(Pokraeovani) "MuZi, at' to Buh netresta pro tvoji lakotu." `KaZ si nekomu jinemu, rozumiS?" vyrazil Koula a odeSel na kotaleieku.

Jenik v noci se dostal dosti daleko od domova. Nepotteboval se bati. Vedel, ze pro neho negajdou na novou kicivou Zalobu Klimovu az tteti den a proto mel dosti easu. Koupil si listek na drahu a blizko hranic.

Tam dojel, maje v kuffiku veci, jakoby gel na praci "do Nemec".

Nedelali mu proto obtiZe pai piechodu ac music jednati velice obeztele. — Kdy byl pies hranice, oddechl si a v podvee'er ttetiho dne, sede v hostinci vzpomel: "Ted' asi jsou cell udiveni, kam jsem odeSel." Pak sedl a napsal dopisy.

Psal rodiefn, psal Aniece, •psal syYm ptatelfim.

VAichni byli radi, 2e jest ,v bezpeei ale Kohn nebyl jests spokojen. Chtel miti vetSi uspokojeni a jistotu nepochodil, kdy se vyptaval — "Velike tahanice a pak nevi zde nal° dilkazu."

"A co 2 . ", ze uthekl pied vojnou?" na mitt Kohn. `To neni dokazano, je gte nebyl volan k odvodu a snad se do to doby ti," znela odpoved' .

Tim byl odbyt a spechal domt, aby mohl uskuteeniti svfij cil, ne2 se Jenik vrati.

Tento psal svYin rodiefun, "se jest v§e dobte a ze jim bude psati, aZ se dostane na misto Rozumeli mu.

NeZ jak to zatiditi, aby mu mohli poslati nejake veci, ktere si ptipravil? Jak jiZ to vAak bYva, kdy jest nouze nejvyASi, jest pomoc BOZI. nejbliZSi. DobrY se dovedel, ze z nedaleke vesnice pojede do Ameriky rodina cela a proto se tam vydal, aby po ni poslal do Bremen kufr s vecmi JenikovYrni.

Ale zase kam?

Zase se dostavila pomoc.

Psal dp. Prachat, jen zastaval misto duchovniho pro ptistehovalce: "Milk pane DobrY: VAS syn sem pffiel ke mne a ja sam. Wei po§lete na moji adresu.

PoSlete Irk a jests mfaete, jestli chcete nee° ptilOiti. V ge poSlete s rodinou OstrY ho, jen jest hla'Sen take , pro Ameriku.

Jenik bude na ne eekat, nebot' pojede

To ptineslo DobrYnnt atechu. Anieka eetla a eetla psani znovu. Nyni vedela kam jests mute Jenikovi napsati na roz loueenou. Take kamaradi byli radi. Jen Klima, Koula a Kohn nebyli spokojeni, protole vedeli, ze Jenikovi jiz nemohou nic udelati.

Psali vSichni a dopisy ty slotdily pak Jenikovi jako atecha na. loth.

Jenik, kdy byl po ptechodu hranic napsal dopisy, odebral se hned, smerem k Bremen. Vedel, ze jest tarn knez, tech, kterY se stard o vystehovalce a proto gel, aby se s nim poradil. Cesta Nemeckem byla pro nen° neeim novym. pekne vesnice s hezky upravenYmi yesnicemi, zahrddkami, videl pekna mesta a zahradkami, videl pekna Gila mesta a vSude sameho vojaka.

"Tohle vojaneeni jest tady skuteene jako pied nejakou vojnou," tekl si, kdy videl kam se jen ohledl sameho vojaka,. "Dobte 2e bude prye."

Byl nyni rad, at srdce mu krvacelo, ze nebude nucen jiti do valley, kdyby yypukla. Krajina v Nemecku jej zajimala a proto mu cesta utekla jako nic. ftee camel, protole byl, jak v 6echaeh tikaji, "na handlu" v Neincich. Nyni se mu to hodilo a nemel proto zadne obtize.

Koneene dojel do Bremen. Velke me sto na neho mocne pfisobilo se syYmi nacthernYmi stavbami. Piece v gak nedbal na krasy tyto pranic a hledal dp.

The best jobs and the largest fortunes are in the possession of ordinary people. Nearly everyone who will knuckle down to hard work where he is, can make a fair success of life.

The saddest failures are found in the ranks of men of more than ordinary ability who shift jobs so oft h between the ages of 25 and 40 years that they have no firmhold on any job or business. By the time they are ready to settle down, they find that they can't dislodge the pluggers and the stickers.

They have to take marginal poSitions that exist only in time of general prosperity. Necessarily they are the last to be hired and the first to be laid caf.

America's Declaration Of Independence On the first day of July, 1776, a British fleet car rying Howe's red-coated army sailed into New York harbor.

