Thirteenth State Scholarship Winner, State YAD, Temple High School 22 August 1982 Supreme Lodge President Nick A.

YOUTH MEMBER VALUES SPJST SCHOLARSHIP By Delores Dobecka With another youth year gone and a new one that started in June, I want to, again, thank our SPJST Society for the $600 scholarship granted to me. I had already written a thank-you letter in the September 16, 1981 issue. It took many hours of hard work, entertaining, and having fun in our SPJST Lodge No. 6 Youth Club to achieve this accomplishment. To those who have won these scholarships and those who shall in the future, it is a great help toward furthering your education, especially with the high costs. I have just enrolled in the School of Cosmetology at Hill Junior College in Hillsboro, Texas. I wanted to enter this field for quite a while and this scholarship will enable me to achieve this goal. To the Youth of the SPJST: "Put

your heart in your youth clubs and work for this honor because it is rewarding."

1982 RECIPIENT TAKES ADVANTAGE OF SPJST SCHOLARSHIP By Sandra Schoeneman of Lodge 9 I would like to take this opportunity to thank the SPJST for the scholarship I received this year at State YAD. It has helped me further my education. I am currently enrolled in Blinn Junior College in Bryan, Texas. I am studying to be an accountant. After two years of going to Blinn, I will transfer to Texas A&M University. "I challenge each and every young SPJ ST member to take advantage of the great opportunity the SPJST offers. It takes hard work and determination to accomplish this goal, so here's wishing the best of luck_ to future nominees."

A Tribute To Bro. Edward Mazanec In a letter dated August 18, 1982, SL Secretary-Treasurer Mikeska informed the PC members, editor and SL members that, in a letter dated August 10, 1982, PC Chairman Edward Mazanec resigned effective that date due to the serious illness of his wife, Sister Agnes Mazanec, and that Brother Albert Banik, his District III substitute, would replace him on the PC with Vice

Edward Mazanec Chmn. Angeline Kristinek automatically becoming Chairman. In their PC meeting held Saturday, September 25th, the Publication Committee members took note of the fact and elected Bro. Emil Matula as vice-chairman with comments from all about their appreciation of the pleasure of working with PC Chairman Mazanec in the past and his sincere, honest and forthright decisions while on the PC and his integrity concerning the Vestnik, always setting personality aside. Bro. Mazanec served on the PC since January 1, 1969 and as chairman since January 1, 1973. Your editor certainly appreciates the fairness and foresight of Bro. Mazanec's work and his and the PC's assistance in making the SPJST Vestnik what it is to date. We will miss his good counsel and wish him and Sister Agnes Mazanec the very best.

THE

'Editor' COMMENTS ARE YOU ALWAYS WRONG? If you are usually in the office, you should get out to see members more often. If you are usually out, you are goofing off. If you are at home nights, you are neglecting outside contacts. If you are not home nights, you are wasting your time on frivolous things. If you have a strong opinion, you are bullheaded. If you have no opinion, you are emptyheaded. If you see only one side of a question, you are narrow-minded If you see many sides of a question, you are too tolerant. If you talk on a subject, you are trying to run things. If you are silent on a subject, you are ignorant about it. If you agree with executives, you lack originality and conviction. If you disagree with executives, you are impertinent. If you come up with an immediate answer, you do not think things through. If you do not come up with an immediate answer, you are not upto-date. , If you appear cordial, you are playing politics. If you appear aloof, you should be trimmed down to size. (Author Unknown) There are still many people who do not know enough about fraternal societies before buying life insurance, therefore, the editor wishes to emphasize on the subject. A fraternal society is an association of persons drawn together by common interests. The society may be organized chiefly to provide companionship and pleasure for its members, or it may be set up to furnish its members with certain benefits such as life, accident and health insurance. Also, fraternal societies sometimes take part in programs of civic betterment or in the support of charities and social work. Fraternal societies are often secret lodges with passwords, ceremonies and initiation rites. Each society adopts its own constitution and by-laws and sets up its own rules of procedure.Membership in the societies is restricted and usually depends on invitations extended by members of the lodge. Some fraternal societies admit only men as members, while a few limit their membership to women. Many fraternal societies for men have auxiliary chapters, or organizations to which mothers, wives, daughters and sisters of members can belong. A few fraternal societies are limited to a single state, but almost all have national or state membership. Membership in some of the older and larger fraternal organizations numbers into the millions; the SPJST has over 57,000 certificates. ***

