The Swedish dentist is concerned because children are eating too much candy, and it is causing cavities in their teeth. As most health authorities know, refined sugar, such as white sugar and candy, is not the best form of sweets for the body and the teeth.

4

In fact, it is almost unanimously agreed that other forms of sweets are latter for human consumption. However, the Swedish dentist. Dr. Oskar Veikna, says that. "So long as there is candy children will eat it, no matter how much we try to persuade them against it."

Dr. Veikna is, of course, correct. To blame, however, are parents, and although the dentist is proposing the only sure way that excessive consumption of refined sweets could be eliminated, his proposal will not be accepted, neither in Stockholm nor anywhere else in the world. People naturally want the right to buy candy, if they want to eat it, just as they have the right to buy cigarettes, if they wish to scr'oke them.

However, we mention this comment because many parents are guilty of giving their children too much candy, and this is thought, to be responsible for poor teeth. This is an awful price to pay for the childhood enjoyment of eating sweets. While we pose as no health expert, and while we do not live life on the old maximum that if God wanted us to eat candy he would have put it on earth (and, * likewise, if he had wanted us to fly he would have given us wings) we do believe that natural sweets, such as honey, fruits, molasses, etc., are worth cultivating a taste for — and that they will pay many dividends to those who chose them over an excessive amount of refined sugar and candy. ) •( Majority Vote Should Rule and e-ery delegate obould cr+st his vote according to his personal conviction, if we are to preserve justice in our 0-der and in our Conventions.

By Life Insurance In '59 American families received an average of nearly $21,000,000 in benefit payments from then life insurance and annuities every 24 hours in 1959, the Institute of Life Insurance reports.

Total life insurance and annuity benefits paid during 1959 amounted to $7531,400,000, an all-time record. These payments were $299,900,000 larger than the year before and more than twice the benefits paid ten years ago.

"The flow of these payments will accelerate as life companies increasingly pay out benefits under the record amount of life insurance purchased in recent years," said the Institute.

Benefit payments going to living policyholders accounted for 59 per cent of the 1959 total, or $4,421,700,000. This was a year's gain of more than $99,300,000 and more than double such benefits paid ten years previously.

These living benefit payments included $632,100,000 paid under matured endowments; $119,000,000 in disability payments; $656,000,000 in annuity payments; $1,493,400,000 paid in cash values; and $1,521,200,000 in policy dividends.

Death benefits paid in 1959 to beneficiaries amounted to $3,109,700,000, a record total. The more. than 100 per cent increase in these payments in the decade is a reflection of the greater amount of life insurance owned and the increasdd of those policies previously in force, rather than a rise in death rates, the Institute noted. The policyholder mortality rate showed a downward trend over the past decade.

Originally life insurance policies accounted for about $1,803,400,000 or 58 per cent of the aggregate death benefits paid in 1959; death payments under group life insurance amounted to $992500,000 or 32 per cent of the total; industrial policies accounted for $313,000,000, or 10 per cent of death benefits in 1959.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE' "I pledge Allegiceee to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

Parliamentary Procedure Just about one thousand years ago, King Edgar of England desired a formula for settling disputes among his subj ects.

King Edgar's reign was largely peaceful, in contrast to the previous five hundred years of constant warfare. One of his outstanding means Ire used to promote peace was to think up rules which would enable individuals with conflicting interests to gather under one roof and discuss their differences in a fair ad orderly way.

This pattern of King Edgar's era protected the rights of even the least person and we believe that this was the forerunner of what we know today as Parliamentary Rules and Law. Putting such rules into practice was not an easy task. You can imagine the scene of the first such meeting. There was always danger that the strong one would push everyone else around and the weak ones would be shoved into the background.

King Ed g ar thought that his plan had untold possibilities for the good of man-

kind, for it was based on the Divine Truth that said to us: "As you wish a man to do unto you so should you do to him."

His new approach, gained favor slowly but surely. Man began to see what could be done in every assembly to protect by peaceful means the rights of each human being given by his Creator. Now, centuries later, these rules have been strengthened and expended by all civilized nations and in our procedures.

The advantages of a parliamentary procedure are as follows: 1. Every person should be heard and respected. 2.

Matters of common good can be discussed in a courteous dignified manner.

3. The discussion should be limited to one at a time. 4. The will of the majority should prevail, but the minority should have ample opportunity to voice its viewpoints. 5. Underhand methods of those who depend upon graft and corruption can be quickly exposed by alert members. 5. Individuals with high ideals can take constructive steps to follow justice into the running of buman affairs.

It is regretable that so few people have a working knowledge of Parliamentary procedure. That is why so many are afraid to speak up to defend what they think is just.

For this reason only, we are herewith placing this article for your careful consideration and study, as these simple facts should be borne in mind that parlimamentary procedure is simply, Vhat the majority should rule, but with the right of the minority to speak up and be heard.

