Commitee for Greek American studies was
established at the Theodore Saloutos conference sponsored
by the Immigration History Research Center ofthe University of Minnesota, for the purpose of promoting and coordinating scholarly studies ίη Greek Americana.

the Banquet from L to R. Prof Rudolf Vecoli, Director of the lmmigration

Comιnittee
for Greek American Studies
"The Greek American Expeήence: Α Conference of the
State of Scholarship and an Agenda for the Future," sponsored by the Immigration History Research Center of the
University of Minnesota at the Holiday Metrodome in Minneapolis, May 11-13, 1989, attracted participants from places as far away as Greece, Denmark, Canada, and Hawaii.
Over thirty scholars presented papers on all aspects of
the Greek American experience at this well attended event
dealing with imigration, ethnicity, early settlement, archival sources, labor, politics, business, professionalism, education, role of Greek women, art, literature, discrimination,
pluralism, assimilation and other issues relating to the
Greek American experience in the New World.
The conferees heard Senator Paul Sarbanes of Maryland who addressed the banquet held at St. Mary's Greek
Orthodox Church in Minneapolis on "The Immigrant·
Experience and Ethnic Studies: Expanding Educational
oportuniries." At the conclusion of the two-day conference,
a national Comrnittee for Greek American Studies was
elected to promote and coordinate further studies in the
field.
The conference, which was the first major event of its
kind since the bicentennial conference on "The Greek Amerίcan Experience" sponsored by the Modern Greek Studies
AUGUST, 1989
Association at the University of Chicago in 1976, celebrated
the opening for research of the Theodore Saloutos Collection, a iibrary of books, personal and _professional_pa_pers
donated to the Immigration History Research Center by the
late professor's widow. An activist and scholar in Greek
Americana, Saloutos amassed a vast number of resource
materials on ethnic issues, materials which led to the publication of his monumental study The Greeks in the United
States by Harvard University Press in 1964. The collection
constitutes one of the richest resources availab1e for the
study of Greek American history.
The Theodore Saloutos Collection
This event also marked the publication by IHRC of
Guide to the rheodore Saloutos Collection, compiled by
Project Archivist Louise Martin which was available for
sale. The Guidecatalogs the collection with description of its
scope and content making it a valuable tool for researchers.
The cataloguing of the Collection was made possible, in
part, by the Theodore Saloutos Memorial Fund for Greek
American Studies which was established with the help of the
United Hellenic American Congress and which raised over
$40,000 under the chairmanship of Charles Moskos. Theodore Saloutos (1910-1980), was born in Milwaukee ofimmigrant Greek parents and died in Los Angeles after teaching

ELENI
SPEAKS ΤΟ
ΜΕ
By MICHAEL KARRAS
Some time had gone by since Ι last
saw Eleni, so it was not surprising to me
that Ι did not immediately recognize her
when our paths crossed, just in front of
the museum on Patission Street. Ι
remember the date: the first of May,
1989. May Day. The moment Ι heard
my name, Ι knew that penetrating voice
belonged to no one else but Eleni.
Hers is a voice that is at once powerful and gentle. Once you have heard it,
you will not easίly forget it. Το me, it
cannotes grandeur and wisdom -- the
essence of poetry --ο η the one hande, and
intense pain and cruelty on the other.
The utmost contradiction.
That day, it simply enticed me to
approach her. With some trepidation, Ι
did. Face to face with Eleni, Ι had no
choice but to confront, too, my deep
affection and respect for her. Ι felt once
again that no matter how much time
had elapsel, how many oceans divided
us, she would always tug at my heartst~
rings. Ι prepared myself as best I could
for this reunion. The years had educated
me, fortified me with experiences and
the knowledge of how best to deal with
the good and the bad. Her charms were
no longer going to sway me. Ι would be
objective. Ι bit my lip and prayed that Ι
would be true to my convictions.
She took my hand, held it firmly, and
said, 'Ίt's difficult to talk here, on the
street; so much noise, you can't even
think, so much pollution, you can't even
breathe". She invited me to her home,
and Ι promised that Ι would visit her,
perhaps the very next day. She then

