OD REDAKCA10 STOLKU Ve vYroeni schnze neda.vno konane u ra.du Pokrok 6. 63 ye Sweet Home, snazil isern se objasnit otazky tYkajici se dotazniku, ktery byl pied nekolika dny rozeslan na vkchny rady na:§i jednoty. Srnazil jsem vysvetlit, co to pro naSt e jednotlive rady a pro celou jednotu znamena a joky didOity vyznam to mute eventuelne mit pro nas vSech.

Jako myslim, mnoho jine rady, tad 6.

Mnoho na gich radii :nebudu mot udati kladne odpovedi na otazky, nebylo-li tak ueineno v minulem roku. Je tedy tteba vaZne uvaZovat, aby prigti rok se nrednici tadu pastorali o dobroeinne skutky daleko doptedu a nee° podobneho ueinili kaZdoroene bez ptipomenouti od Hl. nradovny. Jest to pro nas veledalelita vac. Take myslim, vysilani podobneho dotaznikri kahlY, rok by rady pripominalo k dobrYm skutkrun, aby se tato prate spinila. Mel by to byt jeden z naAich bratrskYch cilu.

Pokud nam bylo oznameno tri rady anebo tti jednotky jiz zapoealy se svVmi vanoenimi plany pomoci svoiim bMnini, a jsou to Birthday Klub Sestry od faclu C. 88 v Houstone, rad C. 66 pH Waco, a KrouZek eleskYch ten v Dallasu.

mladae, ktera, se tento rok venuje dobroeinnYm skutkilm, radi bychom byli kdyby toto nam podali k uverejneni ye Vestnikut. Povzbudi to ttebas jine rady k neeemu podobnemu.

Pamatujte, ze jeden z nejrozumnejSlch darku v tomto vanoenim obdobi jest pojistka koupend u naSi SPJST. IIodi se pod vanoeni stromek mezi Venn nejdraMmi darky a se tak lehko nevydte, nebude potrebovat nova souteastky, opravu a z ylaStni udrZovani jako druhe privabne vanoeni darky. Jest to clarek, ktery potrva mnoho let. Lep'Atha neni. Proto, iak budete kupovat sve vanoeni prispevky pod rodinnY vanoeni stromek, vzpomente i na pojistku od SPJST. Zavolejte si a nechte si vvsvetlit rnzne pojistky na'Si jednoty. Tim si udelate sami sobe i svoji rodina dobrY skutek.

Na schtizi organisatorn z easti tretiho okrsku konane u radu C. 66 pr. ' Waco. poukazal organisator ttetiho okrsku Vrla a mistopredseda HejnY

na vyhody naSi pojistky, jeZ zarueuje zaplaceni domoveho, morgyee, toti2 dluhu na domove. Zkratka je to pojistka (nazev jest "Mortgage Cancellation Plan"), ktera zarueuje zaplaceni dluhu na domove, v pripade Umrti otce. V ptipade Umrti otce anebo hiavy rodiny dluh na domove bude zaplacen a tim ma man is elka a cela,, rodina sttechu nad hlavu, maji bez starosti, Ze jich nekdo vypovi na ulici. Zarueuje to trvale bydliSte pro pozustale. Jak neda yno psal br. Ignac 8enkyfik z El Campo, Nov& si velmi peelly e obstara pojiSteni na domov proti ohni, bouri i proti kradal, ale opomina si zatidit domov pro svoji rodinu v ptipade nahlehot odchodu. Podle statistiky, vet gina AmeriCann piati mesidni splatky na domov.

Kdy2 hlava rodiny nahle unire, dluh ztistane a banka anebo Ma pnjeovna jest nucena ptevziti domov a rodina nema toho stfechu nad hlavu a je odkazana na 'Stedrost sousedu a jinYch. o

Toto pojESteni jest proti okolnosti„ ktere se mfgou stat a take nestavaji toti2 proti neureitYch okolnosti.

Ten se za tu dobu nabatil dad a vyhledaval spoleenost koriskou. Na pastve na "kobylich lukach", jak otavy se odvezly, bylo ho zdaleka videt — bilou srsti liSil se od celeho stada hribat. Ale nejen srsti, i postavou, rehtanim a chezi.

Znate putimske louky? Jakte — neznate ty zelene kaberce, rovne, do ddli natatene a ustaviene se menici?

Ale Cimburfiv Honzik sedi na. Beladku jako jejich kcal, klidne navrhy posloucha, — at koneene rozkCte: "zitra poteneme na "Podkovu" " a parada je ukondena.

Tak vystlidaji tadou louky. je dues v suchem rybniku NeSn y -skem,jouzitranPhec,pozitri v Koutech, jindy na Okrouhlici.

Znate putimske louky — t yrde a dlouhe ode vsi k Ra.ticam, k HradiSti, k Piska, k Hermani — na vSecky strany jako velike jezero se rozlevajici — putimske louky, z nicht jako ostrovy pa stranach a vrSkach vynoruji se pole a lesy?

Po tech lukach at do tretiho roku prohanel se Belaeek. Tu stal se jeho krok jistVm a krepkYm, jeho noha prutnou jako struna, beh jella byl rychlY a skok jeho, kdyt Uprkem, betel, na dobry sab dlouhY. Po dva roky byl kralem ,hribat, on v'Secky predbehl, en prvni Sirokou strouhu preskodil, on nejdrive vtdycky do vody S'el a reku preplaval, on proti hYku zadkem se postavil a bil,kopyty, at byka zrnamil a rozprchle druhy obhajil —— Ale ve treti time pirisel k Cimburovi sedlar a vzal Beladkovi miru na chomout.

Ta tam uletela mile svoboda a hrebeekovi se otvirala perna Skold zivo-

8 ta. Hospodat ye staji zvedal mu nejprve nolay, jednu pa druhe, kladivkem na tvrda kopYtka mu poklepaval, dil ho hlavu shYbat, pol gta• mu pies ni na krk navlikal a celY den nechal ho pozdeji s novYm chomoutem stat a begat. Pak pohribetnik a podpinku mu utahl, oces mu kroutil a podocasnik pripjal.

