1960 Census to be Taken April 1

Life Insurance Investments An insight into the role played by our Life Insurance institutions in the economic life of our nation and its growth is provided by the regular flow of life insurance investment funds over the past decade.

With 115 million policy holders, the equavalent of nearly two out of every three persons in the population, life insurance is the nation's most widely owend form of personal thrift and there by one of the economy's principal sources of capital formation.

Of particular significance in the investment figures in the close relationship between the growth of life company investments in various parts of the country and regional expansion trends in recent years. This responsiveness to growth needs is especially evident in the Far West and certain parts of the South where Government compilations show greater_than-average increases in population and in personal income than occurred in the nation at large during the Fifties.

Data compiled by the Life Insurance Association of America on the investments of companies representing 85 per cent of the assets. of all United States life insurance cocr4panies show that, for the country as a whole, these investments increased by approximately $323/4 billions, on 69 per cent in the period from the beginning of 1950 to the end of 1958. The dollar totals involved grew from $47.1 billions at the start of the Fifties to $79.8 billions at the close of 1958. ) * 4 •. (

Every ten years the Federal Government counts the U.S. population. This year, an estirriated 180 million people will be counted.

Recornme_2 &tion To The Bylaw Committee West, Texas, Gentlemen sand Brothers: Please permit me to bring to your attention a matter deserving your consideration.

Under the present by-laws, a member making a loan must surrender his certificate to the Supreme Lodge for security. He has absolutely nothing in posession to show he has insurance with the SPJST or any connection with the Order. Sometimes the family of the meinber lives somewhere in California or in other distant state. Scl.r.ietime the wife of a member is not aware of the husband's insurance with or his obligation to the SPJST, The whole situation is not known to the family, There is no insurance certificate, there. may be no relatives in Texas, death is not reported, widow quits paying dues, member is suspended; and while the SPJST may never be obliged to pay the certificate or the remaining part of it, the widow may actually be in need of the money.

My suggestion is to pass an amendment to our by-laws as follows: "When a member makes a loan against his certificate and surrenders it, the Supreme Lodge shall furnish the member a substitute certificate shownig — Maine of member, the date of his birth, name of beneficiary, amount of insurance, the class of insurance, amount of loan against insurance, and the nonforfeiture clauses of his certificate. This substitute certificate shall be cancelled when loan is repaid and the original certificate shall be returned to member."

I sincerely hope that you will give this matter your attention.

With kindest regards to all, Fraternally yours, Hugo Freund o „g,„ • ( DEAR DALLAS MEMBERS: All the good pictures from your Dallas Lodge 84's Golden Anniversary will be in our next issue.

Thanks for your indulgence.

It is not only you people here in Wharton County or in this section, of south Texas that need to • know your fellow man better; the whole world needs it. I dare say that if the people knew each other better, if nasions knew and understood each other better, that many of the suspicions and apprehensions that plague our lives would soon vanish and disannear and that many of the barriers that stand in the way of universal peace of a happier world would be eliminated and removed, that we wouldn't have any wars, and would have much happier people, and a much happier world would result from such closer and more intimate acquain-f lance, and consequent beter mutual understanding.

When we come together in gatherings like this our hearts are filled with various kinds of thoughts, feelings and emotions. However, I think there is one feeling in our hearts, that we shar e in common and that is a feeling of gratitude, that we can live in this country in peace with our neighbors, irrespective of our ancestral background, our individual financial resourcves, or political affiliations, our relfZious beliefs our racial origions. We all have the same rights and privileges and owe this country the same duties, the same full measure of loyalty and devotion. We are all Americans. We are thankful for that privilege and for everything that America stands for. We are thankful that we live in a country that has instituted or set aside so many days to commemorate various important religious, national and historical occasion such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Labor Day, Independence Day, Armistice Day and many, many Christian holidays. and such as this All Nations Day. All of these evidence the feeling and thinking of the American Hearts. May tile thinking and feeling of American hearts never change.

