Srdeeni zaehvat, kterk postihl presidenta Eisenhowera, je znovu vkstrahou katd eu na z nas, abychorn si sve veci deli do poradku. Srdeeni zachvaty nedavaji vystrahu. President Eisenhower byl pod stalYrn lekarskkin dohledem. Ne snad te by byl nemocnk, ale kvilli jistoCC, aby nebyl. Jeho strava byla predepisovana. jeho osobnim lekarem. Jeho yeha byla zjig tena katclk tYden. Krorne toho, katclYch Aest mesicu byl president p.Ddroben diikladne lekarske prohlidce, ktera trvala dva dny a pri ktere se vystridalo obyeejne devet lekaru. Pied nekolika tYdny mel president prohlidku, ph nit bylo poWito pristroje, zvaneho kardiograf, aby se zjistila motnost srdeeniho ze.chvatu nebo poznala einnost srdce. Vzdor tonau, te Eisenhower mel lepsi lekarsky dohied net kdokoliv jink; ye Spojenych stateeh, piece onemocnel na srdeeni trombosu, cot znamend, jedna z tech cev, vedouci k srdei, byla uepana srazenou krvi.

Nemoc Eisenhowera je vkstrahou i v nagem ,spolkovem tivote. Znovu a znovu je opcikov,i no ve Vestniku, "Kdo na moje OdeSel neni nahle bratr J. R. Kuben0 v roku 1938 jako ()bet' autornobiloveho neStesti. Zdelo se tenkrat, te to otrese zaklady na'Seho bratrskeho spolku. Bylo vyhodou, ze o dve leta drive rozhodli delegati, aby v kancelari SPJST byla price rozdelena, aby alespoeivalo vSechno na bedrach jednotlivce. Po tragickem skonu prvniho tajemnika. clos„dit net uprazdnene misto ponicenik 1, kterk byl s veSkerou praci v Ustredi dolire obeznamen. Mladk Joe Kubena, syn 1 ajemnika, vypomahal svemu otci po mnoho let, a proto mohli jsme se na nej Upine spolehnout, protote ,jsme jeho kvalifikace znali.

Pied necelyini dvema lety odegel hie mistapredseda Frank Sva_dleriak, je' den z nejproziravejSich firednikn, jake ho SPJST niele. NaSli jsme opet nahradu v Janu A. Kubenovi, jinem synu bkvaleho tajenmika. kekneme, ze vedeni naSeho bratrskeho spolku nepriko z rovnoveby, te vSe beti jako drive. Snad ano.

Ale nesmime zapominat, te to jsou vkstratna znameni ktera nesinime ignorovat. Ani ten nejlepe opatrovank elovek neni jistk, te se mu nekde v cevach krev nesrazi. Staba se to Eisenhowerovi, kteremu je tohoto tYdrie, 14. kijna, Sedeset pet let. Mute se to steti kteremukoliv z nakch firednikti, at' je jim 55, nebo 62, nebo 67. Koho mete dnes na jejich misto? A koho mate na misto nynejkho redaktora? Kde mate nahradniky? Kde mate takove pomocniky,

ye stfedu, die 12. Iiijna 1955. byste dnes nebo za mesic mohli riei: "On to praci zna, on zastaval toho a onoho, kdytAredrici men prazdniny, kdyt jsou z kancel(n•e venku?"

Planujeme mnohe &bre, veci. Cheeme miti iltillnu. Potrebujeme nemocenskou at firazovou pojistku. Opravujeme stanovy. Ale kolik z vas vidi, te to nejhlavnejk, co dnes bychom meli mit na tretejsou budouci iirednici? Nezapominejme, to ti dobri kterde tam /name dnes, dostanou srdeeni. zachvat, podlehnon automobilovernu ai,eSlesti — jit dva jsnie tak ztratili—nebo stanou se jinak neschopnYmi. To neni mallekost. To neni kritika tech, kdo dries Naive slouti. To je polite rozumne iivatovani veci budoucich. To je neco, ;and elm nesmime zavirat oei. To je nejdnietitejk a ,nejnutbkti pronejSi planovani, ktere diskutoveno v katcle distriktni schtlzi.

Co to hude platne, kdyi poSiete na stanovni vYbor dvacet nebo padeset nebo sto zmen a oprav, kdyt ty nejlilavnejsi opravy zanedbate? Co to pomfite, , kdyt presne a doslova naznaeite praci a povinnosti predsedy, kdyt prijde neaesti nebo nemoc a vy predseclu pozbudete?

Namitnete, te mete mistopredscdu, kterk je povinen seznamit s s vedenim Jed:noty dostateene, aby mohl predsedu pine zasta..ti. Uvatovali jste o tom, te tad.ny elovek nemute bYt seznamenk a zasvecenk s firademt do te miry, aby VSemu rozunael, kdyt prijde do kancelate jen jednou za tri mesice, kde prosedi ye schuzi ad deviti do Sesti a pak jede domu? Ve stanovach stoji, te mistopredseda se me seznamit s vedenim "dostateene." Tedy ne vkborne, clni ne dobre, pouze aby to proSlo, dostatecne. To je jedna, oprava.

Vkinneme si dalkeh opt' iv, ktere jsou rovna drilezite. Ptal jsem se jednou bratra 14Iarka, jak by to zaridil, kdyt by bratr Chupick anemocnel. Prirozend otazka, protote miiterne mitt sebe lepiq nernocenske pojikeni, piece se nemoc mute dostavit a orace stoji. V obehode, jakYin je naSe SPJST, price nemilte stet.

Kdyt by tajemnik onernocnel, nekdo jeho povinnosti mush za! nej vykonevat.

