(Poddva Stepan Valdik) Psati elanek o skuteenosti upfinmem ktexY prase zemfel, neni piijenme .Olovek se obydejne ve svern nitru rozplade.

Kdyi nahle odeg el Frank 8vadlenak, myslel jsem osud mne snad aetti, abych nemusel proZit, co tenkrat bylo mou povinnosti psat posmrtnou vzpominku opravdovem piiteli. Dosud si vzpominam, jak pocit prazdnoty mnou projel, kdy2 na rune bratr Hugo 8efeak volal z Dallasu, Ze Frank 8vadlenak podlehl svemu zraneni zavinenem a.utomobilovou nehodou. Ve Frankovi mi oclegel pfitel, jakYch ma elovek malo.

A zase pocitil jsem tuteZ prazclnotu, kdy2 na mne nekdo fipine neznarnY volal a oznamoval anglicky, Ze Mr. Jos. Hornak zernfel. Nekolik minut pfedtim mluvil jsem s jeho ma.nZelkou a slibil jsem ji, ze pfijdu iavgtivit nemocneho pfitele co nejcifive.

Osud nine neugetfil. Zase muslin vykonat svou povirnaost a vysvetlit eleniam Jednoty, koho jsme tentokrat ztratili. Byl to pro mne jeden z nejte gich tkolfa, abych vyslovil rozloudeni nad rakvi bratra Jos. Horriaka., ad jsem to jiZ provedl nespoeitanYria desitkam spolkovYch bratru a sester.

Uveclornuji si, 2e dela. iada dobrYch Menu nam ode gla. Vzpominam si na tragickYr -odchOd bratra Kubeny. Loudil jsem se obfadne s pfedsedou SVPS, bratrem Andincem. Ode gel nam redaktor Tapal a na jeho misto nastoupil jinY. Opustil nas novinaf August Morris. Sel za nun redaktor Moudka.

A kaZdY nahradnik veil, k sve povinnosti tak dobfe jako jeho pfedchfadce .Byl jsem tea nahradnikem a myslel jsem si tote'Z'. Ti, kdo pfijdou pc) rnne, budou vefit podobne.

S bratrem Horfiakern poznali jsme se napied pisemne. Z obsahu jeho dopisfa vycitil jsem, ze nebyl elovekem tuctovYm. Bratr Horfialc mel dobre girokY rozhlecl, bystrou hlavu, loPickY postup my glenek a opatrnY vYber sloe dOpisy byly odleskein toho, jak citil a myslel.

Nenechal se nikdy unest proudem i ne-

skakal nikdy jako ovce za beranern. val sve hlavy, i kdy2 vgichni ostatni jednali jako bezhlavi.

V rote 1948 najal nano TiskovY' vybor' za angilckeho redaktora. Bratr Hornak, jako pkedseda, nechal vypracovat nitou smiouvu. Musel jsem se zavazat.. co vgechno vykonam a kolik pftvodnich elanku upravim do anglicke eaksti ka2'. deho eisla. "Zarid' se pfesne dle ftmluvy v tete smiouve obsalene," pkipsal bratr Hornak, kdy2 mi odesilal sinlouvu k podpistt. A kdya asi o dve leta pozdeji jsem td, deskou east Vestnikl, to prve jsem poznal, jak pevnY a nesralouvajici byl bratr Hornak, pokud se tykale Ceske fedi.

Pied neclavnem, delal jsem pdadek se svYmi starymi dopisy, zaznamy, arystilfZky a sveho easu vzacnYmi vecmi. Palit jsem vWchno kog za, kogem. S pocitem respektu schoval jsem si vaak slugnon. sbirku dopisfa bratra Hornaka. Vagina , z nick nese pocIpis "Za TiskovY vYbor, Jos. Hornak, pfedseda." A poclivno, ae ni-. kdy jsem se nezlobil, kdy2 mne v dopisoda upozornil, ae new nedelam podle Umluvy. Siibil jsem totia, ze prvni, druha a tfeti stranka ye Vestniku budou m myglenky, nic vystfihaneho nebo opako-'vaneho, v gechno eerstve. A kdy'Z se ne,kdy stalo, ae nasledkem nepfedvidanYch uddlosti musel jsem piedni stranku vypinit nedim vypiljeenYm, bylo mou povinnosti, abych se pfedsedovi vYboru 0mluvil.

Ale byly jine- pripady. JistY clen byl neniile doteen tim, 2e jsem z jeho dlouheho narku, -a nechutne jerernia,dy, vypustil dy e. vety: Nezakladaly se na pravdy.

Hornak ptedal stiznost celemu vY'bora. Bylo vYborem rozhodnuto, aby reClaktor ponechal kaZdemu elenu pravo napsat sve nahledy, i kdyZ by nekdo • Secinul'redaktoru na kobylku, ovSera vSe-elan° v mezich sluSnosti. Od tech dob jsem dopisy pouze korigoval mluvnicke vazby a pravopis, ale uverejnoval jsem echno bez zkracovani. "Nema g -li dost inista, vynechej 2erty a rYmovaeky," ra dii Hornak.

Jeclnou elen stekval si Tiskovemu nin'ru, ze reclaktor uZiva slova "proueena", jim2 Clean nerozumi. Bratr Hornak Cal mi dobrou ractu: "PiS obyeejnou reel, hie sptavne. Nechej vybrane a okridlene `VYrazy tern, kdo chteji jinn za,krYt rirzne nedostatky sveho soukromeho tivota.

Tak pti§la yedlouha buclova a hiaed u vrat v buclove velika "Ratejna". Vita co to je?

Predstavte si vellkou svetnici, ale velikou.

