[Wild hogs, stampeding cattle
aid other rigors of Texas front-
■r life were described by an A&M
■nguage teacher when he spoke
at a recent Czechoslovakian socie-
p meeting in Washington D. C.
■ The speaker was Dr. John M.
privanek, associate professor in
tl e Department of Modern Lan
guages. His listeners were mem-
iers of the First Congress of the
Czechoslovak Society of Arts and
^Sciences in America.
I Skrivanek, a fourth generation
Texas Czech born in Caldwell in
Burleson County, teaches Russian
Ind has taught Czech and Span
ish.
He said he was surprised to learn
at the society congress that the
nembers were almost completely
[inaware of the Lone Star State’s
ich and colorful Czech history.
“Their mouths dropped open in
amazement when they heard the
pacts in my talk, ‘Czech in Texas,”’
the professor said.
Te told them that the first
nown Czech arived in Texas in
832 and was a good friend of
Houston. The newcomer’s
ame was a Dr. Dignowity.
Czech families arrived in the 18-
150’s in Houston and ti’aveled by
xen to Austin County about 60
ailes away. The trip took the pio-
[ueers six weeks.

cabins, cleared farm lands, reared
many children and eventually sur
vived everything that nature could
throw at them.
Some of the many problems con
fronting the settlers were stam
peding cattle and aggressive wild
hogs. He said the cattle tore up
fields and fences. And the hogs
chased school children up trees or
forced them to climb the nearest
rail fence.
Today, descendants of these pio
neers can be found running well-
kept farms or working in business
and industry in the cities.
Many of them, like Skrivanek,
have become teachers.
He told the socieety members
that Texas now has approximately
350,000 citizens of Czech extrac
tion.
While attending the conference,
Skrivanek made tape recordings
for Radio Free Europe and Voice
of America broadcasts. He discuss
ed his work, his family, the his
tory of Czechs in Texas and named
some outstanding Texas Czechs.

CS Volunteer Firemen Are
An Alert, Efficient Group
By RONNIE FANN
Battalion News Editor
With a high pitched wail, the
siren above the B&U Building sig
nals the College Station Fire De
partment to the scene of anoth
er emergency.
This completely volunteer fire
department wastes no time in get
ting onto the trucks, and out of
the station. Yesterday's alei’t dra
matizes this point most clearly.
At 1:20 p.m. the siren sounded
the alarm. Around 25 men in the
B&U Building dropped whatever
they were doing and raced for the
fire trucks.
By 1:21 the chief’s car had start
ed up. At 1:22:30 one truck had
started up, and by 1:23:30 all as
signed pieces of fire fighting-
equipment were out of the station
and on their way to Easterwood
Airport to stand by while a plane
with a g-as leak made a safe land
ing.
The total time for this was a-
bout S'/z minutes-not a record,
but by all means commendable for
a volunteer fire department.
“I am very proud of the men
here,” said Chief Glen G. Eimann.
“This is a very fine volunteer de
partment.”
None of the members get any
pay for their services except him
self, he went on to explain.
The members of the department
are on 24-hour alert. Since most of
them work in the B&U Building,
it is relatively easy for them to
drop their work during the day,
but at night, it takes them a little

longer to get ready.
This problem has been partially
solved by the housing quarters for
these men. They all live close to
one another in an area they call
the “firemen’s circle” which is
by the circle off Sulphur Springs
Road.
Eimann says that' the. number
of alarms received during the
week varies with the time of the
year.
“We sometimes receive six calls
a day during the fall after the
first freeze,” he said. “These are
usually grass fires or small brush
fires, which are very frequent
when the grass is dried out.”
Campus Security does its part
to help the fire department by
clearing traffic and holding spect
ators back. They receive news of
the fire or emergency by two-way
radio, and are usually on the scene
with the fire department.
Fighting fires is not the only
function of the College Station
Fire Department. The men are
also trained in artificial respira
tion practices, first-aid, and life
saving techniques.
“We keep the men well train
ed and ready for any emergency.”
commented Eimann. “Frequent
practices are held to keep the
men alert.”
