Mnoho mladkch lidi se ihned pokougelo do sboru pkihlasiti.

Poeatkem btezna vydal nyni jit president Kennedy Vkkonne natizeni, jim pave takovkto sbor ziizuje, ac toliko na doeasnem podklade. President poslal sou easne kongresu poselstvi, v nemt kongres tada, aby odhlasoval ztizeni sboru trvaleho. Vyslovil nadeji, te do konce roku bude jiz v zahranidi pracovati 500 at 1.000 americk'ch ptislu gnikti zmineneho sboru.

Jit hodinu po oznameni.doeasneho uskuteeneni navrhu bylo nove zfizene zaplavenu telefonickkmi dotazy zajemca. Tato nedoekavost ptihlasiti se do sboru je tim pozoruhodnej gi, te president ptedem varoval, te tivot "v Mirovem sboru nebude snadnk". Olenove nebudou dostavati skuteenk plat, toliko jistou eastku na tivobyti. Bude jim titi na tete nrovni, na joke tiji obyvatele zeta, do ktere budou vyslani.

Dobrovolnici budou sloutiti dva at tti roky, z nicht prvni tti at Best mesica ztraxi gkolenim ye Spojenkch statech.

Vkcvik ma pozustavati z ,dtikladneho prostudovani americkkch vetejnkch surer nic, z rozvinuti pracovni zruenosti a z obeznameni se s jazykem, kulturou a ponifty v zemi, kde bude stanovi gte dobrovolnika. Mladete budou doprovazeti i stargi, zkugenej gi ptedati.

Hlavnim cilem miroveho sboru ma laSiti zajigteni dodateenkch technickkch sil americkkm vladnim Madam a soukromkm skupinam, ktere hospodarske, lekatske a osvetove akce v zaostalkch zemich. Pro piitomnost bude v gak nejvetgi daraz kladen na dobrovolniky s technickkmi znalostmi na poli vyueovani, zemedelstvi a zdravotnictvi, kteki soudasne umi i pottebnk cizi jazyk.

Rozhodnuti presidenta Kennedyho ziiditi Mirovk sbor je vlastne praktickou odpovedi na otazku, ktera jit drahnou

FROM THE EDITOR.'S DESK vested in the private economy and a substantially smaller proportion in the public area. In Germany, for example, life company assets invested in the government sector dropped from 62 per cent to 28 per cent between 1951 and 1959. Similar trends, though of somewhat smaller magnitudes are foun,d in Sweden, Australia, Canaida, the United Kingdom, and the United States. ) •

LifqL, Insurance Big Factor Against a background of booming industrial production and rising prosperity and living standards in recent years, personal savings have bee,n emerging as a powerful factor in economic progress in principal countries of the democratic world, as has long been the case in the United States.

The revival of savings and the extent of their growth in various countries in the relatively short period after the destructive effect of World War II, have been noted by the Bank for International Settlements in its annual reports in the last few years on world-wide economic trends and developments. It is particularly apparent in the figures on life insurance and its expansion in one country after another during the last ,decade, as presented in statistics gathered by the International Monetary Fund and in other data from individual countries.

These figures show that life insurance ownership and assets of life insurance companies have been showing a substantially bigger rate of growth in a number of countries in the democratic world during recent years than has occurred in the United States. However, it must be recognized that life insurance in the United States, through the years, has had a substantially broader ownership and bigger base than elsewhere, especially as compared with the nations that bore the brunt of war.

What stands out from these trends in life insueance and other savings is the universality of the thrift urge, and the desire of all people everywhere to provide for the future on their own to the extent that they are able, once the indispensable element of confidence is present.

Of particular interest in the comparative life insurance growth trends are the very high rates of expansion in Ja. pan and Germany. In japan, for example, life insurance in force expanded

To All My Young Fricff,tePLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I Fledge 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." eightfold between 1951 and 1959, while assets of Japanese life insurance companies grew almost tenfold in the period.

In Germany, life insurance in force tripled during the last decade while the assets of the German life companies Practically quadrupled. These trend stake on added significance since Germany and Japan faced the Free World's economic growth performance in recent years and have also shown unusually high rates of investment as compared with other countries.

The Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, and Canada, of the countries for which statistics are available, also show higher life insurance growth rates than the United States, when total life insurance in force in legal reserve companies more than doubled in the period between 1951 and 19b9,while combined assets grew by two-thirds.

The company a person keeps has a great deal to do with the character he produces. One's whole life, as well as his social life is helped or hindered by the companionship he habitually chooses.

It is important therefore, for every Christian to choose good friends for his intimate companions and to cultivate only clean and honest fellowship. — No matter who we are or how strong our character may be, all of us are affected by the company we keep.

When once you have chosen and have made friends, prize and guard their 'friendships. Do not be selfish and peevish. Overlook small faults. We all have th on. Do not betray confidences.

Do not let out of your mouth all that has entered your ears and listen to the counsel of wise men on this matter: "A talebearer revealeth secrets, but be that is Of a faithful spirit, concealeth such matters."

A Peace Corps for American Youth In the last days of the election campaign, John F. Kennedy, proposed the creation of a "Peace Corps" of American youth to work in the underdeveloped countries of the world. The response to his proposal was immediate, electric and enthusiastic, especially from young peoplethemselves. Many of them tried to volunteer at once.

derstanding of the problems facing other people and nations, and thus be better able to understand U. S. policies and purposes abroad.

It is evident that President Kennedy's Peace Corps plan articulates a longing and question that have been spreading for some time among many groups, both young and old: "How can the individual American do something positive and affirmative for peace?"

en Charter Members started this Lodge.

Brother Robert Cervenka was one of those eleven and if I'm not mistaken," continued Brother Kacir, "at that time he was only 18 years old; but at that first meeting, he was elected Financial Secretary of this Lodge. The job of Financial Secretary is a responsible job, as you know. Brother Cervenka belonged to West; was here his entire life with the exception when he was away at school and a short period when he worked in Fort Worth.

"In 1999 Brother Cervenka was elected Secretary. At various, times he served as Financial Secretary, Secretary, Vice.

President and President, a total of 36 years out of the 56 years that the Lodge has been in existance. He served as President of this Lodge for the past 24 years and with the year 1981 will give him 50 years service in his Lodge besides serving on various Committees.

"The first Lodge Hall owned by Lodge 54," continued Brother Kacir, "was acquired in 1913. That was acquired by selling shares at $10 each among the members and friends so that the Hall could be purchased. That money was rP paid out of the earnings in that Hall.

That Hall was destroyed by fire in 1922, (insured by sister organization RVOS, giving them a plug). The lodge rented ;space for rioeetings until 1928 when the principal portion of this, the present, building was constructed.

"In 1937 an addition was made and in 1954 the kitchen was added to the building. In 1948 the Lodge purchased parking space, buying six lots. The membership is looking forward to the day when the Lodge can burn its mortgage on the small remaining debt. The Lodge boasts something like 300 members plus the juvenile department." said Brother Kacir.

"In additon to the work he has done as officer of this lodge, Brother Cervenka also has served as Director of the SPJST for 36 years, He is now serving another four-year term which will give bim 40 years in the Supreme Lodge. He also served as City Secretary of West, Texas.

"This all will explain why this lodge decided to have this `blow-out' for him," said Brother Keen:.

Visitors were then called upon to take a bow — starting with Judge Vic Hall, ° County Court of Law, Waco, and a member of Lodge 54; Mayor of the City of West, Brother Joe Holasek, who was not present at the beginning of roll call but came in later; Top Lady Organizer of District Three, Sister Anna Milan of the Fort Worth Lodge 154; brother Ed Mazanec of Lodge No. 66, Waco; and District Three First Vice-President; then

Then Vestnik's Editor, Brother Hosek was introduced. Speaking just a few words in Czech, Brother Hosek launched into his short talk in English for the benefit of those who cannot understand Czech.

"Brothers, sisters and friends," started Editor Hosek, "I have been called upon; to say a few words which I ask you to take home with you. There are some members among us who do more of this fraternal work than most of us. We have to have some men to take care of the business of our nrotherhood.

