COMMENCEMENT JOURNEY TO ETERNITY G ive the rainbow in your heart to a cloudy friend, R eplace darkness with the beauty of light, A wait through storms to the very end.

D etermine to hold on through life's night.

With graduation on various levels held recently throughout the state, we feel that the graduates were told by various guest speakers in high school, colleges and universities to search and accept responsibility and to develop a strong philosophy of life, for these assets can only be a plus in one's overall achievement.

During graduation, one is usually told that an important part of their growth in especially high school was learning how to accept responsibility; also leadership and desire are vital attributes in future life, for one cannot be contented with what he/she has done. Growth must never cease, but remain constant throughout time.

Graduates usually are told that they must have a strong philosophy of life and develop concrete goals in order to live and enjoy life at its fullest.

To each graduate, may we extend our best wishes for a most rewarding future. www June being the wedding month bridegrooms usually value their brides highly. In most cases a man's earning power is his bride's best protection. For her and for the children, who, in due course arrive, it provides food, shelter, medical care, comfort and education; and what can take the place of this earning power if it ends? Generally speaking, the first line of defense is life insurance. Until there are surplus earnings to save and invest, this "prepaid estate" is the best the young family can afford.

Life insurance is available to fit into almost any budget, and a variety of settlements offer wide choices in adopting the treatment of the proceeds to any foreseeable, fixed family situation. *** Most of us realize in these days of progress, it is our responsibility of preparing our children for a good and productive life. This is done by first teaching them at home, then in the elementary schools, in high schools and then, hopefully, there will be the opportunity of going through college.

Then there is the span in which college does and will continue to play a most important part of their lives.

Unfortunately, many of our children will be deprived of the opportunity to enter college because they are not prepared for it financially. I personally feel, that as parents, we should do our best to provide that financial cushion in order for our children to have the opportunity to decide if college is the correct path for them to pursue.

One thing we must remember, however, is that educational funds do not just happen — they must be planned for and earned with hard work and sacrifice. As providers for the family, we can provide the protection for our families during the growing stages of their childhood by purchasing adequate life insurance.

When they are ready for that most important step of entering a university, we can utilize the cash we have accumulated in our life insurance program.

Some parents have planned for their children's education, but many others have not given this a thought.

If you have failed to give this any consideration, we suggest that you take the opportunity to act now.

Any local lodge sales representative throughout our SPJST would be delighted to discuss the insurance program according to your individual needs.

Plans for the activities are being finalized and will be announced in future issues of the Vestnik.

Our Society has been asked to participate in the Czech Heritage Day. This is certainly logical since our Home Office is located in Temple and the SPJST is a very important symbol of Czech Heritage in the area. To better acquaint the general public with our cultural contributions, the Supreme Lodge extends an invitation to our membership and to all Temple Citizens and Visitors to visit our newly relocated and remodeled Library, Archives and Museum. The Supreme Lodge also affirmed that the SPJST desires to be an active participant in the celebration and solicits the participation of its members throughout the state.

Additional information and a schedule of events will be forthcoming in future issues of the Vestnik.

Dear Members: The City of Temple will be celebrating its 100 year anniversary during the month of June. The eleven day Temple Centennial Celebration will extend over the period from June 19-29, 1981.

Among the highlights for the celebration will be six nightly performances or pageants which will depict the history, growth and progress of Temple.

Preceeding each performance will be a PreShow in honor of the special day being observed on that date.

The highlight of the Centennial Celebration for Czechs in Temple and throughout Texas will be Friday, June 26. That date has been designated as Czech Heritage Day of the Temple Centennial Celebration.

We feel highly honored that Temple Citizens have seen fit to recognize the contributions of Czechs in the growth and development of Temple and this area. The Czechs are the only ethnic group to have a special date designated to illustrate their cultural contributions to the area.

The Temple Centennial Commission has chosen Calvin C. Chervenka as Chairman of the Czech Heritage Day. He has devoted a tremendous amount of time to the planning and promotion of the event. Brother Chervenka has indicated a strong desire to make the , >, ,activities successful and of the highest quality.

Lodge No. 177 Plans Monthly Meeting

President Emil Matula of Lodge No. 133 is checking to see if all members were behaving while Lodge No. 133 paid a visit to the SPJST Museum and the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home in Taylor. A very enjoyable trip was sponsored by Lodge No. 133.

