FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK IT WAS A GREAT DAY!

CLIMBING HIGHER . .

Fabulous! Great! Overwhelming!

There really aren't adequate adjectives in the English language to properly describe the two-day Grand Opening of Lodge Pokrok No. 68 in Houston.

• The first thing that should be mentioned, however, is the very fine weather that attended the two-day celebration. It couldn't have been better. The favorable weather was responsible for the huge over-capacity crowds that came to 1435 Beall Street 'from every corner of the state. Had the severe icesleet-rain storm hit Texas and Houston 48 hours earlier than it did, the ettflect would have been disastrous, so far as the opening was concerned.

The weather has a lot to do with the success of so many things, and in this instance, the gods were smiling and generous.

Climbing higher is a matter of willingness to pay the price. Most of us are willing to give about eight hours a day to our jobs. Up to this point everyone else is in the race. But those who forge ahead put in "overtime." The return for a stan,dard day's work is moderate because competition is so keen, but overtime pay is always high — it goes up in a geometrical ratio.

Many thousands have the ability to achieve outstanding success in every undertaking of life — politics, literature, music — if they were willing to give themselves and overtime to one achievement. Getting is the result of giving. When one directs all his energy into one channel, and gives himself wholly to one task, something will happen.

—Chas. Flynt

Estimates of the number who attended the Saturday night festivities ranged from 3,600 to'about 4,000. Every seat was taken in the huge ballroom and many were standing. The dancing was mostly of the shuffle variety.

About the same number came for the formal dedication ceremonies on Sunday. Buses filled with SPJST members rolled onto the huge lot from Dallas, Waco, Temple, and Taylor. It was truly a magnificent gathering of friends and members of the SPJST from all over Texas. It would be impossible to list all

the towns and communities represented there. The traffic in the hallways was jammed constantly. Passage was difficult anywhere you turned.

• As for the building itself, you have to see it to fully comprehend and appreciate the elegance of it all. Elegance is the word, because it properly describes the tasteiful and exquisite decor and furnishings throughout the building. Our Houston brothers and sisters went "all out," and the results are there to see. No doubt about it, it is

one of the finest anywhere, and they can be justifiably proud of their beautiful new edifice. If you :didn't get down for the Grand Opening, you must make it to Lodge 38 soon. See for yourself.

Now that the fanfare and pomp is over, the hard-working membership at Lodge 88 will settle down to the routine and task of edging the lodge toward payment of its obligations and the other many tasks that face any active and progressive lodge. It took much work and energy to bring the lodge to its present posture, and it will take an equal amount of work and dedication to keep it going on a weekto-week business basis. They will do it.

•

It seems that despite all the advance publicity of the Houston opening. some of the local Houston papers missed the boat on what and who was doing what and where. 'Brother Rudy Sefcik sends us some interesting and somewhat perplexing iniformation from a Houston newspaper. On Thursday, February 11, a Mrs. Maeik (certainly a Czech name) wrote to the "Watchem" column of the Houston Chronicle. Mrs, Macik wantecl to know, in short, " . . . is there 9 German social club called the SPJS1 here in Hoaston?" The vai , of : the column answered Mrs. Macik thusly: "Lodge Pokrok No. 88, SPJST, is a Polish organization at 1140 Robbie St. There are two German social groups here in Houston: the Saengerbund,

This was too much! Brother Sefcik sat down and wrote a nice long letter to the Chronicle, explaining the why's and wherefore's of the situation, together with a background of our SPJST, when and how it came to be, etc., etc. A few days later, the same column, after numerous complaints and telephone calls, came out with this statement: "Our German expert is not familiar with other ethnic groups. No snobbishness, SPJST is a Czech organization." A few days after that, the paper printed Brother Sofcik's letter, edited, giving the gist of his longer letter.

Public Relations This incident reveals a couple of things: 1) there are still a lot of people, who, when asked or thinking about nationality groups in this country, more often than not refer to either German or Polish groups, not being aware of the great number otf Czechoslovaks in this part of the United States; 2) better public relations between our lodges and the SPJST as a whole, and the public, are still needed.

