Netekla prave pkiein3r, ale zdalo se DI, tchyne s Janem potaji vyjednava.

Jan nyni tekl svou tajenou my glenku.

"Maminka veera dvakrat se ptala, jestli pojedeg. Kdo2 vi, nechce-li do Brna.

Tak nadhodila, 2e by jegte rada vgecky videla," tekl Jan s obavou, aby se Anna nedomnivala, 2e se za jejimi zady dorozinniva s matkou.

"At' jenom jede, mtie Wit kmotrou s tebou," odtekla Anna zdanlive lhostejne, ale v nitru svem vycitila, 2e tchyni na torn zale2i, aby sama jela s Janem.

"Jak chce g. A marn ji to povedet?"

"Povez ji, vim, 2e ji udelag radost," odrekla Anna a v duchu bylo ji lito, se Jan tajne dorozumivd s matkou a do oei niOeho netekne, ale nezminila se o tom pted Janem a veznila v sobe tu sviravou hotkost.

Pled veeer za gel Jan do mateina pokoje, v nem2 byl tY2 stars' nabytek, jejt vidal v rodinnetm pokoji za sveho detstvi a kde bylo v gecko tak eisto a ku pfekvapeni.

"Mami, Anna pravila, le nepojede," oznamoval Jan matce a pocitil najednou, 2e je mu neveolne v mateine pokoji.

Byl to nejtemnej gi pokoj z celeho staveni, nebylo tady sluneene zate, stale jen stin. Nasledkem toho cele vzezteni mateino bylo takove sestudenele.

Matka sedela v prastarYch nemeckSrch kni2kach s palcov'm tiskem s brejlemi na oeich. Od102i1a, je a pohledla 21veji na Jana.

"No tak, kdy 2 nechce, pojedem' spolu.

Hansi," odtekla s takovYm vzktigenYrn pohledem, jakoby spadla s ni choroba a vgecka oktala zvedla se se 2idle.

"Pravila jsem si, 2e nepojede. To je u ni chvalit, 2e do sveta neni," pravila spo koj ene.

"A zitra rano abychom vyjeli," povidal Jan a pokroeil ke dvetim.

Matka ho nezdr2ovala, ale za chvili u2 byla v jeho pokoji a s vymenenou tvati sttetla se s Annou.

"Tak nepojedete, Anna?" povedela ji lichotnm hiasem.

"U2 jsern se rozmyslila, 2e zustarm doma," odtekla Anna.

"A já se vypravim na misto vas. A kde je Hansi? Hansi, Hansi!" volala 3ana.

Jan ve gel ze sine.

"Poslouchej, Hansi, koupi gtam Ann6 krabici k iti," tekla k Janovi.

Myslila, jak se za.vdeel Anne, ale za-

Strana 10 mYeleneho iteinku nedosahla,.

Anna se zahryzla do rtti a teskne oddychla. Zdalo se ji, ze Wayne zase narak. A ona zatim chtela se odvdeeit za jeji povolnost. NeZ tento timysi u Anny nadobro selhal a zmenil se v opak.

Jan opet odeeel.

Tchyne se usadila a teplYmi vetami zaeala vypravovati o svem Hansovi. Mlu vita o jeho detstvi, o jeho vlohach. Chva lila, vyndeelo ho. Dnes mohl bYti velikYm panern. jeho ueitele radili, aby ho dala do ekol. A ona nechtela slySet. Vystuduje, pravila sobe, bude zit ye svete a prijde domil jen jako host. A ona chtela, zit s nim a laid nem, chtela videt a sdilet jeho etesti. Prot° , ho nechala doma. Bee jeji zdala se Anne opravdu rorteplena, Wdyt' miuvila o svem Hansovi. Jindy se nikdy nerozehilla. — On ji byl etegthn, fitechou, sluncem, potrebnYm jejirnu Zivotu.

Anna aZ skoro Zarlive naslouchala jeji reel. Pri tom ji prielo na mysi, Ze o ni se nikdy nezminovala, nikdy s ni teple nepromluvila. Veim ji byl jedinSr• Hansi. A ona, Anna? Jakoby byla v dome torn ne Zenou, spie jenom Proto ji tchyne vkly pomijela, jen kdyZ ji upozornovala na chyby. Ne, pro ni nebylo lasky. Vedela to a citila dal/no. Nyni u‘Z ji to nezabolelo, ale bylo ji teskno a smutno za tchyniny keel.

Potom, kdyZ tchyne odeela a Jan se zas vratil, rekla mu o -dem, co pravila tchyne, nezakrivajic stesku, jaldr v ni ztistal.

"Hied', jak je ke mne nespravedliva.

Delam a staram se co mohu — a nikdy jeete nine neuznala!" zasteskla si me pied Janem.

"Neck ji. Vim, ze churavi, proto je nevlidna, nekdy," omlouvaI Jan riatku, aekoli veal, ze nema, pro Annu k,ky.

Druheho dne vsedala tchyne do lehke, nekryte kolesky s Hansem. Oei ji zanily.

Vklyt' jela se synena, se sqm Hansem do brna! Sedela hrda a et'astna. Anna ji podala do vozu eatek, tchyne ji podekovala, a Ondrej evihl do koni a rychle Wade]. s koleskou k nadrak.

Tchyne se rozpovidala.

"1J jsem videla, Mili. Bah vi, jestli ji uvidim. Veecko se pode mnou trese.

Nebudu dlouho," pravila nejistYm, zviklanYin.hlasem.

"Tak zle to nebude mami," odrekla An na, ale kdy2 pohledla na tchyni, videla, jak se ztratila za tri dni, "Dlouho to nebude trvat", pravila Wayne, zvecila se znavene se aidle a pomalu vlekla e do sveho pokoje.

Odenikla pokoj a poznovu usedla. 8ere mySlenky obestrely ji naysl a zasmutnily ji. Jan s Annou za.tim "Mami se opravdu trati," povida Anna, "Slabne a sotva popada dechu," kekl Jan. "Myslim, abychom volali lekare."

"Zavolej, mine se predejit nernoci,"pri svedella mu Anna.

Nazitii pfgel starST, nizonekt vy nernoc a na dvore promluvil s Janem, "Neni to clobre," povida lekar. "Je tu jakasi jaterni kombinace. Radii bych do lanai do KarlovY.ch Varti. Jinak tu ne vial rady. TeZ jsern to stare pani poveal."

"Bude se Zdrahat", namiti Jan. "Lekla se, kdyZ jsem ji pripomnel zne. Ale dokonce jine porady nevi. Nejak ji prernlu yte, neZ-li nastane krise." povidal lekar, podal Janovi ruku a drobm`rrni, speenSrmi kroky ubihal ze mbr na.

"S matkou to nestoji dobre," pravil Jan Anne, kdyZ se byl vratil do pokoje. "Jenom pry lazne mohou ji pomoci. Lekar navrhl Ka,rlovy Vary. Ale coZ, ona se zteZkern odhodla."

"Tebe snad poslechne," odrekla Anna.

Neuposlechla. Sbirala posledni silu, aby se yzeprela, aekoli chvilerni stekivala si na tu, to zase na onu teZkost.

