0 NAVSTEVE DOMOVA ODPOCINKU Minuly tYden po vydani eisla Vestniku koneene rozhodl jsem se, ze uposlechnu vyzvani bratra Troubila, spravce dbmova abych ittulnu v Taylor nav g tivil. Choval jsem jiZ delg i eas umysl pohovotiti si soukromne s nag imi hostmi a ptesvecleiti se o pokroku docilenem.

By! jsem ji2 v riiznSr ch mistech elenst vem o to poladan, abych podal zpravu o svYch dojmech ye Vestniku a tak se dnes domnivam, ze bude moci sve tazatele timto uspokojit. — Sestry a bratii, v rote 1940 jsem psal o zrizeni nejakeho domova pro na ge stare eleny a i v posledni dobe jsem horoval slovem i skutkem podporoval, abychom tomu nagemu bratrstvi .dali nejakV MySr vSTraz.— Stalo se koneene ptieinenim na geho sjez du v Temple a s pomoci mnohYch Aterwiych a obetavYch bratrii a na gich sester, 2e krasnSr tento Domov byt ztizen a vybaven. Mnoho je gte je , zapotteby aby domov byl sobestaenSr. Na ge Jednota tento Domov nemitZe ze svS7ch fondit budoucne vydrZovat. My v gichni dohromady ale milZeme mnoho pomoci, svoji ptimluvou, svStrn odporudenim, aby se ten Domov Odpoeirtku zapinil a tak se podal sam vyplacet. — Oznamujme ten to podnik kdykoliv se nam ptilelitost naskytne.

Je nutne zapotteby abychom se o tuto zapoeatou dobrou vec jed.enkalclY zajimali ,domov navgtivili a tak sami osobne seznali, zda nagi podpory a odporueeni jest hoden.

Sestry a bratti jest to krasne dilo vette a maw bez nadsazovani poctive Vam vem rici, ze jsem touto nav gtevou byl velice potegen. Obrazek na geho Domova by mel bVti v kaZde Ceske domacnosti v Texasu. — MaZerne bS7ti net hrdi.

Chvalou pouhou bez prieineni ale se ten doomv nezapini. Oznamujme dobrou vec, nikde jinde v ptibliine pohodlnern "Rest Home" pod $125 mesiene nelze dues csobu umistniti. Ptesvedete se o torn.

Ten nag Domov Odpoeinku, polohou, u mistnenim z venku a uvnitr jest prvottidnim, neelne planovan i pohodlnim pro sve chovance i pro personal. — Kam pohlednete v gude &stip, vzcrrnY potadek tarn panuje.

Presvecleili jsme se o tom pti kterou jsme se funysLue sucastnili. Vge bylo eiste jidlo dobre a hlavne teple, kava vVborna, kdo si ji pial a mohl si o pi-idavek poladat. Meli jsme s toho v geho uptimnou radost a cestou domu jsem Zene pravil, ze to takoveho Domova bych jasave gel.

Nemam ptiainy nekomu pochiebovat, nikdy jsem tak v minulosti neeinil a nochci ani nyni tak zaeit ale sonde s nerugerkeho hovoru s kaidYm jednotliv-int chovancem muiskYm a ma lena zas s sestramy jsem usoudil, ze jsou tam v§ici spokojene.

"Jsme to jak jedna velka rodina," pravil jeden bratr ktereho znam jii 40 let, a velice na,s to pote gilo. — Byl jsem unaven ale veselo se nam to po zaZitkach domu do West jelo a mame v se zas ptilditostne tarn podivat.

Jednou velikou zmenu vYbor odporneuje: a sice, zru geni nemocenske podpory, ktera byla chlou bou nakho kadu hezkou tadu. let. VYbar onu zmenu odavodriuje tim, be by jsme ziskali mnohem vice novYch elenu kdyby jsme nekolektovali na nemocenskou podporu.

Kdyb ta bYvala nemocenska, podpora bude zrUgena, bude to neptijelmie pro ty ses. a bratry kteki na podporu platili, zdravieko jim sloubilo o podporu nebadali a aadnou nedostali.

Ovsem,zeradovy pkijem bu de hrati v torn bonusu hlavni alohu.

Jestli to nemocenske podpora bude zrukna, pak ti, kteki maji zapraverie ce loroeni poplatky, maji na onu podporu naroky az jim poplatky dojdou.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK of four farm families now own life in- as mortgage, partnership and estate programs and family need for immediate Our Farmers Invest- surance protection.

