Ve Spojenych statech verime, ze hlasovani je nejlepSi objevenY zpOsob, jak zajistiti prava vS'em a jak jim umoZniti dosaZeni politickYch cilii. Toto presvecieeni je podstatou usili vlady ziskati rovna, prava pro vSechny Amerieany.

Proto tee pravil president Kennedy ye sve sprave o stavu Unie toto: "NejcennejSi a nejmocneji pra y() na svete, pra y° hlasovati ye svobocinych americkYch volbach, nesmi byti odpirano z rilsovYch ditvocift obeanovi."

Kennedyho vlacia usiluje o prosazeni dociateenYch zakonil na upevneni tohoto hlasovaciho prava. S praktickeho hlediska jsou zde dva zptisoby, jak je mono rozSifiti hlasovaci pra y ° i pri stavajicich zakonech. Jeden zpilsob je mime vyjednavani, veciouci dobrovolnemu zakorku Urednich organil, ktere na hlasovani dohliZeji; druhY sob spoeiva v rukou soudti. Aekoli \dada ma po strance zajiSteni rovnYch pra y j6'te diouhou cestu pied sebou, j e na nas, abyehom priznali, Ze ji2 dosahla velkeho pokroku, zvlaSte v tech jiZnich statech, kde diskriminace moZnovala uplatniti hiasovaci pray() eernochilm.

Mnoho okresti a 'nest (zvlaStO v Georgii) vzdaio se na Zadost lecleralni vlady hlasovani, ktere se vyZnaeovalo segregaci. Vlach uchyluje se k soudniniu jenom tehciy, kdyl vSecbny pokusy o dobrovolnY fistupek zklamaly. Kombinaci techto sna p vyjednavanim a soudnim rizenim — dosa.hlo se pozoruhodnYch V cele rade okresii v Louisiane a v Mississippi, kde uZ po desitileti nebyl-i zapsani zadni voliei-CernoS1, zapoealo se s jejich registraci. V jistem okrese v Alabame stoupla registrace &mocha po prikazu soudu z 1.100 na vice neZli 3.000 v necelYch dvou letecb. A v jinem okrese teho2 statu stoupla hem pultretiho roku z peti na vice neZli 1.090! ve tretina alabaniskein okrese, kde bylo 1.100 eernochti drive odmitnuto, mohla se tato skupina prihiasiti za vollee od listopadu minuleho roku.

Strach z nasledn, ktere by takovat° registrace It volbam mohla miti, je v pMpade eernochti skoro tali vaZnym

Ve sttedu, dne 17. dubna 1963 problemem jako opine znemoaneni registrace.

ZastraSovani here na sebe formu slovnich vYstrah, jindy mute bYti skuteene fysicke, a east° jevi se jako hospodaksky tlak. VSechny tyto formy jsou proti zakonne, a vlada se je vSechny vymYtiti. VYsledk.em tohoto je, ae registrace stoupla od roku 1960 v jednom okrese v Tennessee z nuly na 2.000, ye druhem z 558 na vice neali 3.000.

TakovYto pokrok povede k samoeinnemu stupriovani tempo: registrace. V soustave, kde hlasovani je takovou silnoir pakou, musi politieti einitele brati aretel na vYsledky u volebniho osudi.

A eim vice &mocha' bude vyuaivati sveho hlasovaciho prava, tim vice si toto pray() zajisti, a s nim i prava. ostatni.

Informaeni Ostatnim obeanstvi Amerieti obeane eeskoslovenskeho pfivodu se na nas east° obraceji s otazkou, co se stab jejich bYvalYm eeskoslovenskYm statnim obeanstvim.

Piave tak je zajima obcanstvi jejich deti zda jsou , americkYmi obeany, at' uz se narodily ye stare vlasti Ci v U.S.A. Kdyby mezi SpojenYrni stati a Ceskoslovenskou republikou byly normalni pratelske vztahy, bylo by vehni snadne odpovedet na tyto otazky. BohuZ. el je vZdy teZke predpo-vedet, do jake miry bude dne gni Ceskoslovenska vlada respektovat sVe smluvni zavazky.

Spojene staty a deskoslovensko uzavrely totiZ due 16. eervence 1928 v Praze smlouvu o naturalizaci. Smlouva vstoupila v platnost dne 14. listopadu 1929. V teto smlouve se pravi, ze "o CeskoslovenskYch prislusnieIch, kteri byli anebo budou naturalizovani na, rizemi SpojenYch state, bude se mit v Ceskoslovensku za to, ze ztratili svou drivejM prisith4lost a stali se piislusniky stabil." To tedy znamena, jakrnile nabudou (Jechosiovaci americkou statni prislu gnost prisahou u americkeho soudu (oath of allegiance), ztraceji automaticky podle 'Leto smlouvy Ceskoslovenskou prislukoost.

Tota plati pro deti naturalizovanych Amerieanti, bYvalYch 6echoslovaktii, po-

VESTNIK kud Zr iji v Americe a nedosahly 21 let.

Ceskoslovenska firady by tedy neuznaly naturalizaci deti novYch Amerieanft Ceskoslovenskehe pftvodu, by deti sidlily v aeskoslovensku. (Ponechavame stranou otazku, zda by to bylo moZne podle ,americkeho prava.)

Pouhym navratem do Ceskoslovenska se podle smiouvy neztraci americke obeansti. Teprve kdyby se nova naturalizovanY American Ceskoslovenskeho ptivodu nevratil do USA do dvou let, melo by se za to, ze ztratil americkou PrisluSnost, kterou predtim nabyl naturalizaci.

