Reports from our Lodges, or any other Reading Matter to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue. Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

FOUNDED 1897 Postmaster: Please Send . Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P. 0. BOX 100, TEMPLE, TEL

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Fraternalism October Supreme A Fraternalist should have that little trace of God's love implanted into the Lodge Meeting As usual at this time of the year, there was a big volume of business transacted at the last Supreme Lodge meeting that was held at the headquarters last week, October 9th.

The meeting was called to order by President Marek and all of our Directors and Officers were present.

The minutes of the previous Supreme Lodge meeting were read by Secretary Chupick and were approved after some minor changes as read.

All of the important correspondence received was read and acted upon by the council, After this , the Reports of the Officers were 'brought before the meeting and the discussion of the diffrent matters was held.

We would like to assure our membership that our Directors are a conscientious group and that all the business that is brought before them is always discussed "pro and con" very diligently.

We always believe that compliments should be given where they are deserved and We honestly think that our Supreme Lodge and our Directors are entitled to some recognition.

Every once in a while as It happens in all families and groups, there arises a difference of opinion and it is only proper that ,different viewpoints are exchanged.

The only thing we would suggest is, that these differences of opininon that are usually settled in a brotherly way should not be discussed on the outside as it could be misconstrued.

Our brotherhood represents big business and you never hear for instance: bankers or big stock companies air their differences of opinion to the public. This is only good business and we hope and pray that we ga on as a happy family the way we have so far and enjoy further success and growth.

We are sorry that we neglected to mention in our Report from the meeting at Koval: that our President, Vice-

President, Secretary and Attorney were not present at Kovar as they were attending the National Fraternal Congress at Miami, Florida at that time.

We have just learned that the beautiful frame of the Charter Members at Kovar of Lodge 38 was handcarved by the late Brother John Matuska. Brother Matuska was a close friend of the late President of the Czechoslovak Republic, President Thomas Masaryk. Brother Matuska was a wood carver by trade in Czechoslovakia.

As we have said before, we will make some mistakes that we regret but it has not been neglected intentionally.

In the near future, there will be held. in Dallas at the Hilton Hotel the State Convention of the Texas Fraternal Congress. You Will hear from our Brother Hejny, Vice Precident or from Brother Marek our President who plan to attend.

Your editor will be there to give you a comprehensive report on the proceedings. Thanks!

soul to be developed as the, individual himself decides.

We may loudly proclaim our faith and attend our chosen church but if we have no charity, no compassion for our neighbors we are only as sounding brass.

—To be a true Fraternalist means, — "to love thy neighbar as thyself."

In a brotherhood as ours we should daily feel that we are twice blessed. — Our kindly deeds not only bring happiness to our brother but they also should fill our own heart with warm satisfaction that nothing else can equal.

Fraternalism is an inexhaustable quality of the soul. — I will wrap one person completely with its helpful love and include hundreds and each of them will receive just as much as the first one did, because we should all be in this great stream of loving force. The least one is also adding to this loving force this our fraternal society and the greatest force for understanding and love that we have on earth. Our churches teach us the same eternal truths. — Our fraternal societies have none but the same creeds.

All men and women can support fraternalism because following it, they enrich their awn lives and the lives of all whom they contact. If you are a true fraternalist all things become greater by dividing it. It goes out from a heart of love, benefits all whom it touches and leaves behind it, in the fraternalis's heart, just as much as that heart held.

It seeks to be of benefit for the joy of helping others. It confers a greater benefit to the giver and makes all lives finer and more beautiful as it keeps the commandment to "love thy neighbor as thyself." sip •

The second had 235.68 rooted itself quite firmly in fertile soil.

257.53 The third was a small shrub. The fourth 68.79 had grown into -a well developed plant.

99.77 71.25 The youth obeyed and with slight ef..

"Now the third one."

