Yugoslavia Protests Congressional Support For Kosovo Albanians
Support Our Culture
According to press reports, the Yugoslav Embassy in Washington recently warned American lawmakers against giving support for ethnic Albanians in Yugoslavia’s troubled Kosovo province.
The Yugoslav news agency, Tanjug, reported that the Embassy wrote to American Senators and Representatives and cautioned them that any help to what the Embassy termed Albanian “chauvinists” would jeopardize Yugoslav-American relations. The term “chauvinist” in the current Yugoslav political terminology refers to what in our parlance are “nationalists.” These are Albanians who want to have Kosovo become a republic with the same rights as the other republics of Yugoslavia. Kosovo Albanian nationalists believe their demand is justified because Albanians now comprise over 90% of Kosovo’s population. The problem arises because the Albanians have displaced what was for many centuries the heartland of Serbia and this history is something the Serbians can not surrender.
In its letter to U.S. Congressmen, the Yugoslav Embassy also asserted that Congressional support for the Albanians of Kosovo would raise suspicion in Yugoslav eyes about the sincerity of American expressions of support, common to both Democrat and Republican administrations, for Yugoslav unity and territorial integrity.
The Embassy’s action, according to Tanjug, followed the introduction of what the agency called anti-Yugoslav resolutions in the U.S. Congress.
Several members of Congress have expressed concern about recent constitutional changes which limited self-rule in Kosovo Province. In practical terms, the changes gave the Serbian minority in the Province control over the majority Albanians by making Kosovo more integrally a part of the Serbian Republic, of which Kosovo has been a part since the end of World War 11. Serbians claim the measures were necessary to quell the harass-

ment of the minority Slavic residents of Kosovo at the hands of the Albanian majority.
Embassy Protests Go Also To Leading U.S. Newspapers
The Yugoslav Embassy also sent letters of protest to the editors of various leading newspapers in the U.S. The New York Times was among those newspapers. Today’s American Home carries an editorial article on Yugoslavia by the New York Times that certainly explains why the Embassy would be unhappy. Those of our readers who have expressed concern that we were overdramatizing the problems in Yugoslavia would do well to read that editorial carefully.
The Embassy expressed its criticism over press coverage of Yugoslavia in which the Serbian Communist Party leader Slobodan Milosevic was the object of “insults”. The Embassy said “Yugoslavia” was also insulted by the tenor of the reporting and critical commentary.
It is most unlikely the Embassy’s protests, which were certainly authorized and probably inspired from the Foreign Ministry in Belgrade, will have much effect on the U.S. press.

The sounds and sights of Spring have finally appeared in the northeast Ohio region. Blooming flowers. Longer days. Sprinkling raindrops. Erratic weather.
The one constant sign of Spring, however, is the annual concert performed by the Slovenian singing group, Korotan.
Korotan is a male and female singing organization dedicated toward providing authentic Slovenian songs for its audiences. For approximately four decades Korotan has provided various pictures, through song, of Slovenia.
This year’s concert will be
held on April 22 at the Slovenian National Home on E. 65th and St. Clair Avenue at 7:00 p.m. Admission is $6.00
We can show continued support of this organization by attending this event and enjoying an evening of very good singing. Like so many other Slovenian organizations, Korotan gives us a means to express our culture. We in turn can show the importance of our culture by attending Korotan’s concert.
Dancing will follow the concert with music provided by the Alpine Sextet.
The soul of Slovenian culture is its song and music. Experience this soul on April 22 at the Korotan concert.

St. Mary’s Parish and the Fundraising Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Slovene Home for the Aged are joint sponsors of a benefit dinner in behalf of the SHA, which will be held Sunday, April 30, at the Slovenian Home on Holmes Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio.

Dinners will be served from 11:30 to 2:00 p.m. Entertainment will be provided by the Euclid Squeeze Box Club, Slovenian Home Button Box Players, and, to round out an enjoyable afternoon, the Alpine Sextet.
Take-home dinners will be available for those who have tickets and desire this option. It is recommended that you purchase the tickets in advance, however.
Tickets for the dinner are $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for children under 12. They are available from the Rectory at St. Mary Parish,

Bullying in the Balkans
Only a cynical demagogue would recklessly inflame ancient ethnic hatreds for the sake of his own political ambitions. Slobodan Milosevic, Serbia’s Communist Party chief and thus the leader of Yugoslavia’s largest component republic, has done just that.
Most recently he magnified his dangerous mischief. Backed by troops and armed police, he suppressed local resistance to his drive against the legal autonomy of Kosovo, an ethnic Albanian enclave within Serbia. At least 24 people, including two policemen, were killed.