When you joined the SPJST, you identified yourself as a person with foresight, who wanted to secure protection and security for yourself and your family. You were probably serious about your membership, but did you or do you know what fraternalism is? The State Insurance Code would define it as follows: A fraternal benefit society is any society or order organized or carried on solely for the mutual benefit of its members and their beneficiaries, not for profit, having a lodge system and a representative form of government. Another definition would be: A fraternal society is an association of persons drawn together by a common interest for the purpose of obtaining for themselves certain objectives or benefits mutually desired. From this standpoint, you see that we, in the fraternal field, cannot and should not be measured only in dollars and cents. Fraternal life insurance is more than insurance. The payment of death benefits is the last service we perform. We, in the SPJST, endeavor to fill the large gap and render services outside the province of insurance commercialism. Fraternalism gives everyone an opportunity to put their humanitarian instincts to work in a real and substantial manner. Embedded in each of us is that inner feeling and affection for our fellow human and for those who are near and dear to us through family and cultural ties. Fraternalism also has made this feeling active, where otherwise it would have been passive. There are benefits and programs that cannot be compared to dollars and profits. The fraternal interest that lodge members have in each other is responsible for the many "plus" benefits open to you, as members, among one of the most reliable fraternal benefit societies in Texas — the SPJST! *** When a family man dies, do people ask, "Did he provide his family a TV with a cable set," or "Will they be able to keep their new car?" No. They ask, "Will the family have to move from their home? "Will the children be able to go to college?" "Will his widow need to find a job?" "How much life insurance did he leave?" It is a curious thing how much faith people have in life insurance and how quickly they express their belief in it when someone dies; yet how many excuses do they raise against investing in it themselves? When a man is alive and in good health and so are his neighbors, or friends and relatives, then new cars, TV with cable sets, and countless luxuries for current pleasures have first claim on his income But when he dies, the first questions are: "What about his life insurance? Is there enough for the family?" It pays to belong to the SPJST Society, as grateful words from bereaved families tell us so often. The SPJST has state field managers, sales representatives and district directors who stand ready to call these facts to the attention of all family heads who may be forgetting (or postponing) this most important investment in the security of their loved ones. THINK THIS OVER ' '3 SERIOUSLY!' -

