Joseph's parish, Bryan, Wednesday of last week and continued through Thursday and Friday. President A. POLANSKY of Fayetteville, presiding. The Vice-president being absent, Rev. J. Chromcick of Fayetteville was chosen to fill that office at the beginning of the session. There were about forty officers and delegates in attend- ance, including eight priests, Rev. J. CHROMCICK, Fayetteville; G. SEEIK, West; .V. CHLAPIK, Ellinger; F. PRIDAL"Branham; F. Kaczer, Lyons; J. V. VRANA, Praha; F. JUST, Hallettsville; Chas. BENES, Bluff; and J. PELNAR of Bryan. Frank JAKUBIK, publisher of Novy Domov of Hallettsville, was present. This union was instituted six years ago and now has a membership of about 500. Only practical Catholics are admitted. At present the union provides an endowment of $600 for the family of each member upon the death of the husband, and an additional $300 upon the death of the wife. It was the purpose of the organization to increase endowment this year to $900 for each male member, but the uncertainty of crops and stringency of the times, made this impractical at present. Only those under forty-five years of age are admitted to the union, and then only after physical examination. The endowment fund is raised by the usual assessment plan. The membership consists principally of farmers, businessmen and priests, and the death rate is comparatively small. The Bohemian-Americanyotingmen held a special session upon pre- vious proclamation of st. Aloisius Society of Bryan and organized Young Men's Institute, the purpose of which are to educate and train the Catholic young men, and foster a spirit of benevolence, charity and good works. This organization had its origin among the Catholic young men of st. Joseph's parish, and the local society is number 1. 1In order to populate the organization it is proposed later to have a marriage endowment for each member to be raised by assessment and paid to e~ch one upon marriage. Each local society will make provision for a library to be accessible to the membership. ~ The.election of officers for the institute resul ed as follows: Protector, Rev. J. CHROMCICK, Fayetteville; President Rev. Chas. BENES, Bluff; Vice-president, F. TEAUREK, West; Secretary, A~POLANSKY, Lyons; Treasurer, A. SLANIAN, Bryan; Directors, Rev. G. SEBIX" West, and S. BRANDEJSKY, Bryan. Submitted by Naomi McCormick 125 126 PRESIDENT.S MESSAGE Here we are in the last quarter of the year. Much has been ac- complished. Thanks for all your good work but there is work that needs to be com- pleted. All officers and com- mittee chairmen are asked to take inventory and hasten to complete their activities. Publication of our cemetery records has slowed, but we hope to soon eliminate the problem causing the slow up. More mem- bers should get involved in this endeavor, especially with fund raising. Members, please submit queries for the Advertiser. Also, study the query column and see how much help you can give our out of town members. Submi.s- sion of your old bible records for publication would also be appreciated. The revision of the organization~s by-laws should bring about more efficient operation.

It carried rel igious overtones, too, for it was a season to give thanks to God for shep- herding his people through difficult times and at last blessing them with enough to eat and to spare for the first year in the history of their precar- ious settlement on the none-too-hospitable shores of the new world. Celebrations in honor of the harvest, as in a sense the Pilgrims~ was, have their origins shrouded in the mists of antiquity, going back long before the Christian era. Pagan mythology is filled with legends of gods and god- desses who controlled the sun, the rain, infestations of pests or their ab- sence, and all the many factors that determine whether the harvest will be bountiful or scanty. Our very language itself is replete with words 1 ike "cereal", from Ceres the Roman goddess of vegetable growth; "bacchanal ian", for drunken revels, in honor (maybe too much honor!) of Bacchus, the Greek god of grapes and wine, who nonetheless plays a proper role in harvest cele- brations, provided he restrain himself a bit; and others as well. The original object here was to relate harvest customs and harvest thanksgiving customs (though perhaps not always called such, hence the lower case "t") of other 1 ands to 1 i fe in the Brazos Valley, inasmuch as ,these cus- toms have been brought to America, to Texas, and to our very doorstep by im- migrants from those lands who have taken advantage of the "melting pot" this Nation provides to seek a better 1 ife in America, and specifically in the Brazos Valley. A source of some information on this topic is the Institute of Texian Cultures