cEditor. COMMENTS
Our readers are reminded about the Forty-Fifth Czech Day at the. State Fair in Dallas this Sunday, October 6th. The Program is being reprinted in this issue, again. This day needs and deserves the support of all citizens of Czech-Moravian-Slovakian descent wherever if possible for them to attend. It was the foresight of Czech people in the Dallas-Ft Worth area and, frankly, all over Texas who had the inspiration to contact the State Fair authorities, in the early part of this century, and get the Czech Day set for the annual State Fair. We should support those pioneers' efforts and continue this effort in any way possible. In this issue are letters from SL SIT Leonard Mikeska and Ms. Jeanne Jacques pertaining to the Texans of Czech Ancestry (TOCA) and plans for next year's Sesquicentennial celebrations plus information about the Czech Heritage Society of Texas Genealogy Workshop to be held October 26th and 27th in Victoria. Check the Bulletin Board for the upcoming fall district meetings and try to attend them, if possible, especially in your district! *** Whenever you need to travel by plane,you get to the airport, ticket in hand, only to find that your flight is overbooked and you have no seat. It is happening a lot these days. Last year several thousand passengers were denied seats on flights for which they had tickets. The practice, known as bumping, is legal. The airlines like to point out that your chances of being bumped are statistically quite small. But as more airlines overbook to make sure their flights are full, the problem is growing worse. In case catching a flight is critical, be sure to ask about the airline's bumping rules when you make your reservation. Each airline does it a little differently. Even if you have checked in when you arrive at the airport, received a seat assignment and checked in again at the gate, you still have no assurance of a seat if you are not physically there when bumping decisions are made. So check in early and stay near the gate. Do not go for coffee or a newspaper. Your best bet: Get on the plane as soon as boarding starts. Before ticketed passengers can be left behind, the Transportation Department -- which oversees airline consumer complaints -- requires carriers to ask for volunteers to give up seats in return for compensation, usually cash on the spot or a free ticket. Should you volunteer to get Off? First, ask a few questions: How much cash is offered -- enough to cover your extra costs? The amount is negotiable. Will the airline provide other amenities such as free meals or hotel rooms? When is the next flight? If the airline doesn't get enough volunteers, it can bump passengers against their will. If that happens to you and the airline places you on another flight scheduled to arrive within an hour of the original one, you won't receive anything. But if you are placed on a flight arriving between 1
and 2 hours late, you will get an amount equal to the fare of your overbooked flight up to $200. If the airline cannot get you to your destination within 2 hours -- 4 hours for flights leaving , the U.S. -- you get twice your fare up to $400. You do not have to accept the amount offered. You can try to negotiate with the carrier's complaint department. Further information is included in the 1985 edition of "Facts and Advice for Airline Passengers" by the Aviation Consumer Action Project. For a copy, send $2 to ACAP, PO Box 19029, Washington, D.C. 20036. ***
If you think you may be allergic to sulfites -- preservatives applied to both fresh and processed foods to improve their appearance -- the Food and Drug Administration advises you to avoid eating at salad bars and ordering any potato dishes in restaurants. Also, stay away from beer or wine. Most restaurants have stopped using sulfites in their food preparation, says an FDA spokesman. But they have no way of knowing whether their food supplies are treated with the stuff. As many as one million people, primarily asthmatics, are allergic to sulfites. Allergic reactions can range from relatively mild nausea and diarrhea to fatal shock. Sulfites are known to have contributed to 15 deaths. The FDA has announced plans to ban them from fresh fruits and vegetables. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is considering a warning label for beer and wine containing more than a minimal amount of sulfite. ***
SPJST State Domino Champions Lodge 87, Temple was the setting for the 1985 SPJST Straight Domino Playoff held September 21st. The participants and guests were welcomed by the officers and members of Lodge 87. The day was full of fun and friendly competition. The participants enjoyed not only the game and the honor of representing their lodge, but also rekindling friendships with fellow SPJST members from all over the state. The day was interrupted only by a wonderful noon meal served by Lodge 87. Even though there could only be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners, we feel that all participants were winners. First place was captured by Lodge 186, Caldwell, represented by Thomas Cannon and Ervin Moore. In second place was Lodge 29, Taylor, represented by Herbert Riethmeyer and Edwin Adamek. Third place was Lodge 17, New Tabor, represented by Andrew and Lola Vavra. The tournament ended around 7 p.m. with the presenting of the trophies by President Leshikar. We wish to thank Lodge 87's officers and members for doing a superb job in hosting the playoff, the representatives from the lodges who participated, Bud Petty, tournament director and the judges and staff who helped the day run smoothly. Fraternally, Howard Leshikar President —SPJST-

The meeting will be held in the lodge hall and start at 2 p.m. There will be a short discussion of the "Who Is and When?" members who plan to go to the District VI meeting in Victoria. The social meeting will convene at the coffee pot after the regular meeting. It took a little over three quarters of an hour, to take care of business in the September 8th meeting.

The winner of the door prize was Brother Anton Kehler, Jr. The "Kaffeeklatsch" convened at the serving table. Sisters Janik, Kortis, Haverda, Brdecka, Foytik, Luquette and Nezval added to the fare to make everything a success. Thank you sisters.

