BABY SITTERS FREE OF CHARGE AT POKROK 84, DALLAS At the recent opening celebration of its enlarged quarters of Lodge 84 our special attention was called to a feature in the construction of their Nursery.

The large, air conditioned Nursery with its baby beds is adjacent to the Lodge kitchen and the sister's insisted that a glass wall be put in between the kitchen and nursery so that the good sisters in the kitchen can keep an eye on the nursery, to see that baby is not disturbed by visiting small fry, and when baby needs help, the mother is notified.

What a small thing a plateglass wall is to the peace of mind of a mother who places her little one in the baby bed to know that a. watchful eye is kept on her wee one.

These kind-hearted baby sitters in the kitchen don't charge anything for the added service at Pokrok 84.

In making changes in your lodge, it might be a point to remember this plateglass wall for your Nursery,

OUR JUNIOR ACTIVITIES Camille Vodehnal Of . The graduation of our junior mem- sentative form of government of the

bers into the adult classes cannot be stressed too strongly. Of course, we all want more adult members every month, out the constantly growing number of juniors is a source of satisfaction to all who are interested in the future welfare of our fraternity. If you would build your adult units on a permanent basis, look well to the juniors and in a few years your active units will be composed largely of young enthusiastic members who came in orginally as juniors.

Our Juniors of today are the adults of tomorrow and eventually upon them will rest the entire responsibility of carrying on the work of our SPJST. From admission these young people have paid adequate rates, enjoyed the best of protection, and have learned through practical experience the true meaning and worth of our fraternal practices.

They came into the adult units indued with a spirit of fraternity and schooled in its principles, ready to assume their proper places in the activities of the adult organization.

These boys and girls come to us at an impressionable age, are taught the meaning of fraternity and protection. As time advances, and these former juniors take on added responsibilities of life, each one of them is a good prospect for additional protection, and their training and sense of these responsibilities make them active and enthusiastic members of the adult units. Therefore, nothing should be left undone that will help these children in their understa•ding of the fundamental principles of our SPJST. — Our aims and purposes.

I.:cannot impress upon you too strongly that these juniors are the fraternalists of tomorrow and in planning and supervising their activities, we must ever bear in mind. If we train our juniors. in the fraternal way of life, they 'Will be prepared to carry on this important work when our day is done.

I believe in our fraternal work, because I believe in what it stands for.

Fraternalism as practiced by the local lodges is not a thing of the past. Our lodge system is one of our greatest assets. It is difficult to enumerate the many advantages and priviledges that come through being organized as a lodge. We are all quite likely to accept these as a matter of course. In the last analysis life insurance business is a cooperative business — one of mutual helpfulness, and the highest expression of that idea can be found in the fraternal insurance system. The best example of cooperation is found in the repre-

fraternal societies and the local lodges where each member carries a part of the responsibility.

The local organization --- our Lodge is ! a tangible evidence to the public of the fraternal work being done by our Fraternity. If they are doing creditable work, public opinion will be favorable.

Cooperation is secured and a better understanding of the work we are doing.

Contrary to an often expressed opinion, people do like lodge work. The maqority of them are gregarous by nature, like to take part in or witness ritualistic work if it is streamlined to be in tune with modern times, and enjoy the small part they play in the social and benevolent work of the lodge. Friendships are created in the lodge room that endure a lifetime. This I will remind you over and over again. What will you do, to help in your local Lodge? ) • 4 • (

Dear Prospect!

I would like for you to read this story that has impressed me out of the Fraternal Monitor. .— It's like this: — Suppose I am a cork salesman. I come to you and ask you to buy ten pounds of plain honest - to - goodness cork. — You would think I was crazy wouldn't you? — Because you don't need any cork. — But let us assume that tomorrow you ,decide to go fishing and that you are out there in the middle of the lake, that a. storm come up, that your flimsy boat capsizes. — Now what would your reaction be if I stood on the shore and shouted, "Dr you want to buy same that cork?" — You would want to buy some, but — the troubles would be, — I couldn't make delivery. — The lesson? You won't need insurance now, until you are sick, old or death, but to have it then, --- you must buy it now! ) • 4 • ( Guy who tries to be the whole cheese with his friends, is likely to be the offensive sort. ) • 4 • ( A writer says people are entitled to their own opinions.

