GEditor' COMMENTS

The District III Spring meeting was held Sunday, April 21st at Lodge No. 35 in Elk. The editor attended it and will dwell on it, briefly. District III President Joe Ondrusek kept the meeting" on course and all went smoothly. Reports by all district officers were well - presented.

Our Supreme Lodge was represented

by Financial Secretary Jerry Mikulas, Jr., District II Director Willie E. Kohutek with his wife, Adeline (visitors), and District III Director Sid Pokladnik. All these officials spoke, especially Brother Pokladnik who made a thorough report on the business trip to Washington, D.C. to meet our Senators and Representatives pertaining to the U.S. Government planning to tax our fraternal societies.

(Incidentally, they are thinking of taxing individual insurance policies of members themselves. It is time to act NOW!) Refer to the brief article with photos on the front cover of Brother Pokladnik's trip to the Nation's Capitol.

From the District III Committee representatives, two were present, namely, Brother Albert Banik on the Publication and Brother Ben Jarma on the Insurance. Brothers Jerry Milan (Bylaws) and Arnold Vrla (Finance) were absent. District III Alternate Director Albert Kubala of Lodge 92 was also present, however, he excused himself later because a benefit dance was taking place at his lodge and he wanted to be present. (We hope it was a tremendous success.)

SPJST Museum Curator Brother Otto Hanus mentioned that the LAM department keeps growing and we are thankful for the items everyone brings to preserve at the museum. The museum will stay open on Saturday during the months of June, July and August from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.. This would be a good opportunity to bring your relatives and friends to visit the museum and learn what our ancestors went through during the VERY DIFFICULT TIMES. After adjournment many members went to the ranch to enjoy the remainder of the afternoon (Family Day), but the editor was unable to accompany them and returned to West.

All in all, the meeting was productive - as well as enjoyable and also the noon meal was, as usual at Lodge 35, in itself, worth the attendance.

We will leave the details to be included in the District III secretary's report.

and Mrs. J.F. Matthews and Jim Sterling (to name a few) and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Your editor with his spouse Maxine attended and it was delightful, also well - attended with over 260 registered; the day was filled with greeting old friends and renewing those ties that bind us together.

The meal was well prepared and served graciously in a befitting manner.

It was certainly a pleasure to have two of our 1934 class teachers present.

The class of 1935 (of which Sister Lydia Hendrick of Lodge 88, Houston is a member and your editor's sister) will celebrate their 50th anniversary with a party at the home of Whit and Cleo Jackson following the meeting Saturday, May 4th.

We had hoped to attend, however, we do not know whether we will be able to. Whether we do or not, we wish all a wonderful time and a pleasant reunion. And long may all of you live in good health and spirit.

Letters

To The Editor

Dear Editor: In the Vestnik dated April 10, on page 4, you have an article from CESAT by Mr. Charles J. Hejda which states that I advocated the establishment of a Czech chair at Texas A&M University. I made no such statement; however, I did say that Dr. Walker and the Dean of College of Liberal Arts invited me to a luncheon to discuss the matter. I also stated that we would meet with the University of Texas dean to get their thoughts. Too, I do not remember CESAT passing a resolution to establish this chair at Texas A&M. The resolution endorsed the idea of setting up a chair at some state university. I have no favorite. I have degrees from U.T. and I taught at Texas A&Mand I love them both! The C.E.F.T. Directors will make the final decision and not just the president. I pray that, for a change, we can forget about football competition and such and concentrate upon something that is far more important to us and posterity. We can leave for posterity something that all of us will be proud of. Until we are better organized, donations may be sent to me. Please make checks payable to either C.E.F.T. or the Czech Educational Foundation of Texas. Thank you.

This weekend of May 4th will indeed be a busy time for many of our SPJST members and readers who will be attending or taking part in their selective activity. It is also the weekend when the graduating classes of Dayton High School in Liberty County, Texas, have their 50th anniversary graduation reunions held the first Saturday in May each year.

Your editor graduated from DHS in 1934 and our 50th anniversary was one year ago which was well - prepared by some of my classmates of that year.

Dear Editor: Just a tidbit I hope you will print.

