Strand 9

PROti MILUJI SVOJI RODNOU E? Pad timto ohlavenim chci uvest neko ilk düvodu, prof bychom men zachovat eeskou tee mezi na gimi spolurodaky v teto zemi.

Moje roclna vlast nynej gi "eeskoslovensko", jit pied tisici lety byla kolebkou kragne teal. slovanske.

Zeme ta se zvecla uprostted Evropy, pohoit jsou porostla stovellmi hvozdy a z tech neseislne prameny a potoky se pryg ti i stekaji uvnitt tame cia veletoku jako je na ptiklad Labe v eechach ktery prtilornem na severu z Oech vyteka do Nemec, a u mesta Hamburg se vleva do severniho mote. Eeky Odra a Neise take se vlevaji do Baltickeho mote. Reka Morava pit hranicieh Rakouska a Uher se vleva do teky Dunaj a jde smerem k Ruskin hranicim a vleva se do eerneho mote.

V lime dolin a fidoli mezi luky, poll a gtepnYmi sady rozkladaji se tiche dediny stare hrady a mesta, sidlo to zpevneho bodreho lidu nageho. V teto zemi till naAi ptedkove, jicht Si ka'tdY pro jejich pahostinost, poctivost, veselou mysl, ale i udatnou pest vatil.

Sousede Nemci a Mad'ati a jini cizaci zavideli jim stale krasnou vlast a chteli je Casto podmaniti si, ale bechomorava no héjili majetky zdeciene pa slavnYch ptedcich. Sve tivoty na boji gtich obetovali, aby nenechali vlast v moci cizinch.

Tak ji milovali Vtdyt' chova v lune svem velike bolaatstvi a na,leti k nejpitvabnej tim a nejbohat gim zemim na svete na svoji velikost. Mimo to ma sla ynou minu lost bohatY dejepis z nehot se neime.

Je zaznamenano co slavneho a dobre ho vykonali pro sebe i elo yeeenstva, jak zemi zvelebovali a jar.,yk matetskY milovali a hdjiii. 6astS7mi valkami byl vgak zdecimovan a eizaky potupen a vykotig Voy an. Je take znamo, te to prave jadro na geho naroda, sestavalo z lidu oddane ho poctive sloutit sve vlasti. Nebyl tekavY, vYbojnY, nenapadal s yYch sousedt, nemiloval tivota koeovneho, at na nekolik jednotlivcil.

Za panovani eisatt, kralii a glechtickych radii, na gemu • lidu se Casem nevedlo mac skvele, a proto museli za bra nicemi hiedat to, co jim east° bylo upirano. Nejhlavnej gi piteiny byly: nezamestnanost, hrube zachazeni s pracujicim delnikem a zemedelskou tiidou Iidu, ort.,ezovani svobody slova a tisku, vo jenska, povinna slutba, (tti leta jegte, kdyt maj otec sloutil dvouhlavemu orlu cisate palm, tak jeho plat obna gel 6 krejcara denne.)

Odvatnej gi a podnikavej gi dèiail cesty i do neznamYch mist, jinYch sveta nag i zernekoule. Cesta podniknuta pa mo 11 vytadala si vet gi penetni naklad a i eas (ja jsem byl 21 dni na lodi) a pitstal v Texaskem pitstavu v Galveston, kde i mnoho jinYch TexaskYch obyvatel pHstalo. Ptiznavam zde, te se ml na prvni pohled vge to co jsem zhlédl moc nelibiio, ale kdyt jsem byl jit zde, tak jsem si ptivykal a na dobro zapustil koteny do novo vlasti, kterou jsem pitjal obeanskyrn listem za, svou a ona mne nosi do dnes.

Nebylo vtdy pro katcleho snadn.é nalezti to, za eim zde jel, co bylo jeho snem a ptanim. Zemedelec neb delnik snadneji zde na venkove na farms uchytil Jak povstala na ge Jednota SPJST jent vznikla z matetskeho spolku jmenem Oesko SlovanskY PodpornY Spolek (e.S. P.S.) jestli se dobte pamatuji tehdy sidlem v Saint Louis a sve doby mel hodne Menu co byli zamestnani v prilmy slu a hornictvi, v severo zapadnich statech.

