Unora 1960, Jim F. Kueera Chas. Holasek Frank Veselka John Staga ) • 4, 4, Naopravu Clanku 51 Podavam navrh na opravu elanku 51, kterY je k nam, stargim elerram, nemilosrdnY. 2aciam vas, ptimluvte se, aby byl zmenen. Muj navrh je nasledovne: KatdY 'Oen, kterY ma pojistku A a B, a ma zaplaceno vice net polovic umrtnich poplatkir na sumu, ktera je v certifikatu poznaeend, at' je dal gich poplatku sprosten.

Zde podavam dukaz, 2e takova zmena je pottebna. Mam certifikat Cislo 9028-A poplatky jsou $1.75 m'esione nebo $21.00 roene. Jsem elenem jit 36 rola Za 35 rokft jsem zaplatil $735.00. Jeden rok jsem dostal sratku, ale je gte jsem musel

Ve stiedu, dne 24. Mama 1960 platit $11.64. Tedy zaplatil jsem celkern $746.64, a k tomu jette fuoky za 35 rocertifikat nese 4 procenta AroVt. Kdyt platim $21.00 katdYr rok ut celych 35 Dan, tak nevim, kolik to ptineslo MIA& Take nevim, kolik jsem zaplatil na sjezdove vyclani, na etvrtletni Hlavni fitadovne, na Vestnik a domacich poplatkt. Dle mYrch vYpoatil, jestli budu it jegte nekolik let, tak zaplatira vice net ma rodina dostane.

Dalgi dukaz pojistky podavam.

Cislo certifikatu B-4, poplatky mesiene $1.80, roene $21.60. Za 35 rola' cini frmrtni poplatky $756.00. K tomu ptipoetete etyti procenta uroku katclY rok. To nevim kolik je, ani nevim, kolik bylo sjezdoveho vydani, na Hlavni diadovnu etvrtietni a kolik domacich poplatkil.

Ted' elenka dostala slevu. Na misto $1.80 bude platit $1.35.

Tak jestli budeme tivi dal gich nekolik nagi dedici ctostanou merle net my tam dame. To je asi trest pro stare eleny, te zapomneli zemtit. Mladi eleni zaplati nee° pies $400 a maji pojistku zaplacenou na tisic, tieba jejich certifikaty nesou jen tii a pal nebo tii procenta ftrolcu.

To podava s bratrskYm pozdravem Jan Fojtik, Olen iadu 73.

Bratr Steiner se pta, otazku: Kdo pied loiii sjezdu ke schvaleni nominace provedene v distriktnich schtzich?

Nag tad jednohlasne odhlasoval, aby vYsledek ujednanY v okrskovYch schtzich byl ptednesen delegatilm sjezdu bud' distriktni ptedseda nebo distriktni tajemn:k.

Nekde ta price take die toho dopadd.

ZruSenim povinnSTch ptispevka tadovYch by se mohlo docilit lep giho itspechu.

Kdyby vgechna spolkova price se musela delat v Hlavni Satadovne, co g je dnes konano tadovYmi tatedniky, tak by v nisi SPJST budove v Temple nebylo mnoho mista, k pronajimani. Ze tako147 zpasob (system) fizeni ve gkere einnosti by byl nakladnej gi, je samortejme.

Ale vYsada, kterou na ge Jednota die statnich zakorna dr2i, je v tom smyslu, a take podle tech predpista he vgechny nage spolkove zale gitosti museji se vylizovat stavajicirn zgasobem.

See you all there, Eratcrnally, M. Vrla District III Organizer 4 0( e) I wish all of our faithful correspondents would send in their pictures and a brief history of their Lodge. It would surely h e lp us get to know each other better. I et'., not be satisfied with the things . e> tlifee a re going on in many of our lodges att they are now.

However some worth while things have been achieved. Look at our Rest Home!

Halve we not gained some prestige that is so valuable to us and our organization in this work? You are wondering why I am bringing' this up. Well is is fore the reason that I think that some 'mprovements can be made, on a smaller scale, in some of our Lodges.

Fifty years of progressive work in Dallas Lodge No. 84! Have you seen their improved Lodge building? How about Houston Lodge No. 88 and their home? Or Waco Lodge No. 66? Both Lodges in Fort Worth' -- 92 and 154 -and last but not least our Cottonwood Lodge 6 with their new building program for 1960.

