Dnes bych Vain ptatele rad neco pomel, co east() jsem sam a jiste i Vy jste totig ze nejlep gi pkilelitost k navazani ptatelstvi jest v na gich tadovYch i jinYch schriZich. Tam mono seznamiti s bratry a sestrand z jinYch mist a osad a proto mnohe ty okrskove schtize jsou tak zdatile, Ze radi o nich Vam zpravy podavame. Sestkavame a seznarnujeme se s dobrYmi pracovniky pro Jednotu s rtiznYch osad a zajiste, Ze mnozi si odnageji domil podobne jako my posilu k dalginm spoleenemu snaZeni.

V to nagi praci pro dalsi postup nasi Jednoty nesmime nikde a nikdy ochabovati.

Spoluprace stva ovsem e je vsude veledtrlelita, a Zadouci.

Poznaxame to v ge pH tech na gich rtznYch zajezdech a mame s toho ,uptinmou radost. Mame dobii lide vgude v nagich osadach a jest zapotiebi jen nejake to uptimne povzbuzeni, dobrYch vedoucich a ty na ge osady a tady Jednoty mohou dobre pokraeovati.

'26,dna, takova spoleeenska prate pro dobro osady, pro dobro na gi mladeZe, by nam nemela ptichazeti za teZko. — PHpomerite si sestry a bratti, Ze na Vas kdys bude s po yclekem pamatovano. — Ne podle toho jak velkY majetek jste zde zanechali, ale vette ze jen podle toho, co jste pro dobro, pro povzneseni sveho nejbliZ giho okoli, sve osady, pro dobro jinYch pro • radost to dortistajici mladeZe — jste za Ova vykonali.

Mluvime-li o rnen gich osadach, nechceme Het, Ze se tam spoleeenske styky a ptatelstvi nepostuje, ba naopak tam prave snadno se oZivuje ptatelske a sousedske vztahy a pekne se nam vgem tam beseduje. — Na torn na gem venkove jsem east() pozoroval piatelstvi se do svedeuje pH pohtbu elena toho ktereho tadu a to dostavuji se v znaenern poetu i

To plati snad nejvice pro na ge osady ye vetgich mestech kde jest nekolik Mar a kaZdY Zije svYm vlastnim Zivotem.

Vitand by byla jiste obeas takova, ptatelska schtrze spoleeenska., ktera by poskytla ptilelitost starkm ptateltun se setkati a obnoviti stare znamosti a ptatelstvi. Takove obeasne spoleene shromaZ deni by to na gi druZnosti velice prospelo a mohlo by se stati jednou z vYznaenYch uddlosti v rote.

Bez vysvdtleni a drikazil ten clopis vyvolal mezi dleny na gi Jednoty imporozumeni, pochybnost a nedaveru. Zde uvadim nekolik bode toho dopisrt ktere potkebuji objasneni a dukazy vellce nutne.

To vezme eas a nejlepe, zaciti hned.

Na to same strance, ten samY sloupek, jen o jeclnu kadku doleji mame nasledujici: "Ad nage Jednota, musi se na to vgdy pamatovat, ze v gecky jeji zalegitosti se musi, nab 'g e by mely bYti vedeny, vykonavany a rizeny tim sa,mYm vyzkoug enYm zpilsobem a v souhlase s tend sarnYmi obchodnimy zasadarny a pravicily jako kterYkoliv eiste obchodui podnik a ge jeji vedouci, jeji akednici a keditele by men bYti zrovna tak schopni v gdelanim, schopnSani. zkuS'enostmi a vYcvikern ve v gech ohleclech jako akednici kte rehokoliv obchodniho podniku pkiblig -nevlikost,druhaozsu,byni rnohli na gi Jeclnotu aspegnd vesti a ziskati ji peed ostatnim svi, tern tu sarnou nroven, nett( a vt-Crinost."

Pak trochu doleji, to sama stranka, ten samY sloupek a paragraf, podinaje clvacatou prvni radkou: "Je na rase aby pkiSti sjezd si vSimnul tech vYstragnYch znameni na obzoru, ktere nam, kteri je chceme videti, biji do oei a postaral se o napravy ktere pottebujeme a odstranil ty pkekagky, ktere po poslednich 20-30 rokii stoji pokroku nail Jednoty v ceste. ..."