Tyto smluvni zavazky mezi obema staty jsou stale je gte platne. Spojene. staty uvadeji tuto smlouvu jako dosud platnou ye svem kahloroCnim prehledu "Treaties in Force" take v roce 1962.

Ceskoslovenska republika potyrdila planost teto funluvy vYslovne v par.

10 odst. 2 zakona o obeanstvi Cis. 194 13. eervence 1949.

Ti, kdo , si preji nabYt ripine jistoty, ze eeskoslovensky relim uznava, Ze jiZ nejsou. CeskoslovenskYrni obeany, mohli by si ZaZadat na Ceskoslovenskem ministerstvu vnitra o "propu‘Steni ze svazku eeskoslovenskeho obeanstvi". Propu'Steni ze svazku statniho obeanstvi zahrnuje take deli do dovrkni 15. rokri, je•li o to polada.no. Nevi nam vgak znamo, zda, eeskoslovenske minister-. stvo vnitra takovYm Z'adostem vyhovuje a ani k nim neradime.

Nekteri politioti uprchlici, kteri opu-. stili Oeskoslovensko pro nesouhlas s komunistickYm raimem, se domnivaji, ze ztratili Ceskoslovenskou prisluSnost automaticky tim, ze odesli bez povoleni vlady. Neni toms tak. Je pravda, CeskoslovenskY zakon o statnim obeanstvi z roku 1949 dava pravomoc ministru vnitra, aby odrial statni °beanstvi ureitYm osobam. ZvidAte se to tYka osob, ktere se dopustily t. zv. prostistatnich "einft, opustily illegalne. republiku riebo odmitnou uposlechnotu vYsvy k navratu z ciziny. Zakon vtak mluvi o tom, ze se tak mute stat, ale nestanovi, ze se tak stat musi. Takove rozhodnuti ministra vnitra by bylo vyhla'Seno v firednim list(. Nejaky salon o hroinadnem odneti nebo ztrate eeskoslovenskeho obeanstvi illegalnim odchodern do zahraniei nebyl vSak vydan.

Ani psi vyhideni nedavnYch amnestii s vyzvou k ndvratu nebylo pohroSeno odnetim obeanstvi tern, kteri by se rieDvoji statni obCanstvi je mama, po-. die mezinarodniho prava i prava mnohSTeh state. eechoslovaci v zalaraniei json povaSovani za eeskoslovenska, stat-

Nabyti statniho obeanstvi v zemi, kterd s 6eskoslovenskein nerna smlouvu o naturalizaci, nestaei na ztratu eeskoslovenskeha obearvi.

Ve stolku eetnickeho stratmistra nalezaly se vaemotne tiskopisy a rejstriky. Vlada chtela vedet "o katdem obeanu, co si o ni mysli.

Stratmistr Flanderka kolikrat zoufale lomil rukama nad temi tiskovinami, ktere nefiprosne pribyvaly kaklou poatou. Jakmile uvidel zname ()balky s razitkem.

Nakonec, ponevadt uznal za nemotne, aby to mohl byti nekdo z mista, kde zaeinaji Blata a kde je ten lid takoVa, tvrda palice, piipadl na myalenku vziti na slutbui obecniho pasaka, kteremu rikali "Pepku, vyskoe!"

"PoSleme si naSi babu pro yeeeri a bude chodit se dtbanem pro pivo," rotluetil stratmistr talky problem, "at' se baba trochu probehne."

A baba Pejzlerka, ktera jirri posluhovala, se opravdu probehla.

"Koho tarn maji?" odpovedela baba Pejzlerka, "nejakYho podezrelyho eloveka. Prove net jsem odeSla, oba ho drteli kolem krku a pan stratmistr ho hladil po hlave a rikal mu: 'Ty mid zlatej kiuku slovanskej, ty mid malinkej •SpiOnku'!"

A potom, kdyt bylo dlouho jit pies prilnoc, zavoder spal, t yrde chrapaje, nataten pies svijj kavalec, v ache raniforme.

Naproti sedel stratmistr se zbytkem kontuSo yky na dne lahve, drtel Svejka kolem krku, sizy mu tekly pa opalene tvari, jeho vousy byly slepeny kontuSovkau a on jen breptal: te v Rusku nernaji tak dobrou kontugovku, rekni, at' mohu klidne jit spat. Priznej to jako mut."

"Nemaji."

Stratmistr prevalil se na Svejka.

"PoteSil jsi nine, priznal jsi se. Tak to ma bYt pii vyslechu, Jsem-li vinen, nae zapirat?"

Zvedl se, a vravoraje s prazdnou lahvi do sveho pokoje, mumlal: "Kdyby se by nedostal na nepravou fdrahu, tak to mohlo vSehno jinak dopadnout."

Netli se svalil v uniforme na svou pastel, vytahl ze psaciho stole svid raport a pokusil se ho dopinit timto materialem: "Ich muss noch dazu belzuftigen, doss die russiche Kontuszawka na zaklade 56 liber. „ ," Udelal haiku,

FROM THE EDITOIt'S DESK HOW MANY MORE YEARS? No, this is not going to be a commentary on how many days or years until the millenium. There may be a time element involved, however.

How many more years has the Czech language got in America — and Texas?

Much has been and is being written on the seriousness of the apparent disappearance of the widespread use of the Czech language. What is its future?

How much longer will it be an "active" language? I don't know. I'm not sure anyone else does. One thing is for certain, however. Those who 30 or 40 years ago, predicted the rapid disappearance of the usage of the language have been proven mistaken to a substantial degree.

