******************** RVOS Concludes Convention The Farmers Mutual Protective Association of Texas (RVOS) recently completed its quadrennial convention at the KC Hall in Temple, Texas. The convention opened on Monday morning, June 21st, and the gavel sounded at the end of the final session on Wednesday, June 23rd, at 12:50 p.m.

Wednesday's session primarily concerned the election of officers and directors.

There were 171 delegates present at this convention and a number of changes were made in the constitution and by-laws of the RVOS. One of the highlights of the convention was the Tuesday night banquet. Representatives of other organizations, fraternal and mutual, brought greetings to the convention, including Supreme Lodge President Nick A. Morris, who spoke to the assembly briefly on early Tuesday afternoon. Other Supreme Lodge officers were introduced at the time.

This year's convention was chaired again by Bro. Sid Pokladnik, RVOS delegate and SPJST District III Director, and co-chaired by Matt Vanek, also delegate and SPJST Director from District VI. Officers elected or re-elected are as follows: President Glenn Hutka, First Vice President Emil Brozek, Second Vice President Stan Patak, Secretary Richard Hykel, Treasurer Julius Dubcak, and Legal Adviser Sidney Kacir. Incumbent President Jerry Valchar announced his retirement effective January 1, 1983, and

No. 183, Mid-Cities News Lodge

Dear Members, It is summer time now and less people seem to find time to come to lodge dances and socials because of vacations and fishing. This is just a reminder that there will be a lodge dance Sunday, July 10 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., beer and set-ups will be available at the bar so byob! Music will be by LONE STAR EXPRESS; bring some friends and have a good time and enjoy yourselves at the o' hall.

Last week I told you about forming a committee to see about buying property and starting to make plans for your future home for Lodge 183 and a building fund has been set up in an Arlington bank, so now we need to hear from you members what you would like in a new home; the more ideas the better, you members are the lodge and you should be in there telling the committee what kind of a hall you want to build because you, the members, will be responsible for paying for the building after it is built.

I have already told you there will be no lodge meeting in July because so many will be out of town but remember that there will be one in August so that will be your day to bring your ideas to the lodge meeting.

One time when my friend was in the breeding business, he crossed a parrot with a tiger; he doesn't know what it is but when it talks everybody listens! I hope everyone going on a vacation will have a good time and enjoy themselves. As I said in my last letter I am planning a 7day cruise in Hawaii and the rest of July, I plan on going to my little farm in Hamilton County and build a workshop so I can start working and

restoring a 1927 model "T" truck that I have. I will try to keep you informed what is new in Ad around Lodge 183 during July because I plan on keeping up with you other members of 183.

Keep smiling!

Library,

Dear Readers: I would like to take this opportunity to again invite all of you to come and see the LIBRARY, ARCHIVES AND OUR MUSEUM. If you are one of those who have not seen it, you don't know what you are missing; come down and see it soon, you'll be glad you did.

In our library we need the following to complete our files: TIME MAGAZINE-we need 1981 January 5-12-26, February 2, March 16-23-30, April 13-2-27, May 4-11-18, June 1-8-15, July 13. U.S. NEWS: January 5, February 16, March 3-1017-24. If you have any of these copies and would like to donate them to our library, it would be very much appreciated and will get our files complete and your name will be placed on our GOLDEN BOOK of donors. THANK YOU! We have room in our library for additional one thousand or more books, so if you have any books that you would like to place where they will be safe and live in your name forever, send them to us, they can be in any condition; those that need repair will be repaired. We can use them in either English or Czech language.

For our museum we are badly in need of some MEN mannikens; we have two beautiful service uniforms and nothing to put them on. We need a walking cotton and corn planter either wood or metal to complete our pioneer farm display. We still need several pair of wooden plow handles if you only have the hand grips with at least a foot of straight stock we can make rest of the length as many pioneers had to do and, no matter how old they are, we can make them do to complete several plows and sweepstocks we already have. In our Saddle and Harness Department, we can use several pairs of COWBOY BOOTS, SPURS, CHAPS; the older the better.

When you visit the Library, Archives and Museum it is very important to us that you sign the guest book each time you visit the department. We will appreciate this very much; that tells us how many visitors we have!

