U nas nejvetgi pozornosti aspod mezi naval pally kiuky se te gil elovek kteremu se tikalo ARON a na to slovo eloyek davam cluraz, jak z dal giho vypravoyani poznate.

To bylo hned: "CoS jsu nejakY kluk, nejakY soplori, aby mne tak volali: Franta Clovek ' basta takova persona a Frantigek elovieek Leda pro hanbu." Ale kaZdy mu kikal Aron, a tak kikejme mu taky tak.

Vlasy mel jako htebiky eervene, rezate, yousy take tak vkly rozcuchane, pihovatY as hrfiza a ae ho ty pihy hrozne trapily east() na ne natikal, "jako by mne muchy potentovali." Kdy't byl na dobre nature byl dosti zabavnY a sam kdya mohl z druheho si udelat fimfala zna) tak ho taky udelal.

Dostali nekde nejakY gogak to si vykraeo yal jako pa y , toto pane pod nosy podfukuje, si pochvaloval. PokrYvku na hlave mel vadycky nejakou a jsme ho videli i v cylindru sekat palm. Bydlel u nejakeho Pajdy (vlastrie Zleho) ale kde pak ZlY, Pajda a ton bydlel u Pajdy na sklepe, hotovY brloch to byl, ma, send, stare houne i jakousi petinu tam mel, celou zimu tam proleSel.

Ben Ptevratil se narodil v Oeskoslovensku, v Kruvku, okres Mirotice roku 1895. Ve stati 14 let adjel do Vidne vyuait se svemu temeslu, kteremu se vzorne vyuail jako mistr krejeovskY, a byl pii nem zamestnan do posledniho dne jeho givota. Kdyg mu bylo 17 let ptijel do SpojenYch stabü a v roce 1933 se pH.stehoval s rodinou do Dallas, Texas kde bydlel poslednich 28 let.

Ptevratilovi, a abychom teg vyslovili uptimnou a srdeenou soustrast jeho milYm portistalYm, a abychom pronesli nekolik sla y fitechy k bolem postigenYah, jejich srdcim. — Jsme si vedomi, Ze pouha slova nemohou nahradit vge co ztratila sestra Ptevratilova, jeji deti, vnoueata a pravnoueata.

Avgak vzpominky jeho lasky a dobrotivosti aspen, trochu pomohou ute giti je v tato smutne chviii. Portistali ztratili mangela, otce, dedeeka a pivadedeeka, a jejich gal je ,cliikazem jeho lasky a dobrotivosti k nim vgem.

Jã jsem byl mladik, kdyg v roce 1933 rodina Ptevratilova pkijela do Dallas.

Pamatuji si dobte, e hned pot svem jezdu vstoupil do prace Dallaske Sokolske Jednoty, a byl v nim pilnYm dinnovnikem do dne jeho smrti. Jeho laska k Sokolstvu byla velika, on nejen mluvil a propagoval Sokolskou mySlenku, ale on ji skutkem pro gival a byl nam vgem vzorem. Ztrata Ben Pkevratila v kruzich SokolskYch je velika, Jednota v nem ztratila starostu, diad kterY zastaval 16 let. Zupa Jigni ztratila v nem starostu, kterY gto triad eestne zastaval 22 let. Americka Obee Sokolska zratila pilneho elena stanovniho vYboru. Jeho smrt zanechala v tadach SokolskYch uprazdnene misto, ktere bude te gko zaplnit.

College Station — Most farmers and ranchers are interested in doing the best possible job of managing wildlife. Ed Cooper, extension wildlife specialist, points out that nature does a good job, but says man can be a big help.

Probably the most important principle Of wildlife management is to preserve or encourage the growth of food and cover plants. Every wild creature's livelihood depends on certain types of plants or animals that feed on plants, and landowners can be good managers by making sure food and cover plants are provided, Cooper continues.

In many cases, specialized] agriculture reduces the amount of food available for game animals. It is posj.ble to offset some of this loss by providing food plots for wildlife. For deer and wild turkeys, small acreages of winter grain can be ;Yost helpful. Oats, wheat and similar winter crops offer attractive grazing for these animals. The food plots have even greater value when domestic livestock are excluded, the specialist explains.

Quail and dove will quickly take advantage of certain types of food plots.

In the areas where they can be grown, Robe lespidezer, German millet and sesame produce seeds highly desirable for birds Several small strips of these plants, located near permanent, lowgrowing woody vegetation, are quite valuable.

Even wild geese can be benefited by winter food crops in Texas. In some areas, Gulf rye grass produces excellent grazing for these birds. Any type of winter grazing, including oats, rye, wheat and similar crops, can be used to advantage.

