They also took part in leadership and first-aid workshops.

The LITs developed a one-minute

commercial on why you should be a part of the youth program. DYC Anita Roye video taped the commercials and the LITs were able to critique thernsel­ ves afterwards. Thé teens came up with some innovative commercials!

SEMINAR HELD IN SEYMOUR

DISTRICT IV DIRECTOR Stanley Broz with sales representatives in Rowena.

The spring sessions of the SPJST Sales Representatives' Continuing Education seminars were held recently in Seymour and Rowena.

SFM Gene McBride conducted the seminars assisted by District IV Direc­ tor Stanley Broz. This course is designed to promote advanced insight into the modern types of insurance and how they meet SPJST members' needs more fully.

Continuing Education for fraternal organizations is not required by the Texas State Board of Insurance, but to better serve the membership, the SPJST does require its agents to take six hours of classroom education per year to remain in active status.

Call one of the sales representatives listed on the back page for more infor­ mation. Each one is fully qualified to meet your needs.

FRATERNITY

Fraternity is a lovely plant That grows in a garden place; A plant that can fill your life with peace.

With fragrance and charm and grace.

To brighten the darkest sky; A plant that can lend its color rare A plant that can banish lonelinness And send away despair.

But whether it blooms depends on you, For the plant is a fragile one; You must warm its leaves with the golden light Of affection's shining sun; You must plant its roots in the fertile soil Of a thousand thoughtful deeds; And must keep it free of distrust and doubt, For distrust and doubt are weeds.

Dear Members and Friends: We did get some rain, something everyone has been asking for; but it still is humid and hot.

A reminder of NO MEETING on July 8, but hope to see you all on Sun­ day, August 12 at 3 p.m.

All the groups leaving for Europe are busy getting ready; July 3rd will be here before they know it.

I'm happy to report Brother B.J. Cleveland was just released from the hospital after an eleven-day stay from his Curtain Call fall at Casa Manana after doing "Gypsy." He has several shows scheduled, but will be out for awhile. Good luck B.J. and get well soon!

We heard this morning from Sister Vera Richards of Seattle, Washington that her grandfather, Joe Vitovski of Kunovice, (Uherské Hradiste) passed away. He hoped he would live until Vera; her husband, Brother Bruce, and children, Paul and Kristyna, also our members, arrived to visit. They did get to spend several weeks with the fami­ ly. It was Vera's first trip home since she came to the United States several years ago. We extend our sincere sym­ pathy to all the family and may he rest in peace. He was 90.

We extend our congratulations to Brother Johnny and Sister Lucille Kret who just returned from a trip to Las Vegas where they celebrated their 52nd anniversary; and to Brother Carl and Sister Christine Zich of Lodge 92 who celebrated their 50th anniversary at the National Hall, with a delicious dinner and dance with the Cen-Tex Band. The hall was beautifully decorated and everyone had a good time. We got to see so many friends we haven't seen in a long time. We hope you all have many more.

Sister Mona Lee Hattendorf along with her sister-in-law, Frieda Hatten­ dorf, returned home from a wonderful trip, where they visited Holland, Ger­ many, Switzerland, France and England. They celebrated Frieda's 80th birthday in Paris. On July 20th, Sister Mona and family will go to Jacksonville, Florida to celebrate her son, Bill's retirement.

Sister Jeanie Mason was really surprised Wednesday, June 20th when she entered Vance Godbey's with her daughter, Billie Jo, and Dr. Richard Bartlett to a private dining room with over 60 present for her 70th birthday given by her children, before she leaves for Paris and other countries; some who missed said that they would celebrate her day in Paris on July 5th.

Have many more, Jeanie! They will also celebrate Rose Steinman's on July 22nd before they leave on the 23rd.

Have fun and get home safely.

I was surprised Saturday at the Splash Day celebration at the Eagle's Point Apartment where I won the "Resident of the Year Award" with a reduction in my July rent, and I mean it was a pleasant surprise.

