FRO 1 THE EDITOR'S DESK FREEDOM

THINK IT OVER . . .

Throughout America's history, men have sacrificed life and property to escape and preserve freedom . . including freedom to worship according to personal choice.

George W. Blount said: "If you have something to .do that is worthwhile doing, don't talk about it, but do it. After you have done it, your friends and your enemies will talk about it."

• • Oliver Wendell Holmes said: "To brag a little, to lose well, to crow gently if in luck, to pay up, to own up, to shut up if beaten — are all virtues of a sporting man."

• • Samuel; Butler said: "Everyone should keep a, mental wastebasket. The older we grow the more things we should consign to it — torn into irrecoverable little tatters."

Freedom is the very core of the American system and, while this system is not perfect, it has worked better than any other the world has ever known. It recognizes man's natural desire to live as an individual being. It recognizes his ambition to earn, save, own and enjoy to the fullest the fruits of his labor.

As we partake of the rights of freedom, we must he ever mindful of our responsibilities to help preserve freedom. There will be differences in how each of us will discharge these responsibilities, but it would seem that none of us should do less than these things: 1. Inform ourselves on important issues . . . on our American heritage.

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

3. Work for equal opportunity and justice for all men.

4. Do our part in encouraging law observance and the prevention of crime and delinquency.

5. Formulate personal convictions.

Speak up when we disagree, but remember that every man is entitled to his opinions.

6. Stimulate conscious appreciations of the principles and ideals for which America stands.

7. Ask for no privilege that requires that we relinquish, even a small part of freedom in exchange for the privilige.

8. Strive for excellence. The strength of our nation is the sum quality of all its citizens.

What freedoms do you want to pre-

serve for yourself and your children and your children's children? What personal sacrifices are you willing to make to assure these things? Freedom itself leaves choice and action up to you.

WHAT IS A CITIZEN From a Business Point of View 1. A Citizen is not a person with whom to argue or match wits. Arguing wastes time and convinces no one of anything but your own lack of intelligence.

2. A Citizen is the most important person to enter any office; in person, by mail, or by telephone.

3. A Citizen is not dependent on us.

On the contrary, we are dependent on him.

4. A Citizen is not an interruption of our work;' he is the purpose of it.

5. A Citizen is not an outsider in our work; he is a part of it.

6. A Citizen is not (and this is important to remember) a cold statistic.

He is a flesh and blood human being with feelings and emotions like our own.

7. The Citizen is the most important person with whom we deal.

8. A Citizen is a person who brings us his problems. It is our job to handle them in such a way as to be beneficial

Wednesday, October 4, 1967 to him and to ourselves.

• Generous or Unselfish?

There is a great deal of difference between generosity and being unselfish. A generous person is one who does somethillg nice for another because he wants to do it — for one reason or another. An unselfish one is a person who does something for somebody simply because he thinks that somebody would like to have him do it. Though he never suspects it, a generous person thinks of himself first — it makes him feel good to be generous. An unselfish person thinks of the other fellow first. One is glad to give something, the •other to give up something.

An unselfish person always endeavors to cheerfully put himself out for others. One . of his hallmarks is his impulse to be considerate. If you are curious to know how you stack up in this matter there is a quick and simple test. Just ask yourself how long it has been since you d i d something unselfishly.

A Birthday Message Here's a lovely greeting, read at a birthday celebration for a lady of adVanced years. It was written by her son.

Count your garden by the flowers, Never by the leaves that fall.

Count your joys by golden hours, Never when life's worries call.

Count your nights by stars, not shadows.

Count your days by smiles, not tears.

And on any birthday morning Count your age by friends, not years.

The noon meal will be served and will consist of baked turkey, dressing, and all the trimmings, baked ham, and all the trimmings, plenty of cake and kolaches.

Following the business meeting in the afternoon, a cake walk will be held.

Sisters of the district are asked to donate cakes for this good cause since the proceeds will go to the District VII youth fund. Sisters, don't besitate to donate cakes because this will be our means of helping our youth and they need it, because the funds are very nearly depleted.

Dear Members, You probably have been hearing a great deal about "Teapot on the Rocks," and so have made plans to be at the Chandelier Ballroom this Sunday at 3 p.m.! This is the hilarious

comedy, a one-act play, put on by the youth of our lodge, and there also will be entertaining numbers by the Junior Youth. Club. If you enjoy comedy and music, you will be there!

Of course, it will make you feel good to know that while you are enjoying yourself you are also giving support to the youth of our lodge. OUT girls and boys and the youth workers will surely appreciate your presence there, so don't fail them. Advance tickets are on sale now, and you can also buy them at the door! Assistant Leader Marlene

Wednesday, October 4, 1967 Caraway has charge of the comedy, and she and the youth have been practicing and working hard on this; their only hope new is that you will be there.

To make it an even more enjoyable Sunday for you, there is also one of those popular Lee Roy Matoeha dances from 6 to 10 p.m. Most of you have danced to Lee Rcy's good music, so I am sure you wouldn't want to miss this one. Then there is the BEER BUST from 7 to 8, when free beer is served to all in the ballr oo m all you can drink!

I surely hope you haven't forgotten about the reservations for the very special Sammy Kaye semi-formal dance on Wednesday, Oct. 25th, for the good tables are going fast. Here is your chance to see and hear the "Swing and Sway" Sammy Kaye, the most sought-after band in America today, and his Kaydetts, the Kay Choir, the Dixieland Band, and great soloists! The "Sammy Kaye Show" on the ABC Network has been one of the most popular variety shows, and his performance on radio and television has brought him millions of fans.

Such popular recordings as "Charade," "Daddy," "Harbor Lights," and "Come Dance With Me," to name a few of his greatest records, have endeared Sammy Kaye to many music lovers! And this is the great musician you have the chance to see and to dance to at our Chandelier Ballroom! So do 11. rry and get your reservation now; don't put it off, because only a certain number of reservations will be sold!

Another important date in October is Sunday, Oct. 29th, when our Dramatic Club will present two one-act Czech plays: "Zivot na Vesnici" ("Life in the Village") and "Zlodej Rite" ("Child Thief"). A delicious turkey dinner will be served from noon on, and a free dance after the play, so it is sure to be one of those delightful Sundays we all enjoy!

This Saturday we also have a great dance for we have the famous Herbert Klocsel and his Knights of Dixie from Schulenburg for a semi-formal dance!

