BROTHERHOOD

PODZIMM RODMAN Po vgech tech horkYch vysilujicich dnech nastaly nam koneene chladnejgi dny podzimni kdy zas doufarne, tie telesne i dugevne vgici oktejeme a s vetgi chuti se pustime do dennich svYch tkolir a snad i sve spolkove tkoly, ktere jsme si dobrovolne ulotiili, buderne pro dobro celku bedliveje vykonavati.

PfemYglejme o techto vecech nyni, kdy nage vedery se prodlutiuji a radosti i pra ce leta jsou zas jednou za narni. — Pamatujte, tie nav gteva na gich tadovYch schtzi nas pospolu zblizuje, na g iivot ptatelstvim oboha.cuje.

Vzpomerite, tie automobil a televise zde zilstanou, ale mnozi dobre ptatele Vage, druh po druhu narn tak dasto odchazi, na vednost a tie pak jiZ" nikdy vice je neshledneme. Pozde litovati, tie jsme je zanedbali, 'tie jsme si jich vice nehledeli. — Hled'me tedy v mirnejAim poeasi vic nage tadove schtze nav gtevovati a udrtiovati styky s ptateli svYmi, dokud je eas.

Jak pied dasem bylo bratrem enkSr v tadovYch i ji--Memvzpoenut,i nSrch nagich schtzich je na to pisihodnY eas hovoiiti o pro nas dulezite einnosti organisaeni aneb agitaeni. Ptipomerime si, tie je tieba stale pohotovosti.

Uvedl jsem jiz nekolikrate, ze neni mano, aby nage tadove organisatofi yedeli o katidem v osade kdo tiivotni pojigteni potiebuje, avgak o mnohS7ch —

"prospektech" mohou se na ge bratti a sestry dozvedeti od Vas a proto, kdy se sejdeme, povzbud'me jeden druheho k ueinlivosti. — Tak prospejeme Jednote nagi i sami sobe, nebot' na ge organisapomoci od ostatniho elentori stva pottebuji.

Je sice pravdou, 'tie i bez nakladneho Skoleni mono se vypracovati vlastni pill na dobreho a schopneho organise,tora a hlavne dtkladnYm se seznamovanim s deny vlastniho isadu a blitigiho okoli, avgak pomoc nageho elenstva jest nenahraditelna.

Zde zas ociti jsem se u bodu, kdy pied lety jsem veril, tie na ge distriktni =laze nam budou vSidatnou pomoci v nagem spolkovem snatieni. — Agitaeni nost tehdy rozhodne potiebovala otiivujici einnost a diikazy nasvedeuji, 'tie vYsledky se dostavuji. Nage distriktni whitze, a to znovu opakuji, kdyi jsou spravne vedeni, men by i nadale miti velkY vYznam pro otiiveni einnosti, — pro pestovani uptimnSTch pisatelskYch stykt mezi tidy, — pro einnost s nagi pro vYchovu nageho elenstva jak si pti vedeni schuzi dlutino poeinat, — pro rtizne doporudeni o kterYch mono pro dobro Jednoty uvalovat. innost nagich okrskt mela, a to se neda upriti, na otiiveni agitadni a organisadni snatieni blahodarnSr vliv a to rokovani o pottebach a rozmanite dopo

rueeni ye schfizich projevene, nam tei neugkodi.

Meli bychom si povidy uvedomiti, to nage okrskove schtze mohou neco k oprove doporuditi, av gak tiadne zavazne rozhodovani a usneteni pro Jednotu diniti nelze.

8kodou jest, tie dosud nektere 'tidy nage si neuvedomily, ie se pripravuji o mnohe utitedne poudeni a o pfatelske sejiti se, ktere nas k dal gi praci Vtdy povzbuzuje. Mime se povkly jeden od druheho a obohacujeme se novSrmi zkugenostmi. — Tu pkipominame, ze je opravdu nevetitelne jak se east° dovede lidska povaha, osobnost ptedelat. Ueime se od svYch pfatel, kolik gpatnSTch navykil maze dlovek odlotiit. asto i osobnich nedostatkii se di spoledenskS7m stYkem napravit a vgechno zaleti na torn jakYm zptsobem se dovedem spoledne v nagich schtzich chovati.

