THE EDITOR'S DESK

Sisters and Brothers: In place of a cut and dried compilation of official facts and figures, I have tried to make your Vestnik a genuinely warm, friendly, interesting and sought after reading for every member in your home. To the best of my abilities, I have sought to do just that, and from the voices coming from our membership, or at least the majority of them, I have succeeded in doing it.

Of course, I have been criticised, which could be expected, for as yet no mortal ever escaped the criticism, scathing or otherwise.

According to the majority, your Vestnik has become the beloved medium of contact with our membership and there is even a prideful roster of non-member.s who are steadily subscribing to our Organ, for which we are humbly grateful.

That your Vestnik is welcomed into the home is witness to the fact of its roster of correspondents, both sisters and brothers, (your editor's angels) who give your Vestnik preference with their newsy items of lodge and community activities.

Every lodge, every district and every individual has been impartially served by us and every beneficial movement in our brotherhood supported and advertised. This, of course, was regarded as our duty, as promised you in our last Convention . Like any other human being, we are very appreciative of the encouragement, words of understanding and appreciation sent our way by you, for as the saying goes "A little honey goes a long way" and we ask you brothers and sisters, who sit in the Convention, that you leave the contents of the Vestnik as much as possible in its present form, so that it would remain a "Home Paper" for every member of your family.

Naturally, reports from the lodges, from the headquarters, and the by-laws have priority. At the same time, please remember that the sisterhood likes its own "Nook" where they can speak of their world, the kitchen, garden and homemaking interests. The Czech col-

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance 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." umn "What We Heard Over the Week" is a newsy column of "shorts" from our members and friends, (from them, for them) sometimes sad and then again glad, which is avidly followed by those who do not like lengthy reading. To this is the "Stork" column of new citizens and new children and grandchildren, supported by our member contributors, and which is a medium of potential members for our organizers. In the "Sports" many a brother and some sisters, too, learn the how and where, within the law, they can catch the "big ones" and down an "eight pointer." In short form, these columns have been a popular common topic for conservation among the membership, never harming or depriving others of space.

That your Vestnik would be .a strictly fraternal organ, where only reports of meetings held and reports of officials are published, would lose the human appeal of our membership. Let's not hunt for needles in the haystack.

We travel many miles annually into your lodges, communities, not for our own pleasure, but to gain insight in the various locales, to get new and interesting material for your Vestnik, which is very important that we tell the rest of the brotherhood about, so that they too, may gain some ideas and practices

which have proven profitable to others for growth and progress in the lodges as well as the districts. We learn from each other. Then, too, every success brings with it enthusiasm, its inspiration for further and better fraternal work, which is felt from the smallest unit to the largest in our brotherhood.

We repeat: being natural human beings, we are aware of the fact that we have made some errors, misjudged someone or something, overlooked perhaps even some important facts, or "stepped on some toes," but we have endeavored to conduct the affairs of your Vestnik as we promised you in our last Convention, to the very best interests of the Vestnik, our brotherhood, to the very best of our abilities.

In running your Vestnik, we have always chose the straightforward path, as we saw it, not letting any faction or individual influence us on their side. We have turned deaf ears to critics in the hopes that in time they would come to the conclusion of their own awakening, that we are working for the good of the Order as a whole, which is also their Order; that their methods of attacking where it would not do any good is not the 1960 method of righting a wrong; that such criticism should be taken to the proper place through the proper channels, for remedy.

Even to our "Anonymous Friends," who have vent their wrath upon us in shameful and infantile slander, we repeat; that we are firmly resolved to tread in the path which is most beneficial to the welfare of our Order, in the future, for fruitful and creative, constructive growth which will continue, God grant, with the help of our steadfast Vestnik contributors will continue to write, work, encourage, inspire individuals and lodges in our brotherhood.

Be it the wish of the 18th Convention, my good wife and I, want to continue to serve you and our Order, in our continued conscientious efforts.

For your favorable, thoughtful consideration, sisters and brothers, we shall both be. Fraternally grateful, Your Editor and Wife

Friends!

