Jan Cimbura JIHOESKA IDYLA Pokraeovani Po rychtarove pro,ve strane sedel sedlak 6ernoch. Tak jak za stolem sedel, prevyeoval veecky o hlavu. Odpovedel Cimburovi: "To nejde tak eerstva, holeeku, chceme ne vlka, ale oveeku, zit bude s tebou, s tebou jist chaeba proto to nejdfiv vyzkoumat treba; proto jsme tady v parade!

A ty, chcee-li se s nami sousedstvim vazat, odpovez verne, nae se nam zlibi tazat."

A vYslech poeal. Start Hanak optal se struene: "Bez dlouhe reel provodu, taxi se tebe po rodu?"

Cimbura naraz odpovedel stejne scene: "Veem jsem yam roven neni to hana — syn ze Semic, sedlaka Cimbury Jana."

"Cimbury Jana, Cimbury Jana ze dobrY to rod, musime priznat," sborem pochvalovala cela obec. Ale uz hueici zastup prerusil 2dulka. 13y1 to mai*, drobny muMeek, ac hospodar byl velkY — a aby ho vedle ohromneho oernoch a bylo videt, nernluvil v

"Zname uz otce i tvoji matku, ale nic nevime o tvojim statku!"

"Znate snad veichni Piksovic puclu, a tu ja nyni orati budu," odpovedel mu klidne Cimbura a ehtel 11.2 sam dodati o 2ene, detech, o mrtvem priteli, ale zdr2e1 se. Vedel, .2e to otazce neujde. A skuteene uz si Jaroe odkaelaval a zarednil dirverne: "Piksovic dvar? Kdo ho dal tobe?

Tot' dvar je sirY, Piksa je v hrobe, tri deti siroty, vlastni &fir sobe."

Otazka to se libila. Obec ji vdeene prijala a potvrdila souhlaem: "Syni dva, dcerka, tre deti hodnYch, otec — ach — do hrobu odeeel od nich."

A proto neodpovedel Cimbura pause Jaroeovi, ale cele obci dUrazne vykladal: "Piksovi mrtvemu j a stojim ye slovu: oclevzdal dvar mi, deti I vdovu, udelal testament pied sverlky peti a v nem mile odkazal nu i deti."

ptala se obec. Svedci Piksova testamentu citili, e je ted' iada na nich.

Pohledli na sebe a pohledem se dorozumeli, kdo z nich bude mluveim.

Vstal Keclik. Vstal ne z Acty k Cimburovi, ale k obci, proto2e k ni mluvil. Poeoupl si eepici trochu do tYla a pravici poekrabal se za uchem, jak mival ye zvyku, kdy2 usilovne na neco take paeal: myslil — a

a

"Odka.zal, pravim vam, odkazal pied 2enou, decky; slibem pak vernym si zavazal k evedectvi veecky: Cimburo, hospodat na statku techto deti, do nejstareiho syna pinoleti — ten pak, po starem tadu vhodnem, vladni sam na svem statku rodnem."

Odpoved' yeecky rapine' uspokojila a napjali pozornost, co se opta, Mika. Na, torn ted' byla tada. Mika etverak, yeselY elovek, rad v fedi chytal, dobiral si a proto rekl nevinnYm hlasem: "NO si obec bratrstvi s tebou vymen', pftvod nam vylog sveho plijmeni."

Roueek se zachmoutil. Pod svra gtelYm delem zvedla se karna myglenka: "To sem nepatti buena jako jmeno," a IA sahal po pravu velebnYm gestem, jako kral po *2ezle.

Ale Cimbura svi2no a chute odpovedel: "Ve valkach to bylo, ktere i2ka ved', kikalt tak otec müj i ded jeden z ptedkil pokryt ranami a krvi, na cimbuti hradu vygplhal se prvY. Telo jeho davno v hrobe shnilo, ale ptijrni po nem Cimbura nam zbylo."

"Ach, pane, ten je kovanY." — "Temó Kovanclovu gkolu!"

"Na vgecky etyti a pekne na, ostro ho okoval," chvalila zase obec a hlasite to Cimburovu pohotovost. Cimbura sam znova a ivè pocitil synkovskou vdeenost jak k otci, tak ke bradi gt'skemu starostovi, e ho po cela leta byli zasvecovali do selskYch zvyku a mravt. Mika 'sklopil hlavu, ale za to ii zdvihl Kolatik hlava ptisnYch valna, skoro asketicka.... Kolatik byl na osade kostelnikem, vildcem pouti a zpevakem. Hlasem vy gettujiciho p. souddce aspolu kazatele udefil na Cimburu:

"Piksa je v hrobe. V gichni tarn jednou spodinem, jsi statku panem, mOem vdovy a deti oteinem, neptain se, zda je psano na bilem papite, po jinem ptam se, ptam se te po vite!"

Obee cela ztichla, ani nedutala. Muku slyeig, jak si bzuel po ceste od stolu k oknu. Cimbura tady stoji jako socha. Zvolna zvedl hlavu a s hlavou i rozzatene oei zvhiltu ke stropu, citevenemu, hnedemu, bei krvi nattenemu, smerem k "obrazkfun", visielm v koute pod sa,mYm stropem. Pak na prsa vznesl i svoji hebkou eapku a pod ni sepjal pevne ruce. Nepromluvil dosud — a hle pli pouhem pohledu na neho i "fitad" za prostkenym solem I sedlact za ostatnimi stoly, i chalupnici a bardenici kolem neho vstavajice, sundavaji beranieky a spinaji ruce jako ye chramu.

