BROTHERHOOD

CO ZAVIS1JE NECSPRCII!!!

Vzpominam dnu, kdy jeSte co miadik chodil jsem s kapelou ye Vidni i na deskern venkove vyhravati Joseftm v ptedveeer jejich svatkin — Obyeejne panima ma aneb matka oslavence nee° svateeniho mela ptipraveno a gtedti Pepici ba i Pepieky nas muzikanty eastovali. — V Borotine chodil jsem s domacimi jak jsme rikali "vyhravat" ba je gte i zde v Ennis s bYvalYm bratrem redaktorem Mouekou jsme nekdy "vyhravali."

Dnegni svet je tak zmodernisova,nY, na, vgechny ty mile pkatelske projevy ne naame easu. — Praire proto snad, mam s tech nagich ZenskYch krouZkil takovou radost, a modlim se, aby se nejen udr'Zell ale i vgude rostli a povzbudili nag a nahradili nejak ty zapomenuta stare na.ge pekne zvyky.

Dobte vite, ze mnohe pane obyeeje ptipravili nam, mnohou radost a zblilivali nas v osadnim souZiti a tak i to nage obetavost povzbuzend, pro nas budovala nage spolkove sine na ktere bychom se dnes v ninohYch mistech viabec nezmohli.

Netikejte, — eh, co, — darmo vzponainat, nebot' chceme-li pinit sve poslani ma,me se snazit, obnovit kde jen mono ty stare pekne zvyky. — Hned yam povim prod.

Ovgem, ke jeden, dva, tfi to nedokaZeme, ale kaZda dobra snaha najde pomocnikA jen dobrou vein mejme. — Ty riejleastej g ptikiny neitspechu v nagi

nic dobreho a east() takovY kritik nema sam lepgiho planu ani ovgem ze nechce videti svYch vlastnich chyb.

Casto aby nebylo zle yule elen midi, odejde a vie se o to na ge snaZeni nezajima a takove ptipady zajiste ze znate ne jeden. — Jsou take lido, kteti velice radi poukazuji na slab& stranky svSich bliZnich, ale ,delaji jen velice malo, aby napravili sve vlastni slabosti.

Jinn vaZne ptieina na gich neUspechil, jsou pomluvy, ktere mezi narni nadelaji vice zla nea si mono domysliti.

Slovo pomluvy, nerozvaZne vysloveni je jako pavudina pustena do vetru — no necha se vziti zpet — ba rozleta se dal a dal. — Jinou vaZnou prieinou nagich neaspechn jest lhostejnost. Ach co? Wok oni (kdo?) to tam i beze mne spravi. — K tomu se druM to negt'astne , "odkladani".

Vgechno moZne co mame odkladame na posledni chvili. 2e "pry" ii ste udelame aZ zitra to, — co melo bYt udelano nainulY tYden, a tak i na ge spolkova prace vazne.

ZneuZiti diavery, jest jeden teZ dtvod riaMch eastYch nenspechil. KaZda skupina lidi, vYbor ma obeas nejake iizeni ve svern vedeni o neZ se deli s terni pouze Vesele svatky Velikonoeni Vara v§em kterY povaZuje za davery hodne a jako pieje VAS' pak sklarnani, kdy se dozvite, ze nektere osoby nedovedou bYti davery hodni.

REDAKTOR Avgak takovY elovek se sam jen kla-

spolkove praci jsou nam v gem zname a brzdi v mnohYch mistech kaki* i-ddovY postup. — NemtZeme je zde v gechny uvadeti, ale upozornime Vas sestry a bratti alespori na ty nepochybne nej vaZnejgi.

Pozorujte, ke kdykoliv v nekterych mi stech nekdo s tech "mlad gich" elenti pfajde s nejakou novou myglenkou, to vy skytnou se ihned ty kteti se zabYvaji vyhledavanim chyb na v gem a ye vgem kde sami nemeli "prvni" slovo. Osoby kte ti trpi touto nemoci, nevidi na nikom

Federal Law le nthig Over S'S 1 by Lament Le Washington—Postmaster Gen. Arthur E. Summerfielcl set the public straight recently on why the governaaent regards bingo as a lottery banned by federal law.

He said that under federal court decisions, the classic identifications of a lottery are "consideration, chance and prize."

And no matter how you slice it, he added, in bingo there is a consideration in the form of the fee paid to play; there is no doubt of the element of chance, and prizes of cash or merchandise are offered.

