Representatives of the parish organizations and Slovenian community will participate. A combined choir of three groups will lead the music liturgy.
After Mass, a banquet will be held at the parish center and feature a cultural program. In connection with the anniversary, a book of the centennial history will be published and made available to parishioners.
In the future, St. Stephen’s church will be undergoing major transformation. It will become St. Stephen Shrine, to serve mainly a congregation of students from the Cristo Rey High School that has been established on the site of the former St. Stephen’s grade school. With the addition of a student-congregation, the church will continue to be a center for the spiritual life of this very historic area in Chicago’s inner city.

The history is dotted with stories that bring out the typical life of the times, and the problems they faced. It is also filled with stories of courage and determination.
Now, one hundred years later, the celebration of this milestone is here. June ?th, 1998 will mark the anniversary of the original dedication on June 12, 1898. The present church structure is from 1909, other parish buildings were added later. In 1919, the Slovenian Franciscan Fathers accepted the pastoral duties of St. Stephen’s and have continued to this day.
On Sunday, June 7th, the Day of Celebration will begin with a Mass of Thanksgiving to be celebrated by Chicago Archbishop, Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I. at 11:30 a.m. Honored clergy who will concelebrate include the Minister Provincial of the Slovenian Franciscan Fathers, Very Reverend

Jim’s Journal
By Jim Debevec
Cars and related gizmos.
The weather went from 50 degrees to 85° overnight. I’m driving along and the sun is beating down on my window pane, causing a slight pain.
I used to have a cool car with a window you roll up and down by turning a crank handle in the door. But last year the compact I bought had automatic windows already installed. “Fancy-that,” I thought, “Now I’ll travel in style, zipping them windows up and down at my whim.
The weather is hot. Instead of feeling my way nn the door for the handle, I now have to look and search for the control panel. There isn’t just one push-button, but eight!
Why eight? Well, one for each of the four windows to go up and four to go down. Besides those there are a few more to lock or unlock the doors and windows. So there you are. It’s like being at the control panel of a B-17. The engineers and scientists have advanced us to the stage of high-tech nonsense. Just like a computer!
I take my eyes off the road, in my mind discarding what I think are the unnecessary power buttons and look for the device that will simply lower the window a little. This shouldn’t be a job for a Slovenian rocket scientist.
By this time, it’s getting warmer inside, but I had combed my hair just right so I only want the window down an inch. I push the button. The window goes down, and down, and down, until it’s in the basement somewhere. “Hey, what’s going on?” I search around the eight-control buttons and select one that might push the window back up. I push it. The window in the back seat goes down, scaring the
heck out of the passenger sitting there.
“Whoops, “ I stammer trying to push the button to get the rear window back up. But instead, the front one goes back up - all the way.
After pushing every button I can find, all the windows finally go back up, which means I have to start all over again to open the front one that one inch, which I could have done 20 times already the old-fashioned way by using a hand-crank.
Suddenly, I get the window just right, but the sun disappears and it starts to rain causing all the window trouble to begin again, only this time our hair is standing straight back and everybody is looking like we’ve spent the last hour in a wind tunnel and the passengers begin questioning my Mensa membership.
Not to be outdone, the car also has a speed control.
You get it going at a comfortable speed, say 65 miles an hour on the Interstate.
You fiddle around with all the dials and gadgets on your steering wheel, which used to be for steering and blowing the horn. You ever see those old movies where a person pulls up to the curb in a convertible and the steering wheel has a rim all around the inside of the wheel?
That’s the horn. If you need to use the horn real quick, you could find it very fast. On my car, there is a 2-inch by 14-inch space with a picture of Duke Marsic blowing his horn. Actually, it’s just a trumpet that us knowledgeable drivers figure out it might be the car horn. Can you imagine another driver about to pull into traffic in front of you and doesn’t see you and is about to crash into you and all you can do is slam on the brakes and search the wheel for the little trumpet.
To get back to the speed control, after about 15 minutes of fooling around, you figure out how to set the speed and all of a sudden you run into - ORANGE BARRELS (often referred to by the workers as construc-
tion barrels - or otherwise known by us drivers as PORK BARRELS) because someone is using a lot of influence to get us tax payers to dish out all that money so we can be delayed getting everywhere!
I timed myself driving to Medina in the middle of a winter’s snow storm and driving on a sunny, clear day. It takes twice as long on beautiful days because of the construction. As for the Inner-Belt bridge, forget it; that construction program has been going on for decades.
So you get out of the barrel zone for a while and set the speed control again and what do you do? Do you sit back and relax as the car’s computer takes over the acceleration of the car?
HECK NO! What you do is worry that the computer chips won’t fail. And then you have apprehension when the car in front of you begins to slow, and you hit the brakes as you pray the automatic speed control will turn itself off otherwise you’re going to run right into the rear-end of the slowpoke and it’ll be your fault and there goes the insurance.
So you think to yourself, “Why am I spending a $1,000 for a device that causes me to worry that it will turn itself off.
But when you’re young, you do all kinds of crazy things. I even bought a convertible and didn’t even think of how the wind was going to mess up my hair. I got a crew cut -just like Rudy Flis.

The humanoid went from a slouching walk to an upright being in a matter of a few thousand years. Now some have gone right back where they started.
When my father, relatives or neighbors bought an automobile, they sat in them ramrod straight. The U.S. Marines would have been proud of them. They believed that owning and driving a car was a privilege to be admired by sitting in it in an upright position.
Today I notice people driving cars, — well it looks like there’s nobody driving the cars. All you can see is the top of their heads. The drivers are slouched down so far many are invisible. They must be using their knees and hands to push the gas pedals and brakes.
Whatever happened to pride and character?
Sometimes the old-fashioned notions were best.

Sharing her talents with the young and elderly
Capitol of South Korea, had one million persons living there. In 1996 the population is 11 million. The Han River goes through Seoul. It was
dredged and widened for miles. It contains levies so it will not flood. From the water’s edge for about 100 miles inland it is filled in and there are all sorts of parks and sports fields. In summer it is filled with music and people. There are six lane highways and must be about 20 new wide bridges that cross the Han river.
From the first day on, at our hotel breakfast was fit for a king. There were about 60 of us servicemen, all branches of the service, plus our wives. We started the days at 9 a.m. on three 45-seat luxury buses and traveled to different memorials or museums. Lunches were included at different hotels. Big signs were on the side of the buses and everywhere we went, people waved at us. We visited battlefields and cemeteries. April is still cold and most of the time we needed our coats.
One day we went up to the 38th parallel, to Pan-munjon. That is the line that divides North and South Korea. It was about 2 '/2 hour bus ride from Seoul. They have a glass wall that separates one side of Korea from the other. We were told not to make any kind of gestures towards the North Korean Soldiers.
We were allowed to walk along the glass wall and I was five feet from a North Korean soldier. He walked his post or path like our soldiers walk at Arlington Cemetery at the Unknown Soldier’s Tomb in Washington, DC.
On our way back to the hotel, we stopped at Army Camp Bonifac. This is the closest camp to the 38fh parallel. We had Army food for our supper.
The last day of our tour, in the evening, we had a big banquet in the hotel ballroom. Many Korean officials, Army brass, Korean musical shows, and each serviceman was called by name, walked up to the stage and each was given a Korean medal. At the end of the banquet, we all tried to sing a famous Korean folk song, Aude Dong. I always did like the music to the song, but cannot pronounce the words.
I really enjoyed the tour and hospitality of the Korean people, and If I could, I hope to go back. The next day we started our trip home.
Sometimes history or events are repeated.
In May, 1951 I was a young USA soldier on the front lines in the Korean
hills. I was in the 2nc* Infantry Division, 72"d TK BN, C co., 2fid platoon. There were 5 tanks in our platoon. Tanks 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25. We were in a small valley, with big hills on each side.
In the morning we could see hundreds of enemy soldiers slowly coming out of the hills toward us. There was a road block and I seen 32 Army trucks burning on the road that were trapped.
We had WWII Sherman M-4, five-man crew tanks,
with .76 mm barrel turret guns. I was a recruit replacement loader on TK 24. We were on a hill trapped also. About noon, hundreds of enemy soldiers were 50 yards from us, just walking slowly forward. We still had radio communication.
The lieutenant on TK21 said he is not going to be a prisoner and he is taking his tank over the cliff and if he makes it, the rest of us should follow. He called back saying he made it, and everyone should follow. Tank 22 made it, then 23 followed. When we started our TK 24, soldiers were 5 feet from us, trying to crawl on our moving tank. We were buckled up, all hatches closed tight, and over the cliff we went. We made it.
Tank 25 which was next to follow, never did make it out of the trap. To this day I do not know if they were captured or killed. I was only on that tank 3 days so I did not know anyone on TK25. Since that day I always thank the good Lord that He got me back to the USA. Out of our platoon of 25 men, 5 of us were from the Pittsburgh, PA area. There was one from Youngstown, Ohio. That battle was called May Massacre 51. The 2fid Infantry Division lost a lot of men and equipment in that battle. In 1950, a full strength Army Division was 17,000 men.

MTy daughter Monica l\/1 is in college. To -L ▼ -M-help	with
expenses, she works in a nursing home, mostly weekends. She loves the people she takes care of. When time permits, she will shampoo the ladies’ hair, and paint their fingernails and toe nails, and the ladies are delighted while they are fussed over.
When Monica comes home from work on a Sunday afternoon, and we have a family gathering, her day is nowhere over. Her little nieces are waiting for her.	When	our
granddaughter arrives at our home, they usually say “Hello	Grandma	and
Grandpa, where is Aunt Monica?”
Why would Monica be so popular with her nieces? Is it because she is young and single, with no babies to care for? That could be part of it, but the reason for Monica’s popularity is her knack or her ability to make a little girl feel like a little lady.
The way Monica does
this is she brings down all her paraphernalia for hair and nails. Then she fusses over their hair, and lets them pick out their favorite color nail polish. She usually sets the youngest granddaughter on the table, puts cotton between her toes, and paints her toe nails, then her finger nails.
Sarah walks around our home with a big grin, showing off her toes and fingers to anyone who will take time to look. Now she is a little lady, an extremely happy little lady, who seems to have the whole world in her little hands, with the pretty colored nails.
My granddaughter Sarah, is having her toenails painted by Aunt Monica as my granddaughter Ashley looks on while trying to decide on a color for her nails.
Monica’s day has come full circle, starting her day with God’s elderly, and ending her day with God’s children.
Aren’t we lucky Monica is not unique among our young adults?

“August has been actively involved for many years as a supportive member and is on the Board of Trustees of many international program organizations, from his days in Cleveland City Hall, to the Governor’s Office. He has aggressively promoted arrangements of one-to-one professional meetings, internships, and protocol visits of emerging world leaders, academia and business contacts to Ohio.”
“I am extremely happy to receive this award,” said August B., Pust, “and for the opportunities of working with many volunteers, Ohio’s host families, and the business community for increasing the international visibility for Ohio. We all work in a partnership with other countries, which leads to long-lasting friendships, promotion of democratic systems, and benefits Ohioans and our partners overseas.

