Mezi malSr mi detmi stravila jsem mnoho east', stale se mi v duchu ozYvaji detske sladke hlasky "maminko, maminko". Matka se srdcem napinenym 'citem matetske lasky a nehy by se rozdala cela, svemu diteti dala by vgechno na svete i vlastni s ytij 2ivot.

Dite si je toho pine vedomo, citi dobte tu matetskou lasku, tteba2e nedovede dost dobte ocenit velikost mateinch obe'ti.

The improvement last year was largely half of the year, the first part of the year showing some continued effect of the 1957 epidemic of influenza, which caused material increases in deaths from both influenza and pneumonia and the diseases of the heart. Through history, periods in which a rise in death rates has stemmed from an influenza epidemic have been followed by a period of decline in death rates.

Another contributing factor in 1958, reported by life companies, was the slight additional weighting of younger age groups, due to the large volume of Family Plan policies going on the books in recent years. These brought into the ranks of policyholders a large number of children just acs we have in our SPJST, who would naturally show lower death rates in certain categories. )° DISTRICT NO. 5 SPRING MEETING May 24th, 1959, was set aside to hold our District No. 5 Spring Meeting at the ovely ranch of our Brother J.

Brother Holasek," continued Brother Marek, "I want you to know ,how highly we regard you and that we are glad you are among us."

"Regarding the securing of new membership, brother Hejny will give you that report. Regarding the work in the Supreme Lodge, we are going ahead as Brother Holasek told you. The dream that our founders ihad, has long been over-subscribed. They did nit even hope for something as large as we are. Maybe in the years to come, we are no longer here, our Order will grow into a giant for our Youth will take over and go forward. I am glad that we are able to behere," concluded Br. Marek.

Brother Holasek then requested Bro. Marek and Bro. Chupick to speak in the afternoon for the benefit of the Youth, many of whom were still on the road to La Parita for the Youth Program that afternoon.

Vice-President Kleperlik remarked that if the officers of the Supreme Lodge, all the way from Temple could be present 100 per cent for a whole day and tomorrow have to go back to work, it does seem that the local membership should be here today.

The election of District Officers followed by popular request, to clear the docket for the afternoon's program.

Brother Joe Juricek, was re-elected for another term as District President of District Seven. He, immediately expressed thanks to the district membership for their vote and 'promised to do everything in his power for the welfare of the District.

Brother J r. Klepierlik was !also. reelected for Vice-Presidency.

Sister Betty Jurica was elected District Secretary, a new post for her, since it was pointed out that the Secretary should be able to master the Czech as well as the English Language in the fast growing Order.

This was granted her.

On the B-Laws Committee, Bro. John Stasa and others were appointed. We failed to get their names.

The Auditing Committee consists of Brother Miculka, Novosad and Sister Broszeit. ETO. Hejny defered his report for the afternoon session.

Brother J. F. Chupick, Secretary of the Supreme Lodge then stated: "I am at a great disadvantage, I - came here to compliment you but since Brother March beat me to it, I will not overdo it," he said laughingly. "I feel at home among you for more than 30 years I came to this wonderful country around La Parita handling real estate. Many of your families were original settlers here who bought their land from me. You have some fine folks here, just about the best in Texas," he said. He then suggested that Atascosa County folks have a reunion of the families of the original settlers here more than 30 years ago. "It would be a good thing to have, a good time just once more while we are still living." Brother Chupick brought regrets at Sister Chupick's not being present, saying that the 'Wedding Disease' among the young ladies in Temple had caused Sister Chupick to have to attend one at that time. Brother Chupick ended his short speech with a sprinkling of wit, which left everyone in good hurcrior.

Brother Ray Urbanovsky folowing: "I am not going to make a long speech, for I ,am not a speaker. I thought I would give you a report on how we have progressed in the Supreme Lodge. He explained last year's growth and gave some statistics regarding mortality tables.

All those who have been members for The outgoing Secretary, Brother Jacob 50 years or over were then asked to Phortner, thanked everybody for their stand. Applause. cooperation, stating that these District Meetings have brought us together that Director Holasek then announced that we might learn to know each other bet- his Lodge Anton Cermak in Corpus Christi has four members left who have ter because of these Meetings.

Brother Frank END( was then elected been in the Order for over 50 years, that his lodge was giving them a reTreasurer of the District.

