Our members and readers will do well if they read the following notice pertaining to ROUTE and BOX numbers.

UNITED STATES POST OFFICE Officer-in-Charge H.M. Lednicky today urged all, rural route postal customers served by the West, Texas post office to use box numbers as part of their return addresses to assure faster, more efficient mail deliveries from, correspondents.

"Although box numbers are an integral part of most rural route addresses, it has recently become the practice of many postal cus• tomers to omit this element", Officer-in-Charge H.M. Lednicky said.

"This practice sometimes causes mail to be returned to the sender because of an insufficient address.

It has also been cited by publishers and other large mailers as one of the major causes of duplicate mailings to rural customers.

"These duplicate mailings hurt everyone" Officer-in-Charge H. M. Lednicky said. "They cost the big mailer in dollars and cents, and because they flood the mail stream, everyone's mail is slowed."

Officer-in-Charge H.M. Lednicky said the box number is as important to rural route addresses as the house number is to city addresses.

"Unless a rural route address con tains both, the box number and the route number, it is an incomplete address and is subject to return to the sender," Officer-inCharge said.

BARTOS BAILS OUT ENVIRONS

By CRAIG ENDICOTT Business Writer

Chances are you'll know an anahoeic chamber where you wolk into it. The heart beats audibly in the deathly still surroundings.

Such chambers as in the Caller Hearing and Speech Center are the

3 work of Jerry Bartos, who has been a pulse beat in air, noise and odor pollution abatement the past decade.

Bartos, one of several area businessmen up for the Small Business Administration "Man of ;111f! Year" accolade for the administration's 48county region, founded the air and dust pollution divisions of his business 10 years ago in ):is garage at home.

Raving no place go but up if he wanted to keep tae business alive, Bartos did just that.

He purnned in $1,000 of his savings to convert the yarage headquarters for sales, distribution and construction in air : filtration, dust control, air pollution: control and vibration abatement. Sales that first year Were a healthy $310,000.

The firm moved the next year to its -headquarters at 6434 Maple. This past year; with an expanded staff that now includes 12 highly-technical employes and further diversification (noise control was added in 1969).

Bartos, Inc., hit sales of more than $2 million.

BARTOS, AN effervescent man, has proven a man of solutions. He and his top assistants have deodorized a Dallas school that sits adjacent to a meat-packing firm„ kept gymnasium noises in a local school from filtering through to the choir room below, and designed a floating floor (laid on precompressed fiberglass pad) for a doctor's lounge just one floor above the' surgery rooms at a Dallas hospital.

His latest projects have been soundproofing walls for the new Dallas Convention Center, and designing odor, air and sound filtration units at the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport.

Basic to his noise-abating equipment is a ceramic-based vinyl-like covering that reduces the clang and clatter of the noisiest. canning and ,sheet-metal factories in a murmur.

Bartos enjoys plugging in an earshattering alarm device and covering the alarm with a box wrapped in the vinyl-like material in demonstrating the effectiveness of the material.

Only a faint buzz is heard. designs THE ODOR-PROOFING are based on activated (gases driven oft) carbon which he places in the air control units of buildings. At the Texas Bank, for example, exhaust from the kitchen is pumped into an executive dining room. No odor.

COURSES IN CZECH AT CHARLES UNIVERSITY IN PRAGUE, CZECHOSLOVAKIA

SUMMER

Two summer courses in the Czech language at the world-famous Charles University, Prague (founded in 1348) will again be offered this next summer. The project was approved by Dr. Ann Marie Elmquist, head of the Department of Modern Languages, Texas A&M University. The final approval

came through Dr. W. David Maxwell, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Dr. John C. Calhoun, Jr., vice president for Academic Affairs. Part of Vice President Calhoun's letter to the director of the project reads as follows: "Based on the interest of the TEA in this project and on the successful nature of the activity last year, I give you approval for the off-campus instruction during the summer of 1974 for a portion of the two courses in Czech (one four-hour and one three-hour course) to beoffered for off campus resident credit next summer, the instruction to take place at Charles University, Prague."

Joseph J. Skrivanek, Jr., instructor in Czech and project director said that plans for organizing the class are already underway as several students have aireadse written for application forms. He point-

Wednesday, january 30, 1974 ed out that this ateeearement is being released, to Crook: newspapers and students who are interested are to contact him. or see their Czech instructor at the university which they are now attending. Director Skrivanek said that he is sending application forms to the various Czech professors. "Last year we were allowed to, take 15 students from the various colleges and universities in Texas; however, more applied than we had room for." He also pointed out that the selection of eau:lents will be based upon the following priorities: Priority I — Applicaats who already have a teacher's certificate, Those who have already studied the Czech language for at least two years and need more hours of instruction to be certified to teach the Czech language. Applicants who have an assured position in a school in which they will, teach the Czech language courses at least part tune, or will be in an administrative poisition siupervising the teaching of the critical language. Priority 11 --- applicants who already meet the above first two requirements ana whose schools have agreed to introduce the 'Czech language at least within the next two years. Priority III — Advanced undergraduates who have two years of instruction in Czech and are registered for a curriculum, aimed at a professional certificate with Czech as one teaching field. Priorita Students with less than two years of Czech but not less than one year who plan to teach the Czech language after obtaining their degrees.

Expenses to the student are minimal. The Czechoslovak Foreign Ministry, together with the Ministry of Education, furnish the student free room and, board, reduced transportation rates from New York to Prague, free bus and train transportation within the country, together with free hotel accommodations, free tickets to theatres, operas, museums, concerts, etc. Professor Skrivanek pointed out that to his knowledge, the 1973 summer proje,:tt was the first project of its kind to be worked out with a foreign eountry.