Local county agents can provide information on important cultural recommendations for these crops. He can also help with recommendations on fertilization, time of planting and other important details, Cooper concluded.

Mother's Day was established so that all of us might realize the full meaning and significance of motherhood and give it the love, respect, and reverence which it deserves. It was intended to bring to mothers the joy and gratitude which rightfully belongs to them. For ages they have endured suffering and sorrow, in order to promote and preserve life, and save liberty and the language they learned to speak.

Mother's Day, May 14 We should never fail to commemorate Mother's Day. This celebration originated in the United States and soon because a day of commemoration throughout the entire civilized world. Motherhood has been glorified through the ages; therefore, it is entirely fitting to set aside a day for its reverence.

This most beautiful holiday falls on the second Sunday in May. It is dedi cated to those who gave us life. Everyone who has feeling in his heart reI members and honors his mother It was she who brought smiles, love and sacrifice to her children; even if these disappointed her repeatedly. With pride in her eyes and a prayer on her lips she followed their every little step. For every fault and failing of theirs she had an excuse. In every act she saw something good, even when the act wounded her loving heart. She hopefully looked to improvement and reformation. On many a sleepless night she pressed her head into the pillow so that her weeping at disappointments would not awaken her dear ones. Yet she continued to hope and to love.

Your head resting upon your mother's heart, how comforting it was to build visions of the future. How comforting it was to feel Mother's hand, roughened by toil, stroking your hair.

Our mothers were more than ordinary women. They experienced true anxieties and solicitudes of life. They toiled from dawn till night, cooking, baking, sewing, reparing, replacing missing buttons and keeping our books ready for school. They

Words are futile in expressing gratitude. The deeds and lives of children manifest the love they have for their mother. If children in a place distant from the home of the parents, they should be urged to write to their mother.

If they have lost their ,n other through death, they should decorate the mother's grave with flowers . If they are blessed, with a mother who is still living, they should present her with flowers and gifts to show their gratitude. They should visit her and show their appreciation and love.

Let's make the second Sunday in May a real holiday for our Mothers.

SOFTBALL TEAM OF LODGE 84 Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: On Saturday night, April 29, 1961, we held our annual Softball Team Benefit Dance at Lodge Pokrok Dallas No. 84.

We wish to express our most sincere thanks to our Mother Lodge for letting us use the Hall and giving us a chance to earn our funds, to defray the expenses involved in fielding a softball team this season. We wish to thank the following brothers and sisters for their generous donations for our drawing, Sid and Justine Pokladnik; Carlyne and Willie Ondrusek; Annie and Otto Janousek; Adams Hat Company and Bill Jurik; and Mrs. Agnes Kutil.

We also wish to thank Brother Charley Staglik, Sister Flossie Vita, Brother An-

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS I ton Janousek, Brother Rudy Gaiser, Sis-. ter Lillie Jarma, Sister Pauline Vrana, l eister Jo Ann 1Vianak, Sister Genora Rejcek, for their donations.

We certainly want to thank everyone else for their support and their presence at our Dance. Without everyone's cooperation and support, this Special Event could not have been such a success.

Our deepest thanks to the Softball Players, their wives and friends who helped decorate the Hall on Friday night and special thanks to an annonyirous donor for the flowers which helped dress up the interior of the Hall — they were simply beautiful.

Thanks to you girls (sisters) who arranged the flowers and for making the lovely corsages for all of the wives.

We are happy to report that the Dance was a financial as well as a social success and everyone who attended had a most joyful time.

Thanks to Ed Faraizl and his Orchestra for the wonderful music, we all enjoyed dancing those polkas and waltzes.

I hope I haven't overlooked anyone, if I have, it certainly wasn't intentional and may I again say THANK YOU to EVERYONE for your splendid response.

We the softball team appreciate the interest and cooperation you have extended to us these past eight years, without it we couldn't have existed'. We also appreciate the support of 15 sponsors who all contributed financially to the team each season.

Monday night, May I, we were rained out and this game will be made up at a later date.

Wednesday night, May 3, we played the Bell Telephone No. 2 Team and we won by a score of 7 to 1, behind the three hit pitching of Wesley Ja.ska. He was in 2 form as he walked only one batter and struck out ten.

Wilbur Munger turned in a sterling performance behind' the plate. The team as a whole played very good ball as only two errors were committed.

Alex Parma, our shortstop, turned in two sparkling defensive plays, one in particular was near sensational. It just made all of the players feel good to win again, after losing three, one-run ball games in a row. Offensively, we looked 'such better and leading the way were Albin (Bino) Vrana with a hit and a sacrifice hit; Raymond (Ole Pro) Smith, who blasted a homer; Bob Spoor who had a sacrifice hit anid a walk; Paul Valenta had a hit; Alex Parma had a walk; Leonard Drozd had a hit nd Wes Jaska had a hit.

say that we are proud and happy to have I you as our leader and we will do all in our power to make your days with us the happiest days of your life! To Sister Ceska and Sister Petr, may I say "Thank You" from the depths of my heart for the loving attention you gave I us during your term as Youth Directors and thank you especially for the guidance and advice that you gave me during i the past years.

