Dosti didelitou, ,ale maim' povSimoutou, cast v soustave nasi SPJST je jeden 14box, o kterem mohlo by se, tici, te pra . cuje jako gyyoskop. Nnozi mai etenati asi neyedi, co gyroskop je. Ale jestli rekneme, te j.e to stabilisaeni pristroj, musell laychom napted vysvetlit, co je stabilisace. A kdy pychom rekli, :te gyroskop je ,setrvaanik, takove vysvetlern by ninoho nepomohlo., A tim bychom nevysvetlili cifiletitost onoho vYboru. AvSak kdy napted vysvetlime, ze gyroskop---nebq e,esky setryaenik—je z ylaStni vynalez, P,c1n1Qc i ktereho se zmirriuje kymaceni parniku na Sirem moti nebo kolebavY pohyb• letounu ve vzduchu„ zaelname mitt ureitou predstavu, jakYm utitee nYm. vynalezem je gyroskop.

Neeim podobny'm ke zmenSeni a zmirneni zbyteeneho- kymaceni v nak • Jed note je TiskovY vYbor, kterY mirohemu elenu zda, ,se zarizenrin zbyteenYm. Tento vYbor aaveden byl na osmem sjezdu v Schulenburgu, kdy provedena byla do sti radikalni reorganisace Jednoty, lotni fond byl sloueen s fondem rimrtnim, Vestnik zmenen ze etrnactideniku na tY denik, a kdy bratti F. Toupal, Jos. Mikeska a F. Mika byli zvoleni do Tiskoveho vYborti, aby na rizeni a vyda.vani organu aby kontrolovali nemistne •a Jednot y Akodlive prestrelky a osobni vYpady nekterYch dopisovatelt.

Tiskov* vSrbsr existuje v na gi Jednote jit od roku 1920, tedy 34 roky. Na deva.tern sjezdu . v Houstonu roku 1924 zvoleni byli do Tiskoveho vYboru bratri Jan Hurta -(nynejti predSeda velikeho krajanskeho spoika R. V. 0. S.), Jan Holedek a Anton V. Mikeska, DesatY sjezd Temple, roku 1928, zvolil do Tiskoveho vYboru bratry Jana Gajevskeho, V. Drobila a Alberta p gen'aika. JedenactY sjezd v Ennis . y 1932 dosadil do Tiskoveho boru Jana Grijevskeho, Karla Latnovskeho a Jos. Kritinskelio starSiho. AZ do sjezdu v Nast Bernard v roku 1936 byli 61enove jen rozhodcrini v pfispevcich do Vestniku, ktere byly pochybneho nebo nechistojneho obsahu,. Lee sjezd v East Bernard zveth,ri organ o osm .stranek a tet ustanovil, te TiskovY vYbor a redaktor maji konati jednou•za rok schrizi, =pri ktere by se yzajernne probraflo zlepAeni organu. Do Tiskoveho vYboru zvoleni byli v roku 1936 bratti tjos. Horriak, Jan Holeeek a Jos. KruainskY starSi. Bratr Jos. .Horriak 'byl ustanoven pfedSedou tehdefgho vSiboru.

Ve sjezdu v Taylor roku 1940 jmenovani do Tiskoveho vYboru bratti Jos. Horriak, Louis Dressler a Joe N. Morris.

du v Corpus Christi v roku 1944 do. Tiskoveho vYboru dosazeni byli brat): Jos. Horriak, a sentry Frances Ol'exo yd a Antonie OndrUSkova (nyni Horakova),- kte$JiZto elenove znovu ustanoveni do -Tiskoveho vYboru ye sjezdu v roku . 1948 ye, fort Worth a opet v poslednim sjezdu vlHoustonu.

Price a povinnosti Tiskoveho vSrhoru zdaji se east° bezvYznamnS7mi; Jaka ten vynalez gyroskop, kterY se nalka v farobach parniku nebo je ukryt uvaitt-iletounu ,aby udrtoval rovnovdhu a sinirnil zbyteene neptijenme kymaceni, rovnet tak vYkonnost Tiskoveho vYborit neni pied .oeirna elenn. Clenove ; .Tiskoveho VS7born nejsou censory nebo neprateli. svobodneho projevu a nepostradatelne kritiky. Clenove Tiskoveho vYboru jsou.na strane Jednoty a vSech Glenn, kteri. maji blaho Jednoty na zreteli. Pro redaktora je TiskovY vYbor, rozhodujicirn, a poslednim .slovem, z jehot rozsudku se redaktor nemuze odvolati. ftekne li TiskovY vYbor, za eldanek nebo kritika s a in o t n=6.11 o redaktora je opra. v n é n a a mistna, redaktor musi takovY prispevek uvetejniti. A zase redaktor dostane pripomeriuti; co TiskovY vYbor -od redaktora .potacluje nebo cello se ma vararati.

