Strileek Jakub Vzpominam na strkeka Jakuba. Vy jste jiste neznali mato strkeka Jakuba a proto nepochopite, prod se mi pa nem tolik stYskalo, kdyt zernkel.

Bylo mi tehdy sedm let.

Strkeek Jakub byl stark a sehnutk. — Tvak mel zarostlou stiibrnkrni vousi a vlasy mel ze stiibra. Kdyt sedel na shinci, zdalo se mi, to je svatk. Strkeek Jakub mel vg ak revmatismus a byl hluchk.

Cele dny prosedel v leno§ce nemohi se hnout. Moji rodiee jej men u sebe site jen proto, to se mnoho miuvilo o jeho bohatstvi, ale ja jsem tenkrat 'Oka. to mi ho poslal sam Pan Rah. Casto jsem slkchaval matku vyslovit pkani, aby si ho Panbih yzal k sobe, ten vgak mne mel rad a proto mi ho to nechaval.

Malokdo mel rad strkeka Jakuba. To asi proto, to s nikkm nemluvil a kdyt, tedy jen tak par slov a dost. Lide o nem to je "tadyhle", ukazovali na eel°.

On v gak mnoho nestal o lidi a kikal mi: hochu, lide si nerozum.eji, katdk

VPSTII,TIK

Tn7A,c:(

uznava jen sam sebe a drulak je mu k smichu. nide se nemaji radi. Proto je to lik bolesti a smutku na svete."

A jinds zase: Asi se divig, to s nikkm nemluvim, ale on by mi nikdo nerozinnel a vysmal by se mi. nide se nemaji radi. Jen tobe se svetuji, ponevadt ty se mi nevysmejeg. i kdyt mi snad nerozumi g . Mani to hochu, rad, jako bys byl mfij vlastni."

Ba ne, stryeku Jakube, ja jsem ti rozurnel. Snad ne tak docela, ale piece.

Mel jsem lad strYdka Jakuba; nejvice ze vgech lidi. StrYeek Jakub umel krasne povidat. U neho byly moje nejhezei chvile. Kdy2",' venku prgelo, chodival jsem za .stryekemi Jakubem do jeho pokojiku.

Na okna v mansarde dopadaly kapky de Ste touto gedi vyplouvala moje fantasie do jinkch zemi, pinYch slunce a kvett, do pestrYch zemi strYekova vypraveni.

Nemam rad pohadky a proto jsem na dg en naslouchal jeho vypraveni, ktere nebylo vymyglene. Rikal mi o cizich zemich, kterkrni pro gel, o Indii a Cine, Africe a Arabii, o tamnych lidech v turba nech, i o S'ikmookSTch gej gach a kuliech, o vysoke zdi, o divokkch lidotrutech i o gejkovi s eernou bradou.

Naslouchaval jsem s otevkenou pusou neuvekitelnkm ptibehfun a v me proste detske dui rostla touha poznat vgechno, co neni pohadkove, co je skuteene a pro to tolik krasne. Ve fantasii jsem si vykresloval bile me gity, pfistavy a mole, i nekoneenou horkou pou gt' s karavanou velbloudt a chladkem oas, lovce perel i kufaky vodnich clYmek.

StrYeek Jakub mel i mnoho obrazky, ktere si pfivez1 z cest. Bral jeden po dru hem do rozechvelkch rukou, a ke katdemu znal nejakou pkihodu nebo zatitek.

V tech chvilich vypravel se zavfenkma , oeima a s fismevem. BYval tolik blatenk, a ja vim, to zricvu protival to v ge krasne a mlade, Tolik jsem ho litoval pro jeho revmatismus, pro cele jeho nemocne

ri.

Maminka neb'vala rada, prodleval-li jsem u nej a iikavala, ze mne jen poblaz ni a naudi se Apatnkm vecem V gak pry to vgechno (tim myslela jeho nemoc) ma z toho neztizeneho tivota. Ja v gak vim, to to vge mel z velike lasky ke krase, kte iou objevoval proto se tak blatene usmival p11 vzpominani.

Svoje obrazky mel ukryty ye velikem kufru a stietil je jako pokiad. Neukazal mi ale v§echny. Svazedek, pievazanSt ratovou stutkou, skrkval, nedbaje mYch proseb.

"Co je mrtve — at' spi'', kikaval.

Az jednou!

Anit bych piing tadonil, vial rukou, jet se mu chvely, vabici mne svazeeek. Rozvazal stutku a dloilho se na

Strana 9 mne upkene dival. -Pak se dlouho dival na fotografie. Neod y atil jsem se ho Jeho tvai v to chvili byla jakoby zkarnenela, jen lista se clivela a oei hle dely giroce.

Pak se probral ze zadumani a tine hovoill: "Vig hochu, i ty jednou bude g velikk a pojednou to neco uchvati, via, tady u srdce a v dugi. A to to bude lakat. Nejhezeimi slovy to bude znit a vonet a vonet po rir%ich. Neodola g a ptijclle g jako za bludiekou.

Strkeek se odmleel, aby meal je gte tiseji "Ne, §-testi neni stale. eas neni gtesti.

