A Glorious Day At :rok 84

Wednesday, November 26, 1958 Brother Pokiadnik thanked the Guard of Honor for their participation and the four gentlemen returned to their respective table.

Young Johnny Pokiadnik, son of the Lodge President, speaking in Czech presented Brother Kovar with a gift from the Lodge Youth, saying, "Starickii, prinasim pozdrav a prejet.D Vam dlouha leta y e zdravi." Dearest Granddad, I bring greetings and best wishes for many more years in health.

The beautiful cake mentioned above was presented to -Uncle Kovar" by the Kopecky family.

Supreme Lodge{ President Marek thanked the daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Hare, with whom Brother Kovar is making his home, for their home, their love, and their care of our brother in their midst, asking God to keep our brother for many more years.

On had to witness these touching ceremonies to appreciate the drama of brotherly love flowing out for one another, even our Honoree was wiping his eyes.

Besides the L. B. Hares, daughter Millie Takats, Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Kovar and Family, Frank Kovar, sitting together felt the impact of the occasion.

It was beautiful indeed.

A minute's silent prayer was said in rememberance of those beloved who have left the portals of this Lodge to sit with the angels.

Still standing, we all sang, "Happy Birthday, Brother Kovar" with tears running down our cheeks. Then foie lowed the short speeches in rapid succession addressed to Brother Kovar, in essence, everyone wishing lots of continued health and many more years in our midst. Some of the speeches were in Czech, others in English and some in both languages.

Calling upon visitors of other Districts to stand and be recognized, the assembly welcomed them all with hearty applause.

Brother Charles Navratil, Director from District II, spoke first; followed

by Brother Robert Cervenka, Director from District III, then came Supreme Lodge Treasurer Brother J. Koliha who spoke in Czech; followed by Lodge Pokrok 84 President Pokiadnik speaking in Czech; then Brother Marek M. behalf of District I, IV, V, and VI; followed by Vice President Joe B. Plejny; Supreme Lodge Attorney August K.aeir; followed

by Brother District Organizer Ben Mikolaj of District III of Taylor, Texas, our own Brother District Organizer Arnold Vrla of District III; the President of the Youth Club of Lodge 84 Sykora; Editor Hosek; Brother Edward Marek, again in

VESTNIK — WEST, TEXAS English; and the President of the Dallas Women's Circle, Mrs. Cyril Pokiadnik, Sr. All of the speeches were heartfelt expressions of love, best wishes from the lodges, Districts and clubs they represented, revealing the magninimity of the human heart on occasions of this kind.

Brother Sid Pokiadnik then requested the Supreme Lodge for the surrendered policy of Brother Kovar's to be hanged in their Club Room and after deliberation Brother Marek promised the Lodge that as soon as a photostatic copy could be made and cross referenced for the Supreme Order's file, that the original policy would be returned to the-in for framing.

The Teen-agers of this lodge then took a bow. Just recently they had their coronation of their new Queen and King for 1958, Miss Juanita Janousek and Mr. James Madak, who were recognized and at which time they presented the Mother Lodge No. 84 with $55,000 of new insurance and a check for the sumof $999.911 to be placed in the Building Fund; results from this last contest and coronation. Congratulations go to this busy group of Teen-agers of Lodge 84.

The Lodge Youth Director, Sister Bessie Petr took a bow. She in turn gave cognizance to the lodge, its officers and members for whatever success she might have enjoyed and thanked them all for their cooperation.

The elder members of the lodge were then recognized with applause, followed by Lodge 84 organizers. Then our District III organizer Arnold Vrla took a bow.

The Kovar family and all their kin took a bow. They had assembled from all corners of Texas to honor Brother Kovar on his day.

The gracious sisters of Lodge 84 gave Brother Kovar the top tier of his delicious Birthday Cake to take home with him as well as the large bouquet of yellow Chrysanthemums for rememberance or this day.

Brother Martin Kovar with the L. B. Hare family excused themselves for Brother Kovar was tiring and the busisness session took up where it had left off to a rapid conclusion at which time we all gathered around to enjoy "Family Night" in Lodge 84, with goulash, coffee and delicious pasteries.