Tato vYmena koresponclence mezi.redalctorem a TiskovYm vYborem, nebo mezi nekterkm elenem a Tiskovym vYborem neni firedne hlaSena, ba nikdo vii bec nemd tuSeni net pouze osoby interesovane. Proto mate se smele.tvrditi, te TiskovY vYbor—jako nejakY- ne viditelnY gyroskop---ridrtuje rovnoyahu a zabrariuje neprijenanYm vYkyvtim. A jestli si nekdy redaktor mysli, to ;sedi sarn v redaktorske lodiece a te mute se die libosti rozhoupat, prijde od p•edsedy Tiskoveho vYboru mirne—ale jadrne, zretelne—upozorneni, te takova legrace se ani na redaktora nesluSI. Priznam se, ze prove minuleho t:vdne dostal jseni kde stalo: "Prosim, dobre si preeti, co TislcovY vYbor oeekava od redaktora ..." A pak nasledovalo.nekolik odstavcri jako direktiva •pro redaktora. A tam take stalo, co musim sdeliti s naSimi dopisovateli a zpravodaji...,aby neposilali sve prispevky ani na Hiavni firadovnu, jak nekteri tajemnici s projevy soustrasti ,ani do tiskarny, ale na adresu redaktora do •Houstonit- Mezi jinYm pile predseda Tiskoveho vY;boru: "Bratr redaktor je upozornen;,Ze ,TiskovY vYbor nebude trpet, aby kte•Ykoliv elen nebo Olenkyne mohli dopi gy posilat primo do tiskarny a bez vedomi nebo kontroly redaktora je uverejnit ve Vestnikil,—Tedy ode d n e s k a tiskarna odeSle katdY dopis, kterY nedoPatrenim nebo zrimyslne byl poslan prima do tiskarny, redaktoru do Houstonu, eimt se prispevek nebo oznameni zdrtl a opo• zdi.

• Mam na svem stolku vytisky stanov od pet jinS7ch bratrskStch spolka, ktere praye porovnava.m. ZadriST z techto pet spolku nerna TiskovSr dbor ,ale zato katdSr z nich nt nejakSr jinSi regulator rovnovahy. meni dvou spolku z techto peti je podobne astave SpojenStch state, totit dva spolky maji ve sdch stanovach jrnenovan odbor zakonodarn—sjezdy a delegaty; odbor dkonnY—teditele a jim podtizene hlavni atedniky; a odbor soudni—dbor apelaeni nebo hlavni soud, kted te gi ,vSechny mozne otazky mezi sjezdem. Th organisace z techto pet maji sjezdy, kontrola mezi sjezdy je v rukou teditelii, a qkonnost nebo administrativa je provadena vrchnimi irkedniky, kteti jsou pod kontrolou teditela. V jednom bratrskern spolku sjezd voli pouze teditele a ptedsedu spolku, kdetto dalk hlavni atednici jsou zvoleni od teditela. A kdyt ritednik by nevyhovoval nebo nemel dostatedne kvalifikace, maji pray() dati mu jinou praci a dosaditi na jeho misto osobu schopnejM. Je opravdu zajimave studovati nebo porovnavati stanovy jinSich bratrskS/ch spolku, totit tech vet gich net na ge SPJST, a jen si v duchu piedstavovati, jak by na to nebo ono zatizeni pohlitel nekted z nagich delegatt, kted vady na sjezdu vyskakuje, "aby to zustalo pri starem." A snad by ne g kodilo, aby ti nagi kdo budou studovati a upravovati stanovy pro pti gti sjezd, konan' v Temple roku 1956, meli pfiletitost nahlednouti aspori do tuctu stanov od jinYch spolku. Cim elovek pteje si miti gir gi obzor a rozhled; tim vice musi hledati nove prameny informaci.

Kdo jsou oni eleni, kteki budou upravovati i nage stanovy pro pli gti sjezd? V zapiscich ze sjezdu v Houstonu jsou jmenovani nasledujici: Frank Olexa, Frank B, Steiner, A. M. Vrla, JOs. Slavik, Emil Kutae, Vaclav Hanna, George • Kacit, Vladimir Stratnic14, Frank Hlotek. Zda se mi, ze bratti Steiner a Kacit se pozdeji vzdali, proto budou povolani nekteti z nahradnikti, kteti jsou: Jerry Valchat, Emil Kvasnieka, August Kleeka a F. J. Musil.

Setkal jsem se nedavno s jednim z vS'Se jmenovanYch bratru, ktefi budou zasedati na vSrboru pro apravu stanov.

Hovotili jsme o vgelikSrch spolkovSrch zajmech. ZminenY bratr ani si nevzpomnel, to byl jmenoyan do stanovniho dboru a sam jsem mu to neptipomenul. Ale bylo pozorovati, te o spolkodch vecech dosti protote Irmo polotil otazku:

V2STNix — WEST, TI MM

"A co jsi kikal na onen dopis, kde stab°, to delegati do priAtich sjezdil budou voleni v distriktnich schilzich?" Vysvetloval jsem, ze delegati do sjezdu, kterY bude konan v Temple v roku 1956 nemohou bYti voleni jinak net jak je na,znaeeno Ye stanovach. Jak budou provadeny volby do sjezdu pozdejSlch, at tfeba nas obou zde vice nebude, to bude zaleteti na prigtim upraveni stanov.

Zdalo se, ze nebyl fipine spokojen s mou odpovedi, protote se pta.1, co soudim o takovem zatizeni, zda bylo by to Jednote prospe gne nebo gkodlive. Dal jsem mu napted vylVbavou odpoved', ale kdyt znovu chtel znati me smy gleni, vysvetlil jsem mu, to nektere bratrske spolky maji podobne zatizeni, eimt napodobuji arneric14 z'pasob mistnich precinktfi, statnich konvenci a narodnich konvenci, kde se navrhuje president SpojenSTh state. Ma, tento zpfisob sve dhody a, take sve vady. 2acinST lidsky potadek neni dokonal, aby na nem nebyla nejaka nevSrhoda.

