Napied jsme se snailh, aby americká vekejnost vedola, 2e jsme Bohemians, Ze

Strana 3 /name pravo na existenci a ted' se matne za to styclet?

Ovgem, 2e ka2cIST z nas musi v2cly rozhodne odmitnout nazor, Ze slovo Bohemians by znaoilo cikany ,jak se omylern stab sveho Casa od Francouzb, ktefi nelamali sobe hlavu tim pfesvedeiti se o pravde a skuteenosti.

Slovo Bohemian jest v gak stargi, jest to jmeno Castile, ktere povstalo z latinskeho "Boemi" jak pravi historic. Zama.pisne, historicky a vedecky jsme Bohemians a mama namaha vymazat. Nestyd'me se za nazev Bohemia a Bohemians a v pkipadu Ze narazime nekdy na Cloveka tak nevedomeho, kterY by sobe nazev mylne vykladal, tu laskave osvetleme jeho mysl.

Bohemians psalo se "Chairs'', co by asi byl riejpiabliZnej gi vSiraz a vyjadkeni nazvu v keel anglicke, kdeito slovo "Czech" ze je zpusob vyjadkeni, kte rS7- se v Ceske fai nikdy, nevyskytuje.

Dr. Joseph StYlor zase ale nazor ten vyvracel tim, 2e a2 do doby Husovy psalo vzdy "Czech" a Jan Bus ze to byl, ktery vypustil ze slova souhlasku "z"a na "c" dal haCek, jako zav'edl i jine znadky pki uprayovani noveho pravopisu. Jestli2e viak adame, aby Ameri6an nebo Anglican vyslovil "Czech", 2e ka2donadne fekne "zek". A aby nabyl jistoty, jak by se osvecleilo slovo "Chehs", ktere navrhoval profesor Nigrin, tak paddal nekolik lidi pouze anglicky miuvicich, aby to slovo vyjadfili, a tito jaksi nerozhodne 2e vyslovili "des". A proto on ie radeji zbstane Bohemian z Bohemia, ne2li aby se stal "des", pochazejici z "0echie".

Paid Up Policyholders Notice There seems to be some misinterpretation of the convention ruling that all paid up policy holders are entitle to the Vestnik.

In this case the "paid up" refers to those policy holders who carried their policies to MATURITY and are now paid up policy holders of a 10, 15, or 20 year policy.

Those who did not carry their insurance policy to maturity and received a paid up policy for that portion of the policy value it represented at that time ARE NOT entitled to the Vestnik. Before writing to headquarters for your Vestnik, please be sure that you are a Paid Up By Maturity policy holder with our SPJST.

PEACEFUL MIND We need quietness, peace, as we need .food and water, as we need sunshine and restful sleep. We half appreciate the growing effect of peaceful thoughts.

While trying to - prepare a letter on some controversial subject be calm, avoid tension, practice peaceful thinking and you will be so much better off in your final statements. Instead of be ing irritated try to understand other people and what makes them the way they are.

Softly I the Silence enter From all striving cease I have found my inmost center Calm and peace.

Then in quietness I abide Peaceful spirit is my guide While I so calmly rest Joyful feel, I've done my best.

Some days our minds will be great enough and wise enough to set a new order in our world which will give us peace. It could be attained this year, next year or in a hundred years. Peace will be won, not by conquest, it will be invented by endless honest effort and maintained, as now we use our minds for the perfection of inventions for war.

• REMEMBER THIS! See your doctor at least once a year and—be safe! A visit to your doctor may prevent a serious illness. He will tell you what is to be done. You owe that to your family, your loved ones.

By the way—will your insurance take care of eventualties? ) • 4,„ • Progress, my- friends, requires constant teamwork and honest and efficient administration. In our fraternity we have that kind of an administration, elected by a vast majority in our last convention, so let's support them wholeheartedly.

G,To o (7_

) • 4 • ( WHAT IS BROTHERHOOD? What do we- really mean when we speak of one another as brethren? Let me, ask you, do you live in fellowship with your neighbor? Let's talk this over: We are all human, we all have our weakness, some more, some less, but we all have some redeeming feature —some way in which we excel. Brotherhood should search for those virtues.

Brotherhood should- be a kindred affection too difficult for me to define.

I can feel it in our fraternity sometimes and we all did, when we voted for our home for the aged. We learned then the joy of doing worthy things together. We are rendering service just When America was discovered, the as it should be. We can do this by loyalty of one to .another and so I pray, Indians were "running" it. There were no taxes, there was no debt. The womour brotherhood will develop.—L.O.H. en did all the work. And the white men ) • o7o • thought (ha, ha) they could improve Let's all remember to Help our on a system like that—and you see Rest Home for the Aged! where it got u all!

