OD REDAK(NiH O STOLKU Drees pokraenjeme s themem delikventn, jak mladYch tak i dorostu, a jak statni navladni Carr na problem ntoei.

Pisatel v novinach nedavno napsal, te v lidske spoleenosti, kde vladni skancladi jsou katdodenne uvefejnene v easopisech; kde nerozumna thereeka' z Hollywood zaujima vice pozornosti net Jonas Salk, vynalezce proti-polioveho serumu, nebo Dr. Albert Schweitzer; kde jeden z nejprednejSich kandi'clatti uchazejic 0 americke presidenstvi si vymenil mantelky te neni divu, te dospeli si nevedi rady a nevedi na si stoji. Kdyt jsou dospeli popleteni, j ak je to s tou nazi mladeti?

NavIadni Carr, ale ma dilveru v dorostu, a pevne vefi, te bude v budouci tlechetne a mravne pijipra,ven pro akoly jemu kladeny. Zaeatkem tohoto roku navladni Carr svolal schuzi asi 100 mladYch vudcu z austinskYch high schools (z mett'ankach) za &Mem probirat otazky spojene se stoupajicimi trestnYmi einy. Z tohoto svolani dotlo k daltimu, vettimu shromatcleni asi 700 mladYch pracovnikti a zajeinca z celeho Texasu y e dnech 17. a 18. srpna.

Tento atok na problem zloeinnosti mladYch je novY a jette nevyzkouteny, ale piece je to krok proti neeemu kde

doposud dospeli se jaksi nesetkali s velikYm aspechem.

• • Tito mladi, behem rokuse eventuelne daji do styku s asi 25,000 jinYmi mladYmi, aby prozkoumali pfedinet a a pkimo utoeili mlade zloeince, ku prikladu, na ty ktefi opustili predeasne tkolu. Toto hnuti navladniho pkedpoklada, te mladet rozumi. 'nejlepe svYin nedostatkiim a, te innohokrat mladi dovedou aeinnejti Misobit na osoby rovneho druhu. Je-li tato theorie spravna ne, vine z osobni zkutenosti, ze easto mladet dovede vice s svymi rovnYmi net my dospeli, protote easto snahy nate nesou ssebou ten kaz, te chceme jim polite omeziti to co se jim libi, kdetto natlak jinYch mladych zni jako skutek dobfe minen.Y. • • Toto hnuti nati mladde a navladniho si zaslouti nail podporu, a p. Carr si zaslouti pochvalu za jeho snahy v tomto daletitYm a krutYm boji proti utasne zloeinnosti.

• • Druhe shromatdeni vedoucich mladete se jiz chysta na rak 1964, a se oeekakava, te poeet delegatti dosahne asi 5,000. Tu budou mit dalti pfiletitost toeit na problem delikvence. Pfeje jim kahlY , dobromyslnY elovek mnoho zdaru a Uspechu.

Nate kluby mladete SPJST take jrZ roky utodi na problem delikvenee, s jejimi einnostmi pro mladet a zaujimani jejich volneho C'asu. Zazraky ale nemohou provadet, kdyt doma nedostanon takladni pojem spravedliveho a nespravedliveho chovani. Domov, tkoly, cirkev, a spoleeenske podniky ruzne, musi spolupracovat, aby se vyvinul ten dobrY "celek" — to znamend byti poslutni zakond a miti actou k zakonu a co vlastne vytaduji prave americke obealnske zodpovednosti, Casto se stava, ze rodiee prenechaji chovani jejich deti tkolam a cirkvi dpine, a bez vahani kladou vtechny chyby a nedostatky syYth ditek na, tkoly a na jiz prepracovane ueitele. Malo vtechna snaha tkolni a dutevni pomtite, kdyt' doma ma dite pekelne ovzduti.

•

•

Nate sbory mladete jsou schopne poskytnout easteene vYchovu natich deti, musime jich ale do techto skupin zaelenit abychom meli z toho nejakY utitek. Dite, ktere je einne v natich klubech se nebude marne toulat po ulicich a se lehce nepricia k tpatne skupine, ktera ma za noelem nieit majetek a delat vteobecnou ostudu jinYm. Take ate se neoctne pfed soudem pro delikventy aneb pfipadne v poleptovnech v bud' Gatesville neb Gainesville. Slytime 'east° od rodiet zateenYch mladiku

Zireastneni prijali resoluci, podle niz mel byti prvni den kvetna ureen za den, kdy delnici meli oslavovati sva„ viterstvi a formulovati sve rdal gi poladayky. 0 tri leta pozdeji prijal evropskY kongres Druhe socialisticke internacionaly vrh americkych delegatil, aby 1. kveten byl oznaken dnem mezinarodniho vyrznamu, zdtrazraujicim solidaritu pracujiciho lidu po celem svete.

