Psal se rok 1844. MladY Bedrich Smetana tehdy &inn nejvet gi rozhodnuti sveho 'Zivota. Rozhodl se, ae se venuje cele hudbe. Rozhod.nuti bylo tak silne, ze se roze g el i s rodiei, z nichZ zvlagte otec neviclel v hudebnim povolani Zadnon budoucnost pro sveho syna. KdyZ vg ak Smetana nepovolil, otec s nim prerugil vg echny styky. Nastala zla doba pro mladeho Smetanu. Stradal telesne i dug evne. V teZke krisi doporueil ho tehdejg i reditel konservatore Kittl hrabeti Leopeldu Thunovi, kterY hledal ueitele hudby pro sve deti. S velkou radosti se chopil mladY umelec prilelitosti, ktera mu umoanovala existence. Kdo v gak byl nedfiverivY a prekvapen mladikem, byl hrabe Thun. Aby se nresvedeil o schopnostech mladika, vyzval ho, aby mu zahral teZkou skladbu Pia Richtra. Smetana sedl ke kiaviru a hral. Podle pozdej gi zpravy hrabenky AlZbety Thunove, zahral pry Smetana skladbu primo z stu a zahral ji tak virtuosne, ze razem rozptYlil vgechny pochybnosti hrabete Thuna. Tak se dostal Bedrich Smetana k rodine, na kterou si uchoval ty nejkrasnej gi vzpominky. itekl je pozdeji hudebne v prostredni vete sveho kvarteta "Z rneho aivota". Nejkrasnejei chvile pro mladeho umelce nastaly, kdyZ se hrabe ci rodina odstehovala v lete na zdmek Bon Repos u NovYch Benatek. V to dobe Zivotniho gtesti pristoupil ke skladbe.

Mlada laska ke Katerine Kolarove vyrazila v bohatYch kvetech. Vznika Smetanriv roman v tonech "Bagatelles et Improptus" a nasleduje .druha rotomila skladba "Listek do pamatniku". Obe byly weeny pro milovanou Katerinu, ktera se stala pozdeji jeho choti. Jen touha po samostatnosti vedla Smetanu od Thunebot' jako ueitel hudby nemohl pomY'Sleti na sfiatek. Ale ae vzpominal Sme tana na tuto dobu i pozde, jsou dokladem jeho "Re yes Sny." 4,

Ten krat jsem mel pet mkt' a jit jsem hiedel na ty na ge dedinky jako kluk nezbeda jeg te s rozumem nedorostenYrn. 8kol na vesnicich nebylo jen kde byl kostel tak tarn byla 3 teidni gkola. Ale chodili tam deti at z pet vesnic. Jaka ta gkola byla uboha. Na g okres se tenkrat skladal z 32 vesnic a mesteeek. KYjo y bylo okres ni nage 'nest° a bylo tam pet mesteeek co se tam provozovaly trhy na dobytek asi dvakrat do roka a na druhY den zas "jarmark" na vgechno zboti. Sevci byli zastoupeni na prvnim miste.

To byl svatek pro deveatka ktere pokukovali po hogich a "sakra Makko, podivej se hen na tell° pekneho gohaje!"

Kdyby byl yeeer tak bych chtela od ne ho par pusinek ale ja bych mu je fined vratila." To byli hogi ze 8ardie pekne nastrojeni s perkem a kvitim za kloboukem koSilenky vygivane a boty se jim bligtely jak v noel kocurove oei. To bylo nee() pro deveatka tance chtici a pro chlapce deveat milujici. Z mnoha parkfl se staly mantebi.

Pokrok gkolni meal asi v race 1885 v tech mesteekach a kde byl kostel gkoly tea byly. Nejvet gi buditel gkol na okresu byl ueitel Urbaeek — on byl v Kostelci, jak se kikalo nadueitelern tam byly tti allele a tarn pattilo pet vesnic do Skoly.

KYjav byl v tidovsldth rukach aji starosta byl tid, Hofperk to byl nejbohatgi ()beam Nebyl obliben ani s yYmi souverci.

V race 1888 meal tla.k proti tidürn v celem okresu. Ueitel Urbdeek chodil v nedelich j ye vgednich dnech pa vesnicich a delal peedna gky a to pomohlo. Ten rok v KYjove vyhrdIa sloven4 a stakosta byl zvolen Moravec Kostka. To jste men

V nas v Moravanech byla gkola posta vend it roce 1885 a ja meal chodit v roc°• 1886 do gkoly to nine bylo 6 rokil. Sestry take byly star gi tak chodily take u nas do gkoly. Ueitelt nebylo dost tak chodilo po pül dnech. Ted' peistoupime ke staveni Akoly. Slo to asi ktera vesnice je velka tak tam se take stavela napted gkola. Ale tech 12 vYbort sotva mezi nema umeli etyki psat. Müj tatinek umel trohcu psat "kurensky" tikal, to se to naueil vet'Sinou U vojska neb tam mel bYt 12 rokt a byl tam jen 8 rokii neb ta doba tech 12 rokfl byla tru gend a zaCabo se sloutit jen 3 roky. Nevim v kterem roce zaeala slutba tti rodni. JIt jserl zas v jinYch my glenkach a gkolu jsem. nechal!

Nage obec mela 6 tisic hotol/Tch penez na gkolu ale kdyt byla gkola pastavend tak bylo dluhu sedm tisim. (To se u nas v Americe asi chti na ge presidenti podle tech Slovand eidit jen vice dluhti kladou na na ge bedra.) Po tti letem starostovani to odskakal jeden °bean Se neumel psat ani Cist tak pozbyl rely grunt a je gte ostalo par tisicovek dluhu obci. Ten dluh dCdily ty starostove kteti tomu nerozumell.

