Cteni bratiThPo uvaZeni nespravedlivkch umrtnich poplatkil Clenü ye tride A a B kteri dosahli elenstvi v Jednote 50 roku jsem se rozhodl podati navrh na opravu stanoy a sice ela.nku 51 kterY zn.i jak nasleduje:— KaZdY rok po oznameni solvence Jednoty, urei Hlavni itradovna jaka sleva ye forme prominuti poplatku mute bYti poskytnuta vgem elentun na certifikaty ye tride A a B. ktere jsou v platnosti 35 rokti a vice a kteri Clenove dosahli stall 70 let.

Mfij dodatek k tomu elanku jest — A eleni, kteki dosahli elenstvi v Jednote 50 rokti v techto triclach, budi'ti jim jejich dalgi firtirtni poplatky prominuty.

Za dilvod k tomu podavam toto: — Kdyti lide pled 50 roky plistupovali do Jednoty oni nemeli vyber v pojistkach jake maji nyni. Oni si mohli vybrati jen doZivotni pojistky na $1,000, 500 aneb 250 dolard. Pozdeji zavedene pojistky jake mame nyni jsou 10, 15, 20 let& ktere jak ta doba plejde eleni prestavaji platit Umrtni poplatky. Dal gi pojistky jsou do 60 a 65 rokii stab oni jak toho staii dojdou tee prestavaji platit funrtni poplatky. Kdato elenove ye tridach A. a B. musi ty poplatky platit do sve smrti aneb do 96 let sveho stall jestli se toho dotiiji.

Na zhora zrninene pojistky ku pkikladu 20 letou elen zaplati za 20 rokft Jednote asi $400 a ma, vyplacen certifikat na, tisic dolarti. Av gak eleny kteli byli v Jednote 50 rokti oni spoedtku museli platit do zalotiniho fondu $1.00 na tisic dol. pojigteni 50 centfi na 500 a 25c, na

Jednota tie nemusela vyplatit pojistku elenfi po 50 van, ona ji zuroeovala kdyby jen po 3% ona mela plijem z kaZdeho elena, $30 z tisice $15. z pet set a $7.50 ze $250, za katidy rok. To nasvedeuje, tie Jednota, mela nejvet gi plijem z tech starch elenfi.

Vim, Ze jsou ned fl kteki eleni ochotni platit sve poplatky do sve smrti aneb do tech 96 let sveho stall, ale je jich jiste vice, kteriy to s yclekem ptijali kdyby, sjezd ty poplatky zru gil.

At that tirre Brother J. H. Syptak said that they had had only a sprinkle or two that he could tell us more around noon; that a big cloud was forming and the next hour would tell us the story.

Your Editor took a chance and headed for Snook. Heavy rain followed him to r, Caldwell, where upon inquiring was told in that the rain had not left since Brother Syptak last talked to us, that the roads were not very good around Snook Hall, since it was on heavy black land, and that the rain and rising waters in the lowlands, would ruin the attendance at the meeting.

Lodge 66 Hosts DistriCt III At Fall Meeting Brother Ed. Mazanec, President of Lodge 66, Slovanska Lipa, called the District Meeting to order at 11:25 to welcome everyone present and wish the District a successful metting at Linden Hall.

Two local Boy Scouts, also SPJST meMbers, then brought in our National and State Flags, to lead us in the Pledge to the Flag and singing "Amer= ica."

District II Brother Sid Pokladnik then took over the gavel to request One Minute standing prayer in memory of those in the membership who have passed away since our last District Meeting. He then introduced those officers present from the Supreme Ledge, Brothers: Koliha, Urbanovsky, Kacir, and his fine lawyer son, and all of their ladies present.

The newly elected District III officers took a bow, this being their first meeting in their new offices, the past District III officers were recognized and thanked for their splendid work on behalf of the District.

District Directors to the Supreme Lodge present were Brother Robert Cervenka of District III. and our beloved District V Director Breother J. F. Skrabanek with his beloved Missus. Brother Arnold Vrla District III organizer followed, with Brother and. Sister Rudy Shefcik, from District V, next. Sister Maxine Shefcik is one of District V's Youth Leaders.

Then District III Youth Leaders, Sis-. ter Emma Ceska and her wonderful assistant, Sister Bessie Petr, took a bow to the ovation of the Teen-agers present.

Then Brother Pokladnik said: "Teenagers stand up!" What a nice bunch of young people from Lodges Linden Hall 66, Fort Worth 92, and 154; Pokrok Dallas 84, Cottonwood 6 and Ennis 25, and Lodges 135 and 82. If some lodge Teenagers were overlooked, please forgive us.

Each new District officer gave a short talk, followed by the District III 'Queen from Lodge Cottonwood 6, Jeanie Hubik, Linden Hall's lovely 'Queen, Hattie Mattis bothi afore mentioned queens were without their escorts, who were away at school, and then the newly elected King and Queen of Lodge 84, who had been crowned the night before at a sumptious affair at Lodge 84, were introduced to the assembled brotherhood.

Lovely Jerry Ann Urban, in a red brocade dress with the diadem of rhinestones add{ popular James Janousek, with his silver scepter in hand came up to the microphone.

Brother Pokladnik explained with enthusiasm, what these 'Queen Contests have been doing for our brotherhood.

"Folks, it nas been the Queen contests that we have been having, which are Springing up all over the state of Texas, we had a wonderful time in Corpus Christi, they had a very nice party. Now let's get back to Sister Hubik, our Queen of District III and Lodge Cottonwood 6; to prove to the members that it does not have to be a large lodge. In our Districts we have 21 lodges and much larger lodges than Lodge 6, where they carried the trophy home She was the Queen and she had earned it, because the peOple of Lodge 6 stood behind her, working for her and her organizers.