Ve '7tredu, dne 2, rilria 1957 v ka2clem rohu postel, still a nejaka lavice, etyri rodiny s detmi v prostted velika kamna zdena, a u kamen 4 aeny vaiily decka okolo matek a to jidlo bylo vAelijake. Nikdy ! ! pravim nikdy! jsem neslySel, ae by nekdo byl natikal nad • bidou tech uboaakil deputatnikti ae jejich deti nemaji nikdy nemeli eokoladu, nebo zmrzlinu, nebo dosti chleba. Videl jsem to na vlastni oei, vide' jsem a sly:Sel jsem. Vprostied budovy byly kravy, krasne svetle exemplare dojnice a ty 4 aeny musely dojit trikrat denne, chodil jsem tarn pro mleko tak jsem vSe vide, vedle krav byly 2 pary koni, pak byt pro Salare a kousek dale pro spravce bytne staveni a pak zas kousek na stranu byl lihovar z brambor varili lih. Pak se tahly pole a ohromna ovocna zahrada a to se tahlo aa k lesu smerem ke Krivoklatu na zapad, Od dvora Sla ces ta do prava k rece Mai kde se rikalo mistu Anierika a kus dale konec acme a to ui jen les a les a reka v pravo v lese Cerchov skala na ni rost osladid tam jsme chodivali na houby a okolo na eervene jahody, ale ty zrovna sladly, jeSte ted' se ph vzpornince sbihaji sliny v hube.

Zapoinnel jsem podotknout, ae otec nam jednou vypravel kdya byl kostel vystaven a hlavni oltar (oltate byly tri) dohotoven, postaven na oltar velikY kria s Kristern IA aa k veeeru. Rano farar pfl el slouait mAi a na oltari lezely z ruky Kristovy 2 prsty, ukazovak a prostredni, fa rat poslal pro stavitele ten to spravil, druhY den rano ty same prsty zas na, olta h a treti rano zas. Na tuto prihodu jsem zapomnel aa ted' pri psani mne to phsamo na mysl. Na to datum bylo v Nove Huti ustanoveny "posviceni" 14. zaki, Ted' se zas vratime. do vesnice. Na leve strane od vYchodu k zapadu po cele deice vesnice a pak jeSte asi pal hod. dale vysokY vrch porostlY lesem, modri ny, nahore rovina misty hodne vinita jsou pole stradonskYch rolnika, vrch ma jmeno "HradiSte" asi v polovine roviny stal kris drevenY. V Kronice v Praze pry je zaznam, ae pod kriaem je zakopan poklad a ae ten poklad najde rodina — "Prachova" ze Zdejciny ale aa sedme po koleni. Dale je v Kronice psano, 'ae kdy

by HractiSte se prekopalo a na reSete prepocivalo, tak ae kdo by to dokazal, byl by bohatY elovek. Na torn "HradiAti" Ede nachazeli dukaty a sam jsem videl jak jedna aena prinesla z HradiSte nagi travy a v to trave naAla dukat a obchod nik ji' dal 4 zlate 50 krejcar y. Na torn Hradiati Tide vykopavali rozliene kosti, ale to ja jsem jeate nebyl na, svete, i mnj otec pry je vykopaval a dostavalt za starou libru 2 as 4 krejcary. Pamatuji ale. jen malo, ze otec naSel na HradiSti bronzOvY Spendlik a jistY obrStein mu dal

gSTNt -- WEST, TEXA1

-

za nej 3C zlatYch (Otec pry velmi potre boval penize.) ObrStein odvez Spendlik do Prahy a dostal pry za nej 100 zlatYch. Sam jsem Spendlik nevidel, ale pamatuji ze otec z toho onemocnel. Tehdy to byly ohromne penize. Na torn Hradiati ale trochu pod polni v lese byly male skalky, balvany, my jsme jim tech byly vytesany a vyryty vSelijake kliky haky a haeky„ tarn chodili profesoii a inainyri z Prahy, vSe prohliaeli a si do notesu zapisovali, jako kluci zveda vi jsme je kolikrat pozorovali, ale byli jsme skovani za stromy. Pamatuji tea ae otec Sel jednou kopat na HradiSte ale ua aa u lesa a nic pry nemohl najit, tak Sel na line misto. Na otcovo misto priSel kopat ze Stradonic Krabec ,kopal pry jen chvilku a vykopal nadobu s du katy, ale nepamatuji ua kolik jich bylo.

Zahodil motyku bezel domu a hned do Prahy a za 2 tYdny jell s rodinou do Ameriky a vic jsme o nem neslySeli. To nine vaak jeate nebylo 6 rokn, jeate jsem nechodil do Skoly.

Na praVe strane cesty je tea dloulaY a vysokY vrch kterY byl osazen treSnovymi stromy a nahore na rovyne byly panske pole. Pod kostelem na leve strane byly kere beau Seriku nekolik akra v ma ji, kdya bez kvetl byla vilne po cele yesnici. Na pra y & strane pod kostelem byly ye strani lisky, kere ktere rosily zrovna v zemi a ta byla jak rozbita bridlice.

Proti toeene peSine ke kostelu pies ces tu bYval kniaeci pivovar, kdya v nem piestali varit pivo ()bee ho vymenila za obecni starou akolu. Co bylo na zavadu se vybouralo a zridilo na 6ti tridni akolu. Od akoly bylo nekolik kroktI k potoku kterY tekl z Otroeina okolo Niaboru podle paty HradiSte k vYchodu do reky Mae. la potokem byl yytesan do HradiSte do skaly dlouhY sklep kterY pattil pivovaro a kde nebylo treba ledu. Jednou jsem v nem byl a klepal jsem se zimou. Ted' se zas od mostu otoeime k vYch. k Berounu. Proti mostu pies silnici do leva byla eetnicka stanice. Nekolik mai° krokil dale byl prokopan pod cestou tunel pro potok, kterY v eas povodne tekl pies cestu, kousek dale na 'eve strane ua u reky byla panska kovarny, kdya byla rozvodnena reka, z jara kdya ledy plavaly to aa u kovarny bYvaly nastavene kusy ledu. Hned vedle kovarny byl kuaelnik v zahrade pod stromy kde se v lete pivo pies cestu kniaeci hostinec kde byl sal pro tanec kde podlana byla na perach a ph tanci se vsale vaichni houpali, zas nekolik kron ke Stradonictm byl kniaeci mlYn u ieky a jednou kdya byla, velka voda, kdya plavaly ledy, mlYn byl hodne poSkozenY ale jez nejvic a ua ho nikdo neopravil a vic se tam nemlelo — a tam konei vesnice NiZbor na vych, strane k Berounn.

