V STNiK -- WEST, TEXAS

NADEJE napsal V. M. SKALSKt (Pokratovani) Cesta jim utikala. V noel se usadili pohodine a jako mnozi jinn cestujici, polotili hlavy sve na steny vozu a trochu si Detem to bylo jedno. Ty matky uloElla a ony spaly jako dorn.a v posteli.

Pani Ostre vSak se nechtelo do span.

Co slySela, neznelo naprosto slibne a proto PtemYSlela, co je asi deka.

Rano se ornyli ye voze a snedli nejakou to posuidavku, kterou si ssebou vza li z Yorku. Detein chutnalo znamenite a cot kclyt jim,Stark koupil nee° ,eukrovinek a ovoce.

Viak jen letel. Mijeli krajiny a v'Sude osarnele budovy.

"To jsou fanny," upozornoval Start', "v techto koneinach se hojne pestuje do bytka mlekafakeho a proto vidite ty vysoke staje."

Videli sady, videli louky, ale to nebyly louky evronske.

"Tady se seka tak zv. prerijni seno, divoke, jen na polich seji nee° travin," fekl Stark.

Jeli kolem mesteeek a jelikot to byl rychlovlak, nestaveli ykude. a to videli vystehOvalci, jak jsou ulice rovne, jak dornovy jsou cifevene a podivne stavby. Nemohli se vynadiviti, jak ulice iscu pekne. Videli kosteliky, cot zase na,pinilo je udivern: "To u zias niame [loastely daleko vetsi," telda pani Ostra. "'Wok v Chica,gu je take uvidite. Na,S" kostel (poprve iekl nas a priznal se k nemu) jest velik' a vysokY." A zase jell a spatrili dervenou budovu, jako Sltatulku stavenou.

"To jest gloola," poudoval StarY. "Jeje, to vase bkola jest jinak stavena," vyktikla divka.

"Ano„ me,'S pravdu, tady jsou akoly jinak stavene a take se jinak udi, jak se brzo presveddig."

A zase viak se final jako divY kolem potoka, jent se notil do, listnateho lesa a v nem se Aral ku predu dale. Jeli kolem jezera.

"Jeje", zvolal hoch, "tady maji rybnik, podivejte se tatinku."

"To neni rybnik, jako jest v Cechach," fekl Stark, "to jest jakesi jezero, z neha jen nekdy vocla odteld. Ta voda se neda vypustiti, leda hlubokkmi kanaly.

V techto jezerech jest hojnost ryfb."

Jeli dale a prOjeli leaem, v nemt bylo hojne ohorelSich patezil.

"To jest les, kterl byl zapalen a vyho-

Ve . stfedu, dne 14. zaii 1960 fel — ty male stuomky jsou podrOst novs', ty ohotele pakezy jsou od starYch stromt. Tady nemame hajne jako v Oechach, vyjma velikYch lesii narodnich a proto jest tally hojnost WM, zalotenkch neopatrnosti vyletniku, kteri nechaji horeti °hen a odejdou, nebo i rozkopnou oharky do travy. Tady se vice drivi znidi neopatrnosti a lesnimi pota Ty, net se ho spali a upotrebi. na potteby."

Prijeli k jezeru.

"Je, je," volal hoch, "podivejte se tarn jest more. Cot jest tak daleko?"

"Neni, neni hochu, to jest jezero a budem je dosti dlouho videti. Vbak at prijedeS do Chicaga, uvidi g take jezero, protote Chicago stoji u jezera."

Bylo videti plachetniky, bylo videti do pravni lodi jak osobni, tak i pro zboti.

OvLem, byly menSi, net na pravem melt "I tady se stave east° natesti alod' se potopi, nebot' jezero se dovede velice rozbouriti," vysvetloval Stars'.

"Co bychom si bez vas poeali," kekla pani Ostia "Sam Pan Bilh poslal vas, abyste se nas ujal."

"A abych se yam priznal," rekl Stall% "Mate pravdu: Sam Bah iidil moje kroky, abych se vratil."

"Cote?" vyrazila, pani Ostra. "Vy nejste katolik?"

"Vite, mild pani," kekl StarSr, "jsem jako mnoho natleh lidi. Zylitnel jsem a nebYti vas, snad bych se byl ani neprobudil — ale vase modlitba na Jodi nine probudila —to budou na gi koukat, as mne uvidi v kostele. No, ale jest to dobre, budu zase tak, jako jsnte byli se tenon, uprimnYmi katoliky."

"A tady v Amrice musite si platiti kostely?" ptal se OstrY. "Ano," rekl Star*. "Musime si je postaviti, musime si je vytirtovati a platiti si kneze."

"To mate asi velke platy?" zvedave se ptal OstrY. "To neni tak zle, kdyt alovek chce," vykladal. StarY. "Zkratka .si udela, rozpoeet a tech nekolik centii na kostel ani nepozna. Ale, Min tady se vlada neplete do naSich zaletitosti, nestara se a nepotvrzuje vam kneze. A co jest hlavniho majetek jest nas a ve mnohYch statech se neplati na tadnY osadni majetek clan& Kdyby to bylo ye vlasti, bylo by lepe -- ale tarn napped vlado sebrala majetek a zarueila se, 2e bude platiti vklohy cirkve. Timto zavazkem spojila slat s cirkvi. Nyni by rnusila vratit v ge co vza la. To se ji nechce a prat° vydriuje kneze. Ale jest to pro kneze zle, ktlyi takovy. vAelijak* protivnik cirkve ma o nem souditi, jestli se hodi na misto nebo ne, co takovY tomu rozumi od toho jest

"To mate pravdu," kekla pani Ostra.

"Take si myslim, ze kdy2 elovek chce, snadno na ten kostel pkiplati jen kdyi chce. Kolikrate rozhazi velike penize pro nic a za nic. Kdo, ptispeje ke cti a slave Boti, nikdy nezchudnul. To vim jit se stare vlasti."

"Mate pravdu," kekl StarY. "Na ge ro-; diva nikdy neodeptela pomoc, ani nyni, kdy2 jsem zanedbaval kostel. A chvala Bohu, dobte se nam vedlo a vede. M pHjedete do Chicaga, jen si zajdete do kostela sv a tam uvidite na okne mo j e jmeno — a mimo toho jsou i jinde na se dary. Moje ?iota nebotka nikdy mi nedala Nei — "Ne".