Total farm debt, mortgage and non- funds are reasons given by the Institute real estate combined, was estimated at for the large volume of lump sum pay ment in Life Insurance just under $20 billions at the beginning ments.

The worth of the nation's agricultural establishment, as measured by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's valuation of the farm plant plus farmers' nonreal estate assets, has gone up steadily with only transient interruptions for nearly two decades and is now heading for the $200 billion level.

Highlights of the trend are that total farm assets have increased almost three and one-half times in the period since 1840 while aggregate debt has only doubled. This gives an insight into the extent that agriculture has participated in the growth of the economy in the period. Government financial assistance to agriculture, which goes back many years, has been, since 1954, at a new high of about $41/2 billion or more a year.

Data compiled by the Department of Agriculture estimate the total of farmers' assets at more than $186 billion_s in the early part of this year. This figure represented a gain of about $9 billions over the year before. The rise contrasted with the fact that farm assets declined in the two previous post-War II recessions, those of 1949 and 1953-54.

Over 60 per cent of the worth of the agricultural establishment is in land and buildings, valued at more than $116 billions as of March 1 this year. The comparable figure in 1940 was only $33.6 billions. Much of the $82 billion gain in valuation of the farm plant in the 194058 period is, of course, a by-product of inflation and the fact that the dollar has lost more than half its buying power in the period.

However, other assets of farmers have likewise grown greatly. Non-real estate assets, consisting of inventories, machinery and houshold possessions, have gone up from just over $15 billions in 1940 to an estimated $51 1/2 billions at the beginning of this year. The rise in financial assets in the period has been from $4.2 billions to nearly $19 billions.

In line with this imporvment, three out

Our Trip To The Rest Home

V2STNiX WEST, TEXAS

I cannot recall because I didn't write them down, I'll try to do better next time. Anyway, the hen party was fun.

We invaded the kitchen to meet Mrs. Maivar who supervises the meals. Mrs. Cervenka and Mrs. Reznicek who assist the residents were needed. Just as we neared the door the registered nurse drove up to make her routine daily call.

She is Czech too, a Mrs. Shamard.

Br. Danek escorted us to the door to point out his handicraft. He's a carpenter by trade and he made two long wooden benches outside under the portecochere for the residents to sit on to en-. joy the evening breeze and enjoy the profusion of lovely flowers which sister and brother Troubil had planted about the home, The brothers who went up to the car with us reiterated Mrs. Cervenka's remark that they were like one big family.

They had all stated that they were quite happy, thankful for the peace and quiet, the sanitary and comfortable surroundings, the excellent care and good fare.

To Brother and sister Troubil goes our best wishes for continued growth and success in the Rest Home. To the ladies and gentlemen our best wishes for continued health and contentment.

We arrived after sundown in West, happy that we had gone to Taylor. We had a fine time, a nice gabfest which we must repeat real soon. ) • 4 • (

From time ti time some good Czech soul drops into the printing office of the Vestnik to leave some reading matter for the SPJST Rest Home to be taken to Taylor by someone who goes that way.

Not remembering who contributed what, the Editor and wife took the collection to Taylor after the last issue of the Vestnik was behind them. This was our first opportunity to visit the Home since Brother and Sister Troubil took over the management, and since the dedication ceremonies at which time the milling about of the crowd made conservation impossible. We wanted to find out how the SPJST Rest Home project was progressing from the resident's point of view. Did they still like it like they said they did during the dedication? Were they happy? Were they well treated, etc.?

Arriving at mid-afternoon, we found the men resting in the reading lounge leisurely smoking, resting in low and comfortable conversation. The ladies had retired to their rooms.

We shook hands with the gentlemen Brother Wolf and Brother Leshikar introducing us to chipper Dr. Beck who told us of his 30-year dental practice in the city of Taylor. He told us that he enjoyed the quiet and peace of the Home, the excellent care and good meals saying it was all anyone could wish for.

Fiftieth Anniversar y of Sokol Karel Havlicek Borovskv Sokol Karel Borovsky of Ennis, Texas held a two-day competitive games and public Slet celebration at the Ennis Sokol Hall on Saturday and Sunday, July 26th and 27th.

Texas units represented from Dallas, Houston, Ennis, Fort Worth and Corpus Christi participated in these games and exhibitions. Individual medals were awarded to the various age group divisions and loving cup trophies were awarded to group participation, who like champions bring home the spoils of their endeavors on the field of athletics to add to trophies already won by champions of yesteryear.

