ROCNIK (VOLUME) XLIX Cislo (No.) 38

NECO KRAT5I110 K PREMITSLENI Pakli jste meli pratele prilaitost poznp,ti lid vgech raznYch vrstev a povoldni, mohli jste zajiste seznat, Ze east() z tech nejskromnej gich, nejchudgich z to lidske spoleenosti mohli jste odekavat vice moudrosti a prosteho vtipu, neZ z to tak zvane lep gi tidy.

Tak se nom easto zdalo, kdy pozorovali jsme to az zaraZejici neteenost mnohYch, ae snad je i lepe takovYm dem, kteri se vabec (mime, jidla a piti) o nic nezajimaji a jen si hledi sveho Zivot jim plyne neosobniho pohodli. rugene, nenamahaji se premY glet a kdy si jen hledi sveho, nikdo nideha neztrati. Sant se doekame ov gem kaZdY, jenZe ten ktery premY gli, tomes stale neco schazi, proto Ze by rad neco yYznamneho usktueenil.

Ona je to snad jen to na ge predstava, jakYsi prelud, a k posledku to s nami snalivci dopadne pray& tak jak s temi "nemyslicimi". Mnoho o tom psati, nema vYznamu v dne gni dobe, kdy v gechno se jen s chvatem odbYva. — Nektere stoje ktere zde probirame jsou z nagich zaZitkach, tedy brane ze Zivota a easto v odpoved' na nekterY kladenY nom dotaz.

Co se tyre udrZeni ee gtiny zde v nagi nave vlasti opakuji co jsem pa raznu tvrdil, ae zaleli na rodieich by ditkam vysvetlili, ze mohou vyuZitkovat prileZitost naueiti se nagi feel i Ze tim poslouZi jenom sami sobe. Mnozi si totiZ mysli, Ze tim rodietim prokazuji nejakou milost a Ze rodiee jim maji bYti vdeeni, as se jem poskytuje moZnost dalgich vedomosti.

Na vgech stranach se o tom hovori a pige, ae znalost ee gtiny usnadni 1 stadium jinYch slovanskYeh reci, coZ v dnegni dobe jest velice ceneno. Tedy pro e s nehovorit na na ge ditky &sky kdy2 jsme toho jazyk• schopne? Zajiste jim to ugkodit nemilZe. Nage prikIady tea maji v to yeti velkY vYznam. asi nag e jednani zanecha u mladdi rdoj em, kdy cele odpoledne v nagich schtzich hovorime anglicky a ke konci chceme zpivat "Hej Slovane" Nezda se yam to smegne?

Dnes toto yam mile etenaki pi gi, protote mom klidnY weer a uplimne prani, abychom se to nagi inlade generaci Pledstavili v tom nejlep girn svetle a to pki katde priletitosti. Ne gkodi, kdy nos nekdo °boas upozorni, abychom jednali obezrele v nagich schazich, zabavach vizbee v kaZdem podnikani. — Bud`me za takove upozorneni poydedni.

V prvni lade rodietim a pak nom vgem je ponechand zodpovednost a na vuli zanechati ,ditkam priklady, .ktere sebou do Zivota ponesou. Dobro necht' jest odmeneno dobrem a gpatnost, zaslouZenYm trestem.

Nerikejme, Ze na to v ge nemame Casu. Jest to pouze vYmluva a povZdy na to pamatujme, Ze na ge sna Z s eni s dal je muae zachovati, zachraniti pled mravni zahubou, jeZ snadno stihne ty, kteri jsme v mladi zanedbali.

Chceme zaliste aby mladeZ na ge spolky a to na ge naradni a spolkove sna2eni mela v ucte. Poradani eeskeho dne na nag i statni vYstave v Dallas nam skYta, prilelitost, ,abychom se nejen pled americkou verejnosti, ale pied na, gi vlastni

Pfece vgak vam teknu, ge posledni mesic bylo pro nag okrsek ten nejlep gi jakSr jsme kdy meli a to zvla gte zasluhou dvouch organisatorti, kterY'rn se podatilo prodat yetgl pojistky.

Byli to bratti E. R. Jakubik z Snook a bratr Siptak z Caldwell oba dva dobri pracovnici ye sy3"7ch starch osadach Snook a Caldwell i srdeene diky jim za ptleineni.

Dnes v pondell dosud trva hurikAn o nemZ jste jiste jig slyseli nekolik dlovek na venku bYti nemt ge vitr fuel a pri torn chvilkama vice nebo merle pri a tale sedime doma. PaslouchOnie zpravy jak ten hurikan pokraeuje a doufame, ge se vybouti bez velikSrch g kod a negtesti.

Ja sam z toho mac strachu nemarn myslim si, ge po eem nic moc neni, se mu tak lehko nic nemage stat. Co to piglu tak nejsou hla geny ztraty na, Zivotech a doufame, ge se to bez toho obejde.

Nekteri bratti ml ikali, ge se jim bil miii zaba,vnk dopis, kterSr jsem nedal/no mei. ve Vestniku a ge nee° takoyeho marn zas napsat.

Oto by tak nebylo, jen ge eloyek nerad a na sebe ledajakYi pribeh prozrazuje a o drulikch psat, to by se mi tepry nevyplatila. Prece yam ale napigu co se mi ptihodilo a zase v tam byla genska. Byla sice "Siko yna," a je gte mlai obleeend byla jak nynej gi dobu se ty Eviny sestry oblekaji a vite, ge moderni Zenska, ma na sobe merle gate ye dne, — ne gli ma jeji bableka na sobe kdyg jde spat. — No, ale k veci, anYthow bylo to ylete a bylo, horko tak ,kdo by na sebe ve gel nepottebne gaty?

Jedeme s tim mojim kamaradem a kde se vzala tu se vzala stoji na ceste kara a mlada genske, se namaha ptedelat spare tire na kolo. — Nikoho jineho videt nebylo co by ji mohl pomoci.