Bratr Marek nine ujistil, te on sam by praci tajemnika.;mohl vykonevat, net by tajenmik se pozdravil. Nil ale kdo by vykoneVal tvou praci? ptal jsem se. Kdo by vystavoval certifikdty, s kterkmi se stejne dosti hodne opozd'ujeS? Kdo by vedl organisaeni einnost? Kdo by se staral o detske a ornladinove hnuti? Kdo by opra.vovall adreser Vestnika, aby se Vestnik neposilal zemrelyrn 'Clentim? Kdo by alai zajezdy do organisatorskYch schtizi? Kdo by upravoval progralny, staral se o dhstojnou reklamu Jednoty, .navAtevoval mistni rady a iitedniky? A kdo by za tajemnika podepisoval stilly a eeky?

Ve stredu, dne 12. kijna 1955.

0 vystavoyani a podepisovani &kik nag', eleni mnoho :nevedi. Tu gim mame y e stanovach elanek, Ze tajemnik vystavuje a podepisuje vegkere poukazky a predklada je predsedovi a pokladnikovi k podpisu. Tento zpusob se dodrZoval ji.Z po mnoho let. Je gte kdy'2.1byl bratr ChernoskY predsedou, east° nine volal, bude vicialen z mesta dva nebo tit dny, a Zadal mne, abych priSel do jeho kancelare a podepsal za nej done poukazky jako mistoptedseda SPJST. Pozdeji, kdyZ bratr Marek stal se mistopredsedou, poukazky se podepisovaly prim° v fistredi.

Dnes kaZdY dek nese HI. podpisy. Nevim, prod museji bYt tri podpisy, kdyZ se nektere deky podepisuji predem, drive neZ se jmeno osoby a obnos na,pi ge. Byl jsem koncem brezna a zaeatkem dubna s bratrem Markeni na. organisatorskem kursu cely tYden. Mezitim pri gel mi dek nesouci tri podpisy. Nedavno byli jsme v Kanade. Zase jsem dostal dek, kterY byl spravne podepsany tremi Uredniky a vystavenY y dobe, kdy jeden z nick byl v Kanade se mnou. Tak nao je treba miti ve stanovach neco, co nedodrZujeme?

Bud' nagim firednikfim dilverujeme, nebo jim nedfiverujeme. Jestli' jinn' awerujeme, ,staei jeden podpis. Jestli nemame k nim dfiveru a chceme mit jistotu, pak podepisovani prazdnYch 'deka je piestupovani stanov. Pak na ge stanovy jsou neprakticke a potrebuji jinY system, kde by jeden podpis staeil, jako je tornu u tisice jinYch velikYch korporaci.

V Kanade navgtivil jsem budovu a kancelare bratrskehe spolku Independent Order of Foresters. Byla to gestipatrova budova.. Na patem poschodi zastavih jsme se, eel& ma skupina, v kancelari pokladnika spolku. Bylo nem vysvetlovano, Ze tam se prijimaji vgechny poplatky a penize, ktere spolek dostaVa. Mail docela jine zarizeni neZ my.

Pokladnik prijima penize, vkchno se v jeho odcleleni yyplaci, a on je take hlayou investieniho odboru, aby Zadne penize neleZely ladem. Pri poslouchani vYkladti o jejich zatizeni pripadalo mi, ae u nas mame tuta praci rozdelenou mezi tri firedniky. Led wale by to podrobnejgi vysyetleni, abych fmlne pochopil, jak jejich pokladnik a investieni odbor pracuji nebo zdali by se neco z jejich systemu dalo odkoukat a napodobit.

Kdyi vzpomuel jsem spolek Independent Order of Foresters, udinim ta malou poznamku o knihovne, kterou jsem videl na etvrtena poschodi jejich budovy. Vegli jsme do mistnosti asi stejne velikosti jako jsou kancelare nageho predsedy, tajemnika a zasedaci svetnice reditelii. Byly tarn etyri rady regalti (polic na knihy), nekolik stole, pohodl-

Jedna Cast teto svetnice byla jako nejake museum. Videl jsem nadhernY indianskY fibor. Ptal jsem se prftvodeiho, jak yYzna,m to ma.

Sdelil mi, Ze jejich spolek byl zalolen pied sedaudesati lety pinokrevnYm Indianem. Jmenoval ho, led jmeno jsem nezachytil spravne. Tento Indian studoval lekarstvi v Anglii, a pa svem navratu do Kanady stal se vyhla genYm lidumilem. predseda tohoto bratrskeho spolku, Louis E. Probst, zdeastnil se asi pied dvema lety indianskych obradfi nekde v zapadni Kanade, byl hocorovan jako nadelnik a dostal darem indiansdkY °deli.. V museu videl jsem mnohe jine zajimave a pamateeni piedmety. Lituji, Ze bratr Marek promegkal tuto prohlidku knihovny a musea, jakcd i cele budovy.

ZPRAVY A 0,11 „SY Z DISTRIKTU =,

SCIItZE STANOVNi1-10 Vi(130RU SIDMEIIO DISTRIKTU Stanovni vYbor sedmeho distriktu konal svoji poradni schnzi v nedeli 2. t.m.

Kenedy. Misto ke kone.ni schtze bylo opravdu jedineene. Jak jsem jiZ uvedl drive na jinem mist(), bratr Henry W. Wreak, Glen distriktniho stanovniho vs/born, ke konani schuze dal k disposici celou svoji prepychavou residenci v Kenedy. Kdo tam byl, vi co to je. Nadherne mistnosti a rozloha, kde by se mohla konati schilze celeho distriktu. Sedeli jsme venku na verande, na svethn vzduchu, kde pH. prijemnem vanku a ptaeim libeznem zpevu se name hezky pracovalo.

