Jednou z nejdulelitej gich stranek americke nstavy je, Ze ji lze pozmeniti.

Postup, kterY je p •i torn tteba, sledovati. je uveclen v same Ustave. Autoti toho dokumentu postarali se v gak velmi 0bezretne o to, aby zavacleni podobnYch zmen nebylo prilis snadne a aby se tak z kaZde zmeny odraZelo skutecne prai21 vetg iny a,merickeho naroda.

Jakakoli zmena Ustavy zapoeina, jednim ze dvou zpilsobtl: bud' schvalenim dvema ttetinand hlast vSeen senator* a kongresnikil, ,nebo zakrokem zakonodaren dvou tretin Etate na konvenci, svolane se zretelem na predloleiri navrhu na dodatek k *stave. V kaZdem pripade je toto pouze prvni krok. NavrZenY dodatek rnerZe se stati zakonem teprve Po dovr geni kroku druheho, t. j. pa pkijeti dodatku statninn zakonodarnand th etvrti stata, eili 36 ze 48.

V *stave se nestanovi, kdo smi nebo nesmi navrhovati dodatek, taide nic nebrain presidentovi, aby tak ueinil. Behem let bylo pteclloleno kongresu nebo statnim zakonodarnam vice neZli 3,000 rtavrb* na dodatky, z nichZ se v gak stalo easti astavy toliko 22.

Prvnich deset clodatkti, znamSrch pod nazvem. Listiny pra y, bylo prijato zahy po podepsani Ustavy. Jimi zarucuje se mimo jine i svoboda nabolenskeho ptesvedeeni ,slova a tisku, ochrana pted neoditvodnenou invasi soukromi pollen a razna ochrana lidi, kteri se dostali na "Stir se zaltonern, Staty, kte,re zavdaly podniA k ternto desiti dodatkfun, obavaly se nadmirne federalni mod e. cutely proto jegte dodateene zajistiti ureita prava jednotlivcil, 1. kdyl existence techto pra y byla jlz rtaznadena v *stave same. Pozdejsi dodatky postaraly se o zasecleni dank z prijmu, o ptimou volbu senator*, o hlasovaei pravo Zen, o ochranu proti diskriminaci pro rasa: nebo vyznani, atd.

Historie devatenacteho dodatku, kterm se udeluje hlasovaci pra y() Zenean, je jednim z nejza.jima,vel gich ptibehti pri pozmeflovani tstavy. Boj o ziskani tohoto prava 2aeal vlastne jiz petasedrndesat let pied konednym sehvalenim dodatku roku 1920, a byl veden skoro vYhradne Zenarni.

Prvni opravdurg,,a.rdsovane *sin o ziskani vetejneho mineni ve pro,spech tohoto prava bylo uoineno roku 1898 na konvenci, svolane prave za tim freelem do Seneca Falls, v Novem Yorku. Mezi touto konveuel a konecnym viterstvim

Pnvodne ziskaly Zeny hlasovaci pram v jednotlivYch stateeh, a prave v nick nalehaly pak na sve senatory a kongresniky, aby tito se vynasnaZili prosaditi ustavni dodatek, kterY by udelil toto pravo Zenam po cele zerni.

TakovYto dodatek byl ptedlolen kongresu jedenaetyrycetkrat, neZli byl koneene v kvetnu 1919 schvalen domem re-. presentantil a senatem. Pri jedne lelitosti sam president Wilson primlouvau se v senate za jeho ptijeti. KdyZ se tak koneene stalo, bylo titeba eekati jeSte rok a tti mesice, neZli ho postupne schvalily till etvrtiny v g'ech state a neli se 19. dodatek stal 26. srpna 1920 easii Ustavy.

MoZnost meniti po zralern uvaZeni stavu representuje podstatnou slaku americke vladni soustavy. Ustava SpojenYch Stata je nejstar gim dokumentem sveho druhu na svete, a cast zasluhy za jeji trvanlivost musime pfieisti k dobru prave ()norm opatteni, ktere umoZnuje rozgirovani *stay)/ o dohte promyglene dodatky.

Jestli jste ten dopis eetli, a mate toto prvni eislo Vestniku doma, vyhledejte si eislo a preetete si ten dopis; jest velice poueny.

V prvnim odstavei tohoto dopisu jsem se zminil o tom, 2e doP isY dfile2ite pro elenstvo se setkaji s inrazivYm mleenim, jestli ne s primYm pokaranim. A zcle to maine!

Ve Vestniku eisio 2, ze 8. iedna t. r. na strance druhe, treti sloupec, nalezneto nasledujici: Na,g iin dopisova,teliim k uvaieni "Kd.y2 kdykoliv najclete zpravu aneb zpravy ye Vestniku ktere se yam nezda' ji byti dle va geho nazirani dosti jasne aneb spravne, neb se nesrovnavaji jedna s druhou, drive nc2 o to veci se rozhodnete psati do naseho Vestniku — Prosim pigte radeji peirno na Hiavni fieadov nu y Temple. 7,adejte tam vysvetleni o veci neb veeieh ktere si pkejete mit objasnene.

