- PREGLED NAJVAŽNEJŠIH DOGODKOV -
— Te vesli so bile pripravljene v četrtek popoldne —
Predstavniški dom glasoval za prepoved ,rgovanja z Južno Afriko — Reagan proti — Škof Tutu: Reagan sodelavec apartheida
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Preteklo sre-do je spodnji dom zveznega kongresa odo-bril zakonski osnutek, ki bi ustavil vsakršno trgovanje med ZDA in Južno Afriko. Vsa ameriška podjetja in posamezniki bi morali v času pol leta prodati ali opustiti svoje premoženje v Južni Afriki. Zakonski osnutek je Predložil kongresnik Ronald V. Dellums iz Kalifornije, glasovanje pa je bilo ustno. Nič ne kaže, pravijo opazovalci razmer na kapi-lo'jskem hribu, da bo zvezni senat soglašal z a|ccijo spodnjega doma. Predstavnik Bele pa je izjavil, da predsednik Reagan nasprotuje osnutku in bi ga vetiral, ako bi ga Kongres odobril. Glasovanje v spodnjem d°mu pa je najnovejši dokaz spremenjenega odnosa kongresnikov do Južne Afrike, poli-dčni analitiki pa menijo, da kongresniki, ki s*cer morajo vsi pred volivce novembra letos, izražajo splošno ameriško javno mne-nie do Južne Afrike.
Najbolj znani črnski nasprotnik sistema aPartheida v Južni Afriki je Nobelov nagra-lenec za mir, anglikanski škof Desmond .utu. V intervjuju za ameriško ABC televi-z’jsko mrežo je škof Tutu trdil, da predsed-“'k Reagan sicer z lepimi in tudi močnimi esedami kritizira apartheid, v resnici pa sO-emje s tem nečloveškim sistemom, ker noče ot Predsednik ZDA podvzeti tistih potreb-
nih
gospodarskih sankcij zoper Južno Afri-
°> ki bi prisilile vlado predsednika Pietra °lhe, da popusti oziroma privoli v razruši-ev “partheida.
V Južni Afriki je- še vedno v veljavi Str°go nadzorovano izredno stanje. Zahodni n°vinarji so pod močno cenzuro in tako ne S^ejo veliko poročati o dogodkih v deželi. V avnem smejo posredovati le tiste vesti, ki Posredujejo vladni predstavniki. Protesti . pdnih poročevalskih agencij niso nič za-

Ameriško gospodarstvo počasi napredovalo
v prvem četrtletju — Trgovinski
primanjkljaj še vedno rekorden
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Podatki, ki jih je objavilo za prvo letošnje četrtletje trgovinsko tajništvo, kažejo, da je ameriško gospodarstvo počasi napredovalo. Imelo je namreč 2,9-odstotno letno rast. Med pozitivnimi faktorji so cenejše cene raznih energij in pa zelo nizka inflacijska stopnja. Slabšo stran gospodarske slike pa predstavlja trgovinski primanjkljaj s tujino, ki je še vedno na rekordni višini. Nič ne kaže na kako spremembo na bolje v doglednem času. Dolar še izgublja na vrednost napram drugim valutam, vendar je po mnenju mnogih finančnikov še vedno precenjen.
Tako vladni kot privatni ekonomisti ne pričakujejo gospodarskega zastoja letos, večina njih tudi napoveduje nižje obrestne
mere‘ — Kratke vesti —
Washington, D.C. — Debata v zveznem
senatu o reformi davčnega sistema ZDA se nadaljuje. Sen. Robert Dole, vodja republikanske večine, trdi, da bo debata trajala vse dokler senatorji ne bodo pripravljeni glasovati. To glasovanje pričakujejo v naslednjih dneh in vse kaže, da bo zakonski osnutek tudi odobren.
Grand Canyon Village, Az. — Še vedno ni znano, zakaj sta trčila helikopter in letalo, na katerih so bili turisti, ki so med poletom ogledovali soteske Grand Canyon. Po trčenju sta letalo in helikopter padlo v težko dostopni del soteske, pri tem je umrlo vseh 20 oseb na letalu in 5 oseb na helikopterju. Vreme v trenutku nesreče je bilo lepo in zelo jasno.
Moskva, ZSSR — Minister za kulturo v
sovjetski vladi, 67 let stari Pjotr Demičov, ki je bil na tem položaju zadnjih 12 let, je postal prvi podpredsednik sovjetske države. Njegovega naslednika kot kulturnega ministra niso imenovali. Demičov, ki je bil mnoga leta član ožjega sovjetskega vodstva, je bil konservativec in je pripadal skupini okoli Leonida Brežnjeva. To skupino je novi voditelj Mihail S. Gorbačov skoraj v celoti že odstranil.
Washington, D.C. — Zvezna agencija
za hrano in zdravila priporoča vsem potrošnikom, naj ne jemljejo več kapsul Extra-Strength Tylenol. Preiskovalci so namreč našli cianid v nekaterih kapsulih v stekleničku, ki ga je lastoval neki moški v Seattlju, ki je pred nedavnim umrl. Pretekli teden je prav tako umrla na posledicah s cianidom zastrupljenih kapsul Tylenol neka 40-letna ženska v Seattlju.
Genova, It. — Začelo se je sojenje 15 osebam, obtoženim sodelovanja v ugrabitvi potniške ladje Achille Lauro oktobra lani in umora na vozičku priklenjenega ameriškega državljana. V sodni dvorani je le 5 od obtožencev, drugi bodo sojeni v odsotnosti. Navzoči so dejali, da o smrti ameriškega državljana Leona Klinghofferja ne vedo absolutno nič. Trdijo celo, da Klinghofferja sploh niso nikoli videli. Na zasliševanjih so pa bili priznali, da so Klinghofferja res ubili.
Stockholm, Šved. — Policisti so streljali
na dve osebi, ki sta se sumljivo obnašala v bližini kraja, kjer je bil ameriški veleposlanik v Švedske. Neznanca sta izginila.

Pred 400 leti je umrl Primož Trubar
Narod, ki svojih velikih mož ne časti, jih vreden ni, pravi naš pregovor. Skoraj po pravici bi smisel tega pregovora mogli spraviti v zvezo z imenom očaka-velikana slovenskega naroda za vse čase — Primoža Trubarja. On je položil temelje naše rodne identitete, ko se je lotil — čeprav v cerkveni obliki — izoblikovanja samostojnega slovenskega občestva. Posadil je žlahtno cvetico slovenskega jezika in prvih tiskanih knjig v tem jeziku v sredino evropskega kulturnega vrta, kjer je bujno pognala, se razcvetela in razširja svoj sad vse vprek do današnjega dne. Svojo ljubezen do rodnega občestva in vero v njegovo prihodnost je vcepil v spoznanje, da se brez lastne kulture Slovenci ne bomo mogli uveljaviti. Zapisal je: »Obena dežela na mejstu ne gmajna ne mogo prež šul, prež šularjev in prež vučenih ludi biti.«
Pa mu vendar Slovenci do današnjega dne nismo priznali mesta, ki mu po vsej pravici gre, da bi s takim priznanjem začeli poglabljati svojo zgodovinsko zavest, da bi z njegovim imenom zapolnili prazno mesto staroste, ki ga čustveni in domišljijski svet slehernega občestva potrebuje za zdrav in naraven duševni razvoj, kot dokazuje tržaški kulturni Boris Pahor.
Zelo je motilo slovensko katoliško orientirajo javnost Trubarjev odpad od katoliškega duhovništva ih njegovo aktivno delovanje za širjenje protestantizma, kar je z ozirom na določbe tridentinskega cerkvenega zbora razumljivo. Ni se posrečilo potegniti razlike med Trubarjem — protestantom in Trubarjem — m rodno-kulturnim velikanom. Zato se je v preteklih stoletjih o njem več molčalo kot govorilo, in kolikor govorilo, več obsojalo kot slavilo. Nedavni drugi vatikanski cerkveni ?bor (koncil) v Rimu je s tako miselnostjo prelomil, in danes vstaja pred nami eden največjih Slovencev vseh časov, ki zasluži priznanje, pohvalo in slavo od strani celotnega naroda in slehernega zavednega Slovenca.
Kakšna je bila življenjska pot tega velikega moža?
Na ta svet je prišel v hiši kmeta in mlinarja v vasi Raščica pri Velikih Laščah na Dolenjskem, na klasičnem koščku slovenske zemlje, kjer sta mu sledila druga dva narodna velikana: Josip Stritar in Fran Levstik. Sliši se, da Trubarjeva rojstno hišo popravljajo, da bi jo rešili propada. Ko je bil fantiček 1 2 let star so ga poslali na Reko v šolo, od koder je kasneje odšel v benediktinsko samostansko šolo v Salzburgu, od koder se je 1 6 let star vrnil v Trst na dvor škofa in grofa Petra Bonoma. Postal je škofov komornik in pevec v škofijskem zboru. Tu se je mnogo ukvarjal s humanističnimi vedami in se navzel renesančnega okus. Leta 1527 ga je škof Bonomo poslal študirat na Dunaj, od koder se je, visoko izobražen, vrnil k svojemu zaščitniku, ki ga je I. 1 530 posvetil v (katoliškega) duhovnika.
Istega leta je odšel na faro Loka pri Zidanem mostu, ki mu jo je škof Bonomo podaril kot beneficij še preden ga je poslal študirat na Dunaj. Nekaj let kasneje so ga povabili za stolnega pridigarja v Ljubljano, a tu je zaradi vsebine svojih pridig prišel v navskrižje z deželno oblastjo. Moral je oditi v
Piknik Misijonske Znamkarske Akcije
CLEVELAND, O. — Gotovo ste že opazili v koledarju prireditev, da je 6. julij označen za piknik Misijonske Znamkarske Akcije na Slovenski pristavi. Vsi, ki te vrstice berete, dobro poznate MZA, katera zbira gmotno in duhovno pomoč za slovenske misijonarje, kateri širom sveta delajo za božje kraljestvo.
Piknik se bo pričel s sv. mašo ob 12. uri opoldne. Sv. mašo bo daroval č.g. Karel Wolbang za vse misijonarje na terenu in tudi za nas, ki v zaledju zbiramo in prosimo za gmotne in duhovne dobrine. Po sv. maši bo na razpolago kosilo. Srečali se bomo s prijatelji in znanci v prijetni senci pod smrekami ali pa odšli v bazen na osvežujočo kopel in mimogrede bo popoldne minilo. Na razpolago bodo različne jestvine kot tudi mehka in alkoholna pijača. Okrog 5. ure pa bodo litanije Matere božje. Gospodinje lepo prosimo za pecivo.
Na predvečer našega piknika je igra društva Lilije, katera naj Vas ne oplaši. Po vsem smehu in dobri volji sklenite, da se udeležite tudi MZA piknika. Naj bo 6. julij misijonski dan darovanja v pomoč bližnjemu. Iskreno Vas vabi

