1991 YOUTH LEADERS' RETREAT·· March 15-17 Camp Tejas • Giddings -SPJST..

On August 18th and 19th, the SPJST youth gathered from all over the state for the annual SPJST State Royalty, Talent and Craft competition.

The Royalty Pageant, held at Lodge 47, Seaton, had youth competing from all seven districts. I believe that I speak for everyone who was present when I say that the quality and com­ petition was at an all time high. All 13 kings and queens did an outstanding job in representing themselves as well as their districts. I am proud of each and everyone of them. We all can rest assured that the SPJST has the finest young men and women to guide our Society into the future.

The competition results are as fol­ lows: Leslie Barnes of Lodge 84, Dal­ las is the new State Queen. Jason Reese of Lodge 47, Seaton is the new State King. Leslie's duchess is Kelly Sims from Lodge 84, Dallas and Jason's duke is David Koslovsky from Lodge 47, Seaton. My congratulations to these fine young people and I look forward to working with them for the upcoming year.

My sincere gratitude to retiring King Bryan Becan of Lodge 84, Dallas and retiring Queen Stephanie Roye of Lodge 30, Taiton for the outstanding job they did in representing the SPJST. My best to you both in all future en­ deavors.

A special thank you to retiring Duke Chris Coker and retiring Duchess Crystal Roye for doing an outstanding job all year and their excellent MC capabilities! · Sunday's YAD had over 200 youth participants in the day's competition. I believe that we had an attendance record of close to 700 people!

The day began with Flag Bearers Jimmie Sheppard and Tommy Rieger of Lodge 29 posting the colors.

Tammy Pechal of Lodge 47, Seaton gave a wonderful solo of the Star Spangled Banner. Tammy gave birth to a girl just days after Sunday's YAD! Congratulations Tammy and David!

Competition began with the special category: story-telling. What a suc­ cess! We had 60 entrants in all age group categories. I don't know who was more excited about .this year's category=the readers, the youth or the judges. All had positive comments to make and perhaps, in years to come, we will have a repeat performance of this category.

Beseda competition had 7 groups participating from Lodge 17, New Tabor; Lodge 30, Taiton; Lodge 47, Seaton and Lodge 84, Dallas. It is refreshing to see the continued dedica­ tion to preserve our Czech heritage.

My compliments to all the leaders, teachers, participants and youth who spend many hours of dedicated prac­ tice in an effort to preserve our forefathers' dance.

The quality of Talent and Craft this year was outstanding. My compliments to the youth and parents who work so hard in preparing for their District and State YADs. My sincerethanks to MCs Tim Reese and Leonard a for doing an out-

District I Camp Dear Readers.

District I Youth Club members had a fun-filled four days of camp from July 19 to July 22. A weak cold front ,.passed through the area a few days earlier and left behind very pleasant weather, that is for the end of July at Camp Val Verde. A total of 43 youth and 1 O adults attended. The youth rep­ resented Lodges 9, 13, 17 and 47.

We arrived at camp at 3 p.m. on Thursday and the first item on the schedule was to make name tags. My idea was greeted by a lot of negative remarks and looks. One camper stated "You want me to wear a cup around my neck for four days. You got to be kidding." The idea was accepted and almost everyone wore their newly­ decorated cup name tags the entire camping period. (If they wanted to drink, they had to have it on.)

After a swimming session, that was shortened by thunder and lightning, we headed down to the river for a

cookout. Hot dogs were our main course. Each camper roasted their own over the fire and even the chili was heated in a cast iron pot over a bed of coals. Done like true "pioneers." Des­ sert was also made over the fire-­ S 'mores, of course. Everyone mastered getting the marshmallows just right.

After supper, the LITs led the group in playing some get-acquainted games.

Each youth was given an Indian name for the rest of camp. "Puff of Smoke." alias Tim Reese, then told the legen­ dary story of the Great Spirit. All were intrigued by the story and I don't know about the rest of you, but I saw him.

Before going to bed, everyone enjoyed a late night swim.

Friday morning, I was greeted with comments I had never heard before at Camp Val Verde. "It was cold last night" and "I had to get up and cut my fan off, I was cold." This made for a very pleasant camp. After breakfast, our day became filled with many ac­ tivities. Basket weaving and T-shirt decorating were our two crafts.

