ODDIL DOPISOVATELU Smithville, Texas Mile sestry a bratfi: Zasilam zprivu organisatorske einnosti z prvniho okrsku a k tomu pfipigi par tadka.

Venku je stejne rnoc Skarede nee° de/at, a nine se ani moc nechce a to ze pry je moc horgi net kdyt dlovek nemiiAby j ste si vgak nemyslell, ze jsem opravdu lenoch, tedy vam lined ptipomenu, ze psani je take prace, nekdy i hodne nevdedna, ale to nic. Vite, kdyt jit je elovek tak trochu sta,rgi, tak jit vyvinutou takovou odolnost, ze by mohl bYti Poutit i to, hrornosvod a jestli jest citing ye vefejnem tivote, tak ti hroml na nej nekdy i padaji, a to dosti huste, to pak zalezi na torn jak moe lidem se chce zavdedit, jest!! se prubuje zavdedit vgern, pak s toho hromobiti ani nevyjde.

Ale jak se fika, ze po bouti bYva, jasno, tedy i to hromobiti netrva nikdy yedile a Nov& si zatim ocIpodine net' to zadne znovu.

Jsem rad, to hned na zaeatku jsem na psal ze pripigi jenom par neb jiz skoro nernam ani co psat. Vzpominam si, ze bych yarn mohl napsat neat o sobe ,ovgern, ze toho hor giho o sobe yam psat nebudu, o to se nekdy postara ji nagi ptatele, tedy nad to opakovat.

Popigi yam tak trochu moje zkugenosti tivotni. Moji zasadou vtdy bkvalo nekupovat nikdy tadne nafadi s toporem to valycky radgi vgeehno ze sedadlem cli ja.k my tikarne "sicem" ono kdyi je takove rani natadi pohotove, tak se jaksi vtdycky na,skytne ptiletitost ho upotfebit, a ja jsem mel od jaktiva moc melcke ruce a rukavice ne a ne se naudit nosit, tak pohodlne sedullo, neb sedlo, na to jit jsem byl vidycky jaksi tvrdgi a Vydriel sedet tfeba celk den, kor kdyt byl pod tim sedlem lehko nohy ken, neb pod tim seda,dlern gurnove rafy. VidyckY elovek ale nedostane to co chce. Jak nine se stalo kilyt jsem se rozhodnul nabidnouti sve slutby Stryci Sarnovi na, zadatku prvni svetove valky. Pamatujete se zajiste na to tehdej gi nadgeni jiti pomoot vybojovat konec fgem valkarn v budoucnosti. Ja jsem take gel, ale i pti tom nad geni jsem si myslel, ze ja.ko dobrovolnikovi si mne nechaji vybrat, a ze ja si tedy vyberu nee° s tim sedlem.

Chtel jsem do jizdy, dili ka_valerie, tech tak jit men do,st, neb v zakopovel ce jich potkeba nebylo. Dostal jsem se tedy, ani jit nevim jak, do pechoty, dili infanterie a po vice jak dva roky z utrpe ni vtbec nevygel.

Telidej gi vkzbroj jedneho pegaka vatila 96 liber a s tim jsme Utodili a mnohdY

I spali. Myslim, ze kdyby jsme nebyli nosili ty todite kama ge a nemeli nohy az po kolena tak pevne zatodene, tak aspon mne by se moje nohy byly jiste rosypaly. Motna, ze za to nine potom dali to zlav gtni vyznamenani (fellation.) s gen. John J. Pershing vlastnoruenim pod pisem. At' jit to bylo tak nebo onak, vatim si toho a mam to zaramovane na stene, tak abych to mel stale na, oeich jako upominku, abych zase nekdy do nedeho poelobneho dobrovolne neviezi. Ale i pfi vgem tom valedz em. utrpeni, infanteraka byli nekdy svetlej gi4chvile zvla, Ste kdyt jsern si zadal vzpominat na nektere opravdu sme gne zatitky a pH torn to dle potteby je gte ptibarvil. Mne kdyt cioktor prohlitel bose nohy, jestli nejsem (flatfooted) a jestli se za vojaka hodim 53 pfi torn ptal: "did you ever wear shoes?) Ja jsem na neho chvili hledel ale konedne jsem povida.1, "Oh, yes, to church and on Holidays.)

