NASE MORALNI ZAVAZKY

A8 REDAKTOR ma obeas dobre napady. Povzbudi a pobidne ty pohodlne, k nimt i ja nale/im. V jednom z neclavn9ch eisel Vestniku nabada, aby Atednici a elenove Hlavni Aradovny podavali svoje nahledy a dobrozdani k uva./eni.

UCinim v tomto kratkem pojednani oboji: nee° ze Zivota zaslou/ileho bratra Rudolfa 81akanskeho; a namet k premV gleni: knihovna, archiv a museum v nagi SPJST budove v Temple.

Zaanu z konce, od posledniho bodumuseum. Mame peknou, dirkladnou budovu, gest poschodi a "basement"—podzemni patro, jak slovnik pravi. Koupili jSme tu budovu nejen pro prinageni zisku z nageho vkladu, anebo pro lep gi umisteni nagich firadoven, kde by se lepe a pohodlneji pracovalo, ale zajiste i jako dilkaz mohutnosti Jednoty a zdarnST 34sledek snah jejich zakladatela a nasledovniku. Jsme pravem hrdi na na g domov v Temple, a /e jsme nejsilnejk slo2kou poetem i finanene mezi pristehovaleckSrmi skupinami eeskeho piivodu v Texasu. Mnoho tisic dolarg jsme DI venovali, abychom dokazali, 2e nejsme pouze nejakou pojigt'ujici spoleenosti na 2ivot, ale zale/i nam take na moralnim povzneseni nagich elent, na udr/eni 'Ceske 'fedi dokud mo/no. Nebylo by misto v ternplovske budove pro pamatne veci po prvnich deskVch pristehovalcich, pro umelecke vSirobky a podobne?

Archiv vlastne ji/ mame, pro Jednotu.

Jsou uschovany listiny od zalo/eni do nynejk doby, vge tSrkajici se einnosti, certifikaty, vyplacene pojistky, rekordy ptjeek, zalo/eni radii, protokoly sjezdti. Pottebujerne v gak vice. Vnuci nagi a pravnuci budou chtit vedet o jejich pfrvodu, a je na nas, ponechati historicke dokla-

TJpkimne gratuluji redaktoru Chmeliekovi k piimo genialnimu uspotadani latky, k nesmirnemu pamateenimu obsahu a ku vzorne graficke uprave slavnostniho eisla. Bratr Chmelieek ukazal nam, druhYm redaktortm bratrskYch organu, co ph spoleene snaze hlavnich atednika, vedoucich mistnich pracovniki, pod rukou schopneho redaktora ize z bratrskeho organu vytvokW. Je to opravdu piekvapujici zjev v deskoamericke turnalistice.

Kdosi tekl, ze kdyt nas nekdo jinY napodobuje, je to take komplimentern. A kdy najdu sval elanek, uvefejnenY ye Vestniku loni v kvetnu, otiStenY v jinem bratrskem listu v prosinci, a znovu otiatenY v druhem organu v fmoru, je to svedectvim, ze kdosi jinY, krome nagich elena, ete nag Vestnik. Toto je feeeno jen mezi narni v eeStine. , soukrome, jen rozhovor u domaciho stolu.

Bratr gnapka popisoval v minulem jak samapomohl jednomu krajanu k doSateln obtanskeho listu, pry jen otazkami, ktere byly uvefejneny ye Vestniku.

Vypravel mi jeden Glen minuleho tYdne, to St'astne proSel zkouSku. Vysvetloval mi, to si vSechny ctazky, ktere byly uvefejneny ve Vestniku, vystfihnul a nalepil do sveho seSitu takovYm zpasobem, to si nechal dosti mista mezi jednotlivYmi otazkami pro sve vlastni odpovedi.

MUSINGS Or THE EDITOR IN ONE OF THE MEETINGS FOR THE organizers a question was raised about the benefits under the Social Security system. It was pointed out by one of the listeners that there is no need to provide any extensive old-age income since the Federal Government and the State of Texas offer benefits to old people. * * IT IS A VERY MISLEADING ASSUMption that the Social Security benefits give the maximum amount in every case Even if it were so in every case, it it well to know what the maximum benefit would be if translated into everyday needs. The Social Security program benefits are design to provide only bare existence income. It gives only the foundation upon which men and women can build for themselves and their loved ones a secure financial future, if they are willing to supplement the ,benefits with plans of their own. * * ONE OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES of our old-age and survivors system is the protection of survivors when a working father dies. All of us have known bereaved families who received the pmtection furnished one the death of the most important part of our social security law. But we know mothers left with young children who learned—often to their surprise—that they were entitled to a regular social security benefits while the children were not of age. We know elderly widows who, on their husbands' death, became entitled to their own "widows' benefit" under social security for the same reason. We are all proud of the fact that our social security system has for some time been more protective in this respect than are many other public or private retirement plans. * BUT WE MUST NOT OVERLOOK certain weaknesses in this survivor's • program. Under the existing system, the widow of a retired worker is not eligible for a widow's benefit until she has has reached her 65th birthday, unless she is caring for his minor children. And this is true in spite of the fact that there is a difference of about 2 1/2 years between the ages of husband and wife, on the average.