Let's give them a big hand. 'Queen Hubik we are especially proud of you, because I think this District is the one that really fought for it first.

"It really started in a conversation" continued Brother Pokladnik, "several years ago back when District V and District III were on the rampage, that is, a friendly rampage, because we certainly have acquired a wonderful friendship. People that we would' never have been able to know, we now know. We have tied the Supreme Lodge Officers, sisters and brother of all the lodges together, we know each other. Because these things have happened, we call our selves brothers and sisters and are trying to be good fraternalists.

Last night in Dallas( speaking of the Coronation at 84) before I present; I am especially proud of theTeen-agers, they are really wonderful and I want to tell you that it was one of the most bautiful things; and I wish each and everyone of you could have been there to see. But the teen-agers worked hard along with their five princesses and their escorts, andl out of the five, there could be only one queen and what a Queen.

Sisters and brothers, what we saw yesterday at Lodge 81, I know would not be beheveable to everyone, for I have to tell you this, that the five Princesses brought in a total of $4,500.60. Brother Joe B. Hejny, Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge is happy about the fact that we brought in 83 members, and $190,000.00 of new insurance. It only goes to show that if there is just a little confidence in our younger generation, that the SPJST has it made. And Ill say this in our last year's Queen COntest, all of the insurance that was sold, only one

Strum 13

member was lost to us from that Queen's contest deal — for he moved away.

I think that it is a very good percentage, and now I would like to present to you the King and Queen of Lodge 84!

Lovely Queen Jerry Ann Urban steped to the micropone and said, "Thanks a lot. I think this is the greatest thrill any girl can ever receive, that of being crowned Queen of Lodge 84. It is an honor and one that I shall treasure and it shall be in my heart for many years of my life. There was a great spirit of sisterhood among the girls and the experience we had in learning, we will never forget. Nor will we ever forget the help and support of our fellow SPJST members and workers. Thank You very much from the bottom of our hearts, God bless you, everyone." (So, this lovely young lady expresesd what was so close to her heart, the love sportsmanship and fellowship she got to know in her competition for her croWn'.

Handsome King James Janousek, then took the microphone. "There isn't very much more I can say to that only that I believe she summed it up very nicely, but I would like to say that the honor bestowed on me last night made me Very happy. Also, I hope that every lodge in the SPJST will have a 'Queen's contest and elect a 'Queen from every lodge.

Thank you."

At the conclusion of Brother Janousek's speech, speaking to the delegation present, 'Brother Pokladnik said: "This is something for you to think about back in your own immediate lodge, and just think what a wonderful gathering we can have if we will get together."

"The Princesses and their escorts, only by themselves, accumulated the amount of money and sold the insurance. The organizers of the Lodge could hot sell a policy and give it to a Princess. They had to find the prospect first, then take them to the organizer. I want you to understand this in your mind, ill fact we had one policy for $8,000.00 that would not sell because the Princess did hot bring the policy-prospect to the organizer. That is how the insurance ∎ro-s sold and that's how the cash was brought in; it was certainly done by the five princesses and their escorts, solely.

Thank you!

BrOther Alvin Nesuda, was asked' 'to read the Financial report, explainin g the bills presented and which were approved by all.

In the interim, President of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Edward L. March and his lovely wife, came in and he was recognized and called to the speakers stand.

"I am happy to be with you this

Strana 14 afternoon," said Brother Marek," and' thank you for your hospitality and friendship here today. (syncronizes his watch with that of Brother Pokladnik, who informed all speakers that they would be allowed only three minutes — laughter).

I've spoken one minute, that leaves 'owo, jokingly continued Brother IVIarek. I will say at this moment, that it is always a pleasure for we, the officers of the Supreme Lodge, to come to the District Meetings or come to the meetings of the respective Lodges. First let me tell you something of our Fraternal work. This fraternal work of ours you might say is based on the theme "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself", and so it is the work of our neighbor that makes so, for instance, that we are hereby'necessary. My mind goes back to the edifice that we built and dedicated abbut two weeks ago in Dallas. It was the that our combination of ideas that brings forth the judicial fruit of mankind and that of fraternal brotherhood and sisterhood. I would say this, that it was the combined effort of all of you of Lodge 66 to complete this building.

For us to come and enjoy the fruits of your work, which was built by hand, and probably the greatest gift of God to mankind is to indulge in the possibility of His creating the images of his mind.

We gather once more for the welfare of eur people, we gather to insure a better future of our young future generation, and it is that, that keeps us going. And for our Order may I say this: that we are in our Order at this time, featuring the work of our Youth. I've made these statements before and make them again, that if we combine the energy, the foresight, the society of the yOuth, with the spirit of the old, we can truthfully build for tomorrow. We can truthfully build for the future generation, because lodges of this kind are not built for today, they are built for tomorrow. There is not just today, there will be a tomorrow, for those who come after us. It's for that pride, that glory, that satisfaction that we gather at all of these meetings. The Freedom that we now enjoy was given us by our forefathers, some of which took all they had, for it did not come easy, it was paid for, they cherished that freedom, they gave it to us that we should do everything in our power to preserve it. Realember, all of us who are gathered here this afternoon, this nation will be no stronger than what we make it. We have now, at this present time springing into the forefront the possibilities of 'our Youth. We feel that within our own Order we, the older generation of adults, have a responsi-

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS bility in order to twain our youth, not only to be good leaders in our Order, but that they will be good leaders in our nation. For in every Order within the United States and the Dominion of Canada, may I say this, was stressed the importance of Youth training, that the future of our nation will not be imperiled. I want, to say one more thing, this is intended for the adults who may be gathered here this afternoon that when we come together, let us plan for our selves every day of our lives to gain that which is good for us, that which is good for those next to us, for the officers, our friends and those who are to become our posterity, let us plan for ourselves in the evening of our lives, that we have all these things come to pass before us, for the future generations to come.

