EDITOR'S DESK

The average premium was generally larger as the income level increased.

For the income group $7,500 and over the average premium was $440.

The amount put into life insurnace premiums varied widely with family circumstances and make-up," the Institute said, "but assembling a number of the peaks shown, it seems likely that the family putting the greatest amount into such premiums might be that of a veteran aged 40, with wife and three children, living in a big city in the South owning his own home, wth an income of more than $7,500.

According to this survey ,the highest average premium is 'paid by families headed by persons between ages 35-44, this group paying nearly half again as much as the average fro all ages and three and one-half times the average for the 18-21 age group.

Married families with children showed the highest average premium in the distribution by marital status, and in the age 35-44 group their $315 average is two-thirds over the average for all groups and four times that for single persons under age 45. As to family size, those with three children reported the largest average premium of all, The average premium of home owners ran two to three times that for renters.

Regionally, the South led in average premium and the West showed the smallest average. The increase has been mast noteworthy in the South since 1950, the average premium having increased some 75 per cent there in these years.

Cities of 50,000 to 000,000 reported the largest average premium in the size of

community category, well over the average for either metropolitan centers or smaller cities.

Families which included veterans showed a slightly larger average premium than those with no veterans.

Families headed by men had an average premium three times that for families headed by women.

Very little difference in premium average was shown between families with one or two income producers. ) • " • (

District 11 Meeting At Granger There was a very fine and harmonious District II, Meeting held at host Lodge No. 20, Granger, to a well attended gathering, Sunday March 30.

The children presented a delightful and talented program under the super vision of sister Clara Hejl, District Youth Director.

There were many visitors from far and near and a brotherly and sisterly spirit prevailed throughout the meeting.

The friendly sisters of Lodge 20 prepared a fine snack after the meeting and we all left Granger and lodge members in a true fraternal spirit.

Space does not permit a more detailed description, but same will appear in the next issue of the Vestnik. ° ()• Boss: "Why do you always look puzzled when I say I'm a self-made man?"

Fort Worth Lodge 92, Welcomes District III Last Sunday, March 23, Lodge 92, Svaz Cechoslovanu of Fort Worth, was host to the District III Meeting in its spacious ail on Roberts Cutt-off Road, in Fort Worth, Texas.

In spite of the threatening rain and in spite of the fact that the barometer was falling to indicate bad weather, members of the District III group and guests from border Districts filled the large Hall. The "camaradie" was there too, with everyone greeting each other like long-lost brothers.

The Youth Club of Lodge 92, had an attractive booth near the entrance where coffee and kolaches and other pastries were sold to warm up shivering visitors as they came in. The procedes from this booth, with the blessing of the Mother Lodge, went to swell the coffers of the Youth Club for their future planned activities.

The Meeting opened with the Presentation of the Flag, led by the Youth Club of Lodge 92, and then the singing of the Star Spangled Banner and our Kde Korf.,OV Muj. Brother Joe Bartek, representing Lodge 92, welcomed all of the gathering, with sincere words of gladness and wishes that they all enjoy themselves while at Lodge 92. He then turned the Meeting over to Brother Joe Juran, President of Lodge 92 and also President of District III. Roll call revealed some misses in representation in . our District. For those who were not there, you missed out on a very informative and important meeting, we missed you too, and think that if. guests could make it from clear across the state, from way down Houston way, someone in your Lodge could have also.

The Minutes of the last Meeting held at Elm Mett, Texas in Lodge 66 were read by Secretary, Sister Vilma Nesuda and auproved as read, as were the minutes of the "special meeting" held on March 19, at Lodge 92 for the preparation of the District III Meeting.

UPon - recognizing the visitors to the meeting, District Treasurer J. D. Waggone â&#x20AC;˘, read the financial report and ehort speeches were then in order. District Three Director Brother Robert Cervenka's letter was read expressing his regret at being unable to be present due to illness. The gathering was informed that these meetings "encourage members of one district, to visit meetings of other districts to broaden their outlook in our fraternal work and give them inspiration for this work.

The Editor bid all of our lodges, even our very smallest, to become active

through an active Youth Club.

The Youth Club of . Lodge 92, took a bow from Brother Pokladnik, president of Lodge 84 of Dallas, as ;did District Youth Director Sister Emma Ceska of Lodge 66.

Brother Hejny, our Vice-President, then spoke a few words, leaving his most important for the afternoon session, for Brother Chupick, Secretary of the Su- lunchtime was drawing near. preme Lodge gave the Membership an inspirational message regaroing our Brother Edward: Marek, our Persident fraternity.

Sday each and every one distant to our Halls feel that we have benefited from these meetings."

