Mile sestry, bratii a ctena redakce nageho mileho Vestniku.

Ty nage vanoeni vzpominky nam zase utekly a pravi se, 2e ye vzpominkach je potecha a posila. 61ovek si ptipomind jake teZkosti a trampoty na svYch cestacla 2ivota pro2i1 a jakYm hlo2im a bodlaeirn pro gel, a jak Casto se o jeho trny zranil a co v gechno piekonal. Vzpominame co bylo v nas shy a nakonec si rekneme, 2e elovek piekona v gechno. A v torn poznani je opravdova posila pro 2ivot a pro vgechny jeho dal gi trpke skugky ktere nas snad nikdy neopusti.

Vzdor tomu elovek ma odvahu a pevnost k piekonani vgech 2ivotnich trampot. Bez techto sil, eili na gich uglechtilYch cite v srdci na gem, byli bychom nou vetrem se klatici a podlehli bychom

ka2kami.

Froto kcly2 vstupujeme do toho noveho roku piipomerime sobe, ze nejmocnej gi s tech mravnich sil, ktere byly eloveku dany, je laska, jen2 vede nes k zalo,2eni domova, k zaloleni rodiny a sna2eni se pro dobro sveho domova a sna2eni se pro dobro celku. My v gichni jsme pro 2ivot dostali tri yzacne dary, rozurn, cit a na gi vuli. A proto ke Stesti a spokojenosti eloveka je tfeba, abychom v gechny tyto dory uzivali nejenom pro sebe a svemu dobru a sve rodiny, ale my mame techto darii u2ivati pro lidske spoleCenstvi.

Mili spolubratri a sestry, ramohokrate na mojich cestach sly gim slova, ja bych byl davno vstoupil do va gi Jednoty, ale nevedel jsem jak do toho, nikdy jsem nemel pille2itost, by mne nekdo mohl vysvetlit jak si vase Jednota stoji, kolik je vas elent, jake pojistky mate, a co by to stalo k vam piistoupit. A piece mill bratii on byve, ve vagern okoli, skoro soused. Nechci tady rozebirat prof ste mu neiekli, 2e na ge Jednota ma ty nejle pgi„ a nejlaeinej gi pojistky, ale si myslim, 20 by jste mu i sobe udelali kdyby jste mu poradili by si stoji rodinu zaopatril u na gi Jednoty.

Povezte tern, kteri 2ivotniho pojigteni nemaji, a nebo maji na jejich pomery malo, ze si mohou zvYgiti, nebo si mohou vziti novou pojistku. Povezte jim o velicem vYberu pojistek, ktere nabizi nase Jednota, ktera pied nedavnern zavedla pro rodiny vYhodnou pojistku pro ochranu tech, kteri maji dluh na domoye nebo farm& Kdy2 tak jim poradite, ptipomente jim, 2e jednou budou miti radost, proto2e poslechli va geho hlasu.

Opravdu je mnoho tech, kteii lituji, nepoSlechli, nebo neopatrili sobe poji gteni v takovem obnosu, aby byla opravdovou ochranou. Va g organisator anebo vas soused, kterY jest elenem, kterY pfichazi nabidnouti yam vYhodne pojigteni pro vase ditky, man2elku i vas, zajiste je hlasem pkatelskYrn, kterY yam ukazuje cestu k spineni va gi touhy stati se eleny nagi Jednoty.

Zajiste ve vagem srdci a svedorni se ulehei veclOmim, 2e mate svoje mile, svo ji rodinu zaopatienou. Cteni • bratri a sestry. Co toto pi gi, stojime na rozhrani noveho roku 1960.

Opel obracitne novY list v knize nageho 2ivota. Na tento papir kladem VelkST otaznik a jsrne zvedavi co pro nas tento novY rok piinese. Bude to radost, nebo size v na gich oeich, ale jo„ vam vgem preji jen radostnY noVY rok.

Bylo-lo testa mot huste tac° kynulo a bylo-li fidke, bochniky se v peci rozlivaly, — "a zakalec na palec."2e prikryta aby testa v teple dobke skynulo.

Strana 7

VAS TN X WEST, TEXAS Zde jsou moje namitky proti zneni tohoto dnaniho elanku, tjikajiciho se zastoupeni spoleeenskjrch Glenn no, sjezdu.

Prvni jest, ze radovjr tajemnik nikdy nema a miti nebude Apinou kontrolu dlenu. Jak si rad stoji na elenstvu nejlepSi vi radovjr neetni. Dale, velice snadno se mnZe stati, ze tajemnik radu inalne na toto opatreni ye stanovach zapomene a spoleeenSti eleni jeho radu pak nemaji zastoupeni na sjezdu, co mute delati dosti znaenjr rozdil v podtu hlasti radu.

Proto navrhuji, aby tento elanek dvanact znel takto: "Add zastoupenjr na sjezdu s ykrn delegatem neb delegaty jest opravnen k jednomu hlasu na kaldeho pojiSt'eneho, spravne poplatky platiciho Mena nad Best nact roku stari, patficiho ku radu Sedesat dni pied sjezdein. Dale jeden hlas na kaZdeho pojiAteneho Mena kterk ma lhiltovjr Certifikat, vyplacenjr a jest spoledensldm Clenem dle elanku 89 a 90.

Paet opravnenjrch hlast v obou techto skupinach urei neetni. Hlavni iikadovny a neetni radu."

Srovnani spravneho patu hlasit ka,2dello radu neetnim Hlavni idadovny s neetnim radu jest zcela jasne. Jsou to ti jedini dva einitele, kteri fedi pfesne, kolik dlenn ten neb onen 'rad ma. Take, a,ti podnet ku porovnani poetu spoleeenskjrch Merin a celkoveho podtu fadovjrch hlasii neetnimu Hlavni Uradovny pova'Zuji za Upine spravne. Jiste jest, ze ndetni Hlavni aradovny na srovnani poCtu hlasu s neetnim radovjrm nezapomene, kdato aby na to pamatoval kaZdjr ze skoro sto-a-Sedesati tadovjrch fleetnich se tak snadno neda oeekava.ti.

Prilaen k to examinaeni zprave, zaslane do naSi Hlavni Uradovny 19. zaii 1958, byl dopis podepsanjr panem Haroldem E. Selkem, kterjr obsahuje pet bon o nichZ si tento pan vy2ada.1 dodateene informace. Jeden z tech peti bodil jest vydani v obnosu $37,430.73 vyplacene jako irtraty posledniho sjezdu v Temple roku 1956. Mysleli jsme, ze toto vydani jest dostateene opraVneno clankem 17 dneSnich stanov. Ale, tento elanek byl v poslednim sjezdu hodne useknut, take se da s jistotou predpokladati, 2e nekryl sjezdove vydani k uspokojeni Statnich Urednikti. Tento elanek 17 dnes zni: "Vgichni pravoplatne zastoupeni elenoye sjezdu (Hlavni nradovna, delegati a dfivejSi predsedove, jsou placeni z pie= byteeneho fondu Jednoty nad 104%. Toto vydani nespada do elanku 42".

