THE ART OF WORDS

A careless word may kindle strife.

A cruel word may wreck a lif A bitter word may hate instill.

A brutal word may smite and kill.

A gracious word may smooth the way.

A joyous word may light the day.

A timely word may lessen stress.

A loving word may heal and bless.

This week your editor has a choice to

talk in platitudes as so many of our politicians, self-esteemed do-gooders,

etc., do or getting down to true fraternal values; your editor will choose the last.

This writer MARLENE (HORAK) STRONG — 2600 remembers one quote Brother CYPRESS CIRCLE, BRYAN, TX 77801 - AC Reuben Lesikar made at one time 713: 775-1538 when he was reminded that the DISTRICT II position he was taking may mean his FRANK KLINKOVSKY -- 1503 E.

Fraternal benefit societies must sponsor activities that meet the changing needs of their members, the newly-elected president of the National Fraternal Congress of America (NFCA) said today.

John A. Gorski, Chicago, IL, was elected NFCA president today by delegates of the 98 member societies who are represented at the 95th annual meeting of the organization being held this week at the San Diego Town and Country Hotel.

Gorski, who last year was vice president of the NFCA, called upon fraternal organizations to "get back to the basics" of serving people.

Noting that fraternal benefit societies compete with a number of other activities for the free time of their members, Gorski said that societies must change their concept of service and present relevant and meaningful programs that appeal to the interests of their members.

The new NFCA head suggested programs that address the financial concerns of young people, the future plans of those facing retirement and the problems facing the elderly.

Gorski is Chief High Ranger of the Catholic Order of Foresters, which is headquartered in Chicago, IL. A native of Milwaukee, Gorski is a veteran of World War II. In 1968 he was elected Wisconsin State Court Trustee of the Catholic Order of Foresters. He was elected High Secretary of the organization in 1976, and in April of 1980 was elected to complete the unexpired term of the High Chief Ranger. He was elected to a four-year term at the organization's national convention in August that year.

Gorski has been active in the Illinois State Fraternal congress and is presently vice president of that group. He has served as a director of the NFCA for three years.

Unveiled by Gorski, the NFCA's 1981-82 theme is "Promote Fraternalism Through Change."

SPJST--

The SPJST Publication Committee

(PC) met at 10 a.m. Saturday, September 27, 1981 at our SL Headquarters. Our publisher, Bro. Larry Ingram, and your editor were also present; all the PC members were present.

They discussed their necessary business and two letters dealing with the contents of the Vestnik.

You readers will remember that, immediately prior to the PC meeting (for 3 issues) various size headings of letters and articles were used to give the members and PC members an idea of how they would like the Vestnik to continue. The members reported that a great majority of our members, including the PC members prefer the larger type, especially on letters, so we are using their decision and using smaller headings only in the Youth and Necrology Sections. .1

News From Lodge No.88 The country-western music by the Telstars held Friday, October 2 had a very poor attendance and was hosted by Millie Manack in charge and in the ticket office. Her friend Kate Brocato was greeting the guests at the door with Martha Baxter (Martha also serves on the Resolution Committee). Henry Kite was on the spot in place of the chair­ man, Homer Alexander to help the ladies.

Saturday's dance was Ray Jurecka and his orchestra entertain­ ing with ballroom music. The dance was well-attended and everyone present was dressed according to the required dress code, which always is a pleasant sight to see in the Chandelier Ballroom. Hosting this dance was Ellen Miculka in charge and selling advance tickets for the John Sullivan dance for October 10. Ellen was dressed in a long black skirt and topped with a frilly white chiffon blouse. Ed Miculka, her husband, with Joe Miksch seated the guests. Al Hempel was in the box officeand his wife, Bea, in a lovely lavender gown was at the door. Bea also serves the lodge on the Auditing Committee and worked as assistant secretary to Ellen Miculka for many years in the lodge office; with her was Della Miksch in a becoming maroon gown greeting the arriving guests. Della is a devoted Birthday Club sister for many years.

Verleen Dunn is glad to have her husband, Charles, home from St. Luke's Hospital where he was confined two weeks after his surgery. Charles was released September 18 and now is recuperating at home.

Mary Kosut, our Sunshine Girl for the Birthday Club and Statistician for the lodge, was taken by her husband, Johnnie to the Houston Northwest Medical Center, September 30 after having continuous severe headaches and neck pains. Mary was injured about three years ago in one of the large department stores here in Houston; she slipped on some ice-cream spilled by someone. After that she spent some time in the hospital·and felt better, but not quite well and hoping she will get well but lately she was suffering, and not being able to sleep at night. we an hope she will be helped this time and they fill find a cure for whatever the cause. Johnnie is very concerned and so are we.

A happy group of people meet every Tuesday night from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30p.m. to attend classes to learn to speak our wonderful Czech language. It is just great to hear all the enthusiasm from the attending students about their wonderful instructor, , Mr. William Souchek, and it is not at all surprising because he is a very, very good teacher and they all are very eager to learn.