Fraternally yours, Otto Hanus Curator-Librarian -SPJST-

Ladies'

Dear Members and Friends: The hot weather has arrived with the passing of spring as a pleasant memory. The constant threat of thunder storms and violent weather both here and in other states have kept most people in a state of wondering what will happen next.

Several of our neighbors and members have been canning fruit

and vegetables from gardens which have escaped the severe weather.

Our meeting opened with Mary Powers, president, calling the meeting to order. Hermina Cihacek substituted for Mary Ann Krivanek and Ann Polk, substituted for Lillian McMillian, who had fallen and hurt herself. We hope both will be able to attend our next meeting.

We enjoyed a very informative program of slides on the Fort Worth Crime Prevention presented by Mary Harwell.

The door prize donated by Elizabeth Gregory was won by Clara Marchioni. A thank you note was sent to Carl Zich for putting on a countertop in the kitchen. We are really proud of it.

"Happy Birthday" was sung to Tillie and Art Gillis, Bessie Prochaska, Rose Strnad, Christine Zich, Bernadett Tesar Holford, Eleanor Svacek, Anna Juran and Frances Gizzard.

Visitor was Margarette Ramsey.

We hope you will come again.

We have had several members who have made trips and visits out of town. Mary Palochek and I took a plane trip to Nashville, Tennessee, where we were met by my son, Billy Koci, grandson, David and Connie, my daughter-in-law. We took in the "Grand ole Opera", visited several historical homes and had a lot of fun.

I want to thank Mary Cihacek for filling in for me while I was away.

Gordon Lee Hubenak, leader of the Youth Group, took his family and his mother, Esta Belle, to West for the Southern District Sokol Slet. They met several members from Lodge No. 154 at the motel where they stayed. They also enjoyed the dance and all the gymnastic and athletic sports.

Mary, Phyllis and Hermine Cihacek also slipped away for a weekend to Louisiana. I am sure they had fun, but I am not sure what they won. Ann Polk slips in and out of town so often that it is hard to keep up with her.

Before closing, our circle would like to congratulate all of our High School graduates. Our lodge and Circle ladies are all proud of your accomplishments and wish all of you success in your future endeavors.

We want to especially extend congratulations to Helen Kay Lindsey, honor student, who graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a B.S. Degree in Advertising._ She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Lindsey of Weatherford, Texas. She is the niece of several of our members in the circle.

The host and hostesses for our July meeting are Helen and Mike Paprskar, Rose Jaworski, Bennie Bartek, Bennie Hundle, Minnie Ruzicka and Evelyn Spacek.

Don't forget July 13th, our next meeting date. Be seeing you then.

XX Annual St. Cyril & Methodius Heritage Day - Czech, Polish & t ainian Festival The annual St. Cyril & Methodius Heritage Day consisting of the religious program in the morning and the cultural program in the afternoon is celebrated the 2nd Sunday in July in Houston, Texas by Czech, Polish and Ukrainian Americans. The religious program rotates; this time the Holy Mass will be celebrated in Czech language by Bishop John L. Morkovsky of Houston-Galveston Diocese with songs during Mass by Czech Heritage Singers. Next year Holy Mass will be in Ukranian and the following year in Polish language.

This Heritage Day commemorates the bringing of Christianity, culture and education in the Slavic language

by Cyril & Methodius to Great Moravia (Czechoslovakia) in 863.

Cyril & Methodius prepared for this mission a Slav translation of the Scriptures and chief liturgical books which became the foundations of the literature of Sla ys. Cyril invented for this purpose an alphabet which almost unchanged is still used in Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Serbia in Yugoslavia. These brothers, sometimes called apostles of Slays, were natives of Solun (Thessalonica) in present Northeastern Greece. Cyril's name was actually Constantine; he adopted his name as Cyril in Rome, where he became a monk a few years before he died there in 865.

Both brothers were well educated, Cyril surnamed the "the Philosopher" for his learning was a professor of school at the imperial court and Methodius was a high administrative official for the Slavic Territories of the Byzantine Empire.

