FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Memorial Day„ May

Kennedy's proclaIrtation said the high courage and the supreme sacrifice of Americans who gave their lives in battle have made it possible for our land to flourish under freedom and justice.

He said "the same principles and revolutionary beliefs for which our forebearers fought and died are still at issue in the world and, the challenge against them can be met only through the same qualities of courage, strength and unflinching determination shown by our noble dead."

•( )•

One of the most significant and beautiful occasions of the year is Memorial Day. It is on this day that we pay trib ute to those who gave their lives, as dear to them as ours to us, for a patriotic cause. At this season, when nature is joyful with life, we do honor to the memory of those we love.

Over 98 years elapsed since the opening of the first act of a moving, memorable l drama — a drama recollected today by millions and honored by this revived holiday. Years ago when guns began to thunder at Fort Sumter and the Republic was shaken by the reverberation.

That shock was a sign that the Republic is readying for the biggest, most horrible struggle in the annals of mankind. A struggle that aimed neither at expansion of its rich, fertile acres, nor at the repulsion of an enemy . There was no threat aimed at the boundaries of the land. The American flag, soaring to the highest peak of our nation of a true, civilization, caused the admiration of the whole world. Our citizenry was diligent. Through our natural resources we reached a state of well-being that surpassed all the estates and jewels, and all of the mansions and palaces elsewhere in the world.

It was a civil war, in which brother fought against brother. After four years of this struggle, which turned the greater part of the land into ruins and the g reen meadows crimson with hot human blood, this war came to an end, when General Lee surrendered to General Grant. The arms were laid down and the flags lowered. Camps became quiet.

Heroes were returning to their deserted homes, leaving behind, on the whole battlefield thousands of their comrades in common graves and hollows in their last and everlasting embrace.

Memorial Day, or Decoration Day, as it was popularly called for many years, is formally observed since 1868. However the graves of the soldiers who lost their lives in the Civil War had been decorated with flowers before that year.

Especially so in the South. It was the women of those war years who initiated

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." this expression of ,sentiment. And so on this Memorable Day we want to thankfully remind all the "Mothers of the North and South," who did not hesitate to lay on the altar of the country their most precious jewels — their sons. We also piously bow our heads, on this day of reconcilliation, over the graves of all those national heroes, who sacrificed their lives for liberty and freedom.

We also want to remember all those who lost their lives in the SpanishAmerican War, which was fought for regeneration of the sister-republic of Cuba. Frain their far away graves there emanates a flame of love for all mankind.

In the first World War 32 countries and nations fought either for supremacy or in self-defense. It was on August first, 1914, when the horrible bloodshed started. And the memory of the dreadful conflict of World War II and the Korean Conflict are vividly fresh in our minds today . President Kennedy has urged the American people to observe Memorial Day "by praying for a new world of law where peace and justice shall prevail."

He also urged the people to invoke the blessing of God on those who have died in defense of our country.

Local R.V.O.S. Lodges of West Area Observe 60th Anniversary With principal speakers form the RVOS headquarters in Temple, Texas, Lodges 45, 47, 48, and 78 jointly observed the Sixtieth Anniversary of the founding of the RVOS (Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance) Sunday, May 21st, at Star Hall home of the SPJST Lodge Jaromir No. 54 in West, Texas.

and naval burial plots. Wherever there is an American military post or naval vessel, flags will be flown at half-mast and a 21-gun salute fired,. Flowers will be cast on the water to honor men lost at sea.

Memorial Day — or Decoration Day, as it is sometimes called — began after the Civil War, when Southern women in Vicksburg and Columbus, Mississippi, and in Charleston, South Carolina, decorated Union as well as Confederate graves.

Northerners responded with the same warm gesture, until throughout the land the first flowers of summer were spread reverently over the last resting places of American soldiers in organized community ceremonies.

When Major General John A, Logan became commander of the post-war Grand Army of the Republic, he issued on May 5, 1368, his famous order "that every post of the Grand Army should hold suitable exercises and decorate the graves of their dead comrades with flowers.

Memo To Our Youth Club Correspondents Recently a number of you wonderful young people have been sending in your Youth Club Reports on bits of scrap paper, backs of blank checks, 3x5 filing cards, etc.

May we point out that it, is very diffieult to set up letters from these scraps, they are not uniform, hard to read — in general take a lot of time, cause a lot of trouble for our operators and are not in good taste.

