Vitr jig neroznagel opojnou yarn getikovou, je g ji tak give ptipominala chvili, kdy poprve mladeho hrabete na bujarem koni spattila; stremcha odkvete la, bile kvety roznesli vetrove. A piece tu ra,da sedala, hledic ku stare ve gi v tohu, vedle nig nad jasminovfimi keti videla dve okna. Za nimi komnatka, na nig nemogno zapomenouti. Tam za sere chvile.

Z nich dovedela se mnohou podrobnost, o ktere babieka nevedela.

S pohnutim eitala Irena listy sve matky, tougici v nich na krutost maceginu, Heidi sve vrouci, ag vagnive city k mlade mu dUstojnikovi.

In the course of the regular monthly meeting of Lodge 92, Sunday, Jan. 10, with the usual January payments of policy premiums, re ports from the various committees, Initiation of newly elected officers, plans for future lodge activities, the problem of paying dues for several old members came up. All of these cases had been investigated.

While the problem took quite a bit of time in the meeting, the discussion as to what constitutes eligibility, and how to deal with same in the future came up.

Of the several cases of members who have been in the Order since its ince-o, tion and where Lodge 92 has been paying their policy premiums for several years, only one finally proved to be a "misrepresentation of facts," which brought outraged excressions from some of the membership, and everyone had an opportunity to exp ress his thinking.

In each case, when the member finally passed on to his Creator, Lodge 92 did not make any claims upon the family for refunds of premiums of any sort and it was decided that it would not do so in the future.

That, brothers and sisters, is is a tribute to the magnanimous hearts of those folks in Lodge No. 92.

4

When all of the membership had had their chance to express themselves, it was agreed unanimoosly, that even though one member did "take them for a ride" that the others on their list would not suffer because of it and that they would continue to be carried on by the Lodge.

It was also agreed, that any member in the future, would be investigated very thoroughly not only for his or her ability to keep up their premiums, but all relatives and children would be in-

It saddens one a little in knowing that conditions cannot be re-created for their benefit.

Some of us still remember how much our founding membership helped the Ttxas Czechs here in the various drives, but you also helped the Czechs in your beloved old country, whenever it was needed, and we honor you for it.

Thousands upon thousands of members in our Order alone could be found who could relate the many "little things" the mediocre work contributed by themselves in the long years, for the good of the Cz e ch name.

I am trying to visualize, in this new year of 1960, how Texas might look today, had not these various fraternal Orders and Societies been organized.

What would we have in these different Texas communities so far from each other, if it had not been for our Order and our Lodge Halls? What would we have today without the inspiration of our Czech periodicals, many of whom have vanished.

What kind of situation would there be among us today, had there not been our benevolent insurance societies, whim saved many a family, many a child from poverty and need. Where would we have met to encourage and help each other in this raw land?

V2STNi — WEST, TEXAS work which will be our prop and inspiration.

I look forward, for I firmly believe that our SPJST Order will continue to be a center of gravity, a center of strength and fortitude in our trying moments. In good will, harmoninous brotherhood, let us stand faithfully together and in this way best honor the founders, who today can no longer acclaim the glory of this Order.

Let us then, bestow to them our grateful rernernberance!

The second paragraph of Article 23 of our present By-Laws reads as follows: "All motions for amending the ByLaws, must be forwarded only to the Secretary of the Committee on By-Laws before March 31, of the Convention Year (1960) who publishes them in the Vestnik according to the Article in our ByLaw. "The Supreme Lodge as a unit, has the right to submit its recommendations for amending the By-Laws.

"Amendments may be made in the Czech or English language and are thus published.

"The Committee on By-Laws is obligated to consider the recommendations received at least two months before the Convention and have the amendments recommended by the Committee, published in the Vestnik."

We are calling your attention to this Article in order that you may send your recommendations as soon as possible to enable the Committee to work up these recommended amendments.

Quarts y Meeting Of The SupYeme Ledge A Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Supreme Lodge was held Thursday, January 14 at the headquarters of our fraternal Order in. Temple, Texas.

Shortly after 9:00 a m. Supreme Lodge President, Brother Edward L. Marek called the body to Order to a full roll call, which included our Attorney August Kacir and Editor Louis 0. Hosek. Bro. Joe B. Hejny, Vice-President of the Su.1,s reme Lodge was excused.

