OD REDAKeNill0 STOLKU Jeden z nejptednejSich ukolu o kterem se obeas nekd,o zmini jest zalole ni Ceske knihovny zde v Texasu. Usku teeneni tohoto irkolu jsme si vzali na sebe a nyni stojime tesne pied prvnim krokem zahajeni tohoto podniku. Podati-li se nam tato snalia, knihovny C'eska bud umistena zde ve West.

Pti schitzi vedoucich CeskYch pracovnikii v Granger zrninil jsem se ponejpry vetejne o tomto riapadu, adkoliv mySlenky jsem mei nekolik roku o zaloleni eeske knihovny.

PtekaZek jest hodne bude jich jeSte hodne. Nejnalehaveja problem bylo kde umistit takovou knihovnu, toziskat budovu pro tento tiz Pronajmouti pekne budovy bylo by samortejme vyloueena yea, ponevad2 finaeni prostredky k tomu nejsou a nevime zdali budou nejake v budouenosti. Zaeiti takovY projekt bez penez je teZko. Kdo vezme na sebe to praci sorga,nizovat a shromaZdit knihy zaslany z celeho statu Texas? Kdo knihy bude zazna,movat? Kdo by s praci pokraeoval? Komu by knihy pattili? Co se s nimi eventuelne stane? Co kdyz ptijde k rogitdvani prostoru a Imihovny? Kdo bude knihovnikem neb kustodem teto knihovny? To je jen nekolik pbekaZek, ktere istaly a stoji jate v ,ceste. Ze jam ale j iste ptekaZly neznamena, 'Ze se nedaji pfekonat. PH

ItDYZ HVEZDY PADAJi Letela hvezdieka s blankytu — lalkoby v trni, a ja jsem poznal ji po svitu byla to slza, bog.

Zapadla neznama od lidi v svete ji z nejinaee: elovek tak bidnY a nevidi, Ze Rah sam •nad nim place.

— Josef Kubelka, kaZde takove snaze jsou ureite pfeka2ky a nesnahy. Tak dal. jedina ptieina prof beru na sebe tuto praci jest to, 'te pevne verim,ze my te g i zde v Texasu a v Jihozapavtlbec, mame mit knihovnu kde bu41Ou soustedene Ceske knihy, spisy, atd., kde nai student, zajemci, mladgi i starAi, miZou badat v knihach a konat svoje patrani po vedeni 'Ceskeho naroda.

Vec, ktera mne dovedla k zahajeni pro jetku, byla, ale veclornost, Ze v neseetnych eeskYch domovech jsou tisicere knihy, ktere lezi zapra gene ye sklepach neb na policich NEPOUZITkull! Mnohe rodiny si vazi knih syYch ptedkll a nechci se s nimi rozloueit. To je pochopitelna vec. KdyI o torn, ale ptimo uvalujeme, musime si uvedomit, knihy jako uschovane penize nemaji

ceny kdy`t nekdo je nepouZiva. V nekterYch ptipadech mladSi generace nemaji o ne zajem, anebo kdyz ne'ovladaji obstojne eeskY jazyk, nemohou je upottebit. V jinYch ptipadech jsou vzacne knihy pouZivane jako malovaci knihy pro deti, pohrda se s nimi, trhaji se, a ma malokdo z nich nejaky poA.tek. Vzacne a upottebitelna latky jako knihy maji bYti pouZivane co nejvic.

KaZda kniha ma svoji vlastni hodnotu a je, jak se kika, "dvete k svetu."

Proto, mili krajane Zadarn kaZdeho Ctouciho tohoto Casopisu, aby mi zaslali vSechny 'Ceske knihy, brolurky„ vazane easopisy (nikoli jednotlive Cisla), ktere by si pral darovati CESKE KNIHOVNI V TEXASU. Radii by, aby kaZdy takovy ptispevek byl oznakeny jmenem darce a datum, aby bylo nanavZdy videt kdo ptispel do teto knihovny. Zaslani techto latek do West bude vyZadovat nejakou finaneni vsrlohu, a tak proto laskave Zadame, aby si kaidy zaplatil svoji zasilku kdeZto "pokladna" je prazdna.

Zaeatek uz mame. Pan Josef Holasck bude darovat obsahlou sbirku nauenYch slovnikti od r. 1894, stare, ale velice vzacne a pouZitelne; krajan Ben VanZura zde ye West daroval nekolik historickych zapisfr, jako i vazane easopisy od r. 1894. Tyto veer' se nedaji koupit za Z'adnou cenu, protoZ..e nejsou

MYslim , Z"e je takovYch pripadd hodne mezi nakm lidem. Vzacne knihy ptijdou k znieeni nebude-li pro' ne pfiprayen "domov".

• PomffZete-li v teto snaze, milZ"em zde v Texasu miti peknou eeskou knihovnu. Rozhodl jsern se pustit do Who sam protok jednanj s vYbory a protahle jezdeni a pod, by vzalo draheho easu. Knihovna by nebyla, mojim osobnim majetkem. Moji potomci by ji nezdedili. Piiispe yky jsou dobrovolne.

Knihovna bude majetkem eeskeho narodu v Texasu, a pripadne v Jihozapadra. Ja bych byl • proste zahajite lem knihovny a doeasnYm. dozorcem, Budouci generace neb pfedkove mohou si pozdeji zatidit spravni neb jine vedeni knihovny. Chci ale aby se s veci zaealo.

ANTONIN DVORAK IOWSKE LETO ANTONINA DVORAKA Napsal Emil SIP Je to LuZnice, jak se tile vine krajem, nebo Otava y e sve nejkouzelnejli easti?

ZapomeneS-li na zemepis, zcela pro-. padnel klamu. TaZ trnava voda pod ko.runami vrb, tYZ slab pach rybiny, puSky orce a vrboveho listi. Stejne mekce obteka krive korani, obydli yakil. A klidna hladina podobne zrcadli strakatinu svetelnych ok a stint, kdyZ stunce prochazi reletem listovi. Pahl odumi'ele oise to stejne tajemne till z vody, jako by eekal na eeskeho vodnika v zelenem fraeku.

A reka tile odplYva, a s ni soubMne i eas, i oblaka na iowskem nebi.

Neni to tedy ani LuZnice, ani Otava.

Ma anglicke jmeno Turkey. Prosta., venkovska, rieka, z nil piji na past yinach kravky a kone, kluci v ni lovi rukama raky a misty nad ni duma soustredenY ryloar. A piece se Turkey proslavila. Sehrala svou tlohu dokonce v svetove hudbe. Jeji melodicky tok je pro smrtelnika jen uklidnujicim brumlanim. Pro yelkeho skladatele byl vlak daleko vie: jedineenou, pokahle jinoti symfonii tent a melodii, z nichz nejedna utkvela v zapisniku a z neho pak preSla do dila, stejne tak jako ranni hvizd drozda, rytmus indianskeho bubnu ci zaskripani vesnicke pumpy. Nad touto riekou pry se zrodil V hlave Mistra i motiv Humoresky.

