FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK dio Station KTAE." Old Folks Aren't Important Coming End of quotation from the Taylor Press.

For the Youth — we are informed, Always Wrong Events there will be games throughout the aftLodge Praha 29, in Taylor, Texas, is planning a big celebration in their lodge Hall on the occasion of the "Dedication Ceremonies" of the SPJST Rest Home, to be held on April 27, in Taylor, at approximately 10:30 a. m.

While the SPJST Rest Home will be Open for visitors all day long, the "Dedication Ceremonies" will be short so that Lodge Praha can host the guest for this celebration.

They have informed us that they plan to start serving the noon meal about 11:30 a. m. until "everybody has had a chance to get something good to eat."

Through the kindness of Scretary A. L. Boudny, of the Taylor Lodge, we have received a clipping from the Taylor Press that we are bringing for your information as it has been printed in 'Chat, paper. Quote: `Secretary of State Zollie Steakly will be the principal speaker at the April 2-7 dedication of Taylor's new SPJST Rest Home on East Lake Drive.

The dedication ceremony will begin at 10:30 and is expected to last an hour.

Paul Sablatura of Louise, Texas, who headed up the committee in charge of building the rest home here, will serve as master of ceremonies.

Mayor R. E. "Nitter Kollman will deliver the address of welcome. Ray P. Lewis, president of the Taylor Chamber of Commerce, Reuben Leshikar, president of the local SPJST Lodge, and. Edward Marek, president of the Supreme Lodge of the SPJST, will make short talks.

ernoon and there will be a Big Dance which will begin about 8:30 p. m. for the lovers of dancing. Except for a small percentage to reimburse the Lodge expenses, the proceeds will all go to the SPJST Rest Home. This, indeed, deserves honorable mention and our thanks for sister Lodge 29!

Sister Rubble Holy, of San Antonio, has assumed responsibility of a Bazaar booth at the Celebration, of which all of the proceeds are to go to the Rest Home also. She asks that anyone wishing to donate handwork, or articles for this booth to be sold at this occasion, to sand them to her at: MRS. RUBY HOLLEY 204 Seeling Blvd., SAN ANTONIO 1, TEXAS, or, bring them with you to the Celebration on the 27th. of April.

Let's all give this worthy project our moral and financial support, as we have done in the past. We all know that the need is stil there!

The Texas Czech's had been known in this country for geeting things done, when once they put their shoulders to it. In this 1958, let's give this Rest Home Project another Big push to get it on its independent feet. We have done it before — we can do it again for the honnor and glory of a fine and hardy generation of folks who made the Texas Czech Societies what they are today.

Remember, the time is drawing short, send those gift contributions today, and mark your calendar with a big Red circle (27th) of April to make this memorable Dedication and CeleThe board of directors of the SPJST bration, a. affair.

It was a sad day fio .r the American family when the marriage experts decided that there wasn't any place in the modern farily for grandparents.

Young parents fell for the idea hook, line, and sinker.

They were told that three generations under one roof were too many. It was not even enough for a young couple to have their own home; it ought to be as far away from both sets of parents as possible.

The idea so easily accepted was that grandparents could not share a home with grown children and grandchildren without causing friction. Even if they just lived in the same town they would be forever interfering.

So the modern way is for a young couple to get off by themselves and bring up their children without any advice, help, or suggestions from their own parents.

There may be less family friction that way — but the family is poorer for the separation of generations.

Most men and women who have lived long enough to become grandparents have gained wisdom and insight through experience. Most of them have triumphed over difficulties and lived through hard times. They have a re-sourcefulness that today's young parents and their children haven't been called upon to develop.

They have lived long enough to know life's true values and aren't as easily fooled by appearances as young people.

Since they brought up their own children with a firm hand and common sense, grandparents aren't frightened at all by the "experts" who scare today's pa':ents with their big words.

Many a family that today is ignoring all that grandparents could offer in the way of advice, help, and by example would be better off for those stabilizing influences.

that when we cut grandparents off from any real influence over the family, juvenile delinquency began to increase.

District II Holds Meeting At Granger, Lodge 20 Old Sol really smiled down on Texas Sunday March 30, when District II held its annual District Meeting in the SPJST Lodge Hall at Granger, 0 exas, for the day was So Beautiful.

Folks from far and near converged upon Granger to swell the ranks of the district membership to hold one of its nicest meetings.