Outgoing brother Jaro. Rektorik, then ception and he invited us all to attend. thanked the membership for their conOur Supreme Lodge attorney, Brothfidence and cooperation with him dur- er August Kacir followed. "I know that we all are interested in that our Order ing his tenure of office.

Supreme Lodge President Marek, then is the youngest in the state, founded in installed the new officers for 1950-60 de- 1897. Besides that, we have accepted fining to each his duties and extracting certain kinds of policies and that other his solemn promise to fulfill those du- ,fraternals are following in our foot-

Straza 1.1 steps; which shows that we are going forward.

Brother Kacir then swung onto the subject of the Czech language and our. schools, stating that 25 years ago the Board of Education reasoned that it was not necessary to study foreign languages, with the exception of Spanish, which was not compulsory.

But now the University Dean states that all scientists will have to study Russian. Now we have an opportunity to learn words and talk; the rhetoric may never be given. This what all schools will recommend. We have several high schools that are interested in teaching the Czech language in Texas." said Brother Kacir. "I am glad that you are all so happy and I wish your meeting all the success." he concluded.

Director Chas. Navratil, from the Second District spoke: "I am glad to be here. I always like to come among you and know that you take an interest in the SPJST and I hope that your interest will increase; that there will not be anyone who does not belong to our SPJST for they have very reliable policies. The more we sell, the stronger we grow."

Because Brother Marchak of District Seven was unable to be here to give a report on the SPJST Rest Home in Taylor, Brother Navratil said a few words in behalf of the home. "We are progressing in the Rest Home but ii there was more understanding for the Rest Home, financially, we would be better off. There was a great enthusiasm for this Rest Home but this enthusiasm is beginning to lag. We need you to recommend to anyone who would be interested in living there. It is e very clean, hospitable, excellent service and personnel attention is given to each guest as evidenced by the fact that everybody there is happy and completely satisfied. In fact, in the last year's inspection by the State Health Department under whose jurisdiction the Rest Home falls, many pictures were taken of the premises, home decor, individual attention etc., as a "Model for all Texas Homes of the Future." We need several more guests to fill the Home which will help the Home in strengthening its finances. As you all know, we still owe money, for this Home, and for this reason brothers and sisters, it would be very good all over our state if we would take an interest in this Rest Home and if you know of any one who might be interested won't you recommend it. If you are able to contribute to the Rest Home and if you will talk about it to help fill it up, to pay off our obligations, rlt will be appreciated. Then we can

Strana 18 build on to it, for we have enough ground to do it. Thank you!" concluded Brother Navrital, Brother Skrabanek, Director of the Soprome Lodge from District Five, spoke "I will not take much of your time only to say that our District Five wishes you the best and as you attend these meetings, it is gratifying to see that our people are interested in these meetings.

If we continue in this way we can't help but go forward.

Brother Charles Cerny of the Beaumont Lodge, your old organizer, sends his greetings.

At this opportunity I want to say that our District Five will have a meeting on the 24 of May, and we would be glad if you could visit us."

Editor Hosek followed Brother Skrabanek: "I am going to talk in Czech, and talk about our Organ (Vestnik).

You have heard (from the above speakers) that we are going forward and I can add my assurance to that fact. I have attended all of the Meetings of our Supreme Lodge and you know me, I cannot be swayed by anyone, and I can say with a clear conscience that you have good Directors and Officers and I would only like to say this: That our Directors should be better recognized. They are your liaison between the membership and Supreme Lodge officers. Our Directors should represent our Districts in Such a way so that every member could go to his Director and his Director could then back him up in his rights.

"Once more I reiterate, you elected me and you know that I promised you at our convention that the Vestnik will be printed in such a way that everyon, even non-members, can read it. If you start fussing and splitting hairs then we cannot Show our Vestnik to our non-member readers. Let's not let anyone hurt or belittle anyone else, let's act as real brothers and sisters in a Christian and brotherly way, and let your Vestnik mirror this side of our countenance. If you have a gripe, go where it should be remedied and do not ask to have it printed in our paper for the whole world to see, Jike a dirty wash."

The Editor complimented the sisterhood on their increased attendance at our meetings. He urged the sisters to prod the brotherhood in each lodge to hold better meetings; that our Order. will thus gain. The main thing is that we can have a good fraternity prepared for our Youth, was his concluding remarks.

Lodge Anton Cermak of Corpus Christi invited District Seven to their Lodgefor the next District Meeting in

VESTNiK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; WEST, TEXANS the fall, date to be announced later.

This was accepted with thanks.

