FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Photos of District II DO banquet will appear in the next issue.

• In this issue we have a rare coincidence. Two couples named Havran celebrated their 50th wedding anniversaries within a week of each other. We do not know whether they are related or not. Brother and Mrs. Frank Havran live in Cortez, Colorado, and Brother and Sister Anton Havran live in Sealy, Texas. See the stories in "Features." Congratulations to both. ♦ • An inspiring example is set every year by Brother Lad Zatopek, District II Organizer and wife Mary Ann, to the organizers of District II. It's a fascinating story about a go-getter group of devoted fraternalists, all of whom deserve credit. We are certain that many of those organizers draw inspiration from the successes which the annual District II banquets celebrate.

On Sunday, February 27th, at Lodge No. 80, Holland, Brother and Sister Lad Zatopek again played host to the organizers and guests honoring the men and women of their district for their cooperation rendered the SPJST during 1971. This was the third annual banquet under his supervision, and approximately 60 guests attended.

The program commenced with Brother Zatopek announcing the

Some dig right in . . . some serve with pride Some go along just for the ride Some volunteer to do their share While some lie back and just don't care On meeting days some always show While there are those who never go ...

He further stated that we have lost Sister Mollie Zavodny, also an organizer of Lodge No. 24, Cyclone. A moment of silent tribute was paid to these two departed sisters of District IL Brother Dan Kubiak was asked to say the blessing.

Then everyone lined up for an affluent meal which was served buffet style under the supervision of the host lodge.

It consisted of deliciods barbecued beef with all the trimmings.

Brother Zatopek acted as toastmaster for the evening and related greetings to everyone for an evening of good fellowship. A warm welcome was given b y host lodge president, Brother Joe Barabas, Jr., followed by District II Director Henry Vitek, who congratulated and thanked the district organizer and organizers, for their sales work and wished them much success.

Before the next introduction, the toastmaster remarked that we never had a representation at the District II banquet or other district affairs; however, today we are proud to reveal to you that we do have two representatives from an East Texas lodge. At this time Brother and Sister Chester Smoldas of Lodge No. 74, Lovelady, were recognized. Brother Zatopek also emphasized that we hope to have more lodges in East and deep West Texas.

DO Evelyn Mikeska and her husband, Otto Mikeska of District V were introduced. She complimented District II as a whole for their great work, expressed thanks for the invitation, and how she enjoys attending the insurance seminars. In her closing remarks, she wished everyone continued progress. DO Alvin Nesuda and his wife VirD Wilma Nesuda of District III were then recognized. Brother Nesuda expressed his appreciation for both of

Recognition was given to Editor Rudy Sefcik and wife Maxine. Brother Sefcik stated that since this was our 75th anniversary year, he would like to see our SPJST write even more insurance than last year and make this somewhat of a "banner" year. Be thanked Brother and Sister Zatopek for their invitation and said that they were glad to be present.

Next followed the introduction of Honorable Brother Dan Kubiak, a member of the Texas House of Representatives, also a member and organizer of the Lodge No. 174, ' ockdale.

He gave recognition and pVised DO Lad Zatopek, Supreme Lodge Vice President Xoe B. Hejny and the Vestnik, the official organ. Brother Kubiak did not hesitate to recognize the fact that he used to complain about errors in his newspapers, because he is also a publisher. He continued with his speech that while filling in a vacancy for an employee ,lor six weeks that he finally realized what all trans-. pired trying to compile a newspaper.

When his employee returned to work, Brother Kubiak stated that he never complained about his newspaper errors. In conclusion, everyone enjoyed his joke, too. He excused himself from the gathering because he had another commitment. It was a pleasure to see him again.

Your editor wishes to commend Brother Dan Kubiak, who has been intensely active in affairs of the SPJST Society on the local, district and state 'levels; and as well as in the state and national g overnment. Sometimes a good man is hard to find, however, Brother Kubiak is really appreciated by those who know him and his manyfaceted talents. Abundance in praise of Brother Kubiak is no vice. He deserves a citation for service to the cause of culture and liberty as well as the preservation of our Society. The SPJST is honored and proud to have such a member. We wish Brother Kubiak the best of luck in his future endeavors.

The Champion of District II of 1971, Brother Jerry Mikulas, Jr., and his wife, Sister Betty Jane, of Lodge 47, Seaton, were introduced. He was given a rousing round of applause. Brother Zatopek complimented and praised Brother Mikulas' work and wished him much success.

Wednesday March 8, 1972 The principal speaker, Supreme Lodge Vice President Joe B. Hejny of the organizational department was introduced and was given a standing ovation. Toastmaster Brother Zatopek continued with his remarks that among other things, all of us were present to honor a man who has honored himself by the integrity of his life, and the readiness of his friendship to bless his co-workers. He is equipped with ability, he has been, and always is actively interested in this type of work that makes for progress and betterment; he is an ideal fraternalist at heart and in practice, and a real leader of men.

Brother Hejny, in a reply near the end of the program expressed his deep and sincere appreciation for the evening function, and offered his gratitude to many people without whom, he said, the achievements by his co-workers would not have been possible.

Brother Hejny gave special recognition to Sister Mary Ann Zatopek, and his wife, Sister Stasie Hejny for their cooperation and understanding since their husbands' positions demand so much time and being away for a certain length of time. "Both of them have assisted us invaluably in our many endeavors," said Brother Hejny.

The highlights of the evening was the presentation of awards to the following: District II Champion, Brother Jerry Mikulas, Jr. (47) with 59 members and $233,000 of insurance; Brother Chester Shmoldas (74) in Application-a-Week Club for 14 consecutive weeks; Brother Willie Hejl (48) in Application-a-Month Club for 96 consecutive months. Other organizers who received a plaque for being in the Application-a-Month Club are: Brother Willie Dusek, (80) 70M'; Sister Amelia Pokorny, (29) 70 M; Brothers Jerry Mikulas, Jr., (47) 66M; Clifton Martinets, (80) 50M; Lad Shiller, (15) 49M; Frank Klinkovsky, (47) 39M; Sisters Norma Cavanaugh, (20) 37M; Alice Banning, (47) 18M; and Norma Andel, (24) 12M (who was not present). While Brother Hejny made the presentations, he reminded all of us present that Brother Jno. Trlica of Lodge No. 20, Granger was the oldest active organizer in the State of Texas.

