VESTNIK HERALD—

Reports from our Lodges, or any other Reading Material to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue.

Address all matters to the Editor: P. O. Box 85, West, Te

Postmaster: Please Send Form 8579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SP.IST, P.O. Rex 400, TEMPLE, TEL

FROM THE EDATOR'S DESK To The Ladies, Bless 'Eni To the women in our lodge is entrusted ever a greater portion of lodge responsibilities, which should have been appraised long ago. Only slowly over the years are our new projects taking root.

To our detriment we are not keeping abreast of the times. There is many a brother today who has the woman in his life to thank for his success.

If we were to subtract everything to which our sisterhood gave the initial push, the inspiration, in many places there would probably be pitifully little left.

Our good sisters in their reporting activities are in the majority in almost every issue of our Vestnik. They usually fill out their Woman's Nook. The "Nook" of course is a Nook of friendship, of family and lodge deliberations. There is so much to talk about, especially now that our Youth has indicated an interest in our work and our sisters have given it their solid support.

There is a variety of valuable and inspirational work our sisterhood achieves which is passed on to Vestnik's readers, such humanitarian work as our Sister Marie Toberny of Dallas renders, and as switnessed in our Vestnik; or that of our sister hanana Ceska of Waco, in behalf of our own SPJST Rest Home, Sharing with each other brings us all closer together in this lodge work, in a feeling of warmth and happiness; an opportunity to know each 'other better.

Many of our lodges already have their capable and prudent lodge reporters, and the Woman's Nook is sought in our family of Vestnik's readers and local lodges.

Please note the letters of sister Rose Mikolaj of Praha No. 29 in Taylor, in this issue. Such letters are valuable for her home lodge and its membership as well as for the whole Order.

We hope that the ranks of our younger sisters, those newly elected reporters and co-workers strive, either in Czech or English, or both, to follow the example

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." of our more experienced writers in our Vestnik; such as those of our lodges in Elk, Dallas, Houston, Waco, Ennis, Ft. Worth, Taylor, West, Hallettsville, and from many other lodges of our SPJST. We a.sk our good sisters not to refrain from writing because of shyness or inex periense in reporting, or grammer, for your Editor, who also make mistakes, will be happy to correct every letter for you to the best of his ability , So roll up your sleeves, and write to the Vestnik about your lodge activities. Your Women's Nook is expecting your contribution in this New Year, for the enjoyment of its readers.

our fraternal order, our community, and our membership.

Sometimes, only a few simple sincere words is sufficient in your letter to win the gratitude of many. So, dear sisters, write informally as you would talk, in friendship, and frorn heart Ito heart.

Encourage your lodge brothers, dear sisters, and ask them: "Brothers, do you have your program for this year worked out yet?" In the course of 1961, what do you plan to achieve for our Youth and our community? Does your program contain a publicity campaign for our lodge, a patriotic observance, a dramatic presentation, lodge celebrations, dances, Birthday parties and such clean fun?

You can do much in the way of encouragement, clear sisters, to set your lodge's goal, to create good-will, cooperation, common interest and the whole brotherhood will rejoice with you at your success!

Sincere thanks, to you, dear sisters, and to the good brothers who help you!

Feb. 14 -- Valentine's Day It's the "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue" verse time again, Valentine's Day. Hearts are flowers, ribbons and bows, full of love and cheer.

To our Lodge Youth Leaders, don't forget that Valentine Party! You are molding the most precious commodity the membership possesses, our Youth, and in your hands is the power to add the luster and richness to the life they represent. Is there any nobler work?

Let's give our lodge youngsters a Valentine Party!

Will you please remember this at your next Lodge Meeting?

Many times in life one hears or one reads of some good idea; how to improve something or support something worthwhile, but we let it doze off, forget it, or we promise ourselves that "tomorrow" we will write about it in a letter; it was tomorrow — then it was "tomorrow" again, forgotten many times and finally, lost.

So, let's not put off that which we If your Lodge has not as yet organized deem necessary or useful to our growth and success in our Order and let's put a Youth Club please do so now, You Will that good idea into immediate circula- increase the children's interest by letting tion, dear sisters. In this we can help them do things for themselves.

