FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Third District Getting Something Out 1961 STARTER Of Life JANUARY PROGRESS REPORT Americans are the richest people on the face of the earth. In luxuries and labor-saving devices, they have more, per family, than any other people on earth.

On the other hand, it has been said, and rightly so, that Americans often get very little out of life. One connot but be impressed by the great fun, wonderful family life, devotion and hard work and happiness exhibited in so many households in Europe.

One cannot but admire the attitude of many Europeans. Comparatively, they have quite little, and yet they seem to be happy, and life seems to be a wonderful thing as they weave their way through. it.

Of course one cannot cite a few simple examples and prove a point in a discussion of this kind. However, suffice it to say some of the world's greatest scholars and wisest o:wn believe that the average individual in Western Europe gets far greater mileage out of his few benefits and pleasures he enjoys in life than do Americans — with their many. We are inclined to agree with that analysis. In the final test it is not how much money, or how many luxuries, or how much wealth a family can amass.

- The final test, and what life is all about is whether through good and clean Christian living, through a humble and appreciative approach to life's pages, one can laugh, enjoy himself, and understand,- to some extent at least, himself; others, and the world about him, Old civilizations can teach us much.

America is a young nation, and, even in this atomic age, we should take a page out of the book of some of the older., cultures in western Europe and learn to get su -fi et.eing out of life, take time to enjoy it and remember that nothing is R) important as to make it advisable to ruin our health in the pursuit of the dollar.

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."

Fraternally yours, Joe B. Hejny •( )• Can My Friend, Who Concealed His Marriage When Applying for Naturalization. Lose His Citizenship?

Question: A friend of mine who was naturalized some year ago, stated on his naturalization papers that he was single, although he had a wife ad child in the country of his nationality. He would like to petition for the immigration of his family. To do that he will have to establish his family relationship with the Immigration and Naturalization Service , Will that endanger his naturalization?

Answer: Under the law, naturalization may be revoked and cancelled if it was procured by concealment of a material fact or by wilful misrepresentation.

Assuming the facts to be ex_actly as stated by you, a disclosure of the marriage would not endanger :his citizenship status, because generally speaking this fact would not be considered material.

It should be kept in mind, however, that it is always a violation of criminal statues when persons under oath deliberately make false statements. If the naturalized citizen is of good moral character, it is believed the concealment does not endanger his status and that he should reveal the situation to the Immigration Service. He should, however, first consult a lawyer or social agency experienced in these matters. ) • • • (— The Mexican Jumping Bean is really the seed of a swamp tree called the euphoriacous.

Elk Lodge No. 35 Observes 60th Anniversary Sunday, February 12, the Elk Lodge No. 35, observed their Sixtiesth, Anniversary with a short Meeting, and a guest speaking program plus a sumptuous feast and a dance that night.

Shortly after high noon, the membership, visiting lodges and guests started converging upon this wonderful group of people to help commemorate their 60th year of existence in our Fraternal Order.

A four tiered white iced cake, trimmed with rose buds and a four inch "60" on top, graced one of the decorated tables set up for the occasion, This was donated and was made by some of the good sisters of the neighboring Lodge 66 of Elm Mott, Texas.

The speakers' table, with its microphone, was in place and the chairs. too, were arranged for the meeting.

Brother Rudolph Zalman, Elk's president, rapped the meeting to order at approximately 2 p.m. with a few words of welcome and followed with the Pledge to the Flag, lead by Elk's Youth. A moment's silent prayer was given in memory of those who have left Elk's ranks to the Great Beyond.

Brother Zalman. then welcomed the gathering in the Czech language, especially honoring the older members gathered there for the occasion. He informed us that the Elk Lodge was organized on February 1st, 1901; that none of the Charter Members are living at the present tkme, He called the Roll of the Charter Members. Then he called the names of the oldest living members, about four of whom had been members in the Elk Lodge 57 years; followed by members who have been members on down through the 40th year. He recalled that the old building was torn down in 1935 and the present Hall was then built. Since then, howeVer, the present Hall has been twice enlarged and remodeled.

