Je to Krezovo bohatstvi, a to nesou vystaveny delo govane sbirky v trezorech, ktere jsou pristupny jen tem, kteri je odborne studuji.

Podivejme se vSak fdriv k jeho zrodu.

Bylo zalo geno 15. dubna 1818. Zaeatky muzea byly velmi tegke. Nemelo za sebow takovy vYvoj jako na ptiklad sbirky videriske, j ej ich g zakladem se staly soukrome sbirky rakouskYch panovnika. Kdyg se v sedmdesatSich letech

nuleho stoleti hledalo nejvhocinejg misto pro novou buciovu Narodniho muzea, dostal Fr. L. Riege.r vYbornou mySlenku. Navrhl, aby budova Narodniho muzea byla, postavena za Konskou bra,nou. Ui tehdy — jeSte pied 88 lety byly hrdaby z dob Karla IV. dostaveniekem tech, kteri se racli zahledeli na velebne mesto s SirokYm KofaskYrn trhem.

V roce 1875 se zaaalo s bouranim hradeb. Se stavbou pak 1885. Stayba, pokraeovala velmi rychle a za dva roky byla jil zhruba hotova. Sta.la 4 miliony rakouskYch korun. 0 rok pozdeii se ul pracovalo uvnitk a v roce 1890 byla budova hotova. Tent rok byli muzejni spravcove poslani do velkYch evropskYch muzeji na "zkuSenou". Po jejich navratu pak doSlo ke slavnostnimu otevreni prostor Narodniho muzea v Pantheonu dne 18. kvetna 1891 a nova budova byla odevzdana narodu a svemu yzneSenemu poslani.

Byl to jeden z velikYch dna naSi historic.

JeSte v dobe predmnichovske republiky nebyla situace Narodniho muzea nijak ruzova. Peel o ne provadela pouze zeme Ceska a proto, pies skuteealost, to Muzeum uz tehdy melo vYznamne poslani v organizaci celostatniho vedeckeho a osvetoveho Sivota republiky, met° jen yYznam regionalniho zariseni.

Osudna Hoc ROMAN

Pokra6ovard Nic ji nyni neodsuzuje, spravne jednala a dopustila-li se po go tilosti, byla to ta, Sc se predeasne oddala Maehalovi. Chapal, Le ji k tomu dohanela vzpominka na budejuenost dvora, byla v ni selska zaliba v pfide, kterou chtela uldrSeti, ale nepotrebovala to einiti ted'. Otec je je gt6 statnY a kdyby byla chtela, on sam by byl gel k ni za hospodare. A mel ti prosaditi a by by to prosadil, proto ge by byla ho poslechla., kdyby byla videla, Se je odhodlan a nepovoli.

Co ted'? Ted' je kolnec, rekl si zloJiny ma na ni pravo, ktereho krajne vyuSitkuje, ona btule na neho zapominat, ag ji nadobro glhostcjni a co si bez ni pane? Nenajde Sadne jine, ktera by mu ji nahradila, protoSe Sadna, nebude miti onoho prirozeneho ohne a zaplanuti, jakeho je °ha schopna. To niebyla a neni obyeejna va geri, ktera ji zmita Velem, je v torn cosi hlubgiho, slaynostnej giho, vymykajiclho se utkvelYm predsta.vam. Dovede vplanouti, ne aby hrala se s yYmi city, ale aby proSivala chvile, ktere jsou ji potrebou a kterYmi uchva-

Ve stredu dne 20. kyetna 19 cuj e kolem sebe. Je krasna, krasnelgi ne2 vSechny estatni, j e silnd ye svem odhocilani a jde nebojacne s yYrn cilem i kdyby pili tom utrpela iihonu rna sve povesti. Takova jsem, povicia bez bazne, je mi lhostejno, coo rime soudite, proto2e jde o me Stesti, a ne o Usudek lidi, kteri 1-iechapou, nebo aspcaa cirri se neclaapavYmi, woe tak einim a jaka je v tom krasa a zadostiueineni.

Mam ji rad, ptiznaval se sarn sot* je to prvni 2ena, ke ktere jsem opravdu prilnul a pro kterou jsem ochoten prinesti jakoukoliv 째bet'. Miluji ji ka2c1Yrn nervem a nemohu bez ni bYti 2iv a piece jsem se dopustil to g ilene blahovosti, 2e jsem se Sel divot na to, jak ji zakon ,Java jinemu. Jak jsem to rnQh1. udelat? CoZe mite to aspon yeera je gte nenapadlo, abych se pokusil o zrnareni tohoto einu?

Pravda, poukazovala na to, 2e jsem prilig star a ze bych za nekolik ztratil zajem o manost, abych ji byl mukm, ale to je le2, jako veZ. Aspon tech nekolik let jsem mel zachraniti, ;byl bych zavreltrei, kdybych byl videl, ze ochlada, ale byla by bYvala mou a toto peuhe \Wont' bylo by mi ptisobilo uspokojeni. U2 je konec v g emu, prorne g kal jsem upozorneni sveho osudu a co si bez ni poenti?

Skreil se v zr(ufale bolesti a nepozoroyal ani, 2e povoz pied lesnim &adept zastavil. AZ kely2 koei seskoail s kozliku, trhl sebou a chvatne vystouSel dorms jako po pameti, ptevlekl se, mleky pokedl a potorn beze slova vy g el ven. Nemohl vydrCeti pod stechou, potrebeval bYti Sam a diode lesem, pokracoval ye s yYch tivahach.

