Ve Ettedu dne, 23. zati 1959

"Sla lets" (od Vlasty Javoricke) (Pokraeovani) Nanynka byla skovana v komore a zakrYvala si oci — styclela se hrozne a pH for byla tak At'astna.

A potom piece musela, do svetnice, gel pro ni Lojzik a bratrsky ji domlouval: "Nebud' piece hloupa. Co bys se sty dela. Jindra uF se nemilk doOka,t, porad koulca na dvere se kterYch prijdeg."

Tak Nanynka ka a se sklopenVma oeima privitala hosty, ale potom uF to nemohla yydrFet, aby se na Jindru nepodivala. Libil se ji a nemohla si to odpustit. A chaes se ji Irbil je gte vic, neF prvne, protok byl trize pekne pristrojeny, mel dokonce eerne gaty.

A to piece bylo, jest a bude, k muzum slugi eerne gaty.

Panimama sna gela, obeerstveni a musela na Nanynku brknout, aby ji pomahala, protok holka byla nejak zpitomela a zustala stati s rukama svislYma. To by tak bylo, myslila si maminka, aby potom meli za jistST, Fe je holka lenoch a budi2 k nieemu.

Tak muselo Nance taky do prate nosit na still vgecku tu rictu, co byla strojend. Zatim ov gem jenom koldee a kfehoutky, koblihy a takove veci, maso mein bYti teprve k obeclu.

Potom dovolili tern detem, aby se vytratily, Lojzik gel s nind si hospodafstvi. Mlhou sice mzilo a v ge bylo vlhke a omokle — vlhly i vlasy a padalo to na prsa, 'ale jim bylo hezky a lehko.

Sli zahradou a za humenici aF za Souekova humna a Lojza si nepfal nic, neF aby potkali Hedvu. Tak by se byl na ni rad podival, ale nebe mu nepralo. Hedva, byla doma, nebo snad v kostele.

Starr doma osameli a tak se Kudrna hnedle do toho dal, aby se vec projednala neF prijdou.

Povedel kolik maji korcu poll, kolik v for luk a lesfi, kolik dobytka a jak dluh na statku. Inu bylo to naramne, Berieg ov3"7m se to hrozne libilo panimama a g zaslzela. Oni tedy take gli s barvou ven, ze daji Nanynce Best tisic zlat3"Tch a celou vSt bavu, ba, Fe pridaji take jegte jalovici, bude-li to muset bYt. Kudrnovi se o v pravde zdalo zcela slugnSim, ale ja kto uz bylo v obyeeji, vyslovil, Fe eitali tak aspori na osm tisific a Fe jak to vidi u Bene gri si stojeji dobk a mohli by lehce pfidat.

Benegovi se zapalily tvare a jal se ohnitre protestovat, ze oni nejsou, Fadni ma-

VISTNK- vkST,TEXAS xrionari, Te nenadelal krvav'ch penez, Fe oni neodhaneli Febraky od prahu, ale kaFdemu radi podarovali, tak ze nemohli penez nadelat do foroty.

Kucera nechtel sedlaka pohnevat a couval na pill cesty.

Bene g mu gel naproti a tak po notne chvili. pH ni2 se vypil clFbanek piva ujednano. Fe daji Bene govi Nanynce 6 tisic zlatYch a dva kusy dobytka a jeden tisic, Fe ji Lojza jegte doplati az jak to bude s jeho prinosem. Svenli take Kudrnovi, Fe si tu namluvil sirotka, jemuF nejsou pestouni nieim povinni a daji-li mu co, Fe to bude jejich dobra vale, mnoho Ze to asi nebude.

To se Kudrnovi libilo a vyslovil sve uznani ,Fe nekoukaji na penize, jako na pracovitou a hodnou holku, Fe maji dobre, protoze ty penize nejsou vgecko.

"Dyt' my taky tak. Dybychme nevideli, Fe mate vgecko, jak Fl y bych s vami nesmlouval. Nanynka se nam libi a co blame, Fe se libi Jindtichovi."

A potom se jal vypravovat, jak meli stargiho syna Pepika, jak ho meli radi a jak to byl take hodnS7 hoch.

Byl na vojne u dragounti, tri roky stale mezi korimi a nic se mu nestalo.

Potom ale pfi gel domft a byl to ifF asi jeho osud. Jejich hnedka, tako .0 dobrSr tichS7 kftri, nejak se lekla, kopla ho a vidite lidieky, od toho mel smrt.

"Chradnul, chfadnul, aF umfel."

Mezitim prisli ti mladi a chteli to take poslouchat.

"Ale povidam tu vo nagi hnedce. Jakk to je stark, dobrk zvite a co udelala Pepikovi."

"Inu je to nema tvaf," dodal Beneg.

