ODDI DOPISOVATELO fad 73. Seymour, Texas Sestry a bratii!

Jen par kadku ohledne schtze tadove ze se tentokrate misto prvni nedeli v kvetnu bude konat prvni sobotu to jest dne 7. kvetna co. jest sobota o 7 hodine weer. ftdd t. e se postara o vedeti. Tit prvni nedeli jsme zmenili k viili tomu, ze mnoho jich v tu nedeli jdou na ryby.

Tak se na tu sobotu dne 7. hled'te vgich ni do schtze dostavit.

S pozdravem, Joe WaS-ek Lockhart, Texas CterV br. redaktore a v gichni eleni SPJST:— Toto je odpoved.' br. Franku DuSkovi.

Bratie DuSku, prof jsi nepsal bratie Kotulane ty se mYliS. Ted' ti povim co me ptimelo dati navrh na opravu 51ho Clan ku. Byl to dopis a navrh na opravu toho elanku od bratra F. P. Kovat, Seymour, Texas. Dale bratr Jan Fojtik, elen fadu 73 a mistni stanovni vSrbor na opravu nekterST elankfi od Mau. Anton ‘e. ermak Cis. 56. Ten bratr, F. P. Kayak zaplatil — $918.00 a to je bez Arokia'. za 34 midi. Vypoeitej si "Compound interest" za 34 ro ktil na 3 procenta. Toto nenl vSe. Bratr Jan Fojtik zaplatil $746.64 za 35 rokt a do toho neeital iiroky a ty druhSr vydaje. Neboj se, ze mladi Cleat umiraji. Ti neumiou leda ze ho Kara zabije a nebo se piepije v noenim klubu.

Ted' ti nee° povim jak je to s temi po jistky. Pojistky jsou trojiho druhu: vlad ni pojistky, bratrske pojistky a obchod ni yYdeleene spoleenosti (vlastne bych met fici obchodni ArYdeleene pijavice).

Neni jeden den abych neobdrZel nejakou Skrabaninu abych si koupil nejakou Pojistku. Obyeejne to hodim do koAe. Doleji budu vice psati o obchodnich po jistkach.

Main dve pojistky, jednu na $1,000.00 u naSi Jednoty SPJST a druhou na — $3,000.00 a "National Service Life Insurance". Je to vladni pojistka a platim $15.30 mesiCne po 20 rokfi me star), bylo 59 mkt kdy jsem si ji vzal. Roku 1942 jsem si vzal tu vladni pojistku na $5000.00 byl jsem tehdy 49 rokil star a byla to prozatimni pojistka na 8 mku platil jsem $6.00 mesiene na 5 tisic dolart.

1950 tato 8mi leta pojistka byla zamenena na 5ti letou. Trochu jsem otalel a y e 1952 roce jsem ji zamenil na 20ti letou. Po dvou neb tiech letech vlada zaCala, platiti dividendy. Muj prvni divi-

dend byl $12.00. Od to doby vlada platila katclY rok yeti), a vetii dividendy. V roce 1959 jsem obdrZel dividend $34.56 a jak se dovidam ze spolehlivYch pramenti te v roce 1960 budou dividendy zase zvYieny. Nekdo namitne, te na to vlada plati. Nic podobneho, viechny vYlohy jsou hrazeny pojiitenci. Jedine co vlada z toho dostane je, ze drti penize rok bez Uro kn. Tolik o vladnich pojistkdch.

Ted' neco o tech obchodnich pojistkdch.

Peed 30ti lety prisel ku me agent od obchodni abych pojistil me dva kluky, jeden byl 5 let a druhY byl 3 roky na dvaceti letou pojistku. Elude to jen 15 centu tYdne. Well kozel to vzal to me nezabije tak jsem hoiky pojistil.

V tom samem ease on elate abych molt tenu tet pojistil. Rekl. jsern mu, te ji pojistita sam na 15 centu tYdne na 20 ro kit. Pokatde jak jsem platil pro hochy tak jsem 'dal do puneaky 15 centil kdyt tarn bylo trochu dolart tak jsem investoval ty penize a vYtetek jsem z toho tet dal do banky na 'tenni fispornY vklad. Agent me iekl, te to nedokatu a kdyt budu potiebovat te vytahnu vklady.

