Beginning of Lodge 88 Tenth Year of Czech One reason students participate in the study of the Czech language at Lodge No. 88 in Houston is to give expression to a surging sense of renewal. This common purpose sweeps throughout the lodge. It is most evident in the enrollment when one third of the registrants are in an average age bracket of 26 years.

Another reason is to send a clear message of a fresh beginning.

As we pause for a moment to gather our energies for the year ahead, we realize many give full rein to their own spirit of renewal and anticipation. The 34 registrants want to again hear "Jak to babiEka hitivala" [As Grandmother used to say]. Their surprises are reflected in their glances and nods of recognition.

May other classes in all schools and lodges continue in the spirit of their ancestors who left the "old country" to find better living conditions in the `new."

IMPORTANT "Especially For You" is the heading in an ad which will appear in the next Vestnik issue on page 14. This last minute information was just received before going to, press. Lodge No. 88 in Houston will present the "PODLU2AN" entertainment ensemble Especially For You at the SPJST Lodge 88 Chandelier Ballroom, 1435 Beall. Street in Houston, Sunday, November 23rd frorn 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The admission will be $5 per person. We hope many of you plan to attend and help give these folks a warm TEXAS WELCOME! Watch for more information and the ad in next week's Vestnik.

The PodluYan Orchestra and Dance Ensemble features the cymbal (dulcimer) and is from Breclav, Czechoslovakia. They just returned from a tour of Italy. The ensemble has performed for 20 years.

"Let me say a few words about the Czecholsovakian Orchestra and Dance Ensemble that will join us for the symposium and then make a short good will tour of Texas in recognition of our 150th birthday party.

Arrangements for this group's participation have caused me endless anxiety and frustration for a number of reasons, but I am still happy that Podluzan, a sixteen - member group from eastern Moravia (they have names such as "Blazek" and "Bravenec") will be able to join us.

Music, like all art forms, transcends politics -- international or otherwise -and speaks to the basic human - ness of us all. In my opinion, we must maintain cultural ties with the land of our ancestors if our identity as Texas Czechs (or maybe I should say Texas Moravians) is not to become merely nostalgic and artificial. Anyway, let us make these Moravians feel welcome among us -- and perhaps introduce them to the American holiday of Thanksgiving later this month." --Dr. Clint Machann) We also understand the ensemble from Czechoslovakia will be appearing at other places in Texas. The dates and places are listed below: Friday, November 14 -- (Arriving to Bryan and to be at the Music Symposium until 16th) Tuesday, November 18 -- American Legion Hall, Rosenberg Friday, November 21 -- Bluebonnet Convention Center, Victoria (sponsored by the Czech Heritage Society) Sunday, November 23 -- SPJST Lodge 88, Houston Saturday, November 29 -- SPJST Lodge 29, Taylor Sunday, November 30 -- Czech Club, Dallas Monday, December 1 -- University of Texas Performing Arts Center, Austin

The November 1986 General Election is over and, of course, results cheer some and disappoint some; nationwide it was a greater change than prognosticators had predicted.

Wednesday evening while listening to the radio news, your editor overheard a reporter congratulating a coach on the large amount of imput coaches in Texas had on the highest office and the coach answered that -yes, they (the coaches) had a strong state organization, however, he did not know if they had changed the outcome, although, through the players, they played a part, perhaps.

Then the realization came that they were actually speaking about the "No Pass No Play" issue. (I would regret to learn that we elect our officials on that criteria!)

It brought me back to many years ago when the superintendent of my hometown high school was more interested in my physical size so I could I help the high school have a strong football team than he was in my interest in learning all I could academically!

This editor also remembers a recent talk show where the guests were a school teacher from Georgia (who would not give poor grade football players a passing grade and was "relieved of her duties" by the school board) and a coach from Central Texas. The teacher had sued because of her being "relieved," and the courts awarded her one million dollars in damages. The coach stated that too many coaches use the players and teams to gain a good record for themselves and do not really consider the players too much. Of course, this is not true everywhere, however, it certainly bears keeping this in mind.

Are we going to end up with many broad - shouldered, big players with oversized posterior protrusions who can play ball but cannot read, write and/or add nor subtract? Let's hope not!

