V fitadu prvniho mistoptedsedy bude Mrs. Clara Lindsey, zastupujici Degree of Honor, a do ritadu druheho mistopiedsedy nastupuje bratr John F. Chupick, hlavni tajemnik SPJST. Na podzim v Galvestonu dosazen bude bratr Chupick do fitadu prvniho mistopiedsedy a o rok pozdeji bude piedsedou Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu.

ZPR-,ITY A QUEASY Z DIS ODEZVA Z PATEHO DISTRIKTU Houston, Texas.

Doeetla jsem Vestnik ze dne 9. eeryna a. to mne piimelo ku psani. Mezitim OvAem vyglo jiZ dalgi eislo. Prvni stranka Vestniku, kterY jsem eetla, byla venovana distriktni schtizi poka.dane v nedeli 30. kvetna v Danbury. Bratr redaktor pane yyobrazil okoli, kde se piknik a schtze pateho distriktu konaly. Take vysvetlil, jaka prate s timto podnikem byla spojena.. Distrikt pity si nyni finanene stoji dobke, neb otazka pokladny vyte gena tint, ze piknik byl potadan patYm distriktem.

V duchu si pii eteni libuji, ze zprava od redaktora tYkajici se distriktni schtize je uchazejici. Otoeim stranku Vestniku a pustim se do eteni "Na gim elenum od re: claktora." Bac kozu do vozu tu to je.

Dekuji, bratte redaktore, ze neeini g Zadne vYjimky, ze pigeg nestranne, pochvalig, kde chvala je mistna, a udeli g dtitku, kdy si ji bad° zaslou.21.

"Pochybuji vg ak, ze bratr Pokladnik, bratr Hrabina, nebo kdokoliv jiny z hostu a navg tevnikti distriktni schtme v Danbury odnesl si nee° noveho."

"Udelal jsem poznamku o schnzi sedmato distriktu v San Antoniu. 2aclam za prominuti. Schtize pateho distriktu byla hodno chudobnejgi."

Osobne nemyslim, ze by to bylo takove fiasko celkove. Za prve, 90% naygtevinkft se bavilo jiSte dobte, at' to bylo rozhovorem, zpevem nebo hrou. A za druhe, videla jsem poprve, M nage mlad0 se skuteene zajimala o vYpornoc pii takovem pOdnikti. To jiZ" samO sebou je velikY pokrok, kdy nag e mlade2 se sama nabidne, vypcimMe, kde je toho tteba. A musim je pochvalit. Dopoledne pracovali na vgech mistech, a po obecle byli zamestnani pti rtznYch hthch. Ptitomno bylo pies dye ste deti rozlieneho stall. A bylo to poptve, co si nag e mlacle'Z' libovala, ze mela dobre easy.

Tedy nemyslim, ze nag pity distrikt zanedbal sve povinnosti vinci celku. Mladd je na prvnim miste, proto vet gina schilze byla venoVana miadezi. Jinak mohu rici, ze z nagi loriske schtize pkiglo mnoho dobra v pkirnstku Menu a obnosu poji gteni. Udelal se velikY pokrok po strance obchodni, bez

ktere se rozhodne nemfdeme obejit. V teto posledni schtizi pateho distriktu jsme ovgem neudelali nic konkretniho, vgak uspokojili jsme na gi mladeZ, ktera podruhe nebude vahat a rada se ziteastni nagich podniku.

Jak bylo podotknuto, byl to piknik mladYch i starYch, a. schitze byla jenom formalni. Jestli jsme neco zanedbali, pHste to vynahradime.

And we can do likewise. We have just as much chance to start a farreaching project as they did. We can do it, and we have almost everything in our favor. Only we must not be lazy or self-complacent. We must know the importance of what we wish to do.

