nesday, May 24, 1967 MAY 30 — MEMORIAL, DAY May 30th is Memorial Day, first officially observed in honor of the nation's war dead at Washington, D.C., 95 years ago — in 1868. Memorial Day, or Decoration Day, began during the Civil War when Southern women in Vicksburg and Columbus, Mississippi, and Charleston, South Carolina, decorated Union as well as Confederate graves. When Mayor John A. Logan became commander of the postwar Grand Army of the Republic, he issued on May 5, 1868, his famous orch‘c "That every post of the Grand Army should hold suitable exercises and decorate the graves of their dead comrades with flowers — Let no ravages of time testify to coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided Republic." May 30th, a time when floWers are at their best, was chosen as the date. and the first Memorial observance was held in Washington. Ambulances carried flowers to Arlington Cemetery from the Botanic Garden, the Treasury grounds, and the President's - conservatory and private gardens. General Ulysses S. Grant, presidential nominee, was in the stands, and General James A. Garfield, then in Congress but later to become President, gave the oration.

Each year, on Memorial Day, the American people grace the graves of their fallen heroes, in tribute to the thousands of these heroes, and in their hearts, recall the young man or youn g woman who lay down his life in a. faraway land, in defense of his Homeland.

American mothers especially. approach this day with heavy hearts, but with a proud heart to go to the graves and lay flowers or wreaths on their fallen sons. If this is not possible, then they pay tribute with memori( s and prayers, going back, in a fleeting moment, to the final restin!r, place of their loved one.

It is fitting and proper th:]1 ibis clay in May be set aside to pay homage and respect to our fallen dead — to those who gave the last measure of devotion in order to preserve this free land of ours. Thank God for it!

These honored dead deserve our tributes and respect, and our gratitude.

We must never forget them!

MAY 30 — MEMORIAL DAY May 30th is Memorial Day, first of- ficially observed in honor of the nation's war dead at Washington, D.C., 95 years ago --- in 1868. Memorial Day, or Decoration Day, began during the Civil War when Southern women in Vicksburg and Columbus, Mississippi, and Charleston, South Carolina, decorated Union as well as Confederate graves. When Mayor John A. Logan became commander of the postwar Grand Army of the Republic, he issued on May 5, 1868, his famous order 'That every post of the Grand Army should hold suitable exercises and decorate the graves of their dead comrades with flowers — Let no ravages of time testify to coming g enerations that we have forgotteri as a people the cost of a free and undivided Republic." May 30th, a time when Hewers are at their best, Was chosen as the date, and the first Memorial observance was held in Washington. Ambulances carried flowers to Arlington Cemetery from the Botanic Garden, the Treasury grounds, and the President's' conservatory and private gardens. General Ulysses S. Grant, presidential nominee, was in the stands, and General James A. Garfield, then in Congress but later to become President, .gave the oration.

Each year, on Memorial Day, the American people grace the graves of their fallen heroes, in tribute to the thousands of these heroes, and in their hearts, recall the young man or young woman who lay down his life in a faraway land, in defense of his Homeland.

Ainerican mothers especially, approach this day with heavy hearts, but with a proud heart to go to the graves and lay flowers or wreaths on their fallen sons. If this is not possible, then they pay tribute with memories and prayers, goihg back, in a fleeting moment, to the final resting place of their loved one.

It is fitting and proper that this clay in May be set aside to pay homage and respect to our fallen dead — to those who gave the last measure of devotion in order to preserve this free land of ours. Thank God for it!

These honored dead deserve our tributes and respect, and our gratitude.

We must never forget them!

The observation has been made before in this column that the current conflict in Viet Nam is getting dosser to all of us. Our SPJST has been touched directly with the deaths of four of our young members so far. The

Wednesday, May 24, 1967 Viet Nam War may not be technically a war. Call it what 'you like, declaration of war or not, young men are still dying in that far-off jungle, and you don't have to convince the relatives of those who have so far made the supreme sacrifice that the war is real. (We hope to start our special tribute to these four members with the next issue).

Their sacrifices should serve as reminders to people of good will everywhere, to be ever on guard to protect the precious heritage that they helped preserve.

Memorial Day is in tribute to ALL fallen Americans in all encounters since this country was born on the shores of Jamestown, Virginia. Let not this day be blemished by gawdy displays of jubilation and fanfare, but instead be dedicated in solemnity to those who so richly deserve everlasting gratitude.

Finally, we offer this well-known poem, written during World War I, but which conveys, we think, appropriate thoughts for this clay! (If you've never visited a military cemetery; you have a moving experience awaiting you).

• • •INFLANDERS FIELD

By John McCrae In Flanders field, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; And in the sky the larks, Still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie in Flanders field.

Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high, If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders field.

(This poem was written in the spring of 1915, after the terrible battle of Ypres, France. It expresses very truly how men felt in those days of the first World War. It was first published in "Punch," and became popular in the armies and throughout the war-torn world. John McCrae was a young Canadian doctor, who lost his life in service in Flanders in January, 1918.

Flanders is a district comprising a western section of Belgium, a northern area of France, and southwest Holland).

A committee appointed to design the float , consisted of Sisters Helen Bryson, Emilie Kolaja, Winifred Susen, Bessie Franek, Judith Zapalac, and Lillie Mae Toon. A great deal of planning and work went into the float, and it took the efort of these several members to get it completed in time.