Today we salute the vanguard of lodge reporters who faithfully come into your home through- your Vestnik.

These sisters are just as busy as you and I, but they do take the time to write in to the Vestnik and keep- their respective lodges "alive". to they membership of the SPJST. They deserve our vote of thanks and the editor appreciates their help in keeping him informed of lodge events that are to take place in their lodge.

We mention: Sisters Albrecht, Amburn, Barton, Baleja, Bohacek, Fojtik, Fabian, Helwik, Hejl, Horak, Hubenak, Husinsky, Juran, Jurica, Kutin, Laznovsky, aMerlick, Milan, Mikeska, Parma-, Pavelka, Petr, Prevatil, Staglik, Sablaturea, Siska, Skrivanek Silhavy, Sralla, Susen, Vecoda, Vaclavik, Zavodny, Zastopil, Zeinert and Zvolanek.

If, through oversight, the editor has left out some name of a sister, please forgive him, as it was not done intentionally.

These are the sister reporters that gladden your hours of reading in your Vestnik. Isn't this a nice group? The next time you see any of them, tell them how much you enjoy reading their letters and reports. They will appreciate it, I'm sure. They all work or write for the good of our lodges and fraternity. May their work not falter as their contributions keep our readers interested.

The next time if our "men folks" get a little better—up on their toes—the editor will gladly put them on the Vestnik "Honor Roll."

—L.O.H. Thanks and write again. ) • 4,• Whenever you approach a new friend it's not only what you say—but HOW you say it that counts.

It isn't what you try to make your listeners feel so much as what you feel yourself about our fraternity that will mean success or failure of your sale, os-3tlier organizer! )• • Remember to preach what you practice.

Weclnes,141y, April 111, 1957 BROTHERS AND SISTERS! We are not able to give you the entire address of our Brother J. Chupick, delivered at the District II meeting at the Lodge 24, Cyclone Hall, but here is something that we really did appreciate in his address: Brother Chupick said: "I am truly and really proud of my Czech ancestry and heritage and I would like to inspire our youth so they would feel about it as I do.

"I think that this is what we need more than anything else in connection with our youth program, to inspire our youth with a feeling that they come from Czech people in general, and that we d•n't have to take a back seat, to any people that have come to these lands of ours, our new home!"

Thanks again for that, Brother Chupick, )♦4 Great minds discuss ideas Average minds discuss events Small minds discuss people ) ♦4♦( POLIO VACCINATION MAKES SENSE Suppose someone took you aside and said: "You have an enemy who tray waylay you and cripple you for life.

But I know how you can stop this enemy. You'll have to act fast. It won't cost you much money, and it will take only 180 seconds of your time."

If you knew the facts were true, you'd take him up on it, wouldn't you?

Well, the facts are true. The enemy is paralytic polio. If you're under 40 years old, you're a possible victim. If polio strikes, you may face a life shattered by disease and disability.

There is no cure for paralytic polio, but there is a way to prevent it. The preventive is the Salk vaccine. It is safe and it works. Three properly spaced shots—at 60 seconds a shot—gives you protection .

Over 45,000,000 Americans have been smart enough to get this protection. But 60,000,000 in the susceptible age group have been foolhardy enough to neglect it.

Don't be one of the foolhardy ones.

The polio season starts soon. You still have time to safeguard yourself and your family if you act at once. Go to your doctor or your clinic now. Vaccinate—before it's too late! )•4♦(

How to Win Abiding Love Of Your Editor Editors of all newspapers have a deep and abiding love in their hearts for the contributor who always, if he has a typewriter, uses it; who always, if he writes with pen or pencil, makes sure his script is perfectly readable; who always is particularly careful about proper names, so that the editor not only may, but must, have no doubt as to the spelling; who always gives first names in full, and who— ALWAYS double spaces his copy, un8,977,620.87 derstanding that otherwise someone else may have to rewrite it for 1he compositor; always writes, on only„bne side of the papey; always uses a full-size sheet, and always writes just as carefully for the home town weekly as he would have to write for the big town daily.

ALWAYS writes in the third preson; always tells the story in full and then stops—remembering that space often is limited, and also that it. the editor's 7,473,776.06 view it is better to have forty or fifty short items in any issue than ten or 1,503,844.81 more long stories taking up the same number of column inches.

