One of the fine features is the comradship of groups from many Congress of America cordial In '58 Life Policy nationalistic, religious and trade origins.

This is indeed a shinning example The National Fraternal Congress was of America at its best.

Claims founded in 1886. It would be difficult FROM

Motor vehicle fatalities in the first quarter of this year resulted in 11,000 life insurance death claims for an aggregate of $28,000,000 the Institute of Life Insurance reports.

While the number of claims is about the same as a year ago, the dollar amount is $2,000,000 larger and is at a rate which indicates a possible annual toll this year of over $120,000,000. That would be about $10,000,000 more than 1957 and $45,000,000 more than five years ago. ) • 4, • (

$1.3 Billion of New Capital From Life Policy Funds New capital funds becoming available for the economy from life insurnace policy assets in the first quarter of 1958 totaled $1,342,000,000 according to the Institute of Life Insurance. This was $112,000,000 or 9 per cent more than in the corresponding period of 1957. Total assets of the country's nearly 1,300 life companies. on March 31 were $102,385,000 000, Adding to the asset increase the funds made available for reinvestment by maturities, refundings, prepayments and 74.11-over of short term securities, total new investments in the first quarter Were $4,050,000,000, a decline of $195,000,000 from a year ago. This decline, in the face of an increase in new capital funds, indicates a reduced rate of turnover of investments.

The largest block of new investments this year was corporate securities, which accounted for $1,447,000,000, up $41,000, 000 from a year ago. Holdings of this type were $44,434,000,000 on March 31.

to overestimate its importance in the development of fraternalism during those 72 years. It has been the solidifying and uniting factor. Its accomplishments have been many and varied. It has been the watchword for the protection of the system whenever needed. The NFC has been the medium for mutual assistance and education where the benefits from new methods and plans have been shared. Its ten sections have specialized on the development affecting presidents, secretaries, medical directors, attorneys, investment officers, official journals, actuaries, state congresses, field managers and junior departments.

It was evident in the reports of officers and committees that the coming season will be an exacting one. Unity of purpose in the work will be an essential.

That is where the National Fraternal Congress, its ten Sections and the various State Fraternal Congress fit into the picture for the welfare and protection of the entire fraternal benefit system. ) • 4. • (

Proper budgeting of today's dollars to meet tomorrow's needs is the foundation of nT,odern American living. Sensible planning for the future is backed by planned savings, with life insurance constantly assuming a more prominent role as the soundest, most flexible method.

The most undesirable mature of such a plan is its inherent inflexibility: No statute could be so worded as to pay cognizance to the infinite 'yariety of family situations and to all the peculiar characteristics of the individual members.

Of necessity, every situation must be treated the some. Despite the many nperfections of the statutory division of property, a surprising number of property owners die each year without leaving wills.

In many cases, the result is an unnecessary loss of shrinkage of assets, inadequate security for dependents and numerous .other disadvantages.

Whether your estate is large or small, a will, carefully considered and properly executed, will create a particular, tailormade plan for the distribution of your property, effect numerous economies and help produce the maximum of security for your family. e 40 (

Please plan your program, get your local newspaper to ' publish the article that appeared in the Vestnik for you, in order to inform the public of how the Fraternalists are helping to build and maintain your community to be a better one.

Thanking you and wishing you a lot of success, I remain Fraternally yours, JOE B. HEJNY

So much is said about high school students as engaged in training for future citizenship activities that I should like to start out by emphasizing that you students already have a significant part in public affairs. Teen-agers are making constructive contributions in community affairs and on other domestic problems, but our topic is the role of high school students in our foreign relations.

Every one of you, for example, is helping to pay for our foreign policy; and foreign policy costs a great deal more today than it did when your parents *ere in high school. Whenever you take your earnings from .babysitting or helping out at the gas station and purchase a lipstick, or a handbag, or a movie ticket, your payment of the Federal tax becomes a direct contribution to the funds required to maintain our national defense against the possibility of outside attack. Part of your tax money goes to maintain our mutual security program, which sends military materials to countries which have undertaken to defend themselves against Communist attack and which also assists other countries in securing their independence through develop:I-lent of their economic structure and the acquisition of technical knowledge.

All together, the Nation's high school students make a substantial contribution to these important defense and security programs; and you are entitled to feel that you participate directly in the maintenance of our country's basic foreign policies. If the money were not appropriated, and the taxes paid by the people, our foreign policy would thereby be changed; and our prospects for national survival would also be changed.