We extend our sincere sympathy to the family of Sister Euna Mae Kret who passed away on July 17th. May she rest in peace.

We extend our sincere sympathy to Sister Agnes Chandler on the loss of ber husband Leon and his granddaughter, Sister Kara Chris­ topher, who called him Po Po. May he rest in peace.

"We had a wonderful show with a wonderful cast and I had a great part," the actor said from his hospital bed in Fort Worth's Harris Hospital. "Tues­ day night we got great reviews and had a great crowd."

But Friday night's performance was plagued by snafus, he said. A newsboy in the cast got sick and Cleveland had to rechoreograph the part .with a girl.

Then his shoe broke on stage.

"During my big feature number my left contact (lens) fell out and I did the "'** number half blind," he recalled.

When someone found his contact and returned it to him, Cleveland breathed a sign of relief and felt the evening's jinx was over.

"All I had left to do was the curtain call," he added. "I was running off stage when I fell down the ramp and into the aisle."

Cleveland said the doctor immedi­ ately put his leg in traction and he can remember someone stroking his head and telling him, "It's okay B.J.--iťs okay." The good samaritan was Paula Phipps, his co-star in Amadeus.

News From Lodge No. 183, Arlington To All of Our Lodge Members and Friends: Once again, it seems that the weather and the extreme temperatures in the North Central Texas region are the hot topics for these current times. Do you remember just six months ago during the Christmas holidays that the temperature fell to below freezing for a couple of days. Then along came spring and the consistent rains and severe flooding in adjacent areas. Now we are getting blistered by the relent­ less heat. But not to worry. Soon another type of weather pattern will replace the present one and give us more topics of conversation. Most folks will agree that an intelligent con­ versationalist is one who nods his head in agreement while they're talking.

The meetings of the Arlington Wed­ ding Association have continued on a regular basis. They will have a promo­ tion at the Arlington Convention Cen­ ter in the near future and SPJST Lodge 183 wil' be represented. We will have a booth with pictures of our lodge to show off our facilities. The other members of this fine association will have representatives occupying their booths in hopes of attracting.the abun­ dant wedding market.

Inez Greenlees has continued to remain an active member repre­ sentative of our lodge in the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. This group meets on a regular basis and almost every month it seems that they are welcoming a new business to our com­ munity. When a new business opens its doors in our area and joins the Cham­ ber of Commerce, an open house is held to help promote the enterprise.

Our president has attended several of these cordial affairs. This affiliation has an annual promotion also held at the Arlington Convention Center. We have participated with a booth in these functions for the past two years to help promote our optimistic undertaking. . The preparations for Arlington's an­ nual Fourth of July Parade from our standpoint are nearing finalization.

When you read this letter, the holiday will have come and gone but, at this point, we are making numerous preparations for this year's entry. We will have a convertible lead our entry with several members riding and waving. Next, we will have a truck pulling a decorated trailer complete with the Mynarcik Band and several . more members. We need to get there moderately early (6:30 to 7:00 a.m.) to start decorating. The parade has been limited to 150 entrants for this year due to the large number participating in last year's parade. We, willbe about the 34th entry. Everyone who will be a part of this celebration and owns a Czech costume is getting it ready to wear on the 4th. All those associated with this year's entry in the parade are getting excited. Time sure flies, when you 're having fun.

These are just a few of the examples of the civic activities being performed by some of the members of Lodge 183.

They are often projects that take a great deal of time and effort, but usual­ ly they are self-rewarding. We would enjoy it more if we could share these good times with a wider circle of our members and friends. As I have stated before, we would welcome the input and assistance of some of our other talented members. With more of our number pulling together, there's no telling what we could accomplish.

It's just like what ~n~ _fr?g_said_ t_~ ~he

other frog while they were dining.

"Time's sure fun, when you're having flies."

