Z ULAN RADOM SPJST. Cteni bratri a sestry:— KakIV obchodni podnik neb zavod, kte 117 za new stoji, se snazi o to aby v'Secky jeho obchodni zalektasti byly vyrizovany tak, aby na kaZdeho, kdo s tim podnikem ma neco do eineni, jednani s toho zavodu melo dobrY dojem: aby kaldV kdo od toho zavodu dostane nejakjr do pis aby ten dopis svVm vzhledem a .slohem dosvedeoval, ze je to podnik solidni, aby v tom dopise bylo v'Secko srozumitelne a spravne napsano; aby v tom dopise nebyly chyby ye slabikovani; aby ten dopis pekne vypadal, tak aby na toho, kdo ten dopis dostane ten dopis dobrY dojefn. To je vkeko velice dillekte a ma veliky vYznam. K tomu je take vehni dulezite, aby vkcka kcrespondence a vAecky jine obchodni zálektosti toho podniku neb zavodu byly Vytizovany rychle, ptesne a bez odkladani. Nate Jednota je podnik bratrskV ale nak Hlavni fitadovna, musi jeji cbchodni zalektosti vyrizovati obchodnirn zpilsobem tak jako kaZdV jiny obchodni zavod neb podnik, ktery neco znamena ancbo za new stoji.

Kc13,2 jsem nastoupil milj brad co tajemnik Hlavni fitadovny na 1. ledna 1941 uminii jsem si, Ze vynasnakm se o to, aby tak dalece jak mne,to bude moZno, jcdnani kaZdeho s naAi Hlavni bradevnou bylo vhly vyrizeno tak, aby kaklY elen nazi Jednoty mohl nad jednanim Hlavni bradovny laVti hrdV. Musel jsem v to snaze prekonat mnoho prekaek, z neporozumeni a nepochopeni, ale dou-

fam, Ze se mile to aspori easteene. podaVam, bratri a sestry, nazi Jednoty kteti jste mne v -Leto snaze napornocni, jsem Vam za to velice vdeenV. Co zd'e dues piSu neni mineno co hejaka kritika, ale Zadost k Vam • abyste nme byli v moji snaze jaSte naddle vVpomocni aby kaZda. obchodni zalektost Hlavni bradovny byla vyrizena spravne a schopne a aby mohla bVti vyrizena hned bez protahovani, bez odkladani a to se tYee, na prvnim miste, vyplaceni bmrtnich podpor po nasich zemkelYch bratrich a sestrach.

Nak Jedncta nra velice krasnV rekord a reklamu ve vyplaceni frmrtnich podpor ktere vkly vyplacime bezod'kladne, kdy2 je to moZno, ten samV den jak oznameni firrirti zde na Hlavni bradovnu prijele.

BohuZel, ale eastokrat neni to man° pro ruzne prieiny.

Drive ne2-li fimrtni podporu vyplatiti mbleme my musime miti od domaciho radu bmrtni oznameni toho elena, abysme vedeli jak on si s piacenim poplatkii u jeho domaciho ra.clu stoji: jestli on nema u radu nejakV dluh: kdo, podle zapisku domaciho radu je beneficientem zemteleho, atd. Oastokrate flase za.znamy na Hlavni bradovni se rtzni se zaznamy v certifikAtu, co se tVee beneficientu, atd. K tomu musime take mitt od Jekare, kterV zemkeleho pied jeho smrti okroval tak zvanou "Proof of Death" listinu anebo od Statniho Zdravotniho Odboru firedni dosvedteni, ktere

Statni Odbor Pojig teni vyZaduje, Ze 'den skuteene zemtel.

KdyZ od mistniho radu dostaneme dosvedeeni o fimrti a ilmrtni oznameni elena ye kterem jsou udany vgecky pod. robnosti tVkajici se financi mezi zemrelVria a jeho tadem, atd., ktere musime miti, ye ktevem je ureite udano jmeno beneficienta neb beneficientd zemkeleho, tak fimrtni podpora splatna pod tim cer tilikatem, je v2cly vyplacend obratem potty. Ja, se vkly snaZim abychom nene-• chali slunce zajiti nad Zadnou obchodni zalektosti nazi Hlavni tradovny, ne vyrizenou kdy2 je moZno tomu pkedejiti.

Dostaneme ale na Hlavni fdadovne stokrat oznameni bmrti od mistnich s kterVm neni prilolen "Proof of Death" od lekare neb dosvedeeni od Statniho Zdravotniho Odboru, o smrti ze• mrelelio; anebo ve kterem nejsou udany podrobnesti neb navody komu to poW. teni vyplaceno bVti ma, atd. 0 astokrat se stava, ze v funrtnim oznameni, je POuze udano, ze pojiWeni ma bVti vypla ceno, bud'to muzi neb manZelce elena, bez uclani jeho neb jejiho jmena.

Pravil :"Pkiteli, nedrobme ten nalez.

Zpivajici kolebka Byla jednou jedna tichd, hodna pani, uZ se pa leta ani neusmala, nic ji natekb°, byla stale smutna, protOe nemela deti. Pranic ji nerozveselilo, nikam nechodila, a kdyZ ji umiel mu', byla jeSte smutnejSi, protole pochopila, ze uz bude vZdyckk storm,. KdyZ to nikdo neslySel, vzdychla, Ze ma tak pustk a prazdnk do mov. Ani pracovat nemohla, protole nebyla zdrava, v tete Sila na zahrade na slunieku a v zime sedela doma, jako zakleta. Mela dobre srdce, ale kdYz potkala na ulici Zenu, ktera, vedla za ruku dite, utekla dornd a plakala zavisti.

Jeclnou ji umkela babieka, odkazala vnukran nejakk stark nalaytek, bylo vie cledicil a meli se poctive rozdelit.

Jen smutna pani se skromne kreila v koute, vzpominala se steskem na babieku a eekala, co na, ni zbude-.

Laeni spoludeclici ji nenechali nic klou dneho, protole se neumela hajit., stala stranou a divala se jak se hadaji, rvou a Sidi jeden druheho.

"Co s ni?" zasmaly se dedieky, "takovk zbyteenk stark kram dnes uz nikdo nekoupi." Mai prohledli jeji telke dievo a prohlasili chamtive: "MUe se rozAtipat na topeni."

