TyrS, elovek veinal vzdelany nad prbmér profesora, byl nepritelem vS'eho polovieateho. Plati o nem to, co sam napsal o Manesovi: "Wad vgednost vynikat, tvorit jako nikdo predtim netvoril".

UCIYIE SE CESKY Lekce osmnacta — Lesson 18 Correcting some often - made errors.

In this lesson, we will deal with some erros that are frequently made by Czechs in our area.

KDE — KAM These 2 words are probably misused more than any other. We frequently bear, "Kde jedeS?" This is wrong. To indicate the physical action of going somewhere, the word KAM is used: Kam jdei; Kam jedek? The word Kde indicates a stationary situation, and cannot be used to indicate physical action. Ex.: Kite to je? Kde bydlite? e je nadra:,;,i? etc. And using KAM, )ve say the following: Kam pojedete yeeer? Kam pajdete po divadle? Kam jste li po zalhave etc. All you need to remember is rwhether you indicating action ,;:r not.

SEM — JSEM We call words like these homonyms; /be y sound the same but have entirely different meanings. In English, some homonyms are: there, their, they're; bear, hare; and close, clothes.

SEM means "here ; or "to here", with ACTION. Ex.; Viiera pi• jeli sem. Pojd' sem! Dejell sem 4'astne. All of these involved Action in coming or getting h ere.

JSFM means simply I am, or used with certain verbs, denotes tense, or time something happened.

Ex,: Jsern ui star gi elovek.

Jsern byl (hula) na vilete v horach.

Jsern se met dob•e.

In speaking the above two 'words of sem and isero, there is practically no reco gnizable difference; however, in 'writing it makes all the difference in tha ) ,arld. One means one thing, and the other means something else..

SPRAVA — ZPRAVA

TNIK

Here are 2 tricky words, both written and pronounced exactly the same, but again have 2 entirely different

meanings. It is therefore important that we know how to s pell the one we wish to use.

SPRAVA — means administration, or SPRAVKA, which is a repair; or SPRAVITI, which means to fix or to repair.

Ex.: Statni sprava je umistena v Anstine.

Strojnik provedl spravku na prance.

Potlarilo se mu na'S prijima.e spraviti.

• ZPRAVA means 'report'. Ex.: Pin redact podal zpravu o skole. (Using both words: Vedouci statni spravy podal podrobnou zpravu o sve einnosti.)

UMET MOHU

Umet means "to know how to do things". It must not be confused with MOHU. Ex.: Umite mluvit Cesky? Ten elovek neumi mleet. Urni g hrati na, klavir?

MOHU means "I can", indicatin g permission.

Ex.: Mahn jet s vami — Can 1 go with you?

Ano, mohu yam to •ici.

(In colloquial speech, "inoiu", and "mtiZoti" may be used for mohu, motion.)

NESMilVI NEMUSIM Nemusim means, "I need not don't have to."

Nesmim means, "I must not".

SMUT

Smi"..t means, "to be allowed to" Stnim.— I may Strki — you may Smi — he (she) may S- pinne -- 'we may smite— you (p1.) may Smell — they may ,Ex.: Smim kourit? — Smite.

Smim vas doprovodit? — Nemusite.

EXERCISE Use the following 'words in a sentence. zprava kde mneti kam mohu sem nesmim jsem musim spriva smeji swim • • "Cist'ounka Anieka" Pohlerl'nelte na Anieku jak Olive padla v kaPekt Ted' tu stoii — nevi radv; rod jenorn sla do zahrady! pak neposlechla mati, ze si smi j en doma hrati.

Vybehla, ie se proski.ee ted' tu stoji, smutne (Read out loud and translate).

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK PHYSICAL FITNESS ?

CHOOSING FRIENDS

One third of all 18-year old youths registering for selective service are found to be mentally or physically unfit for military duty. Put in still another way, this situation looks even worse. Approximately one-half the men called up for preinduction examinations at age 22 1/2 fail to pass the to ts. This is because a large percentage of the most physically and mentally .fit youth volunteer for military service before reaching the current induction age of 22 1/2 , which leaves a higher percentage of the unfit to take the draft tests. Getting down to figures, 49.8 per cent were rejected in 1962. In Texas, the situation is even worse, where the rejection rate ran 53 per cent in the Plat six months of 1963.