Sister Kleperlik then announced that District VII Youth have a Dart Game set up, that all the proceeds will go to the District Youth Activities, stating that the La Parita Youth will get percentage of these proceeds for the organizing of their Youth Club.

The morning passed so swiftly and the meeting was suddenly recessed for the noon meal which the good sistrs of La Parita had waiting for the full hall.

The delicious beef barbecue and sausage and its various accompaniments were consumed with guest% and once more the little white school house that is now La Parita saw lots of good fellowship among the membership from near and far. The sisterhood fed the mob, and the mob did them proud by eating them out of business. Everyone had plenty and the refreshment stand was opened outside for the membership to finish off a perfect meal.

Brother Joe B. Hejny called the afternoon session to order at 2:00 p.m. to begin the Youth program.

Pretty Marilyn Stroebel of the San Antonio Lodge opened with the Pledge to the Flag, followed with the singing of America.

While the children were preparing for their individual numbers, Vice-President Joe E. Hejny gave us his report, on how this District Seven is doing a wonderful job, getting very active; have active lodge meetings; active Youth Clubs were organized; pointing out that there were many, many Teen-agers present at this meeting today who will present to us their program. "While I am here, I do want to thank the children, the Youth Directors, the Organizers and to you, brothers and sisters, for making this a successful meeting. Without your help we could not do what we are doing here today. We want to thank you in behalf of this District and the Lodge, and I shall now turn to the Organizational work of our order. We have some very able workers right here in your District. One of your Teen-agers who is Marilyn Stroebel, who secured 23 new members in 1958. She recommended the prospects to her fellow organizers of the local San Antonio Lodge and we wrote them up and I would like to give her a hand." said Brother Hejny, to the ap plause of the listeners. "There are more Teen-agers who are active, too many to mention separately, they are doing a wonderful job. Their friends eventually get interested and join and take active part in the lodge.

"To make a story shorte-I -would like

Wednesday, May 6, 1959 to recognize the Organizers of this District; first of all I want to give recognition to your District Organizer, whom you All know, Brother Kleperlik from San Antonio. He is a live-wire. Besides the work he does in other lodges, he alone sold over $60,000. of life insurance.

He has a tremendous lot of territory in his District, but he is the type of man who does not bemoan this fact but brags about it.

"The second high man in your District is Brother ,Frank Sacky of Corpus Christi. Brother Hejny presented' BroSacky with a beautiful plaque of Achievement. Brother Sasky is now a member of the "$50,000 Club," said Brother Hejny. Brother Hejny then announced another organizer, Sister Janca, has become, a member of the "$25,000 Club" and last but not least, that Brother Kleperlik, too, is a member of the "$50,000 Club."

"I want to thank you again, each one of you, and assure you brothers and sisters, that at any time that you have any questions or proble'ns that you would like to discuss please let us know; either your Director or the Supreme Lodge Officers, we will work with you, tell you what you can do or by our laws cannot do. We are in this weir ,: with you; that is what we are for. Thanks again and let's all now watch the program which I know will be a wonderful one.'

Brother Hejny then talked about the "Queen Contest" which is being sponsored by the ,Districts and their respective lodges all over the state. He explained that each lodge pick their Lodge Princesses from their group candidates, to represent their lodge at the District Contest for the Crown of the District Queen. This â&#x20AC;˘ is all done on the merit system, and he explains that each princess gets so many points or every new member she brings to the organizer of her lodge. Old members tt ng on more insurance also brings p, infs. The winner from the lodge, will then go to the District Contest, the top girl in the District will be crowned Queen, with her court of Princesses and their escorts at a Coronation Ball. They all have to be members of the SPJST to be participants etc.

Upon invitation to express their thinking on the subject, Brother Koliha a member of from this District said: "I think it is time we got into the stream as the other Districts did. We have just as pretty girls here as any in the state, just as :active, and being a member of Lodge No. 26, I take this opportunity to make a motion that each lodge (those that desire it) in this district, sponsor a

Wednesday, May 6, 1959 princess." It was seconded.

Brother Hejny explained how the Teen-Agers work, in harmony, for the honor of their lodge; that they give full support to their winning Princess with their vote strength to battle for the Distinct Crown.

District Youth Director, Sister Betty Jurica takes over the microphone to announce the first number of the Youth Program..

Sister Jurica, having the names in their true spelling of the participants, promised to make her report direct to you on this wonderful program.

