MAY 16, 1973

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Sunday, May 20 is the date of the dedication of Lodge No. 176, Houston Northwest.

• • Sunday, May 20 is also the date of the District III Spring meeting at Linden Hall Lodge No. 66, Elm Mott. Attend your district meeting!

• • Your editor is not reprinting the District III minutes of their fall meeting due to their very recent publication in the Vestnik. They were printed in the April 4, 1973 issue beginning on page 9. Please refer to them in that issue.

We feel sure that our District III officers and members will understand.

Someone asked a • famous painter which of all of his works did he consider his best, and he replied, "The next one." He had found the real spirit of an artist. The blackness of yesterday overwhelms many of us. We can't get it out of our minds. It was a terrible thing that happened; perhaps a great mar on our lives.

Linger and listen . . . be as still as the night . . . listen to the lovely sounds around you . . the soft beat of the raindrops' feet . . . the whirl of wildlife winging overhead . . . rippling music of a river as it runs along ... a laughing child at play . . . chirping baby chicks with 'fuzzy coats . . . fragments of a song .. . bees that go hum-

THINK PLEASANT-..

A good thought to hold, as We go on our way Is to keep unpleasantness down.

Should it come to our mind, think pleasant instead; And you will never have cause for a frown.

Life is made up of thoughts; control what they are.

Unpleasant ones ruin our day.

Good thoughts are constructive, crowding all others out.

Guard our words and mark well what we say.

It could be on the phone or a friend we may meet, When we might be asked for a speech.

Keep in mind pleasant thoughts; it's all up to us — What a wonderful lesson to teach.

Let our contribution to life be pleasant and calm.

Many blessings we're privileged to give.

From the deep inner peace in the hearts of us all Our reward is we've learned how to live.

—Nellie Thaler ming by . . . meadowlarks' sweet melody . .. footsteps winding through the snow . . . the secret language of the

dewdrops in the, dawn . . . close your eyes and listen . . . be refreshed . never cease to marvel at the beau ty of lovely songs . . . little winds blowing gaily . rose bush dripping rain and songs of birds on soaring wings.

• On a clear night the heavens glow, with hundreds and hundreds of twinkling stars sprinkled here and there.

They glow far and near making a rhinestone tiara for earth.

Mother Earth dons a special magic at night. Sheer enchantment pervades your being as you watch street lamps gleam. Inside houses a subtle loveliness shines; your editor sees artificial moonbeams as lamp after lamp is lighted. Outdoor lamps cast a beautiful sheen as their diffused light spills ..)ver the surface of the earth. The simple magic in all this is a delicate cloak of beauty. All that is revealed in the harsh light of day becomes enhanced by a glittering, heavenly tiara and sparkling, sequined gown of light ... reserved especially for night.

• • Act the way your consicense tells you to act. What matters most is that you act as you know you should, even at the discipline of freedom, and that is the essence of bravery. ,

Wednesday, May 16, 19'73 REMEMBER WHEN?

You're old enough to remember the real American if you can remember when you never dreamed your country could lose.

When you left your front door unlocked.

When a girl was a girl in id boy was a boy — and you could tell them apart.

When even the word "socialism" was a dirty word.

When the poor were too proud to take charity.

When a nickel was worth five cents.

When you bragged about your home town, your state and your nation.

When the flag was a sacred symbol.

When a man who went wrong was blamed — not his mother's nursing habits or his father's income.

When things weren't perfect and you didn't expect them to be.

When people still had the capacity for indignation.

When being sick meant that you weren't feeling well.

When people expected less and valued what they had more.

When everyone was not entitled to a monthly income whether he worked or not.

When a man's word was his bond.

When America was the land of the free and the home of the brave,

She is one of those rare persons possessing a wealth cf admirable qualities. Her enthusiasm, wisdom, experience, articulateness, forthrightness and her ability to excel are just a few that have been most obvious.

Mildred has been first in many ways to her credit. She was the the first to serve 2 terms as President of the Houston Assn. of Legal Secretaries. She is the first person to hold the office of State President and at the same time serve as Board Member on the National Association of Legal Secretaries (International).

Dear Brothers and Sisters: It is a good .thing that Texas braggs only on the good things that we can do bigger and better than they do them elsewhere, because if we would also compete for doing the bad things best, we would be sunk, for we could never hope to out-do the enormous Watergate scandal. I hear that when the hinges blew off of that Watergate business, some of the officials got into it up to their necks. In fact, quite a few of them were forced to vacate their offices and for good. Publicity wise, this episode has even dwarfed the recent destructive Mississippi River flood, and I am afraid that this is only the beginning.

