Strang 13

Thirty Days Behind The Iron Curtain (CONTINUED) Late at night we arrived at Gothwaldova (Zlin) at Hotel Moskva. When you hear the Czechoslovakia shoe-making industry mentioned, the name of Gothwaldov- Zlin appears as an echo. An. Interesting industrial center with high buildings, surrounded by parks. The site of the studio of Czechoslovakia animated puppet films. It is a modern city, with large buildings (Modem).

June 25. We all had a chance to shop at a shopping center in Gothwaldova.

We all were up bright and early and were when the stores opened their doors.

I bought a pair of shoes (Sandals with cylon mesh and leather). Cylon is material similar to our nylon, a very popular material in Czechoslovakia. At this shopping center everything was obtainable if one desires to .buy.

From Gothwaldov our next stop was Luhacovic. We arrived here about 10:30 a. in.,. here also we had a chance to shop and brouse around in the shops.

Luhacovice spa, the most beautiful and largest of Moravian spas, lies on the border between Moravia and Slovakia, One of the areas in which the folk-costume traditions of Czechoslovakia have been preserved. It rests at the foot of the White Carpathian Mountains, among beautiful forests, at an altitude of 950 feet, above sea level. A wide belt of Coniferous and foliage' trees gives Luhacovice air it characteristic fragrance. It is known as the "Valley of peace and health."

The first reference to the spa are from the year 1668. The spa grew gradually, new springs were discovered and exploited. At the beginning of the 20th century the spa was rebuilt according to the plan of the Architect D. Jurkovic, who used native Wallachian folk motifs in the designs of the museum buildings.

Before and after the second World War many modern spa buildings were erected and a new beautiful colonnade was built.

The natural wealth of Luha.covice includes., in addition to one sulphur spring, 10 alkaine hydrochloric mineral water springs. The modern inhalation institute is one of the best of its kind in Europe. The spa is sought out by patients from all over the world.

After seeing the spa we had lunch at Hotel Alexandria. Right after lunch we departed for Brno. We stopped at Uherske Hradiste where several got out and bought poppy seed, and prune kolaches, olso "Praded".

We arrived at Brno, at 5:30 that

By Mrs. Betty Jurica

remark he made was that I resembled my aunt Pepina, in Prague„ several others told me the same thing. I remember Grandfather Holasek real well and the resemblance still is in the Holasek fa mily.

Right after lunch, we caught a tr4in. to Kyjov. It is about a two hour ride.

Riding these trains is a great experience and also I found out that we bought tickets for the wrong train. You see, there are two trains-rychlik (fast train) and the ordinary (slow train). So here we had to dish out twenty-one crowns, more. Anyway it was lots of fun.

As we arrived in Kyjov, my cousins' husband, Mr. Oldrich Krejci met us. course with all the luggage, coats, hats etc., we were well loaded and Oldrich told us to leave the luggage at the station and later he would get it. So we started out to their place. Few feet from th,e station, father pointed out where he lived just before departing feE U. S. A. in 1909. The house is in pgri feet condition and I'm sure it brought memories to him. On, down one street, and another, he pointed out to us thd buildings. One was the Sokol building and the other gymnasia ,school) where he went to school. One never forgets these wonderful memories.

My cousin lives in a moderate apartment of three rooms and bath, several blocks from the city square. Kyjov /Ms a population of 7,000. It is much largeF than I expected and I liked it very much. That night, we all got invited to supper to a friend of my father whore he met in 1948, a family by the name of Chytil. This family is very lovable and did everything to make our stay in Ki;4joy very pleasant.

Friends like this aren't found ever day and yet in a far off country, they are so sociable and friendly. MX% Chytil is a jeweler and she works in a bakery, (what delicious pastries she can make).

Everytime we would stop by the bak . y, she would always have ,a special pas saved for us. Oh! What goodies, but the calories have to be counted and one to go 'easy on the whipped cream, nix chocolate, cherries, etc.

evening. As our bus made' a stop at The. Grand Hotel at Brno, a group of you sters gathered and wantedchevaing gum (a specialty there). Of course by now,, all of us gave all of the chewing gum away to other youngsters all along the tour.

One of the best equipped hotels in Brno is the Grand Hotel. It serves predominantly as a centre for foreign visitors, and with regard to this extensive adaptions have 'also been carried out during the last few months, which will be continued further. But even to-day the Grand Hotel with its equipment and all round service can satisfy the most particular visitors.

The extensive building of the Grand Hotel is in the immediate neighborhood of the main railway station, does not, at first sight, attract one's special . attention.

