JO DO NACH DEAN 6et1 jsem nedavno vzpominku na ty nage star gi zasloutile Sokolske a pii tom i narodni pracovniky a ad cela iada jich v torn soupisu byla opomenuta, prec potegilo, 2e alespoil to jejich prate bylo dilem vzpomenuto. — Ono se dnes stela jinak na tu Sokolskou i spolkovou dinnst pohliti, jak jsme tu einili pied lety, a neni se prod diviti.

Zda se nam star girn zahadou, prod Casto jen namahou mono ziskat mladgi nage spolupracovniky a prod az na mengi vkjimky mlade2 se vzdaluje na gemu sna teni. — Ptieinu snad mo2no hledati v torn, 2e na ge mladet se vzdaluje dinnosti vetginou proto, 'te se v na gich spolcich tdda od elenstva praci a neskytame jim dostateenSrch zabay.

Stargi Sokolgti a spolkove pracovnici men pevnou viru v dobrou vec kterou konali a pojila je nadeje v lep gi budouci doby, a to jejich mladetptestane maiiti eas v doeasnSrch hraekach a zapoji se do zdarneho snateni a pievezme starosti o budoucnost tech na gich spolkil. lo kdo z nas se ptal: "Co s toho rnam", jak se nyni east° tate ten na'8 dorost. — A proto east° nekteti ty stall harcovniky zustavaji na mistech "pies eas", aby zajistili lepgi budoucnosti a snad — noveho rozmachu omlazene sily na gi mla de2i.

Je nesporne faktem, ze dostali jsme easem jakSrsi docela jinST narodni rat.

V mnohS7ch veci tak velice odli gnST, kterk se posledni debou pkili gnou merou vyvinuje. — Ovgem 2e nejsme vgichni stejni, ale nejen to nebot' i mistni pomery ovlivnuii nage jednani.

Ani nage cesty k cili nejsou stejne a easto se dostavame do rozporu s pracovniky, kteri tieba i stejne doloke smy g -li,prot2esndovem rozue ti. — Nedivme se tomu, 2e nage cesty nejsou stejne, nebot' ka2dk si ji voli podle sve vnittni povahove potteby. — Bratr Kutel z Buckholts, proslovil neco pH nagem nedavnem sejiti se, co2 bychom radi zde zaznamenali a sico, — "Myslim-li, te ten druiV bratr volil 'Spat ne a ja, dolote, nemusim a nemel bych jej proto podcenovati."

Svata pravda, jen 2e toho east() zapomindme. Zaldi mnoho na lidske vile k kteremu zdkonu to sna genlivosti se ptiklonime a dovedeme-li uvesti nage nazirani v soulad s jinSrmi, nebot' sna genlivost a porozumeni v dennim nagem tivote jsou vzacnS'Irn darem ktereho bychom si meli nade vge Nczatlivejte roam tedy pkespkili g, kdy2 nekdy i pki nejlep gi snaze Vam nedovedeme vyhoveti a laskave o tom uvatnjte, zda jste sami v nedem nechybili.

Adameika, jenZ byl uverejneny ye V. ze dne 7 kijna na str. 4. Souhlasime apine z jeho nahledy a na gi vyslanci v prigtim sjezdu budou ten navrh podporovat a pro nej volit. K tern v gem vyclanim ktere br. A. jmenoval, Ze elenove museli kdysi platit, pripominame, Ze take lekakskou prehlidku a spolkovY odznak take si sami platili.

A nyni my podavame navrh kterY take posilame stanovnimu vYboru, aby prigtim sjezdu tiskovY vYbor byl zprosten tech raznYch zbyteenYch povinnosti, aaby mel pouze jednu povinnost a sice aby proskoumal dopisy zavadneho obsahu ktere tomu vYboru redaktor za gle, a to se da vytidit po gtou bez odbyvani schtlzi. Neb ty schaze stoji Jednotu ka,'Z dY rok nekolik stovek a Jednota ne-ma z nich ani 5c. uZitku. Doufame, e nam bude rozumeno, e nekritizujem eleny onoho vYboru, pouze ten system. Piece ten vYbor za to nemtZe, Ze mu bylo sjezdem natizeno aby ty schaze odbYval.

Navrh byl take I poslan do Vestniku pkimo, abys to ne-

Ve stkedu, dne 21. kijna 1959 musel, pkepisovat, a zni nasledovne: Nivrh na oprvu stanov v pigtim sjezdu (Podavaji elenove kadu Karel Jona g 6.28) a sice, aby TiskovY vYbor byl zprogten tech rtiznych povinnosti, a aby mel pouze jecinu povinnost, a to je: aby proskoumal dopisy, jestli mu totir bratr redaktor pogle.