Ten samk elanek, s dislem 45, pkijat ye sjezdu v Houstonu v 1952 zni nasledovne: "Cestovni vjrlohy a dertni plat delegatfi, 'dent' Hlavni nradovny pritomnjrch na, sjezdu po eras sjezdu a vakere

jine Utraty spojene se sjezdem plati se z prebyteeneho fondu Jednoty nad 104%, a toto vydani nespada do elanku 45".

AZ do uplatneni stanov sjezdu v East Bernard v roku 1932, sjezdova, vydani byla placena jednotlivjimi 'deny dle rozpoetu tajemnika Hlavni firadovny, kterjr byl zaslan na kaZdjr rad. Ale, majetkove pomery; pied sjezdem v East Bernard se zlepSily tolik, ze dvanactjr sjezd, konanjr v East Bernard v srpnu 1936, poprve pfijal opatreni, ze "se svolenim a die usneSeni vSech Clenu Hlavni Aradovny, Hlavni ptedseda, tajemnik a adetni maji privo prenesti v padu potreby Castku schazejici ku kryti administrativnich vjrloh z prebytku fondu funrtniho do fondu na vjrlohy Hlavni Utadovny."

A v podobnem smyslu mame po sjezdech nasledujicich ye stanovach elanky dovolujici Hlavni nradovne platiti vydani na fizeni Jednoty z ptebytku Umrtniho fondu. Dle toho, ze ta.dna, zprava prohlidky finanenich zalaitosti Jednoty, co se sjezdu tjrka, toto vydani nikdy nekrItisovala, byly ty elanky pro Stat uspokojive — az na tuto posled.ni prohlid! ku v roku 1958. Navrhuji, aby ten elanek jak byl pfijat ye sjezdu v Houstonu byl zase pristim sjezdem obnoven.

S bratrskjrrn pozdravem, Frank B Steiner.

"Jak jsem se zapomnel!" vyeital sobe, "rozrugiti takove tithe ptaee, znepokojiti je. Ale, ach, kdo by byl odolal?" omlouval na konec sam sebe. "Kdot by byl odolal?"

• Stara Anoka, vidouc vahavost sve pani, jala se ptemY gleti, jak by sama jr ptispela.

Kdyby byla v eas roli i dam prodala, u gla by vSemu protivenstvi, u gla by strachu a starestem, je g ji kagdou radost otravovaly a klidne spat ji nedaly.

Neg jak by mohla prodati dum rodu sveho, jak by zerntiti mohla pod cizi stfechou?

Stara, pani lnula velikou laskou k tomu staremu staveni, k nemu g ji poutaly nejmilej gi vzpominky jeji i rodu jejiho.

A pro tu lasku tolik trpela, pro tu ku musila sobe vyeitati, nezbude ji nideho, ne ji, ne &tem sirotam.

Snad nikdy neuvagila jak nalegi sveho postaveni; nyni dokraeovalo samo, stavic se ji pted oei a napinujic s.rdce statenino strachem a itzkosti.

Proto zalomila rukama, kdy Hollandr ji kapital z nenadani vypovedel, proto slygel Tonik v noci jeji plat.

Chvilemi klesla ji mysl opine, chvilemi upadla ye svou starou chybu, doufajic,

VESTN ge ner4:Mog;. ze snad jegte se to udrii • aby tak v nived pfigla. Pak zase obchazela ji hrtiza a malomyslno,st.

Anoka vedela, ge je velmi zle, ne g nadeje se iipine nevzclala. Prosta, verna gena doufala jmenevite mnoho od Dupala, domnivajic se, ge ueenY pan ma nejen vgechnu moudrost a ueenost, nYbrg penize. Proto nalehala na svou pani, aby se mu iiptinine, bez ostychu svekila, a kdy bez fispechu za nejakY eas domlouvala, rozhodla se sama, ge vgecko zjevi. Ale jak? Ji se nikterak neslu gelo, aby mit za pani vgecko povedela, a ,pak kde? I ptipadla na jinY prosttedek.

V nedeli odpoledne, kdy babieka sedfimla a Irena metkala u Reginy, zastavila Anoka v kuchyni Antonina, ubirajic se za :nest° do lesiku.

Antoninu glo tentokrate na osmnacty rok. Byl veselY, dost lehkomyslnY. Neg ✓ tu chvili, kdy od Aridity slzami se zalevajiei a ptervane vypravujici v gecko uslygel, ukazalo se, ge mel Potteek pravdu kdy "LehkomyslnY, ale je dobreho, tuze dobreho srdce!"

Tonikovi bylo site znamo, ze babieka bYva nekdy v fizkYch a ge je Holland= rovi dlugna, ale ge by se veci takto mely, o tom nemel ani zdani.

"Vgiml jste sobe, ze za ten kratkY eas babiece vlasy skoro zbelely? Chuda.k sta rd, ona by to nepfeekala —" Anoka nemohla dale a studentovi sevrely se bolestne utroby. Hledel na statenu, ktera se rodietim jeho, jemu i sestt e vgecka obetovala, az pti gla do techto konein. Oei se mu zalily slzami.

Andka vylogila mladikovi svuj navrh.

On ji vgak pterugil.

"Intjdu na gida", promluvil prudce, "on musi poekat ten —" Slugka mela jej co krotit, az koneene polevil a slibil, ze tak utini, jak ona radi.

0 tech trampotach a svizelich Irena nevedela.

Od onoho ptedstaveni v zamku byla vgecka gmenena, az i babieka si toho vgimla a sobe uminila, ze podruhe nedovoli, aby vnueka neeeho podobneho se neastnila.

"Je bez toho jako para a vgecko ji hned dojme a ji gkcvdi," pravila Dupalovi, kdy o Irene rozmlouvali.

Veeer onen ji hiuboko dojal.

Bylo ji prvni chvili jako ye snu, byla

Ve Sttedu,'dne 13. ' Tedna 1959 jako okouzlena. Vgeeko jeji rnygleni kit hrabeti se neslo, na nej veude vzpominala. Onen veder byl ji zdrojem blaha i zarmutku.

A tu vkradaly se ji do srdce slastne domneni a vira nevinneho, nezkuSeneho ditete.

Za nedlouho pak nemusila se ani lekati ani tesiti,ze mladeho hrabete potka.