Schnze byla svolana jiZ na 9 hodin dopoledne, abychom meli dost east na prolednani vSech pripravenYch navrhu na affIt'nu, pripadne dopineni stanov nag Jednoty. Sestry a bratri, na s ynj stanovni vYbor muZete byti hrdi, nebot' se dostavilo vkch 9 elenti, ac nekteri museli k vuli schtizi zmeniti svoje soukrome Je to jiste chvalitebne a celemu jednani to prospelo. A nejenom to, pratele, jest() nem me velmi poteSilo, co chci zde zdfirazniti. Je to opravdove porozumeni, znalost na'Sich stanov a ZiVY zajem o vec, vzorna spoluprace vkch Lez rozdilu. Jedine tak ∎mohli jsme rychic, pokraeovati a einiti rozhodnutl z 99 jednohlasne. Takova souhra kdyby byla vkly a vgude, pokraeovali bychom kupredu milovYmi kroky, kaMil preka'Zka byla by vhly fispeSne odstranena a kaMY problem byl by jiste vyraen ke spokojenosti vkch Menu Jednoty.

K tomu chci dodati, Z'e. do schtlze se dostavili teZ idednici ,sednieho distriktu, predseda, bratr E. Mieulka z Floresville, tajemnik, bratr Jacob Shortner z Karnes City, (pokladnik, bratr Jaroslav Rektorik byl pritamen jako e'en stanovniho vYboru) a reditel sedmeho distriktu, brat' Chas. Holasek z Corpus Christi. Mistopredseda, bratr Roy HranickY z Orange Grove se omluvil pro naval prate ye 'Skole a onemocneni matky. Litovali jsine, 'Le na naSe pozvani nemohli prijeti take tajemnik Hlavni firaciovny, bratr J. F. Chupick a redaktor Vestniku, bratr Stepan Valeik. Oba se omluvili, Ze pro nalehave zaleatosti jsou vazani jinde.

Postradall jsme je, tesili jsme se, Z"e nam v mnohem smeru poradi a budou napoirocni. Velmi nas poteSila pritomnost predsedy Hlavni uradovny, bratra Edw L. Marka, kterY, ac unaven po ceSte z Kaniady, prijel mezi nas, aby nam pomohl pri sloZitejSich pripadech. Mnohe nejasnosti (a tech je ve stanovach pomerne hodne), byly s bratrem Mar-

kepi dilkladne prodebatovany a tim byl den prirehod celemu jednani, Clint jsme i ziskali mnoho easu k danimu projednavani. Tak mi napadlo Mil tom, Ze bylo by kit prospechu cele Jednoty, kdyby vSichni elenove areli prilelitost nekde se sejit, aby cele flak stanovy (ovSem ne najednou) inn byly elanek za Clankena vysvetieny. Pak by nar ohy z nich si rivedemi' pravY 'noel Jednoty a vYznam sveho clenstvi. Snad i k tomu jednou dojde, ponevadZ si musime priznat, Ze znalost stanov jest u nasich clenti podprumerna.

V sedinem distriktu je celkern 18 radii a. z tech pcuze dva (rad Antonin e e r k , eislo 56 v Corpus Christi a rad San Anonio eislo 133 San Antonio, Texas) zaslali svoje navihy. Ucinili jsme vgichni to nejlepgi, neZ jsmie•rozhodli pro nejakou zmenu, uvaZili jsme dtikladne, nalelite vS`e prodebatovali a teprve pak jsine hlasovali. Pokraeovali jsme dosti rychle a aniZ jsme se naddli, blililo se poledne. Nebyli bychom si to ani uvedomili, kdyby nebylo bratra M. W. Mareaka.

A take nejde jenom o vYroeni schtizi, ale Mani my mei naVStevovat v gechny kadove schtize. Ale kdyZ tak neni, pak by inn pamatovat aspoia na schtzi vYroeni. Letos budou krome Utednikti voleni take delegati do sjezdu. Take bude hlasovano o dodatcich k naMm domdeirn pravidlum, nebo o zmenach a o jinlYch dfilelitYch vecech.

Tak vas, Zadam, abyste se zfleastnili. Jen hlasy Mend davaji nara direktivu, co a jak se ma. jednat.

V posledni sehfizi byli zvoleni tri eleni jako nominaeni vYbor. Jsou to nasledujici: 8tepan Valeik, Don Earl a Jan J. Bravenec. Jejich povinnost je zjistit, kdo z radovYch Mena byl by ochotnY prijmout arad nebo praci na, vYboru, a take kdo by mohl zastupovat na.S" rad na sjezdu jako delegat.

Jen piste, je to dobf:e vie do to doby probrat, eas do sjezdu se kaZdYm dnem blili. Tez mne to neabych se neozval a nejakY ten svilj nahled nepodal, treba o torn milionku, prebiranem jak ho utratit. Nektere asi hnete nebo mrzi. Nejsem, jak se pravi lakomcem, ale vefim v getrnost, jak piie br. J. P. Nedbalek, "Hold on to the surplus". tpine s nim souhlasim, neb ten surplus nam mute nekdy skuteene bYt dobrY. Nejsem proti tomu, aby se z neho neeo utratilo, tretina nebo polovina na dobrY ucel, jako fitulna pro stafenky a stareeky, neb je jich dost, co nevi kam hlavu polait na stara kolena. Hlavnim by bylo, ji na dobrem miste zbudovat. Vydr'Zovat by se mohla temi pacienty. Odkazali by tarn svoji starobni pensi, social security, pojistne v SPJST nebo i jine pojigteni, ktere by meli, to by stall°.