Knowledge is a help to everyone.

Studying these problems you will find that the spirit of justice and fairness will help you at home, at your work and in eve ry phase of life.

Tens of thousands of different organizations hold their meetings every day.

These groups involve our destiny, and that of countless others. There is not limit to the good that these organizations can achieve if they use every means to fulfill their purposeful goals. any of our groups would increase the efficiency of their meetigs if all of their

Wednesday, March 2, 1960 participants] were familiar with parliamentary laws. To excert this influence for good, as each member could make his own contribution by taking a stand for his conviction and principles.

You hay have noticed that a few individuals tend to dominate and the shy ones become disheartened, regarding such gatherings as a waste of time, and then they decide not to attend any more meetings. Please mark you, that many persons with good ideas surrend er leaderShip because they fail to learn parliamentary laws, and because they do not want to be embarrassed they stay away and do not participate in. discussions. Little do such persons realize that by doing nothing they become unwittingly the accompliaces of disorder, injustice and moral breakdown.

Many others with sound principles attend meetings because of their sense of moral obligation. But because of their lack of knowledge on how to participate effectively, they merely sit through our meetings without making their voices heard. With a little effort and thought in learning the essentials of parliamentary procedures they could become an effective force in shaping our future policies.

Those bent on favortism and doubledealing usually know all of the ins-andouts, and the best way to offset them is for more persons like you and me, to acquire knowledge to use parliamentary laws in the right way.

Now, please remember this: for a fundamental law, that before you can speak at a meeting you must obtain the floor. You should rise and address the presiding officer by his title, and wait for recognition. When you have the floor, you can speak, and no one can intempt you. All proposals seeking action on the part of the assembly must be presented by a motion. You should begin by saying: "I move that . . " and then briefly and concisely state your ideas. To make your motion more effective, you could write it on a card or a piece of paper, and read it, with accuracy, and your listeners will give better attention, But, remember before your idea may be discussed by the assembly, it must be seconded. This insures that every proposal which has been presented before the group has the backing of more than one person.

Then if no objection to onsideration is sustained, the entire membership may discuss it and decide whether to ap -prove disaproveit.

VtSTNItIC --- WEST, TEXAS has made, the parliamentary law makes it possible for you to submit your ideas to the group by "amending" the motion.

Altering the motion can be carried one step further by another member rising to amend the amendment. You then, have a primary amendment and the secondary amendment to the main motion. You may not have more than these two. If some issue has become obscure, or invoiced, you can always seek clarification by asking the Chairman for a "point of information".

It is often possible that a motion may contain two or more parts. Then you can ask that each part be considered separately and by such consideration you can often help clarify the entire motion and salvage sometimes those portions that will really benefit the group.

Violation of parliamentary procedure can be checked by you rising to ask a "point of order". If you do this, the Chair is obliged to recognize and to pass upon your inquiry.

It often happens that our meetings swerve off agenda and do not follow the order of business. You can remind the Chairman of this for "an order of the day."

If you disagree with a decision of your Chairman, you can appeal from the Chair to the whole membership. When you appeal has been seconded. the Chairman must state the "question at issue" and the membeisrip shall vote as to Whether they wish to "sustain" or "over rule" the Chair.

Strana 13 at the same meeting or at the next regular meeting. After that is would be dead and would have to be offered as a new motion. The motion to lay on the table is not debatable. You can also propose, that the discussion of a issue can be "postponed to a later time" or "until the next meeting." You can also offer a 'motion to be "postponed indefinitely. This can be used to block a main motion without ri % king a vote.

Should you wish a more accurate count than a voice vote, you can call for a vote to be taken by "asking members to stand, or raise their hands" or indicate their choice by "secret ballot."

If a motion is offered at any time, it is not debatable, and could also include the time and place of the next meeting if they are not already specified.

These primary parliamentary laws that we ∎ ave presented here for your consideration, have an enormous potential and the more you realize this, the :1",ere you will want to tell the world how we can all shape our future destiny.

Please do not lay this aside without careful study.

VESTNiK 速 WEST, TEXAS

Lodge Pokrok No 84 Dallas HOLDS TWO-DAY GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Lodge Pokrok No. 84 of Dallas, held a two-clay celebration of its Fiftieth Year since its founding in the SPJST fraternity, in its modern Hall on Floyd St., February 20 and 21st, with their Anniversary Dance Saturday night February 20, followed by a dinner and program on Sunday February 21st, to a packed hall of well-wishers who came from all parts of Texas, to enjoy the fellowship and the occasion.

The Hall decoration carried the Golden and White theme, with the dancing area festooned with golden and white streamers radiating from simulated gold and white chandelier, while in the background on the stage stood a nine foot tall four tiered paper-mache white birthday cake, trimmed in gold and a golden 50 on top. The tables were set in spotless linen and yellow carnations for the more than 500 guests who came to break bread with the members of this lodge.

