David Janak

Sales Representative Re-Activated In 1984, Dallas lodge No. 130 was proud to have David Janak as a new sales representative fully trained and ready to get started.

However, situations changed and David found he had no time to devote to serving the membership .. He became an inactive agent.

Now, in 1990, we are happy to report that David has more time and has been re - activated. He is fully qualified to meet your insurance needs. If you live in the North Dallas or Plano area, give David a call at 214 517 - 5526.

Lodge No. 13, Dime Box held its regular monthly meeting on Sunday, March 18 with eight members present.

Due to the absence of our president and vice president, Secretary Sister Dorothy Rackel called the meeting to order.

The pledge to the flag was recited by all.

Our secretary read the last month's minutes, the treasurer's report was given and all were accepted as given.

Several items of business were discussed, including the SPJST Picnic to be held on May 27th.

Our April meeting will be held on April 22 instead of the third Sunday (the 15th) of April since that is Easter Sunday.

It was a real nice meeting even though we had a poor attendance. The weather was so pretty, I guess everyone was working in their gardens or yards.

The regular 2 p.m. starting time will be the- same even though "Daylight Savings Time" will begin this day.

A luncheon and fraternal hour will convene after the business meeting.

The March monthly meeting on the 4th convened on time with all reports being accepted as given. It was noted that the lodge started its 92nd year even though the charter was granted on the 19th. An announcement was made by FAC AJ. "Tony" Kelner, that letters were sent out to all 50 - year pin recipients and that plans were being made to present these pins in the May monthly meeting with a representative of the Supreme Lodge being present.

He also stated that he had extended an invitation to these persons to attend all of our meetings not only the May meeting. The "Chair" added that this invite also is extended to all members to attend meetings. Several motions were made and passed to take care of lodge business.

Brother Albert Lnpik won the door prize.

The luncheon and fraternal hour went by very quickly and the hour was more like an hour and a half or more.

Adding to the items furnished by the lodge were Sisters Haverda, Kasmir, Kortis, Kovar, H. Kelner and Nezval along with Brothers Lupik and "Tony" Kelner.

On another subject, in the bi annual meeting on March 1 lth, the Czech National Cemetery Association voted to have a cleanup day at the cemetery prior to "Easter Sunday." It will be held Saturday, April 7th. More on this later.

Over the President Dennis Hermis from Lodge past 30 years, he and his wife, Rose, 142 when he said the Choral Group through their many activities in SPJST have always tried to promote Czech from Lodge 88 had a lot of "Oass;" heritage. that should make anybody proud.

Also, in our District V meeting,

Brother Zdenek Nedbalek, president of lodge 196, broughtto our attention the poor medical situation in a children's hospital in Prague. We hope to bring you further details in a future Vestnik, how we will have the opportunity to promote our fraternalism in helping these children with our donations.

Our monthly · lodge meeting was held March 12 at Lodge 88.

President Jerry Ermis called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. with the youth presenting the flags after which Jerry read the names of two members deceased since the February meeting; they were Alvin Raymond and Geraldyne Weishaupt.

I'm mentioning only the highlights of the meeting.

FAC Homer Alexander announced that, due to some conflict, the Defensive Driving Course for April 5th and 6th has been cancelled. It may be resolved, and may have it in May. Our Youth Leader Barbara Linney gave a nice talk. The Easter egg hunt will be Saturday, April 7 at Lodge 88, a week before Easter because many youth will be out of town on Easter weekend, and would miss the fun.

Entertainment Chairman Harley Cox was so excited about the well attended dances, especially the battle dances. He says he'll have more battle dances in 1990; although I have a personal comment -- some of us like the Big - Name Bands· or ballroom dances, too. Be sure and watch your monthly calendar on page 15 of the Vestnik -- the dances are listed.

Those in charge of the March 10, 1990 Battle Dance were Leland and Dorothy Hensley, Jo Cloud, Sally McCoy and Bobbie and La Wand Swayzie.