To se mitre vykidit pogtou, tak jak to delal TiskovY vYbor pied east-bernardskYm sjezdem. Jednotu to nestalo ani pet centii. Dela' to vYbor bez schtzi. Nyni ty schtze Tiskoveho vYboru od eastbernardskeho sjezdu stoji Jednotu ko etyk tisic a Jednota nemela z tech schtizi ani pet centil uritku.

Doufame, re nam bude rozumeno. Nekritisujeme eleny onoho vYboru, pouze nynej g i system. VYbor za to neintre, kdyr mu sjezd nakidil ty schtze konat.

Hedva,bi bylo jako plech jen eumelo. Babieka °tire, starou truhlu. Je po jeji babiece a loni kclyi sem zavital jednou pan ueitel byl nad ni celY udi yenY a hnecl mel chut ji koupit.

Ale chyba lavky bableka by ji neprodala za nic, za nic!

Babieka ma, radost sama nad sebou.

V2dyt' neni jeete tak stara, pekne ji to slug, jen se podivejme. Vadyt' by si dovedla jeete i poskodit a snad dokonce i zatancovat.

Na nedalekem rybnieku kurikaly 26,by i ony citily jarni dobu.

New Auto Insurance Ruling Under provisions of the ruling, which will become effective Jan. 1, drivers with no accidents on their records for as long as three years will earn a credit of 20 per cent. At the same time the drivers responsible for accidents will pay an increasingly higher rate as his recard worsens.

We believe such a plan will make for safer driving. Nothing has more effect on the average person than tapping his pocketbook, and when an individual finds himself paying heavily for the privilege of driving carelessly, we believe it will make a careful driver of him. At the same time, the driver with a good record will be inspired to maintain it when he sees he will save $20 on every $100 he now pays for protection.

There will be some, of course, who will try to chisel on the plan by falsifying their insurance .applications or by just failing to take out insurance. There are many who are doing the latter now.

These things, too, must be taken care of if abused.

From The Bell Coun Record CAROL CUBA, TAYLOR SPJST QUEEN FOR DISTRICT II Carol Mae Cuba, representing Taylor Lodge No. 29 was named queen of SPJST District II at ceremonies at Seaton's Star Hall Sunday evening.

Social Security Many people fail to understand the extent to which social security benefits are designed to help them.

Social security benefits provide only a foundation on which the individual can build his own personal financial security. It is• not intended that the social security benefits alone maintain the family after retirement or death of the family breadwinner It is intended that the working person provide his own retirement income by planning his insurance. annuities and savings program so that income from these sources along with the income received in the form of social security benefits will enable the family to live in financial security and comfort.

Many people do not realize that they should plan in advance of their retiremerit, nor do they realize the sources of income that may be available to them in addition to their social security benefits.

In addition to income from savings programs, investments and other sources, the retired person may be able to supplement his income with a part time or seasonal job. The social security law permits a beneficary to earn as much as $1,200 in calendar year and to receive his social security checks throughout the year.

Social security is only one of many sources of income to retired workers.

Financial security is dependent on many factors and each workers should carefully plan his own future in such a way that he and his family can live without fear of greatly reduced income because of his retirement or death. di •

Lodge 66 Hosts District III At Fall Meeting (CONTINUATION OF DISTRICT MEETING) Brother Pokladnik: "I want to thank Lodge 66 for taking care of us and for all this wonderful food they have had, to the Supreme Lodge officers for being here with us our neighbors from District Five.

After a motion the Meeting closed.

The next Meeting by vote will be held at Lodge Jaromir 154 at West, Texas.

After a five minute interval, the Children's Program was presented. It was late in the afternoon, for the business meeting had taken too long and the program was cut short.

Under the Direction of Youth Director of Lodge 66, Sister Libbie Parma, the Youth Program opened with: 1. Welcome by Skipper Spence in high hat and tails bidding us welcome.

2. A five member combo gave us some modern music. They had a good drummer who kept them all "hep" to the bent.

3. Little Helen Kolenovsky gave us three numbers on her Accordion.

4. A Pantomime, Somebody to Love, was next by Jean Spence.

5. Piano Solo — Czech polkas by Sister Hattie Matus.

6. Another Pantomime Dance With Me Henry, by the Spence Sisters.

7. Skit. Shortening Bread, by darkies Mary Sue Moore and LaNelle Ceska, which brought down the house.

So the shortened program ended. It was well received by all present.

