GEditor COMMENTS

In last week's issue was the most recent list of donations to the Czech Educational Foundation of Texas (CEFT) and a list of officers/directors who can and will accept your donation and also give you a receipt for it.

The new Income Tax Law has been signed into law and will be effective in 1987 and, as your editor reads the information about it, (some of this is listed in this editorial) a person's donations will be deductible in 1986, however, not in 1987 unless a person itemizes deductions which most people do not do, so it would be to the benefit of donors to make their donations to CEFT for the Educational Endowment (Czech chair) in 1986! Think about it!

Clip the coupon in the Vestnik and send your donation to Professor J.J. Skrivanek, now! *** In this Vestnik is the printed program of what is planned for the three - day Sesquicentennial Symposium in College Station -Friday, November 14 through Sunday, November 16, 1986. The entire program is from Clinton Machann, CESAT Symposium Director, Department of En glish, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843; phone (409) 845 - 3451, or (409) 696 - 1360. The ensemble named "Podluzan" will appear instead of Vlcnovjan.

Remember to send $20 for the registration for all events in advance, otherwise, it will cost you more when you get there. Send your $20 per person (if children: $5 under 12) to CESAT MUSIC, 3232 Braircrest Drive, Bryan, Texas 77802, and you will receive your admission and name ta g by mail. *** How many of our members and/or readers remember or even know that it was October 28, 1918 when Czechoslovakia proclaimed and gained its independence as a nation for the first time. Before and at the beginning of World War II, Czechoslovakia was considered the most democratic nation in Europe including England. *** Americans are being deluged with more than the usual number of charitable appeals. That is because donations may be harder to extract next year, when the new tax code reduces the financial incentive for generosity. Perhaps you can help good causes and help yourself, too.

Beginnin g in 1987, taxpayers who do not itemize -- that is three - fourths of the nation's 112 million paid workers -- can no.longer claim a deduction for donations. For itemizers, the value of deductions will decrease because of a drop in tax brackets, from a current maximum of 50 percent to 38.5 percent in 1987 and 33 percent in 1988. Those who give property -- such as real estate, art objects or stocks -- may no longer be able to deduct the gift's full value, since the capital - gains portion of the value will be used to determine it you owe the 21 percent "alternative minimum tax."

These changes could cut contributions by $11 billion, or 14

percent, estimates a Harvard economist. To compensate, fund raisers are pressing people to become more generous. Donations now average about 2.4 percent of household income per year, or $650.

So how much is enough? That is obviously a personal matter. The United Way of America's guideline is an hour's pay every month, or 0.6 percent of your salary. This year, however, it may make more sense to give more and take advantage of tax deductions while they still exist. One of the United Way's executives points out that: If you were going to make a donation in 1987, you might as well do it in December, rather than January, and save some money.

Although most giving now is done through fraternal and reli g ious groups or payroll deductions, funds increasingly are solicited on street corners, door - to - door and by phone.

However, giver beware! If you are unfamiliar with the group, resist pressure to give on the spot. Make sure that the group is le g itimate. The Better Business Bureau, local consumer protection offices and state attorney general keep tabs on complaints. Find out if the group is licensed by state or local agencies, but remember that licensing does not imply official approval. Ask what portion of your donation will be put to its intended use and how much is eaten up by fund raising expenses. Remember, if you buy tickets for a dinner or show, you cannot deduct the full amount -- only the portion that goes directly to the charity. For instance, if a ticket to a charity dinner costs $100 and the meal itself is worth $50, your deduction is limited to $50. *** Most workers can expect smaller pay raises in the comin g year, su ggests a recent survey of employers. Raises will climb about 5 percent in the year ending in August 1987, compared with 5.3 percent for the previous 12 months, accordin g to the survey by the National Industrial Council, an arm of the National Association of Manufacturers. Increases will average 5.5 percent for non - union, midlevel personnel, 5.4 percent for corporate officers and senior executives and 4.9 percent for clerical and technical workers. *** Asbestos in the sandbox is the last place you might expect to find this cancer - causing substance, but two popular brands of play sand may contain unsafe levels of asbestos, warns the Massachusetts Department of Health. Preliminary tests of the two brands -- Premium Play Sand and Kiddies Fun Sand, which are usually sold in a child's world toy store -- have found between 1 and 3 percent tremolite asbestos fibers in the sand. In the meantime, health officials recommend that parents keep children away from the sand. *** Those rear - window signs with messages such as "Baby on Board" or "Mother - in - Law in Trunk" are spreading like wildfire. But not everybody thinks they are a great idea.

