Please keep up the good. work. We are counting on you!

Wednesda April HOW LONG WILL WE LAST? Twenty-five years ago some of our modern chronic pessimists prophesied thot in twenty or twenty-five years hence there would be no Czech' speaking people left in Texas and that there would only be some history and that history would not be very glorious.

We heard that kind of song from some reformers again just, recently arrived from Czechoslovakia who came down from the north and who, after making fun of our ungrammatical Czech: then departed when their chances to wring out any more of our $$ ran dry, with their selling books or other money:a aking schemes which promised wonders for us —castles in the sky.

The predicted, untimely extinction of Our Texan clan has as yet not materialized and their prophesies have come to naught. Some very insistingly planned recently to save us froM this demise until they became ridiculous.

We believe that we will be here in Texas a long time yet if we will just try to keep our individuality and mind our own business. As long as we stick together, united in one group, and not divide ourselves into more groups, we can still cultivate the language of our forefathers, and their beautiful music and national songs. We still have our churches, our fraternal orders, our Czech courses at the university, our Czech newspapers, our local lodges and our halls , our Czech plays, and all we need,- is not see the borders that have been drawn around us. to keep us separated so that we may work together in harmony regardless of our political or religious beliefs. If we rear our Children at hante so that they will have respect for the institutions of our forefathers and show them by our example that we respect these, our own institutions and for the pioneer founders that laid the groundwork for all of these institutions, then I believe we will be here a long, long time and there will also be an honorable history left behind us.

To this end I am willing to work with all of my power.

Taylor Contractor to Build SPJST Rest Horne Out of Our District VII

A Taylor firm, Quebe Construction Company, Wednesday afternoon was awarded the contract for construction of Taylor's SPJST Rest Home for the aged.

Joe Quebe submitted the low bid of $149,150.

Construction will get under way on or about April 1, according to H. W. Marcak of Kenedy, a member of the State SPJST Building Committee. Two hundrde and forty calendar days will be allowed for completion once the job gets under way.

The contractor, Mr. Marcak said, has ,given the committee the assurance he will use local materials and labor, all things being equal.

The building committee opened fifteen sealed bids at the Taylor Chamber of Commerce office Wednesday afternoon. The bids ranged from Mr. 'Quebe's $149,150 on up to $193,432. Contractors from all over Central Texas submitted bids.

Mr. Marcak said there is a possibility four more rooms will be added to the building, to be known as "private rooms" but they were not included in the bids received.

Charter Secured Mr. Marcak also reported that the "SPJST Rest Home Corporation" has received its 50-year non-profit charter to operate the home. The official deed to the Lundell property on East Lake Drive, where the home will be built, was presented to the building committee.

All legal work has now been completed, clearing the way for actual construction of the home.

Austin Stone Instead of brick veneer, the rest home will be constructed of Austin cream stone.

That is the only change in construction plans. The one-story summer-winter air-conditioned rest home will contain 24 single rooms with semi-private baths and eight double rooms with semi private baths. The bedroom wings of the multi-fingered plan radiate from a large central dining and reading room.

A game room, administration offices, and kitchen facilities for the storing, preparation and serving of meals, completes the initial layout of the home which has been designed for a future expansion to double its capacity.

Construction will be of Austin stone and verticle siding on the exterior. The baths, asphalt tile floors, sheetrock walls and ceilings on wood studs produce a

pleasing residential architecture. And -sound absorbing partitions between the rooms provide the privacy of a home.

Building Committee Members of the building committee are Paul Sablatura of Louise, Stephen Valcik of Houston, H. W. Marcak of Kenedy, Judge Henry Schovajsa of La Grange, Otto Stehlik of Wichita Falls, Frank A. Laznovsky of Ennis, and Charles Navratil of Temple.

The Chartei The SPJST Rest Home charter specifies the purpose of the organization: "The purposes for which this corporation is created shall be to provide assistance, charity and relief for aged persons of both sexes by acquisition of land for the construction of appropriate buildings, and by providing the necessary funds for the complete operation, maintenance, extension, and addition of and to such home for the aged; and to provide pemnal and custodial care , incident to old age nad infirmity, in such a manner as to give most comfort, sheltered cave, privacy, emotional stability, and happiness to aged people, such assistance and relief being limited to persons of advanced age not suffering from serious illness at time of admission, and not including medical care and treatment except in the case of minor, temporary illness; and to employ a sufficient number of competent personnel for adequate nursing care, food service, personal, occupational and activity needs of the residents, according to the standards, requirements and goals of first class homes for the aged, however named; and all available voluntary financial contributions and assistance from the public in order to carry out the objectives and purposes herein set forth and more fully outlined in the by-laws of the corporation, which shall operate on a non-profit basis."

