Jestli jste si platili na zdravotni poji gteni pet nebo deset roktl, to neznamena, `te u spoleenosti mate penetitou zalohu na vleklou nemoc nebo na_nakladnou operaci.

Jest], mezitim onemocnite, spoleenost ma pray() v deveti ptipadech z deseti, ze nemusi vas poplatek pfijmout. Anebo cela piedegla srnlouva se fipine zmeni. .

Dnegni obchod zdravotniho poji gteni je pfirovnavano k decku, ktere si hraje, lita a dovadi bez dohledu. Proto kongres vygetfuje tento druh obchodu.

Nejsou vgechny obchodni spoleenosti gpatne. Nektere se snati poskytnout yefejnostt potfebnou ochranu. Av gak vgechny spoleenosti operuji na stanovisku, te zdravotni poji gteni je pro zdrave lidi, ne pro nemocne. Nektere spoleenosti dovoli nemocnemu eloveku, aby si podrtel pojistku, ale phi hodne vyggim poplat ku. Jine spoleenosti ponechaji nemocnemu pojistku, kdyt podepi ge dodateenou smlouvu, te nebude potadovat dal gi nahrady v pripadu kdyt by se tata,t nemoc opakovala. Pouze asi jedna spolednost z deseti ruci, te si pojistku mohu obnovit, ovgem z jistYmi podminkami, ktere jsou tigteny "drobnYmi literami."

Jestli mate zdravotni poji gteni, otevisete svou pojistku a dobhe si ji proetete.

Jste poji gteni jen na "osm stragnYch a nakatlivYch nemoci?" Je tam napsano, te pojistka mute b't zru gena kdykoliv, kdyt chcete znovu pla,tit? Nebo je tam vytiSteno, te obnoveni pojistky je na liboviili (option) spoleenosti?

Pog tovni inspektohi mnohdy by radi zakroeili, te takove nesvedomite smlouvy se posilaji pogtou. Ale smlouva je smlouva: "velke litery to daji a male litery to zase vezmou."

VYSVETLENI PRO 0,ENY Toto je mala oprava _protokoll' ze schilze Hlavni afadovny, co se tYee mne, Birdie Hilsherove, Chtela, jsem pa tajemnikovi, aby fake nine poslal neopraveny opis protokolu, jak jsou opisy posilane ostatnim, kdo jsou ye schazi, ale bratr tajemnik na to zapomnel. Proto musim upozornit na chybu, kdyZ uz byl protokol uvefejnenY ye restniku. Nejsem tomu rada, ze to musim udelat, ale zda se mne, ze elenove maji vedet, co do protokolu nepatii.

Ve Vestniku 17. finora 1954 je uveteineny protokol z mimoicadno schaze Hlavni Tam stoji, ze kern navrhnula svojeho manZela za mistoptedsedu.

Ale melo tam bYt napsane, Ze kdyZ bratr Marek, pfedseda Hlavni idadovny, pfeeet1 jrnena kandidata, sam pfedseda o kaalem neco povedel a potom se obratil na mne, jestli bych chtela teknout nekolik slov, kdyZ jmeno mojeho manlela bylo, mezi kandidaty. Protole nine bratr Marek vybidnul, tak jsem vstala a pramluvila par slov, ale ne ze ,jsem ho sama navrhovala.,Na to se vdichni pkitomni y e schazi pamatuji, ze nebylo 241clne vysvetlovani, kdo koho navrho-

Ve stredu, dne 17. bfezna 1954. val, protok bratr pkedseda jmenoval jenom kandidaty. Praia bych si, aby elenove o torn vedeli, 'g e v protokolu to nebylo spravne podane. Jsem osobne rada, ze nakm mistopfedsed!cu se stal bratr Jan Kubena, kterY nam udela dobreho fifednika. Ale nerozumim, proe se do protokolu dostalo new takoveho, co se nestalo.

V p •ecichazejici schuzi Hlavni rifadovny stalo v protokolu, ktery je ye Vestniku 3. Unora 1954, ge ja jsern pogadovala od Hlavni frfadovny za nejakou pisnieku pro SPJST okolo $100, a ge na moji 'adost bylo to odhlasovane a povolene. Rada bych buto chybu v protokolu oprayila, ge jsem nic nepo gadovala a g e jsem nemluvila o nejake pisnfece. Vysvetlovala jsem fediteltim a fikednikrim, ge se nine podafilo, ge jsem nagla Ceskeho skla.datele, kterY napsal melodii a slova o nak SPJST. Vysvetlila jsem, slova jsou desky a take anglicky, ge piseri mohou zpivat stafi nebo mladi. Oznamila jsem, co onen skladatel za piseri pogaduje. 'Utednici chteli vedet, jak to melodie zni, proto jsem ji zanotovala. Pravila jsem, ge mladi by ji mohli nazYvat "Fraternity Song" a stark Cleni by pro ni meli jmeno "Piseri SPJST." Mela, jsem noty a slova, tak jsem je v gern rediteltim a ri •ednikinn ukazala. Ale nic jsem nepogaclovala, nic se nedomahala, jenom jsem oznamila, co main na ruce.

Nepfika jsem do schrize, abych v neeem rozhoclovala a porcueela. Na to tam byli feditele. V protokol byla udelana chyba, ge jsem od Hlavni Utadovny pogadovala asi $100 na nejakou pisnieku.

Myslim, ge slova a piseri se budou bit kagdemu, a ge ji budeme vSichni radi zpivat. Bude to naAe SPJST melodie, podle ktere pozna, ka gcl3i, ge je to neco pro nas a pro nikoho jineho. Jsem rada, ge HlaVni rifadovna rozhodla, abych piseri SPJST hledela dostat. A tak to melo bYt napsane v protokolu, aby vkchni eleni yeah, co se stalo ye schtizi a co se odhlasovalo. Je to hodne neslUgne, kdyg se do protokolu napik neco jineho ne g co se y e schrizi stalo.

