FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK We prOmised to write about the Czech Day at the State Fair of Texas at Dallas, and for two issues now we have had to postpone this due to other pressing business. The program in the Coliseum waa very full and entertaining. Bro. John G. Bubak handled the master of ceremonies part of the program with dispatch. Indeed, there was very much crowded into the period between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Bro. Calvin Chervenka presented the welcome address in both English and Czech and the Dallas Czech Concert Orchestra certainly did an outstanding job of all the musical numbers under the conducting of Bro. Cyrill (Sid) Pokladnik. They are to be complimented for the time and effort in rehearsals, etc. The S `koi, as usual, 'were certainly well received and also are to be complimented, Ail of the teenage groups from various societies were pleasant to listen to as they presented their Czech songs. The Robstown Ballet Dancers were well received for they certainly helped add variety to the program. 7Th e ton and Dallas Choral Drones py.,s,.,1.)ed their zimnbers and his daughter did :., called, "Your Ifycs and your editor would like to single out one little lady, Sadie Liska, not only for her beautiful voice, but also her perfect enunciation and _pronunciation of both Czech and English.

Veterans' Day, Nov. 11 THE VOICE The solitude of an autumn's eve, Endears the things I love.

A soft voice in the rustling leaves Descends from trees above.

As the voice speaks softly, clearly, And mingles with my heart, I feel a joy in the World I know, And wish dearly to impart.

Vividly I recall with the voice, Another tree, a river, a view .. .

In reverence I respond to all, As I did then . so I do now. proof that if anyone has enough pride and put.9 forth enough effort, they can learn to speak, read and write correctly. Too much of our poor English used is due to only one factor — a person's nonchalant attitude to try to learn to do everything they attempt correctly. Pride in one's self can certainly have a lot to do with success in one's accomplishments. The ladiezi in many original Czech, Moravian and !Slovakian costumes certainly added to : ,efe, Las';, but eery net lea! y,, as the Beseda, performed by 22 circles to the live music of the DOC Orchestra. All 176 , of the dancers were in costume, and as your )editor watched the entire program one thought crossed his mind, more than once: With this type of interest, espe-

daily from the little tykes and teenage groups and the pride in their ancestors' past culture, heritage and songs, our Czech traditions and culture are far, far from dying away. The entire committee and participants of the 3(}-th American-Czech Day deserve our appreciation and thanks. o * We would again like to re-emphasize that our membership read the article "Youth Department, SPJST Supreme Lodge" under Youth Section pertaining to our youth 16 years and older. The local lodge annual meetings are coming up and election of lodge officers for the coming year, 1971 will be held. Some have already been held.

Read this article carefully and give it some thought. Your editor could write quite a short personal history about how the younger members were given responsibility at Lodge No. 88 and how it helped the lodge in a progressive way. Given these h.h serious consideration, of course, lvith moderation. e also again ur;i:i seer.retare. sky, ,anler

• The most common sore throats these days are caused by one or another type of virus infection. There still has been no antibiotic developed that's really effective against virus infections.

There are several common-sense rules and tricks which most doctors recommend for treatment of sore throats: 1. If possible, go to bed and stay there until you feel better. If you are too busy, at least get all the resit you can and keep warm.

2. At the first sign of rawness, begin a routine, of gal Rling every hour, using a solution that is safe and gentle, yet acts as a powerful local antiseptic.

We were very pleased with the large turnout, and the entire day's events went off smoothly.

Two brothers who did more than anyone else to make the District V fall meeting a success were Bro. John Mikclajewski, and Bro. W. F. Wehring, both of Lodge 88. These two brothers volunteered to barbecue and did a wonderful job. Few people realize that these two men worked all through the night and a good part of Sunday to give everyone present this excellent barbecue. I, in behalf of Lodge 172, to express my appreciation and gratefulness to these two men for their big effort. I also wish to thank Sister Evelyn Mikeska, the district organizer, for helping us work the ticket booth.

Also, there were some men from Lodge 88 who helped at the bar. I regret that their names are not obtainable at this time, but I offer them our thanks.

244/$750000 Fraternally yours, Joe B. Ilejny, Vice-Pres.

Supreme Lodge, SPJST SPJST"Special Dance" for Ennis Lodges Nov. 21, 1970 ------SPJSTDear Sister or Brother' Secretary,

As you probably know, the 1969 Revenue Act made all tax-exempt organizations, including churches, subject to the unrelated business income tax.

'There is no longer any wholly taxexempt organization in the country, insofar as federal taxation is concerned.

Each society and each local lodge which normally has gross receipts in any taxable year in excess of $5,000 must file a return on or before May 15, 1971. The return will be filed on Form 990.

