2-0- NASE NOVINE, December 15, 1982.
November 29 is Yugoslavia's
national holiday, the birthday of
the Republic which made history in
1943.
Yugoslavs will continue to celeb-rate
this holiday no matter where
they reside and even though they
celebrate holidays of their new
countries, they cannot forget this
one holiday of their heritage.
And so, in San Pedro a commi-ttee
of the "younger generation"
got together to organize the celeb-ration.
It was time for the elderly to
sit back and relax and see how well
they guided the younger genera-tion
and to watch the fruits of their
labor by what the younger genera-tion
were going to produce.
The committee comprised of
Petar Kuzmanic, Sime AniCic, Sini-§- a
Vuk5lc Marko Pejovid, Omer
Gili6, George Sinishtay, Mario
Bijelic, Kadrija Hakaj, Gojko Spra-Ij- a
and Margaret Starfcevic. The
committee felt it was only proper
to have such a celebration in the
Yugoslav American Hall. This holi-day
has always been celebrated
elsewhere in San Pedro. So, for the
first time in 39 years, the holiday
celebration took place in the
Yugoslav Hall in San Pedro on
Sunday, November 28, 1982. What
a grand night it was!
As the guests entered the ball-room,
they noticed the tables
decorated with miniature Yugoslav
flags. On the background of the
stage curtain, so brightly outstan-ding,
was "2IVIO 29 NOVEMBAR"
so artistically designed by Sime
Ani6i6 with assistance from Mario
Bijelic The lettering was in blue,
white and red and each letter
contained six stars, glistening
under the lights, representing the
six republics of Yugoslavia with
the Yugoslav coat of arms in the
center of a red field.
Sinisa Vuksic introduced the
special guests who were Mr. DuSan
Paunovid, Consul of the SFR of
Yugoslavia, and Vice Consul, Mr.
Ivica Gaspic, both of the San
Francisco Consulate office.
A delightful dinner of roast beef,
checken and all the trimmings was
prepared by Ivo Lukic. A fine
Yugoslav wine was donated by the

m
1
Consulate General of the SFR of
Yugoslavia San Francisco to
accompany the meal. Dinner music
by "Ona i Oni", a musical group
gaining much popularity in Califor-nia,
was immensely enjoyed.
In the crowd, it was pleasant as
always, to see our fellow suppor-ters
from Los Angeles, Marko
Kramanch with his daughter Vio-let,
Ljubo Vukmanovic, from San
Gabriel, Toni Wright of Pasadena,
Mark and Frankie Haller of Bellflo-we- r,
many friends from South
Gate, Downey, and we were happy
to see the Slovenes were represen-ted
also.
After dinner, "Ona i Oni" began
to play "Yugoslavia". At the sound
of this splendid song, everyone
began to sing in unison and the
kolo dance was started. As the
dancers completed the kolo, an
array of balloons were dropped
from a net onto them with popping
sounds like fireworks.
With more music from "Ona i
Oni" and later dancing to the
sounds of "The Meteriorites", the
evening progressed in a holiday
mood.
It was most pleasant to observe
14 year old Josko Kuzmanid dan-cing
with Mary Picard. Little did he
know Mary was a former movie star
of the early days od movies.
Dancing with a lot of exuberance
was another teenager, SiniSa Bije-lic,
who by the way could end up
being a future soccer star. Then
there was Maria Kuzmanic, celeb-rating
her 12th birthday on this
night and being "the belle of the
ball".

Many thanks are extended to all
that have given of themselves to
help make this affair successful.
Most of all, thanks go to all fine
people who attended for their
support and participation. Appre-ciated
for all her efforts is
Elena Kuzmanic. Remem-bered
also is Mate Glavan who is
like a pillar amongst the Yugoslav
people of San Pedro, who can
always be depended upon for
assistance. Appreciation is due
Karl Mladenic whc this writer heard
say: "It is time for me to take it
easy and the people take
over". This is the greatest quote
I've heard in a long time. There are
many people of Karl's era that, like
him, have labored long and well
and their efforts shall long be
remembered. Yes, Karl is right. It
is time to release the responsibility
to the younger generation and let
them fave the opportunity of brin-ging
in the freshness of their
youth, to organize functions, to
retain their heritage with pride and
also to remember well the "old
timers". With unity and harmon
amonst the young and old and
having confidence in our young
people, I think much can bi
assompliched.
Tonight the younger generation
proved they are capable and devo-ted
and the young and old had a
joyous time. What a wonderful
night to begin a new era for the
younger generation in San Pedro
on the eve of the celebration of
November 29. 2IVIO DAN REPUB-LIKE- !

younger
put. Radoji6ic гебе: "Povezati se
Sto vise sa naSim svetom u
iseljeniStvu i saznati koliko njih
interesuje trenutno stanje u Jugo-slavij- i.
Kako oni gledaju na predu-zet- e
mere stabilizacije. Koliko mis-l- e
na domovinu i svoje u domovini?
U tu svrhu snimili su tri emisije u
New Yorku, Detroitu i Chicagu i to
ce biti prikazano na jugoslavenskoj
televiziji sledece godine.
Drug Radojicic rece, da je bio
duboko dirnut saznanjem da naSi u
belom svetu i te kako brinu o
svojima u domovini i o svemu Sto
se tamo deSava. Kaze, da je
zadivljujuce sa koliko emocija zivi
taj svet daleko od Juge, koliko se
bore da budu Jugoslaveni, da budu
dicni smovi i kceri zemlje u kojoj su
rodeni. Refie i to da jedinstvo
iseljenika u Americi moze biti
primer mnogima u zemlji.Reci da si
Jugoslaven u Jugoslaviji mje naro-cit- o
tesko. Re6i da si Jugoslaven u
tudem svetu vrlo 6esto je prava
hrabrost.
Posle smmanja u Chicagu dru-go- vi
RadojicitS i Todorovic odlaze u
New York da snime spoljno politifi-k- u
emisiju "Amerika iz New
Yorka"
Upitah Radojicica kako mu se
dopadaovde i on mi гебе. "Stvarno
ima svega i ima se Sta videti, ah mi

mogao ovde
da se vratim
