A SOLDIER'S LAST LETTER HOME . . .

By Chuck Sehwartzkopf (The following are excerpts from letters written home to his parents by the late SP-4 Allen S. Mican, Mr. and M f'.9. Joe J. Miran): "We caught a lot of hell today . . . there were just too many of them," wrote SP-4 Allen S. Mican, two days before he was shot by the Viet Cong.

"My company just about got wiped out today . . I am going out to the field again tomorrow morning at 7:30 ... We don't believe that our company is going to stay there because there are not too many of us left.

"I want you to pray for me every night," said this veteran of six months of front line combat.

He wrote, "I pray every night that God will let me come home safe."

A small bundle of cherished letters to "Mom and Dad" testify to the horrors of war and the fervent hope for its end.

On February 13, Allen told his parents that his unit had been pinned down by the enemy for 15 hours losing 60 men.

"We couldn't go front or back . .

I tell you there was blood all over the place . . . It looked just like a river," he wrote revealing that about 200-300 Viet Cong were killed.

"I got 10 years older" he stated on February 23 after his outfit had been ambushed near its base camp at the Cambodian border.

Pleasures? On March 17, Allen related how happy he was to get into base camp after extensive patrolling with a mortar unit.

"It sure was good to clean up again because we didn't change clothes for two weeks . . . That bath really felt good!" he said.

o e on furlough, Christmgq

eing escorted to his

g place .

in St. Philip's Catholic Cemetery in El Campo.

4 He described how much he enjoyed getting The Leader-News, mentioning "Everybody I know seems to be getting married.

"It looks like when. I come home I'll be the only one who isn't married," he joked.

Each letter showed his concern for his parents' cotton and corn crops and mentioned the 120-130 degree temperatures in Viet Nam. A soiled letter, written hurriedly in the field on Operation Junction City, read happily, "I saw my name posted today saying I'll be getting out in September."

The March 12th letter went on to reveal how much he looked forward to coming home on leave and afterwards counting the days until he had completed his military service.

He wrote: "I was talking to my company commander, a Texan, and he said this war is supposed to end in July — you know, I hope he is right!"

On February 13 he sent a letter saying "we are starting part two of Operation Junction City."

"This is supposed to be our last operation in Viet Nam," he said.

It proved to be true for this brave young man who was marching down the Louise football field in a band uniform two long — but tragically short years ago.

—E1 Campo Leader-NewS SP-4 ALLEN MILAN PRAISED BY COMMANDING OFFICER

by Chuck Schwartzkopf The commanding •officer of SP-4 Allen Mican sent a letter to Allen's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe J. Mican, giving more details surrounding the death of the El Campo soldier in Viet Nam fighting last month, commending him for his bravery.

"On March 21. Company B was maintaining a sector of the perimeter security around a fire base of artillery guns on Operation Junction City in Was Zone C," stated Captain James Shugart.

"Shortly after dawn the units were attacked by a force of some 2500 Viet Cong' said Shugart.

He added, "Allen's couraguebus actions during the battle were an example for others and a major factor in the success of his platoon's holding their position."

"Allen was singularly responsible for warding off wave attacks on his position until he was hit by rifle fire and

Garrett, left, made the presentation. (Photo courtesy El Campo Leader-News). lost consciousness", said Shugart.

The commanding officer reported that Allen was evacuated to a hospital where he later died from wounds reeved in the battle.

"Your son did not suffer, since he lost consciousness right after he was hit and remained in a similar state until he passed away,' he wrote.

"At this time of your deep loss the words I offer seem weak and totally inadequate," said Shugart.

He revealed, "Since the day your son joined this company at Fort Lewis, Washington, he has impressed those he worked with and those he worked for with his high degree of enthusiasm and professionalism.

"He maintained i bis attitude through out his training and furthered it in the Republic of Vietnam.

"On the basis of these high ideals which ho displayed, Allen was assigned as an ammunition bearer on the 81 milimeter mortar team.