"It is a big business, running into the millions. It takes men with sound judgement to administer this business of our organization. The money that we have in our coffers, has to be loaned out so it will bring interest which we need to pay all the necessary expenses that our organization has been called upon to support. Now the Office of Director, to which Brother Cervenka has given so much of his time; in praking loans, appraising properties before the loan can be made; (of course, we have an attorney who passes on these loans as to their legal soundness before this money is loaned out; ) still the Director has to go out to appraise the property on which we plan to make these loans. Upon the honesty of these Directors, upon their dependability, upon their sound judgement, rests the whole financial . program Of our brotherhood. I can say that in five years that I have been attending the meetings of our Supreme Lodge, I have watched these Directors, bow they come to a decision on these loans and I can truthfully say; that about Brother Cervenka, that he is always very careful, attentive to everything before these loans are made. r. want to congratulate him today on that fine record. We can all be proud of him. Brother Cervenka as far as I know, in all of his dealings, is honest and can be depended upon. In behalf of his lodge he has always put his best efforts into his work to see that this Lodge is steered right.

"I attend many meetings of our lodges and I am in position to see how these lodges operate, if they are trying to be real brothers and sisters to each other and if they are doing what our By-Laws tell us to do. Here I would like to say that our Third District has been so far in first place among our lodges and I hope that we all will be striving to keep it that way. I hope that this year.

ESTNIK— WEST. TEXAO your reception will be a memorable one for you, Brother Cervenka. I thank you." concluded Editor Hosek, guest speaker for this occasion.

Our Master of Ceremonies then introduced representatives of the RVOS, Brother Jerry Valchar, its President, from Temple.

He congratulated Brother Cervenka on his 50 years in the SPJST, 36 years its Director. "There are only a few of us who will serve for 50 years in any of our organizations," said Brother Valchar. We have known Brother Cervenka for many years; in fact, We are competitors (fire insurance); but we have worked together on many occasions. That is why we have such Organizations as the SPJST, R,VOS, SVPS, KJT, KJZT, etc.," said Brother Valchar, "one protects with its life insurance, the other with fire insurance".

"I wish you many more years of service here and I hope that all of us will be here 50 years from now to help celebrate the occasion here again," laughed Brother Valchar.

We are always glad to y have among us an officer from the Supreme Lodge, stated Brother Kacir. "Especially the man who has charge of the organizers in the sales of life insurance. It is a pleasure to introduce Brother Joe B. Hejny, Vice-President of the Supreme Lodge in Temple."

"I didn't come as a speaker," said Brother Hejny, "just to come among you and congratulate you, Brother Cervenka, for the many, many years of successful work that you have devoted in the Lodge, to the Order. Even those years I have been associated with the Supreme Lodge, only six, I can truthfully say that Brother Cervenka considered the welfare of the SPJST first, to his own well being or to his self interest. have had occasion to go out on some of his appraisals and I can truthfully say that when he went out on such an appraisal, and the time I was with him, he came as a represe ntatives of the SPJST; that is the way he worked. The position of Director in the Supreme Lodge is a very, very responsible position. They are the men who invest the money of our reserve in your policies to earn the certain amount of interest that our policies are set on and unless these Directors fail to do so; our Order would be in deficit and we would lose money, so we back all of our good men, for on these seven Directors who are to make all the investments of the Supreme Lodge; and they have justified our reserve, they have exceeded what is decreed to earn, as decreed by the State of Texas. They have a very serious obligation to the members of the SPJST.

Wednesday, April 5, 1961 Brother Cervenka had the courage to speak out when thinks weren't up to the proper level, when there was any doubt about something; when a Irk who is our superior calls our hand on mistakes, if we make an attempt to correct the wrong, then we are looking for the betterment of our Order. It is a pleasure to work with a fellow worker, with such a man as Brother Robert Cervenka.

"I would like to go just a little further and steer the com,petion of progress and growth of our SPJST. I covered the investment part — those boys are doing a wonderful job." said Brother "We need an increase in membership," continued, Brother Hejny, "There are only one out of ten homes that will probably ever burn — yet we will all die. It is our obligation that we will not leave our famiies in want. He then proceeded to talk about the Youth in our Order. "We have wonderful youngsters in many lodges and this is one of them. Thanks again to Brother Cervenka who has been a great supporter of the Youth work; he has always worked with the sisters and brothers; this is something that I can appreciate, possibly more than any other person in the state of Texas. Again I want to congratulate Borther Cervenka," concluded Brother Hejny.