Yugoslavia’s survival as a federal republic depends on the peaceful coexistence of historically hostile ethnic groups. The quarrelsome collection of mini-states that preceded modern Yugoslavia made “Balkanization” synonymous with chronic division and conflict. Their feuds also became a flashpoint for wider European war.
Mr. Milosevic, 47 years old, started out as an industrial and financial executive and only became Serbia’s Communist Party boss in 1987. Since then he has pressed a relentless political campaign, complete with mass rallies, fiery rhetoric and bureaucratic purges, all aimed at making Serbia, and
its party leader, supreme in a reshaped Yugoslavia.
Already he has forced changes in the leadership of Kosovo and Vojvodina, another autonomous province within Serbia, and in the neighboring republic of Montenegro. But thus far Mr. Milosevic's efforts to impose his will at the national level have been rebuffed.
His willingness to play to ethnic and sectarian feelings has caused considerable uneasiness in Yugoslavia’s Roman Catholic republics, Croatia and Slovenia. The latter is also the country’s most economically advanced and politically enlightened region.
Critics fear that Mr. Milosevic and his allies could build a bloc combining Serbia, Kosovo, Vojvodina and the two other Orthodox Christian republics, Montenegro and Macedonia, and then, with backing from the armed forces, become Yugoslavia’s unchallenged master.
Past reports of Yugoslavia’s imminent breakdown have proved premature. The forces now arrayed against Mr. Milosevic's pretensions are themselves considerable. Yet his course is worrisome, for Yugoslavia and for its neighbors — none of whom are eager to see the Balkans turned into The Balkans once again.

Eksplozija v topovski kupoli na bojni ladji Iowa ubila 47 mornarjev — Vzrok nesreče
ni znan — Vsi v kupoli takoj ubiti
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Preteklo sredo sredi mornariških vaj severovzhodno od Puerta Rica je na bojni ladji Iowa v topovski kupoli nastala silovita eksplozija. V eksploziji in požaru, ki je sledil, a se zaradi učinkovitega ukrepanja mornarjev ni razširil, je bilo ubitih vseh 47 mornarjev v kupoli. Zaradi tega ni očividcev, ki bi lahko pojasnili, kaj se je pravzaprav zgodilo oziroma zakaj je prišlo do eksplozije. Znano je, da je eksplozija nastala, ko še ni bil nobeden od treh topov v kupoli izstreljen.
Bojna ladja Iowa izhaja še iz druge svetovne vojne in ima nosilnost 58.000 ton. Dolga je skoro 900 čevljev in ima 1600-član-sko posadko. Topovi so največji v ameriški mornarici in sprejemajo 16-inčne granate. K sreči je bila eksplozija in požar, ki je sledil, v gornjih delih kupole. V najnižjem delu kupole je enajst mornarjev, ki so se tam nahajali, nesrečo preživelo. Pod kupolo pa so skladišča municije. Ako bi eksplozija ali požar ta skladišča zajel, bi bila Iowa po vsej verjetnosti uničena od katastrofalne eksplozije.
Ladja Iowa se bo vrnila v mornariško pristanišče v Norfolk, Va. V ponedeljek bodo posebne svečanosti, ki se jih bo udeležil predsednik George Bush, ki je sam služil v mornarici med drugo svetovno vojno. Bush \ je izrazil sožalje prizadetim družinam in obljubil temeljito preiskavo o vzroku nesreče, ki je najhujša v mornarici od leta 1977, ko je bilo 49 mornarjev ubitih v nesreči v bližini ^Panske obale. Nekateri upokojeni mornariški častniki menijo, da so bojne ladje iz časa druge svetovne vojne zastarele kljub dragi Posodobitvi, in bi morali biti umaknjeni iz aktivnega službovanja. Smodnik, ki ga upo-rabljajo za streljanje granat, je trideset in veČ star, na primer, topovi pa so več kot Štirideset let stari.
Sest od ubitih mornarjev je doma v Pbiu, vendar med vsemi žrtvami ni nobenih ’men, ki bi bili slovenskega izvora.
^anes bo porota začela razmišljati o krivdi P°lk, Oliverja Northa — Sodnik Gesellova navodila ne obetajo dobrega za Northa
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Danes bo Prvi dan zaključne faze sojenju polk. Oliver-JO Northu, ki je obtožen kaznivih dejanj v Casu, ko je služil v Svetu za nacionalno varnost v Beli hiši. Kazniva dejanja naj bi bil °rth storil v zvezi z Iran-kontra afero. Nor-°va obramba temelji na trditev, da je ne-°*žen, ker je samo izpolnjeval povelja na-rejenih, celo od predsednika Reagana sa-^pga. Danes se bo namreč porota začela raz-’P'sljati o Northovi krivdi.