While competitive games include the broad jump, high pumps, pole vault, discus throwing, and the prescribed feats on the apparatus like the parallel bars, horizontal bar, horse, balancing beam, swinging rings and possibly rope climbing for which the individuals as well as the group unit is judged, the public exhibition presents the gathering only with the free calesthenics on such apparatus where the individual can display his personal skill and aggility. The newest item of equipment is the trampoline which has won the hearts of young and old. Equally effective was the combined drill of the under-twelve age group of boys and girls each performing a separate set of drills to blend to the music. The men and women had a like drill of beauty only more complieated to symbolize manly vigor and womanly grace, set to music.

An especially striking choreographic number presented by eight lovely girls of Fort Worth Sokol Unit is worthy of special mention for their precision as well as grace of performance.

The DAC (Dallas Athletic Club) unit which has for many years worked out with the Dallas Sokol boys and girls and vice-versa, gave us a breathtaking performance on the trampoline, showing its possibilities; -bouncing, tumbling forward and backward and tumbling with half-twists in a jumping rope on the "tramp" through hoops, bouncing off of their faces, etc., to the thrilling enjoyment of everyone. The two girls and boy in this team won much ovation from their agility and grace.

Two rings of boys and girls in costume presented the colorful Beseda, The

VP,S1'NIK WEST, Tamkg Ennis Sokol Unit is especially 'fortunate in having, so many of its Charter Members still living whose families and grand families and great-grand-families are still active in the Sokol work.

The motto: "Where there is a healthy body, there is a healthy mind," :manifested itself in its beautiful young people who perform in the hot Texas sunshine to show those who follow the Sokol work, the progress that has taken place since the last big exhibition. The 'improvements in techniques, drills and pparatus skills are astonishing.

A special salute goes to the men and women who for the past 20 and 30 years have remained in the active gymnastic classes. They fill one's heart with admiration and love for them for their faithfulness. To us, they are just as young and wonderful as the day they first stepped into the Sokol gym class.

No need to mention names; they are known. Bless them!

When the smallest group performed on the field in the calesthenic drill, it drew the wee ones from the side lines like a magnet onto the field. They too. had to try what these children were doing. Yes, the interest was there, It should behoove every parent to enroll their youngsters into the Sokol classes where there is a Sokol unit available, for the Sokol is non-partisan to wealth, politics or religion, a strictly physical culture and physical educational organization of non-profit structure.

The Texas Sokol Units are planning to participate in next year's gameS in the State of California and are beginning now to perfect themselves so that. they can carry away their share of the trophies.

Brother Joe Vytopil, President of the Ennis Sokol unit, introduced the visiting Sokol dignitaries. Introducing the President of the Texas Union Brother Ben Pravratil of Dallas who congratulated the Ennis Unit on its 50 years of existence and wished for them another 50 years for fruitful, joyful work and brotherhood.

Brother Prevratil admonished us to preserve our Czech language; saying that we were getting away from it. He quoted America's leaders in stressing more foreign languages for our future America. "Let's perpetuate our Czech language in our homes, churches and lodges," Brother Prevratil said.

Brother Vytopil then introduced Bro. Joe Kos, of Houston, honorary state gymnastic leader (known as nacelnik) and Brother Karel Prchal, president of the American Sokol Union with head quarters in Chicago: as well as President

ue. .6, 1958: of Sokol Chicago; and also President of The Free World Sokol Organization

which organization represents Sokols the world over. Brother Prchal is also Honorary member of the Southern Union of. which Texas is a part. There was also a guest gymnastic leader from the sister Pacific Union, J. Pokorny, who was busy supervising the groups as they prepared to go into the field with their numbers. Welcome to Texas, Brother Pokorny.

All of the officials present from the Slavonic Order of the State of Texas were presented to• the audience, and thanked for the individual as well as that of their Order for the loyal moral support and financial assistance from time to time.

Br. Prchal brought greetings from the Sokol Headquarters in Chicago. with best wishes for a successful 50th Anniversary observance, with many happy returns in this brotherhood. He complimented the members who have remained loyal in this work in the past 50 years; he remembered the "Old Country" which is now under the Communistic thumb, saying the land and what it stands for is still there and. close to the hearts of the Czech people. The Sokol movement had its founding in Czechoslovakia over a century ago, to spread like a wild fire among the youth of other nations of the, world as an organization, of physical culture development and nationalism. "What I regard as priceless, is our brotherhood," stated Brother Prchal in Czech, "I know that we can build to the future in this brotherhood and I and sure that this Sokol Unit in Ennis will survive."