Brno is an indusrial Centre; and industry is a factor which makes this second largest city of CZeChoslo yakia exceptionally important in the field of economy. Brno hoWever, also a- city of very old history concealing with in its heart a series of highly valuable historical and miltura memorias. It is a city of powerful creative efforts of its inhabitants, building not only a new city but new life for themselves as well.

The • population of Brno is 300,000.

Supper was served to us in one of the special dining rooms. Here Mr. Skrabanek (of Houston) was honored, as this was his birthday and all sang "Happy Birthday". It also was a pleasure to meet and old friend, now Prof.

Karel Gain. Prof. Gain toured the United States in 1938-39 as a Czech exchange student from Czelchoslovakia. One never knows, where one will meet of riend and in a foreign country on top of that.

He is married and has two children. He has many frienda here in Texas and and is an author of a book "Cesky student ye spojenYch .Statech".

On this day, my parents, sister and I parted from the group. This morning, I had a young lady at the •hotel desk to make me an appointment in a beauty TO BE CONTINUED shop..

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK ONLY TODAY IS OURS Loyalty To Our Order What snail we wish for this day? of Nothing that will bring pain or privaAlan to our fellow men, but only the prime necessities, and those few priceless things that will help us radiate more of the splendor of life.

One of our first and most manifest duties is to be cheerful ourselves in a most effectual contribution to the good spirits of others. If possible we shall try to be happy today, realizing that tomorrow never comes, that we live perpetually in the here and now.

We will not dwell upon past unhappiness, which would avail us nothing and beget us little but grief. Neither will we Compare past with present joys, to the detriment of the present ones, or 'else 'we let the sorrows and longings of by gone days embitter the present congenial hour.

We will not cry out in rebellion discontent at our lack of freedom. Only the selfish and useless are entirely free, or fancy themselves to be. He who is worth anything in this world is bound to his fellows by a hundred chains.

We will not be discouraged if the way up is slow, sa long as we are rising. To be climbing, that is the thing!

We will not be utterly cast down if, a shadow appears in our pathway, nor will we lose faith. A cloud cannot cast a ii.adow unless the sun is shinning beyond it.

We will not make too heroic resolutions, beyond our strength to perform, Jest they become but shameful memories.

We will try by words and deeds to show a livelier appreciation of the good that comes our way. A. thankful heart magnifies the joy of every blessing. We: will be careful not to underestimate op Portunities and conditions that are ours in comparing them with what may seem more desirable.

We will strive to cultivate more intelligently the art of giving, and to understand the truth that what we keep we lo&o; what we spend is •only an exchange

conamodities but what we give away remains ours forever.

We promise ourselves that each day of this year shall be the, fresh beginning of a better and truer life.

We will not repeat a pledge to abstain from wrong; we shall leave the words unspoken and do only that which is right.

We will watch our step. We cannot journey without leaving footprints, and others will follow the way, we have trod, because we have , marked a path.

Most of all, we will. be faithful to those we love, and to those who have reposed their trust in us. If peace of mind be the only reward, we shall never ask for more )

Will You Be Able To Turn The Farm Over To The Boys?

Someday, your boys will want to take over the farm. When that day comes, they probably will have •small children and, large expenses, just like you do now.

It ig only natural that they will want the extra income full farm ownership gives. In order for them to take over the farm while you are still alive, you and your wife will need more income than the boys could afford to pay in rent or installments on the purchase of the farm. If you take out a life insurance plan now, it will pay you a regular income to fill the :gap s between what your boys can pay and what you and your wife will need to live on. ) • 49 * ( CORRECTION TO ENNIS!

"A great American, who has passed into the beyond, is credited withaying, `I would rather than all else,%41at it should be said of me when I act gone that I plucked the thorn and the thistle from the pathway of my fellowman wherever I could and planted a flower wherever I found a flower would grow.'

'That noble sentiment pulsates with the essence of true fraternalism; of true brotherhood. He who aids his fellowman and, helps to smooth his nathway, lays hold upon, the higher meaning of life and solves the mystery of htapiness. The man who helps to make life worthwhile for his neighbor, makes life worthwhile for himself.

"So, we who follow the exalted precepts of our fraternal order should continue to pluck the thistle and the thorn from the path of our fellows whenever we can, and plant instead blooms of cheering words and helpful deeds. For we shall not pass this way again.

My years with you have in the main, been very pleasant, During all the time, the membership has been intensely loyal. They have never sought to evade their responsibilities. You, at all times, have as fraternalists, stood by the Organization. You did 'not seek shelter when signs of disturbance were in evidence.

You did not desert or go to the rear, when we net with opposition but came to the front and added: confidence to those who were united with us in this great work.

