Holland Lodge To Host District II Fall Meeting

Mr. and Mrs. John Coufal, Jr.

SPJST Couple Celebrates 50th Wedding Anniversary John and Vlasta Coufal have never had to worry about forgetting their wedding anniversary: The whole seems to remember.

They were married June 29, 1931, the day of Temple's 50th birthday.

Now the couple is celebrating their 50th anniversary, and Temple is celebrating its 100th birthday.

That the town's celebration and the couple's marriage fell on the same day was deliberate. "I just thought at the time how nice it would be to always celebrate our anniversary along with Temple," said Mrs. Coufal.

Mr. and Mrs. John Coufal, Jr. were honored on their 50th wedding anniversary 2-5 p.m. Sunday June 28th, 1981 at the Temple Brethren Church, 808 East Central.

Hosts for the reception were their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Bill R. (Carolyn) Haynes of Irving, their son and daughter-inlaw, Mr. and Mrs. Stan W. Coufal of Arlington; also their grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs. Don (Michelle Haynes) Waddle and Randall Haynes of Irving, Debra, Cathy and J. R. Coufal of Arlington.

The couple were married June 29th, 1931 (Temple's 50th anniversary) at the Hus Memorial in Temple by the Rev. Joseph Hegar.

Coufal, one of the oldest practicing barbers in Temple, is semi-retired, and works only a few

days a week. He received his barber's training at the Moler Barber College in San Antonio in 1925. After graduating from college his first job was with the U.S. Army's 12th Field Artillery at Ft. Sam Houston (cutting the hair of Army recruited soldiers.) Later he barbered in Rogers. In January of 1926 he opened the East Side Barber Shop at 1203 East Ave. C in Temple, and, for the past 55 years, has been barbering in the same location. For 45 of the 55 years he also served men patients with barber needs (mostly shaves) in King's Daughters Hospital.

"I never used to lock the front door of my shop," he said with a shake of his head. "People would wander in and out and I could leave it open all day Sunday. Can't do that anymore. And I used to always walk home from my shop, but I don't feel safe doing that anymore either."

He and his wife recalled days of walking downtown Temple to shop.

"It grieves me sometimes to think about the old days when downtown Temple would come alive on Saturdays," Mrs. Coufal said.

"Women would have a ball gathering downtown to shop and talk. I've known Temple since I was big enough to go to town," she said.

The couple recollected trips with their parents in buggies to town.

Both of them grew up on farms and recall parking their mules at Jack Nichol's Mule Yard during trips to town.

"As children we used to love to park the buggies and watch goldfish (Continued on Page 12)

Dear Members and Friends: Greetings to all of you members from Lodge No. 80!

Our July meeting was held Monday evening, July 6. The meeting was called to order by President D. I. Bohac at 8 p.m.

The Pledge to the Flag was recited by all members present.

Roll call of officers showed the Vice President Bertrand absent and also Recording Secretary A. Martinets.

The minutes of the June meeting were read by Treasurer Glen Latham due to the absence of Brother Martinets. The minutes were accepted as read.

We had one new member to join our ranks at Lodge No. 80 in the name of Adrea Lucille Reumke, welcome to our midst!

Brother Otto Horelica gave a brief report of the trip that he and his wife made through the states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Colorado. They reported that the crops in those parts were not very good.

We did not have much business to discuss regarding our lodge activities at the meeting. We only had two dances at the hall in June.

Saturday, June 21, we did not have a dance due to the street dance at Holland when they had their corn festival; and one Saturday, we had to cancel a dance due to the flood we had during that afternoon.

We had the Kunz-Barabas Reunion at the American Legion Hall in Bellville, Sunday, June 28.

We had a good turnout. It was nice to see a lot of kinfolks from all parts of Texas. We used to have those reunions separately (the Barabas and Kunz), so this year we combined them and it makes it real nice that way. Our mother's maiden name was Kunz.