I understand that Lodge 40 President James Kulcak was dancing with a racoon in the middle of the night! It seems the racoon wasn't in a hurry to leave the yard and was disturbing the dogs. James was trying to help it move along and ended up with a bite on his heel. I have checked sources and want to tell all the bingo players that James is recovering nicely.

The coon wasn't rabid, only excited!

Questions And Answers Pertaining To `Paid-Up Additions' Dear Members: My department has received numerous inquiries about the "Paid up Additions" the SPJST will offer starting in 1986. The most common questions we have been asked are listed below along with the answers. If you have any questions pertaining to the "Paid - up Additions" feature, please notify us and we will be happy to assist you.

1. QUESTION: What will my premium refund purchase towards "Paid - up Additions"If my premium refund amounted to $20 at age 10?

ANSWER: Your premium refund of $20 at age 10 would have purchased $90.42 in "Paid - up Additions." This amount is based on the net single premium table from the 1941 CSO Mortality Table. It would be extremely lengthy to list all ages and plans of insurance currently paying a premium refund, so the following examples are given for you to estimate.

2. QUEST ION: Will the paid - up insurance purchased be term insurance?

ANSWER: No. All paid - up insurance purchased will be the same type as provided by your original certificate.

3. QUESTION: Will I be notified each year on the amount of "Paid - up Additions" my premium refund purchased?

ANSWER: Yes. All certificateholders will be notified as to the amount of paid - up additional insurance that was credited to your certificate.

AGE 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80

Saturdays during the summer months.

4. QUESTION: Will the paid - up addition amount have a cash value?

ANSWER: Yes. All paid - up addition amounts will have a cash value should you decide to surrender this certificate.

5. QUESTION: What happens if I die and my certificate is for $10,000 and my paid - up addition has accumulated to $300?

ANSWER: The beneficiary will receive $10,300 as a death benefit.

6. QUESTION: Will endowment certificateholders be able to purchase "Paid - up Additions?

ANSWER: Yes. The amount purchased will endow with the original endowment date.

7. QUESTION: What happens if I do not elect the "Paid - up Addition" Option?

ANSWER: You will receive a premium refund check.

8. QUESTION: If I become uninsurable after I have elected "Paid - up Additions", will I still get them?

ANSWER: Yes. That's what makes this option so attractive. When you elect the "Paid - up Addition" option at the issue date of your original certificate no matter what develops with your health status the "Paid - up Additions" continue to be credited to your certificate, even if you are currently uninsurable.

9. QUESTION: Once I exercise my option- between premium refund or "Paid - up Additions" can I change the option?

ANSWER: No-The Supreme Lodge Office will not allow certificateholders to switch from receiving premium refund checks back to "Paid - up Addition" once an option is chosen.

Fraternally, Jerry Mikulas Financial Secretary

REFUND AMOUNT $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 $20.00

The "Gathering" for the "Kaffeeklatsch" and food will convene at the buffet table.

The April meeting was moved to the second Sunday, April 14 due to Easter Holiday. The meeting was a little longer than the majority, due to the second report on the premium refund checks versus additional paid - up insurance question Also adding to this was the question of direct billing with its advantages and disadvantages.

Two motions were made and passed to carry on lodge business. Along with all of the other reports, the financial secretary's report, which is always last on the agenda, was approved and the meeting adjourned.

The door prize was won by Sister Nezval who, in turn, donated it to the special kitchen fund. ' Sister Luquette donated a pair of food tongs to the kitchen so ice could be picked up easily out of the ice bucket.

In addition to the food furnished by the lodge, the conversation during the "Kaffeeklatsch" was enhanced by the food that was so generously donated

by Sisters Janik, Haverda, Srubar, Kortis, Brdecka, Luquette and Nezval.

Lodge 155, Austin's 50th Jubilee Cake.

Sister Lillie Hejl and Brother Raymond Prasatik are enjoying a 50th anniversary waltz.

Lodge 155, Austin Reports Over 100 members and guests assembled Sunday afternoon, March 3 at Saengerrunde Hall to celebrate the 50 - year Jubilee of the organization of Lodge Hlava Texasu No. 155, Austin, Texas. All who were present expressed a genuine thank you for being invited to this special occasion.

