--ico dvoru jiti. .7— Kral acterS( se ji2 obaval, g e se mu nejlepkiho jidla k hosting nedostane, mel velkou radost kdyi se rybat rano s tak peknymi rybami prihnal a propustil ho s dobrYm vYdelkem , Rybat pak, chteje iene sVe take jednou • radott udelat, koupil ji n a peknou sukni s kterou ji neural° prekvapil.

"Ze jsi na mne tak laskave pamatoval, musim i ja to nedirn potegit." tekla rybatka, sukni prohlitejic, naee2 mugi vyjevila, ze se davnolete ptani jeji vypi nilo. Ale nezaradoval .se rybat nad tim tak, jak se Jena jeho domnivala; vzporn nel si na veerejei den, a poznal teprve nyni co eernY na nem vymanil. By veak nebohou matku nezarmoutil, nechtel se ani slovem o torn zminiti a ptemahaje se, smutek v srdci ukryl.

V kratce ubehl ureenk as a rubalta porodila syna. Kluelk byl tak rortomilY, ze se i rybat nad nim zaradoval a na svaj smutek ponekud za,pomnel. I -netrvalo to dlouhou, vYrUstek chodil s otcem k moti a sbiraval pekne muele, ktere na brehu lezely. Kdy2 byl vetei, ponadhal plest site a ji g se mu i kolikrate pogtestilo, to sam wadi matce obstaral.

Tak ubehlo dvakrat sedin let, a ry4tt to ani nepozoroval. V same radosti nad eipernYm synem pozapomnel na ter neho hosta. Vgak ten naproti tomu nebyl tak zapomenlivY, Jednou rano volala rybakka syna k snidani, ale darmo. Mysli, de se pustil na lov, i pta se otce; net ten take o nem nevi. Vybehne tedy Yea, by se po nem Ohlidla, daleko eiroko veak neni o nem ani zminky. Tu tepr y ptipadne otci na nrysl tern'; ten beduje, a sam sobe lepei pozor na hocha nedal a s bolesti velikou vypravuje 2ene smutnou pkihodu. Ubozi rodidave vedou nakek, ale syna se vyce nedovolaji, za nej2 jim oern3i velkk pytel zlata do chalupy Nepohrdli nim, ac vedeli, Fe by to byla. gpatna nahrada za mllene dite.

Daleko a daleko od rybatske chalou 'pky byl pod zemi ziatk tamek, v nemg" zaklena princezna bydlela. Ona, byla nadmiru krasna, ale Cern y jako uhel.

Jedenkrate pry ji spattil jeden mochY earodejnik, kicrY se do ni zamilo Val; ona ho ale oclbyla, zacle2 ji tento Zaklel, by sc v mouteninku promenila a tou tak dlouho grata,la, dokud by si ji mladik tak nezamiloval, aby z lasky k ni domov opustil a vgelijake nesnaze str--pel. To by jeSte nebylo bYvalo tak .• ke, jen kdyby ji i s jinS7mi lidmi do pod zemniho kraje nebyl zaklel. Co si tam mela poCiti? Kdo ji mel tamodtud vysvobodit?

Jednoho dne chodila po z ahrade a plakala; tu se k ni pritaloupi malt' tr

paslik a pta se ji, woe place. Princezna se zastavila a hledela uptene na podivneho mu giaka; to se ji ale tak ptivetive ptal, povedela ma svou nehodu, "Jen si proto tak nenarikej," pravil, kdyF veecko vyslechl. "Jedna-li se to jen o mlaclika, o toho se ti gain postaram. Cat ale, nebude g -li se mu libit a on tu nebude chtit ztistat?"

"Pak mne nebude 26.dne pomoci a ja, se upokojim."

"Aj, pak si vezme g mne?"

"Tette?" tekla princezna, usmesne na mugieka dolfr hledic.

"Nu, cogpak jsem ti tak k smichu?"

