THfIC—WEST.TEXAS

VESINiK 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, Texas.

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3570, With Kndeliverahle Copies to SUPREME LODGE MST, P.O. Bon 400, TEMPLE, TEX.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Office annually, a large block is estimated to be life insurance mail.

Even though life Insurance mail seldom reaches the Dead Letter Office, thousands of letters involving life insurance companies fail to reach policyholders or beneficiaries arid: are returned because of inadequate address given the company by correspondents. )•

Will You Tell Your Wife?

Do you remember the time you joined your Lodge and took out a policy, which you are now contemplating to drop?

At that time when you joined your lodge, you told your wife about it, didn't you? When your application for membership was accepted and you were initiated, you were happy and proud. Your wife, likewise, was proud and contented.

And, now you are thinking about dropping out — have you told your wife that you are -forfeiting your lige insurance protection — or in better words — Her Insurance?

If you haven't told her as yet, do so.

In all probability she won't be as happy and contented as she was then with your news — but tell her anyway. Do not leave her in the deceiving allusion that she has protection into the future, when she doesn't.

We request this little favor of you, if not for your wife's sake then for the sake of the Order which has been protecting you up to now. It isn't a pleasant thing for your Order to have to inform) a widow, that there is nothing for her, that yOu let your insurance policy lapse and therefore has nothing coming to her from the Order.

There are quite a number of members who when times get a little difficult, inform the Lodge Secretary that they are "getting out," or they let their policy run its face value course and then lapse, but they never tell their wives. They forget.

The widow only learns of this after the funeral when it is too late.

If, therefore, you have any such thoughts of dropping your insurance in our Order, don't forget to tell your wife in the first place, in fact your family.

This is the only decent and right thing to do toward the family and the Order who insured you. ) • 4 •(--

Organizers' Meeting DISTRICT THREE ORGANIZERS ATTEND WORKSHOP AT ELM MOTT In order to keep abreast with new developments in our insurance field, District hree Organizers attended a "workshop" Friday night, March 17. at Linden Hall, Lodge No. 66, which school was conducted by our Brother Joe B. Hejny, Vice President of our Supreme Lodge and Brother Raymond Urbanovsky, our Supreme Lodge Secretary.

Due to the serious illness in the District Organizer's family, Brother Arnold 1Vrla was assured that this scheduled workshop would be held in his aosenee and Brother Urbanovsky agreed to cad.itct same. Brother Joe Hejny, in the last moment was able to cancel his commitment and also came to help conduct the school. Between these two brothers, the Organizers had a very informative ses, sion.

BROTA1ER JARDA CERNY Our Brother Jarda Cerny of Houston, Texas, has recently been appointed District Five organizer and our Brother Joe B. Hejny, in his letter of introduction has asked the brotherhood to please cooperate with Brother Cerny and call on him at any time you may need any assistance with our organizational work as he will be most happy to oblige.

Brother Hejny stated in his letter that Brother Cerny has good knowledge and experience in selling life insurance, He promised to work and-cooperate with you in the Home Office to the best of his ability. He is capable and well qualified to be of great assistance to you and the SPJST Order.

Our best wishes for success go out to Brother Cerny and we hope that he will let us hear from time to time about his work as he progresses.

District III Youth Camp

Those attending were: Brothers Ed Mazanec, J. J. Kostohryz, J. Dujka, Joe Mach, his fine lady came along, too, Anton Pavelka and this lovely wife and daughter, J. Holub and his charming lady, M. Janke, E. Hanus, 0. Ces,,a and his charming Emma, R. Cervenka, District Director; E. Popp, R. Volcik, Ed. Marek, and his wife and daughters; Raymond Urbanovsky and his lovely wife; Joe Hejny and his charming wife and son; F. Kofnovec, Etd Stuchly and wife and the Editor and his spouse. In all, this group filled up a long table arouud the blackboard and a three-hour session began.

For the benefit of our new Grganizers in this District a repeat question and answer period was held. There was no timidity and questions were hurled at brother Hejny from all sides as they arose so that it seemed that Brother Hejny had a workout, not the Organizers.

Even the ladies showed their rapt attention by asking questions of Brother Hejny. Some of them kept notes for their Organizer husband.