The floral donations added to the Golden Anniversary motif.

The Rejcek Orchestra furnished the diners with beautiful Czech music, to make the whole affair more festive.

Only those who have been active in Lodge work can appreciate the tremendous amount of work it takes to kickoff such a celebration.

Effective advertising placed well in advance, invitations to guests engraved in gold lettering to be mailed out, the kitchen in itself is like an army mess, and the handful of sisters who handled the crowd was the culmination of many other sisters behind the scenes cooking and baking the food and pastries to aid these sisters then in adequately feeding the crowd. The roast beef and sausage with all the trimmings, plus, the pastries was excellent. The Teen_Agers took charge of the Registration of guests and both the young ladies and gentlemen waited tables for the dining guests. Other members of the, various committees, greeted guests, pinned golden ribbons on Pokrok's 84 membership, while out of town guests, Supreme Lodge officers and their ladies received yellow carnation coursages and boutonnieres. Everyone was busy, from the clok checkers to the crew of sisters in the kitchen.

Shortly after the noon hour on Sunday, the long line coiled around the Hall like a huge snake for the noon

meal. While one sister took up the tickets, the other sisters handled the dish es, filling up the plates and passing them on to the last one who handed the plates to the guests. Each guest took his pick of pastry from a big table ladened with delicious eating and the Teen agers, brought in big coffee pots full of fresh, hot coffee, directly to the tables themselves, pouring coffee and welcoming the guests. It gladdens the heart to see their genuine friendly smiles and acknowledge their words of welcome.

While some were finishing their meal, others were visiting back and fourth, greeting old friends, meeting new ones and enjoying the scenes of precious granohildren running about in their Sunday best, the older generation sitting guitely visiting, the happy teen agers, the sub-teeners and young families out together and having a good time.

Lodge President Brother Cyril Pokladnik opened the afternoon's celebration at 3:00 p.m. with a welcoming address and of seating of all Supreme Lodge Officers present and guests; recognizing the various sister organizations present as: KJT, KJZT, Sokol, Western Bohemian and officers from the Texas Fraternal Congress and city officials of Dallas.

The Pledge of Allegience lead by Pokrok's teen age lad, was followed by the singing of Happy Birthday by the cradle division, each holding a colored balloon in a tableau on the stage.

Supreme Lodge President Bro. Edward Marek, was guest speaker who brought greetings and congratulations from brother Supreme Lodge officers who were unable to be present on this occasion. He complimented Lodge Pokrok on its progress "under the leadership of men and women who had the qualifications of fraternalists as exemplified here this afternoon." Brother Marsk speaking in behalf of all the Supreme Lodge officers conveyed their "best wishes, congratulations and pledge of allegience, to the future growth of the lodge here as well as of the lodge in the state of Texas." Brother Marek spoke also in the Czech language for the benefit of the older members who do not easily have the command of the English language, in essence saying that he was glad to be here with them to celebrate this 50th Anniversary of this lodge and that he was able to talk to them on the program. "It is with happiness that we assemble here and we are as enthusiasiastic as you are with the progress that your lodge has had. Your brothers and sisters," continued Brother Marek, "organized this lodge not only for tkern-

Wednesday, March 2,' 1960 selves but for those who came after them, serving themselves end you; their work was endless from generation to generation from which we are carrying home with us great happiness and satisfaction.

It brings back many memories and some sorrow also. The gladness that is ours is the spirit of brotherhood, understanding and love and from this comes unity and success. I an) sure that we feel it here today. It is with sincere regret that so many of our Charter Members have gone to rest, who cannot today enqoy the fruits of the bigness of this lodge."

Brother Marek in remembering our pioneers stated that their work was such an outstanding example to the whole world of our Czech origin and the love which united us all in such success and growth. "As we look around us here this afternoon, we can see this work going forward." concluded Brother Marek in Czech and then terminated the remaining remarks in the English language.

Brother Pokladnik gave the response to Brother Marek's address Then Brother Pokla,dnik introduced the two living Charter Members of Lodge Pokrok present, saying, "I want to say this, we appreciate your work which you have done for our lodge, which brought this success that we are today enjoying and hope that you will be among us for many more years and that success continues in this lodge even into the next generation Who will take over this work. In the name of those who are here and even those who are not among us, Brother Kucera and Brother Kallus, we appreciate your work." Deep in the hearts of us members is our love and we shall cherish you as long as we live."

Then followed the readings of acknowledging the congratulatory letters, telegrams and flower donations.

The Roll Call of the Deceased Charter Meambers, and the flower tribute ceremony by Pokrok's Teen-Age lovely young sisters was very impressive. Bro. Pokladnik requested that relatives of the deceased stand as the name of each was read, and a lovely long-stemmed carnation was placed in a golden vase. as the roll call remembered Brothers: Jos. Herzan, Steve Martinik, Frank Robisch, Vavrin Drobil, Frank Merlik, Vaclay Kasai, John Vancura, John Bartosek, Joseph Taborsky, Frank Koza, Stanley Taborsky and Sister Emilie Bartosek.