Well, in another week or so, the farmers, in this area, will begin to harvest (weather permitting) one of the best milo crops that I have seen grown here. The cotton crop is just in the making stage, so it's hard to estimate what it will make. The grass and cattle are in fine shape.

Oh, yes, we will host the fall District II meeting here at Lodge No. 80, Sunday, August 9; so all you SPJST members make plans to (Continued on Page 12)

Anita Bedrich

Recipient of Several Honors Anita Bedrich, a member of SPJST Lodge No. 47 and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frankie Bedrich of Temple, was a recipient of Outstanding Rogers 4-H four-year scholarship.

A Bell County 4-H member, she was also named to receive a fouryear $6,000 scholarship from the Houston Livestock Show/Rodeo recently.

Anita has been active in 4-H for the past nine years. She was named Bell County Gold Star girl and was chosen Outstanding Youth by the Temple Chamber of Commerce.

She was the Valedictorian of her graduating class at Rogers High School and served as advisor for the Future Fartners of America; also served as vice president of the Future Homemakers of America and served as senior class secretary and yearbook editor.

In addition to her other scholarships, she also received a $500 scholarship from the Stiles Foundation. The renewable $500 scholarship will be used by the winner for agriculture-related studies at a university or college in the state.

Anita plans to major in Animal Science at Texas A&M University.

PLEASE NOTICE SL Secretary-Treasurer L.M. Mikeska has just notified our office that the Supreme Lodge Zip Code has been changed to: 76503; please mail accordingly.

cEditor COMMENTS

This week your editor writes an editorial which he would rather not publish, however, it seems that maybe the air should be cleared.

Friday, July 10th, we composed the July 15th issue of our Vestnik and included everything in the issue with the exception of some Expressions of Sympathy. We had NO reports of the results of our District Youth Counselors (DYCs) of some of the District YADs (with the exception of District IV that had its results in the Vestnik) from anyone and that included the pictures taken at the YADs. When the editor stopped by the Supreme Lodge, after the composition of the Vestnik was finished, he received the following information from SL President Morris' secretary, which she said he quoted to her: "I had gotten complaints from some youth leaders as to why their results of their YAD in their districts were not in the Vestnik this last week and that they were unhappy that this information was left out and so much space devoted to Sokols, but I told those who called that Rudy probably had not received the results from the DYC involved and that if he also had pictures he didn't want to put them in without the information as to the results. I also told them he would probably have one in this coming issue. I also told them I had no control over what goes in the Vestnik."

The above statement is true and your editor has no apology for what publicity he did for the Sokols and/ or the Temple Centennial which made Friday, June 26th an outstandng event on the Czech Heritage Day on that date, however, your editor had no information on the YADs at that time.

Let us face one fact: nearly all Sokols in Texas are ALSO SPJST Members and this was the first time in our area in 60 years to hold a National Sokol Slet!

Your editor also printed articles about the Cyril-Methodius Heritage Day in Houston, and there were no complaints raised about this and, yet, it is certainly NOT an SPJST affair!

The editor'will publish any and all information which will tend to enhance our Czech-Moravian-Slovak heritage here in this United States of America of ours because WE ARE PROUD OF IT AND DO NOT HAVE TO BE ASHAMED OF IT! **

Pertaining to our YADs: A number of my pictures from the District III YAD, held at Lodge No. 66, Waco have been lost in the mail and I have only three: The two Beseda groups and the "Youth Leader, Teen and Junior of the Year"; the rest have been lost and two of the three I did receive have been made inferior by someone flashing their camera almost at the same instant as mine and thus made a double-imaged exposure. If anyone has the pictures of •the royalty, individual and group

talent winners and all craft winners in first places, please send them to me. As of this date we have not received reports from District I and III DYCs. In this issue are pictures of District I YAD and District V DYC report; next week we will have District II DYCs report; we are waiting for pictures. We hope this answers the questions of our youth leaders. If we do not have it we cannot print id Two nice cards received: one from Br. Hugo and Sis. Viola Kocian from Venezuela and another from Lois (Sprott) Rosebrock of Three Rivers who says "Hi" to all she knows in Caldwell, Deanville, etc. Thanks.