But getting back to good things, we have always stressed higher education, so we should get behind the Czech studies program at the University of Houston. Here is a list of sonic more good folks who have already contributed their share: Elsie and Louis Roznovsky — $10.00 Jerry Baletka — — — $10.00 Anna Kilnar $10.00 Rosalie and Tim Kostom — $50.00 Mrs. Barbara Sebek — $10.00 Louise and Ed Kadlecek — $2.00 Della and Amos Kadlecek — $2.00 Mary and Alex Johnson -- — $5.00

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Our last meeting was held on Thursday, May 3rd, at 8 p.m. with Lodge President Leon Zavalny presiding.

Flag bearers were Gary Pavlica and Frankie Novosad who also led the assembly in the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Vice President Johnnie L. Vanicek and Treasurer Clarence Sodek were absent. Then Brother Zavodny asked all to stand for a moment of silence for deceased members, Sister Frances A. Rusnak and Brother Tom. Mikeska. May these departed members rest in eternal peace.

I had a brief obituary about Sister Rusnak in my last report. Brother Mikeska, 74, died very unexpectedly on April 20th. He had undergone several operations with amputations of his legs. He passed away from an apparent heart attack. His survivors include his widow, Mrs. Albina Mikeska and three daughters and several grandchildren.

Services were held on Monday from the Harper-Talasek Funeral Chapel with interment in the Seaton Cemetery. He was a former grocery proprietor, cafe owner, and lastly operated Tom's Place on East Adams. Deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.

Sister Ann Balusek was the only visitor at this Meeting. Thank you for

Wednesday, May 16, 1973 coming and do so again.

The new members accepted were: adults — Richard Robert Carreira and Calvin Lee Young and juveniles, Kristopher Michael Glenn, the grandson of Brother Anton and Sister Agnes Motl, and Brian David Stork. A warm welcome is extended to each of these new members. We are proud you chose Lodge No. 47 as your home lodge.

Sister Bolton stated that a get-well card had been sent to Brother Charlie Martinek who had undergone surgery at Kings Daughters Hospital. At this writing, his condition has worsened After a. brief stay in a nursing home.

Brothers Robert Krcha and Charlie Mikulas, Sr., were both reported as patients in the VA Hospital. We are hoping these brothers may soon return to their respective homes in good health.

Sister Bolton read the previous minutes which were accepted as read. The chairmen all gave their reports for the month of April. Brother Sodek was absent so there was no treasurer's report. Brother Willie Kohutek gave the financial secretary's report.

The Resolution Committee communicated with Sister Talasek, widow of our departed member, Brother Will Talasek of Rosenberg because we hadn't known about Brother Talasek's passing and the wreath of flowers had not been sent for the funeral. The lodge treasurer is to send a check to the family. We are so sorry this death occurred without our knowledge, since it was out of town.

Sister Lillian Kosarek read the board minutes. The trustees recommended that this year we change to selling tickets for beer and soda pop.

You will purchase your tickets at a booth and then just exchange your tickets for your drinks at the bar. Also, the cabinet for the ticket booth is being built and will be complete soon.

The date of the next meeting was changed to Thursday, June 7th. This will be preceded by the youth club's talent contest. Sister Vanicek will probably have more details on the contest. The time for the start of the contest is 7:30 p.m. with the lodge and youth club meeting being held immediately following the completion of same.

The Improvement Committee, consisting of Alfred Klusacek, Leon Sodek, Bill Kosarek, Frank Spanhel and Joe Mihatsch, recommended that ceramic

VPSTNiK tile be installed in the rest rooms.

There was an estimate for this improvement but none for the plumbing replacements. A long discussion followed with the improvement being approved, and this is to be started immediately, as to be complete before the picnic in July. Also, Leslie Mesecke and Frank Spanhel are to secure a small tractor with a shredder mounted underneath so it can cut the grass close to the building and also handle the ground's cutting.

Sister Vanicek gave the youth leader's report. Sister Viola Chervenka of Leedale spoke to the club on the tour of Hawaii that she and her husband took in January. Sister Vanicek stated that maybe Sister Chervenka could show the slides they have, at a later date. Maybe another night other than a meeting night, with a covered dish supper in conjunction with this. The teens' social was set as a dance on May 11th. at the lodge hall. The juniors set a hayride for the May 18th meeting at '7:30 p.m. at the lodge hall. The clubs elected their officers And committees. The deadline for entering the craft at the District YAD is June 19th, so the youth should be working on their craft now. The craft, talent, and king and queen contests will be July 8th at Flag Hall Cyclone, Lodge No. 24. Sister Vanicek also stated that Sister Sandy Sodek resigned as an assistant youth leader due to health reasons. She praised Sister Sodek's excellent assistance to her and Sister Zavodny and stated they will miss her immensely.