CAmILLE VODEHNAL OF HOUSTON We are proud to present the Sokols of Texas the above picture (courtesy of the Houston Chroncile) of Andrea Vodehnal of Houston, Texas, who after years of study was chosen to join the Ballet Ruse de Monte Carlo Company of New Yolk. She first trained at the Kotchetovsky School of Dancing in Houston.

Texas remembers her and her brothers as toddlers 'at Sokol exhibitions with their parents, sister Carrie Vodehnal and the late brother Jerry Vodehnal.

Later she performed in a Sokol group from. Houston in a mother-daughter exhibition in mother-daughter teams which is to this day fondly remembered.

We are all so proud of you today, Andrea, may your star shine for many, many years, to gladden the hearts of those who behold you in this profession to which you have given so many years of hard work, given your heart, and we are all happy that your maiden dreams and hopes have come true for you.

MRS. A. L. SCHANK (dz) • )• FROM CALIFORNIA --- A STORY OF A TEXAS GIRL Dear Readers and Friends, Mother do not be too schocked to see my letter in the Vestnik (that is if the Editor will print it). At long last I decided to take your advice and write. Perhaps I will be able to let all of our wonderful friends and family at home know how we are by writing to the Vestnik.

We have been very busy here the last few weeks. About a week ago my wonderfut husband and I froze about 20 quarts of string beans, lots of bell peppers and other dishes we made. Then today we froze 15 quarts of peaches and lots of corn on the cob. Tomorrow we plan to make several apple pies and cakes for freezin. Soon our freezer will be jarred to the top. There is nothing in this world I think that is more wonderful then a freezer, and it is so easy to prepare things for freezing and it takes half of the time as canning. So if any of you are down our way soon drop in and have beans and peaches with us ha! There is a small savings on food if you can freeze your own -especially when the fruit and 'vegetables are plentiful and cheap. Although there is lots of fruit and vegetables raised here — they are quite high when they first come in season; but later in the season they are fairly cheap There are so many fruits and vegetables here that I never saw or had eaten at home. We love to eat artichokes, esvcially if dipped in mayonnaise, Also parsnips arc delicious if parboiled, rolled in batter and fried. Taste just like fried chicken. Also bean sprouts are so tasty and delicious fixed in a stew. I could just go on and on. My husband is marvelous cook and baker and is always trying out new dishes on us.

Excuse me a moment, but our beloved son is asking for water. He is such a beautiful and good baby. It seems almost impossible that on the 30th of

VkSTNIK— WEST, TEXAS September he will he two. He still remember his beloved — Granny (my mother) who for so long blessed our humble home with her love and care.

His name for her is Bobby; and he is alwoys going to the phone to call Bobby in Texas. He talks well and I try to teach him Czech .He can say all parts of the body and a few other things in Czech.

His favorite word tho is "oci" (comes up and almost pokes your eye out and says it.) ha! He sends all of his beloved Aunties, uncles, granny and grandpop and friends bushels of kisses and his cousins too.

This is the Labor Day week end, and what a mob on the road. We are being wise and are staying at home. It seems that when any long week-end comes here — everybody jumps in their cars and takes off. The traffic is just tremendous. We only hope and pray that the traffic deaths will be much lower then estimated.

About 2 months ago I started on a project of tile laying my bathroom. I didn't know what a task it was until I tried myself. After several days I was ready to plaster cement all over myself and glue myself to the wall as a fixture.

Ha! But my project came out verywell.

At least my friends compliment it to make me feel well ha!

The weather is getting cooler here now in the evening and monrs. It has looked like rain for several weeks — but hasn't rained much. Actually we have had very little rain here since the flood 2 years ago. We were very lucky, and were not hurt by the flood, but so many people were. Well they are well prepared if another ever comes. All places flooded during those terrible times have been fixed and built up.

Stream 2 your wonderful understanding and-loving hearts. May I take this opportunity and thank two wonderful people for there love and kindness given not only to me, but all people whom, had the privilege of knowing them.

Mr. and IIVIrs. Kosar, how are you enjoying your new home? I bet it is beautiful and you are proud. of it. May I also express my thanks to both of you for your wonderful akindneas. Mrs. Kosar I still adore shrimp — but here it is so small. They don't have shrimp as large here as at home. I remember well the wonderful basket of shrimps you always fined on my birthday.

