Manj 13 podpore ob strožjem nat
S primerno pazljivostjo in strožjim nadzorom bi bilo mogoča prihraniti letno' nad pol bilijona dolarjev.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Zvezni stroški za splošno javno podpiranje potrebnih so v drugi polovici lanskega leta bili zmanjšani za 62 milijonov, od tega eno tretjino v državi New York, ko so oblasti začele strožje in pazljivejše pregledovati prijave in iskati napake.
Zvezno tajništvo za zdravstvo, j prosveto in socialno skrbstvo, ki! je objavilo te podatke, je pouda- j rilo, da bedo morale državne u- j prave pazljivejše in strožje iz-! vaj ati predpise o javni pomoči, če bodo hotele dobivati pripadajoči delež iz zveznih sredstev v te namene.	I
Program za pazljivejše izva-, janje določil o podeljevanju jav-! he podpore so začeli izjavali Pred dobrim, letom. Njegov cilj je bil odstraniti napake in neopravičene prejemnike z javnih seznamov podpirancev. Računali so. da bodo prihranili okoli 1114 milijonov dolarjev državnih m zveznih . sredstev v tekočem proračunskem leti, ki se konča z letošnjim junijem.
V New Yorku so črtali s seznamov podpirancev 10.444 dru-žm, ki do podpor niso bile upravičene. V vsej deželi so v drugi polovici lanskega leta našli in brisali s podpornih seznamov 40,500 družin.
PO STARI POTI - Bivši francoski zun. minister Michel Jo-hert je bil znan po svojem uve-Ijavljanju napram ZDA v smislu degaullovske politike. V podporo svojih političnih ciljev je organiziral v Franciji posebno politično skupino, ki je baje dobila v javnosti kar precej podpore.

Pri zasliševanju o železniški nesreči v Zagrebu lani v avgustu, ko je bilo ubitih 153 ljudi, je strojevodja dejal, da je pred nesrečo pri vožnji dremal zaradi preutrujenosti.
ZAGREB, SRH. — Lani v avgustu se je v Jugoslaviji zgodila naj večja železniška nesreča, kar jih pomnijo. 'Ekspresni vlak je treščil v potniški vlak, pri čemer je bilo skupno 153 ljudi mrtvih. Preiskava je dognala, da sta bila nesreče kriva stroje vodja in njegov pomočnik. Obtožili so ju, da sta zakrivila hudo nesrečo zaradi zahikrnosti in nepazljivosti.
Pri sodni razpravi, ki se je začela ta teden, je strojevodja Nikola Knezevic priznal, da sta on in njegov pomočnik Stjepan Varga dremala med vožnjo tik pred nesrečo zaradi preutrujenosti. Nesreča se-je zgodila, ko je vlak drvel proti zagrebški glavni postaji.
“Midva sva enostavno dremala,” je dejal Knezevic in trdil, da tega ni preje pri preiskavi povedal, ker je hotel, da preiskava dožene stvarno stanje na železnicah.
Knezevic in Varga sta izjavila, da sta v lanskem avgustu bila nad 300 ur v službi, neka-

Ko se svobodni svet nahaja od zadnje svetovne vojne v svojem najtežavnejšem razdobju, so se Francozi itn- Italijani znašli v “vinski vojni”. Zdi se, da svet ni še prav doumel teže časa in ubira/svoj a vsakdanja pota tako v Ameriki kot v svobodni Evropi.
Francija in Italija sta poleg Španije naj večji pridelovalki vina v Evropi. V zadnjih dveh letih je bil pridelek izredno velik in v državah Skupnega trga je prišlo do prave “poplave vina”. Kar 2.6 bilijonov galonov ga je preveč in ne vedo kam z njim.
Ko so lani še lepili v Bor-deauxu na steklenice s slabšim vinom napise, ki naj bi
pričali o njegovi odlični kakovosti, se sedaj dogaja, kot so dognale oblasti, da na steklenice s kakovostnim vinom lepijo napise za navadno vino, ko kakovostnega ne morejo prodati. Za kakovostno vino namreč ni nobene podpore za prodajo, za navadno vino pa je 10% podpore.
Francozi se jeze in demonstrirajo proti uvozu cenenega italijanskega vina. Skupine jeznih vinogradnikov so uničile v skladiščih Marseillesa 450,000 galonov iz Italije uvoženega vina, velike količine so ga uničili tudi drugod.
Ko je pridelovanje grozdja
in s tem pridelek vina na-
rastlo tako v Franciji kot v Italiji in sta bili zadnji letini izredno obilni, je potrošnja vina v Franciji začela padati. Mladi rod se je okrenil od vina k pivu, Coca-Coli in drugim pijačam na zaprepa-ščenje francoskih vinogradnikov, ki trdijo, da “Francija brez vina ne bi bila več Francija!”
Pod pritiskom vinogradnikov v južni Franciji je vlada v Parizu ustavila uvoz italijanskega vina do 28. aprila, ko je v Bruxellesu določen sestanek poljedelskih ministrov Skupnega trga, ki naj bi te 'spore rešili. V Rimu so zagrozili, da bodo omejili u-voz deželnih pridelkov iz
Francije, če ta ne bo preklicala prčpovedi uvoza italijanskega vina. Zahtevali so poseben sestanek polj edelskih ministrov Francije in Italije ' komisijo Skupnega trga v Bruxellesu. Na tem sestanku spora niso mogli rešiti in je napovedan za prihodnji torek sestanek poljedelskih ministrov, ki naj konča to “vinsko vojno”, ki napravlja čudno neodgovoren in smešen vtis na odnose v Atlantski skupnosti držav v usodnem času, ko moč in ugled svobodnega sveta padata ob pomanjkanju trdnega vodstva in odločne volje, moč komunističnega sveta pa raste na vseh koncih sveta.

