THE `Editor' COMMENTS

--

It is here! The 34th Annual Czech Day at the State Fair of Texas, in Dallas, October. 13th!

The years do come and go rather rapidly and it becomes rather apparent that the older we get the faster each day, month and year passes. Although this seems to be true, the earth revolves at the same speed as when we were young, we are just living at toor fast a pace!

At any rate, we hope the Czech Day is, again a success, as usual, A condensed program of the day's activities is being published in this issue.

Sunday, September 29, we attended the District I meeting at Lodge No. 13, Dime Box. The spirit of the meeting was dampened by the news of the sudden death of the father of District I President Willie Trcalek and District I Sales Representative Ben Trcalek, immediately prior to the meeting.

The Sunday was such a beautiful day that we fear many members went elsewhere to enjoy the sunny day, therefore the attendance was small. However, the business of the district was taken care of and the District I youth also had their meeting. Actually, there were more youth present than us elder members.

We all know Why Christopher Columbus is famous — because he discoveied America. And most of us, if we stop to think, know why he discovered America. It was really an accident, you remember. Columbus didn't expect to discover a new continent. He was looking for a new ship route to the Indies.

An accident, yes, and perhaps we might call it luck. But don't forget this: Columbus would never have discovered America, never even have sailed, if he had not had boundless courage and unhim ted faith in himself.

Other people, the "wise" men of the time, laughed at his idea that

the world was round, but Columbus knew he was right, and refused to let others, talk him out of it. He persisted in the face of the greatest obstacles, even when he had almost reached America, he had to put down a mutiny of his sailors.

That's the real reason why Columbus accomplished something. It wasn't luck. It was just the fact that he refused to be beaten.

• * It is not uncommon nowadays to hear people rejoicing in the fact that they are no longer young.

They feel that tremendous changes are taking place in the world and, try as they may, they cannot discern the shape of things to come.

The familiar grooves in which their life has moved are being plowed up. Ways of thinking and acting, which they cannot understand and of which they disapprove, are doing violence to their settled convictions. They are be wildered; they are frightened; they see nothing ahead but confusion and ruin. Their only consolation seems to be that their life, for the most part, is beyond them, and they will not be around when the deluge comes.

Naturally, such folks feel very sorry for young people. They pity boys and girls of today, who as far as our gloomy friends can see, will never enjoy the comfort and security they have known. What is ahead for youth, they ask, but uncertainty and danger and turmoil and strife? They are so very glad they are no longer young, and so sorry for so many others who are Today no man can afford to be mediocre. All have the absolute duty to become aware that they have a mission to fulfill, the mis sion to become still better than before, to do the seemingly impossible, in order, each in his own circle, to ease the lot of mankind.

After the corruption displayed in government circles, and the pretsent state of recession and high prices, it becomes the devout duty of EVERY citizen — young to elderly -- to take a personal interest in government, politics and the affairs of our country, especially realizing how close we are to losing so many of our declared liberties.

Do it now! Take a part in your community's and your country's affairs!

Parents and children — Perhaps democracy is being forced upon children when they are too young.

To saddle a child or adolescent with freedom beyond his demonstrated capability of judgment is not fair, even though it is done under some high-sounding name.

The privilege of developing children little by little up to the point where they can cope with the bewildering world into which they have been launched is the reward and crown of parenthood. It is popular to blame influences outside the home when a boy goes wrong, or to rail against television, radio, newspapers and magazines. But all these enter as al second influence, and if the first — the ingraining of a sense of decency by parents — has been effectively done, then all these lose their power to debase.

NEWSBRIEFS District III Director Brother Sid Pokladnik was elected as one of three new directors to serve a 3year term on the Executive Committee of the National Fraternal Congress in their recent convention in Las Vegas. He was also elevated to the position of vice president of the Fraternal Section of the NFC. 4:

LODGE NO. '74, LOVELADY Dear Members and Friends: This fire in the fireplace really feels good, so I thought of writing and speaking for all members we really regretted President Brother R. J. Rainer having an accident, and cutting his hand and one finger nearly off; fortunately, he is not losing it. Only a few days after the accident, he was out of the hospital attending the Saturday night dance, smiling and showing he could move all fingers. All of us wish him a speedy recovery; knowing it is not easy to be unable to work when a person is so accustomed to living a very active and useful life. I am sorry we did not have a chance to visit him in the hospital, but our thoughts were sincere and with him and we are so glad to see him at the lodge so soon after his accident.

The dances every Saturday night are so enjoyed by all, especially the good music. The Vrazel Polka Band was great, also the Serenaders, and this coming Saturday

Ted Hardin and the New Sounds.