Vite jak to na farmach bYva.lo pied 50 roky. To my klud jsme obydejne jenom • jednk a nekdy take tacine stfevice a take jsme o ne nedbali, leda kdyt bylo moc zirna a to je gte ze dostfevicit nam teklo.

To se yttycky koupily asi o dve eisla vetgi aby z nich brzo nevyrostl. Za pluhem se to bosky jak jsme my fikali, take lepgi chodilo, tedy ja kdyt me ten doktor ty moje nohy problite/ jsern je asi mel na spodu hodne tvrde, tak ze na moji odpoved jit netikal nic. My Texarie (Ja jsem sionzil v pra.videlnern vojsku `regulars') jsme fikavali na gim kamarddam ze seven', aby nam nechali do pre du vedet, kdyby na,s chteli ptijit 'lady po valce navgtivit, ze bychorn se zatim obuli, aby n.as neehytili neobute. No pro hlouposti bych skoro zapomnel, Ee mam jaw psat o organisadni zpravu, tedy to to radej jiz ukondirn.

Vain mistnint organisatorinn vga.k Ida duu na srdce abyste jegte do konce roku se pfidinili tak abychom echo si vgichni skutedne pfejeme zdvojnasobili pojigteni roku minuleho. Jest to motile, a musiine se ze vgech sil o to pokusit. Bude nyni pkiletitost prodat pojistky co darek k Vanociim.

Pokuste se o to, vysvetlete to jim jak se to da zafiditi aby to mai jiste.

rode eeskeho, tu mame na, mysli duSevni vyspelost jadra lidu, vrozenou pra,covitost a tvotivost, prave tak jako nespodetnou fadu vynikajicich ten a mutt na poli kultury, literatury, nabotenstvi a ye vgech oborech vedy, pramyslu a .prate. Mlaviti o mistru Janu Husovi, J. A. Komensicem, K. H. Borovskem, Janu 2iZkovi z Trocnova — o Palackem, Cheleickem, Botene Nemcove a j. by znamenalo jen opakovani toho, co vime da yno. V ramci "slavnYch" dejin bylo vgak mnoho utrpeni. Po bitve na Bile Hote narod desk byl temet vyhlazen.

Rodna zeme za motem v gak nepozbyla na sve krase. Prave proto, te je tak mala, a tolikrate byla vyvedena, na horu Kalvarii nam, ktefi si vystehovali do jinYch .sveta dilu ptirosla k srdci a pokud mfiteme, radi se tam vracime. I kdyt nemtteme oeekavat, te tam najdeme vg e jako peed lety a rodna chalupa byla nahratena moderni stavbou — i kdyt mez vonici z jara matetidougkou je zaorana anebo se z ni stala silnice, v gechno kolem od firodnYch rovin az po chudieke kopce promlouva i dnes teei vlasti.

Touha po navgteve je podlotena take pfanim shlednouti starou vlast talc jak je dnes se vgemi syYrni, zmenami a ueinit si o vgem svuj vlastni posudek. Letognim rokem asi 1,600 nagich a.merickYch krajant se tam rozjelo a rozletelo.

Pfigtim rokem jich bude ureite mnohern vice. S vanoeni yYpravou jedou na gi ze Cedar Rapids, ale take nekolik a2 z Pennsylvanie, Kalifornie a odjinud. Kdot vi, zda se ted' v posiedni chvili nekdo z Texasu, kdy2" ne k vanoeni vYprave, tedy podatkem eervna 1958.

DETSKA BESiDKA ZtracenS, Naprstek

B. Schweigstill Do hospody "U zlateho soudku" jell komedianti — a babiece Kovatovic se ztratil naprstek.

To byly dye udalosti velkeho vkznamu, ktere sice nemely spolu zdanlive nic spoleeneho, ale piece jen byly spiaty spolecnym Va gkovkm zajmem.

Va gek byl babieein vnuk, o neinZ tikala ae nee, ho k nim ptinesla vrana, krmila ho jenom darebnou ka gi a balila kluka do li gei kfiZe. Babieka byla stare, a zku gena, a snad tedy mela pravdu. Kluk byl opravdu jako stir a mel pinou hlavu gelmovstvi a Zertil, kterSrm statena tikala darebactvi.

Stati se ov gem nekdy diva na mladi brejlemi, ktere ukazuji as ptili g eerne.