Po 10 letech me ten agent navitivil a s viteznYm Usinevem se mne ptal jak rani vklad pokraeuje. Ukazal jsem mu ban kovni knitku. On skoro omdlel kdyt seznal, te vklad byl nedotknutY a kdyt byl tak to bylo zplaceno zpot s 8 procent nim firokeni.

Po 20th letech jsem podal tadost vyplatiti me v hotovYch pro oba hochy. Na jed.noho jsem dostal $72.00 a na druheho $80.00. Po 21 letech jsme vyzvedli tenin vklad. Vite kolik tam bylo $375.60. Ted' vidite jak obchodni pojiit'ovny bohatnou na 'Calor poplatnikii.

Ten agent co div te neomdlel me pozval te me peedstavi jejich spoleenosti presidentu, te kdyby men vie takovYch zakaznikti te by za tii mesice zbankroto vali.

pojiit'ovny jsou v nekterYch peipaclech vySii o 15 centu mesierre na katclYch tisic dolara net brattske pojiSt'ovny. (To je svata pravda. -- Red.) Abych nezapomel bratr re:Jai:tor Hogel( v peed, sjezclove nvaze se let vhcidno zminil aby se poskytla nejaka lepii va starYm elentim vlastne eleniun ye till dach "A a B".

Obyeejne velice Uslutne zineni rozhovor na poeasi nebo na baseball a ne bo na gulf.

Na dotaz redaktora, zde mu odepsala, Vlasta Javoricka odpovedela: "Kratce a britce. At' jen si aye dolary poneeha, ne upiram, main 6 deti, penize potrebuji, ale sveho presvedeeni za ne neprodarn. Vyrostla jsem mezi lidem horskkm, telee pracujicim, zapasicim a kaadkin soustem, ale lidem charakternim, poctivkm. Mam svfij lid uprinine ra,da. MIA otec byl dok torem, lekarem.

As stated before, due to the pre-Convention requirement of printing changes of of our By-Laws submitted by the By-Law Committee, the spring District Meeting coverages will have to be substantially cut short. We ask your indulgence in the matter and also "delayed" letters of our beloved lodge Reporters. Thanks, — Editor.

Brother aril Kvasnicka, President of host Lodge 49, of Rowena, Texas, called their annual District Meeting to order at 1:45 p.m. Sunday, April 10, 1960, having first served a sumptuous meal to the gatherisg by the good lodge sisters.

Brother Louis Hosek, opened with a prayer and in unison all sang America, followed by the Pledge to the flag.

Brother Kvasnicka welcomed all in his opening address, noting that some traveled great distances to make the meeting and hoped all would have a most enjoyable time. He then turned the gavel over to the District Four President, Brother Broz, who was Master of Ccremonies for the whole program. .. [:?rot her J. F . Chu-pick, Secretary of the Supreme Lolge gave the response to Brother Kvasnicka's welcome, saying he and Brother Urbanovsky were delighted to be among the membership of the district. Brother Chupick explained that word: had been received that &wreme Lodge officers: President, Edward L. Marek; Vice-President, Joe B. Hejny; Treasurer John Koliha and Attorney, August Kann, had a car break dow and at present it was not known when they would arrive.

Sister Mary Haisler, District Four 'Youth Director presented her Youth Program and the District Four Candidates to the Miss SPJST Contest at the Convention. lovely Sister Helen Mach.

Master George Kocurek opened the Youth Program with a Czech peom, "Az Ja budu Veliky." He represented Lodge 73,

Wednesday, April 27, 1960

WEST, TEXAS

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiaitce 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."

Lovely Teen-Ager Charlyn Urban of Lodge 49 played "Sparkling" on the piano, followed by Sister Helen Mach of Lodge 73 playing and singing "U Studanky Sedela" and "Muziky, Muziky."

Tiny Judy Krupla sang a religious song in Czech, "Krasna Bias," Thus ended the Youth Program and Sister Haisler again urged lodges to appoint Youth Leaders so the District can become more active in the Youth Mbvement along with the other Districts in the brotherhood.