The other day on my way to Fort Worth I sat next to a man on the bus who was unknown to me but real soon we struck up a conversation. It developed that he worked for a railroad and on his time off was a secretary to a lodge.

His conversation did not center around the nine or ten hours he worked for the railroad but rather about those two or three hours spent on his fraternal work for therein was his heart — his enjoyment. No words of mine can adequately express this spirit for it is something you feel only if you belong to a fraternal order.

sibility — of "plucking a thistle" and in its place "planting a flower."

So long as the fraternals continue in their efforts to offer protection to the public and couple such coverage with a faith in each other, there can be no cause for con-cern in the fraternal structure. And so long as your members select officers capable in management, we shall have faith in your future — as you fulfilled our hopes in the past. Friendliness, Interest, Mutual Trust and the Hand of Help — this is the faith that has made America. ( ) # ele

Modern Life Insurance Selling

The field worker needs to worry about his mental development.

No man or woman can grow in any line of work — building a house or building a life insurance program — if he doesn't study his work.

Life underwriting is expanding. Insurance is being writen today to meet needs that forty years ago we never knew existed. Then life insurance for business purposes was seldom written, because fieldworkers had not developed mentally to know the needs. The expansion in this and every other area has come about because fieldworkers developed their thinking.

Through this mental development, The person who does not provide adequate financial security for his family, they found new needs. They worried or for himself, is unknowingly in the until they knew how it fit life insurance to those needs. life insurance business.

When a Man C rries His Own Risk

Our discussion today must also include an element of togetherness, coupled with a mutual trust. In your lodge meeting you will argue a point strongly and firmly but after the matter is thoroughly discussed and a vote is taken you act in concert — as one. Feelings may be ruffled for after a.11 that is human nature but there is no deviation of loyalty in pursuing the common goal. There is probably no finer illustration of Democracy today than the procedure in these lodge meetings — to thrash out a problem in its ramifications and then act as one in the effectuation of our plans.

He is assuming the risk of financial distress for his family in the event of his permanent death and the risk of arriving at old age financially dependent up on charity. Although this person assumes the risk, he does not realize that there is a premium to be paid, either by his widow or by himself. Then the premium is measured in unhappiness, dependency upon charity, and personal sacrifice.

The last factor that I offer is the hand of help that the fraternal order offers, I do not mean the obligation that arises from contractual commitments. The friendships that are nurtured in our lodge meetings go beyond the meeting places and meeting times for you will find a member finding out if he can help his lodge friends in carting sick supplies, or looking after the children, or bringing in the groceries, etc., errands.

Abraham Lincoln, many years ago, typified the spirit of the fraternals when he said — "Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who know me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow." That is our respon-

Fieldworkers who are concerned with their mental development are the ones who enroll for advanced study courses.

They are the ones who go to meetings and conventions. They are always looking for new ideas.

These fieldworkers do not have peace of mind with things as they 'are. They have an anxiety to grow in their work.

Make Your Home A Safer Place Housecleaning? From the fire-safety angle, the National Board of Fire Underwriters suggests starting in the basement, where many hazards exist.

Rubbish — old magazines and newspapers, furniture, old rags and other things are combustibles. Get rid of them.

Furnace — It's dangerous when dirty.

Have it cleaned regularly. Don't put off necessary repairs.

Living Room — Your television set, if placed too close to the wall, may become a fire hazard. (Never tinker with it and be careful not to cover up the ventilation holes that dispose of accumulated heat.)

Misuse of electricity — accounts for 15 per cent of all fires in the home.

Best check all your electrical appliances including irons, waffle irons, mixers, heaters, lamps fans, radio and other devices. Make sure that the cords are in good condition, that they bear the little UL tag that denotes listing by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. Multiple attachment plugs — a serious danger in overloading circuits. All rooms should have an adequate number of outlets to take care of all electrical appliances.

Flexible extension cords — should be in the open (none placed under rugs or over hooks and only 15 ampere fuses for your household lighting circuits.

JUST LIVING IS A BUSINESS Back in pioneer times our forefathers found they could keep track of the family history pretty well with a few notations on the flyleaf of the family Bible. But life's not that simple any more. Great-grandpa wasn't covered by social security or workman's compensation. He didn't have a bank or safe deposit box, a car and a dozen home appliances being bought on time payment, or a half-dozen insurance policies.

We have taxes great-grandpa never heard of and wouldn't have believed if he had. And you asked him for a certificate to prove his birth, he'd have thought you'd taken leave of your senses.

The point of this is that the average American today has a good many important papers to keep track of. There are birth certificates, receipts, copies of tax returns, sales contracts, and a host of other papers. With a little tidy record-keeping you can make life easier for yourself and your family when you are gone.

Here are some suggestions: 1. Get a heavily bond notebook folder or file folder as a central collecting point for all the records of your affairs 2. Put your especially important papers in your safe deposit box, but make a list of those papers and a brief summary of their contents to put in your home file.