Your Editor has a short article in the Czech Section of this issue about our proposed Free Hospital Program which he considers one step nearer to a Socialist state program. Here is an article from an eminent authority for your consideration.

Medical Chief Fears Abuse In Health Bill New York — Dr. Louis M. Orr, president of the American Medical Association, said Monday if Congress passes a medical aid bill for the elderly the nat tion's hospitals • will be jammed with persons who don't need hospital care.

Orr addressed the Medical Society of the State of New York which passed a resolution urging Congress to take no action on 'health care bills until the problem has been studied thoroughly.

"Much of the nation now suffers from lack of sufficient hospital facilities to care or the critically ill of all ages," Orr said. "Sending millions of elders with minor ailments to hospitals will turn a serious situation into a chaotic one across the nation."

Orr, who opposes both the. medical aid bill and the administration's aid bill, and "catastropic or terminal illness" affects only a small minority of the aged and these cases are generally better treated in nursing homes. ) LODGE 92 FORT WORTH Our regular Meeting date has been changed and our next Lodge Meeting will be held Sunday June 5th, as some of our officers will attend the Convention at San Antonio. — Our next meeting will start with our Youth Club Meeting at 2:00 Brother Joe B.

Hejny, who was representing the Order at the Open House Celebration of Lodge Cottonwood No. 6 at West. Brother Hejny wished Pokrok a most successful celebration, Brother Marek spoke in the English and Czech language to the membership.

Of necessity at this time due to the lack of space and the lengthy "synposis" which Pokrok presented, our apologies go to our Brother President and guest speaker for not publishing his speech entoto.

In essence, Brother Merek extended best wishes for continued good work in the Lodge and in behalf of the Supreme Lodge officers as well as himself, a most successful and "momentous" celebration.

He paused to remember and give glowing tribute to the deceased Pokrok membership as well as the founders of our Order; He stressed giving a helping hand to the youth, in love and understanding.

Brother Frank Olexa, then took the' microphone to present the 50 year Sunopsis of Lodge Pokrok 88 of Houston.

"On this our Golden Anniversary of Lodge Pokrok 88, it is, indeed, a great honor that I may on this occasion review more than 50 years of history and progress of the Czechs of this city and the founders of this lodge.

"It was in May of 1908 when 18 Czechs of this city met to organize a Czech Literary and Cultural Club. In the first meeting that we had and at the suggestion of one of the members, they adopted the name of "Pokrok" meaning Progress.

"January of 1910, the members of Club Pokrok received a letter form a Mr. Krizan of Galveston, urging them to form a new fraternal insurance lodge for their own protection, under the auspicies of the Slovanska Podporujici Jednota ,Statu Texas, The Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas, which is a fraternal insurance order, and was organized in 1897.

"In the same year Pokrok's Club members petitioned the Supreme Lodge of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas for a Charter which was guaranteed on May 1, 1910. The new lodge was installed into the Order with 26 Charter Members present at the first meeting admitted into the Order. Of these, we have eleven of them still with us, and of these, we have six present among us today. As each name was read a boutonnier or a Golden Mum corsage was pinned on the members taking the bow. They were as follows: Brother Anton Bily, Sister Anna Kovar, Brother Josef Kovar, Brother Lawrence Kristinik, Sister Rosie Kristinik (unable to be present) Sister Zofie Langer, Brother Frank Vanek, Sister Veronika. Vanek, (unable to be present due to illness).

"Then we have two members who have changed residence during the past 50 years and one of them is Brother Jan Svoboda, who is residing in the state of Illinois, in the City of Chicago, and Brother Jan Jurcak, who is residing in the state of Florida.

VEST N I KÂŽ WEST, TEXAS "Ladies and Gentlemen members and friends, here are our Charter Members!

Let's give them a standing ovation!" said Brother Olexa.

