`Editor

This week your editor will concentrate most of his efforts on calling attention to the American Sokol Organization (ASO) SLET to be held June 24-28 at the Tarrant County Convention Center in Fort Worth. In last week's issue, on pages 8 and 9, we published all the information pertaining to the (for many of us) oncein-a-lifetime happening. To all of our SPJST members this is a very special occasion because both organizations were founded on sound nonsectarian and non-political princi ples; in other words your religious, political, etc. beliefs are your own business and not any business of either organization and that is why they are not allowed for discussion in the meetings of either.

The SPJST sells fraternal life insurance, practices benevolence, brotherhood and humanity and fosters Czech culture, heritage, language and;patriotism.

Sokol teaches physical fitness, alertness of mind, brotherhood, Czech culture, heritage, language and selfdiscipline plus patriotism. Therefore, these two organizations are very closely connected in seeking to find the best in their memberS; Sokol's mottos are: "A sound mind in a sound body"/"No personal gain (financially), no personal glory." In short, the entire unit and organization work for the benefit of the whole and entire membership.

What an ideal to work for! Have you ever witnessed the spirit of the contestants cheering each other on?

You will see much of this at the ASO SLET in Fort Worth June 24-28! We will see you there.

Sunday, June 14th. Last week another Youth Achievement Day was held; this time Lodge No. 66 Waco members volunteered to host the annual occasion in District HI. More information and pictures will be available in later issues of Vestnik.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." *** The Birth of the Pledge of Allegiance. The National School Week Public School children first recited the pledge as they saluted the flag during the National School Celebration in 1892. President Benjamin Harrison at that time called for patriotic exercises in schools to mark the 400th Anniversary of the discovery of America.

Born in 1855 and died in 1931, Francis Bellamy of Boston was, an associate editor of the Youth's Companion who composed the pledge. It was during the National Flag Conference of the American Legion who expanded the original wording in 1923-24. Then in 1942 Congress made the pledge a part of its code for the use of the flag. In 1954 the words "under God" were added to the pledge. ***

Fourth of July marks another anniversary of our battle to live in a free country. We have fought many battles since for the same reason.

But, what is this FREEDOM for which so many have died?

Freedom is a personal thing.

Freedom is an open door, but you must walk through it.

Freedom is a ladder, but you must climb it.

Freedom doesn't mean that you can do what you please, but it does mean that there isn't anything *** Your editor has been advising our holding you back from striving to members and readers that next make your finest dreams come true.

From the Vice President's Office From the SL VicePresident's Office Lodge 187 Sales Representatives Participate in Insurance Seminar The Insurance Department, answering a request of Lodge 187 President Red Oman, conducted an Insurance Seminar in Round Rock Wednesday, June 10th.

Eight (8) of the thirteen (13) sales representatives of Lodge 187 were present at the seminar conducted by SFM Gene McBride. An overview of the projected computer operations at the Supreme Lodge and how it will effect the sales representatives was also given by Scott Zetek, Supreme Lodge Computer Operator at the meeting.

Those in attendance were Cathryn Delancey, W. G. Gainer, Sandra Giarrusso, Bill Holman, D. L. (Red) Oman, Rubie Volek, Ella Woytek and Ray Woytek.

Any local lodge president desiring a special class to be scheduled for their lodge should contact SL Vice President Gebala and arrangements will be made. The Insurance Department stands enthusiastically ready to assist any local lodge in their endeavors to help our SPJST grow.

-SPJST--

Dear Members: July 5th, in its hall, at 2:30 p.m., the lodge will hold its monthly meeting. The agenda will cover the usual reports, special reports (if any), second special reading and discussion of the motion to sell the lodge building and any other business needing attention at this time The "Gathering" will take place after the meeting like always.

The first reading of the motion to sell the lodge building went well A trial vote was taken and there were all yes votes and no "no" votes.

