Toto eislo je venovano skupine nad genYch a stateenYch bratril a sester, kteri tvori rad Slovanskou Lipou C. 66 ye Waco, vlastne v Elm Mott, nalezajici se devet mil severne od Waco a devet mil jiZne od West. fLid Slovanska Lipa zaslouzi si pinYm pravem uznani, pochvalu, ba obdiv. Zatim co jine naS'e tady mou, pomalu kiesaji a umiraji, rad Slovanska Lipa se v kratke dobe tri let zachranil pied rozpadnutim, vzkrisil se k Zivotu, vyrosti a vybudoval si sritj ni domov. Obraz nove sine radu Slovan ska Lips kraM predni stranu dnektiho eisla.

Kdyi jsem dostal fotografii sine pied nekolika dny, byla k obrazku prilolena Zadost, abych se ye Vestniku zminil, ze otevreni sine p •ipada na etvrtou nedeli, 28. srpna, a abych deny SPJST od jinych radii pozval k teto bratrske slavnosti. Napsal jsem kratSd fivahu. Nevydarila se. Psal jsem druhou, kterou jsem rovn'a zahodil. Sedl jsem do auta a jel jsem do Waco, abych vide', abych 5lysel, abych poznal, a teprve mohl plati. Cesty nelitu31, treba jsem ptijel domft a‘Z o pill treti po ptilnoci.

Nap •ed jsem vyna gel adoveho piedsedu, bratra Antona G. lVfazance. Sclelil jsem mu, proe jsem ptijel, ze chtel bych si prohlednout novou sin a tea promluvit s nekterYmi raclovYmi bratry a sestrami.

Fined volal telefonem na deny iadu, oznainoval jim, aby se veeer v pul osme dostavili do sine, ze ptijel redaktor Vestniku z Houstonu, kterY by rad dostal nejoke podrobnosti. Mel jsem dosti easu, abych si odpoledne prohlednul novou sin i okoli, a abych ter zajel do tiskarny a s vydavateli Vestniku pojednal o Uprave dne'Sniho eisla.

Jak jii jsem podotknul, nova, s n neni ni ve Waco, ale v mesteeku Elm Mott, y polovici testy mezi Waco a West. 1Vlesteeko Elm Mott ina asi 300 obyvatelti. Sin je postavena na pozemku vYchodne od mesteeka, snadno k nalezeni, pul mile od drahy, na asfaltoYe ceste cislo 308.

Pozernek je na mirnem svahu, v rozmeru asi pet akru, porosteny peknYmi mladYmi stromy. Sin je prostorna budova, 80 strevic dlouha a 68 strevic giroka. priieelim k seve'. Olen' radu Slovanska Lipa pojmenovali misto "Linden Park" a sin samotnou "Linden Hall."

Zairizeni v sini je prvotridni, moderni, s Prostrannou kuchyni, nalevnou, s nezbytnYmi "rest rooms" pro parry i danay.

JeviAte dosud v sini neni, pouze podium v rozmeru 12 pri 20 strevicich, tanecni prostora asi 40 psi 60:Je ter ponechano dosti mists pro rozestaveni stole a Zidli,

ye stfedu, due 17, srpna 1955, kde se netanei. Odhadoval bych, ze sta y -bacelvnitrzaemcnueja kych tricet tisic, moZna o nejakY tisic vice. Zapomnel jsem se preptati na cenu budovy nebo kolik tad plati za pozemek.

Musime vgak ova:Zit, ze tad Slovanska Lipa poslal pied nekolika lety deputaci do Hlavni Uradovny, aby rad byl rozpuSten, protole schtize nebylo mono konat, mnoho Mend bylo po celem Texasu, v Dallas, v San Antonio, v Corpus Christi, etyri v Oklahome, tri v Kalifornii, a jedna olenkyne dokonce a22 v Ceskoslovensku. Rad ,tenkrat Cita jen 30 elenti, z nichZ asi polovina jinde, a z tech domacieh i kteri bydleli ,poblia Waco, byvetSinou eleni starS'i nea deli desat, kteri uz nemeli nmoho zajmu.

Poug teti se do veci novYch. Dese techto starS'ich elenu zemrelo v poslednieh etytech letech. y radu zbylo jen pet spolehlivYch a vytrvalYch, kteri udrZeli tad od Upineho rozpadnuti.. Byli to John Birneik, Edwin Narovec, Anton 1VIazanec, Frank Parma a Ed. G. Mazanec. Terra° Peti elenum nutno delovati, Ze rad Slovanska Lips dnes existuje.

Kdysi na jaie nebo v tete roku 1953 vratil se z Oklahomy brat Otto Hands; kterY drive bral zajem na, praci spolkove.

Bratr Hana pracoval a dosud pracuje pro Sears, Roebuck and Company, napied ye Waco, pak v Oklahoma City, nyni v San Antonio. KdyZ byl prelolen do Oklahomy, zbylo v rade jen onech pet vYSe jmenovamich elenti. Po svem ndvratu do Waco zaeal bratr Hands znovu brati zajem r organisaeni praci. Vymenili jsme tenkrat spolu nekolik dopisti a tea v distriktnich schfizich jsme mluvili o situaci raclu. V srpnu 1953 oznamoval mi bratr Hanus, ze podarilo se mu ziskat 12 novych elenu, ze chteji mit slavnostni uvadeni a ze do one doily snad pribudou dalSi eekatele.

0 dva mesice drive cleni odhlasovali si v radove budou konat pravidelne schfize kaZdY mesic, jak stanovy predpisuji. Predsedou byl tenkrat bratr John Simcik, ktery apeloval na VAechny pritomne bratry, aby do priai schtize vedli tea sve rrianelky a deti, a aby kaZde schfizi byla nejake svaeina a pratelska zabava. Tak se stab, Ze v zari 1953 pristupovalo k radu 14 novYch Menu, a bratr Simeik, predseda radu, oznamovai tenkrat daldi etyri 6ekatele. V radove schtizI bylo jedndno o zakoupeni pozemku, ba byly predlOeny dokonce nakresy, jakou spolkovou budovu by si fad mohl vybudovati.