Ključnega pomena v očeh komentator-^ev> ki sledijo sojenju, so bila navodila, ki jih P včeraj dal poroti 78-letni zvezni sodnik ^erhard Gesell. Sodnik je govoril kar dve uri Pojasnjeval porotnikom, kaj morajo upo-vati in kaj ne v zvezi z ugotavljanjem Nor-je^e *(r’vde ali nedolžnosti. V teh navodilih (j , eseH zavrnil Northova trditev, da je nego en Za,°’ *cer ie Izvrševal povelja od nje-vih nadrejenih. Nihče nima pravice, je po-2 !ni* Resell, dajati povelja ali navodila, ki ZDa^0 OC* P°drejenega, da krši zakon.
A so pravna država, je dejal Gesell. Tudi ^edsednik ZDA ne sme dati navodila kate-pomu *c°l>. da le-ta krši veljavni zakon. Če bo ta te besede razumela z vso resnostjo, ji
skoro ne preostane drugega, kot da ugotovi, da je North dejansko kriv kršenje zakona. Vendar je v tem porota kljub sodnikovim navodilom suverena in tako ni stoodstotno gotovo, da bo proglasila Northa za krivega. Vendar je bil North videti zelo potrt, ko je poslušal Gesellova navodila.
Bush je pripravljen sodelovati v odkrivanju še neobjavljenih dokumentov v zvezi z iran-kontra afero — Bush ima »čisto vest«
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Včeraj je kong. Lee Hamilton, ki je bil zelo aktiven v preiskavi iran-kontra afere, dejal, da kongresna preiskava ni mogla ugotoviti vloge, ki sta jo igrala takratni predsednik Reagan in podpredsednik Bush v iskanju pomoči za nikaragveške kontras od drugih držav. Odbora kongresa namreč niso mogli priti do pomembnih dokumentov, ki so bili uporabljeni šele v sodnem procesu zoper polk. Oliverja Northa. Ti dokumenti kažejo, da sta igrala Reagan in Bush večjo vlogo, kot je bilo znano. Ko je bil o tem vprašan včeraj med srečanjem s skupino novinarjev, je Bush dejal, da še ni pripravljen govoriti, ker sojenju Northu še ni končano, da pa bo sodeloval brez pridržka, ko bo sojenje končano. Mimogrede pa je povedal, da ima popolnoma čisto vest glede svoje vloge v iskanju pomoči za kontras od drugih držav, ni pa hotel v nobene podrobnosti.
Voditelj spodnjega kongresnega doma kong. Jim Wright bo imel velike težave v obdržanju svojega mesta — Javno mnenje proti njemu
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Dobro obveščeni opazovalci razmer na kapitolskem hribu so mnenja, da voditelj demokratske večine v spodnjem kongresnem domu Jim Wright bo le s precejšnjo težavo preživel politično krizo, ki ga je prizadela zaradi njegovega sumljivega finančnega poslovanja. Njegov ugled je tako prizadet, da tudi v slučaju, da bi bil formalno oproščen krivde, bi ga demokrati najraje zamenjali. Wright, ki služi v kongresu že več kot 35 let in ga dobro pozna, bo to najbrž razumel, menijo, in podal ostavko kot voditelj demokratov.
— Kratke vesti —
Manila, Fi. — Danes so neznani atentatorji ubifi 51-letnega polk. Jamesa N. Rowe-a, ko seje peljal Rowe v avtomobilu. Storilci pripadajo po vsej verjetnosti komunističnemu gibanju, ki vodi oboroženo vstajo zoper demokratično ureditev Filipinov. Polk. Rowe je služil v Vietnamu in je bil pet let ujetnik Vietkong upornikov, predno se mu je uspelo pobegniti. O svojih doživljajih je bil napisal knjigo.
Tehran, Iran — Voditelj iranskega parlamenta Rafsandžani je trdil danes, da so iranske varnostne službe odkrile v zadnjih mesecih več vohunskih mrež, ki jih je bila organizirala in financirala Amerika. O številu aretiranih in njih identitete pa ni rekel nič.