LODGE 84, DALLAS, TEXAS Dear Readers: On Thursday night, August 6, we had a make-up game with McCord Music and we were awarded the game by a score of 7 to 0 on a forfeit, because'tney had only seven players who showed up, so we were declared victors. This concluded all of our regular league games in both leagues and only our League Championship games remain to be played before our season will be concluded.

Though. McCord Music didn't have a full team, we let them use three of our players and we played them a five inning practice game. This game ended in a 1-1 tie, so we had a very good night Grady Garrett hurled for us and pitched a very good game behind the plate.

Leading hitters for our team were: Albin Vrana and Grady Garrett with single safties.

We had a nice turnout of rooters at the game and we deeply appreciate their presence. After the game, a group of the players and rooters got together for a nice visit.

In the Dallas City League Championship playoffs, we drew Ling Electric as our first opponent and game time was 7:30 p.m. Sunday night on Lawnview Diamond 'No: 1. We played Ling Electric Sunday night, August 9 and we defeated them by a score of 6 to 1, behind the superb one-hit hurling of Grady Garrett. He walked two batters and struck out ten batters as he was in fine form. Wilbur Munger caught a very fine game behind the plate. As a matter of fact, everyone on the team played great ball as only one miscue was committed in the game.

Contributing to the one nun scored by our opponents. The high light of the game was our hitting as we got a total of 10 hits, 2 walks, and 3 sacrifice bits.

Leading our hitters were: Grady Garrett with 2 single:, and Glen Kirk with 2 doubles, Albin (Bino) Vrana with a double, Ben Jarma with a single and

V I S. T l .1 IC — WEST, TEXM a sacrifice fly, Ted Dusek Jr., with a single, Frank Mach III with a single and a walk, Don Hanks a sacrifice hit, Allen Dunn with a single and a walk, and Wilbur (Moose) Munger a single and a sacrifice fly. These hits were the difference in the ball game and they were appreciated by all concerned. This was about the best game we played this season. By virtue of this win, we play the St. Pius X team, Tuesday night at Lawnview No. 2, 2nd game at 8:45 p.m. in the second round of play in the League Championship Playoffs.

Should we win our game Tuesday night, August 11, then we will play again on Wednesday night, August 12 at 8:45 p.m. on Lawnview No. 1.

We •had a real wonderful turnout of members and friends at the game who really cheeaed for our team, sure was a wonderful feeling having so many rooters in the stands. We wish to thank the nice group of Teenagers who came out, to watch the game, we knew they wouldn't let us down! Thanks to everyone who came out to see the game, we sincerely appreciated your wonderful support and we know most of you will be at the game Tuesday night, August 11th.

On Tuesday night Aug. 11 we played St. Pius X, men's club team in the second round of the playoffs, and we defeated them by a score of 4 to 1, in a real good game. Grady Garett, our pitcher, hurled another outstanding game allowing only 2 hits, walked none, and struck out 12 batters. Wilbur (Moose) Munger, his battery mate, caught a very fine game. I'll have to say, our pitcher received very fine support of all the rest of the team as only one error was committed, however, this lead to the one unearned nun which they scored.

Leading hitter for our team Ted Dusek Jr., who clouted a home run with one on, a single and he also had a walk.

Grady Garrett had a double, Ben Jarma a single, a sacrifice and a walk; Albin (Bino) Vrana a walk; and. Don Hanks had 2-walks. We seemed to bet the walks and hits when we needed them which contributed greatly to our win. By winning this gaaae we gained the quarter final bracket of the playoffs and we played the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company team, Wednesday night, Aug. 12, at Lawnview No. 1, the second game at 8:45 p.m.

We had even a larger turnout of fans at this game which was , indeed, gratifying and also considering the fact that everyone attending these playoff games had to pay a 50c admission to see the games. I have said it so many times and Will say it again, such loyal support from

Wednesday, August 19, 1959, our rooting section helps tremendous-, ly, especially in these close hard games.