LILIJA nastopi na Slov. pristavi
CLEVELAND, O. - Različni ljudje, različne ustanove, praznujejo pomembne dogodke ali obletnice na različne načine. Znano nam je že, da Slovenska pristava slavi letos svoj srebrni jubilej ustanovitve. Petindvajset let nam nudi možnost, da se na njej odpočijemo in razvedrimo in navžije-mo svežih moči v prosti naravi.
Tudi LILIJA se z veseljem pridružuje temu pomembnemu praznovanju. Prav za to priliko so pri Liliji v režiji priznanega igralca in režiserja Srečka Gaserja naštudirali veseloigro »Pri belem konjičku« in jo bodo v soboto, 5. julija zvečer podali na Slovenski pristavi, na prostem sicer, pred Lobetovo dvorano. Nastopajo poznani in preizkušeni
Lilijini aduti, katere obiskovalci Lilijinih predstav že dobro poznamo.
S to predstavo se LILIJA hoče vsaj malo oddolžiti Slovenski pristavi za poslanstvo, ki ga vrši med nami. Slovenska javnost od blizu in daleč je prav lepo vabljena na to edinstveno prireditev. Z našim obiskom bomo dosegli troje: Lili-jinim igralcem bomo dali priznanje za njihov trud za ohranitev Slovenske kulture, tudi Pristavski pionirji in garači bodo s tem dobili zasluženo priznanje, mi pa bomo preživeli prav lep in prijeten večer ven iz mestnega hrupa in vrveža. Seveda igri sledi še zabava z vsemi dobrotami.

Trst, vendar so ga spet poklicali v Ljubljano, kjer je postal kanonik in glavni pridigar. V Trstu pa je bil mnogo občeval s švicarskimi reformatorji kot sta bila Calvin in Zwingli in je idejo o reformaciji razvijal v svojih pridigah. Ko se je I. 1547 začelo preganjanje verskih reformatorjev, je moral Trubar pobegniti na Nemško, kjer se je naselil pri lutrovskem pastorju Vidu Dietrichu, pretrgal vezi s katoliško Cerkvijo in postal slovenski protestant.
Da bi ostal v zvezi in stikih s svojimi ljubimi Slovenci, je napisal v svojem materinem jeziku in dal natisniti prvi dve tiskani knjigi v slovenščini, Catechismus in Abecedarium in ju poslal v domovino. To se je zgodilo I. 1 550, ki pomeni rojstvo prve slovenske tiskane knjige. Pozneje je Trubar še mnogo pisal in dal tiskati, a ni prostora, da bi vse navajali. Omenim naj knjigo Ta evangeli s\?etiga Matevža in pa Ta prvi in drugi dejl tiga noviga testamenta.
Po 13 letih se je vneti kristjan mogel vrniti v Ljubljano, kjer je bil imenovan za superintendanta slovenske protestantske Cerkve. V tem času je izdal dvoje pisem sv. Pavla in Slovensko cerkovno ordningo. Pa je moral spet bežati. Končno se je ustalil kot pastor protestantske cerkvene občine Derendingen in tam ostal do svoje smrti I. 1 586. Deren-dingen je predmestje univerzitetnega mesta Tubingen. Tu je pridno pisal in izdal celo vrsto slovenskih bogoslužnih knjig in spisov, med katerimi je po vsebini najvažnejša in najpomembnejša knjiga Ta celi novi testament (1 582), ki jo je Jurij Dalmatin s pridom uporabil pri sestavljanju celotnega slovenskega Svetega pisma.
Tako izgleda zelo skrčen življenjepis slovenskega duhovnega učitelja in avtorja prvih knjig v slovenskem jeziku, moža — velikana, ki smo mu v preteklosti posvečali vse premalo pažnje in priznanja in hvaležnosti in zahvale za ogromno kulturno delo.
Zato je skoraj odrešilno učinkovala novica iz sedanje Nemčije, da so se dne 8. maja letos verni Slovenci iz nemškega zdomstva zbrali v Derendingenu in v cerkvi, kjer leže kosti Primoža Trubarja, prisostvovali maševanju sedmih slovenskih zdomskih duhovnikov in poslušali pridigo msgr. dr. Janeza Zdešarja, ki je poudaril skupno ljubezen do svetega pisma in ljubezen in zvestobo do njegovih naukov.
Izrekamo priznanje in zahvalo zdomcem v Nemčiji in njihovi duhovščini za izkazani akt hvaležnosti očaku slovenskega pismenstva Primožu Trubarju v imenu vsega naroda!

Župnik Jože Božnar o svetovidskem poletnem festivalu
CLEVELAND, O. - Dnevi našega poletnega Festivala 1L, 12. in 13. junija se nagloma približujejo. Ponovno se moram zahvaliti pripravljalnemu odboru, ki organizira zanimiv in zabaven program, ne samo za našo župnijo, marveč za vso sentklersko okolico. Iskrena hvala!
Letos bi vam rad predložil dva dela, katera, upam, bomo mogli izvesti z dohodki poletnega Festivala. Prvo, kar mislimo, je narediti več stranišč v avditoriju. Trenutno sta samo dve, eno za moške in eno za ženske, kar je seveda veliko premalo, kadar je avditorij poln ljudi. Druga zamisel je trajen dovoz ali »ramp« za bolnike na vozičkih pri vhodu v cerkev zraven župnišča. Mnoge javne zgradbe in tudi katoliške cerkve že imajo take »ramps« za manj srečne brate in sestre.
To sta torej dva načrta, ki ju želimo letos udejaniti. Poleg tega upamo, da bo vsaj nekaj ostalo za tekoče farne zadeve. Če bi se mogli postavljati z nedeljsko farno nabirko 7.000-10.000 dolarjev kot nekatere druge fare, bi bilo veliko lažje. Toda ker nimamo takšnih nedeljskih nabirk, si moramo pomagati s poletnim Festivalom in to seveda z vašo P°' močjo.
Letos pošiljamo faranom srečk v vrednosti 40 dolarjev. Prosimo vas, dragi farani, da jih skušajte ali sami odkupil' ali razpečati med prijatelji in sosedi. To je edina tombola (»raffle«), ki jo bomo imeli letos. V jeseni tombole ne bo. Zelo smo zvišali število dobitkov. Tako bo imelo več Ijud' možnost, da dobitek zadenejo. V izredno pomoč bi bilo župniji, če bi vsak faran, starejši in mlajši, tokrat odkupil vse srečke. Kaj menite, ali je 10 izvedljivo? Dokažimo, da smo pri Sv. Vidu to zmožni storiti-Fr. Jože Božnar