Sometime ago the Japanese teachers who were in Central Texas on a visit and our reporters from the European continent told us about our needs for school education improvement. Our average worldwide is lacking! ***

From The SecretaryTreasurer's Office SPJST LOWERS MORTGAGE RATES The SPJST has reduced its interest rate on Home, Farm and Commercial mortgages. The new rates for Home and Farm loans are: 10 percent for 10 years 10' percent for 11 to 15 years 10'1 percent for 16 to 20 years The new rates for (owner - operated) Commercial mortgages are: 11 percent for 10 years 11'/ percent for 11 to 15 years The property to secure a loan must be one of the following: (1) Dwelling to be occupied by owner (2) Rural or Farm property on which there is or will be a dwelling which will he used as an owner residence (3) Farm or Ranch property to be used as an owner - operated Farm or Ranch (4) Certain types of Commercial property on a selective basis when the property is used to conduct an owner operated business.

One year membership is required to qualify for loan consideration.

Additionally, the applicant and spouse should have at least $25,000 of SPJST insurance in force. If you have less than $25,000 SPJST insurance, you should purchase the additional amount

From The Vice President's Office SPJST ANNUITY PROGRAM The IRA Program has changed considerably for tax year 1987. As we near the end of 1986, taxpayers should act now to make their fully deductible IRA contribution. There will be new limits on IRA deductibility that will be imposed in tax year 1987 so I urge you to take advantage of current allowances and make a fully deductible contribution on your 1986 IRA prior to April 15, 1987.

New legislation will limit deductions of IRA contributions for certain taxpayers in 1987. An important part of this law is that even if your ability to make deductible IRA contributions is reduced or eliminated; you can still make an IRA contribution up to $2,000 (or $2,250 with spousal account) limit, and enjoy tax - deferred earnings on your IRA investment. • The point of this message is that the SPJST,Annuity Program was and is a tremendous retirement plan which will strengthen your retirement income.

Remember, the earlier in the year that you make your contribution, the more interest you will earn on your investment.

Call For Czech Music Symposium In Bryan Last

[You are encouraged to read this article -- Ed.] You have seen the news stories and the detailed program for the symposium in recent issues of the VESTNIK; so I will repeat those details. 1 write this article as a last minute reminder and encouragement for you not to miss this first - time ever event.

Even though you may be somewhat weary from the great number of Czech activities during this Sesquicentennial year, you simply cannot miss this once - in - a - lifetime event at the Brazos Center in Bryan on November 14th 16th. Is it not wonderful that we can find reason to complain about the great number of heritage events we Czechs in Texas have had this year.

This was not the case a few years ago.

If you cannot attend all the symposium sessions, then try to attend at least one day. The only problem with that is, "How do you figure out which day to attend? If that is our problem, why not attend the first day and I know you will find a way to return for the others.

Texas Czech Symposia The First Czech Symposium in Texas was held in 1978 in the Temple area and concerned itself with the general subject of the Czechs in Texas.

Dr. Clint Machann was the director and designed a symposium format consisting of scholarly discussions against a backdrop of folkloric

performances, displays, and social events. This proved to be a pleasing combination. The symposium was well - attended and served as a stimulus for increased interest and activity in all aspects of the Czech heritage in Texas.

The Second Czech Symposium in Texas was held in 1983 in the Temple area and the focus this time was on the history of the Czechs in Texas and the great amount of recently discovered immigration and genealogical information: Alberta J. Blaha, Sr. was the director of the symposium and it caused an increased genealogical and other heritage activity, including the formation of Czech historical societies and the conduct of regional genealogical workshops.

For the Third Czech Symposium in Texas, in this Sesquicentennial year, we have persuaded Dr. Clint Machann to serve as its director, and he has put together a spectacular program which should appeal to all Texans of Czech descent and to everyone interested in music. To see it is to believe it!

Sponsorship As president of CESAT, I am happy that my predecessors and our membership had a part in the two previous symposia and that we have the initiating sponsorship role in this Third Czech Symposium in Texas. We are happy that the Brazos County Sesquicentennial Commission and many other organizations have joined in that sponsorship. As in the instances of the previous symposia, the Czech founded fraternal and mutual organizations of Texas have assisted greatly in the funding of this event.