Ale, peigla mlada, generace, ktera se chytla tej potapejici lodieky a dluh se oplatil. Ale nedelaly se tadne pijatiky jak za tech starYch dab.

Napted dostaly kaplani, pak v gichni ueitele i sebe nevijimaje pak starostove, i okres ni neednici. Naposled si nechal kritisovat na geho fardee, ten tam byl asi 18 rokr1 na fate. Ale faral ten pane to umel nasazet liskovici nam klukfma na zadnici, to to bolelo celY mesic.

Strana 10 byla velmi obratna. Jen se toeila, pra,ce ji gla od ruky, sotva se dovedla samostatne otheet. Je gte ani do stilzku nedosahla, uz myla, nadobi, buchty pama gt'ovala, opelky pekla a svetnici zametala.

Vgak sotva ji bylo 10 let, uZ mela nachystano pino pain a panimama pro ni len stiadala a platno na zahrade billla.

V torn ease pfiglo na obec deveatko.

Bylo sotva osmilete a piivez1 je obecni serbus, ktereho pro ne do Vidne vypravili.

Byla chudinka sotva osmileta a plage se rozhliZela. Starostou byl hospodskY Jelinek, takovY elovek. lidskY upkimnY, to aby ani nebyl vesnicky krernat.

Nechal holeieku v genkovne a svolal vy bor.

"Co s holkou?" ptali se a. hledeli jeden na druheho, zatim co malidka se choulila u kamen a steskem se ji napinovalo male srdeeko.

Nerozurnela ani jedinemu slovu, co bylo kolem ni mluveno.

Panimama starostova ji nalila polevku a tou se zahkivala.

Bylo easne z jara a tu v pahorkatine j gte studeno. Vitr tahl od Pisku a nebylo v nem nic tepleho. Cestou od vlaku prokiehla chudak na kost.

Byla slaboueka, a mela tak main obleeeni. Rodiee jeji zahynuli pied dvema tYdny pri vYbuchu pace v cihelne.

Zustala jako prst a sirota i smutek na ni dolehaly as piing citelne.

Zatim co se vYbdi o ni domlouvali sedela tie na lavici, noZieky se ji Matily a potichu plakala.

Co s holkou?

Nenajde-li se, kdo by si ji vzal za husopasku, musi jit stiedou.

Steida byla, ye Smetanove Lhote dnem 'hr-ebrakti. Ti kdo byli na obci, s1i ye stiedu popoiadku.

Kdy2 bylo rokovano•u kamen, sedlak Soueek na pivo. Byl to zarridnY strYc a dobrak od kosti.

Poslouchal chvilku oe jde, podival se na deck° a povidd: "Nic nedelejte a poOkejte. Po glu semka mdmu, at' se na devee podiva. Treba by si ho vzala. Mame kluky a Tonieka potkobuje, aby si s ni nekdo Vypil si sklenici piva a odegel &lye nea jindy. To si rad zahral maria gek o krejcar nebo o dva — dnes mel pilno.

Cestou, se ptala: "Jak ti kikaji?"

Dite hledelo nechapave. Panimama byla bezradna neumela se s nim domlu vit.

Pantata Soueku umel asi deset slov nerneckYch. Byl site na vojne, ale tu samospasitelnou kee se nenaudil. Prato vgak se piece dovedeli, ie se holeieka jmenuje Hedvika.

"To ti dali peknY jmeno," zhrozila se panimama. "V celem kraji, giroko daleko se tak ZadnY devee nemenuje."

Tak se ji iikal0 Hedvide protde v tom krasnem kraji milevskern se drvkarn kika, ye stiednim rode.

Hedvideti se u Souekti datilo dobte.

Sice s poeatku byla chudinka jako pthee, ktere chytime v poli, zastiihneme mu ktidelka a zavieme je do klece. Take ono sedi s hlavinkou mezi kkidelky a otkama plage letajicima. Boji se ka2Z deho vageho pohybu — zobu si nevgima.

I Hedviee sedelo u kamen na lavici, noZiaky melo pod sebou, hlavieku mezi raminky a velkYrna modrYma oeima tekala plage a bazlive pu v gechn domacich.

Souekovi men etyki kluky a to byli takovi haranti, jake si lze jenorn piedstavit.

Po celY den to vydrgeli, na svetnici se prat, zapasit a hulakat, po na ysi skotaeit a kalhoty trhat.

Hedviee se jich balo a kdykoliv se k nemu zvedave piiblizili, tzkostlive se choulilo, jako kdy'Z na klec toho vylekaneho ptaoatka vyskodi kocour.

A kdy2 na ne panimama vzala metlu a nektereho z klukt pietahla, dalo se Hedviee opravdove do pldee.

Pantata byl dobrY a na kluky u2 skoro slab — nechaval jim vuli. Byl to zdravY pakez a mel podle v geho dobre nervy, tak Z"e ho ke y a ramus co ti haranti tropili nerozeiloval.

Kdykoliv gel kolem Hedvioe, wady' je velkou a teZkou pravici pa hlaviece pohladil, ale ono se to ruky balo a vZdy pied ni uhYbalo.

Potom es udelalo teplo a (levee mohlo take yen na naves nebo na Panimama by ji byla rada poslada mezi MI, ale neurnela ji to iici pantata sotva Ze se tak zmol na slava: esn--" to se na "Hedvika kom vojne flatten -- nebo "secdych kom glafovat." Aby gla na sluneeko, to kid neumel, mezi deti ua teprve ne.

