Editor' COMMENTS

If you hold series E savings bonds that were bought during World War II, it may be time to dig them out and decide what to do with them.

Series E bonds reach final maturity 40 years after the original date of issue. You might be surprised to learn that a bond with a face value of $25 when it was bought in April of 1943 is worth $09.95 today. A $50 bond gives you $199.90. A $100 bond is now worth $399.80.

At final maturity, interest accumulation stops and all of the interest the bonds earned becomes taxable— whether or not they are cashed in.

The bank or paying agent is required to notify the Internal Revenue Service when it pays interest of $10 or more for savings bonds.

You can continue to defer taxes on interest earned for up to 10 years by exchanging your old E bonds for new HH bonds. You have a year to act. The interest earned on the E bonds is not due until the HH bonds are cashed.

HH interest is paid semiannually by check and is taxable.

Your old E bonds' interest is posted every six months. So don't redeem a bond even one day before the latest six-month period ends, or you'll lose half a year's interest. HH bonds pay 7% percent annual interest—and this is not subject to state or local taxes.

The denominations for i111 bonds are $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. But if your old E bonds and their accumula ted interest don't reach those figures, you can add other funds to make up the difference as long as the bonds exchanged have a redemption value of $500 or more If your old bonds don't add up to $500, buy a series EE bond large enough to make up the balance.

Then cash the EE bond after holding it for six months and combine it with your expiring E bonds for a $500 HIT bond.

PAYING TOO LITTLE OR TOO MUCH TAX. The Internal Revenue Service is lowering the annual interest rate it charges on underpayment of taxes and pays on overpayments. On July 1, the rate will decrease from 16 percent to 11 percent. Tax law requires IRS to adjust when the prime rate charged by banks during the six-month period ending March 31 differs from its existing rate.

By checking and adjusting tire pressures once a month and just before a long road trip, motorists can save 3 percent on their fuel bills, according to the Tire Industry Safety Council.

That amounts to a gain of up to 30 extra miles for every 1,000 miles you travel. *** CHILDREN'S DENTAL CARE. Parents who want to make sure their children's teeth grow straight and healthy should take matters into their own hands, according to the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. As soon as baby teeth begin to erupt, parents should begin wiping the infant's teeth with a wet

washcloth, cotton swab or a small toothbrush. Don't be surprised if your child lacks the manual dexterity or sense of responsibility to clean his or her own teeth properly before he or she reaches age 7 or 8. *** For a healthy lawn, it's important to keep your mower's blade set high enough to allow the grass roots to grow deep. John Deere & Company recommends that cool-season grasses, found in the northern part of the country, be mowed to a height of 2 to 2'/2 inches and cut again after the lawn grows an inch. Warm-season grasses in southern areas should be cut to a height of 1 to 2 inches and remowed when they reach to 2'/2 inches. *** With 12.5 million boaters on the water this spring, it's essential to know the basic courtesies of the water, notes the American Red Cross.

For example: When approaching a boat at a right angle, the boat on the right has the right-of-way. Rowboats have the right-of-way over sailboats or powerboats, and sailboats have it over powerboats. Boats being overtaken have the right-of-way over those passing them. ***

TCH and NEH Support Czech Symposium The Second Czech Symposium, "Czech Footprints Across the Bluebonnet Fields of Texas", has received a grant from the Texas Committee for the Humanities which is a state program of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The symposium will be held in Temple and nearby Seaton Memorial Day weekend, May 28-29, 1983.

Symposium Director, Albert J. Blaha, Sr., of Houston, has announced that these funds will enable the nclusion of more humanistic content in the symposium. Several humani ties scholars and researchers are scheduled to participate in various parts of the two-day program.

Also, these funds will help the symposium to reach the largest audience possible by making registration and reprints costs as low as possible.

This TCH-NEH support is in addition to the previously announced support from several Czechfounded organizations which are CESAT —MATICE, SPJST, RVOS, and KJT. Blaha stated that additional financial support from the Czech societies and individuals was expected and would be welcomed.

Since TCH-NEH grants require matching of effort from the sponsoring agency, there are many other groups and individuals who are supporting the symposium by their contributions of time and services.