There are no corrections or 8,201.48 additions to the report, then it is 0 63 . 43 accepted as presented. By-Laws Committee Member 0 Report by Brother John Murphy: He 0 stated that if there is a matter from 0 621.74 one convention to another, that 340.05 needs the approval of the delegates, then a secret poll is taken by the 0 219.20 Supreme Lodge (By-Laws Article 7a) ITEM 1: "The Supreme Lodge 0 recommends that the mileage .00 reimbursement be lowered to all 1, 988 23651 those who are driving on official 295.80 335.48 Society's business to .35C per mile 913.08 until the next convention." (The has Committee Finance 0 recommended this change.) ITEM 2: 688.30 Article 33 (b-1), Article 51 (Section 0 A), and Article 91 concern changes 0 as recommended by the Insurance 0 Committee, to allow the Supreme 104.75 Lodge to offer a new insurance 71.70 program if in the best interest of the 129.97 members of the Society. The new 22.12 program will be to offer annuity 770.28 insurance. (See the VESTNIK of 283.29 May 5th for further information and 659.22 explanation.) Insurance Committee Report by 0 2,142.93 Brother. Ben Jarma: The Insurance 316.44 Committee had a special called 45.75 meeting, Saturday, 10 April 1982, with 6 or 7 members present. 0 Results of the meeting were very 0 informative concerning the annuity 0 98.93 program. SL Vice President Bernie Gebala and SL Attorney Sidney 0 Kacir conducted the meeting. As a 0 closing comment, Brother Jarma 0 asked if the membership had any 0 questions or information to please 0 address them to the committee's 0 secretary or himself and they will be 49.89 glad to see they are given full 328.72 consideration. 0 Publication's Committee Report: 1,324.38 Brother Ed Mazanec, PC chairman, 166.44 was not present. Youth Counselor Report by Sister 0 148.50 Bessie Petr: She thanked Lodge No. 6 for hosting this meeting. "Lodge 6 0 209.48 is very important to District III because, they have, on many 0 432.66 occasions, produced the highest point totals for youth competition. 0 Two youth leaders, Sister Schuetz 0 1,374.75 and Sister Uptmor should be recognized for their efforts because 0 they have an excellent youth club. 0 Sunday, 4 April 1982 the spring 0 training session for District III 3 73 . 39 youth leaders was held in Dallas at 0 Lodge No. 84. There was a good attendance for the meeting with 21 persons being present. The meeting began promptly at 10:30 a.m. and 0 with short lunch break, which lasted 327.80 until 2 p.m. The representative from 0 the Supreme Lodge, Jann Wilson, 56.17 was not present, but with my 647.38 assistants Rosemary and Eddie 19.77 Banik, much preparation for the 538.67 coming months was accomplished. 876.22 The dates' for coming events for 365.46 District III should be noted: YAD will be Sunday, 27 June at Lodge 84, 0 1,418.29 Dallas; also, the dates for the 2 , 503 . 23 persons going to Camp Val Verde 0 will be to arrive p.m. Sunday, 5 09 .78 August 8th, continue 9th, 10th, and 606.17 leave after the noon meal Wednesday, 11th of August. District III 0 314.61 youth gave a Christmas donation of $150 to the S.P.J.S.T. No. I Rest 0 Home in Taylor, which was used to 0 help purchase a sewing machine; a 0 nice thank-you note was received 47.19 from them. The treasury of the 98.80 youth club has received a check from 157.00 the Supreme Lodge for the amount 0 of $5,518.81 which is District III 26.11 camp's allotment; also, we received a

6/VtSTNfK - Wednesday, October 13, 1982 cashier's check from Brother Ed 00392 Kamus for $1,175.05. This is from 00065 the closed youth account he was 00076 responsible for. After the noon lunch 00020 break today, the youth of Lodge No. 00100 6 will have a program. At its 00098 completion the youth will have their 00166 meeting." 00228 Curator of SPJST Museum 00242 Brother Otto Hanus reported that 00254 something new is added to the 00267 museum every day. "Just last week 00326 we had visitors from the Lincoln 00330 National Life Insurance who 00443 remarked how large and well00375 created it is, they had nothing, in their company, to compare to it! 00386 Please, if you are in the area, take 00338 time to visit and enjoy the collection 00004 00090 of our history." 00145 Director's Report by Brother Sid Pokladnik: "It certainly is nice to 00279 return to Lodge 6, they always have 00140 good attendance along with partici- '"00141 00419 pation in the meeting." Comments made on procedure of 00172 changes between conventions dates: 001 77 First, the payment of mileage. At 00247 the last convention a formula was 00329 approved to pay mileage for the 00403 next four years. If this formula was 00420 followed according to cost of living 00147 adjustments then mileage paid 00413 would be approximately 34-38-450 00237 during coming years. The Finance 00318 Committee met and concluded the 00379 fee should be set at 35C per mile for 00380 the coming years with no increase. 00052 The Supreme Lodge recommends 00190 that you vote in favor of this 00191 proposal. 00221 Next, actually there are two items 002 39 concerning insurance: First, a 00294 decrease in term insurance, which does not need ratification because 00449 the Supreme Lodge, according to 00003 the By-Laws, has the right to put in 00042 new programs. Secondly, is the 00101 program of annuity. Many 001 64 companies today, not only fraternal 00390 organizations, but also stock 00012 companies are beginning this type of 00085 program (actually a savings' 0 0096 program). This program would be 00144 handled entirely by the Supreme 00323 Lodge. Only preliminary research 00027 has been started, waiting on the 00084 outcome of the ballot from the 00103 delegates. Many of the other 00460 societies already have annuities in 00117 effect. It is the recommendation of 00411 the Insurance Committee and the 00300 Supreme Lodge that this be 00315 approved. Please sign your ballot and return before July 1, 1982. The progress of the SPJST Society has given increased benefits 00119 to its lodges and members. Over one 00187 million dollars was returned in 00196 premium refunds and other benefits. 00307 Another new program that is being 00358 developed concerns a scholarship 00384 program for graduating high school 00029 seniors. Specific information in 00095 relation to this program can be 00269 obtained from sales representatives 00349 or from printed pamphlets. The youth program has specific 00446 income investments that provide for 00328 camp allotments and other 00356 expenses. Because of these 00291 investments, the costs for a total of 00381 598 campers was paid in full. It is 00123 also because of these investments 00259 the solvency of SPJST is as high as 00170 it is. Other organizations rate in the 0 00 36 area of 107 with good rates of 110, 00124 our Society rates at 130. This again 00432 tells the members the type of 00274 quality job the officers of the 00325 Supreme Lodge are accomplishing. 00327 Another area that has changed conctrnsithP ,Its i