S. S.:
Portugalska tragedija
I.
Oči svobodnega sveta so te dni uprte v Portugalsko, kakor so bile svoječasno uprte v Čile. Portugalska se namreč, kakor kaže, spreminja v komunistično oporišče Sovjetske zveze, z vsemi posledicami za Sredozemsko kotlino, za Zahodno Evropo in ZDA. preko njih pa za ves svobodni svet. Po 40-letni desničarski Salazarjevi diktaturi Portugalska ni znala najti sredine, temveč drvi, spretno vodena po komunistični partiji, v levo skrajnost. Za razumevanje tega razvoja je prav, da kratko pogledamo nazaj v nedavno portugalsko zgodovino, zlasti zgodovino portugalske komunistične partije.
Medtem ko je španska KP vse do svojega poraza v španski revoluciji visoko kvotirala na moskovski partijski borzi, je portugalska KP takoj od svoje ustanovitev 1. 1921 ostala potisnjena v ozadje. Daši ustanovljena v popolni legali, ko je organizirala in izvedla tudi svoj prvi kongres leta 1923 in celo začela izdajati svoje glasilo 'O Comunista’, portugalska KP ni mogla zlesti na površje ter prva leta ni dosegla več kako do 2,000 članov.
Po desničarskem udaru 28. maja 1926 je portugalska KP morala izginiti v podzemlje. Salazar jo je praktično u-ničil. Skrivaje je ostalo n. pr. v Lizboni 50 partijcev, v O-portu 20 itd.
Po likvidaciji Bukharina leta 1928 ter po VI. mednarodnem komunističnem kongresu v Moskvi se je Stalin odločil poveriti vodstva partij v svobodnem svetu mladim komunistom. Na čelo portugalske KP je leta 1929 postavil 29-letnega mehanika Benta Antonia Goncalvesa, ki je takoj počistil portugalsko KP, ustanovil njeno mladinsko vejo in znova začel izdajati partijsko glasilo, tokrat pod imenom Avante.
Po Stalinovem ukazu je mladi Goncalves za portugalsko KP ukazal izvajati taktiko postopne revolucije, se pravi: najprej vreči desničarsko diktaturo, izpeljati demokracijo in iz te preiti v socialistično ditkaturo proletariata. Taktika ljudske fronte je postala geslo portugalske KP, kakor sta to leta 1933 storili španska in francoska KP. Pakt Hitler-Stalin leta 1939 je portugalski partiji veliko škodil, toda od 1943 naprej je spet izkoriščala zavezništvo zahodnih zaveznikov z Moskvo. Po vojni je s to taktiko nadaljevala kljub stalnemu bivanju v podzemlju in s svojim vodstvom večinoma izven Portugalske — v Moskvi. Na 20.. kongresu sovjetske partije leta 1956 je bila ta taktika komunističnih partij znova potrjena. Portugalska KP je bila takrat že pod vodstvom sedanjega vodje Alvara Cunhala.
Rojen 1913 v odvetniški družini je Cunhal preplezal vso lestev komunistične hierarhije: član partije je postal leta 1935, do 1940 je bil vodja mladinske veje, že kot član portugalskega CKKP. Leta 1961 je postal glavni tajnik portugalske KP, kar je še danes.
Taktično je portugalska partija pod njegovim vodstvom leta 1962 ustanovila tkm. “Lrente Patriotico de Liberacion Nacional” (LPLN) s sedežem v Alžiru, v katerega je zbrala koristna budala iz vrst socialistov, katoličanov, liberalcev, republikancev, monarhistov in drugih demokratov. Na vodstvu te “osvobodilne fronte” je bij najprej partijec Pedro Ramos de Almeida, za njim Humberto Delgado, ki je bil 1965 ubit. Lronta se je začela po uboju znotraj krhati ter se je organizacija razsula leta 1970.
Takoj zatem je portugalska KP ustanovila novo frontno organizacijo “Movimiento democratico portuges” (MDP), v kateri se ji je posrečilo združiti koristna budala iz socialistične stranke in iz vrst tkm. Narodnih kristjanov, oboje spet pod svojim partijskim vodstvom. Štiri dni po zrušitvi desničarske diktature, 29. aprila 1974, je zmagoviti general Spinola sprejel delegacijo MDP in njenim članom podelil ministrske položaje. Portugalska KP je tako sedela v portugalski viadi. Tehtnica političnega razvoja na Portugalskem se je tega dne prekucnila na levo, proti breznu komunistične diktature.
Vodja portugalske KP A.lvaro Cunhal je eden najzvestejših pripadnikov Moskve na svetu. Sodeloval je v španski revoluciij, zagovarjal pakt Hitler-Stalin, se strinjal z moskovsko taktiko po vojni, je privrženec osebnostnega kulta.	•
Na XXII. kongresu sovjetske partije leta 1966 je smel govoriti ter je takrar izjavil: “Sem star prijatelj ZSSR. Mi, portugalski komunisti smo vedno smatrali in še vedno smatramo Sovjetsko zvezo za našo drugo domovino.” Zagovarjal je sovjetsko invazijo Češkoslovaške, napadal na^Med-narodnem partijskem kongresu v Moskvi junija 1969 kitajske “krivoverce” in na kongresu zahodnoevropskih partij januarja 1974 v Bruslju izjavil: “V novi Evropi po varnostni konferenci kontrarevolucija na Vzhodu ne bo več možna.” ’