"A bylo dobte,' kekl Jenik, jen poslouchal tige. "Kdo ke cti a slave Bali pfis piva, tomu Rah potehnava. LakomY 610 vek, jent by chtel i na takovlch vecech getfiti, nikdy neugetti mnoho."

"Ano pkiteli," fekl Start, "to, jest pray dou a mam zkugenost na mnohYch naBich lidech — nekdy i katolici jsou to, aspori si tak kikaji. Na kostel nedaji, net co musi, ale stale by chteli, aby jejich rodiny byly staveny do poptedi. Vette, ze takovY elovek neni jen tvrdY na takove-veer -- on neda na nic — a nikdy jeho jrneno neetete, to by byl na neco piispel. A pkece, kdyt porovnate jejich jmeni, neni tak velike na to gkudleni lakotu. Vgak to vge uvidite a zkusite sami — jen nezristavejte mimo kostel a jak pfijdete na misto, hlaste se. Do kte reho eisla jedete?"

Jenik mu nodal adresu pfitelovu. Ost rjr ueinil totet.

"Mili pfatele, v2dyt' vy budete tenth' vedle sebe — to bude dobfe, nebot' bu• deme patfiti vgichni do stejneho kostela a budeme se vidati."

Jaka to radost napinila pant Ostrou, nebot' chapala, ze by mut snadno mohl zablouditi do gpatne spoleenosti — rad si nejakou to sklenku vypil a tfeba by se na 'come naueil piti.

"To jest znamenite, pane Stall," fekl Jenik, "to mne nesmirne tat, jen jestli mtj pfitel jest ku kostelu."

"Ale ano", radostne tekl Start, "jak by nebyl, v2dyt' jest to milj vzdalenejgi pfitel," netekl, ze jest to zet' — aby zbyteene nepopla gil Jenika.

"Bude jiste rad, at vas uvidi, jest to spokadanY elovek."

"A cot ten nraj znamY?" ptal se OstrY a pani Ostra napjala sluch.

"Ten?" told s Usmevern Stall. "Ten?

V2dyt' jest vyborem na geho kostela, tedy do kostela chodi. Tot' mate skuteene gtesti, hned na poeatek. Pteji vain je ze srdce, nebot' se mi libite a jsem jist, se budeme vidati. Snad i praci yam budu moci dostati."

Najednou se obratil k Jenikovi: "Co vy, pane DobrY znate mimo zemedelstvi?"

Jenik byl v nesnazich ,ale kone6ne od povedel: "ZabYval jsem se v prazdnYch chvilich tak troche truhlatinou — tot' vite jen tak pro domacnost."

"Tot' jest vYteene," keld Start. "Tady se yam to hocli a budete v torn dobke. A vy, pane OstrY?" fekl obraceje se k OstrYmu. Ten vahal.

"No jen povez," nutila jej tena.

Ale on nude.

"Musim to tedy fici sama, on se stydi. Mt:1j mut jest dovednYm. zarneenikem a proto asi narn to sedla,o'eni neehtelo jiti."

OstrY ani nemuld.

"No kdy2 to jest takove, a. vy snadno najdete praci v tovarne snail budu i yam moci pomoci. Ovgem pro poeatek se musite spokojiti s praci katdou — tot' vi to ,jest to v Americo a tady musi se delati takova prace, j aka se naskytne, net se okoulate a pkipadne onglick,y aspon trachu naueite. Budu yam hledeti pomod."

"Jit ptedem vam srdeene dekujeme," tekl Jenik. "Pan Brih, yam zaplat', mam starost s krku."

"I ja", pkisvedeil Ostxy.. "Budu delati vge, jen kdyz bude co. Vgak se to da Pan Bah zlepgi."

Jit veseleji hledeli vstfic tome, jak kekl Start, zaeouzenemu Chicagu.

Netrvalo dlouho a zatinaly se ukazovati osazene osady ye vetgrin mnotstvi, ba zdalo se, 2e ani nejsou oddeleny.

Byla to nejprve jednotliva mesteeka, kte ra jsou kolem Chicaga blizko sebe, jest temet tetko k rozeznani, kde zaeinaji jejich hranice a kde konei. Bylo videti jit silnice cementovane eernut se Jenik i ()sty velice divili.

"Tohle by tak melo Dahl v techach," teld Jenik.

"Inu, jest to Amerika," povzdychl Ostrt. "U nas by to stab eels jmeni."

"Vgak ono tady take," odpovedel stars, "a neni to jen cena kterou zaplati elovek za auto, ale jest to jeho yydriovani, co stoji vlastne nejvice."

"Tamhle jede automobil," zvolal both, ukazuje ven na silnici.

Skuteene se tam pohyboval automobil, oteykenY, bile natfenY, neco poddyneho.

Deti mohly se udiviti, nebot' pied tirn nikdy nevidely raz bez koni.

"Budete jich vidati dosti," i•ekl Stary, "jen co nebudeme v Chicagu."

"Tamhle takY jeden, eernY," zvolala divka.

"Je, je," zvolala pani Ostra. "Jak znohou miti bile pradlo, kdy2 vlaky je eels zaeudi.?"

"Jak jen rnohou v torn hiomoze titi?" divil se OstrY. "Tomu take zvyknete," odpovedel Sta rY, `lent az tady budete tYden. Ani yam na mysl neptipadne, to jest hlomoz lem vas a kdybyste pak pfi gli na venek, bude se yam po torn ruchu stYskati."

"Nevim, nevim," kekl Jenik, "jestli mne by se stYskalo. V2dyt' to musi bYti hrozne pro u gi. Co2 neni tady ka2dY hlu chy?"

"Neni, neni, ptiteli," feld Start, "zvykli tomu a libi se flirt tento ru gnY iivet. Jen kdy2 maji praci a maji vYdelek."

I poulicni drahu, pozorovali ji s teasti, kdyz najednou nedaleko z Mice do ulice pfejela zvYSena jako

"Co to bylo?" ptala se divka, kdegto ho oh adivem zapomnel zavkit asta,.

"To jest zykg ena poulieni draha," vykladal Stark. "Po te budete jezdivati do mesta z na geho okoli. Ovgem budete mod. pouZiti take poulieni drahy, nebot' jich budete miti dosti ve vagem ,okoli." :V tom jig vlak vjigdel do nadragi.