The Charter Members were presented only for recognition, Brothers F. Chudej, Chas. Moucka, Fr. Petr, Chas. Sosolii L. 0. Hosek and B. Zazvorka, for the program was about to get underway.

A closed circuit television camera was taking the performance on the Sokol grounds to transmit same into the two television sets placed on the stage in the Hall where one could view the performance at ease in the cool of the Hall.

The Ennis Sokol had set lip two huge tent tops for the audience to sit under and the breeze coming in from the open country kept the temperature pleasant.

The good Ennis sisters were hard at work in the kitchen preparing the meal for the guests after the exhibition program. These good sisters are past masters at hosting huge crowds of folks; they know how to make visiting youngsters have a good time, to keep them from harm, feed them, love them, send them back home with a good tan and high hopes of corning back to Ennis

V,fe5n.es.day,--Angust real soon: How inany such children now grown old have passed these Sokol portals in those years, all looking back at those wonderful times, bless all of you.

The Sokol Reporter will give you a more detailed report on the games, etc., for the Editor and wife were not there Saturday, but many a family brought their youngsters to Ennis to participate in the program and competition only to have a whooping good time themselves.

The brotherly and sisterly spirit of love, tolerance and understanding prevailed, many a kind face was seen after a long absence, many a hand clasped again, new acquaintances made, all of them treasured in our , hearts forever.

The Sokol (Czech for the Falcon) a bird likened to our American eagle, a symbol of keen eye, courageous heart and strength; teaches truth, brotherhood and moral integrity to its adher ents, America's citizens. To its fledglings, it teaches voluntary discipline, self confidence, sportsmanship and cornpatability from their infancy, so that by teen-age, they are all-around good athletes. So keen is this athletic proficiency in the Sokol youth that there is no thought of drug store corners of after curfew rendezvous with trouble. They are taught the manly art of self defense, boxing, as well as the social grace of dancing.

The organization praticipates in enhancing the programs of other Czech founded organizations, to lend a helping hand wherever possible. One unit loaned its Hall free of. charge to sponsor projects to raise money to build a beautiful Catholic Church which so many of its people dreamed about. In one instance, the -Man of the Cloth drilled in the gymnasium with the Sokol's youngsters for the love of athletics only to finally win so many of those youngsters into his Church for their love of him. The good Nuns in one nearby school participated in Sokol programs with musical numbers taught Sckol youngsters in their classes. That's the unpretentious Sokol influence in the lives of our Texas children, where nearly every family belongs to two or more Czech founded organizations, supporting them all.

The Dallas Sokol Unit which is in the process of building their new $75,000 Sokol Hall and SPJST Lodge No. 130 home, had a scaled model of the proposed building on hand to show and to explain to those interested in it, and interested in swelling the coffers of this project that the young folks of Dallas are undertaking. They are banded together in determination, in harmony and hard work, with the blessings of its

older membership and that of our Texas Czechs whose beneficient hearts have always supported worthy Czech projects, to build this modern and comfortable home for gymnasium as well as conventions, gatherings of both Sokol and SPJST Lodges, that will be housed therein. The old Sokol Hall was zoned by the city fathers into a colored section of town.

Lucky are the folks who have a Sokol Unit in their town and wise are he parents who take advantage' of it.

A lot of credit should go to the various committees, who worked so diligently to make the Slet a success, The gymnasts all, outdid themselves as final scores indicated.

Sokols and friends from all parts of Texas were in attendance. All concerned could receive nothing but praise. The Dallas gymnast didn't "fair so well" but they gave it all they had. Better "LUCK" next time!

The "Model" of our new building was on display at the Slet and we received a lot of nice comments. Also asked, was "When will you start building?" and when do you expect to have it finished?" which we couldn't answer those questions! Plans are being worked on continually and we hope have it completed by New Years but only time will tell.

Our next coming event will be an "Out-door meeting and Picnic on Sunday, August 10th at the new site, from 1:00 p. in. until dark. All n.embers and their friends are urged to attend.