There was a larger than normal attendance which would have made a "yes" vote harder to get but this made no difference. Again, in the July meeting, this motion will be dis cussed with a possible trial vote taken. Many members have asked why the three readings and dis cussions, on this motion, before a vote is taken. The answer is to allow those members, who usually yell the loudest, say nothing and normally do not attend meetings, to get their body in gear and get to the meetings

so they can have their say. This group of members does not include such members who are as follows: a) Too ill to attend meetings. b) Under doctors care with limited travel. c) Live'at a great distance and can attend only once in a while. d) Have the usual ailments of the aged, that prevent them from attending. e) Live close but far if they have to walk (usually have to rely on someone else for transportation). f) Usually attend but have family problems that prevent regular attendance.

After the vote is taken, in August, the membership, who attend these meetings and take their time to do so, should not have to answer to someone who does not take this time to attend. If the member does not take time to read the Vestnik and/or the local newspaper "The Tribune", he and/or she does not have any recourse after the final vote has been taken.

Again who is a voting member? It is any member who is 16 years of age or older, has $500 of insurance or more and this insurance is either paid-up or is still being paid on. Since we do not have any local dues these are the only requirements.

In the June meeting, on the 7th, all reports were accepted as given.

A new member was voted in. A motion was made and passed to invest some of the Board of Trustees' money in a 2%-year TC. As mentioned in a previous paragraph the motion to sell the lodge building was re-introduced, discussed and a trial vote taken.

The door prize was won by Sister Julie M. Janik and the Father's Day special prize was won by Brother Ladik Sabrsula.

The "Gathering", after the meeting, was attended by all present. The lodge furnished the liquid refreshments, salami on rye sandwiches and spiced ham on white sandwiches. Sisters Sperlik, Valigura, Janik, Haverda, Kortis, Brdecka, Luquette and Nezval added to make the table full. At this "Gathering" the lodge spent 650 per person present with all other food being donated. This includes items that can be and will be used in one or more of the next "Gatherings". Yet with this low cost, to the lodge, there was food enough for everyone, present, with plenty left over. On the table in this approximate order were spiced ham sandwiches on white, cheese on rye, salami on rye, ham and cheese on white, pickles, potato chips, 2 plates of kolaches, a jelly roll, pear slices, fruit cake, coffee cake, black berry pie, rice krispies cookies and other cookies.

Thanks again folks!!

See you faithful ones on the 5th.

Fraternally, Joseph D. Nezval President

Things are shaping up for our public picnic which will be held Sunday, July 26. The youth club will take care of parking cars. Chairpersons for the sale of tickets are Jerry Mikulas, Jr., and Willie and Adeline Kohutek.

Brother Frank Maruna gave a report on the new building which we hope will be complete by the time of the picnic.

Three bids were submitted for striping our parking lot. Brother Woodrow Marek, chairman of maintenance, was given the go-ahead to have the work done as soon as possible.

Youth Leader Shirley Patterson gave her youth club report stating the youth club planned on going to Six Flags Wednesday, June 17.

We also need a kitchen chairman for July. This does not include the picnic; we have chairpersons for that — so volunteer if you haven't had the kitchen this year.

Birthdays for June are Martha Klusacek, Llorraine Maas, and Ruby L. Bolton. Frankie and Irma Klinkovsky celebrate their anniversary this month. Congratulations to all of you. All mothers and fathers were recognized by being asked to stand and were applauded.

News From Lodge No. 88, Houston Regular monthly lodge meeting was Monday, June 8 and, again, for a fore-runner, we enjoyed our covered-dish supper served at 6:15 p.m. before the meeting. Fried chicken was supplied by the lodge and all the different covered vegetable dishes and pastry by the attending members; about 125 were present to enjoy it and, unanimously, agreed to continue every month as long as everyone enjoys it.

Coffee and ice tea were served with the meal. After the meeting the regular refreshments were enjoyed in the taproom.

There are always guests at the meeting. This time, besides Sister Albina Hilsher (not our member but she always is present and we enjoy having her), Sister Lillian Kruse had her guests with her: Mr. Frank and Mrs. Lidka Koudelka of Novy Jicin, Czechoslovakia visiting the United States for 5 months; I am sure they will be with us a few more times before leaving for home. Frank is Lillian's cousin from her mother's side. We are always glad to see the nice couple: Mr. Vilem and Mrs. Alice Souchek, Czech instructor at the University of Houston. To all these nice people, we express our appreciation.

