FL ,GE OF ALLFGIAN "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, One Nation under Cod, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

As usual, de lc, IS eL,ne to Thanksgiving D.ly with so many things for which to be thankful that they take their blessings for -.;.anted_ are happy because of and a holiday.

Ask most any American. why lie thankful and he is likely to voice it variety of thoughts of 1- , aaiW and family and home and einuccil :Ind country. o is There is hardly an not thankful that he li That is natural: for lo':' countries as well as Mexican is proud of A' lorenelimen, can be said of Ganacila: Swedes and all others.

Americans are proud of America and thankful for living in this country, and it would be a good thing to have in mind more than a vague idea of why we are thankful for our country.

We have heard over and over that Americans are thankful for living in a land of freedom and opportunity. We sing of the "land of the free and the home of the brave," of "spacious skies" and "amber waves of grain." We are thankful for living in a democracy.

We rarely consider what it means to be thankful for these things. We were born with them, and we give only occasional and routine thought to the fact that this was prepared for us at a high cost in blood, work and sacrifice by our ancestors.

These conditions are appreciated best when they have been lost. We do not wish for this opportunity to regain our appreciation. It should not be necessary. As a fairly good substitute, we nave now the best opportunity we ever have had to observe, the effects of the lack of freedom, democracy and opportunity in Cuba, in Eastern Europe, and in much of Asia.

Freedom is a broad term which can include the others. T r ? tthe do they gained it chance without ilt 'Cney the kind of gm, and to make their own rules for living. They designed a democracy by which the people could govern themselves through elected representatives

Wednesday, November 27, 1968 responsible to the voters. Opportunity was here under this system for an individual to do the best he could for himself and his family by his own honest effort and to reap the reward of his toil.

Since the beginning a lot of frills have been added, and some of them have not contributed to freedom, democracy and opportunity. We have been willing to give up some freedom for the convenience of having our needs satisfied by government. This requires much bureaucracy that does the work of representative government. We have been willing to trade opportunity for guarantees of certain standards.

We are not in much danger of having freedom, democracy and opportunity taken away from us, but we are in danger of being talked out of them.

If we really are thankful for our American heritage we will be careful to protect it from erosion.

• • Thankful For Our SPJST. No matter where we live in Texas we have much to be thankful for on this day of official Thanksgiving.

First, of course, for life and health and citizenship in the greatest country ever known to mankind, we must be grateful.

How to show our gratitude? By devoting our life and health and citibenship to the service of our fellowmen and to our country. Of what other use are we?

Second, our thanks must' be felt for the bounties of Nature that support us, support all of the human race in a daily miracle we take for granted.

We can demonstrate our thankfulness for our many blessings by intensifying our cooperative determination on behalf of the communities where we live — and our SPJST. We have by no means reached our potential in any respect, as regards our Society. We should be grateful for the opportunities that confront us and that challenge us; grateful that our future has not been cut short by our own lethargy, indifference, or by outside forces.

We Are Still Pilgrims. We no longer give tharnks around a rough wooden table in a forest clearing. Our problems and reV,)atels have taken different shapes too, but they are basically the same.

VtSTNIIC

We arc still- making a pilgrimage, the same search for a fuller and more fruitful life under our basic freedoms.

And we are still thankful for the faith that sees us through adversity and guides us on that pilgrimage.

Thanksgiving Day was named for its meaning — the day that we come together to give thanks for our faith and our full life . . . and to remember that we are still pilgrims.

• • Things To Be Thankful For. It is estimated by one authentic source that upwards of 80 Million people will watch football today on television.

There is nothing wrong with that. But between turkey, punts and passes, it is hoped that there will be thoughts and expressions of gratitude where gratitude is clue.

To the lady of the house, to the mother of your ehildren, to the keeper of your home, say aloud what ought to be in your heart.

If you have a job, thank those who have made it possible because work that is wholesome. and gratifying is a bountiful blessing.

For the crimsoned leaf and the moonlit night, give thanks for nature's ever-renewable enchantment.

To friends sincere in their loyalty, say thank you.

Above all, to Him from whom all blessings flow, prayfully express yOur gratitude for health, hope, and the promise of a better tomorrow.

