Seaton Choral Group SPJST Lodge No. 47 Activities' Report

Just because the reporter's pen has been inert for some time does not mean that nothing has been ado with our club; quite the contrary!

Practices held were the regular ones, and too, those needed for Temple's Centennial Celebration Pageant. (That activity was submitted to the Vestnik by Linda Wilde to whom goes club appreciation.)

that concerned changing the name "Kosar" Street in the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, to Aileen Creighton Lane.

After World War I the Joseph A. Kosar family developed 80 acres of land they owned in the city limits two blocks and lots: one of the streets was named "Kosar" and Kosars had built a house there to make their home. Next to this street, on the north side, there was some land and Del Mar College bought it and built many needed class rooms, library and other buildings. It was located on two blocks between Ayers and Naples Streets. The college, for the enlargement, bought out the home owners on the south side and so, at the present time, the Kosar Street is in the middle of the Del Mar property consisting of 50 by 150 feet size lots.

When the seven city council members in the meeting held 22 July 1981 heard our protest and then postponed it for next 14 days, we were not satisfied; then, I felt anxious about it to see how it would be settled. At the uncertainty of the occasion I decided to go about it in a diplomatic way. (To fraternalist dear Frank C. Sacky, my special thanks for the transportation.)

July 30 I mailed a letter to the "Corpus Christi Caller", daily morning newspaper. At 11:45 a.m.

August 3, I received a telephone call from Mr. Tom Brooks, staffwriter for the "Caller;" he asked me if he could come to my home for more in(Continued on Page 11)

News From Lodge No. 88, Houston The Saturday dance with music by the Texas Nuggets, a western band, drew in country music-loving people and, especially, it was permissable to wear western attire.

The Hosting Committee included: Brother Herbert Huber (in charge of the dance) and his lovely wife, Gazela, at his side with friends, a very nice couple, Mr. Ernie and Mrs. Irene Lewis, to help them.

Regular monthly lodge meeting held Monday, August 10th with a very nice attendance at the meeting and the covered-dish dinner at 6:15 p.m. Everyone seemed to enjoy the informal get-together and socialized for one hour and 15 minutes before the meeting. The meat was delicious barbecue supplied by the lodge, and all the delicious side dishes brought by the attending members and it was a wonderful meal. Everyone enjoyed it very much and was pleased, and the show will go on next month before the meeting.

Sister Lillian Finn, our parliamentarian, was absent; she sent word that Harry, her husband, felt under the weather and was not able to venture out We hope nothing serious. Harry, take care!

Entertainment Chairman Homer Alexander gave his report and dwelled on the fact that regular dances are not attended to full capacity and urges the membership to these functions, and to come out to enjoy themselves.

Brother Kleb, pool manager, after 10 years as manager of the swimming pool, announced to leave this post but will stay on until a suitable replacement is found to replace him. Brother Kleb did a wonderful job. The swimming pool will close August 24th.

We are very proud to have the opportunity to resume Czech classes at Lodge No 88 again. Mr. William Souchek, Czech instructor at the University of Houston, volunteered to conduct these classes to all who

are interested to learn. To our amazement about 30 have already signed to attend and there will be more. These classes will begin Tuesday, September 15 at the Lodge No. 88 home, 1435 Beall. (Get ready!

More on this later.)

A very nice gesture was shown by the lodge members to vote on sponsoring two buses for the Czech Concert Orchestra and the Lodge No. 88 Choral Club to attend and participate in the festivity of Czech

Day in Dallas, Texas in October.

Both Directors Rudy Dybala and Tim Kostom are very pleased.

Sister Bessie Vasula, home for few days from Heights Hospital, went back today for more treatments. John, her husband, was at the meeting and we hope it won't be long before Bessie will be at his side as usual. Brother John Kadlecek also was confined in Heights Hospital for a brief checkup and now is at home. Sister Della Kadlecek, vice president of the Birthday Club, had eye surgery. They removed the cataract and replaced same with a cataract lens implant and it was very successful and she stayed in the hospital only three days, and is now at home and around; looks great! Brother Royal Warnasch was back in the meeting after missing the last one. (Glad to see him back and giving his report on repairing the roof.) Sister Mary Kosut, our ' sunshine lady, is doing a tremendous job of keeping records of all volunteer work donated by our lodge members. To ease her work, Brother Louis Hanus, District V director, designed forms to keep these records. This was never done before and it is amazing how much volunteer time is given each month.