"Ja si ji vezmu," fekla smutna pani, odtahla si starou kolebku yen a odvezla domd jako jedine dedictvi.

Small se ji hlasite, ale byli radi, ze jim zbylo vice na rozdeleni.

Na kolebce byl vyryt letopbeet stark skoro dy e ste let, a i babieka ji kdysi koupila jako staraitnost. Jeji smutna, bezdetna, vnu qka ji otkela s prachu, pe6110' vyeistila a postavila do kouta pokoje jako pamatku na bY. vale generace.

The Growth Of Life Insurance in State Of The State of Texas has been in the Union a little more than a century. In this time, the Lone Star State has made rapid progress in the development of its industry, agriculture, and natural resources. The free enterprise spirit has been strong in Texas and has helped make the state the leader in the country in the production of oil, natural gas, cotton and beef. Texas is becoming big in life insurance too. Ownership is making rapid strides in catching up with the rest of the nation and in the aggregate owned, the state now ranks sixth. However, the average ownership per family was only $7,600 in 1957, which compares with a national average of $8,300 per family. The progress of life insurance in Texas is shown by the fact that in about a decade protection per family has increased more than 100 per cent.

The total coverage of all Lone Star State life insurance policyholders was $22 billion at the end of 1957, a rise of almost $2.5 billion in the year.

There are basically four categories of life insurance: ordinary, group, industrial and credit. Ordinary insurance, whioh makes up the largest percentage of life insurance owned in our nation, constituted more than one half of the insurance ownership in the state at the end of 1957. In that year $2.8 billion of this type of insurance was purchased by the people of the Lone Star State, an amount which set a new high. ( To numerous to mention, the Editor thanks all his friends who have sent greetings from their vacation trips. We hope that you all returned home safely and refreshed and please help attain our goal of 3 million new Insurance in 1958—Thanks again.

foI In this busy, fast-moving world in which we live, hate is a luxury no one can afford. With so many individuals and world problems needing our all-out attention and efforts, there is absolutely no excuse for spreading the - poisons of vindictiveness and vengeance, either between individuals or between groups.

Hating', in reality, is a childish outlet for our emotions. It is an emotional display which helps no one and hurts everyone, the one who hates more than the one who is hated. The victim is hurt only on those few occasions when he is unfortunate enough to come in contact with the one who hates. But to the latter, hate is like a shadow. It is with him all the time.

There is no siireile, universal formula for removing the poisons of hatred from our pattern of living — no such thing as throwing the switch of hate on or off, It is a personal, and individual prob.lent - SOMething cacti of us must solve alone. We roust emphasize those things in our lives that lead to a greater brotherhood of man — we must avoid those that give us cause to hater For truly, toady more than ever, there no time for hate.

Dale Carnegie once .said, "any fool can criticise, condemn and complain -and most fools do!" Criticism seems to be a popular sport to achieve superiority by trying to lower the prestige of others. It is an indirect form of selfbooting. Many have the Mistaken idea that they can overcome their feeling of inferiority by pulling others down. Some never ,seem to learn to do anything else but to criticize and complain.

Selfesteem is easily injured and most of us resent or become annoyed at criticism. Criticism ranges all the way from grumbling, nagging, belittling, knocking and fault-finding to positive and constructive suggestions. Unfair criticism is often prompted by jealousy, ignorance or suspicion, injustice or intolerance, and it becomes habitual with the worst offenders.

Lincoln said, under one attack from his opposition, "If I tried to read, much less answer, all the criticisms made of me and all the attacks leveled against me, this office would be closed for all other business. I do the best 1 know how, the very best I can. I mean to keep on doing this, down to the very end. If the end brings me out all wrong, then ten angels swearing I had been right would make no difference. If the end brings me out all right, then what is said against me now will not amount to anything."

The more a man does, the more he breaks away from the beaten path, the more he will be a target for criticism.

The higher he 'climbs the more numerous are his detractors. .To escape criticism we would have to say nothing, do nothing and be nothing. The moment we attempt to ste p out from the crowd, or take on added responsibilities, there will be many self-appointed critics ready to tell us what we should, or should not do. We must learn to expect criticism, Whether we merit it or not, prepare for it and if possible use it. The ability to take criticism and groW under it, is a sign of strength, while inability to withstand criticism is evidence of weakness.

Temple, Texas August 29, 1958 Dear Brothers and Sisters: Every business institution or concern, of any consequence, endeavorr.; to conduct its busmeas affairs in such a manner that everyone,' wbo comes in dontact with it either through persona:, contact or through correspondence, would form a favorable impression of it. It endeavors that every letter sent out by it, by its lay-out, appearance and construction would evidence that it comes from a real worth-while concern; that every letter is written in an understandable, and grammatically correct language; that every letter is free of errors in spelling; that every letter presents such an appearance, that the recipient of it would be favorably impressed by it. This is all very important and very signifi cant. In addition to that it' is also very important that all correspondence and all business transactions of every busi ness concern or institution be attended to Promptly, with dispatch, and without delay, Our Order is a fraternal institu tion, but our Supreme Lodge has to conduct its business affairs in a businesslike "manner; and in the same manner as any Other business institution or concer, of any singificance or standing.

When I assumed the office of Secretary of the Supreme Lodge, on Jan. 1, 1941, 1 resolved that I would try, as far as it would he in my power to do, so, that the, business of our Supreme Lodge, would be cOnducted in such a way, that every member of our Order could point to our Supreme Lodge with pride. To do that, I had to . overcome many prejuobstaeles, misunderstandings, and lack of understanding, but I hope that I have been, at least, partially successful in that respect. To you, brothers and sisters, of our Order who have been so helpful to me, in that effort, I wish to express my sincere thanks.

What ` I ani. writing here today is not intended as a criticism of anyone, but as a request, to you, for your continued assistance in my endeavors, that all the business transactions of the Supreme odge might always be handled with competence and correctness, promptly, t ,i.th dispatch, and without delay, and that concerns the payment of death claims, especially.

V P. STNIK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; WEST, 17:77../A Our Order has an enviable record for prompt payment of death claims, which. we always pay without' delay; if at all possible; the same day that the death claim, notice reaches the Supreme Lodge.

However, very often, we cannot do 'so for various reasons.