"A pteci jsem se jr nezbavil. Napfed jsem se nechtel uz na klisnu ani podivat. pripadala mi jako vrah mYho syna. Ale potom pfeci mi prokazala takoyou dobrou sluFbu, Fe jsem ji v gecko prominul.

"To povidate vo tech loupdnikach, vite tatinku,"ozval se Jindra.

"Jo — jo — von uF to umi z pained," pousmal se Kudrna, "ale vam to muslin povidat."

"Tenkrat jsem mel dobytka pinou magtal. Neco se mot gikovalo, tak se to vodstavilo, neco trize dojilo, tak toho tak bylo lito, ale pfeci se musel vodprodavat, aby bylo misto. To jsem v ji ye dna trh par kouskft a vgecko tam prodal.

Strana 9 sem asi 800 zlatejch u sebe a mel jsem. radost. To jsou piece penize!

Ale jak jsem vjel do hlubokelch Vra2skejch lesa to bylo u Topelce — bylo hezky tma. Nechtel jse mjeti na OiZovou, ipsin. oe cisatskej silnici, je to dal a chybil

Asi v puli cesty najednou na me vylitli dva chiapi — jeden mi popad kone u huby za vohlavku a druhej se sapal na me.

Ale hnedka byla gikovna a vodhoclila ho jednou ranou. M11101-III jsem dal sam to kovou mastnou aF se svalil s vozu a kolo mu ptejelo nohu. Zustal leFet, ale strelrl po me. Podle v geho to byla pistole a flaky broky dostala klisna do nohy. Dala se do trapu a Ietela po silnis jen to htmelo.

Teprve ye Vrak trochu vochabla, tak Fe jsem ji mohl ranu vymejt a zavazat.

Doint jsme prijeli voba, celST ustragenY, ale hlavni bylo, Fe jsenL800 mel v kapse, Vod, tk doby nedam na hnedku dopustit."

Panimama se potom dotazovala, jak se jim dab ye statku slepice a jak' chov maji nejradSi, mela radost, ze se Kudrnam libi jeji kropenate slepieky. Slibila jim vejce k nasade a povidala, ze u nich je na tyhle kropenatY dobre misto, ale bile slepice Fe se jim nedati, tern Ze to nesvedei.

Vzali pak Kudrnu a SU s nim po hospodatstvi. VSude ho provadeli a hospe-, dal. se chlubil veelami i studni. Byla nehluboka, ale mela silne prameny, dobre neprilig ty rde vody.

Panimama ji chvalila na pradlo i na valeni a starostlive se doptavala, jak to oni tam maji, zdali neni pro vodu daleko, nebo o ni nouze.

Nanynce to bylo divne a skoro a2 k smichu, jak se mute maminka o takoye maliekosti zajimat, ji to bylo jedno, maji-li vodu anebo ne, je-li tvrcla, nebo mekka„. -Med byl znamenitSr. Polivka, knedle, husa a kachny — buchty a koblihy a2 se na to srdce srnalo.

Mimo Kudrna tu byli take ieRe hoste z Plaz a RaFe a v gem chutnalo.

Mladk Kudrna byl v nebi a Nanee jak by smet.

BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

Reports from ow 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. O. Box 85, West, Texas.

—HERALD— FOUNDED 1897 Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P. 0. BOX 400, TEMPLE, TEX. FROM

What You Should Know About Life Insurance IN ORDER TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOUR UNINSURED FRIENDS Again in 1958, the American public took advantage of the wonderful privileges granted through life insurance contracts, purchasing $67 billion worth of additional protection. As a result, total, protection in the United States new totals $550 billian, with some 124 million individual policy holders.

For more than a century, the principle of mortality and interest has proved the only way for an individual or business -- with no more than the stroke of a pen --- to establish an estate which becomes payable, in cash, i baucdiately upon the death of the individual insured.

There are many other advantages from life insurance contracts --- particularly those enjoyed b y l iving policy holders. Sixty per cent of the record. $7.2 billion paid to policy holders and their beneficiaries during 1959, went to those who were still living. At the end of 1958. the financial guarantee for future fulfillment of these contracts totaled $107.6 billion.

There are still many American families who are not adequately insured, however, and even more unfortunately, there are some that have not yet taken any advantage whatsoever of the benefits of this service.

Many persons are not familiar with the technical terms of the industry, and as a result, there is some confusion. The terms, however, require only a brief explanation.

All regular insurance is divided into two classifications. The first is term insurance, which is exactly what it implies— temporary -insurance for a specific period of years. For example, there are five, ten or fifteen-year term policies, Term insurance provides protection for the period of time for which it is written.

THE EDITOR'S DESK Procedure in Naming Individual Beneficiaries

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

All other forms of permanent insurance carry the name of the method of payment. For example, insurance may be purchased outright and paid for in one lump sum. This is called a single premium contract.