TO CELEBRATE THE 57th SPJST birthday, we should introduce into the SPJST a Junior Department or Junior Division with junior lodges. The Junior Division could be the nursery for the development of the adult membership. It would be a division that would instill in the lives of our children the noble ideals and realism of true fraternal activities. It Would be a division from which each , year hundreds of members would be transferred to the adult division. It would be a division from which the future officers of local lodges and the future officers of the Supreme Lodge should come up. It would be the elementary school of fraternalism. * • WE SHOULD SENSE THE IMPORtance of training of youth-for executive responsibilities. We should give special attention to our Youth Movement by immediately establishing local Junior Ledges, and-inaugurating rules directing junior management of these Junior Lodges under the guidance of a senior supervisor. We should recognize the full worth and the capabilities of the Juniors by giving them opportunities to become officers. We should demonstrate W . the Juniors that we place confidence in them.

WE NEED MORE MEMBERS TO BE taken in the Junior Division.: We have one of the cheapest plans for the juniors, yet we do not push it. We could easily organize local Junior Ledges by allocating .a,mne of our local funds to pay for the entrance fee or for providing all the facilities which are necessary to conduct the blisiness of the Junior Lodge.

I could quote you one society which has $20 million of the total assets, and where the assets of the Junior Division is close to two million dollars. And I could name another society which started a new venture with its . boys in 1951, and wrote over 5,000 new junior members in one year.

Wednesday, June 23, 1054 HERE IS THE PREFACE FROM "OUR SONG BOOK"

Our Youth Movemen 613y

To My Distinguished Friends: The many telegranis and wonderful letters of encouragement and recognition I have received in the last month from the many officials 'cf fraternal organizations, state and national, truly filled my heart with the deepest gratitude. I never would have thought our Vestnik reaches, and is so studiously read in, so many of the highest offices of the fraternal insurance field.

It is with great humility and thankfulness I accepted these letter and telegrams of assurance, confidence, cheer, and inspiration. Indeed, I feel very honored and very happy and proud to be SG fortunate in having my SPJST work and editorials recognized and read by so many distinguished ladies and gentlemen in the fraternal field, and I am certain that the general membership of our organization shares with me in this pride.

Even tho I answered each letter and letter and telegram personally, I wish to take this opportunity to express my deepest and sincerest thanks in these columns of my editorial.

Fraternally, Birdie Hilsher And now for some news for our membership at large. In my last editorial I mentioned "Our Song Book" which I am preparing for publication. I have conferred with several printers and publishers as to the cost of a volume consisting of approximately one hundred pages or mbre, and will give all the details to our board . of directors when I have everything ready.

After my article pertaining to the advisability of readapting and reviving singing in our 16dges for the best interest and enjoyment of our entire membership, I Was faced with a continuous demand for folk songs which are not on the market or out of print, and many of them totally unobtainable, or if so in an arrangement, unpractical for our purpose. This almost necessitated for me to start the work on a suitable song book for all of us some months ago. It took

birdie 9-81sher

many hours of arduous research, travel, and compilations unbelievable to anyone not familiar with this type of work; but, with the objective of integrating singing as a salient attraction in our lodge, I have prepared this work as a stepping stone for all members—young and adult—to start singing and prepare themselves in this way for a possible chorus of accomplished well-trained singers in the future, a chorus which would hold rehearsals weekly, giving performances not only locally, but at districts, conventions, and other lodge socials as well as making radio and television appearances.

A well trained chorus pierformance has more advertising value and sales appeal than pages of printed pamphlets costing many times more in expense than the small outlay involved in maintaining a chorus of our SPJST orzanization. Of course, this is only a thought for the future and what could be done, and really should be done for the welfare of all concerned, but for the present—may I suggest that we start from the beginning with "Our Song Book" and spend many enjoyable hours in community song festivals.

The science assures us that music was the first language of human beings.

From the cultural and biblical history it is known that music originally served for the worship of gods, the sun in the day of the Neanderthal men and then very likely with the Aurignacians in the paleolithic period, when the beginning of the sensitivity for art and beauty was entering the consciousness of the man—from the sacred worship places and temples, the music entered the life.

The beauty of sound made the overflowing hearts of the people sing.

A folk-song accompanies us throughout our lives. We hear it everywhere from the day we are born, for there is beauty, clear, sparkling appeal in the songs 'of the people—melodies that come from the hearts of peoples—unaffected. real sincere, our folk-songs. It is characteristic of these songs that they call for group performance.