Come and have a lovely evening of dancing to good music, and 1To•i ng your friends with you.

NAMES IN THE NEWS: One of our faithful Social Night workers, Ed Kadlecek, was surprised with a beautiful birthday cake brought by wife Louise and daughter Mary Louise, also faithful workers on this committee, and we

VESTNIK all enjoyed the cake and coffee! It happened again more members having their picture appear in the Houston Post, for Pearl and Ernest Hanka, Rosa Lee Ruland, and Tim Kostorn were on the picture snapped at the Hanica party! Doris and Jack Bernard had charge of the well-attended Ray Jurecka dance at which Marlene Caraway celebrated her birthday, and Dorothy and Abner Dixon their wedding anniversary! I am sure that District President Charlie Matcek is hoping you have circled Oct. 22nd on your calendar, because that is the date of our district meeting at Needville.

The youth of our district will present a comedy wedding! Faye and Dean Evetts, Elsie and A: J. Zalesky and Harley Cox will be looking for you at the Thursday Spaghetti Supper from 6 to 8 p.m.; come and enjoy a good meal and then enjoy the Social. Chairman Buddy Henske and his co-workers will be happ y to have you there! You can make Director Marlene Caraway and the youth very happy by being there Sunday afternoon for their comedy and entertainment!

Hoping to see you at the knights of Dixie dance this Saturday, at the "Teapot on the Rocks" comedy Sunday afternoon, and at the Lee Roy Matoeha dance with a BEER. in the evening!

Dear Readers and Writers, Autumn is here and brought with it plenty of rain and damages to many homes here in the southern part of Texas. We were lucky, but the people around Sweet Home, Hallettsville, and Komensky will never forget Beulah.

The prediction had been for a dry fall and winter, but the bucket was literally turned upside down.

Our last meeting was fairly well attended. The door prize went to Sister Julie Krejci. Our next meeting will be on the second Sunday of the month, as usual, which will be Oct. 8th at 2 p.m. We sure hope more of you members are present, especially some of the younger ones. We are again planning our Lodge 165 celebration in. November.

All our members who were sick and in the hospital are feeling fine, including our president, Bro. Emil Krejci who had an eye operation in a Yoakum hospital. That's all the news from me.

CZECH CHORAL GROUP, LODGE 84, DALLAS

Dear Members, Our choral grotip held a meeting Friday, Sept. 22nd. This meeting was well attended; however, we did miss a few faces. We need everyone present now that we are all so diligently learning the songs we are to sing at the State Fair on Czech Day Sunday, Oct. 8th.

Under the direction of Sister Martha Taylor and her committee, the Choral Group is planning a "Night in Old Italy," which is to be a spaghetti supper and variety show on Sunday, Oct. 22.

I would like to thank our former secretary, Sister Rose Hackworth, for turning over all her notes, list of members, etc., to me in such an organized manner. I also thank Sister. Annie Steiner, Frances Baleja, Mary - Nemec, and Irene Vlk for helping me on the telephone committee for this next year.

Bro. Frank Henzen called our attention to the fact that eight years ago this month our choral group was organized. It doesn't really seem that long, does it? We have so much fun singing that we just forget Old Man Time.

We will have two more rehearsals before the Fair. On Wednesday, Oct. 4, at 7:30 p.m., we will practice with the orchestra. On Friday, Oct. 6th, promptly at 7:30 p.m., we will have our regular meeting. Please mark your calendar to attend both nights because these rehearsals are important!

Dear Members, Our last meeting was held at 2 p. m. in our lodge hall. This was our first afternoon meeting since early spring.

The members decided to elect the entertainment committee for 1968 at our October meeting. This was done so that the dance manager will have time to hire the bands early while he still has a chance. It was also decided to increase the rent on the hall, so that we might meet our expenses when the hall is in use. It was brought out that other area halls had also gone up on their rental.

The Beseda dancers performed in costume for the members present. This

Dear Members and Friends: The band we had last week had probably the most colorful display of music stands and costumes of any we have had at our club. They were decked out in bright shiny green vests, and the orchestra stands were in the same color, which blended nicely with our wine-colored stage. The band was well accepted and we are looking forward to seeing them in the near future. This was the Henry Tannenberger Orchestra, the band with the new sound.

This week in the ad secticill we have a schedule of all the wonderful entertainment at the Falcon Ballroom dur-

Wednesday, October 4, 1967 ing the month. A date we have not discussed in our previous letters is the Halloween Masquerade Ball to be held on Oct. 21. when Karel's Real Dance Band will be featured. Bring your costumes and dress up the children, too, because all will have a wonderful time.

There will be gifts for the best mask and the children will really nejoy it.

This is the first masquerade ball Sokol has had in over 10 years and we think the public has missed this type of entertainment. Come see us and let your hair down on Oct. 21st.

Don't foret to make your reservations for the Joe Patek dance because the reservations have been coming in for over two weeks and there will be many who will not get the exact table desire because of the crowd we expect for this pipular band.

Fm those who are not receiving the free monthly Sokol newsletter, please send us your name and address. This is a monthly newsbrief of the affairs that are happening at our club and it also lists names and events which are not usually mentioned in the Vestnik. Our writings in this paper are usually restricted to items which will be of interest to the Czech fraternal groups and we don't want to load this fraternal journal with a lot of names and short sub j ects that are not related to the public's interest.

DUST VII YOUTH DIRECTOR'S REPORT The fall dist. meeting will climax our 1967 youth program for the year.

A special invitation is extended to youth members form all over the dist. to be on the youth program. It will be held Oct. 15 at Robstown Community Hall at 2:30. Please let me know by Oct. 1st what you will do on the program.

1967 has been a record breaker for our youth program. Each event has had an increase, from our spring meeting meeting program, our Dist. Youth Achievement Day, our Camp to our State Contest. Each one was bigger and better.

Our district is the proud owner of two state winners this year. Candy Edwards and Roseann Mrazek each placed first in Crafts. We had several close runners-up in the contest. The large member of contestants at State from Dist. VII are to be congratulated, as well as the parents, sponsors, and other supporters present from our district. We were well represented.

For each of these district functions our youth received small awards as a token of appreciation and as an aid to travel expenses. Tne large attendance has naturally cut deeply into our reserve youth fund. We have gone well over the $150 allowed our district by the Supreme Lodge. We have had a great year, so now let's start early and prepare for an even greater one next year.