If the applicant for permanent insurance desires to pay for his protection within a fixed period of time, then it is known as a limited payment contract, such as 10-payment life, 20-payment life, etc.

The most popular form of permanent insurance is that type which the insured chooses to pay for over the period of his entire lifetime. This is called ordinary life insurance. Ordinary life is the lowest preMium form of permanent life insurance. The premium remains constant throughout the life of the policy.

This has become most popular with the American public.

The purpose of writing thes few paragraphs is simply' to get away from my old way of inviting you to attend our different Lodge or District functions, while I still think that it is important for continuation of our Brotherhood.

Thanks for reading this.

Your Editor (To be continued)

(Continued) Children Included in Class Designation: Designation of the class, "my children" has been held to include adult as well as minor children of the insured, adopted children, and certain illegitimate children. Where children are born to the insured after the issuance of the policy, they usually will share in the proceeds. The theory is that such proceeds do not come into existence until the policy matures, and the class designation should therefore be read in the light of circumstances existing at that time.

Where the insured has children of different marriages, a class designation may or may not accomplish his intent.

For example, where the insured designates his second wife and "children," his children by a former wife are definitely included. But when he designates his wife and "their" children, the courts differ as to whether children of another marriage should be included. The majority of the decisions include all children of the insured.

Summary: The problems attached to class designation, as a practical matter, should no longer be a major concern of the life underwriter since the companies generally prescribe the procedure to be used in the naming of beneficiaries, and usually they will not issue a policy unless such procedure is followed.

Where the beneficiaries are clearly ascertainable, life insurance can accomplish one of its distinguishing features, namely, prompt payment of the proceeds to the intended persons.

Beneficiary classes however, are still important in fraternal, industrial, and group insurance. There a beneficiary often must belong to an eligible class.

Other Relatives: This classification generally includes parents and more distant relatives, such as cousins, nephews, and nieces.

Special attention should be given to cases where the xelative is or is likely

Since an invalid or aged beneficiary often dies before the insurance proceeds are exhausted, special care should be given so that any unpaid proceeds will pass to the desired contingent beneficiaries. * • ( )

High School "DropOuts" Face Poorer Future Another school year is beginning and a considerable ,number of boys and girls throughout the United States will quitely drop out of nigh school, never to return, never to receive a diploma. For the nation as a whole, only 60 per cent of those who enter high school remain to graduate.

If you know a youngster who says he will not resume school this fall, see if you can persuade him to go back. An education cut short will have a decided effect on his future.

Maybe the effect will not be especially noticable at the beginning, because boys and girls who quit school do not have too much trouble getting a job right away. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently kept an eye on a group of "drop-outs," and discovered that the school leavers found jobs "with almost startling promptness" once they began to look for work. Most were earning some kind of income within a month's time.

High school graduates also find jobs quickly, but there is a difference in the kind of jobs both groups obtain. For example, suppose you have a daughter who is planning to quit school early.

Chances are her first qob will require no particular skills. On the other hand, if your daughter has a high n11001 dip• loma she will probably go to work in an office because of the skills she had acquired in her commercial courses.

A difference in types of jobs also shows up among boys who quit school early and those who stay to graduate.

Thus, if you have a son who is thinking of dropping out of high school, he may very well wind up in a job where no special skills are required: an unskilled worker in a factory, laborer or perhaps a filling station attend'ant.

V it STNI — WEST, TEXAS leaves school early will find work right away, he will not do as well financially as the full-fledged high school graduate.

If you want to convince a boy of the value of returning to school in the fall, try these statistics on him: 16 per cent of boys who had quit school were not even making $40 a week in their first jobs, and only 20 per cent were earning $80 a week or better. How did the high school graduates make out? Thirty-one per cent were earning $80 a week or better and only 4 per cent were earning less than $40 a week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said.

Perhaps even this argument will not be strong enough to convince a young person who is determined to quit. He might insist that he an get along on a smaller income at first, and that time will take care of the raises.

But what he does not know is that the one who leaves school early is more often the victim of unemployment than the high school graduate. This ea ov ed to be the case in all seven geographical areas covered in the Labor Statistics study. In terms of rates of unemployment, spells of unemployment and total time since leaving school spent as an unemployed worker, the drop-outs had a much poorer record than the graduates.

DALLAS, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: Saturday night, Sept. 12, all of the Softball Team members, their wives and our two bat boys, held their annual Steak Dinner at. Winfrey Point, on White Rock. Lake. The host and hostess were Willie and Carlyn Ondrusek and those two grand people, we, the Softball Team are rdeeply indebted for the most delicious steaks and all the refreshments that we all enjoyed so immensely. We want them to know that the promise Willie made to the team at the beginning of the season "if the team won their league chanmpionship, he would furnish the steaks for our Annual Steak Dinner," was the great motivating force behind the ball club and the major reason we had such a successful season and we won not only one league Championship but two of them.

