'Editor COMMENTS

Youth Achievement Days have been held in three districts already and as time keeps approaching prior to the final competition, our members will be receiving pictorial Vestniks for a few weeks, therefore, we ask that you be patient if you have submitted material to the Vestnik which may have to be delayed due to the YAD activities.

It is remarkable of our youth who took interest in various categories on the district revel. In this issue there are photos of District III and IV of their YADs. The editor is grateful to Brother Bobby Dobecka and SYD Sue Meadows whose cameras were used for "backup" purposes because the editor's camera, went on the "blink" suddenly after having been used for about 10 to 12 years. As soon as the additional District III first place winners' photos will be available (which were on another roll of film) they will be published.

The remaining District YADs in July include: District I -- July 27 at Lodge 188, Centerville District VI -- July 20 at Lodge 40, El Campo - Hillje District VII -- July 20 at Lodge 107, Floresville. ***

Across much of the country, spring through early fall is the season for Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a sometimes fatal illness spread by ticks.

Medical help should be sought at the first sign of symptoms, which include rash, fever, cough , headache, nausea and stupor. Those who have been exposed to ticks should be carefully inspected. *** Government Records In most cases, you can get information from the federal government simply by writing to the proper agency. But sometimes the agencies will not cooperate. In such cases, you can often gain access tc agency records through the Freedom of Information Act or the Privacy Act.

Lodge 133 To Meet.

July 20th

San Antonio Lodge No. 133 will have its regular monthly meeting on July 20th at St. Margaret Mary's Activity Hall, 1314 Fair Avenue. This is a reminder to all members to make a SPECIAL EFFORT to attend the meeting. While looking through the records for the past four years, it indicated that the months of June, July and August were the least attended meetings, and we understand that because it is vacationtime and many families go on trips, or to the lakes to enjoy themselves with their children as a family should. We hope everyone enjoys their vacations.

We still have our President Anthony Trilicek in the hospital, where he had a four by - pass heart operation. We hope and pray that he will be well soon and also Brother Joe Stryk, who is entering the hospital (July 6th), for an operation. We wish him well and, Joe, you better get out of the hospital soon, so we could go fishing, once again!

Also Brother Emil Matula, who had an operation, is doing much better, but he still is confined to his home. We wish all of them a speedy recovery. Don't drink too much pivo instead of drink that water.

Do not forget the meeting on July 20th!

Lodge

172, Pasadena News

Well, now that the 4th of July has come and gone, we hope all of you survived all the celebrations. I would like to say that all is going fine at your lodge. I didn't get to go to Temple for the Fraternal Fest so I have to listen to all who did, and they sure can make you wish you had gone. Lodge 172 will host the Czech Heritage Society on July 27th, so make your plans to be here.

We want to take this time to say "Hello" to all our members who live out - of - state or so far away that they cannot come to our dances or lodge meetings. Over in Gove, Kansas we want to say "Hello" to Denise.

Our president and wife just returned from a two - week vacation. I hear they were in California and drove up the West Coast. I can tell you they enjoyed it very much. We missed Jerry and Vicki while they were gone but now, that they are back, everything is back to normal.

The officers of the lodge are working toward plans, to have more dances and special events for our members and guests in the near future.

This is no easy chore but take heart because I am sure they will come up with some good choices.

Have you noticed the weather has warmed up? Well, as you know it is July, watermelon time and vacation time so my wife and I are going on three weeks' vacation (I still work, you know) so hope all of you will come over to our lodge dances and enjoy the cool air - conditioned evenings.

Two of our regular members are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on July 13th. They are Wink and Marie Appelt and we all want to wish them a happy anniversary and, of course, many more.

by a run or two, however, the guys are enjoying playing and also getting together after games at Tony's, our 'ole' hangout.

I hope that I can have another report real soon.

Recreation—A Family Activity

By W.J. ["Bill"] Malina

This year my wife, Lola, my thirteen - year - old daughter, Sandy, and I spent part of our vacation in Branson, Missouri. While in Branson we had the opportunity to see an outdoor play entitled "The Shepherd of the Hills" and several Country - Music shows, including one by the "Sons of the Pioneers."