A welcoming address was made.

Officers and guests were introduced.

The presidents and representatives of other fraternals gave appropriate congratulatory remarks and correspondence was read from those unable to attend.

We, especially, appreciate the large number of members from Lodge 29 present as our guests.

The president called upon Mr. Howard Leshikar, SL president of the SPJST, who gave an inspirational talk of the fast growing future with its many choices of insurance protection, fellowship with other lodges and preservation of our heritage. He also stressed the participation in civic and other charities to continue.

Raymond Prasatik gave an illustrious summary of the 50 - year historical events of our Lodge No. 155.

The highlights were as follows:

He told us how Lodge 155 gave support through the years to Majales Festival (May Fest) sponsored by the Texas University Czech Club at the Student Union Building.

He told us how he, the youngest member elected to serve on the Audit Committee of the Supreme Lodge of SPJST at the East Bernard convention, made an appeal to the young people to join our growing SPJST. He told how Lodge No. 155 helped to promote the Austin Girl Scout "Czech" Festival which won national acclaim, winning an award for the project of dramatizing the cultural customs and traditions of Czechoslovakia which involved 1000 participants from Austin and Czech communities. The preliminary year long preparation involved the Girl Scouts making their costumes and learning to dance the "Beseda" under the direction of Miss Adella Hanzelka of Granger. SPJST provided samples of Czech food including kolache, strudel, chicken noodle soup, etc. This event took place in Pease Park with Mayor Tom Miller as the principal speaker on the platform built for the occasion.

He told us how Lodge No. 155 assisted Supreme Lodge officials in the dedication ceremonies in Austin of the

"Bomber SPJST" as a reward in investing in the World War II Saving Bonds.

He told us our members greeted Jan Masaryk, son of the First President of the Republic of Czechoslovakia, Vojta Benes, brother of Edward Beneg, second president of Czechoslovakia, also later Archbishop Beran in exile from Czechoslovakia. All the above were in Austin and many of the Czech members were moved with their lectures.

He told us, with only a small group in the past, members with meager funds donated to many charities and supported every good cause.

Mrs. Lillie Kopecky Hejl and Raymond Prasatik were the recognized honorees of the day - being the only two charter members alive. Mr. Leshikar pinned a 50 - year pin on Lillie and offered congratulations.

Alice Prasatik gave a short history of Lillie's life stressing her dedication to SPJST for. 50 years, insuring her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in SPJST. She served the lodge most of the years in some official capacity and countless number of meetings were held in her and her husband's home on Shoalmont. She was elected by acclamation last year to be a lifelong Honorary President.

Lillie is a living example of true fraternalism. She is warm, kind, helping others and a "grandlady." She was presented an appropriate card with a $50 bill in appreciation for her 50 - year membership from Lodge No. 155. Her surprise brought about a spontaneous round of applause.

John Bruce Hejl, treasurer, presented Raymond Prasatik a similar appreciation gift of $50 for his dedication to SPJST and being a secretary and financial secretary for 50 years.

A beautiful large sheath cake with the SPJST star logo was the centerpiece on one of the ice decorated tables. A large floral arrangement was on another table, compliments of Eldon Powell Florists.

Coffee was served as well as punch.

Another table was laden with snacks.

Those preferring beer could obtain it in the meeting room.

The main entertainment was the fine performance of Roger Beck and His Western Swing 7 - piece band for dancing pleasure of all attending.

A delicious barbecue dinner, catered

by Bill Miller, followed.

Warmest thanks go to all members making this event the great success it was.

With Easter falling on our first Sunday of the month meeting day, we postponed our next meeting to May 5 at the home of Raymond Prasatik, 3000 Enfield - phone 472 - 1721 - at 3 p.m.

Hope to see all of you, then.

their 35th wedding anniversary. There was a large crowd there and everyone had plenty to eat and, after the meal, some very good music to dance by. We were able to meet and talk with all of our friends from other lodges and also officers and directors of the Supreme Lodge.

