DEADLINE FOR MATERIAL TO BE ACCEPTED FOR THE FOLLOWING ISSUE IS THURSDAY,

From The Editor WHAT YOU GIVE, YOU GET If you walk along the path of life, You'll find this saying true; The way you treat folks you meet, Is the Way they will treat you!

If you give a smile, you'll get a smile; A frown will make a frown, too; For what you give to other folks, Is what they'll give to you.

If you want a friend, you must be a friend, Is a safe rule to pursue; To know how you treat other folks, Just watch how they treat you.

It is hard to wear a sunbeam face When you are feeling blue; And yet, I say, 'tis the better way, For it gilds a face for you.

A CORRECTION: In last week's issue of the Vestnik on page 10 under Features was a picture of Mrs. Darrell Uptmor which was a mistake and we regret overlooking the misnomer; the cutline should have read Mrs. Douglas Uptmor.

Our sincere apology to Mrs. Uptmor for the oversight which was our fault. Paula Denise, we know that you married Douglas and not Darrell; your editor understands that Darrell received a large amount of kidding about this; Darrell, your time is coming! Take it with a grin. * ** From personal letters and footnotes received we know and realize you enjoy receiving the weekly Vestnik and will strive to make it even better and more interesting as time goes on. By all means, remember that this is YOUR Society and your paper; as long as you are interested we certainly will do our utmost to please you.

This week we are printing an article sent to us by Sister Louise Kadlecek from the Monday, June 30, 1980 issue of the Houston Chronicle in the "Metro News" section and a later comment in a later issue in "Viewpoints." We feel they will interest you and regret we waited so long to print the articles; Sister Louise sent them July 15th.

We thank Sister Louise and appreciate her comments.

Your editor knew and remembers all the people mentioned in the article. The Bederkas, Smesnys, and Matalskis, etc. were all neighbors of yours truly; real down-to-earth nice people!!

FRATERNALISM INSURES TOGETHERNESS

Supreme Lodge, a thank you for the graduation money forwarded to Brother Michael Merka, a thank you from Brother Joe Lee Kruse for the get-well cards he has received from the lodge and also acknowledgement from the families of deceased Brothers William J. Chaloupka, William Schwenke and James Biskup for the floral wreaths sent to their loved one's funeral services.

The Investigating Committee recommended and we voted to accept the following to Lodge No. 47: Sharon Kaye Ross, John Lawrence Fitzgerald, Calvin Culpepper, Eugene Emil Marak, Jerilyn Jane Williams, Kelly Lynn Williams, Michael Dwayne Williams, Amanda Jo Hobbs, Emily Ann Dohnalik, David Dohnalik, Delores Dohnalik, Debora Dohnalik, Diane Dohnalik; and Robert L. Lastovica converted his policy. A warm welcome to each of those named and we had hoped you would have been present at the lodge meeting.

Get-well cards had been sent to Brothers Joe Lee Kruse and Albert L. Krupka, and Sister Rosemary Orsag. At the meeting we were informed that Brother Tom Merka is entering a hospital for surgery. We are hoping the days are few before perfect health is yours again.

Transfers to Lodge No. 177 were: Pamela L. (Kapriva) Bowmer, Larry Wayne Pechal, and Brandon K. Pechal and to Lodge No. 66 was Sara Annell McCauley.

Because September 7th was Grandparents Day, Brother Pechal asked all who are grandparents to stand, which was the majority of the members present, so "Happy Grandparents Day"; a little late to all readers who are grandfathers and grandmothers.

In officers' reports, the president thanked Brother Emil and Sister Frances Hejl for donating their pay due for gasohol meetings back to the lodge.

Thanks! Others giving reports were: Treasurer Sister Delores Skrabanek and Financial Secretary Willie Kohutek; bar, kitchen and ticket chairpersons gave very good reports for August. Thanks to all who worked in their various capacities this last month. We appreciate Sister Martha Klusacek volunteering for the kitchen for September. Board minutes were read by Lillian Kosarek. The subject of revising the dress code for the Saturday night dances was brought up.

After some discussions, Parliamentarian Anton Motl stated that we can vote on any change in the Rules and Regulations without thirty days notice in the Vestnik, so it still stands: Ladles admitted in dresses only; men no blue jeans.