8,977.620.87 ALWAYS spells out the names of all clubs, lodges, schools, colleges, churches, civic groups, federations, societies, corporations, public departments, institution.s and agencies; always writes out all titles, official designations and the like, in full; always precedes any date with the day of the week; never forgets to give the hour of any event, and, always remembers the four essential points of any news story—"what, who, where and when"—plus sometimes "how and why."

ALWAYS writes news while it is news; expresses opinions only in a letter to the editor.

ALWAYS gets all contributions in early—immediately after the event has taken place, or simultaneously with the announcement of the event to come— remembering that otherwise the story may have to appear "out of time," or possibly not at all; always keeps with1,886,354.29 in reasonable word-limit for regularly contributed news-note and gossip-style features; always, when in doubt on any point, confers with the editorial office.

Gene Mikeska Given Scholarship for 4-11 WCl, College Station (Spl.)—Gene Edward Mikeska of Route 1, Rogers, will receive a $200 college scholarship for outstanding work in the 1956 Texas 4-H cotton production program. Mikeska is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mikeska.

State 4-H Club Leader Floyd Lynch announced the six scholarship winners in the annual contest supervised by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

Awards are furnished by the Anderson, Clayton Company of Houston.

Seventeen-year-old Mikeska believes the most important step in cotton farming is the selection of proven tested varieties of planting seed. "Lankart 57 has given the results on our farm," he says.

"Cotton is the basic crop on our river bottom farm and in order to make it produce this year he had to poison every seven clays because of high insect damage," Mikeska declares. "Drouth also entered the picture and almost ruined our crop.

"An irrigation system which we installed this year probably saved us," relates the Rogers High School student.

"It sure took some of the pressure off.

We also fertilized heavily as do most farmers in this area."

Mikeska is a past district wildlife winner and was a member of the 1956 district-winning electric team. That same year he was selected as the county's Gold Star boy and in 1955 was a

Strana 19

member of the county-winning farm and home safety team.

During his seven years of 4-H club work, Mikeska has successfully exhibited swine and turkeys. Demonstrations have been conducted by the energetic youngster in beef cattle, swine, turkeys, broilers, cotton, maize, alfalfa, safety and wildlife. He attended district camps in 1951 and 1953 and for three years has served on county 4-H committees.

His 4-H activities were , culminated last year by attending the State Roundup at College Station.

In the leadership vein, Mikeska has served as secretary of the Joe Lee 4-H Club, county camp officer, local vice president, local parliamentarian, and last year was president of the CountyWide 4-H Club. He is an active church member, vice president of his high school class and president of his student council, and a member of SPJST Lodge 47. ) • et• • (

I have set the date April 17 as, the latest date that I'll expect any material for the program. Time is growing short and there must be prompt ,action and as soon as possible please.

My address is Rt. 2, Box 899, Corpus Christi, Texas.

Thanks for giving this your attention.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Betty Jurica, Chairman of Youth Committee, Dist. 7.

District Three he l d its first meeting of 1957 Sunday, March 31 at Ennis, Texas , in the Sokol Hall and also the home of our SIVST Lodge Wino. Cechie No. 135.

Meeting was called to order at 10:30 a.m. and with the rain and threatening weather of that day it looked for awhile thta the attendance would be light, but gradually folks began to come n and soon benches were being brought out to accommodate them all. However, roll call revealed. that many lodges in District Three were not represented. It was pointed out that the weather did not deter the Houston delegation that made the meeting so it shouldn't have stopped the local lodges in our district.

We missed the Tioga, lodge, as well as the amiling countenance of Bro. Ed Snapka who has always attended from the Mt. Calm, Lodge, Gainesville, Penelope, to mention a few. We missed you —you should have had representation!

The secretary. Sister Rose Parma, read the beautifully written-up minutes of the last district meeting as well as the special called meeting. The assembly voiced their thanks for her splendid job.

The stage at Volna Cechie Hall was very beautiful and someone with an artist's touch made a fence of Paul Scarlet red roses that were very, very beautiful. The backdrop as well as other accessories in stage property had painted landscape and small clumps of bright spring flowers were intermingled with baskets and vases of real flowers now in season. It was not only colorful but cheerful—on that rainy day.

Our genial visitor and friends as well as Brother, Skrabanek from District Five and Houston Lodge graciously accepted our District Three challenge to a contest between Districts Three and Five and then together the two districts against all the other districts in the SPJST family. He promised some stiff competition. There was a lot of good humor, reminiscing about our last two contests and everyone is looking forward to this new one. District Three presented the challenge with the following rules: For each new member the district receives one point. For each one thousand dollars of insurance written the district also receives one point, so that for example: a $10,000 insurance policy written, the respective ,district will receive 11 points. The contest is retroactive from January 1, 1957, through and including June 31, 1957. "We hope that the other districts will accept our challenge and do a lot of good for our

SPJST,” Brother Skrabanek said. "We have taken off a big bite this time so let's put our shoulders to the wheel and write twice as much insurance as we did last year in the same time." There was a lot of ribbing and good fellowship between Districts Three and Five following the rules of the challenge.