Tak sedalo smutne. Hedviee nejradeji Pa.nimarna prisla, koukia deveatku do pod kolnikem u psi boudy a se psem modrYch oei a pohladila je po tvaiiece. Alikem svinute v klubidku nejak se donelelo se ji ho — nemohla ua odolat. rozumivalo. Snad mu nema tvai lepe

Tak i Hedvide si paealo vgimat male Aninky, ktera se po svetnici batonla, brat ji za rualeku a kikat pojd'! maminka sedla Panimame kovi — tatynek jak sly gela • od dbti SouekovYch. Take brzy se piestalo bati klukti a dovedlo je jmenovat. Jenikovi tikala Jenyk Frantikovi Frantyk — a tak se pomalu siovo za• slovic- ; kern ueilo.

Jednou se segly s Nanynkau BeneSoyou a jako jiskiioka bleskla z toho vzajemna detska sympatie.

Nanynka byla star gi, ale taky si tolik rada hrala, mela i pannu a kolibku, v gechno Hedvieeti ukazala a od to doby rozumely. Neglo-li to Hedviece eesky, vila nemecky a Nanynka take vedla svou a piece nejak se dohodly.

Panimama Souekova tornu byla rada a kdysZ se s Beneeovou, setkala, radostne ji to povidala.

"Nejak mi to Hedviee k add ptirostlo. Mem ho bezmala tak rada jako Anee.

Je to takovY pkitulnY." "Vgak vase Nanee je po tom celY prye.

To Hedviee ma voei jako obloha„ -Lorna kaIdYho pilearuje. Dyt' i ty na gi kluci se na to smejou."

"A nagi kluci — co jste iekla? Mezi sebou se perou, ale Iledvieeti neubMuji.

"To vy si ji nechate?"

"Bodejt' ze nechame. Nejak "Y• veno ji snad taky naschranime anebo tak si myslim, dyby nekterej z tech na gich klu --" Tyhle maminky! Ony snuji z &deka plany, zabS7vaji se Pint ten se na Intro ha leta ku piedu a kdyby na ne pfiglo, vygpekulovaly by pro sve deti cele idyly zazraeneho Stesti.

Necitilo Hedvice, ze neni Souekova, za sve rodiee sice veeer jak veeer plidAvalo "Oteena5" a "odpoeinte v pokoji", ale jinak si na ne nevzpomnelo.

Cesky se naudilo zcela spravne a nikdo netugil, Z"e bylo vycbovano v Nerricich.

Ale to brzo Nanynku dohonilo.

Vy§vihlo se najednou jako belokord biizka. Pokad nic a nic as najednou za pul druheho roku Nande pfedrostlo a jakou dostalo postavu.

Panimama Souekova se v ni zrovna shliZela. Byla Hedvika jako rune — dostala boky a poprsi a jeji pate byly pekne oble, radost se podivat Ku praci se mela lids, to jste Pracovala ne s nejakou namahou nebo finavou, ale prase ji v rukou jenom hrala, a jak 'Oa s kosou pfes rameno na louku, tak se nesla jako k tanci.

VAak z eels osady kluci o ni stall Tonik Jonakil, synek z velke chalupy, byl by se pro ni utloukl. Povidalo se, ze se chudak pied spanim modlival, aby mu Pan HMI tu milost dal a liedvide ho chte lo. Jednou pry ho dokonce paska poslou chala a mezi chasou to povedela.

Zname tu mlada. Jaka je dneAni, takova byla pled petadvaceti, tficeti, padesati i sto lety. Mnoho neuvaluje a jen se smeje.

Tak uZ byl junak jako topol. Nosil kra sue naptimenou patek a hlavu vzhfiru, na to mel spousty dernYch vlasu. Celt' se vrhnul po otci, i povahu mel takovou mirnou a veselou. Ten si nelenoval a sloZil pisnieku. Zpivala se jako "radujte se Pkibramaci neseme yam buchty v ranci" a bylo v ni tikani ku vSem svatYm, aby mu k lasce krasne holky dopomohli.

Mladk Lojzik, chiapec jests hezei a postavou ponekud zaloZitejk, nemohl to yydrZet a Sel veeer Hedvideti tu pisnieku zazpivat.

Kluci se mohli ufehtat a holky to Hed videti pfali, ze ma zlost a ostudu.

Vgak Hedvide bylo hrozne pohnevano a rozZalostneno. Vzteky nevedelo si co posit — popadlo plechae studene vody a z okna — chrst — polilo rozpustileho zpevaka i jeho spoleeniky.

Pantata Soudkil se durdil. "Tihle kluci Benaovi — to je semen! Co jim Tonik udelala? Dyt' je to nadisto slusnej chasnik a Ze by se modlil o pomoc Boil f v lane? To je videt, g. e i v jinelch

Take panimama by nebyla od toho.

Co by nedala Hedvide na chalupu k Jona Chalupa se ji libila a hlavne to, Ze se jim tam daftly ZeZulkovite slepice.

TakovY chov nemeli v eels vsi.

Nu, ale mluvte s detmi.

Hedvide plakalo a nechtelo o Toniko vi ani slySet. Byl chudak u ni zesmeanen a na vZdy nemo2n$7.

Kluci ho meli pina asta a kdyZ se alo na Makovou na pout', poslali mu napsa nou Venovu pisnieku.

Na Makovou se chodilo z celeho kraje, byla tarn zazraena, Panna Maria a pout' vZdy k nepopsani pekna.

Nesli tam Marianskou soaku na nositkach a drugeky sly v tokovem dlouhem pravodu a hudba hrala, as se srdce smalo. Tonik byl naboZnSr, rad cestou zpival a proto si to mlade2 z neho udelala ten aprS7m.

