PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE AND REPORT Dear Members: It has been traditional for the president of the Supreme Lodge to submit an annual New Year's message and report to the membership for a number of years.

The year 1973 is again shaping up as an outstanding year for our Society.

We now have a total of 131 lodges with 48,367 certificates in force. (An estimate since the final figure will not be known until some time early in 1974X, During 1973, we saw the merger of some of our lodges. Lodge No. 127 Pokrok Kenedy •merged with Lodge No. 93, Karnes City. The newlymerged lodge assumed the number and name of Lodge No. 93, Karnes City. Lodges No. 79 and 56 in Corpus Christi voted to merge their two lodges early in December, and this will become official in the early part of 1974, at which time the new lodge name and number will be decided on.

We saw the organization and chartering of two new lodges in 1973, that of Lodge No. 176 Houston Northwest in Harris County on 20 May 1973 and Lodge No. 177, Academy, just south of Temple on 16 December 1973 Both of these lodges show great promise and we wish them well. There are two or three other lodges that are in the organizational stage at this time, but this will not be affi-

of them. (Net figures in insurance gain and members available in early 1974).

Premium refunds to members for 1973 (through December) will amount to approximately $190,357.24.

The seven percent refund to lodges for 1973 (through December) will amount to approximately $81,883,87.

The big "success story" for 1973 was the reactivation of Lodge No. 74, Lovelady, which had been dormant for almost 40 years. The reactivation culminated in the construction of a new lodge hall which was officially dedicated on September 2. Lodge No. 142 Stefanik in Houston also built a new hall which was dedicated on November 18, 1973. Congratulations to these two lodges for their notable progressive strides forward, and continued good luck in the future. dally accomplished until sometime !1-1 1974.

We'have also made progress in the amount of insurance sold during 1973 and have a new record of insurance in force. Credit for this effort goes to the entire Insurance Department, including the Supremo Lodge Vice President's office, the State Field Manager, district sales representatives and local sales representatives.

All of these people halve worked hard to achieve a record amount of insurance sold and put on the books in 1973, and we are very proud of all

1973 also saw the resignation from the Supreme Lodge of Director Brother Paul Sablatura. from District VI, after one year's service. He was automatically succeeded to the position of director by Brother Matt Vanek of Victoria on January 1, 1974.

1973 also saw the departure from our midst of many fine members .

Records indicate that 359 death claims were paid during the year, which is 18 more than in 1972. We shall miss these members in our circle of friends and in our lodges. God rest their souls. Our thoughts also turn

You never know, but your thank you may be the first note of appreciation the other person has ever received.

The rewards are so great that eternity alone can estimate them. And if you convey your thanks by letter, regardless of how slow the mails may be, as long as they arrive eventually, the message is still as fresh as when it was written.

All of us commit "boo-boos" and errors in judgment. A well-known evangelist recently stated that he . personally found that when you have made a mistake, it is far better to admit it. I have found people more than generous in understanding my faults. It is better to show htnnility and to say 'I'm wrong' or 'I'm sorry' when you've made a mistake". All of us are mortal beings and we should be flexible enough to learn valuable lessons from our errors and our experiences.

Back to DST. Most of us need to remember to set our clocks and watches ahead one hour on Sunday, January 6. That's the date year-round Daylight Savings Time starts under a new energy-saving law just passed by the Congress and signed by the President.

I wish to express my appreciation of the fine work of the Supreme Lodge officers and directors for a job well done; to all Supreme Lodge employees and their loyalty to the SPJST; to all of the people in the Youth Department involved in the youth program, from the State Youth Director to the District -Youth Counselors, local lodge leaders and assistants, the youth, parents, and everyone else involved. Our gratitude also goes to local lodge officers, district officers, sales representatives, and all those who contributed directly or indirectly to the growth of the SPJST in any way during the past year; to all lodge workers who worked long hours around their local lodges and participated in lodge activies, because withoul this vast corps of workers, lodge activities could not ,(t,lo on. We all know of some instances where faithful members practically "made a home" at the local lodge.

This is all acknowledged and appreciated.

