PODPORA LIDSHOST BRATRSTVi 22. KVETNA (MAY) 1963

JAK ZLEPSITI RADOIT SCHUH Posledne jsme psali o torn prod elenstvo ztraci zajem o kadove schfize, a nae je stale nutno vybizet elenstvo k na,i/Steve pravidelnych schiizi. Pak jsme psali, ze jeden z nejhlavnejSich dfivodfi jest prodlou2eni debaty o malidkosti, co2 dovede eloVeka k nude.

• • Druha ptidina tohoto zanedvavani spolkovych povinnosti, je ta, 2e schilze se konaji firedne suk, nepfesne, a nedbalYm zpiisobem. Vybetou se ptispevky, sem a tarn se stane osarnocena debata, a jede se domu. Kdyby byly ueineny zajimavymi, s nejakYm peknym programem po jedna.ni tadovych zaletiitostech, by se videlo jak by navSteva stoupala a jak by se schigze staly ptitaZlivYmi. ♦ Suche a bezplodne iftedni jednani se dlenum zmrzi a k tomu jet nejake svary odvadi mnohe od fidasti. Pa kidde schfizi mel by 1:4rt ptipraven nejaky zabavnY program neb vzdelavaci pfedstaveni. Nekolik tYcInfi zpatky jsme uvetejnili podrobnosti o eeskem filmu, kterY je k dostani velmi lehko a bez finanenich zavazkii. Kolik tacit do dnes si jej objednali? Kdy naposled se vase obratil na zasobu Muni v knihovnach neb od cestujicich kancelati neb od leteckYch spoleenosti na ptedstaveni po tadove schfizi? Tyto zdroje jsou vZdy ochotne pfijeiti tyto pomficky vzdelavaci a obyeejne bez jakehokoliv vydaje. _Tak zvane "Travel-

logues" jsou velice zajimave a poudne. K tomu se miliZe dodat, ze yak knihovny maji i k vyptjeeni filmovy projektor na ukazovani jejich filmfi. Take se music zminit o prvottidni filmy z televizni serie "Twentieth Century, ktere jsou k dostani zdarma, jen za za.placeni poStovneho lednu cestu, coZ tvoti priimerne. od deseti do patnacti cent& V ka2dem meste bYva organisace neb spolek kterY vlastni filmovY projektor, a v innoha pkipadech jsou to naS'e °been& skoly. Ohledne Omit ze serie "Twentieth Century", bude-li rad nektery mit zajem o obstarani techto Minn, s radosti poclam podrobnou zpravu. Jen se hlaste! je to snadneji ne2 si ttebas ptedstavujete.

• • Samortejme, na to vS'ecko musi bYti iniciativa u fitednikt a tadu Kdosi se musi toho chytit, ptednest, a se o to starat. Samo se to neudeld!

• • kde jsou pevecke sbory, mohly by ptednest kratSi potad libivych.

Tu se musi heed dodat ze veliky podet zpevakil neni tleba, ponevad2 nektere tady nemaji veliky podet na vyber zpevakfi, atd. Mali skupina, ochotna se dva neb tkikrat mesiene cvieit, mute docilit kvalitu nekdy spik neZ velika.

Tu se take nejedna o zpevu kterY nekdy spontanne - vynikne pill zavirani sini po taneeni zabave, nYbr'Z o skupine lidi kteti maji skuteenY zajem udr2ovati a propagovati krasny desky zpev.

K tomu je tteba pouze hudebni noty (ktere prodava firma Roliel v Chicagu za 40 aZ 60 centti sloZkou, jine), elen co umi dist noty a dokak dat' ton na klaviru, obstojne hlasy, a CHTIVOST! Je tteba i zadlenit mlade2 v takovych podnikach, a kdeZto dnes se udi hudbou skorem v kaZde high school v Texasu, nemela by bYt nouze o hudebni schopnosti. Musi se jim dat ale to prilelitost!

V hudebni umeni se ma, ziskati kvalita, ne htev a skroucenY ramus. Dodatedne, ohledne zpevu, dovoluji si doporueit bratra Frank Henzena v Dallas, ktery kidi sbor od tadu C. 84. Doufam, Zo mi to nebude mit za zle kdy2 se lide obrati na nej pro dalSi informace, jako obstarani not, atd. Zde je jeho adresa: 2236 Lolita, Dallas. Diky predem, bratte!

Jinde maji tady dobreho feenika, jen2 by mohl obeas ptednesti pouenou ptednaSku, Ochotnici mohli by nacvioiti basne, kuplety, solove eisla, neb jednoaktovky, a nezapomenout zaelenit do vSero mladeZ! Dile, riazne kontesty, a koneene taneeni zabavy. Nadherne tance, jako beseda, dtverylka, S'ateekovy tanec, a podobne by mohly byti provedeny.

• • Takto upravene schilze by se staly u4echtilou zabavou, a nebylo by tteba stale alarmovat k neasti, a elenstvo by se na ne teSilo. PH torn by neAkodilo, kdyby byli zvani i neelenove. TakovYm

Na severu ptestava u reky Sazavy, na jihu se konei u Dyje. Na vyehode milZeme ji obmeziti primkou, ktera spojuje Olomouc s Ustim keky -Jihlavky. Od jinYch krajin hornatYch se liSi hlavne tim, Ze nerna mohutnyeh pohori ani vysokYch hor. Nej yySSi vrcholy jeji, Devet skal (u Zakovy Hory) a Javoriee, dosahuji jen malo pies 830 m vy'Sky.

Kus 6eskeho raie Na malebne plani severovychodnich tech rozklada se Jiein, mesto mile a U.tulne. Na v g ech stranach prostird se rovina stromovim ovocnYm poseta, radami stromti kriZern protkand. Tu a tam pahorek malY se vypina, vedle zeleni zarostla, ciedina s bilYm kosteliekern a apravnou gkolou — kus eeskeho raje, Jiein jest mesto rozsahle a bohate. Majic pies pul desata tisice obyvatelt, jest mimo jine take sidlem vyggiho gymnasia, realky a Ustavu ueitelskeho.

Na prostrannem, imravnem namesti upina, k sobe pozornost stark zamek, Albrechtem z Valci gtYna vystavenY, jenZ neopatrnosti posklky r. 1620 vzal velikou Skodu, nebot' east jeho pradiem byla vyhozena do povetri. ValdStYri sam sidlival to east°, nebot' Jibyl hlavnim mestem vevodstvi fridlandskeho. R. 1624 zaldil v Jieine kolej jezovitskou a 1627 i seminar duchovenskY. Z ostatnich budov zasluhuji povgimnuti dekansky chram, nektere nave budovy skolni a eerna veZ. , kterou ji2 z daleka jest videti.