Mohlo by se zvedet, jak to line utulnyridi, jako Hermann Sons v Comfort, Texas, neb v Hillje. A kdy2 ma na ge Jednota hodne sveho pozemku, nemuselo by se misto kupovat. I pro detske taboinete by se neco na glo, ale vybrat misto zdrave pfi highway, kde je dobra voda, plyn, elektfina, kanalisace, telefon a podobne. Jsem pro to, byl by to peknY pomnik pro rids.

Jen s tou nemocenskou podporou si musime dat clobrY pozor, dobfe si ji zafidit, aby nam zase brzy nedotrpela, jak bratr Koliha psal.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR SOME FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, I wrote ant article for the Vestnik in which I expressed my idea what we needed in the SPJST for general improvements. At that time, my idea was that the work at the headquarters should be divided into three main departments: administrative, investment, and organization department. My idea, at that time, was that the supreme secretary would be in charge of the administrative department; supreme treasurer, of the investment department; and vice-president, of the organization department. As the saying goes, "Only a fool does not change his mind," I must be a fool. I still have the same idea. I still believe that we should have those three departments. .

Very often a man is promoted to the position of state organizer either by sales ability alone; or by length of service in. selling life insurance; or by friendship, favoritism, or nepotism; or by desparation and urgent need to have someone in charge of the field force.

• • NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE SELECTION of a state organizer should also include some other desirable qualities. He should have energy and drive. He should have some signs of skillful leadership. He also must have the ability to get along with others. And I would add that he must MAYBE WE NEED MORE DEPART- possess above average intelligence.

TO BE A GOOD STATE MANAGER; we expect him to be a man who would be watching out for the welfare and good work of everybody under his superVision; a man to whom the local organ, izers could go with their problems; someone who would assure them that everything is going to be all right if only they follow the instructions plans and suggestions; someone who would not be stingy with a word of praise or a pat on the back. And one other quality a good state organizer should have: he should be open to the ideas of others.

Everyone likes to win his point and have the feeling that his idea was adopted.

• • WOULD A SUPERSALESMAN MAKE a good state organizer? He' may, if he has other characteristics anki , qualifications. At the present growth of the SP JET, we need good salesmen, hot we also need someone who would outline and suggest new ways to secure more members and greater volume of new insur,once. The full burden of maintaining, selecting, and training good local organ-, izers must be placed entirely on some person, or some officer at the headquarters. That is the duty of the organi-, zation department.

OUR GREATEST NEED, AS FAR AS the organization department is concerned, is to find and train good local organizers, and also give to those who are good workers additional training. We still have a long way to go before our average organizer can be considered a professional person. Too often, when our organizers are asked what they sell and they reply "SPJST insurance", they usually receive a voiceless expression from a prospect which would look well on Mortimer Snerd.

• • ONE, OF THE GREATEST ASSETS we have is our organization department.

But we need to improve it. There is still too much confusion existing among us about the way we should make it more efficient. It is my honest opinion that our organization department must be handled as proficiently and as progressively as our investment department or our bookkeeping department.

The late Jim Ferguson, a former governor of Texas, once addressed a group of students studying law. There were 42 members in the law class. Ferguson predicted: "Twenty years from now, about fifteen of you will be practicing law. Many of you came to law school for social reasons or to keep from going to work, In twenty years, some of you will be dead, some farming or ranching, some in the penitentiary, some in the oil business, and some in other things than law."

A check twenty years later disclosed that fourteen members of that particular class were practicing law, two were dead, some were farming or ranching, some were in oil business, and one had been tried in criminal district court and got a suspended sentence,

There Is No Substitute For Work (By S. L. Youngquist) Many, many times in the past we have compared what we think is an all-round life insurance man to the old-fashioned doctor of long ago. The old doctor of years ago, not only was a good M. D., but he was a counselor for the comfnunity in which he lived. He was respected, perhaps more than the banker. And this was in the day before psychiatrists — when people would go to the old doctor, tell their troubles. He was always kind and sympathetic and gave advice.

He led a hard life — he was a man that you could call in, the middle of the night and just as soon as possible he would be at the bedside. Surely we are in a new era in so far as doctors are concerned:. We know a few along that line today — but they are getting more and more scarce.

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES the land in Bastrop that has been suggested for a youth camp and other good, investments concerning all our SPJST members, such as home for aged, winter resort park and site for scholastic education with a large gymnasium!

First we want the land, all of the 1116 acres; then it can be divided for what is most suitable. How do we know, but what the future generation wouldn't even put a Head Lodge on the property, the very kind of beautiful building on plenty of land that we wanted from the beginning and didn't get? All right I know it's no use to cry over spilled milk, but one thing sure, we can stick together and put some worthwhile ideas into action.

The acreage in Bastrop County is situated in, a very good location. So far there have been no cyclone or tornadoes in the territory. It is located about four miles from Smithville where SPJST 0sveta Lodge No. 38 is located.

Electricity and water is available.

Highway No. 95 and 535 with two roadside parks convenient to the land are near by.

There are four large water holes that can be converted into fishing lakes; there's plenty of space for bridle paths, for horseback riding, baseball diamonds Our Lodge President, Brother Alois hunting and almost any kind of sport Vaja, called the meeting to order and be- you could: think of. fore proceeding with the minutes, he Too, since this land is leased, it must told us about our Editor Brother Valcik be valuable. So why should our organibeing elected President of Editors at the zation sell it? Why can't we use the proFraternal Congress Convention in Ca- fits if they're any, for our future? Do you nada. Brother Vaja was very elated and remember sometime ago when certain proud that not only has our Editor land in the Rio Grande Valley was sold proven himself worthy, but has given for $50.00 an acre and then the buyers the SPJST organization another boost sold it for $500.00 an acre?