San Antonio Lodge No. 133 Takes Tour Dear Members and Friends: A few months ago a discussion was held on the subject of having a bus chartered and to take our members at the lodge's expense to see the Museum at the Supreme Lodge Headquarters and also to go see our sisters and brothers who are residents at the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home in Taylor. We all agreed that many of us are getting into that stage of life where our traveling will be limited, so that the majority approved of this project. It was a wonderful experience. Let me tell you something about it: The bus left Central Park Mall, San Antonio at 7 a.m. Sunday morn ing, with 41 passengers. We arrived in Temple at the Supreme Lodge Office at 9:20 a.m. Of course, we told Brother Otto Hanus that we would be there at 10 a.m., but when we were getting off the bus, Brother Otto already had the doors open and welcomed us in. He also had a pot of coffee made for us, and all the members assembled in the coffee room and enjoyed it very much.

Thank you, Brother Otto, you were most generous! Words can not express our feelings and the satisfaction that we all had when we toured the museum; many of the items brought memories to all of us, especially, the equipment that was related to farming; just looking at some of the horse-drawn plows made my legs sore, but I will never regret my life on the farm. My father was one of those persons who didn't like to see anybody idle, so there was always plenty of work.

Dominic Netek, secryt an. of Lodg No. 133, and Skier Tillie A alchar visiting at the Rest Home in Taylor.

When we left Temple, we were guests at the SPJST Hall in Taylor.

We had dinner there and a few cold ones, and also some good music from the juke box. It was very enjoyable and we want to thank Taylor Lodge No. 29 for their kindness and their time putting up with us. It was a very fraternal gesture on their part.

Thank you ever so much!

After we left the SPJST Hall in Taylor, we arrived at the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home. We got to see most of the residents, chatted with them for a short while, and then we got together and sang some good old Czech songs for the residents. It was very much appreciated; we could tell on the happy faces, and the many tears that were shed when singing some of the well-known songs that we all know. We know that they enjoyed us singing for them, but we also enjoyed it as much as they did; to make someone smile and happy just for a moment will always give you a lot of satisfaction.

We, the members, wish to thank our President Emil Matula for making all the arrangements; after all, it takes some work by somebody.

We hope, that in the future, we can once again take a trip like this maybe across the border, which is only 150 miles away. The members deserve a 'pat on the back' for being prompt in boarding the bus and being good listeners.

Remember, Lodge No 133 will have their regular meeting June 21st at 1505 S. Gevers Street, at 2 p.m.

Come out and let us hear from you Fraternally, Dominic Netek.

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!

Fraternally, D. A. Juren, Secretary —SPJST-

lengthy illness in M.D. Anderson Hospital here in Houston, at the age of 58 years. Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 5 at Frydek from St. Mary's Catholic Church, under the direction of Ellinger Funeral Home of Sealy,• Texas. Interment was in the church cemetery with Father Bernard Snock officiating.

Olga Siska was married April 24, 1946 to Fred F. Siska who preceded her in death 25 November 1980. She was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church and SPJST Lodge No. 21 at Engle, Texas. Survivors are: two daughters, Mrs. Julia Kuhn and Mrs. Kenneth (Dorothy) Rainosek, both of Houston; two sons, Freddie Siska of Wharton and Lawrence J. Siska of Frydek; five sisters, Mrs. Robert Dewer, Mrs. Fred Burl, Mrs. F. A. Kadlecek, Mrs. James Pavlicek, all of Houston and Mrs. H. Machala of Sealy; one brother, Charles Jalufka of South Houston; and four grandchildren, Jessie, Lisa and Jeffrey Rainosek and Justine Siska. Besides her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jalufka. We extend our sincere sympathy to the surviving family.

The following is unbelievable, but a true story that happened to one of our regular guests, Mrs. Edna Rupert. Mr. and Mrs. Rupert are very close friends of Brother Noble Keaton and his spouse, Kay. It was in the mid-30s when the mother of eight children was faced with the task of rearing a family of eight children alone, by working in a laundry and on her feet all day ironing while the oldest, Helen, helped out with the younger children. It was hard and they were happy to be together, but neighbors complained to the officials that the mother was not providing sufficiently for the family and the authorities were directed to remove the children from their mother's care. Violet (now Mrs. Emerson) and the three youngest were placed in the Kansas Children's Home and Service League in Topeka. When the authorities realized that the adoption of the eleven-year-old Violet was unlikely, she was sent home to her mother. Four-year-old Jack was adopted in 1937 and the eight-year-old twins, Norman and Norma, were adopted together by foster parents. Through the years the five children grew up with their mother and kept in close touch with each other. The twins also kept in touch with each other through the years; only Jack, the youngest, was entirely alone with no contact with his brothers and sisters, until in February, 1981, Norma Rhodes, a resident of Pampa, Texas called the Orphanage's Topeka office, after learning that sealed records could be opened. Through this channel, after 43 years, she located the youngest of the eight, Jack Boys; after that, their search continued and, finally, they were all re-united Easter Sunday in 1981 at Topeka on their mother's birthday; she died in 1974.

