Aleg byl nejee gstej gi nag malir. Dnes to vime, ale nevedeli to soueasnici a musel bojovat tetkY boj o uznani, ktere se mu dostalo at v padesati letech.

Mikulag Aleg je ze stareho jihoeeskeho rodu. Algove pristehovali se do starobyleho pracheriskeho kraje Mirotic z Pisku pied 200 lety. Hloubava, prima a v Msadach neristupna povaha, razovite jihaeska, Ocilla se z pokoleni na pokoleni. Mikula.g se narodil 18. listopadu roku 1852.

Kdy meal kreslit? Ale g sam pige: "Pokud pamet' ma saha, kreslil jsem odjaktiva a ne-li, ode etyr let jiste.

Tehdy v time (rinor 1856) jell jsme s nebotkou matkou na formanskem vote z Prahy, cestou staveli i sme s e na jakesi hospode a to ja nanizke stoliece na fistritcich papiru kreslil sv. Vaclava.

Mikula'S Aleg re jsem neokusil."

V Miroticich Aie g srostl s lidem, si bystre sveho okoli a starosvetskYch sousedu, znal jejich kroje, zvyky, radosti i talosti.

Vzpominky na detstvi byly mu vtdy zivnou mizou. Priteli K. V. Raisovi sam psal: "To ja leckdy — kdyt mam kreslit neco naladoveho — vezmu si sta.ry svuj slabikar, nebo eitanky, prohlitim, preeitam a za chvili je "toho" v eloveku pino.

Na pisecke realce Ale g studoval do konce kvetna 1869. Na podzim se stal Aleg takem akademie umeni. Zel, pied samim odjezdem do Prahy mu zemrela matieka. A tak sedmnactilety jinoch, piny smutku, ale zaroveri pilny mladistveho zapalu "prospet vlasti still co prichati do Prahy, aby ji ut nikdy neopustil.

Studia byla tetkou dobou pro chucleho studenta. Doba Ale gova prigla roku 1879, kdyt byla vypsana soutet, na vYtdobu Narodniho divadla. Jeho navrhy byly prijaty a Ale g pige v dopise Aloisu Jiraskovi: "Jsem vitezem v konkurenci pro divadlo. A ted' pri gla hodina ma, bratre milt'".

LunetovY cyklus `Vlast" patri k vrcholnS;m pracim Ale govYm. Znamena pro deskou malbu totet, co Smetantiv cyklus symfonickYch basni 'Ma vlast" znamena pro eeskou hudbu. Ale toto viterstvi bylo jen kratkYm vzplanutim.

Jan Cimbura TINDRICH SIMON BAAR JIHOCESKA IDYLA Pokradovani "tined uvidis — " usmal se sedlak a vytahl boty. Do kake streil jednoha kloueka kogend ouSka holinek nasadil na haiku trnovku -- a hodil si boty i s Martinkem a VaSiekem pies rameno. SynkUrn se to libilo, poskakovali si a tancovali v botach a jenom hlavieky jim vykukokaly, "Ale mugi", idigovala se matka, "snad ty deti tak lakes yes neponeseS?" "A prod bych nenesl? Do Putime je ponesu — Smrkouce s nimi tak projdu a u g do Semic prijdu, teprve u nas na zem je postavim a boty obuju."

"Lide se ti budou smat."

"Budou — nebudou — vSe stejne.

Smeji-li se mi, sahnu do kapsy a nemam tam nic, nesmeji-li se, sahnu tam a nemam tam; .°pet nic. Lidem se nezachovaS a nezalibiS —deiej, co delej. Tys obe pacholata nosila pod srdcem, prod bych ja je nesmel nesti na bedrech", — a u g s chlapci na cestu vykrodil. Pane si vykraeoval v bytelnkch ko genkach baskma nohama, i vinene puneochy do kapsy schoval, nikoho si neveimaje. Sukovita, prugna trnovka se pki kagclem kroku prohnula, kiuci libezne se pohupovali, small, s tatiekem si povidali a v Semicich pak k vederu uz ani se nemohli, tata zuje boty, sami hned do nich se drapali a teSili se na "jizdu" k ;domovu.