Pracuji pro dobro na'Si SPJST, pro dobro kagcleho elena v Jednote, a to vMchni vite. Nejsem placena za to, co delam, a dostavam jen malou nahradu na vyclani. Ale tkeba to nestaei, neukazuji ne.spokcjenost, ale pracuji pro dobro naM organisace a naige Ceske lidi. Ale nejsem spokojena, kdyt je nejaka nespravnost. Proto dnes, kdy g jsem prohligela zpateeni 'eisla Vestniku po svem navratu z Chicaga, zamrzely nine ty chyby, ktere byly v protokolu a ktere se tykaly mne. Nemusim se s nieim schovavat. Rada vypomaham s programy pro deti a mladeZ. Jestli mne pottebujete, jen mi napig te. Kdyg mne bude mogne, rada pfijedu do yak schtize. Vim, ge

jsme hodne zamekcali, ale nesmime dopustit, aby jini lide a fine zabavy nam pfebraly nak vlastni deti. To by naSe SPJST ztratila svoji budoucnost.

Toto vSecko pisi proto, ge vetim, aby nas protokol byl spra.vny. V Hlavni ai'adovne je rekordovaci p •istroj, tak nae ho tam maji, kdyg se potom chyby dostanou do protokolu? Je to velice drilegite, aby protokol byl pravdivY a aby se kdykoliv za nekolik rokii poznalo, co se ye schuzi udelalo a proe to bylo uclelane.

Strana Reports from Lodges, biographies, etc., intended for publication, must be in the hands of the Editor a week before the date of issue. Address all editorial matters to: Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston7, Tex.

S

BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LOJGE SPJST, TEMPLE, TEXAS

MUSINGS REFLECTING UPON THE HAPPENings of the week just passed, two items should be mentioned in this weekly column. Brother Chas. Navratil, director of District Two, lost his beloved wife and companion. Sister Hermina Navratil passed away on Friday, March 5th. At the time this is being written, I have no ether information except what Brother J. F. Chupick phoned to Director Skrabanek. Sister Navratil had been ill for quite a while. The funeral was on Sunday, March 7, in Temple.. It was the funeral of Sister Navratil which prevented the officers and directors of the Supreme Lodge to come to the banquet in Dallas.

• • THE OTHER ITEM OF INTEREST TO every SPJST organizer is the banquet which was given by the organizers of District Three to the organizers of District Five as a reward for the winning of the contest between the two districts. And it wasn't just an ordinary $1.50 luncheon. It was elaborate, luxurious, delicious, sumptious, wondrous banquet which would have cost at least from $7.50 to $10 a plate if some other fashionable eating place would prepare it, I am not going to use any more descriptive adjectives. I'll let others have their say about this banquet. But the Brothers and Sisters in District Three will long be remembered for this feast.

I don't know how District Five will ever be able to repay it.

• • I WAS HOPING THAT SOME • REporters who were at this banquet would write a true report of what had happened at the gathering of these two groups in Dallas, but so far the reports are not coming in as I expected.

But it should be given full publicity.

It may spur some other districts to additional activities. We need it, gosh, we need it. We need anything which would shake us a bit in our complacency.

• • WE NEED SOME MEMBERS IN EVERY district to take it upon themselves to bring before the members in the district meetings some suggestions. We are going to have meetings in all seven districts either this month or next month or this spring. The entertainment fea-

OF

THE EDITOR

tures are splendid things to have, because we give the talented people an opportunity. But we also need some business features to be improved. There shoucl be something constructive brought up at every oAe of the meetings.

• SOME OF. 0 U R SPJST MEMBERS may not even be aware of the fact that the district meetings are for everybody, not only for a selected few. Everybody is invited and welcome. There will be one district meeting next Sunday at East I3ernard. It is for those who are in District Six, but it will be a nice gesture if members from Fort Bend County or Austin County came to the meeting, even though they are not living in the area covered by District Six. But it is only a few miles to East Bernard, and the members would be glad to have you come. Try to be there .

• • DISTRICT T W 0 WILL HAVE ITS meeting on Sunday, March 28, at Holland. The district is planning to have an excellent program, both entertainment and business. In fact, there are two committees feverishly working on the two features, and the committees are composed of very capable workers. Those of you who can possible come to Holland, make a notation on your calendar to be reminded of it. You won't regret is. And if the editor can make the long trip from Houston to Holland, your distance is much shorter.

• • THE ORGANIZERS IN DISTRICT Seven are again reminded that an organizers' meeting will be held Sunday, March 21, in Floresville. It will start at nine and it • will wind up between three and three-thirty, with time for a luncheon. The organizers' meeting, as they had been held elsewhere in February, appeared to be very interesting and instructive. Please don't miss this one.

• • BROTHER MAREK MAILED TO ME a list of organizers in District Four which we are planning to contact between the 1st and 4th of April. There are ten local lodges in District Four and ten organizers. They need more encouragement than those who live in other districts Their territory is wide and scat-

tered. We have to work out some way of meeting with all of them, if not in groups then individually. Brother Marek will notify you of the details as soon as we decide on the best procedure.

• KINDLY KEEP IN MIND THE CONtest for the reporters. See to it that your Lodge has a regular reporter, or two if necessary, one Czech and one lEnglish. There is so much material which should be reported in the Vestnik. Your Lodge needs publicity. Here are some of the things which never get in the Vestnik unless your . reporter is on his toes: announcement of contest rules or contest winners; announcement of your program at the next meeting or any type of program; awards which your members received, be they children in school Cr adults in public life; annual reports to give to your members; benefit luncheons or suppers at the lodge hall; delegates going to the district meeting, and their reports when they made it at the meeting; donations of your Lodge to Red Cross, to Chuncil of Higher Education, to any worthy cause; election of officers or new committees; guests at your meeting or guests at the homes of the SPJST members in your community; initiation .cf new members; membership drive or campaign by your lodge or your local organizers; motherand-daughter program; preparation for Mother's Day; preparations for Easter program; the 50th, 75th, 100th, 200th new member just initiated. I bet your officers don't know how many members your Lodge has. Ask them and brag a bit about your Lodge, These and other topics furnish you plenty of materia2 to write about. Get in the Reporter's Contest. Ask other members to suggest what to write about.

MY SINCERE THANKS TO BROTHER Freund, of Lodge No. 54 in West, for the clippings from the Congressional Record regarding Thomas G. Masaryk made by three U. S. Senators and one representative in the Congress on M o nday, March 8, 1954.