In .Harris County, 55.3 per cent of the young men were rejected.

Some • choose their friends as they choose their hats — The flashy kind and daring.

Alas, that kind of hat, or friend, Grows irksome with the wearing!

Some friends are more impressed by what another owns, or spends.

Friendships like this are idle show -When money's gone, it ends!

Some folks choose friends whom they can use; This causes woes and worry, For when they've used friends all they can, they dro p 'em in a hurry!

All of this in a nation that has the highest standard of living, more food, higher productivity, newer and more sophisticated methods of capturing nutritional values, greater varieties of food and many other things that added together should make us the most physically fit nation on the face of the earth. Or have we been physically unfit all these years and just didn't know it? Or have standards of physical fitness been upgraded that much?

The answer probably Plies in several factors. The principal offenders are: that highly-prized American possession, the automobile; automation; good roads; and an ever-increasing eh -ession fcr competitive sports, which, in turn, are a multi-billion dollar business, and which turn their backs on the youngster who may not be mentally or physically disposed toward such sports. Hence, more and more adula-

tion of a few players, while thousands, wacch, either in the bleachers or in a comfortable easychair. We have indeed become a nation of spectators of sports. This non-participation and physical sedateness in younger years leads to the sort of physical deterioration and untitne ,s that causes such a high rate of rejection of our young men during military physical exams.

It is a national problem, so serious that the late President Kennedy saw fit to establish a Commis-ion on Physical Fitness, to try to determine just how this serious trend could be reversed.

Imagine, the United States of America having a Presidential Commission on how to devetiop and maintain physical fitness in young people. This problem, however, is not new to mankind. One need only to re-read the history of the ancient Greeks and Romans, who, after having achieved a certain level of "civilization," became so flabby, slack, and soft that they were conquered by their enemies from without, but as a result of conditions created from within.

Starting this past July 1st, all youths

are being examined immediately after registering for the draft at 18, instead of at induction age. Thus, physical rejects are being told what is wrong with them, which, in most cases, they are not even aware of. Each case is then referred to the youth's own doctor or to pub!..ie health authorities, and followed up. He becomes, in a sense, a sort of "physical ward" of the US Government since the government is vitally interested in his potential use as a future .fi ghting man. Mental rejects are being asked to . report to "manpower conservation units," being set up in the 1900 regional US Employment offices around the country, where interviewers will seek to determine what is needed to fit them for a useful place in life.

• Naturally, there are great advantages in finding out what is wrong with a young man at 13 instead of 22 or 23. It is estimated that .1 in 10 physical rejectees has a disorder that can be completely corrected by the time he reaches 22; two more in each ten can be greatly helped. The earlier, the better. This youth problem is not only a problem for the armed services.

Figures show that 31 per cent of the mental rejects are unemplOyed, hence, another drain on the welfare rolls and the tax payer. This situation then, not or!ly affects not only the individual and the services, but the nation's whole life and economy. Any rehabilitation in this direction is well worth the time and expense connected with it. And it is well to start it as early as possible, before the life pattern and attitudes of the youngsters become fixed; before they are employed permanently, married, or about to be married.

There are those who predict that

Czech Day At The State Fair Oct. llth (SEE THIS ISSUE FOR SPECIAL PASTRY CONTEST)

Wednesday, September 23, 1964 competitive sports in our schools will socn be supptiomented with a rigorous, planned program of physical fitness, geared to include ALL young pupils at school, and which would stress physical endurance, muscular coordination, involving precision body drills, gymnastics, and the like. In other words, the emphasis would be on physical de velopment of all, with de-emphasis on sports where a dozen or so play and thousands watch. The one big drawback to competitive sports is that a per...on san play them for a very few years of his life. Then what? They are fine, but again, they involve such few people. Gymnastics and regular body training, can take place throughout an otherwise healthy person's lifespan.

You can't naav tackle at 60.

The Sokol physical fitne-s program is gaining more and more attention.

The close cooperation and coordination between the Sokols and the SPJST afford many of our young people the opportunity to take advantage of an excellent physical fitness program.

Check into it in your area. If there is no Sokol unit near you, contact school, officials and impress upon them the necessity of physical training at your school, and I don't mean the 30-minute "play periods" of springtime softball, either. Calisthenics and gymnastics require participation by ALL constantly, not standing and watching while others do the running. These games are ati right for "fun", but do little for the physical development of the body.