Brother Hejny also complimented Brother Chester Shmoldas of Lodge No. 74, Lovelady, for signing seventy members in a short period of time; also Brother Shmoldas is among the

3

VtSTNAK newest organizers for 14 weeks, and has not missed since he became an organizer. Brother Hejny thanked the district organizer for the hospitality and organizers for all the contributions not only for 1971, but also for the past years. He explained that 1971 was a very good year in insurance :moles and in investments, with over nine million in life insurance and 3,180 members. District II gained 636 members and sold $2,311,750 of life insurance, and as of December 31, 1971, our Society has 45,047 certificates in force, $70,026,353 of insurance in force and $3,234,945 in surplus; resources of $121.31 for each $1 of liability. In conclusion, Brother Hejny brought greetings from the other Supreme Lodge officers.

DYD Frank Klinkovsky spoke briefly in reference to his district's duties, and reminded everyone of their district meeting and Miss SPJST contest, and offered his assistance.

We wish to add a few closing remarks to Brother Lad Zatopek and his loyal workers for being proud of their accomplishment. The annual banquets have developed into a very important facet of activity for SPJST in District II. Their record is impressive but no more so than the story of the brothers and sisters whose efforts and personal integrity and devotion to fraternalism have contributed so much to make this success possible.

Dear Members, The membership decided, at the February meeting, to have a covered dish dinner preceding our March 12th meeting honoring our new members who have joined during the last year or so.

All members are urged to bring a covered dish of their choice sufficient to feed their own family and one guest.

The lodge will furnish meat for the occasion. Dinner is to be served at 12:30 with a short business meeting, introduction of new members and guest speaker, Brother Sid Pokladnik, our District III director, to follow. It is hoped that this would become an annual affair in the future.

Fraternally yours, Alvin Nesuda Czech movie (Eng. titles) L. 88, Mar. 10, 8 p.m.

LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Brothers and Sisters, By reading, watching TV, listening to the radio or just listening to talk among your friends, I am sure that a lot of you have heard many different comments about the historic visit of our United States President Richard Nixon to China, the nation with the largest population in the world, and I am sure that there will be many more pro and con comments made by different people for a long time to come, especially, since the political season is fast approaching.

Nevertheless, the red dragon did not gobble up our President; on the contrary, according to TV and other reports, they have been toasting and feeding our President and Mrs. Nixon, for all they could pick up with those oriental chop sticks, and no wonder, for after all China has been, more or less, isolated from the rest of the western world for many years. Certainly they realize that many different countries, for instance, West Germany and Japan, who enjoyed our friendship and association since World War II, came a long way in their economy field; in fact, they both have become real industrial giants, therefore, by

Wednmlay, March 8, 1972 closer ties with America, China could also hope to have at least some of their prosperity brush off on her. But first and above all, let's hope that the President's visit to China will be meaningful, by decreasing tension and increasing goodwill and relations throughout the world.

Coming events at Lodge 88 — Saturday, March 11, the Knights of Dixie from the Schulenburg dance country will be here for your enjoyable dancing. On Sunday, March 12, we will have a big early evening dance from 5 to 9 p.m.; the Vrazels' good polka band from Buckholts will do the music for this one. Then on Saturday, March 18, we will have Harry Czarnek % and his Texas Dutchmen for a jolly good dance. They can "Put Your Little Foot," "Herr Schmidt" or "Cotton-eyed Joe," and if they don't play • some "Snowballs," then we will just run them off. Now, let's skip over to Sunday, April 10; that is when we will have a big day at Lodge 88 — another one. First, a delicious Miner will be served, with all the good trimmings, of course. In the afternoon, beginning at 1:30, a comical Czech play will follow entitled "Babicka z Moravy," translated "Grandmother from Moravia." All of this will be followed by a free dance, from 5 to 9 p.m., to the good polka band Of Lee Roy Matocha of Fayetteville.

News and comments More talent from our lodge, Little Mary Whitsitt, daughter of Dorothy and Charles Whitsitt and a student at Hambrich School, made a cactus mold in her art class and it was also displayed at the Northline Mall, and it drew second place. Mary won a sizable cash prize; on top of that she was able to go to the parade and stock show with her grandparents, Frank and Mary Tilich, who were proud of their granddaughter's accomplishment. The Frank Tilichs are also beaming over the fact, that Frank received an award from the Houston Light and Power Company for not having an accident for 24 years. (Congratulations, Brother Tilich.

The convention delegates from our lodge met on February 25th. First, the election of officers took place. The following officers were elected: Tillie Helmcamp, chairman; Al Hilsher, vice chairman; and Naomi Kostom, secretary. We also have several nice ladies on the telephone committee, just in

Wednesday March 8, 1972 case of need. The business discussed was more or less pertaining to the bylaws. More important was that most of the delegates were present and 'a lot of enthusiasm was evident_ Betty Kahanek of Hallottsville was a visitor in Houston and spent, a couple the Frank Tilich home. of days the Birthday Club sisters will hold their monthly meeting, luncheon, germ and give away prizes on Wednesda', March 8. On Friday, March 10 at 8 p.m., then , will be a free Czech movie sh(AVI1 H the lod ge. This is a story movie in Czech entitled, "Poklad byzantskeho kupce," translated "Treasure of the Byzantine Merchant." It has a comical atmosphere, and a written dialogue in English will accompany the picture, so that everyone can get some benefit from the film; the show will last about 1 1/2 hours. The monthly meeting of our lodge will be held on Monday, March 13 at '7:30 p.m., followed by refreshments and pivo.

Several of our sisters enjoyed a pleasant Saturday by attending the great movie, "Nicholas and Alexandra."

They were: Alice Bily, Tillie Helmcamp, Mary Kalousek, Ruby Cernosek, and Jeannette Walkowiak. This movie depicts life from the Czarist Era and presents quite an insight into some aspects of conditions and life in the far past.

In the sadder news, our good friend and social member, Brother Louis Roznovsky became ill at his work and is at this writing in the Spring Branch Memorial Hospital; however, he is quite improved and if all goes well, he should be back home soon.

The Choral Group singing practice is on Tuesday from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Czech classes are again resumed, under the direction of Karel Sicner, Harriette Allison, Mrs. Maria Kaderatek and Jerry Shenk. The sessions are on each Wednesday, from 7 to 9 p.m., and lessons are free.

Now, for one of our big activities at our lodge — the big social nights are on each Thursday night, where you can enjoy a good tasty supper, starting at 6 and the games start at 8 p.m.

Sometimes, we have some other little excitement that comes along. For instance, the social nights are so well attended, that some folks with brand new automobiles are leary of parking too closely to other automobiles, for fear of scratches, bumps, dents, etc.