"Ja v Boha vetim, sveta Hospodate a knemu zvedam ruce sve i tvate: zakony Jeho nieim nechci matit, ale k Jeho cti tu s vami hospodatit."

Vroucne, pravdive a piece proste znelo to Cimburovo vyznani viry Podmanilo veecky a dojalo je. 2enske i oet utiraly.

"Amen", slaynostne tekl rychtaf a vyeel s pravem v ruce ze zastoli. PHstoupil k Cimburovi, ujal ho za ruku a polaiv mu ruku s "pravern" na rameno, tkikrat se s nine polibil. u neho.

"Kdo by na nem shledal hany nebo vady, do °di to povez, smele vystup z eady, jak se sluei na /auk.'

"Nikdo proti tobe nerreade," fekl koneene rychtat a dodal z y enYm, obtadnYm hlasem: tim "Cimburo Jene! Jsi hotov se souCimbura Jan se stal naeim sousedem."

Za ruku Cimburu ujal a vedl ho na okraj lavice j ako nejmladeiho.

Ne pYcha, ale u glechtile sebevedomi zrovna salalo zase z cele postavy Cimburovy, z jeho tvati i z jeho oei. A tata uvedomela hrdost vzna gela se i nad celou obci nad starostou a vYbory. I deti i 2eny podlehaly kou-

Ale to bylo pouze prvnl jednani u konce. Kdy Z . se gum utieil a kolem Cimbury Id bylo prazdno, poealo hued jedndni dalei. To Id nebylo tak obtadne, protole se v nem jednalo o prakticke Véci. Venku se dab do degte, se sttech creela voda do okapa a smrakalo se.

Rychtat plejel si dlanl fista, odkaelal a v tenke, evabachem popsand kniZeece obratil list. Pouze obeas do ni mrkl a skoro stale mluvil spamet: "PutimskY sousede, bratie nag, Jene Cimburo! Musi g nam v obci ve veem bYt roven, mit s nami stejna playa a zejmena nest s na.mi stejna, btemena.”

"Ktera budou moje prava?" optal se novY soused.

Rychtaf nyni za peeliveho pozoru veech plednesl selsky lad, skoro stejnY Ve yee'ch jihoeeskYch. vesnicich.

TYkal se prava pastvy a zavazoval Cimburu do spoleeneho stada vyhdnet "pastevni dobytek", kravy, ovce, veple a husy na prvni sluhovo zatroubeni na vreku pod kostelem. Dobytek vyhani se pled vrata, kde ho slouha odebird. "Mae pravo spoleeneho lovu v obecnich vodach a spoleeneho lomu na veech skalach. V nezavinenem neetesti povodni, poMru mag pray() na noel pomoc. Ma g pla ya do obce mluvit — volit a bYt volen; ma g zkratka veecka prava, kterYch bude g a jsi hoden."

Hrde hnula se ted' yearn sousedtim hrud' pli tom podrobnem vYetu. Ale ted' Id se ptikreili, kdy2 se rychtattiv hlas odmleel. Vedeli, co ptijde. Blemena! A proto klopili hiavy, jako by tYle citili "A take blemena na sebe beru?" kuradne otazal se Cimbura.

'Take o tech mluvi ease selske znei," odpovedel Roueek a uvadel je.

"Cisatske dane, kralovske zemske berne, ptira gky obecni a vgecky platy v potadku davat," stalo hued na prvnim miste. "Svou vlastni ptidu dedinnou

Dosud sedeli vtichni prihrbene, ale hned se zase narovnali, jak padla otazka: "Jene Cirnburo, ptam se to pled Bohem a pied obci, slibujet to?"

"Slibuju," odpovedel Cimbura. Vstal phi torn a eepiici polozil, ke sedel. Po nevi tak ucinili i ostatni.

"Tak pied Bohem nam phisahni —" skoro hrozivYm. hlaem poroueel rychtah.

Cimbura pokroeil k samemu stolu.

Levici polozil na srdce a thi prsty pozdvihl vzhilru. V dobuyYch svicnech plaly svieky, jako zkamenela, stala "obec", nad hlavou starosty v koute eernal se start' Rychtak vazal si rychle za utima pentlieka kostenYch brYli, vzal do chvejicich se rukou kni2ku a zvolna Ceti a Cimbura slovo za slovem zhetelne opakoval: "Jal, sedlak putimskY, Cimbura Jan co drZim petadvacaty lan, jak vy chcete a ja mohu, phisaham to Panu Bohu, po prve i naposledy: he chci Ziti se sousedy v pokoji a svornosti, orat svoje polnosti, sazet les a hnojit luka, s obci gtesti nest i muka, ye 2nich chodit ponficken, spoleena mit zejmena v obci prava, bhemena — Z dobre yule — sam a sam pled obci tak phisaham ph spase myth phedkil duti; jak se na sedlaka Jsem a budu celY vat — k tomu dopomahej Pan Buh nat."

Pomala a blasite eet1 rychtah, pomalu a hlasite phisahal Cimbura.