Later, we proceeded to select the chairmen for the picnic. Volunteers were: Games — Frankie Klinkovsky; Tickets: — Jerry Mikulas, Jr.; Auction Dan Balusek; Teddy Bears — Floyd and Emilie Stuteville; Drink Tickets Ruby Bolton; and the youth leaders and the younsters in charge of the fish pond, bean bag and ball throws. The next morning, Sister Zavodny asked my husband and me to be the kitchen chairmen, so we will be calling on many of you for help with this large project. A few of the chairmen were Still in doubt, so when these are selected their names will be published.

The picnic will be on Sunday, July 22nd, so start making plans to come to Seaton Star Hall's annual picnic.

More details as the y develop.

Sister Bolton read the names of premium refund cheek recipients and

9 also drew the names,'- for the door prizes. The winners were Brothers Floyd Stuteville and Bill Kosarek.

Then the meeting adjourned with our next meeting scheduled for June 7th at 7:30 p.m. with local eliminations; first, followed by the meetings. AtAtention, all ex-students, ex-teachtention to all ex-students, ex-teachers, and ex-trustees of the Seaton Public School District No. 18 — all are invited to the Seaton School Reunion on Sunday, May 20th, 1973 beginning with registration at 11 a.m. A covered dish lunch will be served at 10 o'clock, followed by a business meeting. Door prize will be given. All teachers and board members will be recognized; also, the class with the largest; number of classmates present. Make plans to meet with your ex-teachers and exclassmates at the Seaton School on May 20th, 1973.

When my father-in-law was a resident in Southern Manor Nursing Home in Temple, his roommate was a Mr. Richard Butterfield for a few weeks.

Mr. Butterfield had mentioned his daughter, Sister Edna VoMan was an officer at Lodge No. 172, Pasadena. I have always read her letters in the Vestnik. Only recently she had written that her father was ill in the hospital and she had visited the Supreme Lodge offices. Last week, Mr. Butterfield passed away, so I am expressing my family's sympathy to this family.

We had experienced this kind of loss on March 22nd, when Mr. Joe Pechal, Sr. passed away.

Before I close for this time, I must mention that the lodge's custodians, Alfred and Martha Klusacek, purchased another home, so we are wishing them much happiness in this new neighborhood. They will be living closer to the lodge hall now.

I'd better quit before i take up the entire Vestnik space.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Jerry Pechal, —SP.TST-

Dear Members, Since last Sunday was Mother's Day, I wish to honor all the Czech mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers who left their own country years ago to make a better life for their posterity in a strange land. Each of these fine ladies faithfully worked by her husband's side or continued to carry on alone if circumstances so dictated.

These courageous women were so dedi-

10 Bated to their families that they persevered through innumerable hardships to create a safe and loving home for them , and instilled in their children the need for honesty and a high moral code. These are truly beautiful ladies, as the philosopher Shaftesbury said, "The most natural beauty in the world is honesty and moral truth."

My own great lady is my grandmother, Mrs. Frank Krejci, Sr., who is now in Heaven; two other great ladies from Czechoslovakia are President Ernie Hanka's dear mother, Mrs. Ida Hanka and the late Mrs. Anna Kostom, noble mother of past president Tim Kostom. Unfortunately, I am unable to name all of them, but each person who reads this letter can identify his own great lady. I believe that we owe most of our grand heritage to their great strength and faith.

I hope you are planning to attend the special semi-formal Nick Navarro dance this Friday from 9 to 1. This well-known orchestra is famous for its unique arrangements, so I know you will have a good time!

Those beautiful color movies of Africa will be shown free of charge at 8 p.m. Friday, May 25. Be at the lodge that night for an educational as well as entertaining evening.

Our hard-working First Vice President Emil Horelica reminded us in his Vestnik letter of May 2nd that we need to support the program to have Czech taught at the University of Houston. It will be a big help if you are able to drop a dollar or two (or more) in an envelope and mail to Czech Study Courses, Lodge 88, 1435 Bean Street, Houston 77008.

The Saturday night dances remaining in May include Lee Roy Matocha en May 19 and Vrazels on May 26. The first dance in June will be Ray Jurecka on June and. Watch for news in my next letter about our big Splash Day Dinner and Battle Dance featuring Vrazels and Lee Roy Matocha on Sunday, June 3rd.

Please check the Calendar following the Czech section of the Vestnik for dates of our social night and suppers.

Members are invited to drop by the Blue Room for a "monthly special" at reduced prices!

Congratulations are sent to proud grandparents Bessie and John Vasula and Julia and Bunyon Stark and parents, Jeanette and Clifford Wayne

VPSTNtIC Stark on the arrival of a pretty baby

girl, Jennifer Lee. Jennifer is about to become one of our youngest lodge members! Faithful Lodge 88 members, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Vandiver, celebrated their thirty-first wedding anniversary with a group of friends at the Ray Jurecka dance April 28. Among their friends were the hard-working members, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Jarisch; her many friends were happy to see Sister Jarisch dancing after her recent foot surgery.