The Mcee then introduced two officers from Dallas, — officers of the SUPS: — the other fire insurance company, Brothers Will Nesuda and Hugo Schefeak.

Then our Lovely District Three Youth Leader, Sister Emma Ceska took the mike to talk about coming events in the Third District, explaining some points in the various events. She complimented Brother Cervenka for his cooperation in the Youth, phase of the work; and Brother N'ejny for his work, outlines etc. in the District Youth. Programs.

Sister Ceska reminded us that the Spring Meeting which will be held at Elk, will also hold the Election of Officers; plans for the Youth Activity Day which has been set for June '25th will be explained at the Meeting. We will have to determine the place, also the activity," stated Sister Ceska. "Shall we have sports events, etc., those are the things we would like, to hear from you and get your ideas. Regarding the Princess Contest: this year we are going a step further in that we must reach the lower age levels. So, for that reason we are starting now and are going to select a Princess which we shall call a Duchess to identify them. It does give them something *. look forward to; to work with the pa., &its, organizers, etcetera," stated Sister Ceska. "The mothers are contacted as

Wednesday, April 5, 1961 well as the Mother Lodge: all insurance sold from March 1st through April 31st, will count. Every four Organizers in a odge are to sponsor two Princesses and owo Duchesses. All the Districts in Texas will be working along the same pattern, which is good. On September 24th we will have a State Talent Event, held' in Taylor. With our beautiful lodge home that we have, it is to our advantage to expand and use our halls as often and to the best advantage. Turning to Brother Cervenka, Sister Ceska then said: "I wish you health and iany good years ahead."

Supreme Lodge President, Edward L. Tdarek sent his regrets at not being able to be present. He was representing our Order at a District Meeting.

Brother Kacir then introduced Brother Cervenka's family; his children present and his grandchildren which are his pride and joy. How he did beam.

Taking the microphone, Brother Cervenka stated: "This has been the greatest day of my life."

Brother Cervenka then complimented Brother Kacir, our Master of Ceremonies on his fourth election as Chairman of the Convention, saying that he has held the chair for four consecutive tunes, and congratulated' im on helping us to have a fine convention.

"I am glad that you came, friends, visitors, brothers and sisters, and I hope that each of you will return home safely and in good spirits. I think refreshments are already on the way. Let's go to prime them."

Brother Kacir, then invited everyone to visit after the meeting, stating that refreshments were to be served.

Broher Cervenka, introducd the three Youth Leaders of Jaromir 54, who have been working so diligently together since June of last year when the Youth Club was started: Sisters: Frankie Mikeska, Estelle Marek and Helen Cepak, who took a bow.

Brother Kacir then took the mike and stated: "Again I want to thank all of you for coning out and making this occasion a success. We shall have some music and in the meantime make yourselves at home, have a good time, do wi, atever you wish, and do come back and see us again. Congratulations, Brother Cervenka." said Brother Kacir, thus ending the program.

Brother V. Pavlas and his musicians then set up shop on the stage and struck out with some entertaining polkas, waltzes etc.

The good sisters of Jaromir then innted us to refreshments of sandwiches, pastries and silver service coffee, to enjoy at the attractively decorated tables

Some visited while others danced, but everyone had a very nice time at this reception and for that matter, birthday of our honoree, who will observe his three score and fifteen in the coming week.

Happy I3irthday,Brother Cervenka!

The Editor and wife, join in the best wishes of the rest of the brotherhood, for Brother Cervenka, it was a memorable day in his life; one of which he is most deserving for his untiring efforts in behalf of our Order; and it was a very brotherly thing to do for a brother, by the rest of the Lodge orembership. You are a bunch of good people — the greatest. Bless you! ) • 4„ SPJST TO.