One little lady tried to solve this prob-

VESTNf K lem by parking her shiny new Chrysler, a little farther from the other cars, so no one could park next to her automobile. But a determined retired fireman, who was trained to squeeze through any type of traffic, or park on a dime, came along and sized up this mini parking space. He unloaded his family so they would not be trapped inside and he then carefully parked his old road-worn Pontiac in the little space next to her shining beauty, of course, not realizing at the time the reason for such a small parking sp ace. But this little lady must have walked outside every few minutes to check on the situation. All of a sudden, the fireman had just come into the lobby and started chatting with his buddies and she also burst into the lobby and started letting it out about the so-and-so who parked next to her new car. After listening a moment and seeing which way she pointed, it all began to clear up in my mind. I am a retired fireman, I parked in that direction, and also in a very small parking space, and oh yes, a Pontiac! So, being one of the honorable SPJST members, I confessed to the parking crime and she being one of our charming SPJST members, too, accepted the horrible episode as just another happening at our lodge. For an example, I wish to state that if all SPJST members could resolve their differences or problems like we did, with a brotherly smile, then all should be all right.

What little Willie Mae probably did not realize at the moment or take into consideration was that if I hadn't carefully parked in that little space, 'some other driver who might not have been so careful could have done the same thing or worse. All in all, it was settled in a friendly way. All in fun!

IVIore next time!

President John Sebetka presenting Siste • Valcik with token of appreciation of her many years of service to Ledge Jaro No. 130.

LODGE NO. 130, DALLAS Dear Readers, Sunday, February 13, 1972, was "Bozena Valcik" day at the monthly meeting and dinner of Lodge Jaro No. 130. Sister Valcik was and is today an avid worker for the lodge. Her many sponsored dinners were always enjoyed by members and friends. She had many programs using the youngsters of the lodge and taught Czech school so that the language could be preserved through the years. These are but a few of her contributions, the most important one was "she was always there when needed or asked."

To correct an error in a previous is-

sue there are still four other charter members living, namely: Emma Pavelka, Zdenka Skotak, Agnes Henshe, Marie Toberny, but Sister Valcik is the only charter member of Lodge 130 at the present time.

President John Sebetka presented Sister Valcik a token of appreciation from the membership and then an excellent meal was served which was ably prepared by the sisters of the lodge.

The nicest part about the whole occasion was that it was possible to say "You Did a Good Job" and "We Thank You" Sister Bozena. Valcik.

LODGE NO. 97, PLACEDO Dear Members, Time has come to write again. Members, I want to call your attention to the fact, that the convention is right around the corner. I am sure that members who take the Vestnik have read the recommendations that the Supreme Lodge officials have recommended for change. All this will come before the delegates for a discussion before it comes to a vote, so it's urgent that you members come to our meeting, and state your opinion. This wou d be a great help to the delegate who goes to the convention, since there will be some recommendations, that will take quite a bit of discussion before they will come to a vote. I want to stress that the conventions are educational and interesting. Sometimes, I feel as if I were born 20 years too soon.

The first convention I attended was in 1968 in Waco, but not as a. delegate; as a guest and I learned a lot then. I remember when I was a much younger person, I would have been afraid to go to any convention or even hold an office in a local lodge. I believe in convincing our younger generation to take interest in officers in local lodges and let them or give them the opportunity to hain while young, what it is all about. Many years ago when they did elect a younger person, he held the office until he reached old age and passed away. I don't think that is fair to the younger generation. Now no one

V E EiTNfK

10 comes to the meetings; only the officers.

Of course, this does not apply to all lodges. We lost our president in 1971, and we elected a young lady for a president and I am happy to report that Sister Dorothy Elsik accepted the office; and we are proud rsf her because she did accept.

I am sorry to say that we didn't receive the premium refund checks to be distributed at our next meeting. In 'fact, I believe they will be in by the time we have our meeting. In order for this to be printed in our Vestnik, before our next meeting, I have to have it mailed in almost two weeks before our meeting, but you all try to attend our meeting regardless of when the checks arrive; they will arrive sooner or later.

We have one sister in the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home in Taylor, and she is Sister Frances Kirbicek; whenever anyone from our vicinity goes to Taylor, please stop by and see her, it makes her feel happy.

Dear Members: Our society has available for sale three separate pieces of real estate.

These are further described as follows: The first consists of commercial lots and a commercial building located approximately 1/3 mile south of Angleton, Texas, on the east side of High-

VESTNfK way 288. This property has approximately 250 feet of frontage on four-lane Highway 288 which is the primary traffic route between Houston and the Freeport area. The depth of this property ranges from 240 feet to 272 feet. A metal building, in good condition with approximately 3200 square feet of floor space is located on the lots. The property would be suitable for just 'about any kind of business. It is priced at $42,500.

The second property is our old home office, the old SPJST Building, located at the corner of Second and Central in Temple, Texas. It contains approximately 15,500 square feet of office space of which 89 per cent is rented.

The building should start showing a good profit now since most of the space vacated by our home office move has now been rented. The building is priced at $80,000.

The third property consists of two vacant lots adjoining our new home office property. These lots were acquired along with our home office site for control purposes and we would consider sale only if the purchaser planned to erect a new building of a type acceptable to us. This is probably among the most valuable and desirable p roperties in downtown Temple.

The price of the 84 foot by 110 foot lot on Main is sot at $6.00 per square foot and the price of the 7 15 foot by 110 foot lot on First Street is $5.00 per square foot.

The Supreme Lodge would consider financing a portion of the sale price on each of the properties. For further information, write to my attention, P.O. Box 100, Temple, Texas 76501.

Fraternally yours, Leonard D. Mikeska, Treasurer, Supreme Lodge, SPJST ---SPJST- —

Fraternally, (Mrs.) Dorothy Massey, State Youth Director FROM THE OFFICE OF THE STATE YOUTH DIRECTUK To All Districts: Please keep in mind that the poster contest will be held at the district meetings, as well as the Miss SPJST contest. Encourage the different lodges to have their posters ready for judging. The hosting lodges should have a place planned so the posters can be displayed properly for the judges. Each district should have impartial judges assigned in advance of the district meetings in your district.