3. Get for your files copies of birth certificates for all members of the family, and add them to the file Add your marriage license or at least a statement as to when and where you were married and by whom.

EXCERPTS FROM THE MINUTES OF HIE FIRST REGULAR 1958 QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE SUPREME LODGE, SPJST, HELD AT THE OFFICE OF THE SUPREME LODGE, AT TEMPLE, TEXAS, ON JANUARY 9, 1958.

The meeting was opened by President Marek at 9:15 a. m. All members of the Supreme Lodge, except Director Pod. were present.

Director Rod was not present at the meeting, being confined to a hospital in Houston, after a very seriours operation.

Brother L. 0. Hosek, Editor of the Vestnik, was also present.

Secretary Chupick read the minutes of the Supreme Lodge meeting held on Oct. 10, 1957. Upon motion by Director Cervenka, seconded by Director Stepan, and unanimously carried, these minutes were approved and adopted, as read.

Before beginning his report President Marek called attention to Brother Rod's absence because of serious illness and stated that he was sure that all the memberrs of the Supreme Lodge join him in wishing Brother Rod a speedy recovery.

In referring to his written report President Marek stated that the organizational work met with more than normal success during the year 1957; that the reports of all the officers of the Supreme Lodge indicate that the Order has made a good gain or growth in all its departments and concluded by saying that while the goal, which was set for by the Organizational Department, was not achieved, that the results were satisfactory and that he hoped results achieved in 1958 would surpass those of last year.

President Marek than referred to his written report to the Supreme Lodge.

He explained and commented on the various phases of it. He reported that since the last meeting of the Supreme Lodge two meetings of the Insurance Committee were held one on Nov. 25, 1957 and the other on. January 7, 1958, at which all members of the Insurance Committee were present, except, Brother Rod, who was absent on account of his illness. He did not report, in detail, on the meetings of the Insurance Committee, stating that he was leaving that for Vice-President Hejny to report on.

VSSTNT

WEST, TEXAS,

President Marek presented a proposal, outlining an advertising program or campaign for the Order, over Radio Station KONB at New Braunfels, Texas.

Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the proposal was tabled.

Vice-President Hejny opened his remarks by thanking all the members of the Supreme Lodge for the co-operation,help, and assistance extended to him during his first year as Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge, and then reported on the following matters as He stated that so far 23 local lodges have organized Youth Clubs, and that the Insurance Committee recommends that the Supreme Lodge sponsor a Little League Base Ball Club in Temple, and furnish it with all equipment, such as uniforms, balls, bats, gloves, suitable insignia, etc.

He stated that the insurance Committee recommends that if a Youth Club is organized in Temple, or in any other town, that every Youth Club should sponsor its base ball team and that the Supreme Lodge should furnish all such Youth Club baSe ball teams with balls, bats, and suitabe . insignia designating it as SPJST Youth Club team.

Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the recommendation of the Insurance Committee regarding the organization of the base ball teams, was adopted.

Vice-President Hejny reported on the Youth Club activity in general stating that as an initial step in the organization of Youth Clubs he has provided various literature outlinhig our club activities and programs and presented some of them for examination and approval. It was agreed that the Local Directors of the Youth Clubs should be elected by the respective local lodges and approved by the Supreme Lodge, and that the Supreme Lodge should contribute to the local Youth Clubs the sum of 50c per club member, per year, for maintenance, management and operation.

Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, all the above recommendations concerning the organization of Youth Clubs, were adopted.

Vice-President Hejny reported on the meeting of the Insurance Committee, held on Nov. 27, 1957, and again on Jan. 7, 1958, which were attended by all members of the Insurance Committee, except Director Rod, who was absent on account of illness. He presented the following recommendations of the Insurance Committee, to the Supreme Lodge for its consideration and action, to-wit: (1) That in the new Ordinary Life

Wednesday, February 28, 1958 Special Class of insurance, which it is proposed that the Supreme Lodge should adopt, the minimum amount of insurance written be reduced from $5,000.00 as previously agreed, to $2,000.00. A motion was made and seconded, that the minimum amount of insurance written in the proposed Ordinary Life Special Class, be $3000.00.

We still hope that our Lodge 6, Cottonwood, will line up with our bigger Lodges as we know that the opportunities are there. Just you all get the spirit and work together!

•( )• WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: Our pretty snow last week didn't last long, but it surely did do some good in conditioning our soil, what with the rain that followed the ground should be perfect for planting our spring gardens. I trust you all have enough moisture now for your spring planting.

February is the month for planting cabblige plants, onion plants, potato seed, garlic buttons, seed turnips, beets, swiss chard and spinach, as well as tulip and various other bulbs and rose bushes. What a time we shall all have!

I, for one, shall be glad to get back into the garden for I am getting bored with tending pot plants in the house.