6 pin" Dvorak za onech pra&Ininovych dni roku 1893, kdy s rodinou travil dovolenou v blizkem Spillvillu. Tehdy se obci tikalo "Little Bohemia", "Male 6echy", protoie v ulicich bylo slySet anglietinu jen. zkidka. Dnes jde az k kece vzrostlY park. Z jara tu voni konvalinky, nasazene v kruhu kolem kamene s Dvotakovou deskou. Podstavea je osmihran; do jeho sten vytesali na,zvy slavnYch DvotakovYch del: Novosvetska symfonie, Humoreska, Slovanske Lance.

Do Spillvillu vede "Dvotakova, silnice" z okresniho mesteeka Calmaru. meri a"edesat mil a pojmenovala ji na poeest Mistra Iowska statni komise v roce 1929. Po ni vstoupil Dvokak do Spillville, kdy pro neho pkijeli Kovakikovi s koearem do Calmaru. Byl rad, je tady. Cesta pies Chicago byla za parneho 'eta. iimorna, take si Dvokak pravem posteioval Kovatikovi, ze cestou bylo "moc stanic a mai° piva".

Jak se Dvotak dostal do Spillvillu?

Zptisobil to mueivy steak po domove, kterY nan dolehl za pui roku pate, co v race 1892 pkijel do New Yorku, aby to po tki roky ridil Narodni konzervatot, dirigoval i komponoval. Pkatele men soucit s Mistrem, jemu'i ani zelenk Long Island, nato is newyorskY tstkedni park, p eknSr , ale v Fete sk.omirajici, nemohl nahradit vonave lesy Vysoke u Pkibrame ci praiske parky. Tenkrat Josef Kovatik, syn spillvillskeho ho a muzikanta, na napad pozvat Dvoraka do sve rodne obce. Koy ank studoval pra2skou konzervator, kde poznal Mistra, kterk jej uell. Tak se Dvorakovi octli ye Spillville a v obci pribylo hned deset ()Want: oba maniele, lest deti, Dvokakova sestra a sluiebna.

Byl to gt'astny ria.pad dostat sem Dvotaka. Nekteki tvrdi, ae nebYt Spillvillu, nebyla by vznikla Humoreska a jine skladby. Dvorak si ten kraj ihned oblibil. 2ertem rikal, de ho odtud nikdo nedostane. Nedivig se, kdy2 malebne ndoli mime zvineneho kraje, s tiCkou, hajky a lesem, s kravkami na lukach a s romantickYini skalkami u silnice.

Na "Hlavni ulici" se zastavi rok co rok tisice turistfi. Pritahne je jednopatrovY, neomitnutY eihlovY dam a napisem: "Antonin Dvotak, velkY skladatel, zil zde v 'Re roku 1893". V dome je dnes dvoji muzeum. Jednak Dvokakovo, jednak bratki BilYch. Tihie dva farmatati synkove byli velci kumatYti. Jak meli volnou chvilku, vyrezavali ze dteva ptekrasne veci, ponejvice velke stojaci hocliny. Nic nepornohlo tato-

A nad prizemnim salem, pin'm klinkani a odbijeni hodin (jedny predstavuji pra2skou radnici s orlojem, jine zase Dvoraliovy housle), jsou pokoje, kde bydlela Dvorakova rodina. Libilo se jim v tichem dome Nernce,Schmidta.

Veoer se odtud ozYvaly Dvorakovy houslieky a nekdy i cele kvarteto. To bylo tehdy, kdy2 Dvorak chtel, aby skladbu provedli drive, ne2 po'Sle rukopis do tisku. Sam lira" prvni housle, KUyak& druhe, jeho dcera viola a mladk Kovarik cello.

Jedna mistnost je v pribli2nem stavu, jak obyla pied sednadesati lety.

Steny jsou polepeny zelenkmi tapetami. Na jedne visi staromOdni mosazV rohu je harmonium. na Nan postavili Dvorakovu fotografii, na pultik dali Humoresku. Jsou tu vylodeny i nektere knihy o Dvotakovi, vyidane doma, v Americe i v Londkne. V sklenene via:trice jsou fotografie z Mistrova divota, obrazek z Vysoke u z rodne Nelahozevsi, parnetni znamky, vyclane k jeho jubileu, vkstri2ky z americkkch novin. Je tam take dorueovaci kni2ka spillvillske pasty, kde i Dvorak, hned za pani Hniliekoyou, panem Bilym, Balikem a ,darSimi stvrdil syYrn podpisem pealmistru Kovatikovi, ze dopis z New Yorku v pokadku doael.

Najcieme tu Dvotakfiv dopis, poslany Kovarikovi do Spillvillu 29. ledna 1895: "Mil' Hondiku, psani VaSe jsme jii dam' dostali, ale ja. Vain jeSte zapomnel a proto dnes, kdy mare trochu volnou chvili Vam piSi. Za ni k svatkilm a k Novemu roku yam clekdju a pfeju i Vam vaeho dobreho a hiavne zdravi.

Dnes nebo zitra ()pet eekame psani, plajedou-li tento tyden lode z Evropy. A tak ten eas pornalu doplYva." V race 1947 sem poslal dopis Dvorakilv syn Otakar, penzista z Piabrame.

Vzpomind na Spillville, kde jako desetilety kluk travil prazdniny s otcem a kde chytal ryby s kluky z Kapinusovy farmy. Prosi Spilly illske, aby mu poslali fotografii dome, kde Wien, a napsali, kdo je'Ste iaje z rodiny Kovakikft a ze sousedti a tehdejalch kamaradii, nebot' pro ,staki 112 nemuze ptijet.

V tichu tehdejai Dvotakovy pracovny

oknem do spillvillske ulice si rnideg pkiponienout nektere obrazky z onoho "eta, na pomoc vzpominky soueasnikii, zachycene v kniikach. Uvidime pak, ze Dvokak hned prvniho rana podle sveho zvyka z Vysoke vstal velmi easne hned se vydal na, prochazku do poll, do, lesa a k rece. V pkirode jako by oil tento velky umelec, zaloienim vSak zemity venkovan. Po osmi mesicich slyai zas ptaky! Jeho eltlive muzikantske ucho zachycuje laudbu vaude. SlySi ji ye splavu kieky, ye vocle, zmahajici odpor zeernaleho pne, ✓ pravidelnem ,dusotu koni na silnici, ✓ Aelestu vetru v korunach javorti i v delostielbo hromu. Cestou z prochazky se zastavi v kosteliktt S y. Vaclava., zasedne k varhantm a hraje stare deske kosteIni pisne. Pak zajde na kus keei k nekteremu krajanu, nejeasteji k Sevci Bendovi (Benda vystupuje pak jako ueitel v Jakobinu), A nejednou veeer aaisti u Kovakikil ei Dvotaktit kartieky.