Vagek nebyl tak zly, j ak se zdalo a vedle sve hujnosti mel i vlastnosti dobre.

Byl pilny. poslugny a do Zadne prate se nemusili nikdy honit. V g echno udelal red, a pti v gem mu hrala veselost v at' pasl husy nebo pomahal otci pod kolnou tezat dtIvi. Oei mel eerne jako vyzrale trnky a z kaZdeho se dival do sveta erertik.

Ze jsou komedianti ye vsi, to u.Z vedel, ale take hned poznal, Ze to nebude v hos node tak jako pod lipou na na ysi, kde se v to tlaeenici vklycky u2 nejake misteeStraZnik nalezl opilce pod svitilnou: ko naglo i bez halete v kapse.

"Kdo pak dovolil si lehnout?" pravi Vagek mel v hla.ve take jiZ celSrdivahYbajie opilcem. — "Kdo pak Vam to cielni program, z neho*2 ho nejvice ustlal?"

Ale nejapiie moje stare", "Pan doktor Faust," kterf byl ureen

Fltrana nedeli a principal k nemu sliboval dokance bengal, blesky a kalafunu. To bylo ovgem neco, co piece stalo za, podivani.

Ale uC byl, paneeku, -patek a Va gek o jegte . ani nezavadil. Maniinka nemela tatinek komedii piilis neptal„ babieka Ze je kink sam dolt velikY komediant i s rara gkem clolaromacly.

No, a tenkrat se tedy ztratil babiece ten jej naprstek a ne a,ne ho najti.

Maminka rice prinesla jinY a koupila i novY, ale statena 1pela na svem jako Oert na hti gne duSi. Kdyby ji byli snesli naprstky tileba z celeho sveta, i od pan kralky, ZadnY ji nesedelna prstu dobte.

Jeden tlaeil, ciruhY byl vOlnY, ten ptilig mekkY a onen zas tvrdY. KaZdY mel ne jakou vadu, protole to nebyl ten jeji, na kterY byla zvykla.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK 110W MUCH LIFE INSURANCE SHOULD I HAVE? The answer depends first on how much money your family would need to live on if you died.

F'or instance: A widow needs immediate cash to pay outstanding bills, hospital, doctor, funeral expenses, cur•ent bills, estate settlement casts, taxes.

A widow needs a Regular Income while the children are growing up for food, clothing, doctor and dental bills plus utilities and school expenses.

A family needs money to pay off the mortgage or to pay rent.

Your children need an education fund, if they are to be assured of their best chances to succeed.

A widow needs a life-long income after the children are grown, so she will not be forced to seek a job or be a burden to her children. BUT your family's needs are only part of the picture.

What about YOU, when do you want, to retire? ' The enact amount of money your family would need if you die, and the amount of income you will want when you retire, will determine the answer to "How Much Life Insurance Is Enough?" • Your present assets — your savings investments, social security for which you are probably eligible and the life insurance you now own — all give you a head start toward meeting these needs.

By arranging life insurance proceeds to be paid out as income, it is possible to increase the amount of actual cash which would be received by your family if you die.

Perhaps a proper arrangement of your present assets will provide the money your family will need if you die or the income you will want if you live to retire. But'wouldn't you like to know for sure?

If your present program ig inadequate the double duty dollars of life insurance can help you meet your needs. Life insurance is a fundamental part of family

security because the dollars you put into it will multiply for your family if you die or provide a life-long income for your leisure years. )• •( FORT WORTH'S LODGE 92 YOUTH CLUB HOLDS FIRST ELECTIONS!

The Day Before Thanksgiving It was the rocky coast of New England and at the very spot where the Pilgrims celebrated their first Thanksgiving. But this was the year before the Pilgrims landed, and on the rocky shore a single Indian stood alone and mourned.

The Indian's name was Squanto, and he was a man without a home. Six years before, Squanto had been captured by fur traders and shipped to England as a slave. There he learned English and became a Christian. At last a friend bought him passage on a ship sailing to Plymouth Harbor but on his return, he found that his entire tribe had died from a plague. Squanto stood on the shore and wept.

Squanto wandered restlessly. Next to his own people he had loved white men best. Especially, he found it hard to forget that strange and beautiful religion they had taught him. Often he returned to Plymouth Harbor and gazed toward England.