So many other Lodges all over Texas are striving to improve themselves and are improving their Meeting places and Social "Get-togethers" why not you?

Please study the situation over in your community and see yourself where some improvements can be made. Bring your suggestions up in your next Lodge meeting. Brothers and Sisters give new ideas some consideration, good will and brotherly cooperation and you will soon see, where your lodge building is becoming obsolete, or is in need of modern improvements for your young folks and kiddoes. Think this over please and More important, ,get some action for the good and future of your lodge, to gain new young members that shall follow your footsteps in 1960 a year of "Progress."

Let's all, Sisters and Brothers, not only hope but work for the best and for improvements in all our Lodges of our Brotherhood, regardless haw small they may be, so this year 1960 shall be another Banner Year for SP,IST.

Comments Well, our Convention in June is rapiday approaching and we believe that now is the time for all of us who have some helpful suggestions for good of our future fraternal work in our brotherhood, he presented.

• • We are sure that in everyone's heart is the desire that our next Convention be fruitful. It dhould be remembered, however, that at the time of our ConVention, public attention will be focused upon us as a body, as fraternal order, and if we all come well prepared to work with the interest of our brotherhood at heart, and leave out all personalities, our success will be assured. ♦ • Each delegate will be sent from his 'respective lodge entrusted with the responsibility to deliberate to the end that the progress of our brotherhood in the coming four years will be successful.

• • Delegates will be elected to the ConVention on the basis of the number of members in their lodges at the close of the first quarter of 1960.

• • There is still time before this Convention, for each of us to concentrate on the question of how best to proceed tor further growth of our Order.

• • Every faithful member desires that this our Eighteenth Convention, will produce not only the best for our SPJST Order but that results produced by the delegates to the Convention will be satisfactory to the whole brotherhood.

Of course, everyone will not be pleased with the whole outcome, for being humans as we are, it is our lot.

VESTNIX WEST, TEXAS Here. I would like to bring before you an excerpt from the ZCB; Fraternal Order, which appeared in their publication which seems worthy of your consideration in our District meetings, to wit: We present a free translation into the English language: "In the District Meeting in Nebraska, 160 sisters and brothers from 37 lodges answered our Roll Call. From the remaining 24 lodges, there was no representation. Most of these unrepresented lodges are small slumbering lodges, which are held together by members from two or three families.

"Inasmuch as the calling of the Roll of these various lodges requires quite. some time, which time could be used to more pressing business, it was recall). mended that in future meetings this practice of reading off the lodge roster be dispensed with and a roster of represented lodges be obtained from the "Registration Records" of the Entertainment Committee, in Charge of registration."

• • This appears to be a worthy suggestion to follow. Each and everyone of us should concentrate on what and on how our meeting procedure should be corrected and simplified.

• • We should all sincerely wish, that the unqualified assumption that our Convention is controlled or under the authority of some organized group, for then the wishes and free will, the liberty and individual /decision of the lodge delegation would be threatened.

• • Majority Vote Should Rule and every delegate rbould cast his vote according to his personal conviction, if we are to preserve justice in our OrAer and in our Conventions.

• • Should some of you come up with a suggestion which seems might be beneficial to our Order and to our Convention, please come with it, write about it in time. Time is slipping by!

• •

Each of us know only too well that in harmonious cooperation will the success of our Convention be guaranteed and if we but remember this in our Convention deliberations, in the interest of our Order, the results will be To Brother Miculka goes our thanks gratifying. for his kind words in his letter to us.

Are We A Materialistic People?

In most characterizations of Americans by people overseas, we are described as "materialistic". Americans, we are told, are obsessed with automobiles, appliances and the other costly things that supposedly make up the "good life." And along with the charge of materialism, our critics abroad suggest we are lacking in culture.

It would be foolish, indeed, to deny out of hand this negative view of our country and its people. We would be on much sounder — and shrewerer — ground if we met the criticism' squarely, admitted the partial degree of truth it does •contain and then go on to point out the other side of the story. A fairminded answer 'might proceed along such lines as these: If by being materialistic you mean that Americans want to live as well and comfortably as they can, we plead guilty. But a high standard of living is not proof of a materialistic outlook on life. People everyWhere are striving for a better life. Of course, many Americans are most interested in "getting and spending" than in anything else. But many more of us are deeply concerned with the spiritual and cultural side of life.

Americans, for that matter, are as often called "idealistic" as "materialistic" by other peoples. We cherish and uphold freedom and individual liberty.

