Texans Like Life It will be late fall before the full story of Texas insurance during 1957 can be told. But a hurried spot check of company, reports filed with the State Board of Insurance suggests that 1957 was by far the biggest year to date in the sale of life insurance in Texas.

Unofficial figures compiled by the Life Insurance Agency Management Association report that Texans bought 24 per cent more life insurance in 1957 than during the prior year. Two of the largest Texas companies reported gains of 46 per cent and 52 per cent.

An industry-wide analysis of 1957 will have to wait until sometime this summer when the voluminous detailed reports of the 1,880 companies operating in Texas can be studied and tabulated by the Insurance Board. But the figures available to date give no indication of any change in the typical Texan's preference of Texas companies in the face of the so-called "scandals" which have proven a dubious vehicle for political figures to achieve notoriety.

As of last August 31 there were 1,187 Texas companies licensed to operate and during the year ending that date one lone new life insurance company was admitted to do business along with nine mutual assessment companies for a grand total of 10 for the year. Gone foreever is the notion that the road to fast riches is through organizing a new insurance company. By 1936 the Texas Legislature had laid down a new set or stringent rules notably adding to capital requirements for formation of new companies. Old companies were given a Period of time to comply and most them have now done so through the expedient of aggressive and conservative management, although some have found it more convenient and practical to accomplish the same result through n.7e.rgers to achieve the required minimum of capital structure and insurance in force.

There is no industry in Texas which

That's a good question. And after 61 years in the life insurance business, we the SPJST know the answer.

And the answer is as follows: People of character buy Life Insurance! That's the answer in six short words!

Generally, persons who purchase life insurance are those same thrifty, prudent souls who support the American economy through putting aside in banks and Life Associations.

They are the persons who know that one never gets something for nothing and that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

They are the people generously endowed with this spirit which impelled our pioneer Czech ancestors to cross the seas, prairies, the spirit of self-reliance, in which courage, faith and hard work are inherent — perhaps some blood, sweat and tears, also.

has been subject to as much legislative investigation ov drawn innocently into as many political controversies as insurance. It has been in the cross fire of personality conflicts in govenment. Candidates for office ranging from constable to the United States Senate have used insurance in one way or another for campaign fodder.

Other than being a whipping boy, Texas insurance has kept clear of politics. The further removed this vital industry can stay from the shifting balances of political power the better it is for Texas. The industry has found that it can live with and grow under any set Primarily, men and women purchase rules laid down by law and it asks he insurance because they have enough cf character to provide for the future of only that thas, e rules be fairly and im- their families and themselves, come partially administered.

"Living Benefit" Payments "Living benefits" in Texas to policyholders themselves from their life insurance companies were $130,134,000 in 1957, which was 56 per cent of the year's total life insurance benefit payments to the families of this state, the Institute of Life Insurance reports.

These payments were in addition to $102,192,000 of death benefits paid in 1957 to the families of this state and compare with payments of $115,152,000 in "living benefits" the year before. The living benefits include matured endowments, annuity payments, disability benefits, cash surrender values paid out and dividends to policyholders.

Last year the total of all payments to policyholders and beneficiaries in this state amounted to $232,326,000 compared with $200,831,000 the year before.

"The use of life insurance benefit dollars for the policyholders' own living needs has increased materially in recent years," Holgar J. Johnson, Institute president, commented. "More and more families have been setting up life insurance programs which call for specific living benefits as well as the basic death benefits. These living benefits have now become an important part of the flow of life insurance funds to American families and will probably be increasingly important in the future. For the country as a whole, well over $4,000,000,000 is now going to living policyholders annually as benefit payments, three times the annual figure at the end of World War II." • 4, .0

throught mechanisms utilizing existing systems of voluntary prepayment. And it believes that any government participation in meeting these needs should be so devised as to strengthen the voluntary prepayment systems.

Actually, notable progress is being made in dealing withmedical care for senior citizens. In an article in Changing. Times, the Kiplinger Magazine, describes a number of developments. To take one example, an insurance company now offers a policy available only to people between 51 and 75. It provides hospital and surgical coverage at moderate cost and is renewable for life.

We can solve theis medical care problem without succumbing to socialism. gt. )

Notes From District III Meeting In Ennis The District III Meeting of the SPJST held in Lodge 25, Hall in Ennis, Texas on Sunday, September 14, was called to order at 11:00 a.m. by District III President, Brother Emil Petr of Dallas. Brother Alphonse Gurecky, President of the Ennis Lodge No. 25, welcomed all of the brotherhood and their friends to the lodge and bade them have a successful meeting and a good time. The local Boy Scout Unit presented the Flag and they lead in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Sister Wilma Nesuda, District III Secretary, read the minutes of the District Meeting which was held in Fort Worth, at Lodge 92. Minutes were approved as read.

District 'III Treasurer, Brother J. D. Waggoner, gave his report on the amount of money in the District Treasury.