Then, one day Squanto saw a little ship anchored in the harbor. On the shore, group of plainly dressed men and women were building homes! Squanto knew the language they were speaking, so slowly he drew nearSqu_anto taught the newcomers to fish and hunt; he taught them to plant; and to live at peace with the Indians.

The year was 1621. A small group of Pilgrims gathered for a great feast.

Among them was a certain Indian. One of the PilgriMs mentioned that of all God's gifts, this Indian had been the greatest. He wrote in his diary that without Squanto, there would have been no Thanksgiving at all.

And as for Squanto, be knew that ,at last, he had came home. o )♦ Whether or not a young couple lives happily, ever after, usually depends on how they meet and share the problems of everday living. And not the least of these problems is financial. A family's sound financial standing depends as much upon a wo.Itan's ability to Manage money as it does her husband's ability to make it And a family savings prograin is as much the wife's responsibi-lity as it is her husbands..

Many young couples today are working toward financial security by investing regularly in an insurance program warked out for them by their SPJST organizes: It is the easiest -way to save— and one of the safest.

Findings of Our Insur- Child Manners Are V. to/ To Auto Safety ance Board The policy owner is quite a different fellow from the stock investor who takes the risk inherent in any business deal.

The man who buys a policy expects it to fulfill the conditions provided therein.

But the fact remains that few insurance buyers really know what they get.

Insurance rates arm-II:form, but only for the risks covered. A policy which pays off under a limited number of conditions can carry a much lower rate than one giving general coverage. But the buyer of a policy often thinks he is covered against all accidents when he is not. He has looked at the price, not the coverage.

To this extent, it is something of a thankless task initiated by the State Board of Insurance. The board can weed out unfair practices. It can insist on clear policy phrasing.- But is can not protect the insurance buyer against his own haste or lack of care.

No insurance buyer will lose if; He makes sure of the solvency of the company with which he deals He can read clearly in the policy exactly what he is getting. ) • 4 (

Thanks To rother A. Mazanec

That's the word of the Rocky MOuntain AAA Club, which says children untrained as auto passengers and left to their own devices can pose a three-told threat to safety.

They can injure themselves by falling over seats or being thrown against dash board, in sudden stops, they can distract the driver long enough to send the car out of control and they can distract the drivers of other cars around them.

Some of the most frequent violations of good car conduct for children Include standing on seats, climbing over seats, leaning out windows and playing with handles.

To correct these bad habits, the AAA club offers these suggestions:, Teach children to lean back and sit squarely on the seat. Very young dren should be held in the lap of an adult or placed in a special car seat securely fastened to a regfilar seat.

Do not allow horseplay. Older children may be given books and magazines to read, and younger children can amuse themselves with toys made of soft plastic or rubber, not sharp wood or metal.

If children must be given a drink while the car is underway. use a paper cup, not glasses or bottles.

Teach children to play games such as spotting out-of-state licenses, quiet word games, or other games that do not :require physical action.

On long trips, stop often so children do not become overrestless. ) NEWS FROM OUR FRIENDS

IMMIGRATION and NATURALIZAT1 N Question - I have been unsuccessfully trying to have my daughter join me in the United States. Up to now this has not been possible because she comes from a country with an oversubscribed quota and, as I never married her father. she wos not entitled to a preference. I am told that under a new law I can now bring my daughter here. le this true?

Answer --- Yes, you can now petition for on immigration visa for your daughter, even though she was born out of wedlock. The new law to which yon refer grants immigration benefits to an illegitimate child, if petitioned for by its mother. A child's natural father, however does not enjoy the same privilege under the law.

BUT, at the rate we are going, unless extra effort is made during the remainder of this year, we may still run short of our goal to "Double the Sales in 1957".

It would be very disapointing if our District fell short of this goal, therefore Organizers and Members in District No. 7, let's all of us make a little extra effort between now and Christmas and give our good neighbor friends the privilege to "join in" on some good SPJST Life Insurance.

The report of the sick committee listed other members who were ill: The other of Brothers Frank and Roman Parma is at home now. We hope she continues to improve rapidly.

Brother Ghudej's wife and family have influenza.

Brother and Sister Otto Matus' daughters have been quite ill but are much better.

Sister Mary Simcik became ill after attending church November 3rd and she and Brother John Sinacik were not at our meeting.

