From The Vitor A TRIBUTE To SP4 NORMAN D. SCHULTE Bro. Norman D. Schulte was the ninth casualty Dom the 1.1nks of our SP,TST who made the supreme sacrifice in the war hi Vietnam, a war that is coSting the United States the lives of thousands of young men and billions of dollars. Your editor's fraternal and solemn duty, for our entire member ship, is to convey our condolence to the surviving family. There are not words we can say that can heal or help ease the deep sorrow in the hearts of his loved ones. FranklY, about all any of us. as brother and sister fraternalists can do is to extend our sincerest sympathies to his bereaved family and convey to them that we hope that Bro. Norman's sacrifice was not made in vain.

—Ed i tor YoUr editor is grateful to Sister Tillie Helmcamp for gathering the information and to ,Sister Ellen Gill for notifying us of the loss of Norman's life. We here publish Sister Helmcamp's letter as her personal tribute to Brother and Sister Carl A. Schulte.

S/P 4 NORMAN D. SCHULTE S/P 4 Norman D. Schulte, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Schulte of 502 East 26th, was born on November 4, 1946; in Houston. He graduated from Reagan Senior High School in May 1968, having a great talent for mechanics. He went into the servic,e on June 3, 1968.

Norman spent a furlough with his family in November before going to Vietnam. It was then that lie attended our Thursday Night Social where he was recognized by Louis Hanus and was given a great round of applause by the many attending. He left Houston on November 9, and arrived in Vietnam on the 13th.

On the morning of August 16, 1969, Mrs. Schulte heard a knock on the front door and thought it was their daughter. When she opened the door, there was a United States Army major standing there, and Mrs. Schulte knew he was the bearer of the terrible news that would put an end to all their hopes of having their son return home safely. On August 13, Norman was critically injured and another fine son gave his life for our country. Who knows what he might have accomplished if he would have had a chance for a full life? With Norman's great, friendly personality, easily loved by all

Wednesday, October 8; 1969 all who knew him, I wouldn't hesitate to say that he would have had a brilliant life.

At our Thursday Night Social on August 21, Louis Hanus announced the sad news of Norman's death, and several hundred people bowed their heads in respect to this fine soldier. The funeral service was on August 22, at Heights Funeral Home and then at All Saints Catholic Church. The high esteem in which Norman was held was evident as teachers, schoolmates, and friends came to mourn his passing.

Norman is survived by his parents, a sister, Diane Faye Weikel, grandpar-. ents, and other relatives.

Being in the combat -zone and not being able to get a Mother's Day card, he composed a beautiful poem instead and sent it to his parents. It told of his sad departure from our country, and I quote: "Later in the day I stepped upon that plane only to See The 011e8 I loved so much standing there, waving their love to me!"

In another part he tells that the weeks of dodging bullets turned into months, but that he knew the time would come when he would be back here and "able to stand tall," and he concluded his poem by saying: "The time will come to get on that freedom bird for home Never to ste p- another foot on this land that I have roamed!"

Fraternally, Tillie Heliiicamp A a youth on the farm in the East Gate, Liberty County, area. I knew a Mr. and Mrs. P. Janik who belonged to SPJST Lodge Liberty No. 136, whieh is now disbanded. My parents and brother and older sister also were members of Lodge 136. The youngest daughter of Bro. and Sis. Janik was named Stephine. As is so common, the younger people left to go to the cities and towns. I left in 1938 to go to Houston. It wasn't until sometime in the 50s that I again saw Ste p hine and at that time she introduced her husband, Carl Sehulte, to our family. It was a pleasant reacquainting for us.

That is how we met Norman, their son,. a fine, friendly and pleasant young man. Now, we are to see him no more. From our immediate family and the entire membership of our SPJST our heartfelt sympathy to the surviving family and let us keep his honorable memory in our hearts as long as we live. Such will be much more precious than any monument of stone!

Dr. Vaclav Hunacek, professor of Slavonic studies at Charles University in Prague, has joined the agency staff for the 1:369-70 school year. Tis visit to Texas is sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education.

Fluent in English and five other languages, Dr. Hunacek will visit with Texas teachers, students, civic and professional groups during Hie next, nine months, He will work out of two agency sections, foreign languages and social studies.

"We have a real opportunity to establish an information center on Czechoslovakia at the agency," Dr. Hunacek says. "This information could be particularly valuable for teachers comparing the history, culture, industry, sports - all the different facets of life in our two countries."

Hunacek brought the nucleus for the center along with Inin on the flight from Prague 30 books plus a collection of slides, tapes, and maps. Another 500 books are being shipped.

"These include some texts in the Czech language and other fields, of course. However, many of them are more specialized reading books on industry, music, sports, cooking, or any subject that helps 'depict the life of a country."

English. Some, such as the language texts, are necessarily printed in Czech.

The Agency foreign language section is now sending a questionnaire to schools across the state outlining the topics Dr. Hunacek could discuss with teachers and students during his visit.

These range from changes in the Czech language system to mutual influences between his country and the United States.

"It is not as important for an American to know the language of Czechoslovakia as it is to understand the background of the country and the influences upon it," he explains. "We try to explain facts through comparison, by contrasting, for example, the Music of Gershwin and Dvorak. The study of the Czech language, however, is particularly valuable for students With a Czech background who already speak it."

Dr. Hunacek, the fourth foreign consultant to spend a full school year as a member of the agency staff, will also work closely with teachers of the Czech language in Texas schools.