I wish to send special congratulations to Darlene Roznovsky for winning the poster contest for a cover to this year's Red Cross youth volunteer handbook. It is always a good feeling to know that young Americans are helping make America a better place to live. Maybe it's just SPJST fraternalism rubbing off.

183, Mid-Cities News Lodge

Dear Members: An early reminder that the next meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, May 13th at the lodge hall because Sunday will be Mother's Day. (The officers and members, at the last meeting, wished that all of you members will have a pleasant day with your mothers Sunday.) This will be a special meeting and all of you members need to be there because Jerry Mikulas from the Supreme Lodge said that he would try to be there and explain direct billing and group billing. It is important that all of you members understand the difference before the lodge takes a vote on the subject.

Ten members of the lodge helped Mydell and Louis Grochoske celebrate

(Darlene is the daughter of Daniel and Mary Ann Roznovsky, all members of Lodge 183. She is working with the Dallas County Red Cross Youth Volunteers.)

By the time this letter goes to press the District III meeting will be history.

Several Lodge 183 members plan to be there. It should be a pretty drive to Elk; spring is here and there are so many wild flowers blooming along the roadways this year.

Just a few weeks school will be over and it will be summer again, and the parents who want their children to get a better education these days may have topullt&few wires, the television wire, the hi - fi wire, and the radio wire.

The next regular dance will be May 18th with music by The Czech Harvesters; hope to see all of you there.

Fraternally, Norman M. Kneschk Reporter

"I wanted people to be able to look at it and know what it's about without looking at the words." [Darlene Roznovsky] When Darlene Roznovsky set out to design a cover for this year's Red Cross youth volunteer handbook, she had the old cliche in mind --- a picture is worth a thousand words.

"I wanted people to be able to look at it and know what it's about without looking at the words," said Ms. Roznovsky, an Irving High School junior.

With one red cross and four simple silhouettes, Ms. Roznovsky conveyed the spirit of volunteerism and her design was selected for the handbook cover over 70 other high school entries.

The handbook contains listings of volunteer jobs for youths in Dallas County.

Judi Oehler, director of youth services for the Red Cross, said this was the first year the handbook's cover design was chosen through a student competition. Ms. Roznovsky's winning design will appear on 8,000 handbooks and 500 posters.

"Our whole goal is to show the community that youth can be active," Ms. Oehler said. "There's a lot of talent there that they don't always get an opportunity to show."

Ann Mixson, an Irving High School art teacher, said Ms. Roznovsky's winning design is simply a reflection of her overall talent. "She's a super student and she took the initiative to enter that contest on her own. She did it all herself."

The youth handbook is distributed by the Red Cross every year. It contains more than 150 listings of jobs available in daycare centers, recreation centers, libraries and nursing homes, among others. .Each job has a minimum age requirement which ranges from 10 to 17.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Our softball season got off to a good start Wednesday night, April 18 at 8:10 p.m. on Samuel Grand Diamond No. 2. We played the Peat Marwick team and we won the game by a score of 7 to 0. Tommy Yates was the winning pitcher hurling the first 3 innings. He walked 2 batters, no hits and struckout 3 batters. Mike Moeller hurled the final 2 innings allowing 1 hit, no walks and 4 strikeouts.

Leading hitters were Ben Downey with 2 singles, Kerry Good with a single and a walk, Bart Walker with a single, Don Jarma with a sacrifice fly, Tom Stites with a double, Danny Yates with a walk, Don Palm with a walk and a single, and Paul Bartos with a single. No errors were committed and it was a good game considering it was our first game of the season. We had a pre - season game rained out and a pre - season tournament also was rained out.

We played our second league game Tuesday night, April 23rd against the Dallas Hawks and we won by a score of 4 to 1. Mike Moeller pitched a very good game allowing 3 hits, 1-walk and 13 strikeouts.

Leading hitters were Don Palm with 2 singles, Bart Walker with a triple, Ben Downey with a double, Kerry Good with a single, Don Jarma with a single, Tommy Yates with a walk, and Paul Bartos with a single. Our team played a very good game defensively; no errors were committed. We even had some fans at the game and had five of our youngsters who really enjoyed themselves, all three or under, but I don't know if the "Mommies" did; oh, I think so.