If the weather is nice, he will be enjoyed by a filled house again at Lodge 74. Thank goodness we have the good space of three acres of parking and no danger of getting stuck. All smiling people are always so welcome. I am sure no one conies with a grudge or hate because there is no room for that here at Lodge 74. We want the same reputation -- only happy, smiling people. The nice crowd comes and no need for being uneasy among good-natured friends, you all come and have good clean fun, we all need that exercise and refreshments. Bye! Slivena Michka LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON The regular monthly meeting of Lodge No. 88, Houston, will be held Monday, October 14th, at 7:30 p.m.

At Table 39 we had the handsome Marine, Larry Meaux, on leave from Japan where he is startioned and his 30 days are running out and he will have to return to his duties. Then there was Bubba Akins, from Fort Benning, Ga., where he is attending the parachute jump school. Wishing bath of you a good time while you are on leave.

The English play, "Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb," presented on Sunday, September 29th, was well performed and all the participating actors and directors deserve our gratitude for giving us a wonderful and enjoyable afternoon. We, the audience, enjoyed the two hours of a finished production that took hours of personal sacrifice by each of the participants and hoping that they would be rewarded by your presence at the performance. The performance should have been attended by more, but, of course, Sunday's ideal weather probably lured many people out to the open spaces and the activities around Houston were numerous.

We thank everyone for coming out and telling your friends about the talented actors we have and bring them with you the next time we present a play, which will be in the Czech language. The re-

The response to the welcome was given by Brother Jerry Manak, president of Lodge 84. hearsals are in progress and I will keep you posted on the opening date.

To my surprise I was confronted by a nice couple and to my embarrassment I could not retail their names. Of course, it had been many years since we saw each other — it was in 1944 that I had the pleasure of securing Edward Bolick as al member of our SPJST, while he was a member of the Houston police force. In 1946 they moved to Weimar, close to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Krejci's farm which was also the home of our past lodge president, Tillie Helm)camp and Viola Cox. Edward and Pearl, his wife, still live at the same place.

All three of us realized that time does not stand still and we have changed. It was a pleasure reminiscing for quite while. Edward's wife, Pearl, is a cousin of air ever-happy and smiling Annie Green. Pearl asked me to remember her to you as they could not stay for the play on account of other obligations, but they enjoyed our good dinner.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Sister Esther Holton from California, who was visiting her parents, Brother Louis and Sister Albina Kusy. Last time I reported that Albina was admitted to the Spring Branch Hospital for surgery. Esther told me the operation was successful and all will be well

Wednesday, October 9, 1974 and we wish you a speedy recovery, Mrs. Kusy. Daughter Esther, and granddaughter will stay in Texas indefinitely; both of them enjoyed the play.

Sister Mickey Rice's mother, Mrs. Roy Bucek, from Schulenburg, will enter St. Luke Hospital here in Houston Monday for surgery. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

It always is nice to see our sent or members at our special affairs.

Sister Vlasta Stasta, an ardent visitor to all our plays and festivities, just came back iioin one week's trip to visit friends in Oklahoma; she was accompanied by her daughter, Lillian, and husband, Oscar Orth, leaving Sister Vlasta at her friends' while they continued on their journey to Memphis, Tennessee, and on their way back, they picked up Vlasta. She had a wonderful time and enjoyed the trip very much.

A lovely silver anniversary was celebrated by Harley and Viola Cox. They were honored with a buffet supper in their home by their daughter, Bonnie, and son-in-law, John Somyak, and son, Donald Cox and friend, Janan Johnson.

Relatives and neighbors made this celebration a memorable event.

Harley is past chairman of the Entertainment Committee and is now one the Board of Trustees. Viola serves as auditor for the lodge and, in private life, is employed as a full-charge bookkeeper. Daughter Bonnie, in 1968, held the title of SPJST State Queen and now is employed by the Engineering Technology Analysts, Inc, as director of communication. Son, Donald, is attending Sam Houston State University and is in his last year, majoring in accounting. Many happy years are extended to you Harley, and Viola.

While in Las Vegas, I received the sad news that our lodge brother, Weldon Hendrick, suddenly passed away. Brother Weldon served on the Board of Trustees and was liked by everyone. He was always pleasant and smiling. It was quite a shock to all of us and, for a while, it was hard to realize what had really happened. Weldon will be missed by many. Surviving him are his dear wife, Lydia; daughter, Carmen; and two sons, Weldon Lynn, and Randall Jr. We extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved family of our depart-

The two lunches with interesting speakers and sessions that I attended, were informative.