The Insurance Information Institute says the signs can block a driver's vision and are a hazard in busy traffic.

Placing the sign in the corner of the rear window, like a parkin g sticker, can lessen the risk. However, that may not suffice in Maryland, Geor gia and Hawaii, where rear - window signs are limited or prohibited. Police in those states sometimes stop drivers, ask them to remove the signs and also issue tickets. ***

28 East Bernard Meeting Lodge

Dear Members: Lodge Karel Jonas will hold its November meeting on the first Sunday, November 2nd at 2 p.m. A standard "Order of Business" will be followed with exceptions. The agenda does not have anything of special interest scheduled.

The "after the meeting get together" will take place as always.

After being, more or less, forced to take the District VI fall meeting, with promises of a good attendance, it was sad to see such a poor showing. It was a "Slap in the Face" to Brother Leonard Mikeska, Supreme Lodge Secretary/Treasurer, who took the time to come down from the Supreme Lodge. The noticeable absence of some key district officers, all of the standing committee members and their substitutes, with the exception of one, really came to light when a guest from District V, Brother Louis Hanus, was asked to make a report. After explaining to a key district officer as to the "why" we accepted the September 28th date, this officer asked why we did not postpone to another date. The answer was still the same; this was the only date available through November. As we all know, it takes time, work and money to host one of these meetings and our lodge did its best to make sure there was enough food for the luncheon. Therefore, our lodge is supporting a motion, made and tabled in the fall meeting, to have only one district meeting a year.

Regarding the pictures taken at the District VI meeting and printed in the Vestnik, whereby location heading was in "error" and some way question if proper information had been given; it was. Besides, the location information was available in about five (5) or more previous Vestniks. To 'squash" all doubts, Brother Leonard did know he was at Legion Post 226 in East Bernard, otherwise he would not have had taken the pictures.

The October 5th meeting was short with very few items being covered. The main subject was the District VI meeting. With exception of one all reports were given in their proper place in the "Order of Business." All were accepted as given.

The luncheon consisted of "leftovers" from the District VI luncheon. They were ham, cheese, pickles and potato chips. All other items were donated. Those who stayed got their fill.

Sister Elsie Brdecka had to leave early because her home was being used as the information center for the family since her sister "011ie" passed away early in the morning this meeting day. Our condolences are extended to all of the family.

Brother Albert Lupik, as always, lead the cleanup crew. Brother A.J. "Tony" Kelner did some extra special cleaning on the entrance and the stairs.

Two sisters were in hospitals at meeting time. Sister Frances Kelner was in the Eagle Lake Hospital and Sister Annie Kubena was in a Houston hospital. Although he was in the meeting and helped with the cleanup, Brother A.J. "Tony" Kelner was also ailing. While changing a flat tire on his truck, Brother "Tony" was hit in the face by a jack handle that went wild loosening most all of his front teeth and knocking out some. The handle just missed breaking his jaw.

A SPECIAL NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS: Since Lodge No. 28 is on "Direct Billing" now, it is very

important and to the advantage of ALL members, whether they are paying on their policy or are paid up, to open ALL mail from the Supreme Lodge. The windowed envelope may contain your premium payment notice, premium refund check (if you choose to receive it), notice of increase in insurance or annuity earning statement. The payment notice should be taken care of as soon as possible so you will not lose your insurance. The last two, the increase in insurance and earning statement, should be filed with their respective items (policy or annuity). AGAIN, DO NOT THROW OUT ANY ENVELOPE, RECEIVED FROM THE SUPREME LODGE, WITHOUT OPENING IT AND CHECKING WHAT IS IN IT FIRST! See you faithful on the 2nd and this writer remains - - Fraternally, Joseph D. Nezval President —SPJST-

183 Election Of Officers At November Meeting

Lodge

Dear Members: Just another reminder that election of officers on second Monday, November 10th at 6:30 p.m. Bring a covered dish and join the good potluck meal and social before our meeting.

Previously, I have stated in my newsletter a few weeks ago that there are openin g s for officers and committee members for the year 1987, so "come on members" and step up and help lead YOUR lodge to a success.

There has been some criticism in the past but, criticism, in a way, may be a compliment because it shows YOU did something too important for the critic to ignore.