"Odphisahl," potvrdila sborem obec, kdy2 Roueek sklapl kniZku a stahl sve brejie s nosu. Sum jako vitr po napjatem tichu ozval se hospodou. To prsa si oddychla, nohy na podlaze phetlaply, stolice zavrzaly — a obec si znovu usedia. 1-11avy sedlaci pokryli eepicemi a z kapes vytahovali dymky, ko'Zen:6 vaeky s tabakern a khesanim. Zase jedno jednani se skoneilo a ted' uZ zbYvadlo posledni. Vtichni myslili, ze to bude asi takto: Cimbura, posledni pokryv hlavu, stoje u stolu, hekne

VESTN fK hie furiantsky, jak se sluti na celoldnika: "Senkyti, pivo sena, davam sud, sad piva stareho a dobreho."

A rychtah vstane a kekne: "Dekujeme za poctu; ale abys vedel, jaka je Putim obec i my davame tobe na privitanou sud."

Cimbura se ohledne a zavold: ‘‘8enkSril dye niitky vezmete a na statek k Piksiim potlete, chleba z vyra2e, masio ze slaclke smetany a kminove homolky pro chut' k pivu phineste."

Ale chyba lavky! Phepoeitali se! Co to Cimbura povida! Svemu slachu nejako chce obec vehit. Kdekdo ztrnul Usta otevfend — &el rozomrdeeny tihene prsty na viCkach zakoutenYch dtevenek; tak hledeli v nemem faasu na noveho souseda. Ten vedel, ze zpUsobi poplach, ale phece poslechl sveho otcovskeho phitele a promluvil, jak mu radii: "Na phivitanou do obce nee° dat se sluk — vysazim proto deset ttepil a deset hruti.

Ureete, sousedi, ureete cestu, ja bych vam radii vozovku k natemu mestu."

Jen dopovedel, a jako kdyZ ho pichne, vyletel prvni se sveho mista sedlak Klasek. Ani slova aZ dosud do jednalni nepromluvil, seal a zaryte mleel aZ se vtichni divili. Znali Klaska.

"Je to jedovatY elovek, jako zisr pes, kdyZ se podiva, uhrane, kdyZ promluvi, kousne." Je znamYm pytlakem lesnim i rybnim, je prudkY a vznetlivY jako sthelny prach a nefistupnY jako cele to jejich pokoleni V obci vklycky odporuje, kfiei a hada, se a nejednou musil ho 6ernoch vehejne zkrotit....

"Chcet zavest v obci nave mody?

Na pivo nemalt? SenkYfi, nalej mu vody!" s posupnYna smichem kfieel Klasek a obec se smala — a smichem uz jine hlasy pronikaly — vtecky zlostne a karave.

"Cizak, stare mravy ruti," kfieell chalupnici.

"Bo cizak telem i dull."

"Stare pohadky na ruby yeti."

"Elheti — hheti," bouhila hospoda uraZena, popuzena. a Rah sam vi, k jakYm koncum bylo by dotlo, kdyby byl rovaZny rychtat dovolil bouhi se rozpoutat.

Ale tenv stal — udehly na stuff "pra,vem" zjednal si ticho a keki mirnym hlasem: "Nejednej, Cimburo, proti selskemu hadu, nesej dnes nesvar, nesej dnes vadu,

zasedni s nami k jednomu stolu.

I stoly nastehovaly se k lavichn, zaZehil svieky — a Srnkova vytahovala Cimburovic mladknee z nuse pecny chleba, velike jako koleeko od pluhu a vysoke, ze je nut nenakrojil. I Mute maslo i bile homolky pfinesla stark deveeka.

Kostelnik Kolatik potichu vygel yen a pa chvili vpadly sem, zvuky veeerMho klekani pootevknYmi okny. Starosta s obci pomodlil se spoleene a hiasite pozdraveni andelske. V gem se zdalo, ze hlas zvonu "Vavkince" zni dnes velebneji a slavinostneji nez jindy.

A kdy2 umlki zvon, jako roj Wel sedicich na medovYch plastech spokojene rozebzueela se obec. Pojidali, popijeli, pokukvali a vtipem, smichem valnou IT& jako soli zase • kofenili si zabavu.

Je slugno, aby Cimbura "obec" poznal — ale neslugno je, aby elovek sam svymi tiny se chlubil. Proto podal Oernoch rozva'ine a moudfe rozvinovat charakteristiku putimskYch sousedfi. "Nechlubime se — toto! Ale my Putimaci — nejsme jen ledabyll hde. Kovanda v HradiSti je moudrSi elovek, ale s nakm rychtahem rovnat se nemfde."

"To nemilae," hrde svedcili ygichni.

Rychtah je strell do kapsy, doma je proktl, vyfidil, podepsal, peeet' prirazil na to a o trhu zas je vzal do Pisku s sebou. V Pisku potkal se s panem purkmistrem. Podali ruce a jdou podle Uhadu.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER

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

Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

NiK —HERALD-

OF THE STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 1897

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. Box 100, TEMPLE, TEX.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK WE HAVE A NEW STATE YOUTH DIRECTOR In the final quarterly meeting of the year of the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, Bro. Jim Kucera of Lodge 56 (Anton Cermak) was elected State Youth Director of the SPJST. Bro. Kucera will assume his duties in Temple on November 1st, according to the mandate of the XIX Convention this past summer. As the membership now knows, the last convention created this new post and required that whoever was elected to the position by the Supreme Led g e would assume the duties on November 1st so as to have his or her plan ready to be effected by January 1st, 1965. The two months' interim period will give Bro. Kucera. time to formulate his plans of action and have something concrete to go on by the first of the year.

