EDITil S woman, Sister Valchar today is- still able to move about without the aid of a cane or prop, she still sees without glasses and her hearing, though a little impaired, is still good. She certainly doesn't look her 96 years! "The Meek Shall Inherit- the Ea,rth" applies to Sister Valchar for she not only has remarkable health for her age, but all of her family and their kin are wonderful and respected folks in their communities. What more on earth could a person ask for? In her unassuming way and in her big family responsibility, God has given her the most precious gift of all, her fine family, plus her good health.

To get back to the meeting -- at the conclusion of the Lodge meeting, Lodge President Dusek turned the gavel over to Brother Edward Marek, President of the SPJST Supreme Lodge who acted as Master of Ceremonies, honoring sister Valchar. First, he wished Sister Valchar many happy returns of the day in the midst of these fine people of her lodge and her wonderful family.

Brother Marek brought greetings and best wishes from Brothers Joe B. Hejny Vice President of the Supreme Lodge and R. Urbanovsky, the Supreme Lodge

Immediately following the monthly meeting of Lodge Bila Hora No. '16 at 'Weimar, Texas, Sunday, November 2, were ceremonies honoring Sister TereSie Valchar, age 96 years, Charter Member of Lodge Bila Hora and of our SPJST Order, where Sister Valchar received Payment In Full on her policy with our SPJST upon attaining her 96th birthday, which in actuality will bo on PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE the 26th of November.

Log cabins were then built and wood had to be chopped for cooking and heating purposes. Water had to be drawn from hand dug wells or dipped from the creek. Many times the older girls of the Valchar family kept house two or three days at a time while their mother, an experienced nurse and midwife was tending the sick or away at a "bornin." There are probably still some folks living who got their first spanking from Sister Valchar. Sister Valchar had 12 children of which seven daughters and two sons are still living. The Valchar's like others in the community grew cotton and corn as their main crops. Needless to say, the baking of bread for so large a family, was a big job- in itself, as was the sewing ,and washing of clothes for them.

Financial secretary, who were not able to be present due to other pressing business.

Sister Adolph Dusek, wife of the President of Lodge Bila, Mora, presented Sister Valchar with a white corsage of carnations in behalf of the Lodge.

Brother Eeward Marek then appointed the Honor Guard to escort Sister Valchar to the place of honor at the head table of the meeting. They were: Brothers August Kacir, Attorney of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Koliha, Treasurer of the SPJST Supreme Lodge, Brother Ed. Sralia, Director of the Supreme Lodge from this District, and Brother Charles Navratil, Director of the Supreme Lodge from District IL Brother Valchar, son of the honoree surrendered Sister Valchar's certificate upon which Brother Secretary of the Supreme Lodge J. F. Chupick handed her a voucher for $1,000 payable in full for her certificate. He addressed her as mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Valchar and wished for her lots of continued health and many happy days in our midst. He stated that he is looking forward to her 100th Birthday, at which time we shall all celebrate it again.

Brother Marek in addressing Sister Valchar thanked her for coining among the younger members of her lodge to encourage them in their lodge work in the brotherhood. "We res pect your gray hair," Brother Marek said, "you have worked years and years in the lodge and we younger members will follow you up in this work."

"We don't bring any monetary Birthday Cdr.; s, said Leether Chupick, "but bring glas of 1,y,;(,, a.pprwiation to he arid ,wish for her many happy returns of this day. I believe that this gathering is dearer to her by being here than any gift that we might have brought. In our minds pass many thoughts on an occasion like this.

Many things that have passed on into history — of our country, state and our Order. We remember the sacrifices made for which very little gratitude was ever expressed. You did it all for the love of your kin and your brotherhood." Brother Chupick then recalled some of their experiences in this new and raw country. "Just like we appreciate the work you did in this Order, we likewise appreciate the work of our pioneers who built all of this for us. It took a lot of work, many tears, much blood to . build this country and from their work we have the high level of living today as no other place on earth. Let's respect this, let's appreciate all this," Brother Chupick said. "They were glad and willing to do what was necessary to keep our Order working. Our SPJST Order is the best of Texas of all of our people in our organization. The older I get the more I believe that as one reaches the twilight of life that what one does for the other brings the greatest dividends," said Brother Chupick. "For all the policies and all the monies one accumulates must be left behind — only the deeds done, with the satisfaction is all that Brother Koliha and Brother Navratil one gets from life. Our members helped each other plow the fields when there followed suit with a short speech.