IT FOLLOWS THAT, EVEN HER HUSband may, at the time of his death, have been over age 65 and receiving a retirement benefit of his own, that benefit is stopped at the time of the widow's bereavement unless she has also reached the age of 65. In too many cases, therefore, the widow is denied a benefit at the time she most needs one—at the death of her husband. In too many cases, she has to be told that she must wait until she herself reaches age 65 before she can receive the social-security benefit which was designed to protect her against this very exigency. * * WE SHOULD BEAR IN MIND THAT it is practically impossible for a widowed woman to obtain employment after age 50, even if she is able to work. Many widows, of course, have spent their lives making a home and raising a family and so have not had the opportunity to acquire technical or other skills which are required to hold a job today. Seven those women who had worked before marriage, and who have wanted to return to a job after the death of their husbands, are finding that production processes or sales methods have changed so much that it is very difficult to find employment. * * YOUR PENSION FROM SOCIAL SEcurity, under the present setup, may not be enough to live coinfortably in old age. I know of a case of a lady 65 years old, who lost her husband some six years ago and who recently applied for the monthly pension. Mind you that she had to do without any pension until she reached the age .cf 65. Her husband, while living, was not "fully covered", that is he did not have forty qUarters to his credit. Forty quarters means ten years of employment in an occupation where the employer and the employee pay alike. The widow had not received any income until she was 65, and now she is receiving only the bare minimum.

How she can pay her rent, her other bills, how she can meet her living expenses, that is hard to understand. * * THE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS should be combined with some additional income after man reaches the retire-

ment age. That additional income may be what man gets from his savings—in-terest, dividends, retirement income from life, insurance. But millions of men and women with moderate salaries and wages do not have any savings unless they save through life insurance.

And $10 or $20 of additional income a month in the bracket. under $50 a men th of income means far more than $10 or $20 extra for a person who has a steady monthly, income between $50 and $100.

It, is much harder to miss a few dollars, when your income is only $50 a month, or less that it is when your income is $100 or less.

• • YOUR FAMILY, IN THE EVENT OF your death, will get some benefits. Your wife, immediately upon your death, will be entitled to a lump-sum benefit. This payment is three times the amount of what your monthly pension would be as a retired worker. If you are getting $300 a month, and you have been employed regularly at that salary or wages, your: widow would now get $255.00 in lum psum settlement. And after she gets to be 65, she would be entitled to thre-fourths of your payment pension, whiCh would be $63.80. But she may be forced to wait several years without income until she. reaches the age of 65. * * EVEN IF THE HUSBAND GETS THE maximum of $85 a month when he reaches' 65, his wife may be four or five years younger. She must wait several, years before she gets her $42.50 a month' Here is where your rate book should be studied in order to see how little insur-: ante it takes to provide an income equal to what the wife is to get later. ) • 4, The village banker came back from lunch and looked at his desk.

Our Youth Movemen 6:By birdie Washer Just as the buds are budding, and the flowers are blooming, I too am bursting—not with buds 'or blooms, but with thoughts and ideas for our Youth— which if I had time could write a book about, but instead today I will convey to you a little of the letter which I sent to all our Youth Directors or Secretaries in all lodges with my SPRING Program so that all of you may read for yourself and when explained to you by them, it will be well in your mind and you will be able to come .to a quicker resolution amongst yourselves.

I am indeed happy to say that in this Program, I have included a copy of the original Beseda as it was written in Czechoslovakia, and which today— no doubt is quite valuable—if it could be gotten. This was copied from an old relic which Was so completely in pieces, that it was a 2-day job patching it together before it was readable to be played. The words are also included, as well as the instructions—all in Czech, of course. Very beauaiful. I would like to state here, that if you do not have a pianist, I will be very glad to cut some records for you to practice by which would be very good for ALL children to retain the knowledge of our Czech culture, and same too—very soon—shall be translated in English and sent to you to introduce to all our American-speaking children so that they would have a better understanding of our Czech culture and make them feel proud of it as we are. The reason they shy away from it is simply because it is in Czech and they don't understand it and think it old-fashioned and don't care about it, but once if it was explained to them and translated--I am sure they would feel very proud of our Czech Beseda.

Beside the Beseda, I have enclosed in my Program to you all new material additional to your last years Program, and each time I will add more—with new ideas and suggestions. Be sure to save ycur Programs for future references. Some of the many ideas and suggestions included in the program will be in the next issue of the Vestnik, so watch for them. Here is the letter written to the Youth Directors:

Dear Youth Directors: Enclosed you will find the SPRING PROGRAM for your enjoyment for the months of April, May, and June in which you will find a large variety of material for your use. Be sure to use it and put it to work, so we can get our Youth rolling in all our lodges.