While the good sisters were puttim; the finishing touches to Supper in the large kitchen, visiting was the order of the day. Brother Rudy Shefcik, of Houston led a songfest in the refreshment bar.

It was a beautiful day and it seemed that many lodges, societies and organizations were having feasts, bazaars, etc. on this day so that the crowd was not as large as District III had been used to having. However, the meeting had a very nice attendance and the brotherhood listened very attentively to the proceedings. It was a very friendly gathering and I am sure that we all enjoyed meeting together.

that Sister Zabcik was a Reporter and in some of our plannig meetings, I forgot to invite her and so she has not been able to cooperate and announce our meetings in the Vestnik, but I want to apologize to her for the oversight and I would like for Sister Zabcik to serve es our Reporter. Sister Zabcik are you here? Will you serve as our Reporter?

All right, thank you very much (apalause).

Wednesday, October 21, 1959 missed anyone, will you please excuse me, but I believe that is all the people I recall seeing around here — maybe I didn't get to see all of them. Are there any youth leaders from other districts here? I believe we do not have (Sister Hejl introduces a visiting Youth Leader).

"At this time we will have the reading of the minutes. Those minutes have been published in the Vestnik, two or three weeks ago, Bro. Boudny, and I would entertain at this time a motion that we dispense with the reading of the minutes: If someone will make that motion from this District." (Bro. Mikolaj makes the motion, seconded by Brother Navratil). Voted and accepted.

I don't want to prolong this business meeting but I would like to pause here for just a moment to read you a paragraph of the letter, as most of you were at the Camp Tahauya Meeting, and voted a Resolution of Thanks, and in writing to Mr. W. H. Randolph, Scouting Executive inn Taylor for the Heart of Texas Council I made these comments in the letter after thanking him: "Although the new SPJST District Two Officers to be elected in 1969, may wish to plan other activities, the Camp Tahauya schedule may not permit it, I would like now to tentatively request that we again be permitted to enjoy your camp.

"I would now like to read the reply from Mr. Rudolph to that paragraph: "Thanks a lot for sending your newspaper "Vestnik." We are very happy that you had a successful meeting at Camp Tahauya. As you requested, we shall send you our Camp Sehedule as soon as completed in order that you may make plans to use our Camp again in 1960.

Mr. Matson, our Camp Director, really enjoyed working with your group."

"So I wanted to put that into the records, and I am sure if the new officers of 1960 want to they will be able to obtain Camp Tahauya and I am sure that all of you who were there will want to return and I hope that many more of you Who were not will be able to be there next year if District Leadership and the membership chose to have another day at Camp Tahauya."

"What about the youth — are you in favor of having another day at Camp Tahauya?" asked Brother Cervenka, to the enthusiastic nods of these small fry seated in the audience.

Brother Chervenka asks for reports of Organizers, District Director, Rest Home Director. "Do any one of you want to make a report at this time — do any officers of the District, or the Committees I don't believe we have any re-

Wednesday, October 21, 1959 ports, if you want to, you had better speak up now and make your report." said President Chervenka.

The District Treasurer was asked to make his report. Brother Vitek made his report, giving totals in the Youth Activity Fund and the General Fund.

Brother Vitek is thanked for his report. Brother Chervenka asks for comments. — none given.

Brother President Chervenka proceeds rapidly with the new business, old business, nothing in the way of advance business except the selecting of the next meeting place.

"The selection of the meeting place for our next meeting — I don't think we will have another meeting this year, unless you want to .have one, normally, we have a meeting in March of next year, that would be our annual meeting in which the new officers will be elected. Now as you all probably know, next year is the Convention Year and the District will have added program that we did not have last year, that is the nomination of the District Director, Alternate; Member of the Publications Committee and alternate, and the By-Laws Committee and Alternate. That is not important right now — but I'd like for all of you to take your District By-Laws and your SPJST By-Laws • and study them before the next District Meeting. Of course you will have that coming up in your annual meeting in your local lodge, but what I'm trying to say is, that, these things that we are going to have to do at the next district meeting, that is obtain nominees to these various posts and that does not mean that these people will necessarily be elected, because there will be a candidate at the Convention and add other names to the nomination but we will have some things to do along that line at the next District Meeting if it is after April first, because that is the date upon which the delegates are certified to the Supreme Lodge; they have to be certified by that date. I believe that our Dy-Laws say, well, maybe I'd better read that — I believe these are complete in accord with the By-Laws." Reads from By-Laws: "Of course you can see if we have one more meeting before the Convention that that meeting will have to make these nominations. Now, we also have in our first meeting in 1960, will have to elect new officers for the District, so, it appears that vie could have one Meeting sometime in January, February or March to elect our officers, but we would not know at that time who our delegates are, so we could have to have another meeting after April first, sometime

stated, please raise you hand; all opposed with like sign — carried unanimously." said Bro. Chervenka.