If they don't get it at school, chances are they won't get it at all, because when they get home, the family car takes over. End exercise.

Much has been printed in the Vestnik about the forthcoming Czech Festival at the State Fair in Dallas on October 11th (Sunday). The program starts at 10 in the Colliseum, lasts for two hours, then continues in an informal, fashion in the Bandshell after that. You should all be making plans • • to go and support this effort.

As of Friday, September 11th, the XIX Convention costs stood at $53,828.25. By the time final. tabulations are made some weeks hence, this figure is expected to come close to $60,000. This seems to be pretty high. Each convention costs a little more than the previous one. Perhaps, however, the newly-created three-man Operations and Analysis Committee can come up with some ways and means, of reducing this figure and this trend.

VESTNiK The second installment of the SPJST By-Laws, as adopted by the XIX General Convention, appear in this week's Czech section. There will be one more inntallment. Very soon, the English version of our by-laws will be published. Bro. Frank B. Steiner has done a fine job of translating the new by-laws into Czech. It is not always easy. Words cannot always be tran slated literally from one language to another, and Czech is no exception. W ords have many meanings and -shadings," and one must be careful to capture the right meaning and even intention of a word or phrase. Bro. Steiner has done that. His has been a thankless task -- a very necessary and vital one.

MICEKS RETURN FROM TOUR Mr. and Mrs. Charles Micek of Yoakum returned home recently after having taken a six-week tour through the South and Southwest.

They traveled with their new 18-ft. self contained house trailer which is specially built allowing for use of a wheel chair and also features a power lift to the entrance. It was equipped in this manner due to Mrs. Micek's handicapped condition.

Living and resting in their "home on wheels" while taking sidetrips from the many towns and cities in which they stopped, they spent three weeks in Florida and enjoyed seeing Florida's varied and wonderful attractions.

There were many beautiful flower gardens, tropical plants, and trees and birds of all kinds. It was all a beautiful sight to see, even just sightseeing along the highway of the scenic state where there were orange groves, pine trees farms and of course many lakes and beaches along the coast.

They also spent several days at Warm Springs, Ga., and saw Roosevelt's "Little White House," an attraction worth seeing. They also visited Georgia's Warm Springs Foundation where Mrs. Micek had spent 8 months as a polio patient in 1945.

Micek says he's been reading the Vestnik over 52 years. He was 70 years young this past January. He joined SPJST Lodge No. 63 at Sweet Home, and has been a "gold star" member over two years. He is a first cousin to the late Dr. Micek of the U. of Texas.

Mrs. Micek is the former Lucille PulEditor). krabek of Taylor.

I was too nervous!

I agree with Bro. Morris that the only thing lacking in the District VII YAD was more participation from more of the lodges in the district. Many more could have been represented. Next year, we will be looking for YOU. Fraternally, Maxine PaViiska, Dist. 7 Youth Director SPJST

We believe that most of our structural problems have been solved and we may start quite soon. Our drive for new members has been quite successful. Just last week we accepted 0 new members, which is the largest number to join in a long time — and this is only for one month. The interest of the public; in our club has been most gratifying which can also be shown by the increase of invitations we get to participate in numerous public affairs.

Dear Friends, Lodge 88 had its meeting on Friday, Sept. 12th. Pres. Tim Kostom called the meeting to order, and after our Pledge of Allegiance, Secretary F. A.

IV, Al Haas, Stella Miesch, Fred. Sommers, Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Tobola, and Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Zalesak.

We are happy to have you in our lodge.

In the absence of Pres. Estelle Kelly of the Birthday Club Sisters, Dell Kadlecek made a good report on the various activities of these hard-working sisters, who accomplish so much and help our lodge in. many ways. They have become famous for their kolaches.

Rudy Zatopek and John Kadlecek helped them on their baking day.

Jerry Pokorny gave a report on the Dramatic Club and their Czech plays.

John Schroif also spoke , for the Dramatic Club and asked for more participants in these plays. Our Dramatic Club is the only active Czech club in Texas. Jerry. Ennis also made a plea for more people to show up for this important activity.