President of the District II, Brother Frank E. Hejl, Jr., called the meeting to order at 1:45 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, tollowed by a roll call of District Officers present.

Brother Raymond Bolubec, Vice President of Dodge No. 20, greeted the assembly in lieu of his brother, President of Lodge 20, who is at present ill.

ization. Brother Chupick expressed his best wishes for a nice meeting that will "send us all home in a happier mood," a meeting to be looked back upon with pleasure.

Supreme Lodge attorney Kacir expressed his best wishes for a nice meeting, as did Supreme Lodge Director Navratil and Secretary of our Press Committee, Sister Hilda Brtis, who was present.

Editor Hosek, advised of the "lobbying" that our competitors were furthering in our legislative halls in Austin, that in order to remain "tax free" we must remain "fraternal in aspect" which calls for regular monthly meetings with formal rituals observed whenever possible at its important events.

Then Brother Jaroslov Kleperlik, from District VII, invited all to visit the Dis trict VII Meeting which will be held at Floresville, April 20th.

Next, our Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Joe B. Hejny, addressed the intent assembly.

"We need new members in order to grow because we all know that every day some member leaves our ranks, so we must continually work in order to off7: set and outnumber our "departing men.).‘. bership," Brother Hejny said, "and to this end our Youth fit in for in our' Youth, we have our future."

The Children's Program was then given so that the children could be taken out of the Lodge Hall during the business session of the meeting for the Easter Egg Hunt, under the supervision of District Youth Director Mrs. Clara Hejl, and other Lodge Youth Directors present. Sister Hejl, promised to later give us a detailed report on the number and participants from the various lodfes in the district, but we must mention that the children gave an excellent performance, and for the inconvenience of dressing space, they improvised and took everything in their stride like little troupers, to give us an most enjoyable program. Our sincere thanks goes to all "When we say our future, we mean of you girls and boys who made the in our lodges as well as in the United program possible!

Then Brother Hejny announced two rganizers who attained the "$25,000 „dub" in District II, namely: Brother Jen Mikolaj and Brother Charles Naratil, who were given beautiful gold nins with the Emblem of our Order to .vhich is attached a golden bar with •$25,000 Club" inscribed thereon, to the cheering of the assembly. Brother dejny gave some comparative statisi ics to District II Organizers so as to show them how they stood among the fraternity.

Speaking of Youth, Brother Hejny urged: "Help your Youth Directors. If you do not have a Youth Director, please elect one."

Brother Hejny then presented all.

Organizers there, as well as Youth Directors with a small gift, token in recognition of their efforts in our work.

13/ other Charles Navratil, retiring Dis1 met II Organizer, spoke to the assembly and gave a brief summary of the work in that District in the year 1957, during his tenure of office as District Organizer.

Brother Navratil explained that his District was mostly a farming district, where adverse conditions for the farmer had its effect on the town's businessmen which affected the purchasing power of the populace. He urged that all of the membership of District II lend their brother organizer a helping hand so that District II can reach its goal, to stand with the leading Districts in its sales for 1958. He congratulated the newly elected District Organizer, Brother Ben Mikolaj and extended his best wishes for a good year.

District President Frank Hejl, Jr., thanked the retiring District Organizer Navratil for his cooperation and good work in the past.

Brother Ben Mikolaj was then recognized by the Chair, and as newly elected District Organizer, pointed out that the organizational work in the District was too much for him to do alone, that he needed the help and good will of everyone in the District -- from the lodge organizers to the local membership, as a team! "Talk about the SPJST to everyone you meet, and if you think you have a prospect, tell your organizer immediately, to try to sign him up," urged Brother Mikolaj. The District cia)ta of $500,000 alloted to this District (an be reached if we work together," ha said. He further urged all members to attend their regular lodge meetings and to invite your neighbors to the District Meetings. "One always learns something new and useful at these District Meetings" pointed out District Or g anizer Mikolaj, who also endorsed at-

VESTNiX — WEST, TEXAS

tendance to all District Organizer's Workshop Sessions as most vital to his organizers. "The time has gone, when a person came in by himself to become a member, we have to go out after them, today,"said Brother Mikolaj. He then read a list of the achievements of his organizers so far this year. Concluding his talk, Brother Mikouaj pointed out that the big quota for District II can be made but that the organizers will have to start working immediately.

"Please help your organizers and our District will go forward — and our lodges too." he said.

The minutes of the last meeting of District II, held at Holland, Texas, were read and approved as read.

