ODDIL DOPISOYATELU Mt. Cahn, Texas Cteni bratIi a sestry:— Vdera 25. ledna maj brats, Hendra.

Snapka mel pohieb a tak na misto R yetin a k ucteni jeho pamatky zasilam Beset dolara na ten stavajici jiz dluh domova odpaeinku.

Po tejto sinutne udalosti derou se mi myglenk.y z minulosti a zda se mi, nebude na gkodu abych kratce uvedi myglenky na papir.

V roku 1893 nage matka prodala domek v dolnim Slezku a s nami peti kluky nejmlad gi tfi Leta a nejstar gi etrnact let vydala se na centu do Ameriky. Nag otec odjel o jeden rok dfive, ptijeli jsme do Weimar, desateho listopadu tam nas jiZ tata eekal, po kratkern pobyte u rodiny, odejeli jsme na West, ke krajanu kterk mel jmeno Nemec a tarn jsme byli nekolik tkdati, aZ tata za pomoci Frantika /Orme koupil 160 akra prerie porostle mu gketem, tarn tfl mile od dnegniho Penelope, tam nam pomahali postavit kryb Fr. Nemec a jeho sousedi, pak koupili pant mull a nastehovali jsme se do kfybu. Zde na to prerii nam nastal novk Zivot ale talk az k zoufalstvi, jezdili jsme pastrem cest tehdy nebylo rnosta nikde nebylo a bavina za 5 centu aji za 3 centy, bu gl korny 17 centu a jegte jsme platili sto gedesat dolara interesu ale i na to si museli rodioe vypujeit, a ta bida trvala etyfi roky, aZ v patent roku byla velika aroda baviny, korny, aji drobne zrni se povedlo. V torn roku aji take latemeno bylo uvolnene a od to doby byl Zivot veselejgi.

Moji rodide take meli radi spoleeenskk iivot ptistoupili do Jednoty SPJST k tadu Oslo 6 na West, radi jell do schtzi, povidali k v tech sehazich jsme si vgichni rovni bez rozdilu nabokenstvi a proto, ze uznavali takovk iivot za spray nk, tak aji nas klu.ky uvedli do Jed.noty krome jedneho kterk pfedeasne odegel z domova.

Dues mime dva lady na Penelope a pkee pfijdou pouze etyfi neb pet elenti do schaze hledaji ye vgem a na vgeckein chyb nic jim neni vhod a rozejdou se.

THE EDITOR'S DESK In The Interest Of FARMERS ADVISED ON INCOME TAX Farmers and ranchers are required by saves his own tax money in the long run Brotherhood law to pay their share of Federal in- by making it easier for Revenue to procFROM

come tax for 1957. The "who," "when," "where," and "how" of it are outlined here by Allison B. Clark, administrative officer of the Internal Revenue Service.

If the farmer or rancher had gross income of $600 or More during his taxable year and is a citizen of the United States he must file a Federal income tax return, even tlaough no tax is due. This even applies to minor children who are farm operators. If the farmer or ranchr is 65 years of age or over at the end of his taxable year, he is not required to file a return unless his gross income is $1,200 or more.

Mr. Clark emphasized that requirements for filing for self-employment tax purposes, which may lead to social security benefits later, are different from filing the usual income tax return.

ess his return. Last, but not least, by filing early the taxpayer stands less chance of forgetting this vital chore altogether, thus making himself liable to penalties for being delinquent.

Where To File Mail that return to the District Director of Internal Revenue Service for the district in which you live. The instructions accompanying the return forms lists directors' addresses and should be read carefully. Checks of money orders should be made payable to "Internal Revenue Service." ) • 4,

Be Careful Misrepresentations In Application The insured, at the time he made application for insurance, knew he was afflicted with a heart condition, but said nothing about it to the examining doctor, nor did he mention it in the application. The insurance agent was aware of the insured's condition, but did not pass the information on to his company.

On the trial a verdict was entered against the company. This matter was then considered on a motion to set aside the verdict.

Considerable argument was made to point out that the disclosure to the company's agent indicated a lack of intent to deceive the company. "The prior disclosure to the selling agent is convincing that the insured at the time of the physical examination knew the materiality of the information then withheld."

The insured must have been advised to disclose as little as possible to the medival examiner.

The verdict was set aside and the case dismissed.

(Castagno vs. Occidental Life Ins. Co. of Raleigh, 151 Fed. Supp. 781, — 1957).