Our Youth Movemen birdie 9-eils her Our year is slipping by so rapidly that it hardly seems possible that gusty March is here again; and with it, signs of spring and plans for our BALL GAMES, and our many other Youth Activities Projects worth working on in all our lodges. It is my sincerest wish that you will ALL have ball games this year so that our children of various lodges near-by could compete with one another and become better acquainted, and induce other children to join in with us. It may take a little effort on your behalf in getting them together, but think of the good. you will do for your lodge and the appreciation you will derive from the children and the fun you will have together. Besides having fun, you will bring about closer relationship and a wonderful feeling of having accomplished something worthwhile for your lodge as well as for the children and the whole organization as a whole. In bringing this about— for any Youth Director who loves children --is a feeling beyond any payment he could possibly ever receive. And it is the duty of every member to at least cooperate in their lodge activities.

Every lodge that works for the welfare of our children should be aided, and encouraged, and complimented. We have one objective in our Youth Programs—to aid in every manner possible any worthy group that is working to make our children into members, thus insuring us of a strong and great organization.

Plan and work out activities for your lodge, encourage members participation in your lodge work and assume their individual responsibilities as members, and clarify and discuss the somewhat uncertain matters, tasks and obligations for a better understanding and cooperation amongst members for the best interest of everyone and for a happy and successful future.

Our SPJST membership should feel proud and happy in having a uinque opportunity to influence our young people by actually bringing them into our lodges and in being able to govern the participation of our Youth in giving them every chance to plan and work

der around until their little clubs — when formed — fail.

Attend the meetings, counsel and advise theni, but let the children do the major part of the planning and work of their group. Wise counsel is the best help that can be given, especially if it is done quietly and with the idea of letting the children think they are doing their work by themselves. Self-reliance is a wonderful quality, but never can we permit our SPJST Youth to grow without guidance. In order to succeed, we will all have to cooperate in every lodge in bringing in the children and making them happy so that they will be able to take over some day.

I have some more excellent information which I want to pass on to you Youth Directors regarding the building of our Youth Movement which I have gathered from various sources while on my trip to Chicago. Attending various Youth Meetings, Youth Clubs, Libraries, Book Stores, Publishers, and consulting with a few Youth Counselors, I have a lot of good material and some fundamental information which I thought would be good for our Society, and which I am conveying to you in my letter coming out with the SPRING PROGRAM, and you may judge for yourself what would be most suitable for your lodge.

Some of this information may be just what you have been waiting for to interest your Youth Group in your lodge.

If you have not yet appointed a Youth Director in your lodge, please do so at your next meeting and turn your name into our President Brother Marek, so that you will be receiving all my material and information gathered for you and the children. It is most important! Please appoint someone who loves to work with children and let them appoint their own assistant or assistants to help and then get the children together and organize a Youth Club with officers and all. Be sure to take an active part in any program for the benefit of the children, whether it be ballgames, parties, outings, picnics, tours, singing, dancing, etc. It is quite an honor and a privilege of working and growing up with our youngsters and molding them into being good and faithful members.

My best luck to all of you in your SPRING PROGRAM projects — whatever they may be — and write to me if you have any questions or suggestions. am always interested in your plans and what you are doing for your own particular Youth Group.

with us toward goals that involve them and their future.

I am sure we have long felt that the Youth of our lodges do not begin to have enough opportunities to exercise their humane impulses, and have too often been called out of order, discouraged, and driven away. All of us speak—and sincerely so—of their idealism, their eagerness to pitch in and get things done regardless of obstacles. And yet, we are not doing nearly enough to take advantage of these qualities. It is therefore, dear brothers and sisters, for us to bring in our Youth and unite with them and together cooperate for a better and bigger SPJST. Organization, which they will someday inherit and will surely have a better opportunity to make faster and no doubt better progress than we have had. Especially so with their .higher institute of knowledge, and I sincerely believe it is the wish of every member—deep down in their hearts—that they do so; who will then be happy that they have not failed their forefathers in their endeavor to make this an organization they had someday hoped for.

They can certainly help us to attain and maintain a better organization as well as better homes, schools, and communities we seek. For they •ar part of them; they are responsible for them; and as adult members, and citizens, they will inherit them.

Let me thank you for the wonderful cooperation you are giving me, and the material and letters you are sending.

It is very appreciated and I promise to answer all of them as soon as I can.

It is your letters to me and the letters sent in the Vestnik concerning our Youth, and my love for childrens' welfare that keep me encouraged in this Youth Movement and does make me feel that all my work—for the best interest of our SPJST is not exactly all in vain, This means to me that some of you at least are aware of the prime importance of working with the Youth of LET'S ALL START PLAYING BALL! our lodges as well as other children. ) • 4, • C.

LETTERS FROM THE FIFTH DISTRICT Sunday, March 7, the organizers of District Five were treated to a winderful banquet of the LOSERS to the WINNERS. District Three:organizers offered everything from wonderfully fried chicken, veal chops, and barbecue to southern style possum a la rabbit. Boy, did we all eat! How can this expanding waistline of mine stay in trim shape with that kind of food to eat! From District Five present were as follows: Director and president of District Five, Brother J. M. Skrabanek and his better 1/2 ; Editor Stephen Valcik and his "boss"; vicepresident of District Five, Brother Frank Olexa, and his 51 %; treasurer of DisDallas Saturday night, and secretary of all hoped that the contest would be a and his 51 per cent; treasurer of District Five, Brother Alfred L. Hilsher Ernest J. Hanka, all who arrived in Dallas Saturday night, an dsecretary of District Five, Rudy J. Sefcik and his 55 per cent.

We all enjoyed ourselves very, very much, and, as all expressed themselves after the swell meal, one could see that al lhoped that the contest would be a step in the forward direction for our SPJST, as it certainly has proved what can be done with a will. Our thanks to you, of District Three for accepting the challenge of our director Skrabanek in Angleton, last year, as we all are pleased that the contest was so nicely carried on.

The banquet was a great success, and we certainly enjoyed the good natured ribbing of ALL by ALL. After all, as you said, you did get more members, while we got more insurance. We hope to meet you in another contest in the future, as was mentioned at the banquet. You are GREAT SPORTS!! Thanks again District Three!!