Stale byl mysli v Satorine a se zlostnon 2arlivosti si ptedstavoval, jak ten lVfaciala dr2i v naruei tu, ktera patrila jemu. Nebyl dalek pustit se do Satorina a bezohleclne se dovolavati sveho prava.

Unava ho ptemahala a vracel se zveeera dome, aby nakraeoval y e svem sebetrYzneni. Nedbal, ze ho adjunkti Lena pozoruji, vyhYbal se Yg em a zavten y e sve kancelari znovu a znovu opakoval si li g e, co kolikrat ji2 jeho mozkem pte glo. Ona ru2 neptijde, ona se mu ocicizi, tikal si den po dni. Ztratil jsem p a ,cbocliti do Struneic bylo by peidlesti. Snacl piece na neho vznomene a nektereho due se zievi nebo mu napi ge. Neni nao2no, aby .n,airaz ho oclhodila, aby si nevzpomn61a na svou minulost.

Zase ho Ptepardlo poku geni jiti do Satorina, v gak ho tarn zvali a jiste by to, nevzbudilo podiveni, kdyby se

VESTNtE: tam objevil, vzpomenuv si v gak, 2e by tam napadi Machalu a 2e by se musel jak se kit sve 2ene duverne chova, bylo by mu to nesnesitelne. Mold by snad Baborovou po2adati, aby ona tam do gla, ale zatinsl se odporem myglence, 2e by mu nabizela nahradu. Ne, nikdy u2 se teto podlosti nedopusti, zprotivila se mu, 2e se jako, stin mezt neho a Zuzu postavila.

A piece, kdy2 se u neho Baborova objevika, zachvel se neekavanim, co inn prina gi. Prigla nastrojena, s hloupe vyzYvavYm Usmevem a vidouc, je Sankot v kancelati sam, chtela se k riemu pribli2iti.

"Ani se neuka2ete," posteskla si vyeitave.

"Neni mi dobte, mom velke starosti a nevim, kdy mi bude volneji. la jste si nejake cltivi?"

"Pro j menol chci si vziti listek na dva metry paliva, ;ale nespecha to.

Veera byla ,u nine pan; Machalova a 2aciala me, abych yarn vyridila, 2e by sc s vain' raidn pozitti setkala."

"Pozitti?" opaikoval oNvene. "A kde?

"Bude pry sama d,onia," povidala vahave, "abizela jsem ji, aby priSla k nam, ale nechce, ;nen-11째12e prY , nechati di/Ur prazclny, mul g ti budou asi prye. Je to zbyteene tak daleko mohli jste si u nos pcpovidati a neunavil byste se tolik."

"Tedy pozitri," povidal nedbaje jejich slov. "Hdy main prijiti?"

"Nevins, inerikala nic, jen main abyste pri g el jako po prve, vite pry, jak to bylo."

"Ano, vim. Dekuji vam, jste hodna, clam yam dtivi, mnoho-li ho pottebujete a nechci penize, nafietuji to pro sebe."

"Nechci si nechati davati dary,' oclmitala rozmrzele, "rada bych se zeptala, kdy k nom prijdete?"

"Musite mai strpeni, vg echno; yam vysvetlim, ale ted' nemohu yam co bude. Teldy pozitti. Prijdu, a vzka2te ji, ze jsem ,u2 eekal, kdy vzka2e. A zde je p ouka.zka. Hodna jste, jiste yam to nahradim."

Aby ptekail jeji pokus k nemu se etevtel dvere do sousedni kandelate, dvete nechal otevteny a vzav poukazku, vypinil ji, razitkem opattil a vriaceje se, zase dvete nechal otevreny.

"Zde je," povidal hlasite, "nekdy se k Yam podivam, jen co budu mitt po praci. A kdybyste je g te nee째 pottebovala, mil2ete vzkazati tteba po hajnem. Natidim mu, aby vam ye vgem vyhovel. Venku je teplo, 2e? Jste hod째

11 ne uhtata a jate zvolna, abyste se neunavila."

Ke dverim j i dovedl, nevgimaje se jejiho zamraeeneho yYraz,u,. CO mu zaleZelo na Baborove, kdy2 pozitri se setka se Zuzou. Zavrel dvere, zadival se do prazdna a jeho oblieej zazaril.

Piece si vzponmela, dice, aby prigel k o,bedu a pripomnel si, jak to bylo krasne, kdy2 s ni obedval a tdy2 ho ona talk laskave obsluhovala. Tehdy mu byto, jako by byl v nove sve domacnosti a jako by jeho milovana 2ena mu proka,zovala peel.

Jdu brzy, leki se, podivav se no hodinky. Co ted'? Venku nemohn zustati, vzbudil bych pozornost lidi a tam budu pteka2eti. Necht' dostaei mu, kdy2 bude sedeti v pokoji, kde mu; vgechno pripomene minule navgtevy a Zuza mu jiste odpusti. ekala ho. Byla malieko bleda jindy, nle jeji ocs byly zativejgi. pied nim mleky, 'sotva se vgak dvefe za nimi zavtely, vrhla se mu prudce do naruei a oei se ji slzami zalily.

"Umru steskem po tobe," zavzlykla, "nemohu, bez tebe bYti 2iva, proto2e ty jsi jedinY, ktereho main rada."