(NAPS)—When it’s warm outside, few desserts are more appealing than an ice cream pie. Making one yourself is easy, and it can be better for your heart—and waistline—than a store-bought pie.
Reminiscent of an ice cream sundae but with a delicious cookie crunch. Heavenly Sundae Pie gets both its “crunch” and wholesome goodness from a lower-fat oatmeal cookie crust. Because oats are a whole grain, this cookie crust has more filler than other kinds of cookie crusts used for ice cream pies.
Fat-free vanilla ice cream, softened slightly then spooned into the oatmeal cookie crust, delivers a cooling creaminess with virtually no fat. The same is true for the fresh fruit and fat-free fudge sauce that top each sinfully delicious slice.
HEAVENLY SUNDAE PIE
8 servings
1 cup Quaker oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked) 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons margarine, melted
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
Saturday, Sept. 5 Slovenian Mass honoring Bishop Frederick Baraga, 6:30 p.m. in St. Vitus Church, Cleveland. Social will follow in auditorium.
Sunday, Sept. 6 Mass honoring Bishop Frederic Baraga in St. John Cathedral in downtown Cleveland at 2 p.m., followed by banquet and annual Bishop Baraga Association meeting in Slovenian National Home, 6417 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland. Banquet tickets are SOLD OUT.
1 tablespoon water
1	quart fat-free vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
2	cups fresh fruit such as blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries, sliced bananas or pitted sweet cherries
1/2 cup fat-free fudge sauce, warmed slightly
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. In medium bowl, combine oats, flour, margarine, brown sugar and water; mix well. Press firmly onto bottom and sides of pie plate. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack. Spoon softened ice cream into cooled crust, spreading evenly and smoothing top. Cover and freeze until firm, about F hours. Remove pie from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges; top with fruit and fudge sauce.

California Slovenians keep Slovenian traditions
TT 'V Te just recently % /\/ started receiving
T V copies of the American Home newspaper. We are receiving it through the good graces of my brother, Rudy Flis, who, as you know, writes very charming articles for this paper.
My wife, Carol, and myself, were married in 1961 at St. Richard’s Church in North Olmsted and had a polka band play at our wedding reception. We came out to California in 1962. She was bom and raised in North Olmsted and I was bom and raised in Cleveland on Rocky River Drive near the airport. We came out to California when our daughter, Lisa Marie, was 1-year-old.
Today, as a matter of fact, (May 15) is her birthday. She turns 36 years young today. Our son, Tony, was bom at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Torrance, CA and will be 33 in June.
When we came to California, all nine of the Flis brothers and sisters thought we were betraying the family by moving from Cleve-
land. They still ask us when are we coming home? We still love Cleveland as our home town, but this has been home to us for 36 years.
When we receive the paper it gives us a taste of “home.” We love to read about the places that we remember and about the great Slovenian potica and sausage. (By the way, we can’t seem to get good blood sausage out here, so have started making it, along with potica with the help of our Slovenian cookbook from the Slovenian National Home in Cleveland).
We have raised both of our children to realize that their ancestry is Slovenian and they both love klobasa, potica, blood sausage, želodec, and sauerkraut and beans. Since they were little ones, we have made sure they have been aware of their heritage.
When you see Rudy, please tell him we are very grateful for the subscription to the paper.

We did our best to save, Beloved on earth, regretted still, Remembered in the grave.

Thanks - For a Free Count1
This Memorial Day I’ll attend mass and pray for our fallen heroes. I’ll thank God for them, for we are a free country, because of their gift to each of us.
What was this gift? Our freedom. What did it cost. A life. Life is a precious gift from God. Not easy to give away. But each of the fallen
did just that, in their

\
personal way.	l°Pcl
Did you know a,1g 9rc n them? Ever think of v \

Throughout the day, educational events were scheduled at the sanctuary. Just
when we got tired of walking around we discovered an outdoor area where two naturalists were showing off birds of prey for an audience, of school children. We watched with wonder as a Wedge-tailed Eagle flew in front of the crowd to pick off a mouse held in the hand of a keeper. It was more exciting for our daughter, who was sitting in front of the keeper and thought the eagle was going to land on her. A falcon in full flight was able to capture a dead mouse thrown into the air.
The Dingos, the wild dogs of Australia, were sleeping on a large rock, when we noticed them. Because they are predators, they were kept behind a moat to protect the other animals. The Dingos became notorious in the United States after the movie starring Merle Streep, where she uttered the line, “The Dingo stole my baby.”
My daughter, husband, and I all got to pet a Wombat, whose fur was very coarse like a horse. They are the closest relative to the Koala, about the size of a medium size pig and weigh up to 80 pounds. They are very slow moving and are often hit by cars, so the sanctuary is often given injured or orphaned animals to raise. This particular wombat had been released into the wild, but kept coming back to the Sanctuary, so they were keeping it and putting it on display.
We encountered the Koalas near the end of the trail and there were no other visitors around then. We sp$nt the longest time watching a mother with a baby climb slowly up a tree. She seemed completely oblivious at one point to the fact that the baby, who was clinging to her stomach, was caught on a branch. The mother just kept climbing and eventually the baby’s leg came free and he moved up to her back. Koalas have the cutest faces, even though it is a surprise to see how red rimmed their eyes are. They look like wonderfully alive teddy bears with extremely long claws, which made us decide not to try to pet them either. The Koalas were definitely my favorite animal seen on the trip.
Each of the Koalas in this area inhabited its own eucalyptus tree. The leaves of the tree are a narcotic, which may account for why the
Koalas move so slowly. We discovered that although the sanctuary had 8,500 trees to supply food for the Koalas it is not enough and it costs several thousand dollars a year to feed one Koala.
Our final stop was at the billabong, home to water-fowl, tortoises, frogs, fish, and platypus. This is where we encountered the pelicans. It was only a few minutes before an education show was to begin and one of the
pelicans decided to start on his own. He flew up to perch next to the railing where we were standing and begin to perform for us. He looked us in the eye and then turned his neck almost completely around and looked at us again. This is when I noticed that pelicans have really nasty looking sharp hooks on the end of their beaks. We didn’t pet the pelicans either.
If you are interested in

Rev. Godic celebrates 25th Father Frank G. Godic,
Diocesan Director of Pastoral Care Services and Health Affairs, Chaplain of St. Michael Hospital and Administrator of St. Lawrence parish will celebrate the 25dl anniversary of his ordination with a Mass at St. Vitus Church in Cleveland, St. Lawrence Church in Cleveland, and Saint Michael hospital in Cleveland during the summer months.
/^Vne of the Slovenian I iHome for the V/ Aged’s veteran employees is the very friendly, hardworking Jennie Povirk.
She has been a main-stay of the Home for more than 28 years. We honor her in this issue of News from Home and congratulate her on her many years of dedicated service to our residents.
Jennie was born and raised in the town of Moravče in the Gorenjsko region of Slovenia but later moved to the capital city, Ljubljana. Her husband, John, is a Ljubljana native. He and Jennie met and were married there in 1960.
Their first two children were bom in Slovenia before the family emigrated from there to the USA in 1970. They are long-time residents of Euclid. John Povirk worked as a machine operator prior to retiring because of a medical disability. He is an accomplished artist and is well known in the Slovenian community for his excellent art work, including the drawings used in the Home’s
last two Annual Christmas Tree Appeals.
The Povirks are the parents of four children: Sylvia is 36, married and has two children; Tom, an accountant, is married and lives in New York City area; Robert is 25, works as an architect and lives in Cincinnati; and Monica is 18, lives at home and is a high school senior.
Jennie and John also keep in close touch with their relatives in Slovenia and have visit there often. Jennie has three brothers and John has 12 brothers and sisters, all of whom still live in Slovenia.
Jennie is a wonderful example of a conscientious, caring nursing home worker dedicated to helping our residents live comfortably and happily in their later years. We are most grateful for her devotion to the elderly and her unselfish hard work in assuring they receive the good care they deserve. Well done, Jennie. Thank you.

AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, MAY 21, 1998
AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, MAY 21, 1998
io Frankie Yankovic Saluted
By Tony Petkovšek,
Chairman
A special day to cele-/\ brate the life and JL X.times of “America’s Polka King,” Frankie Yank-pvic, will take place Wednesday, June 3 at the SNPJ Farm on Heath Road, off Route 6 - Chardon Road, in Kirtland, Ohio.
The day-long event is the annual fun and fundraising get-together for the Cleveland-style Polka Hall of Fame. Hours will be from 2 until 9 p.m. and will give polka fans and musicians an opportunity to mingle in a spirit of good fellowship in the same Slovenian picnic pavilion where Yankovic originally played some 60 years ago.
Having officially played his last band job last August when he announced his retirement, the polka maestro has been ailing with heart problems but has somehow bounced back to make occasional special guest appearances but not as an active musician.
In February, while at the Grammy Awards in New York as a nominee for the
polka category, he got an unexpected call from Vice President A1 Gore commending him for his many contributions to America’s polka culture.
As one of the original inductees as a lifetime achiever in the Polka Hall, he will be saluted on June 3 just as Cleveland’s Polka King, Johnny Vadnal was upon his retirement at a memorable party a year ago.
Fred Ziwich and Joey Tomsick will be coordinating bands and musicians along with Nashville’s Joey Miskulin. There will be many bands rotating on two bandstands in the pavilion and button box groups will play on the outdoor bandstand. Any musicians can contact Ziwich at (440) 734-2404. Canada’s Walter Ostanek and other out-of-towners are expected. The Yankovic tribute program will be at 7:30 p.m.
Members of the SNPJ Farm board will manage refreshments while the Polka Foundation committee headed up by George Staiduhar will host the gate where $5 admission tickets will be available from 1 p.m.

American Slovenian Club of South Florida
| n the merry, merry I month of May, the American Slovenian Club of South Florida met at N°b Hill Hall on the 3r<^, in Sunrise, Florida. And a very nierry time it was.
There was a beautifully decorated birthday cake pro-v'ded by Mary Makar to honor her aunt Anna CarziUo’s 94th birthday. Ed B|atnik treated with ice Jeam for his 88th May irthday. All that following a elicious roast beef dinner. Cognizant of approaching emorial Day, Marie Airlock read an inspira-lQnal relevant poem before arlene Valpatic read the nanies of the 64 deceased jjjembers. Those who knew I em> can’t help feeling the Ss> at the same time re-^mbering the good times st>ared.
because Mother’s Day is iext Sunday, I read from a rances Babic, M.A. writing.
As a first generation American, 1 am moved by her poignant description of her grandmother’s life in the United States. Those hearing her words can relate to the writer’s story. How indebted we are to our parents for their courage and sacrifice in taking advantage of the opportunity the United States provided for a better life for their children.
Thanks to Emil Podracky and Ed Squirlock for the music, and especially to Dan Novak for the Slovenian tunes.
With promises to keep in touch during our June, July and August break, we said goodbye for now. Where do you vacation when you live in vacationland? A nine day tour of Iceland is in store for me - a stark contract to life in South Florida. The next meeting is in September.

Memorial Day Polka Rash
Recipe for a Good Time
Take a generous portion of Fedorchak. Sprinkle liberally with Zwick’s International Sound Machine. Fold in old friends you haven’t seen over the blustery winter. Top with tasty treats and blend with your favorite liquid refreshment. Bake for six hours under toe-tapping polka music.
That’s the recipe for an afternoon of good times and a grand way to kick off the summer season. What you end up with is the traditional Polka Bash held annually on Memorial Day - this year the date is May 25 - sponsored by Grand River Valley Lodge 30, AMLA.
The event promises to be bigger and better than ever. It’ll kick off the summer picnic activity schedule at the Recreation located on Kniffen Road. The gates open at noon and the festivities start with the music at 1 p.m.
Featured again this year will be two band stands and two great bands. Fred Zi-wick and his International Sound Machine and the Joe
Fedorchak Orchestra will share the bandstands. Continuous music starts at 1 p.m. and will go until 7 p.m. As in the past Slovene Singing Virtuoso Eddy Kenik has been invited to sing along with Joe Fedorchak.
No need to bring anything other than a big appetite and your dancing feet. The kitchen will be open serving roast beef and klobase sandwiches, french fries, hot dogs, coffee, and sweets. The fully stocked cash bar will be serving a complete range of liquid refreshments.
Admission is $7 per person at the gate. You can save by buying in advance. Advance tickets are available for $6 from the Fairport Slovenian Club, the AMLA Home Office, or from Lodge 30 officers Tony Satej, Rudy Shumer, or Stan Modic in Painesville, Ohio at 354-4756. A supply has also been mailed to other lodge secretaries and may be available through your own AMLA lodge.