When To File If the farmer receives at least twothirds of his gross income from farming and his taxable year started January 1, 1957, he has two choices of when to file his income tax. He may file his return. and pay the tax on or before February 17, following the close of his taxable year; or file an estimate of his tax and pay this amount by January 15, following the close of his taxable year.

He then must file his return and pay any balance due by April 15.

When the farmer's business year does not begin January 1, he may file his return and pay his tax on or before the 15th day of the second month of the succeeding taxable year. If he chooses, he may file an estimate within. 15 days and his return within three and onehalf months after the end of his tax able year.

File Early Internal Revenue urges farmers to file their income tax returns for 1957 as soon as they can conveniently do so.

Here is why. By filing early, the taxpayer usually saves himself money by avoiding costly errors due to the last minute Experience is something I always think scramble. By filing early the taxpayer I have until I get more.

Our American way of life is based on the concept of brotherhood: giving to others the same rights and privileges we would like for ourselves. Our free enterprise society is based on the concept of the utilization of the most efficient human skills and the most efficient machine skills. The challenge to all of us today — labor, management, government — is to implement these principles to their fullest extent in practice so that we may maintain and expand our system for the benefit of all.

We know, too, that as persons in socalled minority groups receive equal opportunities to increase their income, they add to the general prosperity of all. In addition, the cultural gap that exists in certain areas of our population can be bridged by increasing the opportunities for cultural advancement when income is increased through equal opportunities in the labor-management field.

We know that management seeks a stable community in which to establish new plants. Discrimination, causing restlessness in the community, is therefore a handicap to the industrial expansion of any. locality. Discrimination, unrestrained, can bring anarchy, threatening the basic structure of our law, which in addition to protecting human and civil rights, protects private property.

We must be sensitive, too, on the international level of the Russian propaganda of their superiority in granting equal opportunity.

For these and other reasons, we should practice brotherhood every day in the year. Brotherhood presents an opportunity to dedicate ourselves to the acceptance of every individual as a human being, with a spark of divinity, to be judged on his or her own capacity and merit. ) • .1* • ( Success is hard work that comes in the guise of good luck.

It's Time For Unified Action We have passed through. the season when Good Will Toward Men was uppermost in the minds of hundreds of thousands of men and women across the land. What a pitty that such feelings are not perpetuated throughout the year.

According to many, we have fallen on parlous times. According to others, we have nothing to worry about as a nation.

The truth may well be found somewhere in between these two opposing views.

But the time has certainly come when all of us should take a good look at ourselves, our communities, and our nation, for we have much to do.

One of the first items mentioned, following Russia's launching to the sputnik when concern over our own missiles program had begun to occupy our minds, was the need for more money. Yet none of us was conscious that there had ever been a shortage of money for the combined services or their missiles program.

We still believe that money is not the answer altogether — not by any means.

Exponents of Federal aid to education came in next with their criticism of those who opposed them, as we did and still do.

Assessing the blame for our apparent shortcomings too often assumes the cloak of politics, and those out of power are too prone to blame our shortcomings on those in power, thereby confusing the people. This should not be, and if continued, it may well spell disaster for our nation as a Whole.

We have been too complacent, that is true. We have taken it for granted that our success as the economic and industrial leader of the world would be perpetuated automatically.

We know that we will catch up if we are vigilant, but we have a long way to go before we restore world fonfidence in our nation that only a few months ago was the hope of the world.

Defeatism will not get the job done.

Jealousy will not get the job done, and certainly "politics as usual" will not get the job done.

Let us disagree, for that is our hera.tige. But let us not allow our disagreements to weaken our foundations.

If you can nut do anything else for your fraternity, please hand your fraternal paper to your neighbor or friend.

It could be that you can win him over to become our friend and member of our Brotherhood the S.P.J.S.T.

VESTION -- WEST, West, Texas DEAR VESTNIK READERS:

Strain 15: Brother Cerny was spearhead of this "Over the Tap" movement among 'higro organizers as well as the concluding Celebration, as was conseded him by the organizers themselves as we ll as the membership. He promised. to do even better in 1938!

As most of you have probably read in the recent issue of your Vestnik, our District Seven had their "Over the Top" celebration for District Seven Organizers of our SPJST at the "La Parita" Lodge 161, in Jourdanton, Texas, last Sunday The next morning after filling up .tlie' Jan. the 26th. tank of our car, we leisurely headed toward Jourdanton, the last lap of our The weatherman smiled upon Texas trip.