Our vice president, Brother Joe Hejny, spoke a few words to the gathering.

"We are not the little organization, that we once were and in order to remain big, we must all work. It takes the organizers as well as each individual member to work together. In each district we have a district organizer now who will work with any of you—just call him," Br. Hejny pointed out.

Br. Chupif.,k spoke briefly N*1"We hope and pray that 1957 will be a' turning point in Our organization. You .cannot be interested in anything that you, know nothing about," and he stressed participation on the local levels.

Br. Harms, too, stressed cooperation.

"Anything that was ever accomplished was done by team work, and not by criticizing."

Br. Geo. Kacir of Jarornir 154 of West presented some thought provoking ideas.

Youth of our communities use our halls.

"We have millions of lollars invested in our lodge halls over the state, but in very few instances do we indicate that the SPJST stands for the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas, and that we sell good, reliable. insurance. We could advertise ourselves by placing an ad in our halls and let ‘nonmembers know that we are in the life insurance business, that we are 60 years old and that our insurance is as good as any other company's that they buy insurance from. You reach your mem,. bers through the Vestnik but you don't reach the non-members—but you could reach the non-members through a small dignified ad in your hall."

Br. Hosek, the editor, brought up the matter of bringing our outstanding young people in Texas to the attention of our membership through the medium of our Vestnik for the inspiration and encouragement of those young people who have just begun to climb up the ladder of life and profession. This 'was discussed at length and the idea was liked. It was suggested that names of these outstanding young people be brought• to the attention of the editor who will contact them for a photograph and brief sketch of their achievements for the Vestnik's columns. Finally this was made into a motion and carried to

,"traria 9 accept our members with outstanding leadership with their origin for the Vestnik's columns for inspiration and encouragement of our youth.

Br. Willie Kudrna spoke very fervently for the youth movement and made sorre very timely observations regarding the handling of our youth. He promised to have in writing a resolution outlining his ideas about the youth potential and what should be done for them in one of our future district meetings.

Mention was made of different districts holding meetings on the same day so that those who would like to attend all the meetings cannot do so.

They appealed to the Supreme Lodge to help them untagle duplicate meetings. It was pointed out that the Supreme Lodge has no jurisdiction over these, district meetings but that it would 'work in any capacity to help keep the meetings arranged so that each district would have a specific Sunday to hold .their district meetings so that those from other districts that wish to attend be enabled to do so.

Lunch was served at noon buffet style by the good sisters of Volna Cechie and Sokol with plentiful and delicious food.

The line was long and everyone enjoyed the lunch and comradeship of friends and acquaintances while eating.

Elsewhere you will find an itemized program of the Youth Program Talent Show. It was superb. One of the finest we have witnessed in many a year.

Some of the highlights of the program: The first number was the Pledge to the Flag by precious, tiny Denese Skrivanek, whose mother must have drilled her letter-perfect. The word "indivisible" was just about as big as she was. I believe she must have been about the youngest child on - the program. She was SO cute. The program 'was presented very smoothly—the children, performed like old hands on the stage. Lodge 84 of Dallas contributed a 6skit by the Teenagers, "A Day at the Doctor's Office," which was a riot! Good work!

Little Cindy, Sharon and Claudia Sebetka, the three lovely children, sang "Que Sera, Sera" in the English with Czech version. Congratulations, Grandmother Antonie Barak, you've some mighty pretty granddaughters! They are from Lodge No. 130, Jaro, Dallas, I believe. Justine Marie (the little personclity girl) and her brother johnniel Pokiadnik did a cute tap dance. They are the children of the Sid Pokladniks.

Their cousin Cheree Pokladnik had a piano solo. The Buttons and Bows Square Dancers, a group of teenagers orl

bed-teenagers , as well as the Silverbells Square Dancers, the little ones took the ca Le. The olcter as well as the younger children (Silverbells) group performed perfectly. It was a pleasure to watch them in their colorful costumes to the accompaniment of the record player "caller."

Lodge 66 Waco, Slovanska Lipa—the Mattis Sisters, had two very well received numbers.