Again I want to say that we of the Supreme Lodge are always glad to be with you and I am sure that our brother Vice-President will bring to you in his speech news regaiting the new insurance this year, especially this last month. Before writing in the neighborhood of one-half million dollars worth of insurance for every month, it means that there is a growing power all over the state. I read the statistics of some of other big orders in other states, and they haven't •done any better. This is the work of all of you, the organizers, the District Organizers, especially to you brother Hejny, your leaders, our paper, Supreme Lodge officers. The work is growing which began with our Youth, Youth Activities, the crowning of Queens, it is the thing that is bringing them out, and I do hope that in the future, we can even do better. Again thanking you for the privilege of being here, this afternoon, I will say, God bless you, God be with you, until we meet again!

Brother Pokladnik said: "I especially liked the words you said 'let the young generation go ahead with the guidance of the older members of the SPJST. We appreciate those words because that is what helps, all the functions, the speeches, the whole plan we have. And now let us hear from the VP of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Joe Hejny.

Brother Hejny: It is indeed a plasasure to be here with you today and. I understand that we have only three minutes (Pokladnik — its already cut off) but I think that I'm going to Brother Marek's watch, I'll go by his time, I know that he was supposed to have three minutes and I think he took full advantage of it and I think that he told us a lot in those three minutes. I think I would like to do so myself.

I want to again thank Brother Marek

a

Wednesday, October 'l, 1959 for the kind words that he said in regard to our Youth, I appreciate these words coming from the home office and I know that I can say in behalf of the Supreme Lodge, all the officers, all the directors, that they are a nice and useful bunch of the SPJST. I would like to fill in, especially District No. III and District V, for having foresight in putting or helping to pros:tote our Youth program which they have done. The original idea I can say, came from the two districts, and we are very proud of them, and I think that we should be very thankful to them for opening the eyes of the rest of us. It has been proven time and again, that it takes the Youth and as Brother Pokladnik said, with the with the supervision of the older members, to actually promote any function that makes it a great success. We know that, it has been proven. We witnessed that in Corpus Christi last Sunday, we witnesed that in Dallas, last night; we had that here in Elm Mott some few weeks ago. Three weeks ago, they held that in Houston, and it will have one there the first of November. Next Sunday we are going to Snook, to witness the crowning of the Queen there in District I, and on the 11th of October, we will have one at Seaton which is near Temple, in District II, and the result of the membership drive that we are obtaining through these contests is just surprising. I want to tell you, brothers and sisters, right here, that you are making history for the SPJST. .I think it goes on record, that this tisonth alone, we issued $424,000 of insurance to 291 members in one month alone. Anil Brothers and Sisters, you are the people, you are the ones that are doing this, helping write this insurance. Without you, our organizers or myself could not have accomplished this achievement. It takes each and everyone of you. That is what I said when I first came up 'here, to know that we have the support of all you members here and that we also have the support and backing of the Supreme Lodge SPJST and when we work as we are working right now we have to accomplish the greatest. I would like to announce that District I, District III and District -VII have already obtained, or reached their quota for 1959 as was set out the first of the year. That again reflects through our Youth Activity and our Queen's Contest. We know that and we are proud of it. I haven't the information to say which District reached the goal first because it all happened in the first half of September and it was almost impossible to determine which District was first in reaching their goal. One point that I would like to

Wednesday, October 7, 1959 bring to you people here today, but we know that we don't have time and it is impossible to go into detail and express exactly the feeling I have that to talk to you, it would take me two hours. So, I thank you for your kindness and May Sod Bless You All! Brother Pokladnik: Brothers and Sisters, I am sorry but Brother Hejny took 12 minutes. Supreme Lodge President took 14 minutes, so our time for the speakers is eliminated but just from the fact that we had such a large mumber from the Supreme Lodge itself, we still would like for the other officers to come and say a few words and Brother Koliha would you like to come up at this time.

Brother Koliha: Sisters and Brothers; There is one thing I want to bring up and that is: that it always takes somebody to break the ice. A quarter of a century ago. Linberg made the first flight over the Atlantic ocean. Therefore, others followed. Just as was stated here during the Queen's Contest, it was District V against District III, those two were the Lindbergs that brought about that which you have seen today. But we of District VII, may I state, that the District in the first 6 monts of this year subscribed for, obtained $160,000 worth of insurance. From the first of July,, to the 12 day of September in about six weeks time, $157,000 worth of insurance was sold.

And so, sisters and brothers, and and friends, don't tell me that those Queen Contests don't work, and I hope and certainly wish that when the next convention is held in San Antonio in 1960 that we will have a Queen of the SPJST Convention. And in conclusion, I want to say these words. There was and old owl who in his oak thee sat, the more he heard, the less he spoke; the less he spoke, the more he heard, why can't we all be like that bird? Na Zdar!

Brother Urbanovsky spoke next. It is indeed a pleasure to be here, having a wonderful time and most everything has been covered by what has already been said, but I don't mind. I was certainly astonished and pleasantly surprised to hear from Brother Pokladnik this morning when he said that al of the insurance written by these five princesses, was solicited by the youth, that none of it was done by the Organizers themselves. I'll tell you, that's really heartening. I don't want to take up any more time for I know that they have a wonderful Youth program and I hope to share and I hope that everybody will be courteous to these performers and listen to their program. I thank you.