As Direstor of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Charles Navratil gave a short, but interesting, report on the progress of our fraternal brotherhood and then launched into the report of the SPJST Rest Home, of which he, too, is a Director.

While these two organizations are separate entirely, the Texas Czechs are vitally interested in the progress of their latest "project" which our fraternal order indulges them at these Meetings.

"At this time, we have 22 guests at the Rest Home," Brother Navratil commented. "Times are different than they were," he said and then launched into giving a fine talk on the Rest Home and its advantages for the older person. He invited each and every member to attend the formal opening and Dedication Ceremonies of the Rest Home on April 27th and the Celebration which will be held at our sister Lodge Praha 29, on this occasion. "I know that you will all be very proud that we were able to accomplish something so wonderful," he concluded.

District II President F. Hejl, Jr. thanked Brother Navratil and his co-workers for the splendid work they are doing for the Rest Home and upon a motion from the membership, a written acknowledgement of that splendid work is to be sent them in Taylor, Texas.

Brother Vitek read the Treasurer's Report for the District which was approved.

Supreme Lodge President Brother Edward L. Marek, then spoke to the Meeting. "My report at each of these gathered is that we should remember those who organized this Order for the progress of this Order in the State of Texas. They started out with bare hands to build a great organization, never dreaming it would ever be so large. The time is at hand for the younger mem bers to carry the load," he said. Brother Marek complimented our organizers who

Wednesday, April 9, 195$, are learning how to sell insurance, who now do not sell only the $1,000 policy to let someone else get the "cream" of the other thousands of dollars, but who through a better know-how and through our many advantages offered, get some of the "top cream" themselves in policy selling. "So when an SPJST organizer comes to you, listen to him and You will find that we have some of the finest insurance and at better rates," Brother Marek remarked.

Regarding our Youth—Brother Marek Pointed out: "We are appreciative of our Youth Directors who are here and those who are at home for it takes a lot of courage to present such a nice program as has been presented here today, by the little ones."

Brother Marek commented that the Supreme Lodge is glad to see the progress and harmony that prevails in the brotherhood and at the manner in which the Vestnik is edited and states that all like to read it. "We would like to see more reporters write 'from all of your communities and lodges and when you do this, you will enrich not only the pages of our Vestnik but the work of our whole fraternal order, and I am sure that your letters will be welcomed by our readers."

"In these meetings as we are gathered here this afternoon, we lay aside the insurance aspect of the fraternal order, come together to exchange !views, to en joy and to clasp hands with a brother, and sister, in an order which has been working for the past 60 years and I will say that it is going forward as your Brother Chupick has told you. It is the utmost determination of our Supreme Lodge to see that every function is preformed to the best of our ability. I assure you sisters and brothers, that we are doing our utmost. Thank you and God Bless You," said Brother Marek in concluding his talk to a thunderous applause.

Brother Vaclav Berina, District I Organizer, spoke briefly to this District II Meeting. Brother Barina has become a fine speaker whose wit and humor and delivery of his — punch lines —will make him a much sought speaker.

He had the crowd really laughing.

Seriously he commented that it was sure nice to get together, to meet and learn. something new everytime and he concluded his short speech with his extend• ed, Na Zdar! Applause.

Brother Reuben Leshikar, president of the Nominating Committee, submitted the name of officers up for election for the coming year, 1958.

It has been expressed before in Holland, and again at this time, that "new

Wednesday, April blood" be worked into the fraternal work of this District the retiring District President Frank Hejl, Jr., and his fellow district officers (all of whom promised their cooperation with the new group) so after presentation and upon invitation by Brother Hejl for additional deSired nominations of candidates from the floor for the various offices as they came up for election the following accepted the nomination and were elected by the District II membership. Brother Calvin Cervenka, of ROgers, Texas, was elected President of District II, to lead his group of newly elected young officers in that district in our fraternal work for the year 1958.

• To him, Brother Raymond Holubec was elected Vice-President; Brother A. L. Boudny Was elected as Secretary; Brother Henry Vitek as Treasurer and Sister Clara Hejl as District youth Director, to assist Brother Cervenka in his work.

The Vestnik humbly takes this space to congratulate this newly elected group and to wish them much success in their office for the year 1958, and to thank the retiring officers for their faithful and untiring efforts in behalf of their District, Lodges, and Fraternity.

In harmony and unanimity our fraternal efforts cannot miss their goal! Your Vestnik is "always at your service.