Roll call revealed some "misses" in our ranks. To those lodges ih our District III with no representation, please know that we missed you and that the strongest chain is only as strong os its weakest links and that we do not like missing links in our chain of District lodges, for they miss out on informative material as well as the inspiration that one gleans from our District Meetings, which in turn is important for the progress of every lodge in our District. Won't you try to make it next time?

Then followed the report of our officers and ,directors: District III Director, Brother Eobert Cervenka complimented the Youth Directors as well as the Organizers of District III for their outstanding job in behalf of our youth. He thanked the organizers for the nice showing they have made thus far in the sale of insurance, leading the districts, stating that, "District III wrote a little over one-third of all the insurance in the state of Texas.

Sister Anna Milan, our top woman organizer in the state of Texas, wrote 73 members thus far in 1958, the largest number of members.

Brother Joe B. Hejny, Vice President of the Supreme Lodge, stated that he always believed in giving credit where credit is clue. "We have some wonderful workers all over the state of Texas," Brother Hejny said, "but when we pinpoint them down, as overall workers, by main lodge workers, cooperating in the lodge, the cooperation with and among the Youth Directors and with the

cooperation between the organizer and the district organizer, and the members of the lodge with the organizer, I think District III is in first place."

Brother Hejny touched lightly upon the new classes of Juvenile protection that is 'available, and then named' four organizers in District III winning the new Fountain Pen Prize. Brother Hejny gave recongnition to the fathers and mothers also, of the children who bring their youngsters, out which without their support we could not accomplish what we are accomplishing today. Brother Hejny complimented the District Organizer, Arnold Vrla, as well as the individual , organizers, saying they were a conscientious lot that if their hearts were not in their work, they would not be in it plus the satisfaction he personally derives from a well done job especially when some one of his policies is brought up for payment by some widow.

Brother Jarma, Vice-President of Lodge 84, also manager of the Soft Ball team of Lodge 84, who has donated a lot of time and effort to his team. "This may not seem so important to some of us, but brothers and sisters, it is a tremendous devotion on the part of Brother Jarma. He had to give this a lot of his tim, time deprived himself and his family and of the pleasures his family would otherwise enjoy and he has made a very nice showing with this team as well as giving our Order some excellent advertising." Brother Ben Jarma was awarded a Fountain Pen Prize for his efforts with his ball club. Brother Hejny congratulated Lodge 84 on their backing of their young leader, for he could not have done it alone. (Editor's Note: Bro. Jarma is one of our best ReporterS, too.)

Concluding, Brother Hejny said: "We can be very proud in District III of the Fraternal Spirit in which we all work together."

President Petr, -responded to ,Brother Hejny's compliments for his efforts in behalf of the organizers saying: "We love you very much." The applause corroborated BrOther Petr's expression.

Brother Joe Skrabanek, introduced simply as "Brother Joe" stated: "We are very happy to be here from District V, to be with you again today and to see the way the "Contest" is going. Jokingly: "I thought I had better come and get a good meal for ,,vhen the contest is over, we are Being to have to feed you." Bro. Skrabanek complimented District 'Organizer Arnold Vrla on the wonderful work he was doing in his District saying: "I think you are doing a, wonderful job here and wish you the best of luck and success."

Wedne7day, September 7.4, 1958.

Brother (Ludy Shercik of Houston Lodge- 88, spoke in the capacity of a visiting member from District V, Lodge Pokrok 88, wishing the meeting good luck and inviting everyone to the District V Meeting which is to be held October 5th.

Brother Shefcik also complimented the organizers as well as the District Youth Directors for their outstanding job.

The Editor confining himself to a few remarks calling Ennis his old "home when he came to America, recalling the early social life of the Ennis Czechs, saying that where this Hall now stands, they danced in the old Hall to lanterns and when the wind was high, they had to shut the windows during the dance, so that the coal oil lamps would not blow out. Brother Hosek also complimented the Youth for their outstanding performance in this Hall on Youth Day last June, stating that he still enjoys thinking of it. "If you that were not present, could all have seen our young sters perform, you would agree that we are now doing some good work."

Sister Emma Ceska, District III Youth Director then addressed the brother hood. "It is again a nice treat to meet with the people of Ennis. We always enjoy ourselves as does everyone, if you will but look around. These sisters are to be complimented for their efforts and time in making the lodge such an attractive place. Sister CeSka cited an incident of her home lodge where the lodge Youth Director held a party for the lodge children and their non-member friends. Approximately 30 came.

That night seven non-member children joined the Lodge. "Bring your non-member children in, they will become inter ested, join and in turn brings their friends in and your Lodge membership will continue to grow. Again, it is wonderful to see our Youth here today."

Sister Bessie Petr, Assistant Youth Director of District III, and beloved in her own Lodge 84 as Youth director, talked about the Lodge 84 picnic. "We have had to divide our youth into two groups, the Youth and the Teen-Agers.