A small gathering attended the dance that was held at our lodge on Saturday, June 16th. Many families were on vacation and the following day was Father's Day, attributing to the light crowd. We had a Disc-Jockey who entertained on that evening. He played a variety of different types of music including rock and roll, country­ western, a few polkas and some easy listening sounds. The intrepid in­ dividuals who attended this affair did appear to have a good time. With a lit­ tle concentration, we should be able to improve the attendance at our · func­ tions, but I've heard that middle-age is a tough time for concentration. My husband Robert, says that nowadays about the only time he can keep his mind on two things at once is when Dolly Parton is on television.

At our last lodge meeting, I gave a report concerning some of the duties of a fraternal activities coordinator.

One of the projects I perform is to complete an annual report on activities accomplished by members bf our lodge while they do charitable works and help other organizations. These functions can include visiting disabled individuals and helping with daily and weekly chores, cleaning churches, meeting with other non-profit or­ ganizations, etc. A motion was made to begin keeping a log of these ac­ tivities during the year, to help facilitate the report at the end of the year. This log will be kept at the lodge in the meeting room. It was requested that all individuals who perform these kinds of activities, to please keep them in a written form and turn them in each month at our monthly meeting. Please remember to include the date of the ac­ tivity, the organization helped, the number of hours of performance and a simple description of the work.

A cannibal noticed one day that he was feeling down and in general had the blahs. This went on for some time and nothing that he could do would rid him of his feelings. Not even his favorite sport of hunting could mise his spirits. H: finally left the jungle and went to see a psychologist. He relayed his dilemma to the profes­ sional and was, therefore, given a thorough examination. He was told to return in a week for the results of the tests. When he returned, he asked about his problem. The doctor in­ formed him that his troubles stemmed from being fed up with people.

Stay cool and comfortable.

Jednoty Státu Texas. založené roku 1897

4. července 1990

ČÍSLO 26

Oddíl Dopisovatelů Zprávy ze schůzí CEFT a CESAT Nedávno se konala schůze české vzdělávací nadace státu Texas a několik důležitých bodů bylo projednáno k milému překvapení přítomného sboru ředitelů a úředníků.

Nadace známa pod americkým názvem Czech Educational Founda­ tion of Texas se po dlouhou dobu zajímá o ustanovení katedry českého jazyka, literatury a kultury na některé texaské universitě. Za tímto účelem zahájila sbírky na ustanovení této katedry a doposud bylo vybráno dostatek peněz k tomu, aby se uzavřela smlouva mezi Texaskou universitou v Austině a nadací s tím, že zbývající částka asi 167 tisíc dolarů bude složena do roku 1993 anebo dříve. Běh událostí se zrychlil toto jaro, protože sbor ředitelů měl projednávat částky věnované na ustanovení katedry a schválit částku, kterou přidá univer­ sita. V této chvíli bylo nutno rozhod­ nout o smlouvě mezi nadací a univer­ sitou v době, kdy sbor ředitelů nadace se nemohl svolat a učinit konečné rozhodnutí a tak naštěstí vyjednávací výbor nadace byl na místě a vypracoval smlouvu s universitou v Austině.

Smluva je právnicky obhájitelná a umožňuje nadace velmi silné postavení při rozhodování o podrobnostech, ob­ sazení katedry a spolupráce našich kra­ janů s katedrou.

Zajisté mnozí čtenáři Věstníku, kde jsem uveřejňoval zprávy ze schůzí na­ dace, se zajímá o stav vztahu nadace s universitou. Jak píši výše, Texaská universita v Austině nabídla lepší finanční a vyučovací podmínky, takže ve finančním zabezpečení je nyní v dohledu částka jednoho milionu jako vklad k ustanovení katedry a z úroků této částky se bude věnovat určitá část na zlepšení výuky, obohacení vyučování a jiných věcí, universita za­ jistí platy dvou profesorů, takže sbírka nadace bude dobrým základem pro budoucnost češtiny v Texasu.