VeZni branou vede nas cesta do krasneho stromoradi lipoveho, jeZ se Wane etyrmi radami do Libosadu, zdeli pill hodiny cesty. Jdouce stromoraclim, vidime na prave strane pahorek 8ibenak, na nem2 v dobach minulYch bYyali odsouzenci popravovani.

Libosad je zahrada krasna, peolive ogetrovand a stromovim bohata. Jdouce malt kousek cesty, octneme se v Kartouzich, statni vetnici, dizene r.

1857 z bYvaleho kla gtera kartusianskeho. Vezniee prechovava v budovach, jd se malernu mesteeku podobaji, vice neZ' 900 trestancil. Vet gina jich obira se kerneslem, jeho mnohe druhy se

zde provozuji. Jsou obleeeni v gedy gat.

Vge jest obehnano vysokou zdi a kolern je stra2 vojenska rozestavena.

Zapadne od Kartouz vypina se kopec Zebin s kapliekou na vrcholu postavenou, jsa podoben piskove hromadce, jake deti si . delavaji na cestach a u potokt. Lid si vypravuje, ze Zebin vyklepal . ze sve boty Krakono g. Vsadil pry se s mylarskYrn chasnikem z necialekeho rnlYna o to, kdo drive dobehne na vrch Veli g Za Jieinem. Krakonog si mel stoupnouti na vrchol SneZky, starek na blizky Kumburk. Na dane znameni bdeli o zavod; starek pospichal, jak motel, ale Krakono g jiz ji2 ho dohanel. KdyZ pribehl na misto, kde nyni Zebin .stoji, citil, ze ho v bote cosi tlaei. Zul telly botu a vykiepal z ni pisek, jenk mu tarn v helm riapadal, a beZel dale. Ale tim zme gkal, nebot' chasnik by)) ua na vrcholu Veli ge. Z pisku z boty vysypaneho distal kopec Z ebin.

Od kaplieky na temeni prekrasnY jest rozhled. Nedaleko Jiein, za nim vesnic a dedin bez poetu. Blizko smutne Kartouzy a v udoli na levo mesteeko 2eleznice. Ze Udolim vypind se gedY Kumburk s divokYm Bradelcem, na zapad poutnickY Tabor s rozhlednou, dale Kozlov, pamatny Kozakov, a nad ddolim Reinsko-turnovskYm mohutne Trosky nezvyklero tvaru, v levo Prachov a Velig.

Cestovatel, uchvacen jsa krasnymi obrazy, nevi nas drive patriti, eemu se podivovati drive.

Projdeme dve vesnieky a jsme pod strani, na niz strmi diceniny Kumburku, hradu kdysi rozsahleho a velikeho.

Nyni spatrime tu jiZ jen etverhrannou veZ, nekolik sklepil a vchod do hra du, ponekud zachovaly. Zalolen byl pry Kumburk jiz se ye XIII. stoleti za PremYsla Itakara II, Po bitve belohors eni Albrechta z Valdske dostal se v , dr Z StYna, po jeho'A smrti byl prodan a pozdeji pobof-en.

Hned rekneme pros: posiedni dva roky bylo-jen v New- Yorku opakuji sto novych otevreno sto obratovYch galerii.

JeSte pied deseti roky nnv=ii•Novalo takovou galerii denne 7 at 8 fioi. Dnes projde . denne obrazovou galerii merne 50 at 60 navStevorkIt. A . co vie: Vsechny tyto galerie prodavaji obrazy a sochy kupcilm ze stredni spoleeenske vrstvy.

Aeditel Patterson rika, te Amerieanech se probudil neobyeejne silty hlad po umeni, jak to ostatne dosvedeuje take znaene z yYSena navaevnost muzeji, verejnYch obrazaren a galerii.

Pred 'Casein jsme v amerieke Panorame podavali ,zpravu o tom, Pi: 01) ChOd ni aim Sears Roebuck zavedl v nekolika stovkach s yYch filialek no SpojenYeh statech prodej hodnotnyeb °brazil a soch a jak s tim aspech.

Dues ut neni Sears Roebuck osamocen. Temer vSechny obrazove galerie se uz prizpiisobily americkYin obchodnim zvyklostern, to jest obchodu na splatky. Fred nekolika lety byl pro sodinu stredni vrstvy proble];i 1.oupit si bodnotne umelecke dilo, proto6e nebylo snadne zaplatit znacnou eastku penez najednou. Does skoro polovina hobourrieleckYch del je kupovana tYmi kupci na. splatky. V (lobe od Sesti inesicti do tri let zoplat5 kupec cello dila, a to ben droku.

Ale nejvic patrne prispela is teto modemi: renezandi, jak o nh hove i it reditel Patterson docela nova motodo timelecko-obchodni propagate. ilmta vYtvarnYeh galerii komukoli umep,,cka pitjeuje. Nerailte-li se kupec rozhodnout mezi nekolika vystavenVini obrazy, neni-li si jist, zda se mu easem , obraz jak se rika "neokooka", mute si jej vypiljeit.

Obrazova galerie mu pujei kterYkoli obraz za mesieni poplatek dvou procent kupni ceny. Kdyt se vypiiicovateli nelibi, nebo zatouti no jinem, mute si klidnC obraz vymenit.

Ale nejen soukronie galerie piljeuji obrazy. • Americka muzea maji takove mnotstvi umeleckYch del, te mohou ye syYch salech vystavovat sotva, zlomek toho, co bylo po leta nashromatcleno. A tak se i muzea rozhodla piijeoyat obrazy a sochy soukromniktim podle zasadY, te zakladni. teel muzeji-je v tom, aby vzbudila zajem o umeni v nejSirS'ich vrstvach obyvatelstva. Nektere vekejn galerie jsou dokonce tak daleko, te cletem ptijouji obrazy ularma.

Uspech teto mytlenky je takovSr, na peiklad male muzeum ye meste Utica, N. Y., rozpujeilo ut 700 umeleckYch del.

Muzeum moderniho umeni v New Yorku piljeilo soukromniktim 4,200 umeleckYch del.

