Cottonwood Lodge Holds Picnic Th,e Cottonwood Lodge No. 6 near West, Texas, held an afternoon Picnic, Sunday, August 7, at the Lodge Hall, to a large crowd of members and friends assembled to partake in the delicious supper and entertainment afterwards.

It was a pleasure to see members from the Elk Lodge No. 35, who are becoming very active in the District Three orbit, present to share in an evening of good fellowship and fun for which the. Cottonwood Lodge is noted.

While the good sisters prepared huge bowls of fresh salad, guests were seated around the Hall at comfortable tables chatting and visiting. The children were swarming about the grounds, chattering like magpies.

The Bingo and Choo-choo train were being set up outside to open up just as soon, as the sun went down. The Sno Cone Wagon was stationed outside with its enticing ice snow and many flavored syrups and the cars were turning onto the grounds one behind the other. Yes, Cottonwood Lodge was all set for a wonderful evening as the Editor pulled out on the road, heading for home to writeup thei two events which took place Sunday, Aug. 7 in our brotherhood.

Cottonwtocel's Reporter, Sister Ruth Krizan, will probably give you a more detailed report of this event in the coming issue of the Vestnik.

Those of you in District Two who missed this picnic opportunity — well, it was truly nice and you missed out by not being there.

Our hats go off to sister and brother John Trlica of Granger, Texas, who came out to spend a pleasant Summer among the friendliest people in the world our SPJST members in District Two. These two beloved oldsters made the picnic in spite of the heat and long road; we love them for it. At heart they are both ,SPJST! Bless you!

The editor and wife also wish to thank the District for their "invite" we enjoyed being with you and your wondereutl youth very much. Our best wishes to you all!

Everyone remember the meeting, Sunday, August 14th, starting at 2 pm LODGE NO, 88 HOUSTON, TEXAS Everyone make plans to come and be 2nd Princess Anniversary Dance on time.

During the past five weeks I have been Jay Dee Waggoner saddled with a job for our lodge teen-

Wednesday, August 10, 1960 agegroup — it's their 2nd princess anniversary dance that is to be held at our lodge No 88 Houston, Texas, on August I 13th. Won't some of the kind mothers and fathers of our lodge please inform me as to who the Democratic and Republican nominees for the President of the United States are! I have been spending my time at nights visiting many members and calling members about the teen age dance, so I couldn't very well watch television.

In a. few clays it will be August 13th and that will be the weekend the teenagers of Lodge No. 88 have been working and looking forward to. The past four weeks Miss M. Rezek, the president; its other officers and members of the teen-age club have been working dilibently almost night and day to get all communities coordinated for the final hour of their second princess anniversary dance. The dancing tunes will be furnished by the renoun dance band of Vaughan Green and his imperials.

They are very versatile in the fact that all of the members of the dance band are majoring in music at the University of Houston and can change to any type of music the public wants. Dancing time will be from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Come early so you can get a seat and table. The contestants in the princess contest have shown much enthusiasm and fraternal spirit during the past few weeks. It's most admirable when they not only have the big problem of selling tickets for votes, but they have gone so far as to give door prizes for the occasion.

Contestant Margaret Rezek is donating a nice table lamp; Mildred Vala is giving a nice comb and brush beauty set; contestant Carol Zaludek is 'donating a 16 piece of dinner dishes, and Jeannette/ Helmcamp is offering as her door prize a bowling shirt. It's commendable of these youngsters for their charitable hearts to give and work like they have during the past four weeks. A thanks to Mrs. D. Kadlecek, our youth director for the help she has given and the forever moral support given by our District Youth Director, Mrs. M. Sefcik.

Thanks to brothers F. Dvorsak and Dick Selm,ell for 'their unselfish support.

Teenager Jimmy Kadlecek, the youth vice-president certainly has proven his competence with all the successful ends he has put together and the last four weeks. He certainly has worked hard and long to help his princess win the contest. The hours he so patiently used up in soliciting door prizes, the miles he walked to sell admission tickets, his prompt attendance at all the youth meetings, his fine reporting in our Vestnik surely makes him the outstanding

Wednesday, August 10, 1960 teenager of the year. It's teenagers like Jimmy that will be the men of tomorrow in our SPJST organization. The teenage contestants urges all the members and their friends to buy their admission and door prize tickets from them before 1 u.m. Saturday, August 13th , After this time and date any tickets sold will not count as votes in their behalf. Please call them for your tickets. Let's make it a success that we will all remember. They all need your help to make it successful, Approximately 25 door prizes will be given away —so buy a 10c door prize ticket — you may win something. Call them now, now, now, so they will get many votes before the date comes to an end — Will see you August 13th at Lodge No. 88 Houston, Texas. Vaughan Green's orch estra will really give you a treat — come won't you — and bring a friend. Wait, wait, something else has been added. We will have a delicious fried chicken dinner that afternoon — so bring your wife for a nice meal.