Talented Randy Hendrick, son of board member Weldon and entertainment committee member Lydia Hendrick, is a student at Waltrip Sr. High School. Recently his class put on a production of the play "Fiddler on the Roof," and Randy took part in almost every aspect of it: he was assistant director, stage manager, acted the part of Avrahm the bookseller, was on the committee in charge of costumes, scene design and scene construction, and was even on the set crew! I really think Randy deserves a lot of credit; some of our lodge members were present at the play and really enjoyed it.

Get-well wishes are sent to Brother Jerry Kolecny who has been ill since Easter.

Fraternally yours, Jeannette Walkoviak —813JST--LODGE NO. 160, SAN ANGELO

Dear Members and Readers, I want to thank all the people at the Supreme Lodge and all members of Lodge 160 who had been so helpful and understanding while I held the office of local financial-secretary the last 6.5 years. I can truly say that it was a most enjoyable experience for me.

Two of our lodge members were elected to district offices. H. J. Haviak was re-elected president for the third year. Chris Erenek was elected flag bearer.

A "thank you" to Mrs. Mary 1-laisler for coming to our last youth club meeting on May 6. We all enjoyed all she had to present to us.

Jim Scoggins, our pitcher, hurled a very good game allowing 3 hits, 1 walk and struck out 13 batters.

Our leading hitters were Lawrence Honza with a home run and a single, Albin Vrana, with 2 singles, Jeff Burton with a single and a base-on-balls, Jack Scott with a single and a baseon-balls, Jim Scoggins with a double, and Wiley Beesley with a sacrifice fly.

Defensively, we played well as only one error was committed.

Monday night, May 7 we played Genco and lost a very close ball game by a score of 4 to 3. Actually, we gave the game away because 3 of their runs were unearned and a loss of this type hurts more than when the opposition actually beats you. We opened the first inning by scoring 3 runs, then we were stymied the rest of the way, despite a couple of opportunities to score. Lionel Schulz pitched a very good game and deserved to be credited with a win, but 3 errors led to 3 unearned runs

which lost the game. Schulz allowed 4 hits, walked 5 and struck out 8 batters.

Leading the hitters were Lawrence Honza with a double and a single, Bill Skrabanek with a single, Harry Wilkerson with a single, Jack Scott with a single and Lionel Schulz with a single.

Wiley Beesley had a sacrifice hit and Leonard Drozd had a base-on-balls. We will have to play better ball afield to beat this team the next time we meet.

On Thursday night, May 10, we played the John E. Mitchell team at 8:30 p.m. On Thursday night, May 17, we play George Anderson at 7:15 p.m., and Thursday night, May 24 we play Haynes Auto at 8:30 p.m. all games at Samuel Grand Diamond No. 1.

SOKOL SLET Nazdar!

As our date the Slet draws near, June 10, 1973 at Houston, we want you to understand what is a Slet and why.

The Sokol organization is dedicated to the physical, mental and cultural ad-

12 vancement of its; ; Members. It is based upon the theory that only physically fit, mentally alert and culturally welldeveloped citizens can form a healty, strong and fearless nation. To attain this objective we conduct weekly drills and training which is consumated in a competitive atmosphere and exhibition call the Slet.

The Slet is composed of a series of events that include competition of men, women and children in calisthenics,apparatus, tumbling, athletics, special numbers and dances. All through the year individual units put out their best to develop competitors who will be judged the best. These competitions are held usually proceeding the Slet.

Then at the Slet. which is usually held on a Sunday; all of the gymnasts perform for the public showin g their winning form and superior training. It is also a method where all units are able to meet new faces, old friends and to recruit new talent. The Slet serves a three-fold purpose: to compete with cur sister units to show the public our accomplishments and to socialize and enjoy life and neighbors.

Annual slots are held by the Southern District which has units in Texas and Oklahoma. National Slots are held every four years, usually i n Chicago.

In fact, a National Slet will be held this year in June and you get a preview of the type of talet that Texas will be sending to represent us.

All of the activity will take place for a three day period of June 8 to 10th at Houston on the grounds of Sokol Houston and on the Monte Beach Park adjacent to the cultural center. If you have never seen a Slet you owe yourself the opportunity to see it, and if you have seen a Slot before, you will never want to miss one. You can see performers from Dallas, Ennis, Fort Worth, Corpus Christi, Houston and Yukon, Oklahoma. You owe it to your children to attend the gala affair.

Next week we will cover some of the special performances to be seen at the Slet.

Nazdar!

FROM TIM PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

A Report and Some Observations Dear Members: In this report, I thought I'd pass on to you some items and thoughts that have crossed my mind and my desk in the last couple of weeks.