"The outstanding job which Allen did in his assigned duty qualified him for promotion to Specialist Four within a month after his arrival in the Republic of Vietnam.

"His job performance was always superior in the words of his leaders.

"Your son gave his' life serving his

country in keeping with the highest traditions of our way of life.

"The men of Company 13 will always remember your son with great esteem and cherish his memory forever.

"A memorial service was held in honor of your son and those who fought and died with him.

"My deepest sympathy, and may God be with you during this time of deep lass," concluded the captain's letter.

The Micans report many comforting letters have been received from throughout the nation and expressed their appreciation to everyone for their kindness since word was first received regarding Allen's death.

At graduation exercises on May 25 Beverly received several other awards, including a medal for making the honor roll at least four times this year. She also received a pin for having maintained the highest average for the senior year and an award for her faithful service in the Glee Club. A certificate recognizing her as Magna cum Laude on a National Competitive Latin EXamination. Beverly was also selected to the Who's Who in American High Schools.

She plans to be a secondary school teacher. She received a $1,600 scholarship to Incarnate Word. She also received a $1,600 scholarship to Our Lady of the Lake College, which she declined.

Beverly, her parents, and other members of her family are all members of SPJST' Lodge No. 66', Waco.

LEONARD PATAK AND PAT ARAMCIK ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. Charlie F. Adamcik of Dallas have announced the engagement of their daughter, Patricia Ann, to Mr. Leonard S. Patak, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley A. Patak. also of Dallas.

Leonard was also graduated from the University of Dallas in May where he majored in history. He is a member of the Phi Alpha Theta National Honor Society in history, and is presently continuing his studies toward a master's degree in history and international relations at North Texas State University.

The couple plan to be married in Dallas on August 12, 1967 at St. Cecilia's Catholic Church. at about twenty by September when the next school year begins.

As you may know, Texas A&M is one of only six colleges and universities having undergraduate course work and substantial enrollment in the Czech language.

Most of us realize the long and difficult road that lies ahead in the effort to increase the pride and interest of the people of Czech extraction in their language and culture, but with the continued aid and support of such organizations as the SPJST we

There is a new aspect to this prob lern which has recently arisen, The Texas Legislature has passed a new ruling to the effect that by about 1974 nearly all public schools will be required to offer courses in a foreign language. In most cases, of course it will be Spanish, but we face a critical challenge here in that forty or fifty high schools in Texas in Czech communities have as much right to expect Czech to be taught as any other language.

One of the dangers that may make law virtitally illOper a tiVe le provision for emergency situations which may allow the school to go on without offering the language. One of these situations will no doubt be a lack of qualified teachers. It is at present virtually impossible for a teacher to obtain enatigh work in Czech for a teachers' certification anywhere in the United States, Here at A&M I believe we come closer to reaching that goal than in almost any other university in the country.

With the help and encouragement of the large Czech element in Texas we hope to make it possible for public schools to have some Iualified teachers by 1074 or even before. We will need help from Czech communities to see that the language is taught in local schools.

Should I Study the Czech Laugua.,,e?

If you come from a family of Czech extraction and learn some of the language in your home environment, you will find the study of Czech in school much easier than the study of another language, and you will be able to make rapid progress. Studying another language in the lower grades will improve all of your schoolwork, In the past many schools in Czech communities offer instruction in the language, but in recent years some have..dropped the courses due to lack of teachers. Perhaps your grade school could re-open courses if requested.

LODGE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Members: Our last meeting was held on June 4th at 2 p.m. Brother Frank E. 1101, Jr., presided. The pledge of allegiance was led by Secretary Ella Haisler. The president asked the membership to observe a moment of silence for our departed member, Sister Rosie Jez. Our sympathy is extended to the family.

Visitors included Bro. Henry Haisler and his wife, and Bro. and Sister Leon Zavodny of Lodge 24, Cyclone.

Our sincere sympathy goes out to the Henry Haisler family upon the loss of their daughter. May their loved one rest in peace. She was Frances Haisler Ross.