The" parts of Texas began to assemble. busy sisters in the kitchen prepared a

Fkrana 16 aiffet style table for the folks with hounds of delicious barbecued chicken nd all that goes with it. They were apprehensive lest they might not have onough food to go around, but I believe they worked it out very satisfactorily, Anyway, everyone seemed to be full and ontented. Our sincerest thanks to your hi is in that kitchen, and to all of those who contributed to the board.

The San Antonio Czech Orchestra set up house under the direction of Brother Ad. Bundil to give us some fine polka music. They promised us all a lot more of the same after the Meeting and asked the songsters in the crowd to prepare themselves for a songfest, which is always popular.

Brother Balcar, President of La Parita 161, called the meeting to order at 2:15 p.m. after the tables were all cleared and turned the microphone over to Brother Charles Cerny, District Organizer of District Seven.

The gathering was then informed that the Celebration was in the way of congratulating District Seven Orglanizers for doubling their insurance sales for the year 1957 ocer that of the previous year, as did the Organizers of District Three and District Five of our SPJST. Brother Joe B. Hejny, Vice President the Supreme Lodge and Director of the organizers and their insurance selling work, then gave us some statistics on the amount of insurance sold by the three above mentioned Districts who doubled their sales and he set the goal for 1958 at $3,000,000 of new insurance, with $300,000 set for District Seven.

Brother Cerny then began calling out names of his Organizers to come up to the podium to take a bow, receive a small personal gift, and where eligible, a briefcase, with the admonishion to keep the briefcase full of coming new insurance. He briefly gave a sketch of each organizers achievement to which there was a spontaneous round of applause.

Their beloved, past president, Brother Miculka, who because of his long illness had to resign the chair, was present in a wheelchair convalescing, and as his presence was made known by Brother Cerny, friends and members gathered around him to wish him Godspeed which was very touching. Everyone was so glad to see him among the crowd.

Another outstanding SPJST booster, Sister Marie Veroda, was introduced and applauded for her outstanding lodge work among our membership. Sister Veroda is now in semi-retirement, taking up fishing as a hobby. Bless you, Sister!

M. Skrabanek Lodge 88, (who was not present but sent U.S a cablegram all the way from Santiago, Chile in South America where he is on a Good Will Tour with a Houston delegationof the Chamber of Commerce, and who alone signed up more than $295,000 insurance; Chas. Novosad of La Parita; Sister Marie Blanar of San Antonio Lodge 133; Brother Chas. Holasek of Corpus who is also on the Board of Directors of our Supreme Lodge; Sister Bessie Janca of Sinton who plans to attend the Insurance Course at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas this coming February; Brother Frank Satsky who became organizer in the spring of 1957, and did such a great job of writing insurance for both the Corpus Christi lodges, and who promised to .double his sales in 1958 over that of last year; Brother Jaroslav Kleperlik of San Antonio, also District President of the eventh District, who in less than a year as organizer has been instrumental in signing more than $36,500 of new insurance. Brother Kleperlik was also highly commended by his fellow workers for his loyalty and love for this work.

We hope we have spelled everyone's name correctly, we tried to get the facts down on paper as fast as they came up and trust our notes are satisfactory.

Brother Cerny then introduced Brother Arnold Vrla of Dallas, District Organizer of the Third District, who likened the selling of insurance to that of "courting" your girl; you first woe her and then propose. An insurance salesman has to woe his prospect, sometimes making two to three trips to see him and then proposes his signing the dotted line. Br. Vrla introduced the top organ izer of Lodge Pokrok 84 of Dallas, our Brother Emil Petr who sold 43 members and $48,000 of insurance in 1957 and his pretty wife, Sister Bessie Petr who is also Pokrok's Youth Director. The president of Pokrok 84, our Brother Sid Pokladnik took his bow as did his lovely lady, Sister Justine. Brother Fred Steiner one of the "old guard" of Pokrok 84, and his charming daughter Anne, took their bow.

We were all informed that the San Antonio Lodge 133, plan to build a new Lodge Hall. Congratulations! Seems to be catching in District Seven and we wish for them to not falter!