On the sick list for the last month was Annette Cepak who had surgery and Keith McLain was bitten by a dog while he was riding his bicycle. Best wishes to these members and hope they get better soon.

There was one new member, Roland Burnes, voted on and approved.

Welcome, Roland and may your stay at Lodge 183 be a long and happy one.

Something special is being planned for New Year's Eve this year, so come to our next meeting and be in on the ground floor and be part of the action; also remember the Christmas party for the four Lodges 92, 154, 180 and 183 that will be held on Sunday, December 7th beginning at noon and, this year it will be held at Lodge 92 at 3316 Roberts Cut Off in Fort Worth. It is free to all members of Lodge 92, 154, 180 and 183. There will be a $5 charge for non - members. Come out and bring a friend if you wish and show them what a good time you can have at a SPJST party.

Remember, members, if you can remain calm in the midst of all this confusion, it's simply because you don't understand the situation, or you have not been attending the regular meetings of your lodge. See your smiling faces at the next one.

Fraternally, Norman M. Kneschk Reporter

Membership Chairman Malik reported new members Barbara Dybala and Helen Macik. Welcome to our Krouzek. We always welcome new members so that our Dallas Circle of Czech Women can remain active for years to come.

We heard from committee chairmen as follows: Sunshine -- No Report Birthday Card Chairman Kalich sent cards to Sisters Libby Slovak, Lydia Kartous, Hattie Ground, Bertha Podhrasky and Suzanne Novak.

Happy October birthdays, girls!

Under old business, we discussed our picture - taking date scheduled for 10 a.m. on November 6th. Please be on time! You wouldn't want to miss out. We also touched on our Christmas party plans. Sister Bessie Kalich moved we give a money donation for a charity project. Motion carried.

Under new business, Zdenka Skotak asked if we would be interested in any of her handmade items. She was willing to bring these items to our meetings and, if we were interested, we could purchase these various items.

We all thought this was a wonderful suggestion and we agreed that we would sell tickets towards these handicrafts as a money - maker project.

Announcements were made as follows: Sisters Helen Oates and Helen Vrla Jr. spoke on Czech Cultural projects, Evelyn Salac welcomed all to attend the Symposium to be held at Lodge No. 84, Bertha Podhrasky invited everyone to the social at the Sokol Hall and the bus tour scheduled that same day, Lydia Alholm stated she had Bingo cards if anyone was interested, Bessie Reames announced the date of the Dallas - Ennis Fraternal Council hosted by Woodmen of the World and to be held at the SPJST Lodge No. 84 in Dallas.

It will be a day to remember what with all the good food accompanying the fried chicken and the special program presented by Anne Zvolanek (who spoke on the Statue of Liberty), Alice Roberts (read a poem entitled

"Beautiful Texas"), Vickie Kohn (who spoke on what the seven spikes in the crown of the Statue of Liberty stood for), and Dorothy Reznik (who led us in the singing of "Yellow Rose Of Texas," "Deep In The Heart Of Texas," and "Home On The Range").

Door prizes were furnished by Sisters Hattie Ground, Liddie Pavelka, Sydney Skotak and Helen Oates.

Congratulations to Bob and Anne Zvolanek who recently celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary. Helen and Arnold Vrla were surprised by family with 40th wedding anniversary party.

Several sisters then exchanged dates of their recently celebrated anniversaries.

Our Sister Zdenka Skotak was the longest - married for 68 years. This is indeed a long time! After so many years together in happiness, I am sure the loss of a partner is hard to bear.

Congratulations to Bob Zvolanek in winning three blue ribbons at the Men's Garden Club Flower Show and one special ribbon for his shrimp plant, and two red ribbons. Anne also won a blue ribbon for her pear relish.

Where will they put more ribbons? I saw all their winning ribbons at their home and I don't know if there is room.

Jerry and Vickie Kohn attended the annual Army reunion in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin on September 10th through 14th. On their way home they visited the Home Office of Western Fraternal Life in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

President Elmer F. Karasek gave them a tour of the facilities. In Beatrice, Nebraska they visited with a cousin, William Kosobud. They went on to Tulsa, Oklahoma where they visited with Vickie's uncle, Henry Patak and cousin, Irene Douglas. They had a very enjoyable trip, Vickie said.

