ZE SCHOZE VII. OKRSKU Corpus Christi, Texas.

Bratee redaktore:— v tom naSem Vestniku volnY sloupec, tak tarn vhod' ten mtij Akrabopis. -- Jest to je projev, east tech zaZitYch dojmiz nedelnich, z one schilze okrskove, ktera byla eetne zastoupena, A mohia bYti jeSte lepe obesla.na, ale ty dlouhe tYdenni velke deSte to znemoZnily.

A pak strach z vicheice. Cesty vedouci ku Corpus Christi byly zaplavene nekde a nekteei ze se niuseli vratit donni. KdyZ jsme pi ijeli do Sokolovny po 8 hodine, tak tam uZ bylo Zivo. Kuchafi, kucha.kky a bartendri (obsluhovali v nalevni) se Wine zamestnavali, aby ti nak sjeti fteastnici byli yeas obslouZeni.

Na miste jiZ byli bratei ze San Antonio, Jaroslav Kleprlik, peedseda sedmeho okrsku, Chas. Cerny organisator sedmeho okrsku a br. S. C. Bundil, kterY ueinkoval v zaba ynim programu co dobrY 'zgeVak a hudebnik.

Rychle se Sokolovna napinovala, peijig dencirni a radostnemu a i uptimnemu yitani se jeden s deuhYm nasledovalo.

Mlada sesteieka spolkova Janett MokrY a Kathren Jukica, mely na starosti knihu, kde se navStevnici registrovali a bylo zapsanYch asi jedno sto dvacet dva elenti. Pak ale odpoledne byla jeke mnohem vetSi nav gteva, neb dle prodeje taInn k obedu oclkoupenYch tak odhaduji.

Musim zde projevit IMO obdiv tem naAim S'tedrYm rodinam, ktere pomohly i tentokrate tu nak kuchyri zasobit takovYm velkym rnnalstvirn tech dobrot toho rfizneho pediva a jidla.

Kuchaffim a kuchafkam za chutnou Upravu pokrmil , ktereho byl dostateenY vYber v neobmezenem mno2stvi, kde si kaZdY mohi jiti a pidbrat dle libosti.

VYbor poeadajici kuchafi, duchaeky a obslubovaeky, v§ecko sami dobrovolnici, konali tu praci zdarma, z lasky. Je to pochopeni, porozumeni, k to naSi spolkoye cinnosti, jen spada do toho nakho spolkoveha programu, Diky yam vkm za Vak Slechetnou vYpomoc. Velice oceriuji Val obetavost a S'tedrost.

Ty zasoby je teZko odhadovat a zvlake psi nenstote toho apriloveha podasi. Jedno musim zde peipomenout, ze co se sfleastflujeme tech zdejSich spolkovYch podnikti, je gte nikdy nepochybelo v kuchyni jidla a v nalevni toho tektiteho, v:§ech rilznYch vYberu obeerstveni.

Slykl jsem si pochvalit jak nekterYin chutnalo. Neni ani diva, kdyZ abed mel bYti a2 v 1 hodinu. Ti co se min zajimali o tu to kse tooth uZ okolo kuchyne a dostali ty talikky napkin i peed jednou hodinou.

Br. Frank Bolf, z Floresville, mi pra-

vil, ze phjel busem, neb ZadnY s tamodtud nejel pro ty nesjizdne cesty, trochu se opozdil a kdyZ vide odpoledni program ze je v proudu, tak ten Zaludek nechal trpeti, aby srdeeko se mohlo radovat podas jeho peitonmosti, z toho pobaveni na ktere jsme se vhchni tek1V161. on tedy to aspon lacinejk, obed a yeeeei spoleene.

Pri nah rozmluve mi pravil, ze on vkly rad pitede mezi nas do Corpus Christi. ja, se jemu nedivirn, vklyt' my jej vZdy zde vkci radi mezi nami vidime a yakme si vkch takovYch vzacnYch hosti, jenZ sobe si radi mezi nas zajedou. Zda se mi vZdy, ze pCi takovYch tech nahch schtizich se sejiti o nekolik let omladnu.

Ty nak okrskove schfize zaeinaji dostavat magnetickou peitaZlivost a elektrickou silo.:— Doufam, ze na g Cad za pomoci vkch sloudenYch eacu v torn nasem se zhostil svYch povinnosti pei tak nejistem podasi, aspon k uspokojeni vetkny, ne-li vkch peitomnYch. Vime, ze s povetrnostni atmosferou nelze uzavirat smlouvy ,tak jsme brali na vkchno vlastni risiko.