Dear District Youth Director: There have been some questions asked concerning the Miss SPJST contest that need to be clarified. One is the length of time the Miss SPJST candidates will be required to spend at the convention. Wednesday, June 21 is the big day for the seven district candidates, and 9 a.m. on that day is the latest they should plan to be at the convention because there are other activities and competitions scheduled for them throughout the day Wednesday, June 21. The coronation and banquet events and it will probably be late that evening will climax the day's when it is over. The girl who is crowned Miss SPJST will be required to stay at least part of the day on Thursday so that she may make a short appearance

14 and presentation to the convention delegates on that day. Other details regarding Wednesday's activities will be made known shortly.

The photograph discussed in the biographical paragraph in the rules for the Miss SPJST may be a little misleading, What we want is one recent studio picture of the district win ner (not all of the candidates within each district), in black and white, dull finish, not glossy print, billfold size, to be submitted to the district youth director after the district meeting and after the district selects its winner.

The biographical sketches, however, should be sent to your DYD prior to the district meeting, because the information on these biographical sketches is used by the DYD at the time Of and during the district competition.

More than likely, the p i c t u r es of all the district candidates will be published in the convention issue of the Vestnik. It will be up to the DYDs to forward these pictures, plus biographical sketches, to the state youth director no later than May 20, 1972 for publication in the Vestnik.

If there are any further questions, please contact this office.

Fraternally, (Mrs.) Dorothy Massey, State Youth Director ---sedsr FROM THE DISTRICT YOUTH DIRECTORS DISTRICT VII "THINK YOUTH" SPRING MEETING "Think Youth" will be the theme of our spring meeting. This will be necessary for our program to be a success.

The youth will have decorated booths with items for sale that they have made. After thinking this over you will agree with me that without you this can be a complete flop. The youth can go only so far. They can plan, prepare, and present, but they must have you, to buy. The items will be moderately priced, so let's give them our full support. If there is not something you need, think about your gift lists through the year. There will surely be something that will be exactly right for one on your list. The proceeds from these booths go to the youth club you buy from. — Think youth.

Attention Youth: Booth judging at 11:30. I hope you are working hard on your items for your booths. Don't

VESTNfK forget, it must be something you have made. It can be baked, sewed, painted or whatever you can come up with.

When I say made by you, I don't mean that you have to weave the cloth you sew. We will accept, for an example, bought pillow cases that you have painted with Tri-dhem, or anything else as long as you have done some individual work on the item. Have your booth set up early. Selling will start after the judging, during the noon hour.

Poster Contest. How are the posters coming along? If you have not started your youth club poster get out your rules and get to work. We need a poster from each youth club. Remember the poster state contest will be held at the convention. Wouldn't it be nice to have your poster at the convention for everyone to view?

Miss SPJST: This is one of the big contests this year. This contest only takes place once every four years. See your rules for the awards for the winner as well as each contestant at the convention. We need each youth club as well as each lodge that does not have a youth club to enter this contest. I sure hope you are already working on this, if not let's get going. See you at the spring meeting in the Miss SPJST contest.

District Youth Meeting. This is new.

We will meet and elect officers and make plans. Be one of the original members of this District Youth Club, remember its success depends on you.

This club will be as good as you make it. Bring some constructive ideas and help us launch a now program.

I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the spring meeting on April 30, at Robstown Community Hall.

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW THE TROTH AND THE COUNTRY IS SAFE.

RESPONSIBILITY IN GOVERNMENT it has been said that the difference between a politician and a statesman is one hundred years. This becomes more evident as we begin to bear the rhetoric of a national election year. It takes real statesmanship to speak out for or against issues which might adversely affect a candidate's reception at the ,polls.

Two of our great Presidents, whose birthdays we celebrated in February, had the courage to speak their true convictions.

George Washington aptly expressed his feelings when he said, "Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pain to bring it to light."

ThiS comment is especially appropriate in this election year.

V t'STNfK LEKCE SEDMA — LESSON SEVEN COMMON EXPRESSIONS OF COURTESY dekuji — thank you prosim — you are 'welcome (means "please" but used Instead of English "you are welcome") rado se stalo — I 'was glad to do it neni zae — don't mention it "Dekuji" is singular. Sometiems it is as "dekuju". Dekuji is more proper and is more often used. Plural is "dekujeme". It is not necessary to add an equivalent of "you", but fit could be done and it is often done. Then, it is "dekuji ti" when we are close to the person addressed, or "dekuji Vam" if the relation to the person addressed is more formal.

The most common reply to the word "dekuji" is the Word "prosim". "Rada se stalo" and "neni zae" is used similar to "I was glad to do it", or "don't mention it'", in this country. dovolte (prosim) — 'with your permission, (please) pardon me, (please) odpust'te (prosim — excuse me, (please) prominte (prosim) — I am sorry — pardon me nic se nestalo — it was nothing The word "prosim" is the most common courtesy word. The original is, "I beg you" and only from the context can you tell 'whether the word 'prosim' means "I beg you" or whether it serves as "please". "Prosim", shown above in parenthesis, because its use is optional, making it more polite. •

The words, "odpust'te" and "prowhite" mean practically the same. The informal address would be "prornin and "odpust" to be used only ,with those persons with whom you are on a 'thou' basis. The "thou" and "you" basis sounds archaic' . in English, but there is an important difference in the relation between persons whom we address "thou" — in Czech "ty" — (the verb "tYkati Si"), and persons we address "you" — in Czech "vy" — and, therefore, the verb describing the relation is "vykati The English "I am sorry" in Czech means "Je mi lito". The Czech phrase is used in the same sense as the original meaning of "I am sorry," but generally, we can say that "Je mi lito" is used much more sparingly than "I am sorry". The latter can often be translated "odpust'te" or "promifite".

Jak se mate (maS)? — How are you?

Jak se yam (ti) (flail)?

21 dekuji, dobic — fine, thank you nestoji to za nit — it's not worth anything Spatne mizerne — bad — miserable "Jak se mate" or "jak se maS" or "jak se yam (ti) (flail)" is not quite as common a greeting as in English. In Czech, you ask it when you want to know how your friend is doing and not instead of "good morning". In other words, in answer to "jak se 'na g" in Czech, you may hear a little longer story than the stereotype "fine, thank you". The European people do not share the American optimistic outlook and more often than not, you may hear an answer more in the for of a complaint. dobre chutnani — enjoy your meal It is very common to wish your guests "dobre chutnani" as they are sitting down around a table and getting ready to eat. The same wish is sometimes used among the members of the family as they start 'with their meal. The literal translation is "good appetite".

