ProC mime ueit detipesky?

Prvni odpoved' na tuto otazku ovgem je, ze jest to no g narodni povinnosti.

JakY patch to vlastenec, i kdyby se vlastenectvim sebe vie dokladal a za,klinal, jestli2e john deti matetgtiny jeho vribec neznaji.

Dale staraji-li se rodiee o to, a.by jejich deti se naudily a zdokonalily ye sve =ter:Stine, eini tak nejen v zajmu svych ditek, ale i v zajmu svem vlastnim. Znalost matetske tedi u (let posiluje svazky rodinne, dnes beztak uvolnene, ptipoutava, ditky blue k rodierim a oslabuje neblahY vliv prosttedi, jai easto svarli miade2 na cesty ktive.

Znalost vice feet je v2dy prospegna.

Dries vice ne2 kdy jindy plati stare potekadlo. Kolik feel umig, tolikrat jsi elovekem. V nagi dobe, kdy dopravni prosttedky a ostatni moderni vynalezy celY svet sblizily, zajmy narodu a state jsou tak fine spojeny a zictiteny, znalost vice keel stava se nezbytnosti.

Zvlagte pak v dne gni America, je2 se stala v poslednich desitiletich vedouci mo cnosti svetovou.

V America se potteba znalosti cizich jazykit jiZ velrni silne pocit'uje a velkY ditraz se dues klade na znalost aspori jednoho jineho jazyka. A ptate-li se, jak nejsnadneji Ize si tuto znalost osvojit odpoved' zni, ze nejsnadneji nauei se druhe keel ditko, ktere si zakla,d k ni, tfeba jen rudimentarni, ptineslo z domova, bud' od svych rodieit nebo od kterY se skladal ze smaZenYch kutat, klo uzenek, stejku, meatloafs a vgecky ptichutky,, jako bramborovY salat, sa,rat s tornatamy, okurky, makarony send vide a rune peeivo jako koldee, rohlielry a dorty v geho druhu, ant makove buchty neschazeli, tak ze v geho Jekte zbylo a bra.tia parnatovall aby ZadnY netrpel 212ni. Diky patti v gem, ktet iptinesli tolik pokrme a pomohli v ge ptipravit.

Nemasili, jako kone Pa y ,dch rodien, ve vtedni den vozit zbo--„lo ti z tovarny na iAdraZi. Zalibilt se mu,

ze mu touha po nish ani spat nedala.

Byl tak jimi okouzlen, ze si nepkal nic jineho, netli alespori jedinkeho malounkeho konieka.

Koei, kterY privez1 jeho bratrance, vyzval jej, aby se a nim projel v malem koearku, a ukazal, jab ma bone tidi ti.

Pavel jel mestem, dl.te ()prate, dival se do oken sve babieky a dedeeka, usmival se na vsechny spolulaky a zname, a kdy2 jell mimo dam oteovskYch, volal: "Mann, mann, podivej se na nine, jak ridirn sarn konieky!”

1Viaminka ho neslySela a nepi:ichazela dlouho a Pavel krieel z pina hrdla, pLaCe se mu chtelo, itzkosti, ze ho mamin ka neuvidi na kozliku riditi ponynky, ale uspokojil se ihned a jeho tvarieky zatarn.' raclostnou pYchou, lly2 se maminka objevila, v okrxe a podivila se jeho clospelnsti a jeho stateenosti.

Od to doby veril Pavel, ze nejSt'astnej elovek na svete je koei, nejenom ten, vukterY Hetil ponynky, ale ka2dY bee.

Predehazel si tovarenskeho koeilm_dedeekova, byl St'asten, vzal-li ho na vuz a pajeil mu na chvili oprate a jednou priSel rozradovan, jakoby ohlaSoval nejvetS'i yyznamenami, povedeti mamince, ze koei Martin ma, jeho nejradeji. Katcleho hosta a znameho se vyptaval, mall. kone. A prisvedeil-li, polotil mu noyou otazku: "A mate pinokrevne nebo pinzgavske?"