It is a far cry from 1621 to 1967, from William Bradford to Lyndon B. Johnson. The tiny colony at Pl y -mouthwasnlyerodwhnGv. Bradford issued his humble proclamation of thanksgiving.

Free men knelt to pray for divine guidance, for their meager blessings and a semblance of security — but most important, for the opportunity to work and enjoy the frUits of their labor.

At best, it's an imperfect orld. Millions will not have a crust of bread today and.must endure the tragedy of hungry children.

Thanksgiving at its proper best is giving thanks for country, fur its flag, for family and friends, far material blessings and spiritual heritage.

Let us, in humility and heartfelt appreciation, take time for that.

•

The world is in distress, but America still stands as the most fortunate of all lands. Nine out of 10 non-Americans have no conception of our affluence or of the spirit and system which produced it.

Abroad today in jungles and huts are thousands of our finest young men, discharging the highest duty of their lives. Include them in a prayer, for they are sacrificing tune and shedding blood in the cause of freedom.

In this column last week, it was erroneously stated that the lake Brother Robert Wayne Patton was 20 ye:trs old and a member of Lodge 88, Needville.

Brother Patton was 20 years old and a member of Lodge 81, Need:ille. tlie, Necrology Section, the "8" was le'l off the lodge number in the filst paragraph, where it should have been Lede'e No. 81, Needville.

Thankful for wonderful years that have flown; Thankful for sunshine and summer and rain; Thankful that wrong can he righted again.

Thankful for friends that arc 1 and sincere; Thankful for each preciinei day of the year.

Thankful for atore than I knew Or can see; Thankful for all Thou has given to me.

The Robstown Youth Club held a rummage sale on Nov. 8th and 9th in Robstown. The youth leader and her assistants, plus all, the youth club members, set their goal for $500 so that the club can purchase a used school bus to use for their transporation and also as a meeting place. We all wish you success with this project and I'm sure your goal will be reached as the group is very ambitious and doesn't mind working. Now, I'll do a little bragging about the youth of our lodge. They are a group of young people who are well behaved, have respect for everyone, and while attend,' any meetings, they are very attentive. Attentiveness of youth at lodge or district meetings is very important.

When the youth listen at these gathering then everyone present can hear the speeches and not just mumbling.

My husband and I just came home from our trip to Virginia. I will write about our trip at a later date.

Don't forget, Dec. 1st, at the Nueces Co. Show Barn — meeting and Christmas program. Sisters are asked to bring their favorite pastry and sandwiches. Sec you on that date — 2:30 pill.

We have several projects started for Christmas that will have to be completed, Some Christmas decorations will be started to decorate the hall for our Christmas program, as well as parts and practice completed for our program. Also our Santa Pal project will be decided on at this meeting. December is always such a busy month for everyone, so we need all to pitch in and help.

We have several new members accepted into our lodge, and I would like to extend an invitation to all of you to come out and join the youth club. Our meeting will be at 2 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 1, in the Youth Room.

The adult meeting will be held at the same time. At this meeting one or two new youth leaders will be elected. So come on, all you new members, come out and help select one, or better still, volunteer. We have a wonderful bunch of boys and girls and although I love each and everyone of them, I feel like they need a change. Until I get to feeling much better I just can't devote as much time to this work as I should, and besides, there are so many capable people who can carry on much better than I have.

We will have our teen hayride Wednesday, Nov. 27th so all you teens come on out and buck the cold wind. One guest per member is allowed. We will meet at the hall at 5:30 p.m., weather permitting.

LODGE NO. 48, BEYERSVILLE Dear Members, The Thanksgiving supper and program at the lodge hall was enjoyed by a large group of members. The youth club performed well. Our adult members are to be commended for their attentiveness, especially since this takes them away from the domino games they enjoy.

Speaking of programs, guess what is just around the corner? Did some one say Christmas? Right! With this in mind, we want everyone to come to the !meeting at the lodge hall, Sunday, Dec. 1, at 3 p.m. Bring your ideas on: charity proj'ects, programs, parties!, gift exchange, caroling, decorating, or anything else I haven't mentioned.