With the speeches concluded, the spotlight once again focused on the officers of these two lodges to take their final bow, before formal dancing and visiting was resumed, It was a short and appropriate way for a lodge to introduce its worthy and hard working officials to the membership, to honor and thank those stepping down for their deserved rest, amid flowers and music and friends.

Dear Yout11 Leaders, and Friends February is fast approaching with its tfMee important dates: Valentine's Day, George Washington's Birthday, and Abraham Lincoln's Birthday.

Here our Lodge Youth Leaders have an opportunity to give the Youth a Valentine's Party as a February project, while the Mother Lodge could turn their regular refreshments time or meal time after the monthly meeting into of gala Washington dinner with a little dress up job in the Washington motif, usually symbolized by a cherry tree and the ax, or miniature flags, red. white and blue color scheme. With a little imagination, a bit of work and planning, the Birthday of this great statesman would be observed as befitting a fraternal order in a democratic nation. It's good citizenship and sets an excellent example for our Youth.

Abraham Lincoln, on the other hand broke the chains of slavery, thus giving hope and freedom to the little man.

The Czech people fully appreciate this liberator of slavery, having known slavery in one of its foams in their own home land.

The rough exterior, the rough features, in a raw land, hid a heart full of compassion •for the downtrodden. In his fig ht to free man from slavery. he held a torch of hope to the hearts of men for human decency and freedom.

As Americans, and fraternalists, let's pause in rememberance of Honest Abe. )

The Zurovetz Family of Fort Worth Excerpts from, the Fort Worth Press: "Steering their program away from constant togetherness is how Mr. and Mrs. Daniel H. Zurovetz and son Tim have maintained their individuality.

"Where the difference in most marriages comes in is, when one partner is busy and the other is idle," explains Mr. Zurovetz.

"We're all three working at the same time and all relax at the same time."

Three rooms of the Zurovetz home, on Stadium Drive, are devoted to the family's interests. What used to be the dining room is now a studio for his photography. What used to be a garage is a completely equipped darkroom and what used to be a spare bedroom is now Mrs. Zurovetz sewing and painting room.

"I don't hunt, fish or play golf but I spend most of my spare time with photography and working for Muscular Dystrophy," says Fireman Zurovetz. He is stationed at the University and Berry Streets Fire Station and is a zone chairman in Fort Worth and executive board member for the Tarrannt County Muscular Dystrophy Association.

"Lots of women claim clubs as their interest. My hobbies are all stay-athome ones. I make most of our clothes, grow vegetables and experiment with portrait painting," said Mrs. Zurovetz.

She has already completed two portraits photographed by her husband and plans to enter school next summer to learn more.

The couple is of Czech descent, Mrs. Zurovetz is a native of Ennis while her husband is from Granger.

Sister and Brother Zurovetz and little Tim, are members of Lodge 92 SPJST in Fort Worth, Texas.

Brother Zurovetz is an accomplished photographer and he haS rendered our Lodge some valuable services. Some of his pictures were published i in the Vestnik.

Important Notice For the benefit of those who do not know: as a mutual fraternal order, our Financial Secretaries ordinarily do not mail out "statements" of premiums due.

In those lodges where they do not mail statements to members it is your duty to attend your monthly lodge meetings, and to keep your premiums paid up.

These duties together with other rituals prescribed by the State Insurance Law, give us a different tax structure to that of stock companies, So, if you owe for premiums, make it a point to come to your Lodge meeting and pay them, as no due notice will be mailed you. e •

New York, N.Y. Dear Editor, The American Council for Nationalities Service, its Board and staff send our readers their best wishes for the New Year and their grateful appreciation for support of its work.

Speaking last fall before the United Nations General Assembly, President Eisenhower cited our American experience as a goal for peoples everywhere: "Here in this land, in what was once a wilderness, we have generated a society and a civilization drawn from many sources. Yet out of the mixture of many peoples and faiths we have developed' unity in freedom. This concept, drawn from the diversity of many racial strains and cultures, we would like to see made a reality for all mankind."

