S pkanim 18-temu sjezdu mnoho zdaru, zilstavain S bratrskYm pozdravem Joe 13. )♦ •( VICE-PRESIDENT'S B7PORT Dear Sisters and Brothers: It is indeed a pleasure to nrike my pre-convention report of my activities as Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge of the Slavonic Benevolont Order of the State of Texas, (SPJST) beginning with January 1, 1057 to December 31, 1959.

Ve sttedu, dne 13. dubna 1960 Even though the office of an active Vice-President was new and not established, we have made great progress and in many instances history of the SPJST. When I first came to the Supreme Lodge office January 1, 1957, there was no office space available for me, so in order that I could be located on the same floor as the other officers were, we decided to convert the waiting room into an office for me. however we soon discovered it was too small and inconvenient so we had to do away with the reception room and convert it into an office room which I now occupy.

Being fully aware of the responsibilities vested in the office of the VicePresident by the convention in 1956 and the great need for research work in the Insurance Department as well as in the Youth Department kept me busy and working long hours each day.

One of the first things we did was to prepare the rates and, benefit tables for the 10 and 15 Pay Life Certificates for children under 10 years of age. Since then the Supreme Lodge approved and adopted the new Preferred Risk Ordinary Life and the 5 - 10 and 20 Year Term Certificates. The rates and Benefit Tables had to be workOd up and printed and delivered to our organizers and of course the new certificates had to be approved by the Insurance Department of the State of Texas before they could be placed on the market.

This law came into effect September 1957, prior to that time the Fraternal Insurance Association did not have to have their certificates approved, This alone took a lot of research and preparing of the certificates in such a manner to meet the requirements of the Insurance Department.

The new rate books which we needed for so many years were also printed.

This again took a lot of time in revising and preparing the material before they could be printed.

We were in need of so many various forms and applications such as the nonmedical applications for children, applications for settlement options, applications for pay or insurance, applications for double indemnity insurance, and many more too numerous to mention in this report. We were writing the above for many years, but we had no application forms for them.

All of this took lot of time for research and preparing of the forms before they were adoptdd.

Vt ST NI — WEST, TEXAS happy to report that the printing machine has saved us a lot of money since we purchased it. Previously we had to buy our printed stock in large quantities in order to be able to buy it reasonably and whenever there was a change ;made, all the printed forms were obsolete and had to be discarded, with the resulting tremendous waste. Now we buy our paper in large quantities for a very nominal price and we print our forms as demand requires it and waste was eliminated. All printing is being done during our lull periods and is done by the same employees which we always had. Therefore, there is no extra expense involved in printing our own forms.

We have appointed District Organizers in each of the seven Districts and tried to give schooling to our organizers as much as we possibly could. We have made it possible to have several organizers attend' the Fraternal Seminar at S.M.U. in. Dallas every year and we were having organizers schools in various comuaunities as often as time permitted. Most of these schools were held at night and the response was very gratifying. I only regret that we could not have them more often, but due to all the District Meetings, Lodge Meetings, Celebrations, Picnics, Initiation of new members, installation of Officers in Youth Clubs, besides the routine office work kept me so busy that I just could not possibly work my schedule any closer than I did.

We had the pleasure of organizing a new lodge in Beaumont. (Thanks to Brothers Cerny and Skrabanek, who played a big role in helping to organize this lodge.) During this three year period we had two lodges to disband, they were Lodge No. 144 and Lodge No. 150.

We k,itid have severeal Lodges which were dorment and inactive but during this three year period they have increased their membership and revived their lodge activities. By pure determination and co-operation of all our Organizers, Youth Directors, District and Lodge Officers, our Youth and. Membership of the SPJST we were able to increase our membership in record breaking numbers, and the progress of the SPJST was very gratifying.

If you will please refer to the reports of progress in other parts of this Vestnik, you will note that we have had very productive years. Thanks to all of you who helped us in any way to gain this achievement.

