took time to participate through their presence and prayers.

I also want to say thank you for all the gifts I received both privately and through the offering taken at the ordination. Where I can, I am purchasing books and supplies to better equip me for the Lord's work.

Again, thank you to each and everyone and may God's blessings be abundant to all.

Dear Members and Friends: Our September 13 meeting was called to order by President Dennis Barabas.

Minutes from the last meeting were approved as read.

President Barabas thanked the Entertainment Committee and all who worked to make our 3rd anniversary dinner/dance the success that it was.

Treasurer Louis Grochoske and Financial Secretary Mydell Grochoske were absent; they were attending the ceremonies of Father Joseph Patrick Delaney to Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth. Louis was an honor guard and also attending was Leroy Hampton who was an usher.

Report was made on the August 22 work day. These members who worked were: Brothers Dennis Barabas, Mike Heji, Bill Russell, Bill Slavik, Tim Russell, Oscar Hoerig, Joe Hurtik and Leo Keating. Joyce Russell and Oleta Keating fixed lunch. Among other things they leveled the parking lot and the money Bill Russell received for the use of the bulldozers in the leveling, he donated to the Entertainment Committee Fund. A big thank you goes out to these men and ladies and, especially, to Bill Russell for the donation.

In the hospital this month was Brother Albert Sulak who is home now and able to sit up and enjoy a game of dominoes. We wish him and, anyone else on the sick list, a speedy recovery.

We wish to express our sincere sympathy to Sister Estelle Hurtik; her brother, Henry Sulak passed away in East Bernard.

There are some recommended changes in our Rules and Regulations which are very important to our lodge. These changes will be read again in the October 11 meeting and will be voted on. Your votes are very important; also there will be an appointment of a Nominat ing Committee for the upcoming election of officers in November.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a record attendance?

The ladies are asked to bring some more of their delicious pastries which they always do.

I hope to see you all October 11 at 2:30 p.m.

Fraternally, Frances Simmank

HIGHLIGHTS OF LODGE NO. 84 MEETING Dear Members: Our monthly meeting last Monday had a good attendance; maybe the social held after each meeting is finally catching on; remember, the drinks are half price and all that socializing is worth the drive not to mention the meeting. President Joe Ondrusek keeps the business going to accomplish what you came down to do. He starts promptly at 7:30 p.m. and last Monday was no different, except everyone left immediately; those Cowboys should find another time to play.

Second Vice President Ron Coker gave the entertainment report; as well as you know, it was a great success. Brother Ron thanked everyone for being so helpful and so generous with donations, participation and attendance.

President Ondrusek also thanked the many members who came and helped make this day the success it was.

Youth Leader Bessie Petr reported on YAD also on the winners (which were listed in the last Vestnik) from Lodge No. 84. We congratulate all!

Brother Adolph Salac reported on the House Committee and announced October 6 after 5 p.m. is a clean-up day. Will you come and help?

Special Committee Sister Linda Coker announced a bake sale November 21, by then your pecans will be plentiful and I bet the beautiful pastry you make for this occasion will be second-to-none.

Brother Ben Jarma gave his softball report and what a great time was had at the cookout at the Schultzs. Brother Ben reported the Czech Day at the fair will soon be here and many of our members will be participating (dancing, singing, orchestra) and he urged everyone to get ready and arrive early.

By the way, orchestra practice in October will be on the 15th as announced by its leader, Brother Sid Pokladnik.

Brother Emil Petr, who heads the hall rental, gave a report on new dates. It was decided the Halloween Dance will be a (2 for 1 ticket) a special at the door if you come in costume, start sewing fast, word is out that Sister Helen Durbin and Sister Ruth Chmelar have already bought material to sew for costumes for their husbands and get this: Sister Alfreda has already started the costumes that she and her husband, Brother Hank Sadecky will wear as they come; now these folks are really anxious.