We just hope most of them will be present Wednesday night as we deeply appreciate their cheering.

Wednesday night, August12„ we were eliminated from the Championship playoffs by losing to the Telephone Company by a score of 2-1. This was a hard gatrie to lose and our team was in there battling all the way! Grady Garett was on the mound and he hurled a fine game, striking out 7 batters, walking one and giving up 9 hits. Wilbur Munger turned in another very good game behind the plate. We had runners on base in three different innings, but our batters didn't come through in these instances, which ultimately resulted in our defeat. I will say this, that all of the fellows on the team tried real hard and we really wanted to win this important game.

Leading hitters were: Ted Dusek, Jr., with a double and a single; Glen Kirk with 2 singles and Grady Garrett also with 2 singles. Getting on base via walks were: Don Hanks and Allen Dunn with two apiece, and Jody Rejcek and Ben Jarma with one each.

We had another very nice turnout of members and friends at the game and we wish to extend our thanks to everyone who attended our playoff games for your wonderful and loyal support. We are all disappointed that we didn't win this last game, but we have to accept things as they happen — for better or for worse.

My sincere thanks to all the players for your cooperation, determination, your loyal support and sportsmanship which you all displayed in these playoff games. I am proud to sa y .I enjoyed being your manager this past season.

All in all, it was a most successful sea-, son as well as an enjoyable one.

Now let's all be ready for the Climax of our season, the Annual Steak Supper to be held in the very, near future.

Buckholts Lodge And RVOS Local Fete Members At Annual Dinner After the regular meting of the SPJST a joint dinner was held for the membership of the SPJST and the RVOS membership, at the SPJST Hall Sunday, August 16.

Supreme Lodge officers, Brothers: Marek, Chupick, Director Navratil and Attorney Kacir represented our brotherhood.

RVOS Supreme Lodge officers, Brothers: Valehar, Slavik and Barton represented that sister lodge.

Brother Edward Marek, President of the SPJST Supreme Lo.,:e spoke of brotherhood among the different Czech lodges in Texas, of the good will and warm fellowship that exists among them all.

Brother Chupick, the SPJST Secretary, spoke about our "Freedoms" in America that freedom reflects down to each individual in, each lodge.

Brother Chupick complimented the Buckholts lodge for their good worker of long years who is serving on the Press Committee for the Vestnik, to make it a most enjoyable fraternal paper in Texas. He also commended the Editor for his efforts for hormonious unity.

Brother Hosek, your Editor, spoke about the true sisterly and brotherly love, while impersonnal, yet true and warm with understanding, tolerance and forgivness for each others shortcomings.

Brother Jerry Valchar, President of the RVOS Supreme • Lodge, spoke of the difference between private insurance organizations and the fraternals and pointed out the great advantages in rates and other privileges that the law still allows them.

Brother Slavik, Secretary of the RVOS thanked the Buckholts president for the recognition given him, but declined to talk, saying he didn't want to hold up the dinner, which was good naturedly accepted by all.

While the speeches were short, because they were held before dinner and evryone was eyeing the long tables lade/led with all of that delicious C'zech cooking, they did 'convey a message of fraternal fellowship, in unity and cooperative lodge work.

It was a pleasure to meet the officers of the Buckb,olts Lodge. They were all conscientiously doing their best to host

the gathering, making us welcome and bidding us to feel at home. Thanks!

It was a pleasure to meet the Lodge reporter, Sister Kathleen Jurca, who promised to keep Buckholts Lodge before the readers of our. Vestnik. Sister Jurca, doesn't speak Czech, but she has learned to love these fine Czech people of her husband's extraction and she is willing to do as much as she can to keep the Vestnik's family informed of "doings" in that lodge. We are looking forward to many happy and informative reports.

Dear Sister Posival was again her chipper self. She had beer. ill and it was a pleasure to shake her hand and that of her husband.

The Frank. Vytopils and the Steve Regfrwunds of Bryan were also visiting relatives in that part of the country. It was most pleasant to see them again! They are a part of a group who are "pushing" a lodge home of their own down in Bryan. The whole brotherhood wishes them lots of luck and member cooperation.