July is a time for summer sun and relaxation — but it's also a time to be extra careful, because July is the worst month of the year for acciden tal deaths, including auto accident fatalities.

August ranks second to July in number of accidental death and auto accident fatalities.

Half of American workers in commerce and industry plus some 3 in 4 state and local government civilian personnel are enrolled in private or governmental retirement plans in addition to their Social Security coverage.

About 9 in 10 adult Americans have Social Security coverage, including some 7 in 10 state and local government employees. A majority of Federal employees also have earned Social Security credits through prior or subsequent private employment. *

The Fourth of July was first observed as Independence Day in Philadelphia in 1777. Eighteen years earlier, the first American life insurance company, now called the Presbyterian Ministers' Fund, was established in Philadelphia. ***

Charitable contributions by more than 200 of the nation's life and health insurance companies reached a record $51.1 million in 1979, according to the 1980 "Social Report of the Life and Health Insurance Business."

More than $15 million was donated to help support colleges, secondary schools and other educational institutions.

Other leading recipients of these life and health companies' financial gifts were the United Fund and other federated drives ($12.7 million), urban and civic programs and organizations ($8.2 million), hospitals and health-related research and agencies ($6.6 million), and museums, libraries and cultural programs ($5.4 million).

The "Social Report of the Life and Health Insurance Business" is issued annually by the Clearinghouse on Corporate Social Responsibility, which is sponsored jointly by the American Council of Life Insurance and the Health Insurance Association of America.

Our Saturday night dance, July 11th, with music by the well-liked Knights of Dixie entertained a nice attendance with ballroom music and mixed tunes; not overcrowded but comfortable to dance. The ladies all dressed according to the Chandelier Ballroom code and everyone had a wonderful time. At this dance three members celebrated their birthdays and friends surrounding three tables sang a "Happy Birthday" to: Adelle Kite, Frank Glumb and Ruth Watkins. The delicious and decorated cake was baked by Bessie Vasula.

The Hosting Committee for this dance graciously greeted the guests and seated them at their reserved tables. In charge of the night were: Sister Willie Mendosa and her smiling husband, Alex. Bob and Margaret Allbritton; both help quite often and Margaret also holds the office of Lodge No. 88 treasurer. All four are very active in lodge work.

Friday, July 10, 1981 I read an article concerning the finding of the sunken luxury liner "Titanic" in the choppy steel-gray waters of the North Atlantic by Texas millionaire Jack Grimm, adventurer from Abilene, Texas, but what is so interesting about this is that I received a letter from Georgia (Kasper) Lee, daughter of the late John K. Kasper, who was a very devoted supporter of Sokol and an ardent leader in the early days. His grandson, John Thomas Burris, son of Eliska and Fred Burris of Texas City, Texas is aboard, the "Gyre" ship that is going to try to raise the sunken "Titanic" next year. Now, they will gather scientific and military information, also to see if they can make it down to the purser's office where all valuables were kept. Mr. John Kasper's grandson, John Thomas Burris, is with the Navy and, someday, after completing his studies, he is contemplating on becoming a commercial diver. Personally, I knew John Kasper very well in the Sokol movement; my late husband, Frank and my two brothers, John and Frank Dvorak, John Chladek, Frank Rachac and Jerry Vodehnal, with his leadership, won many first places in Sokol competitions. Sorry to say, that four of these athletes are not with us any more: Frank Olexa, John Dvorak, John Chladek and Jerry Vodehnal. Brother Joe Kasper, brother of John Kasper, through his living years, was very active in Lodge No. 88 serving as Hlahol Dramatic Club director of dozens of Czech plays on our stage and in surrounding towns. He also served on the Entertainment Committee for many years and was always involved in lodge work; we miss our faithful members who had so much interest for the betterment of the lodge and didn't mind the time or money. Just as John Kasper was involved in the Sokol movement, so was his brother, Joe Kasper, interested in the SPJST. May they all rest in peace.