See you there, Leona Stalmach Youth Leader —SPJ ST— LODGE NO. 135, ENNIS Hello Readers, In a few days we will start the various activities for the merry holidays.

Our first visit was to see the patients in the Ennis Nursing Home. The officers and I joined the patients and presented a large decorated basket of fruit and candy. This was presented during the Thanksgiving holidays.

Our next project will be our clothing drive. It is shaping up but we could never have too many clothes for the poor. If you have any contributions, please call me.

Don't forget our Christmas project for the orphans. Toys will be purchased, although if you have any you might be tired of or out-grown, we would be more than glad to add them to our collection. The children will be thoroughly delighted for our great thoughtfulness.

By the way, how did everyone enjoy our box supper? Truthfully, I thought it was a good turnout. It was not only profitable for the club, but we had an enjoyable evening. I was so proud of the young gentlemen in the youth club fm bidding on the secret boxes, although I was in doubt when the young gentleman bid over his allowance and had to journey over to his parents for a few more pennies.

Hope you didn't have to wash too many dishes to makern for the additional amount. It was exciting to see the expressions on the girls' faces.

I must comment on one particular youth member. She was Denise Skri-

Wednesday, November 27, 1068 vanek. Denise's decorated box was typical, carrying out the Thanksgiving theme. In addition to this, she had her complete set-up at her table under candle light. This was so Inapressiva and well enjoyed.

We are at the peak of our candy sale. In about two weeks all sales will be final. Believe it or not, you have sold almost $800 worth of delicious candy. Did you know you were such good salesmen and salesladies? I am proud of you! Without your tremendous help I might have had candy coming out my ears for months.

I wish we could see your faces again at our meetings and socials. Come and join. us in all the fOn. Our next teenage dance will be Nov. 30 at the Sokol Hall from 8 to 12; music by "Time Before."

I want to say thank you in a great big way to all the wonderful parents in our youth club. Without your help in many ways, my job wouldn't be completed. You deserve the best for all your cooperation.

Fraternally, Mrs. Patsy Slovak Youth Leader LODGE NO. 25, ENNIS Dear Readers, Our last meeting was held on Nov. 10th at 3 p.m. We had a nice meeting even though there were not very many present.

We made plans for our dance which will bee held Saturday, Nov. 30th, at 8:30. Music will be by Lonnie Dean and his Deans. This will be a Country and Western Dance, so come on out and enjoy the fun.

Also on Wednesday night, Nov. 27th we will have to set up the tables for this dance, so plan on being at the hall about 7:30 p.m. . We will also need help on Saturday night the 30th.

We are going to make posters for this dance, so if you need some poster paper let me know. We are selling advance tickets for this dance so if you need any more let me know. (Points will be given for selling tickets).

V roce 1910 p. Kostoryz prikoupil v sousedstvi dalSi dva tisice tri sta (2,300) okra pozemku od renoarn Robertson, Rabb a Grim.

V rote 1920 se SC11.1 pristehoval co Zenaty natrvalo a cela KoSarova rodina, jeho bratr Frank a jejlch matka.

Kostoryz, Folda a KoSar mail nejvetO zasluhy o zvelebeni teto krajiny.

Oni to byli, co zaaali prodavat svoje pozemIcy, nalcoupene riaSinctim. Ti, co zde se pristehovali a nemeli penize sobe koupit pozemek, neb zarizenou farmu, tak oni jim farmy pronajali, aby se zde mobil usadit a po pripade koupit pozdeji.

NaSe prvni schnze byla svolana na 7. hnora 1965, do Taylor, ittulny SPJST. Schilze se sileastnili -v gichni tti Cleno y e tiskoveho vYborti, br. Nick Morris, redaktor, br. E. L.

Jeden dopis byl oti g ten s vyjmutim jednoho odstavce. Dva dopisy nebyly y ttbec oti gteny a pisatele teehto dopisu byli tivedomeni tajemnikem, bratrem Hugo Schereakem.

Bylo nalehano na itteclniky hlavni U •adovny aby obeas ptispeli neenn do Vestniku k objasneni fraternalismu.

Nage Cast vyhra2ena pro mbideZ dostavala mnoho dopisti zdyojnasobnele z jedne rodiny v samY eas. Na toto jsme upozornili br.

