FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Mortality ilate Rose Record Attendance At District Three Meeting Slightly in Past Year The Spring Meeting of District Three. held at Lodge No. 35 Elk, Texas, on April 23, witnessed a record crowd for District Three. All lodges in the District with the exception of three, were present to participate in honoring the Third District Fifty-Year-Member Honorees.

A brief skit by the Youth Club of Elk No. 35, opened the afternoon meeting, which was highlighted by a thirty-member Choral Club from Lodge No. 84 of Dallas, under the baton of talented Bro. Frank Henzen to recognize the 50-Year Honorees with beloved Czech songs.

Two Chartered busses from Lodge 84, brought the songsters to Elk, together with their Teen-Age Club members to enrich the District Three Program.

All District officers were re-elected to their respective offices with the exception of the District Three Youth Leader Emma Ceska and her faithful Assistant Youth Leader, Sister Bessie Petr, who declined re-election. Lovely Sister Wilma Nesuda of Lodge No. 25. of Ennis was elected District Three Youth Leader by the District, pending acceptance by the Supreme Lodge Youth Work Director.

The Youth campaigning for their District Youth Camp, swelled the Camp Kitty by voluntary contributions. Many, Enany thanks to all.

The Good sisters of Lodge 35 Elk, served that huge crowd a most delicious meal, with dispatch and grace, and the fellowship, the visiting and friendly gathering was a most beautiful sight to behold. Many thanks and compliments to all and we mean ALL from Lodge 84 for their everlasting loyalty and cooperation.

See next week's Vestnik for a more detailed report on this outstanding District Three event, and for scenes taken at this meeting, to be presented as soon as cuts are made of the photographs.

Watch for them!

District President, Brother Frank Olexa, called the Meeting to order at 11 a.m. and opened the Meeting with a Pledge to the Flag in which the large audience assembled participated. A standing crowd paid mute tribute to those members who have left our ranks since the last District Meeting., Host Lodge President, Brother Charles Macek, welcomed everyone to Needville and to Lodge No. 81, a,nd wished the District a successful meeting on that beautiful Sunday.

Lovely Sister Wernet, of the newly organized Youth Club of Lodge 81, also welcomed the brotherhood and visitors present to her Lodge, and conveyed congratulatulatory remarks to the huge group of 50-year-pin awardees present as "founders of the SPJST." Then District President Olexa, welcomed the members of District Five, the visitors and hoped that they would all have an enjoyable day spent in the midst of the brotherhood. He repeated the same thoughts in the Czech language for the benefit of those who have difficulty in understanding the English proceedings fully. He then introduced the Supreme Lodge officers, and membership from distant lodges and districts and out of state visitors.

Supreme Lodge Vice-President, Bro. ther Joe B. Hejny, opened the speaking section in Czech with his conveying regrets from, Brother Marek for not being present, Supreme Lodge President, who was conducting a funeral that day in the Bryan , Lodge. Brother Hejny stated that the Supreme Lodge is working hard and harmoniously to keep the work of the Fraternal Order on its present high level,

VESTNIKâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; WEST, TEXAS stating that we are ahead of last year's record, in new membership at this time.

Then followed. Brother Raymond Urbanovsky, Supreme Lodge Secretary, speaking in English also stating it was a pleasure to be in District, Five, commenting that "we did get a beautiful day for this meeting." Brother Urbanovsky complimented District Five for being in the lead in insurance sales. Speaking of Youth Clubs, Brother Urbanovsky stated, "You will always notice that lodges that have active Youth Clubs are always in the lead. Whenever you get a club organized and active, it is always in the lead." He then gave the meeting a brief rundown of the statistics to substantiate asserted growths. He also asserted that we still some 1500 members who have been in our Order for 50 years or more.

Speaking of those 50 - year members, Brother Urbanovsky stated: "Those members have put in lots of work and effort, if it, wasn't for them, this Order would not be in the shap it is today," and he congratulated those Fifty Year Honorees present at the Meeting on their fine job.

Brother Ben Zabcik, Supreme Lodge Financial Secretary, speaking in English congratulated the members who were to receive their 50-year pins today, and on the fine crowd present to witness this meeting with its program and youth program.