Everywhere we went we saw memorabilia from rural life during the 1800s and early 1900s. "The Shepherd of the Hills" was set in the late 1800s. I realized that many of the things we saw in the play, as well as elsewhere in Branson, were the same as those which were used by the early Texas Pioneers, and that life in the Ozarks was very much like the life which our forefathers experienced here in Texas.

1 felt a certain, although distant, kinship to those old Ozark people.

Their love of life, music, dance and the land reminded me of the early Czech people of Texas. There were great differences, of course, but the similarities always seemed to outweigh the differences. Even the Ozark mountains around Branson made me think of the mountains of Czechoslovakia about which several Czech songs are written. It is good to know that there are concentrated efforts being made to perserve the rural heritage of America and to present it to the public in a family atmosphere.

At every show people from each state were recognized. Texans may not always have been the greatest in SPJST number, but they were always the loudest, which shows the pride we have in our state. An attendant at a service Dear Brothers and Sisters: station told me that he liked to meet The softball team of Lodge No. 84 people from Texas because they were in Dallas has been playing all summer always very friendly.

into the personalities we are by our parents and those around us. I like to define recreation as a time for re creation, that is a time for re - making oneself, a time of changing one's attitude and outlook on life, his job, his problems, etc. Re - creation should take place frequently and not be limited only to vacation time.

Attending church is a form of conscious re - creation, but we also need a social form of re - creation, which we find in recreation.

Our SPJST lodges are places where the entire family can enjoy recreation frequently; if they are not, they should be. People should be encouraged to take advantage of the facilities of our lodges in order that they can re - create themselves and relax in a wholesome atmosphere. The elements are all there: fellowship, music, dance, the perpetuation of our Czech - Moravian heritage and the love of our own country.

Czech State Fair Sesquicentennial Celebration

Texas

Czech - Americans from throughout the United States are expected to gather in Dallas, Texas on October 3, 4 and 5, 1986 to honor the Czech Moravian community of Texas and celebrate the sesquicentennial anniversary of Texas' independence.

Texans of Czech descent comprise a large segment of the state's population. The Czech language, brought to Texas by 19th century immigrants, remains the third most widely - spoken language in the state.

Organizers expect that this event, which will be a once - in - a - lifetime celebration for many, will be a gathering place for representatives of the entire Czech - Moravian population of Texas. Various programs and entertainments, a banquet, a symposium devoted to historical subjects, a special bus tour of Dallas, polka dances and other activities have been planned for October 3rd and 4th. The celebration will climax on Sunday, October 5th with programs in the Cotton Bowl and at the state fairgrounds in Dallas. An exhibition illustrating the history and cultural heritage of Czech Texans is scheduled to open at the State Fair on September 26th and run for 31 days.

The participation of groups and individuals from throughout the United States is needed to insure the success of this celebration. Particularly ambitious is the organizers' goal of filling the Cotton Bowl with participants and spectators. The Cotton Bowl programs will showcase several aspects of this group's colorful cultural heritage.

1. Dancing of the Beseda, the national dance of Czechoslovakia; 2.

Choral singing of Czechoslovakian folk songs; 3. Choreographed dancing and singing by children and youth groups; 4. A gymnastic exhibition similar to the gigantic Spartakiada exhibitions of Czechoslovakia by gymnasts of the Sokol organizations.

It is expected that each of the numerous Czech - Moravian communities in Texas will be represented in the Cotton Bowl program by Beseda dancers and other participants. Instructions and information about each of these activities are available by writing to the American - Czech Culture Society.

6/VESTNiK—Wednesday, July 16, 1986 Time still remains for interested groups to obtain instruction materials and information about participating in the programs. Instructions and music for dancing the Beseda are available by writing the address listed below to the attention of "Beseda." Choral groups may request the words and music for the choral program by writing to "Song." Children and youth groups may participate in the programs by requesting instructions from "Youth." Inquiries about the Sokol gymnastic exhibition should be addressed to "Sokol." An information packet dealing with group and individual accommodations at local hotels, motels, RV parks and in the local community is available by writing "Housing."