September 18th, Therese also represented our lodge at the State Royalty and she came in third place. Congratulations, Therese! The youth club had a Tupperware Party, September 24th and they did very well. Sister Schuetz thanked everyone who supported our youth. The club will be going to Six Flags, October 10th. (This letter will be printed after we go so I hope everyone had a good time.) The day that the youth club will be going to the rest home is undecided because of the conflict of other activities. Sister Schuetz will schedule an earlier time. October 29th, the youth will have a Halloween Party with a "spookhouse." We hope to see all of you come out for the party. In a few weeks the youth will be selling stick candy in Christmas boots. Therese Dobecka brought the cake. Brother George Straten gave the Board of Trustees' Report.

Interesting Words From Lodge No. 51, Ellinger Dear Members and Friends: Oh, you should have been there! You don't know what you missed. And, the old saying: that "what I don't know â&#x20AC;&#x201D; doesn't hurt me", is not always true. What we are talking about is the September quarterly meeting of Lodge No. 51, that memorable Sunday afternoon, Sept. 19th. Our business meeting was called to order by President Kocian, with fourteen members and three visitors present. The meeting did not last very long at all because everyone was eager to get started on the card and domino games. The members did, however, decide to continue the games following our meetings, and the next games will be held the first Sunday in December; that is Sunday, December 5, 1982. Don't forget the meeting will start promptly at 1 p.m.

From the State Youth Director 4 October 1982 Dear Members, Many happy fun times, smiles and memories have taken place this past youth year. A new youth year is underway and with it are many activities that will soon take place. October 31 brings us ghosts and goblins and small creatures scurrying within the local lodges and knocking on our doors. November and December festivities include Thanksgiving and Christmas. These are very special times for you and your loved ones — a time for sharing, .laughter and

12/VESTNiK - Wednesday, October 13, 1982 love. Following close behind are plans for New Years, Valentine parties, summer vacations, YADs and summer camp. Youth Club Members, now is a good time to start talking to your friends about joining the SPJST Youth Club. If they become a youth club member on or before October 31 and attend a majority of the youth club meetings and socials they will be able to participate in YAD and attend camp next year. Youth leaders, this would be a good contest within your youth clubs to increase membership and stir up some enthusiasm. The youth would earn points for participating in a contest, as well as earning points for each youth they recruit. The following is the first quarterly report for the 1982-83 youth year. The average attendance of youth attending youth club meetings throughout the state is 443. A total of $649.50 was issued in 29 checks. Check the report and see if your youth club is there: Fraternally, Jann Wilson State Youth Director ** *