Keep up the good work, Mary!

We are always happy to welcome guests at our meetings and this time we were happy to recognize William and Alice Souchek, Victor Gerlich (member of Lodge No 63, Sweet Home), Mary Anders, Ed Gerlich and Lorin Zimmerman.

To celebrate wedding anniversaries were: Emil and Emilie Bily, 41 years; Melvin and Elsie Post, 39 years (these two couples were generous to treat the members, after the meeting, with nice cool refreshments; thanks to both of them); Bill and Marceil Malak, 28; Alan and Ella Shrak, 8; and Arnold and Naomi Spencer, 4.

There were also numerous birthdays announced. Best wishes to all!

Josephine Pflughaupt, our financial secretary, is hopping around with a very sore and swollen ankle which she received on her vacation. She was fortunate because this could have turned out very serious. Her story goes: She got out of the car to open a gate and the clutch slipped from "neutral into drive" and knocked her down and the car rolled over her foot, it must have been a rightful experience. Of course, she smiles now and we are happy for you, Josephine; it will be a while before that bandage will come off.

A lovely wedding of two young people took place Friday, August 7, 1981 to join Jeffrey Michael Elzner and the lovely bride, Donna Lynn McLain, in Holy Matrimony for life; they took their vows in the Garden Oaks Baptist Church with several hundred guests to witness this union. The lovely bride, daughter of

Mr. and Mrs. Bill McLain, in her traditional white wedding gown and trailing long train, came down the aisle on her father's arm to meet the groom waiting at the altar.

Immediately after the ceremony, the reception was held in the church's recreation room. Their honeymoon car was lavishly decorated by understanding friends.

The handsome and tall groom, Jeffrey Michael Elzner, is the son of Wanda Kennedy and grandson of Joe and Ann Elzner. Best wishes go with the happy young couple.

District V President Tillie Helmcamp announced the District V meeting to be held at Lodge No 88, October 11th; more information later Fraternally, Frances Olexa SPJST -

Dallas Circle of Czech Women It has been two months since our Circle met, so this letter will contain two months news. We met August 6, a very hot day. Thank you, Sister M. Sebestik, for writing the letter in June for me while I was on vacation.

President A. Zvolanek called the meeting to order at 10:30 a.m. After the Pledge of Allegiance, a moment of silence was observed to the memory of Frank Kankrlik, husband of Sister J. Kankrlik, James Tardy, son-in-law of Sister A. Kopecky, and to Frank Steiner, husband and father of our departed Sisters, Mrs. Frank Steiner and Annie Steiner.

Parma for the expression of sympathy during a time of sorrow in the passing of her brother, Chester Skotak, also brother of George Skotak. Sister A. Bubak's nephew passed away last month. Sincere sympathy is expressed to each of the bereaved families. Sister B. Kalich is on a 3week vacation, so Sister A. Zvolanek took over her "sunshine" duties by sending several cards to the sick, bereaved, and others. Sister H. Vrla, Jr. took gifts to Sisters M. Kubacek and L. Drzewicki while they were hospitalized.

Sister M. Sykora, membership chairman, reported members who paid dues.

That will be your chance to stock up on kolaches. Would you believe my family ate the last ones we had frozen, only last week? They were very good, just like fresh ones.

On behalf of the Circle, I would like to say a hearty "thank you" to all the sisters who furnished pastry, worked in the kitchen, or helped in any way to help make the 4th of July picnic such a huge success. I heard, in a round-about way, that there will be another one next year, so don't miss it.

Donations to the Circle: Memorials, for Frank Kankrlik, by H. Vrla, Sr., Bob and Ann Zvolanek, Frank and Mary Sebestik, James and Liddie Pavelka, Helen and Arnold Vrla, Joe and Adell Vlk, Marie Fitz, and Mary Kubacak; for Frank Steiner, James and Liddie Pavelka and Mary Dusek; for James Tardy, James and Liddie Pavelka; for lunch, Alvin Elsik, Miro Jurcik, George Skotak, and Sister M.