Organizers of the Texas Czech State Fair Sesquicentennial Celebration expect that this special event in Dallas on October 3, 4 and 5, 1986 will be the high point of the commemorative sesquicentennial activities for the hundreds of thousands of Texans of Czech ancestry.

Minutes Of July 7, 1986 In Temple, Texas

CEFT

President Skrivanek opened the meeting shortly after 10 a.m. and first thanked Sid Pokladnik for making arrangements for the use of the meeting room at SPJST Headquarters.

Corrections to the minutes previously made by the president to the minutes of the May 3, 1986 meeting were briefly discussed. The president mentioned the possibility of also advertising the chair fund drive in the Hlasatel, a nationally circulated Czech - American newspaper.

Mr. Skrivanek then reiterated his desire to see the teaching of the Czech language restored to the dominant prominence it enjoyed earlier in this century at the University of Texas, prior to being placed in a secondary position behind Russian in the Slavic Department.

Marvin Marek mentioned the fact that he had received an envelope addressed to him with a check in the amount of $1,000 from the Dallas Czech Club made payable to the "University Chair Fund." Mr. Pokladnik stated the check was intended for CEFT and the check was presented to President Skrivanek.

The meeting moved back to minutes

by Victor Peter moving that we dispense with reading the minutes and that they be approved. The motion was seconded by Louis Hanus and unanimously passed by voice vote.

President Skrivanek reported the large CEFT account is held by Lamar Savings Association in Bryan and we should begin thinking of limiting each account to $100,000 so that it will be federally insured. He also reported the present arrangement with the S&L is that it writes all the checks rather than he. Since the last meeting $10,420.00 has been added to the account. Ten thousand of this amount was Professor Skrivanek's first cash payment of his $25,000 pledge.

The president acknowledged Sidney Kacir's presence at the meeting which was attended by the following officers and directors: Skfivanek, Pokladnik, Marek, Chervenka, Kostom, Hanus, Peter and Blaha.

President Skrivanek briefly discussed procedures in the writing of receipts for donations by stating that the white copy or original should be given to the donor and the yellow copy sent to him with the donation. The pink copy should remain with receipt book.

Albert Blaha reported that he had not contacted Mrs. Mutson (Maresh) but reported that her son, Harlan Maresh had contacted Marvin Marek and him about re - publishing his father's book, Czech Pioneers of the Southwest. The CEFT officers and directors engaged in discussion relative to the merits of using the republication of the book as a promotional device for the fund drive but concluded the benefit - cost ratio would not be justifiable. Calvin Chervenka moved that the possibility of re - issuing the book be referred to a committee for further study and his motion was seconded by Sid Pokladnik. It was unanimously passed.

President Skrivanek gave an update on his progress in having his brother's (Dr. John Skrivanek) Czech language manuscript published.

President Skrivanek reminded everyone of the fact that personal contact was proven to be the most effective means of raising funds and that each of us must do our best employ this technique at every opportunity we encounter.

Marvin Marek reported on his discussions concerning donations with the presidents of KJT, KJZT and RVOS and read the follow - up letters he had written to Glen Hutka and Benita Pavlu. He will be making the formal request to KJT as directed by Mr. Pavlik prior to the convention in July, which he will also attend as a delegate and make a public appeal to the Convention and delegates individually.

Rudy Sefcik and Sid Pokladnik discussed asking radio disc jockeys having Czech - American programs to promote the dissemination of information on the University Chair campaign. Marvin Marek and Calvin Chervenka suggested a brief informational flier which includes a pled ge and donation form be printed as a handout at all public or individual appeals for donations. An immediate follow - up is many times the most effective means of obtaining commitments from an audience or individual.

Sid Pokladnik moved the expense of printing an appropriate brochure or leaflet be authorized and Calvin Chervenka prepare it. Louis Hanus seconded the motion which was unanimously affirmed.

Albert Blaha mentioned family reunions being another potential source of contributions.

Professor Skrivanek called upon Sidney Kacir to provide us with his legal perspective of CEFT's efforts.