POIVISTA CIKANOVA

Pod praporem kalicha Roman ze stoleti JOSEF SVATEK Pokradovani "Phsambohu! 're% on by mne byl 0pustil?" zvolal v g ilenem vzteku svem nad touto novou pohromou. `13a, velebny pan vzal prvni nohy na ramena!" ozvalo se z fist kolem prchajiciho jednolm mute, ktery k eeledi pane Grambove pattil a ph pochodu byl te% v zadni lade.

"Des v te, bidnikur vzklikl pan Gramb a machl meeem svym po prostotekem sluhovi ktery se v gak obratne Lane teto uhnul a za blYzkYm balvanem zmizel, aby jako gtvany jelen letel z tivozu.

Pan Gramb se poznovu chtel staveti proti dalg imu proudu prchajiciho lidu sveho, poznav v gak marnost iisili sveho, vratil se k pilvodnimu zarneru svemu, ze zbrojence pied souteskou opet kolem sebe shroma%di, a proto spechal takte% nvozem zpet, aby plan tento co nejrychleji provedl.

Netu gil ovgeni, (2.e takto prime neptateltim v ruce specha a na kY%enem miste doeka se ji% dokonce zahuby sve, vypravy.

XII. Tyglim zrakem vyhli%el obr, palcat v ruce kteeovite svirajici, do fivozu, odkud mel se podle udani cikamova nenavideny mnich na itteku svem vytititi.

Stkelbou bratti jeho uprostted soutesky vedenou, ktera. mu paatek Pinello vit%stvi jejich vestila, v bojechtivosti sve jen je g te vice tiovzbuzovan jsa, nemohl se doekati okaniliku, v kterem by na bratrovi pane, kosteleckeho krutou EArnrt ma,n2elky sve mohi do syta pornstiti.

Oci jeho byly krvi pedlity, opalena tvat rdela se vYrazem nejvy ggi pomstvchtivosti — kdo tomuto desnemu rou%i jako nen •itel v nstrety pcisel, nemohl se niladneho smilovani naditi.

VESTNIK A °bet' tato mu ji% take s nejvetgi rychlosti vstkic plichazela.

Benediktinsky mulch, jen byl za poslednich dvou let protreformaci na Kostelecku a Rychnovsku zapodal a tak nasilne ji provadel, ze dne gniho due podle clomneni sveho ji(2 ke koneenemu vite%stvi nad kaciti vytahl, tak2e v krajine pohoti orlickeho .jid Zadny neptitel viry hlavy sve pozdvihnouti neinel, ubilral nyni prvni z boji gte, an12 by jegte byl jedinelio z tech kle. tych kacitti okem svym. spatiil, podoben jsa, gtvanemu obyvateli lesa, jen% byl na kohsteni vytahl, ale zaleknuv se piesily protivnikftv, rychle do zajeeich vzal, aby jen vlastnim %ivotem z neptedviclane zalohy vyvazl.

Avgak toho mu nernelo bYti poptano.

Obr byl jei u% v nvoze shledl a nyni jako rozliceny dravec chystal se vrhnouti se proti nemu.

Netu ge ni v nejmen gini strojenou noyou zalohu na konci tivozu, fitil se Mnich kupicdu, neobliZeje se ni vpravo ni vlevo, nebot' dal gi st •elba, z nevelke ji% vzdalenosti za nim zaznivajici, byla mu clitkazem, ze Tide jeho jsou od kacittt ji% nejen pleme2eni, ale te% pronasledovani.

Be%elo tedy v nejvy ggi mite ka%deniu z prchajicicli o Zivot o smrt, ktereao poslednl bylo Ize ujiti jen nejrychlejgim iitekem z nebezpe gne soutesky. ye zdeg eni svem nevidel pater Kamill Gramb, kterak jej na leve strani cikan okem sleduje, aby plichod jeho ukrytym soudruhfun svym v fivozu oznamil, tim merle si v strachu svem smrtelnem vgirni hlavy, jell nad svrchni stranou ohromneho balvanu, podle ho% se na Uteku swim nevyhnutelne brati mush, nahle se vynotila a se Kim-. nienym napetim sledovala ka%dy jeho krok.

Byla to hlava na.:.";eho obra, jen% se byl za balvanem onim ukryl, nebot' sez• nai ihned, ze se mnich, po levem bfehu Bele utikajici, nodle neho brati musi, a na tornto stisnenem miste nejvyhodneji bode nie(2,no podniknouti man Utok. Zde se ukryl tedy za Utr%kent skalnim, jen% se mel statt svedkern krvaVeho konce mnichova.

Kdy% byl mnich jenem je gte asi deset kroku ed mista, tohoto vzdalen, seskoeil obr s balvanu opet na bteh, aby se mu vrhl ptimo v listrety.

Jill v ptig tim okam%iku stall oba sobe vsttic.

Mnich, tak neoeekasane v fiteku svem zdr2enSt, zarazil se, jako illy blesk

23 by! pied nim nebot' nebyl se toho v Uzkostnam strachu svem ani vzdalene nadal. ze mu zaloha nejaka Utek dalSi zamezi.

A tu se objevil pied nim maz s palcatem v ruce, z jeho% divokeho a pomstychtiveho vzezteni mohi najisto souditi, ze se mu od neho milosti ladne nedostane.

Zachvel se hrtlzou na celem tele, jsa si okainZite vedom nebezpeei, v jako zde prima ubihal.

AvSak ji2 v nejbliZSim okamZiku nabyl °pet ztracene mysli.

Se zdegenym zrakem rozhledl se kolem sebe, jako by se po nejake siomeci nevidel vgak nikoho mural, kteti dosud bud' za hou g tim, bud' za balvany skalnimi ukryti byli, a tak se domnival, le stoji tu pouze proti jedinemu neptiteli.

Odhodlal se tedy k tomu, pou%iti phlaitosti teto a s hrozicim velikanem tak dlouho o hvot svuj smlouvati, all by ostatni prchajici na toto misto phkvapili, naeci% nebylo ji% tteba, jedinemu kaci •i tomuto se vyhYbati.

Mime to se pamatoval na mule tohoto, jak byl ye tvrzi kostelecke za ttveznenou Zenu svou prosil, a ac P•ave tato okolnost jej Urn vet gi bazni pled pomstou jeho mohla napinovati, piece byl presvedeen, ze se podan3i. pana kosteleckeho neodvali ruku svoji na bratra, jeho Jen okamZik trvalo tedy toto jeho rozmysleni a hired na to zvolal obrovi vstric: "Jai podclanY bratra meho a vymohu ti u neho kterykoliv ze statkil selskYch, ptispejeg-11 mi k zachrane!"