Sisters reported on the sick list were Albina Mikeska, who had had surgery at Scott and White Hospital, and Minnie Pavelka. We hope both of these sisters are well on the road to recovery.

A new member admitted into our lodge is Sister Cassie Mesecke. I hope she participates in all our affairs. She is the executive secretary of our local United Fund campaign. She attends all sorts of meetings, and it would be nice to have her reaction to ours.

Constructive criticism never hurt anyone, and as the old saying goes, "If the shoe fits, wear it." New ideas or a new approach to an old problem might just bring about a solution!

The reports of all the chairmen were good. Their terms will all soon be expiring and we will be needing new chairmen for the kitchen, bar and floor for the months of July, August, and September. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Kosarek will be in charge of the kitchen.

I know they will do a swell job. They will be needing extra help, so all you volunteers, please come forward, but if you're asked, grin and bear it! I don't believe they will have any problem.

Tending the bar (not barn) will be Bro. and Sis. Johnny Vanicek. They have had this job before, a year at a time, but Bro. Vanicek volunteered for 3 months. Later in the year he likes to go deer hunting. I don't blame him one bit. Maybe this year he will get an extra deer and we will have some deer chili.

Bro. and Sis. Walter Jakubec have had the bar for the last nine months, and they deserVe a rest. They did a . swell job. Their smiling faces will be missed. I always enjoyed working with them, along with Leon Sodek, who was also good help, if we could only get him to Stop talking cars ; especially the ones

LODGE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Members: Our last meeting was held on June 4th at 2 p.m. Brother Frank E. 1101, Jr., presided. The pledge of allegiance was led by Secretary Ella Haisler. The president asked the membership to observe a moment of silence for our departed member, Sister Rosie Jez. Our sympathy is extended to the family.

Visitors included Bro. Henry Haisler and his wife, and Bro. and Sister Leon Zavodny of Lodge 24, Cyclone.

Our sincere sympathy goes out to the Henry Haisler family upon the loss of their daughter. May their loved one rest in peace. She was Frances Haisler Ross.

Sisters reported on the sick list were Albina Mikeska, who had had surgery at Scott and White Hospital, and Minnie Pavelka. We hope both of these sisters are well on the road to recovery.

A new member admitted into our lodge is Sister Cassie Mesecke. I hope she participates in all our affairs. She is the executive secretary of our local United Fund campaign. She attends all sorts of meetings, and it would be nice to have her reaction to ours.

Constructive criticism never hurt anyone, and as the old saying goes, "If the shoe fits, wear it." New ideas or a new approach to an old problem might just bring about a solution!

The reports of all the chairmen were good. Their terms will all soon be expiring and we will be needing new chairmen for the kitchen, bar and floor for the months of July, August, and September. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Kosarek will be in charge of the kitchen.

I know they will do a swell job. They will be needing extra help, so all you volunteers, please come forward, but if you're asked, grin and bear it! I don't believe they will have any problem.

Tending the bar (not barn) will be Bro. and Sis. Johnny Vanicek. They have had this job before, a year at a time, but Bro. Vanicek volunteered for 3 months. Later in the year he likes to go deer hunting. I don't blame him one bit. Maybe this year he will get an extra deer and we will have some deer chili.

Bro. and Sis. Walter Jakubec have had the bar for the last nine months, and they deserVe a rest. They did a . swell job. Their smiling faces will be missed. I always enjoyed working with them, along with Leon Sodek, who was also good help, if we could only get him to Stop talking cars ; especially the ones

Sister Dorothy Pechal helped on the home front by taking reservations, helping out at dances, and seeing that everything at the lodge was in order.

The planning committee chairman, Pro. Frank Spanhel, reported that the committee is working on plans that will be presented soon. Vice chairman is John Kohut, and secretary is Adeline Kohutek.

The local lodge elimination contest will be held right after our lodge meeting on July 2nd. Doughnuts and coffee will be served after the program by the lodge.

