Veal, ze ueitel dochazi k Panicovtirm a pozoroval i roz4:111, jak se pani fottova chova k nemu uditeli, byli-li tam nekdy spoledne. Proti dtivefaku az PHU' okate davala mu panimarna na jevo chlad a kdykoli tele zvala k pkiSti navZteve, jeho skoro ani Zertem nepozvala.

Kdyby nebylo fotta, jen se k nemu clmval se starou srdeenosti, a Herminy, jeZ i ted' k nemu byla aspori ptivetivou a zdvotilou, byl by se Horak dal opravdu odstra,Ziti ode vZech dalZich st yIca s rodinou fottovou.

Po dnelicu jiZ sem neptijdu, umirioval si east% kdy dumaval v sebe pohtiZen, zatim co ostatni se bavili Zivkin hovorem, ale kdy se phemohl nekolik (dal, divny stesk a touha po bYvalem ptatelskem pomeru a po mistech ticheho Ztesti zachvacovala jeho nitro. Jak• bYva,1 potom rad, ze srdeenost Pankova vlidnost Herminina znovu stavela mu mosty, ktere tolikrate jiZ za sebou strhal. Staeil povzbuzujiei rismey a stisk ruky Hermyniny, aby znova Zel tam, kde, jak pozoroval, den ze dne staval se zbyteenejZim. Hermina easVym, stykem s uditelem Chleboradern zbavila se pomalu sve upjatosti. Jak 1, Horak pozorovati, chovala, se k novernu ptiteli rodiny nenucene, se zajmem naslouehala jeho hovoru, easto se zasmala, pronesl-li neja.kY 'Serb a aspori lieenou ridast venovala hovoru s nim.

Panimama fottova byla, spokojena dosavadnirn prabehern a vStsledkern noveho ptatelstvi. Vs"echnoslo, jak si to ptedstavovala, kdy hned, ze zadatku vy-* notila se v ni myAlenka, ze by ueitel mohl bYti HermininSfm napadnikem.

"Velmi hodnY elovek je ten pan 'Oita', vid', Hermi?" pra.vila jednou Pankova dceti, kdy byly o samote.

"Nemam nieeho proti nemu, maminko. Proa by nebyl hodny?" odpovedela v rozpacich Hermina.

"Pekne si usedne nevesta, kterou si jednou do Akoly ptivede. 2ivobyti bude zajiateno, stard panimama mladou zaskoei v praci a mlada, panieka, bude jak v baylnce. Mohla bys si to, device, povaZovat za, Ztesti, kdyby pan ueitel o tebe staff. Vgak jug se rnne zda, ze nadarmo k /lam neehodi."

Hermina protahla heclvabnou nit', jiZ vyAlval a upela zraky na chvilku do prazdna.

"Netikaa na to Ric. Vis pkece, dceru g -ko,zetilpbYvae nsmou a a tatinkem nezirstana. Neodehanej Atesti, 'dere se ti nabizi. Myslim piece, ae nemaa pkieiny, prod bys nemohla miti pana uditele rada?" dolehala na deem mekce Pankova.

"Nevim, maminko, co bych tekla. Neni mne protivnY, ale rada, ho take nemam. Pkijde-li, victim jej rada„ zvlaate je-li to mimo nej jeSte nekdo jirrY, ale odejde-li, jsem klidna a eel* eas si na nej nevzpomenu a po nem nezatongim.

Bylo by mi. Inane lhostejno, kdyby tteba jiZ vabec nikdy neptia'el.”

"Hm, tatinek ma pravdu, kika-li ti, 'te jsi jako ledova, panna. Jina by se jiZ davno zblaznila, kdyby ji Jueitel vyznamenaval takovou pozornosti jako tebe. °statue, neni niG zkaZeno. Da snad Bah, ze se obratig."