Brother August Kacir spoke next: lie asked the assembly if they "realized

what has happened to Slovanska Lipa in the past 15 years. It was organized many years ago, was an active member of our SPJST. Somebody in Slova,nska Lipa knew where it was. Waco was then as now, the center of our state, of our members. It was there in the great Hall all kinds of people caine here, most of our people came to the Fair they knew where the lodge was, they knew all of the old members, lige Brother Mazanec said, 'when I was a kid Ivy father belonged to it, where right by his )!lack; of business.' The first time I came to Waco I came to his place of business.

At that time Brother Mazanec Sr., Bro. Bartos, Bro. Parma, Sr. and many others were very active. They kept the ledge busy. Then as old members grew older, some passed away, others retired, they became very inactive. As it was but a' short while ago that several officers of Lodge 66 came to the Supreme Lodge offering to surrender its charter, and asked that Slovanska Lipa be buried.

They were refused their request. They were told that new members, younger officers shall take charge of their affairs of the organization. At that '.,!me, they had no money, no building cr property. You tan 'see now, this wonderful building, the members erected for the community. Six' yearn ago, they probably had 30 or 40 members, today they have 300 members. That is the result of the younger members taking charge of the affairs of the Lodge.

Not only have they increased their membership, and put up a wonderful building, they have organized one of the best Organizations in Texas. I am, sure that each and everyone of you will credit this lodge as having, one of the best laad Youth groups in our state. T. only hope that many other lodges will follow Slcrvanska 1.4ipa in reactivating their lodges from their example. I thank you.

Director Bobert Cervenka followed Brother August Kacir. I want to congratulate the Youth Directors of our District, Sister Emilia, Ceska, and her assistant Sister Bessie Petr both good Youth' workers. Also, to Brother Arnold Vrla, who is always on his feet and ready to help his organizers whenever he possibly can. He is doing a good job and we are still ahead in the District in the greatest number of new membership and in the greatest amount of insurance written. Brother Skrabanek don't be afraid that, that big rabbit in District V is behind, he can still catch up! We are all most grateful to Bro. roe B. Hejny for his wonderful work and all of his helpers.. From January 1st through August 31, we wrote 10,008 raem-

bers and $1,450,000 insurance. It certain ly was worthwhile, Mr. Vice-President!, Now in conclusion, I also want to, thank Brother Hosek and his wile, Sister Hosek, for their cooperation they have given in the Vestnik, publishing. the Youth programs mid pictures of, these young people. I wil say that is. wonderful work! I hope each one of you enjoy yourself and have a lot of good times. I am sure — (the rest of the. speech was indistinct on the tape).

Thanks and good luck" concluded Bro.,, 'Cervenka.

Editor Louis 0. Hosek followed Bro. Cervenka: Friends, I am glad that I have the opportunity to be here today and I a enjoy hearing all of .thes good efforts that have been used by our good friends to bring us some few more steps, ahead. You know that I have been using my best knowledge to help this Youth Movement in our Vestnik. All that I ask is, that you give me the information' so that I can publish it for the good of our. Order. I thank all of you who are trying to help me, I appreciate your cooperation and I hope that we continue to work until our next Convention in perfect harmony. I want to congratulate all' of you, who have done the least bit of work to bring our movement one step forwa rd You know good and well that if we don't work together, nobody will work for us. We have to lay aside all of our raismy.terstanaings that we have had in the past and work together like brothers an_d sisters and that's th,e only way we will accomplish and gain in our estimation and in the estimation of our friends, who are still on the outside. I thank you and hope that we will all have a good time here, that we leave here encouraged and full of new pep to carry this work of ours on.

Thank you.

Brother Arnold Vrla said: I guess the best thing that I can say first of all is 'that the report our Vice President Bro. Joe B. Hejny gave, that District III was one among the three that made their quota for the year of 1959, so, you or- . ganizers, you youth leaders, you members, district officers here and everyone' connected with District III in any way,' state or form, that you have continued- , to the success of District III. I thank , you all for the support which made this posgible. Thank you. It's things like this that make my work and BrotherHejny's work a lot more enjoyable, to know that .J you are' not knocking your head and without results that we have everybody pitching in. The youth, mealbers all working hand in hand — you just can't loose. I held a little meeting just a little while ago -- instead of your or-

Strana 15 ganizers buying your dinner, I will buy them for you. Now, I would like to say something regarding the traveling trophies. You know, District V in the last couple of months have really spunked up They are after those trophies. Are we going to let them have them? asked Brother Vrla. (No, no, no, from the audience).

Brother Vrla then announced the names of organizers who have been entered in the $25.000 Club. As of August 31, Brothers Ben Jarma, John Krizan, Stanley Vrla, Emil Petr are entitled to pins.

Brother Rudolph Krizan is in the $50,000 Club, while Sister Anna Milan reachid the $100,000 Club. A round of applause swept the gathering at this announcement. "Actually;" said Brother Vrla, all previous topics have been pretty well covered by the speakers before me and I want to thank all of you for your most wonderful cooperation. Let's Go Forward! concluded Brother Vrla.

Brother Pokladnik introduced the two District III Youth Leaders. Sister Ceska steped to the microphone: "Good afternoon everybody! It certainly gives me a lot of pleasure to look over the crowd and see so many handsome boys and pretty girls. We are happy to see you here today, and looking around at the Royalty that make-, us reminesce that we have worked with and I am happy to announce that Sister Janie r Kubik, District III Queen is present. We also have in our midst the Lodge 66 Queen.