Before adeath claim may be paid, we have to receive from the local lodge the required Official Death Notice of the member, in order to know whether or not the deceased. member is not in arrears with his premiums to the local lodge, who, according to the records of the local lodge is the beneficiary in the Certificate of the deceased, etc. Very often our record's, at the Supreme Lodge, are at variance with the beneficiary designation in the certificate, etc. In addition to that we have to have either a Proof of Death, executed by the physician who treated the deceased, immediately prior to death, or a Certificate of Death from the State Department of Health or Bureau of Vital Statistics, certifying the death of the deceased. The State Insurance Department demands that.

When we receive an Official Death Notice from the local lodge, containing all the details, and the name of the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the deceased, which we must have, in all such cases the death benefits are always paid immediately. It is always my endeavor not to let the sun go down on any unfinished business transaction of the Supreme Lodge, if it is possible to avoid it.

With many . Official Death Notices we receive, at the Supreme Lodge, the local lodge fails to enclose the required Proof of Death, certified to, by the physician who treated the deceased,, , immediately prior to death, or a Certificate of Death from. the State Department of Health of the :Bureau of Vital Statistics; or the local lodge fails to give us any information or instructions relative to whom the death benefits shall be paid, ect.

VerY often the Official Death Notice merely states that the death benefits shall be paid to the Surviving "husband" or "wife", without stating his or her name. Since in many cases I do not know these beneficiaries personally, and since we have no source from which we might obtain their names, with any degree of certainty, in all such cases we are compelled to write to the secretary of the local lodge, for the name of the pertinent beneficiary. Sometimes the Of ficial Death Notice merely states that the death benefits shall' be paid to the. "children" without giving the names of the children. That means that we have to write to the local secretary' for' the names of these children. Sometimes the Official Death Notice contains a list of

w.dneorday, rivRt ember, 10,1958 the living children or beneficiaries of the deceased, and a statement that some of the children of the deceased died, with out stating the names of the 'deceased children, nor stating whether or not such deceased children left any heirs. This is something that we must know with certainty. Remember that if a member dies and his children are named as his beneficiaries, that means the death benefits must be, paid to all his children, share and share alike, and if, any of, his children died leaving some heirs, to their heirs who are entitled to the same proportion of the death benefits as their parents would be, if alive. We, therefore, must have the full names of all the beneficiaries or heirs. It is also very important, that in every death claim, in which a nart of the death benefits are assigned to beneficiaries under twentyone years of age, that such death claim states the date of birth of all such minor beneficiaries, because that part of the death benefits assigned to the minor beneficiaries must be retained at the Supreme Lodge until such minor beneficiaries attain the age of twenty-one, and to serve as record when such death benefits can finally be paid to the minors. Occasionally we receive an Official Death Notice containing a list of children of the deceased member among which are listed some married daughters, shown therein as "Mrs. John Doe and "Mrs. Joe Brown." etc. In such cases we must have the first or Christian names of all such married daughters, in order to be able to issue vouchers 'to them under their correct names. Their names as "Mrs. John Doe" and "Mrs Joe Brown," etc. are not sufficient fot that purpose.

In all cases in which we do not re. ceive all the required information, etc., that we must have the pa y ment of the death benefits, must be deferred and that is what I always try to avoid. ,That is the reason I am writing this letter a.na appealing to you, to you our organizers and to you officers of our local lodges, especially, and hereby request that all oi you bear in mind, and with every Official Death Notice sent 'to the Supreme Lodge, that you send all information, and full explanation of everything pertaining to the payment of the death benefits involved. Your compliance with this request will preclude useless and unnecessary correspondence and speed up the payment of our death claims.

Personally, I do not think that it is ces sirable or proper that death benefits should be paid before the deceased , is buried, but I do believe that it is :very Well if the death benefits are paid as soon after th6 funeral as possible.

Wednesday, Sept ember 10, 1958 Because of failure to receive the various and sundry information, which we have to have and which I have outlined in this letter, we always have several unpaid death claims, pending, at the Supreme Lodge. I regret that we have to hold up the payment of these death claims, but in the payment of death claims we have to be very careful. If we were not, we might have to pay some death claims twice. For that reason, brothers and sisters, I shall be very grateful to you for your help and cooperation, and for your always supplying us with all the necessary and required information so that all our death claims could be paid immediately. It adds to the prestige and good name of our Order when all our death claims are paid promptly, without delay.

Despite the fact that I have tried my best to prevent it, our By-Laws permit our members to assign the death benefits in their certificates to "Estate." For people having a large amount of life insurance, it may be desirable to assign some of their insurance to their "Estate," however, in our Order it does not work out very well. Many of our members do not understand what it means, when they assign their death benefits to their "Estate" and make beneficiary designation that way, and later on, their beneficiaries encounter a good deal of inconvenience, in collecting the benefits. The vast majority of our members have only a comparatively small amount of insurance, and in the vast majority of cases the death benefits are, more or less, intended for the payment of their funeral expenses, which are always expected to be paid immediately. However, whenever the insured assigns the death benefits to "Estate" then the death benefits cannot be paid until after the will of the deceased has been probated and the probate court has appointed either an Executor of the.

Estate, if the deceased left a will, or an Administrator if the deceased died intestate, and not until after either one or the other of these two, is legally, appointed, qualifies, and acts as either Executor or Administrator of the "Estate" and then makes demand for these death benefits. This always takes time and involves considerable expense, which in many cases consumes an unreasonably large part of the death benefits involved. In certain cases, such beneficiary designation may be all right and proper, but it has proven very unsatisfactory with us. From the time our By-Laws permit such beneficiary designation, in our certificates, in every death claim, where the death benefits were thus assigned, we ran into trouble. For various

r7- TEXAS reasons and principally for the reason, that the Estate of deceased; was, in most cases, so small that the court expenses connected with the probating of the will, appointment of Executor or Administrator, etc., consumed too large a part of the death benefits involved. In such cases the beneficiaries then insist that the death benefits be paid to them, a8 heirs of the decaesed, direct. However, if the benefits are thus assigned in the certificate, we have to pay them in accordance with the assignment in the certificate. For this very reason, we had been holding up, for about 2 1/2 years, one such death claim.