Throughout my entire program, I have made suggestions and conveyed ideas to you that were passed on to ine which were very successful, and which I am now giving to you so you too may progress. Your contribution of good material towards these programs will be appreciated is it is getting very hard to find, so please mail me anything you have found good for our lodges to use or bring them to me when we meet at our District Meetings. I ;trust that we, the Youth Directors, will again have a short meeting together in each of our District Meetings—to get better acouainted, to see how we are progressing and to learn more from one another by discussing our problems together. I am looking forward to meeting all of you again.

Be sure to have an Easter Egg Hunt and Party for the children in April, a Melther's Day program and Party in May, and a Father's Day Program and Party for June. It is almost a must in every lodge, and if it isn't, it should be. Let's have a nice one this year.

Start your ballgames rolling and get your teams organized and play your neighboring lodges. Children will love it and it will mean great fun for all of you. Uniforms,' so they would be all alike over the state, are: Blue jeans, (short or long) white shirts, red SPJST lettering across the back of the shirts with red hanky in pocket, and either white tennis or dark--optional. Caps are in red with the number of your lodge, in white, in front. Let the boys and girls each have a baseball team or a cAtmbination---:whatever you can get together. Girls can also have a volleyball team and both boys and girls can play tennis.

Plan picnics, different parties, hunts, swimming, contests, games, flying kites, Youth Benefit Dances, Youth choral singing, drills, marches, games with or

Wednesday, March 24, 1954 without music for all youth, a nursery class is fun, learn to dance the various dances of other nations. (Enclosed is our Beseda—it is most important that we teach it to our Youth and retain our Czech culture), teach children the different Czech folk songs, have hay rides, hikes; and soon too, I shall introduce to you this new Project og giving lessons in dancing and voice (singing) which I will mean a lot of new blood and activity at your lodges on its' own merit. (Am still testing it), but will soon be able to release it, I hope.

Soon too, you will receive your Youth By-Laws from the Supreme Lodge, and soon too, you will be notified as to what our Youth will be called. Soon boo, you will be able to get our Fraternity Song.

For more material concerning your SPRING PROGRAMING, kindly refer to your past issues, as only new material will be added each time. Programs are the property of our SPJST and are to be used only for their sole purposes, unless written permission is granted by Supreme Lodge President.

Here's lots of luck to you and all the Youth.

From, Birdie Hilsher, Your State Youth Counselor P. S.: Balance of the discussion of the program will follow.

ROBERT HILSHER We had to wait for the engraving of Robert .Hilsher, a member of Pokrok Houston Lodge No. 88, and the winner of the second award in District Five., Robert, age 10, the son of Alfred and Birdie Hilsher, was one of the five contestants for the "Essay Contest" in District Five. He was awarded the second place, and the prize was $20 in cash.

The time for delivery of the three prizes in District Three has not been announced as yet.

We are pleased to publish Robert's picture and his essay which, reads well for this ten-year old contestant.

WHY. I LIKE THE S. P. J. S. T. I am proud to be a member of the S. P. J. S. T. Lodge. I do not care to go there too often now, because the children don't have many activities at present. We did have baseball games, but now in wintertime we don't have them any more.

I wish that every Lodge had baseball and volleyball teams so we could compete with each other and meet other children from other Lodges. I wish more parents would take interest in us help us start more activities. We all like to play and also help cur parents in the Lodge if they let us. And maybe more of us would come out to the Lodge if we had something to do.

As the reader's can see, Robert's essay is not very long, but it - is really good

My last information concerning Sister Marie Kunetka was: that she was doing well and would soon return home. She haS been staying with daughter, Evelyn Kroulik.

Bro. and Sis. Ed 'Sklar entertained their son and daughter with a barbecue dinner and supper. last Sunday.

Their son who is an Air Force man came back from Japan recently to California, his home. Now is visiting his parents in Houston.

Our deepest sympathy goes to Bro. William Petrzelka Sr, his family and Sister Emily Svec and her family. The loss of their mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Sister Marie Petrzelka on March 9th, 1954 was a • heart rending experience. As a charter member of Lodge Stefanik No. 142, Sister Marie was one of our most beloved "Babieltas" and may she rest peacefully in eternal sleep.

Gee! this weather is flat disgusting!

I just keep hoping it will decide to be pretty for our District Five Meeting on Sunday May 30th. All of our teenage ball players are anxious for the day to arrive, too, as they are all interested in outdoor activities.

Stefanik Lodge No. 142 will enter a volley ball team-gage bracket 13 to 19 and softball for boys the same age. I am working on two teams, one of each for nine to thirteen ages now. I hope to have them' accumulated by next week.

I promised Brothers Blinka and Franek of Needville to put the volleyball rules for professional playing in this re. port so here goes as follows: The Game of Volleyball The game of volleyball is played by two teams of six players each. Each team occupying half of a playing court, each team tries to hit the ball over the net so that the opposing team will fail to legally return it.

Method of Scoring The serving side scores one point whenever it wins the point or the receiving side fouls.

Do not step over the back line.

Play close to the net.

Place your balls.

Hit the ball cnly once.

Players may not touch the net or step over the center line.

You lose the ball if you do.