It all boils down to a need for improved public relations, for an improved public image, not only in Houston, but wherever we have lodges and wherever we are an active participant in community life. Of course, the writers of the column made a wholly unwarranted assumption, but they -did make it, and one wonders how many people failed to read the follow-up information correcting the previous error. It will be interesting to know how many "outsiders" arrive at the door of Lodge 88 to ask, "is this the Polish Club?" or "is this the German Saengerverein Club?" There are still too many people who do not know we exist, or who, or what we are.

Refreshing Statistics In this day and time, and amid all the reports of all sorts of delinquency, it is refreshing to run across statistics that prove our teenagers are doing fine. According to official reports, the city of Denison in north • Texas, had 24 per cent less juvenile delinquency in 1964 than it did in 1963. Cited as one of the main reasons for this decline is the local Boys' Club. County Judge Tribble commended the local police because " . . .Denison is the first town I know of that shoWed a decrease in juvenile delinquency of 24 per cent in the last year." There are

Wednesday, March 3, 1965 540 boys in the Boys' Club, which was open 292 days in 1963 and had visits totaling 16,352 from boys aged from 6 to 18. The club, operated with a budget of $9,200 supplied through the United Fund, operated at an average cost of $17 per boy, far below the national average of $100 per boy. About 20 per cent of the members come from the lower income bracket, about 70 per cent from the middle, and about 10 per cent from the upper income bracket.

• • What's the moral of this story? An idle mind is indeed "the devil's workshop," and once again, it has been proven that if you give 'youngsters something wholesome and constructive to do with their leisure time, they will stay out of serious trouble. In Denison, a Boys' Club has proven to be a large part o;f the answer. No one is kidding themselves into believing however, that any such club can solve all the community ills. Clubs and similar such organizations are no panacea for the problems of delinquency. The fact does remain, however, that given a decent place to go, and something decent to do, boys, (and girls) will behave themselves, provided, of course, they have been taught some basic fundamentals of what is right and wrong by their parents. Home environment still plays an important role in a youngster's behavior. We, in the SPJST, try to provide just such activities through our youth clubs. With the approach of the spring season, youth activities will pick up considerably. See that your child, your lodge, play a definite role in youth activities. Keep them occupied.

Keep them busy. Keep them out of malicious mischief.

MEMORIAL FUND Fort orth, Texas Dear Bro. Editor and Readers: A "Joe Milan Memorial Fund" has been started by his many S'okol and SPJST friends, said fund to be put in trust under a board of directors for the !future growth of Sokol in the Fort Worth area.

Brother Milan, our beloved "Chauffeur" in SPJST circles, dedicated his whole life to Sokol and other Czech and. American endeavors. His family was with him in this 100 per cent. Suddenly — Brother Milan is gone! In each of us there arises the question what did I do or could I have done to make his journey through lige among us just a little happier? It's just a little too late.

6 However, the impact of his passing, his faithful years of community service, his giving of himself and family in time and money, has prompted his many friends from all over the country and state to urge this Memorial Fund in his name. He was one of the old guard who "broke ground" here in Fort Worth, and whose ranks are thinning fast.

Voluntary memorial contributions have been corning in with a plea to set up this fund, and the Fort Worth Sokol will thank the Vestnik and Edi for Morris for public acknowledgement of the following donations: $ 5.00 Carl Zich 5.00 Eric Koch 5.00 Anna Hosek 50.00 Sophie Benfi 10.00 Republic Club 5.00 Willie Mae Durrett 5.00 Anna Korteff 10.00 Roland Ralberg 5.00 Annette Schabowski 10.00 Anthony Michelich 14.00 Bennie Vavren 1.00 Mary Gonda 5.00 Struska 5.00 Mr. and Mrs. F. Kubena 65.00 J. R. Meeker Anyone desiring to add to this trust fund may do so by mailing your check or money order to Bro. Milan's widow, Mrs. Anna Milan, 2216 Loving Ave., Fort Worth, Texas, or to me, Anna Hosek, Secretary of Fort Worth Sokol, at Rt. 1, Box 292, Grapevine, until such time as a board of directors will be established to direct this fund.

