Fantje na Vasi concert near
A few weeks ago a group of us was looking at old pictures when we stumbled across some taken at Fantje Na Vasi’s fifth anniversary concert. The squeals of shock and bursts of surprise laughter escalated as even earlier photos were produced.
“Who is this? No, it can’t be! He’s changed so much. 1 didn’t even recognize him.” “Will you look at him! I forgot he used to wear glasses.”
“Well, look at him! I forgot he used to be thinner.”
“Oh no — sideburns!” (Names mentioned in the. course of the conversation have been diplomatically withheld.)
Fifteen years certainly do change a man’s appearance. And the members of Fantje Na Vasi have undergone fifteen years of physical change. When the group started, the tnembers were college or high school students. Their narodne noše were new and neatly fitting. Sideburns and long hair were all the fashion and rage.
But upon reflection, Physical appearance in general 's a minor consideration. It niay attract attention but it cannot hold attention and niost certainly it cannot hold nttention for fifteen years. Deeper, weightier, more important, more impressive qualities do hold our attention. After all, “Things of quality have no fear of time.” I’m sure the members of hantje Na Vasi long for per-torrnances gone by when the Sfoup did not take up quite so 'Puch room on the stage. They [Pight even like to take their b°ws with less bend at the "'uist so as not to show so
J^uch “thinning.” But I don’t uink any of them would wish o return to being the singers ucy used to be.
Their voices have grown in ^chnique, color, and range ^ough fifteen years of ^hearsing and performing. e*r repertoire has expanded the level of difficulty of Usic they can perform. It has J°wn to include songs of ^ Veral languages and various ulects both in English and 0venian. They are not just a °up but an ensemble, •Uething which requires maturity, familiarity, and st. All of these attributes tu st develop over time. All of se are things of quality. pa \ Saturday, October 3, tee JC ^as' celebrates fif-sper- ^ears of qual>ty in a bee- Way’ observance Tha'i8 w*t*1 a NIass of Viewing at 5 p.m. in St. sin* Cburch where the 8 rs will be the choir.

Slovenian ministers visit Cleveland
Dr. Dimitrij Rupel, Foreign Minister of the Republic of Slovenia and Information Minister, Jelko Kacin will be visiting Cleveland on September 26 and 27. The primary purpose of the visit is to express their gratitude to the Slovenian American Community for its support of the diplomatic recognition of the Republic of Slovenia by the United States Government.
The two ministers will be accompanied to Cleveland by the Ambassador Designee of the Republic of Slovenia in the United States, Dr. Ernest Petrie.
Ministers Rupel and Kacin will meet with members of The United Americans for Slovenia, the committee which guided the effort to pressure Washington to recognize the Republic of Slovenia.
The ministers will be the guest speakers at an open public forum on recent developments in Slovenia. This is a great opportunity for those interested in Slovenia to hear first hand what is taking place there. Ministers Rupel and Kacin along with Ambassador Designee Petrie will be answering questions from the audience.
This event is free and open to the public, and will be held at
the Slovenian Workmen’s Home, 15335 Waterloo Road, Cleveland at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 26th.
On Sunday, September 27 Ministers Rupel and Kacin will be guests at a benefit brunch for the Friends of the Slovenian National Horne, at 1 p.m.
‘Freedom’ edition due next week
The special section of our newspaper dedicated to “Freedom” in Slovenia and the part Slovenian-Americans took to help in the drive toward recognition of Slovenia as an independent nation will be distributed next Thursday as an insert in your Ameriška Domovina.
The ‘Freedom’ edition will be in three 8-page sections. There will be two colors besides black on the front page making it the first time in history the Ameriška Domovina is printed in three colors.
There are some very interesting quality articles and a few photos. It will be printed on a heavier paper so it will last a lot longer than the normal newsprint.
We hope you enjoy it, and thanks to ALL the advertisers who made it possible.

Our month-long drive for new subscribers netted a total of exactly 90 new readers. Thanks to those who purchased the paper — and “Happy Reading” to those receiving the ‘Domovina’ for the first time. We will do everything in our power to make the paper interesting and informative. Don’t forget to send in your items so others can share the news.
We were overwhelmed by the number of responses to the special promotion. We gratefully thank our Euclid resident who wrote out a check this week for $10 for each new subscriber. This family has been supporters of the American Home for many decades as well as other cultural activities in the Slovenian community. We respectfully thank them for their terrific idea and generous contribution.
Editor:
Just sending a “pat on the back” and our thanks for your continued hard work. We sometimes wonder how people from the Slovenian community would know what’s going on, especially special events, if it weren’t for Domovina. We especially like the news from Slovenia, the events calendar, and your regular columns. Any chance Mecan could revive his humor column?
We think the subscription drive was a great idea; thanks to the supporter subsidizing the subscriptions. Hopefully, it increased your subscriber-ship. It would be nice to see a report on the results.

CHAGRIN HERALD SUN Thursday, Sept. 10
The letter came all the way from America. Addressed to Robert Sket in Slovenia, it was sent by a distant relative. Would he, it asked, compose a family tree and send it back?
Sket saw no reason not to, so he did some research and mailed his findings back to his grandfather’s cousin in Brecksville, Ohio.
As he walked home from the post office, he thought about how nice it would be to one day follow the letter and set foot on American soil.
Now, six months later, he’s doing just that.
He’s completing his senior year of high school at Gilmour Academy in Gates Mills, Ohio.
He’s at Gilmour because his mother’s cousin (Josef Lah) who lives in Cleveland, has a son who’s a Gilmour graduate. (Andrej Lah)
Sket, 17, arrived a scant l!0 days ago. The 16-hour flight was his first. Nevertheless, the soft-spoken, polite Sket seemed at ease in his new surroundings.
During weekdays, he’ll live in a school dormitory. He’ll stay with his mother’s cousin on weekends.
Once he gets adjusted, he plans on trying out for the school basketball team and, maybe later, cross country.
First things first though. At the moment, he’s busy trying to satisfy his classmates’ curiosity about his homeland.
He stressed that Slovenia is an independent country recognized by the Serbian government. It is not at war with Serbia any more.
“The war was short, only 10 days,” says Sket. “There is not one Yugoslavian soldier there.”
He said the Serbs underestimated the resolve of Slovenians to make a clean break from the former Yugoslavian republic.
“They thought Slovenia would not be able to defend itself,” he said, ‘‘but somehow our leaders found out about Serbia’s plan.”
That plan, he said, was for Serbia to cut off the borders between Slovenia and the rest of Europe so the world would not know about the Serbian

invasion.
Thanks to this inside information, he said, Slovenia was able to strike a bargain with Serbia, thus effectively ending the conflict in July, 1991.
“We are free,” he said. “We have our own government like any other country.”
He also stressed that, unlike Croatia and Bosnia, Slovenia escaped the atrocities the Serbs are being blamed for by much of the world.
His classmates are also curious about day-to-day life in Slovenia. They are surprised, he said, to learn there are some similarities between Slovenia and the United States.
“Many people in Slovenia have satellite TV,” he said. “Basketball is very popular.”
Even though he’s only been in America a few days, he’s also become aware of the differences between the United States and his homeland. This is particularly true of the schools.
“Here, you choose six or seven subjects,” he said. “In Slovenia, you have to take 11 or 12 subjects.”
Not only that, but the timetables of the courses are different, too, he said.
“Here you take math every day, or physics every day,” he said. “In Slovenia, you take physics just twice a week.”
He likes the flexibility American schools offer.
“Here, I think, you can

choose art for a year, or the next year you can take religion,” he said. “This is good because if you decide on what to study, you can choose subjects that interest you.”
This year he’s taking French, physics, calculus, social studies, American history and, of course, English.
“And if I have time,” he said, T will sit in on economics classes.”
Such enthusiasm has not gone unnoticed by Gilmour’s teachers and administrators. Elizabeth Fesler, director of the upper school, is impressed.
“I think our kids will learn a lot from him,’ she said. “His insights on the Balkans should be interesting.”
Robert Isabella, director of admissions, is astounded al how fast Sket has fit in with his fellow classmates.
‘‘He’s acclimated very quickly,” he said. “Yon wouldn’t know he just' got here.”
Sket is one of 14 foreign students at Gilmour’s upper school, out of an enrollment of about 330. Some of these newcomers ate from Asia, Fesler said, adding that they conduct themselves differently than those from Europe.
“The Asian youngster5 generally don’t feel that shat' ing a lot of their culture is aP' propriate,” she said. “B^t Robert doesn’t seem to have that hesitancy..”