The minutes of the last meeting were read by Supreme Lodge Secretary Bro. ,john F. Chupick, and were approved after some minor corrections.

Correspondence on hand was cleared at this meeting, with the Board working in unison.

Brother Marek read his Quarterly Report, which after come clarification was accepted by the Board.

Brother Raymond Urbanovsky, read Brother Joe Hejny's Report in his absence as Vive-President in active charge of the Youth Program and Organizational work, followed by a report of the Director's Board of Comptrollers. This report appears in the English Section of

the Vestnik for the membership perusual.

Brother Chupick will prepare his report for the Vestnik on the above reports presented by the various officers, at this Meeting, in both the Czech and the English languages, therefore, it does not behoove the Editor to deal with them at this time.

The Editor points out that an agreement was reached as to what awards would be presented to the Candidates from the Districts to the Miss SPJST Contest which will culminate with a Coronation at our Convention next June in San Antonio, Texas.

Both morning and afternoon sessions of the Quarterly Meeting of the Board of Directors was very satisfactory, especially the Loan and Mortgage phase of our business which was conscientiously examined, with necessary recommendations.

In the time that our Directors have officiated in their present capacities they have gained much valuable insight and experience in their field, which has enhanced the growth and management of our fraternal Order. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their concerted efforts and harmonious good will.

lieu cing To All Members Of District Number Two .

Dear Members, For quite some time now I have been approached and asked to run for Director of District Two at our coming convention. A fter thinking it over and talking to a lot of you members, I have decided to do so.

I have enjoyed my work with the SPJST but there has been one drawback, I could not spend as much time at it as I would like to. Now if I should be elected your director, then I would chscontinue some of my other work and would then put in my full time to working for our Order. This would make me very happy as I would be doing what I like to do and I know that I could do a lot of good in helping our lodges in our district to grow. All it needs is time and work and I am ready to put in both.

So I am asking for your support in the coming election and if elected, I pledge to do all I can for all members and lodges. With sincere thanks for any cooperation you give me, I remain, Sincerely and Fraternally yours, Ben V. Mikolaj )• •(

Dime Box Friend Writes In some recent correspondence from one of our members in Ft. Worth, Mr. Buel Matthews stated: "We all up here sure enjoy the Vestnik and immediately scan through each issue to see if we can see any news from our old home town Dime Box. The humor of it is that my reading of the Czech language is very limited but when I see "Dime Box" I get my in-laws, Mr. and Mrs. Anton Tirk to translate it for me." Come on Dime Box, don't dissappoint the man.

Among other things in his nice letter he described how he came out to the Tirk farm to• help Papa-in-law load a sick calf to take to the Vet. Then in a postscript he added: "Incidentally the calf and Mr. Tirk are doing fine and both are eating again."

The Editor thanks Brother Matthews for his nice comments on the Vestnik, and hopes that he will continue reading the Vestnik for many enjoyable hours in this New Year. Let us hear from you again real soon it may be that we can get these Dime Boxers to write a letter to the Vestnik.

The 7th of March this year should be the occasion for a tremendous expression of faith in Massaryk's ideals. )• •( The average prices received by farmers during 1960 are predicted to show a further slight decline while the costs of iarm production and marketing will continue to rise, says John G. McIlaney, extension economist. This situation, he adds, will mean a slightly lower realized net farm income for 1960.

A few mistletoe plants growing in a large healthy tree probably will cause little or no damage. But too many of the parasitic plants can cause trouble if they are not remoced from the tree.

The Spring Meeting of District 1 will be held as planned Cunda,y May 15 which is on the third Sunday in May at Bleiblerville, Texas. Members of all the 34 Lodges of District 1 are cordially invited. — Please be sure to mark yout 1960 calendar.

Amendments To Our By-Laws MOTION TO AMEND BY-LAWS Sisters and Brothers: In article 23 of our by-laws are several not exactly clear provisions, requiring some changes, because they contradict the principles of assembly rule and are detrimental to membership rights.

The Second paragraph of this article restricts the right of members as to time motions of changes in our by-laws may be made, limiting them to March 31 of the convention year. As this article also provides that the by-law committee shall meet no later than two months before the convention (the call is for April 19), this time limit does restrict motions to that date, as there is no provision anywhere in the by-laws for amendments to the changes recommended by the by-laws committee or from any new, independent motions.