Tak my jsme na jeji pokyn zastavili, ge ji tedy pomageme, vite, ge organisator nesmi propast Zadnou ptile gitost z ktere by mohla koukat prileZdtost prodat pojistku.

Mysleli jsme, kdyg ji pomfigeme, by mohla, se stat, Ze ona z vdeenosti si od nas mogna, pojistku koupi a ge by ji

VESTNt K — WEST, TEXAS do Jednoty prijali, o tom jsme nepochybovali.

Tedy jsme oba pekne "raf" ptedelali a ge spustime zas karu z jacku dolu. Ona mela karu vygroubovanou na tom tak zvanem "bumper jack" a tak nas upozornila, aby prk jsme Bali dobrYT pozor, aby nam kara moc nahle snad nespadla, ge totig jeji mug spi na zadnim sedadle a ge by se mohI zbudit.

No tu mas derte kropad. My jsme si mysleli ge delame dobrY skutek a ono to zatim zadalo vypadat na eisto jinae a to nas oba jaksi jak tikame "doZralo" a sice tak, Ze jsme i na to pojiSt'ovani 'zapoineli a jell jsme dal. Ale prosim Vas nerikejte to yagim genam oni by to mohli het nag im a kcloZ vi jak by to na konec dopadlo.

Byl-li svobodtekl, "Main celS7 rok a chci-li nejakY ten cent na bal na atratu muslin tatu pane prosit."

Kolikrat by otec rad dal, ale kdy g byli dva i tri, musel na chlapcich getrit, kdyg sam nemel nebo mei malo. Na priklad: co s toho farmati maji letos, leda tu drinu a vydaje s tim spojene: Nateki malo, nekteri nic. Nu, vime my farmarl sami to nejlepe, mtiZeme posoudit.

Kdy g my stall. jsrne zaeinali rolnieit, zadli jsme taktka z nideho. Dnes kdyg by farat mei yybavoyat syna, nestaei pet tisic a coZ kdyby met dva, tti?

Reports from our Lodges, or any other Reading Material to be pubBENEVOLENT ORDER lished should reach the Editor, OF THE STATE OF TEXAS Saturday before the date of issue.

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE MIST, Box 400, TEMPLE, TEX.

EDITOR'S DESK Apprimal of Our Property The property which you own is the reward of your work and the basis of general well ;)eing. In, this respect and in this regard many Of our viewpoints are different and oceans apart, for the "new dogma" there stresses, that all property should belong to the whole state and belong to all, collectively.

Let us then, discuss this new ideology and I shall try to convince you, that ownership in whatever form is still the right, to 11S0 this particular object or thing, which unequivocally belongs to you without contest.

No one is coerced to agree with me, but I know that any discussion conducted in an orderly manner, can hurt no one, regardless of his convictions, and perhaps we can even gain adherents of those who have never given this new ideology any consideration.

The success of the future of our efforts will be strengthened by our belief that to each, should go that, which he has earned with his honest toil in life.

Our freedom to dispose of our property Which we have accumulated through our efforts, is the strongest motivation to work hard in our many and various fields of endeavor.

The conception of ownership is exemplary — even a child discerns between his and that of others. Even the bushman of prehistoric times would not surrender his kill nor the club • with which he killed it and which he made himself.

True ownership is difficult to designate, especially in the progressive countries of the world. That which I wear — is mine and should someone take the handkerchief from JrAy pocket, he has appropriated my property. It isn't public property.

Of course, it is impossible for us to carry all of our property around with es, like the farmer his tractor and other implements, or a merchant his merchandise, the laborer his tools, or the doctor all of his instruments and equipment.

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."

In this case we understand that, that Which is one's property is so because it is upon one's land, our 'property, in one's home and in one's office or workshop.

Personal porperty is that property classified as one's money, goods, furnishings, machinery, etc. in things that can be moved from place to place. Then there is that property which . cannot be moved from place to place such as land, homes, woods, factories and others.

This latter property too, is one's personal property, but is more difficult to prove. When someone states that he has purchased a hare, he has to prove it by law. Our laws give us the certificate of proof in the prescribed format, which bears witness as to who may be regarded the rightful owner of said home, land, woods, factory, etc.

This type of thing is necessary when we realize, that many times titles to property can be a tangled affair. In spite of complications, our laws protect the individual rights of every citizen and not take it away from the individual as the new ideology falsely proclaims that it is for the good of the whole nation. This I do not believe.

It has been demonstrated that one's property and well being, benefits all

classes of people. Everyone, tnen, serves the welfare of the people who work and increases in wealth. If such work is to be defended, we must defend each, individual's property, which is after all the fruits of his honest toil, for it has been demonstrated in those countries where the fruits of one's labor is not defended, all incentive to hard work and thrift is gone; even punishment does not help.

A person who is striving to acquire his own property, is not a selfish person, as it has been painted. Work is the expending of one's strength, energy, mind, his whole being and if a person were not assured of the fruit of this expending of one's energies, he would work only as little as necessary to assure him a handto-mouth existence, and would not have thought into the future. Let's then realize that peiservuing and honestly rewarding work helps the general well being of all the people.

When one would deny us ownership of our home on our land, which we built from our hard earned savings, then such a person with, brute lorce destroys all motivation in a person to build, to save and do a public service to develop the country in which he dwells.

Finally, who would sacrifice his sa y right of ownership of it and the land right of ownership of it and the load upon which it stands; to be certain that the state wouldn't take it froIrr him: should one's business or industry grow; that it would not be taken from him, to lose all that was put into the development of that business or industry and all of his personal efforts.

In those countries where there is collective management, it leads only to the poverty in the land with the perpetual sharing with the poor and the rich, for the lazy persons would soon spend their share, only to try to share and share again and again.

Then the individual would have to surrender all of This belongings, to receive in turn only that which he really needs; no one would without compulsion care to work and struggle, the land would deplete, cattle unattended would die of neglect and the collective would

What Is a Fraternal Society A fraternal benefit society is defined as an order organized and carried on for the sole benefit of the members. The urge of brotherhood is older than history Fraternalism has existed in many fontras throughout the ages of man. In ancient times, families banded together in groups to protect each other.