Games, archery, horseback riding, swimming and canoeing filled the hours of the day. And we can't forget everyone's favorite activity-vice cream making. Even SL President Howard Leshikar and District I Director Andrew Vavra made their own homemade ice cream.

Friday night's hamburger cookout was dampened by a brief thunderstorm, but Randy Gaas and Tim Reese braved the slonu to get the burgers cooked while the rest of us were entertained by the LITs and the group IV girls. After enjoying the hamburgers, the group surprised Randy Gaas with a belated birthday cake. It conveniently read "Happy Birthday" Twisted Lost Chef' instead of Randy's real Indian name, "Twisted Lost Chief."

Saturday was filled with all the regular activities and Saturday, after supper, we all headed back to the river for more s'more making and some swimming and canoeing in the river.

We then let the junior campers take a swim in the pool while the teens prepared for a night hike. While the teens tracked all over the camp getting shaving cream, chocolate syrup and marshmallows all over them, the junior group was being entertained by SYD Claudette Reese. No. she didn't sing or dance, she showed the group some pioneer items from the SPJST Museum and explained their uses to the group.

Afterwards, she did lead them in some square dancing.

Throughout the camp, awards were presented to those who did an excep-

GROUP NUMBER THREE FLAG CEREMONY with Leader Danny Bousb . .

Dear SPJST Youth Members, We had a busy summer. We had Dis­ trict V YAD in June where one of our members, Misty Setliff, won first place in (12-14) Hobby Kits.

Then, we went camping in July and I was pleased that l O out of 11 members of our youth club went camping. I think each and everyone had a great time in spite of the heat and rain.

On the way back, we went to the SPJST Museum in Temple, which I really enjoyed. I think the kids . did, too. ·

We also went on a tour of the Port of Houston; afterwards, we all went out to eat at Ryan's in Pasadena. ln July, we, also had a garage sale at our mother Lodge 172. We had seven members to help. A special thanks to our mother lodge and to Jerry and Vickie Dressler and to Joe Krenek for all of their help. Thanks to everyone who brought items for the sale.

In August, we went to State YAD. This was the first one for any of our youth members to attend or par­ ticipate; myself, as a new leader, I was really impressed. We had five of our members to attend and three to par­ ticipate.

At our last meeting on August 22, 1990, we decided to do something for Grandparent's Day which is September 9th. We'll be going to a nursing home and making homemade sherbert ice cream. For the members who didn't come to this meeting, meet at my house at 1 :30 p.m.

After the meeting in August, we all went bowling and we had a great time.

September 23 is our social. Our next meeting will be September 26th. Don't miss it! We have a lot coming up in the next several months.

Fraternally yours, Dottie Watkins, Youth Leader -SPJST_:_

Lodge 40- El Campo-Hillje Attends State YAD On the weekend of August 18 and 19, the El Campo-Hillje Youth Club attended State Royalty and Y AD. The five members who attended and par­ ticipated were Darren and Jared Dybala, Danny and Sharon Borak and Kim Kácal.

Darren, Jared, Sharon, and I com­ peted Saturday night in State Royalty.

Although we didn't bring home state honors, I think we did an excellent job; all of the competitors did, also. We had a great deal of fun, and it was a night we will always remember.

Sunday, we were up bright and early for YAD. The five of us entered eight crafts and our scrapbook. Darren won second place in 15-17 Foods. I received first in 15-17 in Needlecraft and second in Handicraft.

We also had three entries in the spe­ cial category, Storytelling. To my surprise, and his own, Darren took first place honors in the 15-17 category.

I felt very honored to receive a $500 district scholarship. I would like to thank all who inspired me to reach this goal.

Finally, I would like to congratulate all of the winners at state, whether they 'placed or not. The competition this year was incredible. and each per­ son who entered. contributed to that.

All should be commended for making this the most spectacular Y AD ever!

Thanks to all of the people behind the scenes who made it possible! I don't know what we would do without you!

The ice cream making was really in­ teresting and it tasted good. The basket Our SPJST Youth Club went to camp at Camp Val Verde In McGregor,· Texas from July 22-25, 1990.

The days were very busy: we rode horses, canoed, had archery and swam, not to mention the hiking we did. We also made beaded bandanas and decorated our own shirts.

One day we sat around and rolled milk in a coffee can long enough for it to be ice cream.

Then one night, at camp. we went to Crissy's Crossing and told stories by buming candles: this was really scary, especially walking back to our cabins, our leaders were just as scared.

byli zde narození ale jeho dědeček a babička přišli do Ameriky z Československa.