Brother Vaclav Zastoupil, Frank B. Steiner and John Bubak were introduced to the assembly 'a the living past

Wednesday, March 2, 1960 presidents of Pokrok No. 84.

Those assembled honored these beloved dead with, a minute's standing prayer.

Justine Marie Pokladnik, accompanied by her brother Johnnie on the Piano, dedicated these two "grandpas" a, song in Czech.

A Ckech song sung by a teen-age group and accompanied by lovely Sister Jerry Ann Urban, was also dedicated to the past presidents.

Then Brother Pokladnik began his "This. Is Your Life Pokrok 84" theme: "In the year 1900" began Bro. Pokladnik, "many Czech families were moving rto Dallas and soon there was talk of starting some kind of Czech organization, but not until 10 years later did it come to pass, when a group decided to start a SPJST Lodge.

This was pushed principally by two brothers; already members of the SPJST one brother Fisl who was a member of the Taylor Lodge No. 29 and brother Rendek who was a member of the West Lodge No. 54.

The first meeting was held in the home of Brother Fisl, where 15 people pledged themselves to join the SPJST. It was not until February 20, 1910 that Lodge Pokrok Dallas No. 84 became a :member of the Supreme Lodge of the SPJST (Slovanic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas). At this meeting, the following out of town members were present: Brothers J. R. Kubena, Secretary of the Supreme Lodge, Malina of Temple, Fabian of Hallettsville and Hurta of Seaton.

At the first meeting, temporary officers were elected as follows: Brothers: Fisl, president; Robish; vice president; John Bartosek, secretary; Joseph Taborsky, bookkeeper; J. J. Rendek, treasurer; and brothers': Frank Merlik , John Vancura, and Steve Marink were sergeants at arms.

The first duly elected president was brother Vavrin Drobil, while Bro. William Rczek was the first transferee from Lenge No. 62.

The second meeting held by Lodge Pokrok 84 welcomed three new members into the fold: namely, Brothers Vaclav Blatny, Anton Kartous and Josef Goebel.

By the time the Lodge was one year old, there were 43 members to observe the first anniversary, and officers on this occasion were: Brothers: Vavrin Drohil, president, Vaclov Zastoupil, vice president; Frank Vodicka, secretary; Robert Duron, treasurer and Vaclav Blatny, bookkeeper.

The roster of Past Presidents with thair terturt of Office reads like a Who's

VESTNiK WEST, TEXAS Who for service in our fraternity and is as follows: Brother Vavrin Drobil who served from 1910 through 1916.

Brother Jos. Vesely, onexhalf of the year 1917.

Brother Jos. Rotrekel, one-half of the year 1917.

Brother Frank B. Steiner served from 1934 through 1936.

Brother Vavrin Drobil, served from 1937 through 1938.

Brother Joe J. Marek, who served from 1939 through 1945 Brother Vavrin Drobil, served from 1946 through 1948.

Brother Joe J. Marek, served from 1949 until his death on April 27, 1952.

Brother Cyril Pokladnik, who served from 1952 through the present time In the year 1919, a committee was finally appointed to find and purchase suitable property on which to build their Lodge Home. This property was located on Floyd Street near Cantegral Street, the present site of Lodge 84.

Groundbreaking was begun on May 15, 1921 and by June of that year, the first meeting was held in a yet incomplete Hall. By the July meeting the Lodge Hall was completed and plans were made for an opening ceremony, which took place on August 19, 1921. • Brother Pokladnik gave recognition to one brother especially for his financial support whose help and encouragement got the Hall started. "I think march tribute should, be paid to Brother Joe Ondrusek and other families like his, for example, the Durons, Vodickas, Jers, I2,:artouses, Mareks, Steiners, Kutils and so many others who participated later in plays and money and efforts to help pay for this building, not to forget Brother Vaclav Kasai and Brother Jerry }.1oupy, whose musicians played for us, many times paying their musicians out of their own pockets.

The first big celebration was the 25th Anniversary of the founding of our Order the SPJST and was held jointly with our sister Lodge Jaro 130 of Dallas.

That was the days of the Charleston craze and Pokrok's lovely Teen-Agers gave us a look back into the years when most of us looked thus: chewing gum and all.

This was also the heyday of May West with her provocative "Come up and see

Stra'na 17 roe sometimes," and again Pokrok's tiny Missy in a royal blue taffeta slinky gown and a big floppy picture hat invited us to "Come up and see me some times." This was a delightfgl break in the narration of the birth and growing pains of a now mighty lodge.

Another big celebration was held on Czech Day at the State Fair of Texas in October of 1929. At that time 14 members were initiated and 17 new members into the newly organized Juvezile Department.