Brothers and Sisters, and especially you organizers and you officers of our local lodges, I hereby request you, that whenever anyone requests the death benefits in the certificate be assigned to his Estate, that you please explain to the member just what that means, and what it involves. If you will do that, in many cases, you will avoid misunderstanding and unpleasantness, which often times arises as a result of it, afterwards, you will save yourself and the Supreme Lodge a lot of useless correspondence later, and you will help in the effort that all our death claims may be paid immediately, without delay and without useless expense. Help us in that effort, please.

For your kind co-operation and assistance in this endeavor, accept my thanks in advance.

Fraternally yours, J. F. Chupick, Secretary A â&#x20AC;˘

Sisters and Brothers: We have written $1,188,500.00 of new insurance to the close of this month.

We have four more months to go to reach our goal. In behalf of our organizers, I ask you for your help.

The crops will be harvested and they are in most sections good. This will enable us to sell our insurance much easier.

If you know of someone who needs insurance inform your organizer.

I thank you for any help you may give.

Lodge Pokrok 84, Observes Annnrc.,--.:rsary The 48th Anniversary celebration of Lodge Pokrok 84 of Dallas, Texas, was held Sunday, August 31, at the lodge hall on Floyd Street to a huge gathering of the fraternal brotherhood to make this a gala occasion.

The noon hour found the Lodge Hall packed with members, visitors and friends to enjoy the delicious Czech cooking, the good fellowship in the air conditioned Hall and the program of its youth in the afternoon, with dancing that evening.

There were gift booths supervised by the lodge sisters, the proceeds of which were to go to the Building Fund.

We leave the detailed report of the lengthy Youth Program for the Lodge Reporter to write up, together with the names of all its young participants, but we would like to comment upon the Anniversary celebration in a general way.

With the presentation of the Flag by the Lodge youngsters, the program opened into its first number.

Lodge President Sid Pokladnik called the assembly to order about 2:45 to introduce the Guest Speaker and other visiting dignitaries from other lodges, districts and cities in Texas. Visitors from Houston, Temple, Waco, Ennis, West, Fort Worth were especially recognized.

Mr. Marvin Springer, City of Dallas official on the Planning Board, gave us some highlights on his job on the Board, which were quite revealing, for such a large city as Dallas; its neighbor Fort Worth, with other large cities mushrooming on its borders to make a great metropolitan area. He pointed out the economic upheavels taing place in these areas where the rural area suddenly becomes an urban area to a rapidly expanding city, saying that one person out of 100 persons in the U. S. are located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, etc.

Brother Edward L. Ma rek, President of the SPJST Supreme Lodge gave a very interesting talk on the brotherhood and its youth.

The Youth of this lodge are truly talented youngsters and the evident expense and time the parents imposed •upon themselves to bring out the talents of their children, paid off in paternal pride.

So many of these children play instruments, sing and tap dance very eff cc tt% cly. They give such outstanding

Top laurels went to the Girl. number. Here the small in Hula skirts and leis, in many brilliant colors, swayed and preened to the delightted ovation of the audience.

The Bathing Beauty Girls, given once before by these youngsters were just as well received.

The Champagne Music of Lawrence Welk, given by a group of small lads of Pokrok 84, playing their respective instruments of their grown no counterparts, and Master Hanzen interpreting the swinging Welk, was hilariously applauded for its originality and performance.

Brother Sid Pokladnik's two talented youngsters enriched the program with a cute Spanish dance.

I trust Sister Bessie Petr, Youth Director of this Lodge will find time to give you a number by number description of her prograrni. If was her show in leadership and her prerogative to tell you all about it. Congratulations!

One of the most valuable contributions that a person can make to a conversation is intelligent listening. This involves more than keeping quite. Good listening implies attentiveness, interest, posture, response with the light of the eye and facial expression, and occasionally an intelligent question.

The basis for good listening is attention. A person can listen so intently to another's conversation and get so completely into his line of thought that he gets his ideas before they are expressed in words. An excellent time for cultivating this attentiveness is while listening to the speakers of your Lodge meetings.

A special effort can be made to get every idea expressed by the speaker; and it, as sometimes happens, the ideas are not numerous, to give the closest attention to all that is said keeping mental account of the points as they are developed without losing anything that is being stated.

The mind should be held on the discourse, so firmly and persistently that there is no opportunity for other things to intrude. If the ideas come from the speaker too slowly to occupy the mind it can be kept busy reviewing the points thus far made, or even in speculating upon what points are likely to come.

In any case, the mind should be kept on the speaker and his subject. The attention should riot be permitted to fall from the moment he rises until he rids finished. This attention should be absolute. If somebody enters or leaves the room, disregard it.. Try to see nothing but the speaker and hear nothing until he has finished.

If this practice should at first, prove trying, it need not be continued through out the entire lecture. But for such length of time as may be decided upon the attention should be rigorously sustained. If the discourse is a good one much more will thus be learned from it.

If it is of the order that bores one it will be robbed of much, if not all, of its oppresiveness; for when the mind is concentrated upon it, and busy speculating ab-out it, time does not hang heavily, but passes without notice. An unfailing method of shorteninig the apparent time of any discourse is to concentrate attention upon it.

Wain, 21 WACO, SPJST LODGE NO. 66 Dear Brothers and Sisters: !

We wish to take this means of expressing our appreciation to all those who attended our first Labor Day Celebration picnic and dance at Linden Hall on Sunday, Aug. 31st. Also, our sincere thanks go to all the Lodge 66 Chairmen, Committees, and to the Members and friends who worked so hard in making plans for this affair, and for their donations.

The Youth of Lodge 66 were so enthused over their projects. One could tell by their expressions that they felt "important" in having this responsibility which I know each enjoyed sharing.

To our many friends again we say, "thank you" and hope that you will make your plans to attend our other activities and our regular dances each Saturday night.

Fraternally yours, Emma Ceska, for the Entertainment Committee 1 • at. • I. 3RD DISTRICT MEETING, IN ENNIS, SEPT. 14 — LODGE NO 25, ENNIS The SPJST Lodge No. 25, here in Ennis, will be host to the 3rd District meeting, Sunday, September 14th. The meeting will be called to order at 10:00 p.m. so we should all plan on being there on time, so that the opening of the meeting would not be delayed.