Men's Club President Ed Miculka always has so much humor in his report. The men had a big project recently -- cleaning the chandelier. He said a half - dozen men were drenched, while they used a hose with a cleaner. He said the abdomens were in the way when. they'd get on the ladder. He said they even tried to go up the ladder turned around, but nothing worked. Believe me, everyone agrees -­ the chandelier is beautiful, now.

Thank you -- that's fraternalism. Ed also, especially, thanked Gus Urbanovsky for repairing the see - saw and painting it. We'll have everything in good shape by June 3 "Homecoming."

Board Chairman Karel Lindemann gave a good report on all the transactions they do.

Dramatic Club President Marceil Malak announced that, due 'to some conflicts, the English play has been postponed from April to June 17, and May 20 will be Czech play. We are looking · forward to these plays. There is so much work involved, so let's give them a helping hand.

NOW here is Brother Souchek's announcement. He's busy teaching Czech to 30 students in his present class. He taught us one thing -­ " Always put things back where they belong, such as a hearing aide -- put it in the ear, where it does most good."

On May 5 and 6, Rosenberg has a Czech Fest and, of course, Helen Hegwood is there to open the fest, with her beautiful voice and, cfcourse, our great Concert Orchestra and the Choral Group were asked to perform, so let's go and show our interest.

Remember -- The Conťrol Center of your life is your attitude.

Lake Worth Resident Shares Joy In New Czechoslovakian Freedoms Courtesy: lake Worth Times *SaginawRecord [March 15, 1990] By: Julie Thannum Finding an officially - stamped invitation from Washington, D.C. in his mail was probably the last thing on local resident Jerry Milan's mind as he returned from a trip to Naples,

Florida, last month.

But within a matter of hours of returning to his lake Worth home, the SOKOLFortWorth vice president was on the steps of the Czechoslovakian Embassy, eager to meet the president of the CzechoslovakRepublic.

"My wife (Henrietta) and I were in Naples, Florida at an art show," Milan said. "We came in late Monday

(February 19), and when I got home there was an invitation in the mail from the CzechoslovakianEmbassy. I didn't want to miss such a great opportunity.''

Milan immediately began working on arrangements for the trip and later that night flew to Washington, D.C. for the February 20 reception. "I thought the first thing I needed to do was get the gallery passes for President (Vaclav) Havel's speech to the joint session of Congress," Milan said, adding all tickets were gone, but Representative Pete Geren's office helped him secure a ticket for the event.

Milan said the reception featured about 800 guests and was held in a tent built onto the Czech Embassy. All kinds of Czech pastries and foodswere served to the reception guests and entertainment was provided by a Czech rock star.

"The president then came and addressed the group," said Milan. "I got to shake hands with him --- it was great."

Another highlight of the evening was when Milan was able to meet Shirley Temple Black, an honored guest of the reception.

"But I didn't even get her autograph," said Milan, who conversed with Black and even got to hold her hand as she descended the stairs.

Also, Milan got to meet President Havel's wife, Olga. The two even got their picture taken together.

The next day Milan sat in on President Havel's speech to the joint session.

"One of the aides took me in where the Congress meets," Milan said. "I was looking right down on the floor looking right down at him (Havel). I thought it (the speech) was fantastic."

Milan said the most impressive aspect of Havel's speech was that he came to the United States with no intention of asking for financial aid.

"He didn't want his children to be indebted," Milan said. "He just wanted to talk about things that are important in life. He said he is not a politician and that there are more important things in life than being governed by politics."

During his speech Havel said, "When Thomas Jefferson wrote that, 'Governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent -of the governed,' it was a simple and important act of the human ipirit. What gave meaning·to that act, owever, was the fact that the author l xked it up with his life. It was not just his words, it was his deeds as well."

Haveldescribed recent worldevents as "accelerated history."

"I believe that once again, it willbe the human mind that will notice this acceleration, give it a name, and transform those words into deeds,'' Havel said.

The Czechpresident said at the time of his latest arrest on October 27, he was living in a country ruled by the most conservative Communist government in Europe.