We hope the "Flu Bug" goes away — we need all our members at our meetings.

Our visitors for this meeting were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Adamcik of Cottonwood and Mms. Charles Narovec.

Sister Emma Caska, our Youth Director, announced that the four Matus sisters were asked to represent the SPJST on the program given at a banquet during the National Fraternal Congisa, which met in Temple late in Octol,cs, Our Supreme Lodge acted as host to ths gathering. Since the girls were ranrs-eitting the SPJST, they sang their :i =ain. number in Czech then came la: at: fica' other numbers in English. Our Locip: 1, very fortunate in having these talenctd girls and we are very proud of them.

Our members may bring guests but be sure to provide food for thena, too. We'll have games, a short program and group singing. Of course, Santa Claus will be there, too! Our meinhers will exchange gifts in this manner: each lady is asked to bring a gift for a lady and each man one for a man; these are to cost between 50c and $1. We'll have a Christmas tree, too. Sister Rosemary Spence will handle the decorating and will call on other members to , help her.

Sister Ceska would like to have all the mothers of our young members meet

with her for just a short time following the meeting of December 1st. She wants to discuss plans for the program to be presented by the children.

Brother Reznicek announced that the Board of Trustees had decided to install another heater in the Hall and would probably have it ready for use in a week or so.

Now this is very important to all our members! At our next meeting we will have the election of officers for the coming year. A nominating committee has been appointed and will contact .seme members to see whether or not they will serve as an officer if elected.

Any member present may also nominate any other qualified member in the regular manner. All of our members should make a special effort to attend this next meeting. The meeting time has been changed (by vote of members present Nov. 3rd) to 2 p.m. for this very important meeting.

After our meeting adjourned, we enjoyed our "pot-luck" supper then saw the film on Czechoslovakia. We had a very good crowd for this show and everyone thoroughly enjoyed seeing it. Our sincere thanks to Brother Valcik for taking the time and trouble to bring them to us.

Sacky Sacks 'em Up Ity Charlie Cerny, Seventh District Organizer This is the first one of short stories being submitted about our SPJST Organizers of distinction in the Seventh District. I am writing about "Sacky" first because even though he may not be the Nunber I leader in our District, he needs an interduction to our entire SPJST Fraternity as much, or even more than . some of our other leaders. He is one of those quiet, sort of members that seldom speaks up in meetings. He is one of those good workers that I would call a "Dark Horse." According to latest reports from the Supreme Lodge, he actually tied for second place with Organizer, Sister Janca so far this year.

He is our Brother, FRANK C. SACKY, 3118 Brawner Park Way, Corpus Christi, Texas. It was, our good old time Brother J. J. Krusinsky from Corpus Christi Lodge No. 79 that introdUced and recomended Sacky for appointment as an Organizer. That was only just last March of• this year. - Thanks to Brother J. J. K. for recomending this good producer Immediately Brother Frank C. Sacky started "Sacking Up" the new applicants foi SPJST Insurance. We have two good 1.Qclgcs at Corpus Christi and Sacky being an unprejudiced Democratic SPJST le raternalist gives the applicants their own choice on Lodges. The result is, he helps both Lodges to grow in member-

Women's Nook CULAK LODGE NO. 165 MOULTON, TEXAS Dear Readers: Murky, cold, rainy weather is now our guest—the good old-fashioned preThanksgiving sort that comes from the damp northeast, the kind we dreamed about during those past dry autumns when we had to start our fall gardens with the aid of the watering can and hose. Now it is vice-versa, but we shall not complain. The rain comes down slowly, water on the cold breegs, bringing down the trees the last remaining Yellowed leaces, leaving the barren branches to reach to the skies throughout the wintery season, awaiting the awakening call of the eternal spring again..

Quite successful was the Culak Lodge October 27 festival. Those members who worked so untiringly, are deserving of much credit. The heartening dinner and supper of hot sausage and stew, steaming freshly cooked potatoes topped with browned onion, all sorts of fruit and vegetables, deliciously prepared beans, accompanied by cups of arornaic coffee and topped off by one's choice of kolaches and cakes, were enjoyed by everyone. Good, peppy music was furnished by the Hobo Band. The familiar tunes, ranging from Koline through the Beautiful Shepherdess, provided an invitation to many of the old notable singers to join in -- and this they did heartily and lustily. The quilt which the ladies had made, brought a nice sum of money. It was won by Miss Lexie Marie Etlinger. We were happy for Lexie Marie as she shall be a bride in the near future. The grab bag box, which Miss Annie Hirsch had charge of, also brought in a neat sum.