Jan byl to doby rortrkt. Prave spravoval splay, dohliZel na, delniky a zridka byl Coma. Tchyne se po nem se steskem tazala Anny, aekoli yedela, Ze meeka u splavu. Jednou, kdy2 Anna eila pro deti, stYskala sobe na svou opuetenost.

"Co je ua po mne. Doti jsou z domu, a Hanel ma sve starosti. Jsem tu uZ skoro jak cizi," pravila Anne.

Anna se zastavila ye vratech a hledela za nimi stala tu jako zaprena, odcizena, a sizy ji zvolna stoupaly v odi.. .

Jan s matkou prijeli donya etvrteho dne. Tchyne privezla Mem hradky a "Vklyt' se Vain neodcizujem', dveri Jan zase Anne plyeovou skrinku s potfebami a stribrnYm naprstkem. pied Vami nezavirame. Jsme radi, kdyZ prijdete, mami," pravila Anna.

Tchyne byla jizdou znavena a sedla "Ach, je to darmo. Stareho eloyeka zteZka na. nejlepei zahrabat," odrekla draZdive tchy Anna pohledla na plyeovou schranku ne.

"Neni tu pomoci, musim dohlilet na odtekl Jan. "Pravda, pravda," odiekla matka.

Zrak jeji smekl se na sktinku z Brna a zase na Annu. Zrak jeji ztemnel a °pet se rozhotel.

"A prod Anna, nevyaivate se stiibrnSrm naprstkem?" otazala se Anny, sahla po skiince a podavala ji Anne.

Anna se zachvela.

Tchyne oteviela sktinku, pohledla do vnitt a ztrnula na Anne. °be si porozumely.

"Bode mtij!" vzkiikla Anna, a peace ji vypadla z rukou.

Naprstku ()pet nebylo.

"To je ud hrtiza! Ci snad je na hney Bodi," zvolala v blouznivem rozeileni, a div, 'de neklesia.

Jan lekl se zprvu vYkkiku Annina. Nechapal jeSte, ale pak yrnyslil , se a pochopil v'Secko. Byl jako omrdeen . Ud zase naprstek! mihlo se mu jako blesk you. Nevysvetlitelna zahada stala tu pied nim. Tak jako Anna byl ji ad do due poraden. Myalenky jeho spletly se v uzel. Na dui jeho padlo leknuti. Tia,s1 se, jakoby se pied nim rozvirala demo.

Vzal rychle klobouk z domu, aby zaponmel na piihodu, htera se vyrnykala jeho , postieliu.

"Anna -- matka," a zase "matka — Anna" — dye tyto pPodAavy kolisaly mu na mysli.

Ne ztrata naprstku, ale zpusob, jakS7m se ztratil, hlodal na j ell° dub'.

Druladho dne ve gel Jon k matce. Bylo ji hure.,sedela na, didli, noehYlend, svazana bolestmi.

"Co je yam, 'nand?" otazal se ji.

"Priely ty tedkosti. 8patne jsem spala" povida, matka.

"Jed'te do KarlovYch 'Vain! Lekar mi pravil, Ze vas tam vyledi," namitl Jan. "Ja bych tam nerada. Hansi. Bojim se dehosi," pravila matka.

"Vddyt' ja yam radim. Chci yam jen k dobremu, nechte Si Mei." piernlotival Jan. Matka pohledla na Jana a zatiin hledela do dalky v . jake.si riezname .kraje.

"Vim, 2e nie nezbYva pojedu!" rozhodla koneene a Medea na Jana, jakoby chtela z natio vyeisti jakousi zava2nou pravdu.

Nedoeetla se. Jan v dual pocitil, 2e jakasi starost odlehla s neho, jakoby tuail, 2e bude u2 pokoj. Proto se matka zmatla v Janove tvaki a nevyeetla z ni nieeho.

"Poslouchej, Hansi, nehorai se na mne" kekla mu s tichYm, tajemnYm steskem.

"Pro p bych se horail, jsem rad, Ze jste si dala kici," povedel Jan. Zastkel svilj vnittni pocit a pohledl klidne na matku, aby nieeho ze sebe nevyzradil, "Odejdu od tebe daleko, Hansi," kekla a z oei ji vyvkely sizy.

"No vaak se vratite a bude zas dolike", tegil ji Jan. "Opravdu bych tam nechtela umkit — mezi cizimi," odkekla matka, a suche rty jeji zachvely se steskem a bolesti.

Za tSiden zamykala svuj pokoj, ustrojena u2 na cestu a strachy se tkesouci pied tou dalekou, neznamou cizinou.

Jan s Annou stali venu. Zaslechli, jak bare za sebou zamyka. Kroky jeji vlekly se pozvolna chodbou.

Vygla na nadvoki. V rannim dervuoyam slunci za,21utely se jeji uvadle skrane, zattpytily se jeji neprosvitne sizy.

"Bud'te s bohem, kekla, objala se s Annou a pak te2 s Janem, aekoli Jan ji k nadra21 doprovazel.

Vsedla na kolesku podle Jana a sehnuta, zlomena jeate se ohledla nazpet a ni2e ne2 dkive schSdila hlavu.

Anna hledela za ni. Zdalo se ji, 2e je ji Indio v to kolesce. JakYsi temnY pocit vigil ji duai. Nevadala, pro p by ji litovala, a piece bylo ji smutno.

Ale, kdy2 koleska projela uliekou a seala ji s oei, uzdalo se ji, 2e jakasi nesmirna ti2e spadla ji s dune.

• • Za tSrden dostal Jan list od matky.

"Hansi, milt' Hansi, nevi§ jak jsem tu neat'astna. Ach dome, domti! Radai bych doma u tebe umfela, ne21i tu 2ila. ftekla jsem lekaktim, 2e tady nevydr2im.

Janovy sizy dopadly na tento dopis.

Anna hledela na Jana. I ona byla dojata listem. Nevedela, kolik je citu pod tou na pohled chladnou a studenou tvaki. Slova ta byla tak horka a vi-ela, jakoby je snad napsala tou2ici divka sve mu milenci, a ne uZ chorobna stakena svemu dospelemu synu, "Ja ji nepochopuju," pravila Anna a sedla na Jan sedl vedle Anny a zabokil zraky do neureita. V duel jeho , vinil a zdouval se pkival.

'1 "Nechtel jsi, abych ti byla, obtanou v nemoci —", znelo mu dual jako tekava vYeitka. "Jd ji. u2 rozumim, vaemu u2 rozumim. Je pravda, radii jseme ji, aby jela do lazni. Myslil jsem, 2e bude pokoj. Pkal jsem si skoro, aby odjela k vuli tobe a sobe. A nyni citim, 2e jsem jednal apatne. Ona to tuai, ona to vi, 2e jsem mel jakYsi rimysl, vyeita mi to," pravil Jan duaenYm hlasem, jen2 te2ce vychazel z jeho due ta kjaka zpozdene pkiznani.

"Wig se. Ty jsi ji nekiivdil nikdy, stal jsi v2dy pki jeji strane. Nikdy jsi se mne nezastal liked ni, jakoby ses bar dat liked nost mne pied matkou," pravila Anna.