100 years since building Slovenian opera house
by Darinka Pek Drapal “In” magazine
This year is the 100th an-niverary of the erection of the Provincial Theatre in t-jubijana, Slovenia, in which the Opera and Ballet of the Slovenian National theatre functions.
On October 3, 1892, the Ensemble of the Slovenian Provincial Theatre put on hs first performance: the opera in two acts by Vilim “todek, “In the Well.” Franc Gerbič conducted, 'jr|d the director of the pro-ooction was Josip Nolli. German and Slovenian orama and opera perfor-jhances alternated in the theatre in the beginning, ®nd in 1911 the Germans ooilt their own theatre (tody’s Drama).
In the first seasons, the pro-ess|onal Slovenian Opera ense~mble performed primarily Operettas and had enjoyed their first great success by 1893 '''hen, with the purchase of all he performance rights for Mascagni’s opera “Cavalieria Knsticana” from an Italian Publishing house, they Prevented the German Opera ensemble in Ljubljana from Performing the then most Popular opera and thus at-hacted all Ljubljana opera afi-c*onados to their perfor-
oiances.
^■th this show the Opera ^s° demonstrated that it was Pable of following even the evVest current heights of Ih°dern opera.
The Opera continued in this in the following years hh its performances of a ^hntber of then current and °ntemporary composers: ^ncavaio, Puccini, Verdi, o others including older
‘Pasters.

nian Opera and Ballet ensemble is still operating in the same building, although it is understandable that the theatre needs of the capital of Slovenia are different today than they were in 1892, when Ljubljana’s inhabitants numbered 30,000, and it is clear that adaptations cannot provide permanent solutions
but could destroy a unique artistic whole.
On October 3, 1992, the building of the Opera and Ballet SNG will again be dedicated to a premiere, which will be the central event of the 100th anniversary celebration. On this occasion, the opera specially commissioned for this event, Jani Golob’s “Krpan’s Mare,” will be performed, the libretto of which was written by Ervin Fritz based on the literary work of Frank Levstik.
Zarja’s fall concert set for October 24 at SSH
Preparations for the fall concert season are underway; Zarja’s target date is Saturday, October 24, at Slovenian Society Home, 20713 Recher Ave., Euclid, Ohio.

Donation is $15 for adults, and $5 for children 12 and under (dance included). Menu consists of breaded chicken, roast pork, veggies, dessert and coffee, enough to satisfy everyone.

Starting at 7 p.m., the concert selections are a variety blend, to lend pleasures to our listeners. Our Director is Doug Elersich; accompanists are Ed Polšak, piano; Steve Valencie and Jim Kozel, accordionists; Ed Ozanich, audio and stage. With many willing hands to clear the auditorium for dancing, the Ray Polantz Orchestra
will take over with music until midnight. Admission to the dance only is $5. Of course, there will be refreshments and food available during the evening.
We thank you in advance for your continuous support through the past 76 years we’ve “been here.” We hope you will find our offering a pleasure, as we put our hearts and our “volunteer time” into each performance, to continue our Slovenian memories — given to us by our mothers, fathers, and grandparents. May our children and grandchildren pick up where we may have to leave off —!
Remember, ZARJA, Saturday, October 24, SSH Recher Avenue!

AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, SEPTEMBER 24, 1992
4 Frances Chukayne, 92, worked to keep the family together
As a young Slovenian widow during the Depression, Frances Chukayne cleaned houses for $3 a day.
She had come to the United States at age 20, married and had three sons in less than four years. When her husband died in 1929, the boys were made wards of Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court.
Mr. Chukayne, fighting a move to place them in an orphanage, supported her family by taking in laundry and working as a housekeeper.
Mrs. Chukayne, 92, of Euclid, Ohio died Wednesday, Sept. 16 at the Slovene Home for the Aged.
Of her three sons, the eldest, Frank, later became a Euclid councilman, serving six terms in office. He then served eight years as executive director for Euclid Mayor Anthony Guinta.
Robert, who played championship sandlot baseball as a boy, was surveyor for more than 30 years with a Wickliffe civil engineering firm.
Edward, the youngest, became a graphic artist and co-author of two books on Euclid Beach Park, “Euclid Beach Is Closed for the Season” and “Euclid Beach, Another Look.” He also worked 12 years as a probation officer for Euclid Municipal Judge Robert F. Niccum.
Mrs. Chukayne’s strength against adversity had been forged in her childhood in Europe. She was orphaned when she was 12 and was shuttled between relatives for six years before getting a job as a governess and housekeeper with a Slovenian judge.
In 1920 Mrs. Chukayne’s brother, who had come to the United States eight years earlier, sent for her. She met and married her husband, Ignatius (Jim) within a year.

Snowmass Ski School Boss wows Austrians
Snowmass (Colorado) Ski School Director Victor Gerdin is back from Austria, where he, Aspen Ski School Supervisor Jerry Berg, Aspen Highlands’ Diana Golden and eight other skiing Americans wowed ski experts from 30 nations last January.
Their success might not have an immediate impact on Snowmass teaching but could eventually affect the way skiing is taught all over the world.
The 10-member National Demonstration Team’s 20-minute exhibition of synchronized skiing, matched turn for turn by the one-legged Golden, was a highlight of the International Ski Instructors Congress, the quadrennial show-and-tell known as Interski. The session was held in the Austrian ski resort of St. Anton earlier this year.
According to Gerdin’s wife, D.D., who was among the spectators on the cold, sunny Wednesday when the U.S. team performed, it wasn’t until its members had snaked part way down the rock-hard slope that the crowd realized it was watching two telemarkers, two snowboarders, five male and one female alpine skiers and one woman skiing on one leg.
“From the waste up, they loked like they were doing the same thing,” D. D. Gerdin said.
While a sound system poured out the Americans’ customized musical medley and Vail Ski School’s Mike Porter narrated,
Victor Gerdin is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Gerdin, who have spent 40 years in the Kirtland, Ohio area, but are now moving to Colorado to be near their son. Stanley says, “If you ever plan to come skiing in the Aspen ski region, let us know; it will be nice to see you — Lepo pozdravljeni in “Na svidenje.”

“Service To Render A More Perfect Tribute”
Thoughts by Albert Nels, Slovenian Balloonist
by Sonya Turner
Beaver Creek Daily News Beavercreek, Ohio — When it comes to his hobby, Albert Nels may be a little cocky.
He may even be a little obsessed.
But as two-time world champion, the Beavercreek resident has earned the right to spew some hot air. Besides, Nels says, confidence and concentration are the secrets of his flight to the top.
He attributes his first world title in Austria in 1987 to a change in attitude. Nels went into the contest saying he would come back a champion, rather than just expecting to do well.
“People said, ‘Boy, he’s a little cocky.’ But I had to get myself mentally psyched,” Nels says. “I knew I could do it, I just had to convince myself that I could.”
Nels says it’s his ability to place all his attention on a single subject that makes him a winner. He has won the national ballooning championships twice and recently won an international competition in Battlecreek, Mich., for the second time.
“You have to become extremely focused on trying to steer the balloon,” Nels says. “You have to be very sensitive to small wind changes. You cannot get distracted.”
The 39-year-old engineer’s interest in flight began when he was 14. He made model balloons in his backyard with dry cleaning bags, birthday candles and straws. Nels had his first hot air balloon ride in 1974 and was so hooked on it that he obtained his balloon pilot’s license one month later.
The experience he calls being “suspended under a twilight canopy” is enough to turn Nels — a self-professed technology junkie — into a poet and philosopher.
“Flying in a balloon is truly an escape from reality,” he explains. “You lose the controls placed on you by your human environment, but suddenly you are thrust right in the middle of Mother Nature and God. You feel a combination of above it all yet helpless.” Nels says he has never felt like he was in danger while up in a balloon.
“I’ve had some moments I wouldn’t want to repeat, but I’ve never feared for my life,” he says.
But what goes up must come down, which posed a problem when Nels was trying to land in unfamiliar territory in former	communist
Yugoslavia. He brought his balloon down in a wide-open field that just happened to be next to a village police station.
“Before I even hit the ground, there were police in that yard,” he recalls. “They interrogated me and finally decided that I wasn’t a threat. They wanted to know if I had taken pictures from the air or flown over the artillery range.
I wasn’t at all alarmed; I couldn’t imagine they would keep me forever.”
Besides giving him an inside view of a communist police station and taking him to exotic locals like Japan and Jamaica, Nels’ ballooning has opened some doors to famous abodes.
In 1988, he spent a weekend in Malcom Forbes’ chateau, rubbing elbows with the likes of Walter Cronkite, Madame Mitterrand and the director of the FBI.
Although he has flown in many places, Nels said he still enjoys flying in the Miami Valley (Ohio). Most area farmers are cooperative about allowing balloonists to land in their fields, and the weather and topography are well-suited for it, Nels says.
Balloon competitions include a series of flights in which pilots must drop bean bags on designated targets. The pilot that gets the closes to the target scores the highest amount of points.
“Mom used to say, ‘Albert, there’s something you can do better than anyone else in the whole world,’ That’s true for everyone. My fortune is that I found out what it is.”

The Lipica Horses
The Lipica Horse Stud Farm 'n Slovenia, over 400 years °Id, is one of the oldest in the world. Austrian Archduke Charles purchased the village of Lipica from the Bishop of Trieste and founded the stud farm in 1580. Lipica had been known since Roman times to produce horses exceptional for their strength, speed and endurance.
Here the world-famous white Liipica (Lipizzaner) horses, familiar to visitors to the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, are bred. The Lipica horses are a noble and J^niarkably beautiful breed. They are intelligent, confident and very even-tempered and these admirable characteristics "take them especially suitable t°r training and riding. There are about 260 horses at the stud farm and there are Lipiz-2aners available for both tiding and performing.
The history of the Lipiz-Zaner horses is both romantic and harrowing, originally bred 0 supply good riding and draught horses to the court in lenna and Graz, their excep-10nal beauty and abilities soon evoked the interest of Royalty in Spain, Italy and uenmark. The first stallions pd mares were brought to Gpica from Spain, famous for heir endurance, beauty and ,'8h stepping called the Spanish Walk.” Then came ,,e Italian and Danish Ara-,an horses. Five of the °riginal lines have been Preserved, representing the PUre Lipica breed; a sixth line added in 1816.
In 1796 when Austria was at ar with France, the horses ere moved to Hungary for ipfety. They were forced to a e Lipica again in 1805 and fhird time in 1809. They gunned to Slovenia in 1815 (j !n Emperor Franz Joseph I , clared Lipica the permanent j, "re of the stud farm, and

them. They were later transferred to Italy and finally back to Lipica in 1947. There were only 11 of them left at that time.
Today, the horses bred at Lipica are white or gray, with a few rare blacks and bays among them. All Lipizzaner horses are born dark, either black, gray or bay and only change to white between six and ten years of age.
World famous for their performance abilities, the most gifted stallions perform in the international tournaments. Systematic training is an integral part of the breeding of Lipizzaners. Those horses showing less ability are removed from the breeding stock; thus ensuring the high quality standards required to be of the renowned “Lipizzaner” line.
Lipica, Slovenia, is surrounded by parks and woods — an ideal location to ride any of the 50 horses available for riding at any given time. The art of riding and training is available at every level. There are daily performances in the indoor arena.
Visitors can ride across the Karst to nearby caves and caverns, ride in old-fashioned carriages drawn by Lipizzaners to the Škocjan Caves, or visit many other natural and historic places. Italy is only five miles away; Portorož and nearby medieval towns along the Adriatic coast are only 30 miles away. Lipica itself has two hotels, several restaurants, a nightclub, shops, a pool, fitness center, a 9-hole golf course, tennis courts and a large active casino.
Lipica Hotels
HOTEL MAESTOSO — (Moderate First Class) Original hotel at Lipica centrally located close to tennis courts, Olympic-sized pool, golf course, shopping, and adjacent to Lipica Casino. Taverna served regional specialties. Hotel derives its name from the world-famous stallion “Maestoso” bred at Lipica.

