INSIDE: Elna Convention Photos Local Club News News from Abroad Book News BONAN VOJAĜON MINGCHI It is incredible that, in the space of 20 months, one per- son could have so many friends. Mingchi Chien was invited here as a Visiting Scholar by the School of Humanities at San Francisco State University. Her mentor there was Dr. James Kohn who also directs the SFSU Esperanto program each summer. Ms Chien came to SFSU to do advanced English and Esperanto studies which she teaches at East China Normal University in Shanghai. A lavish farewell party at the home of Mrs. Harold Saville brought together members of the Chinese Consulate, her pro- fessors and classmates, as well as friends from the San Fran- cisco Esperanto-speaking community. There was scarcely a dry eye in the large group which saw her off at the airport August 8. SFERO will miss her. ELNA HONORAS ROAN ORLOFF STONE Eleanor Stein legas rezolucion proponante kiel Honoran Membron de ELNA, Roan Orloff Stone. Prez. Thomas Goldman gratulas S-inon Stone, (photo: Vallon-Wheeler) En la kadro de 1983 jarkongreso de ELNA en San Fran- cisco, Prezidanto Thomas Goldman, reprezentante la estraron de ELNA, nomis Roan Orloff Stone dumviva Honora Mem- bro de ELNA. Tiun honoron meritas la eksterordinara virino el Nov-Meksiko pro siaj multaj diversaj kontribuoj. En 1935, post sia membreco en la Bahaa Religio, ŝi par- toprenis Esperanto-klason de Armin Doneis. Poste, en 1939, ŝi gajnis la Instruistan Rajtigilon de EANA. Dum jaroj ŝi in- struis lernantojn en la korespond-kursoj. Lidia Zamenhof, filino de la kreinto de Esperanto, konatiĝis kun S-ino Stone en 1938 kiam ili partoprenis la Bahaan Somerlernejon en Green Acres, Maine. En 1942 Orloff-Stone finis 3-jaran Esperanto-tradukon de dika Bahaa historio "Dawn Breakers" (Herooj de la Nova Tagiĝo). En la University Extension-sistemo en Boston, MA, Roan instruis klasojn kaj fondis Esperanto-Rondon. Depost 1936 preskaŭ neniu EANA aŭ ELNA Konferenco okazis sen la ĉeesto de tiu ĉi aktiva membro. Kiel membro de Baha'i World Language Committee, S-ino Stone helpis kompili verkaĵojn el la Libroj de Baha'u'llah, Abdu'1-Baha, kaj Shoghi Effendi, relate al mondlingvoj kaj al Esperanto. Stone tradukis Esperanten LA PROFETOn de Kahlil Gibran. Post du eldonoj de Stafeto, la libro delonge elĉerpiĝis. Intertempe, ŝi vojaĝis kaj prelegis en kolegioj, kluboj, kaj asocioj. Per radio kaj televido ŝi informadis la publikon pri Esperanto. Kompreneble dum sia vivo Orloff-Stone kolektis multegajn mondkorespondantojn. En 1973 kun la helpo de Paul Armurim Cardoro en Brazilo, ŝi fondis Bahaa-Esperanto-Ligon kaj estas ĝia nuna sekretariino. En Universalaj Esperanto-Kongresoj, ŝi ankaŭ aktiviĝis kun la celo antaŭenigi la agadojn de la Bahaa Esperanto-Ligo, kaj kiel UEA delegito de Gallup, Nov-Meksiko. Nuntempe Orloff-Stone instruas du klasojn en Gallup, unu por junaj infanoj. Al la apudaj Indianaj triboj ŝi informas pri la Bahaa Religio kaj Esperanto. En 1972 la registaro sendis grupon de Navajo-studentoj al San Francisco State University por prezenti programon pri Navajo-Kulturo (kolorplenaj dancoj kaj kantoj) ĉe la oficiala postkongreso de Esperanto. La prelego pri indiĝena kulturo, farita en Esperanto de S-ino Stone, forte impresis Postkongresanojn el 5 kontinentoj. Al Roan Orloff Stone ni ŝuldas multe pro ŝia sindona kon- tribuo al nia movado. La supro estas nur skizo de la even- toplena kariero de virino kiu konstante inspiras nin. Speciala Anonco Ellie Stein, Komitatestrino por Virinaj Aferoj invitas vin verki historieton pri virino en via loko kiu, laŭ via opinio, aŭ laŭ decido de via Esperanta Klubo, aŭ pere de populara opinio elstaras kiel pioniro, heroino, organizemulo.

