Otto Hosek Dead Journal, the leading magazine . inFar,tri its field, has polled its 'readers to Individual Benetiar les find As the Vestnik goes to press, word has out just what kind of government (Continued)

Care must be used in the designation of children as policy beneficiaries so that they will be easily and clearly identified. As in the case of the wife, the full name and relationship should be used in the designation.

Where different policies are involved, a careful check should be made to be certain that the names used are identical in all instances. First, middle and last names should be complete, spelled correctly, and either preceded or followed by the relationship to the insured.

When a daughter or other female beneficiary marries, the insured should, notify the insurance company of her correct married name.

Stepchildren and informally adopted children particularly should be designated by name and relationship so that the insurance company may know their status, and so that the insured's in tention to provide for them is clear.

If the children are minors, legal advice should, be sought as to the problems that might arise in the particular juris diction should the proceeds become payable to them before their majority.

Company practice usually dictates the procedure for case where minors are, to be named beneficiaries. In each case careful investigation should be made to assure fulfillment of the insured's intentions.

Class designation of children --A class is defined as a group of individuals ranked together and possessing common characteristics or having the same status.

The use of a, class designation as beneficiary in connection with children may give rise to serious problems of construction and interpretation, and is ordinarily to be avoided if possible.

Although the courts have repeatedly sustained the validity •of class designation of beneficiaries, it has also been

farm plan they really want.

The results will come as a big surprise to those who think farmers as a whole want more and more government aid, controls and supports, Here's how the vote adds up: 55 per cent want total abandonment of supports and controls and a return to the free market; 15 per cent favor supports on an emergency basis only; 8 per cent want adjustment supports which would permit a gradual return to normal markets over a period of time. In slim, therefore, 79 , per cent favor plans calling either for no support or for less support.

By contrast, only 14 per cent say they, want high price supports of 90 per cent to 100 per cent of parity, and only 8 per cent favor the production payment plan.

The percentages were pretty much the same in all section of the country Among the different commodities, farmers specializing in poultry, beef, or fruit and vegetables are the most inclined to get rid of supports. Wheat and grain producers are least disposed to do this — but even so, close to half of them, consider it the thing to do.

Farm Journal has done the country a real service — and the hope is that the lesson learned will find its reflection in necessary in most of such instances to determine the identity of the persons comprising the class. If the class is not clearly circumsrcibed, there may be considerable difficulty in determining who are entitled to receive the proceeds of the policy. Even where the 'class is clearly circumscribed, the company may encounter difficulties, after the policy matures, in locating and determining the persons who comprise the class. Consequently, company practice may limit the extent to which children may be designated beneficiaries as a class.

just been received that Brother Otto Hosek, your Editor's eldest son, was found dead in a farmer's pasture near Mesquite, Texas, having fallen on his gun apparently due to another heart attack.

Otto, had just gotten over a bad heart attack recently, having just gone back to work after recuperating for more than six months.

While this could have been a happy occasion in the Chapter in the Dedication of Dallas Sokol-Lodge Jaro's new home, where his brother, Walter, was honored for his great work in this monumental building work, for the Hosek family, Otto's death has saddened the ending, for the Great Hunter, who wrote all of the Vestnik's hunting articles is gone and the great battle which seemed won over his heart attack finally won out in Mother Nature with his beloved gun in his hand.

His precious wife, Bessie, who was a bulwark of strength for him during his serious illness, remains alone, for there were no children in the marriage.

She was "His Angel" which he called her many, many times without whom. he vowed he could not live.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes to Bessie, brother Walter, nephew Don, sister-inlaw Irene, to his aged mother, Mrs. Hattie Hosek, to his two step-brothers who loved him, Louis and Jerry, not to mention the Editor.

Are Y©u Fed Up? Every once in a while, in all sincerity, some courageous heart finds the opportunity to tell the Editor what he should' or shouldn't say in the Vestnik's pages.

On two occasions recently, two different souls, though they might have gotten the information from 'the same original source, faced the Editor to tell him that he should stop telling the membership that they should attend their monthly lodge meetings, that it was their duty -- that it was in the ByLaws, etc. — that the members were fed up with it.

While the Editor appreciates constructive criticism, the Editor of this fraternal paper in his zeal to perpetuate fraternalism in all of its aspects, wonders — if he shouldn't encourage the membership to attend its monthly lodge meetings, as stated in our fraternal charter, to enjoy less taxes which all fraternals now are allotted them, keep its operation in the hands of its elected Membership, etc. — just what should he write about?

Like the minister, pastor, priest of a church, who is striving not only to save souls to God, but to perpetuate the membership count in his church, bids and encourages members to attend services every Sunday and not only on special holidays, the Editor deemed it his duty to point out these duties as fraternalists, to encourage to the best of his ability the membership to return to the basic brotherly love upon which our Order was founded, to bring back the "socials" and other cultural aspects of life with them, etc.