They have one of the finest memberships.

Then to top it all, the Stanley Slacaleks of the Guy Lodge, way down Fort Bend County way, were also visiting relatives ond this day, and the editor and wife had a most pleasant visit with these old neighbors. They both• make a very handsome pair of grandparents, for the little girl we once knew is a mother of a fine strapping boy. Our love to you, Mrs. Betty!

There was a charming couple from Hempstead, whose name we started out to get and got side tracked, also visiting relatives.

We do want to say, however, that here too, one saw so many beautiful youngsters present with their parents. What large Youth Club this could be, if some good sisters, would take these youngsters under their wings and work with them. It would take one who loves thildren, who is patient with their restlessness, one who is impartial by fair judgement in leading them, and whose sole payment would be their love, loyal.,3/ and admiration for giving them some of the most beautiful times of their lives. The memories of her and what she has done for them would come back to her again and again, with their thanks, whenever she would meet them.

The Editor and wife wish to thank the Buckholts Lodge and the RVOS Lodge for their invitation to break bread with them, at their Annual Dinner, to visit and enjoy them, and our sincerest best wishes go to them both for con-

lowing Princesses are competing in a contest for the Queen's Crown, next 'month: Sisters Ann Hetmer, Karen Koncak, Carole Nemec, Nodya Re,icel ,.: and Jerry Ann Urban. He then requested these five lovlies to join the present Princesses at the head table. The Queen nd King were also introduced.

Pokrok's presLent Brother Sid Pok• ladnik applauded the young group.

"You have shown us in a Spirit of sisterly and brotherly manner in representing this lodge in our SP,ToST brother-

Strana 20

SISTER JEIttitY ANN URBAN hood in a manner in which we are very glad to be able to say that you are truly our King and Queen. We feel not only in a fraternal way, but also close to our hearts that we can be proud to have such young people representing our Lodge No. 84."

To the Teen-Agers or Lodge No 84," continued Brother Polaadnik, "there were times, I know, when things have been done and said that may have not appeared as you would have liked them to be but I would like to zay in front of all of you Teen-agers, brothers and sisters, Princesses, King and Queen, and our sisters who will be our next princesses for the coming year that at no time did the Mother Lodge do or say things to hurt you, but only felt our duty and responsibilities, should something not pan-out. Then the officers would have been to blame, so I would like to be in a position to say these things as they come up as we have our functions. In order to be able to keep our Lodge on the most friendly basis possible I do have to say that by going to so many different ledges, in so many different cities in Texas, we can still be the proudest of all. Your conduct, your attitude, your love for your fellow teenagers as well as your Mother Lodge, :s most gratifying," continued Brother Pokla dnik.

Good sports," concluded Brother Pokladnik," are hard to find and in having contests like we have here, only good sports win, even though everyone cannot be the King and Queen. If you can show the sportsmanship as in the past, you can be sure that we will be recognized! I want you mothers and fathers to know that whenever we call on these youngsters, we want them to grow and continue to work as they have up to now."

V tS TN1K- WEST, TEXAS Brother Ben Jarma, Pokrok's Veep, came to the microphone to say: "I want to thank you for inviting us to be here today. It is a wonderful occasion and I just want to wish to each of the five princesses the best of luck. There can only be one "winner" so win or lose, we shall all be pulling for you," Sister Anne Steiner also added her good wishes to the youth.

Organizer Emil Petr also thanked the Youth for their invitation to the "gala affair." He also thank yl the Princesses of last year who helped him sell the insurance, stating that he will be glad to work with the new Princesses for the coming year.

Brother Frank Steiner a l so complimented the youth. Regarding the Princesses Coronation Dance in June 13rother Steiner said: "It was the most beautiful experience in my life. Other Districts are following our lead. It can be duplicated if they have the imagination like we have here.

Brother Frank Henzen stited: "What we are doing here: you are up a vrecedence for the other lodges! It is a wonderful thing! We wish you the best of luck! May the best one win! God Bless you!