Vatikan — Včeraj sta se zopet srečala papež Janez Pavel II. in Lech Walesa, voditelj na Poljskem ponovno legaliziranega gibanja Solidarnosti. Walesa je prišel v Vatikan, da bi se zahvalil Janezu Pavlu II. za papeževo zvesto podporo za Solidarnost. Papež in Walesa sta bila skupaj 30 minut.
Beijing, Ki. — V zadnjih dneh je bilo
ponovnih demonstracij univerzitetnih študentov, ki zahtevajo več svobode in demokracije. Povod za demonstracije je bila smrt Hu Yaobanga, nekdanjega voditelja komunistične partije, ki je bil znan liberalec.

Etnične skupnosti in njih tisk
Včerajšnji clevelandski dnevnik Cleveland Plain Dealer je objavil poročilo, v katerem pove, da je prenehal z izdajanjem lokalni nemški časopis Wdchter und Anzeiger. Ta list je imel kar dolgo življenje, saj je izhajal celih 136 let. Lastnik lista Stefan Deubel, sicer naš dobri znanec, je rekel novinarju Williamu F. Millerju, da je moral časopis ukiniti, ker je imel le še 1100 naročnikov in ni več mogel najti nadomestnih del za njegov 100 let stari tiskarski stroj. Deubel namreč ni mogel ali ni hotel svojega podjetja tehnično modernizirati oziroma preiti na ofset tisk, najbrž zato, ker je sam že 74 let star in itak ni videl rožnate bodočnosti tudi s tvegano in silno drago posodobitvijo svoje tiskarne. Zanimivo je v zvezi z etničnim tiskom (tu so mišljene evropske etnične skupnosti, ne azijske in druge, ki so prisotne v ameriški družbi), da ravno zadnji čas pišejo in tudi ukrepajo o svojem tisku nekatere bratske organizacije. Cikaška Prosveta vodi anketo bralcev, v katerem skuša ugotoviti, kaj bralci želijo v tem glasilu SNPJ, pove pa, da bo treba obseg lista, itak že tednik, omejiti za precejšen odstotek oziroma zmanjšati izdatke, potrebne za ta list. Finančno zelo močna Hrvatska bratska zajednica, ki ima lastno tiskarno pri glavnem uradu v Pittsburghu, pa piše, da finančno ne zmore več tako obsežnega tednika in da v prihodnje list ne bo imel več kot 20 strani.
Vse to potrjuje, da se evropske etnične skupnosti v ZDA bistveno spreminjajo. Jezik iz matične domovine izginja neusmiljeno in neustavljivo, v Ameriki rojeni rodovi so pravi Amerikanci, čeprav so mnogi primeri, ko še ohranjajo zanimanje za svojo etnično pripadnost. Nekateri na ta družbeni razvoj v njihovi etnični skupnosti — konkretneje, v naši slovenski — reagirajo z nekakšnim obupom, češ, naj vendar rešimo, kar moremo, toliko dolgo, kot le moremo. Potem, ko to ne bo več mogoče, ko nas več ne bo, bo konec. Ti želijo nekakšno slovensko etnično enklavo, ali, morda točneje, slovenski »geto«. Kratkoročno morda ima to stališče nekaj uspeha, dolgoročno pa gotovo ne. Pametneje in koristneje za celotno skupnost bi bilo, če bi tisti, ki se zanimajo za ohranjanje slovenstva v ZDA, korakali s časom in razmerami. Ce bomo lahko v prihajajočem stoletju še pisali o navzočnosti nekakšne »slovenske« skupnosti v Ameriki, bomo pisali o skupnosti, v kateri so praktično vsi v Ameriki rojeni, med njimi pa bo prava redkost tisti, ki bo lahko še govoril slovensko. To ni oziroma ne bo nič, pravijo nekateri modreci-intelektualci, to ni ali ne bo nič vredno.
Motijo se. Zelo. Celo bi trdil, da gre tu za usodno napako. 2e danes je res, da tisti, ki so prišli v ZDA kot naseljenci, naj bi bili politični ali »gospodarski« emigranti iz Slovenije, nimajo skoro nobene veljave pri naših ameriških politikih. In ga tudi ne bodo dobili. Vpliv, kolikor ga je, imajo v Ameriki rojeni državljani, ki se zavedajo svojega slovenskega rodu, ki pa izhajajo iz stališča, da je Amerika njih edina domovina, naj se še toliko zanimajo za usodo Slovenije in
Na Gospodov dan, 4. avgusta 1957 je Martin Antončič med oddajo sporočil, da je odšel za njimi tudi Ivan. Med tisoče drugih lobanj na Kalvariji, so takrat v prsti zagrebli še njegovo. Del prahu, ki je ostal za njim, pa je začuda soroden onemu, ki ostaja, kadar pre-minevajo zvezde.