May 1 — Law Day USA. A recent dispatch and news release from the various bar associations across the country tells us that Law Day was adopted by means of a joint resolution in the 87th Congress and signed by the President of the United States establishing Law Day as a permanent national observance on May I. Like the significance of several other major holidays, the meaning of Law Day should remain with us throughout the year, not just on May 1. Law Day is an educationalpatriotic observance established by

Wednesday, May 19, 1973

the Congress, and the purpose of it is to bring to public attention the rights and duties of citizenship. As responsible Americans and true fraternalists it is our duty not only to uphold the law but to assist law enforcement agencies in performing their duties. It is also our duty as citizens of this great nation of ours, and again as fraternalists, to perform other civic duties that are normally required of good citizens. These duties certainly include and require us to respect the rights of others.

In its resolution, the 87th Congress calls on all Americans to re-dedicate themselves to the ideals of equality and justice under law in their relations with each other. To that end, it was hoped that thousands of programs were held throughout the nation on or about May 1 in the schools, churches, a n d in numerous organizations throughout the land. If they weren't they should have been.

Law Day has three objectives: 1) To foster a deeper respect for law by teaching how laws serve all citizens; 2) to encourage responsible citizenship by demonstrating that individual rights and freedoms involve individual obligations; 3) to emphasize the basic values of the rule of law in the United States as contrasted to the rule of force under other forms of government. Our rights under law include the right to equal protection of the laws and equal justice in the courts. It also includes the right to be free 1. cum arbitrary search or arrest. It includes the right of equal educational and economic opportunities. The right to choose public officers in free elections is also guaranteed; the right to own property; the right of free speech, press and assembly; the right to attend the church of our own choice; the right to have legal counsel of our own choosing and a prompt trial if accused of a crime.

Our duties as citizens include the duty to obey the laws, the duty to respect the rights of others, the duty to inform ourselves on issues of government and community welfare, the duty to vote in elections, the duty to serve on juries if called, the duty to serve and defend our country, the duty to assist agencies of law enforcement, and the duty to practice and teach the principles of good citizenship in our home.

As fraternalists, I thinly all of us

been courteous to the old and generous with the poor. I've tried to teach some one, somewhere, how to lead a better life.' Now if you can answer, `You bet!' you are a patriot!"

I think Mr. Burton's remarks are appropriate for any day of the year, well taken and should be pondered by all of us.

Installation Of A New Lodge. In last week's Vestnik and elsewhere in this Vestnik, you will find notices and letters pertaining to the installation and dedication of new Lodge Houston Northwest No. 176 in Houston, Texas, on Sunday, May 20. This is the latest lodge to be installed and become a part of the great SPJST Family. The lodge was actually organized last November 5 when they elected officers and the essential committees. They have a nice list of charter members, and there is every prospect of this becoming a fast-growing lodge. It will be my pleasure, and that of other Supreme Lodge members, to attend this dedication and formal installation. We hope as many of our members around the state can attend this ceremony as possible and be a part of the welcoming throng for the membership of this new lodge.

New Hall Opening. In addition to the organization and installation of new lodges, our Society is moving ahead on other fronts, namely, the construction of new, lodge homes. Our one lodge in East Texas at the present time has been in existence since 1934, with no lodge home of its own. I am speaking of Lodge Borovy - Haj No. 74 in Love"So much for the outward manifeslady, Houston County. For a good many tations of patriotism. If repeating the years, the lodge was in a dormant pledge and saluting the flag and singstate, with no new members being ing the anthem are your only patriowritten up and very little or no actic acts, you're no patriot. It takes tivity. Then, as is often the case, a few more than that to be a good citizen — key people decided that the lodge a whole lot more. For one thing, it is should be re-activated and counted your patriotic duty to vote. Are you a among the active lodges in the Society, patriot? and then they went to work. This is "It is patriotic to pay your fair taxes, exactl y what happened in the not to cheat, not to shave off a cent Lovelady-Crockett area and Lodge 74.

I shall not name the individuals in here and there. Are you a patriot?

"When the lights are out and you this report; I will leave that for my are alone with yourself, can you say? 'I remarks at the formal dedication, tentatively scheduled for Sunday, Sephave made the country a little better to live in.' Or can you say 'I have improv- tember 2, the Sunday before Labor Day ed my community in some physical way Monday.

It was my privilege to attend one of so those who come after me will find it a more comfortable place in which the first meetings of this lodge in early 1972 after it "came to life", and to live.' `I have turned in a dope pusher, or again this past week to meet with some other jackal who preys on me certain key people in doing some PR work with Radio Station KIVY and and my kind. I've driven safely. I've

subscribe to these articles of faith.