Czech is now the third most popular language spoken in Texas, ranking only below English and Spanish. Other agency foreign consultants have come from Germany, Prance, and Mexico.

Book" or "Cinderella Scene" on ay at the Texas State Fair in Dallas.

Mrs. Johnnie L. Matl of 700 Hunter Rockdale, and a member of Lodge 87, Dist. II, was invited to exhibit the "Cinderella Scene" she made for the junior-senior banquet of Rockdale last May. Hours of planning, scaling and building went into this project, The junior class furnished the material to build this scene for their theme of "Story Book," Because of illness the exact size and amount of material needed was not decided until two and a half weeks before the banquet. It was then up to Mrs. Matl to find these materials.

After all the material was gathered to,gether she had only 10 days left to complete what she had promised to do.

Being a person who tries to keep her promises, she found it necessary to work at least 20 hours a day for the remaining ten days. The smallest house for the 3 pigs) could be no smaller than 1 ft, high and square, because it was necessary that it be seen 100 feet away. This meant that the three bears' and the witch's (Hansel and Gretel) houses must be scaled larger. The castle of Prince Charming and Cinderella's chariot be scaled in proportion.

In order that this be made and deliver in a hurry, Mrs. Matl designed each house on a separate plywood base so that it could be carried in her car.

The castle is 5 feet high and 3x3 ft. square. The fence around the castle is on a separate board 34 x 36 inches square, The houses are furnished and lit with electric lights. The witch's house has an open oven and a table which can be seen through the open windows.

These furnishings are made by a special secret recipe (from sugar) and

glazed to look like china. The three bears were also made by Mrs. Matt reoni the same recipe and inside can be seen Coldiloeks' bed made from pretzels, with a pretzel ladder going to the upstairs.

During the construction of this project, Mrs. Matl found it necessary to learn to use her husband's saber saw and power drill. lie is an employee at Alcoa-Rockdale, and time was of major concern.

A special icing was perfected by Mrs. Mail and her daughter, Olivia, made many batches of the mixture using over 150 lbs of sugar, 73 dozen egg whites, 10 lbs, hardening agent. 250 lbs. selected candies, chewing . gum, gum drops, several cases of styra foam, and additional articles front packing crates, etc., that could be found.

Several cans of paint, hobby shop look-like grass and glazing compound were used in the scene which covers two 4'..x3' plywood boards. In order to find a large enough place for it to be exhibited at the fair, Mrs. Matl was compelled to re-do the base scene in order that it be exhibited where it would be enjoyed by the little children who visited the fair It seemed that every time she thought she had a problem solved, she found three more to overcome. She said she could not help but think of a quotation recently printed in the Vestnik, about Thos.

A. Edison saying, "I will not give up — I have found 90 ways that will not work, so I'll try some others!" This statement has remained in Mrs. Matl's mind and gave her courage to keep trying when she thought all had been tried that could be tried and it would have been easy just to say forget it. State Youth Director James Janousek was indirectly responsible for

helping her in a time of trouble. She had car trouble the clay she took the scene to Dallas and by coincidence James had told her at the royalty contest at Seaton that his fathe_ had it garage in Dallas and gave her his telephone number. She remembered the conversation with James and was able to get her car fixed that dey. She said she wiLi given royal to by James' parents and uncle, Waller, and therefore kept her en t husiasui and was able to succeed with her "mission impossible." he says she'd recommend their work to any and all.

If you go to the fair, go see the exhibit in the Women's Building (by the book doors. in the Jr. Art DeUa•ttnerit), anytime between now aLid the 19th, Thus project has taken • aporoxitel y 700 hours of work, plus several hundred dollars in materials. 'lake your children to see it but do not let them touch it - it is not edible. it has been sprayed with a perserva 'Live as well as an insecticide for ants like sugar, too!

worms set in on some of the pastures and really trimmed the grass. The gardens are started but because of all kinds of insects the things just can't grow, either. The yard is filled with shrubs in bloom. The rosebushes came to life after the long drouth, and are blooming right along. Some at the shrubs that bloom in the spring are mixed up after the tains, and are in bloom now. The pear tree was also loaded with blooms last week.

I must mention that we had the first Repka reunion last Sunday at Lodge Pokrok 88 in Houston and everyone there really enjoyed everything. We had the opportunity to see their Chandelier Ballroom which is just beautiful and also all their other rooms that they have for different occasions. They really are prepared for that kolache sale. The weather was nice and we had our tables and everYthing on the back porch. We had a nice turnout and every family brought a basket lunch with all the goodies. Some were interested iu watching ball games on TV, others had different games, and the rest enjoyed themselves in conversation. I am sorry the families around Temple didn't get to come. There were about 70 people -who signed the register. Thanks to the Betnian Baethe and the Kadlecek families for providing things for us. Ed Kadlecek called the business meeting and asked for nominations for president. Milady 'Camas (that's me) was elected president, and took over the meeting. Mrs. Leona Bacon was elected secretary-treasurer. It was voted to have the reunion again next year on the fourth Sunday in September at the same place;. they really have the facilities there. Aunt Annie Baethe was the oldest member, and little Alan Ray Sostak, 6 weeks old, was the youngest. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Seethe was the oldest married cou ple( 59 yrs., I think). The youngest married couple was Mr. and Mrs. Ray Sostak, parents of the little boy mentioned above.

I hope to see all of you next year, and hope to give you a better report, since I didn't take notes and I didn't get to see the report that was taken then.

