The interest generated in the study of conversational Czech at Alvin Community College at Alvin, Texas has led to the establishment of a credit course.

The introductory course starts the 1982 fall term. It will earn three semester-hours credit and continue as a second-year course the, following fall. Each student can earn 12 hours toward graduation and will satisfy the core requirements of the school. Accreditation is acknowledged by all institutions throughout the state. ACC authorities realize the interest is great enough so the catalog of courses will carry Czech in its-humanities curriculum.

A worthwhile activity of the present Czech class is the awarding of two annual $150 scholarships to qualified students at ACC. These funds come from extra-curricular activities of the class members. This year, through unwavering determination, the class has decided on two $400 scholarships. All Czechs throughout Texas should offer a tipof-the-hat and a big , thank-you for the persistence shown by this class.

All students who are planning on matriculating at ACC should consider registering for Czech I, to be one of the FIRST in the FIRST Czech credit course offered at ACC. W. E. Souchek Czech Instructor

DEADLINE FOR MATERIAL TO BE ACCEPTED FOR THE FOLLOWING ISSUE IS THURSDAY.

The remaining district meetings are gradually coming due, with District VI holding their meeting April 18, at Lodge No. 63 in Sweet Home; also the following three other districts have their meetings April 25 - District I at Caldwell Lodge No. 186, District III at Cottonwood Lodge No. 6, and District IV at Rowena Lodge No. 49. Everyone is encouraged to attend and hear the essential information by your district officers, committees and director, because it's at these district meetings you have an opportunity to inquire about the operations of our Society; and at the same time, you have a chance to exchange ideas and socialize with other lodge members. *** Additional important activities will take place Saturday, April 24, at Praha Lodge No. 29 east of Taylor, when the annual CESAT meeting will be held, beginning at 9:30 a.m.

In the afternoon, there will also be an annual program of the IX Con; ference of Czech Students and Teachers, with a dinner and dance in the evening. We wish to advise all that this program and entertainment is sponsored by the Czech Club at the University of Texas in Austin.

Both of these organizations are striving to preserve its Czech heritage, and needs everyone's support.

Brothers and Sisters, you are encouraged to attend these functions which will be on a Saturday; this will give everybody time to reminisce with each other. MAKE AN EXTRA EFFORT TO ATTEND! Times do change. There were times when some SPJST lodges would advertise on the radio for a benefit and have it announced as a PSA (Public Service Announcement); however, when the radio announcer began to pronounce the letters for the SPJST Hall, he would, almost invariably say, "Gee you have to sneeze to say that!"

Your editor never saw any comedy or need for such statements, because I never found that sneezing would help anyone pronounce "SPJST." It is gratifying to know now that announcers discuss the affairs to be held at certain SPJST lodges and never seem to have any trouble in the pronunciation of those five initials.

Moreover, in the Central Texas area, (Waco KWTX-TV and Temple KCEN-TV) announcers have no difficulty in announcing events at various lodges.

For example, Lodge No. 177 SPJST, Academy has had advertisements on KCEN-TV Channel 6 telling of benefits for the school, fire department, and other charitable organizations; it is a comforting thought to have the publicity that the SPJST gains by announcers NOT having to sneeze to pronounce those five letters. Evidently, Times have changed! ***

Frequently, we are confronted with a question: "What does Tokrok' represent?"

First of all the question could be answered in several different places at the same time because there are many local SPJST lodges having the word "Pokrok" as a part of the name; approximately 14 lodges must mean something important, or have powerful symbolic connotation.

"Pokrok" in the Czech language is used as often as its English equivalent. The word denotes the action or the process of advancing or improving by marked stages or degrees. It also denotes movement forward as in time or space: "Progress."

To fully understand the implication and the close connection of the use of this word "progress" with a fraternal organization, an individual must look into the background of those men who had associated the term with their lodge work. Only in the light of their historical background can the popularity of the word "progress" be understood.

Actually, the history of the Czechs dates back to the fifth century, to the days when Angles Saxons, and Jutes were beginning to colonize England. We also wish to point out that, for nearly 1200 years, the Czech people, living in Bohemia and Moravia, retained their cultural unity in spite of numerous invasions.

By the end of the 16th century they lost their independence. An estimated amount of several thousand people had left their country because of ruthless treatment. The late Dr. Henry R. Maresh mentioned in his work, "The Czechs in Texas": "The population fell from three million to less than one million.

Books were destroyed, names were changed, executions and confiscation were the rule.

Thereafter, for a century, tradition of the cultural achievements was kept alive only by word of mouth in the huts of the peasant folk."

