LXVI liberalni senatorji so proti obstrukciji Vodilna liberalna senatorja, en demokrat in en republikanec, sta pozvala somišljenike, naj se pripravijo za boj proti obstrukciji. WASHINGTON, D.C: — Dva vodilna liberalna senatorja, republikanec Javits in demokrat Hart, sta s posebno okrožnico povabila svoje somišljenike, naj se pripravijo za boj proti privilegiju obstrukcije. Kdor hoče namreč sedaj obstruirati v senatu, to lahko dela precej brez skrbi, kajti nasprotniki obstrukcije morajo nabrati dve tretjini senatorjev, da zlomijo obstrukcijo. Ustvariti dvotretjinsko večino med senatorji je bilo zmeraj zelo težko. Zato je vsaka obstrukcija trajala dolgo v škodo rednega zakonodajnega dela. Nasprotniki obstrukcije bi radi dosegli, da bi jo zlomila že navada večina. Do sedaj so že osemkrat poskusili v senatu, da spremenijo pravila, pa se jim to ni posrečilo. Senatorji mislijo, da se bo ponesrečil tudi letošnji poskus. Novi senat je namreč postal veliko bolj konservativen, kot je bil prejšnji. Čim več je kanservativnih senatorjev, tem več pristašev imajo južni demokratski senatorji, ki so glavni zagovorniki kvalificirane večine. So pa obenem tudi tisti senatorji, ki se najrajše poslužujejo obstrukcije, kadar hočejo kaj doseči, pa nimajo za svoj predlog navadne senatne večine. Ako bosta senatorja Javits in Hart stavila predlog za potrebno spremembo senatnega poslovnika, bo ta predlog prišel prvi na Vrsto v plenumu. Proti njemu bodo koservativni senatorji začeli opozicijo. V tem slučaju bo zastalo vse drugo delo, zastal bo tudi postopek, ki bi vodil do ratifikacije znane pogodbe o kontroli prometa z nuklearnim strelivom. Za to pogodbo se pa zelo zanima Moskva. Dokler je Amerika ne ratificira, se Moskva ne bo spustila v nobena pomembnejša pogajanja z našo deželo. Tako bo akcija senatorjev Ja-vitsa in Harta imela posledice, ki nanje politika navadno ne misli. Novi grobovi Ft mk P.

Kitajski atomski fizik ubit HONG KONG. — Atomsko Znanost in proučevanje v ustanovah v rdeči Kitajski vodijo strokovnjaki, ki so se šolali v tujini, večina v Združenih državah. Eden od teh dr. Kuo Yung-huai je promoviral na univerzi V Kaliforniji in bil potem profesor na Cornell univerzi. Kasneje se je odločil za vrnitev domov in je bilo namestnik direktorja instituta za mehaniko Kitajske akademije znanosti. Po iz Kitajske sem došlih vesteh je bil pri neki nesreči ubit. Kake podrobnosti o tej nesreči doslej še ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti. Severni Korejci niso opustili "zedinjenja"! Severna Koreja še vedno dela načrte za osvojitev Južne Koreje, ki ?o jih ji leta 1959 p r e p rečili Združeni narodi. SEOUL, J. Kor. — Severna Koreja je pospešila svoje vojaške napore za osvojitev Južne Koreje. Trdijo, da ima pripravljenih in izvežbanih od 30,000 do 40,000 vojakov, ki jih bo poslala slej ali prej kot gverilce na jug organizirat upor. Ko bo ta v teku, če načrti seveda uspejo, bo potem Severna Koreja poslala na jug svojo redno armado upornikom pomagat, kot je to storil Severni Vietnam, ko je pohitel “na pomoč” Južnovietnamski O-svobodilni fronti: Predsednik Severne Koreje Kim il Sung prav nič ne taji ali skriva svojih načrtov. V preteklih mesecih je bilo izvedenih več poskusov organizirati oporišča v goratih, samotnih predelih Južne Koreje za upor proti vladi v Seoulu. Komandosi so prišli iz Severne Koreje v brzih čolnih, ki so se nato vrnili domov. Komandosi so imeli nalogo zasesti kako samotno vas, pridobiti za sebe prebivalstvo, nato pa se prebiti nazaj na sever preko Demilitarizane cone. Ker niso dobili pri domačinih nikjer opore, so vsi ti vpadniki žalostno končali. Na Severu so se zato odločili Iz slov. naselbin LORAIN, O. — Pretekli petek je umrla 82 let stara Johanna Paul z lu71 E. 29 St., roj.