An extensive vacation of 24 days was enjoyed by two of our sisters, Lillie Spies and her sister, Emilie Krischke. They left Houston, June 6 to tour the Pacific Northwest on the bus: first, Big Spring through the Panhandle and upper northwest

corner of New Mexico and on to Walsburg, Colorado. They also viewed and crossed the Royal Gorge which is over 1,000 feet deep and is spanned by the world's highest suspension bridge, the Rocky Mountains and on to the State of Utah; then, visited the Capitol, the tall office building of the Mormons, Salt Lake City (with wide streets and clean parks to enjoy), the great Salt Lake country and the Salt Flats and, in Nevada, the magic place Lake Tahoe playing the one-armed bandits without luck, but fun. They also went to Sacramento, San Francisco, (the Golden Gate City), and spent three ni ghts enjoying all the beautiful sights, then on to Eureka, Portland, Oregon; on to Seattle, Washington built on hills between Lake Washington and Puget Sound, (the snowcapped peaks of Mt. Rainier were beautiful); next day by ferry to Victoria, British Columbia to visit the exotic Butchard Gardens and again by ferry to the Strait of Georgia. In Vancouver they spent two nights, visited Chinatown, the suspension bridge 230 feet above the water and many other interesting places; in British Columbia, the Glacier National Park, the Yoho National Park and Banff National Park, the peaceful Lake Louise, the ice fields and took a ride on the snowmobile and almost froze in 36 degrees; next, the Great Falls, Montana and Yellowstone National Park, (with a guide they watched "Old Faithful" geyser spurting scalding water high into the air); in Wyoming; in Colorado visited the Air Force Academy between Denver and Colorado Springs and on to Dodge City, lunched in Oklahoma City and on to Denton, Texas to spend the last night of the 24th day; arrived in Houston, June 29 and they were glad to be home.

A Caribbean Cruise was enjoyed (for eight days) by George and Mary Butschek, Gus and Ann Urbanovsky and George and Lill Darn, all from Houston. Robin and David Darn of Kansas City joined them. June 20th, they boarded a plane at the International Airport and landed at San Juan, Puerto Rico. There they boarded the ship "Sunward Countess" and sailed to Venezuela, to Caracas, Grenada, Barbados, Martinique, St. Thomas and San Juan Islands, Constantly on the go, they also tried their luck in Caracas and in the ship's casino and very little time was spent in sleeping (at the most about 3 or 4 hours); they intended to do that at home. The food served five times a day was delicious and beautifully served; they all have plans to do it again.

Henry and Doris Knapick entertained house guests over the weekend; cousins of Joe and Henry Knapick of Oklahoma, Mr. Charles and Mrs. Norma Knapick, visited four days getting acquainted with new friends and enjoyed the social hour in the lodge's Blue Room. It was nice to have you, come againt Dear Brother Joseph Fusig passed into the unknown and our hearts mourn; he will be missed by everyone. Joe, as everyone called him, had a smile and good word to everyone he met. After several weeks in and out of the hospital, he entered into rest Wednesday, July 8, 1981, at the age of 78 years.

Brother Joe served the lodge faithfully in many ways and understood his lodge brothers and sisters. He

Fun At Fort Worth Greetings!

My husband, Louis, our son, Michael (6 months), our daughter, Christina (3 years), Louis' sister Barbara, and I, attended the XV National Slet and Gymnastics Championships in Fort Worth, Texas from June 24 to 28. Our vacation days could not have been spent any better than with our brothers and sisters from all over the United States and countries abroad.

The official Slet Opening was at the Tarrant County Convention Center, Wednesday, June 24 at 7:30 p.m. We were very happy Nancy Sijansky was chosen to lead the parade of Flags with the United States flag. She also led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.

We were welcomed by Brother Larry Laznovsky and Sister Sylvia Laznovsky. Greetings were extended to all from Brother Paul Lebloch and Sister Marie Ptacek, too.