Welnezd?y, February. 5, 195$ Brother Cerny introduced another loyal and faithful SPJST worker in that part of the country, one of their pioneer members, a typical Czech maminka, in the La Parita area, '78 year old Sister Kremenek, Wave upon wave of applause greeted Sister Kremenek as she mounted the platform. She told us through the "mike" that this Lodge work was her love among her people but that inevitable age, plus her failing eyesight and consequently inability to write, caused her to retire from active participation but that her heart was still in it. As the dear sister was helped off the speaker's platform, it put many of us younger ones to shame for our indigence.

Brother Sid Pokladnik encouraged the District Seven membership to march courageously forward, that a Lodge Hall need not be a palace or a skyscraper to be home, that "home was where love is."

Brother Steiner followed Brother Sid's thoughts in the same vein of encouragement and well wishing.

The introduction of the Dallas visitors, the Pokladniks, Steiners, Peters, Pavelkas; then the Houston delegation, Tim Kostom, the Rudy Sefciks, the Ermises, Sister Olexa and 'Sister Joe Skrabanek, wife of the popular organizer of Lodge 88 in Houston who is at present in South America — all were presented to the crowd. Although Sister Skrabanek does not speak Czech, she has found her way into the hearts of our membership for her loyal companionship to our Brother Joe on his safaris to the different parts of our big state to boost SPJST insurance, and her graciousand friendly manner and warm smile have endeared her to us. We love you Sister Skrabanek!

Then the good folks from Corpus Christi. who came just as far to the Celebration as did the Dallas group only from a different direction took a bow, to applause of all.

The Master of Ceremonies then invited all those present to attend the District III Meeting which is to be held in Fort.

Worth, Texas at our own Lodge Svaz Cechoslovanu No. 92 on Roberts Cut-Off on the fourth Sunday, 23rd of March, to repay the visit honored La Parita from District Three.

Brother Juricek, Secretary of La Partto Lodge (an old friend of ours from Ennis) thanked all those present for coming and making this Celebration such a success; for all the well wishes and words of encouragement given them there today.

Brother Cerny introduced the members of the Supreme Lodge, Brothers Brothers Holasek and Navratil, two directors of the Supreme Lodge. Each made a short speech.

Brother Marek pointed out that it

rresday-;. February -.5,- 1959 mattered 'not What part of the state we may live in or the community we come from; that we meet in this Lodge 161 on an equal level, that we must show with our fraternal work that we are bound together in fraternal work and as fraternalists extend helping hand in time of need and distress -- that this is fraternity in action.

Brother Chupick reminesced back to the years when as young real estate broker, he helped bring new settlers to a new land, to the time when La Parita School was built, to the fond memories of those hardworking Czech early settlers whose exemplary lives in this community have made it what it is today.

Brother Chupick congratulated the organizers of this district that have achieved such , success. He said, "If you find that you have run out of Czech prospects, take some of those other folks to join our order. They are just as fine as we are."

The sun began its westward trip to warn us that we simply must leave, so we bid all of them farewell. We know they all had a good time later after the speech making was over for the mood for dancing and a songfest was just right.

I'm sure that "Lodge La Parita" agree that in spite of all the work involved, it was worth the good time they all had which will long be remembered.

We missed our marker in San. Antonio and had to go through the city, so we hit those bad detours after dark after all. We ran into several wrecks on the road home and were glad when we passed that stretch.

Our sincere thanks to you all for the invitation, the nice time and the many sincere and nice things so many of you said to us about the way you liked your Vestnik. To Brother Cerny and his charming and gracious wife for their kindness. They have two lovely little daughters, blonde as buttercups! We did enjoy our visit and hope that this description will be a part of our history of District Seven.

As one speaker once said "It's not quantity of the membership but the quality that makes a Lodge," so La Polito., keep up the good start that you have and the quantity will take care of itself. Our sincerest best wishes to you.

We love you all and hope to see you again real soon, in the meantime, write a line or too to your Vestnik. Will you?

FROM SUPREME LODGE DEAR MEMBERS: Since we bring our monthly business to a close on the 25th of each month the report made in December showed only the insurance actually issued by the 25th, and since we had a large carry-over of insurance written in December. I am sending you this supplementary report, it shows the amount of insurance written in 1957.

We actually wrote $2,244,000.00 in insurance in 1957, which is an increase of $941,750.00 over 1956, or just $360,500.00 short of doubling our sales in the state.

We have 32 organizers that doubled their sales this year. Districts No. 3, 5 and 7 doubled their sales and Districts No. 1 and 6 increased their sales.

