Cizinci do Cech zavitavsi se divili dtikla,dne znalosti bible i mezi prostYmi lidmi.

Neni presne znamo, kdy pr yni rueni lis zrizen byl ve stare naM clomovine kdo byl prvnim eeskYm knihtiskarem, ay Sak za nejstarSi eeskY prvotisk poklacla se "Kronika Trojansica", preklad dila Guido della Colonna, kterY yytfSten byl Plzni roku 1468, tedy ji2 za 16 let Po vydani Gutenbergovy bible v Mohuei roce 1452, povaZovane za svetovY prvotisk.

JA,K ZACHOVAL SE PAMON PLACFIY 13ylo to roku 1611, kdy v eeskSTch Buclejovicich, koncein masopustu — jako cbycejne v gude bylo velmi veselo a hlueno, Ritz-fie ma gkary obiyovaly velke namesti, na v gech etyrech stranaoh oprene podloubim a ublvajice rozpustileho prava masopustu, tropily hluk, jen easto vyboeoval z mezi slu gnosti. Drabove mesta i ponocnY v tet odobe primhourili obeoci, aby nepokazili radost jak chase, tak i megt'antim, kteri se do veseleho davu Bylo vgechno v nejlep gi nalade a yeselosti, kdyb pojednon od Linecke brany pricva,lal jezdec, zastavil na namesti a jsa veskrz propocen, hlasite zvolal: "Sousede rychle prye s vakm masopustnim mumrajem, chopte se zbrani obsad'te brany. Pasovci jedou za mnou a v kratkern ease budou zde. Mesto Trebori zradou jim padlo do rukou, a snad i Krumlov, odkud prave jedu s varovanim. Tlupa Pasovsk'ch prondsledovala rune ask njezdu."

Kdyb domluvil, sestoupil s kone a rad prijal kaligek viva na obeerstveni, a pak mestskemu pisati 8imonu Plachemu z Trebenic, jen sera rychle ptikvapil, poCal zevrubne vypraveti, jak padla Ttebon, a to takovYm zptisobem, ze v gichni naslouchajici byli jako primrazeni tou to nenaddlou zvesti. A ygak po chvili zvitezila ostrabitost; kabclY ihned special dornt a prines1 nejakou yYzbroj o nil v tehdejsi dobe nebyla nouze. V gichni svolani kongele spechali ihned do radnice a bdelY pisat Simon naridil vgechny bra,ny mesta lined uzayrit a dobre obsadit, aby mesto bylo uliajeno proti postupujielm PasovskYrn. Vgichni jak chasa, tak i megt'ane, svlekli se ze sveho magkarniho obleku a chopili se mugket, halaparten i meet a zaujali sva, mista. OpatrnY pisaf. pan Simon nezapomnel ani na dikladne obsazeni brany Prabske, aekoliv se zdalo, be z teto strany nehrozi mestu velke nebez• peel.. Ale Paso yskYm nelze verit; napomenuv mubstvo v brane, promluvil k gedivemu jiZ hlasnemu Ka.eerovi: "Jen pozor a vezmi sve oei do hrsti, mohou zde bYti kabdou chvili. Pan vla,dar na Tteborii jib tace pyka za svoji dtveru a KrumlovskYm se take 16pe nevede."

"Budib,- vzacnY pane, bez starosti, na stareho-Kaeera, ti lotri nevyzraji a paldi prijdou, tak si o nage tvrcle zdi hlavy rozbiji. Trebon a Krumlov nejsou Budejovice, na ge houfnice lim r ychle ukabi cestu zpet."

mile spozoruje g nejrnien giho nebezpeej.

Jen bud' opatrnYm!" A pan Simon ocispecial.

"PraSivci jsou, tihle Pasovaci," huboval start' hlasnY po odchodu pana pisare, a jak by ne, kdyb mu pokazili cele estatky s milYm posezenim "U eerneho vola." "Vezmi je eert ale ted', start hochu oei do hrsti, aby se nereklo, be star' KaCer se Lib k nieemu nehodi." a zastiniv si o(d, pohlibel do veeerni zimni krajiny k prabske silnici.