Hamusek 1165 Phillips Street )0( Moulton, Texas Mill etenaki Vestniku: Aby Oeska, Cast Vestniku netrpefa nedostatkern, toa po delSi prestavce zas piSi, abyste yeah, ae nas rad Velehrad jeate aije, ae jeSte nezamknul. Ba prave posledni dobou se vzpruZil a nabral na sile, neb jsme elena, ktery vzal pojiSteni na dvacet pet tisic.

Lide zlati, to je co fie, ae jo? A bin elenena je inlady Roy Bueek ze Schulenburgu, syna naaeho predsedy radu Velehrad Roy Bu es ka starSiho. Potom ae nepokraeujem, ae vlastne jcleme dolu a najednou takovY skok.

Had vidiva,m ve Vestniku oznamerd divadla, jak Houstonai elenove se jeate dr2i tuai a myslim, Ze je to jedinYr rad, nag Jednoty, co jeate divadlo poradaji. KdyZ si vzpomenu na za gle easy kdy2 jsme na Velehrade poradali divadlo, co to bylo aivota, ochoty a vidite ad toho slova povstalo shove ochotnik, kterY ochotne a neaistne pracoval pro dobrou vec. A zde na venkove, v dobe tech blatoyYch cest, ti ochotnici skuteene prinaSeli velkou obet', cos v mestech jako je Houston neb Dallas tarn ochotnici to maji snadnejSi, maji tam telefony, pe yne testy, a ne jako my to bogovisko, ale jelo sc pl'ece, Ted' ji2 ty venkovske testy jsou take opraveny, ale -Led' na torn Velehrade je mrt ye ticho. Kdo vzpomene na ten Velehrad, ktery na mape by se Marne hledal? Hrali jsme velke team kusy, jako Pasekari, Pralske avadlenky a jine. Byla by toho hezka, rada a ochotnikia pribYvalo ae nekteri v Ceskem jazyku trochu pokulha,vali.

Aby se tome o'dpomohlo obednaly se eeske ueebnice a pisatel techto radkit venoval kaZdou necloli odpoledne pine tri naesice, a tak se ochotnici v eeS"tine obrousili a Slo to jako kdyZ namaze.

Skoda, akoda tech zlatYch 'easir jeate o jeclne veel se chci zminit. Pied ,neclavnYm easem jsem n6kde eetl, jak si stoji ted' vyueovani eeskeho jazyka na statni universite v Austinu, snad jsem to Ceti ve Vestniku. Take to s ton eatinou na to universite v Austinu jde dolu, ale proe? Zatim, co eegtina pada jinde jde do predu a piece v Texasu je ncjvic eesko-mora yskeho lidu.

Az s tou Ce gtinou v Austinu ze glo tak dole tu nekteki se nad tim pozastavuji, te by to bylo hanbou ,kdybysme eeskou stolid ztratili, ale to poukazovani a protestovani moc nepointite, kdyt nebude studentti, kteki by se Ceg tine venovali. A zrovna ti od kterYch by se eekalo v te veci nejakY skutek, tam toho je nejmene. Nejlepe se to pozna v nejakem shromatdeni4 tu mnohy jako by se bal fista otevrit, aby mu nejake to Ceske slovo neuteklo.

Jestli nekdo umi eesky tim jako americke vlastenectvi nic neutrpi. Mnozi jsou jeg te natuchli tim velikagstvim kdy Anglie myslela, anglicky je jedinY potkebnY jazyk, ale nynej gi svetove pornery ukazuji, ze jsou nutne i jine jazyky.

11 SHOWDOWN

By Herman Toepperwein — SALOON BRAWL In the 1870's Sergeant Al King was known as a tough gunslinger. He said so himself, and to sustain his dubious reputation, he occasionally doffed his uniform for tile togs of a cowhand, got on a drunk, shot u p a town and egged some novice into a fatal showdown.