VymYSIel si kudy chodil, kterak ziskati maleho konieka. Zaprosil tatinka, ten mu ho odtekl. Zaprosil dedeeka, nepochodil lepe. I usmyslil si, ze bude Setrit, davat si krejearky do poklaslnieky at si na nej sari" u:Setri.

Zaeal tim, ze misto rohlik y jedl do k vy chleb a krejcary za rohliky si na mamince vyprosil a uschoval. celeho roku se stalou vrouei nadeji, ze si zakoupi konieka a naSetfil si celYch clese.t kbrun.

Pavel yedel toho ocIpoledne z vyuCovanl malo a nomohi se cloiekati, az zazvoni, at aby rnohl rozbehnout se za tovarnu a prosi kenieka a pozeptat se cikanil nebyl-li by na prodej. Vybelal prvni ze tkoly a betel o prekot mestem k cikCn skema taboru.

Byl podzim, cikani natahli kolem sveho voziku repnou nat', aby nemusill borit na studene zerni. V otevkenern ohne na Spinave, sumenliane slame

A za boudou, a stromu privazanY, pa.s1 se jakYsi malinkY, zakrnelY konieek.

Pavel pristoupil k stare cikance. Srdeeko mu bilo jako na bubinek.

"Prosiin, pant cikanko", pravil Pavel "jdu se ptat, je-li vat malt' konieek ha brodej." eikanka v Catech rortrhanYch na praposy, ohledla se svYma starYma, zkutenYma, &lima po hotkovi a usinala se.

"Vtecko je na prodej.-Ma-'1i je mladY pan hodne penC,,z?"

"Kolik byste tak chtela za toto konieka?"

"Kolik mate penez?" zeptala se ho chytraoky.

"Deset korun," odpovedel stateone Pavel. • Zdalo se mu, to, je to dost velka, sic ma na tab obyeejneho konika cikanskeho. Cikanka se neprestala usmivat. Deset korun ji nevyrutilo.

A maliekY Pavel jette , ritpochopil, Z0 vychytrali lide dovedou vSecho pf.eusmivat, i nenavist i let, i podlot, i askok, "Niko pridate, lie;ku.. a konik bade vat!"

Pavel nemohl pochopit, pros mu Oka "hotku", co je to za podivne slovo "hotha," ale Prot, ze to bylo spojeno s 'viedaavanim o konieka, i to divne slovieko se mu zalibilo .

"Kolik pak byste telly chtela za konieka?" rekl rozpaeite.

"Date-li dvacet korun, konicek bade vaS!" Pavel se zamyslil. Kde pak - vezme jeste tolik pellet. Musil by poprositi 0 pujcku dedeeka, babieku, tatinka, • maminku Jette kolik let nebude jisti rohliky a vkchno jinn to easem splati. Deset ko' run by mu nepajeil nikdo. Ale rozdeli-li \( to na -Oiciany. pi'ece se mu to sejde.

Oeka se mu zablYttela radosti.

"Prinesu yam penize, nodavejte konie ka nikomu jinema, jenom nine, Paviavi Dostalovi. Nikoma jhaemur Cikanka se zasmala, obratila slepici umelem rotni, upravenem ze 'SpYla a dvou cihel, h Pavel rozbebl se do mesta nejprve k dedeekovi.

"Dedeeku, pekne vas prosim, ja. yam sit nikdy nebudu platit slepieky, pttjete mi etyrj k-oruny, splatim vam je Z9, etVrt roku, cikani za mestem prodavaji mi ma.lounkeho konleka."

Dede6ek se chvili vyptaval, sahl do ha psy, zase ruku vyndal (Pavel to vSecko s „dzkosti; poZoroval), ale pak vstal, otev

rel velikou pokladnu a z ni vyndal etyri koruny.