NEKROLOGOJ "S'AWFUL" A few weeks before her death Martha Walker wrote Cathy Schulze: "I'm missing every- thing. 'S'awful!" In the middle of everything important, Martha was garden columnist for the Napa Register for the past 35 years; she taught gardening at Napa College; she taught .. i_ ,., 11 Esperanto to gifted students Martha Walker and adults; her 80-acre hillside (photo, Napa Register) ranch served as a she for her many gardening experiments. As UEA delegate for Napa, she performed special services for foreign Esperantists as when she did a report on the kiwi fruit for an Esperantist-orchardist in Argentina. A life member of ELNA, she participated for 13 years in the ad- vanced Esperanto studies at San Francisco State University and supported the scholarship fund so that bright young students could study advanced Esperanto with some of the world's foremost experts on the international language. The Napa Register received an outpouring of letters about Martha from people who knew her in many special ways, all with fond memories and a great sense of the loss we all feel. A Martha Walker Museum Dedication was made by Trustees of Napa Valley Naturalists, sponsors of the Carolyn Parr Nature Museum where an exhibit in memory of docent Martha Walker was unveiled July 30. The ELNA Convention adopted a resolution naming the 1984 student scholarships for advanced Esperanto studies, The Martha Walker SFSU Scholarship Fund. Condolences to the family may be sent to her daughter: Mrs. Raymond A. Baptista (Marianne), 3682 Seven Hills Road, Castro Valley, CA 94546. Contributions to the Martha Walker Scholarship Fund should be so identified and made payable to ELNA. Pierce S. Elsasser (NY) died November 1982.

Always an enthusiastic supporter of ELNA activities, he will be miss- ed by his many friends. Send condolences to his wife, Jane Schisler, 357 Sunnyside Dr., Colfax, CA 75713. William P. Simpson. Word has just come to ELNA of the death of Bill Simpson who taught Esperanto at Elizabethtown College and at various high schools in the Harrisburg, Pa. area. He served as Education Chairman of the American Association of Teachers of Esperanto. LOCAL CLUBS UTA ESPERANTO-KLUBO, Salt Lake City. WELCOME to our newest club! Charles M. Hall, President, gathered up some practical ideas and inspiration at the San Francisco State University Esperanto courses last July. In the first club bulletin August 17, Hall reports establishment of regular monthly meetings, conversational groups; and classes are in- cluded in Fall catalogues of Salt Lake and Jordan District schools. The club has a library of Esperanto books and periodicals. We hope soon to see Utah names in the ELNA ADRESARO and delegates for Provo and Salt Lake City in the UEA Jarlibro to facilitate contacts between Utah Esperanto- speakers, ELNA members and foreign Esperantists. We no doubt will meet a good delegation at the Intermountain Esperanto Conference in Gallup, NM, 7-9 October. SEE list of Local Clubs, page 11, for address of UEK. OREGON Portland. Liberty Cable TV is providing TV workshops in which ESPO members Virginia Stewart, Erik Larsen, James Deer and John Bradner have enrolled.

Energy and talent characterize the San Diego club's varied program of classes, study groups, "Nekrokodilaj Vesperoj", Espermanĝoj and more. NEKROKODILA SEMAJNFINO, 9-11 Sept ĉe la Helmuth he- jmo en Julian, estos gvidita de D-ro David Jordan kun la temo: "Bonfartu Malkrokodileco". Nur Esperanto parolota dum la tuta semajnfino. World Federalists (San Diego Chapter) were treated to such a lively talk on Esperanto by David Jordan, Univ. of California-SD, Dept of Anthropology, that a few chapter members began studying the international language. Ellie Stein has arranged programs involving David Jordan and other club members with Esperanto songs by Janice Bundy and Lee Rittenhouse, experts at encouraging the au- dience to sing along in Esperanto. So far the club has presented this popular program before the Humanist Society, the Singletarians, in addition to the World Federalists. UNA-San Diego. San Diego Esperanto Club is a member of the San Diego County UN Council of Organizations, par- ticipating with other civic groups in forums on global affairs — Human Rights, Law of the Sea, World Hunger, and more. NEWS FROM ABROAD from June, July-August review ESPERANTO IVORY COAST — reports that, in addition to study groups and a correspondence course, 30 students at the University of Abidjan enrolled in a basic Esperanto course. NIGERIA — UEA is assisting