YOUTH SECTION FROM THE OFFICE OF THE STATE YOUTH DIRECTOR

Dear Headers and Friends: This report is being published in the Vestnik for the first time. Bro. Morris and I feel the membership would like to know what the youth clubs are doing, compared with a year ago at this time.

The first column (Lodge No.) represen ts the youth clubs within that lodge. In some cases where there are two ljstings for the same lodge the "j" denots a junior club (age 6-12 Only) and " }6" denotes a teen club (age 13-19 only), Tim second column (1968 Average MemLers) represents the average number youth during the period of June, July, and August, 1968, based on attendance at the monthly meetings.

The third column (10€19 Average Members) is a comparison of the same period for this year.

The last column (1969 Reimbursement) is the amount which the Su-

preme Lodge gave the club, based on the number of active youth attending.

A few points of information should be noted: 1. A blank space indicates the club membership at meetings is less than 10 before averaging. They are: junior and teen clubs of Lodge 6 Cottonwood; Lodge 24, Cyclone, Lodge 77, Bomarton.

2. The averages do not indicate exactly how many youth are active, since this approach reflects how poor or good the meeting attendance is in any one month.

3. The reimbursement is paid on the basis of 25 cents for each SPJST youth attending each meeting. Some clubs did not hold three meetings and their reimbursement is less than clubs of similar size that did conduct three meetings.

4. The following are not included in this report because the leader did not submit a report: Lodge 63, Sweet Home; Lodge 73, Seymour; Lodge 80, Holland; and Lodge 157, Lubbock.

Perhaps your lodge does not have youth activity, so attend one of these classes and find out what it is all about. We will be glad to work with you and start providing your youth with the benefits that other youth in the SPJST are presently enjoying.

Many times, concerned members do not make that step into youth work because of lack of knowledge, confidence, or because of unsureness, etc.

This is the perfect time to find out more and maybe you'll just like it.

The theme for these fall classes will revolve around what can be done during the winter months ahead. Many new ideas, projects, etc., will be presented along with the "how to's." A variety of 5 or 6 sessions will be of-

Wednesday, October 8, 1969 lered during the course of the day offer such things as leadership techniques, recreational program development, fund-raising projects, characterbuilding projects, crafts, and others.

Dates and places of these classes arc: Saturday, Oct. 18, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Lodge No. 6, Cottonwood (3 miles east of West on FM 2114).

Monday, Oct. 20, 9 to 5 Lodge No. 17, New Tabor (3 miles east of Caldwell on FM 166).

Wednesday, Oct. 22, 9 to 5, Lodge 49 Rowena.

Saturday, Oct. 25, 9 to 5, Hallettsville Community Center.

Check these dates and places to see which is most convenient for you.

Above all, leaders and assistants, make every effort to attend. It will be beneficial to you and your club. Furthermore, leaders, this is one of the two classes offered annually which the Supreme Lodge will reimburse you for.

Each director and leader is requested to bring a "white elephant" item wrapped in some way to conceal its identity. Try and see how clever and imaginative you can be in wrapping this item.

Anyone attending one of these classes will need to make themselves a name tag ahead of time. This tag should be something unique and different for which prizes will be awarded! There are no size limitations.

Each leader will be asked to tell something their club is doing or has done recently. This may he a project, activity, etc. lf you wish to bring article (s) along for this, it is fine, oftentimes, something visual is more effective. I believe we can all profit from sharing with one another.

Finally, dress is casual; come prepared to learn a lot to take home with you.

Feel free to write me if you have any questions.

Fraternally your, James J. Janousek, State Youth Director YOUTH DIRECTORS FROM THE DISTRICT ATTENTION, YOUTH CLUB OF LODGE NO, 9, SNOOK: I will he at your lodge on Oct. 12, to hold a meeting with you, at the usual time your youth club meets.

FROM THE LODGE YOUTH LEADERS LODGE NO. 135, ENNIS Dear Readers, The day finally came when we were fortunate to move in our new house.

Of course, we aren't quite settled but happy to be in it. We want to say thank you to the members of the youth club for assisting us during the busy move. This was very generous of you to give up your time for us.

In addition to the help, we were very surprised when the entire youth club — not a one was absent -- surprised us with a visit and gift Sunday night.

I must say this was a shock but we were proud of your thoughtfulness.

Thanks go to my assistant, Adell Valek, for making preparations. Even though we weren't settled we had a nice little party.

The youth club has purchased a new camera. Good luck to the photographer, Benny Valek. Hope you can get many attractive snap shots.

At our last meeting we had a guest, Jeanne Trojacek. ',She is from Lodge 25.

Glad to have you visiting our club.

Congratulations to the new state winners in the Royalty Contest — Queen Janice Haskovec and King Robert Urban.

See you at our next meeting on Oct. 12, Columbus' Day, at 2 p.m.

Fraternally, Mrs. Patsy Slovak, Youth Leader —SPJST LODGE NO. 142, HOUSTON Dear Readers, I want to say I'm sorry our trip to the zoo had to be postponed until a later date. On Sept. 20 our youth club went to Bryan Beach at Freeport and from all the bright and smiling faces, it seems that everyone really enjoyed themselves and I want to thank all the chaperones who were, Brothers and Sisters Virgil and Wyler Tanner, Woody and Doris Duve, Rosie Tumis, Mildred and Rudy Vrana, Gene and Henrietta Veselka, Gene Dornak and Charles Havran.

