K EEMU MA SWUM NASE SPOLKOA t SiNE r

Nage spolkove sine nebyly v osadach zbudovane jen za ucelem miti vhodnou mistnost pro potadani tadovYch schtizi, ale jsem jist, ee men sloutiti i jinYm spoleeenskYm a vzdelavacim pottebam nagim v te`ktere osade, maji-li totit pine poslani a tkol svilj vypiniti.

Kde pornery a okolnosti jsou ptiznive mel by bYti obnoven pokus, zalotiti ochotnickY kroutek ze zpilsobilYch siI nebot' ochotnicka divadla maji pro nag, pro nig mladY lid mestskY i venkovskY velikY yYznam.

Divadla jsou jednou z nejlep gich zabay a poskytuji nejen herctim ale i na y glechtilou zabavu -Stevnikm loua poueeni. At' jit se utiva kterakoliv tee, divadlo ochotnicke vabi na g, lid, sdrutu je nas, poueuje i havi.

Nernelo by se ovgem oeekavat, to katdY ochotnik bude pti prvnim vystoupeni dokonalYm umelcem ale cvidi svoji pamet', kdyz uci se svoji mu svetenou nlohu. Tak jak cvieime sve telo tak t'eme cvieiti i svoji parnet' a ueime se vypozorovat jak si roame pri hie poeinat, tak abychom riand ty osoby verne ptedstavovali.

Jit toto skournani samo o sobs jest yelice zajimave a jaka radost pak plyne s toho kdyi dovedli jsme svetenou ulohu ptirozene podati.

Z techto zde uvedenYch ptiein bylo by zahodno, by v na gich osadach kde vlast ni svoji sin a nejake sebe skromnejAi je

vigte, kdyby jste mile sestry a bratti, mladgi i stark se pokusili, obnoviti ochotnickY divadelni kroutek.

Jsem jist, ze pestovanim ochotnickeho divadla nejedna na ge kadova sin by opet otivla a vzne gena by byla do vagi osady, nova zdrava dinnost tak prospeg na nejen vagemu tadu, va gi mladeti ale take i nagi mile Jednote.

Proshn ptemYglejte co tom. — Vim, ze mnozi z Vas tekne, ze toto nevi tidelem nagi Jednoty, ze pravYm a hlavnim neelem nagim je starati se o tivotni pojigte ni u bratrskYch Jednot.

Ano, sestry a bratti, mate pravdu, ale mimo tento hla,vni tee' nageho bratrske ho pojigteni jsou tu je gte tidele jine, ktere nem dlutno sledovati.

Jest nutno postarati se v na gich osadach o osvetujici einnost spolkovou, zdbavni pro dortistajici mLadet, poudnou, clobroeinnou a lidumilnou pro na ge elenstvo.

V mnoh3"7ch nagich osadach krasne si poeinaji a je skuteenS7m pote genim nam se obeas sireastniti.

Jest uspech jejich pro nas povzbuzenirn a jen litujeme, ze v mnohS7ch jinYch osada,ch se nieehot nepodnika.

V nagich distriktnich schrizich se motrio ptesvedeiti, ze mame vgude zpiisobilou mlaclet jen zapotteby je k dobremu snaeni povzbuditi.

Pokusme se tedy, kde jen ponekud mo trio, pracovati k tomu, aby kade nasi

osade °pet zavladl, otiven byl ptatelskk spoleeenskY tivot kolem nageho tadu v tech nagich sinich, ktere jsem jist pro ten Adel byly zbudovane.

Pamatujme na to povtdy, ze jedinY'm lekem proti nedinnosti spolkove jest, -radostna prace spoledenska, ktera pkinagi tadu utitek a rozkvet. — Tedy si zopakujme:— ze elenstvi v Jednote neznamena jenom bezpeCnost naAi rodiny, az nas tu nebude, nSrbei nese ssebou vkhodu, ze jests za Eva mfrieme pestovat bratrske styky, ze se milieme vzajetnne povznaieti, spole6ensky radovati a Eva nagich rodin v mnohem ohledu sprijernniti.

Potadejme vgude slavnosti a hled'rne at' letni slavnosti rozproudi novk vot v naSich osadach.

