Wednesday, December 10, 1958 Reports from our Lodge so 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.

—HERALD—

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P. 0. BOX 400 TEMPLE, TEX.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK • to have a big sports column, either in Thoughts As The Year the Czech of the English section and you • can evaluate this particular type of activity for yourselves by the example of Is Ending the Dallas Baseball Club of our Lodge

Dear Members and Friends: It is to be remembered that the "Vestnik” is edited as a paper devoted to fostering fraternalism and better knowledge of life insurance to its membership on a truly fraternal level.

We are responsible to our Convention and it is our duty to promote ways, that would keep us united for the benefit of our associate lodges and the brotherhood as a whole.

Our paper is mailed to the eligible membership free of charge, but the tab is picked up by the treasury of our Supreme Lodge. We do think that it is necessary to mention here that the Editor owes the membership service to the best interest of all. We should all work together amiably and in brotherly harmony which will only then build our fraternity in the future.

The Vestnik has a big responsibility.

It is said that newspapers are an influential power and one can judge from the contents of any paper the kind of organization it represents.

There are a good many people who would like to influence the paper to cater their particular opinions without regard to sentiments of others. We feel, that we should edit our paper in such a manner so that our brotherhood would present an example of unity and real brother and sisterhood.

We will, therefore, endeavor to work for continued good influence amoung our members in the future, who favor peaceful cooperation and who believe that the leadership of our Order should stay undisturbed in the hands of the Convention's board of elected leaders.

Now, dear readers, should someone order you to write something in our Vestnik for the good of our Order in a fraternal spirit, yon just might be in a dilemma. This sometimes also confronts your Editor. He does not like to admonish or remind you constantly of your duties as members of a fraternal order;

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." how we should conduct ourselves properly in this brotherhood, etc., although it is a part of our task and obligation.

If I am to be a good Editor, I must see to it that our Vestnik (Herald) is so edited, that it would be welcomed by every member of our fraternity and his family; expected weekly as a friend and their companion.

We do not care to elevate ourselves above others, or use words that are difficult to understand. On the contrary, it is our sincere wish that we should all stand on the same level and understand each other well. Our paper should be interesting to every member of our fratenal fa.nily with its articles in the different sections. These are the type of articles your Editor welcomes and searches for daily.

In the first place, we thank all of our contributors of the past year for their assistance, for their news clippings etc.

They are the ones that are helping us make our Vestnik interesting to a wide circle of friends and readers and we solicit their continued support from all of our different lodges, from the Women's Circles, from our Youth, from the Sokol Units, from sour students in our high schools and from our other institutions of higher learning. We would also like

No. 8' and just how much it has gained in favorable publicity and increased membership for that lodge, or the Ennis youth, with its Beseda, dancers and athletes who appeared on Television several times.

To all of the above mentioned activities, we need the help of friendly correspondents from our respective lodges all over Texas. If you really encourage your young people to participate and if by giving us this information about their activities in our schools, about their entertainments, their sports, hunting, fishing, and from our little cooks and homemakers in our midst, then I assure you the Vestnik will be interesting for every member and his family. If you help me make our Vestnik to be a real Family Paper, you will then be able to recommend it with pride to your neighbors and acquaintances and we shall gain many new friends as we go.

Should you know of anything else that could improve our Vestnik, please do not hesitate to give, us your thoughts. We shall be glad to hear from you.

Please keep in mind that our Vestnik is read and subscribed to by non-members who are scattered all over the U.S. and it is our sincere wish that the Vestnik remain in the best of limelight every where.

It isn't always easy to stay in the best light when some of us regard brotherhood so very lightly. We should all think about this very seriously.

Sometime ago. I reminded you that every human being should practice the teachings of Christ, that we should love our fellowman by being considerate of his shortcomings. For this reason let's probe our fellow creature with an indulgent gaze before we judge him so that we in turn would receive a merciful judgement.

Let's all (admit that we too could make mistakes and with sincere goodwill, let's;

Wedneeclay, December 10, 1958 all be friends! With this sort of conduct we shall prosper in our lodges, gain new members and so will our SPJST in the years to come.