V kostele za velkYrn oltarem v zakristii byl otvor dolt do chodby ktera se tahla pod zamkem dosti daleko do lesa kde byl vYchod jen asi 2 strevice nebo nth metru v prnmeru. Ale kdya ja jsem ten vYch. otvor hledal tak uz byl zasypan. Otvor v kostele byl zavten tak, aby ho nikdo nemohl otevrit. Chodba pry mi sty byla zavalena. Otec vypravel ze je° den odvaZlivec chtel vedet kam chodba jde a co tarn je — elovek pry na slovo vzatY. V chodbe byl jak sam tekl ale nikdy nikomu netekl co tarn videl a kdy se jej na to nekdo zeptal, tu pry se na tazatele podival divne a gel od neho PrY6.

Jedna zvla gtnost v na gem okoli byla a to dokud se pamatuji co jserri byl doma.

"KaZdY rok" k nam do okoli nekdo ptigel nebo pitel a tam skoneil svilj Zivoi, bud' to se utopil, nebo zasttelii, nebo obesil. a jeden do kohce zmrznul, nekdy Sinrt' byla nasilna a nekdy dobrovolna. Mel bych toho jeate hodne ale 0 je toho aZ moc. Otec nam nekdy vypravel v gelijake uddlosti z na geho okoli, ale jako kluk jsem o to neniel zajem, aZ zde v Americe pti vAelijaltYch ptilelitostech se v geMake firyvky po diouhYch letech v hlay e vynotovaly a toto psani` je vYsledek a to vgecko je z "Vestniku" z elanku "z Male vesnioky do celeho sveta" NebYt to ho elanku, snad bych byl nikdy toto nenapsal.

Pane redaktore, prosim je-li Vam moano, zaalete zpet tento mitj vYplod. 1■.1oZno ae z na g'i rodiny nekdo pojede do Nilboru a toto by mu bylo velikou pointickott v mem rodieti. Myslim, ae 0 bych takoye popsani nesved.

New Line of Our Lodges are now . holding c! meetings, to which members •and children are invited, where a j•n program is rendered followed by an planation. of the plans and purposes of the juvenile deportment. The amount of juvenile talent disclosed by these has been a revelation, and it has openaer up a new line of thought to us, that is why not make the juvenile department of such value to the children and their parents from a social and educatimaal standpoint as from the protection standpoint?

Are not these considerations, which should be thoughtfully studied by local lodges of our organization? Do they not open up a line of effort which will transform these bodies into lire and vigorous proponents of fraternalism in its many adaptations? If we meet our opportunities in this field, can there be any question as to the future growth of our cause? Surely, there is everything to be said in favbr of whole family protection and •nothing of a valid nature to be argued against it.

Why not cooperate with parents and children in helping to unfold and develop these qualities? In addition, there are parliamentary useage and customs to be taught in the lodge room; youth clubs to be organized, juvenile sport and musical activities to be organized and supported. In fact, here is a fallow field, with such unsuspected possibilities that we are amazed that any fraternal society should hesitate to enter it.

The possibilities for good, for real fraternal work are so great that they overwhelm the wellknown objections to juvenile protection.

Lost Pt, :y Holders Is Object Of Life CMillions of dollars reprennating the accumulated value of thousands of unclaimed life insurance policies are paid yearly by life insurinice companies to policyholders and their beneficiaries who for various reasons had become lost, accordin g to the Institute of Life Insurance.

Considering that there are over 106,000,000 policyholders, the number recorded as missing or who have dieea.ppeared d- pouts to a very small percentage.

Nevertheless they do add up to thousands of policyholders who cannot be found each year and cause the life insurance cernpanie.s to take the initiative in searching for then. The effectiveness of the thorough "detectiVe" work of the life insurance companies is indicated' by the fact that 90 per cent of these "lost" policyholdersor their beneficiaries are found. The life insurance companies go MU, action as soon as mail is returned. , The larger companies have special staffs whose main function is to locate policyholders and benefifiaries elegible for policy proceeds, including "disappearing" policyholders who have mysteriously vanished and on whom death claims un be expected after seven years have elapsed and they can be declared legally dead. Life insurance companies report. that .approxlinately 70 per cent of the disappearance eases are solved in a comparatively short space of thin. In cases of policy holders who have dippeared from home and family the search may go on for years if the life insurance companies' investigators have adequate reason to believe that tha hathviduals, being sought may still be alive.

The .srnaller life inn.0 aiice corn ; nies usually detail the tracing of "lost" and "missing" policyholders to their claims clepartments and to their agents and field representatives. Althmigh taken cn g as an additional duty, their methods of finding owners and heirs of life insurance policies have also been effective.

Whether it is a large endowment policy or a small industrial policy, the companies check every available reference source in an effort to establish the 'whereabouts of the policyholders or beneficiaries they are attempting to find The "lost" policyholder is usually one who has forgotten he had purchased life insurance or who believes that the policy is no longer in effect, often be-

caus. no more premium payments are necesoary. Commonly, he has neglected to inform his family of his insurance purchase and upon his death there is no indication that he has left life insuranceas part of his estate.