Then the Youth Club President Sykora of Lodge 84, spoke to the assembly, stating that a large group of Lodge 84's youth had come to the meeting with their Director Sister Bessie Peter, that they were very glad to be here. , Youth Club officer of Lodge 92, Kathie Hubenak substituted for Pres. Hubenak, who was away at the moment, welcomed all of the visitors in behalf of her club.

Brother Ben Jarma, manager of the Baseball Club of Lodge 84 in Dallas, was called upon to give some pointers on the organization of a baseball club and of their achievements in the last four years in competition with other organized baseball clubs. Congratulations to you for the fine record that the Club has amassed!

Brother Jarmo brought home the point that it made the fellows feel that there a lot of thing benefited from the SPJST Order and from becoming a member and taking active part in its progress. "If you will get your Youth something to work with, you will have members to run your Order in future years," said Brother Jarma. "You have to give them a reason for coming into the SPJST — not just come to the meeting."

Lodge 84 President, Pokladnik, then remarked: " A good ball club is an asset to the SPJST." The meeting was adjourned for lunch which the busy sisters of Lodge 92 had ready and waiting. — It was wonderful.

—Many thanks!

At 2:00 p.m. after a hearty meal in excellent company, meeting was again called to order, for the afternoon session. Further guests that arrived were given an opportunity to greet the Meeting and express best wishes. Joe Skrabanek, Director from District V, invited the membership to their District meeting which will be held April 13th. "When we are with you people we feel like we are at home," he said.

Brother Laznovsky, District Vice President, then took the. gavel and thanked the good sisters of Lodge 92 for the nice

lunch, and then launched into the report on the Rest Home, of which he is also Director; and thanked everyone for their contributions to the Home, He also acknowledged and thanked Brother Navratil, Treasurer of the Home for his splendid and untiring efforts in handling of the money for the Home. There was a loud applause. It was evident that Brother •Navratil was touched by this acknowlegement of his service for this good couse. (Sometimes, brothers and sisters, ''a little syrup" will go a long way to make a hard job more pleasant.)

Brother Navratil then took up the recital of the Rest Home, where he gave a brief history of its inception and progressive growth, and bade those folks interested in becoming guests, to not delay their decisions any longer for eligible applicants are accepted as they come on a "first come, first served" basis, Br. N. explained the policy of the Home regarding "Health of applicant" etc. Brother Navratil advised that the 27th of April is the formal opening of the Rest Home in Taylor, Texas, with further observances to be held in Lodge Praha of Taylor, Texas and invited all of the assembly to attend. District II, will hold its annual Meeting in Granger, Texas on April 30 and Brother Navratil invited the membership to attend this District II Meeting.

A discussion followed Brother Navratil's speech, wherein he was pressed for financial figures on the state of the Rest Home. (It does seem that since the Rest Home is separate entirely, its business, like any other business, should be its own. We don't press the Polio Fund, Community Chest, Heart Fund Drive for figures, we' know the need is there and we feel that they have enough qualified men at its helm to guide it in a btisinss like manner — so why not the same in the Rest Home? It is embarrassing and puts the official on the spot.

There are enough directors in the Home to watch the management. Let's use our minds like mature people and open our hearts, for we all know that the need is still there, without figures). It was voted that $100 be taken from the District III Treasury to be designated for the "operating fund" of the Taylor home. Then Brother Arnold Vrla, District III Supervisor, together with Brother Joe Hejny our Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge also in charge of the organizs,tional work in our Order, took over the balance of the program.

Brother. Vrla, a member of Lodge jaro 130, briefly pointed out that his Lodge was building a new home in conjunction with the Dallas Sokol Unit, and pointed out what the Sokol too, was doing for

Wednesday, April 2, 1958 lice Youth of the country, where there \vas a Unit, He then proceeded to give up a resume of the accomplishments since he has been in office as District III Supervisor, In introducing District III Organizer, Sister Anna Milan, headed the list, writing over 30 per cent of all insurance in the District during the contest tia4 was held, or 84 members to $118,000 insurance. Her annual basis was over $192,000, new insurance.

Brother J. R, Bartel( of Lodge 92, was then recognized. Then Brother Alvin Nesuda, Emil Popp (who is ill with the flu and unable to be there). As a whole, District III signed up over $674,000 new insurance, Seven organizers in the state of Texas achieved the "50,000 Club" four of which were out of District III. Brother Hejny then told the assembly: "As long as we have District Organizers such as Brother Vrla in District III, and other District Organizers in their Districts who will go out in the field and help lodge organizers secure new membership, I know with your help, in backing them up, we will sell a lot of new insurance. Even thought we did not double the sales over the whole state, we did double the sales in three Districts, namely,: III, V, and VII. We are all very proud of the organizers and all of those who helped them in any way. We will go into our Districts again so that we will reach our goals. We have set our new goal of $3,000,000. The goal for Dist, III for 1958 is $550,000 of new insurance!