Peipravy,, na,kup a objednavky musely bYti peedem vyeizeny. Nevedeli jsme jake podasi nam bude vymeeeno na tu nedeli kdy2 v sobotu prSelo zvolna a to dlouho do foci.

Dopadlo to ale dobee. Rano uk' se zaeala. (Aloha vyjasnivat, pees den slunk° zadalo svitit a my se usmivali na to umy to slunko a ono v odmenu se zase usmivalo na rids a svojimi heejivYmi paprsky nam. oplacelo nas obdivuhodnY zjev. K vederu kdyZ my jsme opoukeli skoro vypra.zdnenou Sokolovnu, tak se dalo prSet a my jsme jell damn v deki, kterY byl dosti hustY. A,si v pus cesty jsme zastavili slot li naklad u domu sestry Marie Rendlove, jen pozfistaval z jeji osobnosti a zavazadel, jen path ke kuchyni.

Jak jsme dojeli dam& tat, poi%:id jeSte lila. Ja, sobe pomyslel viak ma z vrchu.

Snarl to uspokojilo ty, ideri potad zde touZili po vice zemni vlahy a jarniho deAte. Mezi ty farmaee path take rodina Fr. SijanskYch ml. a rodina John W. Regmun dova, kterY mi v nedeli povida, ze by poteeboval je§te aspori jeden palec dehe, aby zem byla dobee zavlaZend. Jejich peani se spinilo a videl jsem druhY den rano, ze voda na nanohYch mistech stala v poll a peebytek odtekal zvolna peikopy okolo cest oklikami do more. tomto nadeleni toho de‘Ste, ktereha mistami maji peebytek, ze tam misto delani dobra, utrpeli velke ztra.ty odplavenim orne pildy a domovt. Zaplavy, ztra,

ty ohronme hodnoty na soukromem veeejnem majetku, musty strhane a cesty nesjizdne, Vzpominali jsme Vas v§echny co jste se vraceli ku svojini,vz(16.10nym domoviim.

Z Temple zde byli br. peedseda Jos. Koliha, Chas Navratil, a s nimi jell a se vraceli manZele L. 0. HoSkoviz West, jenZ upravuji pro nds tu eitaci lilt ku ve Vestniku.

DANESOVY DElI (Pokradovarp Cestou poudoval Arpad sveho noveho druha: "Via, musime vyprosit trochu jidie, a koni trochu ovsa. Ude neradi nam nem daji, jen na nas hubuji a dvere pied nami zaviraji. Tedy si nekdy sari vezmeme, co /lam nechteji dat a eeho my potrebujerne. Jen music davat dobrk pozor, aby to nikdo nechytil ;kdyby to chytil, pak beda ti! NaS deda by to zabil! Ale neni to nic tak te gkeho. Zakrat ko se nauOia naaemu Zivotu rozumet, zvyknea si a bude se mit dobre, Poekej, iate dnes se2eneme nej akou peOni!” Prokop na to slova Arpadova jen mleel.

Nevedel, co ma, fici a delat. Napadlo ho, aby od cikanu utekl! Ale kam? 1/Salc oni by ho jiste brzy chytili a bylo by mu pak jeSte hate! Yratit se domfi do Polabi, to bylo ted' 112. nemoLio. Proto Inlay ae1 s malkm elk:them na Zebrotu do vsi. — NizpcAninal pri tom, co by tomu tekla marninka, co tatinek, jak by se styclel pied Lidunkou a jak tcprvc pied panern uoitclem.

Ve vsi Stekali na ne psi, deti za nirni behaly a poktikovaly: "Cikani jdou! cikani jdou!" Arpad srnele fehazel do dom ka a plaetivkm hlasem prosil o penize, o chleba nebo aspori o trochu ovsa pro kone. Tu a tam nektere selka podala jim kousek jidla. I trochu ovsa do pytle dostal Arpad od jednoho hospodale.