Our young junior men's class at Sokol has currently been assigned the task of acquiring new gymnastic equipment. As you have probably witnessed, the apparatus is very ancient and limited in quality. It was acquired in about 1925 when the Houston unit was first organized and it has been in use since. The apparatus was well constructed and it has withstood over 40 years of heavy wear and use. However, our unit has grown in size to such extent that we have to divide our groups into three shifts and use the equipment in a round-robbin manner. We have an urgent need for better equipment and this hard and important task has been assigned to our young leaders of tomorrow. The first project that is planned is a car-wash which will be held at Sokol Houston on Saturday, March 6. The price will be $1 per car and they promise to do a professional job. The co-chairmen of the project are Jerry Bily and David Mikeska. Every cent will go toward the purchase of new equipment and they will appreciate any business that you may give them. A scrap paper drive is also being conducted and when you bring your car Tor a wash, bring along any old newspapers or magazines.

We are planning for one more jaternice sale which will be held about the second Sunday in March, but watch the ad section of this paper for a definite date. This will probably be the last sale, due to warm weather which will be upon us in the next few weeks.

A social is also planned in March with a supper and possibly a dance, but I will have more on this after our entertainment committee meets.

Sokol Houston has elected a person for the office of Educational Director, a position which. has been vacant for some time. The capable person is Sister Anna Busch. She has had many years of education and training in the cements and theory of the .Sokols, having participated in our organization when she was only a small girl. She is well versed in the history and goals of our organization and she is in an important slot of our organizational structure. We are expecting a great deal from her and her position. lqazdar!

It was decided to purchase $500 of the Sokol Commemorative Stamps, in 5-cent denomination.

Vice-President Hejny read his report in the meeting and commented on it orally.

Vice-President Hejny reported that during the last quarter of 1964, we received 521 applications for $1,042,305 Of life insurance for a total of 1800 applications for $4,020,030 of life insurance written in 1964, which is a gain of 150 applications and $500,030 over last year.

Vice-President Hejny reported that the new rate books are in the hands of the printers and should be ready for distribution within a short time.

Vice-President Hejny reported that new youth clubs were organized in Lodges 29, Taylor and 30 Taiton.

Director Sralla inquired about procedure in organizing a Youth Club in a local lodge. Vice-President Hejny explained that the lodge should contact the State Youth Director, and also notilfy the District Youth Director and that it would be carried out from there.

Vice-President Hejny presented the recommendations of the insurance committee for the year 1965. It was agreed to amend item 19 in the recommendations to read "$50.00 cash" instead of "$75,00 bond." With this one amendment the recommendations of the insurance committee were adopted.

V ESTIOK district meetings was not attended by the 50-year members as well as it could be. He, therefore, suggested that possibly the awarding of the emblems be made by the districts, either by the district director or some district officer, that the attendance might be better, and that it may create more interest. It was decided to leave the matter of awarding the emblems to the decision of the districts.

Secretary Urbanovsky reported that only 58 lodges requested the SPJST banners.

Upon question of Attorney Kacir, it was agreed that we continue to demand Guaranty Titles from companies with a capital stock of $500,000 or over.

The matter was brought up about checking the condition of the property on which we have loans, by the Directors. After some consideration it was decided to defer this matter until the next meeting.

For The Housewife NEW GRADE STANDARDS AFFORD MORE CONSUMER PROTECTION

For more consumer protetion, state laws have established standards that assure high quality for citrus in fresh or processed form, says Mrs. Gwen Clyatt, A. & M. Extension consumer marketing specialist.

Grade standards liar canned orange juice and frozen concentrated orange juice were revised in November 1964, tc bring permitted ingredients, additives and concentrations of orange juice into line with definitions and standards of the Food and Drug Administration.

Manufacturers are now permitted to sell more highly concentrated orange juice. This means that the consumer' now will be able to make more orange juice 'from the same size can formerly p u rcha sect.

These new standards also will allow manufacturers to add limited amounts of some other citrus juices — such as tangerine juice — for better color and flavor.

The orange solids content must meet a minimum weight standard, however, regardless cif how much sweetener is added.

Consumers should read and follow the amended directions on concentrated citrus juice, the specialist reminds.

Wednesday, March 3, 1965 MARCH OUTLOOK IS FOR GOOD EATING

The March outlook is for good eating. Eleven different foods will be unusually plentiful this month, according to the Texas Agricultural EXtension Service.

Eggs, peanuts and peanut products top the plentifuls list. March egg suppiles are expected to be above those of a year ago, with attractive consumer prices in prospect. Peanut production is estimated at 7 per cent above last year and the largest crop since 1948.