Velika klenba asttedniho nadra gi pojala v sobe jejich vlak. Zasktipala kola, vlak jegte popojel a jig stali. Se vgech ' stran je v sebe pojal hluk a ktik.

•Stark, jako zkugenk elovek, nejprve' je napomenul, aby si sebrali vgechna za•azadla. Poslechli.

"Já jsem ztratil eepici," zahokekoval hoch.

"Ne, tu ma,m," kekl hoch, hledaje pod sedadlem.

Najednou odhrnuv papir, nagel ji na sdadle.

"Ano, marne, 'name," ozvaly; se hlasy vgech.

Tam u vlaku stali dva rnladi lide. Jeden z nich, spattiv Starkho, skoeil k nemu vitaje jej: 4"yitame vas z pouti do vlasti. Zaplat' Bflh, e jste zdrav ,dojel."

Byl to set' Starkho, Josef Klieka.

"Meli, meli," odpovidal ostkchave Jenlk. "Pan Stark se o /las staral jako peliv otec."

"NO tak tady nestajme a pojedeme k nam. Mame tady kary," tekl Klieka.

A nea se Jenik nadal, seal ji g v automobilu. vedle Starkho.

V druhem usedla rodina Ostirkch a jelo se — do Plzne ne v gak ye vlasti, ale v Chicagu.

Na azkostlivk dotaz obojich pfichogich ohledne zavazadel jim bylo sdeleno, ge si pro no zajedou pozdeji.

Ptijeli ag do tunelu pod fekou. Tam videly deti, jako voda se tlaei yen, "Co to jest, ge tady na ulici teee voda?" ptala se divka.

"To neni na ulici, tady jedeme pod vodou, nad nami jest kanal, kde jezdi lodi. To uvidite pozdeji," dostaly vkklad.

Vyhoupli se v autech zase na aroven ulice a zase jim nastal tk g ruch. Runeene dojeli na ktigovatku, kde se musili rozdeliti.

"Pkijd'te na besedu," volal Stark. — "Vgichni. Horkk, vezmi je k nam, jak se poohlednokr a pak si promluvime, co by se dalo pro ne delati."

"Pkijdeme," odpovedel Horkk a jig zmi zelo auto v sousedni ulici.

Klieka projel jegto ulicemi a ji g bylo videti, ge se nalezaji v eeskem okoli. Bylo videti Ceske napisy, bylo videti jig oblieeje, jichg tahy prozrazovaly slovanskk typ. Vjeli do pane Shake ulice, kde pied domy bylo videti Malinke sice, ale hezky upravene travnieky s keti a za oknyi bylo mono videti i kvetiny.

"Tady jiste eeskk givel ptevlada," tekl Jenik, "protoge si tolik hiedi kvetin."

"Ano, tady jest desk ivel doma," ptitakal Stark.

A jig auto zahkbalo do vjezdu jednoho z peknkch domka. Domek jako kaplieka eistk, pekne upravenk, dosti rozsahlk.

"Ale to jest kra.snk domek," s adivem zvolal Jenik.

V tom jig vybehla z domku vesela div ka, ktera skokem se b1iila k autu.

"Poekej ty divoka," hrozil Stark. "Dej pozor at' nepadneg pod karu."

"Hi, hi, hi, hi, to se nebojte dedeeku," volala se smichem asi tak 15 leta divka.

"Ja, dam pozor,. Pekne se \ , itame, pane se vitame."

Ostkchave podala divka ruku Jenikovi, s jeng na ni pohledl udivenkm zrakem vida, ge to neni dite, ale ji g kvetouci diveina. Potom padal pani Kliekove ruku, omlouvaje se, ge bude nejakou chvili na pfekagku.

Pani Kliekova s freasti hledela na tvat mlademu mugi a mimodek se ohledla na svoji dcerugku. Nee° ji proletlo mozkern.

Jenik ji hledel ptimo do oei ale piece mu ugel ten letmk pohled.

Komu neugel, byl Stark a Klieka. A oba pochopili.

Vegli do domu a tam Jenik, jemug byl vykazan pokojik, umyl si oblieej, opragil si odev, ueesal se a otevi'el kuffik. Mel v nem pkipraveny darky pro celou rodinu, ale jelikog podital, ge jest vetgi mel jich vice.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK George Trojacek, and Ve nstnik.'s Editor Hosek, The Past Presidents of Lodge No. Lodge 92 Holds big 92 are then. summoned. They are: Bro. Fr. Paprskar, Bro. Joe Holy, Bro. Rud. Fiftieth Anniversary Koci, Bro. Robert Ruzicka, Bro. J. R. Bartek and Bro. Joe Juran.

Celebration With the seating arrangement comLodge Svaz Cechoslovanu No. 92 of Fort Worth, like other lodges who observed their 50 year founding this year, held its Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration Suhday, September 4, in their spacious and beautiful Hall on Roberts Cut-off in Fort Worth, Texas, with a large attendance of members, guests and visiting brethren from surrounding towns Ond lodges.

The Hall was spotlessly set with long tables covered with white tablecloths, the stage held numerous Floral Tributes to the occasion from well wishers, in the golden Motif, the Golden Anniversary 'motif, and a huge four-tiered white ,cake trimmed in yellow roses reposed on a separate table before the stage for everyone to admire, later to be cut and *rvect to those present.

The kitchen was a bee hive of activity, and busy the good sisters were, <for with every coming in of a member rune huge roasters full of wonderful Zlood and pastry for the kitchen to en"rich the Board. The sisters had to cut gall of the cakes, poppy seed babovky, cakes of every hue and description, as `Veil place on platters salads, cookies, kolaches, etc. for the noon meal. v At the stroke of twelve, a long, long ,line of hungry folks helped unburden those long tables of the' delicious Czech -cooking.

At one o'clock, the teen-agers from Lodge 92's Youth Club were still registering arriving guests, friends, guests and measbers, so it was right up to 2 „o'clock before everything was cleared or the afternoon Youth program and celebration.

Lodge 92's President, brother Carl Zich, rapped for order, to welcome ev,eryone and bid them to make themselves comfortable for the afternoon ceremonies and to introduce our beloved .Supreme Lodge President, Brother Ed.

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." ward L. Marek, and Brother Raymond.

Urbanovsky, Supreme Lodge Financial Secretary, who came with him to this celebration — and their charming ladies.