Hlidka Zen San Antonio, Texas Sestry a bratti:— Kdyg jsem eetla od pani Kraftove z Dallas v Oechoslovaku ptipomenuti, ochotnici v Houstonu, budou hrat novY divadelni kus a ge by mistnost mela bYt zapinena do posledniho mista, rozhodnu li jsme se, ze nekdo z na gich Clem v San Antonio mel by zajet do Houstonu na divadlo. Volala jsem na mangele Kleprlikovi, ale nemohli odejet. Oba meli na to nedeli slugebni povinnosti, on drahy, ona v nemocnici. Tak jsme pozvali pani Kallusovou a mladou . eeskou holku, sleenu Evelynku Kalfusovou a jell jsme do Houstonu. Napfed jsme zastavili u bratra Chas. Cerneho y jeho Christensen Hotel Court. Je to bkvalk pfedseda radu Cislo 133 S nim jsme jell do sine na Studewood ,tam jsme nagli vgechno ptepinene od domacich a pies polnich.

PH.la bych si, aby takove divadlo mohli videt take lidi v jinYch mestech. divadla byl tak jak to givot ukazuje. Lide se zaenou hadat pro maliekost. A kdyi se usmiri, zas si najdou jinou pfieinu, aby se hadali mezi sebou dale. Sotva se jedna zlost zapomene, prijde druha a tfeti. Nemysli se na to, ge mame ptehlednout chyby druheho. Ka gdY dba, jenom o to, aby on mel vge na vrchu. Tak to bylo ukazane na jevi gti, kde nevesta v nadhernYch svatebnich gatech la genichovi prstenek pod nohy. A kdyg je druzi usmifili ,zadalo to znovu pro jinou maliekost, take svatebni prtivod se rozegel, kdyI nevesta zahodila svou kytici a misto do kostela utekla domu. Potorn opugtenk Zenich musel si smutne zazpivat "kdybys mela ma panenko sto ovec a ja jenom za klobitkem jalovec, nebudeg ma neni mogna". Mne bylo opravdu lito, jak si mladi iide nekdy nerozumi a jak stargi je podpichuji, misto aby Jim dali dobrou radu a swill jednail rozumne. Byli jsme zvedavi jak dopadne divadlo ke konci. Na eloveka musi prijit trest a poniteni, aby nabyl ro-

Bylo to divadlo, na co maze bYt bratr Stepan Val elk hrdy. Jak jsem sly g ela, to divadlo on sam iiapsal, dal do neho patnact ci osm nact sloyackYch pisnieek a tak dal nasim krajantun v Houstonu opravdu neco pekneho, co se nezapomene. To divadlo mslo by se opakovat v jinYch spolkovYch sinich nebo tieba pii sjezdu u nas v San Antonio. ZtakovYm divadlem mageme smele pied americkou verejnost.

Dear Brother Editor, The only picture I have is the one which I am sending. I hope that it will be all right. For the past two years we haven't been taking pictures in school and all those taken with a camera were group pictures. I do hope this reaches you in time and that it won't cause you any inconveninece.

Sincerely yours, Patsy Jurek Princess of Lodge 91 Crosby all. It is too bad those dinners don't come around more often. The dinner was topped off with coffee and "Larapin" (that is better than delishious) apple strudl. Thus topped off a perfect evening.

The most impressive thing was that they included us teenagers in their plans. It is people like you that help to make our teenage club so successful.

They don't push us back but instead bring us forward and encourage us to do better and better by having us over to their home for the evening. We realize they could have had a successful evening without us, and for that we the teenage club want to thank bah of you in words not expressable for the kindness shown to us. All of us are truly grateful.

Thanks once again and rest assured we will always remember you for you generousity and kindness shown to us that night.

Most Sincerely Yours, James Janousek A teenager of Lodge No. 84.

I was sponsored by a wonderful organizer, Mr. Valcik. He was working under a handicap since we entered the contest late. Within two weeks he sold enough insurance to help me win. Without his endless effort none of this would be possible. I was honored to be his candidate.

The Birthday Club sisters presented me with a twenty-five dollars savings bond and also a dozen beautiful red roses. The other candidates received nice gifts, too. This was an occasion I will always remember due to all the wonderful people at the Lodge who made it possible. Thank you again.