(Present northeastern Greece and southern Bulgaria.) Cyril and Methodius were sent by the Byzantine emperor Michael III on several missions to bring Christianity to the neighboring countries, such as northern Bulgaria, southern Russia (Ukraine) and northwestern Macedonia at the request of the rulers of those countries. Their most important mission was to the Great Moravia, where they were sent at the request of the Moravian Duke Rastislav in 863. Great Moravia consisted of Moravia, Slovakia, parts of southern Poland (Silesia), whole of present Hungary and parts of northeastern Yugoslavia. Methodius was consecrated Bishop of the Moravians in 869; in 879 he succeeded the approval of Pope John VIII in celebration of the Mass in the Slavic language. Methodius died at Hradiste in Moravia on the 6th of April 885.

St. Cyril & Methodius are national saints of Czechoslavakia, thus Czech people and representatives of other Slavic nations gloriously celebrated the Millenary arrival of St. Cyril and Methodius to Great Moravia at Velehrad Shrine — the fabled capital of the long gone Great Moravian Empire on July 5th, 1863.

Great annual celebrations of the apostles of Sla ys at Velehrad in the years that followed became the symbols of Slavic Unity and the

same p`rinciple governs the annual St. Cyril & Methodius Heritage Day celebration here in Houstkm.

The XX Anniversary of the first celebration of the apostles of Slays in Houston, together with founding at that time of the St. Cyril & Methodius Heritage Society in this city calls for the well deserved recognition of Bishop John L. Morkovsky, the initiator and continuous spiritual leader of these annual festivities.

To commemorate Dr. J. L. Morkovsky's Silver Jubilee of Bishop's office celebrated in February last year and to bring forth the importance of the St. Cyril & Methodius Heritage days, this year festivities will start with a Polka Mass at St. Teresa Church, 6622 Haskell in Houston, Saturday 26th of June at 5:30 p.m. This Mass will be celebrated by Bishop John L. Morkovsky with singing by Czech Heritage singers of Houston and refreshments in the Parish Hall.

Twentieth Annual St. Cyril & Methodius Heritage Day Czech Polish - Ukrainian Festival will take place July 11th (2nd Sunday in July) in the modern, air conditioned KC Hall and on the surrounding grounds at 607 East Whitney Drive in North Houston. This festival consists of the religious part in the morning and of the cultural part in the afternoon. Morning activities will start at 9:30 a.m. with the procession of clergy, the youth from all three ethnic groups and Knights of Columbus. The holy mass will be celebrated in Czech by Bishop John L. Morkovsky from HoustonGalveston diocese with sermon in English language by a priest representing the Ukrainian group.

From 12 o'clock noon to 1 p.m.

KRFD Radio Station, Rosenberg will broadcast live the opening activities of the cultural program in the afternoon. First of all, everyone present will be welcomed by Maurice Hafernik, general chairman of St. Cyril & Methodius Heritage Society. Following will be a presentation of colors by 4th Degree K of C and singing of U.S., Czech, Polish and Ukrainian national anthems together with greetings from each group. Next on the agenda will be singing of Czech songs by Czech Heritage Singers followed by singing of combined Czech, Polish and Ukrainian choirs.

Rev. Stefan Wierma from San Antonio (representing the Polish Group) will deliver a short speech on the importance of Sts. Cyril & Methodius. After the speech there will be performances of Czech, Polish and Ukrainian groups in native costumes, contest for Queen of the Festival (Girl up to 18 years of age dressed in most beautiful national costume) and gymnastics of Sokol Houston.

Participating groups will be as follows: Abbott Beseda Dancers of Abbott, Texas - Czech dancing Choral Group of the Ukrainian Cultural Club of Houston - Ukrainian singing Ukrainian Dancers of Houston Ukrainian dancing Ukrainian Musical Ensemble - Ukrainian music Sokol Houston - Sokol gymnastics Abbott Beseda Dancers of Abbott, Texas - Czech dancing

Polanaise Heritage Singers of Houston - Polish singing KJZT (Catholic Union of Women, Texas) Juniors - Czech dancing KJZT (Catholic Union of Women, Texas) Juniors - Czech singing Polish National Alliance of Houston Polish dancing Presentation of the Heritage Day Queen & Princesses Each ethnic group will have a booth filled with its cultural novelties.

