Vipominky z detstvi (Ptemena jmen je frinyslna.)

(Pokradovgni) IY as doma nebkvalo smutno. MUj otec, wckoliv byl nemocen, mel rad zabavu a east° pii praci vypravel strkcilm vAelrjake vesele ptihody. Take strYcove si obeas vzpomneli na nejakou povedenou tWSkatici a ja jsem ty vesele historky poslouchaval nejradeji. Proto jsem mel take ze vSech na gich ptibuznYch nejradeji strkeka Janovskeho, kterk snad beze tertw ani mluvit nedovedl. Kdykoliv jsem mohl, provazel jsem ho na pochtizkach do poll a pti torn jsem s velikou chuti lapal katdk jeho vtip. A on je ptimo sypal z rukavu.

Nekdy mi vtak stank) k smichu jedine slovo: Jednu zimu se u nas schazivala v nedelnich odpolednech mlada, mutska chasa. Mladi mu& si stale neco veseleho yypraveli nebo si stale neco yeseleho vypraveli nebo si pii tahaci harmonice zazpivali. Jednou se stalo, to na chvili dichni zmlkli, a tu do toho ticha mladk kovat vybafl z dkmky celk mrak dkmu a propovedel kratce: "Ba!" VSichni se tomu zasmali, ale mne se to vybafnute sltivko tak libilo, to jsem se pti goural za kovate a tadal jsem ho snatne, aby to tak provedi jette Jednou. Ale kovat byl malomluvnk, east° za .cele odpiildne nepromluvil ani slova, a take tehdy jsem ho marne prosil, aby tak jeSte promluvil.

Ut si toho vsimli i ostatni mladenci a dornlouvali kovati: "No tak — kovati — promluv jege neco," ale kovat byl neoblomnk a nepromluvil. A ja jsem se pro to potom nu, kovate dlouho hneval, to mi tu radost neudelal.

• Jak jsem poznal Age Altovy kresby jsem uvidel po prve kdyt mi bylo dvanact let, a dodnes citim ten velkk dojem, kterk na mne &finny.

Bylo to brzo z jara. Vezi jsem na trakaki na pastvu mala tluta housatka. Byla uldena v kdiku a stark husa starostlive pokejhavajic iklusala za mnou. Vezl j sem je na malt' paloueek, titulne vklinenk mezi dva pahorky, z nicht jeden byl na vaku porostlk fidkkm borovkm lesikem. Kdyt pisklavk trakat vrzal kolem baradku tetky Bubenice, tak nejak at za samou yes syistreeneho, vybehhla tetka yen a tak se tomu komickemu transvortu chechtala, ze jsem mel opravdu strach, aby se na tom zapraZi nerozsypala. Vida veselou naladu tetky Bubenice, vytdil jsem toho a pcdadul jsem ji, aby mi nejakY kalendak. je 'Skoda," povida tetka, "zrovna

VES TNIK— WEST, TEXAS tadnej nemame doma, beha, to dechno po vsi. Ale poekej, kluku, mean tam takovej malikkej sditek s panakama a tikankarna, tak ti po pueim, kdyt seg takovej husi tata."

Musil jsem dekat, net jej tetka Bilhvikde vy'At'arala. Byl to slaboudkk seSitek, obsahujici asi deset narodnich pisnidek s AlSovkrni kresbami. Sotva jsem do neha mrkl, a ut zase trakat kodrcal ptes kameni, div moji ktehoueci svetenci nevypustili svoji paperkovou Zvedavost me hnala do spechu, abych ut ut byl na paloueku.

Tam jsem rychle vysypal housatka do make travieky, stark husa dostala rozkaz ,aby na ne davala pozor, a ut jsem sedel na velkern kameni-placaku, abych si dekladne prohledl poklad tak nenadale nabytk. Nemival jsem toho nikdy mno ho k prohliteni. Sem tam nejakk nenk odrbank kalendat, jehot ilustrace dramatickk nebo humorne lieily vAelijake tivotni ptibehy. Ale tadnk z tech obrazkii me nezaujal tou merou, abych na nej po odloteni kalendate jette myslil.

