Our dear and really rare guests, the delegation,and the model team of the Ceskoslovenska Obec Sokolska (Czechoslovak Sokol Community) of Prague, were entertained last night in accordance with a program arranged in advance, by the members of the Telocvicna Jednota Sokol Slavsky (Gymnastic Union Sokol Slavsky). For this occasion the Jednota invited all its members and their guests to its gymnasium at West 18th and South May Streets. Let us say right at the beginning that the membership evidenced a great deal of understanding and appreciation of the occasion because the great hall of the building was filled to the last seat long before the beginning of the program. The guests from the old country were brought in at 9:00 P.M. by the commander of the Telocvicna Jednota Sokol Slavsky, Brother Hak, and were greeted by a stormy "Na Zdar!" (To Success!) by the assembled multitude.

After the guests were seated at the tables reserved for them (the hall was furnished with long dining tables and chairs) the program begam with a number 2of selections played by the orchestra of Brother V. Husa. Then Brother Hak addressed the guests, remarking that the Telocvicna Jednota Sokol Slavsky is the mother union of all "red-shirt" Sokols in America, and told them that the Jednota, without ever expecting anything in return but the satisfaction of a duty well done, has been working unselfishly, and serving in matters of importance to the progress of the Sokoldom, the Czechoslovak nation, and humanity in general.....