Why A Czech Music Symposium?

If there is anything which is symbolic of the Czech heritage in Texas it is our legacy of Czech music, songs, and dancing which has been left to us by our forebears and which has been preserved, nurtured, uplifted, and promoted by many, many persons.

Generations of these persons have passed away but the tradition lives on, and many of these persons will be in Bryan, November 14 - 16 weekend participating in this symposium. We should try to attend to honor these performers of the past and present and to learn more about our musical heritage from ourselves and from specialists from outside of the State of Texas.

This is the biggest and finest thing that has ever been done to commemorate, to study, and to honor Czech music and Czech musicians have meant to the Czechs of Texas and what the Czechs, the Czech musicians, and the Czech - founded organizations, through their organizational halls, have done and are doing for the music industry in Texas.

The least that we all can do is to join in this effort to preserve and honor our Czech musical heritage in Texas. As well as enjoying and further informing ourselves, we will be showing our support for the director, Dr. Clint Machann, his assistants, the sponsors, and the participants in the symposium.

Admission/Information Advance tickets for the entire event are $20 for each adult and $5 for each child. At the door tickets will be selling for $25 and $7 respectively. Individual tickets for each evening dance will also be on sale at the door: $7 for Friday, $15 for Saturday, and $7 for Sunday night. For more information, please call Jody Bates at the Brazos Center at (409) 776 - 1986 or Dr. Clint Machann (409) 845 - 3451.

Conclusion I know you will enjoy the symposium and it will be well worth the cost of admission. Tell your family

Wednesday, November 12, 1986--VESTNiK/5 and friends about it and offer to take them along.

I know that no one will complain about your getting them to go, but they may very well complain if you do not tell them about it and encourage them to go. Thank you.

Tabor Reschedules Tournament Date New

Dear Members: Lodge 17 held its regular monthly meeting with all officers present.

New members accepted were Frieda and Samuel Polasek, Lynette Paul, Robert Stepanovic, Dennis and Maxine Marek.

Resolutions were read for Sister A. Zavodny and Brother Glenn Schiller.

We, the members of New Tabor, would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the families and friends.

A report was given on the Fall Festival (the annual barbecue). The weather was not good and there were too many activities being held that same day, therefore, we did not make lots of money, but what we did make will go to pay for our recent renovations.

Oda. Dopisovatelii Tak Vgelicos Anezka Houdkovi Nedivno v torn meste Assissi v Italii papal Jan Pavel II svolal zastupci tech asi dvanacti raznYch ver aby pfijeli a vgichni se modlili za svetovY mfr. Tedy asi 200 lidi pfiglo-- od budhista al po americkYch incliana a jinYch. Prosili sv. Franti gka aby ten mfr pa celem svete se jif jednou objevil, ale na druhY den se po celem svete stalo zas tolik negtesti s bombovanfm, vraldenim a na nekterYch mistech te/ lode potopeny.

Tedy se zdalo, le ti mnozi nesouhlasili s tfm, a byl Iadan mfr a pokoj pro kaldeho. Buda to asi jiste te/kY problem aby vgichni spoletne ukontili ty gpatnosti. Sestra Tereza pry tel pfijela al z India a nag president a tee; vadcove gedesati jinYch naroda poslali slova podpory tech ktefi pracovali o mfr. Je to zle!

Dnes je druheho listopadu tili "Dugitek", kdy IcalclY kdo ma nekoho na vetnosti tak vzpomina. Ja jsem si vzpomnela ie dve moje velmi dobre pritelkyne se narodily na tento den.

Nage dobra a uprimna pritelkyne pant Marie Nesudova dnes oslavuje svoje 95 to narozeniny, nebot' pfijela se sviSimi roditi pfed 94 lety a s HoudkovYmi jako male holtitka. Pfejeme ji vgechno nejlepgi a hlavne to zdravi, abychom mohli ji jegte dale gratulovat. Ta druha pfitelkyne byla (nyni jii zesnuld) sletna Anitka Pfikrylova. Ta take byla dobra a mild a 'sena gkoda ji, le u to neni. tlavek kdy/ ma nekoho rad tak musi vzpomenouti na ne. Neni nic tak lepgiho nelli dobri pfatele'-- le main pravdu?