Prokop chodil jako nemk, jako bez 2ivota s tim malkm smeUni cikanem. By-

Ve stkedu, dne 15: kvetna 1957 lo mu do plade. 13y1 by radeji pracoval, net Zebra'. Stydel se. , V jednom sta,veni prala selka na dvore pradlo. Veala do sine, aby cikantun new prinesla, a zatirn Arpad sebral u necek kousek rnkdla a streil jej do kapsy. Prokop se toho at iekl, ale co met delat. Vide, ze cikanskk hoch nevi, nebo nechce vedet, co je to bkt poctivk.

A cot teprve, kdyt ali k polednimu ze vsi! Tam za humny chytil Arpad slepici, ktera sem zabehla, zakroutil ji krkern a sup s ni do pytle!

Ted' teprvp chapal Prokop, pros nemail lide cikany radi. Aekoliv byl Arpad =elk a zlodej, piece byl k Prokopovi dosti hodnk. Nenutil ho ke kradal, ale zato na nej taloval nelc4y starer-nu eikanovi, to nechce krastNiani tebrat. Oikanskk deda zlobil se na Prokopa a bieem jej avihal.

Skoro dame jeli cikani svetem dale do jine a jine krajiny. 2ebra,li a kradli, na co 'ar gil, hla.vne husy a slepice. Ve mistech se nezastavovali. Misto si vtdy ' edgy vybrali /lade za vsi u lesa. Oetniktim se vyhkbali. Vaak jit dva eikani z jejich tabora byli pro krade2 zavreni.

To byl tedy Prokop v pekne spoleenosti.

Nernel se sice Prokop u sedlaka Ureae dobre, ale ted' east° s pldeem vzpominal na ty doby, kdy s Rekem pas1 kravy. — Tkelaa o sachem chlebe mel se lepe net tady u cikanti, kde easto pekli peeeni, ale peeeni kradenou. easto, kdyt usinal na vzporninal na Polabi, na rodiee, na Lidunku i na verneho Reka.

Nastal podzirn. Dny zaealy bkti kratai a vitr fieel po sklizenkch polich. Bylo pa prazdninach, deti jit zase chodily do Skoly, Prokop vidal deti s knihami a bylo mu lito, to nernate take do akoly. elkani s nim spokojeni nebyli. Nelibilo se jim, to nechtel tebrat ani krast. Oni po tfebovali takoveho chlapce, jako byl Arpad. Poznali, to z neho nikdy nebude takovk elov6k, jakeho by oni, cikani, potkebovali.

Jednoho rana se probudil Prokop jeate za tmy. Bolela ho hlava, bolelo ho cele tell:). Mel veliku tizen. Oikani jeate spali.

Bal se je vzbudit, aby nehubovali.

Kdyt se ukazalo slunce, vstala stara, cikanka a budila hochy. Uvidela Prokopa rozpalcneho. Telo mel jako v ohni.

Oikrinka hned poznala, ze je hoch nomocnk. Nebyla, tak zit, jako stark (Akan. Porueila aestiletemu Erikovi, aby pkines1 ze studanky vody. Dala Prokopovi pit a mokrkm adtkem otrela mu roz palene eel°.

Dr. DeWitt Reddick, asiociate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences: WELCOMING ADDRESS AT MAJALES: It is my privilege to speak for the Administration of The University of Texas in welcoming you to our campus for your annual Spring Festival, "Majales."

It is peculiarly appropriate that you would come to The University of Texas for this Festival. It is appropriate as a symbol of the very close relationship that has existed for centuries between the Czech people and higher education.

While much of Europe was in a state of illiteracy, your forefathers established the very fine Charles University in.

Prague in 1348. Through the centuries since then, Charles University has been the center of intellectual freedom for central Europe. It was here that a ceremony was established to be held on the first Sunday in May of each year to commemorate man's achievements, culturally and intellectually. This service continued through the centuries until it was stopped. by the Communists in 1948.

It was in that year that you began to hold a similar ceremony at The University of Texas. This ceremony, therefore, is a fine and challenging continuation of the traditional respect for the freedom of men's minds which has always been nurtured by the Czech people.

It is of significance to us at The University of Texas that you have chosen to come to our campus. In the first place it gives us an opportunity to express to you our appreciation for yur fine sons and daughters who have attended school here. I have known many of them personally and have found them to be outstanding students.

Your coming has. too, because it reminds us that we also have an obligation to keep this university as a citadel of intellectual freedom dedicated to a constant search for the : truth. For many reasons we are very happy to have you on our campus today. ) 4, Let's all remember to help our Rest Home for the Agedl

Wednesday, May 15, 957 was not represented (congratulations) with visiting members from Bryan, Taft, Caldwell, Ft. Worth and Temple. The reading of minutes and old and new business came next.