Ut nesmel Belaeek po dvofe, po vsi lajdat, kolem vozu cestou aneb kolem pluhu na poli pobihat, na kobyly se divat, jak pekne stejne jako dva grouby tahnou; ale sam ted' ye voze s podsedni klisnou musil kraeet. Kralke drteni poutalo ho ke kovanemu konci oje a od uzdy betel semen hospodari prima do ruky. Chvili se mu libilo, hezky rozumne jit prL moudre kobyle. Hrde si hrebeeek naglapoval, pygne si vedl. Pak spatril nekde chutnou travioku — chtel skoeit a misat ji, ale chyba lavky! drteni nepovolilo, klisna zlostne hlavou se ohnala a tvrdou delisti do citliveho krku ho uderila a hospodar remenem pritahl, at se mu pysky o gklive rozgklebily.

"To by hralo," mysli si Beldeek, "tak vy se mnou tak — ukati, co umim ukati vie svou situ, to jsem panem," a vzdorne pohodil hlavou, predni nohy vzprieil a kroku, neudelai.

Kayla mrskala po nem okem _ a jako by nevidela, co mladieek vytahla dal a u2 brousilo kolo beekovi vzadu kolena, take jako ugtknut kuptedu popobehl, stranou uskoeil a dozadu se podival. Tam spatril usmivajleiho hospodate, jak mu rukou hrozi.

Belaeek se rychle srovnal a zase chvili potadne, jak se slu gi a path v paru gel, nebot' sedlaka se Beldeek jeho oei se bal a pied jeho rukou • mel vitr. Sedlak do du ge vidi Belaekovi pohledne a navlas vi, co hrebedek v nejblitgim okamiiku chce pro• k demu se chysta, vyhodi-li sadkern, kousne-li, zatehta-li anebo kupredu sknci, vzepne zadek, otoef-li se anebo pozpatku zacouva. Na du gi — do oei, na nozdry, po nohach se podiva,, podle toho k hrebeakovi se blizi.. .

"Mne neogidig, mne nepodvedeg," • si a hied i Beldekovi do oei pevne, ze konik pohledu nesnese, schlipne tem ougka, hlavu srst zjeti a po celem tele ut napred se chveje, nebat' vi, ze hospodaf hned yzapeti za tim pohledem po nem chigapne — uzdu v ruce jako v kle gtich zmaekne a Beladka k zemi strhne.

Prato se boji Beladek prisnYch oei 1 pevne ruky hospodarovy.

V2STNIK Ale hospodar neni krut'ak. Nechce, aby se htebeeek bad, chce si dobYt jeho Lasky, proto jak konik poslecb.ne, hned na neho lahodne mluvi a chvalou ha zahrnuje. "Tak jsi hezky, hodnY konieek — tak to mam rad — slugne v paru vykraduj — hahou, hej.

Krok drt — jak se na poradneho kone slugi a pat&L. Narostl jsi a musi g byti utiteeny. Nebylo by ti hanba je gte ted' s malYmi hribatky se kamaradit a po pastve a po drahach se toulat, neeinale se povalovat? Jen trp — a ue se chodit a tahat — nee° zkusi g — ale to jinak nelze — kahly udednik — mudednik. Vgak si zvykne g a pak se ti, darebaeku, stane prate rozko gi a vetgi radosti net toulky a lenogeni, k duhu ti pujde — kosti v tobe ztvrdnou, svaly zocelovati a sily sam za tri jive kone vyclag."

Tak ho Cimbura chvalil, s ram mluvil, mirnYm hlasem vie net strohou prisnosti ho chlacholil a krotil, az ho chodit naueil. Oasteji se ted' pied kovarnou zastavil a BeWeek se dival, jak umounenk kovar v kotene tastere vygel, thave podkovy konim phkladal, at dusivY dYm Spalovaneho kopyta Beldeka v nozdra.ch gimral — pak i k nemu kovar pristoupil. . . BCladek podradene zafrkal, protote kovat odporne epel dYmem a nevonel senem, ani votavou, jako voni sedlaci.

I nohu se opovatil hrebeekovi zvednout a kladivkem na poklepat, jako mu to alai doma Cimbura, nebo Francek s Honzikem. Jen kdyby hospodaf ruku povolil a oei s neho pustil, Beldeek by mistra kovare vyplatil; ale Cimbura stoji na strati a konik proto drti jako beranek a mrknout okem se boji.

"Ach, ten se da dobre kovat — bude drtet jako stars'," chvali hrebeeka mistr, spokojene ho poplacaje po rozeklanem zadku.

Jegte dvakrat, trikrat se to opakovalo, at to v gecko zev gednelo BClaekovi, zvykl si aft na zapach spaleneho rohu, na dYmem pachnouciho mistra kovai:e a sam uz nohu zvedl, jak jen zavolali "heir anebo "zvedni" a po note se shYbli.

Ale potom jednou Cimbura zavedl Belaeka pod pristre gek kovarny, tam privazal ho kratce k teleznemu kroutku a sam ve gel dovnitt.

Hrebeeek mohl slyget otevrenYmi dverml., jak sedlak slavnostne promlouva na mistra i tovaryge: "Tak vedu novaeka — dries ho okovame prozatim jen na predek," ale nic neslygel, protote pozor nedaval a jen se dival na divy dome kovarny. Vi-

Ve stredu due 2. prosince 1964 del tam na vYhni salajici plamen jako velky, earovny kvet ohnivy rorthavene telezo napred bile j ako stribro, pak tlute jako zlato, pak eervenalo a modralo slygel rany perliku a kladiva pekne v taktu znit, at do skoku mu pri tom bylo — a jako hvezdieky videl sr get od kovadliny drobne okoje.

Pak vygel kovar, kopyto Beldekovi zatrnulo, rany kladivkem byly jaksi padnej gi, a hle, kdyt mu nozicku pustili, naglapl a citil, to na necein stoji, rychle atrial — nohou sekl, ale setrasti to nemohl.