Princezna bojic se, by si trpaslika nerozhnevala a tak jedinkou nadeji sveho vysvobozeni od sebe neodstreila, vlicine mu odpovedela: "Jestli sem mladika ptivede g a nikdy se ke nine dotirave chovat nebudee, at' si delam co chci, tedy ti slibuji, nebude-li chtit mladik tady zustat ani g me milovat, de si tebe pak vezmu." Trpaslik, takto udobten, vSecko princezne ptislibil a pak odegel.

I byl to ten Cerny, co rybafe onia mil. Vime tedy, jak dlouho musela princezna &kat. Ji se to ale nezdalo tak dlouho: pod zemi leta rychleji ubihala a ona, ztistala vFdy mlada.

Jednoho dne zjevil se *et trpaslik, pripoved' svou vypinil a mladika ji ptivedl. On ho neyzal mod, ale lakal ho tak dlouho, ad s nim hoch dobrovolne odeeel.. Radovidovi (tak se jmenoval rybattiv syn, proto ge ho radicle radi videli) se to v slatem ku libilo Bylo tu yeecko tak, jako na semi; jedine more mu chybelo.

Zamek byl z ryziho zlata, krasne okraglen, tab, Fe kdyF sluneeko (ktere take tam vychazelo, jenFe kdyF byla na semi not, tam byl den, a tak naopak ) nad nim svitilo, Fadroi na nej pro blesk ani pohlidnout nemohl.

Kam jen pohlidl, bylo vSe krasne; delat ncmuscl Mc; chtel li co, lined se mu to udelalo. Cod divu, tedy, 2c po domovu netoukl. Vs pomnel si ovSein east° na matku i na otce; ale sotva Fe to na, nem princesna, ktera vkly okolo neho byla, zpozo rovala, hned se v'Semane pfieinila, by jej vyrazila. Ona mu zpivala libe pisne ona ho vodila po zahrade, povidala mu vAelijake pfibehy, talde se s nim ani matka tak neobirala, anid ho vice neg ona milovati mohla. Av gak i Radovid ji navzdor jeji eernote velice mi loyal. Tak mu tedy o same rozkok le-

to ugly, Fe ani nevedel, kam se podely. Jedine to citil, de princeznu vgdy vice a vice miluje a bez ni Fiv byti nemfie. A tak mijely dnove v same radosti, Jednou pozorovala princezna na milencoye tvail temne nudely; i ptala se ho, co to znamend. A on ji tekl.

"Ty vie, jak to miluji, a proto mne prosbu mou odpusti g. JedinY syn myth rodien, byl jsem od nich nadmiru miloyan; ja si nikdy neptedlo211, co to pro ne za ztratu bYti muselo, kdyF jsem se od nich vzdalil.

Potom se navgdy k tobe vratim." — Nernile bylo p rincezne to slyeet , ale nemohla prgsbu jeho oslygeti, chtela-li, by se vgecky vYminky jejiho vysvobozeni vypinily.

FROM THE 7, Let's

Fraternalism.

The whole civilived world is now in urgent need of the very thing we advocate, Fraternalism.

As a nation we , with other leading nations, have hale great strides in science, particularly in the realms of aviation, wonder drugs, and the implements of warfare. But we have not progressed correspondingly in how to live peaceably with other human beings, here and abroad.

The aftermath of war has brought great social unrest in our own beloved country as well as in other lands. Years out of the lives of our young people have been wasted. Our whole 'mode of life has been changed. We have witnessed the increase in crime. Many, in despair, look to the Federal Government to cure our ills. Yes, we drift toward Socialism.

What can we do about it? Very much, In the midst of our complicated mode Of living, such a thing as loving our neighbor often seems trite and banal.

We are too prone to overlook the simple, basic principles of life.

Let us, therefore, cease looking for science, diplomacy and legislation to bring us out of the dilemma our nation and the world is in and turn to the better principles of life. Is this naive?