We are sure that we will have a large attendance, but wish to extend a cordial invitation to attend this meeting to all of the officers of the Supreme Lodge, to the Editor, to . the members and friends of District 5, and all of the other 5 !districts. This invitation is extended especially to the membership of Lodges 25, 82, and 135. Bring your families and enjoy a day that you will remember, because you will have made many new friends from near and far.

You will also have an opportunity to participate in the business session of the 3rd District, and will see for Yourself the progress that the districts have made, in introducing new ideas and plans for the betterment of the lodges, districts and the Supreme Lodge.

For your enjoyment, we will present a small program, which we feel that you will enjoy to the limit. Also a delicioui menu will be offered at a nominal cost.

So why stay at home? Why not come out and enjoy yourself and at the same time prove that you are an interested member of the SPJST? Also, would like to request each sister of our lodge to prepare a plate of sweets for Sunday Sept. 14th. It doesn't matter, what it is, maybe a cake, pie, strudel

Strana or kolaches, just whichever is the easiest. Each time that you are asked to furnish something for a menu, for a dinner at the National Hall, don't think that it isn't appreciated, for it truly is, and the only way that we can show our appreciation, is by thanking you from the bottom of our hearts. So if you can, bring the pastries to the Hall by 11:30. Sunday morning.

So lets all try to come to the District meeting, Sunday Sept. 14th at the National Hall in Ennis.

Fraternally, Dolfie Hrabina, Lodge 25, Youth Director • • LODGE PAKROK, DALLAS SPJST NO. 84 Dear Members and Friends: Well, our 48th anniversary celebration is now a thing of the past. And, it is one of the bright and outstanding events in the history of Lodge No. 84.

The success of this celebration is due to many persons — the kitchen crew, who served the delicious foods brought by various members and friends; the Entertainment Committee for having obtained such fine music; the sisters who helped in the Building Fund booth or contributed. to it; the Teen-Age Club for their outstanding booths and for dancing the Beseda; to the guest speakers; to our Youth, who provided such an enjoyable program, using the theme of "Around the World" (this was one of the most entertaining programs ever presented); and last, but not least, the persons who attended, to make the celebration complete. Therel were many, many individuals who deserve much gratitude, but to list them all would be almost impossible. So, to all of you, as well as the different groups, in behalf of Lodge No. 84 goes an old fashioned expression which best shows gratitude: "THANK YOU ALL)" We would also like to acknowledge th telegram received from the Dallas Sokol.

It was very heartening to have the congratulations of our Sister Lodge. It shows the true spirit of brotherhood. Please keep in mind, and attend, the District III meeting to be held. Sunday, Sept. 14 at Ennis Lodge No. 25. The day will begin with registration, the meeting being called to order at 10:00 a.m. Make plans to be there.

At our lodge, we will have a dance on Saturday September 20. The music provided will be by Eric Honza's orchestra.

Of course, the next day September 21, being the third Sunday of the month, we will have our regular meeting, followed by Family Night. We hope more and more of you will show up for the

VESTNf — WEST, TEXAS meeting and 'stay afterwards for good eats and lots of fun.

On Saturday, September 27, our TeenAge Club will hold its 2nd Annual Queen Contest Dance. Admission will be $1.00 per person and music will be by the orchestra of Joe Pokladnik. Dancing will be from 8 to 12 p.m. I would like to urge everyone to attend, the dance and support these youths. They have shown their willingness to help the lodge by their work in the kitchen and the booths they operated during our celebration.

So please be sure to attend.

One of the favorite dances of the year will be held October 4. It is the Vinobrani Dance and dance music will be

by Joe Pokladnik's orchestra. Eeveryone always has so much fun at this dance so why not reserve that date right now.

That's all the news for now.

Fraternally, Frances Baleja 1 ••• ( CORPUSHIT,EXAS Dear Readers: It's been several months since I wrote to the Vestnik so here I come with a letter.

Well once again school days are just around the corner. I know that most of the youngsters hate to say goodbye to vacation but most mothers are glad that the children will go to school. All of the mothers are kept busy now with sewing school clothes for those first days in school. I know by my own experience daughters want new dresses, skirts and blouses, etc., when school opens. I will have two daughters in Junior High and one at Del Mar College so I will be kept busy at all times.

This summer I was busy with home canning and enjoyed it :very much. As the pinapple came into season, I pressure-cooked them and also made preserves. Then later on the large, red Santa Rosa plums were at a reasonable price so again I made plumb jam.

Around the house we have several fig trees, so I made fig jam and froze the rest for use later. Also peaches were sold at low prices, 'so I bought me some and canned them, also made peach preserves.

In late July we went to Shiner and I brought back Mustang grapes so again I had a job making grape jelly and preserving grape juice for later use. There is always work for a housewife and never a dull moment. Now, I'm busy dressing chickens for the deep freeze and I am going to buy more chicks to raise for freezer and for egg production.

As I mentioned that we made a trip to Shiner. We went to visit my husband's grandfather who was ill and in Wagner -Hospital. Grandfather jurica is up in

Wednesday, Seprternber, 10, 195$ years, he just had his 93rd birthday, Aug. 24. Congratulations, Grandfather, great-grandchildren. Here at Corpus hope you will see that 100th. Get well soon and visit your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Hehe at Corpus Christi he has twenty-one great-grandchildren and six grandchildren.

Finally the crops are harvested and the farmers are preparing the land for next year. Some farmers made better than others, but in the long run everyone made good. The farmers luck don't always run smooth. The rains came in January and February and then when we needed them, they never came.

We received one rain since we planted the crops, so the corn crop is sorry. The rain that fell July 7th helped the cotton if it hadn't been for that rain, I know we wouldn't have made what we did. Here in Nueces County our cotton crop laveraged three-fourths bale per acre and San Patricio County it made a bale per acre.

Our grain crop suffered from the drouth and just before harvesting a high wind leveled about one-third of it. Once the grain falls to the ground, there isn't any way to gather it.

Editor's wife, I know your're keeping busy also with your garden and flowers. Don't work too hard.

Will close for now and will write soon in regard to the District 'I Youth Program.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Betty Juriea; •( )• Wouldn't it be very helpful to our aims, if each District would set aside one day entirely for its Youth as District In has incouraged? Our boys and girls would become better acquainted by their own choice of one day of good entertainment.—Refreshments could be served.