We do appreciate your generosity and we wIsh to thank you both from the bottom of our hearts and assure you that this dinner will always remain as a momentous occasion to us all in years to come.

After the conclusion of OUT supper, all the bail players and the bat boys were presented with a beautiful set of SPJST cugglinks, courtesy of the Supreme Lodge, as a token of appreciation for the wonderful and gentlemenly way that i,he team represented our SPJST fraternal order this past season in the Dallas City Commercial organized Softball League. We wish to extend our thanks to the Supreme Lodge Officers for their thoughfulness and their generosity and we assure them that all of the players were overjoyed to receive as well as proud of these culflinks. We hope we can only represent our order as well next season.

Then Willie and Carlyn Ondrusek, our host and hostess, were each presented with a small gift, as a token of friendship and appreciation for what they

ha, done for the team. Though the gift& were small, the thought": and meaning that went with them were much, much greater.

Next, the Batting Champion, or I should say Champions, were presented their trophies for having the best batting records over the whole season.

We have two trophies, the first one to Joe Jarolik, who had the batting average of .348 the highest; the second trophy to Grady Garrett, who played more games than Joe did and had more official at bats, also the fact that we were in two Leagues this season, was considered, and Grady's average was .313. The three next best averages were Ben Jarma .297, Ted Dusek, Jr., with .284, and Frank Mach III with .250, and the rest of the averages I will not mention and I feel sure this fact will be appreciated, considering we played in Leagues with several of the strongest teams in the city, the above averages were very good and the team as a whole did very well.

award. I will say this, all of the 17 team members and two bat boys, in my opinion, were also most valuable and deserving but there could only be one winner of the trophy, the rest of you fellows are tops in my book and I just hope that all of you will agai be on the team next season. I will be looking forward to seeing you all and let's not have any talk of retiring by some of you "ole" Pros.

Lillie, my sweet wife, and myself wish to thank all of the ball players and their wives, also the honored guests for the beautiful blouse you presented to her and for the most useful and wonderful sleeping bag you presented to me, all we can say is, we didn't deserve it and you shouldn't have done it. Nevertheless, ybu did, and we do deeply appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness and we will always treasure these mementos from the team of 1959, "One heck ova swell bunch" of friends and fraternalists and May God Bless Each and everyone of you.

The last award, a trophy for the Most Valuable Player Award, selected by the vote of the players themselves was awarded to Grady Garrett, our pitcher, a good one as well as a great teammate who contributed greatly to our success this season. To Grady, I will say this: it is the greatest honor any player can receive, a vote of thanks and confidence expressed by all of his teammates themselves and a most honorable

After the dinner was completed, various games were played, coffee was enjoyed as well as other refreShments, also marshmellows were roasted and enjoyed, mostly by Don Flanks. Everyone enjoyed 'visiting together and about 11:39 p.m. the party came to a conclusion.

I wish to thank Jody Rejcek, who was the head chef, and to Joe Jarolik his most capable assistant for doing such a

Wednesday, September 23, 1959 good job of cooking the steaks, they were delicious. I also wish to thank anyone, who in any small, or large way helped with the preparation of the dinner. Your help was greatly appreciated.

The Annual Steak and Award Dinner is always the climax of our Softball season, so with the memorable and unforgetable evening of refreshments, food, °fun, andwards, we thus conculde this season and our thonks to everyone all of our members and friends who all helped make this season so enjoyable for the Softball Team.

Fraternally yours, Ben Jarma, Team Manager Editor's Note: My sincere best wishes to all of you boys. ) • & • (

FOR NEITHER PROFIT NOR GLORY— BENEVOLENCE, HUMANITARIANISM AND BROTHERHOOD It was a beautiful day! The sun shown down on Dallas, Saturday, September 12, as Jaro's brotherhood and the Sokol's fledglings, and those a bit older, converged upon this city to celebrate a memorable day — the opening of the magnificant jointly owned new home of SPJST Lodge 130 and Sokol Zizka, Dallas at 7446 Greenville Avenue.

The two day celebration, Sept. 12-13, started with a dance Saturday night as teams of gymnasts from various Texas units of the Sokol, and the sisterhood and brotherhood of the SPJST came in from, afar as well as near by bus and car, to gather again in happy reunion to mark a milestone in the history of these two lodges. Sokol Zizka is a physical culture and educatibn faternity and the Lodge Jaro is a fraternal insurance order, both founded and pioneered by early Czech immigrant people, and this, their third home since its inception in Dallas, celebrated the building of a contemporary, air-conditioned and modern 150,000 dollar home.

