From The Editor NAME I have fallen in love with American names, The sharp names that never get fat, The snakeskin-titles of mining-claims, The plumed war-bonnet of Medicine Hat, Tucson and Deadwood and Lost Mule Flat.

—Stephen Vincent Benet He left a name, at which the world grew pale, To point a moral or adorn a tale.

—Johnson My name is Legion: for we are many.

—New Testament What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; —Shakespeare Recently, your editor received a letter in Czech language from SL President Morris in which was enclosed a letter, also in Czech and sent to the Supreme Lodge address from a Jindrich (Henry) Chyska from Czechoslovakia. It was published in the August 13 Vestnik issue on page 26 and, as Bro. Morris pointed out, we do not know just what type of records Mr. Chyska would like to exchange: whether they would be jazz, country-western, rock and roll or disco, etc. In essence here is what he writes.

(Translation): "I greet you from the old country. I received your SPJST address and maybe you can help me.

I am interested in "popular music" from contemporary groups in the United States. I would like to exchange records with someone for records recorded in Czech or others.

I would appreciate your help and thank you in advance.

My address is: Jindrich Chyska, Revolucni 664, Kralupy n. Vlt. II. okres Melnik CSSR-Europe."

The 1980 presidential conventions are over and this editor, dares to state that his personal feelings are that in comparison our SPJST June 1980 Convention in San Antonio was, indeed, very democratically conducted.

Now we will have the political campaigns, promises and speeches. A writer wrote once: "I do not see why anyone would want to be president."

Wednesday, August 27, 1980 Thomas Jefferson, on leaving office stated: The office brings nothing but increasing drudgery and loss of friends.

Never did a prisoner released from his chains feed such relief as I shall on shaking of the shackles of power."

THE CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS AND BY-LAWS It is expected that the completed (printed) Proceedings from the recent convention will be completed in the near future and that this early completion will probably set a record, since these have generally not been completed until late in the year after the convention or even early the following year. I hesitate giving you a date at this time, however.

The initial proofs of the convention Proceedings are expected to be delivered to us next week (week of August 25th). The four convention secretaries will then meet, go over the Proceedings, make their corrections, and return them to the printer for final printing in booklet form. Article 18 (c) of our by-laws states that: "A copy of the convention minutes shall be sent to the secretary of each lodge, all delegates of the convention, members of the By-Law Committee, and all members upon request."

The same is true in the case of the completed (printed) by-laws. The initial proofs have been sent to the members of the By-Law Committee and as soon as they meet and make any corrections, the project will then go to the printer for final printing in booklet format. Article 18 (a) of our by-laws states that: "The Supreme Lodge determines the number of copies of by-laws to be printed and furnishes copies of the by-laws to lodges, and members only upon request," The above information is for those who may be wondering about the status of the two projects.

Fraternally, Nick A. Morris President Supreme Lodge, SPJST

Dear Members: The meeting was called to order. Alan Haisler presented the United States flag and led us in the pledge of allegiance.

We also remained standing in silent tribute in memory of our deceased member, Brother Martin Zabcik.

We are sorry to hear that one of our members, Sister Gladys Tyroch hurt her leg and is on crutches; hopefully, it will heal soon.

Susan Tyroch's grandparents, Brother Ben and Sister Gladys Tyroch, received a report that Susan won first runner-up in the National Twirling Contest. We are proud of her because she competed with so many contestants; it was an honor just to get that far, so Susan: Congratulations! Sister Nelda Marek, secretary, read a correspondence from Susan thanking the lodge for the monetary donation to help with her expenses.

Our thanks to all the ladies for bringing the sweets and the kitchen chairman, Sister Irene Hoelscher, and her helpers for the food they prepared for the District II Youth Achievement Day, for all these things are important to keep our lodge activities going.

We are proud to report that we have

Lodge No. 24 members want to let Sister Vlasta Marek know that we are sorry to hear about the loss of her home plus all her belongings in a fire and we hope the donation of $250 will help to rebuild her home.

The SPJST 50-year membership pin presentations' event held Sunday, August 17th was a nice program. We wish to thank the committee consisting of Sisters: Pat Sebek, Norma Andel and LaVerne Cabla. Our thanks also to Sister Louise Zavodny for getting the pictures because the camera acted up and we were afraid that we wouldn't have any pictures. I also want to thank Doris Svoboda and Clara Coufal for pitching in and taking colored pictures.