Bro. Kucera is 70 years old. Don't let that mislead you. He is in excellent phyAcal shape as a result of being a lifelong Sokol worker and trainer. He will give the youngsters "their money's worth." They'll have to go some to keep up with him. He has been working with the youth, both in Sokol and SPJST projects, and they eagerly cooperate with him. His projects with the youth have always met with a good measure of success. His achievements have brought distinction to both organizations. Corpus Christi and Lodge 56 will lose a devoted and tireless worker; the whole SPJST will gain one.

Bro. Kucera has been in fraternal work his entire life. He has taught young people how to sing, dance Czech dances, including the Beseda, put on plays, and all the other things that go with buy lodge activities. He understands our Czech-Americans, and also knows of the desires, likes and dislikes of our young people. Even though the path that Bro. Kucera will now have to travel might, at times, be a bit uncertain in the coming months,

QUOTATIONS . . .

Since men are social by nature they are meant to live with others and to work for one another's welfare.

—Pope John XXIII Rebellion in itself is not necessarily bad; we are a nation founded upon rebellion. But rebellion has its virtue if the cause justifies it. Rebellion for the sake of rebellion is senseless .. .

—Dale Francis • The reason people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like work.

—Thomas A. Edison We must ourselves believe the things we tell our children.

—Unknown Nobody ever listened himself out of a job.

—Calvin Coolidge we must have confidence in him that he will do the very best that he can for the Order. We welcome him, then, into our closer circle: let us extend to him our helping hand. Let us cooperate with him; let us be patient with his efforts and, remember that only with our complete cooperation can he do the best job possible. Bro. Kucera, we will help you! We with you success, and may our youth feel the results of your efforts.

• • Lodge Praha No. 29 ! near Taylor held its 65th Anniversary celebration and special memorial services on October 4th. The most impressive part of the afternoon's activities was the memorial service , itself, conducted by Supreme Lodge SecrOtary, Bro. Raymond A. Urbanovsky. This service focused attention on the deceased members of Lodge 29, and at the same time, honored the over-50-year members of the lodge. There were fifteen such members present. (See accompanying pictures), the two oldest being (if my information is correct) Brothers Lesikar

and Mohcl. These memorial services were simple, brief, but quite impressive.

They must have stirred memories of the "old timers," whose minds flashed back 50 or more years to the early beginnings of the lodge. (Lodge Praha was organized in 1899). It occurred to me that such memorial services should be conducted more often and in more lodges around the state. As someone put it: if you're not going to take time to honor your deceased members and the oldest living ones, then what is there to honor? We must do this. They deserve it. We would have nothing to build upon, to improve upon today, if it were not for the groundwork laid by our older members, Flowers and spoken condolences over graves are fitting and most proper, but it is just as fitting and proper that we pay tribute to them while they are still among us, so that they may be living eyewitnesses to the respect paid them. Therefore, the officers and worker, of Lodge Praha, and all lodges which conduct similar rituals, are to be commended for carrying out this manifestation of brotherly action.

The Texas Fraternal Congress meets in Galveston on October 22-23rd. Our SPJST belongs to the TFC and supports it. Its work is in the interest of us all. Its work does not always make headlines, but it works continuously for the mutual benefit of us all. We should become acquainted with its efforts, particularly in the field of opposing legislative action that would tax fraternal organizations, something that concerns us directly. In unity there is strength, and we must stick together in this task. At the same time, we must remain FRATERNAL; let us not stray from this main principle. If you can visit the sessions of the TFC, you should do so. at concerns us mightily.

• • Just a little over two months remain for the SPJST to fulfill its insurance

Wednesday, October 14, 1964 quota for 1964. Normally, considering the coming seasonal holidays, one might think this to be a slack season for insurance sales, but it might also be an excellent time of the year to boost them. Just as people sometimes give government savings bonds for Christmas, so should we also consider buying an SPJST life insurance policy for someone you hold dear. It may not be the most glamorous thing you can place under the Yule tree, but it may be the BEST one. It represents LOVE for those you do love. You may not be here next Christmas to give anything.

A sound SPJST policy will be, however, and it doesn't chip, peel, or crack like the more tangible things we put under the tree. It also won't wind up in the closet corner to be picked up by the junk collector before the spring thaws. This Christmas, care enough to give the very best. Call or see your local organizer. Be Santa Claus the year 'round.

----SPJSTNATIONAL FRATERNAL CONGRESS

More than 500 delegates, representing fraternal benefit life insurance societies in the United States and Canada, attended the 78th annual convention of the National Fraternal Congress of America in Seattle, Wash., September 27-30.

SPJST officers who participated were President, Edward L. Marek and Vice President, Joe B. .Hejny. Brother Hejny represented the Texas Fraternal Congress as a delegate. He was elected a member of the Executive Board of the State Congresses Section.

Presiding over the convention as president was Mr. Joseph H. Sudimach, Pittsburgh, Pa., Treasurer of the Greek Catholic Union of the United States.

At the convention's close, officers for the ensuing year were elected and installed. Frank H. Lee, Port Huron, Michigan, General Counsel of the Women's Benefit Association, assumed the presidency. Elected vice president was Louise Patrick, Omaha, Nebraska, National Secretary of the Supreme Forest Woodmen Circle. Foster F. Farrell, Chicago, Illinois, was reelected Secretary-Treasurer.

The National Fraternal Congress of America was organized in 1886 in Washington, D.C., by representatives of 16 fraternal benefit societies. Today it represents 100 societies having nearly 10 million members in 65,958 local lodges.