Brother Zalman, with the aid of President Marek, presented all members in the Order for 50 years of more with Fifty Year Pins, amid much applause Iran the membership.

Then following the introduction of present Elk Officers and their various committees who are truly- very active; followed by the introduction of the Supreme Lodge officers who were present with their ladies; members of the sister lodge Elm Mott No. 66; other lodges and other visitors to this special meeting.

Four new members were initiated at this meeting wth Brother Otto Hanus of the Elm Mott Lodge doing the honors.

Listening to the various Committee reports, it was evident that they have been very busy people. Each made a very interesting report, never forgetting to express appreciation for the help the other members gave them in their respective jobs. They all expressed sincere appreciation for this help.

The Elk Lodge also set a date for their pidnic, which is Sunday, May 28th.

At the conclusion of the business meeting, the Guest Speakers were introduced and each gave a short but very sincere and effective talk. First in line was our Supreme Lodge President, Brother Edward L. Marek, followed by Brother Joe B. Hejny, Brother Raymond Urbanovsky and Editor. Brother Louis Hosek. In one way or another, they all stressed brotherhood, its closeness, fellowship, security, assistance in time of sorrow, and comfort, in our fraternal Order.

They all lauded the Youth and its Youth Clubs and their Youth Leaders, stating that where there were Youth Clubs there were active lodges; that they were the backbone of the SPJST. The Elk Lodge membership was told that they are one of the "progressives" in the District, as well as the Order.

Brother Raymond Urbanovsky recalled the old lodge building and complimented the "new look" in the last remodeling which the Hall had. This too, was one of the lodgess that at one time seriously thought of disbanding, but some of the younger men took the reins to give it another chance and the enthusiasm caught fire and the lodge began to expand and grow. Brother Urbanovsky gave a most inspiring talk.

Brother Hosek, the guest speaker for this occasion spoke in both languages.

He lauded the older membership who came to this country, then a prknitave land, who fled oppression and who through the need for self preservation, security, fellowship, assistance. built these Lodge Halls from their families to gather in , He pointed out that our Lodge Halls serve as recreation centers for the community, support State and National projects in their roll of good American citizens. He praised the wonderful youth that was springing up in our Youth Clubs under the guidance of our wonderful lodge sisters, their Youth Leaders. He stated that "Brotherhood" was not only in Te;as, but world wide in scope, that man was emerging to his place in the sun among men.

With the speaking thus ended, Brother Anton Pavelka, presented the Lodge with

Wednesday, February 15, W61 a picture of the SPJST organizers Seminar in Insurance Marketing held recently at Southern Methodist University, stating that it was the most regarding week he had ever experienced, and that he hoped to apply some of his newly acquired knowledge into practice.

Brother Hejny then revealed that modest Brother Pavelka had also received a "diploma" for his successful mastery of the seminar.

Then followed a session of picture taking with the 60th, Anniversary Cake, of the older membership who were honored at the meeting that afternoon for posterity.

Then came the feast. It's hard to describe such a sight. The tables fairly groaned with salads, sausages, and the cake and pastry table looked like a state fair cok npetition. Needless to say, everything was perfect, the fellowship grand and everyone was looking forward to a wonderful time dancing that night.

The Elk Youth Club, too, had a short meeting, showed their Scrap Book to the Youth Club Members from Lodge 66, and the the Elm Mott Youth brought their Scrap Book along to show these Club members of the activities that they held last year. It was a fine way to meet and exchange ideas, and we know that the Elk Youth Club will work more enthusiastically in their lodge, for having met and talked with these young people from Elm Mott.

Scirie of us reluctantly took our leave of this merry crowd, to wend our way home before the sun got too low in the sky. It was a wonderful Anniversary Celebration which I am sure the older members will treasure for the rest of their lives.

