Your editor visited the Supreme Lodge third quarterly meeting Tuesday, October 8 and, while there, visited with the SL Fraternal Committee comprised of SL President Howard Leshikar, SL Legal Advisor Sidney Kacir and Directors Ben Trcalek and Thelma Hrncir. The editorial, some time ago, mentioned that our SPJST Society will be raising money from September 1 to December 31, 1985 for the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. The SPJST, through the Supreme Lodge, has committed $2,500 to that cause and has received $175 in gifts for that purpose thus far.

The Supreme Lodge officers have figured that with 56,000 members, our SPJST, (at 10 cents per member) can raise $5,600; that plus the $2,500 makes a total of $8,100. We also will have an HONOR ROLL of lodges in a column when they have reached a 100 percent participation in the program.

For instance, if a lodge has 500 members, juvenile or adult, and that lodge sends $50 (10 cents per member), the lodge will be entered on the HONOR ROLL COLUMN. The donations can be made by the members, youth club, the lodge itself, etc. to reach the total, so COME ON, let us reach the top and "Light The Torch "

The presidents of the lodges will be receiving letters from SL President Howard Leshikar in the near future about this. Which lodge will be first to get on the Honor Roll? ***

Louisiana in July became the 14th state to mandate the use of seat belts in automobiles. Other states that have passed seatbelt laws recently are: Connecticut, Hawaii, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Texas.

The first state to pass such a law was New York, followed by New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico, Missouri and Indiana. ***

Your home may not be as safe as you think; approximately 5,000 people die each year in residential fires. To help homeowners protect their dwellings and families, the firm publishes a free brochure, "12 Tips to Safeguard Your Home Against Fire."

For a copy, write: 12 Tips -- Fire, Liberty Mutual, PO Box 777A, Boston, Mass. 02116. ***

Door - to - door sales representatives around the country are offering home delivery of frozen food in quantity.

The service can be a convenience for many households, but there have been complaints: The potential savings were misrepresented, the food did not last as long or it was lower in quality and higher in price than expected. Anyone considering signing up for such a plan may want to see a new booklet, "Tips on Freezer Food Plans (& Buying Beef in Bulk)." For a copy, send 25 cents and a self - addressed, stamped, business - size envelope to the Council of Better Business Bureaus, Suite 300, 1515. Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22209. ***

'Not until first frost will hay - fever sufferers see the end of their allergies and the uncomfortable symptoms -sneezing; stuffed - up, itchy and runny nose; itchy and swollen eyes; scratchy, wheezing throat. To minimize discomfort, the allergy clinic at Georgetown University Medical Center suggests: Keep windows closed and the air conditioner on. After being outside a long time, wash your hair to rid it of pollen. Take over - the counter antihistamines or decongestants to relieve symptoms. If needed, more potent medications, including allergy shots to build up immunity, can be prescribed by a physician. ***

College students and their parents can expect the expenses of attending school to climb an average 7 percent in the 1985 - 86 year, according to the College Board's annual survey of 3,000 institutions. The total cost -including tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, personal expenses and transportation -- will average $5,314 at four - year public colleges and $9,659 at four - year private schools. At two - year public colleges, costs will rise to $3,627. ***

When a marriage breaks up, one of the most painful issues to be settled is: Do the children go with the father or the mother?

Once custody has been established, it's a criminal offense in about half of the states for a noncustodial parent to abduct his or her child. Usually, the crime is a misdeameanor. But in some states, it becomes a felony if the child is removed from the state, is injured or is kept beyond a certain length of time.

In 1980, Congress ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation to help track down parental child snatchers. It also authorized use of the Federal Parent Locater Service, previously used only to find parents who had not paid child - support payments, to run down parental abductors. ***

As a result of a new safety standard adopted by chainsaw manufacturers, kickback injuries involving such saws eventually should be reduced by 70 to 80 percent, says the Consumer Product Safety Commission. There were 22,000 kickback - related injuries in 1982. The new standard limits to 45 degrees the maximum kickback angle allowed for the gasoline - powered saws most often bought by consumers. Saws also must be equipped with a front hand guard and have two separate safety features, such as low - kickback chains, chain brakes or reduced - kickback guide bars.