of the University of Texas, in San Antonio, from where I have obtained considerable data about the many national groups who came from allover the world and helped to settle and enrich what was to become the great State of Texas. The task of narrating, even in brief, the contributions of these groups, and partic~larly, where possible, their contributions in the Brazos Valley region, has turned out to be a formidable one. For this harvest season of 1987 it can encompass only a few groups, but we hope to expand the concept into a series of articles throughout 1988. The largest ethnic group to be represented, not only in the State, but locally as well, is Hispanic. This in turn is really composed of several sub- groups, Spanish (from Spain) and Mexican and Caribbean being at least three. (I am, of course, excluding from my count the vast numbers of Anglo-American settlers, largely of so-called aScotch-Irishu and Engl ish origin.) . v:fb Next are the Germanj again, these are divisible \into af least two gr.oi the "Pennsylvania Dutch" (more correctly, Deutsch) who first settled i~ sylvania and again sought a newer frontier, and those\Germans who came.:.::':' from the V<<terl<<nd. An even more important difference\is the reason t came to America: in the former case it was to escape r.el igious persec' i and in the latter, later immigrations, it was largely economic. ...:;;".. .::,,)~ , . .~. Ital ian immigrants and their descendants, though traditionallJ'm. numerous in New York and Cal ifornia, have also enriched Texas and' Valley. Following the lead of Christopher Columbus, who reveale4 156 world to Europeans, and Amerigo Vespucci, who gave it its name, a number of Ital ians were members of Coronado's expedition, and, about 1541, were the first of record to set foot on what is now Texas. Their celebration of Col- umbus Day, October 12, though not a harvest rite, does occur at this time, and to a degree partaKes of the harvest Dflavoru. More of a harvest festival, though less Known, is that of st. Mart.in (ell 316-400 A.D.), celebrated November 11. Our own Rosemary DE PASQUALE BOYKIN comments as follows: r \ .Per San Marttno, ogn1 mosto e v1no. Winter in sicny is still far off from the beginning of November. Although October rains are generally heavy, often causing flooding and damage to the crops, severe drought usually follows bringing Indian summer, Saint Martin's summer, to the island. Even though the summers are, for the most part, hot and dry, this sudden rush of water, and then dry spell produce and unexpected greening when and it seems that grass springs up overnight. The eleventh of November is the feast day of SaintMartin throughout I taly and it is then that school children learn: " Per San /1artino) ogni mosto e vino. "For Saint Martin's Day all the must has finished fermenting and become new wine, ready for tasting, accompanied by the /)iscotti di San /1artino, little round anise-flavored cookies as hard as rocks, , And so it is that this traditional Italian celebration has been brought to Bryan, Texas. Although not usually held on November eleventh, there is, nevertheless, a celebration of the vineyards and of the new wine at the , Messina- Hof Wine Cellars owned by Paul and Merrill Bonarrigo of Bryan, As the name implies, Messina, refers to the city in Sicily from where the . Bonarrigo family has originated. The Hof, refers to the Gerrvanic background of Mrs. Bonarrigo. Their celebration includes many activities such as: grape stomping, barrel sampling of the new wine, complete with music,.dancing and the tasting of the various entries for the cooking and baking contests, The Bonarrigos have gone to great lengths to bring a touch of the "old .countries" to our area. ;} \ . The Brazos Valley region is particularly rich in Czec:h culture. Present day Czechoslovakia was formed after World War I primarily of two ancient King- doms, Bohemia and Moravia, the former by far the larger and more important. When we realize that in 1930 the population of Bohemia, a~out 7,000,000, was one-third German (not surprising in view of its domination\bY the Habsburgs ~ for nearly four centuries), it is easy to understand the close similarity be- tween Czech and German folk-customs, in spite of the diffe~ences in language. \ .' Almost every community in this Valley has its annual Czech, or Bohemian, or corresponding celebration in September or October. This year Caldwell had its Kolache Festival September 12, College Station its Bohemian Festival Sep- tember 25 and 26,'Washington-ori.the-Br~zos its Oktob~rfest October ~ & 157 4, and I am sure there were others I have failed to note. e.og.aphicallY clos. to the e..mans in C.nt.al Eu.oP. we.. the Cz.chs (Boh.mians), the Polish and the W.nds.
