Svejk na chvili se zarazil, ale okamOW se vzpamatoval. Jeho oblidej byl play jasu a klidu, kdy odpovedel: "To je provas, posluSne hlasim, pane obrlajtnant, Jenom nevim, kde mate svoje kupe a potom take nevim, jestli proti tomu, abych Sel s varni, nebude mit nic pan komandant vlaku.

Nad vojenskYrn taborem v Moste panovalo noeni ticho. V baracich pro inuastvo tkasli se vojaci zimou a v dastojnickeh baracich otvirali okna, ponevadZ bylo pketopeno.

"Ja, chodim tam, kam mne pkika2e," tenkYm hlasem iekl MikulaSek; "dostanu listek od neho a u2 jdu fasovat pro nemocnici, a nesu to domil."

"A kdyby ti otazal se Svejk "abys ukradl plukovni kasu, udel•al bys to? Ty zde za stenou nadavaS, ale tkaseS se pied nim jako osika."

MikulaSek zamrkal malYma odima: "To bych si rozmyslil."

"Nic si nesmia rozinejSlet, ty jedno upoceny mlacle!" rozkkikl se na neho vejk, ale umlkl, ponevadZ se oteirkely dveke a vstoupil nadporuelk Luka,A. Byl, jak se mohlo ihned pozorovat, ve velice &bre nalade, ponevadt mel depici obracene.

MikulaSek se lekl tak, Ze zapomnel seskoeit se stolu, ale salutoval vsecle, zapomenuv jeate ke vkinu, ae nema na hlave depici.

"PosluSna hlasim, pane obrlajtnant, ae je viechno v pokaclku," hlasil Svejk, zaujav pevne vojenske vzezieni dle vSech pkedpisa, pit eenlz cigareta mu zastala v astech.

Chtel seskoeit, a° nemohl, chtel ocipovedet, a nemohl, clatel prestat salutovat, ule netlo to.

"PosluSne hlasim, pane obrlajtnant," etval se Svejk, "Ze revolver neni naladovanej."

"Tak ho naladujte, iEIvejku!"

"Poslune hlasim, pane obrlajtnant, te nemaroe tacitly patrony a te ho pUjde tetko sest •elit se stole, J si dovolYm podotknout, pane obrlajtnant, te je to 1VlikulaSek, bars od pana majora Wenzla.

Svejk si odplivl a v jeho hlase a v tom, to mluvil o MikulaSkovi ve strednim rode, bylo slykt iipine ppovrteni nad zbabelosti sluhy rnajora Wenzla a nad jeho nevojenskYm chovanim.

"Dovoite," pokraeovol Svejk, "a,bych si k nemu `Vyhod'te ho, Svelku!"

Svejk vyvecll tresouciho so MikulaSka na ehoclbu, zavrel za sebou dvere a na choclbe k nemu rekl: "Tak jsem ti, pitomy chlape, zachranil tivot. At se vrati pan major Wenzl, at' mite za to potiehounku prineseS lahev vine.

"Ja jsem..."

"Cert jse," opovrtlive vyjaclril se Svejk; "sed' na prahu a eekej, at prijde tvfij major Wenzl."

"To je dost," uvital Svejka nadnorueik Lukas, "to jdete, ja chci s vami Nemusite zas tak pitome stat haptak. Sednete si, Svejku, a nechte si to 'die rozkazu'. Drtte hubu a davej te dobrY pozor!

Nadporueik Lukas nemel ptivodne v uniysln nekcie se zdrtet. Sel k veCeru z tabora do mesta jen do mad'arskeho divadla v Kiralyhide, kde hrali nejakou mad'arskou operetku s macatYmi Ndovkami-here&ami v precinich filohach.

— ove — personal names, such as Va.clavove, which means several people with the name Vacla y. Other examples: Ital Italove Cech — either Srb ec§i or Srbove (one -syllable C'echove names) pan — panove syn synove Polak — Pokid and Mad'ar — Glen elenove biskup—biskupove Mad'ari filosof — filosofove There 1is much flt:ctuation in the usage of the plural i and (we. Perhaps one rule of thumb to follow is to use the ove form when speaking and writing formally).

All nouns ending in — tel, denoting office, position, or occupation, are made plural by the simple addition of e.

Reports from our Lodges, or any other Reading Material to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK A half-dozen or so little girls wore somewhat disappointed in last week's issue, because it did not contain the letters they had sent in. It was another crowded issue, as was evidenced hY the abundance of pictures and other features. This was the first time during our tenure that a few letters had to be put back for the next issue. The decision as to which letter goes in and which stays out, is not always easy.