Our annual picnic is coming up on July 23rd, so all you folks be making plans to join us for an enjoyable afternoon and evening. Supper, or a more fancy dinner, will be served at 5 p.m.

Our youth leader, Sister Adeline Kohutek, will be in charge of the ticket • sales on the prizes. You older ones can sell tickets, too. The youth have outgrown our kitchen, so at the next meeting, they will occupy the east end of the hall, and the adults will meet on the west end at the same time -2 p.m.

We had three visitors at the meeting. They were Bro. Rud. Zalman of Lodge 35 in Elk, Bro. Nick Morris, editor of our paper, arid Verlene Frazier, also of Elk. We accepted the following members into our lodge: (adult) Vera Maud Durham, Herman Edward Straten, Kevin John Berger, Timothy ()Shane Donnell, Ruth Ann Donnell, and transferring to an adult policy: Karen Joyce Uptmore.

Sis. Ruth Krizan announced that our youth would go to camp on Saturday and Sunday, June 17 and 18. They will be carried to camp by car, and she asked the parents to please help carry the youth to camp.

She also asked the Kitchen Committee to help in the kitchen for the Cottonwood School Reunion . on Sunday, June 11.

Also, please won't forget Youth Activity Day on Sunday, June 25, at Lodge 92 in Fort Worth.

Sis. Martha Monthel asked the si6-

Bro. George Straten announced that he had tickets for the annual picnic and anyone wanting tickets should contact him.

Then Bro Nick Morris was called on to say a few words. He said that the main reason he was there was to take pictures of the ball game which was to be played after the meeting. He also said he thought they ought to have "stretchers and an ambulance handy just in ease."

Bro. Rudolph Zalman of Lodge 35 in Elk made a very interesting speech.

He reminded the youth of the coming YAD, he spoke of the by-laws and he also said that it has been suggested that there should be more SPJST rest homes.

The door prize was won by Larry Lovecky.

The meeting was then adjourned until July 2, at 1 p.m.

After the meeting, we really did enjoy the softball game played by the men of the lodge against the teenagers.

Those of you who weren't there well, Bro. Nick Morris was on hand with his camera and Bro. Williams also took moving pictures, so if you are interested, you will probably see pictures in this issue. By the way, no ambulances were needed.

MAY INSURANCE SALES IN DISTRICT 5 This report for the month of May leaves us one month to the half-way mark. To reach our quota in 1967 we must write approximately $300,000 of insurance for each of the seven months remaining in 1967. This will give us a leeway for rejections, since these are not counted. Therefore, I wish to ask each of you sister and brother organizers to keep a steady pace forward, check out all sources available, and contact your prospects.

If any help is needed, I aln at your service at any time.

Our District 5 membership drive in honor of our Insurance Counselor, Bro. Joe B. Hejny, Vice President of the Supreme Lodge, for this memorable year of our SPJST anniversary, is a very special occasion. We stand proud, tall and happy for the Order's accomplishments, from the very small group of pioneers who organized this great Order of ours. They built it with love for Brotherhood, Benevolence, and Humanity. They sacrificed all so that we may enjoy what we have today.

This month, 22 organizers took part in contributing their share to our alloted quota. With all sincerity, I appeal to the other 22 organizers to do their share and help in this membership drive and make these two months outstanding ones. Now I have the pleasure of listing the names of or-

(To be continued) —Our 70th Year— FROM THE DISTRICT YOUTH DIRECTORS DISTRICT II Dear Members and Friends: You are all probably wondering what, how, and how much it will take to go to 'camp. Those plans are being worked out. As soon as they are completed I will notify your youth leader and she will notify yeti. Watch also for it in next week's Vestnik. You will probably be asked to furnish your own transportation and a little to pay for the camp.

There is a Catholic Church approximately 18 miles from the ranch in Leander. There is a Baptist Church 4 miles from the ranch itself.