All of you youth remember our dance on Oct. 18; music will be by our own Rudy Vrana and band. This dance will be for everyone young and old and you youth are to remind your parents to

Fraternally, Wilma. Havran, Youth Leader SPJST--LODGE NO. 117, ROBSTOWN Dear Readers: Robstown youth club members toured the Corpus Cindsti Museum following their regular monthly meeting Saturday, Sept. 20. They met on the SPee-Je5T, had refreshments and then went on the tour which was most enjoyable. At the museum they played the treasure hunt game with one member, „Steve Leshin, winning a prize.

Each member received an India coin as a souvenir. They also watched three movies on Indians of the Southwest.

Tuesday evening, Sept. 23, the club members and invited guests attended a pop organ concert held at the Corpus Christi Little Theater with Hal Randall, of radio and TV fame, playing a varied program on the new theatrical organ. Later the group stopped for an ice cream treat.

One of the new projects for our club this fall is carrying football fans on the bus to out-of-town football games.

Drivers for the trips have been Dick Germer and Gene Hancir. We had 57 passengers making the trip to Falfurrias to see the varsity game, and 62 went to the junior high game in Beeville. Our problem now is finding a satisfactory way to limit our passengers to about 50, which is comfortable!

The club charges $1 to ride to a varsity game, and 50c to the junior high games. This project has helped us finish paying for our bus, and we hope to build up a maintenance fund before the season is over. MrS. Germer and I go as sponsors on the trips, and so far the groups have been well-behaved and appreciative of the service cur club is offering. The Robstown Chamber of Commerce has made inquiries about using our bus to take the merchants of Robstown to Laredo for a good-will trip later this fall, On Oct. 10, the Haggar slack factory will have an open house for Its new plant from 5 to 8 p.m. Our members are making plans to take the tour, beginning at 5:30. Everyone should meet at the entrance at that time, with parents and others encouraged to make the tour also.

Arrangements have been completed for our club to use the Robstown Roe-

We all ate our lunches and really enjoyed the lovely park with all its nice facilities, Then we journeyed on to Houston to the zoo.

I guess everyone decided it was a nice day to go to the zoo also since there really was a big crowd there, but we all really did have a nice time. We met the Melvin Marek family there from Pierce, too. We left the zoo at 5:30 and went back to Rosenberg to the park to eat some more. Then everyone enjoyed the nice playground equipment. We left the park at 7:30 and came back to Wharton, all tired, but happy.

Many thanks go to Mr. and Mrs. Alfred ,Sabrsula, Mr. and Mrs. Billy Dorris, Clarence Cerny and Larry Kucera for taking cars for our transportation; Mr. and Mrs. Preston Howell and Mrs. Julius Kalina, Jr., along with the other adults for chaperoning the trip.

Wednesday, October 8, 1969 LODGE NO. 29, TAYLOR Dear Members, Our youth club recently went on an enjoyable hayride. It went something like this: We boarded a trailer full of hay at about 9 last Saturday morning.

By 9:30 we were well on our way to spending an enjoyable day. The trailer headed for the river bottom and fun.

We arrived at the picnic grounds at 10:30 a.m. and immediately we headed for the river and swimming. After lunch, a game of football was organized and two teams battled it out for more than an hour and a half. Then followed a hot dog and marshmallow roast. Finally, we loaded up and headed homeward, singing all the way.

The trailer arrived back in Taylor at 6 p.m. We wish to express our sincere thanks to the chaperones, who stuck with us faithfully and lived through it all. They were: Youth Leader, Mrs. Amelia Pokorny, Assistant Youth Leader Mrs. Frances Tallas and her husband, Jerry, Mrs. Catherine Walker, and Mrs. Edwin Adamek.

We are all looking forward to the 70th anniversary of our Lodge Praha No. 29, Taylor. Our youth club will participate in the activities of the day.

—SPJSTA MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THIP , FBI The primitive law of the jungle is for beasts, not civilized people. Yet, an animalistic practict closely resembling jungle law exists today in the

Wedne9dsay-, Oeto-bett form of street- gangs in most of our major cities. : An east coast city with more than 200 street gangs recorded 33 gang slayings in 1968. During the first 7',:2 months of 1969, 29 youth in this city died in gang Wars. One 16-year-old victim of this jungle law was „shot to death when he refused to join a neighborhood gang.

Street gangs, of course, are not new to the American scene. Metropolitan areas have been plagued by roving bands of yonne. thugs for many years.

'The growth of gangs in number and size keeps pace with other rising problems. Because of the nature and constantly changing Makeup of these groups, no one can definitely state how many youths are involved.

Led by seasoned young thugs who have had many brushes with the law, street gangs build their reputations on terror and..intimidation. If misplaced hero-worship 'or the . desire to belong to a so-called "in" group' is not sufficient attraction for recruits, threats and ,ohYsical assaults are use.d to induee many teenagers to join. One law enforeement official familiar with gang activities stated that most members are forced to join through intimidation and threats.

For the most part, gang finances are obtained • through criminal activities,' including mugging, pursesnatching, robbery, burglary, blackmail, and money paid for -protection." Total disrespect for the law is ingrained in all members and each gang is honor-. bound to take, care of its own. The larger, well-organized: gangs often provide funds for bail and legal counsel when a member is 'arrested.

During, 1968, persons under 18 years. of age : accounted for 26- per cent of the total police arrests, In urban areas, the same age group accounted for 35 per cent of the 'total police arrests.

When only the serious crimes are considered, almost one-half of all arrests in 1968 were for persons under 18. Certainly, a big percentage of these arrests resulted from criminal activity of gang members.

Factors contributing to the existence of street gangs extend far beyond the reaches of law enforcement.