After the first world war, this membership found themselves enlarging and remodeling their Sokol Hall on Carl St. then a suburb in a sparsely inhabited wooded area. Two years ago, this same location found itself re-zoned by the City of Dallas, wilth houses hemming it in on all sides, where in this modern age of cars and parking — parking space became problem. The membership started negotiating for the sale of the old Sokol Hall on Carl Street and locating new grounds with ample space for children and cars. The committee worked hard, submitted plans for various tracts in Dallas and finally approved the Purchase of these four acres of stately pecan treed grounds in the old town of Vickery now in the City of Dallas.

After a year's lapse, in which the building was started.

During this . year's time, however, the sister Lodge Pokrok No. 84, offered its home and facilities as well as monetary moral support to activities to its sister Lodge Jaro. The Women's circles, not only in Dallas but surrounding ladies. all contributed.

This women's Circle is a group made up of older Czech women and kin, with their Thursday morning meetings and coffee klatsch, where handmade articles of beauty and practical use are made for prizes, sales etc. These members also conducted bake sales etc., and contributed their "Widow's Mites" to this common dream, a new Sokol Hall and Jaro's home. Members of the Dramatic Club contributed with benefit performances.

Dinners by the sisterhood were ne-plusultra in Czech cooking was served, swelled the common coffer. Monetary donations instead of flowers in memory of departed and beloved souls in the ranks, poured into the money-pot. Out and out donations with well wishes, too, found their resting place in this pot.

Many a Czech housewife with her donated platter of kolaches contributed her tithe to this same cause. From the tiniest to the mightiest they all gave of love, sweat and money. The "Golden Deeds Book" of this joint project would be full, indeed, if each deed, gift and each task were recorded arid the names of the donors would be legendary, The new home is a momnorial, to.). to those who are no longer here. To those who didn't live long enough to see it completed. Most of these active adult members are children of .Sokol's and Jaro's older members, and were brought up in the "way of life," so one might say that this day's opening can give credit to the cld pioneer members of these two orders for their influence and rearing of their young in the spirit of Brotherhood, Benevolence and the theory of Soundness of Body and Mind through physical culture. They have instilled these principles into their souls so that they might carry on this work in the future. Now the grandchildren of these pioneers are those spirits one saw running across the green lawn of this new home, who in their turn will carry on where today's men and women laid down the baton.

To get back to the Dedication: Sunday morning at 11:00 with the brotherhood looking on, Old Glory was raised for the first time on its flagpole. Lovely Sister Alice Janicek sang the Star Spangled banner in her beautiful voice which moved us all who heard her. The Pledge of Allegiance followed.

Brother Mira Jurcik,: President of Lodge Jaro 130 welcomed everyone to Jaro's new home in a short talk and

Wednefiday, Septernher 23..1959 thanked everyone for their support of this project, in whatever manner it was professed.

Brother Mira C. Parma, President of Sokol Zizka, welcomed, "each and everyone for it gladdens the heart to see our friends on such an occasion • as this.

Speaking on tht Sokol's motto: (and Dr. Miroslav Tyrs, the Founder of Sokol in Czechoslovakia) "It is a noble mind with a healthy body and certainly we must instill this principle in our Youth."

Regarding the Freedoms, "which we all take with so much, complacency and for granted," Brother Parma said: "As we look around us today, we see nations where there is no such freedom. I want you to pledge and dedicate yourselves to the bringing of these principles to your youth. It is the duty of every Sokol."

Mr. Joe Gary, a one-time Dallas athlete and now a member of the City of Dallas Council, complimented this dedication as "a public service to the City of Dallas as well as, to yourselves in taking the time, energy and money to bring about this beautiful building such as this where you can gather for wholesome recreation, a facility for all people who go and are interested in strengthening themselves in mind and body. e welcome you in our family as part of our great City of Dallas."

Brother Walter liosek, lovingly known among his co-workers as "Mr. Sokol," presented the keys to the two presidents to the front door and then the process of cutting the Red-Whiteand-Blue ribbon across the glass paned front double doors, had us all filing into the cool Hall to examine the articles in the Bazaar, offered by the Women's Circle where handmade articles went home until Christmas time for a Merry Christmas for someone.

A table loaded with Marchpane Hearts with fluted ribbons of icing,were on sale for the membership. Marcipan, the Czech equivalent to Marchpane, is a pounded almond, spice and sugar paste, baked in heartshapes as, the case may be, which is one of the customs brought over from the homeland of the Czechs.

It used to be that when on market days a young lady or lad, wanted to bring the beloved something from market, the overly ornate, sugar icing decorated heart found its way into the heart of the remembered one. On religious holidays or Holy Pilgrimages this same Marcipan pastry decorated with holy pictures pasted on with egg whites and decorated, was sold the Pilgrim to take back home to those who could not attend. Mere in America, the wife buys

• Wednesday, September 23; 1959 her a Marcipan Heart, or the grandma buys the grandchildren hearts — with love.