Slovenian
Land
The Republic of Slovenia is in the very heart of central Europe... a geographic and cultural crossroads... a Europe in miniature. Slovenia has a little bit of everything typical of the European continent.
The Julian Alps, named for Julius Caesar, tower majestically along the northwest corner. At the foot of the Alps stretches the Adriatic Sea — the northernmost point of the Mediterranean.
In the northeast is a vast sprawling plain that stretches
across Hungary and reaches all the way into Russia. In between are hundreds of miles of rolling hills and valleys enhanced with enchanting castles and monasteries, medieval towns and wineries, labyrinths of caves, rivers and world-famous spas.
People
Slovenia’s people are a particularly industrious group whose language and culture has survived for a thousand years, undaunted by either the historically great Roman, Austrian, Hungarian, German and Italian empires that surround it, or the Mongolian and Turkish hordes that invaded from the east.

Janet Voinovich —
Freedom Forum Review Ohio Governor George Voinovich consistently describes his wife Janet as his better half. This year marks 29 years of marriage for the Voinoviches — years filled with political service for both individuals. The Northeast Ohio Roundtable interviewed Mrs. Voinovich about their lives as public servants to the citizens of Ohio.
Q. You’ve had the opportunity of being first lady in Ohio over a year now. What have been some of your discoveries? What is the job like?
A. It is exhilarating. I had no idea how busy I would be. As first lady of Cleveland for 10 years, I knew a little of what political life was about. But there is really no comparison. Being first lady of Ohio is exciting, and I am loving it. I am traveling Ohio and doing a lot together with George. Yet there are times when I would like to stop and take some time for ourselves; and that is hard.
Q. You both have been involved in leadership in government for a long time. You’ve seen Ohio from a lot of different perspectives. Some thoughts on what you’ve seen?
A. Ohio is complex with a variety of people making up our state. I would love for people to have the opportunity to travel the state as George and I have and enjoy the many varied facets of Ohio. It is a
beautiful state.
Q. Let’s talk about family. I know you have been together through many battles and challenges, yet people who have observed your life agree you have kept the family together. Has this been hard work?
A. I don’t look at it as hard work. I think it is a matter of priorities. In our particular lifestyle, it has always been faith, family, and then public service (or whatever you call your work). That is how we’ve chosen to regulate our lives.
Q. What are some practical ways you have done that?
A. The one thing we do is keep Sundays. George typically has no time during the week to relax except to sit down at dinner each evening. He does not know what it is like to sit down and watch TV. Keeping Sundays for the family has really been a rule since he became Mayor of Cleveland.
Family is such a big part of our lives. As busy as a politician can be, George used to say to the kids when they were little, “Look, if I were a farmer, you would be out in the fields helping. I happen to be in the business of politics, so you’re out here helping Daddy.” We’ve made our children an integral part of our lives. There were rough edges to smooth over, but we also had a lot of fun. It has also been a learning experience for our children. They really

learned what their father was about. There are a lot of children who grow up in political families who aren’t really an integral part of what their father is trying to accomplish. I think these children miss something that is very important.
Q. How do your children feel about their dad being governor?
A. They feel the same as George and I. They would like to see him in office as governor for eight years to accomplish all that he hopes to accomplish and improve the quality of life for Ohioans. But after that, they would really like to see him go fishing. That’s what George sees: “Eight years and I’m out. I’m taking my pole and going fishing.” The family and those who know George best feel it is in his best interest not to pursue further political goals. He works too hard and too long to be doing this forever.
Q. He seems to be giving the job as Ohio’s Governor all he’s got; and obviously you are, too.
A. I worry about him because this is a very draining job. When George took over as Mayor of Cleveland, he took on a monster with budget problems, deficits, and other challenges. That was nothing compared to the situation the state of Ohio is in now. Maybe that’s why we pray so much — because we need all the divine guidance we can have. The job is a tremendous challenge.
0- You have won and lost campaigns. You have experienced high and low moments personally and in political service through the years. What keeps you both going?
A. Like very other family, we’ve had our share of ups nd downs. In that respect we’re no different from the next
guy. I’m grateful that we’ve had more ups than downs. We have experienced major downs though, and that is when close-knit family and beliefs become more important than ever.
I always go back to the time when we lost our little girl. We were a family of faith before that time, but when you deal with something as difficult as that, you realize the importance and strength you get from your faith and The Almighty. I have no idea what people do who do not have that, because it has been a source of comfort through it all. It is a matter of faith, not religion.
Q. Let’s turn to what you are looking forward to for Ohio. What projects are you excited about?
A. The Adoption Task Force. I am so glad we are in a position to do some work that should have been done a long time ago to facilitate adoption and reform the process to make it easier for folks to adopt. I have been thrilled to be involved as the honorary

chairperson of the Adoption Task Force. I know a lot of good will come out of it.
I have also been devoting a great amount of time to the Adopt-A-School program. It is not a new program, but one that was dragging and needed some life pumped into it. The Adopt-A-School program is simply the linking together of a school and a partner, such as a business, service organization, religious group or senior citizen group. An example that comes to mind is a grade school in a poor section of Cincinnati that linked up with the Kroger company.
Q. What can Ohioans do to help you and the Governor?
A. Above all else, we appreciate your prayers. We both know that without help from the Lord, we could accomplish very little. We would like to thank those who remember us in this way.
30-day Memorial Mass
There will be a 30-day holy Mass at St. Vitus on Sept. 30th at 7:30 a.m. for Mary (Muniza) Klemenčič. She was a member of St. Vitus Altar Society and Slovenian Women’s Union No. 50.

Add wine, thyme, and black pepper; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Add peas and sweet pepper. Cook and stir until heated through.
Remove from heat; stir in the 1/3 cup cheese. Top with additional cheese. Makes 4 side-dish servings.

SHORT-CUT COOKING
RECIPE
A s the fascination with micro-zxwave cooking swept across the country, an entirely new category of recipes was created. Through an understanding of what microwaves can do, we have also discovered how existing recipe favorites may be more simply or quickly prepared. To our delight, the microwave oven can become an “assistant chef’ to defrost, soften, heat or re-heat, keep warm, toast, or melt, thus using it to short-cut many cooking procedures.
According to Whirlpool Corporation home economists, meltin chocolate or caramels is fast an easily controlled in the microwave oven. Dip-Dip Cookie Delights take advantage of this convenient procedure, making possible a fresh batch of dressed-up cookies for impromptu entertaining or a surprise afterschool treat.

SLOVENIAN MORNING NEWSPAPER
Vesti iz Slovenije
Slovenija prvič aktivno nastopa v Združenih narodov — Danes ob 3h popoldne govori na zasedanju Generalne skupščine Milan Kučan
V New Yorku se mudi na zasedanju Generalne skupščine Združenih narodov dele-Sacija Republike Slovenije. Danes popoldne °b treh bo govoril na zasedanju predsednik Slovenije Milan Kučan. V delegaciji so med drugimi zunanji minister dr. Dimitrij Rupel, Ignac Golob in dr. Mirjam Škrk. Navzoč je seveda tudi slovenski veleposlanik v ZN, dr. Danilo Turk.
Pred odhodom delegacije v New York, jg komisija za mednarodne odnose sloven-skega parlamenta odobrila izhodišča, ki jih bodo pri ZN zagovarjali na zasedanju tega najbolj vplivnega mednarodnega telesa. Med drugim bo Slovenija podala svoje mnenje o razpadu držav v Evropi (Jugoslavija, Sovjetska zveza, Češkoslovaška), ki tako skrbi mnoge druge državnike, ki vidijo v tem pro-ces» ki bi lahko prizadel marsikatero drugo večnarodno državo. Marjeta Šimunic poroča v Slovencu prejšnjo soboto takole:
»Predsednik Kučan bo zagovarjal mne-nje, da tovrstni razpadi v svetu, ki se združuje, niso absurd. Novonastale države hočejo namreč nadomestiti zgodovinsko zamudo, ki Je niso zakrivile same, in se z vso odgovorno-stjo in samostojnostjo združevati. Ob tem bo spregovoril tudi o samoodločbi Slovenje.«
Med razpravo na seji komisije se je Kučan dotaknil tudi drugih zadev.