Rockefeller ima prav malo upanja, da bi državna zakonodaja odborila kak “konstruktiven” načrt o reorganizaciji šolstva v mestu New York, koder je prišlo v preteklih mesecih ponovno do štrajka učiteljstva in do zaprtja šol. To bi bili mogoče le, če bi se vsi prizadeti sporazumeli za skupen predlog. Za sedaj na kak tak skupen predlog ne računa nihče, spor je še vedno oster.

PARIZ, Fr. — Včeraj so zastopniki Severnega Vietnama izdali z zastopniki Osvobodilne fronte Južnega Vietnama skupno izjavo, v kateri zahtevajo, da Združene države sprejmejo komunistično zahtevo po okrogli mizi za mirovno konferenco. V izjavi trdijo, da bo težko začeti konferenco, dokler bo v Saigonu sedanja vlada. Če bo že do nje prišlo, bo težko doseči kake uspehe. Skupno izjavo je na tiskovni konferenci prebral zastopnik OF. Vodja delegacije OF je bil sprejet včeraj pri francoskem zunanjem ministru na hudo nejevoljo delegacije Južnega Vietnama. Francosko zunanje ministrstvo je izjavilo, da je to samo po sebi razumljivo, ker je zunanji minister Michel Debre sprejel že preje tudi vodnike ostalihjreh_delegacij, ki so prišli na konferenco v Pariz. neposreden vojaški nastop Severne Koreje proti Južni.

Razgovori se b odo nemara začeli zopet šele po Novem letu, vendar pa ne pričakuje nihče, da bi bila konferenca v teku kaj prida pred 20 januarjem 1969, če bo sploh tedaj. Zdi se, da so vsi udeleženci spoznali, da ne more priti do nobene prave odločitve, dokler ne bodo Združene države dobile nove vlade. V Južnem Vietnamu boji SAIGON, J.

Veselje mine, skrbi minejo, žalost mine in človek se stara. Odpisuješ dneve, odpisuješ leta, počasi siviš in, ko pogledaš roke, vidiš, da se že tresejo. In se začudeno vprašaš: Kdaj vendar je vse to prišlo? Prepričan sem, da ste imeli lepe dneve. Vselej je lepo o božiču. Bog daj, da bi jih še dolgo praznovali v miru in v družinski skupnosti. * Dragi Kotičkov stric! V nedeljo po Vseh svetih smo šli na pokopališče “Vseh vernih duš“, kjer smo imeli molitve za mrtve. Bili smo na grobu starega očeta in stare mame. Kadar imata stara starša god (stara mama bi ga praznovala čez nekaj tednov), se zmeraj spominjam, kako je bilo, ko sta bila še živa. Danes bi Vam rad napisal nekaj spominov nanja. Prišla sta k nam, ko sem bil jaz še majhen. Takrat smo stanovali v Collinwoodu. Stara ma-ma me je naučila veliko lepega. Pripovedovala je pravljice in me učila moliti. Dostikrat mi je kaj kupila. Če je mama delala, je za nas skuhala kosilo in pospravila stanovanje. Tudi igrala se je z nami. S starim očetom sva šla vsak dan dvakrat na sprehod. Ker je bil že star, je rabil palico. Zato sem jo hotel tudi jaz imeti. Prehodila sva vse collinwoodske ceste, če sva bila trudna, sva počivala na stopnicah pri kakšni hiši. Po kosilu sva šla oba malo spat. Takrat so gradili novo cerkev Marije Vne-bovzete. Tudi tam sva se dostikrat ustavila in gledala, kako delajo. Na pomlad smo se selili v svojo hišo. Ker ni pločnika ob cesti, nisba več mogla na sprehod. Ker imamo velik vrt,sva se kar doma sprehajala in sedela na klopci. Stari oče je veliko govoril o svojem rojstnem kraju. Najbolj sem ga poslušal, ko je pripovedoval o zvoniku crhgrob-ske cerkve in o velikih zvonovih. Zelo me je tudi zanimalo, kako je služil vojake. Po dveh letih je stara mama nenadoma zbolela in čez par dni umrla. Zelo sem bil žalosten. Ko jo je prišel pogrebnik iskat, sem zelo jokal. Tri leta za staro mamo je umrl tudi stari oče. Žaloval sem za obema, čim starejši sem, bolj pogrešam staro mamo, ker moram sedaj jaz pomagati doma. Srečni so tisti otroci, ki imajo žive stare starše. Lepo Vas pozdravlja Janez Tominc. Dragi Janez! Navadno tako dolgih pisemc ne morem objaviti, toda Tvoje : sem, ker je napisano zelo lepo. 1 Rečem Ti, kjer so stari starši v 1 hiši, tam tudi slovenska beseda dobro živi.

