From The Editor MUSIC If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.

Orpheus with his lute made trees, And the mountain tops that freeze, Bow themselves when he did sing: To his music plants and flowers Ever sprung; as sun and showers, There had made a lasting spring.

The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.

--Shakespeare It was somewhat a pleasure to have the weekend of August 2nd and 3rd off and not have to travel, especially, since we had a youthful visitor, age 15, from Brno, Czechoslovakia spend the first three days of August with us. He is Jaromir Vyoral, the son of Marie (Majka) Vyoralova who was one of the soloists with the Moravanka Ensemble when they toured the US in October of 1978. He came to the US for a two-month stay to visit his uncle in Endicott, New York and is spending a month here in Waco and West with Mr. and Mrs. William Dokupil and us while here. He is a very brilliant youth and speaks Czech fluently, English well also. He and Edwin (Bubba) get along well. We enjoyed his stay.

In a way, it is amazing to find a young person, such as the one we have mentioned above, to he so advanced in knowledge about the world in which he lives. He knows about various types of governments in the world and the way they function. He will be in the 10th grade with 3 more years in high school and then he plans to go to higher education in electronics and/or computerization. He speaks, reads and writes Czech and English and knows Russian and German. He does not like to be introduced and is rather shy and is very observant. Your editor asked him if he smokes'and he does not. When asked if young boys his age (15) and older in Brno smoke, he answered: "Only when they wish to act smart or want to impress girls." Marihuana? They don't allow it and cannot get it. He likes Czech (Moravian) music and rock and roll; his best love? Hard Rock as performed by "Cheap Trick" and "Kiss!" He likes Olivia Newton John's singing.

A highlight of his stay was receiving

Wednesday, August 13, 1980 an autographed football given to him, personally, by BoL Lilly at the Wednesday August 6th Westfest Press Party at the VFW Hall in West. It read: "To Jarda with best wishes, Bob Lilly, Dallas Cowboys.

When speaking of the fifth freedom, rules and regulations, we must have. The law, the clock, and the calendar have a big hand in what we do. But there is one privilege we can enjoy without restriction; that is the privilege of reading---the fifth freedom. You can read when you choose; stop when you feel like it. Nobody tells you what to read or how much. With a newspaper, magazine, or book, you are as free as a bird. You can absorb a paragraph, a page, or the whole works, from cover to cover.

A famous man once said that one thing that distinguishes man from animals is the ability to laugh. Another may be added---the ability to read. An animal can see; man can look at a screen. An animal can hear; we can listen to the radio and TV. But an animal cannot read. Only man appreciates the information, education, and relaxation offered by the written word.

How to avoid loneliness and boredom in retirement, that is the problem of most of our senior citizens today.

This editor would say that Creative Activity is the key to happiness and peace of mind in the golden years. You must find new interests, new hobbies, and make new friends. Take an interest in your community, your State and your Country and the World.

Endeavor to commute with the Master Minds by reading the Great Books.

Cultivate the superb art of letter writing and make new friends around the world.

Be a "Good Will Ambassador." Promote people-to-people contact by letters and promote world peace, good will and brotherhood of man. Be a Booster---a Go-Getter and a Gazetteer; this is the life for retired persons that makes life worthwhile and interesting. See the truth and the beautiful in life and write about it. Don't talk about the "Good Old Days" they are past beyond recall---but make the most of today. Be young in Spirit if not in Years! *** Various elements money cannot buy: In the present days of computers and robots, it seems that products can be purchased for nearly every need of mankind, and some believe that machines can do anything.

SPJST LODGE NO. 47, SEATON CHORAL CLUB

Dear Readers, The July 22 rehearsal and meeting had the following members in attendance: Otto and Matilda Hanus, Albina Mikeska, Marie Zvolanek, Stacie Horelica, Mary Vasicek, Bob Vasicek, Annie Jakubec, Henry and Helen Janacek, Agnes Schiller and Martha Klusacek.

Althea (13) and Carlson Young (11), children and grandchildren of Janet Young and the Mathu Cablas, came also. The Choral members enjoyed having them sing with us and invite them to come again; ditto Michael Morris.