K onomu slavnostnimu tivideni 14 nov)ich Menu dostavilo se tea hodne piespolnich navdtevnikil. Z hlavniho usttedi prijelo tudim pet nebo Best Clem, nekteri s manZ'elkami. Z tietiho distriktu prijeli firednici a nekolik organisatorti i s manZelkami. Prijel ter redaktor z Houstonu.

Ve sttedu, dne 17. srpna 1955.

Vzpominam si, ae cestou jsem tikal man&ice, jak by bylo zahodno, aby nekdo ptednes1 ye schtlzi nejakou vhodnou basnieku. Blesklo mi hlavou, Ze jsme jako Skolaci zpivali "A to na ge lipa bude zeMelodii jsem dobte znal, slova jsem dopinil, a kdyZ jsem byl vyzvan, abych neco promluvil k tem mladSim anglicky, vysvetloval jsem jim yYznam jmena "Slovanska Lipa," a jake oblibe se tento strom Slovanu vady teSil. Tern starkm jsem zazpival znamou melodii s nevymi slovy, ktere jsem cestou zkomponoval. NeZ se schtize ukoneila, zazpivali jsme novou pisnieku asi ttikrat nebo etytikrat. Stark•eleni tadu Slovanska Lipa pry si pisnieku east° opakuji, ale pro ty mladk budetteba udelati anglicky preklad.

Jestli se spra yne pamatuji, napoeitat jsem tenkrat ye schilzi tadu Slovanska Li,_ pa eislo66, &elan, i hosty , take 66. Ptal jsem se tenkrat, kolik elenti ma tad a bylo oznameno, ae v onu dobu, v zati 1953, bylo jich 62 zapsanYch a etyti dalk Ze budou ptijimani v nasledujici schtizi, tedy ae jich bude totea dislo, jake nese tad. To ovkm bylo tenkrat, kdy se mluvilo o zakoupeni jisteho pozemku na vYchod od Waco. VYbor pozdeji nakl misto daleko vYhodnejAi, onech pet akrt devet mil severne od Waco, kde nynejk budova byla postavena. Na vYboru tenkrat byli bratti Anton Mazanec, Frank Parma a Edwin Narovec.

Praye v to dobe, kdy se mezi eleny du Slovanska Lipa zaealo mluvit o sta ybe spolkove budovy, tad ztratil jednu dobrou elenkyni, sestru Katetinu Volfovu, ktera zemtela kratce po srnrti sveho manZela. Bylo ji 82 Iota, kdy skonala.

Nemela ZadnYch blizkYch ptibuznYch, jen ptatele a spolkove bratry, kteti ji, poloslepou, doopatrovali. Jejim vroucim ptanim bylo, aby cela, jeji portistalost pHpadla tadu jako zaeatek k vybudovani sveho vlastniho stanku. Vykonavatelem jeji posledni vide byl jeden Glen stavebniho vYboru. Timto zptisobena ptiSlo do pokladny ta.du kolem etyt tisic dolart.

Obraz Slechetne darkyne bude vyveSen ve spolkove mistnosti, aby zaujimal v2dy eestne misto.

Tyto informace jsem zachytil ye zylag tni schtizce asi 25-30 elentl. kteti se dostavili do sine na telefonni pozvani ueinene ptedsedou tadu, bratrem Antonem G. Mazancem. Jestli nekdo mluvi a pochybuje, ae mezi nakmi eleny SPJST nein mono vybudovat Zadne nadkni pro Z'adnou vec, ani pro distrikty, ani pro Utulnu, ani pro nic jineho, mel bYti v one rnimotadne schitzce, kde jsem kladl 00,2ky a kde nestaeil jsem si &Mat poznamky. Ta skupina elenti ma mezi sebou tolik nadkni pro praci spolkovou, ae na nine sameho to mocne pusobilo, ac nejsem lenivY a novYmNun se nevylaY-

v § "EN k -- WEST, TEXAS barn. Miti deset nebo patnact takovYch radii a v nick tak nad gene lidi pro zajmy SPJST, pak by to v nak Jednote opravclu hralo a hodne se pohnulo.

Prozradim jen nektere body, jen poznamky ze v:kho, to vypraveni, jak eleni tadu Slovanska Lipa staveli svou novou budovu. Napted byl zvolen vYbor na zakoupeni pozemku, jeho hlavou byl bratr Anton G. Mazanec a pomocniky Frank Parma a Edwin Narovec. Pak byl ustanoyen stavebni vYbor, do ktereho byli jmenovani: Anton G. Mazanec, Ed. G. Mazariec, Joe Narovec, Frank P a r ma a 'Chris Spence. Zvolna, ye volnYch chvilich, v sobotach a ye svatcich se rovnal zakoupen pozemek v Elm Mott. Zdsluha, ae onen pozemek byl nalezen a zakoupen, ptinaleli bratru Antonu G. Mazancovi a Ed. G. Mazancovi. Bylo tteba pozemek ohradit, vybudovat most, upraviti vjezd, navezti dosti S'terku, postaviti sloupy pro elektricke vedeni, aby nejaka prace mohla bYt konana take dobou veeerni pti silnYch reflektorech. Jak mi bylo sceen° nekterYmi eleny, bratr Anton G. Mazanec byl vSude, pomahal ve vkm. Pomoci jeho traktoru vrtaly se diry pro sloupy, jeho nakladnim autem vozil se stork a jinY material, pod jeho dohledem vybudoval se most a cesta k stavebnimu mistu, on konal zajezdy a2 nekam do Clifton, aby koupil lacine cedrove sloupky na ohrazeni pozemku, a dle poznamek elenn bratr Anton Mazanec venoval stavbe spolkove mistnosti vice dohledu neZ svemu vlastnimu obchedu.