I have a lot of good help in my Lodge 84," Sister Petr said. "Our Teen-Age Division requires a little more time. We are looking for activity at least once a week to keep them happy. Last summer we kept the lodge open one night a week where they learned the Reseda. They loved it so much, they wanted to continue. Last summer we went to the Wiley Dude Ranch. All activity is chaperoned by parents, alternating, so that we have standing chaperones."

"I want to thank the Supreme Lodge for the Point System under which the Teen-Age group operates. I don't have

Wedne7day, September 24, 1958 any trouble n getting anyone to take an office because they get a point for that.

At the present time we have a Princess Contest going on. We have four girls here today. This is our second annual selection of a Queen." Sister Petr acknowledked Sister Ceska's assistance in the District III Youth Director Team which made the Youth Day such a success.

Sister Libbie Parma, Youth Director of Lodge 66, Waco, introduced the officer of their youth group who was present at the meeting. Sister Parma, too, spoke highly of the Point System which she says is working nicely.

Sister Dolfie Hrabina, Youth Director of Lodge 25, was busy in the kitchen assisting the sisters there but came out to bid us all welcome and her best wishes for a successful meeting.

Sister Maxine Shefcik, one of the team of three in District V, also spoke briefly to the gathering.

Sister Mary Renfrow, Youth Director of Lodge 154, Ft. Worth, was also present to represent her Youth.

Sister Wilma Nesuda, District III Secretary, summarized the work in the District, stating that our example is being followed up by some other Districts and that as long as others follow us, we are on the right track.

Brother Trojacek, our second VicePresident of District III, commented that we had good leaders and what we needed most is to be good followers.

Brother Sid Pokladnik, first VicePresident of District III, congratulated the District Youth Directors, Sisters EmIna Ceska and Bessie, Petr, and all the other youth leaders that had any part on the Youth Day held at Lodge 25, on June 29, 1958. "It was something that the children liked; something they are still talking about. The best answer as to the success for the children's full day affair was when night came, the children still wanted to go on. They liked the manner in which it was presented to them, and I think we should have a Youth Day at least once a year to keep our youngsters in touch with our SPJST so that they will know what the SPJST really means. They are our future leaders and we have to train them so that they will realize that the SPJST really means something." Brother Pokladnik then congratulated the Soft Ball Club of Lodge 84 of Dallas. "We cannot fully appreciate the effects that you get inbeing a leader in 84. We have a manager of our Ball Club who is keeping the Club active, our Vice-President of Lodge 84, Brother Ben Jarma, who has not only had a great Ball Club but has advertised the SPJST in the state of Texas.

efforts of Brother Joe B Hejny to make the Youth Program a success. Brother Marek then delved a little into the organizational work and into the new policies offered our membership.

'We have to give our Youth Directors credit for improving the programs which can be seen to become better -at every meeting," Brother Marek said complimenting the Lodge Youth Leaders.

Brother Marek then gave a summation of his speech in Czech for the benefit of those members who cannot grasp the English language fluently.

The queetion of whether or not the Order would sponsor another Insurance Selling Course at the Southern Methodist 'University in Dallas, brought reassurance that if SMU does have the course some of our SPJST organizers would be present. The course would be announced at a later date.

Brother Steiner bids that the membership read the Report of the Secretary of the State of Texas. Local lodges should request that lodge secretaries read this report in their meeting.

Brother Alvin Nesuda brought up the desirability- of having Identification cards for the membership, billfold size, to which several speakers contributed their thinking and experiences with such cards.

It was stressed that the ED. cards amid serve as an admission ticket to free lodge dinners, and other activities, which would eliminate non-members, or those in "not good standing" with their lodge premium payments. Concensus of minds agreed that the ED. cards, for the time being could be tried out on the individual lodge level, and when enough Lodges and Districts endmed the use of I.D. cards, then the Supreme Lodge could be approached to provide blank cards to be issued once to the members under the valid signature of lodge secretary and president.

This was a very nice decision and very informative as well as Democratic.

Sister Neuseda brought up the question of Calendars from the SPJST Headquarters level, stating that they were a source of fine advertisement of our Order, especially if the membership with a business would display them in their places of business.

Brother 'Steiner brought out another thought: that of mimeographing Article 120 and Article 132 from our By-laws en a slip of paper to insert into each /lew policy presented each new member, stressing that it be read. It deals with payment of policy premiums on which some policies become in arrears and which would automatically expell the member at the end of the month.

for a youth Program in their Lodge.

When the lodge program is successful, this District is a success. We do think a thing that will work out nicely — there will be a lot of discussion but we will work with you.. I think that it is something that our young boys and girls like working in. The Youth leaders were then granted milage from the Districts to meetings to work out this prograth.

Brother Arnold Vrla commented on the above mentioned program, as did Brother Pokladnik, saying, "Up until the time we had these Districts, this goes to show you that in a few years what the District can do."

Brother Hosek, said, "Years ago, it was hard for our organizers to work for they were not generally recognized. These Districts have brought about that they are now respected and their importance acknowledged. Brother Hosek, presented Brother Emil Popp of Lodge Jaromir No. 54 of West, Texas, who has been an organizer for some 35 years in our Order.