Special credit should go, however, to our youth leader, Sister Bryson, who devoted more time than anyone else to make the project a success.

Dear Members, It seems that everywhere I go I hear Lodge 88 Splash Day being discussed, and this I like, and I like even more to answer such questions as: "Is it really true that the LeeRoy Matocha and Vrazel Orchestras will battle it out at the 2 to 10 p.m. dance on S plash Day?" "Is the lodge serving one of those delicious barbecued beef dinners that it has become so famous for?" A big 'YES' to both of these questions, and I can assure you that will be some battle dance between these two well-known and well-liked orchestras whose followers come' from far distant places to dance to their good music! I don't have to say anything about the dinner; if you have eaten one of our beef barbecue dinners, then you know how good they are! And don't forget that all this will be taking place at Lodge 88 on Sunday, June 11th!

We surely have some mighty good dances coming up - before that great

I don't have to say anything about the dinner; if you have eaten one of our beef barbecue dinners, then you know hoW good they are! And don't forget that all this will be taking place at Lodge 88 on Sunday, June 11th!

We surely have some mighty good dances coming up - before that great

I hope all you mothers had a very happy Mother's Day. I know that Lee Roy Matocha helped to make it a happier day for my mother, Mrs. Frank Krejci of Weimar, by playing and dedicating to her one of her favorite songs at the Mother's Day dance! Even though many were out of town on this clay, popular LeeRoy, with his likeable personality and ins fine musicians, drew a good crowd, and they came from far to enjoy dancing to his husic! These LeeRoy Matocha Sunday dances with their Beer Busts have become quite popular, and we will continue having them once a month.

Names in the News: A group of friends of Rita Bros helped her celebrate her birthday at the Knights of Dixie dance! Viola Cox was selling the tickets at the Spaghetti Supper on Thursday. It really was delicious, so don't forget we have the Spaghetti Supper every Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m., right before the social, which is also enjoyed by no many!

SALES REPORT PROM DISTRICT 5 Precious four months of 1907 are in the past. These four months account for one-third of our allotted time to meet our quota of $2,910,000 for this year. We are trailing and behind on our p roduction, compared to the same thine last year. It is not alarming, but it is always safe to stay one step ahead and keep a safe distance. Our slack consists of a. shortage of $477,025, which is more than one month's production. But I have confidence in you faithful workers, that YOU and your conscience will not permit us to fail in District 5. The next eight months will have to bring in the minimum of $1,995,500 to barely meet and pass our quota. Therefore, I urge each and everyone of you sister and brother organizers to get your prospect list out and comb through your established members. Call on them; you might be surprised to find they need more insurance or have a new addition in the family. They might know a friend who is interested in becoming a member and part of our group socially. •Explore every possibility; you never can be sure until you hear the word "no". As long as you are not completely rejected there is always the possibility to gain a member.

We must feel the importance of the product we offer to our prospects. We must also make them feel the urgency of protection. Youi are in a field that offers security for a happy retirement, protects families from wanting necessities in the event of tragedy.

You must believe that what you are offering is the best. Our 70 years of existence gives us a feeling of pride to

Bro. James Janousek, met with us and stated how Lodge 117 was the first to host in such a fine manner, and location.

At this seminar Bro. Janousek explained the YAD, points system, and questions were asked and answered.

The Youth Communicator was fully discussed because in this latest issue the rules and regulations appear, so that our youth may refer to them in our new year, which begins on June 1.

Everyone present enjoyed a most pleasant evening. The food was delicious, including the service by the Tally Ho personnel.

A youth seminar of Dist. VII will be held at a later date.

SALES REPORT PROM DISTRICT 5 Precious four months of 1907 are in the past. These four months account for one-third of our allotted time to meet our quota of $2,910,000 for this year. We are trailing and behind on our p roduction, compared to the same thine last year. It is not alarming, but it is always safe to stay one step ahead and keep a safe distance. Our slack consists of a. shortage of $477,025, which is more than one month's production. But I have confidence in you faithful workers, that YOU and your conscience will not permit us to fail in District 5. The next eight months will have to bring in the minimum of $1,995,500 to barely meet and pass our quota. Therefore, I urge each and everyone of you sister and brother organizers to get your prospect list out and comb through your established members. Call on them; you might be surprised to find they need more insurance or have a new addition in the family. They might know a friend who is interested in becoming a member and part of our group socially. •Explore every possibility; you never can be sure until you hear the word "no". As long as you are not completely rejected there is always the possibility to gain a member.

We must feel the importance of the product we offer to our prospects. We must also make them feel the urgency of protection. Youi are in a field that offers security for a happy retirement, protects families from wanting necessities in the event of tragedy.

You must believe that what you are offering is the best. Our 70 years of existence gives us a feeling of pride to

Wednesday, May 24, 1967 be a part of our great fraternal order and know that somewhere down the line we had a part in building it. This year our 171 lodges will celebrate the 70th anniversary of our SPJST. Let's make it an outstanding year to be remembered for years to come.

Now I have the pleasure of listing the names of organizers who produced during the past four months: Organizer

50th Anniversary Celebration

YOUTH SECTION FROM THE LODGE YOUTH 'LEADERS LODGE NO. 30, TAITON Dear Members and Friends, As the youth year is coming to a close I will try and write a few lines.