Ain jednou nevynechal Dvorak paptedstaveni, kdyi do Spillvillu prijeli potulni Indiani kmene Iroquois a za doprovodu bubnn ptedvacteli sve Lance a proste pisne. Je znamo, 2e rytmus jejich bubnii utkvel Dvokakovi v hlave a objevuje se pozdeji v drupe vete Scherza v Kvintetu.

Spillvillsky pobyt nebyl pro Dvokaka jen oddechem, Tri dny po pkijezdu dal se s chuti do prace a za 'dvanact dni byl hotov kvartet F d.ur, opus 97, proved' poslodni apravy Novosvftske a hudebnich motive, jez ho ye Spillville a jei zaznamenal do zapisniku, uZil pak v Humo •eskach, Biblickych pisnich i jinde.

Dvakrat byly spillvillske prazdniny preruSeny cestou. Poprve, kdYi pkijela skupina krajand z Chicaga, poiddat Dvotaka, aby ridii slavnostni koncert na Oesk'em dni, pokadanY v ramci tehdejSi Svetove vkstavy. Dvorak pfijel, byl bourlive uvitan krajany a setkal se tam take se spisovatelem Heritesem a raiserem Smahou. Na eesk 3i den p•ialo na ',Meet tisic krajand z nanoha statti USA. Odpoledne Hdil Dvokak svou Symfonii G dur, tri ze SlovanskYch tancit a ptedehru k Josefu Kajetanu Tylovi, konelei hymnou.

A jeSte jednou musel pl-eruSit spillviliskou pohodu. Na pozvani pritele Cechir pana Rosewatera nuiaivil 0mahu a take St. Paul, kde se seS'el s vlasteneckYm knelem. Moravanem Ryn dou. VSude jej vitali a hostili kraja• jichi v 'Leto east" Ameriky zily desetitisice. Cestou se Dvorak zastavil u MinchahskYch vodopadt". T v Well a

Ve stfedu, dne 11. 7,5,,fi 1963 sel muziku a jeden motiv si zapsal na Skrobenou manZetu. Pozdeji jej uzil v Housloye sonatine. Pateho zari byl zase ye Spillvillu. Jenomk eas neUprosne Mel a za, jedenact dnI uZ zase byli Dvorakovi na, ceste. Bylo to smutne loueeni se spillvillskYmi prateli, nebot' vSichni tuSili, Ze se vidi naposled.

Z muzea vejdeme zas do soueasnosti, do parneho spillyiliskeho leta, roku 1963. Sedmdesat roku — a piece eeskY Zivot jeSte zcela nevyhasl. Na Atitech obchoidu eeska jmena. Je tu radioobchod krajana Balika, svarovna krajana Karnika, potravinarskY obchod Ka-lily a dalSi. Krajan Andera, jeho2 navStivime v mistni sporitelne, nam rekne vic. Vysvetli, Ze ze etyr set rodin je tu 'dosudi osmdesat pet procent rodin eeskeho piivodu. Jde ovSem LIZ o druhou, treti a etvrtou generaci, a tak madokdo a malokdy mluvi eesky, 1 kdy nekteri jeke clovedou. VetAinou tu bydli penziste, bYvali farmati.

Pan Andera, dava dohromady historii Spillvillu, takle maze podat strueny ZaloZil jej Nemec z Bavor jmenern Spielmann, ktery sem prikl pred rokem 1850. Pozdeji prijelo jedenact rodin od TYna nad Vitavou, deputatnici ze Schwarzenbergova panstvi.

A pak zaeal hlavni priliv Cechu, jednak ze sousedniho statu Illinois, jednak z vlasti. Nekteri tvrdi, Ze Spillville je vlastne nejstargi eeskou osadou v Americe na zapad od Mississippi. Je jiste, Ze v dobe kdy tu byl Dvorak, bylo slyget ye Spillvillu prevaZne eeStinu.

6eskS7 Zivel byl tak silky, Ze dokonce i Nemci, Norove a 8“reafi, ktefi tu Zili, mluvili eesky.

Zastavil jsem se II pana Mikek, penzisty, kterY mluvi jeS"te dobre eesky, ac se narodil uZ tady. Jeho sestra zahrala a zazpivala nektere eeske kostelni pisne. Oheas si je pry je gte zazpivaji na kruchtiece kostela Sv. clava. Je zajimave, ze nejdele pfetrvava ye Spillvillu hudba. Je to i eeska, kapela, ji kapelnik Vaclav Ovkm, to, co byvalo, uz neni. BYvaly tu slavne koncerty na pamatku velkeho Mistra, prijildely sem syrnfonicke orchestry ze Cedar Rapids, z 0mahy a odjinud. To vSak 1.1Z path minulosti, jeZ je stale vzdalenejAi. Zije ve Spillville jeSte /lad°, kdo pamatuje Dvoraka? kekli mne, Ze je naZivu jeSte nekolik stareti a staren.

Patti k nim i oba bratri Bill. Ti fSak brave nebyli v obci. Krajan Andera mne tedy poslal 1i sve sestfe, starence vysokeho veku, velmi elle mysli.

Bylo ji deset, kdyZ" sem prijeli Dvdakovi. Pamatuje si dobfe, jak vypadal

Ma u2 americkY vzhled, ale stoji na kopeeku a jde se k nemu brankou, eirnZ pripomitolik kosteliktil v naSich vsich.

A za kostelem se se,jdeme s kteri vidavali Dvoraka a mluvlvali s nnn, IN mile vkk nernohli Mei nic. Jejich jmena mluvi o torn, to kdysi byl Spillville tak 6eskY jako trebas easlay. Nejstar gi hroby maji proste, klezne intik a na nich tabulky se jmeny: Jan Vitoukk, Martin OndraSek, Rosalie Kaeirkova, Frank Dvorak, Katerina Novotna, Frantikk Tupy, Vojtech. JaroS. . .

Shimek namisto Simka, Kaboushek namisto KabouSka. To bylo v tdobe, kdy eeStina zaeala i ye Spillvillu ustupovat anglietine, at se pak stahla temet docela.

Vyjdeme-li ze hititova a dame se Dvoraloyou silnici yen z obce, pak kolem lesa a farmy krajana Maika,, zakratko spatrime vesnici v ro yine. Je to Protivin, kdysi stejne eeskY j ako Spillville. Vet jeho kostela je videt zAiroka claleka.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

—HERALD—

FOUNDED 1897

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK A CZECH LIBRARY IN TEXAS Today, we are on the threshold of another great, worthwhile project for all Czech-Americans in the State of Texas. The project and its objective is simply this: the establishment of a Czech Library here in the Southwest.

It will be located here in West — at least for the foreseeable future.

