Ale jakmile odvaZil se nekterV z obrovskSrch rytikti jemu na blizko, skolil jej Janek jedinYm mavnutim sveho meee, takze si pak nikdo vice v zapas s nim jiti netroufal. Kdy2 zaznely trouby na zna,meni, ze zapas skoneen, pkistoupil opet kral k Jankovi, chteje ho pozdraviti, ale ten °tail sveho konika a jako stkela odletel. noel pkiklusal ku hradu, odvedl Hnedouge do stale, polail se pak na la2ko a spal jako princ.

Nasledujiciho jakmile vstoupil do staje, slygel za sebou °pet hlas: "Janku, Janku". "Co dobreho, mfij Hneclougku?" tazal se a link:long odpovedel: "To Vranik zavolal, ja ne."

"Co chce g muj Vranieku?" ptal se zno vu Janet "Osedlej mne a jed' na SklenenSr vrch, av gak je-1i ti Atesti mile, nezdrZuj se tam," pravil Vranik.

"Tot', nejmengi starost," usmal se Janek, osedlal konika, vygvihl sa nail' a jel po tketi ku Sklenenemu vrchu . Lille jegte vice se posmivali jezdci i chroine herce, nebot' konik jests vice kulhal n,o2

Dlouho trvalo neZ doklusall na Skleneny kde Vranik tkikrate zatieel. — Zdalo se jankovi nernoZno, ze by mohl bYti jests krasneji vystrojen ne2 veera; a pkee to muloylo tak. Odev jeho byl pkeskvostnY, same zlato a dra,he kameny.

Secllo a uzda Vranikova byla tak clivukrasna, ze na celem svete nemohlo bYt nic nadhernej giho. "DrZ se pevne v sedle," pravil Vranik, "nedej se nieim ma sti a rozdavej na v gecky strany padne rany." "Nestarej se" od yetil Janek, "tomu ja, dobke rozumim."

Sotva dotekl, vzepjal se Vranik a liekolika obrovskYrni skoky ocitl se s JanRem na zapasi gti. Janek chopitle meee a maval a sekal jim kolem sebe tak nelitostne, ze kirsy helmic a brneni, Stitt"' i men na fgecky strany litaly. Kdy2 zaznely trouby pc) ukoneenem zapase, obratil Janek rychle sveho kone a stkelhbite ujadel prye. Ale kral chtel tenkrate jiste spatkiti hrdinu, kterY tolik jeho nejstateenej gich rytikti pkemohl, vydal rozkaz, aby se brana pevne uza.ykela. Jakmile vgak Janet k brans se pkiblilil a zpozoroval, ze je ze vgech stran obklieen, couvl se sv3im Vranikem nazad, ten se vzepjal a jediny veli“/In skokem branu pfeletel. "V gak ja si to poznamenam," vykitkl kral obit a airgtil po nem swim meeem. Janek jej chy til pravici za gpieku, ktera se do jeho tyrde dlane zabodla a ulomila.

Kral tegil se z toho a vyslal druhY den na vgecky strany posly, kteki aby rytik, v jeho dlani vezi hrot kralova mace, ku krali se dostavil, ze mu za, jeho udatnost da svou dceru za man Zelku. Nekteki z rytiku byli tak pogetili ze si vraZeli gpieky syYch mean do dlani a hlasili se pak u ion.° o princeznu. Avgak vgichni museli s hanbou odejiti, neb ZadnY ten hrot nehodil se k meal kralovu.

"Poll& mi, 13elou gku," ptal se drive lichotive, "prod jsi me varoval, abych se na Sklenenern vrchu nezdrZoval?"

Padesit let na ptide Texaske (Pakradoveni) Hned vedle v arm stranu s nami souse dll Karel Ermis, kterY se take ° genii s Flijpjnou ZoroskYch ad Cameron. On za kterY si rok tech svojich 55 akra prodal. a koupil v jinem miste vet gi farmu kde i my, moji rodide v roku 1913 koupili, a to ad Jos. Mondficha, jak tu svoji farmu rozmetil na prodej. Karla Ermisovi nechali brzo farmovani a dostehovali se do mesta Cameron.