NEW YORK, koncem marca 1975. •— Podivjani standard (runaway), to je potrošništvo, je ustvaril v naši tehnološki družbi, predvsem v “zapadni”, duhovno praznoto, ki se odkriva v tragičnem nezanimanju ne le za človeške vrednote, ampak celo za gospodarske in popolnoma tehnične probleme svetovnega sožitja, in to ob tolikem govorjenju, da svet postaja enovit, in da v vzhodni družbi politična birokracija prevzema mesto me-nagerske tehnokracije. Tej drugi kratkovidnosti smo priča prav zdaj, ko stojijo narodi nepripravljeni ali pa le slabo pripravljeni pred vprašanji energije in okolja.
Res je, da skušajo pri nas v Ameriki po nepredvidenem na-grmadenju ljudi v mestih in obenem tragični odtujenosti in po domala neobstoječemu pokrajinskemu načrtovanju, najti protiutež v oživljanju starih občestev, “communities”, da bi tako zbližali ljudi in jih spet vključili v celotni družbeni proces. V takem svetu je Velika noč za nas omejena na slovensko etnično skupino, ki je tudi v novem svetu ohranila izročila, in je prav zaradi tega ohranjanja o-stala sama.
Prepričani pa smo, da je prava pot le v našo vrsto Velikih noči, če naj narodi najdejo pravšno nadaljevanje vsega tistega, čemuf smo rekli Zapad, kar nas je koncem koncev vezalo dva tisoč let in več z vsem, kar je bilo veličastnega in. tudi — zmot. Tako do neke mere o-hranjarno svet drobnih razkošij, pisanic in potic butaric in žeg-'ncv; mnogo pa je šlo v pozabo. Ne govorim iz sentimentalnosti, ampak iz spoštovanja do časa in njegovih patin, če manjkajo očr-nele stene starih cerkva, prameni sveč, ki so gorele preblizu zidov, utripanje oljenic, temne cerkvene ladje še pred jutrom s tihim žuborižem srebrnih zvončkov cb povzdigovanjih, pol ducata istočasnih maš v meniških cerkvah. Potem še “gremo božje grobe molit”, vstajenje, procesije po cestah, žegni, nebovi, zastave, glasna molitev, resničen praznik, ki je zajel vse.
Tako, čeprav že ugašajočo Veliko noč sem doživljal pred štirimi leti: Veliki četrtek v Rimu in Vstajenje v Atenah. Rimske cerkve so na Veliki četrtek zvečer nekakšni nedoločeni temni prostori, v katerih svetijo skupine sveč kot galaktide in le sem pa tja ožarijo robove baročnih obokov za zaslutenje razsežnosti. Po maši na Foro Traiano, ki jo je imel France Dolinar, je bila nepozabna pot po Piazza Navona, San Agostino, San Lorenzo in Lucina, Santa Trinita dei Monti. In Vstajenje v Atenski ruski cerkvi na Plaki blizu Hadrijanovega loka! Rim pa je ves prepleten z antiko; torej vsaj dva in pol tisočletne vezi. Gotovo, če bi prisluhnil, morda bi še ujel odjeke starih dram v akustičnih votlinah Dionizijeve-ga gledališča pod Akropolo, prav blizu ruske cerkve, ki so obravnavale prvinske človekove usode. V ruski cerkvi pa je bilo za ikonostasom kaj več kot Najsvetejše, tudi tisto, kar se
in veselih melodijah prav razpoloženi. Potem je nadaljeval dr. Kalan: .., vsi že težko pričakujemo Velike noči in pomladi. Od naj mlajših, ki bi se radi igrali v travi in na soncu, pa do naj-starejšega, Jožeta Škrabeta, ki je pred kratkm dopolnil 91 let. Da bo pomlad lažje dočakal, mu poklanjamo steklenico vinjaka iz tržaških tovarn. Upamo, da je v steklenki tudi nekaj alkohola iz slovenskih vinogradov. Ta naj slavljenca pogreje, dokler ne pride pomlad, ki je že za voglom .. . Pucovi bratje so po svoje pozdravili “preljubo pomlad”, potem sta Lucy Jelsevar in Marjanca Jenkova recitirali “Čar pomladi” in Jakopičevo “Ne čuješ, pomlad”:
Saj maj je, večeri so čisti in zlati,
lepo je hoditi med znanci in 'brati
in bajati z njimi o domu. in sreči,
posesti ob stari mizi doma,
kjer Sava poje, kot nekdaj igra
na strune mladosti, na strune i srca.. ■
Vse tri recitacije so bile'zvrhane pomladne topline. Sledila je igrica, ki jo je z naj mlajšimi n a š t u dirala Cirila Saksidova: Kosi. V posrečenih oblekicah in čudovito prikupno so igrali: Helenca Klesin (Marjetica), Jože Klesin (Kos), Marko Klesin, Dorothy Klesin in Ingi Zupančič (mladi kosi); četrti mladi kos je ostal v gnezdu, ker je bil bolan, to pa je bil Andrej ček Klesin.
Po kratkem odmoru, ki ga je zapolnila glasba na trakovih, ki nam jih vsfdej mojstersko odvija Ludvik Burgar, je prebral podpisani er t i c o Prežihovega
“Tabor” se zahvaljuje!
CLEVELAND, O. — Kako je človeku dobro pri srcu, ko vidi, da sad njegovega dela ni bil zaman. Slovenski rojak, rojakinja, ponosni smo, da smo mali del vaše veličine. Vam vsem, ki ste se odzvali klicu “Tabora” za družabni večer 5. aprila, izrekamo iz globočine srca; HVALA! Prosimo tudi, da nam oprostite, ko nismo mogli vsem postreči z večerjo. Tako velik obisk nas je vse resnično presenetil. Pogled na vas nam daje pogum, da nadaljujemo z našim delom.

