CURRENT ACTIVITY OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

their orders for the book. It is anticipated that the planned publication date of the book will be sometime in early 1984.

This was something mandated in the 1976 Convention and which'had been talked about for about forty years previous to that. Two' or three individuals down through the years attempted to complete a history but gave it up for one reason or another.

Now that this is an accomplished fact, we would hope that our own members and lodges would be supportive of the effort and interested in owning a copy. Remember, the more we order the cheaper the book will be.

Fraternally, Nick A. Morris President ***

Dear Members: The orders for copies of the contemplated book on the History of the SPJST are coming in rather slowly.

I cannot believe that those lodges that appointed historians to research their lodge history are not now interested in receiving the completed work, which includes their lodge's history and a lot of other information that was very carefully researched over a long period of time. It is anticipated that the book will contain approximately 350 pages, including pictures of convention sites, lodge buildings, lodge officers, historical places, and pictures of individuals. The Table of Contents below gives you a good TABLE OF CONTENTS idea of the subject material covered and the scope of the information.

Czech Day, October 16th, Dallas State Fair Why do we have a CzechDay each year at the State Fair? Well, for one thing, it's to perpetuate the customs, music, songs, dances, speech, dress and ideas of our fore­ fathers and mothers. Polka, waltz, light classical, and symphonicmusic, written by Czechs of this country or in Europe, is heard throughout Texas as well as the U.S. The songs are heard at dances, on radio pro­ grams and at state productions. In Texas, the Czechs command the third most populous group of people, which indicates there is a large num­ ber of Texans with "Czech" blood in their veins. Many publications in Czech are printed in Texas, indicat­ ing a wide readership in Texas and the other states. High schools, col­ leges and night schools offer Czech language courses which are increas­ ing in number, both in classes and students.

What does the Czech Day accom­ plish? It rekindles the hearts of the adults, when they hear and see the various presentations; reminding them of their youth, old friends and "good old times." Those on the pro­ grams show how well they can dance, sing, tumble, perform gymnastics and parade in their na­ tive costumes.

Finally, pride is shown by everyone in attendance. Of course, all aren't Czechs, as many are spouses to Czechs, many"arefriends and others have become ardent fol­ lowers through participation at var­ ious Czechfunctions.

At a later date, with the permis­ sion of the SPJST in authorizing·the printing of the 42nd Czech Day pro­ gram in the Vestnik, the readers will be able to evaluate the marvelous program arranged by the Czech Cul­ tural Society.

Everyone is invited to attend, be­ ginning with the Czech Mass at 8:30 a.m. followed by the program through 6 p.m, Later, in the evening, a parade is sponsored by the State Fair, "Topped Off' by a spectacular fireworks display.

By the way, how many of you have had the opportunity to see the Czech Folk Dancers of West, under the direction of Maggie Grmela, recently? Their spirited renditions of the Beseda, other folk dances and "Texas Czech"dances are a pleasure to watch.' Don't miss the chance of seeing them on their travels to lodge

gatherings, festivals, etc. They can man, oldest woman, youngest child, highlight any celebration at which eoupole married the longest and they perform.

YOUTH SECTION Head of the Youth Department STATE COMPETITION-1983 State Royalty—Saturday, September 17th, hosted by Lodge No. 18, Elgin; music by Bubba Cox & Easy Goin' of Austin ***

STATE YAD-1984 Next year's date for the State YAD, including Royalty, has been set for Sunday, August 19th. Everyone is reminded that Royalty will take place immediately following all the other competition at State YAD. We are going to do this on a trial basis for 1984 and see what the

general reaction is. We will most likely start the day's activities at 10:30 in the morning, take an hour for lunch break and resume early in the afternoon. If everything goes well, we can still finish by 5 or so in the afternoon. Please plan accord ingly.

Those in attendance at the recent State YAD in Temple will remember that I stated that next year's State YAD would most likely be held a week earlier. That was our intention and that may still actually happen, however, if we moved it back a week it would fall too close to the end of camps and with all the planning that needs to go into that day, we simply would not have enough time.

Furthermore, with a new State Youth Director and the hundreds of details involved, we will need all the slack time that we can get. —NAM, President of the Supreme Lodge. ***

(Continued from Page 1) much that I can't keep up with them anymore," she says.

Ora Wollam moved here from Conroe in 1911, when Danbury had only a couple of dirt roads connecting it to the rest of the world.