• When your editor visited the conclave of Czech leaders in Granger some time ago, as reported in the Vestnik, we announced, for the first time publicly, our intention of setting up such a library. There were, and still are, numerous obstacles to overcome. There were many problems and considerations. The principal problem was that of where to locate and house such a collection of books. Renting nice, comfortable buildings costs money. There are no funds for such a purpose. Who would undertake the task of collecting and somehow recording such a collection? Who would continue such a task? Who would it belong to? What would be the eventual disposition of such a collection? What about expansion? A permanent liabrarian or custodian? These were only a few of the perplexing problems facing such an undertaking.

• • The one and only thing or desire that compels me to personally undertake such a project is the strong belief that we Czechs here in Texas and the Southwest should have a central place where all Czech books, of all kinds, could be kept for future reference and research. The situation(s) that was directly responsible for starting this project was the knowledge that literally {hundreds, ,perhaps thousands of fine Czech-language books are collecting dust in the homes and basements of many of our older and perhaps deceased pioneers. The younger set is not too interested in these books, since most of them consider their reading knowledge of Czech to be

KNOWLEDGE Knowledge, without wislom's key; A very dangerous, thing can be.

For one may endanger truth's light;.

If one- should fail to use it right.

Yes, knowledge, in the !hands of a fool, Can be a cruel, and a dangerous tool. tool.

But if it be used in wisdom's wise, To the heights of success one may arise.

So God, help us as mortal men we pray; Ever use our knowledge in wisdom's way.

Yes, let us as our knowledge we enlight; Use it to- thine and thy wisdom's delight.

—James Lee ,Roy Phoebus (Echo; Texas Inmate publication, Huntsville).

• • Education is that Which discloses to the wise -- and disguises from the foolish — their lack of understanding. inadequate. As a result, they are being unused; they are collecting dust; are being used as children's color books; they are being abused and torn. They need a home. They need to be preserved for posterity. Books like money, aren't worth anything UNLESS THEY ARE USED. There are some fine libraries, left behind by some of our finest Czech-American citizens. In many instances, they simply occupy and decorate shelves. True, there is much sentimental pride attached to the possessions of one's maternal or paternal grandparents, or even one's parents. Sentimentality has its place, and we Czechs are noted for it. That's good. However, when it comes to something as precious and USABLE as books, then they should, in my jug-

ment, be exposed to the hands, and minds of our future generations.

• • Therefore, this is an appeal to everyone who reads this publication to send to me any and all Czech-language books, pamphlets, bound issues of magazines (no singles, please, at this time) that you wish to donate to the Czech Library of Texas. I suggest that each donor, in each item they donate, write in ink, or stamp, their name and the date they make the donation, so that generations of people to come may see who the builders of the library were. The sending of these materials to West will naturally involve some expense. There are no funds for defraying such shipping charges, so we must appeal to each donor that they shoulder the cost of shipping. Of course, if you like, you may bring the items to West personally.

•

•

A start has already been made. Mr. Joe llolasek of West has agreed to donate a comprehensive set of Czech encyclopedias, ratter dated-, but extremely valuable as research material. Mr. Ben Vanzura, also of West, has donated some interesting historical records and bound paper volumes, dating back to 1894. These items are priceless, and could not be bought at any price, because they no longer exist. Mrs. Karla Kraft recently wrote, " I have no room, for -the storage of my books, and my energies are failing me- to pursue the interests I once had." She offered her books for our use. Bless her!

This is the type of thing we are after.

Entirely too many fine books are being abused, torn and, simply thrown away because there appears to be no further heed for them.

• At long last, and if people "come across," we will have- a Czech library that the entire state can be justly proud of. The reason that I decided to go ahead with the project "on my own" was because getting, a group of

12 representatives, together, with round after round of conferences, would be terribly time-consuming, and the thing would probably never get off the ground. Someone needs to "take the bull by horns" and put the thing over. I decided that I would try. The library will NOT be my personal property. My heirs will not inherit it. De!nations to it will be voluntary. The library will be the .property of the Czech people of the State of Texas. I will seek, and have sought, the advice of people about this project. I will simply be the custodian of the library.; Future leaders and generations can decide what to do with the collection, if anything. All donations will be a matter of record because I will acknowledge each contribution in the Vestr ik.

Tits project SHOULD be a success.

Without the people's interest and cooperation, 'however, it will not be. In that case, we will just have to abandon the whole thing. Send us your Czech books. Let's get them under ONE roof in ONE location. Think of the storehouse of knowledge and research for Someone working on a history of the Czechs in the Southwest!

The building? Mr . Frank Maddox, president of the West Bank ez Trust, has offered, free of charge or rent, a small building, located here in West, just back of the bank building. It is not fancy. Expansion will be limited. We may have to move elsewhere if we get too big, but all things must have their start somewr:ere, and this one is 11 exception. Many big concerns and enterpr ses had their beginnings in small, crow led, humble surroundings. The build.ng will have to be cleaned, since it has been unoccupied for some time.

Some few additional, portable shelves may have to be brought in. We don't know at this time, just what to expect, or just how big Pis project will be We hope it will exceed our fondest expectxtions. That depends on you. the people of this and other states.

• • Mr Maddox and b ink cleerve the sincere thanks of all of us, for coonerati:ig with us on this project.

Naturally, t-Tere is a standing agreement that should the bank need these facilities, or should the property be sold, we would have to move out. I'm confident we could find another suitable place. The important point is that, in any case, the books will be WELL

V B STNfK TAKEN CARE OF, and that they will be, preserved for years and years to come. A little later on, I will ask for volunteers to come to West, and help catalog some of the books, etc. I may call on some specific people to help. I hope you won't refuse.

• Finally, this idea for the future: we should ba thinking of a permanent library site for these books. Perhaps some generous soul will donate a nice building for this purpose. At any rate, we would like to inaugurate a Library Building Fund, which would be used for the future construction of a nice, modern Czech library. The contributions wec iri b deposited in tr: -.e West l'ank Trust (formerly The West Na-tonal Bank), and all such contributions would be publicly acknowledged in the Vestilik. We will probably need something like, a Board of Directors to a,clininiler such a fund, and who would be authorized to dispose of all properties at some future date, should the need arise. I am thinking that I will later ask eaciii of the major Czech organizations in the state to name one individual to this board.

Details could be worked out later. now, we have to start, and that star: depends on YOU! Are you going to those books down in the basement or cn the shelves, closed forever to the prying minds of our society, or will you make them available to future generations, who will seek knowledge which is infinite?

Our societies have supported other e cle avers. W7 not tlais one? We might also in a Czech musenra, another project that has "berged ,doWn" now over a period of several years. Will it ever graduate to the "doing" stage from the "talking" stage? The success of this depends on you. It will be allot:ger landmark the Czechs of this country can point to with pride. F you'll help, I'm •

Mrs. Joe Kudelka -------) 0 ( INSURANCE? wurc Who bem.ht the t57 billion of ordinary life insurance issued, in the United States last year?

Men bought most of it.

People fvom 25 to 35 years old bought the biggest share.