Wednesday, April 26, 1961 couraged the "young folks" to write to the Vestnik to keep the interest up to even a higher keel than it has been before.

Then speaking in Czech, Brother Hosek stated that we had to work to get ahead and stated that our organizers are good but they must spread out the SPJST thinking. "When we know of someone who does not have insurance; we should tell our organizers about it: I would like to see our membership double itself. Our officers are consistently working so that our harmony is not disturbed. If we want to instill confidence in our Youth we have to work together harmoniously; be friar* that we leave this Needville Community strengthened, in friendship and that we will remember each other and look to our next meeting.

Roll call revealed a fifty per cent lodge representation of this District and also, that of the seven districts in our Order, six were represented at this meeting, which is something of a record.

Next in line for the speaker's spot was Brother Sid. Pokladnik of Dallas, who Conveyed greetings from District Three to this District. He gave aquick resume of how these Districts were organized and how through competitions and challenges and counter challenges, these two districts grew to know one another to make lasting friendship and promote healthy and enviable growth for the Order. "Today we are one big family" stressed! Brother Poklad,nik. "Keep the work going and it will become a part of Vs, follow the Golden Rule in your brotherhood. These gentlemen (referring to the Supreme Lodge Officers) are work-

Brother Johnnie Hrabina of Ennis, besides being happy to be here ',declined to address the gathering.

Brother Ed Sralla, District Six Director, had justarrived and was called upon to express himself. Brother Sralla cocuglimented the attendance in District Five.

"I certainly enjoyed the kind and ap7 proving words of Brother Pokladnik: think they were outstanding. To me," continued Brother Sralla "a District Meeting is like a Family Reunion. Our SPJST is one great family, and these meetings appear as ¶family reunions.

Could you think of a more happy family than this where officers of the Districts, Lodges and the Supreme Lodge level can meet and I certainly think our District Meetings are a success and that we have benefitted hy them. I do want to say once again that it is a pleasure that I could take a small part in the District Five Meeting to wish you continued success in the state; I know that you are batting hard; and wish you well for what you do for the Order and at this opportunity, I would like to bring greetings from District Six and invite you to our District Six Meetng which will be held on May 7th at Hallettsviile, Texas.

District Five Organizer, Jarda Cerny, speaking in Czech — saying that what he wanted to present for consideration had to be correct, so he wrote down his talk. This was his first opportunity to talk to the members since he was appointed Organizer for the District. He thanked everyone for their cooperation, encouraging words. He pledged his best efforts, and complimented his predecessor, Brother J. M. Skraba.nek on his outstanding record which he admits will take "something" to come up to this record.

With the excepttion of two, who were s eated in the audience, Vestnik presents its readers with the Fifty-Year Honorees, who were present at the Spring eeting of District Five, held on April 16, at Ledge' No. 81 in Needville, Texas.

Of the more than a hundred members, whose names were called, the above members were the ones able to wake the Meeting, to receive the standing ovation in their honor in, recognition for their work for the Order in the fifty years or more that they have been members in District Five, SP.IS.F. We are sorry we do not have their names as they are seated, but conditions are not always favorable to taking pictures and"getting names during a Meeting when the picture taking process interrupts the meeting in session. They were honored on this beautiful day, and they all seemed to appreciate the "fuss" made over being able to come out and, of the faithful and untiring work in the SPJST. As many of the speakers acknowledged, "If you had not persevered, w e would f. rD A WA'. .!, to the gathering by Brother Olexa, Dis- not be here today." It was a momentous occasion, cherished by the .kourees for trict Five President, as well as our lovely the rest of their lives, and by the Order, for the rest of its existence, for they were the FIRST CROUP of 50-year Members thusly honored; regardless of how sister's mother.

"I would like to say that I am glad to many other groups are honored in the years to come, the First Group always resee everybody again," said Sister San- mains in one's memory. God Bless Them, one and all.

phases of the War and after the War, unrecorded — in which the Czechs then in Texas played an important part in putting the south back on its feet. He stated that with their hard work, thrift, and professions they fed; an helped build the south back up again and that we the descendents of these Czechs should feel justly proud of them. For a first speech, Brother Cerny, it was wonderful!

Brother Olexa then adjourned the Meeting for lunch, which the good sisters and hostesses had ready for us and the long, long line of hungry folks were ready and willing to help them dispose of all that delicious food.