"Brother Popp has clone some outstanding work in our Order and we should all recognize these organizers." Brother Hosek then stated "These Districts have brought us together and got our Youth working with us. We should support them and invite them to our meetings.

We should support the District Princesses program everywhere, so that with their help we will secure new membership for our Order." On that basis I am 100 per cent for it, he concluded.

Sister Emma Ceska, moved that the crowning of the District Queen would highlight an All-iDay Youth Activity Program, the time to be announced later. Passed. A sum of money from the District Treasury was then moved, seconded for this project. The Youth Activity Day was voted upon invitation, to be held at Lodge 84 Dallas, date to be announced Brother Joe Hejny, who is in charge of later. the Youth Program from the Headquarters level said: "I think this is one of The selection of a five member Nomi our most important steps .indeveloping nating Committee from the floor folour Youth Clubs and our Youth. We lowed, with the following members acare going to some expense with the cepting chairs in the Committee: Brothactivity of our Youth in this District ers Ed Mazanec of Lodge 66; John Hraband just as Lodge 84 believes, we should ina of Lodge 25; Otto Harms of Lodge try to capitalize on what we are doing 66; John Becan of Lodge 154; and Ben so that we should have something for Jarma of Lodge 84. the extra efforts and expenses that we The next Meeting of District III was are spending on these Programs and I voted to be held at Lodge 66, Linden Hall think this will enable us to gain a lot at Waco, at their kind invitation, the of new insurance. District V is also to date of which will be announced later have a Princess and Queen Contest in for next year. their District next year."

With the singing of "Kde Domov Muj" Sister Emma Ceska, District III Youth the Czech Hymn in honor of our older Director, pledged her support, to work Czech membership, the Meeting came to out the program for the District III a successful conclusion to the sound of Princess Program. "It takes the work Brother Petr's gavel. and hard work of all good sisters; the The Editor and wife want to thank mothers and fathers of lodges who work all of you for the many compliments and

"There are too many members who do not read their certificates," Brother Steiner said, "but that would be a good reminder to the new member how to pay or 'out you go.' "I think our own lodge is going to print this slip of paper for our own certificates for it will be for our own benefit."

Brother Sid Pokladnik brought up the matter of District Princesses and Queens. "This matter has been brought up in the District Meeting before but was tabled. Our Lodge 84 in Dallas is having such a contest with the crowning of a Queen for the second consecutive year, the pulmination of the contest with a Coronation Dance, and by a token of this function the lodge has increased its membership and insurance.

Last Year's contest, for example, sold $30,000 of insurance, due to the fact that these young ladies have to go out and find a prospect, tell an organizer of her lodge about the prospect, and when the organizer sells the prospect, that particular Princess receives 1000 points for each $1,000 insurance sold. She receives an additional 500 points for each new member and 50 points for every renewal.

Our Queen is selected not for her riches her beauty or talent, but for her honest and hard work for her lodge in securing new insurance. The 27th. of September we hold our Coronation Dance to crown the Queen for 1958 among our Princesses, who have already thus far, given our Lodge a lot of new insurance." Brother Brother Steiner hade a motion that the question of District Princesses and crowning of District -Queen be turned over to the District III Youth Leaders, to work out a program to have such Princesses and a Queen. It was moved and seconded that we have a District Princess and Queen Contest next year.

To Organizers In District Seven, SPJST Dear Sisters and Brothers: As you probably know from Brother Joe B. Hejny, our Vice President, from September 1st, 1958, I have been appointed as District organizer for District seven.

monthly average of $40,000. it is nothing impossible. Our district has 26 organizers that means, if exerybody will write just just $1,500 new insurance in each of the four months we have to go, then the situation will be saved and we will have a good reason for a big party. Just let us determine that we will do our part, as is our obligation. Let us not stand idly by and depend upon others, but all do our individual share in securing new members. Let's start right now, today, let's study and discuss all the problems we'll meet and let's share our experience with others. We must not, in the organizational work, overlook the importance of education based on experience. The result of combined experiences and knowledge is what we are striving for. We all belong to different ledges, but we all are striving for the same result. If you all are willing to cooperate, there is no limit to the advantage we may gain by working together.

Meet the challenge of the membership drive and-make a record by contacting every eligible person in your territory.

If you are having any difficulty in your work, maybe I can help you. Just write me for help and advice in any of your problems.

I am looking forward to our teamwork and I wish you all a lot of success.

LODGE PRAHA 29, TAYLOR, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Si:,ters: Our Lodge Frain,. held its regular meeting last Sunda y athrnoon at 2:00 p.m. Brother Reuben ,nesikar opened the meeting followed by Brother L. A. Bondny's reading of the minutes of the last meeting. Then Brothers Ben Mikolaj and Frank 1-1'sj1 gave 'their local report and Brother Edwin KOvar gave the report for the Pronely Committee.