Obr se divoce %achechtal nad tymto po%acla ykem mnichovYrn. "Do pekla ti pornohu, kam ji% davno path g , vrahu rile nebohe beny!" zatval a ji% dvema skoky nad nim eta! a palcat sviij ke smrtici rane pozdvihl.

"Ja tvou (%,enu nezavra%dil," volal mnich ye smrtelne Azkosti; "ona na sk •pci skonala! Ja jsem smrti jeji nevinen! Uganuj nine a stand se panem statku! Smilovani mej se mnou bezbrannYm!" "Mel ty jsi smilevani se %enou mou, bidnikr?" zahtmel nad nim obr, "Zhvii, tak jak jsem ti byl jiz davno ptisahal!"

Ph tom se rozpfahl palcatem nod hlavou mnicha, jen2 na kolena sklesl a rukou svYch prosebne k nemu pozdvihoval.

Vgak obr misto dal gi odpovedi ude-

TOlo mnichovo se skacelo k zemi -pomsta obrova byla vykohana.

Pomstil Zenu svou i sama, sebe, a IAteznY tev jeho se rozirlehl Po vukoli, kdya, Slapl ria zkrvavene telo mnichovo, z nehoZ posledni vzdech z-aroven. se Zivotem unikl.

"Talc zhynou vSickni neptatele nazajasal a machnul palcatem svym poznovu koletn sebe, vitezne se rozhliZeje po soudruzich, kteti mu ryene pochvalu svoji vzdavali.

"Ja, praci svou vykonal," volal dale a kynuv palcatem do soutesky, vaktikl na 13elinu: "ty stejne s bratrem bidnika tohoto naloa,, Begin°, jena tamto stejne zbabele pied ranami bratti naSich zrovna tobe do rukou prcha! Ja„ se vrhnu vstfic proti te ostatni sbeti •ekou uplachnouti jeho, ktera dole chce!"

A skuteene bylo v soutesce videti pana kosteleckeho na stejnem fiteku, jako pred chvili bratra jeho, jena 0vSem jeSte nernel ani zdani o torn, jakY krutY osud jej byl nekolik krokti dale zastihl.

Uglabinou teky Bele pak se hnalo nekolik muZU z eeledi pane Grambovy, kteti zpozorovali jia zbrojence v zaloze eekajici a po viteznem skutku obrovu vystoupivS1 a proto, vidouce se na obou tesnYch btezich teky v nebezpeei, ptimo do proudu se vrhli, aby tudy tim spiSe nastraze nepta.tel uniknouti mohli.

Proti ternto uprchliktn, z nichZ nektere byl obr jako Uhlavni tryznitele lidu poddaneho poznal, obratil se tedy obr. kdeZto pan Gramb dale pa levern btehu Bele spechal, pohrdaje nebezpeeim, kteremu se lide jeho vyhnouti chteli.

PadnYm meeem svym chtel pottiti, vAe, co by se mu v cestu stavelo, jsa ptesvedeen, ae kacitska laje selska jak protivniky sve nazSrval, nikdy ranam jeho neodola, nYbrZ na vSe strany se rozprchne, jakmile do ni meg em machati poene, jena se byl za vojenskeho stavu jeho jia v tolika krvav3"rch sraZkach osvedeil.

Ptedpokladani toto jej take neraelo zklamati, ant' se videl pojednou proti nephteli, jakYm byl mistr Belina.

ObapolnY tento pomer anal take, jak se zdalo, cikan Valesko, jena ze strane a ukryt houStim bystrym zrakem svym pozoroval vSe, co se dole v soutesce deje, a jak by ptateliim .svym v eas potteby raohl ku pomoci ptispeti.

Stahl UsineSne rty, kdyz spattil, kterak se mistr Henna ma, panu Grambovi vsttic postaviti a jemu snad tYZ osud pripraviti jaky zachvatil mnicha Karnila pied nekolika okamZiky z rukou obrovYch. "Mina je pouze hrdinou jazyka," mrueel sam k sobe, kdy2 byl slava vitezneho obra k podestnemu mistru rychnovskemu zaslechl; "on dovede jen na syny kmene mob° lati, nikoli vSak se zbrani v rukou proti takovYm muZilm se staveti, jakYm je tamto kostelecky . pan.

Aekoli Valesko nemel veru Zadne pheiny, aby zaptisahlemu- neptiteli kmena sveho, jakYin mistr Belina byl, nejakou pomoci ptispival, piece si uminil na bliaici nebezpeei jej upozorniti, jako by byl jia nyni chtel spiniti slova sva nedaNno pronesena, ae Mina snad brzo bode pomoci cikanovy pottebovati.

Proto plilil se opatrne houStim po strdni dole, aby se dostal k balvanu, za nimZ mistr Belina ukryt stal.

Bylo to misto ponekud stranou od onoho leaici, kde byl mnich krutou smrt svoji nalezl, avSak dalo se odtud ono jeviSte krvave dobie pfehlednouti.

Mistr Belina byl tedy oeitym svedkem toho, jak mnich pod ranou palcatu zhynul a pH desnem pohle7 du tomto zbledl, jako by se jej sameho byla to rana dotkla.

Ticasi se jako osyka, na celern tele a byl by se v okaanZiku tomto videl nejradeji sto mil od osudneho tohoto mists.

A nyni spattil se jegte vsttic protivnikovi, jakYrn byl divoky pan kosteleckY. Tu j1g, dokona zmizel i posledni zbytek stateenosti a mysli jeho a Henna poeal se ohligeti po fikrytu, kde by se mohl skrYti pied zraky velmole tohoto, ani by vice na to pomYSlel, ze mu

V sti'edu 8. bl'ezna 1972 jednanim svym ze soutesky bez pohromy da uprchnouti.

Valesko videl tuto nerozhodnost jeho a poznovu nsme gne stahl rty nad nestateenosti, ba zbabelosti muae, jena pouze proti cikanilm hrdinstvi svoje osvedeovati dovedi.

V nejbliZAim okaanZiku vSak jia stanul pan Hugo Gramb pled mrtvolou bratra sveho, jena zde bezduch v krvi ledel a'kroky jeho stavil.

Jako raneny tur zatval Slechtic pH desnem pohledu tornto a jiZ se take divnym zrakem rozhliZel po vrahovi, jena pripravil takto krvavy konec bratru a pomazanemu Pane.

"Pomstim te, bratte!" zasipel ye vzteku svem. "Krev tvoje nevinn nesmi dlouho k nebi o pomstu volati, r V tom padl zrak jeho na muZe, jena nejbliZe od mrtvoly za balvanem se ukrYti hodlal.

