The SPJST Supreme Lodge has donated $300 to the Czech language program at Temple Junior College. Dr. Marvin R. Felder, left, college president, and Jeanette Jarolik, instructor, accepted the check from Nick Morris, SPJST president, and Bernard Gebala, vice president. The money will be used for scholarships as well as instructional materials and special enrichment programs. TJC was the first junior college in the state to offer Czech as a foreign language.

TJC Recetves SPJST Donation TEMPLE Temple Junior College has received a check for $300 from the SPJST Supreme Lodge for use in support of the Czech language program at TJC. The money will be used for partial scholarships for students continuing in the study of Czech and for the improved instruction, promotion and enrichment of Czech classes, club and cultural programs.

"TJC is one of the leaders in the state working to advance the study of Czech language and culture and we sincerely appreciate the continued efforts and support of the SPJST toward accomplishing this goal," Dr. Marvin R. Felder, college president, said in accepting the contribution.

Nick Morris, SPJST president, said the $300 donation to TJC is part of $8,000 allocated in 1980 to support Czech programs throughout the state by the recent convention. "The SPJST has been making this annual contribution to TJC as well as several other high schools, colleges and universities in Texas for a number of years," he said. "We are happy to continue with the donation.

Czech is now being taught at more educational institutions in the state than in any previous time since the 1920's."

The TJC Czech program includes a study of the language as well as Czech cultural heritage. TJC was the first junior college in the state to

offer Czech as a foreign language.

Czech has been offered at TJC on a regular basis since 1967. TJC now offers both credit and non-credit Czech classes. Jeanette Jarolik is instructor.

Morris said SPJST has allocated $8,000 next year for Czech programs at educational institutions offering Czech courses. Among the current recipients are Texas Tech Univer sity, University of Texas, Brazosport College, San Jacinto College and University of Houston.

*** We seem to be able to brace ourselves and prepare ourselves better for a suffering that we know in advance is going to be consideration and will demand the best of us than for all those numberless pinpricks that bedevil us hour after hour throughout life. It may be their very minuteness which makes us so illfitted to bear them patiently. Whatever may be the reason, we should be aware that it is right here, in the way we react to "the little things," that we develop our habits and become, in fact, either patient or impatient men and women.

Szturday, March 21 — Taylor, Lodge 29 Saturday, April 4 — Ennis, SPJST Lodge 25 Lodge Officers' Workshops 1981

(ROTE: ALL SECTIONS WILL MEET AT LODGE 25)

To All Concerned: Based on precedence and recent actions of the Supreme Lodge, the following will be in effect for the workshops in 1981: 1) Officers will be those as before, including the lodge treasurer, or some other person designated by the lodge.

2) Sections will include lodge presidents and vice presidents in one section, lodge secretaries in another, and financial secretaries in another. The treasurers may attend any or all of the three sections, moving to them only at the start of the sessions or during the breaks.

3) Mileage for one car only from each lodge, $.30 a mile, however, if one of the locations is not convenient for the officers of a particular lodge on the date scheduled, they may attend the workshops at one of the other locations, but mileage would still be paid for only one car from each lodge at any one of the three locations. Anyone else wishing to attend these workshops, other than mentioned here, is welcome to do so, furnishing their own transportation.

These workshops held in previous years were proven to be mutually beneficial. They will deal primarily with lodge procedures and administration. We are not including workshops on youth work or insurance per se, since these two areas are adequately covered in district and state seminars and training classes.

We must remember that our national and state laws define'a Fraternal Benefit Society as "Having a lodge system with ritualistic work."

The more efficient our lodges are, the better we are insuring and guaranteeing our future as a Fraternal Benefit Society. The United States Internal Revenue Code specifies two primary requisites for a Fraternal Benefit Society: "a) Must operate on the lodge system, and b) Provide for the payment of life, sick, accident or other benefits to members or their dependents." Thus we see the specific reference to a "lodge tern" and it is through the lodge system that we must operate and improve our services. It behooves every officer mentioned above to attend these workshops as a part of his duty and obligation in being an officer in the local lodge, and especially since we will be operating under the amended by-laws of the

Letter of Appreciation I wish, by this letter, to express my most sincere appreciation for the many "Prayer Bouquets", prayers, cards, visits, and concern from so many SPJST lodges, individual members; other Fraternal Societies and friends during my recent illness.