TakZe by nebylo dobre je teat' srad'ovat.

Po savodu bylo v ge napraveno.

Behem toll° roku jsme obdr2eli (9) de yet dopisu od redaktora pro posouzeni. Sest, (0) dopisu bylo otisknuto jenom s mengi opravu. Jeden dopis byl zadr2en pro obsah nehodici se do na geho bratrskeho Vestniku. Jeden dopis byl kritika, 2e roman je otiskovan nepravidelne, a ize neni v kahlein eisle. Ocipoveci' na tento dopis poslal na gs tajemnik Hugo Schefeak. Jeden dopis obdrZen a neuvetejnen kdy2 pisatel toho dopisu odeptel je ptepsati. V eervnu tohoto roku bylo vydano s ylagtni eislo na pamatku 70-leteho vVroel. Bratr Nick Morris mule na toto Oslo Wit hrdY a zaslou21 si pochvaly za praci dobte vykonanou. Tohle eislo clostalo pochvalu od elenstva, SPJST. 2e nab XX. sjezd se bli21, 16bor se usnes1 konati Schfizi pro podani navrhu stanovnimu vS7boru.

Schttze byla svolana na 17. sail 1967 do Templu. Po ptehledu cirkulace Vestniku mezi elenstvem, jsme k jistYm nahledilm a die toho jsme podavali na ge nayrhy. Ale na ge navrhy nebyly nagim elenstvem ptijate a byli jsme od mnoWich na gich eeskSrch elenti kritisovo,ni. Za prvni byli jsme obvineni, 2e chceme Ceskou east ve Vestniku zastavit. proskoumani navrhti nasli jsme, 2e tomu tak nebylo, a ani nam na mysl takova rny glenka nepti gla. Byli jsme zklamani a znovu jsme uva2ili tutu kritiku a za tim fieelem jsme svolali novou si na 20. ledna 1968 abychom zmenily nage citivej gi navrhy a tak usnokojili elenstyo.

V teto schfizi byli ptitomni vAlchni

Ve sttedu 27. listopadu 1968 tii alenove vYboru a dale bratii Nick Morris, redaktor; Jos. F. Holasek Jerome Kopeck od eechoslovak Pub. Co.; August Kacii, pravni radce. Take jsme pozvali do sehilze v9bor O&A, kter9 konal schtzi v to samou dobu, aby prisedli k nam vyslechnout nage jednani. Oceni1i jsme jejich spolupra.ci.

Bratr Jos. Holasek vecne vysvetlil praci a nesnaze ye vydavani Vestniku kadd9 clruh9 tYden tak jak jsme navrh; take zdradeni papire. Udrdeti Vestnik jako t9denik jest velice prospa g ne, de mildeme nal zpravy vddy o einnosti v radech, oznamovani blidleich se einnosti atd. Ale pri vydavani kadd9 clruhy tYden novinky o techto einnostech by byly jiz zastarale.

Po uvadeni tecihto bode jsine se usnesli podrdeti Vestnik tak jak se vydava dosud jenom s men gimi zmenami. eeska predni stranka bude posunitta. dovniti Vestniku a dal gi Ceske stranky budou nasledovat. Zadni, stranky jsou nechany pro oznamky, a stranka 32 vddy ponese oznainku pro SPJST. My jsme proto aby eeska Cast byla, take aby pojmula v gechny Ceske dopisy nagich Clem, a aby byla informativni, a prina gela historicke vzclelavaci alanky a v9Plne.

Pro nage star si eleny bude otiskovan roman. V padu kdyd by bylo mnoho aesk9ch dopisti roman bude zkracen nebo pro to vydani vynechan s redaktorovou vysyetlivkou.

Navrhujeme aby Vestnik byl posilan vgcm elenthn s vyplacenYmi pojistkami a nebyl jim zastavovan jako se to deje.

Take navrhujeme aby zavrdene dopisy byly cela ofotografovane a original poslan pisateli zpet.

Navrh na sesazeni redaktora musi byt' jednohlasne podporovan vgemi eleny tiskoveho vYboru. Tento navrh musi b9ti p •edloden hlavnimu tadu a dvoutretinovou vet ginu made redaktor b9ti sesazeri.