Also, the previous regulating the committee meetings is unclear and not exact. Misleading is the provision in the next to the last paragraph, stating "Recommendations for amending bylaws, rejected by the committee on bylaws may be submitted for consideration in the convention only by the lodge making the motion."

This provision may create the impression that motions to amend by-laws are restricted to lodges only, which of course

VASTNIK WEST, TEXAS is incompatible with members' rights.

Whenever a motion to amend bylaws is published as this article 23 demands, that motion becomes the property of all the members — and especially so of the delegates, and any delegate has the right to present any rejected motion in due time for consideration of the assembly.

My motion to amend article 23 is: "This by-law committee convenes immediately after the adjournment of the convention and elects from among its members a president, vice-president and secretary.

Names and addresses of these three officers of the by-laws committee shall be published weekly in the roll of officers, directors and committees on page two of Vestnik.

"Every motion for a change of the by-laws must be mailed to the secretary of the by-laws committee only. The secretary publishes every motion in Vestnik without delay in the language in which the motion is submitted — Czech or E:nglish.

The by-laws committee shall meet not later than two months before the convention, discuss and decide all submittel motions and the secretary shall publish accepted motions in Vestnik.

Motions received by the secretary after this meeting shall be considered by the committee meeting in the convention city two days before the convention.

Traveling compensation and per diem for these meetings shall be fixed by the convention.

"Every motion, submitted to the b y -lawscomiterdnghuls of this article, rejected by the committee, may be submitted to the convention by any delegate when article is pending.

"Motion to amend by-laws, not submitted to the committee according to the rules of this article, can not be submitted to the convention for consideration."

Bend With The Wind In Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind" one of the famous story's tart characters, Grandma Fontaine gave forth a bit of wisdom which is worth singling out for reflection right now when many people are finding it hard to sustain their courage. This is what she said: "We bow to the Inevitable. We're not wheat. We're buckwheat! When a storm comes along it flattens ripe wheat because it's dry and can't bend with the wind. But ripe buckwheat's got sap in it and it bends. And when the wind has passed it springs up almost straight and strong as before."

Bend with the wind — don't let life break your spirit. After your trials and disappointments and discouragements, spring back again like buckwheat. Don't let the things that can't be helped flatten you. Bide your time. Have patience.

And after the storm, straighten up and go forward.

LODGE NO 133 SAN ANTONIO To Lodge San Antonio No. 133 and Youth Club: Dear Sisters and Brothers: Crossing the threshold of the New Year, let us have a look back over the road we walked together in 1959; a road beset with many obstacles. Though we may not have accomplished all we planned, desired and attempted, we can say with pride that we have done well. Many necessary changes had to take place in our planning methods. particularly so in our activity practices. There have been many reasons for it, and I am sure we will face the same situation in the future, because changing times and . conditions make it imperative that methods be revised and adjusted.

Our Youth Club has grown in membership during the year, which is indicative of its continued and growing importance to our SPJST. For this success we are obligated to our organizers, and I hope that also in this year they will try their best to bring into our Youth Club as many new members as possible.

Now, I would like to thank officers and members of Lodge San Antonio No. 133, and all the good people from other lodges, and also to our friends, nonmembers, who helped to build our Youth Club, for their big support in a really brotherly and sisterly way. Many of them later joined our Organization and we are glad to have them as members.

As the new year begins, I think that we should all stop and take heed and look at what the problems are ahead.

Everybody knows that only good methods and cooperation of members are going to be the means and way of reaching our goal, and I know that all members in our meetin gs will exchange -ideas and in all probability come out with

many recommendations where this can be accomplished. It should be niseus,ed in our meetings, and eteryone should say what would be the best for our Youth.

At this time, I would like to thank all Youth Club Officers and members of the committees for their services, understanding and splendid cooperation, to all mothers, children and teenagers for their help in making my job as Youth director an enjoyable one I wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. May the year ahead be rich in joy and satisfaction, and may you find real happiness in the worthwhile work you do for the benefit of our Youth.

YOUTH k TEENAGERS OF LODGE NO, 84 Dallas, Texas Dear Readers and Friends, Well, here the new year is underway, and it looks as though I will be writing to the Vestnik about our teen-club activities once again this year. I was very happy to have been re-elected Entertainment Committee Chairman for the year 1960. It is a great responsibility and I hope that I might meet the necessary requirements and satisfy my fellow brothers and sisters with sufficient entertainment. Assisting me for this year are the following: Richard Sykora, assistant chairman; Penny Peshak, and have a prosperious year and if we have haxe a prosperious year and if we have the help and whole-hearted coperation which we had last year, I see no reason why we shouldn't. One of the leading persons outside our lodge who gave us more cooperation than anyone else was our faithful editor, Brother Louis 0.