Visiting, that is the most precious, for it is here that one renews old ties and places. The little Sokol Unit from Galveston, on the Gulf of Mexico, came in eight strong by bus overnight to give its moral strength to this wonderful occasion. Units from Houston, Corpus Christi, Ennis and the strong Ft. Worth Sokol Unit to say nothing of the Dallas unit itself came. noon the Banquet meal was served.

The work-weary but happy younger sisters of the Sokol-Jaro lodges served the guests With additional coffee, etc., after which the guest speakers and other recognitions were heard.

Brother Emil Hrabina, taking over the duties of Master-of-Ceremonies, began with the introduction of the Executive Members of the Building etc.

Being a member of both orders, it makes me feel more proud in that achievement of both of your having gone hand in hand. Since both orders stress fraternal ism and citizenship. I don't think it would be fair to those of you who came here to break bread today for what this should not be brought forward and mentioned to yott Where there : ire so inanN assembled here together on this occasion. Fram the Sokol viewpoint, it may be said that the spirit of Dr. Miroslav Tyrs is written here today. His very thoughts are demonstrated here today.

The principles laid down by those founders are here, the brotherly spirit is here, the freedom fostered by them is here too. I am sure that all of you know the word Sokol, translates to "Falcon," the bird who soars high in the skies on wings or strength, the bird who sees beyond the vast land, a bird of much courage. To that Emblem of Sokol inspired the Sokols gatherer here today to assemble here.

As Brother Hrabina explained, he did not give any seniority to his introduetics becaus he knew 'his lists were incomplete; as folks arrived into that mob, it was impossible to incline everyone and everything as completely as it really deserved, but he did bid us all "welcome" and for everyone to know that they were J:happy to see us all.

Let us brothers unite for a common cause of all concerned this afternoon and go forward.

May I in closing say this: as individuals, let us resolve that the work of today is the work that was finished for the generation of tomorrow when the footsteps turn in the closing life to Him who made Heaven and Earth."

Brother Marek then spoke in Czech for the older membership, saying he was glad to be among them on this moinentouts day with both lodges being represented and called to them Na Zdar and God Be With You Till We Meet Again!"

The manager of the SPJ.ST Rest Home Brother Rudolph Trouibil, took a bow upon introduction.

Brother Hugo Schefcak, spoke: "In behalf of the Fund Raising Committee, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful donations and contributions in which you so generously participated in our behalf. You have helped us build the gymnasium for the future generations, for the young and old for many, many years to come. In the name of the Committee, we thank you again for what you did for us and God Bless You!" President M. C. Parma, Sokol Zizka, then read congratulatory telegrams from ,Sokol units from Cleveland, Omaha, Los Angeles, from ,SPJST units from San Antonio and Ft. Worth to name a few.

He shall probably list them completely in his report.

"You have made us very happy," said Brother Parma, "that you came with us at this time when we are writing the closing to one chapter and beginning to write a new chapter with the opening of our new building. This is going to be a new chapter of activity and we want to pledge our wholeharted support to our partner in this endeavor, Lodge Jaro 130, We have worked so long together and we will continue to work together and hope that by this example such occasaions and unity throughout these United States, because we want to show the world what the descendents of the Czech people can do.

Oftentimes they are overlooked for their long hours of labor in this Sokol work, not intentionally, but unthinkingly — for the pace of living is fast and there is not time for retrospect.

Brother Charles M. Prchal, summed up the presentation of pins: "You can see that those who have recognized Sokol ideals hace remained forever after Sokols. I believe they will remain so to their last breath. I' would like to ask all of you if you are not a member, do join the organization that in Cz echoslovakia, from Moravia and the countries that comprise this present-day "Many of these people have been Sokol homeland. members longer than the s' years Of our Sokol Zizka," continued Brother Brother Mira Parma then introduced Parma, "having been members in other Brother Henry Kusera, attorney, who organized lodges and in lodges in the assisted the young Building Committee homeland, Czechoslovakia, but we are with advice and legal aid.

It was very -- Webster doesn't I have had some hand in helping. Thank have the word --- for this beautiful you!" concluded Brother Kucera to a tribute that this younger brother had thunderous applause. for his now aged former Sokol president.

Brother Hugo Shefcak was then preMira's own sweet mOther who brought Isented with a similar plaque inscribed:

"Very briefly,'-, continued Brother Parma, "the founder of this Sokol idea, Dr. Miroslav Tyrs wanted to produce healthy men and women, and build strong and sound minds. Before the Second World War, this organization's membership totaled well over one million souls. It is unfortunate but not surprising that Communists had to discredit such an organization by not letting such organization as the Sokol survive, for to do so would be like nailing their own coffin," said Brother Parma in speaking of the extinction of the Sokol Units in Communist occupied countries, where Sokols were persecuted or fled for their lives.

"We realize that by ourselves, we would not have built this building and we want to thank you, e ach and everyone of you who contributed by labor, monetary contributions, etc., and because of this help we •have been able to make this possible.