In the middle ages, trade guilds were formed for rnutulal protection, betterment of the trade, to render assistance in times of sickness and misfortune, and to enjoy feasts and other various festivities. Later, the British Friendly Societies were organized in which members were united in a common cause for the mutual benefit and protection of each other.

The, history of fraternalism parallels the history of the new world in many respects.

Before the oppressed humanity began to cross the Atlantic in search of a new home in America, the desire for a better life found expression in the organization of societies for social and friendly purposes. Once America was settled, fraternal societies in the country kept pace with the growth of a rapidly expanding ,nation, and just as our nation itself has assumed world leadership, so to have the fraternal societies in this country. One of those in its 64th year of existence is our SPJST founded in La Grange, Texas.

When people are closely bound by the ties of fraternity, they can and do protect each other against the results of all sorts of insurable hazards such as financial reverses and family misfortunes of all kinds. This is actually being done in thousands of cases. Families in distress are provided with the necessities of life, are visited and cared for, and made to feel that their fellow-men have a real sympathetic interest in their personal welfare. Let us all be proud that we are members of our Slavonic Benevolent Order of Texas. aA • STANDING OF 10 FIRST LODGES, IN MEMBERSHIP GAINS IN 1961 UP TO SEPT. 1 Lodge Members Ins.

The first thing, after Bro. Leshikar opened the meeting, was a standing min-

Strana 19 rl ute of silent prayer for Bro. Wendelin Kirchner, who passed away from injuries sustained in an auto mishap. He was our hallkeeper. We were all sorry to lose him, as he and his wife kept our hall very nicely for the last four or five years. He will be remembered 'for a long time.

Fraternally, Rose Mikolaj ) • 4 • NOVE KVETY LODGE 35, ELK, TEXAS Dear Members and Friends: The meeting, which was held Sept 10 ,1961, was called to order by President Rudolf Zalman.

The minutes of the last, meeting were read by substitute Brother Theo. Bordovsky. They were approved as read.

Na new members were submitted. Bro. Zalman asked for the report of various committees which were all very successful and record breakers.

Strana 20 No unfinished business was submitted at this time.

Under new business it was decided that we appoint a sick committee. Brother Zahnan urged that at our next traeeting we elect a member to send a card and to visit the sick patient in order to express and practice our fraternal feelings.

Our sympathy is extended the John Pavelka family of Robstown, Texas Brother Pavelka died Sept. 2, 1961 after an extended illness.

Fraternally yours, Norma Pavelka, reporter h_tt) • 4 • WEST SPJST LODGE NO. 54 Dear Sisters and Brothers: Our meeting last Sunday wash held as always, by following the Youth' meeting.

Our attendance was rather small, I am sure it was due to the change of date as most everyone is used to coming to the meetings on the first Sunday of the month. This change was done because o fthe Penelope Bazaar.

Pledge of Allegiance was said, minutes were read and approved.

A moment of silence was held in memory of our 50 year member Brother Joe K. Marek who passed away on Sept. 2nd at the age of 77 years. Services were held at the Aderhold-Moore Chapel, Rev. John Bravenec officiated with burial in the National Cemetery. He is survived by one sister Annie K. Marek and one brother, Rudolph K. Marek of Abbott.

We all were glad to see Brother Emil Matus who is in the Marlin Hospital for treatment come to the meeting. He looks much better now but still has to go back to the hospital as he is still taking treatments.

Even though our crowd was small, those of us who were present feel we have accomplished much by having the 'Hall and Property committees to cut, and burn all the weeds on the parking Jots around the hall and to clean the poison ivy which is on trees on the south side parking lots, to repair and paint the sign above the stage, to have

VEST N't K — WEST, TEXAS the floors waxed all around where the tables are set and also on the new added floor, this is very much needed as cold drinks are spilt and cause the floor to turn black.

Four new members joined our lodge, namely, Kenneth B. Darden of Waco, Jo Ann Wolfe, Too-acne Wolfe and Joe A. Wolfe all of West. We welcome all of you into our Lodge and we hope to see you at our meetings.

I am glad to say there were no sick members on the sick bn.

Our next meeting will be postponed again one week later, which will be Oct 10th as the Abbott Parish will have their Bazaar in our hall on the first Sunday.

So don't forget our meeting on Oct. 10th.

Fraternally, Bennie Soukup ao rels SOKOL FORT WORTH Dear Members and Friends.

This past Labor Day weekend my family and I took time to visit a popular little community in South Texas. We were invited by the Frank Tesar family to accompany them to their home town.

Shiner. Of course, it was difficult to turn this request down, and after having been in Shiner, we are glad that we didn't.

Leaving Fort Worth in two cars, just prior to noon, we motored to Temple via highway 81 and then travelled down highway 95 to our destination. The early start relieved us of traffic difficulties and the drive was very pleasant. The countryside south of Tonnple is very refreshing, with average sized, well-kept farms strung along the highway, plenty of green cotton fields containing pormds and pounds of cotton bolls; there were also many productive corn fields, nice rolling hills with plenty of shade trees, and just a few unkept farm lands or dilapidated houses. The roads are in very good condition and travelling at a normal rate of speed offered no hazards or discomfort.

We passed through many predominantly Czech communities, but did not stop except for refueling the cars. Perhaps it was just as well that we didn't stop too often, as the temperature kept rising (air conditioning a car is still a luxury to us) and we were beginning to feel pangs of hunger. Our arrival in Shiner was just a few minutes before 5:00 p.m.

The Spoetzel brewery was a half-block from the highway, and we stopped to see if we could see the plant in operation.