Dr. Clinton Machann, an Associate Professor of English at Texas A&M University, is Humanities Advisor for the symposium. He was director for the First Czech Symposium which was held in Temple in October, 1978.

Dr. Machann defined the humanities as "those branches of knowledge concerned with man and (Continued on Page 15)

Turn To SPJST Channel No. 88 For An English Play On May 22nd!

A tattletale brat, Essie Ebersole, lives next door to Aunt Abby and she tells Abby her observations of Anna and her friend Lillian's actions as they receive letters from their "fellows". Essie is played by Millie Manack, a newcomer to our stage, and Lillian is played by Susan Schenburn, seen several times before. Both of these ladies are well suited for their parts.

Don't forget to join us at Lodge No. 88 May 22nd, at 2 p.m. when the Hlahol Dramatic Club presents "Aunt Abby Answers an Ad".

Publicity Committee Marceil Malak Millie Manack -SPJSTLodge

No. 88 News

Our lodge meeting held Monday, April 18 had a very nice attendance.

Satisfactory reports were given by all the committees. Four wedding anniversaries were announced: Thomas and Clara Jecmenek, 58 years; Franklin and Almeda Bravenec, 46 years; Mark and Cindy Wheeler, 2 years; and Jimmie and Bernice Wahlberg, 31 years (they donated the refreshments after the meeting.) Thanks, Jimmie and Bernice! "Happy Birthday" song rang out from the assembly to all the birthday celebrants for April.

On the sick list reported were Bernice Wahlberg in Northwest Hospital after surgery and Lillie Spies, our Birthday Club treasurer, reported under the weather with a severe cold.

District V fall meeting was announced by District V President Tillie Helmcamp for Sunday, October 9, 1983 to be held at Lodge No. 88; further information for this meeting with different plans will be announced later.

Wednesday, April 20 was a busy place early in the morning at the lodge with brothers replacing bad ceiling tiles through the whole building; on hand were Royal Warnasch, Ed Miculka, Henry Kite, Joe Miksch, Leander Pflughaupt, Mike Trefell, George Taake and Alvin Raymond. These men worked all day until late in the afternoon; we are very lucky to have willing brothers to extend their service for the benefit of all concerned.

At the regular Thursday night social we missed Mary Ann and Joe Wagner and Christene Malony at their regular places, but later we found them in the famous Blue Room entertaining friends, Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Lange of Chicago, Illinois.

Their guests arrived Tuesday, April 26th and departed April 30th. They were house guests of Joe and Mary Ann Wagner. Next Thursday they all will be in their regular places, again.

Brother Joe Prazak, after a 10-day stay in the VA Hospital in September, re-entered the hospital in March to have another surgery on his hip.

Joe is at home now recuperating; we all wish you well!

Past President Mildred Holeman of Lodge 88 was confined in Heights Hospital over a week with a heart

condition and she is at home; getwell, Mildred.

Sister Harriette Allison, member of the Memorial Fund Committee, met with a freak accident while at home and broke her wrist. Bob Allbritton, by sheer coincidence, happened to come by and helped her to go to the emergency.

Sister Annie Vala who serves on the Entertainment Committee and is the food chairman, also met with a freak accident coming home from the lodge and hurt her hip; lucky it is not a break, but will take some time to heal. Annie is in charge of serving breakfast after Saturday night dances; but, now the kitchen will be closed, until? Get-well, we need you!

Sister Effie Hurska, mother of Doris Darilek, had to be rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital Thursday, March 31 with a congestive heart failure and was confined in intensive care for four days before being placed in her room for two more weeks and released to go home, but to take it easy. Doris, her daughter and husband, Louis Darilek, are both serving on the Entertainment Committee.

To all these ailing members we wish a speedy recovery.

Our lodge's Cleanup Day held Saturday, April 30 turned out nicely. It rained a little and ruined it for the outside workers but Louis Hanus, in charge with his volunteers, accomplished a lot even at that. Members were arriving as early as 7 a.m. and, by 8 a.m., almost all 130 present were at work with Johnnie Broz assigning the area to work at. The place was as alive as a beehive and everyone doing the best job possible; by 1 p.m., the premises looked spick and span, as a reward, -tile workers were awarded with a delicious fried-chicken dinner and refreshments of their choice. Of course, the dinner was taken care of

by Board Member John Hilsher.