The narked shifting of our nation's Population with family groups settling in different communities throughout the country widens the gap between the original location of the policyholder and the place where he or his heirs are now living. To add to the diffficulty of finding the "lost" policyholders or the heirs, too many have neglected to follow the simple procedure of leaving a forwarding address, the Institute says. ) * "My heart is wrapped up on the success of the Grand Old Order and I hope for its future success. As long as I live I will have its welfare in mind and will still labor for its upbuilding. And when the last day comes and I place my hand in that of the silent boatman and prepare to sail across the bar, I will still be thinking of this Order and its loyal and steadfast members."

Life instuenacee,1..,,., of I he United States number 1,242 on June 30 of this year, an increase of 103 from a year ago n and 798 more than in 1940, the Institute of Life Insurance reports.

More than 85 per cent of the more than 700 companies started since 1.950 were in the South and West. These two sections of the country account for 943 of the companies now in business, the Institute says.

The figures are based on an %nalySis of the reports on companies lie' nsedto do business by the insurance departments of the 48 states and the District of Columbia.

"The expansion of new companies a the South and West has been an portant contributing factor in the creased ownership of life insurance i those sections, which have gained iniu'h more rapidly than the rest. of the coun try," the Institute said.

Fr©m The Tee iaf' DiviCon ©f SPJST No. 84 Dallas, Texas Dear. !Members and Friends, We, first of all wish to express our most sincere thanks to you, Mr. L. 0.

Hosek, for cooperating with us to make our dance the great success that it was, by giving us such good spacing on our lost article about the dance and contest.

Cordial thanks also go out to each and everyone who helped us by giving donations, voting for our princesses, or taking any part in our FIRST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. We wish we might be able to mention each and every one, but due to so many it would be just ab.out impossible, and we sure wouldn't want to leave someone out. So once again our many, many thanks to everyone who helped to irriake our event such a success.

All of us, teenagers, went to the hall On the morning of the dance to decorate. We fixed as a back ground for the stage, pastel crepe paper streamers with First Anniversary in silver. An arrangement of white bells were placed in the center as well as on each side of the front part of the stage. The arrangement above the dance floor was of multi colored balls and streamers. The girls wrapped the multi colored crepe paper around the bar that divides the dance floor the table area ,Ori, completion we were very proud of our workmanship and we truly knew that i t was fit for a queen.

Due to the rain and stonmi warning we were all worried it might keep the people away But it certainly didn't for there was a, record crowd present.

Shortly before the dance was to beg in the princesses and their escorts arrived and found their places at a special table which had been reserved for them.

As the orchestra started playing the princesses and their escorts started off the dancing. This was truly a beautiful scene. For all of the princesses wore beautiful formals with elegant orchids.

The escorts all wore white coats with dark bow ties, dark slacks and red carnation boutonnieres. We purchased orchids for our leader, Sister Bessie Petr, and our president's wife Sister Justine Pokladnik. White carnation boutonnieres Were for our president, Bothe Sid Pokladnik,.Bother Emil Petr, and our teenage president! Brother Billy Sill.

About 9:30 p. rn. Brother Pokladnik announced for all the princesses to turn in all their votes to the judges, who were waiting in the conference room.

The judges for this checking were; Mr. Joe Koci. of Fort, Worth, Texas, Mr. John Morris, Mr. GeOrge Parnell, Mr. Charles

CAROLE NEMEC

Tobola, and Mr. Joe Valek, all of Dallas, Texas. Our many thanks to them for their help. Everyone grew more tense by the moment, it seemed ike hours bforee the judges turned in their reports.

As the orchestra started a. slow march, the dance floor was cleared and Brother Pokladnik gave an introductory speech. The mike was then turned over to Brother Billy Sill.

The Ceremonial March was begun by little Sister Linda Petr, who carried a glittering crown on a bright red velvet pillow. She was escorted by little Brother Frankie Petr, who carried a beautifuly bouquet of red rose buds: Both were dressed appropriately for the occassion, she in a formal gown of baby blue, and he in white coat, dark slacks, and even the red carnation boutonniere. They were the children of our leader and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Petr.

The first of the princesses was from the house of Adamcik — Princiss Cathey wore a white strapless ballerina length gown with a. touch of tiny red rose buds here and there. Her escort was Brother Bill Shulster.

Next from the house of Janousek was Princess Juanita, escorted by Brother Richard. Sykora. Her gown was a pale green full length formal. Then from the house of Nemec, Princess Carole, gowned in a full length formal of aqua. Her escort being Brother Joe Ondrusek.

From the house of Pekar was Princess Mary Ellen in a yellow formal of bane-

rina length. Being escorted by Brother James Janousek. From the house of Urban canoe Princess Jerry Ann, escorted

by Brother Kenneth Brown, her gown was white ballerina length with touches of pink rose buds.

As each were called they proceded from the entrance of the hall walking the full length of the dance floor to the stage and formed a half circle around the stairs.

Brother Pokladnik was then to announce the Queen. Princess Juanita and her escort brought in the highest amount of cash, which was $441.65. Princess Carole and escort sold the most insurance policies, being $18,000.00. Now who would be the Queen? They 1141 'd all worked hard but only one could be the 'Queen. Who woud it be?

For fifth place was Princess Mary Ellen Pekar with 18,269 votes.

For fourth place --- Princess Jerry Ann Urban with 18,850 votes.

For third place — Princes Cathey Adamcik with 28,165 votes.

For second place — Primps Juanita, Janouesk with 44,665 votes.

The WINNER, THE QUEEN, Princess Carole Nemec with 53,386 votes. As she walked up the royal white , stairs she was escorted by Joe Ondrusek. When she took her place on the throne, Brother Pokladnik crowned her QUEEN CAROLE QUEEN OF THE TEENAGERS of S. P. J. S. T. No. 84 for 1957-1958 not just QUEEN for a day. Then little Brother Frankie Petr presented her with the red roses for which he received a big hug.