In this new department Policy No. 1 was issued to Sister Lillian Kopecky, followed by Bessie Kopecky, Robert Duron Jr., Dragmir Fredrich, Louis Kutil, Rose Kutil, Anne Kutil, Lillie Kutil, Carolyn Olsovsky, Annie Pokladnik, Mary Pokladnik, Frank Pokladnik, Emil Pakladnik, Frank Slovak, Christine Slovak, Annie Steiner and Frank Steiner Jr. Through the efforts of Brother Frank Steiner Sr., this Juvenile Department Lodge Pokrok was organized.

By February 1935, when Lodge Pokrok observed its 25th Anniversary their roster had grown to 129 adult members and 25 children. Bro. Frank B. Steiner Sr., was its president; Bro. Vaclav Zastoupil was vice-president; Bro. Frank Vodicka, secretary; Bro. Robert Duron treasurer and Bro. Joe J. Marek bookkeeper. Four Charter Members were then present at this 25th Anniversary celebration, nomely Sister Emilie Bartosek, Brothers Vavrin Drobil, Frank Kallus and John H. Kucera.

Then on August 29, 1937 our Order the SPJST was 40 year old and Lodge Pokrok 84 and Lodge Jaro 130 both of Dallas, again observed this occasion at the Sokol Lodge Hall.

At the 30th Anniversary of Lodge Pokrok 84 on February 18, 1964, things began to look brighter for Lodge Pokrok and additional property in the form of two lots were acquired. In December of the same year, plans were accepted for a new building which was begun on January 1, 1941. The celebration for this opening of the new Lodge building was held on June of 1941 and much credit for the progress and erection of the building goes to the presiding officers of that time, namely: Brother Joe J. Marek, president; Frank Kolenovsky, ,vice-president; Adolph Jez, secretary; Robert Duron, Treasurer, and Cyril Pokla dnik, bookkeeper.

Then World War II, taking its toll of 28 young members out of ou lodge. Fortunately, they all returned to us. They are Brothers: Louis Balaja, Adolph Jez, Robert Duron,, Frank Ehrenberger, John Hucek, Joe Kartous, Arnold Kolenovsky, Bohumil Kolenovsky, Leo Kopecky,

Slovak, Ben Steakley, Joe Valcik and Robert (sorry, we did not catch thelast nome.)

By the year 1946, all debt on the Lodge property had been paid off. Five years later, discussions again were brought to the floor of the meeting to enlarge the building. Lodge Pokrok did not observe his ;35th Anniversary, however, President Bro. Joe J. Marek, paid tribute to all of Pokrok's deceased members, now numbering 30.

Lodge Pokrok was always careful in the selection of its new applicants for membership. During the Great Depression, even though Lodge Pokrok had its own note and interest obligations to meet, the Lodge paid premiums for many of its nembers in order to hold their valued membership.

Then in the meeting of April 1947, the membership took another step forward with the installation of modern bar for cold drinks and beverages. Shortly the first discussion of air conditioning the building was brought before the membership and approved in June of the following year.

The 50th Anniversary of our SPJST Order was held with a celebration on September 7, 1947.

A break in the narration gave us a beautiful dance rendition by one of Pokrok's younger daughters in the Anniversary Waltz.

Then in February 1950, Pokrok commemorated its 40th Anniversary, with officers of the Supreme Lodge participating.

Another milestone was reached with the establishing of a Soft Ball Team at a meeting held on January 17, 1954, spearheaded by brothers Ben Jarma and Ben David. This became a reality on February 21, 1954.

Ben Jarma became rhanager of the SPJS.r Soft Ball Club.

At this point in the narration, Brother Ben Jarma, takes the microphone and said, "Thanks Brother President, honored guests, brothers and sisters, I accept your aplause in behalf of all the members of the Soft Ball Team, since 1954." Brother Jarma then presented Lodge President Pokladnik with a plaque mad e up of names of members of Lodge 84, and dedicated to the present and Charter Members, reading: 50th Annia versary, SPJST Lodge 84, Founded Feb. 20, 1910, presented to present and past Charter Members for founding this Lodge and to all members for upholding

VESTNIK - WEST, TEXAS

the fraternal traditions, by the Soft Ball Club in Dallas. Feb. 20, 1960. Thank you" said Brother Jarmo, at his conclusion of reading of the inscription.

Brother Pokladnik accepted the plaque from the Soft Ball Club in behalf of the Lodge. The Lodge pre-school division of boys presented the Chia with a most befitting "Skit". First, nine 8, 9, and 10 year old girls sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Then the curtain on the stage parted to show a team of tiny ball players in red uniforms "playing ball." Two Teen-Age Cheer Lead-rs rooted for the SPJST Team, to an applauding gathering. Trophies were presented to the tiny players: representing the Club's trophies won in the years 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959, pals other League Competition trophies won by them.