We will make it and I know that all of you will help us," Brother Hejny concluded, Brief cases with each recipients name printed in Gold. were promised in 1957 to each organizer who sold at least $12,000 of new insurance and doubled his sales over last year.

The first one on this list called was from cur Kaufman Lodge, Brother Joe Slavik (not present) with $13,000 of new insurance, Then came: Harms, Lodge 66 — $17,000 Alvin Nesuda., Lodge 25. — $19,000 Ben Jarma, Lodge 84 , — $33,500 Stanley Vrla, Lodge 130 — $53,000 Emil Petr, Lodge 84 — $55,000 J.

Wednesday, April 2; 1958 Order with a g olden bar emblzoned "$25000 Club," The following organizers made the $50,000 Club."

Brother Stanley Vrla of Lodge 130, Dallas; Brother Emil Petr of Lodge 84, Dallas; Brother J. R. Bartek of Lodge 92, Fort Worth; and Brother Arnold Vida of Lodge 130, Dallas. More cheers!

In the "$200,000 Club" entered Sister Anna Milan of Lodge 154, of Fort Worth, to receive her pin and a special bronze plaque which was struck for her (to be delivered upon receipt.)

Br. Arnold Vrla, then handed out special "Cash Award Checks" to his organizers in a specal "race" that they held among themselves for top honors.

Because of the lengthy "organizers award" section of the program, there was no Youth Program. Instead the youth assembled, representing several lodges, assembled outside for contests and games, and their enthusiastic cheers could be heard inside as their games progressed. These games were held under the supervision of Sister Emma Ceska, District Youth Director and her lovely assistant Sister Bessie Petr, together with Youth Directors representing their lodges, namely: Sisters Ceska, Peter, Hrabina,, Laznovsky, Parma, Koci, and Renfro. They later posed for a picture which the Vestnik hopes to show you later.

Sister Emma Ceska, Youth Director of District III, told us of the virtues of laughter upon the human soul.

She instructed all Lodge Directors that the Youth Activities Report was by the Lodge Youth Director, that it was due to be sent in immediately to Brother Hejny. She advised that this Report had to be in before the Supreme Lodge would assist the Lodge Director with Cash Awards for the Lodge Youth. The Director was to have kept an account of the meetings that each child attended, from Jan. 1, 1958. There will be a "contest" and awards given for those who had the most points as outlined in Brother Hejny's Handbook. While all Youth may participate, only those belonging the the SPJST are eligible for Cash Awards. Turn in those "Pink" forms — send them to Brother Hehay now! Get your records up to date! Use our Vestnik to spread your information!

"There is a lot of good that can come by organizing Youth Clubs, lots of special benefits as well as educational benefits," says Sister Ceska. "We want our Youth to participate in the Youth Program.

One of the things we want to bring up up in District III is a Youth Activity Day. On this day, we will want to plan contests, just for our Youth; the type of

VI STNIX — WEST, TEXAS contest that your youth want," Sister Ceska concluded.

It was decided that the Youth day would be held without interference of the District Business Meetings.

In discussion it was suggested that the Youth Day wait until summer time when school is out, date to be set later by all of the District III Lodge Youth Directors. Invitation from Lodge 25, Ennis to have its Youth Day in Ennis was accepted with thanks, at the National Hall.

District III, set aside $100 for awards for this Youth Day in Ennis. Again, date for this Youth. Day in Ennis will be announced n the Vestnik, later. "All Fun Day for the Youth," with talent contests, handicraft, garnes and what have you!

It was agreed that the "Food" problem would be handled through a Basket Lunch that each family would bring to cover its individual food requirements.

Brother J. R. Bartek heading the "Nominating Committee" submitted the names of members who accepted nomination to posts for the year 1958, for the election and approval of the membership.

Brother Emil Petr of Lodge 84, Dallas, was nominated and elected President of District III for the year 1958, followed

by Brother Sid Pokladnik as First Vice President; Brother George Trojacek as second Vice President; Sister Vilma Nesuda as secretary (for another term) and Brother J. D. Waggoner as Treasurer (also for another term); Brother John Paul Hubenak, President of Lodge 92 Youth Club was elected as Flag Bearer.