Z toho 22 procent bylo casein vypiljeovateltim prodano. Ptijeovni slutbu zeidilo ve SpojenYch statech tit 590 vekejnYch muzeji.

Je snadne domyslit si, jak yYznam to ma provYtvarne umelce, zejmena pro mlade a zaeinajici malice sochaie.

Dnes mo;d•erni renesance i novy zpilsob splatkovYch obchodi rozSifila trh vYtvarnemu umeni na 50 milionti americkYch rodin. A nakonec prozradime, jak tento peerod vznikl a jak byl podchycen jou. prtimerneho Americana o dobre umeni.

Zni to skoro neuveritelne, ale myMenka se zrodila v jednom newyorskein koziAnickem obehode, jehot majitel miloyal vYtvarne umeni a skoupil v nekolika letech tolik obraz y, ze ut je nemel ka,m vaet.

Osudy dobreho vojaka Svejka RISE JAROSLAV HASEK DIL II. — NA FRONTE Pokraeovanl Plukovnik SehrOder vzdychl: "To je .baneni rezervnich dinstojnikti. Ty nab byl Bert ciluZen.

A kdy2 mame u rids aktivni dustojniky, jako je nadporueik LukaS, tu pan nadporueik mezi nas nejde."

Plukovnik SchrOder .v mrzute nalade odeSel doted, a kclyZ se rano pro!Judd, mel jeSte horSi. ,naladu, ponevadZ v novinach, ktere Ceti v posteli, nekolikrat naki veto ve zpravach z bojiSte, ze nak vojska byla odvedena na p •edem jiZ ptipravene pozice. Byly to slavne dny rakouske armady, podobajici se jako vejce k vejci cintim u Sabace.

'A pod tim dojmem v deset hodin rano plukovnik SchrOder k tomu vYkonu, ktery snad prove pojmenoval jednoroeni dobrovolnik poslednim soudem.

8vejk s jednoroenim dobrovolnikem stall na nadvoti a okkavall zde jiZ 'Sark, shO)u. konajici ddstojnik, plukovni adjutant a Sikovatel z plukovni kancelate se spisy o proVinilcich, na ktere eeka sekyra to spravedinosti - regimentsraport..

Koneene se objevil zachmutemi plukovnik v prtwodu hejtmana Sagnera ze skoly jednoroenich dobroyolnikft, nervozne sekaje 'bieikem pies holinku svYch vysolqich bot.

Ptijav raport, ptekl nekolikrate za hroboveho ticha mleeni kolem ' vejka a jednoroeniho dobrovolnika, kteti !delali "rechtsSaut" nebo "linksk,ut", toho, na kterem ktidle se plukovnik objevil. einili to s neobyeejnou dtkladnosti, ze si mohli ,krky vykroutit, ponevan to trvalo hezkou &will.

Koneene se plukovnik zastavil pied 'jecinoroenim dobrovolnikem, kterV hidsil: "Jednoroeni dobrovolnik..."

"Vim," tekl struene plukovnik, "vyvrhel jednoroenich dobrovolnikn. eim isle v civilu? Studujici klasicke filosofie? Tedy ohaly inteligent..."

"Pane hejtmane," zvolal na Sagnera,

VESTlifit "piived'te sear celon skolu jednoroeMen clobrovolnikn."

-1‘,0 se vi," hovoril dal k jednoroenimu dobrovolnikovi, "milostpan student klasicke filosofie, s kterym se musi naSinec 'Spinit. Kehrt euch! To jsem vedel. Faldy na mantlu v neporadku. Jako kdyby sel od cle y ky nebo se valel v nevestinci. Ja vas chlapeeku roznesu." kol a j ecinoroonlich Oobrovoiniku vstoupila no, nacivoti.

"Do etvercet" rozkazal plukovnik.

Obklopili souzene i plukovnika dzkyin $''. tvercem.

"Podivejte se na toho mute," plukovnik, ukazuje bieikem na jecinoroeniho clobrovolnika, "prochlastal vajednoroenich dobrovolniktt, ze si kterych ma se vychovat ka,dr tadnS7ch citstojnikti, kteti by vedli mtrZstvo k slave na poll bitevnim. Ale kam by yedl on sve muZstvo, tento ochlasta?

Zete Net nem na svou omluvu? Nemn:Sete. Podivejte se na neho. Ani na svou omluvu nemtiZe nic Net a v 'civilu studuje klasickou filosofii. Opravdu, klasickY ptipad."

Plukovnik prones1 posledni slova vs'znamne pomalu a odplivl si: "Klasie14 filosof, kterSr v opilosti sraZ'l stojniktun v noci eepice s Navy, Mensch! JeS• te 'Stesti, ze to byl jen takovy dtistojnik od delostrelectva."

V tom posleclnim' byla soust•edena vS'echna zest' 91. regimentu proti delostrelectvu v Budejovicich. Beda ktery padl v noci do rukou patroly od pluku, a naopak. hrozna, nesmititelna, vendeta, krevni msta, dedici se z roeniku na roenik, provazena na obou stranach tradienimi historkami, jak bud' infanteristi delosttelectvo do Vltavy, nebo opa'one. Jak se seprali v "Port-Arturu", u "litik" a v jinrch eetnYch zaba y -nichmstoechji skmetropl.

"Nicmene", pokraeovali plukovnik, "takova vec se musi bezptikladne potrestat, chlap musi bSrt vyloneen ze jednoroenich dobrovolnikfi, moraine znieen. Mame u2 dost takoqch inteligentft v armade. Regimentskanzlei!"

Sikovatel z plukovni kancelate ptistoupil va rhie se spicy a tu2kou.

Panovalo ticho jako v soudni slut, kde soudi vraha, a ptedseda soudu spusti: "PoslySte rozsudek."

A prove takovSon hlasem pronesl plukovnik: "Jednoroeni p1obrovolnik Marek odsuzuje se: jednadvacet clni

Bylo sly'Set, jak rychle se rozcleluji do etyrstuptt a odchazeji, pri eem2 plukovnik isekl k hejtmanovi Sdgnerovi, ze to neklape, aby s nimi na nadvori odpnldne opakoval kroky.

"To musi hrmit, pane hejtmane. A jeSte, nee°. Madera bych byl zapornnel.

Reknete jim, .ze celd skola jednoroenich dobrovolnikft ma pet dui kasarnika, aby nikdy nezapomneli na sveho bYvaleho kolegu, toho lumpa, Marka."