Strana 3 to detail of what all was done in this office because it is being reported by the President and it would only be a repetition and waste of space in the Vestnik. All such routine work as new applications, conversions to other certificates, confidential reports, rejec tions, changes of beneficiary, commissions to organizers, medical fees and issuing of certificates is done in the underwriting departh-Aent, which falls under the supervision of both the President and Vice-President. However, I would like to report the amount of insurance written by the Districts in the three year period, they are as follows: District One $ 691,000.00 District Two 644,000.00 District Three 1,972,500.00 District Four 149,500.00 District Five 1,692,500.00 District Six 946,000.00 District Seven 733,500.00 Grand Total $6,835,000.00 Please refer to Brother Marek's report for other recapulations of insurance written during the three year periotl.

The Youth Department is also under my supervision and this is where I really had to start from scratch. There was no literature whatsoever available at the Supreme Lodge Office.

First we undertook the task of formulating the Youth Directors Manuel.

This took many, many hours, of research and composing, but I am happy to report that we have received many favorable comments on the Manuel both from our members as well as from other Fraternal associations who had the opportunity to see it at our display at 'the Texas Fraternal Congress. I am sure that most of you are familiar with the contents of this Manuel. Thanks to our Brother Editor Hosek who donated space in several consecutive issues of the Vestnik just to print the contents of the Manuel.

We have prepared a book with various games and playlets for cur Youth Directors and now from time to time my secretary, Johnnie, Ann Kristinek, prepares booklets with poems, playlets, recitals, games etc., for the various seasons of the year, such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Valentine, Mothers and Fathers Days, etc. These are delivered to our Youth Directors in the various lodges who have selected and reported the Youth Directors to this office.

We also sponsor a contest on youth Since the duties and responsibilities It was about this time the Supreme Lodge decided that we needed a print- of the office of the Vice-President are achievement. The Youth Directors keep ing press on which we could print all of such nature that they overlap with record of all points earned by their the forms we use in the office, and I am those of the President, I will not go in- members and at the end of the year

S-trana 4 they submit the reports to us , These reports are ji.dged and the thace highest point members in each lodge receive a prize, also the member with highest amount of points- in the DiStrict and etate receive a prize, This contest has b(eu well acc---pted by our Youth and we have receivd a lot of praise and coinramt3 frcoa them, Our Youth, ,activities and interest in our' lodge socials have increased consi,ferably during the last three years and a lot of credit must be extended to our Yotith as well as to our Youth Directors. Our Order is blessed by having such capable Youth Directors as we have: We have a District Youth Director in _such District and many local lodge Youth Directors. They are directly responsible for some of our increase in membership as well as the new interest acquired in our lodge activities. We have many lodges who have increased, their membership and reviveld their lodge social activities due to having organized Youth Clubs. The SPJST Order has received much recognition by the public due to our Youth having performed at various functions in their communities.

Under the guidance of our Youth Leaders, the SPJST has won first place boners in 1958 and tied for second place hollers, in 1959 for their display of Youth activities in the Texas Fraternal Congress. They have proven that if given the Opportunity and support that they are capable of promoting interest and activity in our lodges, districts, and the SPJST Order, and yet we have a few individuals in our 01aer who feel that we are spending too much time and money on our Youth-. Thee same individuals keep repeating that we need to revive our loidge activities and yet they will block and underMine the only ty,eans by which they can actually reviveand keep up the Fraternal spirit in their lodges and District functions. I am happy to say that they are in the minority and geuting fewer by the day.

Sometimes. I wonder if any of us really apreciat.? the work cur Youth Directors are doing or if we are taking it all forgranted. These Youth Directors are usually the choice of the lodge and district. They are entrusted with our youth and their activities. They have to do a lot of planning and organizing in their youth programS and activities. They have to be teachers, leaders, judges, etc.

They spend a lot of time and have expenses) also, send what do we give them in return for all of this; in many instances they are unfairly criticized.

We have several lodges who are sponsoring baseball clubs. This also helps in promoting interest among our young

VESTNTK — WEST, TEXAS members and gives the SPJST a good deal of publicity. This also is being taken for granted by many of us and we don't give the clubs the support we The Lodge and District Queen contests which were bein g held were well receiv,ai by our membership as well as the t. ablie and brought the SPJST a lot of good recognition. Besides the increase of membership and interest in promoting lodge and District activities.