Důležitým bodem při vyjednávání byla okolnost, kolik která universita je ochotna přidat k částce nadace a tu se ukázalo, že Texaská universita v Austině se zavázala přidat k dolaru nadace dolar university, takže půl milionu dolaru nadace přinese půl milionu dolarů university a spojením těchto dvou částek se dosáhne jednoho milionu dolarů.

Zůstává tedy pro naši práci přibližně 167 tisíc dolarů a proto sbor ředitelů nadace žádá krajany a příznivce, kteří nadaci podpořili, zda by nemohli učinit totéž v tomto roce, abychom mohli uzavřít zlatou knihu dárců. Chceme také dokončit sepsání historie nadace, původní seznam dárců a také novějších dárců a tak uctít památku snah našich předchůdců, kteří po několik desítek roků se snažili ustanovit katedru českého jazyka, kultury a literatury v Texasu, jinak řečeno stolici českého jazyka, nyní nastala doba a příležitost tento sen uskutečnit.

Nutno také vzít v úvahu důležité změny ve staré vlasti a ostatní

okolnosti, které jsou příznivé pro vztahy mezi lidmi v Československu a v Texasu a není vyloučeno, že rozšíření vztahů mezi krajany bude příznivé pro obě strany.

Nadace je nepolitická a nevýdělečná organisace a příspěvky je možno odep­ sat z daní. Byla založena v roce 1954 za účelem šíření znalosti českého jazyka a kultury v Texasu. I když ustanovení katedry českého jazyka je jedním z důvodů existence nadace, po uskutečnění tohoto záměru nadace bude pokračovat v činnosti. Proto sbor ředitelů a úředníci dokončují pravidla nadace a zjišťují počet členů. Členský příspěvek byl stanoven na 25 dolarů ročně.

Krajané, kteří si přejí zaplatit členský příspěvek, mohou tak učinit na adresu sekretáře nadace: Marvin J. Marek, secretary CEFT, 3218 Hunters Glen, Missouri City, TX 77459. Po zaplacení příspěvku se může osoba zúčastnit schůzí shorn ř.editelů a aktivně ovlivňovat veškerá roznodnutí organisace.

Při zahájení vyučování češtiny a pomalé slavnosti při předávání šeků pro založení stolice se předběžně plánuje návštěva čsl. velvyslankyně Klímové koncem září tohoto roku.

Nadace doufá, že by její návštěva byla velikou příležitostí přivítat paní Klímovou texaským způsobem a příslovečnou pohostinností našich kra­ janů. Universita a nadace by ráda využila této příležitosti k pěkné oslavě.

Další zprávy je možno očekávat později.

Rovněž podávám zprávu z jiné kra­ janské organisace CESAT, jejíž schůze em se s rodinou zúčastnil a tento Spo íek bývalých českých studentů je též aktivní součástí našeho krajanského hnutí v Texasu. Tento spolek pomáhá finančně studentům, kteří potřebují pomoc během studií. V poslední době využívá finanční prostředky k udělení beznávratných stipendií. protože vyřizování půjček je dnes velmi nákladné a časově nevyhovující. Náš pokladní dosáhl velkého úspěchu tím, že získal mnohé půjčky a jiné dlužníky přesvědčil, aby půjčky zaplatili, takže i tam je zaveden pořádek. Organisace podpořila zájezd národopisného souboru Podlužan z Břeclavi na Moravě, udělila finanční dar Drahomírovi Strnadelovi z Trojanovic na Valašsku a s potěšením jsme přijali zprávu o tom, že film natočený Drahomírem Strnadelem se bude promítat ve staré vlasti ve dvou částech a kaseta pak bude poslána do Texasu.

Podle názorů tvůrců půjde o velmi závažný počin z národopisného, historického a prostě krajanského hle­ diska pro naše krajany v Texasu. Již se na promítání těšíme jako členové organisace i osobně, protože mnozí z nás jsme se podíleli na vytvoření tohoto filmu buď jako účinkující anebo jako pomocníci filmařů.