The Pow Wow Room will be used as a bunk house during our stay. We will 1p.ave our crafts out of doors on the picnic grounds in. a shady area. The Pink House will be available for games and folk dances on Friday night.

This will be under the direction of our State Youth Director, James Janousek.

Those youth club members who would like to ride a bus will have to let your youth leader know by June 19, and she, in turn, will let me know so I can make the arrangements. Remember, June 19, the deadline. Some of the youth will be disappointed because they did hot . get their Applica-

tious for attending the camp in by the deadline, June 3. These arrangements are not easy to make, and you all must realize that that is what a deadline is for.

I am looking forward to going and working with those who go to the Bar K Ranch and I know we will all have lots of fun.

tious for attending the camp in by the deadline, June 3. These arrangements are not easy to make, and you all must realize that that is what a deadline is for.

I am looking forward to going and working with those who go to the Bar K Ranch and I know we will all have lots of fun.

• • Take Your Pick Start talking life insurance and it soon seems as if there are as many kinds of policies available as kernels of grain in a field of wheat.

In one sense, this isn't so much of an exaggeration — the insurance industry offers hundreds, maybe even thousands, of policy choices.

But they all boil down to four basic kinds of life insurance: term, whole or

The June graduate out of elementary school is around 14 — an awkward age — half man and half boy. He probably cannot tie his own tie, but he can handle a football or baseball like a seasoned pro. However, there's a good chance that when he picks up a glass full of milk, he'll spill it. Girls? Well, he's not sure yet. He started shaving a year ago, and he's done it twice since.

With each passing day, he sheds more of the boy, picks up more of the man.

Twelve years ago, he was the most excited kid in town, ready for the challenges of the first grade. Now he's a young man. What happened to the

It's the little things that bother us, and put us on the rack; You can sit upon a mountain, but you can't sit on a tack!

• • Though a tree grow a thousand feet tall . . The fruits will fall to earth again.

For some of these, another ceremony is probably not too far off — a walk down the aisle, instead of across the stage. Four years ago, this same kid wore the tightest blue jeans in town and had jelly on his face. Four more years from now, he may be in another type of march, the world situation being what it is. There may be a rifle on his shoulder.

To find out what one is fitted to do and to secure an opportunity to do it is the key to happiness.

• • To the discontented man no chair is easy.

Graduation time has come and gone.

School is out. Graduation for some meant graduation from elementary into high school; for others, from high school; for still others, graduation from college or a university.

THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER

straight life, limited payment life and endowment, In the last analysis, all of the choices are either one of these four types or a combination of them.

The feature common to all, of course, is death protection; the variable feature is the "savings" they offer — to which are pegged variations in premium rates.

Savings, of course, in this connection means the cash values that build up in some policies.

Now here is a fundamental truth about saving through life insurance: The faster the savings accumulate, and the larger the ultimate cash value, the higher the premium; and the lower the amount of the protection element per dollar paid.

Here we get back to the four basic types of insurance. Generally, cash values aren't built up in term insurance — so it has the lowest premium for a given amount of face value.

Whole or straight life gradually grows in cash value during a lifetime of premium payments and protection — and carries higher premiums.

Limited payment life also gives lifetime protection and its cash value grows faster — so it costs still more.

The "limited" means a limited premium payment period or to a specified

Na eke klidne se na Dumata dival, ale cele jeho nitro se ehvelo nedoekavosti, co odpovi. Sel chytre na Vladimira, za ureitYm diem krok za krokem bojoval, anit by si toho byl Dumat yedom.

Ve velikem rozechv ni povstal, do

Najednou ho opouStely obavy a vSechno jevilo se mu ptirozene a krasne.

Marne ji vypravoval, jak Setriti•m sobem Dumatovi sdelil je j i tajemstvi a jak hezky o ni Durnai soty lii. lIrda ternerovska krev se v ni zvedta na rozdil od siren° jednani v jine dnv, byla tentokrate podraZdena a nepkistupat itZ.

