'Editor COMMENTS

The Award was presented by Harvey 8acque (Knights of Columbus), chairman of the Fraternalist of the Year Award Committee who said of Koehler, "There isn't too much that Emmet Koehler isn't involved in in his community." ***

The NFCA Centennial Committee announced plans for the 1986 Centennial Celebration in "Joining Hands To Touch Lives" Washington, D.C., September 25 - 28, 1986, to be held at the JW Marriott Thought for the Day Hotel.

During the course of the convention, a Resolution was unanimously adopted objecting to the proposal and urging members of the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee to retain the tax exemption for all fraternal benefit societies.

Once again it is necessary for all member - societies to contact the members of the Ways and Means Committee. This can best be done by your membership. *** Statistics on the Statue of Liberty -Ellis Island Restoration Campaign are not available at this time. An updated report will be printed at a later date. *** The 1985 "Fraternalist of the Year" Award was presented to Emmet Koehler of West Lafayette, Indiana by the NFCA during the banquet at its 99th Annual Meeting on Tuesday, October 1, 1985, in the Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mr. Koehler was honored in recognition of his volunteer work as a member of the Greater Beneficial Union of Pittsburgh. He has been president of his local lodge since 1969 and has been successful in motivating more than 40 percent of his lodge to participate on a regular basis in fraternal assistance projects.

One such project is the Mid - North Indiana Food Finders, Inc., a group which collected nearly 500,000 pounds of food from grocery stores, restaurants and private donors during 1984. He is also active in the Lafayette Urban Ministry and the Hearts for the Humane Society, an organization founded by his wife which raises funds to help cover the cost of having pets from poor families spayed and neutered.

A word of warning about those dial - a - message services that are catching on around the country: If you aren't careful, they can put a sizable dent in your budget. It's possible to dial up anything from children's stories and stock reports to soap operas, etc.

Many of the services are listed in the phone - directory white pages under "Dial." Charges range from 50 cents to $2 per call. Reports are proliferating about kids who make hundreds of calls to such services to the surprise of their parents, who get stuck with big bills.

If you are a witness to a life threatening emergency, such as a criminal attack, car wreck or natural disaster, are you legally obligated to help the victim? Only four states -Vermont, Rhode Island, Minnesota and Hawaii -- have laws to prosecute and fine bystanders who fail to help out in emergencies. To encourage individuals to get involved, all states have enacted "good Samaritan" laws.

These exempt those who try to help strangers from being faced with legal liability in case something goes wrong as a result of their efforts. In addition, 38 states have reduced liability for medical personnel. *** Normally, interest paid on a loan doesn't qualify as a deduction on your tax return if the proceeds from the loan are used to buy tax - exempt bonds. But the Internal Revenue Service recently made an exception. If a taxpayer sells his principal residence and invests the proceeds in tax exempt municipal bonds, the interest on any mortgage to build a future house is deductible. The IRS decision applies only to a new residence_thatis more expensive than the old one and is financed entirely with a mortgage. If construction starts no more than two years before the first house is sold and is completed within two years of the closing date, an individual can defer gains from the sale, get tax - free income and deduct the mortgage interest. ***

Annuity Interest Rate - Good News!

The SPJST has increased the interest rate on annuities to 10 percent. The new 10 percent rate will be effective on November 1, 1985. This will make our annuity program even more attractive and highly competetive. Our annuities can be used for both IRA and non IRA accounts.

The Mortgage Interest Rate interest for home loans/owner operated farm loans has been set at 11 'h percent. Commercial property loans must be secured by land and buildings

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?

Presiding over the convention was Mr. Peter Daly, executive vice president of the Independent Order of Foresters, Toronto, Canada.

The convention theme was "Changing to Meet the Changing Needs of Fraternalists." In selecting it, Mr. Daly states that "In North America, we live in a constantly changing environment. The National Fraternal Congress and everyone of its member societies must constantly review their aims and objectives to ensure they continue to meet the needs of their members."