A lump Merck stal vedle Svejka a tvatil se npine spokojene. Lepe to 1,1' s nim dopadnout nemohlo. Je rozhoclne lepSi Skrabat v kuchyni brambory, modelovat blbouny a obirat Zebro ne kvat s pinYmi kat'aty pod uragannim ohnem nepritele: "Einzelnabfallen!

Vrativ se od hejtmana Sagnera, plukovnik SchrOder zastavil se pied Svejkem a podival se na nebo pozorne.

8veikovu figuru v ten okamZik reprezentoval jeho pinY, usmevavy oblieej, zakrojenY velkyma nSima, vyetthujicima pod naraZenou vojenskou Celek delal vyraz naprosteho bezpeei a neznalosti nejakeho provineni. Jeho oei se ptaly: "Provedl jsem, prosim, nem?" Jeho oci mluvily: "Mohu ja, prosim, za neco?"

A plukovnik shrnul sve pozorovani v otazku, kterou dal 'Sikovateli z ,kovni kancelare: "Blb?" A tu videl plukovnik, jak fista toho dobrackeho oblieeje peed nim se otviraj i.

"Poslune hlasim, pane obrst, blb," odpovedel za gikdvatele Svejk.

Plukovnik SchrOder . kYvl adjutantovi a odekl s nim stranou. Pak zavolali.

Mkovatele a prohliZeli material o Svejkovi.

"Aha", tekl plukovnik Schroder, "to je tedy ten sluha nadporueika Luka,k, kter3i se mu -die jeho raportu ztratil v Tabote. Myslim, ze pani dUstojniei ji si sami vychova,vat sve sluhy.

Nu tai vidite. Ma tedy dost easu, aby si mohl sveho sluhu vycepovat."

Plukovnik Schroder _pinstoupil ku Svejkovi, a divaje SP, na jeho dobracky oblieej, tekl: "PitoliV clobytku, mate tfi tiny verscharft, si ho ocl-

Tak se Opel setkal Svejk s jednoroenim dobrovolnikem v plukovniin areste a nadporueik Lukas se mohl velice poteSit, kdyZ si ho dal plukovnik Schroder k sobs zavolat, aby mu iekl: "Pane nadporueiku, asi pied tYdnern po svem prijezdu k pluku jste, mne podal raport o prideleni sluhy, ponevad2 se y arn vas` sluha ztratil na nadraZi v Tabore. PonevadZ se vratil..."

"Pane plukovniku..." prosebne ozval' se nadporueik LukaS. "Roznodl jsem se," pokraeoVal sMarazem plukovnik, "posadit ho na tiny a pak ho zas poSlu k Nadporneik Lukas zdreene se vypotacel z plukovnikovi kancelare.

Bohm tech tri dnu, ktere stravil Svejk ye spoleenosti jednorobniho dobrovolnika Marko, bavil se velice dobre. KaIcleho veeera oba pora.dali na pryenach vlastenecke projevy.

Voter z arestu ozYvalo se v2dy toto: "Zachovej -nam, Hospodine" a "Prinz Eugen, der edle Ritter". Piezpivali tea celou radu vojenskYcla pisnieek, a kdyZ pilchazival profous, znelo mu na uvitanou: Ten na.s starej profous, ten nesmi zentriti, pro toho si musi eert z pekla Prijde pro nej s vozem a praSti s nim vo zem, eertii si s nim v pekle peltne zatopej...

A nad pryciiou nakreslil jednoroeni dobrovolnik profouse a pod neho napsal text stare pisnieky: Kciy2 jsem Sel do Prahy pro jelita, potkal jsem na tests tajtrdlika, nebyi to tajtrdlik, byl to protons, kdybych byl neutek, byl by me kous.

A zatimco oba talc clraZdili protonse, jak v Seville ancialuskeho byka (iervenYm Satkem, nadportioik LukaS s nzkosti oeekaval, kdy se objevi Svejk, aby hlasil, ze nastupuje 째pet sluZbu. 3. 8VEJKOVI PkitTIODY V KTRALYHIDE TeclnaclevaclesatY plink se stehoval do Mostu nad Litavon Kiralyhidy.

"S tint vzajemnym parenim," poznamenal Svejk, " je to vtibec zaji'nava vec. V Praze je eiSnik Cernoch Kristian, jeho8 otec byl habeSskym kralem a dal se ukazovat v Praze na 8tvanici v jednom cirku.

"Vypravovala se," prohodil Svejk, "Ze Rakousko ma piece kolonie, nekcic na severu. Nejakou to zem cisare Fr. Josefa..."

"Nechte si to hoSi," rekl jeden vojak z eskorty, "to je root nevopatrny vypravovat o nejakej zerrn cisare Fr. Josefa,. Nejrnenujte nikoho a udelate lepSi..."

Desatnik z eskorty byl celej neatastnY a zarval na Svejka, aby drZel hubu. Ale volani Citilo se jako lavina.

6etnici zatlabovali Spahr a zaraizili cestu eskorte a davy dal kvaly sve:' "Nazdar!" a mavaly eepicemi a klobouky.

Byla to poradna manifestace. Z hotent naproti nadraZi z oken mavaly nejake demy kapesniky a kti6ely: "Heil!" Do "nazdar" missilo se "hell" i ze apaliru a nejakemu nadSenci, ktery pou2i1 to prilelitosti, aby vykrikl: "Nieder mit clen Serben," pocirazili nohy a trochu po nem Slapali v umele tlaeenici.

A jako elektricka jiskra se neslo dal: "ITZ jdou!"

Tak vesli na nadra2i a Ali k ureenemil vojenskema viaku, kdyz malem by byla ostrostrelecka kapela, jeji2 kapelnik byl vaiZne popleten neeekanou manifestaci, spustila "Zachovej nam, Hospodine".

S (TAY CZMII LESSONS FOR BEGINNERS Devata aloha — The Ninth Lesson Vowels and Consonants In Czech, the vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and y. They may be either short or long.

The rest of the letters in the alphabet are called consonants.

These consonants lia.ve about the same sound as in English: b, d, f, h, 1, m, n, p, r, s, v, and z.

Examples: bude naeini doSel prsten fazol rano hrdina, strana ley vul maslo zima (Translate) The consonants b, d, 11, v, and z have different sounds when they appear at the end of a syllable or at the end of a word. The d sounds like a t, 11 like ch, b like a p, z like an 5, and v like an f.