We will now accept the invitation of Brother Leshikar, president of Lodge Praha No. 29 in Taylor, to have our meeting there sometime after April first except on the first Sunday in May. Looking at the calendar here the Sundays in April are the 3, 10, 17 and 24th. The question of when Easter comes next year — does anyone know when Easter comes? I have a calendar here, but it is not indicated," stated president Chervenka.

We have had difficulty in previous years, we have had it on the last Sunday in March, some occassions Easter ' comes on the last Sunday in March.

The Chair recognizes Brother Rudolph Troubil. Inasmuch as Brother Troubil was in the back of the hall and his voice did not register well.

President Chervenka repeats: "Do I have a second to that motion? I appre= ciate your motion in Czech (Bro. Troubil spoke in Czech — the only thing, I cannot get along as well in it as I would like to. Motion made by Bro. Troubil and , seconded, that the District Officers meet and decide upon a date and announce that date, in April. Do I have any discussions to Bro. Troubil's motion — if not, all those in favor of same raise your right hand; all opposed, like sign', carried. It will be in April, probably in May if it would have to be, but we will get together with the lodge officers today and reserve a Sunday. Later today' you can check with us and we will have ' that information — we will try to get to you, possibly right after the program is completed and the the talent contest, if you officers will meet with me, we should have it." concluded Bro. Cher= venka.

Bro. Chervenka urges all to read their, By-Laws in preparation for the next, meeting. The main items of business' will be nomination of officers of the, District and delegates to the Convention.

Then the judges for the talent con test were announced: Brothers Vrla of District III. Jakiibik of District 1, Koliha, of District VII and Sidney Kacir of District II. In 'the Handicraft judging: Sisters Helen Vrla of District III, Jakubik of Brother Mikolaj has the floor and District I and Anna Koliha of District then President Chervenka repeats: "Bro. VII. Mikolaj informs me that in talking to Everyone was asked to let the Judges Bro. Marek no other district has a meeting scheduled for any Sunday in work among the exhibit table in peace,' April. Anyone more wants to have a until they had finished awarding the', discussion on this motion? If not, then prizes to the entries before going td, we will ballott, and all of you in favor the exhibits to see them.

Brci. Mikolaj announced that the Corof Bro. Leshikar's -motion, 'as heretofore

before the Convention in June. Now we can have two meetings, or we can delay our Annual Meeting to be sometime after April first, and at that time elect new officers and the District Representatives to be nominees, be approved.

Dos anyone have a suggestion on that --that we have our meeting after April first?"

Brother Leshikar: "I move that our next district meeting be held April 1st and at the same time to invite it to be held at our Lodge Praha No. 29 in Taylor."

Brother Chervenka: "Thank you Bro. Leshiker, for the move and extending the invitation that the District hold its first meeting iri 1960 sometime after April 1; that it be held at Taylor, Lodge Praha No. 29. Do I have a second to that motion? acked Bro. Chervenka.

Motion made and seconded. Da I have any discussion on that motion? I don't want to close the door to any other invitation, that anyone might want to extend for the District Meeting, if you have an invitation, you might get up at this time and extend your invitation, if not -- then we will have a vote on Bro. •eshikar's motion."

Brother Mikolaj corrected the motion to state "anytime after April the first" and Bro. Leshikar then added that anytime except the first Sunday in May when the Lodge holds its annual "May fete".. President Chervenka thanks the brothers for the clarification.

"We have a motion on the floor -an invitation for our next District Meeting, it is on the floor right now, we are having discussion on it, Bro. Kacir? •Bro. Kacir recognized "Next year is the Convention year," states Brother August Kacir, "I just wondered if all our districts would not first work out with the Supreme Lodge, so that no two. Districts have their meetings on the san-le date," to be worked out by the Committee here.

"I think," said Bro. Chervenka, "we decided that the next thing after this motion is passed, to decide when we, will have it and we have the Supreme Lodge Officers here with us and probably we cculd find out what the open dates are.

Right now, we are not setting any dates, and our next problem is to clear the date with all of the other districts."