Drouth Area Organizer Writes $7,000 in One Week End Here is one for the books. Bro. Charlie Novosad, SPJST organizer in drouthstricken Jourdanton area, who works 6 days a week building houses around Jourdanton, decided to devote last week end to calling on his friends and signed ap three new members for a sum total of $7,000.00 SPJST Life Insurance. If ever there was a farming community that has suffered from the drouth, Jourdanton is it. Not a crop in the last six years. BUT, the good comunity with energetic citizens finds means and ways to overcome financial difficulties and this is how it's done in Jourdanton. The farmers also know other gainful occupations, are busy earning money otherwise and prosperity continues on in this community just the same.

Getting back to Organizer Novosad, I must say he has all the qualifications fcr selling SPJST fratealal insurance, besides his wife is also an excellent helpful companion in this line of work.

They both have made a study of the workings of our insurance plans, they have wonderful personalities, have lots of friends. Charlie was born with SPJST in his blood, a lot of our old active members remember very well that his father is a veteran SPJST member and worker.

We can all be justly proud to have Bro. Charlie Novosad as one of our organizers. I look for him to make the $100,000 Club easily before the next convention. Look for his name among our list of top organizers.

Fraternally yours, Charlie Cerny, District Organizer No. 7 Editor's note: Congratulations, Brother Novosad! ) • 4 • ( Farm and home accidents can be reduced when farm people include in their everyday living a safety consciousness that becomes a part of every job whether on the farm or ranch or in the home.

III. Amend. Article X (or XIV) of the U. S. Constitution, setting forth what rights are reserved to the states.

To get the most support for these amendments, senators and representatives in Congress should be asked to prepare and submit an amendment' particularly affecting their state. All inte •ested congressmen should get tegetiter and a committee should be selected to receive and c pdify all the proposed amendments, then submit these to the Congress for action to get them adopted as amendments to the Constitution, This encroachment by the Supreme Court is like a cancer, spreading out into all phases of our government.

Therefore ;something should be done immediately to stop it.

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OUR MC PLAN INSURANCE

We are recommending our MC Plan of Insurance. This is a combination of our Class C, 20 Pay Life and a decreasing 20 Year Term insurance. This is a one thousand of Class C insurance with every combination from five to ten thousand of the MC plan that we offer as evidenced in the premiums, for ages 20 to 50 inclusive.

This insurance is for the purpose of offering low cost protection, to the insured. It may be bought for the protection of a mortgage loan, business obligations, personal loans or low cost decreasing life insurance.

This class also carries, after three years' membership, cash loan and paidup values.

In other words the insured,. after three years, can terminate for either cash or pair-up values.

The insured can terminate the decreasing term insurance at any time and continue with the $1,000.00 of the Class C until maturity. The insured can terminate the term insurance at any time and keep the $1,000.00 in force and can even terminate that, C insurance at any year, before maturity, and settle for cash of paid-up certificate.

Since we call this Mortgage Cancellation insurance it can be sold for mortgage protection, or business obligations, personal debts. or as low cost decreasing life insurance.

Fraternally yours, Edward L. Marek -)• 4 • ( Brothers and Sisters: - Following are the names of the district organizers: District 1, V. H.

TO ALL OGANIZERS OF DISTRICT 4

Wed.nesday,. April a„ 1957 OFFICE OF VICE-PRESIDENT JOE B. HEJNY

Dear Sisters and Brothers: We present to you, the men on the firing line: Our District Organizers. To these men goes the responsibility of training more organizers, assisting them in their work, to bring in more production—new business, the life blood of any business or organization. These men spend many hours of studying, training and planning, in order that they will be in position to better assist their fellow workers and members, to enable themselves to be better youth leaders, to promote harmony and cooperation among our lodges and. fellow members, it's a constant daily„Iprocess with them, their work is never finished, hours of desk study and more hours in the field among other organizers. Theirs is not an easy task; how well I know, because I went through a similar grind in 1955 and 1956. The pride of achievement and the satisfaction of a job well done is the greater part of their pay.

They make sure families are protected, that young folks go to cellege because they insisted that some father bought an educational plan for his children, that old folks may live in security, because they sold them a retirement plan, that some families may continue living a, normal life because they helped to protect the income of the family by selling life insurance to the provider.

Their job is tough and vital to you and all your friends, they must always be thinking about the welfare of other families, as well as of their own. These men pledged themselves to give all the time and effort that will be requested of them to fulfill these places of District Organizer, therefore I plead to all local lodge organizers, officers and members to cooperates with and assist them in their work whenever possible; teamwork will do it.

How true the old saying is: United we stand. Divided we fall. Let us all join together and we will have a team of which we all will be proud.