Brother Billy Sill presented Sister Bessie Petr, our leader, with a gift, which she found to be a 'silver plated" lazy susan. We don't think there is anything nice enough for all her time and effort, but this was a remembrance from us on our FIRST ANNIVERSARY. After Queen Carole and her escort thanked all for their support, a special number was played for them. Later they were joined by the -other contestants, followed by all the teenagers. Dancing was enjoyed the rest of the evening. A large basket of groceries was won by Brother Bill Shulsters father. During the next intermission a cake walk held for all who wished to join in.

This event proved to be a great SUCCESS for we brought in about $1,600.00 of which $1,390.25 was from the Queen contest alone. We also sold $21,000.00 of Insurance Policies for S. P. J. S. T. No. 84.

On behalf of the teenagers, Sister Roberta Anne Staglik, the entertainment chairman, and myself, James Janousek, the queen contest chairman,

One of The Finest Stories

Role of Life Insurance

#1,4414, WI Tv Our Organizers Must Solicit New Business Many insurance salesmen are working hard to give their calling thedignity of the profession. They have the same scrupulous regard for the confidences of their clientele that characterize a doctor or a lawyer. They place the interests of their clients ahead of their own selfish considerations and recommend the plans or policies that best serve the needs of their clients rather than those that are most profitable to sell.

But there is one important Jiff Bence between the insurance man and the doctor or the lawyer that on first glance may seem to detract from the professional status of the insurance man.

That is, neither the doctor nor the lawyer solicits patients or clients. He waits until he is called upon for assistance before he will attempt to give advice. The insurance man on the Other hand, must actively solicit bt*Siness if he is to make a living.

There is a simple reason why the insurance man must offer his services, whereas the doctor or the lawyer can wait for the public to come to him. That is, while the doctor or the lawyer can help a man after the emergency has developed, it is then too late for the insurance man to be of service.

Insurance must be bought before the emergency arrives. You can benefit from legal advice when you are faced with a lawsuit, but you can't buy life insurance when the ambulance is parked in front of your property. You can benefit from. the services of a surgeon when you are suffering an acute attack of appendicitis; but you can't buy Accident insurance when they're taking you to the hospital.

Insurance must be bought beforeit is needed. Few people have sufficient imagination to visualize a need for insurance before that need develops. People would eagerly call for the services of an insurance man, if like the doctor or the lawyer, he could help them after the accident has occurred. But, as long as insurance must be bought before and not after the need for it is evident, people will have to be solicited and urged to buy. ) 4 September reminds me of a long-winded sermon — the heat just lingers on and on, wearying people without doing any real good.

Ft. Worth No. 92, Ft. Worth No. 154; Gainesville No. 101,

TO ALL ORGANIZERS

Dear Sisters and Brothers: I am enclosing the report of sales for September, which is a considerably better report than the one for August.

However, if we will double the sales of 1956, we will really have to hustle to get clone.

With vacation over and summer with its lazy days behind us, and fall with its freshness on the way in, it should be a wonderful time to renew our plans and make a special effort to take advantage of the last few month to increase our sales.

We can have the greatest fall sales in history if we make the TriaSt of our opportunities and talk S. P. J. S. T. everywhere we !go - let's try it!

I also would like. to call to your attention the special prize offered to all organizers who double their saies and write at least $12,000.00 of insurance this year.

Thanking you. I remain Fraternally yours, Joe B. Hejny )• 4, 4.

There was a wonderful dinner and supper and a nice enjoyable evening Of getting acquainted and dancing. This Was the first reunion of the Zavodny family.

I think I had better sign off for now.

Your Reporter, Mrs. JERRY ZAVODNY —) • di • West, Texas Dear Girls: Finally the rains came! It is cooler and all the dirt gardners are grubbing away in those flower beds, pruning, spading, cleaning dead growth, transplanting and planting. The mornings are fresh and cool and one feels glad to be alive and with the recent moisture even growing plants have taken on new life. Up here in Central Texas cotton picking is well half over and farmers with mechanical pickers are all through even to plowing under the cotton stalks. It is a busy time, a glad time for now the money is coming in for many a family for the year's toil in the fields.

Now is the time for those final repairs before winter sets in and many of our member Lodge Halls are doing just that. Our Lodge 54 here in West, is putting on a new coat of paint to freshen .up the Hall. They have made some nice improvements inside, too. The Lodge Hall at Sweet Home is planning to add on a modern Kitchen to their Hall. Our Lodge in Dallas No. 130, as well as our Lodge Hall in Bryan, No. 39, both panning on building new Lodge Halls. Our sincere best wishes to both of these Lodges for their courage. It sometimes takes a common project, a common debt incurred, to really awaken the dozing spirits of many of our Lodge members, to give a hand in pulling the load. There are many skilled people in our midst who will give of their talent to beautify and give the Lodge Hall an individuality, if we but give such credit where it is due. Take for example, in Pokrok 84, in Dallas, one modest brother there made the Lodge Hall a beautiful trophy case — so beautiful in fact that it enhances the beautiful trophies of their baseball team that the trophy case contains. That is Brother J. Kutil. Br. Kutil doesn't make too 'much noise, so to speak, but he has magic in his fin-