Nenechte u Vas ptiletitost zapojiti si mladet si ujiti. Jsem jist ze s radosti se sneastni.

Pracujme jedenkatclk o pokrok a rozkvet sveho HALT a dosahneme tadouciho cile. — Nazdar. ) • 4 • ( Schiizc tiskoveho vYboru Pravidelna schilze tiskoveho NT.Tboru SPJST konatl se buds posledni nedeli mesici eervenci, to je 26. eervence 1959, pfesne v 10 hodin dopoledne v budove SPJST v Temple.

Z iivota Bediicha Smetany V clobe Smetanova rimrti, svetovS) hadebni skladatei Fr. Liszt napsal: "Byl to genius". Letos 12. kvetna bylo tomu 75 let, kdy v pra2skem Ustavu pro choroinyslne zemrel naS velikS7 mueednik, vla stenec a zakladatel razovite nejeeStejSi klasicke hudby.

Prave dneSni doba je vhodna k tomu, abychom se v opravdove Ade a lasce sklonili pied nesmrtelnSim dilem hudebniho genia Bedricha Smetany a z hloubi duepodekovali mu za jeho veliky odkaz, kterr nam eechoslovakfun pro yeene easy zanechal.

Mysli mi Ohne vzpominka na dobu predna gky, ye kteilrch slySeli jsme tak mnoho o velicem zakladateli ryze deske hudby, Bedrichu Smetanovi. Byl to on, kterSr poloZil zaklady mnolaSim odvetvim nove Ceske hudby. Na pr. v povahove rysy naSeho lidu v jeho radostech a rozmarech. V "Braniborech", "Daliboru" a "LibuSi" pronika Smetana historii sveho naroda. Ve "Dvou vdovach" vykouzlil stay eeskeho met'anskeho Zivota. V jeho programove hudbe symfonicke, ye "VyS'ehradu" oslavuje velebriSrm zpevern stare kniZeci sidlo v lesku bale a dejri. Je skvelSrm malikem barev a nalad v "Z eeskS7ch luhri a Mit" a proti nemu stavi v "Blaniku" hymnus k vitezne oslave vzkri geneho naroda.

V jeho komorni hudbe "Z meho "Zivota" lief tragedii sveho vlastniho teZkeho Zivota. Dale jsou tu jeho ryze Ceske tance a polky, v klavirni hudbe jedinea ne.

"Oeskou rozdeluje skladatel na etyri druhy pisne: chramovou, milostnou, spoleeenskou a vlasteneckou. V kaZde jednotlive. vete lidi charakteristiku zvukovou pestristi a stupriovanim az k vyvrcholeni monumentalni zavereene ye ty. S orchestralnim prrivodem prisobi — "eeska piseri" velkolei*n dojmem a pro to se stala manifestaeni hymnou pevectVa. Daisim Smetanoidm muZskSim sborem je "Slavnostni sbor" (r. 1870 na slo va E. Zungela.) Byl psan k odhaleni des ky Karla Havlieka Borovskeho v Praze, na poeest jejich pratelstvi. Tento sboipravclepodobne je poslednim, je2 Smetana jeSte slygel.

Ne'2 za upine hluchoty vzniklo jeho nej smelejS1 dila "Pisefi na moil" (r. 1877 na slova V. }Mika.) ftika se, ze toto Smetanovo dilo je skuteenou hlasovou sym fonickou basni. Smetana v ni tony zna zorriuje mluvu ru gneho 2ivota loudeni, pocity stesku 1 veselou naladu

Straw. 10 no palube a hluboke dojmy, vyvolane inohutnosti Sireho mote a koneene i radost ze :S•astneho ptistani k cili.

V techto dilech Smetana doSel takoye neobyeejne dokonalosti, le se jeho tvorba sborova stala vzorem moderni ees ke hudby sborove, ktera vyrostla a k svetovosti. Tak definuji velikost Smetanova dila naSi hudebni spisovatele jako Zdenek NejecilY, V. V. ZelenY, Otakar Hostinsky, K. Stecker, FrantiSek Barton, J. B. Jirak, G lernuéak a jini hudebni kritikove. Pak nasledoval nejznamejS'i, takita znarodnelY oslavriSr sbor "Vella" cr. 1883 k jubileu pralskeho "Hlaholu").