While the Editor, like the Man of the Cloth can point out our failings, it does not necessarily mean that everyone will heed them. That, dear membership, is still up to the individual to decide for himself just how high on the spiritual ladder he wishes to climb and associate.

It's like one instance, one brother recently let it be known that this brotherly stuff was all "bunk". Now, for a man in his high position, it was amazing and a little dissapointing that he could utter such a statement. I was disappointing that our younger generation of adults should have so little value for this society that his very fore fathers founded,. However, at a recent Convention, it was the Editor's pleasure to witness this same young man expound brotherhood when he was trying to sway the delegation to his way of thinking.

Brotherhood, whether in a fraternal order, church or just to the man in the

vt tairritic

WEST, TEXAS

block is still brotherhood, where soul of man is seeking communion with that soul of another human being, so the Editor came to the conclusion that this young man really didn't mean what he had said about brotherhood being "bunk" -- for when he listened to his inner self, he was just as brotherly as the next guy.

God gave each of us the right to decide for ourselves whether or not we wish to be saints or sinners, brothers or strangers, and it is not the Editor's desire or place to tell anyone what he must do — his is only to encourage and point out , to him who is willing to listen, for the betterment of this Order and that is all your Editor wanted to do in the first place.

Thanks for reading this! Will you please tell some brother about it.

top For School Ruses Thousands of school children are now trooping back to school throughout Texas. Most of them will be transported by school buses. Most people, are careful when approaching a school bus which may be standing beside the road or school to pickup school children or allow them to alight. However, we have already had some very bad accidents this year because a child or a motorist, or both, were careless at that very titre.

Most Texans are aware of the law which requires a driver to come to a coMplet stop when overtaking from the rear a school bus which has stopped to receive or clischaige school children.

After stopping immediately behind the bus, he is then allowed by law to proceed past same at a speed "which is prudent, not exceeding ten (10) miles per hour, and with due caution for the safety of such children."

What many persons do not realize is that the very same rule applies when MEETING a stopped school bus. While everyone is interested in protecting our children, unthinking violators of this simple safety rule greatly outnumber those who comply. Failure to follow the law in this case can lead to fines up to $200 even when no accident occurs.

Following an accident in which some child is injured or killed, the penalties are naturally much more serious.

Although the above rule does not always apply when passing a stopped school bus in a business or residential district of a town, the necessity for extreme caution in those locations is obvious.

Strana 13

When it comes to overtaking and passing moving vehicles, exercise of ordinary common sense will generally keep a driver within the law. For- instance, when passing a car it is only common sense to proceed on past it a safe distance before cutting back to the right side of the highway. Also, any driver would realize the danger of increasing his speed while another is attempting to pass him.

In the same category is the prohibition against passing on the right under most ordinary conditions. Of course, you may legally pass on the right in a few speciffic instances, such as when the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn, or upon a one-way street with two or more lanes, or upon a four-lane highway.

However, our traffic laws state that even when passing on the right is allowed, it shall be done only under conditions permitting such movement in safety. And, in no event should such passing be accomplished by drivin g off the pavement or main-traveled portion of the roadway.

Fimiliar to all are the no passing zones designated by dash lines placed to one side of the center stripe on our highways. Not so well known are the restrictions against crossing the center line when approaching within 100 feet of or when traversing any intersection or railroad grade crossing.

A driver should never cross the cen ter line of a highway when the left side of the road is not clearly visible and free of oncoming traffic. Generaln/ speaking, when not engaged in nassin-, another vehicle, one should not .drive to the left of the roadway.

Social Security What documents are needed when a perSen applies for social security benefits? This question is frequently asked of'. the Social Security Administration.

When a person files an application for retirement or family insurance, seine records must be furnished to establish his rights to the payments.

The proofs most often needed are proof of age, proof of marriage, and evidence of the amount of earnings in the preceding year.

Most people have an old record on which their date of birth or age was recorded many years ago, such as a baptismal certificate, school record, government record, family Bible, insurance policy, poll tax receipt, etc.

Census records are sometimes available.

A recently established delayed birth certificate is not sufficient proof of age for this purpose. A widow of a, deceased! worker who applies for monthly benefits is required to furnish proof of marriage. The marriage certificate or certi lied copy of it may be obtained. from the county clerk of the county where the marriage license was obtained.

Evidence of the amount of earnings in the preceding year will speed the paymnt of a claim. In the case of an employee this would be the statement of wages and taxes (Form W-2) which he received from his employer. A, self-employed person should furnish a copy of his last income tax return and evidence of payment such as a cancelled check or money order receipt.