Patience . .

On another score, we're disappointed.

The response to our competition on translating the short story of "Janosik" was nil. I cannot believe that somewhere in our SPJST there isn't ONE teenager, under the a,ge of 18, who couldn't get a dictionary, and with some help, send in a fairly good translation of the short story. I expected the assignment to be a little tough, but not that tough. I will, therefore, leave the proposition open, with no deadline, and see what happens. I had hoped that as time went by, we could even inaugurate a Czech letter-writing' section for teenagers. We can still do it. Isn't there ONE youngster in the State of Texas, in the SPJST, who can write a letter in Czech to the Vestnik?

We do not know juSt how effective our Czech lessons are. We've received very little comment as to their usefulpcss; neither have we received any constructive criticism. I'm not quite satisfied with the lessons myself, yet 'in not how they can be improved.

Instructing on a printed page, by remote control, is not easy.

• 4, More and more of our older members are stepping out of an active role in their lodge activities. This is to be expected and is as it should be. They deserve a much-needed 'rest, and have earned it. But life, and lodge activities must go on. It, therefore, becomes the task of those younger to assume

The passage of time ana experience will mellow them. Wha.l, they lack in experience, they have in courage, optiriliSni, and that speAal quality — enthusiasm. They need all the help they can get, from all sources.

What does your lodge, your Order, and the times expect of our younger generation of leaders?

Don't detour around them; met them headon! Believe in yourself. This you must do before you can expect anyone else to place any faith in you. Mutual trust and dependency will grow into a solid front of success. It has been written in this column before: Don't be afraid to try something new! Don't cling to old

and fruitless ways; step out on your own, create your own horizions, and go to it! Use all your skills, your full Potential, your industriousness. You might discover talents you didn't even know you possessed.

Our esteemed elders are stepping out for a much-deserved rest. The next generation must put its shoulder to the wheel to fulfill the many tasks that lie before our great SPJST Order.

There must not be even the slightest interruption in progress; not even the slightest hesitation. Generation of today, are you up to the task? Are you aware of your responsibilities? Will yeu respond to the call of your fraternal order?

• To those of you who have been following our novel, "The Fortunes of Good Soldier Svejk," we hope you will not be too disappointed with the announcement that we will soon be terminating the story. We do this with some reluctance. The story is very humorens, the kind of humor that sonic people feel is acceptable in Czech when it may not be in some other language.

'The fact is, however, that the story is rather coarse in many places. We have endeavored to delete those, parts we felt might be offensive, and it has been a tedious task, what with trying to retain the original flavor that Hasek intended. During the entire period we have been running the story, we haVe received only one written complaint about "Svejk." In our travels and conversation with hundreds of people, there have been 10 favorable comments to one unfavorable one.

The decisive factor that brought us to this conclusion is the fact that "Svejk" is a novel aimed primarily at the menfolk. That, in itself, is not so bad. However, we should strive to please a greater cross? section of our readership, Bill Mauldin's treatment of World War II experiences would likewise not appeal to the womenfolk.

Nf Also, try as we do, there is always the possibility that sorne passage might get through that may offend the sensibilities, and in "Svejk" the '"cleaningup" proms takes time. To those who will be bitterly disappointed, we hope you will be pleased with the new novel.

To dose t. ko will be pleased, we hope we won't di ;nooint you with the selection of an, ;dory. 'Svejk" will rul hip:e more, perhaps twice.

He also saw two of his sisters for the first time in his life.

Kostal, 56, was left in Pragee in 1914 when his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Josef .Kostal, immigrated to the United States.

Although the elder Kostal intended for young Josef to join them in the United States as soon as possible, the outbreak of World War I interfered 'with Leir plans. Josef stayed with his grandparents.

After the war, Josef was older and never got around to leaving Czechoslovakia_ He grew up, became a mac'Linist and got married. He now has a grown son of his own.

Saturday morning, a family reunion was held in the home of the elder Kostals at 3803 Chapman. Besides tl-,e parents, there were Josef's brothers and sisters Mrs. Joe Voparil of West Palm Beach, Florida, Mrs. Johnnie Kopinitz of 3816 Chapman, Mrs. J. W. Witovec of 1803 Crystal Ct., and Mrs. E. C. Duke of Nacogdcl hes.

A brettcr, Oldrich Kostal of Whitting, Ind., is expected to visit Houston before his broLier returns to Prague.

His plan was rejected because we do not wish to mar our plaCe by having ads all over the walls. We can earn five hundred dollars in three years by some other means.