Helga Farukuoye with literature and learning aids. She teaches classes and cor- respondence courses, lectures, develops learning aids, and has set up an Esperanto library. CHINA — Bakin, Vice President of the Chinese Esperanto League, has been named by UEA to the Honorary Commit- tee. On his recent visit to China, the French President, Mit- terrand, presented Bakin with the Order of the Legion of Honor. DENMARK — John Wells, lecturer in phonetics at London University and member of the Academy of Esperanto, lec- tured on The Linguistic Aspects of Esperanto at Copenhagen University. AZORES — A lengthy article about Esperanto in the newspaper, Acoriano Oriental, has attracted 25 students to a course of basic Esperanto — a record number on this small group of Portuguese islands. BRITAIN — A 45-min program about Esperanto on BBC radio brought almost 2,000 information requests to the British Esperanto Association's office. FRANCE — The Union of French Esperantists is schedul- ing annual Esperanto Festivals beginning in November in Paris. The Festivals are part of the worldwide observances looking toward 1987 — the One Hundredth Anniversary of the international language. WEST GERMANY - Almost 40 articles in the national press, as well as approximately 100 articles in local news- papers throughout Germany, are creating considerable in- terest in Esperanto. This augurs well for the World Esperanto Convention to be held in Augsburg in 1985. IRAN — In 1975 no Esperanto learning aid was to be found in Iran. The following year LA DUA LINGVO, an Esperan- to/Persian textbook by Dr. M. H. Saheb-Zamani was pub- lished. That 219-page textbook has since gone through six editions for a total of 40,500 copies — a record for such a small country. In the July-August review ESPERANTO, Dr. Saheb-Zamani stated: "Esperanto for Iran — as no doubt for many other countries of the Third World — has grave significance." He closed with reiteration of Iran's urgent demand for scientific and technical textbooks in Esperanto to meet the needs of Iranian — and other Third World — students. SWEDEN — Ingemund Bengtsson, President of the Swedish Parliament who, as Honorary Chairman, greeted the World Esperanto Convention in Stockholm in 1980, has since learn- ed Esperanto. Recently he received Dr. Flora Szabo Felso, General Secretary of UEA. Their conversation was in Esperanto which he is polishing in preparation for his visit to China in September. ESPERANTO IN THE MEDIA West County Times, serving Western Contra Costa County, CA, 14 July, carried an interview by staffer Alvaro Delgado with ELNA Central Office Director, Gregory Wasson. In answer to a question about English, Wasson was quoted: ". . . English will get you to the sights and monuments overseas. But you'll stand at the door of foreign cultures without tapping into personal relationships." The Boston Phoenix, July 5, featured a lengthy article about the New England Esperanto Society, "It's a Small World After All — Giving Esperanto a Listen". This is an exceptionally well-written article by Andy Gaus. To those who question Esperanto's suitability as an international language on the grounds that it is a 'Western' language, Gaus says: "Surprisingly, the very fact that Esperanto is a stream- lined microcosm of the Western languages makes it at- tractive to many Asian students of Western languages, and use of Esperanto is increasing in China, Japan, and Korea, and also in Africa. In China, the government has declared Esperanto to be a permissible elective in all Chinese high schools, because it has been found that Chinese students can learn Esperanto with a low rate of failure and proceed, thus encouraged, to other Western languages, finding both their grammars and their vocabularies a great deal less inscrutable." The Square Text, an attractive little bulletin printed by Phillip Driscoll of Clinton, Mich., on June 26 carried a fine article about the current status and practicality of Esperanto. Kingsport, TN — The local newspaper recently carried a let- ter from Kent Huff which has brought a number of inquiries to the ELNA office. Huffs letter offered the FREE 10-LESSON POSTAL COURSE and is based on a model let- ter suggeted by Ralph Murphy, available from: Cathy Schulze, 410 Darrell Rd., Hillsborough, CA 94010. Czechoslovak Life (April 83) carried a lengthy article entitl- ed "Esperanto in Czechoslovakia" with many photos. It traces Esperanto there from the first Czech Esperanto textbook in 1890 to the present. There are two official Esperanto