Brother Arnold Vrla, District III Or. anizer spoke next: This is really something nice. Fast of all we want to thank the Teen-Agers for their invitation."

Brother Vrla then cot' eyed regrets from Brother Joe B. Tie.' y of the Suoreme Lodge for his absence due to illless, stating that Brother Hejny sends ais best wishes for future progiess as in she past. Brother Vrla also brought best wishes from the Skrabaneks of District J (Houston).

The Vestnik's Editor sent his regrets through his wife for his ab6unce Our to its obligation to his Lodge in Fort Worth for he was on the Auditing Committee, and he was auditin g, but sending his love, best wishes and continued success and his continued support of their Youth activities in r ough our Vestnik's pages.

Brother Richard Sykora stated: "I think that this Princess Dance will be eve enmore successful than in the past."

And so the pep-talks and enthusiasm continued.

Then their beloved youth leader Sister Bessie Petr and laer charming assistant sister Carlene Ondrusek (we should be seeing a lot more of this very nice person) took a bow to a thunderous applause.

Wednesday, August 19, 1959 "Queen Juanita and King James, I know the lodge is very proud of you. As for you five princesses, you are all lovlies in my heart and each and everyone of you are wearing a "Crown" in my eyes.

Remember, girls, the harder you work the sooner you will reach your goal!"

Sister Peter then introduced the various members of the Entertainment Committee.

Brother James Janousek then thanked Brother Steiner for the large 16 foot sign on the Hall wall. Immediately the Princesses, escorts, king and queen stood up behind the sign while the shutter bugs took pictures of them.

Brother James Janousek also thanked Brother and Sister Sid and Justine Pokladnik for the placards donated by them for this Anniversary Dance, and to brother and sister Otto Janousek for donatinge the tickets to the dance.

Brother Ben Jarma announced that his softball team won two trophies last year to add to their ever growing collection.

Then the Marathon Dance winners: Jerry Ann Urban and James Janousek, received a huge trophy also to add to the Lodge trophy case. Every six months there will be a Marathon Dance.

This closed the after-banquet speaking add the teen-agers immediately set to motion their Teen-Age Meeting. They went through business rapidly, making deCisions, setting dates, etc.

The most interesting and effective collection of dues ever displayed was presented when their Treasurer began calling out names and amounts (all under a dollar) of dues in arrears. While it may have been a bit embarrassing, it was taken in good humor and laughter, but immediately after the meeting they swarmed about her and paid up. This just might be what our Lodge Financial Secretaries have been looking for in collecting accounts in arrears. Anyway it worked!

After the meeting and 8-MM projector was set in the club room for showing films taken during the Coronation Dance, the Youth Activity Program and the Dude Ranch Holiday taken by some of these active youngsters.

It was a very enjoyable day spent among these bustling people — made one almost lose the years sitting upon one's head.

Besides our love and admiration for these wonderful young people, goes our best wishes for continued success.

The Editor's Wife

Editor's Note: Congratulations to all "I want to thank you for what you My good, young friends in Dallas, I am have done in the last Prindess Dances," sorry that I could not be with you on said Sister Petr." that Sunday.

By all means bring your children!

Let me suggest to you, ladies, that you wear comfortable shoes for the place is pretty rocky and hilly. You will be more comfortable in a print dress and loafers than in your Sunday best.

We will go to Camp Tahuaya to have a good time so all of you cane. Children may wear shorts if they prefer. Ladies. if you swim, bring your suits.

We are looking forward to this day so you, parents, don't let your children down by not bringing them or not wanting to go. You children, stamp your foot and make your , daddy and mommy take you to Camp Tahuaya. Maybe some have never been to a camp and so this will be a good opportunity to go some place they have never been. I am sure they will have the time of their life.

Sister Theresa Driska will show her pictures which she took while she was in Europe two years ago. She will show them to those who will not want to participate in the contests and will not swim. She will show the pictures after the short business meeting that even you older folks will have something to do. Her pictures are very pretty from what I have heard.

Brothers Mikolaj and Clhervenka promised me that they would send in the directions to get to Camp Tahuaya so I will not bother trying to tell you how to get there.

