Vaeni elenove SPJST: Kritika nekterYch nakch elenfi, co jsou proti koupeni Professional budovy v Temple, se lune dotYka, dosti nemile, protae co &len stavebniho vYboru vim, co jsme se nahledali, na jsme naki neco takoveho, co by bylo vhodne pro nak Hlavni fitadovnu.

V nak posleclni schrizi stavebniho vYborn a Hlavni fitadovny, kde sedmnact elenn volilo pro koupeni a dva proti. Stavebni vYbor zvolil eleny jako vYbor, aby dodelali Professional budovu na moderni a prvottidni, nali my odvedeme tuto budovu hlavnim ritednikUm. Na tomto podvYboru jsou bratii Matush, Syptak a ja.

Neni to snadna vec, dohlednout na v gechny ty podrobnosti, ktere jsou, pottebne, aby opravy byly prvottidne udelane. Na ptiklad brats Matush ztravil minulY tyden v Dallas cel;‘;7 tYden a chodili jsme spolu od kontraktora ke kontraktoru aby' chom dostali nejlepSi praci za nejptimetenejk corm, aby budova byla modern}.

Ja sam vlastnim domov, kterY jsem koupil pied etrnacti roky a nehandlil bych jej za novY stejne velikosti, kterY by byl dnes vybudovank.

Jedine, co chci od vas, sestry a bratii, abyste meli "strpeni, aZ stavebni vybor yam poda, pinou zpravu o cola zalaitosti. Potom intrZetc podati svuj Usudek a nahled. AZ my dokoneime nasi praci a oclevzdamc cclou budovu nasirn blavnim idednikfun, my budeme ehtit, abyste ptijeli do Temple, jestli yam to bude mane, a abyste ptivezli s sebou vase ptatele.

have three producting oil wells on our farm property No. 67, in Atascosa County, Texas, which the Order owns out right and out of which the Order gets full 1/8 royalty.

While most of the above listed RMO Properties may never have any oil, gas or mineral production on them, some of them may be very valuable, in the future. The ownership of royalty and/or minerals interests in so many tracts of land scattered all over the state, which the Supreme Lodge has been accumulating for 25 years, is an asset to our Order, which is certainly worth cf consideration. The ownership of these oil, gas, and mineral properties, which are carried on our books at a valuation of $1.00 each, plus the actual assets of our Order, places our Order, in a most favorable, enviable, safe and sound position and condition, among Fraternals.

It gives us another reason why we are and have a right to be proud of cur SPJST. The "acquisition, accumulation and retention of these mineral interests, over a period of years certainly speaks well for the business acumen, foresight and business management of the affairs of the Order by the Supreme Lodge. The ownership of these mineral properties and interests is a great asset now and may prove to be even more valuable in the future . . . it is an asset that probably no other Fraternal Order possesses.

Note. Brother Valcik: The above is submitted to you as the article for the Vestnik that you requested me to write.

I hope it meets with your approval.

Fraternally yours, J. F. Chupick, Secretary 4,

Temple, Texas Dear Friends: don't have too much to report toclay, but I do wish to announce that .on March 19 at 7:30 p. m. we'll have our second Birthday Celebration. Members who had birthday in February will be honored along with all who had and will have birthdays in March. All who want to may bring a little snack and we'll have a good time playing dominos, cards "taroky," and bingo, or you may just visit.

Remember, if you find someone who has a birthday on the same clay you have, you'll gel a prize. Then there will be the grand march, so let's all come out for a good time. Everybody, not, only members, is invited.

We celebrated our golden anniversary at our last meeting which was held Sunday, March 1. Brother Valcik gave us a good inspiring talk. We were glad to have Brother and Sister Valcik, with us even though they surprised us with their visit.

Brother Joe Sefcik, chartered member, also read a most interesting paper on the origin of our lodge. Brother J. F. Motl, another chartered member, read the first minutes of our Lodge. He was the first secretary of our Lodge. I thank these Brothers very much for taking part in our program. I also wish , to thank Sister Doris Ann Bartek for her rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner," Sister Patsy Jo Hejl, and Brother Larry Olejnik for the Czech speeches. I thank all who took part in the singing of the song and showed us. that they know how to sing. For the Lodge, I wish to thank all the Sisters who brought all those good things to eat for there really was plenty for everybody. I think we should have these lunches more often. Don't you?

I want to also say that at our next meeting which will come on Easter Sunday, we'll have an easte • egg hunt for all the children; so come and bring the children. We'll have a short program, too., We won't serve lunch this time.

Fraternally, Mrs. Clara Hejl.