Hedviee se dlouho hnevalo a po Nanyn ce vzkazalo kluktun BeneaovYm, ze si takovSr Zert mohli uspotit, Ze je uz nechce ani videt.

"I nezlob se na ne, Hedvo," povidal ji Frantik Souelaw, "to nebylo zle mineny.

Ja ti za to rueim, Ze na tebe voba berou a proto takovou pitomost udelali."

Po tech slovech se Hedviee zakervenalo, ze vypadalo jako by je krvi po"Jo — berou", i'ekla pina krvall7ch rozpakil. "ale hill."

Vena je celej pryil a Loj "No vek mi za jak by smet'."

0 maji byla muzika a Nande pri g° pro Hedviee: "piijdea pfeci k muzice, ne?"

"Ba negajdu."

"Co bys nesla! Hedvo! To nemysll'a dovopravdy."

"Myslim, — nepfijdu".

Nutili Souekovi a kluci se na ni vadili, ale Hedviee nego.

"Udelali mi vostudu — a kor yak kluci ti jsou pekni!" a hued mela slzieky v oeich.

U muziky nebylo a v gechna chasa byla rozmrzela. — " Toty Veno! To ty!" davali vinu Beneaovi. jsme vo holku!"

Deveata mela radost. Smala se. "Heete, Hedviee yam vypalilo rybnik!"

Druheho veeera, kdyZ Hedviee alo do komilrky spat a prave se u postele naboZne modlilo, pkikradl se nekdo pod okenko a lehounce zaklepal. Bylo to je nom takove nesmele a zase hned ticho.

Venku panovala krasna majova noc, tisice hvezd na sametove modre obloze a kdyz polekand Hedva okno pootevkela polibila ji vane rozkvetleho Aekiku. Byla tak sladka,, mekka a leuana, a naplfwva

Strana 11 la mladou dual bezplidinnYm steskem. di to byla touha?

Hedviee tomu nerozumelo.

Chtelo ji piti pinymi plicemi, ale dech se v nem zastavil.

Pod oknem stal Bene ga Lojzik a jak se Hedviee opkelo o zidku, aby okno phtahlo, chytil je za ruku.

"Pro Boha!" lekla se Hedvika, "pust' — ale on se vyavihnul do okna a sedl n jeho okraj. V nagch statcich jsou okna nizka a za zahradky se lehce dostane do komilrky.

"Hedvo, poekej, dyt' mej rozum", zabrueel Lojzik a drZel jeji ruku tim vice, elm se mu silneji vzpouzela.

"Choi ti tict, ze to vaecko nebylo minenS7 na tebe. Ale na Tondu. Co von si takovej pitoma mysli! 7e si bude namlouvat nejlepk holku ze vsi? — My mu ukaZem. Helemese. Kluk z chalupy a chtel by pkebirat chlapcilm z doma haiku."

Do Hedvieete vlezl nejakY vichr.

"Hm, voto," keklo pohrdave, "malo se budu koukat, je-li to kluk z chalupy ne bo ze statku. Abys veal, Lojzo, to nema u me Zadnou cenu. Narodila jsem se v chudobe — dovedu v ni taky umfit. M na to pkijde, abych se vdala, tak si vezmu tkeba takov:Vho, Co chodi svetem s ilaainetem."

"Bole Hedvo, nekikej to! Neilikej, to, sice se zlaznim! Ne, ne2ertuj — sice ja snad Tondu zabiju."

"Co bys Tondu zabijel?" zasmala se Hedva. "Ten za nic nemaZe, nekekla jsem,ae ho chci."

Lojza sedel na okne, jeji ruku ua pustila obema rukama si akubal hlavu.

Mel ruse kuilera,ve vlasy, nejlepai viasy ze vaech klukil z eels vsi.

Ted' se zdalo, ze si je zlostl a zoufalstvim otrha.

"Nechcea ho? Hedvo, kekni mi na mou dug."

"Ale co bych tirikala. Dej mi pokoj.

TakovY hlouposti se na mou du gi nedavaji."

"Tak? TakovY hlouposti! Hedvo, Hedy°, ty tomu kikaa hlouposti?"

Lojza byl tak rozruaen, Ze se obratil, pkehodil nohy do komilrky a UZ tam byl.

Hedva se zalekla. Napfahla ruse a tlaeila ho vsi silou zpet. Optela se mu obema rukama o prsa a vynalo gla vAecku silu.

"Jdi yen! Lojzo! Nemam nic neZ svou poeest! Dyby to tu nekdo videl! Lojzo, prosim te, dej si kict a di — di!"

"Neptjdu! M me fekne'a pravciu —" Lojza dr'Zel obe zapesti Hedvina, ktera vynakladala veSkeren napor do prsou je ho, "a'Z mi feknea na mou dual, Ze Tondu nemaa rada."

Wednesday, July 29, 1959 Reports from ovx Lodges, Or any other Reading Matter to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue. Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Important Notice Life Comp anie6 Farm Fayetteville, Texas Mortgage Loans At Members of Lodge No. 1, at Fayetteville, Texas are hereby notified that our Record High Farm mortgage holdings of the country's life insurance companies were at a record $2,667,000,000 at the start of this year, up about $100,000,000 from the preceding year and well over three times the aggregate of such financing at the end of World War II, the Institute of Life Insurance reports. This represented about 215,000 mortgage loans to farmers, the average loan held on January 1 bein.g $12,400.

Indications are that this year will see an even greater rise in farm mortgage financing by the life companies, as commitments for new farm loans at the start of this year were materially greate than a year ago, the Institute says.