After the game most of the players and wives all went to Tony's for a few pivos and a lot of talk and laughter.

Following is our games' schedule for the season: Wednesday, May 1 -- 6:45 p.m.

Thursday, May 9 -- 8:10 p.m.

Tuesday, May 14 -- 6:45 p.m.

Thursday, May 23 -- 6:45 p.m.

Tuesday, May 28 -- 6:45 p.m.

Tuesday, June 4 -- 8:10 p.m.

Wednesday, June 12 -- 8:10 p.m.

Wednesday, June 19 -- 8:10 p.m.

Thursday, June 27 -- 6:45 p.m.

I hope that some of our friends and members keep this schedule at hand and come out to some of our games. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we

will enjoy your presence.

Our annual Softball Team Benefit Dance held Saturday night, April 20th is now history, but I am glad I can report it was a total success. I will admit I was worried, but, thank God for wonderful people who still support our team after these 32 seasons! We, the team, wish to thank everyone who attended our dance, our mother Lodge 84, Dallas for letting us use the hall and orchestra, "The Czech Harvesters" for the fine music which was enjoyed by all present. Our greatest thanks to all the members of our lodge and our players who all donated prizes, for our team's drawing, so generously. To name everyone individually would take a lot of space, however, you know who you are and we will always remember your kindness and our wonderful support.

Many thanks to all the players and their wives who were present and who all worked in the kitchen, sold tickets and all, to those players who donated 2 half gallons of Bourbon and Scotch for the special drawings, plus to those who helped sell tickets. Your efforts were again, very successful. Also thanks to those players and wives who helped with the decorating Friday night.

In closing, may I, again, say THANKS to everyone who contributed in any way to our dance; it was again a most successful event.

See you at the games!

Furthermore, the Cultural Society is looking forward to the Texas Sesquicentennial celebration in October 1986 at the Dallas State Fair.

Besides the Sunday program, the preceding Saturday afternoon and evening is being considered to expand the program, since the State Fair officials have tentatively made that time available to the Cultural Society.

How about it, do you think we Czechs can make a memorable celebration to honor our forebears and also perpetuate our heritage?

Czechoslovakian Folk Dress Imagine a holiday with all the people of a community dressed in their native costumes with colors so strikingly beautiful in their intensity, or so breath - takingly muted in pastels; all mixed with flowers, ribbons, laces and eyelets with plumes of feathers; all encircled with a bountiful supply of the most exquisite embroidery and then you might be able to capture an essence of the Czech Folk Dress.

The wearing apparel of the Czechs is so very varied that one really has to see it to appreciate the beauty of it and of the many, many hours work put into each article. From the strong, bright reds, blues, yellow and black, all iced with the whitest of lace and eyelet of some sections of the country to the subdued beauty of the pastels, and then to the earth - colored elegance, so soft and so peaceful of yet another village boggles the imagination of those who see them. The panorama would certainly equal a Picasso or Monet painting.

There are basically two types of patterns of peasant dress styles. The western type, originally worn in Bohemia (Cechy), and some parts of Moravia and the commonly called Carphatian style, the eastern type which was worn in eastern Moravia and Slovakia. These two basic styles developed in the course of time into a large number of local variants. An interesting feature of folklore, the so called peasant dress has always been of great interest, in years long past each district or village developed its own colors and ornamentation so distinctly that an expert could easily identify from where each dress came.

The patterns of the Bohemian peasant dress had the characteristic (Continued on page 10)

women's billowing skirts made from silk or wool, gathered or pleated to form great volumes, richly embroidered in a crewel type pattern and trimmed in lace that were worn over many different petticoats, after the bodice had been enclosed in a very stiff corset. The women's and men's blouses and shirts were always made of white linen or cotton, and again trimmed in white lace or eyelet. The women's enormously puffed pillow lace sleeves were often filled with tissue paper to fill them out stiffly, gathered and tied at the elbow with a brightly colored ribbon. To complement the blouse and skirt, white or patterned silk aprons adorned with elaborate embroidery and lace trimming were worn over the skirts.