Crisco and sugar, add eggs and mix well. Add oatmeal and flour mixture and blend together. Mix in coconut and pecans. Place on a cookie sheet and bake 10 or 15 minutes at 375 degrees.

If any of you try this recipe, I hope you enjoy the results but I do want to get one thing straight.

I am not the family cook and I do not intend to become a cook. I simply like to do these things for my own enjoyment as a hobby.

Fraternally yours, Alvin Nesuda - SPJST(Editor's Note: Monday, September 30, we received the following letter forwarded from the Supreme Lodge and are printing it for our readers' information).

Serving the delicious meal are: Mrs. Ed Zemeritanzel, Mrs. Della Kalina, Mrs. Minnie Meduna, Mrs. Edith Curry, Mrs. John Stolle, and Mrs. Agnes Susen.

A RECIPE FROM A DISTRICT SALES REPRESENTATIVE This past weekend it was my pleasure to attend the State Training Class for youth leaders and counselors held at Cleburne State Park. The only thing I regret is that all of the youth leaders did not attend.

Before we left home Friday evening I took time to whip-up a batch of cookies that I have seen known do on various occasions. I took them along and received many compliments on them. One lady remarked that they "almost taste like home-made." I am still wondering whether that was intended for a compliment or not.

Several ladies asked me ,for the recipe and I wrote it out from memory and as usual, that was not altogether right, so I would like to give it here so they can correct the recipe taken down.

YOUTH SECTION

A Special Youth Feature

From The Lodge Youth Leaders LODGE NO. 172, PASADENA Dear Readers: STATE YOUTH LEADERS SEMINAR, 1974 One dark and, windy night was when it all began.

To Cleburne State Park Lodge youth leaders ran.

SYD Dorothy Massey, God bless her, was there to welcome us.

With the DYO's on hand to help The schedule made, no muss or fuss.

We had an informative session with that great guy Tom Anderson.

He taught us about recreation and leadership at that park under our God's sun.

He taught us new games and skits and such.

From that good fellow we all learned very much.

Mother Nature herself was there, at least one of her best helpers: That loveable lady Edith White, who knows everything from Oaks to Bell Peppers.

She could name every tree, bush and flower in the park.

We hunted fossils and rocks and played games like a lark.

The food was delicious, I ate and ate 'til I could eat no more.

To those three gals in the kitchen the great cooks must give them the floor.

We had good discussions among the youth leaders there.

About things we did wrong, what, when and where.

I could go on and on about what a good time was had.

We should have more seminars and make it an SPJST fad.

So I say to all leaders get behind Dorothy Massey.

For all who know her she is one fine lassie.

State King and Queen 1974-75 -- Jo Beth Hornung and Scott Miff, bol of Lodge 117, Robstown, District VII. HOW I CAN BECOME A. BETTER CITIZEN OF AMERICA

By Jo Beth Hornung (SPJST LODGE NO. 117, Dist. VII) (Delivered at State Royalty, on September 8th, 1974) "If the world seems cold to you, kindle a fire to warm it!" Yes, there is a world of truth in this quotation. Each of us can help make this world a better place.

Through the youth club we find our purpose in life and become better citizens of America. By being a member of the SPJST I'll meet new friends and learn more about my community. Because of this, I feel the youth club has taught me a great deal.

First of all, it has taught me to think of others as well as myself.

This is important to me as a citizen" of America, because people who put themselves before others get nowhere in life. Also, it has helped me to cope with problems I have encountered. This is why I must strive to do my best as a citizen of America and a member of the SPJST. Secondly, it has given me an opportunity to function as an officer. This too is important as it will help me became a better leader in my community in the years to come. By holding an office in the youth club, I feel it is an honor and privilege as it provides me

14 with a chance to learn.

Third, as the SPJST has set an example for me, so must I set an example for others. This too is important to me as a citizen of America, because today young people must be able to cope with such problems as drugs, racial conflicts, and pressure from their peers to be part of the in group."

In the years to come as I look back, I will always remember the SPJST and all that it has done for me. I feel that everyone should have a chance to become a member of this worthwhile organization. I know that I'm speaking for many people when I say the SPJST is a great experience for youth of ALL ages. By being a member of the youth club, I feel that I will be better equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow and become a better citizen of America.

So remember: "If the world seems cold to you, kindle a fire to warm it!"