"The town looked pretty much like it does now. But we had more freedom, better times. We made our own entertainment," says Wollam, 88. "We rounded up cattle, rode horses bareback and on Saturday nights we danced till dawn."

On Sunday afternoon, the townspeople played baseball.

Their ballpark was an abandoned World War I landing field that has been turned into a high-priced residential area. The Wollams and the Pattersons of Angleton were the teams to beat, says Wollam, but both teams were out to get the Freeport Sulfur Company team.

"They paid their people to play ball. We didn't. We were just a bunch of poor boys.

"The Sunday games died out," says Wollam, "the same way the Pattersons did. They played ball until they got so old they couldn't play anymore."

But baseball remains a major event in Danbury, says Bogena, 65, a former city councilman. Residents follow their Little League and girls' softball.

The townspeople still provide their own entertainment, except that Vrazel's Ballroom, the main Saturday night hangout, that once housed Bohemian bands now serves up a mixture of country-western and rock'n'roll.

"That's where most of the youngsters go. Some of us older folks go to the Fire Department bingo night once a month," says Bogena. "And we have our booster clubs and barbecues."

Those barbecues often are held in Skrabanek Park in downtown Danbury, by the city's only traffic light.

The park is named after Joe Skrabanek, the farmer and rancher who moved to Danbury during World War I and who donated the park land to the city.

The Danbury Hotel preceded the park, but was torn down in 1938, Wollam says. This and the recently opened high school are perhaps the most significant developments in Danbury's history.

Danbury has always been a bedroom community, says Bogena.

Since the 1950's, when the village incorporated into a city, Danbury has been supported through property taxes levied mostly on homes.

Many residents now work at nearby chemical plants. Before the plants were built, says Wollam, Danbury was the home of farmers and ranchers.

A cabinet factory was at one time within city limits, but moved to a location just outside Danbury, says Bogena. A fish farm and a grass farm are also near city limits.

Despite the growth, says Mrs. Kuchar, manager of the city's only restaurant, Danbury remains a friendly city, where neighbors know of each other's problems and don't hesitate to help.

"If someone passes away, for example, neighbors bring gobs of food to the relatives' home."

Jacko Garrett, a rice farmer and a school board trustee, agrees; "We have a fellow here whose wife had major surgery. He couldn't afford it, so the whole community got together, put on a barbecue and dance and raised $12,000.".

Garrett has been farming in Danbury since 1938. "Who'd want to move to the city?" he asks. "This is the life — country living. City life can't compare to this."

Danbury remains relaxed and laid-back, says Garrett, even though the city, compared to the olden days, is bursting at the seams.

FEATURES

WHEN FAMILIES LIVE IN SMALL BUILDINGS.— The above photo shows a family of eight (8), that, like others, lived in a small dwelling, shown in the photo. This is the family of Thomas Dvorak who had arrived here from Europe

about 1910. Note the windows in the upper part of the dwelling which provided air and light for the upstairs which was used as sleeping quarters for part of the family. Horses and donkeys provided the means of transportation.

The location was in the Middle Bernard community, some five miles northwest of East Bernard. This was the type of dwelling that was common in the early 1900's, in the East Bernard area (Courtesy East Bernard Tribune, Halletsville, Texas)

Life of the Dvorak Family 1910-1983 This picture appeared in the East Bernard Tribune, published in Hallettsville, Texas. Once I mentioned in my weekly newsletter about this picture given to me by friend Joe Prazak, a native of East Bernard and now a Houstonian and subscriber of the Hallettsville Tribune. At that time I said, one day I will share my and my family's life in America with whoever will read it.

At the time Joe Prazak gave me the newspaper with our picture in it, it came as a complete surprise, because I, nor my brother, Frank, had any recollection of this picture to be around anywhere. After seeing this picture, I feel I would like to share the early years of my family's immigration to the United States of America, but, before I will continue, I will introduce you to the members of my family in this picture from'left to right.

Frank (age 13), on his favorite mare, Vlada, the eldest (age 17), seated mother (age 36), Rudolf, the youngest (age 6), Frances (age 11), father Thomas Dvorak (age 43), John (age 16), and Josef (Joe) (age 9) on the pride of the boys, their favorite donkey.

Both of our parents were born in Czechoslovakia at that time under the rule of Austria-Hungary. Father was born in Vesna, Moravia and mother in Polna, Czechie. Just as

many other young people, so did our parents come to Vienna, Austria to seek employment and future happiness; during that time they met and married. Father was employed as a machine operator in the Urban Factory and also repaired shoes for the family and friends in his leisure time, at night and many times on Sunday; this helped financially. It also came in handy at Christmas time when all Urban employees, with school-age children, received (for each child in school) a complete outfit of clothing consisting of a suit, overcoat, shoes, stockings, shirt, cap and gloves, including a large box of candy and fruit to decorate the Christmas tree.