Consumers with older chain saws may wish to consider retrofitting their saws with one of the new low kickback replacement chains and low kickback bars. An estimated 18 million saws are in use. ***

The San Antonio Choral Club Will Participate At Praha, Texas

Veterans Memorial Service November 10 At Praha, Texas The annual veterans memorial service at Praha, Texas will be held November 10 at 10:30 a.m. This year it will be dedicated to Father Marcus Valenta and all the veterans of all wars who gave their supreme sacrifice for their country.

The Confederate Air Force will participate in the memorial service.

The Pearl Harbor survivors will lead the congregation in the Pledge of Allegiance in English. The San Antonio Czech Choral Club will lead the congregation in the Pledge of Allegiance in Czech; also another patriotic song will be sung in the Czech language.

West Prepares For Sesquicentennial Year The Sesquicentennial Committee of West, Texas was sanctioned by the Texas Commission in April 1984. The master plan includes many activities to be co - sponsored with the Westfest Association and presented during the Westfest weekend in August 1986.

The major project, however, of the West Sesquicentennial Committee is the establishment of a Library Museum facility for the citizens of West. There are many pioneer families in the community who possess articles of historical significance, and they should have an appropriate facility in which to display and share these articles with all the people. A public museum is an ideal place for such a purpose. To obtain some working capital for this project, the West Sesquicentennial Committee is selling the West Heritage Cookbook, a collection of more than 700 recipes submitted by 200 plus contributors.

Many of these recipes are traditional Czech family recipes passed down from generation to generation. The cookbook is an ideal gift for weddings, birthdays, and the Christmas season.

A prepayment of $12 will cover the cost of a cookbook and all shipping charges. Your orders sent to A.W. Marchak, 408 North Main Street, West, Texas 76691, will be filled immediately. (817 - 826 - 5840) A.W. Marchak Lodge 36, West Member —SPJST-

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES

October 3, 1985 Mr. Rudy J. Sefcik Editor PO Box 85 West, Texas 76691 Dear Mr. Sefcik: My office just received a copy of the enclosed press release detailing the efforts of two Vietnam combat veterans, Michael J. Martin and Tim Holiday.

Martin and Holiday have organized a march for veterans from Dallas to The Alamo. The march is a grassroots effort meant to express, in a patriotic and positive way, the viewpoint of Vietnam veterans, their families, and the families of POW /MIAs.The march travels down I - 35 and through the Heart of Texas.

Since the undertaking hopes to convey a message of caring and healing to each other, the community and the nation, I thought you might want to share it with our readers.

Yours very truly, Marvin Leath Member of Congress and Member of SPJST Lodge 47

At the laying of the wreaths at the veterans' graves, the Choral Club will sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic in English.

During the conclusion of the memorial service, the Choral Club will lead the congregation in singing the beautiful song, God Bless America.

Chairman Ernest Chaloupka extends an invitation on behalf of the Praha residents to each and everyone.

The public is invited to attend this memorial service.

Dominic Netek, Reporting• —SPJST--

October 19, 1985, two decorated Vietnam combat veterans, Michael J. Martin and Tim Holiday, will lead a march of Vietnam veterans some 300 miles to The Alamo, carring the POW flag, the Flag of Texas and the American flag. The march, named "A Journey to Remember," will span a month, culminating in the observance of Veterans Day (November 11, 1985) with the raising the POW flag at The Alamo.

The march is organized by Martin and Holiday to heighten public awareness of the plight of POW/MIAs and their families, to honor Vietnam veterans and to benefit the Fund for the Texas Vietnam Veterans' Vlemorial to be erected at Fair Park in

broadbased, grassroots following nationwide among veterans. Two- of their sons, "Who Are the Names on the Wall?" and "I Ain't Here Alone" have become anthems of Vietnam veterans from New York to Phoenix.

