FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Sunday, November 15, ' we took a little trip to the Lodge Praha. No. 29, 'Taylor Fall. Festival and, of coursle, visited with your editor's mother, "Grandma," Th4resa Sefcik at the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home No. I in Taylor. She was in good spirits and glad to see 'her two grandsons, naturally. The entire Sefcik family is grateful for the care Lilac receives there. Frankly, when your editor worked (with so many other members) in 1956 for a rent home for our aged, little did he dream that his mother or family would some day need the facility.
The program at the Fall Festival was very good and, although we did not have the privilege to see all of it, we enjoyed all that we ElaW. The "Art Linkletter" skit and the German Folk Dancers were good and added variety to the program. The pictures have been delayed and will appear at a later date. The Taylor Lod ge No. 29 Beseda Dancers also took part and here we wish to add that Sister Amelia Pokorny be and, surely she is, proud of -ft,: for dancing .93 willingly and at so many events. They are to be congratulated, especially for going to Rest Home No. I and entertaining the guests so often. Several guests have mentioned how hutch they enjoy the performances and appearances.
PAVE A LITTLE CHUCKLE A small pet shop in New York had in the window the following sign: "Lonely kitten desires position with a kind 'family. Will do light mousework." "Bah!" scoffed the tycoon to one of his underlings who had just asked for a raise. "What'd the matter with you young fellows nowadays? Why, by the time I was your age I'd already inherited my first million." The human brain is a wonderful thing. it starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public. Two wives! were airing, their troubles: "I shall get a divorce," said the first. "My husband and I just don't get along." "Why don't you sue him Tor incompatibility?" asked the second, sympathetically, "I would if I could catch him at it," replied the first. The work your editor took over on January 1, 1969, nearly IWO : years ago, is a pti9ition requiring much time and a large amount of self-discipline and thought to keep on an even. keel, and keep a commonsense balance of mind. However, it is also rewarding to have received the complimentS of members and readers who also hold re.9ponsible 'positions, such as congressmen and
'others and it is gratifying to know that our readers at9o . go out of their way to defend the rights of others and all. Certainly our fraternal members often need that type of defense. o ♦ We, in our SPJST Society certainly follow the single and collective goals of our reading group including our readers in all of America and even in. Czechoslovakia. We, like they, try to keep our organ (the Ai estnik) on a high 'plane, which it should be, being the official organ of a fraternal society. ♦ ♦ If one of our members accomplishes something other than the ordinary, of whatever nature it may be, we are proud of them and gladly publish their accomplishments in our organ. e In this editorial, we would like to mention a few deeds of fraternal nature, although they may not affect our SPJST directly. Sunday, November 22 was the official ground-breaking ceremony for the West Community Hospital. Your editor was called to Rowena to officiate at Brother Edward r. ch' Pavlieek'9 funeral could not attend. It will be constructed nearly next door to Lodge Jaromir No. 54, here in West. We are including a few photographs which we feel will interest our membership. The manner in which this affects our SPJST follows: Brother Joe Tobola, deceased, and hia wife owned the land on which the