Volleyball, basketball or other games played, princess election or some other entertainment presented. These Youth days of our Districts would create new interest and afford our boys and girls a wonderful time. The reward would be great to all our Districts.

Let's try it—our Youth leaders should improve on this. ) • 4 • ( There were 339 life insurance companies with home offices in Texas at the start of 1957.

Sokol Sentinel SOKOL DALLAS Dear Sisters and Brothers, This is my last report as treasurer of the building fund committee donation drive. In the last meeting of Sokol Zizka, Will A. Nesuda, well known member of SPJST and Sokol Zizka, will take over my duties, please send all contributions and donations for the new Sokol and Lodge Jaro Hall to Will A. Nesuda, 9517 Redondo St. Dallas, Texas, Phone DA 7-2684.

My job as chairman for the Building Fund Drive, has been lightened by the wonderful cooperation of the committee and sub-committee members, we will be ready this weekend, Sept. 7th, at our big picnic grounds next to Vickery Park, to distribute the first pamphlet to all the citizens who are interested in our movement and goal, it will have pictures and the aim of Sokol Zizka Gymnastic and Educational Organization and Lodge Jaro, with their emblem printed on the pamphlet it will be the duty of all our 500 members to put these pamphlets in the hands of people, where it will do the most good. Some Czech-American citizens in Dallas don't realize the im portance of working all together hand in hand, regardless of who belongs to what, they don't realize that we all benefit, if we put the proper picture before the American public, who we are, our aim and honest effort, reputation, ancestry, our loyalty to this country, it will not only help Sokol and Jaro, but the other Czech organizations in Dallas as well.

I have before me Sokol Tyrs Building Fund drive pamphlet for a new Gymnasium in Cleveland, Ohio, it didn't take them very long to get what they needed, here is some of the prominent names on that fund raising committee; William C. O'Neill, Governor of Ohio, U. S. Senator Frank J. Lausche, Mayor Anthony J. Celebrezze of Cleveland, Spencer D. Irwin, Editor of Cleveland Plain Dealer, Judge J. A. Artl, Common Plea Court and

Wednesday, September 10, 1958 many others. If these prominent citizens of Ohio didn't think SOkols have a worthy cause, they sure wouldn't sign the Building Fund Drive, they know the Sokol institution has been a great force in the community, both in keeping the family together in healthful recreation, in providing a convenient gathering place for others in the community. They believe that the unity fostered by the Sokol could well prove to be of widespread effect in this country.

They believe, before men can live in peace and hannony with unseen people on the other side of the globe, they must have found the meaning of living in peace and harmony with the people next door and across the street.

Fraternally yours, Hugo Schefcak Here are the names of the Honorary donors for the new Sokol and Lodge Jaro Gymnasium.

To put my honest belief on record, here is what I have to say: The fitness of a nation of tomorrow lies in the fitness of its youth of today, and we all should be careful that soft living habits do not become a pattern for our young people of today, The Sok ols are contributing to the general welfare of our country and also are contributing much to democracy, the ideals of friendship and brotherhood of man.

If you will check the names of our Sokol units to the best of your know ledge you will find that almost 1001% of our Sokols are members of our MST and we are proud of our loyalty to our Texas Fraternal Institution and these friendly relations that have been existing in. Texas. Our Sister Blanche J. Cihak said: "The Sokol ideals were a great moral treasure of the people of Czechoslovakia; it is just as great a moral treasure to our people here and to all people wherever they can freely declare for an ideal.

"The Sokol idea is a marshalling point for people who are true to their nation and the principles Qf, democracy and humanity.

Cases Of Death The mortality rate of 6.1 per 1,000 holders of ordinary life insurance policies in 1957 represented an increase of 5% over the record low 1956 rate of 5.8 per 1,000. The 1957 figure was, however, nearly 4% less than the ordinary policy holder death rate of ten years ago. The Asian influenza epidemic, which caused a significant number of deaths from respiratory infections and cardiac invol y -xnets,wamicorbungft to the year's high mortality.

Following the pattern of recent years, the cardiovascular-renal diseases involving the heart, circulatory system and kidneys, accounted for well over onehalf of all ordinary policyholder deaths in 1957. Mortality from heart diseases alone accounted for 43% of all deaths.

The cancer death rate showed a rise of almost 5% in 1957, with such deaths representing nearly one-fifth of total deaths. The mortality rate from motor vehicle and other accidents was up slightly in 1957. The heart diseases, cancer and accidental deaths together accounted for four out of five policyholder deaths in 1957.

The death rate from most infectious diseases declined. Exceptions were pneumonia and influenza where a 26% rise occurred.

High Blood Pressure Those who have high blodd; pressure, or as doctors say, hypertension, should steer clear of "emotional storms" or upsetting situations. In fact, doctors advise their hypertensive patients to spend as much time as possible in calm and peaceful surronddings that help ease daily tensions and strain.

This is important because sustained tension tightens up or constricts the body's smallest blood vessels. As a result, the heart must exert a stronger force or pressure to pump blood through the body.

High blood pressure affects about five million people in our country today and is a major cause of heart trouble in middle and later years.

Fortunately, treatment for it haS steadily improved. Several new drugs, for instance, are bringing relief to many thousands of patients today.

These drugs, however do not cure the condition. They must be used under close medical. supervision as the doctor has to study each individual case and decide which drug or combination of drugs can be used safely and effectively.

Control of high blood pressure depends, to a considerable extent, upon what patients do about their health.

Most patients who are careful about weight control, diet, relaxation, rest, and who have periodic medical checkups to guard against possible complications — can live long, comfortable and useful lives.

The best way to help avoid heart disease due to high blood pressure is to de* tect and treat„ hypertension when it first appears, often in the late 30's • or • early 40's.

So, everyone should have regular health examinations — especially those who are overweight and those who have a family history of hypertension.

Remember that everyone's blood pres,i• sure goes up and 'down depending on whether we're "keyed up" or relaxed.

Don't worry if yours is temporarily high, especially during times of stress. Only when blood pressure frequently goes above normal, or stays there, is there cause for concern.

• 4 • A German and Russian were fishing on opposite sides of the river. The German caught fish after fish while the Russian didn't even get a bite. Finally the Russian yelled across, "Why is it you catch fish and I get none?"

The German thought for a minute and then replied, "I guess on your side they are afraid to open their mouths."