This rule even applies to charity bingo he said, because the postal lottery law makes no exception • for worthy causes.

He also pointed out that re-gardless, of state laws to the contrary, it is illegal to advertise lotteries through the mails, whether ads are carried interstate or intrastate.

He said this restriction applies to newspapers as well as magazines and periodicals, plus notices sent through the mails by indilvidUals or organizations.

The reason why — Ever so often — in fact, all too often -- some organization or individual wants to have a news story published advertising bingo or other games of chance. We have explained it many times, and we're sure this won't be the last story on the matter, but the information in this release from Washington contains the latest information.

We're not going to jeopardize our mailing permit, so please don't be unhappy the next time it gets left out of any news turned over to us for publication. ) • 40 9 (— With the aid of x-ray examinations in certain patients, radiologists are now better able to judge the amount of calcium in a child's bones.

Averaging $55 per policyholder, this brought the total of life insurance funds to $900 per policyholder.

This new capital came frona the increase in aggregate assets of all IT. S. life insurance companies, which rose to $107,419,000,000 at the year-end, according to the Institute of Life Insurance.

Adding $12,000,000,000 made available for reinve4ment from maturities, refundings, amortizations, and sales of old investments, this made, a total of $18,429,000,000,000 available for investment in the year.

Spring Finds District III Buzzing With Activity At Meet The Spring meeting of our SPJST District III, held at Lodge Pokrok No. 84 in Dallas, Sunday, March 22, found the District Meeting well attended by enthusiastic crowd of home folks and guests from Houston and Beaumont.

As the agench unfolded itself, it was evident that the aggressive group of young people that comprise the officers who were conducting their last official meeting, had been hard at work with tentative district planning.

Youth, and District Youth Camps were the keynotes of the meeting with an adrent following of supporters. It's another first for District III, for they immediately elected and investigating Comddttee to look into the matter of campsites and policies concerning same, Brother VrIo's orgenizers also received special cognizance for their achievements in "sales" as well as the "presentation of the traveling troops, both of which District III won, one for the Most insurance sold and the other for the

District I Champions Eat Turkey The Kovar Hall, Lodge No. 38 was the scene last Tuesday March 10th, to a Banquet of Champions, who in this case, were the organizers of District I. Sixty five organizers, their wives and special guests by invitation assembled to do homage to the Victors in the cont2st held between District I and II. The Kovar sisterhood had the tables prepared for the Feast with white covering and vases of flowers placed across the length of the tables.

Brother Vaclav Barina, of District I, the Winners in this instance, gave the blessing for the gathering. He is an excellent after dinner speaker.

Heaping plates of Turkey, dressing and a wide assortment of other foods, plus pastry, tea or coffee, were served by the hostesses of Kovar Hall. The food was delicious and disappeared with appreciable rapidity. You've heard it said that the best way to cornliment cook's food is to clean the plate ----- that is what we did at Kovar. After the leisurely meal, short speeches were in order, where officers of the Supreme Lodge, Brothers Marek and his lovely missus; Chupick and his charming lady; Urbanovsky and his petite wife; Koliha and his demure wife; Kacir and his enchanting missus and brothers Hejny and Navratil (Bachelors this time) each made a fitting talk to the Organizers whose banquet they attended.

Brother Vaclav Barina opened the speaking with: "We are indeed glad that you are with us here at Kovar.

To Brother Mikolaj (loser) and his men, welcome to Kovar, we hope you will like it with us and that you will come back sometime." Applause.

Brother Mikolaj then stated: "I, too, want to congratulate you oranizers again, who have made it possible for District I to be winners. Brother Barina said that he wanted you to come to Kovar. Our agreement at the time was that the losers were going to make it easier for the winning organizers to• make the banquet. (Some organizers couldn't make it for other commitents.) Brother Mikolaj called the roll on the organizers Who sold $5,000 or more for the alloted period of the contest. "it has been a wonderful thing, we have worked together and helped, our Order by doing this," says Brother Mikolaj. "It doesn't matter who wins

and who loses, the important thing is to help our Order gain more members and awaken the people to the fact that we do have a good product. In our lodges, we all co_ :e. together for a good time and these are the things that we need. Our forefathers worked hard --- we are not working like they did." Brother Mikolaj then introduced first the officers of the Supreme Lodge and wives, attorney Kacir and Editor Hosek then Directors Navratil and Stepan.

