VOLUME 67 NUMBER 29

JULY 18, 1979

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Your editor and wife attended the District II YAD at Lodge No. 18, Elgin, Sunday, July 8th. The day was pleasant and hot! Naturally, it is July, however, the Lodge No. 18 Hall was very 'nicely cooled inside, if not too cold for some of the ladies; one of them stepped outside in the warm air for a few minutes stating that: "It was freezing inside." Can you imagine?!

The Lodge No. 18 membership is to be complimented for being such gracious hosts. District II DYC Frank Klinkovsky, SYD Massey and all the people involved did a good job and certainly deserve our gratitude for a good turnout. The parents and children certainly help in these YAD endeavorS. Brother Klinkovsky has a good and precise report in this issue; please read it. .*** In the last issue we promised to explain the briefness of the Czech section. We apologize to Sisters Houdek and Stepan that their letters were omitted; not everyone can set Czech type and we received the copy too late Friday with too many mistakes. therefore, we held it out.

Of course, 4th of July made the week shorter than usual. We hope to keep up with it better in the future.

Sister Dorothy (Pavlicek) Warren, our Czech typesetter, is back from vacation now and she knows Czech type better than the average. ** * Fraternalism is as old as man, and since time began, people have been gathering together in small groups to enjoy the companionship of each other,

THOUGHTS FOR TODAY...

Don't spend all your time trying to love your enemies; try treating your friends a little better, too.

Some people make things happen... some watch them happen...others wonder what happened...Turn someone on...SMILE! People who brag about taking a middle-of-the-road position tend to forget they are setting themselves up for being hit from both directions.

Do not laugh at weaker ones, Nor at those less wordly wise-- Someday they may climb the heights And grow strong to your surprise! and I predict they will always do so.

With our Nation in the position as leader of the free world, there never was time when we needed strength and unity of purpose as we clO now, and there is no better place to practice these principles than in the local, lodge room. ** * Too often we stress the need for Public Relations. However, we stress too little on Human Relations, a term we hear almost every day and which begins with the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!" "Doing unto others..," is a good start if there is just a little consideration and common brotherhood, which sets an example-and which is transmitted to others and adds depth to our public image which publicity cannot create if it's not there in

the first place, alienated by any act or acts that serve to corrode its progress as a destructive acid and which paralyzes and prevents normal growth. Let us, therefore, strive to go ahead as a team, feeling vitality in our veins rather than letting anything unhealthy to dissipate our energy which must be channelled constructively without distortion of facts or conform to any single individual's plan for glory or politics. ** * Success is a normal and commendable human aspiration. Every individual needs to find some pride of accomplishment in what they do. The desire to serve a useful purpose in life is one of the most deeply-rooted human instincts, and the achievement of this objective, in reasonable measure, is one of the most satisfying experiences a person can have. A person needs to have these social and moral purposes to distinguish them front all other forms of life. Unless an individual feels that their work has importance and usefulness to others, they become frustrated and ineffective. ** The frontier today has changed, but there are still frontiers to be conquered.

They may not be geographical frontiers, but rather, frontiers of the mind and spirit; and pioneers are needed as never before. The frontiers of the human mind are just beginning to open up. If we are to conquer them, we must seek out and encourage the "uncommon man" who is found, most usually, in the ranks of the so-called "common people."

LODGE NO. 172, PASADENA

Dear Members: Here is wishing everyone who has a birthday in July a happy birthday and a short gasoline line because I sat in one about 4 A.m. one day and 1 thought how we take our comforts for granted. The breeze felt great after all the sweating sitting in the car.

By the time this goes to press, the Skylab will have come to rest, let's trust it won't harm anyone.

Ann Bingham is in the hospital. Sorry to see you ill, Ann, but knowing ydu, you will be up and about. Vlasta Machann isn't feeling very well either. Hope you all get well real fast and anyone else who may be ill. I am back to work at last and it sure makes anyone appreciate good health when you have been ill.

You can always make a mark in life by dragging your foot, but who wants a

wornout shoe?

CARL ZICH is welcoming the assembly and expressing to all who helped and contributed toward the celebration of Svaz u Lodge 92. Seated, L to R are: SL President Nick Morris and District ,r Ski Pokiadnik, who were among the speakers on the program.

Dear Members, Sunday, July 1st, was a great day for Lodge No. 187; the first dance was held in the new Starlite ballroom! Thanks to all you lodge members from neighboring lodges who came and helped us off to such a good start. We regretted the inconveniences of a not-completed building but the great music provided by the Vrazels certainly helped overcome the concrete floor and the not-so-cool building.