Others present were Eleanora Spanhel, Ruby L. Bolton, Anne Krcha, Georgia Sodek, Lillian Kosarek, Dorothy Morris, Emily Stuteville, Elsie and Mathu Cabla, Janet Young, (who was back after a long absence and welcomed), Vallie and Leon Zavodny, Dorothy and Jerry Pechal, Frank Spanhel and Bill Kosarek. 窶｢ Althea had previously sung with the club regularly. Her birthday choice "San Antonio Rose" renewed our acquaintance with an "old friend."

Director Annie Jakubec and Accordionist Henry Janacek led us through a selected program, and it is good to see the interest and willingness of all the singers to make our rehearsals and performances successful.

VESTNIK In singing, the main purpose for our club, a physical and a social activity are combined. Physical, because we exercise the main parts of our torso; social, in that each member gives of his talent and receives the harmony of all voices in song. It is a happy time spent; one that leaves us with a sense of well-being.

For practical reasons, minutes have been kept since the club's origin.

Secretary-Treasurer Ruby L. Bolton read the minutes of our most recent meeting, and gave the financial statement. Other reports were made by Lillian Kosarek and Dorothy Morris.

Photographer Bobby Sosa donated the color picture and his service for the sitting to the club. The photo is a tribute to his talent. We gratefully accepted and acknowledged his generosity.

Available information for our planned trip to Czech Day, Dallas, was presented and discussed. More details will come later. Reservation for seats can be made with Dorothy Morris and Lillian Kosarek. Club members have preference; a waiting list has already begun for extra seats.

The two Beseda Dancers' circles performed at the Aqua Festival in Austin on August 1st and will not be at the Folklife Festival in San Antonio as stated in the previous report. My apologies to all.

Vallie Zavodny and Emily Stuteville spoke for the dancers. They (the sixteen dancers) chartered a bus and all extra seats were "up for grabs" to supporters and fest-lovers. Wherever they dance, they are our goodwill ambassadors.

The songbooks are being renovated to be completed within the next month.

Helping with the project were Anne Krcha, Martha Klusacek, Helen Janacek, Lillian Kosarek, Dorothy Morris, Ruby L. Bolton and Annie Jakubec.

Our next rehearsal will be on the second Tuesday of August.

Our Special Dance for Saturday night, August 2, with Ed Gerlach's Orchestra was well-attended, mostly by friends of the lodge. The membership seemed to take it easy and stayed at home. Of course, some did come, but that was a very small percentage. Everyone present was very nicely dressed, especially all the ladies take pride to come to our dances in the Chandelier Ballroom like fashion plates. The music was very good because comments were heard all around.

Hosting this dance were: Homer and Rita Alexander, Herbert and Gazela Huber, Ben and Mildred Schulte, and Charlie and Anna Bell Veit. This was an advance sale dance, but all four couples were quite busy until all the guests have been seated. Chairman Harley Cox was also present and on call.

Sunday, August 3rd, our annual Homecoming of members was very successful. About 2,000 came with their families to enjoy the delicious dinner prepared by the committee. Everyone remarked about the •delicious barbecue; it was exceptionally good and served with all the trimmings. Many non-members came and enjoyed the Sunday on the picnic grounds with music played by the Joe Patek Orchestra for four solid hours.

People visited inside and outside with each other and enjoyed the day. This is a one-a-year affair and it takes many volunteers to help the standing committees with all the work involved in this undertaking. We are grateful and appreciate all the helping hands extended for this event to make it a great success. During the social, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., quite a few players were happy with their luck. Thanks to everyone who helped after the social to clear the tables to get ready for the dance from 5 to 9 p.m. The Chandelier Ballroom was filled to capacity with nice people to enjoy the FREE dAnce with music by Lee Roy Matocha; again, we wish to thank everyone for any kind of help during this Homecoming Day. Thanks for the generous amount of home-baked pastries from our devoted members and friends; the variety was overwhelming, it was hard to choose because the table was loaded. Also thanks to all the special prize donors. These two projects were sponsored by the Birthday Club Sisters.