Pro lepgi pochopeni, vysvettim zde, jak nektere bratrske spolky provadeji volbu delegatti do sjezdu. Jako na ge SPJST, take i jine spolky ,maji mistni rady s rozmaniqm poetem Clem. V nektere bratrske jednote mistni spolek, kted nema dostateenSt poeet elena, nekde 15, jinde 21, jinde 50, ba dokonce 100 elenti, nemate si voliti sveho delegata. Ale bud' spOlky samy, nebo pod dozorem nektereho dozorce, teditele nebo vrchniho ritednika, ptipoji svaj pooet Clem k jinemu spolku, a voli si jednoho spoleeneho delegata do sjezdu. Jista bratrska jednota nedovoli mistnimu spolku tadne zastoupeni ye sjezdu, jestli spolek nema jedenadvacet elenii.

Jitia bratrska jednota je dosti pkisna na volbu delegatti. Ma ye sdch stanovach nasledujici .zpasob, jak se delegati do sjezdu voli: KatdSr mistni tad, kted ma vgechny sve povinnosti vyrovnany za mesic pted drodni schazi, ma pra y° zvoliti si ye :droeni schazi bud' vetginou hlasa nebo nadpolovieni vet ginou, die &v 'oh pravidel, jednoho delegata na katdkch 100 tadnS7ch Clem ye svem radu. Za delegata nemate bYti volen, kdo nenavgtivil nejmene polovinu v gech fadodoh schazi od ptedchazejiciho sjezdu.

Kted mistni tad nema 100 tadnSich ele nii ye svem radu, delegat takoveho radu je volen v distriktni schazi dle naznaeenSrch pravidel.

Pravidla pro volbu mistniho delegata v distriktni schazi jsou nasledujici: Organisaeni dbor hlavniho telesa svold spoleenou distriktni schfizi v gech mistrich radu v distriktu, ktere rady nemaji 100 tadmich Clem, eas a misto schilze 3sou ustanoveney organisadnim vStorem hlavniho telesa, a schfize tato, pod ptedsednictvim osoby, ustanovene hlav-

Strana 3 nim organisadnim vSiborem, zvoli jednoho 'delegata na katd3ich 100 tadnStch elena dle zaznarna jednotlidch mistnich radii. Volba delegatt, provedena v distriktni schazi, musi bSiti oznamena zapisovatelem schaze hlavnimu telesu do desiti drra po provedeni volby.

Pochybuji, ze nUge men gi rady by na neco podobneho ptistoupily. Kdyt by ma1ST tad nemel prava voliti sveho delegata doma a musel sveho zastupce voliti ✓ distriktni schazi, bylo by v patern distriktu jen lest tadti, ktere by si zvolily delegata doma. A bylo by etrnact radu, ktere by musely poslati zastupce do distriktni schtize, aby tam bylo zvoleno tolik delegata, kolik bylo by tadOch Clem v onech 14 tadech. V gech techto etrnact mengich tacit ma dohromady neco ptes 600 Clem, proto bylo by zvoleno jen gest delegata v distriktni schazi. A kdyt je v patem distriktu Best vet gich radu, ktere by si mohly zvoliti sve delegaty doma, tad Needville zvolil by si tri delegaty-tad ma ptes 300 Clem—a tad Pokrok Houstonu by si zvolil 12 delegatil, ponevadt ma ptes 1200 dospe13-Tch Clem; a ostatni rady by volily pouze po jedrrom delegate, kdyt by nemely 200 nebo vice domacich elenfi Tim by na dvacet tadu ✓ distriktu patem ptipadlo 25 delegata, nebo o osm delegata merle net by bylo dle stavajiciho pravidla.

Kdyby ale pfijato bylo ..pravidlo, katc1ST tad, kted ma, 50 tadnkch elena, \Toll si sveho delegata doma, a ty rady, ktere nernaji 50 elena voli sve delegaty ✓ distriktni schazi, bylo by v patem distriktu jen devet mistnich facia, ktere by nevolily sve delegaty doma ale ye spoleene distriktni . schazi: Toto je pouze rovnani, o nemt jsme rokovali s onim nejmenovai*n bratrem, kted bude zasedati na stanovnim dboru pted ptigtim sjezdem v Temple. K toiriuto rozhovoru jsme se dostali tim, to byl ye Vestniku uvetejnen dopis, to ptijde doba, kdy delegati do sjezdu budou voleni v distriktnich schfizich.

Kdyby k tomu melo dojiti, pak bylo by to vice dle americkeho politickeho zpasobu, aby vg ichni delegati bez rozdilu byli v distriktnich schazich, jeden delegat na kakISTh 100 neb na katd'ch 200 Clem od v'Sech radu. Pak by za..s .tupci do distriktnich schilzi byli vybirani z tech nejlepgich domacich pracovnikti, a v distriktni schazi °pet byli by znovu pteaby do sjezdu dostali se eleni, kteti maji za.iem, dovedou mysleti samostatne, a nCjdou na sjezd podtimovati.

Make zlep geni kdysi bude provedeno, ale to ptijde pomalu, kdy ut mnohe z nas nebude z toho hlava bolet..

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR OFTENTIMES IN THE MANAGEMENT of the SPJST, there have been instances where the members have expressed their disapproval. This week, three complaints came to the desk of the editor. Maybe, it is the heat or the atmospheric conditions which influence the people tio give vent to their feelings and emotions.

The editor himself, being just an ordinary human being with all the frailties and sensitiveness, occasionally has the impulse to shoot out unrestrainedly in all directions.