Examples: (I syllable) (2 or more dub syllables) vuz pohadka hiev kolebka rad poukazka pluh vka vlhko (Translate) Some consonants fall into a special category, because they do not have exact English equivalents: CH — as in "loch" or the German "Bach" (has to be demonstrated to be heard correctly.) ucho, chystati, chyba, chrinka. g — as in gun, got. granat, gro5, gurna k — as in cafe, cat. koeka, c — like is in mats, bats.

costa, cena, cizi — like ch in chair, chureh Glen, elo yek, rest j — like y in yet, yam. jelen, jernny, jed — like sh in shoot, shirt.

Skoda., skola, Sindel like the s in measure, pleasure. iertovali, Zaludek, Zarovka.

BENEVOLENT ORDER

Postmaster: Please Sena Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. Box 100, TEMPLE, TEX

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK A correction is long overdue on (Mr report about two months ago that the two Kuban brothers, Johnny and JO, of Fort Worth, belong to Lodge 154 of that city. The truth is that the two singing brothers are actually members of Lodge 92. Someone in Fort Worth reminded us of that fact some time ago, and the correction got loqt it, the shuffle. Our Apologies.

• • In last week's issue, page 23, the letter on that page from Lodge 54 in West, appears to have no sender, An oversight on our part omitted the name of Charlene Volcik. Our apologies, Charlene.

• We have been writing and waxing forth in both sections iecently about lodge work, cooperation, poor attendance at lodge meetings, etc. We mentioned that meetings that last too long and seem to drag on and on cause members to stay away from them. At times, the sessions seem to bog down in endless debate over small, insignificant things.

Another way to stimulate interest in lodge meetings is to try to always present some sort of entertainment after the meeting. True, in some cases, the entertainment will not be fancy or elaborate, because of limited resources.

Some time ago, we gave you information regarding a Don Shaw film on Czechoslovakia, how to get hold of it, etc. How many lodges made an effort to procure this film? Films are always an Interesting source of entertainment.

Travel agencies, airlines, all have very interesting "travelogues," which are both entertaining and educational.

They are almost always free of charge, since the company or film is eager to get the most exposure for their film and their firm. Have you checked with your, local public library to see what films they have available for educational purposes? There is almost

MEASURE OF SUCCESS When sunset falls upon your day And fades from out the west, When business cares are put away And you lie down to rest.

The measure of the day's success Or failure may be told In terms of human happiness And not in terms of gold.

Is there beside some hearth tonight More joy because you wrought?

Does someone face the bitter fight With courage you have taught?

Is something added to the store of human happiness?

If so, the day that now is o'er Has been a real success.

ways at least one film projector in every community that could be borrowed for the showing of films. A boy from the local high school would probably be willing to operate it, since most high schools maintain some sort of visual aid department. The "Twentieth Century" television series has all its excellent films available for use just for the asking. I recall that Lodge 130 in Dallas last year showed the film "Munich to Moscow" from their series, and proved to be most informative. If any entertainment chairman of any lodge desires details on how to get hold of these Twentieth Century films, let me know, and I will oblige. (Of course, these films are sponsored by the Prudential Company, but I don't think we have to fear a mass termination of SPJST policies in favor of Prudential. Besides, you can cut the sound and projector lamp during the insurance commercial).

Getting the services of a good speaker front time to time always stimulates interest. He wouldn't always have to discuss insurance, but perhaps some other timely topic of interest to members in a particular area. Another

source of stimulation is the formation of singing groups. Here we are speaking of people really interested in GOOD singing, not the type that gets started while the hall is being closed after a dance. Surely there is somebody in each lodge who knows just enough music to strike the written note for two, three, or four part harmony. The music? If there isn't someone in the community who has a collection of music for this purpose, the Rohel company in Chicago has quite a selection of piano sheet music, Czech music, that is. This could be a starter. You'd be surprised what the result of eight or ten good voices will be, with three or four part harmony. If there is a qualified choral director in the area, so much the better, but you will be astonished what a group of gifted amateurs can accomplish. Large numbers do not always insure the success of such a venture. If the group, is willing to work hard at it. a smaller group can accomplish just as much as a large one. I'm taking the liberty of imposiPg on Bro. Frank Henzen of Dallas and refer to him anyone who is interested in procuring sheet music, lyrics, etc., for a group of singers. I'm sure that Frank can refer them to the proper channels, and perhaps give a word or two of advice. Frank's address is 2236 Lolita Drive, Dallas. Bro Henzen directs the Lodge 88 Choral Group.

Thank you Brother Henzen!

Don't be afraid to try something new.

Just because your lodge has NEVER Put on a one-act Czech play is no reason that you couldn't do it. It would also be another way of fostering the Czech language and give the youngsters some valuable experience. You don't have to be a Broadway actor to put these things on. Did :you ever think of inviting the local high school band to give a concert at the hall some Sunday afternoon? Young people are almost always delight to "show off"

• In short, people like to be entertained, and are usually not too hard to please. Build your activities around some sort of entertainment, and you'll see how your enthusiasm picks up. It might be a good idea to invite non111 i ' wbers to your func'cions. You'll be reacling, the message of the SPJST, kite! , rating yourselves into the community better, and, of course, yoli. might even pick up a member or two.

There is no reason the SPJST lodge in every community cannot be a rallying area for things cultural, benevolent, and civic pride. It can be done. The inauguration of any such new project depends beavily upon the leadership, the officers, of the lodge. They have to LEAD, to initiate; people look to them for that. It isn't always an easy task, but as Josh Billings once said, "It ain't no disgrace to make a mistake. The disgrace conies in making the. same mistake twict." Try to identify the lodge with something good, beneficial, and mutually rewarding to the community. Try it. Do it.

The host lodge assures everyone that there will be ample space for you with plenty of refreshments. A dance will follow with good music furnished by the Randy K Orchestra of Weimar, Texas.

Princesses, please be advised that for your attire you may choose any color, long or short formal with white or pastel elbow-length gloves.

Duchesses may choose any short pastel dress with short white gloves and white shoes without socks.

All escorts may wear dark suits or white coats with, dark trousers and dark bow tie.

All the contestants in this contest contest will furnish their own corsages and boutonnieres.

There will be a rehearsal Friday, May 31 at Lodge 142, starting at 8:00 p.m. for all of the participants, and please be at the Lodge Saturday at 7:00 p.m. for picture-taking.

If I may be of further assistance on this matter-, please advise.

