FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK The District III TAD at Lodge No. 84, Dallas, was well attended and many lodges and youth club members attended and came away with prizes. The prizes were fairly well distributed and the competition in talent and royalty was rather keen. The youth who participated displayed real fraternal fellowship and sportsmanship; more power to them! I am sure that DYC Ed Kamas will have a complete report for your information shortly. The day was rather sultry, however, a good attendance proved that our members DO care about our youth activities.

Lodge No. 35, Elk, again attended in force, having chartered a bus, and it was loaded with people from that area of the district.

Lodges 6, Cottonwood; 35, Elk; 66, Waco; and others in District III always seem to be present to strongly support their youth. The entries in all categories seem to get better each year. There will be tough competition at state, this year! * * This editorial business, especially in a fraternal society, sometimes becomes somewhat confusing. A person would think that our membership would be interested in what is going on in our Society, however, in many cases, that does not seem to be the case; for instance, at the District III YAD at Lodge No. 84. Dallas, this editor

A TRUE FRA'rERNALIST IF If you, your lips would keep from slips, Five things observe with care; Of whom you speak, to whom you speak And how and when and where.

If you, your ears would have from jeers, These things keep meekly hid; Myself and I, and mine and my, And how I do and did.

Five most important words I am proud of you.

Four most important words What is your opinion?

Three most important words If you please.

Two most important words Thank you.

The least important word I. was asked this question by two members: "Rudy, what's going on In the SPJST these days?"

Our reply to their question was in the form of another question: Don't you read the Vestnik? We feel that our membership should read the Excerpts of the minutes, the financial secretary's report, the insurance report and the legal adviser's report in the last two issues. Both admitted they hadn't

looked at the Vestnik very careful-

ly for the last month or so. On the other hand, there are numerous members who anxiously wait for the Vestnik to arrive and if it does not do so, they immediately report the fact. * * At any rate, please read this carefully — due to the July 4th holiday and the Post Office being closed on that date (Tuesday, July 4th) which is the day the issue of the Vestnik is picked up here in West, your Vestnik may have reached you a day or two late. It was printed and dispatched as usual, however, it probably was not distributed as usual; there is little we can do about the delivery of same. We are sure you understand. * * This will interest most of our readers, we are sure. We have heard so much about the friendly people of Slavic descent, especially those in Czechoslovakia; well this came to be true Saturday, June 24th when the entire cast of the puppet theatre DR,AK stopped by the printshop and Vestnik Office about 12:30 p.m. We met all of them and, while they went to eat, yours truly and Brother David Kolar went to tape the AmericanCzech Hour for Sunday, June 25th.

Now, this is what happened in the friendly little city of West — Brother George Smajstrla found out that they were in West (he had

visited Czechoslovakia during WW

II) and he invited them to his home for a little while, and we asked them to sing a Czech song for the radio program. They truly enjoyed their stay in West and are taking back many souvenirs from West business places plus remembrances from the SPJST and food furnished by your editor's office.

The Wendell Montgomerys also extended warm hospitality and provided the cast with their delicious kolache and kava (coffee.).

We know they will feel that they were at home here.

Saturday night, June 24th, we attended the performance of "Sleeping Beauty" at the 'Temple CAC and it was worth the trip.

They were honestly admirable. We were glad to see Brother and Sister Jerry Valchar, president of RVOS, attend and Brother and Sister Zavodny from SPJST Lodge No. 47, Seaton, there also. The members of the cast were glad to meet them.

Quite a number of people from West were there Saturday night: the George Smajstrlas, Dr. and Mrs. Mellgren, Freddie and Mrs. Gerik, etc. This is what makes the group enthusiastic.

Some of our members who are to lbe really appreciated are the ones who furnish lodging and/or transportation for members of the troupe, namely: Brother and Sister Calvin Chervenka, Brother and Sister Bob Zvolanek and others we do not know of. The group requested your editor to convey their thanks to all of you. They said that they will never forget West and Texas!

It is regrettable that the attendance Saturday, June 24th was rather meager, however, we understand that there was a better attendance Sunday, June 25th. * * We have now entered our 82nd year of existence as a fraternal benefit insurance society, having been organized July 1, 1897. Eightyone years have passed since the founding of the SPJST Society. It was in La Grange, Texas, that an organization for mutual assistance of its members and their families in times of sickness and death was instituted. It was then that the founders of our Society constructively planned and began building the institution and started a fraternal benefit system which today serves so completely the home and

Wednesday, July 5, 1978 family interests.