Our first President was Brother Ladislav Langer, who was always a lodge worker, not just in the beginning but even in his later years. He was always a member and officer in his place wher ever he was needed. Brother Frank Kratky, Brother Rudolf Simon, Brother John A. Rachac, Brother Frank Romancik, Brother John Romancik, Brother Josef Hozak, Brother Theodore Oshman, Brother Vaclav Seatak, Brother Jan Stehlik, Brother Josef Kubin, Sister Frantiska Kubin, Brother Richard Schwartz, Brother Josef Franta and Brother Vaclav Peterka are our departed members. (As each name was read, a tiny girl in frosty white dresses came forward to place a gold star on the branches of the Tree of Memories, placed beside the speaker's stand.)

"Getting back to brother Peterka, it is gratifying that Brother Peterka was the grandfather of one of our active members; after fifty years he has somebody to, take up the duties which he started, and he is here today; I want to introduce to you our hard worker Brother Ernest J. Hanka. Take a bow, Brother Ernest!"

At the first meeting the membership selected the following officers: Brother Ladislav Langer, as stated before, and he held the office from May 1 to August 31, 1910. Brother Rudolf Simon was Vice President, Brother Frank Kratky, Secretary, and Brother Karel Drab, Treasurer. (Here we find the daughter of this brother, very active in lodge work.

Until her illness she was on the Lodge Youth Directors and she still is one of the Youth Directors of this District, our own Sister Estelle Kelly). Brother Frank Romancik, Guide; Brother Josef Hozak, Inner Guard, and Brother Anton Bily was Outer Guard.

"Then Brother Richard Schwartz became our next lodge president and held this office from September 1, 1910 to December 31, 1910. Brother Ladislav Zbranek, was elected as the next president and hid his office from January 1, 1911 o September 31, 1911. During his short term of office a number of important events transpired. On March 11,1911, three lots were purchased for the sum of $740.00. This is the property where the present building is standing.

Then, in April of that same year, the members agreed to construct a 40x80 ftt, frarDe lodge building. To defray the costs of this new building a $1,000.00 loan was subscribed by the members on promisory notes and finally on. June 18,

Strana 10 1911, the first Czech lodge building had its formal opening. For many years it was known at the Bohemian Hall. Then, Brother Karel Bruer, was elected and held office of president from February 1, 1912 to December 31, 1913. In the first two years span of the Lodge's existence, there were five president, due to the fact that in those times the people were not settled, they were moving from place to place and our presidents were no exception. Few of them moved out of the city to another city, and a few of them moved to other parts of the town and at that time it was hard to get to the place where they had their meetings. Then Brother Ladislav Langer was re-elected for a second time. He held this office from. January 1, 1914 to Decerraber 31, 1915. In that year of 1914, the first Czech school was organized and was held in the old Lodge building. At that time the lodge had one of its sad beginnings, it lost one of their brothers and therefore had to arrange the funeral: Brother Frank Cernohorsky passed to his final reward. In August 1915, after five year's, existence the lodge had grown to 100 members. Then Brother John Sulda was elected president and held office from January 1, 1916 to December 31, 1916. During this year the original Czech Literary and Cultural Club voted to disband and donate their Czech Library in which they had accumulated over 100 books, to the Lodge Pokrok 88 Houston and that was the beginning of our first Czech Library, which at the present time has over 800 volumes.

"On Jaunary 1, 1917, Brother Frank Krabec, took office of president and held it until his death on September 15, 1917. He was the first and only president to die while in office. In September 1917, at a special called meeting, the membership elected the vice-president and elevated him to the presidency.

He was Brother Louis Hanus, and he servd out the un-expired term of Brother Frank Krabec, At the annual meeting Brother Hanus declined the new term in office and here again we have a son of a past president working diligently for the lodge affairs, he is non other than our Second Vice-President and one of the main coordinators of this Golden Anniversary program, our Brother Louis Hanus.

"Brother Ladislav Langer was elected lodge president for the third time and held this office from ‘ January 1, 1918 to December 31, 1921. Under his leadership a number of important events) transpired. First, in the year 1919, the lodge purchased additional property for future expansion; second, the original

Btrana 20 lodge building was enlarged and completely renovated. In the early part of that same year, a group of Lodge members banded together to form the Czech Dramatic Club, "Krouzek Hlahol." This Dramatic Club during the years gave many a sterling performance, and at the present time is under the leadership of Brother Tim Kostom as Director. Brother Kostom will present a history of the Krouzek.