This morning I was at the lodge and, again, there were members cleaning up the mess, after a very successful day. Can you imagine the condition a place is left with so many people for one whole day?

But it is clean again and ready, that's the way it goes week after week. These eight men, Willie Wehring, Franklin Bravenec, Milton Elolf, Larry Green, Karl Lindemann, Vernon Sokol, Jimmie Wahlberg and John Broz, were responsible for the delicious barbecue served to us for dinner. Thanks, Brothers, Charles and Betty Kelly are on a one-week Caribbean cruise to live it up and are lucky to have parents, Stephen and Estelle Kelly to have their two lovely children for the weekend and at the Homecoming Day. Grandson Steven and granddaughter Liza love to spend time with Stephen and Estelle at the lodge.

Betty's mother, Mrs. Latrop will come down from Splendora, Texas to take back the two grandchildren with her for the rest of the time to spend with the other pair of grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Latrop; that way both grandparents will be happy, and Charles and Betty won't have to worry.

Sister Ruth Durham was a busy lady making a cheerleader's costume for her lovely granddaughter, Stacey Durham.

Stacey is the daughter of Ruth's son, Michael and daughter-in-law, Mary Margerette Durham. This lovely young lady attends school in Huntsville, Texas and she will be in the seventh grade and is very popular.

Brother Frank Tymel was all smiles telling me of the great time he had at Lake Livingston fishing last week. The

great catch he made will last him a while to enjoy.

Monday, August 4th, a sales representatives' class was held at the lodge by Brother Silas Smith with thirty people present. The lecture was informative and I enjoyed the two hours very much. This time, the usual refreshments were dispensed with.

Birthday Club meeting will be held, as usual, the second Wednesday in the month and a nice lunch will be served.

Guests are welcome. The date of Wednesday, August 13th, will be a meeting at 11:15 a.m. and lunch will follow.

To the Youth Members: Craft and ceramic classes are held every Thursday

by Mary Schenburn, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bring your lunch.

Blue Room Specials for August are: All BRANDY drinks for $1.10. Come out and enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the service by our bartender Nat, a very friendly guy.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Our last regular monthly lodge meeting was held Sunday, August 2nd, 1980, at 2 p.m. with lodge president, Brother Jerry Pechal in charge.

After the meeting was called to order, Flagbearers Gene Skrabanek and David Pechal led the assembled members in the pledge to the United States flag. We remained standing for a moment of silence in memory of the deceased, Sister Julia Orsag Adamek, 94, and Brother William Schwenke, 79, who passed away since the July meeting.

Our deepest sympathy to the survivors.

May these departed members rest in eternal peace and our honor to their memory forever.

President Pechal welcomed everyone and recognized visitors: Sisters Ann Balusek, Marylou Skrabanek and Ruth Janacek. Do come, again, because we enjoyed having your presence.

Secretary Sister Ginger Klusacek read the roll call of officers, sales representatives, and the minutes of the previous meeting. The minutes were approved after a few word changes.

Correspondence read: the mortuary dues from the Supreme Lodge office; a "thank-you" for get-well cards and hospital visits from Brother Alfred L.

8 Klusacek, who was present at the meeting (no fences to climb to get there). We were glad to have him even !Lh~J!.as to walk with crutches, and a "thank-you" from Sister Ann Shenkir for the get-well cards and hospital visits. She, also, sent a poem to be read.

She is improving but was too weak to come to the meeting. We hope you gain your strength back soon.

The Investigating Committee approv­ ed the applicants and we voted to accept these into Lodge No. 47 membership: James Maurice Wiley, Heath Reese Guthrie, Travis Kirk Ross, Malcolm Louis Van Tuyl, Jr. and Matthew Brian Chlapek; and additional policies to Theresa Rose Vanicek and Leo A. Baca.

Brother Frank Janacek transferred to Lodge No. · 47 from Lodge No. 24.

Welcome to all of these named and do come to the lodge meetings because Brother Janacek did. He has been coming to lodge dances and now, since he enjoyed the meeting, he will be a regular at other lodge activities, too.