Hermina nekekla nieeho, ale pochybo vala o mateine prtipovedi. JakSrs divnY zmatek bra,nil ji, aby matce kekla, ze z ueitele strach. Ve spoleanosti jinYch lidi byl pkijemnYm, tak le jej mohla dobte vystati, ale kdykoli tteba jen minutku s nim zastala o samote, calk klid z takovou vaanivosti a ogehaval jeji dive! postavu takovYmi pohiedy, ze v gdycky vgecka eerveri vrazila se ji do lid!, nitro se boutilo a ona s neptekonatelnYm vnittnim odporem vyvijela mu ruce a uhSibala se jeho pohledum.

Jak jinalcYm, docela jinakkm b3ival za, podobnYch okolnosti pan Horak! Kolikrate i s nim bYvala druhdy o samote a o to dale ne g s uditelem. Mnohdy i pril hodiny prosedeli vedle sebe v pokoji nebo v zahradce, pohlizelj si otevtene do oei, a setkaly-li se i ruce jejich, jako by proud tiche slasti tim dotekem pkechazel z dirk do duZe. Ticha radost pinila jejich nitro, beim i ram bylo do rismevu a nikdy ani jeden ani druhS7 neeltii ptieiny se zardivati, tkeba, ze je nekdo ptekvapil, ge ruku v ruce hledi si do oei.

VpodobnYch chvilich citila Hermina pined Chleboradem riskost a strach a pteci jindy zase, kdy byl ye spoleenosti jinSrch lidi hovornYm a vtipnkm spoleenikem, poslouchala ho s freasti a saporninala, prole se ji protivil.

Proti Horakovu oeekavani dala se Hermina jednou vylakati i k prochazce do lesa. Bylo to jednou ye etvrtek ji2 v listo-

Vzal puZicu na rameno, ale v lese o mladYch lidi brzo se oddelil, ponevadZ pochtzka jeho vedla, jej na neschridna mista, jeZ nehodila se k prochazce pro zabavu.

Mladi lide osamotnevge hovotili lehce a ledabyle o vAem, rnoZnern. Hermina berstarostne hrouZila se do vzpominek, kolikrate kdy pti gla v mista, kudy praye Zli, Horak si ptipomenul nejednu zajimavou podrobnost, ueitel vypravoval, jak se mu zde v kraji lib!, ae ji g i na Kotrbe sam si vystoupil a 'Se byl uchacen earokrasnYm rozhledem, jen se s lyseho jeho temene ocitn otvird.

Potom v keel zaboeili zase i na zimu, jeZ nastavala, na eetbu za zimnich yeeerii a mimo nadani octli se v sajima,vem hovoru.

"Hm, vedorni mravni hodnoty, pravite, pane Horaku, ae eloveka, ute guje a povsnag? Ja zase jsem pro sebe ptesvedeen, Se nerd vabec Sadne absolutni hodnoty.

"Myslite, tedy, ae mule bYti Zt'astnYm elovek, jen g jedna proti temto praviditim?" ustrnule se tazal.

"To je vediejai, ale ja, tvrdim, -ae jest St'astnYm elovek, jenZ se o pravidla tak svane. mravnosti vabec nestara a na ne se neohlai," odpovedel ucitel, pozoruje, ze Hermina hledi na nej ptekvapene, co g povagoval za obdiv.

In the last Annual Youth Activity Day of District Three in Dallas, Youth Club Scrapbooks were displayed together with the Handicraft items from two Youth Clubs, which created wide interest among those visitors present. Both lodges carried off prizes.

The Youth Club of Lodge 88, had two year's activity displayed, each year in its separate liinder, attractively mounted newspaper clippings, photographs, programs, posters, tickets which they sold PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE for various functions in their money "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the raising activities, dance programs etc. to United States of America and to the show just haw active that youth Club Republic for which it stands.

VESTNiK — WEST, TEXAS

Editor's Gteanings We are all happy that our Order has grown so satisfactorily, in membership as well as in property — property which has reached more than the eleven million dollar mark.

If v.° continue working together in this manner and support our organizers wherever and whenever possible, and if we continue getting our youth and young adult members in our communities into our lodges and if we speak well of our Order at every opportunity, then our future goals and aims shall be achieved.