Chairman Harley Cox told about the dances we have — having a good orchestra every Saturday night. He announced that on Oct. 3rd we have the famous Bay City Dutchmen playing for our dance and preceding this dance there will be a fried chicken supper.

This will be extra good fried chicken with all the trimmings made by our Sister Anie Vala and her helpers.

Serving will be from 5 on, so mark Saturday, Oct. 3rd, on your calendar and come to Lodge 88 for a good supper and dance!

District Youth Director Maxine Sefcik told about the State Talent Contest at Holland on Sept. 20, and the lodge chartering a bus for this trip.

She reminded us about the District V meeting being at Needville on Nov. 1.

Then she told about the coming wedding of our past Miss SPJST of Texas,

24 Sandra Watson of Beaumont, on Sept.

Three beautiful ,flags -- the American, Texas, and Czechoslovak flags — were presented to the lodge. These flags were purchased by the Birthday Club Sisters!

Lillian Kruse gave a report on the donation tickets and urged all members to work harder. Here I would like to mention an outstanding salesman, Emil Hcrelica, who has done a tremendous job in sating these!

Chairman Birdie Hilsher of the Souvenir Booklet Committee told how diligently they were working. All members and friends interested in obtaining space or recognition in this booklet, please get in touch with Birdie (UN 1-7C83 cr 1215 Heights Blvd.) before Oct. 5th, for nothing will be accepted after that date. Letters have been sent out to members; please don't overlook this, for I think you will regret it if you do. This booklet will contain at least 50 pages and 10,000 copies of it will be made, so you can see it will be treasured by many all over Texas, and in many parts of our country.

Emil Horelica, another member of this committee, told about the memorial section of the booMet. In this section you can remember your loved ones in any size space you wish to purchase, or you can just list their name for $2.

After the meeting delicious refreshments were served and enjoyed by all. Ernest Hanka. and John Hilsher donated the beverages in honor of their wives'

VtSTNig birthdays; Pearl and Tolita are two sisters who have birthdays on the same date, but they are not twins!

Something I forgot to mention in my previous letters is that Bishop Markovsky has appointed Birdie 'Usher to form a Czech choir for the Galveston-Houston Diocese. Their 4 irst performance was at the Holy Gho,t Church in Bellaire, and there will, be more performances of this group of thirty vocalists.

On Sunday afternoon Mildred Kucera and Helen Pavlas, daughters of Annie and Emil Vala, were given a stork shower at the lodge, hall. Quite a number of guests enjoyed this, and both honorees received many gifts.

We all had a wonderful time at the Johnny Hcilub Dance at our hall. Birdie Hilsher donated two beautiful gifts, and these were won by Oleta Hanus and me. Frances Kadlecek won free dance tickets. Many thanks, Birdie!

This Saturday we have Rudy Kurtz of Shiner playing for our lodge dance.

Come and bring your frienel q : we would love to have you!

LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Fellow Members of Ledge 88: Colorful and informative brochures are now coming off the presses. By the time you are reading this they may have already been pat in your mail boxes. If they haven't been, they soon will be.

These brochures are the material that you wi'l find so helpful as you assist your lodge in its big membership drive.

It will take every bit of your help to put this important membership drive over. This is the finest opportunity you have ever had to talk to those whom you would like to see become your fellow members in Lodge 88. These brochures are interesting and attractive.

The story that they tell is unforgettable, For the first time you wiiil have something in your hands that you can show your relatives, in-laws, and friends that will snake it easy to explain what the SPJST and Lodge 88 really is. It demonstrates the services that the SPJST and Lodge 88 renders to its members and which it will render in the future.

This material is fresh and impressive. It will help us find a solution to our problem — our pressing problem — the problem of increasing our membership. Most of us are familiar with the reasons why we must increase our

Wednesday, September 23, 1994 membership — why we must increase it IN A BIG WAY.. We also know that we want . the increased membership to consist •of persons we will want to associate with for the rest of our lives.

That is why we serve our aims and purposes best if we bring in new members selected by all OUT members. Only in that way will we know that all the new members will be satisfactory to our present members.

To make this plan work, select those persons that you can personally recommend wholeheartedly. Introduce those individuals to any one of the lodge organizers 'for a preliminary interview, or furnish full information about the prospect to the organizer so that the the prospect can be contacted successfully.