Brother Edwin Chlapek gave a report on the dry box. A motion was made, seconded and approved to buy a new box.

New members admitted into the lodge were: Juvenile Department, Dorothy Jean Jones. Adult Department: Joe Steve Divis, Bessie Divis and Randel Miller.

Brothers F. E. Heil Sr., and Joe Olejnik were on the sick list as of today, Brother Walter Ja,kubec is also in the hospital. He had an accident and injured his hand. We hope that these brothers have a speedy recovery.

There were some cbanges made in our by-laws. The main changes were that we would have to charge people who wish to hold anniversaries, reunions, and showers in our ball So, if you wish to hold any of the preceding -occasions, contact Bro. F. E. Hejl, Jr., chairman of the entertainment committee.

A motion was made and passed that Wednesday, June 5, would be work

:30 day for anyone who wished to donate some of his time. We had very good response and much was accomplished.

We also had a lot of fun working together in a brotherly fashion. We will 'have another day like that in the near uture. Last night we had a meeting, and we noticed that everything is dusty again. So prior to our opening, we'll' get together and clean up and hang the drapes. sister Wilma Motl -Volunteered to make all of our drapes.

She works for the Cloth House in Temple, making drapes and curtains. Believe me, she is good and we appre 'elate her kindness in making ours. We need more members like her. Of course, we cannot complain because others have volunteered to wash the windows, dig trenches, move buildings, which had to be done, too. All of this is appreciated and welconied. Some work on Sundays if they cannot work on weekdays. After the hall is completed we will have all of the names of the volunteers listed and posted on our bulletin board. We wish to thank all of you sisters who came to help with the windows. Oh yes, Brother Walter Jakubee let us use his trailer free to move the old kitchen and other buildings. Brother L. J. Motl also let us use some kind of wheels to help with the moving. Thanks go to these brothers.

For Sunday, July 7, we have invited Brother Nick Morris, editor of the Vestnik, to be in our meeting to take pictures of our new hall to put into the Vestnik. So all of you try to come so that we could have a nice picture to put into our paper. We will have a lunch, and if you sisters wish to bring something, you may. We will make some coffee or tea, and try out onr new kitchen. Remember the date, Sunday, July 7, at 2 p.m.

Brother Morris, we wish to compliment you on your editorial in the last issue of the Vestnik. We have been wishing for someone to write about this bad habit and you finally did. Your editorials are always read by us and heartily approved. Thank you for this one eSpecially.

In our next meeting, we will have to make plans for our opening, so again I ask you. to be sure to come.

Fraternally, Clara Hejl, Reporter ) 0( LODGE POKROK HOUSTON NO, 88 Dear Vestnik Readers: The Regular monthly lodge meeting 1t% as held Friday night, June 14, with

rN very good attendance. Bro. Ernest Hanka gave us a very encouraging report on the progress of the new lodge building that is to be constructed in the near future. He said by the end of August, the construction should be well under way. We are all looking forward to this, and we will all try to do our part in whatever there is to be done. So, when anyone is asked to give a helping hand in any way, such as at our dances and socials; please do what you can.

Bro. Jarda Cerny gave a very in teresting talk, explaining the propagation of the SPJST, and also gave the history of the beginning of the fraternal organization to the new members who were present and initiated into the Order. We only wish that Brother Cerny had had more time because his talk was very interesting.

Sister Anna Svestka was the lucky recipient of the deor prize; she in turn donated it to the memorial fund. After the meeting everyone was treated to refreshments and snacks consisting of cold cuts, cheese, chips, pickles, and Fritos.

The Czech play performed by the Dramatic Club Sunday, June 16, was great. We wish to congratulate Miss Stephie Kovalcik, who performed for the first time in a Czech play and did such a wonderful job. She was a member of the Czech class. Everyone of the cast were tops, especially Mr Jan Schroif, who played a comedy part and kept us laughing continuously.

We are looking forward to the new building, when the Dramatic Club plans to put on Czech and English plays, and you will be able to enjoy them in air-conditioned comfort.

Sister Rosa Lee Ruland is spending her vacation in Las Vegas and San Francisco, and other points of interest.

Harry and Mickie Rice returned from their vacation that took them through Illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri.

Reporter ) 0( LODGE NO, 35, NOVE KVETY, ELK Dear Members and Friends: The rains came! Doesn't it put all

Wednesday, June 26, 1q63 of us in a good mood, though? Now we can cut grass once again. I'm just wondering if people around the coast have received any rain.