People earning less than $7,500 a year bought four out of every five policies.

The largest amount was bought by people whose policies ranged from $10,023 to $25,000.

The largest number of policies and the largest amount of iris:rance were purchased en the straight life plan.

A majority of last year's buyers are paying te'elr premiums on some kind of monthl y plan.

Figures for tie 'Life Insurance Agency Management Association show some major trends among buyers, according to age, income, sex, type and size of policy, and premium payments.

An analysis of ordinary life insurance bought in the United States last year indicates that, since the mid1950's, there thave been definite trends toward purchases of larger policies and by youhger adults. IncoMes of people who buy life insurance tend to be higher, although a much larger proportion

Wednesday, September 11, 1963 of buyers are paying premiums monthly (due mainly to new pre-authorized cbeck and salary savings plans;.

Family Plans Level Off Family plan policies (which combine a base of permanent life insurance on the breadwinner with additional term -protection on other members of the family) were first introduced in tne mid-1950's. These policies accounted for 19 per cent of all life insurance bought in 1962, although their popularity has levelled off somewhat in the last few years.

Although 89 per cent of the face amount of ordinary life insurance issued in 1962 was bought by men, about three out of every ten policies were bought by women.

Americans earning between $5,000 and $7,500 a year bought 32 per cent of the life insurance issued last year, compared with 26 per cent reported in a 1956 study. During the same period, the share of insurance bought by Americans earning less than $5,000 dropped from 33 per cent . to 25 per cent. The proportion bought by people with incomes over $7,500 rose slightly from 41 per cent to 43 per cent. No change was indicated among people with incomes of $10,000 or mare.

The biggest shift in ages of life insurance buyers was toward young people in their late teens and early 20's, who bought 23per cent of all ordinary life insurance in 1962, compared with 17 per cent in the mid-1950 study.

VERONIKA SVOBODA

A log cabin at Dubina, Fayette County, on May 12, 1874, was the birthplace of Mrs. Vera Svoboda of Moulton. She was the second child of John and Mary Culak, who had immigrated to this country just six months prior to Vera's birth , . They lived in Dubina until Vera's seventh year, then they moved to their newly-acquired farm, some four miles west of Moulton. From here she, her older brother, Frank, and younger sister, Mary, attended Prof.

Ellis' School at Old Moulton, one of the best schools of that time, to which her well-spoken English attested. Being the oldest daughter of a fast: growing family, after four school sessions she had to remain at home to assist with the many duties. hus she grew to young womanhood.

At the age of 17, she and Anton Svoboda entered into the holy bonds of matrimony, making their home for the first eight years at Nickel. During that time they joined the CPS organization lodge at Shiner but members soon realized that this was far too expensive; their having to pay assessments for the numerous deaths in the north.. Therefore, the farsighted leaders conceived the idea of organizing; a benevolent order of Texas, hence the SPJST was born, and the Svobodas became charter members of Lodge Texasky Mir No. 10 in Shiner. There their membership remained for a number of

years even after they moved to Wilson County where they bought a tract of virgin land. It was in this wilderness of mesquite and cacti, inhabited plentifully with coyote and rattlesnake, that Mrs. Svaboda's pioneer spirit stood the test of time, and won! By and by the Czechs of the Poth and Floresville vicinities organized Lodge Vesmir, No. 61, and Anton and Vera Svoboda transferred tretair membership there.

The meetings were held in the Waldheini school, Sunday before noon, just a very short distance from the Svoboda home. After adjourning, the members gathered at the Svobodas' for the noon meal and a few social hours. By this time, four daughters and three sons romded out the household.

The Svobodas then purchased part of the Culak homestead at Nickel, Gonzales County, and the family moved back there. They transferred their membership to Lodge Pokrok Moulton No. 27. Vera ,Svoboda served as godmother of the new emblem of the lodge, which her two eldest daughters made. On the day of dedication Mrs. Svoboda spoke appropriate lines while presenting the flag.

In the fall of 1920, Mr. Svoboda was critically injured by a runaway team which turned a wagon loaded with unginned cotton over on him. For the remaining 30 years of his life, he was unable to do another stroke of work.

Gentle and patient in his suffering, stalwart Mrs. Svoboda ministered to his needs and by the sweat of her brow made an honest living for herself and him, never once seeking welfare aid. Always an ardent gardener, possessor of a green thumb, one recalls the lines so fitting to her: "A garden is a plot of ground, Where man, in blossoms pink and white, Expresses dreams and joys profound, Which he can neither speak nor write."

In 1925 Mrs. Svoboda rented the farm at Nickel and moved to the southern part of Moulton where she bought a home. Here the partnership of almost 60 years ended when Mr. Svoboda died on November 16, 1950. The same fall, Culak Lodge 165 was organized and since it was named after her parents, Vera transferred her membership there.

Sorrow and grief such as only goad mothers experience, came twice to this wonderful mother. First, when her eldest son, Vladik, died at the age of 28 in 1926, and secondly, when her sec-

and daughter, Luc-1mila Darilek, died in 1956. She has two living sons, Miro and Emil of Danbury; three daughters, Vlasta Kulhanek of Hempstead, Rt. 3, Libbie Viasak of Corpus Christi, and Rose Hehvig, who lived with and took care of her mother.

Besides rearing her own seven children, Mrs. Svobo,cla mothered six others, orphans and. half-orphans, parttime.

Although she suffered two strokes and was confined mostly to her bed and a wfieel-chair, her eyesight and hearing - failing, Mrs. Svoboda took life in stride, exemplifying the "Patience of Job," 'atways pleasant and agreeable with those who cared for her and those who called on her. Her greatest joy was when any of her children, ten grandchildren, or thirty-one great-grandchildren came to visit.

Sister Veronika ,Svoboda passed away on August 15th, 1963 in her home in Moulton. Funeral services were held from the Smith Funeral Home in Moulton on August 17th, with J. F. Hohn and SPJST Supreme Lodge President Edward L. Marek, officiating, Sister' Svoboda, was buried beside her late husband in the Moulton City Cemetery.

She is survived by two sons, Miro and Emil; three daughters, Vlasta Kulhanek, Libbie Vlasak, and Rose Helweg; also 10, grandchildren. and 32 greatgrandchildren.

JOHANA KOZELSKY

Johana.. Kozelsky, member of Lodge Karel Jonas, No. 28, East Bernard, was born Dec. 29, 1869, in the village of Male Albrechtice in Moravia. She came to the United States in 1881 at the age of 12 with her older brother. Her maiden name was Johana Nacha. Sister Kozelsky was married twice. Her first husband was Frank Poesel. Upon his death she was left with three sons.