I could just go on about people and how wonderful they are — but I would have a volume of books written iffl did.

If the editor doesn't mind I would like so much to express my deepest and pmblest thanks to our beloved family and many friends for that wonderful kindness during my illness 2 years All of the wonderful cards, letters and calls did a lot to hep my recovery. God Bless each of you for your concern and love.

In conclusion I would like 'to send our deepest regards to the Hala family, Klapach family, the Eisner clan and all of our other friends who are too numerous to list.

Some day soon I hope that we can take a trip home and see everyone . ',sand wonderful Texas.

Mr. editor I thank you very much :'for considering this messy letter for publication.

Nazdar!

Sincerely, Anne Elzner Spencer 730 San Simeon Sunnyvale, Calif.

Children's, Youth Club RAINY-DAY CIRCUS

By JEAN WYATT One rainy Saturday morning Grandma Feather was busy making cookies.

She sang happily while the rain splashed against the windowpane.

All at once there was a knock on the door. Grandma Feather dusted her Henry hands on the corner of her pink apron and hurried to see who was there.

Lucy and Larry, her two young friends, stood on the porch smiling from under their sou'westers. They wore rubber hots. and raincapes, and water sparkled all over them.

'We, , couldn't wait for the rain to stop beforecoming over," began Lucy.

"Besides" put in her brother, "its the bluest day when it rains."

Grandma Feather smiled.

"CoMe in, my dears," she said "Would you .like to feed Hildy and Timken for me?"

"Oh yes!" replied the twins eagerly.

In the kitchen the children removed their raincapes, hats and booths. Hildy, a black cat with yellow eyes, came out from under the kitchen table. Purring loudly,,. she circled Lucy.

Larry called gaily to a parrot, "Hi, Timken, old thing."

Timken, a parrot with blue, red, and green feathers, swung slowly back and forth on a ring in his cage. He eyed Larry with interest and made important sounding noises in his throat. Then he cried harshly, "Larry! Hello! Hello!" ever and over abain.

Wedne rl iy.'.aptember 1.1, 1957

Everyone laughed.

Larry filled Timken's seed disk and water bowl and stuck a graham cracker between the bars of his cage. Then he siged.

"Sure is the bluest day when it rains," Larry murmured.

"Uh-huh!" agreed Lucy, as she finished cutting up small pieces of fresh cod for Hildy. She placed the dish before the black cat.

Grandma Feather smiled. "How would you both like to make cookies?" she asked the children. "There is enough dough left over from my baking."

That'd be fun!" declared Lucy clapping her hands.

Larry looked doubtful. "Ah, boys don't bake," he grumbled.

"Some of the best cooks In the world are men, Larry" reminded Grandmother Feather. "Now then, here, are the cookie cutters, and I'll roll out the dough for you."

Larry picked up a. cookie cutter and held it up for inspection.

"A bear," he said in surprise. He reached for another cutter. "And here a camel."

"And here," put in Grandma Feather, "is a box of sugar and here is a box of raisins to decorate your cookies."

Soon Lucy and Larry were busy pressing out bears, camels, pigs, ponies, and elephants. They sprinkled sugar on top of all the animals and gave them raisin eyes.

The children stepped back to admire their work.

"Look Grandma Feather," they cried, "we have a cookie circus!"

Grandina Feather nodded. "And while you were so busy," she declared, "the weather has turned clear."

Larry ran to the window. "The Km is shining, Sis," he called happily. "And we forgot to grumble when We had something to de!" Larry added.

Grandma Feather chuckled as she slipped the children's cookie circus into the oven to bake. ( * t••

every phaSe of life has also brought changes in the tastes of our youth.

Many of our Halls are well kept and beautiful places for youth to gather in entertainment in good company and the Lodge 92 brothers and sisters want their large group of young members to know that this Hall into which they put their hearts, time and money to build, is open to its youth, who they all love, to enjoy as they see fit, as long as it is in a decent and orderly fashion.

With good will and patience on both sides, these different age groups of members can work and play in the Lodge Hall in harmony and satisfaction to all concerned.