My work has always been inspiring and enjoyable and I ,am happy to report, that even though (nay schedule was so cibsely planned, I still did manage to study at night and completed my advance course in the Fraternal Insurance Counselors, passed' my examination and received' a full Fraternal Insurance Counselors designation and I assure you that if you should give me the honor of re-electing me to office, I would certainly appreciate it, and that I would try my very utmost to serve you to the best of my abilities. In conclusion I wish to take this opportunity to thank all the officers, and office personnel fOr the splendid cooperation 'and assistance extended me during my trying times. Without their sincere assistance it would' not have been possible for us to achieve the progress which w.e did during my tenure of office.

With best wishes to the 18th Convention of the SPJST, I remain Fraternally yours, Joe B , Hejny )* ( Zprava tajemnika Hlavni firadovny S.P.J.S.T. VSEM SESTRAM DELEGATKAM A 113RATRUM DELEGATDM XVIII SJEZDU SLOVANSKE roo p oRuJicf JEDNOTY JEDNOTY STATU TEXAS, (S.P.J.S.T.).

Predem timto zpilsobern vyslovuji moje uprimne diky v gem eleniim, ildihn a , delegatam za to, '2e jste udelili mi tu nej vetgi east, kterou mohli dat ktereraukoliv elenu nadi Jednoty tim, 2e ye mne v moji schopnosti mate dtiveru, ae mne znovu zvolili do iffadu pravniho radce.

Ujigt'uji Vas, 2e já s moji tti tfl spoled nici sobe vaime te cti a 2e jsme vdeci etyri vkly pracovali, uprimne, pozorne a ye prospech na gi Jednoty a nadich Men& Prace pravniho radce kahlorodne pri IstSrva, se vat:Cistern dlenstva a tunrtniho fondu; take pribYva prace ostatnim trednikurn. V roce 1920 Jednota mela jednoho irrednika, br. John R. Kubena, v iiradovne; ostatni trednici hepracovali v irradovni. I v roce 1920 Jednota mela miti vice pomocne sily v Hlavni Aradov ni pomahati bratru John R. Kubena pro to, 2e jeden ilrednik nernohl vesti vgec ké zapisky tak dukladne jak mely laSt a jako on sobe pral.

Skoro veechen fimrtni fond byl ulolen do pozemkovYch pujeek od prvniho ledna 1957, proto Ze to pkinese Jednote vetei piijem neZli bondy a akcie. V roce 1920 Jednota mela jen jednoho pravnika kterY byl jenom easteene zamestnan s praci pro Jednotu. Dnes Reuben B. Leeikar, Stanley Hach', Sidney Kacit a já veichni dle potteby pracujeme pro Jednotu. Neni mono aby jeden pravnik sam vykonal veecku praci pro Jednotu v dobe kdyZ funrtni fond je u1oen do pozemkovYch pujeek a `take konal jinou praci pro Jednotu.

Dle stanov elanek 43: pravnik musi peClive sledovati zakony tYkajici se bratrkYch jednot a zastupovati Jednotu a is dy ye yeech pravnich zalelitostech. Zkou ma abstrakty a listiny pozemkove dkive ne Z Illavni Ukadovna pujeku uzavie. — Glanek 22: Pravni radce musi bYti pHtomen ye veech schtzich (mini VYbor na opravu stanov) a udileti rady. Tyto dva olanky davaji pravnimu radci rnalo pro ce. Ale v praksi ma mnoho jinYch povinosti.

Following this promptly we will have the dramatic club presenting a Czech play called "Ruze Prerie" ( (Rose of the_Prairie). The play is classified as a comedy operetta and will be the best ever given by the dramatic club, Some say this might be our last Czech play if we don't get enough to attend. So, let's all plan to attend this Czech play, because the actors have been in continuous practice since the first week of January and it's gratifying that they would spend so much free tihae to give its members a good play.

They have been coining to our lodge for five months, sometimes as many as 3 nights a week practicing, now, couldn't you a member show your appreciation to them and come just one day, May 8th to watch them perform. If there is a fraternal spirit in your heart I am sure you will be there and they will be ever so proud.