Sister Anna Milan secured the greatest number of new members, a total of 150, Brother J. M. Skrabanek leads in the amount of insurance written with a total of $295,000.00 We have several organizers that did exceptionally well this year.

Some of the newly appointed organizers did a good job too, this year. Brother Emil Petr and Stanley Vrla wrote over $50,000 each. Brothers Jaro Kleprlik, Bennie Jarma and R. J. Lostak wrote over $30,000 each. Brother Fr. Vytopil wrote $18,000. Frank Sacky wrote $23,000 and even though Brother Fred Socha is not a newly appointed organizer, nor did he write an enormous amount of insurance, he did write $18,000 of his district's $32,000.

There are many more I would like to mention but since I am enclosing the report, you may make your own comparison as to what each organizer wrote in 1957.

I wish to thank all of you for your splendid cooperation with me and your district organizers last year.

Dear Youth Directors: The first Youth Directors activity report came this morning from Sister Paine Hrabina of Lodge No. 25 in Ennis, she reports they held their meeting Janua ry 17, at the National Hall with 30 children and 16 adults attending.

After the meeting they played games and danced. They are planning a Valentine Party for February 15.

Lodge No. 133 in San Antonio and Lodge No. 39 in Bryan are anticipating on buying or building new Halls, and Lodge Nor 130 in Dallas is going in together with the Dallas Sokol. They will start building the new hall real soon..

This means that the members of these lodges have a lot of interest in lodge work and as soon as they will have their Halls, they too, will have a lot of activity going on in their communities.

I am sure there are many other lodges that have their Youth Clubs started. I will report on these just as soon. as I hear from them.

Wednesday, February 5, 1958 Hearsay is a word often heard during a trial. Hearsay may involve a statement by a third person of a conversation between two other persons. It would be hearsay if Jones were asked to tell the court what he overheard Smith tell Greene. With certain exceptions, evidence of this type is excluded because it is not reliable, and might open the door to false testimony.

A lawyer objects to evidence he does not believe is proper. If a lawyer objects to evidence because it is irrelevant, he means that the evidence is of such little importance that it has no bearing on the case, and if admitted it would bog down the trial so that the time needed doesn't justify its admittance.

Opinion evidence of one not an expert is not admissible since such opinion carries no weight.

The next meeting of District 3 will be held the 4th Sunday of March the 23rd When an objection is sustained by the at the Fort Worth Lodge 92, on Roberts Cut-off Road. — Beginning at 10:00 a.m. judge the evidence is not received.

Court Rules Have PtirDOSeS Are you hopelessly confused by court room procedure? Words such as "objection," "overruled," "sustained," "hearsay," "irrelevant" and "opinion" are m e^ hag] oss to many persons.

The purpose of a trial is to settle disputes that the parties cannot settle by themselves. Before these disputes can be settled, the facts which give rise to them must be established. This sounds simple, but on the contrary it is a difficult task. If the parties agree on the facts the job would be easy, but each side hats its own version.

The trial court has the job of estabL. lishing the facts. This is accomplished by questioning witnesses and the introduction of physical evidence. This requires application of the rules of evidence.

Through the years the law of evidence has been established. The rules place restraints on what type of evidence is proper. They have the effect of protecting the rights of the parties by insuring a fair trial.

What is a clique? Those who attend All the meetings and on whom we depend; They are never absent unless they are sick; They are the ones the grouches call the Clique.

The ones who are never behind in their dues, Who come to the meeting and have their own views.

They'll serve on committees and never say die.

The Clique are the ones who always get by.

They never attempt any duty to shirk; Those in the Clique do most of the work., We should always be proud of members like these; You can call them whatever you please.

But there are always some people who always find fault; And most of this kind are not worth their salt; They like to start trouble — seldom will -they stick, They like to put all the work on the

injured, his friends' or neighbors' children, pets or personal belongings. These ideals can be instilled in a child only through proper guidance and training during their formative years. Talk with•ut action will not accomplish anything, nor will a childs membership in an inactive Youth Club be of any benefit. But a Youth Club Director who is sincerely interested in working with young people can direct their energy into useful channels of work and play, and can, by example and suggestion, implant the principles of right living and thinking. The boys and girls must train to play together in a normal wholesome way, if they can acquire skills that will give joy throught life, they will learn the fine art of getting along with people, with tollerance, and respect. This is no small undertaking but the reward is in the satisfaction that comes from seeing our children develop into young people who will be a credit to their country, community, their family . and Order.