WHAT FRATERNALISM MEANS TO ME

By Scott Miff (SPJST Lodge No 117, Dist VII) (Delivered at State Royalty on September 8th, 1974) Funk and Wagnall's dictionary defines "fraternalism" as a word "pertaining to brotherhood or brotherly love." The SPJST, through the years, has made a point of promoting both fraternalism and brotherly love. In America today, the art of helping your neighbor when your neighbor needs help seems to be a dying one, but the SPJST is still carrying on its fraternal principles.

Helping one another often makes for better organization of activities.

Summer Camps, Youth Achievement Days, and individual youth club activities are good examples of this type of organization. Take for instance our summer camp this year -- it was a success because of organization; a type of organization that comes about only when someone puts out the effort to make the next guy feel a little more comfortable. This is what fraternalism is all about.

The way I feel the SPJST shows fraternalism best is by opening its doors to people of all ethnic and racial backgrounds.

Starting as a basically Czech organization, the SPJST now has In

VtSTN lc

its membership, people of German, Polish, Scotch, Irish, English, and Mexican-American descent.

If someone were to ask me, "What does fraternalism mean to you?" I would have to refer them to the Golden Rule — "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," But in thinking of the Golden Rule and fraternalism, I also have to think of the SPJST because they all go hand in hand.

This is why I am proud to be a member of the SPJST and hope to be one for many years to come.

Thank you.

On September 22nd we went to Six Flags in Arlington. We left at 9:30 a.m. Sunday morning and stayed until 7:30 p.m. Sunday night. We all enjoyed ourselves very much and hope to go again next year.

Our next meeting will be held on Sunday afternoon, October 13th, at 2 p.m. I hope to see you all there.

TRAVELOG OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA & EUROPE Sitting on the patio this morning, it was easy to have long, long thoughts of my recent return on July 4th from a Czechoslovakian and European vacation with my husband and our Klub Kontinental group, which we Ied as tour directors. To have been to Zurich, Lu-

Wednesday, October 9, 1974 cerne, Munich, Karlovy Vary, Prague, Brno, Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg, Rothenburg, Luxembourg City, and Brussels is so remotely removed from my cozy home and city, I ponder those wonderful reminisces as I water my flowers.

Anything is possible in this jet age!

As I attended church services the Sunday following my return, and to hear "America the Beautiful" and "America" sung was another significance, which made me realize the meaning of these two songs, after having spent 14 days in Czechoslovakia in the Moravia area with relatives and friends.

These two thoughts have dwelled in my mind so deeply, since we arrived on Independence Day and the songs, how did our grandparents feel that day when they arrived on United States soil. It must have been a glorious day for them.

And to have had the courage and vision to come to the shores of America; and the sufferings and tribulations of them, who conquered the wilderness; and the stamina of hard work to establish their identity and above all the language problem.

Each day of the 27 days in Europe was a varied, excitable day for me. As we landed in Zurich, we were met by our motorcoach and transferred to Lucerne, about a two-hour drive, and settled in our hotel overlooking Lake Lucerne with the beautiful snow-capped Alps in the background. Our hotel was in the deluxe category and is a training school for hotel management, therefore we had superb service and food. Montana Hotel is so well-known and established in the trade, an apprentice has to usually have two years waiting period before entering. The hotel had its own cogwheel train to take guests to and from the street below. We shopped for the famous Swiss jewelry and enjoyed a half day tour to Mt. Pilatus, 7,000 ft. high, which could be seen from our hotel veranda. First we went by aerial cablecar and reached the half-way route, transferred to a larger cablecar to reach the summit of Mt. Pilatus. Enroute it started to snow and very heavily by the time we reached the summit, so that the panoramic view of the Swiss Alps was marred. The cup of hot tea warmed us as we sat in front of the fireplace in the hotel

V t STNIK

restaurant. Downward, we took the world's steepest cog railway, and then transferred to a Swiss electric train to the city. The vegetation was so sparse •going down from the summit, since it was very high, but slowly, as we descended, we could see a few spring flowers and crocus peeping from the rocky crevices, but shortly the scenery grew greener, and the goats and Swiss cows with their large bells around their necks were seen grazing. This was indeed an enjoyable tour.

That evening we took the "Night Boat" cruise of several hours' duration on Lake Lucerne, admiring 'the lighted city as we cruised by and enjoyed the folk music' and dancing, while eating the famous Swiss cheese fondue. As the boat docked on the other end of Lake Lucerne to return to Lucerne, the Alpine horn blower came on deck to demonstrate the echo resounding against the mountain. And it really did!