Eventually Bat Masterson, no novice, fixed the Sergeant's clock in an ordinary saloon brawl.

One night in Sweetwater, Texas, Bat was dancing with a girl fancied

by King as his exclusive property. The notorious Sergeant barrelled into the ball followed by some of his hangerson. Incensed at what he saw, he took a shot at the cavorting couple, felling Bat with a bullet in the hip. (There are contradictory reports concerning 'the girl's fate: some say she was slain outright — others. that she wasn't touched). In any event, as Bat went

down his gun came up and he exterminated the soldier-killer with a shot 'right through the !heart.

The pandemonium that followed can well be imagined. King's friends moved in for the kill. tut now enters the star of the show; for none other than intrepid Ben Thompson, Texas gunfighter, gambler, and late Chief of Police of Austin, Texas — before he, too, was assassinated sprang on a table, pistol in hand and covered hi,s friend Masterson. Grimly he invited King's men to fight. (Ben was in his element). But the avengers' spirit evaporated; they only wanted to pick up ole King's remains and get out, they said hastily.

Ben was disappointed. What looked like a promising battle turned out to be one of the few bloodless showdowns of his notorious career. But Bat Masterson was satisfied with the finale.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK (This week we are continuing our treatment of the problem of delinquency, both juvenile and adult, and how our State Attorney General is trying to cope with the mounting prdblem).

One writer recently pointed out that in a society where scandals rock a whole government, a leading candidate for the US' presidency changes wives, and a voluptuous Hollywood actress attracts more public attention than Jonas Salk or Albert Schweitzer — with such a strange arrangement of values, adults across the country are apt to be a might confused. If the adults are, what about our youth?

•

Attorney General Waggoner Carr has great confidence in our youth -a great potential for tomorrow. He feels that there is still enough moral fibre in our American youth to insure a strong and stable American future.

Grounded in these beliefs, he recently set up• a bold program for enlisting the energies of our young people in an all-out attack on the adult problems of tomorrow. Earlier in the year, Mr. Carr met with about 100 Austin high school leaders to talk about what youth could do to stem the tide of ever-increasing juvenile crime. From that first conference„ came another and bigger program, which was just recently completed in Austin, on the 17th and 18th of August. Approximately 700 teenagers came from all parts of Texas. This approach is new. Eventually, these young people will try to reach some 25,000 teenagers and bring them into some phase of the program's activities.

This •movement assumes that the youngsters can develop ideas and procedures that will be more effective with other youth than some of those the adults have used in the past.

MEMORY One of the most precious of human faculties is memory. Youth thinks of it only as an aid to learning and advancement. But as the years roll on, it becomes a treasure storehouse. The highlights of all the years are there — vivid pictures of beauties appreciated, heart - warming reminiscences of friends we've known, tender thoughts of family mingled with gratitude for their understanding through the years, the satisfaction of recalling work well done, a feeling that we have meant something to those who meant so much to us — highlights stored in memory's treasure house, to be recalled at will to encourage and sustain us Whenever we need them.

All of this is intended to put a curb on the mushrooming crime rate committed by young people. The Attorney General deserves high praise for such a noble understanding, and certainly every civic-minded citizen must applaud his efforts. It is good that such a high state official has put his moral ,force behind such, a program. It deserves the' support of every thinking citizen.

The second such conference is already being planned for 1964, and the number of delegates is expected to be twice what it was this year, eventually numbering 5,000 youths. The teenagers of Texas thus have an excellent chance in helping prevent crime where others have failed. They deserve the support of their elders. Any public school teacher can tell you how mush impact the opinions and actions of students have upon other students. Pressure from their peers sometimes gets more results than efforts by teachers. Thus, if this "pressure" is a good and noble one, this, program cannot help but meet with a good deal of success.

Our SPJST youth clubs are, in their way, doing their part in fostering good citizenship, and wholesome recreation for the youngsters in their spare time.

Of course, they can't do everything, and they can't perform miracles. The basic appreciation of right and wrong still has to come from the home. Yes, the schools and churches do their share, but the child spends most of his time at home, and that is where good citizenship and respect for the rules of law begin and flower. All too often, parents expect the schools to literally rear their children, with the parents shirking their responsibilities, and readily place the blame on the child's failure on the school and the teacher.

Much good can be accomplished by a teacher and the school environment in a 7 or 8 hour day, only to have that good erased by a hellish existence at home.