In keeping with the spirit of Law Day, we might also include an observance and re-emphasis of patriotism. Many people have different conceptions of what patriotism is all about, but Mr. Alex Burton of KRLD radio station in Dallas had some very fitting and appropriate remarks in this regard in his commentary on that radio station on January 4, 1973. Among other things he noted the following: "I don't think there is a thing wrong in the world with genuine, heartfelt patriotism. I think it is right to believe you live in the best country in the world. I have been in a few countries other than this one and I can tell you there is more freedom here than anywhere else in the world. I believe it is proper to salute the flag, and repeat the pledge of allegiance; I believe it is right to sing the national anthem. To do anything less I believe is to indicate to those that might be watching that you do not care about your country.

"But I do not believe you should salute the flag, repeat the pledge of allegiance or sing the national anthem only because you think someone is watching. If that is the case then your patriotism is not genuine and heartfelt. If you do walk around or not sing, or seem to pay no attention then it strikes me that it is yourself you are not satisfied with. If you can't respect the country you live in, and there is no nail in your foot to hold you in that country, then move. Go find a country you can be happy in.

13 the local newspaper. Remember two important dates: Wednesday, July 4th for the opening of this new hall, and Sunday, September 2 (before Labor Day) for the formal hall dedication.

Another New Lodge Home. Another older established lodge, Stefanik No. 142 in Houston, has outgrown their facilities and is constructing a new lodge hall at the old location: 5508 Nolda in Houston. The date of the opening and dedication has not been Set, but it will probably be in the summer. Here again, progressive leadership and determined membership working together have accomplished much.

There will be other new lodges organized. Brothers and sisters, we salute you for these fine growth steps for the betterment of our SPJST. Referendum. The response to the referendum and the two items set forth therein has been very prompt.

Within just a few days after the referendum was sent out, we had a large number of the ballots returned. Secretary-Treasurer Mikeska tells me that as of Friday, May 11, he had received a total of 207 returned ballots. These are being kept by him unopened until the Supreme Lodge meeting in July.

A Wet Season. Most areas of the state have not had too many long periods of fair weather since about October of 1972. This past winter, and this spring particularly, have been unusually wet.

This has posed a particular problem for the agricultural regions of our state and to our farmers. Farmers in many areas of the state are three weeks to one month behind in almost all of their planting. Sorghum or milo, usually planted early in March, was planted in some areas sporadically whenever the weather cleared long enough for the ground to dry and the farmers to get into the fields. In short, spring planting has gotten off to a very bad start this year. Those who were fortunate enough to plant their crops and have them come up now find them turning yellow from an overabundance of moisture. Fields in many areas are water-logged. On my trip to Lubbock a couple of weeks ago, we saw whole fields partially inundated. Cotton remains to be planted, but the fields will have to dry considerably before this can be done. If this can be done by the first of June things will be in pretty good shape. Planting cotton late in the season often invites the boll weevil, and that can be very destruc-

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Lodge 176, Houston Northwest and to also urge our fellow members of SPJST to support Lodge 176 by attending their dedication and thereby welcoming them into our District V family. Please watch the Vestnik for more details.

Since early February, we have been reminding you to keep the 4th of July open to spend it with District V at an "Olde 'Tyme Picnic." Very recently, we heard that the new lodge at Lovelady was planning their dedication for the 4th of July. At our District V Youth Leaders' meeting held April 30, it was decided, by a unanimous vote, that we cancel our 4th of July picnic and instead support the Lovelady lodge by attending their dedication on that date.

District V camp plans are in their final stages and youth leaders have been advised of the plans as they are made, and have, in fact, shared in these plans. Junior camp will be from Monday, June 11, thru the morning of June 14. Teens will come to camp on Thursday, June 14, (at which time the bus will take the juniors home) and stay until Sunday, June 17. Our camp will be at Camp Hollygrove. The deadline for getting camp applications to the DYC is Sunday, May 20.

District V YAD will be Sunday, July 22, at Lodge 88 in Houston. YAD applications must be in the hands of the DYC by Monday, July 2, Please talk with your youth leader should you have any questions about YAD. As we know more about our time schedule, you will be informed. Start working on your crafts and your performance for the talent contest.

School is almost at an end and the time for summer fun is right around the corner. Please be extra careful enjoy our SPJST activities together. with all your activities so we can all Don't forget! You voted to have a beach party this summer — you'll be hearing more about this in a couple of months.

Mr. Contorno has been most interested in establishment of Czech courses at the University of Houston.

He will be discussing the possibilities of bringing "Slavic languages" to the University of Houston Fcreign language department.

Mr. Contorno welcome.

EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY We, the undersigned Resolution Committee of Lodge No. 25, Ennis, in behalf of our members, do hereby express our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family of our departed borther, WESLEY A.