Members of our fraternal fire insur- was illness in the brotherhood, they reance organization, most often referred to by its initials RVOS were recognized.

They were: 2e other Jerry Valchar, its President and BiV her J. Slavik its Secretary. Brother Valchar, incidentally is the honoree's grandson.

Brother Chupick followed with a talk.

"This is a sepeeial day for us and it is scmething to which I've been looking for ward to for a long time. Your Bile Hors a:ways fascinated me and I had always wished I would some day have an opportunity to visit here. This is a special day for our Order, too." Brother Chupick continued, "for this is the second time this occasion has presented itself in Texas. Our first occasion was our late Brother Moti of Seaton. He was the first member in the Texas fraternal world to receive his policy "Paid in Full" at his attaining 96 years of age. Brother 1Vlotl lived to be 102 year of age."

It is to our sorrow that we do not practice this brothci:ly love today as they did in those s. Let's work for the good of our neighbor, by working in such a manner then we can leave this world anytime. Let's get our house in order, remember ridt what good we want to do on this earth — do it now for we know not whether we shall be here tomorrow!"

Then Brother Chupick spoke in the EngliSh language. "I cannot let this opportunity pass by without saying what a wonderful privilege ii it for us to gather here today like this. Our minds naturally drift back into the past of our forefathers who cmle here many years ago and who by the sweat of their brow established a wonderwul life for us as we live of here today. We are ex7s tremely grateful for it. We are grateful to the Czech pioneers and what they have done for us. We are proud of our Czech origin and we are proud to be Americans", Brother Chupic. •k said in English. "In this country. everyone is American, irrespective of whether their fathers came from Czechoslovakia, Hee: land, Germany, etc. We sometimes won4, der why this is such a wonderful coun4 try. It is because of its people who have enriched this country who have made it what it is. What a large portion of many pleasures we enjoy.

Wednesday, November, 12, •1958 beginning of our Order, Brother. Kacir said that Sister Valchar and members like her backed our Order. "We are proud of your work here on earth and of the 12 children that you raised in our Order and hope that we shall meet with you here again."

Brother Edward Sralla, Director of the Supreme Lodge from this District spoke in Czech, saying that he was glad to be able to attend this historical occasion of our Order, that it was the moral duty of everyone in the Lodge to come. He congratulated sister Valchar and brought Greetings and well wishes from all of District VI.

The Officers of our Supreme Lodge) that attended the Celebration — Brothe Hosek Chupick, Sra.11a, IVIarck, Koliha, Navratil, and Kacir. members who have passed from our brotherhood nad asked us to stand in a minute's prayer.

Then Lodge Bila I-Tora, president Dusek made the motion that Sister Valchar be irracle Honorary Member of our SPJST fraternal order until her death which was seconded and voted by acclamation.

Brother J. Koliha spoke in Czech, recalling the hard times of the Czech pioneers, recalling the terrible draught years of his early youth here in Texas and remarked that there were no cars, radios and things that the youth of today have If we went to a dance or a celebration, our parents were there too.

Today things have changed! Today, parents don't know where their children spend their leisure hours. That's why there is so much delinquency in our youth! For this reason. We must try to hold our youth among 11.-,. If we can get our youth to become in nibecs of our Order. We need not fear that our Order will ever cease to exist."

Speaking in Czech, Brother Koliha said Some of us don't understand perhaps real meaning of brotherhood. Some of us younger ones cannot realize what these pioneers had to go through. If we could realize the hardships that they had to go through, we would cherish them and those who have gone to the great beyond. It is easy to start on a journey today but let's go back some CO, 70 or 80 years, there were no roads.

Those who attended the lodge meetings came by foot, horseback or by sled. Today we have wonderwul roads, TV's, radios and such yet let's realize that these things did not come overnight, realize that we Owe our pioneers for all of these developments. Therefore, we

who gather here today let us realize that we are here only for a short span of years and as long as we live let's cherish the work of these pioneers. Let's not forget them. To this sister of ours who has attained the age of 96 years, we owe a debt of gratitude. Not only to her but to all of those who have gone froa- our ranks and upon this occasion to Sister Valchar, I wish the best of luck, long years of life and may she be here with us for many years."