"My heart is wrapped up on the success of the Grand Old Order and I hope for its future success. As long as I live I will have its welfare in mind and will still labor for its upbuilding. And when the last day comes and I place any hand in that of the silent boatman and pre pare to sail across the bar, I will still be thinking of this Order and its loyal and steadfast members." ) • 4„ • (___.

Vt8TNIK — WEST, TEXAS

THE FRATERNAL SIDE OF OUR SPJST Each year the National Fraternal Congress asks that we set aside one week in which to glorify and promote our endeavor, in a small way, to show you just what that Fraternal System can mean to us as citizens and human beings as well as Fraternalists.

As each of you cast your /1-And's eye back over your activities as Fraternalists, there are none but will acknowledge that the Fraternalists have played a part in your lives — some to a greater, and some to a lesser degree, but nevertheless all have felt their influence.

Some of you have been active in this work up to a half-century, many a lesser number of years, and perhaps some are such recent converts that you do not yet realize the part the Fraternals can play in your lives.

I became vitally interested in the Fraternals and for years it was the center of my social activities. Year after year I saw the results of the Fraternal System — saw the young, the middleaged and elderly all rally 'round, vitally interested in the Order and what it stood for. I saw at times as many as three generations of one family gather at the meetings and social activities. It gave our young people a place to gather and meet with their friends, keeping them off the streets; and away from plaCes that would have dulled their mentalities and corrupted their morals. In the past I have heard more than one prominent speaker state that the Fraternals were one of the greatest single factors in existence in keeping down juvenile delinquency.

The Charitable Side Another side of this picture of the value of our Fraternal System is the amount of charitabe work our various Orders have contributed to the welfare of irvankind, for each have vied with the other in aiding the sick, comporting the afflicted, and relieving the distressed — what more can be said of any cause or system'? Homes for the aged conducted for the sole benefit of their members speaks for itself. We will never know the number of homes that have been saved from mortage foreclosures, the many widows and orphans saved from want, or the amount of happiness that has been brought into the hearts of thousands who have been made to rejoice by reason of the inspiration which brought this Fraternal Insurance System into existence. The Fraternals were engaged in Welfare work long before said type of work became ar government project, and today we take our place among the leaders in that line of endeavor.

We have given you an idea of just what our Fraternal System can mean in the, lives of its members, now let us look at it from still another angle, and for a moment discuss its relationship to our government and our Democracy. Our Fraternal Insurance System is a direct outgrowth of Democracy. Its organizations, government, and social functions closely paralled those of'Democracy, and Democracy is today fighting for its very life, beset on all sides by the isms that would tear it down. Fraternalism stands in the foremostranks of its defenders, for it abounds with the spirit of loyalty and patriotism. Through its local lodges it teaches citizenship, love of country tolerance and a deep -understanding of American ideals, not only in this time of upheaval, but for over a century in the past.

Today we constantly hear the so-called patriotic organizations boast of their beginnings and what they stand for, but we challenge any, or all, to show .a finer heritage than that enjoyed by our Fraternal System. But * we must be ever alert, for there are many factors busily trying to tear us down. Indifference on the part of the membership is one factor — another is the gradual falling away of our young people in their attendance at our meetings, due to a. great degree to outside interests more attractive to them in this post-war sophisticated era which seems to have swept the country.

we have placed too much stress in. Fraternalism, and our future depends upon using more or less commercial tactics and methods. I concede that we need such methods, but not to the detriment of Fraternalism, for Fraternals we were born and Fraternals we must remain if we are to hold our place. More and nibre -of our Fraternals are falling by the wayside and are becoming mutualized, and if we are to save ourselves we must bring back the times when the Lodge Hall was a real Fraternal home, a place made so attractive to our youth that meeting nights will again find then in their lodges, and not in the neighborhood coctail lounges, movie houses or roving the country in the family automobile.

We know you all love your Order 'and if you could but see where you are drifting, not one would arise, make a determined stand and say, "it shall not l5e!"

The commercials shall not make of :us what they desire, for we shall stand firm as the Rock of Gibraltar in making our system so attractive to mankind that `all will be eager to enter out fold, a step, if taken, will never be regretted.

WHEN CHANGING OUR ADDRESS USE THIS COUPON Supreme Lodge, Box 400, Temple, Texas.

I am asking you to change my addr s9 Some of the fault lies within the walls of our Lodge Halls, so let us take stock of The Herald (Vestnik) as follows: of ourselves as Fraternalists — right My new address is: about face and make a determined afore to bring back the good old days of largely attended meetings and social ac tivities. But the greatest battle ahead of us, and one in which we should all take an active part in, is the undermining of our System by our opponents, the Com- My old address: munists, who are becoming more and more aware of us through our inroads in their sales records are out to crush us. We have an excellent example of this in the fate of our recent effort to pass constructive legislation. Our ever watchful Opponents, learning of our intentions, retaliated with a vicious Tax belong to Lodge No. Bill, which if passed would have done untold harm to our Fraternals.