Supreme Lodge president Edward Marek spoke in Czech, taking the opportunity to thank everyone for the hospitality. "We are all having a good time here and at this time it is only right that we should thank those who made this possible," said Brother Merck. Then he spoke in English. "We are gathered here this afternoon as fraternalists, to enjoy the breaking of bread with each other, to enjoy each other and the fruits of our efforts. Certainly there is always `vainer' and 'loser'," said Brother Marek, and to find the biggest sports, it is to go to the losing side," stated Brother Marek. He complimened both District organizers and the men under them for the fine spirit of sportsmanship displayed.

Speaking of last year's tabulation for insurance sold, Brother Merck remarked: "we rank among the best in writing insurance and securing the lowest average age (under 20 years), so looking into the future, we may say that the vision of the fraternals and especially ours, is in secure hands because it is going into the hands of younger men and women and therefore, have nothing to fear."

"I want to give thanks to hte Youth Movement," continued Brother Marek, "and to those leaders in whose hands it rests. Many more Clubs have been organized and it is that which we are looking forward to, the youth of our Order to become interested. It is said that the best trained Youth is that trained in fraternalism. We have a duty that is far reaching into our communities, churches states and nation and we as a fraternal order train our youth in our lodge and gatherings such as this one tonight.

Again may I speak for myself and my wife who is here tonight for your fine hospitality. We had a good time and may God bless each and everyone of you," concluded Brother Marek to a round of applanse.

Brother Ben Mikolaj then introduced Brother Joe B. Plejny, Vic:e-Presidnet of the Supreme Lodge and State Organizer.

"Thank you Brother Mikolaj, brothers and sisters," began Brother Hejny, this

It is slow and it is a hard climb, but we are making progress and tonight proves that we are because this is something that we used not to have (like this tonight) and we are giving credit to the Districts, its membership and its organizers. It takes all of us to accomplish this. It takes every sister and brother to accomplish anything. Remember, it takes everyone and everyone of you working with us, for the goal we set out. If we don't have your backing and the support of the membership, the Supreme Lodge, officers can do nothing. If you don't support us, we cannot do our job right. May God Bless you, and thanks." concluded Brother Hejny. ,Brother Ben Mikolaj, introduced Supreme Lodge Secretary, Brother John Chupick, who laughingly began "I don't know where this impression came from that I talk so long." Seriously he then stated: "I think this is a wonderful occasion tonight that we come together and get better acquainted and there is no better occasion than this, I think, to break bread together and to enjoy each other's fellowship. I think we should have this more often and since Brother Mikolaj is such a great host, I think he should give us another occasion like this." Applause.

"It is nice to be here," continued Brother Chupick, "under the auspices of the SPJST I think it is a fine organization. In the Vestnik, I gave a compilation of last year's business and I believe it is a fine report. The SPJST is a wonderful organization and everyone in Texas should belong to it. I want to say again that I had a ,wonderful time and shall be looking forward to another time when I can talk as long as I would like, "merrily concluded Brother Chupick.

Brother John Koliha, Treasurer of our Supreme Lodge reiterated that it was nice for him and Mrs. Koliha to be here at Kovar, to enjoy this meal in fellowship. "In bringing out some of the facts tonight, I just want to call your attention to the fact that we cherish the work of our Charter Members, those Charter Members, those Charter Mel p -berswhotaedisgratOdeof ours. But let us remember that these Organizers of today are just as important as those Charter Members, because they are working to keep the SPJST living on forever. Therefore, let us remember to back these Organizers and help them do the great work.. they

Wednesday, March 25, 1959 have. It is the men in the Supreme Lod,ge who are constantly planning and helping the Organizers. It is important to have someone in the Supreme Lodge for the Organizers to go to. It takes somebody to plan and then it takes the foot soldiers to hold the ground. Brothers and sisters, the foot soldiers of our SPJST are our Organizers. Again I wish to thank you and especially those who prepared this good food. Thank you and everyone, especially your great organizers," concluded Brother Koliha.

Brother Ben Mikolaj continued: "Even a foot soldier has to have a "home front' to supply him: the members of the lodges are the 'home front' Who can help their organizers."

Brother Raymond Urbanovsky, Supreme Order Financial Secretary followed next, thanking everyone for the hospitality and invitation to brethren with the District Champions.