• • This business of raising youngsters is no easy task, and Heaven only knows that it takes• the combined efforts of the home, the parents, the school, and the churches to "turn out a good product." Again, our SPJST youth clubs fit into the picture very nicely here.

Their activities go hand-in-hand wito what the other groups are trying to do, and such clubs offer invaluable ex, periences of association that will serve them well for many years to come. A kid, participating in an active youth club in one of our lodges, is not going to be roaming the streets and alleys, playing "chicken" on the drag strip, or endangering lives and property. Such a child is not apt to wind up in the juvenile detention home and before the juvenile judge. The saddest scene is enacted when the parents of a "fine" teenage boy and girl shows up before the judge with the oft-heard statement, "Why, we've always given him everything he wanted; he has such a wonderful home. How could he do such a thing?" Yes, everything but

VASTNIE perhaps love and affection and association with a wholesome group of young people.

• This point that I keep bringing out about wholesome youthful experiences and associations is extremely important, because by the time the child grows into young man- or womanhood, 'hwy have been armed and inculcated with. what's right and what's wrong to a sufficient degree that they can repel criminal and unlawful tendencies. But they must have been prepared for the world's rudeness in their young years.

After they are young adults, they can take care of . themselves. Hence, we come right back again to these childhood days and how they were spent. If your boy or girl is not enrolled in an SPJST youth club, you're both missing out on a lot of fun and enjoyment.

• • Youi will notice in this issue pictures of youth activities by the Cottonwood Lodge and by some happy young folks at Camp Tailmaya. What fun they had!

I was there and I had a lot of fun.

'But don't take my word for it; ask some of the kids who were there. The ∎Cottonwood venture had very good support; the Camp Tahuaya project could have been much better attended and supported by the adults. The excitement and grins, on the faces of the youngsters was reward enough for anyone. If you and your's weren't there, you really missed a wonderful experience. Those kids are a million miles away from being even potential delinquents. The SPJST youth clubs are a wonderful outlet for your children's youthful energies. You should insist on them belonging to one. If there isn't one, organize one — for your children's sake. You'll be doing your share in keeping the rate of juvenile crime down, and perform a service to your country. It's that important — and that simple.

This seminar, conducted for the benefit of organizers and directors, was under 'the auspices of the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, and is the result of months of planning, particularly by Vice President Joe B. Hejny. Bro. Hejny opened the proceedings by having everyone present identify themselves. He then introduced, President Edward iViarek, who set the mood for the occasion, and then introduced Mr. R. H.

Recent medical advances have reduced the mortality rates from infectious diseases to such a low level that persons between ages one and 35 nrest now be more concerned about fatal mishaps than about disease. At these ages, the leading cause of death is accidents. d. tip R: Vice ir • esident Joe H. Abernathy, and Supreme Lodge A mortality table is a statistical tabPresident Edward L. Marek. ulation that shows the average death,

1r, rate at - each age, expressed as so many deaths per thousand. For example, of 1,000 men who are now exactly 40 years old, on the average about 3 l/9 will die before their next birthday. (Statistically-minded actuaries have no corn-, punction about dealing with 'halves and other fractional slices of persons).

A statutory mortality table is one which the 50 states specify in their insurance laws that companies must use to determine the amount of reserves to be held within respect to existing policies in order to remain solvent.

It also specifies the minimum equity, in the form of cash or continued insurance for the policy owner, that a policy must guarantee at the end of each year that it is in force.

0' ( AMERICAN FAMILIES OWN $700 BILLION OF LIFE INSURANCE Life insurance protection owned by American families has reached the $700 million mark, an increase of nearly $25 billion so far this year, the Institute of Life Insurance reports.

Life insurance ownership has more than doubled in the past eight years.

American families have been adding more than $40 billion a year to their life insurance protection every year except one since 1956 (when the total passed $400 billion).

The life insurance in force among all families in the United States at the end of 1962 had increased to $11,400 per family, While this average was more than twice that of a decade 'earlier, it still was equivalent to only about 21 months of average disposable income per family.

The Institute reports that the amount of new life insurance purchased by American families during the first half of 1963 set a record of $41.6 billion, a 6.8 per cent increase over the, same period last year. This indicates purchases for the full year of 1963 will surpass $80 billion for the first time. $39 Billion Last Year Purchases during the first half of 1962 totalled nearly $39.0 billion and for the full year were a record $79.4 billion.