Other foods designated plentiful by the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Consumer and. Marketing Service include rice, cabbage, celery, carrots, canned pink salmon, red tart cherries, canned pears, apples, and winter pears.

Production of rough rice set a new record. The pack of canned pears was record large and, in spite of low carrover stocks, supplies are record large. Frozen red tart cherry holdings are twice last year's volume, and there is plenty of canned cherries for all.

Apples continue in abundance, in spite of excellent early-season movement. The pack of canned pink salmon was considerably greater than the previous year, so current stocks are large.

Winter cabbage and celery will be in substantially greater supply than last season. Although winter carrot production is a little below last year, supplies are expected to exceed trade needs.

For good selection and economy, plan menus using the march plentiful foods.

STUDY GROCERY ADS FOR GOOD FOOD BUYS

Supermarkets are featuring a number of good buys at present, so study grocery ads and make shopping lists accordingly, recommends Mrs. Gwen Clyatt, Etension consumer marketing specialist.

At retail meat counters, look for beef values on ground beef, short ribs, arm, and blade pat roasts, sirloin, T-bone, round steaks and beef liver. Look for more emphasis on marketing the rib and loin cuts during the next several weeks. Consider stew meat for variety in menu planning and to help stretch the budget as well.

Pork values include pork loins, picnics, hams, shoulder roasts and steaks.

Pork supplies are below those of a year ago, however some markets are featuring specials on roll sausage, Boston butt roasts and chops,

Wednesday, March 3, 1965 Frying chicken continues to represent a good value, and the fryers are weighing about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds, giving more meat in proportion to the bone.

The Grade A large eggs offer food shoppers the most economy and quality for their money.

Plentiful supplies of dairy products are also available, and there is no price change here. Cheese is one of the valuable protein 'foods and is versatile.

Bananas highlight most fruit counters, so use them generously while they are available at attractive prices. „Several varieties of apples are plentiful.

Just appearing on the markets in limited supply are pineapples, rhubarb, strawberries and honeydew melons.

Red tart cherries and pears highlight the canned goods department.

Best vegetable buys include head lettuce, celery, cabbage, carrots, ' cauliflower, broccoli, green peppers, radishes, and green onions. Potatoes are available at relatively higher prices since supplies are down considerably.

Yards and Gardens EARLY PRUNING IS RISKY Resist the urge to prune trees and shrubs in the garden until you are relatively sure all danger of severe freeze is past, says Everett Janne, Extension landscape horticulturist at Texas A. & M. University.

Often the impulse is to start pruning rose bushes and other shrubs with the first shirt sleeve weather in January and February. In most areas of Texas there is still danger of freeze damage to tender growth as late as mid-March.

Warm weather in January frequently forces the terminal buds to begin growing. If this growth is removed by early pruning, the lateral buds begin to grow during the next warm spell and a late cold snap may cause serious damage to these buds, says Janne.

The following are the only justifications for pruning plants: to remove dead or diseased wood; to repair storm damage or mechanical injury; to balance the top with the root system then transplanting; to develop and maintain a desired shape or size; to rejuvenate older plants; or to improve or increase flowers and fruit.

Flowering, trees and shrubs which bloom early in the spring, such as )lowering quince, spiraea, forsythia, lilac, and redbud, should not be pruned until after flowering.

Trees and shrubs which flower from

VESTNIK early summer through the fall months, such as Crepemyrtle, hybrid tea roses, and shrub althea, usually produce their flower buds on new wood.

They should be pruned in late winter or early spring after danger of frost is over and when new growth begins, says Janne.

Complete information and illustrations on pruning trees and shrubs can be obtained from your local county agent's office by requesting B-977, "Modern Pruning Methods," published by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, College Station, Texas.

• LEAF SPOTS LOWER ORNAMENTAL VALUE OF SHRUBS Leaf spots on broadleaf evergreens such as ligustrum, euonymous, gardenia, holly and photenia lower the plants' ornamental value and are especially noticeable at this time of the year in high rainfall areas.

These leaf spots, of various sizes and colors, may be caused by several different fungi, molds or bacteria, says Wendell Home, Extension plant pathologist, Texas A. 8,z M. University Little or no damage, however, is iniflicted upon the plants,, since the year - old leaves will soon be shed anyway.