Dear Members: I was going to write a few notes last night (Monday) to the Vestnik to let the members and friends know how we are doing here at Holland, but I had a hurting in my back, so I am writing this Tuesday morning. This ailment in my back is what my father used to call "huser." After using a vibrator and rubbing my back with some Watkins

We held our regular monthly meeting Sunday, September 8, at 2 p.m. Brother Bohac, our president, called the meeting to order and asked all to stand to recite the Pledge of. Allegiance and to remain standing for a moment in memory of our deceased members. Roll call of officers showed all present. Next, Brother Latham read the minutes from the August meeting. The minutes were approved as read; he also gave the financial report for the various departments which was satisfactory. Yours truly had an old minute book of SPJST Lodge 80 at our meeting. I would like to quote the minutes taken at their meeting Sunday, August 13, 1910. For the information of Lodge 80 members in the above - mentioned minutes was an item that was discussed. It was the National Czech Cemetery near the SPJST Hall here at Holland. At this meeting the members decided to purchase 2 acres of land from a Mr. Gotcher. Here was the transaction for the land: Pd. Mr. Gotcher for land - - $200.00 Abstract $8.65 Pd. Mr. Romberg surveying land $1.00 Telephone Calls .70 $.10 Postage $1.25 Interest on Note $211.70 Total Cost Also at this meeting they discussed what they were to name the cemetery; two names were suggested, Slavonic Cemetery and SPJST National Cemetery. After a voice vote taken, it was named SPJST National Cemetery. (This was one of the items taken care of at their meeting held August 13, 1910. These minutes were written by my father - in - law, Mr. J.R. Woytek, secretary; Martin Martinets, president.) Frarikie Pajestka, Jr. and I represented Lodge 80 at the domino tournament at Lodge 87 in Temple. We did not win a trophy, but we enjoyed the game and good fellowship; we left before the tournament was over so we don't know which lodge was the winner. In other news from these parts, the crops are all gathered, milo, corn and cotton made very good yields; the wheat was damaged by rust to some extent; only the prices were not so
good. We are in need of a good rain. We accepted two new members at Lodge 80; namely, James Strmiska and Melissa Tailler. Donations from Lodge 80 went to: American Auxiliary - - - - $50 Holland Hi Cheerleaders - $50 KJT No. 28, Granger - - - -$24 Fraternally, Joe Barabas, Jr., Reporter —SPJST-

92, Ft. Worth Celebrates Jubilee
Lodge
Dear Readers: The excitement and celebration of our Lodge's 75th anniversary are a memory now, but a word of thanks to all who came to help us celebrate is certainly in order. More than 750 were in attendance for the two days' celebration, and many who had not been to their lodge home in many, many years found old friendships renewed, and the sense of togetherness was good to feel. It was a joy to plan for this celebration -- we had 23 volunteer members on the committee, and all were responsible for the hard work and preparations that went on behind the scenes. The souvenir program listed each of their names in a particular subcommittee, but I'm glad to report that all, at one time or another, stepped in to help out wherever there was a need. Their names are: Program/Entertainment/Plat form -- Albert and Helen Kubala, Mike Watkins Youth Program -- Gordon and Cheryl Hubenak Czech Costume/Early Dress Fashion Show -- Clara Cohen and Estabelle Hubenak
Wednesday, October 2, 1985—VESTNiK/5
Dance/DecoratiniCommittee -- Liz Howard, Victoria Murphy, Joyce Tesar and Martha Durham Souvenir Program Committee -Gordon Hubenak, Sherrie Watkins, Kenneth Krivanek and Frank Tesar, Jr. Publicity Committee was handled by Bunny Tesar and Mary Ann Krivanek, while Al and Alene Kercho, Raymond Hubenak and John Paprskar were on the Ticket Committee. The Dinner Committee people were Kenneth Krivanek, Louis Kubala, Alice and Bill Morley. As I told them, "take a bowP; they did a superb job. The biggest surprise to most of the membership, we think, was the presence of Congressman Jim Wright. Congressman Wright had been an honored guest at our 50th anniversary in 1960 when he was just a fledgling congressman. It was a deep honor to have him drop in on us for our 75th anniversary, and his "Czech Speech" was a delight for everyone there. By way of explanation, the Souvenir Program had a deadline to meet, and omissions of some names were not intentional, but due to a lack of timely information on the day of print. We've already mentioned Congressman Wright. Our Master of Ceremonies was'our Al Kercho. The soloist for the anthems was Helen Samson. The Texas Cloggers group was from the Frances Lea Dance Studio and included one of our own members, Staci Hubenak. The youth club members on the program that day were Mary Cecelia Krivanek, Brandy and Kelli Kubala, Holly and Melissa Hubenak, Carla Watkins, Jolie and Jon Eric Paprskar. We are grateful to the Ladies' Circle, who, through their President, Florence Greer. presented the lodge with a substantial anniversary cash gift; and big hugs to Art and Tillie Gillis, 50 - year members, who contributed the beautiful red - white blue carnations for our headtable arrangements. A big THANK YOU to the Paprskar family; Jon and Joye and children, Mike and Helen Paprskar, who gave a beautiful bronze plaque commemorating the founding of Lodge 92 in 1910 in memory of their grandparents and parents, Anna and Frank Paprskar, who were charter members. The plaque has already been placed on the front of the building and it was certainly a generous and thoughtful gift made on the 75th anniversary of the lodge. The Czech Costume and Early Dress Fashion Show was a showcase for many of our members, and,of course, the Dallas Czech Concert Orchestra directed by Brother Sid Pokladnik, added just the right touch of elegance to a delightful half hour. Because many of you asked, we are listing the names of those involved with the fashion show. The first ones on the show were in beautiful Czech costume; namely, Lydia Alholm, Josephine Prochaska, Florence and Jimmy Greer with their grandchildren, Sydney and Craig Jones. Then, in chronological order, the item worn, loaned by, and the model's name included: 1.