Hosek. Words can not express how much we at Lodge No. 84 appreciate all the kind courtesies you have shown us throughout the past year. Thank you very much.

If we were to list all those who helped us, it would be a never ending list.

Mainly we want to thank our Mother Lodge, our Parents, and our two wonderful Youth Leaders. With all this help I am certain we will enjoy the new year

Wednesday, January 20, 1960 and we at the teen-club of No. 84 will continue to make SPJST even greater! If that is possible. Within the next few weeks I will send in a schedule of our activities for the year 1960.

Fraternally yours, Entertainment Committee, James J. Janousek, Chairman ) e 4, BILA HORA, YOUTH CLUB NO. 10 Dear Friends and Readers, The last monthly meeting was held December 5, 1959.

We would like to enlarge our membership so come and have a good time with us. You are invited to be with us.

Yours truly, Thelma Fojt • * • (LODGE NO. 133 SAN ANTONIO To Miss SPJST Candidates in Dist. 7 Dear Sisters, Friday, January 15th, started our "Miss SPJST" Contest. In fact, there are three contests in one, viz. between lodg e candidates; between lodges and between districts.

I do not know how many candidates we will have in our next district meeting to be held Sunday, May 1, 1960, at Lodge La Parita, No. 161, Jourdanton, but I hope we will see many there. I tried my best to get everybody interested in it, and now, it depends entirely upon you, sister candidates, how you will place yourselves. How many new members you will secure during the contest, will be very important, especially in lodges where there are more than one candidate, lige in San Antonio.

As district organizer, I am interested in all eighteen lodges of my district. I must be impartial and help all of you, not to favor anybody. To help means, in other words, to assist in doing, to cooperate, but not to do the work.

You must talk to your friends, neighbors and bring prospects to your local organizer. This is the meaning of the contest. I wish you good luck, and I had

VEST K — WEST, TEXAS the chance to meet some of you, I repeat again what I told you, though I know that only one of you can be the winner: "Do your best, Pm sure all members will help you, I want YOU to be the "Miss SPJST," because I like vov all alike.

Jaroslav Kleprlik District Organizer Ai 4 t LINDEN HALL NO. 66 WACO, TEXAS Dear Members and Friends, Here I am again with a few lines. I can't write as much as I used to, because of my hard schoolwork. I go to a Catholic School and there is much more to study than in Public School.

Our last Lodge Meeting was Jan. 3.

I attended the meeting with my daddy.

I must write a few words about our.

Christmas Party.

We had it at our Lodge. It was very nice. We had a delicious supper and our tables were decorated very prettily.

After supper we had a short program and then Santa came to visit all of us.

I received some nice gifts. Santa Claus was good to me this year I guess I have been a good girl. I also must thank our Editor and his sweet wife, Mr. and Mrs. Levis Hosek, for then ice gift they gave me. Oh, and thank you! Mrs. Parma, for the gift you gave me. Oh, yes, there is one more thing that I don't want to forget; what a surprise it was to me to be named third place winner in the letter Contest! It is wonderful to be so lucky. Thanks again.

Our next meeting will be February 7th. Hope to see all of you at that meeting. I'll see you soon.

Fraternally yours, Helen Kolenovsky Dear Helen: We too, are happy that you are Third Place Winner in the letter writing contest. There were many fine letters with so many beautiful thoughts in them, it was hard to choose. You Helen wanted all children to be remembered by Santa, as well as wishing all the members who read your letter a Very Merry Christmas. You have a generous, unselfish heart, which shows that you love people, as all of God's little angels do.

Editor and Wife • •t• • DALLAS LODGE NO 84 It has been a long time since I last wrote a letter to the Vestnik, but we have such wonderful reports, at Lodge 84. I didn't feel any need of writing.

I want to especially thank our teen age reporters, Jerry Ann Urban, for doing such an excellent job of reporting the teen age activities in the past year, and we are certainly looking forward to her letters in the future.

Strana 28

By acclamation, Queen Jerry Ann was elected to serve a second term as the Teenage Club's Secretary and reporter for 1960.