Did you know that Mrs. Betty Bell attended the "Miss America Pageant" in Atlantic City? She was accepted to be seated on the runway seat with the press and photographers from throughout the United States which is quite an honor. Miss Texas was a former student at Samuel High School, and her sister, Amanda (a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader) was a student of Mrs. Bell's. Mrs. Bell is an English and Journalism teacher at Samuel High Sell( ol. She is a member of the Circle o l Czech Women of Dallas at Dana' Sokol and SPJST Lodge No. 130 .1- nd is the daughter of Hattie and Dick Ground.

Gee, after al the above, my little trip to the Louisiana Downs with my Aunt Lil doesn't seem so important.

We had a nice time watching all the other people win. I placed a bet on the horse who came in first place in the 11th race, but being so conservative, I didn't win much!

Czech Day at the State Fair is now a thing of the past. Somehow memories of former Czech Days always seem to come back to me when I'm at the Fair.

Dear Bozena Valcik ("Mama" to us) was the most dedicated youth leader ever who instilled the love for our Czech heritage in all of us, were fortunate to have been under her guidance in our young years.

Wonderful John Bubak was a super organizer of our Czech Days' activities. The performances at the Coliseum was still the favorite location for our programs -- the Maypole dancers, this had to be the most colorful of our youngsters' performances over the years. Yes, sweet memories! Some day our younger generation will have these same memories but with different laces and places. Time marches on, but there will always be memories locked within our hearts.

This year our dear member, Zdenka Skotak, was honored by being declared "Queen For The Day" at the State Fair at the Band Shell. Her picture appeared in the Dallas Morning News. There was only one thing missing in Zdenka's special day and that one thing was having her dear George by her side. They were indeed a wonderful pair these two. He was surely missed by Zdenka because both were so proud of their heritage.

Please mark your calendar to be at the NoVember 6th meeting at 10 a.m.

The photo grapher should not be kept waiting since he most likely works on appointments and may have others scheduled.

1 do hope you enjoyed the month of October; so many nice cool days and so many special days in this month.

October 1st our past President Jimmy Carter turned 62 but is still as active as ever -- good 'old' Jimmy!. The anniversary of the Chicago Fire on October 8th, Columbus Day on October 13th was celebrated, National Grouch Day on October 15th -- Oh, boy can't we all think of someone on this day. October 16th was National Boss Day, Sweetest Day on October 18th -- Yes, this is really a day marked On my calendar. Swallows left Capistrano on October 23rd, Sourest Day on October 25th, Mother - in - law Day on October 26th -- shame on you if you have a mother - in - law and forgot her on this day. October 28th -Happy Birthday Beautiful Lady (Statue of Liberty). Of course, the big one celebrated this month by young and old is Halloween on October 31st.

Spookhouse lines are always miles long on Halloween Eve and night on this date in our city.

So long for now -- see you at 10 a.m. on Thursday, November 6th!

Ennis Sewing Circle It was a lovely day for our October 9th meeting. There were 26 members and 4 guests present, namely; Joe Houdek, Ernest Huff, Wesley Tupy and Julius Podhrasky.

President Sadie Kubin called the meeting to' order and welcomed everyone, especially the following sisters who have missed several meetings; Annie Jaska, Margie Macalik, Leona Jurica, Mary Kopecek and Vivian Vrana.

After the pledge to the flag, each officer gave her report.

We extend our sympathy to Sisters Vojteska Janicek, Annie Mullins, Annastazie Jurcik, Sadie Kubin and Bertha Podhrasky in death of brother in - law and uncle, Stanley Slovak.

Wednesday, October 29, 1986—VESTN1K/7 well card was sent to Sister Stacie Hejny. Sister Jaska thanked the Circle for the card and money gift.

Sister Podhrasky reported on the Czech Museum at the State Fair. She brought souvenir books for sale at $5.00 each. It is a very interesting book, titled "THE CZECH TEXAN In The Year Of The SESQUICENTENNIAL - 1986 " Sisters who devoted their time working at the Fair were Mary Polasek, Anne Zvolanek, Mary Sebestik, Liddie Pavelka, Georgia Tupy, Vickie Kohn, Bertha Podhrasky, Helen Vrla Jr., and Libbie Wisniewski. A big 'thanks" to all of them and to everyone who worked so diligently to make the Czech Day and the Czech Museum a great success.

The museum brought back fond memories of the "old days." I often wonder what our ancestors would think if they would see all the conveniences modern technology has brought into our homes. Sometimes I wonder how time - saving they really are. I seem to have less time than I had without them. Could it be that more time is spent on -,he telephone?