• Janez Drnovšek pozitivno ocenil svoj

Drtl ^dsednik slovenske vlade dr. Janez 17 ^>Vsek se je mudil v ZDA na obisku od nov,0,21’ septembra. Med obiskom seje Dr-Him po8°varjal med drugimi z general-$k|acj ‘^ktorjem Mednarodnega denarnega Dela 3 k^belom Camdessusom.

Sestal rviu'11 do novembra, ko se bo zopet Odbor direktorjev IMF.
Del svojega obiska v ZDA je Drnovšek izkoristil za obisk države Maryland preteklo soboto, kjer se je pogovarjal z guvernerjem in je bila sobota proglašena v tej državi za dan Slovenije. V ponedeljek je Drnovšek obiskal državo Massachusetts, kjer seje tudi pogovarjal z guvernerjem. Dalje, prejšnji petek je Drnovšek sodeloval na veliki mednarodni gospodarski konferenci v organizaciji tv družbe CNN, kot eden glavnih govornikov. Spregovoril je na temo Slovenija kot država v prehodu — možna zgodba uspeha.
Urednik za mednarodno politiko pri Slovencu Jože Poličar je v komentarju prejšnji petek obžaloval, da se med svojim obiskom v ZDA Drnovšku ni zdelo pomembno, da bi se tudi srečal s predstavniki slovenske skupnosti tu. Poličar je pripomnil: »Seveda pa obstaja možnost, da si med izseljenci predsednik Drnovšek težko najde sebi primerne sogovornike. Njegov predhodnik je užival med njimi veliko priljubljenost.«
Do konca septembra bo Slovenija začela dobivati prave tolarje
V torek, 15. septembra, se je slovenska vlada po posvetovanju z Banko Slovenijo odločila za zamenjavo slovenskega denarja. Ta proces, ki naj bi trajal do konca leta, se bo začel že konec tega meseca. Časopis Slovenec je o tem poročal naslednji dan takole:
»Uvanjanje novega denarja bo izvedeno v menjalnem razmerju ena proti eni, torej brez denominacije. Pri menjavi denarja tudi ne bo devalvacije. Vlada in Banka Slovenije bosta še naprej vodili stabilizacijsko politiko tolarja. Tečaj tolarja v razmerju do tujih valut po besedah Janeza Drnovška že dosega ustrezno vrednost, zato večjih devalvacij ni pričakovati. Apoeni novega slovenskega tolarja bodo enaki kot doslej. Najprej bo Banka zamenjala bankovce po 100, 500 in 1.000 tolarjev, ki so bili najpogosteje v uporabi in največkrat večkrat ponarejeni. Novi tolarji bodo tiskani v Angliji, na kvalitetnem papirju, z vso potrebno zaščito. Kovance (stotine) pa bo Banka Slovenije izdala nekaj mesecev kasneje.«
Vinko Levstik se 15. septembra udeležil v Ljubljani začetka preiskave proti njemu — »Zame je danes dan zmage«
Po zaslišanju 15. septembra v zvezi s preiskavo proti Vinko Levstiku, je njegov odvetnik Danijel Starman izjavil: »Nobena priča, ki bi govorila mojemu klientu v prid, ni bila zaslišana, saj nismo imeli možnosti, da bi jo predlagali. Postopek je bil enostranski.« Nato je Vesna Tripkovič v Slovencu 16. septembra poročala: »Po mnenju g. Starmana obsodbe niso realne, saj Levstiku očitajo trinajst dejanj, ki naj bi jih storil od junija 1944 do aprila 1945. V tem času pa je bil g. Levstik ranjen in operiran, kasneje pa je bil v šoli za oficirje, kar je tudi dokazljivo.«
Vinko Levstik je dal sledečo izjavo za Slovenec in sicer: »Po okrevanju sem bil do konca marca v oficirski šoli, kjer smo se izobraževali najboljši podoficirji. Tam je bila zelo stroga disciplina, lahko sem šel le v nedeljo k maši. V tem času naj zagrešil sedem dejanj. Kot sem že danes povedal, tudi pri drugih treh nisem sodeloval. Glede prič menim, da so bile pod pritiskom notranje uprave. Že takrat je bilo jasno, da so mnoge zadeve nezakonite. Kot je ena izmed prič tudi sama priznala, so jo prisilili pričati proti meni, sicer bi bila ob službo.« Dodal je še tole: »Še do nedavnega sem se počutil kot vojni zločinec, zdaj sem le še osumljenec. Upam, da bo kmalu prišel dan, ko ne bom niti osumljen več.«
Dr. Dimitrij Rupel o odnosih z južno sosedo
Še naprej strpno do Hrvaške
V »Slovencu« je 14. septembra izšlo sledeče poročilo, ki ga posredujemo v celoti z izjemo prvega, uvodnega odstavka. Drugje poročamo, da se bo dr. Rupel mudil v Clevelandu in okolici skupaj z ministrom za informiranje Jelkom Kacinom ta konec tedna. Poročilo v Slovencu je na podlagi javne tribune, ki jo je v Vinici 12. sept. organirala Ruplova Demokratska stranka. Za Slovenec je poročal Damir Sedlak.
Dr. Rudolph M. Susel
Dr. Rupel je ponovil že znana strpna slovenska stališča do države, ki so jo na njenih južnih in jugovzhodnih mejah prisilili v obrambno vojno. Vojna je tako glavni vzrok, da meja med Slovenijo in Hrvaško ni taka kot meja med Belgijo in Luxemburgom, taka, da je praktično ne občutiš. S hrvaške strani se v zadnjem času (po volitvah) sluti pripravljenost na učinkovitejše reševanje spornih problemov kot je npr. Piranski zaliv, ki ga moramo nujno rešiti.
Slovenija veliko pričakuje od obiska dr. Franja Tudmana v Ljubljani in obiska dr. Janeza Drnovška v Zagrebu. Dr. Rupel ima občutek, da se stvari končno rešujejo v pravo smer. Ko je govoril o ne ravno zglednih odnosih med državama v minulih mesecih, je poudaril, da Slovenija na ekscese in incidente ob meji (obnašanje hrvaških policistov pri nas) ni odgovarjala, vendar pri nas ni več popularno zagovarjanje stališča, da je potrebna tolerantnost. Pride do dogodkov, ko ni več mogoče molčati, kot npr. v Razkrižju, protestirali smo zaradi obnašanja policije. Dostop slovenskih ladij na odprto morje bomo reševali, če bo potrebno, pred mednarodnimi forumi.
Na vprašanje o državljanstvu je minister Rupel povedal, da se zgledujemo po večini držav, ki dvojnega državljanstva ne priznajo. Slovenija bo kmalu podpisala konvencijo o izogibanju dvojnega državljanstva. To pomeni, da se bo tisti tujec, ki bo želel dobiti slovensko državljanstvo, istočasno moral odreči svojemu prejšnjemu državljanstvu. Zakon o državljanstvu je po ministrovem mnenju dober, čeprav je restriktiven, medtem ko večina parlamentarcev meni, da je preveč liberalen.
Dr. Rupel se je dotaknil tudi problema beguncev. Vprašanje o tem je metaforično označil kot »vprašanje za 64.000 dolarjev« - to je sinonim za najtežja vprašanja v ameriških TV kvizih. Reka beguncev iz BiH je bila tista, ki je najbolj streznila Evropo in svet, ki ži-
vita v »velikem strahu« pred tujci. O temu pričajo rast šovinizma, rasne nestrpnosti in terorizem. Slovenija je že na londonski konferenci predlagala uvedbo varnih območij v BiH, kamor bi se begunci lahko vrnili. Kot kaže, je za to zamisel v mednarodnih krogih vse več posluha.
Ob koncu dveurnega kramljanja z občinstvom se je dr. Rupel kot prvak Demokratske stranke dotaknil tudi volitev. Na te se stranka dobro pripravlja in skupaj s koalicijskimi partnerji na volitvah pričakuje zmago.

O statusu Slovenije v trgovinskih odnosih z ZDA
Dne 9. septembra smo objavili intervju med novim ameriškim veleposlanikom v Sloveniji Allanom Wendtom in novinarjem Slovenca Jožetom Poličarjem. V tem intervjuju je bila pomota v zvezi s statusom Slovenije v trgovinskih odnosih z ZDA. Na to pomoto nas je opozoril naš naročnik Vladimir Pregelj iz Washing-tona, ki nam je poslal tudi pojasnilo, ki ga posredujemo bralcem. Za dodatno informacijo smo g. Preglju hvaležni.
Urednik
Ko je urednik »Slovenca« Jože Poličar veleposlaniku Wendtu omenil, daje »dva dni po tem, ko ste odprli veleposlaništvo, ... dobila Slovenija status države z največjimi ugodnostmi v trgovini z ZDA«, je g. Wendt potrdil, »da so ta status, ki so ga bivši Jugoslaviji odvzeli, Sloveniji... zdaj vrnili«.
Oba sogovorca sta tu verjetno zamenjala status države z največjimi ugodnostmi (most-favored-nation status) in status države-koristnice splošnega sistema trgovinskih prednosti (generalized system of preferences). Prvega statusa, na podlagi katerega je ameriški uvoz iz skoro vseh držav podvržen istim pogodbeno znižanim carinam, ZDA niso nikoli odvzele niti Jugoslaviji niti Sloveniji. Pač pa so ZDA odvzele Jugoslaviji prednostni status 24. decembra 1991 v zvezi z uvedbo gospodarskih sankcij zoper Jugoslavijo.
Z odlokom, ki ga je predsednik Bush podpisal prav na dan otvoritve ameriške ambasade v Ljubljani 25. avgusta, pa je bil status koristnice prednostnega sistema Sloveniji podeljen — ne vrnjen, ker ga Slovenija kot taka nikoli ni imela — z veljavnostjo od 11. septembra. Kot koristnica pred-(dalje na str. 10)