Ancestry Announce Plans For Sesquicentennial Texans of Czech descent share a rich cultural history and heritage and have contributed much to the rich ethnic heritage of Texas. It is no surprise that they plan to contribute their efforts to the Sesquicentennial activity when all Texans celebrate their cultural inheritance during 1986. For the past several months, unknown to most Texans, a statewide committee has been planning busily to enable all Czech Texans to share in the celebration of the 150th Anniversary of Texas Independence. The Planning Committee, chaired by Jeanne Jacques of Austin, Texas, now has completed its work and has handed its plans to an operating organization staffed by many prominent Czech Texans. The Czech name of this organization, Texane Ceskeho Pilvodu, translates into Texans of Czech Ancestry (TOCA). It was organized to promote and coordinate Czech related events and activities in Texas during the Sesquicentennial year 1986. Albert J.Blaha, Sr., retired engineer and noted Czech historian genealogist - author, of Houston, Texas, prepared much of the Master Plan and Handbook. Calvin C. Chervenka, physics - engineer - Czech instructor and Czech historian author, of Temple, Texas, has revised and edited the handbook to serve as a guide for all TOCA project workers. Blaha and Chervenka indicated that TOCA is an independent organization which has no affiliation with any of the Czech founded organizations but

Texas Czech Beseda Dancers Participate In Bavarian Festival In Munich, Germany (Continued from last week's issue.) FRIDAY, AUGUST 9 Have you ever tried to dance on a train going 110 mph? This is just what we did today. We left the Central Train Station in Munich today at 10:45 a.m. and rode the Trans - European Express through Augsburg to Ulm. Our "stage" was approximately 6 square meters (not very big) and our audience was small but enthusiastic. We toured Ulm for about an hour and saw the Ulm Cathedral, noted for having the highest steeple in the world: 525 feet high. One of the food specialties in Ulm is called "Sparrows Dirt," a sweet delicacy so named after the lowly sparrow. It seems that the Ulm Cathedral caught fire and the sparrows made such a ruckus that they woke the nightwatchman and saved the church from destruction. Ask Stanley Vrla and Richard Brown how many steps there are to the top of the tower (768 steps; they counted each one of them climbing up!) SATURDAY, AUGUST 10 Our bus departed at 8:30 on another rainy morning for Neuburg on the Danube River. Here we were hosted by the municipality and given a guided tour by the town historian. After having a quite lively lunch in a converted horse stable with groups from Spain and Switzerland, we danced in the open town square (amid the raindrops). After an afternoon of touring and souvenir - hunting, we again met with the Spanish and Swiss groups for dinner before dancing our Beseda again, this time in the Stadtheater. Another long day ended with arrival back in Munich at 12:00 midnight. SUNDAY, AUGUST 11 We ventured out on the streetcar and subway once again for Marienplatz for mass at the Asam Church and for the 11:00 performance of the Glockenspiel. This was quite a dramatic occasion, with thousands of blue balloons being released after the performance was over. For lunch we had Munich's famous barbecued pig's knuckles (schweinhaxen). Returning to our hotel, the group once again left for Olympiapark for the outdoor closing ceremonies of the International Competition and announcement of the winners. The crowd was very large and the mingling of all the colorful costumes and music left your head swimming. After having dinner in the enormous Olympic Hall with visitors from all over the world, we returned, tired but happy, to our hotel at 10:30. NOTE:(Continued Beseda Dancers on Page 7) MONDAY, AUGUST 12 We departed Munich for Vienna at 8:00 a.m. After lunch in a small village in Austria we departed in a large steamboat for a 10 - mile cruise down th Danube River castle area to Durnstein. We really felt we were in a dream world with all the beauty surrounding us on this boatride. On arrival in Durnstein we visited the Melk monastery, then on to Vienna for dinner and bed! TUESDAY, AUGUST 13 St. Stephen's Cathedral was our first stop in Vienna. The size and beauty of this church is just indescribable. We then toured the Shonbrunn Palace (only 51 of the .over 1,000 rooms including the famed Ceramic Room of
Princess Isabela of Parma), the gardens of the Belvedere Palace, and then enjoyed dinner in a typical little Bavarian Wine Garden in the little town of Grinsig . WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14 Leaving Vienna we returned back down the highway for a stay in Salzburg, which means (salt castle). Salzburg was founded in 696 A.D. and is aid to be the oldest city in Europe. Roads we travelled have been used since 500 B.C. We lunched at St. Peterskeller, the celler of an old monastery that had been converted to a restaurant. In the evening we walked along the river, enjoying the beautiful panorama of floodlights shining on the bluffs across the river and on the ancient buildings lining the streets. THURSDAY, AUGUST 15 One of our free mornings, we attended high mass complete with choir and orchestra in the Franciscan Church in Salzburg. We shopped the quaint old marketplaces and had lunch at at the Cafe Winkler, "the" place to be seen in Salzburg. The view from the mountaintop, where the cafe was situated, was breathtaking. After lunch there was a guided