This was greatly appreciated.

Congratulations to Sister R. Noska upon becoming a new grandmother of a baby girl, Amanda Marshall born July 24; also to Sister R. Urban upon becoming a greatgrandmother for the 7th, or maybe 8th time, of a baby boy. The proud parents are Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Svoboda.

Traveling news -- Sister B. Malik has returned from a month's tour in July which took her through Poland, Russia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia; sounds like a marvelous trip. Sister B. and Phil Reames and relatives returned from a nice visit with relatives in Seymour, Texas. Dale Elsik, son of Sister L. and Alvin Elsik, is spending a month in Munich, Germany, with his friend's parents who are stationed there. He and his friend are planning to visit other surrounding countries including Czechoslovakia. Sisters A. Zvolanek, M. Chervenka, H. Schindler, and their spouses, left last week on a bus to Lincoln, Nebraska to attend the Polka Festival; wish for them a safe trip back. Tom and I enjoyed our tour to Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia immensely. It was rather warm in Tahiti at times, cold in New Zealand and Australia, but felt good. We saw

Head of the Youth Department iimmumemmimmismommom, FROM THE HEAD OF THE YOUTH DEPARTMENT STATE YAD — SUNDAY, AUG. 23RD, 1981 To: All Concerned This year's State Youth Achievement Day (Talent, Arts and Crafts, and Beseda) promises to be another big day and milestone in the history of the Youth Department of the SPJST. If you are a contestant in anything, be sure that you register in time or are in line before registration time is over. We are allowing more time for registration this year, but your cooperation is necessary because the people in charge of registration must then move on to other jobs. (The schedule for this day follows this report.)

Please do not put your craft in the display area until after you register: The lobby for the display is rather spacious where you will be able to wait with your craft until you are able to register. If you have a large craft or several crafts to enter, get your relatives or friends to help you ahead of time. We will again have large signs designating the various craft areas.

Contestants in talent are asked to announce their own selections, but NOT names, lodges, or districts.

Remember that microphones will not hurt you so step right up so that you can be heard.

If possible, get your scrapbooks to your DYC or get them to the YAD during registration time.

We hope you and your club and your district are represented at this State YAD. Do not let them down. If you can't come, be sure to inform your DYC so that your alternate or second place winner may represent your district.

Breaks will be spaced according to number of participants in the contest.

Important reminder to all: Please read or re-read ALL rules concerning all competition. Refer to the current rule book (Revised June 1, 1981).

See you at Temple High School on August 23rd. It is situated on North 31st Street, which runs parallel to III 35.

NEW YOUTH DEPARTMENT COMPETITION RESULTS PROCEDURE

Effective immediately, the following procedure will be in effect at all YADs — District and the State YAD on August 23rd, and State Royalty on September 26th of this year. The purpose of spelling out this procedure is to prevent unfortunate incidents.

Basically, the problem has been with the announcement of a winner or winners, only to find out later that the announcement was made incorrectly or on the basis of faulty information.

7

All DYCs and members of the Supreme Lodge have been notified of this procedure. The decision on this matter was discussed and approved in the July 1981 Supreme Lodge meeting.

1) At District YADs, the first and most important step that is to be taken by the presiding DYC is when the tabulation results are brought forward to be announced that a recess be declared of however length necessary to double and triple-check the results to make sure that the results are correct and mainly that the announced winners are correct.

This can easily be accomplished by asking the tabulation overseer to step to one side with the DYC and very quietly going over the results and verifying them. After this has been done, and only then, are the winners announced.

2) It will be publicly announced that any challenges or questions about the results must be made within 30 minutes after the results are announced. If the results are questioned or challenged, the DYC and the tabulation overseer will retire quietly to an area (room) by themselves without showing the score sheets or the tabulation results to the person or persons challenging the announced winners. No one will be allowed in the room with these two individuals. After they have verified the results, they will then come out and tell the individual(s) that the results as announced are correct and will stand. If an error is discovered at this point, a complete explanation will be given to the challenging or questioning party and the DYC will then immediately go to the microphone and announce the discovery of the error and make a corrective announcement.