Pišem o Ivanu Zormanu. Že ko sem prvič govoril z njim, mu je bil glas pritajen, ker skrita je v grlu načenjala tkivo mu bolezen. Premalo vem o njem iz svojega, zato iščem podatke, ki so jih nabrali dru gi. Frank Javh-Kern, Vatro slav Grill, Josephine Mišič Anton Šabec, Vicki Hočevar Edi Gobec, Karel Mauser Tone Seliškar, Janko Rogelj Jerneja Petrič, so med tistimi ki so se z objavami v člankih dotaknili Zormanove osebnosti in ocenjevali njegov kulturni prispevek.
Življenjska nit se je Ivanu pričela odvijati 28. aprila 1889 v Šmarju pri Ljubljani. Danes je naselje pod oznako Šmarje-Sap. Tam je bil njegov oče v službi kot organist. Sorodnike je imel v Velesovem, od tam izhaja Zormanov rod.
Leta 1893 se družina iz avstro-ogrske države priseli v rudniško okrožje Ely, Minnesota, poskuša srečo v kraju Calumet, Michigan in se 1897 ustavi v Clevelandu. Oče je iskal zaposlitev, kjer bi lahko uporabil svoje glasbeno znanje (godbenik, organist ali zborovodja), a je le delno uspel. Ker ni bilo trajne zaposlitve, oglašalo pa se je tudi domotožje, se je spomladi 1898 med splošno finančno krizo družina vrnila v Velesovo pri Kranju.
Kmalu je oče spoznal, da so bile ekonomske razmere doma prav tako slabe. Bila pa je ta vrnitev zelo pomembna za kasnejšo življenjsko usmeritev mladega Ivana. Vzljubil je le-

poto, običaje in navade svoje rodne dežele. Tam se je kot otrok lahko brezskrbno podil po travnikih med vaškimi njivami in sadovnjaki, ko je nad njim pomladansko sonce razsipavalo zlatč na pobočja Krvavca, Grintovca in Kočne.
To sliko je nosil v sebi vse življenje. Tam je verjetno hodil nekaj časa v osnovno šolo, oče pa ga je uvajal v glasbo. Devet let je bil star, ko je na Šmarni gori spremljal pevce na koru. Tja so okoliške fare vodile zaobljubljene potresne procesije.
slovenskega naroda. Tega se bodo čez čas zavedali tudi tisti v Sloveniji, ki se borijo za demokratizacijo svoje družbe, zadnji čas pa so le odkrili, da so slovenske skupnosti po ostalem svetu. Sedaj se še najbolj zanimajo za politične emigrantske skupnosti, najbrž predvsem zato, ker je to bila toliko desetletij takšna »tabu« tematika. Ko bodo pa prešli na to, katere slovenske skupine v slovenskih skupnostih v tujini jim oziroma Sloveniji lahko nudijo največ učinkovite podpore, bodo odkrili, o tem sem popolnoma prepričan, ravno tiste, ki morda slovensko več ne govorijo, so pa slovenskega etničnega izvora in pripravljeni pomagati domovini njih prednikov v njenem boju za demokracijo in svobodo. Med te slednje želi spadati tudi ta pisec.
Da se vrnem k našemu tisku. V nekaj tednih bo ta pisec končal deset let pri Ameriški Domovini. Ko sem prišel na to mesto in uvidel po začetnih težavah, da bo šlo, sem si obljubil, da bom na tem mestu ostal največ deset let. To obdobje bo kmalu izpolnjeno, svoje prvotne obljube pa ne mislim držati, čeprav bolj in bolj me moti čas, ki ga posvečam temu delu in mi onemogoča druge aktivnosti, ki me prav tako bolj in bolj mikajo. Ne vem, če bi lahko našel naslednika za to mesto, vendar tudi ne morem več obljubiti, da bom vztrajal samo zato, ker brez mena bi slovenski del lista izginil. Posebej ne, ko vidim, da moja stališča bolj in bolj razhajajo s stališči drugih in ko je dejstvo, da večkrat za številko A.D. nimam več kot enega ali dveh dobrih, pametnih izvirnih člankov. Da bi pa list zdrknil na raven nekaterih meni poslanih člankov ne bi nikoli kot urednik dovolil, prav tako ne bo list postal neposreden ali posreden glasnik režima v Sloveniji. S tem želim samo, da bralci natančneje razumejo, iz katerega kota izhajam.