Regarding Polka Dance Calendar Rogers, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: It was announced in the February 22 Vestnik that the SPJST Publications Committee had decided to discontinue the Polka Dance Calendar (PDC) because "it is not a service to our membership' 'Although I did not agree with the decision of the Publications Committee I did not question their right to make such a decision and decided not to appeal the matter unless there was a genuine and widespread , expression fro. our membership that PDC "was a service to the members" and should be resumed.

Since the announcement was made, I have received co-nsicieraLte assurance from many members, including a petition from San Antonio SPJS .r.0 Lodge 133, stating their belief that PDC was a service to our members and should be continued.

I thank these members for the assurance they have given me, but I would like to have the viewpoints of additional members concerning this 'ratter before making any appeal. Therefore if you feel that PDC is a service to our members and would like for me to appeal the matter to the Publications Committee, please write me your views. Expressions of views to the contrary also will be welcomed and considered.

Please consider this matter individually' and/or in your lodge meetings and send your views directly to me instead Of the Vestnik. There is no need to start a controversy concerning the matter in the Vestnik. I am confident that the Publications Committee would act favorable on an appeal containing all the facts relavent to the matter; but I will not make such an appeal unless I have a still greater expression of interest in the resumption of PDC from the membership.

In the meantime. I hope you will continue sending in your dance dates to our Editor, Brother Hosek, for publication in the Vestnik.

Fraternally, Calvin C. Chervenka • • Louise, Texas Dear Brother Editor: Brother Chervenka states in his lett' the following: "There is no need to sta... a controversy concerning the matter in, the columns of the Vestnik." And that

is exactly what he is doing if we permit his letter to be published. However to defend the publication committee for sir action in eliminating the PDC, I 6.4ggest that you do publish his letter and *under his letter, publish the statement below: 1st — The reason for discorri,inuing the Polka Dance Calendar is: It is free advertising to outsiders and individuals who are in direct competition with our Lodges and Dance Halls.

2nd — All SPJST Lodges and Dance Halls are free to announce their dances and programs in the Vestnik without charge by mailing their notices directly to the Editor, Mr. L. 0. Hosek, West, Texas.

3rd — Dances to the public are social, but business to the Hall owners and protaoters. If they should get free advertising, then why not include other businesses, professional men, politicians, etc.

4th — Probably, the reason ;-he San Antonio SPJST Lodge 133 mailed a petition to Brother Chervenka, was, that they were not informed that they can continue to make their announcements in the Vestnik without charge to them.

CZECH CHORAL GROUP OF LODGE NO. 84 DALLAS Dear Members: Our last rehearsal was well attended -1:d all present enjoyed the evening .ery much. Proof of this stems from the fact that even after our director, Brother Frank Henzen, "signed off" for the night, a large group of the members lingered around to continue singing until the clock struck "twelve."

We want to take this apportunity to thank Brother and Sister Willie J. Re j -cekforbing therapcodert the last two rehearsals. Only by taping the various songs can we recognize our mistakes and we are glad to say that last Friday's taping was a great improvement over our previous recording.

Director Frank Henzen introduced us to an arrangement of Tece Voda Tece, a song that many of our parents remembered singing as children back in Czechoslovakia. With a little effort and patience, we may be able to master this song in due time.

Our choral group always enjoys singing to an audience and we were especially honored at our last rehearsal to have out of town guests all the way from Ennis, Texas, Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Chmelar and Ernest Lee Skrivanek drive the distance to join the few Dallas people and thus was formed our audience.

Our next rehearsal will have to be on Wednesday, April 5, as our regular Friday .date has been given to a Special Dance for the benefit of the SPJST Youth Camp Fund.

So please remember the rehearsal on Wednesday April 5 and also the Kid Dance on Friday April 7.

Our director, Brother Henzen plans to start the rehearsal on time so that we might possibly quit a little earlier because of school children envolved.

Hoping to see you at both of these events, I remain Fraternally, Lillie Jarma, Secty.