• • IN ANY DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZA tion, it is only natural that the members or the citizens show their opposition and voice their criticism. In our SPJST, being a democratic organization, loyal opposition and constructive criticism have proper meaning and significance. Not the kind of opposition which would throw a monkey-wrench into the machinery; not the kind of criticism which would throw one on a frying pan; but a corrective and healthy criticism and the kind of opposition whip keeps one's moral fabric whole.

• • THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR FRAternal organization is our job, the same as the government of the city, county, state or the nation is our job. Our SPJST has, a representative form cf government, and every member has a voice in the affairs of our fraternal Order. We elect our officers the same way we elect our public servants — by a secret ballot, by our own estimation whether this or that candidate would do the best job.

We select those who have our confidence and our trust. But we always reserve the right of opposition and criticism It is the American Way of self-government.

IN THE CIVIC AFFAIRS, THIS American system operates under a "bipartite" (shared by two) political arrangements. , We. admit it has some defects and shortcomings. Nonetheless, it has worked, and in a way which would have astounded even the old Dr. Benjamin Franklin, who remarked, "We have given you a good government, provided you can keep it." The drafters cf the Constitution arranged for a system of

"checks and balances", for a system of precious heritage of s e 1 f-government opposition and criticism. A one-party can the SPJST rise to its better future. system leads to dictatorship.

REPORTS FROM DISTRICTS ECHOES FROM DISTRICT THREE Grapevine, Texas Dear Members: These lines are written upon the assumption that any member can express his view without evoking any ill feeling of those who do not agree with the writer.

I wish to admit that the last meeting of District Three was not as I expected or wanted it to turn out. It is a fact that the SPJST Lodges in Ennis had displayed a wonderful hospitality, and with the aid of the younger members presented a remarkable entertainment. But the planning, the practical discussion of our problems, the real purpose of the meeting faded away.

Going back home, my son Jerry asked me: "Well, what have you accomplished?

Don't you think that some of the speakers ksplay tunes upon brotherhood only for applause and stage effect? How can the younger members be inspired?"

It was a depressing and disheartened journey home.

What good does it do to listen to the impressive speech of Sister Horak? Or to her sincerely worded, thought-provoking articles in the Vestnik? Or the equally good writings of Sister Hemzal, Brother Jim Barina, Sister Bessie Valcik and others, who try to stir us to action? What is the use of all this when we hear a cold statement that no aid should be expected from any quarters?

It isn't right to reject and to disapprove of every one of the plans that are brought up at the district meeting. And to count the cost of this or, that, even before something new is fully discussed, does not reflect the spirit of true brotherhood. I don't wish any one of you any hardship in life, but it would serve as warning to others, if some of you, who don't want to tolerate even the discussion about the Old Folk's Home, suddenly discovered the urgent need of it either for yours or your dear ones.

And what did we do about the Summer Camp for our youth? Is it something so impractical, so foolish and money-losing that it would be disastrous to the SPJST? A while back, I offered you a preposition that I would take you to visit the home for the old, and also the Youth Home here in Arlington. You will be surprised to learn how many applications I received! Not a single person, not even one of the Supreme Lodge officers! How can we reject or talk against a project, if we have no desire to • learn how these projects operate?

Then, too, I should like to ask you how many of you glanced over the MUSINGS in the issue of the Vestnik, dated August 11? Let me repeat those lines once more.

I quote: • • Let me give you two illustrations from the district meeting at Ennis. A talk was made by one of the members that the District Three and its members should advocate the idea of "Resthaven for the Aged." Instead of picking up the idea and discussing it more fully, the idea was ridiculed as impractical.

Then anothers idea was mentioned, a summer camp for the boys and girls of the SPJST. But again, instead of discussing it at least a bit, the supreme officers announced that the matter has already been discussed and that something more tangible will be presented 'to the members pretty soon.

The progress of the SPJST will be accelerated when the younger members get to be more curious, when they start to ask questions, when they begin to discuss what kind of blueprints we have for this or that. As far as the summer camp goes, there are no blueprints, and there was on intelligent discussion on the subject. To mention a subject and to drop it immediately — that does not constitution a discussion. Any of you may read twice or half-dozen times the splendid article of Sister Sebetka, of Dallas, relative to the summer camp, but if you don't say something yourself, that doesn't advance any new ideas.

The idea of a summer camp for the young members of the SPJST started with a talk between Brother Marek and Sister Hilsher when we were coming back from the Chicago convention early in May, 1953. All three of us had been exposed to some new ideas at the Youth Counselor's convention, and all three of us were asking the same question: If other organizations are so successful with the summer camps, and if everybody is doing something worthwhile, why couldn't we utilize the land which we have to build a summer camp? The only other time this question has been discussed was the statement by Brother Ma.rek fifteen months later that "the wooded tract of some thousand acres would not be suitable for the SPJST summer camp." I asked no further questions. So the matter did not even reach the stage of discussion. (End of quotation.)

• The summer camp for boys and girls, and also for the recreation and vacatin-

ing of the older members could be achieved. Other 'organization have them, find them profitable and are the best type of publicity for the fraternal orders.

But it' takes a thorough investigation, proper information, going over the advantages and drawbacks, so that the next convention would have facts and figures, and not only blah, blab, blah.

Our District Three cannot push everything alone. We need suppert of other districts. And why do we have the district meetings Is it just for the purpose to ptsh the membership campaign for, the Supreme Lodge? Should we do it freely, at our own expense, donating our own time generously, only to hear some of the Supreme Lodge officers to announce: "We will stand behind you in everything, if you don't ask us for money." That's an unpleasant, shockingly ice-cold shower.

What is the use of listening to flowery speeches, if we don't support the fancy words with action? Let us inspect some of the new ideas. We don't have to adopt them right away, but we should study them to find out what benefit we may derive from them.