"Ani ja nemohu bez tebe byti 'Ay," jektal v ohromnem, rozru geni, "domtstil jsem se zbabelosti, 2'e jsem ti devolil se vdavati. Zeinru bez tebe, nesnesu, aby link se to dotYkal. Nikdy jsem nemel 2adne j ine tak rad, jako mama rad tebe. Pros jsi ,neprijala me nabidnuti, 2e se dam rozvesti a .Z.c; jdu sem k tobe? Jsem sice hodne stall.", ale zaeinain teprve nyni zits.

Ttasla se mu v naruei a poslouchala jeho pt vat slov, ktera jako by tigila vYbuch jejiho pldee.

"Jen kdy2 me ma g stale stejne rad," povidala, jako by se ze sna probudila.

"Pojd', sedneme Si, nernohla jsem se to doekati, celott noc jsem nespala a u2 mi zdalo, 2e se musim obleci a be2eti za tebou. Zde si sedni, prisednu

Zase se za el vela a tesne se k nepfitisknuv gi rukama ho objaia a drZela.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK SURVEY REPORTS 1.1 MILLION JOBS' IN U.S. INSURANCE More than 1.1 million Americans were employed in the insurance business last year, including agents and office personnel in all lines of insurance.

According to a. United States Census Bureau sample survey sponsored by the Institute of Life Insurance, about 37 per cent of all insurance ethployees were agents, and 30 per cent were home office workers. About 28 per cent were office personnel in agencies and brokerage firms, and about 5 per cent were employed by consulting firms, trade associations, government agencies and other organizations.

There were 582,000 persons employed in life insurance last year. about half of whom also worked on other lines of insurance. The total included 262,000 agents and 320,000 office personnel . Of the office personnel, 154,000 were in home offices of life insurance companies, 166,000 were in agencies, brokerage firms and other organizations.

About 62,000 of the agents specialize in other lines of insurance but derive between 10 per cent and 50 per cent of their income from life insurance.

A minor percentage among all of the agents specializing in life insurance are women, most of whom are married.

Women agents also include many who are widowed or divorced. Only about one out of ten women life insurance agents is single.

The survey showed that life insurance agents are hard workers. About 38 per cent of them (women as well as men) work more than 50 hours a week.

About 54 per cent of the men and 38 per cent of the women work from 35 to 50 hours a week. Only 1 per cent 04 the men work part-time, although about one-fourth of the women agents are part - timers.

Among the life insurance office personnel, 71 per cent were women. Nearly half at them were single. About four

About one out of eight were widowed or divorced.

About 130,000 women office personnel are employed in life insurance companies' home Offices, about 157,000 in agencies and brokerage firms, and about 7,000 in other organizations.

About 8 per cent of all life insurance office personnel are part-time workers. About 85 per cent work 35 to 50 hours a week. About 6 per cent mostly men, probably including many company executives, work more than 50 hours a week.

• • FAMILIES HOLD ON TO LIFE POLICIES American 'families kept their life insurance in force during 1963 at the same high rate as the previous year.

They again gave up only 5.1 per cent of all ordinary policies in force during the year. It is the lowest ratio since 1956.

Although lapses and surrenders of life insurance tend to go up and down

with general economic conditions, surrenders of bider policies always run sharply lower than lapses of newer Policies. During 1963 ,the surrender rate for ordinary policies that had been in force two years or longer was 3.5 p er cent — also the same as 1962 and the lowest since 1956.

Families were paid nearly $1.5 billion last year in cash values of ordinary policies they surrendered. This total was up more than 3 per cent from 1962.

Although families sometimes must turn to the cash values of their life insurance for emergency funds in financial crises, there are also many cases in which a family surrenders a policy as a planned move in a longrange economic program. For example, families often use some of their cash values to help pay for children's college education. And, at retirement, many policyholders use some cash values to augment income, TRAFFIC DEATH PAYMENTS RISE SHARPLY IN 1963 Motor vehicle accidents set tragic records last year for both the number and amount of .death payments by life insurance companies.

Holders of 50,000 life insurance policies died in traffic accidents, a 9 per cent increase from the 46,000 in 1962.

This was a larger increase and at a sharper rate than in any previous year for which figures are available.

Life companies paid $189 million to traffic victims' families, or 15 per cent more than the $164 million paid in 1962.

The National Safety Council reports that 43,400 persons were killed in traffic accidents during 1963, or C per cent more than the 40,900 death; in 1902.

The number of life insurance policies exceeds the number of deaths because many traffic victims had several policies.

Czech float that participated in the San Antonio Fiesta Fla mo Parade on April 25, 1964. The float was entered under the heading, "Czech Societies," and was built jointly by the San Antonio SPJST, KJT, KJZT, HD, and RVOS Dodges.

Standing in the middle of the float is George Vacek and Ma rilyn Roban. Torch bearer in front is Jerry Or,ak. Seated between the two is Bertha Hager, member of SPJST Lodge No 133. Others are, L to R: Diann Webb, chairman of the float Mrs. Jean Wolff, and co-chairman Mrs. Ann Riebe.

(The theme of the float was based on the Czechoslovak Olympic team winners).

LODGE 133, SAN ANTONIO Dear Editor and Friends: I must write and tell you about the Czech float that our lodge, and several others, built and entered in the Fiesta Flarrio Parade held in San Antonio on April 25th.

In the accompanying picture you can get an idea of the overall picture of the float, but in order to get a more vivid idea of what it looked like, I will give you the color details of the float.