Officers for 1987 will be elected at our November mcetion.

Sister Annie Vrana's quilt was quilted in s September and Alice Roberts's in October. Sister Roberts surprised each of the 13 quilters with a ticket for the gift draw ing. Sister Millie Vytopil hemmed the quilt. The ladies who do the quilting are appreciated.

There were 4 sisters from the Circle who received a 50 - year pin from SPJST Lodge No. 135 in Ennis, Texas; namely, Lillie and Frank Hejny, Mary and Charlie Bouska, Olga Ewing and Libbie Wisniewski. Congratulations to each one!

Sister Kubin took a trip recently to Maine, visited several interesting sights and went as far as Nova Scotia. She said she did not enjoy the boat trip to Portland, Maine; sea sickness was the culprit, should have taken Dramamine.

Bobby Podhrasky, son of Sister Bertha and Julius Podhrasky, was flown to Seoul, Korea, recently to do the electronic security for the Asian Olympics.

See you at our November 13th meeting. Until then, stay well.

Velehrad School Holds Reunion Dear Brothers and Sisters: I am sending in a few words about our Velehrad School Reunion which was held at the Hall in St. John, Texas.

It was a very wonderful day with a . , ot of joy and happiness to see each other . We have a reunion every second year because there are so many things goina on; too many weddings, anniversaries, showers, baptisms, picnics, etc. are going on all the time, so it's hard for all of them to attend when we schedule a school reunion.

We would like for them to attend at least sometimes, but so many live far away and many have passed away last few years; also we all are getting in that line, too.

The reunion wasn't big, but everyone seemed to have a good time.

District VI Director Matt Vanek was one of our students, and he and his wife are very good people. They took the pictures of all five SPJST lodge presidents and all were students of the Velehrad School.

I want to thank everyone, also Matt Vanek for having the pictures taken and sent to the Vestnik. I enjoy reading the Vestnik. I can read and write Czech. I am the president of Velehrad SPJST Lodge No. 19.

Let me thank the responsible persons for announcing our reunion and putting the pictures in the Vestnik.

Fraternally, Mrs. Lillian Kristinik Lodge 19 President Route 4, Box 199 Schulenburg, Texas 78956 —SPJST-

Free Time Activities -- were volleyball, basket ball, games of all kinds, walking around and resting Initiation & Shaving Cream Fight I would like to say a word about the new program we presented this year, Gun Safety. This program was very important to me; after watching the news or reading newspapers, I realized that most youth were totally unaware of guns and how dangerous they are.

Youth or adults being injured or killed because no one took the time and had the knowledge or experience to teach gun safety. The instructors' main concern was to expose the youth to guns, make them aware that they are not toys, that they can kill or injure, to teach them how to hold a gun, and what to do if they find one laying around or how to handle a situation of a younger youth found playing with one. These are very important points, think about it. They were also able to shoot targets and skeet after they mastered the above education process.

All were very good shots, but they also found out that a gun has a kick when shot. All in all, the program was a success and we hope to continue it next year.

A special thanks to all the chaperones who helped make this camp time a special time for our youth.

"Be

Proud Of It"

BAYLOR OFFERS PAMPHLET ON ARTHRITIS Copper bracelets, special diets, snake venoms, herbal tea. There are more quack cures and unproven remedies for arthritis than there are forms of the disorder, according to a Baylor College of Medicine arthritis specialist.

Everything you can possibly think of has been tried as a cure for arthritis, said Donald Marcus, MC, chief of Rheumatology at Baylor.

Arthritis is a term for more than 100 forms of rheumatic disease affecting joints, muscles and the tissue that connect bones and muscles. More than 40 million Americans suffer from arthritis in some form. Some never require more than a few aspirin for treatment. Others need prescription drugs and surgery.

Historically, unproven treatments for arthritis have ranged from pulling teeth to sitting in old uranium mines.

While many of the folk remedies are not harmful, putting off reputable medical treatment can compound the suffering, Marcus said.

If you neglect to take advantage of the legitimate treatments medicine has to offer, you can suffer needlessly and in some cases experience irreversible damage, he said.

He advises people who suspect they have arthritis to see a doctor immediately.

Although there is no cure for most types of arthritis, Marcus said it is not true that people cannot get significant help; there are a variety of treatments and procedures to help function and relieve their pain.

Baylor is offering a free brochure which explains the four major groups of arthritis and lists resources for help: -- Degenerative arthritis occurs when cartilage, the rubbery "shock absorber" tissue at the ends of bones, breaks down during aging process.