After some time she was married to Alois Kozelsky. They had eight children. Altogether Sister Kozelsky reared 11 children, six of whom are still living. Sister Kozelsky and her husband, Alois, both joined our Order at Lodge No. 12, Dubina, and later transferred to Lodge Karel Jonas when it was organized. Sister Kozelsky lived in her own home in. East Bernard, and was very active for her 92 years of age. She recognized all her friends, of which she had a great number, and derived great pleasure out of seeing her grandchildren and great-,grandchildren, whom she clearly loved. She often

related her experiences of the conchtions, and the bad times when cotton was selling at 4 cents a pound, the hardships, how they had to provide for the family, and how they had to save to be able to pay their insurance premiums.

â&#x20AC;˘

Sister Kozelsky passed away August 25th, 1963, at her home in East Bernard. She was 93 years, 7 months, and 30 days old. She was buried on August 27th from the Urbish Funeral Home, and from Holy Cross Catholic Church, with Msgr. Josef Valenta and Father Henry Rachunek officiating. She was laid to rest in the church cemetery in East Bernard.

Sister Kozelsky joined the SPJST on July 1st, 1897. At the time of her death, she was a member of Lodge Karel Jonas, No. 28, in East Bernard.

Surviving are two sons, August Poesel of Blessing, and Joe Kozelsky of East Bernard; four daughters, Mrs. Annie Sklar of Wharton, Mrs. Emilie Krenek of Hun,gerford, Mrs. Emma Pustejovsky of Eagle Lake and Miss An tonia Kozelsky of El Campo; 15 grandchildren, 50 great-grandchildren, and six great-great-grandchildren. )O(

Fraternally, Rose Parma, Secretary, Lodge 66 ) 0 LODGE POKROK. HOUSTON NO, 88

Dear Vestnik Readers: The Labor Day weekend is over and that means all the youngsters are back in school for the next 9 months.

Over the Labor Day weekend, a group of Lodge 88 members made their

Wednesday, September 11, 1D93 annual retreat from city life at Lake Travis out at Camp Spicewood Hills, with Brother Ed Kadlecek trail master and guide-in-charge.

The caravan of 8 cars left Houston Saturday morning at 4 a.m. with a stop at La, Grange's Bon Tons for a good hearty breakfast. We then proceeded on the journey, reaching our destination at 10 a.m. The ride thru the hills around Travis Peak was a beautiful sight. We found the camp site in perfect condition, This was an altogether outdoor camp, with two cabins for food storage. Each family selected their camp grounds for the three-day stay and set up their living quarters. After everyone had unpacked their car and settled down, it was time for lunch. This was prepared campstyle b'y the best cooks: Brother and Sister John and Frances Ka.dlecek, Frank and Frances Olexa, Ed and Louise Kadlecek, Millie and Frank Najvar, of Belton and Della Talasek of Temple. They kept the camp fires burning while some members of the group were fishing, hiking, swimming and boat riding. The champion fisherman was Brother Ernie Hanka, who brought in a 6-lb. : bass. Ed Kadlecek, Larry Kruse and Al Haas were also lucky with the next best catch.

The nights were real nice and cool â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so cool in fact, we had to look for more cover in the middle of the night.

Early Sunday morning (hikers were Oscar Helmcamp and my husband, Bill Vornsand. They were returning from a 2-mile hike, as we were getting up in the early morning.

We had three photographers in the party who took pictures of the surrounding scenery. They were Richard Schnell, Tim Kostom and Jarda Cerny.

The children enjoyed swimming, boat riding and fishing. Johnny Kadlecek had ,the misfortune of getting a fish hook caught in his finger. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Schnell drove Johnny to Marble Falls to get medical aid.

Saturday night the group got together and sang songs, part of the choral club members were there, so that was like a rehearsal. It felt good to be away from the constant hustle and bustle of a large city, especially the heavy traffic.

This was a good experience for a large group of people consisting of 16 families, to learn how to exist out in, the wilderness in case of an attack. It was fun; we all had a ball; and already some have put in their

Wednesday, September 11, 1963 reservation to trail boss Ed Kadlecek -e for next year's outing.

Don't forget the big dance September 14th. MuSic by the Knights of Dixie, here at Lodge 88.

On Saturday, ,September 21st there will be a free wedding dance honoring tatty Jo Slang and Gene Dobesh.

Music will be furnished by the Henry Brosch orchestra. .Grand march will start at 8;45; so come early.

Fraternally, Evelyn Vornsana, Ent. Comm. Reporter ) 0 (– SIUST LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Members and Friends, After returning form a very enjoyable Labor Day trip, I thought I might drop a few lines of friendly cones. pondence to my friends across the state. It's been a very long time since my last letter to the Vestnik, so here's honing you'll bear with me.

Goodness me! Se ptember has arrived and youngsters have begun another schOol' year. No doubt this will be a very busy, fast-moving Month, as our young -people begin again to adjust to the daily routine Of attending Classes, doing hOmework attending' extra-curricular - affairs and the like. The school years, both elementary and secondary, are Veje most • ithportant years of a young" person's life. So much is to be had by those young rnen and-women :who avail themselves of the cpportuni. ty to furfT-:er -tr eeir education. Men, and women. are needed in every walk of life as ,qualified leaders and instructors: The basic training °Dr young people receive in schools today. will prepare them for a brighter tomorrow in a rugged 'hard-working world.

However, school is only part of the training they will need for their futures. Clean, wholesome, family living will provide a strong foundation for a secure tomorrow. Along with treis, your membership in the SPJST will give you so much of what is needed to get along with Many and varied personalities, to organize and to lead group projects, and to provide a knowledge of business and social meetings.

Sioce your parents have thought enough to enroll you as a member of the SPJST Order, why not take ad'vantage of V:e many opportunities that await you? If you are not already an active part of your lodge, start now to become so. Get others interested in fraternal work and you will never regret it. Read the many wonderful articles and notices that appear in the

vtaTNfK Vestnik concerning the opportunities that are yours in the SPJST. Your Editor certainly has your interests at heart and his words are wise and very clearly understood. The SPJST Youth Program rt:'as come a very long way and !still has a very long way to go. The adults in our Order are doing more than their part to further your cause, and now you, in turn, must do your pal t.

The youth in. District Three have a wonderful o ance to become active in the SPJST by attending the next District meeting to be !held September 29.. There are so many plans for our young people and you should be there to li. i en and, more important, to speak your opinions. Also, the State Talent Contest will be held very soon.

Start making plans to attend; that is YOUR day!

May I add a note of congratulations to those who participated in the recent insurance seminar that was held in Temple.. I understand it was very interesting and proved to be very successful.

My best regards and a very friendly hello are sent to the Ceska family of Waco, whom I saw a few weeks back, and to the Stroebel family who visited. me on their recent trip to Dallas fram their home in San Antonio. Such visits are few and far between but such a great pleasure when they occur!

Bye for -now! God bless yoU! Fraternally, Jerry Ann Urban )O) LODGE NO. 117, ROBSTOWN Dear Members and Friends: Well, it finally happened, it rained!