I am home now. I am also able to get out on a limited basis . . . but am feeling better and stronger each day.

It is you, my dear fellow fraternal members and friends, who helped me so much to recuperate by your thoughtfulness and concern both to me and to my wife, Justine.

With fraternal love, Sid Pokladnik

It was reported that the new bathroom doors had been purchased and part of the metal for the lodge has been delivered. Members will be asked to come out and help when all is delivered.

Brother Eddie Hykel reported 18 members present and one guest, Vestnik Editor Brother Rudy Sefcik who came to install the officers for 1981. The officers and members wish to thank him for coming and installing the officers and eating supper with us.

News from Lodge No. 88, Houston

Friday, January 2, 1981 in the beautiful home of our entertainment chairman, Sister Wanda Kennedy and her spouse, Neol. About fifty of his close friends surprised King. I mean really surprised him! He had no idea what was going on behind his back, until the card game was interrupted by the loud voices of "Surprise" and the "Happy Birthday" song rang out from the group. I don't know how Helen, his wife, kept it from him, but she sure succeeded. It was a lovely evening and a perfect surprise and the amusing gifts had everyone laughing and the food was out of this world and specially delicious. Happy Birthday!

Sister Bessie Matejek, after her surgery in December and the setback she had with some reactions (which needed medication) but was taken care of in the doctor's office, is feeling much better now and it will take a while to get back into the old routine. Wish you much health in 1981 and the years to come!

Brother John Zemko, a jolly human being and always ready to cheer everyone up, is not with us anymore. John left unexpectedly with no goodbye to'anyone. At work, he was stricken with a massive heart attack and rushed to the hospital where he stayed in intensive care for two days and did not regain consciousness. He passed away Monday, December 29, at the age of 66 years; he was laid to rest Wednesday, December 31st. John has been active in our Choral Club and it was the last time for him to sing with us for the Christmas Holidays at the Needville S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home, and for him to play his accordion to entertain the guests at the home. John's last appearance on the stage took place November 9, 1980; he loved to act and he was good. We all will miss him; you had to know him to understand him. Surviving him are his wife, Emily Zemko; two daughters, Carol and Sharon McAfee; one son, Allan; three sisters, Mary Supel, Johanna Spulak and Emily Rocco; one brother, Steve Zemko; and two grandchildren, all of Chicago, Illinois. Rev. Hanacek and Louis Hanus officiated. Our sincere sympathy to the surviving family.

Brother Frank Bohac, age 75, passed away peacefully in his sleep at home January 4, 1981 after a long illness. Frank was a member of the All Saint's Catholic Church, member of the Houston Sokol and a member of Lodge No 88. He was employed for 35 years with the Marshal Construction Co. Funeral services were held at All Saint's Catholic Church with Father Joe officiating, Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. Interment was in Forest Park Cemetery. May he rest in peace. Deepest of sympathy to the surviving family: his wife, Margaret Bohac; and one daughter, Barbara and son-in-law Stephen M. Fowler. He was preceded in death by daughter, Susan Bohae; one brother, Ed and sister-in-law, Matilda Bohac of Weimar, Tx.; and granddaughter, Melissa.

Seaton Choral Club, SPJST Lodge No. 47 Dear Readers: Annie Jakubec, Choral Club direc­ tor, Henry Janacek, accordionist; Helen Janacek, Willie and Adeline Kohutek, Thelma Bartosh, Agnes Schiller, Emily Stuteville, Floyd Stuteville, Martha and Alfred Klusá­ eek, Woodrow and Viola Chervenka, Dorothy Morris, Michael Morris, Otto and Matilda Hanus, Johnie and La Verne Vanicek and Vallie and Leon Zavodny came to support the club; also, Franklin L. Connor, Ruby L. Bolton, Mary Holíek, Della Psen­ cik, Lillian and Bill Koarek, Jerry and Dorothy Pechal, Clarence and Wanona Sula, Calvin Chervenka, Mrs. Marie Zvolanek, Albina Mikeska, Stazie Horelica, Gladys Kovar, Frank and Lillian. Mikulec, Georgia and Butch Sodek, Frank and Eleanora Spanhel, Mathu and Elsie Cabla. Mary and Bob Vasicek and Leo Baca.

The just named members' partici­ pation and attendance made for our club's successful Christmas season.

