Na sjezdu v Temple byl jsem na vYboru na "Platy a Dary" zaroven s bratry 8ef6ak, Strunc, Hasher a Mazanec. Snaali jsme se nejlepe v gestranne vyhovet ale meli jsme tetkosti a chci se o nich VSTboru tomu bylo podana 18 tadosti pro pottebne na ge stargi eleny. Nektere byly v potadku ale jine zas tak gpatne psane, 'te jsme je ani nemohli kadne pte Gist, anebo nebyla vysvetleno prod se ta pomoc tada — Na g vYbor to probral jak nejlepe dovedl a navrhl sjezdu, aby se katderau tomu tadateli dala podpora v obnosu $100.00. — Tak to delegaty schvalili. Pak vystoupili jine- delegaty a te oni take mail pottebne deny ale, te to zapomeli vYboru hlasit. — Tak co nyni? Byl dan navrh a schvalen, by vYbor ptijal i ty opozdene tadasti a aby se tedy vyplatilo vgem po $100.00. Tu ale se tolik vic delegatti hlasilo, ze pied seda sjezdu byl nucen volat k pokadku.

Nakidil by delegaty ty tadosti podali vSrbora at po jedna,ni. VYbor musel pracovat pies Gas a mist() 18ti tadosti dostali jsme jich 36.

V mnohYch tech tadosti bylo udano pouze eislo kadu a jrneno elena ale tadne pisernne vysvetleni prof se ta podpora tada. — Nag vYbor se radii s sjezdovYm ptedsedou a s atedniky Hlavni Utadovny ktere nas odkazali, abychom co a jak za dobre uzname. Kdyt se pak ta jmena podarovanYch oznamila tak *jsme dostali kritiku kterou si ten vYbo • nezasloutil. — Proe pry jsme dali katdemu tak velkY obnos kdyt 26,datelil byla tolik, ale tento navrh byl dan delegatem a schvalen celYm sjezdem a kdyt vYbor odporueil po $100.00 bylo tadosti pouze osmnact.

Tet ptigla jedna kri-

To je vac kterou jsem Vain chtel pied sjezdem prednest.

Tento nag vYbor vg echny eleny nezna ani jak si stoji. Spolehali jsme se na slova fi •ednika a delegatti. Nechteli jsme Zadneho potfebneho odmitnouti a moZ na Ze se stab, Ze nekdo podporu nezaslouZene dostal.

Aby se to zas nestalo navrhuji, aby kaZdY rad kterY ma skuteene potrebneho a zaslouZileho elena poslal po svem delegatu, jasne psanou Zadost vYboru na platy a dary hned na poeatku s j ezdu. - V to Zadosti ma bYti udano jmeno a Oslo radu i to same o potrebnem elenu a jeho adresa,. - Pak krat gi ale jasne vysvetleni proe o tuto podporu Ca, jell star, nemocen aneb neschopen prace a bez jine podpory sve rodiny.

Sister Emma Ceska, District Three Youth Director, explained the new rules for the 1960 District Three Queen Contest, pointing out that the Contest began April 21, to end on June 21, that all insurance sold by the lodge organizers during this period would automatically go to their lodge Princess, to compete air the District Crown. She emphasized that the Princess need not have participated in the sale of the insurance to get its credit , Sister Ceska pointed out that not only the Princess but her escort must be a member of the SPJST and that the Princess choses her own escort. Sister Ceska urged all officers, Youth Leaders, Organizers as well as the membership of local lodges to get behind this Contest in District Three to make this a huge success again this year.

District II Meeting PRAHA NO. 29, HOSTS DISTRICT TWO MEETING

Lodge No. 29 Praha, played host to the District Two Spring Meeting, Sunday, April 24th, at their spacious Lodge Hall near Taylor, Texas.

District Two president, Brother Calvin Cervenka called the meeting to order to a full schedule of District business; elimination of finalists, to the Miss SPJST Contest, election and installation of newly elected District Two officers, to a fast moving meeting which held the interest of all present.

After welcoming the membership and guests to District Two„ President Chervenka called upon Lodge Praha President Brother Reuben Lesikar to extend his welcome to Lodge Praha, our host.