tour of the city, included in which were Mozart's birthplace and museum, famous St. Michael's Cathedral, the cemetery where scenses from "The Sound of Music" were filmed, and a 12th century castle. We rode our first cogwheel train up to Festung for dinner, again enjoying a panoramic view of the magnificant countryside. In the evening was a special treat, a music festival at Keller's Beer Hall with local folkdancing and Schulplatten and Tyrolean music. FRIDAY, AUGUST 16 We departed Salzburg at 7:30 a.m. for the long ride into Interlachen, Switzerland. But before leaving the city we visited the "Sound of Music" palace and gazebo. We passed the site of another Olmypic Winter Olympic Village and continued on through the high Alps of Austria to Innsbruck for lunch at the 17th century Goldener Adler (Golden Eagle) restaurant. Some time was spent in Innsbruck and cameras were clicking furiously, again. Then on through the Tyrolian area along the Inn River through an 8.2 mile tunnel (the trip through the tunnel was made because of a mountain storm which made the roads through the mountains dangerous). We can boast of being in Liechenstein for about an hour, this is the only principality in the world, is 60 square miles in size and has a population of 26,000! After passing through more beautiful mountains and miles and miles of forests, we arrived in Interlachen at 9:00 p.m. SATURDAY, AUGUST 17 After an early breakfast our bus left at 8:00 for Lucerne's shopping malls. The drive was so very pretty. Switzerland is dotted with large clear lakes fed by mountain streams. Ow highlight of the day was a visit up Mt Pilatus. We reached the 5,000 - foo, summit riding four - seater gondola cars gliding over meadows with cows and goats grazing contentedly, with bells around their necks sounding like church bells ringing. Unfortunately, the day was overcast and the mountain was enveloped in clouds more than half the trip. We lunched atop Mt.
Pilatus on the terrace, which descends the mountainside with a maximum gradient of 48 percent and is the steepest and longest cogwheel railway in the world. Our excursion ended with a steamboat trip back to Lucerne on Lake Lucerne and then by bus to Interlachen. Our evening was spent enjoying a fondue supper at Hotel Tell with musical entertainment furnished by a local accordion player and Arnold Vrla helped. SUNDAY, AUGUST 18 Today was spent leisurely, with everyone more or less going their own way. Many went to mass, many spent the day walking the streets of Interlachen, some visited an authentic 15th century Swiss village, complete with its thatched roofed homes with open hearths for cooking. Evening concluded with a sunset horse - drawn buggyride through the town. MONDAY, AUGUST 19 We left Switzerland for the famed Black Forest area in the southwest part of Germany. We followed the Rhine River north through Bern and Basel. The road led us through dense, dark pine forests up serpentine roads and atop the 5,000 - foot ridge of the filack Forest. Lunch stop was at Lake Titisee where we had smoked trout, the area's specialty. We completed a circle of Europe on our arrival at Weisbaden out of Frankfurt, our destination for the night. TUESDAY, AUGUST 20 We left our elaborate Hotel Oranien for the day to cruise the Rhine River to Rudesheim, a world - famous wine villge. The river was lined with castles and hundreds of vineyards boasting of the local growers' names in large letters on the sides of the hills. Then Friedrich met us with the bus at the end of our cruise and drove us up the hillside to German's famous Germania Monument, commemorating the final defeat of the Napoleonic armies by the German people. The monument was very impressive, having been constructed of metal from melted down cannonballs found in the fields after the battles. We returned down the hill via an open two - man gondola car skirting over the vineyards -Lunch was at fascinating! then we Rudesheimersch I asse , returned to Weisbaden. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21 Leaving Germany for Brussels this morning, we had to leave behind many beautiful memories and also our guide and bus driver for so many days. Our new bus was much larger and our driver, John, was from Amsterdam and would ably continue on for the rest of our tour. Our first stop was in Cologne with its magnificant Cathedral, the cornerstone for which was laid in 1248. The size of this church is just indescribable. The Cathedral has never really been completed. Weather decomposition damages have occurred over the years, and during World War II fourteen different explosive bombs hit the church. For some time there has been a saying in Cologne that "when the Cathedral is completed, the end of the world is at hand." The church was filled with local artisans, restoring paintings, altars, wood carvings, etc. We arrived at Brussels at 1:30 p.m. after lunch in Cologne, and immediately hit the lace shops after settling into our hotel. THURSDAY, AUGUST 22 Our Portuguese guide for the day (Zena), gave us a first - rate tour of Brussels, first visiting the 1958 World's Fair Grounds. The Opening gate was a model of a molecule 200 billion times normal. There we saw the Chinese and