Yes. the two write ups of the trip to Czecholsivakia by Mrs. Betty Jurica and Mrs. Naomi Kostorne are certainly well worth reading. For those of us who are not able to make the journey in reality, these well depicted articles supply a good deal of information which we thirst after. I was also very fortunate

VESTNIK WEST, TE

in getting a first hand report of the trip and his impressions of the country and its present conditions from Mr. Joe Muras of Shiner. His being a visitor to Frenstat, the place of his birth, naturally brought us information that was close to our hearts as we still have relatives there from my father's side.

I wonder how many of us are fully aware of the influence that schoolteachers have upon our lives? I, for one, call myself most fortunate to have had all good Christian teachers throughout my school life. Each of them had some good qualities by which they helped to mold the characters of their students. However, isn't there usually one outstanding person in your list of teachers whom you had a special regard and love for, whose memory is almost like a pronounced benediction? I had one such teacher in my life, who truly -was the embodiment of all that is good, who not only professed the Christian faith — but she lived it! Ours was a friendship formed in the early days of my teens but it endured throughout all the intervening years, interspersed with an occasional visit or a friendly card or letter exchanged — but until just three weeks ago when the death of my beloved Miss Robbie Ray Allsup severed those precious ties. Although I had known for five months that she could not get well, yet when the final earthly parting came, it wasn't easy. She is truly "My Unforgetable Character" and in short tribute to her, I quote lines which I memorized under her instruction so many years ago: "Green be the turf above thee, Friend of my better days; None knew thee but to love thee, Nor named thee, but to praise!"

The Wood Maiden The story of Betushka and the Golden Birch Leaves — Old Czech Fairy Tale Continued From Previous Issue Betus hka's mother asked, "Are you sick, Betushka?"

"No, dear mother, I'm not sick, but I've been singing too much and my throat is dry."

She knew that her mother did not reel the yarn at once, so she hid the spindle and the unspun flax, hoping to

Btr make up tomorrow what she had not done today. She did not tell her mother one word about the beautiful maiden.

The next day she felt cheerful again and as she drove the goats to pasture she sang merrily. At the birch wood she sat down to her spinning singing all the while, for with a song on her lips work falls from the hands more easily.

Noonday came. Betushka gave a bit of bread to each of the goats and ran off to the woods for her berries. Then she ate her lunch.

"Ah, my little goats," she sighed, as she brushed up the crumbs for the birds, "I must not dance today."

Why mustn't you dance today?" asked a sweet voice, and. there stood the beautiful maiden as though she had fallen from the clouds.

Betushka was worse frightened than before and she closed her eyes tight.

When the maiden repeated her question, Betushka answered timidly: "Fcrgive me, beautiful lady, for not dancing with you. If I dance with you, I cannot spin my stint and then 'my mother will scold me. Today before the sun sets I must make up for what I lost yesterday."

"Come, child and dance,*- the maiden said. " Before the sun sets we'll find some way of getting that spinning done:" She tucked up her skirt, put her arm: about Betushka, the musicians in the tree tops struck up and off they whirled with maiden dancing more beautifully than ever. Betushka couldn't take her eyes from her. She forgot her goats, she forgot her spinning. All she wanted to do was to dance on forever.

At sundown the maiden paused and the music stopped. Then Betushka clasped. her hands to her head, where the unspun flax was twined, burst into tears. The beautiful maiden took the flax from her head, wound it around the stem of slender birch, grasped the spindle, and, began to spin. The spindle hummed along the ground and filled, in no time. Before the sun sank behind the goods all the flax was spun, even that which was left over from the day before. The maiden handed Betushka the full spindle and said.

"Remember my words: Reel and grumble not! Reel and grumble not! , When she said this, she vanished as if the earth had swallowed her.

Betushka was very happy now and she thought to herself on her way home: "Since she is so good and kind, I will dance with her again if she asks one. Oh, how I hope she does!"

She sang her merry little song as usual and the goats trotted cherefully along.