Therefore, the traditional longing for independence, improvement, and betterment was also in the blood of the Czech immigrants and, political oppression removed, they began to organize fraternal societies and build schools. The appreciation of freedom, the hope for quick cultural advancement, the desire to gratify the inherent craving for improvements; all of this was best expressed by adopting the term "Pokrok", and by naming the various local lodges in the SPJST Lodge as Lodge Pokrok Texasu No. 1, Fayetteville, (Progress of Texas) No 1, Fayetteville, Lodge Pokrok Slovanii (Progress of Sla ys) No 31, Yoakum; Lodge Pokrok Rowena No. 49, Rowena; Pokrok Sweet Home No 63, Sweet Home; Pokrok Jihu (Progress of the South) No 72, Cameron; Pokrok Dallas (Progress of Dallas) No 84, Dallas; Pokrok Haskell No 85, Weinert; Pokrok Houstonu No. 88, Houston; Pokrok MladeZe (Progress of Our Youth) No. 100, Sebesta; Pokrok Gainesville No 101, Gainesville; Pokrok Flatonia No. 103, Flatonia; Pokrok Benview No. 153, La Salle; Pokrok Baytown No. 156, Baytown and Pokrok Brazoria No. 162, Iowa Colony. From this you can see that our founders and forefathers had progress (pokrok) deeply implanted in their minds!

Supreme Lodge report by Brother Sid Pokladnik, District III director.

Comments were made explaining the letter from the SL on the representation of the Supreme Lodge by district directors. The Home Office extends best wishes and a fruitful meeting.

The last convention authorized the conversion from hand-type bookkeeping to a computer. This transition is going smoothly with people from the Supreme Lodge not outside computer experts who would have cost much more. It is my prediction that, by the first of the year, the change-over will be complete and in full operation.

At the present time there are no mortgage dollars available for loans.

With the previous low rate of interest all of the dollars available have been committed. This is only temporary. At the January 1982 meeting of Supreme Lodge this should change.

One of the comments made by the insurance auditors, when their audit of the Supreme Lodge's books was completed, was in regards to the refund checks the local lodges receive. We have many checks that are out longer than one year. In the future, if you have a check, and are not able to get it to the proper person within 180 days, return it to the Supreme Lodge so other action can be taken.

At the National Fraternal Congress convention, that was just held, their theme was "Changes" changes within the fraternal system.

We, at SPJST, want to look to the future. A committee called the Corporate Planning Committee consisting of 2 officers and 3 directors was appointed to report new ideas for the Society at the quarterly meeting. This group is responsible for the future goals and objectives of our Society.

The local lodges must continue their scheduled meetings; this is one of the qualifications for a non-profit organization. Also try to involve the young people of the lodge in both social, recreational and also the operations of our lodges.

A report of the insurance sales representatives. There are 10 sales representatives present here today.

The sales force is approximately four million dollars ahead of last year's pace. In District III there is a total of 83 representatives; of these 54 have had production in 1981, only 29 have not written policies. The important growth of SPJST is what these people are able to produce.

With this, Brother Henry Breitkreutz recessed the meeting for lunch. Time for re-adjournment was 1:30 p.m.

After calling the meeting to order, the president asked the secretary

10/VESTNN — Wednesday, April 14, 1982

Weekly News From Lodge No. 88 The Friday night dance with music by the Texas Brew (Country/ Western) was hosted by Edna Wehring in charge, Bill, her husband, with Bill Neskorik seated the guests; Pat Neskorik attended to the box office and the Wahlbers, Jimmie and Bernice greeted the guests at the door.

April 3, the following night, was a gala night with the John Sullivan Orchestra performing for the lovely group of guests. This was an advance ticket sale and wellattended; not to capacity but fair.

Many came without reservations and bought their tickets on the spot.

This was a dress-code dance and the guests came dressed accordingly and were just beautiful. Hosting this dance and, in charge, a new committee member, Bill McCaskill, and serving in the box office was his wife, Vera, with Rita Alexander seating the arriving guests. At the door were two lovely ladies, Lil Holley and Agnes Cheyny, all four ladies on the committee looked lovely, dressed in evening attire. Of course, Homer Alexander, Entertainment Chairman, looked handsome in his tuxedo and ruffled shirt. The orchestra members, also dressed in evening attire were a very lovely sight in the Chandelier Ballroom.

It is so pleasing and gratifying to see our guests come year after year to celebrate their special events of their lives at Lodge No. 88. The following are regulars at our dances and Saturday, at John Sullivan's dance, a line of celebrations took place. Noble Keating proudly accepted all kinds of wishes for his 62nd birthday March 22, 1982 while his wife, Kay, looked at Noble lovingly. Edgar Ruppert had his birthday April -4 and, at 61, he looks great; to top it off, they included the 38th wedding anniversary of Edgar and lovely wife, Edna Ruppert; they pledged their wedding vows March 22, 1944. The third couple, Allen and Bernice Coppack were married March 20, 1971 for 11 years. These three couples celebrate together every year with lot of goodies and a special birthday cake for the two celebrants, Noble and Edgar. Best Wishes to all!