At one time, there were four of us in school and this helped my parents very much. Mother worked hard all her life; she took in washing and ironing. The washing was done during the night while father was at home and could bring the infant (whichever one it was at that time), take the baby down to the washrooM in the cellar to be nursed by mother and be taken back upstairs to the apartment and in the morning go to work. During the day mother would take over to look after the children to be sent to school and Rudy would be the only one at home with her while she was finishing the ironing and delivering it to her customers. I helped her many times to carry the baskets of ironed clothes.

My parents decided to make this drastic move to uproot the family in May 1910 after corresponding several years with a friend, Mr. Seidl, who immigrated with his wife

and daughter two or three years earlier and settled in East Bernard on a farm. Mr. Seidl urged my parents to come to the free land of America and leave the war-threatening environment of AustriaHungary. (The war broke out in 1914). Finally, the decision was reached to sail in May 1910 from Bremen, Germany on the ship "Hanover". After my parents sold all their earthly belongings, they collected $300 which was only half of the amount needed to accommodate our family of eight. Two other families; the Beran family of four and Cincaras (also four) were leaving the same time for the same destination. Father borrowed three hundred dollars from Mr. Beran who loaned this amount to my parents without any legal bindings. This amount was paid back in full, when I do not know, but the three families were friends all through the years until death parted them.

After four and a half weeks on rough waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, we landed in Galveston, Texas, but we made one stop in Philadelphia and Baltimore where we saw the first black people, the first pineapple and tasted bananas.

In Galveston we were detained for one week; Rudolf, the youngest, broke out with measles and was placed in quarantine with mother.

The other members of our family lodged in the Krizan Hotel until Rudy and mother were released.

The other two families went ahead and we followed after a one-week delay. It would take pages to write about all the incidents during that

week with four of my brothers and other boys, with families detained for the same reason. They were free to roam and explore Galveston.

They had a ball what my brothers bragged about. Finally, after one week, they were released and we were on our way to the end of our destination. We arrived in East.

Bernard by train in the middle of the night, all around was pitch dark with the mysterious howling of a coyote or wolf, (we thought). It might have been just dogs but it was scary, and, once in a while, the mooing of cows broke the dead silence around us.

Not wanting to wait until morning, father, with Vlada, set out to explore the vicinity and came back shortly with bad news that there was nothing in sight; there was nothing else to do but wait for daybreak and for Mr. Seidl to show up. Come morning we found East Bernard about half a mile down the road from the railroad station consisting of the Post Office, Levridge Merchantile Store, Urbanec Saloon, Cotton Gin and several other buildings.

Mr. Seidl arrived with a team of horses and wagon and soon everything was loaded and finally my parents looked forward to settling down. No one can describe the disappointment of my parents.

Mother, with tears in her eyes, wished she could drop dead or turn around and go back if it would be possible. Standing in sheer shock and staring at the unpainted dwelling, a box house of two large rooms and the surroundings unkept and neglected. Can anyone imagine 19 people to live in close environ ment, like this The two families who arrived earlier stayed only three days after we arrived and found other places to live.

Soon the cotton picking season began and some good people (sorry I do not recall their name) offered my parents an abandoned old building to move into and employed them to pick cotton. This was a blessing for mother for them to be able to take at least the two youngest boys, Joe and Rudy; they stayed with them. The two oldest, Vlada and John, were picking cotton in the vicinity and that way helped out financially. Poor Frank was taken by a farmer who came after Frank on horseback and scared him to death galloping across the prairie and, besides, his employer was a mean man and Frank ran away on foot twice; he was treated badly and was lonely, too. The lady of the house was very nice to him. When he came back, mother, with tears in her eyes, begged him to go back just for a little while longer until father will rent a farm for us to move to. Frank went back and never forgot the bad treatments he had for the months he served on that farm. I was taken in by a young couple with a two-monthold baby to look after while they were in the field working. They were nice to me, but I also was lonesome for my family and cried a lot. Everytime I wanted to leave they would promise me something and when my parents came to take me home I would say I will stay and when they left I would cry, again.

After six month, when I was leaving, my salary? a old rusty planter my father did not know how to use and besides he found out later it was not in working condition!