Zapomnel jsem se preptat, kdy ylastne zaeato bylo se stavbou sine. Vim jen tolik, Ze v minule vYroeni schrizi radu byl bratr Anton Mazanec zvolen ptedsedou ae plany na stavbu byly schvaleny, jak je bratr ptedseda sam nakre.slil. Tajemnikem tadu je bratr Ed. G. Mazanec, kterY si vzal na starost vytizeni veSkerYch listin a zakonitYch poladavkil. Lee ac bratti Mazancove, jeden ptedseda, druhY tajemnik tadu, moli kaZdodenni dohled na stavbu sine, ostatni eleni tadu neztistali pozadu. Pracovali vkchni, brai sestry. Vlastne sin si postavili eleni sami. Hrstka nad gencti dokazala, co jinde daleko silnejsi tady by si netroufaly.

P. ad Oita nyni 85 elerni, z nichZ asi 15 bydli jinde, talde jen 70 domacich Clem ma zasinhu na vybudovani majetku v cone nejakYch $35.000. Krome zakoupeni pozemku a Upravy stavebniho mista, ostatni bylo vykonano od kvetna do nynefSka. Vyprayel mi jeden z bratth, ze se usriesli v kteresi schnzi na jate. Ze sejdou se kaZdY weer, Sestkrat do tYdne, a kaZdY bude pomahat die moZnosti. MuZi stayell, deny pornahaly, vSichni pracovali kaZdY veeer, od kvetna as do srpna. Teprve pied dverna tYdny, kdy stavba se

Stana 3 dokoneovala, y eeerni prace so zpomalila a pracovalo se jen iii veeery v tYdnu.

To tiZ aeny jen barvily, lakovaly stoly, police v kuchyni, ba i podlahu v sini. Jejich vedoucim byl nedavno phstouplY hen americkeho ptivodu, bratr L. B. Dungan. Vkchna prace byla zdarma. Bratr Frank Parma, kterY ma ve 'Waco zavod pod jmenem Frank's Cabinet Shop, daroval vkchnu svou praci na zhotoveni zatizeni v kuchyni, v nalevni, vkchny police, pulty, zastivky, °Unita; zatizeni v damskeni salonku, vSechno z jeho oboru co se neda ani vyjnienovat.

Bratr John Simeik, vyslouZilY ptedseda tadu, provedl zdarma vkchnu praci instalaterskou, zavedeni vodovodu„ chovacich zachodtl, nebo jak my zde tikame "plumbing." Bratr Alvin Aeznieek postaral se zdarma o elektrisackt. chla- • zeni a jeho manZelka stateene pomahala. jinYm sestrath v natirani a lakovani.

Bratr Otto HanuS, ac bydlel as v San Antonio, vzal si na starost zhotoveni tacloveho odznaku na prileeli sine, pti vjezdu ze silnice do brany, a tea vkchny napisy do sine. jsem yidel, kolik peace bylo y ykonano hrstkou nad genYch pracovnikti, a kdyZ jsem slysel jejich r.l'Oznamky, jak je stavba spoleeneho stanku te gila, jak jsou na syrIj vYkon hrdi, uminil jsem si, Ze budu apelovati na vkchny nak bratry a sestry, aby prijeli, komu n1°2110, k slavnostnimu otevteni jejich sine. Bude to pro nas vSechny velikou vzpruhu, zativYm ptikladem, co vkchno se da vykonati, kdyZ je dobra vide, kdyZ je ureitY cil, kdyZ jsou dobre plany. a kdyZ je vkstranne porozumeni. V'Sichni pottebujeme vzornY vYsledek, co nadkni spoleena snaha dokaZe. Nepatrna hrstka pet elenn v eervnu 1953 si slibila, Ze postavi rozpaclavajici se tad opet na noliy.

Pet 'Henn nadchlo VSeclany °strain. Snad pohledem na jejich Uspech budou chianti tea eleni od jinYch tadd, kde toho etvrnadkni je tak velice tteba. ta v srpnu je clostaveniekem pro vkchny, komu to man°, pti nove sini v Elm Mott.

Jen jedno upozorneni bych ehtel pHpojiti. Sestry radu Slovanska Lipa se vynasnaZi, aby vSichni byli pohosteni. Ale kdy2 chcete nekoho navStivit a ptijede vas vice osob, ze slukaosti oznamite svYin picateltn, Ze ptijedete, a take kolik vas ptijede. Pomorte nakm obetavym sestram, oznamte jim, ze ptijedete. POSlete jim listek, kolik vas ptijede Adresujte 11stek na tajemnika: E. F. Mazanec, Route 4 Box 387, Waco, Texas. Sestry tadu Slovanska Lipa maji ted' nejvetSi starost, kolik jidla pfichystati k obecia a k yeeeti. Ze slukiosti, a bratrskeho porozumeni, pokete jim listek. Oznanite jim va,S1 skupinu. Oznamte jim, ae chcete b3it jejich hosty. Nezapomente.

Jak vidite, bratti a sestry, ye pied etyticeti lety tad Slovanska, Lipa met myglenku, aby se neco Maio pro zabavu Dle prbtokolu ze dne 8. prosince 1912, "byl dan navrh a podporovan, aby se potadala ma gkarni zabava, ptijato."