Mr. John Hams is a Czechoslovakian Resolution Committee: living here in Houston. Ile is presently A. F. Gurecky employed as a daf tsman by a major Mrs. Carrie Jaresh ' firm here and studying partime at the Mrs. Joe Martinek University. Through his various aquaintances and experiences at the University, he became aware of a significant number of people who were interested in Slavic studies 'and thought we might begin something at our University involving these languages. He from here

Wednesday, May 16, 1973 began establishing a liason between University administrators and admin-4strators of local Czechoslovakian organizations, such a Sokol, KJT, SPJST. They are working together in attempting to get the University to consider this proposal for Slavic languages.

Q: Obviously, this new progam is going to help the ethnic groups, but is it going to affect the 'average student, say a student who plans to take a foreign language as a requirement?

A: Probably most important for the average student attending the University is the fact that it will offer a more diversified selection of languages in fulfilling the foreign language requirements.

In my own area of interest it certainly has implications for literary research, in that, Czechoslovakia has witnessed such a dynamic social change over the past decade, that a significant literatme has emerged from this country.

Q: What other courses have possibilities of emerging because of this institution of this foreign language?

A: The first that comes to mind is perhaps, Political Science Department.

Czechoslovakia witnessing certain ideological changes, changes in governmental control, it certainly has implications for students studying Political Science.

I might add, that University of Texas, for example, offers courses in Scientific Czechoslovakian. The University being to some extent scientifically oriented. This would certainly be of great interest to a majority of students.

Q: Do you feel like it would attract a majority of graduate students that do eraduatet work at the University?

A: Most definitely, a graduate student in looking for a University to study in, is going to be looking for one that presents an image to expansion and progressiveness. Certainly this diversified language offering is one facet of expansion which would attract graduate students to the program.

Q: I am sure that a lot of subjects and research projects could be devised from the new language?

A: Yes, this is a potential aspect of the program. We hope to begin in a moderate way of course.

Q: Thank you very much for being with us. This has been Mr. Vincent Contorno.

SPRAVA ZPRAVA

r RI 1 Lekee osmnacta — Lesson 18 Correcting some often — made errors In this lesson, we will deal with some errors that are frequently made by Czechs in Texas.

KDE — KAM These 2 'words are probably misused more than any other. We frequently hear, "Kde jedeS?" This is wrong. To indicate the physical action of going somewhere, the word KAM is used: Kam jdeS? Kam jede:;? The word kde indicates a stationary situation, and 'cannot be used to indicate physical action. Ex.: Kde to je ? Kde bydlite?

If.de je nadraii? etc. And using KAM, lwe say the follovin g : Kam pojedete weer? Kam piljdete po divadle? Kam jste Sli po zabave etc. All you need to remember is whether you are indicating action or not.

SEM — JSE11.1 We call words like these homonyms; they sound the same but have entirely different meanings. In English, some homonyms are: there, their, they're bear, bare; and close, clothes.

SEM means "here" or "to here", with ACTION, Ex.: Veera p •ijeli sem. Pojd` sem! Dojeli sem §t`astne. All of these involved Action in coining or getting here.

JSEM means simply I am, or used with certain verbs, denotes tense, or time something happened.

Ex.: Jsem u2 stari elovek.

B31 (byla) jsem na vYlete v horaeli.

Mel jsem se dobi'e.

In speaking the above two wor."'s of sem and jsem, there is practically no recognizable differeilice: however, in writing it makes all the difference

Here are 2 tricky 'words, both written and pronounced exaktly the same, but again have 2 entirely different meanings It is therefore important that we know how to spell the one we wish to use.

SPRAVA — means administration, or SPRAVKA, which is a repair; or SPRAVITI, 'which means to fix or to repair.

Ex.: Statni sprava je umistena Austine.

Strojnik provedl spravlot na praece.

Podarilo se mu na y pfijimae spraviti.

ZPRAVA means "report". Ex.: Pan ieditel podal lzpraytt o 'Skole. (Using both words: Vedouci statni spravy podal podrobnou zpravu o sve einnosti.)

UMET — MOHU Umet means "to know how to do things." It must not be confused with MOHU. Ex.: Umite mluvit eesky? Ten elovek neumi mleet. UmiS hrati na klavir?

WHIT means "I can", indicating permission.

Ex.: Mohu jet s varni? — Can I go with you?

Ano, mohu yam to ilci.

(In colloquial speech "'unite, and "'union" may be used for mohu, hou.)

NESMIM NEMUSIM I Nemusim means "I need not don't have to."

Nesmirn means, "I must not." smET Smet means, "to be allowed to" Smim — I may Smis — you may Srni -- he (she) may Smime — we may Smite — you (p1.) may they may Smeji Ex.: Smim kourit? — Smite.