Our club is still busy, especially this month, since May is Senior Citizen month, and the club has been asked to different functions. We could not accept all with school work and finals coming to an end.

We will have our field day Sunday, May 28, which everyone is looking forward to. It will begin at 2 p.m., so I hope all members will be there on time. Different things are planned for the afternoon. District Youth Director Elsie Brdecka will be with us.

All our talent is set and looking forward to YAD. The individual talent, 6-9, is Glen Kahanek; 10-12, Monica Merta; 13-15, Jimmie Fucik; and 16-19 Bennie Krpec.

Our royalty will be: Patricia Janik - queen; Frankie Peter - king. Duchess will be Judy Dluhos, and chosen as duke is Clarence Kahanek, so there will be a lot of rehearsals.

We will also have two groups, ages 10-12, and 13-15. I don't know how many in crafts. We will see you' at Hu ngerford Fraternally, Mrs. J. W. , Krutilek -SPJST-z-LODGE NO. 40, BILLIE Dear Readers, Well, the month of May is fast coming to an end. That means that I will have to send off all the point score sheets. Some of you children did real well from the start, but dropped off at the end.

In our June meeting we will have to finish plans for our talent for the YAD. Those who will bring crafts, please send in your entry blanks to Mrs. Brdecka as soon as possible.

Since I will serve as youth leader from June 1967, until June 1968, I ask the cooperation of all the children and adults, because that is the only way things can be done if people work hand in hand. So I hope everyone will feel free to come to me with new and good ideas.

May 12, 1967.

Temple, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: of our By-Laws, is taken This report, as directed by Article 39, Section from our 1966 Annual Statement.

The various items in this report are designated by exhibit numbers, exactly as found in the annual statement, which was filed with the State Commissioners of Insurance in February, 1967.

EXHIBIT I. This exhibit represents the increases and decreases of our assets on cash basis as taken from the Annual Statement. It shows an increase of $686,782.63 for the year 1966.

EXHIBIT II. This exhibit is figured on an accrual basis, as required by the State Board of Insurance. This exhibit itself takes a lot of time to complete, due to the fact that every item has to be figured separately and all the interest is calculated to the end of the fiscal year. This item shows a net gain from operation for the year in the amount of $199,700.38.

EXHIBIT HI. This exhibit shows the assets and liabilities combined with the cash and accrual method, with the life certificate reserves figured by the actuary. All the figures are first tested and refigured before they are entered in the State Insurance Report. The $100,000.00 securities valuation reserves and the $50,000.00 special reserves are added protection to our policyholders.

EXHIBIT IV. This exhibit shows the increases and decreases in the mortgage loans, giving you a complete account by showing the number of farm and city loans and the amount outstanding.

We issued a total of $3,378 certificates for $6,825,739.00 of insurance - from this amount we deduct 2821 death claims, 83 maturities (this represents endowments paid off, such as JE, 15-year and 20-year, etc.), 125 expiry (this consists mostly of JT policies that are converted to adult class and also extended term insurance that expired), 305 surrenders, (this consists of policies that withdrew, but have reserves.

50th Anniversary Celebration

YOUTH SECTION FROM THE LODGE YOUTH 'LEADERS LODGE NO. 30, TAITON Dear Members and Friends, As the youth year is coming to a close I will try and write a few lines.

Our club is still busy, especially this month, since May is Senior Citizen month, and the club has been asked to different functions. We could not accept all with school work and finals coming to an end.

We will have our field day Sunday, May 28, which everyone is looking forward to. It will begin at 2 p.m., so I hope all members will be there on time. Different things are planned for the afternoon. District Youth Director Elsie Brdecka will be with us.

All our talent is set and looking forward to YAD. The individual talent, 6-9, is Glen Kahanek; 10-12, Monica Merta; 13-15, Jimmie Fucik; and 16-19 Bennie Krpec.

Our royalty will be: Patricia Janik - queen; Frankie Peter - king. Duchess will be Judy Dluhos, and chosen as duke is Clarence Kahanek, so there will be a lot of rehearsals.

We will also have two groups, ages 10-12, and 13-15. I don't know how many in crafts. We will see you' at Hu ngerford Fraternally, Mrs. J. W. , Krutilek -SPJST-z-LODGE NO. 40, BILLIE Dear Readers, Well, the month of May is fast coming to an end. That means that I will have to send off all the point score sheets. Some of you children did real well from the start, but dropped off at the end.

In our June meeting we will have to finish plans for our talent for the YAD. Those who will bring crafts, please send in your entry blanks to Mrs. Brdecka as soon as possible.

Since I will serve as youth leader from June 1967, until June 1968, I ask the cooperation of all the children and adults, because that is the only way things can be done if people work hand in hand. So I hope everyone will feel free to come to me with new and good ideas.

May 12, 1967.

Temple, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: of our By-Laws, is taken This report, as directed by Article 39, Section from our 1966 Annual Statement.

The various items in this report are designated by exhibit numbers, exactly as found in the annual statement, which was filed with the State Commissioners of Insurance in February, 1967.

EXHIBIT I. This exhibit represents the increases and decreases of our assets on cash basis as taken from the Annual Statement. It shows an increase of $686,782.63 for the year 1966.