Those were pioneer days on this continent. In the West still were heard the pounding hoofs of the oxen drawing the wagon trains; the teeming cities of the plains and the mighty granaries were still far distant — life insurance was in its infancy; it general application and social importance was only beginning to be realized.

As we enter this anniversary month of July, we are reminded that our Society has indeed an enviable record of service.

Time, practices and procedures change as the years go by, but the fundamentals of human nature do not change. The basic principles of the SPJST — Benevolence, Humanity, and Brotherhood — on which our organization was founded, are still as close to the people's hearts — the hearts of its members — as they were 81 years ago.

Reminiscing on the lessons of the past, we advance toward the future with great hope, faith and vision.

On this anniversary, let our local communities know about the fine fraternal benefits and life insurance services of the SPJST at various affairs by reviewing the progress of the Society since 1897.

Our office has been informed

that in the current "Calendar of Events" published annually, July 11th is listed as National Czech Day, with a footnote stating that it is a day when all citizens of Czechoslovak descent are honored.

This is the first time we have heard of this and will check into it more carefully.

Greetings were sent to the editor's office from Brother Alden Smith of Abbott, member of Lodge 54, West, who is touring Czechoslovakia, mainly in Prague and parts of Moravia and the Stragnice festival. A safe voyage is wished him. * A colorful card of the Cypress Gardens (known as the Gardens of the World) in Florida, was received from Brother Frank and Sister Elenore Spanhel of Lodge 47, Seaton, who are enjoying a vacation in Florida with the Granger Road Runner Club.

NEWSBRIEFS RVOS CONVENTION

(Editor's note: By Thursday noon we had heard some conflicting reports concerning the results of the th RVOS (Rolnicky vzajemne ochranny spolek — Farmers Mutual Protective Assn. of Texas) convention held at the KC Hall in Temple, June 26-28, so we decided to place a call to their headquarters to obtain the information, since most, or all, are members of the SPJST. We regret that time would not permit us to attend the convention.

The following were elected to office: President — Jerry E. Valchar Active Vice President — Glenn Hutka Inactive Vice President — Stanley Patak Secretary — Richard D. Hykel Treasurer — George Hubik Attorney — Sidney E. Kacir District Directors: Dist. 1 — Johnnie Gaidusek Dist. 2 — Albert P.

Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 17th at St. Paul Lutheran Church, with Rev. Clarence Oestreich officiating. Interment was in the La Grange City Cemetery.

Brother Petrusek was a member of the SPJST Society. * William Miculka, 82, of Moulton, passed away Saturday, June 10th, 1978, at 1 p.m., in the Shiner Hospital. Funeral services were held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, June 13th, at the Zion Lutheran Church in Moulton, with the Rev. Julius Holm officiating. Masonic graveside services were held at Moulton City Cemetery, following the services at the church. Brother Miculka was a member of the former Lodge 27, Moulton, which merged with Lodge 165 to form Lodge 184, Moulton.

time member who served on the SPJST Publication Committee for several years.

BRIEF NEWS FROM LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON

The annual affair, Hawaiian night at Lodge 88, took place June 24th. The dance was sold out in advance and the Chandelier Ballroom just bloomed with vivid colors. The sht-member hosting committee was quite busy until everyone was seated in the right places.

In charge of the evening were Sister Wanda and Noel Kennedy, and helping with the different functions were Bernice Wahlberg, Frank, Kenny, and Lindsey Broz, H. R. Maxey and Lynn Dula. All these lovely people were dressed to blend in the surroundings of the evening.

The decorating committee worked two nights to establish the Hawaiian atmosphere and they really succeeded; the Chandelier Ballroom just looked beautiful all over. The murals of seaside scenes on each side of the stage and the greenery and flowers around a garden bench made it so cozy. The stage also was beautifully decorated nestling the Hawaiian orches, and tra, The Swinging St

their music lingered in the air like in a dream land. Of course, once in a while a different tempo took place and to my surprise even a Czech melody with Czech words sung by the vocalist. Three prizes were given away to the three prettiest dressed couples. The judges had a hard time making their decisions, because there were really some beautiful dresses on the floor. The entertainment committee really deserves a big hand for the decorating job; Frances Crossman was in charge and she really had a talent for it.