Both these contests, to be successful, require understanding and full cooperation of each individual member, not only of Youth Leaders and Organizers. To make everything clear as to the rules and regulations of the contest, Brother Joe B. Hejny called two special meetings, i.e. one on February 25, at Lodge "Rozkvet Zapadu" No. 107 for Youth Leaders and Organizers in Floresville and vicinity, and the other on March 4 at Lodge "Anton Cermak" No. 56 for Youth leaders and organizers from Corpus Christi and vicinity. am very grateful to Brother Hejny for taking his time and presiding the meeting at Floresville, and am very sorry he was unable to come to Corpus Christi.

We all missed him very much. Both Brother Kleprlik, District Organizer, and myself tried our best to explain everything to avoid any possible misunderstanding and mistake. We had a very 'good audience, and it was nice to see besides youth leaders and organizers also other members and visitors. Who didn't come to the meeting in Corpus Christi missed very much, especially the big delicious supper prepared by the good sisters of Lodge No. 56 and 79. It was plenty of everything left, because they expected a bigger attendance. Once again, dear sisters, many thanks for everything, I know that it took much of your time to make such good things.

Now, sisters and brothers, it means to lend your helping hands and do a good job. I hope that all those who were present at the meeting will explain to other members the meaning and purpose of the contests, to get as many contestants as possible. This again is team work. We all must work together for the good Of our lodges, our district and the whole SPJST. Should you need any additional information or assistance during these contests, please let me know, I will be glad to help you. To' all of you I wish a good work and full success.

LODGE 35 ELK Attention Young Fellows of Lodge 35: It seems to me you fellows don't have anything to do around our lodge foi recreation. I have a splendid idea for you if you will please come to our next lodge meeting. I would be interested in playing softball or baseball. Either one is a wonderful sport perhaps some or most of you play in school.

I am going to talk to one of my good friends and see if he will be interested in helping us out in coaching and other hints that could be helpful.

Btrana 25 The young ladies have themselves a project to work on, so let's see if we can't find something that we can do to 'help our fathers, uncles and granddads make our lodge a fine place to enjoy ourselves.

When I was a boy we didn't have a youth organization at our lodge, but, now we have. I hope you will really turn out for our next r.rieeting. Fellows this will be a fine opportunity for you please come and speak up for yourselves, who knows, we might have a Babe Ruth right here in our midst. I hope to see you on the eleventh of April.

Today Spring Clean-Up has been broadened to include programs of fire prevention education and sprucing up of the entire community. Participants are urged not only to dispose of litter col-

Wednesday, April 5, 1961 lecte,d in cellars and attics, but also backyards, empty lots, alleys, streets, parks„ shopping centers and business districts. Both public and private proerty get the cleanup treatment under the leadership of citizens' committees and public officials. Everyone in the canmunity benefits from Spring Clean-Up. It not only makes a town a more attractive place to live in, but also, through the clean-up of rubble, helps to prevent the tragic loss by fire of life and property.

Across the country, homeowners are in the midst of Spring House Cleaning, throwing out rubbish and waste that accumulated during the winter,, andsprucing up their yards.

Many householders are re-decorating inside and painting outside.

The records show that making things spit and span in the Spring has become an American tradition.

It was nearly a half century ago that the first organized community campaigns for Spring Clean-Up were conducted in the Middle West. Their original purpose was to rid iaomes and yards of litter, but many also undertook programs of fire prevention education and home and community beautification.

Facal points of the Clean-Up were cellars, attics, backyards, vacant lots, alleys, streets, and parks.

Some conamunities in fact were so pleased with the Spring Clean-Up results that they made civic neatness a continuing year-round campaign.

The National Board of Fire Underwriters, a long time endorser of Spring Clean-Up each year, reminds homeowners that throwing out waste and rubmish not only makes a home more at.. tractive but also contributes to home fire safety.

Fires last year in the United States caused, property damage of over $1 billion dollars and snuffed out over 11,000 lives. Since 1954, close to 300,000 homes have been struck by fire every year.

Spring Clean-Up Week provides an op• portunity for householders to throw out combustible trash on which fires can feed.

Toe National Board reminds that three out of every four fires is the result of human carelessness or forgetfulness.

Be a good citizen: Don't forget to do your part in promoting fire safety by cleaning up your home. ,„?„ • One of the strangest animals known to man is the okapi, first discovered in 1901 in the Congo.