smiled, somewhat enigmatically, head
cocked gently to one side. She took a
deep breath as if to recharge herself, and
told me that my visit would please her
greatly.
We parted, and as Ι walked off Ι
recalled moments of my past and other
encounters with Eleni. How magnificent sheappeared to me, Ι thought. Tall,
Jean, elegant. Α Jady. There were times
when she had not always been so attractive. How many different faces does she
possess? One for every occasion? Wh_y is
it that she is forever changing her
appearance? Does she do it in order to
please-or deceive-others, or is she by
nature fickle? Ι was going to satisfy my
curiosity and set things straight once and for all; Ι was going to find out
exactly who Eleni is. My sidewalk
encounter with her moments before had
not been entirely accidental, Ι decided. Ι
was prepared to be totally honest with
her, and Ι hoped that she would be
honorable, at Jeast.
The next day Ι left home early, at
10:00 in the morning, and without realizing the passage of time, Ι found myself
in Eleni's house, near Exarhia Square.
She had lived there for the last few
years. Ι asked her why she chose this
neighborhood, quite unlike the Plaka
home she occupied before. Her answer
was rather vague: "Because here Ι am
needed and Ι need them, too."
Her house was large, with vaulted
ceilings and cavernous rooms. Dark,
ornate furniture of a multitude of periods past and fabrics, rugs, and tapestries of rich colors and intricate patterns
combined to create a very warm environment. The splendid works of art, of
every possible medium, were both old
and new, some even whimsical. There
were priceless gifts, she pointed out,
from foreign kings and queens, statesmen and men of letters, as well as from
her very own children. But of those
which she cherished most was a marble
bust of Pericles, which occupies a prominent place in one corner of the room
and was balanced, in the opposite
corner, by an equally commanding
statue of Athena.
Eleni excused herself suddenly, leaving me free to explore. I wandered the
halls aimlessly for a while, studying one
fine detail after another, until Ι came to
one room that took my breath away. It
was so unusually sparse; its walls, dead
white, momentarily blinded me. It took
a while for my eyes to adjust. Α podium,
of all things, stood all alone in the center

thing to say that might make her fee\
better. She was right. Ι shook my head
in understanding and asked her to
continue.
- Υ ou, a man of music, do you hear
what rny children hear? Tell me, what
does this music give to them, intellectually and emotionally? Once there was
fine music; it spoke of life and love, of
hope and cornmitment, of ideas and
goals. Now, what do we hear? Α cry of
despair and confusion.
"Υ ou're right," Ι interjected.
It is sloppy. Ν ο depth. The rnaking of
music has fallen into the wrong hands.
The artists, and be assured, Eleni, there
are rnany fine artist, want desperately to
be heard, but no one listens. The reins
are in the hands of others, people cornmitted to rnaking rnoney, not to educating the public. They bastardize the pure,
whether it be their own or someone
else's. There is a lot of confusion and,
consequently, this confusion is passed
on to the public in the form of bad
music.
Eleni nodded, then continued:
- The rnusic is only indicative of the
rarnpant bad taste in every domain.
There is no common goal for the good
of all. Look at what my children have
created: scandal everywhere, in the political arena and in the gutters. Α lovestruck elder ly demagogue, whose
passion, not intellect, guides his
decision-making asks us to believe in
him. He tells us that he has a contract
with the People. But, he didn't bother to
get the signatures of the people, did he?
He sets the example that my children
will follow. Do you blame them for not
being able ιό recognize the truth? Do
you blame them for being insensitive
and crude? They buy drugs and sell their
bodies to escape this madness. And
there is no one to help them. Νο one,
just the pushers and the pimps, the ones
who help them die faster. Ι am ashamed.
People believe that in 1992 they will all
be saved. How? As a consequence ofthe
parliamentary sessions held daily at
every sidewalk cafe? Νο, no. We need
plans, a real framework of truth pieced
together by brothers and sisters working side by side, in unison, tottally commited. Look at our gray, murky
squares--slums they've become, for the
vendors, of pistachio nuts and lottery
tickets, of heroin and pornography.
'Άh, Eleni," I interrupted again,
- They --the architects of this messrecite the recipe for democracy as if they
are all about to take part in the rnaking
"NEW YORK"
of Sunday's moussaka. That very same
moussaka that they will share only with
their friends. Νο one said, "we'Jl look
after yo u, with respect and compassion.
We really care about you." Ι, for one,
would like to hear them say 'Έleni , you
are not forgotten, you are greatly
respected. You are what keeps us
together." But η ο, you have been
treated like a stray alley cat, kicked
around for years. Ι see how you are
bleeding, Eleni, and 1 see that no one is
properly tending to your wounds.
** *
Eleni knew that Ι understood. She
wept now, for the loss of reason and
respectability, for her lost children. She
was a shadow ofthe glory that was once
Eleni. It made me physically ill to se her
in this condition. Maybe she, too, had
made mistakes, Maybe, I, too, had been
overly critical of her. lt's no longer up to
her to change things. It's up to me. And
you.
My friend, the poet Dimitri latropoulos, wrote: 'Όnce in a while you should
listen to the poets,- Messrs. Politicians,
even if you don't read what they write."
How right he is. They, the poets, know
something more than most of us do.
Two Nobel Prizes ίη Poetry have been
awarded to our contrymen. So many
other prizes, too many to mention, have
been bestowed on us. Surely that must
mean something. Surely we can't just
take those achievements for granted. Or
can we? Just how petty haνe we
become? Are we going to allow our
stupid, minor differences get in the way
of brotherhood, of solid, old-fashioned
common sense?
Dimitri Iatropoulos has expressed his
opinions openly without fear of reprisal. He knows the meaning of democrasy and reiterates it, not like others
who may feel it but keep their opinions
strictly to themselves. My friend, Dimitri, the poet who asks: "Neo-Greeks,
Gods of Greece, when are you also
going to become Gods of the GreeksT
Those future Gods, whoever they
may be, will they rule for the benefit of
the people and the country, or will they
continue the betrayal? Will they prove