We had a very interesting and important meeting with very good attenddance. Present were all officers, who have a 100% attendance for the past six years along with Sisters Ann Ward, Vera Vaja, Anna Shilk, and Brothers Fred Voytek and Alvin Melnar. Next cone Sisters Ungrad, Volek, Cykala, Filipek, Walla, Tomanek„ Schulda, Kunetka, Marie Vala, Melnar, Baletka, E'rmis, Knesek, Tillie Kubin, Kelarek, Minnie Zahn; and Brothers Aug.

Our meetings are so interesting, they are attended by our younger members, for which we are grateful as this is what we eed!

visor of District Five Youth, I would appreciate sincerely the co-operation of each lodge of District Five in the following suggestions: I. Will the financal secretary or bookkeeper please get at least five youth members with parents' permission and support toward a youth club in your lodge?'

2. For beginning elect youth president and secretary.

3. Select slogan and colors and flowers.

4. Please put this on a sheet of theme paper and mail to me: Amelia Sturm, Youth Supervisor, District 5, c/, Stefanik Lodge No. 142, 5508 Nolda Stre t, Hous ton 7, Texas.

If you have a youth director in your lodge, this can be done by her if not, after you have grouped the five youth members, get your members to appoint a youth leader or ask for a volunteer.

We need youth leaders in each lodge.

They are the important ones for they actually work with and instruct the children.

This suggestion was made by Brother Alois Vaja and approved by Brother Joe Skrabanek and Brother Valcik. The basis of this idea is to get at least five members if you have them, to be legalized youth clubs. We have twenty lodges in our District. If we get five from each lodge, that will give us a hundred youth members before we have any rules concerning youth activities. Of course, this is only one district. If other districts are interested they can do likewise and assemble their youth and turn it into their district president to be held until further Instructions have been issued.

The Boy Scout organization is the best known of youth clubs. That is because what it is. It started from nothing, but hard work and the interest of parents and folks who are not selfish, self centered, but who believe in their children,. If one group can do it, why can't we? By the way this week in the Houston Chronicle was an article about a man leasing 10 acres to a new group of Boy Scouts in the Spring Branch Area.

The contract read that the Boy Scouts were to pay $10.00 a year for lease, but he would refund the money to them.

Isn't that grand gesture? I think it is. If there's a will there's a way! The future of any organization is what you put in it today!

Our entertaining committee has decided on a Barn, Dance on October 23rd; Sunday night. We are going to serve a Bun Supper. Everyone is most. welcome.

There will be a door prize.

December 21st 1955 Wednesday will be our Xmas Program date, which will be announced in a later issue of Vestnik. *Dearest Brothers and Sisters of SPJ ST, I hope all of you continue to think, work, and plan as well as elect capable delegates to our convention. We must work in unity to accomplish the things we need for our future fraternal life.

Thanks to Sister Marie Vala for writing such explicit letters in the past two issues of ' the Vestnik. I am glad to know that someone else expresses and also acknowledges a similar viewpoint toward the progressiveness of our Order.

My very best regards to all of you and may the future hold the nicest things for you.

Respectfully yours, Artie Vaja Sturm ) 4, POKROK AGUA DULCE NO. 152 The SPJST may well be proud to have a member like Brother Hugo Schefcak, of Dallas. With his experience and good thinking, he is able to discuss the problems and management of the Supreme Lodge. If our Order would correct only one subject by reading his letter, then certainly such effort would save thousands of dollars, that is: To learn how to conduct a convention so that as much can be accomplished in three days as it ordinarily takes six days.

It seems to me that a Planning Committee could be appointed to plan not only a convention but also, to study the salaries of the officers; and, possibly, recommend the candidates to the Supreme Lodge, so that these candidates do not have to be selected hastily at the last moment. I do not mean that the present practice is wrong but I do believe when convention is coming to a close everybody is ready to go home.

In my opinion, district meetings are too long also. The children are anxious to put on their program but they first have to listen to half a dozen speeches.

When the President of United States speaks, the members of his cabinet do not speak.

The Federal Land Bank is asking all Farm Loan Associations to build up their reserves to 100%. SPJST is also in money lending business. When I hear such warnings as: "If farm commodity prices continue downward, Farm implements, cars, appliances and wages continue upward, then the depression of the

VEST

- WEST, TEXAS

thirties may look like a Sunday picnic in comparison to the one we may run into." Should this happen, maybe we would be glad to see our reserves again as big as we now have.

Perhaps it would be nice if SPJST would furnish sites for a Home for the Aged, also for a Vacation spot, but in my opinion I think it should be buildup by voluntary contributions. Then, too, we may have a member or members that accumulated more wealth then they will need and have no loved ones to leave it to. They, probably, would gladly contribute to a good cause.

Fraternally yours, John Hranicky •

LODGE POKROK DALLAS NO. 84 Dear Members and Friends, It's a pleasure to announce that another four new members were admitted to our lodge. We welcome you and may you enjoy your Membership.

The date of the Barn Dance in Sunday, October 16. The Entertainment Committee has announced that jeans, overalls, prints or ginghams will be the proper dress for that evening. For those that find dressing up a burden, this is your opportunity to come dressed "comfortably." So drag out those old clothes and come to the dance for an evening of fun.

On the evening of October 17, th.e Fraternal Congress will meet at Lodge Dallas No. 84. You are invited to attend this meeting. This will be a good chance to find out about the Fraternal Congress. Refreshments will be served and games played at the conclusion of this meeting.

