Smetana Ceskemu Narodu

Kalenditi L_krskovkch &chid

Dne 12. kvetna je 75 vSrrodi fimrti Bedticha Smetany, slavneho deskoho sklada tele a narodniho buditele. Narodil se dne 2. btezna 1824 v Litomyali v Cechach a zemtel dne 12. kvetna r. 1884, tedy oslavujeme letos jeho 135 narozeniny.

Co znamenal Smetana pro deskY narod vyjacitil president Masaryk ye svem "Poselstvi" Narodnimu shromaaleni, vlade a lidu dne 28. kijna 1928, o desatem deskoslovenske samostatnosti. "Vedle Palackeho mei bych, zadinaje tieba jen DobrovskYm, ocenit dlouhou tadu bu ditelfi osvoboditelf1; chci ptipornenout alespori je'ate jednoho — a to z iady umeet Smetanu. Nemfdeme bYti dosti vdedni za to, co svou hudbou vykonal pro politicks vzpruhni sveho milovaneho muzikantskeho naroda."

Ve sve "Svetove revoluci" napsal Masaryk: "Slyael jsem, jak Smetanova hudba za \Talky vaude vzpruZovala a silila: Smetana se hned v mladi zudastnil revoluce 1848, svyvni operami a svou hudbou ptedstihl na ge osvobozeni. Libuae je vice ne'Z proroctvim je hudebnim festivalem naroda niteime jiz osvobozeneho".

Davno pied tim Masaryk zahajil Smetanovou svou vYchovnou buditelskou ein nost v techach. JiZ v prvnim eisle sve revui "Nova Doba" uvetejnil elanek o Smetanovi, napsanS7 Charlottou Masary kovou, vYbornou pianistkou, ktera konei elanek slovy: "Smetana hudbou podava, co historikove svYrni dejinami",

Prvni oknek Prvni distrikt oznamuje, jeji.cla jarnl schtee se bude konat station tketi nedeli v kvetnu to jest, nine 17. kv&tna 1959 v Shilow Hall a naSe 2drufiene tady v tomto distriktu jsou k ladaal4 ave.ne.

Dnes se v gak zda, Ze zaeina druha poto pa sveta a jestli to brzo nepolevi tak mo Zna ji budeme i mit, nebot' uz nekolik dni leje jak na gi rikavali, jak z hrnca-a eim dal, ti mvic tak nevim. Tedy jsem si vzponmel, ze bych mob' nee° napsat do nageho Vestniku. Take si zarovefi pfi pominarn jestli ten na g neustab.r spech je opravdu potfebnY a nebylo by lepgi upotfebit trochu to Indianske filosofie a nestarat se tak moc do budoucnosti a nage finaeni prostfedky. Jeden statni Indian kdy byl tazan proe vice nepracuje se udivene ptal, proe by mnel vic pracovat. No piece proto aby jsi vydelal vic penez a nae bych chtel vic penez kdy mne stab to co nyni vydelani? Aby jsi je inohl uschovat do budoucnosti tak aby aZ bude start' abys potom uz nemu sel moc pracovat. Hm, povida Indian ja, nepracuji moc u'Z nyni. Tak vidite jak si to dovedl prakticky pfedstavit. A mi, gkoleni narod, se neustale Zeneme za temi tolary tfeba je nekdy ani mit nemu sime a take jisto vime ze na konec si je sebou vzit nebudeme moci.

No, ale to je jak se fika to lidska natura, na misto abychom se te gili zdivotvorne pfirody a v geho krasneho co nam phroda a •Zivot poskytuje. mi se slepe Zeneme za mamonem aZ koneene mnohcly uz moc pozde pozname, Ze takovy- Zivot j e vlastne bezfieelnY, ze jsme vlastne jenom zivorili, meli neustale moc pilno, tak Ze jsme ye skuteenosti tech pfirodnich kras a praveho Zivotnilio Atesti ani nepoznali. ae eas nam utekl a zustali nam jenom trudne vzpominky.