Fraternally, We have told you of our beginnings, and our present, but what of our future?

"Teenagers" In the last issue of the Vestnik we had a picture of the Teenagers of Linden Hall at their last dance before school.

Mrs. Korinek, one of the chaperones reported, that nearly 200 of the Teen agers were present. They plan to have one dance each month while school is in session.

We have been present at several of these Thursday .evening dances and can truthfully say, that the young folks al ways behaved themselves in an orderly fashion. We described their conduct once before in the Vestnik and this is Only to thank the Teen-Agers Committee for their fine efforts.

It is our sincere wish that other lodges would follow the example of Lodge 66, and we are certain that it "would be for their own good as well as the gcod of our fraternity. ) '1' 4 ♌ ( Clothes Call: A clothing store received this letter from a. lady who had ordered a maternity dress. "Dear Sirs: Please cancel my order for a dress size 41, which you were supposed to deliver. My delivery was faster than yours."

Let Us Be Fraternal The slogan for the Public Relations is, "Be Fraternal." We hope every member will let this slogan sink deeply into hie heart and let it guide his actions throughout the entire year.

To truly "Be Faithful" one must conskier others first. He must ask himself `How will this act that I am about to do affect my brother?' He must consider not only his family and his Council but his city, his state, and his nation. He must consider his actions even as they effect the whole world.

To, truly "Be Fraternal" one must not deny protection to his family. He must fail to attend Council meetings and do a full share of hte work. He must not overlook an opportunity to serve his community and his state or province. He must do nothing that might in any way :help to make world understanding difficult or world peace impossible.

Can you "Be Fraternal?" Can you forgive and forget real or fancied insults?

Can you remove overweening pride from . your.. life and be fair and even humble. in your dealings with your fellows?

Can you extend the hand of fellowship to those whom you have heretofore avoided or suspected?

Well — anyhow -- we can all try, cant we?

So let's all "Be Fraternal" in the best way we know how. Let's think of the other fellow and his problems. Let our words be temperate, our actions charitable and our efforts all tuned to unity. Then we will "BE FRATERNAL." ) • 4 •(

Vt8TN1K—WEEED,7112rALI Every time I hear that familiar expression, I think about Frances. A sociable woman with an inquiring mind, Frances had lived in a number of American cities and in one foreign country.

She knew hundreds of people. She read widely. As a companion and conversationalist, Frances was in a class by herself.

When I met her, she was living alone in a very small town. Her next-door neighbor was a pleasont, gossipy homebody with few interests outside her own community. Yet she and Frances were close friends. They went bargain-hunting together. They also spent hours in each others' kitchens, drinking coffee and chatting — about what, I don't know.

One day someone remarked to Frances that she and Havel certainly hadn't much in common. "Good heavens, why not?" demanded Frances. "We are both grandmothers, we both like people.

And we are both human!"

From varied experience, Frances knew that one touch of nature really does "make the world kin." When meeting others, she looked first for likeness — not differences. Lonely? Try it! )• 4 ° (

Joe B. Hejny ° )• An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.

• • There are people who roll out the pull it carpet for you one day and -out from under you the next,

From the Vestnik Calendar, you will notice that some of our SPJST Lodges over Texas are sponsoring a great many worthwhile projects in the months to come; projects,that should draw large crowds of adult's as well as youth.

From some of the pro-grams already presented in some of these Lodge projects, the Youth programs were so wonderful that they could easily be called ,,professional. It took a great deal of thought, time and effort on the part of the Program Committee as well as the mother's of the children participating, to present the proper atmosphere for some of these numbers. Some of the costumes alone for the individual numbers must have run into tidy sums of money. Some parents even provided the background music for their children's number so that the number will be effective and add to the enrichment and enjoyment o fthe program. The SPJST is very proud of its talented ybuth in our various lodges and is grateful to the Program Committees and parents of participants for their time; money and effort, for we can well see the labor involved behind each program.

The only disagreable situation in this pleasant picture is the bad manners on the part of some of the adult audience, who sometimes are prone to talk loud among themselves, thus making it im, possible for the performers to be heard above the din of private entertainment going on while the program is being presented. Even with the help of the microphone, which most lodges use regularly, the soft voices of the youngsters simply cannot be heard over the noise created by thoughtless visitors.

AS we develop our cultural accomplishments in our lodges, it is also proper that we repair our manners. Things that we learned at our mother's knee, so to speak, just plain good manners, are sometimes overlooked and mar the perfection of our celebrations.