Fraternally yours for a BIGGER and BETTER SPJST, Rudy 3. Sefcik, secretary District Five ) • 4, • ( MEMBERS OF SPJST FRATERNAL INSURANCE Dallas, Texas Brothers and. Sisters: On March 7, 1954, at Lodge Pokrok Dallas No. 84 our Third District paid its respect and obligation to District Five who won the contest 'between the two districts in selling insurance.

First, I would like to say: they, District, Five, are wonderful sports, good 'clean neighbors, and fine fraternalists; they believe in fun, humor, and most of all sell more insurance for the SPJST. I write for myself and all the members

of District Three in thanking District Five and congratulating them for their hard work in winning the contest.

We hope that what has come to life will continue, not just between District Five and Three, but all Districts. It takes our organizers with the help of our members to make our SPJST bigger and better each day of the year.

I believe I can say to the organizers who were not at the banquet, should there be another contest, we will see more organizers present; by that I also mean there will be more insurance sold.

What better sport is there than a good clean contest? If you don't believe me, ask Bro. Skrabanek how he enjoyed his special DISH. I can not forget our Sisters of the Third District. They were wonderful, and without them I must say we would be lost. Their time and hard work made the banquet a great success. To try and name them all would be hard. So to each one of them, I say thanks from all of us 'officers of the Third District. We also send the same thanks to the Brothers, who gave their time and work to help make the afternoon a big success.

Once again comes time for our District meeting, which will be held on April 25, 1954, in West, Texas. Let's make this meeting the best of all. I beg all 21 lodges to be present, as we have lots of work to do. With each lodge on the roll call the meeting can be a success.

I think most of you members know that we have election of officers, which is very important. Bring your candidates, elect them and let's put them to work.

I know one , thing — we have plenty of good. material which uses good common horse sense. Let's get them in office and help them.

From our local Lodge No. 84 — we are in process of starting a softball club.

Bro. Ben David and Bro. Ben Jarma are in charge. All you SPJST members in Dallas interested, call these two Brothers. Let's have a good ball club which will represent SPJST Fraternal Insurance. I believe the age is 16 up. The ball club is also planning a benefit later in the year. If you need any information don't be afraid to call on Bro. David or Jarma.

Our regular meeting will be held on March 21, 1954, at 4 p. m. with a free lunch after the meeting.

Will end with this reminder: Attend your Lodge meeting March 21, 1954, at 4 p. m., and your District Three meeting April 25, 1954, at West, Texas.

Strana SINGING AND DANCING The n e w SPJST Youth project of Dancing and Singing lessons given FREE to all members that have joined in this Youth Club project — whether they are members or not — is progressing amazingly well, and will undoubtedly prove a success if continued as is. There are over a hundred children now registered and. more• coming in each Wenesday night. If you know of any more children who would like to take dancing and singing, ask them to be out at our SPJST Lodge 88, 1140 Robbie in Houston any Wednesday night by 7:00 p. m. and we shall be more than happy to accomodate them.

Our new project added to this is our BASEBALL and VOLLEYBALL games starting tomorrow (Saturday 9:30 a. m.) and every Saturday thereafter at Milroy Park, 12th and Yale, so all of you that like to play ball, come on out and join us in the fun. You are ALL welcome.

Many plans have been laid out for our children, and we sincerely hope they will receive great enjoyment and usefulness out of these projects. It is a wonderful character-builder for all of them as it gives them entertainment once a week — and believe me, they are looking forward to it each week — as well as companionship with other children, obedience, education, and the selfrespet for others, and many other good points. Parents are welcome to come and watch at any time. Next Wednesday we'll have a St. Patrick's party after the lessons for our youth.

V ESTN1K —

WEST, TEXAS

tary of District Five, Brother Rudy Sefcik.

Unanimously agreed upon, the decision was to plan outdoor activities for the District Five meeting of May 30th at Danbury --- Bro. Joe Skrabanek's ranch --- where everything that denotes fun can be found.

The regular District meeting of the above date will begin at 10:30 a. in. Dinner shall be served by all Lodges of District Five. As soon at the dinner is over, the various contests will begin as follows: 1. Baseball (softball) for boys two age brackets — one — ages 9 to 13 — the other 13 to 19 years.

2. Volleyball for girls — two age brackets — one ages 9 to 13 — 13 to 19 years.

These games are to contested in elimination basis.

1•A 3. Children under 9 years of age:— there will be various contests' for which no preparations are necessary such as 25 yard dash, a high jump, potato sack race, and such games to keep all youngsters busy and happy. Even swings will be there for tiny tots.

There will be cash awards which will be described to you after our next meeting. This is a preliminary outline for all District Five lodges to• get an idea as to the program of the day specified.

We were very sorry that Bro. Alois Vaja, Stefanik No. 142, Bro. Willis Haluska, Crosby, Tommy Lostak, Danbury and Brother Hrabina of Baytown, were absent from the meeting.

Brother Tommy Lostak asked for permision to be excused due to another meeting which had been planned prior to this one, but he sent word by Bro. Skrabanek that their Lodge will participate in the boys softball team in ages ranging from 9 to 13.

Bro. Alois Vaja was excused because of an accident in which the upper part of his eye was cut quite deeply and was very painful. All those present at the Planning Committee meeting, and Bro. John Starcala and Albert Bristik wish for you, Bro. Vaja, a very speedy recovery and sincerest wishes for the best of health.

Houston, Texas Dear Readers: We had no word from Bro. Haluska of Tuesday March 9th at 8:30 p. m. the Crosby and Bro. Hrabina of Baytown.

Wednesday, March 17, 1954 Here's hoping all Lodges in District Five respond to the May 30th activity.

Fraternally Yours, Amelia (V aja) Sturm ) • 40 ENNIS LODGE NO. 25 If the contest for reporters gets the results that are due such a project, then the readers of Vestnik have the prospect of good news coverage from their lodges.

The Vestnik is interesting, for its many new ideas always bring about a little thinking on one's own part.

The results of the recently held Sbor Mladeze elections are: Jeanette Nesuda, president.; Emil Martinek, vice-president; Frances Zapletal, secretary; Edwin Trojacek, treasurer. Jeanette is a junior in Ennis High School, a member of the school band, the art staff of the school annual Cicerone, t h e Future Homemakers of America and was one of the 14 members of her class named as candidates for the National Honor Society.