gers, a beauty in his soul to create such beautiful things. There is John Starcala in Houston, who too, has magic in his fingers. He carves in wood. While visiting his shop with my father and mother, I saw his rough outline of the Mother Mary that was so beautiful at that time that I am sure the finished product was truly worthy of placing in the place of worship it was destined for. One never hears of these artisans yet, our Texas Czechs have a long list of them. I memember when as a girl the Dallas Sokol Hall with its sister the SPJST Lodge Jaro 130, was building said Hall, every night after the evenint meal, scores of brothers tired from the daily toil, came and added their skill to its construction. There was the late Br. Will Rezek, who did carpentry, there was the late Br. Hy Cechan, who besides being an accomplished musician, with a beautiful deep basso voice, was on his hands and knees and with others of like skill, laid doWn the hardwood dance floor in said Hall. There was our Br. John Kebrdle, who whistled constantly while painting the stage props and other seenery for the Hall. The boys on the roof, crawling about laying the roof for the Hall. There were meny,' many, more — and they all took a special pride and satisfaction in giving of their leisure time and talent to this labor of love, this building of a meeting place where their small sons and daughters at that time, would grow up into beautiful and cultured human beings. Out side of the cost of materials, this labor and all donations, those brothers who were unable to help, because of job committments, gave so much money a day as their share. Everyone pitched in, 'everyone prided himslef for his part and the hall was completed and several generations of young people have grown up in the Hall's enviroment. Now these youngsters are enjoying what their grandfathers and in some cases their great-grandfathers built for them. Surely these sacred memories of the history of our Halls can serve as an inspiration to those members who are just now embarking on a Hall building project. Be of stout hearts, brothers and sisters, go ahead and do it and cross the hurdles as you come to them — it has been done before — you too, can do it.

Our sincerest congratulations to Br. and Sister Vytopil of Wheelock on the acquiring of a new daughter-in-law as well as a new granddaughter. There's 'another two members for our Bryan Lodge!

If you will glance at the Vestnik Calendar, you will notice that next month there are many things happening in our fraternal family. Why not Make your

plans to attend some of them? They are always happy occasions, the fellowship is grand, and you keep posted' 011 what is going on in our fraternal family of which you are also a part. This is one way of making lasting friends, friends who like yourself visit these activities to broaden their horizons as well as that of their children, for we love our 'ittle ones and there is always room for them in our lodge halls, to participate in its functions, meet children of other members under desirable circumstances.

The children love going to meetings, •'n fact, they are the ones who usually reproach the tired parent that the lodge is counting on his presence.

Several bazaars are planned — visit them if possible and' start collecting our Christmas presents now„ As less than 90 days before Christmas! Killing a bird witty two stones: helping the [Jodge project and getting your ChristDias present lined up!

In several of the latest issues of the Vestnix we have presented pictures of our Teen-ageis as well as our Youth in action in our various Lodge functions.

We believe they will be of interest to our young folks, and that they will inspire other young people in our lodges to form their own youth corps as the youth in these pictures. We would appreciate your reaction along this line of visual education. It was our Czech Komeusky who first introduced "visual education" to the world hundreds of years back, only to be lost in oblivion until these recent years it has been used in our educational systems in the U.S.A. My sincerest best wishes to all of you our readers of the Vestnik, and now that the work outside has slowed up, why not sit down and write the Vestnig a letter, let us know what your neck of the woods is doing along our fraternal lines.

The prince made no answer but he took the king's words to heart and pondered them. He would gladly have clone as his father wished but there was no young girl upon whom his affections were set.

One day when he was sitting in the garden, wondering what to do, an old woman suddenly appeared before him.

"Go," she said, "to the top of the Glass Hill, pluck the Three Citrons, and you will get a wife in whom your heart will delight." With that she disappeared as mysteriously as she had come.

Her words went through the prince's soul like a dart. Instantly he determined come what might, to find the Glass Hill and to pluck the Three Citrons. He told his father his intentions and the old king fitted him out for the journey and gave hint his blessing.

For a ong time the prince wandered over wooded mountains and desert plains without seeing or hearing anything of the Glass Hill and the Three Citrons.

"No,• I have never heard a word about the Glass Hill," Yezibaba said "But wait until my son comes. He may be able to tell you something. Yes, yes, I'll manage to save you somehow. Go hide under the besom (twig broom) and stay there until I call you."

The mountains rumbled and the castle trembled and Yezibaba whispered to the prince that her son was coming.

"Phew! Phewl I smell human meat! eat it! shouted Yezibaba's son while he was still in the doorway. He struck the ground with his leaden club and the whole castle shook.

"No, No, my son, don't talk that)! way.

It's true there is a pretty youth here, but he's come to ask you about something."

"Well, if he wants to ask me something, let him come out and ask."

"Yes my son, he will, but only when you promise me that you will do nothing to him.".

"Well, won't de anything to him.

Now let him 'come out The prince hidden under the besorn Was shaking like an aspen leaf, for when he peeped through the twigs he saw an ogre so huge that he himself would reach up only to his knees. Happily the ogre had guaranteed his life before Yezibaba had ordered him out "Well, wet, you little June bug!" shouted the ogre. "What are you afraid of? Where have you been? What do you want?"

"What do I want?" replied the prince, "I have been wandering in these mountains for a long time and I can't find what I am seeking. So I have come to you to ask whether you can tell me something about the Glass Hill and the Three Citrons."

Yezibaba's son wrinkled his forehead, thought for a moment and then lowered his voice a little, he said: "I've never heard of any Glass Hill around here.

But I tell you what you 'do: go to my brother in "arms wholives in the Sivlec Castle and ask him. Maybe he will be able to tell you. But I can'tlet you go away hungry: That would never do! Hi, mother bring out the dumplings!"

Old Yezibalaa placed a large dish on the table and her giant son sat down.

"Well, come on! Eat!" he shouted to the prince.. When the prince took the first dumpling and bit into -it, he al-most broke two of his teeth, for the dumpling was made of lead.

"Well," shouted Yezibaba's son, "why

Wednesday, October 2, 1987 don't you eat? Doesn't the dumpling taste good?"

"Oh, yes, very good," said the prince politely, but just now I'm not hungry."

"Well, if you're not hungry now you will be later. Put a few in your pocket and eat them on your journey."

