Peach exemption is a $600 deduction.

That is, for each exemption you are allowed to make $600 tax free.

Exemptions determine the amount of tax-free income you arc allawed each year, and are devised to make the tax fair between single persons, marrd couples and large and small families, You are entitled to one exemption for yourself. You are entitled to one additional exemption if on December 31, 1958 you had attained 65 years of age, or if you were blind.

If you were both 65 and blind you are entitled to two additional exemptions.

You are also entitled to exemptions on the same basis for your wife, if you file a joint return.

If you file a separate return, you can claim your wife's exemption only if she has no income and was not claimed on any other taxpayer's return for 1958.

If your wife or husband died in 1958 the additional exemption for age and blindness are determined as at the date of death, rather than December 31st.

You are entitled to one exemption for each dependent. Additional exemptions for old age and blindness apply only to you and your wife or husband, not to dependents Each dependent must qualify under all five of the following conditions.

1. Dependent must have received over cne-half of his support from you in 1958.

2. Dependent did not have over $600 income in 1958, besides what you provided, unless the dependent was your child of stepchild under 19 years of age or if over 19 years of age, a full time student, in which case the dependent child can earn any amount as long as you actually provide over one-half of the cost of support.

3. Dependent is net claimed by any other taxpayer and does not file a joint return with another taxpayer. For instance, do not list a dependent married daughter who files a, joint return with her husband.

During the year 1958, we closed and/or renewed 422 certificate loans in the total amount of $104,607.30. On December 31, 1958, we had 2,949 certificate loans in our portfolio. Our certificate loans increased during the year from $576,329.27 to $592,615,84.

During the year 1958, the Supreme Lodge paid 265 death claims amounting to $258,094.51. This is a decrease by one, in number, but a slight increase in the amount of death benefits paid over 1957, we paid .266 death claims in the amount of $244;138.15. All of theSe death claims paid in 1958, were reported in the Vestnik regularly, from month to month. The double-indemnity claims paid amounted to $1,000.00 in each, of these two years.

Matured endowment claims paid in 1958 amounted to $24,000.00. .

Our bond and preferred stock holdings decreased during the year from $1,118,101.80 to $1,105,619.70.

During the year 1958, the Secretary of the Supreme Lodge prepared and with the President of the Supreme Lodge, executed, acknowledged and attested 163 releases, scores of partial releases, subfogation agreements, transfers and assignments, and other miscellaneous legal instruments.

Under our present by-laws and set-up every mortgage loan application received at the Supretyce Lodge involves the writing of approximately 10 to 15 letters; every application for a certificate loan involves the writing of approximately 3 to 5 letters, besides statements, etc. All this letter writing, together with the vast amount of inquiries and letters of all kinds, coming to the Supreme Lodge, that have to be answered, involves a great deal of correspondence and accounts for our yearly expenditure of approximately $3,000.00 for postage alone.

As disclosed by the books and records of the Financial-Secretary of the Supreme Lodge, during the year 1958, the interest collected by the Supreme Lodge

Wednesday, March -1. , 1959 on its mortgage loans amounted to $346487.24, as compared to $324,980.22 collected in 1957; the interest collected on certificate loans amounted to $26,704.06 as compared to $25,738.31 collected in 1957; premiums on certificates of members collected amounted to $625,493.65 as compared to $608,942.59 collected] in 1957; interest and dividends collected On stocks and bonds owned by the Supre,te Lodge amounted to $59,017.50, as compared to $34,667.50 collected in 1957. The amount of $59,017.50 interest and did.!fends collected on stocks and bonds includes $24,750.00 delinquent dividends collected on preferred stock owned by the Supreme Lodge, Which payment restored this stock to current conditiOns as of Dec. 31, 1958.

The revenue or royalty from oil production on real estate properties and royalty and mineral interests owned by the Supreme Lodge amounted to $7,992.05 as compared to $10,203.87 . received in 1957. This decrease in revenue from the oil holdings of the Suprenie Lodge due primarily to the curtailed production of oil in Texas during 1958.

The rent received from office space in the Supreme Lodge Home Office Building increased from $28,730.38 - received in 1957 to $28,903.48 received in 1958.

Our reserve fund increased during the year froTA $9,209,182.16 to $9,729,747.47 or a net increase of $520,656.31.

Our SPJST as far as its financial structure and affairs are concerned is growing very satisfactorily. So many of us are constantly referring , to that. In fact, considering the many handicaps under which the Supreme Lodge ha; operated and the many obstacles it has had to over come in its operation, over the years, it has made a remarkable growth. While our Order is a Fraternal Order, it should always be born in mind that its business affairs and interests must be or should always be conditeted, managed and transacted in the same manner, and in the same proven business way, in keeping with the same proven business methods and principles as any other business institution and its officers should be ajs competent and as well qualified in all respects as °Meet's â&#x20AC;˘ of any other financial institution of comparable - magnitude, size, scoph and character.