We were lucky to get the camera working before the happenings were over; we have some black and white pictures that I will be sending to the Vestnik accompanying a story.

By winning we had another game at 7:10 p.m. against Custom Home Builders. We lost this game by a score of 8 to 1 and were thereby eliminated from the tournament. We had a tired pitcher and Tommy Yates started his fourth game in two nights, and held his own for 4 innings, the score being 2 to 1, however, in the next inning, they scored 3 more runs, so we gave him a rest.

Danny Yates pitched the next 2 innings allowing 3 runs and that was the 'ole' ballgame because we did not score anymore runs. Tommy Yates allowed 6 hits, 1 walk and 5 runs, and Danny Yates hurled the last 2 innings allowing 3 runs, 4 hits and no walks.

Leading hitters were Don Jarma with a homerun, a single and a walk, Kerry Goad with a single and Al (Bino) Vrana with a single.

Considering the fact we had three of our regular players missing plus one of our regular pitchers, that wasn't too bad of a showing in the tournament: 2 wins and 2 losses, a 6th place finish.

I would have to say had we had all our players present, we would have finished a lot higher. My thanks to all the players who were able to make the games, and especially the 6:30 p.m. game, away cross town at Kiest Park, it took a great effort to just get to the games on time.

This our season of playing ball comes to a close; we had a rewarding as well as a good season, however, it could have been better if all of our players could have been at all our games; some had problems due to working hours and schedules on out-of-town trips; but, nevertheless, we gave a good account of ourselves at most of the games.

We did finish tied for second place in a 12-team City Major Fast Pitch League and we won a trophy to add to our collection in our trophy case. Although we tied with three other teams, we should have been t e only • team in second place.

We will have our annual awards banquet, possibly the Sunday of September 7th, however, this date is still not definite and our annual team fishing trip will be the weekend of

Wednesday, August 27, 1980 September 19, 20 and 21 at Lake Whitney, Texas.

My thanks to to the mother lodge and to all our sponsors and also to United Glass who sponsored a couple of our tournaments; without all your help, we could not have fielded a team this season.

My special thanks to my assistant, Jerry Zabojnik for handling the team when I had to miss some games.

(Incidentally, I believe Jerry and the team will be in a Fall League starting in September for five games). Also my thanks and appreciation to all the players' wives who attended most of our games and cheered for the team, it really amounted to an all-out team effort.

This season is my last one as an active manager and coach will always be treasured as an enjoyable event which I will always cherish.

My thanks to everyone who helped make such a great year for our team.

Fraternally, Ben Jarma --SPJST -

LIBRARY,

ARCHIVES, MUSEUM

Dear Members: Recently, I had a . good friend and member tell me: "I have noticed you asking for a "Go Devil Cultivator" for the museum, just what does a Go Devil cultivator look like?" Not having any pictures of it I searched some old Sears catalogs and found a picture of it. Some of these fine old tools had wood slides and may be rotted out by now, I can always replace the rotted wood and

13

"GO-DEVIL" Cultivator rebuild it, just if I could get the steel parts; I even have a seat that I could put on it. I hope someone can give us one of these old pioneer tools; it would help to round out our Pioneer tool display.

W also need a small Windmill preferrably steel, badly. What we need is the head, wheel and vane, we can build the stand; it can be either for a wood tower or steel, it has to be not larger than a 5-ft. wheel; we have an eight and a half foot ceiling where it will go. A windmill would also help us build a good pioneer farm display. If you have one that you don't need, even if the wheel is damaged, please let us know and we will pick it up.

We also need an old-fashioned wood ice box a small size would be preferred to round out our pioneer kitchen; most of these ice boxes held up to a 75-pound piece of ice; some were loaded from the top and others from the front of the ice box.

All these, when received, will be reconditioned before being displayed and each item will carry a card in both Czech and English languages showing who donated the item and it will advertise you as a donor forever. Your help to make the SPJST museum (your museum outstanding) is appreciated.