Tebi bi pomagali kakšni trije ali štirje božiči na leto, meni pa nič. Moj penzijonček ostane isti, pa če bi bil božič vsak dan v letu. Tako, vidiš, sem še večji revež od Tebe. To naj Te tolaži. Lepo Te pozdravljam. * Dragi Kotičkov stric! V naši družini komaj čakamo nedelje. Očka je doma, šole ni, pravi praznik za vse. Če je lepo vreme, se kmalu po kosilu odpeljemo v park. Tam se veselje prične. Z bratoma se kot zajci razgubimo po gozdu. Posebno radi plezamo po drevesih. Tudi žogo igramo. Ko smo dovolj trudni, nam mama pripravi malico. Nato zakurimo ogenj in se igramo skavte. Preden odidemo, ogenj pogasimo in vse lepo pospravimo. Veseli in zadovoljni se odpravimo domov. Zame je to najlepše preživeta nedelja. Lepo Te pozdravlja Marko Resman. Dragi Marko! Lepa nedelja. Ko sem bil jaz majhen in sem zjutraj odbren-kal mašico, sem jo navadno drsnil v Gobovce. Na svoje. Žoge nisem imel in tudi malice nič. Poleti sem obiral jagode, jeseni pa borovnice in za gobicami gledal. Pa vendar je bilo lepo. Veš, narava je vedno lepa. Govori z drevesi in z rožicami in z živalcami in to je bil zame vedno naj lepši jezik. Rad hodim v naravo. Kdor razume njeno govorico, postane bogat. Lepo mi pozdravi oba brata in ata in mamo tudi. * Dragi Kotičkov stric! Moje ime je Rudi Lukež. Hodim v drugi razred slovenske šole. Jaz bom priden in rad pomagal svojemu bratcu. Komaj čakam, da pride sv. Miklavž v slovenski Cleveland. Lep pozdrav Rudi. Dragi Rudi! Miklavža si pričakal in vem, da Ti je kaj prinesel. Zdaj glej, da boš tudi priden, kakor si zapisal. Skrbno pazi na bratca in tudi atu in mami bodi v pomoč. Zdaj je že božič minil in leto bo minilo. Le še nekaj dni. Takoj na prvi dan novega leta skleni, da boš vsak dan poskušal nekaj dobrega napraviti. Tako boš vedno srečen in zadovoljen. Bog s Teboj skozi vse dni. Lepo Te pozdravljam. * Tako, končati moram. Mislil bom na vas vse in upam, da me v svojem veselju tudi vi ne pozabite. Lepo Vas pozdravlja vaš Kotičkov stric -------o------ Med prijatelji — Kako se počutiš v zakonskem stanu, prijatelj?