Strana ()nation of District II Queen will be held at 8;00 p.m. and asks those who have to go home for "chores" to be sure and come back for the gala occasion.

Bro. President Chervenka announced that the suppeu will be served and to keep in mind that 25 per cent of the proceeds go into the Youth Fund from this supper.

"If anyone has any announcement, anything you want to say," invited District President. "I'm sorry that we do not have time to have a few words from our Supreme Lodge officers and from our District, and other Districts, but we are running late and we are certainly happy that all of you are with us today and thank You for, being here and hope that you will be here tonight: we want all of yon to be here tonight, Without further adieu, I noW declare this meeting ceased. Thank you," said Bro. Chervenka.

Sister ITejl takes over the Talent Contest with the first age group 1-6 years performing.

Because the little ones talked into the microphone, their numbers were well heard all over the Hall. Brenda Leshikar's "School Days" won first place; James Barto s h second, and Denise Bartosh won third place in his age group.

In the 71,o 12 year group, Lamia Vitek won first place for her technically difficult March; Deborah Adamek won second place; Bernadette Melcar won third place and Janet. Cable and Trudy Mikulas fourth. The Czech "Modre Oci" (Blue Eyes) was particularly well sung — a nice voice there.

In the-Sardor Division 13 to 18 year group, Carol Mikulas won first place, Betty J. Zabcik second; and. Janette Leshikai with her -chopsticks" third.

The (Mat "Pisnicka Ceska" was sung in beautifull blended voices.

Brother District President Chervenka Calls the assembly to order to announce the winners of the Talent Contest as given above and to announce that the Handicraft Judging was still in progress; that the names would be announced in the Vestnik. Consolation prizes to Talent Contest participants were given.

Once again the sisters were ready to serve the hungry with the finest of Czech cooking. Due to Brother Chervenka's expert handling of the procedure of the meeting, all of the business was completed .in time for the fine supper in good company. Visiting followed after the long, long line was finally served and the last hungry member fed, until 8:00p.m. when the Coronation of District II King and Queen, began, followed by the Coronation Ball.

The Editor and wife had a very pleas-

VESTNiK— WEST, TIMAS

ant chat with one of our older brothers, who remembered the first buggy ride he ever had in a buggy his father purchased — the first one in those parts -- the talk swerved to reminescing of experiences the early Texas Czechs endured here in this dreamed of Land of the Free, where Indians still raided white settlers, where negro slaves were the property of their owners, who purchased them from runners from Haiti, who were run down by dogs like animals when they rebelled and ran away from, their masters, of the Civil War days, how carpet baggers and other rabble took the law into their own hands, how families Were separated by the recruiting of the men in the families to fight the War, the suffering of the women and their children during their absence, and one could not help but feel proud that through all of this the Czechs endured and more came to settle this wild Texas and make it "home" for us now in the year of 1959. What a great debt of gratitude we owe these people Who now rest in the earth, many long forgotten. We reminesced of the not too long ago days when beds had no springs, only hard board bottoms, when mattresses were stuffed at home with hand shredded-into-ribbonss corn shucks, for cotton mattresses could not be bought on the market, when coal oil lamps lighted our homes, water was drawn from a well by hand; the first automobiles with their carbide lights and rubber hose connections—what a luxury --then the first radio ear-phone sets and so on down the line to our modern TV. The time passed quickly.

At eight o'clock, Brother Joe B. Hejny went to the microphone to ask us all to take our seats along the sides of the Hall at the individually placed tables to witness the Coronation of District II's Princesses and their Escorts. The Music Masters of Seaton played for the Ball.

First to come in was tiny Karen Ann Graves, the Flower girl, in a floor length white taffeta gown, with a garland of flowers in her hair, on the arm of handsOme Master Randy Welk the Crown Bearer of the District II Queen.

They proceeded across the length of the Hall to the stage decorated with baskets of white gladiolas and pink beauty vines decorated the backdrop on the stage. The stairs onto, the stage was draped in white and with greenry on each side, running the length of the steps. The Queen's chair awaited her on this stage in this setting.

Brother Hejny then announced Princess Carolyn Ann Cuba, of Lodge Praha 29 and her escort Douglas Mikush who followed the flower girl and the crown

Wednesday, October 21, 1959 bearer across the length of the Hall into the stage.

Lovely Carolyn Ann was dressed in a floor length white organza strapless gown, fitted below the hip line and then sweeping out in a full skirt, with huge bows of the same material sewed around her skirt. She had a short bolera jacket of the same material as her gown and wore Sleeping Beauty white shoes and elbow length kid gloves. Her escort was attired in a dark suit and black bow ties. They took their places on the stage.