0 jak mnohem lepe bS7valo by bylo kdybychom bYvaly venovali vice easu a porozumeni vs-emu kolem nas a radovali se a oceriovali v ge pekne a dobre tim zajiste bychom prospely vice nejen sobe ale i v gem kolem nas. Mame site jeden peknY zvyk dayati kvetiny ph pohripu, to zajiste pote gi to rodinu, ten mrtyY vgak uZ o tom nevi. MoZna, Ze za vota kvetiny nedostal nikdy a po smrti I se z nich radovat uZ nemtiZe.

No v'ae toto je pfilelitosti vklycky dost, jako svatky matek a °tett ktere zs nedlouho zde budou.

Ve stkedu, dne 22, dubna 1959 Jak se kin, jest lepe zadit tieba trochu pozcie neZli nezadit vubec, abychom potom nelitovali prod jsme to tenkrat neueinili, eas na nas eekat nikdy nebude a mame ho kaZdY vymetenY, tak Ze to stale odkladani se mnohdy nevyplati a nad vlastne odkladat new na zittek, kdyZ to mitZem udelat pekne jette dnes. No, ale uZ musim s tou sentimentalitou prestat aby ste si potom nemysleli, Ze zadinaro bYt moo star Y vidim vtechno jenom v tinavYch barvach. 0 ne, si jette potad vtimam fteho i toho ritZove ho a prave pozoruji, e ta potopa ze kte re jsem mel ze zaeatku strach, asi take nebude, neb jiZ. se to zaeina, trochu rozjastiovat.

Tak jsme si mohli zpivat minulY Ctvrtek, patek a sobotu co toto pis je nedele 12. dubna, kdyd nam tady v nagem okoli dobte zamoklo. A nebylo toho ani moe ani Indio bylo to tak "akorat".

Donau jsme jit nemuseli protode jsme byli doma a divali se jak pekne Ted' ale muslin oznamit, e po majove sehtzi ktera bude konand 3. kvetna, bude se po'radat spoleena svaeina a spolkove sestry jsou dadane aby do sine pfinesly nejake peeivo ostatni obstard iád.- Budeme jim za to povdeene.

Dale bylo usneseno, aby rad spoleene se spolkem Seaton Oslo 5. RVOS poftiidal vYrooni piknik. Ptinrodne bylo datum ur-

Ve stfedu, dne 22. dubna 1959 Ceno na 12. eervence, ale nasledkern kolnosti modna, e bude muset bYt zme neno a jestli bude, tak to oznamim co nej dtiv.

Ted' se •yratim ke sehtzi druheho 0krsku ktera se odbyvala 22. btezna v na'Si radove sini. Schtze byla eetne zastoupena, na,v gteva byla dobra. Podrobny prA bCh podali ve Vestniku ze dne 8. dubna, sestra Clara Bejlova., evieitelka mlacieZe za druhY okrsek a teditelka detskeho programu, pti zminene bratr Calvin Cervenka, ptedseda okrsku a A. L. BoudnY, tajemnik. VSeeky zpra vy byly v anglicke stati a ja, ani nevim jestli okrsek ma eeskeho zpravodaje. Co se mne nemile dotkio bylo, e kro me uvitani bratrem Kagparem tadovjim ptedsedou nebylo p5 jednani proneseno ani jedno Ceske slovo. Jedina, vyjimka byla v programu dCti, ktere zaz pivaly nekolik eeskYch pisni a kratkY pro slov Dr. Edvarda Taborskeho, ktery pied naSel o dne gnich pomerech v Ceskoslovensku.

Kdy2 jsem ptijel do Texasu v roku 1904 a Jednota prave pfeSla prvni zaeatky, tak ye stanovdch prvni ela,nek znel: UCel Jednoty je zachovani slovanske reei v teto zemi. A dale, th za Clena mute bYt prijat jen kdo je mocen slovanskeho jazyka. A v protokolu radu C. 47. ze dne 9. 'derma roku 1907 je poznam ka: "aby nikdo nebyl prijat za Clena Jednoty kdo neni schopen slovanskeho jazyka a kterY tad by takoveho Clena p11 jab v padu tmrti musi vyplatit pojistku sam."