The rains came on the 30th, and 31st of August, but were not general. We got about 4 1/9 inches. But in places they are still dry. The rain was in the form of local showers. We certainly did need it, even though there are not any crops growing now we need it for next season. We will have to ,get a lot more to get subsoil moisture.

Our meeting of September 1st was called to order by President Jaro Rektorik; roll call of officers; everyone present.

Then the minutes were read by our secretary, Sister Peggy Knesek, and accepted as read. Acceptance of a new member was approved. He is Jeffery Jerome Janak, our own dear grandson, who was born June 29, 1963, to Brother Jerome and Kay Janak of Callallen.

So far he is the youngest member of our lodge.

15 Books were audited by Brothers Walter Wrsian, Willie Malek and Adolph sijansky. Toney were found to be in order.

A report was read by Brother Victor Janak on the progress of the plans for the big picnic celebration we are planning for the District Seven meeting and our 50th Anniversary. Various committees were appointed and plans completed.

The financial report was read by Sister. Helen Pavelka and the meeting was adjourned.

I think I will give the directions to the Community Hall where the picnic and meeting will beheld: You drive West from Robstown on Highway 44 about 3 miles, take the paved road north (right turn) go about 1 mile, then turn west (left turn). About 2 miles further you will find thre hall.

We certainly urge everyone to please come out and help us celebrate, as we are very proud to have an opportunity to celebrate this anniversary.

I am sure the Barbecue will be good because Willie Malek is an excellent chef, and has turned out many a pound of barbecue.

The program in the afternoon will be fine; Sister Alice Rektorik is in charge and she's very good at that.

Sometnin.g that is always a lot of fun and I'm sure everyone enjoys is a cake walk, and Sister Beth} Jurica will have charge of that.

At night there will be a dance and ae music will be furnished by the very popular and versatile Pavelka's Orchestra. Their music is always enjoyed by all.

So long for now and see "you all" at the Robstown Community Hall on Sunday, September 15.

Fraternally, Mary Janak, Reporter 1 0( DISTRICT SEVEN FALL MEETING District Seven Fall meeting will be 'held on September 15 at Lodge No. 117, Robstown. The meeting will be called to order at 9:30 a.m. and end at 11:30 a.m.

LETTERS CORPUS CHRISTI Dear Readers: This is a reminder that Lodge 117, Robstown, will be hosts to District Seven on September 15th at which time District Seven will hold its regular Fall Ate( ting. The meeting will begin at 9:30 anl.

I am asking the sisters of Lodge 117 to contribute a cake to the cake walk from which the proceeds will go to the lodge. Each family is expected to' do their part and help out whenever they are asked, so let's all be present and do our duty.

Well, the bad year will soon be in the past and the farmers will be hopink that it will be better next year. It wa ,, pretty rough here in South Texas because the grain and cotton crops were short. Rains are still spotted and most of us are needing several inches of rainfall. The last 22 months Nueces County and several in the area have received very little rain. Nueces County is 15 inches below normal rainfall for this year, so you can imagine how dry it is. The rains are so far apart that by the time it rains again, there isn't any moisture in the ground.

The last few days I've been busy starting my fall garden. Of course, there is no other choice but the "water hose," but maybe it will rain next month and the vegetables will survive the drought.

Once again, don't forget the District Seven meeting on September 15th.

Fraternally, Betty Jurica ) 0( LODGE NO. 165, MOULTON Dear Readers and Writers, Once again I will try to write some news from our friendly little town of Moulton. Farmers wish for a good rain to soak the ground for the winter plowing. Many have plowed already; some haven't even started. This is to let you members know that our next meeting will be held the 3rd Sunday of this month. That will be Sunday, September 15th at 2 p.m. as always. The change is due to our Catholic parish having their annual picnic. So we want all the people to go to the picnic.

Don't forget to come to our meeting.

We need you there.

Since my last report we lost another pioneer member of our lodge, Sister Vera Svoboda, and also Chas.

Beran. He was not a member of our

lodge, but he was liked by everyone.

May they rest in peace. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved families.

We are glad to hear Vat our sick members are up and walking.

The trail riders of our county and nearby had a big celebration and dance at our Lodge Hall. Haw many attended I don't know because I stayed home, but I heard there was a huge crowd.

This will be all for tonight because I have no more news to report. I will try to do better next time.

Joe B. Hejny ) 0( SALES COMPETITION It made ,us happy when we received the news that Districts No. 3 and No. 5 challenged one another to a sales contest. We feel that a contest such as this not only brings in a lot of new members but also poinoteS - fellowship and goodwill among our workers.

The contest starts October 1st., and will be in effect through November 30th. In order to be fair to both districts, it is set up on a percentage basis on the averages of 1960-1961 and 1962. Organizers of District No. 3 have to earn 200 points to reach 100 per cent of their goal. Organizers of District No. 5 have to earn 250 points to reach their goal of 100 per cent: An application will count as 1 point and each $1,000.00 of insurance will also count as 1 point. This, we feel, will be fair to both districts. The business written by District. Organizers will not count toward the goal.

Let's start reviewing our prospect list now and be ready for the big take-off.

In their works, the writers deliberately misrepresent the question of nationality in Czech musicians, who flocked to Germany in the 18th century.

The two professors claim that Stamic was of German origin and submit as prodf the name of his birthplace.

Stamic was born on June 18, 1717 in Nemeeky Brod (German Ford literally

translated). However, the 'term "Nemeeky" (German) in no way signifies the nationality of the inhabitants of the village.

Stamic's father, Antonin Ignac, was born in 1688 in Pardubice in a purely Czech surrounding. He was an organ1st in the church of Nemecky Brod.

His mother, Rozina, was born in Prague in 1693. Her father professed the Czech language and writing.

23' DVORAK'S SYMPHONY NO. 5 IN E MINOR — FROM THE NEW WORLD Musically and historically, the New World Sympl ony has special meaning to Americans. When the precussion section of the ore estra delivers its salvos, the rhythms seem animated by the same pulsating energy that transformed the ,American wilderness into the country it is today. When the solo flute in the first movement intones the melody that some have identified with "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," someth,ing of the heart and spirit of America seems revealed in sound. And in the broad sweep and splendor of Dvorak's themes he appears to express our national sense of broadness, of space.

'I: 're work suggests the great distances and quantities and wealth, the enormous bounty in timber and wheat and metal tb at have stamped our history and our national character. Actually, as his biography shows, Dvorak composed this symphony before he could observe much of this at first hand.

He hadn't yet realized how much elbow room there was in America. But he had sensed the vastness and generosity of the New World, compared to his native province of Bohemia, and he had exulted in the freedom (he found here.

"This symphony," he explained to a Czech friend, after less than a year in the United States, "will differ very considerably from my others. The influence of America must be felt by anyone who has an y `noW at ail:" The sympii- ony stands as a milestone along the winding road that stretches from Puritan hymn-singing to our music of the present. It arrived at a crucial time in our native musical growth. Having come to teach, Dvorak told his American pupils that they had overlooked the riches in their own backyard. In the folk-songs of America, "these beautiful and varied themes," the Bohemian master discovered "all that is needed for a great and noble school of music." And in the symphony he set an example for all who followed.