Kromě tohoto projektu je možno uvažovat o dokumentaci stavby sruby neboli budovy z klád v Texasu, po vyt­ voření přesných plánů bude možno vyrobit podobný srub ve skansenu v Rožnově pod Radhoštěm, kde by byl součástí výstavy příbytků. Rovněž Slezské museum v Opavě by rádo věnovala krajanům v Texasu fotoex-

hibici, takže jistě bude možno uvažovat o dalších projektech, které budou prospěšné pro naše krajanny na obou stranách oceánu.

V této souvislosti pan Charles Heyda podal zprávu o letním studiu češtiny ve staré vlasti. Přichází nyní ke změně i v této oblasti spolupráce, protože doposud vládní instituce platily většinu výdajů, nyní budou muset studenti zaplatit asi 350 dolarů a cestu a objevují se některé spolky, které už nyní poskytují podobné služby, takže bude více možností výběru. Změna také nastala v tom, že zájemci o zdokonalení jazyka budou studovat i v Brně (mimo Prahu), takže se více naučí moravstinu a budou mít také bliíž na Valašsko, odkud pochází většina Moravanů z Texasu. (Jen tak mimochodem: v Texasu máme hodně Moravanů či Moravců, když by snad někdo nevěřil, že existuje moravská národnost, ať přijede do Texasu, možná, že i některý černoch se přizná, že je Moravec.

Nevím, odkud přišla myšlenka, že není Morava nebo že není nikdo Moravan či že není , moravská národnost, zůstanu Morav­ ským Slovákem, i kdybych měl být posledním na světě a chci být hodným toho jména.

Takže je možno závěrem říci, že členové obou organisací, Česká vzdělávací nadace státu Texas a Spolek bývalých našich studentů, vykonali veliký kus práce na národním poli a doufejme, že za pomoci příspěvků na nadaci budeme moci oslavit na Texaské universitě v Austině zahájení vyučování češtiny z fondů určených pro stolici českého jazyka, literatury a kultury. Staňte se součástí tohoto historického okamžiku a dostatečným příspěvkem se zapište do historie kra­ janského života v Americe. Mnozí můžete očekávat, že vaši potomci při­ jdou do Texasu studovat naši kulturu s vědomím, že jejich rodiče a prarodiče poslali příspěvek. Není vyloučeno, že někdo by rád zapsal příspěvek do poslední vůle anebo uložil peníze na úrok s notářským potvrzením, že po je­ jich odchodu z tohoto světa mají být tyto peníze uloženy do fondu vyučování češtiny v Texasu. Rovněž je . možno přispět různými tvořivými , způsoby na fond nadace a dotazy i šeky posílejte na výše uvedenou adresu našeho sekretáře do Missouri City, on rád odpoví na všechny dotazy.

Historické události ve staré vlasti ukazují, že je možno změnit chod dějin v tom případě, když napřeme sílu všichni jedním směrem:k prospěchu a užitku našich lidí po celém světě.

Za obě organisace Jan Vaculík

K 100. výročí Bohuslava Martinů (1890 - 1959) "Skromný člověk s velkými lidskými vášněmi" - tak byl nazýván český skladatel Bohuslav Martinů.

Výjimečná osobnost nejen českého, ale i světového hudebního umění. Člověk donucený prožít polovinu svého života

v zahranič', umělec, který byl dvakrát vymazán z české kultury. Jednou za nacistické okupace, podruhé v období studené války, kdy se k nepříznivé politické situaci přiřadilo i profesní a osobní nepřátelství a zabránilo mu vrátit se domů, do země, kterou miloval.

V letošním roce si celý hudební svět připomíná I 00. výročí narození Bohuslava Martinů, a tak se např. součástní mezinárodního hudebního festivalu Pražské jaro stane uvedení 14 oper Bohuslava Martinů. Součástí oslav skladatelova výročí bude odhalení pomníku Bohuslava Martinů v jeho rodné Poličce. Za digitální snímek Řecké pašije Bohuslava Mar­ tinů, na němž se podíleli sólisté Velšské národní opery, Pražský filharmonický sbor a Státní filharmonie Brno za řízení britského dirigenta Charlese Mackerrase (Charles Mackerras) získalo čs. vydavatelství Supraphon v Paříži prestižní gramofonovou cenu za nejlepší operní nahrávku.