More life insurance is usually purchased by families during the latter months of the year, especially December, than in earlier seasons. Increases in life insurance ownership always run substantially less than purchases of new insurance, due to policyholder deaths, matured endowments, policy

VPSTNIK

expirations, lapses, surrenders and 1Ther factors.

Purchases during the first half of 1963 include $30.2 billion of ordinary life insurance, an 8.8 per cent increase over 1962; $7.8 billion of group life insurance, a 2.5 per cent increase; and $3.5 billion of industrial life insurance, a 0.2 per cent increase.

Benefit payments to policyholders and their families during the first half of the year were estimated at nearly $5 billion, T;i:ils was an increase Of more than $350 million over the first half of 1962. The 1963 figure includes nearly $2.8 billion in "living benefits" to policyholders themselves and nearly $2.2 billion paid to beneficiaries of policyholders who died.

Assets of American life insurance companies were estimated at $136.8 billion as of mid-year. This was an ,increase of $3.5 billion during the first six months of 1963.

Overall life insurance funds invested in the American economy during the first half of the year totalled $15.0 billion, including $11.5 billion in reinvested funds.

,September 2nd is LABOR DAY. The idea of setting apart the first Monday in September in honor of American working men and women was first conceived in 1882 by Peter J.

Althougfa) it is best to know what general field of study you will want to !pursue, the first two years of many college degree programs are similar, and you can definitely decide what you will major in after you have had an opportunity to learn more about the various fields of endeavor. The interest and aptitude tests and counselling you receive in most colleges will help you greatly-• in making your final decision.

In addition to giving you time to deride, going to college will be a continuation of your education which is very important for your future. So many persons have obtained college degrees in recent years that the bachelor's degree from a college is now about equal in significance ! to that, which a high, school diploma had twenty or thirty years aga. To compete successfully with the "next person" in most :professions and in many occupations in the futurea-you will need to (have a college degree., If you wish to attend college but believe that the financial situation of your ! family will not permit it, please Investigate tiris matter more 'Wily.

There are now many governmental and private programs for helping capable but financially needy college students, In addition to the part-time work, scholarships, and loan funds which are available to y college student, there are some special scholarships and loan funds available to you if you are of ezeol;! descent. Although scholarships are the best when obtained, loans are next best because they are made at a low rate of interest and repayment usually does not (have to start until after you have been graduated and have started earning.

If you, are a male high school graduate and are concerned about the unstable world situation and the probability of your being drafted or called into active military service, do not let ti:at interfere with your long-range plans for tire future. Almost every generation has been faced with a Shilllar problem, and it usually leas not materialized as the tremendous obstacle which it may have seemed to be.

Merely waiting for possible induction will accomplish little, whereas attending college may help you a great deal in several ways.

Because our country has a great need

VASTNfR for college graduates, the Selective Service Boards are liberal in granting deferments to draft-age college students. Also at many colleges you may join one of the many ROTC programs which may permit you to complete your college training and earn an officer's commission before you are called to active duty. Even if you should be inducted while in college, having something started and accomplished and ha y ing something to look forward to upon your discharge will make your time in service seem shorter and more enjoyable. The training- you re-. 'l ye in college' before' induction Will of course better qualify you for the more desirable positions in the military services.

To help you in ehoosin,g a college or university and course of stud y visit or write to "The Registrar" of the various schools in which you may be interested for free information bulletins for freshmen; study these bulletins; and Veen consult with your parents and lieigh sell-2001 teachers before deciding which school to attend.

In general, fully state supported senior colleges and public (those 'which receive state assistance funds) junior uelleges have the lowest tuition fees.

B:ecause Faere are a great many junler colleges, ydu may have one located relEitivelv near to your one, permitting you to commute and avoid the coriderable room and board expenses of living away from th !ome. Junior colleges generally have smaller classes with more 'individual assistance and offer greater opportunities for participation in student activities and leadership development. Senior colleges Offer a greater variety of 'courses and certain activity programs which are not available at smaller schools.

Because most Schools start their fall semester, ! in early September, you should select your school now and hasten to take all the necessary action (as outlined in the information bulletin) required for admission and re gistration in y our chosen school. To expedite matters you may need to visit yor,• chosen scThieol to talk to • the registrar and to make housing, part-time work, and or.:er arrangements.