E gal Advisor of the Supreme Hach, The above is the only reference as to Lodge o the SPJST, requesting a written

Strum 22 legal interpretation and opinion concerning several Supreme SPJST ByLaws and the District Two By-Laws which pertain to the election of the District nominees for District Director, District Representative to the the Supreme By-Law Committee, and an alternate for each position.

The main question in my letter was whether (1) all the district members must be allowed to nominate and vote on this matter as specified in the Supreme SPJST By-Law 68 (f) or (2) the district members could delegate their voting rights in this matter to the newly elected convention delegates as specified in the pertinent District Two ByLaw which states "In the regular district meeting just before a state SPJST convention, the newly elected delegates to said convention shall nominate a District Director and alternate to the Supreme Lodge and a (member and alternate for the Supreme SPJST By-Law Committee. Nominations shall be by written ballot and shall be based on the number of eligible convention voters of each, lodge on April First of the Convention Year."

In my letter I also invited Brother Ka.cir to attend and participate in a discussion of this matter at a District wo Officers planning Meeting in Temple on the night of March 24. Brother Kacir was present at the meeting, which was reported upon in the April 6 issue of the Vestnik, and participated in the discussion concerning the district nominating elections. Since we did not understand Brother Kacir as having ruled at that time that our subject District Two By-Law was a violation of any Supreme SPJST By-Law, the District Two Officers voted to proceed in accordance with the subject District Two By-Law. As district president, I promised to send, to each local lodge secretary in District Two, a letter of explanation and forms to be completed to certify the names of the newly elected delegates and voting strength for the purpose of the nominating elections which were to be held at the April 24 District Two meeting in. Taylor. I sent copies of the letter and forms to each of the 18 local lodge secretaries in District Two on lact March 30. I also 'mailed copies of the letter and forms to Brother Kacir andto Brother Hosek for publication in the April 6 issue of the Vestnik.

On last April 5 I received a letter from Brother Kacir stating that we had apparently misunderstood each other at the March, 24 meeting and advising me that our above quoted District Two By-Law concerning the nominations elections in the district con-

VtSTNiK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; WEST, TEXAS flict with Article 115 of the SPJST ByLaws adopted in the 19'56 Convention.

He also referred to Articles 68 (e) and 68 (f) as having a bearing on the matter and used them in explaining the basis for mis decision.

Although I personally cannot agree with Brother Kacir on the one point which is the applicability of Article 115 which pertains to local lodges when the similar Article 68 (c) says essentially the same thing and says it specifically for the districts, I plan to abide by his decision, and therefore there will be no nominating elections in accordance with the provisions of our above quoted district two by-laws. Consequently, there is no need for the local lodges to certify to me the names of their newly elected convention delegates and alternates and convention votes. I hope that my letter requesting certification of this information has not caused you an inconvenience and concern.

Although our planned "method of voting" in the nominating elections, as specified in our subject District Two ByLaw has now, in effect, been voided by Brother Kacir's ruling, it appears to me, that we still will have the duty of electing these nominees at our District Two Meeting in Taylor on Sunday afternoon, April 24, 1960. Although the Supreme By-Laws of the ,SPJST are not very clear in calling for the nominating election, reference to page 43 of the English version of the printed minutes of the lalst ;SPJST Convention clearly indicates that the original intent of these by-laws as finally amended ! was to be that the nominees would be "nominated by districts and elected. by the district delegates at the convention." Consequently, it will be necessary for the members to consider the discharge of this duty at the coming district meeting and dispose of it in some appropriate manner which will not be a violation of Article, 26 of the Supreme By-Laws.

It is possible that the members present at the district meeting will consider it appropriate to leave, as I understand another district has done, both the nominating and electing of these representatives to the district delegates at the voming convention. This will be for the members to decide.

In order that all members of the district may express their views and wishes concerning this matter and the other business items to be considered at the meeting, I urge all of the local lodge officers of District Two to encourage their members to attend. this meeting. All Supreme Lodge officers and vislitotrs from other districts are, of course, also cordially invited to attend.

Wednesday, April 13, 1960 Other previously announced business -1.01: the meeting will be the election of new district officers and consideration of Camp Tahuayra as the site of our 1960 Youth Meeting.