Holiday and Martin have entertained before thousands at the 1985, Memorial Day celebrations in New York City and Chicago and taken part in the New York Memorial Day parade at which one million people lined the streets to cry and cheer. As part of Memorial Day observances this year in Washington, D.C., Tim Holiday received two awards from the Veterans Administration for the best patriotic song and best country - western performance of a song about The Wall, the National Vietnam Veterans Monument in the nation's Capitol.

"A Journey to Remember" has received the support and cooperation of the Dallas Vet Center and numerous State and Regional veterans' groups in Texas and elsewhere.

At the end of each day of the march, marchers will light a campfire, post heir flags at half mast, and stand vigil --echoing the theme of one of Martin's own songs (The Three of Us), "keep the vigil -- there's one patrol still out."

As Martin and Holiday play their music along the route, they will honor the "unsung heroes" of the war, as well as nationally known Vietnam veterans. Among the latter are Billy Callaghan, "The Walking Man," a former paraplegic veteran who is at this moment walking from Florida to The AlamO and Sammy Davis, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, whose name has been submitted for a Pulitzer Prize for his

Originating at Fair Park, the march will proceed to the Texas Book Depository Building where veterans will honor the memory of President John F. Kennedy. From there, marchers will walk to San Antonio (The Alamo), averaging 15 miles per day, joined on foot or wheelchair by vets in every town through which they pass. The route (details enclosed) includes small Texas towns such as Waxahachie, Milford and Abbott, as well as cities like Waco and the State Capitol in Austin. At each stop, they will join in welcoming ceremonies with local veterans and veterans' organizations. For many such veterans this will represent the first time anyone has officially welcomed them home.

Michael J. Martin and Tim Holiday are songwriters and entertainers who have devoted their post - Vietnam lives to performing about and for Vietnam veterans. They have developed a

6/VESTNiK—Wedneeday, October 16,198.1

stirring speech about the Vietnam veteran. Both of these men have enthusiastically endorsed and promoted the October march.

Utilizing the legacy of The Alamo, Martin and Holiday hope to continue the process of healing the scars of the Vietnam war, emphasizing the symbolic kinship felt by Vietnam veterans for the men who fell at The Alamo. The entertainers' part in this healing process has included having had their music credited with saving the lives of several suicidal veterans. It

is their hope that this healing process will include those non - veterans who can finally say, "welcome home." As Michael Martin puts it, non - veterans "need to say it as much as we need to hear it. We are finally cleansing the wound. Now it can begin to heal."

"I don't need no parades I don't need no forgiveness, I just need to know that I ain't here alone."

Texans Of Czech 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 eeskeho 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 will be highly dependent on them and their members for fulfillment of its objectivities.

TOCA's master plan has been submitted to and sanctioned by the Texas Sesquicentennial Commission.

An article appearing in the June 1985 TEXAS NATIONAL DISPATCH (the newspaper of the Texas 1986 Sesquicentennial Commission) commended Texans of Czech Ancestry and reported on their comprehensive plans, in hopes that other ethnic groups around the state might benefit from the information in drawing up their own plans.

The Czech plan for 1986 is simple but comprehensive. One of its goals is to obtain recognition for the achievements and contributions of Texans of Czech ancestry to the State of Texas.

The Sesquicentennial project is being administerd by a director and Executive Committee of Czech ethnic specialists throughout Texas.

The group has begun stage one which involves a campaign to

communicate its enthusiastic plans and goals to all Texans of Czech Ancestry.

The ambitious plans will go into full swing upon completion of the selection of statewide project coordinators and local organizational and area representatives from many areas of Texas.

Blaha and Chervenka stressed that the success of the project will depend most greatly on the participation and work of TOCA project workers in the Czech communities of Texas.

Some of the TOCA projects are publishing of community histories, compilation and publication of a comprehensive pioneer history, research and publication of histories of Czech pioneer schools, placing of historical markers, and listing and cleaning up of cemeteries containing pioneer Czech ancestors.

Also, programs of Czech music and culture will be held over the state; Czech families will be encouraged to compile family histories; a book of Czech autobiographies published in 1936 for the Texas Centennial will be updated; Czech festivals and gatherings will be encouraged to adopt the Sesquicentennial as their theme.