Romanje ameriških Slovencev po Evropi II. New York — Lizbona — Fatima (Nadaljevanje) Četrtek, 6. junija 1968: Sonce je nad Fatimo že skoraj zašlo, da smo končali naše pobožnosti v kapelici prikazovanj na trgu pred fatimsko baziliko. Nekateri od romarjev so še ostali v kapelici zatopljeni v svoje molitve, drugi pa so se podali na ogled bazilike. Fatimska bazilika se dviga nad dolino Cova da Iria in je o-srednja točka cele pokrajine. V večernem soncu, ki je bilo že prav nizko, je belo zidovje bazilike odbijalo zadnje sončne žarke in nudilo veličasten pogled. Nad dolino Cova da Iria je izglodala delno osvetljena bazilika kot prikazen, ki se dviga iznad zasenčene zemlje. Po neštetih stopnicah se pride iz doline k zunanjemu oltarju pred baziliko, ki ga uporabljajo za velike svečanosti in pobožnosti. Pri tem oltarju je papež Pavel VI. blagoslovil 13. maja 1967 kipe Naše Gospe Fatimske, ki sedaj potujejo po svetu, da ljudstva časte fatimsko Mater Božjo. Eden od teh kipov je bil postavljen na e v h a r i stičnem kongresu v Bogoti v Kolumbiji lansko jesen. Kakor je belo zidovje značilno za zunanjost fatimske bazilike, tako je tudi notranjost nenavadno svetla. Na tem romanju smo obiskali celo vrsto bazilik, toda nobena ni bila tako svetla v notranjosti kot fatimska. Ta notra- hočeš nja svetloba naredi na obiskovalca vtis izrednosti, ki jo ne najdemo nikjer drugod na sve- Ijen in nudi romarju občutek, da stoji med hrasti v Cova da Iria in vidi pred seboj nebeško obiskovalko. V baziliki sta pokopana Franček in Jacinta Marto, Lucijina bratranca, ki sta kmalu po fa-timskih dogodkih umrla. Njuna grobova sta na obeh straneh glavnega oltarja. Jacintin je na evangeljski, dočim je Frančkov na nasprotni strani. V baziliko, ki je posvečena skrivnostim rožnega venca, so ju prepeljali šele leta 1952. Prej sta bila pokopana v skupnem grobu v Fatimi. Ker so za Jacinto in Francka v procesu raziskovanja in priprave za proglašen j e med blažene in svetnike, so ju v bazili položili vsakega v svoj grob tako, da bo vsak mogoč čudež nedvomno pripisan enemu ali drugemu. Franček in Jacinta sta bila pobožna in globoko verna otroka že pred prikazovanji. Z Lucijo sta na paši vedno molila rožni venec. Po prikazovanjih se je kot prvi od treh fatimskih otrok umrl 4. aprila 1919, niti dve leti po prikazovanjih. Od vseh treh otrok je bila menda najbolj ljubka Jacinta. Oče Ti Marto, ki je bil dober in pravičen in je enako ljubil vse svoje otroke, jo je kljub temu imel še posebno rad. Tudi Mati Božja je na Jacinto gledala s posebno milostjo, kajti po prikazovanjih je bila obdana z darom prerokovanja in z mnogimi u-slišanji, kadar je posebno goreče molila in prosila fatimsko Gospo. Jacinta je zbolela skoraj ob istem času kot Franček. Imela je hudo pljučnico. Med tem, ko je med boleznijo hudo trpela, je še vedno molila in skušala pomagati drugim. Lucijina teta Victoria je imela sina, ki je zašel na kriva pota in so ga zaradi kraje zaprli. Teta je prišla k težko bolni Jacinti, naj prosi Našo Gospo Fatimsko, da se sin spreobrne in se vrne zdrav i Joseph L.

Nedolgo potem se je res povečala. Franček je bil tih in miren, toda ne boječ, kot bi človek pričakoval od otroka s takimi lastnostmi. Oče Ti Marto je pripovedoval, kako je Franček rad lovil zajčke in lisice, pa tudi na kače se je spravil. Imel je neverjetno razumevanje, kako malo vredne so dobrote tega sveta. Bil je zelo malodušne narave in se ni boril niti za svoje pravice. Po prikazovanjih so tujci otroke vedno nadlegovali z vprašanji. Francka so radi spraševali, kaj hoče postati, ko bo dorastel. Nekega dne sta ga dve gospe še prav posebno nadlegovali: “Ali postati mizar?” — “Ne, gospa,” je odgovoril. “Že vem, rad bi postal duhovnik!” — “Ne gospa, nočem biti duhovnik.” Pred glavnim oltarjem na levi strani stoji na vzvišenem prostoru kip fatimske Matere Božje. Ta je snežnobel in je bil narejen po opisu fatimskih otrok.