We saw such an icident at a recent meeting, where until the refreshment bar was closed over the remainder of the program the din was so terrific, that the p ro g ram came to a halt. This is indeed very re grettable. Most lodges close the refreshment bar, and kitchen during the programs. Thirty minutes before the program is to start, the Lodges simply announce that the areas will be closed. for the duration of the program. This works out very nicely and all the visitors, the aunts, uncles, parents and. the grandparents who often make a long trip to see the family "darling" perform, can enjoy the program in quietness.

'They were out a great deal of expense, time and effort to come and they spent a lot more money while there with the local lodge, so why not give them their money's worth. For those who cannot )\iait to chatter, why not go outside?

The Vestnik feels, that it is our duty to all attention to this defect as it may lave other programs from the same embarrassment and we hope that the Program Committees will keep this point in mind when arrangements are plan7,1ed, so that their children will put on memorable performance for their Lodge and District in the right kind of tmosphere. Remember, we are setting she example for them. 'thanks for remembering oul wellmeantwords. `ME EDITOR ) • 4, • 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.

Everyone agreed that the contest was very beneficial in that it brought us all closer together in our striving to outsell the other group as well as writing up some valuable insurance fot our fraternity.

It also'made one group admit that this contest was riot the "gravy train" for them they first thought. Confession is good for the soul, they say, so, it made everyone feel good to know that this group did meet with Some stiff competition from the rest.

VEST N I IC — WEST, TEXAS.

To Our Youth From Your Editor It seems to Me that I have given the Youth Program considerable time and attention. I am not insinuating that I am tiring of it, "as I assure you that my heart is in it and I am very much interested that you would take the place in our ranks as we are one by one dropping out of the picture, but it seems to me that some of you could give this matter more serious consideration. By that I I mean, that since this movement concerns you, some of you should from time to time give, us some encouragement not only to the ones that are sponsoring this new movement, but to your own ranks In other words, to be just plain, each issue of the Vestnik could or should have a letter from some one of *you.

Please understand that I am not trying to boss you but if you do really appreciate the Vestpik's efforts, you could at least show it from time to time.

THE EDITOR )

Introspection To get his goodnight kiss he stood Beside my chair one night And raised an eager face to me, A face with love alight.

And as I gathered in my arms The son God gave to me, I thanked the lad for being good, And hoped he'd always be.

His little arms crept 'round my neck, An.d then I heard him say Four simple words I shan't forgit — Four words that make me pray. `They turned a mirror on my soul, On sacrets no one knew.

'They startled me, I hear them yet; He said, "I'll be like you."

On that day, with us were officers of the Supreme Lodge, the Editor, and officers and members from other Lodges and Districts, such as Houston, Fort !Woth and Waco. That proves true fraternal love. May our close relation be for many years to come.

We also owe thanks to one of our. Dal, ,counatihnen, Mr. Tom Unisi who spoke to us and told the members how proud the city is to have such wonderful . Wizens in the Czech people, and at the same time stating what a wonderful (record our people have.

To our Cormonittees'- that worked so

hard to have everything in order for the opening, all our members, the ball club, teen-agers, and many friends who spent many hours of hard. work and effort to help complete our Lodge home, we also offer our thanks.

Certainly not to be forgotten are our older members, who gave our younger generation an opportunity to 'modernize and enlarge our home. Their advance thinking and help is what made Lodge 84, what it is today.

For myself and all members of Lodge 84, I want to thank each andeveryone who had part in helping with our building program, and at the same time, I want to thank each • and - everyone who helped celebrate our opening two-day celebration.

For Lodge 84, I invite you as members of SPJST from all over Texas to bring friends with you when you come to our Lodge.

We again want to thank all of you for what you have done for us.

That big -dinner held- at Teinple, Saturday, Sept. 14th turned out to be a big inspiring success for the benefit , of our entire SPJST fraternity. The winning District Organizers, Skrabanek and Vrla should be very much complimented not only for being winners, but for their splendid Fraternal spirit demonstrated.

Vistead of bragging on their personal achievements in their own Districts, they congratulated us all for our efforts and . seemed to be rather happy and proud that our entire SPJST has written about a million and one half in new insurance during the first eight :months of this, our 60th anniversary y1r : That really is a record for our . SPJS and we all must adnlit that these contests have nelped. congratulations and Thanks are also justly due to our new State Organizer, Bro. Joe Hejny for his help and coaching. There is no one like us District Orzanizers that know really how much he has done and helped ts achieve our present production record": He is one of those officers that probably does less oratory than others. He actually does not intend, to be an influential speech maker. but he is an honest to goodness sensible diplomatic, work horse and knows exactly how to go about making us Dis-

trict Organizers and local Organizers work and get the job done.