No one was ~epo~d in the hospital other than those listed in my most recent report, but Sister Helen Haisler wa~ a King's Daughters Hospital patient for a blessed event: the birth of her second son, Jason. Congratulations, Jerry and Helen and, also to the grandparents!

The officers' and chairpersons' reports were good. Thanks to all who worked hard this month, again, because, withou~ou, the task would have been very difficult for those in charge.

The board minutes were read by secretary, Sister Lillian Kosarek.

Under new business some plumbing is needing repairs, so the work is to be taken care of immediately; also, Brother Willie Kohutek, the lodge financial secretary, has a new address: Willie E. Kohutek, Route 2, Box 320, Buckholts, Tx. 76518. If you are owing for insurance and local dues, forward these to the above address.

Youth Leader Shirley Patterson gave her report and stated that her mother, Assistant Youth Leader Sister Shenkir is at home recuperating from surgery.

Sister Dorothy Morris called Sister Patterson and volunteered to take her place at District II camp being she was needed at home and the hospital with her mother. Social is a movie August 19th.

Birthdays in August were: Sisters Theresa Chlapek, Vlasta . Hruska and Evelyn Heese and Brother Robert Heese. Happy birthday and ,many, many more! · No wedding anniversaries; it must not have been a popular month, but it

FEATURES FOUR SPJST GENERATIONS Joe M. Machu celebrated his 91 birthday recently. He has been a member of Lodge 20, Granger for 64 years. His son, Albin E. Machu, is also a member of Lodge 20, Granger and is presently serving on the property committee. Grandson, Albin F. Machu, is a member of Lodge 29, Taylor and is an insurance sales representative and serves as treasurer of his lodge.

Great-grandson, Terry Loessin, son of Leslie and Rubie (Machu) Loessin is a member of Lodge 20, Granger and is the present SPJST State King for 1979-80.

Approximately 100 guests from Granger, Taylor, Thorndale, Thrall, Austin, and Round Rock attended Mr. Machu's birthday party.

Joe Machu was married to the former Tracie Zetak. Since the death of his wife in 1968 he has lived alternately with his S children: Mrs. Frank (Hattie) Kollaja of Granger, Mrs. Bill (Sybil) Sťojanik of Austin, Mrs. Edward (Mildred) Townsend of Round Rock, Mrs. Edwin (Alice) Stojaník ofThrall, and Mr. Albin Machu of Granger. Another daughter, Mrs. Lad (Vlasta) Filla is now deceased.

He also has 23 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild.

There have been many changes that he has had to cope with. One of the biggest changes being the sale of 60 acres of his 65 -acre farm to the government as part of the Granger dam property. This left Mr. Machu five acres to move his house and windmill 80 feet from the original site. Machu then divided the five acres equally among his five children and had a well dug for each of them. Each of them has placed a windmill on their land. Machu's house is never vacant for the family still gathers together usually on Sundays to escape the hustle and bustle and noise for a time of peace and relaxation.

Machu is a member of the Granger Brethren Church and served as a church elder. He also served as a school trustee for many years of the Moravia school which once stood about four miles east of Granger.

Another change in his lifetime was the moving of the Machu cemetery, also because of the Granger Dam Project.

This cemetery had its beginnings in a spontaneous gesture of sympathy, kindness, generosity, ·anci goodwiff. Mr. Machu's grandfather, Pavel Machu, was returning home from Granger on

Along the way he met a woman in a wagon with several children. He noticed that she was very visably troubled and upset.

When he paused to seek out the cause for her distress he was shocked and saddened when the lady informed him that in the wagon with her and her four children was the body of her husband who had recently died. She went on to say how she had been trying since that morning to find a burial site at several cemeteries she had visited but without success. At that point Mr. Machu informed her to follow him for her search was over. He set aside three acres of land for this purpose which came to be known as the Machu cemetery. Over the period of years the cemetery became the site of 135 marked and 17 unmarked graves. The relocation of this cemetery was completed on May l, 1975 with Albin E. Machu, great ... great-grandson of the original donor, making the necessary arrangements.