Emil is a 1952 graduate of EHS, a Future Farmer receiving five project honors, and has been active in the Sbor for quite some time. He writes to the Vestnik occasionally. I hope he will write more often. His father is our lodge treasurer. Frances attends St. John's School and is a sophomore. She was queen of the Optimist Carnival, representing the Sbor Mladeze. Also last year she was secretary of the club. Edwin attended St. John's and at present is working in Dallas. He is the fellow who can produce a lot of music on his accordion.

Just the kind of guy you want to keep things rolling. But if I have things right, no reporter, kids, no reporter!

The Mardi Gras dance on the 2nd was well atended with about 35 in costume.

Prizes were awarded to a pair representing regular king size Kools, mice, Spring four-leaf clover, pilgrims, and fairy.

Consolation prizes went to clowns, Spaniards, hillbillies, cotton picker and others. Eric Honza's Rhythm Makers played especially well.

Among those attending the Victory Dinner in Dallas on March 7 from Ennis were brothers and sisters George and Mildred Trojacek, Johnnie and Dolfie Hrabina, F. J. and Mildred Haskovec, Joe B. and Stacy Hejny, George and Otille Strunc, Alvin and Wilma Nesuda.

The affair was an enthusiastic gathering and everyone is hopeful that we can meet again. The sisters who so graciously served the tables deserve cut warmest thanks. We from Ennis wish to thank them and the members of the Pokrok Lodge for the use of their hall.

Strana IS in our honor by the gracious losers of District Three.

Editor Valcik and his wife invited us to ride with them to Dallas, which offer we gladly accepted. We started out Saturday afternoon. The weather was beautiful and the trip was comfortable and pleasant. Brother and Sister Skrabanek came by train, and also with them Brother Alfred Hilsher and Ernest J. Hanka. Then on Sunday morning, Brother Rudy Sefcik and his wife arrived by car. All of us met in Baker Hotel where Brother Sid Pokladnik with his charming wife came to greet us and show us the way to the Pokrok Dallas Hall. Of course, after exchanging the greetings, it didn't take any time to come to teasing one another. Then we proceeded to the hall where we were really surprised. It was as if we stepped into a beehive. More introductions and exchange of greetings, and more chaffing and teasing. What surprised me more than anything else were the bands of mourning on the sleeves of the organizers 'of District Three. They did not hide, those black bands, b u t rather proudly displayed them, But they constantly assured us that the shoe will be pinching the other foot some day.

The pleasant reception by the Brothers and Sisters of District Three cannot be described. Of course, we could not know if we did not fall in the lions' den; but very shortly we realized that no bodily harm was to be expected. They turned out to be real hosts.

The hall of the local lodge was very attractively arranged for the occasion.

The tables were placed in the "U" shape with signs "WINNERS" and "LOSERS" conspicuously displayed. A beautiful floral center piece was at the head of the table which was assigned to the officers of District Three. Everything was arranged to the tiniest detail just to make the occasion , more pleasing and memorable. It displayed the sincere effort of the organizers to come up to the full agremeent of the contest. It was very effective and deserves highest praise.

It was a royal banquet prepared by the Sisters of the local lodges. Aroma of good cooking permeated the atme.se phere. Shortly thereafter, Brother Ski Pokladnik, president of District Three requested that everyone take the place at the tables. Barely we took our seats, when Brother Pokladnik addressed Brother. Skrabanek: "Whatever we promised, we are going to fulfill to the letter." For a moment, we were puzzled, but net long. Imediately we saw what he meant.

Brother Skrabanek accepted this special treat, and-with zestful appreciation and high enjoyment he started to carve, and distribute this delicacy to the winners with such gestures that the losers were jealously sighing and eyeing this feast. Finally, he fraternally offered the bones to the losers. There was no ending to the laughing, joking, and teasing. My vocabulary has not enough words to describe all the foods on the tables, all the different pastries, cakes, pies, kolaches, and strudels. It would take some better writer to do justice to the picture of the tables.

After a prolonged period of feasting, Brother Pokladnik asked everyone to relax and he called on the organizers of District Three to express their feelings confidently and courageously, and not to pay attention that the organizers of District Five brought with them their legal adviser. This, of course, alluded to Brother Ernest J. Hanka, attorney and one of the organizers from District Five. Brother Pokladnik assured his orga,nizers that they would outnumber their opponents ten to one.

For two hours we feasted, listened to teasing remarks and jokes. But there were some serious remarks, too. We finally settled down to more serious matters relative to the organizational work in the SPJST, and to the future plans. Brother Pokladnik suggested that they would not be afraid to have another Contest. Brother Skrabanek challenged them again, but it was finally decided to postpone any challenge until the wit meeting of District Three which be held in West, April 25, 1954. i tAll in all, everybody who was present at this banquet must admit that the ,entlEe Sunday was spent very pleasant. addition, it was a new venture to;jsw on the organizers to better efforp. We do have seven districts. In each one of the districts there should be some .planning. This banquet proved that we can go much further, that we Can accomplish a great deal more, if we have a definite objective. What has been done in such a short time by these two districts is a demonstration what can be done with a bit of planning. Sisters and Brothers, plan your activities in your districts.

my neck out more than I should. I got acquainted with Brother George Strunc of Ennis. He admitted that he had not done his share, but promised that he will do better next time. So I threw a bait and he snapped at it. "Neither had I done my share. Suppose we challenge one another. If you write more insurance between now and May 31, I'll treat you and your wift to a' good steak. If I write more, then you will buy me and my husband a juicy steak." He accepted.'

And we do have witnesses—Brother and you and your wife to a good steak. If Sister Pokladnik of Dallas. The challenge was confirmed by a brotherly handshake.

In conclusion, I must thank the organizers of the District Three for the delicious and luxurious banquet. We hope that in the near future we may be able to repay you this remarkable hospitality. Your sumptous entertainment will be long remembered.

Fraternally, Frances Olexa ) • 4 ATTENTION Asa MEMBERS! (A Little Correction in the Minutes Of Supreme Lodge Meetings) I would like to call your attention to the part of the minutes concerning myself. Had I been given the courtesy of being sent these minutes for correction as others were — due to the fact that I've been at most of the. meetings and had asked our Secretary personally for a copy and was promised one, but never received any I would not have to make the correction AFTER it came out in the Vestnik. Sorry, but I feel the membership should have the minutes as they should have been taken I down in the first place.