Ale Jednota neustale zrastala a okolno sti donutily aby onen elanek byl ze stanov yypugten. Jednota vzrtstala do rozmeth o kterYch se zakladatelinn jejim ani ve snu nezdalo, pkertstla tradovnu ye Fayetteville a zavedeni anglieke keel obzylagte k yttli miadS generaci bylo do jiste miry nutne. Ale Jednota je zasadne organisaci eeskou.

Jsem toho nazoru, de vgiehn i co byli ptitomni one sehtze rozumeli Cesky. Jedine co bylo a to bylo ad po schtzi se§el se nas hloueek a zaz pivali jsme Si nekolik eeskYch pisni. DobrYmi zpovaky jsou bratr a sestra Vytopilovi z Wheelock a br, a ses. Jos. Hrachovi. Pomahal ndm take Pepik Mikeska a jini jiehd jmena jsem Si nezapamatoval.

Druhy dopis je od bratra Ig. 8enkyfika z El Campo. Otu vaecky jeho dopisy a gratuluji mu k jeho dopisovatelske einnosti. Vzpomina, te jeho rodiSte byly Bo huslavice na Morave a pri torn vzpomind na ty krasne Ceske pisne ktere co Skolni deti zpivali. Mimochodem reeeno zpev tarn byl zaraden do povinnYch Akol nich predmetu a narodni pisne byly vy:ueovany heed ye Skole.

KONEC

STNIK — WEST, TAS POSLEDNi LIDE Byl teply den koncern anora.

Snehova kora neda yno pustila. Prosvit lo slunce, zmodralo nebe, zadychly teplejk vetry — a veAkera, tvaknost zeme nahle se zmenila.

ChuravY EduS sedel na lekei klade pted nizkou chatou, zabalen v zimnik a 2eninu vinenku. Byl vychrtly, voskove ZlutY a uSi mu silne od hlavy odstavaly.

Chvilemi odkaAlal, lepe se zabalil a pinYmi douSky hltal do sebe slunee. V jedne zatuchle jizbe stale ho dusilo a davno 112 eekal, a.2 bude se moci vy yleci na vzduch.

Churavel od podzimu a sotva se vla,Vzduchem byl jako opilY. Byl silnY pro jeho churava prsa. A piece ne chtel odejit do dusne svetnice, kde vSeeko mu pachlo, smrdelo zatuchlou plisni.

Sedel, nemyslil nic a toliko dYchal. Oasena jen obeztel okolo sebe, kde se u2 zvolna probouzel kvot. VAak byl u'2 slab, 2e nevedel ani, zda v gecko to skuteene vidi, anebo je to jen zdani a sneni.

Obloha byla hluboka, modra, a mr6,6 ky jak vlakna baviny lehce ji pluly. HolYmi vetvemi sousedni zahrady ,provanul chvilemi vitr, a v tomto pohybu vzduchu bylo 112 tolik divneho jarniho 2ivota, de jealiny dostaeil k uvedomeni na,hleho ptevratu. Zahradou Aeptal tenoun ky pramenek, nasycen modti oblohy, a pod chatou nevelkY kousek smele a jasne hueely viny uvolneneho potoka.

VSecko to citil churavY Edna tak jako nikdy. Ba i to pied chvili vzbuzend moucha, ktera se z trouchnive Aterbiny vydrala na slunce a bzueive proletla okolo jeho ucha, vzbudila jeho pozornost.

Smysly jeho byly ted' daleko jemnejk nea byly dtive. VSecko se v nich tak jasne, ureite obra2elo, jak nikdy pied tim. I zvlaStni, zemitY zapach z podsYchajici prsti probehl jeho smyslem.

A nil tom poeitil, jak schazi tu divna a jemu ptijemna vnne. Vzpomnel si, 2e jeate loni vala tu na dvore ze schnou-. cich prken, ze kterYch delal sve hrube postele, sktine a rakve. Letos ji nebylo, letos mu schazela.

A tato vane ptipomnela mu, elm bST -valdrie mjtd',nyichaou troskou. Veera ua ptemYSlel, Ce by mel jednou, naposled pracovat sobe. V2dyr byl u2 tolika lidem zhotovil posledni sttek, a jenom na sebe zapomnel.