"Mo2na, 2e to bylo ta,kove. Ale mne bylo te2ko iici ji kkive slovo, i kdyby v chybe byla. Nemohl jsem se vymknout.

Proto jsem bfval tak jako titina mezi dvema vetry a klatil se hned na tvou, hned na jeji stranu," povidal Jan a na slouchal v dui slabemu, tou2noc..mu hlasu tam z dali.

"Netrap se proto. ,Ta ti nieeha nevyeitam, a ani matka ti nemiae nieeho vyeitat," kekla mu Anna, a jeji mekkY a tichSi pohled sluneenim paprskem zas-, vita do duge Janovy.

Teho2 dne psal Jan list matce. Napsal a eel jej zrovna znovu. Apiece v nem nenagel toho, co bylo v listu• mataine Nevzepjal dui svou k tokovSim silnfm a krevnatS7m slovrim jak matka ye svem lista, jak by v nem daleko nebylo toho, co bylo v matte.

Ve stfedu, tine 8. derVenee 1959

Sports Column OTTO L. HOSES DALLAS, TEXAS Dear Sportsmen and Readers: Well the vacation is over once more for my wife and I this year and now back in the "harness" again. We leasurily toured the eastern half of the "Sooner" state of Oklahoma and as you would know this included Indian Reservations water falls, "Devils Den" Lake Murray, Lake Ft. Gibson and others. There is always a desire to learn more about history of old territorial forts and army outposts. United States engineered bydo-electric power plants and transmission centers and lines at dam sites are always interesting as one remembers the days when rural areas, farms and ranches used kerosene lamps for lighting, later carbide generators, and finally home light plants with rech'argable glass wet batteries that required constant upkeep and attention.

Oklahoma is a young state rich in history, legend, Indians, the Land Rush, oil, agriculture and other recources. The countryside looked good as the state received an abundance of rain for their grain fields, ranches and pastures and as you know there are vast grain fields in Yukon, Prague and surrounding country. This Oklahoma region gives good breeding ground for game birds such as doves and quail. We saw great numbers of doves in all localities'not to mention coveys of quail eating grit on the shoulders of country roads. This dove population I mentioned is good to see as you can be assured when their grain harvest is completed these birds will fly to Texas for Qua* harvest of maize, wheat, hygeria and other small grain and sunflowers. All indications point to a good season, so sharpen your shooting eyes fellows as the shooting will be good.

Oiland oil industry has always been good in the "Sooner State" and we also managed the Oil Convention in Tulsa, with new machinery displays, turbo-drilling and countless other gadgets used in drilling, surveys and production.

On these trips we usually leave the main traveled highways ad take side trips to reservations, buffalo preserves, forts, refuges and other places of interest and I would recommend while in the vicinity of Chickasha go to Anadarko to see Indian villages, Plains Indian Museum and buffalo in nature.

pers on a town in Texas called Peyote.

This was the original spelling. In 1907 it was changed to Pyote when a post office was established. And there in history were "social" meetings of the Kiowa and Comanche Indians. They used a shrtub by boiling into a tea and drinking it as it gave them great endurance when they went on the war path or a tiring long hunting trip.

After the Commanches were moved to the reservation in Oklalioaaa, they sent a delegation to the Rio Grande to gather a supply of the shrub for use in their sun and rain dances. It was then reported that during one of their celebrations a jack rabbit that had been chased all over the western part of Oklahoma by coyotes and wolves, slipped up to one of their pots and drank several swigs of the Peyote U :i. Immediately he decided to get venaeance on his tormentors. In a short tinie he cleaned up on three wildcats, two coyotes and one lobo wolf. When last seen he was chasing a mountain lion down Beaver Creek at a mile a minute. This brew was really potent. So goes the tale but leave it to the old-timers, they always manage to have a good story for a listner!

What are the Panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma?

The two Panhandle states ar named for their shapes. Look at an atlas and you may be able to figure out the reason for yourself. First find Oklahoma, in which the panhandle shape is most noticeable. The rest of the state is like a saucepan. From the northwest corner there extends a narrow strip of land which looks for all the world like the handle of a saucepan — a panhandle.

You would need a lot of imagination to see a saucepan in the shape of Texas.

Nevertheless, the bulk of Texas does have a distinct handle. The western side of the Texas panhandle borders the state of New Mexico and the northern side borders the pan handle of Oklahoma.

Ranchers and Rattlesnakes A New Yorker was visiting a Texas ranch and the subject of rattle snake: came up. "I'm all prepared," said the New Yorker, "I have my snake bite medicine right here in this bottle."

The Texan informed the New Yorker that if he should be bitten he should apply a tourniquet on the arm or leg lance the bite, suck on the wound, ant. be rushed to the nearest doctor for anti venom shots.

"Suppose I get bitten on the rear An old timer told me a story and end?" asked the New Yorker.

"Brother," said Tex, "that's when knowing that it is too good to keep I will pass it on to you — So here goes: you'll find out who your friends are."

Life Insurance Holdings In 1958 a Thrift Record An estimated 124 million individual policyholders of life insurance combined to amass the greatest bulwark of family financial protection on record in this country, some $550,000,000,000 of life insurance protection in force at the start of this year. About 90 per cent of this amount, an aggregate of $494,000,000,000 was written by the legal reserve life insurance companies on their 112,000,000 U.S. policyholders. The remainder includes life insurance in force with fraternal and assessment organizations, Savings banks and U.S. servicemen's life insurance.

This highlighted the statistical record of life insurance in the United States, reported in the 1958 Life Insurance Fact Book published this week by the Institute of Life Insurance.

The role of the American family in life insurance ownership was emphasized in the 1959 Fact Book. Insured American families boosted their average ownership of life insurance to about $11,000 per family last year, an all-time high. The substantial increase in average ownership was the result of 1953 record purchases of $66,800,000,00', slightly more than the year before. Nearly threefourths of this amount represent ordinary life insurance protection, purchased individually by families. The Fact Book noted that new policy features and recent marketing developments such as the family plan policy and discounts on large policy purchases have contributed to the recent record purchases.

The 1959 Fact Book reports a year's decrease of $2,1 billion in the amount of new group life insurance written in 1958 and indicates that this is due to two factors: a reflection of economic conditions and a narrowing of the market for group life insurance since a nJajority of the larger business and industrial concerns had contracted for such programs in previous years. However, the

Miss 1-lubik of Lodge No. 6, Cottonwood Wins Dist. HI Crown Sunday, June 28, the Youth of District III of our ,SPJST Order held its Youth Activity Day, with Lodge Pokrok 84, Dallas hosting.

In the orbit of lodges which comprise the Third District, Lodge Princesses were preparing and looking forward with anticipation for the. Title and Queen's Crown as a climax to the contest which had been in progress:for some time prior to this day in which each. Princess working with, her Lodge Organizers put their best effort ,forth in selling insurance techniques to gain the greatest number of "points" for the Crown.