Pay special heed to and comply with lkle dates for the testing programs, pre-registration conferences, and orientation programs for freshmen students. Although most colleges will permit a student to register late for a limited time after classes have started,

17 it is highly recommended that the specified pre-registratidn and registration 'routines be followed if at, all possible.

If 'you are of Czech descent and seheat a school which teaches courses in the Czech language and/or has a Czech Club, T strongly urge you to study some Czech either as a major course of study, to fulfill foreign language requirements in other courses of study, or to obtain a better working knowledge of the language for your own benefit. If your college does not offer courses in the Czechlangeage, inquire about the possibility of it being taught If there. were sufficient interest in and the demand for it. Then discuss the matter with fellow students who might be interested in taking a Czech, course. There are several reasons for and benefits from your study of Czech.

1. The beginningicourse in Czech will be relatively easy for you if • you are even only slightly familiar with the language. Word pronounciations are the hardest "hurdle" for anyone starting to learn Czech; but most persons of Czech descent seem to have a nateral ability to "twist their tongues" as required for the proper pronounciations. Courses in Czech will count as foreign languages or elective credit toward most degrees at most schools.

Why not utili e and add to your existing knowledge and natural ability in Czech instead of starting on some other foreign language with which you are totally unfamiliar and W7ich may prove of very little, if any use to you?

2. A better knowledge of the Czech language will be of help to you in learning Other foreign languages which your may decide to study later.. The more foreign languages you know, the easier it is to, learn additional ones.

Knowledge of one or ! more foreign languages will better qualify you for many additional job opportunities — no matter what may be your major course ofstudy. The Czech language is often referred to as the key to learning the Russian language, which is at present very important in various governmental, scientific, industrial, commercial, educational, and literary activities. There is an ever-increasing need in the U. S. diplomatic and military services for persons who can deal with the Russians in their own language.

3. Taking a course in Czech may better qualify you for certain scholar-

VII El TN/IC

ships and/or steident loans ' provided by _Czech fraternal or other orga,nizatons. Although registration for Czech courses may not necessarily be a prerequisite for obtaining these scholarships and loans, such action will certainly be in your favor.

4. A 'better knowledge of the Czech language may be of considerable practical value to you after graduation if you engage in any professional or business enterprise which competes for the patronage of the many persons who do and will continue to, prefer use of the Czech language. Also, there are many fraternal, religious, and mutual organizations in Texas which will continue to require officers who are proficient in both the Czech. and English languages. Even if you are unable to take a regular college credit course in the Czech language, try to enroll in 'a terminal-type "conversational Czech" course which will be helpful for the reasons mentioned in this para graph.

5. A better knowledge of the Czech language and/or membership in a Czech club will better prepare you for more successful living by a more complete acceptance and assimilation into the American society and way of life.

Most likely your name (even if you change dt) will always be known or recognized by some as being of Czech origin: This will be to your credit be,eause practically everyone• is aware of and respects the patriotic and cultural contributions which the Czechs have made to help make this country, great. Most people realize that this country is areat because we are a composite group which includes the strands of many people and many cultures, and that one can be (and indeed is more likely to be) a true, loyal, and more appreciative American if he does not forsake the language and culture of his ancestors. If you can answer the occasional friendly questions about the language and culture of your ancestors, others will respect rather than criticize you for lit. As you grow older, you, yourself, will feel an ever-increasing psychological and consequently practical need for knowledge about your ancestral ties and cultural heritage and background. Avail yourself of any Present opportunities to again this knowledge for your own future benefit.

I hope you will continue your education at a college or university of your own choice. If the Czech Ex-Students Association of Texas can assist you in any way, please call on us. If you are

interested in learning more about the Sdholarsbips, Czech language courses, and the Czech Clubs, write to the Chairman of the Department of Slavonic Languages at the school of your choice.

Seems like vacation time just flies by so fast for us grownups as well as the school-age youngsters. They are not very anxious for school to start.

We spent our vacation time in Texas enjoying the beautiful scenery in Central Texas and the Gulf Coast. We attended the annual Praha celebration which they observe every year on Aug. 15, Assumption Day. There we met numerous friends from all over Texas, and many other states. It was surprising to learn tow many people read this good Vestnik and how much they enjoy reading about all the lodges and their activities. We met Mr. and ,Mrs. Louis Spanhiel of El Centro, Calif., who used to live in the St. John's area many years ago. They said they always look forward to 'receiving their Vestnik and reading all the Texas news. The popular Henry Brosch Orchestra provided music for the day and also the dance at night at Praha.