- tio TEENAGERS OF LODGE No. 84 DALLAS Dear Readers, Although this may be a little late, I thought it should be written. On Sunday September 27, the dance after the gala celebration at our Teenage Anniversary and Coronation Ball the Third District held it's Regular meeting. It was well represented by all the lodges. Lodge No. 84 was especially well represented becaus after the night before and get home late, any one can say it was indeed a task to get up to go down to Waco's Linden Hall in such a short time after going to bed for a long night's sleep.

But as Lodge No. 84 always comes through, this was no exception. There was a nice member of people present and we are proud of this. Of this there were 6 teenage member prom Dallas, with lack of needed sleep, made the trip down for the meeting. They were: Jerry Ann Urban, the new Queen of our Teenagers, James Janousek, the new King of our teenagers; and the following Rose Marie Kaska, Frankie Faraizi, and Larry Petr, Edwin Trlica. Please excuse me if there were any teenagers of Lodge No. 84 which I failed to mentions.

A you readers have read from the excellent and complete report given by our Editor and his Wife, the meeting was interesting and quite profitable for all. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Skrabanek and Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Sefcik, all of Houston. I had pleasure in seeing and visiting them. They are true fraternalist to travel out of District 5 to attend a District 3 meeting.

It was good to see them again.

At one time during the meeting, James Janousek and I presented a picture to the Mother Lodge as a remembrance of 'the Third Anniversary Dance and of our crowning. Just as soon as possible the pictures of our past Kings and Queens will also be added to the Lodge's "Hall of Fame".

The main highlight of the meeting was the presentation of a $2,000 check to the Mother Lodge inbehalf of the Teen-Age Club. Teen President, Richard Sykora, and Teen Treasurer, Juanita Janousek, made the presentation. Although $2,000 seems an awful lot, I'm sure every teen-ager at 84 will agree that even that is not enough to give our dear Mother Lodge for all that it has done for us. All the money in the world could not pay for the relationship we have had with Pokrok 84.

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting a few of the stars of the Ice Capades now being held at the State Fair. One of the stars was Miss Aja Zanova. She is the holder of the World Championship title.

As everyone knows District 7 had its Queen Coronation on September 20 at Corpus Christi. Seven princesses from seven different lodges were present to represent their respective lodges. I was fortunate to have the privilege of representing Lodge 133 San Antonio. This day will always be remembered by all that were there. I would like to congratulate the Queen Billy Jean Horton and her escort Clifton Trlica Jr. They certainly were well qualified for their titles. My congratulations are also extended to the other princesses and their escorts. They certainly did a fine job in representing their lodges.

SEATON, TEXAS Dear Members: If you were not at the Achievement Day and Queen Coronation Ball Sunday October 11, you surely missed a treat.

It was very interesting to see what the children brought to exhibit. There were many of the children in the Talent Contest who rendered Czech songs, although they cannot speak a word in Czech they did very good. Other talent was the playing of various instruments. The participants in the talent and exhibits received cash awards. Their names are published with this.

After the talent contest the sisters of Lodge 47 served us a delicious supper composed of sausage and all the trimmings.

At 8 o'clock there was the Coronation Ball held. Prencess Sandra Mikulas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Mikulas of Seaton and her escort Dean Mikeska son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mikeska were the representatives of Lodge 47. Princess Dorothea Hoelscher, daughter of Mr. and q rs. Robert Hoelscher of Cyclone and her escort Danny Mares son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mares were the representati\e-4 of Lodge 24.

The hall was very beautifully decorated to fit the occassion. The princesses were all lovely and their escorts handsome. The proceedings leading up to the coronation of the new King and Queen left everyone in suspense. Finally the magic moment came and, new royalty ascended the throne.

Congratulations to you Queen Jerry Ann Urban and King James Janousek — you both have the best wishes of everyone and the confidense that you will serve our lodge well during the coming year.

Of course all the princesses and their escorts are to be, commended for their hard work and they should all be proud of the final results. The honor of "Royal Escorts" was bestowed upon Princess Nodya Rejcek and her escort Richard Sykora who also worked very hard — Congratulations!

of Lodge No. 81 should be held. It is scheduled for February, 1960, and would replace our annual celebration which, in the past was held in August. This also would be the permanent time of year (February( for our annual celebration. Since this will be an important event in the history of our lodge, we urge each and everyone to please attend these meetings and help plan for that date.