(Thanks from the membership was given Sister Nesuda and Brother Waggoner for a splendid job that they did in 1957, and for accepting to. assume the same duties for another year.

thanked the assembly for their faith it% his ability and pledges to do his utmost, Brother Fr. Laznovsky, our retiring Veep, thanked all officeers and member. ship for their confidence in him and their co-operation shown him during his tenure in office.

Sister Emma Ceska, speaking for het assist: Alt also, thanked the membership for their confidence and co-operaticir, in coming year.

Brother Gurecsky of Lodge 25, Ennis Texas, extended an invitation for District III, to hold its next District Meet.. ing in National Hall in Ennis, which time will be announced later in .the year. — Accepted.

This is to inform our membership, as we have done once before, that the SPJST Rest Home is an independent institution entirely separate from our Order with its own Charter under regulations from our State Department for institutions of this kind.

The name S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home was accepted by the Rest Home Committee in appreciation of the $100,000 welfare gift by the 17th Convention held in Temple, Texas Since this is the case, we should all now realize that the SPJST Rest Home, AS AN INDEPENDENT INSTITUTION, Ivi ASSUME ITS OWN RESPONSIBILMES. These obligations should be taken care of THROUGH DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS and through the STIPULATED RATE OF UP-KEEP OF ITS GTTESTS, Therefore, letters from our members to our Vestnik asking or suggesting that the SPJST Order take care of the outstanding obligations that have been incurled to date in this Rest Home, ARE WHOLLY UNWARRANTED AND WILL NOT BE for the good interest of our Order, PUBLISHED IN OUR VESTNIK unless our Press Committee should, in its regular meeting in July, decree otherwise. ) • 4. •

Financial Strength Increases In Our SP.IST. The best measure of an insurance company's strength is the ratio of net worth to insurance in force.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Article 68, Section (g) of our By-Laws reads as follows: "The Supreme Lodge contributes to the finances of each district five cents a year per insured member who reaches 16 years of age, but not less than $150.00 annually. This amount must be used for the benefit of youth. Further financing is left up to each district."

The above Article and Section of our By-Laws prescribes or idnects that, for the purpose of financing our Districts the Supreme Lodge shall pay, each year, to each District 5c for every insured member over 16 years of age, residing in the district, or not less than the sum of $150.00. These funds were paid to all Districts by the Supreme Lodge, for the year 1957.

These funds, for expenses in maintaining and financing the Districts, are paid to each District as a whole because these funds belong to the whole District, as a unit, and shall be used by the District as a unit and cannot and shall not be divided among the individual Lodges in the District and may not and shall not be used for any other purpose for expenses incurred for the benefit of the Youth, in the District.

I am submitting the above as ney answer to inquiries that I have received relative to the above matter.

Life Insurance Earning Rate At 3.75 Percent In 1957 The rate of interest earned in 1957 on the invested funds of U. S. life expenses but before Federal inconie taxes, was 3.75 per cent, accordinv to the Institute of Life Insurance. T.11.1s,,, compared with 3.63 per cent the year-before.

The after-tax rate for 1957 is reported) I* by the Institute as 3.44 per cent. This compares witli 323 per cent the ',Year_ before. The 1957 investment earnings the life companies totaled $3,560,000,00 up $290,000,000 from the previous ypcia. but Federal income taxes in 1957 were.. an estimated 8290,000,000 leaving after,-,' tax net earnings of $3,270,000,000. Most of this represented required earnings, 'to contractual obligations to policY:holders.

While the '57 after-tax earning rater) was the highest rate in 17 years, still materially lower than the 4.1Q avq10,,,'; rage for the 1930's and the 5.07 averagf1•n for the 1920's.

'Y.if The importance of these earning fig.7>YI ures in determining the cost of life ii .YO surance is illustrated by relating tarn past rates to the 1957 aggrega4T): earnings. Had the 1947 record low ing rate applied in 1957, total after-tax investment earnings would have yielded $520,000,000 less to meet the cost of life insurance; had the average rate of the 1920's applied, there would have been: $1,500,000,000 more.

The earning rate increase since 1947c' has been due in large part to shiftS the distribution of investments, with material increases in the proportion Ofa assets invested in the higher yield chan-, nels. Some gain has been derived friain, the higher interest rates of recent years, but it takes several years :for such a trend to be fully operative, as' the older investments remain on the books at the lower rates.

Since 1947, for example, the securities of business and industry have risen from 31 per cent of total life company agtrds`to 44 per cent. Mortgage investments have increased from 17 per cent of as-. sets to 35 per cent. At the same time,„ holdings of U.S. Government securities, have declined from 39 per cent of assets`' to 7 per cent.