Stesti je okarntik chvile. I ja jsem nagel g testi v eloveku. V ten& Byla nadhernej si vgech kras sveta. Tady — —" a ukazal mi fotografii tens !. Byla opravdu krasna. Jeji dlouha vlasy splkvaly at na ramena, oei byly temne a nejpodivnej g i na ni byly rty. Takove smutne, zklamane rortoutene a bolestne i odevzdane semknute rty.

"Je opravdu krasna," kekl jsem.

V teto chvili strfeek asi sly gel; nebot navazal: "Ano, ano, krasna. Zeinkela, kdyt se rodil rnfij syn. Oba zemteli. I tobe se snad stane, to bude g najednou sam, do cela sam v celern svete. V gechno, co Ova lo krasne, neni nic net hmota, nehybna, nema, vesmir cizi, nelidskk.

Nekdo odegel. Jeho du ge nebo srdce, jeho laska."

Pak mi ukazal estatni obrazky. Byly to fotografie ze svatebni cesty a z mnoha dalgich cest.

Tetieka na katde z nich vyhlitela kra sne a smutne. Priporninala mi Madonu.

Dlouho jsem hledel na jeji bolestne gt'astne tahy, at zaslechl jsem neco jako :§tkani. Pohlecll jserri na strkeka Jakuba; oei mel zaroseny a slzy mu stekaly stribrnkm vousem.

V to chvili mi ho bylo tolik lito.

Utkel si sizi a pokraeoval: "Vgechno pkeboli, se v gim se Covet( smi s tivotem i se smrti, s laskou, i s tenou. Ten kdo nejvic v tivote mel rad, dovede umilit. Kdo nejvice na svete miloyal a koho nejvice opustilo, je St'asten. Stesti je -- mit rad. — V gechno mit rad. Vig hochu„ kdyz v gechno mag rad, je krasnk tivot a krasna i smrt. I smrt

Pak usnul a ja jsem se vytratil yen, abvch ho ncru gil. — Jen v Wave se mi to pila jeho.-lava.

Na drulaY den byl strYeek Jakub mrtev. Lekak i lide kikali, Ze ho ranila raftViCe. Ale ja, dobfe vim, Ze si pron pkiSla tetieka, aby si ho vzala k sobe. Vldyt' i v rakvi niel tsrnev na tvari. To proto, Ze jeho due se setkala s clu gi nekoho, kdo ho mel rad.

Po pohilou se pfibuzni delili o jeho pozastalost. .Nebylo toho mnohoa vgichni byli zklamani.

Nejvice zdedil ja; barevne obrazky z cizich zemi a svazeeek sninika, svazanYch ra2ovou pentli.

A pak jegte neco, co nevyva21 ladne bohatstvi, velike tajemstvi strYeka Jakuba: je — mit rdd; v gechno mit rad, To je me velke talemstvi a dedictvi po strYcovi Jakubovi, kterY se se gel s tetekou v nebi. # 4,,

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK sure you are covered by adequate Life Staying Off The Rocks Insurance to keep your loved ones off Have You Thought the rocks!

A world renowned traveler an lec4. • Of This? turer took the ship at Montreal to sail north on the St. Lawrence River bound How much can you save a month?

What We Think Of Surely for Europe. He was deeply impressed there must be some definite with the personnel that commanded the amount that you or any person can save Life Insura ce Ship and at the first opportunity exfor his family each month. What is it? pressed his appreciation to the Captain.

The Captain being a jolly good fellow and wantnting to keep his distinguished guest's good will, invited the traveler to go with him on inspection.

Their first visit was to the engine room, then to the galley and from there to the forecastle. The traveler had on previous voyages made similar inspections, but never before had he seen things quite so ship-shape.

The last stop was on the bridge. Here the navigator was deeply engrossed over his charts and the traveler had the impression that the navigator, as well as the helmsman, were calm and went about their work with complete confidence.

Turning to the Captain the traveler said, "I notice that we are now on that part of the river where there are an unusual amount of rocks. Does your navigator and helmsman know where all these rocks are located?"

The Captain immediately replied, "No, they do not know where all the rocks are, but they do know where the deep water is."

That night while sitting in the deck chair on the promenade the traveler kept thinking of the reply that he Captain gaVe him. "They know where the deep water is." There he was sailing on a a luxurious ship. He did not know haw to keep the ship off the rocks, that was for certain, but he had all the confidence in the world in the navigator and the helmsman who could keep the ship in "deep water.

We as a fraternal life insurance society are sailing a course. We are in deep water and we are staying off the rocks. How about your business? If you are making a good living for your family, you are staying off the rocks. Be

1. Life insurance is an ideal method of saving money!

2. Life insurance is an absolute safe investment!

3. Life insurance provides the most perfect emergency fund available under any and all conditions!

4. Life insurance provides protection for your family at the same time it creates a reserve for your old age needs!

5. The future income values of life insurance are guaranteed to the day and to the dollar!

6. Life insurance is the only investment a man can buy which under no conceivable condition can be worth less but must always be worth more every day that you hold it!

7. The income from the life insurance estate can be made absolutely free from income tax!

8. When the life insurance estate goes directly to the family, it is free from all probate costs!

9. The proper use of the beneficiary douses enable you to be the administrator of your own estate even as far down as the second generation!