The entire brotherhood extends its best wishes for many years of continued growth and success. )• 4 • ( The University of Texas has been teaching Czech at the university in Austin for over 35 years. However, enrollment has been declining over the years.

Dr. Edward Micek, who initiated the Czech courses, is about to retire and Dr. Joe Malik, the man slated to succeed him as head of the department, has left his alma mater and now heads the Russian Department at the University of Arizona. Dr Malik was named the outstanding professor by his Phi Eta Sigma and was and was presented with an Excellence in Teaching award by the ExStudents Association. His leaving was a loss to the campus and community for he and his wife Paula, were very active neighbors and citizens. Dr. Malik reports a heavy enrolDttent in the Russian Department at the U. of Arizona.

Brother Joe Kos passed away on Saturday, January 28, 1961 in Houston, Texas. He was an excellent example of being a Sokol, and his presence at technical meetings, slets and exhibitions will be sorely missed.

It will be hard to replace the invaluable assistance he has given to the

Wednesday, February 15, 1961

Sokols of Texas Yet, in the traditional Sokol spirit, we know that all Sokol units will carry on with more determination, to fulfill the ideals he had strived for all to attain.

The Fort Worth Sokol members realize that Sokol Houston has undergone many heart rendering trials and tribulations in the past years, for they in the best features of Christianity, took care of Brother Kos. In the spirit of brotherliness, Sokol Fort Worth, forwarded $25. to Sokol Houston to be used in any manner which they deem necessary.

A snowfall that painted a very pretty wintry picture fell last week. All the children had much fun, especially 'on the day when schools were closed, because of the weather. Due to the snowfall and to the hazardous driving that prevailed, the dance at the Sokol on Saturday, January 28, 1961 was cancelled . Even though there was not a dance, a nice group of friends gathered at the Sokol, and listened to the tape recorded music that was played for us by Otto Kurtz and Mr. Maly. Mrs. Joe Milan, Sr. took the kitchen in hand, while the young people served hot dogs, coffee and pastry . Even though the weather was not "Texas Style," there were some present dressed in "Texas Style," since Fort Worth Fat Stock Show had its annual opening.

It was nice meeting Mr. and Mrs. A. Rozanek of Crete, Nebraska recently, Mrs. Rozanek, is a former Sokol of Chicago. She and her husband are professional ball room dancers that we had the pleasure of seeing perform when the Six Fat DutchMen played at National Hall.

Another new acquaintance at the some occasion was Mr, L. G. Drawe of Houston, Texas, who wanted his friends in Houston to know that he was in Cowtown. We do hope his stay in our city was a very pleasant one.

Dear Members of District One: Here we are at the beginning of a new year and we have many things planned for our district youth. We are starting off with a program for our district meeting which will be held March 19, 1961 at New Tabor Hall. All children that are members of SPJST are invited to participate in this program which will be in line of a talent show. Each child will receive a prize for their trouble and one child that gets the greatest applause from the audience will receive a special prize. Age limit from 1 to 21 years, and must be single. Please keep your part short for we are only allowed one hour for this program. Also remember that you get points in your local lodge youth club for taking part in this program and from this you will benefit at the end of the year. Please mail me your narrie, lodge you belong to and what your entry will be as soon as possible so that I can work this into the program.

There aren't enough thanks to be said to Walter Hosek and Joe Pokladnik of Dallas Sokol, for their time spent this last weekend installing horizontal bar floor plates on our gym floor. They, accompanied by Jerry and Emil Milan, and Stanley Krenek, put in long hours of work Sunday and Monday. Now the boys and girls can flex their muscles to see how many chin-ups they can do, besides learning how to perform on the bar.

Our first game night during Lent is Friday, February 17, 1961. Do come for a fine evening of fun. If you do not know what we mean by game night, come out and find out I bet you will be surprised!