Besides the Coronation which culminated this day's Youth Activities, there was a talent contest as well, as a Handicraft Contest for the Youth of Lodges in the District Who wished to enter articles for judging, into the various age groups and various categories.

The Vestnik's Editor and wife upon invitation from the Cottonwood members and youth, reserved two seats on the chattered bus for the trip to Dallas.

Sunday morning, a large, air-conditioned bus bearing the pennant SPJST Cottonwood Lodge No. 6, pasted on both sides of the bus rolled into the West Station to pick up the remainder of the bus load. Soma members living in Waco, had already boarded the bus earlier that morning. The bus with its merry load headed for Dallas. The excitement, chatter and visiting made the trip'seern verY short. Cottonwood's lovely Princess Janie Ilubik with her handsome escort Jerry Janek were with us. They were as full of anticipation and suspense as the rest of us were at the outcome of the contest, whose deadline was, designated as June 15th which, had passed and still there was no inkling of how far up the ladder Cottonwood stood. It was a known fact that the two aggressive organizers,the Krizan brothers, as a team hadn't let any grass grow under their feet; theyc had been hustling new members as their lodge reporters have been listing in the latest issues of the Vestnik, but still no one really knew where Cottonwood stood in the race.

Our good Fort Worth Lodge 154, too, had accepted a huge group of members the time they held their 25th Anniversary celebration. At the request of the

VeST-Nt-E-

B. TEXAS Princess, the Editor did not mention this in his report, for they didn't want any contest secrets to get out, but that group too, was certainly working hard.

As was Lodge 66, in Elm Mott, who just recently at their Open House initiat ed a very large group of new members, whose points went to their Princesses.

Our • bus arrived about 10 a.m. and shortly thereafter the lodge Hall began to witness the District III metribership arriving loaded under armsful of net petticoats, costumes and articles and boxes of articles for the Handicraft Contest entries. Each seemed glad to have arrived to unload their burdens and relax in the air-conditioned Hall.

Tables had been set up along the entire length of the west wall in the large Hall, with placards showing where the different age groups were to deposit their entries until such time as the District Youth Directors and their assistants could star registering the entries and giving them a number, so that when judging, no one knew who brought what.

The numbes in the Talent Contest, too, were due for registration; so that by the time Sister Emma Ceska and Sister Bessie Petr, the District. III Youth Directors arrived, they were-surrounded by registering youth and there was no let-up for these two sisters in directing this vast growing group of youth for a smooth progression of the day's activities.

Just before noon, a bus load of visiting brethren from Houston pulled up before Pokrok's Hall from our District V. We all piled out to greet them and as the members and their wonderful youth spilled out of the bus, we wondered how the driver stacked so many into that bus. The greetings were heartwarming.

Everyone is always glad to see the other.

There is a strong fellowship between Distriet III and District V. and the "red carpet" treatment is always in store for the visiting District. This was no exception. After this, Lodge 84, kitchen, too, had become a beehive. Hot coffee was served the arrivals and the presentation of the noon meal was in full steam. Sister Annie Marek, with a big apron tied around her with "Big Chef" printed across the bib, with all of her willig "Sub Chefs" really handled that hungry mob of visitors with ease.

Thanks to organization and harmony, they all got fed in record time: The day, while hot, was sunny and the District III leaders had publicized this Youth Activity Yay well in advance in letters, invitations, ads in our Vestnik so that the Youth had plenty of time to prepare for it.

It was like a large family reunion: our

Wedneqday, July .1, fraternal reunion.

Youth leaders from the District III lodges, assisted where they, could, either with the youth, or their own particular group of contestants, or whatever the Youth Directors Ceska and Petr requested. Everything went on smoothly for as the long line of hungry folks formed around the Hall to partake of the de licious ham salad, and trimmings, the judges for the Handicraft Contest were in the midst of ,awarding prizes to the articles displayed by the Youth of Dis trict III. It was a big task to choose three awards in each category as best from the mountain of entries displayed.

It would not be fair to just skip over this phase of the program. In the youngest age group, for instance, one saw what an imaginative youngster of up to five years can do with sticks from popidles; or taking Mom's wooden clothespins, converted a proud coffee can into a fine looking planter by separating the clothespins, removing the spring Mechanism, varnish them, and with copper Wire strung in, the spring-mechanism grove, securely twist these pins around the coffee can; or from popsicle sticks make an attractive bread or bun basket, glued in intricate shape, for the table.

The little women in the group made needle books out of colored' felt into which needles could be stored without their rusting. They were cut into butterfly shapes, then, there was the usual woven pot holder articles, embroidered or stitched on the machine. As one, walked from one age group exhibit to the other, one could easily detect the the progress these children achieve by the presentation of articles a little harder to make than the previous group. The lovely mahogony coffee table snbrnitted by the older group could grace any bride's home with pride, as could the table lamp with stands shaped on the shop lathe out of wood and varnished.

There was a beautiful specimen of a ship with full masts, of Christopher Columbus' vintage which would dress up any den or fireplace in the lovliest home.

Number painting, beat copper creations, enameled earrings . on copper base, embroidered pictures of the Lord's Supper, water volors' and dollies, scarves etc. and dresses, dresses, and more lovely dresses made by the young ladies also were exhibited.

The exhibit created much interest among the folks in the Hall, young and old alike and the interest and comments showed that everyone had a healthy re spect for these future home makers (both girls and boys) and their abilities.

When Lodge Eokrok's president,

Wednesday, July . 8, 1959 Brother Sid Pokladnik called us all to be seated that the program was about to' start, everyone had eaten to his heart's content and was willing to sit down to let all of that good food settle.

Briefly, Brother Pokladnik welcomed everyone to Pokrok 84, wishing them all to have a good time with many wonderful metreries to take back to the Home Lodges of this day. He recognized the Supreme Lodge officers, and visiting dignitaries; after which District III Youth Director Sisters Ceska and Petr took over the microphone. Sister Ceska said that the interest shown in the Handicraft Contest made them both very happy. She thanked those who worked with the Youth in preparing for this program r today, to everyone who helped in any way, those who drove the Youth and visitors to Pokrok, etc. especially recognizing the personnel from one of Dalla's professional dancing schools for their time to act as impartial judges in the Talent Contest.

Sister Ceska promised to make a full report of the numbers and contestants, of which there were many, whose names we did not catch.

The first number opened the program with the "five and under" age group, a five year old cutie marching to the "mike" and instructing' us "all stand up" to which she promptly gave the Pledge of Allegience to the Flag. She was from Lodge 66, that much we caught, in the clapping. Then the handsome la'd of the District Organizer, Master Donnie Vrla sank "bogie in the WindoW" followed by a blonde bab-doll from Ennis with a Tap Dance.

Rapidly then followed the age groups, one after another, each striving to do his or her best, to do his lodge proud.

Songs sung• in English as well as Czech by the youth, as well, as instruments, principally the accordions and the piano gave us some beautiful selections which by their -content indicated many hours of diligent practice to perfect them.

There was for instance, little Johnny Pokladnik, who played Anchors Away with such a good tone quality and marching time that he surprised us all.