Byl to mistr Belina, ktery zde hledany ukryt nalezl.

Toho pan Gramb za vraha bratra sveho povaZoval, a na nem tedy mela vSecka, pomstychtivost jeho zchlazena bYti. "Ha bidniku! Me nomste nesmi§ ujiti!" vaktikl jako rozlicenY lev a jia se take hnal obrovskYmi kroky stranou k balvanu.

S druhe strany chvatal houStinou cikan jako had, aby zapomenuv na vSe, dim se byl Belina na nem samem a kmenu jeho zlomyslnosti svou provinil, ohrolenemu muZi, tomuto ku pomoci ptispel.

Dvema skoky byl u balvanu a zvoial na udekneho Belinu: "Pal na katana bratti s yYch, nechceS-li sam synem smrti bYti!" Belina vide se ye spoleenosti druhello muZe, byt' to i nenavideny cikan byl, vzpamatoval se zase ponekud ze zdeSeni sveho a pochopil, ge jest mu jen zachovati se die rady cikanovy, chce-li sam ze sraZky teto vyvaznouti Zivotem.

Pozdvihl tedy takou ruenici svoji a namitil na ptibihajiciho pa pa Gramba, ktery jia jen nekolik roki1 od rte.ho vzdalen byl a s vysoko pozdviZenYm padnYm meeem svym se nan "Met dobte, jako svym jazykem doTote mititi dovedeSP zaznelo zase z Fist cikanovYch. "jinak se rozlue se Zivotem!"

AvSak byl by to mush bYti jiny stlelee, neZ jakYm byl chvastavy mistr Belina, aby byl mohl vyzvani tomuto v pine mite vyhoveti,

Ve stfedu 8. bicezna 1972 Rana z ruenice vy gla, led kule minula se cue sveho.

Ruka Belinova se v osudnem tomto okamdiku ttasla a pan kostelecky vyvaz1 neporu gen z hroziciho mu nebezpeel smrti.

"Dvojnasobnou smrti zhyne g nyni, pse kacitskY!" zatval pan Gramb po rane Belinove, kdy spat!!!, Ide nyni protivnik jeho stoji proti nemu bezbrannY. Dvema skoky ocitl se u Beliny za balvanem a jid v ptiStim okamtiku by mu byl medem hlavu rozpoltil, Tak jiste byla vedena rana jeho, jid neet'astneho sttelce a domneleho vraha bratra sveho v krvi u nohou syYch valeti se videl.

Lea vtom zafieel povettim dlouhY ptedmet jakYsi, jen mee jeho v nejozhodnejAim okamdiku stranou odrazil, ad se btitka ocel do hrany balvanu tak mocne zaryla, 'de jiskry z tvrdeho kamene na yee strany sreely.

Byl to Valesko, jen silny oklestek v xuce duel, jej byl na tests sve k balvanu se dente zdvihl, a jim mad pana Gramba v te chvili srazil, kdyd jid na hlavu Belinovu dopadnouti mei.

Zaroveri zaznelo z fist ValeskovYch volani; "Na pomoc! Zde nej yzacnejei zvelulovite!"

Novy vzteklY ke y vydral se z fist pane GrambovYch, kdy pomstu svoji v poslednim okamdiku zmatenu videl.

Bylt' Mina za nenada,leho ptispeni cikanova rychiosti blesku za balvanem zrnizel, tak byl rozlicenY elechtic o kokist svou ptipraven.

Zaroveri pak spattil hnati se vzhfiru k balvanu nekolik muCfi, kteti byli dole u teky zatim krvavou pro,ci svoji na prchajicich lidech jeho vykonali.

Avgak s mrAtnosti lasice vy gvihl se Valesko na balvan a rana Grambova byla jen do prazdneho vzduchu vedena.

Na balvanu stoje, kam rozzul'enY pro tivnik nikdy ho nasledovati nemohl, zachechtal se cikan vYsme gne a hodil mimo to oklestkem sv3"rm po Grambovi, take by jej byl ptimo do hiavy u-

VE'STNiK kdyby nebyl glechtic stranou "Cod se peklo samo proti mne spiklo!" zatval Gramb, nechte se jia, ani v rozliceni svem, ktere v nem bylo po dvojnasobnein nezdaru Utoku jeho nejvygeiho stupne dosahlo.

Aveak nemohl jid na to pomYeleti, aby s dalgim vykonanim pomsty sve na cikanovi prodleval.

Na pomoc ptivolani zbrojenci blidili se k mistu, kde byl v pomstychtivcsti sve tak velice zklaman, a nezbYvalo mu jid jine, ned aby jen na zachraneni eve pomYelel.

Zmizenim mistra Benny a uskoeenim cikana na vysokY balvan byla mu testa do houg tiny lean! na strane teto uvolnena, nebot' hloubeji v lese neztel tit dadnYch protivniku anit' veickni elenove pkedni strane seskakali na bkeh Bele, kde kynula hojna den zbranim jejich.

JedinYm skokem ocitl se v houett pod strani a hoed nato v lese, kde se mohlu za zachranena povadovati.

Na ponig teni zavraddeneho bratra sveho a na svolani prchajiciho lidu sveho pied souteskou, jak na riteku svem piwodne mel v fimysiu, nesmel jid dale mysliti, nYbrd dbati jen o zachovani vlastniho divota.

Vidal na leve strane, cestu volnou, kdedto zeptedu a se strany prave mu hrozilo nebezpeei, de vbehne ptimo dorukou svYm nepkatelrim, jejich ptesile by zanedlouho podlehnouti musil.

"Pomstim smrt bratra sveho na laji te d'abelske co nejcItive!" pra y!! sam k sobs a sklonil mee, jeho dalk pouditi lid' mu tadneho vitedstvi neslibovalo.

JedinYm skokem pak se ocitl s cesty pobtedni v hou gti lesnim a v druhem okaindiku byl v rivoze, kterY zde bok strane rozrYval a starymi kmeny lesnimi dostateene kryt byl, take neptatelrim jeho po nem ihned stopa zmizela.

Byl zachranen, nebot' v lose bylo pronasledovani jeho velice ztideno.

Zaslechl za sebou jests hlas. zneji.el mistru Belinovi: "Bes v te, mistte Belino, de divas hlave katanfi na gich uprchnouti! Mel jsi psovi, jen se panem na Kostelci nazyva, posvititi na cestu do pekla, jako ja byl bratrovi jeho ueinil, take po me rane ihned zcepenel!"