Monumental Restoration
By PETER THOMPSON
EUROPE MAGAZJNE, JUNE 1989
The Parthenon, comp1eted under the
guidance of Phidias in 432 B.C., has not
had an easy 1ife. Ravaged by fire in the
late Roman period, b1own up by a
Venetian mortar in 1687 (the Turks
were using it as a gunpowder magazine),
1ooted by Lord E1gin during the Napo1eonic wars in the early 1800s, and

kolaou, received a special Europa Nostra award for his work.
Meanwhile, another young architect,
Manolis Korres, had been carrying out
a detailed investigation into all aspects
of the Parthenon . This research
included- in addition to model reconstructions of the whole Acropolis complex at different stages of
history- countless drawings and photographs, and a comprehensive of the
internal condition of each component
of the Parthenon.
Korres also painstakingly assembled
and indentified some 1,500 pieces of the
Parthenon' s architectural members,
which had been scattered about the
Acropolis rock since the 1687 explosion. These marble fragments of all sizes
now lie in rows before the prefabricated
workshops along the south side of the
temple, and most will be returned to
their original positions during the restoration. What was seen in 1985 as a Ι()..
year rescue operation got under way,

although it is likely to take much longer
in reality.
This is partly because of the new possibilities that have emerged during
research. Earlier this year, an international conference of architects and
archaeologists, civil and chemical engineers and other experts, gave cautious
blessing to the next stage of a preservation program that could involve more
rebuilding than was ever thought possible. The conference focused chiefly on
four alternative proposals presented by
Korres for the restoration of the eastern
entrance to the main temple. These
range from restoring the incomplete.
inner colonnade with limited rebuilding, to almost completely reconstructing of the colonnade and entablature
and partially rebuilding the cella wall.
This could be done using 70 percent to
80 percent of the original material.
Korres himself favors a maximum restoration, and points out that the cella
wall "would reveal the true proportions
of the interior of the temple."
Although the Greek restorers are
scrupulously adheringtothe 1864 Charter of Venice, in particular ο η the reversibility of each intervention and on the
need for new material to be easily distinguishable from the original, some reservat ions were expressed at the
conference about the maximalist
approach and about the ratio of new
material to old. All views will be conveyed in writing and studied by the
Acropolis Preservation Committee and
the Culture Ministry before a final decision is reached.
Korres insists that his ideas will
hardly alter the external appearance of
the Parthenon, and his infectious enthusiasm has won him broad support. One
delegate to this year's conference described Korres' plan as the "most correct
and scientific study of a classical monument ever undertaken."