A nyni se mi dostaly do rukow obrazky, ktere me opravdu chytily za srdce. Ne svou vYtvarnou formou, to jsem tenkrat ani za mak nerozumel, ale sykm. obsahem. Staly se mi naraz tak blizkYmi, jako by z nich ke mne prornlouvali stile nebo tetieka.

Vklyt' tenhle stile je cel'Y mug strfeek znama dobra kopa, a tato tetka, bydli zrovna vedle nos! Nic bych se nedivil ,kdyby najednou obilvla a z toho obrazku na mne promluvila: "Heled', Pepiku, nebyl si to ty ten kluk, co nom yeera rozbil Spackem vokno?"

Wine pedenYch brambor zavanula ke mne z jineho obrazku, a zrovna tak se nak Plavka pase, jako pfibita. U rybnika podzimni vitr rozeechrava, ostfici a ten lesieek vzadu? To je tamhle naproti ta borovinka !Zrovna tak tarn stromy ke kraji fidnou, at stoji dva nebo tii 9 samote! Zvacllou bramborovou nat' a zetlele li,sti citim, jako by byl podzim a ne j aro, ktere se tu kolem mne v Padobe 'ZlutSrch housatek baton.

Take tohoto strSrce, co zvrhl tu tetku ye starem Spenzru s trakafe do lesniho rnotalu, .dobfe znam; tamhle jede s trakafemk panskemu lesu a ma prase takovou kratkou dfevenku, z ktere vyletavaji oblaky modraveho kouie. Je to start' Frantak, hrdina od Novary, PiaC - enci a Pietkatabony, kde pod Radeckkm jako Vyndiegreckylysar honil pymontske regimenty. Celo, to odysea jeho vojenskeho tateni se mi otivila, kdyt jsem zhledl dagi /My obrazek: "Hulani, hulani! malovank ,deti!" A kdo si to na jinem obrazku zpiva; "Ja, se main hfif net pes, musim hlidat yes!" Vklyt'

Strana 7 je to tentyt.' strSrc, star Franck, jen se ma opravdu nekdy jako pes, a piece si rad zazpiva: "A Betulinko boubelata, proepak se mne vzdalujes?" Je to on, start' dobrak, kterk me nikdy domil nezatene, kdyZ se v letni mesidni noci Potichu ze sveho pelechu v ptistodrilku vykradu a jen tak v kosili s nim chodim po vSech jeho "placech", kde si vatne nasadi k Ustum roh a do tiche noel zahuta: "Hut, hut, hut!"

A podivejme se! Tady si usedla spokojene ke stolu naSe tetieka vihioval Je nedelni odpoledne, uvatila si kafieko a ted' tady sedi s brklemi na gpiece nosu nad starkm kalendatem. V celem jejim oblideji je videt, s jakou chuti si "fika" nejaky moc hezkY "kousek", kde to na konec vSechno doloke dopadne.

Tak je to VSechno jako Zive!!

A kam at mam jit, abych uvidel tutu typickou krajinu, s kostelikem uprostied?

Mne piece stadi jen se na svern oblibenam kameni-placaku obratit ke sve rodne svi, a vidim vtechno pohromacte, co na techhle obrazcich je sem tam po eastech rozhozeno. Kostelidek s yeti, to je Ira§ starodavnY kostelieek! kada topoli nim lemuje Cihakovu zahradu a stark lipa, jet stoji mezi kostelem a farou, ma zrovna takovou koS'atou korunu jako na tomto AlSove obrazku. Veni statky se dvema okenky ve tit a se scAkou uprostfed kupi se kolem kostela, za ninA v fade stoji stodoly, prave tak oznadene ye stitech dirkovanYmi Dale od kostela stoji chalupy a nejdal, sem tam natoeene, jsou dfevene bardeky, stydlive se kreici za strankou. A jen ta bog muka tarn schazeji!

Ale ten febtieek kolem tech bcdich muk take dobfe znam! KaZde leto ho musim do zasoby natrhat pro sveho kaglaveho otce; jegte ze snehu na mnoha mistech ta leeiva bylinka vystrkuje svou uschlou hlavieku.