Na dvilr se vehnalo nekollk deti. VAecky byly drobne a bose. Ruce i tvate mely pokryty hlinou. Byla tu Edu gova AnnuS . a a jests jich nekolik z blizka. S poktikem probehly dvorkem a tak jako husy obsedly pied chatou, rYpaly hliny a hnetly z ni placky.

Edua se zadival na (Teti. Tak jests ni-

Btrana 11 kcly necitil s nimi. Zamyslil se nad jejich praci, jakoby seal v jejich stiedu, 2c chvili zaponmel na sebe.

2,500 Rabbits Killed in Rabbit Drive Over 115 shotgun "totin" hunters killed 2,500 rabbits in and around the Maverick Community last month in March. This second annual rabbit hunt which drew hunters from as far away as Lubbock and Post, Texas, was sponsored by the 14 family Maverick Rural Neighborhood Progress Club. Ballinger and Bronte merchants donated supplies for a noon barbecue and women folks brought salads, cakes and pies. A good oldfashioned time was had by all. Here's looking forward for the one next year.

Maverick farmers and ranchers said OTTO L. HOSEK rabbit dainage was sharply curtailed after last year's hunt and they indicated DALLAS, TEXAS that this year's drive Was even more successful.

7. Shut off motor before refueling and be very careful about smoking aboard.

Wipe off all spilled gas before you fire up your motor again.

8. Do not sit on kapok-filled life preservers, as it will compress the filler and reduce their bouyancy.

9. Keep a sharp loukout for subtr.erger objects such as logs, driftwood, bottles, cans or other objects that could damage your boat or the propeller on your motor.

10. And above all -- Always respect other people's rights in the water. Do not operate your boat near swimmers.

Watch for water skiers and skin divers.

Reduce speed that ancharage areas or boat houses. And please keep reasonable distance from fishermen as they are entitled to fish on their license and don't appreciate "Hot Rodders" or "Show Offs" on skies.

Have fun and be careful -- The life you save may be your own.

River Otters Few Texans realize there are river otters to be found on East Texas streams and judging by human standard's the otter is on inquisetive, happy-go-lucky fellow who takes things as they come, and are happy and playful by nature.

It is a member of the weasel family and like its cousin the sea otter, has become adapted to live in or near the water.

At first glance one might mistake it for a large "wiener dog." Otters haVe a long, slender, streamlined body, a long thick ta rpereing tail, and webbed feet. The head is bread and flat and' their legs are short. The f ill. • is short and dense and the upper parts are rich, glossy, dark brown and grayish on lips and cheeks.

Total length of these little pups is four feet and their tail is 18 inches their hind feet are only 5 inches. The grown ones weigh is 12-15 pounds and occasionally one will go over twenty pounds.

Records are available dating back 30 years indicating they have been found in Erazoria, Brazos, Chambers, Jefferson Jasper, Matagorda, Nacogdoches, Newton, Orange, Polk, Rusk, Titus, Tyler, Victoria and Wood, Counties. They are notorious wanderers and may stray several miles from their home. So if you should see one of these strange creatures — don't change your brand — it will be Otto the Otter the most happy fellow. So long till next time.

Yours truly, Otto L. Hosek

At the District VI Meeting which was held at the Moravian Hall, Sunday, April 19th, Brother Paul Sablatura was elected president of the District for the year 1959-60.

Brother officers to serve with Brother Sablatura are: F. K. Bucek re-electeid Vice-President; Fr. Olsovsky re-elected District VI Secretary and Sister Krutilek also re-elected District VI Treasurer.

Sister Breska wials elected District VI Youth Director.

The Youth Program was presented in the Czech Language by District VI Youth. Poems, skits, song and Czech folk dances were presented by these young people for the delight and appreciation of the membership present.

The meeting was well attended, the Hall was full and lively interest was shown in the discussions so that Brother Hlozek was busy holding the reins of motions presented for adoption by the various members.

The fellowship was wonderful, sincere thanks *o the Catholic Church for the use of its Hall for the meeting; to the sisterhood! of District VI for the refreshments served afterwards. Even the sun smiled down on Moravia to give District VI ta nice day for their District Meeting after having meted them out lots and lots of water the week before.

Please look for a more detailed report in the next week's issue of the Vestnik.

•(

Well Meant Admonition Personal disputes of members should never appear in any fraternal paper.