And, please, don't assail me with brickbats for expressing my ideas.

Fraternally, L. 0. Hosek, Secretary District Three ) • •?. • FROM THE SEVENTH DISTRICT Sisters and Brothers: From Corpus we read in the Vestnik that the lodges are busy preparing a program for the Seventh District meeting which will be held October 3E. Will there be other lodges represented on the pre,gram? The program committee of the district would like to know in plenty of time. Get in touch with Sister Mary Ver'oda, Skidmore, at your possible earliest.

There should be a time limit to hear from other lodges. I would suggest that if the committee does not get word by, say, September 15, no programs shall be accepted after that date. If some one has a better suggestion, let's hear it.

Get your programs in early so there will be time einough -bo have them printed.

Bro. Valcik, in Vestnik No. 30 where you published names, addresses a n d numbers of lodges in each district, I noticed an interesting fact: there isn't a single district which didn't have two or more lodges in one town. At least the address was the same town. Incidentally, in District Seven, two lodges were kind of mixed in print. In Refugio County

ISirana 14 is Lodge Aug. Haidusek No. 150. In print it was No. 107. In Wilson County is Rozkvet Zapadu No. 107.

I can understand why in a big city there might be more than one SP,IST lodge and that is, distance from one lodge to another whereby having ' two lodges it is more convenient for the members to attend meetings, But how about the smaller towns? I may be sticking my neck out to even bring up the subject but just the same I. can't help being curious why in a smaller town our Czechoslovakian people wish to divide into groups. Hasn't" it been said in. unity there is strength? Evidently all are doing fine There is bound to be some good reason why they separate and I feel thereby hangs an interesting story should it be told.

In the first district' I see Wallis has Bratri Svornosti No. 60 and Nova Doba No. 122. Caldwell has three lodges: Novy Tabor No. 17, Rovnost No. 7, Slovansti Bratri No. 34.

In the second district Granger has i wo lodges: Komensky No. 20 and Itadecky No. 109.

Tai the third district Dallas has two, Ennis three, West three, Penelope two, and Fort Worth two.

District Four: Seymour, two lodges.

District Five: Crosby, two lodges, Hous1 on two and Galveston two.

District Six: Shiner two, Moulton three.

District Seven: Corpus Christi, two.

Folks, let's get behind the idea of having our own museum. Let's back Boo. Holasek and Bro. Hanus in their efforts to promote this idea.

No one should blame the Texas Insurance Commission.

"The remedy, as pretty much everyone now sees, is a tightening, strengthening and modernizing of Texas insur ance laws. This can be done only by the Texas Legislature, which will act only if it feels obliged to do so because of continuing, pressure.

"Texas 's /too big, too important and too proud to fail to act in what has become an emergency. We hope that all branches of 'the insurance business in Texas will pursue in a determined way the start they have made toward insisting that the insurance statutes of the state be brought up to the standards which the vast proportion of the Texas insurance business has always met and continues to meet."

Texas insurance is big. It is strong.

It is capable. It deserves the public's confidence. It's just a few termites boring away constantly that make a little pile of sawdust look like a mountain.

Nevertheless, one policyholder harmed by failure df an insurance company is one too' many.

J' Chupick ) LITTLE THINGS DO NOT MATTER Here we are living in the most crucial generation in our human history, when there are great thoughts to think, great causes to be served, great needs to be met, 'great sacrifices to be made: Yet in our • lives we "crowd out the things that inatter'rnest by things that do not matter much." We are terribly busy with trifles. We miss one of the primary duties and great privileges of our human existences—giving the important things in life an important' place in our lives.

We are like buses; we can 'hold our quota and no more: When every seat is occupied, all standing room taken, and the "car full" sign up in front, whoever hails us next, though ne be tile most important person in the community, must be passed by.

One Dollar Fairy Tales THE LITTLE SNOW MAIDENS (By Johnny Sill, Age 10) Once there lived an old man and his old wife. They had a nice cottage, but were very lonely because they had na children. When Christmas came, they sat alone and watched the neighbors' boys and girls playing in the deep snow.

The old man said: "Wife, let's go into the back yard and make a Snow Maiden."

The wife said, "Don't be silly. What would our neighbors think?"

I don't care," said the old man, "I'll go. He got a good start when the little old lady got interested and came out to help him.

They used little blue stones for her eyes, bright yellow wool for her hair, and red colors for her lips and cheeks.

She was so pretty, that the old folks joined hands and danced merrily around the Snow Maiden.

Suddenly, the maiden became alive and danced with them. They were so happy, they took her into the house and fed her bread and milk, and said that was the little girl they always wanted.

She was happy all winter with the old man and woman, but as spring carnet, she became sad and droopy..

The village youngsters had a big party to celebrate the end of a long hard winter and invited the snow maiden to come join them.

The boys built a bonfire and dared the snow maiden to jump ever it: She tried to beg of f, but the boys teased until she did. Suddenly a cloud of steam appeared and the snow maiden was gone.

The old man and wife called and called and searched through the woods but never did find their Little Snow. , Maiden again.

You have heard it so many times that it has probably lost its meaning for you, but it is still true: people who think they are losing their minds never are!

Everyone is afflicted at times by absent-mindedness, inability to concentrate, temporary fixations cr compulsions and sensations of impending disaster. If you find yourself bothered by any of these symptoms, you can laugh it off as being perfectly normal; it they persist, your psychiatrist, physician, or spiritual adviser can probably straighten you out in short order.