Women's Nook WEST, TEXAS

I has been said that if we doidn't talk about the weather most of us wouldn't have anything to talk about. I say, the weather is the most logical thing to talk about since it affects all of us so much at this time. Not only does the weather at this time give us added problems such as the increased wash load, special meals, with gallons and gallons of liquid in one form or another that the family consumes, plus the irritation to infant as well as its sweltering family, but our economic structure for good or bad where crops are concerned is influenced. Most of us have some sort of cooling agent in the house, a fan, air conditioner — water or refrigerated — but usually just when the thing is most needed something goes on the blink and we are back in the weather.

So, why not talk about the weather in jest, it helps us bear it.

Everytime we think about the heat, we automatically go to the the refrigerator for a cool drink of water, iced milk, sparkling fruit or vegetable juices which offer us a variety of thirst-quenching "coolers" for these July days.

They also offer important food values, too, which the family with its water drinking may not get in sufficient quantities for the required balanced diet.

Acid fruit juices are especially refreshing and cooling as they contain less heat producing sugar.

May we suggest that you keep plenty of milk, frozen or canned fruit juice in your box at all times. Iced tea, ginger ale are good "blenders" and "stretchers." Fresh oranges, lemons and limes can be used in many different beverages. The new trick of using Jell-o pudding for making cool sodas etc., is also handy. And don't forget pineapple and its versatility.

VESTNiK WEST, TEXAS

Sweetening drinks is easier if you keep a supply of sugar syrup in the refrigerator. To make it: mix 2 cups of water to 3 cups of sugar and boil three minutes. One and three-eights tea spoon of cream of tartar may be added to the syrup to prevent crystallizaticn.

Garnishes add extra appeal such as fresh mint mint from your garden, a thin slice of orange or lemon, a cherry, marshmallow or other colorful fruit will add enjoyment.

Remember to serve beverages in well chilled glasses or over sparkling ice cubes. Hmmm, just thinking about this makes one thirsty!

This brings to mind the preparation of fruit salads that one usually prepares right at meal-time because the fruit gets discolored when left standing too long. A level teaspoon of Ascorbic-citric mixture dissolved in a little water and mixed with your fruit, offers long-time protection against browning and flavor loss. Lemon juice can be used "f you don't happen to have the ascorbi citric on hand. Prepare your fruit and p ce in your refrigerator. Serve at meal time.

Served with a ready whipped ere or ice cream, it is most welcome in the July and August weather, as a dessert.

I recently saw a "Mary-Be-Quick" recepe for scrambled eggs that was delicious. It called for a small can of deviled ham added to beaten eggs and fried and scrambled. The flecks of ham give the scramble a distinctive flavor and its quick. For so many working in an office, these "Mary-Be-Quick" meals were especially appealing to me at eventide. Together with a salad already prepared, the scramble, a cooler and presto! supper on the table.

Like most Czech homebodies, your Editor and I like to eat in our kitchen, but cooking the evening meal tends to make the kitchen hot for hours, so, I try to get things done while he's in the printing office and make a quick egg scramble that will not heat up the kitchen. A satisfactory light meal, too, will let one sleep — no tossing about uncomfortably in bed. That's the attribute of years — once we could sleep on nails!

What a wonderful day it was for the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Ennis Sokol Unit observance last Sunday, July 27. It brought back nostalgic metrories of my kid days at the Sokol meets in Ennis.

Many an old friend came to visit and remember dear faces now missing from their former ranks. It was especially nice seeing Mrs. Herzan, now cf California, back in the old hometown of Ennis. She's looking wonderfully well and one could tell that she enjoyed meeting with old lodge friends and neighbors

again. Also present were Mrs. Frank Stransky Sr., of Dallas, Mrs. Svitak of Fort Worth, Mrs. Marie Rendi of Corpus Christi, and Mrs. August Malik of Dallas, all charming and gracious old ladies who migrated to America and who have given our social gatherings the gracious and charming atmosphere representative of the Czechs from the old world. How we love them and wish for them many more years among ,us!

My poor garden for all the watering is wilted, but with my new catalogue arriving, I'm spending many a pleasant hour browsing through the pages of the catalogues, planning and planning.

I've been reading about the characteristics of Oriental poppies. I believed all poppies to be of a season's duration and have found the tiny seed hard to grow, but lo, I've learned!

Oriental poppies usually bloom out of a mass of lush foliage on numerous stalks right after the spring flowers have passed their full tide of blooming, with dozens of blossoms as though a magician were pulling silk handkerchiefs out of space.

Where once only brick red poppies were available, our flower wizards have produced myriads of colors from which to choose which include clear pink, watermelon pink, salmon-pink, cerise, rose, blood red and pure white.