Anyone desiring information about social security insurance may write, visit of telephone the Social Security Administration office nearest them • 4 •

Grand Opening of Lodge Jaro and Sokol Zizka Dallas A two-day gala opening of the new $150,000 home of the SPJST Lodge No. 130 and Sokol Zizka in Dallas, Texas, was held on Saturday and Sunday, Sept.

12-13 at its new address at 7446 Greenville Avenue, in Dallas.

Members, friends and well wishers, scattered all over America, converged upon this new lodge Hall to celebrate the culmination of a dream nurtured in the hearts of its membership for large and better quarters. They came all the way from California and points between and from all sections of our huge Texas map.

harmony — were the young women of these two organizations. Each of these beautiful women had put in their stint (man hours as is tabulated in the working world) in the menial tasks, decorating, etc., tasks of getting the place in order as well as serving of guests, greeting of guests as they wandered about the magnificant home. In the vernacular, they were "bone tired," but proud and very happy at the ultimate results of their hard work of many weeks and months and dreams of years. Each acknowledged the well wishes of the guests but emphasized that it was the work of them all in "team-work."

The gymnastic exhibitions of the various Sokol Clubs of Texas on the big green lawn, behind the new home to the east, Sunday afternoon was a beautiful example of their motto: A healthy body — a healthy mind'. Guests stars from the Dallas Athletic Club contributed some very wonderful tumbling acts by their championship, tumblers and their runner-ups as well as some astonishing feats on the trampoline. Specially honnored on this occasion was our son Viada Hosek to whom we offer ou most sincere congratulations.

The building's three level patio behind the building overlookeing the grassy drill field under the huge pecan trees, served as a grandstand for the spectators, who seated comfortably in folding chairs, gave their enthusiastic approval of the specialty numbers by various Sokol organizations, the rythmic drills, Among the guest speakers, were our as well as work on the various apparaSupreme Lodge President, Brother Ed tus. ward Marek, who made a very touching A dance again Sunday night by Gus and appropriate address; Brother Chas.

Get-together immediately after the conclusion of your business meeting.

There will be sandwiches and other good, food available for those who stay for our Fun Night and the games. The game will start promptly at 7:00 p.m., this is to enable everyone to be able to leave by 8:30, this is especially for those that have school children, so that they can be tucked into bed early enough without effecting their sleeping schedule.

We, as your Entertainment Committee, urge and earnestly solicit your cooperation in attending the meetings or at least come out around 6:00 p.m. and attend the Family Fun night and the games. Without your cooperation and attendance, these activities cannot be a total success and be both entertaining as well as beneficial to your lodge.

The Youth Club and their parents, the softball team members and their wives. as well as all the members young and old of our Mother Lodge No. 84 must all cooperate together on all functions to enable us to grow and continue to make improvements in our lodge. Many improvements can and need to be done around the lodge hall, such as a new side walk in front of our lodge building, paint and touch up the front and entrance of the lodge hall, put up some curtains or drapes and cover up the windows in the interior of the building, improvements can be made in our kitchen, an additional 15-ton air-conditioner unit needs to be installed before next summer. These are only a few items that can and should be taken care of on the near future and , we feel sure there are other improvements and suggestions that you can all make if you the members, will only attend your meetings and express your views and volunteer your services and see to it that these improvements are made. It is only through the combined and united efforts as fraternalists and concencious lodge members that your fraternal orders, the most wonderful democratic organization of any organization in this country, can be preserved, and the principles for which they were originally formed by its founders, can be practiced and exemplified.

We will have our regular dance on Saturday night Sept. 19th and the new and very popular Wesley (Gus) Bernn band has been engaged to play your favorite polkas, waltzes and some popular music. We invite you and all your friends to attend this dance. Do make plans to attend your monthly Business Meeting Sunday Sept. 20 and the Family Fun night afterwards. Can't you postpone what you may have planned to do

Precious Helen is an ardent lodge worker and beloved by all of her fellow workers, membership as well as, her Youth Leader, Sister Libbie Parma.

Helen writes to the Youth Column of the Vestnik regularly and sometimes signs herself as "Linden Sprout", carrying her lodge name Linden Hall at Elm Mott.

This is the only way a lodge can be assured of its future leadership in bringing these young •girls into the lodge work under a Youth, Leader. Elm Mott is fortunate, indeed, to have this lovely little girl in its midst, to watch her unfold from a bud into beautiful womanhood. ` Her personality is ne plus ultra. We love you Helen!

Important Notice The problem has come up recently, and it may come up in other cities where there are two or more SPJST Lodges; that of our Youth Clubs in both lodges work together a little more closely so that their activities do not interfere with each other, so they can visit and support each other's projects.

The Lodge 92 Youth Club goes on record that it will work with Lodge 154 Youth Club in this respect.

Let's all be friendly and work closely together to our mutual benefit as we all belong to this great fraternity of ours.