V aterY budou ty volby a konetne pfestanou ty vgelijake feti o tom le ten je k tifadu guvernera nevhodnY a druhY zas le ten nema dosti zku genosti \testi tifad. Zda se me, to ie je neslu gne jak se hadaji a pomlouvaji. Prot to must bYt? NemtUe se to vyridit jinak? Tedy v literY u bude konec tech feti a snad zas vge pajde dobfe. Nag stat potfebuje dobreho statnika aby lidem v Texasu se mnohe zmenilo a bylo zas dobfe. Snad se to podaff.

Letadlova spoletnost pasobila zde pry al 52 let, je to jiste hodne davno, ale nyni se mluvi o tom, le mina se spoletnost pfestehuje do Kansas City.

Dalla gti tifednici zdej gi komory ("Chamber of Commerce") nechtf aby se Braniff stehoval, ale nevime jsk to dopadne pozdeji.

Minu1S, tYden kral Fand z Arable propustil znameho gejka Ahmeda Zaki Yamani, kterY pa 24 let ridil rozvinovat olejovou politiku a svYm vlivem docilil zlepgiti pomera v Arabii.

Zvolen na jeho misto byl Hisham Nazar, kterY pry ma bYt tel dobrY znalec olejoveho problemu. Prot toho Yamanih propustil Kral Fand neni znamo, ale dnes ui jeho vliv byl yid& nebot' ten olej uz vstoupil na 14 dolara' a 27 canal a fikaji, ze vstoupne jegte vice. Ministfi OPEC spoletnosti chti aby aspaii cena oleje byla 18 dolara za to beau. Tak nevime jak to vge

12. listopada 1986 dopadne. Ted majitele olejovYch studrif nemaji vYdelky a ty ocelarny take nemohou pokratovat ye vYrobe ocele pro mnohe obchody a tedy by to jiste zlepgilo situaci finantni.

PoMd ten Nemec Kurt Waldheim zapfral, le on nebyl v Yugoslavii za valky a le nic nedelal aby byli tisice tamnich lidi poslano do tech koncentratnich tabora a usmrceno.

Toto ovgem bylo feteno pied volbami kde on kandidoval za presidenta Rakouska. Nyni kdy ul byl zvolen a je v tifadu tak se pfiznal, le v Yugoslavii byl ale le nic zleho nedelal. Ted ale ten americkY tlovek Meese stale pracuje na tom a vyhlili vg elike rekordy, le aby nemohl bSrt pripugten na navgtevu do nagi Ameriky, ie ho zde nechti.

MinulY tYden take jistY mladY 12ti lets, chromY hoch z Kambodie konetne se dostal sem do Kalifornie ke sve rodine, po to kdy2 pfelil celou valku od sameho detstvf. Zvla gtni program dovolil aby hoch mohl bYti se strYcem a babitkou, a ti meli velkou radost. Hoch potfebuje lekafskou pomoc neb ma zde formovanou ruku nisledkem toho, a kdy byl malt' tak vzal do ruky horkou cihlitku a popalil a zhizdil a zmrzatil if. Tak nyni molna mu bude pomoc zde v nagi zemi. Hoch plakal radosti kdy jej babitka objala.

S tou narkotikou je pofid hodne starosti a tasto policie a vladni chytnou lidi ktefi paguji drogy. Tak ye Floride agenti tam chtyli zasilku kokaine za 500 miliona dolara, a nyni budou patrat po tech ktefi to posfiali sem do na l zeme. A jiste je vynajdou, a tal ty kteri to prodavali. Je to hrozne co se nynf deje, le ano?

Ti lide kteri meli . "Savings Bonds" till bondy dany na droky nyni pry budou vyclavati trochu men gi tiroky tedy ze 7.5 procenta nynf budou jen gest ale tifady upozornuji, ze je gte je to vYhodne takto si u getfiti penIze a nemusf se bat, le by o ne pfigli. Zde v Dallasu pry byly dlouhe lady lidi kteff si zakupovali bondy dokud jegte mohli dostati ty vet gi tiroky. Nekde na nekterYch sporitelnach pry vyprodali vgechny bondy ktere meli v zasobe.