Med razsajanjem influence pa Portugalskem je zanjo zbolel in vrnil z nenavadno zgodbo o rešitvi. Zbežal je v gore in se tam skril v gozdu. Nenadoma se je začelo bliskati in strašen vihar je zadivjal nad krajem, kjer se je skrival. Prestrašen je padel na kolena in v dežju med bliskom in gromom začel prositi Boga za odpuščanje in varno povrnitev domov. Iz teme mu je naenkrat prišla nasproti mala deklica, da ga odpelje v dolino do ceste ter mu nato pokaže pot, po kateri mora naprej. Naredil je točno, kot mu je deklica naročila, in v zgodnjih jutranjih u-fah drugega dne je že prišel v kraje blizu Fatime. V mali deklici, ki ga je ponoči vodila, je namreč prepoznal Jacinto. Ob istem času je Jacinta ležala težko bolna na postelji. Od fatimske Gospe je njena goreča molitev sprosila čudežno rešitev. Jacinta je med boleznijo mnogo pretrpela, kar je pa vse darovala za spreobrnjenje grešnikov. Dan in uro svoje smrti je točno napovedala. Po težkih operacijah in neznosnih bolečinah je u-mrla v bolnici v Lizboni, daleč od svojih dragih med samimi tujci 20. februarja 1920. Pokopali so jo v Ouremu, nedaleč od Fatime. Ob odprtem grobu je njen oče Ti Marto venomer vzdihoval: “In tam daleč si u-mrla! Sama! Cisto sama!” Pred smrtjo je sestri prednici v bolnici povedala mnogo Marijinih naročil in prikazovanj. Med drugim je povedala naslednje: “Naša Gospa le s težavo zadržuje roko svojega ljubega Sina nad svetom. Delati moramo pokoro, če se bodo ljudje spreobrnili, bo Naš Gospod rešil svet. Če pa ne, ga bo kaznoval.” (Dalje sledi) Tone Arko Ruski polet na Luno moral biti odložen WASHINGTON, D.C. — Poučeni krogi trdijo, da so imeli Rusi namen poslati proti Luni 8. decembra letos svojo vesoljsko vozilo Zond s kozmonavti. Vse je bilo pripravljeno in na raznih krajih svetovnih morij so bile razmeščene ruske ladje, da bi poletu sledile in bile na razpolago za povratek kozmonavtov. Nastopiti so morale nepričakovane težave z vesoljskim vozilom, polet je bil odpovedan in ruske ladje so odplule s svojih “postaj” na oceanih.