The boys of course, make an even more personal contribution to our foreign policy. In many high schools, large numbers are already engaged in military training; and all of you know that after graduation you become liable for active duty under the selective service law. It was only a few years ago that boys who attended high school were carrying out their country's foreign policies on the firing line in Korea. Had they not participated. in this successful effort to throw back the Communist aggressor, the world would surely be a very different place today.

Turning to an entirely different phase of our foreign relations, we see high

Strang, 1? school students engaged in internat. tonal trade. As purchasers of consumers of goods produced in foreign countries, you are direct participants in your country's foreign trade. If the high school students of Amerca were to decide to buy no foreign goods, or no goods Produced in some particular country, this would have a serious impact on our relations with other countries and on our ;mutual security program.

In yet another field, many high school students of America have been involved in the various exchange programs which have been developed in the years since the war. The way in which American teen-agers have received both teachers and students from other countries is bound to have a great-impact on the way in which the people in other countries look upon us as a nation. Are we Americans trustworthy and cooperative, or are we greedy and war-minded? Many persons from other countries will judge us as a nation largely through their experiences with American high school students.

Our National Flag Day ago — so legend tells us — a man named Orpheus played such beautiful music on his lyre that rivers stood still to listen and trees and rocks moved nearer.

derful lyre, so they carried it up to heaven and made it a new constellation: Lyra, sign of harmony .

In 1777, a little group of men sat at a table trying to reach a decision. The 13 American colonies were fighting to win their freedom and the new nation needed a flag.

But the flag committee was having trouble. Each of the 13 new states had its own flag; each thought its own the best. They could not agree on one flag that would symbolize the nation as a whole.

The one that came closest was a flag that some of the American soldiers were carrying. It had 13 red and white stripes, and in the upper left-hand corner, the Union Jack. But the Union Jack was the flag of England, the very country they were fighting. What should they put in its place?

And then one of the committee members remembered the legend of Lyra, the constellation of harmony, and made a sketch of some white stars against a deep blue background.

On June 14, 1777, the Congress of the United States, meeting in Philadelphia resolved: "That the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be 13 stars, white in a blue ld, representing a new constellation rising in the West. et, 0 ) m

HOUSTON, TEXAS Dear Brother Hosek, I am enclosing a picture of the Youth Directors of Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88, to be in our next Vestnik.

From left to right: Sisters Maxine Sefcik, Della Kadlecek, and Estelle Kelly.

Many thanks and good luck to you, and your wife.

Fraternally yours, DELLA. KADLECEK ESTELLE KELLY MAXINE SEFCIK )• ♦( NUMBER 15 SPJST Buckholts, Texas Dear Members, As you may know, we are in the midst ;3f a sandwich selling campaign at our Lodge Hall. It was discussed in the business session of our April meeting, Sister Kathleen Za.jicek was appointed to serve as chairman of that committee.

She has not only accepted the appointment, but has discharged her duties faithfully and enthusiastically.

For the benefit of those, who for various reasons have not had an opportunity to follow our proceedings, this is to explain, that two lodge families at a time are asked to each contribute sandwiches from two loaves of bread for every dance.

A lofge family is considered such where, there is one or more members in the adult department. Where it is not convenient for a family to contribute sandwiches, then it asked for a cash donation of $3.00 which is the minimum sole value of the sandwiches. So far, Sister Zajicek has been calling on local families for their contribution, but at an opportune time, she will call on families in Cameron, Temple, Belton, etc.

Sister Zajicek informs me, that as of this time, the following families have been asked to and have contributed sandwiches: Henry Stalmach, Anton Sve tlik, Joe Zajicek, Edward Posival, Alvin Stalmach, John Zajicek, John Burtis, Obie Hoss and Sister Mary Krause. Sister Zajleck has asked me to express her

Wednesday, June 4, 1958 appreciation to all of of you for the courteous and willing response you have given her since she is serving on this committee. It is gratifiyng to me, as well as to Sister Zajicek, when so many ladies either send word or contact us personally with offers to do their share.

It shows that they realize that we will all have to work long and hard before our lodge is cleared of the debt incurred by the new hall roof. However, with determination and good will even that obstacle can be surmounted.

The lodge families who reside scattered over various parts of the state, and out of state as well, are welcome to add their donation to their dues and remit both to Sister Svolaocla.

The Hall Management will sponsor a picnic on Sunday, June 8, where our lodge will have two concessions — food and bingo. Sister Kathleen Zajicek will be in charge of the food and I will be in charge of the bingo. Since this picnic was announced upon such a short notice, there was no time to get properly organized, therefore, no one is asked to contribute anything and the lodge will purchase all supplies outright.