If there is anything that has been accomplished by creating our Districts," said Brother Urbanovsky, "it has been the organizational work. These contests that have been staged between the Districts, have produced good results.

For example: these contests between District III and District V, have during the contest year wrote more than half of all the insurance written. I em glad that this has been started and I know that Brother Mikolaj has made up his mind that he will not lose any of them again," said Brother Urbanovsky.

Supreme Lodge Attorney, Brother Aug. Kacir said: "I know that each and every one of us enjoyed this occasion to the letter. The losers are also taking the licking with as much pleasure as the winners are taking the success. Whether we have our great Feast in Praha next year, or in Kovar, just so everyone of you more than doubles or triples your membership and will be there, Whether, you invite us or not," kidded Brother Kacir in his dry humor.

Your Editor Hosek speaking in Czech said: "In behalf of myself and my wife thanks, we have had a good time here.

One of the thing I would like to call attention to is the fact that in illness or health, nothing can be done without work and advertising. On this advertising, you have your Vestnik: you pay for this, You pay your editor so that he would 'advertise your articles, your work in your lodges. When you accomplish something in your cOnmunity and don't let the paper know, you miss out helping your membership and miss helping make the Vestnik a paper that sisters and brothers will enjoy reading about communities doing well. If you

\TEST iq I, — WEST, TEXAS want attendance and participation, you must advertise in the paper. We should be appreciative of our Organizers. Remember that our officers in the Lodges should be our organizers greatest support for they know the lives in the community and can be of great value to the organizers. Many of you read home town papers where someone has an addition to the family, etc. If you will send your Organizer card to see the parents before our competitive agent gets there, your Organizer has a break. If our Order is to , grow in the future, we need this young membership. We lost a full generation of mei:fibers because of our complacency and now we shall have to make up for it. I again point out that the Vestnik is at your service and that we like to help where we can. We are going to have Mother's Day soon, let's try, to have some programs in our lodges for this occasion.

Your Vestnik is always at your service." concluded Editor Hosek.

Supreme Lodge Director from District IT, Brother Charles Navratil followed, saying, "I am very glad to be here today at this nice Feast where we can visit and meet each other. I only hope that we appreciate this sort of thing, and work for the good of our Order. We truly have a good Order of which we should be proud.

Many times I feel saddened when I see the enthusiasm while we are together, to see it die when we are away from each other. Look into your immediate families, and see if there isn't someone who doesn't belong to our organization; not because it is a Czech organization but because it is a good organization that has good policies; one we should be proud of, for it is 62 years in existence, there has not been a single litigation with our membership, so sign up that member in your fai'Dily! So brothers and sisters if you have the love for our organization, work in your families, your community and an every occasion tell our organizers of new prospects. It is sad that many of us do not have the time to sit down and listen to our Oranizers to learn of our policies, but when a competitive agent comes around we listen to him, only to be regretful later for having not .known about our own policies. So, if we work among our friends, and families, our organization will grow and bloom to a successful goal.

Supreme Lodge Director Stepan of District I followed, Brother Navratil: "It is indeed, nice to be here and it is something that District I is proud of and I think District II deserves thanks for

Stratus 17

giving us a nice feed like this. I see bra' ther Mikolaj is happy today, but Brothel Barina, is also happy and I am glad that I was able to be here." said. Brother Stepan.

Brother Frank Vytopil of Bryan, District I vice-president brought greetings from fellow District officers, organizers from that area who were unable to be here.

Brother Vytopil announced that his District I will have their District Meeting' May 17, at College Station and invited everyone to come.

Brother Syptak of Caldwell, Orgonizer for District I, flung District II a challenge for another contest saying" if they challenge us again this year, we will give them a good whipping again."

(Remember District II, it took District 1II four tries to win over District V, but what fun theyhad trying to do it, so don't give up the ship.

Sister Lydie, Maresh accompanied those who loved to sing, at the plane for a good old Czech songfest.

As the hour was late, the road long, the Editor and wife regretfully took their leave to return home that night.

Our sincerest thanks for your invitation, your wonderful hospitality and friendship, with our best wishes for your health and future success. .10 )

Jarosiav Kleprlik District Organizer ) • Ro • WARNING ISSUED AS SNAKE TIME DRAWS NEAR This is the tiine of the year when poisonous reptiles, such as the very unpopular but well known rattlesnake, are coming out. According to H. D. Dodgen executive secretary, Texas Game and Fish Commission, March is the month when the weather is just cool enough to keep the snakes in their dens and just warm enough to make it nice for an outing.