And, Larry Laznovsky of Ennis a little older lad giving us some classics with heavy cords and, arpeggios. Larry played last year on the Youth Activities Day program and has certainly made progress. The girls, too, were not to be outdone: The two sister teams on accordions, each in a different age group; Little Helen Kolenovsky accompanying herself on her accordion while she sang, Kathie Vrla playing like a pro, the youngster who has just taken up the electric steel guitar; Miss Hattie Matus

giving us some lovely solos, the Combo (four boys: two guitars, piano and drums) which almost raised the roof of the Hall in cheers. Sister Ceska will give you the detailed report of this beautiful Talent Contest.

Not all of the numbers were musical, however, there were recitations, skits, pantomine which brought the House down.

Lodge 154 had a wonderful Square Dance Team of "under 12 years" youngsters who got a lot of recognition; as did the two groups of the Beseda Dancers of Lodge Pokrok 84, wha have been making a wonderful reputation for themselves on various programs in the City of Dallas.

The Dancing Contest was divided into two age groups: each group through the --- Waltz, Polka and the Bop, to bring them all up at the Close of the numbers panting from their exertion.

While the youth merged into the audience, Sister Ceska and Petr introduced the Lodge Princesses who took a bow from among the seated assembly.

Youth Leaders of District V: Sisters Shefcik and Kadlecek and from. District VI. Sister Kleperlik, were then recognized. Youth Club President Hilsher, a handsome teen-ager of the Houston Lodge thanked the District Youth for a wonderful time they were having.

"So, life flows on an ebb, as a river flows past you; the time to do these things is today, not tomorrow, because that is water gone by you; do whatever there is to do in this worla TODAY, it was planned yesterday to be done TODAY. By lending a hand to the Youth, we shall go forward," said Brother Marek.

Briefly, Brother Joe B. Hejny, vicepresident of the Supreme Lodge and head of the Youth and organizational work said: "It makes me feel happy happy that Brother Marek made the statement that the Supreme Lodge appreciates the work done by this District.

I want to thank you, one and all, especially the Youth Directors, who had the hard job of carrying out the program as it has been presented here today."

A spot check roll call was made to ascertain just who represented what section of Texas, extending all a warm welcome. Ennis, Ft. Worth, West, Houston especially well represented.

Brother Arnold Vrla, District IIT organizer, thanked all of the organizers as well as the Princesses present for "doing such a wonderful job."

Participation award ribbons were handed to each participant in the Handicraft Contest as well as the Talent Contest.

As Gus Herz,an's boys began setting up their instruments on the stage for tonight's dance and Coronation, the Princesses and their escorts took leave to a nearby Hotel where Pokrok had reserved a room for the boys and a room for the girls to change into their formal gowns and frocks, and the tension in the Hall was reaching electrifying proportions. Im'patieric,e, suspense, hopes — all of these shown in all of the faces. Each wanted their Princess to become Queen.

Then it came. Both sections of the front door to the Hall were flung open and the presentation began. Alphabetically, starting with Princess Hejny of Ennis and on the arm of her handsome escort came in, in heavenly-blue tulle gown, followed by lovely Princess Hrabina of Ennis in a lovely floor length tulle gown in yellow, Princess Hubik in royal purple tulle, Princess Marek in a ballerina length tulle of apricot; Princers Staglik in a tiered lavender and pink tulle gown, ballerina length; Princess Traywick in a pink tulle ballerina length gown, Princess Renfro in a gorgeous apricot floor length gown made up of tiny ruffles, Princess Skrivanek in a pink ballerina length tulle, and Princess Vrla in a pink Ballerina length tulle gown.

The escorts, too, were handsome in their dark suits or in their white-jacketdark-trousers ensembles each with a boutoniere.

Brother Marek after officially presenting them, had Pokrok's president Pokladnik carry on with the presentation and coronation. They again walked to the end of the Hall for everyone to see and enjoy, Everyone was sitting on the edge of his chair by now in anticipation — but still nothing. What a tease that Brother Pokladnik! The shutterbugs were having a field day, especially those with colored fihn as the costumes were gorgeous — a riot of color.

Finally, yes, finally Brother Pokladnik began to call them back, to the stage end of the hall near which a throne had been constructed to greet the new royalty. Beginning at the bottom, each contestant crossed the Hall on the arm of her escort, under the huge silver Crown of paper and its attached multicolored streamers above the Ball Room floor, to the other side until three couples remained standing.

The suspense was terrific! Then, one couple was called, then another, until Princess Jeannie Hubik and her escort Jerry Janek of the Cottonwood Lodge No. 6, were left, standing alone. "Ladies

What a Surprise! The impact of the cheering crowd, young and old, was a sight to behold. Finally the suspense which prevailed in the background all day, had been broken!

Wednesday, July 8, 1959 making a living that visiting is becoming extinct, except at.functions such as these of our SPJST. And time flies much too swiftly, for the face on the clock on the wall slowly pushed the hands up and up, closer and closer to the midnight hour. Like Cinderella, oer coaches (buses) arrived to claim us, to pull us out of our good times, to remind us that we must go, for tomorrow was another day for us all. So the goodbyes were at hand. We all piled out of the Hall, with the Youth and members of Pokrok at our heels to give us a hearty send-off and off we did go, feeling tired, so tired but happy.

Usually, this would end the report, however, for the Cottonwood bus carrying, home its Queen and King, the Eight was not yet ended. The bus went dead between Forreston and Italy and it wasn't until 3:30 a. m. before another bus out of Waco took us on to West and to Waco to Unload its sleepy occupants.

Again, thanks to Lodge 84 Pokrok's invitation to share in this memorable occasion. You made us all feel welcomed, happy and appreciated — one couldn't ask for more. We, in turn, appreciated you, too. God Bless you, each and everyone!

To the District Officers and their crew of workers, you sure handled a Big Job terrifically. We are all grateful to you for giving us such, a wonderful day to remember, where the fraternal membership and their young counterparts had such a fine time TOGETHER! Like true pioneers, you have again shown the path for the other sister Districts to follow if they want to achieve what you have already achieved. Remember as long as you continue to work harmoniously among yourselves, You can reach all horizons as leaders for others to follow after you. Our warmest wishes go to you!

A report came my way, that be was playing around with his pooch and thereby accumulated a lot of dust in his trousers.

Just want to inform you, that our last lodge meeting held Saturday Night, June 20 was nicely attended. Several friends visited with us again. Also our District Organizer of District No I, Brother V. Barina was present, being a good trader, he succeded, in bringing us a nice program as it was, his daughter of Bay City, Mrs. Shearer, and her three daughters, BeverlyShirley and Cecilia., were spending their vacation at his hame, accompanied by Mrs. Shearer's, niece, Susie Long. Well the girls overheard grandpa say that he was going to Brenham, they approached him and wanted to go with him. Brother Barina, immediately put his trading experience to work, and succeeded in getting his granddaughters in exchange to put on a short program for us. I mean they really did. When those three little girls let loose, from one number to another everyone present was paying them close attention, and in appreciation rewarding them with applause, especially when they let loose, that song about Doctor and cracking that peanut they found. So many thanks BrothcrBarina for being a trader in such a nice way, also many thanks to Mrs. Shearer, Beverly and Cecelia., also little Sussie Long, we really appreciated and enjoyed your kindness. Hurry back to visit us aeain.