We will need helpers though, but we know you will not fail us.

We sincerely hope that our friends here and elsewhere will remember to attend our picnic. May we count on you? For further details see the calendar elsewhere in this paper.

In writing this report, I am really pinch hitting for Brother Raymond Zajicek who has just had the misfortune to be, not so gently tapped on the finger with a sledge hammer. Barring further incidents he promises to keep you informed of our future activities.

Fraternally yours, Hilda Brtis, Sec'y Editor's Note: Thanks for the encouraging letter. Seems like your Lodge is on the forward road, so good luck to a bright future! Sorry to hear about Brother Zajicek.

—) e A, LODGE KAREL JONAS NO. 28 East Bernard, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: This is to inform all of our members, that we will hold our regular meeting the second. Sunday, June 8 at 8 o'clock. Try to be present, and let's make it a successful meeting.

I guess all the ladies are busy canning stuff like I am. I am busy canning, but if it don't rain pretty soon, there won't be much canning this year.

The garden sure need rain. We had a little shower last night, but it wasn't much. We sure have some hot weather these last few days, but summer is here.

Wednesday, ;rune 4, 1.955 irrigation is now in use around this Area. The crops look very nice.

Don't forget the date, our next meeting will be held next Sunday, June the 8th. Best of luck t o you all.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Annie Fojtik ) • West, Texas Dear Girls: Friday was Memorial Day. We remembered oar loved ones who have left our fold. Loving memories are ours, eternal peace, theirs.

I was one of the many thousand viewers who watched the two sons in flag draped coffins being brough HOME to "lie in state" and then placed on our country's sacred and beautiful resting place, Arlington Cemetery.

One of these sons was returned home from the Korean War Theatre, while the other was returned from the European World War II or Pacific Theatre of War, the report was not definite there, to be laid at last in the 'soil of their country, whose principles they defended with their young lives. Next to the World War I. Unknown Soldier.

As I watched the long lines of young men in parade dress, the honor guard, in slow and solemn cadence board the battleship containing these two coffins, the reverence with which the coffins were handled, I thought of my many sisters in this Christian America, whose sons did not return, my sisters whose hearts were crying with every marked step the bearers made, and I cried with them. I visioned these soldiers as boys, like my little boys, my neighbors little boys, who once perhaps "roughhousedi" with these very buddies who so gently bore their coffins to their final resting place and I wondered why this all to be. Why, if our civilization is truly as intelligent and Christian as we say it is, must we have misunderstandings among men and nations to the point of combat! I am sure that many of you have had these very same thoughts many times, too.

V'STNfT — WEST, TEXAS

this all will lead us to, if we cannot' keep harmony in, our own small, circle, what can we expect on a grander scale.

If we are truly "the hand that rocks the cradle," our influence must surely leave its mark on our manhood! What have we done wrong! Perhaps we have love them too much to see their faults, or not enough! What can we do to pull out of theis petty bickering, snarling, criticism, this 'sic em" at each other?

We've heard the reference all of our lives that from acorns giant oaks grow, so to be sturdy as oaks, we must Start in our own lives, in our lodges g.nd brotherhood to grow, so that like shock wave it will rebound to higher levels. We must find that fortitude, strength and courage that our pioneer Czech women found when they first lame to this discouraging and raw and of Texas, where they held their families together fast, in love and D'hristian teachings to their hearths, where their men found love, peace and strength to combat the tempests of the outside world.

Since we women are destined to give so many years of our lives for our families, let us begin to reevaluate ourselves in terms of a more dedicated family life. We were destined for these roles. let's not sell them short!

We need to have family participation of activities. Bring your children with you to your Halls, your lodge meetings along with that platter of doughnuts or kolaches, where coffee will be brewed, orangeade for the youngsters in paper cups to eliminate dishes and let's sing the treasured Czech songs of our youth (the youngsters will pick up the words), let's laugh for laughter is like an ointment for a tired and troubled soul, and let's make each meeting a plaesant afternoon of business and visiting. It matters not how many or few of you there are, but it does matter as to quality. Let's have a story telling session for the children. Let's tell the children how the boys and girls of Czechoslovakia lived. Remember, they have never been to that country, and they have no conception of living without cars, TV's and radios, The Lone Ranger, or baseball.

Strana 20 and our gardens have perked up after it, though east of West, Texas, there was some hail damage, so that cotton will have to be replanted. There was al; n same wind damage to buildings, so it seems that the benfits of the 'elinents are not evenly distributed, for while one section is benefited another section of Texas suffers, from excess of the elements .