VEPTNTK—

`EXAS

Wednerlay, October. 3 , 1955,

President Eisenhower' Heart Attack One day President Eisenhower, apparently in excellent health, was playing golf. The next day he was in an Army hospital stricken with a heart attack.

In order to give the readers of the Vestnik an informatic,in what causes heart attack and what actually happens to the heart in such an attack, we reprint here comments of a heart specialist who visited President Eisenhower.

Dr. Paul D. White, a specialist from Boston, was called to examine the President.

Afterwards Dr. White had a conference with newspapermen and explained in everyday language what happened. Here is the official transcript of the explanation given by Dr. White: I thought it would be of interest to speak briefly what, caused President Eisenhower's heart attack and what the condition is that he has. In the bulletin issued yesterday we stated that he had an unquestionable attack of coronary thrombosis. There is no doubt whatsoever about the diagnosis — confirmed both clinically and by electrocardiogram.

Now, quite probably, a great many of you know what coronary thrombosis is.

But, in case you don't, it is about the commonest important illness that besets a middle-aged man in this country today . . . Just what the situation was many years ago we don't know, because we don't have adequate records.

But we think it has increased a good deal.

The coronary arteries, as you know, are small arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood. And this is fundamentally, you see, an arterial disease and not primarily a heart disease. It is the arteries that are affected. But they are the arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood. So they involve the heart secondarily.

The process itself starts insidiously in the coronary arterial wall. There are several coronary arteries. The left one is a good=sized artery which has two branches, and then there is the right coronary artery. So there are really three branches to the coronary arterial system.

The wall becomes involved, the walls of these arteries — especially in an Am-, erican male—progressively and in youth and middle age, but do not produce trouble as a rule until in the 40s, 50s or 60s. Sometimes there are young cases.

It is not a matter wholly of aging. But age enters in — the sex, the age, the heredity.

Fortunately, the President has good inheritance — family history — and it is probable that the body build enters in, and there are a number of other factors that we are not sure about that

are environmental, which include activity, occupation, stress and strain, diet, and customs — local customs — use of tobacco, alcohol, and so on, some of which probably have little or no importance. Nobody as yet has made an adequate study of these various underlying factors.

Why do we have so much of this in this country today? We don't know. But the President's condition, is a very common one, and ninny times it comes much earlier. The average age is about 50 in this condition, so you might say that the President at 65 — is that his age?

—is 15 years ahead of the game from the standpoint of that type of illness. But many don't have the condition until they are in their 60s, 70s or 80s. But it may come even in their 30s. It is not just a matter of old age.

When the arterial wall becomes thickened, in a variety of ways abnormal, that impinges on the bore of the artery — the caliber of the artery itself, like a tube. The caliber is dcreased so there is less and less room for the blood to go through. And certain parts of the-se arteries are more affected than other parts. And, as the wall narrows, sometimes the condition of angina pectoris develops. And angina pectoris is a symptom, with pressure over the breast bone.

That is quite common, but the President had none.

Now I know there is a likelihood of some people thinking that the golf he played the day before his illness might have been instrumental in the production of this attack, or the high altittide at which he has been lately.

But I have a feeling — I believe that they have no influence in having percipitated this attack.

We see attacks come frequently at sea level, and in people who never play any golf. My own feeling is that golf has been oftenly wrongly blamed, that those who play golf and have an attack at the age of 65 might have had an attack at 45 if they hadn't played golf.

Well, that is the present status. We just don't know, but we don't think that exercise itself is responsible. In fact, I am of the impressing that it really helped to delay the onset of this than to cause it. Of course, very severe accidents, or strains, may have a precipitating effect, but they aren't the fundamortal cause. And we are still studying the question of cause. Is it diet? Is it too rich a diet? — which some of us may believe there is too rich a diet in America today. Or is it? No one can answer that yet. But it does come more often,

in males as they get old, especially in this country.

Now if with a narrowed artery Wall the blood clots in that part of the artery which is the narrowest, then we have corcinary thrombosis And thrombosis means the laying down of 'a blood eta, which is a thrombus. And the process 'of laying down a thrombus or a clot is called thrombosis.

So coronary thrombosis is simply the laying down of a clot in the coronary artery. And when that clot becOmes established acutely, it comes cinickiy, the clot itself — the disease has been going on for years. I Mean the coronary-artery-wall disease is not a sudden thirig.

That is in progress for a goOd many years, probably before the clot form_s: And sometimes we can diagnose that amount of disease before the clot forms, and sometimes we can't.

So that, instead of talking about coronary heart disease — which is coronary disease — instead of talking about coronary heart disease I like now to speak of diagnosable coronary heart disease, because a lot of us, probably some . of you in this room, have coronary artery disease and don't know it and are not hurt by it, unless you should get a clot from a narrowing of the arteries. Some people go all through life with abnormal coronary arteries and never know they have had abnormal coronary arteries, and die of sometning else — old age, or get run over or something — more easily from that 1 suppoSe. Well, when the blood clot forms in the coronary artery, the arteries that supply that part of the heart muscle — the coronary arteries branch out like a tree over the surface of the heart and penetrate, and the branches penetrate the •heart like the roots going into the ground.

The arteries dip down into the muscle to supply that much more with blood and to take away the abnormal results' of metabolism from the heart muscle.

But when there is a block in one of these arteries, then that part of the heart muscle that should be supplied ordinarily by that particular artery with oxygen — that part of the heart muscle no longer receives the adequate blood supply. although some of it may get in a round-about way through what we call collaterals.

And that muscle aches. We think that is the cause of that severe pain that comes with coronary thrombosis, for which morphine usually has to be given, an part of the heart muscle has to go through the process of scar formation.