"Ale nezapomeri!" tekl dobracky a Zer tovne. "Za etvrt rOku mi je splatS a slepreky mi nesmiS opravdu plaSit!" Sotva mu je poloZil do ruky, Pavel pre stal myslit na dedeeka, probehl vOemi pokoji a volal: "Babieko, babieko, kde jste, babieko?"

Babieka byla na zahrade, zahrada byla za dverna domy.

"Babieko," volal, "prosim vas, piljote mi dve koruny. Splatim yam je za roku. Mani prodavaji htibatko, chteji za ne dvacet korun a ja moan teprce eirnact."

"A jak mi je splatig ?" ptala se babiaka.

"Splatim, babieko, rohliku nejim, ale neptejte se dloulao a pajete mi d ye koruny."

Babieka nemela s sebou penez, musila domu, po dvou dvorech, po tticeti schodech.

Pavel se ttas1 nedoekavosti, ale sotva mu babieka ptijeila dve koruny, zmizel a jeho rychle krileky po schodech znely drobne a hbite, jakoby hrach rozsypal.

Bezel po namesti do obchodu k tatinkovi.

"Tatinku, prosim vas, neptejte se mno ho, ale piljete mi dye koruny, splatim vam je za tti etvrte roku. Dedeeek babieka pUjaila, chci si koupit hribatko, cikani je prodavaji za dvacet korun."

Hoch byl tak vzru genY, Ce getrny tatinek, kterY by je byl jindy tak lehko nevydal, vytahl ze zasuvky dve koruny a podal je hochovi, si koupit tak lacineho konieka.

Pavel mel osmnact korun a belel jek mamince. Ale maminky nebylo do ma. Hledal ji u tetioky, ale ani tam ji nenakl. Rekli mu, ze je na htbitove, Ze tam gla rozsvitit svetYlko na hrob zemte Mho brattieka.

Hititov leZel na opaonem konci mesta neZli tovarna, za nl se utabotili cikani s opicemi a htibatkem.

Ale Pavel vydal se i na tuto cestu.

Prklo tie a Pavel mel tvatieky jako porosene.

Potkal maminku vracejici se ze htbitova.

"Maminko!" volal s pia:dem, "pro es nejste doma? Cikani mail na prodej konieka, pottebuji posledni dye koruny a vas nikde p eni. PiAjete mi je, prosim vas:, ma minko, konieek stoji dvacet korun a osmnact uZ main. Splatim yam je za rok.

Rok nebudu je gte jisti rohliekil!"

Maminka nespokojila se kratkYm vYkladem. Celou cestu aC k domovu musil ji Pavel vykladat pfihodu s konlekem.

Maminka se starala, aby ho cikani neogidill a nevi -li kuia pragivi;r2 nebo jo-li

Mel jich prave dvacet, tolik, kolik, potreboval, a unavenY uplakanY 1 rozradovanY, Ze si za chvili povede donni hribatko, mileho, teple ciYchajiciho konieka, s kterYm si bude rozumet, ktereho bu de oSetrovat, s kterYm bude vyji2clet sam a sam na procliazky, pospichal k taboru cikanu za tovarnou.

Kdy2 beZel ilzkou uliekou, odkud mohl jiC videti jejich voudu a nespattil ji, sevrelo se mu Uzkosti srdeeko. Tiskl pevne v dlani dvacet korun, ptidal do kroku a ptimhoutil oei.

Na rohu pied prostranstvim, kde odpoledne nalezl cikany, oei otevrel.

Prostranstvi bylo pra,zdne!

Nebylo tam ani boudy, ani hribatka privazaneho ke stromu. Jenom rozhazend, poSlapana nat' repna zUstala tarn stopou.

HoSik chalupniokilv, maje studene ruCieky v kapsach, pravil lhostejne.

"Cikani odjeli."

"A odvedli i hribatko?" zeptal se hlasem posledni nacieje Pavel.

"A pros by je tu nechavali?" odpovedel chladne hosik. Kopl bosou nohou do kamene a loudal se ulici.