The Entertainment Committee invites you to come and enjoy the dance October 3, "Vinobrani" at this

hail which is a tradition and if you haven't brought the whole family (children and grandparents) do so fnr this dance because oak leaves (gathered by Brother Emil Petr) are hung from the ceiling over the dance floor, fruit is then hidden among the leaves and you are supposed to be able to grab and get the fruit of your choice without the knowledge of the "policemen" stationed around the floor (you might want to practice, the hand is quicker than the eye stuff) prior to the dance, which starts at 8:30 p.m. and lasts until 12:30 a.m. with music by the Czech Harvesters.

October 17 the Mikula Band will play for your dancing pleasure.

Prepare to stay on the dance floor all evening enjoying this great music.

The Sunshine Committee sent the following cards in the last month: Sympathy cards to Brother Bill and John Gaiser on the death of their brother, Ernest Gaiser; also to the Frank Steiner family; to Sister Bessie Tardy on the death of her husband and to the Adolph Janecka family. Sympathy was also extended to Frankie Vrla family on the loss of his mother and Sister Evelyn Macik and family on the loss of her husband, Stanley.

Accident cards were sent to (injured at camp) Brother Joey Hudik, Brother Larry Petr and Brother Paul Manak. Sister Marie Kowal broke both arms in a fall from a ladder, and Sister Dottie Hagar (get this) fell out of bed and broke some ribs.

Get-well cards were sent to Bill Vita who had an operation, Sister Alberta Zastoupil who is in Baylor for treatments, Brother Elick Kozlovsky had an operation, Brother Ed Casper also had an operation, Brother Carl Ondrusek had dental surgery, Sister Annie Janousek had eye surgery, Brother Kevin Kraemer had an accident, Brother Jerome Rejcek who is in the hospital, Sister Mary Ann Skrabanek had an operation, Sister Anna Kopecky suffered a stroke, and Brother Randy Petr broke a jaw.

Congratulation cards (for a baby girl) went to Brother Jack and Sister Barbara Wolfe, parents; Brother Willie and Sister Carlyn Ondrusek, grandparents; Brother and Sister Gary Pokladnik, parents (also for a baby girl); Sonny and Helen Pokladnik, grandparents; and Sister Frances Baleja, great-grandmother.

New members to our lodge are: Don A. Jackson, Tyler Reese Jackson and Kelly Lyne Sims. Kelly is the daughter of Brother Gene and Sister Vicki Sims, and Brother Charlie and Sister Wanda Petr are her grandparents. (I thought rd mention this since I hadn't reported her arrival several weeks ago). She has been at most of the dances, but sleeps the night away. Brother Gene is bar assistant. The child's uncle is Brother Randy Petr, bar chairman; and Kelly's aunt is Sister Cherri Petr, our flagbearer; naturally, the baby was signed up by a great-uncle, Brother Emil Petr, one of Lodge No 84 sales representatives.

Our next meeting is October 19 at 7:30 p.m. That's after Czech Day at the fair, but we sure would like to see some more new faces at our meetings.

Fraternally, Rose Scott

LODGE NO. 172, PASADENA Dear Members and Friends: The September regular meeting was held as scheduled (September 9). By the time this gets into print our covered dish supper and free dance will be history. I am so glad that our good Brother Jan Mikeska covered this activity in the September 16 issue of the Vestnik.

We were so sorry to hear that Sister Rena Ordener has been hospitalized for several weeks and is recuperating at home. Best wishes to you Rena from Lodge No. 172. To all of you, who may be ill, we are wishing a quick recovery and good health.

We were reminded not to forget our District V meeting held October 11, 1981 at Lodge No. 88. A delicious roast beef dinner will be served from 1:30 p.m. on. The Czech Concert Orchestra and the Lodge No. 88 Choral Club will entertain during the noon hour until 1:30 p.m., meeting will start at 2 p.m., and a free dance from 5 to 9 p.m. There will be an attendance contest for the smaller lodges. The lodge with most members, $15; second most, $10; and third most, $5. At least five door prizes of $5 each who all will register before 2:15 p.m. will be eligible; this sounds like a great day of fellowihip. It has been planned for your entertainment and for your information, district meetings are informative. To plan and arrange for a district meeting is a lot of hard work for a few hard-working people.