Bro. Marek in a brief Czech speech gave homage to those who have left our ranks in this lodge for the great beyond, extending best wishes for another 50 years of progressive and fraternal work.

Brother Zich then proceeded to call and introduce the Three Living Charter Members of this lodge and to seat them at the Speaker's table at the head of those assembled.

Amid enthusiastic applause, tiny, white-haired Sister Anna Paprskar, takes a bow, and received a large corsage of yellow carnations, then seated.

Then Brother Joe Becan takes his bow and received a yellow carnation bouttonnaire and is seated next to Sister Paprskar, then, Brother Rudolf Koci, Sr. is recognized, receiving a yellow carnation bouttonniere and is seated at the head table, with the Supreme Lodge Officers Bros. Marek and Urbanovsky and the guest speaker, The Honorable congressman of the United States, Mr. Jim Wright. District Three Director, Bro. Robert Cervenka is called to take his place at the Speaker's table, as is District Three Organizer, Bro. Arnold Vrla, the President of District Three, Bro.

plete, the Pledge to the Flag, was led by Teen-ager Johnny Skrasek, Jr. followed by the singing of the "Star Spangled.

Banner" by lovely Teenager, Sister Gloria Nizer, while the 'Czech "Kde Domov Muj," (National Anthem) was sung by Lodge 92's beautiful matron, Sister Lydia Alholm and Sister Gloria Nizer.

In remembering the Deceased Charter Members, as each name was read, a white carnation was placed in a vase by 92's lovely teen age lass, (whose name we didn't catch), in loving memory.

They are: Brother Frank Zacek, Brother Vancil Cillacek, Brother Joseph Juran Sr., Brother Vaclav Becan and Sister Anna Becan.

"Taps" were played for our World War Il heroes who gave their lives for this country, namely: Brother Louis Turbak and Brother Anthony Tirk.

A minute's standing silent prayer was dedicated in memory of all our deceased membership. Brother president Zich, then proceeded with his official welcoming address. "Officers of the Supreme Lodge, Honorable members, brothers and sisters, visitors and friends.

We are here to celebrate the Golden Anniversary of our lodge, Svaz Cechoslovanu No. 92 in Fort Worth and to honor our Charter Members and our 50-year members who are here with us today. I am greatly honored, as president of this Lodge, to have the pleasure of presiding over this celebration.. It is a great pleasure to celebrate an occasion such as this, as 'everyone always seems to enjoy something that our forefathers began in order to better them.selves and the future generations. It would be nice if more of our founders could be here with us today in order that they could see what has been accomplished by the lodge in the last fifty years. All of us in the lodge thank all of the members for the time and effort

Wednesday, September 14, 1960 th'ey have put into the work of the Lodge throughout the years.

It is a, pleasure to see so many of our fellow members from near and far, who have come to help us celebrate our 50th Anniversary. We are honored to have with us today our Supreme Lodge officers, their wives and the officers of the various lodges and other lodges."

Brother Zich then gave recognition to the Ladies Circle of Lodge 92, Saying: "We have here in our lodge a Ladies Circle, who has helped the lodge great ly since its organization. One of the nicest things they have done is having presented us with these beautiful flags we have here today. The lodge is grateful to them for the things they have done in order to help better the lodge.

The present officers of the Ladies Circle are: President, Sister Mary Paprskar; Vice-President, Sister Victor Murphy; Secretary, Sister Helen Kubala; Treasurer, Sister Anna Langer; Reporter, Sister Tillie Gillis. Let's give them a hand of applause for the work they have done," invites Bro. Zich to the gathering.

"We also have here in our Lodge," continued President Zich, "a Youth Club of which we are very proud. Our present Youth Directors are Bro. and Sis. Joe Paprskar and Bro. and Sis. Joe Krivanek. I would like for the above mentioned youth leaders to rise in order that they can be recognized. (Applause).

Thank you for the great job and much success to you all in the future.

Now, I would like to introduce Bro. Jimmy Paprskar, who will be the Master of Ceremonies for the Youth Program."

Concluded Brother Zich as he handed the microphone to the Teen-Age Master of Ceremonies. Handsome young Jimmy then proceeded to announce the numbers of the Youth Program. Because he didn't talk into the "mike" at times, names of the participants were not heard, so Vestnik's Editor has requested to write into the Vestnik this phase of the program, please.

Suffice to sayâ&#x20AC;˘ that the program was fast moving, the talent all good, some exceptionally good, and that the Czech language as presented in the Czech numbers still correctly pronounced by these youngsters, which for a city as large as Fort Worth is something to "write home about". The youthful songsters stirred the hearts of everyone present with their presentation of the beloved Czech songs. The program did not drag, the numbers were all well received by the audience.

President Carl Zich thanked the Youth of Lodge 92 at the conclusion of their program for the wonderful presentation of their talents.

In behalf of the Supreme Lodge here this afternoon, may I say "Thank you" for for every kind word, your appreciation, your hospitality and may God bless you, one and all!"

President Carl Zich: "Thank you, Bro. Marek, for the wonderful speech you delivered to us here today. We all enjoyed it very much, and we are always glad to have you visit our lodge."

-Now," said Brother Zich, "I would like to introduce our brother, John Murphy, Chairman of our Steering Committee, who will introduce our next guest speaker."

Briefly Br. Murphy outlined the achievements of Congressman Wright; as a man of outstanding record in Congress" etc., the Honorable Congressman, Mr. Jim Wright.

In esence Congressman Wright acknowledges the Czech as a hardy working, thrifty, honest, craftsman whose skill • in the various professions, traditions, heritage, and cultural background has enriched. America. ''To the members of this fraternal society, I would like to say how grateful all of us are in this country for what you have brought to us, for the strength, the industry, the 'honor and the integrity that you have woven into the American evolution_ The Czechs, Germans, Italians, Irish, French, EngliSh and Many, many athers make up our country, each bringing something to enrich the American heritage. We all too often take them very much for granted, we underestimate our possibilities, like those of us who take this country for granted; their heritage and enriching

VESTNtE ® WEST, TIESAS cultures. We are a mixture from all races of people of Europe! The Czechs who came here and others; it wasn't that we have been better, because we are everybody, and that is what we believe America is; America is something as long as it stands for each of us; America is something as long as it stands for all of us; all of the people; regardless of origin.