The fraternal societies pioneered life insurance in the United states and dominated it for many years. It would, there-

Wednesday, March 11, 1959 fore, follow naturally, that with that background and with their membership scattered all over the country to recommend their insurance, that the fraternal societies should have maintained their place of leadership in the insurance field. However, such is not the case. In fact, the amount of insurance on the books of the fraternal societies, at present, represents only a very small segment of the life insurance in force in this country. In the last 30 years, not a single fraternal insurance society, was organized, during which, time insurance companies were organized by the hundreds, and most of them seem to be doing very well. Why?

make and save, or lose thousards of dollars for the Order, annually, without your knowledge of either. This year you shall elect delegates to our convention next year. Now is the time to be mindful of how to provide something worthwhile for the future welfare of our Order. You can insure that by electing gdod, qualified and conscientious delegates to the next convention; delegates that have the best interest of the Order, really, at heart, and not those that are interested in nothing but being elected delegates to the convention and there serve either their own selfish interests or the special interests of some special group, without any regard for the welfare of the , Order.

Our Order 'has, great possibilities. It is often referred to as a "sleeping giant."

What onr Order aceomplishes from now on - depends on you and me. I am interested in the welfare of the SPJST, not only now, but also in its welfare after I am long gone and forgotten. Are you? Are we going to provide for the future growth of our Order at the next convention or are we going to put it •off again.

It is my hope that the next convention will take heed of the signs of the times, and also provide for the training of its own official personnel at the Supreme Lodge, so that it would always have some qualified younger men in wining at the Supreme Lodge, to replace any deceased, outgoing or retirlug Supreme Lodge officers. The work that is expected of the Supreme Lodge officers and that will be expected of thm'; in the future is of a specialized nature, because of the Czech language requirement, if for no other reason, and this requirement will persist for many years, even after the Czech language will cease to be used, generally, in our Order. Unless the supreme Lodge does provide such schooling and training for its future officers, it will not be passible for it in the future to obtain the right kind of official personnel for itself, and thereby maintain the Order for the purposes and preserve the traditions for which it was founded. Think this over seriously, because it really merits your consideration.

The fact that fraternal societies are being forced far into the background in the insurance field is causing great concern, and alarm, in the minds of many fraternal society leaders in this country. The night before the opening of tha National Fraternal Congress Con-• vention, at Miami, Florida, last September, a special plenary session of the delegates to the National Convention was held, for the purpose of ascertaining and determining the reasons, for this condition, and devising plans that the fraternal society should adopt to overcoTie it. Several reasons for this condition were advanced, the principal one being that the fraternal societies took it for granted that insurance would come to them, without any effort on their part etc. Several suggestions were offered and discussed how to correct the situation, among which, in my mind, the salient or the one most worthwhile how to overcome the stagnant condition of the fraernal orders, was, that the fraternal societies, in order to compete successfully with commercial life insurance companies, in addition to the fraternal features of insurance that they offer, and in addition to offering the same plans of life insurance, etc., as cornmercial life insurance companies, the fraternal societies should or must put the management of their societies, on the same plane as commercial life surance companies, by getting well qualified, competent, alert and aggressive officers — workable management — dsmand of them the same performance and results, provide for them the Fraternally yours, same consideration and the same atmosJ.

I wish to say that, as a. matter of fact, the subject of the Supreme Lodge participating in the celebration of the new Lodge 166, in Beaumont, Texas, and paying part of the expenses in connection with the installition of the new Lodge, was discussed in our October 9, 1958, Suprem Lodge meeting and in the discussion that followed it was brought out that the Supreme Lodge, never did participate in any expenses of a new Lodge when it was installed, consequently it was understood that the Supreme Lodge would not participate in the expenses of the new Lodge, so the matter was tabled.

Brother Cerny wanted to put on a good program so I volunteered to go onehalf of the expenses, we never at any time asked the Supreme Lodge, nor any one else for any re-imbursement, we did this of our own free will and expected no C7 'RI. HEil, contribution from anyone.

SPJST LODGE NO. 5t Dear Sisters and Brothers: I have not been at our last meeting.

Sunday Morelli, but having heard from different members that this was meeting with a big attendance and especially there were quite a lot of the ladies present, we always like to see the women come to the meetings and take p art in suggesting their ideas.

Among those present were few members who were not able to come to the meetings for a long time cause of illnesses, they were namely: Brother Leo and Sister Millie Girard of Waco both having been under the weather for some length of time, Sister Regina Hromadka who was in a car accident and Brother Emil Popp Who had an eye operation. Everybody was glad to see these members back, and hope all of you will stay well fray; now on.

We are glad to say that a motiob was made and carried, that at our next meeting 'a committee be appointed to organize a Youth Program. This will give the Youth of our Lodge an opportunity to have thier own gatherings and entertainmens.

The first dance after Lent will be on Easter Sunday, Music will be furnished by Slim Haislers Band of Cameron. We are looking forward to having a big crowd and to seeing all of you at this Easter dance.

Respectfully, Bennie Soukup.