Here then I present a collection of some of the best loved Czech'osl'ovakian songs, some of which have made their appearance on the American scene.

These songs contain pathos, humor, tragedy, whimsicality, boisterous comedy and all of them, the sweetness of our Czech, Moravian, and Slovak melody: they should be sung with others and best of all sung again.

To make a larger selection of the better known folk-songs readily available, I have compiled this work which does not intend by any means to be a complete anthology, as for practical purposes, less known, albeit also beautiful songs had to be omitted. The harmonic structure is developed in the basic classical harmony in the simpliest form, and with the annotated chords—shown and listed in the appendix—everybody with only the rudimental musical knowledge can play these songs on sight.

I wish to express my sincerests thanks to the musical director of my programs, Mr. John J. Pech, for his valuable assistance in research, editing, and preparation of this work. Without his help my desire to present to you this song book would have been very difficult to fulfill. (continued) ) • 4. •

It may be news to many of you, but there is no concert choral group active along these lines in any fraternal order in the state of Texas, and I would like to see our SPJST take the leadership in promoting this cultural activity in all all our lodges and stand as a leader among fraternities in our state. We would only be following our ancestral love for music and bring it to the focal attention of America, giving at the same time cur membership incentives for achievements to be proud of and also inThe • ld have a reputation for wisstilling in our children the price in the !

In our vicinity the country is flat and marshy. We have a dike around Tia Juana to keep the lake out. The average elevation is only about two feet above sea level. There are several pumps' inside the dike which pumps the water over the dike and into the Lake when it rains. We are only about sixty miles from the Andes Mountains, and we plan to make a trip there sometime during our local vacation.

Since oil is the reason we are in Venzuela, I -must make some mention of the oil industry here. Oil is located in many parts of the country just as it is in the States, but I will try to give you a brief description of the oil picture as it is in the Lake Maracaibo region.

There are three oil companies which have drilling and production rights here — Creole Petroleum Corporation which is a subsidiary of Standard of N. J., Venezuelan Oil Company (V.O.C.l which is a branch of Shell, and Mene Grande which is a branch of Gulf. The Lake itself is very rich in oil production and one can see row upon row of oil derricks in the Lake as far as the eye can see. As some one told me when I first arrived here, "To get oil out in the Lake, all one needs is a harpoon and a pipe!" Of course it isn't quite that simple. The three companies produce oil from the following area: All V.O.C. wells are located on land; all Mene Grande wells are located from the shore line out to approximately one kilometer in the Lake; all Creole wells are located in the Lake . past the one kilmeter mark. This location of wells only applies to the Lake Maracaibo region.

Each company has* its own camps, located along the shores of Lake Maracaibo. When. we first arrived we lived in the LaSalina camp for three months.

Then we moved about twelve miles down the coast to Tia Juana. In our camp there are approximately onehundred - thirty housing units with twenty houses under construction.

A large portion of the North Americanz employed by Creole come from the Southwestern part of the United States.

Most of them are from Texas and Oklahoma. However, many other states are well represented.

The flowering shrubs and trees are all but breath-taking. Their, colors are so (Continued on page 21.)

COMBINED PROGRAM A SUCCESS AT LODGE NO. 88 Mother's Day and Father's Day program, which was a combined affair at Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88, Sunday, June 6, was very successful in every respect. Every one enjoyed it tremendously. This goes for the audience as well as the participants. There were young ones, elder ones, and old, but all of them really enjoyed performing for you, and thanks for the enthusiasm; it certainly helps. We had a very nice attendance for the program and the dance at night.

The children: Helen Vala, Mildred Vala, Billie Hilsher, Charles Kelly, and Robert Hilsher, each of them played the piano, and Robert Hilsher added a song in Czech, "Lucka, lucka zelena." All played very nicely.

Sister Helen Fusig with her lovely voice sang two songs. Vala Brothers entertained us; Emil Vala with his accordion and Adolph Vala on his violin.