Fraternally, Leonard D. Mikeska TOCA Communications and Publicity Officer ***

StSiN081111/4 'MANE CESKEHO PCIVODU So many kinds of people have contributed to the history and heritage of our state. In celebrating our cultural inheritance in 1986, it would be a shame to leave out anyone. The Texane Ceskeho Ptivodu (Texans of Czech 'Descent) have a plan for Sesquicentennial activities which is so comprehensive that we decided to summarize it here in hopes that other ethnic groups around the state might benefit from the information in drawing up their own plans.

Organization -- The 'Texane eeskeho Piwodu Sesquicentennial Project is administered by a director under the guidance of a steering committee composed of representatives from (1) various Czech organizations and institutions and from (2) ten regions across the state.

Projects -- Ten projects have been planned, and each is managed by a project committee. Each committee has an activity coordinator who reports to the project director; who coordinates all the activities across the state. The projects are: 1. Every Czech community will compile and publish a history of their community.

•

•

Wednesday, October 16, 1985---VESTNiK/7 2. Descriptions of Czech ancestors will be compiled and published in a comprehensive pioneer registry.; 3. Historical markers, both from the state and local groups, will be placed at sites significant to Czech history.

4. Cemeteries containing pioneer Czech and Moravian ancestors will be cleaned up and inventoried.

5. The history of Czech pioneer schools will be researched and published.

6. Symposia on Czech music and other aspects of Czech cultural life will be held around the state in 1986.

7. Czech churches will compile and publish their histories.

8. Czech families will be encouraged to compile their family histories.

9. A book of Czech autobiographies published in 1936 for the Texas Centennial will be updated and reprinted.

10. All Czech festivals and gatherings in 1986 will have the Sesquicentennial as their theme.

Texane Cesheho Pilvodu also has a Publicity Committee which received news from the project committees and disseminates it for them. For more information on the Czech project, contact Jeanne Jacques, Czech Heritage Society, 500 E. Riverside, #253, Austin, Texas 78704.

Other groups have submitted wonderful plans for the Sesquicentennial, but the Czech plan prepared by retired engineer Albert J. Blaha, Sr., is so simple and yet so comprehensive that we thought it might inspire others who would like the achievements and contributions of their group to the State of Texas recognized in 1986. If we can help you get organized, contact our office, the Texas Sesquicentennial Commission, Box 1986, Austin , Texas 78767.

Education Leaders Focus On School Safety

National

School safety and The newsjournal's cover and Sacramento improved discipline are critical issues contents highlight "America's Year of to address as this school year begins, School Safety & Student Attendance," according to a series of articles from an observance sponsored by the key national educators published in the Center, state governors and students Fall 1985 issues of School Safety, the nationwide. The goal of the sponsors newsjournal of the National School during the 1985 - 86 school year is to increase public awareness and Safety Center.

involvement in campus crime and drug abuse prevention, improved discipline, and increased attendance.

"Many' schools have existing safety programs, but they need conscientious application and maintenance throughout the school year," says George Nicholson, the Center's director and chief counsel.

October 20 - 26 will be observed as the first "America's Safe Schools Week." A specially created "American Apple," which features a waving American flag shaped into the form of apple to represent education, is displayed on various printed material to symbolize the two events.

Articles by Mary Futrell, president of the National Education Association; Albert Shanker, president of the American Federation of Teachers; and Ann Kahn, president of the National PTA, are featured in School Safety. Each of these national education leaders validates the precept that clearly articulated and consistently administered discipline is vital to safe, productive learning climates.

Our schools are no longer "characterized as blackboard jungles," says NEA's Futrell.

"Within our schools, climate is everything. Order, discipline and civility are the offspring of an effectively managed and intellectually alive classroom."

Although, for some, "school safety" and "discipline" elicit images of corporal punishment for misbehaving students, PTA President Ann Kahn disagrees. "On the contrary, the purpose of discipline should be to guide children toward acceptable behavior and to teach them to make wise and responsible decisions. Discipline helps children to learn to think in an orderly fashion and to understand the logical consequences of their actions," says Kahn.