The glamour and appeal of gang membership must be removed, and a realistic, commonsense approach to youth crime must replace the trend of permissiyeness. Nothing short of: a concerted effort by- an aroused public, law enforcement, the eourts, and youth

Mrs. Harris, unhappy with her new drapes, refused to pay for them. When the drapery maker filed suit for his money. Mrs. Harris told the court: "He guaranteed that the drapes would be made to my entire satisfaction. Well, I am not satisfied."

"That's only because she is so finicky," retorted the drapery man. "To indst customers, these drapes would be just fine."

Nevertheless, the court ruled against him. The budge said that, having promised to satisfy her personally, he was obliged to live up to his promise.

As a rule, when you make a purchase in which your personal satisfaction is guaranteed, you are indeed entitled to be satisfied. Nevertheless, since this gives a customer so much leeway, the courts usually won't interpret the contract that way unless such an intention is clear. Thus: A contractor agrees to make some house repairs in a "satisfactory" manner. When the job was done, the home owner refused to pay, saying he personally was not satisfied.

The contractor promptly went to court, where he argued that the word "satisfactory" meant only that the work ,had to be good enough to satisfy the average customer.

And the court agreed, ordering the home owner to pay up. The judge said the contract did not specifically call for .a personal standard of satisfaction, it would be unfair to impose one arbitrarily upon the contractor.

Even if the contract does call for a personal standard of satisfaction, you still cannot reject the merchandise if you are not honestly dissatisfied. Consider this case: A young man bought a piano on the understanding ;that if he was not satisfied, he could cancel the deal within 30 days. He did try to cancel it --- but not because he didn't like the piano. It seems he had received his draft notice, and would soon have to

There is somthing many farmers can do now to improve field crop production next year. Dr. C. D. Welch, Extension soil chemist at Texas A & M University, suggests that farmers give consideratiou to outlining. spots in their fields where production. last year or over the years continues. below average.

The cause for the . lower yields, he adds, often is associated with plant food deficiencies. Close observance of plants growing on the spots will often give a strong hint as . to what is wrong, but Welch believes there is a better way.

He suggests that soil samples be taken from the problem areas and submitted to a soil testing laboratory for analysis. In submitting the samples, the soil chemist reminds that it is most important to give on the sheet which goes in with the sample a description of what happens to plants during the growing season on the problem spots.

It plant food or foods are deficient, the analysis of the soil sample will show the extent. Suggestions will be made for overcoming the problem, explains Welch. He also notes that different types of soil even within the same field may require different management practices, and these will be considered by the testing laboratory.

But, concludes the soil chemist, soil testing is a most valuable method for determining soil-related production problems, and their solution.

GENERAL CASIMIR PULASKI — REVOLUTIONARY WAR HERO On October 11, 1779, 190 years ago,

Count Casimir Pulaski, famous Polish general, gave his life for the American cause during the War for Independence. Exiled from Poland, where he had fought for the liberation of his country, Pulaski met Benjamin Franklin in Paris and decided to come to America. He arrived at Philadelphia in 1777, in his late twenties. Because of his gallantry at the Battle of

Brandywine he was placed in command of a cavalry unit and given the rank of brigadier general. He later organized the famed "Pulaski Legion" and in the autumn of 1779 commanded the French and American cavalry at the siege of Savannah, Ga. Pulaski was mortally wounded during the battle and died two days later aboard the warship Wasp, in Savannah harbor.

Later, Fort Pulaski at the mouth of the Savannah River was named in honor of this Polish hero. In 1939 President Roosevelt designated October lith as Pulaski Day. Since then more than a score of states have observed the anniversary. In New York and many, other cities with a large Polish American population it is customary to hold parades or other ceremonies on the first or second Sunday in October in honor of Gen. Pulaski,

When the United States entered the Second World War, she served for two years as assistant director of the Office of Civilian Defense. After her husband's death, she devOted herself to the cause of world Peace. For several years she was U. S. representative to the United Nations General Assembly and chairman of its Human Rights Commission.

Eleanor Roosevelt died on November 7, 1962 in New York City and was buried beside her husband at Hyde Park, New York. President Kennedy and former Presidents Eisenhower and Truman were present at her funeral to pay homage to a humanitarian and dedicated woman.

VESTNfIC

18 water safety violations leading the list with 1,368.

The most common violation of the Texas Water Safety Act was failure to have a Coast Guard approved life saving device on board for each person in the boat. Officers issued 679 citations for this offense.

Fishing violations were the second most numerous with 776 citations being issued, 666 of these for fishing without a license.

There were 146 hunting violations; 42 commercial fishing violations; and four sand, shell or gravel violations.

The disposition of cases in August is as follows: convicted, 2,336; dismissed, 123; served time in jail, 2; appealed to higher court, 11; fine suspended, 9; money retained by county, 39; oneyear probation, 7; juvenile, 22; void, 27.

The total revenue accrued to the state amounted to $39,042.12.

--SPJSTDROWNINGS CONTINUE TO

TAKE TOLL Drownings in Texas have reached 465, according to figures compiled by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

"With the present frequency of .drownings, we should soon be matching last year's total of 486," says R. G. Mauermann, deputy director of the department.

Swimming incidents continue to be the major cause' of drownings, according to Mauermann. He says swimming in unfamiliar waters and overexertion of the victim's ability led to several recent tragedies.

Small children who wander away from their parents also accounted for several deaths. Mauermann says Texans with private swimming pools or other bodies of water near their homes should be 'extra cautious.