A match shall consist. of 2 out of 3 games.

The team losing the previous game of a match shall have the first serve in the succeeding game.

Strang 16 TeaMs shall charm' courts at the end of each game.

The ball must be clearly hit. 'he ball may be played with any part of the body from the knees up.

A player may not reach over the net under any circumstances.

A game shall end when a team has scored 21 and has a 2 point 'adover the opposing team. outage over A team is allowed '2 "time outs". If more are taken, either a point or "sideout" is declared for each one.

A toss of a coin determines who shall get the choice of either the serve or court.

It is permissible to run out of bounds to play a ball.

A ball touching any part of a boundary line considered a good ball.

I think each Lodge , should dress their teams Locording to their capability, nothing, extra or expensive, just be sure your Ledge's name and number is en the back of the shirts both boys and OM girls like the one piece gym suits that they 'use in school, they are standard regulation gym suits approved by the school curriculum; this cannot be criticized by anyone. The girls do not care for any head , apparel. as it just gets in the way while the game is on.

I will try to write more next week if I can keep my befuddled brain in a straight line, Anyway, here's wishing all of you the best of everything.

art Thursday the Junior Club met ival meeting and discussed its plans for the skating party which will be held Sunday, March 28, 1954. Everyone is to meet at the Hall at 4:00 and from there, they are to go skating.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Hope everyone can make it! Also, the club has de-

At the last party we went to the San Jacinto Battlegrounds for a wiener roast. After everyone had commenced to eat hot dogs we played baseball.

Growing tired cf this we went on a excursion of the battleship "Texas".

During that brief vist the battle ship was explored and reexplored.

I Don't forget the club meeting April 1, and we hope every one can plan to make the skating party.

Sincerely, Betq' Powell ) • J. • ( ENNIS LODGE NO. 25 The next regular meeting of the lodge will be held Sunday, April 11. A program is being arranged for presentation after the meeting by Sister Kudrna. If you are not there, I am sure nothing will happen! And if you are, well, it just might. It's none too early to decide, if you will accept, if you are elected to go to the district meeting as delegate.

Anyway, let's attend the meeting. This might be the very time someone decides to give a door prize and you wouldn't want to miss that!

Speaking of the district meeting, our members might jct, down all the brilliant ideas they get and present them for discussion at our meeting. Then the delegates would have a better idea of what to do at the district meeting. Of course, it would be very nice if others than the delegates would attend also.

Remember—West, Texas, April 25th.

If Emil writes, this may be repeated.

Next regular meeting of Sbor MladeZe is April 9th, at 8:00 p. in. You are always welcome.

There is also a provision in the bill to give each school district $100.00 for each professional unit as figured under the GilmerAiken Laws. This is in the form Of an offset for the 20 per cent local participation. This legislation is the same as was worked out by the Committee of teachers, lay citizens and legislators several weeks ago and represents a compromise plan. It is very possible that there might be some changes made in it before it is finally enacted into a law.

On Monday afternoon the Senate Coff17. mittee on Civil Jurisprudence held a four hour long hearing on the bill to outlaw Communism in Texas. The bill received the unanimous approval of the Committee. It would make membership in the communist party a felony and pro:vides for a penalty of from 2 to 20 years confinement in the penitentiary.

On Wednesday, March 24, the Senate passed the salary increase for State employees. This bill would grant $10.00 per month salary increase to State employees.

Sisters and Brothers, Lodge No. 48 will have the regular monthly meeting April 4, at which time the children of the LOdge will be entertained with an egg hunt and games. The ladies shall serve a lunch, which is something we all enjoy. We do want to see all of the children there so as to show them a grand time since the children are so good about entertaining us with programs.

The April meeting should be interesting to our members since the business of repairing and leasing the building will be discussed. Let us all get together and see what we can do.

The community in which our lodge hall- is lbcated has become interested in it as a place to intertain, which is a goal' we have strived for in the past years. On March 14 a bridal shower was given in our hall and another will be given'on March 28. We hOpe it will also be used as a place to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, or just parties.

• In closing I want to remind you to come' to our April 4 . meeting and. bring the youngsters. Meeting starts at 2:00 o'clock but if you simply can't make it by that time, come. anyway—don't disappoint the children.

We initiated 2 .new members, Brother Otis Jerry 6eska and daughter La Nelle eeska and 3 others that weren't present at the other initiation.

Sister Emma eeska transferred to us from Lodge Novy Kvet No. 35 Elk, Texas.

COME OUT Friday night, 8 to 12 p. in., April 30th to Lodge Pokrok 88, 1140 Robbie in Houston to our "April Fool" dance given for the benefit of our Youth and join in the nicest "foolish" times of your life.

Ray Krenek and his Orchestra will give us a version of real good "April Fool" music. "Better watch him—he may stop on you in the middle of a song and fool you, or some other such prank." It will be a hillarious night full of April fun and surprises.

• We will have tables and chairs upstairs for your convenience—"watch those chairs, they may have three legs that night"! And, "watch the candy girls, there may be surprises instead of candy. That cookie you buy—"may be hollow". The bottle of soda pop—"may be empty." All in fun folks—let's laugh for once. Shall we?