Generally, it had an overall "wintery" appearance, with mountain snow and pine trees, to depict the Olymp ic winter season. At the very top of the float, there are red flowers of the sort that grow in Czechoslovakia in the winter season, but I don't know their name. The winning boy and girl team in the middle have on black and white Czech Olympic suits and are standing on a ring of "ice" with their skates on. The torch carrier has on a white Olympic suit, an olive turban on his head, specifying that he is a win-

ner. The rest of the people on the float have on Czech costumes with black vests made of velvet, skirts of all collors, red, pink, green, orchid, white blouses, with pinafore sleeves, and white, lacy aprons.

Many people worked long and hard to build the float, but Brother James Kostelnik deserves a lion's share of the credit because he worked for about three weeks on the float. It was a lot of fun for everyone.

District III, Organizer SEATON SCHOOL REUNION AT LODGE NO. 17

The date of the first Seaton School Pupil-Teacher-Trustee Reunion is fast approaching. The reunion is set for Sunday, May 24, 1964 at Seaton Star Hall, which is located about 7 miles east of Temple on State Highway 53.

The hall was chosen instead of the school because of the excellent facilities: seating, tables and parking areas.

Those pupils who wish to show their family the school where they spent their school days may do so. The schoolhouse has meen improved, with a modern lunchroom, gas heating, and air conditioned rooms.

The planning committee has been busy with obtaining the names and. addresses of the former teachers ince we tried to invite each one with a card. some of you readers might know the whereabouts of the following: C. C. Cross, W. B . . Hamner, Minnie Baugh, Eura Lee Ellison, Mrs. Chas.

Sugarek, Miss Georgia Jtnicak, Miss Lillian Hajek, Miss Elizabeth Baker, Lillian Gullberg, Mrs. Willie E. Schiller, J. F. Mikusek, Miss Rose Cervenka, and Herman Some of the single ones are married now and we do not know their names nor addresses. Anyone with help in this information, please drop me a card irnme . th . ;!71y, because time is fleeting. Or if you would call this person and invite him or her for us, it would be appreciated.

We are also asking for help in advising those former pupils or trustees

20 who live out of town and do not receive the Temple newspapers nor the Vestnik. If you know of anyone in your city who is a former resident of the Seaton community, please call him and tell him of the school reunion.

Plans are to, start registration at 10:00 am. with Misses Patsy Jo Hejl, Trudy Mikulas, and Betty Jean Zabcik in charge. Name cards will be filled in with the name and address of the person for identification.

The noon meal will be a spread :lunch, with each family attending bringing some food. We have to have a basket lunch this first time because we do not know how many will attend.

Please put your name on the dishes that you bring so you may locate them by telling the kitchen committee if you couldn't find them yourself.

An afternoon program is scheduled to start at 2 p.m., with Mr. F. E. Hejl, Jr. as the master of ceremonies. County Supt. Connally Neal, who has been so helpful to us in our work as a committee, has consented to be our principal speaker and will also lead group singing. Recognition of all teachers and trustees and the awarding of gifts to the oldest and youngest pupils and to the one coining the farthest distance is on the agenda. A photographer will be present to take group pictures. So try to be present and then you will have a lasting memento of this enjoyable day if you buy a picture.

Make plans to be present at this big event. Will you be there to enjoy the wonderful fellowship?

With best regards to all and hoping to see you at Seaton Star Hall on Sunday, May 24th.

Fraternally, Mrs. Jerry Pechal, Reunion Secretary, Route 3, Box 275 Temple, Texas 76501 --SPJSTRosebud, Texas Dear Brother Morris: I appreciate your inquiry on my reactions on your editorial in the Vestnik of 5-12-64. You have always tried to be fair and impartial on all matters, and I enjoy reading your editorials and various comments.

I heartily agree that something should be done about procedures in our District Meetings. Selection of future officers, next meeting time and place should have priority over other matters. Certainly, children's programs, meals, visiting with friends are important, but I think the presiding of-

VESTNIK ficers would welcome a change. More interest in the proceedings would be shown, and order would be easier to maintain.

As for Brother Stasa's comments on the District Organizer question; the past few years' record speaks for itself.

I am sure Brother Stasa, has the best interest of our Order at heart, and every question always has two sides.

Brother Hejny has done a marvelous job in the organizational field and deserves a lot of credit for his leadership and training of local and District Organizers in their quest for better methods of presenting our various plans to the people of Texas. I can speak for myself when I say that every training session I ever attended was helpful, and in the long run profitable. Brother Hejny can use all the help he can get, especially since the organizational phase has undergone many changes in the past few years.

What the convention will decide to do about District Organizers is a good question, but I can say one thing: everyone of them has to have some other means of making a living besides the remuneration they receive in overriding commissions.

Fraternally, John J. Plasek, Dist. Two Organizer -SPJSTLODGE NO. 54, WEST Dear Brothers and Sisters: Our regular meeting was held last Sunday, May 10th. which was Mother's Day. The meeting was called to order by our President Robert Cervenka; the Pledge of Allegiance was led by three Youth Club girls, then the minutes were read and approved as read Various letters that were received were read by our Secretary.

Brother Alvin and Sister Wilma Nesuda of Lodge 25, Ennis, were recognized.

Brother John Kostohryz is still on the sick list, but is much improved. He is still in the Marlin Veterans Hospital.

He was allowed to come home on Mother's Day, but is back in the hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Our Annual 4th of July Picnic was brought up. The committees said anyone who wants to volunteer to help may do so because there is always help needed. It is always the same ones who are working and they would like to see some new faces helping. Various suggestions were made for the entertainment on the 4th. These will be brought up at our next meeting.