Pavel poloZil hlavieku na zed' a soufale zaplakal. V ruce drZel dvacet korun, cele jmeni, vgecky Uspory a celY dluh. Rozevtel malou dlari a slzy mu stekaly na penize pozde, prilis pozde ziskane.

Kdosi ho vzal za ruku.

Byl to dedeeek, kterY sei vyhledat vnu ka, aby mu cikani neublilili. Byl prvni. kterY pochopil jeho velikY Cal. "Neplad, budeS"-li hodnY, dostane'S na vanoce ponynka," slibil vnouekovi.

Od to doby uplynuly kolikery vanoce.

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

Those who did not carry their insurance policy to maturity and received a paid up policy for that portion of the policy value it represented at that time ARE NOT entitled to the Vestnik.

It is unbelievable that our Youth and Teen-Agers are so skilled in creating these beautiful articles. There was a lot of imagination in them. and anyone would have liked to own .,,them. They would make excellent Christmas presents with Christmas just around the corner.

The Youth Program was composed mostly of two participating lodges namely: The East Bernard Lodge and the Sweet Home Lodge and lasted an hour and a half. Music still runs in the veins of those youngsters as it did their granddaddies, for they still play the fine Czech songs that have been so popular for several generations and sing them in Czech as well. The children performed remarkabl y, congratulations!

Judges for the Handicraft Contest were chosen and awards given. Each participating child was also awarded.

no highways, just cow paths and in bad weather the family was marooned at home. He explained that because of such adverse conditions many young persons did not get to associate themselves with our fraternal lodge work, that today's youth goes to the city as soon as possible to good paying jobs, so that prospects for new members are often limited.

Each area has its problems, but there is one common thing among us all; we still have babies — and our brother organizers should keep their eyes on brother stork and get that new member to a juvenile policy plus an educational policy as soon as the new citizen is dry behind the ears. If we but look into our own immediate families, the new babies, new brides and bridegrooms that come into our families and explain to them that for so many years the lodge! members have been maintaining thesei Halls for their enjoyment the recreation I of their young as well as the busines8 of possible, we would find a good. many members. If we would just go over our Lodge rolls with our financial secretary and see how many members just carry the one $1,000 policy and explain to these members who are still insurable that today's $1,000 policy can't do much for a surviving family, that coffins and funerals alone cost almost that much, not counting the doctor and hospital bills as the case may be, not to say anything about taxes and upkeep of the family that the widow must maintain until some adjustment can be worked out, — that our organizers would find new insurance. In all the history of insurance, there has never been a widow who would say, that her late husband carried too much insurance. It is the incidentals that eat away the insurance' money; the things that were unforseen and counted upon when the policy was taken.

The parade will assemble before noon at El *Campo for its six mile ride into EMIR, and the local station KLUF broadcasting car will herald the para• e, picnic and bazaar over the air. The local businessmen are invited to prepare their own advertising for their cars and participate in the parade into Hillje. It will be a gala occasion, and the public is invited to come and help celebrate this occasion, proceeds of which will go to our own S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home.

Contributions of handwork, baking and articles for money making projects that they plan, are requested by the sisters in charge. For those of our Texas Czechs who would like to contribute to this noble cause, please send your gifts and contributions to the secretary of the program committee, Sister Sophie Hradecka, 1672 N. Wharton St., El Campo, Texas, who in the name of the whole Committee gives her sincerest thanks for your generosity. Better still, if possible, attend this Anniversary Picnic.

Our president E. Marek will speak: Just like our good Czech people, while many visiting members could not speak for their respective lodges, they did pledge assistance to the best of their ability and our good Brother Ostaja Muniza, who incidentally sells the best vinilla extract in Texas, pledged support of his lodge. He knows the heart of his lodge and he knew that they would rally around the S.P.J.S.T. 60th Anniversary Picnic. Let the rest of us, give them our moral as well as our individual support — it is the Texas Czech way!