I hope you too, are getting lots of pleasure out of your gardens and that with the warm, sunny days, you are, and your families are having many, many moments in the sun. For the grandmothers in our midst, it is a blessing too, for those rheumatic joints are free of pain now.

Rep orts' From Local Lodges TRANSLATION OF BROTHER BECAN'S LETTER — LODGE 154, Ft. WORTH Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Bro. Editor: I am writting a short letter today to fulfill my promise to our lodge sister reporters, and to again contribute something to our Vestnik after so long an absence; to fulfill my promise long ago to our editor, but first, I had to get my injured fingers healed. In fact, I have had to learn to write all over again. It has been two years, consequently, since I last wrote to our Vestnik.

It is a fine thing for any lodge to have reporters who attend all of the lodge meetings and regularly submit the news of their lodge activities as do some of our sister lodges like lodges : Dallas, Waco, West, and many others, for these reports are very beneficial to lodge activities and progress. But, even the lodge officers, especially the lodge secretary, should write into our Vestnik, more often, for they are in an excellent position to better know the functioning or mal-functioning of their respective lodges and their reports might be of sonic value to other lodges in our fraternal family.

What prompted me primarily to write this letter, however, is the wish that all of our many new sister and brother members, of which there are so many, that our lodge organizers sign up, to invite them to attend our next meeting which will be held on June 8th, so we can personally meet them all.

It will be our pleasure to make your acquaintance and personally welcome you into our brotherhood. You will be individually invited to attend this June meeting, and for those of you who have not been to your lodge meeting in a long time, come, one and all, and let's get acquainted with all of these new members! Help your lodge, to more active future and if there is something in our lodge that does not meet with your approval, attend your lodge sheeting where you can present your views and recommendations for corrections of some .

Please remember that you belong to a Fraternal Order, not just an Insurance Company!

I am in this fraternal lodge work since 1911, which is quite a long time and there is none the less of me because of it. I have had many wonderful experiences in this work during this time. My only regret is seeing member non-participation.

An estimated 6 milion people around the world will share the tools to help themselves through projected CARE distributions of economic, educational and health equipment and supplies during 1958.

That estimate is based upon a minimum of $2,000,000 the international aid agency is asking the public to contribute for CARE's Self-Help Program this year.

The funds will provide the material for direct training and use to needy indivi duals, institutions and communities in 23 areas of Asia, Europe, La tin America and the Middle East, as gifts from the American people.

These Self-Help distributions• will supplement CARE's vast food relief programs, which are now helping to feed an average of 11 million people every day.

"Tools," in the agency's concept, cover every conceivable type of supply from agricultural and vocational implements to bullocks and books, medicines and sewing machines. Specific items to be provided, through some 50 types of CARE packages plus special purchases, are based upon priority requests sent to the New York headquarters by its representatives stationed abroad.

In announcing the blueprint for $2,000, 000 worth of Self-Help assistance, Richard W. Reuter, executive director, emphasized that CARE is prepared to do a far larger job in this field, if the public makes it possible.

"With 60 per cent of the world's pop ulation still underfed, food relief must continue to claim the major part of funds donated to CARE," Mr. Reuter said. "But we believe the American people share our concern for the simultaneous, deeper need to prevent hunger and privation in the future.

"The tools for self-improvement are so scarce in tvery underdeveloped country that projects totaling much more than $2,000,000 have been approved for aid and are awaiting action. We have the buying, shipping and distribution facilities to handle millions more in supplies. Every dollar donated for Self-Help sets in motion the chain reaction that brings people, by their own efforts, to a higher level of productivity, health and social development, so they will no

Wednesday .Tune 4, 1058 longer need relief."

On the 1958 minimum target, supplies totalling $934,000 are slated for Asia, including Ceylon, Hong Kong, India, Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Macau, Vietnam; $434,000 for European areas —Greece, Italy, Malta, Poland, West Germany and Berlin, Yugoslavia; $282,000 for Latin America, including Bolivia, Columbia, Honduras, Mexico, Panama; $270,000 for the Middle East — Egypt, Gaza, Israel, Libya. The balance of $80,000 is retained for emergency Self-Help in the event of disasters.

The proportion of aid allocated for each area ranges from $20,000 to $200,000 based upon such factors as the urgency of need among the groups seeking help and the existence of adequate supervision to assure full use of the CARE supplies. Distribution plans range from the provision of $1 and $2 school kits for destitute children to village-aid projects totalling as much as $25,000.