EXHIBIT II. This exhibit is figured on an accrual basis, as required by the State Board of Insurance. This exhibit itself takes a lot of time to complete, due to the fact that every item has to be figured separately and all the interest is calculated to the end of the fiscal year. This item shows a net gain from operation for the year in the amount of $199,700.38.

EXHIBIT HI. This exhibit shows the assets and liabilities combined with the cash and accrual method, with the life certificate reserves figured by the actuary. All the figures are first tested and refigured before they are entered in the State Insurance Report. The $100,000.00 securities valuation reserves and the $50,000.00 special reserves are added protection to our policyholders.

EXHIBIT IV. This exhibit shows the increases and decreases in the mortgage loans, giving you a complete account by showing the number of farm and city loans and the amount outstanding.

EXHIBIT V. This exhibit explains the income from interest, dividends, and. rents and royalties. • EXIRIBIT VI. This exhibit is a complete breakdown of certificates issued during the year. We issued a total of $3,378 certificates for $6,825,739.00 of insurance - from this amount we deduct 2821 death claims, 83 maturities (this represents endowments paid off, such as JE, 15-year and 20-year, etc.), 125 expiry (this consists mostly of JT policies that are converted to adult class and also extended term insurance that expired), 305 surrenders, (this consists of policies that withdrew, but have reserves. We pay off the member full amount of reserves and cancel out the insurance risk), 852 lapses (policies that withdraw, either directly, or through suspension and expulsion, but do not have any reserves, also new issues that were refused). You will note that from the 3,378 Certificates issued, we subtract 1647 certificates (explained in the above paragraph) and this leaves us a gain of 1731 certificates for $3,037,915.00 of insurance.

The progress chart follows and represents the progress of our Order from the year 1904 to 12-31-66.

I urge you members to study this report and to save this copy of the Vestnik for future use. Oftentimes, you may have an occasion to refer back to our Annual Statement, and therefore, if you keep this copy it may prove to be very useful to you.

This valuation progress report is very similar to the Dunnes and the Comparative Reports, which we mail to our Organizers. These pocket folders are very helpful in selling insurance and the information in these folders is taken from our Annual Statement.

LODGE NO. 130, DALLAS Dear Readers, Our lodge 130 youth club meeting was held Sunday, May 7. Before the meeting we played miniature golf. It was lots of fun, even though we came back with a lot of sun burned faces.

Elections for the coming year were held. Those elected were: President - David Novotny Vice President - Daryl Parma Secretary - Marilyn Parma Treasurer - Mary Frances Novotny.

May I take this opportunity to invite all the youth clubs to our lodge's 50th anniversary celebration to be held Sunday, May 28. There will be a barbecue dinner at 12 noon, and a memorial program at 2. At 7 p.m. there will be three combos playing for the

teen dance. The combos are The Nocturtles," The Inquisitions," and "The Psychedelic Blues." Y'all come and have a great time!

Fraternally, Teresa Vrla, Secretary.

LODGE NO. 40, IOLLJE Dear Readers, Our June meeting will be l)chl on Tuesday, June 6, at 7:30 p.m., at the Hillje Hall.

A big "thank you" to Lodge No. 40 for the nice donation to our youth club. Last year was real good; I know this one will be even better.

I know everyone is busy making plans for the YAD on Sunday, Tune 18, which will be held at Hungerfo •d. By

LODGE NO, 40, MUM Dear Readers, It seems that my letter or wednesday, May 11, had some people confused.

I now want to set it straight.

Although the children voted in Mrs. Chuck Schwartzkopf as youth leader in the May meeting, she cannot be our youth leader because the adult members have to elect the youth leader. That is the reason I put Mrs. Victor Knebel's name in my last letter, since the mother lodge elected her. In ease someone is still in doubt, please call your youth leader, or read the May Communicator. All the rules are in there.

The June meeting will be an lin portant one.

Fraternally, Diane -Kriebel (Ft) LODGE NO. 1, HALLETTSVILLE Dear Readers, On Friday, May 12, Lodge 4 held its meetin g. The lodge held their meeting first, been the youth club held theirs.

The vice president called the meeting to order. We elected the duke, duchess, queen and king. Then we drew for the door p•izes. These went to Mrs. Frances Mikush and Kathy Zak. The birthday cake to Mrs. Annie Holy. Then we bad a social.

Fraternally yours, Charlene Sklar (13), Vice President LI.1111;fi, NO. 13, DUDE IIOX /ear Readers, I can't wait mail our next; meeting on May 21. Our, district youth director will meet with us. I hope everyone will be present.

Fraternally, Marlene Borate (12), President LODGE NO. 3, DIME HOK Dear Readers, We had a wiener roast on may 6 at Mr. and Mrs. Albert Kubena's farm.

Everyone had fun there. Our youth clula had the cold drink stand at the trail ride dance at Dime Box on May 10.

LODGE NO. 130, DALLAS Dear Readers, Our lodge 130 youth club meeting was held Sunday, May 7. Before the meeting we played miniature golf. It was lots of fun, even though we came back with a lot of sun burned faces.

A big "thank you" to Lodge No. 40 for the nice donation to our youth club. Last year was real good; I know this one will be even better.