Time and opportunity waits for no man; that which you can do today, let's not wait until the morrow. Just how in Doh Of our healthy youth and young adults will we be `able to sign up in your community?

BROTL,ZR JOHN R. KRIZAN We salute Brother John R. Krizan, organizer of Lodge No. 6 in Cottonwood.

Brother Krizari mailed us 31 applications for membership in one day.

He wrote '71 applications for rnem'hcrship in one month. The largest number of applications ever written by any organizer in like period of time.

Our hearty congratulations and sincere thanks to you BROTHER KRIZAN, we certainly appreciate your contributions and wish you continued success.

Fraternally yours, Joe B, Hejny 0 40

SPJST Overcomes 5 run Lead

I could name you at least twenty lodges in our Older where they are successfully working together with the you'd and young adults, where the old Czech cultural arts such as drapiatics, choral club participation, have celebrations, dances, suppers, picnics, contests, andother attractive functions, are perpetuated. In these lodges also, you will find their Reporters tor each phase of activity, who keep the Vestnik readers as well as their membership posted on the activities going on. This is not to brag on their cleverness, but rather to inform, invite and share. There is a lot f haid, work behind these functions, with many of the participating members never mentioned by name. They get their satisfaction out df the success of the venture, knowing deep down in their heart, that they are a part of that success — that is enough for them. Then too, this reporting encourages other lodges in our Order to try to work as they do. Often they dhallenge these others to contests to match wits and sinew, where every member pitches in to do his part to Win. Many wonderful friendships have been established in this manner between Districts as well as lodges.

Straw. 13 very closely. Reports of coining events which arrive at your home after they have been held, are of no value to anyone — the space could be used to better advantage. So, get the reports in, in plenty of time.

Every well planned lodge event in your community holds the interest of the reading public about your lodge and our Order. It is an established fact that lodges who do not make any effort to publicize their activities, cannot expect the interest and attendance of the public as well as its whale membership and slowly dies On the vine.

It is recommended that our members occasionally visit nearby lodges which function successfully, to perhaps pick up some pointers which your lodge could use. We learn from each other . Their activities should be an incentive for your lodge to plan some positive steps ta inaugurate a program of activity — not just talk about it. or make excuses for inactivity. This should be done in time before your morrIber,ship drifts to other active lodges close by.

If we want to reap real happiness at the progress of our Order, we must not stand aside in our lodge work, but rather become an active part of it — only then will our happiness be complete.

Astonishing success can be had in lodges where the sisters and the brothers are dedicated to the lodge.

Much also depends upon our lodge officers in tfo e manner in whioh they grasp their responsibilities of office.

There are many lodges that could have lots of youth and young adults in their ranks, if the present membership would only modernize their Lodge Halls a little, so that they could rank with other lodge hula These lodge halls cost money, even as they were first built, and anything worth having is worth keeping up with the times. It always takes same, financial sacrifice to start the ball rolling, but it will return to you shortly as you will be able to hold your young adult membership in your remodeled Halis, where their comfort is taken care of but also their health standards, and we must mention indoor toilets for both men and women as well as running water in your kitchens, Your Editor mentions this as a reminder, with good intentions, from extperiences gained and from observations made by visiting guests and visiting membership, who compared Lodge Hall with Lodge Hall — who express no surprise that the young adults and youth were defecting to other lodges. It is believed and hoped that these burning issues be met and overcome for the good of the individual lodge and their lodge

Strana 14 home. Your Editor firmly believes that ;when some lodges can modernize their homes, that other lodges can too. And he believes that the sacrifice will pay off oxtany times over, that in your lodge nail, sisters and brothers it is possible.

Your success, growth in membership, your Youth Club will be the happiness of all of us in our order: but our organizers, our Supreme Lodge will help you as much as they can. Success will come — only keep that GOODWILL Alive.

A good lodge is known by its good deeds. Do what you will but your records will speak for themselves.