Our sincerest best wishes to all members of Lodge 92 for this progressi4e step in the right direction. May out; ovely youth give yoi) as much happiness in their good times as you give them in your understanding and love. ) • 41, ° (

At a well-attended meeting Sunday, Sept. 8, Lodge Svaz Slovanu of Fort Worth No. 92, after a lively discussion, heartily approved the organizing of its group of young people into a "Youth Club." They already have an active ball club and just as soon as their uniforms are available, the Vestnik will present them to the Texas fraternal family.

The older generation of our Lolge 92, the builders and planners of this SPJST fraternal unit acknowledged that the rapid progress our country has made in

Now the youngest son, whose name was Kubik, was not considered as bright as his brothers, for he was kind to beggars and he never drove a hard bargain.

His brothers often laughed at him and his father pitied him, for he thought that Kubik was too gentle to make his way in the world.

Kubik's path , took him into a deep fOrest. He walked on and on -until suddenly a little frog hopped up in front of him and said: "Where are you going, Kubik?"

rhe Story of Kubik And The Frog (Old Czech Fairy 'rale.)

A farmer who had three sons was much troubled in his mind as to how he should leave his property. "My farm is too small to divide," he kept thinking to himself: "If I divide it into three equal parts and give each of my sons one part, they will all be poor cottagers, and yet, if I give it all to one son, I shall be unjust to the. other two. My grandfather always said that it is a father's duty to treat all his children alike and I'm sure I don' want to depart from his teachings."

At least he called his sons together and said: "I have hit upon a plan whereby- fate shall decide which of you shall be my heir. You must all go out into the world and find brides, and he who brings back as a betrothal gift the most beautiful ring shall have the farm."

The .s.ons agreed to this plan and the YOUTH CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED AT next day they all set out in different FORT WORTH LODGE 92 directions in quest of brides.

Wednesday, September 11, 1957 Now Kubik had never in all his life heard of a frog that could talk. At first he was frightened but even so he was too polite not to answer a civil question.

So he told the frog about his father and the farm and the quest for betrothal gifts upon which he and his brothers were pound.

The frog listened and when he was finished she said: "Come with me, Kubik, and my daughter, Kachenka, will give you a more beautiful ring than any your father or brothers have ever seen."

Kubik hesitated, but at last not to hurt the frog's feelings he agreed. "But if your daughter Kachenka looks like you," he thought to himself, "Heaven help me, for she'll be a pretty dear price to pay for a farm!"

The frog led him to a deep valley at one of which rose a high rocky cliff that was coney-combed with caverns.

The frog hopped into one of these andl called out: "Kachenka, leer child, where are you?

Here is Kubik come to woo you and to beg a bethrothal gift. Bring out your little box of rings."

Instantly a second frog appegred draging a heavy jewel casket. Kachenka, alas, was a hundred times uglier than her mother. Her legs were crooked, her face was all covered , with spots, and when she spoke her voice was hoarse and croaking For a moment Kubik shivered and turned away in disgust, but only for a moment until he remembered that it wasn't Kachenka's fault that she was a frog.

The two frogs put the casket before him and opened it and Kubik saw that it was filled with a collection of the ra,rest and most beautiful rings in the world.

"Make your own choice, Kubik," the old frog said.

Kubik selected as plain a ring as there was, for he was ashamed to take one of the handsomest.

"Not that one!" the old frog said, "unless you want your brothers to laugh at you." . Thereupon she herself picked out the rings that had the biggest diamond of them all, wrapped it up carefully in paper, and handed it to Kubik.

"Now hurry home," she said, " for your brothers are already there and your father is waiting for you."

As soon as Kubik reached home the farmer called his three sons together and demanded to be shown their betrothal gifts.

All the eldest son had was a common brass ring.

VgSTNfIC W T, TEXAS "Um," the farmer said, shaking his

head. "Well, put it away for a keepsake."

The second son showed a silver ring that was worth a few cents more.

"A little better," the old man nuinbled, "but not good enough for a farmer.

Put it away for a keepsake.

"And now," he said turning to his youngest son, "let us see what Kubik has brought from his promised bride."

They all looked at Kubik, and Kubik blushed as he felt in his pocket for the little package.

"Ho, ho!" his brothers laughed. "Kubik has such a fine ring that he has to keep it wrapped up."

But when he opened the paper they stopped laughing, and well they might, for there was a great diamond that sparkled and blazed, until it seemed that the sun was shining in the room.