The Editor and wife thank Lodge 84, for their kind invitation to share in this special occasion and for their very kind hospitality. We certainly appreciate it.

It was so nice seeing so many of you again, meeting new faces — there are always new ones coming among us — and our thanks to all for the fine ex-

God keep you all!

Social One of the important reasons for social security insurance benefits is the protection of children. Before the recent changes in the law, foster children who had not been legally adopted were often out of luck where social security is concerned. In 1958 changes in the social security law made it possible to pay benefits to more children and more widows.

It is no longer necessary that a child, other than the worker's own child be an adopted child in order to qualify for survivor's benefits. The requirement now is that the child be "adoptable" and be adopted by the surviving spouse within two years after the worker's death. If the child was living in the worker's household as a member of the family, and was not supported by anyone other than the worker, the spouse, or a social agency, he is now regarded, for social security pur poses, the same as the worker's own child.

In the case_ of the adopted child of a retired insured worker it is no longer adopted for as long as three years in order to be eligible for benefits. Benefits are now payable to an adopted child immediately after adoption.

Under the old law, the mother of a child adopted by her deceased husband could not get widow's benefits if their marriage had been in effect less than a year before his death. This often resulted in a situation where the child could get survivor's benefits but the widow with a child in her care could not. Under the amended law, the length of marriage restriction has been removed if the deceased worker legally adopted the spouse's child. t .) (

" Dr. Liduard UniVersity Professor of Slavonic Languages, has gained lasting fame at the University with the publication of his latest book, "The Real Tolstoy."

Seldom is the public given an opportunity totead about such a famous man of literature from an individual who met Me I ersonally.

It was in 1909 that Dr. Micek went to Tolstoy's home at Jasnija poljana to talk with this greatest of the Russian writers. Dr. Micek describes his meeting with Tolstoy in this way:

Wednesday, November 26, 1958 "I met Tolstoy, surrounded by devoted followers, by the admiration of the civilized world, isolated and without peace but at war with his wife and some of his children. He was the most tragic of the great writers, a desperate old man.

"I shall never forget Tolstoy's ' smile which was enchanting and tender, and at the same time somewhat sorrowful, and almost pathetic. His long frey hair was divided in the middle, peasant fashion, and his gray beard was large.

"I shall never forget his baggy blouse of gray flannel trousers of the same material that looked to me like bloomers, and square tied shoes. His last words to me were 'God be with you, I shall see you again.' But he did not because his death came the next year."

He delved deeply into Tolstoy's fellow writers and friends, such as Turgenev, Bunin, Cnekhov, Gorki and Fet. Of the quarrel that Tolstoy had with Turgenev, Micek writes, "Men apay quarrel with one another and still understand and admire each other. The essentL1 element is respect for the other's accomplishments."

Dr. Micek gives special notice to Tolstoy's personal physician, Dr. Dushan Makovicky, Micek says of him. "He was Tolstoy's most faithful friend."

The last chapter of the book may be considered the best. It is the first account, other than Tolstoy's wife's of how the Great Author spent his last days. Dr. Micek received his information for this chapter from Dr. Makovicky, whom he met while visiting Tolstoy.

Dr. Micek, a member and past presi• dent of the American Association of Teachers of Slavonic and Eastern European Languages, came to the 'University in 1926. He was born in Frydek, Czechoslovakia, and received his PhD degree from the famous Charles University in Prague.

This year Dr. Micek stepped down frau:, his chairmanship of Slavonic Languages, but if this book is to be an example, he certainly has not retired from . his studies and important contributions to academic life.

"The Real Tolstoy" has received plaudits from not only the local press but also from sonic foreign papers.

Good Luck For 'Good Selling!

Fraternally, A. M. Vrla District III Organizer

As I mentioned on many occasions already to a large degree we must rely upon our sisters and brothers, members of our local lodges, in seeing to it that as many non-members as possible are contacted and fully informed concerning the big advantages of membership in our SPJST. Everybody knows that, today, more than ever before, the splendid protection, together with the factors of good savings and wise investments found in our insurance, is of such character that no member or his family can afford to do without this essential insurance coverage.