(To Be Continued) ) • 4 • WHO IS A TRUE AMERICAN? AN AMERICAN is one who believes in the right of men and women of whatever creed, class, color or ancestry, to live as human beings with dignity becoming the children of God. AMERICAN is one who believes in the right to be free; free not only from crushing cocercions and dictatorships and regime ntation, but free for that way of life whene men may think andspeak as they ch oose and worship God as they see fit.

• AN AMERICAN is one who believe in the right to vote, the right to work, the right to learn, the right to live, and — what is equally important — the right to be different; for he knows that if we ever lose the right to be different we . lose the right to be free.

AN AMERICAN is one who believes in democracy, not only for himself but - for all his fellow-Americans. democracy he means not simply the rule of the • majority but the right of minorities; and those minorities have rights, not, because they are minorities but because they are human beings.

AN AMERICAN is one who believes in the responsibilities' of privilege. What he asks for himself, he is wiling to grant to others; -what he demands from others, he is willing to give himself. Ills creed is "Live and help Live not alone "live and let live," but "live and help live.

SPJST LA PARITA LODGE NO. 161 JOURDANTON, TEXAS The members of Lodge La Parita No. 161 say "Thank you" to all that attended the dinner and evening entertainment at our Hall for our organizers.

We enjoyed having you and hope you enjoyed being with us. The project was a great success due to you. An extra thank you, to Brother Cerny for making it possible for us to have the celebration at our La Parita Lodge Hall. Also for the interesting program.

Everyone enjoyed the good music of the San Antonio Czech Orchestra.

To our Lodge, the conamittee wishes to thank all of you that gave so willingly of your time, help and donations.

We hope you will come back again.

4,14, LODGE KAREL JONAS NO. 28 EAST BERNARD, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: It is time again to inform all the members of our Lodge that we will hold our annual meeting at the SPJST Sunday, February 9. The meeting will be started at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

We would like to see more members present at the meetings in the New

District No. 7 deserves a big hand for their succes,s in doubling the sale of our SPJST insurance. It seems it was just fun and play to them to reach their goal. As far as insurance is concerned they know how to go after it. And as far as celebrating they should get a diploma. Why? Because, people flocked in from all over. The new home of lodge No. 161 was bulging on the sides with all the visitors from all over the state.

How they done it I surely don't know.

But I figure it must be the push Charlie Cerny, district No. 7 organizer put into this affair, and really made a success of it. The weather was really in their favor, it was a nice day to get out and do something. And I must say they done it. It was very pleasing to see our supreme officers on hand, it makes the members feel like they are appreciated for their efforts. I know it is hard to travel miles and miles on a Sunday after working a whole week. But, that's what we members do. Work for our living during the week and on Sunday we travel hundreds of miles just to reasure our brothers and sisters of the SPJST that we fully appreciate what they accomplished and feel happy with them in their success. And all this is just another bright feather in the cap of our great SPJST. After spending the night in the very nice and comfortable court (the owner Brother Charlie Cerny) we drove out to the new home of lodge No. 161, the Place was already swarming with visitors and hand shaking started with old and new acquaintances. And most surprising, I met the Novosad's, have-nt' seen them in years they raised a wonderful family and one good organizer for our SPJST in Chas. Novosad. Being a beginner he really did good in 1957.

More power to you, Charlie.

And what a dinner they served. Barbecued chicken with all the trimmings, and besides plenty of everything, the peatry was also good. To cater to a crowd like that, takes planning and you people did it just fine. After the good dinner the orchestra started to play our lively polkas and waltzes and it was pleasant to listen. About at 2 p. m, Charlie Cerny as master of ceremony presented the organizers of district '7 and also gave the top ten a gift of ap-

Wednesday, February 5, 1958 predation on his part. I think that was very thoughtful of you Charlie. He also introduced Sister Kremenek a long time roganizer, he thanked her for her splendid work in the past years. Sister Kremenek resigned as organizer because, she is not able to get around as she used to in the past, therefore she is handing this work to others. She said" I always loved to work for 'our SPJST and I will continue to do so in the future whatever I can do." Is'nt that wonderful?

The program was a little longer than expected, but not tiresome we enjoyed every minute of it. After the program the orchestra started to play again and it did not take long and the floor was whirling with couples dancing with joy.