Strana 13 the fine points of beneficiaries and contingent beneficiaries; options, endownments, settlements, etc.

Brother Hejny handed out his supply of calling cards and paraphenalia which the "Field Man" uses with his contacts.

These were studied with keen interest as each organizer could see the potential advantage they offer a serious and busy organizer.

Brother Raymond Volcik of the Cottonwood Lodge No. 6, received his prize for being top man in Vebruary in District Three; a pair of beautiful milkgleass boudoir lamps which were the envy of every woman present. Now, Brother Volcik is one of the newest Organizers and has started off with a "bang". He is also president of the Cottonwood Lodge, and together with the Krizans of that Lodge, should go far in swelling the membership lists of the Cottonwood Lodge. Congratulations to you, Brother Volcik.

Brother Robert Cervenka, District Three Director, welcomed everyone to the Workshop, stating that the too, was glad he came to this live discussion, and he thanked Lodge 66 for the use of their beautiful Linden Hall.

Brother Urbanovsky, who injected his clarifying remarks to many of the questions popped at Brother Hejny, spoke to the Organizers. He discussed our frater• nal Order, breaking down his Financial Statement which appeared in the Vestnik, bringing home the thought that they represent a big, and fine fraternal order; that they have a moral and ethical obligation to it and the way they represent it in the field.

Many fine benevolent features were pointed out in our dealing with Mr. and Mrs. John Doe. He told them what their responsibilities were in regard to the collecting of the first premiums on a certificate. Both Brother Hejny and Brother Urbanovsky informed them that the common use of the word "policy" is in truth a "certificate" and encourage4 them to use the proper terminology for proper identification.

Sister Emma Ceska, District Three Youth Leader, again outlined the tentative calendar of events for the summer of 1961 in District Three, and she urged the Organizers to co-operate with the movement. She discussed the point system and how referrals within the set time of the Contests would effect the candidates for the Princess and Duchess Contests going on in the District now.

She spoke of the State Talent Contest which would be an Annual affair; fourth year (Convention) it will be the Miss SPJST Contest. She urged the organizers to appoint a candidate in their lodges

ititrana 14 immediately for the Princess and Duchess Contest whether there is a Youth Club in that lodge or not. She stated that if there were an eligible young person in the lodge; that that person should not be handicapped because there was no Youth Club. She pointed out that this particular person could then perhaps be the nucleus for the realization of a Youth Club in her respective lodge.

Sister Ceska called attention to the Youth Activity Day which will be held on September 25 at Lodge Praha No. 29 in Taylor, stating that this wonderful lodge would host the Astivity and that our SPJST Rest Home in that city would be an inspiration to all who visited it. She again cited the revelation of her happiness received when the Linden Sprouts visited this Home .during the Yule Season bringing home the axiom "as you give, so shall you receive." Or better still, "as you sow, so shall you reap."

She informed the organizers that more details about this event would be forthcoming in the rapidly approaching District Three Meeting which would be held at the Elk Lodge No. 35. She told of the "workshop" held at Supreme Lodge Headquarters of all the Youth Leaders and hoW stimulating and inspiring it was to the Sisters who attended.

Brother Editor Hosek, spoke briefly to the organizers, stressing the importance of keeping in touchwith the rapidly marching events, not only in the world but the Order as well. He pointed out that the pace of modern living and Irethods of doing business necessitated these workshops, if our Order wished to maintain its place in line with other companies in like field. He thanked all of the Organizers for taking time out to come to this night class from the warm and comfortable hearthside of their homes, to learn of these new things as they came up.

In following these workshops for several years one can see them develop into a verry valuable tool in the hands of a capable District Organizer and member of the Supreme Lodge level.

In watching these "go getter" young men in our fraternal order who steer this phase of work, one can visualize the handicaps of the uninformed organizer, for oftentimes the written word is misconstrued, and only in such a workshop can the organizer's misconception be steered onto the right road. This was proved at this workshop when Term Insurance was mixed up with Mortgage Cancellation in discussion; or a rejected applicant to a suspended member.

District Three is making great plans for the coming months just ahead, and any organizer who wants to be on the

V2STIsTilt—WEST„ bandwagon, to know what's going on, must be in the know. It's as important to the organizer as a sharp pair of sweeps on a tractor is to the farmer.