Dalgi vyriatek z toho sameho protokolu, "byl dan navrh. aby se ka&ly musk 'Olen dostavil do zabavy, kdyZ nebude nemocen a kdyby se do zabavy nedostavil, aby se mu poplatek za vstupenku zapoeital na jeho fleet do tadovYch poplatkti." Z protokolu ze dne 12. ledna 1913 bereme tuto

Podava Otto Hanus Psano roku 1953 poznamku: "Zabavni vYbor oznarnil, ze za.hava konand 4. Unora ptinesla eistY vYnos $44.86, mimo nekolik vstupenek, ktere byly dany do West k ptedprodeji a dosud neodevzdany VYbor po odevzdani penez byl propu gten s podekovanim."

Bratti a sestry, jak vidite, Ze kdysi se nag tad civil, potadal zabavy a jak vite, v roku 1913 tech pen& tolik nebylo jako je jich dnes! Tehdy se poeitalo za vstupenku obyeejne 35 cent-LA, nekdy a2 pfdak, ale ptece na teto zabave se vydelalo $44.86 eistYch penez, co'Z dosvedouje, ye tehdy byl zajem o to pobaveni. Tento zajem je i dnes, jenornZe aiZ do dne gniho easu si to nikdo nechtel vzit na sva ramena a neco udelat pro ty na ge mlade lidi.

VYriatek z protokolu 13. dubna 1913: "Odhlasovano, aby byl potadan vYlet druhou anebo etvrtou nedeli v kvetnu.

Na vkbor byl ustanoven br. Jos. Narovec, Louis Kousal, Sr. a bratr Roman Parma, Sr." Vgichni tii tyto dobti bratti dnes jsou uZ" na svem veenem odpoeinku. Z protokolu 18. kvetna bereme tento vYriatek: "VYbor na vklet oznamil, Ze nemohli dostat obvykle misto a Ze se bude potadat

vklet u pana Lahviho pi-AU nedeli. VS7lohy ze se maji hradit z poetu ptitomnkch."

Take v tomto protokolu je pod odstavcem 6.: "Telocviend Jednota Sokol ‘ alcla, tad o zapiljeeni sine na zabavu. Povoleno." Vette, bratti a sestry, 2e aekoliv jsem u faclu Slovanska Lipa jiZ 25 let, jsem nevedel.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR YOUR ATTENTION IS CALLED TO three items of interest which you find in the English section of this issue.

SPJST Softball Team of Dallas Lodge No. 84 won the championship. Do you know what that means to the players, to Dallas Lodge No. 84, and to the entire SPJST membership? It means that the team deserves something more than a mere "Thank you", more than a bit of publicity in the Vestnik, more than a mention in the MUSINGS. Do you know what the players of Dallas Lodge would like more than anything else? They would like to see more teams like theirs in other lodges. Or in other districts, in every one of the seven districts. It would give "appropriate publicity for this organization," as Article 40-f points out.

ITEM NUMBER TWO: DISTRICT Three won the first prize in the threemOnths' contest. How do I know? I got it from the minutes which Brother Chupick sent in for publication. District Three won $75.00; District Four, $50; and District Seven, $25. Congratulations to the winners. Personally, I would like to publish also the contest winners, those individual organizers who were awarded prizes, something like I did last year when we had a contest and the organizers secured the grand total of one million of insurance in three months, but I am sorry that I don't have the information.

ITEM THREE IS AN OUTSTANDING event which will take place on the 28th of August. Slovanska Lipa Lodge No. 66 will have a grand opening of its new hall in Elm Mott, nine miles north of Waco. You are cordially invited to attend the dedication services on the fourth Sunday of this month beginning at 10 a. m. Why do I say it is an outstanding event? We will have more to say about it in the next issue. The editor had a little consultation with the members of Lodge No. 66, and we mutually agreed that we would. carry the story with the pictures in the Czech section this week, and next week we shall use some more pictures and tell the entire story in the English section.

He then reported the first, second and third place winners in the seven districts.

(Editor's Note: Appropriate publicity or recognition of the winners would be appreciated. A written report by Brother Marek would' be every fitting.)

President Marek first took up his written report, which he read. He commented On that report and then took up his written report, which he read. He commented on that report and then took up the new membership reports for the first six months of this year.

Ile commented on the average certificate, the average age, the distribution into the Adult and Juvenile Departments, the number of active lodges and the active organiers, which are represented in the report.

President Marek also called attention

President Marek read a letter from Brother Jos. Hornak, President of the Publications Committee, in which Brother Hornak reported the Committee's action , and standing regarding the resignation of Brother Valcik as editor and the appointing of a new editor.

President Marek then stated that he had a lettter from Brother Ig. Senkyrik, addressed to the members of the Supreme Lodge and requested that Brother Chupick read the letter. This letter, after being read, by common consent, was passed without comment.

Vice-President Kubena presented a written report of his official activities as Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge for the second qu a rter of 1955, a copy of which report haV handed to all members of the Supreme Lodge, in the meeting and on which he commented, orally, briefly.

Secretary Chupick presented for the consideration and commented on the various items covered in his report of his activities, 'as Secretary of the Supreme Lodge, for the second quarter of 1955, which report he had previOusly mailed to all members of the Supreme Lodge a.nd explained in detail severaal items. covered in said reports and then presented for the consideration of the Supreme Lodge various items covered by it and especially the following.

Secretary Chupick stated that when he sent his circular letter, as Secretary of Supreme Lodge, dated June 15, 1955, to all members of the Supreme Lodge, that he hoped that that letter would have a slowing up effect on the heavy influx of loan applications being sent to the Supreme Lodge Office lately, but that that letter seems to have had quite the opposite effect as since the date of that letter to the date of this Supreme Lodge meeting there were received at the Supreme Lodge office 25 mortgage loan applications totaling $230,587.00 Secretary Chupick, again, called the attention of all members of the Supreme Lodge to the unhappy situation we are facing unless we desist from accepting mortgage loan application in such large volume.