There is something classical about the poppy; the developing bud, with its fuzzy green cap which cracks open to release the first crinkled petal; then almost before your eyes come big silken petals, splashed with dark patches at the base, shake out to full size revealing the center seen capsule neatly marked with radiating dark lines and surrounded by a muff of dark stamens. They are unrivaled for their flowers, but once their blooming season is passed, the foliage becomes shabby, dying completely by mid-summer, leaving only the drying seed pods which are sometimes collected for painting and lacquering for winter bouquets. However, planted next to perennials with long lasting foliage such as the popular iris, phlox, daylillies and chrysanthemums to fill the space ,the disappearing poppies are not problems.

Orential poppies are wonderful show pieces in their own right, but the beauty of the flower is set off when they are associated with other perennials that bloom at the same time such as the above mentioned iris, hesperis, early peonies or lupines, etc. With the full color range to work from, white through the light/dark tones of pink, red yellovl and blue; and the blends found in the iris and lupines, one can plan the garden scheme for shofinanslaip.

Oriental poppies are best transplant-

c_%raTiq ed next month, August, although your nurseryman can supply you with dorMant roots all through the fall to add to your garden. They are not hard to grow if you set them in deeply dug loam to which humus of some sort has been added to lighten the soil and improve the drainage. the crown of the plant should be .three inches below the ground level.

Water well at planting time and once a week thereafter if the weather is dry.

By sloping the soil down from the plant, your Water surface drainage is assured. t By October new leaves begin to appear. Tuck a mulch of straw or other loose material under the leaves to prevent. the roots from heaving out of the soil during the wintertime. A light mulch covering over the plant is good too.

Old clumps may be dug and cut apart in August to make more plants, or roots may be cut into short lengths and set In a propa,gating bed. These root plants will be big enough to transfer into the garden in agout two years.

A word of caution however; there is n o harm in dividing plants to increase stock of a choice variety and to extend its use in the garden but under no eh Cumstances should old clumps be dug and separated 'in the hope of improving their vitality. Like peonies, poppies take several years to be come deeply rooted. An early feeding in the spring with a garden fertilizer, watering and weeding, a little winter mulch is all the care they require.

A clump left unmolested grows larger each year to give you that magical burst of: color, a bouquet of gay goblets on atrong three-foot stems. Why not get some oriental poppies started in your garden in a place where they will not have to be moved for several years, a showy place where you can enjoy their beauty. They require little care, and are long lasting, plants come in a variety of colors.

Before closing may I send sister and Brother J. R. Bartek of Lodge 92, our :sincerest congratulations and best wishes on their observing their 45th Wedding Anniversary. Many happy retains to you Barteks, the road was rocky at times I'm sure but we all in our Lodge 92, wish that your future road in life 1;4;411 be smooth, long and a happy one!

I chanced to come upon the WFFA, Channel 8, Polka-Go-Round from Chicago, yesterday, Monday, and enjoyed the national dances of different nations presented. The costumes, too, were enjoyable. ; The boys and girls dancing the polkas and waltzes fairly bounced around and round as though they had springs ha their shoes. It brought me back to the days when I too, polished the floor

Fraternally, Mrs. A. A Svacek ,. a A, 4. (LODGE POKROK DALLAS NO.84 Dear Members and Friends: Here are the results of our July lodge meeting.

First of all, I'm going to write about the latest work and gift contributions to the lodge and who was responsible for these with a big THANK YOU, everyone.

All of us admired the enlarged photographs cf two of our past presidents now deceased, Brother Drobil and Brother Jae Marek. Sister Annie Mardi took unto herself the cost of having these enlarged .

The record collection for the nickelodeon has been increased. The lodge purchased several imported recordings and the Teen Age Club donated an additional fifteen.

Another sight for sore eyes was the beautiful drapes on the windows in the conference Room. Everybody was wondering about them when finally someone gathered enough courage and asked just what's what. Brother Willie and Sister Carlyn Ondrusek donated the material and Sister Libbie Janousek donated the workmanship for the drapes.

Brother Anton Janousek hung the drapes which makes for a very distinguished Conference Room.

Also, Brother Willie Ondrusek asked

Wednesday, August 6, 1958 permission to donate lumber for some lattice work in the kitchen.

Sister Annie and Brother Otto Janousek donated all the plastic sheet for the nursery beds. These were certainly very much needed.

And another item for the nursery was brought by Sister Angeline Ozymy — a baby play pen which was donated by Brother and Sister David from Oklahoma.