We also thank Brother Barina for tipping the kitty. Thank you Brother Barina. Wish to also inform' you that our next meeting in Brenham, will be at the same place Saturday, August 22. So remember and be sure to be there.

VISTNIK WEST, TEXAS West, Texas

Dear Girls: Since the Editor has a little backlog of letter which didn't make the "Vestin time last week, I'm making this note to you short, to give those delayed letters a chance to get in.

As you know by now, District III crowned its Queen in Dallas last Sunday at the District III Youth Activity Day, in which the youth of the different lodges in the District participated. Some of these youngsters I've not seen for a year — how they grow in Texas! It was a very beautiful day. I am truly sorry that more Youth Directors from the various Districts weren't there to witness this outstanding program. Only two other than the Third District were represented by their Youth Leaders.

Girls, Sweet Binnie Bartek of Lodge 92 sent me a SOS regarding the recipe I published recently on the Chinese Rice Dish in which the rcipe called for 1 cup of Mushroom Soup, whereas 1 CAN of Cream of 'Mushroom Soup should be substituted. I might also add that the sausage called for should preferably be pork or have some pork content, to give tne good flavor. Sister Bartek, Thanks.

Your recipe has created interest and much favorabl comment. Thanks again.

Be sure and read Betty Jurica's letter to the Vestnik. She gives a recipe for canning Dilied Okra. Her pointer that Okra which is so plentiful now that one cannot eat it all can be rolled in corn meal, put in a plastic bag and put in the deepfreeze for later use when Okre„ will be off season and sky high in price. Thanks Betty, I shall try some imm:diately for my freezer. I've just a refrigerator compartment, but I've vleaned it out and have only Corn on the Cob in it now. Those vegetables are will be good later!

and then at 2:00 p. in. the program began. The program was opener with: 1. Song -- "Faith or Our Mothers and Fathers" — by a group of youngsters.

2. Opening Number — "How Do You Do?" --- by Victoria Vasek and Marvin Mikusek.

3 "Welcome"

by Patricia Zrabansky.

4. Recitation: 'My Gretting" — by Shirley Holy.

5. Song: "Sil ,:cr Threads Among The Gold." — by group.

6. An Acrostic exercise: "Mother" — six small girls.

7. An .iero,stic exercise: "Father" — six small bo,t',.

8. Been dtion: "Mother's Helpers" — five girls.

9. Recitation: "Mother's Helpers" — five girls.

9. Recitation; "That's Father." five boys.

10. Song: "Clementine" — by group.

11. A Recitotion: "I Was In A Awful Rush" -- Anthony Grones.

12. Cecitation: "My Ambition" — Leonard Sklar.

13. A Playlet: "A Story of a Sandwich" — group.

14. Instrrmental Duet of Old Time Songs — Victor Caba, and Milton Babel.

15. A Recitation: "We've done Our Best." -- Caroline Nebauer.

16. Closing: "We Must Say Goodbye" — Dennis Woytek.

LODGE 56, Antonin J. Cermak Dear Readers: Here I come again with a short letter to the "Women's Nook". It has been sometime since I wrote as a I was kept busy as many other house-wifes. The past six weeks, my daughters and I have been canning and preparing vegetables for the deep freeze.. This is the best time of the year; the gardens were plentiful with vegetables such as squash, beets, cream peas, blackeyes, green beans, cucumbers, okra and loads of roasting ears. The tomato crop is bad because of the rains, also the cantaloupes mostly rotted. All in all I preserved enough food to do for a long time.

I'm enclosing this dill okra recipe: pack pint jars with okra (small) 1 head dill, 1 clove of garlic, 1 hot red pepper (leave stem on okra). Bring to boil: 4 cups vinegar, 1 cup water and 1/2 cup salt. Pour over okra and seal.

Wait 2 or 3 weeks before serving. Chill before serving.

Each mother and father had a. flower These are very tasty with meat and pinned on and their names were put in they are so different. Sisters be sure a box. After the program, names were drawn from the Box. Mrs. Joe Barcak, was named the Mother of the Year; while Mr. Alfonse Holy, became the Father of the Year. Also, the oldest Mother present was Mrs. Vera Hanak, and the, oldest Father present was Mr. F. K. Bucek. Each received one silver The whole brotherhood was saddened dollar.

get the runners home.

Leading hitters were Robert Huggins with a single, Grady Garrett, also a single, Jodie Rejcek with a double and Allen Dunn got on base via base on balls.

After the game we had a real enjoyable get-together. Our thanks to our many loyal followers who were at the game, we're just sorry we lost the game.

We played our second game in the ASA Tournament Sunday night June 28, at Lawnview No. 1 starting at 7:30 p.m.

We played the Massoud Seat Cover team and as luck would have it, all bad for our side, we lost another heartbreaker by a score of 1 to 0. By losing our second consecutive game in the tournament, a double elemination set up, we were eliminated from this special tournament. Grady Garrett, our pitcher, hurled, a very outstanding game allowing only 2 hits, no walks and he struck out 10 batters. To lose two games like this can be discouraging to any pitcher and we all sympathize with Grady for the grand effort he made in trying to win both of the games. The one run scored was unearned and though we improved our efforts, one error was committed and paved the way for the winning run.

We know the three errors that were committed during these two games were unintentional so fellows don't feel bad about them„ anyone on the team could have had the same misfortune as you had.

Let's all forget these two games and relax, get some base hits and win a few more games before the season comes to a close in August. Getting hits for our team were Albin (Bino) Vrana and Glen Kirk who both rapped out singles.

Wilbur Munger again caught and played a fine game.

and try some. As the okra are in season at present and sometime one 'has too many. To preserve these, I slice the okra and roll in cornmeal. Pack in plastic bags and freeze. These won't stick together when ready to use.

The farmers are very busy these days, especially with the cotton. We have poisoned the cotton three times with an airplane and. will have to again.

The fields are infested with, insects and worms. The trouble is that one sort of poison kills one species of bugs and by the time the farmer get through killing the loue,s, every type of bug killer has been used at least the insecticide companies make profit and the farmers are still only gambling. Farming is like gamblig: one never knows when he'll be the winner. As far as that goes in one's life there are many gamblers, so what's the difference.

The milo maize is beginning to ripen.

This is a pretty sight to see; thousands of acres of milo, turning all shades of orange and red. The crop is very promising, hope it stays that way. The maize crop will yield a heavy tonage, the best one in several years.

The Youth Club 56, will play a ball game after the meetings adjourn. Everyone is cordially invited, especially parents of the youth that will participate.

This game should be very exciting as it will be boys vs. girls. So come on girls and practice real hard and show the boys that you too can play baseball and that you're not "sissies."

Lodge 56 has selected Dorothy Jurica as princess of the lodge. The contest will begin July 1, to Sept. 12th, at the district meeting, which will be held Sept.

20th. On that day the queen of the district will be crowned.