And as the day was coming to a close, we also had to think about leaving these wonderful people. A hand shake a good-bye and we were on our way to Houston. Before I close I want to thank Brother and Sister Cerny for their gracious hospitality, you made us feel right at home. Thanks again.

We enjoyed every minute and I hope we will be able to greet you in our midst some times soon. In fact we have something special planned for February the 16th. It is a Czech play "Omlazeny dedecek" look for the advertising and details, we would be overjoyed to have you. Closing with wonderful memories about you wonderful people, in district No. 7.

1.-'0gTS FLOM LOCAL LODGE5 LODGE 1ROKROK DALLAS Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: The following members were elected to the Entertainment Committee of our Lodge for 1958. Sisters Bessie Petr, Lillie Jarma, Annie Marek, (teenager) Bobby Ann Staglik and Brothers Bill Gaiser, John Kubacak, Jerome Rejcek, Anton Janousek; (teenager) James Janou.sek; Henry Miller and Ben Jarma.

The Entertainment Committee held their first meeting on Wednesday Night, January 15 at our lodge hall. First on the agenda was to elect an Entertainment Chairman, and Brother Ben Jarma was elected. Other various duties were.assigned to each Committee Member and each agreed to handle their assignment for the coming year, however, all the members of our lodge are urged, to cooperate with the Committee and to help them out when you can. Don't always wait to help until asked, but when you see that someone needs help, please, volunteer your services as no one on the committee receives any monetary rewards. Brothers and sisters, with your continued support, assistance and cooperation your lodge can move no other way, but forward.

So let's all make the year of 1958 the "best yet ever" at our lodge.

On January 19, our regular monthly meeting had one of the largest attendance in years and we were also honored with guests from other lodges, Brother Cherny from San Antonio, Texas, Brother Hugo Schefcak from Lodge 130 and Brother Arnold Vrla also from Lodge No. 130. Their talks were enjoy-: ed by everyone present and we hope you will visit us again in the near future., The "Family Night" Get-together after the meeting was also well attended as about 85 people were there for refreshmentS and games. This is indeed encouraging to the Enttertainment Committee as we have agreed to continue having our "Family Night" once a month, right after the 3 •d Sunday meeting, as long as enough members participated to make it enjoyable and profitable. So we hope a lot more of you get into the habit of coming to the "Family Night" and bring along your children and friends everyone is invited. We have food available in the kitchen, now under the capable hands of Brother Bill Sill and Sister Mary Sill.

Gaines are played in the card room where some of our older members play their favorite games, also our younger memberS have their favorite games in which they participate. The mothers

and children play games in our conference room while our teenagers dance to the music of their favorite 'records on the Juke box. The small kiddies themselves have a wonderful time running and playing games, We are hoping to increase our attendance at our next family night and let's go well over the 100 mark. Couple of our good sisters got together and bought us some fancy bingo cards which will eliminate the use of the old fashioned kind with corn.

Sisters, we deeply. appreciate your generosity.

We will see you all at the meeting 3rd Sunday, February 16, and if you cannot come to the meeting, then please come out about 6:00 or 6:30 for the food, fun. On Wednesday Night, January 22, 1958, The "Eddie Skeets" Orchestra from Bigelow, Minnesota . played at our hall for a special dance which was well attended and everyone seemed to enjoy their wonderful music, as they did play real good. Thanks to everyone who attended.

Our next dance will be Saturday, Feb. 15 and the J. Dlabaj orchestra will play for the dance. This is our last dance, until April 6, "Easter Sunday". As is the custom of our lodge, no dances will be held during the lenten season. The very popular Joe Pokladnik orchestra will play for our Easter Sunday Dance on April 6.

This year for the first time in several years, two teenagers were elected to our Entertainment Committee and we feel we can mix the teenagers viewpoint along with the adult thinking and we sincerelly hope we can plan the kind of entertainment that all our members will like along with all our friends and visitors, who attend our dances and social activities.

We wish to thank Brother Emil Chmelar and Raymond Smith for all the work you both did while serving on the 1957 committee and we deeply appreciate the willingness you both have ex-a pressed to continue helping the entertainment committe for the coming year when needed, though you have retired officially from our committee.

We will submit a schedule of our dances at a later date, when all the arrangements are made with the orchestras, for your convinence. Thankhr you all for your support in 190 a ad hoping for even bigger and tell: r ,hings in 1958 for our Lodge aini its members.