The National Fraternal Congress Law Committee is requesting the Internal Revenue Service to exclude, .from the gross receipts of $5,000, the premiums collected by the local lodge and then passed on to the home office. The lodges who have gross receipts in excess of $5,000 must keep an accurate record of all receipts and be prepared to file a return. All such lodges are subject to an audit by the Internal Revenue Service.

We have not received all the necessary information concerning the taxation of fraternal societies.

Don't write to the Supreme Lodge asking for information concerning the taxation because we don't have the information. You will be advised when we receive it from the Internal Revenue Service.

This letter is to caution you to keep a complete record of all the lodge receipts and disbursements so that you will have the figures ready before the time to file the return.

Thanking you, I am, Fraternally yours, R. A. Urbanovsky, Secretary "Benefit Dance" at Lodge No. 130 Nov. 21, 1970

YOUTH SECTION YOUTH DEPARTMENT SUPREME LODGE, SPJST To: ALL LODGES ' For years, the SPJST has given much and done much for the youth of our fraternal society. One of the main reasons we have been fostering benefits for our youth is so that we could. one clay, work them into the ranks of our adult membership and so that they would become workers and meaningful members of our adult ranks.

How many times have you heard the statement, perhaps a bit worn by now, "The youth of today are our leaders of tomorrow."

Which "tomorrow" have we been talking about?

For quite some time now, we nave felt that not many of our younger 'members or adults know about the provisions of Article 77 of our by-laws.

It states: Members of the. Juvenile Department, upon reaching age 16, automatically become members with all rights of adult members by complying with all requirements of adult membership.

As with anything else, changes have been made, and will continue to be made, in all phases of our SPJST, and our Youth Department is no exception.

We all know that we must adjust to the times. We have done it in all other aspects of our everyday life.

We have beard the complaint so many times that our younger members are not interested in lodge work and that they will not attend lodge meetings. This may be so, but a careful look into such instances reveals that there is no place for the younger members; that any attempt on their part to become a working part of the lodge had been met with a cold shoulder by some adults and an outand-out rebuff or dressing down. Naturally, after such an experience, their enthusiasm was reduced to nothing.

What we have needed is a blending of the older, seasoned, and more experienced members with the energy and enthusiasm of the young. Neither can carry the load alone. It is a two-way partnership of understanding and tolerance. When a younger person makes a mistake, there is a way to correct him or her without crushing their ego or making them feel degraded about it. The usual amount of

tact and diplomacy will work in most cases. Consequently, the older ones must make a little "room" for these younger people, and the younger ones must be willing to work hard_and accept responsibility. Neither should take this matter lightly.

If we ever had a gap between our older and younger members, the chance to do something about it is NOW, because beginning next: June 1, 1971, our youth program benefits will be available only to youths ages 6 through 17, and camp age will be 6 through 16. (Actions by the Supreme Lodge).

We feel the time has come when lodges should start introducing younger members into the adult lodge when and wherever possible. If you wait until next year, it will be too late for those youth who will be affected by our age changes on June 1. It is not our intention to push any adult out of any position. We ask that you approach this matter with logic and reason. We are not advocating that lodges proceed to elect 10-year olds as lodge presidents, but there are pos_ii'Hans of responsibility that these young people can handle, if they are given the chance. Positions on committees are good places to start. elective or appointive.

In those: lodges with youth clubs, your lodge youth leader should have been in contact with your lodge officers ahead of time about this matter.

Those lodges without youth clubs should give this serious consideration, nevertheless.

What your lodge does in this regard, may be the most important decision your lodge will make regarding your future. Now is the time to "cash in" on your youth. We have been talking about it; now let's see if we can make good on our "preaching." If there is a gap, let's bridge it! ConSider the talents of your members 16 and over.

Put them to work!

Fraternally yours, Nick A. Morris, President and Head of Youth Dept.

James J. Janousek, State Youth Director FROM THE OFFICE OF THE STATE YOUTH DIRECTOR.

POINT CONTESTS Dear Readers, Many surveys, reports, and other work have prevented this report from

10 being compiled sooner. Overall, things look much better than ever before. In ;opine cases, the message isn't getting through, because the points are not that hard to earn. Then when you consider around $3,000 in prizes! For your information, how to earn points as a junior, teenager, and youth club, are at the end of this report. Keep this Vestnik for handy reference. Each .youth leader keeps your points, but if you want to keep them too, it is OK. If you do keep points, check with your leader periodically, because some things play or may not count.

Donated services is probably the one thing that will raise the most questions.

If you can answer "yes" to all of the following questions, then points have probably been earned. Is the service other than a regular committee duty?

Is it something all members have a .chance to do? 15 it something relating to youth club work or a sponsored project of the youth club? Is it something that does not occur on any regular basis? Does it have the approval of your leader?