Men wore tight leather knee britches, usually of a dark color with high black riding boots. Some villages wore long woolen stockings and low cut shoes with woolen, light colored knee - britches.

Both men and women wore black or red vests, embroidered, beaded and sequined of broad cloth or satin with string lacing in the front. The vests were a stunning statement of beauty.

In some of the villages, men wore tailored short coats, often embroidered with silk, gold or silver thread. In the cooler seasons they wore long straight coats designed to save every piece of material.

The native footwear varied from shiny black, high riding boots, worn by both women and men to the soft, suedelike slippers or moccasins called `krpce'. The krpce were made from a single piece of the softest leather and attached to the foot with leather straps which were laced around the foot and ankle much like a ballet shoe. Both men and women, young and old, wore their particular style with great flair and grace.

Of Interest Some Savings Bonds Reaching Final Maturity If you are one of the millions of Americans who bought savings bonds during and after World War II, you could be losing interest money.

Certain U.S. Savings Bonds have passed their final maturity dates and are no longer earning interest, says Nancy L. Granovsky, a family economics specialist with the TAMU Agricultural Extension Service.

Series E Bonds bought before April 1952 reach final maturity 40 years from the date of issue. Series E bonds that were bought in April 1945 will stop drawing interest this month; next month those issued in May 1945 wit cease to earn interest, and sd"on.

Series H Bonds bought before

January 1957 reach final maturity in 29 years, 8 months, so any Series H bond bought before August 1955 is not drawing interest now.

Granovsky encourages those who have older U.S. Savings Bonds to review their holdings, recording the date of issue of each, and determine whether they have passed maturity, or are currently or will soon stop earning interest.

To make your money work for you, it is important to take time to review your bonds, says Granovsky. Keeping them when they are not gaining in value is like putting your money in a mattress. Not only do you lose the interest on something that's not making money, but you are actually losing buying power on the face value due to inflation.

Your bank can provide the term to maturity on Series E Bonds issued after April 1952 and Series H Bonds issued after January 1957, adds the specialist.

Against Salmonella

Guarding

College Station -- With the recent outbreak of salmonella poisoning in the midwest, consumers are concerned about the safety of food they buy at the store.

But they should be equally concerned about food safety at home, says a Texas A&M University Agricultural Extension Service nutrition specialist.

Salmonella is a common bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and man, says Marilyn Haggard.

It most usually affects high protein foods such as meat, poultry, fish and eggs. However, any food that becomes contaminated and is then held at improper temperatures can cause salmonella, she explains.

According to- the specialist, contamination of cooked foods is often caused by contact with surfaces or utensils that are not properly washed after use with raw meats.

Insufficient cooking of food that has been contaminated can also cause food borne illness. Salmonella are destroyed at cooking temperatures above 165 degrees F, Haggard notes.

She advises following a few simple guidelines to reduce the possibility of salmonella poisoning: Wash your cutting board thoroughly after each use -- especially if you have been cutting raw meat on it.

Wash your hands. carefully before handling food.

Wash raw foods well.

Heat foods to at least 165 degrees F. before serving.

Refrigerate or freeze leftovers immediately after a meal.

Keep pet feeding dishes and toys out of the kitchen.

The barbecue and picnic season brings special food poisoning hazards with it, Haggard cautions. It is especially important to make sure protein foods like deviled eggs, hamburgers and hot dogs and other picnic fare are cooked thoroughly and kept at the proper temperature, she says.

Any food borne illness we get from improper handling of food at home may not receive the publicity of a major outbreak from a commercial manufacturing source, Haggard remarks. But the symptoms and seriousness of the illness are the same.

SPRAVITI, which means to fix or to repair.

Ex.: Statni sprava je umistena v Austine.

Strojnik provedl spravku na praece.

Podafilo se mu nag pfijimae spraviti.

ZPRAVA means 'report'. Ex.: Pan reditel podal zpravu o gkole. (Using both words: Vedouci statni spravy podal podrobnou zpravu o sve einnosti.)