The Supreme Lodge officers spoke next.

Br. Navratil said among other things: "We have a good prospering organization, our policies are good and we should go to work and recommend them to our friends and relatives, and when we all put our hands together and help our organizers as a body we are certain to continue growing. We are all stockholders in this organization and what we do for her will be for our own good."

Br. Navratil stressed the importance of taking the enthusiasm manifested at this district meeting home to our individual lodges. "It is our duty to help our organizers as much as possible," he continued.

Regarding the rest home of which Br. Navratil is the treasurer: "Yes, we have started with the building but the recent rains have curtailed operations but we shall continue in the work just as soon as the weather allows and we will have a home of which we shall all be proud, a monument for us when we shall no longer be here and for this reason we (rest home officers) appeal to you to support this worthy cause."

Br. Navratil told the audience of a contribution that he received from two old sisters, ages 87 and 85 respectively and. the 89 year old husband of one of them, who from their meager income, gave to this rest home, voluntarily and 'with a full heart of love and understanding for the old folks who will live there.

Br. Broz also spoke briefly, welcoming the members.

The editor then spoke, in part: "The pioneers in this section had a hard go here and when each !member had to lay aside $1.50 for lodge premiums it was a hard task, but these brethren did not falter. Our lodges would not be here if it were not for our founders in La Grange who laid the foundation of our fraternity , and we also have some of those around you, here, your lodge, and we gladly pay homage to them today.

May we all honor their memory and devotion.

Br. Stehlik, president of the By-Laws Committee and also a director of the rest home, said in part: "I am very much interested in the building of our rest home. Br. Navratil told you about the approximate cost. When we met in Temple, we had no idea of the cost of the same we would need and of the type of building. We asked for $100,000, but

WEFIT,

we found out that it would not be enough.

In the early days, during World War I, the Texas Czechs raised more than $100,000 for relief for the Czechoslovakian Republic. Why can't we do that now? A Taylor, Texas, on the streets, 65 bales of cotton were donated and sold at auction for the propaganda and establishing of the Republic of Czechoslovakia.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now we are building up here something for our-, selves," Br. Stehlik stressed.

Regarding the rest home management Br. Stehlik said: "The man we employ to run the rest home will have to be a cook, nurse, elecrtician and bookkeeper. He will also have to be an executive. The State 'of Texas sent us the requirements for the establishing, of this rest home and you would be amazed at those requirements. We are going to be a licensed home. Our home will be 'uptown stuff'," Br. Stehlik said in talking about rest home conditions in some parts of the state that are below the required level of standard but who have to keep operating only because there is no place to shift the old folks to a better place.

Regarding the officers of the rest home, Br. Stehlik tells that "It is a pleasure to work with these fellows, regardless from what lodge they came— they're tops."

bitrana "The background of our organization: I As most of you old people know, the SPJST of your anniversary, we have come together here this afternoon, was organized in July, 1897, organized by a group of people of Czech origin, or perhaps whose forebears immigrated into this state 100 years ago. They came from Austro-Hungaria later to be known as Czechoslovakia. The SPJST was founded as a fraternal insurance company that operates on a fraternal basis and operates at almost cost. It is better than 100(/, solvent. Throughout its existence it has beerL fulfilling the obligations, we kept faith not only to those who died at home, but a4 of those that died in the war, fighting for this nation. It has never evoked the war clause or abstained paying the death claim; it has never been sued on a death claim which is something else that not many organizations can boast about.

"It was especially organized for instructing its members in their days, as American citizens and instill Americanism and fraternalism into their hearts.

We are proud of its achievements hi this endeavor. The SPJST is a nonsectarian organization. Its mottoes are: Benevolence, Humanity and Brotherhood. "Love Thy Brother as Thyself."

It is a patriotic and American organization. We believe and practice fraternalism and Americanism', in fact fraternalism and Americanism are the only two 'isms' we have in our SPJST. There are no others. Its first requisite is American Citizenship or the Declaration of Citizenship. We do not want any aliens or foreigners in our ranks. It was always an American institution from its inception. It was founded only in the Czech language because the founders did not know any other language when they came to this country. They came to stay to become American citizens.