Jako otrokyne bode ti slouSiti, ale nikdy nezapomene, 'dim je povinna sire cti a svernu mini. Mel-li jsi svou prvni Seim rad, teprve nyni vedeti, co j e Sena, a laska. Wok jii ji mice zkrotint.

Vytrvalol strYcova zvitezila, unavila se, a take jeji srdce koneene dostalo se ke slava. A to srdce bylo vetSim panem, net jeji hlava.

KdyZ unavena sporern se strycem usedla do z6lerene svetnice, prikradla se, predstava Dumatova. Jeho oei se ji zjevily, jeho bias se ozval a vina horouciho za,toaeni probehla jejimi lady. W3echno ostatni bylo zaponnenu i a loznY. obraz stesti Ykekti ji zachvatil. Predstavila si, jab boy byl jejim 11100111, se k eekala to pi lde, ona ho posadi, schvati ji do naruCe a pokryje polibky. Zdrava jeji krev zahokela, a,' povzdychla si tonhoo, aby se tak stale,

A jeji srdce koneene ji donutilo, svolila jeti do pily. Pod podminkou, 2e pojede bez strYce a 2e bude moci svobodne se rozhodnouti. Week() ji povolil, a dalo mu dosti premahani, net zakryl Sibalsky fismev, jen2 se mu dral na rty. Veeer jeSte poslal eeledina k Dumatovi se vzkazem, 2e rano prijede Tereza, e priveze zasoby pro hospodyni a Z"e mii2e ztistati celY 1 den i noc na pile, aby tedy dbal, aby nechvatala zpet.

Dumat pochopil, co Teener zamYSlel syYrn vzkazem, a byl v rozpacich. Odvykl si hovoru se 2enami, a zylaSte hovor s deveetem, jet bylo ureeno stati se jeho nevestou, pripadal ma COSI., ne2 zapolcni s kladami a noSeni te2kYch bremen. Ale v jeho mysli bylo 112 vyjasnon°. VSecko v sobe prevaril, vSechno uvaZil, a na konec si rekl, Ze osud sam not poda,va pomocnou ruku, aby vystoupil vie na ceste za s yYmi sny, jet se mu staly 2ivotnim cilem. Ano, je nutno, aby ne2i1 tak nazdatbilh, je treba, aby ziskal pevnou zakladnu, jet, ho ueini silnejSim a schopnejSim onech zapasti, ktere jeSte oeekaval.

Beztoho zaeinal miti obavy, kdy2 Tereza dlouho neprichazela. Terner pied svSrm odjezdem mu rekl, 2e ji poSle, bude-li to mo2no, jeSte dries, a ne-li, tedy zitra. A zatim ubihal prey i druhY den a Tereza se ncobjcvovala. Razsi to asi. Dokud ncpriSla strizliva chvile, lehce Sla za s yYmi sny, ale ted' se jiste Icka, a ted' zcela jinak o nem solidi. Vidi bczpochyby, 2e se stala dediekou, po ktere racli sahnou jini, mladSi, hezei a 2adoucnejSi nej je on, vyslotaily vojak a otec dvou deti. Co2 delat, rekl si resignovane, zklamani se nikom unevyhnou, a nevyhnou se ani jemu. Stahne se jeSte vice do samoty, upre vSechnu svou mysl k praci, a jakmile vyziska tolik, aby mel podklad k clalSimo samostatnemu podnikani, zmizi odtud.

Prijezd Terezin zaplaSil tyto chniury a krisil nacleji. Najednou citil, 2e je mu Tereza blizka, privolaval jeji obraz a hledal v nem, co by zvlake mu bylo mile a 21clouei. Od easneho jitra vybihal ven se podivati, jt2, a Perkinsove naridil, aby pro Terezu pravila nejake obeerstveni.

"To je ma starost," prohlasila resolutne, "takove veci mi nemusite povidati a starejte se o vlastni."

Odehazel pohnevan, ale jakmile z dalky spatril lehkY vozik, jeji Teresa