UMET-MOHU Um& means "to know how to do things". It must not be confused with MOHU. Ex.: Unite mluvit eesky? Ten elovek neural mleet. Umi g hrati na klavir?

MOHU Means "I can", indicating permission.

Ex.: Mohu jet s vami--- Can I go with you?

Ano, mohu vam to fici.

(In colloquial speech, "molu", and "nrullou" may be used for mohu, mohou.)

NESMIM—NEMUSIM Nemusinn means: "I need not— I don't have to."

Nesmim means, "I must not".

SMET Smet means, "to be allowed to" Smim— I may Lekce os nacti—Lesson 18 Smil— you may Smi— he (she) may Correcting some often made errors.

Smime— we may In this lesson, we will deal with some Smite— you (pl.) may errors that are frequently made by Smeji-- they may Czechs in Texas.

Ex.: Smim koufit?— Smite.

KDE—KAM Smim vas doprovodit?— Nemusite.

These 2 words are probably misused EXERCISE more than any other. We frequently Use the following words in a hear, "Kde jedeg?" This is wrong. To sentence. indicate the physical action of going kde smim somewhere, the word KAM is used: k am -Kam jdeg; Kam jede g? The word kde sem um eti mohu indicates a stationary situation, and jsem nesmim cannot be used to indicate physical ac- sprava musim tion. Ex.: Kde to je.Kde bydlite? Kde je zprava smeji *** nadrali? etc. And using KAM, we say the following: Kam pojedete vee'er? "tisfounka Anieka" Kam pajdete po divadle? Kam jste gli Pohlednete na Anieku po zabave etc. All you need to jak pane padla v kagieku. remember is whether you are indicating Ted tu stoji— nevi rady: action or not. proe' jenom gla do zahrady!

SEM—JSEM Proe pak neposlechla mati, We call words like these homonyms; ie si smi doma hrati. they sound the same but have entirely Vybehla, le se proskRedifferent meanings. In English, some --ted' tu stoji, smutne plae'e. homonyms are: there, their, they're, (Read out loud and translate.) bear, bare; and close, clothes.

SEM means "here", or "to here", with ACTION, Ex.: Veera pfijeli sem.

Pojd sem! Dojeli sem gfastne. All of these involved action in coming or getting here.

One means one thing, and repetition, b) the perfective verbs present the acthe other means something else. tion as a completed fact, emphasizing SPRAVA—ZPRAVA Here are 2 tricky words, both written the result, consequence or product.

In form the perfective verbs differ and pronounced exactly the same, but from their imperfective counterparts a) again have 2 entirely different meanings. It is therefore important that we by an altered stem: kupovat— koupit, know 'how to spell the one we wish to idvat-- dat, hazet-- hodit, or by g completely different stem: brat— vzit, use SPRAVA--- means administration, or b) by taking a prefix: Ireful seuvafim, opakuor SPRAVKA, which is a repair; or naueim se, valim

Dobry muzikant ju— 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, Win?, leffm, plavu, nesu, vezu and also psdt etc. ph- motion to some place, close to something or somebody: Piinesl knihu. — He brought a book. Pfigel.

J. FUCiK Pratte pled 110 lety, 18. oervence 1872, se v Praze narodil 6eskY hudebni skladatel a kapelnik Julius Fu61k, jehoi skladby pro dechovou hudbu jsou dosud velmi oblibeny. Vidyf jeho hizne pochody Triglav, Fiorentino* Vjezd gladiatora zpevne valaiky a Marinarella stale hraji phedni dechove hudby u nas i v cizine.

Tato prastara obilovina pochazi z jinni Asie. Dnes se pestuje y e s y ete hlavne v subtropickch krajich, v Brazilii, Indonesii, lndii, Cine a Japonsku. A prave Japonsko, tato mirnofedne lidnata zeme, venuje jejimu pestovani a vyuiiti mimofednou pozornost a pedi, nebof je to rostlina velice vimosna, vyiaduje ov g em narodnou yodohospodaPskou upravu poll, vydatne hnojeni a pedlivou kultivaci.