About Speeches There is some information that I would like to bring before you, a matter that is often 'discussed but never brought out in the open and that is, that a good many fine meetings have been spoiled by a complete disregard for sanity in speechmaking.

Often a speaker is introduced by the Chairman of the meeting to make a few remarks. He usually has some papers in his left hand and he starts out reading. He reads and reads for minutes and after a short time no one pays any attention to what he has to say.

Every eye in the room is focused on his left hand which holds the remaining pages of his speech. You can hear remarks among 'the spectators. "Looks like he is 'almost through." "No, he isn't there is plenty of pages left."

At some of 'these meetings, our committee should get a little co-operation from the speaker. We are not trying to place the blame on anyone, but it is inportant, however, to prevent • recur7 rences in our meetings from becoming objects of ridicule. All of our speeches should therefore be cut down to a maidmum of let's say about 15 minutes.

We are to make a distinction between speeches and lectures. If a person is intending to bring a lecture to the assenmbly or to the meeting, it should be so announced :and also the subject of the lecture stated beforehand A lecture could be extended to an hour or so and often it takes mare than that to explain a certain subject.

Iii speeches we should limit ourselves to a few remarks that we have in our line on' the meeting and not bring in any other subject except the one for which the meeting has been called.

It is often possible that the Chairman' of the meeting may assign a certain speech to each speaker, a certain subject, and then it is expected that the speaker will hold himself to that asigned subject. We have had occasiOn to have an after' dinner speaking engagement and I would like,to state here that it may appear simple but it is really a difficult art to make ah after dinner speech. A toast may be proposed and thanks retamed and surely most anybody can say something like that, but when you sit at any table where a toast is given and responded to and after you see what a mess four out of five speakers have made of it, you will begin to suspect that It is not quite as easy an accomplishment as you thought it would be. You must not get confused with your words as some times you may be fluent but also not be sensible. You may think of

IrEpTNfic

WEST, 'ILXAS

some good things even things in a pleasant manner if you are real careful. A speaker may be probably fluent and talk sensibly enough at his lodge or even at pUblic meetings but at a banquet he may feel quite foolish and lbok just as foolish as he feels. He could talk pretty well when he had a subject to talk about but he had not learned the art of talking about nothing — the accomplishment of saying something wheh he really has nothing to say; that is the secret of social oratory. It may explain its difficulties, its failures and its successes.

If humor is called for, it should be natural wit not mere recitation of jokes.

The best humor is that which reflects the personality of the speaker. A joke dbes not reflect a personality. Jokes have an alleged place in public speaking but apart from the banquet hall, they should. never be told solely for the purpose of getting laughs, but be told to drive home a point. Jokes of this sort are scarce. Only 1 joke in a 100 has any worth in speech situations, and rememL ber finally that humor that falls flat is worse than none at all. Humor must fit the situation. It must fit the audience and it must fit the Speaker.

Now let's repeat some of the points which are put together in this closing.

That is: that a speaker who talks more than 15 minutes or 20 minutes commits a serious blunder when he imposes upon the good nature of busy people who have probably made other important plans for that evening.

You should be able to notice thefirst sign of "figits" that will appear after about 15 minutes of speechmaking and this discomfort arises in proportions to the elapsed • time of the speech. The speaker who is called blessed is the one who has sense enough to stop talking before his audience expects him to ston.

• t • ( Persons who apply for social security benefits can help speed up their pay= rents if they bring certain records with them when they file application, according to Mr. Al Bracken, District Manager of the Waco Social Security Office.

The applicant should, of course, have his social security card with him, but in addition, the card of any other member of the family for whom a claim will be filed.

Considerable time can be saved in completing the application if the claimant is prepared to furnish a statement of his earnings in the present year and a copy of his W-2 for the last year. If self-employed, he should present a copy of his last tax return and evidence of payment of the social security tax, such

Wednesdays September, as a cancelled check or money order receipt.

Because it may take some time to obtain proof of age, they should begin action on this well in advance, Bracken said. Generally, , the rule here is that the older the record, the better the proof.

An original record made at or after the time of birth, such as an old Baptismal Certificate of family Bible record, is best of all. Where this cannot be obtained other records can be considered such as an old census record, World War I draft registration, poll tax receipt or -.insurance policy. Any one of these, especially if it is more than ten or fifteen years old, may be sufficient. Some , types of evidence Mr. Bracken said, are not usually sufficient by themselves, such as delayed Birth Certificates put on record just recently and affidavits of age by other people. ) • 4 •

STATE SOMETIMES INHERITS PROPERTY Made your will? If not, the State of Texas may wind up as owner of your estate upon your death. Under our statutes, the estate of persons having no heirs who die intestate revert, or "escheat", to the state.

Such provisions have been carried over from the English common law.

There, under such circumstances, the estate escheated to the British crown.

The theory of the process is that the sovereign (or state), having been the original owner of all lands before they were parceled out to individuals, is entitled to a return of such lands when the possibility of legal inheritance have been exhausted.

This idea has been expanded to include personal property as well as real estate. It also applies in the case of a person absent from a term of several years and not known to exist who leaves no heirs and no will.

Presumably, there is hardly a person who does not have some individual or charity that he would perfer to have his estate rather than have it go to the state by default, so to speak. Yet, surprisingly, estates worth many thousands of dollars do escheat to the various states from time to time.

Now, before you shrug the matter ,off with the idea that these statutory provisions could not possibly apply to you, better think a minute. Suppose you and your spouse have no heirs besides each other' and Our children. Many people, do fall into that category.

In event a catastrophe resulting in death for you and your entire immediate family, no legal heirs would remain.

Therefore if you have no will, your property would go to the state. In preparing a will, it is possible to provide for such an eventuality.

In this hypothetical case, you would probably want to designate some friend as executor, to take care of all necessary arrangements and then distribute the estate according to your wishes.

On the other hand, if you have plenty of possible heirs, a will could =be used to

Strana 27. designate which of them shall participate in the division of the estate. And even if you wish your property to be distributed entirely in accordance with our statutes of descent and ,distribution as explained in previous columns, a will can perform useful functions. Among other uses, a will could provide for an orderly and economical partition of your property, preventing any waste of the assets by heirs impatient for a settlement.