Those of you who have come from this wonderful land (Czechoslovakia) now beset by so much dictatorship, this country which nurtures in its bosom the love of freedom; freedom which still burns in spite of the terrorism, suppression, this spirit which no boot can quell this burning desire, without it the world is not worth fighting for! and against which the Soviets would start a war; because these nations that have been taken over against their wills still harbor in their hearts this Spirit of Freedom. So long as these fires still burn, so long as we continue to recognize this in our dealings -- this is the things we must never forget, that the captive nations were captive against their will. We must never forget this! This I think should be in the cornerstone of the American policy. Our greatest strength lies in the dealings of the people who have sincere expression to overthrow oppression when they have the opportunity; never resting until they have the opportunity to be blessed with Freedom again."

Congressman Wright was rewarded with enthusiastic applause from the whole house. The rafters rang with thunderous ovation. (This is not Congressman Wright's complete speech as the "steno" left her notes to become part of the cheering section who intermittently interrupted his wonderful and inspiring talk about the Czechs).

Lodge 921's president, Brother Zich then proceeded to give us a brief history of how this lodge emerged, who its early leaders were at that time etc.

Never think for one moment that these reports are just so many "dry facts," for there is always someone in the listening audience to whom these reports are very dear. As in this instance, we met three charming matrons pouring over the writtenup sketch of Bro. Zich's — they proved to be the daughters of the late Brother J. W . Cihacek, who in 1910 was Lodge 92's first Financial Secretary.

They were overwhelmed to learn of their Daddy's participation in the early struggles of this lodge.

liVednealayi September 14,1960 The Organization and Alistory of the SPJST Lodge Svaz Ceehoslovanu No 92, Fort Worth, Texas Brother Prank Paprskar of Lodge Cechoslovanu No. 40, suggested to Bohumil Carboch and Joe Juran Sr. that they organize a SPJST Lodge. Then, these three men invited several citizens to meet att Mr. John Krivanek's home.

Fifteen people met and the By-Laws of the SPJST were discussed. Ten agreed to become members, which is the; required number in the By-Laws to organize a Lodge. Brother Papr.skar prepared the papers, also the doctor's statements, and they were filled out the following Sunday. Then Brother Paprskar made arrangements with the doctor for examinations. When all the papers were ready, they were sent to headquarters, and the reply came stating the members were accepted, and the lodge was organized.

On September 4, 1910, these ten members met at the home of Brother Papr-7 skar. Also thirtteen members from Lodge No. 84 in Dallas led thes new memof Svaz Cechoslovanu No , 92 into unity.

The following were elected to serve as officers: President, Bro. Joe Juran, Sr.; VicePresident, Bro. Bohumil Carboch; Secretary, Bro. Rudolph Koci, Sr.; Bookkeeper, Bro. J. W. Cihacek; Treasurer, Bro. Vancil Becan; Leader, Bro. Joseph Becan; Inner Guard, Bro. Frank Zacek; Outter Guard, Bro. Arnold Valka.

Tire Charter Members were: Joe Juran Sr.; Bohumil Carboch; Rudolph Koci Sr.; J. W Cihacek; Vancil Becan; Joseph Becan; Frank Zacek; Arnold Valka; Anna Becan and Anna Paprskar.

The first meeting was held on the 11th of September, 1910, and following, this, the meetings were held the second Sunday of each, month at the homes of members.

Brother Joe Juran, Sr., served as president of the lodge from it's origination, which took place September 4, 1910 until January 1915, which was 4 years and 4 months later. Brother Rudolph Koci, Sr, was elected president in 1915 and served until 1917.

The entertainment were held by the Lodge at various places in Fort Worth, including the Sons of Herman Hall , at 20th and North Main Streets, before the lodge built its own hall.

In a meeting held during the sixth year, Bro. Mat. Tikaisky made a motion that donations be asked in order to help finance thei building of the Lodge Hall.

Bro. Rudolph Koel, Sr., seconded the motion. On November 14, 1916, Brother Getting back to the report, which Krutow made a motion to buy land on Brother Zich so kindly lent us for pub- which to build the Hall . The motion was lication: accepted by the majority.

"If any names were omitted from this hi Lou," Brother Zich continued, "it is diie to the fact that their names are not, :in the records and we are truly Sorry. If this should have occured, it was not our intention.

In. November 1957, the Youth Club was . organized. The first Youth Director :.for the Youth Club was Sister Flora Koci. Later Sister Mary Hubenak was her co-Director. The next Youth Directore:: were Brother and Sister Joe B. ,Paprskar and brother and sister Joe Krivanek. The first officers of the Youth •. Club were: President, Joe Paul Hubenak; Vice-.president, Billy Koci; Secretary, Brenda Beth Krivanek; Treasurer, Ka,thryne Faye Hubenak. The Youth Club has done much for the Mother Lodge.

Our Youth Club provides much of the entertainment at various local lodge activities.

The Ladies Circle was organized in November of 1958. The first officers were:, :President, Sister Mary Hubenak; Viee-President, Sister Helen Kubala; Secretary, Sister Mary Paprskar; Treasurer, - Sister Anna Langer; Hospitality, Sister Albina Bunker and Sister Donna -1-lubena,k, and Publicity, Sister Tillie • Thee present officers are: President, Sister eMary Paprskar, Vice-President, 'Sister Victor Murphy; Secretary, Sister Helen :- 'Kubala; Treasurer, Sister Anna 'Langer; Hospitality, Sister Albina Bunk*14 and Sister Cona Hubenak, and Publicity, Sister Tillie Gills. The ladies have sponsored suppers; have been in charge of the kitchen at the local lodge dances, and have raised enough money to buy 'an electric cooker for the kitchen, new flags for the Hall, and various other things too numerous to mention.

Discussion began in late 1959 to change the name of the Hall from Bohemian Club back to the original nome "National Hall." In February of 1960, a motion was made to make the change, and in July, 1960 the name "National Ilan" was printed on the front of the 'building. Many members are pleased to -sec the name changed.

We are grateful to everyone who helped the Lodge from its inception to the: great success which it is today.

'II-Jere was much work that had to be dons hi the building of the Lodge Hall, such as tearing down the first hall, theving the lumber to the new location 'en . Roberts. Cirt-off, then "out in the country" digging up and replacing of trees, and leveling of the lama for the

new spacious Hall. We are also grateful to the Ladies for preparing the food all the while the men did this manual work.

