CONFERENCE

From September 1^st till up to September 7^th we had participated at the conference Numerical Algorithms in Plasma Physics. We had been members of the organizing committee of the conference. In frame of the conference a number of interesting meetings with Paraguayan scientists and prominent personalities had occurred, e.g. with prof. D. Z. Arellanem (rector of the university), prof. A. B. Castill (dean of the Polytechnic Faculty), and prof. Blas A. Servin (astronomer carrying on a small planetarium in Asuncion). We had met employees of the University observatory, president of the Paraguayan Academy of Sciences and many other scientific researchers. Special thanks belongs to Dr. Persia da Silva for his outstanding care of our group and consul  Dr. Jindřich Prouza for significant endeavor in realization of the conference.

Within the scope of the conference two our lectures had been realized: Peter Kulhanek - Plasma Universe and Auroras (Universidad Nacional de Asuncion), Jacob Rozehnal - Brown Dwarfs and Extrasolar Planets (Paraguayan Academy of Sciences). During the conference a great number of informal meetings had been established. As an example let us remind the warm reception in the Arch. Antonin Chytil residence. Mr. Chytil is the leading representative of the Czech community in Paraguay. We also visited a private collection of Mayas and Incas civilization of interminable value. In the collection, gold items from the pre Mayan period, were also included.

	Dr. Persio da Silva, member of the Paraguayan Academy of Sciences, crucial person of our visit. His care was outstanding. It is a pity we had no time to visit his ranch in Chaco.		Arch. Antonin Chytil. Leading personality of the Czech Community in Paraguay. Parents of Mr. Chytil come from Brno and Znojmo. Both Mr. Chytil and his sisters speak Czech language very well. With pleasure we accepted invitation to the reception in Mr. Chytil residence.