Ninety miles away in Philadelphia, a young Continental Congress had gathered in the State House to debate a Virginia resolution declaring that "these United Colonies are, and of a right ought to be, free and independent Mates."

If this) resolution were passed, it would constitute the act and fact of independence. The Declaration of Independence, adopted three days later, would be the explanation of this act to the world.

By the end of the day the delegates urging independence for the thirteen colonies, led by fiery John Adams of Massachusetts, prevailed. On July 2, a messanger from George Washington arrived with the ominous news, of the British attack on New York City. Doubtful men and colonies fell into line. The vote of the thirteen colonies was unanimous.

"The second day of July, 1776," John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail, "will be the most memorable . . . in the history of America. I . . believe that it wilt be celebrated by succeeding generatici)s as the great anniversary festival."

On the third of July, debate began on the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson and designed to tell the governments of the world why the colonies had proclaimed their independence. On the fourth of July the vote was taken. The delegates, voting by colonies, rather than as individuals, approved the doccument unanimously.

It was thus that the day of the Declaration's passage — July 4, 1776 — became America's Independence Day instead of July 2 as prophesied by John Adams.

We commonly speak of the Fourth of July as the day when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Actually only John Hancock, President of the Congress, affixed his name on that particular day as a token signature to make the document "official." It was not until August 2 that the rent of Congress — 56 men in all — signed the Declaration that proclaimed itself as the "Unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America" — the first time that those last four momentous words were used

Strana 13 The first recorded celebration of the Declaration of Independence was held on July 8, 1776, the Monday following its adoption. On that day Philadelphians attended a mass meeting in the State House yard — now Independence Square — to hear the document read aloud.

Bells and chimes rang and "the battalions paraded on the Common."

We celebrate the Fourth of July as the birthday of our Nation. No nation was born under more stirring circumstances.

But like all birthdays, Independence Day is something more than a solemn event. It is a family holiday as well — gay, full of fun and games, as a birthday party should be.

So when we write to our friends and relatives abroad, our letters will be about the parades and picnics, the speeches, band concerts, and ball gapes, the fire-crackers, by day and sky rockets and Roman candles by night. Yet perhaps we should spend a line or two to tell them what the Declaration of Independence still means to us in America — the ordinary, everyday things that give personal meaning to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." )• (

Strana 18 LODGE 84 DALLAS Dear Fellow Brothers and Sisters, Convention time has much too quickly come and gone. Our wonderful Order has recorded another four years of fraternity, benevolence, and brotherhood, , in its history.

I cannot tell you in ordinary words how much it meant to me to have been able to attend this Eighteenth convention of our SPJST. I have said it before and I will say it again, this convention was but the first of many I hope to attend. Already I am looking forward with much anxiety to number nineteen.

If chance presents itself I don't think I would trade this past convention week for anything else in this world. Attending this convention made me realize so much more what a truly wonderful Order the SPJST is. Again I have seen teamwork and brotherhood at work in our Orred, but this time on a much larger scale.

But besides being given a greater lesson in work of the SPJST, I was given a deeper insight into the personalities of the many persons who make up the SPJST membership. I couldn't begin to count the numbers of new people whom I met during the past convention week.

Many new friendships were made and I can assure you that I shall never forget any of the wonderful persons that I came to know and love.

Those younger members who were so fortunate to have gone should cherish always the memories of convention time in San Antonio. Each day something new and different and wonderful took place. Many of the young adults prob ably do not realize what a great experience was afforded them. Many may not realize bow tremendously lucky they were to have gone. Perhaps at the next convention more young adults will take advantage of the opportunities offered them at our fraternal sessions.

This convention will always remain in my heart because of the fact that I had the privilege of being a competitor for the title of Miss SPJST. This was in itself a great honor — to represent my District in such a contest.

The six candidates that I met during this contest will hold a special place in my heart. To Marian, Helen, Betty, Sandra, Carmen, and Barbara goes my most sincere wish for a wonderwul future for each You are all wonderful girls and a credit to your Lodge and Order.

It was much to my surprise to have been selected "runner-up" to the first Miss SPJST of the State of Texas. 1 shall not hide the fact that I was happy and sad at the same time. My one great disappointment and regret is that I shall

VESTN iK — WEST, TEXAS never again be able to compete for this coveted honor. Yet, knowing that so many people, even those within other Districts, were standing behind me in this contest means as much if not more than if I had won the Miss SPJST crown. Of course it is every girl's dream to be crowned Miss SPJST but only one can be so very fortunate, I sincerely hope that my District Three will continue to give inc all the support which it has given me in the past. especially during this contest.

Althrough the crown was not mine to 'Wear, ray District can boast of the fact that we won our honor honestly, fairly and according to the rules.