From Lucerne we drove by motorcoach to Munich, the capitol of Bavaria, with the Bavarian Alps, its wonderful lakes, delightful valleys and castles. As our hotel was located in the city center, we were in walking distance of the Hofbrauhaus, the famous beer •garden known all over the world. We enjoyed a Bavarian Folklore evening at the Plazl, while feasting on a four-course dinner and listening to the good German brass music and folk dances and yodelling. We toured the city seeing the New Town Hall with its famed Glockenspiel, the Frauenkrche Cathedral, the 1973 Olympic grounds and the famous summer residence. Nympenburg Castle and grounds of they ruler of Bavaria, a short distance on the outskirts of Munich. Going shopping for German sausage and dark course bread for lunch was fun, which everyone should not miss doing. The variety was so great that we came out carrying a feast of goodies.

Our arrival into Czechoslovakia was a solemn one, as it is quite different passing through their "corder than in the other countries.

At the border the bus stopped and your passport and visa are picked up and checked by the Czech officials. We waited for some time, and were given clearence to proceed, as all was in order, and we made 1VIarinske Lazne for the

10

night. It was a rainy cold arrival — about 35 degrees. We settled in our hotel, and that evening we were feasted to a baked duckling dinner and strawberry dumplings (kledniky) for dessert. Despite the inclement weather, Rudy and I ventured to a. cozy night club, "Lil," across the street from our hotel—a nice climb up the hillside.

The musicians were playing many favorites for dinner and dancing, and when they found out Americans were in the audience, they strolled over to serenade us with some beautiful songs, such as "Humoresque," "Somewhere - My Love," "San Francisco," etc. The Czechs are known for their repertOire of music and songs, and what a beautiful beginning of our holiday in Czechoslovakia.

Many of the tour group have strong ties with this land of Czechoslovakia, all have dreamed of visiting and seeing the land of their ancestry, as some were born there and left at an early age, or their parents or grandparents migrated to America, and are it second or third and even fourth generation of American Czechs.

Even if you do not speak Czech, your understanding of the people is no problem, as they are warm, hospitable, loving people and hard working.

The real attraction to me and others to Czechoslovakia is to see for ourselves the country's beauty and current curiosity about the conditions there. Since Czechoslovakia is closely tied to the Eastern bloc, its history, traditions, culture and language prevail despite the obstacles during the tragic past. But, one thing that is outstanding is the people's Western outlook. The young people are crazy about Western jazz, ri,e4 films, recordings and jeans. To have a pair of blue• jeans you are in high cotton. You will find the Czechs easy to tack to (as many understand and speak English) and you will be impressed by their simplicity and good naturedn It takes awhile to understand them and the best place to know them is to be in their home, or meet the people in the taverns (pivmice) as there is one in every village, and especially Prague, which has many well-known ones such as U Fleku and U Tomase.

From Marianske Lame we tour-

20 ed Karlovy Vary, the world-known spa for a half day and had lunch there and visited the Moser crystal showroom. Before arriving in Prague we drove to Lidice (the village that sprang into world prominence on the night of June 9, 1942) for a quick survey. Lidice was wiped from the face of the earth in reprisal by the Nazis after the assissination of Reinhard Heydrich.

After the war, Lidice was rebuilt by contributions from all over the world and a Lidice memorial and museum and a rose garden were constructed to commemmorate the tragedy.

Then there was Prague on the horizon, with traces of smog, but truly a beautiful city — more beautiful than Venice or Vienna, Time has really stood still in the silent cobbled streets with their old palaces, taverns, museums and churches. We toured the city seeing the most outstanding landmarks, the Hradcany Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, Charles Bridge, Strahov Monastery Library, National Museum on Wenceslaus Square and below the statue of St. Wenceslaus, the National Museum, which is being repaired this year, and the Old Town with the astronomical clock in the Old Town Hall. Prague is in the midst of building a metro system and the streets are dug up in parts of the city.

Prague has al musical and cultural tradition that equals New' York, it overflows with opera, concerts, stage plays and marionette performances. On a previous visit I had the opportunity to attend the Smetana opera, "Bartered Bride". Other opera classics by Dvorak and Janacek are worth seeing. Prague boasts three opera houses, four symphony orchestras, about 15 theatres with a yearround season, and since 1974 has been designated as the "Year of Czech Music," I can truly say we heard Czech music wherever we were and went in Czechoslovakia.

Yes, Prague is beautiful, but it isn't Czechoslovakia, just as New York or Houston are not America.

You have to go out into the countryside, where life hasn't changed as much as in the cities.