Boating accidents have taken several lives this year. "The really tragic thing about boating accidents is that it would take so little effort to prevent a swamped or overturned boat from becoming a fatal situation," says Mauermann. "If the operator insisted that everyone in his boat wear a life jacket, most of these lives would be saved."

FOOD MARKET REPORT — Peaches, Italian prunes, cantaloupes, bananas, seedless grapes, oranges and pears are moderately priced at food markets this week, according to Mrs. Gwendolyne Clyatt, Extension consumer marketing specialist.

Vegetables supplies show some improvement over recent weeks. Corn,

okra, carrots, tomatoes, head lettuce, cabbage, potatoes and celery are among the more economically priced items.

New crop sweet potatoes are now coming to market, adds Mrs. Clyatt who is with Texas A&M University.

Take advantage of the features on pork this week. This will add variety to menus and provide good protein values.

Specials can be found on Boston butt roast, whole shank portion of hams, smoked picnics and loin — cut into chops.

Beef prices remain about the same as last week; however, there are scattered specials on chuck pot roasts, ground beef, liver and chuck steaks.

Steak lovers, says the specialist, find good values on rib and porterhouse.

WILLIAM PENN — FOUNDER OF PENNSYLVANIA On October 14, 1644 — 325 years ago — William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, was born in London. Penn inherited from his father, Admiral Sir William Penn, a money claim against the King of England. However, the Royal Treasury refused to honor the claim. In its place Penn demanded and received a land grant in America. He was given a royal charter for land which King Charles II named "Pennsilvania," meaning Penn's Woods.

Penn, a Quaker, used the land as a refuge for members of his faith, who were being persecuted at that time in England. Later, he came to America himself and played an important role in building up the colony. He laid out the city of Philadelphia. His belief in religious freedom and his good judgment in dealing with the Indians were unusual for his time. William Penn proved a liberal and intelligent administrator of the affairs of the colony, which he referred to as his "Holy Experiment," The last thirty years of his lite, spent chiefly in England, were fraught with many difficulties. All but ruined by a dishonest steward, he had to mortgage his vast land holdings.

William Penn died in England at the age of 74, after a long and disabling illness.

AMERICA'S 200th BIRTHDAY In recently appointing the members or the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, which Congress created to plan the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the American Revolution in 1976, President Nixon said in part:

8, 1969

"In the life of a person, no birthday is ever quite like the one before it.

The same is true of a nation. Each Fourth of July America is one year older, one year's growth larger, one year richer in knowledge and experience. . .. Only 7 years from now, the United States will celebrate its 200th birthday. Already, these two centuries have been a time of unparalleled human achievement. The next 7 years-beginning with man's first footstep on the moon — promise to be a time of momentous events. But as we look forward to that 200th anniversary, our aim is not to catalogue laurels to rest on, but to discover lessons to build on."

Ve stredu Z. kijna 1969 Kama,rad svobody Jiri Mate Na jare 1930 jsem se setkal s IVIahenem v Brne: "1,16 jsem to davno nevidel, kde se stale toula,S?" "Heim ted' na roudnickem okrese."

"Ten Hora je naivni elovek," rekl na to Mahen. "On si mysli, ze kdy2 je v pra2skena obecnirn zastupitelstvu, ae mu na jeho doporueeni pra2Sti strejci kejvnou, ti vaak dobre vedi, ae Hora je tam za komunsitickou stranu a 2e jim bude ka2c1Y, koho on doporuef, nebo navrhne, podezrelY.

"Tak co je s tebou? Od prazdnin, doufam, ueiS v Buie, co?"

"Asi sotva, protoze jsem dosud na svou Zadost nedostal ocIpovecl', bez protekce se sem nikdo nedostane." tohle mne zaeina zajimat, pojd' piljdent se zeptat pana inspektora, nerad to delann, ale ptijdenie k nemu do bYtu."

A chtela civere zavrit "Poekat!" zahrmel na ni Mahen, sahl do kapsy a podal ji vizitku: "Pohie date pawl inspektorovi a reknete mu, 2e tu za dvermi poekame, 01'. 7; on se vyspi." Za okarn2ik na to jsme sedeli u pana inspektora. Inspektor dokazoval IVIahenovi, Ze nine nemti2e ustanovit na Soklu v Brne driv ne2 od pololeti.

Ale nebylo na nem videti ani zarmutek, ani pretarky.

"Nic nevime, ani ja, ani 1111.174. Jen tolik vime, ze anenadani nabidl Bohai!, abychom si koupili dva dvory s elektra.rnou a mlekarnou a abychom se odstehovali do toma govskeho zameeku."

"OvSem, kdo jinY. Koupil si ji, docela po obchodnicku ji koupil. To se divite?"'

"Pa y& piece neco pani reclitelove, dosud jsi nic nepoveclel," upozornovala Cilka. Seclela mezi obeina a sledovala je s y Yma klidnkma °biota. Byla z ni nyni velini prijenina pani. a Bohunku napadlo,_ze Sochorova pritulnost k ni nebyla bezdavodna.

"To tak elovek se zapovicia. Jsern od veerejSka, jako v °hid a na nic ho nemyslim," omlouval se. "112. si darn pozor a ptejtc se, eeinu nebudete rozumeti. 2e byly v Toniac3ove mrzutosti, to snad vite?"

Zaeala mi psati o penize. A jak ostre!

Bohunka jak se sklopena vieka Clleina, zachvela a jak pevne stiskla rty. Byla by rada neeo rekla, ale bala se, ze Sochor ztrati nit hoyoru.