Thrke was wh henev ac tivities of a fraternal society was "hush. hush" heyond the doors of the lodge room. They did some charitable work but even a member , unless he was re , gular in his attendance at lodge meetings, seldom heard of it. During the past two decades . there has been a wholesome and most refreshing change on the part of Most lodges in the attitude. It is to be regretted that some still refrain from "letting their works be known to all men," This holding to a hide-bound, out grown custom is quite apparent from the limited results . of the survey of the General Welfare and Lodge Committees to the recent annual convention of the National Fraternal Congress.

In addition to the usual-and expected benevolent workof the local Societies -assistance in ease- of sickness and accident, medical nursing and hospital care.; rents and taxes paid for needy members there was a marked expansion in the financial support given community projects. These included donations to Community Chest, Red Cross, Infantile Paralysis; Cancer and Heart Disease campaigns-; Boy and Girl Scouts YMCA, YWCA, Salvation. Army , etc, r

Are You Always Looktx Find Fault?

One ti the human frailties common to ll le; is the everpresent tendency to find ratan.

This tendency expresses itself outwardly, for our faultfinding always involves other people — not ourselves.

The other person's faults usually are magnified, while our own shortcomings — our errors of commission and on-fission — are glossed over or else ignored entirely.

We become highly proficient in detecting the faults of others. But we are blind to our own.

Faultfinding requires no experience, 'no special knowledge or know-how.

It is one of those things which seems to come naturally to ell of us — or at least nearly all of us --- for there are a few people who seldom speak critically or unkindly of others.

This doesnot mean that they close their eyes to the faults, mistakes or shortcomings of others. But unless they are directly or indirectly involved, they see no virtue in pointing an accusing finger at their fellowman.

Promiscuous faultfinding is a mental virus, not a normal virtue.

It is destructive, not constructive.

It tends to pull people down, not to lift them up.

It contributes nothing uplifting to the character or the well-being of the fault finder or to the person criticized.

Yet, when we find fault with others, there is a sort of perverted inner exaltation.

It gives us a feeling of superiority, for when we indulge in idle faultfinding, we are saying in effect that we do not possess the faults or shortcomings we find in others. It expands our ego. It gives U.S an artificial lift, but not a healthy one.

Tf we were as alert and as diligent in spotting our own faults as we are in detecting the faults of others, our lives would be enriched beyond measure.

It would help to make this troubled world of ours a happier and more peaceful place in which to live.

There is one biblical principle which, if applied to our lives would go a long way toward overcoming the tendency to find fault.

It is this: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." ) • •( Service is the rent we pay for the space we occupy in lite. ) • 4 • ( Let's all remember to Help our Best Home for the Agedi

Your Inteligence

That Meant Most To Him

No intelligent prospect questions the value of life insurance, but sometimes a prospect questions the value of life insurance to himself and his family. What he really wants to buy are the things he most desires.

For himself he wishes not so much riches but rather enough income for independence and comfort and peace of mind, leisure when old oge comes, freedom some day from the daily downtown grind. For his wife he wishes an income sure and certain, so that she always will be able to be at home with the children, planning for their welfare, giving them her time and attention through their dependency years.

If a man knew that there would not be enough money for old-age happiness, if he knew that his death would bring poverty and misery to his widow, and that it would push his children down so far that a fair start in life would be impossible, then he would be quite miserable indeed. Isn't life insurance the wonderful and magical answer — and is it not the preardura dollar which enables a man to buy the very things which mean most to him? •

There are no quick and easy ways of achieving human progress. Nor are there any safe short cuts or reliable by-passes.

Travel along the highway of progress often is difficult and discouraging, for there are many problems to be solved and obstacles to be overcome along the road.

Real and lasting progress a usually is achieved the hard way — often after many failures — by patient and perzistest effort, by faith and vision, by courage and determination.

