The SL SPJST recently made a $500 donation to the Temple Junior College Czech Language Program. (L to R) are: Calvin Chervenka, TJC Czech Program Coordinator; Dr. H. C. Farrell, Jr., Dean of the College; Mrs. Henry Vitek; and Henry Vitek, SL SPJST District II Director.

Czech Language Program at Temple Junior College Received Donation TEMPLE — The Czech language program at Temple Junior College has received a $500 donation from the SPJST Supreme Lodge to be used for scholarships and enrichment of the program.

Dr. H. C. Farrell, Jr., dean, and Calvin Chervenka, coordinator of the TJC Czech program, accepted the contribution from SPJST representatives: Henry E. Vitek, District II Dir.; Nick A. Morris, president; Bernard Gebala, vice president, and Leonard Mikeska, secretary-treasurer.

SPJST has been making annual contributions to the TJC Czech program as well as other high schools, colleges and universities in Texas for a number of years. A total of $8,000 was allocated for support of Czech programs at educational institutions across the state in 1981.

The SPJST officials present indicated that the society is very happy to continue with the donation and that Czech is now being taught at more educational institutions in the state than in any previous time since the 1920s. Other recipients of SPJST funds include Texas Tech University, University of Texas, Brazosport College, San Jacinto College, University of Houston, Eastfield College, Alvin Community College, Spring Branch ISD, Flatonia High School and the TAMU Czech Club.

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 Czech as a foreign language and now offers both credit and noncredit classes, Chervenka said.

Czech has been offered on a regular basis at TJC since 1967.

"We are very appreciative of the continued support from the SPJST and other groups and individuals," Dr. Farrell said. "They have helped make possible an active Czech program at TJC." (Photo and article submitted by SL Secretary-Treasurer Leonard D. Mikeska.) offer

GEditor COMMENTS

THOSE WE LOVE THEY say the world is round — and yet I often think it square, So many little hurts we get From corners here and there; But there's one truth in life I've found While journeying east and west, The only folks we really wound Are those we love the best.

We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest, and deal full many a thoughtless blow To those we love the best.

Anon.

Sunday morning, May 17 your editor received a long distance telephone call from Brother Joe Nezval, president of Lodge Karel Jonas No 28, East Bernard stating that his father, Brother Dominic Nezval, age 83, (a longtime acquaintance of ours) had died and requested that your editor officiate at his father's funeral in behalf of the SPJST Fraternal Society Tuesday afternoon sometime.

Since it was to be a Tuesday (which is a little slower day for your editor than Wednesday, Thursday and Friday), we agreed to do so and he stated that he would call about the definite time Sunday afternoon or Monday.

He called that Sunday afternoon and we received another unhappy surprise: Brother Justus Urbish, a very good friend, postmaster at East Bernard and a very good sales representative for our SPJST had died of a massive heart attack and would be buried that same Tuesday morning; Brother Nezval's funeral was at 2:30 p.m. Both were members of Lodge No. 28, East Bernard. We regret we could not attend Brother Urbish's funeral earlier that day.

May both of our departed brothers rest in peace and our SPJST sends heartfelt sympathy to the surviving families and, certainly, our family does.

In this cycle of life and its episodes, one never knows when one's time will come, does one?

An added note: We were surprised to see corn completely grown and ready for "roastin' ears" to develop and the crops so mature near that part of Texas. We hope that our Texas farmers have a good year of harvest with all of their crops; they deserve it!

Grocery Shopping. The typical middle-income family spends between $3,000 and $5,000 per year in the supermarket, notes the American Council of Life Insurance.

But food bills can be held down by careful shopping, the council says.

Suggestions; Reduce trips to the store to once a week. The less, you go, the less you'll spend. Never shop when in a hurry or hungry. Make a shopping list and stick to it Try to take advantage of sales often held

from Thursday through Saturday.

Try day-old bread, which often sells for 10 to 20 cents off, and less-expensive cuts of meat, which can be tenderized by marinating. And remember, ready-made entrees usually cost more than homemade dishes.