V'Sak potom si S ni ponovida a notes". ji.

"Zkratka, chteli pansky 2iti, a pro tole bylo na to Indio prinnu, hrr na Velenovice. Tatik at' troba zajde a do pastow7;ky se odstehuje, jen kdyZ panstvo bude panstvem. Nu, rekl jsem ji svuj dil. Rozzurila so, a za nekolik dni dostal jsem dopis od Braneekeho. lirozil mi; ze pojede ke hrabeti, aby fill dal vYpoved' ze dvorn, a uZ ani nevim, fake nesmysly tam psal.

"Delat jsi to nernel," prohodila karave. "Moe za to proklinali." ty by sis z toho neat delala?

Takove kletby jsou jako chvala, od dobrYch lick. Ale potom nastal v 'romaSoye 'zinatek. Branecky chytil vec za ne p) .avY konec, elite]. vSechno zlomit pies koteno a pustil se do sPekulaci. Vy v kmdetitcich zaeal jste s elektrarnou, s“arnoit a kdovi s eim je:Ste. Bide ze Bohneovi potekou z toho penize, a EraneckY, zavistivY a nezkuSenY, inyslil si, lie on mule take tak }oboe zbohatnouti. Mel cihelnu, na cihly odbytu nemel, proto so pustil do staveb. Zacal vkchno zarizovat nakladne a chlubil se, ze za dva roky pre vrati eele okoli. Jeste nebyly zaklady It elektrarne ani hotovy, a 0, vychloubat, ze prepusti elektriekoa silo jenorn tonal, kdo bode pekoe prosit a kdo dobre zaplati. A zrovna tak s mlekarnon. JenZe delal fiaty za ()bed, a ten nebyl hotov. Utity rostly, hanky Postytovaly fiver, ale 114'3 si ye meste povidali, ze se to hoop& a kdyby nekdo na neho udeiil, ze bode na hromade. A It tomu doma bylo peklo.1V1isto„ aby si ro zumeli a: aby moudi-e ziti, den jak . den se hadali, vyeitaii si, druh na ciruha vino svaloval. Vera nemela penez, povozi vzal, a ona se odstehovala z loZnice a ani a nim u spoleaneho stolu nejedla. Kdyby byl v to dobe priSel kdokoliy, jiate by se ho byla chytila, jen aby mule podra.:Zdila. Vtom k nim prijel Bohae. Znenadani a jak se podival, videl, kolik uhodilo.

Vypravoval mi potom va'e, abych si nemyslil, ze pouZil nejakeho uskoku. Phi tom poznal Vi."un, a je to zylaani, se mu zalibila."

Odmleel se a jaksi, staroStlive so zadival na podlahu.

"Ona byla velmi hezka a jiste je dosed tak hezka," rekla Bohunka las- • kave.

"Jo to rno,ne, ja tomu nerozomirn.

Vim jen, ze Cilka je hezka, a a ostatni se nestaram. Bez diouhYch nabidl Braneckemu, od neho koupi dva dvory. BraneckY se branil

Ve sttedu 8. tijna 1969 gadal, aby mu piljeil penize. On ,byl ochoten, ale dal podminku, aby propustil Veru, ktera by Sla k nemu. Jak BraneckY videl, te je Vera ochotna ho opustiti, zadal se ze vzdoru braniti a Vera se dovolavala, te je polovieni majitelkou a svou polovinu proda. prvni na,VSteve se nedohodli a pozvali Bohade na druhY den, a to se shodli.

BraneckY se tenou prodali Bohaeovi Tomagov pod podminkou, to Ballad opatti mu statek v Uhrach a vyplati Vete sto tisic. Vera svolila odstehovati se do Sudetic, ale kladla podminku."

"Tu uhodnu," pteruSila ho Bohunka, "te pUjdeme my odtamtud."

"Jak to vite?" podivil se.

"Domyslila jsem si to hned, jakmile tadal, abychom se odstehovali a mut aby z Toma gova spravoval statek. Nechtela se s natni stYkati, a nedivim se tomu. A nakonec bude to pro ni i pro nas lepe."

"Pro vas rozhocIne, protok, kdyby mela vas na ()etch, jiste by tak dlouho proti yarn pracovala, at by vas yypiehla. Takble bude delat zameckou pani, ale ocidana s Bohdeem nebude. Co vyeitala Cilce, tim Se sama stane. Ji se nedivim, ale Braneckemu se divim, te k tomu svolil. Hadam, to ho k tomu donutila laenost noveho statku, protote kladl podminku, aby mu Veru odstoupil. Nesvoli-li, odepiral pomoc a Branecky vedel, ee bude ztracen.

Takhle bude mitt novy velkostatek, ale jeho tent' bude miti nekdo jiny. To to dopra,covall!"

Zamraeil se, odplivl si a zlostne poposedl na tidli.

V Sudeticich bude Vera jiste t,'astnejS1," pronesla Bobunka, ehlachobve.

"Kdyby byla lepSi a srdeenejM," tekl prudce, "ale ona ji nebude. To ja„ take vim, te by s Bohdeem mohla bYti t'astna, ale to by musila miti srdce a bYti za, to Stesti vdeana. Jente ona, bude zase pamatovat nejprve sama sebe a na sve rozmary a bude potada yky, ktere ani Bohde by nevydrZaene jezdit no svete, rozhazovat, na bohaeku si hrat, a nevim, bude-li s tim Bohae spokojen."