In those cases where present members are reluctant to approach any one organizer, the information can be turned over to the Lodge Organizers' Secretary on the telephone at OVerland 6-9061. The information will then be given to lodge organizers on an impartial basis. A rotation system of assigning leads to organizers who follow up on them is being used. In this way every organizer gets to do his share of the work that Lodge 88 expects of its t,ife insurance representatives.

Pitch in and do all you can to help Lodge 88 succeed in its big membership drive. It is very important that substantial numbers of new' members are obtained. Getting new members for your lodge by November 15th is an easy thing to do when you have a helpful tool such as the new Lodge Organizer's Brochure. Put it to good effective use and help your lodge. Let me- wish you the best of luck in 'your efforts to do your part in this big job.

Fraternally, Tim S. Kostom, President, Lodge 88 LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON We need an additional $70,000.00. We must have it to complete payment for the many extras needed in addition to the new bare building. The building alone will be very nice. It will be cornfortable and enjoyable. However, most members will prefer to set in chairs and at tables. Cooking is done better on modern stoves than on portable barbecue pits. The bars will be more serviceable if they are equipped to serve the membership instead of being bare.

WE NEED YOUR CASH. WE NEED YOUR CERTIFICATES. You can get

Wednesday, September 23, 1964 either of these returned to You whenever you want them back. We pay you 5 per cent interest for the cash you loan us.We pay interest to the Supreme Lodge on the cash we borrow on the certificates you loan us.

Contrihutions to our Lodge Memorial Fund and donations to our Building Fund have been very helpful. Following is an accounting since the last published in July: Building Fund Bro. R. E.

We sincerely thank the gra cious donors on their behalf.

Fraternally, Jarda Cerny, Financial Secretary, Board of Trustees, Lodge 88 CZECH DAY AT DALLAS, OCT. 11 Dear Friends, These few lines are an appeal to you to come to Dallas for the annual Czech Festival on October 11th. Those of you who have a Czech costume or "kroj" please put it on and come to Dallas for the festival. And those of

VESTNfK you who don't have a kroj and would like one - well, it's fairly easy to make. Through the kindness of Miss Helen Krutilek we now have on hand patterns for the blouse and vest which we will gladly cut for you so you can make it yourself. Mrs. Josie Kankrlik has the patterns and will give a copy of them to anyone desiring them, as I will be out of town for two weeks. I have found that the best place to go shopping for materials for the costume is fabric outlet shops such as Hanceck's Fabric Outlet or Dallas Fabrics, Leo Moses, and Haley's (the last three. are downtown). Hancock's have all the satins, brocades, velvets, braids of all ,kinds, laces and white broadcloth 'or organdy for the costumes.

According to Mrs. Bertha Podradsky the material for a nice costume would run from $10 to $15, according to the materials used. Mrs. Podradsky would be glad to advise anyone making a Czech costume or would, on request, make one for interested parties. For the blouse get white broadcloth because it holds starch very good and the sieves would stand up very well even in the heat we have in Texas. For the vest black velvet (or maroon velvet) with gold braid and the skirt of red or blue with vari-colored braid all around, You should wear black lowheeled pumps. It is not permissable to go barelegged or wear the so-called "flats." To do so (as was done by some young people last, year) would ruin the whole effect of an otherwise lovelY costume. Choose materials carefully and as nearly alike as the original you are following and choose trimmings so they won't be gaudy. Remember, the Czech costume is more than just a few articles of clothing. It represents the ancient battle of the Czech people for their freedom, the courage, bravery and self-sacrifice of our ancestors.

Wear your costume with pride but with dignity and in doing so you will honor the memory of those who have gone on before us. The first Czech immigrants never forgot their native land, they loved and treasured all keepsakes and mementos of their former home-- even the Czech costumes of their ancestors, because of what they represented. So we, their descendants, should not forget either. Let's prove to everyone on October 11th that we are proud of our Czech heritage. Let's see to it that Czech Day 1964 will be the best and largest of any we've ever had! On the afternoon program in the.

Band Shell I will introduce to the audience anyone having an original cos-

2S tome or one that was made at home in 1964. So you young people get busy and then notify me before the Czech, Day Festival and tell me your name so I- can introduce you as having fashioned this year's costume.

See you October 11th.
