ODA DOPISOVATELC Houston, Texas Pan L. 0. Hoaek, West, Texas Dekuji veledustojne te mfij dopis po 6 tYdnim jednani byl konedne uvetejnen.

Ten dopis byl adresovan vaem elentim Jednoty a tadnemu jednotlivci. •ZacinY nerna pra y () aby obmezoval nahled elenfr pokud se drti bez uratek svuj dopis napsat. Toto jest rntij nahled a bude-li tteba jsem ochoten se dostaviti kam bude tteba a osobne si svuj nahled obrajit. — Sestry a bratti SPJST ten milj dopis mate nyni ye Vestniku pied sebou a rad bych slytel vat usudek co v tom bylo uratliveho, ze ho br. redaktor nechtel uvetejnit. Motna, te budou nejake namitky ale ty se daji po bratrsku urovnat a neni tteba C. & K. censura. Od br. redaktora tadam jen vysvetleni prod ona veta tYkajice se referendum byla dvakrate silnou eervenou tutkou akrtnuta.

Ta vela znela: My jsme podobne referen dum meli v natl. Jednoty ale ut delti eas jest ze stanov vyhozena. Jen tato vysvetleni tadam. To jest asi vae a doufam, to tento muj dopis nebude prodelavat tu ktitovou cestu jako ten prvni.

Jestlit'e ano, dovedu si najiti cestu k pravu tteba, to bude trochu pozdeji.

S pozdravem vaem sestram a bratrfun SPJST. Joe Kalouseb.

Poznamka red.: — Mill bratte Kalousku, — tim te jsem v tomto dopisu uvedl i ty slova ktere jsem minil s tveho dopisu minuleho vynechati, doufam, te jsem Tobe vyhovel .

Pohlitim na tuto yea takto:— Posledni sjezd v Temple si zvolil redaktora vice net 12000 hlasfi. Domnivam se tedy, te jsem byl poyeten cluverou, ze dovedu posoudit co by melo s dopisu naaich elenti bYti vynechano obzvla gte v ptipadech, kdyt tak einim jen ve snaze aby dobra vale vetainy byla zachovana a aby se pte deal° akodlive /lam vSimene nahledu. — S tim "referendum" jsme milt' bratte men pied lety' neuspokojive skuaenosti.

Procedura hlasovani se neosvedeila. Nebylo ani to co cloalo, projev vuli elenstva, nYbrt pouhe menainy. — Zajem v takovem hlasovani byl pod prUmer, velice zdlouhavY a nevyjdatil vuli vetainy nag eho elenstva a pro tu ptieinu byl sjezdem ze stanov odstranen. Tedy znovu bych ptipomel, ze yule elenstva jest nejlepe vyjadtena, v natich vaInStch sjezdech nikoliv referendem. — Vice se o teto zaletitosti ktera se tYkala Domova, rozepisovat nebudu, neni to moji zodpovednosti a prosim, abychom nate ptatelske vztahy takovou rozpravkou vice nepoakozovali.

"Nedbej toho ,devedko, jen jd1 pied chaloupku, najdeS tam studanku."

Ptistavila vodu, aby se ohtala a rozvazala ranee, zda-li by piece v nem neco nenagla. A hle, tu z popela je mouka, z kury slanina a z kamene byl chleb.

"Dobie tatieku, veru lepSi sluZby jste mi nernohl najiti," chvalila si MarySka i rozpravela mu vgecko, 1 jak ji Loktibrada obdaroval a IrZecky dukaty mu da la. Milt' otec jde s dukaty domu. Ut z daleka ho uvidel psieek a zaeal Ztekat.

UchyStala ji petiny a sate i jidel, co by jen unesla. 8el tedy otec s nevlastni dcerou do lesa srobil ji chaloupku s komtirkou a nechal ji tam.

Holena sedi v chaloupce a mysli, co do brelao si uvatit. I vederu pti gel tam tebrak a povida: "Dej BUh gtesti, deveatko. Jsem velmi u gly, nechtela bys mne umkt a nakrmit?"

Ona se lekla a schovala se za pee do kouta.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK welfare of the Institute, said.

From One R,c et To "Through history, those years in which Life Insurance Lapse a mortality rise has been directly traceRate Higher Last able to an influenza epidemic have Anothe generally been followed by a period in Year When a man buys permanent insur- which a material decline in death rates

ance today, he builds two capital ac• counts: one for his family in case he dies prematurely and one for himself in case he lives beyond retirement from active business, If necessary, therefore, it may be wise for him to pay premiums out of capital. A nationally-known New York bank recently explained it this way "A man should not hesitate to withdraw bank deposits, if necessary, or sell securities and reinvest such sums by continuing to make his life insurance deposits. Such action is simply a transfer of capital froxione pocket to another." ) 9 (

He, For PolicyOwners The death rate among the owners of America's 86,000,000 ordinary life insurance policies rose in. 1957, the first increase in five years, the Institute of Life Insurance reports. The rise is attributed. largely to the influenza epidemic, although that disease and pneumonia together accounted for only two and one-half per cent of total deaths.

Complications following influenza affected the results in many other categories, notably diseases of the heart and circulatory system.

The over-all 1957 death rate among these ordinary policyholders is reported by the Institute to be 607.3 per 100,000 compared with 581.7 the year before and 630.2 ten years earlier. That indicates that there were some 14,000 inure policyholder deaths last year then would have occurred had the previous year's rate still applied.

"There is reason to believe that 1953 may see recovery from the past year's dip in the health record, possibly achieving a new record low death rate," Dr. I.euis I Dublin. consultant on health and

has been reported."