Major purposes of the congress include the promotion of the general welfare of the fraternal benefit system in all matters of mutual concern and public interest. It was also established to disseminate information to the general public regarding the fraternal benefits system, to render service to member societies in general,

13

and to lend assistance to all fraternal benefit societies.

At the annual conventions, problems peculiar to procedures and the system in general are discussed and solutions sought. To this forum the various officers of the societies bring their ideas for the betterment of the individual society and the system as a whole. A free interchange of ideas and methods is conducted. The meetings are held not only to benefit each society and the system, but also to give careful attention to public interest and general acceptance.

At the beginning of 1964, societies affiliated with the NFCA had nearly 14 billion dollars of fraternal insurance in force, owned by the members. Assets of the societies totaled $3,550,015,154 and the benefits paid in 1963 alone totaled $233,602,360. All together, these societies have paid more than nine billion dollars in benefits to their members.

LODGE NO. 81, NEEDVILLE Hello all you youth members!

This is your youth leader of Lodge 81 Needville. As you all know, we are going to be host to the District V fall meeting on November 1st, 1964 at the American Legion Hall at Needville, which is only about ten miles from Rosenberg. There will be a youth program that evening around 2, and I am asking the youngsters to please come out and do a number, dance, speech, poem, act or anything that you would like to show us. We will have some talent from other lodges to make this day a success. It will take a little effort from each one of us as we all know.

That's how the SRTST got where it is today, because everybody gave a little effort.

So come on out you kiddos, and show us what youth really stands for. There will be music in the evening and dancing at night. So be sure and bring a friend; you may find that they like it, also.

Evelyn Christ, Youth Leader -SPJSTLODGE NO. 66, WACO

Dear Sisters and Brothers: Our regular meeting was held last Sunday. The attendance was not !,.arge but still there were plenty of us to make it an interesting meeting.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by three young girls, then the minutes Were read by Brother Cocek and were approved as read.

A moment of silnece was held in behalf of SiSter Mary Hutyra who died at the age of 79 years on Sept. 26th.

Rosary was recited at the Kotch Funeral Chapel in West on Friday, Sept.

25th. She was buried in the Fatima Cemetery in Abbott. Father W. Pechal officiated.

Sister Hutyra was admitted to the SPJST on August 23rd, 1932, Laparita Lodge No. 78, Atascosa County, later transferring to our lodge.

Surviving are her husband; one daughter, Mrs. Mary Davidson of Dallas; two sons, Charles Gerza of San Antonio, and Otto Hutyra of Dallas; three sisters, Mrs. Annie Jakubik of Karnes City, Mrs. Julie Moore of Calvert, and Mrs. Betty Curik of Taylor; eleven grandchildren.

Sister Hutyra was an active member in her younger days.

May she rest in peace.

On the sick list Brother Joe Srubar was mentioned. He was operated on but is now recuperating at his home.

We wish you a speedy recovery.

I read in this week's Vestnik where Sister Estelle March was in Hillsboro Clinic, but is now at home. Sister Esteitie, I am sorry to say that I did not know that you were sick. Herewith I personally hope you will continue to improve and feel fine. Also Mr. Jerry Kocurek was in the Grant-Buie Hospital in Hillsboro but is now at home.

One item that was brought up in the meeting was that there were several people who wanted to buy some acreage, and others who wanted to leae some acreage from our SPJST parking lots on the north side of the bait Neither passed since the members opposed both plans.

It was mentioned in the meeting that our SPJST Hall No. 54 has been completely remodeled inside, and has an entirely new heating system installed for your comfort. The hall is now available for private parties, wedding dances, anniversaries, reunions, and various occasions. Reasonable revised rates. For such occasions contact Bro. August Pustejovsky, Bro.

If you missed the dance when the Bay City Dutchmen of Corpus Christi played, you really missed it! Over 250 dancers enjoyed the music so much that they are ;hoping we have the Dutchmen often, and I agree! They are really very good musicians, and the way they perform adds to your enjoyment. It surely was gratifying to hear all the nice comments about the band and to see so many enjoying themselves! Mrs. Celestine Darilek, Mrs. Harry Minim, and Mr. Frank Tilich were the lucky ones to get free. dance tickets. Our thanks go to all of you who brought a group of your

friends to the dance and also to the supper — to mention, a few: Mrs. Wm. Holicek, Mrs. Daniel Zissa, Mrs. Rosa Lee Ruland, Alfred Hilsher, Jimmie Brosch (I wish I could name you all!).

Our lodge Glee Club went to the Church Festival at Frydek, and their beautiful singing was enjoyed by so many. We are hoping to see some of you Frydek people at our Czech play.

Chairman Harley Cox and Frankie Sembera will make the barbecue, and you know it will be good. Sister Annie Vala and her helpers will have charge of the rest, and what these good cooks make is always good. Serving will start at noon and continue through the day. The play "Nevesty z Ceskeho Raje" (Brides from the Bohemian Paradise) is a three-act comedy and one I know you will enjoy.

Curtain goes up at 3:30. We promise you good food and a good play, so won't you come to Lodge 88 this Sunday?

Don't forget our dance this Saturday, Oct. 17, when the Randy K Orchestra of Weimar will furnish the good music. We would love to have you and your friends!

Thanks to the choral group from Lodge 66 of Waco under the direction of Brother Nick Morris for the wonderful singing. The big applause you got showed how well it was enjoyed.