Not all of you members have volunteered to serve on a committee.

Please do so very soon so work schedules can be made up well in advance. We need volunteers to work in the kitchen, bar, and in ticket sales.

So many of our members have given many hours in work on the building for which we want to say thank you. Paper hanging, painting cabinets, carpet hanging, sweeping floors, setting up furniture, stocking the bar and kitchen and cleaning tables were jobs ably done by those willing workers. There is still work to be done so if you can help in some way, please call Ray at 255-3786 and offer your services.

When you see the attractive SPJST sign on the front side of the building you will know why we say a great big thank you to Henry Wobus who painted that for the lodge.

Forty-eight members were present at our last meeting. The August meeting will be on Monday, August 6th, at 7:30 at the lodge building. Do come and help our attendance at meetings increase even more!

President Bayer called the meeting of Lodge No. 107 to order July 1st at 5 p.m.

Roxanne Bayer led the pledge and all officers answered the roll call.

Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved and the treasurer and financial secretary gave their reports.

Youth Leader Polly Bayer reported on the activities of the youth club. The June activities were well attended and everyone enjoyed the outings.

Richard Blubaugh, environmental safety co-ordinator of the Panna Maria Mines, was guest speaker. He spoke on safety measures taken at the mines.

Score sheets were passed out to all attending so they could compute their own radiation dose. This proved very interesting since common radiation is all around us. A stone or rock house is more

Jet airplane travel exposes us to more radioactivity. Watching television is also a source of exposure. The point he was trying to make, was the fact that we are all exposed to a certain amount of radioactivity, but it is in a safe margin.

All the questions asked were answered and Mr. Blubaugh stated he would be back with a slide presentation when it was completed.

Camp applications and YAD entry blanks were also passed out. YAD is not too far away: July 22nd, so everyone should be working on their projects.

Vestniks were requested by two members.

New member admitted was Tommy Lee Sefcik and Robert Lynn Sralla took additional insurance.

Our new tables are installed and they certainly do improve the looks of the hall. A motion by Rex Purchis, that we buy additional chairs, carried.

A motion was made by John Burleson that we sell the old tables for $10.

Motion carried.

Rex Purchis, John Burleson and Bob Bayer are to attend a Peanut Festival meeting to see if the beer sales booth will be available to our lodge.

Libby Bayer presented us with 14 cotton bags in which to put peanuts for the peanut booth. All members are requested to make 12" by 20" sacks of cotton prints so that these small sacks can be used to sell peanuts. These are very attractive and increase the peanut sales. Each bag will hold appfoximately 8 pounds of peanuts, raw in the shell. It seems like the demand for raw peanuts, in the shell, is greater than any other type except perhaps peanut brittle. I am quite sure that we will be asking our members for help when we start making brittle.

A letter from Clara Lee Mondry, who now lives in California was read. Also, correspondence from the State Comptroller's office was read.

Joseph Bayer made a motion that we present a copy of our History of Lodge 107 to the Floresville Library. Motion carried and President Bayer is to make the presentation.

Stephanie Burleson won the door prize for July.

Adjournment, after payment of dues, was followed by serving refreshments and a social.

The next meeting will be held August 5th at 5 p.m.

LODGE NO. 175, FORT BEND Dear Sisters and Brothers: Our quarterly meeting held in June was very well attended. The minutes of the last stated and subsequent called meeting were read in such good concise manner it made it appear as a flash-back in full color. After some discussion as to the quality of these reports, they were approved as read.

The main order of business was payment of bills and reading of financial report. Our membership must be a very fortunate group because we did not have any reports of serious illnesses or deaths in a very extended period.

Our financial secretary has finally converted the old looseleaf accounting system to a professional set of books.

This might add to Sister Bryson's work for a short period but I am sure that, in time, this will prove to be a good move.

The Friday night dance With the Telstars orchestra had an overwhelming attendance. Saturday night with the Texas Dutchmen polka time band, the attendance was fair but not overcrowded.

Fourth of July had quite a few group of members and friends who enjoyed the lodge's picnic grounds to celebrate the national holiday. Even with the threatening skies, everyone had a great time playing games. swimming in the Olympic-size swimming pool and enjoying the delicious food. After 1 played cards all day at the regular Birthday Club card party, Margaret Allbritton invited me to join them outside. Many thanks! I came home by sundown but the rest of the group stayed late. Our group had about 50 persons and the other three groups also had quite a kw. It was a nice Fourth of July and no gas wasted because we all stayed in town. More of our members should take advantage of our lovely and cozy, picnic grounds.