We are thankful for our forebears, our pioneers that came to these shores and helped to establish a country founded on justice, freedom, and equality. They succeeded because they had faith in God, hope, love and charity in their hearts, faith in themselves and they believed in work. They came here from foreign lands. We are all descendants of immigrants of this country — the only difference being that the fore_ bearsof some of us came here some earlier than the forebears of some of the others. They all came here for the same purpose to find a country where they could have the many freedoms

Strana, 20 that men have longed from time immemorial. They contributed a very potent ingredient into the melting pot of various nationalities that make this country what it is. They help transform this country from a wilderness to the best country on earth in which to live.

It took lots of sweat, tears and blood — as Prime Minister Churchill of Great Britain used to say, but they accomplished it all. They were strangers in a strange land. They did know the language of the country. Nobody offered them a hand of friendship. Nobody paid any attention to them. They had to dig for themselves, and that is what they did. They organized their own churches and they organized their own socities.

They organized their own fraternal orders such as the SPJST of which I have the honor of being the secretary of its Supreme Lodge, the KJT, KJZT, RVOS, SVPS and others. They did this not because they wanted to be clannish as they were often accused but bebecause the natives did not invite them. into their organizations. They isolated themselves in settlements of their own on account of their language, barrier, often to their own disadvantage. They preserved many of their national customs; their way of life. They made 'Utah imprint on the life of this community. I see a sign over "Kolache." am sure all of you know what kolacam means as well as poppy-seed strudel.

VESTNiK — WEST, TEXAS always sang it in Czech.

After her death, for many years, whenever I heard that song in Czech I could not restrain myself from weeping.

The same song in English did not touch me near as much. Why? I don't know.

It cannot be explained. Its something that you cannot inv:Terstarni unless you experience it yourself. It is that love for something in the past, something that is behind us; that is gone, but we cherish the memory of it, nevertheless.

Love cannot be explained. That is why our elders and those of us that can speak Czech like to speak it. Not with a desire or a hope of resurrecting it any More than we would desire to bring back to life our departed ones that lived and died and passed away. They lived their lives, they ,dived. We honor their memory. They are gone. But we like to think about them nevertheless. We like to think of our Czech language somewhat in the sarie manner.

It is a sacred heritage handed down to us from our forebears. We value it.

We love it. We wouldn't be human if we did not value it; if we did not love it.

We could not be good Americans if we felt otherwise; if we did not have any loyalty to our origin.

Its to the memory of these our Czech pioneers and to the memory of the pioneers of other nationalities, like they. that helped this country become what it is, that we dedicate this day, as their Sometimes people that came to this American descendants, May our love country from ,so.re foreign land or their and respect for our forebears; our close descendants are censured because pioneers, nevei diminish. they like to speak their native tongue, or the language of their forefathers.

The members want to thank Brother John PaveIke, for the beautiful gavel he made for the Lodge. It is made of light wood with dark inlay, truly a beautiful thing.

After the adjournment of the meeting the members present plus guests and youth enjoyed coffee and refreshments of cakes, kolaches and sandwiches. Afterwards some visiting was done, but due to the inclement weather no •one stayed too long.

The weather has been "terrible".

Wonder what "old mother nature" has against us mortals:? She has tried to freeze us, blow us away, drown us and no telling what else will happen. It has been the coldest February on record here. Today (March 8) the sun was trying to shine, but the wind was blowing a gale. But I suppose that is to be expected now. As everyone knows, I am sure, March is a very windy month.

Some Farmees had some grain planted.

It has been in the ground for 3 weeks so wonder if it will come up? It is still too wet to plant as we have had drizzly keather all along. So all the farmers can do is pace the floor and hope it clears up so planting can get underway. Best regards to all, Mary A. Janak

The spring meeting of District III will be held on Sunday, March 27, beginning at 10:30 a.m. The place will be Lodge Jaromir Hall in West, Texas.

Hope each lodge in this district will have good representation.