They were American at heart long before they came to this country.

Br. Chupick, secretary of Supreme Lodge, honored the assembly with his English speech which was comparable to the one he gave at Cyclone. While it was too long to take down in its entirety, the following excerpts will give you some idea of its appropriateness: "I appreciated very much the invitation that I received from Sister Kristinek to come and give a few remarks this afternoon. We are gathered here for the solemn occasion, the 50th Anniversary of the founding of this lodge and almost for the founding of our "Regarding the political and econo60th Anniversary of our SPJST. mical background of these people that "We wonder just how many more came from Czechoslovakia: Czechoslovadays we have on this earth.

SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: On Wednesday night, May 8, our SPJST Fraternal Insurance Softball team defeated State Farm Insurance in a very close and well played game by a score of 5 to 4. We were leading State Farm 3 to 0 through the first 6 1/2 innings and they rallied with 3 runs to tie up the game at 3-3 in their bottom of the 7th, thereby putting the game into extra innings. In the top of the 8th we scored 2 runs to go ahead 5 to 3 on a single by Jim Scoggins. They scored only one run in the bottom of the 8th inning and the game ended with a hard earned 5-4 victory for our boys. In the first game played between Dallas Times Herald and Firemen's Fund found Dallas Times Herald the victor by a score of 2 to 0. The league standings to date finds our SPJST team and State Farm tied, for 1st place with 2 games won and 1 lost apiece and Firemen's Fund and Dallas Times Herald with 1 won and 2 losses apiece. Before the season is over it now looks like we will have a very good and interesting league.

Jim Scoggins pitched a very good game, allowing 6 hits, 4 walks and strikMg out .8 batters. Wilbur Munger, who caught the first 4 innings and Tommie Speck who caught the last 4 innings both turned in superb performances behind the plate. The team as a whole played a very good game as only 1 error was committed. Our infield played very good and tight defensively and our outfielders turned in some very good plays.

Leading hitter for the night was Jim Scoggins with two hits, one of them driving in the winning run; and Bill Robbins with one hit, driving in two crucial an dimportant runs, Ted Dusek with one important hit and Joe Jarolik who also got a hit; his was the first of the game and due to his /MS-

tle and headsup base running he circled the bases as the State Farm outfielder committed an error on the hit and failed to make a. good throw to get the runner sliding home. If our team continues to hustle and display the spirit and desire to win, we will win our share of ball games this season.

On: Monday night we will journey to Richardson for a practice game with Owens Country Sausage team. Next Wednesday night, May 15, we will play Dallas Times Herald in a regular league game at 8:45 p.m. at Samuels Diamond No. 2. Then the following two Wednesdays we will play the early games which start at 7:30 p.m.

We had another nice turnout of rooters at the game and this was indeed gratifying to see so many of our members out at the game and supporting their 'team.

Hoping to see you all at our game next Wednesday, May 15; game time 8:45 p.m.

Wednesday, May 159 1957 COMPLIMENTS TO OUR. EDITOR San Antonio, Texas Moucka, was a good editor and Valcik was a good editor. After reading Hosek's article entitled "Necessity to Change," it appears that he also is becoming to be a good editor.

Hosek's article also appears in Czech, and if my good friend Kleprlik will be willing, he will translate my message for future insertion in the Czech section. I would like to have this also in Czech, because I feel it important that our Czech pioneers in the SPJST take notice of the situation today.

I am a pure blood Czech, but also a natural born native of Texas, USA. I mingle with American society as well asi our Czech people. I have as much regard, love and respect for our Czechs as any pioneer member in the SPJST. If I did not like to mingle and talk with our Czech folks, I certainly would not give up my career in the American Business of Insurance and devote my efforts and time to SPJST organizational work.

But we, the older Czechs, most of us have children and grandchildren that cannot speak a word of Czech. We also are so selfish that we think of nothing else but having recreational and social functions to suit us older folks, only and we are forgetting completely to make things interesting for our youth We are hanging "on the fence;" the prevailing sentiment appears that about half of our influential members are determined to preserve all Czech customs, privileges and traditions that are of no interest to our youth, while the other half of us believe that "Necessity to Change" definitely does exist. I am at "on the fence" age, but fast jumping down on the youth side. I believe we should all get off the fence real quick and for the future welfare of our SPJST and even for the preservation of at least a fraction of our Czech customs, language, etc., it is high time to make SPJST a little interesting to our youth.