So, whether he wanted them or not, the prince had to put some leaden dumplings into his pocket. Then he took his leave of Yezibaba. and her son and traveled on.

He went on and on for three days and three nights.

The farther he went, the more inhospitable became the country. Before him stretched a waste of mountains, behind him a waste of mountains with no living creature in sight.

Weiried with his long journey, he threw himself on the ground. His silver sword clanked sharply and at its sould twenty-four ravens circled above him, cawed in fright, and flew away.

"A good sign!" cried the prince. "I'll follow the ravens again!" So on he went as fast as his legs could carry him until he came in sight of a tall castle.

It was still far away, but even at this distance it shone and flashed, for it was of pure silver.

In front of the castle stood an old woman, bent with age, and leaning on a long silver staff. This was the second Yezibaba.

"Yi, yi, my boy! she cried. "How did you get here? Why, not earen ' a little bird or a tiny butterfly comes here, much less a human being. You'd better escape if life is dear to you, or my son, when he comes home, will eat you!"

"No, no, old mother, he won't eat Me. I bring greetings from his brother of the Leaden Castle."

"Well, if you bring greetings from the Leaden Castle you are safe enough.

Come in, my boy, and tell Me your business."

"My business? For a long time, old mother, I've been looking for the Glass Hill and the Three Citrons, but I can't find them. So I've come to ask you whether you could tell 'me something about them."

"No, my boy, I don't know anything about the Glass Hill., But wait until my son comes. Perhaps he can help you.

In the meantime hide yeurself under the bed and don't come out until I call."

The mountains rumbled and the castle trembled and the prince knew that Yezibaba's son was coming home.

"Phew! Phew! I smell human meat!

I'll eat it!" bellowed the mighty fellow.

He stood in the doorway and banged the ground with his silver club until the whole castle shook.

"No, no, my son," said Yezibab

VESTNiK — WEST, THOUS "don't talk that way! A pretty little chap has come bringing you greetings from your brother of the Leaden Castle."

"Well, if he's been at the Leaden Castle and come to no harm, he'll have nothing to fear from me either. Where is he?"

The prince slipped out from under the bed and Mood before the ogre. Looking up at him was like looking at the top of the tallest pine tree.

"Well, little June Bug, so you've been at my brother's, eh?"

"Yes," said the prince. "See I still have the dumplings he gave me for the journey."

"I believe you. Well, what do you want?"

"What do I want? I came to ask you whether you could tell me something about the Glass Hill and the Three Citrons."

"Hua, it seems to me I used to hear something about them, but I forget. I tell you what you do: go to my brother of the Golden Castle and ask him.

But wait! I can't let you go away hungry. Hi, mother, bring out the dumplings!"

Yezibaba brought the dumplings on a large silver dish and put them on the table.

"Eat!" shouted her son.

The prince saw they were silver dumplings, so he said he wasn't hungry just then, but he'd like to take some with him for the journey.

"Take as many as you want," shouted the ogre.

"And give my greetings to my brother and my aunt.'

So the prince took some silver dumplings, made suitable thanks, and departed.

He journeyed on from the Silver Castle three days and three nights, through dense forests and over rough mountains, not knowing where he was nor which way to turn. At last all worn out he threw hiineelf down in the shade of a beech tree to rest. As , the sword clanked on the ground, its silver voice rang out and a flock of thirty-six ravens circled over his head.

"Caw,! Caw!" they croaked. Then, frightened by the sound of the sword, they flew away.

"Praise God!" cried the prince. "The Golden Castle can't be far;" He jurnpeel up and started eagerly off in the direction the ravens had taken.

As he left a valley and climbed a little hill he saw berofe him a beautiful wide meadow in the midst of which stood the Goden Castle shining like' the sun. Before the gate of the castle stood a bent old Yezibaba leaning on a golden staff.

Thirty Days Behind The Iron Curtain (CONTINUED) Jtine 27 In the morning, Uncle, sister and I took a walk through Kyjov.

I this town there were many farm ,:that came to town to shop and ti.);c1c,.... The peasant women were dressed in their everyday dresses. The skirts are very short, real full, either pleated or gathered,- :white aprons, beautiful headsearfs, all beautifully done in cutwork, ar black boots. Some had beautifhily hand :embroidered aprons and vests and they all don't wear boots, but have _low quarter shoes and black r; ,ase; This was very very fascinating to nic,. to wander. - hrough the streets and see all of this.

We also stopped by the home of Mr. 1:>yla2:eK, he is my uncle's brother-inHere we had the, pleasure to eat freshly picked cherries, right of the tree.

Polasek is a house painter, but for linme he amuses himself by paint= pictures. He gave me three paintings, which I am proud of.

That evening, Mt. Chytil took nay sister- and Me. to Uherske Hradiste. It is pea.ceful old-world town in the lovely country of Moravia Slovakia.

T-I k re we saw the beautiful church and r convent. In World War II, here the priests and nuns were executed, to-day the convent is used for an old-age home.

The chinch isr very beautiful both inside and outside, and surrounded by a with many statues from stories of the Bible.

By Mrs. Betty Jurica and admired by the tourists from all over the world.

On the night of the 27th, we were invited by Mr. Chytil to a wine cellar. I was wondering all the time what this could be, but I found out that night.

This cellar is owned by several people of the town and they store their wine there. Once a week they meet here and they ,:r:_; and drink wine. The Slowks that were there that night, really could sing good, and it was a pleasure to listen to them. At times we joined them also with the singing, because they were all wondering if we sang at all. They were very much surprised that we sang Czech songs and also-they were surprised that we spoke the Czech language to begin with. About midnight one of the Slovaks brought cheese and rye bread, a snack to go with the good red and White wine. The Slovaks are a very happy people, they like to sing, dance, and drink wine. Many times, my father mentioned the wine cellars, and now I know what they are. The people that have their wine stored in the cellar, all of them have vineyards and they make their own wine. There are jugs and barrels of all sizes stored in this Slovacky sklep. The one we . were in, has a large table and chairs all around the walls are painted with different Czech designs; and verses written on the wall, there are also electric lights and running water .This is a . typical Slovacky sklep.