"I believe sincerely that a student learns (absor'as) more in six weeks than he can learn here in

Wednesday, January 30, 1 74 the States in IV full year of college education. There simply is no way to duplicate such an experience at home. Three of the students who availed themselves of the opportunity last summer are now teaching Czech in our high schools or colleges. Another, I understand, has been asked to teach Czech at one of our universities. Others will become qualified and available to teach the Czech language after another session and after graduat -ingfromaclegorunivsty."

Director Skrivanek did point out, however, that responsible and concerned Czech-Americans who live in communities where there are many people of Czech extraction will have to take it upon themselves to see that the teaching of the Czech language is undertaken. "We cannot expect the school board or outsiders to initiate such a program. We shall have to do it ourselves, just like the Negro or the Chicano. They got nowhere until they asserted themselves. It would be most unfortunate for us to train these future teachers of Czech and then our communities fail to provide teaching positions for them."

University students who participated in the 1973 summer Czech project were: Calvin C. Chervenka, Rogers; Robert J. Holick, Giddings; Bobby J. Horton, Losneta; David W. Mikeska, Rogers; Tom Jurik, Beaumont; James W. Mendl, Jr., El Campo; Bernard T. Orsak, Fayetteville; Margaret A. Polansky, Caldwell; 'Thal:nous T. Polasek, Schulenberg; Linda G.

Wenglar, Victoria, Mr. Chervenka, teaches Czech at Temple junior College; Mr. Mikeska teaches Czech at Rogers and TX; Mr. Wenglar is now teaching Czech at El Campo, having replaced Mr. Mendl who is now working on an advanced degree at Texas University and I understand teaching a course in Czech. The above listed students came from A&I University, Texas University, the University of Houston, Temple Junior College, and Texas A&M University.

Sis. Jeanette Smith, Chairman Co-Cherman — Annie Hanus, Bonnie Pruitt, Secretary Treasurer — Dorothy Jost, Telephone Committee — Chairman Georgia Pavlicek, Assistants -Sophie Leshikar, Lillian Cox, Libbie Parma, Madeline Webb.

Sis. Smith reported on the hiring of bands in 1975; also on the Chestmas party. She thanked Bro. and Sis. Bennie Engelke, who came out, taking down the tree and decorations. Sis. Smith helped also. Sis. Smith had received a receipt and thank you note from the Salvation Army for the money and Christmas stockings donated to them.

We have a very active committee.

Everyone takes a part, whenever we have entertaioment, and sees that it gets done. Sis. Smith is a very capable chairman. She gets things done and discusses problems and projects w:th her committee; thus each one has a chance to give their opinion or present ideas'. Sis. always, does more than her share, working in harmony with her committee workers.

Sis. Smith, has proved, many times, her interest in Benevolence, Humanity and Brotherhood, thus, sharing true Fraternalism with everyone. She is always smiling and friendly, and she has become a good and true, "Czech Sister". It is a pleasure to work with her. By working together in harmony, we can make 1974 be a very prosperous year, but it will take each of us and the membersh'p, to support ths committee, for they canrot do it alone; they need your support, especially at the Saturday night dances, not for just a certain band or when you feel like coming out.

Pres. Hanus noted that we have a good committee, support them, we need your attendance at every dance, whether you like the band or not, we have to have all types of Music, to satisfy everyone, not juot you or I. Th's is your lodge too, you are a member of it,, so let the committee know you are proud to be a member, willing to da your share and support. Your officers and committees are only as good as the support you give them. Think about it.

Sis.. Parma gave the Youth Club report. The collection of paper, cans, aluminum, and glass are going great.

Dear Members: I guess this will be a surprise to see my letter again.

We had our lodge meeting January 14 and we had election of new officers for the year of 1974; elected 'acre: President Dorothy Elsik, Vice President Jessie Parenica, Secretary hcoothy Fuzzell, Financial Secretary Inez Stavarek, Treasurer Millie Stubbs.

Wednesday, January 30, 1974 jo,yed it very much, :in fact, we all enjoyed it. It was always like a hen party after the meeting because there were only women attending the meetings. I know we will have a good secretary. I will see that she will get all the help I can give her. We will meet every second Monday each month at 6:30 p. in. We will meet at Sister Bessie Mikeska's for the time being.

Our lodge regrets to learn that we have lost a member, Brother Ernest Shiller from Corpus Chrisa He passed away Januaity 10 and we received the message one week later.

Our Lodge No. 97 wisilies to express our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family of our departed Brother Shiner.

Since my eyes are not as good as they used to be, I don't read the Vestnik as much as I would like to.

We missed the dis trict tall meeting in East Berl-lard, however, we will try to make the meeting in s2ring.

VtSTNtIC ing the headlines in the news.

Seventy-sciven years ago, a group of our Czech fore-fathers got together in the town of La Grange, 'Texas, and discovered, or rather I should say, organized a new planet, the SPJST star, that has shown over the State of Texas since then and shines even brighter with each passing year. Our insurance department, under the capable guidance of SL Vice President. Brother Joe B. Hejny and assisted by our State Field Manager Brother Silas Smith, is to be congratulated on their accomplishments for the year 1973.

Posadil se do iertos- ky k psacimu stolu, aby si mohl zapisovat poznainky a Irma stala podle neho nachylena k nernu.