Lodge President Poklaclnik continues: "On March 7, 1954, the Third District paid off its loss of the first membership contest within the SPJST with a banquet for the Organizers and members of the Fifth District. This was the beginning of a close fellowship among the two Districts of the whole SPJST." Another skit is now presented by the Teen_Agers depicting the Third District Losers, weeping into tablecloth size handkerchiefs, occasionally wringing them out, while the Fifth District winners happily feast themselves.

"A Czech Summer School was held at the Lodge Hall in 1954." A pretty lass delivered a Czech poem.

In the year 1956, the first Club of its kind, a Teen-Age Club, was founded.

The present officers of the Teen-Age Club and, its two beloved Youth Leaders were introduced.

Brother Richard Sykora, president; Joe Chdrusek, 'Vice president; Sister Jerry Ann Urban, secretary, Sister Nodya Rejcek, treasurer and Sister Bessie Peter, Youth Leader and lovely Sister Carlyn Ondrusek, her assistant.

Teen-Age President, Brother Richard Sykora, took the microphone and said "Thank you for allowing me the time to express our thanks for this opportunity to appear here today and to be a member of Lodge 84 and congratulate your senior Inembels of Lodge 84 for starting our Teen-Age Club. Thank you members for helping us organize. The Teen-Agers have received a lot of help; we think we have a great lodge to follow end we are behind theta." laagarding the two Youth Directors, Brother -3-57kora said: "We can not give enough reccgnition to thorn.

We think that k_.: +n Bessie is the most important member of our Lodge with Sister Carlyn as her assistant," concluded Brother Sykora to the enthusiastic applause of the Teen-Age

Wednesday, March 2, 1964 Section to corroborate his statement.

"On October 21, 1956," continued Brother Pokladnik with his narration, "a discussion of another addition to the building was brought to the Lodge Meeting. In February 1957, money was voted for this addition and plans for construction approved. The building started immediately. The Grand Opening was held on August 1957.

"A Dinner and Operetta was held on March 3, 1957. This Operetta was the last which was under the direction of our beloved Sister Bozena Jez. The proceeds from this Dinner and Operetta were sent to Brother Chas. Navratil, treasurer, representing the SPJST Rest Home in Taylor, Texas, in the amount of $2,642.67. (Long-lasting applause).

"The first Teen-Age Anniversary and Princess Dance was held on September 21, 1957." continued, Brother Pokladnik.

At this point lovely Queen and King of Pokrok 84 were presented, to wit: Jerry Ann Urban in her royal coronation robe and handsome James Janousek.

Their royal escorts then took a bow: to wit, Lovely Maid of Honor Nodya Rejcek and her Royal Escort Richard Syko,a r,a.n Nov ember 16, 1958, Brother Martin Koval was honored at our meeting with the Supreme Lodge Officers presenting him with a check for $1,000 in full payment of his certificate, having attained the age of 96 years. His Lodge presented him with a Ceremonial Dinner and presented him wit ha lifetime membership earl to Lodge Pokrok Dallas 84. Since then, our Brother Martin has passed away."

"On June 28, 1959, the Second Youth Activity Day of District III was held at Lodge 84. The First Queen of District' III, Sister Jeanie Hubiky of the Cottonwood Lodge No. 6 was crowned. The Princess representing Lodge 84 was our Sister Betty Jean Staglik."

District III Queen, Jeanie Ilubik was then presented. Stepping to the microphone, lovely Jeanie said: "Thank you for your invitation to be here today. It is truly an honor to be Queen of District Three. Thank you." Lovely Princess Staglik took a bow. "I would like to say that it is nice to see all of these faces here today, so many people, we really enjoy the program and 1 ipe that you too enjoy this program," Then President Pokladnik continued: 'The following program that we will Pre sent to you is some of the talent numbers that were presented on the previous Youth Activity Day. If you have never attended a Youth Activity Day, you won't know what you are missing.

We would like for you to attend the next Youth Activity Day."

Wednesday, March 2, 1060 The various age- groups gave accordion duetts, piano solos and the Teenage Adamcik sisters, well-k now n throughout the Third District for their distinctive style of Waltzes and Polkas gave us some wonderful numbers. — Many thanks to them.

Again Teenage Club President Richard Sykora takes the microphone to pay tribute to his senior lodge officer: Brothed Sid Pokladnik. "He gave more to the SPJST than was expected of any man. He has been an organizer, worked up through the lodge offices during his presidency the lodge made its greatest growth and history, attended all menibership contests between districts. Brother Pokladnik was very helpful and has backed our Teen age Club. Brother Sid startel the ball rolling again on the Queen Contests which proved successful. In 1956 he was a lodge delegate to the Convention, serving as Vice-president of the Convention. Brother and Sister pokladnik and their two talented children are a credit to the Lodge and deserve recognition," concluded Brother Sykora to a standing ovation of tLe audience.