What happens to property which escheats to the state? Following certain required legal formalities and court prOceedings, all escheated lands are set apart to the Permanent Free School Fund of the State, and may be leased and sold by the Land Commission under certain regulations. Escheated personal property is sold by the local sheriff under a court writ and the money received therefrom paid into the State Treasury.

AMATEUER LEGAL ADVICE DANGEROUS You don't have to be a lawyer in order to form an opinion on a legal subject. However, it is bad business for a laya-lan to pass such an opinion on to others to guide their actions. He may cause them to suffer substantial losses.

Because of the vast intricacies of the law, a simple set of facts often gives rise to difficult legal problems. In spite of this,( there are many persons who persist in passing out legal advice on all roblems, pounding the table, quoting rules, and loudly expounding opinions.

Beware of those persons, because their free opinions are usually worth , what they cost, and often can be the unintended cause of harm to those who rely on them.

FOr example, George Jones owned a small drug store. He agreed to sell the store to Harry White at a time when he still owed $1,000 to various creditors for merchandise he had bought for the store. George and Harry were in the back room one night discussing who would pay these debts. George suggested that they talk to a lawyer.

Just then Wilbur Knowall came into the room, and heard the discussion.

He assured them that there was no necessity to see a lawyer. He told George to keep the debts, "to avoid complications". As to telling George's creditors of the sale, Wilbur said that was unnecessary because George was still liable to pay them. George and Harry de cided to follow Wilbur's advice.

Several weeks later, after Harry had taken over the store, a representative

Strana 28 of one of George's creditors came in demanded that Harry pay , the debt that George . had incurred. Harry refused, but went to see a lawyer to make certain. Harry was surprised to learn that he had failed to comply with a Texas Statute in buying the store without giving notice of the sale to George's Creditors. He further learned that the Sale Was void as to them, and that he Was liable for George's debts.

This is a commonplace example of the trouble you can get into when toying with the laW. Experienced lawyers often must spend many hours reSearching a problem before advising their clients as to the best course of action to tollow. It is therefore hazardous to rely On the legal advice of well-meaning friends. As in the case of Harry White, that is often the beginning of many headaches.

(This column, based on Texas law, is written to inform—not to advise. No person should ever apply or interpret any law without the aid of an attorney who knows the facts, because the facts may change the application of the law.) )• •(

killer In Retreat Those who suffer from diseases of the heart and blood vessels — estimated to number more than 10,000,000 in the United States -,- have many blessings to count. Foremost among them are the hope, promise and indeed the actual achievements of heart research.

Let us review some of the major gains of heart research, especially those uncovered within the last nine years — during which the American Heart Association and its affiliates have channeled . nearly $20,000,000 into research.

We now know that rheumatic fever, frequently forerunner of rheumatic heart disease, is usually preventable if parents cooperate with physicians in Promptly treating sore throats caused by streptocOcall infection. Furthermore, recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever — carryingwith them the danger of cumulative heart damage --= can be controlled through proper use of antibiotics or sulfa drugs. These simple facts, with such deep significance for parents, have not yet received the attention they deserve.

Application of existing knowledge could make rheumatic heart disease a rarity.

In addition to this important advance, those with heart valves scarred by rheumatic fever now have operations available that restore the valves to reasonable function. New, remarkable advances in cardiac surgery also make it

Vt STNiK — WEST, TEXAS possible to correct inborn defects of the heart and its great vessels.

What of coronary thrombosis—"heart attack?" What can give comfort here?

Not many years ago, people thOught that heart attack was a death sentence, and that the few who survived were invalided for life. We know now that about 70 per cent or more survive these attacks and do so for long periods — sometimes for many years, often into and beyond their normal life expectancy. Advances in treatment and rehabilitation have prolonged the lives of many victims.

In arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries — the disorder that sets the stage for heart attack — there are several hopeful facets. First, physicians and scientists are now determined to find the cause and treat it, rather than concern themselves merely with the effects of arteriosclerosis. Secondly, acttive research is being carried forward in this field, much of it made possible by the American Heart Association. Many promising clues have been developed and are now being pursued.

What of hypertension or high blood pressure? We can set no D-Day for announcement of the cure of this disorder, which occurs in a wide variety of disease, with varying modes of treatment.

Several good drugs are available for patients with high blood pressure, and are now bringing relief to many thousands of sufferers. The most dramatic and dangerous variety, malignant hypertension, if treated early enough, can in many cases be halted.

Against this background, we have every reason to be proud of our accomplishments, and hopeful that medical science will achieve substantial victories in prevention and treatment of the heart diseases within the lifetime of many of us. We must not falter now A great responsibility rests on all of us to keep the scientist at his work of say ing your heart and mine.

mrnigration and Naturalization

Wednesday, September, 10, 1958 zation, and the erliest date that I can apply for naturalization?

ANSWER: In order to be eligible fot naturalization, you will have to entet the United States as a lawful permanent resident. Once you have clone that, there is no period of residence required in your case, assuming that your husband is still employed by the United States Government abroad. Generally speaking, the spouse of a United States citizen is eligible for naturalization after residing in the United States three years after legal entry for permanent. residence, if living in marital union with the citizen spouse for the entire period.

In cases likd yours, however, the law has eliminated any Particular residence requirement and you therefore can be naturalized at any time after legal entry, and therefore return at once to your husband. You will have to make a statement before the naturalization court that you intend to take up residence within the United States immediately upon the termination of your hasband's employment abroad.

QUESTION: 'I am an American citizen. My wife arrived in the United States early in 1957 as a student. We were married three months after her arrival. She was told that since she had not been in the United States for one year prior to her marriage, she cannot adjust her status under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Is is really necessary for her to go back to her home country? The expense would be prohibitive for us.

ANSWER: There is a procedure which is available to your wife called voluntary departure and preexamination. This procedure permits the alien to apply fo1 immigration and to have his applicatiort processed, while in this country. Until recently it was available only to persons who had resided in the United States prior to January 1, 1957, but it has now been extended to the spouses and minor children of American citizens regardless of the date of their arrival in the United States. Accordingly, your wife can apply for this procedure and will later be able to pick up her immigration visa at a consulate in Canada. She should however, consult an expert, either a social agency or an attorney, in connection with this matter.

QUESTION: My husband is an Amerisan citizen who is employed in Germany in the service of the United States government.