VI STNIK

8 New business was the selection of Brothers Frank Klinkovsky, Anton Vitek and Robert Heese on the setting of salaries for officers in 1981. I can't believe another year is almost over.

Sister Shirley Patterson gave the youth leader's report and also outlined the socials for the remainder of the year.

Birthdays being observed by Sisters Annie Jakubec, Dorothy Morris, Mary Kohutek, Frances Hejl, Ginger Klusacek, and Brother Emil Hejl in the month of September were acknowledged; also wedding anniversaries of Brother Calvin and Sister Dolores Skrabanek and Brother Victor and Sister Lillie Cervenka were brought to our attention. "Happy Birthday" and "Happy Anniversary" to all those named.

Brother Clarence Sodek stated the third quarterly audit is set for September 30th, at 7:30 p.m.

Names of recipients of premium refund checks were read by the lodge secretary and those present picked theirs up after the meeting.

Door prizes were won by Sisters Mary Kohutek and Louise Marek.

Brother Frank E. Hejl, Jr. gave a brief review of his trip with other area residents to the homeland of their ancestors, Czechoslovakia. I am sure he can give anyone a very interesting account of their tour.

A lunch and happy hour followed the adjournment of the meeting. Our next lodge meeting was set for Sunday, September 28, 1980, at 2 p.m. due to the Choral Club's trip and participation at Czech Day at the State Fair, October 5th, our regular date.

Dear Members: First of all, I want to thank you for your visits, prayers, calls and cards after my eye surgery on August 12th. I had a cateract removed from my left eye, and it is doing allright, the doctor said; though it is hard to get used to seeing with one eye for the time being.

We will have our lodge meeting September 18 at 7:30 p.m. at 407 Ling in Bayou Vista, so come out and enjoy a c )ol evening.

Since we had our "Galveston Wurst Best" in July, I haven't been able to thank you all for your donation of pastries, etc. Also thank you to all of those who worked in the booth for two days while we were there. It was a lot of hard work, but it turned out profitable; then you wonder if it's worth it! Some members still will complain; it is hard to please everybody.

I hope all of you throughout the state had a nice rain by the time you read this, it sure has been dry and hot this summer.

Come to the meeting, it will be cooler by then; I look forward to seeing you there. it d y

LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Our lodge meeting held September 8 had a fair attendance with one visitor, Mrs. Ruth Watkins present.

Youth Leader Mary Frances Wahlberg, as usual, had an interesting report of the month's activities. To entertain the assembly, she presented three young ladies, Debbie Wehring, Vivian Hegwood and Margie Barcak with a dance; this was enjoyed by all.

Marie Stayton was reported out of the hospital after a month's stay. We are glad she is well again.

A long list of birthdays was announced and the "Birthday" song rang out from the assembly; also three wedding anniversaries: Dorothy and Larry Pflughaupt, 15 years; Joyce and Melcolm Mynar, 19 years; and for Willie Mae and Jerry Ermis, 25 years (they got married on Jerry's birthday, 25 years ago). The refreshments were donated by Irma and Joe Zucha, and Tillie and Vladimir Bily.

Thanks to the donors.

Two lodge members, Marian Kadlecek and Gail Bollum, are players on the UNI Oil Ladies' Slow-Pitch Softball Team and participated in the Ladies' National Tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio on August 29 through September 1, 1980; as you will recall, Marian injured her ankle playing in April of this year, but you can't hold her down; she is back in high heels and playing tennis and some softball. Her friend and partner, Gail Bollum, was very anxious to return back to Houston where her fiance Forrest waited at the airport. An early spring wedding is planned by the two love birds.

Good luck!