Collectively, we nurtured the club's intentions set 14 years ago and before, and individually, each of us felt psychologically and emotionally lifted. Each member had the satis­ faction .of giving of him/herself during this busy Yule time with its diverse attractions. The feelings ex­ pressed, "I really had a lot to do today, but I'm very glad I came. It made me feel so good"; this revealed commitment to the Choral Club and the need we all have to share that which is good.

Our plans to sing at BurmontNur­ sing Center November 25th, foiled by the unusually early snow, were realized December 11th when we sang for the residents. And how glad we were! Their appreciation ex­ pressed in applause, "When are you coming again?" And . their hand­ shakes told us it was more than worthwhile.

The Choral Club was busy with three other singing activities prior to the holidays - still near enough to include Christmas carols, English and Czech. Sung for were the resi­ dents of Four Seasons Rest Home December 4 and Southland Villa, December 9. Surely, we received more than we gave for the listeners' attention and appreciation said which conveyed that knowledge.

The staff and residents of SV treated us to hot chocolate and cookies afterward; on that cold night, what could have been more appropo?

For each member to give his/her name at all rest homes has become as much a part of our program as singing - one which warms us, acquaints us for a first time and renews relationships sometime ago begun.

Reflections: It is a time to which we all look forward, singers and lis­ teners. To stand apart as a group and sing for the residents is, yes, rewarding; to touch and fraternize with them becomes a personal and warming experience.

We attended and performed for the annual Christmas party of Lodge No. 47 when we sang "Narodil se Kristus Pan" and "Ticha noc" during the youth program. Our thanks to Mrs. Shirley Patterson, youth club leader, for having asked us and to the youth club members who, them-

selves, entertained us all in their special way.

Vice President Anne Krcha had surgery during the latter part of November and is recuperating very well; we missed having her at the Club Christmas party. To know this sweet lady is to love her. A complete recovery is our hope for her and we look forward to when she is back at our regular practices.

Our members can all be called on to help in time of need. One such member is Emily Stuteville. She readily accepted the responsibility of taking the songbooks to Southland Villa, having them ready for the singers and returning them for another event. Emily also was MC for that occasion; a good one and we all thank her.

Several members sang for eight "at-home" shut-ins the afternoon of December 15. They welcomed songs in the Czech language and were given bags of fruit from the lodge Christmas party.

Spirits, coffee and sweets (makova buchta and coconut-pecan bars) were prepared by Jerry and Dorothy Pechal and Alfred and Martha Klusacek, our hosts for the club Christmas social. They tended the kitchen and set the varieties of good food, brought by all who came. Good hosts they were; our "thank yous" are theirs. Conversations, taped music over the loud-speaker system, games and gift exchange helped to make it a good party for the 32 members attending.

Regular rehearsal/meeting will resume Tuesday, February 10, 1981.

Please come early to begin at 7:30 p.m. at Seaton Star Hall.

Expressions of sympathy have been expressed to Mr. Ed Hesse on the loss of his wife. They were our honorary members, having helped the club on numerous occasions.

Peace, health and happiness in the New Year 1981 — those are the hopes we extend to everyone.

Sincerely, Dorothy Morris Reporter

DALLAS CIRCLE OF CZECH WOMEN Now that the holidays are over, it is time to get back to old and new routines. If you have made resolutions for the New Year, try not to break any of them. May 1981 be the best year ever for everyone.

Editor Sefcik: Here is another "gem" from the agricultural world that I think again contains some subtle humor but genuine wisdom. There's a message in it also. The item, is from the column, "Opinions", from the January 1981 issue of Texas Agriculture, official publication of the Texas Farm Bureau. I think our members and readers will enjoy Mr. Jacobs' well-taken humor.

Fraternally, Nick A. Morris

C. Y. Jacobs' humor never fails The following letter was read by C. Y. Jacobs, Lavaca County, to Texas Farm Bureau convention delegates during the recent convention in San Antonio. Mr. Jacobs, having attended the annual meetings for the past 28 years, has become a living Farm Bureau legend through his unfailing humor in the heat of debate. Our salute goes to you, Mr. Jacobs! — the editor Dear Tax Collector: In reply to your request to send a check, I wish to inform you that the present condition of my bank account makes it almost impossible.