As we have done many times in the past with great success, we are again calling on our members from all over the district to donate cakes for a cake walk to be held at the fall meeting.

All the preceeds will go into the Dist.

Youth Fund. We must have cakes from all our district if this is to be a success. Even though you travel a great distance, bring a cake. We don't care if it is a little travel-worn.

FROM THE LODGE YOUTH

LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Readers, As a teen leader I would like to see more parent participation because the fraternal organization is designed to enrich and broaden not only the minds of youth, 'out the traditional American family way of life. Our youth program is organized to give training in sportsmanship, teamwork, craftsmanship and brotherhood. This takes effort of leadership, youth participation, and parent cooperation.

We are not a baby-sitting corporation; we hope to spend each hour with your youth broadening his horizons, but we need you on our team. Won't you join?

Dear Readers, The busy season for Lodge 88 youth is here again. Our one-act play and variety show is in full swing at rehearsals. Pat Sembera and Donna Franks submitted the winning name for the show, "The Laff Inn." They split the $5 prize. Joan Zalmanek is doing a good job of directing, and Ruth Ann Zaludek at prompting. Actors putting on a good performance are Mary Knapick, Bonnie Cox, James Vornsand, Ronnie Evetts, and Freddy Sembera. The junior club is learning both Czech and English songs. Everyone involved is doing their part in making it a successful show.

Won't you do your part in helping make it a success by attending their show Sunday, Oct. 8 from 3 to 5 p.m. at SPJST Lodge 88 Chandelier Ballroom? Tickets can be purchased from any youth or teen member, or at the door — adults $1.00 and children 50c.

Wednesday, October 4, 1967 LODGE. NO. 87, TEMPLE Dear Readers, Did you ever try to open a can with a knife? Well, we did and believe me, it is no fun! At our last gathering at our lodge, it seemed we had taken all our kitchen articles from home, yet, we forgot to bring a can opener. So our club would like to give a kitchen shower for "Miss Star" of Liberty (Lodge 87) at our Nov. 12 meeting. Everyone is invited. Look around the house and see if you have an extra knife, spoon, fork, can opener, cup towels, or pots. Anything for the kitchen; please bring it to this shower. Our lodge can certainly use anything you care to give. Remember, you have over a month to work on this project.

Our club and mother lodge were collecting clothes for a rummage sale to make extra money for our lodge.

Then when Beulah came along we decided the unfortunate people of South Texas needed these clothes more than we did, so we sent five large boxes to these people. We hope the things we sent will help ease some of the pain these people endured. Thank you, one and all for the clothes, packing and deliveries!. May God bless you for your kindness.

Right now circle Nov. 12th on your calendar. Besides the shower, we will have the election of all lodge officers.

Who will be our new youth leader?

Our birthday cake went to Mrs. R. V. Jurica and was baked by Mrs. Rudie Chumcal. Mrs. Ben Bolech will bake our next birthday cake in December.

The door prizes of $1.00 went to Mrs. Laddie Pesek, Mrs. Herman Wendt, and Mrs. Leo Frazier (adults). The door prize, donated by Jackie Ehlers, Lone Star Distributor, went to Irene Slovacek.

The youth door prizes went to David Chumchal, donated by the youth leader, and the prizes of $1.00 each went to Fred Pesek, Charlene Pesek, and Paula Chumehal.

Our next meeting has been postponed to the fourth Sunday. Hope to see everyone then.

Irene Slovacek, Youth Leader PS: I wrote the above Tuesday night but so much has happened around here that I just have to add a few more words. Our little community of Sweet Home was hit by a tornado Wednesday, Sept. 20th, damaging and demolishing many places and homes.

The Sweet Home Queen of Peace Catholic Church, which has lost its steeple, is being condemned because of the buckling of the brick walls. Our post office lost one side wall and the roof. So many houses have all kinds of damage that it would take many hours to describe how our town looks now. Fireman's Hall was totally demolished; this hall was our SPJST meeting place until about a year and a half ago when we moved to Slovacek's Ballroom on Highway 77 between Yoakum and Hallettsville.

"But I hired a teenager today. You saw him. He was the one with the polished shoes and necktie. What Was so special about him? Not experience; neither of you had any. It was his attitude that put him on the payroll instead of you. Attitude, son, ATTITUDE. He wanted that job badly enough to shuck the leather jacket, get a haircut, and lodk in the phone book to find out what this company makes. He did his best to impress me. That's where he edged you out.

"You see, people who hire people aren't "with" a lot of things. We know more about Bing than Ringo, and we have some stone age ideas about who owes who a living. Maybe that makes us prehistoric, but there's nothing wrong with the checks we sign, and if you want one you'd beter tune to our wave length.

"Ever hear of empathy? It's the trick of seeing the other fellow's side of things. I couldn't have cared less that you're behind in your car payments. That's your problem. What's needed was someone who'd go out in the plant, keep his eyes open and work for me like he'd work for himself. If you have even the vaguest idea of what I'm trying to say, let it show the next time you ask for a job. You'll be head and shoulders over the rest.

"Look, Kid, the only time jobs grew on trees was while most of the manpower was wearing Cll's and pulling KP. For all the rest of history, you've had to get a job like you get a girl: "Case" the situation, wear a clean shirt, and try to appear willing, "You may not believe it, but all around employees are looking for young men smart enough to go after a job in the old-fashioned way. When they find this kind of young man, they can't wait to unload some of their worries on him.

CZECHOSLOVAKIA — HER LAND AND RESOURCES

by Darrel Fojtasek, Lodge 47, Seaton Czechoslovakia, a country covering 49,377 square miles, is long and narrow and is shaped much like a slipper.

Czechoslovakia is surrounded by the countries of Germany, Poland, Austria, Hungary, and Russia. Czechoslovakia is not a very large country, in fact, it is a little bit smaller than the state of New York. The greatest distance across Czechoslovakia east and west is 600 miles, and the greatest distance north and south is only one hundred eighty five miles.

Czechoslovakia's natural regions consist of Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia. These areas are not only the natural regions of Czechoslovakia, but also her former political divisions. Bohemia, the western part of the country, is a saucer-shaped plateau bordered by a ring of mountains. Gaps in the mountain ranges provide easy passage to the countries to the north and west. Moravia, sloping from the mountains in the north and west to the valley of the Morava River in the south, lies in the middle of the country. The small part of Czechoslovakia near Ostrava, drained by the Oder River, often is considered part of Upper Silesia. The Moravian Gate is the low area between the mountains that join the Oder River. The eastern part of the country, Slovakia, has the highest mountains; the Tatras, which rise to more then . 8,000 feet. Czechoslovakia's lowest elevation is three hundred eighty feet, near Zemplin on the Hungarian border.