All youth clubs in the district are invited, also any lodge without a youth club is invited so come out and see how the youth members enjoy themselves and you may want to join their club or start one in your lodge. The youth may also invite a friend, if they will invite them to join the SPJST and to join their club. Those youngsters who made friends at camp are looking forward to seeing their friends from all of the other lodges; we hope you are planning to come. We will have door prizes, as usual, so you also may be a winner. This will be the last district-wide activity for 1982 because all of the children are busy with school activities and soon will start getting ready for the Christmas programs and other fall activities. State Royalty is now history but I would like to once again congratulate all of the participants because they all did a fine job. The lucky and happy winners were State King Darrin Banik and his Duke Tommy Pavelka and State Queen Mandy Mikulencak with her Duchess Kari Kovar; Mandy and Kari are from District II so we are very proud of them, and wish them much happiness in the year ahead. The week prior to the competition, Mandy told me that she will study and rehearse real hard because she wants to win for me and the district, which made me very happy and then the day came when she became winner which also made her very proud and happy: Thank you, Mandy, for your great efforts. King Contestant Troy Marx also did a good job for District II who came out second runner-up. Troy, thanks to you for your efforts and do not get discouraged but try again and that goes for all of the youth members who entered Royalty in District or State; this same applies to YAD, try and try again! Don't forget the skating this Sunday. I hope to see you there. Fraternally, Frank Klinkovsky, DYC - SPJST -

Oddil Dopisovatelii Tak V g elicos -Aneika Houdkova. Minuly tyden mel pohteb v Arlington, Tx., 58. lety Indian jmenem Don Little Bear (eesky by to bylo Don Maly Medved) ktery zemtel na srdeeni zachvat. On byl nakelnikem ut z pate generate Indiana Oglala kmene pattice k Sioux narodu indianskych, ale ktery nikdy nebyl einnym ndeelnikem, jelikot odetel z domova v mladych letech. Ten Maly Medved mel jen to jedno dite —dceru a tak jeho rodinna linie konei s jeho dcerou. Ono jeho ptedkove statni nakelnici jako byl Sitting Bull (Sedicf Byk) a Crazy Horse (Blaznivi Kan) meli caste potyeky s americkymi ptedaky, poneva,d2 vlada americka nikdy nedodrtela valeene smlouvy a to se Indianum nellbilo. Maly Medved faltoval podpis jeho otce v patnacti letech a sloutil v americke armada 20 let. Take byl zajat Nemci v Africe ale utekl ze zajetf. Po ptijeti dome byl otettovatelem pti operacfch celych 8 let, pak byl policistou v Kansasu a pted sedmi lety se ptistehoval do Arlingtonu. Tet byl svetovym ceremonialnfm taneenikem indianskych tanca a taneil pry i pro kralovnu anglickou a jine sv'etove hodnostati a mel dobrou povest mezi lidem. Pohtben byl v Moore Memorial Gardens v Arlingtonu daleko od sveho roditte v jitni Dakota. V tech Cernych Horach v Jam-. Dakote zase Indiani se ptipravuji na bitvu (novy boj) o tech 800 alcrt ktere Indian povatuji jako svaj majetek nebot' pry tam jejich ptedkove bydleli davno net ptitli prvni bile lidi do Dakoty. Tento pozernek byl dan nati vladou Indianam se smlouvou v 1868 a oni tvrdf, to kdyt se tam naSlo zlato pozdeji, tak vlada zas jim to vzala. Rflcaji, to je to jejich Svata Zeme kde let( pohtbeni jejich otcove ate oni si to nedajf vzfti. V 1980 Nej yytti soud nati uznal,ze Indian byli ochuzeni a prirkli jim nahradu v eerie 122 miliona dolaru —jente to nikdy neobdrieli do dnes. PFedaci Indiana ale chteji radeji narok na ten pozemek. V teto easti jsou bohate lotiska zlata, stiibra, urania, tacomie, molybdenumu, a uhli a kdyt by bylo zie tak by Indian( meli z Cello tit. Jak to dopadne tetko tici, ac boj ut trva 18 mesica, a bude to tetky boj! Zase nam bylo teeeno, to v oblasti Dallas-Ft. Worth firma Bell Helicopter pry propusti 550 zamestnanca behem ptittich dvou mesica, jelikot obchod je nyni dosti 'Spatny a tak neni jine vychodisko. Od ledna 1981 bylo proputteno hodne a nyni firma ma pry asi o 2750 mane zamestnancil net tehdy. Pry deprese, vysoke aroky a slabost v olejovem pramyslu je pHeina takze jit v Cervnu museli propustit 700 zamestnanca a nyni do prosince zase tech 550. Nekde je to nebezpeene pro majitele firem kdy propusti zamestnance, tak jak se jit nekolikrate stab, to propuSteny zasttelil sveho "bossa" za to, ac ten za Spatne easy nemate. Nekteti ztratili auta, domovy a jsou z toho cell zoufali — a nevi diyu, 2e'ano?'-'