And twenty years ago, another President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, expressed a shriller idea in his third inaugural: "A nation, like a person, has something deeper, something more permanent, something larger than the sum of its parts. It is that something which matters most to its future, which calls forth the most sacred guarding of its present. It is a thing for Which we find it difficult — even impossible — to hit upon a single, simple word. And yet we all understand what it is -- the spirit, the faith of America. It is the product of centuries. It was born in the multitudes of those who came from many lands — some of high degree, but mostly plain people -- who sought here, early and late, to find freedom more freely."

These two statements suggest the larger meaning of the Council's work, and the importance of the task you are helping us to carry forward.

Our thanks and best wishes.

Sincerely yours, Read Lewis and William S. Bernard )• 431 "444* fit

Why is it difficult for- senior citizens to get jobs in spite of qualifications?

These and nearly a th,ousand other questions are probed in a grassroots study of the needs, resources and interests of Texas' citizens who have reached their golden years, The results of the study are tabulated in a comprehensive report issued this week by the Governor's Committee for the Whitehouse Conference on Aging.

The fact-finding survey, by far the most extensive ever made on the problems of aging in the State, covers detailed studies in 75 per cent of Texas' 254 counties and represents the efforts of nearly 4,000 local ccorenittee participants and the Governor's 122-member Advisory Committee.

The Governor's advisory group now is drawing up a statement of conclusions from the survey findings, Senator Crawford C. Martin of Hillsboro, steering committee chairman, said.

Recommendations will include those calling for community and state action as well as at the National level, Senator Martin said.

Among facts uncovered are: Many older people of Texas are moving from rural areas to communities or cities because of (1) added conveniences, (2) employment, (3) to be closer to medical facilities of (4) mechanization and consolidation of farms have left them or their familes jobless.

Fifty-seven per cent of the counties reported shortages in trained personnel — mainly nursing — to provide services needed by the aged.

Forty-three per cent of the counties, both heavily and sparsely populatd. estimated that $1,500 to $2,000 a year would provide a minimum, decent standard of living for a retired couple, and 35 per cent placed the figure at between $2,000 and $2,500.

For an elderly person living alone, 58 per cent of the counties reported from $1,009 to $1,500, and 24 per cent estimated the minimum required at $1,500 to $2,000.

A large majority of the counties pointed out that most of their elderly people cannot meet emergencies.

There was a wide variation on the number of older persons subsisting on Ies than a minim= Income. The ma-

Wednesday, January 18, 1961 jority of counties reported from 30 to 70 per cent, but 27 per cent of the counties reported that fewer than ten percent had less than minimum require ments.

Most counties recommended an increase in Old Age Assistance as the way to bring standards to minimum.

Twenty-five counties stated that provision for some types of oneclical care would enable older persons to meet emergencies, 17 suggested increasing employment opportunities as the solution.

Another 13 per cent would solve the problem by increasing the amount of cash reserve allowed for OAA beneficiaries or , by permitting higher earnings on the part of Social Security recipients.

A tax measure of some kind — generally at the state level — was suggested by 40 per cent of the counties reporting as a means to finance broadening the programs to raise standards of living.

The grassroots study showed that the chief source of livelihood of elderly people who do not receive Old Age Assistance or other form of public assistance are (1) employment, (2) retirement plans, and (3) financial assistance from relatives, in that order. , Main reasons listed by most counties for the reluctance of employers to hire older workers despite qualifications for the job were difficulty in fitting them into company retrement plans, and doubts about flexibility to accept new ideas and methods. However, in rural counties, physical disability ranked high as a reason. Physical disability also figured prominently in a systematic special poll of small firms in Dallas.

As for local welfare work among the aged, only 18 counties reported municipal government - sponsored programs, but 108 counties sponsored welfare programs of one form or another.

One hundred thirty-eight counties reported they had no visiting nurse program. Of this number, 95 said there was a need for such a program. Very little rehabilitation services at the handicapped aged was noted by all counties.

The counties were somewhat divided on whether or not there were many cases where a senile person was sent to a state mental hospital when another type of care such as nursing home care might be used. By a small majority, urban counties said "yes," while more rural counties said "no." The state-level section of the report shows that the rate of admissions' of older patients to the state mental hospitals has been increasing at the rate of about 3$ per cent per year for the past five years..