Now to tell you of the progress we are making in the move into the basement: the hole for the steps is open, most of the studding is in place and the wall board is now being applied; it will be something that will make every SPJST member proud of the LAM division. We will have room to make our displays outstanding.

To the many donors who have already donated to the Library, Archives and Museum I want to sincerely thank you for its your fine donations that have made our museum what it is and what it will be when we get it completed in the move to the basement.. As I watch the progress in the work and see the room we will have I just swell' with pride.

In conclusion I still need a small old-dilapidated building from which I can get enough old weather-worn lumber to build a small blacksmith shop 6 feet

wide by 8 feet long and 6 and a half feet high; I promise to make a nice sign and place it on the blacksmith shop with the name of the donor. For instance if John Jones donates the material for the blacksmith shop I will make a sign "John Jones Blacksmith Shop" and this will be placed right over the entrance of the shop and that will remain there forever, isn't that worth it? If you have any of these important items please let us hear from you and we will advise you when we can pick it up.

Fraternally yours, Otto Hanus LAM Dept.

The youth club did real well in games, cake walk, auction, fish pond and youth booth. I want to thank ,:ach of you for the donations for all the booths and also those of you who helped and worked. Thank you very much) Twelve of our youth members and two adults went to Camp Val Verde. I stayed one day: They all had a good time and had lots of fun. I hope more can go next year.

Next activity is our Westfest for August 30th and 31st. We are very busy baking kolache, bread, jelly rolls and strudels.

We need some help with baking, also need some helpers in the booth. We are going to have a float in the parade; we will be Working on it next week.

District I had camp at Val Verde on August 13 - 16 with around 100 campers: Warrenton Lodge 179 had 15 participants. We were not the largest group nor the smallest. Old friendships were renewed and new ones made. To come home with a lost of addresses and phone numbers is not uncommon. The food was really good. Camp activities remain the same; swimming twice a day, archery, crafts, canoeing, plus some extra activities such as outdoor

20 games, horse-back riding, dancing, card playing and a movie. Then there are those extras!

For those of you who have, never gone to camp we thought we would summarize just a few of those items that made District I camp different and special.

--The sun did shine and the wind did blow a breeze-most of the time.

--Plenty of good food but why did Cornelia get the paddle after Jeanette, Staci and Kathy the very first meal?

--Theresa Martin and Deidra Kocurek promptly established their Oske family.

--Cabin 3 followed with the Contestkey's clan.

--Billy Budnik was great with his little boys. Billy never gets warm-always fully dressed in long-sleeved western shirt, jeans, western belt and of course cowboy boots/a mile hike and not even a damp shirt.

--Emil Kocurek hiked his group to archery at 2 p.m. and said he didn't need any water either.

--What about that water fight between the teenagers; at least that is more acceptable than that ice cream fight!

--Have you had a chance to visit with Jerry? He knows a little about every subject-including girls!!

--Our life guard, Mark, became the heart throb of all the little girls!

--Why did Robin get thrown in the pool, clothes and all; then Melinda was packed from the mess hall and pitched in but how did Billy get all wet?

--Why did that one cabin of brave boys have light all night?

--What about that guy who caught the little snake-and the guy who caught the big snake-don't you know that 10-12 girls do not likes snakes-neither do Doris and Marlene!

--Anita Sebesta said the snakes didn't bother her but those two gorillas Thursday night were a different story!

--Who let the gorilla in cabin 10 - it breathed on George - what a hysterical awakening! What did Dick know about this?

--Who were those extra girls who came for supper Wednesday night and proceeded to model their goods? Could Mike win Miss Photogenic?

--Then there was the Walt Disney costume parade.

--Are those monsters really on Mars?

--Melinda's farewell scrapbook momento-Thanks for everything!

--Who were the bandits who kidnapped Father Isidore Friday dinner-masked faces, guns and horses for the get-away! Next time bring a rope for your hostage's horse so it won't run away from you!

--How did you answer the Easterling Poll "Do you think the USA should export chicken lips to Iran?" 4 a.m. was not the best time for that question!

--UNO was the camp NO. I game took care of free time and nap time.

--Did Sandra win the UNO tournament? or Kellen?

--Free time for Susan Trcalek was Boggie time! Just how many contests did you judge?

--Did that big fat lizard walk into the cabin by itself?