organizations in Czechoslovakia with some 9000 registered members between them. There are many more thousands there who speak Esperanto but are not in any official organization. The Czech Esperanto Union boasts a library of some 6,000 titles. RADIO DXING THE BAMBOO CURTAIN, an article by Gerry L. Dexter, in the June 1983 issue of Popular Communications, traces the history of radio broadcasting in China up to the present. It now has over 60 transmitters in Beijing alone. The broadcasts occupy over 400 frequencies and use a few doz- en languages. They send 3 half-hour Esperanto broadcasts every day. DIA REGNO (April 1983), the organ of KELI (Kristana Esperanto-Ligo Internacia) reports on the powerful Radio Station JCJB, Box 691, Quito, Ecuador. Serving as a voice of Protestantism, using several languages, HCJB broadcasts in Esperanto the first Tuesday of each month at 6:40 — 7:00 a.m., middle European time. Duncan Charters reports from Illinois that he recently caught a Spanish-language broad- cast about Esperanto from Quito. SIMPOZIO PRI KOMPUTILOJ by James Deer Temo de la ĉijara kongreso de ELNA en San Francisco estis ESPERANTO EN LA KOMPUTILA EPOKO. Mi priskribos du ĉefpunktojn el la programo. Unu estis referaĵo verkita de Duncan Charters; la dua estis mia raporto pri la laboro de la Portland-a teamo de SIGKOMP ELNA, DUNCAN CHARTERS Duncan estas Asocia Profesoro pri Fremdaj Lingvoj ĉe Principia Kolegio, Elsah, Illinois. Kvankam li ne korpe par- toprenis la kongreson, spirite li estis tie. Unue, la membroj de AATE, Usona Asocio de Instruistoj de Esperanto, elektis lin prezidanto. Due, li sendis al la kongreso kelkajn kopiojn de 24-paĝa profesia verko kiun li jus preparis specife por la kongreso. La titolo estas, "La Mikro-komputilo en Lingva Ler- nado" kun subtitolo "Kie Ni Nun Situas". Laŭ Charters, la funkcioj kiuj estas hodiaŭ farataj pere de mikrokomputiloj estas: 1) Ekzamenoj, antaŭ, dum, kaj post la kurso 2) Ekzercado 3) Stimuloj kaj ludoj 4) Kultura lernado (diskutoj pri mapoj, flagoj, historiaj eventoj) 5) Lega kaj traduka studado 6) Interago per dialogoj. Li diris ke li nun okupiĝas pri verko de subtena programo por rekta-metoda kurso en la hispana lingva Por helpi lin verki tiun programon, li utiligas specialan help-programon kiu helpas la verkiston krei bonan kursvaron. La maŝino kiun li nun uzas estas Hewlett Parckard 3000, kiu ne estas mikro- komputilo, sed la tiel nomata mini-komputilo. Laŭ li, produkti komputilan kodon kiu ekzercos la studen- ton unu horon, postulas 50 ĝis 200 horojn da laboro fare de la programa verkisto. Li prezentis listen de dudek kvin firmaoj kiuj vendas kursvaron por lingva studo. Kvankam li pasante menciis ke unu ofertas programon pri Esperanto, li ne laŭdis ĝin, el kiu oni povas konkludi ke kvalite ĝi ne estas laŭdinda. Por havi vere laŭdindan kurspakon, kiun ELNA povos ven- di kun fiero, necesas ke ELNA mem, kun la helpo de AATE, direkti la kreon de tiu kurso. Guste tion ni faras pere de sigkomp. En la simpozio, mi raportis kion nun faras la Portland-a teamo, kiu konsistas el Alan Stewart, Linda Stewart, kaj Virginia Stewart. Hi uzas la maŝinon APPLE II, kaj preparas kurson kiun ili ne esperas havi preta por publika anonco okaze de la ELNA kongreso en Portland, 14-19 Julio, 1984. La Kurspako konsistu el kvar elementoj: 1) La lernolibro 2) Prononca sona kasedo 3) Diskoj por perkomputila ekzercado 4) Persona kaj organiza subteno por enkonduki la lernan- ton al la monda kulturo de Esperanto. Ĉe la kongreso, Kenneth Hunter provizis APPLE II- komputilon, per kiu mi montris la ĝisnunan staton de niaj perkomputilaj ekzercoj. Oni demandis kiel ni pritraktas la supersignojn, la cirkumflekson kaj la brevon. Mi klarigis ke ĉe APPLE, eblas krei leterojn kun supersigno, kiuj aperos sur la ekrano. Tamen la supersignitaj literoj sur la ekrano ne estis perfektaj. Ni ankoraŭ serĉas solvon. Alia problemo estas la lernolibro uzota kiel kurso-bazo. Tion ni ankoraŭ esploras. Gus nun ni provizore uzis The Esperanto Teacher de Stuttard. KONKLUDO: Pri la kapablo de perkomputilaj ekzercoj kap- ti la atenton de la lernanto, ne estas dubo. Tion ni konkludas rezulte de la demonstroj en San Francisco kaj ankaŭ en Portland. Danke al la prezentajo de Duncan Charters, ni nun komprenas ke dialogoj, konversacioj, estas ankaŭ formoj kiuj bone funkcias per la komputilo. Jim Deer (Portland) instructs Ellen Eddy (Richland, WA) in the computerized Esperanto lessons on APPLE II. Deer gets undivided attention as he demonstrates computer- assisted Esperanto instruction.