Do to doby se mi nikdy nestalo, abych si figurky obrazcich cdivoval osobami ze sveho okoli. Byli to "panaci" a lost!

Ale nad touto knfkelcou se mi vybavovaly v mysli Vgechny ty vesnicke figurky tak lehce a samozfejme, to jsem byl z toho celY u vytiteni, a tech obrazkii jsem se nemohl naba git! A pfipojene pisnieky jeSte ten dojem zvySovaly.

To se rozumi, to jsem se potom pokoithel vgecko to, co jsem videl, napodobit! Stale mi v hlave bzueely vAelijake popevky o strkcich, tetkach, milovanr verbovani, ktere jsem si sdm nemotorn,6 skladal a ke kterkm jsem potom smolil obrazky. Tehdy jsem ovS'em jegte del, to ty pisniely pod AltovYmi obrazky jsou pisne narodni, a domnival jsem se, ze je AleS sloZ11 sam. Take pismo jsem k nim kreslil tiskaci a vilbec jsem se sna-

Strum 8 aby se cela frprava se gitu, do ktereho jsem obrazky kreslil, pokud moZna nejvice podobala segitu, kterY mi zapirjeila tato,. Bubenice. A velice lituji, k jsem jej neuschoval. P11 ay e nedbalosti a easteene take pro naprostk nedostatek krytu — chudobne zafizeni na gi jedine svetnice — segit se leckde povaloval, aZ ho bylo pouZito jako poklopu na hrnek s rozakvafenYm sadlem. A potorn jej asi hodily ienske do platny!

Complete relaxation and peace of mind. What more is a vacationer looking for? And especially those who are really trying to "get away from it all" by making a trip abroad.

And' yet it's surprising how many of the million and a half Americans who are expected to travel overseas this year will fail to take a simple but important step to protect themselves in the event of a serious accident or loss. They simply don't realize that, in most cases, their domestic insurance will not cover them overseas. The problem can be easily solved, however, by the tourist's own insurance agent or broker who can provide American insurance protection that corglies with the laws of the land anywhere in the free world.

This insurance applies especially to those travelers who take their cars, purchase or hire a car overseas. The need for protection in order to avoid many of the unpleasant financial loss experiences facing unprepared travlers abroad is easily illustrated. That the case of a middle-aged couple who has saved for years to enjoy a vacation abroad. While driving through scenic but unfamiliar territory, the husband and another driver collided. Damage to both cars was severe, and the travler recovered from the shock of the collision in the local jail. Naturally he could not be expected to know that in certain countries it is the practice to jail a driver after an accident involving bodily injury or serious material damage. If the couple's insurance had included broad bail bond protection providing financial guarantee, the long-anticipated vacation would not have been ruined.

This is just an example of the many financial loss possibilities which agents and brokers throughout the United States can help prevent by providing a foreign Travel Policy to prospective overseas travelers in their communities.

guage

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."

Such a policy has been designed by AFIA — American Foreign Insurance Association — the foreign department for a number of outstanding insurance companies providing fire, marine, casualty and bond insurance throughout the free world.

The policy will enable tourists, whether individuals or fan4ilies, to purchase automobile, personal liability, travel accident and personal effects coverage tinder one policy for terms of 30 days, or longer. Travelers who purchase autotrlobile coverage, can obtain additional travelers personal protection at a package rate.

In addition the tourist can purchase marine coverage for round-trip transportation of his own car.In those countries having compulsory automobile insurance laws which may require local registration and third' party liability insurance, insureds may purchase minimum local coverage from the pertinent foreign branch to comply with licensing requirements. )•e • Happiness grows on our own fireside, and is not to be picked in strange gardens.