Nekolik TexaskYch Menu co pattili k onomu spolku shlédali, te by bylo pro Texaske ptistehovalce mnohem. prospegnej gim miti svoji vlastni Jednotu a to jen pro stat Texas. K uskuteeneni dogto 1, Cervence 1897.

Tito rozgafni vlastenci a zdkladatele svoji proziravosti a odvahou pit motnost, jak poskytnout na gemu lidu oeskoslovenskeho pfivodu a jejich nivcdm'i/Yhodnou tivotni ochranu, v za vedeni spolehliveho tivotniho poj igteni a peeovat o zachovani eeskeho jaz ka v teto zemi a snatiti se o vgeobecne powneseni spolurodakii na gich jak v mravnim tak i clu gevnim a blo,habytnem ohledu.

Jak vidno, nage Jednota v torn tivotnim poji gteni dostala v gem povinnostem a ma slibnou budoucnost ye svem Visobeni. Deseti milionovY majetek a velkY pithy elenstva v mladem -Mtn, jest nejlepgim clintazem zdraveho postupu a zarukou zdarne einnosti, v souteti s jinSjmi pojigt'ujicimi spolky v Texasu.

Miti -podobn3"7 fispech a porozumeni, kde se jedna "peeovat a zachovani eeskeho jazyka v teto zemi", pak by jsme se hrcie mohli honosit tim vedomfm, jsme verne k-onali dle svYch nejlepgich schopnosti a vedomosti a za danYch pomelIc I okolnosti svoji ptislu gnou narodni povinnost.

Jest nas mnoho co jsme se snatiii svemu slibu dostati pit vstupu do Jednoty.

Jak jme u Mein obtadne byli uvedeni pitjati v jeho kruh, te svuj rodny jazytzachovame a ptenesem na sve potomstvo.

Jest v gak litovat toho, te snad z pots he lhostejnosti nepochopeni a s nedosta teeneho poiteeni, nevenovalo se dosttca su a pozornosti, te je duletito ye vzdelanem svete znati na prvnim mists dtedni tee a pit tom tu jeho matetskou fee, a ;pon easteene ovladat a miti ji v acte vatnosti jakou si zaslouti. Znam osoby jent matetskYm jazykem opo yrhuji, anit sami by spravne oviatiali jazyk eizi.

Neni mm innyslem kritisovat stavejici situaci, ale chci jen timto poukazat, te jest zde nee° zanedbavano a bylo-li by motno otivit zajem, v udrteni a pradlouteni Ceske feel. v Texasu. Die mojeho nahledu jest nejlepe v katcle domdenosti deti od utleho mladi zaueovat oboji tee, eeskou i anglickou. Jak jsou vetgi pak se jit trochu ostSrchaji za gpatnou vYslovnost. Jest klamnYin spolehat se na gkoly, te tam se flatlet!

Nejen my sami ale i jine narody ye svete poznali, te na g eesltY lid je od pitrady naclany, podnikavY, spolehlivY a to ma mnoho jinYch krasnY vlastnosti, ktere se projevi v uzrale dobe, kdyt se jim da dosti easu aby se vyvinuly a uplatnily, s kterYch by dobro plynulo a radost s to ho men nejen jeho ptibuzni, ale i osada, mesto, okres, stat a celY narod. east() jsem zaslechl z feet, ktere se vedly mezi naginci co byli jit zde narozeni, te oni nevidi tadnou pottebu, aby jejich de ti se neily rrdmo anglickou tee take &skou tee.

_car Brothers, Sisters, and Readers: In this issue of the VEstnik, we bring yetti some belated, pictures from ohr District Three Meeting held recently at West, with Lodge Jaromir 54 acting as •host to the District.

Due, to the coming Convention, the Vcstnik had to make room and publish :3q-Law Changes submitted by the ByLaws Committee, which had been presented them by our various lodges, consequently, many of the pictures of the Memorable District Three Meeting with its record breaking crowd, its lovely "'Iroup of candidates to the Miss SPJST Contest, etc., had to be delayed.