There always will be some problems and differences of opinions and our paper, that is so widely read by non-members, is not the place to air personal beliefs or still worse, grudges that have nothing in common with the high ideals of our Fraternity as we see it, and which is — Brotherhood!

VESTNIK — WEST, TEXAS

Wednesday, April 22, 1959 members. Although I am a grandma eleven times, I enjoy reading letters you all write!

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Bessie Fojt ) • 4, • ROBSTOWN LODGE NO. 117 Robstown, Texas

Women s Nook LODGE CULAK 165 Moulton, Texas Dear Readers and Writers to our Vest: nik: This is April, after Easter and it is still so cold! NeVer in my life do I remember it so cold ,at this time and the wet weather makes it still more disagreeable.

Last week I put up our heavy coats in Mothballs and this week I took them out again. What an April Fool!

So many of the farmers in our community had all of their cotton planted with high-price seed, now, they have to replant all of it. I am glad we didn't plant our cotton as yet, at least we have saved our seed. What a rosy life on the farm, when nature tells you "I am the boss, not always you."

We had our lodge entertainment last Sunday afternoon — the weather was just right only if more members would come out to our lodge gatherings! How nice that would be!

Those who worked in the field on Sunday, God made them sit it out all week afterwards. We have been very glad to see our member, Brother Joe Bo ehm and his wife present, as Joe has been in the hospital for a month. Glad to hear he is doing fine — also. Mr. and Mrs. Miculka of Floresville never . forget to come, and we rio greatly appreciate their rememberance.

We had a fair attendance and sold out of everything in the kitchen, as I was told. The report of our cash income will be heard in our next meting on May 10, that is the second Sunday in May, So let's all try and be there at our meeting and hear the report of our Social entertainment. Later on in the summer we would like to have a picnic instead of our usually having in in November as the fall weather is too unpredictable.

My letter is longer than I intended, so I'll end for today and leave space in our Vestnik for our Junior writers. Just keep the letters coming in, you young

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Greetings and "Pozdrav" to all. First, I'll fuss about the weather because it is really sloppy, the nites are cold and days are cloudy and mostly drizzle all day. The crops came up, but are not making much progress now. Because of the cold and wet weather they are beginning to turn yellow. We need sunshine and a lot of it.

We had our District organizers meeting last night, Wednesday, April 15, the attendance was good, more than we expected, the weather was threatening and it even drizzled off and on.

The meeting, was called to order by Brother Janak, our president, then the organizers and guests were introduced Brother Hejny took over and made a few opening comments, introduced Brother Kleprlik, who explained how to sell insurance and if you follow his theory, then you organizers should not have any difficulty in approaching and selling your prospects.

Then Brother Hejny explained the various types of insurance and their benefits and what they provide. Brother Kleprlik closed with a very interesting commentary in Czech. I am sure everyone really enjoyed themselves, because both are good speakers.

The following organizers were present from Corpus Christi Lodge No. 56 were Brothers Raymond Peter, Frank Vese,lka, Chas. Holasek and John Stasa, also from Corpus Christi Lodge No. '79 was Brother Frank C. Sticky. Kingsville was represented by Brothers Louis S: Elsik and Frank Elsik their Lodge No. is us.

Orange Grove Lodge No. 152 had Brother John Hranieky. Brother Rudy Kalenda sat in for our own Lodge No. 117.

And last, but not least, was Sister W. J Janca, Sinton Ledge No. 137, a very charming and lovable person, and by the way the only lady organizer from this part of the state. We were very glad to have all the organizers and the other guests who braved the weather and Came over.

I especially want to !mention one special Brother Frank Maravek Sr., I don't know exactly how old he is, but as they say, I'm sure he is pushing 90. He was among us and we are very glad you could make it Brother Moravek, be sure and come again.

Wednesday, April 22, 1959 The meeting was closed by Brother Jlanak and then came the best part the visiting and serving of refreshments.

The irises in their many hues together with the red poppies are in their prime, even the Editor revels in their beauty. Your Editor's favorite flower is a "bursta" (sausage). Not that he doesn't love the beauty of flowers but he being more down to earth favors his sausage, against my kind of bread of the soul, flowers.