Posledni slova tato pohnula pana Gramba, ad musila bYti v gecka P e -zornstjehyinkfteuobracena, de se srazil seznati mude, jen

25 se takto sam za vraha bratra jeho ozna,Coval.

Musil jej seznati, aby ptedeveim na nem mohl pomstu svoji vykonati.

Tak si nyni v duchu ptisahal, a protod obratil zraky sve nazpet, zdrad by mluveiho onoho mohl spattiti a osobrtost jeho seznati.

Byl to nag obr, ktery takto mistru Belinovi la% de si tak vzacnou kokist ujiti nechal.

V oku pane Grambove zajisktilo se nahle divokou pomstychtivosti, nebot' poznal mude tohoto, vraha bratra a yeho.

"Znam te, zlosyne," zasktipel zuby, spattiv obrovskeho mud . s palcatem; "znam te od doby, kdy jsi na Kostelci Zebronil za divot deny sve, kterd, na sktipci kacitskeho ducha sveho vypustila! veak ty na temde sktipci stonasobnou smxti zhynouti musig, abych krev bratra sveho pomstil, ktera tamto o pomstu k nebesum vola!"

Zat'atou pesti pohrozil dold mudovi a latel pak dale do hlubokeho lesa, aby se z nebezpeeneho okolj boje dostal.

Veak nebylo mu jests poptano, aby se jid bez dalei ptekadky na bezpeenem mists ocitl.

Kdyd se jid dostal pod ochranu husteho lesniho hou gti no, vrch strane, kde vysokYm lesem mnohem speeneji ubihati mob!, objevil se mu tu novy di vlastne jid clkivej gi neptitei jeho v tests, jako by se nahle byl ze zeme proti nemu vynotil.

Byl to shady syn kmen y cikanskeho, onen mladik, jend mu byl stranou odrazil "nee, kterY se v druhem okamdiku v lebce mistra Beliny zkoupati mel.

ye Stkedu 8. bkezna 1972 is described by Rep. Carl Parker of Port Arthur as "an outstanding young man who is both conscientious and capable, a man with a great dedication to his people and to his country.

He has a great future in politics." During the 62nd Legislature, Rep. Kubiak was one of five members of the Texas House of Representatives, joined by Reps. Head, Blythe, Moore and Denton, who succeeded in knocking 107 controversial bills from the calendar in an attempt to force the leadership to bring about a Democratic House. Rep. Kubiak introduced and helped pass the uniform speed law, the public school principals' protection bill, the abandoned motor vehicle bill, the noncancellation provision of automobile insurance, and the uniform election of trustees of school districts. He is a strong believer in local control of all government functions.

Secretary of State William P. Rogers invited Representative Kubiak in 1970 and 1971 to Washington, D. C., where he participated in the State Department's state, federal and foreign relation conferences.

Representative Kubiak has been instrumental in getting Governor Smith to open the coming special session to revise the law on trailer brakes. In the 62nd Legislature, he was one of the key legislators fighting the redistricting bills, He also helped kill the tax on food, medicine, farm machinery, fertilizer and feed in the 1969 session. Kubiak introduced seven bills in the 61st Legislature, all of which were passed.

During his first two terms in the Texas Legislature, Representative Kubiak did not miss a single vote of over 14,000 cast in the regular and called sessions. He is one of a handful of members who has not been absent a single day since he became a legislator. "This is a rarity for any member," state Rep. Vernon Beckam of Denison who also has a perfect attendance record. Kubiak served on the following House committees during both terms: Public Education, Agriculture, Parks and Wildlife, School Districts and Penitentiaries.

Kubiak advocates making the following changes in the Texas House during the next session: 1) Limit election of speaker to one term, 2) Outlaw use of pledge card system, 3) Install limited seniority system

for committee appointments, 4) Have committees elect their own chairmen and vice chairmen, 5) Limit conference committees to adjusting differences between the House and Senate on Appropriations bills, 6) Reduce the number of committees from 45 to 20, and 7) Limit power of speaker to presiding officer.

Representative Kubiak was born in 1938, the son of a blacksmith, on a Falls County farm in. Reagan, approximately nine miles from Marlin. He is the oldest of six children of John T. Kubiak and Connie Snider Kubiak and moved to Rockdale in 1954. Kubiak married the former Miss Zana Hassler of Somerville in 1967 and has a four month old son, Kelly Dan. He is a newspaper publisher and developer.

Kubiak attended the public schools of Reagan and Marlin, graduating from Marlin High School in 1957. He earned an, AA degree at Blinn College, a. BBA degree with a major in government and education at the University of Texas, a Masters degree at Midwestern University and has done postgraduate work at Georgetown University in Washington, D. C., and at the University of Texas.

Honors and awards Kubiak has received while serving in the legislature and teaching are: John T. Burton Scholarship Award for Young Educators by Midwestern University, 1963; Scholarship for Advanced Studies in Government by Georgetown University, Washington, D. C., 1965-66; Teachers of the Year, Cypress-Fairbanks High School; Teacher of the Year, 1967 Texas State Teachers ASSn. District award; 1967 TSTA award for "Excel-

lence in Portraying Texas and its Past" in TEN TALL TEXANS; Distinguished Individual Supporter of TeXas 4-H Club Youth, 1970, Texas 4-H. Youth Development Foundation; 1970 Distinguished Service Award, Vocational Agriculture Teachers Assn. of Texas; 1971 Special Award for Outstanding Service to Vocational Homemaking Education, Vocational HOmemaking Teachers Assn. of Texas. Kubiak has been listed in Who's Who in American Politics and Personalities of the South since 1969.

Representative Kubiak believes strongly in cutting non-essential and wasteful pork-barrel spending ih order to bring spending in line with revenue received. He opposed strongly a personal income tax. He will continue to fight the high automobile insurance rates and will try to get a system of insurance in Texas- that will be advantageous to the safe-driving public.

In commenting on the new District 36, Representative Kubiak * stated, "I am pleased to have two of my present counties, Milam and Falls, and welcome the addition of Williamson County. This is a contiguous district with similar economic interests. It will be a privilege serving these people to bring about more local control, economy government and a stop to the high automobile insurance rates."

"Representative Kubiak is one of the greatest fighters for people's rights who has come along in some time," stated Rep. Ed Harris of Galveston. "He has the ability and knowledge to challenge any bad legislation, and he is not afraid 'to stand up for his constituents.

This he has proved during the past two sessions of the legislature."