There are many ways, of course, in which individuals and organizations may be of considerable help to us in making this study a successful undertaking. At this stage of our work, however, we are primarily interested in eliciting a maximum of good will and response from all those who are deeply concerned with the future of the cultural heritage of their fathers That is why we would gladly welcome all sorts of individual and organizational suggestions and courments, as well as an intense discussion (in ethnic newspapers and in other mass media) of many issues related to our proposed project. Such an exchange of opinion would not only arouse a more lively interest in the public at large, but would also disclose particular programs and "philosophies" that ought to be implemented on behalf of preserving the values and tra;ditions of ethnic grou ps in this country. It is with this purpose in mind that we are making the following suggestions: 1, Contact mass media (newspapers, journals, radio or T.V. programs etc.) serving your ethnic group and encourage them to assist the Project by discussin,g or publicizing it to their audiences. If these media want further information about the Project, they can obtain it by writing to the Project Office whose address is given below. Many publications may also print your letters to them on behalf of the project. In this way, many other readers may become interested in helping us. Also encourage .pass media serving your ethnic group to cooperate with the, project by giving us the information concerning their language maintenance efforts that we will soon request from them, on specially prepared forms.

2. Send us names and addresses of individuals in your community or elsewhere in the United States who you • lieve to be strongly devoted to the preservation of your ethnic group's language in their own families, among their own

Civil W. r Commemorative Stamp to commoriorate the first military action of the Civil War, the bombardment of Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor. The Sumter stamp, the first approved by the new administration, would be the first of a series of five commemorating the more significant events of the Civil War. Subjects of the other four stamps were not announced, but it is understood they will probably commemorate the centennials of the battles of Shiloh in 1862, Gettysburg in 1863, The Wilderness in 1864 and Appamattox in 1865.

April 12 will be the 100th anniversary' of the battle which began with Maj. Roberts Andersen of the United States An.r.,y refusal to surroncier the fort to South Carolina forces under Confederate Brig. Gen. Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard.

Agreement on the new request from the Civil War Centennial Commission came quickly after Senator Johnson, who is chairman of the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee, wrote to Postmaster General Day, urging issuance of Sumter stamp.

The question of philatelic recognition of the Civil War Centennial Commissions' first suggestion was a 41 stamp "Blue and Gray" series, to recall the major battles of the war and the leaders of the opposing forecs.

The proposed series was reduced to 30 during the discussions, and the battle theme was rejected by the old Stamp Advisory Cartanittee on the grounds that any stamp issued for the observance should be on the constructive theme emphasizing "unity through sacrifice."

SOFTBALL CLUB OF LODGE NO.. 84 Dear Brothers and Sisters: Our first League game will be on Monday night, April 17th at Samuel's Grand Diamond No. 2. This will be our opening game in the Dallas City Co4r4mercial Softball League. As the schedules have not been printed, I do not know whether it will be an early or late game. We will play in two Leagues this season. On Monday and Wednesday nights and both of these nights on the Samuels Diamond No. 2.

In Our Monday night League, the other teams besides our SPJST Fraternal Insurance team, are the U. S. Marines, Otis Engineering and Dallas Morticians School. In our Wednesday night League besides our SPJST team are Texas Instruments, IS/C; Mayhew Engineering and Southwestern Bell Telephone team.

As soon as the schedules are received, these will be published in my next letter for your convenience. There is no way as yet to determine the strength of our opponent teams, however we hope, and feel we should be in good leagues. As to our own strength, we should have as

Mama 19 good or possibly better team than last season, we certainly hope we will • be much better.

We have had quite a few of the same players from last year's team plus three or four new players who should help us to be a better team. As for pitchers, we have our most capable and talented chunker, Wesley Jaska, from our last year's tearr:4 and also a new chunker, Bill Jurik who should also make us a fine additional pitcher. We are looking forward to both of them having a fine season. We have high hopes that the team as a whole will capably represent our Lodge No. 84 and the SPJST Fraternal Order in the Dallas Commercial Softball Association this season.

All we ask that you, brothers and sisters, get behind the• team and support them immediately and not wait until later on in the summer. We will appreelate your coming out to the first game itt the start of the season and make all of the games where possible. After all, It won't cost you a thing and you can rive your eyes a much •needed rest from Patching TV. Our team is a fraternal team, sponsored by a Fraternal Order and we hope we will be sheered by our Fraternal Members and Frier)ds. Your interest and your attendance is sincerely solicited and we all assure you, it will be deeply appreciated by every 'member on the team.

May I remind you of our Annual "Softball Team Benefit Dance" that will be held at our Lodge No. 84, April 29th. , Your support and presence at this dance will also be deeply appreciated.