At the meeting also, the teen-agers presented the lodge with a plaque containing a penny and this inscription: "SPJST No. 84, With this penny we wish to complete our first $1,000.00. Keep this penny and Teen Club and you will never lose your wealth of love. Teenagers 1959". As you will recall, the first check presented the lodge from the Teen-Age Club was in the amount of $999.99. Well, the teen-agers have endeared themselves to everyone and their affection for their Mother Lodge is very highly regarded. We hope there will always be a Teen-Age Club with members as loyal and wonderful as these. To top it all off the Teen-Age Club presented to the Lodge a check for $2,000.00.

Thanks to you all!

The Entertainment Committee of the Sokol and SPJST No. 84 have worked out the individual dance schedule of each lodge so the plans of one will not fall on the same date as the other. In this way, members of either lodge can attend the activities planned by the other lodge. So, members of No. 84, why not plan to attend some dances at Sokol in their new building. And, by the same token, we want to invite you Sokol members to visit us.

On Friday, October 30, a Halloween Party will be given at our lodge for the children, The party will begin at 7:30 p.m, with games and refreshments.

Bring the children in costumes.

Well folks, I am very glad to let you all know that our picnic supper turned JUt to be a big success, and we want to thank everyone of you who came to our picnic as well as to those who helped in any way.

Many thanks to our always-willingto-work sisters in the kitchen and to the cooks at the barbecue pit, for I heard many remarks about how very good and tasty it was. Our lodge member, Brother August Kasper, never fails to make the meat tasty — just right!

WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls, This morning the sun came out smiling, promising us a beautiful fall day, so 10 and b hold, just as soon as the children went off to school and hubby to worl,a the clothes lines began filling up with flapping laundry, which dried almost immediately under one's hand.

This afternoon, many of us will probably iron, to get this clothes business out of the way, while watching the stove cooking our, supper.

Today I would like to give you a meat recipe with a flavorful sauce, either using beef, veal or chicken, whichever is most practival, and which when served with noodles or rice makes a delicious meal. It is called Beer in Herb Sauce, a fricasse variation.

2 pounds of beef stew meat, cut in 3/4 to 1 inch squares.

2 large onions, sliced 2 tablespoons of lard or fat Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 2 tablespoons chopped 'chives or 1 blespoon chopped leeks or scallions.

Wednesday, October 28, 1959 1/2 teaspoon chopped chervil 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups thick white sauce (or canned mushroom soup) Juice of one lemon In in a casserole or a Dutch oven with a close-fitting lid, saute onions in the lard or fat. When they are faintly yellow, sear the meat lightly, but do not brown. Add salt, pepper, and enough water to cover. Adjust lid tightly and cook over low heat for 45 minutes. If a pres sure cooker is used, the same procedure should be followed, but reduce the cooking time to 20 minutes.

In a saucepan, combine the herbs and butter and route for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat. Add white sauce or undiluted mushroom soup.

When the meat is tender, strain off the cooking liquid and let the fat comE to the surface. Either remove it with a spoon or float some ice cubes on top to chill the fat, which can then be easily lifted off. Return the fat-free liquid to the meat, add the herbe sauce and reheat. Stir in the lemon juice, taste for seasoning, and serve with your rice or your noodles. This should serve eight persons.

As I told you last week, West was to hold elections, to determine whether or not our fair little town should sell hard liquor or not. Well, from now on they will, for the election turned out roughly 7-to-1 in favor of selling not only beer but the hard stuff also, which naturally had me rumasaging among my recipes, for I'm a recipe clipper from way back, and I have run across something "special" a dessert calling for sherry or red wine which can be served hot or cold and a plain Pound Cake, Angel Food or Sponge cake making a perfect accompaniment to it. They call it Zabaglione (za-bal-yo-nay.) in Italy. but it is delicious. Piled soft and moist in a tail glass, the wine-fortified dessert takes you simultaneously by the nose and palate, and gives a gentle festivity to any meal. Now with the holidays right around the corner, try this on your family and then again for Thanksgiving and Christmas insted of the usual nog punch, negs, etc.