"Aha! Obuli jsme te!" small se mu hospodat s kovarem a okuli mu rychle i druhou nohu.

Ach, stra ggle ty podkovy prekately!

Jako centy take se zdaly, zakopaval cestolu o kaZyi kaminek, musil si zvykat nohy vYge zvedat v chtzi — ba, bylo mu, jako by se znovu chodil Cit. Hrabal nohoma, at tame litala, ale podkov zbaviti se nemohl.

"Holeeku, konieku, ty jsou. pribite" — anal se mu sedlak, "pet dobrYch podkovaku katc•ou drti, ale poekej zitra, pozna g , k demu jsou dobre." — pak i k nemu kovar Jako kralovskY princ vstavalo na vYchode za Markarni jarni slunce. Z mlh, jako z jemnYch, pavueinovYch plenek se vybavovalo, at se posadilo nad lesem na gpieky smrka, jedli a borovic a jasnYm okem usmalo se na putinasky kraj. Polibilo nejdrive start' kostel na kopeeku, pozlatilo jemne, jakoby pahladilo, do gkove strechy vesnice a ut jako v zrcadle shlig' el° se v podkostelnim rybniku HanVoda jako by se v plameny promenila, razem zaplala po cele hladine a drobne vinky jako chveni radostne betely po jejim povrchu. Ze sitiny od hraze ven do toho jasu vyplula v delo sveho stadeeka divoka kachna a ostatni nedorostla mlad' toutebne tikala v peelive ukrytych hnizdech.

Lesson 26

Lekce Sestadvacata

The verb — Sloveso The verb is a word that indicates action by a subject, of a process, a state of a person or thing: The verb changes its form according to the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person who performs an action; according to the time (present, :Past, future); to the manner of the action, Every verb refers to a subject and time. bojujeme — my bojujeme (we are fighting NOW), whereas the nouns BOJ (fight) and adjectives (bojovnY) bear no relation to time.

FINITE forms of verbs express number and person contained in the subject: mluvim — I AM speaking.

NON-FINITE forms have a nominal character: budovani, sta ykovani — the ACT of building, striking, etc.

0

•

REFLEXIVE verbs indicate an action 'which is performed by the subject upon himself. Ex., mYti se, oblekat se, hrat si, .ueime se.

Sometimes, the verb may be separated by several words from its reflexive pronoun: Kdyi se - po dlouhe dobe domn.

• • In colloquial speech, we use the compound forms "ses" and "sis", which are the results of abbreviating jsi se (ses) and jsi si (sis). Thus: Ty jsi se nemyl becomes: Ty ses nemyl. Co jsi i prat? becomes: Co sis pia?

• With some verbs se has no meaning at all, and are called "simple" reflexives. Ex.: Divati se na neco; smati se; ptati se, etc. There are about 60 verbs of this type. Many of them express physical or mental feelings; ball se; diviti se; ziehiti se; chce se mi, etc.

4

•

The Czech verb possesss: 1) 3 tenses: present, past, future.

2) 2 aspects: imperfective, perfective.

3) moods: infinitive, indicative, imperative. conditional.

4) 2 voices: active and passive.

5) 2 number: singular and plural; 3 persons (1st, 2nd, 3rd).

•

•

Imperfective: Perfective: Infinitive: Cisti preeisti "resent: CO' —doesn't exist Past: eetl jsem peceet1 jsem Future: budu Gist preetu Imperative: eti! preeti to!

Conditional: e'en pi'ecetl bych to. , bych Present participle: preeet -- Si, se eta, &tone, etouce Non-participle: preeten, preetena, eten, etena, pkeeteno eteno verbal noun; refee eni eteni • Verbs: are also: 1) durative: jim, etu, nest' (I am eating, etc.)

2) iterative: jidam, eitam, nosim (I often eat, etc.)

3) frequentative: jidavam, eitivam, nosivam (I am in the habit of...)

• • Some prefixes change the meaning of the original verb. Ex: delati — PitEdelati (To alter or change) ZApsati (to write down, enter) psati platiti — PODplatiti (to bribe) jeti — ujeti — (to abscond, make off) Some verbs may take on 2 prefixes; z-pre-vraceti (to completely turn over everywhere) po-za-bijeti (to kill people all over the place) po-po-sednouti to move over, while sitting) • • There are 2 negttive participles in Czech: 1) NE — nemluvim, nedelam, etc.

2) NI — nikdo, nic, nijaky Two negatives do not make an affirmative: Nedelam nit; neznam nikoho; nikdo nikdy nie nevi.

ANI is used for TAKE in emphatic negative: ani on to nevi.

ANI2 is used as a conjuction: Odjel, ani' se rozloueil (he left without saying goodbye.)

• • There is much more to the study of verbs, but for the more various "shaded" meanings and fine points, an instructor is needed.

Some Czech proverbs: Lepgi vlastni kousek chleba, nein cizi peeene.

Kdo sam ctit nerni, jinemu ji neda.

FalegnY piitel jako koeka: z piedu pozadu tkrabe.

• • Get your parents to read these proverbs to you and discuss their mean-, ings.

PROM At the recent annual meeting at Ledge Pokrok No. 63 in Sweet Home, I tried to outline and emphasize the importance of the recent questionnaire that the Supreme Lodge sent to all lodge secretaries. Looking over the various questions to be filled out in the farm, I hope I got the point across that something too many of our lodges have been neglecting is public charity work. Like many other lodges, Lodge No. 63 had not thought of the matter in light of recent developments, and it is hoped that many of our lodges, after some sober reflection, take seriously this matter of charity projects. If your lodge hasn't done anything of this sort, we hope you certainly plan on, something of this nature during 1965. Personally, I feel that an annual assessment of this situation would be appropriate in the form of a questionnaire like the one sent out this year.

It would serve to "keep us on our toes" and remind us of our fraternal objectives.