Now, with a better understanding of the points and a list of what earns points, all of you can really get busy.

I'll expect to see several changes in the point Eitandings next March. The contest is still in the early stages. Anyone can win.

The following report is based on information supplied by the youth leaders for June, July, and August, 1970.

LODGE NO. 48, BEYERSVILLE Dear Readers, On Monday, October 26, we attended the College of Knowledge (training class) at Lodge No. 47, Seaton. I rode along with Amelia Pokorny, youth leader from Lodge 29, and her assistant, Millie Rieger. My assistant, Ann Gensler, was unable to attend due to the lack of a baby slitter. As usual, we received lots of useful information. It was fun doing the letter monograming with Tri-Chem. My letter turned out a little wide, but as Frank Klinkovsky said, "They sure won't have any trouble identifying you." We enjoyed svacinas and a delicious noon meal, thanks to the Seaton members and more specifically, Laverne Vanicek.

The youth club of Lodge 48 met Sunday, November 1 after the mother

We were privileged to have Mr. and Mrs. Lad Zatopek as visitors. Brother Lad was also our guest speaker and we thank him for giving us a good pep talk.

Among the evening's entertainment were games of table tennis and 4square. We would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Wuensche for bringing. their table tennis wt.

SUIVIAVA NARODNill PARKEM?

V posledni dobe se hodne hovoti o vytvoreni Suma yskeho narodniho parku, pripadne o yytvoterii mezinarodniha prirodniho parku, na kterem by se podilely aSSR, NSR, a Rakousko. Kdy a kde vlastne vznikla my glenka vytvoreni Stredoevropskeho piirodniho parku? Prvni zminka o tomto parku, kte, ry by zahrnoval itzemi Sumavy, Bavorskeho lesa a rakouskeho Mahlviertelu, je v knize videnskeho ekonoma Strzygowskeho "Potrebuje Evropa narodni parky?", Vy gla na poeatku gedesatych let. Tyto myglenky byly akceptovany ophranati zminenYch tri state.

Tato myglenka se dostala take do plane komise pro ochranu prirody prirodnich zdroja phi UNESCO, kde projekt stredoevropskeho piirodniho parku dostal nazev ""Interwald". Cilem :projektu je zachovani jedine a ppSledni oazy klidu a "zeleneho more" stredni Evropy. A jak vypadal dal gi vY✓oj? V rote 1963 vznikla na na gem azenti. Chranena, krajinna oblast Surnava. A tak, i kdyZ vytvoreni mezinarodniho piirodniho parku pro Sumavu je zatim pouze snem, zastava vellcVm kladem schvalenY Uzemni plan Sumavy, kterY byl potvrzen i vladou CSSR. A tak Sumava zastane i naddle mistem s nenaru genou prirodou.

NeUnavna a eila, jista jako horska ovce, tekava a divoka, skakala, lezla a behala ak Shefford nekcly trnul itZasem. Toto dobrodrU2stvi bylo opravdu vypinenYm snem. Snad jej mohla dovesti k pokladu, ukryterrm na Upati dohoveho ablouku. AvAak tato mySlenka byla provazena smutnou vzpominkou na mrtvou divku. Nemohl na ni vzpominati v pritomnosti teto lachvatne bytosti, je2 byla prOve tak podivna jako krasna. Shefford, kdyZ7 se chopil nabizene mu hueruky, kcly2 ucitil jeji silny stisk, jeji mladi a Zivotnost, pocitil strach eloveka belieiho k propasti a nemohouciho se zaraziti. Mormonske (levee, tizavrene stale ve vesnici, nyni divoce a Miele poletovalo a lezlo, rortrhnovSi Upine sva, pouta.

Oel ji pronikave planuly jako zraky orla a byly nyni Upine temne. Shefford instinktivne chapal podklad tohoto zvlaStniho, primitivniho :a divokeho ducha.

Patrila sem do techto vysin, pomyslil si. Byla east' teto divoeiny. Byla asi zrozena a vychovana v opustene pustifle, kde dul vitr, horske vrcholy se rYsovaly na e: iste obloze a vSe, bylo objato tichem. Nilici se slunce dotklo se okraje vzdalene steny a jako by na rozloueenou zaplalo mohutnYin, zlatYin svetlem. A divka byla jim obklopena jako svatozati. Shefford ji miloval v tomto okamZiku. Pomyslil si, prce ji nemiloval ji4'7] dtive, ale na minulosti nezaleZelo, jen kdy2 si byl jist pritomnosti. Zachvel se trochu obavou smtgenou se zarinutkem. VSecko, Co vybudovalo jeho poznatky o teto pustine, bylo neobyeejne, .podivuhodne, a toto bylo nejpodivnejSi ze vSeho.