To Be Pre -lent, Mind Your Manners!

The admonition "Mind Your Manners' given us from infancy by our parents, which has the wisdom of Solomon, is as applicable today in this jet age as It was in Biblical times.

Looking back into the business career of many years from which I've retired, and comparing the various individuals met, their thinkings, actions etc., I find that the simple "please" and "thank you" did not humble a person but on the contrary elevated him to higher regard by this fellow workers as well as executives.

Many young highly educated men and women coming from colleges right into executive jobs, regard the office personnnel as rank and file where the please and thank you taught us by our parents would be out of place. The armed services may have had some responsibility for this where officers and enlisted, men didn't hobnob together, however, these so thinking young executives usually weeded themselves out, for they just couldn't fit in. Not all young men and women were like this, but there were a lot of them.

Many a young executive was given a slap in the face by some clerk with a "you're welcome" and a smirk, when he forgot to thank them for their assistance.

So, you see, good manners are just as much in style as yesterday. It costs nothing, just a little effort and conside eration for the other fellow asked to help you out to say Please and Thank You! It breeds good will, fellowship and future cooperation. So, as the song goes "no it4atter what you ask for from the stars, by saying please when you ask for it and thank you from the bottom of you heart, when you get it, these two magic words will open doors with ease." and you just may get to be president, please?

How T© Avoid Tempt ton There was once an anxious man who asked his king how to avoid temptation.

The king told the man to take a vessel brimful of oil, and carry it through the streets of the city without spilling one drop. "If one drop is spilled," said the king, "your head shall be cut off,' and he ordered the executioners, with drawn swords, to walk behind the man to parry out his orders.

There happened to be a fair going on in the town, and the streets were crowded with people. However, the man was very careful, and he returned to the king without having spilled one drop of the oil. Then the king asked: "Did you see any one . while you were walking the streets?"

"No, I was thinking of the oil; I noticed nothing else," said the man.

"Then," said the king "you have learned how to avoid temptation ' 4, • ( Man is inclined, when in the wrong, to lay the blame on someone else. Like a email boy who was standing on the cat's tail.

LESIKAR BOY CAPTURES PRESS KFJ Z 'EYES' CONTEST A 6-year-old boy in the first grade at Castleberry Elementary School received a check for $1,000 -- first prize in the Press-KFJZ Prize-Eyes contest.

The boy, Bruce Lesikar, will share his winnings with other members of the family who helped him with the answers.

Bruce perfectly matched the 35 pairs of eyes with their owners in the popular contest. At least he was sure of two sets of eyes - those of KFJZ's popular kid entertainers, Mickey and Amanda.

Actually the contest was a family project for the L. W. Lesikars, but they en tered the winning answers in 6-year-old Bruce's name.

Helping were his father, a general contractor, his mother and Brother, Craig, 4. Little sister, Gail, 1, didn't give much help, Bruce says.

All of the Lesikars have fun with contests. They have entered other contests but have not been so lucky as this time.

Twenty dollar prizes went to Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Posival and E. F. Pechacek, Will Leshikai and others.

• ( * Tommy, was running an errand, for his sister. He went to the drug store and asked the clerk for a box of powder.

"Certainly," said the clerk, aiming to have a, joke he added, "do you want the kind that goes off with a bang?"

But Tommy was equal to the occasion.

"No," he answered, "the kind that goes on with a puff."

Recommendation Doctor: Did you go to another doctor before you came to me?

Patient: No, I went to a druggist.

Doctor: And what foolish advice did he give you?

Patient: He told me to come to you.

Any Man Who Has Income, Has Money For Life Insurance All of us labor under the big delusion that life insurance premiums are paid out of surplus, saved money, and so of course, "we have no money for life insurance."

Life insurance is something which is bought out of current income. As long as we keep thinking that we pay for life insurance out of the money we have saved, then we never have the money to buy it — tor we never have extra money.

We have to plan to pay the premiums out of current income, out of the money that we will earn in the months ahead.

We've got to give life insurance a place in the budget just as we give food, clothing, lunch money, and street car fares a place in the current income expenditures.