Through the years, Lodge No. 88 sponsored Czech courses almost every year, but from all the remarks I hear, there were none better than this year. Mr. Souchek has a special talent to present his lessons in a way to inspire interest to learn; up to now, I think they had four sessions and they are already sorry that the course will end too soon.

Ladies' Circle Lodge No. 92, Fort Worth Dear Members and Friends: You can always tell the beginning of fall when that cool crisp breeze relieves the, usual hot sultry summer weather.

Our meeting was brought to order by our President Julia Dueser. She introduced Lucy Debues of the Texas Electric Co, who showed slides called "Play Half Written".

Mary Ann Krivanek and Josephine Prochaska were appointed to find a place to meet and have lunch for our November meeting.

Don and Mary Powers have made two Bird Shows since our last meeting. After returning from Seattle, Washington, where Don judged birds, they left to go to Dallas, Iowa, which is located near Des Moines. Don has been judging birds for the past thirty years and is a well-known bird judge nationally.

We are proud to have them working in our circle.

We are sorry to hear that our Vice-President Bessie Prochaska is in St. Joseph's Hospital. Hurry and get well, Bessie.

"Happy Birthday was sung to Annie Belota, Florence Greer, Mary Ann Krivanek, Frances Simmank, Evelyn Spacek, Ann Synek, Don Powers and Ernie Dueser.

Hosts and Hostesses for this month are Albina Kuban, Eleanor Swacek, Mary White, Rose Nieswiodomy, Joyce Tesar, Bernie Halford, Frank Kovar and Esta Bell Hubenak, who was in the hospital last month, and Florence Greer substituted in her place.

We have just heard the happy news that Jimmy and Wanda Mason are the proud parents of twins, a boy and a girl. Congratulations to them and to the grandmother, Jeanie Mason of Lodge No. 154.

Hope to see all of you at our October meeting.

Fraternally, Flora Koci Reporter -SPJST-

p.m. Don't forget because it will be your loss if you don't attend, so don't

miss out on important things. Our attendance has been very good. .

The lodge's past dance was also nicely-attended by a good crowd to fine music lovers to a well-known Ray Krenek Orchestra held October 3.

At the door meeting guests for the dance were Sis. Evelyn and Bro. Herbie Kimmons and Sister Margie Lee Nelms. We thank them for extending good hospitality to everyone.

Those of you who have attended activities at our lodge can say we are friendly and loving people who want to return to the dances; for instance like Ray Krenek and his band were so anxious to furnish their music that they got lost about five miles off a wrong exit. Anyway thanks to them for they were there before time and one still came a bit later; thanks to him, too for they really put out good music.

Our next dance will be held October 17 with music by well-known Brother Henry Repka and the "Music Kings."

He is the leader of the band and his son is the vocalist who sings so pretty.

All of us like him very much. Don't forget your reservations in advance for you will miss a nice night of your

weekend of entertainment.

75 . 85 Saturday, October 31 which is 40.93 Halloween night, come dressed in your best Halloween costume. Lee Roy Matocha from Fayetteville, - Texas will furnish the music. At the door that night will be: Brother John - T. Mikeska, Sister Esther Mikeska and Sister Margie Lee Nelms, so we invite all of you to attend and have a good time.

Last, but not least, about the news in this vrriteup, I am again urging all our brothers and sisters of the lodge to attend meetings because it's important to be present for curiosity

We should be very proud of this report. Again let me remind you that the election of the rest home director will be held at the fall meeting. This concludes my report.

Insurance Committee Report: Brother Ben Jarma said that he .had nothing to report at this time.

The YC officers were elected and they are as follows: President Delores Dobecka, Vice President Theresa Dobecka, Secretary Karen Hykel, Treasurer Darrin Banik; and photographers are Larry Petr and Dawn Pavelka; also remember that all camp forms must be notarized this year.

Audit Committee Report: Sister Carlyn Ondrusek, chairperson, reported that the committee found the District III books to be in order.

The books of the district youth counselor were not, at this time, in order; they found that it was very hard to understand the system on which they were kept and that anyone should be able to look at the books and understand them.

After a lengthy discussion of them, it was decided to have Brother Sid Pokladnik and Brother Ben Jarma look into new accounts and how the club could best benefit from them and make a decision at the fall meeting.

A motion was made and seconded that we accept the Audit Committee's report as presented. Motion carried.

Carlyn Ondrusek made a motion that a Savings Account be opened for $1,000 and the balance in a Checking Account. The motion was seconded by Brother Johnnie Hrabina. Motion carried.

by Brother Leonard Mikeska, SL Secretary-Treasurer.

A motion was made to adjourn by Brother Sid Pokladnik at 3:02 p.m. and seconded by Brother Johnie Hrabina. Motion carried.

The meeting adjourned.

Corpus Christi Texas

Features

Friendly Visit August 14, 1981, I received a telephone call from Mrs. Elaine Miller Richardson of Corpus Christi, editor for the Coastal Bend Genealogical Society. She introduced herself and said that Mr. Albin Janosek recommended me to her for the information that she needed for her bulletin: The Volume 17, No. 3 September 1981; it is issued quarterly.

Mr. Albin Janosek is one of the directors for the Czech Heritage Society. I have known him 31 years.