13. tijna 1982

V jitnim Texasu eernoch 26 lety a jeho Lena byli oba propuft'enf z prace u Lone Star Steel firmy minuly mesic a od to doby pry byly easto tam hadky. Ona mela tri hochy 8, 6 a 5 let z dtiveikho mantelstvi a spolu meli 3 leteho hocha. Kdyt se hadali tak ona t- la pro policistu a on zatim pak zasttelil ty dva stark a posttelil vane toho mladkho jejiho a take toho jeho, kteFl jsou v nemocnici v kritickem stave a sam se zabil tat. Co si s pomohl, kdy to udelal, a ona ted' bude mit vice starosti se VSim? Je to smutne a motna toho bude vice. Veera bylo mesto Tioga (asi 60 mil na sever od Dallas) naprodej a ac majitel celeho mesta eekal ze utrti vice za nej, ptece v drape ptineslo 200 tisic dolard. Toto male mesto s 511 obyvatela je rodne mesto toho herce Gene Autry, ktery hral v mnoha cowboyskych filmech, ktery pry chtel opravit mesto a znovu privest vodu do chodu, kdyt mesto pfejmenuji na "Autry Springs" ale die povesti, jisty byl proti tomu ze zlosti, to nedostal plat za jeho slutby kdyt Autry se narodil. Motna, to mesto se zase povznese jestli upravi tu vodu pro pacienty kteH maji kloubovy revmatismus. Dnes v nedeli mantele Reighardovi z Garland, Tx., budou na letisti eekat ptijezd jejich synka 10. leteho ktereho nevideli 9 let. On byl vojakem ye Vietnamu a tam si namluvil device a meli maleho hocha a v 1973 ptitel jim rozkaz, to amerieti vojaci mu g za, dye hodiny odjeti ihned prye a hoch byl prave u babieky a dedecka 100 vzdalenych a oni nemohli pro neho jet. Museli hocha tam nechat celych 9 let ttebate mnoho let zkouteli u tamnich atada, aby hocha pustili do Ameriky. At teprve ted' pustili 11 takovych deti americkych °tea sem, a tak po dlouhe dobe zas budou pohromade. Mantele maji 8. leteho syna ktery pry bude bratra ueit anglicky a vtichni budou spokojeni to jsou pospolu. Myslim, to byl mnohy °bean ptekvapen, kdy zpravy sdelily, firma ktera v letech minylych byla znama co "pet:a-Royal a desakove, totit Woolworth, bude nucena zavtit vsechny jejich obchody po celem svete nasledkem §patneho obchodu. Firma ma celkem 336 takovych obchodu, a nevim kdo koupi obchody. Bude to hezka eastka penez za to a nekdo jiny bude mfti zas starost. Je to Skoda, to zaniknou tyto obchody ktere tolik liclipodporovalo pted lety. Bylo mereceno mojf piltelkyni pi. Mary Nemcovou, to v nedeli dallaska koncertni orchestra udelala dobry skutek, kdyt jeli do domova organizace Eastern Star v Arlingtonu a tam hudbou zptijemnili odpoledne vtech ten tam kteH obyvaji domov. Pry domov je tam velmi krasny a vte bylo pane a moc dobe se men. Po hudebnim programu pak bylo podavano vyborne obeerstveni a tak bylo veselo na obou stranach. Tato orchestra jest pod vedenim p. Sid Pokladnika a dobte hrajf vtichni. Je to dobry skutek a jiste v Arlingtonu budou dlOuho tponifnat na pane pobaveni.