Ameriške in slovenske volitve
Tu v ZDA smo sredi volilne kampanje, ki se bo končala 3. novembra, volilna kampanja poteka tudi v Sloveniji, kjer bodo volitve v decembru. Tisti, ki sledimo izjavam predstavnikov tukaj tekmujočih si strank z George Bushom in Bill Clintonom na čelu, in obenem sledimo izjavam predstavnikov raznih strank v Sloveniji, bi kaj lahko potegnili zaključek, da sta obe državi na robu katastrofe. To je nonsens in zato je treba iti mimo razvpitih napadov drug na drugega, ki se jih poslužujejo strankarski prvaki in drugi. S tem ni rečeno, da volitve niso pomembne, in da je vseeno, ali se jih tu udeležujemo ali ne, kot ni vseeno, ali se jih udeležujejo v domovini tamkaj živeči rojaki in celo tisti, ki sicer živijo v tujini, imajo pa zaradi slovenskega državljanstva volilno pravico v Sloveniji. Moramo pa ostati na jasnem, za kaj v resnici gre.
Tu v ZDA bo zmagal ali Bush ali Clinton. Ob tem pisanju vse kaže, da bo izvoljen Clinton, stvari pa se lahko v dobrih šestih tednih do volitev spremenijo, čeprav tega ni videti. Napadi z republikanske strani na Clintona imajo svojo težo, vendar ni misliti, da bi zaradi Clintonove izvolitve prišlo do kakšnega kolapsa ameriškega sistema. Isto je oziroma bo, če bo Bush ostal v Beli hiši naslednja štiri leta. Iz tega kota je prepričanje, da bi bil Bush in njegova verjetna politika sorazmerno boljša za ZDA kot Clintonova, ni pa tudi od Busha čudežev pričakovati. Za mnoge bo Bush boljši od dveh bistveno negativnih kandidatov, kakor bo za mnoge druge tudi Clinton. Izbira glede kvalitete letos pri nas nikakor ni zavidljiva. Sistem sam pa ni v nobeni nevarnosti, da bi propadel. Tudi v najslabšem primeru bodo ZDA preživele, naj bo v Beli hiši Bush ali Clinton.
Isto velja za Slovenijo. Naj na volitvah zmaga ena ali druga koalicija, torej desno-sredinska ali levo-sredinska, ni pričakovati kakšne povrnitve diktature. Za tekočo politiko bo seveda zelo važno, katera koalicija bo zmagala, kajti se bo vladna politika krojila po večinskem principu in je jasno, da bo politika morebitne bodoče nove Peterletove vlade zelo drugačna od politike vlade, ki bi ji po volitvah načeloval Drnovšek. Kakor pa ZDA s svojim Bushom in Clintonom, tako bo Slovenija s svojim Peterletom in Drnovškom (ali s kom drugim) sistemsko preživela. Kar je v zvezi s Slovenijo in njenimi volitvami želeti, je to, da bi res z dokaj solidno večino zmagala ena ali druga koalicija, ki bi mogla sestaviti tako tudi solidno vlado.
Tak izid bi bil koristen tudi v ZDA. Edina možnost tega bi pa bila v Clintonovi zmagi, kajti sploh ni misliti, da bodo republikanci tudi ob Bushovi zmagi dosegli večino v senatu, kaj šele v predstavniškem domu. Prav zaradi tega bodo nekateri oddali svoj glas Clintonu, v upanju torej, da bo demokratski predsednik ob pričakovani podpori močno (strankarsko) demokratskega kongresa le mogel vpeljati tiste »spremembe«, o katerih sicer v večkrat tako protislovnih izjavah govori na volilnih nastopih.
Naj bomo tako ali drugače opredeljeni glede kandidatov ali strank tu in v Sloveniji, eno je jasno v obeh državah: naj zmaga kdorkoli, demokracija ni v nobeni nevarnosti, ne v ZDA in ne v Sloveniji.

Osemdesetletnica ge. Frances Galič
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - Prišla je jesen — osemdeseta bogata jesen Frances Galičeve. In kako hitro so minula leta, saj smo še včeraj bili mladi, še včeraj plesali, peli... Pa kaj moremo, ko časa ni moč ustaviti ali preslepiti, saj je v cer-
kvenih krstnih knjigah napisano, da se je slavljenka Frances rodila 21. septembra 1912 v Milwaukeeju.
Piše tudi, da se je rodila slovenskih staršev, matere Frančiške, rodom iz Šmarjete pri Novem mestu, in očeta Martina Žužka iz Mokronoga. V zakonu se jima je rodilo šest otrok. V najlepših letih je Bog poklical k sebi očeta Martina in tako nehote prepustil vzgojo in oskrbo materi Frančiški. K sreči je bilo par otrok, med njimi slavljenka Frances, že zaposlenih in sta tako pomagali materi iz denarne stiske in družinskih skrbi.
Življenjski prazniki so vedno radostni, a po malem tudi žalostni dogodki v našem življenju. Žalostni predvsem zato, ker nas spominjajo na hitro bežeča leta. Radostna pa je slavljenka Frances, ko ji življenje odkriva spoznanje, da je še kar pri dobrem zdravju, de-
Milwauski »Uspeh« vabi na koncert
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - Na povabilo milwauškega pevskega zbora »Uspeh«, bo v nedeljo,
4.	oktobra, ob treh pop., v veliki dvorani p. Lovrenca Groma fare sv. Janeza Evangelista pevski koncert, na katerem bo nastopil znani tenorist iz Clevelanda, Ed Kenik, ki ga bo spremljal prav tako clevelandski ansambel Don Slogarja. Po koncertu bo prosta zabava s plesom. Vstopnina je $10. Vsi ljubitelji slovenske pesmi vabljeni!

lavna in vesela svojih prijateljev in prijateljic.
Čas in leta hitro tečejo in večkrat v življenju se nam dogajajo stvari, lepe in žalostne, ki jih ne razumemo. Tako je, da namesto tega, da bi slavili v veselju Frančiškin rojstni dan, se je morala v bolnišnici sv. Jožefa podvreči komaj dva tedna pred rojstnim dnevom srčni operaciji, med katero so ji dali mali, žlahtni strojček, »pacemaker« imenovan. Tako ji zdaj pomlajeno srce kar pravilno bije. In tako bo, upajmo in molimo, tudi še leta in leta.
Ge. Francki Galič, ženi našega večdesetletnega zvestega milwauškega dopisnika Lojzeta Galiča voščimo k njenemu visokemu življenjskemu jubileju prijateljske čestitke v želji, da bi ji Bog naklonil še vrsto zdravih let ter trdnega, mirnega srca in zadovljnega življenja v krogu družine z možem Lojzetom, sorodniki in vsemi številnimi prijatelji in prijateljicami!
Skupnost Loyola
CLEVELAND, O. - Vsaka doba ima svoje posebnosti. V gotovem času Bog izbere osebe, da vodijo ostale po pravi poti. Taka izredna oseba je gotovo Mati Terezija, katera rešuje najbolj pozabljene in zavržene. Vsak dan na novo bi se morali Bogu zahvaliti za to ženo, kateri so vsa vrata odprta, vsak pa se čuti srečnega, če ima možnost jo srečati.
V Sloveniji je nova redovna skupnost: Skupnost Loyola. To je še mlada skupina deklet, katere so se prvič pred g. nadškofom 1. januarja 1988 podarile Bogu. Slovesne zaobljube pa so storile 1. januarja 1991 v stolnici v Ljubljani, da so se dale popolnoma na razpolago Kristusu v Cerkvi. Izrekle so posebne obljube pokorščine Kristusu v Cerkvi in tudi čistosti, uboštva. To je skupina 21 deklet, v starosti okrog 28 let, katere so bile že večina po službah, a so svoje delo pustile, da 'ahko pomagajo v pastorali, več pa jih je odšlo še naprej na študij v Rim. Imajo tudi že 20 novink, ki se pripravljajo na novi sprejem.
Njihov samostan je v Mengšu, kjer so pred leti živele Karmeličanke in so se selile v Soro pri Medvodah. Voditeljica te skupine je dejala, da je to seme tolikih mučeniških smrti med in po drugi svetovni vojni. Ko so premišljevale, kako
bi narodu najbolj koristile, jim je prišla naproti misel, da le v skupnosti je moč, posameznik se hitro zgubi. Po dobrem premisleku in pogovorih z nadškofom in duhovniki, se je oblikovala ta skupina.
Ko smo potovali po Sloveniji, smo nekaj teh sester srečali in tudi one so se nam pridružile na Brezjah ter z nami preživele dan na Voglu in v Bohinju. Za slovo, pred odhodom so nam prinesle simbolični mali kruhek na zelenem lipovem listu s posvetilom: Hvalite Gospoda, ker je dober, ker vekomaj traja Njegovo usmiljenje! ter poslovilno pismo voditeljice s. Ivanke, ki se glasi:
»Dragi Slovenci iz Amerike!
Bogu globoko hvaležne za srečanje z Vami, bi Vam rade darovale nekaj teh skromnih in preprostih besed z naše zemlje, za katere ste nas mnogi prosili. Naj Vam damo kaj napisanega o naši redovni skupnosti, Skupnosti Loyola.
Ob vsem, kar ste nam povedali in zaupali o Vašem življenju, o trpljenju, o žrtvah, o vaši zaupni molitvi, o taborišču, o vaših otrocih, študiju, svetu in kulturi, smo bile najprej globoko ganjene in potrjene v veri, da na različnih koncih zemlje nosimo v srcu isto Ljubezen Boga Očeta iu Sina in Svetega Duha, v katerem je bil ohranjen naš narod, vsak izmed nas za večno življenje. Posebej tisti, ki so darovali svoje življenje in molij0 pri Bogu za nas, da bi tudi mi, čeprav ne skozi mučeništvo,
ampak skozi vsakdanje trpi)6' nje, skrbi, delo, žrtve, darovanje, medsebojno ljubezen, pr>' romali k Bogu in spoznali kakšno ljubezen nam je skazal Oče, ko nam je daroval življC' nje in smrt in vse, kar smo pm* jeli iz Njegove roke. Da bi se mogli enkrat vsi srečati in najt* pri Bogu — to je naša vera, naše upanje in ljubezen.
Mi smo romale do Marij6 peš na Brezje, vi pa ste romal* do nje veliko dlje čez morj6> čez izgnanstvo, čez smrt, 2eZ trpljenje — zato v vašem živ' Ijenju slutimo podobo Vstaj6' nja za naš narod v tem Času stiske. Večkrat sem slišala kO' ga od vas omenjati Jožefov0 zgodbo iz svetega pisma. Iz' gnanstvo ne sprejemate ko| sužnost, ampak kot milostnl božji dar, potreben pred B°' gom za Njegov odrešenjskina' črt.
Zelo pretresljivo je vided’ kako se razumete med seboj’ kako ste si pomagali, kako ^ dite potrebno pripravo za ° hod v svet. Vi, ki ste okus* kaj pomeni biti iztrgan iz sl venske zemlje, nam danes i° vorite, da smo res samo pop niki na tej zehilji, ki nam J darovana za naše romanj ' Morda šele ob vas glob J umevamo, kakšen dar, da J ’ da smo tu in kakšno nost nosi vsak izmed naS , prihodnost našega naro ’ tudi zato, ker vi ne morete veti tu.	.