Vanek's Orchestra serenaded us while we all ate at the loaded family style board under the tents which the good sisters had been preparing for us. The goulash and sausages, salads, vegetables, etc., were delicious and there was plenty of everything.

Our Youth And Our Lodges What is more logical than complete family protection? What is more natural than the banding to gether of father, mother and children in one fraternal organization? What is more educative along both social and moral lines than the lodge to which the whole family may go and participate in the proceedings? The equivalent of the club for those who are better circumstanced in life is thus afforded. Indeed, better resuits can be thus obtained. Instead of the distinctive club, to which father or mother may belong, there is' one with which all may take interest. Without going into details, is there not here In opportunity fraught with practically unlimited possibilities?"

"Again, whole family protection is a question which we will have to meet and solve. If we are willling to permit our children to be educated in a hostile school, it follows that we are not standing for the perpetuation of our institutions. If we pursue the • course which has prevailed in other linesii-of successful endeavor, we will begin at the very basis and show our children that the time will arrive in its natural order when they must take up life's responsibilities and burdens as we today- bear them."

Our lodges are now holding open meetings, to which members and their children are invited, where a juvenile program is rendered, followed by an explanation of the plans and purposes of a juvenile department. The -amount of juvenile talent disclosed by these meetings has been a revelation, and it has opened up a. new line of thought to us, why not make the juvenile department of such value to the children and their parents from a social and educational stand-point as well as from the protec-• tion standpoint?

Last year the breed had 296 birds on e)thibit, being surpassed only by the Kings which had an even 300. This year, however, the Mondains are expected to hit the 400 mark, topping all other varieties.

To Our Youth - What Is Personality?

tl.S. TNIK- Let

George Do It!

There was a time when a doctor might give you a physical examination and declare you "as sound as a dollar"—and you would feel good about it.

But if a doctor told you that today, you would have cause for concern.

True, a , dollar looks the sai,ne as ever.

George Washington still stares solemnly from his frame. But a dollar is only about half as "sound" as it was ten years ago. That is, it will buy only about half as much as it would in 1947.

What can you do about it? You can't fight inflation single .handed. But you can invest in good, growing brotherhood in our established S.P.J.S.T. where your investment has a chance of increasing in value. That's probably the most effective way of counteracting the ravages of inflation. And there's an extra added attraction , as they say in the movie business: You can expect to collect some dividends in the . process.

The old dollar isn't as strong as it once was, but George Washington will still work with a will for you if you will just give him a chance. Write today to I our Supreme Lodge, Box 400, Temple !

Acid "Charm" to "Poise," plus "Good Grooming" and you have "Personality."

It's as simple as that. No one accepts grouches or moodiness as Personality.

When we say an individual has "a lot of personality" invariably we mean that he or she extends warmth, gaiety, goodfellowship and intelligence.

The individual with personality has the ability to draw contradictory temperaments together, to make misfits feel at home. They search out topics of mutual interests to discuss with the shy or the reticent.

To be warm with sympathy for misfortune, to be helpful to the confused, these are components.

You have never heard a dowd named a personality girl By the same token, there are many women beautiful of face absolutely devoid of personality.

The world's greatest beauty authorities, past and present, agree that "Beauty is only ,skin deep." So for true beauty, charm, poise, personality, combined with making the most of your own goad looks, are inseparable factors.

A ready smile, a sincere laugh, keep you young and pretty longer. Sincere interest in the other person is the key to a warm personality; but interest is not to be confused with curiosity. It is better to listen than to question; it is This growth in population has brought better to advise only when an opinion great changes to countryside America. is asked.

Great Changes Of Our Way Of Living

"I'm Not Interested"

Isn't It Astounding?

Every citizen of at least average intelligence knows very well, though he may not admit it, that our government —any government—should be run by .sPecialists. Common sense also dictates that these specialists in government should be obligated to take an arduous course of training in a national institution to fit them for their jobs.