Prospects say, "I have no money for insurance." What they mean to say is, "I haven't one hundred or two or three hundred dollars laid up that I don't need so I can put it into insurance."

The Way to answer such a prospect is to stick fast to the fundamental that life insurance isn't paid for out of savings, but it is paid for out of current income.

Arid that as long as a man h:as an income he has money for life insurance. ) • Jr• •

A Christmas Project

VRSTNIX — WEST, TEXAS mas season a happy one for all the children, and not just those children with wealth at their command, should look around to discover other ways of helping their fellowmen. Perhaps it would not, be a financial contribution of any kind. It might be helping them to obtain a certain job, or to get tlie-r ,111,dren in school, to secure medical help, or other forms of aid they might need.

Should all of us assume the task of one such undertaking, our community would greatly profit because the spirit of brotherly love and friendship enormously enriched by the active efforts of those who are able to help those who might be temporarily struggling through difficult times.

One final comment on this subjet is that those who follow the e s g e;estic a and adopt a project for ihair faint y, themselves, will be the real bene'...claries through living the Christmas spirit and gaining the full satisfaction which comes from doing what Christians should do at a time when they are celebrating the anniversary of the birth of Jesus. ) • 4,

Sisters and Brothers: The new insurance report on the cover of our Vestnik is for the past eleven months and shows a total of $1,757,500. sold to date. We have just this month left and then comes the end of the year.

Sell them and sell them ours. We have a suitable plan for everyone.

Help your lodge Organizer whenever you can Help him or her make this last month the banner month of the year.

STNIK — WEST, TEXAS

TO OUR READERS AND FELLOW SPORTSMEN, HUNTERS and GUN HOBBYISTS It has been my experience for a great many years, after reading different magazines, books and such, never have I seen any reading matter that would be of interest to the outdoor sportsman and for the education of the beginner or novice in the proper use, and safe handling of firearms in our Czech papers or Sow ia magazines.

The pia po, o f these articles would ,znortsmanshin, safe gun be to nn

handling and n,enern1 information about guns in various calibers, guages and the choi ce of loads, shot sizes and general balli stics which often times mean a suece;, ,,11.11 hunt with a full game bag or a failure such as a wounded buck you may trail and never find, only to be lost to

you. There is a great deal written on this subject considering upland game, water fowl, varmints, predators, turkey, not to mention our elusive and most prized trophy "Our Texas White Tail Deer."

May I introduce myself? My name is Otto L. Hosek resident of Dallas, Texas. All of my adult life, I was born in Ennis, Texas in 1918 in the community of Telico, on a farm where as a growing boy I experienced the wonders of nature and many of the things which patterned some phases of my life.

Thanks to father who learned of my interest in guns sooner than I --- a young kid — realized, and in due time "Santa" brought me a BB gun from Dallas.

Needless to say my joy was everwhelming and I hardly slept that night. My prized nickel plated "rifle was at my side not to mention the pride of ownership of such a fine weapon.

My Dad, your editor, was a good hunter, marksman and above all a sportsman and we often journeyed into the woods together. He gave me instruction and taught me to observe and be alert and ready when opportunity presented itself. Above all he gave me the great chance to figure things out for myself and act accordingly. All this is essential to a boy eager to learn, and in later years, I found myself doing the same with other boys whose parents entrusted theme to me for a cold crisp winter hunt and companionship for rabbits or squirrels.

As time goes fast -- yes, time came, I just outgrew my air rifle and had to have a 22 like other neighbor boys. Being a good boy? and 8 years old, there was a long cardboard box hanging on the Christmas tree in our old country school house — yes that's what it was a single snot bolt action 22 from "Sears" and mind you, two boxes of 22 shots.

Believe me the turtles in our stock tank sure caughtthe "dickens."

Sure that was just the beginning.

