V pfidtich nekolika inesicich budou se v Sestnacti statech Unie a v Distriktu Columbijskein oc1bYvati presidentske pri manly, p •i nicht voliel zvoli asi 40 procent delegatti na republikanshou a demokratickou narodni konvenci.

Presiilentske primarky jsou ryze \reef strany t. j. katdd z hlavnich politickyCh stran odbYva vlastni primdrky, a skoro v katdem ptipade republikani hlasuji v ropublikanskYch primarkach, demokrate v clernokratickYch. KatclY stat ma vlastni primarky -- to jest, ma-li viabec jake — a .sain rozlioduje o tom, kdy' a kde primarky uspotada.

Takoveto pkedbetne hlasovani je v riazn3ch statech tozliene, ale celkovY prtibCh je asi takovYto, tekneine, te p •edaci narodni strany deMokraticke pri.soudi mei-team statu dvacet delogatti, ktere tento stat ma pcslati na demokratickou konvenci, na nit se zvoli 'presidentskY kandidat teto strany.

Dear Readers The following Report of Brother Joe B. Bejny was published ha our Czech Section of our last Vestnik. To conform with his wishes it is now published in the English Section.

VICE-PRESIDENT'S REPORT Dear Sisters and Brothers: It is indeed a pleasure to make my pre-convention report of my activities as Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge of the Slavonic Benevolent order of the State of Texas, (SPJST) beginning with January 1, 1957 to December 31, 1959.

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 Supren-c Lodge approved and lopted the new Preferred Risk Ordinary Life and the 5 - 10 and 20 Year Term Certificates. The rates and Beneft- Tables had to be worked up and pr'nted 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 co many years were also printed.

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

V2STNIK — WEST, TEXAS 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 nurerous 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 a lot of time for research and preparing of the forms before they were adopted.

It was about this time the Supreme Lodge decided that we needed a printing press on which we could print all the forms we used in the office, and I am 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 ot reasonable prices and whenever there was a change made, all the printed forms were obsolete and had to me 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 eliasinated. All printing is being done during our lull periodS and is done by the same employees which we always had. Therefore, there isi 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 communities 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, Ledge Meetings, Celebrations, Picnics, Initiation of new members, installation of ()Ulcers 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 ledge 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 did have several 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

Wednesday, April 20, 1960 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.

Since the duties and responsibilities of the office of the Vice-President are of such nature that they overlap with those of the President, I will not go into 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, rejections, changes of beneficiary, commissions to organizers, medical fees and issuing of certificates is done in the underwriting department, 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 period.

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 Manual.

This took many, many hours of research and composing, but I am happy to report that we have received many favorable comments on the Mannual 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 the Manual. Thanks to our Brother Editor Hosek who donated space in several consecutive issues of the Vestnik iust to print the contents of the Manual.

Wednesday, April 2,0, 1960 We have prepared a book with various games and playlets for our Youth Directors and now from time to time my secretary, Johnnie Ann Kristinek, prepares booklets with poems, playlets, recitals, games, etc., for the various seasions of the year, such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Valentine, Mother's and Father's 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 achievement. The Youth Directors keep record of all points earned by their members and at the end of the year' they submit the reports to us. These reports are judged and the three highest point meaobers in each lodge receive a prize, also the member with the highest amount of points in the District and State receive a prize. This contest has been well accepted by our Youth and we have received a lot of praise and comments from them.

Our Youth activities and interest in our lodge socials have increased considerably during the last three years and a lot of credit must be extended to our Youth as well as to our Youth Directors. Our Order is blessed by having such `capable Youth Directois as we have. We have a District Youth. Director in each 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 revived 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 comnaunities.

Under the guidance of our Youth Leaders, the SPJST has won first place honors in 1958 and tied for second place honors 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 Order who feel that we are spending too much time and money on our Youth. These same in dividuals keep repeating that we need to revive our lodge activities and yet they will block and undermine the only means by which they can actually revive, and keep up the Fraternal spirit in their lodges and District functions. 1 am happy to say that they are in the minority and getting fewer by the day.