--What kind of magazine did Sue and Melissa confiscate?

--What about those grasshoppers in the showers?

--What tornado demolished cabin No. 3?

--Was there a stranger in cabin 5 that frightened the girls?

--Betty left too early to see the sand in her bed-the other teenage girls decided the sand on the floor was worse than the sand in their bed.

--Dorothy Massey brought a tape to Vespers about the Cults. They are friendly before they get you - not true for Dorothy's 2 poodles v/s Bowseralmost had a full-scale dog fight!

--How many fingers got burned on the donuts?

--Then came the Indians. We silently watched them light the camp fire and do their ritual-but who expected a war path to run through the camp cookout!

--What does Marlene know about the prowler around cabin 4 Friday night?

Wednesday, August 27, 1980 --What did that skunk do when Allen tried to pick it up?

--Then Denise captured Arphie The Lone Star Mascot'. He checked out the mess hall and camp staff quarters - no Lone Star!

--What did that armadillo do in cabin 5? It really took a whole roll of toilet paper?

--How did cabin 3 get locked from the inside? Thank God for little girls!

--Why did Jeanne dive out of the canoe -- in 6 inches of water?

--Why did Kellen take so long to return from his canoe trip?

--How many girl friends did PeeWee have?

--Why did it rain only on Rhonda at 3 a. m. ?

--Why did the teenagers decide to delay breakfast 'till 8:30 Saturday morning? All the younger campers and chaperones were there - spent the extra hour playing cards!

--Who put the underwear on the flag pole? Flag Ceremony Saturday morning: We pledge allegiance to the underwear of Melinda Wilson for all the fun, good sportsmanship, good times and good will of the entire camp staff, leaders and participants to make this one of the best camps ever.

--And last Mrs. Massey received the door prize - a door.

I was chaperone for the 8-9 year old girls in cabin 3. We went to bed at 10 p.m. Wonder how much we missed - the teenagers' bed time was midnight!

Dear Readers, Our last meeting was held August 10th. Next month we will have our annual dance. The theme is the "Country Hoedown Dance." It will be held September 6th from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., with music by Jodie Mikula.

In the kitchen we will be serving klobase sandwiches and coffee. You all be sure and come. You will have a swinging time.

Everybody from Lodge No. 130 who entered something in YAD won at least first place and will be representing District III in Temple.

Everyone had a great time at Camp Val Verde. The weather was nice and cool. The water in the river was cool but felt good. The water was low but we could still canoe. In crafts we made pencilholders by weaving white plastic strips. In archery we learned how to load the arrows on to the bow, and if you hit the bull's eye you got a free cold drink. We got to go horseback riding two times. We went through the river and the forest. Galloping on the horses was fun. Swimming was a relief. The water was cool and felt good. We had a beauty contest at the swimming pool.

The categories were most graceful, most far-out and funky, and weirdest.

One person from each cabin had to enter. The parties on the tennis court were fun. We danced Amos Moses and Little Black Book. We played a lot of games too.

I want to thank Mr. Kamas and Mrs. Massey and the counselors and leaders for making Camp Val Verde the best!

Dear Vestnik Readers, The Taiton SPJST Youth Club will have their next meeting September 7th at the Taiton Community Center, at 2:30 p.m. The adult meeting will be held at 1:30 p.m.

Pfitonthe JoAa 14va sam na 45 akrove fame od roku 1913. Jell° matka Agnes (Pohofil) Ulakova byla narozena dile 15. listopadu 1892 na farme pM Seaton tam, kde bjr vit neetnik Hlavni efaclovny Jerry Mikula g , Dal g i deti manhlo Frank a Marie Pobofil se tam take narodily: Josef, Frank a Alhina Sta g ova. Josef mel v poll nesklizenou Arodu maize a kukufice. Ba y lnu nepestuje po nekolik roku. Joka bj, va sam, pravil e je mu teskno; tak to 14va. Zfistal starjr tn mladencem. Byl odveden do slOeb vojenskj■ ch na vjrchodni frontu porrzet Japonce. Kdyz po tech letech se vratil domn, shledal, ze to vojna mu zkazila plany. Byl v g ak vernjr ku svojim rodieum. Zustal s nimi di do konce jejich odchodu na yeenjr odpoeinek; vgechno, co jsme tam videli, byli 3 hafani, jeden uvazan na fete;:u a dva volni; jeden nejvet gi nas vital pfatelsky, ale ti dva na nas hafani, na schodech u domu na nas zvedave nahledalo kot'atko. Ovocna zahrada a stinne stromy hodne porAstly za ty roky. Nektere elmy a hackberry jsou pies sto roku stare, Rozloueili se a jell dale do znameho mista v Red Ranger. Shledal jsem tam zmenti, nejen v obchodni budove, ktera je vetgi a modernej gi, ale i v majitelich.