My shattered financial condition is due in part to federal laws, state laws, speed laws, local laws, outlaws, and also, in-laws.

As a result of these laws, I am compelled to pay a business tax, school tax, amusement tax, gas tax, sales tax, luxury tax, cigarette tax, excise tax, income tax—even my brains are taxed. I am required to get a business license, car license, driver's license, and hunting license—not to mention marriage and dog license.

I am also required to contribute or donate to every society and organization which the genius of man is capable of bringing to life. For instance: bad boy's relief, rent relief, unemployment relief, politician's relief, and even policemen's relief Also, I must contribute to every hospital, institution, and society in the city-including the Red Cross, White Cross, Blue Cross, Black Cross, and the double cross.

For my own safety, I am required to carry life insurance, burglar insurance, accident insurance, business insurance, earthquake insurance, tornado insurance, and fire insurance.

My business is so governed that it is no easy matter for me to find out who owns it. I am inspected, suspected, disrespected, rejected, dejected, examined, informed, misinformed, required, summoned, fined, commanded and compelled until I provide an almost inexhaustible supply of money for every known need of the human race.

The wolf that comes to my door nowadays just had pups. I sold them to a zoo-so, here is your money.

REPORT FROM LODGE NO. 17 YOUTH LEADER Dear Readers: It's a New Year and the New Tabor Youth Club is off to a new start. We held our regular monthly meeting January 4, 1981 and with the new year came seven new members to our club. The members are: Roxanne and Shannon Urbanovsky, Lonneda Goodnight and Lana Urbanovsky. Welcome new members! At the meeting the youth club decided to go skating after the next meeting.

The youth club was very busy during 1980. With seven new members in April, we began by decorating cakes for the annual barbecue. In June we went bowling; some of our other summer activities included a pizza supper, and a tour of Texas A&M University. Six members participated in YAD and two advanced to state; at the October meeting, we had two new members, Nancy Stefka and John Beasley. In October the youth club presented a program for Betty Suehs, youth leader, for the past eight years.

They presented her with a pen and pencil set, a cake and had a barbecued chicken supper. Game Warden Robert Wiederhold spoke to the group on hunting safety and gun safety. The youth painted assorted plaster items to use as wind chimes. In December Betty Suehs spoke to the group and explained how to make the craft. The craft was Christmas ornaments. The youth members presented a Christmas program at the local lodge and stew supper; seven members participated in the memorial services.

A lot is planned for the coming year. I hope the youth club will continue to grow in 1981 and it will be a good year for everyone.

Hazardous Chemicals Need Careful Handling To Avoid Environmental Contamination "The public is becoming increasingly aware of the possible environmental hazards associated with chemical spills or waste disposal activities," according to Dr. Kirk W. Brown, soil physicist at Texas A&M University.

"Often acute problems such as crop or livestock loss, or irreparable soil contamination beccrne evident within a short period of time after a spill or failure of a waste impoundment," Brown said.

However, the more chronic problems associated with low levels of chemicals, such as birth defects and cancer, may not become evident until many years after the exposure.

Until recently, Brown said, very little has been known about the fate or mobility in soil of compounds which can have a genetic effect on man or his animals.

Research underway by.

Brown and a research associate, K. C. Donnelly, for the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station seeks to measure the occurrence of mutagenic agents, those which can cause gene mutations, in the runoff and leachate water from soils to which an industrial waste has been applied.

Several plant and microbial systems are being used to monitor the accumulation of mutagenic compounds in the collected water samples.

Most of the water samples collected at six feet below the soil surface were free of contamination, Donnelly said, while a few samples exhibited activity which was slightly above the background level.

The runoff water from the treated area contained elevated levels of mutagenic compounds. The concentrations appear to decrease with time, but have not returned to background levels even 18 months after waste application.

"It appears," Donnelly said, "that the soil may provide an effective barrier to prevent the migration of these undesirable contaminants to the groundwater, provided the waste applications or a spill do not exceed the soil's capacity to retain them.

"Runoff water, however, is sufficiently contaminated to require containment for long periods following soil contamination.

"The process of reducing contamination from toxic chemicals must begin with the identification of contaminated areas and the evaluation of various methods of disposal.

"The studies have indicated that biological analysis may provide a valuable tool for the reduction of environmental contamination from hazardous compounds," Donnelly concluded.