Thus far this season, three groups, or units, in the ,S13 ,Il::;T have chosen to sponsor public charity projects: Birthday Club Sisters of Lodge No. 88, Houston, Lodge No. 66, Waco, and Circle of Czech Women, Dallas. (The latter is not exclusively an SPJST unit, but has close ties with our Ceder, and many of its members are members of the SPJST). These are the three that have thus far been reported in the Vestnik. Perhaps there are others. If so, we'd like to hear about them.

Remember that one of the most sensible presents you can place under the Christmas tree this season is one of a number ci sound and reliable SPJ9T insurance protection plans, As I stated before, this is a gift that doesn't chip, peel, or crack with use. You'll need very few replacement parts for it, and it will require only periodic "maintenance" in the form of premiam payments. The best part of it is, though,

In vain we build the work, unless The builder also grows.

—Edwin Markham that it is a gift that lasts for many Christmases. For what you put into it and get out of it, you can't beat it. So when you're shopping around this Christmas and you run out of ideas, think positively in terms of an SPJST insurance plan. ♦

♦

At a recent organizers' meeting at Elm Mott near Waco, District Three Organizer Arnold Vrla, and Vice President Joe B. He.jny of the Supreme Ledge, madp several good points about the SPJST Mortgage Cancellation Plan. This is a plan that may not be as well known, perhaps, as some of our other plans, but it is certainly one of the most sound, sensible, and common sense types of protection plans.

Briefly, it amounts to this: for a small monthly (or other) premium, you (the breadwinner-head-of-the-house) c a n guarantee payment of the balance of the mortgage on your home, in the 'event of your untimely death, thus insuring a permanent home for your wife

and children. Statistics bear out the fact that a vast majority of Americans are making mortgage payments on a home. When they die, and there is no provision for paying off the balance of the mortgage, the home has to be repossessed by the bank or loan institution making the original loan. The survivors are left homeless, unless charity takes over.

9

People insure motor boats, automobiles, furniture, machinery, jewelry, clothing, and dozens of other items, but often neglect insuring against loss of a home in the event of death. At the same time, we are careful to carry insurance on our homes against fire, storm, and other forms of destruction, which we are never sure will happen.

But that most inevitable of all things among us mortals, death somehow escapes our minds when il comes to providing some means of softening its blow. In a sense, it is the most sensible and logical of all plans. It provides a roof over the family's head; it. keeps that most precious of all things together — our' family, our children. It makes sense, doesn't it? If 'your home is free of debt and you don( have to bother making mortgage payments, be thankful, and forget about any sort of mortgage cancellation plan. If ycL're not one of those so fortunate (and most of us are not), then our SPJST Mortgage Cancellation Plan is just the thing for you. (Read Bro. Ignac Senkyrik's letter in the Czech section in the November 18th issue). Call or go to see your local ,SPJST representative real soon. For just a, few dollars, you can give your family a home this Christmas — perhaps for many Christmases to come.

HALLETTSWILLE Dear Brothers and- Sisters: The annual meeting of Lodge Bila Elora No. 16 will be held on Sunday, December 13, beginning at 1:15 p.m. mieeting officers will be elected for the year 1965, so please conic and elect a new secretary. I won't get mad if you do.

After the meeting refreshments will be served.

Fraternally yours, Victor W. Melnar, Secretary ST— LODGE NO. 17, SEATON Dear Members and Friends, As president of our lodge, and as Chairman of the beard of directors, I humbly preserit, to our members and the public this report.

For fifteen months we have now been operating and enjoying the harvest of our vast expansion and modernization of the property and place we call home. This did not just happen; someone had to take the time to plan, to think, to consider, and to re-

VASTNtrE

consider the necessary changes, for the future existence of our lodge. Ours was a choice of whether we our generation, want to meet the challenge of the future and progress with the present era and also plan for the future. With any undertaking of this nature those who take the lead realize and are willing,' to put out toil, sweat, and maybe tears, for the dream so dear to their hearts. Their reward is the successful completion and above all, the service to society, the public, and the members which is realized from such a change as ours.

There are many of you who deserve credit and can feel justly proud for the record of the past fifteen months ives you the right to feel or humbly to be propd.

We had a very successful formal opening of our new home. For this we are grateful, especially to all of you from various lodges of the state. You came in great numbers which gave us confidence. Thank you very much for coming.

Then, as Paother Morris wrote, our work was just beginning. We have had polka dances each Saturday night, (not during lent and advent), since our opening. Overall, these were a big success. We are proud, and those who work free and exercise the fraternal spirit are justly rewarded for their efforts when you hear such remarks, "this is the best place I have ever seen"; when every orchestra leader says, "it is so easy to play in your hall."

'These remarks are thoroughly appreciated and we wish to thank all of you who make such remarks. People travel great distances to our dances, and that can be attributed to what we have to offer and how we run our place.

There were numerous wedding receptions and dances, all very successful, anniversaries, reunions, meetings, and our annual picnic. All these have been attended by many people and all were very successful and enjoyed by many people. We are grateful that you chose our hall for your gathering, of wnatever nature. We sincerely thank you and if we have what you want we are always ready to accommodate you.

This kind of report does not have to prompt me to paint a rosy picture for you members of the board, members of the lodge, and the public. You all have earned the highest honor that can be reached through cooperation and fraternity — "Success." It was a pleasure to work with you, and I thank you.

We have paid off about a third of g

our indebtedness, including interest, utilities, improvements, and payment on principle. We have made enough money to pay off almost one-half of the principle. All those responsibile for the share in this reward are the families, members, and individuals, too numerous to mention. We appreciate your help and support. For all your efforts, of whatever nature, we thank you. Not only have we made progress financially but our membership for the past fifteen months has been steadily growing. We have, up to now, signed up about 80 new members into oL.r lodge. Thanks to the organizers who have devoted their time and efforts in getting these new members.

You help to promote the fraternal work which is devoted to an ideal, a principle, true ;SPJST spirit, and want to go forward. All of these help secure new members. May we continue in this spirit. The SPJST needs it in more lodges.

We are oing to have a Christmas date indefinite, with a stuffed a turkey dinner and all that goes with it. A general report will be given, with recognition and awards to the outstanding member family (Mr. and Mrs: SPJST of the year), and to all those who made this success possible.