Dallasky °bean, syn rnagnatamilionate se St' astne navratil po mesieni testa kolem sveta v helikoptoru. Cestu tuto udelal bez nehody se svym spoleenikem a byl slavnostne uvitan mayorem Evansem a jinymi atedniky a byl pocten tim, byl prvni American ktery takovou cestu udelal s tim jeho "Spirit of Texas" — podobne jako Lindberg byl pocten v 1927 kdyt jel s letadlem ptes more s jeho "Spirit of St. Louis". Stale se dejou nova a nova veci, ano? Ten elovek ktery unes1 mladrica 21. leteho a dal ho pohtbit do zeme se naleza, v nemocnici jelikot ma vysoky tlak krve ale pak bude drten ve vezeni a souzen ponevacit ma jette dye druhe taloby na sobe, to unes1 dva druhe mute ktere se ale zachranili to utekli z auta. Piijde mu toto velmi draho. JeSte musim sclelit, to ten hoch z toho Vietnamu ktery mel ptijet v nedeli, dojel at v pondeli veeer jelikot byl jaksi nemocen a talc to odlotili. Bylo to dojemne shledani jak ukazovali na televizi a bylo mnoho fotografil a zvedavca se podivat na to setkanf. Neni divu, to tyto deti jsou nemocne a nervosni z tak daleke cesty a do ciziho prosttedi kdyt maji pitit. Take deti zatili tolik rozruteni a pak nevecif jak budou ptijati jejich neznamym otcem a vettina neumf miuvit nic jen tu svoji cizi tee a budou muset se ueit anglicky. Pry vlada ye Vietnamu koneene dovoli temto &tem (kterych je hodne) aby odjeli do Ameriky za svym otcem. DOUfam, to hochovi se provede dobte a bude miti lept4 tivot zde u /las. Take minuly tyden byly noviny a televize pine o tom otraveni tou medecinow Tylenol, ktere je utivand proti bolesti hlavy a klouboveho revma.

I v Dvotakovych "Slovanskych tancich" jest poznat zcela zfejme ohlas Hilmarovych polek, ktere Dvotak hraval ye svem mladi ye ZIonicich a byl taktka nad'Sen jejich eeskostf. Po dobe probuzenecke v eeskych zemich vystupovalo mnoho novych hudebnich jmen a to byla velka &oda, kterou lze srovnati s rozvojem eeske literatury. Jak jsem ut drive psal, v ranne dobe to byli ponejvice mesttti i venkovki kantoti, kteH tomu houfne napomahali, jsouce znameniti muzikanti a toto ueitelstvo bylo take nejvettim kadrem, ktere siFilo eeskou pisen a tance po eeskych zemich. V pocatcfch to byla mravenei prace, jetto nebylo vydavatela a nototisk ponejvice nemecky byl velice drahy a na to nebylo. Jetto i notovy papir byl drahy, tak si jej linlivali sami inkoustem, vyrabenym domacim procesem z dubenek, k eemut pout- Ivan per tezanych z husich brk.