Docetors usually suggest aspirin to control discomfort and limited exercise to maintain joint strength and flexibility.

-- Inflammatory arthritis develops when tissues become tender and inflamed. Treatment usually consists of rest, anti-inflammatory medications and careful use of the affected joint.

Juvenile arthritis is the form which affects children. It usually strikes between the ages of 18 months to three years or eight to 12 years. Continued medical treatment is necessary to prevent permanent damage.

-- Metabolic arthristis occurs when chemicals in the body form crystals that accumulate in the joints and cause swelling. Anti-inflammatory drugs and changes in diet are used to control types of metabolic arthritis such as gout.

-- Infectious arthritis occurs when bacteria, viruses or fungi settle in a joint. Symptoms come on quickly and are severe. Infection fighting drugs such as antibiotics are usually prescribed for treatment.

The brochure is available by writing: `We Care For You -- Arthritis," Baylor College of Medicine, P.O. Box 13567, Houston, Texas 77219.

Visible And Hidden Fats In The Diet

Reducing

College Station -- Consumers may associate fat with meat because it is visible and tend to ignore the hidden tats in other types of food, says a TAMU Agricultural Extension Service nutritionist.

Mary K. Sweeten explains that there are three types of fat in food: Polyunsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature. These fats tend to lower blood cholesterol. Vegetable oils, such as corn, cottonseed, safflower and soybean oil are all polyunsaturated fats.

Monounsaturated fats seem to lower blood cholesterol, but still provide fat based calories. Peanut butter and peanut oil, nuts, avocados and olive oil contain monounsaturated fats.

Saturated fats are solid at room temperature and tend to raise blood cholesterol levels. Animal products, such as cheese, meat, butter and lard are a main source of saturated fats.

However, vegetable products including cocoa butter, coconut oil and palm oil also contain large amounts of saturated fats.

Unless people read food ingredient labels, they are often unaware that coconut oil, palm oil and other saturated fats are frequently used in baked goods and other processed foods, Sweeten remarks.

One way consumers have tried to cut back on saturated fats is to choose lean meat, says Sweeten .

According to the nutritionist, results of a recent national study conducted by Texas A&M University showed that consumers evaluate the leaness of a cut of beef primarily by the amount of trimmabte fat, or the "plate waste" fat that would be cut away and not eaten.

The degree of marbling in the meat also contributes to its fat content, she says, so consumers may wish to select beef on that basis as well. In general, USDA "choice" grades of beef have more marbling than those labeled "good."

About 3 to 6 percent of fat from marbling is necessary for tenderness and taste appeal in beef, says the nutritionist. A 3 - ounce serving of cooked lean beef has 192 calories.

Sweeten notes that some of the leaner cuts of meat include flank steak, top sirloin steak, bottom sirloin, top loin steak, top round steak, chuck top blade steak, beef tenderloin steaks, round tip roast and bottom round roast.

Both the U.S. Dietary Guidelines and the American Heart Association Dietary Recommendations advise Americans to cut back on their consumption of fat so that it is no more than one - third of their daily calories. In addition, the Heart Association recommends reducing saturated fats to under 10 percent of daily calories.

That means consumers need to be thinking in terms of their total fat intake, says Sweeten. They may want to watch their intake of saturated fats from processed foods and baked goods as well as select lean meat.

Using a minimum of fats and oils and choosing to broil, bake, poach or steam foods instead of frying will also help reduce total fat consumption, she says.

Pak v sobotu byla zvlagtni veeefe a pozvani herci a hereeky zaplatili $1500.00 za listek.

Tam byli jiste hereeky a herci pfedstaveni a obdafeni stipendium za svou praci a nekteti byli obdafeni penaitou pomoci. Celkem 14 jich bylo pfedstaveno princovi Rainierovi, jeho synovi princovi Albertovi, a dvema dceram-- princezne Karoline a jejimu mankli a princezne Stepance. Take pfijely d ye male deti princezny Karoliny.

Pak byla zabava a vkteiek pro ty herce a hereeky byl jiste velikk a mnohkm bude pomokno pokraeovat ye studiich. Vge v torn Anatole hotelu bylo krasne vyzdobeno a ty drahe auta "limousiny" vozily host' sem a tarn.

Celkem pry bylo pfitomno asi 600 hostu na to ()slave. Byl to jiste velkk "bal" a vge dobfe dopadlo.