Suffice to say, that some of the numbers were of a professional status. The youngsters were really clever. The Pantomime; Old Fashioned Girl; the selections on the Steel electric guitar with accordion; this ole man, by a big browneyed youngster, She'll be Corning 'round the Mountain, Miss Stroebel's accomplished accordion selections and serenades, Ballet, Czech songs, and the Square Dance -- Red River Rose — were the exceptional. There were two sets of twins participating: the Wentrcek Twins and the Hammon Twins, grandchildren of District President Juricek. They gave a very touching Mother's Day Remem,berance for the coming day in May. The number "He's Got the Whole Wide World in His Hands" was timely for our youngsters have got the whole SPJST in their hands. The program — somewhat. lengthy — was enjoyed by all.

There is a future coming when we must look to our young friends and bring them something that they will cherish as we older mdmibers have cherished the work of our forefathers who worked so hard for us I think that there will be quite a discussion about the "Youth Camp" at the next Convention,', program.

The sun had sneaked to the west, the time for parting was at hand for those driving those hundreds of miles, with a quick goodbye and God Bless You many of us headed home.

This was a truly wonderful meeting, in genuine friendship, catching up on the news of each other whom we've not seen for a long time, clasping hands with many b:eloved old members hardworking, God fearing, honest folks, who carried on this fraternal work before we took over its guardianship for a spell, to in turn hand it over to those today's youngsters to carry on. On through the cycles of life on forever.

Your Editor and wife thank District Seven for their kind invitation to be with you on this day, for the many fine

SPJST SOTBALL April 29, 1959 Dear Brothers and Sisters: Last Friday night April 24, we played our first game in the Friday night Ranger League , . We played the strong Browne-Window team and dropped a 5 to 0 decision. They are a City Major League team, one of the best in Dallas, so our loss should not be anything to be ashamed of, except that we could have played a little better and the score should have been only 1 to 0 as 4 of their runs were unearned.

Grady Garrett hurled a very good game, despite the final score, allowing 6 hits, 4 walks and struck out 7 batters.

Only one run was earned, the Other four were results of 3 errors and some mental lapses, however, our team never did give up and I feel we will improve throughout the season. Wilbur Munger turned in a good job behind the plate in handling Garret's delivery.

Leading our hits with single safeties were Don Faires, James Swindele and Wilmur Munger. Don Faires also got on base with a base on balls.

Ralph Ramos, our old rival the last

Strana 21

few years, hurled a very good game of Browne-Window. Overall they have a very good team.

The name of our Friday night League is the Ranger League and we play at Lakeview Diamond No. 1 eivery Friday night. The league is comprised of Texas Lutheran All-Stars, Browne Windbw, Texas Instruments, and SPJST Fraternal Insurance. Our next game is Friday night May 1, at 8:45 p.m. and our opjonents will be Texas Lutheran All-Stars and on Friday night May 8, we will play the first game starting at 7:30 p.m. our opponent will be Texas Instruments.

We had a nice turnout at the game and we wish to thank all of those who came out to watch us play. We hope to see a lot more of you at our future Wednesday and Friday games.

Last night, Wednesday, April 29, our softball team played the Jones-Blair Paint team and we eked out a 9 to 8 victory. It was a sea-saw game, we were ahead, they were ahead, and then we managed to tie' up the score at 8-8 in our top half of the sixth. In the top half of the seventh, we scored the deciding run and we held them scoreless in their last half of the seventh. It was a loosely played game as a total of 10 errors were committed. It was just one of those nights that nearly every player got into the act, and everything seemed to go wrong. Des p ite the comedy of errors, rather than a baseball guile, we wanted to win a little more than our opposition and we were glad of the final result.

Frank Mach II, started on the mound and was relieved by Grady Garrett in the botton of the fourth inning with the score tied up at 5-5. They scored 3 runs, all unearned in the fourth inning then Garrett shut them out the rest of the way, allowing only two hits, one walk and struck out 7 batters. The winning pitcher was Grady Garrett. Allen Dunn was our catcher for the game.

Titche-Goettinger defeated Republic Ins. 17-9 in the other game.

Ted Dusek Jr. had a home run and a single, Frank Mach II had 3 hits leading the hitters: Don Hanks had 2 hits, Jody Rejcek, one hit, a triple and Don Faires a single. Jody Rejcek gained first as a resudt of being hit with, a pitched ball.

Though we didn't play too well afield, all the fellows on the team admitted that we are capable and will play much better ball after this. Guess we had to get this out of our system, sure hope we aid.

