Fraternals

Agency RELEASES THIS. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPJST The Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas (SPJST) was chartered under the insurance laws of Texas on July 1, 1897. Its 62 years of operations have been favorable. The Society now has 31,727 certificates in force, representing $32,542,257 of total life insurance protection. Operating as a Fraternal Benefit Society it has no stockholders and all surplus earnings are held for the added protection of members. Excess earnings are paid to them in the form of refunds.

As of the year-end, the Society was licensed, to transact business, by the Insurance Department of Texas.

Insurance Department regulations assure the certificateholder that all assets are conservatively valued and that adequate reserves are maintained to fulfill all contract obligations as they become due.

The Society issues the following forms of insurance coverage: Life, endowment, tenras and, annuity. Premium rates are based on the latest available mortality tables and certificate forms are approved by the Insurance Departments of the states in which they are issued and where the Society is licensed.

Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas (SPJST) has its Home Office in Temple, Texas. Its mailing address is P.O. Box 400.

Resources — The December 31, 1959 financial statement reflects total admitted assets of $10,502,398, which is an increase of 5.9 per cent during the year.

Admitted assets consisted of the following: Ca;,h, $135,140; U. S. Government bonds, $895,143; other bonds, $192,928; stocks, $100,000; mortgage loans, $8,106,296; real estate, $195,240; certificate loans and liens, $607,740; and all other assets, $219,911.

One of the strongest arguments in favor of fraternal insurance is our open contract. Our late President of National Fraternals defined an open contract as vxlib being a contract of life insurance under 'tea which the insurer can require from the insured sufficient premium payments to enable the insurer to carry out its contract obligations. I'l.n afraid we fraternalsists do not take full advantage of tinn PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE enviable position the open contract gives "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the us.

A new rnan in the business needs training and someone to work with him for a certain period of time. The insurance agents that are making a success of the business, and by that, I mean a good living for Inds or her family, are constantly improving themselves by constant study. Plain hard work is also essential.

All of you are aware that business as a whole is now considered good. You don't have to be a Roger Babson to know this.

Nor is it necessary to read his reports to know that 1959 was considered a good year for business generally. With the na,tion's income at such a high figure, and with so much money in circulation,' it would be foolish for us fraternalists not ) to take advantage of the situation and , assure more widows and families of needed protection and help by writing an increasing amount of insurance.

One of the most vital phases of our business is our underwriting. Underwriting methods have shown marked improvement in practically all fraternal Organizations. A constant. flow of new business written on the younger age groups is naturally necessary.

Up-to-date, sound underwriting is the key to our success. We have the opportunity through efficient underwriting to make gains in mortality, which will help materially in offsetting any possible loss from interest earnings.

Life Insurance Double Indemnity Twice Those Is America's Most Used Form of Thrift Of Decade Ago

Millions of American families have a possible $125,000,000,000 of added protection under their life insurance programs through the accidental death clauses in their policies, reports the Institute of Life Insurance . This amount is in addition to the $534,000,000,000 of face amount life insurance.

Total payments of $57,000,000 were made by the notion's life insurance companies last year under clauses providing additional indemnity for accidental death usually equal to the face amount of life insurance policies. Combined with the face amount of life insurance provided by these policies, approximately $114,000,000 was paid by the life companies last year to the beneficiaries of policyholders who had double indemnity provisions. This was more than twice such payments made ten years ago and represented about 4 per cent of the total death benefits paid by the life companies in 1959.

"The significant increase in •double indemnity payments over the past decade is the result of a corresponding increase in life insurance ownership over the same) period rather than an increase in the proportion of accidental death claims," the Institute noted. "However, the continuing great toll of deaths reWe are compelled to announce that sulting from automobile accidents is refrom this )day on we have to charge you sponsible for a major percentage of such postage on all of the pictures that we claims." are to return to you.

Wednesday, September 28,

Some $1,000,000,000 of ordinary and industrial life insurance protection was kept in force last year through the "waiver of premium" clause, with the life insurance companies assuming premium payments when policyholders became totally and permanently disabled as the result of sickness or accident. ( Needles are thought to be of the first, if not the very first, tools designed by man. They have been found in the ruins and, graves of all ages and nations — from Eskimos to Zulus.

Millions of Americans find their dollars work harder for them in life insurance — enabling them to protect their families now, and build ad)ded security for themselves. Life insurance, in addition to providing for family security, plays an important role in our economic growth.

Savings, through life insurance, help provide funds far new schools, new factories and the new jobs a growing America needs.