Three nice "thank you" notes were read by our Secretary Clara Broz from Czech students of Mr. Vilem Souchek thanking for the gifts of scholarships from our lodge; namely: Mary Felcman, Floyd E. Ernstes and Frank Mikulastic. We appreciate the acknowledgements and we wish you good luck!

We are always sad to hear about our ailing members; there are always some reported and some we don't know about. Dear Joe Fusig is still in the hospital and we do miss him very much; Vlasta Zalmanek, Royal Warnasch and Mickey Rice, we hope they are back home by now and getting well.

Wedding anniversary announcements were made for Willie and Edna Wehring, 25 years; Joe and Katherine Knapick, 49 years (almost golden); and King ?rid Helen Hegwood, 26 years (they crossed the silver line). Numerous birthdays were reported and, as usual, a "Happy Birthday" song rang out from the assembly and best wishes to all.

Czech instructor at the University of Houston, Vilem Souchek, announced that he will volunteer his services to teach Czech at the lodge for ten weeks (one night-a-week) if there is enough interest shown. To our amazement, right on the spot, 23 persons raised their hands and, hopefully, there might be more.

Information on this will be given in ample time; in the meantime, get your pencils sharpened and your notebook ready. Mr. Souchek has a reputation of being an excellent teacher. I also wish to thank Alice Souchek for conveying greetings from my friend, Joe Kudrna" of Ennis, Texas, whom I have not seen since my late husband, Frank and Joe served on the SPJST By-laws Committee. Thank you, Joe for remembering Karl and Arnel Hassenbrock celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary at the Ray Jurecka

Dance held Saturday, May 30 with three tables surrounded by friends to make it a merry occasion; after the dance Karl and Arnel entertained all of them in their lovely home with a delicious breakfast, including the delicious hot homebaked break by Karl and, to my disappointment, I missed the whole party (but I hoped, maybe a loaf or half a loaf would pop up from somewhere; well, that's my loss), but next time, I will be on the spot. They tied the knot June 1, 1947. Happy Anniversary!

Grandfather Emil Slanina with his son, E. J. Slanina, Jr., attended the graduation of granddaughter, Charlotte Smith at the University of Texas. Charlotte received her wings as a Second Lieutenant in the US Air Force and also a degree in Art. Charlotte's first assignment is in Phoenix, Arizona, July 15 for her training. She is the daughter of Col. and Mrs. B. A. Smith of Peace Air Force Base in New Hampshire. Mrs. Smith is the daughter of our member, Emil J. Slanina. Congratulations!

The Dramatic Club "Hlahol" members of Lodge No. 88 enjoyed their guest performance of the play, "Neni panstvo jako panstvo" in Dallas Sunday, June 7 at Lodge No. 84. They wish to thank all for the royal hospitality received, and they hope the afternoon of June 7th will linger in the minds of the attending guests of the play for quite a while.

Thank you!

Reading the Vestnik of June 10, 1981, I especially appreciated the letter by Brother Dominic Netek "June 6, A Day To Remember." It kinda touched me because I also had a brother in WWI and Frank, very seldom and just by accident, lets the memories get the best of him. Frank also went back to see the places the Czech Legion fought with the French Army. Your letter, Brother Netek, illustrates the thoughts of survivors of different wars. God Bless them all.

Did you check in on the ceramic classes conducted by Sister Mary Schenburn? She will teach once-aweek, Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; be sure and bring your lunch.

Mary is a very good teacher and, if you are interested, come out and try your skill.

Advance tickets are on sale now, at the lodge office, for the annual Hawaiian Dance, Saturday, June 27; admission $6 per person. This is a once-a-year affair and always enjoyed.