The Ed Faraizl Orchestra from Fort Worth, Texas, will play for our Dance.

Although blowing sand adds its sting into the, wind, which makes for an unpleasant clime to be out in.

The Arabs have just completed their month of Ramahan, when they fast from sunup to sunset. They are now in the midst of the 'Id Al-Fitr holidays, when they feast and excbange gifts. Now, once again, things will function on an eight hour work a day basis, which is "itrVossible when one abstains from all forms of liquid and food.

Wednesday, Aptil 12, 1961 if any readers might be interested in offering up suggestions as to our route of travel, what to see, etc. We are open to suggestions, and would appreciate knowing about the hamlets and villages that the readers might suggest, we'd even visit the friends and kin left behind. This could prove most exciting. I shall endeavor to send you our definite itinerary sometime in June or July, God willing.

First of all, the Czech Choral Group will meet for its rehearsal on Wednesday , April 12 at 7:30 p.m. All members

Btrana 21 are urged to attend and new members are invited to join.

A regular dance will be held on Satur-

day, April 15. Music will be provided by the John Dlabaj orchestra.

On Sunday, April 16, the lodge business meeting is scheduled to be followed by Family Night. We urge all members to attend this and future meetings as all matters concerning the lodge are discussed and decided here. Everyone is also invited to remain for the Family Night which has become one of the popular activities of our lodge.

Once again we call your attention to the District III iLeeting as Elk Lodge No. 35 on Sunday, April 23, beginning at 10 a.m. One of the highlights of this meeting will be the recognition of all members who have been in our order for fifty years or more.

And don't forget the Softball Benefit Dance on Saturday, April 29. The Ed Faraizl orchestra will furnish the music.

Your attendance at this dance will help support the baseball club for this season. In our last letter we omitted mentioning that Brothers Ben Jarma and Emil Petr also contributed an . L.P. record as one of the prizes given in the drawing in which• newly initiated members participated.

And last, but certainly not least we wish to mention the wonderful Easter Party Sisters Bessie Petr and Carolyn Ondrusek planned for the Youth of our lodge. It was quite different in that the children didn't hunt eggs, but were surprised to find sacks of Easter goodies hidden in a large and beautiful crepe paper egg which four boys "broke" open by pulling paper streamers. Games, followed by refreshments, completed the party and fro g ni the looks on the children's faces, it was a complete success.

Fraternally, Frances Baleja Helen Pokladnik ) 4 4 •( SOKOL FORT WORTH Dear Members and Friends, The Easter holidays were joyous to us, and I hope to all of you. Those of you that are teaching or attending the Public Schools had your last scheduled holiday for this school term. The next i two months will seem mighty long, especially when much warmer weather arrives. I, personally, will try not to let it get the best of me.

Our Vice-President, Roy Alholm, presided over the last Sokol meeting, due to the absence of our President, Bill Renfro, who was recuperating from a cold after his trip to Washington, D.C. The meeting was routine, and final plans were made for the Easter picnic.

I Sokol Fort Worth was well represented

Strana at the Southwestern .AAU Gymnastic meeting at Sakol Dallas recently. In brief I will name our winners as follows: I. Novice — Ted Williams, 2nd place, Long horse II. JJunior Girls — 1. Alice Gurney — 3rd place — Parallel bars 2. Mary Jean Renfro — 1st place — Free Callisthenics; 1st place, Uneven Parallel Bars; 1st. place, All-Around; 2nd place, Side Horse Vaulting.

III. Senior Girls 1. Mary Jean Renfro — 2nd place, Free Calisthenics; 2nd place, Balance Beam; 2nd place _ Uneven Parallel Bars; 2nd place, All-Around.

2. Henrietta Milan — 3rd place, Balance Beam; 3rd place, Uneven Parallel Bars; 3rd place, All-Around; 2nd place, Side Horse Vaulting.

As you can see from above, Mary Jean Renfro came home with seven medals.

Since she has won a first place medal in Junior girl's Free Calisthenics before, she could not receive a medal for that event again. This also means that she cannot enter the Junior girls' events again, since she has placed first place in AllAround.