Grob je zevajoča rana v zendji, krvaveča rana v človeških srcih. Bolečina je še toliko Večja, ker danes žrtvujemo grobu vernega družinskega 0^eta, prijatelja inženirja Ludvika.
Ludvik je bil skrben družin-ski oče. Uresničil je sanje tolikih mladih slovenskih inteli-Sentov: dobil je dobro ženo šarijo in otroka Marka in Sandy, o njegovi vernosti lahko rečemo z besedami apostolskih del: »Bil je pobožen in bogaboječ z vso svojo hišo.«
10	tem besedam dodajmo še bodrega Siraha: »Kdor se boji Gospoda, se mu bo naposled dobro godilo in na dan svoje srtlrti bo slavljen.«
, 2 vestnim poklicnim delom s' Je verjetno nakopal tudi ^Pirtonosno bolezen, ki jo je Cudovito prenašal. Zavedal se |e> da je Gospodar našega živ-ienja tudi Veliki Mizar, ki teše z'bke in krste, in da je naše ži-v.ijenje v času romarska procesa s križem na čelu, ki se vije *kozi svet od jutra rojstva pa o noči smrti. V tej procesiji je hodil naš Ludvik, ki bi lahko ^ s pesnikom Francetom fantičem: »Bijem s perotmi ot jutranja ptica, kot ptica Ponočna, ki mora z okrvavlje-hn očesom strmeti v žar son-^a.« __ sonce nam svetj v 2jv_
jenju, a večkrat tudi peče in *ge!
Kljub trpljenju pa je ostal , e življenje iskreno veren. Že r°Čilo slovenske verne druži-e Burgarjev in Zupanov je °tovo pripomoglo Ludvikovi
11	ojegovi družini, da je bila
v blag spomin

20. junija 1986.
Ludvikova vernost ni temeljila le na izročilu in okolju, ampak je bila predvsem osebna vera. Z njim je rastla, verjetno doživljala krize, s trpko življenjsko preizkušnjo zahrbtne bolezni pa se je poglabljala. Trda življenjska izkustva je polagoma zaokrožal v celoti v določen pogled na svet, katerega temelj in ozadje je bil Bog. Od tod tudi njegova premočrtnost, njegova doslednost in poštenost in ne nazadnje njegova pripravljenost, da pomaga tam, kjer je pomoč potrebna. S te človeške strani smo ga vsi poznali in za vse to se mu danes zahvaljujemo.
S skladnostjo med osebnim prepričanjem in ravnanjem pa življenja ni le obvladoval, ampak ga je le to tudi nagrajevalo. Pozoren je bil na tiste malenkosti v življenju, od katerih je običajno odvisna človeška sreča. Razodeval se nam je kot človek, ki je že v veliki meri dovršil tisto prevrednotenje vrednot, ki ga od nas zahteva Kristus v evangeliju. Zanj ve-. Ijajo psalmistove besede: »Blagor vsem, ki se boje Gospoda in hodijo po njegovih potih! Zakaj sad truda svojih rok boš užival, srečen boš in dobro ti bo.« (Ps. 128, 1-2)
Ko se poslavljamo od Ludvika, smo prepričani, da je ob tesnobi in negotovosti smrti že zaslišal veselo povabilo nebeškega Očeta: »Dobri in zvesti služabnik, v malem si bil zvest,
čez veliko te bom postavil, pojdi v veselje svojega Gospoda.« (Mt. 26,21)
Nam pa, ki se danes poslavljamo od njega, naj odmevajo v srcih besede Otona Župančiča: »Življenja nisi sam Gospod! Pripravi se! Pospravi vse! Ne veš kdaj treba bo na pot.« Kajti vsi — kot poje Balantič: »Zgoreli bomo kakor šop zvenele trave...«
In ob koncu še resen opomin božje besede: Vsak izmed nas bo zase dajal odgovor Bogu, zakaj pisano je: »Živim jaz, pravi Gospod, meni se bo pripogibalo vsako koleno in vsak jezik bo slavil Boga.«
Za slovensko skupnost v New Yorku se je poslovil Simon Kregar:
Prijatelji v žalosti! Pred desetimi leti je zapisal urednik Ameriške Domovine v uvodniku tole: »Pri cerkvi Svetega Cirila v New Yorku je vsak nepogrešljiv. Zato pa je izguba vsakega posameznika izguba za vse.«
Stvarnik je po svoji modrosti delil nadarjenosti, vneme in pridnosti. Od tistega, kateremu je dal večjo mero, bo zahteval težji obračun. Ludvik je dobil Stvarnikove darove v veliki meri, pa je bil obračun lahek. Bil je izredno bister v svojem poklicu, in dosegel je čast, da je ocenjeval vrednost visokih šol v naši deželi. Za slovensko ceno v svetu je namreč pomemben tisti, ki doseže
priznanje izven meja svoje skupnosti, pa se prišteva k izročilom in je dejaven pri ohranjanju izročil. To pa je zares tisto, kar pove obljuba, ki so jo sprejeli slovenski verniki na 41. Mednarodnem evharističnem kongresu v mestu bratske ljubezni pred desetimi leti, in ki nosi tudi pokojnikov pečat, da bomo namreč na predvečer praznika Marije iz Brezij »preživeli večer v mislih na krščanska izročila, ki so stoletja vodila naš rod v domovini in oblikujejo danes nas v svetu in po nas narode, med katerimi živimo«.
Ludvik je bil vnet za našo cerkev, ki je obenem središče in žarišče slovenske omike v tem delu Amerike. Pomagal je pri vseh dejavnostih. Prizadeval si je in vodil je skrb za gostovanje slovenskih duhovnikov, redovnikov in bogoslovcev pri naši župniji. S tem pa je povezal verujočo Slovenijo z verujočo Slovenijo v svetu. V obojestransko dobro.
Velike darove za uresničitev slovenskih dejanj je pokazal pri društvu slovenskih visoko-šolcev Savi, pri naporih za slovensko udeležbo na Evharističnem kongresu v Philadelphi-ji, pri tečaju za našo ameriško mladino na Koroškem, pri Liginih študijskih dnevih v Commodore, v Princeton Ciuhu, na New York University, in pri slovenskih festivalih v tem delu naše dežele. Bil je iznajdljiv, resen in natančen.
Na svojem domu je zbiral slovensko druščino in z gostoljubnostjo pomagal utrjevati vezi, ki nas družijo.
V življenju pa so trenutki, ko človek odpre kamrico svojega srca. Včasih, ker bi se rad razdal, včasih, ker mu je tesno v njej. In tako vemo vsi, ki
smo sprejemali valove njegovih tihih oddaj, da je bil po prepričanju skromen in zmeren, čednosti, ki jih v Novem svetu domala ni najti. Predvsem pa je bil potrpežljiv v trpljenju, saj je hodil s senco smrti ob sebi dolgih osem let. Tako ga je izprala usoda, da je bil izbrušen kot prod na dnu Savice. Takrat je prišla ura ločitve.
Za nas je posebno važno tole: svoja otroka je vzgajal v spoštovanju do naše cerkve, do našega jezika, do naše pesmi. Zato bo živel v njih za nas vse v bodočih letih.
Če je njegova smrt v kakršnikoli zvezi z njegovim poklicnim delom pri jedrskem raziskovanju, prosimo Boga, da bo človek vendar uvidel, da je Stvarnik postavil gotove meje posegu človeka v skrivnosti ustvarjanja in postavil srečo človeka na prvo mesto.
Pomislimo, ki stojimo danes ob tej krsti, v njej da leži človek, ki je še mislil in čutil slovensko.