Saturday morning before Easter Sunday, her children placed a huge bouquet on their mother's grave.

Jack Boys never married and his adoptive mother died but his adoptive father, Louis Boys, was an honored guest at the family reunion with everyone deliriously happy after 43 long years.

Joe and Della Miksch just came back from one of their visits to Las Vegas (I think this was the third time this year). They left by car May 9 to visit with Della's mother, Mrs. Tony Hejl in Taylor, Texas where she resides in the Sweetbriar Nursing Home for several years now. From there they headed for Phoenix, Arizona to spend some time with their son, Joseph and daughter-ir-law, Dona; from there straight on to Las Vegas for four days and four nights to get the feel of the tables and the levers of the mysterious one-armed bandits; both love anything there is offered to win. After the four hard-working days on to California to spend time with Della's sister, Mrs. Lydia Peterson and nephew, Ronnie and, of course, while there they couldn't avoid going to the races and trying their luck. Now they are at home relaxing and planning to fly next time and very soon.

Glad to hear that Sister Annie Flukinger, sister of Birdie Pech, is doing fine after her surgery in St. Joseph's Hospital and will come home in a few days to recuperate at home.

Leslie and Mabel Guyton of Franklin, Texas were in Houston for a couple of days to attend a wedding Sunday and, Saturday night danced to the tunes of the Knights of Dixie Orchestra playing for the regular Saturday night dance at Lodge No. 88; it was nice to see you.

While in Ellinger, Texas attending a wedding, Tom and Clara Jecmenek were asked by Mr. Kramr about the pecan trees planted at the S.P.J.S.T. Needville Rest Home and one tree being out of line from the others and he wanted to know why?

Tom referred Mr. Kramr to Louis Hanus, District V Director, because he must have had some reason for planting one out of line; so many want to know WHY and it is getting very mysterious.

Several of our youths graduated this year and among them were: Jeff Elzner, Bobby Miksch and Debbie Wehring; they graduated from Waltrip High School, Saturday, May 23, 1981. Wanda Kennedy, mother of Jeff, entertained the young boys and girls with a swimming party on the patio; also John Elzner is home for the summer months from the Sam Houston University to try his luck in selling Datsun cars with his friend, George Zaludek. Good luck to all!

Advance tickets for the Hawaiian Dance are available in the lodge office: $6 per person; the dance will take place Saturday, June 27th.

Hill Country Lodge No. 185, New Braunfels May 17th was a special day at our Hill Country Lodge. The weather was right, the barbecued chicken with all the trimmings and extra goodies were delicious.

For the second year, Erwin Meckl has graciously provided his beautiful place on the Guadalupe River for our Spring Fling. It was unanimous, to have Clara Doeppelschmidt and Erwin Meckl become honorary social members of Hill Country Lodge 185 and we hope they will enjoy our group as much as we enjoy being with them!

Our Youth group, once again, made us very proud of the beautiful work they did for the rest home at Easter and all of our wishes for a speedy recovery go to Dorothy Pape's mother; we are also happy to hear that Jim Harding is recovering so well.

Our sincere congratulations go to Roy Haag who recently completed

his Master's Degree in Music.

The Polka Fest was the topic of discussion during, the meeting and July 18 and 19 should be two days of fun, food and dancing. Each year it is good to, once again, see all the familiar faces and meet new ones; after all, that is what the polka fests are for.

President Jasek officially thanked everyone who helped at the Spring Fling and especially to Charles Schandau, and Brother Pape for that deliciously-barbecued chicken, Howard Athas for the beer, our hosts, Clara and Erwin and all the members who brought salads and desserts. A special welcome was extended to our guests (and future members) Kim Parker, David Boyers, Scott Muehlstein, Mr. and Mrs. Haag, Emma K. McMahan and Emmet McMahan from Nacogdoches.