Dear Vestnik Reader:::

LETTERS CORRECTION

In our last issue in reporting the District. Seven Meeting in Floresville, we erroneously reported that Sister Agnes Rektorik was deceased, and that her 50-year pin was accepted by Jarosla y Rektorik. As Brother Rektorik reports: "She can beat you playing canasta, and is on the go all the time."

Our apologies, Sister Rektorik. — Ed. )O( REPORT FROM DISTRICT V ' YOUTH DIRECTOR,

This is a follow-up letter to my previous one, again reminding our membership of the District V Queen, King and Du6hess Ball, which will be held.

Saturday, June 1 at Lodge No, 142, 5508 Nolda Street, Houston, Texas, The ceremony will commence at 8:00 p.m. sKith a grand march.

A cordial invitation is extended to everyone to the Ball, as there will be thirty-eight participants in this event includin,g our Miss SPJST, Sandra Watson. Therefore, we the District Officers would appreciate your attendance, to help support the Youth of our District.

I am behind with my writing this year. It seems that I am just too busy all the time with things around the home. At the present time, I have my sister-in-law, Frances Kamas, living with us. She has been ill since March 8th, and is still not well. She has been back and forth to the hospital, but is with us again at the present.

The crops are planted but everything is very dry. The ground has big cracks and there is not much chance of anything growing with it like this.

We had our meeting on the 4th of May. It had been delayed from April because of other complications. Our regular meeting will be held on June 8th at Firemen's Park kitchen at 8:00 o'clock. I hope all the members can make it to this meeting.

The Kamas family reunion will be held on June 2nd at the Nelsonville SPJST Hall. All who are related in any way are asked to come to this reunion.

Visitors are always welcome. Chicken barbecue will be prepared and each family is asked to bring something for dessert. The family tree history is to be prepared. and presented by Mr. Frank Spanhel. I hope he's not having too much trouble with it.

Wednesday, May 22, 1963 Iloping to see you all at the next meeting, I remain, Fraternally yours, Mrs. Steve Kamas, Reporter )O) LODGE 165, MOULTON

Dear Readers and Writers: Once again it is time for me to write some news. The weather is dry and the nights are cool. Crops look fair but need rain.

Just to remind you members that our May meeting has been postponed to the last Monday in May. the 27th, at 7:30 p.m. Please do not forget this date and time. The change of time is because there is too much going on during the spring on Sundays and attendance is very poor. Last Sunday, only a few came, so no use to start meeting. I hope that you all will come to this next meeting. There are too many picnics, bridal showers, reunions, and 'other celebrations on every Sunday, and it is hard to get members to come to meetings on Sundays. Again this spring there are many weddings taking place. We are invited to a wedding on June 1st. There will be a wedding dance at the Wiede Hall with the Tousek Band to furnish the music.

So this will be all for today and I will try to write more next time.

Two reasons are: the very remarkable work being done by Brother J. M. Skrabanek, on the one hand and the equally noteworthy performance being turned in tins year by the organizers of the district who have shown a very heart-warming response. Never before in my memory have so many done so much so consistently. The list of organizers given above reveals that a fine steady attention is being given to the needs of our organizational . activities by a remarkably large numbdr of Lard-working representatives. There are others who deserve equal credit for our great accomplishment for the four months ending April 30th, I hose names do not appear in the above list only because they did not send in any applications during April.

However, without them the success for the period under discussion would have been lessened. Their names will be listed in the overall report which will be published after the outcome of the Queen's Contest is announced.

I was sorry to hear that Brother Danny Glide was in an accident. Danny is at John Sealy Hospital and is doing fine. Danny, I am 'hoping by the time this letter is printed you will be home.

Brothers and sisters, we are having a special meeting Sunday, May 26th at 2 p.m. at my residence, 7928 Pruitt Drive, Galveston. Let's come and have a nice crowd. Refreshments will be served.

Fraternally, Frank H. Becan Jr. Organizer ) 0( LODGE 6, COTTONWOOD Dear Readers, Well, we had a nice rain which we all enjoyed. The ground has plenty of moisture now. The gardens look very good and the grass is growing.

But we can't make a crop without rain, and if we get rain we have grass to go with it.

I would like to thank our good sisters for the nice donations they gave to the Lodge, Sister Emilie Voehoska,

IltSTNI for the garbage can, which we needed badly, and Sister Beatrice Williams of Irving, for the 50 yards of material for the curtains. These will beautify our Lodge.. We certainly appreciate it very much. Thank you!

We had some energetic members from our Lodge, of which we are very proud. They walked a good many miles to our neighboring lodge at Elk. I saw them last Sunday at the meeting.

They didn't seem too tired or to have lost any weight.

One of our very sweet sisters from the kitchen committee won the door prize, Sister Katie Krizan.

I would like to thank Brother Lawrence Williams for showing us the pictures of the Youth Club which he had taken at the Easter program. The little ones hunting Easter eggs and the little boys and girls doing the "twist" were real cute.

Be sure and come to our next meeting, June 2.

Fraternally y11'ie.

Martha Monthie, Chmn., Kitchen Com. )O) LODGE POKROK NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Vestnik Readers: The regular monthly meeting was held Friday night, May 10. The attendance was fair.

Brother Jarda Cerny donated the shrimp and trimmings and the refreshments. Thanks, Brother Cerny.

• The Board of Directors and some members of the Youth Club put in a good day's work at the new lodge site Saturday. Brother Rudy Sefcik donated his truck for that day which Came in very useful. A few more Saturdays with more of the energetic youth memberS' help, and the place will be in tip-top shape. In the meantime more volunteer help is needed.

To the members of Lodge 88: If you have a Saturday with spare time, go by the site; one of the lodge officers will be there to let you know what's to be done.

Tuesday night, May 14, the Entertainment Committee members met in the 'home of Brother and Sister Harry

15 and Mickie Rice for a special meeting.

Brother President Tim Kostom also was present, as was Dramatic Club Director Milos Karel. They informed us, that due to the Czech Day celebration at Wallis, Texas on Sunday, June 9, the Czech play scheduled for Sunday, June 9th, Las been set for Sunday, June 16th, starting at 3:30 p.m. Many of our lodge members always like to go to Wallis for that occasion, Rev. Nesvadba, of Wallis asks all his friends to come out for the day. Wallis is between RoSenberg• and Sealy on ,Highway 36.