We now have . only a little over three months left in this 60th anniversary year to make our "Goal To Double Our Sales."

We certainly cannot afford to let down now. It is very much necessary that every member and Orzanizer in our entire SPJST work together on this big job of securing some good new members.

We need only to sell about one million more of new insurance and we will have it made.

I am making a special appeal to members and organizers in District No. 7 to go to work. It would* make me feel very unhappy if our District 7 would fail to do its part. There are many thousands of good people in District 7 that should have the privilege of becoming members in the SPJST. Lets get at least a 100 of them in before the end of the year. If we don't get them in, we will be too late and somebody else will have them sold,.

Alth,ough we have been working steadily along,: its been a long time since word has been sent out about our activities --infittpa:4,o let everyone know what we have beftrindoing and plan to do in the fu-

ajTtcp, bogin with let us resume the remit 1GyranaStic meeting held in Chiown Although most of you know the 013;k0-Fc4P of the meet already, due to the faal,nkliat it was one of the most widely aodialmed meets to be held in recent year:s ina well attended meet by Sokols g3 ,aver the c9untry and With everyone haivMg a marvelous time. Texas Sokols were .well represented and as most of you 4.4plirinDallas' Karl. Von Hulst won sec-

and place in themen's high division and John Kebrdle won first place in the 100 yard dash, with Joe Ehrenberger winning third in the men's high division and Eddie Parma placing fourth in the junior boys. We would like everyone to know we too are proud of these boys.

Since summer vacations are over, our young gymnast are regularly attending classes again and everyone is hard at work building these young American Sokols. Junior groups are a little slow right now but we hope to see them working enthusiastically in the future Our men's division is always hard at work and really show us some gymnastics.

Other activities have been in progress too, several plays have been presented and greatly enjoyed by all who were able to see them. Our Sokol presented a program prior to the gymnastic meet at Chicago, so those of us who did not go got a preview in Dallas. One of those who did attend the meet, will be showing films taken while there, so that we may see some of the things we missed.

The most recent news not yet known to all, our Dallas Sokol has purchased as tract of land near Vickery Park, with plans in the aniaking for a new and modern gym to be built there. Almost everyone in the surrounding -cities and even some from farther distant cities know this location.

This is a centrally located site and easily accessable to Dallasites as well as 'those from surrounding cities. It caught between two modern thoroughfares, by Loop "12P on one side and Central Express or highway 75 on the other, these thoroughfares do not adjoin the property itself but are just far enough away so as to help us reach our destination quickly and easily yet, do not hamper our campus.

We will have a very large parking area and there is, already on the property, grown trees, sufficient for making a wonderful picnic area. The facilities of this new location will be available to all interested persons. For those who may want a place for meetings of other indoor activities, we plan this to be an air-conditioned building. The floor space proper will be at least as large as a regulation basket ball court, in addition, separate rooms for meetings and for small children. A large stage for plays and, programs is also included in our plans. There also is room for outdoor activities other than the picnic grounds.

Our plans and hopes are big, may it be God's will that we can fulfill them.

Planned for the immediate future, will be a play this fall, name and date not now available. Notices of other plans now brewing will be sent as soon as

nesday, Sep{ nnber 25, 1957 they become more complete.

Our sincere greetings to all.

JOY ONDRUSEK ) • 4* • SOKOL FORT WORTH Dear Brothers and Sisters: Just a note to let everyone know of the activities and news at T. J. Sokol in Fort Worth.

The big news around the Hall, of course, is .the recent marriage of Jerry Milan and Miss Henrietta Banfi of Chicago. Jerry and Henrietta were married September 15 in St. Michael's Church in Chicago. We understand the wedding was lovely too. The bridal 'attendants wore mint green princess-styled dresses and carried fan-shaped bouquets of mums. Henrietta,'s dress was, the ,ladttional white sprinkled with seed pearls and had a long train. Included in the wedding from Fort Worth were Mary, Jean Renfro and Fred lVferlick. There will be a wedding shower Sunday, Sept. ember 29 at the Fort Worth Sokol Hall for the couple starting at 5:00 p. m.

Good food and music for dancing are on the agenda and everyones invited to come and meet the bride anctoffer their congratulations.

As for the more general news, school has, of course, started and everyone is settling down to digging into those books and burning the midnight oil.

Football is the main topic of conversation at the Hall, whether it be college, high school, junior high or backyard.

We have it in our midst one cheerleader, Donna Rose Steinman at St. Thomas School, one majorette, Brenda Krivanek at Elder Junior High and one "pro" football player, John Thompson who plays with the TCU Pee WEE Squad which entertains during the TCU half times. In addition, everyone is a fan and everyone is sure that their school will win the conference.