When the report of the examination, •if the Supreme Lodge of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas, SP,TST, conducted by the State Insurance Department Examiners as of Dec. 31, 1954, was presented for the consideration of the Supreme Lodge, this report was unanimously accepted and adopted.

Financial-Secretary Urbanovsky stated that he had nothing to add to his writ ten report, which he presented to all the members of the Supreme Lodge.

Since Financial-Secretary Urbanovsky, in the previous meeting of the Supreme Lodge, discussed the purchase of a new bookkeeping machine, he stated that he decided it might be for the best interests of the Supreme Lodge not to purchase any bookkeeping machine or other similar equipment, until after the next convention.

When the expense account of Editor Valcik, incurred in, connection with his trip to a meeting of the Press Section of the National Fraternal Congress, at Chicago, Illinois, last month, was presented, this account was approved and ordered paid.

Secretary Chupick presented for the approval or disapproval of the Supreme Lodge a renewal Of a lease on our RMO No. 8, in Fort Bend County, Texas, which was leased in July 1954, for a two year term. He explained that while the old lease had another year to run, that the oil company desired to obtain two year paid-up leases on said RMO No. 8 property from July 12, 1955, for a consideration of $566.80 for such paid-up lease.

Secretary Chupick stated that he made an investigation of the oil activity in the area of that property through several oil companies in Houston, and through personal visit and investigation in the locality where the property is situated and that from, the information he gathered it was his recommendation that the lease proposition offered be accepted.

The recommendation of Secretary Chupick was adopted and President Marek and Secretary Chupick were authorized, instructed, directed and ordered to execute said lease on behalf of the Supreme Lodge SPJST. Treasurer presented a written report of his activities as Treasurer of the Supreme Lodge, for the second quarter of 1955, and explained various items covered by it.

ervation of 1/16th non-participating oil and gas royalty perpetually. Thereupon a resolution approving the sale was adopted.

When Treasurer Kona, pre auded for the consideration and dispoAtion of the Directors, in his meeting with them on July 8, 1955, and in the meeting of the Supreme Ledge on July 11, 1955, the delinquent condition of about fifteen mortgage loans, these loans were discussed in detail, and Treasurer Koliha, was instructed, in each individual case, what to do and how to proceed in getting these loans into a current or satisfactory condition.

Attorney Pavlicek presented a written report of his official activities as Attorney of the Supreme Lodge SPJST for the second quarter of 1955. He stated that in addition to this written report he did not have any other report to make.

After considerable discussion for and against the sale of our REA No. 62 in Bastrop County, Texas, it was agreed that this property shall be offered for sale with the usual reservation of 1/2 of 1/8 non-participating royalty.

When the sale of our REO No. 18 in Bastrop County, Texas, came up for discussion it was agreed to offer this property for sale with the usual reservation of 1/2 of 1/8 non-participating royalty perpetually.

Editor Valcik read a letter from the president of the Press Section of the National Fraternal Congress relative to certain exhibit that he wanted our Order to have at the next convention of said Congress, which will be held at Toronto, Canada, in the latter part of coming September. Editor Valcik explaine that the exhibit requested was to have been a collection or a display of the various material, literature, etc., dealing with and showing the fraternal and charitable activities or features of our Order, and was to have exhibited at the next convention of the National Fraternal Congress and added that since we do not have enough material or literature to make a creditable showi4, that that idea shall have I o he discussed.

Brother Valcik stated that he has not started his work as State or Area Organizer of the Order since he has never been formally advised that he should do so and inquired whether or not he shoUld do so and proceed with the work as State or Area Organizer. President' Merck replied that since it was agreed that before Brother Valcik 'could enter upon his duties as State or Area Organ izer that he would have to resign as Editor of the Vestnik, and that since he has not resigned as Editor of the Vestnik that he could not qualify as a State or Area Organizer.

When the urgency of reducing the number and volume of loan applications that are being sent to the Supreme Lodge office and accepted came up for discussion and consideration, again, it was agreed, that henceforth our loan, a p -plicatonshuldbeconfi taplcations for loans on homestead properties, i.e., that no 'applications for loans shall be accepted and no loans made on any other property except residences or homes of the applicants, until our available supply of funds for investment purposes, is, replenished.

When Director Holasek reported that Brother Rudolph Slapansky, member of our Order, who now resides in California, has offered to present to the Order, as a gift, a number of volumes of Czech history, literature, etc., to be placed in our museum, it was agreed that Director Holasek should write to Brother Slapansky, accepting the offer of the gift and thanking him for and on behalf of the Supreme Ledge SPJST. It was agreed that space should be provided temporarily in our basement for all donations to our museum until such a time as sufficient material may be gathered to set up such museum exhibits in certain part of our building set aside' for that purpose.

Editor Valcik replied that he made no intensive effort to find , an assistant or successor to himself thinking that the Supreme Lodge would find him a suitable assistant or successor to him as Ed itor of the Vestnik since in a. meeting of the Supreme Lodge a couple of years ago, Brother Hornak, as chairman, of the Press Committee, was told that in the event there was a vacancy in the Edr, itorial Staff that the Supreme Lodge would make it its business to fill such vacancy.

Editor Valcik wanted to know, if, in the event he found someone qualified' for the position as an assistant editora, if he would be permitted to hire aid): assistant editor, pay such assistant editor a salary out of the salary he gets from the Supreme Lodge, and if he, Brother Valcik, supervised the work of such assistant editor and laid out the policieS of the Ve.Thaik, whether in such.: an event, he could enter upon his dn..' ties as State or Area Organizer. President Merck, informed him thcit he could not; that as long as he was the editor of the Vestnik that he could not qualify as a State or Area Organizer.