Although many of our bulb flowers have faded, their / foliage is still lush and green. This is as it should be for out of this foliage the bulb stores foodstuff for next year's blooms, so, don't cut it down, not until the leaves turn yellow. However, faded flowers and seed bulbs forming from the flower should be cut off to save the strength of the bulb for next year's sturdy blooming. So do check those bulb plants, irises and even roses. Cut off the old heads of rose blooms long gone, both on your bush and climbing roses; they will give you so many more blossoms for your trouble.

I ran across an old saying, popular with nurseryman years ago which goes: "It's better to plant a vive cent plant in a ten cent hole, than a ten cent plant in a five cent hole." So when planting anything from tiny plants, shrubs to trees, make the hole plenty big to accommodate the roots comfortably without crowding. You can tell the saying is old for where can one buy five cent plants anymore? But, the rule still stands, as it is.

Fraternally yours, La Nell Ceska Lodge 66, Waco • CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS Dear Readers: The Youth Club of Lodge 56 held its regular meeting on April 12, 1959.

This meeting was very well attended as are all of the others. After the meeting adjourned, the youth presented an Easter progeam for all who attended this meeting. All of the older people really enjoyed the program. I myself, thought that all who participated in the program did a good job.

The girls between the ages of 12 and up brought decorated eggs representing different characters. This egg that I brought was made like la! swan. I tinted chicken feathers and glued them on an empty egg shell also tinted. For the swan's neck, I used a pipe cleaner and covered it with adhesive tape. I then

Strana 24 painted the neck the same as the feathers. After I finished the swan, I placed it on a base, which was painted blue to represent water and sprinkled glitter all over it. This swan was voted by the 3 judges to place first. I received lots of compliments on the bird. Several other girls had entries, also, that were good.

Thanks to the judges for judging my entry as the best egg creation.

Plans are being made for the month of May on which I will write at a later date.

Will be seeing all of you at the District VII meeting April 26.

It was a family reunion for the Rejceks. (I might say, Rejceks thru out all of Texas) not really, but there were quite a few families there. There were quite a few from Dallas, some from Houston, Corpus Christi, Waco and Abbott. I hope I didn't miss any but there were quite a few there, There were some outsiders, as myself, there too. Ben and Lillie Jarma and their son, Donnie, was there too. They told me I had better write, nice things instead of bad things about them, so I guess I'll have too. Afterall, there isn't anything bad I could possibly write about them, they were absolutely wonderful to everyone. Well, now to tell about the schedule we had.

First of all I rode to Houston with John Rejcek of Abbott. We go to Houston about 9:30 p,m. Then everyone, with the exception of about two or three families, stayed at thehome of Louise and Ed Cooper. I must say that I have never in my life seen so many beds in one house.

There were so many, I didn't bother to count them. Well anyway, everyone got to bed about 2:30 a.m. and woke at about 6'30 or 7 (They always say early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise Ha, Ha!) Then Saturday, everyone fooled around and cleaned up after the kids. At 5:00 p.m. a photographer came and took some pictures of the whole family, and was put in the Sunday paper in Houston. You'd never known there were so many people related in one family! Then at night, a lot of us vent to the Bill Mraz Hall for the dance. We really had a nice time.

Although Lodge Komensky No. 20 was organized a,ncleaccredited in 1897 it was not until 1909 that a permanent headquarters was built. Our present building was dedicated on August 12th, 1909, amid much pomp and: celebration.

Since that time it has stood as the symbol and meetig place of SPJST in Granger! Truly, our two story brick building on a corner of Main Street in Granger is steeped with tradition and memories of some five decades.

Action was taken in our meeting that certainly and surely proper 50th Anniversary ceremonies would be held. It was decided that August 9th, being our regular meeting date and quite close to the actual August 12th of 1909, might be the proper "day of celebration." However, that date was left flexible pending some unforseen circumstances and/or events.

Although no definite action in the way of naming committees was taken, Preliminary plans were rayed. Everyone left the meeting with tile feeling that much thought and planning will be required in order to make this an Event in the life of SPJST in Gianger and in Texas.