MIST LODGE 84 BALL CLUB Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and sisters: Thursday night, July 28th, we finally defeated Capitol Records in a close game the final score was 6 to 5. It was a game we really wanted to win. We always play them a close game, but somehow we came out on the short end of the score. We scored three runs in the first inning, they tied the score in the fourth inning. They scored two more runs in the sixth inning to go ahead 5 to 3 in the top of the seventh. Albin Vrana hit a single and with two out, Jody Rejcek hit a home run to tie up the game. Then Joe Chasteen, the next batter, also hit a home run and we went ahead 6 to 5. In their half of the seventh inning, they were retired in order therefore insuring our victory.

Wesley Jaska hurled a fine game allowing six hits, walked one and struck out six men. Wilbur Munger, our catcher, turned in his usual fine performance

Vt$TINTiK — WEST, TEXAS behind the plate.

Leading hitters were: Jody Rejcek with a single and a homerun; Joe Chasteen, a home run and a walk; Paul Valenta, with two singles; Alex Parma, two singles, Albin Vrana, a walk and a single; Ben Jarma, a single; Wilbur Munger a single and Leonard Drozd, with a. sacrifice and a walk.

We had a very nice turnout at the game and we wish to thank those members and friends who were present.

Monday night, August 1, we played the Capitol Records Team again in our Monday night League and they beat us 2 to 0 in another well-played and enjoyable game for both teams.

Wes Jaska hurled another good game, except for the , lucky break by one of their batters, who hit a bad pitch for a home run with one runner on base, he shut them out the rest of the way with splendid support from all of his teammates. Jaska allowed five hits, one walk and whiffed ten batters , His battery mate, Wilbur (Moose) Munger caught a fine game.

Leading hitters were Albin Vrana with one hit and a walk; Joe Jarolik, one hit; Ben Jarma, one hit; Paul Valenta, one hit; and Joe Chasteen with a sacrifice.

Though we had runners in scoring position several times, we' failed to get that hit which would have driven in some runs.

Considering the fact that it was a late game, we had a very large and appreciative group of rooters at the game.

Our thanks for your cheering and you presence.

Thursday night, August 4, we played Texas Instruments and if we win and should Capitol Records lose to Gulf Service, then we would tie,, Capitol Records for the second half Championship and force us into a playoff with them.

It isn't probable, but it could be possible as Gulf Service surprised us the last time) we played them and this law could very well be the key to the outcome in this League. Unless we wind up in a tie with Capitol Records, this game will conclude our Thursday Night League play and any chances we could retain at gaining a possible spot in the City Championship playoffs.

Monday night, August 8, we play Massoud Marine, early game 7:30 p m. at Lawnview Diamond No. 2 and this will be our last game of the season.

We plan an having a get-together after this game which marks the close of our seventh consecutive season of having a team in the Dallas City Softball Team Managers Association.

We hope to have the largest turnout of members and friends at this game.

Strana 25 Hoping to see you at the game!

Many of us have been painting the premises to preserve and brighten up the place. The preparations and the clean-up for the painting itself is the biggest job. It is here that one's supply of rags runs out, for the wiping specks and oozing paint is endless.

I love to paint and as your Editor says, I put my ALL into it. I have it all over me and my new pera.anent, on the bucket, the ladder and all over the ground under me but I have fun. Anyway, now that it is all done, I look back with pride at my handiwork. The paint on my clothes got a good soaking of kerosene and hot sudsy water removed it. The hair with, a good job of vaseline smearing to rest overnight and it all came out in a double shampoo.

Our pretty town of West is all decked out in flags and Rodeo banners for our annual Rodeo season is at hand.

Beginning Thursday the 11th, a parade in which hundreds of beautiful mounts participated marked the opening of the Rodeo. Riding Clubs from towns in a radius of 200 miles will be on hand to add their color and impetus, while out-of-town floats and Rodeo acts — our own Volunteer Fire Department trucks, our Clubs, School Bands, Scouts and business cars festooned with placards and streamers joined in boosting the event.

Everyone takes part. The tinest cow-

Wednesday, August 1'0, 1960 boy or cowgirl gets his or her initiation riding with daddy or mother, the somewhat larger tots with their own ponies ride alongside their parents, and even our older citizens mount up to present their beautiful horses. Living in a small town is so much more intimate than the metropolitan city where neighbor doesn't know his neighbor more than in a nodding acquaintance.

Our own SPJST calendar, too, is rich with coming activities.

There are many lodge anniversaries, annual picnics, youth field days, special meetings, suppers, dinners, all of which spell Good Times Together.

As our President of the Supreme Lodge Marek once said: it is this togetherness that is so precious in these times beset with world anxieties. The sincere friendliness and fraternal love that one finds in these gatherings is priceless as it gives one an outlet for pent up troubles and worries, where for a few hours it all falls from one like a heavy coat.