This past month we lost two members Brother Ed. Lightner, and one of our younger members brother Roy Kropp, who was only 24 years old. Brother Kropp lost his life tragically, being accidentally electroeuted while blasting prayer by in his work. A minute's . our membership followed these two beloved brothers.

To the happier side of the news: We have one me viber non' on the waiting list. We also had fo', 1' Visitors from the local SPJST Home at our meeting.

They were: Mr. Lesikar, Mr. Danek, and Mr. and Mrs. Kalousek. They all like living in the Rest Horne and enjoyed

VASTNtK WEST. TEXAS coming to our meeting while we were very glad to have them cone and visit with us.

The Property Committee brought a piano, so now you youngsters can come and ploy for us at our next District Meeting and perhaps win a prize! We are all looking forward to seeing you at this next District which will be held on October 10th. Please remember this date!

After OUV meeting adjourned. , the sisters prepared a good lunch which was enjoyed by all We missed Sister Ben Mikolaja, who was confined to her home nursing a bad cold and sore throat. We all hope she feels better shortly.

Again thanks to all who were present at our last meeting, with best regards I am Fraternally, Mrs. Frank Pokorny NFPDVILLE LODGE NO. 81 Dear Sisters and Brothers, As you all know our Lodge was to ha ,ve its annual Picnic on Sept. 7, but due to the had weather it was postponed till a later d-ate.

On September 1, we had our monthly ireeting and agreed to have our picnic on September j28, 1958.

So again we want to invite our SPJST members and their friends to come and help us celebrate on that day.

We will have and all-day celebration with dinner beginning at 11 o'clock consisting; of barbecued pork ., sausage, and chicken and all the trimmings, entertaimnent all day long and a dance at night.

So don't forget that day ,September 28, 1958. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Hope to see you there, Fraternally yours, Sidne.y Blinka 1 • Qj.9 • WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: It's so cool here today that a light jacket feels comfortable. I've been transcribing my shorthand notes all morning from the District III Meeting -which was held last Sunday, September 14 in Ennis; wrote some overdue answers to letters; and am unwinding like a spring in a clock.

AS you can read from the Notes From Ennis, we had a very nice meeting. I'm thinking about it wonderin g] if I got everything down. 1 was especially sorry to hear that Sister Binnie Bartek of Lodge 92, v,Tas unable to come because of illness. Sister Bartek was the one who gave us the Pickled Onion Rings recipe in last week's Vestnik. Time's waisting, gal, shake off your illness, there's sp

much going on in our brotherhood now that you and Brother Joe are missing.

The crops are in, and very good, farmers are flush with cash which should make insurance selling easier than it has been with them for many years, there are celebrations, reunions, dances of all description, picnics are being planned, now's the time to have some fun! Please get well!

Rain threatened us the other day, so I rushed into town bought seed for my fall vegetable garden; rushed home and literally threw the seed into the row so that the rain would help it come up fast, now we have rain — so now I don't have to water it. I've put in spinach, beets, carrotts, letuce, squash, swiss chard (winter tonic) some Kentucky wonder beans which just might make before a killing frost comes, even some blackeye peas I had left over.

May I suggest to you that now is a good time to buy the new-crop of butter beans to cook up with a nice chunk of salt pork and store in your deep freezer for future use. It's about time to clean out a lot of odds and ends in your deep freezer for „summer left overs etc. I only own a snarl freezer in 'my refrigerator, but this summer I had it chuck full of garden stuff which I've eaten down to nothing, so I'm starting with, butter beans, filling the freezer up again. They keep well and are so handy or one can thaw them in a jiffy and they are so good for a quick meal.

For the lunch box may 1 give you homemakers a thrifty and delicious sandwich filling? It is made of sardines!

Sardines, we are told are rich in vitamins is and D and in Iodine, Calcium, Iron, and phosphorus, and they add zest and appetite appeal to a tired menu.

To a can of sardines, oil poured off to avoid the too fishy smell, mash, add from three to six hard boiled eggs (depending upon the quantity needed) chopped fine, with a tablespoon of prepared mustard (this too can be thinned down with mayonnaise) to taste. This is a delicious filling for sandwiches and can be used for appetizers and cocktails as well.

• Again, with the addition of Tobaseo, salt and mayonnaise to mashed egg yolks, delicious stuffed eggs become a welcomed treat.

For; a vegetable salad consisting of three cups of shredded , cabbage: 1 large Garrott, also shredded; 2 medium-sized apples, finely chopped; 1 can sardines; 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar; one tea,spoon salt and 34 teaspoon prepared mustard, combined together after having drained the oil off the sardines, makes a fine serving for four. you will

Wednesday, September 24, 1958 jind this economical eating.

With cool . weather coining on, brings to mind soup time, which in turn calls for lentils. Lentil soup made like green pea puree soup delicious! Lentils are small, flat, round, brown colored legumes like a small split pea; high in protein (making it a very popular meat substitute) and a very popular fare of our Czechoslovak ancestors. It is grown there very prolifically. Most super markets in America handle them, so may I suggest you try them if you don't know what they are. They may be cooked like a green pea puree soup; like pinto beans with a bit of garlic; or stewed by cooking .slowly until tender in water with salt and butter added while cooking. If desired an onion may be added and then removed when done. One pound of lentils gives you six servings.