The afternoon meeting began at 2:15 p.m. when everyone was well fed and happy to settle down for the afternoon program.

All of the Fifty-Year. Honorees of District Five were assembled at a table up front for the picture taking for Vestnik's readers.

In saluting them, Brother Olexa stated, "It is not possible to repay them for all that they have done, but in a small measure, to thank them for what they did for us, we would like to give them a big hand. To a standing ovation, the applauding membership turned their smiles to these old folks who were moved beyond words. It was a touching moment.

Sisters: Birdie HilSher, Della Kadlecek, Norma Helmcamp and Frances Olexa, were requested to pin the 50-year pins on the honorees as their names were called. Many of the so honored members from District Five were not present, some not able to travel. Pins Will be brought to them through their respective lodge officers who were present.

As Brother Raymond Urbanovsky read the names of District 50-year members, the above named sisters pinned their pins to their clothes.

Adolf Smotek Brother Hejny then stated, "As you know, this is a very significant work in our Order as our brother Organizer Jerry Cerny said; our pioneers who came here and built their homes in the midst of early Texans and under many hardships, such that we cannot ever imagine; and that there was one reason why our Order was organized so that our brothers and sisters could help one another in times of need, they worked, fought, supported and helped — these are the ones who worked for our Fraternal Order, worked whenever possible. In behalf of our Supreme Lodge I extend to them: our sincere thanks, so that in our generation, we can go forward. As you know, when this Order was founded there were 872 members who promised themselves that they would support and help each other.

Today we have 39 thousand and we hope that we can continue to work as these members did.

"I remember," continued Brother Hejny. "as a small boy we rode in a hack — how We looked forward all week and even all month to getting together— to attend our monthly meeting. That looking forward: it was an opportunity to meet with our friends; our sisters and brothers. I was young at that time. I remember well how it worked and I am glad that my father saw to it that we

Wednesday, April 26, 1961 attended. Today, we honor these members who were in our Order fifty years or more, and at the same time recognize our younger members who work with our Youth to make this Order grow and go forward. We thank all of you for attending and wish you much success," concluded Brother Hejny.

Brother Olexa then invited the Honoees to assemble together to make their acquaintance with anyone who they did not know in this group in District Five.

Brother Olexa championed for the perpetpation of onr Czech Language and traditions among uur younger members as long as, possible.

Brother ignac Senkyrik, District Six, was then introduced by Brother Olexa, to take a bow. Brother Gajevsky spoke briefly and took a bow.

Our lovely District Five Youth Leader, Sister Maxine Shefcik, then gave her report to the membership, listing the coming events in her District and stated

SISTER MAXINE SHEFCIK that it would be published in the Vestnik for District Five members information.

She too, congratulated the Honorees who had just received their 50-year pins.

Brother Amos Kadlecek, District Five Secretary. read the minutes of the last meeting which were accepted as read.

District Five First and Second Vice Presidents gave their Reports, as did the Secretary and Treasurer.

Then followed the election of officers.

Brother Olexa explained the system of progression of officers which was set up in the last District election, where the First Vice President would become President, etc. but added that nominations were acceptable from the floor.

Brother Charles Cerny was elected President of District Five, having stepped up from the First Vice-Presidency;

VES N K — WEST, TEXAS !followed by Brother Albert Franek, as First Vice-President from Second VicePresident; Brother Ernest Hanka was nominated from the floor and elected to fill Brother Franek's place as Second Vice President, and Brother Amos Kadlecek was re-elected District Five Secretary; Brother Tom .n.ostak, also re-elected as District Five Treasurer.

Sister Maxine Shefcik was re-elected District Five Youth Leader.

The newly elected officers were instructed to set the time and place of the next District Meeting — to be published in the Vestnik. The Meeting adjourned for the Youth Program.

Then followed the 'Youth Program, with Sister Shefcik MCing the program.

Lovely Miss SPJST, assisted her when needed.

Sister Shefcik promised to write up the program, giving numbers and names of the performing youngsters to do justice to their efforts. They performed like little troupers to an adoring audience of relatives, friends and visitors. Years seem to fall off one's shoulders in watching these energetic young people entertain. District Five is to be congratulated.