President Marek asked every member' of the Supreme Lodge, individually, 'if . (Continued on Page 20)

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM Dallas, Texas _Dear Brothers and Sisters: Last Friday night, August 5th, our PJST Softball Team defeated Sons of Herman by a score of 11 to 0 in the playoffs thereby winning the League Championship in the Men's Insurance League here in Dallas. We have a very good team this year and our players de- Served to win as evryone on the team tried hard to win every game they played. jt , was a well-deserved reward for a swell group of fellows who were brought together at the beginning of the season and wound up as champions at the end.

The team deserves all the credit as this was definitely a team victory with good team spirit, good hitting, fielding, catching and top-grade pitching. I want to say here that I am proud of you all and thanks for the privilege and honor of my being your manager.

Jim Scoggins pitched another great game allowing only 1 hit and striking out 12 batters in a game that went only `5 innings. Wilbur Munger turned in another good game behind the plate. Leadsing the hitters with 2 hits apiece were Hal Maher and Jim Scoggins. Also getting single safeties were Daryl Griner and Jody Rejcek. Everyone sparkled afield as no errors were committed.

We had an exceptionally large turnout of Brothers a•nd Sisters and friends, who really cheered the team on to victory as they had been doing all season.

It certainly is gratifying to have had such a large turnout at all our games this year, we enjoyed having you and hope you enjoyed the games as much as We did. Our thanks to the wives and children of the ballplayers who were present at all our games. It helps the team morale and spirit tremendously having your loyal support. The get-togethers after the games were enjoyed by everyone and we are hoping that we can get together more often during the off months until next season.

This week marks the play of all the League Champions in the Dallas Amateur Softball Association Playoffs to determine the all-city champion.. Our first opponent will be a very strong Baylor Dental team that we will play Wednesday night, August 10, at 8:45 p.m. Union Terminal Diamond No. 2. If we should win our first game, then we would play again Thursday night. It is a. one-game elimination play and when a team loses, it is eliminated. This same team elimi,„nated us last year in the fiat, round of

play and our fellows haven't forgotten this defeat and are determined to avenge this defeat if possible; and I hope that they can. Regardless of the outcome, our SPJST Fraternal Order will be represented by a team of which they all can be duly proud. We will try our best to win, so I'l give you the results later.

Fraternally yours, Emma Ceska e( SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers Sisters: Last night, Wednesday, August 10, our SPJST softball team won their first game in the Dallas Municipal softball playoffs by eliminating Baylor Dental with a 1-.0 victory. This was really a good game as our team played flawless ball afield.

Jim Scoggins pitched brilliantly, as he hurled a no hit, no run shutout, walking only one batter and wiffing seven men.

I will quote the following write-up about Jim printed in the Dallas Morning NewS: "Scoggins Star as Play offs Start. Jim Scoggins pitched a no-hit, no-run game Wednesday night at the SPJST nine upset Baylor Dental 1-0, in the first round game of the municipal softball playoffs at the Union Terminal Diamonds. Scoggins struck out seven." Wilbur Munger again handled Jim masterfully with his good play behind the plate. The winning and only run of the game was scored by Albin; Vrana. He led off with a bunt single in the third inning and advanced to third as Daryl Griser slashed a screaming double to left-center field. Albin (Bino) Vrana. scored as Raymond Vrana laid down a perfect bunt. This was all the runs that Jim Scoggins needed as he proceeded to mow down the Baylor Dental batters rest of the way.

Leading hitters were Daryl Griser who had a double and a single and Raymond Smith, Albin Vrana and Joe Jarolik with singles. This was the best game so far that our team has played in the two years that we have been fielding a team.

We play again, tonight, Thursday, August 11th at Union Terminal Diamond No. 2 as we meet Dallas Cigarettes who defeated G. E. Supply 7-0 last night.

They are about the third best team in the city, so our fellows have a mansized job cut out for themselves tonight.

I know that they will battle them all the way and who knows, we might possibly beat them if we continue to play like we did last night. Win or lose, I will be more than proud of our team and I know that everyone else will be also.

We had another large turnout of loyal fans, though they had to pay to watch us play, who enjoyed the game and ac-

I will give you the results of our game tonight in the next weeks issue of the Vestnik and I hope and pray that we can win tonight and at least get as far as the semi-finals in the playoffs.

WHAT RUSSIANS THINK OF U. S. a capitalistic system—and are now able to go in for gadgets.

With temperatures in the corn belt soaring to 100, or better, day after day during their tour, the visiting Russians could hardly hide their appreciation of the air- conditioned bus that carries them from place to place.

Said Alexander Tulupnikov, an agricultural economist high in the Communist bureaucracy: "Of course, air-conditioning is wonderful. A man is hot and you cool him off. Who could possibly object to that?"

Mr. Tulupnikov is also frank in his admiration of American automobiles.

"They are so many beautiful colors," he says. "They brighten the streets."

While the American farmers visiting in Russia have complained of being plied with too much vodka, the Russian farm officials touring the Midwest have not lived up to the reputation of their countrymen as big consumers of the Russian drink. On the few occasions when it has been served, they have limited themselves to one or two drinks.

Whether this is due to personal temperance or in the interests of public relations, no one has been able to find out.

Their familiarity with the varied American diet indicates that, as officials high in. the Soviet Government, they are used to eating well. Such things as hot dogs, watermelon and ice-cream sodas are new to them, but they eat these American dishes with obvious relish.

The visitors have been evasive in answering queries about diet in their country, as they have with most questions seeking a comparison between Russian and American standards of living. When Later Nikolai Gureev, a high official asked about the amount of meat availin the Russian Ukraine, was invited to able to the average Russian the answer eat supper with a farm family while the is vague—"enough for good health," or rest of the visiting Reds continued on to "I dont' remember the figure." an evening meeting. As soon as the meal Though Russian statistics on such was over he inspected the house and its furnishings with unconcealed amaze- things are rarely available outside the ment. He was fascinated by the kitchen Iron Curtain, Soviet farm experts in this with its electric refrigerator and stove country point out that in 1928 the averand built-in cabinets, the television set age Russian was getting 40 pounds of in the living room, the food freezer and meat a year. Now, with 60 million more people and fewer livestock, the annual automatic washer in the basement.