Brother Kostom gave a very comprehensive and interesting history of this Dramatic Club, stating that in the month of May in the year 1919; a newspaperman, Mr. Jindra Grossman conceived the idea for such a society where the wealth of Czech traditions, songs music and theater would be perpetuated. This latent culture was to be developed and passed on to the coming generation of children from these immigrant Czechs, thereby preserving the Czech language and talents. They presented "Prisla Do Rozumu"' in 1919 their first play, then "Zenska, Vojna" followed with a play, musical or operetta every two months. One of their own members the late Brother Frank Olexa Sr., wrote "Nasi Legionnari" after the experience of Czech Legionnaires who traveled completely around the world to get back to their homeland. This 41-year-old Dramatic Club has a most impressive roster of Directors. Their present difficulty today seems to be finding young people in our midst who can speak the Czech fluently enough to appear in their plays. Proceeds were given to the Mother Lodge. It is estimated that over 300 plays have been presented by this Club since its inception.

The narration continued by Brother Olexa. "In the year January 1, 1922, to December 31, 1925 Brother Frank Ancinec was elected president of the Lodge.

In 1924 this city was for the first time in the history of our SPJST, chosen as the city for the Convention. Then Brother Tom Hosek was elected president of the lodge and held this office for three terms: from January 1, 1926 to December 31, 1928. Then Brother Frank Tesar was eleceted president of the lodge from January 1, 1929 to December 31, 1929. He is still with us and until his recent illness was very active, serving on various committees and Board of Trustees.. He was certainly one of our old and reliable members.

Brother Frank Ancinec was then elected for the second term to presidency. Then Brother Tom Hosek was elected for a third term of presidency. At his third installation Brother Hosek made these remarks: "Brother Ancinec and I are handing the office of presidency from ont to another and it would be

VIST NI — WEST, TEXAS high time that somebody else took over."

Then Brother Josef Kalousek was elected president of this Lodge, from January 1, 1933, to DeceMber 31, 1937. Under his administration the Lodge made one of its greatest gains and steps and strides forward and a number of events took place. In September 1933, the First Youth Club of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas was formed.

To bring you the message from the Youth Club, I would like to introduce at this time our Sister Youth Directors Sister Estelle Kelly, Sister Della Kadlecek and Sister Maxine Shefeik. Sister Della Kadleeek will bring us the message on the formation of the Youth Club at this time."

Sister Kadlecek gave an outline of the Youth Club saying it was former in September of 1933 with brother A. A. Lesikar its first president. She told of the humanitarian project carried on by these youngsters during the war, the year 1939, when proceeds of their joint efforts were sent to the Czech Red Cross in England. She gave a very beautiful report of these wonderful young people in this Youth Club, past and present.

Brother Olexa continues: "Still under the administration of Brother Josef Kalousek, a special meeting was called and the members were told of the status of the old building. After a lengthy discussion, the members then decided to build a new building and then procered to elect a Building Committee, also to specify the amount that they may spend on this building and at that time when this was going on, the Lodge counted 410 members. In June of that year, the old building was demolished and a new building erected in its place, but the most signigicant part about this transaction was that when all of this was happening the country, as you know, was passing through one of the worst depressions this country has ever known. These 410 members had faith in the future , To demonstrate this, that faith is best shown when one sister, Sister Marie Romancik, withdrew her life's savings at that time over $2,000.00 and submitted it on a prornisory note, that it would be repaid by the lodge.

That is the kind of people who were supporting the Lodge at that time! In February 1935, the new building finally was completed and had its official opening.