I would also like to thank my fellow-members here at Lodge 80 for helping prepare the food and for all the other help that was necessary for such an occasion.

Cultural Notes "SO BRITTLE THE SWORD — SO TENDER THE HEART" IS AN UNUSUAL AND MOVING EXPERIENCE SPICED WITH SUSPENSE AND GOOD ACTING A richly endowed drama that is also richly rewarding.

CSA Drama Club of Illinois is proud to present another original Czech play March 21st. Drama Club, author-director and actors form a felicitous combination, each performing with distinction.

An absorbing play of rare content and even rarer maturity will have its premiere on Mlarch 21st, 1965, at the Sokol Havlicek-Tyrs Hall, 26th Street and Lawndale Ave., Chicago, Illinois.

The title is "So Brittle The Sword, So Tender The Heart," and will be produced by the Drama Club of the Czechoslo vak Society of America, a non-profit group of Thespians which meet at the CSA Building, Lombard Avenue and Cermak Road, Cicero, Ill. The drama crackles with tension, and is vibrant and immensely absorbing, the best play Jerry F. Chmelicek has yet written. The characters which have been created have challenging substantiality and is rich in language and meaning.

The play revolves around the Civil War and will be given in connection with the Civil War Centennial celebrations being staged all over the country. It starts at the very beginning when the South and the North waltzed into war amidst a frenzy of enthusiasm that has never been equaled since. The towns, villages and hamlets went almost crazy with joy and patriotism, troops marched out with flowers garlanding their horses, gun carriages, and bajonets, the bands played, children sang, church bells pealed and girls showered kisses on the departing heroes.

Everyone thought it was going to be one short glorious adventure, with, the boys home and victorious before the leaves fell. The almost religious fervor even survived the first weeks of hideous reality. But after the first battle or two, the mirage had collapsed and most of the glorious dreams had done the same. What was left was only a grim and bitter determination to stick it out, with the end suddenly magnified in proportions.

The members of the carefully selected cast promise to give a powerful per-

V E STN f K formance. There is passion, heroism, tragedy and sacrifice, all woven into a play that leaves nothing ambiguous.

The play has a deep significance. It not only sheds an extra ray of light on the manner in which the war began; it inevitably marks the point at which our attention is compelled to shift from the few who started the war to the many who had to do the fighting.

Beyond the powder smoke that went drifting off to sea from the sands of Morris Island on the morning of January 9 we can see, dimly but with terrible certainty, the ranks of the 600,000 young men who were going to die in the four years that lay ahead. On January 9, not one of these men knew that he was going to die. Probably all but the merest handful did not really believe that a war was coming. Hardly any of them had had any part whatsoever in bringing the war about. But they were doomed. Their shadowy ranks began to form in the hour when the echoes of those Morris Island guns died away.

Those men, the people at home who mourned them, and the others who would go off to war with them and who would somehow survive, are the real reason why we today find the events of the Civil War Centennial worth commemorating.

We at e not, after all, looking back at a pageant, or at a swords-and-roses romance, or at an interesting but remote chapter in our history. We are looking back at a human tragedy — at a vast, mixed army of young Americans who were unexpectedly confronted with a challenge and who responded to it with a valor and a fidelity which still command our admiration.

It is, to :repeat, a tragic story, the ,great enduring tragedy of our American experience. Yet there is one thing to bear in mind about great tragedy, in the classic sense. Contemplating it does not leave one with a feeling that life is futile and meaningless. No man arises from "Hamlet," or "King Lear," with a depression of spirit. Instead, it is precisely through great tragedy that we get our deepest understanding of the inner meaning of life; our realization that there is in the human spirit something that is unconquerable, indomitable, deathless.

For these men who died in our homemade, homespun war proved something for us. They proved that our American manhood is as good as the old legends say it is. They proved that the average man has within himself

25 the resources to meet the worst fate can bring to him. The greatest of tragic poets once wrote, broodingly, that the readiness is all. Those young southerners and northerners in the 1860's had that God-given readiness.

They met the challenge their times gave them, and met it in a way that renews our confidence in our country and in the human race itself.

Tickets are priced at only $1.00 and may be ordered by writing to the CSA Drama Club, c/o the CSA Office, 2138 South 61st St. Cicero, Illinois, enclosing check, or money order, or cash.

The play will be given in Czech for its initial performance, and a translation in English later on.

Officers of the CSA Drama Club are as follows: President, Marie Bohac, 1909 South East Ave.; Vice President, Joseph Krabec, 2832 South Millard Ave., Chicago, Ill; Secretary, Joseph Florian, 2403 South Elmwood Ave., Berwyn; and Treasurer, Miss Marie Starman, 2336 South. Harvey Ave., Berwyn.

The Drama Club operates on a nonprofit basis and its annual production always displays the best in local talent with painstaking care in staging the productions which are given to capacity audiences.

Curtain will be at 2 and the play will be directed by the author himself who will be remembered for his last year's success with the play "Lincoln's First Love," which he wrote and directed.

For Heart Attacks Linked . .

WOMAN SMOKER RUNS RISK Women who smoke cigarettes run twice the risk of having heart attacks as women who don't, a new study suggested recently.

Numerous surveys have indicated that male smokers face higher risk of heart trouble than non-smokers.

This was termed the first observation of a familiar kind of risk among women smokers.

The study conducted by the Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York was described to the American Public Health Association by Sam Shapiro, the plan's director of research and statistics.