V roce 1934 se oženil, vzal si za manželku Agnes Křenkovu. Tento mladý párek byl požehnaný 5 dětmi, jeden syn a 4. dcery. Adolph si založil vlastní obchod, měl správku a barvení automobilů, který vedl 50 let a pak to převzal jeho syn. Adolph a jeho manželka Agnes slavili 56-leté výročí jejich sňatku v červenci tohoto roku.

Bratr Popp byl členem řádu 133 San Antonio, K.J.T. a S.V.P.S. a též členem San Antonio českého pěveckého sboru. Bylo to dojemné, že ti členové pěveckého sboru mu přišli naposled zazpívat. Přejeme pozůstalé rodine upřímnou soustrast.

President Trilíček jmenoval výbor pro nové členy Grace Rohanová, Alma Triličková a Gertrude Pavliska; ony schválily žádost pro 2 nové členy, Don Netek, ml. a Michael Netek.

Na listě nemocných jsou bratr Otto Hurta který si namohl nějaký svály v zádech, sestra Julia Šefčik byla v nemocnici se srdeční vadou, ale teď už se zotavuje doma. Jaroslav a Marcela Kleprlík byli oba v nemocnici ale teď už jsou zase v domě odpočinku.

Narozeniny v měsíci srpnu měli Julia Kurtzová, Joseph Matula, Tracer Matula, Sheryl Morrisey, Valerie Pop­ pová, Margaret Scheffelová a Jerome Sliva.

Svatební výročí slavili Antony a Alma Triliček 53 roků, Emil a Grace Rohan 49 roků v srpnu a Paul a Eileen Heath 25 roků v červenci.

Sestra Viola Kurtzová připnula krásnou květinu (corsage) na sestru Eileen Heath a bratr Heath dostal "boutonnfere" protože slavili stříbrnou svatbu.

'Split the Poť vyhráli 1. Don Netek, 2. Doris Moczygemba a 3. Ann Špaček. Dveřní cenu vyhráli 1. Louis Jašek a 2. Marie Netek.

Sestra Viola Fajkusová navrhla, aby schůze byla ukončena a bylo to pod­ porováno sestrou Doris Moczygem­ bovou. Následovala svačina, co nám zbylo od oběda a společné hry.

Naše příští schůze bude v neděli 16. září ve 2 hodiny odpoledne na obvyklém místě.

Se sesterským pozdravem, Miloslava Phelpsová česká dopisovatelka

Milé sestry a bratři: Naše srpnová schůze která se konala v neděli 19. srpna začala ve 12.30 hodin podáváním chutného oběda. Měli jsme "Bar-B-Q" (hovězí pečené na rožni) co obstarali bratr a sestra Špaček a sestry přinesly různé saláty, koláče, dorty a cukroví a měli jsme všeho dost ani jsme to nemohli všechno (spotřebovat) snist!

Bylo přítomno 33 členů a jeden host paní Hazel Davis; ona přivezla Evelyn Kalfusovou, tak jí moc děkujeme.

President řádu bratr Anthony Triliček zahájil schůzi v l hodinu 45 minut. Po slibu věrnosti vlajce, uctili jsme památku zesnulých členů jednou minutou ticha.

O prazdninách.

12. záfí 1990 "Pojď se podívat, Vašičku, na bobra, kterého Jenda přivezl."

Opravdu -- bylo to zvíře jako malý medvěd. Starší bratr, když přijížděl z města, ho přejel v údolí. Když ho zvážili, zjistili, že je 45 liber těžký.

Stáhli s něho kůži a po vydělání ji pro­ dali.

Našli jsme s Jiřinkou za stodolou želvu, kterou již někdo poznamenal, neboť měla na zádech vyryta písmena JH a PS. Jiřínka hádala: "To byl jistě Jenda s Pavlínkou -- " Nejradši jsem měl Reka, huňatého vlčáka, který všude se mnou chodil.

Jednou, když jsme šli přes pole k řece, tu se mu zježil hřbet a silně počal štěkati. Před ním jsem spatřil v trávě se svíjeti zelenou zmiji. -- Obrátili jsme a rychle spěchali nazpět k farmě! Když přišel poslední den, který jsem tam ztrávil, tu mne Rek vůbec nechtěl opustiti, stále pokňukával, jakoby cítil, že ztratí kamaráda. -- Musili ho zavříti, aby neskočil do auta, které nás odváželo k nádraží. Jsem zvědav, jestli mne ještě pozná až tam zase pojedu --?