Ze i stylove spolu s periodou politickou polka prochazela ye svem rytmu, jest poznati z let sedrndesatych a pozdejkch, kdy povstaly polky rytmicky odchylne od pavodnich. Byla to polka francaise nebo tremblante, jim se fikalo "polka ttasak," jejimt pa yodcem jest nesporne ptitel Hilmar& ueitel Vaclav Straka z Kopidlna, o kterem jsem se jit dtive zminil. Ten v r. 1860 napsal piseh a polku "My jsme hoti ze Zlikovska" a site na zaklade toho, to prvni jachymovske tolary razili hrabata glikove, jim citive pattilo panstvf Kopidlno a tvrao se, to ze Slikovska (t. 1. z okoli Kopidlna) maji hodne sttibra a odtud ta pisen a polka. Pisriovy avod k polce napsal z toho davodu, to tenkrat pti muzice se hoti postavili pied vyvytenou kruchtu hudebn&a, majice v ruce pivem napinene plechove mazy, a zpivali torn volnou piseri, kterou pak po ptezpivani hrali muzikanti do polky. A prave v teto polce jest prvni zmenena rytmika "a la frahcaise," takte misto obvykleho "es-ta, es-ta, estatata" se hraje es-ta, ta-es ta ta, coti znaei, ze etvrta osmina v taktu ma pomlku. Smetana v polce v Prodane neveste poutil tento polkovy rytmus tak originelne a tak brilantne, te vabec do dnetni doby nebyl ptekonan. V letech osmdesatych nebylo opery, aby nernela polkovych motivu, neb dokonce celou polku. Vidime to v g eborove Zmatene svatbe, v Bendlove Starern tenichu, v Angrove opete Zaletnici, neb v Kovatovicovych Psohlavcich. Vabec Kovatovicova polka "Hornicka.," Angrove "eslc.a polka" a Nedbalova "Selka polka" z baletu "Hloupy Honza" jsou vskutku excelentni ukazky klasicke tvorby polkove. Z lidovych skladatela to byl v prve tade taneeni mistr Richard Kaska, vyborny hudebni skadatel a tvarce Morayske besedy, ktery kolem roku 1890 mel taneeni tkolu v Mett'anske Besede. Ten skladal vyborne polky a valency, ktere byly velice oblfbeny na venkove a 'Ceti jsem o nem jette v Praze, to se dal do skladani taneenich kusa, aby eelil nemeckym Strausovym valeikam, ktere se houfne valily do zemi eeskych. Jeho vskutku plodnou a bohatou taneeni literaturu mu vydal Fr. Urbanek, ktery byl vlastne prvym hudebnim nakladatelem eeskym. Ke Kaskovi pak se drutil znamy vojensky kapelnik 28. petiho pluku (praiskych d'etf), Eduard Horny. Jeho lidove policy byly v tehdejti dobe nejlepti a nejvfce hrany, nebot' se rortitily po vlasti jako houby po detti. I jini cetti vojen§ti kapelnici se ptieinili o rozgiteni eeskych taneenich kusa a byl to v prve Fade kapelnik Karel Komzak od 75. pluku, Josef Rieman od 11. pluku, otec operni pevkyne Amalie Bobkove, kapelnik 102. pluku Josef Bobek a Rudolf Novaeek od 28. pluku, po kterem nastoupil Ed. Horny. Tito kapelnici vyborneho hudebniho vzdelani skoro katdou nedeli ptekvapili pratske vdeene posluchaee popularnich koncerta nejakou polkou ei jak se lidove Fikalo "solokaprem" a takovy novy kousek se zahy

Items of Interest Load luggage in garage. Packing your bags into the trunk of a car that is in the front driveway is a sure giveaway that you are leaving. When driving, the watchword is locked doors. In cities, it is well to keep all windows closed or cracked only enough for ventilation. Purse snatchers and possible muggers are kept out that way. Stay with children when stopping at rest areas. Don't allow them to go anywhere unattende-d. Avoid late-night stops at desolate rest areas or service stations, if at all possible. Watch the attendants at service stations. It is a good idea to get out of the car and observe what's going on. Attendants have been known to damage cars in order to con you into a repair job, or to sell you a service you don't need, such as the unnecessary replacement of tires, battery or parts. Keep your car in gear while stopped at an intersection, or if stopped by someone claiming to be a policeman. A quick getaway is possible in case of a surprise assault. Don't accept help from strangers unquestioningly if you have an emergency on the highway. Pull off to the side of the road, turn on emergency flashers, keep doors locked and windows raised. Stay with the car, and tie a piece of cloth to your antenna as a signal you need help. But be wary if someone approaches on foot and offers assistance. Don't stop to help someone in distress, either. This is sometimes a ruse used by armed thugs. Instead, jot down the license number and notify the police as soon as possible. Keep your car in sight while you are dining at a roadside restaurant. Take suitcases with you at night. It is best not to leave any luggage or valuables in the car overnight. Bump and thump. If another car bumps yours or tries to force you off the road, don't stop to investigate. Blow your horn, using short blasts, and drive to a police station or service station. If you are near home, you should not turn into your own driveway; it's better to head for a gas station or garage where people are around and help can be found. ***