The worlds of art, archaeology and

Institute of Chicago.
The event marked the reopening of
excavations in the ancient Agora of
Athens and the art exhibit in Chicago,
"The Human Figure in Ancient Greek
Art." It was hosted by the American
School of Classical Studies at Athens,
which is supervising the excavations,
and The Classical Art Society.
The evening's festivities were supported by the Greek National Tourist
Organization and Epirotiki Cruise
Lίnes. In attendance were representatives ofChicago' s Greek American business community, state and local
officials, and leading members of the
media from the Chicago area. Α
number of travel industry partners of
the Greek National Tourist Office also
participated.
Guests were treated to a feast prepared by gourmet chef Sotiris Kitrilakis, of Peloponese Products, based on

Research indicates that the chefs of

The Battle for Crete, the eleven day epic that changed the
cource of the war, is the object of a book by Costas Ν.
Hadjipateras and Maria S. Fafalios. An anthology of

The kidnapping of the

The kidnapping of the German General, according to the British, had been
on the orders of the General Staff in
Cairo. The two British who had come
here were: Major Life'rmos (Leigh Fermor) and Captain Moss who is now
dead. They went to the dependency of
the Monastery of Zografιstos of Pandis
(who had also taken part) and made
their plans there. 1 was a policeman. On
being notified Ι also went there from

German. He used to eat here, at the

was a tall building opposite the school.
He was staying at Villa Ariadne and

and then leave. Naturally he would
leave early and we never had enough
time. Ι observed him for two weeks,
from the beginning of April onwards.
He was kidnapped on the 26th. That

Heraclion in ruins
Up until the 15th of June we were
living on the edge - not knowing what
to expect. Those German soldiers who
had survived, were given the right to a
ten-day pillaging on the city. On the 1st
of June they shot the first six men at
Heraclion airport. They had been identified from photographs, as resistance
fighters. Those fighters who escaped,
fled to the mountains. That is how the
first of the resistance forces began to
materialize, in the summer of 1941. All
the Germans' loot was piled on to aeroplanes and ships on its way to Germany.
All those houses at Herac\ion that
had not been completely demolished,
had been left wide open. Nothing had
been left in its place, not a window not a
door. We dared not go back to the city.
The Germans would force anyone they
found in their way to bury the dead and
clear the rubble off the streets. In the
middle of June Ι went to Heraclion in a
cart with my father. Our journey lasted
five days. We found our home halfruined. It had been ransacked. The
neighbours told us the Germans had
loaded three trucks. They were followed
by locals who had also pillaged the area.
The village we took refuge in was
overrun by the army. It grew very hot
the first ten days and the half-naked
soldiers would ransack the houses, taking food, clothing, fumiture and anything else they wanted. They would
evict the inhabitants and occupy the
homes they preferred. Our house was
situated in an isolated part of the village
and we were lucky enough to have
escaped the initial flurry. We locked
ourselves in and waited. Later on we
were discovered and were forced down
into the two rooms on the ground floor,
while the Germans occupied the first
floor. We did not like this at all, not
knowing that there was worse to come.
They did not take anything from our
home.
In March \942 my father was captured. The Germans blockaded the village. They had been betrayed by one of
the locals and my father was identified
as an accomplish to the resistance fighters. On the 3rd of June of that same
year he was shot a\ong with eleven others at Heraclion. On the 14th they shot
another fifty men from the prison of
Alikarnassos at Heraclion, in the act of
reprisa\ against commandoes who had
sabotaged the nearest airport and had
set fire to fifteen German aircraft.
Among the fifty men who died were my
father's brother (a 70 year o\d priest),
his son and his son-in-law.
Those members of my family who
were left., returned to the derelict city of
Heraclion in October 1944, after having
spent four years as refugees.