"Mylite se, te ji v torn vyhovi. On sam dovedl si zachovat vlastni viii; znam ho dobte a vim, te sice Veru vg im zahrne, ve mnohem ji povoli, ale aby ji po svete vozil, aby k van ni sve obchody zanedaval nebo zpiisob svelm tivota menil, toho on neuaini. Prosim vas, nezminil se yam pan Bohae, prod nam TomaSov nabidl?"

"Jen zdaleka. Kdyt jsem se dovedel, te se v Torna cove povida, jako by se

VASTNiK BraneckY i Vera chystali k stehovani a to Bohad asi statek koupil, napadlo me, do vSechny dvory se k Sudetictm nehodi a te by Bohde motna rad nektery dvar odprodal. Bal jsem se, abych nic neprome§kal, a jel jsem rovneu k nemu. Domluvili jsme se o Vete i o celem jedn'ani a on, jak ut je chytrY, tekl mi, jakou innluvu s mantely uclelal. Kryl se, abych snad proti tomu jako otec nevystoupil. Kdyt jsem se u zminil o koupi dvora, zavrtel hlayou. Ne, to nem-He bYti, tomu by neptipuktil, i kdyby ut nebyl vazan. Nedelalo by to dobrotu, abych ja, se stal majitelem tteba jen east majetku, ze ktereho dcera odchazi. Co se vas tYka,, pozoroval jsem, to si jak pana keditele, tak i Vas velice vati. Bevan o vas s velikou srdeerrosti a skoro bych kekl se smutkem. Diu arci, takovYch moudrYch ten, jako vy, take. Jsem velmi rad, te jste si pomohli. Nic se nebojte! Za nejakY rok budete ze s yYth starosti venku a budete pany ye svem. Ty dva dvory jsou tuze pekne, je to krasnY majetek, a co z toho teprve pan keditel udela!"

"Ale bude to velika starost," povzdychla si Bohunka, " • aby zakryla sviij zmatek, jenit se ji zmocnil, kdyt povidal, jak Bohde o nich hovotil.

"Arci, starost to bude, ale radoststarost. Abych nezapomnel, v neeem jsem piece nadarmo do Sucletic nejel. Beni o elektrarnu a mlekarnu: Nap •ed Bohae take nechtel, abych se. toho zneastnil, ale potorn povolil. Vyhradil si pOute, air/ pro prvY Cas nchylo me jibe:no vyslovano, ale za thesic mohu pry nee() z toho pkevziti. Chtel jSern, at se pan teditel doma vtati, k nemu zajeti a potadati ho, aby mne vzal do spoleeenstva. Penize na to mam a zkuenosti, chvala Bohu, take. Udelame z toho podniky, to bude svet koukat, jak to pdjde. Vynese to penize a jeAe. k tonna bude eel kraj rniti vPhodu, o ktere se mu ani nezda. Celemu okresu, Vlastne ti em okrestim, dodame elekttinu a mlekarnu ueinime drutstevni. Paneeku, to bude vec! Za dva roky strhneme mtekateni v celem kraji na sebe. Myslim na to, kudy chodim.

A radost mam, te se budeme easteji vidat a vic se stykat net dtiv. kdo by to kekl, kdyt jsem pana teditele sem pHjimal, jak z neho bude jednou pan."

"JakY pan?" pokreila Bohunka rameny. "Zustaneme, dim jsme bYvali.

Je, se v povozich po zabavach vozit nedam, budu thuti pornahat, abychom se ze druhu dostali a neco detem zanechall."

27 "Cot, vy jste z jine gkoly, vas doma nehkokali, jako jsme my Will bYekali. To byla ehyba, a vim, to jsrne doma take chybovali, hlavne nebcdka 'term, ktere v deafi videla div sveta. Dej Bah nebotce tens svatY pokoj, ale ona nerozumela tivotu. Kdyby byla jinn, troche srdeenejSi a ptitulnejSi, kde bychom byli! I ja bych byl jina,ei. Ale it ni jsem se doma neohtal, brzy jsem ma lo vydelaval, brzy jsem byl neohrabanY a do sveta se nehodil. Zili jsme spolu jako dva cizi lid& a nic jsrne si jeden druheho nevatili. Domov mne value neteSil a Silhal jsem jinara. To, te jsem tuhle Cilku do nehody ptivedl, taky jen z domacich pomerf. vyplynulo.

Kdo neni doma spokojen; jinele se po vklieems shaft. Ostatne, nestalo se tadne ne gtesti, ve vSem zlem je Deco dobreho. Jsmn ted' opra,vdu St'asten, Cilka je moudra a ma vice srdce ke mne, aekoliv jsem star,k, net mela, nebotka. Mam radost z dati, a myslim, se o ne dobte postaram."

Rozpovidal se a jeho obliCej svedell, to to vkcko povida v jakesi povznctone nalacle a uptimnosti. Cilia se malieko usmivala a Bohunka, vzpominajic na prvni najemcovu tenu, pornyslila si, ite je v torn mnoho pravdy.

Dobi-e se na ni pamatovala, jaka, byla nadnaSliva a jak tehdy, kdyt ona do sve hanby upadla, umela ji tratrovat svYmi, zasttenYmi sice, ale dobic mitenYmi jizlivostmi. Ze by Sochor byl takovYrn nevinatkem, tomu ov gem nevetila ani po jeho obhajobe, jako by jen tak namatkou byl Cilku wed!. '2.Je ;-;t'astne, ji nja ted' rad ate s ni tomu vetjla.