Let's face it. The whole matter, in our humble opinion, is a matter of utility and of prestige. In this day and time, no one wants to do or'study anything unless he sees some future use for that knowledge; otherwise, he considers it a waste of time. This is the utilitarian approach: don't bother acquiring any knowledge if you see no way to derive benefit (economic usually) from it In a nutshell, few people study and acquire knowledge for the sake of knowledge alone.'Scientists sometimes complain that they must operate in a scientific straight jacket if they are allowed to do research only in areas that will result in some usable matter or product. Why not research for the sake of research, and if something good comes of it, then well and good. We must, of course, have both types of research. In short, our young people see very little advantage in going to schools and universities to learn Czech. How and when can they use it; when and how will they derive some material benefit from it? It's a materialistic world our children are being raised in. Everything is measured in terms of what value will it have in

dollars and cents. We don't like to hear that, but it's true. The biggest "consumer" of talented Czech-speaking people today is our federal government. Not everyone can work for the government, and not everyone wants to. Because of our present tenuous relations with communist Czechoslovakia, economic, social, and cultUral intercourse has dwindled to a bare trickle. You say: 'why brother? Let them learn English." Fact is, they do, as is the case in most civilized nations of the world.

About "language prestige": the prestige languages today are, in addition to English, Russian, French, German, and Spanish. Czech wouldn't make the list, even if it were much longer. It is very true that the knowledge of Czech is a good vehicle for the learning of Russian, but most people are reluctant to learn an extra language in order to learn Russian. Why not learn Russian, and be done with it?

Again, that "shortcut."

Those places who are or have inaugurated classes in Czech are to be highly commended. That is definitely one way to attack the problem headon. But will such programs sustain themselves? Will the interest remain high for a long period of time? Will enough young people attend and support it? Starts are sometimes impressive, but what about the number that wind up in the end?

Impressive speeches, heart-rending appeals, fervent pleas to preserve our cultural heritage, do not always impress young people. It just doesn't register with them. Maybe the answer lies in a little "friendly persuasion," as perhaps was the ease with the young Jewish fellow Brother Valcik encountered not so long ago in Houston, and who was on his way to a Saturday morning class in Hebrew: Whether he

was made to go or went voluntarily, he was going. Do they have a stronger national consciousness than we? How many classes in Czech are being taught in Texas right now, both in private projects and in schools? We don't nave the statistics, but the answer would not be cause for great rejoicing. If we were faced with a strong, serious, common threat, would we really put our shoulders to the wheel? People have a way of joining together in the face of danger. In this case, what, if any, is the danger? Briefly, the extinction and disappearance of the Czech language as a practiced language in these United States — that is the threat. In how many years, no one knows. It will not be an overnight disappearance; it will be gradual attrition, iust as it has been in the oast.

A few newspapers punilOod in Czech in Texas and he U.S. have "bitten the dust." Those who have managed to somehow survive, have seen their subscription lists dwindle`with the years.

Some have incorporated English in order to held on, It is reported that one of the most vigorous Cxech publications at this time is in Australia.

There are large numbers of recent Czech emigrants there; that is the reason. Give them a generation or two, and see what happens. They will be absorbed into their surroundings, as have Czechs all over the-world, and as have all minority groups. It is inevitable that this be So. No reversal of this fact is in sight.

We are not preparing the graveyard of CZech culture, It will live on for centuries in the English and other languages. What we do fear for, however, is the eventual cessa lion of an ACTIVE Czech language . here in the Southwest. What is the solution to head off such an eventuality? Who knows? We believe that much or part of the answer lies in people's thirst for

14 knowledge for the SAKE OF KNOWLEDGE, and that goes for languages, tco. The prestige we spoke of lies in the mere fact that you know another language besides Englis h. Why shouldn't the language be Czech? Forget about how you may put it to some material use. Learn it because you WANT to learn it; because you want the knowledge of an extra language; !because you want the prestige of knowing another language. Learn it for knowledge's sake. That it should be Czech would be a tribute to your lineage, to those who helped God put you on tins planet.

Not too long before he died, the late Speaker Sam Rayburn told Martin Agronsky that he had much faith in the young people of this day and time. He went on to say that anybody in this country could be anything they wanted to be IF THEY WANTED TO BE IT BAD ENOUGH. So, the study of Czech should, we believe, be approached with that attitude. Pleas and appeals to sentiment will fall on deaf ears. Learn it because it is a GOOD thing to do. Knowledge is infinite; it is awaiting exploration by us all, Don't be afraid of it. Show yourself you can ;do it.

Finally, we will ,refer to a Czech proverb that goes roughly like this: "He who is ashamed of his mother tongue deserves the scorn and disgrace of ALL people." Nothing portrays a spineless person more than an attempt to hide his ancestry by refusing to speak the language of his ancestors. • The fate of an active Czech language in Texas and the Southwest is in your bands . How many more years does the language have? ) 0 (— DISTRICT I ORGANIZERS' APPRECIATION BANQUET Lodge 17 at Novy Tabor, near Caldwell was the scene of Brother V. H. Barina's District One Organizers' Appreciation Bandquet on April 2nd.

This has been a tradition in District I, just as it is in all the other districts.

The head Organizer is host at a banquet for his fellow workers, in appreciation of the previous year's achievements and cooperation.

A most pleasant evening was enjoyed by all those present. An appetizing refreshment was served to the guests as they entered, and were told to make themselves at home until most of the other guests arrived. Su-

The editor of the Vestnik was present with his 51/4-yearold son, Nicholas, and brought with him Ernest Tobola of the Cechoslovak Publishing Co. printing staff.