Do try to come out and support this Youth Benefit Dance and lend a helping hand by buying and selling as many tickets as you possibly can, and by advertising it well. You may contact our sisters: Delia Kadlecek at Vlctory-1121, Helen Schnell at VI-2140, Mary Butschek at VA 5281, Elsie Kadera at MY 1525, or myself at UN 7083 for books of tickets, or donations you may wish to give. towards the prizes. We do want to Make good for our Youth. With . an established Youth Fund at 88, we would not have to go into our general funds to lend a helping hand, and could do so much more for our Youth than what we are able to do presently.

Your help and cooperation and any

Stralla 1 good ideas or suggestions from you will be appreciated. Please call us—we can't do it alone—this is everybody's dance— let's work together and make it a huge success.

Watch for further announcements.

Fraternally, Birdie Hilsher PS: Know any pranks? Let us have them, or bring them with you to the dance and have a night of fun.

ST. PATRICK YOUTH PARTY Our St. Patrick's Party for the Youth at Lodg Pokrok No. 88 was held on St. Patrick's night and was a gala event.

The various Dance lessons and the Voice and Singing classes went on as every Wednesday night, but right after—the children broke out with "whoopee' ana. merriment. All gathered in 'a circle around the sixteen children who celebrated their birthdays, and sang "Happy Birthday". All sixteen received lovely birthday gifts of either wallets, scatter pins, or earrings. Huge shamrocks with numbers were pinned on all children to wear at the, party. Later, numbers were called out to determine the "winner of: "Who shall be the one to wear St. Patrick's hat?" (A large green shiny St. Patrick's hat was given.) "Who shall be the one to feed his pig?" (A large piggy-bank was presented) "Who shall find his pot of gold?" (A pot of gold— also form of a bank was given here.)

"Who shall get a wish on his Wish Bone?" (Wish Bone) "Who shall be the lucky one to smoke his pipe?" a plastic corn pipe). "Who shall have ALL his luck?" (A horse shoe.) Etc. Afterwards, refreshments with the St. Patricks' decor were served to around two hundred children from ,a beautifully decorated long table with Shamrocks pinned on a white cloth and a huge bowl full of Lime-Al• Sherbert and dozens and dozens of St. Patricks cookies.

All departed after having had a good time and are already looking forward to the April monthly party which will be an "Easter Party"—of course—given to ALL our Youth and their friends— members or nonmembers—en Wednesday night, April 14th right after the lessons. Remember all the Youth is invited to come, and mothres are asked to come out and lend a helping hand, if they can.

All children participating in the Dancing and Singing Project having Birthdays in April will be awarded their Birthday Gift on the night of our monthly party, April 14th, and so on each month throughout the year. All other children will always be asked to •come and join them in these monthly parties

Strana 18 and share in the fun, but will not receive a Birthday Gift unless they join the project. Watch for coming events.

Any child, wishing to join this project and Dancing and Singing, may do so by registering any Wednesday before classes (7:30 p. m.), at 1140 Robbie in Houston. Weekly dues to belong are 25c but all activities are free. Their 25e eventually comes back to them through gifts, prizes, refreshments, occasional parties (besides the regular monthly party when all can come), etc. And, of course they have the privilege of taking these lessons—as many as they can take in that one night.

"Whatever your children can learn --No one can, ever take away from tnem.

Remember that, We do have the best teachers, and it is here where the children can come to and feel "at home" with the ether children in a nice atmosphere. Surprising how may children look forward to this "their night-out" as they call it, and how much they seem to enjoy it. A door Prize is awaiting them every Wednesday night, and usually also refreshments. We have many things in store for them, as soon as time permits.

We are also playing baseball and volleyball every Saturday morning from 9:30 to 11:00 a. m. at Milroy Park, 12th and Yale—and, all of the children are invited to come out and play so that we can form good teams to play with our other lodges. It will be lots of fun going different places. Let's come out and play ball before it gets too hot. We'll be looking for you.

Also I would like to add that our Youth Benefit Dance is just around the corner—April 30th—last Friday of the month, and a good night for all to come out to have a grand time and to help support the Youth Activities of Lodge No. 88 so that we may be able to do more for our children. Tickets will be given out to sell, so that we can make a little money for these children of ours, as we will have only 2 dances for their benefit this year. Our first, which will be this coming April 30th and "April Fool's' dance, and the second one will be on October 29th which will be a Hallowe'en Dance. This Youth Fund will be the property of our lodge 88 for the purpose of its Youth Activities, for all the children—when needed, so the general fund will not be effected. This special-built Youth Fund could take care. of a lot of incidentals—even the gift bags at Xmas,etc. So let's be bighearted once and let's all be on the commit' 'c this time and really work to make tins a success.