Twenty years ago, a group of SPJST iraternity men and women resolved to find a place upon which to locate and build themselves a better, modern, spacious and beautiful Lodge Hall, where parking would never be a problem, where youngsters could run and holler to their hearts content, where outside barbecue Picnics could be had with plenty of ,1)â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;: de, where the air would be pure and fresh, free from odors of city industry, flies, mosquitoes, stagnant water and close neighbors.

They located such a spot in the court-try on Roberts-Cut-Off Road, high on a hill overlooking Lake Worth and what is nOw known as CarsWell Air Base. At that time this tract of seven acres was outside the city limits, just off a good highway, and busline.

They built their Hall of brick, large, high 'and cool with many windows and named the new Hall the Bohemian Club.

The club became the talk of the town for fine clanees held there, swanky, was the word. They built themselves an elaborate barbecue pit, planted trees and fenced the land with a permanent chain link fence. Later they picked up their option to purchase more acres of land adjoining their seven. Being out in the country, they had to dig their own water well, build a tower and dig their own septic system. When they finished the work tInv hnd a big debt, but they worked harmoniously together, carefully super'dsing their dances to keep them well-managed to protect the good reputation the Club enjoyed. They were a success. Everybody worked free.

The Bohemian Hall as the neon sign advertised it, stuck out like a sore thumb on that hill by itself and Czech folks used to, go out riding to see this place and marvelled at the adroit step these members made to assume such a monumental debt to build such a nice place.

Now.' the Hall with its SPJST Lodge 92 emblem over the door, is surrounded by newly constructed family dwellings, beinc in the city limits, dwellings full of happy, healthy youngsters and the then monumental debt has long since been paid.. By today's standards, it was good business management and foresight on the part of the Lodge 92 fathers who undertook this venture. Many of them have left the ranks, but their work reInqins forever to remind us that good

will, courage and faith can surmount anything.

So Sunday, October 5th marked the twentieth anniversary of this building and Lodge 92 had a celebration, to honor and remenilier. all members who made the Hall possible.

The good sisters were busy in the kitchen as the Editor and wife walked in, warming up barbecued sousage, ladeling out the salads on platters, putting kolaches and other pastries out on the table, and making coffee in their big urn. Tables around the Hall were already covered with spotless white linen, comfortable chairs distributed, everthing dustless, and shining. A large Country Store was set up along one wall, with the most imaginative , assortment of items donated. Briefly, one good sister donated a quilt for raffle, another a quilt for the store, there were a couple of bushelbaskets full of groceries, canned kraut, pickels, relishes, canned goods, there was crockery for the , kitchen, plastic items for the refrigerator, potted plants, ivy, aprons, pillow cases, towels, imported basketry, ceramics of every description, lamps, several cases of Busch Bavarian, one brother made a cutting board with a large chopping knife to go with it. On the sides of this goard he engraved the occasion for his making the board: The 20th Anniversary of the Building of the SPJST Hall, Lodge 92 in Fort Worth.

It was custom finished and a wonderful and useful prize ,. One had to see all of this to really appreciate the time, money and thought that went into these valuable prizes.

Along the same wall of the Country Store, further up, were tables and chairs for the Cake Walk. The Youth Club's table with its big aluminum Deep Fry was set up here also. They were selling chances on this as a Club Project with the blessing of Lodge 92.

Everyone was in a festive mood, shaking han:?s, greeting the arrivals and visiting and introducing each other to everyone present.

Pt high noon, the meal was served to a big crowd of folks. The team of sisters in the kitchen heaped our plates high with such a. delicious array of Czech cooking and baking that everyone was more than satisfied. Our thanks to these sisters!

Brother Joe Junin, President of Lodge 92, called the meeting to order at 1:45 to introduce the visiting representatives from the ,Supre-n e Lodge, Rest Home, District III, and the editor.

Brother Editor Hosek spoke briefly in Czech and then in English, pointing out the occasion of the celebration, thanking those "who helped in any way."

Wednesday, October 15, 1958 There are but few halls in Texas that can equal this Hall," Brother Hosek said and pointed out the friendliness among the different committees and how well everything works together here. "Our officers take care of their offices and we have goad reporters that keep the public informed and it means so much for the lodge. Remember that the Vestnik is for you and that your reports let your friends, the membership and other lodges know what you are doing."