Slovenski TV komik Mito Trefalt 6. julija na SNPJ farmi
CLEVELAND, O. - Bi se radi nasmejali? Seveda, kdo se ne bi! V nedeljo, 6. julija, bo nastopil zelo znani slovenski televizijski komik Mito Trefalt in sicer v dvorani SNPJ farme na Heath Rd. v Kirtlandu. Iz Clevelanda greste po Chardon Rd. (Rte. 6) do Heath Rd.
Mito Trefalt je pri RTV Ljubljana že dobrih 25 let. Zadnjih deset let se ukvarja predvsem z zabavnimi programi. Če kdo v Sloveniji, je Mito Trefalt znan kot mojster slovenskih narečij, saj jih obvlada najmanj deset. Mnoga narečja zaradi sodobnih komunikacijskih sredstev gredo hitro v pozabo, a lega ne boste verjeli, če boste Mita poslušali.
»Za Mita Trefalta se zdi,« piše ljubljanska novinarka Vesna Marinčič, »da ljudi, ki jih enkrat na mesec zbira v studiu, tudi sicer rad srečuje. Kajti vzdušja, ki ga ustvarja, še tak umetnik ne bi zrežiral.«
Mito je bil rojen v Kranju, ima štiri otroke, njegova žena Metka Leskovšek pa je režiserka pri RTV Ljubljana. Nastopil bo s programom, ki ga bo izvedel skupaj s hčerkama Nežo in Špelo in sicer v angleščini ter tudi v nekaj slovenskih narečij.
Program se bo začel ob 3. uri popoldne 6. julija. Zabavni orkester bratov Sumrada bo igral za ples med odmoroma.
Pred programom, med 1. in 3. uro popoldne, se bo serviral obed in sicer po $4.50 na ose-
bo. Na razpolago bodo tudi sendviči. Za vstop na SNPJ farmo in udeležbo programa boste pa odšteli samo $2.50 na osebo.
Vstopnice niso v predprodaji. Odločite se v nedeljo, 6. julija, popoldne in se pripeljite na SNPJ farmo na obetajoči, hudomušni in sproščeni program Mita Trefalta!

Dan’s Diary

St. Vitus Reunions in Forefront of Diocese
by Dan J. Postotnik
Another happy event took place at good old St. Vitus on Sun. June 1, 1986. It was the grade school class of 1936 this time, which celebrated its Golden Anniversary. Some Masses have had reunions in between, notably their 25th, but for the class of 1936 it was •be first one in 50 years. How about that?
It is believed that St. Vitus Parish is in the forefront in Promoting these reunions in the diocese. Our grads have been forming their committees ibr these events for a dozen years or so, and it is hoped that the tradition will con-iiuue. Each year’s committee has been doing a tremendous J°b. It is difficult to formulate cnllege and high school reu-hfons, but a grade school reu-hion is even more difficult, it ls tuy understanding that the riass of 1937 had already 0rmed a committee for their Celebration at St. Vitus ^uietime in the spring of 1987.
The big day started with a hoon Mass of Thanksgiving, ^hich was offered by pastor ather Joseph Boznar, with a *ne homily. Readers for the "|ass were: Florence Tomsic irnat and Rudy Klemenčič, airing the gifts up to the altar ^ere: Eleanor Medveš Hlabse; >da Gregorač Shega; Helen ahcic; Joseph Sterle; and Jjhn Trinko. After the Mass Photos were taken on the steps the church by Dan himrak. The graduates then Preceded to the St. Vitus aditorium, decorated in blue j^d gold, where they enjoyed eet>ng classmates from many ars ago, reminiscing, and Joying a delicious repast put by Marie Dular and her aff. Clergy who attended the Inner and program were: ev- Joseph Boznar and Rev. °SePh Simcic.
Members of the committee r 0 Prepared this wonderful . lion were: Eleanor Medveš abse; Vida Gregorač Shega;
1 dred Brancel Vidmar; jjelen Vaiicic; Albina •j.0zelnik; Frank Turk; John rinko; and Joseph Sterle.
There were 133 who *duated in the class of 1936, jqq -*3 are deceased. Out of to > the committee was unable ■j, contact two of them, eresa Veber and Jean Oder. Four of the deceased ^t'ficed their lives on the Prj f freedom:	Anton
Oic; Anthony Fortuna; k h Repar, and Frank
66bnic'
oUt °T the graduates attended ' C|as°^a Possible 98, giving this 0j. s an attendance percentage athost 65 S, which is very
good for a grade school reunion. Total number of people who came to the festivities was 114, including Mrs. Mary Kosir, widow of graduate Godfrey Kosir. The families of two of the deceased graduates, Joseph Kosoglav and Josephine Kasic, gave monetary gifts in their memory. The class of 1936 thanks them all.
The classmates who came long distances were the following: Frank Peterlin, Torrance, Calif., Frank Luzar, Port Richey, Fla., Anna Bartol Argenziano, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Helen Poklicky Rachal, Safety Harbor, Fla., Rudy Klemenčič, Spring Hill, Fla., and Mary Hace Williams, Binghamton, NY. In appreciation, each one was given a bottle of wine. Mrs. Poklicky, the 90 year old mother of Helen Rachal, also came from Florida with her daughter to be a special guest.
The class of 1936 wants to give special recognition to the following for a job well done: Josephine Perpar, for the beautiful table centerpieces; to Eleanor Medveš Hlabse and Helen Vahcic, for the beautiful decorations in the hall.
Winners of gifts in the ensuing categories were as follows: Coming the farthest: Frank Peterlin, Torrance, Cal; Married the longest:	Sophie
Ponikvar Krasovic, 47 years; Most children: Anthony Cimperman, 12; Most grandchildren: Joseph Modic, 10; and Most great grandchildren: Eleanor Medveš Hlabse, 2.
The St. Vitus Class of 1936 wants to say this : “We want to say ‘thanks a million’ to all who attended and made our 50th Anniversary such a joyous and happy day!’’
* * *
Sunday, June 8, 1986 was graduation day for the St. Vitus Class of 1986. A total of 24 boys and girls received their diplomas at the noon Mass. The Class of 1926 also celebrated its 60th Anniversary at the same time. Coni grats to all!

***
Golden Wedding Bells are still ringing in my ears! What a beautiful occasion it was for a very well known and respected Collinwood couple, John and Mary Petrie, of 451 E. 156th St. It happened on Sun., June 15, 1986 with a Mass of Thanksgiving at noon in St. Marys Church, officiated by pastor, Rev. Victor Tome. John and Mary renewed their wedding vows before a throng of parishioners and friends. After the Mass, a large crowd joined them at the Holmes Ave. Slovenian Home, from 1 to 4:00 pm to partake of a delicious meal, and offer them congratulations and well wishes. To John, the well known semi retired barber, and his beautiful wife, Mary, we say: Congrats and best wishes for many more years of health and happiness! Happy vacation time to all of you readers!

Downtown Euclid Community Festival 5
It’s that time of year again-time for the 7th Annual Downtown Euclid Community Festival. This year’s theme is “A Shore Celebration”. The Crowd Pleasers (one of the most popular groups last year) will kick off the festivities on Wednesday, June 25 at 7:00 p.m.
The festival, a communitywide “family reunion”, is held in Downtown Euclid on the Shore Civic Centre grounds and Babbitt Road.
Sponsors are needed for the Arts and Crafts tent and for several evenings of entertainment. Each sponsor will be listed in the Festival Tab and in most ads.
Many sponsors are repeating again this year. The Chamber of Commerce will again sponsor the big entertainment tent. The Smythe-Cramer Realtors had a “party” for the crowd last year and they are planning the same this year. Sam and Vinnie Carlo of Carlo’s Pizzeria will sponsor “teen night” for the third year. (Sam has more fun than the kids/). To sponsor an evening of entertainment, call Del Tekielli, Festival Coordinator, 289-2833.
While the Festival’s primary purpose is a community celebration, it’s also an opportunity for businesses to market to the nearly 100,000 people who attend. It’s a good medium to promote future sales.
There are many ways to promote a business at the Festival. A business can set up a display or sales booth, share the Chamber of Commerce
Booth, or Downtown Euclid Association’s big tent to distribute coupons, flyers or promotional gifts, or place an ad in the Sun-Journal’s Festival Tab. Businesses from all over the City are invited to donate a product or service to be auctioned at the Festival Auction. (You may auction it off yourselO- Contact Lisa Petsanis at 289-2835 to have your donation picked up.

Dr. Jakomin will begin her residency at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in the department of Radiology.
The entire staff of the American Home and all her relatives and friends are very proud and also congratulate her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Jakomin on this outstanding achievement.