Vt STNIK --- WEST, TEXAS May I suggest a Youth Benefit Dance in every lodge? Even if it is only once a year—it would be a great help to get your Youth Movethent started and you probably could do more for the ehildren and to retain their interest. I am sure you would find many children ready and willing to help you out with these dances in more ways than one. The youngsters are really your best advertising agency. News with them spreadS like fire, and before you know it, you will have a lodge hall full of people, especially if you had a "Special Dance" of some kind that spelled "Fun"—they'd all want to come then. Why not try it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gaink Fraternally, Birdie Wisher, Youth Counselor ) 4, • SPJST MEMBER IN AIRBORNE SERVICE

OIS L. DRESSLER Thanking to the attention and thoughtfulness of Brother Charles Valicek, of San Antonio, we have received a report that one of the younger members of San Antonio Lodge, Brother Alois L. Dressler, has been assigned with the 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, N. C. Lieutenant Dressler is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Dressler, members of San Antonio Lodge No. 133. He received his commission at* the Artillery School at. Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, and then he was given a five-week intensive course of Airborne Special Operations at Ft. Benning, Ga. Even though Lt. Dressler is with the paratroupers, he retains all the benefits with the SPJST, because we do not have any "military clause" restrictions.

We greatly appreciate news pertaining to any of our members. Thanks, Brother Valicek. And congratulations to Brother and Sister Louis Dressler. They should be rightly proud of their son.

GOOD PUBLICITY FOR PRAHA LODGE No doubt most of the SPJST members around Taylor must , have read the article in the January issue of Texas Industry entitled "Taylor in the Spotlight." It was written by Opal Hill Munz, editor of Texas Industry, and it tells a very inspiring story about the city of Taylor. For the benefit of the readers of the 'Vestnik, and for the encouragement of the SPJST members in and around Taylor who could—and don't— write, here is a bit of free publicity, a sort of summary foam the article in Texas Industry, There is an old story about some blind men who were invited to touch an elephant and pass judgment on what an elephant was like.

One blind man got hold of an ear and said that an elephant was small and soft and altogether harmless.

Another blind man felt the animal's side and said an elephant was big and terrifyingly strong.

A third blind man 'touched the elephant's snout and characterized it as being like a nervous, twisting animal.

A fourth blind man seized one of the elephant's tusks and insisted that an elephant was as hard as ivory.

Similarly, a community like Taylor, is different things to different people.

Yet when the essential connections are made the community becomes a rounded and balanced whole.

Taylor is a place where it L easy to get back to nature. The feeling of peace and contentment registered upon a visitor is hard to pin down. It is inspired by the sight of a rabbit wrinkling its eloquent little nose at you as you stroll through the community's park, or of a bee gathering a late load of honey from a full-blown, frostbitten thistle flower.

It is the smell of upturned earth, dark and damp, in fields that lie intimately close to the town's edge. It is a busy farmer having time to stop his tractor, tell you what it's like to be a farmer, and to quote a planting rhyme which has been murmured by generations of farmers.

"One for the blackbird, One for the crow, One for the cutworm, And there for to grow."

Taylor is a community which has an abundance of confidence in its youth.

Civic leaders agree that it is essential for children to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic, but that it is equally essential for them to learn to live and play together.

Taylor is a place where people of many races and creeds work and live

and get along. Like New York and Chicago, except on a smaller miniature scale, Taylor is a sort of melting pot for many racial strains that are the stalwart underpinning of the community. All of the racial strains make an appealing impact on the character of Taylor and have imprinted their culture, their artisanship, their_' culinary arts, and their earthly philosophy on the character of the community. The salt and savor of the speech of the different facial strains are still there. The most useful Czech word is "dobre" (good). Wide use of the expression and similar ones add a wealth of homespun old world flavor to Taylor.

You stand on a street corner and watch people passing by on a busy, not too busy morning. People with names like Adamek, Bartosh, Cuba, De la Rosa, Fuchs, Garza, Jones, Krenek, Lesikar, Smith, Svadlenak. A certain conventionality of dress cannot hide the startling variety of personality. You try to piece together their individual lives from a single glimpse. You try to guess what they are thinking. Every one is a walking biography. Then suddenly you know that these people are some way attached by the long tough thread of history through their customs, their ideas, their manner of living and eating and indeed by their physical 'features. And you look upon Taylor with eyes made freshly aware of the contributions there people of many racial origins have made to their community.

As you go about Taylor meeting some of the citizens, this feeling quickens and deepens.

There's Jerry Pavlik who acts as a veritable short-fused firecracker in promoting civic improvements. People say he works at a thing with trip-hammer persistence \until he gets it .done.

And there's Charles Hairston; chamber of commerce executive, who is a sort of walking who's who, encyclopedia, and atlas of the town's people, businesses, customs, sights, sounds, and smells.

His conversation is charged with penetrating and shrewd observations and comments about the community's way of life.

In Taylor you hear of citizens who are fearless enough to stand up and be counted for freedom. You listen to one of these colorful persons. The Reverend Frank D. Svolicria, pastor of the Czech Moravian Brethren Church, say grace at the Rotary Club luncheon. You already have learned that Mr. Svoboda! was born in Moravia, served with the United States Army in Czechoslovakia.

after VE-clay, and later broadcast to Russian-subjugated nations for the State Department's Voice of America.