VESTNtK We are indebted to Brother Otto Harms of our LAM Department for his untiring efforts and devotion to his work in our Library, Archives, and Museum here in the Supreme Lodge. We have had a lot of Visitors go through this installation during the year and all have remarked favorably on it. It is a distinct credit to the entire SPJST. We wish to give recognition to our editor, Brother Rudy Sefcik, and the Cechoslovak Publishing Company for their diligence in publishing our official publication• each week, and for the vast improvements we have witnessed in our official publication in the last few months. (And the front cover of a recent issue in color, no less!). The Vestnik fulfills a very important mission in our Society and serves to hind the entire membership together in a common cause.

I am grateful to honorary President Brother Edward L. Marek for his advice and counsel during the past year, and we wish him and Sister Marek well in the years to come.

I will continue to report to you periodically throughout .1974 as I have been doing since assuming office.

This January 1st marks another year of my tenure in office as your president, and I must say that I have enjoyed every minute of it. All of us here in the Supreme Lodge look forward to the coming year with high hopes for continued progress and growth of our SPJST. I am confident that we can and will meet the challenges that await us. We are asking the continued support and cooperation of the general membership, and with everyone working together, there is no doubt that we will have an even greater SPJST during 1974. I consider A a privilege to have served the membership these past five years and as I stated previously, I pledge and hope to do a still better job during this term.

We have enjoyed attending the Christmas parties and socials at several of our lodges• during the Christmas season. The fellowshIp and hospitality were great and we appreciated the invitations from Lodge 66, Waco; Lodge 47, Seaton; Loct.,,a 35, Elk. We regret that we were inable to attend other Christmas parties and socials at other lodges. It was a'so my privilege to install the officers at two of these lodges on the same occasion.

1974 Calendar. The 1974 calendars

3 have been mailed out to all members on the Vestnik mailing list. We think the calendar is an attractive one and useful to every household. If you did not receive your copy, or wish an extra calendar or two, please notify the Supreme Lodge. We have a number of extra calendars on hand.

May I close this message as I have in the past few years: May God's richest blessings be with you during the• coming year and in the years to come. May you especially be blessed with an abundance of good health,, for that is the most important ingredient of our lives, and may the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace!

Fraternally yours,

We will write more about the ones we have not covered later and publish photos also. This was plus Lodge No. 177, Academy (chartering) also December 16 afternoon! Wonderful fraternalists everywhere! * Saturday, December 15 — The Christmas party at Lodge No. 66, of Waco, was an enjoyable event, it was inspirational to all of us who attended. For a number of years Linden Lodge, has enjoyed hosting its membership to other functions as well; and with its membership increasing, the parties become larger every year.

Those of you who keep up with the SPJST activities through the Vestnik media, will remember that, at one time, Linden Lodge almost disbanded, but thanks to a few dedicated people who strongly believed in a better understanding, contemplated on an "active lodge" with the image of some day having an increase of membership and the strong foundation of some day enjoying a place to share their enjoyment. The handful of dedicated people started from scratch, so to speak. They did not remodel something that already was an old building. These folks had to locate a tract of land, and then they had to roll up their sleeves, adjust their work clothes and go to work and count every penny while the perspiration was rolling down their backs.

Since their August 26, 1955 dedication of their lodge home, the membership has held countless functions and hosted the 19th SPJST Waco Convention in 1964.

The members of Lodge 66 display

V It S T NtK

such a remarkable success on all their activities, that it is no surprise to us because these folks have plenty of spirit and spunk to host large activities. They again are proving this by accepting the task of arranging for the next SPJST Convention in 1976.

The evening of their Christmas party was well arranged and, with the beautiful decorations, delicious buffet - style dinner and youth program, added much meaning to the Christmastime atmosphere.

YL Libbie Parma and her assistants presented a fine youth program with many participants who portrayed parts in the Manger Scene, plus several other nice instrumental numbers, which concluded the enjoyable evening.

In last week's Vestnik issue, Sister Annie Hanus, a very consistent lodge reporter, had complete coverage of their lodge's Christmas party, including the names of guests attending, therefore, we will refrain from repetition.

Lodge No. 66, officers, their committees, and members deserve our compliments of all of us who attended the Christmas party, for it is folks like you who go out of their way to make a person feel at home and create a pleasant atmosphere among new and old acquaintances. * December 25, Christmas Day, the radio commentator came on the news service: "Our three astronauts in Skylab today succeeded in taking the best pictures to date of Comet Iohoutek. Kohoutek is 25 miles across ( in diameter) and is followed by a tail 25 million miles long. The information gained by, especially, the two who took the longest space walk to date, will enable our scientists to gain much more information and data about the creation of the universe and our own solar system itself over 5 billion years ago." In 1974 and the future, let us all be reminded of how insignificant we mortals really are in the comparasion of ourselves in size and the space of time and endeavor to do all the good we can while here!