Mr. Kacir began his comments by stating he personally strongly favored the project and some of the things CEFT should consider is, the fact the present Charter will be expiring in 2004 and certain legal ramifications would make it advantageous to proceed with acquiring a new charter of perpetual duration. He expressed the view that it is most important to move quickly with the fund drive by acquiring some large contributions from both individuals and organizations so that CEFT will be in an advantageous position to negotiate with the selected University. Sidney Kacir stressed the fact that many older wealthy individuals might be willing to bequeath a large donation in their wills

and this potential source should be given study. However, the smaller contributors should also be solicited.

Pokladnik, Chervenka and Sidney Kacir were asked to act as a Constitutional Review Committee.

The officers and directors decided to tentatively set the next meeting for Saturday, July 12, 1986, at 1 p.m. at SPJST Lodge No. 88 in Houston.

Louis Hanus would make the arrangements for this meeting.

The meeting was adjourned at about 12:30 p.m.

Respectfully submitted, Marvin J. Marek Secretary —SPJST-

From

The Youth Counselors

Dear Members and Friends: While driving to Camp Lone Star on June 8th, I was wondering how many campers our district would have. The sun was shining when I left Caldwell, but the closer I got to La Grange, the more rain I drove through. After all the rain we had experienced the past weeks, would this be another wet one?

I arrived around 3 p.m. and the rain let up, but just when the first activities were about to begin, another downpour hit. It lasted about 20 minutes and then held off until Wednesday morning when a cloudburst changed most of the final day's activities. Between the rain, 78 campers and 15 chaperones had a very enjoyable time. Campers from Dime Box, Caldwell, Snook, Centerville, Bryan and New Tabor were there. We also had our first camper from Lodge 189, Bryan - College Station, namely, Kristy Wentrcek. We hope she had a good time.

There were parties at night and plenty of activities during the day to keep everyone busy. The parties consisted of relay races and contests.

There was a Commercial Party where campers dressed as their favorite commercials. My favorites were Jason Paul as Ronald McDonald and Wilestine Smith as the Chiquita Banana lady. Everyone enjoyed swimming and canoeing when it got hot. Therewere icrafts, archery , outdoor games, dancing, and the ropes course that provided fun and entertainment.

A new activity for the Senior group was skeet shooting. Thanks to Garland Midgett, this was enjoyable but very safe. There was a controlled shaving creme/water balloon fight one night.

Referee Sue Meadows even got wet.

The Senior group hiked to Monument Hill and the Kreische Brewery outside La Grange. Although the walk was long and hot and no samples were given out at the brewery, everyone had a good time.

Our outstanding campers were Juniors -- Chris Beasley and Brandy Arrington of New Tabor and Seniors -Scott Whitsel of Dime Box and Diane Luza of Bryan. It was difficult choosing just four but these deserved it. Congratulations!

Sue leadows and Michael Faust assist at the Rope's Course.

SYD Sue Meadows, DYC Susan Skrabanek and Assistant DYCs Randy Gaas and Dick Dusek as the "Fruit of the Loom Guys."

I would like to thank State President Howard Leshikar and District I Director Ben Trcalek for coming to our camp. It shows you care about the youth of the SPJST. I would, especially, like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone at camp for the autographed shirt. Although I will no longer be Assistant DYC, I will always remember the good times I have shared with the youth of District I. Again, thanks!

If you missed this year's camp, start thinking about next year, because we missed your smiling face. Don't forget YAD at Centerville on July 27th. I hope to see you there!

Items To Bring To Camp 1) Sheets, pillow (if you use one), light cover 2) Swim suit and underclothes (Junior group underclothes initialed if possible) 3) Towels and wash cloth 4) Toilet articles (soap and grooming needs) 5) Casual clothes 6) Flashlight (optional) 7) Long pants, socks and shoes (a must if you plan to ride horses) 8) Hat or cap (for hiking and arch ery) 9) Change of clothes for each day and `large grocery bag or garbage bag for dirty clothes 10) Comfortable shoes (2 pair are desirable) because you will walk and play quite a bit 11) Camera (if desired) 12) Suntan lotion or bug repellent (optional) 13) Tennis racquet (if you wish to May tennis), balls furnished by the Jistrict 14) Stereo records (optional) or some favorite dance records 15) Some money for extra sodapop (there will be morning refreshments served by the camp) Our schedule includes swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, crafts,

some hiking, outdoor and indoor games of many varieties. Parties are planned for each night.