We don't pick officers for our army and navy and air force from popular young fellows whose only qualification is as ambitio,s to wear an officer's uniform and give commands. We make them spend years and years at West Point and Annapolis and then pass a rigid sxaminatios. Not till they have done „plat do we feel they are completely competent to conduct military operations, manage a battleship or fly a fighting plane.

If our precious dog is sick we take him to a veterinarian who has been obliged to spend several years in a school of veterinary science, and who has then successfully passed a state board examination. No sir, we don't trust our dog's life is the hands of an ignoramus or a possible quack!

Is these instances, which could be multiplied, we exhibit truly remarkable common sense. But when we come to this matter of choosing men who are to make our laws and administer them, isn't it astonishing how we throw common sense to the winds? Any persuasive blatherskite who can corrall enough votes can get himself elected to the legislature or Congress without furnishing the slightest proof that he possesses the proper kind and necessary amount of specialized intelligence. )

Attention Organizers Dear Organizers . and Officers of District III and V: I would like to take this means to cordially invite each and every organizer of District III and District V and his wife and the past and present Officers and their wives of both Districts III and V and Officers and their wives of the Supreme Lodge, SPJST to a "Victory Dinner" for District V which will be held at Lodge No. 66, Linden Hall, Waco, Texas at noon on Sunday, October 27„ 1957.

Now to change the subject. I'm working up a bed in my garden for some strawberyy plants (my mouth waters at the thought of those lucious berries) which are to be put in soon in order to get a good root system started. Onions turnips, tendergreens and swiss chard are already coming up. It's a joyous time for gardening, for planning next year's flower border — sunshiny yellow tulips on their long stately stems! I haven't been too lucky with tulips in the past, they proved a dissapointment to me, but I'd like to try again. Perhaps my thumb is more green now than it used to be. Hope so, anyway. My violets make a beautiful border around my front rose bed and are thrusting up their purple heads which are a delight to my heart.

Old fashioned violets! Even the old fashion violet design dinnerware strikes a cord of beauty for me. Anyway, their round leaves are really show-y.

This party will come at the time of the month, when there are spooks and goblins around, and I'm sure that we may have some at the Hall also. Just what is being planned I am not at liberty to say, for if I told it all, then you wouldn't be surprised. But be sure to bring a face mask with you or wear a costume if you wish, For it will help you to disguise yourself and it will also fool your friends. .

"Very well," said the prince, "call him here that I may find out what sort of fellow he is."

"He is too far away to call," Longshanks said. "He wouldn't hear my voice and if he did he would be a long time in reaching us, for he has too much to carry. I had better step over and get him myself."

As he said this, Longshanks stretched out until his head was lost in the clouds and he took two or three strides, reached his comrade, set him on his shoulder, and brought him to the prince.

The new man was heavily built and round as a barrel.

"Who are you?" the prince asked.

"And what can you do?"

"I am called Girth," the man said.

"I can widen myself."

"Let me see you do it," said the prince.

"Very well, master," said Girth beginning to puff out, "I will. But take care!

Ride off into the forest as fast as you can!"

The prince did not understand the warning but he saw that Longshank was in full flight, so.. he :spurred his horse and galloped after him.

It was just as well he did, for in another moment Girth would have crushed both him and his horse, so fast did he spread out, so huge did he become. In a short time he filled the whole plain until it looked as though a mountain had fallen upon it.

When the plain was entirely covered he stopped expanding, heaved a deep breath that shook the forest trees, and returned to his natural size.

"You made me run for my life," said the prince. "I tell you I don't meet a fellow like you every day! Join me by all means."

They went across the plain and as they neared the rocks they met a. man whose eyes were bandaged with a handkerchief.

"Master," said Longshanks, "this is my other comrad. Take himt into your service, too, and I can tell you that you wont regret the bread he eats."

"Who are you?" the prince asked.

And why do you keep your eyes bandaged? You can't see where you're going."

"On the contrary, master, it is just because I see too well that I have to bandage my eyes. With bandaged eyes I see asp as well as other people whose eyes are uncovered. When I take the handkerchief off, my sight is so good it goes straight through everything. When I look at anything intently it catches fire, and if it can't burn, it crumbles to pieces.