The special number competition began shortly after the opening ceremonies. Congratulations to all who performed. The entries were from the Northeastern, Southern, Central, Eastern, and Western Districts. A total of eleven entries were presented. Sokol Fort Worth, Southern District, won with their performance entitled "Pops Hoedown." Author Mary Jean Stoeppleman deserves much congratulations for this great presentation.

A special number, not in competition, from Sokol Greater Cleveland Czech Folk Dancers was greatly enjoyed. Their performance, "Furiant and Polka" from Bedrich Smetana's Opera, "Bartered Bride" was instructed by Dolly Baca. To all involved I say Bravo, Bravo!

After the retiring of colors we retired ourselves to the Hyatt Regency to rest for the next day.

Thursday, was a day full of excitement. This day had finally come for our gymnasts, Michelle Keim, Kenneth Scott and Louis Kubala. I was unable to see Michelle compete because her division began at 7:30 a.m. Our son was just about to eat breakfast at this time. Kenneth did not begin his competition until later in the afternoon. I could not decide who was more nervous; Kenneth or his father. Ken's division began an hour later than expected, so when Louis' division began, it, too, was later than scheduled; as cocktail hour began at 6:30 p.m. in the Hyatt, competition was still in progress.

The banquet dinner was to begin at 7:30 p.m. I understand many who ran from the competition to the banquet almost attempted Superman's stunt of changing in mid-air. For those of us who were unable to afford the $27.50 per person banquet dinner, our attire would be suited to the country/western dance at Sokol Fort Worth for $3 per person.

Louis and I were thrilled to attend the country/western dance with George. George is an extraordinary individual. He competed in Men's Masters' Division. George is originally from Czechoslovakia. He now resides in Switzerland. Three weeks prior to this Slet was the first he heard of it. In these weeks he learned his routines. As a matter of fact, the day of competition is when he actually learned the Prostna. In his division he placed 7th. George invited us to Switzerland from

where we will drive with him to Vienna, Austria for the 1982 Slet.

George mentioned to us that he knew of a KUBALA family in Vienna. How wonderful it would be to meet distant relatives!

The country/western dance was a first for so many of our brothers and sisters. Even if they did not know the "two-step," they did know how to have a great time. I had never heard the "Bunny Hop" requested so often in one dance. I honestly feel the "Bunny Hop" should be proclaimed the international dance of the World. Everyone knew it!

I understand the banquet dinner which included a dinner, program and dance was well worth $27.50.

What a day!

Friday was when Nancy Sijansky, Donna Weirlich and Cindy Tepera competed in their divisions. Finally, the waiting had ended for all our gymnasts representing Sokol Corpus Christi. We had only to hold our breath until 8 p.m. for the results at the Victory Dance. To unwind before the dance, many headed to swimming pools, shopping malls, and touring Six Flags Over Texas. Frankly, the sensible ones like myself rested for the dance.

The Victory Dance at Hyatt Regency was more than anyone could expect. The atmosphere was so electrifying we could have lit up all of Texas! A gentleman representing the Air Force Academy was also present. He brought, with him, a Falcon. What a picture they made on stage amongst the beautiful trophies and fabulous setting.

Because the volleyball competition went into extra time, the awards presentation was delayed. Finally, the trophies were being distributed.

The Southern District was doing well, but the highlight for us was when Donna Weirich placed second.

As soon as all the trophies were distributed we raced to congratulate her.

Before we went to the Victory Dance, we joined the Sijanskys in the Munsons' room for a piece of Gerilyn's birthday cake. Thank you, Gerilyn Sijansky, for sharing your delicious cake with us.

We went down to the dance which was already in full swing. The music for the dance was furnished by the Czech Harvesters. They were enjoyed by all. The different styles of polkas and waltzes were fun to watch. By the style of dancing we could tell where the couples were from. When the "Cotton-eyed Joe" was played for the fourth time that evening, I knew for certain the floor would collapse. Thank God we didn't! What a day to remember.