Jednoho odpoledne koneene se odhodlala, ge Mijde do zarneckeho parku; vyzvala Reginu, aby ji doprovodlla. Kdyg ptigly ku zdi parku, na ni g staly kamenne sochy antickYch bohn a bohyti, zahreel z brany koear, ta genY etytmi bujnYmi korimi. V lehounkem povoze sedel pan Vilna, hrabe Jiti a mlad gi jeho bratr.

De'veata stoupla stranou vice ku zdi; Irene zataJil se dech, Sotva ze byl viiz vyjel, posttehla hrabete. Sklopila zrak ale jig' jej pozvedla a urtela, jak mladY hrabe uctive ji pozdravil a se usmal.

A jig ptejel — vuz hreel dal — az zmizel mezi domy. Regina musila Irene ptipomenouti, aby Na dvote potkaly zahradnikovu dceru, ktera se s nimi zasta.vila.

"Videly jste mlada hrabata? Jedou prye."

"Kam?" tazala se Regina.

"Mladgi ke zkougkam a hrabe Jill snad na testy — ted' nejprve do Prahy."

Jegte chvili rozmlouvaly, t. j. Regina se zahradnikovou dcerou. Irena nepromluvila ani slovieka, az dru gka jeji sobe toho vgimla a ji se v zahrade tazala, co by ji bylo, ge je nejak bleda.

Irena se usmala a zaptela. Jindy nejradeji prochazela se, mezi stromy v parku, tentokrate ziistala ye kvetinove zahrade a postavila se ku zdy, je g z venku byla vysoka, v zahrade v gak jen po prsa sahala. Irena stanula tam, odkud bylo videti na mesto, cllouhe predmesti i dale na pra gskou silnici, vinouci se belavYm faborem za mestem do maleho navrgi mezi lukami a stromy. Tam upiralo mlade devee tmavY, zaml genY zrak, uvidela koneene koear genouci se silnici.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK .

Almost Everyone Can Your Vestnik Goes Into Have Life Insurance 4Sth Year ©f Six out of every seven American families now have life insurance, and few Publication With last week's issue, you will notice that our SPJST Vestnik has completed its 47th year of service to its membership.

For the last three years of this time your Editor has been entrusted with the management of this publication, his efforts were aimed toward one goal, that of serving our Order as much as possible, to assist our Organizers in their work and that of the Youth in their activities in the brotherhood. It has been his aim to serve each and every member in our organization equally as much as serving our lodges and districts to the best of his ability.

Accordingly, when the Editor saw the need to prompt the brotherhood to a greater activity, to greater creative work, it was because that was the only way to achieve success in their efforts.

The above set goal will continue to be persued in the coming year — the 48th year.

We stand ready to support every good effort, every good cause, without taking sides of any group of its proponents, which has shown us from past experience, as the best course for our Order.

The Vestnik will continue to work along these lines so that our brotherhood with its activities will enjoy the best reputation in a ever wider and wider circle of readers, so that every member of our brotherhood, as well as our Order be respected in the proper degree they merit.

We know, that i n spite of our most well intended efforts to please you all, even in this 48th year, there will be some few, who will not be entirely happy.

Al as, it is a mortal soul's lot to reap some dissension, but we have a whole roster of good friends, who appreciate cur honest efforts put forth on the Vestnik and give us the moral support to mix that bitter with their sweet. Many thanks to them.

Individual Social Security .Life insurance is a social force. Human life values — that is, the character and the ability and the earning power of individual citizens — constitute a real asset to the nation. These human values must be protected. The perpetuation of family relationships — the love and affection of human being.,,.. — must become of chief national concern. Life insurance affords a plan which most adequately provides such individual social security for the American people. Life insurance is dedicated to the service of humanity.

It is the American answer to the important problem of self-respect and independence. Only the productive can be free, and only the prudent can be safe.

Here, in the United States, each man protects his own independence by frugality and thrift. That is why life insurance has become the business of over 121 million Americans, forming in a pattern a true democracy. It is the collective efforts of some 124,000,000 men, women and children from every walk of life.

The political and the economic freedoms of America flow through the same veins, and cannot be separated if the nation is to survive, There can be no political freedom without economic freedom, and so life insurance is a vital factor in a large measure in assuring both.

A well-insured nation is a strong nation, because, under the social implications of life insurance such a nation, is the unnamed ultimate beneficiary of every life insurance contract of its citizens. Economically, financially, and socially, America is the strongest nation because it is the best-insured nation. Its citizens, who constitute only 7 per cent of the world's population, own over 74 of the world's total life insurance in force.

Because the American people have been willing to accept responsibility for their own family security, rather than to depend entirely on government, American families face the future with a greater confidence and assurance of their financial well-being than do the people of any other country. In no other country have the people built stronger bulwarks against personal adversity. In no other country have the people been so well off. Nowhere else have they, by their common effort, gone so far in fortifying themselves against the effects of disaster, in softening the blows of misfortune, and in sharing the hazards and hardships we must all face.

Life insurance is a fundamental institution of Democracy—it is Democracy.

Vt STNt K— WEST, TEXAS The security the owners of life insurance have built, and are continuing to build, is a source of national strength in this struggle for the preservation of our American free enterprise system. On the face of it, life insurance appears like an investment in the security of the individual. It is more than that -- it is an investment in American democracy.

Obesity and Morta Rates The Society of Actuaries, an organization composed cf actuarial experts from major insurance companies and statistical fields have published a paper entitled 1959 Build and Blood Pressure Study. The study is the largest statistical investigation ever undertaken in the health field.

The investigation covered nearly 20 years experience of 26 large life insurance companies under some five million Policies with respect to build (heigh• and weight) and almost four million policies with respect to blood pressure.

The experiece was tabulated seperately for men and women, and separately on cases where overweight or hypertension were the only findings and on cases where departures from average weight ea blood pressure were accompanied by other minor impairments.

New average weights and heights were developed and the incidence of underweight and overweight determined. The new average weights indicate clearly that women today weigh distinctly less than a generation ago while men tend to be heavier than their fathers.

The weights of women in their twenties average at least five pounds less than three or four decades ago, at all ages women now tip the scales several pounds lower. This is partly due to lighter clothing, but reflects mainly the established vogue of slenderness.

In contrast the average weights of short and medium height men in their twenties and thirties are now about five pounds higher. The increase in men's weights at other ages and also for tall men has been generally smaller.

While the proportion of overweights has changed little over the years in both sexes, the proportion of men who are underweight has diminished while the proportion of underweight women has increased' appreciably.