Saturday. July 7th, from 4 to 9 p.m., a 50-year wedding celebration was held at Lodge 88 with family and friends to wish Brother Herbert and Sister Emma Jarisch everlasting happinesS. Emma wore a very becoming blue dress with a carnation corsage to match. Their only daughter, Merilyn married to Royce Jaksch, wore a light blue eyelet dress • with a pink corsage. The three grandsons, Joe with his wife, Anita of Spring, Texas; Carl and his wife, Marsha from Conroe, Texas; and the youngest, Robert from Tomball, Texas, plus Emma's sisters, Mrs. Hannie Pfannstel of Conroe, Mrs. Lena Hild of Schultz, Texas; one brother, Mr. Gus Scheefer of Westinore, Texas, Mrs. Elizabeth with husband, Hanna Pope of New Braunfels, Texas; one of Herbert's sisters, and several nieces and out-of-town friends, all enjoyed the refreshments, music and the rich buffet-style dinner. The wedding cake was served with coffee and punch. About 100 guests were present. Emma and Herbert are very active in the lodge and otherwise that's why they look so young and happy. Congratulations and many more!

Brother Harry and Sister Mickey Rice had a very busy weekend enjoying the Schwartz and Loika family reunion held Saturday, July 7th at SchulenbUrg, Texas. Cousin Irene Cross and granddaughter Rachel Chandler from Eureka, California, arrived - Thursday and visited our social night activity and the cozy Blue Room with Harry and Mickey. -Also, present were Mr. and

Wednesday, July 18, 1979 Mrs. Andrew and Carmen Black originally from Portland, Oregon and now living in Houston; they were here to attend the Schwartz-Loika family reunion. Sister Helen Hegwood with her heavenly voice sang: "The Lords Prayer," "How Great Tho Art," and the lovely Czech song: "Nad Prahou tancily hvezdicky" accompanied by Sister Naomi Spencer. As invited guests, Brother Tim and Sister Rosalee Kostom attended the reunion and will attend their own family reunion this month in July at Clowdcroft, New Mexico. Mrs. 0.

Bucek, mother of Mickey Rice, (her maiden name Schwartz) recently enjoyed her Acapulco vacation with her son and daughter-in-law, for several days and enjoyed it tremendously. Yes, Mrs. Bucek, it's great!

Sunday, July 8th was a very happy day for a nice couple, Seth and Ruth Duncan, to observe their wedding anniversary and Ruth's birthday; they live close to the Livingston Lake on a nice wooded plot of land in a comfortable trailer house and, close by, stands a lovely house surrounded by shady trees and occupied by the mother of Ruth's son-in-law Noel Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy is a very tiny and precious lady and full of energy. I think all her great-grandchildren keep her on her toes, during school vacation there are always a couple of them staying in that wonderland keeping grandmother Ruth and Mrs. Kennedy great-grandmother wide awake. Both these women, including Seth, are busy with their large vegetable garden and besides they have a number of beautiful patch quilts which is something to see; all of these tiny pieces of material are sewed together by hand into a king-size quilt which also makes an expensive bedspread. I just marveled over this beautiful work. King and Helen Hegwood were nice to offer us a ride in their comfortable van. The free-loaders were myself, Jerry Pokorny, Dorothy Muras, Della Kadlecek, Amos Kadlecek and Joe Fusig, Helen's father. It rained almost all the way but it didn't mar the festivity, the sun came out and it was nice all the rest of the day, but, coming back, it drizzled all the way to Houston.

Thanks for the ride. Congratulations to both and live happily for a long, long time.

Tom and Mary Elzner of Taft, Texas flew to Vista, Arizona to visit son, Robert and his wife Chiccie and their three grandchildren. Flying back they ,had a 5-hour layover at the Hobby Airport in Houston and utilized the time and visited Brother Joe and Ann Elzner.

DALLAS CIRCLE OF CZECH WOMEN Some time back I promised to write a short letter, so this time I'll keep that promise. The Dallas Circle of Czech Women did not have a meeting in July, however, there are a few items of interest to report.

The Circle will miss a faithful and a long-time member, namely, Sister Antonie Cechan, who passed away July

VtSTNiK

16 5th. Only a week ago, she baked kolace for the July 1 picnic; shortly after that, she became ill and passed away a few days later. Sister Lillian Kaska's mother, Mrs. Josephine Vrana, passed away recently. Sincere sympathy is extended to Sister Kaska and family and to all loved ones of Sister Cechan.