Japanese pavilions. We then visited a lace factory and continued on the trip to Amsterdam. FRIDAY, AUGUST 23 Departed at 9:00 for a guided tour of Amsterdam. At one time the area had 30,000 windmills, but during World War II the Dutch used the angles of the windmill blades to send coded messages to the allies. The Nazis discovered this plot and bombed the windmills leaving only 300. Presently, there are approximately 1,000 and many in the restoration stage. Amsterdam is 9 feet below sea level, with much of the area being formed by constructing dikes and pumping the sea water off the land. We went to a wooden shoe factory also and watched the shoes being made. Also visited the Rijkmuseum and saw several original Rembrandt paintings. The homes and buildings in Holland are built on wooden piles driven into sand flats for support. The homes, apartments and streets are of brick, and after hundreds of years of settling these foundations have shifted and some of the homes sit at angles to each other. We also passed the site of the 1928 Summer Olympic Games and the home where Ann Frank hid out from the Nazis during the war. There are 3,000 permanent houseboats on the Amstel River in Amsterdam. As there are 120 canals in the city, this is not too hard to believe. At one time Amsterdam had 300 canals but with the influx of the automobile and other traffic, many of these canals were drained and made into streets. But the city still brags of 1,100 bridges and a subway system that is entirety under water. We also visited a diamond cutting and polishing factory and watched raw diamonds being made into beautiful finished products. Aftedinner we had a wonderful moonlight wine and cheese scenic cruise through the lighted canals. SATURDAY, AUGUST 24 At 1:00 we left for the authentically preserved Dutch fishing village of Volendam, where we visited a cheese factory and tasted fresh milk "straight from the cow." Then on to Zaandijk to visit a few of the working windmills left in Holland. SUNDAY, AUGUST 25 After a 5:00 breakfast at our airport hotel, our plane departed at 7:00 a.m. for the first leg of our journey home. Amsterdam's airport is the oldest commercial airport inthe world. After a second breakfast on the plane, we arrived at Frankfurt to change planes and leave wonderful Europe for our 9 hour, 15 - minute flight to Atlanta. Another meal -- lunch this time, at 11:30. At 5:45 we were once again served a cold plate of meat, cheese, strudel and wine. After an hour's layover in Atlanta we left for Big D (with another snack on the Dallas bound plane, of course). We landed promptly at 3:40 p.m. into the waiting arms of family and friends. The SIGHTS of Europe (snow covered mountains, beautiful Medieval villages with cobblestone streets, fine farmlands, clear rivers); the SOUNDS of Europe (church bells ringing daily, cowbells in the pastures, foreign languages, international music); the SMELLS of Europe (cheese factories, fresh mountain air, new mown hay, "agriculture," bakeries, incense); the FEEL of Europe (soft square feather pillows, featherbeds, cool nights, awkward cobbletones under your feet, rough toilet paper, hard church kneelers); the TASTES of Europe (roast duck, pigs knuckles, dumplings, cabbage salad, pancake soup, 400 different kinds of
Wednesday, October 2, 1985—VESTNIK/9
beer); the MYSTERIES of Europe (What money do we use today and what is its rate of exchange? How much does this toilet cost and how do you flush it?) -- all this and the First International World Folkdance Festival we had to leave behind. It is hard to believe that this fairytale trip really did occur, but the memories will remain etched in our minds for many years to come. Rose Ann Parma Helen Vrla

The State Youth Director
From
Dear Youth Leaders: The meeting suggestions for November focus on Thanksgiving. I've included a simple craft for your younger youth members, "Thankful Turkey." You may want to cut out and print the feathers beforehand or use all white paper and have the children color their turkeys. The Thanksgiving Spelling game, with lots of practice, would also be an appropriate program to perform for your lodge. Your teen members could make the letter signs and think of the words to be spelled. All the children could wear pilgrim hats and show off their spelling skills. There soon will be contests published in the Vestnik for different age groups. Some will be for 6 - 9 or 10 - 12. Please help your youth to understand that some of our youngest members aren't mature enough to complete the monthly Vestnik projects and need to have the opportunity to earn points in another manner. Each contest will state the age group it is for. There will be no points awarded to youth who are not included in the specified age group. Watch the Vestnik for a report of the youth completing contests. You may have noticed the new section in the Vestnik, "Hoo's Who in Youth." I would like to include all youth leaders in this new section. Please send the "Me Sketch" form to me, so I can include you. If you don't have a form, let me know', and I'll send you one. If you have any questions about points, YAD, meeting plans, etc., remember,I'm just a phone call away. Fraternally, Sue Meadows, SYD *** Thankful Turkey From colored construction paper cut a 6 - inch circle, five 9 - inch feathers, eyes and-a beak. Cut the turkey's head and neck from a color that contrasts with the body circle. Assemble the turkey by gluing eyes and beak to the head piece and the feathers to the back of the body. On the body write "I am thankful for .. . On each feather write the things that you are thankful for. Pilgrim Hat Centerpiece For the hat, you will need black and white poster board, black crepe paper and foam meat trays. Cut crown, brim and top in shapes and sizes as shown. For tabs, cut 1/2 inch slits in the top of the crown.