Your Editor and I like theM stewed, with a touch of garlis; served with eggs fried in butter for a Meatless meal. Some folks like the lentils stewed with a touch of vinegar for zest. This is the legume your mother may have referred to as chochka in Czech, and replaces the American beans in the Czech menu.

- I suppose a lot of you girls with school children, and grandchildren in school are busy sewing school clothes for those sProuting youngsters in your family.

During the summer, they lived in shorts and swim suits or sun suits and now, suddenly, you realize that they've shot up and can't get into their clothes. In making new clothing, won't you keep in mind the beautifully designed corduroy materials now showing in the stores for school clothing. While the seams have to be bound to keep from fraying badly, the material has style, warmth; launders easily, and is popular with the school set. Plaids, too, are very much in evidence this year. The bonnie lassies in plaid skirts and blouses look like Scottish baby dolls. The plaids are cheerful for the somber winter weather. Even your Editor has gone to plaids in his shirts and I think they look very i neat.

Our fraternal brotherhood is full of surprises in the way of activities! Look at the calendar and try to attend some of these functions. For instance, the Harvest Dance at Lodge 92 in Fort Worth on Roberts Cut•off, that the Youth is giving and better known in the older Czech circles as "Vinobrani," smacks with fun and good time. Here the Hall, as I remember it, used to be decorated with clusters of grapes, apples, oranges, any fruit in season, from an overhead arbor and while the crowd danced under this temptingly-hung fruit, a squad of policewomen and policemen with

Wednesday, September 24, 1958 badges, caps and whistles, watched the harvest. If a hand snatched a piece of fruit, into the calaboose, (the modern expression is pokey) one went if the fixed fine of five or ten cents couldn't be paid. Fines were administered by bespectacled-judge who justly fixed the fines to one's ability to pay. Oftentimes, a young man looking for his lady for a dance, first had to bail her out of jail or when and when the jail was too crowded with prisoners and threatening to burst at the seams, the judge rapped for donors to by out dance partners. The jail was a most popular place.

There was a lot of merriment, sportsmanship, and the nickles and dimes went for some worthy project. After most of the fruit was gone and the fruit snatching grew tiresome, dancing and visiting continued and for an unforgettable evening in the best of tradition and fellowship.

There are many bazaars going on, too, in our Texas Czech activities. This suggests a fine opportunity to start, picking up appropriate gifts for someone's Christmas gift, like a beautiful crocheted doily, chair set, pillow cases, aprons, jars of delicious canned foods, and other handmade objects so much appreciated by the homemaker at Christmastime.

So. dear girls, get that man of yours out and enjoy sonic of these projects going on while the weather is so beautifully cool, and delightful, this time of the year when everyone is glad to be alive. Do come!

Before I close, may I inquire "What's become of dear Rose Helwig? Long time no hear, Rose, won't you let us know how you are?"

I don't• know when I've enjoyed gabbing with you girls as much, but there must be an end to everything and I believe this must be it, so have a wonderful weekend, stay well and as always— beautiful.

and left,by plane for Germany.

From Temple to Dallas, to New York to Dublin Ireland the last stop being Frankfurt, Germany.

The school there is very modern, she writes, there are 28 school teachers there.

The main secretary is a fine Czechoslovakian born lady who plans to visit her native Czechoslovakia and Miss Gerick hopes to accompany her for the Thanksgiving holidays.

Miss Annette Gerick, her three brothers and a little sister plus her parents are all members of the SPJST Lodge Komensky o. 20 of Granger, Texas.

All the Gerick children speak our -Texas , Czech" language very well.

Respectfully submitted, Mrs, Ad. Gerick, Rt. 1 Bartlett, Texas Editor's Vote: Our best wishes and thanks! ) a 40 ( KOVAR, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: I think I will haVe to tell you all about our Lodge Osveta, No. 38 and what we are doing.

Last Sunday, Sept. 14th, we had our regular meeting and like always, the giving of the Pledge of Allegience to our Flag was said by Sister Dorothy Susan.

We had a nice crowd and we had a lot of voting in our business session.

The first thing was to repair the porch on our Hall Some wanted a wooden floor while others chose concrete, so we ,voted on it, and the concrete floor pasSed. We shall have a concrete porch.

This Monday, I saw the old wooden porch torn down: If nothing happens, we will have a new concrete porch soon.

Next was .a discussion of our Picnic and all the things that had to be done, and what all we shall have to bring. Since we lost so much time in our regular meeting on the question of the, porch, we called a special meeting to be held September 25th at 7:30 p.m. at the SPJST Hall at- Kovar. ThaVS on Thursday, so please let's all come and make the social meeting a good one to show that we too can do something and at the same time we can all talk about what to bring to our District Meeting which is to be held September 28th.