Sister Mary and Frank Sebestik have returned from their trip to Czechoslovakia and reported they had a wonderful time visiting with relatives. However, on their return flight, they experienced quite an ordeal at the Prague airport - a 13-hour wait for their plane to arrive to take them back to the U.S. That must have been very tiring and frustrating.

It was so gratifying to see so many sisters of the Circle respond to furnishing pastry for the July 1 picnic, which was held at the Sokol Athletic Center. Several sisters attended and several helped serve pastry, while some helped in the kitchen.

Remember the bus trip to the SPJST Czech Museum in Temple July 26th. The bus will leave from the Sokol Athletic Center promptly at 8:30 a.m. Those from Oak Cliff area can meet the bus on Kiest Blvd. and Interstate 35 service road, about 8:45 a.m. If interested, call Sister Zvolanek, 821-1808.

Congratulations to Bob Zvolanek, Sister Anne's husband, for winning 5 blue ribbons and 1 big award for having the best plant in that class, entered in the First Men's Garden Club. The next meeting will be August 3.

Keep cool!

SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM REPORT LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: Thursday night, July 5th, we played Richardson Heights Baptist team and we won by a score of 5 to 1. Lionel Schulz, our winning pitcher, allowed 2 hits, 3 walks and 4 strikeouts in an outstanding performance on the mound.

Leading the team at bat were Kerry Goad with a double and a walk, Don Jaffna with a single, Danny Yates with a single and a sacrifice, Jerry Zabojnik and Randy Christian, both with a single hit, Joe Harasta, a walk and Rick Fountain had a walk.

Saturday we entered the Stephenville Tournament and we played our first game at 11 a.m. against the Golden Fried Chicken team from Graham, Texas. In a game that went 10 innings, we finally lost by a score of 7 to 6.

Actually, we should have won the game

in 7 innings by a score of 6 to 5, but a real bad and wrong call by the umpires sent the game into extra innings. One umpire behind the plate called their man out and the base umpire said our catcher dropped the ball and reversed the call. Our player did not drop the ball, but it's all in the game, regardless, Lionel Schulz hurled 10 innings allowing 7 hits, one walk and 5 strikeouts.

At bat Don Jarma had a homerun and 2 singles, Jerry Zabojnik had a homerun and 2 walks, Rick Fountain earned 2 singles, Ken Skierski made a single and a sacrifice hit, Danny Yates had 2 singles, and Kerry Goad contributed a single hit.

After the game we had a picnic lunch in the park area consisting of a delicious Columbia ham, rye bread, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, chips, onions, ice tea, soft drinks, pivo and cookies and homemade hot fudge cookies.

After refreshing themselves with a dip in the pool at the motel, the team had a 3:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon game against the Dozers from Jacksboro, Texas. We won by a score of 10 to 0 in 5 innings behind the 2-hit pitching of John Fomler, a draftee from the St. Paul's team in our Richardson League. He was a replacement of our other pitcher Roy Andrews, who is suffering with a bad sprained ankle.

Offensively, Curtis Jaska had 2 doubles, Rick Fountain earned a sacrifice and a single hit, Don Jarma had a homerun, a walk and a single, Ken Skierski made a walk, Don Lennox earned 2 single hits, Randy Christian had a double, Kerry Goad had a single and Joe Harasta contributed a single.

As a result of our win, we had to play again at 6:30 p.m. against a real strong team from Dallas, Hendrix Glass, a team we had beaten earlier in the season. We really had a battle before we finally lost by a score of 7 to 5. It was no sin losing to a strong team, but it's never fun to lose a game to anyone.

Lionel Schulz was our pitcher for this game allowing 7 runs, 8 hits, 2 walks and 2 strikeouts. We had a big inning in the 4th where we scored 5 runs, (enough to win most games), but they somehow outscored us.

Leading hitters for this game were Curtis Jaska with a single, Don Jarma had a single, Don Lennox earned a single and a walk, Kerry Goad contributed a homerun and a walk, Ken Skierski, a walk and Randy Christian also made a walk. Although we were not happy with our record, the team played real hard and gave a good account of themselves.

There were only thirteen teams in this

tournament but all were real strong teams and resulted in a real good tournament. I guess we will have to start planning for next year and hope for a higher finish. It has just come to my attention that the team that put us out of the tournament won first place in this tournament, the third time that this has happened to us in tournament play this season. At least we did get beat by the best!

Tuesday night, July 10th, we played Custom Builders in our, Dallas Major League and we won a thriller by the score of 4 to 3. Lionel Schulz was the winning pitcher allowing 3 runs, 4 hits, 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. Lionel got out of bed to pitch and did a good job despite having the flu. We did appreciate his effort and dedication.