It was a long journey for your Editor, but one well worth while, visiting friends and old neighbors in the Needville corn' munity, and it is especially gratifying to know that the Needville Lodge has a Youth Club organized and wish for them I years and years of success under the guidance of their Youth Leader and their talented and patient District Youth Director. As stated above, the day was exceptionally beautiful, the crowd wonderful, genuine fellowship and brotherly love abounded everywhere. Bless you all!

From Houston, Texas, Mr. and Mrs. •ohn Sindell and Mr. and Mrs, Bill Petrzelka and children were also in our midst on the above occasion.

This special number will consist of 36 individuals, that will be madeup of men and women, Junior boys and ,girls representing all the Sokol units of Texas. At the Sokol Slet in Chicago in June, this special number will be presented in tribute to Brother Joe Kos.

All the boys' classes were given the Junor Physical Fitness Proficiency test recently, and the physical director, Jerry Milan, is happy to report that all the boys passed their tests.

Here I come again, and hope our Editor Mr. Hosek will find a space for my letter. He hasn't turned me down yet.

Now I must write about our Meeting which was held April 16th at 2:30 p.m.

I attended the adult Meeting first; I mean we all did. Then our Youth Meeting was held next. We had a short tr.,eeting this time as our Leader, Mrs. Libbie Parma got us a pretty good line up. We all have to behave and do what she wanted us to do. Now we have a "Project" --- to sell second band clothing; something that is useful to others. I think we are doing good. The money goes to our Youth Fund. We are going to use it for our "Good Times" like wiener roasts, swimusing, parties and we are ;going for a hay ride at Ed Maza-nec Sr.'s Ranch after school sometime. All of this was brought up at our Youth Meeting.

After the meeting we all had a good supper. I know everybody enjoyed it Then we all went out to play baseball. we have a nice ball field for ball playing.

I know that everyone of us had a big time. Some of our fathers joined the ball game — that was real fun.

Our next meeting will be on May 21st. hope to see all of you members at our next meeting.

Fraternally, Helen Kolenovsky )•• Waco, Texas Dear Brother Editor: I would like to say thank you for all that you are doing for our Youth Clubs in our state. I think you are great and 3o is your wife, because you are working for our Youth.

I enjoy coming to our meetin g and listen to your encouraging speeches. — The meeting in Elk was very 'interesting and I am sure you will give us a fine 'report on this District Meeting as usual in our next Vestnik. We are looking forward to reading it.

Yours truly, Jean Spence LODGE NO. 88 HOUSTON, TEXAS Dear MeMbers and Friends: The District Five meeting has now come history and I airi sure that everyone who attended the meeting enjoyed it to the fullest extent. The meeting was most pleasant and the program in the afternoon was a tremendous success due

Strana 26 to the efforts of our District Youth Director Sister Maxine Sefeik.

But through all the laughter and fun, there was one smiling face that I missed and so did plenty of others and that was the face of Brother Frank Kucera. Unfortunately, Brother Kucera had to go to the hospital on account of illness and could not be among us, although I am sure he was thinking of us that day Many people asked about Brother Kiicera and wanted to know his address in San Antonio so that they could visit him, and send him cards. His address while convalescing is:: Retired M/Sgt. Frank E. Kucera Box 1559, Ward 9A USAF Lackland Air Force Base, Texas It is my sincere wish and that of many others that Brother Kucera is soon well and able to be among us once again with his smiling face because we all miss him.

Strana, 27 proclaimed by the Game and Fish Commission.

An overabundance of squirrels caused biologist John Carlisle to recommend this special spring shooting season. Public hearings were held in the three couties in March, at which time landowners requested an open season. It was pointed out in a report to the Game and Fish Commission that the squirrel population in some areas, amounts to as much as one squirrel for every half acre.

With this overabundance of squirrels, it was deemed best to hold an early shoot and harvest enough squirrels so that a heavy loss from other causes will be unlikely.

The limit will be 10 squirrels per day, or 20 in possession after the first day.

A number of old-tirDe squirrel hunters of the area are already planning to set up camp in all the river bottom areas where the squirrels are most prevalent.

The Commission also• voted to close all public waters against nets and seines in Fannin County.