A basic religious faith, respect for human dignity and concern for the welfare of all mankind are essential elements of the American character.

From our pioneering past Americans have developed to a high degree a spirit of voluntary cooperation — some call it our "crusading" spirit. Projects, al..

Most without number, are undertaken by groups of citizens for the benefit of less fortunate persons, the local community, or the nation.

This concern for the welfare of others extends to those far beyond our borders, It shows in actions not only by the Government but by individuals and private organizations. Indeed, the philanthropic foundation. Many were established by men of 'humble beginnings Who, after accumulating great wealth, assumed the

Wednesday, February 24, 1950 social responsibility they felt that wealth brought with it.

American culture today is fully Mature and distinctive in character. It is respected by fair-minded artists and intellectuals throughout the world. Music, painting, and literature are an integral part of American life. More of us, incidentally, are going to concerts, than to baseball games. Sales of books and recorded classical music are booming.

Panel discussions on serious subjects often conducted on radio and television, help, satisfy the American taste for lectures and discussion groups. Our motion pictures at their best are very good.

Many races and peoples make up the poulation of the United States. All have contributed significantly to American life and culture. We are aware of our debt to other nations and deeply in terested in the cultural achievements of other peoples. ) • 4 • (

Health Care Can Not Be Legislated It was said that our federal government will never be able to legislate good health care for the nation.

Dr. Milford 0. Rouse, vice speaker of the American Medical Association's house of delegates, told a regional conference on Aging that "good care is completely unrestricted care."

"The high quality of medical care and scientific research will suffer if they are bamstrung by government rules, procedures, regulations, standards and red tape," he said.

Dr. Rouse, who spoke during the twoday conference which is sponsored by AMA's committee on aging and state medical societies from. Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi, criticized the federal government's attempts to enter the medical field.

He noted that 2,194 bills pertaining to medicine have been introduced since 1953.

Dr. Rouse particularly criticized the Forand bill, which would again increase social security taxes and provide limited hospital, surgical and nursing home benefits to social security recipients.

Dr. Rouse said Forand type legislation would swamp already crowded hbspitals, and would also throw a tax burden of more than two billion dollars on the American public. ) • et. • ( How can we expect another to keep our secrets if we cannot keep them our selves? -- La llochefoueauld

To Our Young Friends The tendency of modern times is to make the individual feel unimportant.

The average man feels wholely inadequate to cope with the many complex situations, about which he knows very little. He asks himself what can one man do anyway, and arrives at the conclusion that others are better fitted than he is to take the responsibility, so why concern himself too much about presentday problems.

Everyone has a dual personality, A strong side and weak side, a good side and a bad side. When we take an in ferior attitude toward. ourselves we are allowing our weaker side to dominate.

And how about the Miss SPJST Contest? I wonder how many lodges in District One have selected their candidates. I have visited several lodges but there were only a few that have planned to have one. So far, I have not noticed any report on it; better get busy or the Chance will be gone before you know it.

Following is a January report of insurance sold: Brother J, H. Siptak, $6,000.00; Brother Jahn J. Srubar $3,000.00; Brother J. J.

Lots of people need insurance, there is none better than ours and remember, that maybe our candidate will be Miss SPJST. If any of you should run into some difficulties, just drop me a card or a letter and I will be right over and help you put it aver.

While I'm on this Auditing Committee I would like to correct my last report: that is that Sister Wilhemina Pavlik is on the Auditing Committee and not on the Sick Committee. We did not elect anyone on the Sick Committee this year.

Our lodge president stated that it was the duty of every member of the lodge to visit your fellow member if he is sick and we thing he is right about that.

I noticed in the catalogs that hey've developed a new climbing strawberry called the Sonjana, which was developed in Germany by the Reinhold Hummerl Horticulturists. The plant bears berries the first year, starting in the spring clar on to frost. The plant requires a minimum of space; there is no mulching problem to keep the fruit clean from grit; they can be planted in planters or in basjets to hang down.

LOSS OF CITIZENSHIP Question: A friend of mine, an American citizen, went abroad in connection with a complicat e d business matter just before the outbreak of hostilities in Korea. While abroad he received a no_ tice of induction in the Army, but because of his business affairs, he did not return until recently, when he y was above draft age. When he attempted to enter the United States he was excluded because the Immigration Service said that he had lost his citizenship because of his staying abroad and thereby avoiding military service. Is there anything which can be done for him?