After 30 minutes, or after this second step, whichever comes first, both the tabulation and score sheets will be destroyed. It is emphasized that the challenging party is not entitled to see the score or tabulation sheets, but does have the right to question the accuracy of the announced winners. In other words, after the challenge has been made all figures will be rechecked to see that they are in conformity with the announcement just made, and if not, corrective steps will be taken then and there.

This should prevent the embarrassment and disappointment of having the award or crown taken away from the winner and giving it to another.

This is embarrassing and disappointing to say the least. Every attempt should be made to overcome the excitement, emotion, and pressure of the occasion to make sure that everything is in order. The audience will not object to this delay if they know what the delay is about.

(The above will be included in the guidelines and check list being prepared for the DYCs and other concerned individuals.)

Fraternally, Nick A. Morris President and Head of the Youth Dept.

8/VESTNIK — Wednesday, August 19, 1981 • .7•14,

'k,

The DYC was on horseback when this picture was taken and the group of campers canoeing came up the river bank to see the horses. (This group was canoeing, also Junior campers from District II.)

During Teen tamp the youngster, made coasters from leather discs and also made a fence and a flower with popsicle sticks and painted it Shown are some of the finished products.

Gloria Ebner (seated) and Carolyn Strmiska (standing) were in charge of crafts for Teen camp. Other two campers are Billy Pfeiffer and Susan Strmiska. (Camp photos submitted by DYC Frank Klinkovsky) The District II camp was very well-attended with 85 campers, 13 adults, and 7 staff persons fora total of 105 for the Junior camp; and 68 campers, 8 adults and 7 staff persons for a total of 83 for the Teen camp.

There was a larger group of children under 12 years of age with age 10 being the most popular. There were 28 boys and girls age 10 at the Junior camp and I would say that is a good age.

We did not have any serious injuries only a few scratches,' bruises plus bee and scorpion stings and some of the campers got too much sun or too much chlorine; we took good care of the minor problems and were very fortunate that there were no major injuries.

The camp was enjoyed by all and many were already talking about next year's camp.

The leaders and chaperones who, take time to go to camp and take care of these children are to be complimented for giving their time to go to camp. We could not do this without you. We could ute a few more but there are none available, especially for the Teen camp. There were several adults this year who stayed the full 6 days for both camp. Thanks a lot to all of the leaders and chaperones for helping at camp.

We also had an official umpire from Elgin to help us out with softball and umpire the games. He was Mr. John DePew Jr.; he was a big man and soon he had everyone calling him "Big John." The children all loved this man and we thank him for attending and helping at our camp. Thank you, Big John!

We had 6 visitors to stop by at our camp this year and they were: SL President Nick Morris, SL Vice President Bernie Gebala and District II Director Henry Vitek. We also had Brothers D. I. Bohac and Frank Pajestka Jr. from Holland, Texas, and Billy Havlik of Temple.

This year we had the privilege to see some SPJST slides for the Junior camp and a couple of 30minute movies for the Teens.

Pictured are chaperones in Groups No. I and II at the pool side. L to R: Linda Michka (seeing only her back), Elaine Machu, Tim Marx and Leona Stalmach (holding a towel), and behind her are both lifeguards.

District III Campers At Val Verde; July 25-28, 1981 There were about 20 youngsters in each group and they had to take turns to ride horseback. In this picture the group is waiting for the other campers to return from the trailride so they could go.

Overall it was a good camp. There are a few pictures of some of the activities in this issue. By the time this is printed the fall District II meeting will be over and so will most of the district activities. A District II skating party is being planned for October and will be publicized as soon as available.

The two state contests are still before us with the State YAD crafts and talents being held this Sunday, August 23rd, at 12:45 p.m. at the Temple High School and the King/Queen Royalty contest Saturday, September 26th at Taylor Lodge No. 29. I hope to see you there.

Thanks for attending camp!

We had the opportunity to tour the State offices and the Museum which is a treat by itself. This Museum has so many things put together in the most educational way that one could spend lots of time Our guide also showed us the tremendous library where several members looked up different facts.