The faint-hearted do not get very far along the highway of progress. Nor do those of small vision and little faith.

Excerpts From The Minutes

ROM THE OFFICE OF OUR VICE PRESIDENT TO ALL ORGANIZERS Dear Brothers and Sisters: I was hoping that I would never have to make a report that would be under $100,000.00 of insurance for a month, but here is the report for August with only $97,000.00, very disappointing; is it not? Of course, I realize that most of you made an all out effort during the contest and that you used up your list of prospects during that time. However, by this time you should have a new list of prospects, and with the harvest coining on you should be able to sell a lot of new insurance.

Remember if every organizer would sell only $5,000.00 in the next four months, we would double the sales of 1956, so please, don't let us down, we still hope to make our goal.

Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain Fraternally yours.

Fraternally yours, Jacob Shortner, Secty. Seventh District SPJST ) •( RANDOLPH AFB, (SAN ANTONIO), TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: About a month ago Vestnik published my first article which concerned my idea of starting a Czechoslovakian radio program in the an Antonio area.

As I have written in the Czech section of this weekly, this program would be transmitted from radio station KGNB in New Braunfels which covers an area of approximately 50 miles of good reception This program would be transmitted on Sunday nights at 6:00 p. m.

Since I'm new to this area and know from the people here that there is a vast population of Czechs here to have a Czech program, I would like to find out exactly how much interest there is.

I was little disappointed when I only received one letter acknowledging my idea after having written in Vestnik all about this program and requesting the people interested to write. The one letter that I have received was from Mr. Novosad of San Antonio to who I am very grateful.

Before a program of this type can be commenced, there has to be something to back it up which is the support of the interested people. In this case your letters will promote this idea to the greatest extent. Don't wait for the others to write and please write yourself.

Right now this idea is small in size and only you can make it a reality.

Please write to: A-3c Charles D. Sazaysky, 3515the Suppron FTAF( Rand-, dolph AFB, Texas.

Life Insurance Benefits Gain Income payments to American families from their life insurance policies now exceeds three quarters of a billion a year, representing proceeds from policy benefits of previous years, the Institute of Life Insurance reports. These payments are not included in the current year total of benefits paid.

Payments made on income plans during 1956 totaled $790,000,000 and on the basis of recent increases will be between $850,000,000 and $900,000,000 this year according to the Institute. This is in addition to the current benefit payments which were $5,878,235,000 last year and will top $6,300,000,000 this year.

Income payments are now running nearly three times the total at the end of World War II and are many times the annual figures of the 1920's and 1930's.

At the start of this year, U.S. families had $7,000,000,000 of accumulated policy funds left with the companies for future income payments, this reserve being nearly twice the reserve held for this purpose in 1954.

Last year was the first time the income payments to policyholder families exceeded the amount set aside during the year from current policy proceeds.

Millions of American families now have at least a portion of their life insurance set up to provide income payments rather than lump sums, the Institute states. One reflection of the rapid growth of the income idea for benefit payment has been the large increase in recent years in the purchase of Family Income policies, combining permanent and term insurance and assuring an income to the beneficiaries for a ter.mi of years. First written in 1930 this type of policy has risen by last year to account for the largest total coverage of any type of ordinary insurance purchased.

Some, companies have a very high share of their insurance in force set up under income provisions and in some cases the benefits set aside for income use run over 50 per cent of total benefits susceptible to income use. For all companies combined, the share of total benefits used for income plans is around one fourth. This persentage would run much larger were it not for the rapid growth in recent years of such plans as mortgage insurance, business insurance and credit insurance, which do net generally lend themselves' to income settlement.

that are worked out in detail, according to the Institute, as certain ,family protection needs call for cash. ) * 01). • ( LIFE INSURANCE ADDS $2.4 BILLION TO CAPITAL FUNDS Total assets of all U.S. life insurance companies, representing policyholders accumulations, increased $2,395,000,000 in the first six months of this, year, making that much added capital funds available for the economy, the,- Institute of Life Insurance reports. This, was about 8 per cent less than in the first half of last year. The June 30 total of assets was $98,239,000,000.