DECEMBRA 1968 SILVESTROVANJE V BARAGOVEM DOMU DOBRA VEČERJA - GODBA - PLES Večerja od sedmih dalje, plesna godba od devetih. Vse vljudno vabi odbor Baragovega Doma, 6304 St. Clair Ave, Jerzy Zulawski: NA SREBRNI OBLI ROMAN Hotel sem se prepričati, da se ne motim, zato sem se podal ob bregu jezera k nasproti ležeči strani, kamor je po vsem videzu sodeč tekla voda. Hodil sem ob bregu in morda prvikrat z vso jasnostjo začutil, kako draga mi je ta ženska in kako grozen udarec bi bila zame njena smrt... V srcu mi je še tlela iskrica nade, da je živa, zato sem tekel ob jezeru, kakor da njena rešitev zavisi od tega, ali dospem pravočasno do odtoka vode ali ne. Bil sem prehudo vzviharjen, da bi bil mogel trezno preudariti svoja dejanja. Nejasno sem se zavedal, da moje življenje brez te nemoje ženske in brez tega nemo j ega otroka nima nobene vrednosti več. Vse bi ji bil žrtvoval, tudi svoje hrepenenje po njej, samo da bi jo mogel rešiti! ... Kdo ve, ali ne posluša usoda tu in tam skritih človeških obljub.. . Dvanajst ur sem že taval ob vodi, ko me je na mojem pohodu zadržala reka, ki se je po nalivu razlila v sotesko, katere'dotlej še nismo bili opazili, pa je bila izhod iz naše kotline proti neznanim pokrajinam. Lačen, upehan sem se zgrudil na breg, ne da bi vedel kam in kod. Kako brezglavo je bilo moje tavanje, se je izkazalo šele sedaj. Do kraja obupan sem se zleknil po še mokrem mahu in strmel v nebo, ki je bilo ravno tako mirno, bledo kakor pred peklenskim sončnim mrkom. Takrat se mi je zazdelo, da me nekdo kliče po imenu. Planil sem pokonci in napel ušesa. Glas me je poklical znova. Onkraj soteske, ki je po njej bučala voda, sem zagledal Marto. Ž eno roko je držala otroka, z drugo mi je dajala znamenja. Obšla me je tako nora radost, da sem planil v reko, jo prebredel in se znašel pred Marto na onem bregu. Glas mi je zadrgnilo v grlu, zato sem brez besed začel poljubovati njene roke. Ni mi branila, tudi ona jo bila na moč razburjena. “Prijatelj, moj dragi, dobri prijatelj,” je šepetala z bledimi, nasmejanimi ustnicami. Potem mi je jela pripovedovati, kako se ji je ob povodnji, ki je vdrla v šotor, posrečilo z otrokom in najbolj dragocenimi rečmi rešiti se v naš voz, ki je stal v bližini. Nepredušni voz, ki smo mu pobrali vse nepotrebne, težke dele, je bil tolikanj lahak, da se je obdržal na vodi, ki je čezdalje huje naraščala. Med grmenjem in bliskanjem je plaval po \mdi kakor Noetova barka, ki ji je bil tembolj podoben, CHICAGO, ILL CHICAGO. ILL. FEMALE HELP HOUSEHOLD HELP HOUSEKEEPER — Perm. Live in.

Ker ni mogla krmariti svoje zasilne barke, je bila predana samovolji valov in viharjev, ki so premetavali njen voz kakor lupino. Strahu, ki jo je navdal ob katastrofi, se je pridružila še skrb za najino usodo in popolna negotovost, kako se stvar izteče. Po nalivu, ko je voda nehala naraščati, je Marta opazila, da je bila voz pograbila posebna struja in da ga nese s seboj. Nevarnost je bila, da ga strmoglavi v kako brezno ali pa odloži v neznanem, oddaljenem kraju, kjer bi ga ne bilo moči najti. Oddahnila se je šele, ko so se po nekaj urah pokazali iz upadajoče vode posamezni holmiči. Poskušala je zakrmariti s svojo barko na kako pobočje, pa ji ni uspelo. Že je slišala vodo, ki je bobnela skoz sotesko, kjer sem jo našel, že je mislila, da jo odnese skoznjo kdo ve kam daleč, ko je voz na srečo zadel ob kleč, ki je molela iz vode nad prepadom. Izkoristila je trenutek, vrgla skozi odprto okno konopec okoli te kleči in voz je obstal. Ko sem jo našel, je bila nevarnost že mimo, kajti voda je bila že odtekla in njena barka je obtičala na kopnem. Čez nekaj ur so ležale po kotlini samo še majhne kaluže. Podobne so bile srebrnim zrcalom sredi zelenih okvirjev. Petra sta pripeljala k nama psa, ki sta me našla po sledi. Pomembno naju je ošinil s pogledom in začel brez besed pregledovati v vozu rešene zaloge in orodja. Čuden človek ta Pe-jter! Tu živim z njim že enajst 'let, pa mi je še vedno zagonetka njegova nrav, ki je svojevrstna mešanica poguma, požrtvovalnosti, odločnosti in strasti, zraven tega pa samoljubja, zavisti, potuhnjenosti in godrnjaštva.