The handicraft contest had a lot of entries of beautiful objects. You could observe that our Czech children are not only talented but creative as well. After the program the judges announced the winners of the handicraft contest for children under 12 years of age with three prizes and for children over 12 years with three prizes. Prizes also went to the Talent Show—three prizes for 'children under 12 years of age and three prizes for those over 12 yeras. To top it all, every participating child in both the handicraft contest and the Talent Show received a brand new dollar bill from Br. Arnold Vrla, district treasurer.

Credit should be given to the last convention delegates who allotted a certain sum of money to the Youth Movement of each district. Then Br. Hejny announced that ice cream and cake awaited those who were on the program "on the house." Sisters and brothers—have you ever seen a youngster who didn't like ice cream—no, neither have I. The gcod sisters took care of the youngsters in the dining room. Br. Arnold Vrla was smiling from ear to ear while handing out those $1 bills.

Please read the program elsewhere in this issue carefully. It was executed beautifully by all. Thank all of you youths of the Talent Show for a very pleasant afternoon!

After the Youth Program there was an election of officers. Br. Joe Juran (Lodge 92, Fort Worth) former Veep, is now our new District Three President, with newly elected Frank Laznovs.ky and E.Yil Peter as vice presidents and Sister Wilma Nesuda as recording secretary and with our Br. J. D. Waggoner of No. 92, Fort Worth, treasurer.

To the outgoing officers our heartfelt thanks for a job well done.

It was so nice seeing so many friends again. One never gets to see them except at such a gathering as this and when you grow old with some of these good people, it's like coming home to visit with them again. What good times we had in our youth with these brothers and sisters in their halls in Ennis, while their dads and mothers still ran the show—now they run it—and their chil

Wednecaloy. April 10, 1957 dren are enjoying the culture and companionship of other good children of Czech descent. There are some faces missing from the familiar crowd; we treasure their memories—may they all rest in heavenly peace.

It was also very nice to make the acquaintance with the Crown Prince of the House of Shefcik of Houston. He's some boy, Brother and Sister Shefcik!

I hope that the downpour that Ennis had this Sunday fills every stock tank in Ellis County and gives you all a bountiful harvest this fall. ) • 4 • (Karnes City, Texas Brothers and Sisters and Friends Of the Seventh District: This is to inform you that our next district meeting will be held on the 28th of April, 1957, in Corpus ghristi, Texas, at the Sokol Hall, undeV the sponsorship of, Lodge Anton Cermak No. 56.

The Third • District me eting; waseheld in Ennis, Lodge No. 135, and was, well attended in spite, of the hadwaether.

They had one of the finest Youth' Erbgrams, a Talent Show, that ha.§abeen had at the district meetings, withmithe of their youngest members, Sistot L 'Sylvia Laznovsky, in charge. They..evried everything out very well. Officers'itor the coming year were also elected . 111d are as follows: President, Joe L.dnitan; Vice Pre s idents, Frank A.

I want to say at this time we want to congratulate our new editor of. the Vestnik, Brother Louis 0. Hosek, 'and Sister Hosek who are doing a very .fine job of editing the Vestnik each ,veek, and that Brother Hosek has some Pvery fine ideas which he presented"at )the Third District meeting.

Fraternally, Jay Dee Waggoner ) o I, • West Dear Girls: I woidd like to pass on to yott,,an idea or two that the Ennis girla,.of Lodge Volna Cechie Na. 135 had„at their bazaar last Sunday, MaFch, their rest home project, that might work in your next money mak!ngjeffort.

Some sister had the bright idea to pot clumps of flower plants from,,,her abundant garden in pound coffee Jeans and bring them to the, bazaar for sale.

na 24 The yellow stocks were blooming, as were the saucy Johnny-Jump-Ups, winch, once they multiply, stay with your garden forever, and then there were some petunias, all healthy plants that sold for a dime. Now you know, in these. times a dime doesn't buy much in the, way of plants, so the visiting sisters milled around those potted plants like bees about a beehive. They really did sell well, so if any of you flowerloving sisters with a green thumb has any extra, plants, pot them up and bring them to your next bazaar. Incidentally, there are several species of cactus that can be divided and that can be grown in the house as pot plants that would sell well. There are always th:a;c, who haven't as much time to sfa ri these plants and deep down it is every woman's God-given right to love flea aas.

The : Ennis sisters made a lovely quilt which I didn't win. Neither did I win either.; th.e cocoanut covered lambs someone baked. I noticed that they also had cakes for sale on the bazaar table.