Average weights for both men and women increase with advance in age through the fifties. However, the pattern of the increases in weight is different in the two eexes. Men start putting on weight in the twenties and level

Strum 13 frwtiisq in into the thirties and do not usually stall putting on weight until after the midthirties.

The massive study of mortality according to variations in build, which included over 130,000 deaths, brings out that marked underweight is now much less serious than in the past, but he excess mortality associated with overweight remains about as high as found in earlier investigations 25 and 45 years ago.

Compared with these earlier studies, the most pronounced change is a decline in the mortality of tall underweights and an increase in the mortality of short overweights; mediumheight overweights in their twenties and thirties also show somewhat higher mortality.

In the new study the lowest mortality at ages 30 and over is found among those 15 to 25 pounds below average weight, in both sexes. In the teens there appears to be some advantage to a slight degree of overweight.

Adult men with weight 20 pounds above average (which is 40 pounds above their best weight) incur a penalty of about 10 per cent higher mortality than average; this is 25 per cent-higher mortality than that found among best weights. Men weighing 35 pounds above average are subject to 25 per cent higher than average mortality while weights 50 pounds above average are associated with an excess mortality of about 50 per cent.

Women stand up to added weight better than men; the relative mortality of women overweights is somewhat lower than that of men, particularly for WHEN CHANGING YOUR ADDRESS USE THIS COUPON Supreme Lodge, S.P.J.S.T.

In general, the excess mortality among underweights tends to decrease with time, while that among moderate and marked overweights shows for the most part an upward trend, The excess mortality among overweights reflects primarily excessive death rates from cardiovascalar - renal system, diabetes, and diseases of the digestive system (such as gall bladder disease).

Diseases of the heart and circulatory system account for most of the excess deaths among overweights. The mortality from coronary artery disease increases with increasing degree of overweight but is generally somewhat lower than from diseases of the heart and circulatory system.

The investigation presents some interesting findings on the mortality of overweights who reduced. It shows that weight reduction pays.

Women withstand high blood pressure much better than men; the relative mortality of hypertensive women is lower than that of men.

In both sexes the lowest mortality is found among those with below average blood pressure.

In general, the excess mortality of hypertensives tends to increase with time.

The excess mortality among persons with elevated blood pressures reflect primarily the excessive death rates from the cardiovascular-renal diseases.

Diseases of the heart and circulatory system accaunt for most of the excess deaths among those with elevated blood pressure. Mortality from coronary artery disease is at a slightly lower level than that from diseases of the heart and circulatory system among men but is about the same or higher among women.

The investigation includes an experience among men with elevated blood pressures who were found to have a favorable electrocardiogram and also sonic:, with both a favorable electrocardiogram and a favorable x-ray of the chest. In such carefully selected cases, small elevations in blood pressure were associated with little if any extra mortality.

Overweight in combination with elevated blood pressure appears to portend Much increased mortality. Where the two conditions occur together, the mortality rise is much greater than can be accounted for by the two conditions considered separately.

Persons who are overweight or have elevated blood pressure in combination with albuminaria are similarly subject to significantly higher mortality than

V t STNIX— WEST, TEXAS that associated with each of these conditions separately considered.

A history of two or more cases of early cardiovascular-renal disease in the family, when found with overweight or elevated blood pressure, is also associated with markedly higher mortality, predominantly from heart disease. )• •( TO ALL OFFICERS, ORGANIZERS, YOUTH LEADERS, AND ALL MEMBERS OF DISTRICT THREE

Reports From Loca Lodges TO ALL MEMBERS OF DISTRICT II

GRANGER, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: After careful and studied consideration, I present myself to you as a candidate for the position of District Director of our District II of the SPJST at the coming Convention to be held in San Antonio in June of 1960. It is not only my own desire, but also the wish of many other members of the Order, that I be a candidate. It has always been my longing to serve the Order whenever and wherever possible, and I feel that this is a challenge which must not be passed up I fully realize the responsibilities involved, but with my many years as a local official of Lodge Komensky, I feel fully and capably qualified.

At the present time I atr4 the alternate Director of Distriet Tfi and I assuredly feel that a promotion to a full Director is in order.

My own membership in the SPJST dates back 26 years. During most of that time I have been favored with some responsibile office `of our local Lodge and am currently serving as Financial Secretary. I have held this same office of Financial Security for the last five or six years. Incidentally, the family membership in the SPJST dates back to its founding on July 1st, 1897.

During the last several years it has been my privilege to serve on the Board of Education of the Granger Independent School District, which Board I am now serving;as secretary..

I fell that my, experience with the many years of SPJST work, as well as private and public business affairs, should qualify and recommend me to the position for which I am now announcing. I shall most certainly welcome your full support and assistance.

Sincerely and fraternally, Henry E. Vitek ) ett, Voter: "Senator, T wish you would give me a job in your office."

Senator: "Oh, no my boy, I don't want you to get mixed an with the government service. There's nothing in it. It rains a young man, takes away his ambition and gives him entirely false ideas.

And besides, I have promised .that position to my son."

VtSTNIK— WEST, TEXAS

Social Security News Our Brother George E, Are you planning to retire soon? it Brings Message One of the goals of the Social Security Administration is to pay benefits as promptly as possible to those persons entitled to them.

To assist in maintaining a regular income into the household after retirement, the public should be aware of a policy being stressed by the Social Security Administration, Al Bracken, District Manager of the Waco Social Security office, stated today. To receive benefits promptly after retirement, a worker should file a claim for his benefits , 30 to 60 days before retirement if he knows he will be retiring on a certain date. This advance filing will give the Social Security Administration and the person claiming benefits ample time to get information and evidence necessary to establish entitlement before the first check is due. It will also afford a widow and any children who might be eligible the opportunity to file for dependents' benefits.

Generally evidence will be required to prove the age of the retired person and his wife. This may be a birth or baptismal record. If there is no such record available, any record that is old and reliable• may be sufficient. If there is a child under age 18 or a child of any age who was disabled before age 18, it will be necessary to have a birth certificate for this child.

Eyidence of the worker's earnings in the taxable year ending before the date of retirement is also necessary. This proof may be a copy of the income tax withholding statement (Form W-2) or a copy of the income tax return for the self-employed person, By submitting this evidence on the first visit to the social security office future contacts may be unnecessary.

The above plan has been highly endorsed by large employers who have retirement plans supplementing social security benefits, by labor unions and by other organizations. —. Remember for prompt payment of your first social security check, "inquire before you retire."

o Fire,!ranee Gat ' ering Because like the fraternal life insurance societies, the Mutual Fire and Storm Societies have a .common background; that of preserving their Charter structures against the encroachment of commercial competition; the Vestink is happy to bring .the brotherhood the high points of the convention of Mutual Fire Insurance fraternities in regards to those practices which will protect said societies in their present structure of non-profit organizations.