Then, cut a hat band from crepe paper for the crown. Roll the crown into an oval to fit top, gluing ends together. Bend tabs down and glue underneath top of hat. Set crown on brim. Cut buckle from white poster board and glue buckle to hat band. For "THANKS" cut letters from foam meat trays and glue in place. THANKSGIVING SPELLING Two groups of children. There are twelve in each group. They stand at opposite sides of the room. Each child wears a letter of bright orange paper. The letters are pinned on the front of dress or shirt. Each group, if the letters were in order, spells the word THANKSGIVING. But at the start of the game, the letters are all mixed up. The leader calls out a word, the letters
From The Youth Leaders Lodge 88 YC Has Charity Project Dear Members and Friends: The Lodge 88 Youth Club has really been busy. We are hard at work practicing Beseda because our Beseda dance groups will be going to the State Fair to dance. Our DYC Dorothy Pflughaupt will be taking them and she is putting them through their paces, working hard on our banner for our youth club, gathering aluminum cans towards our fund for our banner, working hard on our charity project of collecting the pull tabs from the cans. We turn them in to the American Legion; for every 1,000 pull tabs, a child'will get one hour's free use of a kidney machine. That is so, rewarding for the youth because they'art helping someone less fortunate. There are so
/1 1/2"
of which are contained in the above word, THANKSGIVING. The idea is to see which group can spell the word first. To spell it, the children wearing the needed letters leap out front and form into line in the proper formation, standing straight and tall. A point of score is won by the group who gets into line first and has the best posture. Words that may be used are hand, tin, tank, sin, sank, van, hank, tan, hat, tag. At the very last comes the grand climax. That is when the leader calls the word THANKSGIVING. Then there is an exciting moment until the big word has been spelled. The points are counted when the spelling is over and one or the other side declared winner. —SPJSTmany people at Lodge 88 helping our youth gather these pull tabs it makes you feel so good to know that they are behind the kids in this, charity project. While this may be a bit late, as the saying goes, "Better Late Than Never." Here is a photo of our lovely District V Queen Gwenda Wilson with District V Director Jerry Prpchazka who is always giving us words of encouragement. Thank you, Jerry. We also are looking forward to Czech Day at Lodge 88, October 27th busy, busy, busy, but that's what it is all about. Several of our youth participated in the "Womanless Wedding" at the District V meeting held at Lodge 88, Sunday, September 15; it was great-we had a lot of fun doing it.

According to Sweeten, recent research reported by the American Dietetic Association shows just how far off the mark our estimates of serving sizes can be. A standard serving of fruit and vegetables is one piece of fresh fruit, 1/2 cup juice, one medium - size potato or 1/2 cup cooked or raw vegetables. Most people consider a single piece of fresh fruit as a single serving. But when it comes to fruit juices they consume 3/4 cup or more as one serving. With dairy products, people under age 34 typically consume the recommended one cup per serving, but older adults consume 1/2 to 3/4 cup servings. The serving size for cheese and other dairy products was typically correct. The standard recommended serving size for meat, poultry and fish is 2 - 3 (continued on page 15—)

Odd(' Dopisovatela Tak V§elicos Aneika Hondkova Tak zase se stala stra gna tragedie kdy2 v Mexiku men to zemetleseni ye evrtek minuleho tYcine. Nejhorgi postihnute bylo mesto Mexico City kde bylo rozbourano asi 250 budov a pogkozene jegte mnohe jine. asi tfi tisice lidi zabito a pet tisic zraneno pii torn. Asi sedm hoteln porouchanYch a jeden kostel ph bohosluibach take mel nehodu kdy2 strop spadi dolii a poranil a zabil lidi. Bylo to stra gne kdy nekteli lids byli pohfbeni pod trosky ze sten a stfech a jeden elovek leiel tam 24 hodin nel jej vysvobodili. A plaeici deti kterjrm rodiee zemieli. Nejhor gi bylo to velke zemetleseni ye evrtek ale v patek bylo zase jine mengi a to nadelalo teZ trochu gkody. Lids kteti bydleli v apartmentech tak nemeli eas utect a byli pohfbeni. Mexico City ma asi 18 milionu lidi kteii tam bydli, a v nekterYch 'Casa budovy ktere mely 24 poschodi tak se sesuly na 3 poschodi a bylo to stra gne. Nemocnice vgude pine poranenYch a zde v na gi zemi Armada spasy ptipravovala tam odjet a