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES ATTENTION YOUTH OF LODGE ANTON J. GERMAK Corpus Christi, Texas Brothers and Sisters, It's a long time since I wrote a letter, to the English Section of our fraternal paper. So I'll write few of the happenings in our Lodge.

First, I want to get the attention of our youth of Lodge No. 56, Anton J. Cermak. We are . falling out in Youth Activities, so don't yoti think it's about time we get to work again? Why not all of you get interested in organizing a yotith club here in Corpus Christi? Come and attend our meeting next time and I am sure we can do something. What about having a ball game, girls against boys? Other lodges can do it, we can too.

Our sympathy goes to the family of Theo'. Hruska who passed away July 28 a very dear meMber of our Lodge. He never said "no" ta any favor that was asked' of him. I knew Ted when I was a girl of seven years of age. At that time he worked in a butcher shop in Penelope. That was about the year 1921, my first year in school. Every evening on our way home from school, we would stop by the butcher shop where he was employed. My sister and I would have a nickel to spend and that's where we would stop . Ted never would take the money for candy. In other words, we'd have candy and our Money too. This is a memory that I think of often. We'll miss him in the lodge activities.

In our last two meetings we discussed our annual Lodge picnic and. the pistrict Seven meeting which will be held in Corpus Christi Oct 31. So far the date for our annual picnic hasn't been set, but it will be sometime in September.

The committee will meet and decide on the program and have a report in the next meeting. All of you members attend the meeting in September so that we can discuss the two coming picnics.

Congratulation to Herbert Cabla who is a student at A and M College. You're doing good work, keep it up, Herbert.

Lodge Anton. J. Cerniak is very proud of you'.

At last, the work in the field is over.

The crops were good. There was plenty of grain and hay grown. Also the cotton crop was good, it averaged from 1/2 to 1 bale per acre. It's about time the farmers made a crop. There are many counties in Texas that are on drought relief. Our neighboring counties, Bee and Live Oak, are very dry also. I sure feel sorry for the farmers that haven't

made a crop for the past several years.

We had it here in Nueces county last year. A drought hurts a farmer more than anything else. When he doesn't make money, the laboring people don't have any either, and the business is slow.

Don't forget to attend our next regular meeting. We need to discuss our coming events and also volunteer help.

Come on out, we're always glad to see new faces.

Fraternally, Mrs. Betty Jurica, Reporter •( ) • LODGE VOLNA CECHIE NO. 135 Ennis, Texas Dear Brothers and sisters: Just a few lines to let you know that we had our regular monthly meeting on August 8. Although we didn't have a very large attendance we had a very nice meeting.

I also want to let everybody know about the Czech school that is now in progress here in Ennis The school is sponsored by the local lodges of SPJST in Ennis. It's held at the National Hall Monday through Friday. The classes for children up to twelve years of age are held from 6 to 8 o'clock in the evening.

Classes for those over twelve and adults are held from 8 to 10 o'clock. The instructor is Miss Marie Jandacek from Chicago, who recently taught the Czech school in Dallas.

The mothers, together with Miss Jandacek have decided to have a party for all the children who' attend school and also for their parents. The party will be held August 26, 1954, Thursday nite, at the National Hall. All school kids and parents be present!

We want everyone to be sure 'and not miss the end-of-school program, that will be put on by all attending children.

It will be held on August 28, that is Saturday nite. So everybody be present for a good time and don't let`the kids down!

Fraternally, yours, Joe B. Hejny / • • • SPJST SLOVANSKA LIPA 66 Waco, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters, We held our last meeting on Sunday, August 15, at, Linden Park, with twenty members and seven guests present.

After the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, each member present at, our July meeting, the first ever held on our own property, signed the official copy. It was felt that in future years it would be interesting

to have a record of those 'members' who were present for the occasion: Our Sick Committee reported ' that' Brother Ed Mazanec has been released- from the hospital and is doing' nicely -at his home. He is able to be al:Out soiti'd'' in his wheelchair. Our older meini4er8 were reported to be doing fine. Brother and Sister Roman Parma 'visited' in 'the' home of Sister Pauline Dusek in Banning, California and reported she Was getting along very well and is enjoying her nice home there.

Brother and Sister Roman Parma reported they had a very nice trip - to California and other points of interest.

Brother Parma is very interested in pho-' tography as a hobby and later plans-to show films on the highlights of their. trip as a part of intertainment for our" youth. Sister Libbie Parma was nominated a assistant to our youth counselor.

Greetings were extended 'to four mem-• bers of our Birthday Club. Rose ,Arin-.4 Narovec, Mrs. Janie Mazanec. Mr. W.-A, Zebro, and Alton Harms. Greeting cards will be sent to those members living out of town and unable to 'attend meetings) Our ChristmaS party will be held at the Cameron Park Clubhouse on Wed-in the evening. nesday, December It was decided that the building committee would check on possibilities of getting lights to our park area. Also plans for our hall were discussed . and the building committee, or other meal-, bers who have drawn up plans„will pre-sent them at our next meeting.

Our next regular . meeting, which will be a special event celebrating/ our 48th year, will be held on Sunday, September 19th, at Linden Park.

Fraternally yours, Emma Ceska )• • LODGE ROZKVET ZAPADI.t NO. 107 Floresville, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: Here I am again with a• few lines to correct a slight mistake in my last letter, that is regarding our next dance, I 'wrote it would be August 28th, but . instead it will be . August 29th, so don't forget.

Our last meeting was Sunday, Aug: 8.