Going still further into the future, we would like to point out that our April meeting will be held on Sunday, the 17th which is Easter Sunday. After the meeting, theie will be an Easter 'egg hunt for the youngsters. Then, that evening, will have a dance. So, on that day there will be something for each of our members. Please make plans to attend.

Our baseball team will have their benefit dance on April 30 which is on a Saturday. Watch the' Vestnik for fur.. th,er information concerning this.

Something new has been added to make our lodge building a more pleasant place . The something new are the beautiful draperies at the windows. Seems this was on the order of a joint project 'with. Brother Willie and Sister Carlyn Ondrusek providing t h e materials; Sister Libbie Janousek doing the sewing and Bros. Anton Janousek and John Kubacak putting the final touch by hanging the drapries. To all of you, a million thanks. The hall is a much more pleasant place due to all your efforts.

The 50th anniversary celebration held recently by our lodge received quite a bit of attention through courtesy of Rudolph's Meat Market. Brother Sid Pokladnik was very generous in relinquishing the advertising time for his business ' over a local radio station to announce the Golden Annicersary of Lodge No. 84. In behalf of all our members, Brother Sid, thank you very much.

Another person to whom we are all grateful is Brother Jerome Jejcek. Bro. Rejcek gave freely of his time and materials to do repair work on the public address system at our lodge.

If bouquets were to be passed out to all those who have done so much for our lodge, many would already have been given. And yet, we have two more to pass out. One to Sister Carlyn Ondrusek, Treasurer and another to Broth-

er Balich, Auditing Committee member, for donoting to the lodge the sum each received for fulfilling their official positions during 1959.

Mr. and Mrs. Cyrill Pokladnik, the parents of our President, Brother Sid, have been ill. All of us wish them complete recoveries in the very near future.

Many of our members have probably been hit by the flu bug or maybe, other illnesses. And, since the Sunshine Committee cannot send get well wishes unless notified of a member's illness, it is felt that some may be left out. At any rate, it is hoped that each of our members who are ill may soon enjoy the best of health.

This seems to be all the news for now, so will close, hoping all of your will keep in mind the dates mentioned.

Fraternally, Frances Baleja Helen Poklaidnik, Asst. __nen) s FORT WORTH, TEXAS Dear Members, The first meeting this year of the Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Association, Chapter 9, will be held on Sunday, March 20, at 2 o'clock at Sokol Hall.

Sports Column "It is unfortunate that some persons never meet a game warden until they are involved in some difficulty," writes H. D. Dodgen, executive secretary of the Game and Fish Commission, in an editorial entitled "His Work — Our Wealth," in the February issue of the agen_ cy's official publication . "It is just as unfortunate that so many persons never get to meet a game warden at all."

"Basically," writes Dodgen, "the warden's job was created to enforce game laws passed by your legislature. This still is a very important part of their 'daily chores. Now, however, he has another part of the job which he likes. He has become a disci ple of the great outdoors. He is a walking encyclopedia of information on how to hunt and fish and where. He must know the multiplicity of laws that govern the ownership, control and harvest of wildlife.

"Your game warden is your neighbor.

He wants to take part in your civic club activities; he will pass the collection plate in your church, or serve as a scout master, or provide motion pictures and talks for the garden club and the P-TA on the subject of conservation or wildlife appreciation.

"Ile will be one of the first on hand to fight a forest fire or to search for the lost or drowned," he continues.

"Your game, warden is not perfect nor is he a saint," concluded the executive.

"Dirt he is a dedicated man who is doing his best at his job, and with your help he'll do it better. Get acquainted with himi.”

Austin — Thousands of game and song birds are starving in Texas because of the lingering icy weather that has blanketed the state. "Game wardens have reported seeing hundreds of dead or dying robbins, too weak to search for insects or seeds," reports the assistant director of law enforcement, Texas Game and Fish, Commission.

Few plants produce berries this time of the year. Insects are in hibernation or have been killed out by the freezing

cold spells typical in the state the past few weeks.. Many birds have turned to eating things they normally paSs by.

Others' rob protected gardens in desperation.