Also remember your home can be secure when you own life insurance. You can make certain that your family will not be left with an unpaid mortgage.

Your children will be )able to go to college. By using life insurance to help provide for college expenses, you can make sure that youngsters can have a good education.

Big decisions can be made with more confidence for with life insurance you know, in advance, the exact amount of money which will be available in an emergency.

When you are all set to take it easy, life insurance can guarantee you an income which neither you nor your wife can outlive.

Your later years can be 'happier because life insurance can relieve you and your wife of the burden and risk of money management. o

"I want to thank all of our co-workers who cooperated," stated brother Vytopil, who took the speakers rostrum, "we, had a lot of work and worry. To the Brothers of the Supreme Lodge; Brother Editor who writes about our lodge and other lodges; every member who helped us in any way; some non-members. too, Thanks. I want you to meet Mr. and Mrs. James Seiger, our Lodge neighbors, who have donat2d gravel for our lodge grounds without charge. They are not our members, just good Christian neighbors and they sure ,helped us."

District, One Secretary, brother Steve Regmund, read the "minutes" of the last District One Meeting held in Blieblervine, followed by a roll call of District One Lodges.

Brother Rychlik then invited everyone present to the Fiftieth Anniversary of his Lodge on November 27. Asking everyone to cove and bring along a! basket supper.

The subject of the next Spring Meeting came up and Lodge New Tabor invited District One to-their Lodge at that time, which was accepted with thanks.

Supreme Lodge President, Brother Edward L. Marek opened the speaking session , in Czech, explaining that his attack of laryngitis makes speaking ,difficult.

"First of all, I want to say that I'm. glad that I can bo here. with you at this meeting and second; I bring greetings and best wishes from those officers who are not here today, especially brother Vice-President Joe B. Hejny, who is attending the District Seven Meeting today."

Brother Marek also .spoke in English saying "On this occasion I want to assure and extend appreciation of the fine program that was given us today by our youth under Inc direction of Sisters Matejlea and Jakubik of Lodge 9. May' I say that our Youth work is the most outstanding achievement that we have ever hade not only that we Wish to have programs but from the standpoint that we wish, our youth to be brought up under the freedom of oppOrtunity under the directive of the adults who are meeting the challenges of today; where the challenge of avera ge individuals 'of the Order wherever it may may be in these United States and Canada, are presenting themselves. `rn)se of you who have witnessed , the tyrants on TV, (World Crisis) well know the challenges that face us today, ss of your standing, regardless of the state or cont.munity under which you lire, thechalone: under the direclenges. are the en tivn of our adult monbe r :Thip our fraternal Order is making a desperate move k tO bring into our fold our youth; that you prepared under the fraternal spirit will be our lead'ors of tomorrow and these fraternal nutured mfr n and' women will stand upon the rights of freedom of this country.

"I would love to talk more on this subject but may I say in cloSing that it', is always a pleasure to come to these District Aieetings, to meet in your lodges, 'because when we coins, to i he Lodge, we understand one another better and learn the shortcbmings of one another.

May I again say it has been a ;,ure to be here with you and I am looking forward to being with you again xt year in Caldwell, Texas. Nazdar!

The Supreme Lodge Financial SecreLacy, genial Brother Raymond Urbanovshy spoke next. "Brothers and sisters, I aM very happy to be here with you. It always a pleasure to be here, I have peen here several times and always had nice time. The lodge officers always have a smile and cooperate with us in every way. I will mention that we are o,gressing nicely. Our Brother OrganT 'have, done a good job. Your Brother .rin g has done a very nice job. I don't any doubts that you can and will ch your "quota."

"1 , am glad whenever I can come here, inwife and I, and we always leave ii rememberanees of ire nice tirrie and how your youth performed.

part today, would be here to listen to me, but Most of them have now left.

(They had to appear elsewhere — sortie of them departed after their numbers on the program).

We can't blame them," continued brother Koliha, "they have other places to go. But I wish I could inspire into their souls that old Hall Building (pointing to tie0 picture: of their first Hall hanging on the wall) we see in the picture here the building where Lodge No. 39 first started in 1902. Brothers and sisters that is just a humble building, but to the lodga it was a shrine . When in later years we can come to a nice building such as this today, when we come where tbp spirit of frate,rnalism is still with us.

As I said, I wish that those youngsters that take too much for granted: t'f.,,,anks we think wr. , have to have things, to but there were many things which those people in those days did not have, things we have and they could not have!

Let us give a ."flower" to the ones who are still living — not wait until they die; it will not do thei.ti any good then.