The famous Czech (Bohemian) composer died on May 12, 1884, 75 years ago. He was born on March 2, 1824 in Litomysl, Czechoslovakia, so that this year marks the 135th anniversary of hig" birth and the 75th of his death.

The Czechoslovak National Council, representing, Americans of Czechslovak descent, asks therefore that his music be played in the month of May. Concertsand programs on radio stations are planned especially . by Americans of Czechoslovak descent, but Smetana's music is enjoyed by music lovers of many nations. In the United States his lovely opera. "Bartered Bribe" is becoming more and more popular; his sym‘ symphony "My Homeland" (the, movement ."Moldau" in particular) is on the repertoire of leading orchestras of the United States.

To Czechoslovaks Smetana is more than a great compoSer and founder of modern Czech, music; he is a great patriot who speaks to them of the beauty of their country and their nation's greatness.

Yet his own life was filled with sorrow: in 1848 his hope of freedom suffered in the ill-fated revolt against the Habsburgs; he lost his wife and three children, and, as a last blow, he became stone deaf. Like Beethoven he composed some of his fines works without hearing a note, for instance his symphony "My Homeland." Although Smetana lived to attend the 100th performance of the opera "Bartered Bride" at the National Theater in Prague, he could not hear the thunderous ovation.

In paying tribute to Smetana we

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Last night, Wednesday, April 15, our SPJST Fraternal Insurance Softball team opened league play with a 6 to 3 win over the Republic Insurance team at Samuels Diamond No. 1. The weather was more suitable for football, as it was chilly and windy, but /despite the coolness our team managed to fashion out a well deserved victory. In the second game of the evening, played immediately after the conclusion of our game Titche-Goettinger defeated Jones-Blair 6to 5 in another close game.

Wes Jaska, our pitcher, hurled a very good game allowing only 5 scattered hits whiffing 8 batters and walked 5. This was a very good performance considering he was hurling despite having suffered a pulled . muscle which was giving him lots of trouble. Our defense afield was good despite thd 3 errors that were committed as many sparkling plays were made at crucial moments to insure our first victory. Wilbur Munger, our catcher, caught a very good game.

Leading hitters for the game were Robert Huggins with 2 hits: Don Hanks and Ted Dus'ek Jr. both bitting doubles and Jody Rejcek with a single. Getting on base via, walks were Don Faires, Robert Huggins, Don Ha nks, Raymond Smith and Jody Rejcek. Ted Dusek Jr. also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.

If we can keep up this kind of hitting, we should be able to win our share of the games this season.

Last Friday night, April 10, our team beat Hartford Ins. in a practice game 6 to 1 behind the superb hurling of Frank Mach III. His mound performance was Very encouraging and we are looking forward to his pitching a lot of good games for us this season. Leading hitters were Ted Dusek with 4 hits, Don Hanks with 3 hits, Robert Huggins with 2 hits and Don Faires, Gary,( Hutichson, Wilbur Munger, Wes Jaska (a homer) Joe

Over and over you say to yourself: "If I just had a. film to show — but where could I get one to interest a group of housewives?"

There just happens. to be a public agency that will be happy to help you off the horns of that delemma you're hung on — you or anyone else in a similar position.

It's the Texas State Department of Health. Or more precicely the film library of.- the Department's Division of Health Education, with well over 1300 films available for free loan to responsible groups such as yours.

The loan business is booming. During December, January and February health films from the library were seen by an audience of more than 300,000 persons. Subjects ranging from communicable diseases to good human relations.

Would the ladies be interested in an expert account of how foods should be prepared to avoid the possibility of food-borne diseases? Drop a card to the library and ask that "40 Billion Enemies" be booked to you.

On second thought, it might be simpler to call your local health department and tell them your plans. Chances are they will assuihe responsibility for getting the film and supplying a health

There's a sequence in a film titled "Lin' da" to do exactly that.

One of the most powerful films in the library is called "The High Wall." It exi plores the development of prejudices and how it can be communicated to children through parential attitudes.

Most library films are purchased from commercial producers, but when one is needed with a strictly Texas application, division staff members write, /direct, produce and photograph it themselves.

There are some 20 "homemade" films all in sound and color, on library shelves. Moreover, six new ones are in some stage of development right at the moment.