In the special Supreme Lodge Meeting Minutes issued in our Vestnik on February 17, 1954, our secretary states that I have nominated my husband for the appointment of Vice-President; whereas, he should have stated that after Brother Marek, our President, read out the names of candidates already turned in, something was said of each one's capability except my husband's It was quite natural for Brother Marek to ask me to get up and say a few wards in my husband's behalf if he were interested in the office. Those few words were NOT that I nominated him for the appointment as there were no nominees mentioned at all — only the candidates. I am sure the Board Members will recall this. This I would like the membership to know as it was, so tliat there would be no misunderstanding.

Personally, you had a lot of good qualified men, and I am happy to see our

Wednesday, March 17, 1954 new Vice-President, Brother John Kubena get this appointment for he will make tis a good man. How can statements be made otherwise, when they didn't even happen? And WHY? In the previous "First Quarterly Meeting of the Supreme Lodge" which I attended, it was stated in our Vestnik, Feb. 3, 1954, in a report of the minutes that I REQUESTED that the Supreme Lodge pay for the composition and copyrighting of a certain song composed just for the SPJST of about $100. and that upon my request for payment for this song a motion was made and carried, and allowed.

There was NO request or demand made by me, and it was not for a certain song, but for one very important to all of us — young and old — and that is cur own "Fraternity" Song for our SPJST throughout the State; one that was written and composed just for us to call our own if we wished it so. There was NO request or demand for payment of this song made — only a statement of the approximate cost of the song itself if they wished to accept it; and that as Youth Counselor, I would very much recommend a "Fraternity Song" for our SPJST as several of the Fraternal Societies already have theirs, and it is so outstanding. It was merely presented and passed on to the board as a suggestion, sung to them, and the sketched music copy passed around so all could see and decide on as they wished to do as they pleased. But I DID NOT REQUEST them to cla anything. , That was for them to decide — not me.

Who am I to tell the Board of Directors what to do?

It will mean a lot to have a Fraternity Song of your ,organization, and if it's sung always and everywhere, it will become a favorite of everyone. Soon they will know the SPJST and recognize us just by hearing our song. For this reason, I was happy for all of us concerned, that it was passed on, (and you shall be happy with it when you shall hear it and learn it), for the good of our future. I am looking out for us in just that way — us and our Youth for the future, but I do not appreciate the ill manner in which the statement was presented to you in the minutes. I have always worked for the best interest of our organization. in more ways than one — and only for the good of every member concerned — you know that. I am not being paid for doing this work for you (besides the little I am' allowed for expenses here and there which doesn't even cover it), but I am not one to complain and keep on working for the best interest of our' ar-

Wednesday, March 17, 1954 ganiza.tion and our Czech people, but I will not tolerate anything but righteousness. That is why today upon returning -from my trip — reading my back Vestniks I am making these corrections for all of you to know. I have nothing to hide and am very proud and happy that I can in some little way be able -to help you, and all of us, with your Youth problems. Should you need me at any time, just let me know and I shall be happy to come to your lodge and help you work out something with your Youth. I know it will be a hard struggle, but it can be done if we try, but if we don't do it — other fraternalists will win over our children and we won't have anyone to carry on for us. So, you see, it is now or never, and I mean it with all sincerity. This is net only our problem, but a lot of other fraternalists have the same trouble.

I do therefore, strongly believe that our minutes should be all taken on our recorder — what do we have it for anyway? -- &O• that they can be written as they happen, and no guess work about it.

These minutes, in case some of us do not realize, are VERY important to us at all times when they have to be referred to in the future, and should be definite and VERY accurate.

meeting and program of February 7th meeting. President Bro. Alois Vaja requested the secretary to record in red ink a special write-up of the initiation of new members with the drill team and names of each one who participated in the program in the book of minutes so that the future generation of Stefanik would know that ours was the first initiating team of the organization.

Reports of financial secretary and treasurer came next. To you, Stefanik members, who have taken advantage of the premium payment deadline arid are still delinquent on your dues I must say this: As financial secretary, I implore you to please pay your dues up to date or the auditing committee is going to suspend you without any more fanfare —If illness is your alibi please notify me, so I can report your case and we shall help you. Our Lodge must put an end to lagging dues. Our "Emergency Fund" goes up and down like a see-saw and it's time to balance it. The majority of active workers at our Lodge are eager in our future plans for our Lodge, but they cannot be brought forth until this fund is brought to normal. Then we can continue from there.

Stefanik Lodge wishes for you, fraternal Sister a speedy recovery to even better health than you had in the past: Also a speedy recovery wish goes to Sister Anna Kovar who has had the flu. We missed you at the meeting and certainly hope this report finds you well.

There was no continuance of old business. The new business presented was: what I already told in the board of directors paragraph; two problems or suggestions to be presented at the District Five meeting on Sunday May 30th by cur Lodge representatives. (By the way, do any of you other lodges in District Five have worked out some interesting topic for the District meeting? Something interesting that will last about 2 or 3 minutes) Come, on now, fraternalists, let's make this an unforgettable as well as interesting meeting with good results.

On conclusion of the meeting president Alois Vaja gave a short encouragement speech for more open meetings.

Quoting Bro. Vaja: "Why shouldn't we have more get-together meetings with non-members? Ours is an organization that has nothing to hide. We believe in the equality of mankind. We are chartered and abide by all Texas laws. We love our country and cur flag and work for prosperity of our fellow-man as well as insure his future. Then let us share our gift of brotherhood with others and encourage them to co-operate with us.

In my opinion, this short speech had something'real and special in its meaning. For some reason or other as I sat and listened to Bro. Vaja's voice two great men's names flashed through my mind: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Why? I don't know! Perhaps because like the two heroes of history, our Stefanik president was try t -ingtoawkelfusmorcet kinder truthful and lasting fraternal life.

The meeting was adjourned ail o'clock with all thirty attending Merii, tang bers singing "Prijde jaro" as a song. This meeting was conducte Czech; as all present understood the language.

After the meeting we played bingo for a while The proceeds of the game were given to Sister Marie Kunetka as a "Get Well Gift."

Health Policies Are Often Misleading Many of our members are pointing out that the SPJST should have health insurance, somewhat on the same order as are many of the commercial health policies.