We regret this delay, but even our best laid plans are often put asunder by priority material, and Vestnik's 32 'pages just can't held but so much.

All pictures held over will gradually published as space allows, so that our Youth in the brotherhood, in our Teen'';.Age Clubs and Youth Clubs would en,?;joy them and use them in their scrap books by the Youth Club Historians.

The District Three Meeting has al...Teady been presented to Vestnik's read- enn and the only repetition being that th;2. Meeting was one of the largest and most successful one held in our brotherhood. ) 4 c7a To the successful management of our beloved Order, we repeat, confidence and cooperation of our entire membership a MUST and that of our lodge units, districts, organizers, You t h n Leaders, your Editor, and your Publith, (.1: of your Vestnih all of us — for in all of us -- our support, the Supreme ''!LOdge body and our Directors look for support in their efforts. n 9 41 (

In the first six months of this year the entertainment committee has planned a social hour following the meeting in February, March, May and June. The other two months we had guest speakers followed by a tea. In February we held our semi-annual marathon dance opened to all teenage members of lodge 84, March was the month in which we held our Howling Party. Following our May meeting, we had a hayride and picnic. The activities have not been the work of just a few people. No, it has been the cooperation of my entire committee as well as the other teenage members.

We hope to get a game with them in the near future, if our June 1 game does not materialize.

Ben Jarma, Mgr. SPJST Lodge No. 84 I • 4, • LODGE 84 SOFTBALL TEAM (delayed) Dear Sisters and Brothers: Thursday, May 26 we played Texas Instruments and we lost by a score of 3-1.

It was a good close game and we failed to get the hits and runs necessary to have won this game. West Jaska hurled a fine game allowing 4 hits, 2 walks and struck out 8 batters. Five miscues charged against the team hurt emensely.

Wilbur Munger was behind the plate.

Getting single suites for our team were Raymond Smith and Wilbur Munger. Getting on base via walks were Joe Chasteen, Adolph Janecka and Ben Jarma.

This concluded play in the first half of the league play, however, we still have a makeup game with Texas Instruments to determine whether Capital Records or Texas Instruments wins the first half. The Second half of play began June 6th. We will play every Monday night instead of Tuesday nights as some changes had to be made by the association. We are in a league with Massoud Marine, Strickland Transportation, Capital Records and SPJST Fraternal Insurance. We play at LawnviEw Diamond No. 2 and that is on Monday nights. On Thursday nights we will play on Samuel Grand No. 2 and will play with the same four teams as in the first half. We played 6 games in the first half but will play 9 games in the second half. Friday night, May 27, the Dallas Softball Managers Assn. on which I was elected to serve a twoyear term on the executive committee, arranged for a special exhibition softball game featuring the King and His Court,, a nationally famous softball team consisting of only 4 players, featuring Eddie Feinger on the mound. A group of all-stars were selected from all of the teams in the association and Wes Jaska, our catchers was chosen to re present our team. Wes Jaska pitched 3 innings for the All-Stars. The game was won by the King and his Court, 5-4, and we selected some of the best players in the city for our team. It was a very interesting and entertaining game.

VtSTNIK — WEST, TEXAS for all the spectators who attended.

The game was played at Burnett Field and there were approximately one thousand spectators present. I considered it a great honor to have been selected one or three who managed this team. It was a new experience and most enjoyable for all of us.

Wednesday June 1, our team held a good workout at the Dallas 'City Park and we hope the batting practice will help us out in future games. Our proposed exhibition game with the Ft. Worth Sokol-SPJST team could not be arranged as they had a previous game scheduled in Fort Worth. We are looking forward to playing them later in the season.

Monday night June 6, we opened play in the second half of the League play in the "Texin League" with a 3 to 1 win over the Strickland Transportation team.

Wes Jaska hurled a very fine game, striking out 14 batters, walked none and allawed only one hit. The nun scored by our opponents was unearned. Wilbur Munger turned in a fine game behind the plate . The team as a whole played near flawless ball afield. It was a most interesting game, however, only a few members were present in the stands.