Announcements were made regarding the WFLA Celebration for November 10 at the Catholic Czech Club, the Fraternal Council meeting October 23 at the SPJST Lodge 84 hosts are WOW. We-further discussed our Christmas Party and it was decided that we bring a money donation with us to the party so that we can help a needy family during the Holiday Season. Bertha Podhrasky stated that the Christmas tree would be put up in time for the party and she asked that we think about what menu preference we would like for the dinner so that we can decide at our November meeting and let the caterer know.

President Zvolanek had programs for the Czech Day at the State Fair.

Czech Christmas cards were also available to purchase.

Liddie Pavelka donated all the profits from the planter baskets to our circle. This is very much appreciated by all of us. We sang "Happy Birthday" to sisters celebrating October birthdays, and then enjoyed singing "Cervena sukynka."

Did those of you who attended Czech Day at the Fair enjoy yourselves? It was a very-nice day with weather cooperating with us. The program was enjoyable, food was good, and the best part, as always, was visiting with our friends and making new acquaintances. There were beautiful Czech "kroje" to observe and, of course, the little children always steal the show; they are our future generation of Czechs who will most likely someday be our officers of the Czech societies.

The King and Queen for the Day this year were none other than my dad, Jerry Urban and my aunt, Rose Urban. My dad has been so patiently waiting for this honor all these years. I. don't think he has ever missed a Czech Day at the State Fair, so I feel he was a very deserving recipient of this award.

I know it was special to him when I noticed the tears in his eyes.

To all the speakers, announcers, entertainers, workers, committee

chairman, a most sincere THANK YOU for making CZECH DAY this October 6 a very pleasant day to remember.

Now it's time to move on and enjoy the Fall Harvest Season and the approaching Holiday Season. Be sure and get that pumpkin carved and set it out on the porch for all the little goblins or just put a pumpkin or two in your flower garden. It adds beautiful color anywhere you put them. One lady even made hanging baskets from small pumpkins on her porch.

Sure hope to see everyone at our November 7 meeting.

Nage dlouholeta pritelkvne pani Mina Kueerova z Arabamy- me poslala vSrstrilek z novin kde bylo psano o tom jejich "Heritage Day" v Alabarnetoto bylo cele Ceske. Lide byli v krojich, tanCily se taneely deti a stariI zas Besedu a meli tee ozdobenST vim s Ces14rm a anglickStm vysvetlenim na tom voze. Velice se to nil° v gem a dostalo se jim hodne potlesku. Na vozu bylo asi 25 lidi a byl tam pani Kueerove jeji mladST vnuk Michal a na obrazku se vie pane vyjimalo. Take byl prilolen x/Tstrilek o sbiree pani Kueerove. Ona toti2 ma 150 panenek v krojlch z celeho sveta. Kdyi odjildela do Ameriky v 1921 tak mela nektere panenky ale le je nemohla vzit sebou tak to dala sestrenici a v Americe nebyly na to pak penize. M se vdala tak zaCala shanet panenky a hatkovat jim gaty-- nektere jsou a2 tri stopy vysoke a nekdy je ukazuje lidem, aby Tide vedeli neco 0 jejim domove v Cgl. Jiste tato sbirka je

velice pekna a zajimava a dekuji pani KuCerove za zaslani vSfstrilku abych to videla.

Jista l'enska ye vSichodnim Texasu byla uznana., le zastrelila sveho pateho manlela a pohrbila jej u sveho domova, kde byl pohrben je gte take evrt3'7 mug . Tohoto pry ten zabila kdy spal.

Ona to vie svadela na sve le oni zabili jejiho man2e1a, jell& se vynaglo le ona sama vraldy vykonala a lhala. Natal Mali, le pry chtela ziskat pojigteni, jell& to ji dosud nemohli dokazat, jelikol chtela 2adat o to poji'teni zrovna kdy2 tela jejich byla nalezend. Myslim, le ji to asi gpatne dopadne za tak hnusnSr le ano?