Roll call revealed only three lodges not repres'itinted, District Two, Three and Pour were represented at this meeting Reports given by the District Officers were approved as read, and Brother Broz recognized visitors from other districts and lodges.

Brother Chupick, Secretary of the Supreme Lodge gave a nice talk about the SPJST and what it represents. "You people as members of the SPJST can't do much about the management except to elect delegates to the Convention and your Convention elects its officers and Directors. Very much in the same manner when you have elections of the School Trustees in your school dist rict, you people elect the school trustees and the Trustees then elect the

P.O. BOX 0; TEMPLE, TEX.

Principal and Superintendent who then hire the local school teachers, it has al-. ways been my contention that our SPJST should be run somewhat on the sar De system.

You people throughout the State of Texas, don't have the time to devote very mach attention to how the Supreme Lodge should be managed; you have to delegate that to your officers and your directors, and for that reason it becomes important that you elect thb right kind of officers and directors and that you give them the right to exercise their judgement and conduct the affairs at the SPJST in an efficient and right manner; that you do not tie their hands with all kinds of restrictions or by-laws. I don't like to bring these things before you, it hasn't been very popular, but I always say that you should elect your Supreme Lodge Officers and Directors and when it comes to tying various duties to the various officers and directors: I would eliminate all of that from the by-laws, where it says our president should do so and so, our secretary so and so, and let these officers run the SPJST as best they know how. If you are sure' they don't know how, then get somebody else."

Brother Chupick gave an example of stockholders in a bank who made so many restrictions and counter-restrictions that they tied the hands of the bank personnel so that no one wanted to attempt to run the institution. Finally they realized that an experienced bank official should be given leway to run the business m he deeired best, provided it was efficient and produced the desired results• and that's the way the Supreme Lodge should be run.

"Brothers and siters," continued Brother Chupick," the SPJST is a big institution and we have to know the complete details of commerce, mortgages, organizational lines of institutions of all kinds, we've got to go in line with all of thoSe that we might be able to compete with them; we've got to be just as shrewd and alert as they are. It is vital today that the Supreme Lodge be submitted to one state of rule, to make it as brief as I can: Get good officers and

Wednesday, April 27, 1960 good directors and give them a little freedom to do what they deem best to do and don't be hasty in judging them for nine tunes out of ten you don't really know all the basis for their action.

That is the only way to run an institution, to run it efficiently on a business principles and I hope that the next Convention will enable us to carry on the Supreme Lodge SPJST in the best way that the Supream Lodge body can."

Brother Chupick also stated he hoped' for re-election to the work he has performed with sincere efforts and love in the past; that the SPJST has become an important part of his life, Brother Hosek then spoke, compile' menting the District on having so many persons present who still understand the Czech language. Cemplimented the membership for coming out in such numbers.

"You know, brothers and sisters, as Editor of your Vestnik, I hear a good many things, many of which you would never comprehend." In Czech: "I learn a lot of things even on our officers, but I keep them to myself, for what some of our `rebelantr write, would have us constantly fighting among ourselves, and I promised you that such fighting would not be .allowed in our Vestnik. If we are brothers and sisters, then we Trust act accordingly, while it is understood that we do have differences of opinion among ourselves, which is natural and sometimes a ,very good thing, but you must consider that our Vestnik is also read by non-members." Then in English: "You know our paper gets into the hands of people you wouldn't even dream of, and if we allow these controversies and often unfounded accusations in our paper, what kind of paper would our Vestnik be? Then he said in Czech: " That's a pretty bunch there, they are continually quarreling and they want us to join their lodge! Isn't it true?" he asked, "do you agree? I would rather compliment a person than criticize and believe me there are among us many who deserve our praise."

"I want to tell you one more thing; as your Editor I have tried to impress upon you that we should appreciate and respect our Supreme Lodge Officers, our Directors and our District and Lodge Officers; when we elected them into office or at our last Convention, and in our District or Lodge Meetings, let's show them that we appreciate them, for if we don't sistersand brothers, where would our Order be headed. It is our duty to help them, honor them, back them up, if we don't have any respect for them, who should? It has been an honor for me to

ESTIOIC â&#x20AC;&#x201D; WEST, TEXAS

be invited here and I thank you for listening."