Before leaving Prague, a day was spent in Kolin, which is an hour's drive, attending the Kmoch Music Festival, which attracts about 1,-

VbSTNfK

Wednesday, October 9, 19/4

000 participating musicians of brass bands from Czechoslovakia and surrounding countries. The opening ceremony was a big spectacular held on the city's main square with hundreds of people lined along the streets and on the square to watch and listen to the marching bands gathering in the square. The procession of the various bands in their costumes was very colorful and interesting as I have not seen that many Czechs enjoying themselves, as we did, while playing Kmoch's favorites and especially "Koline, Koline." Preceding the parade we had lunch in a quaint restaurant off the square, which is run by a family and is very intimate and cozy among the antiques for a relaxing dinner, served in the traditional Czech manner. As music is practically a way of life in Czechoslovakia, this day spent in Kolin will hold memories for me and the group. After the program on the square ended in Kolin, we met our Texas friend Prof. Joseph Skrivanek of Texas A&M University, with his students, who were attending the Czech summer courses at Charles University in Prague. Also with them was their jovial host Dr. Vacla y Hunacek of Charles University, whom I met in Texas when he was visiting and working with the Texas Education Agency. Since our motorcoach was going into Prague for the night, we invited Mr. Skrivanek and Dr. Hunacek and the students to share our coach. It was nice meeting Texans in Czechoslovakia.

On Sunday, it being Corpus Christi Sunday, I had the pleasure, in Prague, to attend services at St. Vitus with a high mass and organ music and singing by a professional group. But, the most impressive was the mass performed at the Baroque Church of St. Jacob, with a full orchestra and singers to a packed congregation. An unforgettable musical experience in this gilded setting, as music is the breath of life in Prague, no matter where you go.

Departing Prague we journeyed Kutna Hora to survey St. Barbara's Cathedral, which dominates the town. This church reminded me of Notre Dame Cathedral with its buttresses, but on a smaller scale. Since Kutra Hora was the hub of silver mining in the

13th century, this cathedral was built to commemorate the patron saint of miners, St. Barbara.

When we arrived in Brno, the second largest city in Czechoslovakia, that afternoon we were in Moravia. My first impression of Brno was that it is a bevy of chimneys and industrial plants, but on Petrov Hill the two towers of Peter and Paul Cathedral and the Spilberk Castle can be seen from a distance, too. Our hotel overlooked the Spilberk Castle, and was a short walking distance to Freedom Square and the cabbage market, with its stalls of vegetables and flowers. After a two-day stay in Brno, we proceeded to Frenstat, in the Hana region. Enroute from Brno shortly we could see the famous battlefield of Slakov "Austerlitz," where, in 1805, Napoleon won his victory over Austrian and Russian forces, called the Battle of the Three Emperors.

As we arrived at our hotel in the Beskyd Mountains, in the heart of the Hana region, we were met by friends and relatives welcoming us to Ozechoslovakia. The group enjoyed a day spent touring the countryside visiting a collective farm and visiting the open-air Wallachian Museum in Roznov pod. Radhostem is a village typical of the Wallachian area of dark wooden buildings. That evening the group enjoyed one of the best evenings in Ozechoslovakia, at the Valasska Koliba restaurant in Frenstat pod Ra,dhostem. It is a Wallachian herdsman's cottage restaurant situated in the forest, a short distance from the Vlcina Hotel. The air was crisp and the fireplace took the chill off. The musicians dressed in their folk costumes, serenaded us throughout the evening, as we drank the Moravian wines and ate the charcoaled chicken which was prepared on the fireplace grill in front of our table. The cottage resounded with classical numbers and Valasske favorites with the audience joining in song throughout the evening.

Since we had to walk back to our motorcoach down the mountain side we merrily left and bid the musicians and restaurant staff a goodnight, 'til we meet again. It was a wonderful evening spent in the Besdycl Mountains, in the heart of the Hana region.

v Ucme se cesky Let Us Study Czech Lekce osmadvacata — Lesson 28 The Adverb — PHsMime Adverbs express quantitative, qualitative, relational, or circumstantial determinations, such as no tions of place time, manner, cause, result, or purpose.

Some adverbs are used to modify the sentence as a whole and not any certain word, like . snarl — perhaps; mien( — of course.

Adverbs are simply, relative ('connective") or interrogative.