Gifts were presented to the top three organizers of District One. At the top was Bro. John J. Srubar, of Lodge 17, who sold $42,500 worth• of insurance, in the year 1962. The next gift was reserved f of Bro. Rudy Matejka, of Lodge 39, who wrote up the largest number of new members — 25 -- with $20,000 worth of life insurance , Bro. Matejka was unable to be present to auept his ,gift, and it was forwarded to him. Third prize was presented to Bro, E. R. Jakubik of Lodge No. 9, who sold $30,000 worth of insurance. All three received high-quality, hand-made billfolds, with the names embossed on each F ..!a. `Thpreme Lodge, Vice-Presidcilt :,;ety presented gifts to the above-named workers, and special plaques to Bro. Srubar and Bro. Matejka.

• Brother Marek was the principal speaker, and made a very moving presentation. Everyone preSent was given the oportunity to speak, and most did.

The editor's talk was enjoyed by all, especially the Czech portion. His son, Nicholas, availed himself of the opportunity and made a very impressive 30second talk. He received a rousing ovation. Bro. August Kacir,_ attorney for the ,ST, was also present and spoke briefly. The Director froth District I, Bro. John A. Ktibena of La Grange, likewise spoke briefly. As stated pre-

V g STNfK viously, Bro. Matejka, and his wife, Lillian, who is our District Youth Director, were not able to be present due to the recent death of Bro, Matejka's mother.

After the speeches, a number of the guests gathered around Bro. Morris and the piano to sing spirited and rousing Czech numbers. This was enjoyed by everyone.

All in all, it was a very enjoyable and successful evening. The fruits of our labors were rewarded, and it is to Brother and Sister 13arina's credit that it was thus. As Brother Srubar writes (in the Cezech section), everyone is looking forward to Brother Barina's Appreciation Banquet next year. Here's to an even greater 1963! ) 0( THE MAGNIFICENT MISFIT

By Ken MeMorrough West, Texas Located mid-way between Goliad and Victoria, on the plain near Goleta Creek, a small tract of land has been preserved in memory of the forces of James Fannin. Here on March 19, 1836, a half mile from a thick stand of timber, a Mexican force, under Urrera, completely surrounded Fannin's ,army, on its retreat to Vittoria, and after futile skirmishing, forced it to surrender. Many historians believe this to be a monument to a mistake, protesting that although. Fannin had the bulk of the Texas army under his command at Golia.d, he contributed little to the cause of the struggle for independence.

Fannin was young and aggressive.

He had been commissioned, by Austin, for his brilliant work in the "Battle of Concepcion," where he had demonstrated military potential. He had but one black mark on his record. In the winter of 1835 he had joined with Dr. Grant an the "Matamoros Expedition," a reckless and ill-fated attempt by a few Texans to invade Mexico. This action was probably motivated by a lack of excitement and rising tensions, due to the lull in activity.

He was then assigned a command at Goliad to, as some said, keep him out of trouble. While Travis was trying to hold his force together in San Antonio; Fannin was organizing his men into a precisioned fighting team.

He had a company of artillery, one of infantry, and another of engineers.

He drilled the regulars and set the engineers to work fortifying the walls of La Bahia Mission, for the attack that he was sure would come from the south.

15

PRESIDO LA BAHIA GOLIAD, TEX. On February 25, 1836, after receiving a request for aid from Travis, he set out to relieve the defenders of the Alamo. He marched with nearly the whole force of Goliad, leaving only a small group of regulars to guard the fort. Upon attempting to cross the San Anotnio River, three of his wagons were lost and it was with the utmost labor and personal hazard, that the cannon were conveyed safely across. He was forced to make camp on , the river bank; that night some of the oxen strayed off and could not be found. Fannin's situation became delicate in the extreme. If he continued on, the baggage and artillery would have to be left behind. Since the country between Goliad and San Antonio was completely unsettled, they would have to incur the risk of starvation.

Fannin made the only sensible decision: to return to Goliad and continue to fartify that place. That Fannin and his men were anxious to go to the relief of Bexar is evident; but they were unwilling to go at the risk of being murdered along the way and of exposing the whole country from Bexar to the coast to the enemy.

The Alamo fell on March 6, and the Texans, especially tnose in exposed areas, began to flee before the Mexican advance. On the 10th Fannin sent Captain King to Refugio to aid in evacuating some families there , On the 14 he received an order from Houston to retreat, with his entire force and what refugees he could take, to Victoria, for the purpose of fortifying that place. But Fannin was about to make a drastic mistake. Instead of sending a messenger to'inform King of his intended move, he decided to wait at Goliad for his return, This cost him four precious days.

On the morning of March 19 the exodus began. Having gone about seven miles from Goliad the entire party stopped for an bour to graze the

VtSTNfK stock and have breakfast. This proved an unwise wave.

They had gone perhaps ten miles 'further when they spotted the Mexicans in the rear. The Texans now halted and fired upon the approaching enemy, but preceiving that they were too far off, took up their march 'again. They had gone a mile, when in crossing a depression the ammunition wagon broke down. They were suddenly cut off frOm a wooded area, about a mile distant, which they were trying to reach, and were soon surrounded by the enemy.

At first the Texans fought valiantly and held the Mexicans at bay. But the morning of the 20th, Urrera received reinforcements of cavalry and artillery and Fannin immediately recognized the hopelessness of the situation.

They were outnu:mbered three to one and further resistance could only mean complete annihilation. He decided to take a chance on conditional surrender.

Santa Anna had issued orders that all men caught bearing arms against Mexico would be treated as traitors; there would be no exceptions. The prisoners were returned to Goliad, and on the morning ,of the 24th, were marched out onto the plains east of Goliad and shot.