"I am very happy to see so many members from the SPJST from District Two today and we welcome so many visitors from Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Caldwell, Fayetteville, West, etc. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Lodge Praha and I hope you will have a very successful meeting," concluded Brother Lesikar.

Opening the Meeting proper with a Pledge to the Flag to be followed by Rola Call of lodges in District Two; the appointment of a Nominating Committee to work up a roster of proposed officers for the coming year for the District, Brother Cervenka turned the meeting over to the District Youth Leader.

Sister Clara Hejl, District Two Youth Leader, then introduced Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge Brother Joe B. Hejny, under whose supervision the Youth Movement falls, as Master of Ceremonies for the Miss ,SPJST Contest elimination which took place immediately.

Brother Hejny then introduced the three judge team: Sister Pokorny of the Taylor Lodge, ' Sister Birdie Hilsher of Lodge Pokrok 88, Houston, and Brother Charles Saza ysky of the San Antonio Lodge.

As her talent, Sister Barbara Zabcik, modeling her heavy silk 'dress which she made, of blue roses on a darker blue background, three-quarter puff sleeves and overskirt of light blue organza, and singing God Bless America in her beautiful saprano voice, was the first to be presented in the contest. Sister Zabcik is from Temple, Texas, Route 3.

She received the $25 prize from the SPJST Supreme Lodge.

District Two Organizer, Brother Ben Mikolaj then personally awarded these two lovely top candidates with a special prize.

Brother Hejny, lauded the Youth in our fraternal order and for their fine record of achievements.

Sister Clara Hejl then presented her short Youth Program.

The third member from Lodges 47 and 24, featured the famous "Polka Dots," al quartet of young harmonizers, well known in Central Texas, consisting of: Linda Martinec, Carol Mikulas, Betty Jean Zabcil; and Carolyn Kotula, their renditions were most -delightful.

Thus ended the Youth Program. Two entrants to the Youth Program were unable to make the Meeting to appear on is program.

Very deftly, President Cervenka lead the meeting' with its full agenda through the business of DiStrict By-Laws; Roll Calls of Districts; Supreme Lodge Or. ficers,, who were 100 per cent present with their ladies; Publication Committee members; r organizations; District Organizers, Piirectors and Delegates to the corning Convention.

The reading of the minutes of the last meeting wer dispensed with upon vote from the membership present as they appeared earlier in the Vestnik.

I am sure that District Two is indebted to Brother Chervenka and his outgoing officers for their conscientions, eIficient and successful work for the District, hoping he will continue to work with the District.

Besides a 100 per cent representation from our Supreme Lodge Officers with their ladies, representatives from District One, Two, Three, Five, Six and.

Seven sprinkled the gathering.

All during the afternoon meeting the rain came pouring down on the thirsty fields around Taylor, to gladden those whose corn crops needed the moisture.

The good. sisters of Lodge Praha had prepared a light supper and refreshments which was most welcome after a peoductive meeting.

Some of the membership headed homeward after the meeting, not be, cause of the rain, but because of the long road, while others lingered to enjoy visiting and good fellowship that follows one of these successful meetings.

As stated before, due to the necessity of having the By-Laws Changed as rec. onunended by the By-Laws Committee = in the Vestnik before the Convention, many letters, coverages of meetings -have to be drastically curtailed at this time, and the Editor asksi your indulgence in this matter.

Sincere congratulations go to District Two for such tallented young women, who are living examples of how our insurance works for its membership.

Sister Zabcik pointed out that her endowment insurance policy will now make a higher education possible for her and also by the time she becomes 36 years old, her future husband, will have a paid-up policy on her with its protection. That's insurance at work and it was brought out very vividly by these two lovely young sisters..

Reports From Local Lodges SOMETHING FOR ALL LODGE MEMBERS TO THINK ABOUT Dear Sister's and Brothers, I have had something on my mind ever since the last convention and I feel that this is 'the time to bring it up.

Brother Sefcak mentioned it in his letter a few weeks ago, but I want to go into it a little deeper. I had the pleasure of being on the Pay and Gift, Committee along with Brother Sefcik, Brother Hasher, Brother Mazanec and. Brother Strunce. A wonderful group to work with. We worked hard to do a good job, but we did have som difficulty on a few things. These are part of those that need not have been.