Smoke Detectors. Do smoke detectors work? Apparently so. A recent study by the U. S. Fire Administration and the Consumer Product Safety Commission found that smoke detectors in homes save lives, prevent injuries and reduce fire losses. The study, covering 1,168 fires involving smoke detectors in 12 jurisdictions around the U.S., found that detectors provided the first warning in 40 percent of the accidental fires. In 90 percent of the fires when occupants were asleep, the presence of a smoke detector decreased the potential for serious injury or death. In 35 percent of the fires, the early warning provided by smoke detectors reduced property losses.

Headaches. Nearly everybody has headaches from time to time, but some headaches can be warnings of more-serious problems. If you have any of these symptoms, it's wise to check promptly with your doctor: Sudden, severe headaches; accom panying convulsions, fever, confusion or lessening of consciousness; headaches following a blow on the head, and headaches associated with local pain the eye, ear or elsewhere. For more about pains in the head, see "Headaches," a booklet from the Department of Health and Human Services. It's available for $1 from the Consumer Information Center, Department 149J, Pueblo, Colo. 81009.

A recent nationwide survey shows that almost 9 in 10 Americans believe inflation and the current level of taxation are keeping people from saving more.

Seven in 10 working households report that their retirement savings are non-existent or inadequate.

Half the nation's working population (51 percent) says that no money is being put aside for retirement in their households, the survey found. Another 21 percent say that less money is being put aside than is necessary.

While 50 percent feel that retirement will be financially possible, some 44 percent (4 in 10) feel it will not be. The survey found overwhelming support (7 in 10) for changing the tax laws to encourage saving for retirement. ***

TAKE NOTICE. The XXIII SPJST Convention in June, 1980, held in San Antonio, passed on and adopted a motion that the SL officers and editor would be given two weeks of vacation each year and that our SPJST Society would print only 50 issues of Vestnik each year.

By mutual agreement of the publisher, editor and our Supreme Lodge there will be NO Vestnik issued dated July 1st and August 26th. Please keep this in mind in planning your correspondence!

Cyclone Lodge Reports. On Past/ Present Functions Dear Members: Our meeting was called to order

by President Dan Sebek.

The flag was presented by Melanie Mowdy and Melanie Zavodny, who also led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and we remained standing for a moment of silence for our deceased member, Brother Jerry D. Schiller.

On our sick list we have Brother Frank Lesikar. Brother Ben Svoboda was in the hospital but is doing fine now. Sister Carolyn Dorner and her two children Diane and Chris were involved in a car accident; luckily there were no serious injuries, Diane has a cut on her face which, hopefully, will soon be healed. Sister Albina Dornhoefer had surgery on her hands and is still recuperating. To all of them and of any other members who may be ill, we wish a speedy recovery.

Our Donation Committee acted upon giving W. R. Bruggman a donation of $250 toward the expenses he might have in the recent accident he had while being burned when his house partially burned. Mr. 13ruggrnan is a relative and a friend to most of the members.

In our correspondence we had a thank you note from the March of Dimes donation.

Order of business: We discussed awarding the 50-year pins event. We finalized the plans which will be held Sunday, July 26; a noon meal will be served starting at 1 p.m.; following the program, the lodge will provide the meat, bread and tea and everyone is asked to bring vegetable salad or dessert. We are honoring these members: Sister Clara Macek, Sister Anna Macek, Brother John

Bedrich and Brother Owen P. Carpenter. Put this date on the calendar and plan to join in honoring these members.

We also discussed the sponsored dances and Sister Louise Zavodny is in charge. If any company or member wants to be a sponsor contact Sister Louise at the Red Ranger Store: Phone — 985-2556.

We welcome new member Lynn Tschoener signed up by Sales Representative Louise Zavodny. Lynn is the husband of Arleen (Cabla) Tschoener who has been an active member many years, so we're glad to have her husband as part of our membership.