Fraternally, Mrs. Lydia (Tirk) Alholm

Every lodge secretary in our district received a letter from the Supreme Lodge listing in detail all our youth activities planned for the year 1961. If your lodge secretary has not read this to you in your meeting please request that he or she do so. This, and by letters in the Vestnik is the only way that you are advised what will take place for your youth in our district. If your lodge youth is not taking part in these activities, then you are losing something that your children are intitled. If you have any questions please feel free to call on me or Brother Joe Hej,ny at our Supreme Lodge any time, and we will be very happy to go over any issue that your lodge may be interested in concerning your youth,. It concerns me terribly that

YOUTH CLUB BRYAN, TEXAS

Wednesday, February 15, 1961 we have 39 lodges in our district and only two have organized youth clubs.

Please look around and you may find some one in your lodge that is very capable of organizing such a club with help from us.

I think that each member in our district is intitled to a report of our youth club fund and as to Where it is being spent. I received frotiN our treasurer at our youth activity day last year: $127.50 111.04 expenses for our youth activity day.

4.15 was made from lamp sale 12.00 made from dance floor 32.71 balance brought forward from last year 190.00 was received from Supreme Lodge for year of 1961 22.86 balance as of today for District No 1 youth fund.

This does not include your district fund that is used for district meetings away from our youth activity. We could use additional money for our district youth and if any one wishes to donate freely to this fund we would be happy to receive your donation.

Elven as late as 1930, when Texas had only a little more than 5 million population, it seemed doubtful that the grandchildren of he hunters of that day would have much of a chance to kill a deer.

During the past season, with the population more than doubled since 1930, Texas hunters harvested the largest legal deer crop• in the history of the state There is still a surplus seed crop for next year in the best areas.

And the grandchildren of the oldtimers did get to kill their deer. More deer were taken by young people this year than perhaps for any dozen years in the history of the state.

Apparently, we went into the deer season last November with slightly in excess of 1 1/a I:pillion deer. Final count hasn't been made as yet, but it is a good estimate that we harvested at least 150,000 or more legal deer in the 1960 season.

While it is impossible to give accurate figures of the deer kill, in every county of the state, we do have the complete figures on Llano County. Hunters in that county during 1960 harvested 10,753 deer. During the same time in 1959 they harvested 9,220, which was somewhat of a record itself.

Thanks to the ceaseless efforts of the landowners, their guests, the hunters, and official conservation help, this extraordinary progress has been made possible.

It has been a slow job, but now the effort is paying off. It took biologists a ‘.ong time to get the information they needed about our wildlife and what could be done about it. It took a long time to get landowners to realize that they hold the master key to the desident game, and to learn how that key may be used to unlock the door of wildlife benefits.

Down through the years our laws have been revised and strengthened, to meet the needs of the more enlightened gairse and fish management practices. Further improvements will be made in them as the need and understanding develops.

Other species of game animals and birds also are being managed within the ability of those who work with them.

It is not quite so easy to give reasonable assurance of satisfactory harvest on such things as migratory birds and other small game. There are many variable circumstances over which man has little or no control at all However, there are many things that, can be done, such as providing suitable nesting areas and habitat for each species, according to its needs, when they are in our area.

Substantial progress is being tmade

Strana 24 here in turkey and quail management.

Again, 'the landowner is the key. Where landowners have cooperated with good management the crop has been more bountiful, with a resulting improved harvest.

Here, however, weather plays an important part. if we are successful in a ,good carryover of birds, and heavy summer rains or severe drouth do not destroy the nests, we have a good crop.

Then all are happy.

Yes, there were some weak spots in our wildlife harvest during the last year (mourning doves the best example)0 but the over-all situation was so good we can't keep from• being proud.

This pride is not alone for those who have dedicated their work to wildlife accomplishments .A great portion of it goes to the landowner, who now is recognizing wildlife as a crop. Then there are the law makers who provide us with the necessary legislation. And, too, there is the good sportsman who is more interested in the crop than the harvest.