Only 16 counties listed adult education

, VESTNt K. -- WEST, TEXAS efforts directed specifically toward older people, but among counties given age breakdowns in these classes, 1217 enrollees were from 54-64 years old, and 711 were over 65.

In 54 counties, large numbers of middle-age and a significant number of elderly take, part in adult education classes not especially directed to older people but covering their known interests Among counties giving age enrollment, a total of 6,583 were from 45 to 64 years of age, and 118 were over 65.

Two hundred and sixty-seven of the over - 65 group were enrolled for college credit.

Leisure time activities, education for employment and a need to stimulate interest of older people, ranking high among the needs of older people.

A vast majority of the older people were found to prefer independent living arrangements to living with relatives or in some form of congregate living.

Many elderly women, however, prefered living with relatives.

No great construction boom for intlividual small houses for the elderly for either sale or rent was forecast, mainly because homebuilders seemed to consider the market limited.

A waiting list of 500 was reported for San Antonio's recently-completed public housing 185-unit project designed specifically for the elderly with minimum income.

State-wide, the report shows there were 324 establishments with a total of 9192 beds in Texas which were licensed by the State Health Department to operate as nursing homes. Another 285 homes with 6015 beds were licensed to operate as custodial or attendant care homes.

Also state-wide, it was estimated that about 50 per cent of existing buildings inspected cannot qualify for license unstandards. The report attributes this to the minimum sanitation and safety standards. The report attributes this to prohibitive cost involved in renovation.

Churches led the list of sponsors of of non-profit homes for the aged. Twenty six counties listed 56 homes with a total resident capacity of 2058. Seventeen of these were under auspices of churches and sixteen were sponsored by county or city government.

Overall, the report revealed that the needs of the elderly vary greatly form city to city, as well as from one rural county to another, but generally the facts gathered given a revealing picture of the status of the aged.

The report showed that some counties show ingenuity in their attempt to bring older people into the total life of the community.

Reports From Local Lodges FROM SECRETARY-TREASURER OF ELK LODGE NO. 35 Dear Readers, and Members: I don't know how to start this but I will try to make you as good a SecretaryTreasurer as my predecessor did.

The promptness in getting your premium payments in is greatly appreciated. For the future payments, for those who wish to pay by check or money order by mail, please make them payable to Lodge No. 35, SPJST . My adddess is: Eugene L. Pavelka, Route No. 4 Mart, Texas I WD sorry if I seemed a bit slow about getting your receipts, as this was my first time to do this, and I wasn't quite sure about all of the names. Maybe from now on it will be a little faster.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I would like to remind everyone, young and old, as our President did at our meeting: next month, we will have a guest speaker at this meeting, which will be our beloved Editor of the Vestnik, and his sweet wife. At our Christmas Party he promised me himself, he will speak to everyone, in Czech to the older folks and in English to the younger ones. So please, let's show him our lodge is proud of itself, proud of our SPJST. and proud of the Vestnik, its editor and wife. Your attendance is greatly appreciated.

The lodge has agreed to pay for bread and sausage for the next meeting so you good ladies are requested to bring the rest, if you will? We haven't had sausage and trirrunin's in some time so personally, I think it's a great idea.

I wouldl also like to remind you of our upcoming District Meeting in April. The various committees will need lots of help, so let's all get behind the ball and roll it in a big way and have no one holding back.

As I understand it, we will have lunch and then at night the Entertainment committee has planned a dance. Music to be furnished by the ever popular Vrazel Polka Band of Buckholts, Texas.

This is about all I can think of now so hope to see everyone on the 12th of February. It's your lodge, please back It and its officers.

Our Reporter will cover most of this and maybe some extra.

Thank you and with best wishes until next time, I am Fraternally yours, Eugene L. Pavelka

• STN±K— WEST, TEXAS V E LODGE POKROK NO. 88 HOUSTON Along about this time of the year, the annual meetings of the SPJST organization over the state have been held and are over and the newly elected officers and committeemen take over the duties for which they were elected, or appointed.

This being true for the writer, who was elected as First Vice President, and then also appointed to act as chairman of the entertainment committee, now has got to go to work and cook up some of this entertainment business.