After one month's vacation, Rosalee and Tim Kostom, are back from touring Europe, as they do every year visiting Rosalee's cousins. Their first stop was Bystfice by Benegov with cousins Vlasta and Stana Mikolaiek; also their daughter who teaches school in Bratislava. In Prague (Praha) they enjoyed their friends the lovely couple Jan and Slavka Kupka (they visited the states last year being house guests of Rosalee and Tim). In Ceska Tiebova they visited with Marie and Jaroslav Pajer, the parents of Marie Kostomlatsky, who with her husband Paul and daughter Paula made their home here in Houston and now are members of Lodge No. 88. Next, they toured Vienna and Salzburg in Austria. In Frankfurt, Germany they stayed with friends Slavinka and Ernest Reiter and son Michael. Slavinka is the daughter of Jan and Slavka Kupka in Prague, Czechoslovakia; then on to Brussels, Belgium to visit a few days with friends Mina and Patrick Bossuyt and on to Antwerp, Amsterdam, Holland and now they are glad to be home even in 102-degree weather here in Houston.

Sister Naomi Spencer winged to Oklahoma City to visit, for a week, with her sister Ruth and brother-in-law Frank Kurz while her husband Arnold held down the home front, and she escaped the hot weather for few days.

Over the weekend of Labor Day, a group of nine couples took a fling to Las Vegas to try Lady Luck and bring back some of the riches back home. They boarded the, plane Friday and returned Monday late at night. The expressions on their faces did not disclose any disappointments of their venture; all showed satisfaction of their weekend vacation of enjoying the trip and company of each other and roaming the night life city until wee hours of the morning. Enjoying this fabulous weekend were: Willie and Edna Wehring, Larry and Dorothy Pflughaupt, John and Clara Broz, Bill and Pat Neskorik, Gene and Georgie Barcak, Ed and Polly Klessel, Milton and Gladys Eloff, Bill and Marceil Malak, Mildred, our lodge president, and her son Henry.

What a group!

President A. Zvolanek called the meeting to order. A warm welcome was extended to the guests.

The pledge of allegiance to the U.S. flag was repeated and officers of the Fort Worth Circles were introduced.

Other guests were Jana Vanc and Betty Slovacek, also several men folk from Fort Worth and Dallas. Total present was about 106. That is quite a number.

President A. Zvolanek read a lovely card signed by the members of the Friendship Club and the Ladies' Circle 92 of Fort Worth, thanking the Dallas Circle for inviting them. The regular order of business was dispensed with until out October meeting.

Corresponding Secretary L. Pavelka read a "thank-you" note from Sister F. Schweizer for the gift received while in the hospital. Sister M. Stransky spent a few days in Baylor Hospital for tests.

Sister Anna and Bill King have returned from a trip to Hawaii. Sister B. Malik left this week to vacation in Westcliff, Colorado. Tom and I took off for a couple of days and drove to Brady, Texas to the Cabrito (goat) Cookoff August 30. It was a lot of fun; however, we did not sample any of the cooked meat. I have eaten it before and it is very good.

Bowling season has started. I have not bowled all summer on account of foot surgery but am ready to get started this week. Last May my team won the second place trophy, so, you see, we are not so bad.

To those of you who wanted to know if I am Czech. Yes, I am. I speak, read, and write it. Thanks to my dear father, Wesley Tupy. All 8 of us children have this ability and are very proud of it.

Wednesday, September 17, 1980 Once again let me say that we enjoyed the fellowship with the Fort Worth ladies. Let's do it again, sometimes. On behalf of the Circle, I want to thank all the ladies and gentlemen, who helped in the kitchen and in any other way, also Sister A. Vlk for providing the Czech record music. Everyone enjoyed it and it made the work in the kitchen a little easier.

Our next meeting will be October 2.

See you at Czech Day at the Fair!

THE BRAZOSPORT COLLEGE

CZECH CLUB The Czech Cultural Club held its first meeting of the fall semester Thursday evening, September 4, 1980, at the Brazosport College.

David Korenek, president, called the meeting to order. One guest, Mrs. David Korenek, was present at the meeting.

A short business meeting was held during which we voted on a few proposals on amendment changes to our club's constitution. A member, Mrs. Dorothy Tepera, who made an extended trip to Europe and Czechoslovakia this past summer, shared with us many delightful photos of the country and told of the many exciting events and points of extreme interest on her trip.

For our next meeting which will be a social meeting, the club has accepted an invitation to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vic Motl in Clute. They have also toured the Czechland and would like to share their experiences with us.

FRIENDSHIP CLUB We have finally seen some relief from the 100 plus temperatures and the past few days have received a little rain, not enough but every little bit helps, and we are expected to get some more late this afternoon and evening.