At the Thursday social night an announcement was made: This to be the last time for us to get together and enjoy the friendly social games, until further notice. All the attending members, friends and guests, accepted this news with regrets and are hoping these social gatherings will resume soon, because only the nicest people come to Lodge No. 88 and will miss each other. Many friends were made at these social nights and will miss each other, until we meet again; the question all around was: "What will we do in the meantime, on Thursday night?" To think about it, it almost was a ritual for most to bring a sandwich or a snack and enjoy the games in a friendly mood.

Irna O'Connor, April 1st, opened her blue eyes to look at this world and smiled, and that smile is still with her; she is a wonderful person.

Her granddaughter, Elizabeth Gooden, age 6, showed her affection in creating an original birthday card

for her-grandmother, which Irna proudly showed to her friends and will treasure for life. The verse of loving words and a picture of "Miss Piggy" adorned with 5 shining stars over her head were something elese and Irna wondered what they really meant. To top it off, she was lucky that night. Happy Birthday!

A combination of a farewell and birthday party was celebrated on the last social night around the table with 25 members with a lot of delicious goodies and cake for Della Kadlecek's birthday, on the 11th of April. They all were hoping to see each other at a social very soon.

Happy Birthday!

Homer and Rita Alexander celebrated a nice 36 wedding anniversary with a trip to the Bahamas for 7 days and came back March 23, just in time to be here to welcome their fourth grandchild born March 26, 1982 to their son, Larry and daughter-in-law, Pam Alexander. Tiny Katherine Elizabeth, weighing almost 6 lbs., has a nickname already; she will be called "Katy". So far they have four grandchildren from ages 10 to one month; little by little the Alexander family is increasing now: 2 grandsons and 2 granddaughters to date. Congratulations to the proud grandparents and the parents.

It was a pleasure to see and talk to Calvin and Allen Orsag the other night; they are the sons of one of our dear members, the late Anna Orsag Vrla; she was devoted to Lodge No. 88 and, for years, she corresponded in Czech to our weekly SPJST paper, the "Vestnik". Anna was a charter and a devoted Birthday Club member until her death. The older son, Calvin, married to Florence, reared two lovely daughters, the pride of their late grandmother.

Allen, the younger son, lived with his mother until her departure from this world. Allen, still single and a handsome bachelor, lives in the same place. It was nice to see you, Calvin, Florence and Allen.

Sunday, May 16, 1982 the Hlahol Dramatic Club will present a musical comedy, "Melody of the Czech Village." The rehearsals are on regular schedule and everyone involved will give his or her best for a perfect performance on May 16.

Director Milo Karel, with his experience and knowledge and with the cooperation of the cast, assures you of a pleasant Sunday afternoon.

The first time on our stage are Mirek Sulz, Vera Cotrin, Helen Kubicek and Mrs. Krejci. Miluska Kovancla established herself in one of our Czech plays before. Frank Sebek is a veteran and, as I said before, Jan Schroif with Director Milo Karel make a pair long to remember. Mark your calendar for May 16, 1982, and read the ad in the Vestnik for more information.

Lodge "Clean-up Day" is Saturday, May 1, 1982; your help is needed, the more the better! Come out and help!

Al Pierson will be with us again:in May, so watch the advance ticket sale.

Fraternally, Frances Olexa SPJST-

Worth Lodge No. 92 Meeting Changed

Ft.

Dear Members: Our meeting was opened March 14 with President Albert Kubala presiding. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable meeting. Sister Estebell Hubenak gave the pledge to our Flag while the youth club members were out of doors flying kites.

The minutes were read by Sister Christine Zich; they were approved as read. The other committee chairpersons made their respective reports which were all approved as read.

During the meeting I learned that Nancy Paprskar's mother died Monday, March 1, 1982. She had her 90th birthday December 20, 1981.

We would like to offer the Paprskar family our sincere sympathy as well to the Krivanek family. Inez Krivanek's father died March 14, 1982. One more sad note, Sister Zich's mother is very ill. Her father is in his eighties and unable to care for himself at home. Whatever any brother and sister of Lodge No. 92 can do to help during these times, we are most happy to do so; please call on us.

Brother Murphy underwent a very serious operation recently, Being the fighter he is, he came through the surgery like a champ.

He is now up and around; he was even at our last meeting.

Brother Frankie, our manager, announced that there will be a polka dance Saturday, April 17, 1982 and Bill Kucera Czech Mates will play. I know we are in for a treat. St. Thomas Church is sponsoring the dance; also, our lodge is having a polka dance May 15. Henry Rejcek will play. Everyone put on your dance shoes and come out and have a great time with us. I know it will be a good time ... lots of fun!