H šCorotaumremu koncertu
CLEVELAND, O. — “Naša pesem je velik del slovenske kulture srca in ljubezni. To kulturo, srce in ljubezen poskušamo posredovati z našim delom s koncerti, z obiski in srečanji, da ogenj ljubezni do slovenstva ne ugasne. Ta ogenj, ki je tudi pri vas lani vzplamtel toliko src, mora goreti naprej. Zdaj vemo, kaj se je pri vas ob naši turneji zbudilo, obnovilo, začelo — in enako tudi pri nas. Vemo, da naša pot ni bila samo prijeten izlet, čez ocean in vrnitev — šop lepih pokrajinskih spominov, pbt nas je privedla do našega slovenskega človeka, do prijatelja...” Tako je za zad-
Voranca “Tri pisanke”. Potem je nie praznike pisal dirigent koro-
recitiral Dularja “Pomlad” Karel Klesin mlajši, Pucovi bratje pa so nam povedali Golarjevo “O zelenem Juriju”:
* In tako ves svet obide, mlado sonce s sabo nosi, rože nežne, zarje svetle za seboj po zemlji trosi.
Jože Vodlan in Vinko Burgar sta recitirala Murnovo “Pomladno romanco”, Helka Pucova je prebrala Kogojevo “Očnico”; vsi trije preizkušeni prosvetarji. Tone Jenko je občuteno prebral Zupančiča “Uvod v veselo pomlad”. Uro je zaključila Anči Babnikova s “Polžkom, ki nima nog”:- Vse vešče mojstre besede so rojaki, ki so napolnili dvorano, nagradili s ploskanjem; ploskanje naj mlajšim pa je veljalo tudi družina m: Babnikovim, Kiesinovim, Pucevim in Zupančičevim, ki nam s svojo pridf-nostjo in slovensko, zavednostjo pripravljajo nov naraščaj za dolgo let naprej. Pevovodja Franjo in Karel sta nam spet zaigrala na harmoniko. Potem smo še vsi skupaj zapeli slavljencu Jožetu Škrabetu. Seveda ne smem pozabiti na okusno kosilo in pecivo, ki nam so ga pripravili Bab-hikovi, da tako zaključijo krog, kakor pravi stara modrost: Zeb-ijico zadene v glavico, kdor veže koristno s prijetnim.