Vyrfista, s dokonalou vYraznou deklama ci, ptirozenou oeskou naelodii as k slavnostnimu razu a /Wade. 0 vzniku sboru "Veno" je krasnY doklad, jak sam piSe Smetana v dopise Josefu Srbovi-Debrnovi. "VaSi baser — Ceti jsem tak dlou ho nahlas, po pokoji sem tarn chode, se slova v hudbu promenila a nejprve oltykern na papite a koneene na eisto 0 psand se objevila".

Tehol roku byl napsan sbor "Modlitba" ye kterem Smetana tlumoei prosbu o mir a blaho sve vlasti. Pal: pra2skemu "Hlaholu" napsal pevecke heslo Ci zdravici. Mira° to zhudebnil trojhlasne sbory pro lenske hlasy "PHlately vla'Stovieky", "Zapad slunce" a "Ma hvezda."

"Na'Se pisen" byla posledni sbor, ktein'T Smetana napsal v po.slednich jasnYch ckamlicich (r. 1883), je to posledni polka v jeho tvorbe vubec.

To je easteenY ptehled o torn, jak Sme tana svou hudbou dava, nam nahlednout do sveho nitra, do sveho radostneho a slunneho detstvi, do sveho livota v dobach nejpohnutejSich, kdy se jako e'en Narodni gardy Ueastnil politickYch bouti v r. 1833, do netamorne a uspeSne pra,cc za sveho pobytu ve Svedsku, do 2ivota v kruhu roclinneho Sit:esti i utrpeni, nad Seal pro idedly, ktere po ptisner ni zkourna, ni a hluboke tvaze postavil na podstavec nejvySSi anaelecke snahy s cilevedomYm programena a dramatickou pravdou. — Kouzlem tone liai dejiny sveho naroda, jeho slavu i apadek. Smetana kraeel neehrolene pies livotni ptekalky, ktere mu osud stavel v cestu, aa klnemu viterstvi.

vESTNIX --- WEST, TEXAS Jaralek also got on base via base-onballs.

One of our young, fine ballplayers, Rcbert Huggins, has been lost from the team for the remainder of the season as his company transferred him to some town in west Texas. Robert we enjoyed having you on the team and we hope that sometimes in the future you can again play for us.

Our thanks to the fine and brave fans who came out to cheer for us Friday night, we are deeply grateful for your presence and support.

DALLAS, TEXAS July 8, 1959 Dear Readers: Last Thursday night, July 2, we played McCord Music and we lost this one by a score of 8 to 0, or rather we gave it away. Of the 8 runs scored, only 2 runs were earned and that made the difference. Wes Jaska hurled a much better game than the score indicated and with better support, the game should have been 1 to 0 or possibly 2 to 0. Wilbur Munger turned in a good game behind the plate. Ralph Ramos, McCord's pitcher, was in fine form, blanking our guys and allowing only 2 hits. Getting the base hits for our team were Don Hanks and Grady Garrett.

We had a very nice turnout of fans at the game and we deeply appreciate their loyalty and support.

Friday night, July 3, we were scheduled to play Browne Window, but they forfeited to us by a score of 7 to .0, as they had to go to Shreveport, Ja., for a tournament over the weekend. So we had a makeup game with Texas Instruments. This game was scheduled to be played on the opening day of the season and we were unable to play it till Friday night. We lost this game also, another heart-breaker by the score of 2 to 1. We played a very good game, had a very fine pitching performance by our hurler, yet we just didn't get the base hits with runners on bases and also the 2 runs scored were uneariacd. But that's no alibi for losing, so we're just going to have to choke up on our bats and get more base hits or continue dropping 1 run ball games. Grady Garrett pitched a very good game, allowing 5 hits, 1 walk and struck out 8 batters. Frank Mach III was our catcher for this game and he did an outstanding job. Leading hitters for our team, were Ted Dusek Jr., with a double and he also drove in our lone run., Glen Kirk with a single, Ben Jarma with a single and Joe Jarolik also had a single. Glen Kirk, Frank Mach III and Joe

July 9, we play Continental Engraving the 2nd game, 8:45 p.m. and Friday, July 10th, we play the Lutheran AllStars, 1st game, 7:30 p.m. at Lawnview Diamond No. 1.