V torn zapadnim Texasu pfiglo asi 200 lidi very "menonicke" evangelicke kfesfanske, do gkolniho auditoria a byli prisahou utineni obCany nagi zeme. Tito viry je pry vice tam jak 600 vyznavata a pfed 10 lety pfijeli aby zaloiili sve domovy v mlru a tichosti, bez mnohych vymoienosti a koupili farmy a bylo jim feteno, le tou koupf ui jsou americkYmi obtany ale pak kdy vynagli le to neni pravda, tak meli vgelijake starosti a negtesti.

Senator Bentsen se o to zajImal a pomohl jim aby mohli zde zastati a nemuseli bYti deportovani kdyi nemohli platit diuhy za pozemky a tel jim to zariclil aby se mohli stati °litany.

Vgichni pfisahali radi svou praci a Niel-nosti, le budou dobrYmi °litany teto zeme. Jejich iivotni sen se vypinil!

Letos ten svatek "Halloween" se odbyl velice dobfe a pry' nebyly negtastne pribehy. Letos mnohe nemocnice mely ty "x-ray" pfistroje pfipravene pro deti kteff prinesli cukrovi aby bylo to prozkoumane zda

tam neni nee° zleho v torn, ale vge dobfe dopadlo a nikdo nebyl otraven.

Letos bylo vice opatrnostf nebot' dospeli lide doprovazeli deti na mnohych mistech a tak se nic nestalo zleho. Nekde ta to mCli v astfednach, kde byli deti v bezpeti a cele rodiny mohly se podilet. Tak to bylo dobfe, le ano?

V torn Rio Grande ddolf tak minulY tYden zavfeli utotigte kde uteeenci ze stfedni Ameriky se meli dobfe a tekali na vstup nekam aby meli sve domovy.

Katolicka diocese je podporovala a bylo tam pry asi 500 pristehovalca a mnoho jich bylo mezi nimi nezakonite immigranti. Nemohli se starat o tolik lidi a must najiti jinY domov pro ne.

Tel budou vgichni vygetfeni zda mohou zde zastat anebo musi bYti deportovani zpet odkud Ti ktefi se starali o ubytovani a nakrmeni tech pristehovalca tak museli hledat domov nekde jinde, nebot' bylo hodne stanosti ad souseda, le takove zastupy lidi se jim nelibi poblile jejich domova. Od roku 1892 jil dala ta astfedna katolicke diocese pristfe gi a jidlo vice jak 10 tisic tech lidem ze Stfedni Ameriky. Mnozl mail zde sve pribuzne a tak chtejf jiti knim jestli se to dobfe vyridi. Tedy dfad immigratnf a naturalizatni musi nee° udelat pro ne aby byl pokoj tam v tom ildolf.

Bylo nam oznameno, ze v Novem Yorku oslavovali minulY tYden dne 28. tap fijna, le tomu bylo akorat 100 let kdy tehdy president Grover Cleveland prijmul Sochu Svobody od Francie.

Oslava na severu byla ticha a bez nejakYch zvlatnich programa. Oslava trvala celkem tfi dni a bylo pry pritomno nekolik tisic lidi aby uctili tu znamou sochu, ktera je tak moc znama po celem svete.

Nedavno zde v Dallasu jista stare ernogka 70ti 'eta volala policii le u souseda nekdo chce okrasti ten domov.

Kdyl policiste tam pfi gli tak videli tu ternogku, ktera pry stela na pfedni galerii a driela pistoli v ruce.

Vliclav

Vite kde je Hostinne, rodigte eeskeho malffe, vynikajiciho grafika a vynalezce Vaclava Karla Kliee?

Hostinne, dodnes pfipomfnajfc svjan vzhledem stfedoveke mesto, se nachazi na hornim toku f eky Labe v Podkrkonogf v severnich . echach.

