split up as a result of the partition of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is worthy of all attention.
Part of the confusion is reflected in this statement. The word should read Mag-yarization and not Germini-zation, since the border was not German, but Hungarian, hence the proper word: “Magyarization.”
C. A. .McArtney, an English historian and advisor to Lloyd George, in his manuscripts found in the archives of Oxford University invents and uses for the first time the term “Slovene/Wend” to describe these people in the Prekmurje, stating that “Wend” is the Hungarian-manufactured political term to describe these people, but “Slovene” is the term for their true ethnicity. These “Wend/Slovenes” people are the present Slo-vene/Wendish of Bethlehem, Pa.
These leaders, knowing full well the impact of their decision to set the borders in this manner, partitioned these ethnic brothers and sisters, so that some Prekmurje Slovenes would stay

in Hungary and their ethnic brothers and sisters would be part of the new Jugoslavia.
Why such a conscious splitting up of a culturally and linguistically united people into two different nationalistic and political groups?
Woodrow Wilson in his papers, found in the Library of Congress, stated that it would be a reasonable political expedient for the future peace of the Balkans to have these peace-loving people as a buffer between the Hungarians and the more aggressive Slavs of the new Jugoslavia.
Also, it would be politically sound to have Wends on the Hungarian side of the border and Slovenes on the new Jugoslavian side. Bear in mind that these people were uneducated peasants, unaware of either term, “Slovene” or “Wend,” but were aware of their ethnic connection by language and custom.
The new border literally split families. It was also well known that these “Wend/Slovenes” were a peace-loving, giving, and deeply religious people i uts which they carried to and maintained in America.

The formation of a sister city relationship between Bethlehem, PA, U.S.A., and Murska Sobota, Slovenia symbolically represents a natural destiny: finally, a restitution for these past indignities.
Now the citizens of Bethlehem know about their fellow citizens who worked so hard, along with them, to help make Bethlehem a good industrially prosperous city. Now the citizens of Bethlehem know about the political and ethnic tribulations these people suffered, sadly, without any awareness of their origins.
Now the citizens of Bethlehem have joined their Slovene/Wendish fellow citizens in the celebration this past June 8 of their day, “The Slovene Day.”
The families are now truly united.

Bob Dole and George V. Voinovich to Attend Slovenia Anniversary
Bob Dole, the Republican candidate for president this fall, and Ohio Governor George V. Voinovich will join the Slovenian community in celebrating the fifth anniversary of Slovenia’s declaration of independence on Tuesday, June 25, at the Slovenian National Home, 6417 St. Clair Avenue in Cleveland.
Dole has been a strong supporter of Slovenian independence and its democratization. During the past five years he has followed developments in Slovenia closely and regards Slovenia as a model for other Central and- Eastern European countries.
Dr. Karl Bonutti, Honorary Consul of Slovenia in Cleveland, informs us that Dole is preparing a major foreign policy statement for his appearance in the Slovenian National Home, focussing on recent presidential election in Russia and also referring to Slovenia and its positive course during the last five years. Given Dole’s prominence, his appearance and speech will receive national attention. More details will be in the local media in the coming days.
Next Tuesday’s celebration will begin with a symposium from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the National Home. It is open to the public. Speaking on the topic of “Slovenia: Past, Present and Future” will be Dr. Bogdan Novak, Dr. Carole Rogelj, Prof. Vinko Lipovec, Dr. Pavle Borštnik, and Slovene section editor Dr. Rudolph M. Susel. Ambassador Dr. Ernest Petrič also will take part and the moderator will be Rev. Frank Kosem, pastor of St. Jude’s Church in Elyria, Ohio.
Bishop A. Edward Pevec will give a mass of celebration for the people of Slovenia at 6 p.m. at the Slovenian National Home. Choral accompaniment will be by the Fantje na Vasi and Glasbena Matica.
The reception at which Bob Dole will be the principal speaker will take place at the Home from 7 to 9 p.m. Many local cultural groups will take part in the program. Tickets for the reception are $10 and are available at all of the Slovenian National Homes in the Cleveland area, the Polka Hall of Fame, AMLA Home Office, Tivoli Imports, or you can call Betty Rotar at 481-3187.

Freedom Issue
The July 4^ Freedom Issue of American Home newspaper will be printed in advance and mailed and delivered on Friday, June 28.
It will be an interesting edition saluting Cleveland’s 200lh birthday and highlighting some of the trials and tribulations of the early Slovenian pioneers and their contributions to the city, and their struggles to adopt to life in America.
These pathfinders and their offspring became a viable and significant part of in the forming of this country’s wonderful majestic mosaic.
The July 4th edition should be a collector’s item, printed on heavier paper with red and blue color highlights on the first and middle pages.