Povodenj nam je pobrala mnogo potrebnih, nenadomestljivih predmetov; nekaj smo jih našli, ko smo mukona pretaknili vso okolico. Šotora, ki ga je voda odnesla, pa nismo več našli. Vsa sreča, da je bila spričo bližnjega odhoda večina naših reči že v vozu. Povodenj pa nam je vendarle storila pomembno uslugo: odtekajoča voda nam je pokazala smer, kamor nam je kreniti. Naš sklep je bil na moč preprost: če je voda tako naglo odtekla, nas soteska brez dvoma privede do niže ležečih pokrajin, kjer bodo najbrže večja zbi- Lisle, Illinois (250) BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY LIQUOR STORE & BAR — Excel, loc. fully equipped.

Voz nas je čakal ob izhodu soteske, ki se je odpirala pred nami kakor vrata v novi svet. Treba je bilo le še pognati električni motor s pomočjo akumulatorjev, ki smo jih bili napolnili ob našem “večnem ognju”. Dobršen del poti smo si bili že ogledali, ko smo se peš spustili v sotesko.

V Ameriko je prišla leta 1914 k soprogu Avgustu, kateri ji je umrl leta 1951. Zelo je trpela v svoji težki bolezni, pa jo potrpežljivo prenašala do zadnje ure. Našo globoko zahvalo izrekamo vsem čč. gg. duhovnikom za opravljene pogrebne obrede, vsem ki so darovali za svete maše, vsem ki so poklonili vence cvetja, vsem ki so pokojno pokropili in se udeležili njenega pogreba. Prisrčno se zahvaljujemo članicam društev, katerim je pokojnica pripadala, članicam Društva sv. Marije Magdalene št. 162 K.S.K.J. za molitve v pogrebnem zavodu in za udeležbo pri pogrebu, članicam društva sv.

Nad neznano poloblo Lune je še ležala noč, a vedeli smo, da jo bo kmalu obsijalo Sonce. Poslednjič smo se ozrli po deželici ob tečaju in reči moram, da ne brez grenkega občutka žalosti in nemira. Poznali smo jo in vedeli, kaj nam lahko nudi, dočim je bilo vse, kar nas je čakalo, skrivnost in. domneva. Lahko da se bomo spet izpostavljali pripeki neskončnih dni in mrazu neskončnih noči, lahko da bomo skoz soteske, puščave, čez gore blodili h kraju, ki nas sprejme kdo ve kako. Nadvse nas je skrbelo pomanjkanje kurjave. Kaj bo, smo ugibali, če se naši akumulatorji izpraznijo, preden najdemo primerno gorivo, zakurimo ogenj, poženemo motor in jih napolnimo znova.

Division Play Will Save Indians About §110,090 American League expansion and the subsequent formation of two divisions will save the Indians an estimated $110,000 in travel expenses next summer. Their total mileage in 1969 will be just 21,000, lowest in years and least in, the league because they’re centrally situated in tire A. L.’s Eastern Division. Last summer, the Tribe traveled approximately 27,000 miles. Based on an estimated $3.50 per mile, the cost to transport the team and its equipment amounted to approximately $845,000. It’ll be reduced to about $735,000 in 1969. The big reason, of course, is the Indians will make only two trips, instead of three, to the West Coast next summer. Divisional play won’t prove to be a great saving for all the clubs in the A.L., however., Seattle, for example, figures to log some 44,000 miles in 1969.