Our good delegates to the last convention did a good job to appropriate funds for a rest home. The rest home is under construction and we know for sure that we have it made for our older pioneers. Even though it may need more funds to complete, we all know well enough that our SPJST has ample surplus to provide additional funds for completion. We have the rest home guaranteed. In fact the delegates at the last convention sidetracked the youth camp in order to cinch the rest home.

Let's all get busy now and see to it that at the next convention, we have a decent appropriation for a youth camp. It is time that we interest our

youth into our society. We owe it to our children.

Fraternally yours, Charlie Cerny (Editor's note: Would like to call your attention to the fact that our rest I home will have to be self-supporting and depend on voluntary contributions of our members and friends, from now on.) ° 4 0 ( SAM HOUSTON LODGE NO. 73 Seymour, Texas Sam Houston Lodge No. 73 wishes to thank all the other lodges who helped us in any way to make our 50th anniversary and our District Four meeting a success. The lodges who helped us with food, the ladies from the other lodges who helped serve the food, the lodges who brought the beautiful flower arrangements. In the rush we did forget to express our thanks at the meeting. Hope you'll accept now our apologies for neglecting such an important matter. But we do now thank everyone for the splendid cooperation from all the lodges. We were so happy to have such a good attendance since the weather was, so unsettled.

Thanks to the Supreme Lodge officers Who came and contributed so much by their presence to our meeting. Bro. Chupick, your talk was very interesting as so many of us know ever so little about our ancestors from Europe. Bro. Joe B. Hejny and Bro. Chas.

We are glad to hear from our 4th District Lodges.) ) 40 4' LODGE 66 Elm Mott, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: In my last report to Vestnik, I asked all of you to come help us fill our enlarged hall on Easter night. So many of our friends did come out that our hall was very full. It's wonderful to see all our friends enjoying themselves.

At our meeting May 5th, we were told that a Ping Fong Table and equipment had been purchased for our youth. This is in addition to the playground equipment already purchased for theirenjoyment. We want to have something for everyone to, enjoy when they come to Linden Hall.

I was very pleased to read. to the Lodge Brother Edward Marek's report on insurance sold during the first three months of this year. Our Lodge stands third in members obtained and sixth in amount of insurance sold. Our members gave our Organizers a ring vote of thanks for their excellent work.

We sang "Happy Birthday" to the following members: Sister Barbara Stanislav, Brothers Leslie Dungan, Emil Harms, Alvin Reznicek, Butch Kazda. Following our next meeting , June 2nd, we will have a party honoring all members who have had a birthday during the first six months of this year.

Our meeting today was followed by a program honoring all Mothers, Fathers and graduates. It was opened by Sister Emma. Ceska, who suggested that it would be well to begin by a moments silent prayer for all departed mothers and fathers.

Corsages were awarded to the folloWing mothers: Oldest Mother present Sister Chain-

Cigars were awarded to the following fathers: Brother Hanselka, father of our member: Lillian Traywick„ was the oldest father present.

We had a tie for the youngest father present: Brothers Kenneth Koen and Alvin Reznicek.

Brother Hanselka also won the award for being the father present with the largest family.

Our SPJST Father of the Day , decided by drawing names, was. Edwin Nam roves.

Our president, Ed Mazanec, and his wife, Agnes, were also asked to come forward to be presented with flowers.

The Matus sisters sang "Oh Mine Papa" in honor of all fathers but, just before starting to sing, Dorothy stepped forward and annouced that although her father was not the oldest or the youngest, he was, in her opinion, the cutest. She was very sincere, too.

Ira Josephine Keen played two piano selections. Ira Josephine is just beginning her music lessons, but in time, she'll be a big; help in our programs, too.

The graduates who were honored Were: Dorothy Matus, Roseanne Narover. Imogene Hanus and Jayne Hanus.

Hattie Matus read a poem for these girl, entitled "A Day To Remember."

The last number of the program was a bit of comedy by LaNelle Ceska and Linda Bunke. They appeared in overalls and Mother Hubbard dress and with their faces blacked to sing "Mammy's LiE Baby Loves Shortening Bread." _ The program was concluded by everyone singing "There's No Place Like Home," accompanied by LaNelle Ceska.

I am sure all the members enjoyed this pro:gram , very much. We all like to see our young people perform for us.