A ride? Zprvu se tomu small; ale pak, kdyg Cimburu easteji tak potkavali, zevkdnel jim ten zvla gtni obrazek, nic smeSneho v torn nevideli a dnes povidaji si o tom pouze proto, aby ukazali, jak Cimbura miloval sve deti a jak mel velike boty. doma vgedniho dne na jak i v to chodival Cimbura nejradeji bos. V prachu i v blate V deal i vedru, po cestach, lunch i pouch kradiva,1 boson nohou a pouze ve vysokem podshun a pak v zime obouval dkevenkY, ktere mu ye StaSich dkevaenik zylaS1'

pro jeho nohu vydlabal a rok jako rok — jako na zakazku — par mu jich prinesl. Cimbura vylo gil si v nich "nart" beranoi kil gi a liboval si, jak ma nohu pane stale v suchu a v teple.

Kdyg pkiSel masopust anebo posviceni, Cimbura ua zase chodil s Madankou k Srnkiirri mezi sousedy, protoge nebylo rozumne prieiny, aby doma a tak urazil obec, jako by se s ni nesnaSel, anebo jako by se za ni stydel. On naopak s nikkm na Stiru ne gil, nikkm nepohrdal.

0 pamatkach je mile mezi naSimi sedlaky pobYt. "Spiekuji se" navzajem — a nevinnk, ale dobrk vtip nebkva mezi nimi nikdy nouze. V eem kdo behem roku pochybil, kde v hospodatstvi prohloupil, co se mu nepavedlo, aneb co sain pokazil, s tim se jiste zde v masopuste u stolu shleda — to mu jiste pkipomenou.

"Mika, pro hubu — na hubu", hrozivali mu sedlaci — ale nikdy nic se mu nestalo, vSe mu beztrestne proSlo. Letos vzal si na muSku Cimburu.

"Cimburo, kolikery mass drevenky?" ptal se ho.

"A mam jich kolik paril — muslin mit zasobu, proto ge na svou nohu v Pisku si ye vkch kramech drevenky nevyberu", dobracky vykladal Cimbura "ale ye StaSich ma clkevenkak ji g moji miru."

"A kam je ukladaS?" "Kam jinam? Pod kouzeri — aby vyschly a nepukaly."

"Tak to bude pfeei Pravda!" se Mika.

"A co — co?" hokeli hned vAichni zvedavosti.

"Tak yam Cimburka u g davno pozoruje slepici. Stale se pod kouzni povaluje. Kdy g selka hejno krmi, sotva nagrat se vybehne — a hned uz zase zmizi. Selce to nedalo. 'Copak tam jenom ma, ta mrcha?' povida, si a koukne pod kouseri. Ale nieeho tam nic nevidi, po slepici ani pamatky.

Jenom hospodarovy drevenky tam liekne v pokadku jako par konikil vedle sebe svorne le gi. "Divna vec', brudi selka, 'sem pkece ta chocholka a davala si Tangi pozor na chocholatou slipku. A hle, videla ji — na vlaji videla, jak pod kouzeil zabehla a tam se ztratila, jako by do vody padla. . . Ag mraz po tele °bagel

Ve stiedu dne 18. listopadu 1964 selku, jaka kouzla a eary ta slipka provadi. `Zabiju ji', ug se rozhoduje v duehu — 'nebo nae miti v hejne slepici odarovanou?"

Ticho — cela hospoda posorne sleduje zajimavou historii o podivne slepici.

"Nebyla optal se vzadu kousave Klasek a vachni pochopili prod.

"I kdepak," ozvala se sama Marjanka nevrle, proto ge vedela, kam ten Klasek mini, 'byla to chocholka — pefieko bile strida se po ni s kdym, `kropenadka' ji kikame."

"Tak tedy selka," nedaval se Mika yyruSit — "pina strachu hledi pod kouzeri, ale at' se diva, j ak diva, nic nevidi, ne g par dkinem pane do hneda zadazenkch drevenkti. . 'Ach tak' Slehlo ji hlavou a u g natahla ruku a vyta,hla clkevene obuti na svetlo — a hle — div divouci — svYm °dim vekit nechtela, v pravem dkevenku sedi chocholka pkikreena, ustrasena, pod ni hnizdo vjec a nektera uz naklovana — podiva se do leveho — a tam si hovi kaeka se tkemi kot'aty."

Do hlueneho smichu propuka cele shromagdeni srneje se noham Cimburovkm, smeje se jeho obuvi, ad citi, ge oSklivo smati se vade pkirozene.

Kdyby byl chromy nebo hrbatk, obec by se mu jiste nesmala, ale nohy jeho jsou zdrave, jenomk velike — tak velike, ge nejsou tak hned k yideni — stopy jejich ye snehu mezi vSemi se poznaji — to abed; lehta k smichu.