Although the preparation for the business session of the coming district meeting seems to be requiring a considerable amount of correspondence and discussion before the meeting, it is hoped that the business can therefore be disposed of briefly at the meeting and we can utilize most of the time for the entertainment program, selection of Miss SPJST for District Two, and the other social activities of the meeting.

Please remember that the meeting will start promptly at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, April 24, 1960, and the Miss SPJST Activities will start at 2:00 p.m.

A detailed program for the meeting will be announced in the next issue of the Vestnik.

Fraternally, Calvin C. Chervenka President of District II ) 0 4 0 TO ALL MEMBERS IN DISTRICT 7 (Delayed) Sisters and Brothers: What would be the proper definition for brotherhood? According to the dictionary, brotherhood is the relationship of two male persons having the same parents, or the members of a fraternity or organization. Well that's. true, but I don't think it goes far enough. It is beyond all question that brotherhood is not just something we are born with or something we join. It is much more, something deep inside us, like, sincerity, understanding, loyalty and sound cooperation, that reaches out to the whole organization and everybody in it.

Why do I mention it? As you know, Sunday, May 1st is the day when Lodge Pokrok Houstonu No. 88, in Houston, will celebrate its 50th anniversary. With all arrangements ready, having it announced in the Vestnik, sisters and brothers in Houston were just sorry that it will interfere with, our district meeting to be held on the same day at Lodge La Parita No. 161 in Joudranton. They were thinking of this fact, till they made an unexpected decision. At the District III meeting held on March 27 at Lodge Jaromir No 54 in West, Texas, the officers and representatives of Lodge Pokrok Houstonu No. 88 solemnly announced that in order not to be in the way and to make it possible to attend our meeting, they postponed their celebration to the second Sunday in May â&#x20AC;&#x201D; May 8th. I believe that this is a wise and most friendly and brotherly decision, and that not only district seven

Wednesday, April 13, 1960 but the whole SPJST owe them very I much. We thank you, sisters and brothers, we will never forget it.

As district vice-president I airs happy to make this announcement to you, sisters and brothers, as it is really an outstanding example of brotherly cooperation. I hope that it would be very nice to show our sisters and brothers in Houston our gratefulness by attending their celebration by as many of us as possible. Let them know that, we, too, understand well the meaning of brotherhood.

Brotherhood has got to be nourishod and worked at, itjust goes not happen.

Where brotherhood is practiced, men. can live with a problem and still get along wi th each other with all tneir differences. The SPJST is a big family, it is our home and all the members are our sisters and brothers.

Jaroslav Kleprlik ) o-070 ° ( 50TH YEAR GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY LODGE NO. 88 Dear Fraternal Members and. Friends: We have only two weeks left to get prepared to come to our lodge's 50th Golden Anniversary celebration, which will be held at 1140 Robbie Street, Houston, Texas. on the 7th and 8th of May. Look in your Vestnik for the outlined detailed program for these two big days. Saturday we are having a dance by the 7 piece dance orchestra of Vaceks from Rosenberg, Texas. During the intermission time our youth directors, Mrs. M. Sefcik and Mrs. D. Kadlecek will present with their youth membership the renoun national dance "Beseda". On Sunday May 8th we will have a all-day celebration. A delicious Barbecue beef dinner will be served fro n 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m to your liking, a historical program from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m, followed by the youth Membership serving our 50th anniversary cake to all members and guests present, then at 3:30 p.m. the dramatic actorS of our lodge will present the never forgettable Czech play called "Raze Prerie".

Come and be classed as a supporting member of your lodge ... bring a friend, call a member and above all don't forget to bring your mother on that day.

As you know on that day (the 8th) it's also Mother's Day, so you sons and daughters give her a. treat and bring 'her to our celebration. I know she will he happy to come and see many of her good friends, don't forget her, bring her.

At this writting I don't know where to begin to thank the members who have come forward to 'help in this big celebration. These members have been working hard by the sweat of the brow the past five months in putting this

VESTNIK --® WEST, TEXAS 50th Anniversary Celebration together, and you are going to be surprised as to what they have all done to make yoU indeed proud of your Lodge No. 88.