The of, , cers of 1959 deserve lots oi praise for the success they have brought to their club. With most of you re-elected to the same office, I am sure that the teenage club of Lodge 84 will be even more so successful in 1960.

I certainly want to give credit to our teenage President Richard Sykora. He is a very smart young man, and a wellliked leader. He is entering his third year as president. Richard has not onli proved to be a good president, but also my assistant in program planning. He has helped me tremendously with the plans for our recent Christmas Program and also the program of the - Annual Lodge Celebration.

Serving with Richard — also his second term — as vice president is Joe Ondrusek. We all refer to Joe as our future president. He too is a 'very capable leader.

Our treasurer, Juanita Janousek, deserves to be oomph re ee'ecl or ',akin, such good care of the club's money. Juanita, who is our past Queen, will turn this office over to another faithful memNodya Rejcek, who is the Club's present Maid of Honor. Nodya is new in this office, however she has proved her capability as a refreshment chairman for the past year.

Our Entertainment Committee chairman, re-elected for a second term, is none other than James Janousek. Providing entertainment for the club is a big task, but James has certainly done a wonderful job. James is also the prey• ent King.

Our Correspondence Committee plays a big part in our club. The attendance at our meetings largely depends on this committee. Rose Marie Kaska held this office in 1959, and has served remarkably well. Our new chairman for 1960 by all means is not inexperienced. Car ole Nemec accepted this office. Carole is our past 'Queen, past Secretary and the past Chairman of several committees.

Everyone loves to eat, so for the refreshment committee chairman, Cathey Adamcik was chosen. This is cathey's second year to serve as chairman on this committee since the club's organization, Juanita Janousek accepted the Miscellaneous Committee chairmanship. One never knows what may come under theft duties because of its title.

Our points system chairman Joe Onelrusek, and the Scrapbook Committee Chairman, Jerry Ann Urban, does such 1 a wonderful job that they were reelected to serve another year.

Strana 26 Bett y Staglik who represented Lodge 84 n the Third District Contest as a princess was escorted by James Janoueek. They come in with fourth place honors. Betty is a post treasurer, she has served on several committees, and she has also assisted inc in programs of our Mother Lodge.

Many thanks to the Pricesses and their escorts for all their efforts and a job well done.

As for the membership please cooperate the way you have in the past.

Support your officers and committees attend tne functions planned for you and by all means please attend the meetioF ;. Your make me very proud to be you r youth leader of Lodge 84 for 1960.

He told us I lie:- "the responsibilities and the functions that we are performing now are merely a practice of those that lie ahead." He added that "here in your ledge you are gaining experience for years to come." Time and tune again he stated that these, our teen-age years, are the most vital years of our lives. Mr. Eunice wishes to impress upon us the fact that not all young people are blessed with the same , advantages and family background that we are blessed with Following his speech. the meeting was adjourned in order that all could enjoy the lovely tea which followed.

We wcre very pleased that so many of the parents were aNe to attend. I'm sure all the teen-agers will agree that we are very fortunate to have parents .who are interested enough in our aetiy ities to participate in them also.

Besides the parents who attended, we were honored by the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Vrla; of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Jarman of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Henzen; Annie Steiner; and Mr. Frank B. Steiner. Of course our Youth Director.

Mrs. Peter, and her husband, Mr. Emil Petr were on hand for this event along with our Assistant Youth Director, Mrs. Ondrusek and her husband, Mr. Willie Ondrusek. As I have stated, Mr. and Mrs. Sid Pokladnik were there, each playing an important part in this affair. It was Airs. Pokladnik who brought the beautiful flower arrangement for the table.

We are very grateful to her.

We were very sorry that Mr. Joe B. Hejny was unable to be present at this meeting, but due to a sickness, he was prevented from being there. Also, out dear Editor and his wife couldn't attend We are hoping that in the future they will each be with us.

I believe a special word of credit is due to the past Refreshment Committee, Nodya Rejcek and her assistant Mary Ellen Pekar, for the preparation of the tea. They did a wonderful job.

Also to Mrs. Petr, Mrs. Ondrusek, and the wonderful mothers who worked in the kitchen, we extend our heartiest thanks. They are truly the greatest people around! We love them all.

In closing, I wish to say that we here at Lodge 84 wish each and every youth club in our state a wonderful happy and progressive year. May you be blessed in all your undertakings.

Sincerely yours, Jerry Ann Urban Secretary-Reporter