All of the youngsters at the Hall are looking forward to the Children's Competition to be held in Ennis on October 20. They are all working ver y hard each Tuesday evening to learn their drills so that they can bring house some medals and trophies. This will be the first competition for most of the children and they are all quite excited about it. As of now, we are anticipating fifty entries between the ages of three and twelve years of age from the Hall.

We want to thank the nice' people at Linden Hall in Elm. Mott for the good, time we had at the District Meeting held there recently. We thoroughly enjoyed dancing the Beseda for them in their lovely new hall. Incidentally, for those that were not present, our Beseda dancers included Mary Jean Renfro, Donna

Wednesday, September 25, 1957 BUCEK REUNION HELD The descendants of Charles and Barbara Bucek met in Schtdenberg in Wolters Park on Sept. 1st, with a good attendslice.

Dinner was prepared by the officers.

The children and their wives were their guests. The dinner consisted of beef, mutton and chicken barbecue with all the trimmings to make the meal appetizing.

At 2 p.m. Roy Bucek, Jr., owner of the family the Schulenburg locker plant a rid president of the famkly organiza-

r tion, called the meeting together and the song "America" was first on the program. The minutes of the 1945 meeting were read; that meeting was also held in Schulenburg.

Waco and Dallas was the greatest distance that family members traveled to the meeting. Houston furnished the most members and San Antonio and Corpus Christi were well represented.

After the preliminaries, F. K. Bucek was called on to present his program Rose Steinman, Joyce Hubenak, Bernard Prochaska, Jerry Milan, Gordon Cole and yours truly. We also enjoyed the good food and we had a wonderful time at the dance that night.

We are also teaching the Beseda to our younger members at our drilling classes on Tuesday nights. They will perform for the celebration at Lodge 92 in Fort Worth on October 20.

I must close now and get back to work as the lunch hour is almost past.

Awfully kind, I think, of the boss to let me use his typewriter to write to the Vestnik. If I keep trying, who knows, I may make a "Czechoslovak" out of him.

Vt STNiK — WEST, TEXAS which consisted of a tree with ten branches, each branch signifying a child.

There were ten children in the Charles Bucek family, so there were ten branches. The two living family members were signified by a red carnation and the deceased members with a white carnation. Two of the limbs had a white carnation, in memory of Jim Bucek and Alfons Reznicek. Ed. Bucek, Oskald Kubjock and J. J. Maresh had one of each color. Secretary Bucek explained the meaning of the tree Milton Micalka called the roll of children. F. K. Bucek and his wife of Hallettsvile were there, but Ed. Bucek was not there, so Candice Bucek, daughter of Chas. Bucek, pinned a white carnation, and so it went until all the children were read. Each time a white carnation was placed on the tree, Prof. Joe Schwartz stood and commented on the deceased, giving the life history of the deceased.

The following Bucek family members are missing: Ed. Bucek and son, Albert, Jim Bucek and wife, Emma, Nancy Renicek and husband, J. J. Maresh, and Oswald Kubicek and son, Jerome.

In the picture above, little Candice Bucek places a white carnation on the tree.

It was voted to let the officers name the place and time to hold the next reunion. Roy Bucek was, re-elected President; Fred: Miculka, Vice President; Milton Miculka; Secretary and George Bucek, Treasurer. ) PLEASE TAKE NOTICE The Vestnik will gladly publish announcements of family reunions if ynU will give us the date, place of reunion and names of families concerned, 117 time.

Sincerely, Cindy Sue Sebetke •( THE BIRD WITH. THE GOLDEN GIZZARD — OLD CZECH FAIRY TALE There was once a poor man who had a large family. He was so poor that he had noining to feed the children. For three days they had no food. On the third day as the father was out cutting osiers, (a kind of williw tree of which the twip',s , are used in making baskets or furniture), he saw, sitting in a bush a small bird that shone like gold.

"If I could snare that bird," he thought to himself, "and take it home, the children would be amused and perhap4 forget their hunger."

So he caught the bird and carried it home and, sure enough the children were,so delighted that for two days they didn't cry for food.

On the third day the bird laid a golden egg. The oldest boy took the egg to the goldsmith to sell it. The goldsmith examined it and said: "I don't believe

VESTNiK -- WEST, TEXAS I have money enough to buy this egg."

"Just give me some br( ad," the boy said. "That will be enough.- The goldsmith gave him two loaves of bread, one under each arm, and filled his pockets with gold ducats. So for once the whole family had all it could eat and still there was money left over.

Two days later the bird laid another golden egg which the boy carried to the gold smith and sold for the same price.

Now the goldsmith had a son who said he would like to see this wonderful bird.