škega pevskega zbora Gallus g. Jožko Kovačič. Besede, ki so posvečene in namenjene vsem, posebno tistim, ki so se toliko prizadevali, da je do tega srečanja prišlo. Besede pevcem KOROTANA, ki so prvi kot društvo, kot kulturna skupina med nami z vso pomočjo in veseljem podprli idejo prihoda. “Ta ogenj, ki je lani vzplamtel toliko src, mora goreti naprej ...” Zdi se mi, da je visok prirastek mladine k zboru sad tega dela, tega ognja, ki mora ostati mogočna bakla zvestobe slovenstvu med nami tu po slovenskih naselbinah.
Pomnožen in pomlajen KOROTAN prireja svoj koncert pod vodstvom g. inž. F. Goren-ška. Uspehi, ki '-so jih lani pokazali ob raznih prilikah, so nam porok, da bo koncert na lepi kulturni višini, da bo njihov spomladanski koncert dolil novega ognja k slovenskemu u-stvarjanju in povezavi med nami. Kaj je lepšega kot pesem in če je ta pesem zapeta iz mladega srca, iz srca, ki ga tujina skuša odtrgati ali ga vsaj narediti brezbrižnega za vse, kar danes ni več nujno, kar ni v duhu mišljenja in materialističnega življenja.
“Pesem nas je privedla do našega slovenskega človeka, do iskrenega prijatelja .. .” Tako g. Kovačič. Naj bi nas pesem res vodila do slovenskega človeka, da vsakega in do vseh. Naj bi stkala vezi, da bi se 'srečali, ob petju in pesmi povezali, da bi bili resnično bratje ...
Del koncerta bo posvečen 30-letnici našega zdomstva, 30-let-nici naše naj večje narodne tragedije, ko smo bili kot danes Vietnam zabarantani za račune velikih. Ko je toliko slovenske krvi bilo prelite še po dneh, ko se je drugod svetovna morija že končala. V/ skromen spomin vsem tistim, ki so umirali v pre-
pričanju, da mora tudi za slovenski narod priti dan resnične svobode za vse, — se bo na tem koncertu oglasila pesem. Pesem v spomin, pesem hvaležnosti in priznanja.
“Studencev močnih, čistih) sem željan, rad bi napil se iz i senčnega korita . .tako nam j je kot v svoj testament zapisal] in v sveto navodilo zapel mladij pesnik Balantič, kot bi čutil, da! bo slovenska pesem vsem tistim,) ki bodo po letih vojne tavali po I svetu, resnično studenčnica, kij bo odžejala naše hrepenenje, na- ]
točila osvežujoče pijače za dni pred nami.

POMLAD
Orač zaustavil je plug, s trudno se roko prekrižal, škrjanec je zagostolel,
Bog se je zemlji približal.
Zemlja zorana drhti od sreče in pričakovanja, očetu se samo smeji, o žetvi bogati že sanja. . .
V zraku je nova pomlad, vozniki pokajo z biči, z zemljo vriska srce, kje cvetje je, naši dekliči?

Zopet nas preštevajo
FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Tisti, ki se prištevamo k rimsko-kato-liški veri, vemo, da je leto 1975 sveto leto. Škof iz Bridgeporta je v počastitev svetega leta odredil več akcij, ki naj bi pomagale poživiti versko življenje. Ena od teh akcij je tudi poziv vernikom, da ponovno potrdijo pripadnost Cerkvi, svoji škofiji in svoji fari. V ta namen so bili tiskani posebni obrazci — census cards — in razdeljeni vernikom vseh župnij hridgeportske škofije. Tudi pri nas smo jih
Dekleta Marijine družbe pri-ppravljajo spomladanski ples, ki bo v soboto, 26. aprila. Kar pridite in se boste prepričali, da smo približno taki kakor druge slovenske naselbine v ZDA. Nekateri lažje govorimo slovensko, drugi angleško, vsi skupaj se pa znamo prav po kranjsko zavrteti do zgodnjih jutranjih ur.

V Evropi opazujejo v zvezi v volitvami 1976 v ZDA sen. Kennedyja
BRUXELLES, Belg. — Tu je sedež NATO in Evropske go-dobili. 7 nedeljo, 9. marca, smo j spodarske skupnosti, kjer pazlji' bili pri vseh sv. mašah in v obeh ! vo zasledujejo politični razvoj v jezikih seznanjeni z namenom ; ZDA. Ko se javljajo vedno novi
škofove akcije. Poleg tega smo dobili navodila, kako izpolniti o-brazce.
Na kratko naj omenim, da so _ ti obrazci vsebovali poleg vpra- j šanj o splošnih osebnih podat-: kih tudi sedem posebnih vpra-šanj. Med temi zadnjimi je bilo I na 5. mestu tudi vprašanje, v1 katerem jeziku želijo posamezniki opravljati sv. spoved in poslušati druge obrede. Kakor sem kasneje zvedel, je bilo to vprašanje vstavljeno predvsem zaradi špansko govorečih vernikov, kateri se v večjem številu naseljujejo v naši škofiji, škof bi rad našel način, kako bi se dalo tudi zanje olajšati opravljanje verskih dolžnosti. Seveda smo tudi pripadniki drugih narodnosti imeli priliko izraziti svoje želje v tem oziru z odgovorom na omenjeno vprašanje. Vse to se mi je zdelo potrebno povedati zaradi tega, ker je pisec članka v AD pod gornjim naslovom 25. marca 1975 skušal vso akcijo prikazati kot neko glasovanje, katerega je organizirala naša fara z namenom, da bi ugotovili, koliko je še Slovencev med nami. Pa tudi drugače je v članku precej netočnosti, katere bi rad popravil.
Č. g. Alojzij Hribšek ni izpregel kot župnik naše fare. Vzel si je le šest mesecev dopusta. Delaven, kakor je vedno bil, si je tudi tukaj naložil preveč dolžnosti. Pcleg edgovornosti za faro je prevzel še štiri ure pouka dnevno v Lauralton Hall Aca-

MISIJONSKA SREČANJA IN POMENKI
253. Po njih delih jih boste spoznali...
Misijonar p. A. Majcen s svojimi aspiranti.