I know everyone is busy making plans for the YAD on Sunday, Tune 18, which will be held at Hungerfo •d. By

LODGE NO, 40, MUM Dear Readers, It seems that my letter or wednesday, May 11, had some people confused.

I now want to set it straight.

Although the children voted in Mrs. Chuck Schwartzkopf as youth leader in the May meeting, she cannot be our youth leader because the adult members have to elect the youth leader. That is the reason I put Mrs. Victor Knebel's name in my last letter, since the mother lodge elected her. In ease someone is still in doubt, please call your youth leader, or read the May Communicator. All the rules are in there.

The June meeting will be an lin portant one.

Fraternally, Diane -Kriebel (Ft) LODGE NO. 1, HALLETTSVILLE Dear Readers, On Friday, May 12, Lodge 4 held its meetin g. The lodge held their meeting first, been the youth club held theirs.

Fraternally, Frank Klinkovsky, Jr., Membership Chairman -SPJSTFeatures PEOPLE AND LANDS OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA

by Jimmie Fucik (14), Lodge 30, Taiton, District 6, SPJST Czechoslovakia is the land of the Czechs and the Slovaks, two closely related Slavic people. The Czechs live in Bohemia and Moravia, the western part of Czechoslovakia. The Slovaks live in the east, in Slovakia. The land's full name is "The Republic of Czechoslovakia." The capital and also the largest city is Prague.

Czechoslovakia has very many rugged snow-capped mountains, rounded hills and rolling plains. The natural resources included black, fertile farm land, and minerals. The whole country is almost as large as New York and has a population of less than 3,000,000 people. Czechoslovakia is a long narrow slipper-shaped country. Germany

Wednesday, May 24, 1967 lies west and northwest of the country.

Poland lies to the north. Its natural regions are Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia. These areas are its former political divisions.

The small part of Czechoslovakia near Ostrava, drained by the oder River is often considered part of Upper Silesia.

The low area between the mountains that join the Oder Valley with the Morava Valley is called the Moravian Gate.

Slovakia is in the eastern part of the country, has the highest monutains, the Tatras which reach heights of more than 8,000 feet.

The Vltava River flows into the Elbe.

The Elbe then flews northwest through Germany to the North Sea, draining most of Bohemia. The Danube flows south and east to the Black Sea. There are no large lakes in Czechoslovakia, but there are many small ones high in the mountain valleys.

Western Bohemia, southern Moravia, and Slovakia all have deposits of coal. Northeastern Moravia contains iron ore. Czechoslovakia also has deposits of graphite, manganese, lead, zinc, mercury, silver and gold. Other mineral resaurces include uranium clay, and sand used for making glass.

The soil of Czechoslovakia is one of its most important resources. Almost half of the land in the country can be farmed.

Forests cover one of every three acres. Czechoslovakia has large resources of water power. The government has built hydroelectric plants on many of the rivers. Many , of the dams provide water for farming, as well as electric power.

Czechoslovakia lies about as far north of the equator as southern Canada. Its climate is much like southern canada's, with warm summers and cold winters. Temperature averages 20 degrees F. in January, and 70 degrees F in July. The country has from 20 to 40 inches of rainfall each year.

The people of Czechoslovakia include two major groups, the Czechs and Slovaks. Both groups are of Slavic origin. The Moravians are related to the Czechs and speak the same language. There are about three times as many Czechs as Slovaks in the country. The Slovaks, Moravians, and Czechs are united by a common "love of art" and of age-old traditions.

LIFE. BELTS FACE TESTS

BY WARDENS Extraordinary care is being taken by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to safeguard water recreational buffs and also to protect them from penalties provided for failure to comply with life preserver regulations.

State game wardens, empowered by the water safety law to enforce safety provisions, are checking unusually close, according to the Department, to "determine that all water borne persons have access to the proper type of life preservers.

Above all, wardens have been instructed to strictly apply the safety code so far as it directly affects individuals.

Here is the official treatment of the life preserver requirements: "This term encompasses life preservers, buoyant vests, buoyant cushions, ring life buoys and special purpose water safety buoyant devices. Any Of these devices are acceptable on motorboats less than 40 feet in length not carrying passengers for hire. Vessels carrying passengers for hire must Carry life preservers. Class 3 motorboats (40 to not more than 65 feet) laot carrying passengers for hire must

carry life preservers or ring life buoys.

A motorboat towing water skiers must be prepared to take the skier on board at any time because of accident, sea conditions, skier fatigue or other causes. Accordingly, water skiers shall be counted as "persons on board" when determining the number of lifesaving devices required by motorboats towing skiers. At least 1 lifesaving device is required for each person on board.

"Lifesaving devices must have the Coast Guard approval number stamped on either the device itself or on a label sewn onto the device. Just having "Coast Guard Approved" written on the device is not sufficient. Kapok or fibrous glass lifesaving devices are not considered serviceable unless they are encased in sealed plastic bags. Cork or balsa wood life preservers are no longer approved by the Coast Guard; however, those preservers having been manufactured and labeled .before the effective date of the approval suspension are approved until such time as they become unserviceable. There are a lot of these life preservers in service at this time and if they are stamped wiht the Coast Guard approval number, they are acceptable.