Frank Ermis u g byl vice roka genatY, jeho ma.ng elka Aneg ka take byla dcera ZarovskYch od Cameron a mimo svojich zdedenYch 55 akria meli kaupenYch 100 alai take od Dr. Newton. Ermisovi meii na tech sto akrech nejake nejnutnejg i budovy tak g e east tato farmy pronajimali, a rodina Aloise Slavika ji obdelavala v roku 1907. Jos. Slavik mnoho léty tajemnik VYkonneha VYbaru spolku R. V. 0. a. byl nejstarsi a mel bra try Toma g , Alois, Frantu a sestru Franti gka. Kdyg jsem tarn byl u nich na besede, tak jsme si za gli do zahrady. Mluvili jsme o pidesech, a pain Slavikova nes opravila, 2'le to jsou "bro,sky y". V torn roku, 1907, jak jsme byli doma hotovi se sbiranim baviny tak jsem gel pomoct sbirat bavinu k nagim sousedam Schilleram. Mali je gte hodne baviny v poll, take Jos. Slavik tam pikoval. Jednau jsem si s urn vzal tfi kadky dohromady. ale on mi ukazal jak se muslin obracet abych z toho prosttedniho spoleeneha tadku nee() dostal do mojeho pytle. Ku konci roku Siavici se odstehovali do osady Marak, a na jejich misto se ptistehovala rodina Franka Janieka ze Shiner. Men syna Frantu mohl miti tak 21 roku dcera, Rosie 18 nem 19, a jeete jedna mia,d gi dcera, asi 16. let. Jeji jmeno mi nezastalo V paraeti.

Byl jsem jednou v nedeli odpoledne se podivat, kdy m'eli tam dosti velkou besedu. Mledeg se bavila ye svetnici a na galeriji. Maminka s mlad gi dcerou se toeily pilne v kuchyni. Ja jsem pa svojem prichodu k nim zastal tatinka yeselYch deti na venku samotneho, ktery seal ye stinu ko g ateha stronau pobliz doma nejak zamY glen. Po ptivitani se s nim jsem na jeho tvati vzpozareval, Ze ta veselost' naliatevnikii na nej nemile pasobi.

Byla to na jate kdy v poll bylo mnoho zanedbane prace naslecikem eastYch degt'a. Mali jen jeden par potahu, pozemek se te gko obdelaval, proto 'g e pada byla hodne promisena kamernm ekl mi ze jak skiidi arodu na podzim, ze se budou stehovat zpatky k Shiner .

Cog

(Pige John Stag a, Corpus Christi) take i udelali.

Nadesel ca s kdy vsichni besedati byh zavolani k svaeine. Nejak jsem se ostYchal nechati se hostit ani g bych si toho zasloug il. Nevedel jsem z•da-li take nada nekdy od nich pkijde k nam aby se mohlo oplatit. Po del gim Nolanim a pobidnutim pana damacnosti jsem take zasedl ku stolu, ale pro (Thinacillu hostitele u g nebylo misto. on ,,;e inusel spokojit s tim, az je-tli na nej co zbylo. Stul abtegkanY samyrui dobroty musel bYti doplfrovan, a dvakrate k nemu zasednout vyg aduje dosti velkou praci a vYdani.

Hlavni slovo tehdy :ed1 svobodnY a vyslouzily vojak, nyni n na vednern, odoinku Jos. Ermis. On gi co dobrovolnik vysloug il svaj ears u mince ((Domobrana-. Mel toho dost co povidat, umel druhe i sebe bavit tun, ge mei velkou radost z tech stYdlivYch. Kdyz se jim mohl hodne vysinat pted druhYmi. Z rodiny Ja.niekove jsem videl jsen Frantu, od te doby co se odstehovali a to asi o rok pozdeji, on kamaredil hodne .s Josefern Kovatem byli si rovneho stab i velikosti. Michael Koval' take v tom case se ptistehoval od Shiner k Buckholts a byli u Walchakü v najmu na farina.

Ty svaeiny se hodne vYchystovaly tam kde byly dorostle deveata. Byl to na torn venkove mezi nag im lidem takovY pahostinnY zvYk. Kdyg rodina Fr. Janina se odstehovala z toho mista, tak se tarn nastehoval Albert Podany s jell() genou a dvema malymi chlapci, Albertem a Joe. Podaneho g ena byla amerieanka a. pochodila z Ezzell, rodu, Pozdeji jejich rodina byla zvetg ena. On si velice potrpel na pekny potah, a byl dobry rolnik,pracovitY, jen ge jeho mang elka hodne churavela, tak se a aspory delili s lekati a lekarniky. Ja. mel take lekatske o getteni a to prvni od nageho ptistehovani se do Texas.

Sisters and brothers, the fight against polio is not yet over. There are still thousands of children who have not had the polio shots. Polio is no respecter of class. it strikes the rich as well a

Roosevelt. He gave us many things, to his America coming Put of a ten year depression, but his organization of the Infantile Paralysis Foundation is the most memorable one of him. He was a symbol to all the stricken that the day would come when polio( as it is now known) would be licked.