The assistant youth leader, Carol Chervenka, gave us a report. She told us about the social they had Saturday, May 9 which was bowling, skating, and eating pizzas; it was enjoyed by many youth members, their families and guests. They will be planning more events in the future (even some money-making projects).

Having birthdays and those who were present were: Assistant Youth Leader Carol Chervenka, Sister Louise Zavodny, Sister Bernice Sebek and Kimberly Schneider, youth. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Martinec has an anniversary. To all of them and any members celebrating this month, we wish best wishes.

Door prizes were won by Dan Sebek, Regina Zabcik, Chris Dorner and Tracey Jo Chervenka.

While I was writing this letter I got a phone call that W. R. Bruggman ended his struggle to regain health and passed away. To his family we give our deepest sympathy; it had been three weeks to the day the accident occurred which was three weeks of hope and worry and it is sad that it had to end this way.

Our next meeting will be held Wednesday, June 10 at 7:30 p.m. We will have a social after the meeting, the ladies are asked to bring snacks to eat. We will have "Happy Hour" so lets all come and join in the fellowship after the meeting.

Fraternally, Bernice Sebek, Reporter -SPJST-

Quarterly Meeting

Set for Ellinger, Lodge No. 51 Dear Members: Wednesday, June 10th, this lodge will hold their regular quarterly meeting at the Ellinger Fire Department Building, starting at 7 p.m.

This will be the last meeting before our lodge picnic in September, and it is very important that all of you try to attend this meeting. There are many problems to be discussed and decided. Please remember that it is very difficult for only your three lodge officers to make all of the arrangements and preparations for a picnic; especially this year, since we have added an admission fee. Registration and Collection Committees will need to be appointed and instructed.

Think about it and come to the meeting and help your officers carry some of the load!

June 7th Meeting Set for East Bernard Lodge No. 28 Dear Members: June 7th, at 2:30 p.m., the lodge will hold its meeting for the month.

The agenda scheduled, at this time, are the normal reports, special reports, if any and any other business that needs attention at this time. A special door prize will be given to honor "Father's Day" and the "gathering" will take place after the meeting.

One item of business that will be given special attention will be discussed (at this time but will not be voted on), is the motion to sell the lodge building. This discussion will be carried through the July 5th meeting and the August 2nd meeting. The vote will be taken in the August 2nd meeting. It is hereby advised, notice given and warned that this will take place. It behooves (to one's advantage) that all members be present at one or all of these meetings. This means all members who wish to speak for or against this action. Once the vote is taken, on this motion, in the August 2nd meeting, the appropriate action will be taken by the lodge officers.

Since our May meeting, two members have passed, away:

Brother Justus Urbish, our vice president, passed away on the morning of May 17; he was 57 years old. Brother Dominic Nezval, one of the older members and father of the president, passed away the evening of May 16. Both funerals were held May 19. Brother Rudy Sefcik officiated at the latter one (the Nezval funeral).

The May 3rd meeting started on time and all reports given were accepted. Several motions were made and passed. In one case a motion was made to sell the lodge building. This motion was tabled until August 2nd. Then a motion was made to hold discussions on the tabled motion in the June 7th, July 5th and August 2nd meeting with the vote to be taken on August 2nd.

The motion to table and discuss both passed.

The door prize was won by Brother Anton Kelner, Jr., and the special Mother's Day prize was won

by Sister Annie Foytik.

The food on the table, for the "gathering" after the meeting, was arranged in the following approximate order: Ham sandwiches on rye, ham sandwiches on white, cheese sandwiches on rye, pickles, 3 plates of kolaches, Danish apple rolls, apple strudel, chocolate cake, pineapple upside-down cake, and peach pie; the lodge furnished the ham sandwiches and liquid refreshments. The following sisters made the social a success: Sisters Sperlik, Haverda, Kortis, Foytik, Brdecka, Valigura, Luquette and Nezval. In behalf of the lodge we wish to thank all of these loyal sisters for their generosity in making all of these socials successful.

Mark your calendars so you will remember these three important meetings. All meetings will start at 2:30 p.m. CDT; the meetings, again, are June 7th, July 5th and August 2nd.