Wednesday, May 20, 1064 At our last meeting it was brought up whether our lodge shall again be represented in the Little League games. The motion did not carry, but at this meeting it was again brought up and it passed, so the boys who will represent our Lodge will have insignias with "SPJST Lodge No. 54" on their uniforms.

There will be a banquet in our hall on Tuesday, June 16th for the delegates of the convention, and for this purpose there will be a ,special meeting called Friday night, May 22nd at 8 p.m. Members are asked to come to this meeting Brother Nesuda made a brief talk.

Then Sister Nesuda took the stand and spoke in behalf of the Youth Club; her talk was interesting.

Sisters Frankye Mae Mikeska and Helen Cepak resigned as Youth Leaders, so Sister Estelle Marek is now the Youth Leader, and Sister Adele Nemec her assistant.

When the meeting was over the Youth Club had a nice Mother's Day Program, which was enjoyed by all.

Names were drawn for a lucky mother to win the door prize, and this lucky mother was Sister Estelle IVIarek.

After the program lunch was served.

Our next meeting will be held June 7th.

Fraternally, Bennie Soukup, Reporter -BPJSTSOKOL HOUSTON Dear Members and Friends: We had a very beautiful day on Mother's Day and a very enthusiastic crowd at Sokol Houston. All mothers were given a small orchid in memory of this important occasion. Beautiful pot flowers were given to the oldest and most charming mother: Mrs. Stupl ffrom Dallas, who has seen 87 wonderful years; our youngest and very attractive .mother was from New York, Mrs. Rose Sicner; and the mother who had the most children was the delightful Mrs. Sustala, who has given life to 14 children. We had a number of mothers in the 70 and 80 year group and also a number of young mothers but I failed to get the names of all of these.

Sokol Houston had a capacity crowd and a number of persons could not find tables to sit at, but we will try to core 'sect this situation at our next barbecue next month. We did not anticipate such a large crowd; however, we are always gaining customers, so

Wednesday, May 20, 1904 come early and stay late. The popular Lad Pavelka Orchestra furnished the free dance music and I believe that every mother will remember this as a special day.

The BLilding Committee has been working diligently on our new building and it has been decided to increase our building in size by 1,200 square feet.

As our president, Charlie Petrzelka, stated in the meeting, we know that our gym will not be adequate in size in future years, but, he stated that this is the problem of any growing organization and we have to get to a certain point before we can advance to the next.

I would like to remind all to make plans to visit the Ennis Sokol Slet in July which I feel will be an enjoyable affair. All of the members are working hard to Make it a success as all our slots are. May I extend an invitation to all to visit and participate with us for a more healthful body and mind.

Nazdar!

Emil Kuropata, Reporter LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Friends, Lodge 88 had its meeting last Friday, May 8th. President Tim Kostom asked the membership to stand in silent respect for the members who passed away the past month: Joe Kalousek, Delphine Sostak, and F. W. Lehde, father of our Mrs. H. H. Finn.

Brother Kalousek was president of our Lodge when the present hall was built and was the father of our faithful and hard-working Brother Milton Kalousek.

New members were accepted, and the following were initiated: Mrs. Mikes , David Harris, B. P. Mitchell, Ernest Stidston, and Walter Smotek.

Welcome to our Lodge! Important matters were discussed by Brothers Louis Hanus, Ernest Hanka, Emil Horilea, and Jarda Cerny.

"Happy Birthday" was sung to Gladys Sembera, Marie Celatka, Itasca Cerny, Vladimir Bily, Bob IVIartinak, and yours truly. Delicious snacks were served, and Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Horcica and children, Allen and Peggy. Many thanks, friends! As you probably remember, Allen was the escort of our winning Duchess, Sandra Sembera in our 1963 Duchess and Princess Contest.

The comedy "Smokla Slepice," presented by our wonderful dramatic club, is one of the very best plays I have ever seen! It was so funny, and

VESTNfK all the actors played their parts so well; those of you who missed it, try to see it if they present it again. My mother, DvIr:. Frank Krejci, who is 82 years old, sa ,v it, and I realized how very much she enjoyed it when she said, "I never dreamed I would see something like that in America!" For a superb job of acting, our congratulations go to actress Birdie Hilsher, Marie Johnson, and Wilma Sin:neck, and actors Tim K(Y3tom, JanISthreiff, Karel Matejka, Rudy Sefcik, Eman Kouba, Johnnie Sula . Emil Vala, and Felik Skarpa, and also to pianist Naomi Kostom and Jerry Pokorny, and prompter Frances Olexa. I know it took many hours of hard work, and we are deeply grateful for this pleasure you have given us. I hope you put it on again, so more people will get to see this hilarious comedy!

The dinner and supper served when the dramatic club presented its comedy were delicious. Our capable Sister Annie Vala a.nd her helpers did a wonderful job. The following sisters contributed that day: cakes — Itasca Cerny, Helen Schnell (2), Evelyn Vornsand, Annie Vrla and Naomi Kostom.

Pies — Birdie Hilsher (3). Estelle Kelly and myself. Kolaches — Marie Elsner (11/2 doz.), Minnie Bravenec (1 doz.), Mrs. Stasta (3 doz.), Josie Pilat (11/2 doz.) and Sophy Hruby (3 doz).

Thank you, sisters!

Lodge 88 has a special date coining up, and that is Sunday, June 7th, when we will have a barbecued beef dinner. You will hear more on this, but do set aside the date, for besides the good dinner, there will be a program and dance.