Kdy2 jsem byla v Ennis tak jsem se dovedela, 2e v Kalifornii zemrela pani Emma Hubdelova (rozend Caltova) kterou jsem znala pied lety. V Ennis byli Caltovi al do 1939 a pak se odstehovali do Kalifornie. Byla 84 lets a mantel Jan HubaCek zernrel v 1948.

Zanechala 4 dcery a dva syny, 14 vnouCat a 17 pra-vnoueat. Pohrbend byla tam v Kalifornii. Ul je to dlouho co odjeli z Ennis ale snad jegte nekdo lije kdo ji znal. Necht' odpoeiva v pokoji.

Prave co toto dopisuji tak oznamovali, le to 2ena ktera byla uznana zabila dva ze svych pet manielfi, byla odsouzend porotou k smrti injekci za sviij ein. To byla pekna matka kdy2 svadela ty vraldy na sve dve Mi. A piece ji to nebylo nic platne a bude usmrcend.

Napsal fadu del, knih zabavnych i popularise i ryze vedeckYch pojednani. Nekolikrat byl odmenen literarnimi cenami. Mlacleho dtenafe uchvatila jeho prace AK 71 — start 18.15 hod., prvni luiickosrbska utopisticka kniika vubec. Z poslednich dob, snad skutedne jeho posledni, je kniika Wotmowa Odpoved, zachycujici oseky ze iivota nejvat§iho 1u2ickosrbskeho basnika Jakuba Barta-Ci§inskeho. Tomu venoval i fadu studii a popularnich praci a vydal jeho Sabraspisy s vecleckYm throdem a mnohymi poznamkami.

Ve svem mladi, ba skoro detstvi, dotire poznal hruzy valky a nemeckeho faS'ismu — narodil se 27. 6ervence 1931 v tazu jako syn duchovniho. I jeho otec byl persekvovan.

U2 proto byl dr. Malink celou dal a srdcem proti valve a pro mir. Vyznivalo to z kaide jeho literarni brace, ze v§ech alanku roztrou§enYch v nejrCanej§ich Casopisech i ze ■Aech jeho piedna§ek. kterYch proslovil nespodetnia. Neni divu, vidyf byl pilvodne u6itelem.

KDO ZNA TAJE KORENI, BUDE KRALEM VAIIEN1 Toto pfislovi pochazi z Madarska a my musime s uznanim konstatovat, u naiich jitnich soused0 je tech -- kra10 zfejme hodne, protoie mad'arska kuchyne kofenim nijak neietti. Nas viak nyni bude spis zajimat, jak je to s kofenim po strance zdravotni, zda mule kofenit i nemocny 6Iovek, zda se vubec snail koteni a dieta. „Kofeni je poslednim olankem fyziologie vYtivy a dietetiky malo aflame, malo poutivane, malo cen'ene ..." --- to je nazor prof. H. Glatzella, vedouciho pracovnika Planckova institutu fyziologie yYlivy v Dortmundu (NSR).

Mnohe kofeni bylo donedavna povatovano za velmi pfedeviim ledvinam. Poukazovalo se zejmena na pepf, papriku a hofaici. Dnes vime, to pfi rozumnem daykovarii to neni pravda. Nektere kofeni, napf. paprika, mime zyytuje mnotstvi vyloudene modi, to viak vubec neni na zavadu, take paprikou muzeme klidne ochucovat neslanou dietu pfi ledvinovYch i srdeCnich chorobach.

Novi poznatky Planckova institutu prokazaly, to kofeni yyznamne pOsobi na srdce a krevni °bah. Uz dfive jsme • to mnotstvi dobreho jidla zatetuje srdce,.protote je potteba dodat vice krve trivicimu systemu, ale byl objeven novy poznatek: Dosud se soudilo, to rifle a mask. jsou „lehka" jidla a tieba slanina to je jidlo „teike". Ale pozor!