This situation will not last long. Once the warm weather arrives in force, the rattlers will leave the ge dens and begin to slip through the brushlands or just lie behind rocks and drowse in the sun.

Dodgen described the large catches made recently at Sweetwater as proof enough that there will be plenty of snakes in. Texas when hot weather comes.

Some four thousand rattlesnakes were captured during the two day snoke hunt held in that ranching area.

Be extra careful when on an outing, most killers usually hide in places where you'd least expect them to be. Don't reach behind a rock or a stump until you have checked for snakes. When lifting wood from a pile, jab it a few times to make sure there are no rattlers there Know all the precautions and remember them when you are in the country or even in your own back yard.

He stressed the LT‘portance of at least one in a group knowing the first-aid for snake bites. If you are going into the woods, know how to doctor a snake bite.

There are all kinds of pamphlets out on this subject. Knowing it may save a life.

Wishing you a lot of success, I remain Sincerely yours, Joe B. Hejny )•4 at From Robstown Lodge No. 117 Robstown, Texas Dear Readers.

Since my first letter as reporter brought Ile le so many nice compliments I gathered enough courage and am writing again. I especially thank you, Brother Editor, for the kind words of appreciation of my letter.

First of all I want to make a correction. 0 reported that Sister Helen Pavelka was appointed on the entertainment committee, but, that is incorrect. It is Sister Helen Ihncir, the lovely wife of our past secretary, Brother Oscar Hrncir, that was nominated. Please forgive me Helen, I am truly sorry for making the mistake.

The weath e r here has improved some.

It has not been raining. The farmers are slowly . but surely catching up on their ficid ork. Most of the grain here he's bsen phrtod and some are already planting wl ton, even tho the ground is cold, inaow planting temperature (soil) which is 62 degrees and it has been running in the high 50's. The seed is apt to rot in 1117 ground, causing a poor stand.

We had a nice get-together last Sunday, March 15, it was in the Moravian Hall. The occasion was the birthday of our president Brother Victor Janek, our pest bookkeeper, Brother Jaro Rektorik and his son Archie Rektorik all have birthdays, this week. About 60 friends and neighbors were there to help celebrate. I must also mention that our friend, Mrs. Walter Heidensohn from the

VESTNi K — WEST, TEXAS neighborinc city Corpus Christi was present. Since her birthday was on the 14th we inclocad her in on our c e lebration also.

The lad ,,s 1., eought refreshments and everyone, had an r. ting good tiase.

Congratulations and our best wishes to the birthday celebrants and may they have many, many more.

But, there is also always tragedy in the news -- about two weeks ago, March 2, Brother Henry Zeman, he was a member of the lodae in our neighbor City of Agua Dolce, was. killed in a two-car crash on Highway 44 near Ague, Hulce. We extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved family and may his soul rest in peace. He was 44 years old and is survived by his wife and daughter. A brother John Zeman of La Grange and one sister, Mrs.. Jerry Migl of Moulton. Burial was in the Robstown Menlnriaa Park.

We an looki! os forward to the organizers meeting that is to be held here, April 15, at 7:00 p. m. in the Moravian Hall. Brothers Kleprlik and Hejny will be here and some more, but I will write more on that later. Thought I would mention it so the member can be thinking about it and !make preparations to come. I ant sure it will be interesting.

So everyone come and bring a friend or neighbor.

We always have such a nice visit after the meeting. Usually one meets up with some one you have not seen for a long time.

In closing, I want to wish everyone a very happy Easter Holidays. Until next time, best of everything to all.

Sincerely, Mrs. Mary Janak Route 2, Box 180 Editor's Note: Well you have done it again. A very nice letter, informative and to the point. — Many thanks. k 4 Houston, Texas Dear Sir: Will you please put this in the Vestnik.

Jerry Ann Urban Secretary -- Repo-ter ) 49 • ( Dallas, Texas Dear Readers, The March meeting of SPJST Lodge No. 84, March 15, was in one respect the same as the meeting last year. By this I mean the meeting was mostly [devoted to the initiation of new members. Beside the initiation this meeting was especi%lly important to the teenagers because during this meeting the princess from Lodge No. 84 was chosen.