An additional highlight of the meting was the presentation of fifty year membership pins to several of our beloved and admired SPJST members. Many best wishes and dreams for happy future are extended to those wonderful brothers and Sisters who have witnessed the SPJST LODGE NUMBER 84 DALLAS growth and progress of our Order over the years.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

In the midst of several hundred wonderful people and in the pleasant surroundings of the fine Lodge 35, District Three added another momentous day to its already massive accumulation of successful activities Arriving at Lodge 35 in Elk on a eery beautiful early Sunday morning, visitors were greeted by a host of very hospitable members eager to bestow on all a most hearty welcome to their Lodge home.

Coffee and doughnuts were served to those visitors who came from near and far for this Spring Meeting. After giving all the travelers a chance to freshen up and to chat with their dear friends, Brother Trojacek District President — called the meeting to order. It was very refreshing as well as very enlightening to listen to the pleasant words of those requested to make brief speeches.

One of the main highlights of this meeting occurred) sometime after the delicious dinner served by the lovely ladies and girls of Lodge 35. I refer to the election of officers for the following year. May I, in behalf of all District Three members, extend most sincere congratulations to our very capable officers and may I wish them continued success in their roles as SPJST leaders.

At this meeting, District Three lost one of its most cherished possessions — its Youth Director, Sister Emma Ceska, and her Assistant, Sister Bessie Petr . We who felt their help, guidance, and service the most are sad to see them step out of office after sucha wonderful and "memorable term, but we are proud to welcome as our new Youth Director, Sister Wilma Nesuda of Ennis. In Sister Nesuda, who has had a great deal of experience in working with Youth, is placed our complete confidence and congratulations for we are sure that she will follow extremely well the footsteps of her predecessors. Sister Nesuda, I know I speak for all the Youth when I

It was very pleasing to hear that our District Youth Camp Fund is progressing so well and that so oxiany members are standing strongly behind this great venture. Let us all support it until we face the realization of this Camp with strong content and satisfaction as well as with reasonable pride.

May I say that the program presented by the Youth of Lodge No. 35 and the lovely Czech songs presented by the Choral Group of Lodge 84 were enjoyed immensely.

After such a wonderful day, it was hard to. say good-bye to all our dear and trusted friends — some of whom we had not seen in many months and with whom there was much to be said and talked over. But all good things must come to an end and much too quickly we found ourselves in route to our homes -a little sad to be leaving such good company but exen happier recalling the memories of that wonderful day.

May God bless you all and nay He keep you very happy always!

SOKOL FORT WORTH

Dear Members and Friends, Sokols and friends from far and near, gathered on Saturday, April 29, 1961 at the Wellandi-Merritt Live Oak Chapel in Dallas, Texas to pay their last respects to our beloved Mr. Ben Prevratil.

Mr. Prevratil was born in Czechoslovakia and passed away on April 26, 1961, at the age of 65 years.

The afternoon session of the Meeting was about over when this picture was taken and the youngsters were anxiously Waiting for the Youth Program to begin.

Of our seven Districts in our fraternal Order, Six Districts were represented at this Meeting. The farthest distance traveled was that of visitors from Oklahofaaa.

As Director Ed. Sralla of District Six, said in his speech, "It was like a family reunion" — so many from everywhere — the milling in the packed hall testified to the fact that many had not seen each other for a long time and were happy to see each other again. It was a most happy occasion for those who attended this Meeting.

Wednesday, May 10, 1961 American Sokol from Chicago, Illinois, gave heartfelt talks at the Memorial Service.

In a final tribute to the passing of Brother Prevratil, the funeral procession proceeded to the Dallas Sokol Hall. The American Flag was at half mast four Dallas Sokols (two men and two women) dressed in their Sokol uniforms stood at attention while the procession passed, paused and proceeded on in this last journey.

Brother Prevratil was an excellent example of being a Sokol, and his presence at technical meetings, slets, and exhibitions will be sorely missed. For 22 years he had been the President of the Sokol of the Southern District, and he was holding the office of President of the Dallas Sokol at the time of his death. He did not have to fight to hold an office, they just came to him.