King Saud, the ruler of Saudi Arabia, now visiting our White House for peace conference talks with our president, also brought with him his six-year-old prince son, a beautiful child, for consultation with polio Dxperts. You see, no one is ruled out.

The child came through with a brace on one limb, but that family paid out in just the first three weeks $1,200.00—and I don't know how much more later even with some aid from the Polio Foundation. They had to mortgage their home in the p r ocess. Think of what that would do to your and my budget! It knocks the breath out of one!

We were all happy to see Brother Jody Rejcek and his lovely wife, , Nancy at our January dance. Jody ind Nancy were hard workers and contributed much to the lodge. They are now making their home in Amarillo.

Also, another couple of lodge workers attended our February dance, and they are Sister and Brother Kblenovsky of Austin. We were glad to see I both these couples and hope they will ! return for a visit real soon.

Now make a mentalimote of this — on Wednesday night, February 20, there will be a special dance at the 'lodge.

The music will be furnished by the "Six Fat Dutchmen" from 'NeW Ulm, Minnesota. This group is well known for making records for the RCA Victor Recording Company, and were rated as the No. 1. Polka Band of 1956.

We with to express the thanks !of. the lodge to Sister Carlyn and Brother,Willie Ondrusek and Sister Justine and Brother Cyril Pokladnik for donations of ham, bacon and klobase at our last dance.

On Sunday, March 3, a dinner will be served at the lodge, beginning at 1:00 o'clock. Later the same afternoon, a Czech operetta, under the direction of Sister Bozena Jez, will be presented.

There will be soars: of good actors and actresses in it, so watch the Vestnik for the time and cast of players.

After the stage show, there will be a dance.

I really do enjoy reading the stories about Czechoslovakia. My two grandfathers and my grandmothers came Czechoslovakia. They sometimes tell us about things when they were boys and girls, so keep writing us those interesting stories. We are very fortunate to be living in America and not having

Best regards to all.

Sincerely yours, Janet Gayle Paclik (Editor's note—Dear Janet: you really did write a very fine letter to your column. I hope it will not be the last.

Thanks, your friend.—L.O.H. ) • 'z? 4 THE STOLEN TOY TRAIN A 12-year-old New England boy stole an electric train from a department store and took it home. After several days he became unhappy.

Finally the boy returned to the store and, in fear and trepidation, approached the manager saying, "Here's a train I stole last week. I want to give it back."

"What made you return it?"

"I just couldn't enjoy it," the boy answered, "I'm sorry I ever took it."

The manager held out his hand for the train.

"What are you going to do to me?"

"Nothing," the manager said, "you've already punished yourself."

The boy then hesitantly explained that the engine had needed some minar repairs which he'd made so that it now ran much better than before.

Impressed by the boy's sincerity and ability, the manager asked him if he would care to repair two defective engines in the stockroom. "Of course I'll pay you for that work," the man added.

I And so the, boy learned early that a mistake, if acknowledged and corrected, often can lead to a blessing.

—Doris Ricker Marston ) Dear Boys and Girls: Today I am going to tell you of one interesting method people of Czechoslovakia used to wash clothes. My mother told me this, and I do not know whether this was the poor man's way of washing clothes, or whether it was the method of that particular village, for every social level had its own method, the city family, the country family, anyway — my uncles and aunts were peasants, and among other pieces of clothing made at home my uncles wore heavy homespun pants in the fields that had to be washed at home (there were no public laundries or dry cleaners) and my mother and her sisters had to go the washing and without laundry soap. That surprised me for bow could anyone wash anything without laundry powder or laundry soap. "Well," I asked my mother, "how DID you wash clothes without laundry soap?" She said, "We wet down wood ashes in an iron pot

Strana 23 with lots of water and let it stand overnight, and in the morning we drained off the clear water and soaked the clothes in that." You see, wood ashes contain what is commonly known as lye, which is also an important ingredient in soap. After the clothes soaked for a while they were taken to the village pond, hand rubbed on some flat stones the women had prepared by the pond for such purposes and rolled up the clothes to steep in the sun for two or three hours. Then the clothes were rinsed and spread on the grassy banks of the pond to dry (they had no clothes lines or clothes pins). Girls at a very early age were taught to assist with clothes washing. You see cotton doesn't grow in Czechoslovakia as it4f does in Texas for the climate is not "suited for it, so they grew flax which was spun and woven into linen cloth. The linen cloth was of a more coarse quality than what we know here and was a grey in color. This had to be bleached after it was woven into cloth and the women with the assistance of the girls would spread this out on the grassy banks of the pond and wet and wt it down with the water from the pond until the sun bleached it white. It was a long procesS which sometimes had to be repeated for more than One day.