Na Veliko sredo, 26. marca, je pisal pretresljivo pismo misijonar Andrej Majcen in žig nosi datum Velikega petka, iz Thu Nuc-a, Južni Vietnam:
“Smo v svetem tednu topljenja Gospodovega.
Kadar je v stiski, je ta pomoč še posebno cenjena. Naj Vam vse ljubi Bog poplača. Pozdrave in veselo Veliko noč želi
Tvoj Andrej Majcen.”
Ko ta članek pišem, je radio ravno povedal, da so rdeči za-
Veš, pa smo tudi v trpljenju sedli Dalat in celotno področje, preseljevanja, z vsemi tako žalostnimi dogodki, ki so kar enaki tistim, ki'si mi Ti o njih pred leti v Kunmingu pripovedoval.
Si lahko misliš, kako radi imajo komuniste, da beže, puste vse in, s culo na rami, cekarjem v roki gredo v negotovost, v pomanjkanje. Kam, kje, kako? Bog sam Ve> zakaj ... Tudi mi smo izgubili v par dnevih tri naše zavode v Dalatu, kjer sem tudi jaz deloval. Bili so dnevi polni skrbi za nas,, za starše, ki žele imeli novice o svojih. Telefon poje Ves dan in staršev so polne sobe.

kjer neumorno že leta deluje \relik slovenski misijonar Andrej Majcen. Misli mi uhajajo na prve dni Marijinega meseca maja 1945, ko smo mnogi morali čez Alpe, ker smo ljubili Kristusa, življenje in svobodo mnogo bolj kot komunizem in OF, s krilaticami in obljubami, ki jih sami niso povečini nikdar verjeli. škoda le, da so mnogi v svobodnem svetu tudi tega kontinenta prehitro na to pozabili. Nič ne vemo, kaj bo z g. Majce-nom. Molimo, da nam ga Bog o-hrani in varuje svoji mis. Cerkvi.

V trpljenju najbolj spoznamo,
kdo je naš prijatelj in ena najbolj značilnih potez krščanskega značaja je usmiljenje do ubogih, bolnih, potrebnih, trpečih. Vsa ta leta, ko smo skušali pomagati dobremu g. Andreju na mnoge načine, smo slišali tudi med nami toliko zvenečih krilatic in besed o borbi s komunizmom in proti njemu. Po njih deblih bomo v življenju vedno zlahka spoznali sleherno dušo. Ni dovolj biti “proti” čemu, biti moramo “za” vse dobro in pozitivno, tako na terenu, kot v zaledju, če smo res vredni imena “kristjan”. S tem, da krščansko živimo in gradimo boljši svet, najbolj uspešno vodimo borbo zoper zlo, ki ga vsi poznamo in
vemo, da se nikjer ne ustavi in nikdar ne utrudi dobro uničevati, zmedo ustvarjati, trpljenje pomnožiti. Kristus je v govoru na gori oznanil blagre vsemu človeštvu. Blagor nam, če nas v življenju vodijo in nam kažejo varno smer k Njemu, po Mariji!

Ko molimo za zdravje voditeljice sortiranja znamk v MZA, ge. Karle Kucherjeve, se veselimo njenih pozdravov in želje, “da mi Bog da toliko zdravja, da spet lahko nadaljujem z znamkami. Bog je tako dober do mene. Nisem mislila, da bom iz bolnice, kjer sem dnevno prejemala Jezusa in bila tudi maziljena v zakramentu bolnih. Zelo sem bila mirna in vdana v božjo voljo. Pozdravljam vse v MZA. Caroline K.”

Kissingerjev obisk v Latinsko Ameriko odložen
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Državni tajnik H. Kissinger bi moral koncem aprila na potovanje po državah. Latinske Amerike, pa je bila ta pot odložena v zvezi z zadnjimi dogodki v svetu, predvsem na Srednjem vzhodu in v Vietnamu.

Združitev naj okrepi železniške in letalske družbe
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Zvezni prometni tajnik William T. Coleman Jr. je dejal, da bo zvezna vlada potiskala železniške in letalske družbe k združitvi v večje in močnejše, da bodo sposobne vršiti svoje naloge v u-spešnem medsebojnem tekmovanju.
Manjše število močnejših podjetij bo sposobno uspevati in vzdrževati javni promet na dostojni višini, s čimer bo potreba po zveznem sodelovanju ali celo j prevzemu teh družb odpadla.