Po mrazive noci, jeb klidne uplynula, nebot' se nic podezreleho nenkazalo, nastal smutnY mlhavY den 31. ledna 1611, Ztebke, jakoby olovenYm zavesem potabene oblaky, padal huste snih a gediva mlha poloZila se na mesto a okoli. A kdyb k polednirnu ponekud mlha protidla, ubash megt'ane od Prabske brany spattili nevidane divadlo. Kam jen oko dohledlo eernaly se sbory ciziho vojska, radici se v roty, kdyb teku Vltavu u 6tyk Dvorti prekrodily, a v neseetnYch proudech pro ti prikoptim u Pralske brany se rozlo2ily.

Megt'ane, cell ustra geni, nemalou hra sou pohlizeli na obavaneho nepiitele, o jehob radeni se jiZ tolik dovedeli a pti tom smutne vrteli hlavami phi domluvach pane SimonovYch, jenb byl v gude einnYm a netnavnYm, aby je stateene vytrvali, be je gte neni nejhtire. 0 tyto hradby ttigtily se vgechny fitoky. Robmberba i samotneho Jana ibky z Trocnova. Lid jej mleky a zasmu gen poslouchal, ale nekladl velke dfivery ve sve viterstvi a uhajeni mesta proti neptiteli.

Bylo k polednimu, kdyb se u brany objcvil dilstojnik, badaje jmenern Jeho IVIilosti Cisate Rudolfa, aby jeho vojsko bylo vpueleno do mesta. Nato mu pan Simon jmenem mestske rady odPovedel, ze mu neni nieeho znamo, be by Jeho Cisatska, Milost nejake vojsko do "dech vyslala. Cizi dAstojnik poeal zle latetit, dodavaje, ze jeho general pan Lorene Ram& je od cisafe, listem kadne opatfen at' tedy se brany mesta bez me gkani otevrou a lid bez vahani vojsko Avgak k tome se opatrni otcove mesta tak rychle a beze vsi zaruky piece jen nemohli odhodlat A tak se dfistojnik musil spokojiti s odpovedi, ze spolehliveho eloveka vyglou do leZeni, aby se o pravdivosti pravodniho listu picesvedeil a potom teprve ze bude brana otevhena.

Diistojnik poeal klit a hrozit cisatoyou nemilosti, ale koneene se podrobil li megt'ant. A tak pan Simon, navzdor "No, dej to BUY"; ostatne myslim, ze na prosbam sve manbelky, odebral se malou 'Leto stran y sotva se ukaZou.

"OdpustiZ, pane generale, ale easy jsou zle a nejiste. A my nezname v semi jine zbrojni moci, kronie one, kterou pani sta vove poridili. Raeib se tudib prokazati reversem Jeho Cisarske Milmti a ja jej predlobim primasovi, jenZ dalsi natidi."

-Pane, povab, be ru gig zeinskY ruin," i vaZil se odpovecieti pisat.

"Nemam ceho uvabovati," pralce odvett general. '"Poroueim, abyste bez odkladu mesta vydali. Ci opravdu myslig, ty gkrabaku, be jsem ty tisice vojakii sem jen proto, abych jim ultazal vase hradby?

Pan Simon se zamyslil, tak aspori se zdalo pasovskemu generalu.

"Nube, jak jsi se rozhodl?"

"Ano," rekl pisat pevnYm hiasem, aekoliv W,71 bled' jako smrt, "Tak pristim tedy ke hradbam a zavolej tam na svoje soudruhy, aby bez pru tahu mne odevzdali kliee mesta.

"Slygel," tekl Simon temne.

Paid Up Policyholders Notice There seems to be some misinterpretation of the convention ruling that all paid up policy holders are entitle to the Vestnik.

In this case the "paid up" refers to those policy holders who carried their policies to MATURITY and are now paid up policy holders of a 10, 15, or 20 year policy.

Those who did not carry their insurance policy to maturity and received a paid up policy for that portion of the policy value it represented at that time ARE NOT entitled to the Vestnik. Before writing to headquarters for your Vestnik, please be sure that you are a Paid Up By Maturity policy holder with our SPJST.

FROM Dear Brothers and Sisters So we went to Hallettsville, your editor' alai hi, spouse, to visit with District Six. Highway 77 took us through some very beautiful country, with the many visibly new stock tanks overflowing with flesh, water and the terraces in many places still carrying the recent rain. Everything was a tender green and the dairy 'cattle were lazily resting and munching their cud. Ecpecially romantic ,is the section known rasp the Swis Alps - on through from La Grange and, then into schulenburg. The huge oak trees with their Spanish Moss only added to the romance of the country.