So don't forget to bring your sack lunch, bathing suit, and wear comfortable clothes. Everyone come to Camp Tahuaya on Sunday August 31.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Clara Hejl 3 MILES FROM BELTON

Strana 22 COTTONWOOD LODGE NO. 6 Dear Brothers and Sisters: Only the officers of our. Cottonwood Lodge No. -6, our famous organizer Bro. Rudolph Krizan of Waco and a mere handful of members were present last Sunday, August 8 for our 'monthly meeting. The officers transacted all of the business of our "picnic" which was held August 2. and I am proud to make this report to your all, that the picnic was a wonderful success. We are all very grateful for the cooperation of everyone who took part with us that day.

Many, many thanks to all of you who helped in every way to make our Annual Picnic so outstanding. Thanks also to all the good sisters who brought the other goodies and tasty food.

We had a record-breaking crowd which will be in the memory of our Lodge and District III Queen, Sister Jeanie Hubik whose picture now hangs on the wall in our Mother Lodge Hall at Cottonwood.

The Youth Program was well delivered and very entertaining. The Hall was packed to enjoy these young people. The speakers, too, were inspiring. We were very glad to have Brother Joe B. Hejny Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge of Temple, Brother Arnold lirla, District III Organizer from Dallas with us, and Brother Editor Hosek and his wife and of all the others from the different Lodges. There were just too many to write about them all. All that our Lodge can say is, that we were very glad to have you with us and we were also thrilled to have the two Traveling Trophies with us for that day.

In behalf of myself, our Queen Janie Hubik and the Krizan brothers, we wish to personally say "thanks to the Supreme Lodge through our V'estnik for the tokens that we received that day.

They will always be dear to us.

The Youth sold chances for three donated gifts as prizes. The first gift was drawn by Walter Plunkett of Abbott, who won a table lamp 'donated by the.

Ben Franklin Store of West. The second prize was a sleepy doll won by Bro. Joe B. Hejny of Temple and donated by Sister Ruth Krizan. The third prize was a small Bride Doll which Cyril Svrcek of West won and which was donated

by Sister Marie Janecka. To our little salespeople "thanks" also. They were Evelyn Merenda, Johnnie Krizan, Betty Beseda and another little Miss whose name we failed to write down. You all did a very good selling job. We are proud of you.

For the Youth Program presented here this day, see the Vestnik in another-section for its listing.

V2STNIK— VVE,ST, TEXAS As Youth Director of Cottonwood Lodge, I want to thank the youngsters very kindly for doing such a good job on the program and also thank the good mothers for helping me out as I could not have done it alone.

The dance at night began with the Queen and King dancing the first number solo, dressed in their formals as they did when they appeared in Dallas at Lodge No.. 84, that lucky night, when they were crowned. They looked very beautiful!

Once again "Thanks" to everyone for their wonderful cooperation.

Our next meeting, brothers and sisters, will be Sept. 6th at 1:30 p.m. and please, please be sure to be there if you want to know how the picnic turned out, as well as other important business.

Our Secretary read the minutes which were approved as read, then Brother E. Kovar gave his report on our celebration. The results were very good. Then Brother Frank. Hejl gave a report of our Funds and Brother Troubil gave his report on the Rest Home Booth, Project, which was really good. I know you read about it in his report in our Vestnik.

I am glad to report that again this month we gained two new members.

We also voted to table the discussion on obtaining natural gas for our hall.

We also voted to change some of our By-Laws and let the By-Law Comniittee work out some new ones in which we would give our Property Committee the authority to select the Entertainment Committee instead of electing them by the membership.

We also had some visitors with us this time. They were: Brother and Sister Ed. Holly from San Antonio and Sister Hugo Sefcak from Dallas. We were really glad to have them.

After the meeting adjourned, the sisters served a delicious lunch.

The weather was just perfect — kind of cool after the rains we had Saturday of last week.

Our farmers are nearly all through combining their maize. Some havd start-

Wednesday, August 19, 1959 ed to harvest the corn and the cotton has started to open up — but the rains will kind of slow things down a little.

For this time, this is about all, so until next time when we'll see each other at our meeting, I remain.