Then a Christmas program will follow with a real Fanta Claus to give a present to all good children. We invite all our members and members of other lodges who helped us throughout the year. We extend a special invitation to the Supreme, Lodge Officers. personnel of headquarters, and the editor. If any of you members want to bring a special friend or have company, bring them too.

LODGE NO. 146, GALVESTON Dear Brothers and Sisters: Today is a good day to write a little, being Thanksgiving Day and I'm waiting for the turkey to get done.

The first thing I want to mention is our Christmas party Saturday, December 12, 1964, at the American Legion Nall in Galveston. Everybody bring a covered dish for your family. The drinks will be free. Santa will be there to give all the children a gift, so don't leave them home. There will be fun for all.

This meeting will be our annual meeting. The election of officers will be held during a very short meeting, so let's all be there to enjoy this Christmas party. (Picture and article on Louis M. Valusek will appear next week. — Editor).

I had better sign off for today before my turkey is gone. I want to wish everyone the very best and hope nobody had too mach turkey. This year we had a lot to be thankful for. This year was a good year for the SPJST and many other things that we should be grateful for.

I want to thank Brother Jarda Cerny for all the help he gave this lodge.

Without his help we would have been still trying to get off the ground. We want to thank the Supreme Lodge officers for their support; also the officers cf District Five who came here and helped up get started. So you see we have a lot to be thankful for.

Don't forget the Dec. 12th Christmas party.

NO. 38 OSVETA, KOVAR. Dear Brothers and Sisters: Our last monthly meeting and election of ledge officers is a thing of the past. There sure weren't many at the meeting. If any officers were elected that you don't like, you should have been there.

We lost a few members in October.

Bro. John Adamcik, and Bro. Jerry Vydrzal of Wisconsin, Sister Amalie Valek, and Bro. Emil Vyvjala. Our sympathies are extended to, all the survivors of these fine members.

Deer season is here and some have had luck so far. We have a lot of venison in the Smithville Locker Plant, We LODGE

had to turn down some. I hope we catch up soon. I hope the moon shines every night until the deer season is over, so we won't get so many deer at the locker plant.

The fall gardens are really nice, and the vegetables taste so good.

The officers for 1965 are as follows: President — Vaclav Barina; VicePresident — Mary Stepan; Secretary -- Jerry Stepan: Financial Secretary Lillie Evicic; Treasurer — Felix Volcik. Financial Committee: John Stolle, August Hajdik, Charlie Hribek, and Ed Zimmerhanzel. Beer stand — Willie Susen; Soda Stand — Frank Stepan.

Building and Grounds — Charlie and Bertha Kalina. Sick Committee: E. E. Holub, Joe Elsik, Louis Valek, Charlie Vyvjala, Agnes Susen, Mary Stepan, Lillie Evicic.

Those not present in the meeting need to know that it was decided that those members sitting up and keeping watch at the side of the deceased need do so only to 12 midnight, provided the family desires that. It happened that recently Sister Stepan and I were to sit up from 12 midnight until morning.

Boy, was it cold! I couldn't get the truck started so we didn't go. It's no fun.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Christmas sure is coming fast.

Before you know it, another new year will be here.

In November, Mrs. Frances Lastovica died in an Austin hospital and was brought here for burial. She was placed to rest in the Kovar CMB Cemetery.

Our sympathy to her family and relatives.

We forgot to discuss our Christmas tree and lunch at our last meeting, so we will do that at our next meeting.

Come and help us plan. Those little tots are so glad to get candy, nuts. and fruit. Don't forget to come to this meeting, and those of you who are behind with your premiums come and attend to that. See you then.

Wednesday, December 2, 1964 SOKOL HOUSTON Dear Members and Friends: We have had a wonderful and prosperous year at the gym, and yet, all of the best events are still to be filled.

Such entertainments as Christmas program and dance, New Year's party, and jaternice supper are yet to be enjoyed.

Last month our talented young women's class presented the Fraternal.

Congress held in Galveston, with an exhibition of free calesthenics and gymnastics to the rhythmical beats of an Oriental tune. The dance was also performed at our annual Sokol Circus which was the most successful since we began the circuses about three years ago. The circus was so well received by the public that we plan to continue them every year. We wish to apologize, to these who may not have been served cur delicious barbecue lunch because we sold out by 2 p.m. The attendance was so great that we never anticipated such a large turnout.

On Sunday, December 13, we will hold our annual election of officers.

We urge all members to vote became we have an important year in 1965 and we want to get all members in a position that will help us meet our goals. We will have the centennial of the Sokcls to observe in 1965 and also the building of our gym (we hope by spring). On Sunday, December 13, we will also make the famous Sokol laternice (liver sausage). Please place your calls before Friday, December 11.

Watch the ads for phone numbers and details. The first jaternice sale is always the largest due to its novelty and putrchases being made as Christmas gifts.

Another important day will be the New Year's Eve Dance which we observe yearly. The po pular Lad Pavelka Orchestra will entertain, Tickets will be sold in advance and we encourage all to make their purchases as soon as possible because we are limited in space. The Pavelka Orchestra has been playing at most of our barbecues and only by special concession have we been able to hire this full-size orchestra. Mr. Pavelka is a Sokol member and through his efforts we are able to give our members and friends superior entertainment with minimum cost. So you see, we have an interesting schedule. Hope to see you at the jaternice sale.

Here is the club news: The Teen Glob, held their annual skating party November 20 at T's Ring in Hillsboro.

Eeventeen of us enjoyed the skating; nine just visited, including the parents. We were glad to have a ,few of the Juniors with us, They didn't mind trying hard to learn how to skate better (with a few spills). I wish there were more who would care to go and try to learn. It's lots of fun — more than it seems. Anyway you have to try a thing to find out, and once you try skating you will be glad you did.

I wish to express my sincere thanks to all the parents for their help with the food and use of their cars. The club furnished the drinks, napkins, p.aper plates, and "yours truly" paid for the second skating session.