To say . that Fannin was an incompetent leader would hardly be justifiable. That he often found himself in extremely embarrassing and highly difficult situations might be blamed on his location of command. That he was plagued by a laCk of inertia, however, is evident, and in this one passive characteristic can be found the cause of his fate. ) 0, (

LETTERS LODGE. NO. 117, ROBSTOWN Dear Brothers, Sisters and Friends: Just a few lines to inform all the members, especially the small fry, that our annual Easter party and egg hunt will be held April 21st, the Sunday after Easter Sunday. It will be held at the Banquet Creek Park, about two miles west of Banquet, off Highway 44.

It is a very nice place, and Commissioner Sablatura certainly, deserves praise for the way he fixed the park up. It used to be a dumping ground, but with some cleaning and fixing up it is really a pleasant place to have a picnic.

SO you members load up the kids and

yOurlelves, grab a. few sandwiches, kolaches or whatever is handy, and conic out to the park. The lodge will furnish the drinks and you that have children bring a few colored Easter eggs for the hunt.

Wednesday, April 17, 1963 keska and Sister Helen Cepak had the honor to pin the 50-year emblems on Brother Joe R. Mazanec and. Brother Frank Volcik. Their wives were seated with them in the front row.

The weather here is hot and dry, and we are slowly but surely drying up. The crops have all been planted and most of them come up, but Nueces County did not get any rain. It certainly was hot here Tuesday; the thermometer hit 110 degrees. Today, Thursday, it is cloudy and we are beginning to hope, again that it might rain.

Don't forget the 21st; see you all at the park.

Fraternally, Mary A. Janak, Reporter ) 0( LODGE NO. 54, WEST Dear Sisters and Brothers: The Youth Club had their Easter Program before our meeting. I will not give you all the details of the program as I am sure the Youth Club reporter will write about it, but I do want to say that everyone who had a part in the program did so well. They ended the program with the "Easter Parade." Catherine Holy and Johnny Kaluza played the "Grand March" on their ac:ordions, Which made a nice ending for the program. May I add that Bro. Nick. Morris was kept busy taking various pictures of the program and I am sure some of these pictures will be seen in a later issue of the Vestnik.

After the program Bro. Mikeska called our meeting to order. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by three Youth Club girls.

Bro. Cocek read the minutes of our previous meeting and it was approved as read. The Treasurer and Financial reports were read.

Bro. Mikeska mentioned that Sister EStelle Marek had broken her ankle and was in the hospital for several days, but we all were glad to see her at the meeting even though she had to hop along on crutches. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery and hope you will soon lay those crutches aside.

Next Bro. Cervenka took over and made a brief talk in Czech in regards to the members who are SPJST members for 50 years. Sister Frankie Mi-

Lodge 54, West — 50-year pin awards were presented to Brothers Frank Volcik, left, and Jos. Mazanec.

Bro. Mikeska recognized Bro. Ed and Sister Agnes Mazanec of Waco, who are members of Lodge H. Bro. Mazanec also made a very nice short talk, which I am sure everyone enjoyed. He said he especially wanted to see his brother Joe receive his 50-year pin. Others recognized were Bro. Vick Hall who also, was asked to say a few words, and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Kocurek who are the parents of our Princess Bernadette Kocurek.

Bro. Kacir mentioned that we should also recognize two of our members who won in elections Saturday. They are Bro. Emil Popp of Abbott, as City Commissioner, and Bro. Edmund Marek of Penelope, as school trustee. Congratulations to both of them!

Sister Frankie Mikeska, Youth Leader, introduced the Princess Bernadette Kocurek and her escort Jimmy Nemec, and Duchess Shirley Nemec and her escort Billy Wayne Kral. They will represent our Lodge.

No other 'business was brought up, • so, the meeting was adjourned. Lunch was then served, consisting of sandwiches, various pastries, potato chips, and coffee.

May I actor, before closing this letter, that it was nice seeing Bro. and Sister Mazanec at the meeting. Try to come to our meetings again.

Our next meeting will be on May 5th.

Wednesday, April 17, 1963 LODGE NO. 8, COTTONWOOD Dear Readers, I would like to thank our Youth Leader, Sister Ruth Krizan, for helping us with the Easter Program, and also the men who hid the Easter eggs.

There were two prize eggs in each of the groups; for those who found one in the older group they received a record.

The Youth Club also gave Sister Ruth Krizan a very beautiful dress, decorated with many colorful flowers.

I will be going to school in a few minutes, so I will close.

Milady Kamas, Reporter ) 0( LODGE POKROK NO. 84, DALLAS SOFTBALL TEAM Dear Brohers and Sisters: Our softball season will open officially Monday, April 15th. So far, we have organized our Monday Night League and we will play on Samuel Dia1nond No. 1.

The league is composed of Madewell Electric, Friendly Chevrolet, The Dallas Chiefs, and SPJST Fraternal Ins. We hope to organize a Wednesday Night League and play twice a week.

However, the final organizational meeting was held Wednesday, April 10, and by the next letter something def inite will be reported.

We have been holding workouts and practices nearly every Sunday and have had about three night practices to date. The team as a whole is beginning to look pretty good; however, it looks like our opposition will be real strong in our Monday Night League, and also possibly in our Wednesday Night League that we hope to form.

VPSTNIK Basically we have about the same players we had last year. All of us are a year older, and we have four new players: Larry . Brennan, Mike Hall, Adolph Janecka and Glenn Williams on this year's team. We feel- they will all be an asset to our team this season. We are hoping to have a most enjoyable and fruitful season.