When his eyesight began to fail a few years ago, cateract surgery was performed restoring his sight enough to enable him to continue reading which has always been his favorite pastime.

His enthusiasm and interest in his family and life in general remains sincere and steadfast to this day.

JOE NAISERS HONORED ON ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Joe F. Naiser were honored on their SOth wedding anniversary with a reception and dinner followed by a dance, on July 20, at 3 p.m. at the Taiton Community Center.

THE SAGA OF ERNST BERGMANN

area where the Bergmann family settled after immigration to Texas in 1850.

Trips were made to the grounds and hall of the Cat Springs Agricultural Society which Rev. Bergmann was instrumental in organizing. The great-grandchildren also visited the New Bremen area where a daughter Julia Bergmann, is believed to have lived after her marriage to Otto F. Meissner and where their mother was born.

Rev. Bergmann is credited with encouraging and starting the immigration of the Czechs and Moravians into Texas. He wrote letters extalling the many virtues of the free State of Texas and this started emigration from the Landskroun and Cermne area of the first group in 1852 and 1853. The descendants of Rev. Bergmann have been located in Texas, Colorado, California, Tennessee, Kansas and Georgia by Albert J. Blaha, Sr. After a search of 12 years, a photo of Rev. Bergmann and wife Marie has been found and their graves located at Corsicana. Also, a three-page autobiography in Rev. Bergmann's handwriting is in the possession of the family.

The diaries of Marie Bergmann and her descendants are being translated and a history of the family of Rev. Bergmann is being prepared by Dorothy Klumpp and Albert J. Blaha, Sr. Some very interesting incidents and unique experiences have been handed down through the 130 years that the Bergmann family has been in Texas.

These are being collected and will be included in the family history.

Everything went well; we had only a few minor injuries.

We did not cut any activities that were scheduled and all the youth members attending seemed to have had an enjoyable three days of camp.

We would like to thank all of the leaders, assistants, and chaperones who took time out of work to be able to attend and help out with camp. This is a big project and could not be carried out without everyone's help because we needed the help of everyone attending, so I hope you children, at least thanked your chaperones, leaders and assistants for their help in making the camp possible. We also want to thank the parents for bringing their children to and from camp and all the children for attending. We certainly hope you all had a good time.

The State YAD is next and that is August 24th at the Temple High School and then the Royalty Saturday, September 27th at Round Rock and that will conclude most of the activities for the summer.

By the time this is printed our fall District II meeting and Fellowship Day will be overwith. We hope you all had an enjoyable day.

We are planning a District II skating party this fall so keep in mind.

I also want to thank all the youth leaders and adults who helped in any way; you all brought delicious food, I must say and no one can say that they were left hungry.

In addition I want to thank our judges who took time out from their routine to

help us out on the winners; a job well-done! Everyone would have to see the solar cooker, a nine-year made, and the winner said it works.

I only hope that all these good items will be taken to state; so remember, if first place winner(s) cannot go to state, please inform me so the second place winner(s) can go to state.

ITEMS OF INTEREST

n

by Dan Trigoboff Music, in the eyes of Henry Kolar, has a natural life all it s own, and nurturing that life has given purpose to his own.

Kolar, a professor of music at USD and director of the University's Chamber Orchestra, covers music from all sides: he composes it, arranges it, performs it, and teaches others not only how to do those things, but how to appreciate the art form as well.

Kolar's life is music---his own and that of others.

That Kolar's life would take a musical direction is not surprising.

His father was a musician and teacher of music. The elder Kolar was a violinist, and it is this instrument that has become the principle tool in the work of his son. The father was the first teacher to the son, and in later years, he would glow with pride as young Henry bore out the family's musical promise as a performer and composer. â&#x20AC;˘ "I was able to do the things he'd always wished to do," Kolar says, recalling his late father. "But he never had the thorough formal education that I had; he had no theoretical background."

Kolar's childhood years were spent in Chicago, and it gave him the opportunity to study with members of Chicago's Symphony Orchestra.

Winning honors as a violinist in high school, Kolar went to DePaul University for his music degree, and then on to Northwestern for his Master's. He was later given the opportunity to study for a year at the Academy of Music in Vienna.