Iowa led all states in life insurance farm loans, with $318,000,000 under 29,000 mortgages, an average of $11,000 per mortga ge. Texas was next with $289,000,000 under 19,000 mortgages, an average of $15,200. Illinois was third and California fourth. The average size of mortgage loans outstanding varied widely on a regional basis, the New England and Middle Atlantic States averaging less than $10,000 and the Pacific States rico.rly $25,000.

The life companies have been one of the important sources of mortgage money for farmers, having supplied nearly one-fourth of total outstanding farm ortgage financing and nearly twothirds of that provided by financial insti Lotions.

Farm mortgages acquired during 1958 by the life companies totaled $438,000,000 up almost 8 per cent from the year before. Various checks on the purpose of these farm loans indicate that nearly half are for re financing of existing mortgages or other indebetdness and the balance are for purchase of real estate, repairs and improvements to land and buildings and other purposes.

During the first half of this year, it

Reports From Local Lodges LODGE NO. 88 HOUSTON, TEXAS (Delayed from last week) Dear Brothers and Sisters: Just a few lines to remind all of our members that the youth club of Lodge No. 88 is making big plans for their summer dance coming this August 8th about a week away. It's a dance that all mothers and, fathers should attend, so as for let the youth members of our lodge know that they are behind them one hundred per cent. During the last monthly meeting held on July 10th, Mrs. Sefcik and Mrs. Kadlecek, Youth Direc tors of our lodge approached me and asked if I would help them along with this dance that the youth are sponsoring for the lodge. Trying to be a honest and helpful worker for our lodge I accepted the invitation to help them. So, some of the older members who haven't been to our lodge in quite some time, don't be surprised if you find me calling you on the phone and telling you to come to this dance. The youth members would certainly appreciate all who would join in making calls to their friends and other members telling them about this big summer dance. Since they have planned some three weeks in advance for the dance there will be no excus to say "why didn't you tell me a few weeks ago, because I have something else planned." The younger members have been working very hard the past few months, giving their time freely, and doing everything possible to get more young members to participate in their activities. The dance wil be held at the Lodge No. 88 ballroom, located at 1140 Robbie St., Houston, Texas. They are going to have the modern tune band of Nesvadba, from our near-by city of Rosenberg, Texas. The dance will be from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. held Saturday, Aug. 8.

Bring all of your friends, call as many members as you can so the youth will be proud that we gave them a helping hand. They would certainly like to see all the youths and their mothers and fathers from district five attend this summer dance. They also hope that a great many more will come from the other districts to help them out. Let's get behind them for this dance and take it a big success for them. Don't forget the time again — Saturday, August 8th — from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 am.

Don't forget to say yes when I call you on the phone about the big youth summer dance. We would like to see some of our friends from Rosenberg, Richmond, Sugarland, Needville, Guy, Alvin,

Let's come one and all.

Let's Be Friends Louis Hanus • a, • ( LODGE NO. 8 HOUSTON, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: Since last night I have been accused of failing (many members hace been calling me about this letter) to perform a duty outlined to me by the Lodge entertainment committee, the Lodge Birthday Club, the President of our lodge, the youth directors, the youth club officers and the board of trustees. As a member I pledged to these people that I would write in the Vestnik about the big dance the youth club is planning to have on Saturday, August the 8, from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 am. The only comment I have at this moment is that I wrote a letter to the Editor of the Vestnik on the early morning of July the 17th. The letter was mailed at the John Allen Post Office station at 8:00 a.m. on the 17th of July and the letter was then dispatched from this station at 10:00 a.m. the same morning, so the letter should have gotten to the editor by Saturday morning. This letter is being written on the 23 of July and will be deposited in the mail before 9:00 am. so this one should get to the Editor by Friday morning, the 24th of July — I hope this one will be in the Vestnik in its next publication. I again apologize for not getting my letter in on time.

Much preparation is being made for the big summer dance the youth members are planning to have on the 8th of August. The youth directors are being busy in decorating the ballroom, the dining room will be available for snacks to eat and the modern dance band of Nesvadba from Rosenberg will play modern, jazz and Czech music. The youth members again invite all the members of the Fifth District and the other districts to come to the summer dance. Many of our past friends haven't been by to see us of late, so we would like to see them on this occasion. All of the members are invited to the gala summer affair — call a friend, bring a crowd, and have fun you haven't had before. The officers of our youth club and the youth Directors will be present at the dance to welcome all guests and members. So, don't forget the big summer dance at Lodge Pokrok No. 88, this

41111C....tz DALLAS, TEXAS July 23, 1959 Dear Readers: Thursday night, July 16, we played Friedman Steele and dropped a 4 to 3 decission, only after battling them all the way. We started out poorly by letting them have 3 runs in the first inning, we scored one also in the first, another one in the third and tied, up the score in the sixth inning. In their last half of the 7th inning they managed to squeeze in a run to win the game.

The most encouraging thing about our team was the fact we started getting some hits, a total of 7 off a real good hurler.

Leading hitters were Glen Kirk with a triple and a single, Allen Dunn with a triple, Ben Jarma a single, Frank Mach III, a single, Ted Dusek Jr., a single and Albin (Bino) Vrana, a single. Wes Jaska hurled a very good game allowing 4 hits, walked one and whiffed 4 batters. Allen Dunn caught a fine game behind the plate. The team looked real good and I feel that from here on to the end of the season we will play better ball. I hope that the team is out of their slump.

We had a real nice turnout at the

Strana 17 game and we really appreciated the cheering from our rooting section. After the game, a large group of us ' lad a nice get-together.