You meet Louis A. Kincl at this place of business, the Kincl Hardware Co. There is courtesy on his lips as he talks with you. You see that he has a way of theating people who come in to the store to make purchases more as guests than as customers.

Kincl does heating, air conditioning, electrical, and sheet-metal contracting, and has several big jobs going cn in central Texas.

As busy as Kind is with enterprises, he takes time to serve as city commissioner and as president of the fire department.

Taylor is a community that expresses one of America's most cherished ideals, tolerance. There is no greater civic honor to be had in Taylor than to be elected outstanding citizen of the year. It is a reward for civic service. One year it may go to a banker, another year to a woman for her contribution to charity projects. Always it goes to a man or woman who has worked hard, strenuously, and unselfishly to promote the welfare of the community.

In 1952 Taylor made headline news when a beloved Negro citizen, Dr. James Lee Dickey, was cited as outstanding citizen. This award caused a stir that rippled far beyond the boundaries • of Texas. Overnight Taylor became one of the most talked of communities in the South. The final ovation came when national magazines like the Saturday Evening Post, and national radio systems dramatized the story.

The simple pilosophy expressed by Dr. Dickey in accepting the award, and the life he has led according to that philosophy, is what many whites and Negroes believe to be the most effective approach to racial problems.

Said Dr. Dickey: "This is democracy in action. This is something that totalitarian leaders will hate to hear about.

Race relations are a thing of the heart."

Twin conversation topics in Taylor are cotton production and rainfall. Hanging on the wall of many offices and business firms are calendars with rainfall statistics for the past 10 years on one side of the calendar and cotton production figures for the past 10 years on the other side.

Almost dead center in one cf the most fertile farming regions in the country, Taylor is blessed with soil rich, deep, and fertile, and as black as the type on this page.

Cotton has always been the principal

Straw, 20

IgriculLural crop, and Taylorites take cotton fields as for granted as they take granted crew haircuts and T-shirts worn by the small fry.

There's a saying in the community, money in a cotton country?" that . ,mns up pretty clearly the community's dependence on cotton crops.

In no other place in the United States is cotton so rightly king as in Williamson County. This county's long growing ;; . mson and abundant rainfall followed by periods of warm, dry weather are a cotton farmer's dream come true.

Almost any direction you drive from Taylor one is reminded anew of the vital role farmers still play in what we usually think of as industrial America.

Here you see the beautiful results of conservaticn effort, in rolling fields rhythmically plowed upon the contour, and geometric patterns of strip-cropped acres.

Farmers sitting astride orange tractor,' give eniphasis to the rapid speed with which farms are being mechanized.

(Williamson County has more tractors than any county in Texas, except in the citrm-grOWinff areas.) Farmers welcome machinery that cut down farm labor, increase production, and give him more time to spend on planning to bring in the greatest financial return. The farmer is no longer afraid of experimenta. No longer does his son have to coma home from agricultural school to tell Dad hoW to farm.

Farmers in Williamson County are no longer isolated individuals. The telephone, telegraph, television, automobiles, better roads, improved mail delivery have brought the world to the farms.

Progress has also come to the farm homes in Williamson County. Many a farn-ihou , has kitchens with all the Med .-• ent of refrigeration and . lens where housewives can sail into them like prima donnas for three Performances a day.

Although cotton Is king in Williamson County, grain is certainly the crown prine. More and niore farmers are turnMg from corn to maize because it requires less labor to grow and harvest, and there are nearby profitable markets for it.

Wednelday, March 24, 1954

USE YOUR OWN TIME When you work eight hours a day for someone else, those eight hours belong to the boss, not to you. You don't get ahead during those eight hours, you simply trade them for your salary.

Suppose it takes you an hour to get home, another hour and a half to eat and relax a little; it is now seven-thirty in the evening. Most workers, especially unmarried men and women who are riot burdened with extraordinary amounts of housework, consider seventhirty , the jumping off hour for getting some fun out of life. Doubtless you have every good , intention of getting ahead at your regular job v he's you are on the job--but you certainly aren't on the job now! So off you rush, to a movie or a dance or a date, or just to meet up , with the old gang down by the bowling alley or the neighborhood tavern.

Where's the release in this dash for so-called pleasure? Do you ever find it?

Do you really feel free following this cut-and-dried habit month in and month out? Does this pursuit of fun in the evening make your regular work less onerous and obnoxious next day? And even though you work like blazes, do you have a feeling you're actually getting ahead on the job? Do you notice regular promoticns a n d unexpected breaks coming your way? Probably not.

And if you analyze, your feelings in the matter, you may admit that your longedfor gOal of power and position seem as far away as it did a year or two ago.

What's holding you back, since you work so hard and faithfully every day? Maybe it's those hours of pleasure last night and all the other nights!

Pleasure; moderately indulged in, certainly won't make you duller or dumber or less energetic on your regular . job.