Bro. Cyril Pokladnik submitted a , letter which appeared in Iast week's Vestnik in the Czech section, listing the cash donations and food and article contributions for the booth and giving the total of the amount donated for our SPJST Rest Home. I will not list each separately at this time, however, I would like to state again the total came to $2,275.20, and includes proceeds from the play and dance. Once again, we are all grateful to all who participated in this worthy project from the contributors to the ones who made their appearances.

Our next meeting will be held Sunday, April 21. The same night there will be a dance, the first in quite a good while. This is a good way to spend Easter Sunday. By the way, the tmeeting' will be held in both the Czech end English languages.

Floresville, Texas Dear Vestnik Readers: Just a few lines to let you Fall know we will have an. Easter egg" hunt for our little members in our next meeting which will be April 14, just one week before Easter. Also we will have lunch and refreshments. Our sisters are asked to bring a little of something good to eat.

Our last meeting was well attended; it was indeed gratifying to see all of you there, so let's try to have all our meetings well attended now and more interesting for everyone.

Hope to see lots of little ones at the Easter egg hunt next meeting.

Fraternally yours, trlia Va.clavik, Reporter ) 4 LODGE NO. 24 Rogers, Texas Dear Sisters and Brothers: Just a few lines to say that our district meeting went over fine.

Our program committee would like to take this means to thank the lodges in this district who contributed numbers to our program and helped us out. For our youth who took part in the program—thanks! We do hope it was enjoyed by all.

We would also like to thank our sisters for their contribution of the fine food. Proceeds taken on the food will go, toward a new stove for our lodge hall kitchen.

May we remind our lodge members that our regular meeting will be the first Sunday of April, the 7th, I do believe.

Wednesday, April 3, 1967 A 42 party will, be sponsored by the Lodge No. 24 sisters on Sunday night, April 7, at 7:00 o'clock. There will be a small admission charge—the proceeds from which will also go on the new kitchen stove fund for our lodge hall.

Come on over and enjoy an evening of 42 with your friends. Still better, bring along a couple of friends. If any of you have a card table and dominoes, please bring them with you. Refreshments will be served afterwards.

Thrall, Texas Dear Members, I would like to take this opportunity to let all of you who were not at our last meeting, know about the annual Easter egg hunt to be held at our April 7 meeting. (In case of rain it will be on the second Sunday.)

We would truly like to have all of you come and especially to bring the children. Some of the children are getting the idea they are too old for egg hunting at ten, but do be present! We need you all.

There will be games for the young people and a lunch will be served by our good ladies.

The meetings are quite important at present, so let's all come out and have a good get together.

Fraternally yours, Mrs_ Lamle Shiner A, • LODGE NO. 47 Dear Friends: Just a reminder that our next lodge meeting will be on April 7 and at this meeting we are going to have our Easter egg hunt for the youngsters.

We are asking the ladies to bring any sweets they would like, and the lodge will furnish the sandwiches, pickles and coffee.

All children and their parents are invited to Conic.

I want to thank the children who took part in our District 2 meeting at Lodge No. 24, last Sunday, you all did swell, and I am sure everybody enjoyed the program.

I would like to mention two FFA members from Rogers for there winning at the Houston Stock Show.

Dean Mikeska placed in the blue ribbon class. He was fourth place blue ribbon winner out of 44 with his Dairy

ITESTN1K — WEST, TEXAS Jersey heifer,.

Clifibrd Hoelcher placed in the red ribbon class with his Jersey Dairy heifer, also, Dean is a, member of Lodge No. 47 and Clifford Lodge No. 24.

We have a lot of winners in our 4H Club demonstration, such as dairy foods, public speaking. Share the fun, a good number of these youngsters are SPJST members and some of them are going to district for elimination there and then to the state contest.

Our agents are doing a wonderful work, with the help of adult leaders in the 4 H and FFA and certainly it is a pleasure to work with them.

I won't attempt to name these children as it is quite a number.

We have had some more rain tonight, I imagine it will be a busy time for farmers when it dries up and its about time to have the grain and corn planted.

I guess this is all for this time, and all you members, we will be looking for you for our "Easter e gg' hunt Sunday April 7.

Citizen's One of these cb‘ yt.—Perhaps soon — you may get a notice telling you to report for jury duty—and to "fail not."

In serving, you share one of the most solemn duties known to our democracy.

Some people try to get out of jury service. It may be inconvenient or unpleasant. Yet, When you are put on a jury you should think of this as a chance Ito help make good one of the -promises of our Constitution—trial by j ury. Say the following to yourself: "My forefathers wrested Joy right to serve as a juror from tyrants.

"Under our law no one's life, liberty, or property can be taken wittibut due process of lay.