On account of my sight I am called Keen."

Again we were fortunate to have the services of a competent guide who was eager to enter into the historic background of particular Spots of interest. He made it a point to take us also to the site of the tra gic death of the late Jan Masaryk. This is located in the heart of Hradcany!

Again we rode across St. Charles.

By this time the other driver had his window down and was about to give our

Wednesday, October 16, 1957 driver a similar lashing, but he hardly made first base!"

We were amused when we realized hoW much time they took during the busy part of the afternoon to lash each other out.

One whole day was devoted to an excursion to the Karlstejn Castle. This ancient fortress rising high up over mountain tops Is reached by bus which meets you at the railway station. But the ascent is actually made on foot. You wind your way through shady lanes and picturesque scenery before you are able to stop for refreshments at the sidewalk cafe where music and laughter prevail.

After a fairly steep climb to the castle gates one enters a private courtyard; its brick walls, fors or five feet high surround the area. For a split second you think you are in the land of Robin Hood or William Tell, but no, you are still in C7,echoslovakia! Within this courtyard is another gate which opens into a stable yard. Several more flights and you are led to the palatial entrance where another wall surrounds a more private area. Within this private domain the tourits is permitted to enter to view the reception halls, the library, the private chapel of King Charles IV, the living quarters and the general sanctuary. Figures of the past spring up in your im,agination as you proceed through one entrance and then another It is said that during the mouth of July of each year the historic past and the scenes of the life of Charles IV. are professionally depicted in this setting during the evenings of the full moon.

This proves again how these people appreciate the history of this nation.

The return trip to the station was made entirely on foot.

Imagine walking in the warm sunshine during the warmest part of the day in the states! Practically unheard of! But this bit of exercise took an hour or more .

By seven in the evening we were back at the Hotel-Esplanade where we remained another few days before proceeding on to Vienna. In the meantime, Ruth and I had walked up and down such avenues as Vacla yske Namesti, Prikopy, Panska, Narodni and Jungmanova where we seemed to make our way without any difficulties by this time, and how we enjoyed it!

y Da 3 Behind The Iron Curtain (CONTINUED) June 29. — Got up early that morning and we caught a bus for Lovcice, the town of my father's birth. We arrived here about 10:00 o'clock the bus stopping in front of my uncle's house. Here for the firt time I met my cousin, Vacla y .Trnka II, his wife, daughter, Marenka and son, Vaclav III, they were all glad to see us. This family lives here in this village and their occupation is farming. After the introductions, we went than to the cemetery a little ways from the village on the way. Father Pointed out the school where he spent his first school days and that is sixty years ago. The building is still in good condition and in use to-day. I t ook several pictures of the school and father in the doorway, it meant a lot to all of us to see dad standing in front of the school that he spent his early school days at and after so many years still be able to come back and still the same school.

While we were walking through the cemetery, Marenka pointed out the different tombstones, especially we that meant so much to her, for here her grandmother Trnka is buried. All of a sudden, the church bells began to ring and we were all wondering what happened. Marenka made it her business and she found out soon enough there were going to be two weddings at the church. So we hurried to the church so that we could see it all. When we got there, several men were standing beneath the trees and as always we got to talking. One by the name of Prochazka naked me about his brother, that lives in Rosenberg. Than another mentioned, that a Mrs. Horak was there also visiting relatives in Lovcice and that she is from Texas. Of course, this Mrs. Horak was from Dallas and was one of the Texans of the group. All of the people wanted news from the good U. S. A. and they also told all of us their hardships, etc.

Finally here comes the wedding. The first couple to be married, the bride was dressed in "narodni kroj'„ also the bridesmaids. The bride had a wreath (veuecek) of flowers with a short veil on her head, a beautiful pleated skirt with embroidered flowers, white apron and black boots. I enjoyed this the most, to see a wedding procession, all dressed in a "Narodni Kroj".