Brother August Kacir, Attorney of our Supreme Lodge spoke: "I am glad that I have had -the opportunity to attend this meeting at Bila, Hora. I thought I knew this place but today I could not even find . the road here. Speaking about the

Brother Chas Navratil, speaking in Czech said: "I am very grateful that I was able to be here and that was able to be one of the Honor Guards to Sister Valchar. I wish for her many years of health and contentment. She has done lots of good ofr our Order and our fraternal order has in turn done lots of good for its members and it is up to us to work for the growth and welfare of our SPJST and talk of the good that our Order has done in its 61 years of existence, we need not fear of her future existence and if we try to get our children and their children to become n-em bers in our order, our order will grow.

Brother Hosek then wished Lodge Bila Hora have more meetings of this kind that would bring us, young and old, all closer together. The Vestnik is here to, draw us closer by writen contact and to encourage one another for better and for More active lodge work in our own interest. We are always glad to present pictures of our celebrants in your Vestnik for all of the membership to see and en-

Roll Call of the Charter Members of Bila Hora wereread by Supreme Lodge President Brother Edward Marek to the respectfully standing audience.

Brother Edward Marek then spoke saying that fraternal love is the outcome of many years of wark. He talked on brotherhood in Czech and then in English and made comparative analysis of Biblical teachings and our fraternal brotherhood, of loving thy neighbor; of the Good Samaritan.

He talked of the work that is being done with our Youth. The leaders of tomorrow will be the younger men and younger women of today who have had the experiences gained from the environment around them — they will be that which we as their examples are.

There will be better communities, better homes and better administration from today's youth. The type of nation we have tomorrow will be the type of young people we have today.

Speaking Czech, Brother Marek remarked that the more youth we get into our Order today, the stronger we shall be tomorrow. He pointed out the various reports given out by the Supreme Lodge and the State Department of Insurance regarding our financial status. We feel responsible to you and we want to tell you here at this opportunity that you are welcome at our office, in Temple any time you wish information or need any explanations. Please call on us directly and you will get dependable information.

Brother Jerry Vaichar, grandson of Sister Valchar who thanked the officers of the Supreme Lodge, Officers of Lodge Bila Hora and its membership and friends on behalf of his grandmother Sister Teresie Valchar, today's honoree, for the honor bestowed upon her.

He recalled how he had told his grandmother as he was leaving for the Army in World War II that he would return and that we would help her celebrate her 100th birthday. "Now that birthday is not too far off." Mr. Valchar said, "and we shall all help her celebrate it when it does come.'

S Triii — WEST, TEXAS Vaichar, who was elected President of their organization in their last convention.

Lodge Bila Hora president Ad. Dus ek thanked all of the officers of the Supreme Lodge, the Editor and all others who were able to be here to help celebrate this occasion and invited everyone for a snack and refreshments.

Our sincere thanks goes to the sisters of Bila Hora. Lodge for the sumptions table provided to feed that crowd. They footed the bill for all of that fine food and we certainly thank them for their hospitality. Bless you — one and all Thanks also goes to the audience gathered there. It was one of the nicest, quietest groups of people that ever listened to the speakers expound their ideas. They had a field day too, and there was a lot of good humor thrown in, ribbing each other and the whole atmosphere was one of brotherly love and understanding. Many thanks for this To the little ones, too, you were certainly a nice bunch of well mannered children and the speakers who came to your lodge to help celebrate Granny Valchar's Birthday and Honorary Membership to the SPJST ceremony, certainly appreciated your thoughtfulness in not disturbing the talks by all of those speakers. The whole SPJST is proud of you!

The Czech song: "Na Bile Hore, Sedlacek Ore," still rings in our ears.

We sang it all the way to your meeting.

The farmer, or sedlacek, still plows his fields at Bila Hora in Texas, and he still has those beautiful daughters and as in the song and it was our pleasure to meet them all and shake their hands in genuine friendship and fellowship.