Next Floresville Lodge 107 Monthly Meeting June 14th Summer is around the corner, graduation time is here, we're all busy in our gardens and would you believe we're almost in the sixth month of 81? It just doesn't seem possible that time could go by so fast.

Lodge No. 107 held its regular meeting May 3, 1981 at 4 p.m. The attendance was rather small compared to what it has been.

President Bayer called the meeting to order and the membership repeated the Pledge to the Flag.

All the officers answered the roll call.

The secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting and reports from the financial secretary and the treasurer were heard.

Joe Pavliska took out some additional insurance.

Youth Leader Polly Bayer gave the youth club report.

President Bayer gave a very interesting demonstration on "Listening and Communicating."

The children sat spellbound as a pair of children, hidden from each other by a large screen, tried to arrange blocks of wood in certain positions just by listening to the instructions of another person. A tape was played and the children were asked to listen and then a quiz was given on what was said. The importance of listening, children to parents and parents to children, was emphasized. The generation gap can be closed if we only listen one to the other.

Phyllis Roemer is to be asked to be our Peanut Festival representa tive.

A suggestion was made that other youth clubs, the 4H Club, Boy Scouts and various church organizations be asked to challenge Lodge No 107 in the Peanut-Shelling Contest. More publicity was also suggested.

Tony Svoboda donated some wire netting to cover the barbecue pits.

He and several other members repaired the pits so that they are ready for summer barbecues.

All the overhead fans have been installed and the hall is now com fortably cool.

A walk-in cooler has been found and the installation of it is to be begun soon.

The lodge has been given an offer to cater a meal for the South Texas Fair Association. A motion by John Burleson to cater the meal was approved by the members.

Wednesday, June 3, 1981 — VESTNfK/7

President Bayer gave a report of NOTICE General Fund finances and also the Memorial Fund.

Dear Readers and Editor: I have picked up some more news that I wish to have printed in the Vestnik.

My dear daughter Ann came to my home Saturday, May 9, 1981. I got in her car at 4 p.m. and we went to the SPJST and Sokol Hall to an invited wedding. I had the pleasure to shake hands with dear Jerry and Millie Elzner, the new Mrs. Marsha (Elzner) and her husband Joseph Frank Ianniello and also many other attendants. I do not know how many persons were there, but it took 1/2 hour to serve the meal on plates in two long lines at the same time.

Mrs. Venie Kucera and I stayed at our table while dear James and his lovely wife, Geraldine served our table. Our companionship included Mrs. Lillian Hruska, Mr. and Mrs. Zaludek from Austin, Texas; Mrs. Linda Zaludek is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emil and Della Elzner of Taft. (Zaludek's home is near my dear daughter, Lillie and husband, John Huber's home). Also at the table were Mr. Leroy and Mrs. Midge Wood Ryza.

While we ate supper seven uniformed Mexican :musicians

entertained at the tables to the married loving couple occupied with the Elzner and Ianniello families, also they played and sang at all tables for about 450 persons. Then the Majek's Orchestra took over with the wedding march. Names were announced to whom the next number will be dedicated and my name was in the program. My sincere thanks to Majek's Orchestra.

The popular number was "Memories of Cameron."

During the first intermission, we departed for home at 9:20 p.m. and I was back in my loving home.

Today I would like to include some of the highlights of the ElznerIanniello wedding.

Miss Marsha Elzner and Joe Ianniello, both of Houston, were married May 9. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Corpus Christi, Texas.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry L. Elzner of Corpus Christi and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Pasquale Ianniello of Buffalo, New York.

Miss Carol Alkire of San Antonio was maid of honor and Joe Corbran of Buffalo was best man.

The bride is a graduate of King High School and Breckenridge School of Nursing in Austin. The groom is a graduate of South Park High School and State University of New York, both in Buffalo.

Following a trip to the Bahamas, the couple will live in Houston.

Dear Marsha and Joseph F. Ianniello: May the blessings of love and happiness always be yours.

Congratulations!

An Invitation to Another Wedding May 10, 1981 at 7 a.m., my son Johnny came to my home and took me to his home; from there four persons got in the car which included: Johnny, Elsie, Arnold Linsay and me, at 8:15 a.m.; we were on the way to San Antonio to attend the wedding of Donna Jean Lilly and Dennis Wayne Stasa. My dear grandson Dennis is the youngest son of parents, Johnny and Elsie Stasa.