venski izseljenski koledar, v Glas SDZ, v Zarjo, v Cankarjev glasnik, v Ameriško Domovino, v Rodno grudo.
Na začetku je bilo objavljal v Času (mesečnik za leposlovje, znanost in napredek-Cleve-land), ki ga je urejeval Frank Kerže. Par dni pred smrtjo je izročil uredniku Glasa SDZ, Antonu Šabcu, verjetno zadnje verze. Tu objavljam samo dve kitici pesmi Prišla si spet:
D
Da te ne bom pomlad dočakal, sem v dolgih mrzlih dneh se bal in da zaman bom v hudi sili po tvojem soncu vzdihoval.
5)
Nevem, pomlad ti ljubezniva kako še dolgo boš pri nas, zato se mehko k meni skloni, kot da ti zadnjič zrem v obraz
Pesmi, nastale po 1939, so raztresene po slovenskem tisku. Skoraj ni kažipotov, ki bi označevali, če je ta zapuščina kje ohranjena. Edina hči je med pokojnimi, žena pa je umrla že pred njim. Brat Joseph, advokat v Slovenskem narodnem domu, je tudi že pokopan.
Zormanovo kulturno delo je segalo na mnoga področja. Po otvoritvi Slovenskega narodnega doma (1924) sta s Kernom in s sodelavci vodila slovensko šolo za mladino v tem domu. Leta 1930 je hodilo v to šolo 140 učencev, vodili pa so tudi tečaje za odrasle.
Zorman je prirejal orgelske koncerte. Pri fari sv. Lovrenca je bil organist. Zelo je bil priljubljen kot učitelj mladinskega petja. Združeni otroški zbori so zmogli čez 500 pevcev (Slavčki, Škrjančki, Kanarčki, Črički, Kraljički). Zorman je dirigiral Glasbeno Matico, Zvon, Planino, Slovenijo.
Nekaj svojih pesmi je uglasbil. Jerneja Petrič navaja v R.g. številko 34. Toliko je skladb v pesmarici Slovenske melodije, ki jo je za Slovensko žensko zvezo v Ameriki leta 1950 uredil L Zorman. Toda tu niso samo Zormanove skladbe. Mogoče je to le naključje. Vem za Zormanova glasbena dela, ki jih v tej pesmarici ni, so pa v arhivih zborov, ki jih je vodil.
Emil Adamič, Matija Tomc, tudi Anton Šubelj, Matej Hol-mar, William Lausche so komponirali za njegove verze. Morda boste spoznali tole njegovo, ki je med nami v slovenski priredbi zelo znana:
Gently stir the trees In the evening breeze.
Friendly stars are shining,
Loving hearts are pining;
I am pining too,
Pining, dear, for you.
Če niste uspeli, poskusite na melodijo: Oj večer je že...
Frank Kern 1937. leta svoje spomine končuje z besedo o Ivanu Zormanu. Imenuje ga največji slovenski ameriški pesnik, skladatelj, pianist in organist. Gojil je trdno vero v svoj narod in je sipal na okolico navdušenje in energijo pri delu za naš rod v Ameriki. Kern je Zormanovo pesem
Amerikanci postavil na konec svojih Spominov. V knjigi je tudi Zormanov portret.
Tudi po videzu je bil Zorman markantna osebnost. Njegov značaj, njegovo požrtvovalnost so ljudje cenili in ga zato spoštovali. Imel je dostop v vse slovenske kroge in je bil povsod lepo sprejet.
Akademski slikar Božidar Jakac je z lesorezi ilustriral Zormanovo zbirko »Pota ljubezni«. Leta 1930 je tudi upodobil Zormana v značilni Jakčevi tehniki. Ta portret visi zdaj v Čitalnici. Akademski kipar France Gorše je posnel njegovo posmrtno masko. Na podlagi te je vlil kip za Jugoslovanski kulturni vrt v Clevelandu. Njegova soha je kasneje postala žrtev okoliškega vandalizma, odlitek tega kipa iz mavca pa je pri Severjevih.
Za usluge pri kulturnem delu so Zormanu podelili častno predsedstvo Jugoslovanskega kulturnega vrta. Prirejali so Zormanove dneve s pestrim kulturnim programom, ob smrti pa so se poslovili od njega v Slovenskem narodnem domu.