VVIalaT, TEXAS

Sometimes I wonder if any of us really appreciate the work our Youth Directors are doing or if we are taking it all for granted. 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, and 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 youth maghers 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 should.

Th e Lodge and District Queen contests which were being held were well received by our members as well as the public 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, my schedule was so closely planned, I still did manage to study at night and complete 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.

Spring (Delayed)

Inasmuch as the publication of submitted changes of the By-Laws in the Vestnik takes precedence to other matter SG that it would all be completed by the Convention Issue, the Spring Meeting Reports: of the District are of necessity somewhat curtailed. We therefore ask your indulgence in this matter. The Convention Issue will then carry dedications to locige:s and their s activities .as well as brief articles on persons in the brotherhood, who by virtue of their leadership deserve these recognitions.

One would have never judged, that Sunday, March, 27, would be a record first in attendance. It is "guesstimated" that over 900 folks attended this Spring Meeting of District Three to fill Jaro/lair's, spacious Hall to capacity. There were re presentatives from five Districts and only two lodges in District Three were not 'represented at final roll call.

The registration of guests started at 9:30 and continued through to noon.

The president of our host lodge, Brother Robert Cervenka, of Lodge Saromir 54 called the meeting to order at 11:00 a.m. to invite us all to participate in the Pledge to the Flag. Thanking the visitors for coming, and the various committees in his lodges and youth leader from sister lodge Cottonwood for volunteering assistance: to District Three President for his pre-meeting visits for planning and sliggestions in preparing for the meeting; to the Pistriet Youth Leader Sister Firrima Ceska for leer trips and assistance, in fact all who helped to make this a memorable day, Brother Cervenka then turned the gavel over to the District Three President, Brother Sid Pokladnik.

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 nay trying times. Without their sincere assistance it would not have Brother Pokla,dnik then recognized been possible for us to achieve the the visiting dignitaries in 017r brotherhood progress which wa did during my tenure and officers of the Supreme Lodge.

Come to the 50th GoldenAnniversary District Treasurer Nesuda gave his of Lodge 88, Houston, May 7 and 8th. report.

Will you be there?

Bro. rokladnik : "I would like to say

Strana 14 that due to so much business we are going to eliminate a lot of unnecessary talking, we are going to shorten our speeches and we shall request only one officer from the Supreme Lodge to give Us a few words so that we can acc•mplish what we have to do today."

The Supreme Lodge Officiers Brothers Marek, Hejny, Ghupick, Koliha and Urbanovsky took their places of honor together with the Supreme Lodge attorney, to receive recognition followed by their wives en masse.

The Youth Leaders, District Youth Leaders, out of .district visitors and district visitors were recognized. District Three Queen was then introduced.

District Director Brother Cervenka gave a wry comprehensive report, figtrewise, on his work in the District in the last four years in handling real estate and loans for our Order. Due to his pertinence and numerals which are impossible to compare unless written on paper, the Vestnik will give his report separately sometime in the future. It is amazing how much business District Three has given our fraternal order in that specific length of time, and will prove informative to the membership.

District Organizer Brother Arnold Vrla gave his Report for the past year, naming Brothers Rudy Krizan, John Krizan, Stanley Vrla and J, R. Bartek to the 25,000 Club, while Brother Ben Jarmo.. made the 50,000 Club; Brother Emil Petr the $75,000 Club and Sister Anna Milan the $100,000 Club. Brother Vrla thanked all for their efforts.

Brother Marek called the Meeting "Another Step Forward" in that our Youth Movement was now the Contest of Miss SPJST at our Convention in San Antonio in June.

Lauding his Vice-President, Brother Joe Hejny in this Youth Movement and that of his Organizational Department, Brother Marek stated that it was the duty of every adult to foster the Youth Movement. Speaking of Juvenile Delinquency which we read about and see on TV programs, Brother Marek stated that when parents are not concerned with their children, the children become the concern of the public, the people. We see Youth Movetrients being formed in churches, schools communities in welfare work; and Brother Marek asked "why not in our fraternal order?"