The death rate among policyholders last year from influenza and pneumonia coo.ebined wa,.s. up 25 per cent from the year before. It is estimated that in the neighborhood of 9,000 ordinary insurance policyholders died from these corncombined causes, but that was a low fatality rate considering that approximately 20,000,000 cases of Asian influenza were reported in the United States in the last four months of the year.

Most of the other major comes of death showed rate increases in 1957, including heart disease, which is still the No. 1 killer. The death rate from diseases of the cardiovascular-renal system was 346.0 per 100,000, accounting for more than half of all policyholder deaths.

This was the highest rate for diseases of the heart and circulatory system, since 1954 and according to Dr. Dublin, "this rise can be credited largely to the aftermath of the influenza epidemic."

The death rate from cancer rose about 5 per cent in 1957 to the highest rate on record, accounting for almost one-fifth of all deaths.

Reduced death rates were reported for tuberculosis, communicable diseases of childhood, polio and suicide.

The acident death rate rose slightly in the year due to an increase in both as fatalities and deaths from other accidents.

Tuberculosis reached a new low of less than. one-half of one per cent of total deaths. e4 4 Let's all strive wholeheartedly to gain cur goal set for 19 .58 — to sign, up $3,"MOO-worth of new Insurance.

Whoever runs from an enemy permits that enemy to run his life.

The rate of voluntary termination of ordinary life insurance commonly called the "lapse rate" increased last year for the second consecutive year, but is still below the rates generally prevailing for the two decades prior to World War II, according to the Institute of Life Insurance.

The 1957 over-all lapse rate on ordinary insurance policies, covering both lapses and surrenders, was 5.4 per cent compared with 42 per cent the year before and an average of about 3.8 per cent for the 1950's thus far. The 1957 rate is about half that of the early 1930's and is well under that for the 1920's.

On policies in force two years or more, however, the rate in 1957 was 3.9 er cent, contrasted with the 5.4 overall rate.

The upward trend in lapse rate has appeared to continue, but at a reduced rate, since the turn of the year, measured' by policy surrender value payments.

Precentage wise the 1957 rise in lapse rate was material, running more than one-fourth larger than the year before, but it is still at a relatively low level, the Institute said. During the war and early post-war years, the rate was materially lower than had ever before been recorded.

While lapse rate increases are normally associated with dips in business activity, this time some part of the lapse increase appears to be the result of several current factors in the life insurance business.

In the first place, a proportionately greater share of lapses always occur in the early years of policy life and thus in times of unusually large sales, lapses will naturally rise. Refleding the record purchases of recent years, the percentage of one-and-two year old policies has been increasing. This would naturally account for some rise in over-all lapse rate, even if the lapse rate remained unchanged in the younger and older groups separately considered.

vEsnific

Wednesday, 4pril 30, 1958 Also, there was an increased contribution to lapses this past year, due to a material expansion of family insurance planning and the development of package policies, with the natural result of replacement of some policies as families expanded their insurance protection under redesigned programs.

Another, perhaps minor contributing factor is the continued growth of policies which have served their purpose and fulfilled their original need, the result of the aging of policies written over the past two decades for specific needs. Policies taken out to cover mortage repayment, education of children or retirement, for instance might not be needed if the home is sold, after graduation of the children or actual retirement, and thus might be voluntarily terminated or lapsed. )•4*(

Family Reunions With the coming of a glorious Spring

We will gladly publish announcements of these family reunions if the date, place and the names of families concerned are given to us in time.

WEST, TEXAS

To All Members An Lodges It is our hope that you will all enjoy the program of our fraternity that we are presenting to you at every occasion.

But more than that, we hope that all of your thinking will be provoked so that we all will this year renew our efforts to promote fraternalism more than ever before in its purest form.

Fraternalism is something that our generation has, not because we bought it or developed it; rather, it is a heritage of the highest order. Each Lodge should therefore, plan interesting meetings for its members and encourage them to attend and take advantage of every opportunity to participate in fraternal activities. The fraternal insurance concept is the same now as it always was. It was founded upon the principles of brotherly love and to provide life insurance benefits for its members and their families. Let us, therefore, live up to our true calling by improving constantly our certificates of benefits to meet the present day economic needs, by re-analyzing our markets for these benefits, and spread the gospel of fraternalism throughout so it will reach the branch or lodge level where our members meet. When our members recognize the true fraternal spirit, we can say then that we are beginning to successfully carry on as we should with this heritage that our forefathers left to US. )

Linguistic Obligations Noted More and better foreign language instruction is not only the school's obligation to young students, but to the entire citizenship of Texas, Dr. Harry Ransom, University of Texas vice-president and provost, declared recently.

Dr. Ransom opened a two-day conference on the part that languages can play in the development of Texans.

The University administrator, whose academic field in English, said the University itself "hasn't reached full bloom" in the language development it should expect and "owes to the state." However, he said the Board of Regents and various state boards and agencies have assured that languages "will be given marked support" in new and significant programs scheduled to begin next September at the University.

A proposal which would require a minimum of two years high school credit in

Stralla 15 foreign languages for admission to the College of Arts and Sciences is now being studied. If adopted', the new standard would be effective September, 1960.

East Bernard Lodge s Host To District VI The District VI Meeting was called to order at 10:30 assn. in the High School Auditorium at East Bernard, Sunday, April 20, by District President Brother Jhas. Holy of Hallettsville, Texas.

Upon the completion of the singing of "America" by the gathered membership, Brother Stanley Bartosh, President of the local East Bernard Lodge welcomed everyone to East Bernard and hoped that they would have a successful meeting; then turned the meeting over co District President Brother Holy, again.