They never let you down. Let's keep encouraging them by being there. It is kinda like the old saying, "You don't miss the water until the well goes dry." Let's keep it flowing.

Our September meeting was wellattended. It is encouraging to your local officers to see you at the lodge meetings. Our meetings are very much alive.

It was reported, by the Board of Trustees, that Sister Klechka has a working cash register again for the kitchen. It was fixed. The plumbing was fixed too but we have another plumbing problem. This is an old building and that's the way it goes.

Our new local Rules and Regulations Committee is ready to start studying the R&R's. The following three members were elected to serve on the Rules and Regulations Committee: Sister Amelia Tofte, Brother Monice Green and Brother J. C. Dressler. They will serve on the committee with the president, Brother Victor Peter and the chairman of the Board of Trustees, Brother Dan Berry. Thank you, members, for being willing to take this job.

Before the meeting is adjourned, we always draw a name for the door prize. Sister Muriel Simpson's name was drawn for the $200 cash door

prize; Sister Simpson was not present, so the door prize goes up to $225 for the next drawing at the next meeting, which will be held October 14, the regular meeting date. Sorry Muriel, that you couldn't be present when your name was drawn. Sister Simpson works until 9 p.m. every day, and couldn't be at the meeting.

Hope all of you had an enjoyable summer and are ready to settle down for another school year if you have children in school. I am a retired school teacher since May, 1981. I taught school for 40 years

CLUB OF FORT WORTH

FRIENDSHIP

Dear Members and Friends, The meeting was called to order September 3, 1981 with twenty-two members and several guests present.

Our, guests were Linda Boyer, a professional writer, and Tom Rose, an engineer, both with the Texas Electric Service Co.; Mary and Benny Pavey; Father Warren, pastor of St. Thomas; and Father Carl, the assistant pastor, also of St. Thomas Catholic Church.

Due to a program given by Mrs. Walter B. Barbour of TESCO, we did not have a regular meeting.

The program, given by Mrs. Barbour, was designed for energy conservation. One method recommended was to use the solar poles. Yes, these are the two clothes line poles that many of us still have in our back yards. How sweet and fresh the laundry smells after drying in the wind and sun, instead of in a hot electric dryer.

Small electric meters were used to learn how to calculate electric bills and pamphlets with various

conservation practices were available for each individual.

The presentation was informative, and we hope made most of us more energy conscious.

The September birthdays were as follows: Josephine Bugaj, Mary Ann Krivanek and guest, Mary Pavey.

It was voted to return to a hot covered dish luncheon for the ensuing months.

The hostesses for October 7th will be Mary Ann Krivanek and myself, Lydia Alholm.

One of our members, Flora Jane Ryder, and her husband, Jack, have moved back to California. Donald and Rose Steinman have returned from a trip to the East Coast. Roy and I could talk about our trip to Finland for days. It was delightful to meet, for the first time, so many of his relatives. It was interesting to experience evenings with no darkness, regardless of time.

The Czech Cultural Society extends an invitation to all of you to attend the Czech Day celebration on Sunday, October 18th at the State Fair in Dallas.

Call Brother Calvin at TJC now and enlist in this fine course today.

There being nothing else on our agenda, the meeting adjourned.

Singingly yours, Otto Hanus -SPJSTBYE GONE WASH DAYS! Here is a thought for the day: Before washing machines were invented — you got up early in the morning, drew water from a well, built a fire around the wash pot and heated water to scrub the clothes, in wash board style, then you sliced home made lye soap into thin slivers and put the scrubbed clothes in to boil. You had a long stick to keep them punched down in the water so that they would not have turned black from the smoke which always got in your eyes and scorched your face. While the white clothes, sheets mainly, were boiling you would scrub the other clothes, next the towels, dish towels, etc. — take up the sheets and put in the others until all were washed. Rinsing each batch through three waters which had to be drawn out of the well. You took each tub full and hung them to dry and if you were lucky the wind didn't change and start smoking the clothes. It would also wrap the clothes around the line so that it would take longer for them to dry, and make them much harder to get off the line. When you were through

•

you used the hot suds to mop the house and scrub porches (you always had a front and back porch) and sometimes a side porch. Then the clothes were brought in smelling of fresh air and sunshine. They were sorted , the rough drys to be folded and the others to be sprinkled for tomorrows ironing which was done with irons heated on the oil stove and held with padded cloths for the handles were iron, too, and no amount of padding would keep them from burning the hands that held them. You took your frustrations out on the rubboard and the ironing board and spent a lot of time in the fresh air and no one needed to take tranquilizers or go to body building Spas.