We will have flag ceremonies twice daily and there should be a patriotic song or a poem in addition to the pledge. Each club will have one of these ceremonies for each group' so plan what you will do. Table grace will also be given by the youth at each meal.

The shortest way to get to Camp Val Verde is to take Hwy. 36 West out of Temple, go about 6 miles, take Hwy. 317 to the right toward Moody and go straight through Moody and to McGregor, go to the second red light in McGregor and turn right; this will be Hwy. 84 heading east toward Waco, go about 8 miles to the Val Verde Exit to the left, follow that road and when you come to a "T" turn right and then take the second road to the left and that takes you into camp. Stop at the dining hall for further instructions.

It seems that I am running out of time this year trying to get this in the Vestnik so I hope you will come to camp and see what else was planned this last week.

The schedule planned for this year will be similar to last year for the Junior category since we will have to di, ide them into five groups and plan to give them a little time to rest during noon. If it continues to be so hot we may have to slow down our activities.

We certainly hope all of you who sent in applications will be able to attend because we are having a place reserved for you in your group and your cabin and we have plans to have a great camp.

The Juniors should bring some pennies for the penny carnival. Game parties and a hayride are on the schedule for both groups.

The Teenagers will plan their own game parties. There are lots of good things in the planning stage. Don't miss out --- be there!

Let's all remember our special second annual fun carnival and District II fall meeting on September 14th at Lodge No. 47, Seaton beginning at 2 p.m. This fun carnival also will be very different and lots of fun. Plan to be there.

Keep smiling and see all of you at camp.

12/VESTNIK—Wednesday, July 16, 1986 so because it adds so much to your life to make someone feel loved. I will expect some big hugs next year.

We had a fabulous fashion show.

We had some of the loveliest models (guys and gals) from all over the world. Would you believe: "Fabulous Boy George (Vernon Hegwood) stopped by and also the one and only "George Straight" (Karl Pflughaupt), both added a lot to our great show but they travel with a lot of body guards, makeup and wardrobe crew. Thanks very much, guys, for making it such a great show. Also the Christmas Tomato, a famous male ballet star fresh from Broadway, stopped by; never a dull moment at that show.

"Mr. Cool" (Danny Berryhill) dropped by to check us out and said we were in his words "cool and right on."

It took each and everyone of you boys and girls to make this so much fun, thanks a lot. What can we do next year?

Well, District V YAD for August 3rd at Lodge No. 88 is fast approaching; hope everyone is doing and getting 'everythin g together. Do come on, let's make this the biggest and best District V YAD ever. Come on Shelly, Denise, Misty, Ace, Breen, Nicole, Karen and John. Well guys, let's hear from you. I'm still working on my clogging. I'll learn it yet, Diane!

I hope Dennis and Elizabeth got all the paint off and are ready for YAD. Fun, tun --- I love you all, and remember a "Hug a Day" helps make your day better for someone else.

The Youth Leaders From

V Held Enjoyable Camp District

Dear Members and Friends: Well, District V camp is over with, and a good time was had by all. We met many new friends and did a lot of things we have never done before (some for the first time). Comments that were made, "Gun Safety" was high on the list, as well as the stenciling everyone learned to do in craft. Boy, what you can do with a piece of cloth, some paints, bits of ribbon and a few flowers and a straw wreath! They were all so pretty and artistic. I learned quite a bit doing this. I would like to thank everyone for my lovely wreath; it has added beauty to my breakfast room but, most of all, my kids gave it to me. Thanks a lot, I will remember it always. Kids, are you still giving out those big hugs and smiles? I sure hope

92 in Ft. Worth. We had 3 first place winners in craft, namely, Kevin Dobecka, Keith Hykel and Lanette Hykel. Kevin Dobecka is "Junior of the Year" and Shirley Dobecka received "Teenager of the Year."

Kevin Dobecka and Keith Hykel also did real good in their group talent.

Tammi Dobecka and Lanette Hykel did real well in royalty competition.

We are all proud of you!