Our Fascinating Adventure Visiting Alaska
By Ernest A. Ryavec
(Continued from last week)
We left our car at the Portage Railroad Station parking lot. The 40-minute train ride through two tunnels brought us to Whittier. The tunnels through solid rock were made in 1941-1943 by the US Army to 5 bring troops and supplies to < Anchorage and to central Alaska from Whittier, an Ice-free deep-water port. As you walk from the train imagine seeing the 14-story Begich Towers which now house more than half of Whitter’s population. The building has been renamed in honor of US representative Nick Begich of Alaska, who with Rep. Hale Boggs of Louisiana disappeared in a small plane near here in 1972. Of interest, the Exxon Valdez oil spill took place 100 miles northeast of Whittier in Prince William Sound on Good Friday 1989.
We enjoyed the 26 Glacier cruise immensely. The glaciers continued their intermittent break-up called “calving,” some with large icebergs and canon-fire-like sounds and others with ice showers from the glacier faces. You see an .abundance of wildlife from the numerous sea otters swimming with their backs in the water to bird rookeries on the rock out-croppings. The fascinating history of Prince William Sound is recorded in “26 Glacier Cruise” by Jim and Nancy Lethcoe, published by Prince William Sound Books, P.O. Box 1313, Valdez, AK 99686. They have lived on their boat year-round in the Sound since 1976 observing and writing. There are many glaciers elsewhere in Alaska and in the world, I know. The natural beauty of this area with the Chugach National Forest in the background and the large numbdr of sea otters, sea lions, seals, whales, bald eagles and other birds here invite you to visit this area.
We left Portage on Highway 1, the Sterling Highway, for Cooper’s Landing where we had room reservations that night. We were at the Center of the Kenai Peninsula and on the Kenai River, famous for fishing. In the morning we saw the newly-built Princess Kenai Lodge a few miles down the road overlooking the Kenai River. Fisher-people were in boats and rafts on the river as we drove along the Sterling Highway. At Soldotna we turned north
wanting to see Kalifomsky. One of the welders at a Gas Center - oxygen, acetylene, etc. - told us that a local writer by the name of Kali-fornsky had lived in the area and over time his name was given to the road that went towards Kenai but which turned back south along Cook Inlet to rejoin the Sterlig Higway at Kasilof. It was not a town or hamlet but a map-maker’s creative geographic idea. Real estate activity is heavy as evidenced by the large number of newly-built homes and businesses in and around Soldotna. This reflects a growing influx of retirees, especially Alaskans who enjoy fishing, hunting and golf.
Just across the Cook Inlet one sees the majestic always snow-covered volcanic mountains of Mount Spurr (11,100 feet) which erupted in 1992, Mount Iliamna (10,016 feet), and Mount Redoubt (10,197 feet) which erupted in 1989 and sent volcanic ash some 50 miles in radius over much of western Kenai peninsula.
Soldotna is one of Alaska’s best known sport fishing centers. In May 1985, a Les Anderson of Soldotna landed a 97-pound King salmon here, a new world record. At Kenai you can fish from some houses’ backyards or along the river banks.
Fort Kenay was the first American military installation in Kenai established in 1869. Across the street the original church, the Holy Assumption Russian Orthodox Church was built in 1846 and the present church there was built about 1897 with its three onion-shaped domes.
We continued on Route 1 and stopped at Ninilchik, one of the old Russian villages along the Cook Inlet coast. On Memorial Day weekend, Ninilchik is referred to as the third largest city in Alaska, as thousands of Alaskans arrive for the fishing. A major halibut fishery off Ninilchik has produced some of the largest halibut in Cook Inlet, including one 466-pound sport caught halibut. Above this historic old coastal village you can see a Russian Orthodox church painted white on a hill overlooking the inlet. Both the church and the adjacent cemetery are in use.
Halfway to Homer on Route 1 is Anchor Point where a few miles inland there is a colony of Russian “Old-Believers.” I did not wish to intrude in the area so
we continued on to Homer where we arrived in the late afternoon at the Sun Spin Guest House.
The next three days we enjoyed the sunny days and Homer, the Spit, and a short boat ride across Kachemak Bay to Seldovia. Homer
calls itself the “Halibut Fishing Capitol of the World.” We enjoyed eating fresh halibut there at very reasonable prices. However, the charter boats for halibut fishing cost an individual fisher-person some $100.00 to $150.00 per day. - You can eat a lot of halibut at the Spit restaurants for that money. If you are a fisher-person, the cost makes no difference. In my case, I am not.
Homer is also known as an artist colony There are a number of galleries and craft shops. Tom Bodet of Motel 6 radio fame, I understand, enjoys Homer on a part-time basis. The Pratt Museum on Bartlett Street, just a few blocks from our guest house, presents the natural and cultural history of Alaska’s south-central region - a most interesting museum.
Katchemak Bay is a large bay that goes inland from Cook’s Inlet and is very rich in marine life. Jutting out for nearly five miles from the Homer shore is the Homer Spit, a long narrow strip of gravel, which is the center of activity for Homer. Fresh crab, shrimp and halibut and other seafood can be bought from seafood shops or from the fishermen.
In 1964 after the earthquake, the Spit sank some four to six feet. While enjoying some broiled fresh halibut at noon, we heard the Spit hazard warning siren for a minute on its daily practice. One lady near us shud-
dered because of the memories, I presume. Many lives were lost here on Good Friday of 1964.
Lisa and I took a boat ride some 16 miles from the Spit to Seldovia across Kachemak Bay. Seldovia was a Russian trading post. It still has some native Russian descendants. We met one of them as we walked up the hill to the rebuilt old orthodox church. Fortunately, the young man was a trustee of the church and in his nearby house had a key to the church. We had a few minutes to see the inside of the church thanks to this Seldovia citizen who was repairing a house nearby.
In Seldovia Bay there is excellent king, silver, and red salmon, and halibut fishing May through Sep-
tember. On the way to Seldovia we passed two small islands which were claimed as homesteads by two brothers in the early 1900’s. Their descendants have built imposing houses which are occupied on a continuing part-time basis.
Lisa had to return to work so she flew from the Homer Airport on 6 September to Galena via Anchorage and Fairbanks early Saturday morning. We left Homer later that day for Anchorage and more sightseeing.
At the fork of the road to the Alyeska Resort and Highway 1 we saw a large black bear coming down a steep slope from the mountain on the right of the road. We slowed down so we passed the bear about 100 feet from us and about 15 feet up the slope. We did not stop to see what action a state highway trooper (who had been driving behind us from Portage) took after stopping. We were fortunate to obtain quarters at Fort Richardson Army Base just north of Anchorage,
Government quarters at COST are available on a space-available basis at many military facilities to retired military persons. The military facilities and quarters must be available for active duty personnel so it is economically advantageous to the government to gain income from renting un-used quarters to retirees to help meet expenses.
Anchorage sprawls over a large area and is bordered on the east by the scenic Chugach Mountain Range and on the west by the Knik Arm of the Cook Inlet. On a clear day one can sometimes see Mt. McKinley (Denali) about 130 miles north. The area has many attractions, including the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum adjacent to the Anchorage Airport and located on the south shore of Lake Hood.
We enjoyed having ale-battered halibut at the Gla-
cier Brew house at the corner of 5* and “H”. They brew their fine beers in the back of the restaurant.
Anchorage has the recently completed $167 mil' lion Indian Hospital Center Throughout Alaska the state opted to build schools in the Indians’ home towns instead of continuing centralizem separate Indian boardin$ schools. Sidney Hunting!011 was a leading proponent whc opposed continuing the boarding schools which h{ attended as a boy.
Early on, the Jesuits were the missionaries in much 0 Alaska. Father Hubbard, Jesuit priest, became know® as the Glacier Priest. I hear1 his lecture and saw his vide1 presentation in 1937 think) at John Carroll Ufl*' versity. The Francisca0* now have residence in lena and other Athabasca*1 Indian areas.

Waterloo’s Memorial Day
In 1865, Henry C. Welles, a druggist in the village of Waterloo, NY, mentioned at a social gathering that honor should be shown to the patriotic dead °f the Civil War by decorating their graves. In the Spring of 1866, he again mentioned this subject to General John B. Murray, Seneca County Clerk. General Murray embraced the idea and a committee was formulated to plan a day devoted to honoring the dead.
Townspeople adopted the idea	wholeheartedly.
Wreaths, crosses and bouquets were made for each veteran’s grave. The village Was decorated with flags at half mast and draped with evergreen boughs and Mourning black streamers.
On May 5, 1866, civic societies joined the proces-s*0n to the three existing Cemeteries and were led by Veterans marching to martial music. At each cemetery there were impressive and *engthy services including sPeeches by General Murray ^d a local clergyman. The Cerernonies were repeated on May5, 1867.
The first official recogni-ti°n of Memorial Day as such was isšued by General ^°hn A. Logan, first commander of the Grand Army °f the Republic. This was General Order No. 11 estab-ishing “Decorating Day” as 11 Was then known. The date
of the order was May 5,
1868, exactly two years after Waterloo’s first observance. That year Waterloo joined other communities in the nation by having their ceremony on May 30th.
In 1965, a committee of community leaders started plans for the Centennial Celebration of Memorial Day. Their goals were: “To obtain national recognition of the fact that Waterloo is the birthplace of Memorial Day through Congressional action” and “To plan and execute a proper celebration for such centennial observance.”
In May of 1966, just in time for the Centennial, Waterloo was recognized as the “Birthplace of Memorial Day” by the United States Government. While other communities may claim earlier observances of honoring the Civil War dead, none can claim to have been so well planned and complete.
A once luxurious home on Waterloo’s Main Street, built in 1850, was purchased from the county and restored. Now the Memorial Day Museum, it houses artifacts of the first memorial Day and the Civil War era.
Each year, parades, speeches and solemn observances keep the meaning of Memorial Day as it was originally intended.

Dazzling Cool Summer Desserts
(NAPS)—Warm weather need not prevent you from dazzling your dinner guests with a delicious dessert or from satisfying a sweet tooth.
Stay cool by making summer desserts that bypass the oven. A variety of convenient ingredients lend themselves to quick and easy nobake desserts. Here’s a list of items to keep on hand and some simple ideas for making the most of them:
CANNED FRUIT
•	Canned fruit such as pineapple, mandarin oranges and tropical fruit salad, can be tossed with sliced fresh fruits and sprinkled with mint leaves or served over vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt with chocolate syrup.
•	Crushed pineapple takes on new character when partially frozen with juice and whirred in blender shakes with bananas and frozen yogurt.
Serve in your prettiest goblets.
•	Make a quick “ambrosia” with canned fruits, miniature marshmallows, and coconut folded into low-fat sour cream or vanilla yogurt.
PUDDING AND PIE MIXES
•	Use for pie fillings with frozen prepared crusts.
•	Layer with pound cake and fruit.
•	Layer ’with sliced ripe fruit to make attractive par-faits.
ICE CREAM AND FROZEN YOGURT
•	Make your own icecream pies with cookie-crumb crusts. Top with chopped nuts or a favorite fruit.