LIZA-tar!

Then followed Vestnik's editor, brother Louis O. Hosek who said: "Brothers and tors, \vhein a fs;n:Eak to a congregation of people ml this kind, I always like to know the desire of the group. Will you raise your hand if you understand Cze.c:? Then sneaking in Czech brother Mosel,: said: It will be better if I speak in Czech. We see in the By-Laws the articles which state that this Order was organizEd that we should cultivate our Czech language; of course, in the years much, has changed. I am no exception.

I 1-,, a y r four sons whom I taught Czech, but when time came for them to leave home, two of them fell in love with women who did not understand Czech.

But I still converse with them in Czech today; that is our duty to hold our Czech language as long as possible', trough the home. It will not be detrimental to you either. Our Government is trying to encourage people now to teach their children in the language that we know; that we understand more than one langua ge; it seems a shame that we cannot teach our children that they Sbould at least understand our Czech langua ge in a general way.

"The only regret is that we converse at home in English mostly, that our Czech letters to the Vestnik ,as a result are d,finitely decreasing. Frcv:r4 time, to time you yourselves request that I write gore in English; that our young people do not understand our CzeCh. Now, clear brothers and sisters, if we, are to grow we must encourage our members that our Order be presented to the public in the best light.

Wednesday, September 28, 1960 "We have our Conventions, our meetings" continued brother Hosek, "and when your lodge is not represented at these District Meetings, doesn't care: — we can't understand why then such lodgp is not happy with the, decisions made at these meetings by the present majority, the same as in our Conventions!

At our last Convention, our officers were elected by the majority of votes and it is our duty now to support these officers . It is up to each one of you to support the decision made by the Convention and our adopted By-Laws them.

As God is my witness, it will hurt us if we don't. It is necessary to support our organizers too. They are our representatives, working for our growth.

Regarding your Vestnik, it is necessary to have Lodge Reporters who send in regular reports on how your lodge is progressing. Remember, that we have a long list of friends who are not members of our Order, but Who are interested in our local affairs. That is why we go to these meetings to not only shake your hands but to encourage you in your fraternal work and gather news Iron your locality to present to others."

Brother Frank Vytopil then resumed the chair. Brother Hosek said some mighty fine things. I want to add that we must support the Supreme Lodge Officers. Whenever we have ally questions or want explanations, our Supreme Lodge Officers can always give us satisfaction. An officer may be of the best; if he dol es not have help, he cannot do much himself." said brother Vytopil.

District One Oroganizer, witty and jovial brother Barina spoke next. Speaking first in Czech, he said in brief.

"I want to say that I 'amp very glad that I have been able to spsnd the afternoon with you I like to come to this end of the District. We always enloy and get encouragement in our work. I like to come here because our people draw me — "Svuj k Svemu" (To Each His Own) is cur proverb. We are urged to support our Youth, but we must also appreciate, our older workers while we • have them among us," stressed brother Barina. He always intersperses his talk with clean humor, to the enjoyment of his listening audiarm "As brother Koliha. remarked about the beautiful program by the children who performed," continued brother Barina, "our sincerest thanks to the Youth Leaders, but as statod above, it was the older members who encouraged them to be with us; we would not have this program here to,Uay so the credit goes to the older members as well as their young.

Remember, there is less and less of us older members, so let's enjoy this good

brother-in-law first time. She with her and tophows. saw her old sister of Mrs.

aft ten days. with a group of

Strana 10 people — including many Texans with whom they had departed from Houston.

The purpose was to take a conducted eleven-day tour of Czechoslovakia. This 2onducted, tour was the highlight of the trip. Space will not permit telling all that ,. was seen on this tour. The old saying goes, "Where there's a Czech, there's a musician." It was just that, because there were beautiful Operas, theaters, wineshops, restaurants and parks where beautiful music was heard at all times.

The architecture in the churches, museums and castles made one speechless with admiration.

For those who wished to improve their health the Karlovy Vary was the ideal place. All received a friendly welcome, and the comforts of modern, "spa" treatments awaited them. The reputation which Karlovy Vary enjoys through out the world is based on its eternally hot, irreplaceable healing hydrochloric alkaline-saline springs. This "spa" my parents enjoyed very much.

They say the remains of a World War II concentration camp. This one, the largest, was Terezin, where 35,000 or4en and women were committed to death.

After the conducted tour had run its course, my parents returned to their relatives and again were ready to see more of the bautiful country on their own.