Then lovely Princess Dorothy Hoelscher of Lodge 24 on the arm of her escort Brother Daniel Maresh were announced next. They followed the first couple onto the stage.

Princess, Dorothy was dressed in a strapless appricot net, floor length, same colored Sleeping beauty slippers and white elbow length kid gloves. Daniel was attired in dark trousers and white coat and black bow tie.

Then the lovely Princesses Sandra Mikoias of Lodge No. 47 came in on the arm of Dean Mikeska to follow the preceding couple onto the stage.

This lovely Princess too had an apricot net gown, ballerena length, high heeled slippers. Her gown had an overskirt of net with row upon row of tiny ruffles, Her escort was dressed in dark trousers, white coat, black bow tie.

The three Princesses, their escorts and the tiny flower girls, the Crown Bearer who held the fragile rhinestone tiara on a red velvet cushinon. stood to have their pictures taken by the edittor and other shutterbugs present.

Brother Hejny grinning 'happily said, "At this time, I would like to thank everyone who helped in the Contest in District II. I want to thank the Princesses. their escorts, friends and any one who helped, to make this Princess Contest the success it is.

"I want to tell you, my friends, that the SPJST is making history this year.

Just last month our Order has written $424,000 worth of life insurance; 291 members; that is more than we have done in a long, long time and this can attributed to the Youth Movement in our Order with the big support of the organizers and you the members who are here tonight. With your support we were able to do that. We want to thank you each and everyone of you, however, small your contribution may have been -- we want to thank you." stated Bro. Hejny.

This really had everyone on the edge of his chair — for the Big Question was still unanswered. Laughingly Brother Hejny said: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I

The applause was thunderous! , Lovely Princess Carolyn, beaming in her lovely white gown. seated herself on the chair co that the lovely ,Crown could be placed on her lovely dark hair

by District President Calvin Cervenka, who was trying to handle the fragile head ornament expertly, so that it would stay put on her head.

"It gives me a great deal of pleasure to crown you Queen of District II," said Brother Calvin, and would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you Queen Carolyn Cuba and your King Douglas Mikush of District II. We know that we have three beautiful young ladies who competed in the contest for the Queen title of District II, and three handsome gentlemen who helped them in any way they could. I only wish that it were possible that each and everyone of you could be queen. I know you deserved it. But no matter how hard we work, there is somebody who works just a little harder" concluded Brother Chervenka.

Sister Clara Hejl distributed gifts to the royal court, the flower girl presented the Queen with a huge bouquet of red roses tied with a big ribbon. A special gift from the Supreme Lodge of $25 went to the Queen, while a simulated mother of pearl lavaliere with the SPJST Emblem and SPJST cufflinks were given the other 'Timbers of the royal court.

Then each member of tha court had their parents introduced to the District. followed by roll call of Organizers. who joined them in front of the stage where the Queen sat. ,

ters will start playing the Coronation March, we shall introduce to you our Youth Director of District II, Sister Clara Hejl!" (who took a bow).

"At this time, continued Bro. Hejny, "I would like to bring up the subject of our Youth Woi'k. This evening you witnissed the beautiful Youth Activity Day. We had a nice Talent Program and Nice display of Handicraft by our Youth of this District and I think that we have one of the most capable Youth Directors I would like to thank Sister Clara Hejl tonight for her work in District II. At times it may seem that we do not give her the support that she deserves but tonight's attendance, provides her opportunity. I would like to call on Sister Hejl to say a few words, for we do appreciate the work she is doing in this District."

"I am not a speaker," says Sister Hejl on accepting the applause and talking into the mike, "I just want to thank everyone of you for helping me, the parents who helped with the children, the judging, those who helped in the kitchen, judges of the exhibits, etc., and I do hope that we will have still a better one next year than this year."

Brother Hejny then resumed talking.

"I know that we will have a still better Queen's Contest this is just the beginning. I think we have the most wonderful program that we have ever had."

Calling on the District President Calvin Chervinka, said: "Thank you Brother Hejny, this is also a surprise but I am very happy to be here, you have my well wishes — to the princesses and their escorts, everyone down the line. I thing it has been a wonderful start for our District and hope that the others have enjoyed this and hope that we can look Brother Hejny pointed ont the "why" forward for a bigger and better program recognition was given the parents of next year." these young people as well as the District organizers, saying that they too, The band started playing the Queen's worked hard with the contestants.