The fellowship that exists among the Czech students is very heartwarming. The feeling is quite evident, among the students, of the importance of the teaching and learning the language of their forefathers; also, the knowledge of their beautiful customs, traditions and even about the beautiful country of Czechoslovakia, as a whole, is treasured.

With all this in mind the class is looking forward to a very beautiful and enjoyable session in September, 1981.

FRATERMILI/111.• If a family affair

Dear Youth Leaders: The youth year (May 31st) is quickly coming to an end. There are only two weeks before June 1. This means that points need to be counted and complete before the district YAD's because of the checks that have to be issued here. I am asking that each of you turn in your point sheets at soon as the youth year ends and those having YAD's on June 7 and June 14 should have your point sheets in my office no later than June 3 in order to have your checks ready. (District IV and District III) Many of you have kept your quarterly reports up to date but a few have failed to show any points for your lodge. If, for some reason, you have not kept, points for your youth club then this explains why, but if you have failed to record these points on the quarterly report form, please send this information to me as soon as you have completed counting the points. If there is a question, check the last quarterly report in which you gave me a figure.

I realize that keeping points is not an easy task, but in order to reward the teens and juniors, who have worked so hard throughout the year, we must total these points.

I appreciate your work in getting this to me at your earliest. YAD's will soon be here and I know that excitement is growing within the youth as well as the adults. I am looking forward to being with all of you on those special days.

The youth rule books are ready and have been distributed. If you have not received a youth rule book, we feel it is best if you use the channels of communication that we have, that is, making your request first to your DYC who, in turn, will forward your request to this office in the event he or she can not comply.

We always stand ready to assist, but we feel it is best for all concerned that you go through channels, except for a case of emergency. In this way the DYC knows of your request rather than being circumvented and all channels of communication will have been used.

YAD consists of devotion, hard work, and long hours of preparation before that final hour arrives.

However, all will be rewarded when you see the smiles on the faces of all the youth who have worked so hard for that special day.

HOUSTON — "Elisa" is helping a team of scientists from five nations develop a new way to treat cancer patients by protecting their vital bone marrow while poisoning the cancer cells.

"Elisa" is a testing method using enzymes to measure immunity at M. D. Anderson-University of Texas Cancer Center. Here, Dr. Karel Dicke, Professor of Medicine, is directing a group of biochemists, immunologists and surgeons, assembled from Holland, Australia, India, Argentina, and the U.S. for a project involving bone marrow transplantation as part of a new treatment for cancer. The research is supported by an American Cancer Society grant.

Previously at other research and centers, leukemia treatment patients were treated by transplanting bone marrow from an identical twin. The bone marrow (which produces blood cells) from a close relative sometimes enhanced the leukemia patients' immune reaction.

Another technique involves temporarily removing bone marrow, to prevent damaging it, before chemical or radiation treatment of a leukemia patient. But leukemia cells could have remained in the extracted bone marrow, Dr. Dicke points out, and relapse sometimes occurs.

Dr. Dickes team is adapting this technique to patients with "solid tumors." Until now, chemotherapy for these kinds of cancers has failed to match its impressive success with acute leukemia in children, half of whom are now being saved.

Patients with oat cell carcinoma, a lung cancer, are being treated by a moderate ' use of combined chemicals, while withdrawn bone marrow is safely reposited in refrigerated storage for six to nine weeks.

Tots and Class I Sokol West Gymnasts practice twice a week at the M. 0.

Robinson Gym in West. Their instructors are Lucille Pierce and Gladys Quilter, etc.

Junior boy/girl g3. inuasts of Sokol 1‘ est also practice twice a week at the gym in West. Their instructors include Howard Freund, Robert Lednicky.

Dr. George Smith and .lan Vaculik.

During this time a combination of anti-cancer chemicals are given three weeks apart before the bone marrow is returned to the system.

During treatment they remain in the Center's laminar airflow section to prevent contamination. Due to treatment suppressing their immunity, they are especially vulnerable to infection.