JeSte jedna oslava se konala zde v nagem meste kdy historicka Cast zapadniho Dallasu mela prfivod, hudbu a hodne veselosti. Pfi to pfilditosti bylo otevfeno nove stredisko kde asi 100 obchodu bylo ukazano lidem kde bude moino koupiti vge na jednom miste. Celkem toto stfedisko ma 55 akril, a dosti tedy 'nista pro mnoho veci. Take hudba, gagkove a zpevy bavily lid kterk pfigel se podivat co se deje zde. Tel mnoho lid' byli radi, de ty stare budovy historicke ceny byly zachovane a nebyly rozbourane aby se nove tam stavely. Tedy minulk tkden zde bylo dosti toho pobaveni pro lid.

Ted td kolik dni bylo pekne poeasi a tak myslim, Ze statni vkstava se vydaH dobfe, a lidu odjinud je zde velice mnoho a baveji se dobfe. Darky se mohly koupit a jidlo se dostalo tai.

Ti olejovi ministfi se zase se gli v Zeneve a tfebak ud 13 dni rokovali o torn, jak by meli jednat aby ceny oleje se zvkgily, piece jegte nieeho nevyjednali. Nekteti elenove toho "Opec" spolku by chteli jegte nejakk Cas dodriovat smlouvu nevyrabet tolik oleje, piece zase ti druzi nechti na to pfistoupit a haciaji se dale. Mali by se koneene dohodnout a vymefit vge spravne kolik kaida zeme by mela vyrabet oleje aby td jednou to ukoneili a svetova situace se zlep gila. Saudi Arabie a Kuwait rozhodne nechti dodriet smlouvu na delgi eas az lhfita vyprg i 31.fijna. Je to v ge velmi nejiste a

29. tijna-1986 mnozi se boji, de ceny oleje klesnou jegte vice.

Nedavno chteli soudcove udelati zakon, kde by ti, ktefi v restaurantu anebo baru prodaji pitivo nekomu kdo ma jig hodne lihovin v sobe a pak pfivodi nestegti anebo smrt nekoho v autovem negtesti, k bude zakonem povinnen zaplatit v gechny tiety za to.

Mnozi se boji, k tento zakon mule pfivodit zanik restaurantu, nebot' tiety za pojigteni by byly moc drahe a pravnici, k by pak meli mnoho tech soudnich procesu, ktere by museli projednavat. Dosud mnozi majitele restauraci a baru se brani proti tomu.

U2 16 jinkch state ma takovy zakon-tak nevime jak to nakonec dopadne.

Platit odgkodne a nahradu za negtesti pfijde ted' velmi draho, de ano?

V Marshalltown, Iowa tak nedavno asi 311 delnikfi ye tovarne Swiftove (kterd ball masove produkty) gli na stavku a tedy firma pfijala 250 delniku na jejich misto a nyni ti co gli na stavku tak se dali hazet kameny po autech a rozbili okna na nich, a chteli vets' plat.

Policie pak zatkla mnoho jich kteti hazeli ty kameny a nic se nevyfidilo.

Stavka zaela dne 2.fijna a neve& kdy se to ukonei. Swiftova firma je velika a ma zde v Dallasu hlavni stall a je gte asi 6 jinkch stanti v jinkch statech. Asi to vezme eas nee se to urovna.

Ten fora Otwell utekl z Ft. Worth kdy mu hrozilo vezeni Ze nechtel si obstarat povoleni udriovat domov pro hochy a byl a2 v to Indiana' a ted' je zase v Louisiade' a shani farafe (pry celkem jich asi 100) aby mu pomohli se branit proti zakonu kterk id& aby kostelni g kola musela platit to povoleni udriovat domov pro (led. Kdyby vlada jej chytla tak bude platit pokutu a vezeni by mu hrozilo tee za to k se neobjevil u soudu kdy byl lacian aby tam v jistk den byl. Zde ten kostel kde ty deti byli v domove pod dozorem Otwella, tak policie tam gla vziti deti prye a nenagla je nebot' byly vzate tajne jinam, a domov byl uzameen. Ned se to vyfidi, bude to jiste dtitledity tikol pro pravnika Mattoxe ndli ten forth' bude naueen, de zakon se musi poslouchat a dodeiovat!