Vzalo to hodne prate a starosti a tel stala pry 66 milionfi dolaru ji opravit a dat do poildku. Pracovali na ni i francouzgti delnici ktefi pfijeli z Francie ji dodelat, a vge dobfe dopadlo. Ve evrtek veeer zaealy ceremonie, 'le pan Iacocca pfedstavil a pochvalil pans presidenta Reagana, kterSt pak pane vysvetlil podrobnosti jak pfed 100 lety Francie nam darovala onu sochu jako dfikaz pritelstvi mezi Francii a Amerikou a o vgechne praci ktera byla udeland aby ta socha dlouho vydriela jako symbol svobody. Take le 17 inilionft tech pristehovalcu pfe glo pies Ellis ostrov a jakj, dojem ta socha udelala na ty lidi z cizich zemi, le meli slzy v oeich kdyl ji spatfili, a jak byli radi, ie jsou ye svobodne zemi americke! Tehdy tolik lidi pfijeio sem do Ameriky!

Pak president smaell knoflik a pomalu socha byla osvetlend v barvach eervene, modre a bile-- odznak to nagi vlajky. Ude tleskali a volali "Happy Birthday" eili "Sfastne Narozeniny".

Bylo to opravdu pane a dojemne. Po dlouhe feei jeho, take 38 tisic lidi obdrieli obeanstvi americke po to kdyl slibili vernost sve nove vlasti-- to take bylo neco uchvacujiciho. Nektefi ti imigranti ktefi pfijeli do na gi vlasti pfed 50ti lety byli tazani o tom jak dojem udelala na ne ta socha, tak povedeli jak jsou radi ze mohou bSrt v U.S.A. Jeden lei byl lid a drulVr byl tech jmenem Zrubek a vgichni chvalili tuto zem. lode vgelijakSrch velikosti a stall pluly na vode kolem to sochy. Tel take bylo jich prS, 200 Lodi-- jen lode z Ruska tam nebyly. Tolik miliona lidi odevgad bylo pfitomno, i odtud z Dallasu jeli tam se podivat. A oslavy trvaly cele 4 dni a to bude nem co nikdo kdo tam byl jiste nezapomene. Take zde v Dallasu asi 300 tech imigrantir vzali prisahu nosti Americe a vzdali se bSrvale vlasti sve. Bylo vgude zpevy, hudby a veseli.

Pfejeme jim to, le ph dobrem poeasi se jim to vydafilo v nejlep gim poradku.

Ty kryte vozy ktere se v lednu vydali na gesti mesieni cestu aby oznamovali tu nagi Sesquicentennialni oslavu, ze v 1836 obdrleli svou svobodu od Mexika, udelali pry pies tfi tisice mil v nagem Texasu, a se navratili zpet do Ft. Worth kde to dobfe oslavili. Kdyi zaeali konat tu cestu tak meli celkem 122 tech vozfi a 275 tech co jeli na konich. Kdyl pfijeli do El Paso tak jich bylo jen 38 vozii a jen 40 tech na konich. Tehdy vyjeli ze Sulphur Springs, Texas a pak zazili v gelicos-- zimu, vary, horko a jine nepfijemnosti ale pak na konec cesty zas jich bylo mnohem vice. Take dva nary lidi ktefi se poznali na to ceste, se pak Bali oddat a pfijeli zpet jako maniele. Na mnoltSich mistech byli pohosteni a pobaveni tamnimi lidmi a meli se dobfe. Udelali si pry' mnoho dobrkch pfatel behem cesty a jiste budou na sebe vzpominat. Tedy vge se vydatilo a je to jiste pane, ze ano? Natal tei

sepisovali sve zku genosti a molna, le ty vzpominky budou i uvefejnene, col by bylo zajimave.

Take v patek minuleho t5rdne bylo etvrteho eervence, col je na g den svobody od Anglie, a zde v Dallasu letos to jaksi oslavovali ti ge oproti jinSfm rokfim. le pfed lety to bylo mnohem rugnejgi a byly i stfelby a nektefi byli i porantni a tel ty ohriostroje leckdy popalily nektere ktefi oslavovali. Ted varovali na televizi aby lide byli opatrnej gi a nenechali deti stfilet nektere ty ohnostroje eili "fireworks" a tak doufame le se to ukoneilo v poradku.