These good members who are contributing so much of their time and effort 'to make this a success are indeed the onEs who carry the spirit of fraternalis and brothsuihood in their bearts at all times and please believe me when I say, that the least kind thing our membership should do, is come out and support this 5Gth celebration. Take for example, the Czech play the dramatic players, are putting on. This play is one that will be a rare exception, and you ask why? Well, first of all Brothers Svestka and Sefcik read some 70 Czech plays between them to come up with this one . . . and that took time, it's going to be a light comedy operetta with wonderful music and singing, and the big fact that the players have been coming to rehersals for the past 5 months, three nights a week to give a play that you will be proud of and never forget.

If perchance some member feels that all of us shouldn't come out and give, thied4 a pat on the back and a friendly fraternal hand shake, then to that member I wil say "brother you just don't have the fraternal spirit." Let's show our dramatic directors, A. Svestka and R. Sefcik that we, as members, still wish for them to give us the Czech plays. If, we have a good turnout for the play I am sure they will continue, if not, then you guess as to who should take the blame. Another example of how hard some of our members are trying to get memberst to come to our celebration is that one has put himself on a 24 hour basis to help, and is calling 5 members and friends a night until the celebration comes to its end. So if he calls five members a night and you, as the other member call one every other night, then how in the world can we be a failure. Da your part as a member. Come and' bring a friend, call a friend, and especially be there and be a part of our Big Celebration.

Women's Nook A SPECIAL. INVITATION FROM HOUSTON LODGE 88 A cordial invitation is extended to the Supreme Lodge Officers, Editor and his wife, District Officers, and other members and friends to help celebrate our Golden Anniversary of our Mother Lodge on May 7th and 8th. Preparations are being made by all the committees of the Lodge.

Please keep these two dates in mind, Saturday, and Sunday, May 7th and May 8th, at Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88, 1140 Robbie St. A special program is being prepared so please try to attend as we are looking forward to a large attendance.

SOME MORE CONVENTION TOPICS Houston, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: Today's letter is an continuation of my previous letter in our Vestnik. The figures I gave you, at that time were primarily average, using the same measure in comparing, for all our lodges. But today I have more accurate financial figures for you to look over and judge' for yourself. These are premiums collected from each lodge.• The Supreme Lodge issues these finan cial reports each month in our Vestnik.

Therefore these are true figures and not guesses.

Any one interested in saving our funds and not squandering them, please take time to follow and compare the cold black figures. Some voices will be raised in protest, saying for me to jump in the lake. Naturally that would be a very easy way out, and the intentions of de-.

Stra,na 24 thing, but why be unfair? Deliberately overlooking the fact, to curtail the rights of some. In this case the aim is directly pointed at the only source that produces and brings constant growth to our order. If we like it or not we have to admit, that without our large lodges we slowly would diminish. That is not a joke but a fact.

We have lodges up to the number 166.

Maw, 16, of these either disbanded or joined with another lodge. Up to date we have 150 lodges. In the 63 years of operation we organized 166 local Lodges and lost 10% of these, WHY? Because some of us are lenient and don't even try. Naturally it is so much easier to sit back, while our own children and in-laws are taken away from us by commercial companies. That reminds me of the lecture we had in the fraternal course at S.M.U. Our instructor stressed the fact, that any successful agent, in our case, organizer, must constantly be on his toes, even if the answers are 100 times "No" the next one might be "Yes" which we surely would miss if We had not tried. Just keep going and plugging and purely by accident we will run into 1 or 2 "Yes" answers in the vicinity of our inactive lodges. Let's wake up and start growing and stop griping.

Let's follow closely: Six (6) lodges remitted in 1959 from $83.00 annually to $150.00 annually in premiums to the ,Supreme Lodge. This amounted to $747.20.

The Supreme Lodge withheld 20% for expenses a total of $149.44. Six delegates, the cost for one, $171. amounts to $1,026.00 a shortage of $876.56. Membership 59. ' Fifty eight lodges remitting up to $1, 000 annually to the Supreme Lodge amounts to $30,136.89. Withheld 20% a total of $6,027.37. Expenses for 58 delegates' $9,918.00 a shortage of $3,890.63.

Membership 1,898.