Smim vas doprovodit? — Nelnusite.

EXERCISE Use the following 'words in a sentence.

kde kam sem jsein sprava zprava tist'ounka Anielka Pohlednete na Anieku jak pekne padla v kagieku.

Ted' to stoji -- nevi rady:

Nic uti neptalo, a kdyt nastal den, kdy se melo jednani konati, nemohla se pies vAechnu svou dobrou viili zbaviti rozeilenYch obay . Kavina tam bude hanebne o ni hovokiti a nekdo z tech, kdo bud= peitomni, bude piece veriti 'tie ona byla S. .patnou tenon a to na ni Ipi vina rozvratu. Kdyby radeji ui peael spravce Popelik, aby ji povedel vYsleclek, probate potom nastane pro ni klid a mir.

Neeekala spravce at peed veeerem, hadajic, tie se jednani i na odpoledne protahne. Kavina jiste bude hledati rtizne triky, aby jednani zapletl a aby piece co mono nejvice z skal. Mimo nadani. objevil se spravce o polednach.

Hned jak vchazel, videla mu na tie se vraci s dobrou zp•avou.

"Nedokoneili jste jednani, tie?" novidala starostlive.

"Ale ano, VAechno je hotovo a pan rada tit odjitidi, vlastne odchazi do Prahy. Ani povoz na drahu si nezjednal, na autobus eekati nechtel a ted`

VESTNfR tei hodiny pocupe. Aspon ugetei a bude miti dosti easu peemY geti o sve moudrosti."

"Co Gabriela? Byla peitorrina?"

"Nebyla, peedlettil jeji pinou moc. A asi deset minut si podinal velmi bojovrie. Jak pan natal% tak pan rada byli velmi trpelivi a mime ho na to ei ono, co tiadal, jako na nemotine upozortiovali. Ale snad prave proto se domnival, ie se ho boji a zadal bVti drzY. Peedpisoval, ze musi pro vas poslati, tie va§i pinou moc neuznava ate chce s vami osobne mluviti. Kdyt toho bylo trochu mnoho, rada se rozeilil.

"A ted' dost toho tlachani!" keikl zlostne. "Zde je soud a tadnY trh. Pane notati, podejte nam peehled maijetku i4esn.ulelho Otomaxa Warmly a zapis o majetku, jak je v pozemkovYch knihach."

"Dovolte, napped musi. zaeal zase rada.

"Nic nedovolim, zde jsem ptednostou a soudcem, ja, a bude-li vam intitete si stetiovati. Nikdy se mi dosud nestalo, aby mi nekdo vytYkal, tie 'sedu jednani nespravne a nestrpim toho od •vas: Kdybyste einil pokusy dale provokovati, musil laYch vas z jednani vyloueiti. Za.pliovatell,' pate."

Zaeal diktovati, jak mu nota p eredlotii Kavina mraee se einil si poznamky. NeVgima/ si ho a vyzval Popelika, aby peednesl, co si pozUstala vdova pteje. •tekl kratce, jak byla vec si e dnana a rada peedlail dopis Milenin, tie se k jednani nedostavi a tie se spokoji s tim, co soud ueini. "Co si peejete?" tam' se Kaviny, hlasiciho se o slovo.

"Protestuji proti nizkemu odhadu majetku," povida/ patheticky. "Wayne ma cena nejmen.e dva miliony, znalci to dokati."

"Znalci peed dvema mesici dokaza' Ratyne s.lesezn i inventatem ma tte cenu osm set tisic," iekl rada suge.

"Zde je odhad soUdnimi znalci provedenY na zaklad'e vyzvani zalotny, u ktere si pan Otomar Janula yyptijeoval na Ono sve 'dcery Gabriely, nyni proy clane KavinoVe, dve ste tisic.

"Posledne dostali odhadci deset tisic," oznamoval notesr, "sam jsem jim ten peniz yyptacel, prototie jsem vy-

"Slotiite-li closet tisic, zastavim, jednani a budu v nem pokradovati, jakmile znalci podaji sve dobrozdini."

"To peace musi platiti poziistalost," namitl liSecek spleteny.

"Skoda, to jste pravnik," vysmal se mu rada ..'Zbyteane bychoin se spolu pfelt a opakuji, ";e mate instaneni cestu otevtenou. Slaite zalohu?"

"Rozmyslim si to jegte," iekl ziostne. ; • ; "Nebudeme na to eekati a mod. sveho &aria prohlaZuji, ze statek Ratyne s celYm ptislu genstvim pfipisuje se Pani Olze Janulove roz. Hronove.

"By!, sem pi.'edlolen tento dopis, mi. podepsanSr. Uznavate ho za svaj?" ptal se rada, ukazuje mu posledni jeho dopis.