The Vltava River flows into the Labe (Elbe). The lake than flows northwest through Germany to the Ncrth Sea, draining most of Bohemia. The Danube, Morava, Vah, Nitra, and Hron

13 drain the rest of the country. The Danube Flows south and east to the Black Sea. Czechoslovakia has no large lakes, but some small ones can be found high in the mountain valleys.

The earth contains most of Czechoslovakia's industries. Some of the minerals found in Czechoslovakia are coal, graphite, manganese, lead, zinc, mercury, silver and gold. Others include uranium, clay, and sand. The rivers in Czechoslovakia provida power for her industries. More than half of Czechoslovakia's land can be farmed, and of the other land is forest. Soil is the main resource in Czechoslovakia because so many of the people are farmers.

Czechoslovakia has a climate much like southern Canada, with hot summers and cold winters.

PRAGUE

by Alden Schiller, Lodge 47, Seaton Prague is the capitol and largest city of Czechoslovakia and was formerly the capital of the duchy and kingdom of Bohemia. The city is situated on both sides of the Moldau River, 169 miles nortwest of Vienna. One of the most picturesque cities in Europe.

Prague is built in a broad valley paralleling the banks of the Moldau. The river is spanned by nine bridges, the most famous of which is Charles Bridge, built between 1357 and 1507.

The oldest part of Prague is built on the east bank, the site of the Old City, dating back from the 13th century, and the New City, built about a century later. In the Old City, traversed by crooked streets and containing architectural relics of Bohemian granduer, is the 14th century TS,n church, a center of the religious revolt of the Hussites. The section also contains part of the University of Prague, founded in 1348, the 14th century town hall, and the municipal house. In the Municipal House is Smetana Hall, used as the meeting place for the national committee, which, in October, 1918 proclaimed the independent Republic of Czechoslovakia. The New City is the largest section of Prague and is primarily commercial and industrial; among its structures are many public buildings, theaters, museums and banks.

The west bank is primarily residential and is dominated as is the entire citY, by the IlracICany Hill, which is 240 feet high on the river bank. The hill is the site of the vast former royal palace,

containing 440 rooms, it is now used as the official residence of the president of the Czech republic and for government offices. Next to the vast structure is the Gothic style Cathedral of St. Vitus, which was begun in 1344 and completed in 1929, a total of 585 years work!

Prague is the cultural and educational center of the country. The University of Prague, attended by some 17,000 students in a recent year was founded before any German University.

The Technical University of Prague ; was attended by about 13,000 students recently. In addition, Prague has many art, music and technical centers. The city is also the financial and industrial center of Czechoslovakia. Its principal industrial products include heavy machinery, chemicals, leather, textiles, and beer. In 1947, the population was 922,284.

Items of Interest HISTORIC HOMES IN FORT WORTH There is a. very unusual neighborhood In Port Worth that attracts visitors from across the state and nation.

What could be so out of the ordinary about a neighborhood? This one happens to be built of homes whose origin dates back as early as 1843.

The decor of the homes, complete in every detail, gives the appearance that the resident might have just stepped out for awhile, leaving you the privi-

Wednesday, October 4, 1967 lege of glimpsing at their cabin without invitation. The log cabin dwellings, ranging in size according to the income 'level of their occupants, are furnished exactly as they were over 100 years a,go in the of antiques, not modern duplicates. Most of the furniture was donated by the original families whose ancestors once occupied the, log . cabins which have been moved from their original -sites to a new location across from Forest Park Zoo. The William Sidney Pickard cabin purchased by Pickard in 1866 had been built ten, years earlier to serve several hundred acres in Parker County. An old organ, aged at least 150 years, is part of the decor of this home. The cabin, built in split level styling, was large enough for the six children of his family.

His neighbors are the T. J. Shams who once called the one-room cabin home. The Shaws left a few shoe forms by the bed. Shaw must have been in the process of making shoes for some of his fourteen children because there are a variety of sizes.

Nearby, a mirror had been placed just to the left of the bed equipped with a small cabinet for shaving equipment.

John Baptist ThompkiriS' home was just in the process of making candles when they hurriedly left, for the drying rack and molds are set up as though the family had only begun the task. One of the family heirlooms hangs from the wall, a framed design of crochet hair from the locks of three sisters. Women desi gned patterns from the cut hair and framed them for the purpose of decorating their homes, a popular art of the era.

The Issac Parker home is filled with history and tradition, Parker, a colorful pioneer p olitician for whom Parker County is named, made the cabin a hashing ground for many of the early Texas political figures. One of the tragedies of the home is the story of Cynthia Ann Parker, niece of Issac Parker, who was twice kidnapped, once by the Comanches in 1836, and by the Texas Rangers in 1960 at the Battle of the Peace River. She and her daughter, Prairie Flower, whose father was .Comanche Chief Nocona, could not make the adjustment to civilization after so long an absence from it and died within four years.

One of the most impressive in the collection of cabins, the Parker home has two rooms separated by a dog "trOtt" alSo kneWn as a breezeway, and

15

VESTNiK recognized as a sign of wealth. The bedroom contains an antique crib in which the garments of infants lay, garments worn over a century ago. On the night stand, a long braided lock of hair rests. During that period it was customary to cut one's hair upon reaching maturity and wearing the cut lock around the neck. In the dining room, on the other side of the divide, spinning wheels are set up as if the family had been preparing yarn for their minter clothing.

The most exquisite of the cabins is the home of Captain Hartford Howard whose house rises two levels. On the lower level an old bathtub sits in the corner near the fireplace. The style of the tub indicates that its bather had to bathe with knees doubled up against his chest, no less a chore, In contrast, a velveteen couch sits on the opposite side of the room, an extravagant addition to any home of this era, and a pair of high button shoes sit nearby. On one of the walls an alphabet picture done in needlepoint is placed on the wall, and an authentic antique piano is near the settee. In the upstairs room another smaller settee is located near the bed and the antique dresser provides a place for the white china basin and pitcher.