Again thanks to Linden Hall for the use of the Hall. They had all of the tables and chairs stacked preparatory to working on the floor. Since they had that wide area of parking space "hottopped" they can better control the clay which was tracked in, on their floor.

They do have a comfortable Hall where every member of the family can find entertainment. To prove the point, last night though there were some children there, no one knew it for they were quiet and happy playing in the Hall.

That is the answer, too, to the ever growing problem of delinquency — if the child is busy and happy, he has no time for mischief --- what better investment could we have for a child than a Lodge Hall like the SPJST have all over Texas.

The whole brotherhood, the Third District especially, sends Brother Joe Vrla of Lodge 130, who was suddenly stricken ill, our well wishes, our prayers, and a congratulation on his fine and energetic SPJST family of active workers. May he live long to enjoy the rewards of his labors in the fraternal work which he gave in the best years of his life to his Order. To his son-in-law, Brother Arnold, know that your Third District Organizers are with you in thought. They all appreciate the work, preparation, thought and love that you put into this work, to make your District a leader.

To the few Organizers who could not make the Workshop last Friday night, you will be sorry, as the saying goes. It is your loss!

Hope to see you at our next workshop!

In the days of Thomas Jefferson, there Were spendthrift elements, the same as today. Jefferson spoke out boldly against the threatening danger: "I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest ad dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our choice between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If We run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and our comforts, in our labors and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the false pretense of caring for them, they will be happy.

me Thoughts There is no form of government which is in such urgent need of leadership of the best of ours. — Democracy is a form of government so high an;c1 so exalted it requires a high level of intelligence ta appreciate it and a high standard of character to maintain it. To many people democracy is a leveling down process.

That is not true. Robert Ingersoll said, a college is a place where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed. I do not propose to debate the correctness of that judgement, but I do know that in our attitude toward democracy this mistaken opinion is all too prevalent. Unless we have in our democracy the leadership of the best, we are lost.

• • The only thing I can find in life which seems to survive most of the disasters of living is learning. — Even when you feel lonely and getting old like me, you can keep yourself at least occupied and interested if you try to find out how alt the wheels in the world keep on going around.

• • Goodness and greatness in a man may be difficult to define unless they are associated with capacity for tolerance.

• • We are inclined to imagine that only intellectual or artistic pursuits will cure boredom, but sometimes the exact opposite is true. I once knew a successful businessman who suffered boredom and tried to conquer it by writing. For several years he went home nearly every night and spent several hours working on a book; but his boredom continued. Then a friend induced him to go on a fishing trip, and he discovered that he could fish or hunt or just tromp through the woods for hours and hours without suffering a twinge of boredom — Someting in his personality was released by these natural activities and surroundings.

One of the finest sides to living is liking people and wanting to share activities in the human enterprise. The greatest pleasures come by giving pleasure to those who work with you, to the person who lives next door, and to those who live under the same roof. Entering into this homan enterprise, feeling oneself a part of the community, is a very important element which generates happiness..

• o • Tin; greatest weakness of education lies in the reliance placed in it by too many of those who have been to school.

It is wrong to rely on what others have said in the classroom or written in a book, to determine exactly one's decisions and one's thinking. A man or woman must find time to go off and to be lonely and to ask of themselves what is happening in their own minds.

• You store things in you brain just as you store things in your purse for future use. You must train your memory to remember what is stored there. This memory training is vital, for without it you would not be able to dig into the recesses of your brain for those things you have stored there against the time when you will need them again. Were it not for this stored knowledge, and the ability to recall it when needed you would have to learn everything anew each day. ♦ 40 ♦ FAMILY REUNION The Heible and Kurtzman families will hold their reunion on Easter S and -Ay, April 2, 1961 at Flag Hall near Cyclone, Texas.

District One Holds Spring Meeting The New Tabor Lodge No. 17 near Caldwell, Texas, hosted District One, for their Spring Meeting, Sunday, March 19, to a commendable crowd of members and visitors from other Districts, in spite of rain and threatening weather.

Presentation of Fifty Year Pins to some 37 members present, who have been in tie Order 50' years or more was the highlight of the meeting, other than a rich Youth Club Program that followed.