Once again, I would remind you to he sure and work on your Merit Books and Point System sheets so you can be finished with them and be ready with them when I call on you for judging, no later than our first meeting in January.

At our next meeting, Dec. 6, we will discuss the Christmas program that is set for Dec. 20, at 7 p.m. We will also draw names to exchange gifts. I am calling on all you Teen. Club members to be present. Let's see how many of you are still interested; if not many, we might have to disband next year and I know you don't want that to happen after all these five wonderful. years to ether.

We will have election of officers, if you still wish to keep the club. Fol1owing the meeting and election a delicious turkey supper will be served by the mother lodge, and during supper we might have a surprise ler you.

Hope to see many of you on Dec. 6.

VENISON APT TO BE DRY IN COOKING

By Jo Ann Vachule (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) So your husband is a hunter and eagerly awaits the imminent opening of the season and hopes to return with a feast from the forest.

Good luck to him and a word of caution to you. If he is !fortunate enough to return with a deer, cook it properly —with tender loving care.

Venison should be cooked much the same as beef, but remember that venison is a much leaner meat from a much more active animal.

Beware of overcooking, for it dries out quickly, loses flavor and becomes tough. Venison fat, being tallow-like in quality, should be removed and small pieces of beef suet or salt pork inserted throughout to help retain moisture and tenderness. Marinating helps the cause, too.

And you will surely be faced with freezing a large part of the meat. Here are some pointers, offered by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, which will help to produce a good-quality -product.

Age venison a week or longer at 40 degrees. Cut the carcass the same as for beef. Do not bone steaks, chops or short ribs.

Store in meal-size packages.

Divide steaks or chops with two pieces of freezer paper to make pieces easier to separate.

Use only moisture-vapor-proof freezer paper. Label all packages as to cut and date. Freeze immediately after packaging, keeping the meat at zero degrees or lower 'until used within a year. The heart and liver should be used within six months.

Do not freeze more than four pounds of meat per cubic foot of freezer space within a 24-hour period.

Thaw meat before cooking to retain moisture content. At room temperature this will require about 2 hours per pound. Never refreze.

To celebrate nature's bounty and the hunter's prowess, serve roast leg of venison with wine gravy. Marinate the meat overnight in a spicy burgundy mixture so the wine has a chance to permeate and tenderize the meat.

Lccompany the regal roast with a ham and ripe olive stuffing shaped into plump balls and over-browned to arrange with spiced peaches as a garnish for the meat.

Tender canned Blue Lake green beans with a spicy mixture of French dressing, onion and chopped pimiento will double as vegetable and salad.

Ape Man Found Paleontologists in Communist China claim they have unearthed the skull of an ape man near Hsian, in west China, who lived 100,000 years before the Peking Man, the official New China News Agency reports. Remnants of the extinct Peking Man, estimated to be between 400,000 and 500,000 years old, were found in caves near Peking in the late 1920's.

Wednesday, December 2, 1064 DEER SENSE Every fiber of a deer's being is refined for instant flight. Nostrils, ears and eyes, in that order, are incessantly tuned to its surroundings. Even its gastric apparatus is adjusted to eat and run habits. Hastily swallowed Tood goes directly to a roomy storage cham ber. Then at a leisure moment it can be properly chewed for digestion by the other three stomachs. But during rutting season, a buck often loses its natural caution in its quest for a doe.

At this season, the doe's alertness frequently saves many a buck's head. It js the doe who samples the air every few seconds to catch the faintest scent of impending danger, It is the doe whose ceaselessly swiveling ears pick up a suspicious sound. It is her sharp eyes which catch a nicker of movement in the monochrome patterns of brush and trees. She is the one to snort an alarm.

Scent warnings from her tufted leg glands spotted on and around her path of exit will spook a trailing buck into flight, even hours later. It behooves a hunter to respect a doe's alarm system by stepping softly, upwind, and being ready to freeze when spotted. It he does, success will be far more likely to reward his efforts.

(-Texas Game & Fish Mag.) ---SPJSTTEXAS TACKLE TALK

By Curtis Carpenter (Texas Came & Fish Magamine) Many lakes in Texas are so infested with various types of aquatic vegetation that it is difficult for the average fisherman to drag his lures through the best fish hangouts. My advice here is: DON'T let the moss scare you away I heard one of the nation's best bass ?fishermen say just the other day, "Moss doesn't grow too thick for bass."

The real problem is, what can I use to fish the moss? An extremely weedless lure, of course. And there are some on the market. A weedless hook with a piece of pork rind on it works very well. One of my favorite lures for the big hogs that hang out in moss is an Unkle Josh pork frog on a 3.0 weedless hook. Sometimes this same frog on a Rex Spoon or Johnson Minnow works wonders. A new lure just out called the Weed Wing is one of the best moss lures ever designed. Even a weedless hook with a plastic worm will work wonders. Skeeter Hetzel, an Austin fisherman who makes lures, has a weedless hook which should be very popular' with the dorm fisherman. It can be used with a worm in moss without hanging up or collecting grass.

The secret of using any one of these

At other times it's best to bring them in a jump at a time. If the moss is extremely thick, the lures will rest atop the moss just as if they were floating.

With a twitch of the rod tip some dangerous, action can be created. This often is accomplished by keeping the red tip high.

Don't think for a minute big bass will refuse to take a bait on top of the moss. He'll come crashing through growth so thick you'd think not even a swift arrow could penetrate. When the big one grabs a moss-gliding lure the next problem is getting him out.

At times the only thing you can do is paddle over and dig him out. I always worry about this after I get him on the hook. I've seen the big ones churn a path across the surface of matted moss like a weedless propeller. Many times bass take advantage of grass to twist a hook out. Heavy line in the 15or 20-pound class is highly recommended when dragging thick weeds for bass. Don't give a hooked lunker any slack when he buries deep in his moss haven. Keep the line tight and work your way over to a position near enough to dig him out.

Don't liten to those who say the moss is too thick. Fish the edges in the early mornings and late evenings.