All the members present decided to have a membership get-together or picnic at next month's meeting which will be held as usual, the second Sunday of the month, Sept. 12th. The get-together Will be at the river bottom at Brother John Pavliska's. We will have a picnic dinner, then a meeting will be held and after

Wednesday, August 25, 1954 that everybody will be free to enjoy himself at will.

Each member is asked to bring enough eats for his or her family; also bring enough plates, knives and forks for your family. The drinkS will be taken care of by a few Brothers; so don't worry about refreshments — just eats, that's all. So let's see if all Lodge Rozkvet Zapadu No. 107 members can come and enjoy themselves.

Hoping to see all of you next meeting, I remain, as ever, Fraternally yours, Julia Vaclavik, Reporter ) •( SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM Dallas, Texas Dear Sisters and Brothers: On behalf of our Softball team, principally consisting of members of Lodge Pokrok 84 and some members of Lodge Jaro 130, we wish to take this opportunity and thank all members of our Lodges and also the following business firms' Ruclolph's Market and Sausage Factory Columbia Packing Company, Vita's Garage, Ross Avenue Ignition Service, Vita's Grocery, Otto Janousek Auto Co., Mary's Beauty Shop, Adamcik's Appliance and Auto Store, Bob Rush Texaco Service Station, Art Sheet Metal and Model Works, Kutils Upholstering, Stewart's Texaco Service Station, Marek's Auto Service, Horak Brothers-Painters and Contractors, White Rock Texaco Service Station, SPJST Supreme Lodge, Temple, Texas, and Lodge 84, Dallas, who helped sponsor our Softball team this season which ended with our last aame on August 10, 1954. Your continued support next season will be greatly appreciated.

Considering this being our first season of fielding a team, we regard it as a very enjoyable and successful one.

The first half of the season we did not fare too well as we finished in third place. The second half of the season was a different story as our boys displayed the determination and spirit which it takes to win by finishing in first place.

This necessitated a playoff for t h e League Championship between the first half winner, Southland Life Insurance and the second half winner, our own SP JST Fraternal Insurance. Our team cane through with one of their best games and won the League Championship and a trophy as well as a spot in the Dallas City Championship Playoffs. In the City playoffs, our team was eliminated by a very strong Baylor Dental College team and thus a successful season was concluded with this game.

V STNIK WEST,, TEXAS

throughout the season. Your loyal support was deeply appreciated. We also want to thank all members of our team for their co-operation this past season and we enjoyed the association and time we all spent together both on and off the field. Thanks for a job well done and here's looking forward to next season.

Bennie A. Jarma Ben 0. David, Co-Managers ) • A, • I IIVEZDA TEXASU LODGE NO. 47 Temple, Texas Dear Friends: First, I wish *to correct my error in my last letter. We will have the 100 year party for Grandpa Motl at our lodge on Sunday, September 5. It seems that Brother Valcik did not notice it either for he put it into the calendar the same way I did. The reason why I made such a blunder is because I looked at a July calendar. Time goes by so fast at our house that we don't even have time to turn the sheets on the calendar. So let's all remember that it's Sunday, September 5 beginning with cur regular meeting time which is 1:30 p. rn. Everybody come and I am sure you will enjoy the program. Most of this program will be in Czech but we will have enough English for those who do not understand Czech to enjoy it just as well.

Again I am asking and urging all of you who come to the party bring a dish of food anything you wish to prepare will be apprecia ted. The lodge and Motl family will see to it that there is enough meat, bread and drinks.

I guess by now most of you are taking your bending-over exercises. We have been at it almost three weeks. I'll be glad when we throw the last sack on the trailer. This year it is not very bad because I don't think it was very hot. Oh, maybe two or three days. were rather hot, but I don't think it's as hot as last year.

I think I had better go and se about our pickers or some of those pickers never know where to go or when to come Weigh. I don't see why some of . them Can't see that it's easier to empty 45 or 50 pounds rather than 80 or 85 but they insist on dragging those heavy sacks, then I have to help them weigh and I mean that's hard work.

Fraternally, Mrs. Clara Hejl 1 •&• CUI,AK LODGE NO. 165 Moulton, Texas Dear Readers: Our August meeting was quite well Our thanks to the wives and friends attended in spite of the torrid weather. who came out and supported the team (We are all getting accustomed to the

Etrana 19 heat and drought, taking it well in its stride.) When other business was dispensed with, the question of organizing a Birthday Club came up. Quite a number of those present seemed to favor it, hence, pres. Lee JarciSek appointed Mr. J. V. Havlik and yours truly to try to start one in our lodge. Members and non-members are welcome to enroll, giving us your name, date of your birthday and—your age, please! The number of years we've been permitted to live, determines the fee we shall deposit into the birthday treasury. The money thus accrued from this birthday fund, shall be used for our youth activities. In the month that your birthday occurs, we shall observe it at our monthly meetings.

To celebrate one's natal day with friends and fellow-members, lends a warm feeling of fellowship to the occasion.

Therefore, for the good of tire youth, enroll in the Birthday Club.

After adjournment of the business meeting, youngsters and adults enjoyed . several rounds of Penny Bingo. At five o'clock, the sisters hurriedly set out on the tables the good food they had brought from home. Everyone filled his or her plate and fell to eating with zestful appetites. With each family bringing something, it is amazing what a variety and how much food can be gotten together. I think our Mrs. Valenta expressed the sentiment of us all when she remarked, "Oh, we've had such a good time this afternoOn!" Members, please take note! Because the annual Catholic picnic is scheduled for the second Sunday in September and since many of our, active members have interest in it, we voted to have our monthly meeting Sunday, September 19, due to begin at 2 p. m.