Brother Frank Ancinec was elected in 1938 for the third time and served one term as president, As I served as Vice President under brother Josef Kalousek and Brother Frank Ancinec, I, (Brother Frank Olexa) was elected president of this lodge and held it form January 1,

Wednesday May 18, 1960 1938 to Deeenaber 31, 1942. This was the beginning of World War II, and it became my sad duty on plenty of occasions to comfort many a mother and father, when their sons were reported "missing in action". Then Brother Charles Kelnar was elected president of this lodge and held office from Januaiy 1, 1943 to December 31, 1944. It was under his administration that the final payment of all debts (over $33,000.00) was paid off in less than ten years.

Then again I, Frank Olexa was reelected to the office of president and served from Januar y 1, 1945 to December 31, 1947. Here I nad the honor again of being president at the end of the war. It then became my pleasure to inform all of those members who were in the service and deturned home; that their insurance policies had been kept in force by the lodge and a t25.00 War Bond was presented to each of them. at a banquet sponsored by the Lodge.

In 1946, the lodge attained a membership of 1,000 members and then also the sisters of this lodge formed a Birthday Club. At this time we have the honor to introduce to you Sister Estelle Kelly, who is its Chairman."

Sister Estelle Kelly gave a wonderful history of this group of Houston women, whose charter members numbered 31 sisters, in 1946. "The primary purpose of the Club is to promote fraternalism and social well being of its members,' Sister Kelly said. She then went on to explain how it came forth out of Pokrok's Kitchen Committee, the key problem then was to mar age the Lodge kitchen. During the war the group aided the Red Cross by sewing, knitting and rolling bandages, gathering good used clothing and shoes for refugee relief in England. "It was at the home of the now departed sister Rose Spanhel that the idea of organizing a Birthday Club was born and it was Sister. A. Svestka who suggested it. So, on the Birthday of its 'first President, Sister Frances Olexa, in October, the club took its official form. Sisters Birdie Hilsher and Frances Kalousek are two past presidents. Today their ranks total 48 members, Remembering department members, Sister Kelly's roll call named Sister Agnes Starcala, Sister Rosie Harms, ,Sister Bohumila Sulda, Sister Rose Spanhel and Sister Pauline Studnicny.

"I am indeed, honored to be president of such a wonderful group of ladies." says Sister Kelly.

Brother Frank Olexa then continues his narration: "Brother Rudy Shefeik was elected president of he lodge and held this office from January 1. 1948 to December 31, 1953,

"In February 1949, at as special Called Meeting, the membership voted to purchase a part of a section of the Brookside Memeorial Cemetery where our membeis may be laid to rest, and this section is now known as Pokrok Houston Section. In 1952 the official language was changed from Czech to English, but at the same time the members may express themselves in the language they can best master . Again in 1952 the City of Houston and Lodge Pokrok of Houston were hosts for a second time to the SPJST Convention. Then we had the election of our present president, Brother Alfred Hilsher, who was elected and installed on January 1, 1952. He has been in office continuously longer than any one before him. That speaks well of him. He must have the confidence of the membership. I shall not judge ,him but let history judge him as it did all of us, but before I conclude this prograe:4 I shall ask that Sister and Brother Hilsher step forward.

"Sister and Brother Hilsher, it gives me honor to present you with the knife from our Youth Club President, Sister Rezek to cut the Birthday cake donated by Lodge Pokrok's Youth Club, after which the celebration will begin," in order that we may have the cake cutting ceremony," concluded Brother Olexa.

This is a very important office. One that will take a lot of time and work to 3,000.00 fulfill properly.

I am not going to go into any long 2,000.00 statement of my qualifications. I think all of you know me well enough and 1,000.00 know how I have been, and air.■ now, working for our order. If I did not feel that I am qualified and capable, I would not ask for it. I have alwys enjoyed 3,000.00 working for our SPJST very much. My only regrets are that as it is now, I cannot have all my time free for our fraternal work. With your help I will have, as I will discontinue my private business altogether. Then all of my 2,000.00 time will be free and I can put all of it into our work. I will always work in such a way that our wonderful SPJST will continue to grow better and better.

So I am asking you once more to support me in this. You will not be sorry that you did. Thanks.