Several village women washing at the pond would spend a pleasant day washing and visiting — catching up on the village gossip — and the little girls were right there helping. That's why these little girls were such marvelous, thrifty, hard working homemakers when they grew up and got married.

Don't you think that was interesting?

Oh, yes, these peasant people purchased their face soap from the wagon peddler that came to the village every , so often. They usually exchanged the soap,. salt, cloth of fine quality or other necessities for eggs, butter, down feathers and geese.

The pond was a wonderful skating rink in the winter when it was frozen ever for the girls as well as the boys of Czechoslovakia. In the summer the pond was wonderful for swimming. Of course, not having bathing suits as we do here, the boys had to swim together when 11w girls weren't looking — and when the boys weren't looking the girls would tie up their shirt sleeves and pants legs into hard knots — you see the idea probably started just to hear the gang yell and scream in indignation over having to untie knots and in jeopardy of being seen by someone --sans a bathing suit. Of course, I can't say for sure that the girls did all that

Resolution of Sympathy LODGE 88, HOUSTON RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY We the undersigned resolution committee of Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 wish to express our sympathy to the family of our departed brother and doctor HENRY R. MARESH who passed into the unknown the 28th of January, 1957. In Dr. Henry Maresh we lost a wonderful doctor and a sincere friend. His ambition was to bring our Czech people before the eyes of the American public, as citizens worthy of this land of plenty. It seemed he never rested.

Women's Nook Dear Sisters!!

It is amazing at the amount of "junk" a, person collects during one's lifetime. Then when moving time comes and you have to make decisions in sorting the stuff about what goes and what stays, the respective associations dart through one's mind with each object handled. Some of the things bring back your girlhood, your marriage, your sons and then the precious grandchildren and as the panorama of your life unfolds you realize that you've been here a long time. "Old girl, you're a bit aged."

I ran across a heavy earthen top of an old fashion butter churn; one that has a long wooden handle with a wooden cross piece at the end to serve as a dasher which slipped through a small opening in the center of a heavy cover, where the thick sweet cream the dasher beat into a thick froth used to come up with each up-stroke of the dasher.

How I loved to run my finger into this and plop it into my mouth to grunt in ecstacy. My wonderful mother used to say I was "mlsma, joko kocicka" (lickerish as a kitten.) I was a child of eight or nine years and mother had the four of us children, my younger brother and my two young sisters, take turns walking around the churn, kerplunk, kerplunking the thick cream in march cadence to some Czech song like Tuky, Tuky, Tuk, kdo to klepa na okenko" or some poem like "kolo, kolo, inlynska" until the golden specks of butter came up on the wooden handle and our work was done. Mother would finish the butter. We learned many a nursery rhyme or song in Czech that way and for a while mother had us under control.

I found the old churn in her garage one day, years after I had married, and I asked her for it. She had some fond memories of it for she did not dispose of it when her butter making days were over. I now had two small sons myself and I would give them the experience of my childhood churning

IT ES TNIK — WEST, TEXAS

butter the way Grandmother used to do. There were no electric churns in her days. My sons enjoyed the novelty of this unique way of making butter until the novelty wore off and then wouldn't hear of it. The old churn was put aside again. Finally the earthen bottom cracked, broke and was thrown away. Only the top with its wooden dasher remained to rush back at me the precious memories of my childhood and of the loved ones that are now gone and who made my childhood so wonderful. —Anna Hosek The Editor's Wife Dear Girls: Of all memorable days, Saint Valentine is the best. This day, February 14, is named for the Roman priest, the Bishop of Spoleto. He is regarded as the patron saint of lovers, hence the sending of tokens of love to those we love on this day.

My Valentine faithfully sends me a beautiful paper heart versed in sentiment and I in turn send him one all I lacy and sweet. (He used to send me a heart-shaped box of chocolates when we first married but somewhere down the line he decided that the calories might not be so good for me, that he liked me just the way I was, so, no candy.)

In spite of the fact that one is no longer sixteen, the exchange of hearts is a sweet sentimental expression and this old Valentine of yours who has weathered the storms of life with you through your married years is certainly deserving of a remembrance.

Then, too, there are the gra.ndkids.

It is a big day for them to get a Valentine from Babi and Deda.

So, girls, don't forget the boy in your house this 14th, and send him a real smoochy Valentine. He will be pleased even if he might hide by saying "Aren't you getting a little old for this?"