Supreme Lodge President, Brother Edward L. Marek agreed to install the newly elected officers, immediately. The officers presented themselves before the attending membership who witnessed their pledge of hearts, head, and hands to the offices to which they were elected. They were roundly welcomed by the.

Meeting as our new District II leaders for 1958.

The next District Meeting was invited to Taylor, Texas, Lodge Praha 29, to host same, which was accepted with thanks and date of this Meeting to be announced in the Vestnik at a later date.

There is also to be a Youth Achievement Day, which will also be announced later by District Youth Director, Sister Clara Hejl and her lodge leaders of our youth.

Brother Reuben Leshikar, another young brother, gave us a sketch of the planned activities for the Dedication Ceremonies of the SPJST Rest Home, and the Celebration in conjunction with the Dedication, by sister Lodge Praha 29, Taylor, Texas, which, because of more complete program appearing in the Vestnik was omitted, except for the fact that the Dedication Ceremonies will be short and Lodge Praha 29, expects to see everyone from. far and near there to spend a pleasant day with them.

Games for the youngsters throughout the afternoon and a Big Dance at eight to wind up a Successful eventful clay in the history of Czechs in Texas. "Ya ill come," he said.

Do this at the earliest date possible please. The Youth of District has good talent, so come on and let's prove to the members of the SPJST, what you can do.

Program Chairman, Dist. 7 Mrs. Betty Jurica, Rt. 2, Box 899 Corpus Christi, Texas. (dz) 4, ( ) DISTRICT FIVE MEETING I wish to remind all Lodges, Organizers and Members in District 5 that our next District meeting will be held on Sunday, April 13, 1958 ' at 1:30 p. in. at Lodge 88, in Houston, Texas.

All Officers and Directors of the Supreme Lodge are cordially invited, also, Editor and all our members and friends from other Districts. Brother Vice President Joe B. Hejny, will be with us to maks awards to the Organizers who qualified in 1957.

A short youth pro;),ram will precede the meeting and Officers for the ensuing year will be elected, so make a special effort to be with us.

Fraternally yours, J. M. Skrabanek, District Organizer District 5 THIRD PISTIlICT OP THE SPJST OF TEXAS A warm spirit of brotherhood prevecled the hall of lodge 92 when District TIT held its meeting there Sunday March 23. One of the first things noticed was the activity of the young people of that lodge which carried right into the Meeting when order was called by president Joe Juran.

The youth of the Fort Worth lodge led by their pr.sitOult be Peel Hubenak

led the assembly in the American Pledge and the singing of the national anthem and "kde domov rimy. Brother J. L. Bartek voiced the hope that the meeting would be successful and fraternal in. in spirit. Routine business followed.

A note from Brother Robert Cervenka explained his first absence from a district meeting was due to illness. We hope that he is better. The remainder of the morning session was devoted to short talks omu many of the visitors.

Many remarks were valuable and noteworthy All were a fraternal exchange of good will. First to be recognized was Brother Kleperlik, president of district VII who spoke in Czech and invited the assembly to Floresville to their District meeting on April 20. Brother Chas. Navratil of District II concluded his remarks by noting that work for the Order begins in ones home. Brother L. 0. Hosek pointed cut the importance of the district gatherings and along with Brother Sid Pokladnik expressed the need for young people to gather in the meetings with the older members. Sister Emma Ceska added that the neat cleancut look of the youth was something we were all proud of. She pointed out that six youth directors were present.. They were Sister Bessie Petr, Lodge No. 84; Dolfie Hrabina, Lodge No. 25; Mary Laznovsky, Lodge No. 135; Flora Koci, Lodge No. 92; Libbie Parma, Lodge No. 66 and Mary Renfro Lodge No. 154.

(Editor: Wish we had all their pictures.)

Brother Chupick of the Supreme Lodge brought out the importance of the individual in the organization. Baseing his talk on instances when ONE vote has swayed the fate of a nation he stated, we should not be fatalists in our estimation of self-importance. He prodded each one to realize that what one can do is to take home the zealous spirit of fraternalism and do his share NOW. A wonderful past is wonderful — today let us provide for the future.

Brother Hejny greeted the group in Czech stating that his share in the days program would come in the afternoon session.