The minutes of the last District VI Meeting were read and approved as read.

Letters from "well wishers" from sister districts were also read.

Brother Ig. Senkyrik gave a financial report to the District, having taken over from our beloved and departed Brother Frank Rod, and later also made a short report on the successful Hillje Picnic held since the last District VI Meeting.

Brother J. F. Chupick, secretary of the Supreme Lodge, gave a very interesting talk on the progress in our fraternal order during the time that he has been closely connected with the Supreme Lodge headquarters; and of the opportunity he has had to meet most of the membership. "Even though I am the third generation of Czech in Texas," he said, "I have grown up among our people and I love them."

Commenting upon the District Meetings, Brother Chupick remarked that these gatherings were to give impetus to the work of bringing the SPJST before the public. He further stated that this phase of our work needed to progress at a little faster tempo and that if each and every member would help their home organizers it would pick up momentuiv tremendously. "The field is big," said Brother Chupick," and if we rtin out of prospects of Czech extraction, there are still our neighbors and friends of American extraction that should become acquainted with our fine fraternal order."

Brother Chupick pointed out that technically, we are all Americans, and that the English language will eventually prevail in all of our proceedings.

When we get too particular and solicit only those that speak Czech, we do not have any field. We must shut our eyes to the younger people's inability to speak Czech. It was only a few individuals that started the American Independence and it takes only a few to do a great deal of good."

Brother Chupick also brought "greet-

ings" from fellow officers in the Supreme Lodge who could not be there, who were attending other meetings, and reassured the membership that he is always at the service of the membership at the Supreme Lodge headquarters at any time.

Brother Senkyrik, District VI Supervisor of their organizers, also welcomed all of those present and wished them a pleasant time among the East Bernard group. He spoke of the beneficial and good work our Order has done among its membership; that many a widow and her orphaned children were fed and educated. by our fraternity. "There is a terrific difference between the family that is insured and one that is not," Brother Senkyrik said, "and it is only at the death of the breadwinner that his concern for the family's welfare, or the neglect of it, comes to light. Children of the deceased want to eat, go to school, and live like other children on their level in. the neighborhood, whether the breadwinner is living or not. They cannot understand death and its full implication."

Brother Senkyrik pointed out that the SPJST is well represented in East Bernard in membership; that it was the East Bernard pioneer fathers that organized this lodge, that they saw its necessity in their families' scheme of living.

Reminescing, Brother Senkyrik recalled that the founders of the Lodge in this community were looking for something where they could meet and talk to each other in Czech, for they were handicapped by language barriers, where one man would mean something to the other man, (brotherhood) and his family. The SPJST Order was founded. The first policies were usually $500 Life, but later as necessity demanded new policies were added with more advantages. Today we have many, many attractive features to offer our membership. In fact, to be a competent organizer, District Workshops and school sessions are sponsored by the Supreme Lodge, so that the organizer is thoroughly familiar with the policies that he is selling."

Today, your insurance policy has an intrinsic value all of its own. It has a loan value in time, it can be used as a collateral in a bank loan, or act as a co-signer on your hospital bill, if an emergency should arise in your family.

The Editor of the Vestnik spoke, on the value of the Vestnik to the organizer and his prospect, on the bringing together of the lodges and their activities

etc. Brother Hosek bid all Lodges represented in the District VI Meeting, to stand in harmony behind the lodge and district Youth Directors, to encourage youth participation in each lodge's work and play. He bid each and everyone present to become better acquainted with each other, so that better understanding and lasting, true friendships will come about with a more intimate acquaintance.

Brother Ed. Sralla, the newly elected Director of the SPJST from District VI, who replaces our late Brother Frank Rod, spoke .a few words of welcome - and pledged his cooperation to the membership in their problems. The work of Director for this district is interesting," he said, "and I hope I shall be able to satisfy you."

Everybne being in general accord, as the noon hour approached, the meeting was adjourned until the afternoon session which was to meet again at 1:30 We filed out of the beautiful High School Auditorium into its coMfortable School Cafeteria when the East Bernard sisters, standing behind the gleaming steam tables in a team, with spoons poised, dispatched all of the hungry folks with efficiency and fast service "so" that the food was hot, the drinks refreshing and the pastries delicious.

Inasmuch as there was another -District Meeting being held simultaneous-

Wednesday, April 30, 1958 Iy in East Bernard by one. of our sister societies, the good sisters had to divide the personnel, for in a town of but so many souls, everyone belongs to more than one lodge or society and when their activities fall together on the same day, it causes some apprehension; how best to serve each need. They had planned to have this meeting on the 27th, but due to the fact that the SPJST Rest Home later designated this day for its "Dedication Day" the District VI Meeting was advanced one week, to again, conflict with the Meeting of the sister society, but the sisters in this instance did a remarkable job of hostessing us. Many thanks for your delicious meal, the way you greeted each of us, your smiles, handshakes,nods etc. and to your beautiful and charming teenage daughters who waited on us at the tables with additional coffee and tea.

Everyone was pleasantly relaxed as they left the cafeteria — satisfied.

The afternoon session of the District VI Meeting was called to order by Brother Holy and immediately the Youth Program' was presented.

Sister Edith (Louis) Janik of East Bernard Lodge welcomed the assembly to enjoy and give encouragement to the youth represented here today.

The first number by Biara Brdecka was on the piano, playing "To the Knights of Old," was very nice.

2. A Pantomime "All Shook Up" by La Nette Puress, to the record player was very effectively presented and pleasantly received. Note: Mr. Elvis Presley, look out! Competition is coming!