In the Senior girl's division, Avis Teiber of the Dallas Athletic Club won five first place events. She is quite a lively little gymnast.

I had the pleasure of seeing the Finals at the Gymnastic meet. From all indidications there was great cooperation within the working force. By working force, I man the judges, time keepers etc. Three Fort Worth Sokols, Jerry and Emil Milan helped with the judging, and Mrs. Mary Renfro had a great part in averaging scores. Yes, and those women in the kitchen, also had a great part in making everyone welcome.

Albert Boenisch managed to ride in the timber with his wheel chair!

To give a description of all the activities that took place would almost be ii-hipossible. No doubt, each child present had his own little version to tell about his day spent on the farm.

Just, as I predicted, Hoppy the Bunny laid many eggs for the children. Perhaps a Wild Hare got into the game also, because four of the children found eggs wrapped in aluminum foil! These were naturally, the prize eggs that were found by the following children: Patty Mason, Tony Mholin, Marilyn Milan and Sylvia Koch.

Since there were colored eggs of all kinds and descriptions, the raw egg also found its place in the day's activities.

Con't you just picture Mrs. Anna Milan and Mrs. Frances Tirk tossing raw eggs to each other at a distance of about 20 feet? You can bet there were many "eggie" hands after it was all over. In the Junior division, Alice Gurney and Albert Wicker won the egg toss; and in the Men and Women division., Troy Pruitt and Emil Milan.

The three different water tanks had children of all sizes anchored on the banks with all descriptions of fishing equipment. The great fisherman was Gordon Hubenak. He caught a beautiful 18 inch, 21/2 pound bass. Don't you know it tasted good!

There were so many sack, and threelegged races, that I have no idea who all the winners were. Stanley Krenek Jr., Troy Pruitt and , John Thompson really had their rolls!

The "Highlight" of all the activities of the day, was the Men's Tog of War. Two teams with about seven men apiece took hold of a rope that was centered over a narrow part of the tank of water. The winners pulled their opponents into the water, causing several to fall face down into the mud. This was really a sight, but the men were all good sports and had fun.

Perhaps, some of our members do not realize how far some of these participants travel frcm the Southwest to participate in an AAU meet.

We have three Fifty-Year Members at our Lodge now. We hope that they will attend the District Three Meeting at Elk Lodge on April 23. There are quite a few of us members of the Lodge who are planning to attend that Meeting, also I do hope they can and will all go.

As for our Easter Egg Hunt program, supper and dance — it was well attended and enjoyed by all. We are very grateful for all of their coming out to be with us at our Lodge Hall on that big day of Easter Sunday. It was estimated that 75 youngsters participated in the Easter Egg Hunt.

SPJST LODGE NO. 84 DALLAS

Dear Teanagers: The Teenage Club of Lodge 84 has a full slate of activities planned until the end of the surr4rner. Friday, April 14, the club is sponsoring a teenage dance from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. at the Lodge with "The Roadrunners" a combo from Jesuit High Sehool furnishing the music. Cokes and cookies will be the refreshments and all members and their friends are invited to come to the dance to help make it a big success. This dance will bring the club back into activity after the Lenten season.

Friday, May 5, a hayride at Sandy Lake has been set up. All members and their friends are invited. The group will meet at the Lodge, 2625 Floyd St., at 6:45 pm. and go to the lake from there. We plan to have roasted marshmallows, cookies, and of course, cold drinks.

June 11 marks the date of the annual Princess Banquet where the candidates ,for the Queen of '61 and '62 will be announced. After the meeting, a complete dinner will be served to all the teenagers, their parents and our guests. Then on June 29, Ed Faraiz,l's Orchestra will play from 8 till 12 for the Teenagers Fifth Anniversary Dance. For this dance the entertainment committee will have the Lodge decorated in a very special way. Come and see! Then as a "final fling" before we start back to school we'll take a dude ranch trip in the first part of August. The exact date and place have not yet been confirmed.