Leading our team offensively were: Don Lennox with 2 single hits, Don Jarma with a double, Dan Palm made a single hit, Jeff Burton earned a single hit and a sacrifice hit, Danny Yates had a walk, Randy Christian also had a walk, and Roy Andrews, our insured player, who pinch hit and drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 7th inning, contributed a single hit. We pulled the game out with a 3-run rally in the bottom of the 7th inning to improve our record to read 5 wins and 2 losses in our Dallas League. We have 5 rained out games to make up the next 3 weeks before the City Championship Playoff the weekend of August 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

There is still time to come out and see the team play, We would love to have your presence.

DISTRICT II ACHIEVEMENT DAY RESULTS The YAD of District No. II was well attended by both youth and adults.

The youth were full of enthusiasm and they were well represented from the whole district. There were 70 youths who participated in the talent and royalty contest and there were 175 craft entries in the arts and craft contest. We had 5 kings and 9 queens competing in the royalty contest.

On the district level, all active youth clubs, including Academy, Seaton, Taylor, Cyclone, Rockdale, Lovelady, Granger, Elgin, Beyersville, Cameron/ Buckholts and Round Rock, were very well represented.

I would like to thank the youth leaders and assistants, the District II officers, District II Director Henry Vitek, SYD Dorothy Massey, and many other sisters and brothers who were so very efficient in helping to make our YAD such a great success. It was through your help that made this day successful and we certainly do thank everyone. I would especially wish to thank the 7 people who did all of the tabulating. Mr. Henry Vitek supervised this committee.

Others on the committee were Mrs. Mary Dubec, Ronnie Reiger, Millard Mowdy, Mike Kaiser, Ray Woytek and Dan Bohac. The local lodge youth leaders and assistants all did their part and certainly did it well. Thank you again, one and all.

I also wish to thank the judges: they donated all of their time and we certainly do appreciate the use of their time and talents. All of the members of District II wish to say thank you to Lodge 18, Elgin who was such a good host lodge and helped in many ways to make our YAD a great success. A special thanks to the members who worked that day, in the bar and kitchen and setting up the chairs, etc.; also, for the delicious meal they served. It took a lot of hard work to prepare.

I would also like to give special thanks to members from Lodge 18 who helped me and did a \\ ■ Inderftil joh. Brother

Leslie Gustafson, lodge president, and Bro. and Sis. Alton Prinz, Dale Kessel, Jim Mogonye and many others. Your help was greatly appreciated. I will not name anyone else because there were over 30 leaders, assistants, district officers, SYD, the editor and his wife, my assistant Norma Cavanaugh and leaders' wives or husbands and my wife who helped me so you can see that this is no one-man job. It is the cooperation of all of these people so I certainly want to thank everyone of you.

Z redakce

V nyneliim eisle se chci omluvit hlavne sestram Houdkove a Stepanove ze se jejich dopis9 nedostaly do posledniho eisla Vestniku.

Za jedno byl kratk9 t9den, protoze st •edu byl svatek 4. eervence, a za druhe, bylo mnoho chyb a vge jsme Dorothy Warrenova (b9vala Pavliekova) lope zna eeskou fee a je zpet z dovotene tak doufame, ze bude to pokraeovat lope.

ODDIL DOPISOVATELU (

Opozdeno) Tak Vielicos Aneika Houdkova.

Dnes mame 1.6ervence a Ili tfeti den mame velke horko, yeera a pfedeveirem bylo jiZ 103 a to jiZ je opravdu horko. Inu ovgem, vidye je tu eervenec a pak pI1jde srpen a to jsou dva ty nejteplej gi mesice v roce, tedy se mame na co te g it,Ze ano?

Kdyby aspofi trochu zaprgelo, aby se ochladilo, ale asi na to nebude nadeje.

Nekde jsou deste a tornada, ktera nadelaji velke g kody a pfi kterjrch tide pi ijdou o iivot, a tedy musime bjrt asi spokojeni s tim, jak to je.

Nyni co je takova nouze o gasolin, tak bude asi se mono jezdit na vjrlety, nebot' byla by pak starost s tim, jak by se pak dostali domil. Jiste je, ze tim, guverner udelal zakon, ze stfidave budou lide dostavat gasolin tak lecktere v9lety a zajezdy odpadnou. Jak to bude dale Zadn9 nevime, kdy svetova situace se donne meni. V zapadnim Texasu jist9 ()bean Floyd Butler ma celkem 6 olejovjrch studni (prvni studna byla "sucha"), ale ty druhe mu vynageji pekn9 p •ijem asi 11 tisic dolarei tjrdne, coZ je opravdu hezka suma. On a jeho spoleenici dobi'e dopadli v tom olejoy9m obchode a kdykoliv potfebuji gasolin, tak jej mohou mit bez obtai. Skoda, kaZdy nema takove gtesti—to by se jezdilo. ze aim?