10. Life insurance is fool-proof, lossproof, creditor-proof, in-law proof, depression-proof, and even proof against your own weakness in the field of effective thrift, safe investment, life-long and even after-death conservation! )

Whatever you can save, you could put it into life insurance. After the first few years, the largest of your deposit will be saving to be used if and when you need money, besides your life is insured and your family is protected. So you see that after a few years, the cost of your insurance will be negligible, as you actually will have the world's best, surest and safest investment. It may ialso be possible to guarantee funds to complete your child's education.

Surely you will get a tremendous amount of satisfaction in knowing that if you should prematurely die, your family will have a home and your wife will have an income enabling her to devote full time to bringing up your children and put them at least through high school. For a few extra dollars each year through our life insurance plan, it is possible to guarantee funds to complete your child's education, We can refer with pride to our Brotherhood as we can measure our growth in human values.

The measure of our order is in the people it serves. Their continued faith in their future and the future of their families, depends on their life insurance to provide financial peace of mind. — Our SPJST is ready to serve you!

Twenty-Four Years Old Twenty-four years ago, our sister Lodge 154 in Fort Worth, Texas was organized and Sunday, June 8th. that Anniversary was observed at this Lodge with a special lodge meeting and the initiaton of its new members.

The Sokol Hall in Fort Worth, with whom this Lod ge 154 shares home, was cool and comfortable; the American and Czech flags waves us welcome as we entered the door. Tables and chairs were arranged for comfortable sitting and the aroma of delicious food in the Hall Cafeteria gave evidence that the good lodge sisters did not intend anyone to go hungry.

The only regret is that hore of the lodge membershi p did not attend this Anniversary Observance, for this is a big lodge in our fraternal orbit.

Lodge President John Becan called the meeting to order at approximately 3:00 p. m. with a Pledge of Allegiance, roll call and presentation of its Lodge Officers, and then gave his opening address in both the Czech and English languages. Thereupon, sister Mary Renfro, Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting and Sister Anna Milan, Organizer and Financial Secretary presented the Applications for Membership for the lodge to act upon. Nine new members were investigated and accepted by unanimous vote. Sister Mary Hejl gave her Treasurer's report and the Initiation of new members got under way.

Brother Edward Marek, visiting President of the Supreme Lodge officiated at the initiation rituals. We all stood in solemn silence to hear them take theh vows. It was inspiring to see these people before us stretching across the width of the Hall, taking their vows, and realizing the amount of work that their organizer had to put forth to make this impressive showingn Truly, it wasn't -luck" but "pluck", as had once been said, to make this showing.

Lodge 154 Ft. Worth welcomed. Sister and Brother Louis and Mary 1Viusil, Sisster Henrietta Milan (that's the lovely bride that Jerry Milan brought home from Chicago with whom we all became acquainted through the Vestnik) Sister Anna Johnson, Brother Joe Svitak, Sister Hattie Pruitt who brought her aged mother along to witness the initiation, Brother Louis A. Marusak, Sister Lydie Tomanek and her two months old baby daughter Mary Eliza-

VASTNIX — WEST, TEXAS beth, as well as her two small song, Joseph J. and Daniel C. Tomanek, into the fraternity Sunday. We all personally welcomed each new member into our fold, President Becan then invited suggestions from the membership for the betterment of the Lodge. He himself bade the membership to cast aside all petty grievances, jealousies and envies and to band together in true brotherhood.

Brother Becan complimented Sister Anna Milan on her achievement as "Top Woman Organizer for 1957" in our brotherhood, for her untiring efforts in behalf of Lodge 154, telling her that any remuneration that she may have received for this work in securing such a large number of new members for the lodge was certainly deserved and could not adequately be compensated for to the vast amount of work she put out in soliciting this membership. His remarks were enthusiastically applauded.

Brother Edward Marek, President of our Supreme Lodge was then again given the floor at which time he presented Sister Anna Milan with an engraved, gold plated plaque, which had just been received from the engravers, "For Outstanding Achievement in Securing Membership in 1957", it read.

Needless to say, on these rare occasions in one's life where recognition is given a living person has is deep emotional effect. Sister Milan humbly received this recognition with thanks from the membership and, we are sure that at that moment, all the memories of hard work, the failures and recreminations that any worker comes up against at some time, faded away, We were all happy for her in her Moment of Glory.

It is ppropriate to pause here and mention Brother Joe Milan, who in his unpretentious way is Sister Milan's chauffeur on her prospect calling trips. It was a "Moment" for him too, and he was proud of his "Marninka."

Brother Arnold Vrla of Dallas, Supervisor of District III, with his fine family, was present. Being in the insurance selling phase of the work he has first hand knowledge of its problems and those of his organizers. Brother Vrla acknowledge Sister Milan's attain ment as "Top Woman Organizer" in Texas and complimented Lodge 154 for having such an outstanding woman in their midst.

Brother Robert Cervenka, District III Director, also paid tribute to the occasion of the 24th, Anniversary and to Sister Anna Milan's achievement, and wished the Lodge continued success. He then gave some statistics showing the

Weclheldsy; Juts. 3.$: T97.6 growth the leading- lodges 'in our fraternity have made in a five year • period for comparative analysis. "If you figure the time actually spent and the money received for this work, it is not paid for," Brother Cervenka said, "so don't begrudge the organizer his money. If it were not for the Organizer, where would our SPJST be today? He concluded.

Brother Arnold Vrla then Spoke.