And this program showed that Sisters Ema Ceska and Libby Parma had put a lot of work into the preparation.

I hope to see more of our members present at our next meeting, June 2nd.

And, don't forget, those of you who had birthdays during the first six months of this year, the party following that meeting will be in your honor.

Then come to the meeting which will be held Sunday, May 19, beginning at 3:30 p. m. The meeting will be , conducted in both the Cech and English languages.

The Dallas Fraternal Council will hold its regular meeting on Friday, May 17, at 501 S. Lancaster -in the American Legion Hall at 7:30 p.m. The Supreme Forest Woodmen Circle will be host. Anyone wishing to attend will certainly be most welcome.

At the last meeting of the Fraternal Council, held at SPJST Lodge No. 84, we voted to undertake some kind of project. It was decided that a typewriter would be purchased and donated either to the school for the blind or one of its pupils. The cost of this will be shared equally between each of the fraternal lodges belonging to the council. The cost of this typewriter is unknown to me at this time.

Several donations have been received recently for the rest home for the aged.

These are: Br. Wayne Yoder—$20.00 Br. Vac. and Sister Katherine Zastoupil—$25.00 Sister Angeline Ozymy—$5.00 Baseball Team;—$20,00 Teen-Agers Club—$84.50 TOTAL — $154.50 Thanks to each of you for your thoughtfulness. It's all appreciated. So far, the total amount from Lodge No. 84 for the rest hothe is $2,427.00. Also, anyone wishing to contribute for this cause may do so by bringing it to the lodge and giving it to Sister Annie Steiner, as she is in charge of this.

Our members who are on the sick list are: Jerry Kutil, Barbara Jean Vik, and Bob Zvolanek. Our wish is for each of you to get well quick. Be sure and contact the Sunshine Committee if you know of any of our members that are

V 21STNIN — WEST, T sick. We want to remember them with a card and mention their name in the Vestnik.

I want to thank the editor for his word of praise given recently in the Vestnik, for the reporters from the different lodges. At times it is somewhat hard. to know just what to report in order to please everyone. However "we" reporters try to use our better judgment. I do consider it an honor to be a reporter and member of SPJST. In writing my reports, my only interest will certainly best for the lodge.

Would you like to take out more insurance for yourself or anyone in your family? Or, do you know of anyone who would? Here are the names of our organizers who will be more than glad to help with your insurance program: Emil , Pets, Ben Jarma, Bill Vita Jr., Frank Steiner, Frank Slovak. A contest between all the organizers is now under way. You can help your favorite to be "on top" by contacting him for any insurance or providing him with new prospects.

It seems that another error was made in my last list of contributors of gifts for the Rest Home benefit. Here is the correction: Agnes Houdek donated 2 aprons, 2 potholders, 2 doilies and 1 pr. baby booties. Thanks very much for these articles.

Don't forget our next dance Saturday, May 18. Come on out and bring your friends.

So, until next time, bye.

tures were seeded to improved grasses which replaced weeds and brush.

This did not come easy. With a family of seven, there was no money to hire work done. Terraces and waterways were built and maintained with farm equipment, by Urbanovsky and his wife. Legume cover crops were planted each season to insure better crop returns and better soil. Crop stalks, leaves and stems were all shredded to protect the soil surface. Pasture was managed to return the most without damage to its cover. After six years of hard work, all conservation practices needed on the farm are now in use.

Crop production has climbed steadily while the condition and fertility of the soil also improved. Each acre is but to the use for which it is best suited, and treated with every measure necessary to protect it and keep it productive. To have done this under such adverse circumstances was a feat worthy of such j recognition as Urbanovsky and his wife 'have received.

Mr. Urbanovsky and his wife have been invited to Fort Worth May 4 to have this award presented to them along with a number of other farmers and businessmen who have made outstanding achievements i the state in furthering soil land water conservation.

The award carries a check of $500 with it.

P. 0. Box 972, Ft. Worth, Texas (dzc) Hog producers are advised by Extension Economist John G. McHaney to keep a close watch on future production trends. Present hog prices and the prospect for lower feed grain prices this fall (1957) will aid expansion and increase the chances for lower prices , in the spring of 1958. Hog profits in the months ahead will be determined by how well producers keep supply and demand in balance, says McHaney.

Silage is a safer forage bet than at this time of the year.