MIRACLE ON L55TH ST.
In the year 1965 of Our Lord, a man said to his wife, “On this corner I am going to build the most beautiful restaurant in the world.”
“It will not have any peers. Our clientele will consist of the rich, the poor, and take in all the races, and this neighborhood will rise again.”
As he was telling it to his wife, the neighbors were laughing at him and saying, “It cannot be done. Can’t you see that the neighborhood is dead, kaput, končan. The money is taken away, not brought in.” The children would pass by and laugh and holler, “Only fbols go where wise men refuse to go”.
But the jeering did not stop this man and his wife. They went forward and began to build the castle in the sky — The Miracle on East 55th began.
With love and faith in his fellow man, Steve began to build. He added a room here, a room there and on the outside the castle began to take shape. He brought from Europe the Bavarian Kings Chef and the Maidens from Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, and Italy and said to them, “I want you to make this Castle the Gastrono-inical Capital of the World.”
“In a Slovenian Community, let the world know what proud people live here, and let them
know that a miracle took place on 55th.”
Now the neighbors and the children pass by and sing, “For He Is a Jolly Good Fellow That No One Can Deny.”
Yes, my friends, thiss is the story of the Hofbrau Hause. The story of a man and woman who dreamed of owning a castle and contributing to the culture and heritage" of a great community and taking the first step forward.
Mr. Steve Bencic never says, “It cannot be done,” but rather, “It will be done!”
Out of the rubble, chaos and laughter arose the Hofbrau Haus, the castle on East 55th.

In the past she has performed on record with the Almars orchestra, Hank Haller, the Tyroleans of Pennsylvania, the Second Generation, and on her own accompanied at the organ by Valentina Fillinger.
Her new album will be heard in full stereo on our Tony’s Polka Party” on WXEN-FM this
Saturday at 12 Noon. We’ll be interviewing; her during our 90 minute program. The album will be available at Tony’s Polka Village, 591 E. 185 St., Cleveland 44119.

“IN CLEVELAND, THE POLKA IS NO POLISH JOKE”
WZAK’s (radio EM) A. W, Zebrowski is the subject of a cover story in the April edition of the Cleveland magazine now on newsstands. The third anniversary issue does quite a feature on the polka movement in greater Cleveland.
The seven page story by Derek VanPelt covers the Slovenian, German and Polish facets of the polka with features on j Frank Yankovic, the Polka Varieties TV show, Johnny Pecon, the Polka Mass and much, much more in addition to the Zefcrow-
ski story.
Bill Randle is quoted in the article as saying, “These are people (polka people) who never lost their roots. They always knew who they were. Now i11 1975, it’s becoming legitimate to be publicly proud of who yon are.”
Randle claims to be an “adopted Slovenian” in the article.
The article further points out that the recent Polka Varieties television poll selected the fob lowing as the top bands: Hank Haller was in first place; runner up was Markic-Zagger; and in third place, Joe Oberaitis.

“Elderlj/ citizens must take their story to our state lawmakers,” Voinovich said. “The Homestead Act must he changed so that senior citizens are not penalized every time they get a little increase in Social Security.”
Voinovich has been pushing the Legislature for two years to eliminate the income brackets in the Homestead Act and to abolish the $10,000 maximum income provision.
He also favors a credit for elderly renters, claiming they should receive similar treatment as homeowners.

OUTLOOK IMPROVES FOR STROKE PATIENTS
Stroke is a major health prob-tem afflicting hundreds of thou-sands of persons each year, says the American Heart Association.
Progress has been made in 1 ecent years both in areas of treatment and rehabilitation of stroke patients and in prevention' of stroke.
Commonly a stroke causes a loss of feeling or, paralysis of 0lre side of the body and diffi-culty with speaking or vision. Stroke is the result of a reduced blood supply to the brain. It Causes damage to the brain cells ^hich control the affected parts °f the body.
i	The effects may be very sbght or severe, temporary or
Permanent.
The body attempts its own repair job whenever the blood ®uPply is cut off. Small neigh-0l'ing blood vessels tend to get J*rger and take over the load of ne damaged or blocked vessels. Her a stroke, some of the dam-aged nerve cells recover, or jheir function may ke taken over y other nerve cells in the brain. Ventually the part of the body a fected by the stroke may improve or possibly return to normal.
Even when the stroke is slight arid its effects of a short dura-l0n> H is important to consult a doctor. With modern techni-hTos, the physician can determine what kind of stroke has °ccurred and start prompt me-cal or surgical treatment mhich may prevent a later mas-*lve stroke and lead to more raPid recovery.
Stroke, usually associated V'^b old age, often occurs in e young. Conditions which in-Clease the risk of stroke are • §h blood pressure, diabetes and coronary artery disease. |egular medical checkups are m best protection against fa°kes. They should become a ’Kalth habit long before middle-age.
Surprisingly, stroke , does not ^0nie without warning. Symp-°nis which often indicate a S! l obe is about to occur are sud-, en numbness or weakness in a and or leg, difficulty with sPeech, blurred or double vision and severe dizziness or light-endedness. Prompt medical
attention should be paid to these symptoms.
For persons who have a high risk of stroke, doctors may advise a diet to reduce weight and/or to lower blood cholesterol levels. Moderate exercise and relief from tension are also recommended and usually doctors advise against smoking.
An understanding of how and why strokes occur is important to the stroke patient’s family and to any person who is anxious to prevent stroke. For further information, write to the American Heart Association, Northeast Ohio Affiliate, 1689 East 115th Street, Cleveland, O. 44106.