crisscrossing the country in search of work.
Greek Immigrant W omen
in the Intermountain W est
By HELEN PAPANIKOLAS
Beginning in the 1830s, emigrant women crossed the
plains and the Rocky Mountains and recorded their experiences. T hey continued to keep journals while helping to
clear the sagebrush, to plant, and to raise many children.
From those often poignant, often terse sentences our knowledge of that epic period has been enriched. In the Greek
immigrant past we have reminiscences but only one journal
written by a Greek male sojourner in the first years of this
century. Ν ο Greek woman wrote to tell us ofher life far from
urban sanctuaries, the Greek Towns of the East. T he
Women were unlettered; their knowledge came to them
from a vibrant oral tradition. Ι feel impelled to speak of
these first immigrant women before their American experience is lost to history.
In western mining camps, smelter and mill towns, and in
railroad terminals often not one woman lived am o ng
hundreds, even thousands, of men, all paying padrones for
their jobs. The men were unmarried or had left their wives
behind; all expected to return to Greece within a few years.
Several men, though, brought their young wives with them
and they became the matriarchs of their people. Pregnant
every year, they were without the help of women relatives in
birth and illness. They took in boarders, washed by hand,
baked bread ίη outdoor ovens, planted and irrigated large
gardens, and prepared ΙΌοd for countless l'ellow vιllagers
crisscrossing the country in search of work. For the traditional hospitality of the Greek race had to be extended.
Three lone women ίη separate regions of Utah, one in
McGill, Nevada, another ίη Rawlins, Wyoming, two in
Idaho, one in Pueblo, Colorado, and one in Bozeman,
Montana, lived their lives isolated from the companionship
of other Greek women. The three Utah women Ι knew well
in their old age symbolize fo r me these first pioneer women,
one from Roumeli, one from the Peloponnese, and one from
Crete.

out two dreambooks interpreting dreams and as patriarch of
the twenty-five mining camps in eastern Utah, examined the
shoulder blade of the Easter Jamb to foretell the year's
events. These duties endeared him to the Greek immigrants
and during Prohibition he endeared himself to the Americans by making, everyone said, the best bootleg liquor in the
state.
Νο one said much about Yiannina; she was only doing
woman's work. For years she was the only Greek woman in
the coal fields. She raised eight children and a Greek boy
whose mother had died. With village modesty she would not
allow the mine company doctor to attend her; her husband
delivered all eight children himself. ''It's no different from a
ewe and a Jamb", he said.
Besides her children, the ubiquitous garden, she had two
brothers-in-law and often a patriotis or two as boarders. The
men lived in the washhouse, a few feet from the crowded
main house. Every Saturday she had the Greek boys from
nine to twelve years of age who worked either in the mines or
as water boys on railroad gangs come to her house where she
lined them up and washed their hair. Το her house the
picture brides began to come and while men were roasting
Jambs in her backyard, she was preparing engagements and

wedding dinners. She was compassionate, buying shoes and
food for the children of striking miners; she was also tart of
tongue.
There are no longer Greeks like Barba Yiannis and Yiannina. Ι η the thirties Yiannina finally got a washing machine.
She kept it in the kitchen and on Mondays pushed it into the
dining room where she had more room to work. In the
middle of her washing one Monday the front door opened
and Barba Yiannis appeared with Archibishop Athenagoras, six feet seven or eight, in black robes with gold pectoral
cross, tall black kalimafkίon on his head, and his staff of
office in his hand. "Ghria," Barba Yiannis announced,
"efera ton arhipiskopo na fame." ('Όld woman, I've brought

Barba Yiannis for bringing the archbishop without warning

roads to disintegrate over the centuries and Greeks no
Jonger knew how to build them, foreigners were brought in.
Α village crew of women and girls carήed rocks and crushed
them for the road bed. One was a fourteen-year-old called
Mami the midwife. She had acquired the name after delivering a woman who had been caught with labor pains while
harvesting grain.
Already with four small children, she had four more in the
milltown. She delivered a generation of babies, then
another, and another until she spent sixty years at her
calling. She prescribed folk cures, set bones, dispelled the
evil eye. Her fame grew as she began attending, Italian
Yugoslavic, and American women. She used no anesthetic'
except whiskey. What was left she poured over her hair t~
make it strong.
Besides gardening, canning fruits and vegetables, making
belde, tomato paste, and gallons of hilopites, minute pasta
squares, she had to contend with an autocratic husband.
When her oldest daughters entered their teen years, young
Greek laborers going home from the mill made detours past
Magherou's house, hoping for a glimpse of them. Their
father painted the windows gray, so that the young men
could not look in and his daughters could not look out. In
later years Magherou went on mercy missions to surrounding states, most often to care for children whose mothers
were dangerously ill or had died. These were called psychika, acts good for one's soul. Her life was a litany of
psychika.
The third woman who typifies for me those first Greek
women of the West is Arghyro Georgelas (Georgelakis).
Pregnant when she left Crete in 1911, she arrived in Starkville, a coal mining town ίη southern Colorado, fomenting
against the abuses of workers by management. Νο other
Greek woman was in the camps. She went into labor and the
Italian, Yugoslav, and Mexican women rushed to help her.
Troubles mounted and would lead to the Ludlow Massacre
in which the leader of the Greeks, Elias Spandidhakis,
known as Louis Tikas, was murdered by the Colorado
National Guard.
The Georgelas family fled to the minin.R camps of eastern