The crochet work was pretty as was the tea aprons, pillow cases, baby things that someone crocheted and many other nice and useful items. Someone donated dozens of wooden mixing spoons that eveayone was carrying about and, oh yas, wooden foot stools that are the delight of children. Someone with a workshop and a knack made these hand') items that went well.

old members, to be present and bring some of your friends with you. Tranks.

Sincerely yours, Mrs. Albina J. Novak ) ( Corpus Christi, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: First, I want to inform the members that our lodge meeting will be held the regular second Sunday of the month but the Sokol meeting will be held at 1 o'clock and the SPJST meeting will begin at 2:30 p.m. Members can come earlier and pay their dues and don't take up the time that is allowed for the business session.

Following the meetings there will be an Easter egg hunt. The youth is asked to bring six colored eggs and a basket to gather them in. Sisters are asked to please bring their favorite snack as there will be a luncheon served after the hunt. Coffee and milk are already taken care of. Also for the youth there will be ice cream and chocolate Easter eggs. Bring the children and have fun with them.

I have already had two letters in the Vestnik concerning the youth program at the district meeting which will be held April 28 in Corpus Christi. I have also asked for the youth to volunteer their talent for the program. So far, I have 12 volunteers. Youth of Lodge 56, Anton J. Cermak — please get in touch with me if you want to take part!

If you don't I'm afraid that you won't have a part in the program. It is hard for me to talk to all of you in person, with my living here at Clarkwood and some of the youth several miles from me. If you tell me at our regular meeting—that's your last chance. I have work to do just like other mothers with their girls in school and all the school activities going on. At least the youth should be willing to drop me a card.

It doesn't take but a minute to write it and it would mean so much to me in planning the program.

My sincerest best wishes for a nice profit from the bazaar to these good Ennis sisters. They are an energetic, clever, hard-working group of girls and when they put their shoulders to the wheel, they always come out successful.

Needless to say, I was delighted to visit with so many of them again, and look- forward to seeing them all again real soon. The rainstorm that struck during the Talent Show should make every 'garden for miles around Ennis really bloom out these next two months.

There are many areas that are just as dry such as Robstown, Banquette and Orange Grove.

I shall close this letter and let someone else have space in our fraternal paper.

Don't forget the date—April 14—Easter egg hunt.

Fraternally, Betty Jurica, Route 2, Box 899, Corpus Christi, Texas 4 e ) Dear Girls: It has been raining and raining and I've not yet been able to get into my garden and set out my flower vla,nts that I purchased at the Ennis',bazaar last Sunday.

The following day I noticed a film on one of the channels showing the City of Ennis celebrating its 75th anniversady, I believe, with square dancing and barbecue. Also shown were some of those handsome but sticky VanDyke beards that were so prevalent at the district meeting by the local male citizenry. I asked one of the 'nnis brothers if his wife really kisses him goodnight with all that stuff on his face and he looked at me as if I was stupid and said "Why sure!" We had a good laugh. He also told me that the city fathers had been fining all the boys who refused to grow a beard for this celebration. I hope they had a fine time.

I also noticed the "Silverbells" square dance group in the film and they looked as fine as they did. at the Sokol Hall.

Congratulations.

I failed to mention the prize winners.

I did not catch all of the names, and I hope that that report will be given in with the report of the district secretary in the Vestnik. Both square dance teams received a prize, as did the clever Adamcik Sisters who played the accordions and sang The Matus Sisters I believe, received first prize in the "over 12 year group." The Sebeta girls too, won second prize -I believe. Honorable mention , though she did not win a prize, was precious Kathy Vrla, who played the accordion beautifully. She is the daughter of our district organizer, Arnold Vrla ,and granddaughter of the F. B. Vries of Ennis and Joe Vrlas of Dallas. Kathy, we hone to see more of you, darling!

They were all wonderful, one and all!

A clever idea of using biscuits to make a delicious Hot. Cinnamon Ring, ideal for tea or afternoon coffee, which can

Wednesday, April 10,, 1957 be made about as quickly as a cup of coffee, is as follows for your trial: 2 packages of baking powder biscuits (about 20 biscuits) '/2 cup honey 1/4 cup nuts (raisins substitute) Cinnamon In a ring mold, pour half of the honey. Sprinkle with cinnamon and half nuts (raisins). Then place the biscuits edgewise in the ring, loosely.

Pour on rest of honey, cinnamon and nuts, over the dough. Put on daubs of butter around ring on the dough. Bake as for biscuits, until golden brown.

Girls , try it on the family tonight. It is different and so very quick.

At this time of the year the family gets a little tired of the menu, with vegetables limited, just before the new crop comes in, so one has to whet the appetites as one can best.