Make this delicious summer dessert by topping sn ^ cakes with a blend of cream cheese, honey, lemon % pineapple slices. Arrange on a pretty platter and top such fruits as halved strawberries, blueberries and tarine slices. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
• Assemble ice cream sandwiches with store-bought cookies and softened ice-cream. Layer ice cream between two cookies, freeze on a tray and, when firm, wrap in plastic to store.
This luscious no-bake shortcake also makes a cool finale to any summer meal:

Papež Janez Pavel II. bo oktobra drugič obiskal Hrvaško - Razglasil za blaženega bo kardinala Alojzya Stepinca
Od 2. do 4. oktobra letos bo papež Janez Pavel II. drugič obiskal Hrvaško. Med obiskom, 3. oktobra, bo papež v hrvaškem nacionalnem svetišču Mariji Bistrici kardinala Alojzija Stepinca razglasil za blaženega. Dne 10. maja so na Hrvaškem praznovali stoto obletnico rojstva kardinala Stepinca (1898—1960). Po vojni je jugoslovanski komunistični režim obsodil na 16-letno zapor in izolacijo v rojstnem Krašiču. Kot je v Delu poročal novinar Peter Potočnik:
“Z analizo njegovih (tj. Stepinčevih) posmrtnih ostankov leta 1993 so tudi ugotovili, da je bil zastrupljen, vatikanski mesečnik Jesus pa v majski številki celo navaja, da je jugoslovanska policija “iz kardinalovega trupla iztrgala srce in ga sežgala”. Državni tožilec Jakov Blaževič Je na procesu proti kardinalu Stepincu z imenom “Stepinčeva cerkev” Vatikanu in zagrebškemu Kaptolu očital španovijo s Propadlim fašističnim režimom, a se je na koncu spokoril. Mašo zadušnico je Pred tremi leti zanj (Blaževiča) opravil cel° kardinal Franjo Kuharič in tako simbolično spral večji del političnih grehov v zvezi s svojim vzornikom, kardina-lom Alojzijem Stepincem.”
Podobno poročilo o obisku papeža na Hrvaškem in nameravani razglasitvi je izšlo v najnovejši Družini, pisec Franci etrič pa je dodal: “Ob tej novici smo Se pozanimali tudi o stanju postopkov s ovenskih kandidatov za blažene, a ni nobenega napredka.”
Svoj tridnevni obisk na Hrvaškem bo papež zaključil v Splitu, kjer bo sodeloval s sv. mašo na proslavi 1700-letnice dalmatinske prestolnice.

Drobnič” - Zmago Jelinčič zahteva njegovo predčasno razrešitev
Sporna osebnost za poslance in sploh za levičarsko usmerjene v Sloveniji je že od svojega imenovanja pred leti generalni državni tožilec Anton Drobnič, ki je bil med drugo svetovno vojno domobranec. Čeprav bo Drobnič ob koncu tega leta svoj mandat zaključil, nekateri poslanci zahtevajo njegov takojšen odstop oz. razrešitev. Duhove na levi strani političnega prizorišča je Drobnič razburil z izjavo v zvezi z uradnim praznovanjem 27. aprila za “dan boja proti okupatorju”. V izjavi je bil Drobnič zelo kritičen do tega praznika” oz. njegovega praznovanja, češ da gre v resnici za uradno praznovanje in priznanje komunistične revolucije in vsega, kar je z njo povezano. V reakciji na to se je dvignil poslanec Zmago Jelinčič, ki si prizadeva za razrešitev Drobniča, kritični so bili do državnega tožilca številni drugi. Tako je Združena lista izjavila, da je s svojo izjavo Drobnič žalil državni praznik in čustva mnogih državljanov, mnogi teh pa dvomijo, ali je Drobnič sploh zmožen nepristransko opravljati svoje uradne dolžnosti. Parlamentarna razprava o zadevi poteka ta teden.
Tečaj tolarja: Po včerajšnji tečajnici Banke Slovenije: 1 US dolar = 167 SIT, kanadski dolar jih je pa vreden 114,86.
zadnjem času so se pojavila zaostrovanja znotraj vladajoče koalicije, ki J11 skušajo prebroditi, med drugim tudi s sestankom državnozborskih poslancev koalicijskih strank minuli teden, ki pa na najlepše uspel. V fotu je sredini premier dr. Janez Drnošek, na levi predsednik državnega zbora nez Podobnik iz vrst SLS (strankin predsednik in njegov brat se sestan-ni udeležil), v ospredju je pa Franc Zagožen, tudi iz vrst SLS, ki je ^arjana Podobnika nadomeščal. Koalicijske stranke (LDS, SLS, DeSUS) so ta teden soglašale, da ne bodo podprle ustavne obtožbe zoper predse-. vlade Drnovška, ki ga je bila vložila opozicijska SDS. V torek je sk ^ ^ zaprta skupna seja strankinega izvršilnega odbora in poslanske P'ne, po njej je pa Marjan Podobnik dejal, da “doslej znani podatki ne jjLs*6^11'^0 ustavne obtožbe”.

Temna stran meseca
PERRY, O. - V Ljubljani pripravljajo razstavo pod gornjim naslovom. Prikazala naj bi najznačilnejše elemente življenja slovenskih skupnosti po svetu, se pravi življenja, ki je večini Slovencev v domovini prav toliko poznano kot - temna stran meseca.
Pobudo za to razstavo naj bi dal pisatelj Drago Jančar, ta, čigar dela vse bolj zadobivajo značaj neke slovenske “vesti”, čeprav se človeku včasih zdi, da gre prej za “glas vpijočega v puščavi”.
Na mesec pa gledamo ljudje z vseh strani sveta, torej tudi s strani, na katerih živi slovenska politična emigracija. Tudi zanjo ima ta mesec svojo “temno stran”. Če pomislimo na dogodke zadnjih let, se nam sploh zazdi, da je Slovenija za nas, ki živimo zunaj nje, res nekakšen “mesec”, ki se sicer redno prikazuje na našem nebu, ki nam celo sveti in nam vzbuja melanholične, romantične misli, ki pa nas ne more ogreti, ker je podvržen menam in se v določenih .trenutkih skrije našim očem, drugič spet se v njegovem siju vzbudijo tragični spomini.
Letošnjo jesen bo minilo 55 let od tistih usodnih, odločilnih dogodkov na slovenskih tleh, ko sta pod navalom komunističnih partizanov, okrepljenih z italijanskim orožjem, padli dve postojanki slovenskega narodnega odpora: Grčarice in Turjak. V tistih dneh je bila tudi potegnjena črta, onstran katere so bili vsi kasnejši dogodki prav za prav irelevantni za končni
Septembra 1943 je namreč komunistična Osvobodilna fronta udejanila tisto kritično načelo, ki ga njeni današnji podaljški še vedno vzdržujejo in to uspešno vzdržujejo: namreč, da je bil vsak odpor komunističnemu terorju po naravi zločinski in kot tak kazniv s smrtjo. Še danes se v razgovorih z mnogimi slovenskimi ljudmi jasno čuti to načelo: odpor komunistični Osvobodilni fronti je bil zločinski. Drugače povedano: sveta dolžnost vseh Slovencev, ki so odklanjali komunistično filozofijo, je bila, da dovolijo nosilcem te ideje, da jih pokončajo, ker so podvomili v to idejo.
Pri tem ne igra nobene vloge dejstvo, da se je ta ideja sama po štirih desetletjih zrušila od lastne nemoči; ne od delovanja politične emigracije (enega ali drugega naroda), ne od pritiska zahodnih demokracij, čeprav je igral važno vlogo, temveč enostavno zato, ker je bilo to “cesarstvo” zgrajeno na krvi nedolžnih ljudi, katerih edini greh je bil v tem, da so branili svoja življenja in SVOJ NAČIN življenja.
Še temnejša je ugotovitev, da to načelo vzdržujejo ljudje, ki se istočasno v polni meri okoriščajo z ugodnostmi, ki jim jih je prinesel padec njihove prvotne, zanesenjaške ideje o svetovni revoluciji in o solidarnosti “proletarcev vseh narodov”.
Slovenski narod še posebej, se je ob padcu svetovnega komunizma otresel tudi cele vrste klasičnih narodnih pritožb, istočasno pa ne vidi, da ga isti ljudje, ki so te pritožbe upravičevali.

O koncertu pevskega zbora KOROTAN
Kot vsako leto je pevski zbor Korotan tudi letos podal svojemu zvestemu občinstvu svoj pomladanski koncert, tokrat v dvorani Slovenskega narodnega doma na St. Clair aveniji v Clevelandu. Pesmi, ki so v soboto, 16. maja, zazvenele v razsežnem prostoru slovenskega doma, so napolnila naša srca kakor že poznana ljubezen, razkošna v bogastvu melodije in besede, čustvena in prijetno domača.
Petje je bilo in še vedno je del našega, slovenskega življa. Zbrani v družbi Slovenci veselo zapojemo. Povezani v zbor pojemo z dušo in srcem, v harmoniji in s prizadevanjem za ohranitev tradicije našega pevskega izročila. S pesmijo priznavamo, da smo narod pevcev. V zborovskem združenju pokažemo na svoje sožitje in pripravljenost u-sklajanja. Takšen je bil tudi letošnji koncert Korotana.
Pod vodstvom svojega dirigenta g. Rudija Kneza, je zbor kljub zmanjšanemu številu članov, sedaj že pomešanemu z drugim in tretjim rodom, zapel s prepričanjem in veseljem. Nove in že poznane pesmi so vesele in otožne nosile v sebi neko vdanost, spomine in spoznanja. Vendar niso, se mi zdi, vzbujale nekdanjega domotožja.
V petinštiridesetih letih svojega obstoja jej pevski zbor Korotan prestopil tisto pot spominov in spominjanja, ki so nam v preteklih letih ob njegovih koncertih rosili oči, in prešel v bolj čisto podajanje glasov, v pesem, ki je pomembna zaradi glasbe in melodije in v spoštovanju narodnega izročila.
Vzrok za to nesentimen-talnost ni v petju in podajanju, temveč bolj verjetno v nas samih, v članih zbora in poslušalcih, ki smo si v teh letih izven rodne zemlje v novi domovini ustvarili ne samo nove domove in družine, temvež tudi svojo novo skupnost, povezanost, ki se zanaša na tukaj in ta kraj, na lastno medsebojno pomoč, in na razsežnost notranjega bogastva. V novih
rodovih slovenske družine v Clevelandu je pomen te samostojnosti v sprejemanju in razumevanju in odprtosti, pa tudi v zavednosti našega izročila.
Na pestrem programu so se zvrstile pesmi kot Matije Tomca Pomlad, Ignacija Hladnika Na zeleni gori, in Laharnarjevi Zakaj želiš cvetlica nežna in Mladosti ni -zadnja, ki se je moja teta spominja iz svoje mladosti, je bila za večino poslušalcev neznana, - narodne in krajevne, belokranjska Lep je vrtec, Luka Kramolca Liepa ura, sonce sije iz Mežiške doline, in Rože je na vrtu plela.
Poznani solisti Martina' Jakomin, Zdenka Zakrajšek in Nejči Slak so s svojimi glasovi prijetno podali svoje vloge. Mimi Kozina, Nada Gregorc in Muši Coffelt so zapele s čistimi, nežnimi glasovi, ki bi nekoliko bolj poživljeni lahko zajeli tisto globino in širino pesmi, ki živijo v naših narodnih pesmih in kot jih še vedno nosimo v srcih.
Oktet, ki je bil iz članov zbora sestavljen lansko leto, je zapel Ignacija Hladnika Na zeleni gori. Prijetno presenečenje je . bila izvedba ruske narodne, Rdeči safran, ki je tu pa tam, posebno v zvokih tenorjev, zajel poznano kadenco ruskih pesmi.
Letos je pevski zbor Korotan na svojo predstavo povabil Mladinski pevski zbor Marije Vnebovzete pod vodstvom Janeza Nemca. Mladi pevci so s čistimi in za mlada grla dostojnimi glasovi, zapeli tri pesmi in navdušili občinstvo. Celo zahtevno Prleško gostuvanje
Koncert Slovenske godbe na pihala
CLEVELAND, O. - V nedeljo zvečer, 31. maja, ob 6. uri, bo nadvse prijetno v Slovenskem domu na Holmes Avenue, kajti takrat bodo zaigrali glasbeniki godbe na pihala fare Marije Vnebovzete svojo prvo točko sporeda in to pod vodstvom dirigenta Janeza Nemca. Godba, ki je že v svojem drugem letu delovanja, še vedno rabi nove glasbenike, da bi povečali število članov. Vabimo vse slovenske glasbenike, mlade in starejše, da pristopijo k tej zelo potrebni slovenski kulturni organizaciji. Igranje glasbenega inštrumenta pospešuje možgansko delovanje, zato na primer na Japonskem navdušujejo mladino, da sodeluje na polju glasbe v dobi obiskovanja srednje šole. Ugotovili so namreč, da se dijaki, ki sodelujejo na glasbenem polju, veliko hitreje izvežbajo v delu na računalnikih. Torej, starši, podpirajte mlade, ki bi se radi posvetili tudi glasbi, saj bodo lahko sodelovali pri šolskih orkestrih in s časom pristopili k slovenski pihalni godbi. V nedeljo, 31. maja, jih pripeljite na koncert.
D.M.
je bilo razen ob zadnjih notah podano z ubranostjo i® močjo, ki je pokazalo navdušenje tako pevcev kakor tudi dirigenta. S svojim nastopom so dokazali, da slovenska pesem, ki nas povezuje in navdihuje, tudi v naslednjih rodovih v Ameriki ne bo izumrla.
S pesmijo Ave Marija, ki sta je po W. Geiger priredila O. Pestner in D. He-ring, se je Korotan poklonil spominu svojih dolgoletnih in letošnje leto umrlih članov, Jožeta Likozarja, Marije Sekne in Viktorja Kmetiča. Njihov odhod je v kratki dobi nekaj mesecev zredčil ne samo vrste zbora, temveč skrčil tudi našo skupnost, slovensko družino v Clevelandu. V zboru j6 zmanjšal moč glasov, ki j° bodo nadomestili lahko samo številni novi člani. Met) nami je ustvaril praznino, k* ne bo nikdar napolnjena.
Občinstvo in Korotanci s0 prijetno presenečeni pozdravili ustanovitelja in prveg3 pevovodja zbora, dr. Metoda Milača, ki je obiskal Cleveland in se pridružil poslušalcem koncerta.
Vloga pevskega zbor3 Korotan je neizmerljiv3' Preko dolgih let našega njegovega življenja v Clev6' landu nam s pesmijo vese in bodri srca. Ob žalosti v naših prsih prižiga svec3 spominov.