Brother Marek stated that the brotherhood looked on with pride at the crowning of girls in the lodges; the eliminations in the District to compete for the highest title, that of Miss SPJST of 1960.

Dr. Malik acknowledges pleasure as representing his lodge at the District Meeting.

The line was four deep at noon and the good sisters of West Lodge really had to hop to keep the trays filled with food. They had a very sumptuous meal, attractively served, tasty, and the coffee hot. In the hour and forty-five minutes allotted them, they served that capacity crowd. Even though they were tired after the rush, their feet hurt from being on them from early morning, they were all so happy at the success of this project.

The tables were cleaned in record time and no time was lost in calling the meeting to order again for the long afternoon session.

Sister Emma Ceska, District Three Youth Leader takes the microphone.

She welcomes everyone and explains on what points the girls would be judged Personality, Poise, Beauty, Speech and Talent. They will be called out by number only, drawn from a hat.

What has the SPJST done for you?

What do you -think of the SPJST? etc.

The s- e questions the girls .liad to ann., having no previous inkling what would be asked them, and on this they were judged. As stated before, because of the necessity of brevity, only the highlights were givan, but hope the pictures taken of the group would make up for it in the Vestnik.

Lovely Jerry Ann Urban was declared winner, to represeiat District III at the Convention with 399 points. Second place was a tie between Sisters Janie: Hubik of Lodge No. 6 and La Nelle Ceska of Lodge No. 66 both having 364 points.

Where tuere is a marked shortage of the Teen-Age group as in Cottonwood, but an abundance of younger and school age youth; these young Club leaders are being endoctrinated at a tender age, so that by adulthood they will have deep roots in fraternal leadersinp.

Every Child should bring six colored eggs and a basket to put them in. The children will be divided into two age groups, this way they all have an even chance to hunt for eggs.

The teenagers may bring skates as there is a concrete floor for skating.

They may also bring a record player and records for their own entertainment.

The Lodge will furnish soft drinks and prizes in the Easter Egg Hunt. Everyone is invited to come so do come out and make this a successful evening. I know that everyone does like to spend an evening out :doors especially in a nice park.

The weather is windy, especially the last few days. The farmers had to go to the fields in a hurry and pulverize the soil so that the, loose dirt wouldn't destroy the crops, All we need now is plenty of sunshine so that the cotton and' milo can grow.

The Past winter we had a very good garden, in fact the best we ever had, At present I'm making sauerkraut, our cabbage is exceptionally good. I also froze a lot of vegetables. We also have a nice spring garden going, but it also needs more sunshine and less wind.

Don't forget the date April 24th and you parents do bring the youngsters.

Mrs. Mary Sulak will be there with the coffee pot for us adults so let's all make this a must on this Sunday.

This is truly the most beautiful time of the year. There are patches of bluebonnets, pink and white buttercups and various other flowers. The air is full of perfume from the flowers and what I like best is the smell of the freshly plowed earth and there is a lot of that as the farmers are cultivating their crops. After several years of drought we really notice and appreciate the flowers this spring.

The fields are ribbons of green. The small plants are beginning to show up across the rows and soon the fields will be blanketed with a various shade of green.

The crops are doing unusually well, because we haven't had much of those March winds. Maybe they will blow in April, but April is half over and no wind so maybe we will be spared this year.

I want to remind all of the members and invite our friends to come and spend the Sunday afternoon, April 24, that is the Sunday after Easter, to the Nueces County Precinct 2 , park and picnic grounds near Banquet. We are going to have an Easter egg hunt for the children and you ladies bring some sandwiches or something baked such as Kolaches, pies, or cakes. The outing begins at 3:00 P.M. or those of you who do not know were the park is. It is a beautiful place about 10 ,a tiles west of Robstown on the Alice Highway and about a mile west of Banquet. As you go west it is on the left hand side of the Highway just before you get to the agua Dulce Creek.

A new attraction is the Friendship Bridge. It spans the Agua Dulce Creek in the Park.