During my boyhood days I had a buddy who used to come and visit me and teach me the art of hunting, also he taught me to swim. He was a great pal, good old Wesley Herzan, and in later years when we grew up we truly enjoyed some fine hunts together and talked of our boyhood and all those simple things we enjoyed. Sorry I couldn't be a fine and talented musician like "C-s " After graduation from school in Dallas my first job was in a taak — no it didn't work out bP"?I'',2 down deep I felt some yearning and talent for the machine age where things needed to be thought out and realized, so my path lcd to one of the best, opportunities in

Strang 23 Dallas, where I served my apprenticeship as machinest, tool and die makes, sheet metal model maker for patent offices and various lines in that field, under the guidance of that master craftsman Mr. Vaclav Kraft. He is my dear friend and even now, after his many years of retirement, I still use a lot of his theories and apply many of the things he taught me. Thanks again Bro. Kraft.

At present I am associated with The Atlantic Refining Company's main office in Philidelphia, Pa., and branchea in Dallas and other cities and foreign lands. Our department here is the Lab Geophysical Research and Development.

We have exploration and seismic parties over the U.S. and Canada, off shore operations and holdings abroad.

This work requires arrays of instruments and modern calculators which are replaced continually by new ideas and research, Truly most rewarding work for progress and new methods.

My hobbies are the Great Outdoors, nature, all outdoors activities, moun tains and scenic wonderlands which I visit with my wife Bessie with whom .I split my vacation time. The other half?

Yes, you guessed it. A good well-planned hunting trip with picked compare* ions for big game, be it Wyoming, Ooler: rado, Utah, New Mexico or Texas, as le convenient.

May I tell you more? — Next time — about our safari (hunting expedition) inthe Hill Countr y of Texas. Sure, doer and turkey. Will you be interested?

With best wishes for your deer and turkey hunt in 1958.

YkSTNfK — WEST, TEXAS onion and garlic may add a piquant flavor to a dish, it can mean "rocks" in an older stomach -- where alkalizers become necessary. A lot of Czech dishes were brought over from the French kitchens in the migration of its citizenship during historical upheavels. Perhaps someday this "a la, gourmet" will taper off to basic Plain Jane cooking again.

TodaY, I would like to give you girls a recipe for an Orange Jello-Carrot-Nut Salad, which is very satisfying; not too rich, and keeps well in your refrigerator. It's one way to get your family to eat raw carrots. It's good! Your Editor Editor and I had it for Thanksgiving.

The recipe calls for one tablespoon of white vinegar, which must be watehed as some vinegars are stronger than others. This should not be to strong.

WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: It has been raining at West, and as one sits indoors by the fire, reading, cooking, sewing and remembering that just a couple of weeks more will bring Christmas, and the end of the year close on its heels.

During this holiday season thoughts of food, and more food, and the gourmet recipes are much sought by the cooking set of our society. Exotic combinations with their array of herbs and spices have made even the lowely green bean "a la gourmet and the fever is still going strong. One begins to wonder if just plainly boiled, fried, and baked victuals will ever find their comeback!

With everything cooked "a la gourmet" highly spiced and subtly seasoned with juices and wines, it would seem the dishes vying with each other for recognition would lose their "specialty" or individuality as does a beautiful !home, well landscaped, on a too small lot, where the neighboring houses hide all of its exclusive features. You've seen homes like that, I'm sure. Well, there just may come a day when plain boiled spuds with salt will become the "piece de resistance' , when the appetites weary of all the spices "al a gourmet."

Our Czech cooks used spices to dress up the less expensive cuts of meat, tough and old poultry and muscular wild game.

They marinaded in spicy vinegar and wines to tenderize the tough muscles of the game and feat. They spiced the gravies to give glamour to plain boiled potatoes or dumplings. To a well cooked meal, only one dish was of the today's gourmet variety, usually the meat dish to add contrast. That is why I'm wondering how long our stomachs will take this spicing, rich cream and wine drenched eating. Where the mixture of

Orange-Jak-Carrot-Nut Salad To one cup of water (almost boiling) dissolve on pack of orange jello. Strain the juice off from a small can of crushed p ineapple. This juice will Not be used.

Add enough water to the drained off pineapple to make one full cup. Strain this water-pineapple liquid into the jello„ add one tablespoon of white vinegar, (not toostrong) and a dash of salt to the jello mixture. Mix well and refrigerate until almost set. Now, stir in the crushed uaneapple, one-half cup grated raw carrotts, one-third cup chopped pecans, and refrigerat until the Jello is set. This is delicious.