You have your little lodge nestled among the giant moss-laden oaks, as old or possibly older than your lodge. Be glad you have it use it — and if all of your young people have left for the big city, why not plan your Good Times for the old folks and for those who stayed home — those polite little folks that are still among you going to grade school? They're important too, you know. Bring their, to your lodge meetings, have refreshments for them, teach them the good old Czech songs that you learned at home around your, mother's table. They'll love it!

DEAR BROTHERS and SISTERS: In order to insure or assure its own success, every business organization, concern, company or association, which is owned by stock holders or is composed of members, such as our Order, and our local lodge, should secure, for itself; First, competent, capable officers —management—that have the "know how" to run it successfully, and; Second, adopt certain definite rules, plans, regulations and by-laws, in accordance with which the business affairs of the organization are to be conducted.

It is of utmost importance that every institution, organization or association elect as its President or manager or whatever name may be applied to its chief executive officer', that has the necessary knowledge, experience and qualifications to dispatch impartially, without fear or favor and with tact, dignity and proper authority, all the duties and obligations incurnbered upon him, and that all the other officers, assistants or subordinates, likewise, have the necessary qualifications for their respective duties, and that all of them are are willing to assume their individual responsibilities for the proper conduct and management of all the business affairs of the organization, and that all of them have the moral courage and backbone to carry out all the respective . duties without being continuously swayed in their decisions and actions, by their desire to please everybody, regardless of right or wrong. Remember that no institution can rise above the level of its officers and management. i In every business and the financial affairs of our Order and our local lodges is a business, somebody must be the bead. Such head should have the knowledge what to do, and the determination to insist that everything is done right and to maintain discipline. Discipline is super-important everywhere (and increases in importance progressively with the size of the institution), in our business institutions, in our homes, in our schools, in our churches, in our Order, as well. Without discipline soon degenerates; efficiency, lacks, and without order every business institution soon degenerates; efficiency laks and chaos and disorder follow. The lack of proper leadership, management and or-

Strana, 18

der can cause great losses to the institution, which losses may not be evident or visible to the general public, but they can be very real and costly just the ne. the same token, through keen la --miss acumen, ability -and competency oi its management, an institution can make money or prevent losses and thereby make lots of money; likewise, without public knowledge of it.

Every business organization, and that applies to our Ceder and our local lodges us well, should also adopt for its government and management, of its business affairs, such by-laws, rules and regulations as may be found best suited forthe conditions and circumstances under which it must operate, in accordance with which by-laws, rules and regulations the affairs of the organization should be conducted. Such by-laws, rules and regulations should set out, state, prescribe and/or outline definitely the duties of all the officers — the management — how the business of the lodge should be conducted, how long the membership, of the delinquent members of the lodge shall be maintained, at the risk and expense of the lodge, bow the books shall be kept and the finances handled, and who shall be primarily responsible for the financial affairs of the lodge, etc. Financial affairs of every local are of super-importance and should he given the greatest study and consideration.

Fortunately, it does not happen very Nen, but occasionally the Supreme I odge receives complaints from members that certain improper things are happening in the business affairs of their local lodges, and that, this or that, 1 ,, going on, and that the local lodge officers refuse to take any action to correct it, because they do not want to fain the ill will or displeasure of somebody. Sometimes the complaint is that the local lodge officers are too arbittary, exacting and den-tanding in the punctual payment of all lodge dues of the members. In some instances, again, the complaint alleges that the officers of i he local lodge are lax, careless and p het in their duties by carrying delinquent members on the rolls of the local lodge, at the expense of, and to the final loss of the local lodge. They ask for advice how to correct and/or overcome the evils that are going on or have arisen in their local lodge. In almost every such instance the subject matter of such complaints could have and would have been prevented, had definite and proper steps been taken in Pine, and had the correction of these evils not been postponed or deferred from tinie to time.

"VESTNI1(

WEST, TEXAS

After the thing complained of have happened, it is very 'difficult, if not impossible to remedy and/or correct them without bitterness, animosity and ill will, and especially if thc n-Natter complained of, has been going on for a long time.

It is always much easier to prevent a misunderstanding ande disagreement than to try to correct it after it has happened. For that reason, I am stressing in this article, what our local lodges should do and how their bUsiness affairs should be conducted so as to preclude or prevent anything, of improper nature, from happening, Almost every disagreement that arises in our local lodges is caused by laxness or neglect in connection with the financial affairs of the lodges.