3. "Problems" 'a poem by Sandra Brdecka was cute.

4. "Thank you America," sung by Annette and Bernadette Bartos, accompanied by Patricia Ahlhorn was beautiful, likened to enumerating our blessings in America.

5. A very timely and clever poem "Chewing Gum" was given by Jeannette Erlich. You should have heard her.

6. Another Pantomime, "Young Love"

by Gary Mathews and Gary Hewett — two youngsters, very cleverly given. One didn't know until they started to leave the stage that the cute little girl, was really a boy. (He pulled off his wig.)

7. A skit "Headless Hilda" by Jeanette Bartos, Gregory Janik and Geneva Seydler.

8. A Pantomime by Deanne Sbrush, "Rock and Roll Waltz" was one of the cutest and most original ever presented.

Her Wardrab and gesticulations were perfect, everyone liked her number very much. She's a lovely teen-ager!

9. "The Witch Doctor," pantomime by La Nette Pruess, was nice.

VASTNfK — WEST, 'TEXAS 10. Song, "Do Lord," by Bairn, Louis.

Trudy and Sandra Brdecka was rythmic and well presented.

11. The closing poem by Bernadette Bartos, was nice but her voice was so low that possibly irony did not hear her. (Use the "mike" next time, honey!)

Mrs. Frank Brdecka was Program Director and took a bow.

Mrs. Louis Janik, Youth Club Director also took a bow.

Miss Annette Bartos, Mistress of Ceremonies took a bow. Brother Joe B. Hejny; SupreMe Lodge Vice-President, Supervisor of the Youth Movement as well as being in charge of the organizers' work, was then introduced as being instrumental in the success of the program by the Mistress of Ceremonies.

From the ovation that the children received, there was no 'doubt that not only the doting kin, but everyone there, enjoyed the children's performanCe to the fullest. Thanks and congratulations.

Wish they would all become members of the SPJST. Brother Joe Hejny then spoke to the assembly; "We would like to thank the Youth Director, the Youth Club Officers for the wonderful work they are doing and to the children who are participating in the activities, to the officers in the local lodges and to the fathers and mothers who bring these children to perform on these programs."

"I think that this part; working with the youth is the most pleasant part of my duties. At this time we are just getting started. We now have 32 Youth rectors in 27 lodges. As yet, they are not all very active, but they do hold their meetings (once ever so often) and they are all working on some program.

It was hard to formulate a program suitable for all communities," Brother Hejny continued, "for each community has its own particular requirements. We tried to make the Youth Program just as flexable as possible to work out to the satisfaction of local lodge needs."

motive years and what they learn now, will probably stay with them for the rest of their lives. Let's get them on the right track and help them," Brother Ilejny urged. He cited statistics which show that 60 per cent of America's delinquents are youngsters under 18 years of age. "We don't want our children in that kind of group," he emphasized.

Some 92 projects are already either under bid or authorized for future posting by the Government. Life company bids have already been accepted covering 16 new Post Office buildings. Eventually a $2,000,000,000 building program is anticipated, according to a recent announcement by President Eisenhower, involving some 14,500 Post Offices throughout the country.

Under this program, the buildings are financed by the successful bidders and owned by them until full payment has been made by the Government. This usually is under a 10-year term for mailer buildings and up to 25 years for larger ones, after which title reverts to the Government. All maintenance costs and hazard risks and all real estate taxes are covered by the Government.

Tornadoes cover such a small zone as a rule that relatively only a few places in a warned area are directly affected. You should know about tornadoes though "just in case."

FROM OUR DISTRICTS DISTRICT III QUOTA $650,000.00 1958 SELLING LErs GO "BIG GAIN" HUNTING Let each of us get on the right trail to become the "BIG GAIN HUNTER" for 1958.

Load both barrels for increased sales. To be the great white hunter, you must make tracks for the lion's share of the sales.

Our "Big Gain Hunter" will be the orzanizer who produces the most sales in 1958.

Let each of us start right now to make our quota for 1958. To be sure that we make it, we must start now and sell some each month and not wait till the end of the year.

Suggest you start making a prospect list, your friends ,neighbors, Business associates and even your family and I am sure you can find a few prospects either for new insurance or to increase present insurance and most important of all — go — see — them — and — sell — them.

A progress report will be sent out each month to show what progress has been made.

Good Selling for 1958. — A. M. Vrla, District III Organizer. ) •4•( FROM DISTRICT VII. Corpus Christi, Texas.

Lodge 56 Dear Readers: I will write my experience at a District meeting held at Floresville, on April 20, 1958.

The reason for going to Floresville was to go to a SPJST District meeting.

This is a fraternal organization which I have been a member of for 17 years.

This organization was founded in Texas in 1897 by the Czech people. The headquarters are located in the heart of Texas in the city of Temple. This oraamization is only in the State of Texas.

My family and I attend these meetings twice a year. These meetings are for the purpose of learning new facts about fraternalism. Fraternalism means Benevolence, Humanity, and Brotherhood. This fraternity offers a number of fraternal insurance policies suited for toe entire family and through its associated Lodges provide recreational advantages, for its entire membership.

Early Sunday morning my family and I left home at 6:00 o'clock to journey to Floresville. As we neared. Beeville, everyone started to get hungry, so we decided to eat breakfast. Once again we

started on our trip. We also stopped for gas at Falls City.

We arrived in Floresville at 9:15 a. m.

Upon our arrival at the place of the meeting, many people were already there. Many friends greeted us and smiles were on everyones faces. I like to attend these meetings because I get to see old friends and also make new friends.