Fraternally, Mrs. Frank Pokorny , • al * t SOKOL AND SPJST NO. 130 The postponed family picnic, given by Sokol and SPJST No. 130, was held last Sunday, Aug. 9th, on a beautiful afternoon. We had a very nice attendance and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

The drawing was held after the picnic supper and was carried out in the aceustomed way. The third prize, a pencil trivet, was drawn first, the second prize. the pastry board, was drawn second, and the "Grand Prize," the quilt was drawn last.

The lucky winners were as follows: Third prize — Mrs. John Konakovsky Second prize — Mrs. W. D. Jordan First prize — Mr. Emil Hrabina We want to thank everyone who helped, those who sold tickets and those who bought them, as every ticket sold was a combination towards the final completion of our new gymnasium and lodge home. We again want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Pokladnik Sr. for their very generous contribution which made this drawing possible.

• 4 • SCHOOL DAYS "School days. School days. Good of golden rule days!"

Here they come again, and wise parents are getting ready right now while they still have some time.

There is lots to do — buy clothes, fit shoes — and if your child is entering the first grade, chances are you need a birth certificate copy.

School districts in Texas require that beginning students be six years old before September 1. Otherwise they must wait until the following year.

The best means of proving your child's age and birth date it to have a certified copy of his birth certificate.

In most areas of Texas, copies are available from local registrars of vital statistics in health departments or vounty court houses.

You may also obtain a birth certificate copy from the Division of Vital Statistics of the Texas State Department of Health in Austin.

To do so, you must send one dollar requesting a copy.

Be sure to include the child's name, date and place of birth and the parent's name.

It is important that parents take care of this chore as soon as possible.

During August and September the Division of Vital Statistics is swamped with literally thousands of requests for birth certificate copies each week. Each request is a "rush order."

It takes from 10 days to two weeks to process each request. If you want to be sure, your child has his birth certificate when school starts, request it now.

Rough estimates place the number of upcoming first graders at about 250,000.

That makes for a lot of birth certificates and it would be wise to check with sehocil officials regarding any vaccinations or health examinations that may be required.

Another smart idea that will pay off, is adjusting your child's seh e dule to approximate that of school bay routine, especially waking time.

Both mother and child will have an easier time when the rush of school days arriveif they have already "pracu

V2STNt K ---- WEST, MMUS school. Some of them will be leaving for college. It seems as if school has just ended and summer has just started but I guess it's always like that.

Our drilling nights are getting bigger and bigger. I sure wish some didn't have to go away to college but we can always see them when they come home on weekends. We all get together and dance to our heart's content at our wonderful dances. I am sure glad everyone is coming out on Tuesday nights. I'd like to invite the members of the other youth clubs to come out on Tuesday nights.

We have a wonderful time working out Tuesday night and always conclude with a few games of volley ball and the juke box. And all you fattys come out and lose a little, it really helps.

Sunday, the 9th, our youth club had a wonderful time at Burger's Lake. We made a day of it and boy did those delicious hot dogs taste good. Our chefs were Mr. and Mrs. Bill Renfro and Mr. and Mrs. Eric Koch.

Now I would like to congratulate our wonderful softball team. These were our all-stars, Jerry Milan, Reuben Jenkins, Bobby McMullin, Jack and Mack Stewart, George Tesar, Troy Pruitt, Stanley and Eddie Heomicek, Donnie Steinman, Stanley Krenek, Preston Porter, Johnny Pan,skar. ,na Paul Hubenak, Fred

I can hardly wait till next year for our games to start.. They were always exciting. Now boys stay in training for next year. Then we will really clear the titles.

Our lodge has had quite a few visitors from different places. They are Annette Banfi and her father Mr. Henry Banfi from Chicago, they are the sister and father of Mrs. Henrietta Milan and Mr. and Mrs. Emil Mamula, and their two sons from South Bend, Ind. Mrs. Mamula is the former Frances Milan. It's good to see them.

Congratulations Hattie Matus for winning Queen of Lodge 66. I know you made a beautiful queen. I sure wish I was there to witness your coronation.

Congratulations!