I remember Valentine before the store-bought hearts were within reach of a child's pocketbook. We made Valentines by the dozen in school in art class from red drawing paper and at home from whatever was available, even the ruled pencil tablet paper which we used in class work They were decorated, with crayolas or just pencil and painstakingly printed verses like the old standby-Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, Sugar Is Sweet, and Sor Are You, Valentine! The night of the 13th we would sneak out at dusk and slip a Valentine under the gate or in the corner of the fence post in the yard

Strana 25 of your best girl and boy friends. One never signed them, so there was lots of guessing who this or that might be.

We would compare our Valentines the next day and if your girl friend got more than you did you would go home bawling "Margaret got more than did," but it was lots of fun, too, and the fancy drawing on some of the hearts would make an art teacher's hair curl! Much later the penny Valentines came into being and children saved pennies for a long time to be able to buy enough Valentines to go around and our creative talent slowly died an artist's death.

Now Valentine is as commercialized as Christmas and a person car spend a small fortune in decorations, tdod and., candies in the Valentine motif.

I do not know if on the whole children today have as much fun out of Valentine as we kids of a couple of generations ago did with our homemade ones, but I can say that our Valentines certainly were not any expense and just as much fun, possibly more.

So, girls, in closing may,. I again say,' send your love your token paper heart this 14th and I hope that both of you recapture for a moment the thrilli'Of; the occasion. Happy Valentine!

Editor's Wife e el 4 ( Dear Girls: There is so much talk from SOWcf§., in the know about inflation that brings to mind my old English teachers. who before a test would tell us to study chapters such and such and finishing off with "A Hint to the Wise Is Suffie, dent," who would present us with a "crackerjack" quiz the next day.

S'o it is with this inflation talk which: suggests that we all pull out the 01;1 piggy bank resting on some shelf in' our closet and start filling his to with dimes and quarters for just , as sure as that inflated balloon expands, so it will burst and collapse unless we individually and as a nation do some, thing about it.

So it is for the homemaker to start the ball rolling, taking inventory and start holding in some of that change: It also hints to other savings such as better marketing practices by planning one's menus a whole week in advance and buying accordingly, eating all of the food so that the garbage can won't eat it. What America's garbage ca get in the way of leftovers could 'feed a small nation. It takes planning' but it means money in ycur pocket. Cloth ing care by every member of the fain, ily is another item to tackle, Just prop-

Strana 26 erly hanging up of one's clothes after each wearing, brushing, and mending will save countless dollars in a year's time in useless dry cleaning and pressing. Burning thirty cent gasoline just to go three or four blocks to the movies, visit, light marketing when walking would be moa:e ingivorating and healthful. There are countless other corners to cut which the individual family homemaker will find when she starts looking.

Experts agree that this budgeting of family income, or should we say, controlled spending of the family income is a family affair and that the children as just as game as the grownups in its accomplishment. The experts suggest as a starter that the family write down every cent that i spent for one month so that a bird's ege view of the total yearly income can be seen and from that start the budget can be ork, , cl out.

Jura. to give you some idea of what is meant by a budget is spending here are some captions to include: Food, of course, is one of the largest with a monthly allowance of 21 per cent of your income; then housing next of 27 per cent (this includes fuel, utilities, moregage and taxes, repairs and insurance); then clothing of 4.5 per cent; life, medical insurance of 4 per cent; medical bills of 5 per cent; education, dues and periodicals 3 per cent; recreation, gifts, 3.5 per cent; home equi p -ment3prc;hu,caritypesonal care and allowances 3 per cent; car, transportation 9 per cent; income tax, social security 10 per cent; depreciation reserve 2 per cent; other savings (bonds) 3 per cent, to a total of 100 per cent of your income. Now this may be shuffled around to the family needs — and such items as clothing, recreation, gifts—may be left to accumulate over several months' time for something special planned. You will find it very interesting and I am sure profitable. Try it.

Experts tell us that by teaching children to stash away a part of their allowance each week into the piggy bank, the child learns thrift and the habit of doing without, for he doesn't have to have everything he sees. Some day this child will thank his mother for having tan c lit him how to save.

The old family picnics, walks, singing and reading together evenings, instead of the movies two or three times a week, and hanging around the drug store corners with a gang, will give the family a "close-togetherness" that no movie house in our country can give.

It's not that one would be against

S

all of there things, they're good within limits, but there is a tendency to indulge on the part of us all. so, girls, if you feel that your family haS become lax in its spending, it's up to you to start the planned control of the family spending and take inventory of its habits and indulgencies and you just might stumble upon something that has been going on right under your nose that can prove quite a savings for that piggy bank. Keep your fingers crossed—here's wishing you a lot of luck.