We will need some help to arrange seats and other things, , so don't be afraid — let's all pull together.

Our Picnic will he on October 5th. Supper will be Family Style, Tell all your friends about it. We will try our best to serve you well and give you ,a good time!

For our meat course, we will have turkey fryers and good home made sausage plus everything else to go with it, You will be sorry if you don't come! There

Strana 25 will be good music at night and plenty of good cold beer, and soda water.

I guess people are about finished gathering the crops and vacation time, too, is about at an end. Our daughter and son-in-law, Eugenia and Howard Schueltz of Houston had two weeks.

Would you like to know how they spent part of it? They went into the pasture to cut some cord wood fon heating, but they didn't stay there too long. God's air conditioner wasn't working and it was too hot, ha, ha!

There's a little difference in being in an air-conditioned building all day and then go out into the woods. After a week Miss Pauline Stasny came out from Houston for a week's vacation and we sure enjoyed having her with us. The other half of the week she stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stepan. On Sunday we had a delicious dinner at the Stepan's id congenial guests: Mr. and Mrs. Howard Schnitz of Houston; Mother Schultz from Smithville; Miss Pauline Stasny of Houston. We really enjoyed that Sunday.

One clay the Stepans and Miss Pauline visited with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hoffered and daughter Betty Ann of Columbus, Texas.

Miss Pauline also visited her home place, saw her mother and her godmother Mrs. Agnes Sulak who is ill. She was very glad to see Pauline.

Getting back to our meeting: we had one more vote: to elect another Financial Secretary in place of the late Brother Stan Vydrazal. So, we elected Sister Lillie Evicic. I shall try my best to do everything right and thank you all for your vote and your expressed confidence in my ability.

Once more, the Special Meeting will be September 25th at 7:30 p.m. — Thursday night at the SPJST Hall.

Our District Meeting will be on September 28th. and the picnic will be held October 5th, so everybody, be sure to come and enjoy yourselves. I hope the weather is nice.

Now, some other news: Brother Edwin Brush and his wife are leaving Thursday Sept. 13th for Colorado, Springs, Colorado, to visit their daughter and family, Clara and. George Vacek. George hon.; been transferred from Austin, to Colorado so we hope they will have a delightful trip.

Dear' Brothers and Sisters: The SPJST DISTRICT III meeting held in Ennis at the National Hall on Sunday, September 14th, was well attended by members of our District, visitors from Other Districts and by quite a large number of youth. The members of the Ennis Lodge are to be compliment d for the efficient manner in which every detail wa-,s carried out. We sincerely appreciated the hospitality and enjoyed the meeting very much.

Main discussions were centered on our Youth. As Youth Director I feel we should be proud to belong to such a fraternal order that is aware of the needs for planning for our youth. We feel that with encouragement of all our 'Supreme Lodge Officers, District OfticerS,'Editor' and members attending that Our youth activities will 'groW and will be a ,success among our Lodges. The Youth LeaderS of the local Lodges have done a wonderful job in their youth work. They are very important officers of the Lodge. It is through their planned efforts and hard work that meetings and Socials are made attractive tor our youth which encourages them to attend our SPJST activities.

We are very'haPpy to announce that District III will have another Youth Activity Day sometime in June 1959, the exact date to be decided upon later. Activities °will will be held at Lodge 84 Hall in Dallas. As a climax to the Youth Activity Day, there. will be a princess contest, with the crowning of the SPJST District III Queen during the dance planned for that evening. A meeting will be held in the near future at which time rules of the contest will be adopted. All details will be announced in the Vestnik so Y i teh for dates, rules,. etc.

The Program presented by the Youth from the Lodges in Ennis was very ehod and I know everyone enjoyed it

very much.

The next District III Meeting will be held at Waco Lodge 66 Linden Hall in Elm Mott, exact date to be announced later. We will try-to plan a nice day and will be looking forward to seeing you and your friends at our Lodge Hall on that date.

With best wishes to all our Lodges for a successful yOuth program, I remain Fraternally yours, Emma Ceska, Youth Director, SPJST .District III )• •( MAMMA LOVES BABY! I would like to pass on to you an idea I noticed prevalent in the last two District III gatheringS, though I'm sure it was unintenttional and went unnoticed, where the six seven and eight year old girls playing "Mamma" to their dolls which they took along to the SPJST Meeting.

The inherent instinct of little girls make Ahem perfect mammas to their babies and instead of screaming and running about rampant, and disturbing the business session, these tiny women, these "sugar and spice and everything nice" that little girls are supposed to be made of, played quietly, visiting each other to discuss their babies, etc.

It brought to my mind the old (ugly by today's standards) -doll which I owned as a little girl. A, rag doll. All of the love and devotion I was capable of feeling went out to that doll. How I loVed being her mamma! Today's dolls have plastic skin which feels smooth and soft and pink just like a real baby's .Some dolls can go to sleep, some cry but all of them are helpless in the eyes of their Mammas and need their care.