The SPJST Youth Activity Day was held at Lodge No. 84, Dallas Texas, last Sunday, June 28th and it was well attended and enjoyed by all the Youth as well as their parents. It was truly a huge success, the best one yet and we the softball team, wish to congratulate the officers of District III and especcially the Youth Director, Sister Emma Ceska and her most capable assistant Youth Director Sister Bessie Petr, for the wonderful job they are doing with all our youth. Also Brother Joe B. Hejny Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge

Wednesday, July , fl, 1959. and State Youth Director who has really been a great asset to our SPJST Order for his interest in the Youth movement. Last but not least,, to all the officers of the Supreme Lodge and also our Editor, who are all 100 per cent for this most vital and essential work, the promotion of the Youth Activities not only in District III, but in all seven Districts throughout the state of Texas.

With such, leadership, encoragement, and the wonderful cooperation of all parents, we should never be confronted too seriously with the problem of juvenile delinquency in our Order. Let's all stand united and work together ,and continue our efforts to make the SPJST Order the best in the second' largest state in the U.S.A. and let us all try to think, act and live according to the code and purpose for which , our order was, organized some 62 years ago.

Do come out to see us play if you can.

We will be glad to have you attend our games.

Fraternally yours, Ben Jarma, Team Manager Lodge Na. 84, Dallas, Texas ) 4, IS EXEMPTION FROM MILITARY SERVICE A BAR TO CITIZENSHIP? Question: r arrived in the United States in 1950 from a country which had a treaty with, the United States perer4tting exemption of its nationals from military service. In 1951, the Embassy of my country applied on my behalf for an exemption and I was not drafted --- In 1956, however, I was again drafted and this time Joined the Army. My application for naturalization has since been refused because of my original application for exemption. Is there anything I can do? I want rvery much to be an American Citizen.

Answer: Generally speaking,aliens who have applied for an exemption from military service because of 'alienage, whether as temporary entrants or as immigrants and who have received such an exOrription, are barred from citizenship.

You were fortunate, however, both because your application preceded the effective date of the Immigration and Nationality Act and also because it was not made on an application form provided by the Selective Service System. The Immigration and Naturalization Service has established a policy, according to which, aliens who have applied through their Embassy, or by letter, prior to April 1953, when the procedures in this matter were finalized, may not necessarily be precluded from naturalization.

The question is a complicated one and you would do well to consult an attorney or other expert skilled in this field.

tram 24 LODGE NO. 84 DALLAS, TEXAS Dear Readers, As you already know, I was chosen as escort to Miss Betty Staglik, the princess representing Lodge No. 84, Dallas. It was indeed a great honor to be escorting our lodge representative. This is one occasion which will linger in my memory for a long time. There is nothing I had rather do than to represent my lodge. I am indeed very proud to be a member of such a wonderful fraternal organization.

I would first of all like to thank Miss Betty Staglik for choosing me as her escort. Next, the Lodge 81 and Supreme Lodge for the nice gifts given the princesses and their escorts. I am very grateful.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the winning princess from Lodge No. 6, Cottonwood, West; Queen Jeanie Hubik and her escort.

In closing I wish only to say that I am proud that the contest was a success and this was made possible only by the work not only of Queen Jeanie, but by all the work and efforts of all the princesses.

James Janousek, Escort of Lodge No. 84 ) • •16 • t HOUSTON, TEXAS Dear Members and Friends: All of us from Houston wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful time shown to us while we were in Dallas on June 28. We enjoyed every minute of our visit and hope you will soon come to Houston so we can do the same for you again.

We chartered a Continental bus and left Houston about 6 a.m. On the way there, the bus was filled with singing and we were accompanied by E. J. Kadlecek's accordion and ukulele. That is after we all woke up. The early hours of getting up is something most of us are not use to. We stopped several times to get something to drink. Each time we stopped created the same problem --counting the heads. It seems we would always get a smaller number of people than we had at first. I sure hope no one was left behind. At one stop, the teenagers presented the two sponsors that Were with us orchids which they so richly deserved. They have been such a help to us.

Our trip back home was an even more enjoyable one. The teenagers were determined that no one was going to sleep. tut after a while, we were even sleeping.

We got into Houston about 4 a.m. Monday morning.

We wish to thank you for the wonderful food that was served to us. your

Congratulations from Houston to the District III Queen of Cottonwood. Your lodge worked hard, I am ■ sure, so that you could get this title. It is only too bad that all the girls could not be queens for each worked hard.

This is a reminder that the teenagers will have their next meeting on July 10.

Through their warm-hearted interest in young members of SPJST Miss Kristinek and Mr. Hejny have made our dream a reality.

Thank you a million!

Respectfully, Jerry Ann Urban, Secty.-Reporter Lodge 84 Editor's Note: Thanks to you for your comments. Let's hope that all our Youth will derive untold benefits from your "own" monthly. ) • 14 • ( LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS, TEXAS Dear Friends and Readers, In my estimation our Youth Activities Day in Dallas turned out to be a huge success. Everyone seemed so friendly and congenial toward .one another.

The crafts were very interesting, in fact, most of them were so well constructed they had a near professional look. The contests were fun and the tallent was teriffic.

I would like to congratulate Jeannie Hubik on being crowned Queen of District III. We are all very proud to have her serve as representative of this District. They couldn't have picked a better or more capable candidate. The ceremony was very impressive and all the princesses were an unusually sweet and lovely bunch of girls. Each one was an asset to her lodge. I felt honored to be one of them and was thrilled to be able to meet all the girls and their nice escorts. We had such a good time and I will always cherish the pleasant memories.

I want to say "Thank you" from the bottom of my heart to the organizers of our lodge No. 84 who made this possible

Congratulations on a job well done to Brother Joe B. Hejny, Sister Emma Ceska, and of course our own Sister Bessie Petr and all the many Youth leaders and officers who worked so diligently on this project. It is one they may well be proud of.

Yours, Betty Staglik P.S. I certainly can't let the opportunity go by without Congratulating Brother and Sister Syd and Justine Poklodnik on their Silver Anniversary which they celebrated June 30, at the St. Thomas Catholic Church. I hope they have at least 50 more happy and prosperous years together. ) • 4• • CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS Dear Readers, I will write a few lines just to mention that there will be a baseball game after our next Youth Club meeting. The girls will play against the boys. This will be a very exciting and interesting game.

We would like to invite the members of the 'mother Lodge to go and see it.

I am almost finished with my painting which I will enter in the painting contest. The Youth was asked to bring their bats, balls, and gloves to be used in the game.

Iwill be seeing all the Youth at our next Youth Club meeting, which will be held on July 12, 1959.

Naturally, we all were a "little" dissappointed but we soon became comforted by the information that in the not-so-distant future it would be planned again at an even nicer place.

Friday, the 26th, found busy weathermen forecasting high winds and scat teredF showers. However, the unfallorable weather bulletins did not keep any teen-agers from attending the "Teen Dance." Previous to the dance each teen-

The music of Don Hosek's Combo was simply the "mostest." As the Combo played, sprightly and energetic teens danced away the minutes.

We are very grateful to our thoughtful chaperones who generously sacrificed their time to spend a few "watchful" hours over us. We truly appreciate it..