Take jsem se dovedela, ze ennisk9 krajan p. Mira Pavelka se pry nachazi v nemocnici a je dosti nemoenjr. Velmi neradi jsme to sly geli a ze srdce radi bychom mu p •ali, aby brzy se pozdravil a

18. Zervenee 1371 mohl zas jiti domfi ke sve manZelce otci p. Jim Pavelkovi. S rodinou Privelkovou se zname od mladi a jiste jim pfejeme vge dobre. Take pry p. Jan Vrla je zase v nemocnici v Ennis a jemu teZ pfejeme filevu a brzke uzdraveni.

Pavelkovi a Vrlovi jsou u SPJST 135 a 25. Pan Emil Holubaf byl neda yno v enniske nemocnici a snad je mu jii lope.

Pfejeme vgem nemocn9m to nejlep gi. P. Holuba • je syn pi. Mary Holubai'ove.

ManZele Jaroslav Kopeekovi pojedou do Londjrna a pozdeji pak zase se podivaji na pfibuzne v BuCovicich na Morave, tedy jiste uZiji v9letu. St'astnou cestu a navrat zas domu do Ameriky.

V nedeli jsme videli na televizi sl.

Martinu Navratilovou, kdy hrala tennis ye Wimbledon, Anglii a g lo ji to velmi dobfe. Take pfedstavili jeji maminku pi.

Janu Navratiloy ou z Prahy, ktera obdtiela povoleni nav gtivit na dva tjrdny svou dceru. gekla par slov anglicky a sledovala hru dcefinu. SI. Navratiloya sdelila, ze jestli fifady v Csl. dovoli prodlouZeni jeji mamince, ze ji vezme sebou do Ameriky a k nam do Dallas a ukaZe ji jeji domov a okoli, ye kterem ona bydli zde v Texasu. Bude miti pak co yypravet doma, jestli se ji to vypini.

Tak uz zase mame zde tu sezonu jako Sc stava kaZdjrm rokem, kdy mnoho lidi pi ijde o iivot utopenim. Minul9 tjrden mlad9 13. let hoch, kter9 byl se skupinou od jeho kostela utonul v koupaligti a veera zas mlada 16. !eta diveina a star gi mui se take utopili. Je ovgem velke horko a kaidy chce se ochladit, jenZe opatrnosti nikdy nezbjrya, a je dosti tech, kteIi odejdou smrti p • irozenou a tak net •eba jegte smrti nahodne, ze ano?

Clovek ani nevi, kolik eeskeho lidu je zde v Dallas. Minul9 tjrden me zase volal krajan z Moravy, ze pry je tu jii etyfi mesice a je gte nepotkal iadneho Cecha, aby si s nim pohoyofil. On umi trochu anglicky, ale jeho manielka ani slovo, a maji pry pet t9dnil stare dite. Ovgem, nemaji auto a tak se teiko dostanou mezi na g lid. On je pry zamestnan jako soustruznik a te gi se, ze snad brzy bude moci poznat nekoho, s kjrm by si mohl pohovofit, coZ bych mu pfala.

Pozvala jsem ho, jak bude moci pfijet, aby pfijel k nam, neb vim, ze asi se jim

velmi st9ska a nemaji s k9rn si krajansky promluvit.

Ve stfedu byl zase na g svatek 4.

Cervence a tak si myslim, kolik asi je tech, ktefi znaji pra y9 vjrznam toho dne? Meli bychom ygichni vidy 1)3'4 vdeeni, iv e zijeme v nagi svobodne zemi a mame se piece jen lope nezli mnoho jinjrch lidi na svete. Vzpomerime si, nagi pfedkove touilli po to svobode a to pIilezitosti k lepg imu Zivotu, kterou tato zem jim sk9tala a co v ge museli profit nal se stali obeany teto zerne.

Take jsem eetla smutnou zpravu o negtesti, ktere se pfihodilo v Michiganu neda yno. Na farme rodiny Perkinsove zacali sekat seno a malt' tfi let hoch eygem gel se zvedavosti se podivat a negeastnou nahodou vstoupil prave do cesty stroji sekacimu, kterjr mu usekl obe nohy nad kotniky. Otec a dedeeek nevedeli, ze hoch tam je, az kdy jej slygeli vyk •iknout. Hned zavezli hocha do nemocnice v Lansing, kde 1ekaii po celjrch gest hodin mu hledeli nohy zase pfidelat a doufali, ze se v ge dobfe skonei.