Thursday night, July 16, we play Friedman Steel Co., 2nd game, at 8:45 p.m. and Friday, July 17th, we play Texas Instruments, also the second game at 8:45 p.m. Both games at Lawnview No. 1.

We haven't had the presence or support of our teenagers at the games this year like we did last season and we would like to invite their group to come out to one of these games and give us their support. I am not saying that the teenagers havent been attending as there have been some at quite a lot of our games but it would be nice to see a large group attend the game. Also we urge those who still haven't come out to the games to please do so as the season will be about over at the end of July, plus the City Playoffs, the early part of August. Sincerely, we invite as many of you as can to come out to our games.

Fraternally yours,

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK ly by the addition of a star. The last change in the flag — until this year — Haw The Ameri an came with the admission of the Union of New Mexico and Arizona in 1912.

Flag Evolved Although the design of the new flag President Eisenhower on January 3 1959 officially welcomed the former territory of Alaska into the United States as the 49th State — the first time in nearly half a century a new state has entered the Union. Of particular interest on this occasion was the unfurling of the new flag, for the adtpission of a new state meant that the American flag had to be redesigned.

As almost everybody knows by now, the pattern selected after a good deal of advice and suggestions from the American people, consists of seven staggered rows each of seven white stars on a blue field. The thirteen red and white stripes remain the same.

In a very real sense, the American flag represents the history of the United States — its evolution and development.

The 13 stripes stand for the original colonies which in the 18th century fought for independence and laid the foundation for our nation. The stars are symbols of their union, and with each new state a new star has been added.

In concept the new flag is basically the same as the first Stars and Strips, as the flag is frequently called. And that first flag was designed while we were fighting for our independence. That was in 1777. It was perhaps to encourage a feeling of union and strength among the 13 struggling colonies that George Washington decided to have a national flag.

A national flag was in itself an unusual idea. Very few nations had them at that time — in fact, the United States flag is the fifth oldest flag in the world.

The others belong to Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands.

Although the date of our first flag is known, the origin of the design remains a mystery, and has been a source of controversy among scholars and historians for some time. Tradition, however, gives credit to Betsy Ross, a young widow, who ran an upholstry shop in Philadelphia.

The story goes that George Washing-

has been made known, it will be some time, however, before the new flag will replace the old one on the flag poles.

New flags became official only on the fourth of July following the admission of the new state.

The old flags continue to be proper and usable as long as they last. There is no law saying they are obsolete. )• •(

Supreme Lodge Meeting

Addresses Of Our District Organizers

The regular quarterly meeting of the executive directors and officers of the Supreme Lodge held their meeting at the Supreme Lodge Headquarters in Temple, Texas, last week. It was a very constructive meeting.

From the reports given in this issue by our directors you will be able to see, that our brotherhood has again made very commendable progress.

The meeting was called to order by our president Brother Marek and the minutes of the previous meeting were accepted as read with some very minor changes.

Other reports followed, to wit; by the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Finicial Secretary, Treasurer and our Attorney, and were all followed attentively. The remarks of our Directors were noted and as they were given will be incorporated in the detailed minutes that will be given to the membership by our secretary, Brother Chupick, in the near future.

As always, some explanations were offered by each Department Head and especially careful scrutiny was accorded all leans as well as to the disposition of some dilenquent ones as recommended by our attorney Brother Kacir.

We would like to emphasize again, that the meetings of our executive board are conducted in an efficient and conscientious manner and while we do think that it is not for us to go into minute details, we would like to state that from our observations that our membership can rest assured that their business is in dependable hands.

Now let's all work together and with our officers and directors and this year will be one of the most successful in the history of our Fraternity.

At, 40 A fellow who went into a dentist's office to have a tooth pulled was so frightened at the prospect that the dentist sympathetically offered hifr.‘ a shot of whiskey. Then the fellow asked for another shot and gulped it down. The dentist then asked kindly, "There, young fellow. Do you feel any braver? Got your courage back? "Yeah," snarled the youth "and I'd just like to see you try and touch my teeth!"