Parking and program is free; everyone is welcomed.

In addition to medication, doctors sometimes tell their patients to, exercise more, to lose weight, cut down on salt, and to stop smoking.

Some people think they can either follow this advice or take medication. But this usually isn't the case. The two types of therapies go together. If you adopt a healthier lifestyle, it will help the medication work more effectively.

Letter to the Editor Texas Department of Health Dear Sir, May is National High Blood Pressure Month. As a part of a nationwide focus on high blood pressure, the Texas Department of Health, Public Health Region 6, is sponsoring a series of news articles covering this important health concern. Please publish the following article as a public service announcement for the citizens in your area.

A Silent Killer Stalks Our Communities The "silent killer" strikes one out of every ten Americans, and if you are over 50, or black, your chance of being a victim of the "silent killer" is one in three. The "silent killer" has no symptoms — the only way to determine if you are a victim is to have your blood pressure checked.

May is high blood pressure month, a time for you to find out if you are a victim of the "silent killer."

Untreated high blood pressure -like a time-bomb — can eventually explode causing a heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure. It has been estimated that a successful campaign for the early detection and treatment of high blood pressure would avert about 200,000 deaths each year.

C. C. Eaves, M.D., Director, Public Health Region 6, refers to high blood pressure as a silent killer because it is not the direct cause of death — death results from the damaging effects of high blood pressure on blood vessels, the heart, and kidneys. Dr. Eaves says that the public is unaware, and in some cases unconcerned, that controlling high blood pressure is an important preventive measure that can significantly reduce these important causes of death.

FrOm the State Youth Director Dear Members: The 1982-1983 youth year is in full swing and activities are taking place throughout the state.

Districts I and IV YADs have taken place, with the other districts scheduled to take place over the next few weeks. Refer to the Youth Activities Calendar for date, time and place of these events.

Youth leaders who are preparing for District YADs, let me remind you to send YAD entry cards to your DYC with all of the correct information. Preparing for a YAD takes a lot of planning and organization. When you are prompt in sending in your entry cards with correct information you are helping your DYC a great deal. DYCs, you will help yourself a lot by referring to and using the YAD checklist given you at the recent retreat. There are too many details to trust to memory.

District VI will camp at Bastrop State Park from June 28 to July 1.

DYC Janet Marek's letter in last week's Vestnik gave a list of articles that each youth should take to camp.

PARENTS, please be sure your child/children have each of their articles labeled.

SPJST T-shirts are on sale for $4.50 each. There are two styles and four different colors. These are a better quality T-shirt that I'm sure everyone will like. I will have Tshirts, caps, pennants and SPJST patches for sale at camp.

Let me remind everyone attending camp of the guidelines President Morris published in the Vestnik. These are requirements of everyone attending camp. Our main objective is for everyone to follow rules and practice good safety habits. They are for your good.

Camp applications must be notarized and health forms filled out to accompany the camp applications.

This is for your child/children's protection. These forms enable us to seek medical attention if needed.

Everyone attending camp at Val Verde who will be taking an automobile is asked to park behind the dining hall after you have unloaded your luggage.

The following is the report from the last quarter of March, April and May 1982. The reports show an increase in the youths' attendance at their monthly meetings. This is encouraging. Keep up the good work!

Dear Youth Club Members: A few months ago it was decided that we would publish a craft, project, or an activity in the Vestnik for you to do to earn additional points. The word puzzle, for example, will not count until all words are found and circled.

These activities may be done individually or as a group activity within your youth clubs.

In order to earn points for these activities you may clip the article from the Vestnik and send it to the Supreme Lodge to the attention of Jann Wilson. Not all articles will earn points. For example, this month we have an SPJST Find-A-Word puzzle which will earn 15 pts., however, the poem "Springfeet" and the facts, "Did You Know ..." will not earn points.

If you do not have an extra Vestnik for the activity, you may copy (Xerox or by hand) the activity and send it in.

Does everyone have a pencil?

Ready, set, go!

Fraternally, Jann Wilson SYD

(Photos taken by SYD Jann Wilson — Editor) District IV YAD was held June 13, 1982 at the Senior Citizens Building in Seymour with a good attendance; due to the rain farmers could not work in the field. Harvest of wheat is about over but, due to the rains, cotton is still being planted.