Jim’s Journal
By Jim Debevec
It was with interest I read Dr. Rudolph M. Susel’s article on the front page of this paper announcing Robert Dole and Ohio Governor George Voinovich will be at the Slovenian National Home on Tuesday, June 25^ to celebrate Slovenia’s fifth anniversary of their Declaration ofIndependence.
I have been paging through some of the past issues of the American Home newspaper to refresh my mind on the events leading up to Slovenia’s fight for freedom, and consequent events.
The American Home recapitulated some of these historic events on bond paper, and they look brand new, just like they were printed today. There were stories about how the “United Americans for Slovenia” was formed initially through the efforts of Attorney Charles Ipavec and Cleveland Yugoslav Consul General Matjaž Jančar who called an emergency meeting of leaders of Cleveland’s Slovenian community on June 30, at the Slovenian National Home. Jančar, who passed away May 6, 1996, was the first “Yugoslav” diplomat to resign from office and declare himself a “Slovenian.” He did it at that June 30th meeting in Cleveland in front of all those in attendance. He consequently was recalled and sent back home.
Anyhow, reading Joe Valencic’s report in the American Home “Freedom” edition of the Fall, 1992 he writes that in January, 1992 UAS (United Americans for Slovenia) contacts members of Congress to support Senator Robert Dole’s resolution for recognition of Slovenia.”
On Friday, April 10, 1992, after the United States gave official recognition to Slovenia, the UAS held a grand celebration at the Slovenian National Home with main guest speaker Ohio Governor George V. Voinovich.
On April 21 the UAS gave plaques and letters of Recognition to U.S. Senators John Glenn and Robert Dole, and (Congressman) Dennis Eckart at a Washington, DC reception, at which the American Home was not invited.
Anyhow, the point being made here is how fitting that
both Robert Dole and George Voinovich, who were in the vanguard and in total support of Slovenia during their entire year of struggle for U.S. recognition, will be guests at Slovenia’s 5th celebration at the very same Slovenian National Home on St. Clair where it all began and ended.
For the nostalgia buffs, here are some of the front page headlines in the major dailies at the time: “Independence campaigns put on hold in Yugoslavia” -Slovenians won’t give up quest for independence. -“Yugoslav Army Warns Slovenia.” From the Denver Post “Yugoslavs Batter Slovenia” - and finally “Yugoslavia agrees to demobilize troops in Slovenia” - “Yugoslavia army ordered back to barracks.” And in the American Home on April 9, 1992 a banner headline declared: “United States recognizes Slovenia.”
Yes, how quickly we forget the tragedy and heroic efforts of tiny Slovenia to stand up to Goliath Yugoslavia and declare their country a democracy.
A fifth anniversary. Yes, that seems about the right time to recall those courageous times and rekindle our pride in the nation of our forefathers.
Voinovich
wrong
Editor:
I read with some amusement your comments in the A.D. concerning Governor Voinovich’s outburst when he was instructed by the FAA not to take off in the plane while President Clinton was in the area. Your “three cheers” for Voinovich’s “moxie” was unbelievable.
The governor’s spoiled-child reaction to the FAA’s order makes one wonder about his true personality. Published statements such as: “If they (the Secret Service) shoot us down, they can. I’m going to tell them to go screw themselves O.K. I’ll take the responsibility. They can put me in jail, or whatever they want to do, but this is (expletive),” are very revealing about this man who aspires to national office.
Wouldn’t George be embarrassed if people sent clippings from the daily paper -which reported his remarks -to the Republican candidate who is considering George as a running mate?
How long would Ohio’s governor last as a potential candidate for V.P. of the U.S. of A.?
Sincerely yours,

Officers wanted to inspect the load for contaminated cattle which has been plaguing the British beef. Instead they discovered the cargo valued at some $4.2 million. Part of the shipment of 12 tons was intercepted in Calais. A second load was picked up in Dun-querque, along the English Channel.

Why Marriage is Good
for Your Health
Numerous studies have shown that married people are healthier than their unmarried counterparts. New research by sociologist Linda Waite, of the University of Chicago, explores why. The reasons include:
© Because they pool resources, married people tend to be better off financially, and that translates into	more
healthful	food,	safer
surroundings and other things that reduce stress.
© Because of their sense of obligation to each other, marrieds may be less likely to smoke, abuse alcohol or take other health risks.
© Couples usually monitor each other’s health habits and urge each other to seek medical help when a problem occurs.
© Spouses offer affection, a sympathetic ear and moral support in tough situations - all of which are thought to boost the immune system.

AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, JUNE 20, 1996
AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, JUNE 20, 1996
Merlot Wine from Goriška Brda Rated as Tops in Slovenia
From a field of nearly 1,300 wines, the 1992 Merlot from Goriška Brda’s Movia Estate Winery was crowned the Grand Champion in the red wine category at the 42nd annual Ljubljana International Wine Competition in May, leaving little doubt as to who the premiere wine-makers in Slovenia are today.
1,294 wines from 26 countries were sampled by 36 judges from 19 countries over a six day period in late May, with the Movia Estate emerging as the most awarded winery.
In addition to the Grand Competition honor for its
1992	Merlot release, the celebrated cellar of Mirko and Ales Kristančič won an unprecedented five gold medals: the winning wines were the 1995 Sauvignon Blanc, 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon, 1993 Chardonnay,
1993	Pinot Grigio, and its 1991 Izbrani Plodovi dessert wine. Silver medals were awarded to Movia’s 1994 Chardonnay, their 1992 red Bordeaux-style blend, and
1994	Rebula. Many of these wines are currently available in the United States.
The annual Ljubljana competition is quickly
gaining recognition as one of the most important wine events in the world, according to Borut Jerse, the President of the Paris-based International Federation for Wine Tasting and the head of administration for the Ljubljana Fair.
“The reason is simple,” explained Jerse. “Profes-
sionalism, rigorous observance of rules, and the best working conditions for judges. The judges are from every major wine-producing region in the world, thus ‘similar’ tastes do not prevail, and objectivity is achieved.
The Ljubljana Competition is one of only seven such international events sanctioned by the International Federation for Wine Tasting.
Other medal winners among wines currently available in the Cleveland area include the Vipava winery’s 1993 Chardonnay, 1994 Sauvignon Blanc, 1992 Merlot Barrique, and the 1994 Stoletna Penina Sparkling wine.
For more information about the Ljubljana Fair or about Slovenian wines, call (216)	269-8466.