Patients treated two years ago, when the method was first devised, have survived.

To improve the technique, the body's immune system will be enhanced by a new method of producing antibodies that will attack only tumor cells. "Elisa" for "Enzyme - Linked - Immunosorbant Assay," will be used to select specific antibodies obtained from

clones grown from rabbit and mouse hybrid cells.

This second line of attack will be used principally to kill any cells left in the bone marrow so it will not carry the seeds of fatal recurrence.

se Cesky Let Us Study Czech UCme

Lekce sedmnacta — Lesson 17 Fanning plurals — Mnoine eislo The nominative plural of masculine animate nouns has, for both hard and soft stems, the ending i, which softens the hard consonants before it. had — hadi vojak — vojaci eert eerti Cech eeSi pan — pani doktor doktoti There are 2 other endings for animate masculine nouns in the nom. pl.

— ov-é — personal names, such as Vaclavove, which means several people with the name Vacla . Other examples: Ital Italove Cech — either Srb — Srbove CeSi or (one syllable names) eechove pan panove Polak — Polaci syn — synove and Mad'ar — Glen — 61enove Mad'ati biskup — biskupove filosof — filosofove There is much fluctuation in the usage of the plural i and ova. Perhaps one rule of thumb to follow is to use the ova form when speaking and writing formally.

All nouns ending in — tel, denoting office, position, or occupation, are made plural by the simple addition of é. Examples: ueitel — ueitele pohan — pohani stavitel — stavitele andel — andele obean obeane host — hoste y

krajan — krajane American -soused — souse& Amerieane elovek — ride Slovan — Slovane mantel — (exception: manZelove German, Germani (Nouns ending in — ista): houslista housliste §achista — achiste pianista — pianiste, pritel — pratele There are a number of nouns that usually go in pairs, such as nfi2ky, bryle, etc., somewhat like our words, sheep, deer, etc. There is no singular form for these words. Examples: pernze noviny Saty kalhoty kleSte housle nirZky rodiee dvete bryle hodiny Proper names, places, countries, etc.: Cechy Marianske Lazne Teplice Karlovy Vary Feasts: Vanoce Velikonoce narozeniny jmeniny There exist some of the old dual number plural in Czech: ruka ruce koleno kolena noha — nohy oko — oei prs — prsa ucho — rameno ramena Exercise Write the nominative plural of these words: bratr chlapec sestra pritel kupec Ameriean soused houslista Form sentences of your own with the plural of these words: Robert vojak ueitel filosof Cech stavitel pan obean syn host Glen soused manZel Pronounce all the words OUT LOUD.

Czech With Us

Learn

13th lesson. Perspective and Imperative Verbs.

According to the character of verbal action there exist two types of verbs in Czech, perfective and imperfective. They occur in pairs.

1) The imperfective verb emphasizes the course of the action (something is going on.), or its repetition (something happens often, more than once.). The verbs given so far in this course were all imperfective.

2) The perfective verb presents verbal action as perfected, completed, emphasizing the outcome, consequence or product of the action.

We look at the action quick.?, as if summarizing it up.

The imperfective verbs may be roughly compared with the English

simple (I write) or continuous tense (I am writing), the perfective verb with the English perfect tense (I have done).

The perfective and imperfective members of each verbal pair are formally differentiated. a) The perfective member of the pair is formed from the imperfective one by adding a prefix: tiefm se: Ue se!

Naue se! pOs: Napi.S! ptam se: Ptej se!

Zeptej se! vailm: VaP! opakuju: Opakuj! Zopakuj! puu: Vypij!

Pij! zvonim: Zazvon! delarn: Delej! U4lej!

b) The perfective member has a different stem: kupuju: davam:

Kupuj!

Ddvej!

Rikej!

Kul)!

Der Reline

,lr.j.hArr I

■ rtlkihei POITIOZ!

Fr ,kivfi.rn xitvej Procier FEWm: llazej! Hod?

c) In few cases the perfective and imperfective members are completely different verbs: beru: Vezmi!