Do make it a point to visit as many of these SPJST events as you can. There will be bazaars at which you can pick up a Christmas Gift or two for someone who may like handwork and at the same time help the local lodge with the sale.

The editor and I shall again look forward to seeing most of you during your District 'Meetings this fall. Having known you has made our lives richer for it, and we both hope that it has done the same for you.

It is our wish that everyone within our Order become acquainted or re-acquainted with these two industerims young people.

Queen Cathy, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Adamcik of Dallas.

Cathy is a Charter Member of Lodge 84's Teeni-Age Club. When the club originated, Queen Cathy served as Refreshment Committee Chairman. She was later elected Secretary of the club and is at present the Refreshment Committee Chairman once more. Cathy was a contestant for the title of Lodge 84 Queen during the First Anniversary Dance of 1957. She, and her escort together merited third place honors in the contest. During the elimination contest for Lodge 84's representative in District Three's "Miss SPJST Contest," Cathy ranked second highest. Cathy graduated from Our Lady of Good Council Academy this past May. She had been very active in school functions during her high school years. She and her sister are featured members of her father's Czech orchestra, the "Polka Tones." Cathy is a skilled accordionist.

Queen Cathy plans to enter the University of Dallas this fall as a Mathematics major.

STNiX -- WEST, TEXAS uit High School. He is looking forward to an equally successful four year term at Southern Methodist University which he will attend this fall. Richard seems to have a very bright future ahead of him in whatever field he may choose.

It is expected that his future in our SPJST will be a very ripe and fruitful one for our King.

This royal pair seem' to share this one important asset: a cheerful disposition and a, well-developed personality. Both are wholesome young Czech-Americans with a love for their rich Czech heritage.

We wish them a very happy reign as District Three's 1960-61 King and Queen.

Jerry Ann Urban Secretary-Reporter ) • 4•( YOUTH -- — SPJST LODGE NUMBER 84 DALLAS Dear Members and Friends, I suppose that I should entitle this article, "Reveries of a Former Queen," for it is truly just that.

A little less than a year ago, I was given the great honor of being a Princess of my Mother Lodge and a contestant of Lodge No. 84's lQueenship. At that time it was my sincere wish to earn the coveted title of Queen. But I knew that the royal title of . Qneen was (and still is) a title not easily secured. I knew that in order to obtain it much hard and determined work had to be done.

Yet ever so quickly what had once seemed like a "never-to-be-lived dream" became a reality. For on one fascinatingly wonderful September night, I was crowned "Queen of Lodge 84." Little did I realize that, that great great honor was but the first of many I was to receive during the year 1959-1960.

As I look back over my Royal Year, I can see so very clearly the many wonKing Richard, is the well-known son derful things that can make a person so of Mr. and Mrs. John Sykora.

Wednesday, August 10, 1960 perhaps no other Queen of Lodge 84 will ever have such a wonderful year to remember as I have had. And yet I realize ever so well that the success and happiness I have enjoyed would not have been mine if you, my fellow fraternalists, had not have been so positively wonderful. But the ones to whom I shall ever be so grateful for making my reign possible are James Janousek, who reigned with me, his perents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Janousek, and my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry H. Urban , And, of course, it goes without saying that people such as Mr. Sid Pokladnik, Mrs. Bessie Petr, and Mrs. Emma Ceska, made 1959-60 a year so memorable.

But just as quickly as my reign began did it come to an end. Yes, on Saturday night July 30, I performed my last official act as Lodge 84's Queen.

It was then that I had to hand down my Queenly crown and royal duties to another young SPJST member.

As I was formally announced as Queen of Lodge 84 for the final time, I could not help but think back to the time I was first announced as Queen.

Then suddenly I found myself passing the symbolic crown down to Juanita Janousek at the Fourth Anniversary Dance of our Teen Club. It had been Juanita herself who had placed the brilliant diadem upon my head but a year ago.

At this time I wish to congratulate Miss Juanita Janousek and her escort, Joe Ondrusek, for the great honor Which is their as King and Queen of Lodge 84. Since they have both served in this capacity before, I am sure they realize what good fortune lies ahead of them.

And, also, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Janie Vita and Richard Kopecky for meriting the honor of this year's Royal Escorts , I am confident that Janie and Richard will follow the excellent example set for them by Noda Rejcek and Richard Sykora who.served so eloquently during the past year in the same capacity.

To the remaining Princesses and their escorts, Sharon Trlica, Ronnie Henzen, Mary Ellen Pekar, and Kenneth Brown, may I extend hearty congratulations for a job well done. Rest assured that your efforts will long be remembered by your Mother Lodge.

As far as I'm concerned and I am quite sure that as far as the other me thers of Lodge 84 are concerned, each and every Princess wears the crown of a Queen and every Prince bears the sceptre of a King.

To former King James Janousek, I can only say Thank You for being the won-