Notice for example, how our Lodge Cottonwood 'No. 6 has placed in insurance sales. Their three hustling organizers have brought home another District Queen. They signed almost half of the insurance sold during this Contest in District Three. Cottonwood is a little country lodge, but if it continues to move forward at the present pace, promises to have a most enviable future: the same goes for the little country Lodge of Elk No. 35. We all wish them both continued success. He who works — gets: he who doesn't — doesn't. ♦ • 'Tis said that he who lives beyond his income in his old age when he can no longer work, becomes a burden to others. Such existence becomes bitter bread, especially when sickneis plagues such a person. Therefore, it behooves the wise to save, to be thrifty, and when times are booming to reorlember as the. Czechs say "remember your hind wheels." ♦ • Let's therefore, instill this thriftiness in our youth anicll young adults when possible. It is not necessary to have everything one sees: "Keep up with the Jonses" 'tis much wiser to invest your money in insurance policies "annuties" which will insure security in older years.

Give this some serious thinking — invest for your old age while the years are igood to you and while you are still insurable. The forced savings from some ten, or fifteen years will fly by quickly, and the returns will be most gratifying.

Discuss this with your Lodge Organizer.

Ask him about our Education Policies.

Education is becoming the topic of the Your — the future does not look too good without a good education — or professional training — which takes money.

An Education Policy left to your child is better than a "House in Prague" again, as the saying goes; it can't be taken (from him.

Will you,seriously think about these Well meant words of your Editor.

After a conference held by the editor and the officers of our Supreme Lodge it was agreed, that our Vestnik will no longer publish pictures of brides, wedding anniversaries, graduates, or any other picture of members NOT PERTAINING DIRECTLY TO OUR LODGE WORK and INSURANCE SALES. This was brought about due to the constantly rising cost of having cuts made of these photographs and returning original photographs to the membership.

It was further decided that all matter mailed to your Editor must be covered by full postage, and any material such as pictures, which you wish returned, must have full postage coverage enclosed for its return.

Photographs with letters enclosed, tnust so state on the cover, otherwise, they, go first class the most expensive way. A better practice is to attach letter to the envelope containing the photograph, then the postage is cheaper.

We all know that the cost of living has gone up, as has postage, and it's just good business management to watch all costs, and cut expenses whereever possible. That is what has made us what we are today, — prudent management.

Any other mail matter where the postage is not fully prepaid, will be returned by the Post Office to the sender.

BROTHER DONALD ZATOPEK SISTER LINDA MYNAH Climaxing a day of excitement at the Annual Youth Activity Day , of District Three which was held in Dallas at host Lodge Jaro 130 on Greenville Avenue Lodge Cottonwood No. 6, brought home to their mother Lodge another District Three Queen, lovely Sister Linda Mynar, rand handsowe Brother Donald Zatopek as her District Three royal escort.

Though Sunday, June 25, started •early with thundershowers, it did no_t faze the District Three Youth from attending this Annual affair to display their skills in Handicraft Contests, the Talents, and Eliminations for the State Talent Contest which will be 'held in Taylor, Texas, with Lodge Praha No. 29 as Lodge host.

There was a large crowd of members and friends to witness these "doings" of the District's youth, and everyone had a good time.

The spacious SPJST-Sokol Hall in Dallas was large enough so that games could be held indoors since the outside premises were soggy with rain.

This was the largest representation of District Lodges ever witnessed. Each Lodge Princess had her counterpart in a Duchess and her escort, a most endear-

Room with a tableau likened to a true Queen's Coronation. The parents of the participants were just as tense in anticipation as were the Royal Court as to the outcome of the event. Naturally, Brother Hejny heightened the tension by first congratulating, thanking those who deserved such recognition for the work put into the affair, and When finally the New Queen became known, a cry of happiness and relief excaped from the throats of everyone present, exclaiming at Lovely Linda Mynar, in her emotion filled moment of triumph on having reached the coveted throne.