When you have done this, plop a weedless lure clear across a bed and drag it over the surface. Try it (fast and try it in jerks if the moss is thick enough to support the lure. ,Sometimes you need to let it settle if a bass hits short. It May not work every time, but when it does you'll be a bass better. Don't be disappointed if it doesn't work the first time. Practice will make a regular moss fisherman out of the average angler.

Juts don't be afraid to try the thick, water weeds. It never gets too dense for the big bass not too thick for the fisherman.

PRENCH LEGISLATURE IN AUSTIN

The French Legation in Austin has the destination of being the only building erected on Texas soil by a foreign government.

When Count Jean Peter Isidore Alphonse Dubois de Saligny was secretary of the French. Legation in Washington, D.C., in 1838, France became interested in the Republic of Texas.

Saligny was sent to Texas as a secret agent to report on the state of affairs.

He recommended recognition of the new nation, and was appointed charge d'affaires to Texas in 183,9. The legation was built on property which Sallgny purchased for $1,000 from Anson Jones.

Saligny's stay in Texas ended with the renowned "Pig Episode" which took place when a neighbor's pigs caused an international crisis by breaking into the Count's gardens and stable, trampling the garden, and eating corn stored in the stable.

When Saligny tailed to receive an apology from the secretary of state for this uncivilized act, the irate Frenchman departed for civilization, with diplomatic relations temporarily suspended between the two nations.

The building is maintained by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and is open to the public.

POST OFFICE DEPT. (Information Service) With Sokol leaders in attendance from across the country, Postmaster General John A, Gronouski unveiled the design. of a new postage stamp that will be issued next year to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of this physical fitness organization in America.

A quarter million Sokol members are descended from Czechs. Slovaks, Poles, Yugosla ys, and other ethnic groups who introduced Grecian-style gymnastics to the New World. Sokol emphasizes grace, poise, and selfreliance above mere muscle building.

U. S ,.

"These Americans," iVIr. Gionouski remarked, "learned from their forefathers that freedom must be fought for and that liberty is not easily acquired or preserved. For these reasons, I believe that the Sokols — taken man for man — comprise one of the finest physical and patriotic assets America has."

Mr. Gronouski said he thought the stamp would also help to further the ,goals of the President's Council on Physical Fitness.

The 5-cent Sokol - Physical Fitness commemorative postage stamp is based on a bronze statue of a Greek discus thrower. The statue, which stands near the State Department building in Washington, D. C., was a gift of friendship from the people of IlI:oiy to the people of the United States.

The stamp design was unveiled at a reception in the Postmaster General', office.

• Remarks by Postmaster t7encral John A. Gronouski at the unveiling Ceremony — Sokol Comr-ieorative Stamp — Postmaster C,eneral's Office Washington, D. C. — October 27, 1964 Certainly this is a proud moment for all of you, the day on which we unveil the design of the commemorative postage stomp that honon; the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Sokol movement in the United States.

And I would like to take moment right now to make it clear that a Sokol stamp is not being issued just

Wednesday, December 2, 1964 because my name happens to be Gronouski. I feel certain that a Postmaster General Cassidy of Postmaster General Smith would have been equally impressed with the splendid show of energy and enthusiasm by which you went about justifying the issuance of this physical fitness stamp.

On several occasions representatives of the various Sokols took the time to come to Washington to consult with me on the stamp. And Sokol members nationwide literally bombarded us with petitions and letters asking for the.. stamp. Your enthusiasm was irresistible. I think the hard work you put into your campaign for the commemorative postage stamp is a great tribute to the vitality of the Sokol and Falcon movements.

When the Sokol movement in the United States was first established on February 14, 1865, in St. Louis, Mssouri, there began a most worthwhile activity that has fanned out to every corner of our nation and now includes 'more than a quarter million members of all ages. These men and women, boys and girls, are imbued with the highest standards — both physical and cultural.

Now this in itself does not make the Sokol movement unique. There are other organizations in our country that are concerned with physical fitness.

But what does make Sokol unique, it seems to me, is the historic role Sokol plays in battling to keep free men free.

This aspect of ,So,kol is like the hidden part of an iceberg, the part underneath the water. There is more to Sokol than meets the eye.

In Poland, from which my grandfather migrated to the United States, Sokol had a strong impact on the Polish independence movement. This Sokol first came into being in southeastern Poland — the so-called Galicia — in 1567. At the turn of the century and in the years immediately preceding World War I the Polish Sokol, as many of you know, was allied with Roman Dmowski's National Democratic Party devoted to the cause of a free Poland.

More recently in Czechoslovakia this devotion to freedom and democracy led to cruel suppression of the Sokols there, first by the Nazis, now by the Communists. Sokol leaders have been imprisoned; Sokol property, expropriated. Could there be a finer testament to the democratic principles embodied in Sokol?

In the United States, Sokol organiza-

VESTNfK tions are comprised of members descended from Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Yugoslays, and other ethnic groups and these Americans learned from their forefathers that freedom must be fought for and that liberty is not easily acquired or preserved.

For this reason, I believe, that the Sokols — taken man for man — comprise one of the finest physical and patriotic assets America has.

The commemorative postage stamp we shall issue next 'year to celebrate the centennial of the Sokol movement in America reproduces a statue of a Greek discus thrower. This design strikes me as particularly appropriate, for the principles of Sokol date back to those in the gymnasiums of ancient Greece, where grace, poise and self reliance — not mere muscle building — were among the goals. The cultural aspects of Sokol also spring from the Greek gymnasiums, where philosophers gathered to lecture and debate.

The Sokol physical fitness postage stamp was designed by Norman Todhunter, art director of a New York advertising agency and a member of our Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee.

This committee, which consists of experts in. art, philately and the printing process, advises me on the design and subject matter of new postage stamps.

And I might say parenthetically that we receive literally thousands of requests each year that certain new' stamps be issued. We issue only aboult fifteen!

Mr. Todhunter's reproduction of the discus thrower is based on a bronze statue which stands near, the State Department building, here in Washington. This statue is a gift of friendship from the people of Italy to the people of the United States.