This committee received from the delegates, 18 requests for aid to our needy aged members. Some were very well made out, but others were not nearly enough complete, or so badly written that we could not even read them. Anyway, we decided to submit the amount of $100 to each one, to the delegates.

This was accepted. Then one or two delegates got up and said they had forgotten to turn in the names of such members in their lodges. A motion was made (by a idelegate) and passed, that the committee accept these late requests. And also that the same amount ($100) be given to each. At that time, there were so many delegates coming up to turn in names that our convention chairman had to call for order, as it was disrupting the whole convention.

He ordered that the delegates turn in the names after that session of busiovertime and instead of 18, we had 36 overtime and instead of 18, we had 38 requests! Many of them only had the number of the lodge and the member's name. No explanation of why the member should get this aid . Our committee conferred with our convention chairman and some of the Supreme Officers.

They advised us to do what we felt was right. Then when the names of those members that received this aid was published in the Vestnik, we were criticized.

"Why did we give them so much since there were so many of them?" (As I said above. A motion was made by a delegate and passed by the whole convention, to accept them all and give each $100. There were only 18 submitted when the amount of $100 was stated.)

Then I also had a member come to me. in person and ask why we gave such and such a member this money? This person

Strana 14 is very rich. Owning farms and is retired.

That is the point I want to bring out.

This committee does not know all of our members or their standing. It has to depend on the officers and members of the lodge for true information, so that they can properly and fairly judge the need, or the lack of it, of the members. As I said above, in most of the cases we had only the word of the delegate. We did not want to turn down a lot of them in fear that we might deprive a truly needy one of this help. So just maybe some one did get it that just was not justified.

Now, to keep this from happening again in the future, I want to suggest the following: Any lodge that has a truly needy and deserving member, will send, by their delegate, a typewritten, printed or clearly written request to be presented to the Pay and Gift committee as soon as it is appointed. This request to contain the name and number of the lodge, name and policy number of the needy member and his or her correct mailing address. Then a brief, but clear, explanation why they need the aid. This request to be signed by at least two officers of that lodge.

If you will do this, the committee can then quickly and fairly, judge each and everyone of them. No member of our order wants to deprive any truly justified member of any help, but we must also be sure that they are justified.

I do not know whether I will again be asked to serve on this committee at our coming convention, but if so, I am going to do my best to see that this im-. portant matter is handled in such a way that we do not have the same trouble again.

Now I know that this is getting rather long, but would like to make on:e more request. Something that Brother Sefcak also mentioned in his letter. If any delegate has any suggestions on the amounts to be paid for delegates expenses, mileage, officer's salaries, gifts, etc. please give them to the Pay and Gift committee also. So that they can work out a plan that is satisfactory to all.

This committee has to take into consideration the feelings of our members, the economical conditions of the day and time and all other things that have a bearing on these things. Do not wait until the committee is making its report. If there is anything in the report that you do not honestly agree to, you can then bring it up.

If they have these things in time for there deliberation, it will save a lot of

VESTNi -- WEST, TEXAS convention time. That is the whole purpose of this committee. To work out a plan to put before the delegates ahead of time. To save time on the convention floor, and they do work hard to see that it is done in an honest and fair way.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I do hope you will consider these suggestions. It will save a lot of time and you know that every minute costs a great deal.

Fraternally yours, Ben V. Mikolaj , • 4 • TO MEMBERS OF DISTRICT TWO Granger, Texas Dbar Brothers and Sisters: The time for the 18th Convention of the SPJST is fast approaching; in a short tiMe is will be history. Let us hope that this indeed will be a constructive and progressive meeting for our Order.

As has been previously announced, my hat is in the ring as a candidate for District Director of District 2 SPJST. For the last four years it has been my pleasure to serve as Alternate District Director of District 2. The many years of experience in SPJST Lodge work, as well as private and business affairs, should qualify me for that position.