I started out at the beginning of winter with just a few plants that I intended to plant outside once the weather gets settled, but pot by pot I've made cuttings for outside planting until my south window is crowded. So far, the editor hasn't said anything, but if he does, I shall have to move the conglomeration of plants someplace else where they might not fare so well.

Today, again we have cloudy weather at West and everyone is staying close to the fire to keep from getting chilled and come down with a cold or worse, the flu. Just as the warm days have all of my neighbors outside stirring in the flower beds, today, not a soul is seen all up and down the street.

There has been a lot of membership sick, some of our good people have left us in January and February, which leaves one heavy of heart. Yes, slowly our charter members in our fraternal family and individual lodges are leaving us and with their leaving, a great many lodges have let the opportunity slip by in not compiling information from these departed charter members in a written "History" of the Lodge, about the early days. Remember, some 50 years ago, our membership visited in each other's homes to hold, their meetings and collect the dues. Policies were mostly in the amount of $500 with seldom the housewife holding one at all for it must be remembered, that one American dollar had the purchasing power of possibly four or five dollars of today, was very

Wednesday, February 26, 1958 hard to come by, and the family had to sciriop to make the monthly premiums.

For the more fortunate who could pay by the year, it too was a big "bite" out of their income.

Picture, the head of the house blackening his scuffed boots with soot and grease, for shoepolish was a luxury even at five or ten cents a can. His Sunday suit, if he could still get into it, was the only suit he had, maybe his wedding suit when the circuit preacher married him and his mate, while his wife laid out her Sunday dress of a white cotton shirtwaist with its high bone collar, its hand embroidery work which was every bride's pride, long mutton sleeves, her heavy and full gathered skirt bustled and on a tight waistband with her equally full petticoat or two which swished and swept the floor when she walked, her black cotton stockings (we call them hose), spool heeled black kid shoes with high tops either laced or buttoned, her lovely bird's nest hat and her two 10 inch long hat pins with the golden claw on one end holding a white moonstone as large as a twenty-five cent piece! For the children, too, the decor was out of the Godey Ladies Fashion Book. Little boys wore embroidered dressed almost to the knees with romper knee pants gathered on an elastic band, showing beneath the dress.

High top button shoes. Little girls with long waist, hand embroidered dressed, cotton petticoat on a body waist, bloomers, high-top button shoes, and hair ribbons on each side of the head like huge butterflies. These were our folks.

You can see them, going to lodge meeting and its social hour, over deep rutted cowpaths in their buggies or wagons where they could bed down the children under home-made quilts. An old quilt served as a throw over the feet of the thiver and passenger in the front seat.

A basket of food, some oats, corn or hay for the horses or oxen and. a lantern vied for places in the wagon bed. This meeting and social hour was the only outside contact the family had for weeks at a time, this once a month meeting, and after the meeting, one likes to think they had coffee and kolaches, the men possibly sampled each other's "slivovica" for it was homemade, and they then exchanged gossip from measles to the corn crop. When these pioneer members were able to build themselves a Lodge Hall, where they could hold their meetings, and their dances' for the Czech and Moravian folks who came to Texas could dance and sing just as hard as they could tread the furrow behind their wooden plow, they did not have electricity.

from the wagons assembled there were lit, and with an accordion, possibly a violin, they had a band. When the musicians grew tired and. weak from playing, the dancers joined in singing the words to the song while they danced to add to the gusto. A polka had to have some stomping in it for oomp! Women sat around the Hall on wooden benches to visit, watch and dance with their men.

One can just see them and envy their joy of life and their exultation. The little girls would bring their dolls to visit in imitation of their mothers; the boys their tops and marbles or play hide and seek catch, crack the whip etc. As the afternoon waned, some went home to do the chores. If they lived too far, only one would go so that the family could stay and enjoy. the box supper and evening dancing. In the city the Lodge members had no chores to do at home, but again, they had to retr4ember that tomorrow was Monday and that they had a 10-hour-a-day job before them and they needed their rest, so they went home early enough to get some rest.

There was no sliced bread, in fact, no bread to be purchased, the housewife had to bake the family bread, make her own sauerkraut in a wooden barrel, render her own lard, and when they butchered which was a family affair, some of the meat was cooked down and preserved in hot liquid lard in large earthen crocks for winter consumption.

In going to market, some had to travel all day to get to a larger town where flour, molasses, sugar, was purchased in barrels, as was coffee in 5 pound buckets. Later molasses was rendered at home, The wagon bed pulled by oxen or mules struck across the open land toward town. The housewife had butter, eggs, cream, and other produce to sell in town. Dress goods costs approximately 10 or 15 cents a. yard. Some even made their own cloth on spinning wheels brought from the "old country."

So, with no gas or butane, the head of the family had to prepare fire wood for cooking and heating. Families lived in the kitchens around the wood stove.

Many a pioneer slept on a springless bed, made at home of planks or saplings with a matress made at home and filled with stripped corn shucks or straw and covered with quilts or feather beds brought from the old country, where one could hide himself on a blustery cold night and be snug as a bug in a rug.