District Seven is still a little behind in writing insurance this year. Wehave one more month to go in which we must make up for lost time. With the proper display of interest and activity, on the part of all concerned during the month ahead, we can easily reach our goal. I expect that all organizers in District Seven will do their part, will show their ability, full understanding, cooperation and devotion to our organization. Continuing efforts in this direction will ultimately lead to our victory.

Jaroslay Kleprlik District Organizer

Strata 20 LODGE 48, TAYLOR, TEXAS Dear Vestnik Readers: On Sunday Dec. 7, 1958 the regular meeting of Lodge No. 48 will be held at the hall, starting around one thirty. It is at this meeting that the officers for 1959 will be elected. It is very urgent that all our members be present.

The people elected are the ones who will guide the activities for the coming year. It is very easy to say let"Joe" do it. If you think the men in office now are capable of serving again, all well and good, but the least you, as a member can do is to come out and give them a vote of confidence.

I have also been advised to announce that the ladies are planning some sort of Christmas program for this year.

They wish all the children who will be in or wish to be in the program to come to the meeting on Dec. 7 so they can get organized and have a rehearsal ofter the meeting.

As you all know, we tried to re-activate our lodge this year, and great progress was made. We still need more help from you our members, so be there Sunday, December 7. won't you?

Bye now, and thanks for everything.

Yours truly, Leon Shiner P.S. -- I would also like to receive the Vestnik. I have a paidup policy in the SPJST and understand I still can receive this wonderful paper. Thanks Bro. Editor for your work, your patience and understanding. If you are ever in Taylor please visit our Lodge Vysehrad at Beyersville. You will be welcome.

LODGE ANION J. CERMAK, NO. 56 CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: You are informed that the annual meeting of Lodge No. 65 will be held December 14 at the Sokol Hall. The meeting will convene at 2:00 p.m.

There are several important issues to be discussed and also we will hold our election of officers for the year 1959.

Each and every member is urged to attend this meeting.

Further, to those of you who are behind with your dues, you are requested to come and pay your dues up to date, so that your officers can bring the books to balance.

Each year we have had a lunch after our annual meeting. Somehow in our November meeting we have overlooked to discuss the matter.

I have been questioned by some of our members as to whether we will have lunch at our December meeting as is our custom. My personal view is this: If our goodhearted sisters will donate sandwiches and pasteries, I will furnish

VESTNIK — WEST, TEXAS coffee, sugar and milk.

In our November meeting we have decided to present a, Christmas program December 21st at 8 p.m. at the Sokol hall. Our four local organizations Sokol Lodge No. 56, SPJS'I, Lodge No. 79 SPJST and the Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Acsociation will participate and sponsor the program. Everyone is cordially invited as a intersting program is planned for all including Santa Claus. Dan't forget December 21 at Sokol Hall. Bring the entire family and your friends.

For the many wonderful gifts, to those who helped in any way, our band and the Rev. Bockholts, also go our sincerest God Bless You. Christine and Henry Matus t HALLETTSVILLE, TEXAS Dear Readers: Having a little time while my better half is sleeping and thinking about the wonderful time we all had at Bila Hora at Mrs. Teresia Vaichar's Birthday celebration. I've decided to come among you Members, it was a wonderful occasion for us to meet and listen to all the speeches of our Supreme Lodge officers at Bila Hora. They seemed to enjoy themselves in our country site and we certainly enjoyed them!

I remember our attorney, Brother August Kacir, as a young man full of life and pep, teaching in his first year in this Bila Hora Community. In fact, several of the members of that lodge gathered together to reminesce of Mr. Kacir's teaching days.

Brother Kacir must have had the song in mind: "Na Bile Hore, Sedlacek ore, Ma hezkou dceru, Dej mi ji boze" etc. He got his school and taught at Bila Hora, but he sure didn't get the farmers daughter at Bila Hora as in the song but he did go on to school to better himself and try to make life a little easier than that of a country schoolteacher. He studied law in our capitol city, Austin, and made good as most of you know.