ZGODOVINA NAŠE SVETOŠTEFANSKE FARE
Lrtd 1890 je živelo približno 60 družin v severnih prede-Hh Chicaga okrog cerkve Sv. Bonifacija in v južnih predelih okrog cerkve sv. Prokopija. Leta 1897 je prišel mednje novo-Posvečeni duhovnik JOHN PLEVNIK in jim pomagal ustano-župnijo. Poimenovali so jo po sv. Štefanu, kot se je imenovalo društvo KSKJ št. 1, kateremu so mnogi ustanovitveni člani župnije pripadali. Župnija je bila uradno ustanovljena 2-januarja 1898.
Leta 1903 je g. Plevnik °dšel v Waukegan, 111., kjer d vUstanoviI župnije Marije, °žje Matere. Njegovo me-St° Pri sv. Štefanu je prev-Ze* duhovnik John Kranjec, j* Je ostal le štiri mesece.

Pavle Borštnik
Slovenske družine je spodbujal, da bi se preselile v okolico cerkve.
5. julija 1907 je nadškof Quigley izdal dovoljenje, da se cerkev dokonča. 4. aprila 1909 so bili blagoslovljeni trije zvonovi in nameščeni v zvonik, 10. oktobra pa je nadškof Quigley blagoslovil dograjeno cerkev. Kletne prostore, ki so do tedaj služili za cerkveni prostor, so spremenili v župnijsko dvorano, leta 1917 pa postavili novo župnišče.
Takoj po božiču 1918 se je bil župnik Sojar zaradi težav z zdravjem prisiljen odpovedati župniji. Nadškof, poznejši kardinal Mundelein, je ponudil župnijo Slovenskim frančiškanom. 19. januarja 1919 je prišel p. Kazimir Zakrajšek kot novi župnik.
Poznan kot izdajatelj, urednik in ljudski misijonar je p. Kazimir pripeljal s seboj tudi tiskarno. V župniji je začel z ustanavljanjem novih župnijskih organizacij in preorganizacijo obstoječih. Čutil je potrebo po šoli in postavil to kot prednostno nalogo.
Septembra 1919 je najel prostore v šoli pri sv. Pavlu za otroke iz župnije, 3. maja 1922 pa so pričeli z zemeljskimi deli za gradnjo nove šole. Temeljni kamen so položili 4. julija, 24. septembra pa odprli pritlične prostore nove šole. 8. novembra se je sem preselilo 276 otrok skupaj s sestrami Sv. Frančiška Kristusa Kralja kot učiteljicami. Sestre so delovale v šoli do njenega zaprtja v juniju 1996. Poleti 1924 so šoli dodali prvo nadstropje z novimi učilnicami in veliko župnijsko dvorano.
Ker je p. Kazimir Zakrajšek postal leta 1927 komisar, je postal župnik p. An-zelm Murn. Ob začetku gospodarske krize leta 1929 piše v oznanila: “Pogum!”
P. Aleksander Urankar je postal župnik leta 1930. Pomagal je pri ustanovitvi Vincencijeve družbe v pomoč potrebnim in razdeljeval hrano otrokom. Vzpodbujal je socialno dejavnost, da bi obdržal moralo med ljudmi, možje pa so postavljali stavbo za otroški vrtec.
Ko je postal p. Aleksander gvardijan v Lemontu, je imela župnija 670 družin in 300 posameznikov, poleg tega pa še 180 družin, ki niso živele v okolici cerkve. Nov župnik je postal p. Ed-
vard Gabrenya.
Prišla so leta druge svetovne vojne. Skoraj vsi mladi možje in nekaj žena je bilo pri vojakih. Ljudje so molili zanje, kakor tudi za njihove sorodnike v Evropi. Pri mašah je bila cerkev polna, kakor tudi ob devet-dnevnicah k sv. Antonu in k Žalostni Materi Božji. Župnijski kaplan p. Lenart Bogolin je postal vojaški kaplan in bil poslan v Evropo. Pet mladih mož je v vojni izgubilo življenje.
Do leta 1946 se je veliko tistih, ki so bili v vojni, že vrnilo. P. Edvard je šel za župnika v Detroit, pri sv. Štefanu pa je posal župnik p. Lenart, ki se je vrnil. Veliko parov se je poročilo, župnija je spet zaživela in kulturno in družabno življenje je cvetelo.
Župnija je pod vodstvom p. Lenarta kupila prazne parcele ob metodistični episkopalni cerkvi na drugi strani ulice in tam so zgradili telovadnico ter dvorano. Dvorano v šoli so spremenili v učilnice in knjižnico. To se je dogajalo v letih 1951/52. Leta 1953 so kupili metodistično episkopalno cerkev za 30.250 dolarjev in spremenili kletne prostore v kotalkališče.
V tem času se je poživilo tudi slovensko življenje v župniji, saj je v Ameriko in v župnijo začelo prihajati veliko beguncev iz Jugoslavije. Slovenska katoliška liga je pomagala tem, ki so prihajali. Poživili so slovensko kulturno in družabno življenje z dramskimi igrami, koncerti in drugimi prireditvami. Veliko se jih je pridružilo pevskemu zboru in nekateri še vedno prepevajo v zboru.
Leta 1955 se je vrnil p. Aleksander kot župnik. Dal je pobudo za ustanovitev slovenske sobotne šole za otroke novih priseljencev. Toda pojavila so se trenja med starimi priseljenci in njihovimi otroki ter novimi priseljenci, ki so bila posledica različnih kulturnih pogledov in stopnje izobrazbe. P. Aleksander ni znal in zmogel ustrezno odgovoriti na potrebe obojih.
P. Aleksander je 9. februarja 1958 umrl za boleznijo na možganih. Nov župnik je postal p. Tomaž
PRVI TAK PRIMER
Obravnava proti nekdanjemu pripadniku VOS
Pred okrožnim sodiščem v Novi Gorici se je v torek, 5. maja, začela sodna obravnava proti nekdanjemu pripadniku Varnostno obveščevalne službe (VOS), 74-letnemu Vinku Kosovelu iz Šempetra pri Novi Gorici. Okrožna državna tožilka ga obtožuje vojnega hudodelstva zoper civilno prebivalstvo in medvojnih pobojev na Primorskem. Gre za prvo tovrstno obravnavo v Sloveniji.
Obtožnica Vinka Kosovela bremeni, da je kot komandir čete Vos za Idrijsko ukazal poboj treh civilistov, in sicer decembra 1943 in januarja leta 1944 dveh moških v Vipavski dolini in na Cerkljanskem in ženske na Predmeji nad Ajdovščino. Poboj so izvedli po zverinskem mučenju in brez kakršnekoli sodbe.
Obtoženi je vse navedbe zanikal. Dejal je, da pri nobenem od ubojev ni sodeloval oz. ni bil niti zraven. Četa pripadnikov Vos, ki jo je vodil, naj bi izvajala le aretacije, ne pa tudi likvidacije.
Na obravnavi sta navzoča tudi sorodnika dveh zverinsko pobitih civilistov, ki sta več kot deset let po raznih državnih in drugih arhivih zbirala dokumente, ki naj bi obtoženega bremenili najhujšega vojnega hudodelstva, poboja civilistov. Pred zaslišanjem nista hotela dajati izjav. Vinka Kosovela je kot domnevnega storilca vojnega hudodelstva prijavil Anton Kosovel, tudi nekdanji borec NOV, sicer pa nečak ubitega Stanislava Cigoja. M.
Novi Glas, Trst/Gorica, 7. maja 1998
Hoge, dolg župnije pa je znašal 59 tisoč dolarjev.
P. Tomaž se je poglobil v položaj v župniji in uvedel nov način nabiranja denarja po pošti. Leta 1961 so podrli staro metodistično episkopalno cerkev in pripadajoče stavbe. Del prostora so spremenili v parkirišče, septembra pa so dokončali tudi kotalkališče. Leta 1962 je bilo ustanovljeno društvo bivših učencev šole pri sv. Štefanu. Istega leta so obnovili prezbiterij cerkve in prenovili prostore pod cerkvijo. Leta 1973 je kardinal Cody vodil praznovanje diamantnega jubileja župnije.
P. Tomaž je vodil župnijo najdlje od vseh župnikov pri sv. Štefanu. Odšel je leta 1977, ko je bil star 70 let in mnoge, če ne vse, je njegov odhod težko prizadel, saj je znal delati z vsemi skupinami v župniji. Nasledil ga je p. Klavdij O-korn, a je že 11. julija umrl od srčnega napada. Eno leto je župnijo vodil upravitelj, leta 1980 pa je prišel za župnika p. Vende-lin Špendov.
P. Vendelin je že prej živel v župniji, tudi kot župnijski kaplan, dokler ni odšel v Rim na študij za doktorat iz glasbe. Skozi leta je ustanovil in vodil veliko pevskih skupin in zborov v župniji in v župnijski šoli. Nekatere skupine

so preživele tudi v času njegove odsotnosti. Očistil je notranjost cerkve in predelal župnišče, predvsem prvo nadstropje, kjer so stanovanja. Zbor Slovenska pesem in Mladinski orkester, ki sta združevala pevce iz večih župnij, sta imela veliko koncertov v dvorani pri sv. Štefanu, kot tudi na drugih mestih.
Leta 1986 je bil p. Vendelin imenovan za gvardija-na v Lemontu in k sv. Štefanu je prišel za župnika p. Tadej Trpin. Rak, ki je do tedaj miroval, ga je spet napadel in tri leta, kolikor jih je p. Tadej preživel pri sv. Štefanu, so minila v znamenju slabšanja njegovega zdravja. Svoje obveznosti kot župnik je hotel izpolnjevati do konca, ko je leta 1989 za rakom umrl.
Že v času p. Vendelina se je kazalo stalno upadanje števila faranov in števila o-trok v župnijski šoli. Nekateri so takoj začeli opozarjati na te znake. Knjigovodja je na podlagi denarnega stanja napovedoval težave v prihodnosti.
P. Tadeja je kot župnik nasledil p. Blaž Chemazar. V devetih letih njegovega župnikovanja so farani in starši šolskih otrok vložili veliko napora, da bi zmogli finančna bremena. Organizirali so župnijska dobrodelna kosila, poletno ulično zabavo in druge prireditve, s katerimi so finančno pomagali župniji.