It seems everyone is willing to help in any way needed as is shown by Bro. Jerome Rejcek ,who took ontu himself the task of keeping all the fans, bath En the stage and floor, in good order.

Also, Brother Jody Rejcek is in charge of removing the fence between the alley and back of our lot so there wouldn't be so much congestion with parking. He had plenty of offers to help.

It seems every time Brother J. Kutil walks in the hall, he's always carrying a chair. This he probably picked up when last visiting the hall. You see, Brother Kutil is the chair repair man.

NO one has to tell him about a loose jointed or broken chair — he goes around and inspects them and if one has the least bit of trouble, he picks it up and puts it in good shape.

Of course, credit should go to his better half also, Sister Agnes Kutil, for without her, the work would be harder.

Four play tables for the children were brought by Brother John Baleja, who built .3.nd donated them.

It's wonderful to have everyone so willing to give so generously of their time, efforts and cash to make our lodge an outstanding one — one in which we all have a part. To all of you and the many others that have given, thank you again. ' The auditing committee reports all books are in order and the credit for his gees to our bookkeeper, Sister Annie Steiner. She works very hard at this job.

At our July meeting, eleven new persons were admitted into lodge membership. Welcome to you all.

The Sunshine Committee has good news! No one on the sick list. But if any of you membersr fell low or let down and feel that no one cares, call the Sunshine Committee at TA-3-76'77 or HA-1-0232. You'll find that we at lodge No. 84 care and will either visit you or send; a card.

Did each family received a letter, with a postal card enclosed, from the Secretary of the Lodge? If so, and you haven't yet returned it, please do so. this, as you know, concerns the work in the kitchen for the future. It is important to return the cards so that the

Wednesday, August 6, 1958 corrogitteewilleknow hoer ticr, handle this problem. It is so important also to maintain- the kiteheri sometimes during the !dance one's tummy might feel a little empty and it certainly is nice to have a place to go to for a snack. If enough respond in the positive, then the kitchen work would fall on each couple only once every 3 years. This wouldn't be bad, especially compared to the 'six months. Brother and Sister Sill worked continuously. So send that card today.

Nov about our future lodge activities.

A dance is scheduled for August 20, with a Meeting on the 21st. After the meeting, - there' will be a Family Night with eats- and lameS. Oilr gigantic celebration will be held Saturday; August 30, and Sunday, August 31 , This will be our lodge building "shindig" one as you can tell from the two day celebration it promises to be a grand one.

Some went to the big task of building beautiful floats and entered them in

their celebration parades, proudly showing the public what the Youth of SPJST is doing.

There were Easter parties and programs galore, according to reports and also letters in the Vestnik, they all must of had an Easter Hunt or party of one kind or another.

Some have outings, such as sight seeing, going to a dude ranch, fishing trips.

There were some who had either a Benefit Dance or Supper, the Youth and their parents furnished the necessary food and supplies and the profit went to the Youth Club. Some use the money for certain projects, such as helping the Mother lodge to furnish their kitchen, other8 bought fans for their hall, and some used the money to finance the expenses of their Youth Club activities.

The same goes for Mothers and Fathers day as did for Easter. I believe every active lodge had a program or party of Some sort on mothers and fathers day.

Some had each program separate, others had a combined program for both mother and father on the same day.

Some clubs have birthday clubs with birthday parties each month for children whose birthday come in that month.

Others took their children to picnics some to skating rinks, some showed films in their meetings.

I had the pleasure of installing the officers in one of the more active clubs.

They really had a nice program, the

VESTlitIK— WEST, TEXAS

Wednesday, August 5, 1.0:1:1

Youth Director of that Club together with her youth really planned that program well. I wish more of us could have seen it, we could have all benefitted.

There were a few clubs whose children participated in a program at the Texas Fraternal Council in Dallas, some at the Fiesta of San Jacinto week at San Antonio, and many, many in the District Meeting programs. I believe the youth directors and the Youth of these Clubs should be complimented for their attendance in these District Meetings. It gives us a better understanding of one another. It brings closer relationship between the Youth and Adults . So many times we have heard that we have lost a generation of our Youth, that they will not come and associate with us. Well I differ here with those statements, my belief is that we neglected to invite them to share in our undertakings, we were too busy thinking and planning for ourselves, forgetting about our Youth and when vie finally woke up it was almost too late, many of our fine Youth went elsewhere to look for their enter-