Ber! Note: In the positive imperative we can use both the perfective and imperfective verbs while in the negative imperative mostly the imperfective verb is the only possible.

—Nepis ten dopis!

NapiS ten dopis!

But: Vypij to mleko! —Nepij to mleko! (Do not even start) —Nevypij to vSechno!

—Nevypij to v.Sechno!

Crhirala jazyka

eeskeho

Jazyk je podivuhodny vktvor lidsky.

Lze si ptedstavit lidskou spoleenost napt. bez 2eleza — a takova spoleenost kdysi 2ila bez ohne — i takova spoleenost existovala —, ale nelze si ji 4ptedstavit bez vody, bez potravin — a bez jazyka. Nikdy takova, lidska spoleenost neexistovala a nikde neexistuje. Na svete je ov§em mnoho jazykU. Jednotlive jazyky jsou jednim z hlavnich pout mezi skupinami lidi, kterym tikame narody — narodnostni skupiny. Narody sve narodni jazyky. Take nas narod ma svirj narodni jazyk: ee§tinu, jehoi historie 112 pfekroeila jedno tisicileti.

Tesny vztah jazyka a naroda si uvedomovali nagi ptedkove pied vice ne2 pultisiceletim. Slovo jazyk tehdy znamenalo take narod. V Dalimilove kronice eteme: Wet' kaidemu srdce po jazyku svernu (Kazdy miluje svilj narod).

Jazyk matetsky provazi eloveka od kolebky ai ke hrobu. Je nam samoztejmy jako vzduch, uilvame ho tak samortejme, jako bezdeene, samortejme inivame rukou.

Mateittina nam slouii v ka2dodennim iivote, jenom mateftina je jazykem na§eho sneni, jazykem nejvet§ich radosti i smutkfr. Neni tedy divu, ie si kaldy narod sveho narodniho jazyka va.21, ctf jej a miluje jej. Oeima lasky jej vidi jako nejkrasnej§i a nejdokonalej§i ze v§ech jazykii. A ktery jazyk je tedy nejkrasneA? Velky rusky spisovatel Lev Nikolajevie Tolstoj napsal pro mlade2 povidku CI oei jsou nejkrasnej§i.

Vypravuje v of o detech, ktere se ptou, ktere oei jsou nejkrasnejgi.

Nektere pokladaji za nejkrasnej§i oei eerne, *line modre atd. . .Jeden chlapec odpovedel: "Nejkrasnej§i oei ma moje maminka." — "A jako ma oei?" Chlapec v§ak nevedel. — A tak je to i s jazyky: matefsky jazyk je nejkrasnej§i. Stejnym pravem to Kira eech jako Slovak, ptislu§nil< nejmen§iho naroda stejne jako ptislugnik nejvet§iho naroda. V§ech jazykil si vaiime, matetsky nadto milujeme. Jen ten, kdo miluje svilj matetsky jazyk a vaii si ho, dovede ctft jine jazyky.

Vztah mezi matetskym jazykem a elovekem si uvedomuji v§echny kulturni narody. Dilkazem toho jsou "chvaly" matetskeho jazyka, vyznanf ricty a lasky k nernu. Najdeme je u v§ech kulturnich naroda. Napt.

Pteetete si jednu: Do sveho jazyka uloiil narod behem mnoha tisicileti a v milionech jednotlivcu myaienky a svoje city.

Ptiroda, zeme i dejiny naroda obraIejici se v dui lidske na§ly svfij vyraz ye slovech. Lide mizeli, ale slova, ktera stvorili, zUstavala jako veend a nevyeerpatelna pokladnice narodniho jazyka; a tak kaide slovo jazyka, ka2da jeho forma je vyslednici myMenek a cite lidskych, jimi2 se v slovech °dra g pi iroda zeme i dejiny naroda.