Slunce rychle zapacialo a Zlate svetlo se 'Mille zmenilo. Rychle vyprchalo. A divka se menila prave tak rychle. Zdala se ptipominati si samu sebe, i sedela, jako by zkroukna Zalem. Shefford usedl tesne vedle ni.

— Slunce zapadlo. Musime jiti, pravila. AvSak nepohnula se, - Kdykoli je Vain libo, odpovedel.

Svit z jejich oei zmizel spolu s rumencem tvari. , Vratila se ji bledost spolii se smutkem. Musil se kousati do ja:zyku, aby ji nerekl, co si myslil, aby zad.rZel tisice otazek. Byl vSak presvedCon, ze se mu dostalo dosti, kdyz ji Videl, kdy byl s ni, kdy'Z Zapotimela samy sebe. Bylo to fichva,tne; - miloval ji proto. Ale nethelo to jeSte vice zhorMti tragedii jejiho Zivota, at' byla jakakoli. Snalil se vyloueiti sama sebe. I po,. zoroval ji.

Upirala oci na zlate vroubene vzdalenkch sten na zapade. Vide' jas;no, jak milovala tyto divoke hory. A zdalo se mu, 0,e v jejim pohledu je skryta neznieitelna vzpominka na nulost, St'astna Cast jejiho aivota, ktenyni unaSela jeji mySlenky.

— Musime jiti, iekla, vstavajic.

Shefford vstal rovnea, aby ji provazel. Pohledla nail, a jeji uptene °el zdaly se mu tikati, ze ji poinohl zapomenouti na ptitomnost, upaniatovati ji na detsvi a ze s nim Chtela takto straxiti kaMe St'astne, itchvatne odpoledne. A to vytuSil, ze rty Mela uzaWelly mormonskou peeeti sti.

Shefford se k nim piipojil. Tohoto veeera se nechtelo nikornu do keei. Joe v zaii ohne zvedave pokukoval po SheffOrdovi. Kdy'Z bylo po jidle a Shefford nepokojne piechazel sem a tam, Joe kekl'nevrie: Dnes v noel racie j i zastati pia ohni.

Shefford zaslechl jeho poznamky, ale nedbal ji. Piece v:Sak jeji noel mu tkvel neodbytne v mysli, nebot' bud' byla diktovana Zarlivosti, nebo byla vYstrahou.

Pruceli bylo zahaleno stinem. Marne pronikal oeiba temnotu, aby spattil bilou postavu na temnem pozadi. Zdalo se mu, Ze v tichu slySi mocne, tlumene adery sveho srdce.

Dole na ravine porostle Salveji Shefford spattil dlouhY pruh zeme, kde kere a trava byly uSlapany. To, pravil Navajo, byla zavocini draha, kde mladi bojovnici cvieili sve mustangy a zavodili pied oeima pannen a starcu kinene.

- Nas, Ta :Sego, zavodil jai, tam nelcdy? otazal se Shefford.

— Jsem ndeelnikem podle rodu. AvSak byl jsem ukraden z domova a proto nedovedu,nyni jezditi tak, abych piekonal bojovniky sveho kmene, odpovedel Indian trpce.

Jinde Joe Lake zastavil sveho kone, upozornuje Shefforda na veliky ZlutY balvan lezici na stezce. I rekl cosi Indianovi nakeeim Navajo.

- SlySel jsem o tomt0 kameni, IsenAha, pravil Joe, kdyZ Nas Ta Bega cosi promluvil. slezte s kone a prohlecinete si jej.

Shefford slezi s kone, avSak Indian zitstalv sedle.

Joe se opiel svou velikou rukou o kamen, snaZe se jim pohnouti. Podle Sheffordova odhadu kamen byl tamer ovalnY, asi stopy yysoky a vice neZ dve stopy SirokY. Joe odhodil sve sombrero, vdcehl z hluboka a skloniv se, objal kamen paZerni. Byl neobyeejne teZkY a silny muZ, a Shefford videl jasne, Ze chce kamen nadzdvihnouti, bude-li to mcdno. Joeova Siroka, zacia se napnula, zploStila,svaly na rukou vystoupily, , na krku nabeklouby zapraskaly,ly hly a tvat zeernaIa.

THE FIRST ONE THERE .

GENERALLY REAPS THE HARVEST! Yes, the old saying is true — "The early bird gets the worm." SPJST insurance is a good product to sell, however, it will not be sold if it is not presented. Many parents and grandparents like to give SPJST insurance certificates, of various plans, as Christmas presents to their loved ones. Now is the time to be thinking of this. Our SPJST offers many extras along with our life insurance plans. Check with any SPJST insurance organizer — there is no obligation.