tainment, but I am confident now, that through your faithful leadership and untiring efforts we will accomplish the things that some thought couldn't be done, For instance, District Three had a Youth Activity Day last month. The whole day was devoted to the Youth, the attendance of Youth was great, and they all had a wonderful time, as some of them wrote in the Vestnik. "This was a day never to be forgotten." Yes, it took a lot of work, effort and time of the District and assistant District Youth Directors, to gether with the local lodge Directors and a lot of members too, but it was well worth it, I too believe this clay will never be forgotten, I understand that District No. 2 is also planning a Youth Day in the near future, I certainly wish them luck, and I know they will derive a lot of pleasure by sponsoring a Youth Activity Day in their District.

Thanking you and looking forward your program, I remain, Fraternally yours, Joe B. Hejny

SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: Last night, Wednesday, July 30, we played McCord Music and lost a thrilling 5 to 1 ball game. Actually the score was 2 to 1 until the last half of the sixth inning when they scored 3

VEST Nt K WES1, TEXAS runs as the result of an error. All the players played a good game and would really like to have won our last game 'of the season in our league. Let's not overlook the fact that McCord Music is second best team, in Dallas this year, Therefore, our opposition couldn't have been any stronger and we did give a pretty good account of ourselves this second half of play. Frank Mach, III, pitched a very good game allowing only 5 hits, walked 1 man and struck out 6 batters. Frank has turned in an outstanding job for us in the second half of play and if he continues to hrprove as he has, and given the opportunity to pitch regularly he can be rated up along with the best in the city in another year or two, If he has the desire and works hard at it, this is entirely possible.

Leading hitter for the game was Jody Rejcek who had 2 base hits and, unofficially, but it looks like he cinched the team batting trophy with a batting average of .400. Also getting base hits were Bill Robbins and. Allen Dunn, our catcher, who played another good game behind the plate.

In the second game of the evening, Arnold Taylor, Inc , defeated State Farm Ins. by a score of 2 t o 1, whereby McCord Music thus won the second half Championship. State Farm Ins. first half winner will have to play McCord, Music, second half winner to determine the league champion.

We had a very large turnout of members and friends at the game and our sincerest thanks and humble appreciation for such loyal support despite our unspectalor record this season. Your interest and all of your support, was more gratifying than even winning another championship. We may not have won the team championship on the field, but all our rooters, consisting of all the wives and children of our players, plus a large number of our members and friends are truly the champs in the grandstand by their attendance at all of the games this season and their cheering. In summation, we can officially close this season and still feel we have enjoyed ourselves and have strengthened our bounds' of friendship and fraternalism through our softball team. I as the manager of this small group of ballplayers, all members of Lodge Pokrok Dallas No. 84, am truly proud of the way you conducted yourselves on the field of play. You have all set a fine example of sportsmanship t, o the other 3 teams of our league and the other

Strana 25 teams which we played this season. I truly enjoyed the association with all of you and hope most of you will play again next season, After the game, all of the players, their wives and children plus all of our fans at the g ame that could attend: all enjoyed a wonderful chili dog supper with potato chips, onion, cookies, and drinks consisting cf "pivo" and soft drinks. The scene of tihs party was in the beautiful spacious back yard of Jerome and Jenora Rejcek. A total of 75 people were were present including the children and everyone had plenty to eat and drink and all present enjoyed an evening of visiting with one another.

All cf the refresh:r'ents were furnished by the softball team and this was our way of showing our appreciation to the wonderful members and friends of Lodge No. 84 and oar wives and children who were so faithful and ever present at all our games this season.

We wish to offer our sincerest thanks to Brother Jerome, Sister Lenora and Nadya Rejcek for letting us have the party at their home, and Jor all the work that went with it. Also our thanks to Brother Willie Ondrusek for bringing out the good chili and wieners and for helping us with the cooking. Our thanks for everyones attendance and for your nice comments. I hope that I haven't forgotten to' mention. someone, but if I have, my sincerest appologies and a big thanks also.

The annual softball team "steak dinner" will be held in the near future and your committee will notify you when all of the particulars are worked out.

We will have a picture of the team and we will call upon our good editor, Brother Hosek to put it in the Vestnik in the very near future. We know that he will willingly do this for our team.

We want to go on record and thank Brother Hosek for his cooperation and courtesy that he has extended to us, we deeply appreciate his assistance. Our thanks to everyone for making this such an enjoyable season.

Fraternally yours.