New investments made insecurities and mortgages during the first..halfyear totaled $7,426,000,000 including reinvestment funds from maturities,, amortizations and replacements.

"Coupled with the smaller asset rise, there was reduced turnover of 'investments, reinvestment funds available, being down 13 per cent from the year .before, compared with an 8 per . ' cent smaller increase in asset" the institute said. "U.S. corporate bond purchases in the half year were about 4 per cent less than a year ago, but in both half-years the holdings of such securities ,rose; by about 3 per cent. Mortgages acquired this year were one-fourth less than a year ago, but the aggregate on loan under mortage increased nearly +–per cent this year, compared with .6, ,per cent last year."

SCHOOL BUS SAFETY LAWS Thousands of school children will soon be trooping back to school throughout Texas. Many of them will be transported by school buses. Most people are careful when approaching a schitol bus which may he standing beside the ,road or school to nick up school children or allow them to alight. However, we have already hart some very bad accidents this year because a child or a motorist, or both, were careless at that very time.

Most Texans are aware of the law Which requires a driver to come to a complete stop when overtaking from the rear a school bus which has stopped to receive or discharge school children.

After stopping immediately behind the bus, he is then allowed by law to proceed past same at a speed "which is prudent, not exceeding ten (10) miles per hour, and with due caution for the safety of such children."

What many persons do not realize is that the very same rule applies when "Meeting" a stopped school bus. While everyone is interested in protecting our children, unthinking violators of this Simple safety rule probably outnumber those who comply. Failure to follow the law in this ease can lead to fines up to $200 even when no accident occurs.

Following an accident in which some child is injured or killed, the penalties are naturally much more serious.

Although , the sboVe , rule does, not always apply when passing a ,stopped school bus in a business or residential district of a town, the necessity for extreme caution even in those locations is obvious.

When it comes to overtaking and passing moving vehicles, exercise of ordinary common sense will generally keep a driver within the law. For instance, when passing a car it is only common sense to proceed on past it a safe distance before cutting back to the right side of the highway. Also, any It's not peace we object to. only the driver would realize the danger of innervous tension that goes with it. — creasing his speed while another is atRoanoke Times, tempting, to pass hirn6 -

Wednesday, September 4, 1957 In the same category is the prohibition against passing on the right under most ordinary conditions. Of course, you may legally pass on the right in a few specific instances, such as when the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn, or upon a one-way, street with two or more lanes. or upon a four-lane highway.

However, our traffic laws State that even when passing on the right is allowed, it shall be done only under conditions permitting such movement in safety. And, in no event should such passing be accompanied by driving off the pavement or main-traveled portion of the roadway.

Familiar to all are the no passing zones designated by dash lines placed to one side of the center stripe on our highways. Not so well known are the restrictions against crossing the center line when approaching within 100 feet of or when traversing any intersection or railroad grade crossing.

A driver should never cross the center line of a highway when the left side of the road is not clearly visible and free of oncoming traffic. Generally speaking, when not engaged in passing another vehicle, one should not drive to the left of this center of the roadway.

Health Preparation of Your Child for School Health preparation includes both physical and mental preparation of your child. All too frequently parents do not think of these two together.

These preparations do not start two or three weeks before "little Johnny" starts to school, but should. have been started early in his life. By proper guidance and love a parent can early lay the foundation for his child's emo tional life by helping him to adjust to other children and to adults, to learn to give and take and to be able to fit in with a group.

Every mother and father wants their child to get the best possible start in school. This is where you, the parents can do your part by taking him to see your family doctor for a thorough check up before school starts. Many parents will wonder why they should take their child, especially when he or she appears to be in tip-top phyeical condition.