"First of all," continued Brother Parma, "it had to be organized a Sokol Zizka and they are the old sisters and brothers who in 1912 built the Hall on Carl Street, who trained to learn what it means to be Sokols. The first Dallas Sokol was organized in the yard of our late Brother Will Rezek and his still living wife, now Sister Marie Rezek Linka."

Sister Linka was called forward to receive a 47 year pin .to the applause of the membership.

Strain 20 a resume of his schooling and practice in the City of Dallas, who later became Associate Supreme Court Justice but chose more activity to later become Attorney General of the State of Texas, the Hon. Mr. Will Wilson.

Mr. Wilson, traced brotherhood from the feudal days of Central Europe, before Columbus discovered America; where the spirit of longing for freedom and opportunity gave rise to America's discovery and subsequent immigration by, people to this country, where the Lady of Ellis Island invites the weary, homeless and unwanted to come under her protection, in the light of her torch. He remembered his schoolteacher mother who tried to instill America, Sweet Land of Liberty to children of eight different foreign countries, pointing out that the cultures of all nations became the American background, to make the most wonderful country in the world. He pointed out that it took people who had courage, imagination, courage and the best things they like the most in America, Freedom, a resolves that this freedom Should be preserved in the American way of life. They realized that with the enjoyed freedom came the responsibility of building individual strength and character in this society, as to the society they came from where your life was mapped out for you to live and die in its mold. Then as they first generation of immigrant people passed on, their children found that some of the old culture was worth keeping. This building in Dallas was the product of such thinking. Mr. Wilson stated that the first generation immigrant faced conditions of his children growing up not of just raising the family, but a continuing problem, now universal problem, still with us, still existing. It has a new name now -- Juvenile Delinquency — but it is the same problem that parents have always faced.

While the population of people over 17 years has increased 17 per cent in the last ten year, the offenses from that group has increased five times as fast.

The circumstances that immigrants faced with the youth, at that time has been a continual problem. He pointed out that in organizations such as these the delinquency is less than one per cent, for it affords Youth something to do that it likes to do, the crux of the problem. The statement that "A busy boy is a happy boy" is still good. So to those folks who came from Europe seeking freedom and opportunity found they needed security; in being a integrate part of a group from which to get spiritual nourishment, competition, etc., so that their young people want to be

Mr. Wilson extended his hope for success in the future as that these children when they grow up will be good citizens; if we all did that, we would not need any disciplining institutions. He commented on the initiative, foresight and drive of this membership in building this wonderful Hall in •the City of Dallas.

Let us all work together for a better United States! Na. zdar!

Brother Hrabina•then proceded to outline the work of one of their most ardent Sokols. Brother Walter Hosek who had such a large share in the building of this Hall, who many months ago submitted plan upon plan for acceptance, who neglected his own livlihood to supervise the preparing of the ' land, laying the foundations, building.

Brother Walter Hosek •responded: "Dear Brothers and Sisters, honored guests and friends. On behalf of the Building Committee we would like to take this opportunity of recognizing the great enthusiasm and devotion extended on the part of many of our members and friends during the construction of this center now our beautiful home. We are indeed greatly honored and privileged to have had an opportunity to be of assistance to this vital and worthy task.

"The Sokol and SPJST organizations have a glorious past and we wish them an even greater future.

"Thank you again and Nazdar!"

With the ceremonies over, the guests drifted onto the three-level terraces running on the entire east side of the Hall, where folding chairs were placed for the ensuing athletic program.

On the fresh green grass field below, fashioned like an ampitheater and flanked' by the sky high pecan trees on all sides, a speaker's rostrum and band stand was erected with a public address system installed which made the speaking very audible from all points on the terraces.

Then the Sokol units began to assemble for the Grand March. To a stirring march by Gus Herzan's Band, the flag bearers led the gymnasts onto the field after which the program began.

Mr. Scoville, a member of the Dallas Park Board, thanked the brotherhood for letting them have a part in the dedication ceremony, commented on the wonderful addition to the athletic world.

M. Callum Johnsoni President of the Dallas Athletic Club said: "When we are aware, of some of the problems that faced you in raising the money, selecting the sites etc. to have finished this successfully, certainly merits

WeduesdaY, September 23. MO the applause and thanks from the City of Dallas for this fine facility.

Chairman of the Sokol Zizka Board of Directors, Brother Joe Pokladnik, and Lodge 130, introduced members of his gymnastic staff and their assistants.

They each received an ovation of appreciative applause. Some of their names were not caught as presented, so, if Brother Pokladnik will send in their names for acknowledgement, the Vestnik will most gladly publish them.

Brother Walter Hosek was then presented a beautiful trophy of appreciation by his co-workers which took him completely by surprise. His mother must have been very proud of him, his Daddy your editor, certainly was.