World War II cut the musician's career short for a spell, ("It's a far cry from a fiddler to a tail gunner," Kolar jokes) but he re-entered the world of music after the war, and came to San Diego in 1952.

Kolar has been at USD since 1958, and has divided his time between teaching, performing and composing.

He has performed in the San Diego Symphony (where he was concert

"What you write," he says, "depends, in a way, on what point in your life you're writing it. Compare what a composer writes when he or she is young and just out of school with what the y writ e fifteen years later. I thin t like to say that the style has improved; it may show maturity that the earlier piece didn't have. But it also might lack the passion and the emotion. I like to think that my own style has evolved rather than improved."

Proficiency, for Kolar, is a

Mesa College and in the San Diego City Schools system.

Chamber music is Kolar's favorite form of expression. "It's more intimate," he admits. "And for that reason, perhaps more interesting.

Chamber music is basically for small groups, to be played b y small groups, and listened to by smaller audiences than yoti d have for symphony orchestras. Music is a form of making a statement. It's a way in which a composer evokes a mood or a feeling. It can be a short statement, like in a series of aporisms, or a longer one, such as a symphony."

Kolar prefers the shorter statements, although the time it takes to

never-ending pursuit. His theory of evolution for composers is extended even to his teaching of the violin.

"Some teachers feel it takes five or

write shorter pieces can be far longer

six years to master any instrument,"

25 day (pa nedeli). "Stteda" is the day in the middle of the week (middle • stied). "Ctvrtek"is the fourth day of the week (fourth — etvrd). "Melt" is the fifth day (fifth — pati). "Sobota" has its origin in the biblical Sabath. "Neale" is the day when the Lord orders us not to work (Mat — to work; nedelat — not to work). This explanation of the origin of the words may perhaps help you to remember them better.

In most of Europe, there was one more holiday at Easter — "Pondeli Ve — (Easter Monday).

That was the day for gaity. After six weeks of Lent, the time of sacrifice, came Easter Day (Hod Boil velikonodni), as a day of rejoicing because of Christ's Resurrection, but that still was a day full of deep religious meaning — a solemn day. Adding of another holiday on Monday gave opportunity for more wordly signs of joy. The boys, from toddlers to young unmarried men, were pursuing girls with gaily decorated whips made of young willow branches. The girls could avoid a "whipping" only by offering the fellows fancily-painted Easter eggs.

Some were fresh eggs while the more elaborately painted ones were only shells. They were fine examples of folk art. In the Eastern part of the country, the customs called also for practical jokes like pouring of cold water over an unspe"ting victim, etc. it was not unusual to have a dance en Monday just to give an outlet to the sivacity of the people pinned up during Lent.

Another occasion for a celebration is the Namesday or the Birth day. In this country, one's Namesday is rarely celebrated, but in Czechoslovakia, it is put on the same level as the Birthday. On the days of popular patron saints, such as St. Joseph, St. Wenceslaus (Vaclav) or St. Anna, it is not uncommon to have bands of musicians go ing from one Joseph's house to another and serenading him. Also dances are often organized on the nearest Saturday and named Josef Viciayska or Annenska zabava. The word "zabava" stands for entertainment, but is often used also to mean dance. On one's Namesday or Birthday, people are congratulated as follows: Viecko nejlepii k svatku — Everything best for your Namesday. viecko nejlep gi k narozeninian — Everything best for your birthday At'astne a vesele narozeniny — hap py birthday mnoho Stesti, zdravi a spokojenosti — good health and much happi• ness.

All the above can be preceded by "I wish you" In Czech - ."Pfejl vim" or "ell W Ti". The first is the polite and the latter the familiar form. The word "zdravi" stands for health, "Atesti" for happiness, "spo kojenost "for satisfaction, "narozeniny" for birthday, and "svatek for namesday. As you can see, the above English translation of "mno ho §testi, zd ravi spokojenosti" is not a literal one. Learn the above phrases and use them in greeting those of your friends who know Czech. They will be appreciated.