The dance held Saturday, April 23 had a fair attendance with music by the Knights of Dixie. In charge of the evening was Irene Slovacek; Mary Schenburn served in the ticket office, Kathy Trefell with Louis Hanus seated the guests, and Doris Darilek greeted the arriving guests.

The advance ticket sale for the Al Pierson Dance for Mary 28th was in charge of Erma O'Conner in the lobby. The five sisters, as usual, were dressed according to the dance dress code that evening and looked lovely.

The Jan Garber Dance held Saturday, April 30, with ballroom music, entertained a packed house; the Chandelier Ballroom sparkled with lovely dressed ladies and some men in tuxedos. In charge of the evening was Marie Spaulding dressed in a pink chiffon gown. At the door greeting the arriving guests was Gladys Pulley in a beaded beige gown; her husband, Dub, with Pappy Spaulding and Kathy Trefell (in a white and blue gown) were directing the guests to their tables. Irene Slovacek dressed in hot pink and Erma O'Conner in a mauve gown, were busy taking reservations for the Al Pierson Dance scheduled for Saturday, May 28th. THIS WILL ALSO BE A GALA AFFAIR WITH A DANCE DRESS CODE RULE. Get your reservations by calling 8695767 at the lodge office. During the evening I had a glimpse of Raymond Zapletal of Ennis, Texas and his wife

and daughter but lost them and did not find them at all, anymore; hope you had a good time.

Sunday, May 1st our annual Blue Room Party was held with a slim attendance; about 250 guests, but everyone had a wonderful time. The music by Ray Jurecka, as usual, was very good and refreshments were served from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. and barbecued chicken and sausage with all the trimmings was very good, served for dinner and seconds if anyone desired. At, this party, Alvin and Janet Raymond entertained friends, Mr. and Mrs. John and Sophie McClosky of Navasota, Texas; they live on the ranch and enjoy life with six beautiful daughters (four are married).

At their table Viola and Harley Cox entertained Mr. and Mrs. Dale and Beverly Polekowsky, owners of the Northwest Hardware. They have one son and a daughter; among the guests attending were Bernie and Enos Wessels, Bill and Margie Grissom, Herb and Shelly Emmons.

Pearl Hanka entertained friends Arnold Cmajdalka of Rosenberg, Texas; Arnold's sister, Sydonia and her husband, Carl Benton, of Houston, at her table; they are SPJST members in Lodge No. 1 at Fayetteville, Texas.

Mira and Elizabeth Bily entertained their cousin, Jirina Tabakova, of Czechoslovakia. Jirina arrived April 14 and will remain five more weeks before she will have to go back home. She is enjoying her visit with her cousins very much. Mira and Elizabeth are showing her life in America; not only city life but all the surrounding Czech communities and life in general. We were glad to have you!

We bow our heads in sorrow in the passing away of a young man in the prime of his life of 23 years; Robert A. Jaksch was accidently killed in an auto accident coming home from bowling Saturday, April 30, 1983. Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 3 in the Prince of Peace Catholic Church with Rev. Al Dogo officiating; interment was in Forest Park Cemetery.

Wake services were held at 7:30 p.m.

Monday in Klein's Funeral Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Houston Chapter of National Foundation for Ileitis and Colitis, Inc. Survivors include his parents, Royce and Marilyn Jaksch; two brothers, Joe and Carl Jaksch; grandparents, Herbert and Emma Jarisch. We express our sincere sympathy to the family.

It is almost a week since we all are back from the magic city of Las Vegas, not richer but wiser. Thirtyone brave souls, with good intentions to make the best of our visit of four days and three nights in this city of opportunity, but we learned quite fast that these one-armed bandits don't give anything very easily. Speaking for myself, I played everything in the casino, once in a while a few coins would drop, but most of the time I was just feeding them without any results; in other words, I was desperate; as many times as I went, I never have played such bad luck. My favorite game, Black .;ack, the cards constantly showed 12 and 13; the dealer would show a measely "2" and would4draw out on me with all little cards and make 20 or 21. So, I quit and started the machines $1, 50e, 25e and finally

5; if they had penny machines I would have tried those, so I turned to Kino and Bingo; it all came out the same. Finally, I realized I can't win by losing three hands and winning one. The last night was the first time I played four and a half-hours without losing; I was getting too tired because it was early in the morning and next day, we were ready to leave, 'I sat down and played about 45 minutes and, finally, I won some but that was too late because we were ready to leave for the airport.