Something Is Expected o You — The greatest inspiration and incentive to the accomplishment of

Wednesday, January 2, 1974

things in this life is to realize that something is expected of you. Not of somebody else, but of you. The men and the women who have achieved the greatest success in life have been those who have appreciated this truth and haye sought to govern their lives accordingly. When an individual realizes that something is expected of him, in most cases, he will seek to measure up to the particular thing that is expected of him.

Therefore, as anl underlying principle, have this thought firmly implanted in your mind. Make it a part of yourself and seek each day to fulfill it. At the beginning of the day stop long enough to give expression to these words: "Something is expected of me," and at the close of the day these words, "What have I accomplished?"

Realizing that something is expected of you, then realize in your heart that you, will accomplish something. Without a fixed purpose nothing much can be accomplished. An individual without purpose is like a ship without a rudder. It can never get anywhere.

But, a young man or a young woman, with a purpose in life has something definite in mind and, therefore, reaches something definite. How foolish we would consider the captain who left harbor without a definite purpose as to where he was going. Until he did so, he would be nothing more than a drifter upon the sea. Do not be a drifter.

-SPJSTPOSTMASTER HRUSKA OF WEST

RETIRES AFTER 18 YEARS After serving the West Post Office longer than any previous postmaster, Raymond J. Hruska, West's eighteenth postmaster retired Mon day, December 31.

Mr. Hruska was appointed by President Dwight Eisenhower and assumed the office: on January 1, 1956. Since then the West Post Office has experienced a continual growth in receipts, customers and size.

The retiring postmaster held the postal fort during his first year

Wednesday, January 2, 1974 of service in the one-time Post Office building that is now occupied by the Snokhous Plumbing Co. The office was then moved into a new building next to City Hall, now the location of the West News Stand, and in 1970 was again relocated to the spacious new build ing it now occupies on the corner of Reagan and Columbus streets, "I remember when trains would carry the mail when West dispatched and received mail several times a day," said Hruska as he recollects the many changes he has seen in the postal business from the. old Post Office Department to the present United States Postal Service.

"When I first started working for the Post Office in 1956, first class postage stamps were three cents a piece and postcards were two cents," said Hruska. "Things have certainly changed since then."

Prior to his appointment as post master, Hruska was in the grocery and hardware business for 28 years.

He said he started his business career as an agent and carrier of the Waco News-Tribune in grammar school.

Hruska and his wife Christine, live at 111 South Marable Street.

They have two daughters, Mrs. Margaret Shieldes and her husband and four children of Germany, and) Mrs Jeanette Colley and her husband and two children of Dallas.

A member of the West Brethren Church, the West Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis Club, the West Lodge AF & AM, the Waco Scottish Rite, the Karem Shrine and the SPJST Lodge No. 54, West; Hruska is also a retired West Volunteer ,Fireman with 30 years of service.

Upon retirement, Hruska said he plans to do a little traveling, conditions permitting, some fishing and "mostly nothing'.

"I'm going to miss all my fellow workers who gave me the utmost cooperation while I was postmaster," said Hruska, "as well as all the many friends and customers of the Post Office."

Hruska has been the head man at the West Post Office for 18 years. During khat time, when

Wednesday, January 2, 1974

the mail was a little later than usual, he was the one who was chosen to listen to the response, and when the mail was on time, he would hear no response at all.

A sign hanging on the Post Office wall reads: "There is no limit to the good a man can do if he doesn't care who gets the credit."

In regard to the years of devoted service Hruska has given to the West Post Office, the credit due him is out-weighed only by community appreciation for a job well done. For neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night, Raymond J. Hruska was always there.

Thank goodness he was.

(During that entire time, Bro. Hruska and ass't. PM Henry Lednicky and staff were very instrumental and cooperative with the publisher, techoslo y ak Publishing Co. and Vestnik editors seeing that our SPJST Vestnik always left the West Post Office Tuesday at 6 p.m. Our SPJST Mem bership appreciates this. — Editor) (Write-up and photo courtesy The West News — Editor.)

These blacks are ideally suited for use with synthetic rubber and their availability contributed significantly to t h e success of the synthetic rubber industry.