Navrhujemc aby tiskovY v9bor dostal plat $50.00 za kacldou schnzi a milovne.

K zavern prejerne si podekovati bratru Nick Morrisovi, redaktoru, za dobte vedeny Vestnik; Hlavni n •adovne za spolupraci; a take bratru Holaskovi vydavateli. Na g e price za poslednich let byla prinnerna a ye spojene snaze v9boru elenstvu lep gi a dobre vedeny Vestnik bylo nagim cilern.

Lekcc jedenatilekita — Lesson 31 SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION In today's lesson, we are repeating part of a previous lesson, relating to correct Czech spelling and punctuation.

The items touched on concern some of the most often-made mistakes by some of our Czech correspondents. Therefore, we feel it bears repeating.

Zde opakujeme lekee z minuleho eisla tkkajici se deleni vet a praVopisu.

TYka se to chyb, ktere se nejeasteji delaji eeskYmi dopisovateli. Prato, yeie to stoji ,za opakovani.

Use of capital letters: There is a difference in the usage of capital letters in Czech and English. Ex.: Yesterday was Wednesday, July 14, 1968.

Veera byla streda 14, eetvence 1968.

Consequently, days of the 'week and month are NOT capitalized. NOTE ALSO THAT A SIMPLE PERIOD IS USED AFTER THE DATE. Proper nouns, that is, names of jerson, places, things, nations, etc. (hut not religious bodies or organizations), titles of books, films, etc. take capitals: Ex.: Karel Dvorak, Wilsonovo nadraii, Dunaj, Anglican, Cechy, Smetanova, opera, "Prodana, nevesta", etc., and NaS'e iimsko-katolieka cirkev; Velika, slovanska podporujici jednota.

Capitals are not used for emphasis or for news headlines in Czech. On the whole, the use of capital letters is rather restricted in Czech.

Here are other hilp-Ortant points in spelling: Pronouns and possessive adjectives of

the POLITE — FORMAL usage are capitalized, as are those of the FAMILIAR — INFORMAL usage: Vy, Vint, Vas; Ty, Tvtij, Tobe. The latter are ALWAYS in caps; the polite form is capitalized only when referring to one person. If you arc referring to a group (plural), then the pronouns are not capitalized.

A common error made by many Czechs in this area is that when they use the formal Vy, Vas, Varn, they use a PLURAL verb, although they are addressing only one person. WRONG: Vy, (1 person) jstc yeera jell (In mesta.

RIGHT: Vy jste y eera jel do rnesta. Do not use a plural verb unless you arc speaking to more than one person, The pronoun ji is not capitalized; neither do we capitalize adjectives and adverbs indicating nationality. (This IS done in English). Ex.: Main eeskou Zenu. (I have a Czech wife). Mlityime &sky. (We speak Czech).

Punctuation marks arc the same in Czech as in English: (See also Lesson 5.) teeka (.) yyk•ienik (!) earka (,) uvozovaci strednik (;) znamenka (" ") dvojteeka (:) zavorky ( ) pomleka (—) rozdelovaci otaznik (?) tznamenko (-) One big difference in English and Czech punctuation has to do with the use of commas.

Commas are used before and after a relative clause: Ztratil jsem Whit, kterou mi — before and after a noun clause: Je dobre, ze totnut rozinniS. before and after an adjective clause: Wiechen cukr, fSechtia haw*.

— before and after an adverbial clause: Jakmile me uvidel, prye.

Finally, quotation marks are always preceded by a colon. Ex.: thee rekl synovi: !`Pracuj a ue se!" (In Czech, the first quotation marks are on the line, not inverted, and ARE inverted at the end of the quotation. Our machines here do not print the double inverted quotation marks. The trend here in the US is to use the standard English quotation marks —" ").

Roinov Pod Radho:S"tern. — Tradieni ranovske slavnosti vyvrcholily vala§skou svatbou se skuteenY-rni svatebeany z Trojanovic. Po priivodu 500 freinkujicich se konal v amfiteatru v Ro2nove hlavni program, ye kterem vystoupily soubory lidove tvorivosti z celo republiky a take ze, Sveclska a Itakuuska.