COTTONWOOD LODGE NO. 6 West, Texas Dear Sisters, Brothers and Freinds, Our monthly meeting was held last Sunday, October 11 at 5:30 p.m. Beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance

by Jeanette Krizan • and Amelie Hanak, and we then sang one verse of America, led by the same girls, and Kathy Za.palac joined them.

The meeting was opened by our President Joseph Janecka.. The minutes of cur last meeting were read by our Secretary. Sister Marie Janecka. Brother John Krizan gave the Treasurer's report, followed by Brother Raymond Vochaska's financial report. The Auditing Committee's report was given by Brother Robert Hawkins. Our lodge president then welcomed everyone to the meeting. Our two brother visitors from a neighboring lodge were Joe Dujka and Joseph Foit of the Ross, Texas lodge.

Visiting us, Bro. Dujka, organizer for the Ross Lodge secured three new members for our lodge No. 6. We are very glad to receive them and appreciate their wanting to join our lodge. We also appreciate Brother Dujka's working for us for a change, to him, We say "Thank you and come back again."

Our attendance was great last Sunday.

There was some discussion about building the kitchen and some other little things to be done to improve our lodge since it grew up so fast this year. A motion was reside and carried to build the kitchen, we also had some new membe r s a rimittcr4 to our lodge. They are Linda Kathryn, Barbara Elizabeth, Doris Ann and Joseph William Veselka. We all welcome them to our midst and are glad to have them among us. We hope they will all visit and come to our lodge meetings and socials as much, as they possibly can.

Following the meeting a free, delicious barbecue supper was served to all of the members and their families, and a free Harvest Dance was held at night for everyone, old and young.

The Harvest Dance turned out to be

V*STNtIC — WEST. TEXAS

a big success, with every man trying to out-sasart the 10 policewomen who were on the "beat" that night working secretly. The first one caught was Brother Rudolph Krizan. There were approximately 40 to 50 men and boys — jailbirds — who got caught for stealing our fruit and had to be thrown in the pokey. Some had to be bailed out by a friend and some had to be bonded or else they wouldn't come out for there was a very beautiful blonde hussy inside the jail, whose name was given as "Susie Dummy." After all the fruit was gone there was a• charge just to go see our Susie, if they wanted to know what we had inside, Yes, our first Harvest Dance ever held at our lodge was a great success. There was lots of fun and it was enjoyed by all.

Also, there were some brothers and sisters who were celebrating on that day with us. They were Brother Jerry Sumbera who had a birthday; Brother and Sister Herman and Marie Drews observed their 32 wedding anniversary on that day; Brother and Sister Alvin and Mary Pavlas had their 7th wedding anniversary. If there were others I missed, I am sorry.

At this time we want to say "Many Thanks" to all the good sisters for bringing the other good food to make the menu so complete and to all who helped in every way with what was needed.

There was so much to carry on. Our special "Thanks" to Brother Frank Janek who worked all day at the gin, then came to the Hall to help us at the bar until late that night.

A personal "Thanks" to you and Sister Rose Uptmore and your husband Brother Johnnie and daughter Karen, who helped me and my husband and children hang up all of that fruit for the the Hail. Also thanks goes to Sister Tonic and Brother John Marek for making the delicious barbecue and always keeping it hot until we got ready to eat.

We enj oyed the music of Henry Snapha's Band of Dallas and was glad to have all of them visit with us. We want to ttzank them for coming and regret that they had to drive back so late that night.

A donation of the Lodge was passed to send to the Czech Education Fund at A. and M, College at Bryan, Texas.

Our next meeting will be November 1st, beginning at 1:30 p.m. as always.

There will be a report of our Harvest Dance Committee.

Fraternally yours, Ruth Krizan, your reporter

Strana 21 WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: Our pretty little town sure has had its share of rain. I can't remember when it 'has rained steadily for 24 hours without stopping, but that is just what we had. It has kept the farmers out of the fields, laying the land aside for winter, some still picking cotton, etc.

On the brighter side of the picture, the West Longhorn Club, is participating in reciprocity to other riding clubs in the surrounding towns in parades and rodeos. West has some very beautiful animals in their club. Especially notewornly is that the very young tots in our locale have their own miniature ponies on which they participate in these parades. Many a toddler rides saddle with mother or dad, thus, getting the youngsters used to the animal — making it a family affair. This is Rodeo time, and there is always an air of exvitement during a rodeo. West had their rodeo in August. Last Sunday a trail ride assembled in Rosebud, even the rain could not stop it . Just riding through, I noticed that Elm Mott had their Covered Wagon in Rosebud for the ride.