Our youth members have worked very hard this year as you could see by the craft and talent entries that were presented. This was one of the best ever, so keep up the good work.

State Youth Director Jann Wilson and husband, Mike, were a great help. Jann did a fine job of taking our pictures for me; I always shake the camera! Thank you for all the help.

District IV Director Stanley Broz and wife, Martha, came to help us hand out all the monies that the youth won. Thank you, so much, for coming.

I couldn't do without my assistant and youth leaders, Henrietta Pavliska, Lillie Ptacek and Angeline Kristinek; also want to mention

Alice Orsak and Patricia Tomanek for helping with setting up the crafts and also the ladies who helped in the kitchen with the lunch.

Thanks to all!

We would like to thank our judges; namely, Ella Conner and Feonia Hostas in craft; Shirley Wirz, Dorothy McDonald and Patsy Sosolik in talent.

Henrietta Milan

Local Artist Noted For Gymnastic Art From The Lake Worth News, April 22, 1982.

Henrietta Milan is shown with two of her outstanding paintings of gymnasts. She is also noted for her delightful pictures of children and animals. She has won numerous awards at Texas shows and her paintings are owned by a notable list of prominent persons and hang in the Eagle Mountain Athletic Center, the United States Gymnastic Federation; Fort Worth, and the American Sokol Organization in Omaha, Nebraska.

Her "Painting of Swimmers" was used for the cover of the "Swimming World" magazine and "International Gymnast" magazine used her painting of an Olympic gymnast for a cover.

Henrietta Milan has lived in Texas since 1957, with her husband, Jerry, and sons, Rome and Talon.

Her coaching of gymnastics for 24 years with the Fort Worth Sokol organization has greatly influenced her work. She had a Gymnastic Art display at the Continental National Bank during the World Championships in 1979 and at the Hyatt Regency during the American Cup Championships in 1981.

The Milans are collectors of works of Czechoslovakian artists and sculptors and have a "Mini Museum" of Czech costumes, uniforms, medals, music, art and other items relating to Czechoslovakian history.

Ms. Milan retired last year from coaching and has had more time to devote to her painting and is planning to travel in July to Czechoslovakia to do more historical research of items relating to Alfons Mucha, Albin Polasek, Milan Med, Dvorak and Smetana.

By Marshall Buckner ROWENA -- Kolache?

To those who know, the word brings memories of luscious, yeasty sweet rolls, stuffed with such diverse fillings as pear, apricot, apple, pineapple, peach, prune, poppyseed, cottage cheese or a mixture of pecans, raisins and coconut.

Those who know get to Ballinger's Festival of Ethnic Cultures early the first day, before the Czech booth sells out of about 115 dozen of the famous, soft sticky pastries, all homemade.

They're made at Pat Tomlinson's home, near Lowake, where a half dozen or more women gather spend a day baking about 32 dozen kolache, which are then stored in various freezers throughout the community.

The available freezer space limits the number that can be baked.

"We're shooting for 200 dozen this year," Mrs. Tomlinson said, explaining that some additional space became available unexpectedly. She laughed as she recalled the turn of events.

It seems a neighbor's freezer stopped working, necessitating the purchase of a new one. The old one was moved out of the house, and just to see what would happen, the neighbor plugged it in It didn't run, so he kicked it — and it started.

Now it's being filled with kolache, the sale of which will benefit the Rowena lodge of the SPJST (Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas), a Czech fraternal organization.

The kolache baking starts at 5:30 a.m. By 10:30, the aroma wafts out past the Tornlinsons' gate, and the dining room table is covered with still warm pastries.

Boxes of cooled and wrapped kolache are stacked on and around the coffee table in the living room, while the kitchen table bears up under trays of unbaked dough and bowls of filling.

The 10 women bump elbows, joking and talking while they work.

"We're just playing," confides Minnie Pavlicek. Heads nod amid laughter.

But as Pauline Shiller points out, there is an old Czech saying: "Without work, there are no kolache."

Kolache, Miss Shiller explains, is the plural. One is a kolach. And, the Czechs call the topping posipka.