Since then, the process has been widely licensed to other carbon black producers and today more than 94 per cent of the world's carbon black is made from oil by furnace processes. Krejci has also been the inventor or co-inventor of United States patents in the carbon black field. Many have also been patented outside the United States.

Of particular interest is the energy conservation fact that Krejci's process produced much more efficient recovery of carbon blacks.

Prior to his invention, the process was extremely inefficient — with recovery of only 3 per cent to 5 per cent as carbon black by the channel process from natural gas.

Krejci's invention meant a recovery with efficiencies as high as 65 per cent.

(Editor's note: The following clipping from the Lavaca County Tribune was sent in by SL Pres. N. A. Morris from the SL PR office; We thank him for sending it. Mrs. Ethel Kennedy is the wife of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy, Skacel was her maiden name.)

"MY CONFESSION"

(MR. KAREL, SKACEL — a second cousin Of. Mrs. ETHEL KENNEDY confesses) Czech proverb: "All our ancestors are in us. Who can feel himself alone?"

Q. Tell us about your and Mrs. Ethel Kennedy's family.

A. Weill, the story of our clan fascinated me ever since student's days.

Our foregathers were. from Moravfla, which is a part of Czechoslovakia.

This chronicle I'll start with the year 1778, when Ondrej Skacel was born, to Vaclav Skacel and his wife Anna

Wednesday, January 2, 1974 Kopalova in the village of Ujezdec near Premv in Czechoslovakia. In 1801, that Ondrej Skacel married Miss Apollonia, Kutirova; they had five sons and three daughters. Among them were George Skacel, born April 4, 1913 — great-grandfather of Ethel Kennedy and Jan Skacel, my own grandfather. George Skacel got his portion from the family estate paid out and, in 1840, went to the USA and straight to California on a farm.

He was one in a million among the immigrants. (For whoever came to America then with money in his pocket? Twenty years later„ he wrote to his brother back home that he had his first million all but made. His son, James Curtis Skacel, went to Chicago and put his father's money into railroad — the most prosperous

Vt8TNIK enterprise of the day. James Curtis' son, George II, married Miss Ann Brannack in Chicago and founded the Great Lakes Carbon Corporation now in New York, Park. Ave., which remains to this day among the largest privately owned companies in the USA. George Skacel — Skacel II and his wife perished tragically in 1955 in a plane crash,, leaving three sons and four daughters off whom Mrs. Ethel Kennedy is one. Her brother.

Geo. Skacel III, also died in a plane accident, 1966. And in 1968 Sgt. George Skacel IV, only son of James Curtis Skacel of Mariposa was killed in Vietnam. Yes, tragic events certainly have stalked the American branch of our family Skacel.

Q. How did you ferret out the

13 American branch of your family?

A. Look at my life as one stormy passage. My father Florian Skacel, and my mother Ruzena,•had seven off-springs. Two sons and five daughters. My brother Adolf Skacel was killed in a car smash-up, September, 1969, leaving 3 small boys. I was born February 15, 1917 in Ujezdec, near city Prerov in Moravia. I studied in Prague and Berlin. Later I became an exile; and I could verify the old Czech adage that not the mountains meet with mountains but men with men do. Thus after a lapse of 130 years, the Moravian scion of our 'family met with American, in Greenwich, Connecticut.

The Moravian scion of our family had been represented in Greenwich meeting by me and the American by

18 Mr. Rushton Skacel, chairman of board of their company Great Lakes Carbon, I was consumed with curiosity. But one glance sufficed and I saw: before me stood a Skacel — from head to toe. I would have known 'him, among thousands. Familiar stature, same sense of humor.

"How many children do you have?"

"Let me see — believe it or not, I don't rightly know. But quite a few."

And turning to one of his boys who peered at the strange uncle from Europe unabashedly. "Tell uncle how many you are." The boy, indignant "You know very well — that we are six boys and one girl-- What's with you don't you want to own up to us." And here's a sample of the Skacel business acumen. Rushton's 4-year-old boy came up to me and held out a photo of himself. I thanked him, praised the likeness, and put the snapshot in my pocket. The boy started to cry. Thinking he wanted I is photo back, I wanted to return it, but one brother put me wise. "He cries because you didn't pay him a dollar he didn't give you the picture --- he sold it to you." My dollar dried the tears and brought forth a succession of other photos.