Our vacation was very enjoyable and our first stop was at Sacred Heart Convent in Lisle, Illinois where we went to see Sister Charlotte and all the other Benedictine nuns who taught in the Fort Worth area. Everything was so pretty and green and their garden was beautiful and the surroundings are lovely. We

11

stopped to see Roy and Lydia Alholm's son, Tony and his family in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Then we were off to Phillips, Wisconsin where it was nice and cool and flowers blooming everywhere. Davenport, Iowa was hot and sticky while we were there and when we got to Lincoln, Nebraska it was quite warm. We attended the Pia Mor Polka Days in Lincoln and had two-and-onehalf days of polka bands playing. We met the bus load that left from Dallas, with a lot of our friends from Fort Worth and some from San Antonio. Roy and Lydia Alholm drove up and, from Lincoln, went to Minnesota to visit Roy's mother; and then to Illinois to visit with son Tony and his family. The "Mac" McMillens, John Murphys, and Rudy Wrubles also drove up from Fort Worth.

Everyone had a wonderful time even if it was hot. I almost forgot Lad Maly from Azle, Texas; his brother Paul and wife Otilla from Garber, Oklahoma were with us the entire trip.

I want to thank Lydia Alholm for taking the minutes for me at our August meeting. Guests attending were Doris Burnett and Jack Ryder. Birthday for August was Irene Zubb. "Happy Birthday" was sung, and a meal was served and games played.

Hostesses for the September meeting were Jennie Kroll and Gertrude Johnston.

Don't forget October 1st, we will not have a meeting but will meet at St. Thomas no later then 7:15 a.m. for the Tesco trip to Fairfield for a tour at the lignite coal plant. The bus is supposed to leave at 7:30 a.m. so please be on time. If you cannot go and signed your name, please call me at 237-4320 so I can get someone in your place because we have more names and maybe someone else can go in your place.

Since we will not have a meeting October 1st, we discussed family night and decided to have it November 5th, beginning at 6 p.m. Members and their family living at home are free and guests $2.50 for adults and $1.75 for children to age 12, so mark this down on your calendar and call me if you want to know what to bring.

A card was read from Mary Pavey thanking the members for their thoughts and prayers while she was ill.

"Happy. Birthday" was sung to Annie Belota, Josephine Bugaj and Mary Ann Krivanek.

I hope to see you October 1st at 7:15 a.m.; also remember, November 5th at 6 p.m. for family night.

L to R: Rusty Swanson, Debbie Syrinek, Dave Clark, Royce McCarley, and Candy Huff. See schedule of events in this issue, and a feature article on the group accompanying this picture. -Photo courtesy "Texas Fever"; submitted by NAM.

FEATURES (The following article is taken from the publication, Texas Noteables, July 1980.

Although the group is primarily a CIW group, it appeals to fans of other musical tastes all over the Southwest. - NAM) TEXAS FEVER Which is the hottest band in Austin?

That could be a tough question to answer, but there is one band in town which has been heating their crowds up to a fever pitch. Texas Fever, that is!

Still less than a year old, Texas Fever has assembled six people who have jelled into a group which is playing good country music the way it is supposed to be played.

September 1979 was the time of beginning for Texas Fever and three of the original members are left as the nucleus of what has developed into one of the outstanding bands of the area.

Dave Clark, a native of New London, Texas, is the lead guitar player and principal male vocalist of the band.

Dave came to Austin from San Antonio and was a member of A Little Bit Of Texas before becoming a member of Texas Fever. Dave sings a wide range of material in a pleasing voice as well as taking care of the lead guitar chores.

Bucky Buchanan is a native of Waco, Texas. He is a student at the University of Texas majoring in Electrical Engineering and was working as the sound man at the Silver Dollar South when Texas Fever had its beginning.

They needed a bass player and found that he could play one, so they drafted him into the job which he still holds down, forming the floor for the rest of the band to play over.

Royce McCarley, the drummer, is a native of Austin who had experience with The Country Sounds, Texas Silver and Texas Special. He has been with Texas Fever since the beginning and sets the pace for the rest of them to follow.