And of course we are very pra.ud to have Jerry Ann Urban and James Janousek who won their title last night in Dallas as King and Queen of Lodge 84. The District III Youth Activity Day in Dallas was certainly a success and bears repeating, A lot of our success, was gained in getting new members.

The talent was wonderful, we have great talent in District III. We had a lot of entries and yet there were little things that happened at our last Youth Activity Day, and one that I hope can be worked out, to handle the activities a little bit easier.

Then there was all the wonderful publicity that the Editor and his wife had done with displays of our presentations, of all the beautirul princesses and their escorts in our Vestnik. With the publishing of the rules and regulations of all the projects for everybody to go on, we had so much publicity to make things good and easy, but as you know in Dallas, that day we got there, we worked very hard, and there was quite a bit of fuss. And next year, when we have an affair like this, and we send out all of the entry blanks, we ask that they be

VCSTfilit—WEST,MAS returned to ONE DIRECTOR, it would sure help a lot if that incormation was completed and sent to the person in charge, because that would eliminate a lot of extra fuss that is made for us to handle all of the details to go through the putting on of the contest. No one knows the identity of any one entry, it is all done by code numbers, for that reason, we have to fallow through a lot of steps in carrying out every detail. So next year, if your Youth Leader or Director or if you have us for a contest again, let's all 'read the rules and regulations, submit your entries and get them in well in advance, because that is too much fuss for that day to be snowed under with a lot of work, and with everybody working hard, we can accomplish a lot more, Back to our Queen, it gives me a great deal of pleas ure to greet the lodges. Our. Lodge 66 here had a beautiful Princess Dance, and Lodge 84 just last night had their Princess Dance, and I read with a lot of interest in the Vestnik of all the lodges, or rather a lot of other lodges in the District coining through with a Contest, such as that. And there are a lot of worthy girls and escorts nominated, it is sad that only one from each lodge can be selected as a winner. They are all deserving and it would be good to crown five queens, but you can't. When a girl and her escort have worked hard, followed the rides of the Contest that have been announced by our local lodge, and has worked hard to earn the "points" honestly, this is something that she can be proud of. But equally important is, to learn to be a good, fair loser .We have had a lot of good losers and they are to be complimented because they have come a long way, even though they couldn't all earn first place. We wish they could, but they have all done a god job.

I know we were limited to five minutes and that I talked ten, I still didn't have a chance to say everything that I wanted to say. That is has been a pleasure working with all of the Youth Leaders all of the Youth, the officers of the District, and of course, my wonderful assistant, who is just the most wonderful co-worker, and at this time I will turn the microphone over to her and let her say a few words. Thank you!

Goodafternoon, began Sister Bessie Petr, there isn't much I want to add to what Sister Ceska said, except to say that there isn't a better partener to work with than she is. All of the credit goes to her. I would also want to say that I still haven't woke up since last night, after What happened at Lodge 84. I just pinch myself to see whether it is really

Wednesday, October 7, 1959 , true! — rwhat the Youth in our lodge have done. I certainly think that they deserve a lot of praise and I want to thank them, and I won't keep you any more because I know that there is important business ahead. Thank you.

Brother Pokladnik thanked both sisters saying: "They kleserve a lot or credit for what they are doing. Money couldn't pay for the time they put into producing and showing what the children are capagle of doing."

Chair invites Brother Skrabanek to say a few words to the gathering.

"I think it is needless for, me to tell you that I am, happy to be here, because I am sure that quite a number of you know that my wife and I have spent a good deal of our time in the last two or three weeks in District III, and we are always happy to come back to District III to visit with you. Speaking of Linden Hall, you know when we came over here this morning, I had not been over her except when you first, built the Hall, I didn't recognize the place.

I want to congratulate you Lodge 66, Slovanska Lipa, for doing such a splendid job here. Brother Cervenka said something about the "rabbit" and the "turtle", it tak District III several Contests to beat District V, but now I want to say that you are in the lead, you went over the top, that goes to show yOU what a turtle will do if Ihe keeps on going. I think District V will have to wake up a little bit, I think they have been to sure about themselves. Now Dis trict V will hold its meeting November 1 at Lodge 88 in• Houston, and I wish to extend to each and everyone of you a cordial invitation to gettogether on that date. Until then, "Ja cam volam vseckym Na Mar!" (This was the only Czech, spoken in the entire meeting.) Thank you, brother Skrabanek.

President Pokladnik: Sisters and brothers, I would like to encourage everybody, as Brother Skrabanek did, to set aside Nov. 1, that is the first Sunday, and be with them down in Houston for their crowning of the Queen, of Lodge 88, let's not forget that. The first Sunday in November, in Lodge 88, Houston.

Brother Rudy Shefcik is invited to speak by the Chair.