Wednefdaya October 12, 1 ;:65 Some of the muscle fibers die, a few of them in the front wall and others in the back wall.

The President's process is in the front wall of the heart. And that is commonplace. And the fibers, a certain number ef, them, die previous to forming in an area as big, as this, and the heart itself is the size of two fists, tne muscle fibers that have been deprived of blood, some of those muscle fibers die and have to be taken away — the bits of dead muscle have to be taken away by little cells that come in called wrecking cells — the real technical terms I won't give you.

The first week, then, usually, after an attack like this, consists of removal of the dead muscle, clearing away for the setting of a scar in a small area. They Vary in size. You can have a small infarct or a big one, and the results depend on the size of the scar — the infarct. And you may have a little bit of a one or a very big one. And so the future depends partly on the size of the muscle damaged, The second week, after an attack like this, the scar begins to form. New building cells come in to set the scar -- fibrous tissue. And after a week of that — which would be through the second week — the scar has been laid but it has not been healed yet. It takes another week for that scar to become strong. There must be no activity beyond that of resting quietly either in bed or in a chair.

That is the third week.

WHY DO POLICIES Li PSE? (By W. A. Knight)

This is an average case, and, I would say that the President has had an average attack Sc this is the usual program in which for the first two or three weeks we would like to have much quiet, nervous quiet, physical quiet, and so on, but not with absolute motionlessness.

And we like a little activity if there aren't any physical or serious complications.

I took two days off from the office last week to go out to a town in western Ohio where we seemed to have an excessive number of lapsed policies. My purpose was two-fold — to see if I could get some of this business back on the books, and also to try to determine if there was any particular reason for these lapses. I reinstated 17 of these cases snd found that there was no one single reason why the policies lapsed, but on the contrary almost as many reasons as there were lapsed pollI called on Mrs. W. She lapsed because she was not satisfied with the amount of her claim( settlement. It developed that she had us confused with another. She then paid me her premium . . . Mrs. M's reason for lapsing was! that she was short of money.

Nevertheless she paid her premium . . . Mr. S. dropped his policy because another agent had told him our policy was no good. He paid the premium . . .

I called on Mrs. W. a wealthy lady whose lawyer had; advised her she did not need insurance. She paid me her premium/ as a good investment. Mr. C. dropped his policy because he was "high pressured" into taking it in the first place. He also paid me his premium .. .

Miss I. and Mis L., two school • teachers, whose premiums had come due when they were away on vacation and failed to get their notices, paid the premiums . . . Mrs. W. had a misunderstanding as to the length of the waiting period. After her misunderstanding was corrected, she paid the premium . . I called on a Miss D. and her mother, both of whom had lapsed because they had taken out group insurance at the place of employment, but they paid me.

And then comes the process of, you might say, rehabilitation, after your first three weeks, a little more activity during the next few weeks. And as a rule at the end of two months or so you are back to normal activity again.

Yes, the first month of pretty complete rest. The first two weeks are the very important stage„ you see. During the first two weeks you have quite complete rest, and then a little activity, although a person is still in his room during the next week or two; and finally the second month. The other 6, 7 or 8 weeks -7- and then back to a more normal life, getting out and around — rides, walks and so on, so that at the end of two months, as a rule, voiding complications, and with an average attack, then that is the usual medical program.

Mrs. C. lapsed because the premium came due at a time that was inconvenient for her. Upon explaining to her that she could; change the renewal date, she paid the premium ... Mr. J. simply overlooked paying. He paid me . . . I called on a Mr. K. who had dropped our policy because he had taken another policy.

However, he paid his premium . . . Mr. C. had dropped his policy because we declined his claim for hernia, a condition excluded. Upon convincing him he would be paid for any condition except the three exclusions, he paid his premium . . . Mrs. G. had lapsed because of a stringent financial condition. She borrowed the money and paid the premium. . . . Miss S. had dropped her policy when she moved from Ohio. She has now returned to Ohio and she paid the pre-

mium ... I called on a Miss G. who had mislaid our notice. She paid.

I think the moral of this is obvious.

It simply points up the fact that many policies are lapsed for a variety of reasons which had nothing to do with dissatisfaction in regard to the policy coverage, and it certainly pays the individual agent to contact his lapsed policyholders promptly because in most instances, this business can be kept on the books and continue to pay year after year. This two day trip paid off because not only were 17 policies `saved, but the policyholders remained "centers of influence" for 'us in their community. In fact, I picked up several new applications on reference calls given me by these "lapses."

RESPIRATORY DISEASES COLDS A cold gets its name from the fact that 'catching cold" is often associated with q)e experience of getting chilled in cold or damp weather. But scientists now believe that simply being cold is not enough to make a person "catch" cold.

To the best of their knowledge the direct cause of a common cold is an active virus, which irritates the mucous membrane lining of the nose and throat. The part played by chilling is to lower the vitality of the tissues so that an inactive virus, if it is present, may be made active. Also the body can be weakened by fatigue, undernourishment, or illness so that it is especially open to attack.

The symptoms of a cold come largely from the efforts of the invaded tissues to get rid of the virus. The blood vessels of the nose rwell to accomodate extra blood. The nose feels stuffed up because the air passages are obstructed and the normal drainage openings are swollen shtit. Extra, mucous is poured out, and the nose begins to water. The tissues of the nose and throat, irritated by the activities of the virus, feel sore and scratchy. Sneezing and coughing are attempts to get rid of irritating substances in the nose, throat and windpipe.