Brother Robert Cervenka, Director from District III, spoke: "It doesn't seem to me that it was twenty years ago that you sold your old lodge hall on 20th Street, close to the stock yards which was subject to overflow at various times. I don't know who is responsible in making this move but the property was sold to invest in this property. You built the Hall here which is above the average of Halls in the State of Texas.

Through the efforts of your officers, committees, members, you have accomplished some wonderful work. Lots of things have happened here since.

During the war, your lodge paid all the dues of its servicemen, paid for sick protection for the membership during the sick protection's existence. Throughout

your officers and membership there is harmonious cooperation which can accomplish anything by sticking together.

In conclusion I want to congratulate you on your fine building here and wish you every success."

Brother Sid Pokladnig from Lodge 84 Dallas, and also officer of District III, spoke briefly: "It is a pleasure for me to be here with you today. Twenty years ago, I really helped you open this Lodge Hall with my band. It brings back memories that are hard to forget." Brother Pokladnik brought greetings from District III, and best wishes. Brother Pokladnik is District III first vice-president.

Brother Charles Navratil, Director from District II, and Treasurer of the E'JST Rest Home in Taylor, Texas, I spoke in Czech saying: "I remember your old lodge hall and I am certainly glad that you managed to acquire such a fine Hall. You can be proud that you pooled your work and built such a wonderful place. Today the cost of such `<a Hall would deter you from building one.

You should be glad you had people among you here who did such fine work,

Besides we are all helping our organizers, for today we have the finest policies that can be obtained in Texas," said Brother Navratil.

Speaking of the. Rest Home, Brother Navratil stated that: "We need lots of help to pay off the present obligations.

So, brothers and sisters, I sincerely re-

Wednesday, October 15, 1958 quest that you remember the Rest Home with your contributions. I am sure that many more Homes swill be built not only in Texas but all over our country for conditions are different from that of years ago. Today's older folks fit better into such a home, it is so beautiful that the most discriminate person would not be ashamed of it. Even though you may never need it, the less fortunate ones who do need it, will appreciate your 'help."

Brother J. F. Chupick, Secretary of the Supreme Lodge spoke briefly in English and then in Czech. "I always appreciate an opportunity to come to Fort Worth to these gatherings. I think it is wonderful that we can come to a meeting like this and that is possible because we are in the United States of America. Brother Chupick then spoke of the Fraternal Congress Convention just recently held in Florida, and of the many different denominations, beliefs and financial status of Americans that make up this country, "but nevertheless we can come here and enjoy each others association and have a good time," For the benefit of the older members, brother C'hupick spoke in Czech thanking Lodge 92 officials for the invitation to the celebration, concluding with "the opportunity to again meet all of you people."

Sister Clara Cohen was introduced

by Brother President Juran as Mistress of Ceremonies of the Youth's presentation of their program.

The presentation of the skit — SPJST and what the letters stood for came first. flanked on each side of the stage by the flag-bearers.

The Youth Club assembled to sing the Star Spangled Bammer and then the Czech Hymn "Kde Domov Muj." The honor bestowed upon the members from the "old country" with the singing of the Czech Hymn by American children, who went to the trouble to learn these, words and tune, shows the esteem they bold for the lodge membership. Many thanks. Some of these young people come from. Czech families' and to some degree know how to speak the Czech language, but there were many who were from American families and never heard a Czech word until they joined the Youth Club, which is quite complimentary. Thanks again!

The Youth Club president, Brother John Paul Hubenak then spoke: "We of the Youth Club salute Lodge 92 and we want to help you celebrate the Anniversary of this building, so we present to you this Cake and hope that you will all enjoy it." This was the highlight of

VESTNiK — WEST, TEXAS the program for it came as a surprise.

A huge candle lit Anniversary Cake with the fraternal emblem embossed in colored icing was presented later to be cut up and served to everyone present.