The way Lodge No. 84 chose their prin cess was for all the girls that were in the Teenage Meeting March 8 to write a theme on "Why I like The SPJST". The way the princess would be chosen was not announced until Brother Sid Pokladnik, who was present at our meeting, made it known that the girls would write a theme without any help from anyone. After each girl wrote her theme she turned it into Sister Bessie Petr who in turn sealed the letters until the Motber Lodge Meeting March 15.

The themes were judged by a com:Dittee chosen by the president, vice president and youth leader. The committee was Brother F. B. Steiner, Sister Justine Pokladnik and Brother Joe B. Hejny from the Supreme Lodge. This committee read all the themes and c'c:os: Betty Staglik's theme the best.

Let's all get kehind T2ei:ty and help her get Queen.

Dear Readers, First of all, I just want to say hello.

Then, I want to tell all of the readers about what is going on at the Del Mar Campus these days.

The Student Council has elected a new president .1-le is Jim Kendall. Jim is a sophomore and a pre-med student.

He is also Vice president of the Science club, photographer for the "Foghorn", and president of the Baptist Student Union.

The Phi Theta Kappa had a Flunkie Fling on February 6, 1959. All those who flunked and also those who passed were invited. The sponsor of the Phi Theta Kappa is Miss Frances Dushek. She also is my Algebra teacher for this semester.

The Les Ammies Club elected new officers on February 6, 1959. They were: Marilyn McGrew, president; Barbara Haas, vice president; Sharon Schaulis, Student Council representative; Miss Hardy, devotional leader, and Amanda Blalock, treasurer.

Our basketball team isn't doing so well this year. I guess that's because nobody comes to the games. One of our outstanding players is Roland Burris, from Reagan of Houston. He averages about 16 point a game. He really gives the Del Mar Club a spark. I just wish we could have more like him on the team.

A little later on, I will write about the Favorite Dance that will be held after the favorites are ohoosen.

I guess that will be all for now.

Austin — Rodent ravage and poor range vegetation are responsible for present quail decline in the Lower Plainsarea of Texas, according to W. 3.

Cutbirth Jr., executive secretary of the Game and Fish Commission. A report on juail conditions in the area has just been submitted by Biologist A. S. Jackson, who made a study in Foard, Hardeman, Wilbarger, Baylor, Archer, Wichita Stephens and Throckmorton counties.

Jackson suggests three important factors involved in the quail decline this spring: First, last year's spring rains resulted in a heavy carpet of grass over food plants. These grasses provided cover for rats, but no food for the birds.

Second, competition from rodents in the food supply.

Third, the extreme dryness in the winter, which killed out green foods for bird feeding.

• • Work is expected to start within the next few days on re-opening Cedar Bayou Pass on the Texas coast, between Matagorda and St. Joseph islands. The contract was awarded last week by the Game and Fish Commission to the King Fisher Construction Company of Port Lavaca for $198,300.

This will be the opening of the natural pass between the two islands, according to H. D. Dodgen, executive secretary of the commission. It will perrrdt the flow of water between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This will in effect reduce salinity of bay waters and is expected to have a beneficial effect on fishing in the area.

• • Austin — Fabulous catches of fish are being reported from all over Texas, according to the executive secretary of the Game and Fish Commission.

Party boats on the Texas coast arc coming in with heavy loads of red snap

Strana 28 per; crappie of the barn door variety are hitting in most of the fresh water lakes, and there is a run on white bass in practically every stream of the State.

"Despite unsettled weather fishermen have been taking their limits in many places," the secretary said. "Although the heaviest catches are being made from the snapper banks, trout, red fish and flounder have been abundant, too."

He warned :fishermen: "Be sure you have your license; don't get greedy and take more than your legal limit, and be careful with your boat during high winds over rough water."

Wednesday, March 25, 1959 NATURALIZATION AND CHANGE OF NAME Question: I plan to apply for citizenship in the near future. my husband, who is not yet eligible, tells me that I will be permitted to change our name when I am naturalized. Is this correct?

Answer: No. The law generally permits aliens to change their names when they are naturalized, but if a wife is naturalized before her husband, the naturalization court will not grant a change of name to the wife. If your husband changes his name after you are naturalized, the change will legally apply to you. If you then wish to have your new name appear on your naturalization certificate, you may make an application for a new certificate on Form N-565, accompanied by a $5 fee.