Since it is too wet to work in the garden. I write about my little town.

If I didn't think it was about the nicest in Texas, I wouldn't mention 'it at all, but, I know that there are a lot of folks originally from West, who like to hear about it some time in our Vestnik.

Some of our winter gardens boast lettuce, turnips, etc., but I understand the insects are bad. I've been lazy and have not planted lettuce. I've never had much luck with it for I 'hasitate to use poison and between the sparrows in our mulberry trees and the insects, my lettuce has a hard go. I've almost core the conclusion to buy my lettuce already grown.

With cooler weather coming, many of you girls will make roasts, and I am giving you a recipe today which you might like to try — using beer for basting.

Roast Loin of Veal 5pounds loin of veal, 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 teaspoons salt,. 3 tablespoons fat, 4 carrots, quartered, 3 onions, sliced, cloves garlik, minced; 1 bay leaf,1/4teaspoon thyme, 6 sprigs parsley, 2 stalk celery, 2 cloves, 3 cups beer, 1 tablespoon flour.

Have the veal larded. Rub in the salt and pepper. Heat the fat in a shallov, roasting pan and brown the meat very well on all sides. Pour off the fat and add the carrots, onions, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, celery, cloves and 2 cups of beer. Roast in a 350 degree oven

etratla

VtSTNIE— WEST, TEXAS

2 1/2 hours, or until tender, basting frequently, adding the beer that remains when needed.

Place the roast on a platter and keep warm. Force the gravy, and vegetables through a seive. Mix the flour with a little water and add to the sauce.

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly to the boiling point. Taste for seasoning and 000k five minutes longer. Serve 8 to 10.

I hope you and your family like this type roast with its flavorful gravy. Next time, I shall give you another recipe using beer for something different and good. So, until then, keep well and stay beautiful.

Well, as most of you know Halloween is coming up real soon, Oct. 31. Remember if you go out on the streets at night to trick or treat, be careful.

Anything can happen.

Not too many things have been going on at Lodge 66 since the District Meeting and our lodge meeting. I do have to say this about our Youth Club though, We are really growing. We almost see a new face at each meeting, we have and believe it or not, still have room for plenty more. Why don't you join? It's a lot of fun!

How is your school coming along in football? Catholic High is doing wonders. We have won five out of six games but one of our toughest is yet to come.

That is, when we play Jesuit. My cousin, Richard Sykora and a friend James Janousek are both from Jesuit and are both active members of Lodge No. 84's Youth Club. Richard Sykora is the President, known by all to have microphoneitis. We're only teasing, Richard. Well, we'll see you at the game anyway, May the best team win.

Well, as there is nothing more for me to say, I will close and go back to my studies. Give my regards to all, aternally, I remain, Hattie Matus, Teen-Reporter Lodge 66 .

Wednesday, October 21, 1959 prise to me. There were four princesses and escorts in all and no one knew who the King and Queen would be until the last moment. Only the Supreme Lodge Vice-President, Mr. Hejny, knew and when he announced my name as Queen and Carlson Jakubik (my escort) as King, I could hardly believe it.

I only wish the other three couples could have won, also, for I know they worked nard, too. They were — Princess Jeanet Hovorak and her escort John Edmond Sefcik or New Tabor; Princess Beverly Kuder and her escort Ronnie Matejka of Bryan, and Princess Barbara Gorman and her escort Gene Gorman of Kovar, Texas. Bobby Ray Faust was the crown bearer and Claudia Novosad cortied the flowers.

In spite of the very rainy weather and the weatherman's predictions, we had a very nice turnout fro this occasion.

The meeting opened at 1:45 p.m. after Which the Youth Clubs of Bryan and Snook presented a program which was enjoyed by all present. I am sure.

After the program, the District Meeting followed. After the meeting was adjourned, supper was served. At 8:00 p.m. the emanation began and after that the Queen's Ball. We were pleased to have Western Melody Kings of Bryan to play for us. .

In closing, I wish to thank the Supre'-r)e Lodge for the necklace and $25. in cash, and District One for the lovely bouquet of red roses, bracelet, earrings and handkerchiefs, and Lodge No. 9 for the beautiful corsage. These gifts I will treasure always I am very sorry our Editor was s( close but did not get to come to be witi us. The road was muddy and there wak water around the Hall but it wasn't bad enough to stop us from going ahead as planned.

Again, I would like to say. Thank you for everything!"

Afterwards, James Sanousek, Lodge 84's new King, showed moving pictures from the First, Second and Third Anniversary Dances.