Brother Raymond Urbanovsky, Financial Secretary of the Supreme Lodge takes the microphone. Brother Urbanovsky, states his pleasure to be among the District Four membership, stating that they have always been noted for their hospitality.

Launching into, the Supreme Lodge officers absence, he explained that they phoned that they had a car break down and it was not known if the car could be fixed in time to, make the meeting at all.

Brother Urbanovsky stated that we have had one of our most successful years in the annals of our Order and contributed this success to the YOUTH movement and Queen's Contests', which have helped our organizers in filling set quotas and making such outstanding strides. Brother Urbanovsky endorsed the Youth Momevent in the Districts and Lodges, pointing out the wonderful work they were doing in their respective lodges.

He then explained some of the figures in more detail such as the Mortality rate: which of every 100 members who were expected to die, only 35 died, stating that our membership was healthy as a whole, our members are well chosen risks. In explaining our "surplus," Brother Urbanovsky stated: "Don't think that because we call it a surplus, that it has to be given away." He explained that it wasn't too large, that lots of banks, and corporations and business, institutions have a much larger surplus to protect their accounts, in contingencies, that is was a good practice to have this protective surplus.

District Four Organizer, Brother F. Kveton, tells of some of the obstacles in selling insurance in his District to meet set quotas. He urged cooperation of the membership.

Brother Sid Pokladnik, past president of District Three, visiting stresses "cooperation with your youth." He urges organization of Youth Clubs in all our Lodges.

Brother Pokladnik points out that it is an honor for the District to have a young sister representing them at the Convention, as Sister Helen Mach; that they should feel honored. "Wouldn't you be proud if Sister Mach were elected "Miss SRIST" at the Convention?" He continued, "Sisters and Brother, I know that you have many more pretty girls in your District as your Sister Mach, they should all have a chance and should be presented at your District Meeting here, and give the SPJST and these Sisters the suppart that they deserve. We hope to do this again in four years. Let's have

Ottawa 11 every lodge in, your District have a candidate to represent you in your District and then to the Convention whereever it may be held. As Brother Kveton said, there are many people who do not know the SPJST but this one way that you can tell the public. We have found that our own candidates who was selected to represent District Three at the, Conv,ention, has already had calls by national firms, to endorse their products; just because she got her name into the paper as District Three Candidate. Ladies and. Gentlemen, don't you call this good advertising?"

Brother Pokladnik stressed that we want "quality members" but that they won't come into our Order if we are not active and a, quality fraternal Order.

"We are going to be here just so long, then somebody else has to take over; we have good ,help, we have good material, but we have to bring it forward. Give them a, chance!"

Editor Hosek too, urged that the membership to build their Halls for their own young p eople. He explained "If a parent guided and watched his child all week, to keep him from bad associations and trouble, all of that supervision was for nothing if the child was left to choose his comrads on Sunday in questionable crowds . That is why these Halls were built, so that your youth would have a place to meet and have a good time of their choosing, He urged the lodges to open their Halls to their Youth (to give Ulm the rules under which they can use the Hall), and let them have their activities there for these young people are tomorrow's leaders and it is in these Halls that they learn leadership and become lodge workers of tomorrow.

The next District Meeting will be held at Lodge 73, date to be announced later, Speakers were invited to participate and Brother Emil Petr from District III top organizer of his Lodge 84 in Dallas, spoke most eloquently to the membership of District Four, to close ranks and gather their youth into their fold, to organize, softball teams in the Lodges, Youth Clubs, Birthday Clubs and to show their' youth active fraternalism; to let them know and enjoy the cultural, educational and fraternal enrichment in life from these social associations and activities which our ,SPJST lodge nurture. He gave his own wife's example (Sister Petr is an able Assistant Youth Director of District Three) and of her lodge, better known as "mother" in her immediate lodge youth. Brother Petr stated that he and his wife work with youth 24 hours a day, that there is always something going on among the different age, groups; some activity; and that he and his family have been caught

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Just a few lines to again remind you that we have only two more weeks to go before we have our 50th Golden anniversary at Lodge, No. 88, located at 1140 Robbie Street. We are also going to have a dance on the 30th of April, which our youth of the Lodge are going to sponsor. Our two youth directors, M. Sefcik and D. Kadlecek are working hard to get the queen selected the night of the dance, so as to be, represented at the convention. These two youth directors sure have been giving all their time and efforts to our lodge youth movement and we should all be proud of them and the Youth. So come to their dance on the 30th of April and show them that you appreciate all the work they are doing. These two are working to make the dance a success, but your coming to the dance won't be hard work, because you will have a good time, so be there on the 30th.