BohuZel, za dva dni hoch musel mit obe nohy odriaty, nebot' hrozila mu infekce a byl ye vainem stavu. Je to jiste smutna zprava, nebot' hoch od tak utleho mladi bude mit lecktere takosti a jiz nebude moci it Zivot normalni. Take tato nehoda byla ne geastna a jiste zbyteena a opatrnosti nezbjrva nikdy - to je jiste pravda!

( Pokraeovani) Minul9 t9den ze Cistern, Texas se roznesla smutna zprava, ze zemfel Frankie Brosh. Byl pochovan na Cistern h • bitove u kostela; dlouho se nete g il z jeho odpoeinku; jen asi pfil roku (lest mesicfi) co se nastehovali do jejich noveho domu, kter9 si postavili p19 Cistern, neb oba pracovali v Houstonu.

Doti Zadne nemeli, ale zanechal vernou mariZelku Della Brosh a jednoho bratra Joe Brosh v Port Lavaca, Texas a dve sestry pi. Olga Pg eneik v Houstone a pi.

Mary Huebner v Rowena, Texas a mnoho pfatel.

Taky zeniiel V.A. Pechieek z Flatonie y e Smithville nemocnici. Pochovan byl z

Vt8TNIK

26 katolickeho kostela ye Flatonii na mestskem hfbitove. Zanechal matfilelku Julia Pechaeek y e Flatonii; dve sestry, Mary Stepan na Koval' a FrantiMm Juiica v Glidden, Texas.

Jeden bratr, John, jeho pfede gel pied mnolia roky.

V g em zemIelym veeny odpoeinek a .svetlo at' Mu sviti a pozilstal9m rodinam na g i .soustrast.

Mary Stepanova -SPJST-

Tak Vielicos Aneika Houdkovit.

Dues pig i s tak9m srdcem nebot' zase muslin oznamit, ie odegla opet jedna pfitelkyne po krat gi nemoci. Pani Antonie eechanova ode g la tak rychle, mnohjr krajan ani o torn nevedel. V sobotu rano mela pohieb z kostela sv.

Tornag e z Aquinas a odtud na hfbitov Restland. Rozena byla v Cechach a jestli se nemjaini, tak to bylo poblize Kutne Hory a bylo ji 82 let. Zanechala dva syni Henry a Frank, dva vnuci (dvojeata) Ronald a Donald, a jednoho bratra Josefa Altmana v Houstonu. Patfila k Sokolu a ke Krouiku Ceskjrch Zen. Byla to tak dobra du ge, nikdy nikoho neurazila a nikomu nikdy neublizila. Na takove osoby se nezapomind a ja jiste ne, nebot' jsme se mely vespolek tidy ce19 Cas co se zname. Mile piitelkyni pieji klidn9 spanek a pozilstale rodine vyslovuji svou ,soustrast nad odchodem drahe bytosti.

Take zase musim psati smutnou zpravu, co se zde udalo. Koncem eeryna male 6. lete deveatko bylo uneseno od apartmentni budovy kde ona s rodiei bydlela, a Lie byla yypsana odmena 10 tisic dolarn za nalezeni ditete, tak misto toho nag li ji mrtvou asi tfi mile od domova. Jelikoz pry byla mrtva asi skoro t9den tak telo bylo v rozkladu a na g li jen kostru a poznali toto jen dle obleku svetl9ch vlasn. Nyni maji v ialaii eloveka 25. leteho, kter9 bydlei jen malt' kousek od obydli deveete a devee pry si nekdy hralo se synem toho eloveka, kter9 bude souzen pro vraZdu. Je to jiste hnusn9 Cin a pro rodinu je to stra gna rana na kterou nikdy nezapomenou. Deveatko si glo k yeeeru chviiku pohrat pled yeeeti a Eli se nevratilo. Dnes v nedeli bude se konat pametni obfad ye First Baptist kostele v Mesquite za deveatko, ktere tak mlade muselo ztratit iivot takov9m zpilsobem.

Mala Tyra Christine Heath zanechala rodiee, bratra, dve babiCky a dva dedeekove a dve prababieky. Jestli je ten elovek vinen za jeji smrt, tak jiste zaslot1 velik9 trest.