"From the New World" is the first direct link between America and the classical tradition of Europe. Dvorak's visit to this country ended our isolation from the world of Brahms and Beethoven — and, paradoxically, it helped to free American musicians from the oppressive notion that great art could originate only in Europe. If Dvorak could find the inspiration for a symphony in this country, why couldn't we do the same?

NECROLOGY

Duchess Contestant Susan Bohac and Escort Cary Zaludek; Duchess Contestant Shirley Hilsher and Escort Richard Schnell, at Lodge 88 Princess Ball.

Critics are still debating how much is ,genuinely "American" in the "New World Symphony." Perhaps we could say that the New World accounts for its breadth; the Old World for its form. No one can deny that this is one of the finest European symphonies ever written. Dvorak's title was ambiguous enought' to start an argument from the very first. "It seems I have got them all confused," se sighed ruefully. He had only intended to convey "impressions and greetings from the New World," and later he cautioned writers to "omit that nonsense about my having made use of 'Indian' and `American' motives ... I tried to write only in the spirit of those national American melodies."

The music itself bears him out. Only the second theme in the first movement resembles any known folk song.

H. T. Burleigh, a prominent Negro musician and a pupil of Dvorak, recalled that the composer was "deeply impressed by the old Negro spirituals . It was my privilege to sing repeatedly some of the old plantation songs for him at his house, and one in particular, 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,' greatly pleased him- ... Part of it will be found in the symphony, first given out by the flute . . . " The two melodies may be related by coincidence or `design, but the rest of the score only suggests overtones and undercurrents of AmeriCana. The introduction and the main themes of the first move-

ment bear the firm stamp of a nineteenth-century European symphonist.

In the second movement, noble harmonies in woodwinds and brass introduce the English horn solo that became known as "coin' Home' through a choral arrangement made by an other of Dvorak's conservatory students. The more animated middle section of that movement is sometimes interpreted as "the gradual awakening of life on the prairie" (though Dvorak' hadn't seen the prairie when he wrote that passa ge). The brilliant "Scherzo," the third movement, sounds far more Slavic than Iroquoian in its dance rhythms.

Horns and, trumehets blare out the powerful first theme of the finale.

The clarinet ventures a gentle answer against a background of strings.

Themes from the earlier movements then reappear in rich ,interplay; they build to a climax of towering proportions. None of this, Dvorak attested, "would have been written just so if I hadn't seen America." )0( The performances of the Prague Teachers' Choir were ranked among the top events of the Fourth Austrian Song Festival in Salzburg. Its concert of classical and, modern Czech vocal imusic was received with enthusiasm, as was its program of Austrian and Czechoslovak folk songs.

LIFE COMPANIES IN U.S. TOP 1,500 MARK The niunber of life insurance companies in the United States has passed the 1,500 mark according to the Institute of Life Insurance.

An Institute survey shows that there were 1,503 legal reserve life companies in business throughout the nation on June 30th. This was an increase of 31 companies over the 1,472 doing business at mid-year 1962.

Only about 1 per cent of the life companies do business in all 50 states.

At least two life insurance companies are chartered in each state, with more than half the states ,having 15 or more companies. Texas, Arizona and Louisiana led in number of home-based companies, but New York, New Jersey and Connecticut companies had the largest amounts of insurance in force.

Life company tome offices are located in 361 different cities, led by Dallas with home offices of 114 companies.

The Institute reports that, since the early 1950's, the greatest numbers of new companies have been established in the south and southwest, Where population has been growing 'at a fast pace.

Smaller companies, specializing in the life insurance needs of the families in their regions, are competing successfully and in fact have been growing faster than many larger companies, according to the Institute.

Stock companies account for 1,347 or 00 per cent of the total number of companies, while 156 or 10 per cent are mutual companies. Being older and larger for the most part, the mutual companies account for about 60 per

23

VASTNf K

EWE AUGUST PLENTIFUL FOODS FOR TEXAS Careful grocery shoppers can look to five plentiful foods as they plan summer-perfect' menus this August, reports the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

Summer vegetables and canned tuna are featured on the official August list of plentifuls, as determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in cooperation with growers and the fOod trade.

Also expected to be in supply that exceeds normal needs are waterMelons, peanuts, and salad and cooking oils.

Supplies of specific summer vegetables will vary at different markets of the state. Generally, though, look for an abundance of tomatoes, sweet corn, green beans, beets, cabbage and lettuce. "Good buys" also will prevail on a number of in-season local vegetables.

Canned tuna joins the list becruse heavy inventories have caused concern among folks in the tuna industry. They are conducting a nation-wide promotion program that means economical purchases for consumers. Tuna is an ideal hot-weather meat, for sandwiches, salads, casseroles and other uses.

Watermelon supplies are expected to be at least as large as a year ago. Pea,nut foods, including peanut butter, are perfect summer snack items. Stocks of salad and cooking oils are about 700- million pounds larger than normal.

Wise shoppers can take advanta ge of the abundance of these plentiful foods by serving them often and generously. Lower prices and wider choice of quality usually accompany abundance.

0 VACATION TIP FOR- FLOWER CARE. Before you leave on. that summer vacation, follow this tip to keep potted plants from drying out while you are away.

First, water each plant thoroughly.

Wednesday, September 11, 1963 Next, spread out on a flat surface a plastic bag like those in which your clothes are returned from the cleaners. Place a pot in the center of the bag, gather the bag around and over the top of the pot and fasten it securely around the base of the plant with string or clothes pin. Do this with each pot.

The plastic bags will prevent moisture from evaporating into the air and you should find your plants fresh and healthy when you return. ) 0 (â&#x20AC;&#x201D; HURRY-UP BREAKFAST IN A MUG "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date," cries the white rabbit looking frantically at his big pocket watch. Although he may be in more of a state, Alice's rabbit friend does not have a monopoly on lateness. How often members of the family dash downstairs to breakfast using the rabbit's "I'm late" refrain.

A good mother and wife wants to help the family avoid tardiness, but at the same time she knows the importance of a good breakfast. The best solution is a quick but nourishing breakfast.

Let honey help add energy and essential vitamins and minerals to those days of hurry-up breakfasts or leisurely ones. Honey can be used on toast or bread as a spread. Honey is delicious on dry cereals. Hone y adds sparkle and flavor to fruits and fruit juices.

Honey adds an excellent extra touch to pancakes, waffles, French toast. muffins and biscuits. Try this wakerupper: Honey Orange Eggnog 1 egg separated 2 tablespoons honey 1 cup orange juice Beat egg white until stiff. Beat egg yolk until light and then beat in the honey and orange juice. Fold in egg white. This recipe may be changed to use 1 cup of milk in place of orange juice. Serve in mugs.