He presented these preliminary results from a continuing eight-year survey, started in 1961, among 110,000 members in the plan, aged 25 to 64.

Men smokers generally face twice the risk of coronary heart disease as non-smokers, he said.

They seem to have twice the risk of

26

ITESTNIK

developing angina pectoris, the chest pain brought on by exertion which indictates a lack of rich blood supply to the heart muscle itself, Men smoking two packs daily seem to have six times the risk of heart attacks than non-smokers. For men smoking less than that, the risk is about 50 per cent greater over nonsmokers.

Men who had stopped smoking at any time in the previous five years were found to have about the same risk of heart attacks as those who had never smoked.

As for women smokers, their number in this study are too small so far for an assessment of the risk in regard to the amount of cigarettes smoked daily, Shapiro said. These women smokers have not been found to be courting greater risk of anginal pain than non-smokers.

you are freezing vegetables, be sure to blanch them. This is an important step in freezing virtually every vegetable. If they are not heated before freezing — or heated enough — the enzymes which have helped the vegetables to grow and mature will continue to be active. The vegetables may develop off-flavors, discolor, or toughen so that they are soon unappetizing, food specialists remind. Check your freezing manual for the correct blanching time — it varies with the vegetable and size of the pieces.

TIME AND TEMPERATURE AND FROZEN FOODS Frozen foods are here to stay and with good reason. But the housewife should be aware of the importance of time and temperature as related to the food's quality, says Gordon R. Powell, fruit and vegetable marketing specialist for the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

It is almost impossible to evaluate the the quality as food is examined in retail stores. There are few really good guides for evaluating quality of frozen foods since the foods are often packaged so they cannot be seen. The food can be hard and cold, but this is not a guarantee that it has been kept cold enough, throughout its journey to the consumer.

Powell considers time and temperature to be a major cause of poor quality in frozen foods. At the very best, no form of processing improves quality, but if properly stored under the right temperature, the original quality may be maintained. However, this is impossible over a long period of time. Time affects quality but temperature affects it to a larger and more rapid extent.

If frozen foods are held at a temperature of 0 degrees or lower, time quality losses are slow, but at a temperature above 0 degrees, the quality loss is rapid even though the foods are still hard and cold. Several weeks above 0 degrees can be as damaging as thawing and refreezing. Temperature damage cannot be repaired, it can only be avoided, the specialist adds. Time and temperature do the real damage but people let this happen. If precautions are taken in freezing, storage, transportation and in the retail stores to see that the proper temperature is maintained, a quality frozen food will be available to consumers.

DOVE'S IN THE FREEZER Now with dove season here the hunters in the family will be bringing home doves for the family table. Some you will cook, some you will freeze PUT

Wednesday, October 14, 1964 Here are some pointers.

Smalk game and game birds should be cleaned thoroughly and cooled before freezing. This should be done as quickly as possible. It is well to do it in the field. Take your picnic ice chest and put the birds right in it after cleaning. This will prevent that long trip in a hot car which deteriorates the meat so quickly, The carcass shoutld be frozen since' it will be used in preparation by either leaving whole, halving, or cutting into serving pieces. Wrap each bird individually in moisture-vapor-proof freezing paper using the "drug store" wrap. Label each bird as to kind and date.

Freeze wild game immediately after packaging. Keep the meat at 0 degrees F. or lower until it is used. Quality meat correctly wrapped in moisturevapor-proof freezing paper wilt keep frozen at this temperature from 6 months to a year, except the heart and liver which should be used within 6 months.

Thawing meat before cooking retains the greatest amount of moisture content. At room temperature meat usually thaws in about 2 hours per pound.

If thawing is done in the refrigerator, allow about 5 hours per pound.

Do not refreeze thawed game.

Yards and Gardens GREENHOUSE TOMATO PRUNING AND TYING EXPLAINED College Station — One of the first problems to confront the beginning greenhouse tomato grower is the art of tying and pruning plants.

Greenhouse tomato production is a rapidly expanding business in Texas.

The fruit is grown during winter months, enabtling the producer to take advantage of higher market prices.

Dr. John E. Larsen, Extension Service horticulturist at Texas A. and M. University, says most greenhouse tomato plants are supported by wires running directly above each row and attached to the house frame. Wires are generally 6 to 7 feet above the soil surface. Number 11 wire is adequate to support 200 feet of row if supported by cross wires tied to the overhead structure.

Individual plants are most commonly supported by a length of ordinary binder twine tied to the wire and the other end tied loosely around the stem in an non-slip knot near the plant's base. The twine should be tied to a Paant not directly below the knot

Wednesday, October 14, 1964 on the wire but to the right or left depending on which direction plants are to be "dropped" later.

Larsen says the twine should be of such length that after tying to the plant and to the overhead wire, abut 3 feet of "pig tail" is left hanging from the wire. The twine should have some slack.

Tomato plants are pruned to a single stem by removing small shoots at the leaf axitis that would develop into lateral branches.

"Generally, pruning is necessary about once a week," the horticulturist said. "But during early fall, it may be required about every four to five days when growth is very rapid."

Shoots should always be removed by breaking and not cutting, Larsen emphasized. Small shoots less than 3 inches long can be snapped off easily by a sharp bend and pull to one side.

Larger shoots are bent over sharply to one side, then snapped off with a Sharp bend and pull in the opposite direction.