"I am speaking as just a member of District V and I certainly am glad to be here. I want to tell you right now, that sometimes we wonder what fraternalism is. I think Brother Marek covered it quite well, our Brother Officers from the Supreme Lodge take 12 to 14 Sundays a year to cover these District Meetings, what a far cry it is from six years ago or longer, when we used to hear some of our members say 'why

Wednesday, October 7, 1959 your little District Meeting will be nothing but talk and political rambling.' You heard those things and I have, but what a mar cry today. Our Supreme Lodge officers spend, like I say 12 to 14 Sundays a year coming to thes metings, but further than that, why is it that Brother Skraba,nek and I got up this morning with our wives and came to Elm Mott? Why did we go to Dallas two weeks ago, because we have some of the best friends that you could find there and it is friends that are going to make your life. Why did your own President of the District, whom you are so lucky to have, and this President of Lodge 84 in Dallas fly all the way to Corpus Christi last Sunday, and I think I can say honestly, Brother Sid is not playing politics, he just a plain fraternalists, right down to the core, am I Tight, Brother Sid? So, when we get right down to finding out what is fraternalism. I remember the time very clearly, when I came here the first time. This little building was little compared to what it is now, yet at that time it was big. When the two Mazanec brothers, Brother Simcik, Bro. Parma and a few of the others were active. It was those fellows, those brothers who are making us feel that we are doing some good, and not only that, and Idefinately, we needn't take the credit it is the sisters that Brother Pokladnik so very aptly placed on the shoulders -- those sisters who are bringing in the Youth, I heard Brother Koliha mention a while ago, that he is looking forward to the day, that one of these days we will have and maybe at the next Convention, a Miss SPJST in the State of Texas. I would like to tell you right now that one young man who deserves a lot of credit in our Order, he is Brother Joe B. Hejny, your Vice-President, who has done a remarkable job as your Youth Organizer, I think we should give hiim'a nice hand.

INVITATION TO DISTRICT II MEETING OCT. 11 Rogers, Tex. Dear Members: This is a last minute reminder and invitation for all of you to attend our SPJST District II Third Annual Achievement Day and Queen's Coronation Ball on this co Ding Sunday afternoon and night, October 11. District II is going allout for its youth this year and this is the second youth activity within two months -- the previous meeting being at Camp Tahuaya on August 30. Although the meeting is primarily for the benefit of the youth, there will be much going on at the meeting for both the young and old to enjoy.

District Youth Director Clara Hejl and District Organizer Ben Mikolaj were named to work with the host lodge in making all arrangements for this meeting; and Sister Hejl announced the

92STNi I— WEST, TEXAS rules and awards for the various talent and handicraft contests in the last issue of the Vestnik. I want to urge all of the young members of our district to read her article and enter as many of the events as possible because there will be over $150 available for distribution as prize money to the contest winners. In addition to the possibility of your winning substantial prize money, this will be a good opnortunity for you to display and gain experience in displaying your talent and handicraft abilities.

Needless to say, your performances and achievements will be a great source of enjoyment and pride for your parents and all those present.

All participants in the contest please note that you must be registered and have you exhibits on display by 2 p.m to be eligible.

Although there will be a business session starting at 2 p.m. it promises to be a very short one because there appears to be no business except the selection of a meeting place for the 1900 business meeting. Any lodges which will want to invite the district membership for that meeting, please have your invitations ready for presentation during the business session.

The talent contest will start at 2:30 p.m. and will be the program of entertainment for the afternoon. Winners in both the talent and handicraft contests will be announced and prizes will be awarded after the conclusion of the talent contest. The handicraft exhibits will then remain on display until everyone has had a chance to view them.

A sausage plate supper with all the trimmings will be served at 5 p.m. and will sell for only seventy-five cents per plate. I am sure that, as at all our SPJST meetings, this ttneal will be well worth the money and sausages should taste expecially good now that the weather has cooled off.

At 8 p.m. the Queen's Coronation Ceremony and Ball will begin. The winner of the Queen Contest will not be announced until the ceremonies are underway and this suspense would make the event all the more enjoyable. Music will be provided by Adela, and the Music Masters, and dancing will continue after the ceremonies have been concluded.

Twenty-five per cent of the net proceeds from the supper and dance will go into the District Youth Fund.

The above are the plans as Sister Hejl has outlined them to me. Some activities and events are still in the planning stage and I am sure that the committee and the host lodge will make this a meeting which We will all enjoy very much and will long remember.

Wednesday, October 7, 1959 So please make plans now to attend this meeting, bring your family and friends; and urge your children to enter as many as possible of the contests.

Everybody be prepared for a big time at Star Hall this coming Sunday afternoon and night.

Fraternally, Calvin C. Chervenka President District II -) • 4 • (

"Brother. Kleprlik made a motion that percentage of net proceeds of District 7 Meetings go to District 7 General Fund. Motion was seconded by Brother F. W. Veselka. Motion carried."

I am sure that this Will be understandable to all.

JERRY ANN URBAN

AND JAMES J. JANOUSEK CROWNED LODGE QUEEN AND KING 1959-60 Saturday, September 26, 1959 marked the Third Anniversary of our teenage club. rAs in the past years a Queer, eontest and Celbration Ball was held. This was a big success, our returns were greater than the two previous ones combined.

We had a royal theme with silver and red. To the left after en Bring Lodge No. 84, was a rk atitiful three lovel Fountain of You t h bedecked with a Silver Crown witn soft (due lights which made the apaearance .3i s; wiy flowing water. Aroural this fa ritain were ar-

All present marveled at the beauty of this fountain. We are really proud of this creation. A great deal of credit is due to Carole Nemec and all of her cornalaittee of decorators who were responsible for this beautiful fountain. On the left side down about the center of the dance floor was the Royal Throne.

A backdrop of red satin hung from the silvered glittered crown canopy. The platform was red carpeted and placed in the center was the Queen's chair, provided us by Brother and Sister Joe Kutil.

Credit is definitely due to our Leader, Sister Bessie Petr and Richard Sykora, our teenage president, for making the throne so beautiful and impressive. The orchestra was on the stage with a silver glittered crown and septer as a background. The ceiling was decorated, in red and silver crepe paper draping to the center from which hung a huge crystall ball which revolved, , casting shadows around the floor. Mary Ellen Pekar and her committee are due the credit for these decorations. Nodya Rejcek is due credit for the lettering Third Anniversary Dance in red above the table area. The whole teenage membership was very cooperative, as they always have been, in helping decorate for this big occassion. Early in August Mrs.. Petr and I, being entertainment chairman, went to the lodge hall and prepared a plan for all the decorations.