Friday night, July 17, we won by a score of 7 to 0, on a forfeit from the Texas Instruments team, thereby leaving us with a six win and no loss record in the second half of play in the Ranger League. By virtue of this win, we cinched the League Championship and won another trophy for our Lodge. This makes us double champions, wariers our Wednesday League and also winners of our Friday night le ague. We feel that this is quite an horror for our team.

All of the players representing our Fraternal Order and our Lodge tr..re a rear swell group of fellows and we all should be proud of them, including our bat boy Larry Gaiser and our assistant bat boy Don Jarma. Everyone on the team has contributed his share in making this a most enjoyable as well as a rewarding season already. We still have 5 more games to play plus the city playoffs and then the climax of the season, our 'Steak Dinner' for the players and their wives after the season is concluded. Thanks fellows for a job well done and for the way you have played.

Though we won our Friday night game on a forfeit we played the Texas Instruments team a practice game loaning them a player and beat them by a score of 6 to 5 in a real good game. Frank Mach III hurled this game for us and did a good job. But again our hitting was good as we had a total of 8 hits which resulted in our winning this game. Leading hitters were Frank Mach III with a triple and a single and Jody Rejcek with two singles and he also drove in the winning run. Also getting base hits were Ted Dusek Jr. a double, Grady Garrett a single, Joe Garolik a single, Ben Jarma, a single and Wilbur Munger a single. Wilbur Munger turned in a fine game behind the plate.

We had another nice group of rooters at the game, thanks to all of you for your presence. After the game a large group of players and fans all get together for some refreshments.

This Thursday night we play McCord Music, second game, 8:45 p.m. and Friday night we play Browne Window, 1st game at 7:30 p.m., both games will be played at Lawnview Diamond No. 1.

Next Tuesday night, July 28, we play Browne Window, a makeup game, at Samuel diamond No. 2 at 8:45 p.m Then on Thursday night, July 30, we play Continental Engraving, first game at 7:30 p.m. at Lawnview Diamond No. 1. After the game, all the players, their wives

VESTNTK WEST, TEXAS

Strana 18 and children and some of our supporters will get together for a Hot Dog party with all the trimmings in the spacious back yard at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Rejeek. We will leave immediately after the game and gather there for the rest of the evening.

Friday night, July 31, we are scheduled to play the Lutheran "All Stars" at Lawnview Diamond No. 1, second game, 8:45 p.m This will conclude the regular softball season league games. We still have a makeup game with McCord Music in our Thursday night league which will probably be played the week of Aug. 3, definite date has not been determined.

The Dallas City Championship Playoffs will start the second week of August, on Monday night, August 10th. So we still will have a few more games to play as we will be in the League Championship playoff to determine the City Commercial Championship. Do come on out to the games before the season is concluded, we will be glad to see you.

&au,

Our last meeting was held on July 5 with fair attendance. We also had a visitor present. Brother Mikolaj, District Organizer came to forulate plans for the queen contest with Sister Clara Hejl, District Youth Leader and he, also spoke about the contest. Sister Sandra Mikulas volunteered to serve as a princess to represent our lodge. I am sure Sister Hejl and Brother Mikolaj will have more details soon for the contest starts August 1 and ends October 1st.

Little Steve Wayne Pechal, infant son Brother and Sister Clarence Pechal, was admitted as a new member in the juvenile department. We welcome him and invite him and his parents among us often.

Congratulations to our members who became proud parents. Brother and Sister Charlie Lee Tomesek became parents for the first time and Brother and SisterArnold Motl who welcomed their first son recently. We hope these babies bring every possible happiness to their parents.

Maybe we may gain these children as members of our order and our lodge.

On the sick list for the month of June were Sister Marie Cabla and Sister Rosie Chlapek, my grandmother is in the hospital again following a fall at her home last Sunday. She was lucky that she did not break any bones, only hit her head and lost a lot of blood. We wish a speedy recovery to those and maybe ethers who happen to be ill.

At our last meeting, Brother Walter Haisler, hall manager, resigned effective July 10th. He was also a chairman for the inside bar for the picnic, so an appointment was necessary. My husband, Jerry Pechal, was selected as the chairman and elected as the hall manger for the remainder of the year. So if any of you wish the use of the hall for any occasion, see us and we will book your event, it that date is open.

I wish to thank all of you who workEd at our annual picnic on July 12 and also to those who , worked on baturday and Monday. A special thanks to the sisters of both lodges for the abundance of food brought. Thanks, also, to all who came to the picnic. The Vrazel Polka Band really gave out with same good music — day and night. Some lady went home minus a hat, because one was found on the grounds Monday. It is in good condition, so the owner may call for it at her convenience.

Members, reme2nber the next meeting date August 2nd and come to your ledge meeting. Only by taking an interest in your lodge, can you feel you are an active member of our large order.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Jerry Pechal,

Veselka No. 56; and Youth Leader Assistant, Sister Betty Novosad No. 161.

Brother Joe Juricek opened the meeting at 7:40 p•m, and welcomed all, officers and visitors. Brothel Elsik Dist.

Treasurer sent his regrets that he was unable to attend this meeting, but was sure that the officers present will do what was best for the District. This special meeting was called for the purpose of ,discussing and planning for the Queen contest.

Brother Hejny 'was asked to speak and he made many good suggestions. He stated that it is our endevor to preserve youth for the SPJST. The youth club is our future and we should try to keep it with us. Youth Club members will be leaders in our Great America. All out effort should be given to the youth to help enable us.

Brother Kleprlik reported that 5 out of 18 lodges pay 5c dues per lodge member. Many don't realize the meaning of District meetings, therefore many lod"ges don't contribute to the general district fund. at present this is the only means of raising funds in District 7. All contributions will be appreciated, so do please try to contribute to this general District fund.