Pfedchildcem puvodnf osady byl Hostin Hradec (lepe snad feeeno knifed hrad Hostin), ktery zalofil v roce 1139 knife Sobeslav, jel se rad zdfloval na svem ne pffli g odtud vzdalenem sidle Chvojne (Dviir Kralove). — Kdy2 knife Sobeslav na Chvojne telce onemocnel tak nechal se pfenest "na zdravej gf povetff" na nove postavenjr hrad Hostin, kde bolndel vgak kratce nato zemfel 14.11nora 1140.

— V podhradi Hostfna vznikla zahy

osada, ktera byla povj gena na hrazene mesto k obrant severnich zemskjch hranic v druhe polovine XIII stoletf krafem feleznjrm a zlatjm, Pfemyslem Otakarem II, jenl vladl v letech 1253 af 1278. Ceskjr kral Jan Lucemburskj (1310-1346) — "Bez Boha a krale eeskeho nesvede se v boji nieeho" — dal pozdeji mesto Hostinne za prokazane mu slulby PUtovi z Turgova. V g edesatjrch letech etrnacteho stoletf byl majitelem mesta magdeburskj purkrabi H. Purkart, v letech 1365 ai 1377 vlastnil mesto opolskjr knife Bolek ze Slerska a koncem stejneho stoleti byli tu opet pani z Turgova, kteff znovu potvrdili obci mestska. prava. V druhem desftiletf patnacteho stoletf vlastnil mesto i s hradem Jan Kru gina z Lichtemburku, jehof velrni rozvetvenjr rod, spliznen pfedevgfm po pfeslici s nekolika jinjr mi rody, tu at' jii pfimo ei nepffmo sidlil of do dvacatjch let sedumnacteho stoletf. V roce 1628 koupil pak zdej gf zamek a mesto s okolim nejvyggf velitel cfsafskjrch vojsk behem 30 lets valky Albrecht z Vald gtejna, jet pfipojil hostinnske panstvi k svemu frjdlantskemu vevodstvf. Po Valdgtejnove zavraidenf v Chebu v roce 1634 bylo Hostinne pfeclano Vilemovi Lambojovi spolu s olegnickjim zamkem; od to doby zamek v Hostinnem (pfivodne hrad) ztracel na sve dfilefitosti, ponevadl dal gf majitele bydleli v zamku olegnickem. Vilern Lamboj zalofil ye meste Jesuitske stfedisko, jef bylo pro nevalne nadace iadem v roce 1659 opu gteno; budova faclu pfegla do spravy obce, ktera v ni zffdila gkolu. Lambojfiv syn zvanjr Jan Lambert, (zemfel v roce 1669), se v Hostinnem zalofit klagter frantigkanu, k eemuf do glo of 8 let po jeho smrti v roce 1677. Kratce pfedtfm, v roce 1653, bylo me'stu Hostinnemu udeleno pray° 3 vjrroenich trhil Fer dinandem III, jel' vladl v letech 1637-1657. Pozdeji dostalo mesto povolenf od Maxmiliana z Lamberka k vybfranf mjtneho a poplatku na opravu hradeb a rfiznjrch mestskjch budov. Koncem minuleho stoletf bylo pak tu alodaenf panstvi neboli majetek bez lenniho zavazku (vet gina pozemkti byla lesy) hrabete Deyma, k nemui patfil zamek s kapli, dvur v Novjch Zamkach, pivovar a dal gf 3 dvory v Hostinnem. Mesto Hostinne, nemeckjrm jmenem Arnau, le2IeI na trati koncem minuleho stoletf zvane Severo-zapadnf dray (Chlumec nad Cidlinou - Porief) ma historickji dekanskj kostel Nejsvetej gf Trojice ze XIV stoletf, franti g kansk y ' kla g ter s kostelem Neposkrneneho Poeetf Panny Marie a klagter Vorgilek. Historicke hlavni namestf ma dokola domy s podloubfm, jet vybfha i do pfilehljch ulic. Toto mesto melo koncem minuleho stoleti tovarnu na stroje, vjrrobnu dratu a dratenjrch sftf, slevarnu kovu, papirny, pfadelny Inu, tovarnf vjrrobu textihu'ho zboff, cementarnu, pivovary, valcove mljmy, plynarnu a tovarnu rjrioveho gkrobu.