vYpomoci Jim s lay a jinYm potfebnYm zboim a CervenY obstaraval zasobu krve pro poranene. I zde v Texasu pocitili nektere mista to zemetteseni, obzvla g te kolem Gainesville a Valley View, ale bylo trochu tfeseni a nic se nestalo. Mexiko ma letos dosti zle easy kdyi maji nouzi a vge ted' je gte museli za2it toto. Je to vge velice smutne a zdej gi lids kteli mail sve pfibuzne v Mexiku tak zaZili hrozne kdy nevedeli zda tito jsou Stale fikaji, Ze jegte moine bude vice tech mrtvYch a‘i v ge se vygetli. Nage Amerika jiste poda pomocnou ruku postflenemu Mexiku! AmerickY klub Skautit bude oslavovat 75 let sveho trvani. Toto je velmi znarnY klub pro hochy kterY se tegi velke oblibe zde v nagi zemi a je to dobrY spolek pro kaldeho hocha. Jiste Ze bude tato uddlost hodne oslavovana mezi lidem. Pfejeme vge dobre naddle. AmerickY po gtovni tilad vycla k tomu tieelu zvlagtni znamky. Jista banka zde v severni (a zamo‘inej gi) easti nageho mesta udelala new pro sve zamoZne zakazniky tim, Ze jim obstarala elovelca kterY kaldemu zaparkuje jejich auto aby oni se s tim nemuseli starat. Toti2 kaklY elen mine pfedat starost o auto tomu eloveku a on jim ho sam zaparkuje. Je to asi jedinY bank kterY new takoveho polada. Take pro zakazniky ktefi jsou pies 55 let a maii vklady na bance aspon 55 tisic dolarfi, tak jim obstard lecjake vyjaclky nekam a pozve je leckdy na seminars a jine veci jim pfipravi. Je to takovy klub pro stargi lidi a jiste pfipravi jim pobaveni. Co vge se nyni nedeld, Ze ano? Take Saudi Arabie pfipravila kontrakty, 2e sni2i cenu oleje na min net bYvalou cenu $28. za beeku oleje. Mnozi pledpovidaji, 2e budou vyrabet vice oleje at' je cena oleje jakakoliv. Saudi Arabie nyni vyrabi asi dva a pill milionu beeek oleje kaidY den a mohia by vyrobit 10 milonii beeek kdyby
druhe zeme dfieli se smlouvy jak slibili. Pry cena oleje bude hodne lacinejgi. Dovedela jsem se, ie v Austinu "I3ohyne Svobody" ktera je na vrchu statniho, kapitolu je nyni, opravovand nebot' je u2 97 let stars a nutne pry potiebuje opravy - obzvla gte kdy plig'tirn rokem budeme slavit 150 let osvobozeni od Mexika a je na mists aby vge bylo v prvotfidnim pofadku. Doufarne, tedy, 2e v ge se v eas vylidi k spokojenosti vgech Texanfi. Fordova tovarna na auta ma nyni starosti nebot' pies 5 tisic pracovnika glo na stavku jeliko2 auta z cizich zemi uglcodila zdej gim tovarnikum kdy tovarna nafidila aby mitt lidi pracovalo a museli dele pracovat se gkodou. Paid sem jsou posilane na prodej auta lacinej gi z cizich zemi a to gkodi americkYrn tovarnikam a pak tee delnikum. Kdovi, jak to bude dale pozdeji. Podzim oficielne zaeind 22. zafi a jeliko1 letos bylo hodne sucho tak v severnich statech prY letos bude meneni barev stromovi trochu dlive nee bYva jindy. Take pry barvy asi nebudou tak zabarvene jak jindy je tomu. Ja si pamatuji kdy jsme s bratrem jezdivali do statu Arkansasu v iijnu tak krasne bylo to zabarveni vgech stromit tam -to` bylo jak kdy malif to namaluje. Vzpominame na ty doby easto. Americka vlada grave nyni vydava zlate a stlibrne penize zvane "Dvojite zlate orly". Toto jsou nove penize zvlagf vydane ktere maji ty orly na obou stranach penez. Tel budou vydane zvlagtni znamky k tomu Kaicijr mute zakoupit jen dva penize a ty stfibrne jsou o trochu vet gi nein americkY dolar. Stfibrne stoji $30.00 a $1.85 pogtovne a zlate 14. karatove penize stoji $165.00 a $3.00 pogtovne. AmerickY orel je 200 let stars a jiste nekteli lids si zakoupi tyto na pamatku toho orla. Delnici UAW (autovjrch pracovnikn) vygli na stavku (asi 5 tisic jich v Detroit, Michiganu). V tact tovarne delnici vyrabeli tanky pro Armadu americkou minulY tYclen a nemohou se jaksi shodnout a ovgem stavka jim hodne ugkodi kdy se nepracuje. Budeli stavka treat dlouho tak to bude zip pro kalcleho. Snad to brzy nejak skonei aby v ge zas bylo lepgi. V pdtek minuleho tYdne jista matka stala se svYm tli-letem hochem venku u jedne budovy kde eekala na sveho manZela a pfijelo auto s muiskjim a dve'ma 2enami. MO gel po ulici prye ale Zeny sly k to matce a zaealy se s ni tahat a jedna rychle popadla hocha a utikala s hochem do auta a druha tee a pak ujely prye a kus dale vzaly mute do auta a dodnes se nevi kam hocha odvezli. Uvedomili policii a ta nyni patra po diteti. Je to ale u2 hrozne takovy veci se mohou stat na velejnern mists. Rekly Zeny Ze jedna ztratila sve dite, tedy asi chtela si ho nahradit -- ale co ta matka bude ted' Mat jestli hocha nenajdou? Je to stra gne co se nyni de'je vgude ye svete! 1.11 oznamovali, 2e nyni auta budou dregi o kolik procent, takie cena bude o kolik set draZ gi a ty vetgi a lepgi auta budou a2 o devet set vice. To pak, ui se tfeba nebude tolik aut prodavat jak tomu dosud bylo, 2e ano? Mara jegte