Basicly it is nothing more than egg yolks, sugar and sherry or wine and a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg-whichever you perfer. Yet, it has to be made exactly so. For you who have a lot of eggs this is a wonderful way to utilize them, for the market prices have not been too favorable to you lately.

Co m bine six eggs, a pinch of salt and one-fourth cup of sugar in the top of a round bottomed double boiler. Beat with a rotary beater until light lemon in

Wednesday, October 28, 1959 colOr. Add one half cup sherry or red wine and beat again. Place over gently boiling water and cook, beating constantly, until mixture is thick and frothy — about five minutes. Pour immediately into tall glasses. This recipe should give four portions.

If you're out of wine or sherry, rum or a bit of brandy can be used. Those of you who do not like alcoholic beverages, may use plain o:a,nge juice to complete satisfaction. Try this recipe on your guests the next time you entertain.

HaVe a nice weekend, drive carefully and stay lovely.

Fraternally, The Editor's Wife ( LODGE ANTON J. CERMAK NO. 53 Corpus Christi, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters, Lodge 56 held its regular meeting on October 11, 1959. 'there were many things discussed and I want to specify this one point especially: Proceeds of items donated by lodges at the Dist.

Meeting. Members of District 7 that did not get to react my article in the Vestnik dated Aug. 13, 1959, please • take time out and read this same article.

"In a special called meeting of the offices of District 7, it was agreed and passed that any lodge that wishes to help raise the District Youth Club Fund may do so by setting up a booth of their choice, sell chances or articles or auction itenas at the next District Meeting which will be held in Corpus Christi — Percentage of net proceeds can be divided as each individual lodge requests. All net proceeds will be appreciated and will be used accordingly.

Please give this Our thought and let's week for this Fund."

My opinion of this motion is that it was agreed and passed that any lodge that donated gifts for raffling, etc. will receive a percentage of net proceeds.

Why not do it that way? Sister Betty Novosad of Lodge 161 La Parita told me that their lodge sold raffling tickets only in their lodge and percentage bf net proceeds will be given to District Youth Fund Good work Betty„ you are working for the good of the Youth in your lodge and also for the Youth of the District. Thanks for this wonderful gesture and working for the future so that your lodge too, can organize a club in the near future.

In every District meeting, lodges are being encouraged to organize youth clubs and their isn't a better time than now. I don't see a thing wrong if a lodge is whiling to raise funds before a club is organized. This way it proves that

the lodge is thinking of their youth and of the future leaders.

Brother Joe B. Hejny — vice president of the Supreme Lodge and also the State Youth Director, encourages lodges every where in the state to organize Youth Clubs.: if he is willing to work with the youth, why not every lodge that is interested, each to his own good and benefit.

Thanks to those who helped with the preparations for this eventful day; decorating stage, setting up steps, helping at the barbecue pit, etc. Thanks to Sister Clara Hejl and the young people for putting on such a nice variety program of talent, handcraft, and the queen's contest.

Men showed their heels. Women screamed and shielded their children.

Now you'd expect an escaped lion to bolt for the tall grass. But this king of beasts had been in captivity so long he took a quick look at the world and then turned and walked back into his cage.

Obviously, security was more desirable to the lion than freedom.

His behavior demonstrates that to be free you must be independent.

When people over-emphasize security — or dependence — they can't help but lose some of their initiative. You see it in the way people move and more rely on government instead of on themselves.

It would appear that people don't realize that whatever they get from the government must eventually be paid for by them or their children. This type of "security" may be easy to take at first. But it is habit-forming; after a while, people may prefer this false se. curity to fred;lom. / • t.„. • Can You Afford to be a "fp ie Lang• nage" American?