He was employed by the Post Office for many years as a window clerk and gave me good service when I bought postal stamps at the Port Ayers Post Office.

Mrs. Richardson wanted to know when I would be free to give her information in the affair of the Czech-Moravian population in and around the Corpus Christi area. My answer was that she will be welcome anytime. August 17, she called again and said that she would come at 8 p.m. She and Mr. A. Janosek came and Mrs. Richardson was prepared with a notebook and a cassette to record everything what we have to say; my own cassette was also put into action. After looking at one of my many albums, at 10 p.m., we said good night to each other. It was a wonderful moment and added to my notebook and cassette file. October 1st, I received one copy of the Coastal Bend Genealogical Society Bulletin from Mrs. Richardson; one page is filled with my information.

Another Friendly Visit October 26, 1981, my dear daughter Lillie Huber and her daughter, Paula Nichols, from Austin, Texas made me a lovely visit. Paula returned home next day (Sunday) by airplane at 7:30 p.m. She is employed at the Research and Accounting with the Texas Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relation. In the spare time, she is studying accounting at Austin Community College. It is a pleasure to hear of her effort to continue in the education as it is needed. (My two sons-in-law retired when they reached 65 years; one is constantly working; so is my only son Johnny-busy all the time. These two are working contractors for themselves. Grandsons and their dear wives and dear granddaughter and her husband also stay with their jobs. Great-grandchildren, of school age, are good students. It keeps me happy to have this kind of family.)

When somebody asked me how are you? My answer is: "It can be better." The unpleasant accident I had January 16, 1980 with a broken hip is painful. I asked my doctor, Dr. Wright, who operated on my hip and when will this pain end? He said, you 89; that was in year 1980. I was born December 31, 1890. I always have been looking for better coming years; they never came for all.

National debt is over one trillion bad business!

We are in need of some good rain.

Bill Souchek To Return To Czech Program At ACC The success of ACC's Conversational Czech courses and the Czech Club activities can be attributed to the efforts of many interested people, but the person who obviously has made the greatest contribution is Mr. Bill Souchek.

Working with the program as the instructor for several years, Mr. Souchek always spent many hours encouraging the students and promoting, activities for them. He is also responsible for the acquisition of scholarship funds, which are awarded each year to worthy students of Czech descent. He made the initial contact with the agencies who make the contribution for scholarships to the ACC program.

He and his wife travel extensively each summer, and they bring back many items of interest for the students to discuss and enjoy, . . . mostly from Czechoslovakia.

Souchek had to leave the instructional program for Czech at ACC a couple of years ago. Loved by the students, his leaving was not pleasant for anyone connected with the ACC Czech program. However, he will be returning this fall to teach Conversational Czech once again at ACC. Students not only look forward to the interesting classes, but to the fun-filled activities of the Czech Club — the first of which will probably be selling kolaches at the ACC Halloween Carnival in October.

Meeting on Monday evenings, 7:30-9:30, students will begin their studies September 14 in the Liberal Arts Center, Room G-107. Classes will continue through November 16.

Tuition for the course is $20, and interested persons may register at the ACC Continuing Education Office, Room G-100 in the Liberal Arts Center.

Co mne se tyka jsem spokojeny se svym stavern. Mohlo to byt leptf, ale to poranenf kloubu utrpene dne 16. ledna 1980 mi pokazilo ten blcifcf se konec iivota. Dne 31. prosince mi bylo 90 mkt. Vidy jsem se radovalze ty pomery vteobecne se zleptf. Toho jsem se nedoekal a ani ui nedoekam.

Babieka, kterd se s oblibou bflym "kaffekem" s buchtou, mela by aspon k obedu snfst kousek masa se zeleninou. Dedetek, ktery holduje spite uzenindm a pivu, by zase nemel zapomfnat na mleko nebo tvaroh tteba k brambordm. Zdroje bilkovin musime sttfdat kvuli nerostnym latkam.

Mimoto je bflek naprosto netkodny, nebot' cholesterol vilbec neobsahuje, a tak razne snehove peny jsou pochoutkou idealni, pro startf osoby tei pro lehkou stravitelnost.

Nejen pestry vyber potravin, mezi kterymi nikdy nesmf chybet ani ovoce ani zelenina veetne brambor, ale take kuchyriska iiprava je velmi aby pokrmy byly snadno stravitelne vzhledem k snfiene vykonnosti traviciho tistrojf popt. k nedostateenemu nebo umelemu chrupu.

Je-li maso tuhe radeji je umeleme a upravfme jako hate nebo sekaninu.

Podobne tvrdou zeleninu na salat — okurky, papriku, kvetak aj. musime jemne nakrouhat. Podle snatenlivosti poda yame salaty — hlaykovy, rajtatovy a jine — zejmena zasyrova, a to vidy s olejem, nebot' ten pro obsah nenasycenych mastnych kyselin pitsobf antiskleroticky Z ostatnfch tukii se nejlepe hodf maslo, nebot' je nedocenitelne jako zdroj vitamfnu A, pottebneho proti terosleposti.