On the Sunday of the Bila Hora celebration, Brother Kacir supposedly knowing the territory, which he pointed out to his wife — where as a young man he hunted quail, rabbits and racoons, missed the road. It was a good laugh on him.

Our Brother Chupick in his speech also reminesced saying he had always wished he could have visited Bila Hora while a young man.

Dear readers, I an not so old yet as not to remember my mother's telling us her children, of her experiences during the Civil War in this part of the State.

Grandpa Philip Bucek was raising cotton as was most other folks here abouts as that was their money crop. One year in the usual manner they loaded the cotton on a wagon, hitched three span of oxen — generally there were three or more wagons going at one time together as they had to camp overnight in the open before they reached the city of Columbus, Texas, where they , sold their crop and returned with barrels of flour, cans of coffee and other provisions; this particular time they came back

Wednesday, November 26,

1953

home without any flour. My grandmother asked about the flour, whereupon my grandpa threw a sack of silver dollars on the table — there — no flour on the market, the soldiers got all of it. I'm wondering if Brother Chupick would have really liked to live in those times.

Yes, we have had in our lives two ugly wars that most of us remember, but both were fought on foreign soil while the Civil War was fought right here. Times were hard during and after the Civil War for the settlers who often lacked essentials of life but they also had to combat malaria fever brought on by stagnant, undrainable rain water which bred mosquitoes and wiped out many families. In fact the fever was so bad in some settlements that people fled for their lives leaving their homesteads with only what they could carry.

Young members, may I suggest you pull out your Texas history books and review them to get some insight on who fellows such as Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and others really were and what they experienced. Then you can more readily vizualize what our forefathers endured to give us Texas as it is Today. Then some of you will also realize, possibly respect more fully, how a lot of our bent and work-worn old fathers and mothers who by the grace of God are still with us, courageously faded to prepare the way for you.

All of us oldsters living have in our lives experienced more, seen more than you young people ever will. It is as it should be --- but we tired oldsters feel that you in turn should honor your Czech ancestry, and not deny it, and whenever possible show us the courtesy of speaking Czech to us (our beloved language) if it only be a few mispronounced words. We shall love you for it!

Fraternally yours, F. K. Bucek Editor's Note: Many, many !,hanks to you Brother Bucek for this extraordinary letter and especially for its ending.

My sincere wish—may our young friends read with reverence every word of it and remember it for years to come, to be able to recite it to their children. — , An-wen! ♦ 4 • ( ) JOURDANTON, TEXAS Dear Friends and Readers, It has come to our attention that we have been lax in our job as organizer for our Lodge. Other companies have come in and sold policies to people that should have been good prospects for SPJST as we have members of their family already in our. Lodge.

We know that everyone is entitled to take insurance with the company of their own choosing. All we ask is that

VESTNIK - WEST. TEXAS

Women's Nook HLAHOL NOTES, HOUSTON LODGE 88 The turn-out Sunday afternoon, November 16th for the performance of "Obzinki na Vesnici" was splendid and heart-warming. I say this because the spirit in which the audience applauded the actors gave them enough courage to go on after so many problems and difficulties had been encountered during rehearsals.

This colorful presentation was the first opretta in the past three years and in making the decision concerning the

Strum 21 kind of play we would like to do, an operetta was considered to oblige popular demand of our friends and members.

As you know, we have found it quite difficult to continue plays from time to time and in making this attempt we put our best forward hoping to revive mutual interest. Whether we have drawn the curtain for the last time or not is yet to be seen; time will only tell. It might even be interesting to get a reaction from some of our members and friends, and hear through the column of the Vestnik if you would like to offer your comments.

Sitting within very close range of the stage over my music, I had to admit that when the curtain was drawn for the first act, the dazzling picture of a typical Czech setting supporting a group of happy home-loving people in native costumes presented a sight that took my breath.

The reaction from the audience was obviously much like mine for I could almost hear the heart beats of those close to me; or at least, a momentary silence fell over the crowded room when everybody held their breath. Then suddenly a burst of loud applause .broke out.

We want to express our thanks and appreciation to one and all Tor making up such a responding audience; for the encouraging expressions made the actors.