— ) LODGE NO. 84 BALL TEAM, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: There has been a long delay in my reports due to the fact we had all our ;games rained out for three straight weeks of our schedule. Finally, on Thursday night, May 9th, we were able to play our first game in the "American League" and quite fortunately I am able to report that our team won, by a score of 4 to 3 from Terrico to open the season successfully. Glen Williams, our new southpaw pitcher, hurled a very fine game and received good support afield from the team.

His battery mate, Larry (Connie) Brennan turned in an outstanding game behind the plate. Leading hitters were Larry Brennan with a homerun and a single; Glen Williams with a double and a single; Paul Valenta with two singles; Bob Spoor with a single and a walk and Albin (Biro) Vrana with a single.

Thursday night, May 16, we played the Dallas Hawks. Then on Friday night May 17, we again were scheduled to play the Dallas Hawks, this being a makeup game that 'had been rained out on April 25th. Then on Thursday night, May 23, we play McCord Music, at Lawnview No. 1; game time, 7:30 p.m..

Monday night, May 13th, we opened play in the "Trinity League" at Samuel Diamond No. 1, and we split a doubleheader with the Madewell Electric team. We dropped the first game by a score of 10 to 9. We were behind SEE LETTERS on page 19

Dear Brothers and Sisters: The following is a report of our SPJST Order for the year of 1962. This report is taken from the annual statement filed with the State Board of Insurance. I am submitting this report for your information as directed by our By-Laws, Article No 39, section F. The items referred to in this report are designated by Exhibit numbers.

EXHIBIT I. Tois exhibit represents the increases and decreases of our assets on the cash basis, as taken from the annual statement. It shows an increase of $640,257.90 for the year 1962.

EXHIBIT II. This exhibit is figured on an accrual basis, as iequired by the State Board of Insurance. This exhibit itself takes a lot of time to complete, since every item has to be figured separately and, all the interest is calculated whether paid or not. This item shows a net gain from operation for the year in the amount of $180,593.43.

EXHIBIT III. This exhibit shows the assets and liabilities combined with the cash, and accrual method, with the life certificate reserves figured by the actuary, Mr. B. Werkenthin. All the figures are first tested and refigured before they are entered in the State Insurance Report.

EXHIBIT IV. This exhibit shows the increases and decreses in the mortgage leans, giving you a complete account, showing the number of farm. and city loans and the amount outstanding.

EXHIBIT V. This exhibit explains the income from interests, dividends, rents, and royalties.

EXHIBIT VI. This exhibit is a complete breakdown of certificates issued during the year. We issued a total of 1,630 certificates, for $2,927,127,00 of insurance -- from this amount we deduct 312 death claims, 55 maturities (this represents endowments paid-off, such as J.E., 15 year, 20 year, etc.), 723 expiry (this consists mostly of J.T. policies that are converted to adult class and also any policy that is changed from regular insurance to extended insurance), 240 surrenders (this consists of policies that withdrew, but have reserves. We pay the member the full amount of reserves and cancel out the insurance risk), 157 lapses (policies

Wednesday, May 22, 1903 that withdraw; either directly or through, suspension and expulsion, but do not have any reserves). You will note that from the 1,630 certificates issued, we subtract 887 certificates (explained in the above paragraph) — and this leaves us a gain of 743 certificates for $1,835,605.00 of insurance.

This exhibit is followed by the valuation report, and the $50,000.00 contingency reserve is an additional protection to the $1,996,739.34 unassigned f unds.

The progress chart follows and represents the progress of our Order from. the year 1902 to 1-1-63.

I urge you members to study this report, and furthermore, to save this copy of the Vestnik for future reference. Oftentimes, you may have an occasion to refer back to our annual statement, and if you keep this copy, it will come in handy.

Our organizers can use this to good advantage because here you have the proof that we have a good sound Fraternal Society.

Fraternally yours, Ben Zabcik Financial Secretary, Supreme Lodge, SPJST )O( Dear Fellow Workers: Our records show that we received 269 applications for the amount of $556,600 of life insurance during April for a total of 670 applications for $1,.346,000. of life insurance during the first four months in 1963.

This year we have exceeded last year's business for the same period of time by 160 members and $295,500 of life insurance. Our Congratulations and Thanks to all of you.

During the Queen, King and Duchess Contest which was held in March and April, we received 463 applications for $910,000 of life insurance.

We will withhold the top organizers for April to a later date in order not to reveal the out come of the Queen, King and Duchess Contest.

Wednesday, May 22, 1963 LETTERS continued froin page 15 9to 0 in the last of the 4th inning, then we put on a rally and we scored 7 runs in that inning and two more in the 5th inning to tie up the game and we nearly won the game after all seemed in vain. However, they scored a run in the top of the 7th and came out ahead by a final score of 10 to 9.

We were all real proud of our team, the way they were trying until the end.

Batteries for the game were Frank Mach III (3) and Wesley Jaska (3) pitching, -and Larry Brennan catching.

With better support afield, we should have won the game as Mach and Jaska both hurled creditably.

Leading hitters for the first gime were Wes Jaska with 2 singles and a walk; Alex Parma with a double and a sacrifice; Albin Vrana with a single; Frank Mach III with a single and a walk;- Jody Rejcek, a single, and Larry Brennan, Glen Williams, and Bob Spoor all had a walk apiece.

In the second game, we won by a score of 9 to 6 as the game went rather easily in our favor. Glenn Williams hurled a very fine game, although he was a little wild, he walked 8 batters, allowed 5 hits and struck out 8 batters: Larry Brennan again turned in an outstanding game behind the plate.

Leading hitters. were Albin (Bino) Vrana with three singles; Larry Brennan, a triple and a walk; Alex Parnia, a single; Frank MachIII, a single; Paul Valenta, a single; Adolph Janecka, single; Ted Dusek had two walks; Glenn Williams and Bob Spoor with one ,walk apiece. The team played a much better game afield and proved that we have a real good team this season.

Monday night, May 20, we play another double header. Our opponents will be the Lenfor Chiefs, an all-Indian Team, and we will play these two games at Lawnview Diamond No. 2.

Then on Monday night, May 27, we will play, a doubleheader with Friendly Chevrolet, first game is at 7:30 p.m. at Samuel Diamond. NG. 1. If we can play all of these games, we will again be on schedule. • The week of June 3, an open City_ Tournament will be played starting on Friday night June 7 and Saturday night June 8 and Sunday June 9.

There will be teams from all over the state entered in this special invita-:. tonal open tournament. This will afford an opportunity for -softball fans

VPSTNfIK to really see 1-3ome real good teams perform.