"Kubik!" the farmer cried when he at last found his voice, "where did you get that ring?" You must have stolen it, you wicked boy!" And without waiting to hear what Kubik had to say, he reached for a whip and trounced the poor lad to within an inch of his life.

Then he took the ring and hid it carefully away.

"Now, my boys," he said to his sons, "you will all have to make another trial.

This time ask of your promised brides the gift of an embroidered kerchief and he who brings the most beautiful kerchief shall be my heir."

So the next day the three sons again started out, each in aâ&#x20AC;˘ different direction.

Kubik thought to himself: "I won't go the way I went yesterday or I may meet that old frog again and then, when I get home, the only prize I'll get will be another beating."

So he took a different path but he hadn't gone far before the old frog hopped up in. front of him.

"What's the matter, Kubik?" she asked.

At first Kubik didn't want to tell her but she questioned him and finally, not to seem rude, he told her about the beating his father had given him on account of Kachenka's ring and about the new quest for kerchiefs upon which his father was now send him and his brothers.

"Now don't think any more about that whipping," the old frog advised 'him. "And as for an embroidered kerchief, why, Kachenka is the very girl for that! She will give you one that will make your brothera open their eyes."

Kubik wasn't sure that he wanted to accept another of Kachenka's gifts, but the old frog urged him and at last he

Strana 25 agreed. So again they took the path to the rocky cliff. The old frog called her daughter out as before and presently Kachenka appeared dragging a chest that was filled with the most beautiful of kerchiefs, all of fine silk and all richly embroidered and so large that there were more like shawls than ker-, chiefs.

Kubik, reached in and took the first that come to hand.

"Tut, tut!" the old frog said. "That's no way to select a kerchief.

Then she picked out the biggest and the most richly embroidered of them all and wrapped it up in paper. She gave it to Kubik and said: "Now hurry home, for your brothers are already there and your father is waiting for you."

As soon as Kubik reached h6line the farmer called his three sons togethers and demanded to be shown their betrothal gifts.

All the eldest one had was a small cheap kerchief of no value whatsoever.

"Urn," the fanner said, shaking his head. "Well, put it away for a keepsake."

The kerchief of the second son had cost a few cents more.

"A little better," the old man numbled. "Perhaps it's good enough for a farmer. "And now," he said, turning , to his youngest son, "let's see what Kubik has brought from his promised bride."

They all looked at Kubik, and Kubik, blushed as he pulled out a parcel from under his shirt.

"Ho, ho!" laughed his brothers. "Ktr,= bik has such ' a fine kerchief that he has to keep it wrapped up in paper."

But when Kubik opened the paper they stopped laughing, and well they might, for there was silken kerchief so big that it could have covered the whole room and so richly embroidered that any princess in the world would have been proud to own it.

"Kubik!" the farmer cried when at last he was able to speak, "where did you get that kerchief?" You must have stolen it you wicked boy!" And without waiting to hear what Kubik had to.say, he reached down the whip again and trounced the poor boy to within an inch of his life. filen he took the kerchief and hid it carefully away.

"Now, my sons," he said, "you will all have to make another trial. But than time it will not be for a ring or a ker. chief. This time bring home your bride3 and he whose bride is the most beautiful shall be my heir!"

So the next day the three sons again started out, each in a different direction.

Strana 26 "I don't want to see Kachenka again," poor Kubik said to himself. "'Twice I've brought back the best betrothal gift and each time I've got a beating for it.

I wonder what they would say if I brought home a frog for 'ar bride. Then they would have something to laugh at!"

So he took a different path through the forest but again he hadn't gone far before the old frog hopped up in front of him. This time Kubik turned and ran. The old frog called after him but the louder she called the faster he ran.

He ran on and on until suddenly a great snake stopped him. The snake reared high its head, then dropped into roil. Again it reared up and swayed from side to side threatening to strike if Kubik went on. So Kubik saw that fate was determined that he should rmirry a frog and reluctantly he turned back. The snake led him to the cliff, where the old frog greeted him kindly and thanked the snake for his faithful service.

Poore Kubik! He was very tired and very unhappy. When you came to think of it; who wouldn't be unhappy at the prospect of being united for life to a frog!

Kubik was so tired that preSently he -fell asleep and it was just as well he did, for at least in dreams he could .for ri et his troubles.