Chairman were then appointed to be responsible for the different sections of the hall. In the last week before the celebration all teenagers with the help of parents, came to the hall and warked on their individual assignments. This system worked out very successfully for us and we would like to suggest to any other decorating committee to, try it.

As a result there was very little work left for the teenagers to do on the Big Day. We do know that Mrs. Petr and her co-workers had to put the finishing touches on, that day. We are very thank ful to Brother Anton Janousek, father of our past Queen Juanita, for all the electrical work that is, seeing to it that the lighting effect was correct, etc. Also our many many thanks to all of the parents who were so good to help us, as well as the teenagers, for their hard work and time. Upon completing the decorating we all observed a job well done. We all agreed that it was all worth it from the compliments we heard that Big Night.

The dance was lead off by our past Queen Juanita Janousek and King James Mandak. Then all of the princesses and their escorts joined in dancing. Previous to the opening calls all

Brother Sid Pokladnik, president of our lodge No. 84, and Mrs. Petr selected Brother Joe B. Hejny, Vice-Phesident of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Arnold Vrla, Third District Organizer, Brother Ernest Ha,skovec,! Mr. Louis Zalkovsky and Mr. Frank Spaniel as the five judges to count the points.

Our Many, Many Thanks to you five for your help.

Our master of ceremonies was Kenneth Brown. The orchestra provided the background music, the selection being "Nikdy Se Nevrati Pohadka Mladi" (Tales of Our Youth,) which was very appi opriate for this occassion. Larry Petr and Ronnie Henzen rolled out the red carpet in front of the throne.

Queen Juanita Janousek wearing the Royal Crown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Janousek, dressed in a heavenly blue long formal gown with, a white orchid corsage pinned at her shoulder, and King James Mandak, son of Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Mandak in a silver coat tuxedo wearing a glittered white carnation boutinneere, led the corona,tion ceremonies. The train of the Queen's red satin cape trimmed in ermine fur was carried by little Georgi anne Rezik, niece of Jerry Ann Urban Teenage secretary, and little Jack Moffitt, nephew of Richard Sykora Teenage President. They were both very sweet, she in her formal and he in his suit. The Sheath Arm Bouquet of two dozen Red Delight Roses with silver

Susie was escorted by little John Mahdak, brother of the past king, James Mandak. They too were very sweet dressed in formal clothes. Then began the royal court of 1959.

Ann Hetmer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hetmer, dressed in a pale blue ballerina length formal, was escorted

by Edwin Trlica, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Trlica.

Karen Koncak, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Koncak, dressed in a pale blue strapless full length formal, was escorted by Jerry Houpy Jr,, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Houpy Sr. Carole Nemec, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Nernec, dressed in a white formal trimmed in black, was escorted

by Joe Ondrusek, son of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Ondrusek.

Nodya• Rejcek, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Rejcek, dressed in a mink colored full length formal, was escorted

by Richard Sykora, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Sykora.

Jerry Ann Urban, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Urban, dressed in awhite full length formal trimmed with sequenced lace, was escorted by James J. Janousek son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Ja.nousek.

All the princesses had white orchid corsages. The escorts all wore black tuxedos with white carnation butonniers.

(The princesses were named alphabetically according •to faiirdly name).

At this time Kenneth Brown turned the mike over to Brother Sid Pokladnik.

His first words were to welcome every one and added that the event was a big success. Together, he said these five princesses and their escorts brought in $4,727.25 There was an ere of amazement that went through the audience at this moment. Yes, our five princesses and their escorts brought in more money than any other SPJST teenage lodge has from a contest as far as I know (I could be wrong). To add to their arnament he added that the five couples sold $109,000.00 in insurance during the •seven weeks of the contest. All the soliciting for the new policies came from the work of the couples alone. The only assistance the organizers could give was to sign up a member after being contacted by either the princess or her escort. A total of 83 members had been securred as a result of this contest alone.

Last year $66,000.00 was sold and there has not been any cancellations and only one transfer. We are certain this year will be no different than i the past.

Here are the figures of the contest: At this time Jerry Ann and James asc-

VESTNi X WEST, TEXAS ended to the throne. Queen Juanita gave her crown to the new Queen, Jerry Ann. Queen Juanita and King Janaes had a successful reign and I know that we all are very proud of them and the wonderful way they represented our Lodge No. 84.

Each princess received a perfume tray with accessories and an electric hair dryer.

The Queen's maid of honor, Nodya Rejcek also received a sterling silver rhinestone studded heart and chain.

The Queen, Jerry Ann Urban in addition to the prizes given to each princeg s, a rhinestone jewelery set, an engraved trophy, and a suvenir crown.

Each of the escorts received a men's jewelry box (cuff link box) and a Travel clock..

The king's assistant, who is Richard Sykora also received in addition, a cuff link set.

King James Janousek received in addittion to the gifts given to the escorts the septer (which) will be presented to the next King); a pen and pencil set; and a gold engraved cuff link set reminding him of that momentous night.

Also our two past 'Queens, Juanita Janousek and Carole Nemec, were presented with trophies as souveniers of their Queenship.

All of the gifts were distributed by Cathey Adamcik and Richard Kopecky, and Mary Ellen Pekar and David Slovak.