Župnija Rojstva Gospodovega v San Franciscu je še pri življenju
SAN FRANCISCO, Kalif. — Pod istim naslovom ste čitali m°j dopis v Ameriški domovini v marcu lanskega leta. Letos Ponavljam: delavnost župljanov v raznih krožkih ter boljša udeležba pri nedeljskih slovenskih in hrvatskih mašah je spet odstranila bojazen ukinitve vsaj za eno leto. Letos sta pač bili ukinjeni v našem mestu dve drugi župniji. Lepa je udeležba pri uedeljski slovenski maši (od 60 do 70), ki je zdaj ob devetih z ubranim slovenskim zborovim in tudi solo petjem. Angleške maše pa nimamo več odkar je umrl Clarence Sever. Udeležba Je bila slaba.
Na praznik Marije Pomoč-n'ce smo imeli po slovenski uiaši pete litanije Matere božje kakor navadno vsako leto enkrat v maju, nam v veliko vese-ie in Mariji v zahvalo. Moški Pevskega zbora in g. žup-n'k so kleče pred oltarjem — *n z njimi tisoči slovenskih mu-encev v nebesih — klicali Ma-dj° z najlepšimi imeni, ostali el zbora na koru in verniki v Cerkvi smo pa z zaupnim pobijanjem »Prosi za nas!« in 1 dodatnimi kratkimi pesmica-uu Prepevali kot nekoč v do-bvini in v begunskih taboriščih.

™ sc ^edni na kranjskem hribi
^ LjubiU5tarSičevi iz MenSši ■lani, smo imeli v naš
cerkvi veliko slovesnost nove maše. Novomašnik č.g. Janez Šuštaršič (zdaj »Father John«) je študiral bogoslovje v Italiji, v Argentini in v Minnesoti. V Duluthu je bil 7. junija 1952 posvečen v mašnika. Prvo slovesno mašo je pel v naši cerkvi
15.	junija 1952. V več krajih Minnesote je uspešno deloval za dušni in telesni blagor njemu izročenih župljanov, ki so ga spoštovali in vzljubili.
Svojo 40-letnico mašništva je Fr. John praznoval v njegovi sedanji župniji na Aurori, Minn. Te slovesnosti se je udeležila tudi slavljenčeva sestra Dora Šimenc in njen mož Aleš (naš dolgoletni organist). Druga sestra, Marija Kozina, ki živi v Stocktonu, pa zaradi moževe bolezni ni mogla priti.
Priljubljenemu č.g. župniku Šuštaršiču želimo zdravja in uspeha še mnogo let. Naš cerkveni pevski zbor pa zasluži pohvalo, saj v odsotnosti organista in brez orgelske spremljave zelo lepo zapoje Bogu in Mariji v čast ter nam slovenskim vernikom v veselje in duhovno pomoč.

V soboto, 5. septembra, sta naša zvesta slovenska župljana Franci in Katica Pečavar oddala svojo hčerko Marijo v zakon dobremu katoliškemu ženinu. Jerry Lehane je priljubljen v njegovi župniji sv. Cecilije kakor tudi med drugimi v njegovi kleparski stroki. Marija je izobražena v bančni stroki, je zanesljiva in spretna, ima zelo odgovorno službo v KWR banki z visokim kreditom. Poleg tega pa tudi z veseljem in ponosom sodeluje v slovenski verski organizaciji na Kranjskem hribu.
Njena mati, župljanom dobro znana Katica (r. Nemanič), članica našega cerkvenega pevskega zbora, je srečno prestala drago operacijo (»liver transplant«) in se zdaj zdravi doma. Radi se je spomnimo v molitvi in upamo, da bo kmalu spet mogla redno prihajati med nas.
Spet se nam je v cerkvi pridružila vedno živahna, mladostna in med ameriškim ženskim svetom dobro znana, 93-letna Rose Scoff, ki je bila več mesecev odsotna zaradi poškodbe v roki. Želimo ji še lepo vrsto veselih in zdravih let.

Ob prvi obletnici svobodne države Slovenije je slovenski rod v San Franciscu z navdušenjem in ponosom izrazil svojo slovensko zavest. Mestni župan Frank Jordan je proglasil nedeljo, 28. junija, za »Slovenian Day in San Francisco«.
Pri slovenski maši je cerkveni pevski zbor pod vodstvom Aleša Šimenca in ob njegovem spretnem orglanju povzdignil cerkveno slovesnost z dovršenim prepevanjem naših prelepih prazničnih pesmi. Med številnimi verniki smo videli tudi narodne noše. Po slovesni sv. maši je bila pogostitev v cerkveni dvorani, kjer so naše radodarne gospodinje spet pokazale svojo spretnost in iznajdljivost. Predsednica Cerkvenega odbora Beverly Jackson nas vselej razveseli s svojim prijetnim nastopom in z nadvuše-njem za slovenstvo, za kar smo ji iz srca hvaležni. Brez nje in njene sestre Barbare Chiodo bi naša župnija gotovo že »umrla«.
Popoldne je bila velika slovesnost obletnice Slovenije v Slovenski dvorani na Kranjskem hribu, kjer je poleg drugih slovenskih popevk veselo in mogočno zadonela tudi slovenska državna himna v nabito polni dvorani. Tudi otroci so lepo zapeli nekaj slovenskih pesmic pod vodstvom Diane Fir. Slovenske narodne noše so bile častno zastopane. Tudi Slovenci iz oddaljenih krajev Kalifornije so bili navzoči.
Sproščeno veselo razpoloženje se je razvilo ob domačih slovenskih dobrotah, s katerimi so naše spretne kuharice postregle navzočih 350 gostov. Veselica se je nadaljevala do večera ob šaljivkah, godbi in plesu — kot nekoč v domovini ob veselih slovenskih prireditvah. Bog živi ves slovenski rod!

besedilo, s katerim naj bi se pridružili drugim Slovencem z našo posvetitvijo Mariji, Kraljici Slovencev, ob Njenem prazniku 15. avgusta. Naš g. župnik Mihovilovich je že odletel v Istro na obisk njegovega bolnega brata. To posvetitev je z nami opravil njegov namestnik č.g. Ivan Šešo, profesor in duhovni vodja v semenišču Djakovo. Rojen je bil v Osijeku. Dobro govori slovenski in angleški, nemški, francoski, italijanski in še kaj malega v drugih jezikih, to poleg latinščine in grščine, torej približno tako kot naš Fr. John.
Hvaležni smo našemu župniku in č.g. Vlatkotu, da sta nam preskrbela za tri tedne tako dobrega namestnika. Fr. John nam je iz Kopra prinesel lepe pozdrave od škofa Metoda Piriha, ki še ni pozabil svojega obiska v San Franciscu julija 1987.
Pridite, obiščite našo edino slovensko cerkev na ameriškem zahodu in Brezjansko Mater božjo, katere slika je upodobljena na cerkvenem oknu! Slišali boste naše prekrasne slovenske pesmi v čast Njenemu Sinu in zahvalo Njej, milostni Kraljici Slovencev.