Farming is my livelihood; however, it will not interfere with my duties as your director. When elected as your District Director, arrangements will be such that the time will always be available for this work. If I did not feel that I could devote the time and effort necessary for the proper discharge of the duties as your District Director, then I would not be a candidate for that important position. Your support and assistance in my behalf will be most welcome. I pledge to serve District 2 and the whole SPJST to the best of my ability at all times.

With, the, best wishes to the 18th Convention of the SPJST I remain Fraternally yours, Henry E. Vitek ) • 4 • SOKOL DALLAS Here are the names of the honorary donors to the New Sokol and. Lodge Jaro Gymnasium and Youth Recreation Center in Dallas.

TEXAS Supreme Lodge Officers and Directors SPJST, Temple, Texas Gentlemen and Brothers: Even though I may or may not be a delegate to the coming convention as a dues paying member of our honorable organization since April 11, 1937, for your immediate consideration and especially for consideration at the coming convention I want to protest the current interest rate raise to 6 . per cent on farm and city property loans, •especially for members of our organization.

I feel that such increase, without advance notice and consent by a majority of the members, is not for the best interest of the organization and in fact is nothing but a giving of comfort to the Republican philosophy of discouraging land purchases and ownership.

Thanking you for your courtesy and consideration, I remain Very truly yours, 3. J. Duckett Editor's Note: All of the letters of our members, as long as they are written in a decent and brotherly way are gladly published if they are for the good of our brotherhood.

Everyone enjoyed the afternoon so very much. We had quite a crowd and the weather was good. Special Thanks to Commissioner Sablatura for reserving the Park for us. It is such a clean, cool and shady place. Our hats off to Commissioner Sablatura for keeping such a place available to the public. Thanks again John.

And now I want to thank the ladies for bringing all those goodies. I think we like to always prepare our best dishes for just such occasions. The only trouble is, I think, everyone usually eats too much. The children certainly enjoyed themselves. The afternoon was too short for them. In parting everyone said we should have a get-together like this more often.

Our weather has been "Ideal" Oh, we did have some wind, but not as much as some years. The agricultural picture in all parts of the country looks good. And as the saying goes, "crops are going to town," and the grass and weeds right along with them.

There were some lice on the cotton and some of the farmers have sprayed or dusted already. But with the hot weather coming on now we may not be bothered with plant lice anymore. The next thing showing up will be fleas. The farmers here are harvesting the onion crop now, for awhile it looked like the onions would have to be plowed up, but last week the market 'revived and the price on No. 1 onions is $1.75 a bushel.

There are an estimated 12,0000 acres of onions planted in the Coastal Bend area.

VESTNIK --- WEST, TEXAS There are quite a few cotton choppers evident in the fields. After the showery weather the past few days hoeing has been at a standstill, except in the western part of the county where the rains were not so heavy.

Our Easter Sunday did not turn out so good. The day was marked with intermitten drizzle and heavy thundershowers with strong guesty winds, with the temperature dipping to a cool 53 degrees by Monday morning. But now the weather is fine and everyone is O.K. again.

With best regards to all till next time — and wishing for a successful, brotherly convention.

The meeting was rather short and was adjourned with the Easter Egg hunt for the tots following. As in the past many youngsters hastened to Lodge 84 to find the multi-colored eggs , left there by friend "Easter Bunny." Our beloved Youth Director, Mrs. Bessie Petr and her assistant and their helpers aided Mr. Bunny to form a day brimfull of holiday fun. Mrs. Petr and her helpers planned many games and made delicious, lip-smacking refreshments for the youngsters all decked out in their Easter finery.

Later in the evening a dance was held when everyone enjoyed themselves by dancing to Czech music.

In closing, I want to remind all to plan to attend our Soft-Ball Team's Benefit Dance. Mr Ben Jarma and all the other soft ball team members are relying on US for our support.

Thursday night, April 28 we are ,scheduled to play Capital Records, first game at 7:30 p.m. in our 'T'hurs'day Night League.

To All Voters All qualified Texas citizens are urged to keep in mind several important election law changes. These two new laws that are being discussed a great deal now change completely the make-up of political conventions in Texas.