Our thanks also goes to those who contributed toward the bazaar and made it a success; to the ladies of the Birthday Club for their many hours contributed in designing and working the quilt; and last but not least, the ladies and gentlemen who contributed in various ways in the kitchen and saw to it that tasty foods and beverages were plentiful. Might mention that the sausages served won a mote of special praise and a repeat order at the first opportunity would be appreciated.

Reporting for the Hlahol Dramatic Club, I am Sincerely, Naomi Kostom • " • (

we be given a chance to show you that SPJST can match or do better on any policy.

We want our Lodge to grow and remain active. We cannot \do this without new members. So please if your relatives or friends are thinking of taking out insurance, refer, them to us, or let us know so that we may have the opportunity to contact them.

Have you looked over your insurance policy lately? Are you still adequately covered for the size of your family?

Perhaps your financial status has improved and you would like to revise your policy or take an additional one. Let us tell you about the Mortgage Insurance Plan SPJST now offers. For any information feel free to call us any time. The number is Porter 94751.

WEST, TEXAS Thank you, Dear Girls, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Novosad The Chrysanthemums are in their • e (—_ glory now. I'm sure most of you are enjoying your blooms as much as I am..

LODGE VERNOST 51, ELLINGER This is to inform you that our annual Nearly every home in our pretty town meeting and election of officers will be of West has a riot of chrysanthemuma held Sunday, December 7 at the Post blooming, heralding autumn and Thanks Office Building. All Members of our Lod- giving. Even the football game fans have ge are urged and invited to be present adopted the huge chrysanthemum corsage with school color streamers to give at 1:00 p.m. — Thanks gaiety to the occasion. The ChrysanD. A. Juren themums are sort a last fling at outFinancial Secretary

,...,trana 22 door gaiety before we get closed in for the winter.

Texas Autumns are beautiful. The tree studded hills of Texas are vivid with colors as most trees have already been nipped by a little frost. The autumn air smacks with thoughts of pumpkins, turkey, pecans, sweet potatoes, etc. All of this totals up to a typical Texas Thanksgiving for our bountiful blessings.

No Texas Thanksgiving board would be complete without yams in some sort of style. Since many of our SPJST families live on farms where they grow their own, and since this year's crop was good, it behooves us to serve this delicious, golden nugget out of the gardens in some form other than the usual plain baked, fried or glazed.

Sweet potatoes (yams) are beginning to hold their own not only in nutritional value but in the science of medicine as well. Only recently a drug has been extracted and purified from the Mexican yam that is many times more potent than anything that we have to date found to combat the disabling inflammation of joints or arthritis as well as to alleviate the wracking pain of the arthritic patient. The drug is known as dexamethasone. The Mexican species of yam is doing that for mankind so dear reader, don't look down on the yam anymore!

We have compiled some recipes which just might fit into your menu on this nutritious food from your garden. I hope your family will like them very much.

We have found them exciting.

(See Recipes) Many of your gardens are lush with fresh herbs which will winter kill. Here is a trick for keeping fresh herbs green for a long time. Pick the leaves of basil, parsley, marjoram or chervil from the stems and wash in very cold water. Fill sterilized jars to the top with the washed, crisp leaves, crowding them in as much as you can. Then ,cover to the very top with fresh olive oil and seal in the usual way. Store the ars until ready to use. Once opened the oil may be drained off and used for salads or souces, and the herbs will have a fresh garden flavor. For those of you who use instant coffee, save the coffee jars, they are the right size for your refrigerator door shelves, for storing your herbs.

I cannot pass up the opportunity to mention the 25th anniversary supperdance given November 15 at the SPJST Hall No. 54 here at West for Christine and Henry Matus. They had a. large crowd of well wishers. They are my immediate neighbors and all of the neighbors living around them sat together to chat and get better acquainted'. We were all in accord that as neighbors Chris-

V ASTNIK — WEST, TEXAS tine and Henry are the finest! Christine was one of the first to offer me slips, starts and plants from her garden when I moved to West and started my friendship garden. I have since passed those slips and plants on to others from Christine's original plantings. There is just you and your hubby now, but we all wish the both of you many more happy years together!