Brother Marek also of the Supreme Lodge gave interesting facts about the steady growth of our order. Noting the youth in the assembly he said that in the past five years 60 per cent of the membership was under 12 years of age when joining. Also the average overall age for this period is 20 years. This should indicate that indeed youth work is the most needed purpose of the coming year. Along another trend of thought President 1Viarck stated that along with

Wednesday, April 9, 1951? the progress of fraternities, organizers must have the same training as commercial agents. To the membership he addressed this thought on helping the SPJST grow, "Talk to your neighbor."

To the youth he said, "The future is in your hands. Strengthen your bonds with your fraternity in these meetings. Prepare for your day." He then admonished the older members, "Youth is our potentiality. Your duty is to train and guide them to become our future members and leaders."

One of the warmest attestments that our youth is capable was the talk by Richard Sykora, president of Lodge 84, Teenage Club, when he introduced their young queen to the assembly. Equally as well received was the welcomed voiced by Kathryn Fay Hubenak in absence of Joe Paul, president of Lodge 92, Teenage group.

Brother Ben Jarma who is an outstanding worker in his Lodge 84, Dallas, gave his experiences with the baseball team in that lodge, which has been very active and as Brother Sid Pokladnik later stated in encouragement of such activity in other lodges, indicate that "Czechs can play ball."

The afternoon session followed a very good meal served by the ladies of Lodge 92. They had very enthusiastic assistants in the young folks. Altogether a most hospitable atmosphere. Thanks a million.

Two of the directors of the SPJST Rest Home gave interesting information concerning the rest home. They were brothers Frank A, Laznovsky and Chas.

Navratil. Brother Laznovsky commended. Brother Navratil for the great share of the work of the directors he had shouldered. An invitation was given by Brother Navratil to attend the formal opening to be held April 27 at Taylor.

Brother Hanus stated the need for further funds for the landscaping of the home. Since it was expressed that the home was in great need of funds for other purposes the district voted to donate $100. to the operating fund.

During the part of the program devoted to the work of the organizers the membership learned. something of the scope of this work. We all know that this is actually the backbone of the order. Yet often we fail to recognize the amount of work these members do.

Many of us do none of the things we so easily could do to help them. So it is of utmost importance that they receive recognition publicly as often as possible. Their work is often discouraging and unless someone revives their enthusiasm they often let the trail get cold and believe me there is nothing

VESTNfK — WEST, TEXAS colder than the cold trail of a prospect as any organizer can tell you!

So the Award program is something to be encouraged, and. if possible, enlarged.

Receiving awards for double or over $12,000 sales were ten organizers from District III. They were Joe Slavik, Emil Hanus, Alvin Nesuda, Emil Popp, Ben Jarma, Stanley Vdla, Emil Petr, J. R. Bartek, Arnold Vrla, and Anna Milan.

Their efforts netted from $13,000 to $192, 000 results. Sister Anna Milan received outstanding recognition. Brother Emil Popp could not be present due to illness.

We were sorry but it was nice to have you call, Brother Popp.

Further awards for work in the last half of 1957 went to Joe Dujka, Otis Ceska, J. A. Holub, Emil Hanus, Ed G. Mazanec, Will Hrabina, Bob Toupal, Will Hejny, Mary Laznovsky, F, B. Steiner, Alvin Nesuda, Geo. Strunc, F. J. Haskovec, Ben Jarma, Stan. Vrla, Emil Petr. The last three named totaled $155,500 in four months work.

The last item on the agenda was the Youth program, The leaders and their charges had returned to the meeting from a period of recreation. Sister Emma Ceska talked of the objects of a successful program which must bring general happiness of which mirth is the gauge, She stated that leaders can assist but that it is the children who will actually make the program. She brought out the importance of the point system. The idea of a Spring Youth Day as broached in the special meeting held by the officers in January was discussed. Final discussion set the day as June 29th to be held in Ennis at the National Hall. Details will be available later.

Installation of officers was held immediately following election with Brother Edward L .Marek in charge. Installed were Emil Petr, president, Sid Pokladnik, vice president; George Trojacek 2nd vice president; Wilma Nesuda, secretary; Jay Dee Waggoner, treas.; Emma Ceska and Bessie Petr, youth directors.

Although Brother Frank A. Laznovsky was in line for nomination as president he resigned. due to pressure of other offices.

Before adjournment the place of the fall meeting was set as Ennis, Ladge 25, National Hall.

All in all, a good meeting wouldn't you say?