There is no hurry in rushing through these cabins. No one has ever been caught trespassing yet. The residents aren't expected hack fOr a long timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;. but you feel like they may come home at any time.

MOBILE HOME' INTEREST INCREASES

More and more families are interested in buying mobile homes these days.

The reason, says Mrs. Jane Berry, housing and home furnishings specialist, is because of the simplicity of obtaining financing. Adequate financing is available through national, regional, and local sources.

"Costs and finance procedures involved in buying a house often frighten the prospective homeowners," Mrs. Berry points out. "However, buying a mobil home is just as simple as buying an automobile. The cost of financing and monthly payments depend on the amount of the clown payment and the number of months required for the balance."

Mrs. Berry explains that finance charges on mobile homes are figured on the balance due for number of

months required for repayment. The sum is added to the unpaid balance on the mobile hoMe selling price and divided by the number of months required for repayment.

"The family purchasing a mobile home costing $6,000, for example, would pay 20 per cent of $1,200 down and $84 per month for 84 months,' Mrs. Berry points out "The cost of insurance would be inclr,;(s i iu the monthly payments."

A prospective mobil home buyer should shop around with different banks and finance companies before insuring and financing, the specialist says. The mobile home dealer can probably make arrangements for you.

"Take time to review the finance contract, as well as the financial institution with the dealer." Mrs. Berry advises. "Be sure to question the dealer to learn if the finaneial institution provides a copy of the contract, as well as arranges for proper insurance coverage," --SP.TSTRETURN

OF THE RIG SPENDER

The predicted rise in consumer spending, which analysts had expected to rekindle the boom, arrived on schedule.

The thre e -month climb to a record $27 billion spent in the nation's stores in. August confirms this, says Mrs. Wanda Meyer, Extension specialist in home management.

Department stores particularly are enjoying the sharp sales gain, says the specialist. Cooler , weather and earlier back-to-school purchasing sent sales in this area zooming up by more than 15 per cent, as compared to last year's levels.

HoweVer, not every department is sharing equally in these gains, Mrs. Meyers points out. A strong demand has been evident for softgoods, while furniture and appliances lag behind.

Apparel buying is providing the spark, Mrs. Meyers explains. Clothing sales, especially for youth, have risen more than twice as sharply as retail volume. The freest-spending customers are the working girls and college and teenage students, whose allowanCes go right back into their closets.

Older family members are also taking a strong interest in new clothing, according to the s pecialist. Quality lines are getting the play in this category. And retailers are seeking to pull in some Of the store&-uP pittcha,sing power consumers have withheld for so long. When these purse strings are

VESTNfK

loosened, sales of big ticket items should contribute their share oo, Mrs. Meyers predicts.

Another aspect of the increased consumer spending is the fact that consumer installment dept burdens have dwindled rapidly in the past year, Mrs. Meyer points out. Installment credit extensions through the beginning of August represented less than 15 per cent of depositable income, as compared with over 15 1/2 per cent a year ago.

—SPJSTUNINSURED CAR COVERAGE PLAN EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1 Statues of Texas, as amended by Senate Bill 219 in the 60th Legislature, provide that on and after Oct. 1 Uninsured Motorist Coverage will be added to every automobile liability policy — unless such coverage is rejected by the policyholder.

The coverage will apply to new policies written after Oct. 1, and on policies renewable on or after that date.

This coverage provides important protection if the policyholder, or members of his family who live with him are accidentally injured or killed by an uninsured or hit-and run automobile. In such situations, it assures the policyholder that any damages to which he is legally entitled — but which he cannot collect—will be made good to him or his legal representative, up to the limit of coverage indicated. This means damages from injuries, including, death, and does not mean property damages.

The protection applies whether or not the policyholder is occupying an automobile or not. For example, he or resident relatives may be struck by an uninsured or hit-and-run automobile while walking or bicycling, etc. It also covers passengers in his car and persons driving his car with his permission.

However, if an auto owner — upon purchasing a new liability policy or renewing a policy — does not want the "uninsured motorists coverage," he must sign a rejection form.

Cost of the new coverage is $4 for the first car and $3 for each additional automobile.

—SPJSTFOOD FAD FANTASY

Americans are swindled out of $500 million each year.

According to Radora Massey, Extension foods and nutrition specialist at Texas A&M University, the swindle may come under the label, tonics, sup-

plements, reducing pills, vitamins, mineral concen trates or special diet foods.

"You have no need for these unless prescribed by your doctor for a medical problem," the specialist says.

"These products, when not taken by prescription, neither help nor endanger your health," Miss Massey advises, "unless you believe they have the power to cure disease or correct malfunctions, as many claim."

The danger is great if you take these preparations as self-medication and forget that your physician is the only person qualified to diagnose, the spe' cialist points out.

Some exotic products on the market are kelp (sea weed), yogurt, yeast, blackstrap molasses, herbs, honey, specifically ground flours and various oils.

"Honey is a good source of carbohydrate, but it works no miracles," Miss Massey states. "Yogurt, a dairy product, is manufactured with partially skimmed milk. It has no more power to promote youth than does the same amount of milk.

"The enriched bread on your grocery store shelf is a good food buy and contains the same nutrients as the whole wheat that can be bought at the special food store and ground at home at a much increased expense."

The foods and nutrition specialist says reducing pills self-administered can actually cause harm. A person can actually lose lean body tissue and keep undesirable fat on certain diet binges.

And, as for vitamin pills, Miss Massey advises taking them only when prescribed by a physician.

"The person who eats a balanced diet has no need for this supplement," the specialist emphasizes. aUJ ST-

WORTH BOTANIC GARDENS On the outskirts of the Fort Worth downtown area, only a block from the East-West Freeway are the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens.

Yoou'll find floral gardens surrounded by grooves of trees forming giant arches beneath which paths are sheltered. The 75-acre tract is arranged in various color schemes with the creation of this effect brought about by arranging more that 2,000 different varities of plants in various symmetrical design.

The most striking display is found in the rose garden setting located at the west end of Botanic Gardens. More than 12,000 roses are grown throughout the park, the majority of which are arORT

Wednesday, October 4, 1967 ranged in the rose ramp. A pergola overlooks the rose ramp and from it descends a stairway. On either side of this, roses are grown in triangular formation.

To the left of the shelter and the rose ramp, three pounds from the water gardens. Water lilies grow in abundance here, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Tree-shaded stone paths lead the visitor through this garden. The atmosphere. of the water garden is heightened by occasional quacks from the ducks that inhabit the ponds.