Next President Morris met with us and arranged a trip to Temple Mall and the Temple Police Station.

This was also most educational and enjoyable. Thank you, President Morris and staff, for the most educational and enjoyable tour we have ever taken because you made it so.

We again boarded the train at 5:45 p.m. and arrived at Brenham at 7:45 p.m.

Seaton Choral (Continued from Page 1) Still clad in pioneer dress after the Rogers Parade, several choral members decided "on the spur of the moment" to attend the Czech Students and Teachers Conference being conducted at SPJST Lodge No 29, Taylor, that afternoon. Some had read of it in the Vestnik; and, when the atmosphere of informal academe gave way to singing during the social hour led by accordianist for the afternoon Robert Ermis, we needed no coaxing to join in (The Seaton Brass Band — formed to preserve brass band music — gave an hour's rendition of the gathering's favorite pieces — waltzes, marches and polkas. (It was not an afternoon lost.)

To display and utilize our CzechTexans pioneers float as much as possible, since much effort was put into it, we participated with it in the Cameron Folk Fete Parade, June 13.

A 1st place Blue Ribbon and $25 was awarded to our entry and, in the usual spirit which pervades the choral group, there was fun from early morning 'til late afternoon.

Though heavy rains preceded that day (we thought the Gulf of Mexico had been lifted from its bed and let down on us for two weeks), and clouds and showers threatened all around, we proceeded as if the sun shone. The unsettled weather perhaps added to our determination and "revelry" for imperfect conditions often stimulate one's imagination.

We are grateful to Mr. Simmons and Gene Michan for their kinds of favors.

Linda and Daniel Wilde have our thanks as well for much legwork before and afterward to ensure the delivery and safety of the float and antique props.

The colorful costumes caught newspaper cameramen's attention later, and pictured in the Temple Daily Telegram next day was our Vice-President Anne Krcha. The Waco Herald-Tribune featured Floyd (Studie) and Emily Stuteville, Annie Jakubec, Anne Krcha, Lillian Kosarek and Ruby L. Bolton enjoying other Fete entertainment.

Preparation for the (climatic) conclusion of Temple's centennial took the form of practices, kolace baking, singing, and, on Saturday morning, the reassembling'of our "theatre-onwheels" for the parade.

A stage it was, to be sure, for on it we enacted the life and times of longer ago than we personally remember, but given us to know by word-of-mouth from those close to us. The props — antique pieces from our homes and farms — costumery, and traditions we value, all set the theme and mood of our community's past. That era unfolded over and over as the "actors" (each with his own prop) went through the motions of a particular activity, the while singing songs loved then and now.

An inscribed plaque with information relevant to that happy occasion was awarded to the SCG. We gathered later to toast, to celebrate and end Siring activities.

Czechs oppose Del Mar bid to rename Kosar Street

By TOM BROOKS

Staff Writer It stretches for only two blocks, but for members of the Czechoslovakian community, Kosar Street is one of the few remaining namesakes of the cultural heritage to which they cling.

But Del Mar College officials want to rename the street, which traverses the east campus between Ayers and Naples, for one of their own — Aileen Creighton, the former English Department chairperson and assistant dean of the division of arts and sciences who retired last year.

12/VRSTIAK Wednesday, August 19, 1981 Tomorrow, at its regular afternoon session, the City Council will consider the college's request to rename the street Aileen Creighton Lane.

With all due respect for Mrs. Creighton, 90-year-old native Czechoslovakian John Stasa thinks the idea is absurd.

For Stasa, who has chronicled the history of the city's Bohemian forefathers in more than a dozen notebooks, it is a matter of preserving the memory of the man who was a pillar of the Czech community.

Joseph A. Kosar, a land developer who built the Southmoreland subdivision, which Del Mar has gradually overtaken, first came to Corpus Christi after the turn of the century, Stasa said. Kosar died here in 1970.

"He was the last Kosar. They had no children," Stasa said.