Papa Jan Pavel jel do Kolumbie kde ten papa pry slou!il mgi a kde se seglo asi 100 tisic lidi. Trochu byl chvfli jakSrsi nepokoj mezi nekterSrmi, ale on ten papa to uti gil a nakonec to vge dobfe skoneilo. Mnozi fide se divili, le on mel jegte dosti kurale se vydat na tu cestu, kdy1 pfed lety byl tel postfelen.

Jegte mel gtesti, ze tehdy se uzdravil a nemel iadne nasledky z toho.

Ten Willie Nelson kterSr loni mel koncert ye prospech farmafit, tak letos ho mel zase pobile Austinu, ale pry tolik nevydelali na torn jako tomu bylo vloni. To pry bylo skrze to, le v Novern Yorku byla ta Socha Svobody odevzdand a kaRIST chtel bS,t pritomen tam.

Ale piece kaidj, peniz byl dobrS, pro tu dobrou vec a moina, ie lide jegte pfispeji hodne.

Behem to oslavy na evrteho eervence tak se staly tfi ohne a mysli se, le je to nasledkem tech ohriostroja. Velice hodne byly zapaleny apartmentni budovy a tfi hasiei byli postileni ohnem a koufem Best rodin v Oak Cliff a sedm jich v Grand Prairie ztratili vge co meli a museli bS,ti pfestehovani do jinSrch budov. Tez jegte v jinSrch budovach v Oak Cliff a gestnact tech apartments bylo pdskozeno. Jisti mladi hogi zapalili upotfebene gumy z autfi ktere polili gasolinem a ten ohen pak trval d ye hodiny nel to bylo uhageno. Policie varovala lidi, aby byli opatrni a nestfileli ohfiostroje, ie je to nebezpeene ale neni to nic platne a uljivaji vgelike nezakonite. Skoda v Oak Cliff sekci pry byla asi 225 tisic dolarii a ta v Grand Prairie prS, 115 tisic. Kde jsou ti rodiee, ze nechaji deti Mat takove veci? A kdo pak zaplati firmam za tu gkodu a strach aby nekdo nepfigel k poraneni anebo k smrti? Je to gpatne!

Bylo oznameno, le behem tech oslav na evrteho eervence tak prST bylo zabito 25 lidi na texaskjrch dalnicich (highways) kdyi byli ye sralkach s druhjrmi auty anebo motorcyckly.

Take hodne jich bylo vane poraneno a tak ta oslava gpatnt dopadla pro mnohe.

Jelikoi je nyni nedostatek penez vgude, tak mnozi si mysli, ze aby se sehnaly ty nutne penize, tak ze asi bude eas pon4glet na ziskani techto jinak a sice miti v Texasu loterie, ze v jinSrch statech tak ziskali hodne pen& a nebude tfeba zvSrgovat Bane, kterSrch ul je ai moc. Komptroler Mattox fika, ta loterie by pfinesla jeden a pill bilionu vktelku a le gest set milionfi z toho by ziskal stat Texas. Asi bude nutno o tom uvalovat a volit pak o torn.

Kdo vi jak to dopadne?

Indiani kmene Hopi a Navajo (vyslovi se "navaho") maji nyni zle

easy nebof vlada na ge cnce prestehovat jindm v Arizone. Tyto dva kmeny ul asi stovky let se mezi sebou hagtefeji kdo ma pravo na pozemky v Arizone. Ten kmen Hopi ul vice jak sto let Ma, a oni tarn byli tak dlouho, a le ten Navajo kmen jim prevzal jejich Cast. Nektefi jsou ul staff a nyni dle zakona budou muset se pfestehovat jinam-- a to se jim nelibi bkt nekde mezi bflymi lidmi, a oni Dili v tichu a mohli pestovat ovce a kozy a ieny jejich tkaly koberce z viny, ktere pak dobfe prodali a nikdo je nevyrugoval.

Jenie kdyl se nemohli srovnat tak eeka je vystehovani Priam. Nemaji radi ty nove domovy a Wulf bkt tam kde jejich pfedkove zili sta a sta let. Vlada dosud rokuje o tom a tak nikdo nevi jak to skonei mezi temi dvema kmeny.