Sekretar virginske koIonie a jeden z nejvlivnejdich elenri jeji prvni spravy, William Clayborne, citil se_ sam podkozen marylandskYm patentem a zahajil s lordern Cecilem dlouhe a trpke neptatelstvi, zneu2ivaje 1 jeden'eas kolem roku 1652 — Glayborne uvedl . Maryland ()pet pod vladr! Virginie, z ni2 se osada vymanila ciiky obratnosti a vernosti guvernera Stoned. "ZlatY duck provincie" Clayborne zmizel s jevidte Novell° sveta po roce 1660, erm2 se vdak jests neuklidnilo vdechno vinobiti sporti. Zeme mela jests s‘,.6 krute problemy, vniiroporliticke a nabo2enske. Puritani se chopili zbrani proti vladnim "papelenctim", katolikum, bitvu vyhrali a s ni ziskali vedouci postaveni. Byla to sice 2abornyai valka — "stretlo se" asi d ye ste vladnich a pribli2ne stejnYm poetem puritanic atsledky vdak byly briny va2ne. Na dtesti vdlka vyeerpala i vitezne rebely takle autorita lordova se mohla zase upevniti.

Nicinene osada se stdle podobala kotli. Byly sem, mida ykem, prenadeov nevre2ivosti a osobnl boje z domovifly a politicks prevraty ye vlasti nachdrely odezvu i tu. Lord musil proplouvati temi viry a promenami s virtuositcu, ktera na dtesti mu nechybela.

Nekcly ovdem i nejvetdi obezretnost selala, Tak guverner Fendall zradil lorda prave tak jako pied tim puritany.

Kdy2 v Anglii zemrel Cromwell, jeho dirveru si lord ziskal, vyvrcholil Fendall svoji drivejdi podzemni einnost. Ziskal pro sebe dolni snemovnu osady, rozpu-

stil snemovriu horni a city:11M ate strhnouti vdechnu moc no sebe. Jenk lord — bylo to v roce 1660 -- tome kretkY konec. Fendalla, "toho pertidniho eloveka a krivoprise2nika, ktereho jsme neclavno poverili Uraclent guvernera Marylanclu", sesaclit a governerem jmenovat svelto bratra Filipa Calverta. :Fendallovi ztrata hrclla. Byl vdak aranetii omilostnen a potrestan toliko pokutou Lim. ze byl zbaven ebeanskych pray.

'Pak nekliclne byly vnitrni pomery osady, je2 v roce 1660 mela toliko civanect tisic dudi. Ovdem, neeitajic v to Incliany, s striclave byla vedena valka nebo byl talr2oven mir.

Hermanovi pri jeho navdteve SvatO Mari v roce 1650 neudlo, 2e lord neni oblacpen zdravYm okolim a 2e rozvirene ctdzka holandske dr2avy na rece Delaware je snide zemernou hrou kamarily, sleclujici vla,stni tile.

Lord:vy patenty vskutku byly uddlosti, je2 verejnYm minenim Svate Mari byla hojne probirdna.

Obecny lid v krome "U dvou pardalii" posuzoval vec sl y,vivave, ba priznive. Nepomahala a nevadila zaujatost krernare, jen2 ntel vdude sve male, jako yydri zarostle do sadla.

Tesar Robinson, syn stareho Johna Robinsona, jen2 se ve Svete Mari usadir jirc pied triceti. lety, hajil nazor, 2e je fispeehern osady, kdy2 ziskala mute Hermancva yYznanni.

"Slykl jsem", uvadel tento mu2 a stole, "Ze Herman nalezel k nejmajetnejdim lidem Noveho Amsterodomu. Byl-li majetnY tarn, pros by nemohl miti majetek u nes'? Potrebujeme v .Marylandu lidi, kteri nem dovedou. A Herman prvni ve Virginii obchodoval s tabakem — a poclivejte se, jak se virginsky tabak zrnohl! V Novem Amsterodamu si Herman pomohl s indigent.

"Svatd pravda," souhlasil celY stul.

"Tabdkem platime v:Sechno, ba i/dane v tabaku se topime!"

Na stole zazyonilo nekolik chlobnYch stribrnYch mind. Byl na nick obraz lorda vlastnika.

"Toto jsou nak prvni mince, letos ra.2ene," doprovazel hlas toto gesto. "A kdo tuto nodi menu zna? Kdo techto penez pou2ive? Kdo jich potrebuje? Nikdo.

Kremare hnetlo, 2e neni sto ovladnouti nazory po svem. Proto se znovu zlobne "Civilisovat! Civilisovat s vdelijakYmi pobehliky a darebaky!" natolik Augu"Kdybyste nemluvil stina Hermana zname . ."

"A neznatel" zutil kremar. "Vite, koho sem na jare poslal lordevi se svou mapou? Jakuba Younga, toho eloveka, ktery svedl 2enu reverenda Learse z Altony a utekl s ni! A kam utekl? Na Ceske manstvi, pod ochranu pana lorda Hermana!"

"Kdo vi, jak to s tim svedenim bylo."

Krernercvy tvare, dva bochnieky sedla, ztemnely do rude..