I just want to remind all about the District 5 delegates' meeting at Needville, Wednesday, May 27th at 7:30 p.rn.

Have you heard about the wonderful prizes to be given at the Grand Opening of our new hall? There will be fifteen prizes totaling $1500, including such prizes as Philco colored TV, Stereo Hi-Fi set, Dryers, and cash prizes!

Lodge 88 has a dance this Saturday, and as usual, we have a fine orchestra, Herbert Kiesel's Knights of Dixie of Schulenburg. They put out such good music; do come out and have fun with us!

Fraternally yours, Tillie Helmcamp

Dear Vestnik Readers, On April 26th we had our open house. It was a great success. Many people attended our supper and many friends stayed and danced to the music of the Hi-Liters.

I would like to thank these people for donating something to our lodge: Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Marck donated a framed picture of the late president Kennedy and a picture of President Johnson and his family; Mr. and Mrs. Vine Nemec donated a large mirror.

On May 10th we had our Mother's Day Program. Many recited poems, and sang songs, played in a skit, or played in the band. Many were present and they enjoyed our long program.

We had a list of the program but we had to change it so many times. I will try to list the acts.

Charlene Volcik was the announcer.

The following recited poems: Linda, Kral, Harry Kral, Darlene Nemec, Jeanette and Leo Makovy, Debbie and Janice Hanzlicek, Carolyn Cepak, James and Freddy Kaluza and Kathy Marek.

Those singing were Bernadette and Patricia Kocurek, Shirley and Darlene Nemec, Rose Marek, Dolores

24 Cepak, Jane Mikeska, and Charlene Volcik.

Those in skits: Shirley Nemec, Rose Marek and Bernadette Kocurek. Also in a different act were Jane and Joyce Mikeska.

After they played the mothers served refreshments. Also if I left out anyone in the program, I am very sorry but I tried to remember everyone. After the refreshments we played baseball. But for me, half of my toenail is off, but I'm still playing baseball. We 'really did practice baseball!

May 22nd is our last day of school.

We are still having final tests. The school year flew by so fast.

May God bless you.

Fraternally, Ruthie Schuetz, Reporter -SPJST----LODGE NO. 6, COTTONWOOD Dear Members, Our last meeting was held May 3rd.

We planned that we would have a Mother's Day program. On May 10 we had our program, and I think it worked out just dine. Poems were recited, and the "Jr. Beatles" performed, then there were parts that showed how mother was when she was a little girl until she grew to be much older. There were also many other parts that were played.

There were presents given to the oldest mother, the one who lived farthest away, to the mother who had the most children, and to the youngest mother.

Wednesday, May 20, 1964 Our next meeting will be held June 7. I hope to see all the members there.

Yards and Gardens ON THE LAWN With Larry Lawrence Have you noticed how the word mystique has crept into the English language lately. It doesn't even list it in my Webster, but you meet it on all sides. The mystique of politics. The mystique of modern jazz. The mystique or rose growing. It seems to imply a combination of mystery and the special technique needed to solve the mystery.

The mystique of rose growing is something I run into all the time. So many people think they have to have a magic touch, or magic in the soil, to grow roses. And when they hear the real secret they won't believe it.

Do you know what it is? In a nutshell it is this. The number of blooms is in direct ratio to the number of leaves. It takes about 35 leaves to support one bloom. And to get more leaves and hence more blooms — you have to do two things. Feed and protect. Feed to produce the leaves and then protect them from insects and disease.

DR. C. J. PACLIK, who passed away suddenly of a cere= bral hemorrhage at Gainesville Memorial Hospital on May 3. He died at the age of 47 and he had been practicing veterinary medicine for the past 24 years, Funeral services were held on May 5th at the First Christian Church, with Rev. Mix as officiating minister.

Surviving are his wife, Elizabeth, one son, and two daughters; also his father and two brothers.

May our deceased brother rest in eternal peace.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, witb Liberty and Justice for all.

Not long ago, driving through New England, I stopped at one of those antique shops where all the big stuff is spread out all over the lawn in front.

What stopped me was the sight of something right in the middle of the ladder back chairs, coffee grinders and earthenware jugs. It was a beat up old lawnmower. Not much older than I am, if any, and already a bit of authentic Americana.

I told this to a friend in the hardware business and his comment was interesting. He said that despite the tremendous increase in power mowers, the hand mower seems to be staging a comeback. Apparently some people don't like fussing with a gasoline engine. Some object to the noise and the smell. And an increasing number seem to welcome a little easy weekend exercise in the open air.

Improvements in these mowers has been a big factor in the revival of course. They are lighter in weight and most of the old clickety-clack friction has gone. The old idea that it's a good thing to leave clippings on the lawn has been thoroughly disproved. And all good makes of mowers have detachable catchers -designed so that the weight is on the handle.

25 The beautiful lawns in England are so much admired by all visitors. Now there is one more point about them that I would like to bring up and that is the question of grass clippings.

In England you never see them left on the lawn. In fact you can't buy a mower over there without a contrivance for catchin,g the clippings. Here, many people leave them to decompose on the theory that they help the soil texture by putting back some of the material lost by mowing.

The fact of the matter is that, whereas the value of the clippings is negligible, there is a lot to be said against them. When they turn brown they can give a lawn an unpleasant burned -out look. Worse than that is their tendency to form a mat or what nurserymen call "thatch." Another thing: matted grass makes a good breeding ground for fungus diseases.