At the 63rd Convention, held in Dallas a short time ago with the Texas Association of Mutual Fire and Storm Insurance company hosting 1300 members of their National Association, whose national headquarters . are in Indianapolis, Ind., Brother George Kacir, as delegate, stressed the need for all mutual fire the storm companies in the United States to become members of this body; saying that it provided members of Congress with necessary informa f ion to shoy why these companies should. not be taxed more than absolutely necessary: provided dignity to member companies all over the United States and rendered service to its affiliated societies from the nationel headcpiartei . .; who constantly study the needs of mutaal insurance companies to r ender valuable service.

Brother Kacir pointe.d out that the National Fire Protective Association was thaking studies and vas rendering engineering services into the study of the national electrical code; the flammable liquids code; the liqufied petroleum gas storage code, the code for the protection against lightning, standards on portable fire extinguishers and dust explosions, etc.

The Boatel of Directors has made arrangements with the Purdue University for a workshop on mutual insurance company management, which should be very beneficial to all of those societies.

"The National Association stressed the Youth Program for Fire Prevention," stoted Bro. Kacir," in an effort to prevent losses. You just don't raise the rates to nEet a loss befor e it happens, but you show the inured public how to prevent. a loss before it happens by promoting Youth Loss Prevention programs, educational programs and by spot checking

Wednesday, January 13, 1960 and accepting only sel ected risks."

Brother Kacir pointed out that the Texas State Board of Insurance is composed of three men and a commissioner, serving under the thr ee-member board; that there can be no lobbying with any member of the Board unless it is a public hearing and that no politics or favoritism can be shown toward any company operating in Texas. No employe e or member can receive any gifts or favors and "no meals, hats, or tips" from any company. Brother Kacir pointed out that the board passed upon thirty thousand differ ent policy forms submitted to them in the past two years. making a complete study for the provisions in order that the provisions of the policies would not be misleading to the public.

He also pointed out that th e "National Fire Protective Association" estimated a 50 to 80 per cent reduction from losses by pointing out the dangers in "welding" fires in towns and also on th e farm. They made a special study of hazards resulting from the plastic materials which are highly inflammable and urged that fire extinguishers not approved by the Underwriters Laboratories not be purchased by their membership.

Since the sessions in the Convention included all types of companies; fire, storm, automobile and other causalty in surance, it was impossible for one person to attend all of them in so limited time.

In the "Sales Management" session, session, stress was put on the need for more good sales people with the know;ledge of insurance who will pas on to others, the Mutual Story, and the training of young men for selling insurance. was recommended.

Another session spoke on the hazards of electric fences and electric fence controllers, saying that many farm controllers on the market are not approved by the 1\19 tional Board of Fire Underwriters and recommended that they not be put on barns and other buildings. A number of fires have been reported as a result of d efective or improper fence controllers attached to buildings. An investigation should be made in each fire to deteraAne cause and eliminate same in the future.

Moral Character of a pot ential new member should also he considered and also other fire hazards which might, exist on his premises, even before placing the insurance in effect. Many farmers and city people still install their own wiring, even though they may not be qualified or experienced in that type of work and their work then results in fire hazards. If the member is educated to fire hazards, the company will have done

Wednesday, January 13, 1960 him a favor and saved itself money in losses.

Brother Jerry Valchar, President of our sister society the RVOS of Temple, spoke on the session he attended, stating that the fire mutual insurance business needs more trained sales people and that the public is asking for broader coverages and blanket policies. He stated that many •representatives in his session stated that their companies take pictures of the insured property at the time the insurance is applied for and also after the loss.

One member speaking on "Underwritings" stressed uniform policies or standard policies are used by all of the member companies and that abandoned buildings should not be insured unless they are used in some way by the owner, and then only for as much as the building is worth for the purpose for which it is being used Another member reporting on his session, speaking on TV antenna losses stated that s ets should not be insured if not properly grounded. One company did not include the TV picture Tube on the presmise that the tube depreciates on a five year basis. Some contend that the picture tube cannot be destroyed by lightning because it is of such high voltage that it can w i thstand any stroke of lightning. Furthermore, before a picture tube can be r eached by lightning, either the tuner or the condensers would have to be destroyed by lightning.

The National Association represents nearly 1300 member companies with over $32 billion in insured property, representing a cross section of the mutual insurance industry, these highlights that were brought out in this convention were: That the selling of insurance of all kinds is the second largest business in Texas.

It was pointed out that by legislative direction, acting on Articl e 1:14,. the Texas Insurance Code would issue only one continuous license which would be good until revoked or cancelled. This was due to the wise handling of funds entrusted the companies, which belongs to the policyholde rs; that said policyholders received 66 per cent of the premium income and the 34 per cent accumulated thus brought up the ass ets of all farm mutual insurance companies, for about 35 per cent in one year. They also pointed out that there was not a single policy holder filing a complaint with the State Board of Insuranc e in the past years which speaks of satisfied policy holders which make a company grow. "So long as you provide your policy holders with the service which you

VESTNIX— WEST, TEXAS have been providing," the convention was told, you will continue to grow and prosper. And so long as this healthy climate prevails, there is not much liklihood that the Legislature of the State Board of Insurance will take any action to hamper your operations."

The convention representatives were commended for their efforts in behalf of their fellowmen in working for the good of their communities with little or no expectation of reward, but through a sense of r esponsibility to others. If all mankind would treat his fellowmen as fairly as you folks treat your policyholders," the gathering was told," there would he little need for regulations of insurance nor little n eed for government of any sort. Let us hope that men of your caliber will continue to operate your companies, that your companies will continue to grow and prosper."

The Honorable C. T. "Pete" Matthew, State Representative of District 34, State of Texas, speaking before the body complimented the association: "Toward new regulations and governmental meddling — Many times I have been contacted by your officers concerning bills before the Legislature. Yours has always been an attitude of wanting to be left alone. That is the best way to be. As long as you continue the sound management practices, as evidenced, I hope we can leave you alone."

Our Brother George Kacir has served in many capaciti es in the National Association during the many years he has participated in mutual fire and storm insurance work. He is highly competitent, respected by his co-workers in this field and through his efforts and those of his fellow workers, has lead this insurance field into one of phenomenal growth and prestige.

He was chosen Director on the board of the Texas Associat ion of Mutual Insurance Companies far the coming year, together with our brothers Jerry Valchar and Will Nesuda. Serving on various committees we find our SPJST members: Polasek, on the Auditing Committee; Reubin Lesikar as 2nd Vice President of above mentioned association; Dennis Bartek on the Resolution Committee.