Issuance of the Sokol physical fitness commemorative 5-cent postage stam p next year not only honors the many Sokol and Falcon organizations, but also will help to further the goals of President Johnson's Council on Physical Fitness, begun under our late, bolo red John F. Kennedy. And I think we can all take pride in the fact that a great Polish-American athlete, Stan.

Musial, is special consultant to this council, As the President has said, "We cannot stay strong as a country if we go soft as citizens." In these difficult years ahead, America must remain strong. The strength of body and the moral fiber which are the heart of the Sokol movement will keep us strong.

Thank you.

NO WILL? WHO INHERITS PROPERTY? What will happen if you should die without executing a legal and proper will? Who will inherit 'your property?

Your husband, wife, mother, father, children, your wife's relatives? The best way you can say who will have it is to provide a will which will protect your rightful beneficiaries and dispose of your property in accordance with your wishes.

When a deceased has no will, or dies "intestate" as the law calls it, the property of that person is distributed according to a detailed formula fixed by law. In some cases this may be the way you yourself would divide it — but in many cases it is not.

The provisions of the law concerning the distribution, of the property of a person who dies without a will are rather complicated, and all of the possibilities cannot be covered by a general statement.

There are different rules for real estate and for personal property, for community property and for separate property, for homestead property, and for all of the many possible combinations of surviving relatives. Each situation must be carefully studied to determine the correct distribution of the property.

For example here is a general idea of how the community property which which you and your spouse have accumulated will be divided, if you do not make a will prior to your death.

If your husband or wife survives and there are no children, the surviving spouse receives all the property.

If, in addition, there are surviving children or descendants of deceased children, they would divide one-half of the property, while the surviving spouse would receive the other onehalf.

Of course, grandchildren do not share in the estate unless their parent who would inherit is deceased. And when descendants of previously deceased children do inherit, they receive only the portion that the child would have received, regardless of the number of such descendants.

An odd note, perhaps, is that the surviving spouse already owns one-half of the community estate prior to your death, and the law adds nothing to his share when there are children surviving.

When there are only children and their descendants surviving, they di-

vide the entire community estate between them.

Where News Is Hottest Presidio, hard by the Rio Grande River and locked in a pocket of the Chinati Mountains, soon will be in the news again almost every day. It's almost always the hottest spot in the US. Oliver Harper, who owns a local handware store, is paid $75 monthly for acting as the government's part-time weatherman. Each summer the mercury hovers around 100 degrees most days. Once, on June 25, 1953, it hit 117 degrees in the shade.

-SPJSTTexans At Work Near San Mateo, California, T. Jack Foster, 60, is building his own city.

"Foster City" is being built by the Mineral Wells native on Brewer Island, whose 2,600 acres of flat land looks a lot like the Texas prairie. Foster said $13 million for the island and has spent millions more dredging sand from the bottom of San Francisco Bay to raise his townsite well above sea level. He will build 6,600 houses and 4,400 apartments on the island, plus community shopping centers, schools and parks.

It was put together over the last ten years by Leonard Stiles, a King Ranch employee, and totals 725 different branding irons. The oldest is the Cross W brand established by James Taylor White in Chambers County in 1819.

Also to be seen is the brand which Stephen F. Austin recorded in Brazoria County in 1838—the first Anglo-Saxon brand recorded in Texas.

vESTNTK Footnote to History Enterprising Texans developed their own chewing gum long before Wrigley thought of the idea.

For those who did not mind the taste of turpentine or the adhesive qualities of their chew, both the cypress and the cedar tree furnished a wax that could be chewed. Perhaps the favorite homemade "chew" came from the sweet gum tree, particularly when a bit of wintergreen, mint leaf or cinnamon bark was added.

Even a kind of bubble gum was possible. This was achieved by adding the elastic meat from the blueberries found on certain types of brier.

Wednesday, December 2, 1964 LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY Suppose that you have hired Freddy to cut your grass, and he runs your mower into your neighbor's hedge, thereby ruining the hedge. Are you responsible for the damage? Quite likely you are.

Or let us suppose that you find you need some supplies for the evening meal. You ask Tom. your neighbor's son, to take your car and go to the store for them. On the way, Torn hits a pedestrian, seriously injuring him.

Can you be held responsible? It is possible that you can.

In both instances, the boys were acting for you. These acts while performing those duties are, in the eyes of the law, your acts. You may be liable despite the fact that you may have cautioned Torn to drive carefully and he did not.

The average individual expects to answer for his own actions. He does not usually consider that he may be responsible for the actions of other persons. That, however, is frequently the case.

You may ask another person to do something for you, that is, to act as your agent. You may pay him, or he may be doing it without compensation.

You may ask him to buy or sell property for you. The action may be to negotiate an agreement for you with a third person.

If representations are made by your agent in performing the task which you assigned to him, you are responsible. In a like manner, you are responsible for the contract made by him while he was acting for you.

You may be held responsible for the acts of a person who customarily represents you even though he entered into a contract for you without your consent or approval. For example, you may have a partner in a business, and you and The have agreed that certain contracts shall be made only upon the signature of both of you.

Unknown to you and without your consent, your partner signs such a contract with a third person involving partnership business.

If the person with whom this contract is made has no knowledge of the terms of your partnership agreement, you are responsible for the contract which your partner has made.

As the actions of your agent are considered to be your actions, you assume the responsibility of his doing them correctly.

The Old Alcalde Governor Oran M. Roberts, who served as the state's chief executive from 1878 to 1882,, was noted for running the government on a "pay-as-you-go" basis. To help save tax money, he discontinued the payment of rewards for the arrest of criminals and he granted reprieves and pardons by the hundreds to reduce prison population.

One day a critic accosted him and told the Governor that the country was "going to hell" because Roberts was "abusing" his pardoning power "It may be," the old alcalde replied calmy, "but it will go to hell according to law."

Popcorn Packing Texans who're used to buying popcorn in a package soon may be getting their package in popcorn.

Incidentally, the packing popcorn can be eaten, too.