Saturday was the day for championship competition. The two Olympic Stars, Jim Hartung and Phil Cahoy, put on quite a performance. The other men and women in this division could well be on their way to the Olympics. Their professional attitude was impressive. This competition ended around 5 p.m.

The Slet program was at Farrington Field that same day. The Slet began at 7 p.m. From beginning to end it was great! All who participated in the Slet filled up the football field. Kenneth helped carry the Southern District banner. Michelle, Kenneth, Louis, Nancy, Donna, and Cindy were joined in the Slet by Gerilyn. The Slot program consisted“,' of Calisthenics, Czechoslovak Folk

8/VESTNIK — Wednesday, July 22, 1981

Dance, 440 Relay Race, Singing, Gymnastic Apparatus Exhibition, and "Symmetry," a special number

by Central District. Then the unexpected finale of fireworks began.

Because the sun was down and the moon up, this display of fireworks was well-enjoyed. Everyone clapped when a sign reading, "Vienna — '82" lit up. A wonderful , day for everyone.

Sunday was the Slet Farewell at Sokol Fort Worth with a Texas barbecue. The dinner was delicious.

Christina and I rode on the wagon ride. It was bumpy, but fun. The western attractions set up were cute. With good food in our stomachs and good thoughts in our head, we said farewell and headed back home.

A slide film and pictures of the Slet will be available to view in the near future at one of our regular meetings. Make plans to attend for you will not want to miss all the fun.

A special thank you to Mr. John Stasa for your kind words of my family and of me. We enjoy your articles as well. At least I know I have one fan, other than my family members.

As everyone was saying in Fort Worth ...

Nazdar Ya'll!

DISTRICT VII YAD at Floresville Lodge 107 on Sunday, July 26th; Camp - Aug. 47, Camp Val Verde.

From the District Youth Counselors DISTRICT II CAMP To All /Leaders, Chaperones and Campers Attending District II Camp: Camp will start Wednesday, July 29 for the Junior age group ages 6 through 12. This group of children and their chaperones are to arrive at camp between 10 a.m. and 10:30 Wednesday, July 29. This Junior group will go home Saturday before the noon meal at about 11 a.m.

The Teen group of children ages 12 through 16 will arrive at Camp Val Verde between 10 a.m. and 10:30 Saturday, August 1st and this Teen group is scheduled to go home Tuesday, August 4 at 11 a.m.

The activities for the Junior group will start at 2 p.m. Wednesday and will continue until Saturday

morning at which time camp will be over for this Junior group and the Teen group arrives. The Junior group has 86 entries and the 19 adult leaders and chaperones and 6 staff people will make it about 111 at meal time. In the Teen age group we have 78 entries and 7 adults and 6 staff for a total of 91 so they are divided much better this year.

The morning break which will include cookies and punch or gaterade will be furnished by the camp but the afternoon break is soda pop and the children must buy their own so they should have some money for drinks. There will also be some SPJST caps and T-shirts available if they wish to purchase these items.

If you have any questions ask your leader or feel free to call me at any time.

Items To Bring To Camp 1. Sheets. 2. Pillow (if you use one).

3. Light cover. 4. Swim suit and underclothes (Jr. group underclothes initialed if possible.) 5. Towels and wash cloth. 6. Toilet articles (soap and grooming needs). 7. Casual clothes. 8. Flashlight (optional).

9. Long pants, socks and shoes (a must if you plan to ride horses).

10. Hat or cap (for hiking and archery). 11. Change of clothes for each day and large grocery bag or garbage bag for dirty clothes.

12. Comfortable shoes (2 pair are desirable) because you will walk and play quite a bit. 13. Camera (if desired). 14. Suntan lotion or bug repellent (optional). 15. Tennis racquet (if you wish to play tennis), balls furnished by the district.

16. Stereo records (optional) or some favorite dance records.

17. Some money for extra soda pop (there will be morning refreshments served by the camp.)

Our schedule includes swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, crafts, some hiking, outdoor and indoorgames of many varieties.

Parties are planned for each night.