Take jsme obdrieli pozvanku na stfibrnou svatbu manielii Ernest Janeckovjtch kteii tuto udalost oslavi na Catholic Czech Club na Military Parkway dne 21.Cervence s yeeefi a

tancem. Pan Ernest jest synem Adolf Janeckovjtch se kter9mi se dobfe zname. Gratulujeme manielfim Ernest Jane a: m/9m a pfejeme v g e dobre nadale, a pfejeme jim, aby oslava se jim pekne yydafila.

Piece je g te jsou na svete poctivi fide nebot' to bylo neda yno potvrzeno kdy=2" se oznamilo, ze v mesici lednu jist9 elovek ze San Antonio, Tx., na gel v telefonni budce y e Phoenix, Arizona penaenku ye ktere bylo na hotovosti $625.00 a geky v cene kolik tisic dolaru mimo obchodnich papiril a vg e odevzdal Cloy eku kteremu patfily a nakonec odmitl jakoukoliv odmenu za to. Nalezee jest 44. lety prodavae kuchytiskjtch kabinetn a jiste by byl tieba mohl upotfebit penaitou odmenu ale on to odmitl a vratil v ge. V dnegni dobe jest to jiste zazrak, ze ano?

V Houstonu se naleza 10 dni start' chlapec kter9 piijel ai z Indiany aby zde lekafi ho operovali na srdce. Meek ale je v tom, ie rodiee jsou wiry tak zvane Jehovah's Witnesses a tato vira nedovoli pfeyOd krve cizi. A hoch prj, potfebuje• tento pievod (transfusion) aby ()festal operaci. Tedy se budou konat zkougky zda skuteene pacient musi mit to krev, ktera jest obyeejne nutna pfi podobne operaci. Nekteri lido teto viry radeji nechaji deti unifit nei by pfistoupili na pievod jine krve, kdyz jim to vira zakazuje. Je to ale divne, ie ano?

Prate jsem se dovedela, ze maniele Louis- Pekafovi oslavili sve 70. vjtroei manielstvi v sobotu odpoledne v Ennis.

Napfed meli obfady v kostele sv. Jana a pak veeefi na katolicke sini KJT, ktera se pekne yydafila. Pan Pekaf jest 89. let a jeho pani 86 a rozena byla VIkova.

Hodne mladi vstoupili do stavu maaelskeho a je gte dues jsou dosti mladi a Ciperni na sva leta. Takoveho vjtroCi se malokdo cloaca a jiste stoji za povgimnuti. Pekafovi maji 5 deti, 16 vnoucat, 34 pra-vnoueat a 7 pra-pravnotteat—tedy jiste pekne velkou rodinu.

Pani Pekafotta jest tettekou Oral Joe a Stanley VIkov9ch a pi. John Trojaekove.

Maaele Pekafovi zname jiz mnoho let jeg te kdy;, jsme bydleli v Ennis a up:fin-me ze srdce jim pfejeme v ge dobre a hlavne to zdravieko aby se doekali svatby diamantove.

Minnie jsem psala o tech mladjtch lidi ktefi nedit y no pfi gli z Moravy, a ie nebydli daleko od nits tak jsem se g la na ne podivat. Melt velkou radost e jsme pfigli a nechteli nits pustit prota:e tolik mesien neslygeli ani jedno Ceske slovo a chteli si pohovofit po na gem. On ma dobrou praci a v ge by bylo dobre jen kdyby ()belts mohli se sejit s krajany..

Poradili jsme jim v leceems aby ( je nezictiene) ;fekdo neo:g idil kdy=i to neznaji. Je to smutne, ale je gte se fide

najdou ktefi jen eekaji na takovou pfilaitost aby mohli fait z nekoho. Nu, casein si pomohou a pak se seznami s krajany a jfil se jim nebude tolik stjtskat jako nyni. Slygela jsem, re je to mnoho lide z Csl. o kter9ch ani nevime a teprve pozdeji je pozname.

Rikit se, zc se neschazeji hory s horami ale lido s licni—a jest to skuteene pravda. Nedit yno manhae Edwin a Mary Kueerovi z Dallas byli na nav gteve v Praze v Csl. a koho tarn nepotkali?

Zadneho jineho nezli rnarfiele Edwin Petrovi take z Dallas. NebYta to vilagtni nahoda se sejit tak daleko od domova?

Jiste to bylo radostne setkani, ano?

Slygela jsem, e pan Mira Pavelka ply se • citi mnohem lepe co mu pfejeme.

Take pry pi. Annie Zapalaeova ui je na tom lepe a snad brzy bude v ge dobfe.

Vgem nemoen9m pfejeme od srdce toho zdravieka a vy ostatni nestonejte!