We made a stop in Pleasanton at the service station. At 11 a.m. we met dear Donna and Dennis. After lunch we all went to the Historic Little Church of La Villita, non-denominational, located on 508 Villita Street.

The Little Church of La Villita in Gothie revival architecture, was built in 1879. The stone blocks were acquired near the "Sunken Gardens" in Brackenridge Park and carried on small carts drawn by burros.

The wedding ceremony started at 1:15 p.m. Afterwards we all attended the reception and dinner, at the home of Donna's parents. It was another wonderful moment in my life to meet my new friendly relatives.

At 4 p.m. we said good-bye and returned to our homes. The weather and the atmosphere was ideal, it was everything at this occasion.

Dear Donna and Dennis: May that sweet and solemn moment when you pledged eternal love be a wonderful beginning for the life you are dreaming of and may you find the home you share, filled with joy and laughter and the special kind of happiness that lasts forever after. Congratulations to you both!

Fraternalist Activity May 7, 1981, Roy Peal, my son-inlaw and I attended the monthly meeting of the Executive Government Committee of SPJST Lodge No. 79 and Sokol Corpus Christi.

There were 14 members present.

We all missed Brother Frank Veselka; that same day he underwent heart surgery in Scott & White Hospital in Temple at the age of 72.

This committee discussed all important business. The meetings are held one week before the regular monthly meetings. The reports are announced all the time in the Lodge No. 79 and Sokol meetings. On this recommended proposals are voted on.

Regular Monthly Meetings Every second Thursday of each month Lodge No. 79 meeting is called to order by the president; if he is not present, then the vice president takes the chair and, if the vice president is not present, then secretary takes over. It happened in our Lodge No. 79 May 14, 1981 meeting where President Frank Veselka was missing; also Vice President Monty Foster was missing.

The meeting was opened by Secretary Mack Munson and his dear wife, Mrs. Doreen Munson took the notes.

We learned, in this meeting, that Brother Frank Veselka is doing fine.

We all are wishing him a fast recovery.

There were four new members for $6,000 of insurance; they were accepted in our lodge. We all wish to see them in our monthly meetings and to help the regular work that is needed to keep our hall in good condition.

Sokol Corpus Christi Meeting The meeting was called to order at 8 p.m. on May 14, 1981 by President Gene Lehnert.

We all stood and recited the Pledge of Allegiance to our U.S. Flag.

Sokol's membership is much smaller than Lodge No. 79 membership but, as usual, the attendance is much larger. All regular Sokol meetings are performed after the local Lodge No. 79 SPJST meeting.

The Executive Government Committee and all the other committees gave reports on the monthly basis business. All these reports were accepted with applause. This present management deserves our sincere thanks and appreciation for their fine work. It is a great business for it grows rapidly every month.

We are in need of some more goodhearted volunteers.

Gymnastic classes are active; some classes will attend the Sokol competition held in Ennis on June 6, 1981; and some of the high gym classes will attend the XV National Slet and Gymnastic Championships June 24-28, 1981 in Fort Worth, Texas. Our Sokol Unit Corpus Christi is wishing a great success to all the participants.

Brother Frank Veselka was born 19 February 1909. He joined the SPJST Lodge No. 79 on 20 September 1925; in 1929, he helped organize Sokol Unit in Corpus Christi and later he joined the Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Association (SMFIA). He was very active in all these organizations.

(Article submitted by SL SecretaryTreasurer Leonard Mikeska) - SPJST-

Temple is the center of a large concentration of citizens of Czechoslovak descent, and this ethnic group has contributed much to Temple's growth, economic stability, and social structure. Accordingly, Friday, June 26, has been designated as "Czech Heritage Day" in Temple.

Temple will become an even more "Czech Town" on that date as Czechs from all over Texas converge upon this city to help celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime event. Czech signs on marquees and in business windows will greet visitors and people will be wearing colorful Czech costumes.

The state headquarters of two Czech-founded fraternal/mutual organizations are located in Temple and each of these groups will be hosting 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. receptions for Temple citizens as well as out-of-town centennial visitors.

The Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas (SPJST) is the largest Czech-founded fraternal order in Texas. It was established in 1897 to meet the life insurance and humanitarian needs of the early Czechs in Texas and it now continues these same outstanding services to Czechs and non-Czechs alike.

In addition to housing the state administrative offices, the modern SPJST Building in Temple also houses the permanent SPJST Library, Archives, and Museum.