We will have flag ceremonies twice daily and there should be a patriotic song or a poem in addition to the pledge. Each club will have one of these ceremonies for each group so plan what you will do.

Table grace will also be given by the youth at each meal.

The shortest way to get to Camp Val Verde is to take Hwy. 36 West out of Temple, go about 6 miles, take Hwy. 317 to the right, toward Moody and go straight through Moody and to McGregor, go to the 2nd red light in McGregor and turn right; this will be Hwy. 84 heading east toward Waco, go about 8 miles to the Val Verde exit to the left, follow that road and when you come to a "T" turn right and then take the 2nd road to the left and that takes you into camp. Stop at the flag pole for further instructions.

It seems that I am running out of time this year trying to get this in the Vestnik so I hope you will come to camp and see what else was planned this last week.

The schedule planned for this year will be similar to last year for the junior category since we will have to divide them into five groups and plan to give them a little time to rest during noon. If it continues to be so hot we may have to slow down our activities.

We certainly hope all of you who sent in applications will be able to

Wednesday, July 22,1981 —

attend because we are having a place reserved for you in your group and your cabin and we have plans to have a great camp.

Let's all remember our fall district meeting and dance contests for the youth on August 9th at Lodge 80 in Holland. More on this next week. Hoping to see you at camp.

Otec zemteleho byl ze stejneho kraje co moje maminka a tai byl bratrancem jejim.

Musim sdelit, ze dne 7. eervna 14 lidi z Dallas a 5 z Ft. Worth si udelali pekny vSlet po lodi na razne ostrovy.

Napted jeli letadlem do Miami, Florida a odtud sedli na lod

"Carnival" a napted jeli do Samana, v Dominican Republice, pak odtud do San Juan, Porto Rico a naposled do Saint Thomas a U.S. Virginske Ostrovy. Ptitelkyne pi. Reamesovd me tekla, ze ate krasne utili a jidlo, obeerstveni a zabava na lodi byla pry vSbornd,. Vyletu se zileastnili tito: Mantele Phil Reamesovi, Clarence Eckertovi, Charlie Kocidnovi, Joe Mandovi, George Vaikovi, Frank Wanja a Bill Lattner, (vgchni z Dallas.) Z Ft.

Bylo teeeno, asi 50 tisk baliekir WAS mesic se tam poge. Toto budou prvni takove balieky poslane do Limon' od konce Druhe valky. Kandy takovy balieek bude obsahovat dosti mouky, cukru, sadla a prakoveho mleka na celS mesic, a tyto budou darovany stargm lidem, budoucim matkam a malSm &tem. Je to pry divne, ze vlada polska tadala americkou organizaci o pomoc ate se ptiznala, ze nemaji dosti potravin pro sviij lid. Mimo tohoto, Care organizace podepsala smlouvu dodati dva- ste osmdesat tun potravin a 50 tisic jinSch veci do 35 uprchlickych stanu v Somalii, kde se nachazi milion a pill uprchlikii kteti nemaji nieeho nic a zemreli by hladem kdyby jim Care nepomohla.

Nedavno skoro 10 tisk ptistehovalcil se stalo obeany teto nag zeme kdyt stichni tito Tide ptijali slib vernosti Americe v Los Angeles, Calif. Ptistehovalci z 73 zemich se se§li v Coliseum tam a jednotne ptisahali a obdrieli listiny obeanstvi.

Take jsem se dovedela, ze p. Frank Steiner st. byl prevezen minulS tSden do nemocnice na Scyene Rd. (myslim ze se jmenuje Town East Osteopathic). Jeho pfdtele mu pteji tilevu v jeho nemoci a brzky navrat zas do Opatrovny kde bydli jit dosti dlouho. Pan Steiner jest elenem tadu 84 zde.

Myslel ze je mrtvd, ale jak slunko zaealo ji svitit do oei, tak plakala. Tedy on a je'Ste jinS elovek vzali dite do nemocnice naproti a tam lekati shledali, ze dite jest jen asi 2 hodiny stare. Je to zahada kdo tam dite dal a proe?