Another important event which brought so ne tense moments was the State Talent Contest, where eight participants in the Junior Division presented their numbers. In the Senior Division, which was to represent District Three in the State Talent Contest, only three contestants participated, two girls and a boy.

The winner in this contest too, was held over until just before the Queen's Coronation, which added to the tenseness on that day. Handsome Roger Nesuda, the only Boy Contestant won this Talent Contest and will represent District Three in Taylor in the State Finals.

He is the son of Brother and Sister

Despite torrential rains and road tours seventy seven young peopic registered for activities at the Youih Day in Dallas, Sunday, Juno 25. Scale activities that were planned by the district officers and the youth leaders coal• not be held due ta continuing rain: , . OLhers had to be changed in tine schedule since the whole program was 'delayed due to late arrivals. each Youth Activity Day more people are being involved and the activities themselves will have to be changed to accommodate this fact. The district foresaw this and made some changes this year; others will c0or:0 as we realize that we are crowding, an awful lot into the allocated time.

Temporary help was recruited for the registration of the Arts and Crafts enteries until assigned leaders could get there. This event was participated in by many young members who made a varied display of their various interests.

To allow time for other activities the talent contest was Hunted to one entry per lodge in each category in a meeting of the Youth leaders and district officers at a special meeting called by the president of the district following the last District meeting at Elk. Thus by holding hese three contests in the morning, time was gained for other activities in the afternoon.

Tabulation of the results of the Talent contests were finished by the ju'ges during the lunch hour. Judging of the Arts and Crafts was difficult. Finished, this irequired tabulation and therefore the schedule was revised and the Autograph Hunt proceeded after lunch ,. Seventy six young members participated and the three highest received prizes. An icebreaker, the hunt kept the young people busy for an hour.

Presentation Of aWarlds included ribbons and gifts to the first three places in each category and participation ribbons to all others, Talent participation ribbons went to the talent contestants

BENEVOLENCE BROTHERHOOD.' HUMANITY

HOUSTON LODGE 88 Dear Brothers and Sisters: A few weeks ago a first was in the making when Lodge No. 88 gave a "This Is Your Life" program ' ,honoring an individual nember for his thirty years of membership. This member was Slava P. Studnicny, who had his life narrated ',during a monthly meeting by President Louis Harms. The following is the narration:

Strana 17 years in ghicago you and your wife de, cided that Texas would be a better place to live and raise a family. Coming to Texas you settled in Houston, Heights, which at that time was practically a wilderness and a great onallenge to the youth of your life to make good. To your wife this wilderness was also a challenge, and by hard work in cultivating the land she became widely known for her beautiful flowers and vegetable gardens.

In April of 1908 you as your wife became the proud parents of twins, named Harriette and Henry and in 1910 your third child named Stanley was born.

After a few years in the Heights you and a group of other Czechs got together and decided to form a club and built a lodge. As part of 'Sods group you were the pioneers who gave us in Houston, the beginning foundation for the principles Of Benevolence, Brotherhoo0 and Humanity which we are so proud. Working in the spirit of Brotherhood you and your wife, Pauline Studnicny, practically gave all of your time toward the

SLAVA P. STUDNICNY Slava P Studnicny, you were born in Prague, Cechoslovakia on Jan. 3, 1881. At the early age of twenty-two you became learned machinist by trade, and decided at hat time to come to America where opportunities were greater. In 1903 you arrived in America and settled in Chicago where you worked at your trade as a machinist. After two years in Chicago you fell in love with Pauline Vychodil and married her on Valentine's Day in the year 1905. After a few more

Strata 10 Czech Lodge. All of your work for the lodge was given freely in a fraternal spirit to make a better life for the corn.-, ing generation of Czech boys and girls.

Many times your wife walked the distance from the Heights to tine lodge, pulling a little red wagon loaded with her pots and pans, so gulas could be cooked for the lodge members. Your sacrifices were great and many, but you always knew in your fraternal heart that someday the brotherly spirit for which you stood would make it easier for others to come.