Utah. Nine more children were born and always the family
moved from one coal camp to another, from one campany
house to another. In some places they took in boarders, in
others she washed the clothing of Greek laborers living in
tents and shacks they built themselves. On their way to
work, the men would throw their soiled clothing into the
Georgelas back yard. She would use a long stick to pick
them up, then drop them into a large pot of water boiling
over a fire in her backyard, because they were crawling with
lice. Her oldest daughter died in childbirth. After Arghyro
Georgelakis keened the mirologhia the laments, her daughter was buried in a thanatoghamos, a death wedding, in her
wedding dress and stefani, the wedding crown on her head.
Now the matriarch had four more children to raise. She
had to buy at the company store with scrip issued by the
mine instead of money. Prices were high for food, clothing,
and the blasting powder and tools which the miners were
forced to buy. During all these years she lived the anxietyfilled life of all women whose husbands worked in mines.
Falls of coal and explosions happened regularly. In an
accident her husband injured his foot. Over the years more
and more of it was cut off until his entire leg was amputated.
He tήed working with a wooden leg, but could not manage
the pick and shovel. On a pittance his wife raised their
children and grandchildren. The Depression years were
especially precarious.
Arghyro Georgelakis had a phenomenal memory and Ι
often visited her to ask about an item Ι had read in old
newspapers. She learned to read and write Greek by having
her children show her each night what they had learned in
Greek school. Ι never heard her complain, even ίη her last
years when she wa~ terminally ill. Only once did she say

sorrowfully, "It was in 1936, our entire clan, my married
daughters, my children at home, all, we could not get three
dollars together to buy an Easter lamb to celebrate the
Resurrection." When this clan gathers for family celebrations, they have to rent a hall.
These first women were followed by an increasing number
of picture brides during and after the Balkan Wars involving
Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria. Men who had returned to
Greece to fight came back with brides for themselνes and
others for their friends. The United States had women detectiνes follow these groups from Elis lsland, suspicious that
the women were being brought oνer the prostitution.
Women traveling alone suffered greatly. Without a male
relatiνe to accompany them, they could be suspected of
being of loose virtue. Ν ot all wanted to come to America. Α
song sung at the time tells it plainly:
Don not send me, Mother, to Amerίca
Ίhere Ι wil/ wither and die.
Several women wanted to become nuns, one escaped to a
convent but was brought back by her father, another's father
held a knife to her chest. Their parents sent them to an
unknown land and to unknown husbands. Other women
wanted to come so desperately to aνoid being the oνer­
worked serνants to other family members that they became
conspirators in false marriages with strangers called in off
the streets. They could then leaνe for America as supposedly
married women; countrymen would find husbands for them
there. By far, howeνer, the women pined for their villages
and their people. For women who had no male relatives in
this country, more than homesickness fed their longings. In
Greece fathers, brothers, uncles protected women from abusiνe husbands if a dowry had been paid; in America, the
women had to depend ο η their husbands' filotimo, his sense
of honor, which was often lacking.
The women were safe in their Greek Towns, but the
dislike and distrust of the new immigrants heightened into
hysteria when America entered the Great War. The initial
reluctance of Greeks to being inducted into the army
brought persecution to those Greek Towns. Although many
Greeks νolunteered and others were inducted into the army,
the American Legion founded in March of 1919led a campaign against the Balkan and Mediterranean immigrants of
ferocious magnitude. Few Greeks had registered for the
compulsory English classes; they continued to send money
to their families, which had rankled Americans from the
beginning of Greek immigration; and they continued to be
inνolved in strikes, which was generally viewed as unAmerican. The participation of the Cretan miners in the
national coal strike of 1922 inflamed the public. "Biting the
hand that feeds you," the newspapers editorialized.
Around this turbulent peήod women came to the Intermountain West far different in education and privilege f rom
the earlier village brides. These women were refugees during
the forced exchange of populations between Greece and
Turkey after the Asia Minor debacle of 1921. The sudden
loss of dowries forced these women to emigrate, often to
maπy laborers of little or no education. Some taught Greek
school, took part in plays; seνeral wrote poems that were
published in newspapers like the Atlantis.
The continued influx of immigrants culminated in the Ku
Klux Klan attacks of 1923-24 with Klan parades, cross
burnings , Greek businesses inνaded and demolished. This
was a fearful time for all women and children, but far more
for families of sheepmen. Fathers were away for months at a
time, in the mountains summering the sheep, on deserts for
lambing and shearing. Many families spent the summers in
the mountains where the mothers and daughters bottled
fruits and vegetables, made belde, and sheets of filo stored
between newspapers to last the heders until the following
summer. Seνeral sheepmen's wives stepped out ofthe tradi-