Lekce Jedenadvacits1 - Lesson 21 Ja jsem nemel vidy tu radost chytit The Seven Cases - Sedm Oda jette v zivote rybu jen od 2 do esti What is a case? liber nebo toho yelikeho nezbedneho A case is the form which shows, the garka 82 liber v motskem zalivu pti function of a noun, adjective, or

Ue me Se (esky

pronoun, in the sentence, and its relation to other words in the sentence. There are seven such cases in the Czech language.

1. NOMINATIVE, or subject case: prvni pad -- answers the questions: KDO - who? (is the doer of, or subjected to, some action?); CO what? (lifeless object or event is something said about?)

Ex: KDO tam chodi? Karel tam jde.

Here Karel is in the nom. case. Co se tam deje? Schiize se tam 'cond. Here schfize is in the nom. case.

GENITIVE Case - druhY pad, has a function similar to the English possessive case, (my friend's house, or the house of my friend). The genitive has acquired a wide range of meaning besides the basic sense of BELONGING. It answers the questions: Ceho? of what?, Cf? whose?

Ex.: Z eeho je to vyrabene Ze ieleza a z litiny. je to pueilc? Je to puefk rneho otce. (Otce, here is in the gen. case).

3. DATIVE Case - dal pad, is primarily a case of direction marking end or result towards which an act proceeds. It is therefore used after the verbs GIVING, SENDING, SAYING, or WRITING something to someone. It answers the questions KOMU?, to whom?, and . EMU?, to what?

Ex: Komu pik g? Pik dornu tatinkovi. (Tatikovi here is in the dative case). Cemu posloucha Posloucham vysilaci stanici. (Stanici is in the dative case).

4. ACCUSATIVE, Or Direct object case - etvrtS7 pad; marks the receiver of the action or the thing acted upon by the subject. It answers the questions: KOHO? whom?, and CO what?

Ex.: Koho's tam videl? Vidal jsem tam meho pFltele. (ptftele is in the ace. case).

Co tam vidg? Vidim moji matku. (matku is in the act. case) 5. VOCATIVE Case - pay pad is used for addressing or calling to a person or a thing.

Ex.: Bratte Novaku!

Otee mirj!

Matko ma!

6. LOCATIVE, or prepositional -$esty pad; is always used with prepositions. It cannot stand alone. It expresses position in time or space. It answers the questions KDE? where?

0 kom? About whom? 0 dem? About what?

Ex.: Kde je Marie? Sedi na schodech. (na schodech is in the loc. case) 0 kom mluvig? Mluvim o tetiece. (0 tetiece is in the loc. case) 0 eem se jednalo? Jednalo se o ruznych bodech. (o rfanych bodech is in the loc. case) 7. INSTRUMENTAL - sedmY pad - expresses the means, way, manner, instrument, or casual condition. It answers the questions (s) kym? with whom?, (s) elm? with what?

Ex.: Cfm jel do Ameriky? Leal letadlem. (letadlem is in the instr. case). S kym jsi letkl? Letel jsem se sestrou Aneu. (se sestrou Aneu here defines the "manner" in which the flight was made).

Cim si psal? Pigu tuikou. eistim gaty kartatem. Jel jsem vlakem.

Pomgharne ptfkladem. Zemtel hladem. Stal se lekatem. Dim byl zniden bombou. Zde to vonf Jdete tuto cestou. Zvolili ho ptedsedou.

All of the above endings are in the instrumental case.

Assignment Construct a sentence in each of the 7 cases, answering the word functions in each case. Go back to the nominative case, and write sentences answering KDO, and CO?, etc., and then continue.

Translate the following proverbs: 1. Obecenstvo je easto a detinske: tleska chvilkovemu ohhostroji, a kaidodenniho velkolepeho vSchodu slunce si ani nevtimne.

2. Nejkrasnejti jitro nevratf dne ptedeMeho. Co upl3mulo, se nikdy vfc nevrati.