Financial affairs of every local lodge are of super-importance. Finances should be watched very carefully and all books and records of the lodge should be audited by the Auditing Committee regularly, and as often as prescribed by the by-laws, adopted by the local lodge.

This is very important.

Wednesday, November, 12, 1958 the work he is doing will be checked, audited or examined by another party, he is naturally, just a little more care, abou how he does the work. That's true about everybody.

In some of our local lodges the audits of the books and records, of the officers are made very irregularly; in some lodges only once in several years, and in some lodges not until some misunderstanding arises. If such audit is neglected or delayed for a long time, it becomes almost impossible, to find out what, why, and how, certain things have happened.

Some of them are forgotten and that renders it impossible to give a proper explanation of them. This often gives to various suspicions and accusations, some of them, very often without any foundation whatsoever. This causes ill will and disagreement, often, between the best of friends and fraternal brothers. Try to prevent such things from happening, in your local lidge by insisting that all the books, records and finances of your local lodge officers are audited regularly, by the Auditing Committee. Appeal to the President of your local lodge and insits in it, that he sees to it that such audits are hade regularly.

Sometimes local lodges sustain heavy losses because to local lodge officers persist in keeping, in good standing, members who are delinquent in the payment of their premiums, to the lodge and advance the premiums of such delinquent :nembers, to the Supreme Lodge, out of the lodge funds, sometimes for much more than a reasonable time. Every local lodge should have a definite set rule regarding the extension of credit to, the suspension and expulsion of its members, and especially regarding those that have no reserve value in their certificates; If a member fails to pay his dues in accordance with the local bylaws such members should be suspended and if not reinstated should be expelled, Some may object to such procedure as not being fraternal or brotherly, but we must bear in mind that very often such non-paying members ultimately fails to meet his obligations to the local lodge, and must be expelled later, with a financial loss of the local lodge. Such conduct on the part of the member is not brotherly or fraternal, either. Everybody should remember that he who expects fraternal and brotherly treatment from others, should likewise deal and act in a brotherly and fraternal manner with others. Fraternalism should work both ways.

Every officer of the local lodge should be willing and glad to submit his books and records to the auditing committee for peroidical audits and examinations, and should be willing to give the Auditing Committee full explanation of any matter, requested of him, without a feeling of resentment that any such request casts an accusation on him of some wrong doing; absolutely not. Every local lodge officer should welcome the examination of the books and finances in his custody, in the same manner that we, in the Supreme Lodge, always welcome the audit and examination of our books and records, by the Examiners of the State Insurance Department, one of which examinations was conducted at the beginning of this year, and cost the Supreme Lodge $8,215.88. We welcome these state examinations because if in the course of such examinations, anything is called to our attention, that was not done in strict accordance with the laws of the State: and rules of the Insurance Department, and our by-laws, it gives us an opportunity to correct it.

If the examiners do not find any objections to, or criticism of, everything that we have done, and give us a clean slate, it gives us a feeling of assurance and satisfaction that everything was done co r rectly, in accordance with the state laws and our by-laws. Officers of local lodges should regard the auditing of their books by the local Auditing If a local lodge adopts certain rules Committee, in the same spirit and with the same attitlude. Occasional audits of concerning haw long delinquent memanybody's books is very desirable. It is bers may be carried on its books, and the natural that when a person knows that proper officers of the local lodge violate

Reuorts From Local Lodges CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS Dear Sist ecrs and Brothers,

Sokol Corpus Christi will hold its annual meeting November 16, 1958, to elect new officers, review the work done this bast year, take serious council as to how best to proceed the future, discuss, plan, and carry out our Sokol work with the help of all of our membership, to a successful conclusion in the coming year.

Those of you who can an who are willing to serve, accept nomination to office, and who, whether elected to office or not, will do your best to help the Sokol cause in our Unit, are urgently invited to attend our next meeting.

The strength of the Unit rests in all of its members, in those self-sacrificing individuals, well known or not — who serve the Sokol ideals, who execute the decisions of the Unit and who satisfy themselves with the knowledge that they have faithfully fulfilled their share of responsibility allotted them.

These are the individuals strong in heart, strong in their convictions of right, and strong in their determination to fulfill the tasks that the times and circumstances demand of them.