WILMA NESUDA, Secretary, District III 4 DISTRICT HI ORGANIZERS HOLD WORKSHOP AT WEST, TEXAS Wednesday, April 2, Lodge Jaromir 54, West, Texas, was host to the DiseTo

(

Strana 19 trict III Organizer's Workshop, under the supervision of Br. Joe Hejny, VicePresident of the Supreme Lodge, and direction of Brother Arnold Vrla, District III Organizer.

The "Top" and some lesser organizers of District III, were present on the front row, in fact, and a lively organizers session was had, as well as a very in formative one.

The various organizers used Brother Vrla as their "prospect model" and sold him SPJS'T insurance, brough up pertinent questions on various phases of our policies — everything from fraternal policy to contingent beneficiaries.

Brother Hejny and Brother Vrla both. outlined the Organized's 1958 contest, how the District III "quota" for 1958 was arrived at etc.

Brother Vrla outlined how the "Cash' Award Contest" will determine winners —on the basis of what each individual organizer has sold, so that everyone 'has an equal chance.

Brother Vila also announced that, Lodge 84, would host the Fraternal.

Council of Texas, Monday, April 28th.,-, and invited all organizers of District III to be present.

These "workshops" are a vital part of our organizers' training, informing them of changes taking place in our Order, new policies and practices. It haS been shown how an organizer "who did notknow" shortchanged himself out of a nice commission right in his own farriL ily circle, because he was too busy to attend his workshop.

The Organizer of Tomorrow (back.. bone of our Order) will be the one who will make his organizer's job A BUSI, NESS PROPOSITION, keeping himself, informed and abrest by attending every? thing pertaining to his phase of his business.

His sales and commissions will grow, while the indifferent organizer will "Weed" himself out of the picture.

Read the "Writing on the Wall," at--;: tend your District Workshop!

Thanks to Lodge Jaromir 54, for the use of their nice Hall and for the' re?, freshments.

Brother Arnold Vrla, has been complimented by all those present for his unique and . efficient way of conducting these educational meetings. We appreciate his time and efforts put in this work. Other meetings of our organizers will be held at Fort Worth on the 8th; at Ennis, Lodge 25 on the 10th of April, at Dallas, Lodge 84 on the 17 of April. — Editor.

REPORTS FROM OUR COLLEGES Many of our young Czech students in our University and other institutions of higher learning receive honors annually for their scholastic achievements.

We would like very much to have some of these students, — one in each college to report such pleasant news to our Vestnik. Many of them may be, in the future, some of our leaders in public life, and I am sure that our members will enjoy reading such dates which would also enable us to get better acquainted with them.

The University of Texas College of Education has named 103 students on its Fall semester scholastic honor roll, Dean L. D. Haskew announced.

Leading the dean's list are five students with 51 grade points or 17 semester hours of "A". They are Wanda Lee Broughton of Childress, Marjorie Ann Creswell of Fort Worth, Ethyl Maria Johnson of Henderson, Betty Jayne • acir of Temple, and Marcia Adele Wade of Indianapolis, Indiana. Congratulations.

About thirty-five years ago, Frank Kurtz, from Ennis received his honors in the Engineering Department of the University of Texas and we are glad to report that he is now at the head of a large division with the Southern Pacific in Les Angeles and San Francisco, California.

Ths is to show that some of our now young students can be leaders in the future in our business world.

We shall be glad to present them if we get the information from our different colleges.

litSTNIK -- WEST, TEXAS LODGE POKROK 88

Houston, Texas Dear Members and Friends of Lodge 88: The final week before the great Big Easter semi-formal dance was indeed gratifying. The members on the six committees worked together as one team together and succeeded in their prediction of several weeks ago that this modern Easter dance would be a success.

When someone comes forward with such advance data from our ticket committee and say," over 350 tickets have already been sold." Then, you look over to the other side and find that some 40 mothers of the Lodges birthday club have been backing this dance, and have once again donated the cost of printing the tickets. .. what a wonderful spirit of lodge fraternaliscr4 that prevails in this group of women: . . thanks again to the members of this group.

Let's squeeze in another bit of fraternal spirit by another good member of our Lodge. . . that goes to brother Dick Schnell who always finds the time to stop and give us a helping hand.. . he made us the large outdoor sign to advertise our dance. . . a good job clone and thanks Dick. . Mrs. Hazel Hayes, the owner of the Southwestern Display Company, located at 6225 St. Augustine Street was helpfui in donating the use of the spotlight for our floor show. . . this added success. . . If we look around we will find another hard working member in the name of Mrs. Mary Johnson, who not only plays in our Czech plays, but is always demanding to do her part in any celebration we may have. . . the proof is that instead of the committees calling her to help them in their ventures, she calls the'Committees asking in what way she may help. . . ixogine what a bigger success our lodge would be if we had about six more members like her. . . thanks for your cooperation Mrs. Johnson. . .