"Less than four months later, "he said, "I am speaking to you as the representative of a country that has set out on the road to democracy, a country where there is complete freedom of speech, which is getting ready for free elections, and which wants to create a prosperous market economyand its own foreign policy."

Milan said as evident from Havel's speech, the Czechs want to pay their own way and work for their freedom.

He said many politicians claimed

President Havel was one of the best speakers they have ever heard in Washington.

"It wasn't a typical politician's speech asking for financial help,'' Milan said, reflecting on his experience. "It was more of a sermon on mankind. He made a lot of politiciansstop and think about what's really important in the world."

"Consciousness precedes being,'' Havel told thé politicians, "and not the other way around, as the Marxists claim. For this reason, the salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and in human responsibility."

Milan said the highlight of the entire trip was just being there and being able to "rub elbows" with Czech officials. "The fact that Czechoslovakia·is free again made it even more special,'' said Milan, whose paren-ts were born in Czechoslovakia. Milan's family has been involved in SOKOLclubs since 1910.

In January, Milan was able to attend a convention honoring the 125th birthday of the SOKOL gymnastics organization. SOKOLwas re - organized in Czechoslovakiathis year after being banned by Communist rulers in 1948. The organizationwas refoundedjust weeks followingnews that the country was free of Communistic rule.

The changes in world events happened so quickly, that the SOKOL convention was held in Paris. Milan, like other SOKOL officials, is hoping the 1992 celebration will be held in Czechoslovakia.

"It's amazing to see the difference in Czechoslovakia since it's now out from under the Communist's rule,'' Milan said. "There's a whole new attitude among the people. Before, no one talked to each other --- and especially not to strangers. Now there's more of an openess.

"I didn't realize that it would happen so fast,'' Milan added of the country's freedom. "I don't want it to stop."

Oddíl Dopisovatelů Vzpomínka na pouť do Ríma k svatořečení Anežky české v

9. až 16. listopadu 1989 Třídílný článek, druhá část -­ Sepsal John J. Karas z Houstonu.

Pokračování z minulého Věstníku Vraťme se nyní k pozdnímu sobotnímu odpoledni 11. listopadu, v předvečer kanonizace Anežky Přemyslovny. Přicházejíc s Marvinem Markem a jeho ženou ke kostelu sv.

Klementa víc jak hodinu před začátkem české mše viděli jsme tu zaparkováno nejméně 20 autobusů a spoustu poutníků před basilikou a v jejím okolí. Jelikož chrám nebyl ještě úplně přeplněn tak jsme se všichni tři dostali blízko, pravou stranou, k hlavnímu oltáři. Kolem nás byli poutníci ze Štětí severně od Prahy.

Stětí, o kterém jsem dříve ani nevěděl, že existuje, není však tak blízko u Prahy. Toto město se nachází na ohbí Labe severovýchodně od Roudnice nad Labem, asi třetinu cesty mezi Mělníkem a Litoměřicemi. Štětí je dle mapy asi tak velké jako středomoravský Hulín ležící asi 10 kilometrů jižně od mého rodného Přerova. Tito poutníci nás nechali ochotně s nimi zpívat z jejich zpěvníků a pak si s námi vyměnili jejich tkané emblémy za naše kovové tříbarevné odznaky kulatého tvaru, nahoře s českým lvem, ve středu s podobiznou světice Anežky a po jejím boku se svislým nápisem "svatá Anežko česká oroduj za nás." Vodrovně je na odz­ naku napsáno "Řím 1989." Před mší, během modlení se celým kostelem slavného růžence, jsme se dostali též napravo od nás do kaple sv. Cyrila, mladšího bratra sv. Metoděje. (Sv. Cyril a Metoděj přinesli křesťanstsví na Moravu ve slovanském jazyce v roce 863. Tito bratři jsou nazýváni apoštoly Slovanů a spolupatrony Evropy.) Tato kaple a ostatky sv. Cyrila po hřbené v této basilice spolu s částí ostatků sv.