Thee Bluebonnets are in full bloom and they ,are beautiful. Also blooming in that part of the country is the popies, huge reds and pinks, sweet peas, Amarylli s , and the lovely Paul Scarlets add their dash of red to the pleasant atmosphere, as well as other roses. Our friends and hosts the F. K. Bucek's are both avid gardners and their garden was a sight to behold. They both, seem to have "green thumbs."

The Meeting, of th district 6 was held in the community Recreation Hall in Hallettsville. Everything was in readiness for the Meeting and one barely had time tto shake the hand of a few sisters th a t had already found seats and the president Bucek of the Hallettsville Lodge was calling us all to order over the "mike."

The meeting was turned over to the District Six President, brother Chas.

Holy at 1:30 p. m. as per schedule. Roll call revealed a goodly ,attendance and there were 20 organizers in that District also present. Brother Ig. Senkyrik is the District Organizer, and he really had his men well represented. — The big - hall was "overflowing".

The speaker of the day was not present so the various officers and visiting brOtherhood had a chance to greet the assembly.

Sister- Grones was the chairman of the program which began shortly. The local reporter, Sister Fabian, whom I had the pleasure of meeting personal-

THE EDITOR'S DESK

ly, promises to send in a full report of the program in her letter with names of the participating Youth, so I shall omit same.

A lovely group of young folks rendered some lovely songs in Czech. Skrivanek, and "Ciganko Ty krasna." What made this doubly interesting is, that two of- the girls didn't speak Czech and learned the Czech words, so that they could sing with the group. The boys voices blended in very nicely. Thank you for your renditions. They represented the lodge from Moravia.

The Easter number with the Johnnie Cottontail was also outstanding.

Also, Miss Minnie Pearl and Grandpa Jones were tops. Miss Minnie in her toothless smile told us real neighborly like what a time she is, having snaring herself a man, while Grandpa Jones had things on his mind too. The two of them finally got "Too Old To Cut The Mustard- Anymore," which everybody loved.

Brother President called the attention to the fact that District Six had lost a lot of members lately and requested a minute's silent prayer for them.

Brother Joe Hejny from the Supreme Lodge reminded us, that the future success of our fraternal order will take the assistance and work of us all. "We have a good 'organization and we all believe this, so, the work will go forward — it will be pleasant work. It is worth a lot to us all when we can get together and enjoy each other's company as good fraternalists. If it were not for these meetings, I probably would never have got to Hallettsville. I think your Youth did a- wonderful job. To you Youth here, THANKS you did a wonderful job — which also goes to the mothers here.

better citizens of these United States.

He further pointed out: "Should you lose your father, this insurance provides the family living, your home and your education." He stressed thistine of thinking on the District Six youth in relation to insurance.

Brother Senkyrik, the District Six Organizer thanked the gathering for coming. "It is delightful to see such a good crowd," he continued. "In the twentyfive years that I have ridden over this 'Texas', I have seen much. I have seen the difference between an insured brother who dies and a person whi carried no insurance — the suffering and need his family faces. It is notlpleasant. There is the difference in family status as Day is to Night.

"Brothers and sisters, it is a honor for Lavaca County and Fayette County that we are gathered here today, for this is the place where the SPJST, of Texas got its start. It was the year 1897 that talk of starting this organization started here and it was one Sunday a group gathered to plan out the details and the following Sunday in La Grange the SPJST fraternal lodge was organized. Brother John and Barbora Bucek of Komensky were the first hosts to the little group of planners who held their meeting in their home.

President Holy asked for the oldest member in the gathering which proved to be Sister Valenta of Moulton, Texas of 86 years. She has been a charter member in the SPJST having been a member 60 years. Congratulation. Two new silver dollars were placed in her hands with our love, admiration and, gratitude.

Cheryl Ann Trlica, five week old mew ber, was of course the youngest and her "Piggy Bank" was enriched by two new silver dollars. Brother John Sralla, 81,- years, was the oldest brother at, the Meeting. Sister Frances Klapuch residing at Taft now, was the farthest traveler and' she too. received the two silver dollars. Congratulations to you

Brother Hejny continues addressing the Youth: "When you belong to the SPJST, you belong to an organization that provides more than just insurance.