Lm always reading about a W. D. Kamas in the Vestnik from District I. I have a relative named Willie Kamas from Nelsonville. Brother Anton and I went to see him about 5 years ago as we attended a Kaase family reunion at Bliebersville. He's my great-uncle, I do believe. Of course, at the time we were down to sec him we weren't very familiar with all the SPJST affairs, because our lodge here was inactive.

But the best I can remember at the time, he was an organizer then. If anyone reads this and knows for certain, please let me know, because I've often wondered. He's my father's uncle. Rudolf Bernshausen is my Dad, and he was born and raised around Industry and Brenham before coming to Gerald, Texas. I read in this week's issue of the Vestnik that Brother W. D. Kamas was top organizer of the month in District I and Lodge No. 68. Congratulations: Oh, by the way, I should have mentioned this fact in last week's issue, but I had the letter mailed before I remembered. Brother and Sister Calvin Adamek donated cabbage to our Lodge picnic after the kitchen ran out of cabbage at the evening meal. Thanks so much!

Within the past month and a half there have been some wonderful things that have happened to some of our lodge members. One was that Brother and Sister Jerome Lehrman were blessed with a little son. The proud grandparents are Brother and Sister Rudy Vieha. Brother and Sister John Mach have gained a new son-in-law.

Their daughter, Wanda, was the beautiful bride.Well, Ern at a loss for words at the present, More next time. Regards to all, and stay cool.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: The last meeting of Lodge No. 130 was reasonably well attended, since our Youth Club was host to the Youth Club of Ennis Lodge 25, They served them hamburgers and all sorts of goodies out under the large shade trees behind the hall.

Brothers and Sisters, please don't forget the 30th of June, when the youth of District III will have their talent contest, youth activities, and coronation of the district king and queen.

There will be plenty of eats for the dinner, which will start at one. Chicken and other fine foods will be served. The. food will be under the careful supervision of chef Walter Hosek.

Then, on the 4th of July, we will be celebrating that occasion with a big picnic and various entertainment, in-

I was installed as a member of the by-laws committee of the Slavonic Mu-, tual Fire Insurance Association, at a meeting held in East Bernard on the 10th and 11th of June. We took the occasion to take my wife and visit a number of friends and relatives on the way.

We attended the funeral of my sisterin-law, Annie Svadlenak, the wife of the deceased, well-known Joe Svadlena.k from the Taylor area. She passed away suddenly in a Temple hospital.

She was buried in Temple. From her first marriage to C. Balusek, she is survived by six children — three sons and three daughters.

We also paid a visit to the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, in Temple. I pointed out to the supreme officaers the need for modernizing, the present building, which it greatly needs. It has been quite some time since the building committee purchased the building. The supreme lodge needs more space. Our Order is growing, and my opinion is that we should renovate and use two floors of the building instead of the present one. I also suggested that our attorney should be situated in the supreme lodge building, since he likewise needs more space. Thus, the whole group would be close together in one Ideation, and much time would be saved in going back and forth.

I visited the Rest Home in Taylor, which also needs additional space.

There is inadequate space for those who desire to be admitted, in many cases, older, deserving members. My brother-in-law, John Svadlenak, is there, also with Bro. C. Navratil, former longtime direhtor of our Order.

Both are very happy at the Rest Home and are pleased with its management.

Dear Members and Friends: June 1 was a day of great excitement for the lodge of District V. as it was the day for the frowning of the 1963-64 Queen. As the time drew, nearer and neared, the anticipation of the crowd was apparent. Finally, the court Was introduced and the breath-taking moment came — Princess Dana Cameron was announced Queen of District V. She gracefully acepted her crown from Queen Molly Lostak (1962-63).

Then came a surprise for all — District V crowned a king — Lonnie Lostak ac°

cepted his crown and scepter with much surprise while little duchess Jo Ann Heiman and Queen Dana looked on.

We are very proud of our court and of Brother Joe ,SkriVanek who s.ponsored them, congratulations to all of you.

I think Sister Maxine ,Sefeik deserves much praise for her hard work and the burden she so graciously carried. You did a wonderful job, Sister Maxine!

Our hosts for the evening, Lodge 142, also deserves recognition for their decorations and hospitality ,as does everyone who helped with the prOgram.

I think everyone really enjoyed, the program; I know I did.

I want to thank the Supreme Lodge and District V for the lovely gifts I received, plus the beautiful white orchid and red roses. I am very proud of them. I received a lovely SPJST pin and ear ring set and a beautiful neck, lact and ear ring set.

Once again, congratulations Queen Dana, King Lonnie, Duchess Jo Ann, and Sponsor Joe Skrabanek, and thank you, Lodge 142, for a lovely evening!