Sunday, June 28, 1981 will be our District V Youth Achievement Day held at Lodge No. 88. All youth clubs of District Five are invited and urged to attend and take part in competing in different crafts and royalty competition. It will be a full day starting at 11:30 a.m. with a delicious dinner. At 2 p.m. judging.of crafts, talents, royalty and Beseda; at 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. a free dance with the Country-Western Band, to all attending the day's program; all others must pay $2.50. Remember: June 28 and come out and have an enjoyable time.

July 6 Meeting Date Set For Holland Lodge Tyrs No. 80 We held our regular monthly meeting Sunday, June 7. The meeting was called to order at 2:15 p.m. by the president of the lodge, Brother D. I. Bohac.

The Pledge of Allegiance was recited by all members present.

Roll call of officers showed all present, with the exception of Recording Secretary Alvin Martinets, who is still in the hospital.

The minutes of the May meeting were read by our Treasurer Glen Latham who is substituting for Brother Martinets during his illness.

President of the lodge thanked all the committees and members, who helped at our annual picnic, which was held Sunday, May 31. We did not have an overflowing crowd (some was due to the fact that a lot of the farmers in the surrounding area were busy in the fields and combining wheat). They were behind with this work due to the recent rains; talk about rain, we are having a lot of rain in this local area and a lot of wheat in this area is lost due to the heavy rains; I am sitting here writing this letter, and it is raining, in fact, since Tuesday, June 9 to Friday, June 12, we have shad over 4 inches of rain (in some places, more); no relief in sight. The milo and corn crops are very promising. I think that, in this part of the state, we will beat Nebraska or Illinois producing corn. I told some friends in Bartlett and Holland yesterday that they would have to put crops beside the corn stalks to hold them up due to the large ears; one hundred bushels to an acre or more.

Corning back to our meeting; we accepted five new members to our lodge. They are: Frank Pajestka, Jr., Brandon John Grigsby, Ryan John Voight, and Harold W. Morrison.

Welcome to our lodge!

Other business discussed was to re-roof some of the flat top roof on the hall. It was voted on to have this

work done in the near future.

Recently, we installed ceiling fans in the hall. They are a great help to our air-conditioning for the hall facilities.

The meeting adjourned at 3:15 p.m. to meet again Monday, July 6 at 8 p.m. The change of meeting was set due to the SS Cyril and Methodius Picnic in Granger Sunday, July 5.

Door prize winners were Ligie Ivicic, Louise Ivicic, Otto Horelica, Mary Barabas and D. I. Bohac.

The participants will gather in the tradition of their Czechoslovakian forefathers (Sokol founded in 1862, until it was suppressed by its present government in 1948) to compete athletically, perform together in, creative calisthenic numbers and enjoy the fellowship and brotherhood our democratic society allows.

Saturday, June 27th will feature the main events of the Slet. At 1 p.m., the Tarrant County Convention Center Arena will be the site of the Championship Competition. Top Quality Gymnasts will be competing in optional events; admission will be $3.

On the same day at 7 p.m., Farrington Field will be the site of the colorful Slet Program; as many as 2,000 participants will perform in this program. Several guest organizations including the SPJST and KJT will join in to perform the Horehronsky Cardas Folk Dance to the live music of the Dallas Czech Concert Orchestra; admission will be $3.

At the Slet Headquarters Hotel, the Hyatt Regency, a cultural and Historical Exhibit, featuring many interesting items from Czechoslovakia, as well as Czech History in America will be on display; admission to this will be free.

This National Slet event is normally held in the Chicago area, making this a "Once In A Lifetime" opportunity for Czech-Texans to view and take part in their local area.

Please make plans to attend. We know activity schedules are very busy this time of the year, but consider the significance of this event and arrange your schedule to attend.

Your support would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking forward to seeing you at Slet '81.

Nazdar!

Meeting of Sokol Corpus Christi The Sokol regular meeting was held 11 June 1981. President Gene Lehnert called the meeting to order at 8:15 p.m.

All officers were present.

After the Pledge of Allegiance, members stood for a moment of silent tribute for our deceased Sister Victoria Stasny, age 78. She passed away 29 May 1981, in Corpus Christi. She was a native of Bryan, Texas and had lived here since 1923.