tional role of women. They drove pickup trucks down the
mountains to buy supplies. While in town for the school
year, they bought real estate, collected rents, and kept books
in a primitive fashion. Many of these mothers, as well as
other Greek women, tended illicit whiskey stills. Some also
knew the shame of arrest.
At the peak of Klan activity, the Castle Gate Mine
Number Two in Utah exploded on March 8, 1924 killing 171
men. Forty-nine Greeks were killed; ten were married, seven
to Greek women; they Jeft forty-one children. The outrage
over the negligence of management resulted in the women
receiving about twenty dollars a month until their children
were grown. They were more fortunate than women whose
husbands were killed in single accidents. In those years,
without workmen's compensation and socia\ security benefits, the widows had to depend on the charity of their fellow
Greeks. They did not work outside their houses because of
fear of the old-country signeurial rights of male employers
that could include sexual relations. They suffered profoundly. Nor did they marry again as did Yugoslavian and
Italian women. Only one did; she was very young with a
unborn child. The man who married her was congratulated
for performing this good-for-soul act.
Besides these women there are others who defied the
mores of Greek culture. Several Cretan girls eloped with
mainlanders whose Jives were then injeopardy. They carried
guns at all times and were protected by their village friends.
Several others, while in Greece, had rejected their parents'
choice for husbands and secretly Jeft for America with other
men; tragedy often followed. Α 1923 issue of the Salt Lake
City Το Fos ("The Light") told of a Greek woman, the
mother of two children, who was ordered out of the city
along with her procurer for prostitution. Was she a widow
without relatives or had she been ostracized by them and
turned to prostitution to support her children?
Another group does not fit the picture we have of the
average Greek immigrant family. Those include native-born
Americans and ethnic women married to Greeks. Invariably
the Italian, Yugoslav, and the fewer German and Swedish
women who married young Greeks learned to speak Greek,
cook Greek foods, converted to Orthodoxy, and raised their
children in the Greek tradition. Α curious anomaly occurred
among American women married to Greek procurers to
avoid the white slavery Jaws. These couples often remained
together into old age gradually settling down to a prosaic
Ιife.
In the 1920s the Greeks began moving out of their Greek
Towns and into more affluent neighborhoods. The 1921 and
24 restriction 1aws drastically cut down the number of young
men coming into the country and the boardinghouse system
faded, to the re1ief of most women. Then the 1930s Depression came, the nadir of Greek immigrant experience in the
intermountain West. Mines worked half shifts or not at all;
sheepmen could not sell their lam bs at any price and abandoned then in the Denver, Kansas City, and Chicago stockyards. The women reverted to the extreme frugality they had
known in paιridha. They never went visiting without bringing a few chicks, a bottle of canned fruit, a loaf of bread.
By the beginning of World War ΙΙ, their children were
grown, most of them marήed and they shared in war-time
prosperity. Α number worked in defense plants. ln general
Greek women in the Intermountain West experienced a far
better life in America than they would had, had they
remained in their villages. They differed from other south
European and Balkan women in two important aspects:
they did not remarry after the deaths oftheir husbands and
they did not take part in labor strikes as Italian and Yugoslavian women did. Their man goals in life were to be considered good homemakers, nykokyres, and to see their
children married within the Greek culture. Return visits to
the fatherland dimmed their nostalgia. They lived to see
grandchildren and, for some, great grandchildren in the
clergy and the professions. 'Ήοw could we ever be\ieve such
things lay ahead when we left ourvillage?" they said with the
same awe as on watching the first astronaut step on the
moon.