Brothers and Sisters: As I understand it, you started this lodge 24 years ago.

Today, you have over 700 members and there are a lot of lodges in the state of Texas that have been 'organized for a lot longer period that do not have near the membership that this lodge has and you would not have it if it would not been fcr the efforts and hard work of your organizers who go out to solisit these members. You have your Sister Milan, here, who goes out to get this membership. To progress, you have to work together. Jealousy does not get anyone anywhere except into trouble," he said. Illustrating, Brother Vrla . co•tinued: "You have to do just like your teeth do, your upper and lower teeth, work together! Coordination!" You people here today who joined this organization; you joined not a small organization but a nine million dollar one.

You have never heard of a fraternal organization going broke like some of the big companies in the last few years in Texas. We are proud to have you. with us!" Then .referring to the individual' organizer's job,- Brother Vrla said: . "It is a job that you just don't get enough thanks for. It s just plain WORK with capital letters., Then Brother J. F. Chupick, Secretary of the Supreme Lodge illustrated how our Czech pioneer fathers used the Czech, German and Pidgen English plus lots of hand signals to make themselves understood in their transactions and how in spite of the language handlcap, these pioneers gained the respect of the people for their efforts, their integrity and industry to establish themselves in Texas. Brother Chupick recals how our SPJST fraternal order was founded over 60 years ago in Texas by these forefathers who came here from across the seas. The aristocracy here in 'Texas ignored the Czech immigrant, socially, That is why the immigrants adopted the motto: Brotherhood, Ben-r evolence and Hurnanitarism in their Order. Brother Chupick explained that in recent years he had been confined more to the business department of the Order rather than the fraternal department, which Brother Marek and Brother Helny manage. "Nevertheles,"' Bro.-

Virednerday; Jtrie ther Chupick says, both departments are well managed. Our Order does need a little revision in spirit, needs the bringing of netr young blood. That s why we want these district meetings get together to enliven them, to insert new blood In its veins. That couldf be easily accomplished, but for the fact, that we speak the same language but do not understand each other. We have to understand each other's language and motivation. Sometimes when someone does something we do not understand we begin to suspect him that he doesn't want to help without stopping to think that perhaps he cannot help, Brother Chupick always punctuates his speeches with a little mirth which everyone appreciates for he knows how to deliver it. He then continued up. "In order to make our institution grow we shall all have to work together. We cannot all be officials of lodges, but we each have a place to fill and should be willing to do what we have to, We can have all of these fine District Meetings we want, etc., but it finally takes the organizers to bring in the insurance. It takes someone to get out and do the work. As in battle, it takes the foot soldier to hold the line. We have to have these local workers to do the work in the field. In the days of 1939, our pecple did not understand that our Order should have any so called "agents". If I were to tell you of some of the receptions I got, you would not believe it. I started the Juvenile Department and it gives some warm feeling inside that I have had a part in the organizing of the department. It certainly has done a lot for our order.

Brother Chupick cornplhnented the organizational work in District III under Brother Arnold Vrla.

Regarding the use of the English language in our lodge meetings, Brother Chupick compared this to the first few grey hairs that appear on one's head.

You pull them out for a time, but eventually you will have to accept the greyness, Brother Edward L. Marek, brought greetings and best wishes from those officers who were unable to be present.

He congratulated the 24th Anniversary Observartee of Lodge 154 in the Czech language wishing them success in the future be as great as it has been in past and wishing for Lodge 154 God's grace.

In the English language Brother Marek pointed that "We have with us in every lodge those that carry the work of the lodge, so let's give them due credit. To make a lodge function well, it takes the work of all of us;

VESTNIIC WEST, 'TEXAS nor does it matter haw much help one can give, just a little will help. We know from actual statistics that the selling of of life insurance,. representing some 20 different insurance policies that we have, your org anizers, need your help however little that may be.

It is that "Little" kind of help over your back yard fence that you can sell more than the organizer can. Remember, your neighbor sees you at your back door. He sees just how successful you are and wonders how you do it. He will always be willing to listen to you closely than he will any other organizer that ever come to his front door. Talk to yOur neighbor. Let him know that yea are a fellowman that you are a fraternalist, that you attend your fraternal meetings. He will want to know where you belong, why you take such an interest in his misfortunes when you are not his blood relation; why you come to him in the dark of the night with help, just as the Mariner at sea welcomes the lighthouse to guide him in the dark of night. Are we our brothers keepers? We can all be of help!"

The Editor then spoke, encouraging our membership to write to the Vestnik, to bring a message from every hamlet asking that they refrain from offending each other with unbratherly and unsisterly remarks. This is the only way we shall and will progress.

If we all work together, we can not only become the best Order in the state. of Texas, but in America." Brother Hosek said. He congratulated Lodge .154 on their Anniversary. "It is an inspiration to meet here together in this fashion."

. Strans

the potential resident. He urged us all to work for the Rest Home cause for it is a monument to the Czech people of Texas, and pointed out that he would gladly receive and acknowledge at the proper time any and all contributions for the Home from anyone present. He pointed out the continual progress the Home is making and the continued need for contributions to make it independent. One sister gave Brother Navratil a nice check from her son in New York.

The attendance prize winner was not present so the "kitty" was increased for next's month's drawing. The brother whose name was draWn must be sick with regret for having missed the meeting as well as this special celebration.