Three very important additions have been made. The first was just a few days after they started, and has been a most valuable member. Rusty Swanson, who mans the fiddle and also does a lot of singing was born in Enid, Oklahoma,

VISTNIK

14 but has been in Austin for several years.

He first came here with the Rob Moorman Band spent two years or more with The Country Edition. Rusty is a fine fiddler and singer as well as a songwriter with such songs as "Sara's Waltz" to his credit.

Herb Steiner played in Austin with Alvin Crow before taking his steel guitar on the road with Dottsy. The native of Los Angeles is considered to be one of the best steel men in all of Central Texas.

When he came back to Austin he hooked up with Texas Fever and is giving them a sound that few other bands in the area can come close to, much less equal. Herb is also a fine songwriter, having penned such pieces as "NyQuil Blues" and "Turkey Texas" (Home of Bob Wills).

And then we have a female vocalist who may just be the best in the area. Debbie Syrinek is, to put it mildly, a dynamite singer. She was good when she was with the Country Sounds four years ago. She was better as a member of Texas Silver three years ago, and with that and more experience behind her she is even better.

She is a fine soloist with a wide range of songs, and sings harmony on most of the songs that Dave and Rusty sing lead on, and, to top it off, she plays most of the small percussion instruments.

Make way for Texas Fever as they climb up the ladder of success. They are hot and burning with a musical fever that bids fair to bring Texas Fever to all the country music fans all over the Southweit.

Among other things, she made approximately 35 afghans for the graduation gifts of grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

ITEMS OF INTEREST AMERICAN MELTING POT Czeeh, Polish immigrants flavor Eastgate heritage

By Cindy Horswell Chronicle Staff (June 30, 1980) Dressed in worn coveralls, 87-year-old Anton Bederka takes a long puff from his corncob pipe. Then he speaks in a thick Czech accent about how he came to

this country in 1911 without any passport and eventually made his way to this sleepy town in Liberty County.

"I didn't want to get killed," he said, noting World War I was imminent.

So at the urging of his parents, Bederka then 17, decided to "sneak out" of Slovakia (now part of Czechoslovakia) and make his fortune in America - the land of dreams.

Bederka camouflaged his exit by carrying two large geese "with heads bobbing everywhere" to give the illusion that he was going to market. It took him four hours to walk out of his country.

He next hopped a train "that was filled with sheep" and eventually caught a boat to America.

"As long as you had $40," he said, "you could always get through customs in the United States. That was when they wanted immigrants."

His story is not any more daring or unusual than that of 20 or 30 other Czech and Polish families who made their way to the United States in the early 1900s and eventually settled in Eastgate.

Here in this community off FM 1960, cradled along Cedar Bayou, immigrants created a "home away from home." A place where old country customs and traditions might be maintained.

Another immigrant, Joe V. Smesny, 81, affectionately called "Papa Joe," was only 12 years old when his mother brought him and his sister across the ocean to escape the poverty of their Czech homeland.

One of the sacrifices Smesny made, but never regretted, was giving up his formal schooling to be a field hand to help "make ends meet" in the United States.

When he was 29, he bought a 200-acre spread and took up permanent residence in Eastgate.

Although in the minority, a strong contingent of Poles also migrated to this area because of the "good, cheap farmland," said Harold Mitalski, who speaks with a Polish accent.

He said many customs and traditions were similar for the two ethnic groups, but a language barrier existed.

Still, the Czechs and Poles, most of whom were Catholic, banded together and built a white frame church called St. Anne's in 1918. It was later replaced by a red-brick building.

"I remember that Bohemians (Czechs) used to sit on one side of the church and Poles on the other," said Frieda Hanel, Who is of Czech descent.

When her family moved here about 40 years ago, she said, they , accidentally sat on the wrong side of the church and the minister thought they were Polish.

The larger arrow and dot is approximately the location where your editor and Sister Lydia Hendrick of Lodge No. 88, Houston were born and the smaller arrow shows the approximate location of the Wolf Island School mentioned in the article.

"We felt a little lost, like outsiders," she said. "We had been used to mixing like Americans, and it was hard for us'to communicate since everybody was speaking in their native tongues."