Pa tudi smrt je kosila med nami. V aprilu je umrla 102-letna Vica Cukrov, dobro poznana na Kranjskem hribu.
V maju je v Daly Cityju podlegel raku Slovenec Milan Hoja, ki bi lahko še živel nekaj desetletij. Med Slovenci je bil dobro znan po izdelavi pristnih kranjskih klobas. Prijetno se je razgovarjati z njegovo ženo-vdovo Olgo in njunima hčerkama. Milanova sestra Silva por. Vining v San Mateju še vedno rada bere, kar je slovenskega. Zlasti ji ugaja mesečnik Ave Maria.
Prezgodaj in po hudem trpljenju nam je 23. junija za rakom umrl Clarence Sever. Kot 16-letni študent je 1. 1944 prišel v naše župnišče in mu je Fr. Vital Vodušek bil kot oče. Njegov rodni oče mu je umrl v starosti komaj 52 let zaradi prenapornega dela v rudniku. Clarence je opravljal službo cerkovnika in obenem obiskoval šolo. Tudi njegova mati je prišla v župnišče in je nekaj let opravljala gospodinjske posle.
Clarence je želel postati filmski igralec, a mu je bolj kazalo sprejeti službo učitelja angleščine in španščine v srednjih šolah. Bil je zelo natančen in vesten vzgojitelj. V prostem času je rad igral tenis in pomagal v cerkvi. Dva od njegovih
starejših bratov (Carl in Harold) sta še živa ter tudi edina sestra, redovnica Flavija. Carl je prišel iz Pennsylvanije, da je uredil vse potrebno za pogreb s pogrebno mašo, ki jo je daroval č.g. Mihovilovich v naši (Clarencu tako dragi) župni cerkvi. Pokopan je na novem vojaškem pokopališču.
Clarence je bil izvrsten pevec, skromen in priljubljen pri vseh, ki so ga poznali. Posebno veselje je imel z rožami. Visoko je cenil dnevno čitanje sv. pisma. Naj mu Bog bogato poplača zvesto delo za čast božjo in za obstoj naše župnije.
Užalostila nas je vest o nenadni smrti zavednega ameriškega Slovenca, velikega znanstvenika in našega prijatelja Jožeta Odarja v Clevelandu. Njegova blaga žena Albina, ki je po dolgoletnem trpljenju umrla pred dobrim letom, je bila naša draga Kozinova Albina. Radi smo jo imeli v San Franciscu. Vzljubili smo tudi njeno hčerko Heleno; tudi ona je bila nekaj časa med nami.
Gotovo pok. Jože in Albina skupno prosita v nebesih za blagoslov hčerki Heleni in sinu Tomažu, da bosta ostala zvesta idealom njunih staršev in da bosta v zdravju uspešno vršila delo v njunem mnogo zahtevajočem diplomskem poklicu prava in kemije. Radi Vaju imamo prijatelji ob Zlatih vratih (»Golden Gate«) Pacifiškega oceana!

našli pot do obličja Boga. Radi pa bi bili povezani, da tudi otroci ne bi pozabili maternega jezika in tako ne prečrtali korenin svoje povesti življenja. Za nas pa je posebna moč umeti, da ne živimo le tu na majhnem koščku slovenske zemlje, ampak, da se s tako različnih krajev sveta obračamo k Bogu in smo povezani med seboj kot isti narod, poklican, da bi živel skupnost z drugimi narodi in tako pričeval za čas, ko nas bo Oče združil.
Zahvalimo se Vam za čas, ko smo bili lahko skupaj, ostajajo nam žive podobe iz vaše pripovedi, iz vašega življenja. Hvala vam, ker ste nas imeli za vredne deliti z nami Vaše življenje. Želimo ohraniti vse, kar ste nam zaupali, pa čeprav le v tako krhkih posodah našega življenja. Bogu hvala za vse, posebej za skupnost, za prijateljstvo, ki ga je On začel
12. septembra so bivali med nami mladi plesalci ene najboljših folklornih skupin v Evropi, člani AFS France Marolt. Ansamblov ustanovitelj France Marolt (1891E1951) je kot študent ljudske glasbe, pevovodja in ustanovitelj ljubljanskega akademskega pevskega zbora istega imena, posvetil ves svoj čas ljudskim pesmim, ki so tonile v pozabo.
Leta 1934 je ustanovil zavod za raziskovanje narodnostne glasbe, kar je vodilo do plesne skupine, ki ni samo predstavljala, ampak na podlagi novih odkritij ljudske folklore u-stvarjala slovenske plese. France Marolt je tako upal, da bo na ta način ohranjena ljudska umetnost, ki bo ostala trajni del slovenske kulturne identitete.
Po njegovi smrti leta 1951, je glasbeno vodstvo prevzela njegova žena Tončka (1894— 1988). Njena priredba plesov Gorenjske je postala osnova slovenskih folklornih oblik. Njena sestra Marija Šuštar * V
med nami, čeprav smo si bili še pred kratkim nepoznani. Nesite v Ameriko pozdrav Vašim možem, ženam, kateri niso bili tukaj, Vašim družinam, Vašim otrokom.
Spominjali se Vas bomo v molitvi, vsak dan darujoč življenje Bogu in Cerkvi po g. nadškofu za vse, kar so največje potrebe slovenskega naroda in drugih narodov. Prosite za nas tudi Vi, da bi Bog delo, ki Ga je po nas nevrednih začel, mogel zaradi svoje dobrote in usmiljenja nadaljevati in dopolniti.
Hvala Vam, ker ste nam pomagali spoznati Kristusa, ki se odslej želi še močneje po nas razodeti zaradi Vašega življenja.
Bog Vam povrni in srečno pot! Bog Vas varuj!
V imenu sester Skupnosti Loyola Ivanka Hosta, i.r.«
Te sestre so res nekaj posebnega. Iskreno ljubijo Boga in se mu prepuščajo, da On vodi njihovo pot. Med njimi je tudi diplomirana zdravnica, katera je šla še na nadaljni študij, da bi lahko delala med ljudmi: Za življenje! Imajo pa tudi težave, ker nobena med njimi nič ne zasluži, le delajo za bližnjega ali študirajo. Pred odhodom smo še zbrali malo pomoči. Morda bi se jih kdo še spomnil s kakim darom, kar bom podpisana oddala pred prazniki. Hvala že vnaprej!
Marica Lavriša
(1904—1988) je do poznih let ostala edina voditeljica in učiteljica v skupini.
Od začetka do danes je skupina France Marolt predstavljala slovenski folklorni značaj doma, po Evropi in Združenih državah ter Kanadi (1983) in si zaslužila mnogo nagrad in priznanj. Njihovi celovečerni programi izražajo umetnostno in tehnično čistočo ljudske dediščine.
Leta 1985 je profesor Mirko Ramovš prevzel vodstvo. Na podlagi lastnega študija slovenske folklore, kot sodelavec Marije Šuštar, je preuredil program, ki sedaj obsega vse osnovne karakteristike posameznih slovenskih pokrajin. Nove glasbene priredbe so delo Juliana Škrajnarja.
Dne 10. septembra v dvorani Brezmadežne in 12. septembra pri Mariji Pomagaj tu v Torontu smo to skupino občudovali in doživeli izreden kulturni večer. Spoznavali smo slovensko ljudsko dušo, kakor je napovedal Ramovš. Starc narodne pesmi, podane v pristnih krajevnih narečjih, so nas peljale v rodno domovino. V plesih so oživele navade in običaji naših prednikov.
Plesalci, fantje in dekleta, oblečeni v avtentične, umetniško izdelane stare noše, so nas vodili od vzhoda do zahoda, izpod Triglava v Trento, Rezijo in Tržaško, v Ziljsko dolino na Koroškem, v Belo krajino čez Dolenjsko na Štajersko in v deželo preko Mure... Vse tod so živeli pridni in veseli ljudje. Iz stoletja v stoletje so se ohranjali iz svoje domače zemlje in zanjo živeli z isto pošteno in zdravo dušo, ki je znala peti, vriskati, jokati pa tudi moliti.
Ko smo odmaknjeni od mestnega vrvenja sledili predstavi, smo zaslutili lepoto domače zemlje kot je nekdaj bila, tisto
pristno domačo preprostost, trajnost, večno mladost, valovanje iz časa v čas kot valovanje žitnih polj v Beli krajini, Prekmurju, pastirsko pesem v gorah nad Sočo pod Triglavom. Vrstile so se zgodbe o Kresni noči v Beli krajini, o ohceti v Prekmurju, o sejmih in vaških veselicah, o gosposkih meščanih in gorjancih v cokljah, in še in še...
Za vso to pestrost in umetniško predstavo so plesalci prejeli hvaležno priznanje.
Upamo, da so fantje in dekleta skupine France Marolt imeli med nami prijetno bivanje. Sprejeli smo jih z veselim in prijateljskim srcem. Po enomesečnem obisku pri Slovencih v Združenih državah in v Kanadi jim ob vrnitvi v Ljubljano želimo mnogo novih uspehov in novega snidenja!

Kardinal dr. Jakob Missia
(NADAUEVANJE IN KONEC)
Eden najimenitnejših slovenskih teologov in filozofov, od ustanovitve (1918) član slovenske Univerze, rektor (1922-1923) ter doslej edini Slovenec član Papeške akademije sv. Tomaža Akvinskega, dr. Aleš Pšeničnik, pa je Missia ocenil takole:
»V javnosti knez, v cerkvi škof, nied ljudstvom oče, med duhovščino prijatelj! Ljubil in Podpiral je tudi redove in sa-otostane. Zavedal se je, kako velikega pomena so katoliški redovi za razcvet verskega in nravnega življenja med Ijud-stvom. Klical je redovnike in sestre.