We have a place reserved for the occasion from Commissioner Sahlatura, therefore we will not have to worry about a good clean and shady place.

This is a very beautiful place for pie-

As people always seem to leave everything to the last minute and then stand in line. Now that the dead line for the sale of car licenses is past we do not have too much to do.

Mrs , Bessie Petr, Who was in charge of the entertainment, accompanied those who performed to the church.

The talented Adarricik Sisters, Pat and Cathy, played several numbers on their accordions. They presented as their numbers two peppy polkas and a song entitled, "Open Up Your Heart and Let the Sun Shine In The latter was also sung by the younger sister, Pat. These two sisters play their instruments with a style distinctly their own and they are known throughout the state as accomplished accordianists.

Two new and very talented metrobers of our Lodge, Linda and Keith Moore, played and sang three songs, which the audience enjoyed very much. This brother and sister team are known throughout the city as the Shamrocks. They sing over one of the radio stations here in Dallas. The brother, Keith, plays the guitar while his sister sings. They have a large repertoire of songs including rock and roll, ballads and religious hymns.

The entertainers and Mrs. Petr received a very delicious dinner for their time and trouble.

Lodge 84's' Teen Age Club is very proud to have had these four fine entertainers to represent them.

Now, I must write about our Lodge 66. As our monthly meeting was held April 3, we had a short program and Easter Egg Hunt. We all had a wonderful time. Then we had our Buffet Supper and it was delicious. We all had more than we could eat. We also had visitors. It was nice to again see the Editor and his wife, Mr, and Mrs. Hosek.

Our next meeting will be May 1st and we hope to see all of you members.

Sincerely yours, Helen Kolenovsky ) • 4 • ( ELM MOTT, TEXAS (Delayed) Dear Brothers and Sisters, Last month our Teen Age Club went on a wiener roast at the K.C. Camp.

There was about 25 boys and girls there and twelve chaperones. Everyone that came can truthfully say they just couldn't have held another bite. , We played volley ball and games— also danced to a record player. We all had loads of fun.

Last Sunday we went to visit my great Aunt and Uncle at Elk. They are Mr. and Mrs. Adolf Novara of Lodge 35. We went out to help Uncle Adolf celebrate his 66th birthday , We had plenty of food and fun for all that attended the celebration.

This Sunday we will celebrate my grandmother's birthday. We will all be in West at the meeting but will still have fun.

I guess everyone will think all we do is have ban.

I also have to work hard because I haven't missed but half a day of school this year. I love to go to school and learn as much as I can. My favorite subject is arithmetic.

I have to close for now and help mother so we will have everything ready to go to West, Sunday. I hope to see all of you soon.

WACO LORRE NO 66 Dear Members, i have been very busy with my homework the past week. Time is flying bY SO fast that school will be over too soon.

Summer vacations are just around the corner but after the rains we had I do believe everyone is glad to see some hot sunny days. Last Sunday when the weather was so pretty we enjoyed the day in the country.

Speaking of having fun as a Teen age member I must tell everyone what a wonderful time we had on our wiener roast. Th night was perfect for the roast and it was well attended. We had more than enough food and drinks'. Our chaperones were wonderful to join in the fun. I can only say the ones that missed the wiener roast missed a good time.

We are looking forward to helping our Youth leader with the Easter Egg Hunt next Sunday. I hope we have a good turnout for this special day for the younger set, with their colorful baskets and the beautiful eggs that they will be finding. Hope to see all of you soon.

Yours truly, Zephyr Spence ♦ 4, • SPJST LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS To the Supreme Lodge Officers, District Officers, Local Lodge Officers, Members, and Friends, On the occasion of the recent spring meeting of District 3 I had my first privilege to become acquainted with Lodge Jaromir in West. After attending Mass in the lovely Church of the Assumption, my family and I arrived at the spacious hall of Lodge Jaromir.

From the very moment that I entered the door of this lodge hall, I knew that here was a place at which. I was among many friends even though there were some people I had not yet met. Some people may refer to West as a small town, but I'll grant you that no other town or city abides in such a warm and friendly atmosphere as does that wonderful town of West.