Although when stamped a "Democrat" or a "Republican" or whatever party affiliation that is the only party a voter can participate in. However, voters should keep in mind this will not prevent a Democart from voting the for Republican presidential nominee nor a Republican from switching over in the General Election and voting for a Democrat.

One of the new laws is called the "Party Affiliation" Law and the other fixes new dates for the primaries and conventions.

The first of these two laws will have a far-reaching effect on the voters. A person becomes a member of the Democratic Party when he votes in the primary. Only party members — those who have voted in the primary — may participate in the precinct, county and state conventions, or hold a party office.

In other words, regardless of the number of years you have been aDemocrat, you cannot participate in precinct, county or state conventions this year unless you vote in the May 7 priirJary and have your poll tax receipt stamped "Democrat." If you vote under an exemption receipt, then the election judge, will furnish you with a paper showing you did vote in the primary. Neither can you hold a "party" office during this year unless you vote in the primary.

The poll tax receipt form has been changed to provide a space for'party affiliation. This space is filled in only by the election judge at the time the voter participates in the primary. It will be contrary to the law for any one except the election judge to fill this in.

When a person votes in the Democratic primary, the election judge stamps on the poll tax receipt the word "Democrat" within the party affiliation space. Such action makes the voter a member of the Democratic Party for the duration of the, poll tax period.

He can not, during the year, participate in any other party convention.

Violation of the Party Affiliation Law is punishable by a fine of from $20 to $200.

If a person expects to participate in either precinct, county or state convention, he MUST have a poll tax receipt or certificate marked "Democrat". Otherwise he violates the law.

VESTN1K WEST, TEXAS MORE ABOUT YOUR POSTAL SERVICE Are you one of the few who take offense at being asked what your parcels contain when they are presented at the post office for mailing?

"If so, please, believe that the receiving clerk is not prying into your private affairs. He is only doing his duty."

Some of the things that people would like to transport through the mails pose a natural, hazard to postal personnel and to other rriail matter. For example, firearms, explosives, radio-active materials, reptiles, chemicals, and liquor are capable of inflicting serious damage, and so are unmailable except when special permission is granted.

Packages of items that are unquestionably mailable sometimes contain written matter without its presence being shown through proper endorsement.

"This can cause delay in delivery, unnecessary inconvenience and expense, or even confiscation of the parcel.

Written matter may be enclosed in a parcel if postage covering the enclosure is added to the postage for the parcel.

Mailings such as this are known as combination mailings and should be endorsed' by the mailer. "First-Class Mail

Strana 25 Enclosed" This endorse went may be placed on the parcel by printing, rubber stamp, longhand, or in any other manner, but in all instances the endorsement should appear below the po,stake r nd above the address.

"Writtea messages are very helpful to the addressee when they accompany the parcel,' say postal officials. But, if additional postake must be collected on delivery because of the sender's failure to state that written motter was enclosed, the message may not be so well accepted.

So when you next take a parcel to your office and are asked about its contents remember that the only desire of the receiving clerk is to be helpful.

When mailability is in doubt, the burden of proof rests on the mailer ) • 4 • ( Some 4,000 years ago, American Indians were mining copper in the upper peninsula of Michigan, and some of their product was traded as far away as Florida.

How do we differ from the animals in the jungle? The thing that lifts man above the level of other animals is that he has pity for the thing that is less fortunate than he. The moment he feels compassion for another creature, the moment he tries to help that creature, that moment he starts to leave the jungle behind. That is civilization.

If you have, let a nuabber of years go by without checking your social security account, you are no different from many of your fellow workers, so says the Social Security Administration. It is surprising to find fewer people checking their accounts now in view of the fact that retirement benefits and family benefits are much higher and disability benefits are possible to disabled workers age 50 or over Who meet the minimum earnings requirement in the ten-year period ending with the date of their disability.

It is most important to you and your family to make sure you receive credit for all your earnings under social seccurity. Anyone who has worked for a years should make it his business to number of employers in the last few check his account to see not only that his wages have been reported by his employer correctly as to the amount, but also that wages were reported under his correct name and social security number.

Because many workers had previously checked their social security accounts and found them to be correct, they seem to lose interest in their accounts until they are ready to retire or to apply for disability benefits. They fail to consider the fact that with about two