There is never a dull moment at our meetings. This time Brother Chaloupka came to the meeting with his pretty shirt buttoned crossedeyed, so Liz and I tried to do it right while his wife, Justine, watched with embarrassment. However, after a little struggle, we had everything going our way. Brother Rudy said that he was so excited to be at the meeting he never noticed how he buttoned his shirt; so you see, Brother Chaloupka, that is why we have "first aid" at our meeting.

Sister Liz Howard came to the meeting all excited. Her grandson, Greg Ford, entered a pig in the County Fair in Saginaw, Texas and won fourth place and also won the "Showmanship" award. We are proud of you Greg. Do it again next year' I must add, his pig sold for $600 and that is not hog feed, is it Greg?

Our youth club was out flying kites during our meeting. They had an excellent day. The breeze was just right. The youth leader, Brother Gordon, gave everyone a prize for doing a good job flying kites.

Personally, I can't see how my granddaughter Kellie got anything.

I asked her where her kite was She answered: "In the tree". Maybe she got a prize for flying a kite in the tree. The youth planned an Easter egg hunt for Saturday, April 10 in the afternoon.

Our next meeting will be the third Sunday of the month, April 18, 1982 because of Easter Holiday. It will start at 2 as usual.

Our meeting ended with members hungry and anxious to dive into some delicious food prepared by our Kitchen Committee. Our president kept us a little longer this time so we were also thirsty, so Brother Tesar rushed to open the bar.

Don't forget our meeting Sunday, April 18, 1982 at 2 p.m.

Fraternally yours, Helen Kubala -SPJST

Lodge No. 183,9 Mid-Cities News Dear Members: Just one more reminder about the lodge dance for Saturday, April 17 from 8 p.m. until 1 a.m.; come on out and enjoy the country-western music of "Patchwork"; beer and setups will be available and cover charge will be $3. Bring a friend, your neighbor, and relatives and let's have a ball!

Members, remember Sunday, April 18 is lodge day at 6:30 p.m. at the lodge hall; business and activities will be discussed and, if you would like to have a say in how your lodge is run, you need to be there because YOU are the lodge and only YOU at the meetings can change things YOU don't like!

Without members a lodge building is an empty building: a reminder to the neighborhood that nothing is going on but with active members it is a warm, friendly place where your friends and neighbors like to come and enjoy themselves, meet new friends and, in time, the building will be an asset to the community; also a place where fraternalism spreads like wild-fire!

Some people complain about thorns on roses while others are grateful that beautiful roses grow on thorny bushes.

OOPS! I GOOFED! In my newsletter of March 24 I said the lodge donated 200 cans of canned goods to the Star House and 200 cans to St. Vincent De Paul's to be distributed to needy families. It should have read a $200 value of canned goods to Star House and a $200 value of canned goods to St. Vincent De Paul's. Sorry about that, lodge members; I will try to do better in the future.

I was planning to tell a joke and while reading a joke book I came across this little saying: "If you steal a joke from one author, it's plagiarism; if you steal from two or three authors, it's discernment; if you steal from many, it's masterful research." So members, before I tell a joke, I will do masterful research.

Keep smiling!

Myslfme na nage pribuzne poblite Sherman, zda jim to nenadelalo hodne gkody — dou.fame, te ne. Byli jsme opravdu velmi gfastni, ze u nas to nebylo hor gf a miltem dekovat!

Lekce dvanazta — Lesson No. 12 Vowels and Consonants In Czech, the vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and y. They may be either short or long.

The rest of the letters in the alphabet are called consonants.

These consonants have about the same sound as in English: b, d, f, h, m, n, p, r, s, v, and z.

Examples: bude naeinf dotel prsten fazol rano hrdina strana Lev maslo zima Translate

The consonants b, d, h, v, and z have different sounds when they appear at the end of a syllable or at the end of a word: The d sounds like a t, h like th, b like p, z like s, and v like an f.

Examples: (1 syllable) (2 or more syllables) dub pohadka vilz kolebka htev poultazka rad hlavka pluh vlhko Translate Some consonants fall into a special category, because they do not have exact English equivalents: CH — as in "loch" or the German `Bach' (has to be demonstrated to be heard correctly). ucho, chystati, chyba, chtipka. g — as in gun, got. granat, gro guma. k — as in cafe, cat. koeka, kUfi. c — like is in mats, bats. testa, cena, 6,-- like ch in chair, church. Glen, elovek, test. j — like y in yet, yam. jelen, jemny, jed.

— like sh in shoot, shirt. tkoda, tkola, 2 — like the s in measure, pleasure.

2ertovali, taludek, tarovka.

— very hard for non-Czechs to say, because there is no English equivalent. Remotely resembles rshr/ Must be learned from someone who speaks Czech. — etenat, tad, Recko.