Buditelj slovenske katoliške zavesti
Potem ko je ljubeznivo odklonil vabilo mariborskega stolnega kapitlja, številnih dekanov in župnikov, naj pride za škofa v Maribor — to se je zgodilo po smrti lavantinskega škofa dr. Jakoba Maksimilijana Stepišnika, 28. junija 1889 — je bil dr. Jakob Missia po trinajstih letih škofovske službe v Ljubljani, 12. decembra 1897, imenovan za goriškega nadškofa. Ni dvoma, da je njegovo bivanje in razgibano delovanje v ljubljanski škofiji korenito poseglo v versko, narodno in kulturno življenje slovenskega naroda in zapustilo globoke sledove.
V Gorici je postal .naslednik nadškofa, rojaka Alojzija Zorna, ki je vodil goriško nadškofijo od 1883 do svoje smrti 1897. Že pred svojim prihodom v Gorico je bil ljubljanski knezoškof spričo svojega odličnega rimskega študija blizu tudi Italijanom. Z doslednostjo in občutkom za ubranost, za sozvočje želja, potreb in dejanskih možnosti, se je Missia že tedaj odlikoval z odločnim premagovanjem največjih težav. To je dokazal z naravnost

17 let je že minilo od tistega žalostnega dneva, ko si odšla od nas za vedno.
Ostali so nam lepi spomini na Tebe in tiste srečne ter krasne čase, ko smo bili vsi skupaj.

Misijonska srečanja in pomenki
959. Gospa Cveta Mahnič, ki že več let v
Lethbridgu, Alberta, v Kanadi, poglablja misijonsko ljubezen med tamkajšnjimi rojaki, potem ko je to vlogo prevzela od dobre gospe Antonije Fylypczuk, je 11. septembra poslala tole pismo, priložila lep ček nabirke in seznam darovalcev:
»Prišel je čas, ko se tudi v Lethbridgu spomnimo na misijone. Pošiljamo naše prispevke v upanju, da bo tudi ta skromna vsota kaj pomagala.
Imenovani so se tudi letos z veseljem odzvali. Na naše misijonarje in laike se spomnimo tudi v molitvah. V teh težkih časih, ko so potrebe tako velike, naj jim Bog da moč, da bi še naprej vztrajali in z upanjem gledali v bodočnost.
Gdč. Sonji Ferjan se zahvaljujem za pozdrave in Vam za pismo. Naj omenim še, da je ga. A. Fylypczuk trenutno na obisku v Sloveniji.
Tukajšnji člani MZA pošiljajo lepe pozdrave, saj Vas nekateri osebno poznajo.
Vdana Cveta Mahnič.« Darovali so tile rojaki: Antonija Boh $50.
Po $40: Ludvik in Danica Pahulja, Pavle Kveder.
Po $30: Jože in Fani Dimnik, Štefan in Anica Dimnik, Janez in Cveta Mahnič.
Po $25: Zora Dimnik, Jerry in Ivanka Vidmar.
Po $20: Margareth Bolte-žar, Anton in Ivanka Dimnik, Frank in Cecilija Kaplan, Ernest in Anna Rogan, Frank in Ivanka Šifrer, Štefan in Emilija Zrim.
Po $10: Mirko in Tončka Ambrožič, Olga Novak, Marija Previsich, Anton in Anna Toplak.
Po $5: Ivan in Johanna Hribar, Štefka Špenko.
Vsem zvestim sodelavcem in sodelavkam mnogih let iz far-marskega središča Lethbridge v Kanadi se za njih ponovni izraz misijonske ljubezni lepo zahvaljujemo. Spominjam se prvih srečanj med njimi med 1952 do 1959, ko so vsi zelo skromno živeli, niso imeli povečini še svojih avtomobilov in
povsod so jokali doraščajoči otroci novih slovenskih emigrantov, ki so pionirali v zahodni Kanadi.
Med njimi jih je več, ki vsako leto tu in tam še posebej pošljejo kak dar in nekateri so ali še vzdržujejo domačega bogoslovca v misijonih ali slovenskega v Ljubljani.
Nikdar nisem pozabil doživljaja, ko sem ravno obiskoval mlado slovensko družino in ob odhodu iskal, kam so položili moj klobuk. No, ko so dvignili otroka, so ga našli pod njim. Prav temeljito ga je ‘pope-glal’. Zravnali smo ga in spet je služil za nadaljnje misijonska pota v Calgary, Vauxhall, Edmonton, Edson, pa na jug v Trail in Osooyos in v Vancouver, Nanaimo in Port Alberni. Bilo je težko, a vendar tako lepo in tolažilno.
Blagajnik Štefan Marolt
je sporočil nedavno tele darove iz Clevelanda:
Ga. Lenka Oven Hiserman iz San Matea, Kalif., za doma-čeva bogoslovca obnovljeno vzdrževalnion $300.
Boris in Kristina Resman $25. Neimenovana za dva obroka mesečnega daru za o. Rozmana $60 in $40 za sv. maše.
Rudi in Tončka Klammer za vse $50. Anna Tomc $20 in Anton M. Lavrisha $10.
Neimenovana iz Ohia je poleg $1000 za skupino sester Loyola v Sloveniji poslala za njeno prijateljico iz mladih let v taborišču, s. Bernadette Jurkovič na Slonokoščeni obali $500 in še $500 za vse, kjer so potrebe največje. Darovala je skupno $2000. Prosi misijonarje in misijonarke molitve za njeno zdravje in zdravje v njeni družini.
Štefan in Josephine Zorc iz Rye, Colo., sta poslala $20 za »sestre v Mengšu«, ki jih bomo skušali najti. Pravita, da sta večkrat kaj poslala in se je izgubilo.

A TRUSTED TRADITION FOR 85 YEARS
»V prvi polovici junija ste mi na prošnjo poslali naslov o. Cukaleta. Po naročilu brata Ludvika iz Brazilije sem mu poslal precejšnjo vsoto denarja v priporočenem pismu, na poslani naslov, in ga obenem prosil, naj me po prejemu pisma obvesti, da je v redu prejel. Pred leti je bilo pismo s čekom vred ukradeno in sem imel velike sitnosti, preden sem dobil denar vrnjen in na novo v drugem čeku poslan. Zdaj bo kmalu tri mesece, pa še nisem prejel nobenega glasu od njega. Če mu ponovno pišem in pošljem priporočeno pismo, nisem gotov, če in kdaj bi dobil odgovor. Se zdi, da imate Vi z njim bolj redne in gotove stike. Prosil bi Vas, ko mu s svoje strani spet pišete, da ga obenem vprašate, ali je tisto moje junijsko priporočeno pismo prejel. Če ga ni, potem bi začel postopek na pošti in banki. Vas prisrčno pozdravlja Stanko Ceglar, SDB.«
O. Cukaletu smo v tej zadevi pisali. Možno je, da je bil poleti kje drugje. Upajmo, da je zdrav. Misijonskim prijateljem pa svetujemo, da ne pošiljajo 'na svojo roko čekov v misijone, ko imamo v MZA velike izkušnje in stalno pošiljamo na vse konce sveta. Pa se še kaj skazi. Nedavno je g. Knez na naši banki v Clevelandu poizvedoval o čekih, ki po božičnem razpošiljanju vsem misijonarjem niso bili banki vrnjeni. Ugotovili smo, da so medtem 500-dolarske čeke zamenjali misijonarji gg. Pačnik in Šomen ter s. Kavčič; zastarel je oni g. Grošlja, ki je bil vrnjen in novi ček zanj izdan; sestri A. Burger in M. Karnič-nik pa čeka še nista vnovčili. Na letošnjem srečanju misijonarjev in misijonark v Stični so o tem govorili in svetovali, da bi se okrog božiča ne pošiljali čeki, češ da je pošta tako preobremenjena in negotova. To bomo skušali upoštevati, dasiravno je to mnenje nekaterih, medtem ko drugi vedno kmalu prejem vsake pomoči potrdijo. To pač za visi v
mnogočem , s kom imamo opraviti. Kak o. Kos še nikdar ni imel s čeki težav, pa jih verjetno precej dobi. Najtežje je, če se misijonar premika, ali odide na oddih, pa tega preje ne pove. Ko smo pred leti vprašali brata Karla Kerševana v Afriki, kako da čeka že dve leti ni zamenjal, je odgovoril: »Sem ga vsako leto dobro spravil in upal, da bo sčasoma več vreden, ko ga bom zamenjal.« Ček zastara v nekaj mesecih. Šest mesecev je najdaljša doba, ko banka še počaka. Sicer pa banke tožijo, če čeki niso zamenjani kmalu, da imajo veliko težav s knjigovodstvom in v enem primeru so nam rekli, da nam ne bodo več mednarodnih čekov izstavljali, če ne bodo misijonarji kmalu ček vnovčili.
V ‘Družini’ je bil objavljen članek o biseromašniku, lazaristu Francetu Jerebu, ki je bil na Kitajskem naš dekan. Še vedno pastirsko dela, kolikor more, dasi omenjajo, da mu oči malo nagajajo. V isti številki je tudi predsednica MZA Cleveland Marica Lavriša svoje misli o življenju rojakov v Ameriki povedala, kolikor se v kratkem da, na stavljena vprašanja novinarja. Lepo je o svoji veliki družini govorila, kako so vsi dozoreli v krščanski družini in ostali zvesti krščanskim izročilom in ljubezni do slovenske besede in tradicije.
Sedaj se poletje nagiba h koncu in poletni oddih je za nami. Prav je, da malo pregledamo, kako smo poletje preživeli in se povprašamo, če smo ostali zvesti svojim idealom. Ko se bliža‘misijonska nedelja’ pa morda tudi pretehtamo, koliko smo za naše misi-jonarje(-ke) letos žrtvovali. Morda je sedaj čas pohiteti in storiti še to in ono v to smer, ki je včasih, kot izkustvo dokazuje, pozabljeno ob raznih načrtih in vzhičenju poletnih dni.