She is survived by her husband, Louis Stasny of Corpus Christi; and two nephews, Charles Stasny and Charles Kosh of Bryan.

Jesse Baker and Marjorie Gerdes joined our Sokol Unit.

We need replacements for all those who passed away and/or drop membership; at the present time, we have 227 members.

All reports were accepted.

In the Vestnik of June 10, 1981 on page 7 issue, next to my letter, there was one more letter from Corpus Christi. What a surprise for me!

From now on, I hope there will be more news from our members of Sokol and SPJST. Gracie Kubala is the dear wife of Louis Kubala; they have two small children: a girl about 2 or 3 years old and a boy about 2 or 3 months old. This boy was admitted to our Lodge No. 79 in the meeting held 11 June 1981. Before Louis married and moved from Corpus Christi several years ago, he was active in the Youth Club and in Sokol Unit. They are 100 percent SPJST. Sincere thanks to you, Sister Gracie Kubala for the informative report. Please keep up the good work!

Nazdar!

Show/ Spaghetti Supper Held In Corpus Christi

At 3 p.m. June 14, I attended a wonderful program. It was a great pleasure to meet so many fine people, most of them fraternalists.

In the bar room was the friendly Duzienski family; at the table I shook hands with SPJST member, Adolf Sassin, Sr., age 94, and his dear daughter, Mary Ilermis and our member of Lodge No. 79 Sister Aloisie Sladek, age 88. She joined the SPJST 19 May 1912, Certificate Class A. I have a certificate, also Class A, joined SPJST Lodge No. 15, Buckholts, Texas 11 June 1911.

Sister Sladek is in good health. I have known her since 1970 when Hurricane Celia made great damage to the property owners. Sladek's business building was covered with insurance by the Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Association. The late Charles Holasek, secretary and appraiser, and I (serving as president then) and also appraiser, investigated the damage on the building.

I walked to the program room about 2:30 p.m. and found some empty chairs at the table occupied

by Victor Huff and his lovely wife, Rosie; the other tables were taken up by Roy and Patrick Peal (seven in the family) and on the other end Sister Lillian Hruska and Louis Sladek.

At 3 p.m., the style show started.

There were- ten men (each one changed his dress three times) and three boys. After the appearance all these persons were on the stage to be judged; namely: Mack Munson, Monta Foster, David Lehnert, Majko Majek, Ronnie Majek, Roy Peal, Marcus Rebecek, Gene Lehnert, Gerry Creegar and Brother Patteway. The boys included Stephen Rebecek and the two Majek boys. The contest winner was Ronnie Majek. Congratulations to all the participants! It was wonderful. I enjoyed it very much and so did many others in the audience.

The hard-working lodies in the kitchen were ready to serve the spaghetti supper for $3.50 per. plate.

There was no admission for the style show. There were also some tickets in circulation to sell. I do not know the winners' names. $250 was planned for this project; the clear profit will be used for the Lodge No. 79 Expense Fund.

It was a pleasure to shake hands with Sokol members, Brother Eddie and Sister Christine Knapek. It is another moment added to my memory book.

At the present time we are soaked everyday with some showers.

The very popular Jerry Haisler and The Melody Five Group will be the feature orchestra at the Pre-Show Pageant for Czech Heritage Day of the Temple Centennial Celebration. The program will be held at Temple Wildcat Stadium June 26 beginning at 7:30 p.m. The orchestra is well-known throughout the Central Texas area for Polka/Country-Western Music. Members of the group are L to R H. D. "Dewey" Wofford, Jr. - Bass guitar and vocals; Alice Sulak Tenor Saxophone and Czech vocals; Bobbie Haisler - Drums; Robert "Bob" Haisler - Accordian; Jerry Haisler - Lead Guitar, Tenor Saxophone and vocals; and James Mudd - Lead vocalist and rhythm guitar.

Musical Show To Close Czech Heritage Day of Temple Centennial There are three widespread beliefs that "every Czech is a musician", "most Czechs would rather play music than eat", and "a Czech babe left with any musical instrument soon would learn to play polkas and waltzes on that instrument".