Summer is often associated w>th long, sunny, and hot days where many dormant activities such as baseball games, pieces, walks in the park, and other outdoor events are once a8ain revived: It is a time for v*vacious living. The warmer Weather seems to be back on a caH in each one of us. to the same Hght the St. Vitus Summer Festival once again P*ays a major role in not only toe surrounding St. Clair area ut to a larger dimension, ^teater Cleveland: a time of major activity and participa-10n by many parishioners and/or friends of St. Vitus to sta8e a colorful event each ^ear for the past 35 years.
.he Summer Festival in par-•cular seems to unite many Pe°ple with goals and objec-tlVes for the benefit of many: raising of funds for capital improvements in the parish Physical, structures and ^0unds; offering of scholar-'P and operating money to • Vitus school and Slovenian an8uage school; providing a jPaior social event; and lastly, avtog people work together as todividuals and a team.
^11 the detail planning and c Ruling would really mean othing were it not for the IP°re than 200 volunteers who are their time, energy, and a ents at this event. For them
0 tosk is too large nor too
small.
^ nt constantly amazed at the edication these same and PeWer faces have toward mak-8 toe Summer Festival a suc-^Ss year after year. On behalf toe Committee we do ex-
Message from the Chairman
tend a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for the many years of service by the volunteers.
Since the last Summer Festival much has been accomplished:
—installation of new unbreakable lexan glass over the
stained glass windows in the church.
—repainting, replacement of rotted wood by the stained glass windows in the outside church windows.
—replacement of tiles, new lining, flashing on one roof section of the church.
— copper gutters, ventilators, etc., were replaced and installed on parts of the church roof. —complete remodeling of the bar/lounge room in the auditorium converted into a meeting/lounge room. This room has been named the “Slovenska Soba (Slovenian Room)” in honor of the foun-
Vitus, who established the parish in 1893.
Cost for the Church windows and gutter/roof work and Slov. Room amounted to approximately $70,000. The window/roof work has been completed while the Slovenska Soba is scheduled for completion by the end of July 1986.
You can see how important the Summer and Fall Festivals are when a large portion of payment for the above expenses were possible due to the fund raising from the festivals.
You’ll also note that this is the second year we are printing and using a tabloid newspaper format to commemorate what is occurring at St. Vitus parish. Please refer to the index elsewhere in this paper for the listing of events at the festival plus other information. The Committee thanks the individual sponsors/patrons and businesses who enabled the printing of this tabloid.
We hope that each person who has an opportunity to visit the St. Vitus Summer Festival will sample the varied types and format of food and entertainment. The $4,500 in cash and $1,500 in gift prizes is an added reason to support this event.
Once again, we do appreciate your continued support of this event. A hardy welcome and thank you!! Hvala Lepa Vsem!!

The Showcase Show Band
The Showcase show band features a three man horn section, a guitar, bass guitar, and drummer. Showcase can play any format of music ranging from jazz to rock - to polka.
The band recreates mostly, however, the music from the Big Band era through the rock hits of today. Add some
polkas and country music, and you have one of the most versatile bands in the Cleveland area.
Showcase will be performing at the St. Vitus Summerfest in 1986 to please the hearts of old and young, playing many songs that can be danced.
Hočevar Family Plays Together
Out of love for the button box accordion, Andy Hočevar began the Hočevar Family Band in 1981 to promote Slovenian music and heritage. Although there are dozens of button box clubs in the area, somehow this band is unique in their own way; sharing the same family background.
Heading the group is Andy Hočevar on accordion. Andy’s wife, Marge, keeps the rhythm on the banjo. Daughter-in-law Marijo and cousin Eric Veselic complete the accordion trio. Son-in-lavv Bob Szabo fills in
X/
with bass guitar and son Steve keeps the beat on drums.
The group’s highlights include several television appearances, hosting a 1984 Yugoslavian tour, and most recently, Bedford’s “Party in the Park”, where the group performs in the city’s Gazebo.
The Hočevar Family Band thanks you for the opportunity to perform at the annual Summer Festival. “We enjoy playing to people who enjoy listening and dancing to our music”.
Rockettes to Blast Off
The Euclid Rockettes
For the 20 women and 2 men who comprise the Euclid Senior Rockettes, dancing is a way of life and their special way of bringing life to others.
The Rockettes who range in age from 66-83 years young, include not only grandparents, but also, great grandmothers and great grandfathers.
In February 1983, they began performing together under the direction of Mary Zilke. Since that time, they have given over 475 performances.
The formation of the Rockettes was a dream come true. Many members have always wanted to dance before an audience, but never thought their dreams would ever become a reality. They have been most successful, performing on the average of three shows a week.
The Rockettes have no “magic youth formula.” They, too, suffer from the effects of aging, such as arthritis, but these infirmities serve as an inspiration to the
many people they perform in hospitals, nursing honl.o’ retirement complexes, sen , centers and shelters workshops.	. ^
They have traveled r ^ Lorain to Geauga County a down to Columbus bring'^ smiles and cheers as they P form for charity benefit -church groups, civic or^anl n. tions, bowling banquets, niversary celebrations, 1 ^ day parties, and countr^ C ,!lien

Harry Hershey to Swing Out July 13
Harry Hershey has been in music since his early teens, directing and arranging music for big bands and show groups in the late 40’s playing for teen canteens, dances, school assemblies, and even a radio show on WERE.
During the 70’s, Harry reorganized and cut the size of the band to accomodate the sounds of the newer music. He played for the grand opening of the Marriott Inn West and spent 10 years with the Hospitality Motor Inns of Cleveland. This group, called the “Engineers”, also made appearances at Holiday Inns, Ramada Inns, and other well known hotels and lounges in and around the Cleveland area.
Larry re-organized a 12 piece orchestra when he was appointed music director for the 40’s show, “Stompin’ at the State”. This orchestra performed for 77 weeks at the State Theater in Playhouse Square. When the theater was closed for renovation, the Harry Hershey Orchestra remained together performing for numerous affairs.
In 1981, Harry was asked'by Larry Robinson to represent WBBG 1260 AM Radio as the “Harry Hershey and the WBBG Orchestra”. The orchestra has performed for the WBBG Big Band dances and the Big Band Brunch at Sw-ingos at the Statler, which also includes a 1 hour radio broadcast every Sunday at noon.
Harry has many other accomplishments during the last 35 years- He has just retired from a dedicated 27 years teaching career In the Euclid Public Schools, After 35 years, he is also a retired church organist and choir director. In 1962, Harry and a Jr. High School Principal organized the Euclid Civic Orchestra and Choir. He directed the Euclid Civic Orchestra for 2 years until it became city chartered. He then stepped down to give other local directors a chance to conduct this fine group. From the mid to late 60’s, Harry was the organist for The Cleveland Indians at the stadium.
Popular ‘Kres’ to appear at St. Vitus
The Slovenian community in the Greater Cleveland area is fortunate to have so many diverse and active cultural groups performing year round to the pleasure of many persons in Greater Cleveland. One of these groups is the dance folklore group “Kres.” Kres was organized over 30 years ago after the arrival of many immigrants from Slovenia at the end of World War II.
Kres has performed not only in the Greater Cleveland area but also in cities such as Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, and in Europe. The group visited Italy, Austria, and Slovenia when it performed in Europe.
Many of the current members of Kres are second, third, and fourth generation Slovenians in America. For some, the opportunity to perform in a dance group is a manner whereby they can express their feelings and emotions about the Slovenian culture. For others it is a way where language, dance, and song merge into one format and can be experienced in a dance number.
The members not only perform various traditional Slovenian dances but also include a number of American
western dances.
The current directors of Kres are Breda Lončar, Bernie Ovsenik, and Veronika Žnidaršič. Additional dances taught to younger performers are by Jane Jaksic.
Many of the members in Kres have also been educated in the
Slovenian language at either St. Vitus or St. Mary (Collin-wood) Slovenian Language Schools.
Kres invites any person of Slovenian background to join this well-known nationality dance group and provide an aspect of the Slovenian culture in America in the future.

Message from the Pastor
by Father Joseph Boznar
For many years around this time, the thoughts and energies 'of St. Vitus Parishioners turn to the task of Putting on the annual parish summer festival, which this year is set for the days of July H>12,and 13. Hundreds of Parish volunteers turn out to work and serve thousands of
PeoPle who come to enjoy 8°od times with their friends n neighbors. Visitors come n°t 0nly from the Cleveland area, but frequently from far away places as New York State and California because they car about the festival from e*r family members and nends. They come to dance, lne. watch nationality folk
dancers perform or simply to socialize in the friendly at-mostphere of the festival.
For this year, the Festival Committee has added another important touch to the festival. This feature, the Saturday evening mass featuring Slovenian Marian songs, touches the very ancient roots of Slovenian spirituality and religiously focusing on Mary, the Mother of God. Devotion to Mary originated very early in their conversion to Christianity twelve hundred years ago. Some of the oldest churches in Slovenia proper and in Koroška are dedicated to Mary. The most frequently visited pilgrimage in Slovenia
today is Our Lady of Brezje which draws hundreds of thousands of pilgrims every year. Many American Slovenians visiting Slovenia make a point of stopping to pray at Brezje, just as their parents and grandparents did before them.
In America, we have Our Lady of Breezje Shrine at Le-mont Illinois which the Slovenian Franciscan Fathers build as a place of prayer for American Slovenians.
The Festival Committee invites everyone to come to this specially planned Mass on Saturday July 12, at 5:00p.m. in St.Vitus Church.