So don't think that sweeping up lawn clippings is a waste of time. Far from it. And if you buy a grass catcher to attach to your mower by all means do so.

—SPJ ST— IDEA TO AVOID POISON IVY Every year many people unnecessarily suffer severe and painful skin irritations because of contact with poison ivy and other related plants.

G. O. Hoffman, Extension range specialist at Texas A. and M. University points out that poison ivy - and poison oak are widespread throughout Texas, particularly along streams and in shady places. He says that all parts of of the plants are poisonous, particularly the sap.

Only a small amount of toxin from the blisters on a person is needed to cause inflamation to be transferred from one person to another. Don't be fooled by the idea that burning the plants will serve- as a protective measure, for the toxin may also be spread in smoke.

Hoffman offers these suggestions for prevention of poisoning by the plant.

Take particular care not to come in contact with poison ivy plants. Neither should pets be allowed to run through the plants as the toxin can be transferred on their feet. Do not burn leaves and trash that contains poison ivy plants. Should contact be made with poison ivy, wash the contaminated parts of the body thoroughly with soap and water. Neither should contaminated clothing be worn until it is washed.

With care, ammate will satisfactorily GOOD

control all growth forMs of poison ivy without danger to other parts of the soil. The chemical is also safe for use around animals and humans, For more information on control of the plant, Hoffman suggests contacting your county agent.

C A first-night audience in Kiel, West Germany, gave Pavel Kohout, the Czech poet and playwright, a rousing ovation on April 7 for his stage adaptation of Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days." The play has been running- for some time at the Maxim Gorky Theatre in Berlin. Dr. Gieselher Schweitzer directed the production for the Kiel theatre.

• Professor A. Leon Howard of the University of California in Los Angeles, now visiting Czechoslovakia at the invitation of the Charles University, gave two lectures to students of English in April. The first lecture dealt with aspects of the work of Shakespeare and Melville and was described by members of the audience as "brilliant." Professor Howard's second lecture, illustrated by tape recordings, and held in a most relaxed and friendly atmosphere, dealt with "Cowboy Songs and Lingo." An account of the progress of a typical nineteenth-century cattle drive from Texas to Kansas City and Montana was used to link examples of roping songs, cook's songs, stampede songs and hoe-down music.

0 Czechoslovak film director K a r el Kachyna was awarded the prize for the be g filryt production at the Sixth International Film Festival in Buenos Aires. The film he directed and which was shown at the event is entitled "EXpectations."

• • The 10th annual review of Czechoslovak concert art openede in Prague on April 10 with a presentation of "Greetings" by Czech composer Jaroslav Ridky, conducted by the dean of Czechoslovak conductors, the 85year-old honored artist, Frantisek Stupka, The review, which is devoted to chamber music this year, will include the music of Bohusiav Martino., Boccherini, Reiner, Bach and many others, played by the noted Smetana, Janacek, Novak and City of Prague quartets.

CZECHOSLOVAK MUSICIANS ABROAD

Theatre groups and variety artists gave guest performances in 15 countries in April. The Prague "Laterna Magika" theatre company left for Munich on April 1 to perform its version of Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffmann" and its special international show, created originally for the Brussels World Exhibition in 1958. The La, terna Magika specializes in a combination of music, live acting and ballet, and 'film projection on screens of various shapes and sizes.

The Bratislava Quartet gave 23 concerts in Italy , and the Suk Trio left on April 2 to begin its one-month tour of West Germany at Ludwigshafen.

Others performing in West Germany are the Dvorak Quartet, the Musica Viva Pragensis group, cellist Milos Sadlo and conductor Vaclav Smetacek, who has also been invited to Hungary.

Opera singers Drahomir Tikalova, Stepanka Stepanova, Jaroslav Horacek and Jaroslav Striska will take part in the Linz (Austrian) production of Dvorak's "Requiem." Tenor No Zidek will sing on Janacek's "Jenufa" at the Vienna Opera, and Antonin Svore appeared as guest performer in Budapest.

Jarila Rudolfova sang Richard Strauss' "Salome" in five performances at Freiburg and Ivana Mixova appeared as Carmen at the Hannover Opera, which also engaged Oldrich Spissar as Walter von Stolzing in Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg" for the rest of this season. Tenor Jan Hiaysa appeared in several operas in Yugoslavia.

The Prague little theatres "Na Zabradi" and "Semafor" went to the Soviet Union and Holland respectively.

The Prague "Black Theatre" continued its highly-successful tour of Australia.

Czechoslovak variety and circus artists appeared in Poland, Austria, Great Britain, Sweden, Yugoslavia, Denmark and Norway.

The Poetry Theatre in Bratislava premiered Swiss playwright Durrenmatt's "Night Conversation" and Edward Albee's "The Zoo Story," recently.

One of the first persons an expectant mother should tell her good news to should be her physician.

Every woman who suspects that she may be pregnant should visit a doctor promptly to obtain the benefits of modern medical guidance.

Wednesday, May 20, 1964 The need for medical care through,out pregnancy and ;following birth cannot be over-emphasized for healthy babies , and mother's health and peace of mind.

In what ways does a doctor help the expectant mother during pregnancy?

The doctor gives an expectant mother a careful physical examination to determine her general condition, He answers questions she may have about pregnancy and birth.

The mother-to-be is given instructions on diet, exercise, rest, bathing and clothing. Usually there need be little, if any change at all in her customary daily activities . Any fears she may have can be talked over and explained.