I have been told that Miss SPJST expressed exactly what the SPJST meant to her in away in which not even a lifetime member could have. I can only hope that in describing the SPJST, Miss Watson fully understood the meaning of each word in her answer, I also hope that Miss SPJST will realize what a tremendous honor was bestowed upon her and what is more important that she fully understands the responsibilities connected with such a great honor. I hope that Sandra, will serve our Order in a way befitting a Queen and that she will never take lightly the duties of being Miss SPJST. I am very sure that District Five will always remember this Miss SPJST contest. I am equally sure that Mr. Charlie Cerny will never forget it. Many people have remarked that he should be commended on being such a able speaking coach for the winning contestant.

As Miss SPJST's runner-up, I offer each of you my fraternal brothers and sisters, my promise to always remain devoted to the SPJST, both to its work and its members. It has become a magnificent part of my life after seventeen years as a member. I will always work for its greater growth and success.

There are many people to whom I am particularly indebted for their time and efforts during this contest. But the ones to whom I shall ever remain grateful are my parents, Mrs , Emma Ceska, Mrs. Bessie Petr, Mr. Sid Pokladnik, and all the Teen-Agers of Lodge 84.

The Teen-Agors wired me a telegram on the morning of the contest and our Vice-President, Joe Ondrusek, presented me with a beautiful orchid in behalf of the entire club. These teen-agers are positively a wonderful group of young people and as far as I'm concerned they don't come any better.

Now, perhaps, I aim putting myself in danger of great reprisal, but I have one thing to impress upon thet minds of our Supreme Lodge Officers and all our members. A contest is not a contest un.-

Wednesday, Jitne 29, 1960 less every rule is followed to the very smallest detail. If we fail to follow precribed rules simply because we are afraid of hurting ourselves or others, we are doing more harm than good. In every contest we run the risk of offending or disappointing one or more persons. But never should we discard what we know as right to win self-acclaim or self-respect. It is my earnest desire that in the future, those concerned will abide by the rules laid down and will hold fast to them no matter what the cost. Our SPJST is supposed to be an Order founded on fairness and justice but if we as members cannot follow even the simplest of contest rules to the simplest of contest rules to the smallest smallest point, we are throwing away and literally denying the very purpose of our SPJST, In conclusion, may I thank you once again for the honor recently given me: that of being "runner-up" to the first Miss SPJST. Let's all work to make our Order a better place to be.

Gratefully, Jerry An Urban • 4. ° ( YOUTH CLUB OF LODGE NO. 54 West, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: On June 1, 1960, our Lodge Jaromir 54 held a "Get Acquainted" meeting in order to get our Youth Club organized , The party was a great success.

Dear Vestnik Readers, The Youth Club of Lodge 56 had a meeting June 12th. We gave Birthday presents to Georgia Ann ?eters, Jerry Majek, and Gordon Castro.

After the meeting we had a cake walk and the proceeds earned will help our club, Thanks!

Then we had our Father's Day Prograin which I hope everyone enjoyed.

The ones that were on the program were: Sam Peal, Leon Castro, Pat Peal, Michael Majek, Jerry Majek, and Gordon Castro saying parts to "Father."

Martha Mae Sassin and Butch Wyatt did a "Dutch Preformance," Michael and Jerry Majek played "Music on the Air" and "America" on their trumpets.

Georgia Ann Petters sang "A Guy is a Guy." After the Program we had a baseball game which ended fehe evening. So I will close now and write at a later date.

Bear Readers and Friends, After just reading the Vestnik, I find that the princesses and escorts for 19601061 were ommitJed from my letter. I I realize that with the convention and all that a mistake of this sort is highly possible and we are in no way displeased.

Our princesses and escorts for the coming Fourth Anniversar y Dance are as follows: Miss Juan'.ta Janousek, escorted by Joe Ondrusck Miss LinCa Moore, (escort has not been chosen) Miss Sharon Trlica, escorted by Ronnie Henzen Miss Janie Vita, escorted by Richard Kopecky.

VESTNI; K — WEST, TEXAS I can't urge everyone enough to attend our Fourth Anniversary Dance and Coronation Ball. This dance shows the hard work of our contestants for the title of King and Queen of our teenage club, as well as the work and support of all our theenage members. Since our teenage club was the first to hold a contest of this sort in the history of the SPJST, and since other lodges as well as the districts have adopted simular queen contests, why not come out and see the "original." Of course, we are all workingfor the same goal: to promote the SPJST more fully all over this state of Texas; and we are indeed proud that others in the SPJST have followed our pattern.

Strana 19 We do suggest that if you : plan to attend buy your tickets early and avoid the long line at the door. You can obtain your admission tickets from me.

They are $1.00 each (under 12 Free).

Please specify which princess you wish. your purchase to be credited to. If you haven't any preference, your purchase will be divided equally among all four couples. Since we only had a limited number of tickets printed we urge you to act now.