During the First World War you, as a member of the Czech pioneers, worked tirelessly packaging boxes for shipment over seas and your hard-working wife knitted sweaters, socks and 'mufflers.

When the Czech legionaires came through Houston, the men and women of the lodge served 'them sandwiches, coffee and douglhnuts. After the war was over, you had the honor of seeing your beautiful daughter, Harriette, representing the Republic of Czechoslovakia in the Armistice Parade.

In the early days of our lodge you took part in the Czech plays, conducted summer Czech school and in later years became a drama critic. You knowing that brotherhood taught all mutually to love and protect one another on all occasions, gave your helping hand to new corners like the Louis Ruliks, Fred Buri and many others. Your wife also helped in many ways, even ;delivering babies to the different Czech families when doctors were not available and even adopted other children to give them a mother's care.

After the war in 1918 you went into business for yourself and then after several years sold your business and went back to your first love by being a machinist forthe Houston Transit Company.

In 1929 you again becairre proud of your son, Henry, when he graduated ,frown, Rice University with high honors. Both your sons, Henry and Stanley, gave distinguished service in World War II for the United States. Your daughter, Harriette, became a tireless worker in our lodge's Hlahol Dramatic Club and was its director for ten years.

At the age of sixty-five you retired and began writing many interesting articles in various Czech papers and pleasant fraternal things about the membera et the SPJST organization.

Brother Studnicny, our lodge No 88, thanks you fraternally, for all of the kind deeds and sacrifices which you and your wife have so benevolently given in our behalf. Your many years of help in assisting our sisters and brothers in time' of need and sickness, in their trials and

VISTEIK— WEST, TEXAS

tribulations andprotecting their interests and rights in our lodge, has indeed made you and your wife, Pauline, an outstanding worthy, benevolent member of our lodge.

To you, all of our members extend their helping •hand with fraternal love.

God bless you.

Don't forget the big dance to be given on July 15th. Karl Matejka and the Shiner Beer Playboys will furnish the music for polkas, waltzes and other modern and Czech music. Come, won't you, and bring your friendi.

Since the opening of the college in 1926 it has provided two years of higher education for area students.

Until 1957, the junior college courses were taught in the Temple High School building. But in that year, the college moved into a new building located on South. First Street on the outskirts of Texiwle.

Hubert M Dawson is president of the school and Johnny Payne is dean-registrar.

Dawson points out that in 1955 the college had approximately $10,000 to $15,000 in equipment and buildings. But in the past six years, the college has expanded to about $500,000 in equipment and buildings.

Last fall the college administrators predicted a normal 10 to 15 per cent increase in the junior college enrollment.

Instead, they received a 43.6 per cent increase, the second highest of all Texas junior colleges.

Wednesday, July 5, 1961 INFORMATION NEEDED FOR CZECH HISTORY BOOK I am interested in gathering material of our early Czech settlers in Texas — their arrival, settlement, occupation, schooling, amusements, achievements and developments, civic or historical interests, their churches and cemeteries, etc. — and anyone having relatives who migrated to Texas from 1800 on, please try to get all the information needed for the compilation of a Czech History Book.

All Czech families settling the state Texas should be entered in this bdok for preservation of our Czech generations to come.

We have a wonderful historical background — one we should all be very proud of to pass on to our children, The Czech people are not one to brag about their accomplishments, and therefore, all is forgotten, and it should not be so as they have played a big part in helping to build this great state of ours, and a record should be made of sane before it is too late.

For many years I have hoped that someone would take it upon himself to compile a book on the Czech pioneers of the State of Texas, and since no one 'has, I have taken this great task upon myself and will sincerely appreciate everyones cooperation in this great ordeal by sending me all the information they can get. It will be the work of all of us together to achieve this book as there were many Czech settlers.It will be a bookof us, for us, and by us working together; and even though it may take some years before it is thoroughly completed we want to make it, a good book.

So no matter who your people were, if they did little things or big things, if they were rich or poor, it doesn't matter, we want to include all of them.