The next morning when he woke and rUbbed his eyes, he found himself lying on a soft feather bed,- white as snow, in a splendid room with decorations that were fit for a king. A fine silken shirt lay spread out on a chair beside the bed and beyond the chair was a stand With a silver basin. When he got up attelakints came running in carrying c1011ies of richly woven cloth of gold.

They dressed Kubik and they combed his hair until they had him looking like a. young prince. Then they brought him breakfast and there was cream with coffee and I would have you know that this was only the second time in his life that Kubik had ever had cream with his coffee! • Kubik did not know what to think of it all. His head went round and round.

When he looked out the window he saw no trace of cliff or caverns or forest.

In Stead he saw a big town with streets and houses and people going to and fro.

Presently: music began to play under the window, a great crowd gathered :and soon attendants online in to escort Lord Kubik out. As he reached the castle gate, the people cheered and a coach, and six drove up. Two ladies were in it, a mother and daughter, both dres-

held their breath.

Then the handsome young lord said to the old man: "Don't you know me?"

"Where could I ever have seen your lordship?" the farmer asked. humbly. He kept bobbing so low it was a wonder he didn't bamp his head against the floor.

"And do neither of your sons know me? I think these are your sons, aren't they?"

The farmer kept on bev,ing and the two sons looked down, too embarrassed to speak.

At length the handsome young lord said: "What, don't you know your own son, Kubik, whom you used to beat for stealing when he shot\ ea you his betrothal gifts?"

At that the old man looked lilt him. closely and cried out. "Pies: niy soul, I believe it i.„4 our Kubik! But who could recognize the boy! And is this his bride?.

That settles it! Kubik shall have the farm! Kubik has brought home the most beautiful bride!"

"Kubik doesn't need the farm.," the old queen said, "not will you need it any longer nor your other sons. You will all come home with 14. to our kingdom over which Kubik is now king. And may God grant you many years to live on in peace sand quiet."

The fanner was overjoyed at this arrangement. He embraced his son, and his son's bride, and his son's royal mother-in-law.

He gave his farm to the poorest man in the village and then he and his sons accompanied Kubik back to his king' darn. There he lived long in peace and comfort enjoying the thought that good fortune had come to thQm all on ac• count of his determination not to divide the farm.

The poor man who inherited the farm prayed for him and his sons every night and never tired of telling the story 01 how Kubik became a king and his broth. ers.

sed in beautiful silks. They alighted from the coach and when they saw Kubik they smiled and came toward him with outstretched hands.

"You don't know us, do you, Kubik?' the older lady said. "I was the old frog who coaxed you to the cliff and this, my beautiful daughter, was the other little frog, the very ugly one, that you feared you would have to take home to your father's house as your bride. You see, Kubik, we were all under an evil enchantment. Many years ago a wicked magician brought in on us and our kingdom. He changed our subjects into snakes and us into frogs and turned our fine city into a rocky cliff.

Nothing could break the enchantment until someone should come and ask a betrothal gift from my daughter. We lived in the forest for years and years and all those years I begged all the people who wandered by to help us but the only trod on us or turned away from us in disgust. You, Kubik, were the first one not to scorn us for our ugly looks. By this you broke the evil spell that held us and now we are all free.

As a rewardy ou shall marry my daughter, the Princess Kachenka, and be made king!"

Then the old queen took Kubik by the hand and led him to the royal coach, where she made him sit between her and the princess. Music played and the people cheered, and in this style they drove to Kubik's native village and to his father's house.

The old man was in the yard chopping firewood and his older sons were helping him. They, too, had brought home their brides, plain country girls from poor farms, and at that moment they were all awaiting Kubik's arrival.

"Look, father," the oldest son cried, seine`` fine folks are turning in here!"

"We're not behind in our taxes, are we?" the second son asked.

"Hush," the old man whispered. "I have nothing to fear. My affairs are all in good order."

He put his cap respectfully under his arm and stood bareheaded and both his sons followed his example.

The coach drove straight into the yard and a handsome young lord and two beautiful ladies alighted.