A Cimbura? Urazi se? Rozhneva se? Zvedne se a odejde? Na, Cimbura jako rozumnk elovek se nestydi za sve 'nohy a nehneva, se. Jen Marjanka eervena se studem za muge.

"Nerozumna genska", plisni ji v duchu mug a schv'alne odseda od stolu, vytahuje nohy yen z podstoli, diva se na jejich velika Slapadla, vesici ye velkkch, drikladnYch botach, s laskou hledi na ne a jako by se nic nepkihodilo, s velebnym klidem saeina mluvit: "O, moje slate nohy, nemohu se za vas ani dosti Panu Bohu nadekovat. Vic neg etykicet let u g me po svete nosite a nikdy jdte jste me nebolely. Po cestach dobrYch jste me dosed vedly a nikdy na bludne , nezavedly.

This mountain made into a monument in South Dakota exemedlies Our American l'c,itage.

Sculptured into the face of Mount Rushmore are four of America's great leaders. . . 6reorge Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

More than 350 years ago, the seeds of personal freedom were planted in a wilderness that today is the greatest nation on earth. These seeds, germinated in an atmosphere of political oppression and religious intolerance, were carried across uncharted seas and transplanted in a strange land by a courageous band of men and women. In this new land a new system of government and law began to evolve, based upon individual freedoms, rights and responsibilities.

"The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, 'til changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole People, is sacredly obligatory upon all."

—George Washington (in his farewell address) 0

to earn and save and own and enjoy to the fullest the fruits of his own labors.

"That Government is instituted and ought to be exercised for the benefit of the people; which consists in the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the right of acquiring and using property, and generally of pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."

—James Madison (to the first session of the United States Congress) o While the American system may not be perfect, no one can deny that it has worked better than any other the world has ever known. What dangers threaten our American way of life?

What sacrifices must be made if it is to be preserved? Is it worth preserving?

•

This system recognized man's natural ambition to be free — to live as an individual being. It recognized his desire to worship according to his own conscience. It recognized his ambition

In seeking the answers to these questions and determining a course of action, we must recognize that the blessings of our American heritage must be sought and earned again by

each generation and passed on to the next, unimpaired. Perhaps we can best accomplish our personal goals for preserving our American heritage by doing, at least, these things: I. Inform ourselves as best we can on all important issues. Study BOTH sides.

2. Exercise our precious right to vote in free elections.

3. Work for and defend causes which we believe to be just and honorable.

4. Do our part in encouraging obedience to the law and the prevention of crime and delinquency of all types.

5. Support educational institutions and measures to improve them, 6. Formulate personal convictions; speak up when we disagree, but remember that every man is entitled to his opinions.

7. Protect ourselves , and our families against financial dependency.

3. Observe patriotic holidays; display the American flag, and stimulate conscious appreciation of the principles and ideals for which America stands.

dnesday, November 12, 1964 9. Demand or ask no privilege which would require that we relinquish even. the smallest part of freedom in ex' change.

10. Strive for excellence in all things.

'The strenAh of our Nation is the sum of the quality of all citizens.

Almost everyone has heard of the "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by the famous historian Edward Gibbons. But not too many have read the entire works which include Gibbons' reasons for the fail. They are: 1. "The rapid increase of divorce; the undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis of human society."

2. "Higher and higher taxes and the spending of public: monies for free bread and circuses for the populace."

3. "The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more exciting and more brutal."

4. "The building of ;gigantic armaments when the real enemy was within; the decadence of the people."

5. "The decay of religion — faith fading into mere form, losing touch with life and becoming impotent to warn and guide people."

"There is one only good; namely, knowledge. And one only evil; namely ignorance."

—Wall inscription, Library of Congress Socrates was put to death by a powerful majority. If there had been anorganized minority, with freedom of debate, the rest of the people of that day would have become aroused and never have permitted him to be put to death. It was an action by a majority, yes, but majorities can sometimes be wrong.

"To sin by silence when we should protest, makes cowards of men. They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

—Benjamin Franklin • "If a public man tries to get your vote by saying he will do something wrong in your interest, you can be absolutely certain that if it ever becomes worth his while he will do something wrong against your interest."

—Theodore Roosevelt (in a speech at the Sorbonne in Paris, April 23, tam.

----SPJUT-

Houston, Texas Brothers and Sisters: The first time I became acquainted with the SPJST was in July, 1949, when I was approached to take a leading role in a Czech play opposite a player, who is today my husband.

Rudy, He was the dramatic director of Krouzek .1-Bohol and asked me to take a part. Later I had the privilege to dance the Beseda on many occasions.