Born in 1884 in Glasco, Kan., Kosar later ventured south to the western fringes of Corpus Christi, where he bought a 100-acre tract of farmland from Stanley L. Kostoryz, the founder of the Bohemian Colony Land, Stasa said.

Kosar returned to the nation's heartland soon thereafter, where he married Rose Vancura in 1916, before bringing her and a large colony of his Czech neighbors back with him to South Texas "sometime in wartime," Stasa remembers.

"Everytime anyone (Bohemian) came to Corpus Christi, he was the first man to meet them," Stasa said.

"He took those people in on his farm and gave them a start," he said.

"We have some respect for him. He tried to do something for our people."

Del Mar officials say they have considered other possibilities to pay tribute to Mrs. Creighton, said Virginia Stone, the assistant to the president for academic affairs.

But school policy prevents naming a building in honor of a faculty member, she said, adding that changing Kosar Street seems appropriate since it passes in front of the English building.

"Board policy is to name buildings for themselves, presidents, vice presidents and donors," she said.

"We're just waiting to see what happens. We tried to think of everything we could," Mrs. Stone said

Del Mar acquiesces on Kosar St. Del leklar College officials yesterday withdrew their request to rename a two-block street though the east campus in honor of the college's former assistant dean of the arts and sciences division.

The college had requested Kosar Street be A changed to Aileen °Creighton Lane.

In a letter to the City Council Del Mar president Jean Richardson said Mrs. Creighton had asked the college to withdraw its request.

Members of the Czechoslovakian community had protested the change, saying the city needs to preserve the namesake of Joseph A. Kosar, a settler of the Bohemian Colony Land who came to the immigrant farm community west of the city in the early 1920s.

I have no idea how this affair would have ended up without this help from the local daily newspaper, the Corpus Christi Caller.

Posledne kdy jsem psala zpravy tak jsem zapomnela jeden list doma ktery jsem chtela poslat se svou zpravou do Vestmlcu. Tylcalo se to man:tell:1 Otto Hanutovych, kteti slavili minuly mesfc 60. vYroef mantelstvf a ja jim chtela blahoptat k tomu vzacnemu dni. Lituji toho, ale ttebaie je to pozde, piece gratuluji a pteji jette mnoho let pospolu. Take pf. Hanu:sove pteji aby jeji zdravf se zleptilo a aby zase brzy byla jako delve. Bud'te oba zdravi.

Mladf mantele Gary Pokladnfkovi obdrieli pekny darek—malou holeieku ze ktere majf radost a babieka Helena Pokladnilcova, a prababieka pf. Frances Balejova rovnet. Vsichni jsou elenove SPJST ta,du 84 zde. Gratulujeme cele rodine a prejeme vge dobre nadale.

Jeden elovek poblfie Dallas ktery jiz byl nekolilcrate trestan pro ruzne pteeiny, zasttelil svou mantellcu skrze to, ze ona od n'eho odetla a vzala si rozvod. Ona byla z lepti rodiny a myslela,ze z neho udela leptfho eloveka. Zatfm on ji easto natlouki a kdy to nechtela trpet talc odetla k ptatelritn.

On se dovedel kde je, a vtrhl do domu a zasttelil jf. Ona jako lekatIca mohla jette dlouho konat dobro pro lidi a zatim nynf je konec a on byl odsouzen k smrti za svrij ein — co tedy z toho nynf ma?

V sobotu 8. srpna inlaxly Walter Mantalc a sl. Melinda Kay Bielefeldtova byli oddani v Bethel luteranskem kostele a obtady provedl Rev. Paul Hoffman. Rodiee nevesty. jsou M F Bielefeldtovi a tenichovi rodiee jsou mantele Walter Marugakovi. Na svatebnf cestu jeli na Bermudu a pak budou bydlet v Garland, Tx. Marutalcovi zname a jejich synovi a snake prejeme mnoho ttestf a hodne zdravf.

Nedavno jsem eetla elanek ktery me ptinutil ptemytlet o tom, jak osud nekdy si s nekterym elovekem zahraje. Zprava batik' sdelila o jedne sl. Mary Larkinsove, ktera. pracovala 76 let pro jednu firmu Mercer Rubber Co. v Trenton, New Jersey a nyni ve veku 92 letech koneene jde na odpoeinek, a kdy jeji za.mestnavatel ukoneil praci u to same finny, tak jde take. Musela byt dosti zdrava cele roky. Ona mela dohled na tenske ktere vyrabely gumove vicka na slclenky k zavatovanf.