These facilities only recently were moved to more spacious and renovated quarters.

The SPJST Reception will be the first large scale showing of this outstanding display of and tribute to the heritage of the Czechs in Texas.

SPJST officers and staff members will be conducting guided tours of the entire building and refreshments will be served.

Temple also is the state headquarters of the Farmers Mutual Protective Association of Texas (RVOS) which is the largest Czechfounded farm mutual insurance society in Texas. It was founded in 1901 near Temple, at Ocker in East Bell County.

The RVOS has just moved into its newly-completed, 16,000 square foot home office building in Temple which will be the site of another allday reception and Czech heritage display.

This will be an outstanding opportunity for Temple citizens as well

as all Centennial visitors to view this new facility. RVOS officials and staff members will be conducting guided tours of the building and refreshments will be served.

The RVOS Reception will feature outstanding visiting exhibits which will portray several really significant, often overlooked, aspects of the heritage of the Czechs in Texas.

Outstanding puppeteer-educators will present a puppetry exhibit with a focus on the leadership role played

by Czechoslovak puppeteers from ancient to modern times. Puppetry is believed to have been very popular with Czechoslovak emigrants to America. Visitors are urged to bring their puppets and information concerning the popularity of puppetry in their families.

Another exhibit in the RVOS Building will feature dolls dressed in replicas of Czechoslovak provincial costumes. The exhibit will include actual costumes. A Czechoslovak visitor to this country will demonstrate how the famous Czech embroidery is made.

Other exhibits will include the hand painting of the famous Czech Easter eggs, Czech painting and illustration, woodcarving, ornamental glass working and others.

A Czech Genealogical Exchange will be conducted by several leading Czech genealogists of Texas.

Visitors are invited to bring their genealogical information and inquiries.

Also at the RVOS Reception will be a continuous showing of "Czechs of Temple, Texas, USA, and the World". This is a series of slide presentations from collections at Temple Junior College, Texas Education Agency, and the Institute of Texan Cultures.

On the evening of June 26, visitors may see a 90-minute, professionally produced pageant, "This Time .. .

This Land". The pageant will feature a cast of 500 and will tell the 100-year history of Temple. The pageant will be presented in the Wildcat Stadium at Temple High School.

As a one-hour Pre-Show to that pageant, Czechs of the Central Texas area will present "Czech Temple". This mini-pageant will describe the involvement, of the Czechs in the musical life of Temple and the World. It will include glimpses into the Czech mentality and the resulting influence on the social and economic life of this area.

This story will be told against a background of live Czech music, dancing, song, and colorful costumes.

Chairman of the Czech Heritage Day Committee of the Temple Centennial is Calvin C. Chervenka, instructor of Physics and Engineering and Coordinator of Czech Programs at Temple Junior College. Other members of the committee are Jeanette E. Jarolik, secretary, Bernie Gebala, Jerry Haisler, Leonard Mikeska, and Jerry E. Valchar.

Chervenka emphasizes that Czechs and non-Czechs alike are invited to all Czech Heritage Day activities. Motto for the event is "This is the real Czech heritage which belongs to all Texans".

The RVOS Building is located at 2301 South 37th Street and the SPJST Building is located at 520 North Main Street.

All events are free except the evening pageants for which there is a single admission of three dollars.

Tickets will be available at the RVOS and SPJST Receptions, Centennial Headquarters, and the Wildcat Stadium gates.

MY AMERICAN CREED I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon ... if I can. I seek opportunity ... not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a handout. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the calm state of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a dole. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, "This I have done."

All this is what it means to be an

American.

The first form due is Form N. 36 called the Camp Qualification's Form. It was due May 31st, so if you had not mailed yours in, you should do so right away.

The leaders' training class held in Taylor May 18 was a success and the leaders attending are to be complimented for their attendance and their enthusiasm in their local lodge youth clubs. There were eleven present and some of the topics covered were Rule Book changes, point value changes, YAD, camp and entry cards and changes in filling out these cards. The important changes in filling out the YAD cards is that you make a duplicate card and the local youth leader keeps one of them. The main change in the camp application is tiiat: it must be

Lodge No. 29 Youth Club meeting held April 12, 1981, with 42 youngsters attending. (Photo by Ronald Marx) notorized by a notary public. There were many minor changes but too many to try to mention here -so I hope, that before YAD, I can be with each leader who-was not present at the training class; also the leaders who were not present must get all of their supplies for the new youth year starting June 1, 1981. Please get these forms from SYD Jann Thomas at Headquarters. Jann attended and helped conduct the training class and we thank her for her help. We also wish to thank the members of Lodge No. 29, Taylor for the use of their facilities to hold this class.