In addition to the admisSion tickets, we are selling chances on seven prizes valued at nearly $250.00 for only 25c each or 5 for $1. It is very seldom that you can get so many prizes valued at so much at just 25c each and 5 (1 book) for a $1. I might add that the winner need not be present and they may be obtained in the same way as the admission tickets . These, will also count as points for the princess of your choice.

The prizes are as follows: 1st prize — Poloriod Land Camera kit (complete) -2nd prize — Silver Tea Serving Set 3rd prize —Charcoal Range with Pressureized Oven 4th prize — Radar Light (with battery) 5th prize — Deluxe 16 in. Lazy Susan (with salt and pepper shakers and tooth pick holder to match) 6th prize — Cardinal Game Set (over 20 different games included) 7th prize — Large Thermus Jug (to keep your beverages just the way you want them).

In case the winner is not present we will pay the delivery charges. Whether you are a member of Lodge 84 or not, by supporting us you will help yourself and the SPJST. With the tmaceeds from this affair we assist our Mother Lodge, finance our activities, contribute to the SPJST Rest Home, and acquaint others with the SPJST Fraternal Order. My last point results in new members which in turn causes a chain-reaction to bring in more nw. _members. Thus the SPJST grows and grows until maybe one day SPJST will be over Texas from iwrcier to border.

'If anyone would like any tickets, or more information, please address your cards and letters to me: James Janousek, 6317 Bryan Pkwy. Dallas 14, Texas. will be happy to assist in any way I van.

See all of you on the 30th of July.

One person commented last year after the dance: "This was the most beautiful ceremony for a Queen Dance I have ever seen in my travelings over Texas and surrounding states." She went on to add, "I would willingly pay the admission price just to see the beautiful ceremony and not even hear an orchestra!" By the way, this person does not belong to the SPJST and we are thus certain that her opinion was completely honest and sincere. You have all heard about our big affair but many of you haven't had the opportunity to witness it in person. This is the year you MUST make plans to attend our Fourth Anniversary Dance and Coronation Ball.

I will even go so far as to guarantee that you enjoy our dance and ceremony or I will personally refund your money out of my own pocket. The hall will be decorated and the ceremony arranged so that you will think you are in the midst of an actual crowning of Medieval Times. Our music__ will be furnished by John Rejcek's Orchester of Abbott. Now if you don't care to dance and don't particularly care to see the crowning ceremony, we invite you anyway because we have something you will enjoy. It is our door prize. We are giving away a week's supply of groceries and meat and no special ticket need be purchased to get a chance on this lovely prize. All you have to do is be present at the time of the drawing which is about 10:30 p.m. I'm positive that every reader can make use of this prize and any that can't, please write me your secret and tell me why your family does not need this prize with prices as they are. So I urge you once again to make plans NOW to attend our Fourth Anniversary Dance. It will be on Saturday, July 30 at the SPJST No. 84 lodge hail — 2625 Floyd St. in Dallas. The highIs there a man on the street who will light of the evening, which is the crowning ceremony will begin at 10:00 for the admit he does not have the answer to convenience of our out-of-town visitors. the major questions of the day?

I want to personally thank the members of the Convention Committee, Mrs. Amburn, Mrs. Gloria Gordon, Mrs. Marcella, Kleprlik, Charles Sazavsky, L on Stavinoha, and Mrs. Mildred Strobel, who have worked so faithfully to make this convention such a pleasant one.

We also want to thank the Supreme Lodge for sponsoring the Miss SPJST contest and their Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Sid Pokladnik of Dallas.

District V — Not announced as yet.

Strana 24 Thanks also to all committee members and to the members of the Supreme Lodge and, in fact, to all of the delegates for their excellent cooperation in helping us to complete the work of the convention in five days, for the first time in many conventions.

May I add that with similar cooperation of all delegates at the next convention, whoever the convention officers may be, the 19th Convention can possibly finish its work in four days because of improvements in the bylaws adopted at this convention. Members of the Supreme Lodge in the future will submit all of their reports prior to the convention and, thus, possibly almost a half a day will be saved. It will not be necessary under the new by-laws for a committee on daily procedure to read a report or to have it adopted. There will be no convention publications committee, but the regular publications committee will submit its report and recommendations in writing prior to the convention. There will be no committee on convention expense according to the new by-laws. Their report, therefore, will be eliminated from the convention procedure. The new bylaws provide that the delegates' pay and mileage will be mailed' from the home office AFTER the convention. In the future, all requests for donations must be verified by local lodge officers and this procedure will simplify the task of the committee on salaries and donations. The Organization Committee, likewise, will submit its report befor the convention. The By-Law Committee thoroughly overhauled the bylaws, and it is my opinion that the report of the By-Low Committee at the 19th Convention, therefore, will be brief.