The azalea gardens containing more than 6,000 of the colorful flowers aro located to the left of the University Drive entrance. Complementing the sanctuary of color are more than 100,000 chrysanthemums.

A canopy composed of trees, shrubs, and vines crawling up trellises enclose o walkway leading into a circular patio, and benches of stone shaded by overlapping trellises are located here.

Supplying the framework for these colorful displays of flowers are more than 150 different varities of trees and shrubs. An estimated 2,000 different types of plants thrive in the garden and the result is a forest of beauty in contrast to bustling city surroundings.

Specialists in horticulture and floriculture arrange the gardens so that blooming will be a continuous event.

The flowers are planted throughout each season to assure blooming for the following season. In this manner the gardens offer a continually changing atmosphere to appeal to the visitor in any season.

On the 90 acres of land reserved for the Botanic Gardens, only 75 acres have been developed, leaving 15 for future development. A Japanese garden has been planned for four acres and is due completion by 1970, and a sculpture garden featuring contemporary sculpture is under consideration.

The garden offers a haven for various clubs and organizational meetings, with more than 280 groups varying from garden clubs and fraternities to amateur sports clubs meeting in the Garden Center. The center located on Botanic Garden Drive offers complete facilities for meetings and lectures. In the center, classes on horticulture and complete library facilities on the subject are made available to the public.

One of the unusual services offered at Botanic Gardens is the scheduling of weddings. In the months of July and

Wednesday, October 4, 1967 August 1966, more than 24 ceremonies were held in the setting, including receptions.

Scot Sikes, horticulturist for the gardens, said that the Botanic Gardens have been and are one of Fort Worth's most frequented attractions. He revealed that figures from the monthly report show that in June all but two of the 300 cities in Texas were represented. Sikes added that eseven foreign countries were represented.

CONGRESS CONSIDERS BILLS TO PROMOTE BILINGUAL EDUCATION Congress is now considering a number of proposals to promote bilingual education in the United States. If any of these bills become law, bilingual education in the public schools for children who have a mother tongue other than English may soon become a reality. At least 35 separate bills in the House of Representatives and one in the Senate recognize the harm that comes to the individual child and the loss to the nation that results when the mother tongue is neglected. Most of the House bills apply to all languages, but the Senate bill, S. 428, introduced by Senator Yarborough of Texas and co-sponsored by a number of other Senators, would benefit only speakers of Spanish. There are indications, however, that the latter bill, presently before the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare, may be broadened to cover all languages if enough public interest is shown in the other languages.

Most of the bills provide for training teachers and supporting, in both public and private schools, programs which would use both English and the children's mother tongue as mediums of instruction for teaching all of the school subjects. The bills' sponsors believe that this would help to avoid retardation in school for those whoknow little or no English, and in all cases would help to preserve and develop the nation's language reseources. All of the bills also stress the importance of learning English.

A separate bill, HR 10558, introduced

by Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez, of Texas, seeks to establish a National Commission (to be appointed by the President) for the Preservation of Foreign Language Resources. The ten-man commission would serve as a fact-finding and advisory board to the nation.

Yet we do almost nothing to preserve and develop language competence in the millions of our children who speak them as mother tongues.

-SPJSTFDA TESTS PESTICIDE

RESIDUE IN FOOD American • consumers unduly concerned about harmful pesticide residues in food may rest assured their worries are unfounded.

The Food and Drug Administration's tolerance-setting and; enforcement procedures have insured protection from harmful foods for all America, says Jack Price, leader of ariculturalchemicals at Texas A&M University.

A report released by the FDA states that "currently the incidence and levels of pesticide residues in the nation's food supply are not approaching dangerous or even alarming levels."

18 FDA further asserts that "analyses of raw agricultural products, as well as total diet surveys, show that pestiside residues are much lower than the amounts judged safe by FDA and the World Health Organization."

In making its "market basket" or "total diet" studies, FDA buys in retail foor stores, "as would any consumer, a diet list of 82 foods in quantity sufficient to satisfy the nation's largest appetite — a 17 to 19-year-old male -for two weeks," Price points out.

The food is prepared and then analyzed by laboratory scientists using; the most sensitive analytical techniques These techniques can detect some pesticides in amounts as small as a few parts per billion.

Federal law provides that tolerances be established on the basis of the raw agricultural commodity, Price says.

However, since foods are washed, trimmed, cooked and prepared in many different ways which affect the remaining residues, FDA total diet studies provide the most reliable index of residues consumed in the diet.

FDA in addition to its market basket studies dose take thousands of food samples every year at producing, shipping and destination points and analyzes them for pesticide residues.

In a three-year period, 49,356 domestic samples and 3,836 import samples were examined. A total of 81 different chemicals were found in domestic food samples during this time.

Generally, the total residue levels on imported foods were higher than those on domestic foods. However, FDA tests show a wide margin of safety.

While there should not be alarm concerning pesticide residue in foods, there also must not be complacency, Price says. Continued responsible judgment and caution are required of those who use pesticide chemicals for whatever purpose.

—SPJST ROSES NEED ATTENTION IN FALL Good cultural practices can make a September rose garden a place of beauty and the gardener the envy of the community.

If you aren't satisfied with the quality and amount of your looms, give more attention to fall management practices, suggests Everettt Janne, Extension landscape horticulturist at Texas A&M University.

He says not to fertilize roses at this time of the year. Fertilizer, especially nitrogen, tends to produce soft, lush growth that will be damaged by the comMing winter,

VPSTNTK Many roses, he notes, are showing signs of iron deficiency — leaves turn yellow, but the veins remain green.

Chelated iron or iron sulfate sprayed on the foliage will give a quick "green up" but soil application gives a more lasting effect, says Janne.

Rose gardens should be kept clean.

The specialist suggests that all infected and fallen leaves be destroyed.

Pick faded blossoms before the petals begin to fall and continue the spray program into the fall, he adds. Mildew and blackspot are especially serious this year, he notes.

Mites have caused much trouble for Texas flower growers, he notes. Since these insects quickly become immune to constant use of one material, Janne suggested a switch in miticides. Be sure he adds, to spray the foliage on the bottom of the plant where the mites are concentrated.