We sincerely hope that all of our members and also a lot of our friends „come out to all our games and give us that moral boost which is so important to the success of a team. We will be looking for you, so do come, starting with our first 011ie Monday night, April 18th and every Monday and Wednesday night the rest of the season. A schedule of our games will be published, probably in my next letter.

However, the various meetings were held every week, and then of course, the Lodge 88 Social night event held every Thursday night. Everyone coming out has had lots of fun. We hope to see more of you come out for this occasion.

The children were treated with an Easter egg hunt at the new lodge site on Sunday afternoon, April 7. Tney had a grand time trying to find 30 down eggs hidden over two acres of ,ground, It was a beautiful day-just perfect for the occasion. After the hunt Was over everyone went to the hail where Sisters Annie Vala, Mary Fusig and IVIary Elmer served delicious :hamburgers, cakes,. pastries and coffee. The parents enjoyed it as well as the children.

The Sokol willingly cooperates with these organizations because the Sokol practices solidarity among our Czech organizations. We know that worthwhile objectives are not attained by talk, but by cooperative effort.

Remember Sunday, April 21st: the dinner, followed by our SPJST and Sokol meetings. See you there.

Our good ,SPJST and Sokol member, Anton Janousek is ill, after never having been to see a doctor in his whole life. He became ill last week, and is at home under a doctor's care.

We all hope he overcomes his illness and recovers CoMpletely. He's really too strong to "buckle , under." We understand -he's better. SO, Brother janonSek, take it easy. We wish- you the best of everything.

Summer also means a new queen for Lodge No. 66 and my honor to crown the new queen.

TEEN-AGERS AND SMOKING

You've just been to a slumber party.

Two girls brought cigarettes and you, like everyone else, tried one, maybe two. The taste wasn't great and you felt awkard holding the cigarette, but you would have felt more self-conscious if you had been the only one who refused.

Or, football season seems a long time away. There is evena chance thay you won't make the squad. Most of your friends have been smoking for a year or two and your father smokes two packs a day. So why shouldn't you?

If you do qualify for the team, you'll just stop smoking.

To smoke or not to smoke? It's your decision and you'll bear full responsibility for it.

Your parents will probably advise against it, but it's yoUr own will power, not theirs, that is about to be tested.

But before you make up your mind to join the two million new teen-aged smokers each year, look at the other side of the coin, particularly at infor.mation the American Cancer Society has gathered in its campaign to discourage teen-agers from smoking.

The society's argument is simple. If you smoke, you risk lung cancer, the leading cancer killer of men. If you smoke two packs of cigarettes a day over a somewhat extended period of time (upward of 15 years), the chances are one out of ten that you will get lung cancer. If you start smoking now, the odds are stacked even more heavily against you. . Studies made by the society show that most smokers begin before they're 20. It takes from one to two years for smoking to become a real habit. The earlier you begin, the more heavily you eventually will smoke. Not only will you smoke cigarettes, but you will inhale the smoke niore deeply, thereby causing greater lung damage.

Once you begin smoking , it's difficult -- and some say impossible — to quit. It's better, say officials of the Cancer Society, never to begin. But, you ask, has it been proved conclusively that smoking causes lung cancer?

Scientists have isolated at least eight chemicals from inhaled smoke that, when on the backs of mice, cause cancer. They have not been able to induce cancer in a mouse's lung, mainly because a mouse does not inhale smoke the same way a human being does.

And one more unpleasant statistic from the American Canber Society: 85 per cent-of lung cancers are incurable.

Wednesday, April 17, 1963 They are among the most difficult cancers to detect, having few symptoms until the disease has progressed so far that treatment is useless.

No one maintains that all lung cancers are caused by smoking (though a nonsmoker's odds of developing one are I in 230), but many doctors subscribe to the statement of the Royal College of Physicians in London: "Cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer and bronchitis and probably contributes to the development of coronary heart disease and various less common diseases . .. cigarette smokers have the greatest risk of dying from these diseases and the risk is greater for heavier smokers." According to statistics of the American Public Health Association, a million children now in school will die of lung cancer before they reach 70.

That's one side of the argument.

There's another, more personal side.

Smoking seems like an adult, sophisticated, mature habit. You know you'll feel more at ease with yourself and your surroundings with a cigarette in your hand. Are you sure?

"Nothing looks worse than a high school girl with a cigarette in her hands," insisted a good-looking student council president. "She either doesn't know how to manage the thing or she looks just plain tough."

From a girl editor of her high school paper: "I don't think smoking makes a boy look older or more masculine. I think it makes him look more nervous than -anyone else in the room."

A final point, in case you're in the fringe group that thinks it's smart to smoke. A team of doctors recently conducted a survey of the smoking habits of high school students in the Newton, Mass., area. Though, the doctors admit their results are open to interpretation, their research showed that the great majority of freshmen and sophomore boys and girls who smoked regularly were in the bottom quarter of their high school classes.

It's still your choice. )0t Never put any ungrounded electrical appliance near water. In the bathroom, electrical outlets should not be within reach of the bathtub or shower. Personal carelessness is responsible for most of the death by electrocution occurring in bathrooms each year.

Yards and Gardens

By Otto Ham's WATERING: HELP OR HARM? It is getting the time of year when we will do a lot of watering, and it is very important to do it right. As one authority on horticulture said, "Rule No. 1 is don't water, but I cannot agree with this entirely, because some plants would seriously suffer during extended periods of droughts. So my advice is to watch your plants for droopy leaves. This is usually the best_ signal that they need water. When you do water them do so thoroughly, so that water penetration is at least 12 inches. deep. This can be accomplished: in many ways for large areas. A good soil soaker does the job well and does not wash the soil. There is also just about every type of sprinkler available that can be imagined and usually at a low price. Many of them are made to travel over a hose; others are pulled back by tapes, but most do a terrific job of watering. Using a nose uozzle and spraying, the water usually does more harm than good. It gets water on the plants and seldom waters deeply enough.