In 1953, I served on the Entertainment Committee of Lodge 88 for three years, and helped make preparations for local Ledge 88 youth programs. In 1958, I was approached to be a local youth leader for my Mother Lodge. I served in this capacity with. Sister Del)1a, Kadlecek and EsteBe Kelly for two years, also as District Youth Didector.

In 1266, Brother Joe B. Hejny announced in our spring ,district meeting, which was held at Fairchilds, Texas, before' the 18th SPJST Convention, that the Supreme Lodge would recognize only one district youth, director.

At this time, the membership of my district gave me the privilege of serving you as District Five Youth Director.

It was in 1560 when Sandra Kay Watson of Lodge 166 became the first Miss SPJST. She was crowned in Son Antonio during the 18th Convention.

Sandra kept her title for four years, and many of u; will miss her sweet "1p and con' persom; y. :Ition prospered greatly The 01 g during lie of establishment. To celebrate the beginning of Youth: Clubs, a Princess Dance, and Queen Contest was held. It was then that

I would like to reflect back upon the events of our fraternal life, to see what one factor was responsible for all of this growth and progreSs which we have made and the finger points to one group: the membership itself, which has been energetic, enthusiastic, loyal and confident, plus hard-working.

Alter serving eight years as your District Youth Director, I wish to state that I have enjoyed working with the youth immensely.

My sincerest congratulations and best wishes to my successor, Sister Tillie Heimeamp and to all those who are working so diligently in behalf of but yOuth and for the growth of our SPJST Order.

22 NOVEMBER — DAY OE TRAGEDY On September 20, three months before his death, President Kennedy addressed the 18th session of the United National General Assembly. His theme was new opportunities in the search .for peace. Taking note of the first specific step in 1'7 years of effort to limit the nuclear arms race, the nuclear test ban treaty, the PreSident said :

"Today we have reached a pause in the cold war, but that is not a lasting peace. A test ban treaty is a milestone, but it is not the millenium.

LETTERS LODGE NO. 8.1, NEEDVILLE Dear Youth of Lodge No. 81: Hello to the young set of Lodge No. 81, needville. I am writing to tell you all once again how much we appreciated your swell performances at the District Five meeting. We are still hearing compliments.

I want to also tell the youth that we are having our Christmas program soon, and I am asking any of you who can sing, put on a skit, recite poetry, or the like to please let me know because we sure want to include you on the program. I know Santa will be there with a package for all our young ones (that is, IF you have been good boys and girls).

We will have our program right after o',73: next regular monthly meeting, which will be on Sunday, December 13th, 1964. So get your Mommies and Daddies to bring you to the party. I'm looking forward to seeing old and new faces at the program. Why not bring a friend?

Fraternally, Evelyn Christ, Youth Leader —SPJSTBY BUS FROM DALLAS TO FLIP Dear Readers: Although October 25, 1964 is a few weeks past it seems only yesterday that a bus load of ,SPJST members from Dallas boarded a bus for the District Three meeting at Lodge 35 in Elk, Texas. Most of us attended early mass then met at our lodge hall for a quick breakfast cf sweet rolls and coffee. We were fortunate to have Dorothy Rejcek bring some fresh kolaches baked by her mother, Mrs. Matuis, who is a prize-winning cook. Many thanks; they were yummy.

The bus was on time and in no time we were on our way. On board we had two members celebrating birthdays.

After Don Jar= blew out the twelve candles on his cake and Margie Wright blew out the candles on her cake we were treated to cake and coffee.

The trip was fast and smooth until the bus driver took a sudden turn off the main highway to the highway leading west toward Elk. This sudden turn threw a little coffee around but no serious damage. The singing, the gaiety, and happy talk makes a trip like this pass in what seems like minutes instead of hours. When we arrived in Elk the lodge members there had hot kolaches and coffee waiting

21 for us. They called this "Kaffeeklatsch" and it was indeed an appreciated gesture.

The meeting was most pleasant and informative, as you, can read in the minutes elsewhere in this issue. We were saddened on learning of the resignation of District Youth Director Mrs. Wilma Nesuda. If you must leave Wilma, thanks for a job more than well done. To the new leader, Mrs. Inez Zalman, go our wishes for a successful job.

We were served a. very delicious barbecued chicken dinner with all the trimmings. The brothers and sisters really outdid themselves and we all appreciated the efforts of Lodge 35.