Contributions in any amount may be sent to Care Self-Help, 660 First . Avenue, New 'York 16, New York or any local office of the agency. )• •( ABOUT CITIZENSHIP QUESTION: I was born of an American citizen father and an alien mother.

I am now 18 years old and have come to the United States since under the law I have to reside in the United States at least five years to preserve my citizenship. My parents are still abroad. I would like to visit them but have been told that I must be continuously physically present in the United States for the five year period. Will that make it impossible for me to visit my parents?

Answer: The law of September 11, 1957 contains a provision that absence from the United States for a total of less than 12 months during the five-year period you mention, will not break the continuity of your required physical presence in the United States, You can, therefore visit your parents, but you must be careful that the total time you spend out of the country does not run over 12 months during the five years.

"That," Wilde ' replied blandly, "will depend entirely on your family's table manners."

Building A Home When you are ready to build, you will find that the law helps in many ways to make your home enjoyable and secure.

Have you decided on the type house you want and the amount you want to spend. If so, then let's go into details: 1. Your lot: Junior's school or your church may be nearby, but find out. (a) Whether they are planning to run a highway through the area or nearby, or make any improvements for which you can be assessed. (b) What "covenants" or restrictions run with the land? To protect residents, the plats or basic deeds of some neighborhoods call on you to build a certain size or type of house. Do you want to and can you afford to? (e) Easements. Either you or your neighbors may need to run pipes, or string wires over each other's land or to share a driveway. Have the abstract checked carefully to disclose any easements.

2. Zoning Ordinances: For your protection the local government frequently zones some areas, for example, for single houses only, for multiple dwellings; for retail stores, for manufacturing, etc.

Unless the local governing body changes its zoning ordinance, no filling station, for instance, can go up next to you in a residential are. Neither, could you turn your home into a store. In any case, you should find out what your neighborhood zoning rules are.

3. Building Codes: Be certain that the plans and construction will meet the requirements of the local building code as to size, location and structure. Municipal ordinances usually impose strict standards for the building, the plumbing and the electrical wiring. In many cases only licensed building tradesmen are permitted to make the installations.

4. Financing: Financing contracts protect both you and the lender. Unless you pay cash, you will use credit to pay for your home, most likely a deed of trust or a land contract. Your instruments often include principal, interest, insurance and taxes. Under a land contract the lender holds title to your house until you pay for it. If you fall behind, the holder can take the house back. With a deed of trust, the lender has a lien which he can foreclose if you default. You may get some of your money back on the principal; but you may also have to make up any loss the lender makes in reselling the house.

Well worked-out contracts can help make your dreairra house come true. A

Ve stfedu, dne 4. e'ervna. 1958 WHAT HAPPENS — IF? In this unpredictable life of ours, it is the law's business to take a long look into the future and say what would happen if.

For in your contracts, leases, wills, insurance policies, escrows, and the like, you had better say what would "happen if" some of your best laid plans go awry.

Such events the law calls "contingencies."

Who gets the "earnest maney" you put down, if you cannot go through with buying that house? What if you want to pay up that loan and save interest?

What happens if a partnership goes sour, or a partner gets sick or dies?

What happens if the people you name in your will should die before you do, or. if you all perish in a common cathostrophe like a car smashup?

The law is wise but it cannot do your thinking for you. It settles such questions — but not always to your liking.

If you don't make a will, the law says who shall get your property. If you leave certain things out of a contract, the lav4 assumes that you meant to put some certain things in. But how much better it would be in the first place to put them in the way you want them, by asking "what if?"

Take your will now: Your first desire, of course, is to take care of your wife and children — those nearest to you But it won't hurt anything to pat "contingent beneficiaries" in your will in case something happens to thwart your first intentions.

Review your will every year or so to see if it meets the new things that have came up, or arrange with your lawyer to write in "contingent beneficiaries" — those who will receive your property if your first beneficiaries should die before you do.

You may long ago have had your son provided for in your will, but what about those lovely grandchildren he and his wife have presented to you since you wrote the will? What would happen to them if things go wrong and your son should die before you?

Or take your widowed sister and her children now. Suppose you and your immediate family should be wiped out: Would you want your property to go equally to her and to your well-healed bachelor brother? Or would you prefer to leave your brother some token of your affection; and then really take care of your sister?

You may be impatient with the law's long memory. Such things never happen you think, but the court records are full of plans which failed. And so the law has ways in which you can provide for "what happens * if."