Mesto Hostinne ma sloiitjr historickjr znak. Zakladnfm prvkem tohoto opravdu pfekrasneho znaku je modrjr gtft, jel dole ma stribrnou zed ei hradbu, uprostfed s otevfenou branou a v ni nahoru vytalenou ieleznou mfilf.

Nad hradbou vynikajf 2 stribrne etythranne vele po obou stranach brany, kaida s okny, eervenou stfechou a zlatymi banemi, tehdy tef zvanjmi makovicemi. Skrze branu a nad hradbou je videt lipovy strom, na jehof vrcholku sedf rozkffdlenj orel, brunatne barvy. Pied zdf na kald 'e strane bratty stojf dva obfi. Obr na prave strane se opfra pravou rukou o tit eeskeho kralo ystvf (eerveneho Iva ye stifbrnem poli), levy obr se °Ora levou rukou o gtft svateho Vaclava

(eernou orlici ye stribrnem poli), a druhou rukou oba z °brit dr2I stuhu, znaefcf dejiny, vinouci se pies kmen Ifpy. — Na starobyle mesto Hostinne navazuje nepfimo i hrad Wizmburk, jeho zficenina se nachazf mezi rozlehlou vesnicf Rtyni (dejigtem Jiraskova historickeho romanu Skalaci) v fipatf Zaltmansk 3ich hor a mestem Opicf na fete Upe. Tento hrad zaloienj asi v polovine XIII stoletf vlastnil v roce 1300 Arno gt z Hostinneho, otec pozdej gfho prvnfho prafskeho arcibiskupa Arno gta z Pardubic. (Wizmburk byl za Jiffho z Dube opugten a slouzii pak za utulek loupefivjm rytiffim. Proto byl v roce 1447 rozboten.) — Tu v Hostinnem v Podkrkonogf se narodil 31. kvetna 1841 — pfed 145 lety malt, tiskaf a vynalezce Vaclav Karel Klfe. Po zaklaanfm vzdelanf v rodnem meste studoval malffstvf na pralske akademii a pak vytvofil portrety Bofeny Nemcove, Alice Naprstkove, spoluzakladatele Sokola Jindficha Fiignera a jinjrch. Z Prahy ode gel do Brna a pozdeji, ye syjrch 28 letech, v roce 1869 do Vidne. Vaclav K. Klfe si zahy pak ziskal oblibu syjmi iiustracemi a karikaturami v fade humoristickjch easopisu. V oboru grafiky g patna reprodukce jeho dfevorytfi ho pfimela k pruzkumUm novjch zptisobu pfena genf nakresu mechanickjmi prostfedky. Po delgfm studiu se mu pak podaiilo podstatne zlepgit celjr proces heliogravury (svetlo tisku - to je pfenesenf obrazu na medennj gtoeek). Na Novjr rok 1878 vygly pak v novinach prvnf obrazky tigtene Klfeovou metodou, zvanou tehdy ye stare vlasti "klfeotypie." A prave tento vynalez Karla Vaclava Klfee, Cecha z Podkrkono gf se stal zakladem prave se vyvfjfcfho svetpveho grafickeho prfimyslu. Nejochotneji pfijala tuto novou Klfeovu reprodukenf tiskovou metodu Anglie kde se Klfe usadil na dell dobu, aby hledal inspiraci v pracich eeskeho grafika Vaclava Hollara, pobelohorskeho exulanta, jeho odval vitr ze stare vlasti do Anglie vic jak 210 let pfedtfm. Ku konci sveho livota Vaclav K. K116 se pies Prahu vratil do Vida, kde se Vic:1y hrde hlasil k svemu eeskemu pfivodu. Tu zemfel po dell nemoci pfed 60 lety, 16. listopadu 1926, ve staff 85 let. Malif a grfik Vaclav Karel KR je jednim z dlouhe lady nagich "neznamjch geniu", kteH se zasloufili o velkjr rozmach vedy a umenf ye stare vlasti.

Necht' spousta urnelcu, vedcil i vynikajfcfch jednotlivcit vgech molnjrch oboru, spolu s bohatjmi dejinami stare vlasti, je v gem nam vjrzyou k lasce i k hrdosti k nagemu rodnemu pfivodu, kterjr tu v Texasu nazjrvame nage narodnf dedictvf.