Rushton was candid. "I don't know much about my father's family. Probably wasn't interested enough. But I do remember his mentioning, Moravia often as the land of our ancestors. I never even looked it up on the map — not much sense for geography, you know. I went over to Europe just once. to Helsinki and the Olympics.

--SPJSTENERGY CRISIS MAY CHANGE RECREATION HABITS Today's youth is going to get the opportunity to demonstrate how deep its commitment is to turn its bark on a materialistic society in the months ahead, according to a well-known Texas A&M University leisure and recreation authority.

V2STN K Dir. Leslie M. Reid, head of the A&M Department of Recreation and Parks, said that "as recently as the summer of 1972, young Americans seemed in total agreement that no odds were too greati to campaign under the banner of ecology for preservation of natural beauty and to clean-up a soiled, polluted world."

Reid also is a researcher with the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station and an educator with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

"If you talked with college students, hard-core dropouts, commune members or just concerned youngsters," Reid said, "the message was essentially the same: We are being strangled in a plastic society. Who needs it?"

Reid added, "The recent interruption of oil imports from the Mid-East seems to indicate that Much of the clamor for a clean environment at any cost may have been only a skin-deep commitment. Reversal of decisions on the Alaska pipeline, on use of highsulfur coals, planned development of oil shales, and approvals for additional oil drilling in the Santa Barbara Channel have raised hardly a ripple of opposition."

Reid noted, however, that "our crusading youth have no choice but to play the game; we are all deeply involved in a fundamental re-thinking of our basic way of life."

In any event, Reid pointed out we all may soon have at chance to experience exactly what life in a nom-plastic society is like. It is beeoming increasingly clear that the fuel shortage is much more severe than the inconvenience involving shortages in gasoline and fuel oil.

"There is a serious concern whether enough basic petrochemicals exist for conversion to a galaxy of products. Toymakers, for example, depend heavily on oil for plastics. Phonograph records, automobile anti-freeze, polyester fabrics, auto tires and farm fertilizers are other items expected to be in short supply.

"Firms dealing in production of plastic products are already experiencing shortages as all segments of our society compete more frantically for a share of the available supply of plastic resins.

"The leisure and recreation implication of all this," Reid said "is

that as non-essential products increasingly lose out in cutbacks to manufacture bare essential industrial and health-maintenance items, people will be forced to reevaluate' their leisure preferences.

"The prospect," Reid added, "is that travel for fun may be greatly reduced or eliminated, sports equipment may be no longer available, and replacement parts for expensive recreational equipment may be unobtainable."

Reid emphasized that this country badly needs a chance to analyze its recreation, and leisure.

"Today, the leisure and recreation business is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. It deserves protection, yet this crisis is good in that it will make us take time to determine which activities are worthwhile and useful, and which ones are diversionary and destructive in nature.

"The oil crisis can definitely be instrumental in helping Americans 'focus their leisure tastes and activities{ in areas that will be uplifting to the individual, useful to society and in balance with Our energy supply," Reid continued.

"The young `plastic haters' may well have glimpsed the right road for us all; it's up to them and us to rationally assess the leisure choices facing us today," the recreation authority said.

HOUSE PLANTS NEED CARE Your pot plants will need a little special care this winter to give you added pleaSure in return.

Dr. William Welch with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service offers a few tips on caring for these house plants.

"Poinsettias, chrysanthem azaleas and most other flowering pot plants will last much longer if kept in a cool location away from drafts," says the landscape horticulturist.

"Never place them where heating vents or other heat sources can blow or reflect directly on them."

Water is extremely important.

Since your flowering plant has probably been growing in a greenhouse where it has had all the waiter it could use, it will wilt quickly when deprived. So keep the soil fairly moist to the touch. This usually requires water about every other clay, points out the Texas A&M University System specialist.

Overwatering is also a possibility,

Wednesday, January 2,, 1974 but if the plant's container drains well, this should not be a problem.

"Be sure the plant gets light," emphasizes Welch. "Artificial lighting is helpful but most plants will remain attractive longer if placed in a window or other source of natural light. However, don't plaice the plant in direct sunshine or too near glass."

What about transplanting these flowering plants?

Many species are not well adapted for garden use, says the specialist. Most florist type azaleas are difficult to grow and are best enjoyed for their flowering period and discarded. Gloxinias, cyclamen and poinsettias are not good landscape plants for most of Texas.

Poinsettias need a long, warm growing season', to flower outside and could be transplanted in South and parts of East Texas.

