Jos. F. Holaseks Return
Fiom 6-Week European Tour
On September 3rd, Mr. and paintings and the great Champs
Mrs. Joseph Holasek of West
flew from New York to Paris and
then to Prague, Czechoslovakia
to visit relatives in Prague, Sou-
thern Bohemia and Moravia.
Prague is a very old and beau-
tiful city where the President
of the country lives in the old
Hradcany Palace It was built in
the year 1490, and on the Palace
grounds stands the old St. Vitus
Church, where the foundation
was built in the year 900 and ev-
ery century an addition was add-
ed on to the original church. It
is surrounded by flower gardens
and fountains and is of Gothic
architecture.
There are over 400 castles in
Czechoslovakia, all very lovely,
but the one that impressed nie
the most was the Hlubkov Castle
with its very lavish furnishings
all in 18 carrat gold, beautiful
paintings on walls and ceilings,
parquet floors and Louis the
14th furniture all inlaid in ma-
hagony and pearl. It was like
looking at a picture book in col-
lor from the land of fantasy and
expecting any minute to see a
queen or king come from within
tlie doors.
We saw the old and ornate Li-
brary at the Charles University
in Pargue, with millions of books
and volumes that were written
hundreds of years ago and were
written in longhand. This uni-
versity is one of the oldest in
Europe and was built in the 14th
century.
Europe has many, many lovely
old churches and cathedrals, but
for the exception of the fa-
mous St. Peters Church in Rome
and the Notre Dame Cathedral
in Paris, one in Prague was very
impressive with many paintings
on walls, ceiling and dome all',
in gold, and having thirteen al-
tars. St. Nicholas Church was
built in the year 1283, renova-
ted and partly re-built in 1704.
We saw the resident of the
American Embassy where Mr.
Holasek attended a dinner giv-
en by the U. S. Ambassador in
honor of the twenty eight news-
men from America in 1965.
We then visited the town of
Lidice where the Nazis massa-
cred all the men the town, sep-
arated mothers from their chil-
dren and burned the town to
the ground. A movie is shown in
a little theatre inside the Memo-
rial building showing the hor-
rible tragedy.
We then drove to the famous
Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) Health
Spa where many years ago, only
royalty and the very wealthy
could go, but now everyone goes
there to drink the health waters
and to enjoy a vacation. From
there we went to Marianske
Lazne, another beautiful health
Spa where we spent the night.
We ate the ’’Oplatky", a paper-
thin wafer like sweet cake. Peo-
ple promenade around the beau-
Elysees, also the Elysses Palace,
Arc de Triomphe, Bois de Bou-
logne, Napoleon's Tomb and the
Place de la Concorde, the Lux-
embourg Gardens, Pantheon,
the University of Sorbonne, and
Montmarte. We also took a side
trip to the Palace of Versailles
where the peace treaty after the
first would war was signed. The
Palace too is very lovely and
the flower gardens and foun-
tains are truly a thing of vast
beauty.
We then flew to Amsterdam,
Holland, passing the 17th cen-
tury Royai Palace and the na-
tional Rijks museum, famous for
its Rembrandt paintings. A
private launch cruise on Amster-
dam’s fascinating canals and
saw a flower auction that was
most unusual and unique. Mil-
lions of roses grown in Holland
are auctioned every day and sent
all over the world. In the sum-
mer, the roses that are not sold
are destroyed, but in the win-
ter months every flower is sold.
The bidder gets only one bid.
We then motored to' Utrecht,
and Arnhem, to the German
border and into the city of
Cologne and saw another tow-
ering Gothic cathedral of fame.
Then on to Duisberg, Essen, Dus-
seldorf, and to Bonn the capital
of West Germany, into Koblenz,
an old garrison town. On to
Wiesbaden, Mainz, Frankfort,
after a cruise up the pictures-
que River Rhine, passing vine-
yards, medieval castles, and the
legendary Lorelei Rock.
We lunched at the quaint old
town of Rudesheim with its win-
ding, narrow streets and lovely
old shops, but everything very
expensive.

Bobby Urbanovsky sparked on
four first-half touchdowns with
a 21-yard scoring pass to Clif-

Sullivan also snared the next
score, a six-yard pass from Pis-

But this night the Trojans had
many combinations. The Tro-
1 jans increased the margin to
28-0 at half when Piscacek
found Wolf open for a six-yard
aerial; Zahirniak's fourth
straight point was true.
While West continued its as-
sault in the third period on a
21-yard touchdown run by Pis-
cacek, the Rockets began to flex
an offense, too.
Freddie Evans put Robinson
on the scoreboard with a two-
yard plunge followed by a two-
point conversion, a pass from
Ronnie Schwartinsky to Buddy
Newman.
Robinson continued its come-

it was Evans who was in the