We know that you can buy insurance any place but we also know that our competitors will not provide these gatherings, these opportunities where we can get together provides friendship Brother Sablatura, president on the and activities. To know each other, your SPJST Rest Home board spoke next to neighbors and friends We will become the gathering. The contract has been

Wednesday, April 17 1957 let and work of laying the foundation has actually started. "We took lot of pain to work out the plans in their entirety," he said. "Air conditiong, central heating and all conveniences are planned. It will cost us $150,000 for the building alone , including all the things that belong in a building, but that does NOT include the room furnishings, kitchen and storage complete, dining room furniture." He further explains: "One single room with a bed, mattress, chest cabinet cost $285, with bedclothing and pillows and blakets $300; The double rooms will cost almost twice that amount. We need your Cooperation to see this through."

Then Brother Chas. Navratil, a Director and Treasurer in the Rest Home added further information: "The building has started — the foundation is being poured. We have a very beautiful place.

Actually we will need close to $200,000 to build and furnish it completely." He states — "It will be the most beautiful home in the state of Texas and it will not be "just a building." "We really want the old folks to be comfortable.

Let's build something for ourselves that will remain behind us as our monument to us."

Brother Navratil explains about the notices and requests for contributions that were sent to the lodges" — they were meant for the lodge and not to the individual — however, if the individual wants to contribute, we shall be very grateful," he says. Brother Navratil points out: "All gifts should be sent to the Treasurer of the SPJST Rest Home, who in this case is Brother Navratil !himself. 816 East Avenue "A", Temple, Texas, who will acknowledge each receipt of the gift.

"We have put the monies into three different accounts at the bank: 1. The SPJST Rest Home.

2. Rest Home Furnishings.

3. Moucka's Fund.

So, it is very necessary that everyone should indicate to which of these accounts their respective contributions should be credited."

In referring to the ungrateful task of trying to please some doners he commented, "I received two such very nice letters recently that I could hardly sleep a night for them." Some of our members really do try to be brotherly.

Brother Navratil, most of the membership understands your good intentions and is grateful to you for assuming this responsibility, so please know that most of us are with you.

The Lodge Sweet Home has, invited the next District Six Meeting — and in order to get first consideration on the calendar, immediately designated the

TPST Ni T7 — first Sunday (October 6th) in October as the date.

It was pointed out that many, many visitors would like to visit the various District Meetings as well as the Supreme Officers but that when there are two or three celebrations going on at the same time, that they have to divide up and don't get to see all of the Districts as they have to divide up and don't get to see all of the Districts as they should like, then too, the crowds are not as large as they could be, otherwise.

Sister Bessie Foit of Moulton Lodge, our Reporter it sure was nice seeing you again!

We also have enjoyed to see our Director of District VI. Brother Frank Rod from El Campo, Brother District Organizer V. Barina of District I., Brother F. Miculka, Brother E. Hajovsky the Secretary of District VI., and so many, many other good friends, too numerous to mentioned them all. — Be assured that it was a real pleasure to be with you even for such a short time.

As your editor and wife bucked the Sunday traffic toward West, just out of Waco, we could see the "Linden Hall" of Lodge 66, all lit up in celebration of their enlarged and beautiful enlarged quarters at Elm Mott. — We sincerely hope, that their celebration was a huge success. — • We both were so sorry that we could not attend.

In closing, many thanks to all for the very encouraging and nice things you all said about your Vestnik as to its contents and the manner of arrangement of the different sections. This gives us ooth new encouragement. — We repeat that we welcome each and every contributor to the Czech or English section of our Vestnik from our lodges, gardening or cooking Maminka's and our friendly youth group.

Thanks again, Your Editor's wife.

WEST, TEXAS

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES LODGE SAN ANTONIO NO. 133 Sisters and Brothers: The fortieth anniversary celebration of Lodge San Antonio No. 133 was a success, thanks to the weather, which was not cold, not hot—just right; thanks too, to our executive and entertainment committees, together with the folks gathered from distant parts of Texas to help make this event most memorable. For it not only was, celebration but an occasion also to raise funds for the benefit of our rest home for the aged in Taylor.

The Mission County Park, one of the prettiest parks in the vicinity, was an ideal spot for such an occurrence. Despite warnings against holding our celebration during Lent, and the possibility of April showers, it was a chance we took because April 3 was the onlydate given us to use the park. We are grateful to all our friends for helping us celebrate the lodge's anniversary and make it a success.