To each of these is due a great deal of credit for last year's hunting success ♦ • Austin — Greater prairie chickens from Nebraska will be given, an opportunity to get a foothold in Texas, according to H. D. Dodgen, executive secretary of the Game and Fish Commission. Twenty of these birds were flown into Texas last week and released on the Flat Top Ranch, southwest of Ft. Worth.

More of the birds will also be brought in as they are trapped in Nebraska, according to the secretary. Texas is giving scaled quail in exchange for the prairie chickens. These quail are being trapped in the Trans-Pecos country, where there is an abundance of birds and a short supply of feed.

On another exchange, more• than 100 Rio Grande wild turkeys from the King Ranch have been shipped to Hawaii. This also is an an exchange basis, and will give the newest state a start of Texas propagated birds.

America Now Weaker? Robert L. Skrabanek

By Josephine Lowman To Give Lectures In a country like the United States of America, it seems allmost unbelievable that Americans are becoming weaker rather than strong physically. Consider these facts! The interest in sports is so keen that verbal battles for one's favorite team are fought with the same vigor and enthusiasm with which politics is discussed; we have such a high standard of living and an overabundance of food; we have physical education courses in the schools and myriad playgrounds; our medical research is pushing back the onset of aging and nutrition has become a science.

Yet there is unrefutable evidence that our sta)nina and health are declining.

This showed up in Selective Service examinations. And the physical fitness tests which Yale University gives its freshmen every year have shown freshmen every year have shown a steady decline in the physical stamina of young men. In 1951, 51 per cent of the entering class passed this examination, and in 1960 only 38 per cent did so.

Not long ago Doctors Hans Kraus and Sonja Weber of the Posture Clinic of New York City's Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital, reported the results of a 15year study which showed that young Americans fall far below young Europeans in physical fitness. As a result of this and other evidence, former President Eisenhower formed the Council on Youth Fitness.

In the December issue of the magazine, Sports Illustrated, there was a most interesting article, by our new President John F . Kennedy. In it he said: "The knowledge that the physical well being of the citizens is an important foundation for the vigor and vitality of all the activities of the nation, is as old as western civilization itself. But it is a knowledge which today, in America, we are in danger of forgetting."

Certainly history has shown us what happens when a nation has too many luxuries and soft living leads to physical deterioration. In these times of stress it is our partiotic duty to remain fit or to improve the state of our health. )• •( Perhaps the heaviest load ever to be moved over public highways was the 228 ton generator moved 9.3 miles near San Luis Obispo, Calif., recently.

World-VVide Gains in Life Insurance Over Past Decade The gains in life insurance ownership over the past decade have been world-wide and not just confined to the United States, according to the Institute of Life Insurance. Percentage gains, as a matter of fact, have been greater in some overseas countries, where the business is younger and smaller than in the U. Comparing ownership in 34 countries on the basis of life insurance in force in relation to national income, perhaps the best comparative measure of life insurance protection, the Institute found that the ration increased as much as 200 per cent in oue country over the decade.

Many of the countries showed more than a 40 per cent gain.

At the start of last year, the two countries with the highest ratio of own-. ership-to-income were Canada and the United States, in that order. In Canada, the ratio was 163 per cent, and in the United States it was 137 per cent . Both these ratios have increased substantially -- by more than one-third between 1950 and 1960.

This decade has also seen notable gains in countries where the life *insurance business is relatively young, or where the business had been traditionally small. In Japan, for example, with life insurance at only 18 per cent of income at the 4start of 1950, the ratio had practically tripled by the start of 1960 when i was 53 per cent. In the Philippines, the ratio of ownership-to-income was 9 per cent in 1950, growing to 19 per cent in 1960. Comparable increases took place in Italy, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Czech Folklore in Texas Written by Miss Olga Pazdral of West, Texas as her "Thesis" for her Master's Degree at the University of Texas Editor's Note: Through the courtesy of Miss Olga Pazdral, Assistant Principal of West High School, we are most happy to bring before our English speaking SPJST membership, excerpts of her, "Czech Folklore in Texas," Miss Pazdral's thesis for her Master's Degree at the University of Texas.