The Taylor Lodge No. 29 Youth Club is the largest youth club in our district with over 70 youth members. In a recent visit to Lodge No. 29 at their monthly youth club meeting, there were 42 youngsters present and about 8 adults.

Enclosed is a picture of the youth members attending that meeting.

Youth Leader Melvin Steger and his wife, Geraldine, who is one of the assistants and Donna Pasemann, the other assistant, are to be complimented for keeping such a great group of youth people attending the youth club meetings. May they keep up the good work.

In District II we have all good local youth leaders and assistants and they all work hard for their local lodge youth clubs and the whole SPJST Society is grateful for the efforts these leaders put out. Thanks to all of you for the past year 1980-81 which just ended May 31st and may the year 1981-82 be a more bountiful year for you and your youth club.

The vegetable gardens and all the field crops look very favorable and we hope this will continue until they are all harvested.

To all children in District II: May you have an enjoyable summer and enjoy your vacation from the school days.

If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.

If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.

If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.

Nate mestska, rada ma stale nejake nesnaze a potlie s rriznyma ethnickyma skupinama. Tteba jako mexikani potdd chtf aby se zjednaly ueitelky ktere umi mexicky i anglicky aby mohly vyueovat jejich deti — ale kde na to se najdou penize, o to se nestaraji! eernoti zase mermomoci chtf aby se udelal zakon, ktery by donutil bile deti (od prvnl tHdy al do posledni) ptejlidet do eernotske tkoly v eernotske edsti mesta. Ovtem, beloti to rozhodne nechti a mnozl radeji posilaji deti do privatnf bile tkoly ac je to stoji velke penize.

Soudce 'Barefoot' Sanders pry ma ptitti mesic podat sve rozhodnuti a asi to bude vtelijake a spokojeny nebude iddny, a rozepte budou zase.

Casto eteme o rriznych matkach ktere o sve deti nedbaji anebo jim ublauji a mnoha, je i opusti a necha kohosi jineho je opatrovat. 0 tech druhych, ktere majf ldsku a soucit s detmi jinych, malokdy uslyMme. Avtak pteei se nekdy vyskytne matka laskava a soucitna, k cizim &tem.

Jedna takova, jest p1. Dorothy Johnsonova, v Chicagu, kterd pracovala s dedeekem jistYch trojeat jehoi dcera byla oputtend manielem, kdyti se v nemocnici dovedel, ie jeho manielka povila dve deveata a hocha.

Jednodute utekl a nikdy vie ho nikdo neuvidel. Dededek deti si nevedel rady a tak zjednal p1. Johnsonovou aby Ma vest jim domacnost a opatrovat deti. Tato vychovala etyti sve deti a v 50. letech jako vdova si myslela, ie se ji bude It dobre a bez starostl. Ptece ale ptijmula tu praci a opatrovala deti i jejich matku, ale jednoho rana se probudila a videla, 2e matka pies not zmizela a vie o ni nebylo slechu.

Vtecka prate nynf byla na ni a opatrovat tti deti najednou bylo na ni vic nez dost, ale delala to rada.

Nejaky nas to trvalo a pak jednoho dne natla dedeeka na zemi mrtveho.

Tak co ted'? Deti nernely nikoho a tak se starala dal ale mela strach, ritady ji deti vezmou. Musela se vystehovat z domu a hledat jine obydli. Deti nynf byly pod ochranou statu a ona na ne dostdvala podporu.

Ale vte ptekonala a kdy2 &tem bylo 8 let a ji 57 let tak tli pied soudce a

ona iacala aby mohla si je adoptovat za sve a aby ony mohly zristat pohromade. Soudce ji adoptaci ddvolil a tekl detem,ze jsou tfastni mit takovou matku. Rodina nynf bydli v Ciceru u Chicaga a detem jest 11 let a jf 60 a starosti ma dost ale je teastna, ze deti ma u ebe. Kdyi to elovek ete, tak si jiste pomysli jaky je to rozdil takova matka jako tato a ty druhe.

Tato matka si zaslou2i Nitechnu lasku a vdeenost dal za vtechnu jeji praci a obetavost — 2e ano?