This, We understand, was the second time his name was drawn and he was not present.

A lovely power mower was on display on the stage with a placard stating it will be given away at as "drawing."

This is a money making project to refurnish the Hall.

The Initiation Meeting was adjourned and we all joined the line into the Cafeteria to partake in the delicious food the busy beehive of sisters had prepared for serving. Our good Czech cooking, • may it be preserved for ever!

FAIR? IT HAS KUCERA'S OK

By Franceis Raffetto City Attorney Henry Payton Kucera leaned back in his chair at City Hall, stabbed the air with his cigar, stared at the ceiling and said gruffly into the telephone in a Czech-tinted accent: "Well now, it is my recollection that years ago it was tried and did not pass.

We will check the ordinances . .. " The sturdy, stocky former Fayette County farm boy was in the process of performing one of his two dedicated functions: (1) protecting the city's interest or (2) protecting the citizens from. the city.

"The City Attorney's job is not only to represent the city," Kucera said, recently.

"Many times, according to my concept, he has to see that people are not mistreated by the city."

Currently, Kucera and his staff are concerned with the massive federal and state highway program and the question of who finances the relocation of utilities. It is a fight that has rounds staged in Washington and Austin, as well as P.alas — but Kucera is at home in any legal ring.

The City Attorney ended his thirtythird year on the job last May 12. Now his black, lank hair is tinged with gray, he walks with a cane after driving ink) a concrete culvert five years ago on Lis way to plead a case in Austin from Camp Hood. But at 61, he works relentlessly and doggedly on a case and has his legal finger in every pie baking in his eight-lawyer City Hall office.

Kueera's knowledge of Dallas affairs o e s beyond the city's legal problems.

33 years of experience have given him an encyclopedic awareness of other city departments. His reputation as "city treasury watchdog" carne from years of keen bargaining for such things

VLSTNIK — WEST, TEXAS as "right-of-way, needed land and services."

"I doubt if we could ever have had Central Expressway without Kucera's skillful dealing with attorneys for railroads whose right of way was inVolved," former mayor Woodall Rodgers once said.

"Too much credit cannot be given him for that."

Kucera is one of a family of 12 children, of whom seven taught school, eight went to college, three to business school.

"Everybody worked his way through school," he said.

The family lived on a .P0-acre farm 13 miles from LaGrange in Fayette County. The father, John Kucera, came to this country at 13 and' the family spoke Czech in the home, "We raised the usual things—cotton, corn. My father was very much interested in the public school system." recalled..Kucera. The six boys, incidentally, included three lawyers, a cotton executive, an insurance man and a railroad man.

The City Attorney's formal education included grade school in Ellinger, college work at Sa,mt Houston State Teachers in Huntsville and law school graduation at the University of. Texas, dlelayed by illness in 1923. He becanv assistant city attorney under J. J'. Collins in 1925 and when appointed, top man in 1935, had been the city's trial lawyer for several informative years.

Kucera has done much to establish the Texas laws on tax assessment, condemnation of property for, public housing, and zoning.

The city lawyer's military career ended with his banged-up .knee. But he had been an enlisted man in World War I, and a major in military government in Italy in Worly War II. He was a reserve colonel when his injury -occurred.

One of the most stirring sights, a hunting companion says, is to see Kucera flail the brush with his.cane, stick up his shotgun and bring down a startled "I like to hunt duck, quail and doves, but in season of course," he smiled.

Kucera has an old C r/cch family recipe for delicious country ~dosage. He and a brother used to make it personally in an Elm Street butcher shop, now they merely supervise the operation and safeguard the recipe. The list of close friends who get sausage os gifts has swollen over the years and every fall, taste buds all over Dallas begin to throb in anticipation. Kucera never complains. EXcept now a solitary pig does not suffice for the sausage project.

Kucera sees as the biggest' probleth confronting Dallas "providing an ade-

Wednesday, June 18, 1958 quate water supply and providing adeivate traffic arteries for constantly increasing traffic."

He says, "Our present water program is by far ahead of a lot of other cities.

We are not only talking about it. We are doing something about it." He saw progress in the traffic artery field, too, mentioning Harry Hines, Hampton Road, Garland Road and other big projects either built or improved in the last decade.

Kucera's political philosophy was summed up in a Dallas News editorial quoting his remarks to the Federal Bar Association, Kucera blamed "a gimme philusophy" for much of the loss of States' rights. He also deplored "the failure of states to carry out their responsibility, thus bringing in the Federal Government."

A more informal bit of Kucera legal philosophy: "You see if the thing is honest, fair and just -- and it's likely to be legal."

Mr. and Mrs. Kucera live in a pleasant house at 7121 Brook Cove Lane with their daughter, Karolyn, a University of Texas graduate who has turned to banking.

At a vigorous 61, Kucera should stand at the helm of the city for a good many years yet. A city employee may retire at 60 but must retire at 70.

Has the increasing mass of state and federal laws and regulations been refleeted in this city over the years?

"The growth of Dallas has forced upon the city the enactment of ordinances for the general welfare that were not necessary in years gone by,". says Kucera.

"On the other hand, people realized the need for them and they have been the need for them and they have been better accepted than they used to be.

The only major thing that affects the hame owners and property Owners have been the zoning ordinances," he claimed.