We checked in the Aladdin Casino and I never left the premises; all the others of our party spread out to town or other casinos on the strip. I never asked them how they fared because their faces registered their mood. I am sure some won big pots but that doesn't mean anything if you don't bring it home with you. I am sure two in our party did win and brought a bundle home with them.

In the long-run we all enjoyed it and had fun, too. Another trip is planned for later in the year. Millie Manack organized this trip with a very good deal and we are ready to take a chance, again, but I heard we will stay in town this time. Thanks, Millie, for all the work you've done.

While there Harry and Millie Wheeler looked me up and we had a nice visit; the two were taking a trip touring the states reminding me to convey greetings to their dance companions at Lodge 88, so I delivered the message to Lee and Elois Flores at the Jan Garber Dance held Saturday night.

I'm reminding you of the English Play to be presented Sunday, May 22 at 2 p.m. Dinner will be available in our dining room, so come from church and enjoy your dinner and play and have a nice Sunday listening to "AUNT ABBY ANSWERS AN AD" that will keep you in stitches.

News From Lodge 172 Pasadena Brothers and Sisters: Good Morning and Hello from Brother John T. and Sister Esther Mikeska!

I am at home now recuperating from a dangerous stroke that; I had March 31st which was a bad experience with two weeks in the East Memorial Hospital on Belfort Avenue in Houston, Texas.

I came home for the weekend to attend our covered dish dinner and other activities, but my doctor ordered me not to do any dancing; I had to sit and tap my feet t o the popular country/western music by Neal Hart. We had a very nice turnout at our dinner and dance. Thanks to all of you who came out to have an enjoyable time, even I enjoyed it by being among so many people, instead of staring at all the walls in the hospital.

I received five vases of live flowers from various fraternal lodges and my employer I work for, also from the brothers and sisters from Lodge 172, KJT, K.C., plus Rev. Thomas Sheely, and Saint Christopher Parish.

On a Monday I was admitted to St. Luke's Hospital for Tuesday's surgery and I came out of it with flying colors under the good supervision of Dr. Grady L. Hallman. With all the good care in the hospital, good blessings and prayers by many of you, our Almighty has heard them all.

Thanks to all of you and God bless each of you. I had visitors (including priests) every day to comfort me, visits from the doctors and nursing staff who were all very nice to me.

Unknown to me while in the hospital I learned that our Lodge 172 past president Brother Victor Peter was also in the same hospital. My wife, Esther and daughter, Margie Berry along with her husband went to see him. I understand he was seriously ill, however, he is at home recuperating now.

Let me suggest to you cigarette Dear

smokersile stop smoking; my doctor also advised me to stop smoking which I did 6 weeks ago and I alAo can have diet drinks.

We were getting ready for Czech Fest for May 6 through 8 in Rosenberg, Texas and our Texas Polka Club Dance May 84with music by Lee Roy Matocha from Fayetteville, Texas at the American Legion Hall near the fair-grounds. Everyone was invited to wear their Czech costumes or Texas Polka Club vests to show what fraternal lodges you belong to and to show the out-of-state visitors that we are proud to be Texas-Czechs.

While I was sick, I had Pasadena, Texas on my mind a lot, but what can you do when you are under doctor's care; you have to obey and respect a doctor's orders; also, while I was confined in the hospital, there were many things going on in Pasadena which I had to miss. Presently, I am doing nicely at home with my dear wife, Esther, who is a retired LVN. Thanks to her for her good care. God bless her for she is really nice to me.

Before I return to work, I will let the doctor decide on my condition.

God bless you all and may peace be with everyone!