"Kapok or fibrous glass life preservers can be checked for serviceability by applying pressure to the flotation part of the preserver. If they collapse under normal pressure, then apparently there is a hole in the plastic bag and they would not be considered serviceable. All life preservers are checked for serviceability by the condition of the flotation itself, the straps, and the condition of the fabric. If the fabric is rotted or torn to the extent that it will not properly hold the flotation material, then it is no longer serviceable.

"All lifesaving devices on board must be • readily accessible to the persons aboard the boat. If they are in unopened shipping bags, display boxes, store containers or stowed in cabins, or locked in deck boxes or otherwise concealed, they are not readily acceptable.

Rowboats and rafts and other water crafts not considered motorboats are not included under the provisions of the life preserver article."

It took 111/2 years of grinding to remove 51/2 tons of glass from the 2,0 ton mirror now used in the 200 inch telescope on Mt. Palomar, California.

PADISM

ze zahrady presidenta a soukromYch majiteln byly dopraveny na Arlington Cemetery ambulancemi. Oslavy neastnil se mimo jine vynikajici osoby i general Ulysses S. Grant, republikanskY kandidat do firadu presidenta, a reenikem dne byl general James A. Garfield, kterY se pozdeji stal presidentem SpojenYch Od tech cash bylo proneseno mnoho reel u prilelitosti oslavy Dne veneeni hrobii. Jednou z nejdojemn6j S : ich byl proslov presidenta Franklina D. Roosevelta, na. bojiSti v Gettysburgu roku 1934. Mluve o obeanske valce, konstatoval tehdejSi president, Ze "tragedii naroda bylo, lide se navzajem neznali".

ZylaSte americke matky prichazeji s bolesti, ale i s hrdosti v srdci k hrobtim padlYch svYeli synit a zdobi je kvetina,mi na dtikaz sve lasky nebo kdy nemohou, tak aspon ye vzpominkach modlitbach zaletaji do dalky, na mista posledniho odpoeinku s yYch nejdra2-

Americky narod kaZdeho roku o Dni zdobeni hrobu sla ynostne, manifestaane, s vdeenosti v srdeich vzpomina syYch padlYch neseetnYch hrdinu, kteri v nejruznejsich koneinach zeme i daleko od vlasti poloZili sve Zivoty za idealy svobody, a aby jejich potomci mohli. Ziti v mime okolnosti.

30. kvetna vzpomenou Americane pamatky mniu, kteri obeto yali zivot na obranu vlasti. Bode to devadesatY Sesty "Memorial Day", den pietnich cslav a zdobeni hrobti ye SpojenYch statech i v zahraniei, kde Americana naSli misto posledniho odpoeinku.

Na vojenskYch hi• itovech v Anglii, Francii, Belgii, Holandsku, ko. Italii, several Africe, na Filipinach i v Mexiku postoji zahranieni pratele u hrobti americkYch vojinti, kteri temto zemim na pomoc v jejich boji. V Korei, kde padlo vice neali etyryadvacet tisic Amerieanti, bode vzdana broZna ficta territo mrtvym na hrbitove SpojenYch narochl u Posanti.

Poclobne bode tomu i na skoro jednom stu narodnich hititovti v padesati statech, jako i na eetnYch po zemi rortrousenych pohrebiStich, kde ocipoeivaji nekeej.q naSi. vojini, Ve vL;ecli americkYch vojenskYch posadkach a na y:7;ech valeenYch lodich budou prapory vnolou Zerdi, zazni salva jedenadvaciti vYstrelo. Na vodu budou hozeni kvetiny na pamet tech, kteri zahynuli na, mot'.

S oslavami Dne veneeni hrobii, nazYvanaho Memorial Day nebo take Decoration Day, zapoealo se po obeanske valce, kdy' z americkeho jihu ozdobily hroby uniovYch I konfederaenich padlYch ye Vicksburgu a Columbus v Mississippi a v Charlestonu v Jizni Karolip& Obyvatele severnich statti rerwovali na toto pratelske gesto stejnYm. zprisobem, takle po nekolika ictech staly se prvni kvety jara pravideinou ozdobou hrobti americkYch padlYch, kterYch bylo pfi to prilelitosti yznotninano nri organisovanYch oslavach.

Kdy se generalniajor John A. Logan stal velitelem povaleene Grand Army of the Republic, vydal 5. kvetna 1868 rnzkaz, aby kahla vojenska posadka usneradala vhodnou oslav y a ozdohila hroby svYch mrtvYch kamaradti k yetinami. Podia slov tohoto •ozkazu nesmime pripustiti, aby priSti generace in6ly drivod k podezreni, "jsme jako narod zapornneli cenu, zaplacenou za svobodnou a nerozdelenou republiku".

Za den oslavy by vyvolen 30. kvetna, mistem prvni oslavy byl Washington, D. C. Kvetiny z botanicke zahrady, s pozemka pri departmentu pokladu a

;le krasne a vhodne, ze je zasvecen ten kvetnovY den (30. kvetna) vzpominani na, padle na ty, kteri obeti svYch Zivotti pomahali hajit svoboclu sve vlasti a idealy lidskosti.

Tento mtij dopis ma svoji pridinu.