During the first six months she visits the doctor about once a month. This enables him to keep check on her general condition, blood pressure, pulse and weight, as well as to make appropriate laboratory tests.

The doctor also treats possible discomforts such as constipation or morning sickness. He tells her what to watch for and answers any questions that may be puzzling her. The doctor is trained and willing to talk over any emotional problems or worries that may arise.

About halfway through pregnancy, the pregnancy, the doctor is able to bear the unborn baby's heartbeat and follow Ins growth and progress. In the final month the doctor will see the expectant mother about once a week.

He tells her how to prepare for the baby's birth and her stay at the hospital. A preview visit to the hospital is a good idea so that when the time comes she will know where to go and what to do to be admitted. The doctor makes the hospital arrangements so that everything will be ready when she arrives., With early and continuous medical care and advice, the big day should be as rewarding as anticipated for the mother, father and baby.

Your Information:

STARTING SALARIES FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES Starting salaries for prospective college graduates are of concern to many young people this spring.

Here is information about beginning average salaries being offered to male college students who will receive a

Wednesday, May 20, 1964 bachelor's degree this year . It should be of interest to many Texans, says Mrs. Wanda Meyer, Extension home management specialist at Texas A.&M. University.

With a few exceptions, the industry making the most job offers also was providing the highest salaries. For instance, electrical engineering students were oI1fered 647 jobs for the aircraft and space industry with an average monthly salary offered of $633. The high was $692, the low, $574.

If the same students were interested In working for the electrical machinery and equipment industry, the number of jobs available would be 226 and the salary average would be $619. The aircraft and space industry ranked highest in the number of j ob opportunities for five of the technical curricula.

Average beginning monthly salary offers quoted include: Humanities and social sciences, $450; marketing and distribution, $459; business, $453; accounting, $538; Metallurgical engineering, $600; civil engineering, $607; industrial engineering, $610; mechanical engineering, $617; chemical engineering, $612; physics, chemistry, math, $617; aeronautical engineering $628; electrical engineering, $633.

In humanities and social sciences, job offers were more evenly divided among all the categories of employers.

The highest number — 32. offers — came from banking, finance and insurance, with an average salary of $452. From the merchandising — retail and wholesale — field came only 27 offers, but the average salary was a little higher — $468.

and emotional growth.

Based on their combined experience in juvenile counseling and child psycology, the directors, Mr. and Mrs. J. Melone, believe that a medically suppervised camp that takes calories into account and offers courses in dieting, skin care and good grooming, along with riding, fishing and pack trips, can benefit girls whose weight problems have made them "feel different and out of things."

It is not suggested that these special camps can accomplish miracles during a nine-week summer vacation, but better eating habits, and new mental attitudes can be developed which may have lasting results.

BROODING STILL IMPORTANT TO POULTRYMEN

The most important period in the life of today's high producing chickens is the period from hatching to about 21 weeks of age, says Dr. W. F. Krueger, professor in the Department of Poultry Science at Texas A. and M. University.

Many poultrymen feel that brooding and rearing practices are of minor importance in the future performance of birds, he says. But a bird can only attain its genetic potential when it is handled with good husbandry and management practices. These practices should begin before the bird is hatched

27

and must be continued through their production.

Kreuger recommends several practices important in the broecH:g and rearing of baby chicks. First, start the operation with well-bred, healthy chicks and don't allow them to become chilled or too hot in transit. Chicks should be put into a clean and disinfected house. Floors, walls, feeders, waterers, and brooding stoves should be thoroughly cleaned so the birds will have disease free housing.

Temperature of the brooder is also important in brooding of chicks . The initial temperature should 'on about 92 to 95 degrees F., says Krueger. Hover guards should be placed around brooders to make certain that chicks don't wander into corners and become chilled, he adds.

Adequate feeder and water space go hand in hand for efficient produc tion. Research has shown that insufficient feeder or water space make as much as a fifth of a pou.nd difference in the growth of birds to eight weeks of age.

Other factors of importance in proper brooding and raising of chicks, are adequate floor space, immunization of birds and prevention of cannibalism The latter problem is best solved by debeaking the birds at an early age, says Krueger.

DESIGNED TO HELP OVERWEIGHT YOUNGSTERS, Because overweight in children and teenagers can have unhappy repercussions all through life, more and more summer camps are adding "diet and weight loss" to the traditional activities of handcrafts, folk dancing, swimming, hiking and group sports.

In many instances the camps are designed expressly for overweight youngsters who use the summer months to lose unwanted pounds and change their eating habits while they are away from home and in the company of other children who share and understand their problems.

Typical of such "weight conscious camps," is Kalama Trails Ranch, Longview, Washington, where overweight girls are helped toward physical, social

The poultryman reminds that pullets and broilers cannot be expected to live and produce profitably if they have been abused in the brooding and rearing phases of their lives.

BIOLOGISTS CHECK MARINE FISH TRANSPLANTS Several species of the saltwater fish transplanted to inland lakes during the last 10 years have exhibited spectacular growth, according to biological reports of the Parks and Wildlife Department.

The long list of experimental marine introductions in Texas lakes includes redfish, spotted sea trout, southern flounder, black drum, atlantic croaker, spot, striped bass, shrimp, blue crab and oyster.

Redfish and flounder have been most successful reaching astonishing size in two or three years. There still is no evidence that any of these marine species have reproduced in their new environment. , If established in inland waters, large marine ,fish could provide fishing thrills for sportsmen and be a constant and effective predator on rough fish species such as gar, shad, anti carp.