• • (Continuation from Last Week) Games: London Bridge, the ring, blind man's bluff, sheep and wolf, drop the handkerchief, hide and seek, 'ink and tag, closely resemble the American games.

Na Kozla (Over the goat) is a leap frog game, hide in kokes, one player faces the other players, who stand in a single file. He says "Kokes." The first child in line says, "Co chces?" (What do you want?) The Kokes answers: toho zadniho" (That one in the back). The first one in the line says, "Bez a chit si ho". (Go and catch him), whereupon the last person in the line must try to run to the front of the line without being caught by Kokes If he is caught, he then becomes Kokes.

Card games popular among the Texas Czechs are Taroky, with the imported Tarok Cards; Durak and Black Peter (Cerny Petr).

Toys: Although in Czechoslovakia not very many toys were made in the homes, in Texas homes a few of the Czechoslovakian toys are still made. Enjoyed in Texas, as in CZechoslovakia, is the pastime of paper-folding. Out of paper, children make caps, horses, ships, bags, fans, heaven and hell, pots, geese, blowers, snappers, devils, cradles and many other things.

Sometimes a round piece of paper is cut in a spiral, making a snake, to which the head is placed on some pointed object and when caught in a ,draft, the paper twirls, making the snake seem to be crawling around.

Tractors are sometimes made from spools, soap, rubber band and a small stick.

Eggs are often made into toy birds at Easter time. Frain a raw egg, or occasionally a hard boiled one, the contents are removed. Holes are made for the head, wings and tail, which are made out of colored paper. A head is cut out to resemble a bird's head, while wings And tail are folded like home-made fans.

The ethics of today's tales are from that era where cannibalism, gluttony, cruelty, lust, slaughter, cheating, slyness and brute force were regarded as praiseworthy, as'in primitive society.

Fairy tales become of iv.prportance to the Czech literature, for after the battle of White Mountain and the Thirty year period hat followed with the Counter Reformation period when for nearly 200 years the entire national and intellectual life of the Bohemian people was almost destroyed, and the only way the soul of the crushed people could manifest its artistic talent and seek some relaxation was in making and telling stories, composing and singing popular songs. These songs, ballads and stories took the place of books. They were the product of plain and downtrodden people who in telling them forgot its misfortune.

Then the stories of kouzelnik or cernoknezik (necron:encer) entranced the young hearts; while Hloupy Honza (Stupid John) itpon whose head much injustice and ridicule was heaped. Then there was the prankster, Kacafire whose mischief delighted Czech children.

During the many years when attempts were being made to crush the national consciousness of the Czechs, these old legends gave political education to Czech children. Even today as one who learns the history of Czechoslovakia learns also the legends connected with its early days.

The name "Czechy" came from one of two brothers, Czech and Lech, who led their people, the Sla ys, from a marshy land (present day Poland) until they came to a beautiful country where Czech decided they should settle.

When the miraculous reawakening began to assert itself around 1780, the retelling of these old tales, and publishing them into book form, formed no small part of the , present literature. They expressed the dreams and hopes of a downtrodden people. Even in our present times, Czech Editors subtly use the Fairy Tale "The Orge," for example to tell of a monster who was so greedy, he swallowed everything, buildings, animals, human beings ands finally was so stuffed with undigested objects that The founding of the name of Praha he burst.

Every nation in the world has produced and has adopted many superstitions beliefs and customs which, it seems, cannot be weeded out by education or plowed under by science. They exist in great numbers. How did they originate? That some emotions. particularly fear, are essential components of superstition has been long recognized by students of folklore. The origin of most superstitions may be traced to fears experienced individually or collectively, and transmitted as part of the experience of the race. Fears, particularly irrational fears and worries, vary in intensity according to the physical and mental strength of the individual. Thus, the feeling of fear is easily aroused and most pronounced in a state of fatigue or illness, in isolation and in the dark.