And over each door would hang red lobsters, crabs and scarlet tangerines, standing for long life and happiness. Gypsies in Spain used to marry on New Year’s Eve. The 18th century writer George Borrow tells us that a main feature of the bridal ceremony was the the Gypsy couple took their vows, guests swirled down sherry and ate and sang and danced throughout the night and day. Not to be outdone, Italians just consider January 1st as part of their Yuletide festival, and so revel ’til Twelfth Night, 12 days after Christmas. In France, New Year’s Day is so singular that adults let Christmas pass by and exchange presents on January 1st. The ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians and Persians began their year at the autumnal equinox (Sept. 21) and the Greeks until the fifth century B.C. at the winter solstice (Dec. 21). The ancient Romans once celebrated the beginning of the year on Dec. 21st, but Caesar by the adoption of the Julian calendar postponed it to January 1st. Though wining, dining and merry-making have been traditional ways to celebrate New Year’s, each country has its own technique. In Switzerland, not only people get all fired up, but also cannon: the peaceful Swiss shoot off all their cannon at midnight. Shaking and breaking is a popular technique in Italy, where New Year’s is welcomed not only with dancing, but also | all fires are put out and the by throwing old china into the ashes scattered. New fire is made fireplace! America’s colorful technique of painting the town red is matched ahead of time by women who shampoo color into their hair with a product called, appropriately enough, Technique. But coloring hair for New Year’s isn’t new. In the 1800s, while Napoleon was polishing his waltzing technique with Josephine, Frenchwomen sometimes spent an entire day dyeing their tresses for elegant parties. On the other side of the ocean, however, rites marking the beginning of the new year were also practiced by many North American Indian groups, but the time for such ceremonies varied. For the Seneca, an Iroquois group of the Eastern Woodland, the New Year begins in February; for the Eskimo, in the fall; for the Northwest California tribes, late in July; for the Hopi, in November; and for other Pueblo Indians, at the winter solstice. New Year’s observances a-mong the Indians varied from area to area. The Seneca rites, for instance, last a total of seven to eight days. On the first day and a white dog is strangled and hung up. During the next days people in marquerade rush from house to house, boys steal food, people ask for interpretations of their dreams, and women sprin-kle water on passersby. On other days sins are publicly confessed, and the white dog is carried on a slab of bark to an altar and burned. There are speeches, songs, prayers and offerings of tobacco. These New Year’s observances may seem strange. To denizens of other countries, however, current American customs may also seem peculiar. To quote one source on New Year’s customs: “Many Occidental countries mark the passing of the old year and the arrival of the new by elaborate balls, drinking and generally immoderate behavior in which, at midnight, everybody blows horns, rings bells, shouts, throws confetti, sings ‘Should old acquaintance be forgot,’ drinks additional toasts which are usually not needed, and, as an important part of the ritual, tries to kiss all the prettiest girls in the party, who offer enthusiastic eolaboraticn.” iya¥@bifi Home kni Ffswer $km home and garden exposition.

This question was asked to more than 750,000 readers of the Ohio AFL-CIO’s monthly FOCUS magazine in its 10th and final issue for 1968. Contrary to the popular image of lazy chiselers, FOCUS presented documented proof that the average Ohio v/elfare recipient is “a helpless child. A child who may be condemned to a life of poverty because too many of us think in stereotypes when we think of welfare.” A recent study in Toledo showed only one out of seven persons on the welfare roles in Lucas County were AFL-CIO congratulated President- and (2) Persons accredited to cer-elect Richard Nixon on his narrow . tain international organizations, victory and pledged labor’s coop-1 Forms with which to make the eration to continue the prosperity report can be obtained from any Ohio and America has enjoyed dur- Post Office or Immigration and Na-ing the past eight years under De- turalization Service Office during the month of January.

FOCUS cited several news stories which said the corporations had already pledged one-half million dollars for the campaign, and were ready with another half million. The magazine urged Presidentelect Nixon to give the business schemes a second look. Labor said, “We hope Mr. Nixon realizes that ‘getting’ the working people and their Unions,is not one way to unite America.” DEATH HODGES Champa, Rudolph — Husband of Molly (nee Miklich), father of Marlene De Pledge, Gerold, Bonnie Sue, brother of Mary Wilson.

For example, under the new Gun Law, businesses such as food and general merchandise stores, gas stations and hardware stores who stock ammunition as a convenience to sportsmen and hunters must nov/ be licensed. Mr. Turbett said ammunition dealers may not make sales on or after December 16 without a valid license. However, dealers may continue to sell provided an application has beer, made for such a license. Besides the license requirement, the new Gun Law also establishes controls on the sales of firearms and ammunition. No one under the age of 18 may be sold firearms or ammuniUon of any type and a person has to be 21 to buy pistols, revolvers or ammunition. Records of firearm and ammunition sales must be kept by businessmen to assure that the new controls are followed. Details on the new law and its requirements are available at local offices of the IRS Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division.