If the shrub's value is high enough to justify spraying costs, a preventive spray program is effective in reducing leaf spot damage. For fungal or moldy leaf spots, Horne recommends two tablespoons of captan or two tablespoons of zineb per ,gallon of water. A combination of captain and zineb may be more effective. A spreader-sticker should be added to the spray.

Captan or zineb may be used safely throughout the year. It is important, however, to protect plants during times of high humidity or above average rainfall.

Bacterial leaf spots may require spraying with fixed or insoluble copper such as Copper A Compound or Tribase Copper Sulfate. Bordeaux mixture may also be used, the, pathologist points out. But these compounds should be used with care, since they may damage leaves. Avoid spraying in hot weather and use a spreader-sticker to lessen spray damage.

Leaf spots may also occur during the growing season, causing premature loss of leaves. If such loss continues, it may weaken shrubs and make them more susceptible to other troubles.

A good spray program plus proper fertilization and watering will help improve the health of shrubs,

Cultural Notes BOHEMIAN GLASS, ITS PAST TRADITIONS, PRESENT AND FUTURE Bohemian glass — that is no longer the mere designation of the country of origin of the glass manufactured in the Czechoslovak glass works in Bohemia. It is really a world-renowned name, which expresses primarily the artistically exquisite and truly perfect moulding and shaping of the glass substance — no matter which glassmaking procedure has been involved.

The origin of this name and particularly the explanation just given are by no means incidental or unjustified.

The Czechoslovak glass industry has very old traditions. One can say without exaggeration that glass making in the Czechoslovak Republic is one of the oldest branches of specialization in man's creative work in general. The first archaeological evidence available confirms the existence of glass production on the territory of present-day Czechoslovakia at the early stage of the bronze age, i.e. approximately 1700 years before the Christian era. The first written evidence about glass production in Bohemia can be found in.

Latin annals dated 1162. Since then, Bohemian glass and its production have been mentioned quite frequently in annals, records and various treatises.

The original Bohemian glass was, in essence, of a potassium character. The ingredients used for its manufacture were ground flint and beech-wood ashes. The high percentage of iron contained in the flint sand and in the ashes caused the glass to be of a green • shade. Because of this green color and particularly due to the if act that the "place of birth" was the; forest, it used to be called "forest glass." In the 15th century we do come• across colorless glass, but only exceptionally, when the glassmakers had taken the pains to remove the coloring factors by means of a tedious purification process, which involved cleaning the sand and the ashes and using various chemicals; however, it was not until the 16th and particularly the 17th century that hollow Bohemian glass, made of quite colorless, transparent and crystal-like substance, started to appear on the European market. This substance was the Bohemian crystal glass. which placed the Czech glassmakers foremost in the world. In the further development of the technology of Bohemian glass, and important place is

18 occupied by the production of lead crystal, of sodium-potassium glass, and gradually of a large variety of glass containing ingredients of many different elements in numerous combinations, which determined the quality of the glass concerned and its practical purpose.

The oldest methods of shaping glass substance included the production of colorless as well as colored little wheels which were joined together with lead and thus made into window panes.

Then came sheet glass, at first in small sizes. This was followed by the production of hollow glass: cups, chalices, tumblers, vases, alchemists' apparatuses, etc. In the past, the greatest fame was attained by Czech glassmakers in the production of Gothic cathedral windows and articles made from hollow glass, richly decorated with, cutting and engraving. At present, the various ways of shaping glass substance have increased very considerably in number, and an equally great increase has been recorded in the variety of ways of decorating glass.

What actually increased even more in the course of the process of development was the variety of different forms of utilization and application of glass. Glass substance is no longer merely a material suitable for the manufacture of items for practical use.

Apart from Bohemian crystal, shaped into various forms of table and decorative glass, adorned with the worldfamous Czech cutting and grinding, unparallelled in richness and precision of its arnamentation, world renown has been gained by Bohemian crystal chandeliers, blown-glass figurines, Christmas tree decoratoins, as well ac by Bohemian glass costume jewelry. But equal fame has been attained in the present era by Bohemian technical and laboratory glass, sets of items either freely moulded by hand or ground from foundry glass, sparkling with a wide range of colors, or compositions of miniature figures, and most recently plastic works in glass, or colored, stained and etched artistic panes.