Letos ul je to velmi zle kdyI porad nektere medeciny (pilulky a kapsliky) jsou otraveny jedem a lidi pfijdou o rivot nasledkem toho. Ted zase naglo se, *ie Anacinove kapsliky pfivodili smrt nekolika lidi a zase musely tyto medeciny bS,t vzaty z polic. Kdo piece to dela? Je to hrozne, a nekdo mule neco takoveho provadet a nedbat kdo zemfe nasledkem toho? Tak nyni chti aby kapsliky se nesmeli vyrabet a le by bylo pak po starosti. Pilulky jsou prS, jistejgi a asi to bude se vyrabet jinak aby se pfedeglo otrave.

Zase zlodej radii minu1S7 tSrden ve Ft. Worth a okradl dve banky a snad odnes1 pry asi 40 tisic dolarfi. Jeden pfepad byl v patek a druhSr zas v pondeli. Toto pry uz je 17 bank ktere ten zlodej okradl v gesti texaskS7ch mestech za 8 let. Nekdo mysli, le asi pouliva drogy a musi mit penize na to, anebo ze lije "vysoko" dokud mu penize staeeji a pak krade zas. Tedy patra se po nem ale dosud nemeli lAdne gtesti jej najit. Snad se jim to pozdeji pogtesti.

Nedivno ten hurikan "Bonnie" udelal velke gkody v Jefferson okresu (poblile Beaumontu)- snad pry vice jak jeden a pfil milionu dolarfi. Firmy ktere musely miti dal gi delniky a zaplatit za praci pies eas tak to pry bude stat moc penez. Domovy a obchodni ,budovy byly pogkozeny velice moc. Letos toho ul bylo velice moc gpatneho-- snad ted uz bude to lepgi.

Doufejme!

Jedna lend 70 lets gla na katolic"I4 hfbitov zde aby navgtivila hrob sveho mardela, a tarn ji pfepadl mud kterjr chtel penize a kdy2 mu fekla, ze nema ladne tak ji srazil k zemi, znasilnil ji a ukradl tagku se sedmi dolary a utekl.

Je to hrozne ze nyni ani na hrbitove neni ul elovek jisty livotem. tloveka hledaji a doufam, le jej brzy najdou a potrestaji ho dobfe za to.

Take jsme byli velmi pfekvapeni kdy1 jsme se dovedeli veera, le minulSt mesic zemfel v Ennis pan Jan Vrla, syn to Franka a Marie VrlovSrch, po delgi nemoci ye veku 88 let. Jeho maminka byla Jelinkova a byla sestfenici me maminky. Zanechal dva syny Jana v Ennis a Miltona v Kansasu, a dceru pi.

Olgu Pechakovou v Dallasu, 6 vnoueat a tri pravnoueata. Pohfben z kostela sv. Jana a ulolen na hfbitov sv. Josefa.

Jeho manklka byla Aneika Galetkova a ta truchli po nem tez. Litujeme, musel odejit a pfejeme mu klid na veenosti a pozilstalSrm nage uprimna soustrast. Posledni dobou nam odeglo

mnoho dobfe znami pfatele ktere budem postradat. Byl Menem SPJST fadu 25 v Ennis.

Prave jsem se dovedela, le jedna Jena byla u televize a najednou ta vybuchla a kusy skla ji podfezaly krk a ona vykrvacela a byl konec. Bude se patrat proe ta televize vybuchla-- kdo by to feki, fe new takoveho se mule stat, a ano? tlovek nikdy nevi co se mirk stat kdyl je doma v klidu a musi takovSrm zpfisobem odejit.

Tel bylo oznameno, a 10.teho srpna bude zde hudba z t eskoslovenska ktera se jmenuje "Veselka" a tak kdo ma rad dobrou hudbu tak do 20. tato eervence at' si koupi listky (kal0 za $10.00) aby mohl mid misto zarueene. Doufam, le na gi krajane se prihlasi na Czech Club zde v Dallasu a poridi si misto k poslechu. —SPJST-