Your family doctor can help by giving advice that will probably help improve your child's general health. If a health problem does exist, your doctor can give you help and advice to correct it and, thus, prevent physical and emotional troubles later in school.

Be sure your child's immunizations are up to date. These should include at least: (1) Small pox—Early smallpox vaccination is advantageous from the standpoint of affording protection at an early age. It is recommended that your child be revaccinated every five to seven years and whenever there is an epidemic of smallpox. (2) Diphtheria — Your family doctor probably started this immunization for your child early during infancy. A "booster" injection yearly is recommended. Usually these injections are stopped when your child reaches six years of age. (3) Tetanus — This immunization is usually started early in infancy also and yearly "booster" injections continued. Some doctors stress the importance of annual tetanus injections for children who live on farms, (4) Polio—As most parents know, this is a fairly new vaccine discovered and perfected by Dr. Salk, There has been much controversy concerning this vaccine, and parents can obtain full information from their family doctor.

These immunizations should be part of your child's regular pre-school check up each year, Your family doctor may also recommend other irrununizations than those listed above.

Another phase of your child's health is his hearing and his eyesight. These should be checked by a compentent doe-

tor each ear. As most parents know, defects in hearing or eyesight can effect your child physically and emotionally in school; therefore, these defects should be corrected as early as possible so as to help your child for the present and prevent further complications. Your child may be very intelligent and mentally alert, but he or she cannot do their best work in school if these defects are present.

Your dentist contributes greatly to your child's general health as well at to the health of his teeth. Teeth that are in poor condition may cause complicating illnesses and feeling of being generally tired and listless. A is well worthwhile to ∎apply the old phra•,,e; "see your dentist at least once a year."

In a short article it is impossible to cover every phase of preparing, child for this important milestone in his life; therefore, we have not attempted the task. We do hope that we have helped to bring some of the highlights to you, the parents; and that you can now begin with confidence the all important pob of getting your child off to school for the first time with flying colors.

After that the old man and Yanechek lived on happily together. Yanechek pastes ed the goats and the old man made cheese at home and they ate together. And you may be sure that the third Yezinka never showed herself again on that hill.

Thirty bays Behind The Iron Curtain CONTINUED) June 13: The four of us took a bus to Pisek located in southern Czechoslovakia. It is a favorite summer resort on the Otava. River. It has many remnants of the Hussite era. The country we traveled through reminded me Of East Texas, the all, piney woods and hils. The farmers were all mowing hay and the women were stacking it. We arrived in Pisek late that ev e ning and located the ho.-ne of Mr. and Mrs. Jan Picha( Brother of Frank Picha in -f-..lenzales). All of us were made welcome and right away Mrs. Pichn served us wine and kolaches.

Hospitality was given us in this home and to us it meant a lot because we were complete strangers to each other. That right„we stayed at Ilotsl Byla Ruze in Pisek, located on the River Otava.

June l el: We took a train to Hluboka nad Vltavou. This is the largest castle in Czechoslovakia, bUilt in 1825. It has a very interesting background, the beautiful paintings, furniture, library, and the entrance hall that is covered with deer horns and, suits of armor. Surrounding this castle are well kept grounds and flowers of every description, also fish ponds, and ducks by the thousands, with the green Meadows in the background.

At Hotel Obed, (located at the foet of Hluboka), we had lunch. Here by accident, we met Joe Xoss's brother. Every one was exited and we all had iots to talk about, of course pictures were taken and than we were off to Ceske Budejovice. The buildings around the square all have Arches, very unusual.

From here we left for Prague and were we glad to get there.

June 15: We wen shopping in Prague.

That evening we went to a Czech movie, (Hracky s Certem).

June 15: We went shopping in Prague.