Preparations for new rose beds can be started now so they will be ready for early spring planting. Roses need a well-drained soil. Add peatmoss or other decomposed organic matter to aid the soil drainage. Janne says if the soil is heavy and is slow to drain; It's a good idea to raise the level of the bed from four to six inches above the surrounding soil. Redwood boards or brick edging can be used to hold the soil in place.

Locate the bed, advises Janne, where the plants will get at least six hours of sunshine each ady and plant varieties adapted in the area.

— SPJSTEAT YOUR BROCCOLI, CHILDREN There's something about green vegetables that turn up little noses at the dinner table.

And U. S. Department of Agriculture researchers have found this may be the reason many American children, while fairly well fed, have diets low in two important vitamins — A and C. Miss Frances Ileasonover, Extension foods and nutrition specialist at Texas A&M University, says that a recent study at the University of Minnesota showed children's vitamin A intake related to their feelings toward dark green and yellow vegetables and the mother's opinion about the importance of serving foods rich in the vitamin.

"When the mother had some knowledge of nutrition and the father a higher than average income and education level, the families were likely to have a satisfactory intake of vitamin C rich foods," Miss Reasonover points oust.

Wednesday, October' 4, 1967 However, where the mother had lit tle nutrition knowledge or the father a low income, vitamin C intake Via :3 below recommended levels.

"Vitamin A helps keep mucous IT1 em cranes :firm and resistant to infection and the skin smooth and soft," the specialist says. "It also protects from night blindness."

Miss Reasonover suggests eating foods each day, such as eggs, deep yellow squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots, apricots, cantaloupe or dark, green leafy vegetables, broccoli or or green peppers for vitamin A. She recommends a serving each day of grapefruit, oran ge ; canto:loll-pc or tropical fruits, raw strawberries, broccoli, brussels sprouts, green pepper orsweet red pepper for adequate vitamin C. LI.ANO COUNTY ESTABLISHri; DEER HUNTING CLEARING HOUSE The Llano County Chamber of Commerce and the Hill Country Livestock Raisers' Assn. have jointly created a hunting clearing house for deer hunters and member landowners, according to JIM Inks, secretary of the association.

Called the first of its kind in the state, trained personnel will answer the telephone calls from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily beginning Nov. 1, 1967.

Hunters anywhere can call Area Code 915 247-4103 and secure the name and telephone number of a landowner looking for hunters. No collect calls will be accepted.

Inks said the primary purpose of the new organization was to improve communications between hunter and landowner in order to prement a more efficient harvest of the large deer herd in Llano County.

"It's an introduction service designed to get the hunter and the landowner together," he said. "From then on, the landoWner and hunter can work out their own arrangements."

As a landowner himself, Inks said he has received telephone calls at all hours of the day and night from hunters looking for a place to hunt at daylight.

"It's difficult to be very friendly over the phone at '2 a.m.,," he said.

The service will be free to both the landowner and the himter. Cost will be shared by he Association and the Llano Chamber of Commerce, but will work out of the Chamber of Commerce office in Llano,

Wednesday, October 4, 1967' SIX STATE PARKS DAM/IWO)

BY BEULAH. Initial reports from the hurricane damage area shows damage to six state parks in the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas, according to a report from field personnel of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Total monetary damage of State parks property will not be known until waters have subsided and full inventories taken.

Goose Island State Park near Rock;: port and Bentsen-Rib Grande State Park near Mission seemed the hardest hit, according to the report.

Goose Island has been cut in two, one rest room and one shelter demolished and the old bridge to the island .destroyed. About 20 trees were blown down.

Prior to the hurricane, construction crews were dredging a boat channel at the eastern tip of the island. Damage to the project will not be known until later.

Bentsen-Rio Grande State Park was innundated by flood waters with only the roof of the ranger's residence retimining visible. However, movable property was evacuated to higher ground prior to the floods.

Bill Matthews, park superintendent at Falcon, reported a tree falling on a camping trailer prior to the floods at Bentsen. The trailer was freed and moved to higher grounds before flood waters rose. More than 50 per cent of the trees were reported blown down.

Matthews also reported the destruction of the concessionaire's marina, at Falcon State Park. The marina was valued around 410,000. Other dama g e to Falcon was reported as minor.

Some 5,500 refugees from the southern tip of Texas weathered out the hurricane in Falcon State Park, Matthews reported.

Gonad State Park reported damage caused by flooding. Initially water was wour inches deep in the park ranger's residence and 18 inches deep in the museum. Six trees were blown down in the park.

Lake Corpus Christi State Park, near Mathis, reported light damage to • buildings while some 40 trees were blown down. Dirt roads in the park were washed badly by running water.

Port Isabel Lighthouse in Port Isabel weathered the storms with only four windows blown out. Matthews re-• ported much debris from other build-

Vt8THAIK logs was deposited around the base of the .historic lighthouse.

INSURANCE. POLICIES PR GOOD READING Read any good insurance po Kiel lately?

Mrs. Doris Myers, Extension home management at '.? Sts reading over your policies rl'he rt,e,on, says the sPecialis t , is that i . insurance, or health insurance proraipri,> that were adequate last year may be outdated this year. Family circumstances change, and costs of living continue upward.

Changes in family circumstances to consider are a new baby in the family or a child who has reached age . 18.

Many .group hospital insurance plans list 18 as the cut off age of coverage.

And you want to be sure the new addition to the family is covered by your group policy.

Other changes to consider are college education looming ahead for the children or retirement which. may be just around the corner.

"All of these situations need planning and preparation," Mrs. Meyers points out. "Your life insurance program like your savings and investment pro grams play a vital role in helping meet the changing situation"."

The Health Insurance Jiclitute advises looking over health insurance policies at least once a year. Hospital and medical costs have ,mounted steadily, Mrs. Meyers advises, and an old benefit schedule may not meet enough of the costs.

New types of health insurance programs areoffered with new coverages.

"Check your old policies before taking out new Ones to avoid paying for the same coverage. twice," Mrs. Meyers re.commends: "With proper planning your premium. dollars can give broader coverage."

SPJ T BAYTOWN AREA 77 CAUSED BY OXYGEN ON The fish kills along the upper Telkas Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurrisane Beulah were caused by lack of dissolved oxyg;en aggrivated by pollution, high tides and flooding rivers, according to James Stevens, coastal fisheries supervisor of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Stevens, stationed at La. Porte, said the high tides encouraged fish to move up the channel and upper rains forced

Stevens said the :movement of wakr released rcutrientS and distributed the organic matter which had settled to the bottom. Once i„o the water, the nutrients and Or matter consumed the oxygen and the fish died before they were able to move out of the area.