The meeting was called to order at 10:30 and the Pledge of Allegiance was given by my youngest sister. Than a minute of silence was given in honor of members that have passed away since the last meeting. The roll call was read of all the lodges that were represented. A motion was made and passed that the meeting be held in the Czech language. The officers of the district were all asked to take their places and the meeting continued till noon. The unfinished business was to continue after the Youth Program. Lunch was served by members of the local lodge of Floresville. The lunch consisted of Barbecue beef, salad, beans, and good Czech pastry. The Czech women are noted for their good cooking and baking.

After lunch, plans were being made for the Youth Program. My mother is the program chairman of the district and was busy getting the youths together I helped her with the program arrangement.

At 2:00 o'clock the program began.

The opening number was a song for this occasion, the Song "America", sung by a member of Lodge 56, Corpus Christi, Texas. There were 32 youth members in the program. The youths presented good talent such as: steel guitar, piano accordion, piano, drills, singing and recitations. All youth appearing in the program were awarded three dollars.

The age of the youth ranged froni four to seventeen years of age.

The meeting was called to continue and discuss unfinished business. Mother was elected again to serve as chairman for the district. My grandfather is director of the district. My mother has always been active in fraternal work.

The next meeting will be held in San Antonio, in October at the Mission County Park. I am looking forward for this occasion as I'll get to see my friends.

The meeting closed at 5:00 o'clock no one was in a hurry to leave. All at once I heard some one singing and the sound of piano music I looked around and saw a group gathered around the piano. Everyone was singing Czech

songs. The Czech people are happy people, and they love to sing and dance. at any occasion, there is always much singing and laughter.

Once again it was time to depart for home and part with our friends. This was a day well spent and most enjoyable.

Fraternally yours, Frances Jurica, Sec'y, and Reporter Lodge 56 Youth Club ) • s s (

District Calendar DISTRICT ONE The next Fall Meeting of District I will be held the fourth Sunday in September (the 28th) so please mark your Calendar to reserve this our date.

Thanks, W. Trcalek, President.

• • DISTRICT FOUR The Meeting of District 4 will be held the first Sunday in August (the 3rd) at San Angelo, Texas. Lodge 'I. J. Masaryk of San Angelo, No. 160, will be host' for that occasion. We hope that other Districts will not interfere with our date, as we would like to have a well-attended Meeting. — Best regards, Mrs. Ernest Kristinek, Lubbock, Texas. )• •(

Being An Editor of a Fraternal Paper is a joy too rare to describe.

If we try to write our articles joyful, people think we act silly. — If we don't insert some humor, they say, we are too serious.

If we need news we usually have to ask for it or scout for it ourselves. — If we act as a roving reporter, we are too free with our employer's time and should sit at home more.

If we print too many contributions, from others, we don't write anything ourselves—If we don't we are too selfish.

If we edit the contributor's write ups some or change them to make them readable, we are too critical. — If we don't, we are too lazy to correct them.

If we copy some goad article from oth, er fraternal magazines now and then, we are not original. — If we don't we are stuck on our own "smart stuff."

If some of our critical friends and brothers will now pop up and say, -we copied all this from somewhere else, — We say: "Yes, brother, with some changes, we did!"

Women's Nook West, Texas Dear Girls: Your Editor and I have been traveling these last few weeks attending the various District Meetings in our fraternal family, where Ilve had the pleasure to again see and talk with so many of y ou, personally.

Besides the insurance selling recognition given to each District's organizers for their outstanding achievements at these District Meetings, one can see the impetus with which the Youth Movement is taking over the State, our young active sister Youth Directors are taking over the youth activities in their districts and the friendships that are springing up on every side from the visiting delegations from district to district, as we get to know each other more intimately is heartening. Our good sisters, Bless them, are right in there toe to toe with our brothers striving to make their district hold its place among the rest of our big Texas family. They feed its, hostess us and take care of the sundry little needs of the visitors to the lodge. Each is a good-will ambassador for her lodge and doing a terrific job for her fraternal order.

There are morel and more young folks taking an interest in our proceedings, accepting offices of responsibility to help the fraternal work run forward smoothley, and it is a pleasure to see the awakening and interest all around us in he "big fraternal organization, that our )od Texas Czechs build, for Texans in Texas.

It is also encouraging to see that some or our "old guard" membership, those who have guided this organization so long, -willingly sit back with satisfaction, to let the younger fledglings try their wings at the -helm of the individual lodges, districts (under their protective wings though) to prove themselves to themselves and to the older membership. It can't come overnight, but slowly the reins will be loosened into younger han,ds to lead the way to higher achieveinents in insurance selling and frat-

ITESTNIK — WEST, TEXAS ernalism in this modern, highly conapetitive world.

I did not mean to discuss our fraternal achievements but the new trends in our fraternal lodges are so inspiring that I could not help but mention them along with the beauty of our state, Texas.

One very hand, in town, in city and in country, the Master's hand has been most lavish this year; the colors more glorious and abundant like that of• the rainbow after a gentle summer rain, that one's heart sings out with gladness at being alive to drink all of this beauty in.

Those of you wandering Texans outside of Texas right now, you should see the Lone Star State in bloom! It has been several years that the Bluebonnets and the Indian Paint Brushes and other wild flowers have been so plentiful and so vividly colorful. They are a sight to behold!

The stock tanks dug during the drouth years are brimming full of water, the pastures as fresh green as can be, and while I'm not a fisherman, I do know that the sale of motorboats is booming, so I judge that the fish too are biting.