Klementa, třetího papeže, které do Říma přinesl sv. Cyril z misie k Chazarům na Krymu byly důvodem obětování české mše tu v tomto chrámě spřízněném s · našími dějinami v předvečer Anežčina svatořečení.

Hlavním celebrantem této mše byl tu olomoucký biskup František Vaňák, spolucelebrantem byl náš oblíbený tex­ asko český biskup Jan L. Mořkovský s asistencí dalšího kněžstva. Olomoucký biskup Frant. Vaňák měl k nám krásné vlastenecké kázání, které by si měl přečíst každý roduvěrný. krajan i roduvěrná krajanka.

(Citováno doslova.) Milovaní poutníci, kteří jste připutovali do Věčného města, zvláště vy Moravané a Slezané z arcidiecéze olomoucké a diecéze brněnské, ctitelé sv. Cyrila a Metoděje a zároveň také ctitelé naší velké světice Anežky Přemyslovny! Vítám vás v Římě, v srdci a středisku celého katolického světa tam kde strmí cirkve týmě, jak

28. března 1990 zpíváme v papežské hymně. Vítám vás v tomto chrámě, u hrobu sv. Cyrila, ve u hrobu našeho velikého apoštola sv. svaté nadšenosti prosili jsme Boha, Cyrila, který zde v Římě dokonal svou abychom na přímluvu sv. Cyrila a pozemskou pouť a zde vedle ostatků Metoda víru svou zachovali, a aby sv. Klimenta, papeže římského, našel i všichni ti, kteréž bratry svými poslední odpočinek pro své znavené nazýváme, jedno byli, abychom se na tělo.

Petrově skále všichni sjednotili.

Anežky české v neděli 12. listopadu 1989 ve svatopeterské bazilice v Rímě, V neděli 12. listopadu, v den svatořečení naší Anežky české, bylo opět krásné i když studené ráno, které se pak změnilo v bezvětrný slunečný den. Anežka zřejmě nám vyprosila pro římskou pouť nádherné počasí jelikož před naším příjezdem do Říma bylo tam téměř týden zataženo s častými dešťovými přeháňkami. Po osmé hodině v tento veliký svátek jsme se zase řadili s mnoha jinými skupinami vesměs z Československa na svatopeterském náměstí, kde během dlouhého čekání se zpívaly jak kostelní tak světské písně a začalo fotografovaní. Z naší výpravy a vlastně ze všech Čechoameričanů jichž přijelo v různých skupinách kolem jednoho tisíce byl to jen kolega Alden Smith z Abbottu v Texasu a já z Houstonu v národních krojích staré vlasti. Alden měl sebou kostelní korouhev s byzanským křížem, s mapou Texasu, s anglickým nápisem "Czechs and Moravians of Texas" a českým tex­ tem "Maria, zůstaň matkou lidu svému." Tato korouhev se zaslouženě těšila velké pozornosti jak tu tak i jinde na naší římské pouti. Já jsem přivezl sebou československý prapor a prapor státu Texasu, oba stejné velikosti, 64 cm šířky a Im 12 cm délky (tu u nás 25 x 44 palců). Texaský prapor zmíněné velikosti nebylo zrovna snadné zakoupit; chtěl jsem však mít oba prapory stejné velikosti, abych v případě potřeby je oba mohl mít na jedné žerdi. Sebou jsem ovšem měl pro tyto prapory dvě skládací žerdě.

Přivezl jsem též tři vlastoručně mnou udělané propagační cedule velikosti 30 x 40 cm (zhruba 12 x 16 palců v našich amerických mírách). První z nich měla text Český Texas, druhá byla dvoujazyčná s textem Sv. Anežko

28. března 1990-VĚSTNÍK/13 česká oroduj za nás - St. Agnes of Bohemia pray for us a na třetí z nich bylo Houston, Texas, USA. Jelikož jsem nemohl to vše (2 prapory a tři cedule) zvládnout sám, tak mi v tento slavný den pomohl s praporem Texasu a s jednou cedulí spolupoutník Rober­ to Bernal, ministrant českého kněze a spolupoutníka Ladislava Daňka z Freeportu v Texasu.

pražského kardinála Tomáška a ar­ cibiskupa Sokola z Trnavy na Sloven­ sku a již se rozsvítila všechna světla k příchodu papeže a jeho doprovodu.