It is perhaps for this reason that superstitious beliefs are most comYrion among those who live in sparsely inhabited places, and isolated regions.

Many superstitions are the results also of taboos against extravagance and waste, and these make a contribution to economic security.

Because of their ancient origin and their adaptability among people, superstitious beliefs cannot very well be classified as belonging to one nation or to another. Too many of them are international. Various superstitions are contributed as extant among the Czechs in Texas, such as: Animals: If a swallow builds its nest in the eaves of a roof, good luck will roost in that home as long as the swallow stays. Seeing three buzzards is lucky, but seeing only two brings bad luck. If a rooster crows on a person's steps or on the porch, that person will have visitors during the day.

A crowing hen means disaster. Chicken feathers should not be used in feather beds because anyone who dies on them has a much harder death than one who dies on goose feathers.

If a person wants more roosters than hens, he should set the hen on her eggs in the evening, if he wants more hens, then he should set his hen in the forenoon.

Texas children of Czech descent still run away from a cat that is washing itself because whoever the cat looks at first after washing will get a whipping.

Spiders should not be killed, as they bring money.

Weather: Various days and signs are used for prognostication of the weather.

If it rains on Easter Sunday, it will rain for six weeks. If it rains on Good Friday, the following year will be a dry one.

Rain during a new moon means that the

V tS TNt I — WEST, TEXAS following month will be a rainy one.

A ring around the moon means that there will be rain within three days, If the sun sets behind clouds, there will be rain the next day, but if it sets in clouds on Sunday, rain is predicted within the next three days. If a person starts counting immediately after a flash of lightning and counts until he hears thunder, he will know how many miles away the lightning struck. Thunder in the spring when trees are already green promises that there will be no more frost. Thunder in winter predicts frost sixty days hence. Then the belief of the spilling of salt, of Friday assumed as being a day of ill omen for Czechs, anything begun on that day will never be finished; anything chosen or bought on that day will not be satisfactory. Many Czechs will not move into another house on Friday nor will they undertake a long journey on that day.

The bad luck omens also are numerous like: sitting on a threshold; returning home for something forgotten; ringing bells inside the house; sweeping under one's feet; cutting one's fingernails on Friday or Sunday; walking in only one shoe, having more than one clock in the house, opening an unbrella, in the house; carrying a hoe through the house; climbing through a window (unless one cilmbs back through the same window) all bring bad luck.

If a girl whistles, it is said that the devil is laughing. Any one who eats a pig 's tail will stay home all day . A pin should not be given as a present, nor

Wednesday, February 15, 1961 should it be pinned by one person on another because pins stab love to death.

Anyone who looks in tht mirror very much will become ugly. Then there are beliefs on death, marriage, good luck, such as: The more a child cries the prettier it will become; a button that is found and put into one's shoe will bring good luck. A wish will come true if the person making it will turn a ring on his finger. If the hem of a dress turns up, it is a sign that the wearer will get a kiss. Dropped silverware indicated coming of visitors. Horseshoes are goodluck omens. Horseshoes must always be nailed with the open end pointing upward . If the open end points downward, the good luck will run out. A person finding a horseshoe may procure good luck by spitting on the shoe, throwing it over his left shoulder without looking to see where it falls. (That one must be international — for Americans have that one, too). Dreams, doors, moving, bread, (Czechs are reared to hold bread in high regard). If a child drops a crumb he is told that he must pick it up and kiss it if he wants to go to heaven.Bread baked at borne is often blessed upon being put into the oven and again upon being taken out. Before the loaf is cut, the sign of the cross is supposed to make it last longer. A loaf of bread is never cut at both ends because of the saying that he who cuts the other end cuts the heel Of God.