The thoughtfulness, effort and expense that these young people extended in behalf of the Mother Lodge was really unexpected and all the more appreciated. They are a fine looking group, trying their wings with the blessing of Lodge 92 and God grant them lots of success in their Club undertakings. Lodge 92 was sure proud of them, Sunday, Oct. 5th.

Singing Happy Anniversary Lodge 92, was then followed by a 'Hula Hoop" Contest to which two of the sisters ventured to compete. The others, we understand, got cold feet. Dear sunny, sister Sunshine Beasley and lovely sister Helen Kubala showed us all how the Hula Hoop works. With peals of laughter at their misses, Sister Helen won the prize.

Thanks, you're good sports! It was fun!

There is a lot of work connected in preparing for such a celebration as this as many of you well know. One active lodge sister weary of her share of work on her committee remarked that she's tired of doing this lodge work while others sit back — that she is thinking about quitting and letting the others pick up the responsibility. It brought to mind some other voices in lodges all over Texas who have expressed themselves in the very sonic manner at times, who felt they were carrying the workload while others enjoy the returns. To all such blessed souls, please know that some of these folks are hesitant to meet people, don't know how to tell a joke without its falling flat on its face, who are shy by nature and therefore refrain from going forward. Please know also that secretly they envy your poise, ease of meeting people in such a friendly manner and asking them for contributions; secretly envy your success in your project a little. Last but not least, know that the membership loves each and every one of you who gaVe of yourselves for the good of the lodge. We know the success of the lodge must be close to your hearts to do this. Every lodge, every project has to have its guardian angels!

Don't deSert your co-workers! It is indeed, fortunate that Lodge 92 has such a fine team of sisters who understand and work so well together. Remember that even thought many members hesitate attempting the running of the lodge, they do come and contribute to your project with their hard cash, which, after all is said and done, is what you were after in the first place.

The lodge, brothers are planning to

6trana enlarge and enclose the kitchen in the Hall. There are some retired artisians among them, who will make a beautiful job of it. The good sisters have outgrOwn their present kitchen facilities and realizing this, the brothers have plans for modernizing it. How lucky the lodge is in its older members who can devote their time and efforts to such remodeling. It will mean many a dollar saved for such labor. Do you wonder that Lodge 92 is growing? They have such an industrious membership, young as well as old. More power to all you good people!

Again, thanks for your invitation to be with you, the pleasure is ours in telling the other lodges in our orbit about you!

Fraternally yours, The Editor and Wife • 4 • (

KGVAR, TEXAS Dear Sisters and Brothers, The members of Lodge Osveta here at Kovar wish to take this means to say a hearty "Thank You" to everyone who contributed to the success of last Sunday's District I Meeting, here at Kovar.

I am sure that all of those who were present will agree, that it was a fine meeting, especially from the social point Of view.

The Youth Program under the direction of Sister Matejka, District I. Youth Leader was enjoyed very much by all.

The youth programs at our gatherings are the most important of all, that is the best way to reach our children and bring them to our meetings. The officers of our Distrlet should be complimented on the orderly conduct of the whole meeting. The only thing that we were short of was time, we all would have enjoyed visiting much longer but the afternoon was too short to give us a chance to talk to an we wanted to visit with. I believe that this kind of meeting in the long run will do more for our Order than any other thing I can think of. To us older members, they bring much needed inspiration to carry on, to the younger element, this meeting demonstrated that the SPJST is more than just a little life insurance company. They will take notice that our motto: Benevolence, Humanity and Brotherhood are practiced, and if we let them know that they are appreciated, they will want to come back to us. It is entirely up to us older members as to what attitude the children will take in regard to our meetings and cooperation in our work.

Lets not just keep on saying that the young people do not work with us, let's go ahead and do something about it. The Youth Programs and their activities where • they have a chance to participate, will help get our children interested in our fraternal work. The good work of our youth leaders already is showing results that should be appreciated. We are started in the right direction, so let's keep on going that way. It is very important especially from the organizational standpoint, it will be much easier to write them up, when they have had a chance to find out what it's all about.