The real harm of, this nightly "pleasureregimen" is that it robs you of the only time you have for getting ahead!

From seven thirty in then evening to retiring time, and your free hours on the week ends, represent the chief stretches you have for getting ahead— not the eight regular working hoUrs that belong to the boss. This time is generally referred to as "spare time", a very poor and misleading label! Rather call it rare time, golden time, precious time, vital time, getting-ahead time!

This is the time when you're your own boss, when the only orders you have to follow are your own, when you can do a kind of work that the boss would never allow you to do on paid time. For instance: You can experiment! On your own

By James T. Mangan) time you can experiment with things and techniques and ideas. You can make as many mistakes and do as many foolish things as you want. You can pretend you are doing the very same work you do from nine to five, only now you can do it in a wild, unrestricted fashion, boldly exploring new horizons, eliminating the red tape that you despise so much, trying new tricks and short cuts for efficiency — and accounting to nobody for your actions.

If you are a mechanic, you may build a model or g, mock-up of a new device or invention which would be a great advancement over some old-fashioned method your employer is using in his shop. If you are a ccrrespondent in the office, you have all the time you need for writing a perfect series of form letters, polishing them to a fare-theewell, making them brilliant and irresistible in, persuasiveness. At home you can spend twenty times as much time and concentration on a single letter as you do at the office, and there's no boss to tell you you have to produce faster!

You can read! In your real gettingahead time, you can read! Read and and cut everything there is to know about your business, about your products, about your competitors, about the philosophy of the leading minds of your industry. You can become the bestposted man in your organization, perhaps even better posted than the boss himself!

You can make up suggestions! Probably there's a suggestion system in your organization, but the system isn't popular with the employees. Maybe every two months the executives of the company meet to consider suggestions, and they are nearly always disappointed at she small number of suggestions turned in—perhaps twenty from all the him-, dreds, or thousands, of people working for the outfit.

Why, in your own time at home, by doing a little independent thinking, by contemplating the everyday problems that face you alone, and then figuring out ways and means of licking these problems, it would be no task at all for you to turn in twenty original suggestions in two months!

Now go in your imagination to this meeting of the big shots, open up the suggestions with them, read off the names of the people making the suggestions. The committee finds that one person has turned in as many suggestions as all the other employees combined! In such a situation, could you

possibly go unrecognized? Could any one of the executives' ever say they did not know your name or anything about you?

And how much work would it mean on your part to gain this special prominence? Very little. Actually, the knowledge of how well you had scored would mean more pleasure than any sport or relaxation could ever give you.

You can research! On your own time you can become a self-appointed research expert. If staying at home in the evening bores you too much, you can go out, and go to many places, and still be working at something that is bound to help you get ahead. You can call at stores, talk to merchants and salesmen, observe customers, make inquiry about your product and competitive products to find out precisely what is happening to them in the field.

In every conversation in which you find yourself you can slyly turn the subject over to the nature of your business or the nature of your own work and receive a wealth of comment from friends and strangers which will give 'you a new slant, new material, new inspiration for becoming more brilliant and effective at your own job.

Truly your best working hours are the hours for which you don't receive any formal wages. Don't let them flit by under the head of dumb pastime or mistaken pleasure. There's a million times , more pleasure in them if you use them to make yourself stronger and more, competent at your regular job.

When a man goes in business for himself, he never limits himself to the folly of working' only eight hours a day. If he did, he couldn't possibly succeed!

What he does is work twice as hard and long as he ever did on a salaried job, He makes more money because he squeezes more dollars out of every hour and because he squeezes twice as many hours out of every week as he ever did before.

• As a worker-for-wages. you should have an identical attitude toward your own work. Of course, the extra pay won't come back to you the very first week after you start using your own time for getting ahead — but it won't be too long before you'll startle yourself and all around you with progress and promotions that will double, yes more than double, your present salary.

V tom vgak spattila nee° neslYchaneho. Javert chytl pana predstaveneho za lnnec, a pan predstaveny sklonil hlavu.

Zdalo se ji, Ze se boil._ svet.

"Pane predstaveny!" zvolala Fantina.

Javert se dal do d'abelskeho smichu.

"Zde jiz neni predstaveneho!" zvolal.

Jean Valjean se nepokou gel, vytrhnouti se z ruky, ktera jej drZela. Bekl jen: "Javerte. . . ."

Javert mu skoeil do teen "Bikej mi, pane inspekt'cre'!"

"Ale to nesmi slySeti nikdo jinY ne2 vy."

Fantina se zachvela.

Fantina prudce vyskoeila, oprela, se o ruce, pohlecila na Jeana Valjeana, na Javerta, potom na milosrdnou sestru, otevrela Usta, chtela vzkiliknouti, ale z jejiho hrdla vydral se jen chra.pot, DJby ji jektaly, rozprahla fizkostlive name a -nahle klesla do podukk. Skonala.

Jean Valjean polo.zil ruku svou na ruku Javertovu, otevrel ji zlehka jako ruku ditete a rekl: "Vy jste tuto Zulu zabil."