The average citizen who tries to buy health insurance to protect himself and his family against serious and catastrophic illness should know of the deficiencies that exist in most health insurance policies new being sold to our people.

The Washington Daily News recently published several articles about the health policies. Those articles are very important and highly significant. It is impassible to reprint the entire series of the articles, but you get the high spot in the summary which follows.

—and most of them have dangerously wrong ideas about what they are purchasing.

Too often they assume that— The longer they pay on their policies without getting sick, the more "right" they have to expect the insurance corn/ pany to be generous when they do go to the hospital.

The policies they hold will protect them against long, serious illness.

The truth is: The amount you may have paid yoqr health and accident insurance company over the past 5 or 10 years has little to do with what that company owes you, legally, when you become ill.

I received $81 and a notice of people; and if your health fails, you cancellation of my wife's half of the policies." may lose your insurance.

Cases like these led A. J. Hayes, presThese articles further make clear— with examples from policies and bro- ident of the AFL International Associachures, plus ample testimony from ex- tion of Machinists, to tell the House Inperts and unknowing buyers—that how terstate Commerce Committee: "The tragic side of the story lies in the layman interprets his insurance policy and how the company interprets it the vast difference between the glowoften are two widely different matters. ing advertisements and the glib sales Some 23,000,000 Americans today are patter used to sell such policies, and the buying individual health insurance from stark realities of their shortcomings among the 800 companies in that field when it's time for medical need."

Mr. Hayes' interest in health insurance was stimulated from what he learned in 1952 as a member of President Truman's Commission on the •ation's Health Needs.

When Machinist E. M. Richers, of Altoona, Pa., wrote recently that an insurance company dropped him after he developed a lung ulcer, his union's weekly newspaper published the letter and invited comment.

At last count, more than 50 testimonials in reverse had come in.

From Clinton, Iowa: "I took out a policy on myself and family with the 1) company. Last year, I found I had diabetes. The doctor put me in the hospital for 12 days.

"This was the first time I had ever made a claim with any insurance company, and I sure was surprised how fast they dropped me."

This man sent along the letter which the company had written him. It read: "You will find stated on your policy lin large type that it is renewable at the option of the company only. We reserve the right to refuse to accept a premium payment on any date that a premium is due.

"We can't tell you exactly why we no longer can insure you."

From Renton,Wash.: "I am enclosing a letter I received from my insurance company after 18 days of hospitalization for a heart attack. The State commissioner of in/ surance said it was legal and a normal I practice."

The company's letter "regretted" that the policy no longer could be continued.

In the 50-cdd letters received to date by the Machinists Union, 27 companies are named.

Machinist President Hayes testified to the House committee that as a result of these letters, he wrote to 'one of the leading underwriters of individual health insurance," asking the firm's views.

He read to the Congressmen the reply he received from the Bankers -Life and Casualty Co. of Chicago (issue&I';of the White Cross policy). Its gist,: "Premiums must be kept withi4 the budgets of large numbers of pe6-016. . . for health insurance, you must be associated with healthy people, not sick ones.

"If your health is below par, or becomes below par, you cannot expect to continue indefinitely in the group.

"Furthermore, when the time arrives that you meet with an accident or your health fails, you must be prepared to

Strana accept benefits, not based entirely on your needs, but . . . limited by an amount which bears a reasonable relation to the amount of your current contributions."

As the letter explained it, your payments of former years had been used up already and had little to do with your current needs.

After reading this, reporter went to two insurance men here.

Each represents a company of good reputation.

I asked if the Bankers Life statement represented the attitude of the industry generally.

They answered yes—with qualifications.

"Some companies," one of them said, "will let you keep your policy when you develop a serious illness if you will agree to pay higher rates, to match the risk."

Some companies, too, will let you hold on to your policy if you will agree not to make any further claims based on that particular illness.

The second agent pointed out that there is such a thing , as "non-cancellable, guaranteed renewable" health and occident insurance.

Under such a plan, the ccmpany cannot drop you until you reach a stipulated age (usually 55 or 60). But such pol icies cost much more than the average health insurance. Less than 10 percent of all the health policies written are "guaranteed renewable."

"Now let me ask another question," I said. "Assume I had a hospitalization poicy of one of your companies for 10 years. It's not a guaranteed renewable policy.

"Now assume that I have some pains.

I go to the hospital for an exploratory operation. It turns out I have cancer and that I'm in for a long seige of illness. Would your company drop my policy as soon as it could?"

The first agent said: "That's right."

The second one added: "No doubt q/binit it."

If you have a health policy sold to y3ti by an insurance company, get it out and; ,take a long look at it.

Yo !re very likely to find, somewhere on the policy (and probably in big print) a phrase beginning something like thsi: "This policy may be cancelled at any time by the company," or "this policy is renewable at the option of the company."

So far, there hasn't been too much attention paid to the fact that most people don't understand the legal meanings of everyday words in their policies.

Fur instance, do you have insurance, which promises payments for "acciden-t

VESTNI E. —. SVE2T,

tal bodily injury"? Fine. That means, prospective buyers, is something else legally, about what you think. again.

But perhaps your policy will pay "for bodily injury sustained through accidental means." Many are worded that way.

Watch out for that. The courts have held that you aren't injured through accidental means when you hurt your-, self while doing something you intended to do—like swinging a golf club, moving a desk, for painting a house.

Does your insurance offer weekly or monthly payments for disability?

How does it define "total disability"?

Is the wording: "Inability to engage in your own occupation"?

(0. K. Then, if you're a draftsman and become unable to draft, you'll probably get the money.) `.`Inability to engage in any gainful occupation"?

(Not so good. If you can earn a reasonable income anywhere, you aren't likely to get any payments.)

"Inability to engage in any occupation or employment for wage or profit"?

(Definitely not good—the most restrictive wording of the three.)

A popular type of health insurance is that which offers monthly payments in case you become disabled; impressive lump sums of cash if you are blinded or lose limbs because of accidents or sickness.

Read that policy carefully. In most cases, when the company pays the big lump sum, it can cancel the policy. A $1,000 lump-sum offer looks pretty impressive (and usually is printed in big type) when you read it in the policy— but by itself it won't go far if you lose your sight or your limbs.