"We do not have gadgets in Russia," ration is even less. In the U. S., it is esanother Russian confided'to the farmer timated, meat consumption will be 160 with whom he spent the night. "We are pounds per person this year. devoting all our efforts to rebuilding our That read meat is in short supply in country aftkr the devastation of World the Soviet Union was inadvertently conWar II." firmed by Vladimir Matskevich, top man The farmer, of course, did not point in the Russian farm delegation. On visout that many European countries out- iting a chicken hatchery, he commenside the Iron Curtain learned about de- ted: "Eggs and chicken meat are the yastation during the war, too, and have main diet of the Russian people, but outstripped nussia in rebuilding—under mainly eggs."

What are the visiting Russian farm officials really impressed by? How .do things in the Midwest compare with their homeland? What do they hope to find out in America?

To get the answers, U. S. News & World Report assigned a Russian expert, who speaks the language like a native, to accompany the visitors from their arrival at New York through their tour of the Midwest.

For three weeks, he has had a rare opportunity to observe the Russians at close range, catching their off-guard observations, their personalities, their reactions to the U. S. This is his report.

The efficiency of American farmers is not the only thing that amazes the 12 Russian farm officials now touring the rich farmlands of the Midwest.

They are overwhelmed by the American standard of living.

The freedom of the individual in America is a continuing puzzle to them.

They find it hard to believe that farmers here don't have to run their farms

by Government decrees.

Surprisingly, they are showing an intense interest in the economic side of U. S. farming, especially the profits of the individual farmer.

The Russians, it is obvious, had not been prepared for the abundance of automobiles, household appliances and gadgets that exist in the U. S. for the convenience and comfort of Americans.

Their eyes bugged at their first look inside an Iowa farm home. But, with reporters around, they soft-pedaled their enthusiasm.

But enthusiasm over gadgets, the delight at relaxing in air-conditoned comfort and the continual round of picnic and banquet fare have not taken Soviet eyes off the purpose for which they came.

That purpose is to carry back to their boss, Nikita Khruschchev, a report on American farming methods that will be the most exhaustive ever to be written, by a farm delegation to this country.

Every minute that they are visiting farms, grain elevators, machinery plants and co:lege experiment stations the Russians are on The ball. They hive filled hundreds of notebooks. They% tve cameras to photograph anything that could conceivably add to their report.

The freedom. of the individual in the United States continues to puzzle these Communist officials. At Iowa. State College, during the first week of theinjtinket through the corn belt, the director of the agricultural school was explaining the relationship of the college to the U. S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, to extension workers in each Iowa county and to farmers. This brought a flood of questions.

It was necessary to explain at length that the Department of Agriculture could not tell Iowa State College what to do; that Iowa. State College officials could not dictate to farmers what they must do; that the county exten-^n. workers only made recommendation i o farmers; that the farmers depended LA the market place to guide them what crops to plant and what li p estock to raise.

The Reds, though they obvioli,ly didn't understand fully such a syst y accepted the explanation. However, have been double-checking it from tin.e to time along the way. In South Delta, they asked a wheat farmer whethcr he had to do what the county exten :lc' , 1 agent told him. "Of course not," c,lIn back the answer. "If I want informa t Ina I ask him."

An unexpected development is the viet farm officials' eagerness to details of the dollar-and-cents sid, American farming. They are °veil( when a farmer opens his account ho,,,c, so they can see his expenses and pnc it S per hog, per hen, per acre. They v.., to know his net income, his total f'7:penses, how much tax he pays to the Government.

This concern with profits seems strange to those not familiar with the details of the Communist system. But to students of the system it is peilectly

Straw, 20

logical, The Communists insist that each unit in their system must show a profit for the state.

Obviously, the Communist farms are not measuring up to expectancy. This was admitted last winter by Khrushchev, who chastised, the peasants for their shortcomings. So, if the Russian farm offcials can carry back to Moscow the details of profits made on American farms, Khruschev can set up some goals for the peasants to shoot at.

The visitors are making careful notes on how much individual farmers in the U. S. receive for their work. This is seen as: an indication that they will use this as'a 'guide to set up more lucrative payMentg to peasants who increase their output: Thus it becomes clear to those who have watched the Russian farm delegatipn closely during its three weeks in the Midwest that the Kremlin intends todo more than inject a large dose of American technical know-how into the Communist system of farming. Russian peasants are to get a taste of the capitalistic profit system. It will, however, be a small taste. Mr. Matskevish has said plainly that the Soviets have no intention of parceling out the state-owned farm lands to the peasants. is clear, too, that the intimate glimpse of America afforded to the Russians On their U. S. junket has impressed them deeply. Farmers and officials in the States where they have visited are convinced that some of that impression is bound to rub off. on their comrades when=they return to Russia.

The Czech Educational Foundation of Texas Wichita Falls, Texas In wishing to cii,-3(tu,.1s . the_ formation, of this organizatiun, one cannot wonder why. I see that among the directors there are other writcn-. I wonder what angle they will take.

I cannot but reminesce, during the first World War we raised; better than $100,000, remember the ixizatir at Taylor?

I think 165 bales of cotton donated and today we cant raise Intrdly anything'.

Why? Is it the lack of leadership or changing of titre and catstoal. I think it is the latter, We have become more American, our children ko th) school and When they come home the whole family talks English, and being of Czech descent becomes secondary. Then again why should we expect to be different from other people. Do the Irish speak Gaelic, yet every Irishman- is an Irishman. How about the Germans? There are a lot of Germans in this part of the State, but you don't hear German spoken, yet they are German.