Brother Kacir is a member of our SPJST Lodge Jaromir 54, here in West and is highly regarded by all his fellowmen in this organization, also.

The Editor )• •( We have issued 1896 certificates for the amount of $2,648,500 of life insurance in 1959. This is a record we should all be proud of. '

Bryan Lodge Enjoys Success in Its Lodge Woik Strana

A very inspiring report came from the Bryan Lodge No. 39 of our SPJST Order, as their president Brother Frank Vytopil writes.

He states that their first celebratiOn in their new Lodge Hall at Bryan met with a huge success!

The Editor is very happy that he urged the Bryan membership "to go forward corageously" in building the Hall, and if each and everyone of you in the Bryan Lodge now work in the lodge together you must achieve success!

The most important fact is that you now have your own Home where yOu can proceed at will with your lodge projects. With good management, even the debt will slowly disappear. In your lodge endeavors. Don't Forget Your Youth. Extend your hand to them and watch how they will work with you!

Looking forward to seeing you all soon and wishing you all much success, Your Editor

A New Job For You! Without any direct recommrendation we might suggest to any readers who happen to be dissatisfied with present employment, that there is usually an opening for window cleaners.

In the metropolitan cities of the nation there are large buildings with windows that must he cleaned, from the outside, often ten, twenty and more stories above the ground. The window .leaner depends upon a little strap for nis safety.

We have often wondered what might happen if the strap failed to catch, or broke in tWo, and if memory serves correct, just a few years ago it happened in New York. Only one hook caught and the helpless worker dangled in the air, 15 stories above the ground for 12 minutes, until a rescue team could come to his aid and drag him to safety.

Upon second thought, maybe your present occupation is better than you think it is!

"Secretary of the local lodge forwards the names of social members to the Supreme Lodge sixty days before the convention. If he fails to do so, such members lose their right Of representation MOTION TO CHANGE OR CORRECT at the convention," need some changing, BY-LAWS SUBMITTED BY LODGE 92 and here are my exceptions.

Amendments To Our By-Laws

Article 73.

Upon receiving application for membership, the president will then read the name of the applicant to be voted on. Then he will explain the method of voting and will ask the members to cast their vote. It is the duty of every member to inform the lodge if there is any reason that he cannot cast a favorable vote for the applicant. Then the investigating committee will be appointed, consisting of three members (two by the president, one by the vice-president) to investigate the reason for the unfavorable vote.

Article 74.

The investigating committee will then decide if the charges against the applicant are of serious nature and if such applicant leads a normally respectable life which corresponds to the requirements based on the Article 69. The comittee will after this investigation either reject or accept the applicant for membership.

By-Laws Committee of Lodge 92: Joseph Becan Aloisie Becan J. R. Bartek Original: Pre-Convention Committee on By-Laws Copies: Vestnik and Lodge 92 Dear Brothers: In order that the pre-convention committee on by-laws may understand your recommendation and could prepare it for acceptance by the convention, it appears that Article 75 should also be amended. Article 75 says that the applicant who receives five negative votes is rejected. Your recommendation would give the investigating committee the power to override the vote of the members. — Valcik.

First exception is that the lodge secretary never has and never will have a complete control of lodge membership.

How many members any lodge has from time to time best knows the lodge bookkeeper, also called financial secretary.

Further, placing the duty of reporting on officers of local lodge, be it the secretary of the bookkeeper may cause some lodges — and they probably will be many — loss of votes in the convention.

It may easily ha ppen that one or the other, secretary or the bookkeeper, forget this provision of the by-laws to report social members and the loss of votes to the lodge may be considerable.

For these reasons following motion to change article 12 will be in order: "Lodge represented by its delegate or delegates in the convention is entitled to one vote for each insured member in good standing, over sixteen years old, belonging to the lodge sixty days before the convention.

Further one vote for each insured member, who has his insurance certificate fully paid out and remains as social member according to articles 89 and 90 of these by-laws. The number of votes a lodge is entitled to is determined by the financial secretary of the Supreme Lodge and financial secretary (bookkeeper) of the local lodge."

Determining the number of votes a lodge is entiled to by the financial secretary of the Supreme Lodge and local lodge financial secretary is logical. They are the two and only functionaries that know exactly how many dues paying members the lodge has. Also, to place the incentive on the financial secretary of the Supreme Lodge to ascertain the number of social members of a lodge, to be included in that lodge's voting • r strength, will benefit many lodges; we may safely assume, that the financial MOTION TO CHANGE OR AMEND secretary of the Supreme Lodge will not OUR BY-LAWS forget this item and include it in his Dallas, Texas duties. Sure thing is that many local Dec. 27, 1959 financial secretaries would forget about Sisters and Brothers: including social members in their preBecause members of our Juvenile De- convention reports. partment, after reaching age sixteen Now let's take a closer look at our (16), are obligated to pay local lodge dues, (Art. 145, page 165) it is necessary article seventeen (17) included with the to change Article 12, the part stating: examination report that was handed to . . .

Selker. This letter con16 years of age . . . " Then, the last six tains five points of the report on which lines of this same Article 12, providing: the State Department wanted further

Wednesday, January 13, 1960 information. One of these points is an item of $37,430.73 as expense of the last convention in Temple, in 1956.

It seems that the prevailing impression was, that our article 17 of to-days by-laws amply legalized this expense.

But, this article was appreciably curtailed in the last convention and it may be safely assumed that this article did not cover this convention expense to the examiners satisfaction.

This article 17 to-day states: "All legally elected members present at the convention (Supreme Lodge, delegates and past presidents) are paid out of the expense of reserve fund of the Order over and above 104 per cent. This expense is not covered by article 42."

This same article, adopted in Houston convention of 1952, states: "Traveling expenses, per diem of the delegates, members of the Supreme Lodge and past Presidents of the Supreme Lodge present at the convention, for duration of the convention and all noiscellaneous expenses of the convention, are paid out of the excess funds of the organization over 104 per cent solvency. Such convention expenses are not included in the expense account provided for in article 45."

Up to the time of the legal effectiveness of the by-laws as adopted by the convention in East Bernard in 1935; convention expenses were paid by the individual members as determined by the secretary of the Supreme Lodge and were collected by the local lodges. But, the financial condition of our SPJST up to the time of this East Bernard convention improved so much, that the 12th convention, held in East Bernard in 1936 repealed the provision of former conventions that convention expenses are to be paid by members in addition to the regular insurance dues, and adopted the following by-law: "With the consent of: and in accordance with resolution of all members of the Supreme Lodge, the Supreme President, secretary, and financial secretary have the right to transfer to the expense account, if and when necessary, aportion of the surplus mortality fund sufficient for payment of all expenses of the Supreme Lodge."