Some of you readers can still remember those light but billowy feather beds and how hard it was to make up a bed without lumps. As a girl, I used the handle of a broom to smooth out the feather beds even and high on our beds!

Straw, .21

In cleaning house one was taught pick-up sweeping on a dustpan, for to sweep dust out of one's door was certain bad luck! Floors were scrubbed every Saturday morning. On one's knees with a bucket of hot water, strong soap, rag and a bucket of clear warm water, floors were scrubbed clean like new wood, rinsed and dried. To use a mop was considered slovenly and reflected: ones household abilities.

Some of you may remember the first phonograph with its record roll. Then came the disc platter and one had to crank the thing — wind up the spring to play the record. How we all danced to the phonograph .

The first bath tub that came out was of tin and painted white. After several hot water baths, the paint would sluff off, leaving the tin exposed. warclen of the neighborhood came over to exclaim and look over this new fangled bath tub. It was then that the No. 3 wash tub took to the wash house and it then became the fashion to bathe more than just on Saturday instead of just 'washing up in a wash basin. Finally, the big enameled beauty on four legs be game a permanent fixture and luxury in our homes until it too, took the back seat to the streamlined fixtures we enjoy today.

One could go on and on reminescing!

After the First World War, things progressed very rapidly. New inventions competed with each other for the buyer's pocketbook, and it is still going on at a fast clip. Only today, one can purchase on credit or time payment, whereas, when Henry Ford put our his Model "T", it was "cash" or do without with our elders. The skilled laborer brought home a paycheck of $15 to $20 a• week, which were considered bankers wages and from this capital these hardy Czech and Moravian folks laid by the foundations of their later fortunes and earned the excellent credit ratings they enjoyed among the business people, of Texas. They saved not only money, they saved food which was a sin to throw out, they saved clothing, which was handed down, made over, or given to someone to finish wearing until it was threadbare. Patched clothes were considered honorable. Styles were unknoWn then, for when a woman washed her hair with home-made soap until it shone to pile up in a luxurious bun on top of her head, scrubbed her face until it shone, carried herself erect, she was just as beautiful and in style as her counterpart today with all the folderol dame fashion dictates to have that "grobined look."

This thriftiness and conservative inan,

Spring Clean-Up For many years the National Board of Fire Underwriters has encouraged the Spring Glean-up movement, emphasizing the need for repairing and of a thorough cleaning of homes and places of business. The reason is that accumulated litter and waste furnish readily burnable fuel for fires.

According to the National Board, fire strikes an average of 800 homes every day — about 300,000 every year: Spring Clean-up time, therefore, is an ideal opportunity to inspect homes from cellar to attic, getting rid of all those things that lead to fire.

Co-operative efforts to give communities a thorough cleaning at least once a year were first undertaken many years ago. One of the first campaigns of record was undertaken about 48 years ago by a Cleveland ,Ohio, school teacher, Miss Bertha Chapman, who today is still living there.

The first campaigns were a day long and devoted to ridding homes and yards of rubbish and waste that had accumulated during the winter months. Later campaigns with the same objectives were spread over a period of weeks or longer.

In recent years the movement has spread so rapidly that practically every city has a spring campaign, some repeating the effort in the fall, during Fire Prevention Week. Many others, according to the National Board of Fire Underwriters, make a continuing year-round campaign.

These campaigns do much more than promote fire safety. For instance, they help foster community spirit. Streets are cleaned, homes are beautified and repaired, and accumulated waste and rubbish, a major cause of fire, disposed of.

Public buildings are renovated, vacant grounds improved. ) • 4 • Mandy took out an insurance policy on her husband and every three months a collector came around to get the premium.

The Golden Duck (Old Czech Fairy Tale) Continued Raduz turned and looked. "There's nothing following us," he said, "but a black cloud in the sky."

"A black cloud?" That's the old man on the black horse that rides on the clouds. Quick! We must be ready for hint!"

Ludmila struck the ground with Yezibaba's wand and changed into a field.

She turned herself into the growing rye and made Raduz the reaper who was cutting the rye. Then she instructed him to answer the old man with cunning.

The black cloud descended upon them with thunder and a shower of hailstones that beat down the rye.

"Take care!" Raduz cried'. "You are ti umuling my rye! Leave some of it for me."

"Very well," the old man said, alighting ti cm his steed, "I'll leave some of it for you. But tell me, reaper, have you seen anything of two young people passing this way?"

"Not a soul has passed while I've been reaping, but I do remember that while I was planting this field two such people did pass."

The old man shook his head, mounted his steed, and flew home again on the bla e k cloud.

"Well old wiseacre," said Yezibaba, "what brings you back so soon?"

"No use my going on," the old man said. "The only person I saw was a reaper in a field of rye."

"You booby!" cried Yezibaba, not to know that Raduz was the reaper and Luchnila the, rye! How they fooled you!

And didn't you bring me back just one stalk of rye! Go after them again and this time don't let them fool you!"