I would also like to give you a recipe for Polish Love Knots that came from a Polish bride in Newfoundland at the American Air Base there. It was called Polske Chroustky. To four eggs and one egg white, add one-half teaspoon salt beat vibrously with rotary beater for five minutes; then add one-eighth cup confectioner's sugar, one cup sifted flour blended well and then blend in onehalf sup rolled oats. To this finally add one teaspoon vanilla flavoring and one teaspoon of rum of sherry extract. Turn out on floured board and knead dough until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Out dough in half, then roll each half to about one-eighth thickness. Cut strips three-fourths inch wide and four inches long from this dough. At one end of the strip cut a slit one-inch long and pull the other end through it. Fry in hot deep fat (375 degrees) until golden brown. Drain and Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. If rum or sherry is omitted, add one tablespoon of water. In making the knot, twisting the strip will give it a fluted appearance.

You can keep these for a couple of months in a cookie jar and Wiry' taste

Wednesday, December 10, 1958 just- as good as they do when fresh, in fact, .better. Try them on your family.

To those of you who are wondering what to give the homemakers, in your family or families, may I suggest you look at the wonderful Hang-On-TheWall hand electric beaters. They are light in weight, come in colors and save the cook the wear and tear of beating the meringues and pie fillings with a wire hand beater, or the hand turn beater that have a tendency to jump out of gears at just a crucial moment. She will love you for your thoughtfulness and will remember you whenever she uses the beater.

Another nice gifts that she might appreciate yet not buy for herself is an electric skillet. They do not burn food and have all sorts of possibilities. They are especially welcomed to the homemaker who has an eight hour office job and cooks the evening meal.

Our pretty town of West, also known as the Little Bohemia of Texas, is really growing. New houses are mushrooming up around us. Where two years your Editor and I were, on the edge of town, having just moved here, today we are well built in. It's nice quiet living here, especially oh Sunday mornings one appreciates the town's beauty, when the soft chimes of the Czech Moravian Church, carried by the wind, carry the blessing of the Lord's Prayer over West and her wonderful people. 'Their organ-. ist Mrs. Libbie Plasek can really make the church organ talk, and while the pastor inside is ferverently praying for the salvation of the soul of man, the chimes, carressed by the breeze bless those beneath! Yes, it's nice living.

I am Fraternally, The Editor's Wife • ► • ( FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS GO TO CHURCH West, Texas Recently a Garden Club group in an upper northern state conducted a tour of community churches.

They 'visited ten houses of worship which were literally "dressed -up" for the services, for groups of the city's Garden Club members took it upon themselves to promote the dress up in their

Wednesday, December 10, 1958 city's churches with beautiful flowers, shrubbery and potted plants.

The project was highly successful and gave a world of inspiration to the people from all over the area who came for the tour.

Every church visited offered ideas and thoughts that could be highly constructive in decorating the church because each of thern had different architectual designs that called for individual treatment.

The following are some of the suggestions that might prove helpful to you who are being asked by the "flower-committee'' to contribute flowers to your church's Sunday services as your name comes up.

One church on the hill, a gracious and beautiful edifice dating back to the 1700 era, displayed a decoration in its lobby of colorful glad,s, definitely modern in manner yet of nice color and color rhythm and fitting for the simple church setting. Inside, a large arrangement of the same flowers was in front of the lectern, and a smaller one on the piano. Big brass bowls on the floor at the back held branches of shiny rhodoclendon leaves.

At another church, everyone was delighted with a mass of gray red geraniums in the !vestibule. Potted plants lined, up on three long, green steps made a gay bank along the side. Inside, the white wooden buckets filled with gay flowers stood just behind the back pews.

Dark blossy urns filled with blossoms graced the, front of the sanctuary, adding a note of warmth. This old church has been in continuous use since the early 1800's.

For a little country church nothing could be more fitting than a mass of black-eyed susans in a copper jardiniere to greet the worshipers on the steps, .or plans on stands along a wall, or a large grouping of wild flowers of yellow adorning the center setting.