Wednesday, June 26, 1963 and why I would like to be crowned queen of Lodge No. 66.

I became a member on March 10, 1952, when I was six years old. I became a member of the Youth Club when it was organized and have been active since. In the Second Princess Ball, I came in third; in the Third I was runner-up, and was crowned Duchess for 1961. I have won in the District Point System three times and I came in third in the Merit Book Contest. I will represent our :Lodge in the State Talent Contest, to be held on June 30.

I plan to enter four different ideas at the District Youth Activity Day, and I also plan to spend my spare time selling tickets. The tickets are for a 19" portable TV set, one for 25c, five for $1; the other is the dance ticket and for a transistor radio, which costs one dollar.

(The ticket, not the radio.)

I have to close now and finish my entries. Until June 30. I remain.

Your friend, Zephy r Spence 1 0 a.

Dear Readers, For once the weather did not interfere with our plans. The day of our last meeting, Sunday, June 2, was sunny and bright and Lodge 25, Ennis was able to attend.

The meeting started at 1:15 when President Podhrasky called the meet-. ing to order. The minutes were read and approved after the Pledge of Allegiance was said. We talked about Youth Activity Day, to be held on June 30 at Lodge Jaro 130 in Dallas.

Afterwards, the committees made their reports.

Because of having many guests from Lodge 25, we each introduced ourselves and told something about us. The meeting was then adjourned for our activities. Many went swimming, but for those that did not, there was miniature golf and other games. After returning, a supper was served, We really enjoyed having the Ennis group and hope they had as much fun coming as we had having them. I hope

'25

we can get tggether again real soon.

After the meeting a talent show was held to decide who would go to district and state. I would like to congratulate everyone who entered. All the ,contestants did fine and I know it was hard to pick a winner.

Immediately after the lodge meeting the youth, both junior and senior clubs, held their meetings together. We were asked by our youth leader, Mrs. Engelke, to help „the girl's who are running for queen and duchess. We were all asked to take a book of tickets to sell for the girl we wanted to win.

After the meeting a delicious barbecue supper was served.

I, would like to rewind everyone about the District Youth Activity Day to be held in Dallas on June 30. 1 hope everyone plans to attend.

We rode a lot of rides, which were a lot Of fUn.- I had a lot of fun with my friend Susan Jaska. We rode nearly everything together. For dinner we had fried, chicken and French fries witha Dr. Pepper to drink. For supper we had a hamburger, french fries, and tea.

There was a ride Which we liked a lot.

I forgot the name of it but I will tell you :aboat it. Boats are shaped like logs ';: anci you ride in them through water. Their later you go up a bill which is very high. All of a sudden you go down at about 100 miles an hour and hit water. Water splashes all over .the place. It is a lot of fun. I wish every one of you could go there.

Our Youth Activity Day will be held on June 30 at Dallas. I'm sure everyone wants to go because you can win money and there are a lot of games to be played.

LETTERS Continued SOKOL HOUSTON Dear Members and Friends: The Sokols will have another big barbecue Sunday, June 30, 1663, at our picnic grounds at Houston. Again those delicious chicken, beef and sausage dinners will be served starting at noon, and the popular Karel Matejka Polka Band will entertain you. Karel Matejka is well known in our locality and his band has a large following of friends and music lovers.

As al of you remember, our last "Mother's Day" barbecue was very successful and we had our beloved friend and member, Frank Vavrik, to entertain us. It was so wonderful to see all our old friends -- some I haven't seen for over a year. There is a ,definite trend for all ex-Sokols and present members to participate extensively in our activities. Because of these trends, I will be writing in the Vestnik every week informing you of our activities, and also bringing to you some of the highlights of Sokol history and goals: It is surprising how little is known in Houston about the organization, and I feel that the Vestnik can be a very good media for informing or, citizens about Sokols.

- Just this month, Sokol Houston has repaired its rings with new webbing, and new leather rings. It has purchased a new 110-pound barbell set, and acquired a high balancing beam, and these are only the beginning. We are in the process of buying other equipment to benefit not only the youngsters, but also the elderly members. It is felt that soon we will have the best gymnastic equipment that Sokol Houston has ever had.

It was so good to know that two of bur faithful members, namely Mrs. Hruby and Mrs. Filipek, are doing so well after their illness. Mrs. Hruby attended our last meeting and We were all very happy to see her. Mrs. Filipek, who underwent surgery, is also doing very well and we are hoping to see her soon.

Here's hoping to see all of you June 30th, and don't forget those homemade cakes that we ,give away at our cakewalks. Nazdar!