Among our friends present from distant lodges were first, Brother Edw. Marek from Grand Lodge, Temple, who made a fine commemorative speech, hoping the lodge will continue to progress more and more as the months and years go by. From the most distant lodge came Brother and Sister Hugo Sefcik and Brother and Sister Anton Kos, Dallas Lodge No. 130. From Taylor Lodge No. 29, Brother and Sister Jan Svadlenak and Sister Ruby and Brother Ed Holly; Brothers and Sisters Jan Stasa, and Chas. Holasek from Lodge No. 56, Corpus Christi; Sister Mary and Brother Victor Veroda, Lodge No. 26, Skidmore; Sister Mary McCloskey and a few other members from Floresville Lodge No. 107; a few members from Jourdanton whose names I can't recall, for which I ask forgiveness. Be it known however, that all you good folks present from lodges given above have our sincere thanks for coming.

Among the charter members present were Brother Anton Kos, who with his charming wife made a special effort to be here to meet old friends and new; Brother and Sister F. Maly, to whom credit is given for their loyalty and service to the lodge; Brother Ed Valicek, and Sister Aneska Dressler.

We were happy and grateful for the visit of our old friends, Brother and Mrs. Emil Miculka of Floresville. Honor dry president of District 7, Brother Miculka's thoughts were, for some time, to be able to come to ouzo celebration.

Not only a witty statement but very true. He made his speech short since "Talk is cheap because the supply always exceeds the demand."

We enjoyed these short speeches made by these three men. They have a lot of wisdom and good advice to give to our members.

April is a busy month in our Birthday Club. We sang Happy Birthday to the following members: Edwin Narovec, Roman Parma Jr., Hetty Louise Mattis, Edwin Poilei, Eddie Cervenka, Mrs. Miller, Douglas Teasley and Alvin Sibik.

After the meeting was over, the members all enjoyed a wonderful lunch and the afternoon was devoted to fellowship. Some members played games, others just talked with their friends. The young people were entertained. by an Easter egg hunt. The members who were hearty enough to last out the afternoon also ate supper at the lodge. v-uald like to put in a personal word 01 'LilL',nks to the two ladies who worked so y nry hard to make this day a success, Sisters Rose and Libby Parma.

Starring on the mound was Jim Scoggins, our pitcher, who hurled a 1 hitter and struck out 11 batters. Only three batters got on base, 1 as a result of catcher's interference, 1 on an error and the one batter who hit safely. The team as a whole played gaod ball afield as only 1 error was committed. This was a good performance considering that this was the first game of the yet infant season. Wilbur Munger caught a very good game behind the plate.

Leading hitters for our team were Bill Robbins and Raymond 1V1;arek with 2 hits and Teo Dusek, James Wortman and Jerry Kutil getting one hit apiece.

A total of 16 walks were issued by the Jones-Blair team pitchers which contributed to our scoring as many runs as we did.

Following is our tenative Team roster for 1957. Jim Scoggins, Raymond Smith, Frank Mach, Wilbur Munger, Adolph Janecka, Ted Dusek, Jr., J. Daryl Griser, Albin (Beno) Vrana, Harold Huggins, James Wortman, Henry Miller, Jerry Kutil, Dave Wier, Joe Jarolik, Bill Robbins, Raymond Marek, Raymond Vrana, possibly Jack Moffett and Ben Jarnia , team manager and Joe Ondrusek equipment handler.

A PATIENT'S TESTIMONY' About two years ago I came to Dr. Albert IL Broden N. D. of Hallettsville, as his patient after -I heard so much of hint with a nearly paralized left hip. My leg was swolen and I had to use a stick to lean on. He cured me and never did I had an ache or a pain since., I weighed nearly 320 lbs. and I lost 120 lbs. I kept tip normal weight up to this writing and never took another treatment.

Several months ago I had a severe heart attack. Dr. Broden was in Europe than and I had two months of shots, but by the end of the two months I was worse, than when I began. I was hoping Dr. Broden would return and take care of me or I would not live long. I could not work. Laying most of the time in bed. One,, day a friend of mine said Ed, you know your Docter Broden is back in Hallettsville? As soon as I heard that.

I made a point to go to Hallettsville. I got about four treatments and my pain in my heart left me and I got strong again. After ten treatments, I went to work and at this writing I am doing the plowing as though I never was sick a day. I feel better than I have in years.

I hope every one who suffers with heart or any other, sickness will believe me as I have no other desire than to help my fellowman.

Dr. Broden's address is P. 0. Box 113, Hallettsville, Texas.

Sincerely I remain Ed. Branscky Flatonia, Rt. 1, Box 85, Texas PANIMMISIM.MMINAIMME!