It will be hard to replace the invaluable assistance he has given to the Sokols of Texas. No 'doubt, there are many that can recall experiences and the assistance of the helping hand of Brother Prevratil. His last wards to me at the AAU Meet last month was of encouragement and praise of my reports of Sokol news and events. Therefore, we must carry on with more determination, to fulfill the ideals he has strived for us all to attain. May he rest in peace.

"His tie pin flashes, his hat falls off, He is tattered and ragged and patched; But the tricks he plays, and the joy he brings, are, seldom if ever matched." Yes, the Circus is coming to town, but this time it is the Fort Worth Sokol Circus!

Perhaps, our older members have never known of a Sokol Circus, but in this atomic age there is a first for many things.

There are twenty-one Sokol. drillers that plan to attend the American Sokol Slet in Chicago in June . This program which will carry the Circus theme, is planned to help provide a travel fund for these participants. This is the largest (group from our Sokol that has ever anticipated going to the American Sokol Slet.

In the years past, we have invited the Sokol units from Dallas, Ennis and Houston to participate in our exhibitions, but on this occasion we are inviting you to just come and witness our exhibition.

This invitation is also extended to all our friends in our city and surrounding towns. The date is May 12th and 13th.

The same performance, which will con3ist of stunts, tumbling, tricks, clowning, high (wire) beam, trapeze, and 13eseda and square dancing will take place on both dates, so perhaps you can make arrangements to spend one evening in our

W. 28th St. On Saturday, April 29th, our Physical Director, Jerry Milan, who teaches at Fort Worth's Irma Marsh Junior High School, entered his school in the State High School Girl's Track Meet in San Angelo, Texas. The Jr. High School captured the team championship, won the team Sportsmanship Trophy, and brokethe state record of the 240 Shuttle relay. Besides winning three trophies, twenty-four individual medals were also won. There is no doubt about it, but this fine leadership that Jerry is now displaying and teaching others to practice good sportsoranship, win or lose, was learned in Sokol classes.

Our next scheduled, dance will be in June, although after each exhibition performance, and after the Carnival, the youngsters will be able to Bop and Swing.

A tornadic wind ripped off the roof of a motel about two miles from our Sokol Hall, and did much property damage north of the city . This is the season for the twisters, which are terrible to contemplate .

See you on the 12th and 13th of May at Sokol Hall.

Fraternally, Mrs. Lydia (Tirk) Alholm

• • Fishing Successful on Coast Austin — Despite high winds harassing fishermen on the Gulf coast, some excellent catches of trout, redfish and sheepshead are being made, according to reports from the Game and Fish Commission marine laboratory at Rockport.

The largest population of small trout, 12 to 16 inches long, since 1951 has been reported in Lower Laguna Madre. Fishermen in West Bay, around Galveston, have reported tremendous catches during the past week . The same is true up and down the coastline, where fishermen have been able to take good strings df trout.

Pier and jetty fishermen have been the most successful, because they can fish at night with less wind.

Right now, shrimp for bait along the coast are reported as plentiful. However lure fishermen are having very good luck.

Austin — The average fisherman on Lake Sheldon, near Houston, caught an average of almost a fish per hour of fishing, during the last season. This is revealed in a Game and Fish Commission report of Billy Cooper, fishery biologist who ran a check on the lake during the fishing period between April and October.

According to his report, the average fisherman spent 2.51 hours to catch 2.39 fish. The total per acre yield taken in all the public fishing amounted to 86 fish.

The total per acre yield taken in all the public fishing amounted to 86 fish weighing 10,453 pounds.

Sunfish were the most frequent caught species, making up 86 per cent of the total catch. Largemouth bass made up 8.57 per cent with an estimated 7,379 fish weighing 9,366 or slightly over one p ound each. There were 1,575 crappie taken . They weighed 765 pounds, or approximately one-half pounds each.

Commission personnel interviewed 6,323 fishermen and checked 15,139 fish.

Lake Sheldon was first opened to public fishing four years ago, after it had been developed as a wildlife management project. A total kill removed rough fish from the lake and it was restocked with game fish. Fishing is permitted only from April to October each year.

The remainder of the season, the area is a refuge for waterfowl.

Is Your Family A Czech Pioneer Family?

Sister Birdie Hilsher of Lodge Pokrok 88 of Houston, announced in the last District Five Meeting that she is compiling a book of "Texas Pioneer Czech Families" and invited anyone who has such a Pioneer Czech Family to participate in listing said family in her compilation.

She asks that you give date of ga-xigration to Texas, names of these first families, and then the names in the family tree.

Sister Hilsher stated that there are only two books in America to her knowledge with such listings of Czechs in America, both in the New York Library She states, however, that they are no Texas Czech names in these books.

For more detailed information, you may write directly to Sister Hilsner at her home 1215 Heights Boulevard, Houston, Texas. Her telephone number is UN 1-7083.