I enjoyed very much chatting with the members of Lodge 54 and also with the members of other lodges. It was such a wonderful feeling to have been an such hospitable people, both young and old.

VESTNIK — WEST, TEXAS I enjoyed especially meeting the contestants for the Miss SPJST Contest.

Although I knew many already, there were a few whom I met for the first time. I really had a wonderful time with them.

Each of the contestants were treated to a very delicious dinner at the meeting. We were rather pressed for time, however this did not keep us from enjoying the delightful lunch prepared by the sisters of Lodge 54.

Immediately after eating the contestants left the hall to begin dressing for the contest. I was one of the fortunate ones to have prepared for the contest at the home of Sister Janie Hubik, District Three's lovely Queen.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle in our attempt to arrive back at the hall for the julging. When we returned we each were given a very beautiful white carnation corsage, courtesy of District Three, Each of us became very excited as the time for the judging drew rapidly near. To determine our place in the presentation, we drew numbers from a box. The doors to the kitchen were closed as each candidate was called to appear before the five judges. When I, contestant number two, was called, it seamed as if my heart were beating so quickly and so loudly that everyone could hear it. The President of District Three asked me three questions. As I answered the questions I prayed to our Infant Jesus of Prague for enlightment.

Then, as each of us went through our talent numbers we were called back one at a time for final appearance before the judges. A little later we were again called back and presented with a lovely gift. Finally, the judges set forth their "verdict" to the District's President who in turn announced the awaited\ results to the membership. When it was announced that I, Lodge 84's contestant, had been selected a great wave of happiness came over me. However, it was not just the fact that such a great honor as this was being bestowed on me that made me ha ppy, but it was the fact that it was my Mother Lodge who would be representing District Three in the contest in San Antonio. I was presented a very beautiful trophy, one that I shall cherish from now until always.

I regret to say that I did not congratulate the two girls who tied for second place honors when I made my "victory" speech , Thus, I would like to take this' opportunity to wish by warmest congratulations to Sisters LaNelle Ceska from Lodge 66, Elm Mott and Janie Hubik from Lodge 6, Cottonwood. It couldn't have happened to two nicer girls. If it is permissable, I would like to say

Strang these few personal comments to the other girls who participated in the contest a ed who did such a remarkable job.

To Dee nna Vrla, Lodge 130 Dallas: "We really did have a lot of fun, didn't we? Always stay as sweet as you are."

To Judy Hrabina, Lodge 25, Ennis: "Take it easy on the curves!"

To Irene Hejny, Lodge 135 Ennis: "Despite the burnt hole all went well, didn't it?"

To Helen Odom, Lodge 154 Fort Worth "It was fun meeting you and my little niece still thinks you are a doll!"

To Jay Deene Volcik, Lodge 54 West: "I enjoyed meeting you and I hope to see you again."

To Carol Zich, Lodge 92, Fort Worth: "Be real sweet and I hope to hear you play your accordion again very soon."

To Peggy Vicha, Lodge 35, Elk: "Keep up your fine record of insurance sales."

It was truly a wonderful experience to have• participated in the contest with such wonderful girls. I'll never forget the fun we had with 'each other.

Nor will I ever forget the wonderful members Who made it passible for me to haVe taken• part in the contest. My sincerest thanks to District Three for the gifts and for thedistinction of being selected our District's representative for the convention contest. I hope with all my heart that I will be able to represent our District in a manner befitting.

I shall never be able to repay you all for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity, Certainly God is well pleased with such a wonderful organization as our SPJST. May He bless it with continued success in the years to come.

Again I thank you from the depths of my heart for the wonderful things that have happened to me by being a member of the SPJST. With very sincere gratitude to you all, I am, Jerry Ann Urban ♦ "FRIENDS FOREVER" Thank you for your friendly heart ..

For being kind and true . . . Thank you for each cheerful word . .. And just for being you . . . Friendship never meant so rr4u\ch . ... Until the day we met . . .