Reuorts From Local Lodges LODGE NO. 92 FT. WORTH, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters, I am sure all of you here in Texas are glad it is raining as we certainly need the moisture in the ground. It may damage some things, but the way Mother Nature plans it is the way it will be.

I have been glad to read in the Vestnik and to see through my attendance of the meetings of our lodge and also of the Youth meeting in Dallas about the good all of the lodges are doing in selling

insurance and getting more new members in our organization. We surely can see that we have a lot of good organizers and also the help of the older members. Certainly, one way we can get ahead is by helping others.

Since my last letter, lots of things have been happening .Here in our Lodge No. 02 we have been pulling together and it seems • as though we will .continue to do so we had a nice . Mother's and Father's Day Celebration, including a program, and I can say that there should be crony members who should and could be at the lodge activities we have. I know that TV has ke p t many of them at home, but where could we have more friendship and fun than at our lodge? We CO not have something everyday or every weak SG it would be nice if many of you would come out and see what you and others are missing by not attending the meetings and programs. I would like to see how many TV sets would come visit with you when you are sick and mi ght need help.

How odd it would be to see a lot of TV sets going to some brother's or sister's funeral. I like TV myself, but 'I'd rather be at the lodge when there is something

there. Also at :Our 'lodge we are startng to get ready for next year's celebration which will be the 50th year of our lodge. Things like that take time and much cooperation. It cannot be done just by one or two; it takes all the membership. The more people that help, the easier it is for everyone. We hope and are planning on something really nice.

So some of you members who have put off not coming to the meetings, start again, and you will be able to say and be proud to be one of the many who had something to do in helping celebrate our 50th year herein Fort Worth.

I went to the Youth Activity Day in Dallas at Lodge No. 84 and can say that it was a big success. The lodge was filled with members and friends from all over. Everyone seemed to be very friendly. I met a lot of new faces there and was happy to be with them. The food was plentiful and all seemed to enjoy it. I am sure no one went away hungry. It was really nide, and I think much praise should go to all the ladies who worked in the kitchen. There were many nicethings made by our youth that were on display, and I believe some were better than we grown-ups could make. They should be praised for all the hours spent on making them. I was very proud of the things they made. It must have been a hard job for the judges. Also the program was wondeful and very good. There is much good Czech talent still in our Lodge, so let's encoUrage the youth to keep up the good work. All the dances were wonderful, I really did go for the Beseda. It was the same one I danced many years ago. All of us, including the youngcr generation should , remember our Beseda in our activities. Then last but not least, came the beautiful Princesses and their escorts. That was a sight everyone should have seen: it is something almost out of this world. I thought eacn of them should have been a queen.

I guess if one would go by appearance they would have been, anyway, we have a lovely Queen now, and we are all proud of her. She and all the rest of the Princesses v,orked hard with the organizers to sell all the insurance they could I only hope all of them continue to help the lodges grow. I enjoyed the day there an f, hope someti:ne in the near future we will be able to have a Program like that here in Fort Worth for the youth.

Our building committee is working hard. First, a new Frigidaire for our cold drinks must be secured. Also the kitchen must be enlarged, and we must purchase a new juke box. After all this is completed, I'm sure our lodge will really be something of which to be proud.

Wednesday, July 15, 1959 I want to thank all of you who have helped me here and hope you will continue to do so. Our reporters here have really said nice things about me. Also our editor and his lovely wife have written nice things.

I hope everyone had a nice Fourth of July and all were safe and happy.

I would like to remind you of the Slo vonic Mutual Fire and Storm Insurance Local No. 9 meeting which will be held at the Sokol Hall, July 19, 1959. There will be a big dinner for all the members who pay their assesments and dues.

Last but not least, I want to thank all these who were on the program, those who worked in the kitchen and those who brought the flowers for the Mother's and Father's Day program. Till next ti,re, here is hoping for better lodges everywhere and may we always keep our brotherhood a proud one.

DISTRICT NO. SIX Dear Sisters and Brothers: Please be informed that a Queen Contest will be sponsored in your district.