But, we were informed that 5:00 p.m was closing time and no tours would be conducted for the entire weekend. They did assure us that we could watch the bottling operation on Saturday morning,

Wednesday, September 20, 1961 if we wished to return there. We were introduced to the brewineister, Mr. Schramm, a Mr. "Speedy" and we renewed our short acquaintance with Felix liybner. Saturday we were allowed to witness the large Araachines filling bottles, capping the bottles, impurity checks and labeling of the bottles. This is a sample of automation and how it works. The next time we return to visit Shiner, we hope to have more time to see the methods used in mixing the ingredients, the use o ithe large vats and the different processes that assure a good, quality product.

From the brewery we proceeded to Mrs. Mary Tesar's father's house. Mr. August Kubecka, a long time resident of Shiner, a retired cotton farmer, was eagerly awaiting our arrival. It took us very little three to get acquainted and "settled clown." Shartly, one of Mary's nephews, Kenny Kubecka, came over and, relieved the monotony for our two boys. Their acquaintance hit off well right from the start and we hardly saw our boys except at night. Mary's daughter, Maryanne, took off to stay with her girl cousins, Mildred and Maryann. the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Tesar.

Johnny Tesar made himself available whenever needed, but we noticed that he took every advantage he could to get acquainted with the many pretty girls that live in Shiner.

After cleaning up and enjoying a refreshing meal, we went to see the football game between Shiner and Hallettsvine high schools. One of the stars of the Shiner tease; was a nephew of Marv's Frankie Kubecka, son of Mr. and Mrs Gus Kubecka. The Shiner boys won 26 to 12 in a thrilling game, which was cleanly played and only a few minor injuries to the players. The bands of each school played during the game and at half time. Each band played well, had lovely uniforms and good looking ma. jorettes.

After the game, Frankie Kubecka couldn't hold food in his stomach, so he was taken to the local hospital, out through some tests and under close observation. His spleen was supposed to have been brused, although by looking at Frankie, who was cheerful as could be, nothing seemed wrong. We hope that he will be able to continue to play in a couple of weeks, without injury, as he is a necessary asset to his team.

On Saturday, we visited our first cotton gin, Farmers Co-Op, which obliged us by allowing our watching the processing of cotton from bulk into bales. It is fascinating to see the small, white fluffs of cotton skimming along from machine to machine, and finally ending pup compressed into a bale. The cotton lint flies

everywhere, but no one minds this, as the cotton represents the yield of hard, tedious, patient labor performed in hot, dusty fields. The crops haven't been as promising this year, and many of the cotton farmers will experience a trying winter, hoping that the next season in 1921 will reverse their misfortune of this year.

After seeing the cotton gin in operation, we proceeded to the other major means of providing work in Shiner. This Was at the Kaspar Wire Works, which fabr*ates almost any kind of Wire basket imaginable. Displays of their products were hung on the beams of the machine shop. Each time we shall push a grocery cart, we will wonder if this was a product of Kaspar's. Just a few men were working, and we could not see the actual wire cutting, forming, spot welding or assembling of the baskets, but we can mentally picture the place as active as a beehive on the regular working days.

Later in the morning we visited. the town's well maintained cemetery and paid our respects to the family dead.

From there we drove around the town and were. shown Ladmarks and some very pretty homes. Sunday afternoon, we visited Felix Hybner's family at his spacious home. We interrupted them in their preparation to attend an afternoon wedding at S.S. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Shiner. We met Mrs Hybner's mother, who has been an invalid for a few years. She was pleased to Meet us, as we were to meet her. Their four youngest children were at home, each a picture of health. The oldest girl, Joan was so friendly, that I could have taken her home as my daughter. We enjoyed the short get together and promised to see than again later in the day and on Sunday.

Saturday evening we were invited to a barbecue dinner at Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kubecka. They have a lovely, new home with a nice big, deep lot; on a well paved street, with plenty of shade trees. They had hamburgers and sausage that were as if processed at home, they were so tasty. The meats were prepared by Patek's meat market, well known for quality products. After dinner, we proceeded to a wedding dance at Wied. The crowd was overflowing, the evening was rather Warm, the bride and groom made a lovely couple; and the remainder of the wedding party, the bridesmaids wore pretty blue formals and the groom's attendants wore full dress suits. The Adolph Migl band played, and the dance floor filled up in a hurry once the music began. The only thing that was disconcerting was the playful running of little boys (some barefoot) at top speed be-

Strana 22 tween the dancing couples. All had a good time and I'm sure the newly married coule had a dance to be proud of, and we •hope that they enjoy the lifelong years of married life in happiness and fruitfulness.

Sunday dawned bright and clear and we attended the 9:30 a.m. Mass at S.S. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church.

The church is pretty inside, and the pio;neerse of the town ra-mst be given credit \for erecting such, a nice place for worship. The Mass was well attended,. and it was nice to see that the parishioners hold on to their faith by duly attending Mass each Sunday. After church, and after changing into more comfortable clothes, we gravitated toward Legion Park, where the annual parish picnic is held. People were crowding the park grounds and some were standing in line before the kitchen, awaiting the serving of dinner. The dinner line seemed a block long, and it kept filled until about 1:30 p.m. when more than 1200 people had been served meals. The food. was very tasty, especially the kolaches, stew meat and pastries, Each could eat to his fill, and no one failed to do so. Those eating earlier had a choice of chicken, and that must have been well prepared, because they ran out of chicken meat in little over an hour's time.

At about 2:00 p.m. Patek's band began to serenade the young and old with their music. Besides all the old time tunes, "Woode,n Heart" was a favorite requect. Those healthy looking Patek boys and uncle certainly are talented and well deserve their good reputation.

About 3:00 p.m. the music halted and the chant of the auctioneer took over.

Donated goods from cotton, quilts, canned goods to school buses, cattle, goats, geese, and rabbits were bid on by the audience. A couple of bales of cotton sold for $1 a pound, others went at about 75c a pound, purchased by civic-minded parishioners who wished to ensure the success of the picnic. In the meantime other carnival games were in progress and all were well attended. The Most popular spot for the young fry was the ,soda water stand, and the older people congregated at the outdoor bar. Those bartenders definitely earned their aches and pains, as they were kept constantly busy removing tops from bottles. The The picnic is a big reunion, and those born and raised in Shiner who have moved elsewhere to gain a livelihood, return a minimum of this one day in the year to renew old acquaintances and gain some new ones. Everyone radiated cheerfulness and made strangers welcome, exhibiting real "old country" hospitality.