Austin — Action on the Texas coast is ,described in the April issue of "Texas Game and Fish" magazine, in an article entitled "Red Raiders of Padre Island."

The article deals with red fishing in the surf waters along the southern coast line of Texas.

"To meet bull reds on an equal footing, surf casters have learned a few tricks that make the job easier for them," according to Author Gus Getner.

He is a constant fisherman along the south coast.

"For instance, we have found fourwheel drive jeeps and powerful motored trucks are a must to penetrate the treacherous shell banks along the beach.

These vehicles carry everything from shovels ands stoves to bunk spaces and ice boxes. In addition, they carry extra food and gasoline supplies in case of emergency.

"A tip worth remembering is that a typical Padre Island surfer carries two types of fishing outfits. One is a salt water spin rod and Teel for spooning the bars, and another is a sturdy conventional surf rod and reel for mullet fishing on the bottom. These surf rods, in the 12 or 13 foot class, are made of tough Calcutta bamboo and can absorb the punishment of long casts and big fish. Mounted on these rods are regular surf reels filled with 40 to 72 pound line."

COURT RULES PROTECT RIGHTS AND INSURE FAIR TRIALS Many people see court procedure as a mere tool of delay, of concern chiefly to lawyers and judges; but court rules are real tools of justice.

The law is made up of two parts — the "substantive" and the "procedural" law. The first defines rights, duties and remedies. It enforces contracts and rights wrongs. It describes crimes and sets up punishments. People can see its worth. Procedural law tells what steps to take to put substantive law to work for us.

Some of our most vital rights live in procedural law . A day in court means more than the right to have your say before a judge and jury. It means your right to be well represented before an impartial judge and j ury, to have time to prepare for your trial. It means that you get due notice of the action aginst you: that the complaint or indictment shall state a clear cause of action. Due process of law means that you shall meet your accusers face to face* to cross-examine them. It means that you can present evidence in your own behalf.

The law of procedure tells you how to appeal your case to higher courts when you feel that you have not had a fair trial.

Procedural law comes down to us from years of experience in the courts of many lands. Through the centuries procedure tends to become cumbersome, but it has had great periods of reform.

In America, we have many good changes in our court procedure. In the United States, we tend to give our courts the power to change rules.

Throughout its history, the State Bar has helped to study and improve court rules. The aim is a simple set of rules to do justice with speed, uniformity and fairness.

Wednesday, April 26, 1961 ALONG THE BORDER America takes pride in its centurylong friendship with Canada. The man who was responsible for the happy neighbor on the north was Richard Rush. Probably most of us have not ,n heard of him. ,.'he War of 1812 between England and America was over. There were still many angry feelings everywhere. There was talk of a "Maginot Line." Two men, one from Canada, Mr. Bagot, and one from America, Mr. Rush, met to find the best way to be good neighbors.

Mr. Bagot said: "We'll build a row of forts along the border. And where the Countries are separated by the Great Lakes we will have gunboats everywhere.

Then we will be sure that the war really stops."

Mr. Rush, our assistant secretary of state, replied: "I thing you are wrong.

If your country puts soldiers and forth and gunboats along the border, my country will do the same thing. Having solrs so near each other will surely lead fighting, especially now, when everyone is still angry and where there is so much hate in people's hearts."

"But what else can we do?" asked Mr. Bagot.

"Suppose instead we were to take away every single soldier," suggested Mr. Rush. "Suppose we had no forts and no gunboats at all."

"But I never heard of such an idea!" exclaimed Mr. Bagot. "An unarmed border! Nobody ever tried that before.

Would your country be willing to do it?"

"I don't know" ad•Ditted Mr. Rush.

"But isn't it worth trying?"

So Rush and Bagot got to work. The ly and navy officials were opposed to . plan. There were many meetings, Secret and open. They explained the plan to their peoples. To the peoples of both countries it sounded good. At last both nations agreed to try it And it did work. This all .happened over a hundred years ago. The longest border in the world between two former enemies was without a fort, soldier, or gunboat; they have lived tokether as friendly neighbors, though they have had their share of disagreements and misunderstandings. The whole story of how Richard Rush worked toward this end against high opposition, and of his final success, is one of the great stories in American diplomacy and, statesmanship.