The popular El Campo disc-jockey, Chuck Schwartzkopf, taped the entire afternoon program, and carried it on his next morning's show over KTJLP. Also El Campo's Czech announcer, Mrs. sophie Hradchky, arranged her evening program from there.

The new Lodge 88 premises are beginning to look real good; however, much more help is needed to clear the grounds and beautify it. Any Lodge 58 member wishing to donate some time on Saturday is welcome to come out with a bunch of tools. There is usually some officer of the lodge there that Will assist you. The repeat performance of the Czech, play "Ze starycei IVIlynu" Saturday night, August 17, was a success. Many people attended both performances and said they really enjoyed

it.

Sister Annie Vala, our kitchen manager, has asked me to thank all the members who made donations •for-the

chicken barbecue supper August 17., Tee donors were: Ruby Cernosek — sugar and coffee; crown. cake; Mary Marie Elzner Fusig — apple pie; Evelyn Vornsand 1 gal. green beans and 1 gal. pickles; Louise Kadlecek — coffee; Naomi Kostom — angel food cake; Annie Vrla kolaches; Mickie Rice — Cake; Mrs. strudel.

We all had a wonderful time at the West swimming pool Thursday, August 15. The boys and girls learned a lot about swimming. We are all proud of them. We are proud of our Youth Leader, Sister Ruth Krizan. She gave up her duties at home for two weeks to go swimming with the girls and boys everyday. She stayed in the water everyday. The children were pretty tired at times. I know she was, too. Our hats off to you Ruth! May God bless you.

Our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Jahn Parma, who are the proud parents of a baby boy born August 2. They named him Gary Mark. He has a sister Georgia and brother Michael. Sister Violet Parma is on our Kitchen Committee. We missed ber very much Wh-ile she was out. Brother John Parma is on the bar committee. He is always so helpful.

I am a little late but I would like to thank all the sweet sisters who worked so hard in the kitchen at our picnic. There were so many I couldn't name them all. Some of the kids from the Youth-Club helped too. Thanks also to those who donated either food, to the grab bag and fish pond. I would like to thank the girls who worked at tide Grab Bag stand for the Kitchen Committee. They were: Lillie Marie Hromadka, Rose Marie Monthei Georgia Parma, Diane Mynar, Caroline Mynar, Mary Ann Mynar, Jeanette Krizan, and Dorothy Pavlicek. We had many more donations to our kitchen.

VASTNIK SOKOL HOUSTON Dear Members and Friends: Last week we had another wonderful barbecue festival. A-free gymnastic program was presented by the children's class and it was one of the most attended programs we have had this year. We had many out-of-town guests from Shiner, Rosenberg, Wallis, Ennis, Wied and other surrounding towns.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that the 'Sok°ls would participate in an exhibition at a Slavonic Day at the Knights of Columbus Hall on September 8. I would like to retract that an nouncement since it was learned last week that the program already planned was very lengthy and only four minutes could be alloted to the Sokols.

It was the opinion of the Board of.

Instructors that four minutes would not be sufficient time to prepare any program which would do justice to our organization and also such short time would not justify the moving of heavy gymnastic equininent, We regret that cur plans to partici p ate had to he amended, but we invite all of .Sou to attend our "Sokol Day" celebration on the 15th of September in which all of our adult gymnasts will perform. This is one of our largest affairs of the year, and this one promises to be as successful as any previous one.

The FREE gymnastic program will be held at our fair grounds in the afternoon. Delicious pork, beef and chicken barbecue be served and music will be furni.:; • c ,,t to entertain you. The price of meals are still only one dollar per adult plate with the best barbecue served in Houston. So, circle this date on your calendar for an enioyable day at the iSokols.

Last, FridEtti night, we were honored with the presence, of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Pavey of Oozdahoma. The Paveys were very active in the Houston Sokol orvelnization prior to tTeir move to Ole1 :dloma, and we appreciate having C.-7cm visit and chat with us. Also at our barbecue, we were honored with the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Vytopil of Ennis, Texas, another member who Is the backbone of our organization.

We are always happy to see these people who have devoted such a large part of their life to our -organization becaLse without them, the Sokol would not be as strong an active as it is today.