V .t7 S T N K WEST, TEXAS The picnic slacked down for a little while after the auction was completed, but after dark, the grounds were full of humanity. It seemed as if everyone was there. Then, the Patek nand once more grasped their instruments and began to play for the scheduled dance in the pavilion. Everyone got on the floor, even the stag boys, filling up nearly every available empty space. Each enjoyed the music and the dancing, even the stags, I guess. The boys crowded as close to the dancers as they could, but just short of singling out a girl and dancing with her — so close, yet so far away. We regretfully left early (11:00 p.m.) to be able to get some rest before starting our journey North in the morning.

While living in Fort Worth, we little realize how many of our friends had originally lived at Shiner, or had relatives there. We met Mrs. Francis Krenek, sister to Frank Prochaska, Sr.'s first wife; Mrs. Elizabeth Siegel, sister to Mr. John Hlas; Mrs. Josephine Rusnovsky, sister of Bohus Maly, Mrs. Bessie Prochaska, Ivirs. Frank Kadlecek and Mrs. Jack Rice; a Mrs. Rieke, a relative to the Foytek family.

Then we also met Mr. and Mrs. Jim Dusek, who are the parents of Mrs. Francis Tesar. We. were introduced to Mr, and Mrs. Joe Hybner, former owners of the Hybner Dairy, and after much looking around, we met Mr. Joseph Muras, insurance agent, who accompanied Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Tirk, my dad and mother, to Europe last year. Last, but not least, we met so many of Mary Tesar's cousins_ we cannot recall the names except for Stella and Edward Kurtz.

To top all the people we met, we ran into the splitting imagl of Otto Kurtz, who now resides in Fort Worth. This man, Charlie Patek, except for his weight and being a family man, could easily be taken as Otto's brother. They laughed so alike, have the same facial expressions and carefree attitudes, that the similiartity must be due to being related, and so it was, we found out, that they were cousins.

I nearly overlooked another relative of a good friend of ours. We met Mrs. Bennie Simper, who is a, cousin to Mrs. Alex Bunker.

On Monday morning we got up early, packed up our suitcases, picked up our order of klobase and started traveling a little after 8:00 a.m. We left many new friends who we hope to meet again either in Shiner or in Fort Worth. The Sunclay picnic is something to experience, especially to have so many of the Czech and German nationality mingling with each other, renewing of old friendships

Wednesday, September 20, 1961 and comparing notes of events that have occurred since last seeing each other.

Shiner is a pretty town, a bright star among the communities of Texas, and deserving of the proud "my home town" feeling of its sons and daughters.

The trip back to Fort Worth was uneventful, although we experienced a little heavier traffic and saw a few state patrolmen containing the speed of the cars driving on the highways. We regret the trip didn't last long and that we were unable to visit some or the SPJST lodge halls that abound in that vicinity.

We hope we ca,n make those visits next time. It was nice to get back to our home and settle back into our old routine, and then think back to the richness of memories of the people we had met, things We had done and seen.

Our Sokol calendar still shows the following events to occur: Saturday, September 30, 1961 — Dance Sunday, October 29, 1961 — SPJST District Three Meeting Sunday, November 5, 1961 — Children's Competition Slet and Dinner Wednesday, November 22, 1961 — Thanksgiving Eve Dance.

He stated as follows: "The brief history of RVOS is in the material we have supplied for you today." Your present membership is 108 and it would be a good idea and to the good of your own benefit if you would check your own policy and see if you have enough insurance.

Wednesday, September 20, 1901 three members to his quota of ten new members.

antly! It's things such as this that separate the children from the mature men and women it adds' starch to one's backbone. I know — we almost lost our older son in tile 1032 hurricane when the kitchen wall was knocked in, on the bed he had been sleeping on fitfully only minutes earlier. V e had no roof, so the water was lee king on his head. I picked him up oed went into another part of the house when this occurred.

We didn't have a thy thing in the house — it took all WI CC:7, to get clothes dried out to where they could be stored. The frustrating thing in our hurricane in 1932 was that it t aiord for two or three days afterward. We had _a grocery store — and took a trailer load of soaked and ruined things to the dump. We ate our groceries from the cans,. never knowing what we would eat until we opened the can for the labels were gone. Yes, I know what a hurricane is. Believe one, "It shall all pass." In the meantime, we all love you and are thinking of you in your trying moments.

For the more fortunate ones, who have a dry house, warm clothing etc. I would like to give you a recepe for a baked steak, which is delicious, calling for capers and thadiera wine.

Strana 23 which won popularity, second only to the Vienna Schnitzel. Many of cur Czech mothers, who left their native country of Vienna, to learn the cooking trade, learned to make this wonderful recepe.

Vienna's Esterhazy Baked Steak You will need a three pound round steak, cut 11/2 inches thick.

Four carrots, coarsely chopped; two onions, coarsely chopped; two parsnips, coarsely chopped (if avallei)le); two stalks celery, coarsely chopped; threefour tablespoons shortenine or butter (it preferred); one and one-half tablespoons flour; one-fourth cup eour cream; one cup meat stock (or bullion in cup of water); two tablespoons thick brown butter sauce; two teaspoons tappers; one teaspoon paprika; salt-pepper and one-fourth cup Madiera, wine (or other red wine will also do).

Sauter the coarsely chopped vegetables in the hot shortening and when soft, sprinkle them with the flour and blend in well with sour cream and meat stock, the brown butter sauce (made by browningtwo tablespoons flour in one tablespoon butter, one-half teaspoon brown sugar and one-fourth cup cold :a'eat stock, bullion, or water to make a smooth brown sauce) then add the capers and paprika.