Konferenca Ameriškega Slovenskega Kongresa o slovenski manjšini v mejah Italije
RESOLUCIJA
Sledi tekst resolucije v angleškem jeziku, ki je bila sprejeta ob zaključku konference Ameriškega slovenskega kongresa o slovenski manjšini v mejah Italije. Resolucija je bila poslana parlamentu in vladi Italije:
“The American Slovene Congress announces that at the conclusion of the Conference on the Problems of the Slovene Minority within the Boundaries of the Italian State, held at Columbia University in the City of New York on May 16, 1998, it has decided to initiate an action to solicit the Italian Parliament and the Government of the Republic of Italy to legislate and enforce a comprehensive protection of the Slovene minority and to guarantee the elimination of discrimination between Italian citizens of Slovene and Italian ethnicity. ”
New York, NY, 16. maja 1998. Danes se je v veliki konferenčni dvorani Šole za mednarodne in javne zadeve Kolumbijske univerze v New Yorku vršila celodnevna konferenca Ameriškega slovenskega kongresa (ASK) na temo The Problems of the Slovene Minority within the Boundaries of the Italian State (Problemi slovenske manjšine v mejah današnje italijanske države).
Na sporedu konference so bila štiri predavanja znanstvenikov za slovenska manjšinska vprašanja iz Republike Slovenije in Italije: časnikarja Giorgija Bankiča, glavnega urednika beneško-slovenskega štirinajstdnevnika Dom (Čividale-Čedad v Furlaniji); dr. Janka Jerya, znanstvenika, dolgoletnega sotrudnika Inštituta za narodnostna vprašanja v Ljubljani; zgodovinarja dr. Sama Pahorja, profesorja Tržaške univerze in avtorja vrste znanstvenih publikacij o slovenskih manjšinskih problemih na Slovenskem Tržaškem; in g. Iva Jevnikarja, časnikarja in publicista na radio postaji Trst-Trieste A - slovenskega oddelka RTI.
Celodnevno konferenco je vodil dr. Silvester Lango, predsednik ASK-a, ki je tudi prebral pozdrave Kanadskega Slovenskega Kongresa (KSK), sporočene od predsednika dr. Franceta Habja-
na. V imenu Svetovnega slovenskega kongresa je pozdravil konferenco dr. Jože Bernik, v imenu Inštituta za Vzhodno-centralno evropske študije Kolumbijske univerze pa dr. John Micgiel, direktor tega inštituta.
Zaključni komentar s pojasnili in pripombami k posameznim referatom je ob koncu konference podal dr. I. Hilary Rolih - s tekstom v angleščini resolucije, naslovljene italijanskemu parlamentu in vladi, da čim prej uzakoni in uveljavi vsestransko zaščito slovenske manjšine v mejah italijanske države in zajamči odpravo diskriminacije med italijanskimi državljani slovenske in italijanske narodnosti, kar naj bi spodbudilo mednarodno zanimanje za vse predol-
go zavlačevanje reševanja problema internacionalizacije slovenskega manjšinskega vprašanja v Italiji. R.L.L.
Zgodovina...
(nadaljevanje s str. 19)
Ko so se leta 1995 razširile govorice, da šola sv. Štefana zapira svoja vrata, je število učencev močno padlo. Napovedi so kazale, da se bodo župnijski fondi za plače učiteljicam izčrpali še pred koncem šolskega leta. Nadškofija je dala enkratno dotacijo za plače učiteljem, šola pa je zaprla svoja vrata v juniju 1996.
Veliko faranov, še posebej mladih družin, se je preselilo v predmestja in z njimi tudi nekaj njihovih staršev. To velja tako za Amerikance, kot tudi za Slovence, to je povojne priseljence. Od odprtja Slovenskega verskega središča v Lemontu so se mnogi lahko udeleževali bogoslužja tam.
. Ko je bila zaprta župnijska šola, je p. Blaž sporočil svojo odločitev, da se bo junija 1998, ko dopolni 70 let, upokojil kot župnik. Ker slovenski frančiškani ne morejo poskrbeti za naslednika, bo to pomenilo, da frančiškani zapuščajo sv. Štefana.
Župnija bo praznovala stoletnico ustanovitve 7. junija 1998. Prihodnost župnije je sedaj povezana s pogovori med nadškofijo in jezuiti, ki imajo v najemu šolske prostore in nekatere druge župnijske stavbe in imajo v njih jezuitsko srednjo šolo Kristusa Kralja.

“NEMCI” NA SLOVENSKEM
Tudi zgodovinarji znajo postavljati narekovaje
Ob predstavitvah zbornika o neki narodnostni skupnosti - Poudarek na prvem povojnem času
Ljubljana, 10. maja - Konec tedna je doživela dve predstavitvi, v dveh državah, obsežna študija “Nemci’’ na Slovenskem 1941—1955.
Zbornik ima 343 strani in je izšel v Razpravah Filozofske fakultete, je delo sedmih avtorjev. Poleg urednika in vodje projekta Dušana Nečaka so to še Janez Cvirn, Tone Ferenc, Božo Repe, Jože Prinčič, Mitja Ferenc in Gerhard See-wann. Z združenimi močmi, nekateri po dolgih letih raziskovanja, drugi pred nedavnim vključeni, so ustvarili celovit in natančen pregled tega, kar je bilo dolgo “slovenska tabu tema”, nato pa se je čez noč spremenilo v “bilateralen vročo temo”.
Da sta bili predstavitvi dve na isti dan, v dveh državah, je sad naključja. Knjiga je v Ljubljani doživela običajno tiskovno konferenco, kot je v navadi. (V družbi slavističnega zbornika in arheološkega poročila o raziskovanju paleolitike in neolitike, kar je ostalo v senci.)
Potem so se avtorji preselili v Tinje, severno od Karavank, kjer je bilo srečanje, posvečeno stičišču več narodov, predvsem pa tistim, ki so bili označeni kot “državljani Republike Slovenije z nemščino kot materinščino”, tako včeraj kot danes.
Iz naslova srečanja v Tinjah je mogoče zaslutiti, zakaj ima zbornik zgodovinarjev Nemce v narekovajih: ker je to še najpreprostejša rešitev. Ponuja se (in pogosto rabi) še več drugih, a ta je še najbolj povedna. Avstrijcem verjetno ni všeč. Tja do leta 1955 so bili “Nemci” nemški, predmet pogovorov med Jugoslavijo in Zvezno republiko Nemčijo. V zadnjem času so predmet pogovorov, morda predvsem napetosti, med Avstrijo in Slovenijo. Vmes so bili za Slovence neobstoječi ali tabu, za Avstrijce pa raziskovana, boleča, a bolj kot ne marginalna tema.
Da je predstavljanje potekalo v mešanici dražljivo/zoprne napetosti, je morda naključno ali pa tudi ne. Vsekakor je med avtorje istega dne planila vest, da je eden od njih “osumljen genocida” zoper te, ki jih raziskuje. Predsednik Mosta svobode je namreč ovadil Toneta Ferenca, v družbi z Mitjo Ribičičem, zaradi uničevanja nemške narodnostne skupnosti.
Hkrati je bila malo dlje na severu objavljena vest,
da je avstrijsko ministrstvo prepovedalo udeležbo v Tinjah predstavnikom slovenskih “Nemcev”, ker je urednik knjige o njih izjavil, da bo knjigo predstavil sam, s soavtorji, ne pa v družbi s Štefanom Karnerjem, ki je malo prej objavil in predstavil svojo knjigo o isti temi. Da nekateri vihajo nos nad to knjigo in da je bilo malo prej objavljeno, kako si je Karner za eno svojih starejših del iskal podpore pri Albertu Speeru, pomembnem opornem stebru Hitlerjevega režima, ni brez zveze z naraščanjem napetosti.
K stvarem samim. Zbornik o “Nemcih” je rezultat raziskovanj, ki imajo domicil na oddelku za zgodovino Filozofske fakultete. Čeravno v naslovu poudarja dobo med 1941 in 1955, se začenja sto let prej. Prof. Janez Cvirn namreč naredi temelj s pregledom dogajanja med 1848 in 1941 in tudi zgodovinopisja, ki se je ukvarjalo s to temo samo. Potem j6 na vrsti Tone Ferenc z Nemci, še vedno brez narekovajev, med drugo svetovno vojno, se pravi do maja 1945, ko v zgodovini nastopa “nulta točka”.
Odtlej gre za isto zgodbo, to je za povojno usodo, ki so jo avtorji razdelijo P° gradivu. Božo Repe jo razgrne skozi optiko slovenski in jugoslovanskih virov, Du šan Nečak skozi nemške l{l avstrijske vire in Gerhar Seewann iz Munchna, (e . ni, ki je objavljen v orig1 nalu in prevodu) pa skoZ* angleške.	,
Jože Prinčič je raziš* ^ podržavljenje nemške in)0 ne, Mitja Ferenc pa njU1^. vse bolj medli portret sk podatke v popisih prebM* stva. Po besedah uredm “Za največji del sloven5 publike bodo naša dognaI1 zagotovo novost.”	6
Med debato v Tinjah^ je večkrat zaiskrilo od ^ rih, slabo zakrinkanih zaIt,0j in malicioznosti. Pa tudi duhovitosti. Janez Cvirn

Pomlad v Torontu.
Velikonočni zvonovi so odzvonili... Po nekaj suhih aprilskih tednih, je v maju zacvetela vsa narava. Dež je osvežil zemljo, da novo živ-'jenje brsti vsepovsod. Po vrtovih in parkih poslušamo v sončnih dneh ptičje kon-Certe... Pomladno drevje, o-ddo s cvetjem in novim ze-enjem, je kot ogromen šo-Pek za nebeškega Vrtnarja.

,^a Cvetno soboto, 4. a-Pf*[a, je čez 600 ljudi po-^ušalo ta jubilejni koncert. P'eg znanih pesmi je pevo-vodja Nace Križman s pevci ^študiral še mnogo pesmi,

Cvetna nedelja je vsako leto pri nas v znamenju butaric. Pri obeh župnijah članice Katoliške ženske lige oz. KZL povežejo stotine butaric, ki jih po blagoslovu ponesemo na domove in hranimo za hišni blagoslov. Denar od prodanih butaric se porabi za mnoge dobrodelne namene, ki jih podpira KZL. Z butaricami osrečijo vsako leto še stanovalce v Domu Lipa.
Na Veliko soboto popoldne nosimo “k žegnu” velikonočne dobrote. V pravi slovenski družini ni Velike noči brez butaric in žegna. Po obisku v cerkvi na Sve-todnevje spoznamo, da je v Torontu in drugod po Ameriki še mnogo zdravih slovenskih družin. Sveti velikonočni čas kliče verne in manj verne k pokori in dobrim delom, k prelepemu bogoslužju, ki skozi dvatisoč let spominja človeka, da je Kristus za nas živel, trpel, umrl in tretji dan od mrtvih vstal, da bi tudi mi z Njim vstali v novo življenje. Velika noč, največji praznik krščanstva ... Za sobotno vigilijo, večerno, družinsko mašo je cerkev polna, včasih z mladimskimi prizori, vedno pa po skrivnostno le-

Walkathon -	24. maja
bomo iz Slovenskega letovišča šli na krajši ali daljši sprehod v pomoč starostnemu domu Lipa. Vsako leto se starejši in mlajši žrtvujejo za ta pohod in zbirajo pomoč pri svojih sponzorjih.
Letos poteka 25 let od prvih začetkov, ko so Marijine sestre začele zbirati denar za gradnjo doma starejšim Slovencem. Leta 1973 so odprle bančni račun za gradbeni sklad, priredile banket, piknik, bazar, s pomočjo članic KŽL in skavtov prodajale Osanove plošče, rože, sveče, krofe in druge stvari. Prihajali so redni darovi upokojencev, članic KZL obeh župnij in drugih dobrotnikov.
Želele so urediti lastništvo doma. Poklicale so svojo predstojnico iz Slovenije. S pomočjo č.g. Kopača so za 2. marec 1975 sklicale občni zbor, kjer je bil izglasovan predlog, naj bo dom last Slovencev. Novoizvoljeni odbor je takoj nadaljeval začeto delo.
16. maja 1976 so sestre izročile ves nabrani denar odboru Doma Lipa. Njihova Čudodelna svetinja je zazidana v temeljnem kamnu današnjega Doma Lipa in bo tam ostala za vedno.
To poročilo je za letošnji občni zbor Doma Lipa pripravil dolgoletni odbornik in predsednik Pripravljalnega odbora Albin Blatnik. (Izvleček!) Danes je dom polno zaseden in ni prostora za vse čakajoče. Gradbeno dovoljenje nam omogoča gradnjo nadaljnjih 30 sob, za katere pa je treba precej denarja. Ker je Dom Lipa vzor torontskim ustanovam na tem socialnem področju, upamo na pomoč provincialne vlade.
Materinski dan - Nedelja,
10.	maja. Na željo mnogih obiskovalcev Slov. letovišča se je k nedeljskemu kosilu po sv. maši zbralo čez 150 ljudi. Pomladna pokrajina je tako prijazno vabila, da nismo ostali v mestu temveč odšli k Baragovemu domu na prvo srečanje na letovišču.