WEST, rt

In the meantime Raduz and Ludmila were hurrying, on. Sudenly Ludmila, said: "I wonder why my left cheek burns?

Look back, dear Raduz, and see if there is anyone following us."

Raduz turned and looked. "There's nothing following, us but a gray cloud in the sky."

"A gray cloud? That's the old man on the gray horse that rides on the clouds.

But don't be afraid. Only have ready a cunning answer."

Ludmila, struck her hat with the wand and changed it into a chapel. Herself she changed into a fly that 'attracted a host of other flies. She changed Raduz into a hermit. All the flies flew into the chapel and Raduz began preaching to them.

Suddenly the gray cloud descended on the chapel with a flurry of snow and such cold that the shingles of the roof cracked.

The old Man alighted from the gray steed and entered the chapel.

"Hermit," he said to Raduz, "have you seen two travelers go by here, a girl and a boy?"

"As long as I've been preaching here," Raduz said, I have had only flies for a congregation. But I do remember that while the chapel was being built two such people, did go by. But now I must beg you, good sir, to go out, for you are letting in so much cold, that my congregation is freezing."

At that the old man mounted his steed and flew back on the gray cloud.

Old Yezibaba was waiting fOr When she saw him coming she called out: "Again you bring no one, you' goodfor-nothing! Where did you leave them this time?"

"Where did I leave them?" the old man said. "How could I leave them when I didn't even see them?" All I saw was a little chapel and a hermit preaching to .a congregation of flies, I almost froze the congregation to death."

"Oh, what a• booby you are!" Yezibaba cried.

"Raduz was the hermit and Ludrrolla the flies! Why didn't you bring me just one shingle from the roof of the chapel?

I see I'll have to go after them myself!"

In a rage she mounted the third steed and flew off.

In the meantime Ra.duz and Ludmila. were hurrying on. Suddenly Ludmila said: "I wonder why my left cheek burns?

Look back, dear Raduz, again, and see if there is anyone following us."

Raduz turned and looked. "There is nothing following us but a red cloud in the sky."

Wednesday, February 20, 1958 "A red. cloud? That must be Yezibaba herself on the steed of fire. Now indeed we must be' careful. Up to this time it has been easy enough but it won't be easy to deceive her. Here we are beside a lake. I will change myself into a golden duck and float on the water. You dive into the water so that she can't burn you. When she alights and tries to catch me, you jump up and get the horse by the bridle. Do not be frightened by what, happens."

The fiery cloud descended, buriing up everything it touched. At the edge of the water Yezibaba alighted from her steed and tried to catch the golden duck. The duck fluttered on and on just out of her reach and Yezibaba went father and father from her horse.

Then Raduz leaped out of the water and caught the horse by its bridle.

At once the duck rose and on its wings flew to Raduz and became Ludrnila, again,. Together they mounted the fiery steed and flew off over the lake.

Yezibaba, helpless with rage and dismay, called after them a bitter curse.

"If you, Radriz, are kissed by woman before you wed Ludmila, you will forget Ludmila! And you, ungrateful girl, if once Raduz forgets you then he shall not remember you again until seven long years have come and gone."

Raduz and Ludmila rode on and on until they neared Raduz' native city.

There they met a man of whom Raduz asked the news.

"News indeed!" the man said. "The king and his three older sons are dead.

Only the queen is alive and she cries day and night for her youngest son who went out into the world and has never been heard of since. The whole city is in an tnoroar as to who shall be the new king" When Raduz heard this he said to Ludmila: "Do you, my dear Ludmila, wait for me here outside of the city while I go quickly to the palace and let it be known that I am alive and air' returned.

It would not be fitting to present you to my mother, the queen, in those ragged clothes. As soon as I am made king I shall come for you bringing you a beautiful dress."

Ludmila agreed to this and Raduz left her and hurried to the castle. His mother recognized himt at once and ran with open arms to greet him. She wanted to kiss him but he would not let her.

The news of his return flew abroad and he was immediately proclaimed king. ._A great feast was spread and all the people ate and drank and made merry.

Fatigued with his journey and with the excitement of his return, Raduz lay down to rest. While he slept his mother

Wednesday, February 26, 1958 came in and kissed him on both cheeks. filled and all memory of Ludmila left him.

Poor Ludmila waited for his return but he never came. Then she knew what must have happened. Heartbroken and lonely she found a• spot near a farmhouse that commanded a view of the castle and she stood there day after day hoping to see Raduz. She stood there so long that finally she took root and grew into a popular tree that was so beautiful that soon throughout the countryside people began talking about it. Everyone admired it but the young king. He, when he looked at it, always felt unhappy and he supposed this was because it obstructed the view from his window.

At last he ordered it be cut down.

Once again it proves that BrotherS Marek and Chupick, have always endeavored to represent our SPJST Order'in a manner of leadership and guidaride that we are so proud of. You see, my dear members, these two brothers are the hard cores of true fraternalism that prevails in our SPJST Order of today.