Fraternally yours, Brother Ben Jarma, Entertainment Chairman

THANKS TO 500 SPJST MEMBERS San Antonio, Texas It's practically a physical impossibility to write a personal message to Organizers' Celebration at Jourd.anton Sunday the 26th of January.

It was well attended, not only by District Seven members and Organizers but also had quite a few visitors from District V, District II, and possibly other districts, and let's not forget District III, which was represented by Brother F. B. Steiner and daughter, Annie; Brother and Sister Sid Pokladnik; Brother and Sister Emil Petr; Brother and Sister Jim Pavelka, Brother Joe B. Hejny, Brother and Sister L. 0. Hosek and my family.

The barbecued chicken which was served for dinner was excellent. Then District Organizer Chas. Cerny had a nice program prepared for the afternoon. He awarded prizes to his top ten organizers of District Seven. Brother Joe B. Hejny also awarded prizes to Organizers that have earned them.

The meeting was inspirational and everyone present should have learned something from it. It is meetings like these that build good will and fellowship, that make our order stronger, and bring us closer to one another as brothel-, and sisters should be. each of us, as members of SPJST attend not only our District Meetings tut also our own local lodge meetings - m' : e them worth while and that's the way we will reach our ultimate goal — Brotherhood and Fraternalism!

The other night after rehearsal I had a chat with one of your versatile Czech players, Mr. John Starcala, who is sitting this Czech play out after performing in many of our past plays and this is what he has to say: I quote "OmiazenY dedecek" has been shrewdly placed by the dramatic directors as the play of the year which will long be remembered by the ones who see it. . . the selection of players which will perform are ones with great talent and indeed deserves much credit to help keep alive the Czech plays that you seldom see in our SPJST Order of today. I sincerely hope the many Czech people of our SPJST Order do respond to see this unusual mixed up "Onilazeny ddecek" and show their appreciation to the hard working actors who so diligently, unselfishly and willingly continue to keep alive your Czech plays" — end of quote.

He worked very hard this past year and under his presidency we feel we accomplished a lot. We hope he will feel free to come and join us any time he can and we feel he hates to leave the club as much as we hate to lose him.

The barriers despite the efforts of the best-Intentioned men and women to tear them down.

On the global scene, the barriers are pkilitical. President Eisenhower's passionate belief in a "people" program of friendship can never materialize while despotic Communist rulers isolate their subjects from the world beyond.

That, obviously, is because unhampered communication and interchange between the people of the free world and the people of the Communist world would mean the end of totalitarian oppression, the end of 20th century slavery.

So it's a matter of Communist policy to be against true brotherhood — or call it true democia.cy. There's no future in it for the rulers.

But there is hope — and measurable progress, too, as long as rational men

Strana 25 and women can cooly examine and dissect their prejudices. Under objective scrutiny, those prejudices are bound to thaw out.

No, it doesn't happen everywhere or every time by any means, but we think it happens more and more. As it does, the cause of brotherhood gains.

IMMIGRATION & NATURALIZATION

By Calvin C. Chervenka

QUESTION: Recently I filed a petition with the Immigration Service for a preference visa for my sister and received a letter from the Service stating that my "visa petition has been approved by this Service." A short time later my sister received a similar notice from the American consulate nearest her, but with the additional word that until receipt of further notice, she should not get in touch with the consulate. After waiting six months and hearing nothing from the consulate, my sister went there in spite of the instructions, but was unable to get satisfactory information, except that the consulate will send a notice to her in due time. I do not understand why her immigration is delayed in spite of the fact that my petition was approved.

Saturday, February 8

After the meeting, we had a fine supper served the guests, suprevised by our loyal Sisters: Valcik, Fitz, Nesuda. After supper we had Rev. Svoboda of Taylor, Texas, give an interesting lecture with pictures of his travels over Czechoslovakia which were well received and enjoyed by everyone. I, myself, was interested in the exact spot where the 21 Czech Nobels were beheaded and their heads displayed for such a long time as a warning, also the Chapel and Church where John Hus officiated. I have always admired the courage of John Hus as a man, who rather than surrender the principles for which, he stood, faced death of burning at the stake.

He was one of our finest men, who sparkled the first movement for religious liberty and democracy in the 14th ANSWER: Your sister undoubtedly century, whose democratic principles we comes from a country in which not only also enjoy today in the U.