They are derived from other parts of speech — nouns, adjectives, pronouns, or verbs. Examples: veselSr (merry) -- vesele (merrily) dlouh31. — dlouho (for a long time) eesky — eesky; anglicky — anglicky kdo (who) kde — where, zde (here), wade (everywhere) — PLACE kdy (when). tehdy (at that time),

VES TN f K vidy always — TIME jak (how) tak (so), nejak (somehow), nijak (in no way) — MANNER Compound adverbs are adverbs formed by combining a preposition with a declinable word in its particular case. Example: docela (completely) — do plus celo (a whole) potorn (afterwards) — po plus torn (loc of to) • • An adverbs stands in the same relation to a verb as an adjective to a noun: Miij otec veera prijci do Chicaga veere161 piljezd meho otce do Chicaga • Here are some adverbs derived from adjectves: rychlS, (quick) — rychle (quickly) teplY (warm) -- teple (warmly) krfisnk (beautiful) — krasne (beautifully) dobrS7 (good) -- dob •e (in a good way) mekitS, (soft) — mace (softly) chudj7 (poor) -- chude (poorly) bohate (richly) bohaty (rich) drahSi (dear) — draze (dearly) hloupy (silly) — hloupe (stupidly) hravY (playful) — hrave (playfully) Neuter nouns are sometimes used, in the function of adverbs, as pre dicatives.

Example: Je teplo, chladno, sucho, draho, etc.

There is often a semantic difference in the suffixes — E and — 0: Ptak Teti vysoko, nizko.

Dnes je teplo.

Dnes je chladno.

To je vysoce zajimave.

Ten elovek smNi nizce.

Jsem teple obleeen.

Peijal ho chladne, • Suffixes — sky and cky (form the same adjective endings).

Mluviti eesky, polsky, nemecky, anglicky, einsky atd.

A word about the suffixes ej6i and eji (eji) The suffix — ej6i a ej61 are ADJECTIVE endings: rychlej61. pravidelnej6i, zdrevejFor adjectives ending in — e10, oIrS, , these endings are drop ped and — si is added to the stem,

26 so that s and z becomes and i; so: 6irokY iirki blizkt — and the suffix ei is added in a small group of adjectives so? leh-kY — lehei diim doma (at home). domir (home) diil — dole, dolir (downstairs) hezky — hezei m'e'kei 4,

•

The suffix eji and eji are the AD VERB endings: rychle ji pravidelneji zdraveji leheeji hezeeji mekeeji Notice that there is an element of ACTION. or DOING in the above words.

The superlative degree is formed by the prefix nej — Example: nejkrasnejii, nejlehei, nejkrasnejii, etc.

Mel kolem hiavy uvaza.njr eervenY gatek; tenka ba ylnena po krjvka, pestrych barev jako kartoun, pokrYvala jeho ramena a jeho dlouhe nohy klatily se pod timeny. DruhY Indian byl hock asi destnactiletY a pohled na neho byl Mariane ptijeinnk, Jeho ebenove carne vlasy vlaly po vetru; jeho tma va, hneda tvat byla okrouhla a hezka; mei oei 'Carrie tak jako vlasy, a to vge, spolu s usmivajicfmi se rty, !dere odhalovaly jeho bile, rovne zu by, einilo z neho hezkeho mladika.

Mariana si uminila, ce si bude vAirnati v'Seho. Ale jit pouhy pohled na, tyto barvite odene Indiany a na poskakujici soumary poutal ji tak, ze zapominala na, vSechno ostatni.

Citila studene vanuti vetru, citila prach, jela poliodlne bete vsi nama hy. Potom mustangove i soumati y ptedu nahle zmizeli. Cesta vedla pa pkikrern svahu doll.. Po chvili Mariana dospela k tomu svahu. tasla spattivSi pied -sebou hlubokou rudou rokli s rozpadavajicimi se se namii a kali-IS?, hludrie tekeuel potok. Soumati i mustangove kradeli krok za krokem po svahu doll ke biehu vody. Indian! vjeli prudce do vody ad bahno a voda stfikali, Kfi cell na souniary. Mariana citila, jak j na mrazi a srdce ji nezvykle bije. Jeji kill ziejme si delal tak mak) z ptikrjrch svahti, jakc z rovne cesty. Pustil se ptimo doll. Mariana melt co delati; aby se na nem udr&la, A aekoli se nedivala piano na soumary, ptec pozorovala, ie jejich nohy jsou nahle jaksi kratยงi SlyS'ela take nejakjr hluk za sebou.

"To je kyprk pisek," volal Withers shora. "Je bezpeenjr, ale musite Buckskina popohnat.'

Mariana nemela ani emu, aby se k neeemu rozhodla. Buckskin se sesunul se btehu a zaboIll se do pfsku.

ye stfedu ',Nina 1974

Mariiana pocitila svaj prvni strach.