"This method helps, prevent excessive injury to the leaf axil or the bark of the main stem," Larsen explained.

Twine should be in place and tied to plants before the plants grow too tal' and fall over. Any visible lateral shoots can be removed during the tying operation.

As growth progresses, the plant is supported by winding it around the twine once between each cluster. Because of danger in breaking the tender tops, the plants should not he wound around the twine much closer than 5 to 6 inches from the growing tip.

LIFE INSURANCE INVESTMENTS UP $3.8 BILLION IN IIALF-YEAR Total investments of U.S. life insurance companies climbed to almost $145.0 billion at the end of June, a net increase of more than $3.8 billion or 2.7 per cent in six months, according to the Institute of Life Insurance.

The dollar amount of the increase was larger than in the same period during any previous year. Nearly half of the rise was in mortgage loans, and less than one-fouirth was in corporate bonds.

These are mostly funds set aside to meet future obligations to policyholders. Investment earnings help to keep down the cost of We insurance to

VESTNtIC policyholders.

A leading life insurance economist said, "The definite shift in emphasis away from bonds is because the lion's share of demand for insurance financing falls more and more in the mortgage area."

He estimated that two-fifths of new urban mortgage funds go into commercial properties — "a heavier proportion than with other financial ins, titutions, because life companies are better able to make large as well as small loans needed for office buildings, stores and other income properties of all sizes."

The three-fifths going into residential mortgages includes a substantial amount for apartments, which also require large loans. He said that, although savings and loan and other local institutions are in a better competitive position within a community to lend on single-famitt homes, life companies continue to finance many of them.

Farm loans accounted for almost one-sixth of the increase in mortgages and their percentage growth (7.6 per cent) more than doubled nonfarm mortgages (3.4 per cent).

The book value of domestic common stocks (not inctuding capital gains) had the largest percentage increase (9.3 per cent) of any category. Much of this rise was due to stocks bou,ght for separate accounts of insured pension funds — which many states have recently permitted.

ACNE Something can be done about acne.

The pimples, blemishes, blackheads and boils that make life miserable for so many teen-agers often can be eliminated or considerably reduced by careful attention..

Waiting to "outgrow" your acne can be a serious mistake, says a pamphlet of the American Medical Association.

Acne isn't a serious disease, in that it is not a threat to life and limb, but it can be seriously disfiguring at the time of life when young people are most sensitive about their appearance.

Severe acne can lead to permanent scarring.

Acne is caused by poor adjustment of the skin to the secretions of matural glands. The imbalance in hormone secretions will correct itself in time, usually around the age of 18 or 19. There are two things to remember in dealing with acne: There is no one-shot cure, no magic pill. Control is a continuing process of simple skin care which you must follow

27 faithfully to have a good complexion.

Second, acne is not a disease of dirt, even though you are told to wash thoroughly and frequently. The washing is to remove oils and to clear the plugged oil glands, keeping blatkheads at a minimum. The blackness of the blackhead is not dirt, but is due to a chemical change in the secretions from the oil glands.

Wash the face two or more times daily with soap and hot water. Waah thoroughly, but gently enough to avoid irritating the skin. Frequent shampooing of the hair also is in order.

Acne is not primarily a dietary disease. Following the strictest diet will not, by itself, dear your skin. However, some individuals seem to be made worse by very small amounts of certain foods, particularly chocolate, and these persons obviously should avoid such offending foods entirely.

Medical care for acne is best sought early before permanent damage is done. Each physician wilt have his own particular rules, methods and medications, and the treatment prescribed will vary from patient to patient. Do not assume that the medicines and methods prescribed for a friend Will be the best, or even proper, treatment for you.

Your doctor probably will warn against picking, scratching, popping and squeezing of pimples, since this may result in scars. Ask him whether you should open pustules or extract blackheads yourself. If he recommends this, he will show you how to do it without damage.

In some patients other treatments, such as antibiotics or other drugs, ultraviolet light or x-ray therapy, may be selected by your physician. Your physician will determine your specific needs. =American Medical Assn.

Seven Flags Over Texas ?

Although the history books say that the flags of six different sovereign states have flown over Texas, the fact is that there have been seven.

The six flags usually associated with the history of the Lone ,Star State are those of Spain, France, Mexico, Texas, the Confederacy and the United States of America. But there was also a seventh flag that usually is overlooked by the historians.

It was the green, red and white flag which once flew over Laredo when the border community was the capital of the short-lived Republic of the Rio Grande.

First State Capitol A replica of the first state capitol of Texas is located in Washington State Park at Washington on the Brazos near Brenham. Texas' independence was declared here on March 2, 1836.

On the same date a constitution was written and a full staff of executive officers inaugurated.

History was made on May 14, 1607, when the first permanent English settlement in America was established at Jamestown, Va.

Many persons seem to think that when the Declaration of Independence entitles them to the pursuit of happiness it means at seventy miles an hour in a thirty-mile-an-hour zone.

Texas First ound pool halls, Texas is known as the birthplace of the round billiards table.

Dr. Robert D. Perry, a mathematics professor at Texas A. and I. College, in Kingsville, designed and built the first circular pool table in 1957, and specialists with the cue and eightball have not been the same since.

Even lifetime practitioners of the game, as it is played on the orthodox rectangular table, find their best techniques fail when they try Perry's invention.

Professor Perry isn't worried. The manufacturer to whom he solid the marketing rights is selling about 40 of the tables each year at from $500 to $1,000 each.