Statistics on household injuries have consistently shown that the bathroom is one of the most hazardous areas in the home. Many of the accidents occurring here are linked to bathtub and shower stalls.
According to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates, these two structures account for 187,000 injuries every year that are serious e-nough to be treated in a hospital emergency room!
The majority of bathtub and shov/er injuries are the result of fails. The' combination of a smooth non-porous surface and soapy water can cause serious, sometimes fatal accidents.
To make your footing more secure, use a suction-cup rubber ' mat or rough-surfaced adhesive strips. If you’re planning on installing a new bathtub, some tubs are now manufactured with slip-resistant surfaces.
There should be at least two grab bars securely mounted on the wall beside a bathtub, at different heights, and one in every shower stall, to help break falls.1
Similar accessories — towel rings, towel racks, shower curtain rods—should also be mounted securely as a falling person will grab at the first available support to break his/her fall.
Be sure that all tub and shower accessories are free of sharp edges. They should be constructed of materials that will not break in use.

Commissioners of Cuyahoga County made a decision to continue the operation of the County Nursing Home.
Some people have indicated that this is a reversal of a previous decision; actually, it is not. What we had done previously, approximately a year and a half ago, was to act on recommendations which had been made on the best information available at that time. Certainly, no one could predict a year and a half ago the problems this country and this nation are now facing.
We always have to take into consideration priorities of need, and there is a great need of nursing home care and other ancillary services to the elderly citizens of Cuyahoga County.

Construction has begun at the Avon Lake power, generating plant of the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company on an air pollution central project slated to cost approximately $27 million.
The . Illuminating Company's plans call for the installation of a new 500-foot stack plus two new electrostatic precipitators on two coal-fired units in the plant’s “A’’ Section.
“Completion of this project in 1978 will result in a significant environmental improvement in the vicinity of our Avon Lake Plant,” said Harold L. Williams, CEI’s executive vice president.
Through 1974, the Illuminating Company has invested some $67 million in pollution control projects. Approximately $230 million has been set aside for additional environmental projects in the next five years. This expenditure of $230 million, averages nearly, $4 million a month through 1979.

A General Discussion on making income taxes more equitable By DENNIS SUSN1K
Income taxes are really not a laughing matter, quite the contrary, income taxes are, very burdensome to the average taxpayer. Realistically, everyone knows that in order for our society to function, everyone must pay their fair share of taxes. But, much could be done to offer incentives to the income tax system which has thus far remained almost archaic in structure.
Recently, you have probably read about making tax returns easier to prepare. And, the ease with which a return is prepared is important, however, it is secondarily important, since no significant dollar change in the payment of taxes are inevitable from this easier method of income taxation.
All of us should be keenly aware that tax laws are enacted by Congressmen, while the court system expresses the exactness of meaning of the tax legislation. The Internal Revenue Service merely carries out the collection of the taxes due to the Treasury Department. Without going any further, let me explain my personal opinion in regard to making income taxation more equitable.
You will note that in the tax schedule for single individuals there is no difference in calculating the tax due because of age. And, yet, most theorists would agree that a single individual who is 30, 40, or 50 years of age creates upon himself greater responsibilities than a single individual in his or her early years of employment. Meaning, a person who is single at 55 years of age would have a greater amount of non-deductible expenses from rental payments, living costs, etc., which he or she would alone, be encumbered for payment. Then, for single individuals, a schedule of tax payments should not only be based on earnings, but also upon age.
Also, a person who either purchases a home or buys an automobile should be permitted an incentive to motivate his buying. The incentive could very appropriately be built into an individual’s income tax return by reducing the tax because of an auto or home purchase.
As an exampie, a married couple without any dependents and earning $14,560, purchases an automobile in January,-1974 i

Quite reasonably, the federal government could institute a proportionate tax on imports of foreign made vehicles, the tax -dif- ! — ference would’then balance off the revenue lost from the reduction of taxes due to a taxpayer who has purchased an American manufactured automobile. Regarding homes, the. reduction of taxes from the 40 year cost basis could be distributed at the time the home is sold, that is, reporting the gain upon the basis of years expensed.
A further step should also be taken in making the first $200 of interest earned from a joint savings account exempt. Dividends of up to $200 with joint ownership is presently exempt, and the same application woidd be beneficial to the> taxpayer and the banking and savings and loan institutions.
Realistically, although this nation has both a population of poor and a population of wealthy individuals, it is the middle class that offers the real strength to our economy and much more could and should be done to make the income tax structure an incentive to buying activity for the middle class.