Po obed6 s nekotenenou rYti rnaitenou maslem musi srdce pracovat vice net po °bear se slaninou. Pomery se viak radikalne zmeni, pfidame-li k kofeni, napf. papriku. Srdce ma tedy radiji kofenena jidla net jidla bez kofeni. Proto Cakostlive bezkofenne diety v 146136 srdednich a obehovYch chorob jsou zpravidla neOdinne a nekdy dokonce ikodlive. Ale i zde pfirozene plati vseho s mirout Kofeni rovnei ovii yhuje sratlivost krve a v mime mire zabranuje vytvateni sratenin, ktere neptiznive a oast° i neblaze ohrotuji zdravotni sta y. Krome toho kofeni ovliviiuje tet traveni a latkoyou vymenu. Krevni obeh je rychlejti a tim se zhoriuji podminky pro vznik aterosklerozy Cili usazovani tukovych zplodin v jemnYch cevach.

Kofeni take zvyiuje mnoistvi travicich ifav a obsah ferment0 v nich, tak2e it'dvy jsou pOscibivejii a traveni je dokonalejii. Rovnet slin vznika vice. Sliny rovnet podporuji traveni a souoasne pOsobi jako mechanicka ochrana sliznice traviciho traktu. UCinek kofeni viak mus zadinat jit v tistech.

Krome toho ma kofeni vliv mime po vzbuzujici, tonicky a mime draidivY Writ) pfiznive pOsobi ve stavech ochab losti.

Takzvane domaci kofeni, jako ialvej, dernobid, bazalka, satuejka, yzop, estragon, pOsobi nejlepe na povzbuzeni traveni a regulaci latkove yYmitny. Ostre druhy kofeni — jako pept, paprika, hofdice — najdou sve uplatneni v ledebne yYtive lidi s porAchami srdce a krevniho

obehu. Tonizujici Odinek kofeni se nejlepe uplathuje tfeba u kondurangove (Napf. utivanim hromadne yyrab6neho lediveho vina Vinum Condurango.)

Jinym tonizujicim kofenim je tfeba oddenek puikvorce.

Je pochopiteine, to v nekterYch padech mu-le bYt pouiiyani kofeni zakazano, ale I to Ize po dohode s lekafem vettinou' najit yychodisko a nahradit tieba neiadouci, ostFe pOsobici pepF nekterYm typem jemneji pOsobiciho koFeni.

Podivejme se nyni na zakladni charakteristiky vybranYch druhu kofeni: Kroh' (Carum carvi). Mime daykovan podporuje dychani, ulehduje astmatikOrn, odstranuje nadYmani.

Hilebfaek (Caryophyllus aromaticus).

Podporuje traveni a povzbuzuje latkovou vymenu, ptisobi antisepticky, mime pfekrvuje sliznice.

Skofice (Cinnamonum zeylanicum).

PCisobi jako chutoye korigens,

Kurkuma (Curcurna zedoaria). Lodi iludnik, mime ovliviiuje tvorbu krve. Je soutasti cholagoga (2ludopudneho leku) Cholagol a soudasti zname sm6si kofeni Curry.

Paprika (Capsicum annum). Na trh se dodava v mnohych druzich rOzne chuti a palivosti. POsobi mime modopudne a jako antisklerotikum, pfiznive ovlivihuje preci srdce, cev a funkci krevniho obehu.

Rozmarcfna (RosmarInus officinalis).

POsobi tludopudne, modopudne, dezinfekone, podporuje traveni i latkovou vymenu. Jako kofeni se pfidava v minimalnim mnotstvi do polevek, salatO, k pedenim vaetne rybich, do sekane i do omadek. Je typicka pro italskou kuchyni. , Bazalka (Ocimum basilicum). Podporuje traveni, pOsobi proti nadYmani, podporuje vykailavani. Zejmena v jiini

Or you can buy an annuity as an investment entirely apart from your . IRA. In that case, the premium is not tax deductible, but the interest portion will not be taxed until you start taking money out of your annuity.