One of the first places of historical interest to see outside of Prague was the grave of the first president of Czechoslovakian Republic. This being the grave of T G. Masaryk in Lany. Beside him are buried his wife and their .son, John.

A high fence surrounds the graves.

Another historical place, which is a memorial sight, is Lidice, where one hundred and seventy-eight men and boys were: executed during World War II. Their graves are surrounded by a beautiful rose garden.

Those of you that enjoy seeing the mass drill of our own Sokol organization can well imagine what a memorable spectacle it was to see the Spartakiade at the Strahov Stadium where hundreds of thousands of young and old, men and women performed in the stadium with -r-ass exercises and exhibitions.

Culturally, a lot of reading is done. _A l most every home has its own library.

C!.ech and many foreign classics are very popular. Children's education lasts eleven years. There are six times as many students at the technical schools now as there were before World War II. These seems to be very little juvenile delinquency among the young people.

The six weeks of a "Dream Come true" came to a tearful end , for my parents,

Dear Sisters and Brothers, Time sure does fly. I almost ciaissed a report before the October meeting. I suppose all the farmers are busy as we are, pulling cotton. c h)ld our last meeting on Sunday, ptember 11th at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Tile meeting didn't last long as no new busineas, was discussed. The p r esia:n q opened the meeting with the pledge of allegiance to the flag . We all stood for a moment of silent prayer for our departed member, Brother John who passed away recently.

The secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting and they were approved as read. He, also read the correspondence receiVcd: by him during n];•;ust. The treasurer gave his monthly report.

Sister Kocich, 90, of Temple was reported on the sick list. We hope she is progressing nicely and will recover from her illness.

Th.:re was no other new business to disco: s, so a, few of the members gale their views about the rebuilding of the lodge hall. There were proS and cons on the subject discussed. We wish, the at: tendance at the meetings would improve, because a handfill, of members can not make such big decisions as this. The planning committee will meet in October, sometime after the next monthly meeting at the convenience of its members.

The next meeting will be on the first Sunday, October and, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Won't you please come and boost the attendance way up.

I think I had better close for this time, so that it will make the deadline,.

Midnight.

Sincerely, Betty Novosad Jourdanton, Texas 411,, • I._ J YOUTH CONTEST — TEMPLE, TEXAS, Dear Friends, Here's hoping that all of you boys and girls of District II are making plans to attend the annual Youth Achievement Day which will be held in conjunction with our fall meeting at Buckholts, on Sunday, October 16 beginning at 1:30 Exhibits must be on display by 2:00 so that the judges can start judging.

Please remember this. If you bring your exhibits at 2:00 they will not be displayed as this would not give the judges enough time to judge them and too, the registration of displays interrupts the procedings of the business meeting. Displays may be brought any time before two o'clock but the exhibitors must be present to , receive the prizes.

The same rules will for the talent contest, be as followed last year. Entrants must register by 2:00 p.m. Contest will start at 2_ There will be three divisions of the talent contest: (1) sub-junior; (2)junior; and (3) senior. Ages will be: (1) 4-8 (2) 9-13 and (3) 14-18.

We are hoping that all cnotestants in the talent contest will be prepared to perform their best and not come on the stage and sing half of a song and expect to get a prize. After all, if one enters a contest of any kind he must prepare himself prior to the contest. It is not fair to those who spend a lot of time preparing for a contest and then a little cute child comes on the stage and tries to do sofr,ething and is not able. I know that they are cute but we must think of those who have tried and spent much of their time preparing for this event and then lose just because they are not as cute and pretty as some of the others. Let's prepare our children to perform their best before entering the talent contest.

In the achievement division, there will be two divisions again the junior and senior divisions. Again let me remind yon thet the exhibits must be made by the one who exhibits them. They must be new ones or ones that have never been exhibited in any of our contests.

V STN fE— WEST, TEXAS ' Here are the rules and awards: ART—Only one division in art. Scarfs, pillowcases, and any items which were meant to be embroidered and are painte, a will not be considered as art. Only pictures drawn free hand will be considered as art. Prizes will be $2 first; $1.50 second; $1 third and a ribbon for fourth place.

NEEDIFWORK — (1) Best scarf, (2) best pillowcases (3) vanity set, or others.

In each categories first prize will be $2, second $1.50, and third $1 and fourth will be a ribbon.

CROCHET: (1) Doily (2) Potholder (3) Buffet set or Vanity set. Prizes same as above.

SEWING: (1) Blouse (2) Skirt (3) Apron. Prizes same as above. Prizes in this division will be given only to the senior group.