As president of the teenagers, I would like to urge everyone to attend their teenage meetings. How can you find out what's going on in your club if you don't attend the meetings? The teenagers at No. 84 have their meetings every second Sunday of every month. We have plenty of activities planned, as you can see, so we would like to have you come to the meetings to find out "what's going on."

Also, attend the Mather Lodge Meetings held every third Sunday at Lodge 84. In these meetings you could maybe find some tints that could help the teenage club along.

Fraternally yours, Joe Ondrusek, Teenage President * * LODGE WACO NO. 66 (Delayed) Dear Members, At the March meeting of Lodge No. 66, the awards were given to the winners of the state point contest in our Lodge.

The winners were as follows: third place, Zephyr Faye Spence; second place, Matilda Jean Spence; and first place, La Nell Ceska.

I would like to thank the Supreme Lodge for the award I received for the point contest in Lodge No. 66, and also for the award I received for winning the District III contest. Thank you again.

Sincerely, LaNell Ceska e T LODGE NO. 84 DALLAS SPJST (Delayed) Dear Brothers and Sisters, I sincerely hope that each of you had a very joyius Easter holiday. May the happiness that you experienced on that day fill the future with many pleasant memories.

By means H of this letter, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to Brother Frank Kofnovec for Lodge 158 in West for his splendid record of insurance sales. Og course, I'm always delighted to see our SPJST organizers selling "heaps" of insurance and my best wishes are always with them. However, Brother Kofnovec is somewhat a "special" person to me as I have known both him and the entire Kofnovec family for years. I was doubly happy to see Lodge 158 growing so rapidly for that particular lodge is also a special one to me. For, you see, I was originally a member of Lodge 158 when it was in Kaufman, Texas. I am proud to say that I was a member there for approximately five years after which my family moved to Dallas and transferred to Lodge Pokrok 84. Reading of Brother Kofnovec's good work certainly sparked up a glow of happiness in my

Wednesday, April 12, 1961 parents and in me as well. I wish further success and progress to Lodge 158 and continued best wishes to Brother Kofnovec, to Sister Mary Kofnovec, and to the other wonderful members of the Kofnovec family.

Also at this tinge, I'd like to say congratulations to LaNell Ceska of Lodge 66 who was the recent District Three winner in the Points Contest sponsored by our !Supreme Lodge. Also, my congratulations go to Mildred Vala of Lodge 88 for being both District Five winner and State winner as well. Knowing each of these two sweet girls as I do, I can truthfully say that they are more than deserving of their honors they have received and that they are both a credit to their respective Districts and to our SPJST. I wish them both continued happiness and good luck in their work for the SPJST Order.

I am anxiously looking forward to seeing you all at District Three's spring meeting which is to be held on April 23 at the Elk Lodge. Circle that date on your calendars and make plans NOW to attend. Don't forget!

American Colleges Are Teaching 80 Foreign Languages

Wednesday, April 12, 1961

VESTNiK—WEBT,TEXAB tical reasons rather than simply for academic interests indicated in the conditions :for the fellowships. One of the conditions is that the candidate for a fellowshipmust, in the words of the legislation, give "reasonable assurance" that on completion of his training he will either teach his language specialty to others, or will enter government service.

Significantly, fellowships are not available in German. French, Spanish or Italian — the languages already widely taught in American schools.

In this narrow, shrinking world, the peoples of different countries are coming closer every day. And since there is no universal language, mutual understanding among nations can grow if people can communicate their thoughts and ideas in another's language.

In the United States. the teaching of the various foreign languages will facilitate this exchange by overcoming the language barrier. The language teaching program undertaken by the govern#nent points to another fact — it furnishes fresh evidence that Americans are growing even more aware that all mankind is part of one world.

Someone has said that through the medium of English one can buy almost anything anywhere, but to communicate — particularly in the realm of ideas — one must speak the other man's language. This is the basis of a new government sponsored foreign language teaching program here in the United States.

The foreign language program, conducted by the United States Office of Education, is designed to further the study of various languages by college students.

The dozens of world languages being studied in this program range alphabetically for Amharic to Yoruba — both spoken in Africa.

Tt is not a program fashioned merely for a few specialists. Rather, its purpose is to make the courses in these languages widely available to students from their early years in college.