Citila, jak se jeho jedna noha hluboko zabofila, a pak jinn a zase jina. Ale postupoval stale kupfedu.

Nenechal tam nikdy ani dye nohy soudasne zabcfene. Rozbehnuv se hned od zadatku pfebrodil rychie bahnitk proud a vystoupil po ptikre pisdite stezce na breh. Tu teprve Mariana nalezla noha.ma ttmen a nabyla aspon zdani klidu, net k ni dojel Withers.

"Jak se vain zamlouvi Buckskin?" tazal se. Nezminil se ani slovem o tomto hroznem mists! ire 2e se mi libi hope, odpovedela.

"To jsem take dekal. Je to mimochodnik. Na nem rnatete jeti veude tam, kde byste s jineho kone spadla, Jen ho nechte klidne jit. On zna cestu a bude se drtet. Ale bojim se, ze nas pfepadnou prudke zavany vetru."

Withers vyjel kuptedu k soumaram a pobidl je k ryehlejaimu kroku. Indiani se pachtili pied nimi.

Mariana byla poneehana svemu koni, cede a okolnimu kraji. Pied tydily se hole vrchy ze Iluteho kamene vysoko na zataeenem nebi. Vzadu za rokli zela ยงiroka pouSt` a rovna hneda pada zvedala do 0Se k nepravidelne stene ploche vysodiny, Berne proti obloze se jevici.

"Tohle veeeko snad ani neni pravda," pravila Mariana k sob& Ne byla by manila sve misto se tadnSfm na wets. Mohla se oddati some svYrn eitam.

Cesta vedla presmyku mezi skalnatkmi vrehy. Po obou stranich stoupala tikraa plocha a postupne se zvedala do velke vSree. V ja.mitich a koutech rostly tu zakrsle cedry, jiieht koteny enely z pevne skaly.

Zde vitr neval, cot ji bylo pfijemnou alevou. Buckskin kraeel tak rychie, ze videla stale ony kone Pted sebou. Na skalnatkeh eastech cesty byly jeho nohy tak jiste, jako dfive v piaku. /viariana podinala poznavati prod ji ho Withers vybral.

Svahy se pomalu k sobs blitily, byly vyatf a cesta vedla do vrchu. Mariana nevidela daleko pfed sebe. Bylo if ted' piljemne teplo. Snad asi po pal hodine pozvoineho stoupani octla se na vrcholu hfbetu, s nehot pak brzy videla do dalky. Jak krasnk pohled ji tam uvital! Withers tam na ni dekal, patrne ptedvidaje jeji pote geni nad krasnor krajinou,

Wednesday, October 9, 1974 "Veda jseru, ze se yam bude libiti techto deset mil testy," pravil. "Ta velica, 'demi skala, vyenivajici ze stepi, se jmenuje `Ka,pitin . A teto ostre skale, kterou viditet. tika.ji Indiani 'Stihla, skala do vSiat.

Je civakrat tak vysoka, jako via Washingtonty pomnik."

Diouha, airoka a zelena byla prov pouati, ktera vedla k onem enejleim skalain, osarneUni a v clan jako nejake hlidky vyhlriejicim.

Deset mil! Zdalo se, ze to nevi ant ttetina teto vzdalenosti. Avaak Mariana jeciouci stale kupiedu poznala, jak klamive je toto zciani vzclalenos ti. Po celou hodinu tyto pomniky pouate nezmenily tvaru, velikosti, ani barvy. Teprve za druhou hodinu vjela Mariana mezi ne a pohlieela na ne s fir7.asern, divila se derne htloy e nadhete Kapitana. Stihle skaly byl ptednimi stra&mi briny pouate, ktera byla nad IVIarianion poeho peni. Mohia se jen, divati, vyptavati se Witherse a jeti kuptedu a teprvc pozvolna, za cele hodiny, poznivala klamivost vzdalenosti, nod, heru barvy, fantastickou a yzneae nou ualechtilost onech skalnich vartt.

Toto je tedy domov IndiOmit? Co vedy bill lide o povaze, divokosti a osamelosti tohn, co vytvotilo tyto deti pouate? Co asi sidli v mysli kmene, kterY ille v teto oderovane zemi?

Potom asi uprostted relp'olecine ptialo to, CIeho se Withers obaval a co ptedpovidal. "Plseona boute," fekl. "Ale nehude zla. Nebude tryst diouho. Vezniete si see brejle a ptevaMe si tsta arias aatkem."

Od zapadu ptihnal se MutY oblak, Slunce barvy nachove, temne: a Of aerne, svitilo touto stenou prachu.