Bohemian glass is known throughout the world and has a permanent place on the commercial markets of all countries. The richness of the creative invention of Czech glassmakers — plastic artists and technicians — combined with the great skill and sensitive feeling of the craftsmen and wonkens, Tully guarantees that the name "Bohemian Glass" will continue

NaA milt' bratr odeAel neoeekavane 4. prosince. Vyjel si na, hon se svYmi prateli do Blanco. Jeli s nim jeho nejlepAi pratele Charlie Orsak a John Slovaoek, Odpoledne Ali do svYch stanu a na weer Ali do baraku, Ze budou hrat domino.

Jerry rikal,ze si nejpr y spravi postel a, Ze prijde hned zpatky hilt domino.

KdVZ se pork' nevracel, Ali se podivat co se mu stalo, naAli na posteli a vic ho nezbudili. Byla to pro ne smutna chvile.

My, sestry a bratri jeho, davdme srdeeny dik Charlie Orsakovi a John Slovaekovi, Ze se o nej tak peelive starali i tem, co za nim.pkijeli. Diky vAem. Jerry mel mnoho prateln, mel peknY pohreb farad' John Gantt. Zpevaci zazpivall pisne JiZ tedy s Bohem jdi, a "The Many Mansions", a ku konci "Face To Face". VAem rodina dekuje za vAecko, Krest'anskYm sestrdm za ji.(110, za kviti, vAeckYm ostatnim za navAtevu a projeveni soustrasti.

Jerry byl v armade od roku 1942 do 1945. Belem cele valky byl stale pri velikem nebezpeed, take byl nejakY eas nezvestnY (missing in action) ale vAecko prezil, jen 2e ztratil na jedno ucho sluch nasledkem ran z kanonu.

0 rezu ritii a o krovinach s kvety At' delame jakoukoli praci, v2dy si j i musime nalaite roz yaZit a pripravit se na ni. V zahradkarstvi je to tim proto2e jde o einnost amaterskou, pri niZ se pracuje s Zivym materialem. Rostliny jsou velmi citlive na kaZdY zasah do jejich 2ivota. Nekdy se da chyba napravit, ale vkly to trva velmi dlouho. Proto z ylaSte pri Cezu, at' ovocnych stromu nebo okrasnYch kern, postupujeme velmi opatrne a vZdy vyzbrojeni nejen teorii, ale hlavne praktickYmi poznatky ziskanYmi u zkuSenych pestiteln.

V jednom z lonskYch eisel jsme si kekli neco o tom, na jake druhove skupiny raze rozdelujeme. Pripomerime si nektere z nich jako jsou eajohybridy, luteahybridy (hybrid — kiTZenec), pernetky, parkove 111M, polyantky, pnouci remontantky, eajovky apod. dobre jednotlive skupiny, vime, take, k jakemu neelu se nejlepe hodi, a podle toho ridime rez. Eezem toti.Z podstatne oylivimjerne predevAim kvetenstvi. eajohybridy, luteahybridy a remontantky jsou rune, u nichC chceme dosahnout co nejvetAiho kvetenstvi.

Proto je re2eme I/My kratce, to znamend, ze sesadime korunku asi o dve tretiny. Soueasne korunku radne prosvetlime, aby kakla zkracena, vetevka mela dostatek mista a hla yne, aby toto misto mely vAechny yetey ky nove, ktere vyrostou z ponechanYch oeek, a zbyteene si nekonkurovaly. Silne letorosty zkracujeme mirneji (4-5 oeek), slabe letorosty silneji (na 1 oeko).

Polyantky, parkove rune a eajoyky neserezavame tak silne jako predeAle, ale zmenAujeme jim kapacitu korunky asi o tretinu az polovinu. Silne leto rosty sezazujeme na 10 — 15 oeek, slabe °pet na jedno oeko. Parkove raze take o getrovat tim zpilsobem, ze je neserezavame vfibec, ale kezdy rok z nich vystrihavarne vAechny partie odurntele a zestarle, podob-

7 ne jako je tomu u ruzi pnoucich. Ty museji mit co rnoZn„ nejdelk vYhonY, a proto starsi letorosty nechavame v cele jejich deice. Soueasne se starame o novY obrost tim, Ze slabk letorosty zkracujeme na jedno oeko, talde si stale vytvatime dostatek novYch, mladych, silnYch vYhonti.. Zestarle vyhony odstranujeme opine. Ride i'0,eme vkly v predjari, ne2 zaenou rakt. Nejlepe se k tomu hodi dvojseene rifdky.