Addressing Sister Pokladnik as "The First Lady of the Lodge," Brother Sykora requested that she cut the huge four-tiered Anniversary Cake which the Teenage Club donated to the occasion.

Brother Pokladnik acknowledged recognition for himself and his fine family.

"Thank you very much, I cannot express myself as I would like. I appreciate the kind words: it is not us, but you that makes the SPJST that we have.

Thank you very much."

Sister Justine Pokladnik cut the first two slices of the beautiful white Anniversary Cake and presented them to the two past living presidents who were present.

Sister Bilek, a Charter Member of the SPJST Order of Lodge 54 was presented to the assembly as a guest. At that time she resided in Granger ,Texas. She received the third slice of the Annivercary Cake. Now with the Teen Agers assisting in the distribution of the cake, three lovely Teenage members sing: "May the Good Lord Bless You." Sisters: Kathie Adamcik, Pat Proza and Jerry Ann Urban, are then presented as candidates for the Convention title of Miss SPJST from Lodge 84.

Tiny Dianne Balaja, concludes the program with: "This is Your Golden Jubilee. It is your Golden Opportunity to Join the SPJST." Taking t h e microphone, Brother Pokladnik concluded the program: "It goes to show yOU that where you have good fraternalism, a great deal can be

I/ESTNTIC — WEST, TEXAS accomplished, and we are proud to say that Lodge Pok.rok Dallas No. 84 in the past 50 years, has accomplished much, having assets in the amount of approxiehately $175,000 to $200,000, with only a liability of $18,000. We can only say how proud we are that we have a membership that has worked continuously and has accomplished so much."

President Pokladnik thanked all of the sisters who so efficiently fed us, handled the program, the committees, the Rejcek Orchestra, and all donors of flowers and congratulatory letters and. telegrams.

Brother Kubala, accompanied by Sister Jerry Ann Urban at the piano led up in the "Star Spangled Banner" and the beloved "Kde Domov Muj." So ended a wonderful grogram — the panorama, of the birth and growth of a lodge and its membership. By unar-mous concensus, it was a wonderful e, ning well spent.

The sun had already set and many of the out of town guests reluctantly took leave of this wonderful come: ny to return to • heir homes , with wonderful memories to relive at, home.

Reports From Local TOYLOTZ„ 'I XAS Dear Editor, I am enclosing a clipping from last week's Taylor Daily Press which I thought might be interesting.

The paper has written about our Rest Home very often.

Fraternally yours, Ben V, Mikolaj REST HOME HAS WAITING LIST

By Lin Mills The. SPJST Rest Home continues to operate at full capacity, Rudolph Trottbil, the manager, tells me.

Capacity is 38 permanent guests. That is what they have and that is what they have had since before Christmas.

Actually, there's a, waiting list containing the names of three persons.

Rudolph still talks about the possibility of adding another wing sometime in the indefinite future. He also talks of the possibility of the construction on the grounds for a home for himself and his wife, which would make room for a couple of a tore guests in the main building.

Rudolph was to have E. L. Marek of Temple, President of the SPJST Supreme Lodge as speaker at the Lions Club today. Perhaps from him will come some indication as to future possibilities.

By the way, Rudolph and his wife are looking forward to a trip to Czechoslovakia this summer. Rudolph says they still have several relatives there.

It will be the first time in 38 years they have visited the old country.

Talking about the rest home, I think it grows more beautiful every year. It's good to know we have this organization that is so interested in landscaping.

The building itself is very nice looking, of course. It was when it was finished and it is now. But it wouldn't be nearly so attractive if it weren't for all the landscaping work that has been carried out, partly through the skill of a few of the guests who love to work in the yard.

This spring when they leaf out, all the trees, flamers and shrubs will be quite a sight, and in future years even moreso. ) 4a • ( BEAUMONT, TEXAS Brothers and Sisters, Beau,a4ont Lodge proudly welcomes Brother Rio Syptak as a local resident together with his family of seven, all 100 per cent Czech members of the

Thanks to all the sisters wonderful cooperation and fraternal effort in our many benefits we have sponsored to help support our Youth and our Lodge, and to all you members who have helped to make it possible.

"Happy Birthday" was sung to: Mrs Blanche Becan, Mrs. Anna Jourdan, Mrs. Mary Rubac, Mrs. Marie Rucky, Mrs. Frances Dvorak, Mrs. Lucy Sosta,k, and Mrs. Augustine Winkler — our February birthday celebrants. Sincere congratulations were extended to them by all the sisters.

"Ani to nesmi bYti," odsekl tvrde Koula. "Mohlo by dati podnet reeem."

"Ale vbclyt' to ma dovoleno kabdSr. Jest to verejnY tanec," dovozoval Jenik.

"Ano, ale dcera Koulova nebude a nesmi tancovat s chalupnikem," vYhrab ne dodal Koula, odchazeje.

"Jen se neboj Jeniku a prijd' pro mne," nabadala Anieka.