This contest is a voluntary one, but we wish to urge all lodges in District No. 6 to select a princess of their lodge to help sponsor this contest. Your lodge is eligible to enter the Queen Contest even if you do not have an active Youth Club.

District No. 3 just completed their contest and the results were very satisfactory. They wrote $265,500 of insurance during the two and one-half months of the contest, all other six districts sold only $278,000 or only $12,500 more than District No. 3 by itself in the same period of time. These sales alone should be enough to encourage us to help promote the Queen Contest, but that's not all it did for us. The promoting of interest and good fellowship among our young members is of the greatest importance, and anyone who was present in the District No. 3 meeting last Sunday will admit that this contest helped in promoting it.

I would like to add that the Supreme Lodge will g ive a gift of 2.5.00 to the Queen of each District, and a special gift to the princesses and escorts.

The requirements to qualify for a princess are as follows: 1. She must be 14 to 18 years of age. (inclusive).

2. Must be a member of lodge she represents.

3. Her escort must also be a member fo her lodge.

Contest to start August 1st, and end October 12th, all applications dated August 1st, and all postmarked not later than October 12th, will be counted in the contest.

The crowning of the Queen will be held in our fall District meeting which will be held October 25th at Taiton, Tex. Points will be awarded as follows: 1. One point for each $100.00 of insurance sold by organizer of her lodge.

2. Two points if member buys additional insurance:.

3. Four points for each new member secured.

4. Ten points for each member secured by the princess.

which she has acquired through constant practice.

The oastries can be filled with apricots, poaches, prunes, pineapple, cherry, poppy seed and cottage cheese. Either dried or fresh fruits can be used according to Mrs. Coufal. She suggested using fresh peaches if they are available because they have a better flavor.

"Kolaches with a cottage cheese filling are my husband's favorite," commented the experienced cook. The cottage cheese should be drained until almost completely dry she added.

"If the fillings aren't thick, they'll run out before the dough can be sealed, and you have to work fast anyway," stated Mrs. CoufaI Here is her recipe with three fillings.

Kolaches Make a sponge by dissolving on cake of compressed yeast in one cup of lukewarm milk. Add enough flour to nake a thin batter (as for pancakes). Le rise intil light and bubbly. To this s onge add 1 cup of lukewarm milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 3/9 cup chortening or butter and 2 tsp. salt. Mix in 2 cups of hard wheat flour and beat well. Add 2 or 3 more cups flour (enough to make soft dough) and knead until smooth and elastic.

Brush dought with melted shortening or butter, cover and let stand in a warm place until dough has doubled in bulk.

Turn the dough out on a floured board or cloth, roll and then cut with cookie or biscuit cutter. Fill centers with fruit filling, pull dough toward center and seal.

WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: Our good Sister Mrs. John Coufal Jr., who resides in Temple, broke into the news, The Temple Daily Telegram, with her Czech cooking which is even gaining recognition in America and among other nationalities.

Sister Coufal graciously gave the reading public her Recipe for Kolaches, giving her recipe for Peach Filling, now that peaches are becoming plentiful: Poppy Seed Filling, and Cottage Cheese Filling.

Those of you who make these Kolaches for the first time, I hope you will like them enough to make Sister Coufal's recipes part of your permanent Recipe File. They're the McCoy — real Czech kolaches.

Making kolaches is an art, and Mrs. John Coufal Jr. of 1480 E. Avenue B, Temple, Texas has the needed skill,

Other phases of the contest were Table setting, Flower arrangement, Sewing, Meal planning, and the cooking of a complete meal,

Wednesday, July 15, 1959 For open face kolaches, place dough in greased pan, spacing about 1/2 inch apart and brush with melted butter or shortening. Cover and let rise until double in bulk (about 45 minutes). Make an indention in center of roll and fill with filling. Let rise again until light, about 15 minutes.

Bake in moderate oven at 400 deg. F. about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Brush with melted butter or sweet cream while hot and sprinkle with plain granulated sugar.

For a richer dough, 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 beaten egg may be added.

Fresh Peach Filling 4 cups ripe peeled peaches Three fourths to 1 cup sugar 4 tbs. flour 1/2 tsp. cinnamon or 1/4 tsp. almond extract Prepare peaches. Combine dry ingredients. Mix with peaches and put in saucepan and cook until thickened. Cool, add cinnamon or extract and mix well.