Prvni obchodni budovu a domek obyvaci postavili na najatern pozemku od majitele p. Geistmana, man'*:ele Frank Rdniekovi v roku 1910. V to dobu byla postavena nova g kola, take pojmenovana Red Ranger. Tato se nalezala na majetku, kterj7 vlastnili maniele John 2abeikovi. Byla na severni stranu od toho obchodu. Vedle toho obchodu p.

Fr. Fabian si postavil domek a kovarnu.

Vgecky tyto budovy jsou prye, pozemek je v poli a obdelavan. kola byla zrugena a g kolni bus dovai vgecky deti Skolniho veku do g koly v Rogers. Frank AezniCek trpel nemoci jmenem vodnatelnost.

Obchod tento vykoupil p. Vilem neb Frank Marek. Jeho man'2"elka byla Petfekova. To se udalo v roku 1914, za

nekolik roku tento obchod vykoupili man etc Henry Jakuhlkovi. Pak pozdeji ten obehod vykoupili manhle Raymond a Aloisie Markovi. Tito zemfeli take pornerne je g te. mladi. Zaneehali dye decry, jedna jmenem Louise se pros/data za p. Peneika. Ma0ele Raymond Markovi pfestehovali ty budovy na nove misto asi pill mile na jinni stranu, kde se testy kMuji. Jedna vede na vjrchod na Meeks, druha na jich do Rogers. Po smrti p. P g eneika, jeho inanelka se znovu provdala za pana Jerry Zavodneho. Byla to nova znamost ueinena, s temito nynel gitni majiteli. JA znaval jejich rodiee i pra-rodiee.

Co jsme tak mluvili spoldne, pfigel mezi nas jeden gedesatnik potfasti si se mnou ruku. Pfedstavil se mi slovy: "Ja Vas znarn. Moje jmeho je Coufal. Jak jste bjrvali v Holland a meli tam &Ana, tak my jsme s Vami dzinovali nag1 bavinu, to bylo 1934-35-36." Pravil, ted' bjrva tam v okoli Red Ranger. 'Milo mne takove pfivitani; velice si toho Pani Zavodna: Ta Va g e mlada vjrpomocna kuchafka, Vas dobie zastupuje ve Va g i nepfitomnosti. Ty objednane hamburky dobie chutnaly.

V roce 1978 pfijelo temef dvacet miliOna zahranienich navgtevnika (pro srovnani: Ceskoslovensko ma patnact miliOna obyvatel), pfedstavuje desetiprocentni zvjrgeni oproti roku pfedeglemu.

Vetg inou jde o navg tevniky ze sousednich socialistickych static, zejmena z NDR, Mad'arska a Polska. Z ostatnich zemi se do Ceskoslovenska pfijelo podivat pfes jeden milion osob, z toho padesat procent z NSR a Rakouska, nisleduji turiste z Italie, USA a Francie.

Hlavni pfiliv turista nastiva na sklonku

A co navgtevniky Ceskoslovenska tolik pfitahuje? Neni toho malo: ze tficeti deviti moinYch turistickYch zajimavosti, ktere uvadi Mezinarodni sdruIeni odbornikii cestovniho ruchu, chybi teto zemi jen jedine: more.

Na malem eeskoslovenskem azemi (128 tisic km2) je vytypovano gedesatsedm oblasti cestovniho ruchu a rekreace o celkove plo g e 90 tisic etvereenich kilometre! Statni pfirodni rezervace a chranene krajinne oblasti zahrnuji pies devet set Uzemnich celka a lokalit. Mezi nimi jsou i tfi narodni parky (Krkonoge, Vysoke a Nizke Tatry) a dve statni