So he went home with the boy. He looked the bird over very carefully and under its wings he discovered an inscription that no one else had seen. This inscription read: "Whoever eats my heart v,V1I become king. Whoever eats my gizzard will find under his head each morning a heap of golden ducats."

The youth went home and told his father about the strange inscription.

They talked the matter over and at last decided that it would be well for the young man to marry the poor man's oldest daughter providing he could get the golden bird as dowry.

The goldsmith went to see the girl's father and after some ,dbicussion the marriage was arranged.

The wedding day arrived. The bridegroom 'ordered the bird to be roasted and ready to be put on the table when the bridal party came home from the church. It was his intention to eat the heart himself and have his bride eat the gizzard.

The children of the family cried bitterly at the thought of losing their pretty bird, but the bridegroom of course, had his way.

Now two of the boys stayed home from the wedding and they decided that they would like very much to taste the roast bird it only they could find a piece that nobody would miss. They did not dare take a leg or a wing, but they thought it would be safe to pick out a morsel from the inside. So one boy ate the heart, and the other the gizzard.

Then they were so frightened at what they had done that they ran away and never came back.

When the bride ands groom returned from the church, the bird was carried to the table. The groom looked at once for the heart and the gizzard and was greatly shocked at their disappearance.

The two boys who had gone out into the world found work with a merchant.

They slept together and every morning the merchant's wife found a heap of golden ducats under the feather bed.

She didn't know to which boy they belonged, She took them and saved them for a whole year until they filled a hogshead.

Wednesday, September 25, 1957 At the end of a year the boys deceided to go out again into the world. The merehan4) showed them all the ducats his wife had foUnd in their bed and said to them: "Take with you as many as you want now and when you come back you may have the rest."

The brothers parted company arm each set out alone, the one to the left, the other to the right.

The younger brother came to a tavern. The landlady had two daughters who were &o sharp at sards that they very soon won all the money ha ltd.

When he was picked clean he asked them to stop playing until they, next morning when he would again have plenty of money.

Sure enough ire. the morning when he got up he had all the money lie wanted.

The girls asked him where it came from and he told them. When they heard ,about the gizzard he had sWallowect, they put something into his wine tht.i. made his sick at his stomach and hl threw up the gizzard. The younger girl instantly snatched it, wasried it, and swallowed it herself. Then as he had no more money they drove the poor boy. away.

As he wandered in the fields he grew. very hungary. He came, to a meadow where lie found a kind of sorrel that he ate, As soon as he ate . it he turned. into a goat and Went junping around the bushes nibbling at the leaves. He chaneed to eat a kind of leaf that changed him back into himself.

"Ah," he thought, "now I know what to do."

He picked some of the sorrel and some of the other leaves and went straight back to the tavern. He told them that he was bringing them a present of a new kind of spinach that tasted very good. They asked him would he cook it for them.

The cook tasted it and at once she turned into a goat. The serving maid came into the kitchen and when she saw a goat there she drove it out.

The youth asked the maid would she like to taste the new spinach. She tasted it and immediately she turned into a goat. Then when the landlady and het two daughters tasted it they, too. turn" in goats.

He fed the cook and the serving maid some of the other leaves and they turned back into themselves. But the other three he left as goats.

He made halters for them and then he hitched them up and drove away.

He drove on and on until he came to a town where the king was building himSelf a castle. Now this king was his brother who had eaten the magic bird's

Wednesday, September '25, 1951 heat. The king's workmen were hauling stone for the new castle, so he decided to put his goats to work hauling stone.

He loaded his cart heavier than all the other carts.

The king noticed him and recognized him and asked him where he got those goats. So he told the king the whole story. The king thought the goats had been punished long enough and begged his brother to have pitty on then:, and restore them. He took the king's advice and did so.

When they were once more human beings, he married the girl who had swallowed the golden gizzard. They soon became very rich, for every morning there was a heap of golden ducats under her head.

Just wondering who will be next to send your Editor a short letter about the stories that we have inserted for our young friends? — Do you like them?

Can you read them by yourselves? Or does your Mama read them to you? — Will you let me know?

Thanks!

Charm, then, is outer reflection of inner thought and feeling. It is in your quick handclasp, your ready smile; it i.e in the sympathy for the sufferer in your eyes. It is in the gentleness of your hands; the soothing quality of your voice; the guiet, dignified understanding of the sick's complaints.

No woman in contact with the public, whether the ill or the healthy, can be tops in her profession without it. To those in the nursing profession it is triply important; for not only will it endear you to co-workers, patient, visitors, but it spells success and the utmost satisfaction to you personally. ) • 4, • It's fishing time, when young night crawlers are out on the lawn looking for the same thing.