Brother Dean Dubbs had company from Corpus Christi over the weekend — his sister Sue and her husband, Johnny Shepherd. They did some sight-seeing and also enjoyed the Hawaiian dance at Lodge No. 88; they departed for home Sunday afternoon. Come back again.

Elsie Dvorak Kadera spent a whole week here in Houston and her daughter, Frances, joined her over the weekend and returned home to McKinney, Monday. I know her parents, Frances and

Frank Dvorak enjoyed their daughter and granddaughter.

A special dance, again, July 14th, which will be on a Friday, with Eddie Skeets Orchestra from Sioux, City, Iowa. Tickets for this dance are on sale now and are available in the lodge office; admission is $3.50 per person.

August 19th, Ed Gerlach will be playing for us in the Chandelier Ballroom, which will be on a Friday night. Tickets will go on sale one week before. Admission is $5 per person, don't wait until the last minute to purchase your ticket; avoid disappointment. s The Lodge No. 88 Choral Club resumed regular rehearsals on Tuesday night from 7:30 until 9 p.m. We all are enjoying rehearsing again after the summer vacation. Our director, Brother Tim Kostom, now in Czechoslovalda, placed the responsibility in the hands of Sister Naomi Spencer and she is just doing fine. If any of you wish to join us and give it a try, do so, you may like it as well as we do.

VESTNIK LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS SOFTBALL TEAM REPORT Dear Brothers and Sisters: Tuesday night, June 13th, we played the Greater Southwest Interiors team and we lost another close ball game by a score of 2-1 behind the 4-hit pitching of Lionel Schulz. He struck out 3 and walked two and both runs were unearned.

Again, we lead for five innings by a score of 1 to 0 and we should have won, but we didn't.

Hitters were: Don Jarma with 2 hits, Jeff Burton had a double, Jer ry Manak a single, Albin (Bina) Vrana a single, Joe Horasta a sacrifice hit, and Lionel Schulz got a walk. We played good defensive ball afield, except for the one error which resulted in two unearned runs. We had a nice turnout of fans and our thanks for their cheering for the team despite the close loss.

Wednesday night, June 21st, we played at Kiest Park and our opponent was the strong National Motor Club team. Again, we lost a one-run game, with the score being 3 to 2, and we were ahead for five innings before they scored the winning run. Lionel Schulz hurled another fine game, allowing 7 hits, 2 walks, and had 3 strikeouts. We are playing very good ball afield and a timely hit in the right place in the last two games could have made the difference between a loss and a win. In both games, we had starting players absent; two in one game and three in the other, so we did play very good ball despite their absence, however, that happens to most teams.

We lost our big first baseman, Robert Weyman, who has moved to Monahans. Hope we are more fortunate in the remaining two league games, plus the makeup game, before our league games are completed.

Hitters were: Jerry Zabojnik with 2 singles, Roy Andrews had 2 singles, Don Jarma, a single, Jeff Burton a single, Lionel Schulz a single, and Albin Vrana had a walk. Our thanks to the fans who journeyed across the river to see us play.

Our remaining games are: Tuesday, June 27th — Slender Thursday, July 6th, we play our makeup game at Red Bird Field against Air Hydraulics, 8:30 p.m.

Our last league game at Samuel Grand No. 1, is July 11th, at 7:15,

against Air Hydraulics.

We are hoping to see more of you at these games before our season ends.

and solo performers, vocalists, and musicians.

The production will include dialogue by character players, interspersed with music. The play is written by Mr. Nick A. Morris of Temple and is a simple and heartwarming story of an immigrant family and their emigration from a country in Eastern Europe to the United States and Texas. The music will be a blend of the Old World and the New. The story will evoke happiness, nostalgia, sadness and pathos. Special colored slides and audio-visual aids will be used in conjunction with the music and dialogue to tell the story.