Wednesday, October 4, 1967 YOUTH USES INSTALLMENT CREDIT Who uses installment credit? A popular reply is, "Who doesn't! „ But Wanda Meyer, Extension home management specialist with 'faxes Afz" ,.4 University, reports figures indicate some peo p le are using it more than others.

Installment credit increased $8 billion in 1965, according to the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan, Mrs. Meyer .explains that the .major reason for this increase is a change in behavior on the part of peo-; ple who van best afford to pay their • debts.

Early in 1905,- only 32 per cent of families with $15,000 or more annual income owed installment debt, and only 11 per cent owed in excess of $2,000. Early this year, 47 per cent of this income roup owed installment debt and 19 per cent owed in excess of $2,000. Of those receiving $3,000 income or less, proportion owing installment debt dropped from 28 per cent in early 1965 to 23 per cent in early 1966.

Use of installment credit is most frequent among young families and is infrequent among older units. A significant finding in 1966 was that „only: 58 per cent of the families whose head was 18 to 24 years old owed installanent debt, in contrast to 69 per cent of those families in 1965. This drop in credit usage can be attributed mainly

RSTNiK to the increase in the proportion of this group who were under 21 in 1966, and therefore, not generally eligible for credit.

--SPJSTFood Marketing Food marketing, no matter how it's viewed, is big big business in terms of the number of people employed.

Last year about 13 million workers were employed in the agricultural marketing field, reports Dr. W. E. Black, Extension economist in marketing and policy at Texas A&M University. This number, he adds, is more than twice the number of workers employed on all the farms in the United States.

High Protein Oats May Result A wild oat species introduced into this country from the Mediterranean region could serve as foundation for major increase in protein, reports the U. s. Department of Agriculture. Scientists found that collections of the wild species contain high protein, high kernel weight and disease resistance.

They are now working to breed these good traits into commercial oat varieties.

Pokraeovani MalinkY, ZlutY Vori g ek vyskoeil vesele z kiilny, jednou dvakrat zaStekal a otiral ulisne hlavu o Franckovy noby. Francek ho pohladil po hlave, potrepal po zadku, div se Vokikk radosti nezblaznil. Bylo videti, ze jsou oba dobrYmi kamarady. V celern staveni bylo jako po vymi-eni. Nikd se nic nepohnulo, ani hlasek se odnikud neozval.

Francek zaprarZi a otevfenYmi dvehni ve:j;;e1 na sin. Otfel zaprakne boty o vich slamy a vekl do velke seclnice. U rozlehlYch, zelenYch kemen sedela starCi eena a modlila se ze starych modliteb, pinYch obrazkil.

"Dobre odpoledne piJeju, teta!" pozdravil FranCek y e dve • ich. Nebyla, jeho tetou, ale je u nas zvykein kahleho star,iho eloveka oslovovati "strYeku", "teto" : jako oni zase na,vzdjem kaklemu ralaRimu tykaji.

Posadil se ze Siroka a usmival se rozpaeite: "Jste sama doma. To jsem rad!"

Teta Palasova usmala se to jeho uplinmosti, na polici a povidala: "Ba, vgichni se rozbeheli po vsi. Tatinek Sel do hospody a VaSek, kdo vi, kde se tould. Babieka sedi nekde na slunieku a vyhriva se. Beduje na to pichani, a ,sluni.eko nejlepSi doktor.

"Ta, ja!" povzdychla, "a prkt nedice. Co z toho bude ze vklro, ni-li se to. Ale divim se ti, le jsi v torn horku prikl!"

Podival se na ni uprin e a jeho dre oei byly piny svetla, "Psala Marenka?", zeptal se proste, ..,„ale srdce jeho bylo pl-no nedoekavostl.

"Psala," klidne potvrdila Palasova.

Podival se n ani. mleky, ale v jeho oeich bylo tolik tiche radosti, Cevk.. mu porozumdba, jak tento hodn Loch me jeji deem rad a jak by vkchno pro ni dovedl, jenom ne ji zklamati.

Slzy ji naskoeily do di, rychle se obra', , tila-k protejSi stelae a s misniku snala nejake papiry.

VESTNIK "Tally man to psani!"

Rychle po nein said, rozbalil, dychtive preeet1 a jil. vstaval.

"Ram pak ul zas?", zdrlovala ho Palasova. "post dleuho jsem vas zlobil, z moclleni vyruSil. Pajdul", podival se na ni tak vroucne. Porozumela, ze chce bYti sans se svYm Stestim a .11Z ho nezdrZovala. Polibil ji ruku a utikal pies dvar do zahradky a za humna.

VoliSek za nim radostne zaStekl a fuze se divil, le si ho Francek ant nevSimin, ze ho ani po hibete nepohladil.

Zklaman zalezl pod kolnu a oddal se clamote.

Francek zatim nedbaje anavy a potu, ktOrY se m ulil po tvalich, pospichal po zaprakne silnici. Teprve v lesiku se zastavil. Vyhlecial utulne misteeko v nakypenem mechu v hustem vein mlazi, Tu usedl skryt pled celYm svetem, vytatil psanieko a Ceti.

Jeho zlata Marenka mu psala z daleka, az z Ameriky. Jeho srdce bylo .pino radosti. More mu ji nevzalo. du.Steku zlatou. Zastala mu verna, v dalce daleke, vzpominala na neho stale, ustaviene a teSi se na shledani.

Znovu proeital jeji prosta, uplinma slova: '"FrantiSltu rnirj mildeku jediny!

Vedel, co by mu rekla, kdyby ji oznamil, ze si vybral za nevestu Marenku Palasovou, dceru domkarovu. Jen penize rozhodovaly u tety Franckovy. Bez -penez nebylo pro ni lidskeho Stesti. To byly jediny zaklady, na nich2 myslila, spoeiva zivot, Bez nich nebylo pro ni nebylo Stesti.

Nikdy nepoznala lanky, cely jeji l,ivot byl pouze horeenYm shonem pa velSi a yetSi hromade draheho kovu, v nen:1Z videla zaklad vSeho livota.

Nastal nevylieitelny zmatek. Toho tu nebiyl nikdo pametnikem, aby byla sehtze takovYm zpiisobem ukoneena.