In behalf of Lodge Sva7 Cethoslovanu No. 92, we wish to (express our thanks to all of those who donated their service in order that this great work could be accomplished . Many of these members are now deceased, but they will always be held in loving memory.

We want to thank the Supreme Lodge, as well as the various lodges and individual members who helped us financially in the building of this fine Lodge Hall." concluded President Zich.

"Now, continued Bro. Zich, I would like for Brother Urbanovsky to come forward and present the Charter Member Pins and the Fifty-Year Pins to the menthes Whose names will be called.

Sister Anna Paprskar was the first called. She received the Charter Member Pin as well as the fifty year pin; followed by Brother Joseph Becan who also received the Charter Member Pin and the Fifty Year Pin; and then Brother Rudolph Koci Sr., who likewise received the Charter Member Pin and the Fifty Year Pin. Then, the members eligible for the Fifty-Year Pin were called up front.

They were: Sister Fiances Koppa, Bro. J. J. Koppa, Bro. Frank Paprskar, Bro. Frank Volf, Sister Frances Hla ysa„ Bro. Peter Sebek and Bra. J. R. Bartek. Some of the above members were not present and relatives were entrusted with delivering these pins to the above called members.

Then these members were invited to say a few words into the microphone.

Sister Anna Paprskar speaking in Czech stated: "I thank Lodge 92 for the honor given me and I am glad that I am living to see this moment."

Brother Joseph Becan came next. He was so moved that his words could not be heard at all, so his message did not reached the ears of those assembled.

Brother Rudolph Koci, Sr, speaking in English: "During the 50 years in this Lodge I have done much hard work; spent many nights here working until 2:00 a.m., neglected my own family, but my heart was with this Lodge, it was a duty of love. I thank you very much for the honors accorded me."

Brother Frank Paprskar declined to speak.

Brother J. R Bartek takes a bow of recognition for this total of 20 years of presidency, saying: "Sisters and brothers and friends of our Lodge, I sincerely thank you and am so Very glad that so many of you came. I wish to thank those who participated so beautifully in the. Program; and Supreme Lodge Of-

ficers, Congressman, Wright, who knows more about Czechoslovakia and its people than many Czechs know themselves; and that he knows of the suppression existing in Czechoslovakia, I thank him for explaining all of this to the gathering. Further, I would like to say that our Czech Language has nut succumbed.

The credit goes to our brothers and sisters, such as the Kuban's, where some of our third and even fourth generations still speak in Czech.

Brother Bartek urged everyone present who could speak Czech to perpetuate this Speaking of Czech amongst our grandchildren where possible. Brother Bartek, also admonishes us to remember our SPJ.ST Rest Home with contributions and donations.

"Everyone knows the hardships our pioneer members had in building this building" said Brother Bartek, "We have something we can be proud of and I am thankful and grateful to those pioneers as well as the late membership who worked so hard."

Brother Robert Ruzicka spoke next: "It has been a pleasure to serve you as president in 1921 and I want to thank the Supreme Lodge President, Brother Edward• L. Marek for his wonderful talk; Congressman Mr. Wright for his wonderful speech. I have enjoyed being with you."

Brother Joe Juran, Jr., declines to talk.

Brother President Carl Zich then requested that as Lodges were recognized that all members representing said respective lodges, please rise to take a bow. Starting with Fort Worth's sister Lodge 154, Lodge 84 of Dallas followed, then Jaro 130, Dallas; Seaton 47; Ennis 25, Tioga 6; West 54, West 36; Temple 24, and. Temple 87.

The Suprme Lodge Financial Secretary, Brother Raymond Urbanovsky spoke next.

"I am not going to take up much time because Brother Zich told me that the program Should last two hours and it is over two hours now. I thank the Lodge for the invitation; we are having a wonderful time. I know' this lodge has some good officers, progressive officers. During the first 25 years of our existence they had $200,00.00 insurance in force.

Today with an 800 active membership, they have $1,520,000 in force. I think that with this kind of progress we shall continue to go forward. Thank you for your hospitality, we shall go home with kindest thoughts of this day. I wish you every success and hope to be here with you for many years to conic. God bless you all!"

District Three Director, Robert . Cer\venka spoke next: "I want to congratulate the Youth leaders for their wonder-

Wednesday, September 14, 1900 ful program. Speaking in. Czech h'e, said: We can be proud that some of these youngsters still speak the true Czech. I Wish you every success."

District Three Organizer, Brother Arnold Vrla spoke next: "When we were asked to come up and say a few words, brother Zich allocated each one of us only one minute. 'First of all, I was in touch with our President of our Lodge Jaro 130, who asked me to extend 'to you, sincere congratulations on your Anniversary and continued success in the future. As I look back on the pro:gram as it was presented, I cannot but say that nothing but progress has been in Lodge 92. They started with 10 mem = -bers;thivong aelst Convention in Sian Antonio was 458 Votes and they have over 840 active certificates in the lodge. As for the future, as you saw the youth on the sta ge a while ago, you cannot but grow, grow, grow_ I thank you for this opportunity to say a few words and may God bless you."

District Three President, Brother Geo. Trojacek said: "It is indeed a pleasure to be here today, to say a few words.

From District Three, I bring you best wishes for continued growth. I must say, our District is proud of you! I think you are doing a wonderful job and may God bless you all."

Brother Hosek, Vestnik's editor spoke next: I am at a certain disadvantage because I am called to say a few words at the end of the speeches and there is not much left for me to say without being a "coppy cat", however, I promise you that in the next week's issue of the Vestnik you will have a good article about this celebration and your conduct. I especially appreciate Congressman Wright's speech for he said some mighty nice things about us CzechAmericans, something that should also come sometimes from some of our own Czech people; being proud of our ancestry; what our forefathers fought and died for. I thank him for all his encouraging bulletins that he sends me.

Brothers and sisters, we should be proud of such friends and should be loyal to them. That is something which will recognize our people and we should stand firmly behind our friends; our officers of our Supreme Lodge, our Lodge officers, for if we want to teach "fraternalism" we have to practice it ourselves.

Remember, if we live up to what we preach to others, if we do this, we live up to our aims. When we say that we are benevolent, brotherly and humanitarian, we have to live up to this. Thank you for your friendliness, for your kindness shown, for the wonderful program and we are going home to tell others who

were not present what a wonderful time they really missed. Thanks to the Kitchen Corps who prepared such a fine. meal.