On the other side of the ledger is the sudden passing away of Sister Anna Kos of Dallas Lodge Jaro 130. Every inch a gentlewoman, she fonined a backdrop of Czech refinement and culture for the Lodge and Sokol youngsters. Her daughter Frances was amoung us. She was always cheerful, and smiling — everyone loved her. • She remained petite and beautiful to her last breath! To Papa Kos, and to your daughter Frances, your husband Jake, goes our sincerest sympathy on your loss. Only one experiencing such a loss can full appreciate your ache and pain. May Time the Healer, be merciful to the three of you!

The District Meetings are now over — only the memories linger on. as the Editor and I covered each of them, we could see the results of their being, their influence in getting better acquainted, forming new and true friendships, we could see the congenielity and understanding of brother for brother, sister for sister. It has made us all more in the image that our Creator intended man to be, in short has been wonderful. Our Supreme Lodge has become not just a company but has become Brothers Marek, Hejny, Chupick, Kacir, Koliha, Urbanovsky, right on down the line, with our Directors not in the background but taking active part in our doings on the local lodge levels, the Districts and even with our Youth. God bless them all!

The long tiring trips—there and back — to the more distant Districts, the tire trouble we had, the lost hat (your editor left his spanking new hat parked on a nail in the Lodge Bila Hora Hall and the good Brother President Dusek had to mail it to him) or the time we went to the District Meeting which was held in San Antonio and I forgot to put my overnight bag in the car which held my Sunday shoes. I rode to San Antonio in my "papuce" old-comfortable almost worn-out houSe shoes! Your Editor, bless him, rode all up and down the streets of San Antonio looking for a shoe store that might be open so early on a Sunday morning, so that I wouldn't have to go to the Meeting in my houseshoes!

All of these things seem dim and lost in the background to the genuinely warm friendships made, the enthusiastic District Meetings with their wonderful youth programs, where everyone

Wednesday, Noyember 26, 1958 from the tiny ones to the oldest members there were bouyed up with enthusiasm at the Meeting's success. It has all been worth it! We all have learned to be more friendly to each other.

The Editor and I give thanks this Thanksgiving for blessings of having had the opportunity of knowing you all better, for your warm friendship and our mutual fraternal love. We hope that you too, will remember the brotherhood in your prayers of thanks for your blessings.

Don't forget your right as a member to vote. It is very important that we elect competent, honest and interested leaders, for our officers. This past year has shown improvement in our lodge and we all want to see this continue. So come out and nominate the person of your choice and cast your vote.

The Christmas tree and program will be on December 14th at NIGHT at 7:30, Instead of having it in the day-time.

VESTNtK - WEST, TEXAS The change was made due to the CMB having some church service in the day time. So that way those people couldn't be present at the program with the children and anyway Christmas tree programs look better at night. So I hope you all can understand it - Dec. 14 at 7:30 o'clock at night.

Our Sisters are to be so kind and bring some cookies along so that after program we will have a little lunch, hot coffee and cookies.

You know that old Santa Claus will be real hungry - going so far in cold weather.

So you all don't forget that date and everybody is invited to come and bring the little folks to see Santa Claus. Good luck to, all and best regards to everyone Lillie Evicic ) • oto •

He went on to say that by a little advance planning a lot of headaches can be avoided when the Christmas rush is on. The Postmaster suggests that you stock up now on heavy wrapping paper, sturdy corrugated cartons, strong cord, and paper adhesive tape, for use in securely packing and wrapping your Christmas gifts. Remember also that you can include your Christmas cards or letter inside your gift package if you will just add the appropriate First Class mail stamp to the postage for the package itself.

Be sure to use only First Class four cent or seven cent Air Mail postage on your Christmas cards. All cards sent by First Class mail include a personal hand written message, whereas. a signature only is authorized on cards that are mailed at the three cent, Third Class rate.

The Postmasters stress that it is especially important to include your return address on every Christmas card envelope. Besides being socially correct, this is a big help to both you and your friends in keeping your mailing lists dp-to-date.