A special number by the Houston sisters presented us with a beautiful rythmic drill full of womanly grace and beauty. Especially beautiful was Sister Carrie Vodehrial, who without fanfare has preservered in this gymnastic work when so many of her former teammates have long retired to the side lir, es. She is still as greceful and lovely as when a young girl, then a bride, and then the mother who took her brood to drill. We salute you dear Carrie!

The 12 year old boys group gave an exhibition on the barless horse, jumping from a springboard start over the horse like young Tartans! The under 12 age little girls showed us preliminary tumbling stunts and mat work.

The Ennis team of mixed boys and girls gave a very effective Duartbell drill.

Their tiny Flagbearer, Alene Skrivanek in the finale did a backbend , and brought home the fact that the Sokol idea starts with the children in the tender age.

Guest gymnasts form the Dallas Athletic Club gave us some thrilling acts of tumbling from their Champions and Champion-runner-up. On the trampoline both the boys and girls gave some astonishing feats, not to say the least thrilling. One can see why they brought home to their Club the Championship titles.

The Fort Worth unit of the girls, gave us a beautifully executed Sailor Boy Novelty number. The Sailor cuties were: MaTy Jean Renfro, Pripcilla Watson, Donna Rose Steinman, Carol Mason, Henrietta Milan and Ann Johnson.

Gus Herzan in behalf of his bands took a bow to the aplause given him when it was announced that these wonderful musicians had given of their talents for the Saturday night dance, the Sunday exhibition of gymnastic talent and then again for that Sunday dance that night free as their contribution to this wonderful cause. God Bless

you, Gus Herzan and your boys, you not only make wonderful music but display a true spirit of brotherhood of man to man.

The program ended about 5:00 p.m with supper being served immediately in the Hall.

A gentle rain began to fall and many guests from out of town headed homeward after a wonderful Dedication of another center which brotherhood built.

This, too, was a day for the Miras, Miros, Mirosla ys, for the two Presidents of both orders, the Sokcil and Jaro are both Miroslav, Mira, for short, while the spirit of another Miroslav, that of Dr. Tyrs, was with them on this happy day in spirit.

Final plans were made in regard to our Princess Dance to be held next Saturday, Sept. 26. The decoration theme and colors were discussed and decided upon and a definite place was decided upon for the banquet following the dance.

In the past years, our Princesses' dances have been very beautiful affairs.

However. this year it will be even more beautiful. Our hall will truly be a lovely sight to behold. May I add that this is no mere exaggeration, but simply the facts! But why not come out and see for yourself? You'll be very glad that you did.

At this point in the contest, all the girls are becoming more and more anxious as the days pass quickly by.

The spirit of each girl and her escort has been marvelous and a true spirit of brotherhood has been maintained throughout the duration of the contest.

Before we realize it, time wil have run out and the long-awaited, night will be here. It's been an unforgettable experience working this year and one that I'm sure no one would ever part with.

So, do make it a point to attend our Third Anniversary Dance next Saturday, the 26th. We have a wonderful orchestra booked for the evening, so you can be assured the very best in dance music.

Hoping to see you Saturday night here at Lodge 84.

Cordially yours, Jerry Ann Urban Secretary-Reporter ° ° (— LODGE NO. 56 CORPUS CHRISTI Dear Vestnig Readers, Our last meeting on September 13 was well attended and we had a nice meeting which ended with a wiener roast — it sure was good.

In Memory of Otto L. Hosek Austin — "White-winged dove hunters, please take only one sack per car."

This request will be on signs at entrance and departure routes of hunting areas this year, according to the assistant director of Wildlife Restoration Texas Game and Fish Commission.

"Be on the lookout for these signs," he said. "Each sign will have a selfdispensing sack holder. It is very important that every hunter's car have one of these sacks."

Each sack will have a form to be filled out by each hunter or group of hunters, number of whitewings and mourning doves, bagged and received or lost. One leg from each whitewing should be placed in the sack.

The hunters then should drop the sack at the base of the portable hunter check stations These stations will be marked, with signs and a blinking blue light, so they can be located after sundown.

Hunters also are reminded to pick carefully their hunting sites. Don't shoot if it will fall into thick brush where it can't be recovered. Attempt to recover all birds.

• • DUCK SEASON RUNS 50 DAYS NOV. 13—JAN. 1 Although there is still some doubt as to the number of ducks and geese coming to Texas this year, the hunting dates have been set. The duck season will open at noon Friday, Nov. 13. Shooting then is permitted from sunrise until sunset through Jan 1. The bag limit is four per day or eight in possession after the first day. Because of an extreme shortage it will be illegal to kill more than one of either red head, canvas back or ruddy duck. This is known as a "mistake" duck.

The goose season opens at noon Oct. 26, and runs through Jan. 8. The limit is five geese per day, with a limit of two