V torn meste Tyler, Texas ye vkchodnim Texasu zase oslavuji ten "rtizovk festival" jako &tic jig mnoho let. Letos koneene Kongress uznal, k ta ride jest ta kvetina jako odznak Ameriky, a v gichni v torn Tyler si oddechli. Totd u2 davno se tam pestovaly ride a v2cly meli festivaly ktere zdarazfiovaly, ie nik.je nejpeknej gi ze vgech kvetin. Letos pry 120 tisic rill okragli cely ten festival. Kaidkm rokem maji vidy "kralovnu rear a pane ceremonie pfi torn. Tisice lidi odevgad pfijddeji na tu oslavu, obvzIagte ti stars' obeani a koupeji si lacino (tucet rid' za dolor). Take rodiee a pribuzni tech vevodkyfi pri to °slave mail s kralovnou velmi dobre pobaveni a ti pestitele dal ovgem (Moil velke obchody. Byla jsem tam nekolikrate se zesnulkm bratrem a videla jsem jak krasne ty ride kra gleji to mesto ye vkchodnim nagem statu. Stoji to opravdu za to videt tu krasu.

Ten imigraeni zakon (jestli president to podepige jak se oznamuje) tak jiste

zpfisobi mnohkm majitelum starosti, nebot' budou miti praci zjistit zda jejich delnici jsou opravneni zfistat zde v teto zemi aby se vyhnuli placeni pokuty, k zamestnavali nezakoniteho delnika.

Byl by pak muse/ zaplatit pokutu a tee moind jiti do vezeni za to. Jsou nyni jiste regulate ktere lid si bude muset dochlovat a bude vet gi opatrnost ye hlidani nagich hranic kolem Texasu.

Mnohkm se to jiste nebude libit a skrze to asi budeme miti tfeba vktrZnosti a nepotadek. Uvidime jak to bude dale.

Jistk 24.ti let' mud z Ft. Worth byl odsouzen pro vraklu sveho synovce 4 roky stareho a dvouletou netef hned v dubnu letos. Jeho pravnik ho obhajoval, de pry bral drogy a nevedel co dela, ale policie mela jeho pHsahu zabil deti skrze to, de kdy synovce opatroval, tak hoch ho nechtel poslechnout a to ho dopalilo tak, de on jeho i dcerku zabil nokm a mrtvoly dal do pytle, kde byly nalezeny na druh' den. Porota ho odsoudila na dve lhuty (do Zivoti). Doti byly jeho sentry deti a to byl jiste stra gnk tin. Je to td druhk ptipad letos kdy deti byly zabite pfibuznkmi skrze to, k neposlechly dospele lidi ktefi je opatrovali. Je to hrozne kdy se to uvail ie to nemuselo se stat, de ano?

V meste Arlingtonu poblde Dallasu jistk try-let' hoch v 1985 byl operovan a dan nove Atm-- jinak by byl zemfel.

Nyni za rok se cit y dobfe a zda se, k bude zit. Darce jater byl malt' hoch v Louisidne kterk zemfel po operaci a to zachranilo 2ivcit tomu hochovi v Arlingtonu. Jiste hochovi kaklk pfeje aby se pozdravil a byl Ziv pro svou milujici rodinu.

Vgak u2 jim moc pomohly dune spolky se gatstvem, jidlem a leky. Letos uz toho gpatneho bylo moc na mnohkch mistech a je to vi'dy velmi zle.

Jistk 13.ti letk hoch z Vietnamu, kterk utell z jeho zeme a dostal se do Ameriky nyni bydli v Richardsonu s americkou rodinou, ktera ho vzala k sobe. Ud je u nich od tinora letos a je prk geasten, k mute zit zde ale ma strach o svou tetieku a sestrenice o kterkch nic nevi zda byly tak gfastne jako on je od to doby co utekli z Vietnamu. Hoch se dostal do USA pomoci katolicke organizace ktera se jmenuje "Catholic Charity" Tato organizace uz pry 19 ti mladkm lidem z Vietnamu pomohla dostat se odtud do bezpeei.• Ted jsme se dovedeli k Rusko prave vyhostilo 5 tifednikil americkkch—totd 4 z Moskvy a jednoho z Leningradu.

Mysli se, le je nasledkem toho, de americka vlada poslala 25 ruskkch lidi prye z teto zeme ze " gpehovali" co oni zapiraji. Nyni na ge vlada se rozmkgli co by se melo udelat za tento ein a jiste to jegte vice rozdeli styky mezi obema zememi.