Poppy Seed Filling Grind or pound fine the desired quantity of poppy seed. Place in a saucepan and add enough sweet cream so it can simmer. When the mixture thickens (stir often so it does not scorch) add sugar or honey to taste. Grated lemon rind, vanilla or chopped bleached almonds may be added if desired.

Cottage Cheese Filling Cream a, tablespoon of butter, add a pound of cottage cheese, flour, beaten egg yolks, six tablespoons of sugar, the grated rind of helf a lemon, a dash of salt and half a cup of seedless raisns (optional) a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg.

Mrs. Coufal stresses the importance of using hard wheat flour in the dough because it is especially made for breads or rolls. For a good crust, she suggests baking the kolaches in a muffin pan.

The kolaches can be frozen. Warm in a low heat and brush with butter.

The gourmet's family, which includes Mr. and Mrs. Bill R. Hayes and daughter Shelley, of Irving and Stanley Coufal, a Temple. Junior College student, agree that Mrs. Coufal can truly make good kolaches.

Here's wishing you and yours happy eating and a very pleasant weekend.

Our attendance was small for many families had "visitors" while others again were "visiting", but nevertheless, all of the officers had their hands full all afternoon their books in order, and booking all of the new members that were secured during the Hot Contest. For these members we are very grateful for they helped us win the Queen's Contest of the Third District. We are all thrilled and happy to be the winners and we want to thank all who helped make this big honor for our little Cottonwood Lodge No. 6, from the bottom of our hearts. It, took some hard work for the last few days before the date line. The Krizan brothers really did a good job.

Special thanks goes to Lodge Pokrok No. 84 for their hospitality and their appreciation which they showed us. We all enjoyed every minute of it. It all jus went by too fast! Our regret was that we couldn't stay with you longer.

The Program was very interesting and all of the Princesses looked so lovely in their formals. They all danced so beautifully that night — and then — it was all over for our Queen and King and for us. We had to leave at the most happy hour!

We appreciate so much Brother Sid Pokladnik's standing by our bus ,door and bidding, everyone of us goodbye.

There were others also outside of the Hall bidding us Bye-Bye. Thanks to you ALL again!

We are sorry that we had that bus trouble; for the worries our lateness caused our loved ones at home. I hope the Editor and his wife forgive us too, for I understand the Mr. Hosek did not even go to bed that early in the morning — he just went straight to his work room and worked until noon that day.

I also want to thank Sister Hosek for the corsages she gave my little girl and seine others.

At this time it gives me a great deal of pleasure to present our new members to you. They are: Patricia Early, Doris Bickerstaff, John Goss, Daniel Vrba, Charles Goss, Cathy Goss, Doris Dollins, James Vrba, Paula Giles, Thomas Early, Virginia Giles, Mark Balarnik, Donna Vrba, Loyce N.

This was discussed with the few members that were present at the last meeting. A special meeting will be held July 24 at 8:00 p. na. about those who will work and help out on the picnic.

Those in charge of the kitchen will be: Sisters: Ruth Krizan, Tonie Marek, Mary Sumbera, Marie Janecka and Kathie Krizan, Mary Kazda, Martha.

YOUTH CLUB TEEN-AGE DIVISION LODGE NO. 84 Dear Fraternal Members and Friends: June 30 marked the Twenty-Fifth Wedding Anniversary of a well-loved couple from, Ledge 84. The couple, Mr. and Mrs. Sid Pokladnik, repeated their marriage vows in a very sacred ceremony, followed by Mass in the lovely Church of St. Thomas. Beautiful Czech hymus were sung at various times during the ceremony. I am quite sure that many wonderful memories of their wedding day 25 years ago were relived in that brief span of time.

An Open House celebrating their anniversary was held in Mr. and Mrs. Pokladnik's very lovely home on Sunday afternoon, July 5. A vast number of their many friends came to share with them the happiness of 25 blessed years together.

The teen-agers extend their deepest congratulations and offer their fondest wishes for many future years of marital bliss to Mr. and Mrs. Pokladnik. We each hold them in high esteem and have the greatest love and respect for them both.