The several large lakes built in Texas during the drouth years, too, are full of water and a source of delightful recreation. Greetings from Texas in the Spring to all of our roving Texas sons and daughters!

And greetings and best wishes to all of you girls who "keep the honae fires burning" in to home state, to make all of this beauty, harmony and brotherly and sisterly love so evident everywhere one meets you.

My sincerest best wishes for your good health and happiness, I am Fraternally yours, The Editor's Wife ) pro 6 HOUSTON, TEXAS, LODGENO. 88

I just finished reading the delightful. article in the April 9th issue written by the Editor's Wife, and I enjoyed it very much as I also enjoy working in my small garden and flower beds. There is a comical story connected with the seeds I bought this year. The last tlirle we were in Temple, we stopped to visit with my cousin, Frankli'h Martinec, his lovely wife and children, They run a grocery store just on the edge or Seaton and seeing the seeds on display, Fred said to me, "Hon, why don't you buy your seed here and maybe they will grow better." After I made my selection, I got curious about the brand, so I looked at the display and it said in very large print "American Seed Co." Fort Worth, Texas. We all had a good lo ugh.

I'm afraid the Editor's Wife made one mistake in her article and that was to tell all the grandmothers to write about their grandchildren because by now she must have a stack of mail as high as a mountain. I have three grandbabies, David, Kathy and Danny.

Fred and I could talk about them continually — and do! David had a big thrill this week as he attended his first Sokol drill class, He did very well too.

Kathy was too timid to try and Danny is too little.

and are planning some activity for the youth.

I would like to mention how much I enjoyed the last District Meeting held in. Fort Worth, and particularly how much I enjoyed my association with so many of the wonderful youth of the District III Lodges and their leaders who had made the effort to attend. I

feel that everyone, youth and youth leaders, can gain much in get togethers such as was held at the last meeting.

The Youth present at this meeting were v€ry interested in the procedure involved in carrying out a District Meeting and especially were happy to learn of the Special Youth Activity Day be i ng planned for them.

We want to invite all our District III Youth to attend and to participate in this program of events set tentatively for June' 29th, at National Hall in Ennis. Plans include a talent contest, handicraft contest, dance contest, games and entertainment. All family is. invited and urged to attend. Bring your friends, they are always welcome.

Remember, each family is to provide enough food for his group. Activities are scheduled to begin in the morning itnd to last throughout the day.

We are working on plans now for tins-special day and , have received some good suggestions from some of our youth which will be included on the program. We want to work out a good program, one that everyone will enjoy, and with youths' suggestions I think we can be assured of a beter program. If you have any ideas and suggestions please forward them to me. We will be most happy to give every one our consideration.

We shall expect each Lodge Youth

VtSTNiK ..WEST, TEXAS Leader to share the responsibility in planning this day's program. There will be a meeting in the near future of the District Offivers and Youth Leaders to work out the final details.

After we arrived here we received our registration cards. Only a few days ago I learned that we should have reported our address in January. Now we are going to move to another city. Should we report our new address, and if we do, will we get in trouble because we didn't report in January?

ANSWER: The law requires aliens not only to report their address each January but also to report any change of addresse within 10 days of making such change. Failure to do either makes an alien liable to a $200 fine and 30-day imprisonment and also, unless he can show that such failure was reasonably excusable and not willful, to deportation.

Within ten days after you move. you should fill out a change of address card which you can obtain at any gration office or post office. You should not have any difficulty because you did not report in January. Since you arrived here only recently and did not know you had to report and since you will be reporting your change of address. you should have no trouble in convincing the Immigration and Naturalization Service that your failure was not deliberate. ) • 4 • ( The best course to follow in most political conversations is the silent one.

National Board Lists Progress of Fraternals Total membership in fraternal organTornado Precautions izations, unlike lodge attendance, it at This is the beginning of the Tornado Season.

Knowing what to do when a tornado is observed may mean the difference between life and death, says the National Board of Fire Underwriters.

Here are a few suggestions: If you are in open country: 1. Move at right angles to the tornado's path. Tornadoes usually move ahead at about 25 to 40 miles per hour.

2. If there is no time to escape, lie flat in the nearest depression such as a ditch or ravine.

If in a city or town: 1. Seek inside shelter, preferably in a strongly reinforced building. Stay away from windows.

2. In homes: The southwest corner of the basement usually offers the greatest safety, particularly in frame houses.

People in houses without basements should find other shelter, preferably in a storm cellar, atithough a depression, such as a ditch or ravine can offer some protection. If time permits electricity and heating appliances should be shut off. Doors and windows on the north an: east sides of the house may be opened to help reduce damage to the building.

If in schools: 1. In city areas: If school building is of strongly reinforced construction, stay inside, away from windows, remain near an inside wall on the lower floor when possible. Avoid auditoriums and gymnasiums with large, poorly supported roofs.

2. In rural schools that do not have strongly reinforced construction, remove children and teachers to a ravine or ditch if storm shelter is not available.

If in factory or inductrial plant:

an ailtime peak. The National Fraternal Congress of America, which represents 400 societies that write life ,insurance on the lives of their members, reports a membership of 10,682,758. But the congress does not include hundreds of societies which do not offer insurance, among them such huge groups as the Masons, Odd Fellows and Elks, nor many other of a primarily religious, patriotic, civic or social nature.

All told, it is conservatively estimated that fraternal groups of all types have between 30,000,000 and 40,000,000 members. The number of powerful orders have dropped off sharply in size, it is true, and some have given up the ghost entirely. But others have sprung up to replace them and some of the newer societies — including the service clubs — have grown fabulously in recent years.