"Trial by uy is our basic right. All who seek their day in court should have a fair hearing. They will get it from me: "I will not ask to be excused from jury service except in an emergency.

"On my oath I will well and truly try each case before me, and a true verdict render under the law given me by the judge and the etidence introduced. at the trial—without fear, favor, or hope of reward.

"I will listen closely, with open mind to all of the testimony, instructions, and arguments. I will not make up my mind until all the facts are in and the judge has instructed the jury on the law.

"I will search for the truth regard-. less of wealth or poverty, friendship or enmity, of any party or witnesses.

"To someone my decision may mean the difference between freedom- or imprisonment, poverty or wealth.

"Justice, once but a dream, is a reality when I, as a juror, do my full duty.

No act of mine shall bring shame to our system of liberty under law."

(This column, prepared by the State 13ar 'of Texas, i.s written to inform—not to advise. No person should ever apply or interpret any law without the aid of an attorney who is fully. con, cerning the facts involved, because a slight variance in facts may change the applleatjui of the law.) ( e 64 VOICE OF EXPERIENCE The visitor to the mountain region, finding an ancient cabin with an equally ancient character taking his ease on the rickety porch, was asked to sit awhile an' rest his bones. He accepted the offered rocker gratefully. The old roan wordlessly puffed his pipe. Finall he broke the silence. "Stranger," he said, "Yore sure a-wasnan' yourself out, Why you rock with the grain?"

record pointing to the e nresei ice of Croatians in the New World. . Hawk, in The History of North •ina, observed that Indians or the Spoke of the certain tribe as Hat era' Indians or Croatoan Indians as the English knew them.

Hamilton McMillan in 1880, wrote that . "theSe Indians had traditions of vessels wrecked in the past times.

" inch Of this is ' corroborated in the record of an exploration made by JOhn I.vson - in 1709. He noted that . who lived on Roanoke: Island, 'or who much frequented that-locality, tell us that several of their ancestors were White people and could talk In book as we do. The truth of this is confirmed by grey eyes frequently. found among the Indians."

There are records ' preserved in thk4 archives of the historical city of Dubrovnik, known in history as Ragusa, in YugoslaVia; which show that about 1540 a fleet of sailing ships left the Republic. : of -Dubrovnik bound for America.

American historian Lawson concurs that "a wreck of a ship was found there (Roanoke Island) about 20 years before the arrival of the colonists. In describing the wreck in 1558 it was stated "Some of the crew were saved."

Vlahovic stated to me another fac-tor: "The oldest known grapevine in AMerica ('still producingdelicious fruit) is , lo..ated ors. the island close to the spot where the "Lost Colony" is believed to have larded. Governor White. noted that this grapevine was bearing abundant fruit in 1590 which supports my contention; that those preceding the Colonists could have beeh Croatians."

Vlahovie :further states: "Transplanting grapevines is a custom with Dubrevinkfan and Dalmation navigators."

Health Every family can take steps to insure boiler physical and mental health in 1957, according to Mrs. Eloise Johnson, extension family life specialist. It will mean financial savings as well as happier living.

The specialist suggests seven important factors to check: good nutrition, sanitation, regular health examinations, . immunization, exercise, rest and recreation, an adequate home health center, and a means of achieving the state of radiant health, which is the result, of complete physical, social and mental An accepted guide for good nutrition: is the Texas. Food Standard. Family attitudes toward food and pleasant meal time atmosphere are as important as kind and amount of food eaten:-., Sanitation includes a healthful. wa ter supply, safe sewage and garbage disposal, cleanliness around the barn and home as well as clean milk free from bacteria.

Regular health examinations for mother and father as well as the children are one of the most important steps in improving family health. The family physician can advise about immunization against contagious and infectious diseases.

Exercise, rest and recreation is a fifth step. The important thing is to build toward a family attitude which considers rest and recreation as essential. to good health and not a waste of time or evidence of laziness.

The sixth step is the maintenance of an adequate home health center. Every family should have supplies ., equipment and medicine for the minor illnesses and emergencies that must be cared for at home.

Many physical and mental ailments are rooted in worry, fear and concern.

The seventh step toward achieving a state of radiant health involves "talking out" problems as a family, to give assurance and a sense of security -to each family member. ) ea, Added Color "Did Pat give you that black eye?"

Piedstavuje si tu Prahu jako nejake mesto z pohadky. Kdo hubu ma, kaZdy ji velebi a chvalou zrovna zahrnuje. Proc by on — Skrivamek — nesmel ji videt?

Nejen mnoho o ni slyAel, ale je gte vice i Ceti. V kalendarich mei jeji obrazky, a kostelich, divadle, zatalcich a paidcich pra2skYch zdavalo se mu ted' i v noci.