Bederka said there was some rivalry between the two ethnic groups.

"The Poles would pull together and the Czechs would pull together (during community functions). And sometimes a smart aleck would start something," he said. "But most of the time we lived together pretty good."

The old parish hall, which today residents say "belongs to the cows," since hay is stored there, was once the site of many lively dances. Residents would bake traditional poppy-seed rolls and kolaches (pastry) and bring lots of beer to the hall where an accordionist would play a polka or Beseda (Czech square dance).

"We still make kolaches and get together for games. But we don't have those kind of dances anymore," said Mary Bederka. "Nowadays the youngsters dance like a bunch of billy goats."

About the only commercial structure still operating today is Papa Joe's service station and tavern on FM 1960.

But it wasn't always this way. Bederka once operated a machine shop here and other Czech old-timers ran a cotton gin, post office, train depot and general merchandise store.

The country store sold everything from material to canned goods for 43 years until 1968, when Mrs. M.F. Janacek retired. Today the weathered, barn-like building stands unused and its sign has faded to the point that it can no longer be read.

Remnants of a cement foundation which once served as a two-room

Frieda Hanel, left, and her cousin, Lillian Netny, admire some of the costumed dolls from their native country of Czechoslovakia. Many of the families In Eastgate, a community located off FM 1960 in Liberty County, trace their ancestors to either Czechoslovakia or Poland. schoolhouse called Wolf Island School also can be seen in an open field.

Eastgate children from first grade through seventh grade attended school there until it burned down in 1942 during the polio scare.

Many residents then were petrified of this deadly infectious virus, because there was no way to provide protection from it.

"People used to burn mattresses, books, or anything that an infected person may have touched," said Mrs. Hanel. *** EASTGATE'S YOUNG ARE EXEMPLARY ADOLESCENTS From Floyd W. Scott, 18 Carl, Dayton.

I really did appreciate your page (Chronicle, June 30) about the Eastgate community, which is in the Dayton Independent School District, as you stated in your story. I have taught several young people from the families mentioned in your story and I want to add to the story. The children of the

Eastgate people are expected to attend school regularly, behave while they are in school and keep up their school work. As a result, these young people are some of the best-behaved, hardest-working; responsible young peopled have ever taught. / would also like to point out that although the oldsters, as pointed out in your story, speak with Polish or Czech accents, their descendants are quite adept at using the English language.

These people are no fools. They are smart enough, as sortie groups are not, to realize that English is the native language of their adopted country and to teach their children to speak English so they can fit into their country and make a living without any special considerations because they are a "minority."

Of course, they keep some of their Polish and Czech customs and the religion they practiced in the old country, but they have made their native customs and religion fit into the pattern of the United States - and I say, "Thank God!" Why can't more groups do the same?

System.

Who Is deficient?

Individuals who eat a diet predominated by vegetable products are the most likely to be deficient. Vegetable and grain products contain phytate, a"chelating" or binding agent that adversely affects the absorption by the body of zinc.

Hw much needed?

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for zinc is 15 milligrams per day for each adult--with the consumption of a mixed diet or a diet that includes animal products. Meat, liver, eggs and seafoods are best sources of zinc. On the otherhand, whole-grain products, such as wholewheat, rye and oatmeal are poor sources of zinc. Researchers say that the consumption of zinc by the "average" American adult may be below the RDA. These findings emphasize the need for careful dietary planning, which includes a variety of foods to ensure that the RDA of 15 milligrams of zinc is met, Dr. Ryan-Crowe stresses.

WINTER GARDENING GREAT IN TEXAS Anton Bederka, with wife Mary in photo above, remembers coming to this country in 1911 from Slovakia (now part of Czechoslovakia.)

One day a student, Charlie Datel, 11, died suddenly at the school. His desk was burned, and then arsonists also destroyed the schoolhouse.

His death later was determined to have been caused by a ruptured appendix, not polio, residents said.

Eastgate children now attend school in the nearby Dayton Independent School District.

The Southern Pacific railroad, which opened up farm land to settlers here, was responsible for giving Eastgate its name.

When its tracks were laid through this community in the early 1900s, cattle were allowed to roam freely. So the railroad was forced to put up fences along its tracks and then gates were installed at different intervals to allow wagons and cattle to cross.