So, our first, or almost the first, or almost the first planned entertainment project of the year is the Dance which is scheduled to go off on Saturday, January 21, at which, with the help of Adolf Falke and his bunch of music makers, we ought to entertain you quite royally, especially now, with all the tables we have and the waiters to serve you.

So why don't you just come out and see for your self.

And don't forget to bring your friends too.

Our good sister, Mrs. Frank Pokorny, or Minnie, as she is known by her friends, who has made us a good reporter for a long time, asked to be relieved of this work. She lives on a farm and it is sometimes hard for her to get the report mailed in to our editor in time. Especially during bad weather, which we have had so much of lately. I don't expect to do nearly as well as she did, but I will do the best I can, In the meantime, we are indebted to her for all she did and hope that she will see her way clear to take it back over again soon.

Our President, Reuben Lesikar called the meeting to order about 2 p.m. We first paid tribute to two members, who passed away since our last meeting, by a standing moment of silent prayer.

They were Sister Marie Taylor and Brother Joe F. Hejl. May they rest to peace.

After all the business was taken care of, we enjoyed a nice lunch. Our good sisters (and sometime even some brothers) bring along the "Eats" then a big pot of coffee is cooked and we all enjoy it. Some of the brothers, and the sisters also, play dominoes. The others just visit. You members who have not been coming to our meetings should do so. You are missing a lot. Hope to see you start coming. Well, this is getting to be a long report, so will end it.

I hope our good Editor, Bro. Hosek, will not mind and will also correct any mistakes. Will try to make them shorter in the future.

So long until next time brothers and sisters. See you at our next meeting 2?

Hope so.

One child remarked, "Why don't you open your mouth, instead of just shaking your head'i" I remarked, "It is easier 'to shake my head than to open my mouth, after talking all day long." One little girl, who is not too bright in her studies, said "We don't hear you rattle! !"

• Game Department Reorganization

Austin — A complete reorganization plan, including a tentative budget, has been adopted by the Game and Fish Commission, following its regular meeting in Austin, Jan. 6. The plan is the first phase of a report of the Texas Research League, which was requested last year by the Commission.

Although the plan is expected to go into effect Sept. 1, the final decision on its adoption cannot be made until after legislative action, according to Howard Dodgen, executive secretary of the Commission.

The plan proposes that the State be divided into five regions, with each region to be complete within itself. However, general polcies and administration would continue to come from Austin.

Flab hatchery operation would be curtailed; the State would , buy automobiles for game wardens, and a new system of selling hunting and fishing licenses direct to license deputies at a 4 per cent discount, are among the highlights of the recommendation.

Another project would be the funneling of $200,000 game department money for the first biennium to provide recreational facilities in State-owned parks on the coast and on island lakes.

The plan will call for the transfer of many of the present employees of the Commission, giving them more responsimility, with the addition of some new personnel, The change has been made necessary because of an increased population with increased demands on the facilities of

Austin — Preliminary reports indicated the 1960 deer hunting season, which closed Dec. 31, was the most successful in the history of the Game and Fish Commission, acording to H. D. Dodgen, executive secretary.

Figures compiled by the wildlife management division show a definite increase in the kill on public hunts on the management areas. The Commission issued 2,439 permits for hunting on these areas. There were 1,841 hunters reporting and they killed 572 deer for an average of 31.07 per cent hunter success.

This insludes 261 antlered and 311 antlerless deer.

The antlerless deer kill in regulatory counties for the year was the highest of any previous year, reaching a total of 16,948 killed for a 32.23per cent hunter success on the permits issued. This hunting was over an area of 4,374.777 acres of land with 3,565 landowners participating in the program.

Field biologists estimated that the harvest would have been heavieer except for rain soaked pastures during much of the season, which held down hunting.

Heaviest recorded 1Li11 was in Llano County, where 10,753 deer were killed.

Of that number, 4708 antlerless deer were taken. Last year, Llano County checked 9,220 deer through the station there.

Harvest of antlerless deer in heavy numbers was recommended for the past season, in an effort to bring the deer population on many areas into balance.