The veteran city attorney added: "These rose out of necessity — because people demanded protection for their property."

Fraternally yours, Mrs. John Susen -' 4 WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls, Vacation time is at hand . The office worker with two weeks pay in his pocket is torn between "going someplace" or just resting at home and catching up on all the repairs that have been laid aside until vacation and painting, between sewing and repairing clothes or just resting at home.

Since we cannot all take a trip around the world, or to South America on a banana boat, Europe or even the United States, we can settle for a much less extensive nd less expensive tour and ju. moke a few side trips from home for history and color of early Texas and its inhabitants.

A year or so ago, the Humble Oil and Refining Co. together with the Texas Historic Foundation published a pictoral map, attractive enough to frorne, of historical hmnes, and buildings throughout Texas.

These Texas landmarks are just a few miles from your own front door.

Nathaniel Hawthorne once penned: "If cities were built by the sound of

One does not have to go to Natchez to see "a seven-piece french Victorian suite made for a royal family, a square rosewood piano, Venetian mirrors, and elaborate lamps, silk draperies, together with other furnishings of great beauty.

In the dining room, beneath a massive Venetian crystal chandelier, stands a Sheraton banquet table with an inlaid border, capable or accommodating twenty guests."

Wednesday, June 18, 1958 out the state, and in some vicinities numbers of them are concentrated in small area.

In recent years, various comniunities have become increasingly aware of the value of tours, both to their local economy, and to foster appreciation of and pleasure in oldi homes. The Jefferson , Historical Pilgrimage is now in its 11th year. The Anderson and Montgomery treek is now in its fourth year, a feast of historical riches slowly becoming known to Texans. A newspaper article regarding this stated that "a number of homes almost 100 years old were open in Montgomery. In each were antiques enough to make many an antique dealer weep, because they Nveren't for sale."

Many of the choicest and most interesting places are in publicly owned spots.

For instance, Sam Houston's fascinating old Steamboat House in Huntsville sits in the state park there. Another home in a state park, recently opened to the public, is former Governor Hogg's beautiful old plantation home in Varner-Hogg State Park in. Brazoria County.

Brazoria. County is full of historical spots. Twelve miles north of West Columbia is Orozimbo, home of Dr. James A. Phelps, one of Stephen F. Austin's old three hundred colonists, hospital surgeon for General Houston's army, at San Jacinto. Here the captured Santa Anna was held prisoner from July to November 1836. The old town of Columbia was the capital of the Republic of Texas for a short time, and Congress Oak under which the first Congress of the Republic of Texas was held. Velasco, near Freeport at the mouth of the Brazos River was an important place of the era‘ of colonization and the Republic of Texas' first seaport, also a site of the Battle of Velasco and the signing of the treaty between Texas and Mexico after Santa Anna's defeat at San Jacinto.

Another early home of Governor Hogg interestingly furnished, is at Quitman in Northeast Texas.

These furnishings are in a lovely old past Texas plantation home that may be seen along with others. each year during an annual pilgrimage to Jefferson. The Texas Almanac 1956-57 lists Jefferson the county seat of Marion County, with many historic old structures there. The oldest being the Presbyterian Manse established about 1850, originally built by General Rogers. The Haywood House originally a hotel in days of War Between the States; the Cornelus home built in 1868; Mary Carlson home with furnishings brought to Jefferson by steamboat; Guarding Oak haa-se built in 1859, the Scantlin home, Freaman Plantation House built in 1850, Meisenheimer home, the Old Excelsior Hotel and an old slave prison nearby.

In Central Texas there is a little town named Norse where stands a 100-yearold rock home in good repair. Once each year in this little community the descendents of the early Norwegian settlers in red cotton weskits and caps, longsleeve blouses, and black skirts with white aprons, all native costumes of the Hardanker section of Norway, serve a giant smorgasbord, serving 'more than 50 Norwegian dishes from treasured and handed-down recipes.

How many are familiar with the quaint old German Sunday Houses of Fredericksburg, or the delightful old Prince Soloms Inn at New Braunfels, which has the decor of the gay and gaslit 90's where guests may relax in the peaceful atmosphere of a bygone day?

He steps back in time who stops at the old Stage Coach Inn, which has the appearance of a columned early-Texas home, at old Salado. For more than a century this inn has delighted its guests.

Atmosphere if the Old West exules from every corner of the Inn and the food is delicious. Also at Salado is a beautiful ly kept old home, possibly the only complete plantation unit in Texas with house, land, slave quarters, stables and burial grounds. It has been lived in continuously by the same family for an entire century. In El Paso County, at San Elizario, still stands the oldest house in Texas, built by the Spanish viceroy in 1683 to be used as his residence, presidio and court of justice.

It is possible to mention only a few of the many interesting old Texas homes that may be seen throughout the state.