Fall and Winter is the Time to Prepare for Next Year's Lawn The fall is the best time of year to fertilize a lawn in the northern regions of the country. This will give your lawn a strong start in the spring as the nutrients will be stored over the winter. This information and other lawn-care tips are included in a new booklet, "Famous Lawns of America", available free from Wheel Horse Products, Inc. There are several types of fertilizer spreaders on the market including a drop type and broadcast spreader for dry fertilizer. Liquid fertilizer is applied by a hand-held or hose-attached sprayer.

Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium are the three most common elements in commercial fertilizers, and are indicated by three numbers on the label such as 21-7-14 or 24-4-8. The numbers indicate the ratio of nitrogen to phosphorous to potassium.

In the southern regions begin winter overseeding to prepare the

Liquid fertilizer

lawn for the cooler temperatures.

In the cooler regions where winter overseeding is not possible, this is the time to put equipment away for the winter or prepare it for snow removal use. If equipment will be stored, be sure to drain fuel from the tank.

"This is also the time to control the tiny white grubs that hatch from the eggs of adult beetles. Control is most effective while the grubs are feeding on the surface of the lawn.

Later (after the first cold spell) they will burrow deep the, ground and remain there over the winter," according to Lou Laroche, editor of the "Famous Lawns of America" booklet.

lawns famous in their own neighborhood," Laroche said. For a free copy, write Wheel Horse Products, Inc., P.O. Box 2649, South Bend, IN 46680.

Think Safely When Operating Power Lawn Equipment Outdoor power equipment, whether a walk-behind or riding lawn mowing unit, provides the consumer with great convenience, but according to Lou Laroche, editor of Wheel Horse Products' new "Famous Lawns of America" booklet, it is important to remember these safety precautions.

— Know your controls. Read the owner's manual.

— Never allow small children to operate or be in the area of power equipment.

— Keep all shields and safety devices in place.

— Use gasoline only as a fuel, never as a cleaner.

— Never add gasoline to a running or hot engine.

— Do not smoke near gasolinepowered equipment.

— Before mowing, check the lawn for stones, toys and other potential hazards.

Veera v nedeli 20 zati jsme jeli do Ennis abychom se zheastnili bazaru na sfni SPJST 25, ktery se potadal ye prospech kostela a §koly sv. Jana.

Pohoda byla pekna a brzy rano se zaeali sjcidet lide na tento vyroeni bazar a brzy byla sin pina a v 11 hodin zaeali podavat vyborny obed, ktery si kaidy velmi chvalil a ktery chutnal ka2clemu a opravdu byly kuchatky §tedre. My jsme vzali sebou tetieku pi. Rosie Zazvorkovou a to se vk velmi nil° take. Se§li jsme se s tolika lidmi a hodne ptibuznymi a bylo nam veselo. Take jsme poznali jednu krajanku az z Ontario, Canada pi.

Aneilcu Zouklkovou, ktera ptijela navalvit tri sve deti v Plano, Tx. Seznamila jsem se s jejf dcerou kvetnu na Polka festivalu a ona me nyni zvonila kam by mohla vzft maminku a ja jf pozvala na ten bazar do Ennis a moc se jim v§e ilbilo a tekla, ze zas brzy ptijede a pak navaivf i me. Dnes zase odjildi do Ontario kde bydli jiz 31 let. Rekia me, ze pochazf z Moravy, nekde blfzko Olomouce a zde v Texasu se jf libf jenk na to horko nenf zvykla. Ptedstavila jsem jf hodne na§ich krajanh a az ptijede podruhe tak uz bude je znat.