Let's stop at this moment — I mean right now and think of the following lodge members who really have the fraternal spirit in giving their time to make their lodge a success. Who was the member that spent all day the 21st of April scrubbing and washing the venetian blinds (only 30 of them)? Yes it was JERRY ERMIS.

Yes, it's Estelle Kelly on the piano! — What member is hard at work getting all of the lodge presidents pictures together and on time? Yes, it's STEVE VALCIK! What two families are spending nights glittering our light fixtures?

It's the HEGWOOD and the FUZIK families! Who are the noble members who agreed to serve on the dawn patrol committee? They are the BRUS, EDWARD, JOHNNIE, and. FRANKIE! What members agreed to start working at 6 a.m. on Mother's Day? Yes, it was LEON KROTOLA! What two members

Wednesday, April 27, 1960 are generals on the dawn patrol committee? They are F , BURI and R. GRISSOM! What member will work all day on the 8th of May? Yes it's J. SONTAG! What member will sell admission tickets?—Mr. and Mrs. E. KADLECEK! Who is hospitalized at this time but still asked to help? It's ROSALIE RULAND! What member will help with the chairs and tables? — F. B.RAVENEC! What other members asked to be put of the dawn patrol committee? Yes. H. HRUBY! What two members are going to be the advance patrol for the barbecue cooking — as usual it major L. DRAWE and dad E. DRAWE! What member will bring and make some of the potato salad for the barbecue? — Mrs. TILLICH! What member has the bard lob of doing all the buying for the two big meals on the 7th and 8th of May? — Mrs. VALA will have this hard task.

All I have to say is thanks to all the above mex%bers and the many members that I have failed to mention — just come to the celebration and you will see the others who are doing their part and you may know their names. Do come on the 8th of May and be a supporting member of your Lodge, but, to be a extra effort member all you have to do is bring a friend, I'll say thanks to you for bringing a friend to our 50th• Golden anniversary.

ispagaillkapit4* SOFTBALL TEAM OF LODGE 81 Dallas, Texas Dear Sisters and. Brothers, Our softball team opened the season with a 5 to 0 win April 19, defeating Texas Instruments team in the Tuesday night League, called the Texin League. The winning pitcher was Wes Jaska, who allowed only 2 hits, walked one batter and struck out 9 batsmen.

This was a very good performance being the first game of the season. His battery mate was Wolber (Moose) Munger who caught a very good game. Defensively, the whole team played a good game as only one miscue was committed.

Offensively, the team made a very creditable showing with 5 hits, 6 walks and 5 rums. Leading hitters for the night was Raymond Smith with 3 hits, a single, double and a triple. Don Hanks had a double and Wilbur Munger had a single. Getting on base via walks were Adolph Janecka with 2, Albin (Bino) Vrana, Paul Valenta, Don Hanks and Raymond Marek with one walk each It certainly is a nice way to start the season with a win and we hope we have started a winning habit. Regardless, we hope to have an enjoyable season.

We wish to thank the 3 couples and 4 other rooters who braved the early season chilly weather and came out to the game. This was most gratifying as the other team had only 2 rooters besides the team members. We are con-

Wheat and Bread Prices — In Jaunary 1948, farmers were getting $2.81 per bushel for wheat and consumers were paying 13.8c for a pound loaf of bread. By January 1955, the farmer's price had dropped to $2.14 per bushel and the consumer's cost had climbed to 17.6c per loaf. But by January 1959, the farmer was getting only $1.71 per bushel for wheat, and the consumer was paying 19.6c per loaf of bread. Thus, between 1948 and 1959 — wheat prices dropped 39 per cent — and bread prices increased 42 per cent.