Our sincerest sympathy to those who suffered the brunt of Mother Nature's wrath and hoping that, you, dear readers, will not any of you experience such tragedy. March has truly gone out like a lion, raging and destructive.

SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM OF LODGE 84, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: Spring is here again and this finds our softball team here at Lodge Pokrok 84 preparing to embark upon a new season of play in the Dallas Softball Association organized softball leagues.

This season we will again be in an insurance league and we will play at Samuels Field, Diamond No. 2, and on Wednesday nights, and league play is schedulde to begin the week of April 8.

Thus our first league game will be on Wednesday night, April 10. The schedule has not been determined so I should have this information in the near future and will include the first half schedule in my next letter. Our insurance league will consist of our SPJST Fraternal Insurance, Firemen's Fund, Sons of Herman, and State Farm Insurance teams. The way it looks now, it should be a strong league and we hope that we can at least win some of our ball games. This year's team will have several new players as a few of our players have decided to retire or have moved out of the city. However, the core of our last year's team will be back and we hope to field a team that we all can be proud of and that will represent the SPJST Fraternal Order honorably both on and off the field of play.

We will have our star pitcher, Jim Scoggins, and also Frank Mach who is also a goot pitcher, to give us a very fine pitching staff. I cannot say much more for the rest of the team as all this rain we have been getting has prevented us from having a workout as yet. However, we are not complaining Many of our life's bitterest pills are about all this wonderful rain, but we are hoping we can at least get in a candy-coated. couple of practices before our first Let's all remember to Help our league game. This will be a handicap Rest Home for the Aged! to us, but we feel the other teams in

Strana 25 our league will also have suffered from the lack of good weather for workouts.

We will do our best to field a good team, as we have in the past and try to win as many games as possible.

We wish to invite and also urge our metrhers to come out on the nights of our games and root for the team. YOur support will be most helpful and deep ly appreciated by the team.

I will endeavor to again report to our members and friends the results of out games for this coming season and Sincerely hope that the reports will be followed by those interested in our progress.

Hoping to see a lot of you at the game.

Little Roy and his brother Glen wet playing around the gasoline tanks at their farm home at 4:30 p.m. while their mother worked nearby. A , large tank that holds probably 300 gall is on an elevated steel frame, an.d:oni the ground below the big tank was. a 50-gallon drum. A hose from the ele-, vated tank had been leaking gasoline, and saturated the ground.

It is presumed that young Glen.

Roy may have struck ,a piece of S.PPqor tin against the steel frame holding the big tank up. A spark resulted and ignited the gasoline on the ground. A great blaze reached 25 feet high. The 50-gallon tank caught fire and either exploded or melted around the edgeS and poured gasoline over the burning ground.

Little Roy, who apparently could not get away in time, somehow had burning gasoline splashed upon him, and he was burned over his entire body eke ept his chest and stomach, The mother grabbed the two boyi and pulled the clothes off little Roy, and she was burned in the rescue attempt.

The older boy, Glen, was only slightly

S4ana 26 burned. Mrs. Riha suffered severe burns about her hands, but her condition is not considered critical.

Mrs. Riha with her two sons raced to town. and through Hallettsville to the Renger`' Clinic where little Roy, the mother and older son were treated.

Doctors at Renger Clinic then advised that little Roy be taken to a hospital in Galveston.

Mr., Riha'A with Nurse Toni Janacek, Constable Bill Renger and the critically burned boy, took off in Mr. Riha's 1953 Ford and after ,a . 90 to 100 mile per hour race to Galveston, little Roy died within tAro blocks of the hospital in Gel,-e,ston.

Constable Renger related that he was passim the Riha home in the country • in the School bus just after Mrs. Riha left for town with the badly burned boy. lie noticed: the tire nad went to theiha home and helped:fights:We< fire.

Renger then said he went,-,on Ito town and jonied the Pallas and Nurse Janacek at the Renger Hospital. The futile trip to Galveston took place.

• Strangely, the big 300-gallon tank of gaSoline` did not explode, and a large gr6en 'tree between the fire and the houge apparently saved the horn. Nothing else' was lost in the fire.

Funeral services were held at the Kuben,L.,funeral Home at 9:45 a.m., and at Sacred. Heart Church at 10 a.m.

Thursday, March 28. Interment was in the .•Catholic Cemetery in Hallettsville.

Very Rev. A. J. Morkovsky offered the funeral mass at the church.

The: little boy was born at Hallettsville March 28, 1955. He was a member of the SPJST Lodge.