Also, it is well-known that several very talented Czech musicians in history have foregone probable great musical careers because they preferred to play for the enjoyment of others.

It is believed that, the melodic tones found in the Czech language have something to do with the Czechs great love and "ear for music".

"Jerry Haisler and the Melody 5" is a very popular Temple-based country-western and polka band whose members typify many of these beliefs. They will head-line the evening pageant pre-show on the Czech Heritage Day of the Temple Centennial Friday, June 26.

The Melody 5 orchestra consists of Jerry Haisler who is the leader, his father Robert Haisler, Jerry's nephew Bobby Haisler, Alice Sulak, H. D. Wofford, and James Mudd.

The three Haislers in the band represent three different generations. Robert (Bob) has been playing accordian for over 50 years.

Jerry who plays tenor saxophone and lead guitar has been playing since he was ten years old. Bobby is 14 and has been playing drums since he was ten years old.

Alice Sulak comes from a musical family and began playing at the age of 10. She plays tenor sax and does many of the vocals.

H. D. (Dewey) Wofford, Jr., plays

bass guitar and does vocals. James Mudd, who came to Texas from Kentucky, is the country western vocalist for the group.

Many of the musicians have been playing together since 1967 but the present Melody 5 orchestra came into being in 1971.

The program will be held at Temple Wildcat Football Stadium and will begin at 7:30 p.m. General admission tickets are $3.00 and will be available at the all day RVOS Reception and SPJST Reception, as well as at the Stadium Ticket offices in the evening.

The pre-show will be followed by a performance of the 90-minute pageant, "This Time . . . This Land" which tells much about the 100 year history of Temple.

This seventy-five minute preshow is entitled "Czech Temple" and will describe the involvement of the Czechs in the musical life of Temple and the World.

It will also include glimpses into the Czech mentality and resulting influence on the social and economic life of this area. The story will be told against a background of music, dancing, song, and colorful costumes.

A special jamboree segment of the program will feature the famous Vrazel brothers, Anton and Alfred, playing in an accordian trio with Bob Haisler of the Melody 5 orchestra.

They will be accompanied by Thomas Strmiska on drums and Mike Marek on the bass horn.

The program will also feature singing by the SPJST Lodge 47 Czech Choral Club of Seaton. Choral singing always has been popular with Czechs including those who came to the Central Texas area a hundred years ago.

The choral club is under the leadership of Annie Jakubec and is well-known throughout Texas for its choral renditions of Czech folk songs. They will C - ombine their

Wednesday, June 24, 1981 — VESTNfli/11

singing talents in a chorus which will perform with the Melody 5 orchestra.

The Seaton I3eseda Dancers will perform such special "fun dances" as Snowball, Trojak, and the SevenStep Polka. These dancers are under the direction of Leon and Vallie Zavodny and are well-known to Texas audiences. They have performed at many Temple Area functions and Czech festivals throughout the state. They carry on a dancing tradition which was brought to Central Texas nearly a century ago.

The Czechoslovakian Folk Dancers of West (Texas) will perform a segment of the program entitled, "Czech Folk Dances Rediscovered". Among these dances are "Vitr", and "Horehronsky Cardas" Although these are very old Czech folk dances, they only recently have returned to popularity in Texas following the visits of dance instructors, Fred Kala of Chicago and Frantisek Bonus of Czechoslovakia.

The dancers from West are under the direction of Maggie Grmela and they have performed at all major festivals in Texas.

"Promenade of Czech Costumes" will feature the colorful Czech costumes known as "Kroje".

Although the costumes are now rarely seen in Czechoslovakia, they are very popular here and can be seen at most Czech festive occasions in the USA. Maxine Sefcik of West will model her highly embroidered ayjovsky Kroj'. Also participating will be many others in both the imported provincial costumes as well as the simpler, yet very colorful, "AllAmerican Kroj".

All people who have colorful Czech costumes are encouraged to wear them to the Czech Heritage Day activities.