This was the !favorite recepe for the Now — take the thick steal: and sear Hungarian noble family, the Esterhazy's• They were a very rich, powerful family both sides lightly with hot fat quickly which we can forgive them since they and well. Dot well with butter and slide did give Vienna such a marvelous recepe under your broiler for •a minute or two

WEST, TEXAS

Dear Girls: Now that all of us Texans have sweated out Hurricane Carla and its effects, got the debris raked up in the yard, stuck leaves swept off the house, we're back in business.

Not all of us got off so lightly — many of our Czech, families have a long reconstruction period to get their properties in shape. To say "we are sorry" sounds so inadequate —only one who has gone through nature's wrath such as this last hurricane can really know how hopeless and desperate it is coming back to re-organize one's home and pick up and dry out one's possessions. Those of 'you who do find yourselves in such a situation, please know, that one's life is the most precious possession there is; all of this other can be acquired again.

It makes you stink out that chin as far as it will go — and roll up your sleeves and get to it. One doesn't mind the work, if health and family happiness can be had while doing it. In years, looking back, you will agree that it was tough, but that you made it; that nothing else will ever phase you again. We all fervently pray for you — for your inner strength to see this through triumph-

A Coiiection Dear Brother Editor, The ones in the picture are right to left: Anna Rose Divis, daughter of Brother Joe and Sister Vlasta Divis, Bro. Frank alinkovsky . Jr., son of Brother.

Frank and Sister Irma. Klinkovsky, and Sister Janette Hruska, daughter of Brother John and Sister Vlasta Hruska.

Brother Frank Klinkovsky Jr., is the District II Junior Talent Contest winner.

Sincerely, Mrs. Clara

Strana 24 for each side. Season the steak with the salt-pepper. Place in a large casserole with a tight fitting cover and add the sauce just made. Adjust the cover tand bake in a moderate oven 325-350 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove cover and add the Madiera wine. Replace the cover and bake an additional five minutes. If possible, serve in the casserole, 'with rice or noodles. Yum-yum!

I baked the oatmeal cake which Vestnik ran a few issues back and wrapped it in foil and stored it in my refriegerator freezer. Today I popped the foil-wrapper cake into a warming oven and it's delicious — like fresh. What a nice school lunch dessert as well as nutritious — for the children.

Thanks to so many of you who have expressed delight over the recepes, I too enjoyed them.

Especially thankful am I to those good sisters who take the time and trouble to sit down and write up and mail Vestnik these recepes. We share in this good cooking, making for a new AmericanCzech cooking heritage, taking the best from both nationalities for the eating pleasures of our families as well as economical. We always have to keep our eye on the practical and economical.

Every once in a while a tancy recepe this Vienna baked steak is nice for special days, such as Birthday for the bread winner of the house who likes meat in any form — or company. The children too, may enjoy a bit of this special rich meat with its sauce and vegetables. A small portion won't hurt them.

May I appeal to those of you who have extra clothing, outgrown, but good, extra blankets not needed, to channel these items NOW into the disaster area which Hurricane Carla made 2 It's going to cool off rapidly now, school children need clothing and charity does begin at home — Texas. It's like "bread upon the water" it comes back to you.

So until next time, stay well, happy and beautiful as ever.

Reports From Local Lodges LODGE NO. 15 RUCKHOLTS Dear Sisters and Brothers: With this letter, I wish to clear up a little misunderstanding among some of our members and several dance orchestras, that were of the opinion that Vrazels would no longer manage the hall.

It is true that the hall was put up for lease a month earlier. We did this because the later you lease, the less choice

.Vt STNIK — WEST, TEXAS you have of getting the music you want.

Vrazel Bros. will have charge of the hall in 1962, and they also have an option on the lease for 1963. Therefore, our hall will be under the same management and will provide the same type of entertainment that it bas in the past.

The date picked for our annual picnic in 1962 is July lst. This is the 65th anniversary of our SPJST Fraternal Order. We ask that our neighboring lodges reserve this date for us, please.

A few weeks ago, Lee Ilse and his Orchestra of La Grange played at our hall and drew one of the largest crowds that we had this year. Lee Ilse and his Orchestra will play here again on Sept. 30th, and Vrazel's Polka Band will join them to make it a battle dance. Dancing from 9:00 o'clock to 1:00 o'clock. If you missed out on Lee Ilse's first appearance here, make plans to attend the Sept. 30th dance.

If any orchestras wish to contact our hall manager, you may write to Anton Vrazei, Route 2, Buckholts, Texas.

Thanking you for your past patronage, and looking forward to your presence at our future dances, I remain Fraternally yours, Steve L. avetlik Secretary ) 6 alb • (— ATTENTION DISTRICT FIVE MEMBERS This coming Sunday, the 24th is the' date of our State Contest to be held at Lodge Praha in Taylor.

Those coming from the north on Highway 77 takeing left at "Y" will take the first street right after passing the third traffic light and follow this street which is Shelton St. all the way to the hall.

The rest of the program will be announced by district youth leader or secretary.

I remain, Fraternally yours, Frank Eisik, Secty.

In case of rain this will be postponed one week later.

Fraternally, Willie Janicek • —.) • KOVAR, TEXAS Dear brothers and sisters: I am happy to report that the last Inonth's insurance sales are the best yet in our District One. We have sold $34,000•durihg August,

Wednesday, September 20, 1961 which is considerably more than we have ever sold before.

This is clue to the fact that three of our Organizers have sold larger amounts than usual; two sold ten thousand dollar contracts each and one sold a five thousand dollar contract. That goes to show you that it ca,n be done, and I hope that we can continue to sell these large amounts, after all, money is cheap these days and a one thousand dollar contract. while it helps, will not cover the expenses of sickness, much less death. So, if a person wants to feel secure he had bet-,, ter buy a larger amount while he is at' it, because as it often happens, he later cannot buy more if he wants to. (He may become uninsurable).