Much too quickly the clock on the wall struck "midnight" and happy boys and girls reluctantly left the dance having enjoyed themselves to the "utmost."

Thus ended another fun-filled night and another successful activity of Lodge 84's Teen-Age Division.

Cordially, Jerry Ann Urban Secretary-Reporter _____.a • 4„ • ( DALLAS, TEXAS, LODGE NO. 84 Dear Readers, The Youth. Achievement Day which was held at our lodge on June 28 was in every way a success. The turn out was tremendous. The entries were many and each lodge in District 3 should be proud of their entries, for they were all very talented. In the morning the craft was displayed and judged by the appointed judges. They made fine selections. Just before dinner, a chartered bus arrived from Houston and I must say we were all very happy that they came up for the day. The teenagers in Dallas provided transportation for the teenagers from Houston to attend Sunday Mass. It is due to Margaret Runk, the cute blond from Houston, for making plans ahead for the teenagers. We were more than happy to help out. I hope they enjoyed being here as much as we enjoyed having them. We are hoping they will come again very soon.

At night there was the Princess Ball honoring the lodge Prinsesses. They were all dressed very beautifully. After the crowning, the people from Houston and District 5 started on their journey home.

We bid them the traditional farewell as the bus pulled away into the night from our lodge home. Later the people left on the bus which was chartered from Cottonwood. We are happy they came and hope they had a nice trip home.

Once again another Youth Day has come and gone; but the memory of it will last. We in Dallas will be looking forward to one again in 1960.

Because we are going to have a baseball game that we know everyone will enjoy. Also the ones that are painting pictures should bring their pictures because we are having our contest. So all of you come to our meeting.

Youth Club President, Virginia Hermis )• •( TEENAGEDIVIS•ON LODGE NO. 84 Dallas, Texas Dear Members and Friends, On Friday, June 26, we held our "Teen Dance". Considering the bad a very nice crowd. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves very much. The Don Hosek Combo featuring Odell Booker, played and as always his music was tops and enjoyed by all present. About the middle of the evening, we held our two dance contests. One was the "slowdanee" contest and the other the "fast dance" contest. We wish to thank our judges Mr. and Mrs. John Bickle; and Evelyn Janousek and Mike Hall. They really had a hard task of picking the winners, for all the dancers were very good. I must say thought that they made a fine selection. Thanks again Bobbie Anne and John; and Evelyn and Mike.

The winners of the "slow-dance" were Carol Ann Worley and Tommy Martin, both of Dallas. The "fast-dance" winners were Juanita Janousek of Dallas; and Ray Harrison of Ennis. Congratulations, winners.

The chaperones were Mrs. Loe Kopocky Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Mahdak, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Ondrusek, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Petr (our youth leader and husband), Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Rejcek, and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Urban; We thank you for sacricicing your time for us. It is due to your willingness to help and cooperate with us that has made our teenage club so successful. The success in a Teenage Club is in its backbone. And that consists of the youth leader, the parents, and the Mother Lodge. The job can't be done by only a few. It takes the something from each and everyone of them.

Of course this report would not be complete with out giving special thanks to our youth leader, Mrs. Bessie Petr (Mama Bessie). Every time we have anything in the way of teenage activity, we always give to her a special thanks. It is too bad that there aren't any other kinds of thanks we could give her — something more special. For with all she has done for us those two words, Thank

Strafla 25 You, do not seem to be enough. No one can start to figure the hours she spends with us and helping us. We are certainly grateful to her.

We are certain all those present had an enjoyable time and we are already making plans for another "Teen Dance" later on in the year.

Fraternally yours, Entertainment Committee James Janousek, Chmn.

• YOUTH AVTIVITY DAY IN DALLAS IS GREAT SUCCESS Early Sunday morning, June 28, streame of people made their way through the friendly doors of . Lodge 84's spacious hall. Visitors from every Lodge in District III gathered together to enjoy an entire day filled to the brim with entertaining and exciting, activities.

Eager boys and girls began entertaining their prized craft items in the crafts contest at approximately 10:00 a,m. The entries for both the crafts and talent contests took considerably longer than it was hoped. However, Mrs. Ceska and her able assistants managed to smile their way through to the end.

A few minutes bafore 10:00 a bus from Lodge Cottonwood, West, Texas, and a chartered bus from Houston wheeled its concerned that we were able to have a successful and a pleasant evening. way in carrying '"a countless number of people. Lodge 84's Teen-Agers welcOnied them to our Hall and then chauffeured the visiting teen-agers to Sunday Mass.

Before long an almost limitless line of people formed for dinner. Gracious hostesses from Lodge 84 served each one a delicious dinner, refreshing drinks, and lucious pastries.

After having eaten heartily, the guests were able to sit back and enjoy a rather lengthy, yet a most pleasing talent 'show.

All of the participants did their very best to win a coveted prize. Indeed, the judges had an extremely difficult time picking only three winners from each age bracket. On completion of the talent show, many noted figures of our Supreme Lodge were introduced and requested to say a few words. In the meantime, hopeful couples waited anxiously for the dance contest to begin. Finaly the moment arrived and the boys and girls danced as they have never danced before.

Following the dance contest, came the conclusion of the program. The famed Beseda Group of Lodge 84, dressed in colorful native Kroj, marched briskly be fore the visitors to dance once again the Czech National Dance.

Then, after what seemed hours, the

Strum 26 winner of each group was announced.

Well-pleased with themselves, the ju bilant winners accepted their cash awards.

The day's activities quitely subsided for a few hours until the night. At that time nine Princesses made their grand entrance accompanied by their escorts.

After a few solos the Princesses and escorts took their place at the back of the hail to me introduced in the order in which they ranked in the District Contest. Having introduced six of the candidates, Mr. Sid Pokladnik, Lodge 84's President, increased the tension of the crowd by making several impressive comments on the results of the contest.

Then, upon introducing the third and second place winners, Mr. Pokladnik reached the climax of the evening -- the presentation and the crowning of her Majesty the Queen, Miss Jeannie Hubik of Lodge No. 6, Cottonwood, West. Supreme Lodge Officers heaped congratulations on the attractive Queen and the King while,members of the Royal Court looked on. It was truly a beautiful scene and event and one that will live long in the history of District III. Minutes after the crowning, the "outof-towners" said Good-Bye to newlymade friends and set out toward home.

The entire Youth Day was a overwhelming soecess in ev.c.ry way. Many cash awu -a, brought gleeful smiles to youthful faces, many new friends were 1112 de, Cr,enormous amounts, of insurance sold, and the "dream-night" of each of the Princesses became a reality. But, most Important of all, was the true and -wn m spirit of fraternalism that shone brightly among fellow fraternalists.

Never will the 1959 Youth Activity Day be forgotten by anyone!

We ate dinner at about 12:30 and I must say it was very nice. The talent contest began at approximately 3:00 with the age bracket of 1 to 6 starting. Then came ages 7 to 12, and then 13 to 19.

After the talent, came the dancing contest. The waltz was followed by the polka, and the' jitterbug. Ages 12 to 19 were first and all under 12 were last.