Or our policy may have words that make it appear that both the monthly benefits and the lump sum will be paid.

In that case, watch for the word "aggregate."

Let's say the biggest lump-sum payment in your policy is $1,000.

And let's say that the policy provides also for $100 a month payments, "not to exceed a year," if you become disabled.

You'd probably assume, then, that if you .1(st both hands, you would receive the $1,000 lump sum, plus $1,200 $100 a month for 12 months).

But if your policy also says somewhere that the aggregate benefits cannot exceed $1,100., that's all you're going to get.

These are but a few pitfalls in many of today's health insurance policies.

What some companies say in printed pamphlets, or what their agents tell

James P. O'Brien, head of the Justice Department's fraud unit, gave the Senate Judiciary Committee an extreme example of just how far apart a firm's literature and its written policies can be.

He cited the case of the Arcadia National Insurance Co. Mr. O'Brien pointed out the company's head and an agent had been convicted of fraud by a Federal court in Illinois for grossly misrepresenting the company's sickness and accident policies in advertisements in magazines, almanacs, letters, and other types of publications.

He read the court's opinion, which said in part: "It was repeatedly stated (by the company in its literature) that the company would pay $25 a week and $100 a month for sickness and accident.

"Yet under the policy terms, this payment was conditioned on the occurrence of certain specified accidents and illnesses.

"It was repeated without reservation that there were benefits of $5,000 to $8,000 for accidental death.

"Yet these were payable actually only if the policyholder was injured while riding in a public carrier (such as a street car) and only if the policy had been in force 5 years."

Arcadia also advertised a $100 emergency cash benefit. Actually, the court found, this referred to what the compa ny would spend— if necessary—to notify a stricken policyhelder's friends and relatives that he was sick or hurt.

"Obviously," said the court, "such an expenditure would very rarely, if ever, be necessary."

Another witness for the Senate group was Melvin P. Goldsmith, post-office inspector in Chicago, who for more than 11 years has had the duty of investigating possible mail fraud cases.

It was he who said the health insurance business was like a child running wild without much control.

There is no proper regulation of that business, Mr. Goldsmith told the Senators.

He said the people are being deceived and not being protected.

For example, he said, he was powerless to stop practices like this: A company widely advertised that it gave top pmtection at low rates which were good for the life if the policy.

People- complained to the post office that they paid the advertised low rates (Continued on page 23.)

Anniversary of Birth of Masaryk On Monday, March 8, 1954, the 104th anniversary of the birth of Thomas G. Ma,saryk was remembered in the chambers of Congress of the United States.

Through the courtesy and thoughtfulness of Brother Hugo Freund, the following clippings from the Congressional Record were sent to the editor to be placed in the columns of the Vestnik.

Thomas Masaryk and Czechoslovakia EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. JOHN W. MeCOR.MACK Of Massachusetts In the House of Representatives Monday, March 8, 1954 Mr. IVIcCORMACK. Mr. Speaker, two sister Slavic peoples, the Czechs and the Slovaks, have lived in Central Europe for at least 1,500 years. The geographic position of the country, at the historic crossroads between East and West, is the key to the long and often tragic history of the Czechoslovaks. We know that early in their history the country flourished, and the zenith of its greatness and glory was reached in the 14th Century.

From then on, however, the history of Czechoslovaks has been very uneven.

During most of that time their country has been dominated by foreign powers, governed by alien rulers and they have suffered endless injustices and iniquities.

Alien overlords have done everything in their power to extinguish all traces of Czechoslovak national lofe, but these agents of tyranny could not eradicate the Czechoslovak national life, but these pendence and freedom.

Toward the end of World War I when the days of oppressive monarchies were numbered in that part of the world, the Czechoslovaks were fortunate in having as their spokesman and leader the great philosopher-statesman, Thomas G. Masaryk. It was through his relentless efforts that the Czechoslovak National Council secured recognition from the Allies, later proclaimed Czechoslovak independence, and then laid the foundations of the new state. For more than two decades Masaryk and his devoted disciple, Eduard Benes, guided the destiny c f Czechoslovakia. During its early years the young Republic came through its teething troubles more quickly and successfully than any other state in central and southeastern Europe, and a few years later earned for itself the title of model democracy.

Savojana. Jean Valjean v gak nepohli'Zel do ohne, nemohl tedy penize videti. Ptechazel stale velkYmi kroky po pokoji.

Nahle padl zrak jeho na svicny.

"Hle," zvolal temet hlasite, "v tech je celY Jean Valjean. I ty je nutno znieiti."

Vzal .svicny do rukou, rozhrabal: trochu oheri a vrhl je do krbu, aby se roztavily.

V torn okamZiku se mu zdalo, jako by slySel hias v nitru due volajici: "Jeane Valjeane! Jeane Valjeane!"

Vlasy se mu jeiily na hlave, slyael hrozne yea "Ano," mluvil hlas, "dokonej to, co jsi zaeal, znie ty svicny, zapomeri na biskupa, zapomeri na vSe! Znie toho Champmathieua! To je docela v potadku! TeS se!

Pot tinul se mu s eela. VytteStil zrak na svieky a poslouchal, co hlas dale povida: "VLichni ti budou Zehnati, jen jedna bytost, jiZto nebude nikdo slyseti, to prokine a vet mi, vAecko to polehnani nepronikne k. Bohu, jen kletby."

Zdalo se nut, te posledni slova tak ztetelne, Ze se vydaene rozhledl pokojem.

"Je zde _nekdo? ' tazal se hlasite , a temet beze smyslu.

Pak se zasmal, tka; "Jak Jsem blahovY! Kdo by zde mohl bYti!" By/ tam piece nekdo, lee toho lidske oko nemohlo shlednouti.— — Svedomi.

Vytahl svicny z ohne, postavil je zase na krb a zase ptechazel po pokoji teikYrni kroky, ktere se v noenim tichu pochmurne rozlehaly.

Tato ppachazka mu trOchu uleheila a zaroveri jej omamovala. Po nekolika okamZicich zase jiZ nevedel, na eem je.

Kdyby statena jej v tomto okamtiku byla mohla videti, byla by se ho zdesila.

"Co povidaS, ptiteli?" zvolal.

"Je zazrak, te se kolo jeSte neroziitlo.

Opravdu, kolo bylo velice prorouchano.