Also cited in the newsjournal's "global perspective on discipline" section are results of a recent Gallup Poll that indicate the American public continues to regard discipline as the most important problem facing the public schools. U. S. News and World Report's recent education survey also indicates about 14 percent (or 5.8 million of the nation's approximately 42 million) students consider discipline as the "single most important action my school could take to improve my education."

Still another August 1985 poll by the National Association of Secondary School Principals reports as many as 16 percent (5,600) of their 35,000 members say discipline is the number one problem facing our schools.

Another 19 percent (or about 6,650) of the, principals rate attendance as the most significant problem.

"While public opinion polls, news articles, government officials, educators and law enforcers prompt some continued debate as to the significance and scope of school safety and discipline issues," says NSSC's Nicholson, "We are saying let's set aside our differences and agree there are some problems."

AFT's. Shanker agrees, "There is no single panacea, and some of the most innovative solutions to the disruption of schooling come only when the many parties involved can talk, listen and approach the problems with an eye for each other's perspectives."

"We can also agree sate schools are necessary to insure the safety and well being of all our children aiult the quality of their education," says Nicholson. "With these common

1985—vgsmitu11

interests, we can then join forces to help the future leaders of the country-the 42 million students -- by officially observing and supporting "America's Year of School Safety & Student Attendance" and "America's Safe School Week."

Item

Of Interest Shopping For A Manufactured Home The first stop in shopping for a singlewide or do ublewide manufactured home shouldn't be a sales lot, but the land you intend to put it on, says a TAMU Agricultural Extension Service housing specialist.

Don't put money down or sign an agreement on a manufactured home before you have a contract with a park or subdivision, or you have purchased your own land, cautions Dr. Jane Berry.

Otherwise:you run the risk of having a house that doesn't fit the lot, or being unable to put the house where you want to live.

Since a manufactured home can be the most expensive consumer product you buy, next to a conventional home, the specialist recommends careful comparison shopping.

First check out the reputation of the sealer, says. Berry. The dealer's assistance, service and care -- or lack of it will have a great affect on your satisfaction with the manufactured home.

She suggests checking the dealer's reputation with a local credit bureau, Better Business Bureau, or bank.

As you look at manufactured homes, consider both price and financing, says the specialist.

Dealer financing is often the auickest and easiest, but comparison shopping among the dealer, your bank, savings and loan association or credit union for the best financing option can save you money in the long run, remarks Berry.

Also determine the services you will receive, says the specialist.

Find out what type of delivery, setup and leveling services are offered by the dealer, advises Berry. Ask who will make needed repairs during the warranty period and check to see if the home can be releveled after six months if this is necessary.

The service provisions of the sales contract should be an important part of your' buying decision .and a basis for comparison among dealers, she remarks.

The housing specialist also points out that repossessed or foreclosed manufactured homes can be a good buy for consumers on a tight budget and those who can't qualify for credit on a new manufactured home.

But beware of any pressure tactics to get you to purchase a new or used manufactured home, cautions Berry.

High pressure tactics often indicate a phony deal, so don't be pushed into buying just because the dealer claim's someone else is interested in the home or the price is going up next week, she adds.

Notes: 1.

Napsala nam, jestli nechceme pfijet uz tuto nedeli. (She wrote us if we do not want to come already this Sunday.)

Attributive clauses are used after nouns and are introduced either by relative pronouns or by conjunctions. a) Ozvalo se zaklepani a ye dvehch se objevil bratr Vaclav, o nemZ jsme radu let nesly§eli. (...brother V., of whom we haven't heard for years.)

Pfi§el nas nav§tivit nekdo, koho jsme dlouho nevideli. V§ichni lide, co jsme potkavali, se na nas usmIvali. b) Mam neprijemnjr dojem (impression), ie jsme na neco zapomneli.

Doma nas eekala zprdva (message), ze babieka pfijede ai prigti nedeli. Mam radost, ze se yam tady libilo. Babieka mela starost, aby se &tem nic nestalo.