Leading hitters were Glen Kirk, our shortstop, who hit a single and a homerun with 2 runners on base to insure our victoryand Albin (Bino) Vrana who also had 2 ,huts. Frank Mach III and Raymond Smith each contributed singles to our cause. I was real proud of the team for such a fine performance, just keep it up.

Wednesday night, June 8, we played Texas Instruments S-C a makeup game which had previously been rained out in th? First half of play and we last by a score of 2 to 0. It was a very close game, only we could not get the runners accross the plate. We had runners on base every inning but the first and had the bases loaded in the 7th inning but our hitters just couldn't seem to get the hit that could have won the game for us. Wes Jaska was on the mound for us and hurled another fine game, alowing 4 base hits, walked 2 batters and struck out six. Wilbur (Moose) Munger was his battery mate behind the plate . Leading hitters were albin Vrana with a double and a single, Ben Jarma a single and Raymond Smith with single. Jody Rejcek walked twice, Paul Valenta, Glen Kirk and Adolph Janecka walked once. The attendance at the game was very small again, nd it makesi us wonder just What is happening to all of our members and friends who used to support the team each game. We still feel confident that you

Wednesday, June 15, 1960 have not forgotten the team and we are looking forward to seeing you at our future games.

Thursday night, June 9th, we open play in the second half of League play in our Thursday night "Gulf League" and our opponent was the Gulf team.

Monday night June 13, we play Capital Records, the second game at 8:45 p.m.; Lawnview Diamond No. 2. Monday June 20, we play Massoud Marine, first game 7:30 p.m. at Lawnview No. 2. Thursday night June 16th we play Capital Records first game at 730; Samuel Grand No. 2.

Brother J. Hejny and Sister EnIma Ceska also are to be Congratulated for the way they helped our Leaders last Wednesday in installing the officers of the Youth Club, and giving them instructions as to what they expe"ct in the future. After the nice talk which Brother Hejny and Sister Ceska had given, ice cream and cookies were served then games were played.

Last Sunday we , had our regular meeting at 2 p.m. Three members are on the sick list, namely Brother Jim Bezdek who is in the Marlin Hospital, Brother Hugo Freund who was in a Waco

Wednesday, June15, 1080 hospital, but is now at home, and Brother John A. Sulak who broke his hip and is in a wheel chair at home. We wish all of you a speedy recovery and hope to see all of you at the meetings soon.

After the meting about 4:30 a combined Mothers's and Father's Day program was given, the same children who have been organized into the Youth Club participated in the Program. It gave lots of work and running around for the Youth , Leaders to work up such a nice program. Sister Patricia Sulak, President of the Youth Club was Toastmistress and Shirley Ann Marek Vice President assisted her. Those of you who were there saw the Figure 8 Dance done so nicely by the younger group, a play, "When I was but a little girl" showing her life from childhood up to the time she and her husnand became old and aged. Songs were sung by Loretta Kopocky and Geraldine Kolar, another very attractive part of the program was a Style Show given by, the teen-age group, Styles ranged from Sack dress, Wedding dress, evening dress, street dress worn with high top button shoes, a model showed the 1920 knee length styles and several other styles were shown. The smaller group did so well with, their skits, and poems. It was a pleasure to watch all these performa nces . I did not give you the names of all participants as I am sure the Youth Club reporter will detail the program for you. After the Program Brother Judge Vic Hall of Waco gave a talk in English and Brother L. O. Hosek, Editor of Vestnik talked in Czech. Prizes were given to Mrs. Whitley of Dallas for coming the farthest distance and Mrs. Charlie Makovy of West won the door prize.

Then at night was a free dance given with music by w ietor Pavlas Band, the whole days activity was enjoyed by many people. Refreshiel ents were served in the afternoon after the Program and at night.

At the time you will be reading this issue of the Vestnik the Convention will be in full swing. Our Best Wishes for a Successful SPJST Convention in San Antonio, Texas.

The Czech History

By R. W. Slovacek Czech people came to Texas to escape from persecution at home.

The nation of people commonly known as Bohemians are in reality Czech, taking their name after their leader who brought the race to Europe about in first century A . D. This race moved into the country in Europe there fore inhabited by race of people known as Bohii, Teutons called this race Bob, me and the British called them Bohe= mians.