I have spent a lot of time doing research on our Czech history, and have received many wonderful family histories, photos, Imps, points of interest which have been lost, diaries written by early settlers, memos of Czechs in wars, stories of hardships, etc. It is remarkable what history we have in our Czech people. All your family histories and photos, etc., will be copied and returned to you, unless you specify otherwise. If you do not as yet have a family tree or a family history, please try to get one together as soon as possible. (I will help you all I can).

You will be surprised how interesting it is and how easy it will come to you (it is a wonderful hobby for the entire (family), and before you know, you will have it all completed and mailed to me.

Here are some pointers to make it easier:

V TNIK WEST, TEXAS

Struna 21

1. Begin with your own immediate historical value of your town or city of

family and children, giving birth dates, Where born, names, when and where married, and to whom, death dates, where buried (name of Cemetery). Then go to your parents which is the second generation and do the same thing as for your family, and then to your grandparents on both sides, and then to your great grandparents, etc. till you come to the ones that arrived here in Texas.

2. Consult members of your family for information needed — especially the older ones who are still living. Write all the nistory and story that they can tell you — names, dates, locations — their friends and relatives. Consult them several times since memory often -fails them, or ask them to write things down as they think of them. If at first they tell you they don't know, don't give up. They usually have to have time to think and they will love to recollect. If you don't think so, try them.

3 Un-earth old family records or Bibles, diaries, death notices, birth certificates, (ferriage certificates, old photographs, old books, old deeds and wills — whatever you can dig up will help you a great deal.

4. Visit old family cemeteries to secure dates from tombstones.

5. Read old family letters to determine whether or not names, dates, locations of your ancestors can be found. If you don't have any, check with your other relatives, they may nave them.

6. Visit court houses or write the Clerks of County Courts, churcnes or parishes in counties where your ancestors live. Very often the following information can be helpful: wills, marlage licenses, deeds, court proceedings, lan,dgrants, etc.

7. Consult state bureaus of vital statistics to secure birth and death records.

(Most of them are not kept prior to 1903, and you have to get them from tombstones, churches or relatives).

8. Church records will reveal baptismal and marriage dates and names and of whom they were the children of.

9. Consult ot(ilitary service records. For example: Texas State Archives, Austin, Texas; or the National Archives, Washington 25, D.C. Often you find where some of your people fought in wars.

10. Check census records in libraries you visit. The Houston Public Library has the Texas census for 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. Other libraries may have other census of other years in your town, city, or county . Check them if you need further information and can't find it.

11. Check your county or city history books in your libraries or other record books Which you may find something of

your family. Sometimes in checking histories of these kind, you may find where some of your people participated in something which you didn't know about.

Proves interesting sometimes.

12. You can even obtain your Crest or Coat or Arms — if you care to go that far — and if one is listed for your family. You get this information from New York Public Library — and even a picture for a onall fee, of course. Very nice to have and use as a decorative piece in your den. A Coat of Arms is a symbol or insigna used in distinguishing one family from another.

These are about the best points to go by if you have to but most of the time. you will find that the people still living will be the most help, except exact dates, etc., which you will have to check Then there may be some families that Will have to do a great deal of checking. At any rate, if I can be of any help, don't fail to call on me. It is very simple once you get started, and so very, very interesting. Collect your data page by page in a loose-leaf notebook, beginning with your own and so on upward till you come to the family pioneers that settle here, and all the extra history you can find in your entire family along the way, Mail me a copy and I will use as much of same as I will be allowed to. Pictures too, of old log houses, pioneers, etc. Usable ones will be copied and returned.

This book will be published and sold to anyone who wishes to purchase them at the lowest nominal fee, and the same shall be placed in all libraries for future references, and thus the glory of the Czech people's history shall live on forever and not be forgotten.

The large crowd stayed righ along with us.

We want to thank all our members who workeld so hard, also the ones who donated anything to our ledge as with out your help it couldn't be done.