These are historical mansions or modest houses such as the home of the first Texas President, Anson Jones, at old Washington-on-the-Brazos; there is the famous and beautiful "Liendo." home of the colorful Elisabet Ney, world-famous sculptress: "The Mansion" at Austin, home of Texas governors since 1853; the Peter Ellis Bean Home, near Nacogdoches„" pillared mansions, log structures, thick-walled adobe buildings; there is, variously, quaintness, sturdiness, magnificence; there are homely furnishings, with crane-swinging fireplaces, old patchwork quilts, antique guns, or there are homes with all the stately elegance of ante-bellum, days. Whatever appeals to the individual, whether it be a set of dueling pistols of a rugged early Texan which catches the eye of the male member of the family, or furnishings with the patina of long use that his wife lingers over, or the china or corncob dolls and homemade cradels of long ago that fascinate children — any of these, and much move, may be found in these

many wonderful old Texas homes. Every County in our state has something historical and interesting. For a starting point on visiting some of the many places that may be seen it would be a good idea tar request from the Texas Historical Foundation, 202 First Federal Building, Austin, Texas, a copy of the map referred to at the beginning of this article. "The Texas Almanac" published by the Dallas Morning News, Dallas, Texas, is another excellent guide. For fascinating background on many of the homes, it is especially suggested that readers obtain a copy of "Early Texas Hosries," by Dorothy Kendall and Maruine Whorton Reclway. And then, dear reader, take to the open road — and don't forget the byways many of which lead to the most interesting places in the world.

Most of the above is reprinted from the East Texas Chamber of Commerce periodical but your imagination should be fired up by now to the point of realizing that your vacation can be very interesting to yourselves at almost no cost and very educational to your school age girls and boys.

etrana 24 Dear Brothers and Sisters: We are very encouraged to have received entry blanks for the All Youth Day on June 29th in Ennis, from some of our youth of our smaller lodges who do not have Youth Leaders. To these other lodges, especially, we urge that you enter your youth in the various events. We know you have wonderful talented children and this program should be an opportune time to get some activities and interest started for the Youth in your lodge.

It has been my experience to learn that the Youth are always so eager to be on a program and to do things. All it takes is fer some efforts to be made by the parents, and particularly by the good Sisters.

Please let me know and I will be happy to forward you the entry blanks, or you might complete those printed in your Vestnik.

It would be so encouraging if our small lodges would have their Youth represented at their All Youth Activity Day. Why don't you show some of the other lodges that you too really have talented youth.

If we can be of assistance to any of you, please let me know and I shall be happy to do all that I can.

With our best wishes to you in your Youth work, I remain Fraternally yours, EMMA CESKA, Youth Dir.

While the number of claims is about the same as a year ago, the dollar amount is $2,000,000 larger and is at a rate which indicates a possible annual toll this year of aver $120,000,000. That would be about $10,000,000 more than 1957 and $45,000,000 more than five years ago.

Report From Dr. Skrabanek College Station A Texas A. & M. agricultural economist has predicted that Texas exodus from the farm to the city will be slower in the future.

Dr, Rbbert Skrabanek says that it is highly probable that the farm population will continue to decline but at a much slower rate than the 26.6 per cent about 369,000 — who have moved to the city from 1950-57.

In the survey made by Texas A. &M. in cooperation with the USDA, Dr. Skrabanek said also that the farm population declined more slowly in Texas than in nearby Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana where the loss ws 30.2 per cent during the same period.

However, compared with the nationwide farm to city movement, Texas' 26.6 per cent has been much higher than the national average of 18.6 per sent.

The Texas farm population — 1,018,000 — made up 11.1 per cent of the state's population in 1957, with five out of every 100 farm residents in the U. S. residing in Texas.

There was much migration to and from farms during the 1950-57 survey period, Dr. Skrabanek added. An estimated 815,000 moved from Texas farms during that peridd, but at the same time 314,000 moved to farms.

There were an estimated 199,000 births among farm population during the period and estimated 67,000. deaths.

The migration from farms was heavier in areas of prolonged drouth than in areas where the drouth was less serious.

SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: Last night, WedneSday, June 11. we played State Farm Insurance team and lost by a. score of 11 to 1. Our players just couldn't seem to get started, as our opponent scored 4 runs in a rocky first inning and after that, we simply were trying to play catchup, which we never did. Regardless of the score, the fellows all enjoyed the game and all went home happy. Sure they would have liked to have won, but it just wasn't our night, though we did play pretty good ball.

Three of our players quit the team, for various reasons, and one of our players cannot play because he is going to school so we have not been at full strength the last couple of games. However, with the players we still have on the squad, we are capable of playing as good a game as before, but what is really hurting is the fact that they have put two more strong teams in our league and it is not so much our being a weak team, but our opposition is so much stronger.

We will be in there playing our best and having a lot of fun, good spirit, exercise and enjoyment regardless of the score of the games. The pressure of always winning and trying to stay undefeated creates a feeling of distress when you lose and dampens the spirit of the players, so from here on out, we will get back to the original purpose of our having a team at our Lodge, to promote friendship, fraternalism, exercise, teamwork and better relationship with our young people and all our members who come out to the games and visit together and enjoy an evening with one another.

Frank Mach III pitched a good game, allowing 7 chits, 3 walks and had 4 strike outs. Had he received better support, the game would have been much closer.

All Frank needs is a little more experience and he will get better each game

that he pitches. Allen 'Dunn, our catcher had a good game behind the plate.

Ralph Ramas, the State Farm pitcher had another good night' against us, allowing only 2 hits and one walk.

One of those hits was a homerun by our catcher, Allen Dunn, who really walloped that bail. Allen also got on base by being hit with a pitched ball. Also getting the other hit for us was Albin Vrana who singled in the 3rd inning.