Ve etyti hodiny odpoledne zaeali hudebnici Ennis Country Boys hrat a pekne se to poslouchalo a rnohli jsme sledovat taneenici. Venku meli Vklijake hry a innozi nosili vyhry, a to pekne veci. Pozdeji losovali na eisla a hlavnf cena byla pekne auto, jenk nevfm kdo byl tak At'astny nebot' jsme jeli domil difve ne2li to vk zaealo.

Myslfm, 2e utrzili pekne penfze nebot' Tide hodne kupovali, i peeivo a barbecue. V§ak take krajane nanosili tolik toho dobreho peeiva, k to vyhlfklo jako nekde ye velke pekarne.

Jeae se muslin zrnfnit o krajance pi. Joe Marh§akove (ctera, byla rozena Ella Vinklerova, dcera to zesnuleho Lad'i Vinklera) ktereho jsrne dobte znali pied lety. Ona ptistrojila, 188 panenek a darovala je na bazar — a toto ji2 je druhym rokem co tak ueinila — a vzalo jf to pry dva mesice je ptistrojit a pry se davaly jako ceny na jiste hry, a stitili pry pekne penfze. Ano, bylo to vk pekne, hezky jsme se pobavili a enniskym ptejeme, ze vise se tak vydatilo a rnnoho gtesti naptf§te. Abych nezapomnela, pL Maru§akova, zaslouif velky dfk za praci a clarky pro dobro osadmbo kost,ela a §koly.

Musfm sdelit, k krajanskyr poji gujfcf spolek SVPS nedavno daroval pry §tedry darek spolku KJT jako dar na vystavenf shotele jejich sine. To je jiste chvalihodny slmtek, ktery upevnf ptatelske vztahy mezi krajanskymi spolky a jejich elen stvern. Doufam, ze takovych darcii bude vice a budou moci zaeft stavit novou sin dokud poeasf je ptiznive, a net ptijde gpatne poeasf aby bylo pod stfechou.

Slykla jsem, ze pi. Filomena Ligkova, ktera nedavno upadla a zlomila si kyeel pry pokraeuje dobre a dnes jf majf ptevezt do I.O.O.F. dornova v Ennis kde jf clajf opatrnost a a bude moci tak jf zase vezmou donna. Piltelkyni ptejeme vse dobre aby se velmi brzy uzdravila.

Ve Ft. Worth mail potad rozepte skrze hrob toho vraiednilca, Oswalda.

Jeho vdova podala 2alobu aby se mohl hrob otevilt aby se skutecne vedelo, zda v hrobe je telo Oswaldovo anebo toho ruskeho §pehouna jak nekteil tvrdf, ale brat- Robert Oswald zas podal proti-ialobu aby se zamezilo otviranf hrobu.

Jeden soudce naridil aby prozatim nic se nedelo a druhY soudce zas by byl naldonen oteviceni hrobu a zatim se to tahne a nevfm jak to dopadne.

Dle soudnfho rozhodnutf jednfm soudcem pry vdova Oswaldova ma vice prava o vgem rozhodovat bratr—tak uvidirne jak to bude.

Rovne2 stale soudcove rozmyr§lf a rozhodujf ohledne milionu zesnuleho Howard Hughese, kdy2 nenechal is adnou poslednf vuli. Ptihrasilo se asi 400 osob kteti rrlcali, ze jsou jeho ptibuzni ale po prozkoumanf soudce vymrail ianosti a rozhodl, ze z mateiny strany je asi 17 opravnenych a z otcovy strany jen 5—tedy celkem 22 kteti budou &edit. Jenie soud se thine a Wine a filcajf, k se maze tahnout 5-i 10 let a ja myslim, ze do to doby advolcati si namaiou kapsy sami a dedicove nebudou mit nic.

V seattle, ve statu Oregonu, jedna paw' vedla psa na prochazku ptes park a tam na§la den stare deveako ktere bylo odloiene poblfie stromu a opligtene Tato uvedomila policejni ntady a oni dovezli clite do detske nemocnice a asi bude dand na adoptovani nekthrym dobrym lidem na vychovani. To se poi-ad deji stra§ne veci, ze ano? Kdo mel takove srdce a dite opustil?