Novomanžele se dívaji na televisi a z ničeho nic Věra vyhrožuje, "Oči si dáin vydloubat, dám si ruku do ohně na krbu, že kdybych umřela, brzy se oženíš s jinou ženou!"

"No netrap se, nerozčiluj se Věro! To je zbytečný! Já ti veřím!"

Vilém Souček

Když jsem byl vloni na prázdninách u strýčka, to mne vzal sebou do polí a já se nemohl vynadiviti co tam všechno roste!

"Tak teď už vím kde rostou zápalky, tadyhle to pole je jich plno," volám.

"Ne, Vašíčku, tohleto nejsou sirky, to je strniště -- tady rostlo obilí --" poučoval mne strýc.

Tamhle v ohradách se proháněli koně a malé hřibátko vesele běhalo sebou. Jeden kůň se docela obrátil na záda vzhůru nohama a škrábal se na zádech. Vesele se při tom řehtal.

Když jsme přicházeli k chlévům kde byly krávy, tu se hlouček kocourů rozletěl na všechny strany. Strýček ukazoval na jednoho rezavého, kulhavého kocoura, jemuž scházelo ucho a kus ocasu, a povídal: "Tohle je Tygr, rváč -- postrach všech koček a jiných zvířat -- všechny mají před ním "respekt" -- ten chodí i do polí na lovy a porve se kolikrát i s polními zvířaty. Jednou zaútočil i na ježka, ale to se spálil na ostrých jeho štětinách! -Vcházeli jsme do velkého chléva, a to jsem se podivil jak tam bylo čisto. -­ Nahlédl jsem do jedné stáje a ulekl jsem se když se ozvaloza dveřmi "bééé" -- mladý rohatý býček pohlížel "Drahoušku," šeptala mu do ucha ta udiveně na mne. Nevím, kdo se divil jeho nejsladší milenka, "myslíš, že jsou hvězdy obývané?'' více!

"Vidíš, tady to telátko dnes se právě "No jistě, panenko má, vždyť se tam narodilo," ukazoval mně strýc na malé každý večer svítí!"

Vilém Souček zvířátko, které se zdálo býti jen o něco větší nežli koza. Marně se pokoušelo udržeti na všech čtyřech nohou -­ klouzalo mu to! Kravička -- maminka, která se snažila ho podepřeti, bučela patrně radostí a všichni se těšili.

Jakoby se kráva chlubila, "heleďte se -- tohleto je moje dítě -- jak je hezké a Kulturní výměna mezi družebními jak se má k světu, třebaže je celé uslin­ tané."

Cínská zdvořilost Francouzský cestovatel Simon vypravuje, jak potkal kdysi v Číně venkovana, jenž, pohovořiv s ním, zeptal se čínským způsobem: "Osmělu­ ji se vás ptáti, který jest váš šťastný věk?" (Česky bychom ovšem řekli: kolik je vám let?) Francouz odpověděl: "Je mi třicet šest." ."Měl jsem za to, že je vám dvakrát tolik," řekl Číňan.

Tato jeho poznámka byla pouze

zdvořilostí, kterou by dozajista řekl každému, právě tak, jako by se každého optal na "sťastný věk."

Nicméně nám mnoho povídá. Číňan má velikou úctu k stáří. Jak kdo zestárne, tak mu též přibylo úcty u ostatních. U nás se obyčejně lidé starší stydí přiznat svůj věk a chtějí se zdát mladšími. Není-li to nepřirozený a nez­ dravý zjev? Krásné je mládí, ovšem, ale stáří, naplněné záslužnými činy, má větší cenu.

Podle Goulda M.S. v

Ceskoslovenské pošty Za rok doručí čs. pošty 1,4 miliardy listovních zásilek a sedmadvacet miliónů balíků. Napomáhá jim k tomu mimo jiné také mechanizace a automatizace poštovního provozu.

Spojaři využívají při zpracování listovních zásilek dvě automatické linky v Praze a Bratislavě. Ty zvládnou všechny operace rychlostí až 30 tisíc zásilek za hodinu. Dále je na poštách čtyřiatřicet poloautomatických třídicích strojů pro listovní zásilky, vyráběných v kooperaci se spojaři v NDR.