The Happy Slovenes
The Happy Slovenes
Duke Marsic’s Orchestra	the star feature at one of
“The Happy Slovenes” are celebrating their 23rd Anniversary as a performing Band in 1986.
Duke Marsic and his boys were the first musicians in America to feature Europe’s most popular style of playing polkas and waltzes “Avsenik way”. Avsenik style (also known as Original Oberkrainer style) originated in 1953 in Slovenia, Yugoslavia and through years became the most popular style in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia. There are over 1000 bands in Europe playing with original Avsenik combination which consists of accordion, clarinet, trumpet, guitar and baritone horn “minature brass band”. Duke Marsic’s orchestra is
Cleveland’s most popular restaurants “Hofbrau Haus”, for the past 21 years. Members of the band are leader Duke Marsic (clarinet, sax, flute), Marjan Tonkli (accordion), Edward Mejac (trumpet), Emil Benegalija (guitar and vocals), Tony Ovsenik (baritone and basš). Frequent female vocalists with the band are Blanka Tonkli and Cvetka Rihtar. They recorded five LPs
In the past twenty years the orchestra performed in many cities in northern United States including Washington D.C. and Canada. In 1972 orchestra went on three week tour of Europe. Orchestra also performs on many annual cultural Slovenian and other nationality events.
The Slovak Culture Group is now entering its sixth year.
During this period it has maintained the folk dance group “Travnica” and a Slovak language school.
The successes of Travnica are numerous. We will take note of the outstanding performances at civic functions. It is in this manner, that we can show to all people the beautiful traditions and cultures of Slovakia.
In our city, we performed at the All Nations Festival. The attendance crowd for our per-fomance exceeded one thousand persons.
At the Oktoberfest held at Lake County, we were privileged to perform on the band stand immediately
Slovak Culture Group Excels
following the band from Munich Germany.
At the conclusion of our performance the audience of one or more thousand gave the group a thunderous ovation.
The group was also complimented on their costumes as well as the performance.
Other civic events were Pride of Parma. Lakewood Arts Fair, Canton Civic Days, Detroit Festival, The Slovak Festival in Cleveland, John Carrol University and Kent State University.
This year we performed at the Home and Flower Show. We were sponsored by the Ohio Bell Telephone Company.
The performance was a huge success. Aisles on three sides were jammed with spectators.
Thousands of people were made aware of our Slovak culture. Needless to say that many Slovaks were also reintroduced to it.
The performers are proficient in the dance, they are colorfully costumed in authenic dress as to the region from whence these dances originated. The group has a repertoire which is pleasing to any audience, irrespective of age or ethnic origin.
Joseph and Eva Novak are the husband and wife choreographers.
The senior group is under the direction of Rosemary Mackovjak. Maja Ivancak is the director of the junior group.

Various SIovenian-American Artists were invited to participate at the St. Vitus church festival on Saturday, July 12. An art exhibit will be set up in the Auditorium so it can be held rain or shine. You are invited to view the art works and talk to the friendly pleasant artists who are looking forward to meeting you.
A variety line-Up o£ song, dance,'music and art will be featured, along with food, refreshments and fun, drawing people together in a friendly neighborhood atmosphere.
Some of the participants belong to various Slovenian cultural organizations such as the Slovenian Art Guild.
The Art Guild was organized in 1973 for artists and supporting members with the common interest of art, with special emphasis on Slovenian heritage and culture. This interest has proven popular
	enough and added dimension in our cultural network.
III	It is important to point out
	that the Art Guild is the only
If	group of its kind in the United
	States among Slovenians, and
: 'n:	»v	also not to be found among other nationalities either.
The Art Guild has been motivated in its purpose of being to promote the artists an adding presentations of '0 culture and traditions such as the butare, pisanke 0 decorated eggs, and čipke bob bin lace. Research of the no^ reknown splasher cloths whic have become collectibles has brought added attention to t ® Slovenians, especially throng the publication “Splasher Cloths: Traditional Slovenain Stitchery” which was suP ported in part by the Oh'0 Arts Council, oh' Humanities Council, and t Slovenian American Her'13® Foundation.

We are interrupted here as in Westminster Abbey by a minister saying the Lord’s Prayer to remind us that this too is a functioning church today. We sit down beneath the great dome until prayer is over. We glance up to see the Whispering Gallery just below the top of the dome. Words whispered on one side can be distinctly heard on the opposite side of the dome. We do not have the time (nor inclination) to climb its 259 steps to get an impressive view of the concourse below.
Prayer over, we continue our tour. We pass the statue of Samuel Johnson and his famous Dictionary. The tomb of Lord Nelson is on the ground below. He died at sea and to preserve his body, it was stuffed in a barrel of brandy and brought back to England. To this day his body is still preserved in the barrel.
Continuing our tour, we walk through the choir screen looking at the high altar. We pass a statue of Mother and Child by Henry Moore donated by Rockefeller. Beautiful, but too modern and seems out of place to us.
As we are leaving the church, there is an Easter display of three crosses, a tomb with displaced stone, and flowers in front. It is soon to be dismantled as Easter has gone by.
In the south aisle, we pass a modern statue of Nelson and

Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and happy summer.
the famous painting, ‘The Light of the World” by Homan Hunt.
We return to our bus and the hotel to prepare for a dinner at six at Winstons Restaurant and Wine Bar situated in the heart of Bloomsbury. Decor is a tribute to Winston Churchill—all kinds of pictures and memorabilia. We are seated in an intimate room on the second floor and are enjoying a delightful meal (Beef Wellington) before we set out for a . performance of CATS at the New London Theatre.
When we arrive at the theatre, we are astonished to find that we have to climb five flight of stairs—Dress Circle is . on the top of the circular theatre in-the-round. To our delight, seats are the best for overall viewing. CATS is adapted from Old Possum’s Book of Practical CATS by T. S. Eliot with music by Andrew Lloyd-Webber. CATS has played throughout the world. 1 had missed it when it was in Cleveland last year and am happy to be able to see this delightful extravagant production with its superb dancing, acting, and fantastic staging. What a delightful way to end the evening!
It has been a long day and we are ready to return to our hotel for a good night’s sleep in preparation for our tour on Tuesday. But that is not the case! Once again at 1:15 am we are awakened to the sound of the fire alarm ringing intermittently. Not wishing to take any chances, we again proceed to the ground level and there not being a fire, we return to our room. (Two days later we find a letter from the hotel management apologizing for the annoyance and inconvenience we have suffered and explaining that since they are in the process of refurnishing throughout the hotel, the cause of the alarm going off is basically sensitivity of the system aggravated by new carpets and a temporarily high level of static electricity.) I wonder if that was the reason—a young man from our group confessed to us on the last day of our London tour that he had dialed his mother in Boston at 1:15 am and was unable to reach her. He used letter “R” button automatically to recall the number (as that is how his phone at home is set up); however, in Enland the “R” button is for fire call!) Tuesday, April 15, 1986-Shakespeare Country: Stratford and Oxford
To cheery, “Come along, Campers, Hop to it” from our guide, we get ready for our tour along the scenic Thames Valley with the following comments from Bertie:	In
Shakespeare’s days theatres were not allowed in the city — fire precautionary reasons—you could look over the Thames River and see a flag which let you know a play was being performed; today’s
working week consists of 49 hours a week on the average; office workers have 37.5 hour work weeks; industries with strong unions have better wages (such as coal miners); everyone pays at least 1/3 of salary at source for medical care; IRS stands for Inland Revenue Service (referred to sometimes as “Infernal Revenue Service”).
We have just passed Trafalgar Square and commanding the square is Nelson’s column (about 200 feet high) with statute of Nelson (three times life size) England’s greatest naval hero on top and at the bottom four bronze lions; the Queen Victoria Memorial—a white marble statue with gilded bronze victory at the top and a seated figure of the queen facing east-; home of the present Queen’s mother—a flag on pole indicating she is in residence; the house of Lord Byron who awoke one morning on the publication of CHILDE HAROLD in 1811 in , find himself famous; the home of Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister to Queen Victoria, at No. 19 where he died in 1881: Speaker’s Corner—no longer being allowed to be used for political speeches; in olden days one could be hanged for stealing loaf of bread or breaking windows; even children put to death for these reasons; paused momentarily to view the smallest house in London which belongs to Prince Philip—it is a small red building that he goes to when he wants privacy; points out an animal sanctuary—English are very fond of dogs and are allowed to bring them into restaurants; Kensington Gardens, orignally 20 acres but extended finally to 275 acres, contains famous statue of Peter Pan. Bertie remarks that people do not smile while walking on streets in London-just look at them, like Russians, no smiles; hats are not worn (even bowlers are almost gone) only occasionally one can see a man with a fur cap on and he wears it to show that he has been to Russia; you don’t see big cars because of traffic conditions—island measures 900 miles; London fnto Wales is under 300 miles; you cannot be more than 73 miles to the sea; total population is about 57 million; most power generally supplied by oil followed by gas and coal; 40 percent power supplied from nuclear power; there are ten morning newspapers to choose from; people who read Financial Times own the country—others only think they own the country; people who read the Sun don’t give a “damn” just as long as they can open the paper and find a picture with someone with “boobs” (opens his paper and shows us such a picture) illustrated—that accounts for the 4 million daily subscriptions (similar to our Enquirer wouldn’t you say?); if you counted the chimneys (or pots)
on top of the roof of a house, you can tell how many rooms are in the house. Today with centralized heating, smoke is no longer emerging from chimneys; “semi-detached” means our duplex; there are only 4 TV Stations—2BBC (Government owned) and 2 Commercial (contents are similar). To watch TV you have to pay for a license, $60 per year.
We are passing Guinness Brewery—in the newspapers at this time because one of the heiresses was being held for ransom—she was saved by quick action on the part of police.
Joke by Bertie: “If you manage three drinks, you feel single but see double.”
Now passing Harrow School founded in 1571— it is a well-known public (to us private) school where the aristocracy sent their children to school. Winston Churchill went there—he was not very bright and was given history and English lessons and how well this served him in the future; The Katyn Memorial to massacred Polish officers is a polished black granite obelisk crowned with a gold eagle erected in 1976; observe a model of a “Spitfire” airplane in the field which did such yeoman service in the last war; however, when it sent into a dive or a roll, the engine would stop because of a design weakness.
We are now passing an artificial ski slope covered with nylon. London’s snowfall depends on the “pattern coming from Europe”. This year London (which usually gets belts of snow) has had just a few inches of snow; 4 below was the coldest temperature in London this year.
Cars have yellow plates in back and white plates in front to show which is the front and back of the car especially since they allow parking in either direction on narrow streets.
England has very strong zoning regulations—you need permission to build residences on country land; people do not pay property tax on land—farm buildings are exempt—only commercial and residence properties are taxed.
Crops are mainly barley, oats, wheat, mustard seed, beets. England is 85 percent self-sufficient—as a matter of fact, farmers are too efficient and there is over-production mainly on dairy products. Dairy farmers this year have been ordered to level herds back to the size of 1984 herds as a result of the fact that England is a member of the European Commonwealth.
Passing Wycomb’s, manufacturer of fine furniture; now seeing listening devices in field (pick up messages from Europe).
Trees are: oak, elm, birch, beech, and lots of pine. Grass does stay greener here over the

year probably because of so much rain.
Passing another Telecommunication Tower; sheep are on the increase as we note a number of sheep farms—average farm only about 200 acres; average price about $3,000 an acre.
In the distance we see the University Town of Oxford, home of the world’s greatest ^ universities. Students were < mostly sons of royalty in the early days. Curricula consisted mostly of education and religious courses. Most started out as colleges and they came together for their own protection and developed into universities. The earliest were founded by Bishops and they were able to attract the young men into the church. Since the older son got the inheritance under English law, the second •• and third sons pursued careers in the army or church, and the fourth generally went to America. Oxford University is made up of 36 separate colleges, some of which were founded in the 13th century. Student population only 11,000; inhabitants of town about 14,000; attention given to attract youths between ages 5 and 16; leaving schobfk age 16; however, student may go into other forms of education; however, you may stay until age 18 if you intend to go to college. They do’not have our system of grades—you go from the infants to the juniors, then to the comprehensive education courses. All grammar schools are for selected and bright children. GCE (General Comprehensive Education) examinations are passed for any type of profession you may choose to study. To study or not is up to you; only “A” level is considerd passing.
When you apply to Oxford, how do you choose a college? You first are guided by the Headmaster of your school who may suggest a college. In order that you may be interviewed, he asks what you subject you wish to “read”. Once you have passed the comprehensive entrance exams, all of your education is free. You can get grants for living expenses. Term starts first week in October and there are three 8-week terms. You are assigned your room and a tutor who assigns you your work. He guides you through your educational career. All is very leisurely. You see your tutor about every four weeks and discuss your progress. You “read” a subject. Most students take PPE—politics, philosophy, and economics. All women’s colleges were founded about the 1890’s. Nearly all colleges now are coeducational. We are passing the Common Communal Lec-turn hall where you take the entrance exams. Here a French diplomat once said: “Raise your asses and roast the king” instead of “Raise your glasses and toast the night.” Rhodes
Foundation, the most famous, is available to German, American, and English students.
We are now stopping at a card shop for a brief spell. Sixty percent of the people residing here are from the upper-middle class. On our return to our bus, Bertie calls out: “Raise your hand if you aren’t here.” One of our friends was a little late in boarding and before Bertie could say anything, she remarked: “Don’t say anything, because I’m spending money in your country.” She had several packages in her arms.
As we continue our journey, we are noting a number of thatched roof cottages, also brick and wooden slate roofs which last from 40 to 50 years.
We stop in Blandon a nearby village to Blenheim to visit the simple grave of Winston Churchill. He is buried here, but only the ashes of his American wife, Jennie, are buried with him. Also alongside him are graves of two daughters, his son, mother, and father. Blenheim Palace was not his home—but ancestral home—and it was most important to him because of the fact that he was born here and married.
When Churchill argued with Lady Astor in parliament one day, she said: “Sir, ‘if I were your wife, I would put poison in your tea.” Whereupon Churchill replied: “Madam, if I were your husband, I would drink it.”
John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, lives on property located on Crown land worth 12 million dollars today. In recognition of services to England, his descendants every year pay tax by bringing a small French flag in lieu of money as per original agreement with the Crown. If he should fail to bring the flag, the property will revert to the Crown.
We are entering one of the smallest towns in England—Woodstock. In a distant field trees planted in the formation of the French and English battleground have been cut down now because of elm tree disease. But the statue of first Duke of Marlborough can be clearly seen from the road.
Once again we stop at a coffee shop and are talking to a fellow traveler who told us that she and her husband had been waiting for a double decker bus the other day in London and she had just taken a cigarette as a bus came along so she threw it on the ground to stamp on it. Bus driver in Cockney accent said: “What a waste of a good cigarette; you could have smoked it on the upper level of the bus.”
Ahead of us is something you don’t see (per Bertie)—a coal Lorry—a flat bed truck with sacks of individual sacks for delivery to homes. These sacks were carried on driver’s, shoulder (just as our ice mah" carried' fee to us ‘ in the old
days.)
Once again We are seeing many thatched roofs which keep houses warm in winter and cool in summer. Roofs are built on a capillary system of interweaving.
This year will be the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Domesday Book in which every single item was recorded for tax purposes. Bertie remarks that nothing destroys one’s morale more than envy.
We have just crossed a 15th century bridge in Strafford-upon-Avon. The town is here simply because of the river crossing. We are passing Almshouses built originally for the poor by the Parish. We stop to do some shopping in town and a bite to eat before proceeding to Warwick Castle, the 14th century impressive structure overlooking the river.
We are met at the door by a very distinguished gentleman who is the present owner of the Castle, the Earl of Warwick. He is personally going to escort us 'through the tour. After Bertie’s introduction of the Earl, one of our travelers remarks that Bertie knows how to make himself known and he does it magnificently.
Warwick Castle was converted from a fortress to a private mansion in the 16th century, and it has become famous for its collections of great masters including Rubens and Van Dyck. As you enter, you see a small chapel which some believe has been built on top of a smaller chapel beneath. It is known for the large medieval stained glass window behind the altar, the heavy Polish brass chandelier, the mid-16th century Brussels tapestry depicting a scene from the story of Hezekiah with the seated King and attendant courtiers, the fine plasterwork in the ceiling embellished with coats-of-arms, a beautiful Italian campana-shaped vase dated about 1830 which has been illuminated inside in order to show the delicate carving of the classical figures, but the most impressive piece of woodcarving is a carved panel showing in full relief the legendary tribe of women, the Amazons, fighting the Greeks for possession of a bridge. Sorry, but it looks as though the women were losing the battle.
The State Dining Room is magnificent. The furniture in this room is mixture of English and Italian. The set of six Venetian walnut armchairs are still covered by the original material as are the 18th century armchairs. Over the fireplace is a very interesting picture of two lions from the studio of Sir Peter Paul ; Rubens and painted by Frans Snyders who worked with Rubens and helped him in the painting of animals, particularly for his large canvasses. The room is dominated by an equestrian portrait of Charles 1 from the studio of Sir' Anthony van Dyck. Two other pictures o1 ^ftfderlčk,
Prince of Wales, and Augusta, Princess of Wales, are framed in ornate frames which are carved in pine wood and then covered in pure gold leaf. This princess of Wales gave her name to the two American cities of Augusta in Georgia and in Maine. This room over the years has witnessed many distinguished diners.
The Great Hall (40 feet high, 62 feet long, and 45 feet wide) was built in the 14th century and was used for just about everything. There would have been a fire in the center of the room with a hole in the roof to let out the smoke. In 1871, there was a very bad fire which damaged the hall. By 1875 the work of remodeling was completed.
Of interest is Earl Guy’s porridge pot standing in front of the window. It was named after Earl Guy of Warwick and had been used in the 14th century as a cooking pot for the soldiers.
The Kenilworth Buffet is a gigantic oak buffet showing scenes of pageantry when Queen Elizabeth visited Kenilworth in 1575. Standing in front of it is a child’s armor. Warwick Castle has a fine collection of arms and armor—about one thousand pieces.
The Red Drawing Room, its name comes from the color of the panelling, red lacquer enhanced with gilding, functioned as a private withdrawing room for the lord and his family after the conclusion of their meals. Dominating the room is a painting of Jeanne D’Aragon who was one of the most distinguished ladies of the 16 century and was known for her beauty and wit.
The Cedar Drawing Room is the grandest room. The walls are intricately carved cedar-wood panelling. The elaborate plaster ceiling about 300 years old has been carved by Italian craftsmen. The magnificent Aubusson 19th century carpet was woven in one piece in France. In the center of the room is a very elaborate 17th century Florentine table inlaid with marbles and semiprecious stones. The room contains 18th century English chandliers with the exception of the one in the center which is Irish crystal from Waterford,,a number of pictures and busts, and elaborate tables and chairs.
The Green Drawing Room receives its name from the green-painted panelling with gold. This room was used for a time as a billard room. Around the walls are a number of srhaller paintings. Again the center of the room is dominated by an oblong table inlaid with hardstones—semiprecious stones such as jasper, agate, lapis, etc. The table was brough from Venice by the third Earl of Warwick. The Grimani arms appear on the table as also does the “Doge’s Cap” indicating that at least one member of the family held the appointment of “Doge of Venice”. Two large portraits of William Lord Brooke and Mtffv', lady Brooke, by
Michael Dahl, a Swedish painter, show the figures in full length wearing Coronation Robes for the Coronation of King George I in 1714.
The Queen Anne Bedroom takes its name from the bed which was used by the Queen at Windsor Castle. The ceiling in this room is of special interest, fine plasterwork rich in gold leaf.
Among the most valuable treasures in the Castle are the very beautiful tapestries signs by Franciscus Spiringius, 1604, bearing the Brussels mark. The tapestries are near ly 400 years old and the detai on them is remarkable.
The Blue Boudoir takes its name from the color of the wall coverings. The room 18 dominated by a splendid Por trait of Henry VIII in his ear y forties. You cannot help “ be impressed by the kings powerful features. The pnr trait is painted on panel an massive ornate frame sur rounds it. On the wall is beautiful silver-faced cloc which once belonged to Marl Antoinette; it still keeps g°0 time.