Potted plants seldom ,die for want of water, but are usually over-watered.

A- good rule to follow here is to look for droopy leaves or soil drawing away from sides of pots. Then water thoroughly. There are millions of ivy plants killed from too much water every year. Yellowing of plants is a sure indication of too much water.

Good areation is also desirable in pot plants. This can be accomplished with an ordinary table fork by loosen-

ing the top soil regularly, just as you would cultivate your garden or field, only on a much smaller scale. Remember: water only when needed and then water well. Never sprinkle and you will be rewarded with a healthy yard, shrubs, flowers or vegetables.

If you have any questions please send them to the Vestnik and we will be happy to help you solve any garden Or flower problem.

Next week: Planting Roses.

4) 4, Outdoor Plants Need Care to Survive Owner's Absence When going away for a week, or even two weeks, prepare your outdoor plants for survival during your absence.

First water all trees, shrubs and plants in beds and hedges. Next, cover the moist beds with three inches of mulch: peat moss, compost, leaf mold, grass clippings, pine needles or hay.

The mulch will bold the moisture at the plant's roots and they will be in excellent condition when you return from your trip.

In the case of potted plants, after thoroughly watering each plant, wrap the pot in plastic material. It will hold the misture in.

New Vegetable Disease Guide Vegetable diseases can seldom be cured but they can be controlled by carrying out a planned disease control program, say the authors of a new publication, L-583, "Guide for Reducing Vegetable Disease Losses" re-

Wednesday, April 17, 1963 !cently released by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

The authors. Harlan Smith, former extension plant pathologist, and Robert Lambe, area extension pathologist, point out that most fungicides and nematocides are poisonous and should be used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. They should be stored out of roach of children, irresponsible persons, livestock and pets and empty containers should be either buried or burned. Use all chemicals with caution,, they advise.

The authors suggest several measures for cutting down plant disease losses and they include the rotation of the vegetable crop each year; not planting susceptible varieties on soil infested with Southern blight, wilts, nematodes and root rots; growing disease resistant and adapted varieties; fertilizing according to a soil test; using transplants or seed produced under disease-free conditions and by keeping a close inspection of fields so that control measures can be used successfully when needed.

Charts showing the most common and troublesome diseases along with control recommendations are included in the leaflet.

Copies of the publication are available from the offices of county agents or from the Agricultural Information Office, College Station, Texas. Ask for L-583.

Today, a blanket is not a heavy wool thing to be used only in the coldest weather. New fibers produce featherlight blankets which may be used year-round with air conditioning.

These new fibers like Creslan acrylic are machine washable-and-dryable, so they can be kept fresh , with a minimum of effort and expense.

These new blankets provid maximum warmth with minimum weight as well as the easy care, long wear and 'great beauty in their clean, bright colors. Shrinking, piling or matting characteristic of older blankets present no problem in those made with the new fiber.

In fact, the new blankets provide just about everything the new bride wants, except the sweet dreams! ♦ e OLD STYLE BROOM HAS MANY USES With all the new electric gadgets to aid house cleaning, the old-fashioned corn broom still provides one of the easiest and most effective means of cleaning many areas, and is useful for many purposes besides sweeping.

For instance, use the broom to pull down unreachable, unbreakable boxes and cans from the top of the pantry shelf.

27 If you put a hook into the end of the handle, it can pull down window Shades, light cords, etc.

Use the broom to scrub your shag throw rugs when they are extra dirty.

Extra care and removal of dust in rugs can be achieved with a dampened broom. Use a weak solution of a very mild detergent and dip the broom in it but be sure to shake all excess water off the broom. Then sweep the rug thoroughly.

Don't use a broom down to the "stub" before replacing it Soak a new broom in a strong solution of hot salt water before using to toughen the bristles and make the broom more durable. e ♦ FREEZING CALLS FOR PREPARATION Freezing is a real time-saver when preparing main dishes such as meat loaves, stews and casseroles, notes Dallas County home demonstration agent Orene McCellan. She offers these directions for success.

DO — leave vegetables and macaroni slightly undone for freezing. Otherwise they will be soft when reheated.

Vegetables which are fully cooked are also likely to have less color and flavor or be off-flavor.

DO — freeze meat pies or turnovers with pastry crusts unbaked.

Crusts baked after freezing will have fresher flavor and be more flaky and tender than those baked and then frozen.

DO — cool the main dish quickly.

Set the uncovered pan of food on ice or in ice water. Quick cooling stops the cooking and helps to keep the natural flavor, color and texture of the food.

DON'T — add a cheese or crumb topping to a casserole before freezing. Such toppings are best added when the food is reheated.

DON'T — hold 'main dishes too long in frozen storage. for economical use of freezer space and tip-top quality two or three months is long enough to hold main dishes in frozen storage.

Additional information may be found in "Freezing Combination NI a in Dishes" and "Frozen Foods." Both bulletins are available at Home Demonstration Offices. ♦ ♦ TOASTED CRACKERS Crackers are crisper and fresher; too, when a square of four is placed in the toaster a few seconds before serving.

For Your Information:.

WARNING: POISON OAK AND POISON IVY!

It is a sad thing to disillusion those who cherish the myth of their "immunity" to poison ivy or oak or sumac, but the season of prevalence of these toxic plants is fast approaching and forewarned is forearmed.