And a similar provision, to the same effect, was adopted by every successive convention, permitting the Supreme Lodge to pay expense with management of the Order out of the surplus mortuary fund. Considering the fact that the convention expense. payment out of the surplus of mortuary fund never before was criticized by the examiners, we may assume that the former articles covering this expense were satisfactory to the examiners. with the ex-

Wednesday, January 13, 1960 ception of the last examination. Looks like this last effort is not complete, so ... please consider this article as a motion to replace present article seventeen with the one adopted in Houston and quoted above.

Flraternally yours, Frank B. Steiner • MOTION TO CHANGE BY-LAWS Submitted by Lodge No. 4 The members of Karel Havlicek Lodge No. 4 in Hallettsville had a discussion about the SPJST By-Laws. They agreed that some of the articles are not clear.

So De of these that are crystal-clear are ignored or not complied with. And some of the articles stood the test of time, have not been changed since the Order was founded, yet they are ireprinted without change every four years. ,After a thorough discussion of the matter, the members of Havlicek Lodge voted to petition the pre convention Committee on BY-Laws to do a complete overhauling of the present by-laws. Our Order does not have a constitution. blue book has the heading "By-Laws of the Slavonic Benevolent Order." We think that the committee should submit to the next convention "Constitution of the SPJST" which would be those articles which were good 50 years ago and will be good in the next 50 years. We do not have to reprint the Constitution every four years. Then the committee should nrerent another set of articles called "Bv-Laws, Rules and Regulations of the SPJST," which would contain only those articles which are changed from time to time by the conventions.

It costs time and money to go over everything every four years, and to have everything printed again. The conventions in the future should discuss and debate about the "Rules and Regulations," and leave the "Constitution" unchaneed. Our state charter shows what or Constitution should be.

The me rrthers of Havlicek Lodge No. 4 also know that there are several local lodges not holding regular meetings as required by the state law and by our by-laws. We voted to petition the Supreme Lodge to point out distinctly on the new credential forms that lodges failing to comply with all required lodge duties lose their right of representation at the convention. We need to revive the dormant lodges. The convention time is the best chance to follow the by-laws.

If we don't 4o what we are supposed to do before the eonvention, then one day of convention to elect the officers is plenty. No need to waiste time on bylaws.

There is also a great waste in the number of delegates. We recommend the

VEST Nt K — WEST, VDUS following changes of Article 6: "Every lodge that holds its regular meetings according to Fraternal Insurance Laws of Texas and our by laws (or Constitution) has the right to elect a delegate on numerical membership basis as to the mollowing scale: from 10 to 100 members one delegate; then for each complete 100 members. one more delegate, up to 500 meniLers; then for each complete and additional 200 members, one more delegate."

The members of Havlicek Lodge No. 4 hope that our recommendations will members of Havlicek Lodge No. 4 hope meet with approval in the deliberations of the Committee on By-Laws, The members also hope that the officers and the directors of the Supreme Lodge will see the advantage of preparing such credential forms that it would be also a reminder that the by-laws must be observed by every delegate who comes to the convention.

We also hope that other lodges will take notice of our recommendations and add their support to the improvements we propose.

There would have been lots more members attending had it not been for so much flu and colds that are going around in the member ship, so many of the small children couldn't come. We nape that next year it will be better.

How did all of you readers of the Vestnik spend the holidays? I hope fine and that Santa was nice to everyone!

The mommies and grandmothers caught it for they had to prepare the "something good to eat" during' the Holidays and plenty of it for all. They don't mind, however, for most of them were rewarded by their children around them at Christmastime — and grandchildren — caught in the excitement of Christmas!

Our good brother Will Trlica is at home again from the Veterans Hospital and we all hope he is getting along, fine.

I hope that the New Year will be as good to us all as the last year. We shall pray, hope and see. We shall also pray and hope that our membership will come to our lodge meetings in abundance this year. Maybe we should have those lunches more often and get together regularly at these meetings for socials after our business meetings!

One of our members got Fourth Prize for writing a nice letter to the Vestnik's contest. He is the son of our Brother and Sister August Meduna. Congratulations, August Jr., and keep on writing; It was nice and we all enjoyed' reading it! In writing yon will give someone else encouragement to write into our Vestnik also.

Through the Holidays, Brother and Sister Jerry Stepan had their son Alvin and family visiting the homefolks, while Brother and Sister Frank Stepan went visiting to Glidden to the Paul. Jurica's fairdly, At the August Meduna's and family, their daughter Ruth Ann and, her husband with children visited the folks, and Mrs. Naomi Krasue and her daughter Beverly from San Antonio, Mrs. Mary Harris, Mr. and Mrs. August Hofferek visited in Giddings on Christmas with their son Leo and family.

Our own children from Houston came home also Then on New Year's eve, Pauline Stasny from Houston visited her kinfolks here. I suppose lots of others had their children home, but I don't know their names, so can't mention them. Oh, I' forgot to mention that at the CMB Church they had a Christmas Tree and

krana 24 a nice little program and Santa handed out candy, nuts and fruit to the youngsters. It was nice!

I shall have to end for there isn't much more news from these parts and then too, I'm not in a writing, mood today, so can't seem to put it all down.

Next time I shall try to do better.

Some folks were saying that we are not writing as often as we should, but that's not as easy as reading letters from others and if a person should tell them to write, they probably would excuse themselves by saying "Oh, I haven't got time!" You see, that is the way it is.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Annie Mae Gilbert Secty. Lodge No. 26 ) • 4,1„, • ( WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls, First of all, a Harpy and Prosperous New Year to each and everyone of you and your family.

We had a wonderful year in our brotherhood ,aside from the monetary growof our Order) in communicating with each other througn our Vestnik's pages, and then during'she District Meetings, seeing you personally and making your acquaintances. I've treasured every minute of it!

Our Brother Pred Miculka of Schulenburg, writes about how his mother used to bake bread in Ivroravia which is part of Cechoslovakia It is in the Czech section of this week's Vestnik.

Although it has been more than a half century since they experienced these things, many in our brotherhood remember the procedure and since there are some in our present generation of homemakers, who have no conception of this art, and again those who still bake home made bread, I thought it would be of interest to all of us who partake in this `daily bread" to know how our Czech ancestors made it — especially those living in the country.

For the present day homemakers to understand the preparations, may I say as an introductlon, that in the old country, special brick ovens were built in which to bake this bread. It was this oven that our Czech folks refered to at "sPa va l za peel" 'as sleeping back of the oven, which was nice and warm after the baking. The oven was built to accommodate so many loaves, big as automobile wheels as Brother Miculka described them.