Mezitím celá bazilika zpívala velehrad­ skou hymnu "Bože cos ráčil" a mariánský chorál "Tisíckrát pozdravu­ jeme Tebe" a pak za velikého potlesku již přicházel průvod s papežem Janem Pavlem II. Během následující

pontifikální mše zazněla též poprve píseň složená k Anežčinu svatořečení jež nás oslovila takto: "Chudobu volíš, chudým jsi matkou -zhrdnout už světskou rozkoší vratkou --Smířilas hněvy, vyplelas sváry -­ zhoj českéduše ten neduch starý -­ Zachovej, vzácná ochrano země, čisté a svaté své české plémě!"

Kanonizační obřady začaly během této slavnépro náš národ tak historické bohoslužby čtením životopisu sv.

Anežky (a tež životopisu Adama A. Chmielewského)a zpívanými litaniemi ke všem svatým. Pak papež pronesl kanonizační formuli načež následovala "Gloria" a potom modlitba k právě svatořečené naší Anežce a též i k nyní svatořečenémupolskému světci.

V tento okamžik mi maně přišla na mysl tu ve svatopeterské bazilice krásná píseň k naší Anežcečeské"Vítej družko nebešťanů, kterou znám zpaměti. Tato teď k mému článku přiložená píseň byla složena a zhudebněnajak k svátku této světice2. března tak i k slavnostní vzpomíncena její blahořečení· v minulém století.

(Změníme - li "bl." na "sv." ve větě uzavřené závorkami hned pop. titulem přiložené písně a vyměníme před­ poslední slovo "blažená" za "svá - á tá" v obou slokách, tak tato píseň je skvělýmpozdravem naší nové světicev českém nebi a zároveň i prosbou o Anežčinu ochranu staré vlasti v nynější pohnuté době.)

na všechny poutníky obzvláště zapůsobil trojí burácející Amen, amen, ááámen a příboj potlesku po kanonizační formuli pronesené prvním slovanským papežem Janem Pavlem II. Do tetó slavnostní odpovědi se vlévaly jak veškeré prosby, naděje a bolesti předešlých generací tak předsevzetí a odhodlanosti dosáhnout TED' s Anežčinou přímluvou lepších zítřků. Když pak papež po mši odcházel se svým průvodem od oltáře tak bazilikou se velebně nesla známá kostelní píseň "Tobě Bože chvála, dík" česky i polsky, jelikož nápěv je stejný.

Závěrem k nedělnímu svatořečení Anežky Přemyslovny, dopoledne 12. listopadu, musím vyzvednout zbožnou usebranost tolika tisíců poutníků ze staré vlasti; tato usebranost přímo vyzařující z tváří všech těchto krajanů a velebnost slavné pontifikální mše s kanonizací naší Anežky ztěží zanechaly suché oko tento a.en ve svatopeterské bazilice. Venku na svatopeterském náměstí začalo znovu víc jak dvouhodinové fotografování poněvadž zřejmě každý chtěl mít na památku z Říma snímek nás dvou krojovaných Texanů s prapory i s cedulemi. Tu též jsme vyhověliřadě lidí ze staré vlasti v krojích i bez krojů, se vyfotografovat s námi takže nyní jsme zvěčněni ve fotoalbumech v mnoha místech v Československu.Také nás tu filmovala anglická, francouzská, italská a německá televise a byli zde i další televisní filmaři, kteří se nám však nepředstavili. Přitom se snažilo dělat s námi rozmluvy (interviews) několik novinářů - reportérů jak ze staré vlasti tak i z jiných zemí. K dalšímu dlouhému fotografování došlo příští den, před i po audienci s papežem a též i v dalších dvou dnech na naších výletechdo Assisi a na Monte Cassino.