They make pretty good music, I must say. They are always willing to play when asked, and we are more than willing to listen.

Five young men: Jennie Sula, Eugene Hruska, Frankie Bravenec, George Avent, and Trueman Williford presented us with a style show. I wished you could have seen them. I bet they had lots of these men fooled, they really put it over. The applause they received was gratifying.

The one act play presented by the Dramatic Club Hlahol was received with laughter and applause. In a way, it was different; we never presented one like this and it was very appreciated by the audience. The title was "Mr. Vohnout First Time in a Show". The cast included Sisters, Naomi Kostom, Harriet Earl, Marie Straznicky, Frances Olexa; Brothers: V. Straznicky, Tim Kostom, Jerry Ermis, Emil Vala, Anton Svestka, Rudy Sefcik; prompter, Rosie Hanus.

The choir sang several Czech songs; accompanist, Sisteh Naomi Kostom. We enjoyed this combined program of Mother's Day and Father's Day and a favorable assurance , from the audience was also received. Thanks for the nice turnout for the program and also for the dance at night. The orchestra of Illses played wonderfully and every one seemed to have a good time.

I want to remind you of cur next dance which is scheduled again for the first Sunday in July. The date: 4th of July. All members of Lodge Pokrok

BROTHER PAVLICEK IN WASH. INGTON, D. C. While vacationing in the East, Brother Adolph D. Pavlicek, attorney for the Supreme Lodge SPJST, remembered the editor with greeting cards from New York and Washington, D. C. During his stay in the national capitol, he was 'admitted to practice before the I.T. S. Supreme Court.

My private secretary—by the way, she started to take care of all my personal needs thirty-five years, ago this week— in spite of her efficiency 'overlooked the article about Brother Pavlicek in the Houston Chronicle, the issue of Saturday, June 12, 1954. It was through the courtesy and thoughtfulness of Brother • Chupick, secretary of the Supreme Lodge, that I am able to reprint the following news item: LAWYER ADMITTED TO HIGH COURT PRACTICE Attorney Adolph D. Pavlicek has been admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. He is attorney for the Supreme Lodge of Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas.

brilliant anti vivid. The Venezuelan national tree, when in bloom, is a solid ma s of bright yellow blossoms. The leaves do not appear until after the tree has bloomed. It is a sight which would be hard to equal, especially when the trees are seen along the hillsides from a distance. Orchids grow wild in the forests. They can be seen growing in the trees, from the road-side. Many of the people here "transplant" the orchids inlc, trees in their own yards. I was very surprised when I saw my first orchid plant, as it wasn't until then that I realized the orchid is a parasite!

It depends on trees for its nourishment like moss anr! mistletoe.

The Lion and the Hare (By Deanna Butschek) A big and very strong lion made his den in a certain forest and started to kill and eat all the animals. he animals that lived in this forest met together for advice and went to the lion to beg him not to eat them that, every day one would come and be his dinner. The lion allowed them to do this as he would not have the work to catch them.

So every day one animal voluntarily came to be the lion's dinner until it was the little hare's turn: He was greatly displeased and slowly went to the lien's den. By the time he got there it was past noon. The little rabbit Squatted down and bowed to the lion. The hungry lion roared out "Wl)y is it that you one of the fastest animals of the forest is so late? TorncTrow I am going to tear up all the animals in this_ forest!"

The poor little hare said: "Mr. Lion, I am not to blame: I met a lion on the way here, that was much stronger than you are and he told me to tell you that as of now you will not get any animals. Now I am to return to him so that he can eat me up."

The lion roared and had the hare to take him to this other lion. Little hare took the lion to a deep well and said: "Look, my Master, there is the stronger lion's underground den. Look at him showing his teeth." The lion looked into the well and seeing his resemblance, jumped into the well and drowned. aele— (Editor's Note:—To Deanna Butschek goes the first dollar for sending in a fairy tale translated from Czech into English.

Bily pan se objevil. Tvait jeho byla velmi ptivetiva a lined polozil na stub osmdesat frankii.