39. Slovenski dan v Kanadi
Srečanje s kardinalom Dr. A. Ambrožičem
Toronto, Ont. - 39. Slovenski dan, ki se bo vršil 5. julija 1998 na slovenskem cerkvenem letovišču blizu Bolto-na, kakih 40 km seveozahodno od Toronta, bo edinstvena slovenska slovesnost.
Ob tej priliki bomo lahko osebno pozdravili slovenskega kardinala in popoldne med kulturnim programom poslušali g. Edi Gobca, tega navdušenega Slovenskega Amerikanca, ki že leta neutrudljivo odkriva, kaj vse so ljudje slovenskega rodu v Severni Ameriki in kaj so naredili pozitivnega za vse človeštvo.
Ob 11. uri dopoldne bo sv. maša, katero bo daroval kardinal dr. Alojzij Ambrožič. Po maši bo prilika za srečanje z njim. Nato slavnostno kosilo v Baragovem domu, kjer bo prisotnih lepo število duhovnikov, slovenski ambasador v Kanadi, slovenske organizacije, gosti iz Clevelanda, Montreala, Ottawe in drugod.
Upoštevajoč, da je v dvorani prostora samo za 300 ljudi, prosimo vse, ki bi se radi udeležili kosila, naj na-roče vstopnice čim preje; cena na osebo je $20. To je poleg vstopnine na letovišče, ki bo $5 za odrasle. Otroci ne plačajo vstopnine. Vstopnice za slavnostno kosilo boste dobili pri odbornikih Slovenskega letovišča: tel. št. (905) 891-1680, ali (416) 531-2316, ali (416) 255-2721.
Popoldne ob 2. uri bo kulturni program z g. Gobcem kot glavnim govornikom, petjem, narodni plesi, recitacije in še kaj.
Po kulturnem programu bo slovenska veselica, na kateri bo igral Planinski kvintet iz Toronta.
Slovensko Kanadski Svet in Odbor za Cerkveno letovišče že trdo delata s pripravami in organizacijo.
Če bo lepo vreme, bo verjetno več tisoč gostov. Z malo sreče in božjega blagoslova bo to verjetno največja slovesnost, ki smo jo Slovenci videli v Kanadi. To bo zgodovinski dogodek in ga nobeden Slovenec ne sme zamuditi!	Odbor za 39. Slovenski dan
Peter Klopčič
K mnogim praznovanjem na Slovenskem letovišču se letos pridružuje še petdesetletnica prihoda povojnih slovenskih beguncev v Kanado.
16. julija, sredi visokega poletja, se bomo takratni mladi fantje in dekleta srečali pri Baragi in Brezjanski Mariji na tem kraju, ki nam predstavlja košček domače zemlje. Skupno z duhovniki, begunci, se bomo Bogu in Mariji zahvalili za življenje in vse, kar smo 50 let prejemali in ustvarjali v novi kanadski domovini.
Vabimo prijatelje, sopotnike z begunskih poti v letu 1945 na to posebno srečanje in spomin naše mladosti. Program bo sledeči: zjutraj ob 10. uri - zbiranje, ob 11. sv. maša pri Marijini kapeli, nato kosilo v Baragovem domu in prijateljsko popoldne v prosti naravi.
Rezervirajte četrtek, 16. julija, za srečanje na Slovenskem letovišču!

Breda Susič študira v Gorici diplomacijo. Njena razmišljanja o narodnostni problematiki ter multikulturnosti pri mladini so vredna, da jih spoznajo tudi koroški Slovenci. (Dodam, da jih lahko koristno spoznajo tudi tisti, ki se v izseljeništvu prizadevajo za ohranjanje slovenske dediščine. Ur. AD)
SLIKA -
Številka ena
Skupina višješolcev.
Sošolci - obiskujejo slovenski znanstveni licej.
Živijo v raznih vaseh na Krasu.
Večina jih je aktivnih v slovenskih športnih društvih ali v kakem vaškem kulturnem društvu.
Starši so večinoma Slovenci.
Preseneti me njihova izjava, da se ob sobotah zvečer najraje srečujejo kjerkoli na Krasu, v kakem pubu ali na “feštinu” pri kom doma, v mesto pa najraje ne hodijo; to pa zato, ker je Kras bolj domač, ker je slovenski, Trst pa je “umazan, italijanski, fašističen...”. Ugibam, da to ni mišljeno ravno dobesedno in da pride do takih izjav zaradi mladostniškega zanosa in ker so ti mladi slučajno vključeni v skupino, v kateri je moderno biti zaveden Slovenec.
Mislila sem, da takih skupin pri nas sploh ne moreš več srečati, pa sem ugotovila, da se motim. Sprašujem se, če in kakšno narodnostno vzgojo so ti mladi dobili doma, ter če je njihova zavednost prava vrednota ali rezultat čistega naključja.
Če jih vprašam, ali se počutijo Slovence ali Italijane, odgovorijo, da so seveda Slovenci. Vendar (poudarjeno) italijanski državljani. Njihova domovina je Trst, oziroma zamejstvo. S Slovenijo ne čutijo veliko skupnih točk.
SLIKA
Številka dva
Dva prijatelja.
Oba sta iz narodno mešane družine.
V domačem okolju uporabljata oba jezika, vendar rahlo, če že ne močno, prevladuje italijanščina.
Oba stanujeta v mestu.
Oba obiskujeta slovenski klasični licej.
Oba sta aktivna v raznih slovenskih kulturnih društvih v mestu.
Preseneti me to, da se vedno pogosteje med seboj pogovarjata v italijanščini. In to ne le kot sta sama, pač pa tudi ko sta v družbi z drugimi Slovenci. Zdi se mi, da sta se včasih med seboj vedno - ali skoraj -pogovarjala v slovenščini. Zakaj je zdaj drugače, ne vem točno. Ugibam, da sta prešla na italijanščino iz ko-modnosti, ker jima je lažje pogovarjati se v italijanščini.
Čeprav sta v grobih obrisih gotovo občutljiva do narodnostnega problema, si ne postavljata vprašanj, kam lahko pelje njuna izbira italijanščine za pogovorni jezik. Verjetno se niti zavedata ne, da je podobnih primerov med mladimi zelo veliko.
To so po mojem živi primeri asimilacije, čeprav če ona dva fanta vprašam, ali se počutita Slovenca ali Italijana, bosta po dolgem premisleku odgovorila, da se počutita Slovenca. Dodala pa bosta, da se po njunih družinah pretaka tudi italijanska kri in da sta na to
vizija
ponosna. Njuna domovina je Trst, zavedata pa se, da je njuna idealna domovina tudi Slovenija, čeprav ne moreta reči, da se v Sloveniji počutita doma.
SLIKA
Številka tri
Dve sestri.
Oče je Slovenec, mama pa Italijanka.
V družini prevladuje italijanščina.
Živita v vasi na Krasu, v pretežno slovenskem okolju.
Obiskujeta slovenski šoli - znanstveni licej in nižjo srednjo šolo.
Aktivno sta vključeni v slovenske organizacije, tako v vasi, kot v mestu.
Preseneti me to, da pravita, da ni važno, katere narodnosti je človek, da je sploh neumno, da se o tem razpravlja. Pravita, da bi Slovenci radi dokazali, da so Italijani slabi, Slovenci pa dobri ljudje in da je biti Italijan slabo, biti Slovenec pa dobro.
Enostavno se nočeta u-kvarjati z narodnostnim vprašanjem. Pa ne zaradi kake brezbrižnosti. Mislim, da ju zelo boli, da bi se morala odločati za eno ali drugo narodnost. Zdi se mi, da bi bili alergični na vse, kar je v zvezi z narodnostnim vprašanjem.
Ugibam, zakaj narodnostno vprašanje občutita tako bolestno. Morda kdo v slovenskem vaškem okolju ni hotel sprejeti njune mame zaradi njene narodnosti in sta dekleti to občutili kot hudo krivico?
Zaradi njunega odnosa do tega vprašanja, jih raje ne vprašam, če se počutita Slovenki ali Italijanki. Mislim, da se hočeta počutiti Slovenki in Italijanki v enaki meri in da se bosta vedno upirali, da bi v njiju prevladala ena ali druga narodnost. Njuna domovina seveda ni ne Slovenija, pa niti ne Italija, čeprav bosta poudarili, da sta italijanski državljanki. Njuna domovina je edinole Trst.

Študent.
Oba starša sta Slovenca.
Doma se pogovarjajo v slovenščini.
Živi v vasi, blizu mesta.
Aktivno je vključen v slovenske kulturne organizacije, tako v vasi, kot v mestu.
Ima več sorodnikov, ki so Italijani, in s katerimi je družina povezana.
Ima dekle, ki je Italijanka, čeprav ima slovenske korenine in je do določene mere občutljiva do problemov slovenske manjšine.
Preseneti me to, da je prepričan, da je narodnostna identiteta stvar izključno osebne izbire vsakega posameznika in da okolje, v katerem živi, na njegovo dozorevanje in izbiro ne vpliva. Kljub visoki humanistični izobrazbi ne razume, da je problem narodnostne identitete tudi družbeno vprašanje, ne pa samo vprašanje intimne psihološke izbire. V dveh besedah, pojma asimilacije ne pozna, kaj šele, da bi jo občutil kot nevarnost ali problem. To pa kljub temu, da veliko bere in da je vključen v kroge, v katerih je narodnost zelo pogosto na dnevnem redu poglobljenih pogovorov.