May God bless you, one and all!"

Brother Zich then recognized the sister organization officers froh SVPS who were present, and acknowledged the work of the Steering Committee who handled the program this afternoon.

Brother Zich, announces that inadvertently , Brother and Sister Prell, were left out of the 50th Anniversary Brochure which was printed for this occasion, saying that we regret overlooking them as we value them highly in our midst In closing, Brother Zich said: "It is a pleasure to see so many of our people working together to keep alive our fraternal brotherhood and also to see our younger generation active in our Youth Clubs. We are proud of them and hope that they will continue the progress that has so far been accomplished in our SPJST. In behalf of our Lodge, I want to thank our Supreme Lodge officers district officers, our editor, and all out of town visitors who have come to help us celebrate our 50th Anniversary, as we are grateful for the support you have given us. We also want to thank everyone who took ads in our Souvenir Prog ram Brochure and the Youth Club for the very nice program and our Editor for all the publicity. We thank the Steering Committee who made all the arrangements for our celebration and the Trustees, especially for having fixed our kitchen. We also thank the donors of flowers, donations, and congratulations in the form of letters and telegrams. Last, but not least, we wish to thank all the ladies who prepared and served the food in the kitchen. They all worked very hard in preparing the delicious meal we had for dinner, and the supper which will be served to you before our dance tonight. I hope that you all will stay and enjoy the supper with us and stay for the dance for Which the Ed. Faraizl orchestra will play.

This concludes our program for this afternoon. We hope all of you enjoy it and hope that you will come and visit us' again.

We will now serve our Anniversary cake which will be cut by the "First Lady of the Lodge" Sister Christine Zich, and assisted by our Teen-agers. Charter Members and the Fifty-year members will be served first. We then invite everyone to come and have a slice of our Birthday Cake," concluded Brother Zich.

many people really had been there that afternoon_ It was a pleasure to make the acquaintance of Brother Peavy from Oklahoma City. We have often seen his wife, Mary, at our outstanding celebrations but not her spouse. It was nice you could make it this time, Brother Peavy, please do come again! Those folks were the farthest from home at this celebration, we believe. It was a pleasure to see all my old friends from Ennis, Dallas and Grapevine.

Some of the out-of-town visitors took their reluctant leave. Most, however stayed for an evening of fun, for this was the Lobor Day weekend and tomorrow one could sleep late, so tonight was made for fun. For your Editor and spouse, however, Monday was work day so that you could get the Vestnik "on schedule" so it was Home Sweet Home for us. We relived our afternoon with you all the way home.

The Fraternal Insurance System

The men and women who pioneered our fraternal system were builders. They were originators. They welded together organizations which made people of this country life insurance conscious, by offering a new conception of how to go about providing for loved ones . Our competitors then came along and capitalized on the "missionary work" of our fraternal members and leaders. We placed the first life insurance policy in the homes of millions of our citizens, our competitors sold them what their needS required. If we had measured up to all of our responsibilities we would be reporting on the amazing achievements-of our local or subordinate lodge instead of coming together to discuss its chronic ailments. It would seem that we, who have been entrusted with the responsibility of preserving everything having to db with our fraternal heritage have not been "on the ballâ&#x20AC;˘" It would also seem that we ;Mould make better use of a neglected feaure which has been the "keystone" of our fraternal system since its beginning. Here we have something which our competitors are not able to offer, unless they revamp their entire business structure. We should concentrate on improveing that heritage to. a point Where it will be more acceptable, more attractive' and more effective in The cake was delicious!

clearly distinguishes its and sets us apart from commercial ..;ompanies. Our lodges can be cultivated into sources of mutual benefit and accomplishments, by installing an active program throughout the year which will become an essential part of the monthly meetings.

While there is no overall plan adopted to the particular locations• of our societies, an organized group can establish the special or most attractive pro grams for any society in its parish.

Without group planning and coopera,.-tion little is accomplished, it is our firm conviction that this must be a group effort. Our mission is to decide whether a group shall be organized whose specific . .o.bjective it will be, to study, discuss and analyze local lodge problems, and provide conclusions and solutions will enable us to function with a 6 treainlined lodge that has a modern appeal. Our youth should be called to these consultations for their present day ideas, and their proposals if consistent with the fraternal system encouraged to attract new members to carry out these. plans.

All Czech Lodges and Societies in the State of Texas are cordially invited to participate in the Czech Day Program at the Texas State Fair in Dallas, Texas, whichi will take place Sunday, October 16, 1960 from 10:00 a.m. at 12:30 p.m. in the Woman's Building.

One of the greatest gifts that our Creator has endowed man with is a healthy curiosity. Without that healthy curiosity man would still be existing as a caveman. It is that healthy curiosity, inherited by each succeeding generation, which has brought us from way back there — to her — the present. There is a practical way for making use of this trait , When a member suggests some phase of operation, it should be explored in every detail, and if there is a better way to do it, find it. It was that healthy curiosity, and search for a better way, which was responsible for bringing our local society operation into the present form. It was that same human trait which caused men and women to decide that banding together under the banner of Fraternalism was a better way to provide for the needs of loved ones after the bread winner died, and also a better way to provide the needs of members who were sick or in distress. The seed of the idea for security and benefits was planted by fraternal leaders when they were seeking that better way . They focussed the attention on the widespread need for such assistance The local society or lodge is pretty much the same as a baseball team, Each player has an important part in winning the game, and when the lodge puts forth team effort, the results are shared by all members of the squad.

Plaudits to the diligent editor Bro. Hosek, I realize in a small way how much planning and effort a weekly paper involves, one can well irnagin how much more challenging a special issue would be. Congratulation', , and thank you for so much reading pleasure so far away.

(I truly do •enjoy my paper, both the English and the Czech articles). The Vestnik has journeyed into many foreign lands with me, no wonder I feel it is so dear, even if it usually is months before a copy arrives — no reflection on the staff, the boats simply don't move very rapidly). I wonder just where our Vestnik is sent to? (Just a passing thought).

I read with interest Mr. Vaclav Sijansky's letter in a June issue of the paper.

I am most interested in stories from the old country and hope some day to collect enough authent i c Czech tales, true and otherwise to interest some kindly publisher in my endeavors. Sister Hosek, do you thing enough wonderful Czechs would be interested in telling or writing their stories, or granting me an interview when we return home in 1961?

I should retract the promise I made you regarding my article on Arabia.