Ride je rostlina teplomilna, vyiaduje urditou teplotu pudy I vzduchu. Ridovi§te se obvykle zaklada v blizkosti Fek nebo jinych vodnich zdrojO, z nich i lie pole snadno zavodnovat. Ride se sail na jaFe a potom je tfeba pFi jejim rOstu uddovat vodni hladinu tak, aby stale sahala do vysky jedne tretiny rostlinky.

Kdyi ride uzraje, vypusti se z ryiovi§te voda, aby pOda vyschla a bylo moine ji sklizet.

V Japonsku je ride, jako dOleiita potravina, pod statni kontrolou. Stet vsechnu r-Vii vykupuje a prideluje kombinatOm na zpracovani. Chudi zemédélci mdern zajem dodat a yypestovat ji co nejvic, a tak se Japonsko v teto plodine stalo naprosto sobestadnym.

Ride je japonskym narodnim jidlem, Japonci se bez ni neobejdou ani jediny den a jedi ji v nejrozlidnej§ich Upravach a kombinacich. Nektere oblasti mail tak pfiznive podminky, ie se ride urodi dvakrat do roka. Ostatni zemedelske vyrobky Japonci y e velke mire dovaieji.

v zeil 1904 phihlasil dobrovolne k vojenske hudbe. Mel jsem skute6n6 gtesti, jsem byl phidelen do Budapegti k 86. pluku, jehoi kapelnikem byl Julius Fu61k. By/i jsme tam skoro sami Ce gi. Na to si potrpel, s hrdosti mohl zdOrazliovat, ie degi jsou dobhi muzikanti.

Fuoik mel velkou autoritu a musim se phiznat, ie jsem m61 trochu strach, jak obstojim. Vgechno vgak dobie dopadlo, phijal me. Hral jsem na tubu, ktere dávol piednost pled helikenem, jehoi hlas povaioval pro koncerty za hruby.

Budapegti bylo tehdy ce/kem osm vojenskYch kapeL Nage vgak ani p11 nejlepg1 vali nemohla sta6it vyhovet vgem nabidkam, jak byla popularni. Jak by ne, kdyi no WO koncert phinagela neco noveho a se Magi' ve/km zajmem a nadgenlm byly vidy phi/many skladby nageho dirigenta.

Phi mnoistvi koncert(' a phi nacviku stale novych skladeb bylo prace nad hlavu. Kaidou zkougku zaoinal vidycky nag' regimentstambor, zastupce kapelnika, kterY s nami procvi6oval technicky teal p0,-tie. Asi po hodine cviaeni se dostavil sam Fu6ik a ujal se fizeni. Pozdravil nas, postavil se k dirigentskemu pultiku, fukl taktovkou a ul se jelo. Sta-

oila vgak sebemengi chybioka, aby poklepem zkougku pherugil. Upozornil no chybu, vysvetlil, co chce, odkud se bude opakovat, a dalgim zaklepanim dal pokyn pokraoovat Na dlouhe rozvalovani nebyl 6as. Kdo se nedokazal rychle orientovat, ztratil kontakt. Takovy hudebnik se u nas udriet nemohl, na to byl nag kapeinik piisnY. Ale i kdyi se zlobil, nikdy nebyl hruby. Proto i delesloulici u neho radi zOstavali, a kdo odchaze/ do civilu, ten ui" neco znal.

Julia Fuoika jsem velmi dobie poznal jako muzikanta jako 6Ioveka, cele roky vojny jsem u n6ho nejen hral, ale byl jsem mu take jako vojensky sluha — tehdy se iikalo pucak. Avgak s/uhou jsem vlastne nebyl, choval se ke mne spige jako Nesnesi vedle sebe sluhu nemuzikanta a velmi oceiioval, kdyi ',ado ovladal vice nastrojO. A tak i jé jsem se krome sve tuby nau6i1 hrat je gte no basovy tromben a no bici nastroje.

Kdyi jsem z Budapegti po thech letech odchazel, Fuoik m6 phemlouval, abych zeistal. Zvykli jsme si no sebe. M61 jsem vgak doma devoe . a tak jsem aspoii spinil jeho phani, abych zOstal hudb6 vernY." Zapsal dr. Eduard Doubek