"These birds need food, and they need it badly, said the assistant director.

"Some of them are so weak from starvation they can't escape even to the greener pastures that lie, farther south.

They're simply doomed without the help of man."

Texans could help by tossing out a few bread crumbs or sprinkling a handlid. or two of grain outdoors each day.

Most peo p le throw enough scraps into the garbage each day to feed dozens of small undernourished song birds. "Set these, scraps aside for ofir feathered friends," suggests the assistant director.

"This would be a wonderful project for the young people."

At first only a few birds may come for the food; however, once they learn that food will be waiting for them in your backyard, they'll 'return daily in flocks.

Wednesday, March 17, 1960 Austin is difficult to assess an over-all value to fish sand game," writes T. D. 'Carroll in his interesting article, -Pa say on Texas Game," in the March of "Texas. Game and Fish". "The values are often neglect: ri or consider_ ed intangible- when the eco;a:rnist views this natural resource."

Carroll, acting director of information and education, 5 - :x Conic and Fish Commission, points out that according to the Crossley Survey, 1,625,000 Texans spent over $165 million for hunt_ ing and fishing in the state in 1955.

This is over $27 million more than the value of 3,882,574 tons of sulphur, 533,242 tons of common salt, 594,855 tons of lime, 1,349,434 tons of crude gypsum, 3,103,359 tons of clay, 139,396,188 cubic feet of helium, and $115,000 worth of gem stones produced in the State that same year.

Your Friend', Christopher (Skipper) Spence ) LODGE 154 & FORT WORTH SOKOL NEWS (Delayed)

Dean Members and Friends, Our Junior Sokol had a Valentine Dance, Feb. 12. There was such a nice turn out of teenagers. It makes one proud to see such a wonderful group of Youngsters. The music was furnished by a teenage combo.

Mrs . Vonie Watson and Mrs. Mary Renfro were kept very busy all evening making hot dogs, French fries and s etts . Thank you so much Mothers.

At 7:30 p.m Manday and Wednesday nights are drilling nights for the Jun- , ors and Seniors. Tuesdays at 7:30 are drilling nights for 13 year olds and under.

The Mardi Gras Dance was so nice. I believe there were more in c o s t um e than ever before. Three prizes were given to adults and three for the youngsters. Jerry and Rome Milan took first place. Jerry was supposed to be dressed as a knight in armor, but he couldn't find what he wanted so he cut the bottom out of a garbage can.

(Garbage and all). Rome was the ad'ded attraction. He was the fly. Now every time the garbage men come for the garbage Rome thinks they are taking his daddy away. Second place went to Mrs. Helen Paprskar. Third went to Grover Watson and Rosie Steinman.

My daughter said "Mother you didn't need a costume to win the bubby prize."

Oh she has quite a sense of humor — but then all teenagers do now a days.

First prize went to Jerry Charles Mason. He was !dressed just right. His costume was a stick of dynamite. Second place went to Janie and Frankie Prochaska. Third place went to Andy Watson. The latter two were the coolest dug

beatniks we have scan around our pad in a long time. I think everyone enjoyed the dance, and the a .iusic was furnished

by Joe Milan's Orchestra. This was the last dance until after Lent.

Being this was the last dance the hall will be open every day from 6 to 12 p.m. So everybody come on out whenever you can.

At the .Sokol meeting Sun :ay plans were being made for the improvement and expansion of our hall. So don't be surprised if you drop in and see us in our blue jeans with a paint brush, hammer or saw in our hand. Better yet, put on your duds and join us. Everybody come out and, help us improve our hall.

This last month saw 12 year old Paul Burnette celebrate his 3rd birthday. (He was born on February the 29th) Also Joe Milan celebrated his birthday on March the first. I would tell you how old he was, but you won't believe me!

The next SPJST meeting will be Mar. 13 All the ladies are again asked to bring pastries and sandwiches.

Bingo will be played after the meeting.

We will be looking forward to seeing. you there.

Fraternally yours, Rose Steinman