What was so magnificent about Brother Marek and Brother Chupick, and their wives visit, is that they are always putting in that something called EXTRA EFFORT OF LEADERSHIP which always

&tram 26 adds success to all our SPJST Lodges, and anytime you find our Supreme Lodge President and Secretary struggling and fighting their way through 3,000 cowboys of the Salt ' Grass Trail, to get t(i' one of our Lodge celebration, then in all sincerity, they deserve to be called the EXTRA EFFORT LEADERS of our organization.

We are grateful to the many SPJST Lodges that responded in person to our written letters of invibation and appreclate=the following out of town cities for -has h- participation; Crosbp, Guy, Rosenberg, Sealy, Wallis, Independence, Bellville, Willis, Fairbanks, Pasedena, Temple, Dallas, Ft.

Hilsher, welcoming the Many members and guests in attenda ce. Following the welcoming our past President Frank Olexa gave us a most inspiring speech about the highlights of 'our lodges history. Brother Olexa then asked another past President of our lodge, Brother J. Kalousek to take a bow for his many years of faithful service he has given to ourLodge. Brother Olexa then introduced honorable guests, Broth ' er E. L. 1Vlarek, Supreme Lodge Presi , dent and Secretary- J. F. Chupick who each gave us a short encouraging speech.

A nice letter was received and read to the audience froni our forever-working Brother, Supreme Lodge Vice-President, ‘J. B. Hejny, who had to be in Dallas to represent our Supreme Lodge in an insurance conference. Our renown member, Brother S. Valcik who heads our worthy Rest Home in Taylor, Texas, .gave us a brief resume of what imPb r -.tancehRstHomei thSPJT Order. and reaue>ted all members to be as generous e po sible for it's support.

The members wish to thank our congenial Sister A. Svacina for making the long to be remembered tasty gulash, which so many raved about. Let's not forget the timely pinch-hitting of Brother Sontag for a job well done. The actors in "Omlazeny Dedecek" gave an outstanding performance and we want to praise Bill Rezek (simbaba) for his generaus help at any time. Our two new comers, Miss Sula and Miss Orsak (the cabaret girls) gave a unique performance that we will never forget. Brothers, Sula, Ermis, Sefcik, Tim Kostom and A Svestka as usual played the professional style that they are so noted for. Mrs Olexa, Mrs. Hilsher and Miss Simecek played their parts to the smooth delight of all who came to witness "Ornletzeny P 'decek." Mts. H. Allison the charming young lady of many Czech plays to her credit was present to encourage the cast along.

But, wait a final big bouquet to our amiable promoter, Mrs. A. Svestka, who indeed had the situation always under control and deserves much credit for the actors performance. We all appreciated your visit to our 24th year celebration, and I would like to personally thank Mr. and _Alrs. Skrabanek, Mrs. S. Valcik, Mr. and Mts. F.

As each succeeding generation grows it falls into its own pattern of development, forgetting all too easily that only a few years earli e r roany of the conveniences of "modern living" particularly of good health, simply did not exist.

How many of us recall the scourges that swept over whole communities in the form of smallpox, malaria, typhoid, and other diseases of which we are only vaguely aware today?

In fact, the only information most of us have of these diseases is gained from reading of epidemics in foreign lands, of tasting the protective chlorine in our water, and of the small scar left by the long past vaccination.

Even today we modernists are witnessing the decline and fall of still an-

Wednesday, February 26a1.958 other ominous disease foe — paralytic polio. Since the advent of Salk vaccine, the drop in incidence has been so dramatic that the odds are good that tomorrow's children will be as safe from paralytic polio as our, children are from smallpox.

Our ability to control infectious diseases has been attained in a period of history marked by wide and. intensive scientific and technical progress, accompanied by profound social change.

New stresses have been created that lead sometimes suddenly and at other times slowly to disease and premature death unless there is someone to stand guard.

As an example, the chemical stresses to which we are exposed are legion, and are mounting rapidly. Thousands, of industrial plants discharge chemical wastes into rivers and streams that provide our drinking water. Many chemicals that Have not been adequately tested for their effect on man are added to food in order to preserve, color, and flavor it.

A recent Railroad Commission survey shows that well over five million barrels of salt water are produced each day in Texas oil' drilling operations.

Some of that amount finds its way.into river systems and underground water supplies, altering the chemical quality of the water.

More than a thousand million pounds of chemical insecticides are use annually throughout the world in th cultivation of fruits and vegetables. Some three million pounds of gases are discharged into the air of a single large American city each day by motor vehicles a_nd industry.

These are the new stresses with which we must now contend. Solutions will come slowly and with difficulty. But they will come.

To Our Youth And Youth Leaders

By Our Vice President, J. B. Hejny (Continued) JUVENILE TERM TO AGE SIXTEEN This is a form of temporary insurance and is inexpensive. It should be attractive to the parents who wish to have some insurance on their children but who cannot afford to pay for one of the permanent forms of insurance. Premiums are to be paid for the child until he attains the age of sixteen years.