Some of the musical numbers by the band and chorus will include such Czech favorites as "Hej Slovaa!" "Boze co's and "America The Beautiful". The cabaret scene in the second act will include a mixture of Old-Time and favorite Country-Western numbers such as "Clear Cool Water,", "Twilight Time", "Misty", "Bluest Heartache Of The Year", and "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain".

Other favorites heard throughout the performance will be the fa-

mous Kmoch march "Koline, Koline", "Blue Skirt Waltz", "Clarinet Polka", "A Jg, Sa.m", "Old Comrades March", "Wonderful World", an excerpt from the US Air Force Song, "Oh, God of Loveliness", and Dvoilk's "coin' Home".

Colored slides prepared especially for this presentation will include religious scenes and scenes from the late President John F. Kennedy's funeral procession in Washington, D.C. "The Immigrants" conveys a simple message because the production is essentially a folk drama.

The players will include Mrs. Marie Zvolanek of Temple as Mama, Anton Pokorny of Taylor as the father (Tata), Judy Hyzak of Granger as the daughter (Anna), and Brian Vanicek of Temple as the son (Pepik). Bernie Gebala, will narrate portions of the play.

VES TN f K PACKAGING WITHOUT SAFETY LIDS Consumers can buy packages without safety lids, Child-resistant safety caps have proven effective in preventing accidental poisoning among children.

However, some adults — particularly older adults and the handicapped — cannot open these containers due to lack of strength, dexterity or poor eyesight.

Manufacturers are permitted to sell one size of a product in ordinary packaging when other sizes are available with child-resistant safety caps, the specialist explains.

For products like furniture polish or aspirin, look for a warning saying that packaging is not recommended for use in households with children.

For prescription drugs, ordinary packaging is only available upon request of the prescribing physician or the customer.

However, when using products without child-resistant safety lids, remember to keep these products in a locked cabinet when children visit.

TUBERCULOSIS IS STILL PRESENT IN TEXAS Modern treatment and diagn tic methods have beaten back widespread tuberculosis but the disease is still around in Texas.

There were more than 2,400 cases of tuberculosis of the lung in Texas in 1976 and 211 people died.

Even though this death rate Is almost ..95 percent less than the number of deaths in 1936, people should not ignore testing and treatment because tuberculosis can spread to other parts of the body. About 12 percent of all tuberculosis cases occur some place be.sides the lungs.

An article in a recent issue of Texas Medicine, the Texas Medical Association's monthly journal, says there were only 50 cases of genitalurinary tuberculosis reported in 1976.

But just the possible pain caused by tuberculosis of the kidneys or genitals should be enough to en-

courage people to get regular tuberculosis tests and follow recommended treatment if they are infected, the association says. Tuberculosis also occurs fairly infrequently in the joints, ears, throat, intestines and some other body . Fortunately, most people get well when treated.

The article says most tuberculosis cases occur in South Texas and in Dallas, El Paso, Lubbock, Tarrant and Travis counties.

The Texas Department of Health says most cases show up in counties with large cities because the disease is spread by contact with people. That is why testing is important if a person has been exposed to someone with tuberculosis. Otherwise people generally do not need the test unless required to get a job or go to school or unless health personnel advise getting it. TDH does offer a voluntary program for first and second graders in some areas.

CtenS■ bratke redaktore, mile sestry a bratti, Tak zase nem od nits. Dnes jest nedele 25. dervna a padesite sodme vkrodi spolutiti a tak to spolu s mantelku slavime doma v tichu.

Odpoledne deti, vnoudata a pravnoudata pfijedou se s nami poteObeas mime s mantelkou de-

batu. Ji ji povidam te jsem jistk te tou Aedesitku spolu se dotijeme oslavit, ale ona mne to nechce yefit neb jak jest natim etenartm znimo, ona trial na nohy j1 mnoho let.

Take budeme mit smutnou vzporainku ku konci tohoto malice neb v roku 1944 nit neAt'astnk syn Frantik pfijel domu nit dovolenou.

Ktefi rodiCe to pfetill vi Jake jest to mile shledini s nasimi syny zvliete po deli dabe. Ale jak musf syn odjet za svoji povinnost nastane jina pisnieka, HdYi _DA§ Frantik, po jeho dovolene,odjiial hodne plakal a jak jest pfirozene kaida matka hledi sveho syna uctit na jeho dalekou cestu co nejlane mate. Mantelka nachystala dobrk obed ale milk Frantik milo pojedl a jak jsme octal' od domu on fidil karu a uvidel jsem te jemu teeou z oef size. itekl jsem jemu: "Zastav, ji budu ffdlt karu."