Nyni jeste treba bude mit aspoii nekolik let ktere bude moci unit v klidu a mit se dobte. Na druhe stra.ne kdyi elovek vezme ptipad sl. Annie Steinerove ktera skoro at do sve snuti byla zamestna.na u jiste firmy a jette drtiela titad u tadu 84, kt,era., vtak snutne skoneila, talc must se ptemyglet o tom. Kratce pied smrtf tetce onemocnela a za kratko odegla odkud se nikdo nevraci a neutila ani kapku ze sveho socialmlo pojiktenf a vge ukoneilo pro nf. A jette druha sl.

Ann Ptikrylova, ktera po vice jak po 30. letech u telefonni spoleenosti,

19. Ears 1981

na odpoeinek ale ho neutila nebot' za par mesfcri face tei onemocnela a za kratko odetla na veenost. Obe tyto teny mohly zde jette byt dosti dlouho a pozdeji utft trochu nem a piece jim toho osud nedoptal. Zda. se me, ze kruty osud opravdu zasahl do jejich tivota ptedeasne a je to velka tkoda.

Meld° ma ttestf a nekdo ne, ze ano?

Francie zaeala zasilat potraviny do Polska kde je velka nouze o jidlo. Pry 19 naldadnich vozri vezlo etyti tisice tun masa a 25 vozri .poveze sedm tisfc daltich tun masa. Mimo toho dalsi zasoby lcrup, tita, cukru, masla a jine zasoby za lacfne ceny. Toto jim opravdu pomilze nynf kdy je tak zapottebf vteho — a hlad je zly!

Take byl ukazovan svatebnf darek Icralovske dvojici v Anglii od nateho presidenta Reagana, totit krasnou misi z brouteneho skla, ktera ma pry cenu 75 tisfc. Snad to byla mylka a cena byla sedm tisfc pet set? Ale i to by bylo moc penez dat tem, kteti majf sami tolik vseho. Tolik lidf i zde v na:sf zemi by pottebovali penetitou pomoe, obzvlattk tem startfrn a nemocnym a to se penfze vyhazujf. Inu, elovek to nezmenf ale nenf to spravrie.

Letos zde v Texasu litady varovaly lidi aby byli opatrni kdyi se setkajf se zvftaty, nebot' bylo mnoho ptipadri vztekliny, a kdyi zvtr-e kousne nekoho talc musi se brat injekce a je to bolestna procedura. Ale nynf zas jinde v nagf zemi, jako tteba v, Kirkwood, Missouri vypukla jalcasi divna nakaza mezi zvi!aty v lesich a na venku skrze, kterou ueenci a lekati si nevedf rady. Nejvice radf mezi kuny (racoons) kteti dostanou talc stragny zachvat, ze nekdy si bolesti ukousnou easti tela a iltednici museli odpravit injekcemi vice jak 250 kun.

V jinYch statech pry tadf tato nemoc take a rozvetvila se velice.

Take na rani presidenta Reagana v Santa Barbara, Cal. ktery tam ma 688 alcril nagla se myt (ei potkan) ktery byl postiten otklivou nemoci "Bubonic Plague" nekolik dnf pied tfm nei president tam ptijel na nutny odpoeinek. Zdravotnf urady podali varovanf a snad se nemoc nerortef dale.

V eervenci v Kansas City, Missouri stala se stratna nehoda v Hyatt Regency hotelu pti ktere 111 lidi bylo zabito a 188 bylo poraneno. Tehdy byl tanec uvnitt a jisty telezny mustek nahote se zhroutil a vte spadlo na dole tanefel lide. Ut ma hotel ptes trillion dolara zasoby a celkem 46 talob bylo podano a jegte pry neni tomu konec. Obavarn se, k jim toto negtestf ptijde draho a obzvlatte nyni kdy katdy soudf druheho pro kaidou jen maliekost. Tato nehoda jest ovgem velmi bolestna pro toho, kdo ztratil Clena z rodiny anebo ktery byl tetce poranen. Jak tficam, elovek nikdy nevi kde Ade k rirazu a co Nike se stane, ze ano?