Brother Kleprlik made a motion that percentage of net proceeds of District 7 meetings go to District 7 General Fund.

Motion seconded by Brother F. W. Veselka. Motion carried. The District Secretary, Sister Jurica was given authority to notify all lodges to pay 5c dues by next District meeting.

All entries must not be postmarked later than Aug. 15th. Please mail the information to Brother Joe B. Hejny, Box 400, Temple, Texas. No report means no princess in this contest.

Brother F. W. Veselka made a motion that all Youth be invited to participate at the Youth program, but instead of cash awards they will be given a noon meal and admittance to the Princess Ball. Motion agreed and passed on. This way the District will be able to a ceomplish more in the Spring meeting and plan for an Activity Day at the same time.

Wednesday, July 29, 1959 other recipe popular among the Czechs, that is: Rizky, also known as Vienna Schnitzel.

During the Austro-Hungarian empire, many a young man of Czech origin served his required three-year army stint in Vienna, and many a young maiden followed her lover to Vienna to work in the better homes until such time as they could be married.

According to the laws of the land, a young man could not marry until he had served his three years in the Austrian army, or his beloved had to prove that her dowry from home was sufficient to maintain them both for three years, which in most instances was not the case, so the lovers waited out the three year period, and the Schnitzel, became the Rizek back in the homeland and, both became internationally famous.

What a steak is to the American, the Rizek is to the Czech and the Schnitzel is to the Austrian.

For a true Rizek, or schnitzel, the meat should not be cut straight across the grain, but on a slight slant, half with and half against the grain, into slices from 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick (one-eighth to one-fourth inch thick). The slices should be trimmed and then placed between several thicknesses of waxed paper and pounded gently with a flatfaced wooden mallet, or flat, side of a cleaver until they are one sixteenth to one eight inch tick. The purpose of the pounding is to partially break down, but not mash the fibers of the meat.

An old rule is that a Rizek-schnitzel should be pounded so thin that a newspaper can be read through it, even though this rule is slightly exaggerated.

However, the Rizek-schnitzel should be thin enough so that it will cook through quickly, in about one minute's time.

Many a large meat markets today have a machine which automatically runs the slices between cleats to break down the fibers to more tender meats from less expensive cuts. This process may be used on the Rizky-schnitzels with perhaps an additional bit of pounding to achive the desired thinness.

The pounded slices then are marinated in lemon juice for an hour. They should be turned while they are marinating.

All Rizky-schnitzels should be fried in a lot of butter, so they will cook evenly, and should be turned only with a Dear Girls: You asked for more Czech recipes, so pancake turner, as a fork would pierce instead, of chatting with you, I'm giving them, letting the delicate juice escape.

2 pounds of veal, prepared for the Rizky-schnitzel.

Lemon juice to cover the meat.

1/2 pound butter, (margarine) melted.

2 whole eggs 2 tablespoons water 1 cup fine dry white bread crumbs mixed with 1/4 cup flour.

Marinate the Rizky-schnitzel in the lemon juice for an hour. Beat the eggs slightly in a bowl and add the water.

Dip the slices in the mixture, dredge with the bread crumb mixture and let rest for 15-20 minutes.

In a good-sized skillet, melt the butter or margarine and let if foam well.

Reduce the heat. Add the breaded slices and saute 1 to 1/2 minutes for both sides or until the slices are done having turned a golden brown. Sprinkle lightly with lemon juice and serve at once.

A sauce of melted butter, 12 Anchovey filletts mashed, and a pinch of paprika may be poured over these golden slices, if preferred. Garnish with thin slices of lemon. This recipe will serve eight people.

Schnitzel from game, young deer can also be prepared by marinating in a special brine sauce for two hours, to take the wildness out of the steak.

Drain the steaks well. Then dip them, first in the melted butter, then the seasoned bread crumbs and in a skillet containing 1/2 to one inches of hot fat, fry these steaks until they are brown on both sides. Use the pancake turner instead of the fork for turning to preserve the juices locked into the schnitzel.

Serve hot, garnished with thin slices of lemon. Serves eight people.

In a separate pan, brown the schnitzels quickly in hot fat. Lay them on top of the sauteed onions. Cover the pan and cook over a low heat for five minutes.

In the meantime, mix the sour cream, meat stock or bouillon, flour, salt, pepper and the paprika together. Pour over the Rizky or Schnitzles and simmer for another five minutes. serve immediately.

This recipe serves eight persons, also.

I hope these dainty schnitzel steaks appeal to your family. They are quickly done.

Soon I hope to give you a recipe for Veal Cutlets, another popular Czech dish in their own famous variations.

Happy eating!

Any candidate for a Princess must be a member of her local lodge, 13 t hrough 19 years of age, and single.

Winning Princess of each lodge may select her own Prince who must also be single and a member of the same local lodge.

The Princess and her Prince must work with all Organizers of their own local lodge in obtaining new members and in promoting insurance sales for the SPJST.

Queen and King Contest Comm.

SPJST District V (Charlie Cerny, Birdie Hilsher, Louise Kadlecek) ) SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SPJST DISTRICT V Attention Organizers, Lodge Officers, And Members of District V: Enclosed you will find rules and regulations covering the operation plan of our Fall District Organizers Queen and King Contest that is "kicking off" July 15th of this year.

The duration of the entire contest is three months ending October 15, 1959 and is divided into two 'half periods.

The first half will be called the "interlodge contest" that will decide the winning Princess and her Prince who will qualify as candidates flor District V

Strana 22

Wednesday, July 29, 1959

Queen and King Contest. The first half closes August 31st.