Toho fotografování byo tolik, že kdybych za každou pózu k snímku dostal pětadvacet centů tak bych měl pár stovek dolarů.

Jak již v tomto článku zmíněno, my dva krojovaní Texané s korouhví, prapory a cedulemi jsme byli středem ~ ~ ~ pozornosti a takřka stálého fotografování ze všech stran. Nakonec mi s mými cedulemi čas od času pomáhalo pár šohajů z moravského Slovácka a děvuch z Lašska. Na celé to víc a více se plnící veliké svatopeterské náměstí se dívala z velkéh obrazu v životní velikosti naše Anežka Přemyslovna nad hlavním vchodem v průčelí baziliky sv. Petra. Poblíž byl rovněž obraz polského mnicha Adama Alberta Chmielewského, který byl taktéž prohlášen svatým. Ač původně měla být ten den prohlášena svatou jen naše Anežka česká tak k dalšímu svatořečení došlo z tohoto důvodu: V předběžném stadiu Anežčiny kanonizace se tehdy z lehce pochopitelných příčin počítalo jen asi ze 3,000 českých poutníků takže aby svatopeterská bazilika nebyla téměř poloprázdná, byl připojen zmíněný již polský kandidát svatosti. K tomuto n 1c. rozhodnutí zejména přispělo časté pro­ hlašování polských kněží v Římě, že polští poutníci baziliku lehce zaplní.

Nakonec to dopadlo tak, že na římskou pouť přijelo kolem 15,000 Čechů a Slováků z domova i z ciziny a Poláků sotva 1,500 z okolí Vratislavi I ve Slezsku a z Krakovska. Poutníků bylo tedy pro baziliku mnoho a pro . v , .

Nakonec se to vyřešilo tak, že Mimochodem: Mimo mého kroje z 1988 v Medjugorje (v Mezihoří) v odstraněním sedadel a židlí v některých jižní Moravy, mimo mého velkého Jugoslávii! částech velechrámu vzniklo natolik Vraťme se k sv.

14/VĚSTNÍK-28.

března 1990

sbohem- goodbye s Pánem Bohem- goodbye na shledanou- see you later nazdar- hello, cheerio The most useful term is "dobrý den". Its common usage is relatively new, but it has almost replaced "dobré odpoledne" meaning "good after­ noon" and has been making inroads in replacing even "dobré ráno" or "dobré jitro". "Dobrý den" has replaced also quite a few overly polite greetings such as "poklona, má úcta, rukulíbám, etc." Good riddance.

religious meaning has been slowly lost in the common usage, therefore, it is written now as one word, "sbohem", instead of "s Bohem".

The religious meaning has been largely preserved with the longer form of the same greeting "s Pánem Bohem", and, therefore, it is usually written as three separate words with capital letters. Literal translation would be "with Lord God." Occa­ sionally, you may see it written as one word, "spánem bohem".

"Dobrý večer" and "dobrou noc" is used similarly as in this country. The same is true of "na shledanou".

*** *** "Dobré ráno" is used more in the country, while "dobré jitro" is more common in the cities. "Dobré jitro" is becoming more and more common.

Since "jitro" is a poetic word and not otherwise commonly used, you may run across an abbreviation "dobrýtro", which is strictly collo­ quial.

"Sbohem" has a religious origin.

Literal translation is "with God" and traces apparently to the phrase"Jdi (or Jděte) s Bohem". "Jdi" is singular, while "Jděte" is plural imperative (meaning "Go with God"). The

"Nazdar" was made popular by the Sokols, and in this country it was regarded as a special Sokol greeting.

This is no longer so. "Nazdar" is very common, and no longer connected with Sokol use exclusively.When you meet someone who is older or whom you do not know closely, then the greeting of "dobrý den" would come to your lips, while a close friend or contemporary you would greet with "nazdar". From the point of an English-speakingperson, the usage of "nazdar" is peculiar in the sensethat it