Another sweet and energetic young member who had done her part for our dance is Mrs. J. Fires. . . thanks for calling to sell the tickets. . . ., Another bouquet goes to Mr. F. D. Allison for his generosity in supporting our dance. Another member for many years who has contributed success to our lodge is our good sister Mrs. B. Pagel, who has recently been hospitalized at memorial hospital . . . room 378. . . hoping you quick recovery Mts. Pagel. . . we want you to get well real soon. . . Well, that's about all to say about the week before the dance ,but more will be written about it's actual success next week. . . remember. . ." WISDOM is knowing what to do.

Wednesday, April 9, 195B is like a magnet drawing me into the garden and makes one glad one is alive.

I do hope that you are all now well and enjoying this wonderful season of the year; that your joys will outmeasure your troubles and sorrows and that I shall be able to see you ALL soon at some of our District Meetings.

Elsewhere in the Vestnik, please read Mrs. Ruby Holly's write-up of her project — namely the Baazar Booth at the contemplated Celebration and Dedication of the SPJST Rest Home, and if you good sisters feel you would like to further a worthy cause, won't you send Mrs. Holly your contribution for her booth so that her success can be your success, as all of the proceeds will go to the Rest Home. Bless you all.

With my sincerest best wishes, I remain for now, Fraternally yours, The Editor's wife ) • 4, • ( Cyclone, Texas Dear Readers: The Youth of our Lodge 24 being busy with school affairs asked that I convey their thanks for the wonderful time they had at the District meeting in Granger.

We are thankful to Mrs. Hejl for giving us a place on the program. The egg hunt was fun. We also look forward to another good year as Mrs. Hejl will be District Youth leader, may I add we all think she is the best.

Since so many have been asking about what happened to our Square Dance Club, may be I should write a little about it. Most of the boys and girls who belonged to it, are now grown, some are married and others are seniors in High School, some are off at College and a few are the back bone of our present Youth Club. I think it is a big credit to our Lodge officers of Lodge 24 and the Hall manager at that time, Mr. Raymond Marek. P. P. Even tho he has gone on to the Great Beyond it is fair to say how many hours, he and his family, with out any compensation put in for the benefit of the Youth. I know that all the Square Dancers have a wonderful memory of him. Our Lodge officers are always so generous to the Youth.

To the folks who helped support the square dance club might like to know that George Bedrich and Janet Luksa are now at San Marcos State Teachers College, Ed Marchak, Janelle Heller, Nolan Cobb and Rosamond Hoelscher at Temple Jr. College; Dean Mikeska at the University of Texas. John Ward at Huntsville State College; Ben Doskocil at Arlington State College. Rosie Dosko-

Coufal of San Marcos and a group who are Seniors at Rogers High School and a few other Schools, most of whom will go on to Higher Education.

The 100 cups at the lodge hall are a gift of the Square Dance Club also the tree lights at Christmas time have been donated by that group. Also the beautiful punch bowl was donated by them.

So all of us who helped that club know we did a lot of good. Our present club does not square dance, but they have inherited the things that they no longer need, and I know they will grow up into just fine a group as their big sisters and brothers have.

It is nice of them to attend functions at our Lodge whenever possible and they sure do. To me it is especially nice to see them at our programs. We have fond memories together.

May I urge the children again, do come and be members of our Lodge 24 Youth Club.

Fraternally, Mrs. Robert W. Hoelscher Editor's Note: It was a real pleasure to meet you at Granger and thanks for your fine informative letter.. )• •( Robstown, Texas Dear Members: A reminder that there will be an important meeting of the Robstown SPJST Lodge No. 117, on Sunday, April 13, 1958 at 2:00 p. m. at the Moravian Hall in Robstown.

There will also be an Easter Egg Hunt for the children after the meeting. All members are urged to attend.

At the beginning of this spring, we had had a few nice and warm days. I hope it stays that way for some time as we have had enough of these cold and rainy days this past winter.

The farmers are busy in the fields now, preparing the land and some are already planting.

So, again, brothers and sisters, don't forget the meeting Sunday, April 13 and come. I hope to see you ALL there.