After the meeting music was provided ' for dancing and listening. We all enjOyed this. At six o'clock the bus was loaded and ready to head back for Dallas. After such a nice meeting and social we hated to leave but we were tired and we knew the next day was "Blue Monday." The bus trip home was filled with laughter and singing and in no time the skyline of "Big D" loomed in front of us.

Bus trips with your lodge members are a lot of fun and if your lodge has not done this, plan to go to your next district meeting this way and we are sure you will say this is the way to go.

Thanks again Elk Lodge, for the good food, good music, and ,good fellowship.

Fraternally, Mrs. Edwin Turek El -LODGE NO 3'5 Dear Members and Friends: It has been a long time since I've written to the Vestnik. As Kitchen Chairman, in behalf of Elk Lodge, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their help and pastry donations toward the District III dinner. Everyone who was notified by me to bring pastry did so and I am most ,gracious for your help and cooperation.

Those who helped and didn't get their picture in the Vestnik were: Clara Thun, Albinos Pavelka, Vlasta Pavelka, Bessie Krupa, Viney Lassetter, Pat Marek, Alma Wolske, Inez Breitkreutz, and Edna Mach. Clara 'limn did a wonderful job of leadership in the kitchen. She was appointed by the Kitchen Chairman to take chage because she is familiar with food preparation for large crowds due to her past experience in school cafeteria work. Thank you Clara for a job well done so I could sit in on the business session of the meeting. An extra big "thank you" to all of the non-members who did such a wonderful job by offering and giving your help. They were: Helen Dulock, Bill Hand, Rose Wood, and Alma Wolske.

The men did a magnificent job on the barbecue that day and the day before. They are: Vernon Dulcet, Eddie Armstrong, Grad y ArmstroriF,:, Albert Bank, Ernest Banik, Willie Thun, Rudy Vicha, Calvin Adamek, John Mach, Frank Lassetter, Willie Pavelka, Henry Breitkreutz, Willie Mladenka,

Willie Adamek, Adolph Beralek, udy Zalman, Eugene Pavelka, Fred l:.ubiha, and Antone Pavelka. The three "hoot owls" at the pit all night after the dance were: Fred Kubitza, Eddie Armstrong, and Antone Pavelka.

The youth did a magnificent job performing their skits and songs. They had only one night of practice and the reward goes to Youth Leader, Ruby Pavelka. The two girls who did the registering at the door were Linda.

Kay Pavelka and Kathleen Zalman.

We do hope Districts I and V had as successful a meeting as we did in District III. Personally, I think President of Dista--:..et III, Ben Jarma, should be highly commended for doing such a great job of conducting the meeting at such a rapid pace. There was no time wasted, and the, meeting was over early criour,W. so that people could visit and enteilained before starting their journey home.

We arc sorry to loose Sister Wilma Nesuda es our District Youth Leader.

She is a wonderful person and a dear fklend to all of us and we will always remember her in this way. I have always admired her talents and knowledge in programming the Youth Activity Days in the past several years.

It was a pleasure to work with her.

Lodge 35 is proud that one of our past Youth Leaders was chosen as District III Youth Director. She is Inez Zalman. Inez has done work with the Youth not only in Lodge work, but also in Camp Fire and Hospital Auxiliary work. Congratulations, Inez.

Our thanks go to Sandra Dennis for serving coffee and kolaches during Has "kaffeeklatsch" at the district meeting.

I just can't close this letter without commenting on the mangnificent performance that the Lodge 66 Choral.

Group gave at the meeting under the direction of Brother Editor Nick Morris. Brother Morris, you never cease to amaze me!

We are all most grateful to State Representative Murray Watson for accepting our invitation to be the guest speaker.

Brothers and sisters, I wish to tell you that your work in writing new insurance is appreciated very much, not only by me, but by the whole membership of the SPJST. We all realize that it is not easy, that in some cases it takes a lot of time and patience, but we must keep up the good work in order for our great fraternal organization to prosper, to grow, and keep on going forward.

I also wish to remind you that now during November and December is the best time to sell insurance, especially in our farming districts. Farmers have just finished harvesting good crops (well, in most cases anyway), and may be in the mood to buy. Remind them that an insurance certificate is the best Christmas present for their children or grandchildren. Be persistent; don't take no for an answer and I am sure that you will bring in the ,bacon.

With best wishes to all of you, I remain, fraternally, V. H. Barina, District I Organizer -SPJST-

LODGE NO, 117, ROBSTOWN

Dear Editor and Members: Best wishes to all from our community. A few weeks ago I was visiting back at my old counties, Lavaca and Fayette, and I met with my old school pupils and friends from way back. Most of them asked, "what's the matter with Robstown; why not some news?" I promised I would write, so here I go.