One church which the above group in,ilad was decorated with two bowls of yellow gladiolus repeating the lines of the seven-branched candlesticks of the Jewish faith.

In another church, white gladiolus with a few red lillies in a brilliant brass bowl centered against rich red curtains created ,a dramatic effect.

An Episcopal Church had an immense black crock on its porch filled with garden and wild flowers in gay informality.

Inside on a tiny altar close to the baptismal font, was a wee, dainty arrangement of garden pinks and babysbreath.

Behind the altar a rich, old gold curtain formed a background of yellow mums.

t THIN — WAIST, TIMM here also were red violet hydrangeas used as a focal point and pale blue-violet delphiniums fora back ground. They looked perfect for close view, but lost their identity from the back pews, looking like big dark holes in the effect.

In a Catholic Church, white arrangements in white containers were used, but since the Church has too much white in its walls, woodwork, etc., the effect was lost. This is something to keep in mind.

Sky blue 'arid white were the colors of the Jewish Center carrying out the colors of the Jewish Flag.

In a Russian Orthodox Church with its rich vivid colors and ikons, its luxurious damasks, etc., only a few flowers strategically placed are required.

ESTNIK — WEST, TEXAS much about principles and tasks of the Order but in my first year of membership, I had the opportunity to attend a District Meeting and although there were many speeches in Czech which I couldn't understand, I got my first good insight into the functions and procedures of our SPJST. Now, in my second year as a member I could witness the installation, the founding of a new lodge, and that -- I feel — is a highlight in the history of SPJST and in the life of any of its members. As Brother Hejny pointed out during the ceremony Sunday afternoon, the last installation took place back in 1933 and at that pace, not too many of the present ineirobers will have the chance to participate in the next ceremony of this kind. But all who were present at Beaumont, will agree with me, that those were very solemn moments when all the audience stood at attention, and the new members of the new Lodge 166, guided by the officers of the supreme Lodge, made their vows.

Even the youngest of theM, only 6 months of age (and the only Czech blooded member as their President Bro. Cerny had told us) was keeying quiet although again and again he did raise voice.

WecTuesday, DeeAnnber 10, 1958

YOUTH CLUB Dear Vestnik Readers, During the months of October and November, the Teenagers of SPJST Lodge No. 84, Dallas, have been very busy.

To prove this fact, I'll give a brief summary of what we've been doing these past two months.

To begin with, on Tuesday, October 7, the Beseda Dancers danced at the D.C.C. a well-known Country Club in Dallas, as entertainment for their annual Supper. Then on Sunday the 12th we had our monthly Teen Meeting. On Saturday the .18th we had the pleasure to dance the Beseda at the State Fair of Texas in the Woman's Building. On Sunday the 19th, there were a number of Teenagers present at the monthly Mother Lodge Meeting at which there is always a good attendance. But the day we were most honored was when we were privileged to dance the Beseda at the Texas Fraternal Congress Convention held at the Dallas Statler Hilton Hotel.

On the 31st, the last day or that active month, we threw a "real gone" Halloween Party, at which all the "kats" went through a genuine horror house, had "witchy" refreshments and danced to the music of the Bel-Airs.

During this month we also received an especially nice letter from one of our Teenage members, Bill Schuster by name who went away to school at the University of Notre Dame.

I sure miss the fun that I have had since I've joined the Lodge and hope to be dancing those "crazy" polkas again you don't realize how much you do miss something until you have left it. For the benefit of "seniors" who are planning to go to college, study now and study hard. Many people say that college life is a lot of fun; but a lot of them forget to say how hard it is. Believe me, it's not easy. I study on the average of 5 to 7 hours a day don't think I've studied that much in my four years of high school!)

The brief but all-inclusive "Hello" telephone salutation most people use today is said to have been started by Mr. Thomas A. Edison. People used to say "Are you there?" One day, according to the story, Mr. Edison responding to a ring on his line yelled "Hello ! " into the mouthpiece. This most satisfactory word has gone clear around the world. Could you think of a better word to use?