By Mrs. Betty Jurica proceded just like they do here in American churches. I didn't wont to push myself in the crowd, so I stood in the rear of the church. Anyway I saw what I wanted End I was satisfied.

After lunch, father, the three Vaclav's and I took a walk and went to see my other cousin, He was building on his house with his son Igor. The house will be built out of bricks and than plastered, with cement. It will be a nice home when finished with an attached garage for that auto they hope to own some day. 1:-Ie is building his hove net far from Zdanice.

After talking awhile, than dad, cousin, VaclavIII and I decided to go to Zdanice. It was a nice walk, for we walked through the fields of rye and clover.

Zdanice is a nice village, with many new apartment houses. We walked through the village and saw many monuments with names inscribed on them of the boys that were killed in World War II. At a, church, dad pointed out a plague with two pictures. These were pictures of priests that were executed because they hid two American parachhtists, One of them, my father knew when they were young boys. One saw these montilnents everywhere in memory of the loved ones that died when Hitler was in power. It was hot that day, we were all thirsty, so we stopped at a, "hostinec" and had cool glass of beer and than we were ready to -go back to Lovcice. It was about an hours walk but it was fun walking along the highway this time. Cherry trees along the road and than acres and acres of rye, and other grain to be seen as far as we could see,

As soon as we got back to Lovcice, rest of the folks were getting ready to to to a wedding supper. This time we were all invited by my dads cousin, his daughter (a teacher) was getting married at Brno and the reception was being held at Sedos' home. They live just a few houses over from my uncle Trnkas house. Mr. and Mrs. Sedare very nice folks. At 7:00 o'clock in the evening, here comes the wedding party. It was rather late, but I still took pictures of the bride and groom. The brides mother came dressed in a full skirt, handkerchief on her head, apron, and black shoes, The newly weds will both The second couple — the bride was teach. dressed in white satin and the bridesAfter supper, Mr. Chitet, our good maids in pastel colered dresses in ankle friend, came by to get my sister and I length. Both weddings were performed and we were of to Ztraznice, but first at the church in Lovcice. The ceremony we had to go back to Kyjov and get his

cousin (his wife had a sprained foot and couldn't go with us.) on arriving at Straznice there I saw motorcycles by the thousands, buses of every description and many cars, all of these people came to the three day festival of song and dance. This festival is held in a large park, with plenty of shade from the large. trees. It is a wonderful place to go to.

What ever direction I looked. I saw costumes of all ,deacriptions. I just never did get tied of admiring the colorful dresses of the girls, as every village has a different design in the embroidery of the aprons, caps, shill and blouses. Later on, all the lights were cut off, and candles were lighted in the concesSion stands. Music. vas everywhere, it was a pleasure to listen to.

Just like the costumes every village had its own band and they also were dressed in their costumes. There was much excitement, ,as, there were many boys there that danced.

They built a bon fi e and 'danced, around it and jumped over it. ' One would think that their parts would, catch' on fire, but no, they were just too fast.

This was a pretty sight to watch them dance and show of which one could jump the highest over the flame. The colorful costumes and the singing around the bon fire is just too difficult to describe, as it was far more prettier than I can write about it. We stayed til midnight and the celebration was in full swing. I was told that this goes on all night and when they get tired, just any place is good enough to get those few winks of sleep. Many slept beneath the trees, on the meadow, under tents and in cars, and I wouldn't be surprised if some never slept. This was Saturday night and the next day we were going to this celebration and spent the whale day. What a mob of people, to push through, just like a circus.

(To be continued) )• The travelling troupe of actors had seen better days. The manager was desperate. Bookings were few and finances were low and the leading man had quit.

The manager had given a rookie the lead role.

"Now go out there and do your best," said the o onager.

The rookie hesitated as he looked out from the win gs.

Manager: "What's the matter? Are you afraid of the audience?"

Rookie: "Heck, no. We've got them , out numbered."