V Yukon, Oklahoma budou miti eesk3r" festival v sobotu 3. tijna a zvou ka2deho aby ptigel se pobavit s nirni.

Rano v deset hodin bude pruvod mestem pak vise se bude odbyrvat na Ceske sfni v Yukon, ktera se naleza dva a pill mile na jih od mesta a tam bude pak podavana veeete v 5 hodin.

Tantenf a2" do jedne hodiny rano s ttemi kapely hudebnflcii. Take difve budou ruzne Ceske narodrif twice s detmi i dospelymi, ukailca, vklijakych peknych vyrobkii a pry hodne Ceske veselosti. Z vyteiku pry podporuji ruzne organizace dobroeinne a jest to nevyrdeleenyr spolek ktery kona dobro pro lid a osadu. Yukon se naleza 15 mil na zapad od Oklahoma City a snadno se najde.

V nedeli 20 zaff meli zdej§f Indian

vetejnou drathu v Dallas, kde byly darovany krasne malby etyticiti ruznych malfru ve prospech indianske osady, aby se mohla postavit museum ve ktere by se ukazovaly a prodavaly vyrobky Indianu, aby rnohli udriet jejich kulturu a dedictvf. Bude to prvnf takova budova ktera bude slouzit zajmum nagch Indianil a je to organizace nevyrdeleena. Oni umf delat krasne veci, to jsme videli zde v jiinim Texasu a ten v Oklahome pied lety.

Nedavno jsem eetla zajimavou zpravu o dvouch lidech ktetf pted 68 lety byli milenci kdy2 chodili spolu do §koly v Nebrasce. Po vyjiti §koly se ale roze§li kady jinam, oknili se s jinymi partnery a ani o sobe nevedeli.

Pak on kdy2 ovdoir'el tak se zaeal shanet po sve byvale mile a nakl jf <v Idaho a ac je mu 89 a p; 87 tak se nakonec prece vzali po tolika letech nebot' ona ten zatfm. ovdovela. Pry jf vzalo asi mesfc si rozmyslet jestli se ma nynf vdavat ale koneene pry svolila. Dejou se nekdy divine veci, ze — ano?

Minuly tyden jsem eetla neco co asi bude zajimat nak etenate. Je to kus drama, ktera po ti-icet let nebyla rozhAtena az nynf zde v Dallas. Pied 30 lety jisty pan Cole zemtel a zanechal vdovu se sedmi malymi detmi—a tito byly v§ichni pod osmi lety. Vdova chudak si nevedela rady nebot' nemohla je utivit a tak jf nezbyvalo ne2 je dat adoptovat. Tedy dva stark' hochy si nechala a tech pet men§ich dala prye. Ti nejmen§i staff 4,3 a 1 rok si vzal manieln bratr, ale oni byli moc mall aby si pamatovali kolik jich jeae bylo dohromady. Dye deveata byly dvojeata a bydlely zde v Dallas.

Mely tukni, ze jsou nekde bratti a sestry ale nevedely kde. Zaealy tedy patrat a za etyti dni je na§ly.

Oby'eejne to vezme hodne dlouho -mesice i nekdy i roky, ale jim se to podatilo a nay nejen jednoho bratra a jednu sestru ale dve sestry a tti bratry a hodne ptibuznych o kterych ani nevedely. ZvIdAtni bylo, k, pet z tech dal stale bydleli v dallaskem okolf a dosti moZna,"., ze ti-eba se kolikrat se gly v obehodech ani by vedely, k jsou ptibuzne. Tak deveata na§la Vkchny (jedna sestra bydli v Houstonu a bratr je na Floride)a V§ichni mimo toho floridskeho meli . . rodmne sejiti mmuly mesic a az ten bratr z daleka ptijede tak se sejdou zase. Matka zerntela jim v 1973 a piece nyni se na§ly po tolika, letech a jsou tomu radi. Jak je to zvlaani nekdy ze osud to pi-ece rozluaf, ze ano? Hoeg ale je, kdyz brattf a sestry se nikdy vice nesejdou a o sobe nevedf. Tento pitad mel pekny a vesely konec a je to dobte.