Botanical scientists say it is doubtful that anyone • is absolutely immune to their poisonous substance. More and more authorities agree that susceptibility is a mere matter of degree, varying with the condition of the individual, the condition of the plant, and the circumstances of exposure.

Texas has its fair share of the 100plus plants and plant products known to be capable of causing sometimes severe skin irritations. Among them are the parsnip, lady-slipper, cultivated primrose (especially when in flower, lily bulbs and stalks, stinging nettle, and vanilla beans.

But by far the most common cause of plant dermatitis in Texas and elsewhere in the United States is poison ivy, known to botanists by the tonguetwisting name of Rhus toxicodendron.

A cousin — poison sumac, by name — is common to the swampy regions of ea/stern Texas, and can sometimes produce severe reactions.

For all practical purposes, poison ivy and poison oak are the same thing.

Poison oak is simply any poison ivy that grows as a bush rather than a vine.

Poison ivy is a.n unusually inconsistent species of plant. Besides growing as a bush and a vine, the size of its berries and the outline of its leaves often vary widely. Its leaves are characteristically egg - shaped and pointed, but the edges may be smooth and unbroken or saw toothed. Moreover, these variations might occur on a single plant, or the leaves on an entire plant may be similar.

But in one matter, poison ivy is almost invariably consistent — its leaves practically always grow in clusters of three.

Thus ivy poisoning is best prevented by learning to recognize the plant and avoiding it. And, of course, it is always prudent to wear protective clothing such as leggings and gloves when going into areas where poison plants are known to flourish. Once exposed, immediate washing with laundry soap and water helps to remove the

VESTN f K resin.

As a final word of caution: Never burn poison ivy vines! The smoke can be just as venomous as the leaves.

—Texas Dept. of Health )O( RESEARCH PROVES VALUE OF FATS IN DIET

A Texas A. and M. scientist has reported that his research shows that ,fats in the diet actually help prevent both heart disease and hardening of the arteries.

Dr. Raymond Reiser, a professor of biochemistry and nutrition at A. and M., is a specialist in the field of lipid metabolism or the effects of fats on the body.

"The tables seem to be turned," Reiser said. "Instead of being the cause of heart disease, arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and atherosclerosis (clogged arteries), fat may well be the cure and prevention."

"Within reasonable amounts, it is not the fat in the diet that is harmful," he said, "but an unbalance in the kind of fat."

He said certain fatty acids are necessary for proper body functions. Lack of these fatty acids, he said, results in buildups of cholesterol accumulations in the body as surely as does excessive presence of the fats.

"One who eliminates fats from his diet runs the risk of depriving himself of an essential nutrient, and possibly the means of ridding his body of its excess cholesterol," Reiser said.

Fats help in other ways, he said.

Fats are the best source of energy; they aid in the utilization of certain vitamins; they add flavor to food, and they increase the emptying time of the stomach, keeping a person from getting hungry too soon between meals.

Reiser has specialized in fats and the body for years. At present he is working under a 7-year $630,000 research grant from the National Institute for Health.

He said his own studies, plus surveys throughout the nation, showed blood cholesterol levels were directly related to exercise as well as diet.

"There is no question but that the hand-working individual 'has lower blood cholesterol levels and lower incidence of atherosclerosis than those occupied with sedentary tasks," he said. )0( Citizenship is not learned, it comes about 'through practice of it. Good citizenship comes through good experience.

Wednesday, April 17; 1963 BLOOD TESTS CATCH CANCER EARLY

A California scientists disclosed recently that experimental blood tests on 1,500 citizens of Sheridan, Wyo., showed that doctors may be able to detect cancer through blood tests before the disease reveals itself clinically.

The technique still leaves much to be desired, but development of some blood tests is essential to the early diagnosis of cancer, according to Dr. Charles M. Carpenter of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

He said two blood tests were used to find abnormal serum protein, which resulted from inflammatory disease in 1,500 healthy volunteers of Sheridan as well as 1,200 hospital patients.

The findings: Those with cancer among the hospital patients showed "positive" blood tests in 243 of 297 patients, for a percentage of 81.8.

"The false negative tests usually occurred in patients with either skin cancer or with cancer of the breast which had not spread," said Dr. Carpenter, professor of infectious diseases at USLA.

Wednesday, April 17, 1963 In the healthy adult non-hospital population, only 7.6 per cent of the subjects were "positive."

Interestingly, the incidence of positive reactors to the test was almost twice as high among cigarette smokers than non-smokers Dr. Carpenter told the American Cancer Society's seminar for science writers at La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club that this could not as yet be explained.

The serum tests actually "caught" signs of inflammatory disease, but further clinical evaluation was then required to 'determine if the subject had cancer or a non-cancerous condition.

29

If the testing were being done as a public health measure rather than for experimental purposes, Dr. Carpenter pointed out that scientists could aim their efforts at the "positive" reactors in the population.

Cancer which has invaded tissue can be determined by the tests in 8 out of 10 patients and 0 of 10 patients with brochogenic carcinoma (lung cancer) react positively, said Dr. Carpenter.

Although the tests lack sensitivity, DrAarpenter points out that other diagnostie measures now in use do, too.

"The best clinical examination of the non-hospital population detects 7 cancer patients per 1,000, but fails to diagnose an equal number with the disease," Dr. Carpenter says.

"Also of interest, are the standard serologic tests used extensively for syphilis. In patients with latent syphilis, approximately 50 per cent yield biologic false positive tests, yet such tests are accepted laboratory procedures," he added. )O( Most of us feel better when we begin to know, rather than having so often to hope or guess.