Life is a constant search. It is fmding solutions to the
questions, finding out what it is all about. Death is but a
continuation of life on a better scale...
An Unusual
Greek Centenarian
By
Α few years ago the Governor of the
State of Rhode lsland came up with a
bήlliant idea. Every spring he offers a
brunch party to all the centenarians of
his State celebrating in this fashion their
collective birthdays.
More than thirty people attended the
gathering last May, and it is to be
beleived that they had a wonderful time
with music and singing. It must have

Among the hundred years old or
more (actually there was a man counting one hundred and eleven years of
age) journalist Wanda Howard of the
Providence Journal spotted a man that
impressed her. The next day she went to
see him and asked for his life story.

scenes from the Greek islands. Graceful

this tempting item on the menu, which is
best savored with chilled Greek wine
served at the SOUVLAKI RESTAURANT.
Two additional entre'es that are very
popular at this charming p1ace are ShisKebab which is comprised of tender
premarinated chunks of baby \amb
broiled on individual spits and served
with rice pi1af and Greek sa1ad. The
other specia1ty is a Souv/akί, which
inc1udes a subt1e combination of juicy,
delicious1y seasoned beef and 1amb
broi1ed on a constant1y turning spit,
thinly s1iced and served with rice pilaf
and the customary Greek sa1ad. For
those wanting to savor a combination of
shish-kebab, souv/akί, and sausage, a
special Greek mixed grill is prepared
with pungency and fragrance that defies
description.
It is a1so important to note that tht:
restaurant a1so offers similar grilled and
barbecued meats in the form of sandwiches made out of pita bread. The hot
pita enve1opes feta cheese, grilled meats,
onions, tomatoes and other vegetab1es
in a de1icious concoction that is readi1y
prepared and picked up by passersby
who stop at the take-out window and
g1are at the flaming grill manned by the
various expert chefs of Mediterranea n
origin in flaw1ess white outfits.
Desserts are 1imited to bak/ava and
galactobouriko which are syrup soaked
and fresh and go well with the Greek
coffee served at the restaurant. Other
beverages inc1ude American coffee, tea,
an assortment of sodas, and, for those
desiring something stronger, Greek and
Cypriot wines.
Commensurate with its mouthwatering menu, this pretty p1ace is also
distinguished for courteous service.
We\1-mannered young men wait at
tables with man1y ease and grace.
Orders are taken as promptly as they are
served, and no visib1e effort is made to
rush customers despite the crowds that
are attracted during the spring and
summer months in particular. The
owner and his wife are usually on hand
to offer suggestions and match dishes
that are bound to please tourists and
regu1ars a1ike. Additional assistance,
and tru1y professional guidance may be
obtained from the Cypriot waiters
whose know1edge and experience
deserve recognition.
The restaurant is open seven days a
week servίng 1unch, dinner, and aftertheater snacks. This is tru1y a wonderfu1
place to dine when sightseeing in the
Village or just aching fo r a tasty Greek
tidbit.

After you've had your breath
taken away by the Parthenon at
sunset.
After you've been dazz1ed by
a white-washed village over1ooking a turquoise sea.
After you've enjoyed the comedy of A r istophanes or the drama
of Sophoc1es in a two-thousandyear-o1d theater.
After all this, Greece has so
much more.
Νο wonder trave1ers who know
Europe best-the Europeans-preferred Greece as their first vacation
choice in a recent survey.
For Greece is the one p1ace in
Europe where your breath is taken
away by the scenery and not the
prices.
So if you're p1anning to come
to Europe this year, why not choose
the vacation p1ace preferred by
Europeans.
It could be one of the wisest
decisions you've ever made.