And since the great majority of members of all groups are solid citizens pledged to mutual aid •and the unselfish service of other people, the amount of good they do every year is inestimable.

During 1956 fraternal organizations paid $167,681,534 in insurance benefits alone, and donated scores of millions to worthy causes of just about every kind.

From coast to coast the country is dotted with magnificent hospitals, orphanages, homes for the aged and other institutions founded and supported by the societies, and their gifts to community betterment medical research and youth welfare programs are just as impressive.

Less tangible but even mare important are the contributions the fraternal bodies are making to national decency, integrity, and idealism. Most of them require adherence to the Golden Rule and loyalty to the flag, and function under highly democratic rules and bylaws which make the lowliest brother a peer of Mister Big. Next to the schools and churches, they probably are doing more to build character and promote true Americanism than any other group of organizations.

On receiving a tornado warning a lookout should be posted to keep safety officials advised of the tornado's approach. Advance preparation should be made for shutting of electricity and fuel lines if the tornado approaches the plant. Employees should be moved to The dramatic achievements of the sections of the plant offering the greatfraternal societies are attributable est protection. ) • 4 • J. largely to the high caliber of their memWe have never been able to figure out bership.

And the fact that these societies, comprised of top citizens are marching steadily forward with innumerable highminded enterprises is one of the most encouraging and heart-warming developments of , these times. Lodge night may not be what it once was, but the fraternal organizations, far from being on their way out, are making themselves more indispensable every year. And it's hard to see how we could get along without them.

Confidence In Salk Vaccine Just three years ago this April the Salk vaccine was officially pronounced safe and effective and licensed for use by the U.S. Government.

Since then, the polio picture in this country has undergone a radical change.

Before the Salk vaccine we struggled with an erratic but mounting series of polio epidemics that reached their peak in 1952 with 57,879 cases. Last year, owing to widespread vaccination, the number dropped to 5,894. By this time it is clear that the Salk vaccine, developed on grants from the National Founda tion for Infantile Paralysis, is one of the triumphant milestones in the history of modern medical science.

What, in the meantime, has happened to vaccination?

The first year it was given mainly to grade school children — some 10 million of them. The second year it was made available to young persons up to 20 and expectant mothers, and some 35 million were injected. Last year a crasii vaccination program directed at all per sons under 40 added 20 million' more, making a total of 65 million.

A big job done in a remarkably short time.

But not good enough. For Basil °Connor, president of the National Roundstion for Infantile Paralysis, warns us that, with 46 million Americans still unvaccinated, we may still have ,polio epidemics next summer.

The answer? There is enough fot everybody now, regardless of age. painless. It's inexpensive. It's effective protection against a lifetime of paralysis. )• ••( The real test for most people comes when green folding paper becomes in-. tvolved.

Jak se v obchode rozneslo, ze jsem hou slista,, prihklsilo se mi nekolik chlapcu, abych je ueil hie na liousle. Platili nri , a take neplatili, zlatku mesiene.

Po svem predchadol uvolil jsem se pre vziti vSecky spolkove funkce.

Stravoval jsem se u riclicich. Platil jsem bez veeeri 9 zl. mesiene.

Na naboSenstivi chodil k nam s poeri.tku peSky kaplan z obce skoro d ye hodiny vzdalene. Pozdeje jezdil k nam na men"Sim koni. Jednou mi konika ptijell. Co on ueil, ja jezdil. KLin snad poznal, nejsem jeho panem, streekoval se mnou tak cllouho, at nine shodil na silnici a utekl pekne domu.

KdyS a savrenYch vrat zarehtal a vra til se bez jezdce, na fake meli obavu, jestli si velebnicck nekde nezrazil vaz. Ko stelnik s hrobnikern pribehli ask nam.

PolakeSovanY, pouSiv kratSi cesty ne2 hi nice, byl zatim utZ donna.

Vicekrat jam na kone nesedl.

Na.S velebnieek ptenaramne Snupal. — 8nupec mu cdrici nebyio matno. iVlarne byly vSecky vYnaluvy, musel a 'nasal jsem si 9nupnouti! ProtoSe u lads bYval dvakrat tYdrie, byly moje kapesniky stale pornalovanY. Pradlo nri prali naS1 donna a posilali mi je poStou. Pii jedne saisilee psala mi maminka: Milt' Filipe:My to nastokrat pozdravuje, libame a na yedomost ti davame, abys nana nepkestaneS-li S'nupati, vice domu neposilal.

cenice zuby, pled kolem, a vyli jako akalove.

Uhanim co mohu. Tu UZI se ke nine chalupnik s kravami, zapraZenSimi do 2e braiku. Zvonim, volam a kynu mu, aby slezl a kravy si pridrZel ale nadarmo.

Jakmile jsem se priblilil k povozu, kra, vy safunely, hlavy i ocasy vzhairu a s Zebririakem do pkikopa.

Sotva jsem ininul povoz, pri glapna. V Silene jizde sly"Sim za sebou praskot vozu a klcni. Ohlednu se. Sebririak piedkern vezi v prikopC. Oj se i s kravami vyhoupla do vYrSe a nemohouc tihu krav tinesti, praskla.

Moje spasa byla v rychlosti. Prijitdim uz na konec vsi. Tam ph silnici byl rybnik a v nern pine hus. Skupina, ktera se patrne tit" vykoupala, usadila se .na silnici a probird si to poll. Kdyt jsem zazvonil, husy hlavy vzhiara, ale ani jedna z nich se nehnula. ObjiSclim je tedy, ph eemS jsem jednu jet. mi do cesty vbe dala do zoufaleho volani, ostatni husy ni, as ptibehla deveeka ze dvora hase s podavkami na pomoc, ale ja jsem byl zatim ut rue.