Zadnja velika slovesnost v njegov spomin je bila ob odkritju že omenjenega spomenika, kar je izvedla njegova hči Carmen. Na predvečer je Slovenski oder podal v Narodnem domu Miklovo Zalo, v priredbi Marka Bajuka. Režiral je Franček Kolarič, organizacijo sporeda pa je vodil Jože Grdina. Ob odkritju 29. septembra 1959 je bil glavni govornik senator Frank Lausche. Isti večer se je vršila v svetovidski dvorani akademija, sestavljena samo iz Zormanovih del. Otvoritveno besedo v čast slavljenčevemu spominu je spregovoril njegov župnik, monsignor John Oman. V pevskih točkah so pod taktirko Antona Šublja zapeli združeno zbori Glasbena Matica, Ilirija, Korotan, Lira, Planina, Slovan, Triglav in pevci iz Nevburgha.
Skupne prireditve ob stoletnici rojstva ne bo, ni potrebnih duhovnih moči. Spomnila pa se bodo samorastnika posamezno tukajšnja kulturna društva.
S pretrižanjem niti njegovega življenja je bilo konec njegovega ustvarjanja. Zapustil nam je dediščino, ob kateri vsi bogatimo. Vredno bi bilo zbrati njegova še raztresena duhovna zrna.	F.K.

Misijonska srečanja in pomenki
805. Uršulinka Marija Frančiška Novak
se je 29. januarja oglasila iz Bangkoka, Tajske:
»Bog povrni za božično pismo in dragoceni ček od MZA za $550. Bo to res za najbolj uboge in potrebne, kot to želite. Naj dobri Bog vse požrtvovalne dobrotnike bogato nagradi, to je moja vsakdanja molitev. Ge. Marici Lavriševi bom skušala čimprej kaj napisati, kar bo tudi za njene učence in učenke, ki se zanimajo za misijone.
Oprostite, da tako pozno prihajam z zahvalo in se zdim brezbrižna in nehvaležna. Vzroka ni drugega kot moja zaposlenost, pa tudi moja počasnost. Zdravje še drži in tako je vsak dan prekratek. V soboto in nedeljo je tudi težko priti do proste ure, takrat imajo ljudje več časa za veroučne ure, ki so zdaj moje glavno delo in potem zborovanja in srečanja, ki se jim ne morem odtegniti.
Leto 1988 je bilo jubilejno leto mojih redovnih zaobljub, polovica stoletja, ki se zdi tako kratka in borna, pa vendar, upam, polna milosti, zato je vsako minuto redovnega in misijonskega življenja z Marijo moja duša poveličuje Gospoda! Na jubilej sem se, hvala Bogu, pravočasno že aprila pripravila z mesečnimi duhovnimi vajami pri jezuitih v Chiangmai-u na severu dežele. Potem so se vrstile katahetske, šolske in hišne dolžnosti do praznika Marijinega Rojstva, jubilejnega dne 8. septembra.
Samo eno željo sem izrazila, da bi obnovila redovne zaobljube v naši farni cerkvi, polni otrok, mojih sedanjih in nekdanjih učenk, zlasti onih, ki sem jih pripravila ali jih pripravljam na zakramente. Tako je tudi bilo. Naš dobri tajsko-kitajski g. župnik je tako lepo pridigoval o Marijinem vzvišenem poklicu Božje Matere in omenil mojega redovnega, misijonskega, za katerega ne morem biti Bogu in Mariji dosti hvaležna. Da bi mogla rasti v ljubezni in zvestobi do konca!
Opoldne smo se tri odpeljale v Chiangmai, da bi praznovala • jubilej s sosestro, rojeno v Bangkoku, s katero sva skupaj vstopili na Francoskem. Našle smo jo v bolnici, s poškodovano hrbtenico po nesrečnem padcu. Tako je bil drugi del mojega jubileja v bolnici pri sosestri in nato dva dni v Chiangmai u na obiskih pri mojih starin znancih, zlasti ubogih, starih, pohabljenih... Nato nazaj v Bangkok, kjer se življenje nadaljuje, čas beži, večnost pa se bliža...
Bolezen je obiskala našo malo uršulinsko provinco ne samo v Chiangmai-u, ampak tudi v Bangkoku; kar dve sestri sta v bolnici preživeli več mesecev. Bog daj, da se obema vrne zdravje. Starejši, ki bi tako rada še nadaljevala svoje izredno plodno misijonsko delo; in mlajši tajski, ki si je v hudi nesreči zlomila hrbtenico
in upamo in molimo, da bo še normalno hodila.
Novembra so nenadne povodnji na ozkem pasu dežele napravile ogromno škode in uničile življenje in premoženje deset tisočev. Vsa dežela se je zganila in prišla na pomoč prizadetim.