Spurns' vzal pueku a zabodil do lesa. 8e1 rychle, skoro be2rno po strani dov tu stranu, kde tekl potok. Dobehna knemu shodil se sebe gat a skoeil do yedy. Tam se valel a stenal bolesti. Po chvili vylezi, oblekl se a eel volnYm krokem dome. Tel° jeho se chvelo a nohy mu klesaly. Mesic stal vysoko, kohouti ku ropeli a chladnY ranni vitr foukal od vody. — Prijda domt, klesnul na dvere a klepal 2ena, mu mleky otevrela. On Sel teti mid

ky do komory, povesil tam puncu, vzal pulcar s koralkou a pil, dlouhYm dou g -kern.Pasilhuprkylseoi.chem. Ve svetnici bylo ticho — deti ze spanku dYchaly odmerene, hodiny cvakaly a mesic svitil oknem tak jasne, le still a 2idle vrhaly stin.

Spurns' pedal skripati zuby: "Al toho fousate dostanu — no, chran td Buhl" — 2ena mloela. — Po chvili podal se kroutiti a vzdychati.

Zena se lekla: "Co je ti?"

"Ando, dones mokrou hadru a polol mi ji sem; dostal jsem!"

"Jelie, Maria! co ja neet'astna si podnu?"

"Mld a nekrie, at' nepobourie lidi!"

Spurna, vstala a prikladala mu studene ebklady. K ram' nernohl bolesti 112 vydr Zeti — poslal si pro lekare,. Lekat asi za tri hodiny prijel, ohledal Spurneho, vytahl mu nekolik brokil a kroutil hlavou.

"Cela rana je v 2ivote! Streva jsou prostrelena — nechte se zaopatriti". Spurns' zat'al peste a peny mu vystoupili z Odtud eel lekar k myslivcovi a zavazoval mu ruku.

U SpurnYch bylo place a beclovani. PostrelenY nechtel napred o zaopatrovani ani slyeeti — a2 odpoledne, kdy2 u.2 mel zanet, zavolali pa.na fardre. Nespravil s nim veak mnoho! NemocnY mluvil s ces ty, proto mu udelil knez jen posledni poinazani a odeeel smuten: "s Panem Bohem" domtt. Lide po decline vychazeli vrata, klekali a bili se v prsa a kdyZ knez zaeel, ztiistali stati a vypravo vali si k3.7vajice a potrasajice hlavami.

Pod SpurnovSuni okny stale pino deti poslouchali, jak kridel bolesti. K veeeru, kdy2 zanet dostoupil nejvyeeiho stupne, utigil se. Matka jeho a 2ena sedely neho a o getiovaly jej. Pojednou podal ekrabati nehty po zdi. Matka vstala a nahnula se k nemu.

"Josefe, co Mae?" "Musim posypat testament."

"V2dyt' Zddneho nedelaPs." "Co bych ne? Tamhie le21," ukazoval do prazdna.

"Jdi pro predstaMatka eeptala veneho — on chce dela.t.i posledni vu11" Spurna si hodila, na hlavu vlriak a spichala prye. Matka prisednula k posteli, vzala star, ;7 "nebes !die" a. modlila se mod litby za urnirajici. Menu dite sedelo na kolibce, hralo si se 1Ziekou a ukazavei na postel, za2vatlalo "tata!"

Postal zapra gtela, nemocriSr zastenal a ne2 rnatka priskoeila, mel odi v sloup.

Matka klesnula u postele na zem a sky tala usedave.

Kdy2 predstavenS7 prisel, bylo u2 okno otevreno a hromnieka hokela.

Paadavky, kladene na kandidata do kadu guvernera, jsou pomerne mime.

GuvernerSti kandidati jsou v nekterYch statech nominovani v celonarodnich vetejnYch primarkach. Tento system do yoluje' kaklemu fadne registrovanemu voliei kterekoli politicks strany, aby hlasoval pro eloveka sve strany, ktereho by chtel miti kandidatem do ilradu. V jinYch statech stave, se guvernerskYm kandidatem elovek, zvoleny na statni konvenci jeho strany.

V otazce delky guvernerskeho terminu se iistavy rriznYch statil rozchazeji. V nekterYch statech je guverner volen na etyry roky, v jinYch toliko na dva. Jedna se o to, aby etyrletY terrain byl fgeobecnY. Ve vetgine statti je dovoleno voliti jedince na jeden guvernerskY termin za druhYm; je v'Sak nekolik ktere nedovoluji volbu jednoho guvernera na dva terminy po sob& Volba vet§iny mistnich vefejnYch neteS1 se obyeejne valne pozornosti tole zenie, toliko pozornosti mistni.