Meeting was brought to order, minutes read and approved as read ,than on to bussiness at hand, which brought on a discussion about one District meeting No. 7 which wil be held in our hall near Floresville, April 20. Our Sisters are asked to please bring a dish of anything besides meat which will be taken care of by our men members of the lodge and also please bring some goodies: such as, cake, pie, or kolaches or what you please, and we also will need plenty help in the kitchen. So please you all do help.

Than also we will have an Easter egg Hunt for the little ones in our next meeting which will be April 13th. we also will have lunch and refreshments after the meeting. So bring out all the little ones and let them enjoy themselves.

We also have 2 new memberrs; one in the juvenile department, sorry can't think of her name, and Kathrine Cobbs in the adult division. Welcome to both of them hope that, I have Miss Cobbs first name right.

Now seems like every tractor is out in the fields and farmers around here are trying to catch up on field work, which was delayed by wet weather.

Planting is pretty well on the way.

Well I am out of news so will close with best regards to all.

Excise Taxes are, due some careful scrutiny by the Ways and Means Committee soon. Many on this key panel believe these levies, most of them instituted during wartime, are constituting a drag on the economy by adding to prices and increasing buyer resistance.

If some of these levies are to be repealed or reduced, it seems likely that among the first to go will be the 10 per cent excise tax on passenger cars and auto assessories. This could provide a major lift to the sagging automobile industry, as excises account for between $200 and $250 in the price of the average new car.

Two bills have been introduced to repeal auto excise taxes, one, by Republican Keith Thom pson of Wyoming and one by Democrat Thad Machrowicz of Michigan, a car-conscious manufacturing area.

Both bills contain retroactive clauses to reimburse buyers who have purchased new cars since March lst.

If you've made a deal for a new auto since this date or expect to get one soon, it thus seems almost certain you will get the benefit of any such reduction Congress may enact, By the terms of the pending bills, the dealer wiuld get a rebate of taxes paid and would be required to pass it on to those who have bought cars from him after March 1. s 079 s A man can cash in good resolutions if he keeps them long enough to earn dividends. ) 4 When wide awake, to get to bed at midnight is something I prefer not to attempt, but if sleepy, I don't mind going to bed at 7 p.m.

The City of Ennis will hold its Bluebonnet festival activities in April with a big program on April 18 at the Ennis High School Football Stadium. Various clubs in the surrounding territory will participate. The program will consist of square dancing, folk dancing; clowning acts, and numerous other numbers.

The 1958 Blue bonnet Festival Queen will be selected from candidates representin g high schools in Ellis County.

Candidate from Ennis High School is Birdessa Reel, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. Reel, one of our members. Best of luck, Birdessa. The Sokol children's classes will perform the mass calisthenics and many of them will square dance with their respective teams. A parade will be held on Saturday mornirg, April 19. Bluebonnet Trails will be maiked for several weeks. I am sure that any of our surounding Sokols and friends would thoroughly enjoy anyone of these events.

A speedy recovery is wished to Brother Jerry Zazvorka who has been ill in the Ennis Hospital for several weeks now. One of our youngest gymnasts, David Houdek. son of Gladys and George Houdek, had an operation in Baylor Hospital in Dallas. We hope he is well soon.

VESTNfK — WEST, TEXAS

Strana 27 Lodges are interested in starting a softball team this comming season. Among them are Lodge 92 Fort Worth and Lodge No. 66, Elm Mott and to these two lodges we in Dallas, Lodge No. 84 wish you the best of luck and sincerely hope your members will back you and help you get started like our members did four years ago. The first year is always the hardest, but I know that your members who will back your softball teams at your respective lodges will be glad you did after you see the ultimate results. Maybe in the future, we can have a softball game between two of these teams at one of our District Meetings. Brother and Sisters, let's give' this thought some consideration.

At the end of the season, our team will award a trophy to the ball player elected by his teammates as the "most "Valuable Player" and also a trophy to the player on the team with the "best batting average" in our league games We feel this will result in even better team spirit and will also result in inaproving our team hitting. Of course, we will still present a trophy to the "Champion Ballthrower" at the end of the season.

The team hopes to have another ;meet ing of all the players, their wives and children before the season starts. plans are to have a wiener roast at our lodge hall on Wednesday night, April 9th. The final plans and details will be worked out and all concerned will be notified.

We hope that all our members and friends will support the team at' the games by their attendance and 'their rooting for our team. We'll be looking for you at the games.