June 28 —:,This morning we got on the bus to go to to Osvetinamy to see my kin, Mr. and Mrs. Fruit' Barak, Mrs. Barak' is my dad's sister. My aunt and uncle have a nice home surrounded by a vineyard, cherry trees; apple trees, and many bushes of currants. The currants are used in making jam and wine, they are similar to the currants that grow wild in South Texas. My aunt is a very good cook and for dinner she served us fresh mUshroom soup, dumplings, smoked tenderloin and horse ra dish gravy, this food was out of this world,. ,She also bakes delicious pastries for she earns money by baking for parties, weddings, ete, pastries such as she bakes are not found in our bakeries.

Czechoslovakia land is very precious, every inch of it is cultivated where possible. The land that isn't cultivated, has grass planted on it and used for hay. I noticed that every plot of land is put to use. Some plots are so small that they can't be worked by machinery, so the people use a hand sickle, than rake the hay with a wooden hand rake, and carry the hay home on their backs in sacks or what ever is available.

We walked into the forest which was similar to the East Texas Piney woods, I always did like pine trees and I enjoyed this walk very much, as I had a chance to take pictures of the country side and Osvetimany from a hip*. hill.

Also we saw many ,geese and duCks in ponds and these are in abundance through out the Republic. I also had a chance to see a "Pionyrsky Min!' This is similar to our summer camps for boys and girls that belong to Boy Scouts.

Campfire Girls, only this Pionyrsky Min is for children of parents that belong to the Party. The children wear a red.handkerchief around the neck, and the girls have blue skirt 's and white blouses. Here in this Dum, the children are taught handicrafts and loyalty to the Party. The children need training, no matter what part of the world they live in, therefore; I think that this Pio,nyrsky Dtim is for the good of their children.

Here is a verse that I have taken out of "Piseri Detstvi". This book I bought in Prague, it contains verses and songs for children and some of them are very good reading.

This book has beautiful pictures in it, even if the child can't read Czech, it would enjoy looking at the pictures that are so colorful.

We arrived at Kyjov in the late evening and were all ready to retire for ,the night and be up bright and early the next morning.

IT'S THE LAW

* 4.0.7-0044- * A public storwieo hobo. eleo Pogo tor . .4 Tomo

SCHOOL SEGREGATION With schools opening for the fall semester, the matter of segregation is back in the headlines in Texas and elsewhere, and some school boards may now be pondering upon a law passed by the 55th Texas Legislature.

By now everyone knows that the Supreme Court of the United States has decreed that segregation of public school pupils by race is unconstitutional.

Since the Court's decision, however, the Legislature passed House Bill 65. The constitutionality of the law has not as yet been tested.

In effect the bill provides for local option elections to -determine whether dual school systems shall be continued or abolished. It prohibits any board of trustees of school authority from abolishing its dual school system (desegregating or integrating) prior to an election on

Straus 27 the question. A prerequisite to such an election is a petition signed by at least 20 per cent of the qualified electors residing in the school district.

The election is to be conducted in a manner similar to elections for school trustees. It can be called on the same date as a school trustee election if the petition was filled within 90 days of the trustee eection. Otherwise the election must be called within 60 days after the petition has been filed. Subsequent elections upon the same questions cannot be called within two years of any prior election.

Under this law those schools which integrated during the 1956-190 term are permitted to continue integration unless this system of operation is abolished by an election held in the.. manner mentioned above. Another pilovision under a section of the law dealing with integrated scia6ols is that a student shall not be denied transfer from one school to another because of race or color.

The bill provides that if a school district should desegregate without first being authorized to do so by an election of the qualified electors residing therein, then the district becomes ineligible for accreditation and ineligible to receive any Foundation Program Funds.

In other words, it loses State School Support funds.

The same penalty is placed upon a school district, already integrated which fails to segregate its scnools after an election calling for such action.

A fine of not less than $100 or more than $1,000 is provided for any person found guilty of violating any of the provisions of this dual school systera law.

(This coluirma, prepared by the State Bar of Texas, is written to inform not advise. No person should ever apply or interpret any law without the aid of an attorney who is fully advised concerning the facts involved, because a slight variance in fact may change the application of the law.)

The continuing trend toward "living" benefits to policy holders is shown by the Fact Book's disclosure that in 1956, these policy payments rose to $3,459,243,000, or nearly 59 per cent of the total benefit payments, to policyholders and beneficiaries. This marked the highest percentage since 1941.

Total benefit payments for 1956 were reported at $5,878,235,000, a year's increase of nearly $500,000,000.

•( ) • "Some new people moved in across the street at least six months ago," said a member of our church group the other day. "I intended to run over to call on them, but you know how it is. I didn't get around to it until yesterday. And was I astonished! The man came to the door, looking scared.

"Before I had a chance to tell him who I was, he blurted out, 'Is anything the matter? What's happened?' He just took it for granted that I must have come for some sort of help in an emergency.

"After the confusion had cleared, we talked about the decline in neighborliness. He said he and his wife had moved, a lot during the 15 years of married life and while they usually got a warm welcome from organizations like the Newcomers' Club, they seldom knew the names of the people next door and never laid eyes on them."

While . she talked my conscience gave I have some of the me nast y nicest people on earth as neighbors.

How do I treat them? As if they lived on the moon.

Like so many other women. I never have time for them. Of course, the chances are that none would be home if I ran in for a visit. Or my unexpected appearance would throw a monkey wrench into the household plans. EVerybody runs on such tight schedules these days that there are no extra minutes for such a simple act as a neighborly visit.