As a rule we think of the Grim Reaper taking from our midst those in the evening of their lives, during the cold winter months, but now it seems that the torrid summer weather has aided Him in taking from our community many oldsters, ranging from ages 75 through 96. Faithful old pioneers, such as Mrs. Marie Beran, Mrs. Minnie Key, Mrs. Anna Janssen, Mrs. Felix Pavlas, Mr. Frank Krametbaur, and just last Friday, Aug-. ust 13, our good neighbor, Mrs. Johanna Bal'ak, have passed on to their well earned reward.

Through the medium of the Vestnik, I should like to extend greetings to the Joe Bayer family in Culver City, California and to the Elvin Svoboda's away up in Pampa, Texas. When is that vacation due, Elvin?

With kindest regards to all the readers, I remain Your reporter, Rose Helweg

Wednesday, August,

TWO PROJECTS OF THE SPJST Dear Readers: First, I wish to thank a few of you that have taken up the idea of a Summer Camp and are at least thinking about it.

It's a step forward in the right direction to achieve a goal, that I think will pay off in the long run for the SPJST. It has been suggested that consideratton be given that a Summer Camp and Old Folks Home be together on a tract of land which would be suitable for both. Wonderful! It's two great projects both worthy of your thoughts and which could be worked out together.

I hope that I haven't created an impression that I am for a Summer Camp only and against an Old Folks Home.

If I have, I'm sorry, as I have been for it ever since it was first brought up. But, I keep having a fear that if and when the time arrives, and it is passed upon that it won't be something that we can be truly proud of. It upsets me when I hear people say "it will cost too much money or where will we get it."

Why, or how is it that other Organizations have beautiful and expensive "homes" and they found a way. Why can't we? Ours doesn't have to be as big nor as expensive, but it most certainly should be practical and livable.

A place, that when you would take those dear old relatives, they would want to stay there and would prefer it to living with you. Old people • always feel unwanted, unloved, regardless of what you do for them. But if they had a nice place to stay, around people of their own age and interests, then they would feel that they belong and are wanted.

We, young people, are always being cautioned about spending our money.

That may have been a wise caution sev eral years ago, but our times now demand the spending of money, naturally with still some reserve, so you have to go along with it. If the SPJST is going to build anything, I don't care if it is an Old Folks Home or a Summer Camp, each and everyone should just stop and think a minute that if they would like to, live there or visit there. If all would do that, then there would be no question whatsoever about finances — A WAY WOULD BE FOUND. Here are a few of my ideas relative to an Old Folks Home. I'm putting mine down on paper for you to read, and if you don't like mine, then let's see what you have in mind. Your ideas are probably twice as good as mine. Don't just say we should have one and leave it up to somebody else, let's see what you think.

An Old Folks Home, in my opinion,

should be a HOME first, It should be located at a place easily accessible by all means of public transportation, local or long distance. Also close enough to a town, whether large or small, so it would be convenient to get to, to either shop or attend a Church of their choice.

Each individual should .have a private room suitable and convenient with everything needed to make it a very pleasant place to stay. Heated sufficiently in the winter and cooled in the summer so that it would be a comfort for them.

A Dining Room and kitchen where very satisfying meals could be nrepared and served (and perhaps even an opportunity to raid the ice box, if they so desired) so that no one would ever complain of not getting enough to eat. A small first aid dispensary, with a Registered Nurse on duty at all times, for any slight illness that might befall them perhaps a ong range plan in the future for a 'small hospital. A Recreation Room or Den, as they call them now, for leisure lours, and then a workroom where they could work at hobbies that they never had time for. Naturally all modern conveniences to be installed wherever necessary to provide for modern living. There are such places as I have described above, if you care to look for them. I've seen them on television and are located right here in Texas.

It would be a very wise idea, indeed, if those that are truly interested in this project to make arrangements to visit a Home, perhaps near them, whether good or bad, and get ideas that are tangible.

These two projects, Home and Camp, are worthy of your discussion. And if you are interested, then by all means make it a point to do something about it.

Things of this nature should be ironed out as much as possible locally so that when it does come before the jezd (Convention) it will not be left to the delegates as a whole. This will accomplish nothing and result in either complete disorder and confusion or one person, usually the very conservative one, will put a motion through that will result in just what I am afraid of.

Either let's build something that we can honestly be proud of or let's forget it.

Podpora, Lidskost, Bratrstvi is a nice slogan on paper but to make it real is truly a great challenge and IT CAN BE DONE. In conclusion, letter writing doesn't come easy to me. First, I have to be in the mood, and naturally have to have a subject that I am Interested in. But when I write, I rough it first, then re

read, re-phrase, re-write, and usually throw it away and begin again. This letter has been rewritten every week for the past 4 weeks and you should see my original rough-draft. I know that after I seal the envelope and it is on its way to the Editor, I will think to myself --now why did you write anyway. I have done that in the past and I know this will be no exception. I can't explain why I feel that way, but my point is, that if I can do it, I know you can. It probably will be a long time before you will see another letter from me even though I might start today writing one to the Vestnik. I really admire those that can sit down, write a letter, re-read it, put it in an envelope and mail it and make good reading. Again, I say, if I can do it, you can too, so come on, let's get your thoughts on matters that pertain to our SPJST and keep our Editor wondering if he will have enough room to print it all.

Fraternally yours, Hattie Sebetka Dallas, August 1954 • 4, • ( Nations, like individuals, are judged by the number of forces for good they set into operation.