The more intensively we adhere to our Unit and our Sokol work, the more attention we will command to the Sokol's value and the greater will be our accomplishments.

Our road is the right one and many are realizing it, therefore, our efforts must not diminish, our spirits must hot decline.

The Meeting will start at 2:00 p.m.

After the meeting we will have popular games and a Goulash Supper at 50 cents a plate.

Donations of pastry from our goodhearted sisters will be appreciated.

Best wishes to you all, Nazdar!

Dear Brothers and Sisters, A group of brothers from our Lodge No. 91 are going on a duck hunting trip on the weekend of Nov. 8 and 9, with Brother Joe Skrabanek and we all will hunt on his ranch at Danbury, Texas. Making the trip will be Brothers Bill Gaiser, Anton Janousek, Otto Janousek, Ben Sarma, Willie On.drusek and Jody Rejcek from our lodge- and Brother Skrabanek frona Houston. Due to other cornmittments, Brother Sid Pokladnik, Stanley Vrla and Arnold Vrla were unable to accompany the group for the hunt.

We are looking forward to this trip and are sorry the others who had originally planned to accompany us could not be in the party. We don't know this to be a fact but we are suspicious that Brother Skrabanek, the best insurance salesman in District V, will have along some body guards to protect him on this hunt as District III might just have something up their sleeve to insure our winning the contest between these two districtS. However, since this article will not be printed before the hunt, we assure all the members in District V that Brother Skrabanek's life will not have been endangered by anyone from Dist.

III and that we are confident we will have a most wonderful trip. Most of us are a little rusty on our shooting and it would not surprise us if Brother Skrabanek doesn't outshoot us all when it comes to bagging our limits of ducks and geese if he does, you can be assured nothing will appear in the Vestnik to this effect.

Fraternally yours, Ben Jarma Editor's Note: Sorry this letter was received too late for the Vestnik of the 5th, Write a little earlier next time Bro. Ben—Thanks!

WEST SPJST. LODGE NO. 54 Dear Brothers and Sisters, Another month has gone by since I wrote last, so I better let you hear from me again.

Our regular meeting was held last Sunday and it was an interesting meeting, several items were brought up for discussion by Brother Ted Kocian, some are pending and some were taken up.

Resolution was read for Brother Joseph M. Marek who died recently.

Brother Andrew Gaidica of Dallas Lodge No. 130 was a visitor at this meeting. And we are welcoming back Brother Robert and Sister Frances . Gerlich of New York, who recently moved back to West, Brother Gerlich paid us a visit and shook hands with several of his friends who are glad to see him back.

We have two members on the sick list.

Brother Lee Girard became ill this past week.

Brother Emil Popp underwent an eye operation in Hillcrest Hospital, at the time of this writing I heard he was getting along nicely and is feeling better,

Wednesday, November 12, 1958 but will have to remain in the hospital for several days yet.

We wish both of you, Brother Leo Girard and Brother Emil Popp a speedy recovery.

A Christmas Program is in, the planning, this will be fully discussed at our next meeting. Everybody had a nice time at our last year's Christmas program and they are looking forward to having another big time at this year's program.

On Saturday November 15th there will be a Big Free Dance Honoring the Silver Wedding Anniversary of Brother Henry and Sister Christine Matus of West.

Herewith Brother and Sister Matus, we are wishing you many more anniversaries and that in 25 more years we may celebrate your Golden Anniversary.

On Thanksgiving night we will have another Free dance, music will be furnished by Vrazel's Polka Band of Cameron, hope to see a nice crowd at this dance.

Our next meeting will be on the first Sunday of next month, Dec. '7th. This meeting will be electionof officers. It was asked that the ladies kindly bring either cake, kolaches or sandwiches and this will be served with coffee.

We hope to see a large crowd at this meeting to cast their votes for the candidates whom they want to serve as officers for the coming year.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Bennie Soukup • 4, • ( LODGE POKROK DALLAS NO. 84 Dear Members and Friends, As the result of the recent Queen contest, our Teen-Age Club was responsible for bringing in quite a large amount of new insurance. Brother Sid Pokladnik delivered a very encouraging speech on the night of the crowning of our TeenAge King and Queen. We are so proud of alL our teen-agers and their accomplishments. It is a relief to know that we have youngsters such as these who will someday be our leaders. And as a further gesture of their generousity, the Teen-Age Club has donated a sum of $999.99 to the lodge.