At any time before or within 90 days after attaining the age of 16 years, the child may n-lake application to be transferred to membership in the Adult Department for not more than $1,000.00 of insurance on any life or endowment plan then being issued by the Order without furnishing evidence of insurability. Upon transferring, the child will be required to pay the rate for his then attained age according to the amount of insurance and form of certificate selected.

This form of certificate does not provide for any cash or other non-forfeiture values and if the child does not transfer to the Adult Department, the insurance ceases without further .value upon attainment of age sixteen.

The premiums for this form of certificate for all ages up to 10 years are forty cents per month or four dollars and eighty cents per year, and from 10 to 15 years, sixty cents per month and seven dollars and twenty cents per year.

JUVENILE TWENTY PAYMENT LIFE This form of insurance offers life insurance protection throughout the lifetime of the Juvenile applicant. Premiums are payable for twenty years only, after which time the certificate becomes paidup for the face amount of the certificate. This form is ideal for the parents who wish to provide permanent insurance protection for their children and who have sufficient income to pay the higher premiums so that at the end of twenty years the certificate will become fully paid up.

The death benefit becomes payable to thenamed beneficiary of records upon the death of the member.

JUVENILE TWENTY YEAR ENDOWMENT This form of insurance combines life insurance with a savings plan. Premiums are payable for twenty years only, after which time the face amount of the certificate is payable to the member in cash. This form is ideal for the parents who wish to create a systematic savings plan for a child. It is especially attractive for the parents who wish to accu-

mulate a fund which can be enjoyed or invested by the child at the end of twenty years.

The death benefit becomes payable to the named beneficiary of record if the death of the child occurs before the end of twenty years.

JUVENILE ENDOWMENT AT AGE EIGHTEEN This form of insurance combines life insurance with a savings plan which may be used for educational purposes.

Premiums are payable to the anniversary birthday, after which time the face amount of the certificate is payable to the member in cash. This form is' ideal for those parents who wish to create a systematic savings plan for the child and who wish to accumulate a certain fund to be used for educational purposes.

If the parents wish, the proceeds plus interest may be payable in annual payments over a period of two (2) or four (4) years. For example a certificate of One Thousand Donors face amount would provide an annual payment of $507.39 payable for two years or $261.19 payable for four years. If the insured does not desire to draw out the full amount of money, or either of the above mentioned installments, he has a right to exercise the following options if he passes the required examination: 1. Paid up certificate of $1,000 and cash of $718.42.

2. Paid up certificate of $2,000 and cash of $441.84.

3. Paid up certificate of $3,597.

The annual income or options will be greater or less depending upon the face amount of the certificate.

The death benefit becomes payable to the named beneficiary of record if the death of the child occurs before the anniversary date of the certificate nearest the child's eighteenth birthday.

JUVENILE TWENTY PAY ENDOWMENT AT AGE SIXTY This form of insurance combines life insurance with a savings plan. Premiums are payable for twenty years and at the members 60th birthday the face amount of the certificate is payable to the member in cash, or he can exercise any of the following options: 1. Paid up certificate of $1,000 and cash of $368.08 2. Paid up certificate of $1,597.

The option will be greater or less depending upon the face amount of the certificate.

This form of protection is in the nature of a retirement benefit maturing at the logical retirement age. It provides an accumulation of saving for old age as

well as insurance protection in the event of prior death.

The death benefit becomes payable to the named beneficiary of record upon the death of the child. , • 4► •( CENSORSHIP IN THE U. S. Although we do not agree with everything he might say or does, or has done, Elmer Rice recently hit the nail on the head in speaking before a group of British writers in London.

Rice told the opening session of the Poets, Editors and Novelists Club that pressure groups in the United States exert a very real and serious menace We agree with that statement, to a large extent.

It is not known by the average newspaper reader, but certain pressure groups in the U. S. and certain blocs and minorities have succeeded in blocking out of the newspapers and news dissemination media any uncomplimentary references, or reports, even though they be true,and accurate news stories.

This is not an accurate reflection of conditions and events in the U. S. and is a' ridiculous imposition upon the majority. Nevertheless, in this country, we have reached the stage where to prove that the majority is not prejudiced, the majority must submit to all sorts of discriminations from minorities.

As long as this type of censorship exists, and as long as it has a tendency to increase in the United States, the danger it presents will grow. Newspapers should be able to report all the facts, all the news and all the views of those who make the news. The same is true with the moving picture industry, and other news or entertainment industries, which are often limited in their functons by pressure groups. ) •4•( WEATHER. NEWS Weather information is vital and an invaluable time-saver for sailors, fliers, sportsmen, farmers and others who can now get advanced weather data for business or pleasure.

The first two-band, all transistor, Weatherama, pocket-size portable radio brings you your favorite program on the Standard Broadcast Radio Band and it receives official weather information and flying conditions over the Long Waanvde. Aeronautical and Marine Beacon Band.

This weather information is usually given 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the hour and includes weather data for airports within a 500 mile radius of the beacon.