WOODWORK: One division. Prizes same as above.

METAL CRAFT: One division. Prizes same as above.

MISCELLANEOUS — One Division — Prizes same as above, Any boy or girl in District II who is a member or whose parents or guardian are members of SPJST is eligible to enter the contests. Consolation phizes will be given to all who enter the handicraft show or talent contest and do not win a prize.

We hope that all of you will understand these rules and parents, encourage your children to enter as this is good for them and we are sure that you will be proud of them.

V S Tiff X WEST, TEXAS WE AMERICANS — WHAT ARE WE REALLY LIKE? From time to time our newspapers and magazines tell us about some of the social and cultural developments in Westtern Europe that can be traced back into our own homes and cities.

American correspondents in Europe keep noting an increase on the number of snack bars, juke boxes, television serials, hot dogs, soft drinks, young women in slacks. And, according to reports, the sacrle picture — to a much lesser degree — can be foundl in some of the large cities in Asia.

One correspondent said reaction in Europe to theese imports ranged from consternation — by those who felt their way of life was threatened — to delighted acceptance. Well, that almost mirrors the reaction here in the United States.

Plenty of us, for example, find the often raucous juke box disconcerting when we are in the mood for quiet relaxation.

Others actually seek out the restaurants which have the brightly-lit and gaudy record players.

In a way, we are proud that some of the things we may have taken for granteld, are making their ways to Europe and Asia. Besides, it is a two-way exchange. French, British, !Italian and German automobiles are seen almost everywhere on American streets. Asian food is now frozen and distributed in American supermarkets, and it is a rare American city that does not boast of French, Italian or Chinese restaurants.

Our homes are brightened by the clean lines of Scandinavian furnuitutre.

The concept of a national character and way of life is often hard to pin down. And the picture of American life, is often kiistorted and misleading in its reflection abroad . We sometimes suspect that a good many people overseas believe that the average American has a television set in his bathroom and lives on a diet of soda pop and hat dogs — all to the strains of a juke box.

This, of course, is a caricature and not meant to be serious. But it brings up the question: we Americans — what are we really like.?

Obviously, there just isn't any short, quick answer to what Americans are really like. The American people are made up of men and women with backgraunds from every nation on earth. All nations have their virtues, all their faults, and the United States is no diff, erent in this respect from other countries.

Some people tend to judge Americans by A wedding ring seems to be an excel- what they see in our motion pictures. lent tourniquet — it stops a lot of cir- This is clearly inaccurate. Even the best films, those that are works of art, can culation,

Strana 25 show only certain aspects of our national life. Certainly the gangsters, pin-up girls and billionaires featured in some movies do not reflect the average' American or normal American life.

Since it is most difficult to set the iI31age of America in true perspective, our relatives and friends overseas are often confused. They want to know all about us and read our letters with lively iaterest.

Each of us, then, who writes abroad is faced with the need to describe, define and explain. That is why our letter are so important. And that is why "telling the truth" as we know it. is both a 'challenge and a very great opportunity. ) ♦ et. ♦ Grand Opening of the remodeled and enlarged Sokol and Lodge 154 Hall will be held October the 15 and 16. -- Exhibition Drilling of local units and units. from Ennis, Dallas and Houston.

Tak jsme se rozloueili s Ostrkch rodinou. Brzo na to v tovarne zaeal take hloupe mluviti a hubovati na praci.

Tehdy byl Ostrk zaraeen a zaeal prositi. Ale tot' vite. Prioti pkistehovalctim je tady veude pkedsudek tak, jako tak, a proto nebylo to nic platno. Prisel. na mne, abych se tan pkimluvil, ale ani to nepomohlo. JeSte mi kekli, abych si hledel sveho. Proto Ostrk ztratil pekne mist() — kde jest nyni, nevim."

"Zajedeme se nail zitra podivati," — rekl Klieka vida, jak Jenik byl celk zara2enk.

"To jest neeVastnk elovek," fekl Jenik. "Ma rodinu a nedovede si dati na sebe pozor."

No a jazyk v Americe se must dreet na uzde" Potom Jena vypravoval, ee se ma jako Mohamed v nebi, ze Kliokovi jej zrovna hkekaji a zivi tak dobte, ee pkibira na vaze.

"Oveem," vysvetloval Klicka. "Jenik nikdy nepovi, ze nejen jest povaeovan jako za Mena rodiny, ale ee take jest ohledupink, tichk, dobrk pracovnik a mo je pray& ruka."