All of the women speak Czech except Isabel Weiss, who is German, and Mertis Hudson, who describes herself as "just plain old person."

They learned the language at home, from their parents. Several are the children of immigrants; others are grandchildren.

"I didn't know a word of English when I went to school," said Mary Dusek of Rowena. "My daddy studied history and learned English. He got his citizenship papers but my mother didn't.

"She refused to learn English. She said she wasn't going to break 'her tongue for nothing!"

That drew laughter from the other women, whose names are hard for English speakers to pronounce:

12/VESTNfK — Wednesday, June 30, 1982

Some of the ladies are in the process of making 210 dozen kolache for their lodge's project booth at the Ethnic Festival held in Ballinger recently. L to R: Lou Maracek, Pauline Shiller, Mary Dusek and Ol ga Jansa.

to the Sokol, a Czech gymnastics organization. The European Sokol became the Spartakiada after the communists took power in Chezoslovakia, she said.

The Sokol included folk dancing and physical exercise, as well as gymnastics.

For the dancing, men and women wore traditional costumes.

"They used to dance the Beseda, the Czech national dance," Miss Shiller said. "It's a real pretty dance."

The physical exercise demonstrations were also impressive, she noted, with "whole rows of people doing the exercises in unison."

While Miss Shiller was attending the University of Texas at Austin, she performed in Czech plays, which were staged in various towns by the students.

The Czech language, she added, is taught at the university today, and also in several institutions of higher education.

EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY -.oak Here we see some of the ladies admiring their hard work. L to R: Pat Tomlinson. Pauline Shiller. Mary Duseh, Lou Maracek, Olga Jansa and Emma Havlak.

Pictured are some of the large gross of kolache made by the Rowena ladies; they also baked 43 loaves of bread, and Sister Minnie Pavlicek made 3 dozen of homemade egg noodles. Everything was sold out Saturday by 3 p.m.; some of the people bought kolache by the dozens. The proceeds will go to the Rowena Lodge No 49 Building Fund. (Photos submitted by Sis. Martha Broz) Mrs. Dusek's sister, Emma Havlak of Lowake, and the other Rowena women, Julie Lisso, Olga Jansa, and Bernie Maracek.

Mrs. Pavlicek learned English in school too. She was the youngest of nine children.

Their parents came from Moravia as teenagers, "way back there," she said, laughing "My mother would have been 115 by nowt "My father came on a ship that was a sailboat. It took a month," she added. When her mother came a year later travel had improved. The voyage only took two weeks.

Mrs. Pavlicek's parents, the Sabrsulas, settled near Bastrop. She moved to Rowena after her marriage.

The Czech settlement in Rowena

is smaller than those in S./Cent. Tx., which may be one reason "they became more Americanized out here," Miss Shiller said. "In East Texas they continued the European customs, but not out here."

Rowena does have the only lodge hall in SPJST District 4 — which extends from San Angelo to Lubbock to Seymour, she pointed out.

Polka dances, of course, are still popular, she said, and Rowena boasts a regular polka club with a large membership, but other folk dances are pretty much forgotten.

Both Miss Shiller's grandfathers emigrated when they were 4 years old. Her father, a doctor, settled in Rowena in 1913.(Dr. J.J. Shiller - Ed) When she was growing up in Rowena, the young people belonged

We, the members of the Resolution Committee of Texaska Orlice Lodge No. 13, Dime Box, Texas on behalf of our entire membership, wish to extend our deepest and most sincere sympathy to the family of our departed lodge brother LOUIS J. KOCUREK, SR., of San Antonio, Texas, who died at the age of 75 at his home April 18, 1982, of a heart attack.

Brother Kocurek was an in vestment banker, civic leader and philanthropist. He was a founding partner of Dallas-based Rauscher Pierce Refsnes, Inc. and opened the corporation's San Antonio office during the early months of the firm's existence and helped build it into one of the state's largest financial corporations.

Mass for Brother Kocurek was celebrated Wednesday, April 21 at 10:30 a.m. in St. Peter Prince of the Apostles Catholic Church in San Antonio with entombment in the Holy Cross Mausoleum.

Mr. Kocurek and Miss Millie Matcek of Somerville, Texas, were united in marriage November 19, 1932.

Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Millie Kocurek, five children, and 21 grandchildren.

Brother Kocurek was the grandson of Tom Kocurek, charter member of our organized SPJST Lodge No 13 in 1897, and the son of J. L. Kocurek who was also very active in our lodge.

May our departed brother rest in eternal peace.

46th lesson. Perfective and imperfective verbs, prefixes.

In lesson 13 we hit upon the problem of perfective and imperfective verbs. Let's summarize: imperfective verbs a) the emphasize the course of the verbal action or its repetition, b) the perfective verbs present the action as a completed fact, emphasizing the result, consequence or product.

In form the perfective verbs differ from their imperfective counterparts a) by an altered stem: kupovat — koupft, davat — dat, hazet — hodit, or by a completely different stem: brat — vzit, or b) by taking a prefix: ueim se — nauefm se, vatim — uvatfm, opakuju — zopakuju, which is most frequent.

There are twenty prefixes in Czech and each of them carries an adverbial

meaning that is added to the meaning of the original imperfective verb.

Usually one of the prefixes has no other meaning but the perfective function (psat — napsat), but it differs from verb to verb.

There is a variety of adverbial meanings for every prefix. We shall start with a survey of elementary local meanings of some prefixes that can be clearly visualized if combined with the verbs of motion like jdu, jedu halm, letfm, plavu, nesu, vezu and also psat etc. pti-motion to some place, close to something or somebody: Ptinesl knihu. — He brought a book. Ptitel.

He came Ptipsal jedno slovo. — He added one word. od-the opposite: motion away from some place or person: Odnesl dopis na pottu. — He took the letter (away) to the post office. Odetel. — He left.

Odepsal. — He wrote back, replied. v(e)-motion inside, into: Vetel do pokoje. — He entered the room. Auto vjelo do lesa, do vody. Vepsal jedno slovo. — He inserted, inscribed, filled in one word. vy-the opposite: motion out: Vytel z pokoje. — He went out of the room.

Auto vyjelo z garate. Vypsal neco z knihy. — He wrote out, excerpted something from a book. vy-motion up, to sonle elevated place: Vytel na kopec. — He climbed the hill, ascended. Vynesl zavazadlo do 5. poschodf. He brought up the luggage. s-the opposite: motion down from some elevated place: Setli dolt1 na ulici. — They went down on the street. Snesla dite dole. — She carred the child down. roz-(se)-motion from one place to different direction: Rozetli se domil.

— They parted (everyone went to his own home), dispersed, scattered.

Listonot roznes1 dopisy. — The postman distributed the letters. s-(se)-the opposite: motion from different directions to one place: Seth jsme se v klubovne. — We met in a club room. Sepsal vtechny knihy.

— He made a list of all books. nad-motion up, above something: Nadepsal elanek. — He entitled (inscribed, headed) the article. pod-the opposite: motion down, below, under something: Auto podjelo pod mostem. — The car passed under the bridge. Podepsal dopis. — He signed the letter.

Mluvnice — Grammar 1. The Nominative and Accusative Cases: In Czech the nouns are declined according to their grammatical functions in the sentence. The nouns that have been listed in the vocabulary have been in the nominative case. The nominative is the case of the subject of the sentence or of the predicate nominative (after the verb "to be"). The nominative is also the case of a noun standing alone (unless in direct address, or understood as a part of an incomplete sentence).

The accusative case is the case of the direct object of transitive verbs.

It tells what person or object is directly affected by the action of the verb. It answers the questions: Whom? What?

The masculine inanimate and neuter hard nouns have the same form in the accusative as in the nominative.

The feminine nouns change the ending "a" to "u": Ex.: Masc. Inanimate Fem. kniha Nominative: kabat knihu Accusative: kablit

Apparently, some insurance companies assume bigness will be the key to their survival.

In our opinion, that's a faulty assumption.

Witness the dinosaur. Being big didn't save him. In fact, it probably hastened his demise.

For the dinosaur grew too large for his limited brain. As a result, signals took too long to get from one part of the body to another. In the end, he simply couldn't respond quickly enough to change.

The real issue — then and now — is flexibility. Adapting to a changing, often confusing, environment.