It gives us great pleasure to set aside our regular routine work, and devote our time-go our Lodge No. 88 children, for our -future Easter Program. First, we would like to remind our members of Lodge 88 that we had to change our program,- from March 23rd to April 6th at 3:3f1 . p.m. We hope this will not be confusing to some of our members. If you willnotice, Brother Louis Hanus announced the date of our program in his last letter, and it was too late to change the correct date of our program, as his previous letter was in the hands of our editor. Please don't forget to mark your calendar for the Easter Program, April 6th. -We would like to have as many children, participating in our program as possibke So bring out your Easter basket, and enjoy the evening with Mr. Bunny. We wish to announce one more thing; there will be a Modern Dance that same night for our Teen-Agers.

Tickets are being sold in advance for the dance, by our ambitious Lodge sisters. Wewould appreciate, if the mothers could contact any of the following sisters by phone for our program: Sister Estelle Kelly UN 1 7435, Della Kadlecak UN 4 1921, Maxine Sefcik UN 9 1451, in order i to- line out our Easter Program.

Dear.Sisters and Brothers: Just a few words to remind you that our next meeting is Sunday, the 13th at 2 p.m. and this is especially for your children and especially for those that are,generally on our program, "Easter Egg Hunt."

Bring your children, we'll give them a chance to see who is the luckiest to find the most eggs. Don't worry if your children: are small, we will keep the older...eliiiiiren in a different place and will have prizes for both classes. After the "Egg Hunt" we will have contests and games inside. We will have lots of fun!

If; youshould happen to have "visitors" bring them along with you, especially if the .visitors have children.

Our next pra,gram is on Father's Day in . connection with our Birthday members.

VESTNIK -- WEST, TEXAS Our last meeting was short due to the funeral of Mr. Joe Balusek whose son is cur member. Members, how would you like to die as Mr. Balusek did? He gave instructions to his son about 5:00 p.m. what to do early Saturday morning.

(That happened on our street in town Friday). Well, his son came to his father's place, ready to plant corn but lo, what news! Mr. Balusek was found dead in his bed by his wife when she went to call him to get up, as his son was approaching. Mr. Balusek was in good health before, so dear members, let's squabble as long as we live for tomorrow we may die.

Not long ago, we had our District Six Convention at Hillje. Sisters and brothers, that was not necessary to my views. Unnecessary, for the grand officers to traved such distance and also in regards to the money it cost. -- If the "deceased" did not have his successor then it would be different. If our President would die, would we have to call a state convention? I would suggest that we prepare in advance for such eoiergencies, or if this is out of place remember that this comes* from an old "crony" and forget about it.

Nevertheless, I would suggest in our next convention that we change Article 28 of our By-Laws, Paragraph B, to strike out the word director and put in Place alternate director, or such word as would mean what we want. Futhermore, I would suggest, "if" the death does not Occur one year before our convention.

Sokol Sentinel SOKOL SENTINEL Ft: Worth, Texas Hello Everyone, I really don't have the heart to write anything interesting or amusing after going through so much sadness these past few months. We lost two uncles and an aunt in Temple within a few weeks of each other. Aunt Lydia Stepan her husband, uncle Frank Stepan and uncle Rudolf Martinec. May they rest in peace and deepest 'sympathy to the bereaved families. On March 6th came another terrible blow. Our beloevd "Tati", Joseph Merlick passed away. It was such a shock, even though he was 84 years old, he was still so active and could still dance to a beautiful Czech waltz at Sokol Hall. He is survived by three sons Joe Jr. Fred and Jerry, two daughters, Mrs. Marie Edwards and Mrs. Frances Hlas, Two sisters in Czechoslovakia where he also was born, 11 grand children and 11 great-grand children. Rosary was recited at Shannon's and burial was in Denver City, Texas. He is resting in eternal peace beside his wife, our beloved "Mami" Merlick who died several years ago.

The children will be delighted to know there will be an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday afternoon about 4 p. m. at Sokol Hall. All Sokol and SPJST members and their friends are cordially invited. And will you nice mothers please bring a few eggs apiece so no one will be left with an empty basket? After the hunt there . will be a dance beginning at 7:00 p. m. until 11 p. m. This is the first Easter dance we have had in years so all of you come and show off that new Easter finery.

I hope it will be warm and sunny and not cold and dreary as it is today.

I was just about to quit writing when the phone rang. It was Joe Merlick with some more sorrowful news. Our sister-in-law, Mira Nevelik died this afternoon in Carrollton, at, the home of her son Joe. Shee had been very ill for several months. I don't know any of the funeral arrangements yet, but this letter won't be published for a week, so it will be too late, by then.