Thanks to the loyal supporters who were present at our games, and we hope a lot more of you members and fans will - make a little more effort to come out and root for our team.

I have a rather full. schedule this summer myself and will consequently not be able to make all of our softball games. I am one of the coaches for C e Rio Grande Ramblers, boys' baseball team, class A, 9 and 10-yearold boys and my on Don is playing on this team. Be is playing third base and will also take his turn on the mound.

Indications are that he should have a react good season. Their games are on Friday nights, and after schobl is out in June, they will also play on Monday nights. I find it real interesting and quite rewarding working with the smaller boys who are quite capable of playing a real good game of baseball.

So, if you do not see me at the softball games, remember I am at another park with the Rio Grande Ramblers, at the Churchill Diamond in North Dallas, working with the younger set.

Do come out to our games if you can. We will be glad to have you present and hear you cheer.

Dear Members: The Lodge officers of our Lodge met last Wednesday night, May 15th, for a discussion about our quarterly barbecue supper and dance. At our last meeting it was decided to hold this affair after our next meeting, which would have been June 2, but due to conflict with other surrounding functions in the area, the officers decided it would be better to postpone the barbecue supper and dance for our second meeting on Sunday, July 6. But, remember that our meetings will be held as usual, beginning at 3:00 p.m., followed by the youth club meeting.

Family social and games will be held as always for those who wish to stay with us. We do hope we will have good attendance, even though we're not having our barbecue supper and dance.

There will be some more discussion concerning our picnic, which will be held July 28, so won't you be a good member and come to the meeting and help us make decisions so that we might make it a better picnic than ever? Already some of the kind sisters are in full swing sewing on the curtains for our Lodge Hall. We hope to have them ready by May 25th. We still may need some more last minute volunteers to help us get through by then.

Everyone seems to be so busy now withs the gardens and field wO rk s() with let's just hope for more rain.

I would like to write a few lines about those members of our Lodge who walked all the way to Elk from West (our house). They were: Brothers John Krizan, George Straten, Alvin Schuetz, Johnnie Krizan, and Ruthie and Dorothy Schuetz. They started at 8:00 a.m. and arrived there at 1:30 pm. with 30 minutes out for lunch, which was eaten on the road and brought to them by their families. They enjoyed the feast together. Joining them after lunch was Brother James P avli;6ek and son, Jimmy, with just three more miles to their destination.

The distance from West to Elk is 20 miles.

Then all of us attended the Elk lodge meeting and enjoyed the delicious supper that was served to all 20 of us. All

20 of us would like to express our sincere thanks to the fine Elk members for their hospitality, and we invite them to visit us sometime soon, too.

The choral group is now planning to have a "Variety Show" put on by its members. This show will include lots of good comedy and beautiful production numbers. Just as the name implies it will be a variety ,of acts — something to entertain everyone and promises to be, a memorable evening.

DR. .!. M. SKRIVANEK LEARNING RUSSIAN AT AAIVI, College Station — Texas Aggies in beginning Russian language classes think the Soviet can keep their alphabet. No one else wants it.

The Russian letters in script or in printed form differ considerably from our alphabet. The letter "m" in handwritten English, for example, is a "t" in Russian.

"But once tbe student learns to write the Russian language, almost phonetic," Dr. John M. Skrivanek of the A. and M. Modern Languag es faculty said. "After a few weeks, most of the students write it pretty well."

Dr. Skrivanek is a native Texan of Czech ancestry.

He recently co-authored "Russian Conversation and Reading."

Last summer Dr. Skrivanek was in the New York-New Jersey area to contact Russian speakers with a nativeborn command of the language. Twenty natives of Russia taped recodings for use in conjunction with the text book by Dr. Skrivanek and Professor Fedor S, Mansvetov, who has headed the Russian language program in the Pentagon.

Many who fled communism located in the Nev; jersey-New York area, Dr. Skrivanek said.

The Texas A. and M. professor is -a busy man, since a knowledge of the Russian language is desired more and more by scientists and engineers.

"We feel we are performing a national service by teaching the Russian language," Dr. Skrivanok said. He explains that an effective way to keep track of the communists is to understand their technical publications.

"I've read that the Russians, not because they have any love for us, have 25 million people studying English," Dr. Skrivanek said.

The need for American scientists or engineers who also are qualified to translate written Russian is underlined by a recent communication to Dr. Skrivanek. A major American publishing firm seeks college graduates with degrees in physics, chemistry or mathematics, plus a good reading knowledge ,of Russian. The goal is , to translate V2.e latest Russian technical journals and books.

The Russian language has been taught at Texas A. and M. for several years along with French, German and Spanish. After the Russians orbited Sputnik, Rusian classes attracted more Aggies.

Texas A. and M. offers three years of Russian language instruction. Dr. Skrivanek teaches most of the sections.

He took his doctorate at famed Charles University in Prague before the communist take-over in Czechoslovakia.

Russia then would not allow American scholars to study in the Soviet Union.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Well we are still dry here in this part of Nueces County. Many people had good rains, but we we were left out. Our ,drought here in this particular area is getting serious. About onefourth of the feed crop has been lost and if it doesn't rain soon, it will be too late for the feed. The cotton crop looks fair, but very much in need of rain.

We will have our June meeting on the first Sunday hi June, which. is June 2nd, It will start at 2:00 n.m. and note: it will be held in the home of our President, Brother Jaro Rektorik. We cannot get the Community Hall so he has invited the lodge to have its ;meeting at his home, which is about 7 miles northwest of Robstown.

Everybody is urged to come to this meeting because we will work out plans for the 50th Anniversary of our Lodge.

Everyone is expected to help in one way or another, so you members please come and pitch in so we can make it a success. Th.e meeting will be as usual, except that it will be at the home of our President and Sister Rektorik.

The Ladies bring along some refreshments so we can have our social after the meeting.

I read in the Vestnik about the District meeting at Floresville, and I surely was sorry I couldn't make it as I had previous commitments, but my husband, Brother Janak, went and I sent a cake. I am very glad that it did so Well; It was the iheart-shaped one that was auctioned off and brought so much. I hope Sister Holasek enjoyed it.

So I am reminding everyone again to come to the meeting on June 2 at Fraternally yours, Mary Janak, Reporter )0( Being classed as a gentleman or lady is a compliment—and a terrible handicap when you're engaged in an argument.