At Lodge 183, Mid-Cities Activities

Dear Members: All you members remember the next dance Saturday, May 15; the music will be by the Lone Star Express (country/western); no cover charge for this dance. You better make plans to attend this one, because, when the lodge starts having dances at the new hall, the Entertainment Committee said that there probably will be a cover charge; come on out and bring your friends because this may be your last chance to go to a free dance at the lodge for a while; beer and setups available at the bar, so BYOB! The next lodge meeting will be Sunday, May 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the lodge hall and all the members need to be there to hear about the progress on the new lodge; with all you members working together the lodge can be the GREATEST! Members, remember that the lodge hall is available for rentals for birthdays, anniversaries or just having fun, soon you will be able to rent the new lodge hall so make your plans and call Lambert Pustejovsky (817) 275-0647.

The new hall is located in the Golden West Business Park on Pleasant Valley Lane in Arlington. There will be more about the new hall as the

interior is completed. Also plan for the Grand Opening in July, call Daniel Roznovsky (214) 252-6763 or Lambert Pustejovsky (817) 275-0647, if you have any suggestions or if you need more information.

If anyone would like to learn Czech there will be a class starting in June at University of Texas at Arlington taught by Jirina (Irina) Pancarova.

There will be more about this as soon as I can get more information or you may call Irina at (817) 265-9829 or write her; her address is 1306 S. West Street, Arlington, TX 76010.

Gracie would like to thank all the members of KJT since she won the meat smoker at the drawing held at their dance two weeks ago. We were unable to make it because of Gracie's foot surgery, but we put the smoker to good use this weekend and barbecued some steaks. Gracie and her children (also grandchildren) were all at her place at Cedar Creek Lake so we called Mother's Day one week earlier.

We just heard that Bennie Mae and Lambert's daughter broke her ankle doing aerobic dancing, so be careful when you go dancing now; someone may want to put a warning on it as they do cigarette packages, "It can be injurious to your health!"

Keep Smiling!

Fraternally, Norman M. Kneschk, Reporter —SPJST-

After Returning From Switzerland

by Naomi and Arnold Spencer After two previous trips to beautiful Switzerland, we decided to make one more trip and cover areas which we failed to make before.

Most of our traveling was done on the trains which operate on a strict time schedule. And the very nice part of this is the fact that if you are slightly late for one train, another train to the same destination follows in an hour.

Another item which we took advantage of was the SWISS HOLIDAY CARD which entitles you to any destination by rail, bus or boat. We enjoyed all these privileges. Just by way of comparison, we found large cities like Zurich a little exhausting in that the streets are not smooth to walk on. Of course, there are some walkable areas but as a general rule you still find the cobblestone streets. Automobile traffic is somewhat disturbing, but once you learn to cross the streets in designated yellow strip areas, the pedestrian has the right of way. One of the unusual means of transportation in cities like Lugatr.

is the cable car. That is the only way you get from the railroad station into the city. We thought this was very strange until we noticed cable cars were used from the street levels to mountain tops, something like 15,000 ft. We wondered how people managed to come and go to work, but, surprisingly, this is the way.

Out of Lucern, we took a bus part of the way, walked uphill part of the way before we took a chair lift to Mt. Pilatus, miles above the city. Regardless, once you have reached the top, even overlooking the clouds, you will find a warm and wellorganized restaurant to refresh yourself. One of the most peaceful cities was Engleberg which is not far from Lucern, but the ride over the mountain slopes is breathtaking. A cogwheel systems is used for this ride, and it moves very slowly and cautiously. We found two hotels very close to the rail station overlooking the snow-covered mountains and ski areas. We spent restful moments taking in the sights.

The city of Interlocken also took us by surprise. Smooth sidewalk areas were found to be conducive to make shopping a pleasure. The hotel accommodations were excellent, and we were told that there is no problem to find accommodations at this time of the year. Later on, after May until September, this might be a problem. We made this city our stopover point and remained four days. During this time, we took a train to Grindelwald where we were surprised to hear that the longest cable car in the world is here. Eventhough the mountains were covered with snow, it was very warm. There was no need for an overcoat; in fact, ski groups coming down from the slopes rested and took time to bask in the sun in apparel suitable for our beaches in the states.

Another thrilling trip was to the city of Montreux, not too far from the city of Lousanne on Lake Geneva. As the train makes the downhill run, one is impressed by the acres and acres of vineyards.