Fr. Vendelin Leaves St. i Stephen Church - Chicago
Over 400 parishioners and friends of Rev. Dr. Vendelin Spendov, O.F.M., gathered at St. Stephen’s Center on Sunday, June 8th, to celebrate his appointment as Guardian of the Slovenian Franciscan Custody of Christ the King, located at Lemont, Illinois. Fr. Vendelin is leaving his post as pastor of St. Stephen’s Church (Slovenian Catholic) and will assume his new position June 30, 1986.
With mixed feelings, the parish families including the children of St. Stephen’s school and the Slovene Language School, bid him farewell or in their words: “Na svidenje” — ‘‘Au revoir”—“Auf Wiedershen” but not goodbye/ The theme of the party, hosted by the parish council, was one of joy and appreciation.
Fr. Vendelin came to St. Stephen’s church as pastor 6 years ago having previously served as assistant pastor some years back. He was, in the interval, pastor of St. George’s Church on Ewing Ave. in South Chicago and spent some years in Europe.
Because of his quiet, unassuming ways, Fr. Vendelin gained the admiration of all. In a diverse, cosmopolitan parish as is St. Stephen’s, he was able to instill a feeling of togetherness and mutual appreciation among all the various nationalities. It is a very active parish and because of its inner-city location, Fr. Vendelin’s task was very demanding. Now, as the new Guardian, his work will be of a different nature, however, requiring much the same kind of understanding and spiritual depth as did his pastoral work.
Fr. Vendelin has also gained prominence in music circles in Europe and America as the composer of religious and secular music, cantatas and arrangements of Slovene folk-melodies. Among his published works are “Sest Marijinih pesmi”, Marian hymns, “Stvarniku” (To the Creator),
Masses in Slovene an<^ English, Responsorial Psalm5 { and Allelujas for Slovene and r English Liturgies and Can-tatas in Latin and Slovene. ^ Various compositions have f been printed in the A MARIA monthly magazine, o including Slovene mass hymnS n and folksongs. Many of 15 e major compositions have been t( performed by choruses and or. $ chestras around the country, Since 1977, Fr. Vendelin W j, been the director of the member chorus “Slovensk „ Pesem” and currently direc^ a the ‘‘France Prešeren f| chorus, both groups ^aVl^ h appeared numerous times i j, concert. On May 10th o r cent date, the SlovensK , Pesem chorus, augmente 20 member symphonic ^ chestra presented a concer,|1{ sacred and folk music at magnificent St. Paul s c u in Chicago,	.	.	'

shot were. They were expertly edited and complete with titles.
Sad to say, it was during this part of the showing that we, the younger set became somewhat restless and noisy. Wisely, Mr. Grdina would quickly start a “Felix the Cat” or “Mickey Mouse” to get our attention again.
It was after the cartoon that some of those in the audience would beam with pride as Anton would show movies of their backyard gardens.
It was really mind-boggling how a modest size backyard would appear on the silver screen as large and beautiful as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Roses were especially a favorite target of Mr. Grdina’s camera. The close-ups were vivid and colorful.
After the gardens were shown, movies of recent weddings were premiered. Blushing brides and gawky, nervous bridgegrooms would be recorded for posterity on film. As a wedding present to the newlyweds, the films weye given to the married couples after the initial showing, compliments of Mr. Grdina. /
It was then that thp evening’s program ended oh a most somber note-the viewing of sad funerals of some of the area’s well-known citizens.
The film program would usually end about 10:30 p.m. Some people would linger awhile to indulge in small talk. And some of the younger set would drift to Makovec’s or Novak’s Confectionery to enjoy a ten cent soda or malted milk.
The more mature and thirsty folks would stop at Modic’s,
Flaisman’s or Smole’ for a 1 7 heady thirst quencher.
Thus a pleasant summer > night’s entertainment was con- ^ eluded. It was an evening most leisurely and enjoyably spent in the company of friendly neighbors and acquaintances.
However, none of it would have been possible but through the kindness and generosity of Mr. Anton Grdina. He was a man who devoted much of his life bringing encouragement and hope to his people in those trying, less affluent years.

Don’t forget the basketball players
Editor:
I was telling my friend Mrs. Josephine Ermacora about how much I enjoy the news about the old neighborhood around E. 61 St. and St. Clair Ave. She is now a new subscriber.
1 particularly remember the St. Clair bathhouse and the basketball players and the games every Wednesday night. There was also baseball at Gordon Park on Sunday mornings.
My sister Fran Slaper Koporc was one of the basketball players.
Thanks for listening.