Va vsi potk.am starou babu, a zvonim.

VytreSlila zrak, udelala tri kri ge a trikrat se pkedemnou vyplivla, jako by pot kala Antikrista.

Tohle vSecko nebylo nic proti tome; co se mi stale na jednom vYlete do EL-. zerskYch hor.

Za krasne pohody se vracim domu.

Potkavam povozy s potravinami, krusna ky s driibeSi, maslarky s nfterni as k zemi ohnute, mlekare se psim potahem, atd. To vSecko speje do gt'astnelio, kvetouciho mesta sklarskeho pramyslu.

Jedu z kopce pa dobre silnici bez namahy a obeas si jeSte priNapnu. Najednou se prede mnou objevi kfitovatka, na nit musim prejet nebezpOnST vodni odhon. Na tak kratkou vzdalenost normalni pritaZeni brzdy v prudke jizde ne staei, kdybych ji utahl vice, pfeletim pies kolo, zbYva mi jedina, mo'Znost, rychle seskoeit, ale to je v prudke jizde rovneZ nebezpeene!

Na gtesti nebo na neatesti zahybaji s druhe silnici proti mne dva kr-0• NCS' kroj byl tmavomodrST sportovni o- nak s kranou a Zena s nfik na zadech. blek, Svetilomodre triko s eervenobilYm Jsou zapredeni v hover a jdou na krok velkYm monogramem na prsou a Moan od sebe. ka• eepieka, na nia slaked sedel rortomi1Y, v emailu provedeny odznak.

Zvonim a kri6im co mohu: "Lidieky, prosim vas, zarazte mne!"

Tenkrat jizda na kole vynucovala si NO, se ti lide z leknuti vzpamatovall velkY• udiv u lick, hrazu a zvirat. VYrostkove ve vsich nas kamenovali, psi se mo a uvedomili si, co od nich Zadam, ua jsem byl mezi nimi. hli vzieknout.

uz tedy neposilam, vymacham si je Ye straw sans, jen nemejte, nlaminko, starest, Se se starlit Sinapakein!

Na tote prohlaSeni mi maminka sasilec pracila zase odpovedela: Milt' Fi KclyS je to velebnY pan, kterY ti dava poctu, tak si jell s Panem Bohem Anupni! kika se, Se pry je to mot dobre pro oei, aspon stare Dlabolce to pomohlo. Ja len nnslila, Filipe, abys ".inapani nezvykl!-Aby neapinil bile kapesniky, koupila jsem ti pal tuctu barevnYch, na nich se uS ten Shapaeck strati. Ale to ti povidam ram jich neper, co by si ve SIole o nas pomyslili. jen je poSli domu, ja je vyperu sama! Pri prani vlastne tvoje sestrieky nejvic reei naclelaly.

Ze swell° sluSiebniho mista mel jsem pranepkileSite spojeni s domovem. Ohronany kus cesty do okresniho mesta a pak poStovnim, starodavnYm dostavnikem.

Byl-li ale uS obsazen a nezbylo-li ani kousek mista u kceiho nebo na stkeSe, znamenalo to uraziti jeSte dobrYch pet hodin peSky. Abych si zjednal pohodhae a rychle spo jeni s demovem, koupil jsem si kolo. Ten krat byla jen kola vysoka. Napred veilke kolo, vzadu male.

VYSkti predniho kola ureovala delka riohou jezdcovYch. Protote jsem byl dlou pan ,kolo pro mne muselo miti velkY primer. Ta radost mne stala 250 zl.

Stovku, kterou jsem dostal pri odch.o du z domova od otce, poloSil jsem jako zavdavek a ostatek uvolil jsem se spiaceti desitkou mesiene.

Jezdit jsem umel, nebot' s Oldou jsme si vypiljeovali drevene kolo od jednoho zameenika, kterY je za mirnY poplatek naen k disposici.

Na celeina okrese byli jsme pled padesati lety jen tri cykliati. Z nas tri nebyl ale nikdo prvni. Pied nami jezdil ua jeden mladY kupec a stud.ujici z techniky.

Prvni si zlomil nohu, drulaSt ruku. Oba sport y' nechali.

Behem roku stoupl poeet . cyklista na "Sestnact. Utvorili jsme klub se sidlem v ok.resnim meste.

Jednou na vYlete projiSdim dicuhou vsi, kterou silnice po cele jeji deice protina. lined na zaeatku vsi vybehl na mne ze dvora pes a neS-li jsem dojel do stredu oboe, byla jich-kolem mne cela smeeka. Skakali na mar , IzIncrivrtli

Pravou rukou chytnu se zoufale nose, levou krugny. Jako bleskem zasaZeni valeli jsme se hned po silnici. Jo, kdyby to bylo jen obyeejne valeni, my jsme se valeli ye vejcich a masle I Kru§na, to se rozumf, byla rozmonto

ye stkedu, dne 30. dubna 1953 Jednoho kohouta jsem zalehl a ne co driabe ge z rozbite kruany se rozuteklo.

Jak jsme vypadali , magete si pomyslit!

Bteati, ze nikdo z nas nebyl zranen. I bolo nebylo poakozeno!

Ta legrace me stala tenkrat moc penez. Proto‘Ze jsem jich tenkrat tolik nemel, piijel jsem domu bez hodinek. Nelitoval jsem jich, nebot' si piilis nadcha zely. Bel-li jsem nekam, byly tarn o nekolik minut &five neg ja, a zastavit jsem se cstYchal.