Calendar of Activities

RANDOLPH APB, (SAN ANTONIO), TEXAS

President Marek reported to the Supreme Lodge that the annual convention of the National Fraternal Congress of America will be held at Los Angeles, California, on Sept. 23, 24, and 25, 1957 and the convention of the Texas Fraternal Congress will be held at the Hawn Hotel, in Temple, on Oct. 24-25, 1957.

It was agreed that the Supreme Lodge, SPJST should be represented by some of its officers as delegates at both of these conventions. * * Big Dance of the Teenagers of Lodge B4, at Dallas on the 21st of September.

Music by Joe Pokladnik's Orchestra. — Dance begins at 8 p.m.

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 San 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.

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( Randdolph AFB, Texas.

Sincerely, Charles D. Sazaysky —) • .1. • NEW LICENSES NOW NEEDED TO HUNT AND FISH New hunting and fishing licenses are now on sale all over Texas, according to the Chief Clerk of the Game and Fish Commission.

Best regards Mrs. Fred.' Kubitza Rt. 3, Mart, -Texas ve • IDRY WEATHER INCREASES CRASS FIRE HAZARD College Station — The increased danger of grass and woodland fires during the hot summer months poses a real threat to our cheapest source of livestock feed.

The Texas Farm and Ranch Safety Couwdl points out that most grass fires are caused by carelessness and the failure of people to observe fire safety rules. Grass and other plants along the highways, in parks, woodlands, pastures and ranges are all dry enough to burn and motorists are especially urged to make sure that matches, cigarettes, cigars and pipe ashes are dead before they are thrown onto combustible material.

Good pasture is very important to livestock producers. They must depend on grasslands — especially with the present prices of livestock — to keep down production costs. A charred range resulting from one care less act could be the final blow that would put a producer out of business.

Ranges and pastures should be protected with fire guards. Hazards that might cause fires should be eleminated.

Glass bottles may start fires. They act as a magnifying glass and when the sun's rays reach the proper angle, almot any bottle may concentrate the heat from the sun enough to ignite dry grass.

Trash should be burned hi. a closed incinerator and no fire should be started that -cannot be controlled. Everyone should be on the lookout for fires and report them_ if found. A small fire can usually be put out before it has a chance to spread but if unchecked, it may soon be out of control.

The Council urges communities and rorinty groups to organize for the specific purpose of fighting grass fires. They believe the local neighborhood groups should be coordinated on a community and county basis so that if necessary, an effective fighting force could be gotten together in the shortest possible time in case of a major fire. All equipment should be inventoried si no

Wedneaby, :dej,ternber 11, 195'7 time would be lost in getting the right equipment to the fire.

The old adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", is certainly applicable. Make fire prevention your business, urges the council.

• eta • ( GOOD CITIZENS For each of the past two years, a food chain association has conducted a national competition among 10,000 super market managers and has singled out the 12 who made the highest scores as "Good Citizens."

The purpose of the competition is to recognize and encourage good citizenship and community leadership at the grass roots level. The program has been cited by the Freedoms Foundation and other organizations for constructive achievement.

This year's winners reprAented a good cross-section of the whole country — from California to New York, and from West Virginia to Minnesota.

The honor they received is a high one, and they are deserving of congratulations. But there is a deeper significance to this than the well-merited recognition of a dozen fine citizens. That significance , is that the chain stores—like all other kinds of retailing—are an asset to the modern community, and are vitally concerned with community progress and betterment.

This is not because chain store people are any more civic-minded than the rest of us. It is because the progress of the store depends upon the progress of the town. If the town goes ahead, the store will go ahead. If the town goes backward, the store goes backward.

The store manager or store employe whose interest is restricted to just selling goods is doing but part of his job.

The other part is to help the town progress so the store can progress. )• •( Copies of the 1957 cotton defoliation g uide for Texas are now available at the offices of county agents or from the Agricultural Information Office, College Station, Texas.

VES

Thirty Days Dt. (CONTINUED) By the tour schedule we were supposed to have lodging at Hotel Evropa at Fopradu, but it happened again that we didn't get to, because the rooms were taken by the group from Chicago. This time we were sent to spend the at Grand Hotel at Stary Smokovec. We arrived here way after dark and were more than ready to go to our rooms and get a good nights rest. The Cedok Grand Hotel is situated above extensive woodland Tatranska Lomnice in one of the most beautiful cli p vatic health resorts in Czechoslovakia. The Hotel lies on the southern slope of the High Tatras in the midst of ever green woods .This hotel is one of the best hotels in Czechoslovakia. Confortable lounges, cafe, restaurant and rooms.