by cizi pajdou lepe na odbyt kdy2 jsou lacinej gi ale bude to v gelijake pro americke auta a tovarny. Prave co pi gu, tyto zpravy tak oznamovali na televizi, ze ten malt' hoch kterY byl unesen tlemi lidmi kdy jej jeho matce vytrhli z narue'i, tak byl nalezen a vracen svYm rodicum a nic se mu nestalo zleho. Unosci byli vgichni zateeni a budou souzeni skrze to, co zleho ue'inili. je tomu 147 let kdy indianskY kmen Cherokee, kterY Zil v Severni Karoline a Georgii musel opustit sve domovy tam a vydat se na cestu do jine easti ktera nyni je Oklahoma. To bylo v 1838-1839 a tehdy glo pegky 16 tisic Indianii a behem cesty asi 4 tisice jich zemfelo titrpenim. Nyni u2 mnoho se zmenilo a easto oznamuji, 2e v Oklahome je mnoho to indianske historie a zvou lid, aby pfijel se tam podivat. V meste Tahlequah je museum a stars vesnice kde mo2no spatfit lecktere zajimavosti. Kolem dokola to easti je je gte hodne toho k uvideni. Vim to, nebot' s bratrem jsem tam byla mnohokrate. General Sam Houston kterY byl ndeelnikern armady ktera zvitezila nad Mexikem, mel za manielku Indianku kmene Cherokee a spolii dlouho tam v Oklahome, a ona je tam pohibena. Je gte jinde v Oklahome jsou zajimava mista a mnoho by zajimalo lidi z Ameriky a hlavne z Texasu. Dovedela jsem se, ie jisty American v Ennis, Tx., napsal pane pojednani o nagich eeskYch plistehovalcii, ktefi pied lety se usadili v torn meste. Ennis byl zalo2en v 1872 a v 1876 krajan Vaclav Hagkovec pfijel tam, o2enil se sl. Krajeovou a on postavil prvni pesky domov asi dve mile na vYchod od mesta. Meli velkou rodinu a dosud jeho potomci tam Zijou. V 1874 plijeli druzi krajani a v 1875 je gte jini a v 1880 a 1881 zase a mesto rostlo. Ten pan Fincher dal velke uznani pfistehovalcum a diky za to, 2e pomahali budovat osadu. Je gte musim sant, 2e v 1892 pfijely dve rodiny do Ennis a sice muj de'deeek a babieka Houdkovi s dvema hochy a madiele Frank Petrovi s nekolika cletmi a 2ili na farmach a pracovali pro dobro osady. Vgichni Ceii z Cech a Moravy udelali moc pro sve mesto a jiste si peknY elanek zaslou2ili. Mnoho na gich krajanit dosud 2'ije tam a pracuji vespolek pro vge dobre. Pfeji jim v gem vgeho dobreho naddle. Jegte musim pochvalit na ge krajany v Ennis, ze nyni tito zaujimaji tam dobra mista v tifadech, v bankach, na pogte, maji sve obchody a mesto nyni polad roste. Jsou tam etyli krasne sine kde se den schazeji, jsou rdzne spolky a co zalidili Ce gi ten Polka Festival tak to moc pomohlo mestu finanene a lid odevgad tam na to pliji2di kahlYm rokem.

(continued from page 12...) ounces. Men generally exceed this amount per serving. There was also some variation in serving size according to the product, with the average serving size for beef at about 4 ounces, and 2 ounces for pork. For breads and cereals, one slice of bread, one ounce of cereal or '/2 cup of pasta or rice equals one standard serving. Yet people typically eat two slices of bread and one cup of rice or pasta per serving. They also tend to eat one-cup servings of cereals when the recommended serving size of one ounce may be more or less than a cup, depending on the density of the cereal. Unless you are willing to weigh and measure your food, it can be difficult to follow food guidance programs based on standard servings, says Sweeten. To make it work, you may need to consider the total recommended amount of foods from any one group for the day and then keep track of what you eat in terms of the serving sizes you ordinarily use, she advises. For example, you might eat one ounce of bacon at breakfast and a 4 - 5 ounce serving of beef at dinner. That would be less than the standard serving at breakfast and more at dinner, but the total would add up to 5 - 6 ounces, which is the same as the two recommended 2 - 3 ounce standard servings of protein foods for the day. -SPJST-

We are working very hard to retain our tax-exempt status as a fraternal benefit Society. We will continue doing so. We believe that the decade of the 80's and 90's will see many changes with respect to the fraternal System and the insurance industry in general. We intend to ACT to conform with the changes, not REACT. We have inaugurated many innovations. We have completely computerized our operations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but we are determined to maintain and strengthen the basic concepts of fraternalism. We are a Society that listens to its members and we still impart the human touch to everything we do. Come on, 80's . . our membership is ready for you!