We had a large turnout of fans at the ganie as the weather was perfect. We sure were glad to see so many of our

Strana 22 members and friends at the game. Just hope you all will come back and keepup our cheering for the team.

Next Wednesday, May 6, we play Republic Insurance the second game at Saaauels Diamond No. 1 starting at 8:45 p.m. On Friday night May 8, we will play Texas Instrument at Lawnview No. 1, at 7:30 p.m. Then on Wednesday, May 13, we will play Titch-Goettinger at 7:30 p.m. at Samuel No. 1.

Hoping to see you at the games.

Fraternally yours, Ben Jarma, Team Mgr. Lodge. Pokrok No. 84 Editor's Note: Brother Ben, Thanks for this fine report. )•

This is the first time . that I ever sat through a whole District Meeting. I enjoyed it very much. I think more youth should go to and sit through one of these meetings.

Brother Joe Koliha of Lodge 26 nominnated our Sister Betty Jurica to be the next secretary of District VII. The motion carried. I am very proud that my mother was elected secretary.

I am looking forward to the next District VII meeting which will be held in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Since that. time it has stood as the symbol and meetig place of SPJST in Granger! Truly, our two story - brick building on a corner of Main Statet in Granger is steeped with tradition and memories of some five decades.

Action was taken in our meeting that certainly and surely proper 50th Anniversary ceremonies would be held. It was decided that August 9th, being our regular meeting date and quite close to. the actual August 12th of 1909, might be the proper "day of celebration." However that date was left flexible pending some unforseen circumstances and/or events.

Although no definite action in the way of naming committees was taken, preliminary plans were layed. Everyone left the meeting with the feeling that much thought and planning will be required in order to make this an Event in the life of SPJST in Granger and in volumes of our Vestnik in regard to this 50th Anniversary. We invite all the Lodges of Texas to help lay plans for this occasion. If you have an idea or precedent that you would like to impart, please let us have the benefit of your thoughts and/or your experience.

OTTO L. HOSEK DALLAS, TEXAS Austin — Game wardens booked 162 persons during the month of March for fishing without a license. It was the first time in several months that any othe violation exceeded trespassing.

There were 22 arrested for fence climbing, however. " The wardens also arrested 10 persons for illegal use of electric devices — telephoning — to catch fish.

The monthly report of the director of law enforcement shows violators paid fines of $9,886.33 and costs of $617, making a total of $10,503.00 for the month.

Such charges as shooting doves, quail, duck, deer and turkey out of season also were shown on the report. There were 36 arrests for hunting at night in known deer range.

"At the beginning of the fishing season we always find many persons who try to get by without a fishing license," the director said. "We can expect that where some 8 million persons are involved. The shooting of game birds and animals, however after the season has closed is deliberate. Some of the courts are giving maximum fines on this type of violation."

Austin — General rains throughout Texas during the past two weeks have brought on many favorable conditions for the benefit of wildlife, according to the assistant secretary of the Game and Fish Commission.

"These early rains will provide fine grass and cover for both birds and animals," he said. "This will be particularly good for the quail production, providing we don't get floods during the nesting season."

Wednesday, May 6, 1959 "Now is the time for landowners t¢ place their orders „for these birds," he said. "If they will contact their game wardens, the wardens can inspect their property and they can order the birds for future shipment."

The quail are sold to land owners at 50 cents each for restocking purposes.

This is approximately half the cost of production.

They are not released in unsuitable areas, however, there must be sufficient cover and food possibilities to care for the birds.

In some places sportsmen's clubs have bought the quail for release on land where hunting privileges will be available in season.

Austin — The question of the closing of Galveston and Trinity Bay to all netters came up again recently at the quarterly meeting of the Game and Fish Commission, it was announced by the executive secretary.

An order was issued last fall to close all of the bay waters to commercial netters. Commercial fishermen obtained an injunction to prevent its enforcement on technical grounds.

The water had been closed after sports fishermen protested the use of seines and nets. The Commission has the authority to regulate these waters.

No information was available . at this time as to the outcome of the meeting, however a number of commercial and sports fishermen were on hand in Austin to testify. ) • 4 One of the arguments against auto seat belts is that it is hard for a person to get out of a wrecked,car if he's wearing a seat belt. The argument says this could be fatal if the car caught fire of was submerged in water. The National Safety Council says an approved belt can be unfastened in a split second — and adds that only one-half of one per cent of accidents on record involved cars which caught fire or were submerged.