June 20: Right after breakfast, we all boarded the bus and started out to 'Tatranske Lomnice, one of the most beautiful places in the Tatras. Here tickets were bought to ride in a cable car to the top of Lomnicky Stit. Midway there is a stop where passengers are transfered to another cable car (only fifteen can ride in a car from ? ? ? on.)

This time our group was, divided and some didn't go at all to the top of Skalnaty ,Stit (peak of the mountain). It was lots of fun riding a cable car and this was the first time for me. By looking' at the rocky cliffs, it made one wonder if one should attempt this ride because it was so steep. When our car arrived at the top half of our group were there, having a wonderful singing merry with that 'Traded" (liquer). We were together for twenty-minutes and the first group were taken back to the stop below. While we were on the Stit, sleet began, to fall so that one had to go inside the building and wait for awhile until the weather cleared. Few minutes later the sun shone and again we ventured out on the rocky cliffs and looked far across the mountains which still had snow on them. We were told beyond this .mountain was Poland. Below us one could see five lakes located on the rocky cliffs which, were beautiful to look at. It really was cool and did it feel good. It's a wonderful feeling to be that high (7860 feet) and to see so many mountains of solid rock, no vegation whatsoever.

It rained all afternoon, therefore; we didn't get to see anything else that day.

We returned to the Grand Hotel once again to spend our second night there.

That evening we were invited by the Sl'oyaks to spend the evening with them. I don't know the name place where we

The Iron Curtain

Mrs. Betty .Jurica went, but us Tex: ms sure were given a grand welcome. A large table was placed around the dance floor and as we entered the musicians would give us a fan fare. Sure, made one feel good to be a Czech and on top of that a "Texan." A Slovak welcomed us with an address and told how glad they all were that we were among' them. Mr. Valcik thanked them for the invitation. and that we also were glad to be with them. That evening was spent dancing, singing and having lots of fun with the Slovaks. I'm sure everyone felt time same way. When the musicians would play, it seemed that they would never quit playing because, they played five selections compared to one in our country. The Slovaks are happy people, singing while dancing and plenty of wine and beer. Everyone went back to the hotel happy and talked of the fun they had.

June 21: That night was spent in Hotel Evropa. in Poprad.

June 22: This day, cold lunches were packed at Hotel Evropa and once again we were our our way. The country scenery was beautiful, as we were traveling through Slovensky raj. About 11:00 o'clock lunch was eaten in the bus so as not to lose time. About noon we stopped in a town and all had good soups and a refreshing drink of beer or hot tea.

All of us walked through this town and once more we were ready to continue on the tour.

About 1:00 o'clock we arrived at Banska Bystrice. This is a beaUtiful city surrounded by Low Tatras, Slovenske Mountains, and Kremnicke Mountains. The first written documents of Banska Bystrice dates in the year 1255. In the 12th and 13th century fort was built. Here are two churches, city hall, etc. Today there is a museum in the fort. Here are stored Slovakian documents, pottery, clothes of the 12th century, coins; furname, paintings and many religious statues that date to the year 900. The statues, were hand carved from wood, all clone by hand. Most of them are carved out of one piece of wood and the statue consists of several characters. Its beyond believing how anyone can carve such an artistic statue from one piece.

Here several of us went shopping. The first thing everyone was buying were fresh cherries, mad are they good when they are freshly picked. My sister and I took a walk around the towns square, and admired the .merchandise in the display windows. Everything is so differently displayed, that it is lots of fun, just looking. By 3 o'clock we all board-

(Ted the bus again and this tine in the direction of Shoe. It was only a short drive to this location. We arrived here about 4 o'clock and it wasn't long that a thunder storm blew in. It rained, lightened and thundered rest of the evening.

F;liac lies in the beautiful country side of central Slovakia at the conjunction of wooded slopes and the valley of the river Hron, between Zvolen and Banska Bystrice at an altitude over 1100 ft. It is surrounded by mountain ridges on all sides, on the North by the Low Tatras on the west by the Great Tabras and the Krernenicke Mts., on the south by the Stiavnice Hills and on the east by the Slovak Ore Mountains.