Potad jsou v novinach zpravy, ze brzy budem muset dat 20 centovou znamlcu na dopisy, te pry pate se nedostava penez. Kdy to bude ovtem nevfme, ale asi to ptijde.

Marina Porterova, vdova po zesnulem Oswaldovi, ktery zavraidil presidenta, Kennedyho pied 18 lety, podala tadost u soudu aby rakev

jejfho bgvaleho mantela ve Ft. Worth mohla byt otevtena aby se zjistilo, zda pozristatky jsou jeho anebo toho ruskeho gpehouna jak nekteti tvrdf.

Ale bratr Oswalda podal proti-talobu, aby hrob jeho nesmel byt otevten.

Talc ted' soudce bude muset rozhodnout, co se ma sta. Jisty Anglican pied kratkym easem tvrdil, ze v hrobe Oswalda je pohtben nekdo jiny — a ne Oswald. Mel rozepsanou knihu o tom a chtel se ptesvedeit, jestli ma pravdu. Tedy jak to dopadne tetko Ten bilionat Howard Hughes ktery zesnul peed 5 lety nenechal tadnou posledni vrili, ani rodiee, mantelku, deti anebo sourozenci a nynf soud, se ut tahne vice jak 5 let a myslfm, ze to bude trvat daltich 5 let aneb vice net se to rozhodne komu ma ptijft pozristalost. Hughes pry vydedil vgechny manielky a plibuzne, ale nynf potad se hlasf i hodne vzdalenf ptibuzni.

Inu, jak to fikajf, ie kdy nemate nic tak se o Vas WO nestara ale jakmile mate jen trochu nejake ty dolarky tak kaidy se ptihlasf o ne!

Minuly tyden zde v Dallas jeden startf eernoch za.sttelil sveho syna ktery jej chtel okrast o ten social security tek.

Mesfc pted tfm otce olcradl o cely tek a otec pak byl v nouzi a talc se ptichystal, a kdyi syn jej chtel zase olcrast, talc jej zastreli1.- Syn byl jeden z devitf dal ale byl opravdu nepodateny a nestal prg za nic — ostatnf byli spotadanf. A byl by pry otce pro ten gek take zasttelil. Jest to opravdu smutna ulc ai lka dnegka a kam to spejeme nevfm!

Minuly tyden v sobotu se konal sriatek sl. Teresa Jane Petterove s p.

Anthony Petersonem v kostele Neposkvrnene Srdce Panny Marie v Abbott, Tx. Bratranec nevesty Rev. Henry Vincent Petter je oddaval pti zvlattni msi. sv. Rodiee nevesty jsou mantele Victor Petterovi z Abbot a tenichovi jsou mantele Anton Petersonovf v Mesquite, Tx. Svedkove byli sl. Becky Heckmanove, a Tony Petter bratranec nevesty. Na svatebnf cestu jeli do San Antonio a bydlet budou v Dallas. Svatebni veeeti moll pelcnou a mnoho lidi pfiglo jim blahoptat. Snad se nemylim,ze nevesta jest vnuelcou to pf. Petterove kterou jsem poznala v Abbott, v 'eervnu na KJT oslave? Gratulujeme svateb'eanrim a prejeme v ge dobre.

Slytela jsem, ze p. Sid Poldadnfic se podrobil operaci nedavno a myslim, ie jeho ptatele mu pteji brzke uzdravenf a navrat domri. On jest elenem tadu 84 zde.

To bylo brzy po prvni valce sv'etove nekdy okolo roku 1930-1940; v sousedstvf byla postavend east budovy, ke ktere dle potteby byly budovane dardf Tfm se staloze kolej vykupovala majetky, ktere pottebovala od techto obyvatehl.

Umluveno bylo,ze ye dve hodiny se sejdeme na rohu Ayers a Kosar. Kdyi jsme tam ptijeli fotograf uz na nas Cekal.