A short business meeting cut to the minimum because of the other things on the agenda, election of officers for the year 1961, recognition of dignitaries present, was followed by a supper, served by the good sisters of New Tabor.

Brother A. E. Jakubik was elected President for 1961 with Brother John Vavra his Vice-President and Brother Steve Regmund his re-elected Secretary.

Sister Lillie Matejka was re-elected District Youth Leader, who will appoint herself an assistant. The time and place for the next District One Meeting to be announced in the Vestnik at a later date.

Some aimless wind had blown the seeds into this dark place, and there they had taken root. There they clung to a pale existence while just outside the tunnel lustier plants throve in the richer soil and sunshine of the fields.

How much more fortunate are we human beings! Aimless minds may leave us stranded on the barren fringes of life, but we can always pull up our roots and move on It may not always be easy; it may take courage and strength and judgement.

Breast cancer accounts for about onefourth of all cancer cases in women, while uterine cancer is next cancer is next in order of occtrance.

In a yearly physical check-up a physician may take a uterine smear for analysis, whereas a trained technician can detect early cancer.

The unversal use of uterine smear saiaear analysis at least once a year would virtually nullify uterine cancer as

The key to cancer cure or arrest lies in early detection, a fact which is repeated continuously to the public over every possible news and information outlet.

For women, early cancer detection is surprisingly simple, provided proper examination techniques are performed.

Women's Nook TEMPLE, TEXAS Dear Friends: Time is drawing near to our District II meeting to be held in Seaton Star Hall on Sunday, March 26, 1961. I hope that we will have a hundre,d per cent representation. As all of you know, this will be our Easter Day program; so if any of you, boys and girls, wish to earn some points be on the program. We will have some of the local boys and girls but if any of you fromthe other lodges want to be on the program, don't hesitate to say so for we shall put you on gladly. Also, we shall have an Easter egg hunt. There are quite a few rabbits around Star Hall so I am sure they will leave some eggs for you, children, to, hunt.We shall give a prize to the ones who find the prize eggs. Every boy and girl present will receive a chocolate egg.

So be sure to bring your baskets.

In conjunction with our regular business meeting, the SupremeLodge will give fifty-year emblems to all members who have been a member of the Order for 50 years or more. It does not matter to which lodge you belong just so the lodge is in District II. I hope that all of you will be able to come to get your emblem.

Things have brightened up a little around here now that the rains have subsided. Makes a person feel better to look at the farmers working in the fields rather than sitting around the place with long faces.

I wish to congratulate the Jerry Pechal's upon the arrival of a baby girl.

I know they are proud of her and I am sure that is just what they ordered.

This is about all for tonight for I have a bit of other work to attend to.

Don't forget the date March 26, 1961 at Seaton Star Hall. The sisters of the lodge are asked to bring kolache,s, cake, or pie. The lodge will furnish meat for the sandwiches and bread. The lunch be sold for a nominal fee. Everybody come for a good time and don't forget to bring the children or Easter Rabbit will be disappointed.

Sincerely yours, Milton Vrla, Jr. Reporter ) • 4 • LODGE 84, DALLAS, TEXAS Dear Readers: On March 12, 1961 the teenagers of Lodge 84 held their monthly meeting.

The meeting was well attended and the Refreshment committee provided refreshments after the meeting was over.

Also, on March 13, the entertainment committee held a meeting. Plans are now being made for our 5th annual Princess Dance in July.

The teenagers are having a bowling party on March 18, and final plans have been made for a dance in. April and a hayride in May. About two weeks ago I went to visit my uncle Vice-President, Joe B. Hejny, in Temple, Texas. While I was there, he took me and my family on a guided tour of the SPJST Supreme Lodge Headquarters. I never realized how much work goes into making an organization as fine as the SPJST. I never dreamed that there were so many procedures of taking care of insurance policies and keeping them on record. The SPJST is a wonderful organization and I think each and every member should do all they can to keep it that way. I would like to once again thank my Uncle 'for giving me the opportunity to see the SPJST main office. If you ever get a chance to see it, for heaven's sake, don't miss it.

Fraternally yours, (Queen) Juanita Sanousek P.S. I would also like to mention that Jerry Ann Urban won first place in the point system at Lodge 84. Cathy Mameik won second and I won third place • •