Prav na zlati jubilej
sem poleg drugega sprejela nenavadno darilo ali ponudbe, ki je načelno nisem mogla zavrniti. Oče Provinci-jal Redemptorjev meje poprosil, naj mladi švicarski nemški šoli nadomestim kateheta. Nemščino ne govorim gladko, dasi sem seje 12 let učila. Dela je že itak polno, vendar grem vsak petek poučevat z dobro voljo pa nezadostno nemščino. Naj bo tudi to za Kraljestvo! Knjige, ki so mi jih dali na razpolago, so izvrstne; da bi le učenci in učenke mogli in znali odpreti srca blagovesti! Toliko drugih reči jih mika in razvaja! Toplo priporočam ta svoj zadnji apostolat v molitev.
Tako sem v tem jubilejnem letu praznovala Božič v več jezikih kot kadarkoli: začela sem v nemščini s starši učencev in učenk ob petih na sveti večer v lepi katoliški kapeli v katoliški bolnici S. Ludovika: O du frdhliche, o du selige, gna-denbringende Weihnachtszeit! S sestrami smo molili božični oficij v angleščini, polnočnica pa je bila seveda v tajščini v farni cerkvi.
Za sv. mašo v kitajščini ob desetih dopoldne so prišli slovenski gostje iz Maribora: starši ravnatelja trgovskih odnosov med Jugoslavijo in Tajsko. Zelo sem jih bila vesela. Naš francoski misijonar je nato maševal v francoščini in sem ga razveselila z udeležbo. Za božično kosilo smo šle k' sosestri v bolnico. Zvečer še slovesno maševanje v tajščini in nato kitajska pojedina za farane. Ob reki so postavili začasni oder za petje, igre, plese, pred cerkvijo pa mize in stole za obed.
Naslednji dan sem šla obiskat 19-letnega hromega fanta, ki mu je rak zdaj napadel pljuča, v 130 km oddaljeno bolnico v Chombung. In tako naprej...
Že smo na koncu januarja in bliža se kitajsko Novo leto 6. februarja — ‘Trut Chin’. Že zdaj se skrbno nanj pripravljajo.
Ta konec tedna so sosestre in nekatere učiteljice odšla na zanimiv seminar o orientalski molitvi, ki ga vodi benediktinec iz Montreala. Nisem šla zaradi veroučnih ur, ki jih ne smem zamuditi; bliža se velika noč s krsti. Letos jih ne bo veliko, a vsak katehumen je svet zase, ki mu je treba vse posredovati, kar se človeško da in potem vse prepustiti Sv. Duhu...
Za Veliko noč bomo že na ‘počitnicah’, v mesecu naj večje vročine. To je škoda, ker je (dalje na str. 8| -

(Nadaljevanje s str. 6)
težko prepričati naše učenke in ljudi na sploh, da naš največji praznik ni Božič, ampak Velika noč, praznik trpljenja, smrti, in poveličanja Odrešenika vseh ljudi.
Prepozno je, da bi vam voščila srečno Novo leto; to sem storila v molitvi ob jaslicah. Za velikonočna voščila je pa še prezgodaj.
Še enkrat Bog povrni Vam in vsem misijonskim prijateljem in dobrotnikom za Vašo plemenito pomoč. Prosim za molitev, ki Vam jo skušam hvaležno vračati, in za spomin pri sv. maši. V Gospodu hvaležno vdana sestra
Marija Frančiška Novak.«
P.s.: Za zlati jubilej sem prejela lep album s tajskimi znamkami in sem ga namenila Vam. Neka gospa v Kampu-chi, ki se je vračala v Kanado, se je ponudila, da Vam ga nese. Pa sem jo končno zgrešila in album po šel po pošti... Darovali so za naše misijonarje ga. Lenka Oven Hiser-man iz San Mateo, Kalif., ki je ponovno poslala svoj dar $95
za uboge otroke ali za misijonarje, ki imajo večje potrebe. Dela v bolnici kot »Physician’s Assistant« in ima opraviti z mnogo bolniki. Rada bi redno mesečno darovala, kar bi zmogla, za naše misijonarje in uboge otroke. Ga. Lenka prosi molitve za zdravje za njenega očeta g. Slavota Ovna v Mon-tereyu, Kalif. G. Slavotu je v domovini umrla nedavno mati Marija. On sam je poslal 28. marca nekaj darov, ki so prišli »kot odmev na moje postno pismo. Morda bo še kaj prišlo, morda direktno na Tvoj naslov. Moje zdravje je v božjih rokah.«
V Zambijo je iz Slovenije prišel nov laični misijonar Klement Paljk.