Websters unabridged dictionary de. fines "Bohemians" as follows: "Of, or pertaining to Bohemia or its ancient inhabitants, or designating or belonging to their race. Vagabond, unconventional and idle stroller or gypsy thought to be from Bohemia.

In highly civilized communities, one who makes a livelihood by, or is much interested in art, Literature, or other intelectual pursuits, and who takes an attitude of protest against, or of indifference to, the common conventions as society, in favor of freedom from care, naturalness, and originality, especially renouncing the conventional formalities and distinctions in social relations."

The territorial limitations of the present Czecho-Slovakia were originally organized in the sixth century by the Czechs and Slovaks, and existed as a united country under common leadership until 906 A. D. when the Magyars captured Slovakia, and this country remained under the Hungarian, and Au-stria-Hugarian dominion until after the close of the World War One. Czech land, Moravia and. Silesia retained their independence , as a unit until the battle of white mountain, when in 1620 the Austrian rulers subjugated the remaining lands of Czechoslovakia.

The estates of Czech noblemen were imm:ediately confiscated, their libraries destroyed, the Czech leaders forced to abandbn their homeland or suffer death for resisting the Hapsburg rulers, the: teaching of Czech was , forbidden in public schools.

All children were required to study the German language, many people buried their valuable libraries in the ground, and especially their bibles.

The Austria-Hungarian Government did everything in its power to Austrian ize the Czechs The more studious and educated people were persecuted to such an extent that most of them prefered leaving their country and seeking their welfare elsewhere and working from the outside toward liberating their native land from the Hapsburg control. Many

vESTNIK — WEST, TEXAS such men as Jan Amos Komensky, (Commenius), who was offered the presidency of the Yale University, were forced, to leave their Country.

Conditions in Czechoslovakia were so intolerable that Czech immigrants came to the first American colony, Jamestown, in Virginia, in the year 1607, and from then on in almost everyone of the first 13 original colonies in the United States.

Large colonies settled in the States of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York.

(The Czechoslovaks adhered to the German-Catholic Church until the days of Jan Hus, who organized the CzechoMoravian Church)..

William Paca, an early immigrant to the State of Maryland, after serving as Governor of this state, was one of the signers of the Decleration of Independence.

During the 30 years war the Czechs and Slovaks unsuccessfully endeavored to gain their independence from Austria-Hungary. After the termination of the war these people were severly persecuted, from political, educational, religions and economic standpoint, and thereafter large settlements immigrated to Illinois, Texas, Nebraska and California, The early settlers in Texas came to Austin, Fayette, and Colorado Counties.

The 1930 U. S. Census shows the following numbers of European born Czechs by Counties: Austin, 590, Bell 581, Burleson 382, Colorado 382, Dallas 252, Ellis 684, Fayette 1,460, Harris 450, Lavaca 1,724, McLennan 656, Milam 392, Williamson 848. There descendandts are now scattered in every county in the State of Texas.

(This is incorrect as many Czechs reported themselves as Austrians.) —Ed. The first immigrants settled in circles of their own, because they did not know the english language, did not understand the custom in Texas and were happier among their own race.

Practically all of the early settlers were farmers, although; a large number of them were trained tailors, merchants, mechanics or factory laborers in their home lands. Agriculture in Texas was the easiest trade for them to adopt themselves to, because nearly all of them were without finances, ablebodied, accustomed to hard work and unacquainted with American business conditions, Before the World War, that part of Czecho-Slovakia under control of Austria (not Slovakia and Ireland probbably furnished the U. S. with the smallest number of illiterate immigrants.

Once in Texas the early settlers or-

&tuna 27 ganized their own school, financed them and taught their own children in the Czech language, before public schools were organized, many parochial schools then organized are still in existance. Affiliation in the Catholic Church predominated, with the early settlers, today the descendants belong to every denomination in Texas. The majority of settlers are members of various protestant Churches.

At the present there are the following Czech newspaper published in Texas: The Vestnik, Cechoslovak, Novy Domov, Svoboda, Nasinec, Texasky Rolnik, and the Brethrens Journal.