Tech etendril, kteri cetli moje dopisy, ktere jsem psavala pies 50 let ut mezi nami mnoho neni. Zestarli jsme, vymirame: start' must, mladY milk: tot' odjakti ya zakon plirody. Mladi zaujimaji na ge misty a vedou to v ge po svem, vge must jit duchem easu. A ted', pros jsem se rozhodla dnes psdt: Let'i predemnou 501etYm starim zetloutla listina, na ktere jsou napsana jmena zakladajicich elenn Hutu Jaro C. 130. Bylo jich celkem 13, a pod nimi 27 'dent" s prestupnimi listinami od CCdu Pokrok C. 84. Spoeitala jsem kolik rnutti a ten prestoupilo tehdy a bylo jich 13 ten a 14 mutt". f?,ad Jaro byl zaloten 7. ledna v roce 1917. Z tech 13 zakladajicich 'Cent'," jsou pouze dva na tivu, sestra Anna Machaeova a ja, pet z tech pozdeji odstoupilo a Best zemPelo. Add byl zaloten v domove mantelii Jan VaneurovYch. Ton dobu jsme tu men jednoho doktora polske narodnosti jmenem Kolaelcoysky a mluvil dost dobre eesky. A to by se mezi nami v jeho leka•ske praksi ani neuti yil privezli jsme si seboa ze stare vlasti to nejvet gi bohatstvi zdravi, a pracovite .ruce. Tak dr. Kolaekoysky vlastnil pobli g mesta malou farrnieku, kde pestoval drilbe g' a snad i dobytek. Dr. K. byl pozVan do dornu k VaneuroySrm. Telesnou prohlidku jsme nepotPebovali, jen vypinil ptihlagujici listiny, ktere byly odeslany na Hl. nracloynou, tehdy umistena ye Fayettevillu. Mezi pfihlagenrmi eleny byl velmi dobrY sokolskY harcovnik a jeho chot', Ane gka a bratr Franta Rendl.

Byl to navrh bratra Rendla, aby se novenm zalotlenemu radu dalo jmeno "Jaro", s cim jsme vgichni souhlasili.

Tak na torn mohutnem strome nagi SPJST, kterou na gi stall pionYli pled 70 lety zasadili vyrostla nova vetev to ut bylo od jeho zaloteni 130.

Vzpominam na ten pamatny den a ut je tomu pfilstoleti-kdyt rad Jaro byl v tivot uveden. . asnu jak jen ten tivot p •imo leti. To bylo i jaro na gich let.

A tak dnes po 50 letech givota v jeseni diva nam chvile k °slave l'adu C. 130 Jaro sveceni. A mum v fizaveru meho givota jegte jedno pra.ni a to aby rad 130 zkvetal do clal gich 50 let!

Je nutno k tomu je gte dodat, ze sokolska jednota Jan Zi2ka byla zaJogena u rids v Dallas v roce 1912 v lednn.

Prvni sokolovna byla postavena na Carl ulici v rote 1915, kterou si hrstka Clentt

sami.postavili, ate nas stale pi•byval0 mald budova nestaeila. Tak na tom samem miste postavili vet;s'i budovu v roce 1921 — velika, na tehdej gi dobil. A kd3r " se eerno gi za.eali tlaeit mezi nas, bylo nas hodne co jsme vlastnili sve domy v tomto okoli, tak jsme byli nuceni g e clomy prodat pod cenu a hledat domovy v jinSich cast" mesta. A do glo to i na nagi sokolovnu. Na gim mladgim elenum nastala starost najit vhodne mito pro novou budovu. Myslim, to to byl bratr Emil Hrabina, kterS r to nagel. Bylo toho 4 akry lesnateho zanedbanehn pozemku, kterST zakoUpili v roce 195' a se stavbou se zaealo v 1959. Je to jed, na z nejvetg ich budov onoho typu v Texasu a ut je dnes i zaplacena. Odpuste, ge jsem se n tech sokoloven tak zdrtela, ale jinak by me to nevy glo. Vgichni zakladajici elenove •adu C. 130 byli eleni sokola a tech 27 co si vzali pfestupni listiny od tadu: C. 84 byli na male vyjimky take 'dent sokola. Tak sytij k svemu!

Ve stfedtt 24, kvetna 1907 Dallas, Texas Mili etena.fi Vestniku, Uz jsem s valid cllouho nebyla tak abyste vedeli, Co je g te tiji ozYvarn se.

Tento mtij dopis ma svoji pridinu.

Tech etendril, kteri cetli moje dopisy, ktere jsem psavala pies 50 let ut mezi nami mnoho neni. Zestarli jsme, vymirame: start' must, mladY milk: tot' odjakti ya zakon plirody. Mladi zaujimaji na ge misty a vedou to v ge po svem, vge must jit duchem easu. A ted', pros jsem se rozhodla dnes psdt: Let'i predemnou 501etYm starim zetloutla listina, na ktere jsou napsana jmena zakladajicich elenn Hutu Jaro C. 130. Bylo jich celkem 13, a pod nimi 27 'dent" s prestupnimi listinami od CCdu Pokrok C. 84. Spoeitala jsem kolik rnutti a ten prestoupilo tehdy a bylo jich 13 ten a 14 mutt". f?,ad Jaro byl zaloten 7. ledna v roce 1917. Z tech 13 zakladajicich 'Cent'," jsou pouze dva na tivu, sestra Anna Machaeova a ja, pet z tech pozdeji odstoupilo a Best zemPelo. Add byl zaloten v domove mantelii Jan VaneurovYch. Ton dobu jsme tu men jednoho doktora polske narodnosti jmenem Kolaelcoysky a mluvil dost dobre eesky. A to by se mezi nami v jeho leka•ske praksi ani neuti yil privezli jsme si seboa ze stare vlasti to nejvet gi bohatstvi zdravi, a pracovite .ruce. Tak dr. Kolaekoysky vlastnil pobli g mesta malou farrnieku, kde pestoval drilbe g' a snad i dobytek. Dr. K. byl pozVan do dornu k VaneuroySrm. Telesnou prohlidku jsme nepotPebovali, jen vypinil ptihlagujici listiny, ktere byly odeslany na Hl. nracloynou, tehdy umistena ye Fayettevillu. Mezi pfihlagenrmi eleny byl velmi dobrY sokolskY harcovnik a jeho chot', Ane gka a bratr Franta Rendl.