Z akcí světových nejrozsáhlejší bude pařížský Festival Bohuslava Martinů v březnu a dubnu 90, na němž pražské Národní divadlo uvede Řecké pašije, Česká filharmonie Symfonii č. l, představí se i další čeští umělci.

Koncertní cykly s účastí čs. interpretů a těles připravuje i Vídeň, Kolín nad Rýnem, Kostnice, Lipsko, Drážďany, Karl-Marx-Stadt, ale i Bulharsko, SSSR, Švýcarsko, Velká Británie, Španělsko...

Muzikologické konference věnované Bohuslavu Mar­ tinů se uskuteční v USA a ve Francii.

Qjedině}á výstava Mimořádným projekterm v historii čs. výstavnictví bude na pražské pěší zóně a v domě U Hybernů výstava pod názvem "Kde domov můj ... 72 let Československa". Chce dokumentovat prědevším "bílá" místa čs. historie a zlomové okamžiky, které byly roky zamlčované, či dokonce úplně měly zmizet z. paměti obou národů. Není náhodou, že výstava "Kde domov můj" je načasovaná před prvními svobodnými volbami v Českosloven­ sku (červen 90). Obdobná výstava proběhne i v Bratislavě - shodná bude exteriérová část, zatímco interiérová část představí práci umělců - českých i slovenských - kteří trpěli v uplynulém dvacetiletí totalitního režimu.

Ekologie Prahy Revolver použitý jako sebevražedná zbraň zabíjí čistě a bezpečně. Revolver připomínají na mapě svým tvarem nejvíce znečištěné části Prahy, zahrnující Staré Město, část Nového Města, Vysočany, Libeň, Holešovice a Smíchov. I tento "revolver" zabíjí pomalu a nehlučně. Normu tu několikanásobně převyšují koncen­ trace oxidu uhlíku a dusíku, průměrná denní koncentrace oxidu síry po 600"/o dní v roce převyšuje nejvyšší přípustnou mez. Vysoko nad normou jsou obsahy těžkých kovů, 750"/o vody nevyhovuje normě. Jaká je cesta k nápravě? Urychlit plynofikaci města a zásobovat současně i obyvatelstvo kvalitním tříděným uhlím s nízkým ob­ sahem síry. Okamžitě omezit pohyb motorových vozidel v centry města, rozšířit pěší zóny a zřídit cyklistické stezky. Kontrolu umožní rozšířený monitorovací systém a pravdivé infor­ mace o inverzích.

PEN-klub v Ceskoslovensku v

Z ilegality vystupuje čs. sekce PEN­ klubu, která se v roce 1925 připojila k mezinárodní literární organizaci, založené v roce 1921 anglickou spisovatelkou C.A. Dawson­ Scottovou, a jehož prvním předsedou byl český spisovatel Karel Čapek. Jeho novým výkonným předsedou je dnes prozaik Ivan Klíma. Činnost klubu byla v roce 1971 v rámci normalizace pozastavena, nikoli však zakázána, protože jde o nadnárodní organizaci.

PEN-klub sleduje dva cíle - prvním je důsledná obrana svobody slova, právo kritiky, a to i vládní politiky. Druhým je navazování kulturních kontaktů se světem. PEN-klub hodlá pomáhat s vydáváním té literatury, která by pro vydavatele v situaci tržní ekonomiky byla ztrátová, což je většina poezie i řada hodnotných děl prózy.

PRÁCE malířů kostromské školy ze 17. století pro vesnické kostely ruské­ ho severu, ale i pro chrámy Moskvy, Suzdalu a Jaroslavle byly postupně. restaurovány a vystavují se nyní v his­ torickém muzeu v Kostromi.