The door prizes were given to the winners by our newly crowned Queen Jerry Ann Urban. The Winners were: Flower plant -- Mrs. Henry Sykora Electric Blanket — Mr. Bennie Mahdak.

Strana 23 remain in our minds for a long time.

It might even go down as something great in the SPJST History. Words can not express the most sincere thanks due to all who help in any way to make this dance the huge success that it was.

It took the part of every individual, for without each one none of this could have been possible. Please check in the Vestnik for pictures of our New King and Queen on their Throne and also a full page ad listing our donors. Once again our many, many thanks.

We wish to extend a very special thanks to our beloved editor and his charming wife for the cooperation given as throughout the year, as well as all the Dther Youth Clubs. The SPJST should certainly be proud of their Editor for the cooperation, dine and patience he gives not only our teenage club but others as well.

IN MEMORIAM Funeral services for Mrs. Josef E. (Rozina) Kubena, 89, year old resident of Dime Box were held in Dime Box Czech Moravian Brethren Church at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, September 12, with the Reverend Joseph A. Barton, and Rev. H. E. Beseda, officiating.

Mrs. Kubena passed away quietly and peacefully as she slept at the Lee Memorial Hospital, Giddings, Texas, on Sept. 10. Mrs. Kubena, enjoyed comparatively good health all of her life except for the last eight years and became almost completely bedridden, since last October. She was a Charter Member of Lodge 13 Dime Box and our SPJST. Born in Hovezi Na Vsetin, in Moravia, on March 1st 1870. She was three years old when she moved to America with her parents in the year of 1873. They first settled in Fayette County where they took up farming. In the year 1885, they moved to Lee County and it was there around Dime Box, Mrs. Kubena spent the remainder of her life. On Nov. 15, 1891, she was united in marriage with Josef Kubena. The wedding took place in New Tabor, Texas, because at that time there was no church building in Dime Box. The wedding was performed by the late Reverend Henry Juren.

Strana 25 The couple made their home in Lee County in and around Dime Box and in addition to farming they operated a cottongin for about 15 years. Ten children were born to this union, three having preceded their mother in death.

Mr. and Mrs. Kubena were married for over 67 years, having observed their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 1941.

Mrs. Kubena was a Charter Member of the Dime Box Czech Moravian Brethren Church and she was also a Charter Member of the SPJST. She was known for her love of hard work and took pride in her gardening and needlework.

All who knew her loved her.

Survivors included her husband, Josef E. Kubena, four daughters: Mrs. E. 0. (Tracy) Faust and Mrs. J. V. (Rose) Ondrasek of Caldwell; Mrs. Ernest G. (Lydia) Marburger and Miss Mary Kubena of Dime Box. Her three sons, August B. Kubena, and William R. Kubena of Dime Box and Joe Kubena of C'aldwell survive her. Then there are two sisters; Mrs. Anna Simek and Mrs. Mary Ann Cottrell of Dime Box; two brothers Frank Blaha of Tilden, Texas and William Blaha of Dilme Lox, 27 grandel aldren and 28 great-grandchildren.

Interment was in the Hranice Cemetery. Her grandsons were her pallbearers.

Sincere sympathy of our Brotherhood goes to the bereaved Family. )• •( The 22nd annual Letter Writing Week will be celebrated in West, Texas, during the week of Oct. 4 to 10, it wasannounced by Postmaster Raymond J. Hruska.

"I am sure we are all aware, that a personal letter is, next to an actual visit, the most intimate intimate and economical means each of us have to communicate with our fellow human beings. Accordingly, I urge everyone to 'write today to those away'."

Posters, depicting a mailman in the new postal vehicle called the mailster, will be displayed in post offices throughout the country. Coloful streamers, proclaiming that "Letters are fun to send and exciting to receive," will be displayed on postal vehicles.

Postmaster Hruska stated that the special week should serve as a reminder to write long-overdue letters to servicemen, hospital patients, foreign acquaintances, far-away friends and relatives, and others who will welcome a personal letter.

"Members" In The Texas News We thank you for the many clippings sent in by the membership to the "Members in the Texas News Column" but some are two and three weeks old. That kind of news surely is not interesting having lost its potency with age.

If you think enough of a person in the news to send it in at all, why not in "time" when everyone likes to read it!

It takes the same amount of effort and postage.

Naturally, old items have to make way for "newsy" items that have just happened, and sometimes do not get printed at all.

So you good readers, friends, and members, remember, , if you want the brotherhood to enjoy your contribution, don't let it age on your writing tablet -send it in while it is HOT! -- Thank you.

David Haines, general manager of radio station KORA, Bryan wrote State Representative D. H. Cole of Bryan and suggested such a bill Several other states have such a law.

Cole turned Haines' suggestion over to C. R. Granbury, executive director of the

legislative council, 'who disclosed the text of the suggested bill.

It provides that no person who works in the news departments of newspapers, press associations, radio or television stations "shall be required to disclose the source of any information procured or obtained by by such person in the course of his employment in any legal proceeding, trial or investigation before court, grand jury, petit jury, or any officer thereof, before the presiding officer of any tribunal, or his agent or agents, or before the legislature or any committee thereof, any commission, department, division or bureau of the state, or before any county or municipal body, officer or committee thereof."

A section of the bill would make it emergenc y legislation; i.e., that is, if it is passed) and signed by the governor, it will become effective the moment the governor signs it.

The emergency clause of the proposed bill reads in part: "The fact that the unrestricted gathering and dissemination of news is essential to the democratic way of life and that the holding of news sources inviolate would result in more news and broader coverage of news stories, creates on emergency and an inpressive broad necessity." )