You might suggest bringing dollie to your next Meeting to entertain the little women in your lodge circle.

Naturalization Question: I am applying for American citizenship. One of the questions on the citizenship application is whether the applicant has ever been arrested or convicted of a crime. I was once arrested for a minor offense more than 15 years ago, but the charge against me was dismissed without any penalty. Do I have to include this arrest on my application?

Answer: Yes. Great care shotild be taken to answer every question in the citizenship application accurately and honestly. Under the naturalization law, citizenship may be revoked at any time for concealment of a material factor or for willful misrepresentation in connection with any part of the naturalization proceedings. Such a revocation could make a person "stateless," that is, a man without a country, and cause great hardship to him and his family.

While it is not possible to define fully what constitutes a concealment or misrepresentation which may result in revocation of naturalization, many omissions can bring such a result — for example, failure to tell about an absence from the United States, or a criminal record or an arrest; or misrepresentation about the applicant's marital status or his political beliefs. You should answer all questions on the application, fully and to the best of your ability. are

Life Insurance funds are becoming an increasing „source of capital in countries throughout the world, gains in many countries outpacing that in the United States, the Institute of Life Insurance says.

Citing statistics from 15 countries as reported by the International Monetary Fund, the Institute shows that life inSurance assets increased from 1950 to 1955, last year for which these figures are available, in all countries but three at a rate grater than the U, S. gain.

In the U. S. the 5-year rise was 41 per cent with only Canada's 37 per cent Switzerlond's 34 per cent, and Denmark's 29 per cent being less. Japan showed the greatest per centage of gain, 493 per cent, with Chile up 254 per cent, Germany 116 per cent, Belgium-Luxembourg 88 per cent, Ecuador 71 per cent, the Neatherlands 59 per cent, Sweden and South Africa each 58 per cent, New Zealand 57 per cent, India 53 per cent, United Kingdom 40 per cent.

"This, rapid growth of life insurance funds at work in the national economies over the world offers an encouraging dynamic factor in the world economy,' Holgar J. Johnson, Institute president said. "As families in all countries expand their own fa :illy financial security through life insurance, they automatically create a growing reservoir of funds for investment in both government and business needs of their countries."

The pattern of investment of these growing assets not only varies widely by country, but also shows material shifts in. trend during this 5-year period, the Institute says.

The share of total assets invested in national goVernment securities, 10 per cent in the U.S. in 1955, ranged from, 1 per cent in Ecuador and 2 per cent in Japan to 41 per cent in India. The share in financing for local governments, 2 per cent in the U. S., ranged from nothing in Chile and 5 per cent in India to 27 per cent in the Netherlands. Financing of private business and industry, including all mortgages, accounting for 76 per cent of U.S. life company assets, ranged from 8 per cent in Chile to 56 per cent in Canoda. Real estate. 3 per cent of U.S. assets, ranged as high as 30 per cent in Chile.

Numerous sharp shifts in portfolios are shown in some countries. In japan, for instance, the investment in local government securities rose from 1 per cent to 23 per cent of assets in these five years. In India, financing for business and industry rose from 17 to 26 per cent, in New Zealand from 27 to 49 percent.

"It is clear froni the figures that the countries, throughout the world, these growing funds accumulated back of life insurance policies are being used to meet the financing needs of the countries as the pattern may change from year year," the Institute said.

Averaging the percentage distributions of the 15 counties, this over-all pattern of investment in 1955 was shown: national government securities, 16 per cent local government securities, 12 per cent, corporation securities and mortgages 46 per cent, miscellaneous, 18 per cent. . )* ( THOSE WHO LIE DOWN WITH DOGS, SAID FRANKLIN, GET UP WITH FLEAS You may have become "Morally responsible" at the age of twelve, or even at the age of six, but you were in wise to blame for what your early environment did to you. From the day of your birth until you were 16 or thereabouts, every. adult in your vicinity made assaults upon your personality and shap:ed and twisted it to match his own notion of perfection. Consicously by precept or unconsciously by example they provided the -stuff of make your character, and you absorbed it like a sponge. If you were a genius or some other kind of freak, you weren't much affected by outside influences; but if you were an ordinary mill-run youngster, bright or dull, that early environment shaped you for life. You didn't realize what was happening and couldn't have done much about it in any case, so you deserve neither credit nor blame for th,e result, But the effect of environment doesn't end at 16, Perhaps it never ends. In whatever kind of surroundings you find yourself, at 20 or 40 or any other age, you make use of the material within reach to continue building your personality. You still absorb what you touch. And although you may not realize what it is doing to you, one the responsibility is your alone, for you are free to leave it if you don't like it.

SAVING AND SPENDING are the two sides of every coin (every piece of

"folding money" too). Your success in getting ahead financially depends largely on which side you look at FIRST. If you look at the spending side first, you may never get around to the SAVING side at all. Better attend to your saving before you ever start spending. So you better attend to your saving through an adequate LIFE INSURANCE program where your Dollars will work for you and your dear ones. — Contact your local organizer or write direct to