A check for this amount was accepted by our President Brother Sid Pokladnik and our Treasurer, Sister Carlyn Ondrusek, in behalf of the lodge. Everyone was puzzled as to why the amount was just a penny short of $1000. Then it was decided that the $999.99 took longer to say and it also made a more impressive figure! At any rate, it was sincerely appreciated.

In addition, our youth have promised to provide a water cooler 'to be used at the hall. Again, the thanks of every-

VESTNf K — WEST, TEXAS one is extended to this wonderful organization.

On Saturday, Oct. 18 , Czech Day at the State Fair of Texas was observed.

A program was presented, in the Worn en's Building under the supervision of Sisters Bessie Petr and Jay Nora Rejcek, representing Lodge No. 84. Our teen-agers danced the Beseda and Bro. Frank Henzen sang the National Anthems of the United States and Czechoslovakia. .Also little Justine Marie and Johnnie Palkladnik entertained with the dance "Sla Nanika do zeli!' Reports are that this representation, as well as others form each lodge, was very well beceived.

Our softball team, of which we are so proud, donated $20 toward the purchase of the drapes that provide an attractive back drop in the stage. A load of thanks goes to this group that has made quite a number of donations in the past as well as making our Frater nal order known.

At our last meeting, salaries for our officers were voted on, effective for the coming year — 1959.

During the month of October, Brother and Sister Jurcik had charge of the kitchen. They put in a lot of hard work and made a very nice profit for the lodge. Thank you, Brother and Sister Jurcik for your willing help.

Our sick list includes Sister Annie Janousek, and Brother Copper in Houston. The wishes of all our members are for complete recovery by now.

On the evening of Friday, October 31 our lodge was in\ adacl by little goblins and ghosts, about 100 strong. They all looked so cute in their costumes and really enjoyed the entertainment and refreshments provided them by our Sister Bessie Petr and her wonderful helpers. Sister Petr mentioned at the past party, the names of her helpers, and also her appreciation of their )assistance.

Then the guests showe(I their thanks by giving applause to these swell persons, who were so generous with their time and effort. I also heard a report that the Teen-Agers had a wonderful time also, at their "spook party" following the party held for the small fry.

Don't forget that our regular meeting will be held Sunday. November 16 beginning at 3 p.m. We will have an event occur at this meeting. which has never taken place before at our lodge.

Brother Martin Kovar, who is 96 years old will be presented a check for $1000. which is the amount of his SPJST insurance policy that he has outlived.

Let's all be present to witness this wonderful presentation and to give our Brother Kovar our congratulations.

Strang 25.

On Saturday, Nov. 15 there will be a dance at the lodge with music by Faraizl's orchestra from Ft. Worth, also on Saturday, November 29, Joe Pokiadnik's orchestra will play for the dance that night. Let's all be there as these are the last dances before New Year's.

Anyone having an SPJST paid-up life insurance policy will have to pay monthly dues, in order to remain a member of the lodge. It is only a small amount and it entitles one to many benefits.

One of these is the right to express an opinion and participate in our regular monthly meetings. Also, those who are through paying for one policy might find it convenient to take out more insurance.

To those members who are still paying on their policies, it is always a good practice to pay your dues regularly and on time. After all, insurance is security which would be hard to replace if lost.

Then too, it is a wonderful thing to be a member of an organization, such as our lodge, which boasts 600 members. please keep in mind the date of Sunday, December 21 for that is the meeting devoted to voting in our officers for the new year, 1959. Please try to attend and use your privilege of voting.

Of course, you should also remember our New Year's dance. December 31, from 9 p.m. till 4 a.m. music by John Rejcek. Come out and wish everyone "a Happy New Year.

Well, that's all all the news for now.

Hope to see each of you at the meeting and dances.

Fraternally, Frances 13aleja P.S. — Another reminder, there will be a Family Night following the Nov. 16 meeting. See you there. )• WACO SPJST LODGE NO Dear Brothers and Sisters: The regular meeting of the Waco Lodge No. 66 was held on Sunday, November 2nd at 2:30 p.m. at Linden Hail The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Lana Kay Reznicek.