Jenik po kratkem premYeleni rekl: — "Prijdu, at' se stane cokoli."

Zabava omladiny roinicke v Kreine platila vbdy za dobrou zabavu a byla pro to navetevovana nejen mistnimi, ale i pfespolnimi mladiky a divkami.

NebYvala neb jen jedna v roce a to mela staeiti, nebot' pak priely zabavy jine a otcove meli kapsy stale otevteny.

A jestli bYvaly zavreny, pak Kohn, ei phan Kohn, dovedl pormici: "Co phak mladY phane tak smutny'?" zaeinaval svoje reei k mladikum. "Cob phantatinek nechce dati nic k muzice?"

"Ne", obyeejne znela odpoved'.

"A tho nevite jak si pomoci?" zase pokraeoval Kohn. Teak to phantatinek ani nepozna. Ptineste mi maleho schoke (pytel ukradeneho obili, domacim elovekem) a budete miti penize."

"CoZ kdyby to tatinek poznal?"' byvalo poukazovano.

"Nic nepozna," zase konejeil Keen. — "Tamhle a tamhle i phanhnama pfinese drobet obili, tamhle i sleena dcera si donese, a ja nikomu ani shivko. Tho mubete taky udelati a budete miti penize."

A jak to bYva, jiZ" od poeatku, svildna kee dovede zlomiti i ten nejsilnejei charakter, mlade'Z se naueila na naeich vesnicich takto okradati sama sebe. A takovY malinkY obchildek, kterSr obyeejne zaeinal nekolika tkaniekami, ktere nosil takovY podomni obchodnik v rand. — staval se pomalu skrYei yeech moZnS7ch malYch i velkYch kradeZ, maminka sem chodila, aby nejakou tu paradu sehnala, dcerueka rovneZ. , syn pak, aby nejake ty penize dostal, rovne2 1 otec a pomalu si navykali na nejakou tu rosolku a se staval v nekolika letech panem yesnice.

"Jen at' se nezinSili," tekla zase Plaminkova.

"No, nebyl by prvni," dodala, DolejM, a hned zaSeptala: "Podivejte se —" Od stolu v koute vstaval Jakub. Byl jiZ hodne teZkY, nebo nohy jej bolely, ze se na nich sotva udrZel. "To by mela Terinka radost, kdyby jej videla," iekla Plaminkova.

"Ubohe device, jak jen se mohlo zapomenout s takov3im opilcem."

"VAak ona nyni plake a chce, aby si ji Jakub vzal a Jakub by to udelal, kdy;by nebylo toho sta,reho."

"Co ten ma do toho mluvit?" zlobila se Dolejgi.

Plaminkova se nahnula a tekla: "Jakub musi si vziti bohatou, protole uz je drZi Zid cele v kapse."

"Ubohe eleven," povzdychla Dolejgi.

ITSak nernohly jiZ mluviti, nebot' Jakub stal pied muzikanty a hodiv na stul petku, zvolal: "Tady — mate — penize zahrajte mi solo s Aniekou Koula —" Celts spoleenost trnula. Tohle se nepattilo a vAichni videli, ze see new jiste strhne.

Potadatele zasahli sice hned, ale ji2 zde take byl Klima star g i, kterSi se do nich pustil: "CoZe? Memu synovi, synovi nejvet g iho sedlaka to nedoptejete? Jakube, jen jdi —" "Tho se rozumi, phane Klima, ze Jakula ma pravo," iekl Jakub.

"Nema," prudce iekl jeden z vSrbort, piitel Jenikilv, Jiii Klouda.

"Cole nema? Za phenize se da udelati vkchno," kekl Kohn.

"Jen ne koupit si nebe a Zest. To si musi Clo y & .dobYti," odsekl mladik.

"Tomu vy nerozumite," iekl Kohn.

"Cole?" kasal se Jakub. "Muziky slyg ite? Muziky povidam, hrajte — solo s Aniekou — Nebo varn ty ingtrumen ty rozinlatim —" Chtel ,se dostati k Ani6ce, ale tato ji2 byla obklopena svSimi ptitelkynemi ktere ji chranily.

To spatkil Kohn a hned tam posilal Koulu.

"Phane Koulo," iekl, "phodivejte se, jak ty holky nedovoli phanu Klimovi, aby mohl tancovati s vaSi Aniekou. Tho piece path, aby deti ze dvou nejvagich gruntil tancovaly solo."

"Kubo, jestli nechceS", abych ti uka,zal hvezdiZky, seber se a jdi ke sve Terine, ktera jiste pldee nad kolebkou."

To vaa,k rozlobilo stareho Klimu: "Co je ti do toho, ty Zebraku? Pro tebe Anieka nevi — ty chalupnieku. Ta je pro sedlaka, pro Jakuba —" "To bych tekl," dodal Koula. "Nikdy r:64-4,4