Tak jsme pfijeli do Hearne, Texas (tam mall vojaici chytit bus kteft v naOem okresu byll no dovolene). Kdyt jsme pfljell k busove stanici jit tam bylo nekolik rodin ktere take vyprovazely jejich syny na vojnu a take nekolik nakich deti ptijelo se s bratrem navidy roziouCit. Poznamka: Nits Jaroslav jig byl v Evrope a nit Franc* nam nekolikrit fekl ae al yellce pfeje aby ho poslali do Evropy se se mita s Jaroalavem sejdou, ale bohutel jeho pfinf se jemu nelnilo — byl poslan do Japonska. Po smutnem roziouCeni vojaci nasedli na bus a jak bus zaeal jet nie Frantik na nas rukou zamival a Cesky zvolal: "Sbohem, sbohem." A vice Jame ho neuvide11.

Byli tam take jedni mantele a jejich syn take odjitdel. Jeho ma-

ocijiidel a v name' jejiho mantala omdlela. Pomohl jsem jemu ulotit do kiry aby ji zavezl k lekafi. Asi za etyki roky jsem byl

volany do Franklin na porotu a jak jsem vetel do radnice a sedl na lavici podivam se okolo a tento mut jit tam sada'. lined jsme se poznall a fekl mne te jejich syn Japonsku take ztratil sviij mladk tivot. My naeeho natt'astneho syna Casto vxpominame a nave myelenky putuju k moll a oei note snail se prohlednout tajeranou jeho hloubku kde na jeho dne nalez1 svej pfedeastnrk hrob. Mime jednu fitechu 2e pozdeji u trunu nebeskeho se s nim shledame.

NU mils synu na to vzpominaine kaide rano na obraz se podivame tvoji podobu si v duchu chovime pamatku na to v srdci uctivame.

Viny tile po moll stale pluji note vzpominky za tebou letf Casem se nam zda se to uvidfme aelcoliv vfme te to nikdy nebude.

Let Us Study Czech

On the whole the use of capital let ters is rather restricted in Czech.

Here are other important points in spelling: Pronouns and possessive adjectives of the POLITE-FORMAL usage ale capitalized, as are those of the FAMILIAR-INFORMAL usage: Vy, Vim, Va g ; Ty, Tvuj, Tobe.

The latter are ALWAYS in caps; the polite form is capitalized only when referring to one person. It you are referring to a group (plural), then the pronouns are not capitalized.

A common error made by many Czechs in this area, is that when they use the formal Vy, Vat, Vain, they use a PLURAL verb, although they are addressing only one person. WRONG: Vy, (1 person) isle ve'era jell do mesta.

RIGHT: Vy jste jel viera do mesta. DO NOT USE A PLURAL VERB UNLESS YOU ARE SPEAKING TO MORE THAN ONE PERSON. The pronoun ji is not capitalized; neither do we capitalize adjectives and adverbs indicating nation ality. (This is done in English).

Examples: !Mini eeskou 'iris% (I have a Czech wife). Mluvime eesky. (We speak Czech).

Punctuation marks are the same in Czech as in English: (See also Lesson 5.) otaznik (?) teeka (.) vykiienik (!)

Claim (,) uvozovaci steednik (;) znamenka (" dvojteeka (:) rozdelovaci pomfeka (—) znamenko (-) One big difference in English and Czech punctuation has to do with the use of commas.

Commas are used before and after a relative clause: 2tratil jsem knihu, kterou nil dal.

— before and after a noun clause: Je mi dobte,'le tomu rozuma.

-- before and after an adjective clause: Vgechen cukr, vsechna kiss.

— before and after an adverbial clause: Jakmile me uvidel. gel rept.

Finally, quotation marks are always preceded by a colon. Example: Otec tekl synovi: "Pokraeuj a ue se!" (In Czech, the first quotation marks are on the line, not inverted, and ARE inverted at the end of the quotation. Our machines here do not print the douole inverted quotation marks. The trend here in the US it to use the standard English quotation marks SPJST