I wish to congratulate these brothers for their success and I hope that others will take notice and come in with some large ones, too.

The complete record of sales for the month of August is as follows: Organizer, Lodge, Members & Insurance E. R. Jakubik 9 1 $10,000.00 J. H. Siptak 17 1 10,000.00 Melvin Skraba,nek 17 2 7,000.00 Roy F. Krenek 67 1 1,000.00 Willie Trcalek 17 1 1,000.00 W. D. Kamas 68 1 1,000.00 Willie Schovaja 1,000.00 33 2 Yours truly 38 2 3,000.00 Thanks to all of you brothers, and please remember that the best reward of a kindly deed is the knowledge of having done it. Of course, the dollars will coirie in handy, too, so let's keep up the good work. Our 1961 Quota doesn't look so large anymore and Iaam sure we can and will reach it.

Just think about the good Barbecue we shall be eating as a result of your special efforts. Let us not be timid about our insurance selling — rather offere it with pride and confidence. Ours is one of the best, so why not offer it as such.

When the prospect starts telling about the others — paying annual dividends — just say, "that only proves that they have over-charged you in the first place, and are returning the money (your money) to you which they have used a whole year free of charge." In reality, dividends are an overcharged premium. You can check the rates of any of the big life insurance cbmpanies and you will find that our rates compare favorably with all of them. Besides, in our Fraternal Order you will have an opportunity to fraternalize with lots of people, to give, as well as receive, the good-will that means so much to us at times. Yes, we have a good thing to sell and most of the time it is really appreciated.

It is only now and then that we run

VbST NI IC WEST, TEXAS into a person who can't see anything good, but that is quite natural, after all, there are people who are always looking for the dark side of everything, (pessimists, they, are called). Fortunately, there are not too many of them.

We have three and a half months to go, and they are good months, when the rural people have been selling their crops. Let's take advantage of this, and see if we can't catch up with Brothers Jakubik and Sip tak. They are our two leading organizers now, 'way ahead of all the rest of us, there are also several organizers who did not show up yet at all. You'd better get started or you• will be left out when the celebration cores around. Surely, there is someone who needs more protection, but he is not going to hunt you up to buy it, it is up to you, so wake up, you may be surprised at what you can do if you just get out and try.

Brother Hejny and I are going to have more Organizer's Meetings again soon, be ready for them, ask for a detailed explanation if anything is not clear to you.

Read all of the information that is in your new rate book, spend a little time an improving yourself, it will be very much worth while when you approach that prospect. And remember, that I would be very glad to come to helpyou any time you may call on me. Just send me a postal card saying what day you Would like rile to come and I will be there.

He then called the name of all the persons surrounding the cake, and had the Happy Country Boys play "Happy Birthday" while the audience sang in their honor....the large cake was a very delicious one and was baked by FRANCES orxxA of the birthday club....The president has another surprise to all members or friends who have a' birthday in October, but they must attend the October monthly meethave a birthday in October come to the meeting and see what happens...

Public's Buying Power Billion Dollars A Day The purchasing power of the American people in its present advance over the last two decades has now attained a level of a billion dollars a clay for every day of the year, Sundays and holidays included.

This is the collective total of personal incooDe currently at the public's disposal from earnings, savings and other sources after meeting, personal income tax bills, which last year added up to more than $50 billions in levies imposed by Federal.

State and local governments.

Figures compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce show that aggregate disposable personal income came to a new high of more than $350 billions in 1960 despite the slowdown in the economy, and has resumed its growth after a sluggish start earlier this year. For tbe second quarter, the seasonably adjusted annual total was placed at just under $362 billions. Since consumer spending represents about two-thirds of the nation's entire economic activity, this trend strengthens confidence in the outlook.

The Department of Como nerce tabulations of the course of personal income and its components show four major sources from which the public's spending and saving power is derived. EarnWHEN CHANGING YOUR ADDRESS

VESTNf - WEST TEXAS in,gs from employment have, of course, always been the principal source of the livelihood and income of the great majority of the population, and the statistics and their trends reveal that the economy has become even more jobsand-payroll-oriented than before.

The figures show that the classification of labor income in the Commerce Department's accounts — wages and salaries plus other labor inconse — has in recent years grown to represent about 76 cents of every dollar of total personal income in the economy, a proportion which in the past was seen in only a few 'years in the World War II period. The comparable ratio in the late Forties and at the start of the Fifties was under 66 cents, while back in 1929 it was less than 60 cents.

Clearly discernible behind these fig ures and their trends are two forces which have been having a steadily growing influence on the flow of income in the economy and on the sources of the people's livelihood and purchasing power. One of these is the marked expansion over the past generation in the economic role of Government -- state and local as well as Federal. This is manifest directly in the growth of the public payroll, which in the period since 1950 has shown the biggest ; •ate of expansion in the Commerce Dcarnament's classification Of wage and ,alary disbursements. Beyond this is the fact that overall Government spending has over the years grown to the equivalent of about a fifth of the entire national product, thus affecting all economic,activity.

The other new factor in the growth of personal income has been the increasing social-mindedness of business and industry, translated into multi-billion dollar programs to help protect employees and their dependents against the econernic impact of death, disability and retirement. This appears in (be -other labor income" classification ia personal income tabulation, which apm'oximated $11 billions in 1960, over two and onehalf times the 1950 figure. It consists predominantly of employer contributions to private pension and welfare funds.

In addition, employers paid $11 1 2 billions as their contribution to all socal security programs last Year.