A nyni nekolik sloe o okrasnYch kerich s kvety. PCi jejich vYberu je east() zahradkar bezradnY, protole jsou to rostliny, ktere vysazujeme na dlouha leta. Pamatujme hlavne, Ze eim vetSi vzdalenost jednotlivYch kern, tim bohateji kvetou, tim vice vynikne jejich krasa a lope se vyvijeji.

Aka. — nejde o znamY mohutnY strom, ale o to formu stromu nebo kere, jez dosahuje maxim. vYSky tri metro nema trny. Zato ma velke rfiZove kvety, ktere nevoni. Ma krehke vetve, a proto jej sazime na mista chranena proti vetrum.

6ilimnik odvislY je niZA1 stromek nebo ker s hladkYmi yetvemi. Ma trojelenne listy a velike Eute kvety v bohatych pre yislYch hroznech.

Aaeme ji po od.kvetu.

Hloh pinokvety se pestuje v zahradach jako ker nebo niZAi stromek. Kvete vetAinou rii‘Zove, ale i bile.

Jasmin — (spravne pustoryl) se pestuje v zahradach pro siine vonne, bile kvety. MC znaene odrud, ktere se liAi hlavne velikosti kveta. Roste vAude a ize jej vhodne kombinovat s jinYmi krovinami.

Kalina ma bohate, huste kulovite kvetenstvi. Proto se ji lidove rika "snehoyd koule". Pestuje se jako ker nebo nizkY stromek.

Jedoule japonska dosahuje vYAky asi dvon metrn, Ma rtZove az eervene kvety, ktere bYvali jednoduche nebo jlne a rozvijeji se brzo na jate. Sazime ji jednotlive do travniku.

Rozjela jsem se na Hodoninsko, do kraje bohateho na lidove pisne a kroje. 0 kaadem miste, nieste, vesnici, zvycich jsou pisne. Tak tedy:

V Hadonine za vojaeka mne vzali se zpiva.

Vojaky jsem tam nevidela, ale pri 'prochazce po hodoninskem namesti patrily me vzporninky varn, krajanko Sabaleikova. Vy i dalh krajane mne poslali v rn sta, ktera, jsou mnohym Moravandm v eizine draha a blizka.

Psala jste, ac kdybyste mohla zaeit a 45, 50 let drive, neSla byste do ciziny.

Za to leta jste o zkuSenosti bohat'Si a vase rodne mesto jinaei, Hodonin, kterY se za vaSich case nemecky jmenoval GOding, neni u g eilVm obchodnim st •ediskem na testa do Uher, ale centrem okresu, rnestem s 20.000 obyvateli. Kolem kostela svateho Vavrince je runny autamobilovY provoz, ye vYkkidnich skrinich novinky televizorti, praeek, lednieek.

V ueriovskern stredisku restauraci Beseda je pino. lIodoninSti tvrdi, ae tady se vari a obsluhuje nejlepe a nejlevneji. Davam jim za pravclu, pochutnala jsem si tam take.

Zajimala jsem se pak o hodoninske novinky z pramyslu. Dovedela jsem se toho hodne z okresnich novin "Slovacko", z brohir i od domorodca. Z nekdej. iho prtimyslu tovarny na tabak, S sklarn.y v LUZieich, zavociu Kdfferle, =oho po race 1945 nezastalo. Byly zastarale a nektere z nich jate valkou

Hodoninsko je take krajem zemedelskY,M a zemedelstvi, to je take vinarstvi. Proto jsme se ocitli v eejkovicich, obci neclaleko Hodonina, ktera patti mezi znaine vinarske oboe. Jsou tady v blizkem okcli vesnice, ktere maji tolik vinnYch sklepa, kolik j e disel domu.

Nechali jsme si ryzlink a pak zase tramin valet po jazyku, krajan Sakaf se rozpovidal o jugosla yskYch ocirad.ach a pak nas vinari zkouSell, uhadnemeli, ktere vino je Neuburg a Mere Miller.