—) • 4 • ( WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: Today Pin going to give you a cabbage recepe. Cabbage as you know, is very rich in minerals and vitamins, important to+ our nutrition for maintenance of our health.

Many •of you will remember the large earthen crocks on our farms where home made kraut was being processed through fermentation from the cabbage from our gardens. If one got downwind to such a crock, a whiff would stop you in your tracks until you realized what it was.

Anyway, for centuries, home made kraut and home grown p o t a toe s, sus tained many of our Czech ancestors and they thrived handy on it so to alter this lowly fare, recepes were devised from fresh cabba ge to alleviate monotony.

Cabbage soup was one of them Here I give you a wonderful French Recepe which came from a French Convent, but Which our grandmothers of long ago ,served with crusty or hard rye bread for breakfast (they had no coffee), or at noon or evening meals. It is very

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS nutritious, inexpensive and easy to prepare and is enjoyed by everyone who has sampled it's delicious and delicate flavor. If you were not told, you could not tell it contained cabbage at all.

One-half of a medium, green variety, cabbage shredded, together with one large potato, pared and sliced thin; one large onion also sliced thin and cookeld in a heavy iron or aluminum saucepan in a very small amount of water (about (four tablespicans), tightly covered. When mixture is tender enough to mash with a potato masher, mash it and acid three cups milk, salt and pepper to taste, and butter about the size of an egg. Heat until hot and serve with grated cheese sprinkled on top, together with crusty French Bread. It's so good.

Remember the Sweet-Sour Cabbage, mother used to serve. Here's a recepe using red cabbage, although the ordinary green variety is just as ,good.

For a serving oisix : Remove outer leaves from a medium sized head of red or green cabbage, wash, core and slice.

Add one medium sweet onion sliced, two large apples, peeled and sliced. Toss together. Simmer together in a saucepan with one heaping tablespoon of bacon fat,one teaspoon salt, one-half cup sugar, one cup vinegar, not too strong a solution of vinegar, if you have canning vinegar at home, one and one-half cup water, one bay lealf, two whole allspice, two cloves (hea(ds removed). Cover and simmer for one and one-half hours. Then thicken slightly with about two tablespoons of cornstarch blended in a little cold water.

This dish is especially good with wild game of any kind and is excellent (like all kraut and cabbage dishes) reheated.

Peaches have started coming in and many of you will be busy as bees with this canning. When the fruit starts coming, one has to catch it at its peak of ripeness and get it into jars and freezers as fast as possible to preserve its goodness. It's too much fruit to eat up fresh at once anid, as it ripens the homemaker Must be ready for it which keeps her pretty close to the kitchen and stove.

Then her pantry shelves start to groan with her garden's harvest and her industry in preserving it.

We have had a bountiful crop of plums here at West this year, and we all tried to share this bounty with those who don't have plum trees. There is a blessed feeling — this sharing of one's abundance. Besides the satisfaction, of giving, one receives twofold. While this sharing was a lot oil fun, for example, I learned of a method+ of* putting up plum jelly, jam or preserves, as one may wish, from such an exchange. This good lady told me how her mother and her grand-

Strana 23 I mother put up preserves by baking them in the oven for an hour or hour and a half, (depending upon the amount of iuice the fruit produces), to the desired Consistency. Pound for pound of fruit and sugar was put into a large pan, with high sides so that the juice would not bubble over, just in case, (I used my large roaster) and at the lowest mark on your oven thermostat, the nsoisture evaporated to desired consistency. This m et had keeps the mixture from burning, and constant stirring — doesn't need to be watched and is delicious.

When done, the contents, of course, are poured and sealed in sterilized jars.

'These Rydel girls are smart and our thanks for sharing this treasured family recepe. Especially to Mrs. Ester HlavatY, (she was a Rydel once, you know).

Here's wishing you all the best of health, good cooking, canning, freezing and I hope you had a happy Fourth.

Be careful, we don't want anything to happen to any of you. We are all needed in our places, ba the place ever so inconspicuous in God's plan. It's important.

Bless you all.