Tuto chvalu ruskeho jazyka napsal slavny pedagog K. D. Uginskij. si, ze se tytei my§lenky objevuji i • ✓ chvalach eeskeho jazyka, ktere uvadime dale, a jiste vas napadne, by chvaly U§inskeho mohli uiit i pffsluSnici jinych naroda. Ueelem chvaly narodniho jazyka totii nenf vyvySovat jej nad jine jazyky, nybr2 upozornit na alohu narodniho jazyka ✓ 2ivote narodniho spoleeenstvf. PIS1 je nejvetSf synove naroda, easto i s basnickou nadsazkou, nebot' nechtejf pasobit jen na rozum, ale i na cit a vali.

To vSe jsme si museli kfci, abychom si mohli s porozumenfm poslechnout, co napsali o eeskem jazyce: —SPJSTSfastne umira, ten, kdo poctive slou2i1 blahu sveho lidu . Al. V. Smilovsky.

—SPJSTNejsme odborniky, mu2eme vgak mluvit ze zku§enosti nabyt y ' ch ve velkem Domove s pal druhym stem starych lidi. Wady se ai srdce ottasa nad neporozumenim a nevainosti ke zvla§te slyMte: "NemiAeme mfti marninku (net) otce) dele u sebe, nedebi to dobrutu.

Stetuje si, ie ji nevenujeme dosti pozornosti, mluvfnie na of malo, musfme okfikovati deti, aby nedelaly hluk . . ." Pak rozSafne poznamenavajf, 2e staff majf byti sami pro sebe a mezi mlade se nehodf. Priznavate, obeas je v teat() siflioste(•11 hodne pravdy. Ne kaZda mat . ka of ka2dy otec se dovedou prizpbsobiti; syna neb dceru povatuji za "dile" i kdyi ma svoji vlastnf rodinu a proSedivele vlasy. Nu druhe strane mladf tide, kteif tak nerozvaZne mluvf o stall

zapomfnajf, ie i oni se dfive, ei pozdeji dostanou do stejne "kasty" ani by meli zaruku, ie jejich vlastni problem bude snadnej gi a Ude! radostnej§i.

Snad nejvet§i chybou, jizse mnozf z nas dopou§time je, 2e se na staff vaine neptipravujeme. Jeden se ohanf dobrym zdravfm, druhy spoleha na penfze. Obe jsou dalelite, ale nezarueujf takove staff o jakem po cely Zivot snime. Zdravf maie vypovedet sluZby a 2adne poklady sveta nekoupi actu a lasku v padu, jsme si je pfedem nezasloutili. Vstup do Domova pro stare lidi nenf v gak v dneSnf dobe iadnou tragedif, zvlaSte kdyi jest uvaZen a rozhodnut jak otcem, neb matkou, tak i celou rodinou. Proste nesmf byti provazen zlobou, ani hotkostf, ale vzajemnou dohodou. Hodne zale2f na vyberu Domova, rozsahu peee jak o zdrave, tak nemocne a samortejme platebnim podminkam. Nikde nenf nic zadarmo, protoie i dobroeinne tistavy musf odnekud brat penfze, aby mohly existovati. Naklady jsou obrovske, ne proto ie by se nehospodatilo, ale spfSe v dusledku rostoucfch poiadavka. fteSenf problema staff nezaefna v 65 neb pozdej§ich letech, musf se s nim poeftati za rnlada. Je naivnf fikat "na to je dost easu, ted' chceme u2fti 2ivota, pokud milieme a a2 sestarneme, pak teprve uvidfme, co se necha delat . ." Jak jsme se vySe zmfnili, u stareho eloveka to nenf pouze zdravf, nebo finanenf zajiStenf, ale vilittrif city. Jiste, 'Ze nikdo nechce byti nikomu na pfekaZku nebo obta, prave tak, jako nechce byti odstrkavan. Z vydeleene prace vytazeny start' elovek oeekava a ma piny narok na osobnf dustojnost, jinak by cely 2ivot pozbyl ceny. Mladf Tide ueini dobie kdy2 na problemy staff nebudou pohliieti jako na neco, co se VIA* "druhych;" to, co ueini pro sve rodiee bude reflektovati na jejich vlastnf odopoeinek.