Teen Reporter, Deana Vicha ) •4 YOUTH CLUB LODGE 84 IN DALLAS, Dear Members and Friends, -The Teen-Age Club of Lodge 84 regrets to report the resignation of our President, Richard Sykora. Richard, who,,. eqtainly needs no special introdnetion to our membership, has for the past two and two thirds years served in the. , office of President of our Club.

Ho j1:1 ,ti. previously served as Vice-President as well as having served on many and VUl0118 committees. During his years, of active service to our SPJST, Richard had acquired a reputation for being All eloquent speaker and brilliant organizer. Upon his high-school graduation, Richard's future became a great cone in to him. Richard had inquired into many fields of life hoping to find one that he would be especially suited for...A.r.O, after much prayer and careful. consultation, Richard selected the life and ways of a priest for his future.

When we here at 84 learned of Richard's desire to become a, priest, we were happy

V E S TNi K — WEST, TEXAS and sad at the same time. We realized that we would be losing a great figure in our SPJST, but we realized, too, that Richard's calling came from a Greater and Higher source and from One which could not be refuted. Richard will enter the seminary in San Antonio on Sept.

9. He will spend the next eight years in preparation for his being ordained a Diocesan Priest. We know that Richard's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Sykora, are extremely proud of their son for his excellent choice of a state in life. We know that God will reward them very ,generausly for the great sacrifice they have made. Thee teen-agers request that all our members remember Richard daily and say a prayer for his future. We certainly extend to him our very best wishes and hopes for a fruitful and rewarding future. Our pride in Richard and our happiness for him and his dear parents is indescribable.

Richard announced, his official resignation at a special meeting of our TeenAge group held on Friday night, Sept.

2, at the ihiome of our Youth Director, Mrs. Bessie Petr. Richard surrendered his post as President to another fine and capable leader, Joe Ondirusek. Joe has served two consecutive terms as VicePresident, Joe was in his third term as Vice-President. We are very confident that Joe will lead our Club to the great heights expected and will do so in a fine executive manner , We are proud to have Joe Ondrusek follow in the footsteps of Richard Sykora.

At this special meeting two other resignations were accepted. Those of the Correspondence Committee Chairman, Mary Ellen Pekar, and of the Entertainment Committee Chairman, James Janousek.

Awards for outstanding service were presented to Richard Sykora for his fine record in our SPJST and also to James Janausek, who was the very Original and First President of our Club.

James will enter the University of Dallas this fall and will reside in the dorms there. Therefore, he felt it necessary to break his ties with our Club. However, we feel sure that James will never fail to give his experienced advice to those who will enter Club, in the first.

Moving pictures of past activities and snapshots of parties, trips, etc., were shown at this meeting and a delicious "mid-night" supper of Italian spaghetti and meatballs were served. The entire evening was a combination meeting, picture party, and farewell party for Richard Sykora. Also honored was George Nemec, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Nemec, who is a seminarian at the Vincentian Seminary in Missouri. This has

This annual Dinner was again held at Winfrey Point near White Rock Lake and a total of 39 guests were present.

The food and all the expenses were foottd by the team. Had we won our League Championship, we would have been treated to steaks rather than (crow), I mean chicken. This point was stressed very heavily by the manager, his as-

Wednesday, September 14, 1969 sistant and also the team Captain and all the players vowed that we will not come in "second" next year, as everyone would rather have steaks. So plans were made for the next season and, it was agreed' that we will do our best to win another League Championship before we all retire and all enjoy another steak dinner.

The team players awards were presented after the dinner . The first award for the "Best Batting Average" was won

by Wesley Jaska. His batting average was 333 for the season. Joe Jarolik and Raymond Smith were runners-up with an average of .310 and .309 respectively.

You both exemplified true brotherhood and wonderful team spirit which will always be remembered by all of us, your tammates of 1960. We know you both will be the backbone of our team next season. I would like to say to the rest of the players, you too, were most valuable to the team but only one award could be given. I deeply appreciate the effort and 'your cooperation, you displayed this past season.

Our bat boys, Larry Gaiser and Don Jarma were given small plaques with their names and "Bat Boy" enscribed on them. My deepest thanks for all the bats you picked up and the work both contributed to the team, yes, you bat boys are just as important to the team as the players. Then, a Wall Plaque was presented to the team Manager, with the teams year record inscribed on this plaqu.e. This award will always be treasured by me through the years and when I grow old and my memory grows dix,Iner, I can always refresh it by looking at the wonderful plaque.

As if this wasn't enough, all of the players, wives and those attending the dinner surprised the team manager and his wife,PLillie Jarma with, wonderful gifts of a casting rood and reel, fishing lines, net and other accessories for each of us. You just shouldn't have don' it, but since you did, we honestly must admit that we were deeply touched by your generosity and your kindness. We will always treasure our loving gifts and try our best to catch some fish with them. If We are fortunate and catch enough fish, we will treat you to a fish

Bear, cubs are smaller, at birth, in relation to the size of the mother, than any other mammal, except the marsupials. Often, a 500 pound mother will give birth to a 10 or 12 ounce baby, or about 1/1,200 of her weight. Human babies generally weigh 1/20 or so of their mother's weight.

One of the busiest strips of land in Texas today is the five-mile fishing pier at Texas City, according to Bob Boatwright, in an article in the August issue of the Texas Game and Fish Magazine.

A new roadway has been opened to the pier, which is just a two-minute trip from down-town Texas City, between Galveston and Houston, Fishing camps and eating places line the pier and hundreds of persons fish it each day, according to Boatwright.

"Even during the peak of the fishing season the dike offers plenty of casting room for those who choose to bank fish from either side of the five-mile pier," Boatwright says. "Bank fishermen usually pick up nice strings of sand trout, a few speckled trout and loads of gafftop."

He points out that wade fishing also is very popular from various points on the pier . At times more than a hundred fishermen are working waist-deep in the water, filling their stringers with speckled troutA modern 72-room motel is being planned for the base of the dike and a new marina is also to be built along the dike to provide boats, motors and fueling facilities for boat fishermen. ♦ • The 1960 dove hunting season opened at 12 noon, Sept. 1, with doves in North Texas and quail in South Texas, as the first legal game, according to Capt. E. M. Sprott, director of law enforcement of the Game and Fish Commission.

Dove shooting will be from 12 noon to sunset.