The olds country homemaker did not use pans in which to place her leavened loves but she wove straw mats from clean wheat straw upon which to place her leavened (dough and which she, with the help of a long-handled paddle, slipped into place in the heated brick oven..

My mother told me, they used to store their 'loves upon a high shelf wrapped in clean cloths and their bread remained fresh until they again baked in two weeks. She informed me one day, when she insisted that 'I brush my teeth, that

Dear Brothers and Sisters, In my writing to the Vestnik recently I stated that Clifton Trlica was elected as guide for the local SPJST Lodge. This was an error, J. J. Doubrava was elected guide of the lodge by acclarnatiOn. Today is the first day of the year 1960 and a wet one it is. For the last day of December, we received 1 and 1/2 inch of rain and my the wind was really rough. But we give thanks to God for all our blessings, and we look to Him for a New Year of health, peace and prosperity.

Now I would like to send my recipe for Prune Cake that Sister Betty jurica asked for.

Lastly, add f ruit cut fine and dredge with some flour. If desired, add 1 teaspoon lemon this rye breaid when hard was their

Wednesday, January 13, .1960 "toothpaste" that the hard crust cleaned their teeth most excellently.

To get back to Brother Miculka.'s description, which I translate freely: "In these modern times" states Brother Miculka,, "when we can purchase food ready-made, such things as our mothers never dared dream of, the loaf of baked bread is one of them.

"Our moredn bakeries pour out such a variety of baked goods. even the bread for which we pray "Give us this day, our daily bread," comes to most of our households ready for the table but which cannot compete in tastiness and nutrition to the bread baked , by our • dear Mothers.

"To bake a good loaf of bread was an art and every homemaker conssientously and with personal pride, strived to bake good bread. Baking good bread was her boast as well as a Holy law unto her family, upon which she uttered her `blessings' several times in the process of making, so that it would be good.

"When our mother brought out the last leaf," says Brother Miculka, "she would say: 'Children, we must start a new batch of bread before we finish the old batch.' From the attic she brought down a wooden tub with a wide bottom made especially for mixing bread, and she planted it in the middle of the room; poured some warm water into the tub so that the starter (a bit of dough left over from the last batch) could melt; she added a bit of yeast, (this yeast Was a brewer's yeast, for Fleishmen's yeast was not yet known), salt, carraway seed, and the required amount of flour Bo that the starter or sponge would start working. When the sponge had risen, Mother had prepared some "warmedup" rye flour — (which could be purchased at the bakers) half rye and half Wheat flour with some oat flour mixed in and which was hard-ground at home, and then the "'dance", as Brother Miculka put it, began.

Armed with a longhandled wooden lodle, Mother added to the sponge, first one kind of flour, then the other kind, as needed, she mixed, punched, turned over the dough, first to the right side then to the left, all the time walking around the tub, until the dough was of right consistency so that it would not stick to the spoon. Every housewife was ever mindful that the dough be properly prepared. If the dough was tob dry or hard, it would not rise properly, if too thin or moist, the bread would run all over the oven, in baking.

When the mixing was finished, Mother covered the tub to preserve the Warmth and let the dough rise in bulk Mama then made her fire in the long

v T II

wn, TExAs

brick oven With the well 'dried wood and charcoal left from the last baking. From experience she knew just how much wood was needed to make a roaring and crackling fire in the oven 'to bring the oven • to the desired temperature.

While the fire was heating the oven the dough was steadily growing in bulk in the Wooden tub.

On a flour-eovered bread board called a "val" Mother then took out chunks of warm dough, and formed the round loaves, blessed them, and then placed them on their separate straw mats, until she •had, made her ten loaares. Then she left them to rise further until the straw mats were well covered with the risen dough.

"In the meanwhile the ,fire in the oven had burned itself out, or• low, and• Mother with a long handled broom swept the remaining coals and ashes to the front of the oven in a heap and she was ready to "plant," as Brother Miculka puts it, the leavened loves on their mats, into,the oven.

"She seated herself before the oven and we children brought to her the risen loaves, which mother placed on a long handled wooden paddle, straw mat and all and with a little warm water she moistened the rounded loaves so that the crust would remain soft and become shining, she then blessed each loaf again, and "Shup" slipped the loaf into the oven. She placed them in orderly fashion like soldiers, ten loaves of levened bread! If she felt she needed a bit more heat, she would add a bit of kindling on the coals at the front of the oven, and then with the heavy sheet iron cover, close the oven door. In about two hours the bread was done, baked to a cherry red goodness When Mother took it out of the oven, the whole house smelled with baking and each loaf was just like the other -- about the size of a present day auto tire.

"Again• the worry was over for a while and for us children it was a morsel of nutrition and it was hunger satisfying.

There is no comparison between today's bakery bread!

"To bake good bread was an art and every new bride that came into a family, tried her very best to bake a good loaf of • bread for by her bread she was judged for her 'homemaking qualities.

"E'very housewife tries her hardest to have a good loaf of bread, and before that /oaf was finished, she had blessed it Several times, and we children praying `Give ' us this day, our daily bread' little knew -- for there were 11 of us -- what work and worry it created for our mother, so that 'daily bread' would always be in abundance. Sometimes, however, it

$trana 25 did happen that it was short, for children have stomachs like ducks — always hungry!

"I write these memories on New Year's Day afternoon, and I extend to all much success and most important — an abundance of good health in the New Year! Yours, Fred Miculka."

I have translated this letter freely, as, stated before and I trust Brother Mimi-, ka will find my description adequate The readers of the Women's Nook, too, thank him for this picturesque moment of bread making in his childhood and wish him and his dear lady a blessed, New Year!

To you who still make bread, at home, I know many of you who still do, I know you will doubly appreciate your modern kitchen conveniences and appreciate the work and diligence that these Mothers of 50 to 60 years back expended in baking their family "staff of life."

Have a nice weekend, all, with best wishes, I an Fraternally, Your Editor's Wife P.S. — To the recipe cn lIcetors: ne sure and read Sister Annie Mae Gilbert's recipe for Prune Cake, which Sister Betty Jurica asked for recently. Hope it turns out Okay for you and that you will use it often. Thanks Sister Gilbert!

Happy New Year!

Some praise for you also appears in our Czech section. )•4•L The minister asked Ephram to lead the prayer. It was Ephram's first attempt but he didn't want to dissapoint the pastor so he complied. Twenty minutes later found Ephram still praying.

He had prayed for everybody and everything he could think of. The congregation was becoming destless. Finally one of the deacons shouted Amen! Ephrani looked up and said: That's it! That is the word I have been trying to think ox since I started."

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

THE GOOSE or

THE EGGS?

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

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

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