Byl to navrh bratra Rendla, aby se novenm zalotlenemu radu dalo jmeno "Jaro", s cim jsme vgichni souhlasili.

Tak na torn mohutnem strome nagi SPJST, kterou na gi stall pionYli pled 70 lety zasadili vyrostla nova vetev to ut bylo od jeho zaloteni 130.

Vzpominam na ten pamatny den a ut je tomu pfilstoleti-kdyt rad Jaro byl v tivot uveden. . asnu jak jen ten tivot p •imo leti. To bylo i jaro na gich let.

PM torn jsme pracovali pro vlast ridrod. I-Inalo na g vedomi, to intiteme zde spoleene pracovat pro osvobozeni nas" stare vla.sti, kter:5, v to dobe byla ye vdlce. Pomabali .jsme z toho mala co jsrne men, byli jsme v gichni zaeate6niel. Nagi mutove byli schopni kterSrm se Americana nevyrovnali. Ale neumeli z poedtku anglickou fee.

Stara sokolovna na Carl ulici SPJST Jaro C. 130.

hidu

Modern" stavba sokolske jednoty Jan izka na 7448 Greenville Ave. v Dallasu, take domov fadu SPJST C. 130. byly skrovne a umely jsme pracovat, staly jsme po boku na gich mutt' a pri vychove nagich deti jsme kde se dalo nejakY dolar vydelaly.

A tak dnes po 50 letech givota v jeseni diva nam chvile k °slave l'adu C. 130 Jaro sveceni. A mum v fizaveru meho givota jegte jedno pra.ni a to aby rad 130 zkvetal do clal gich 50 let! Na vypsani dejin raclu C. 130, SOkola, a enskeho kroutku (jehot zakl. elenkou jsem take a je to nejstar gi tensky krougek Texasu, prede glY . mesic dovrgil 32 let trvani a velmi plodne prate) bych pot •ebovala zvuko yy pasek. Ruene bych vge ut dnes nenapsala, cllouhe psani namaha moje oei. Ale presto hodne etu a pigi, vyrizuji objechlavky plea Tuzex, tak jak jsem to deld.vala drive.

Je nutno k tomu je gte dodat, ze sokolska jednota Jan Zi2ka byla zaJogena u rids v Dallas v roce 1912 v lednn.

Prvni sokolovna byla postavena na Carl ulici v rote 1915, kterou si hrstka Clentt

sami.postavili, ate nas stale pi•byval0 mald budova nestaeila. Tak na tom samem miste postavili vet;s'i budovu v roce 1921 — velika, na tehdej gi dobil. A kd3r " se eerno gi za.eali tlaeit mezi nas, bylo nas hodne co jsme vlastnili sve domy v tomto okoli, tak jsme byli nuceni g e clomy prodat pod cenu a hledat domovy v jinSich cast" mesta. A do glo to i na nagi sokolovnu. Na gim mladgim elenum nastala starost najit vhodne mito pro novou budovu. Myslim, to to byl bratr Emil Hrabina, kterS r to nagel. Bylo toho 4 akry lesnateho zanedbanehn pozemku, kterST zakoUpili v roce 195' a se stavbou se zaealo v 1959. Je to jed, na z nejvetg ich budov onoho typu v Texasu a ut je dnes i zaplacena. Odpuste, ge jsem se n tech sokoloven tak zdrtela, ale jinak by me to nevy glo. Vgichni zakladajici elenove •adu C. 130 byli eleni sokola a tech 27 co si vzali pfestupni listiny od tadu: C. 84 byli na male vyjimky take 'dent sokola. Tak sytij k svemu!

0 Ta nak sokolovna se stala od prvopoOdtku nahm dornovem a jestli se nenaYlim jsme jediny rad SPJST co je spojen budovou se sokolem. A kraeirne u2 tak 50 let. pospolu a take na'S 2enskS7 J krou2ek je domovena po 32 let v sokolovne! A ty naSe 2eny v2dy jako pilne yeelieky se podileji na to praci sokolske i radove.

Mtij dopis se zase prodloail, ale net ukoneim chci Vas pozvat z blizka i daleka abyste vkchni prijeli k to nak oslave 501eteho vYroei radu Jaro 6. 130 dne 28. kvetna, kdy bude pro vSechny pripraven dobrY Wed a program. Tak na shledanou.