Every organizer is qualified and should sponsor a Princess and her Prince to enter into the first half "inter-lodge contest", and the Princess receiving the greatest amount of points will be the winner of her own lodge. The winning Princesses points will be counted into the second half of the District V contest. Points gained by the loosers in the first half will not be counted nor can be credited to the winning princess for the final half of the District V contest.

The purpose of dividing this contest into these two periods is to give every local organizer of our District the same chance of winning in the District, regardless of the size of lodge represented.

It simply means that the winning Princess and her chosen Prince will be the ones sponsored by the Organizers procuring the greatest amount of insurance and new membership.

parently, the chaperones had about as much fun as we did!

Following the hayride at El Rancho, we drove over to Flag Pole Hill, near White Rock. Lake, to roast what was left of our marshmallows. Then, believe it or not — ten-agers that we are — we amused ourselves by swinging on the swings, sliding down the slide, and even see-sawing. We were all having a glorious time, but — as the old saying goes: "All good things must come to an end!" And so ended a perfectly wonderful, fun-filled night. All of us agree that, even though it was previously cancelled, the hayride was well worth waiting for!

We are very grateful to Mrs. Jenora Rejcek ,Mr. and Mrs. Willie Ondrusek, and to our grand Youth Director, and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Petr, for going along with us.

There is no need to say that we each will be looking forward to many more hayrides in the future.

As SecretaryReporter of the Teen-Age Division, I introduced the adult members to the recent publication of the SPJST Youth News, by bringing .a few extra copies to the meeting. The President of the club, Richard Sykora, invited the membership to look through the scrapbook which is being kept as a record of the activities for the year 1959. Richard also gave a brief account of our many and• well-earned awards presented at the Youth Activity Day. Information was given concerning the bus which is being chartered by the Teen-Agers for Lodge 66's Princesses Dance. Everyone was invited to go along to this affair. Indeed, true act of fraternalism 'would definitely be made by attending this important event of our Waco Lodge. Our District Princess, Bdtty Staglik, and her escort, James J. Janousek, presented a beautiful color portrait of themselves to the Mother Lodge. It is a sure fact that we will never forget our lovely Princess and her escort nor Will we ever forget the splendid way in which they represented Lodge 84.

For a special reason, Mr. Sid Pokladnik, our Mother Lodge President, gave our Teen-Age Division a few helpful remarks and well-meant admonitions. He emphasized the importance of always reporting any and all projects first to our Youth Director and her able assis-

Mr. Pokladnik's words were well called for and we can assure him that his words will forever remain in our minds.

We are grateful to him and to our Mother Lodge for their intense interest in our Teen-Age Division. We realize that our club would be at a complete loss if our Mother Lodge would cease to support us.

Sports Column OTTO L. HOSES DALLAS, TEXAS CHOOSING THE RIFLE FOR HUNTING Dear Sportsmen and Pleaders: By tradition the rifle has been the American hunter's number one weapon, and from the ,days of the early settlers on this continent, it was chosen as the only arm for shooting game for the household and for protection. The shotgun at that time was an expensive affair due to the expensive manufacture of fine shot pellets and besides the varabout it the muzzle had a funnel shape. adapters were unheard of. A lot of these guns were brought over from England namely the "Blunderbus" which had a rather short barrel and the odd thing about it the muzzle had a funnel shope.

This "funnel" gun even though it was fired by flint lock action, was built for a reason. Its main purpose was its deadly effect it had on highwaymen and rogues who used to ambush and waylay horse driven coaches in "Merry Ile England." These coaches and carriages hauled passengers and cargo, even gold shipments for royalty. There were no highways nor good roads, therefore in convenient, out of the way places bandits lurked to prey on the ones who carried money or valuables. You can picture the results when the well armed driver with his blunderbus loaded with scrap metal or lead shot let go at short range — another highwayman bit the gravel, etc. This discouraged some.

This gun and others similar to it did not exactly fill the needs of the colonists even though they bagged wild turkey and other wild fowl with it at short range. Therefore as needs demand the hunters turned to the muzzle loading cap and ball musket or rifle as they were called later after the hole in the barrel was cut with spiral grooves called "rifling". These rifled guns were a great improvement over the old smooth bore muskets in guilt-edge accuracy on game and hostile Indians. As all men love

Wednesday, Stly 29, 1959

sport, competition and hunting, some excelled in casting uniform and accurate loading components for their rifles. Improvement in linen patches, fine flints, and lock actions, which brought about the first turkey and beef shooting contests which are still here to this day.

Immagine the delight of a young colonial urchin who won his first beef bull in a contest — yes, the family had their larder full for sometime unless the father had a dozen hungry young ones. Well maybe the old man won next time to even the score.

Today of course the scatter gun is as important in American hunting groups as the rifle. But the ultimate thrill comes to the "big game" hunter when he locates his game and lets go with a well aimed accurate shot with his pet rifle, be it a handed down saddle Winchester with worn iron sights of a scopesighted high velocity super bagnum for long shots across canyons. The thrill is there but make it humane and know your rifle before you go, because cripples are pityfull to see and gut shot deer might go to the next county before he expires, only to be devoured by wolves or other animals.

glad to bring home and show the boys.

For those who go after elk, moose of large bear my advise: Talk to experienced hunters who have hunted these critters and also your licensed outfitter and reliable guides who are always very helpful, and want you to have a successful hunt and a good time. )•

Antelope are another problem. The choice is varied in calibers but choose one that has high velocity and preferably scope sighted for a long range shots as the plains animals take off in overdrive when the bucks flash their rump hairs as a danger signal when man is near. Shots are seldome under 175 to 200 yards, and a good telescope will give you the view of a good trophy you will be