At this place; the Russian Delegates hold their Conventions and by my cousins help we were guided through this large building and shown the new addil ions and also the large dining room and "parkette" (Dance floor). Later on we went to see the "Letni Divadlo", (Out door performances). Here we saw the Slovaks, do their dances in their national costumes. Also Czech soldiers sang several choral numbers. It was an afternoon well spent. That night we spent at the ETlanade Hotel, as the next morning we were all to meet there and start on the 10 day tour through the C. S. R. June 17: Thirty Texans siuned up for the tour through out the C. S. R. Every one was up bright and early and ready to began the tour that we all looked

By Mrs. Betty Jurica forward to. We left Prague at 9:00 O'clock in the direction of Olomouc. Before noon, we stopped in Litomysl. This is an old town with a rich Cultural Tradition. The most famotn:: of its sons is the Composer Bedrich Smetana. Here at a hotel we had a cool glass u( beer and a rohlik. Just beiore night VT arriled at Oloinciz and stuji.ed to see the Orloj (large astronomical clock). There are only two clocks of this make, because when the cloCk was finished, the bailders eyes were tanned out so that he could never build one like it anymore. This clock shows, the day, month, temperature, time, statues, changes of moon, and sun, on the every hour, statues representing different trades come out.

From here we went to the "Svaty Kopecek". Here is a beautiful church on a large hill. This church was partially destroyed in World Warr II, but now repaired. The paintings in this church are very beautiful, especially in the ceiling where the paintings are from stories from the Bible. It's juSt hard to describe, one must see this to appreciate thebeauty of the surroundings.

From here we went back to Olomouc to spend our first night in Hotel "Narodni Duni."

June 18: We took a ride through Olomouc and stopped at another church of Gothic design, very beautiful. Here we were shoWn the jeWels, bible, cross of diamonds (Worth a fortune) etc. of an Archbishop. All of this was very interesting to see so many stones of all descriptions.

We also stopped at Valaskfho Mealmei (museum of natural science). This is a museum where Valasske home's, furniture, etc. are kept as no more are built like it. Here we met an old gentlemen that Played the "CyMbal." School children had him all surrounded and sang songs with him. All of us joined him and sang the familiar Czech and Slovak songs which we all enjoyed.

From here went to Roznew pod Radhostem, a place out of this world. Lunch was served here in a large - hotel that is located in beautiful Beskydy mountains with large trees in the background.

Several hours were spent here and lots of pictures were taken, as everyone had. a camera with him.

talking and some of the tourists (from Chicago) had to give some of there rooms and fe were put up over the night.

It rained all night.

June 19. We visited to Ora y sky Zamek in Slovakia. It is located on two rivers, River Vah and River Oravy. The Zamek is built on a 112 dl high rocky cliff above the two rivers, it was built in the 12th century. It was very interesting to go through this Slovakian Zamek that had many historical happening here. To explain all of this it would take too much time. Several of us started out to go through this ZatrAek, but it the higher we got, the less of us were" there to continue. When we reached the highest level, there were only three of us Texans and the rest were the guide, bus driver, T. V. photographers and Zahraniciii (Police). Mr. Skrabanek of Houston, Rose Prochozka of Crosby, and yours truly made it to the top. Several hundred steps lead to the top and this does not include the hallw*ys, etc. It was a beautiful sight to look at the villages and the farm land and then the two rivers. Down below was the rest of the crowd, waving to us and further were more of them, that didn't even attempt to go up at all. It was lots of fun as the T. V. photographers took pictures for Television. (They were with us on this and T. V. pictures were made every day). When we came back to our starting point, several of our tourists found where good "koblihy" were sold. Did we all buy them while they were still hot. (Boy! Boy what good food and to top this of, there was Borovicka, and that good beer that was always so refreshing). All aboard call was announced and off we went to our next destination Demanovske Caves.

Lunch was served in Horskem Hotel at the entrance of the Cave. This cave was found in 1921 by Alois Kral. It's a Cave that is different than Carlsbad or The Mammoth in Kentucky. One must see this cave to appreciate the beauty of nature that took millions of years to form.