Chrysanthemums will perform satisfactorily but the holiday season is not a good time to plant them outside. If they can be kept alive until early spring, cut then' back to a height of three or four inches and plant them in well drained beds.

"Flowering pot plants are great to receive or give during the holiday season and with a little extra care, they can be enjoyed even longer," points out Welch.

YEAR ANTI-INFLATION PLAN

Has the cost of living created a family financial crisis?

If so, resolve to start the new year of right — with a plan to beat inflation, suggests Mrs. Doris Myers.

"Taking a realistic look at the family's financial situation is the first step," the home management specialist, Texas Agricultural Extension Service, Texas A&M University System, said.

"Second, inform each family member about the situation. But don't frighten children by creating an impression that there's no money for needs.

"Instead, explain ttht some of their wants may have to wait.

Point out that through family cooperation, money will `stretch' to buy more."

The specialist advised making a list of everything the family has of cash value — Plus all out-

111 United States Supreme Court. And, during most of our nation's life, there were no governmental restrictions on going abroad. All you had to do was buy a. ticket, board the ship, and sail away.

Nowadays, of course, , you do need a passport. But even today, the government's exit requirements are subject to careful scrutiny by the courts.

In one case, a member of a radical organization was denied a passport on the grounds that he might make contact with radicals overseas. However, there was no evidence that he was an active member or that the organization had any illegal plans of which he was aware.

The Supreme Court ruled that the government could not constitutionally prevent him from going abroad. Such a ban, said the Court, could block him from even visiting a foreign relative or doing research in a foreign library.

Furthermore, the government has even less right to keep a citizen from coming back into the country than to keep him from leaving.

"It is inherent in the concept of citizenship," said a federal court, "that the citizen, when absent from the country to which he owes allegiance, has a right again to set foot on its soil."

On the other hand, lesser limitations on the right to travel have been upheld. In another case, the government granted a passport with "area restrictions" —listing several countries as out-of-bounds.

This procedure was lawful, a court ruled later, because it fell within the presidential power to "conduct foreign affairs." The government could reasonably foresee, said the court, that American visitors in certain trouble spots might complicate our foreign policy.

"Even in a neighborhood community," the court added, "every man's right to roam is restricted."

Ve stfedu 2. ledna 1974 ni jmena to dokazuji ostatne zcela jednoznaene.

U Dolan na Kolinsku bYvala hos poda, ktere se pro vice neZ"ëil zpusob a zabavy kikalo Certovka, pfivodne tedy 'eertova hospoda."

Sam Mikuld8 DaeickY, spisovatel, frejit a vinapitel, o ni pie ye svych Pametech jako o 'Oertove kreme.

Obeas se ji fikalo I mazlive eertoviely. A tady asi zasahla do pojmenovani vrela, laska kamaradt z "mokre etvrti". Jmeno pak 'ATM° i na vesnici, ktera se kolem ni rozrostla.

A tak yes pana Oerta na vysoke vltayske strain u desk61ao ' KrumloV3, byla pojmenovana Oertyni, pomoci koncovky, ktera, je v jiZnich eechach obvykla, jak dokazuje Bechyne a Bavoryne.

Ale Oertousy, east Hornich Poeernic u Prahy, sem, patri jenom zdanlive. Pilvodne se toti'2, jmenovaly Treeftsy.

Ale neobvyklkm hlaskovYm pfesmykem jako je tomu u eeske "mlhy" a slovenske "hmly" -- se slabika tre obratila na ert — a tak vzoikl tvar Ortirsy a da gim vyvojem eertiisy.

I Praha ma sve eertovo zati.§1, romanticl:ou malostranskou Oertov ku, kdysi asi "eertovu kotlinu". Ale pra'Zske ij ablice 10, opet s d'ablem nic spoleeneho nemaji, jak dokazuje zapis v eeskYch regestech z roku 1253, kde stoji, e Vaclav I. svefil frantirkanskemu §pitalu Davlice.

"clehna" je, snad nejstari oznaeeni zleho ducha. Kdysi nebylo radno ani jeho jmeno vyslovovat a tak nal pfedkove Hkávabi opatrne "ro hat". To oVflem znamenalo nejenom derta, ale i nafoukance nebo parobaee. Tak& dnes lze tRico posoudit, od koho mail jmeno Rohatce na Roucinicku a Rohatsko