Twenty Lodges remitting from $1,000 to -$2,000 annually — $27,600.79. Withh e ld 20% a total of $5,520.58. Expense for 20 delegates $3,420.00. Here we have a surplus of $2,100.58 and a membership of 1,158.

Now, Lodge No. 83 remitted in 1959 premiums $69,505.e8. Withheld 20% for a total of $13,901.61. Expenses for 15 deleaates representing over 1,500 members $2,565.00. Surplus of $11,336.61.

We at Lodge No. 84 are very proud that our Sister Jerry Ann Urban is the one to represent District III in the Miss SPJST competition. She has always been a hard worker and deserves this honor. The other girls from our lodge, as well as the others, should also be commended for their endeavors and efforts.

Wednesday, April 13, 1960 FROM DISTRICT I YOUTH DIRECTOR` Bryan, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters, We have, just come home from a meeting with the District No. 1 officers and the president and officers of the Bleiblerville Lodge as to a discussion on the district meeting which will be . held there on May 15th. We had a very nice meet ing and got everything concerned thrashed out. We will carry out the meeting in the following order.

Meeting to start at 2 p.m. sharp.

Welcome by the local president.

Opening of meeting by district president.

The Pledge; of Allegiance to the Flag.

America sung by all.

Moment of silence in respect to deceased members. Program of Youth and selection of District candidate for Miss SPJST. Roll call and introduction of distinguished guests.

Minutes, correspondence, and reports.

Unfinished business.

New Business Election of officers Speakers.

We have decided that we would not have tiMe for a prolonged program but would have a talent program, that is every child between the ages of 8 thru 18 that has any talent of any sort will be given a chance to demonstrate it. In return each child that takes part will receive a small gift of money.

This money will come out of our district youth fund, as it has in the past.

Seems asi if some of our members in our district still do not quite understand as to how the money that we receive from our Supreme Lodge for our Youth is used and why is our district asking for a free donation for a district fund.

I will try to explain this as to the best of my knowledge.

The money that we receive from, the Supreme Lodge for the promotion of our Youth work is to be used strictly for our youth and nothing else. Since, we have adopted in our last district meeting to have a youth, activity day in our district in 1960 we will need every penny of this money and then some.

Every child in the district if a member of the SPJST lodge or our youth club will be eligible to compete for prizes.

The day, place, and program as to this day has not been set, but this will be discussed in our next meeting. We expect to give all the money that will be left after our district meeting prizes have been taken care of to our youth in prizes in order of first, second and third prize in each event that will be judged.

This leaves us with no money for oth-

VESTNt K — WEST, TEXAS er expenses of the district officers as to mailing expenses, telephone calls and gasoline used in trips made concerning our district meeting. It was discussed, motion made and seconded, voted on and passed in our last meeting that we ask each lodge in our district to donate some money for this fund. This has been followed through by our district secretary and this is where the money will be used that is freely given by each lodge that feels it is their duty to do so.

I hope that this will clarify this and if you still have questions on this sub ject please feel free to ask them in our next meeting. We will have a full report on our youth fund and where the money has been used since I have been your district I youth director.

We are looking forward to seeing you in our next meeting so bye and don't forget that this is your meeting so be there or your place will be empty.

Very truly yours, (Mrs.) Lillie Matejka Your Dist. I Youth Director ♦ LODGE 88 HOUSTON, TEXAS Dear Members and Friends: We wish to thank everyone who came to our lodge on April 2 to support our chicken supper. We hope that everyone enjoyad the dinner and the movies that were shown afterwards. Special thanks go to Sister Frances. Olexa for her assistance in the kitchen that night and to• all the ladies who donated pastry.

Pastry is one thing that we always appreciate. Your assistance in donating pastry at our activities would be greatly appreciated in our future activities, also.

On April 30, once again we are going to have another chicken dinner. You will have your choice of either fried chicken of baked chicken served with other delicious items. Serving will begin ,at 5:30 p.m. Following the delicious meal, later that evening you will enjoy dancing to the music of the Houston Play Boys. You may once again dance to your heart's content as they will give you popular music as well as any of the good old polkas and waltzes. Once again, the date is Saturday, April 30, for the chicken dinner and dance. See you there!