The Progress Report for last month is as follows:

VtaTNi WEST, =AS Fr. Pecina, 1. member, $1,000 ins.

Willie Schovajsa, 1 member $1,000 ins.

Adolf Felcman, 1 member $1,000 ins.

Jos. F. Felon n, 1 member $1,000 ins.

John Stefka, 1 member, $1,000 ins.

A very good report, Brother Organizers! Keep -up the good work and remember that the more prospects you contact the more insurance you will be able to write up.

Fraternally yours, V. H. Barina, District I Organizer • •t FROM SEVENTH DISTRICT SPJST KARNES CITY, TEXAS Brothers and Sisters and Friends of the Seventh District: This is to inform you that our next District Meeting will be held on the 26 of October, 1958, in San Antonio, Texas at the Mission County Park, under the sponsorship of Lodge San Antonio, No. 133.

Out of 20 Lodges in District 5, only five Lodges were represented. It is aery sad that always just a few carry the ball and the rest just sit back, indifferent to what takes place. All necessary business was taken care of in a brotherly way.

Brother A. L. Hilsher, President of District 5, opened the meeting with the Pledge of Alegiance and asked the assembly to stand a moment in silence in memory of our departed Sisters and Brothers.

Cerny's ability as an orgonizer, also mentioning the movement of electing queens in the various Lodges, as it is a proven fact that it helps usinsecuring new members into our Order. He also mentioned the possibility that the Supreme Lodge might consider issuing membership cards to the Local Lodges to use for their members. From my experience, I may say that we have demands from the members for such membership cards, and if the Supreme Lodge would do this, the cost to Local Lodges would be considerably less.

Brother J. M. Skrabanek, Director of the supreme Lodge and District Organizer of District 5, elaborated on the current contest between Districts 3 and 5.

He mentioned that District 5 is trailing District 3, and if we don't hustle, we will find ourselves the losers. But, he is confident of securing the quota set for District 5, reminding the Organigers of the remaining three months of this Contest.

The roll call of District 5 'Lodges revealed that only five were represented — No. 88, No. 81, No. 108, No. 139, and No. 142. This is very discouraging and it seems like something will have to be done to create interest for members to participate.

Brother J. M. Skrabanek was duly elected as District 5 Director for the SPJST Rest Home.

We want to thank all the visitors for corning to our meeting, and I am sure we will try to repay your kindness by visiting you at your District meetings and different celebrations.

The meeting was a very interesting one and was well attended. However, we do have several members who have not attended lately.

So, to all our members, let's do our part to try to break all attendance records at the November meeting. A special program has been planned and all new members will be initiated. A buffet supper will be served and each family is requested to bring some food. Other refreshments will be furnished by the Lodge and everyone is promised an enjoyable afternoon..

LODGE NO. 66, WACO, TEXAS Dear Readers, Sunday, October 5, Lodge 66 had their monthly meeting. They took up about 2;45 p.m. and ended about 5:00 p.m.

During the meeting, Mrs. Parma, our Youth Director, discussed the Queen's Contest. She explained the Point System to all of us and said, that about four weeks before the big night, she would announce the four with the most possible high points and those four will run for Queen.

Then about 5:00 p.m. the youth had their second meeting. We discussed helping the Salvation Army. Those who would bring clothes, should bring them, to La Nelie Ceska's house or either to mine. Then they would receive a point for their clothes. Also, one of the adults, Mrs. Monroe Janke, gave the youth a very nice suggestion on what they should call the youth club. She suggested they be named the "LINDEN spRourrs," (That is really original — Editor) On October 26, on a Sunday, Linden Hall is going to have a 'Halloween Party'. Prizes will be given to those with the funniest, ugliest, and the most common costumes. The parents are urged to come and have fun with all of us. Cards will be sent to all the members to remind them to please come. You may bring friends if you wish. One contest which. will be held at this party is the "Hoola Hoop" contest. I hope everyone will enjoy themselves.

The teen-agers made a splendid appearance and various comments were heard as to how authentic looking and