Dallasky Ceskoslovenskyr den se bude konat 18. kijna ve Fair Parku jak obyeejne a snad bude poeasi plat —aspon doufejme.

CESKA. POLKA Ceska polka — Kdyi talc ndhodne otevtu radio a slytim brat nekterYm orhestrem to "na. gi" polku, vicly rnne hlavou probehne myglenica a vzpomfna,'m na dobu, kdy obyeejna sluzka z Labske Tynice byla pfivodicyrif tohoto jedineeneho a nejpopuldrnejtfho eeskeho lidoveho tance — polky. Jest vskutku tento uglechtily tanec klasickou ukdzkou nageho eegstvi a charakterizuje nad jine narody nagi povahu, ducha a veselost.

Ovgem, jak se cines polka tanef a hraje a jak se ma taneit a lira, jsou velice rozdfly.

Asi po roce 1930 2ila v Labske Tynici slukka Anna Slezakova, ktera jako kade Ceske device rada zpfcrala a tariena. Te jednoho dne napadl napev "Strejeek Nimra koupil gimra" a tanec pojmenovala "Nimra" eili "Madera." Hudbu pak die napevu upravil tamnf ueitel Josef Nenida, a brzy na to se tento tanec objevil v Prate. Tam byl poictten na jmeno "pulka" a pozdeji mu dab jmeno — polka.

V to done ten ueiteloval v Kopidine Franti gek Hilmar, jenz se narodil v r.

1803 v Nove Pace a ktery ye svem mid& jako hoch chodil se svymi rodiei svetem a hrou na Ram' a fortepiano (klavir) ptivydeldval na iivobytf a obveseloval svet. V 16 letech poeal ueitelovat a proslul pozdeji jako vybornSr pedagog, take v letech etyticatYch byl vyznaken celemu kraji co vzorny ueitel a byl za to vyznamenan zdslutnym sthiprnkm kiftem s korunou. UCil celkem 54 rokft a zemtel v Kopidine 1. njna 1881 ve staff 79 rokfi.

Hilmar, jako mnoho eesky ch kantorft, skladal polky, pochody, pfsne a inge, byit vgak v§eobecne znamS7' jako mistr poiky, nebot' poutala jej polka v puvodnf melodii, ndrodnfm sverazem a rytmem. Jeho pfivodrif Esmeralda povstala pray& pc, roce 1830 a vypravuje se o of toto: Hilmar byl dobrym taneenikem a prat si pro tanec volnej gf tempo, net bylo tehdej gf "Escoge" Ceti §ase), eili kvapfk a rychlej gf net "Nimra" novs'r tanec slu2ky Slezalove, jen2 v okolf Kopiclinskem k pfsniece "Strejeek Nimra koupil Simla" se polkovyrn tempem prave poefnal taneiti.

Siotil tedy take nekolik "nimer" a jedna takova polka se dostala bez jeho vedomf do Prahy k vojenskeinu kapel mIcovi Liemanovi a ueinila na tehdejSim Barvitskem °strove, n3rni 2offne, nesmfrne nadSenf. Za nedlouho vytla tiskem a dano jf jmeno Esmeralda.

V§ude se o ni psalo a taneenf mistfi cele Evropy ptijitdeli do Prahy, aby se polce ptitieili. Esmeralda byla prvou tigtenou polkou v Cechach a za nedlouho se octla ve vykladnfch ski-Mich v Patae, odkud se rozgffila do jinych zahranienfch zemf.

Se jrnenem Hilmarogni vgalc tesne souvisf jmeno Vaclava Straky, Hdfao ueitele v Drahordzi, nebot povzbuzen fispechy Hilmarovymi, skladal i Straka podobne polky a jine skladby. Ueiteloval celkem 55 rokft a tak se i touto tictyhodnou dobou vyrovnal svemu priteli Hilmarovi.

Tato dvojice kantorft se v muzice navzajem dopinovala, neboe nebylo