The so-called "east gate" was what blossomed into this immigrant community.

Yet, not only immigrants live here today - there has been an influx of city dwellers

who want to "live in the country." Many of the Polish and Czech farms have been divided and sold off as one-acre homesteads.

Much of their ethnic heritage and tradition has been diluted.

"All my children could speak Czech.

But they were the last ones. Now everybody is starting to blend together," said Smesny. "But that may be good."

Philosophical about it, he then quoted an old Czech adage: "Whose bread you eat, that's how you should think."

ZINC -DO YOU GET ENOUGH?

We all need zinc, but some people don't get enough, according to Cass Ryan-Crowe, a foods and nutrition specialist.

Human nutrition researchers report that some people in the United States may be marginally deficient in zinc, she says. Some symptoms signalling that

Don't shut down your vegetable garden just because summer is about over. There's another gardening season ahead. Fall and winter gardens can be just as productive as those in the spring and summer; says Sam Cotner, horticulturist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, Texas A&M University System.

As far as garden size is concerned, the horticulturist says a 400-square-foot garden is large enough for the average family. Maximum yields can be obtained by spacing plants properly and grouping various types of crops.

When it comes to crop selection, plant only those vegetables which family members like and which will produce heavily for the amount of space required, suggests Cotner.Avoid overplanting and over-crowding.

For information on specific varieties of vegetables to plant as well as other details to help you get the most from your garden, Cotner advises contacting the county Extension office.

Pfestaie se udelalo vgechno, co bylo v lidsk9ch silach, piece jen k ureitemu po gkozeni doglo. A to se ujal sveho akolu sochaf-restaurator: diky jeho nesmirn9m zku genostem a peelive praci neni absolutne k poznani, ie s malifsky zdobenou veil vubec kdy h9balo.

PeCe o kulturni pamatky v Ceskoslovensku je upravena zakonem, jeho opatfeni sleduji jedin9 cil: zachovat tyto pamatky jako nenahraditelnou hodnotu pro budouci generace a veleitovat je do soueasneho iivota.

Dnes je ye statnim seznamu nemovit9ch kulturnich pamatek evidovano v eesk9ch krajich na dvaatficet tisic objektu a na Slovensku devet tisic. Zahrnuji girokou gkalu archeologicka nalezigte, lidove stavby, starobylou architekturu, pamatky malifskeho a sochafskeho

Ustfedni instituce se staraji o 12 procent pamatek. V osobnim vlastnictvi obeantl je 22 procent pamatek - jsou to pfevaine stavby lidove architektury. V majetku cirkvi a nabolensk9ch organizaci je 12 procent kulturnich nemoviOch pamatek.

Na starobylem Hracleanskem namesti pfed PraiskYm hradem staval nepfilig napadnY dim. Do nedavna - spi ge jen ze zvykuse mu fikalo MartinickY palac.

Palacem tota" kdysi opravdu byl. V priibehu vela' v gak prodelal tolik stavebnich adaptaci, ix se zdalo zbyteene hledat v nem zbytky renesance. pied 150 lety se stal einiovnim domem a v nem Kedesat rodin. Ani zdaleka to nebyla obydli palacova. Prave naopak.

Tato situace si viladala generalni rekonstrukci objektu. Krumpaee zaCaly bofit piICky, ktere Cleniny palacove saly na pokoje. Byly sejmuty prvni falegne stropy, kterkmi se pied prildruhYm stoletim - zejmena v zajmu snazgiho vytapeni - snaila vYika malYch obytnYch prostor.

Na stenach se nail° 800m2 fresek a skoro stejnY rozsah znamenitYch sgrafit. K nalezrim dochazelo postupne, na nepfedvidanYch mistech a prave tato okolnost ovlivriovala zpisob rekonstrukce palace.

I z techto dvou pfikladri mriieme poznat, jakou velkorysosti, cilevedomosti a odpovednosti k pfikim generacim se Ceskoslovenska pamatkova peCe vyznaCuje. Ostatne, miliony zahranienich turistri se o tom kaidoroene pfesvedeuji na vlastni oei.

THE AMERICAN CREED I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