First I sympathize with the Frank Kubala family. He was my first teacher when I went to Moravia school.

He was a teacher for the first year pupils that started to school. Since most of us were not used to going anywhere, except maybe to town on the Fourth of July, we were shaking like leaves when we went out. He made us feel more at home. Later he was appointed principal and he taught me the last year. So I started and finished school with Frank Kubala. We also organized a football team and Frank.

Kubala was our coach. That was a real football game, not like now. We kicked the ball, not carry it and pile up like they do now.

Most everyone wanted to know if we were through plowing. The farmers are never through plowing; they plow all the year round. Some made real good crops and others not so good; it depended on where the rains fell.

The folks wanted to know about dances in our new community hall. We will have one every Saturday before Lent, with different band each time.

The George Machart band from Hallettsville will play Nov. 28. The Tynan community is invited to come and see us.

Our SPJST lodge is doing fine as we old members step out and let the younger ones take over. I hear a lot of lodges say there are no young ones to take over, but I think the old ones DON'T WANT to give them a chance.

If they do they will be surprised how much the young ones can do. From my experience I know; it is up to the old

25

to step out. The young will not push them out.

Enough for today; will write again.

Fraternally yours, Jaro Rektorik SPJST-

LODGE 35, ELK Dear Members, Our regular lodge meting was held Nov. 8. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by the Youth Club girls.

26 We had the cemetery meeting first.

They elected new officers.

Brother President Antone Pavelka recognized the visitors: Sisters Rosie Wood, Dorothy Neslony, Mrs. Albin Mates, Mrs. Jerry Marek; Brothers Joe Mills and John Jurecka from Lodge 128 Mart, and of course, all our old visitors. Welcome, and come again.

New members accepted were: Julie; Dawn Hand, Sandra. Kay :Milner, Dorothy Mae Armstrong. Freddie Kubitza.

We welcome all of you into our lodge.

We heard wonderful comments on the District III meeting, which was held Oct. 25.

The president also recognized Sister Inez Zalman, who became the new youth director for District III. Sister Inez, we are proud of you. Thanks also went to the youth club for the program they presented and, to Sister Ruby Pavelka, youth club leader, The chairmen made their reports.

Sister Ruby Pavelka said that the youth cicb is purchasing a record a month for the juke box. So if you hear a new record it's the one the youth club bought.

Brother Edwin Holub commented on the inside of the hall, how pretty it looked and what a good job Sister Ruby Pavelka had done.

On the sick list were Sister Adolph Navarra, Brother Ronnie Holub, and Adolph Kubitza. The report on all three was that they were getting along fine. Sister Navarra was leaving the hospital Monday.

Lodge 128 of Mart asked to join Lodge 35. A motion was made and seconded that we accept them as soon as they clear things with the Supreme Lodge.

We will have a Christmas party at our next meeting Dec. 13.

Alter the meeting we had music by some Waco boys. Some of our lodge members also entertained us by playing and singing. We always have a nice social, so more of you members should come and enjoy yourselves In December we will also have election of new officers, so come out, vote, and put a good man on the job.

Fraternally yours, Dorothy Banik, Reporter Marble Made by Man Man-m2.212 marble that is tougher, harder to chip, less porous than natural stone, easier to keep clean, and more acid resistant has been developed, using plastic resins.

FROM THE STATE YOUTH DIRECTOR

THE CZECH BESEDA This beautiful, colorful National Dance whose popularity has never waned, and is still danced all over the United States where there are Czech clubs and groups, has a truly historical background. Composed largely of Czech Folk melodies, sung by its people for centuries in Europe, it has survived persecution, wars and almost oblivion of the Czech nation. It constituted a "ray of light," molding unity among its patrons, spreading hope for better days to come and instilling national pride in those whose courage never wavered.

The, beautiful Czech National costume is in itself truly a work of art and the soul of the "Beseda." May its beauty, honor, and the national prestige of the Czech people never vanish.

0

Brother Morris: The above information was used by Sister Ann Spence in a television appearance in Corpus Christi on Nov 17th, 12 noon, on channel 3. A "kolona" of Czech Beseda, dancers, sponsored by SPJST and Sokol, performed at that time. I was asked to be present by the local lodge officers to help in any way I could. This certainly gives a boost to youth club activities!

Fraternally, Jim Kucera SPJST