Takih slik poznamo nič-koliko. Nobena ni izmišljena. Te sem opisala, ker so se mi zdele nekoliko drugačne od tiste, ki jo v majhnih nijansah najpogosteje srečujemo. Na tej sliki so mladi, ki nimajo nobenega odnosa do narodnostnega vprašanja. Zato, ker so jih starši tako vzgojili, zato ker niso nikjer, ne v družini, ne v šoli, ne med prijatelji začutili, da je narodnost tudi vrednota.
Ta prispevek ni in noče biti kaka poglobljena raziskava o tem, kakšen odnos imamo mladi do narodnostnega vprašanja. Podrobno in poglobljeno analizo teh slik rade volje prepustim kakemu izkušenemu sociologu. Vsi štirje primeri se mi zdijo zanimivi in kažejo na zelo različne probleme, ki bi jih bilo vredno obdelati in se z njimi soočiti.
Kažejo na to, da je zelo težko poenostaviti problem odnosa mladih do manjšinskega in narodnostnega vprašanja. Te slike iz našega vsakdanjega konkretnega življenja pa sem opisala zato, da jih lahko vsakdo iz-
med nas uporabi za kratko osebno razmišljanje.
Čeprav so si primeri med seboj tako različni, me silijo k eni sami ugotovitvi: nihče naših mladih več ne vzgaja k narodni zavesti. Če te vzgoje slučajno ne dobijo doma, je nikjer ne bodo dobi-
li.	V šolah, društvih, Cerkvi, v medijih, povsod so sami vzgojitelji v hudi zadregi, ker ne vedo, kako naj se te vzgoje lotijo. Tako nihče mladih ne ozavešča, nihče ne ovrednoti njihove drugačnosti, nihče jim stvarno ne prikaže prednosti odločitve za slovenstvo.
Občutek imam, da se marsikdo boji, da ga bodo obtožili, da je nacionalist (z negativnim prizvokom), komaj se bo lotil tega ozave-ščanja. Vsi po vrsti bodo zatrjevali, da je problem zelo delikaten, da je treba paziti na otroke in na mlade, ki prihajajo iz narodnostno mešanih družin, da se ne sme ničesar vsiljevati. 1° ker je toliko nevarnosti ‘n tveganja, se še tisti redki vzgojitelji, ki občutijo pr0' blem, raje odpovejo narodnostni vzgoji, da se izognejo morebitnim težavam in sitnostim.
In kljub temu se da pr°' blem rešiti na enostave*1 način. Saj mladi ne potr6' bujejo pridigarjev, pač Pa živih pričevalcev. Mladim s6 bo v očeh prižgala iskra, k° bodo videli živega človeka-ki ga bodo cenili in občudovali, in ki si bo upal p° vedati, da je postal (boga tejši, psihološko in moral**0 močnejši) boljši človek, kar je v sebi razčistil, da J vredno biti Slovenec, da £a ta zavest ni odvrnila od 16 ga, da bi spoštoval vse dru ge narodnosti, pač Pa mu je, obratno, to pomaga lo, da je še bolj cenil SP® cifičnost vsake druge ku

Tretjina Slovencev živi v revščini
Brezposelnost povzroča socialne napetosti in povečuje revščino
MARJAN DROBEŽ
V Sloveniji se povečuje brezposelnost, ki postaja čedalje večji socialni, gospodarski in politični problem z mnogimi razsežnostmi.
Vsak dan ukinejo povprečno 40 delovnih mest, brezposeln pa je že vsak peti državljan iz skupine aktivne-|a prebivalstva. Zdaj je na Zavodih za zaposlovanje prijavljenih skoraj 130 tisoč rezposelnih, med katerimi j® °koli 44% starejših od 40 let, mlajših od 26 let pa Približno 27%. Stopnja brezposelnosti znaša že okrog >9 odstotka aktivnega prebivalstva.
Mnenja o vzrokih takega stanja so različna. V nekakih okoljih menijo, da vla-a nima programa za gozdarski razvoj države in 2at0 ne obvladuje trga delo-Vlle $ile, kar naj bi spodbu-Ja*° brezposelnost. Mnogi P°udarjajo, da bi Slovenija narodnim dohodkom, ki . ega okoli 10 tisoč dolar-lev na prebivalca, lahko zastavila polno zaposlenost livnega prebivalstva, s či-er bi tudi preprečevali ZŠČino.
Socialno razslojevanje je 0Seglo raven, ki nima pri-
mere v drugih državah na prehodu iz socialističnega sistema v demokratično družbo s tržnim gospodarstvom. V Sloveniji približno tretjina prebivalcev živi boljše kot v nekdanji državi, nadaljnja tretjina si je ohranila življenjsko raven iz prejšnjega obdobja, tretjina Slovencev pa živi v revščini, saj ima komaj dovolj sredstev za preživljanje.
Nekateri politiki in sociologi menijo, da je brezposelnost posledica neskladja dveh želja oz. interesov. Delavci in uradniki bi želeli ohraniti enake socialne pravice in ugodnosti, kot jih je zagotavljal prejšnji politični in družbeni sistem, hkrati pa imeti podjetniško in gospodarsko svobodo ob tržnih načelih in mednarodni konkurenčnosti.
Najbrž pa je največji vzrgk težav v gospodarstvu, brezposelnosti in posledično revščino stalno naraščanje izdatkov za negospodarske dejavnosti, javno upravo in
tudi za pokojninsko in invalidsko zavarovanje. Gre torej za stroške za negospodarske namene, za nekakšno družbeno “režijo”, ki so vsebovani v državnem proračunu.
V zadnjih petih letih je proračunska poraba v Sloveniji izredno hitro naraščala, saj je proračun leta 1993 znašal nekaj nad 323 milijard tolarjev, letos pa bo dosegel že celih 870 milijard tolarjev.
Izdatke države za posamezne dejavnosti, ki jih je sicer dolžna financirati ali sofinancirati, so tolikšni, da nanje opozarjajo tudi mednarodne finančne in denarne organizacije, razni tuji skladi in ustanove ter tudi organi EZ.
Tudi zaradi teh opozoril in posredovanj bodo v Sloveniji letos, tako zatrjuje vlada, izvedli nekaj najbolj nujnih reform, tako finančno, bančno in pokojninsko. Preobrazbe na raznih področjih so nujne tudi zato, ker so v Sloveniji z novim zakonom, ki je začel veljati 1. maja, dokončno odpravili družbeno lastnino, ki je bila ena od najbolj prepoznavnih značilnosti in vrednot prejšnjega političnega in družbenega sistema.
Gospodarstvo ima zdaj znane lastnike oz. je povsem sprivatizirano, v teh novih razmerah pa bo mo-
rala država z novimi predpisi oz. reformami zaščititi delavce in njihove pravice in v tem okviru uvesti mehanizme za zmanjšanje brezposelnosti na razumljivo in znosno raven.
Ob prvem maju so v Sloveniji na praznovanjih obudili tradicijo delavskega praznika, toda ob poudarjanju dela kot civilizacijske vrednote, so z zaskrbljenostjo obravnavali tudi naraščanje brezposelnosti. Kritikom se je pridružil tudi predsednik države Milan Kučan, ki je na nekem zborovanju dejal, “da naša jalova socialna situacija zna postati eksplozivna, ker je treba upoštevati, da imajo slovenski delavci visoko samoupravljalsko zavest, so pa slabo plačani in ponižani”.

IN LOVING MEMORY
Misijonska srečanja in pomenki 1233. Vabilo na slovesno blagoslovitev
nove cerkve, ki sta jo zgradila misijonar Lojze Letonja in njegov brat Jože, laični misijonar, oba na Madagaskarju. Rev. Letonja in Malgaši so poslali vabilo sodelavcem MZA ter dobrotnikom, ki so pomagali z darovi in molitvami graditi to cerkev sv. Petra in Pavla v Ambili, Manakara, Madagaskar, da bi se udeležili te slovesnosti, ki bo 7. junija. Pokojni g. Wolbang in msgr. A. Kovačič iz Bel-monta, Severne Karoline, sta darovala za tabernakel. Vabilo je v malgaščini in slovenščini. Objavljen je slovenski tekst, z njim pa še
odstavek iz g. Letonjevega osebnega pisma svojemu bratu, v katerem omenja novo cerkev v Ambili. Naj-prvo vabilo na blagoslovitev:
VABILO
MZA sodelavci in dobrotniki!
Katoliški kristjani iz Am-bile vas prisrčno vabimo na posvetitev božje hiše letos 7. junija.

Že vnaprej se vam prav prisrčno zahvalimo.
V imenu pripravljalnega odbora: Rev. Lojze Letonja
Odstavek iz pisma z dne 3. maja letos
Rev. Letonje svojemu bratu:
“Še pet tednov je do posvetitve cerkve. Dela gredo h kraju. Vsak dan se pokaže in najde kakšna stvar, ki jo je treba urediti, popraviti, preurediti. Te in mnoge druge skrbi me držijo v neprestani napetosti. Iskreno sem hvaležen mojemu bratu Jožetu, ki se žrtvuje od zore do noči. Brez njegove pomoči bi gradnja ne bila šla tako hitro naprej. S hvaležnostjo se spominjam vseh dobrotnikov, na dan posvečenja bo vsa krščanska skupnost mislila in tudi molila zanje. Drugače kot z molitvijo in da rečemo: Bog poplačaj, ne moremo izraziti hvaležnosti za veliko pomoč v denarju in molitvah. Prepričan sem, da bo ta cerkev najlepši pomnik tukajšnjim vernikom na dobroto bratov in sester po veri drugod po svetu.”	Posredovala:

VREDNOTE...
(nadaljevanje s str. 22)
našem zamejstvu nimamo izdelane globalne vizije o tem, kaj hočemo početi s to našo manjšino. Zdi se mi, da se zadovoljimo s tem, da živimo iz dneva v dan. Dogodki nas prehitevajo, komaj utegnemo reševati sprotne probleme, iskanju marsikatere rešitve se sploh že vnaprej odpovemo, ker vemo, da ne bomo kos vsemu...
Če včasih slučajno kaj novega pridobimo, te pridobitve ne znamo dobro izkoristiti... In tako izgubljamo energijo, materialne pridobitve, ki jih manjšina že uživa, (pomislimo na nekatere šole, ki bi se jih dalo z dobro koordinacijo ohraniti pred zaprtjem ali združevanjem...) in, kar je najhuje, izgubljamo navdušenje in optimizem.
Posledica: mladi čutijo to zafrustriranost v ozračju, čutijo pomanjkanje življenjske volje in to jih odvrača. Mladi ne vidijo perspektive znotraj manjšine, ker se nihče sistematično ne ukvarja z njimi in z njihovo bodočnostjo. Mladi pa so po svoji naravi v celoti obrnje-

ni ravno v bodočnost.
Ko trdim, da se nihče ne ukvarja z mladimi, ne. mislim reči, da bi ne imeli dovolj športnih, vzgojnih in kulturnih društev zase in vse pohvale vrednih prostovoljcev, ki jim posvečajo svoj dragoceni prosti čas. Tu mislim predvsem na to, da teh prostovoljcev nihče ne koordinira, da ni izdelanega nekega globalnega načrta za mlade, ki bi radi ostali v tem našem prostoru in dali nekaj svojega za manjšino, za slovenskega človeka.
Tu ni nobenega načrta, kako v manjšini vzgojiti nove kadre, kako jim omogočiti, da bodo lahko ostali v zamejstvu in da ne bo treba, da iščejo dobrih priložnosti daleč proč.
Ljudje, ki so danes odgovorni za bodočnost manjšine, se glede tega vprašanja preveč prepuščajo slučaju. Nihče moči in potencialov te mladine ne usmerja in izkorišča sistematično in smiselno.
Kot sem povedala, ne znam postreči z rešitvami za izhod iz te situacije. Tudi krivcev za to stanje ne bi bilo “fair” iskati, ker bi potem celotno razmišljanje if^adlo kot napad na kdo-ve-koga. Kar pa to razmišljanje noče biti. Rado bi bilo samo spodbuda, da se kmalu začne s kakimi ukrepi, drugače bo prepozno.
To, da se neki problem izpostavi, predstavlja po mojem že pol rešitve. Vsi namreč že slutimo, da je čas, da je treba iskati rešitve tam, kjer jih do sedaj še nismo iskali. Treba je “samo” zbrati dovolj energije in časa, da se celotne zadeve lotimo na popolnoma nov način. “Samo”, seveda! Saj to ni taka grozna stvar, lotiti se problema znova, od njegovega konca, ne pa, kot običajno, od začetka! Poskusimo obrniti celotno stvar na glavo. In začnimo z optimizmom!