The State of Texas passed a law that unless there are at least 12 students to study a 'course, the State School, would not be furnished with money to teach that subject. We have neither at Texas U. or at Texas A and M that many students who wish to 'study Czech, and if it were not for the Russian language, the Slavonic languages would be eliminated from the Texas U. These are hard facts, but they are With us. Therefore, this, foudation was organized. That is so we can underwrite the cost of teachers at institutions of higher learning.

Please do of get this Foundation confused with the "Student and Loan Fund." One is to loan money to a student, so r at he or she may get a col, ._,2tion, the other to finance and m the faculty.

The reprint of . an 'article proves that I am trying to raise money for another Educational Foundation. The article is self-explanatory.

Knight Templar Educational Foundation About 1923 the con net Encampment of Knights Templar U.S.A. leveled a dollar per capita per member assessment for a period of nine years, several millions of dollars, were collected.

It was later decided that each state handle its part, the Texas amount was one hundred thirty six thousand" deducting our losses, with interest earned and gifts this sum is now "Two hundred Forty Thousand Dollars." Still this is not sufficient, as of today, we are nearly out of funds.

In the interim we have helped to educate 4,738 students of Junior and Seni-

or year. Possibly the most noted is United States Senator Lyndon Johnson.

He, at a, Chamber of Commerce banquet, acknowledged that if it had not been for the loan he obtained, he could not have finished his law course. Others have become missionaries in foreign lands.

We loan money to anyone, regardless of creed or color; therefore, the applicant need not be the son or daughter of members of the Masonic organization.

The moral of this letter is that should you at some future time or now, wish to bequeath or donate some money to this fund please contact J. M. Caviness,faris, Texas, who is. Chairman of theNiTexas Subdivision also a Past Grand Commander of Knight Templars of Texas.

Past Grand Commander Otto Stehlik I hope I am mistaken. Somewhere, somehow, I learned that the By-Laws of the Student Loan Fund require the applicant must agree to take Czech. If this is a fact, this should be,;eliminated.

Help anyone who seeks higher education.

In my opinion these two organizations should blend. Therefore, may I suggest that you support both, for the Educational Foundation send your contribution to Dr. J. M. Skrivanek, Box 446, College Station, Texas.

Otto Stehlik • DEPENDENCE The bread of dependence is bitter.

When you are tempted to let your good insurance drop, think of this. Have you ever seen an aged man or woman accepting hospitality at the hand of relatives? Was it the happiest situation you have ever seen? It possibly was not.

What if this dependent were you?

Think how the situation can be avoided now by yourself all through a little thrift and saving on your part. That's the way to look at insurance of any kind. It established independence. It creates respect for the owner. It is the "deli" to those who would not wish us well. It sweetens the bread of eventide.

"Too many of us, I fear, feel that America is immune from God's judgement,. and no matter what we do, how we think, or how lawless we become, that we remain a kind of 'God's Chosen People.'

This, of course, is not true. God actually has no international pets." — Rev. Billy Graham. ) • 4 Most of us would admit our own faults if we had any.

DOPISY A NAHLEDY (LEA NEZASTAVUJTE ROMAN Belton, Rt. 2, Texas.

Mile sestry a bratit P •ichazim mezi vas s nekolika tadky, abych take pronesla svitj nahled o torn romanu "Sedlaci", kterY Se nekornu nelibi a o nerng nekteri pochybuji, to by se mladegi zamlouval. Ale prosim vas, kolik je to rnlade ge, co ten roman ete? Mne se libi, a jsem jista, to v gem stargim kdo znaji tainneji pomery, se musi zamlouvat. A jestli se nekomu nelibi nektera ostra slova, nam se zase nelibi zdejgi Ono to tam take nebylo tak gpatne, ale ten, kdo roman spisoval, musel udelat nektere ty pribehy opravdu give a nemusel bYt od pravdy daleko. V dobe; kterou ten roman popisuje, nebyly tam je gte rozvody.. Tenkrat lide nesli at do smrti, co si slibili u oltare.

Tam bylo jedno, co se mi nelibilo, gc syn nebo dcera ze statku nesmeli si vzit, co jim se libilo, ale museli poslechnout rodiee a vziti si, koho jim rodiee na gli za muae nebo za Zenu, a s tim todieovskym vYberem museli b't spokojeni at do smrti.

Sama jsem mela kamaradku, ktera v osmnacti letech musela si vzit dedka petagedesat rokii stareho, jako Jagna si vzala Borynu. Kamaradka gla k oltari s plaeem a od (Aare je gte s vet gim narkem.

On mel majetek, ona byla chudobna., tak ji rodiee 'k tomu donutili.

Ta.dy jsou docela jine zvyky a zptisoby.

Tady se vezmou bez rodieovske rady, easto bez vlastni rozvahy v domnence, to se opravdu maji radi. Za kratkY eas se nepohodnou, zaenou bYt nespokojeni, a lined je rozvod. Ve stare viasti mangelske pouto trvalo as do hrobu, treba ge nekdo nekdy chtel si ho popustit; zato tady jsou rodinne svazky pretrhavane ustaviene.

U g musim prestat, ale prosim vas, nezastavujte ten roman. Je to pane eteni, tak jako pamatka na pomery za stari'ch Cob. Je v nem hodne toho vesnickeho ovzdu gi. na ktere si mnozi je gte vzpominame, My staii Ede, kteri jsme ty ry snail, nemit'g eme se tam vratit na pcciivanou, a takove eteni nam prina gi asport nejakou vzpominku.

S pozdravem v gem etenartim Mary Mick. )• •