Jakmile si bilk pan sedl na Zidli, posadil se Jondrette na druhou zidli jemu vstr•c.

Marius citil velkY hnus, ale strachu newel virbec, jen stifle tiskl bambitku v ruce. Bilk pan pohledl na postel.

"Jak se dafi ubohe malieke, ktera, nano tak plakala?" tazal se soucitne.

"Zle, milostivY pane. Ruka ji velmi bolela a pak ji velmi otekla, starai sestra ji tedy zavedla k ranhojiei. Myslim, Ze hned se vrati:" Zatim co Jondrette mluvil jako obyeejne s nakkem, spatiil Marius v pozadi pokoje kohosi, jehoZ' tam posud nebyl zpozoroval. Patrne veael pied chvilkou, ale tak tine, ze ho nebylo slyaeti.

Veden jakYmst instinktem, bilY pan take se ohledl.

"Kdo je ten elovek?" tazal se.

"Mtij soused," odpovedel Jondrette.

Soused vypadal prapodivne. Tvai mel cclou eernou, ale je tolik rtiznYch tovaren,. Ze se mohl pii praci ueerniti.

Zatim Jondrette bavil hosta vypravoya.nim sveho Zivotopisu. U dveri ozval se lehkY kamot, zase veael jakYsi rnua, prave tak ueernenY -jako prvni. BilY pan na neho pohledl.

"Nevgimejte si jich," iekl Jondrette, "jsou to lido doinaci. Mam zde obraz velke ceny, kterY bych rad prodal. Ratite si jej laskave prohlednouti." Vstal a gel ke zdi,. u niZ stab() jakesi platno. Marius nemohl obrazu videti, ale zdalo se mu, Ze jest to nejakY vYvegni atit.

"Co je to?" tazal se bilk pan. "(3, je to mistrovskY obraz, velke cony," zvolala Jondrette, "vaIim si ho velice, je to pro mne draha pamatka, ale jsem piece nucen jej prodati, tak bida na mne dioleha."

Bily pan pohledl piimo do oei a iekl: "Je to 'Stit nejake kremy, ma cenu sotva tii franky."

"Mate tobolku u sebe?" iekl Jondrette sladce, spokojil bych se pelt tisici frankti."

Bily pan vyskoail se Zidle, opiel se e zed' a rychle se rozhledl po svetnici.

Bilk pan pohlikl na nej patrave. Najednou ten malt' elovieek se vzpi'imil, v jeho ()etch zasvitl stra§nY blesk, ptistoupil k bilemu panovi a zvolal hlasem hromovym: "0 to koneene se nejedna, poznavate nine?"

"Je vae pripraveno?" otazal se.

"Ano," odpovedel jeden z ptichozich.

"Ceka droZka na miste, ktere jsem u`r ail?"

"Ano." "Dobra."

BilY pan velmi zbledl. Pochopil jiz, kam padl, ale v jeho tvati nebylo ani trochu bazne. Ze stolu rychle sobe udelal hradbu, a aekoliv pied chvilkou vypadal tak dobracky, podobal se nyni nahle zapasniku, a poloZil svalovitou pest svou neo&kavane hrozive na lenoch • Jondrette opakoval svou otazku s tichYm a stra gnYm smichem.

"Vy rime tedy nepoznavate?"

"Ne," odpovedel bilk pan.

Vtom se Jondrette sklonil nad stolem, ptistreil tvat svou ke tvati hostove a zvolal: "Nejmenuji se Fabantou, ani Jondrette, jmenuji se Thenardier, jsem hostinskY z Montfermeillu! Nyni snad si vzpomenete, slySite?! Jmenuji se Thenardier!"

LehkY rumenec ptelet1 tvat bileho pana, ale klidne odpovedel: "Ne, neznam vas!"

Marius to odpovedi ji.2 neslykl. To jmeno nan ucinibo ohromujici dojein. Zachvel se na celem tele, opiel ,se o zed', jako by jej zachvacovaly mdloby, a po to pomalu skiesla ruka, je2 byla k vYsttelu namiiena.