Incidentally, we learned that this is where the best wines of Switzerland come from. Not only do you find vineyards so well-organized, but it seems that somehow every dweller must have a garden, sometimes very small but it is productive and well cared for. Since there are 900,000 cows in this country, there is no shortage of milk and cheese. And as by-products, the bakery shops are always packed with fresh pastries and rolls. It would take another solid page to describe the pastry displays, but they are very tempting and delicious. I could go on and on, but not now. What do you think!

Arnold wishes to add that he wonders how long one can live on Swiss wines, but he is sure you can do it for two weeks because he did!

age, and Michael Landin in 10-12 age.

February 19th, a monthly meeting was held from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., followed by a movie at the Northwest Branch Library. We saw three films: "Houdini Never Died," "Pop-Eye Meets Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," and "Mighty Mouse and the Quarterback Kid." Everyone enjoyed seeing the films.

March 5th, a bake sale was held at Model Market. Money earned from this project will go towards the trip to San Antonio, June 2nd.

Monthly meeting was held March 26th. Meeting was brief so that the youth clubbers could get started in making the Easter baskets. H.E.B. Super Market donated the small baskets that are used in packing strawberries. There were 18 youth club members and four adults busy decorating the baskets with assorted ribbon, pipe cleaners, and artificial grass. The baskets were filled with Easter goodies. The next day, being Palm Sunday, Mrs. Marek and I delivered the gaylydecorated baskets to Westwood Manor Nursing Home. Todd Ellzey, president of the youth club, also came to help us distribute the baskets to the elderly residents. We also helped the live-ins to play bingo because most of them needed help.

A clothing drive was also made the 26th; this collection was made to the Corpus Christi State School.

April 10th, at the District VII meeting, the club had a booth; proceeds will be used on a district outing which will be June 18th.

Regular monthly meeting was held April 23rd. At this meeting I had the youth clubbers work the April Vestnik Project, followed by a movie trip.

Sunday, April 24th, a trip to Hazel Bazemore Park on the Nueces River was planned. The weather cooperated, it was a beautiful afternoon. There were 20 young people and 7 adults who enjoyed the trail walks. The young people were all over the park exploring every trail and gully. In the evening hot dogs were barbecued on a grill; cold drinks were refreshing; • cookies, candy, chips were also served. All present agreed that we must do this again. I want to thank everyone who helped in serving the food.

Our next project is a bake sale for May 7th, the day before Mother's Day. Youth Clubbers were asked to bring 2 pies, cake or cookies.

Proceeds will go for expenses of going to camp July 26th-30th.

I also am reminding the members of Lodge 117 that the adult meeting Will be held June 26th at Jackson Woods Swim Club.

Jedna mlada iena 23. 'eta ve stau Illinois byla nalezena, ye svern byte a ze byla studena, bezdechu a nemela tad** puls, tedy byla vzata do mista kde se konaji pitvy, jelikot mysleli,ze je mrtva. Ale pak najednou policista a ztizenec, ktery kona pitvu uvideli, ze se pohnula na krku. Talc ji vzali do nemocnice a tam ji ptivedli k tivotu.

Lekat tekl, ze vk se asi stain, kdy device vzalo nejaky drog a pti torn vypila alkohol. Devee je nyni zle,ze by ji byli pitvali ac byla tiva, a chce aby naptf§te se venovalo vice opatrnosti v takovern ptipade, a dosti motina ie bude talovat—i kdyt si to ptivodila na sebe samotna, tie ano?

Jista. pi. Blackstock v Denton okresu mivala opatrovnu pro psy, ale byly minuly tyden v§ech zvitat druhu "Pekingese" ktere opatrovala vzatf jelikot bylo ji dokazano, ze v§ichni psi meli kotrif a oeni vyralku a nektetf pry ani nedostali dost potravin a byli nernocnf. Tedy jednoho psika ktereho mela sveho jit 8 let si mohla ponechat ale cely rok nesmf brat jine psy do opatrovanf a musi sve mist° driet v eistote.

Nejaci darebaci meli na kohosi zlost ktery bydlel v apartmentnf budove v Oak Cliff sekci a tak hodili holler bombu do okna ktere rozbili a ohen zapalil a hned v§e hotelo. Pry 66 lidf muselo uteci aby se zachranili a skoro v§echen svilj majetek ztratili.