Next week, Wednesday, June 18, we play McCord Music, first game, 7:30 p.m. at Samuels No. 2. Hoping to see a large turnout at this game.

We were hollered to have one of our former ball players, who started with us when we first organized the team in 1954, Bob Wright and his charming wife, Margie, at the game. They are here on vacation from Iowa. Good to see you both and we sincerely hope you can be back home with us in the near future.

After the game, nearly all of the players, their wives and children and a lot of our fans all met at Keller's Drive Inn, had refreshments and enjoyed visiting together and discussing our Benefit Dance which will be Saturday night, June 28th at our Lodge Hall at 2425 Floyd St. Last Monday night June 9, we played the Resistal Hat team in Garland, Texas, and we beat them by a score of 10 to 6. The winning pitcher was Frank Mach III, who pitched a good game. His battery mate behind the plate was Adolph Janecka, Ted Dusek Jr., and Jack Moffitt hit home runs and Ray Marek and Ben Jarma hit Cripples. Getting two hits a piece for us were Jack Moffitt, Ben Jarma and Frank Mach III, and getting single base hits were Rayymond Marcia Ted Dusek Jr., Jody Rejcek and Edward Mac,h. Getting an base with two walks each were Ted Dusek and Jody Rejcek. Though this was a practice game the fellows who went, really enjoyed the game.

I wish to remind our members, friends and readers that on Saturday night, June, 28th, we will haire our annual "Softball Team Benefit Dance" at our Lodge Hall and all proceeds will go to the softball team so that we can field another team next season. We will deeply appreciate your presence and support at our Dance and we feel it will be a very good and enjoyable dance for all attending. Mr. John Rejcek's orchestra will play for this special dance. Hoping to see you at our next game, Wed. June 18 at 7:30 p.m. and at our Dance Saturday night June 28 Fraternally yours Ben Jarma, Mgr. Softball Team, Lodge Pokrok No. 84 Dallas, Texas

U. T.'S Dr. Micek Has Tolstoy Book Released U. T.'S DR. MICEK HAS TOLSTOY BOOK RELEASED

Making the news on two different fronts on the same day is a rare occurranee, but it happened a few days ago to Dr. Eduard Micek, chairman of the departa-tent of Slavonic languages at the University of Texas.

Hardly had the news of his scheduled retirement as chairman of the department at the University next September been announced (Dr. Micek will be 67 in August), came the release from the presses of the Firm Foundation Publishing House of Dr. Micek's new book, "The Real Tolstoy." The new volume, only 61 pages in length, gives the personal impressions of the author regarding the great 19th Century Russian author of "War and Peace," and is being distributed by the Czech Literary Society, Box 7555, University Satation, Austin. Price $2.00.

Dr. Micek, in an introduction to the new book, explained that in 1960, the 50th anniversary of the death of Tolstoy will be commemorated and that his impressions of him add something to the information regarding the worldfamous Russian writer.

"No man in the 19th Century so profoundly stirred the human conscience as Lev Nikolajevich Tolstoy," wrote Dr. Micek. "He was not merely the conscience of Russia but the conscience of the civilived world of his time. The democratic and religious gift of Tolstoy to the world was the result of the merger by marriage of two families of the Russian nobility: the Vaekonskij family, represented by Maria NikolajevnaValekonskaja and the Tolstoy family, represented by . Count Nikolaj Bich Tolstoy. To this couple was born on Aug. 28 (Sept. 9) 1828 at their estate of Jasnaja Poljana, a third son, Lev Nikolajevich, who was to immortalize the name of the family and of the birthplace as one of the world's greatest novelists and spiritual leaders."

Dr. Micek was a student in his native Czechoslovakia when in 1909 he visited Russia and met Tolstoy because he was interested in Tolstoy's life and work.

The result of that visit added to information gathered through the intervening years led to the writing and publication of "The Real Tolstoy" in which the author's relations with other great Russians of his time are related. Special emphasis is given to Dr. D. P. Makovicky, Tolstoy's physician and. the Russian author's apost faithful friend. Others mentioned are T. G. Masaryk, first presi-

dent of the Czechoslovak Republic Tur genev, Ivan Bunin Fet, Strakhiv, and Gaj, other Russian writers and literary figures.

Dr. Micek was born Aug. 19, 1891, in Frydek, Czechoslovakia and has been a member of the University of Texas faculty since 1926. He has been one of the nation's leading exponents of study in the Russian, Czech and other Slavonic languages and has served for many years as chairman of that department at the University . After his education in the schools of his native country climaxed with reception of his PhD degree from Charles University in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Dr. Micek studied at King's College,. University of London, in 1924.

His education was interrupted for a time by World War I when he served in the Czechoslovak Army from which he was given an honorable discharge in 1921.

Dr. Micck previously has published "The Spirit of American Education" and "America's Learning" as well as a group of Czech readers. His main interests center around Czech and Russian literature and in public speaking. He is a member of the American , Association of Teachers of Slavonic and East European Languages and is a former president of that association.

Besides his teaching of Slavonic languages, Dr. Micek is better known here for his work in prepetuating a distinctive Czech tradition — the festival of Majales -- which has been held at the University of Texas each spring eve since the festival was banned in his na.4 Live Czechoslovakia by the Communist regime about eight years ago.