If the tics y es of the nose and throat are healthy or the virus is not too powerful, they can usually overcome the cold virus in a. few days. But — always present in the nose and throat are germs of various kinds which under ordinary circumstances are not nuumerous enough to cause trouble. If the mucous membranes is greatly weakened or broken down by the virus, the pus-producing germs get a chance to multiply, and the thin watery secretion is changed to a thick yellow mixture of mucous and pus.

It is this secondary invasion that makes a cold last a long time. Practically all the complications of an ordinary cold that "hangs on" come from the secondary germ invasion of tissues already irritated by the virus. That is why a physician should be consulted if a cold lasts for more than a few days.

COLD COMFORT There is no medicine which will cure everybody's cold. Medication, whether in the form of tablets, cough medicine, inhalants, nose drops, or gargles, at best only helps , to relieve the discomfort. In many instances they may be harmful.

For example, the prolonged use of oily nose drops may result in lipoid pneumonia, especially in children; the use of certain inhalants or drops to shrink the blood vessels of the nose may cause

Chronic inflamation of the middle ear may be cause of nagging pain, a feeling of fullness or stuffiness in the ear, head noises, and dull hearing. Since chronic of the middle ear is the chief cause of loss of hearing, a physician should be consulted if these symptoms persist for any length of time.

TONSILITIS On each side of the passage leading from the mouth to the pharynx are oval masses of lymph nodes called tonsils.

Another tonsil is located on the back wall of the pharynx at its junction with the nose. This tonsil is called the pharygoal tonsil, or "Adenoids." Acute infinnmation of the tonsils caused by germs of various kinds is called tonsilitis. The symptoms of acute tonsilitis are sore throat, fever and "aching all over."

WRITE. A LETTER TO YOUR HEIRS Every person should, of course, make a will so that his wishes for those he cares for may be carried out after his death. Our courts will then see to it that his wishes are put into effect.

But as a rule your will is too important to clutter with detailed facts and advice to your survivors. It is not the place to tell where you keep your important papers, although your survivors should know. They might need these papers in probate proceedings or to carry on your business. Some of these papers may bear on your survivors' actions.

So put these vital facts in a letter to your survivors:

PESSIMISM IS A POISON (By Greenville Kleiser) Pessimistic thoughts poison the bloodstream, causes stiff joints, and seriously impair the bodily functions. Scientific investigators tell us that thoughts of worry, jealously, anger, resentment, selfishness, envy, fear, have a deleterious effect upon health and mental stability.

Many a cause of ill-health. has been traced to protracted grief or anxiety.

Some people habitually hold in their minds sick and discordant thoughts.

They even gloat over their symptoms, study them, watch them, and talk about them.

Hence the importance of training the nind to think optimistically and conAructively. It is in your power to substitute thoughts of health, courage, harmony, confidence, generosiy and the like for discordant, destructive, contrary thoughts.

If you are a chronic pessimist and have allowed your mend to 13)acome steeped in negative thought, it may require persistent effort to. change completely over to the better way of thinking.

Begin by developing more generosity, not only in the little things in life, but in your daily thought world. Endeavor to think well of everybody. Take a broad, generous view of life and humanity in general.

Soon you will find that your petty feelings, absurd fancies, and trivial grievances have been supplanted by a host of broad, generous, optimistic thoughts, Faith is a powerful factor in building and maintaining good health. Thoroughly believe in your ability to keep yourself well by means of healthful, harmonious, happy thinking.

The pessimist asks doubtingly, "Is there any milk in that pitcher?" The optimist says asuringly, "Please pass the cream!"

The pessimist says despairingly, "The world is overstocked with everything."

The optimist exclaims, "There are some things that the world has never enough of—and that it is always willing to pay for—honesty, intelligence, courage, and constructive ideas."

Never allow yourself to be upset by either abuse or praise. Keep a tight rein on your emotions. Realize the value of silence when inclined to provocation. The silent man is the strong man and wins all along the line.

Resolve to live today your best, brightest, truest, most wholesome life. Health, happiness, power and usefulness are

yours if you will have it so. Think right and your life will be right.

But you may say, "That is all very well in theory. My case is different and my problems are deep-rooted and difficult to solve."

All the more reason why you should give these suggestions a fair trial. It is reasonable to think that what they have done for so many others they will do for you.

Careless, indifferent, negative thoughts are perilous, and some times fatal. Let your thoughts, ambitions, and ideals be cheerful and positive and your life will be wholesome, happy, healthy, and beautiful. Think clean, healthy, constructive thoughts, and your body will be correspondingly strong and well. ) • ,,•„ • ENGLISH CONFUSION Nothing added more confusion to the English language than the old custom of many a family, here and in Britain, of retaining the spelling of the surname after adopting a new and inconssitent way of pronouncing it. Among their descendants today, for instance, Carroll is the pronunciation for Callowhill, Chumly for Cholmondeley, Granger for Crenshawe, Sinjin for St. John, Sillinger for St. Leger, Tolliver for Taliaferro, and Trosley for Trotterscliffe. ) • et, The teacher in a little backwoods school was at the blackboard explaining arithmetic problems, and was delighted to see that the gangling lad, her dullest pupil, was giving slack-jawed attention.

Her happy thought was that, at last, he was beginning to understand. So when she had finished, she said to him. "You were so interested, Cicero, that I'm certain you want to ask more questions."

"Yes'm," drawled Cicero. "I got one to ask—where do them figures go when you rub 'em out?" ) • 4 • ( One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon—instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.—Dale Carnegie. ) ,g,„ • ( Two men were discussing their status in life. "I started out on the theory that the world had an opening for me," said one.

"And you found it?" asked the other.

"Well, rather," replied the first. "I'm in the hole now."