Surviving are his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Riha and Mr. and Mrs. ,Willie Hilscher of this area; his parents, Mr, and Mrs. Louis L. Riha, and a little brother, Glen Louis Riha.

Rosary was recited at the Kubena Funeral, Home at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, March 27.

Nature's Equity In the democracy of DEATH, all men at last are equal. Them is neither rank nor station nor perogative in the republic of the grave. At this threshold the philosopher ceases to be wise, and tive, song of the past is silent.

The poor man is as rich as the richest, and the rich man as poor as the pauper. There the proud man surrenders his dignities, the politician his honors, the worldling his pleasures. The invalid, needs no physician, and the laborer rests from unrequited toil.

Hem at last is Nature's final decree in equity. The wrongs of time 'le redressed. Injustice is expiated, the' irony of fate is refuted as is the unequal distribution of hOnor and capacity. Likewise, pleasure, and opportunity teas! iii the realm of death.

The strongest there has no supremacy, and the weakest needs no defense.

The mightiest captain succumbs to that invincible adversary, who disarms alike the victor and the vanquished, and rewards each according to his true worth. )•A •( Tuberculosis is still the nation's No. 1 killer of men under 34. However, new methods are outmoding old techniques in the treatment and cuer of tuberculosis and progress is being made.

This has c'onoa about, according to the National Tuberculosis Ass'n., through the discovery and almost universal use of wonder drugs such as Streptomycin, Isoniazid and Para-arninosalicylic Acid.

The association points out that it also, has been discovered that climate is not a major factor in the treatment of TB. "Today, the men who have spent their lives in research, diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis are convinced that climate is not necessary in the fight against this disease. Most tuberculars can be sucdassfully treated at or near their homes, regardless of where they live."—Eliner Hess, M. D., President, American Medical Association.

"The best place for most patients to go for treatment of tuberculosis is the hospital near home."—National Tuberculosis Association.

Dr. Lloyd Reedy, a representative of the Dallas County Veterinary Medical Association, said the incidence of the disease increased more than 1,200 per cent between 1951 and 1954, the latest year for which figures have i been authenticated.

Dr. Reedy spoke td, a meeting of the Budgie Society of Texas, a parakeet raisers association, at the Texas and Pacific Railroad auditorium in Dallas.

Psittacosis, or parrot fever, is a contagious virus disease of parrots and parakeets communicable to man and marked by lung disorders and a high fever.

Dr. Reedy said that even in this day of miracle drugs the disease kills 35 per cent of all people who contact it.

He added that 20 to 50 per cent of s all parakeets are "probable carriers."

"The shipment of immature para keets and their sale in variety and chain stores and pet shops serves as 'a • continuous distribution route for psit tacosis in man," the veterinarian declared.

He said the rising incidence of pSittacosis had paralelled the increasing popularity of parakeets as household pets.

Dr. Reedy urged the society members to seek veterinary help in eradicating the disease by proper treatment and quarantine of carriers.

New methods of treatment now make it possible to rid the animal kingdom of the disease, he said.

F'adesit let na pud6 Texaske (Pokraeovani)

(PiSe John StaAa, Corpus Christi)

V noSi rociine nebyl SadnY S"kolu tuto povinen navkevovat, tak sousedi Amerikani co pracovali proti postaveni none skoly, nas premlouvali, aby jsme vo1 li nimi proti bonchim. Jeden ten Ameriean v sousedstvi met auto, tak jezdil po farma,ch a voliee dovaSell k volbe. Pri techto volbach zvitezili ti, co byli pro postaveni nave Skoly. Otec Sadnemu nepravil jak volil pti techto volbach, ale brzy se rozneslo, ze tem Amerikanum se to nelibilo jak intij otec volil. VSclycky se pravilo a dosud pravi, Se volby jsou tajne. Dle toho jsme poznali, Se volby nejsou tajne pro ty, kteri jsou ustanoveni ty, volby tidit.

Mezi temi co byli aby se ta 'Skala nestavila s e nalezali takovi kteti svoje deti prepsali (Transfer) do jinYch Skol a to do Buckholts a , clo Rogers, kde meli dobre ueitele i Akoly, a je to nic nestalo se priSivit na jinych Akolnich. distriktech.

Hocine jsme se naSind v sousedstvi schodili dohromady a o Serty nebylo nouze. Soused Josef Petrilj stark hodrie si rad nekoho nekcly dobiral. Stale se, 'Se moje manSelka jemu neco chtela oplatit co si kdysi ell, a tak jej na prvniho dubna volala telefonem a oznamovala jemu, ze je prvniho Aprila.