Strana 26 LODGE POKROK DALLAS NO. 84 Dear Members and Friends, Now that the Anniversary Celebration of Lodge No. 84 is history, one can look back with pleasure at the well planned activities of that weekend and it would seem only fitting that an expression of gratitude be given to all who, in any way, were responsible for making this celebration a success. So in behalf of Lodge No. 84, thanks goes to: the ladies who served and worked in the kitchen; the men who charcoal broiled the chicken (in such terrific heat) to make the dinner delicious; the helpers at the fair and admission booth; the ladies at the sale booth; the teen-agers for selling raffle tickets; the helpers at the "fish pond"; those who brought food for the kitchen on contributed an item for the sale booth, the guest speakers; ters Bessie Petr and Carlyn Ondrusek d the youth of our lodge for present ing such a fine and very touching pro cram; and last but not least, to all of you, our guests, without whom this celebration could not have been a success.

One part of the program which, we feel, will always be remembered was the presentation of the flag of Czechoslovakia by our teen-agers: They hummed til e Czech National Anthem as the flag a a-, accepted by Brother Sid Pokladnik on la half of our lodge. It brought back happ y memories to many end cc used one to shed a tear or two. The teenagers are to be complimented that they remember and are proud of their ancestry.

DALLAS, TEXAS SAFETY ON YOUR HUNTING TRIP The most widely anticipated season of the year for many sportsmen has arrived — Sept. 1 marked the opening of the hunting season.

Before it ends in mid-January, an estimated 400,000 hopeful hunters — including young and old of both sexes, skilled and 'unskilled — will have taken to fields in eager expectation.

At the present time the mourning dove is the target of a thousand guns by virtue of a 50-day north zone season which began Sept. - The south zone season opens Oct. 1.

Duck season runs from November 13 to January 1. For deer and turkey it begins November 16 and lasts until December 31, with date variations depending on county law. Quail shooting becomes legal December 1 until January 16.

It is a satisfying time, with man in quite communion with a bountiful nature. But all too often •an ominous note creeps into the happy symphony.

Thirty-seven hunting enthusiasts rangeing in age from 12 to 65 won't be going out this year. And for the very best of reasons: They are dead — killed by their own hand or by ethers during last year's season.

Four hunters killed themselves while attempting to clean or repair loaded guns Six others virtually committed suicide by crawling through fences with gun in hand .

In other deaths the viethys were mistaken for game, or made errors in judgement while unloading guns, or stalking

Strana 27 game or otherwise mishandled weapons.

A 12-year-old lad, a novice deer hunter, was killed instantly when his doting father — carrying a "ready" rifle — tripped over a log and accidentally discharged the weapon.

And in another incident the situation was almost exactly reversed. A boy tripped on a wooden trail. His father was felled with a bullet in i his back.

Be smart this year and follow these basic rules for gun safety: Never mix fire water with fire power arid never point a gun at anything you don't intend to shoot. Remember that only a knucklehead would pull a gun throught a fence. The safe way is to unload and put the gun over first.

Keep the safety catch ON until you are ready to shoot, and be positive you actually see what you're shooting at.

Remember, too, that guns are death traps for curious nildren. Unload yours before you gst home.

Law enforcement duties in the west , Texas area have picked up considerably since the first of September, according to the director of low enforcement of the Texas Game and Fish Commission.

Within a week's time, 42 cases were made against hunters in the West Texas area, who killed cerlew, plover, and quail out of season. The shooting of cerlew and plover is a federal offense as well as a state offense.

Although there seems to be a bountiful supply of doves throughout the state shooting in some areas has been somewhat erratic. Weather changes started the bird movement and wardens of some counties report slow hunting. Water hole shooting has been slowed in many areas because of rains. On. the other hand, a bountiful grain crop has provided so much food in other areas that doves are not inclined to leave.

The director warned against hunters killing more than their limit of 10 doves and against violation of shooting hours.

Around The Corner Around the corner, I have a friend In this great city, that has no end Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, and 'ere I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend's face, For life is a swift and terrible race.

He knows I like him lust as well, As in the clays when I rank his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger, Then, and now we are busy tired men.

Tired with playing the foolish game, Tired with trying to moke a name.

"Tomorrow," I say, I'll call on Jim Just to show I'm still thinking of him.

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance -between us grows and grows.

Around the corner! Yet miles away.

Here's a telegram sir, Jim died today.

And that is what we get and reserve in the end, Around the corner ----- a vanished Friend.

IF you owned the goose that laid the golden eggs, which would you insure first .. .

THE GOOSE or

THE EGGS?

Is it possible that in your insurance planning you've insured the eggs but not the goose?

You've insured all' the things that past income has bought; but how well have you insured the goose that produced those golden eggs—your income?

You should discuss this problem with some of our Organizers or write direct to our SUPREME LODGE, S. P. J. S. T. TEMPLE, TEXAS BOX 400
