FROM THE EDIT0R’$ DESK
In this issue of our SOPJST Věst-
ník, there are many things to be
covered and some will be discussed,
however rather briefly. Space is
limited and, again, as continually,
effort is made to limit it to es-
sential dealings within our So-
ciety. Letters háve been received
here at the editor’s Office from
the University of Houston, Hill
Jr. College, Wharton JC, Temple
JC, etc., thanking our Society
for our help in the past with the
Czech courses and they are ap-
preciated; however, to print them
would také up space that is neces-
sary for our Society’s business and
progress and all writers are here-
with thanked for their thoughts.
May you continue in your efforts
with success!
Published are pictures with a
letter from Sister Cindy Mrosko of
the Czech classes at Lodge No. 88,
Houston and they seemed to háve
fared rather well. It is encouraging
to see so many of our young people
making the effort to advance their
talents in many fields, including
languages!

On our trlp to the District VI
YAD at Boling, Sunday, July 20th,
we were amazed at how much of
the maize had been already har-
vested and the fields shredded at
that time. And we háve just heard
and seen on TV recently (this
week) how a lack of rain will hurt
the com crop in our Northern
LIBERTY
When Liberty is gone,
Life grows insipid and has lost
its relish.
—Addison
Is liře so dear or peace so sweet
as to be purchased at the price of
chains and slavery? Forbid it, Al-
mighty God! I know not what
course others may také; but as for
me, give me liberty, or give me
death.
—Patrick Henry
What light is to the eyes—what
air is to the lungs—what love is to
the heart, liberty is to the soul of
man.
—R. G. Ingersoll
U.S., especially in Iowa. This
should bring to all of us a realizia-
tion of how our seasons and dates
of planting crops vary from South
Texas to the Canadian border. In
the Corpus Christi area many of
the crops are already harvested,
and here in Central Texas (espe-
cially the West area) the farm-to-
market roads are occupied largely
by trucks and trailers hauling
grain to market, while in the North
they are waiting for their crops
to mature and ripen. Such is ná-
tuře and the influence of the
earth tilting on its axis.

This Week, again, we will háve
to adjust the length of our editor-
ial comments due to the fact that
materiál from the Supreme Lodge,
as has been deeided, should begin
on page 3. Again, this week, we will
háve to limit the Czech Section
due to the amount of correspon-
dence and pictures. We regret that
for the second week, we cannot
print Brother Jan J. Karas’ edu-
cational article in full and also not
even the picture sent to us by Dr,
J. J. Skřivanek (TAMU) of the
students who went to Charles Uni-
versity in Prague, Ozechoslovakia,
due to the large influx of corres-
pondence which we certainly are
■always glad to publish. There will
be some explanations and sug-
gestions forthcoming from the
editoťs Office prior to and at our
next convention pertaining to the
SPJST Věstník and its publica-
tion and problems involved. These
include things that the average
member or person does not and
cannot envision. Putting together
and publishing a weekly páper of a
certain size and trying to decide
what is of the most value to our
Society and what is unnecessary is
rather hard to řraternally do.
Some things an editor knows are
not really too interesting to too
many readers and could, if the
need arose, be left out or delayed,
however, from a true fratemal
standpoint, the feeling is that all
contributions are worth something
to someone and needed space is
found for this materiál, sooner or