Je§te jeden °hen byl zaloten zase jinde a tam tet byly ztraty. Jeste ze tadny neptikl o tivot. Na televizi ukazovali jednu star§f panf, ktera plakala, te ztratila v§e co mela a te nevi co bude Mat.

Jeden ten kiln byl belgicke race a mel pry cenu ptes tti tisfce dolarfi. Nyni se para po pachatelych a bylo by jiste tteba aby je na§li, nebot' je to strake tak bezbranne zvite tryznit.

Take jsem obdrtela dopis, ktery me ptekvapil ai z Kalifornie od jisteho krajana jmenem Haskovec. Dle dopisu asi jeho dedeeek a moje babieka Noskova byli bratranci, nebot' ona byla tet Haskovcova ze Senoiat.

On pry je tu jen tri roky z Prahy a je mu pry velmi smutno ponevadi nikoho nezna a tam co je, tak Ce§i pry nejsou. Tak jsem mu odepsala, ze by mel byt v na§em Texasu a util by seznameni s krajany.

Ueme se eesky Let Us Study Czech!

Lekce sedmnactd, — Lesson 17 Forming plurals — Mnoine eislo

The nominative plural of masculine animate nouns has, for both hard and soft stems, the ending i, which softens the hard consonants before it. had — hadi vojak vojaci eert — eerti Cech — eeSi pan — pani doktor — doktofi There are 2 other endings for animate masculine nouns in the nom. pl.

— ov-e — personal names, such as Vaclavove, which means several people with the name Vaclay. Other examples: Ital — Italove Cech — either Srh — Srbove CeSi or (one syllable names) Cechove pan i)iinove I Poliiei syn — sy am, e and Mad'ar — elen — elenove Mad'afi biskup biskupove filosof filosofove There is much fluctuation in the usage of the plural i and ove. Perhaps one rule of thumb to follow is to use the ove form when speaking and writing formally.

All nouns ending in — tel, denoting office, position, or occupation, are made plural by the simple addition of é. Examples: ueitel — ueitele pohan — pohani stavitel — stavitele andel — andele °bean — obeane host — hoste krajan — krajane zid — tide American — soused — souse& Americana elovek — lide Slovan Slovane mantel — (exception: mantelove German, Germani (Nouns ending in — ista): houslista — housliste .. achista — §achiste pianista — pianist& pfitel — pfatele There are a number of nouns that usually go in pairs, such as ntitly, bryle, etc., somewhat like our words, sheep, deer, etc. There is no singular form for these words. Examples: penfze noviny S'aty kalhoty housle kl&Ste nritky rodiee dvefe bryle hodiny Proper names, places, countries, etc.: Cechy Marianske Lazne Teplice Karlovy Vary Feasts: Vanoce Velikonoce narozeniny jmeniny

Write the nominative plural of these words: bratr c"hlapec sestra pfitel kupec American soused houslista Form sentences of your own with the plural of these words: Robert vojak ueitel filosof stavitel Cech pan obean host syn Glen soused mantel Pronounce all the words OUT LOUD. Be sure and look up all words you don't know the meaning of.

Translate the sentence you write in Czech into English.

He contrasted the humanities with "pure" arts, in terms of skills, and "pure" sciences which are not primarily concerned with human values and therefore normally are not considerd humanities.

"Since the concept of history can include the development and changes in the culture of groups, then one might consider history to be the most basic humanity", Machann said.

Although there is much current interest in the family history aspect of genealogy, it will be the task of the humanities scholars to draw attention to the themes and issues which are broader in scope.

Some of these themes and issues relate to language, folklore, traditions, religion, organizations, traits, values, assimilation, and the future of Czechs in Texas and elsewhere in the Americas.

This symposium was inspired by the 1978 symposium "Czechs in Texas". That project also was funded by the TCH-NEH and "gen erated an interest which is still alive in the Texas Czech community today," Machann said.

Ace Chlapek of Temple is the Chairman of the Arrangements Committee for the Second Czech Symposium. Persons desiring more information concerning the symposium should write to Mr. Chlapek at 104 West Killen Lane, Temple, Texas 76501.