The second biggest, source of personal income is a group which represents the return on savings and investments --rental income of persons, dividends, and personal interest income. This has shown a greater rate of growth since 1950 than has total personal income, and two years ago replaced proprietors' income in the No. 2 spot in the ranking. iThe combined return on savings crossed the $50 billion mark for the first time

Ve str:edu, dne 20. zafi 1961 in 1960 and represented, practically 13 cents of the personal income dollar. The big expansive factor here has been the rise in personal interest income, its growth of 150 per cent, for the 1950-60 period contrasting sharply with the relative sluggishness of retail and dividend inccwe in the period. )

Traffic Claims Running Less This Year

Motor vehicle fatalities in the first half of this year resulted in 21,000 life insurance death claims, a 2,000 decline from the toll of a year ago, the Institute of Life Insurance reports. This still reflects an annual toll which would approximate the aggregate battie deaths of the U. S. armed forces in the three years of Korean War, according to the Institute. The amount of death benefits paid under these traffic claims in the half year was $66,000,000 some $4,000,000 more than a year ago.

Sports Texas Game Commission Inspects Hurricane Damage to Wildlife Austin — Damage to both wildlife and ecology on the Texas Gulf coast is now being surveyed by crews of the Texas Game and Fish Commission, according to W. J. Cutbirth, Jr., director of administrative services of the Game and Fish ComMission.

Because of disrupted communications, only partial information has bean available, covering damage to Commission properties as a result of Carla. It is known definitely that the marine laboratory was totally demolished, with loss of all laboratory and offiCe equipkrAent. Files, however, concerning shell deposits and sales were rescued before the full force of the hurricane hit.

Only slight damage was done to the marine laboratory building at Rockport, and other smaller structures belonging to the Commission up and ei.own the coast were only slightly damaged. It is not known yet just how many, boats have been lost, because many of the boats were taken to higher ground by wardens and biologists.

Inspections also are being made of fish passes, and the extent of damage to them. There is also an indication that some additional passes may have been opened through Matagorda Island.

Tremendous damage was done to wildlife habitat along the entire coastline.

Heavy rains inundated rice fields and pasturelands the entire length of the coast. For instance, it was reported that a person could go by boat all the way from Eagle Lake. to the Gulf of Mexico.

The wind and rains threatened all the unharvested rice fields near the coastal area.

So far, there has been on report of any heavy fish loss, but this too is being further checked.

• Six Proghorns Co To Italy, Gift from Texas Austin — Six Texas proghorn antelope will leave by air September 20 for Italy.

They will be accompanied by Fred W. Stark, director of the San Antonio Zoo

and Aquarium. A trio of antelope will be presented to both Rone and Naples zoos.

Through a request from Howard Dodgen, executive secretary of the Game and Fish Commission, to Governor Price Daniel, a letter of official sponsorship from Texas will be carried to Italy by 13r. Stark.

Mr. Stark is the director of the San Antonio Zoo and Aquarium, and long has been interested in the extension of international zoological cooperation.

In a letter to the Game Commission, Professor Dr. Raffaele Anatriello, administrator of the provincial project, pointed out their interest in having the proghorns, which would be one of the most specific North American animals, in the Italian zoological gardens.

The zoological garden in Rome is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

The International Union of Directors of Zoological Gardens will be in session there from September 24 to September 30, according to Dr. Adriano Monarca, sub-commissioner of the zoological garden in Rome.

Mr. Stark with the six antelope, will fly to Rope leaving Sept. 20 and arriving Sept. 22.

• ab • ( 9,000 TEXANS STRICKEN WITH STROKES LAST YEAR Austin -- More than 9,000 Texas men and women were fatolly stricken last year by strokes. That is one of the most ominous words in the language to day.

What does it really mean?

The medical term is "cerebral vascular accident," because it is caused by cerebral vascular disease. The body's cerebral vascular system is the brain's network of blood vessels. Thus, cerebral vascular disease refers to diseases of vessels in the brain.

Brain cells require a good blood supply in order to work properly — more so that most other body cells. When something happens to that blood supply, the brain itself is impaired.

That something could be a hemorhage, thrombus, embolus, compression or a spawn. Each one of those key words is a major course of strokes, A .hemorhage (bleeding) is the result of a break in a brain artery which allows blood to escape and damage surrounding brain tissue. Another name for strokes of this type is "apoplexy."

A thrombus is caused by a clot of blood forming in a brain artery, stopping the flow of blood to the part of the brain it supplies. But when a clot is formed in a diseased heart or elsewhere in the body and pumped to the brain to plug an artery, it is called an embolus.

Strana 29 A tumor, swollen brain tissue, or a large clot in another vessel may press upon a brain vessel to stop the flow of blood. This is called corripression. A spasm is caused when a muscular artery constricts or tightens up, reducing the flow of blood to a particular brain area.

Most strokes do not produce immediate death. A large number of victims live for inany years. An estimated two million people who have had strokes are alive in the United States today — many of them disabled because of it.

Present medical knowledge can prevent some but not all strokes. Certain conditions causing cerebral vascular disease — high blood pressure, for example — can often be helped by modern treatment, and several conditions associated with blod clot formation respond to anticlotting drugs. Too, blood vessel defects with which some children are born can now be corrected by surgery. (A weekly feature of the Health Education Division, Texas State Department of Health).

• (— • SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAMS CONTINUE TO EXPAND College Station — More than 14 million of the expected record enrolllment of 4C million children in the nation's schools will participate in the National School Lunch Program this year, reports the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Last year, well over $1 billion worth of foods, equipment and services were required to provide the 2.3 billion lunches consumed by the 13.5 million participating school children. Payment of this billion dollar lunch check comes from three basic sources — roughly 60 per cent is paid by the children with the remaining cost about equally divided between state and local sources and the Federal Government.

The program, in its present form, began in 1946 when Congress passed the National School Lunch Act "to safeguard the health and well-being of the nation's children, and to encourage the domestic consumption of nutritious agricultural products."

When the new program got underway in the fall of 1946 less than one school child out of six was able to buy lunch at school. This year one out of three will eat lunch at school. Of the total lunches served, about one in 10 is served free to children who cannot afford to pay.

Other programs carried out by the USDA to increase use of products frcirt America's farms include special milk program for schools and child-care institutions, direct distribution of foods to needy families and the pilot food stamp projects. The major objectives of all these efforts is to provide both adults and children a better diet.