In school you've been taught to use 8x11 1/2 sheets of paper for letters which

Strana 13 is dignified and command respect for the letter an.d writer: You are taught to indent your paragraphs, write in ink, in a legible hand and with a left hand margin on your letter.

Let's use these above taught rules of nice letter writing in our Reports, double spacing them so that your Editor can make corrections between lines.

Also, if you have an unusual spelling in your name, in signing your letter, please (print in parenthesis) the unusual spelling and save yourself embarrassment in seeing your name misspelled. Misspelled words will be corrected for you by your Editor as will flagrant grammatical errors. All Reports and letters must be signed to be published.

Now is a good time to form good habits in letter writing, for your letter is a picture of YOU to its recipient who may not know you. Later on in life, you will be glad that you retained ; the lessons taught in school and keep your letters neat.

Please know_ that your Editor wants to help you "Put Your Best Foot Forward" for your Youth Club and you- as its representative can help him by observing a few conventional rules of letter writing.

Bless you all and thank you.

Reports From Local Lodges SOKOL CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS ANNUAL SOKOL PICNIC The Sokol Corpus Christi gymnastic organization will hold its 31st annual picnic all day Sunday May 28,1961 at the Sokol Hall on Kostoryz road one-half mile south of Lexington Boulevard.

Jim Kucera, President John Stasa, Secretary ) • 4, • ( —KOVAR, TEXAS In the picture above Brother V. H. Barina, District One Organizer, is presenting to Brother Frank Vytopil, Organizer of Lodge No. 39 of Bryan, Texas, a "Special Award" a Certificate of Merit, with the following reading: "In appreciation to Brother Frank Vytopil, and members of Lodge Bedrich Smetana, No. 39, for outstanding service and for contribution in securing new members and promiting Fraternal Lodge Activities, it is with deep gratitude that we express sincere thanks for the many accomplishments in be half of the SPJST Order.

V. H. Barina, • • Dear Members: Our Brother Vytopil has earned this "Special Award" and it is stated on the certificate for outstanding services, but he is too modest to accept all the credit.

He says that he could not have been able to sell over $50,000 of Insurance in one year if it had not been for the splendid cooperation and help which he received from the wrsembers of his Lodge. So, the Award is not for him only, but for the whole membership of his Lodge as well.

Notice the happy grin on the face of Brother Joe B. Hejny, our Supreme Lodge Vice-President, who is witnessing this presentation.

The picture and writing shows what a success we had in District One in 1960, but this year, as you can see from the April Report, the pattern is not the same.

We are lagging behind, so far, we have sold only about half of the amount of last year at this time of the year We all realize that business of this kind comes in waves, sometimes they are high and sometimes they are low.

But, if we don't wake up, if we remain inactive too long, it may be that we will find it pretty bard to reach our quota before the year runs out.

I am, therefore, appealing to you, while there is still time, while the year is still young, to take more tine gout to sell the good Protection and good Sa y-

ings Plans our Order has to offer. Look around, ask your friends to look around for you and try and sell large enough amounts so that the insured would be well protected in case of need.

There are always young people getting married, there are always new babies being born, people starting out who need protection of different kind, be on the lookout for them, they will be thankful to you for doing something for them that they cannot do for themselves, and remember, that should you run into any kind of idifficulty, I would be most happy to come and assist you in any way I can, just let me know and I will be there. I am going to try and visit with all of you in the near future, maybe we can work out something together, but above all let us all put a little bigger punch in our organizational work.

Brother Hejny and I will start having Organizers' Meetings (Schools) in the near future, be ready for them by putting your troubles down on a piece of paner, we may be able to do something about it in one of these classes — be ready to ask questions, and by all 'Deans, come out to this Organiber's Meeting.

You will be notified in time.

The SPJST is something that all of us should be really proud of, we Organizers ',should offer our many different con-

tracts with pride and confidence because our Order has fulfilled its obligations 100 per cent to everyone, so you see — it's only up to us, and I'm confident that all of you will do your part.

We got a little slow start but it is the finish that really counts, and I know that we can and will bring home the bacon just like we did before.

Wishing you the bet of success, I am Fraternally yours, V. H. Barina, District One Organizer ) * •11, TAYLOR, TEXAS Dear Brother Editor, Am enclosoing a picture taken by the Taylor Daily Press in case you might want to run it in the Vestnik.

The reason and purpose of it is as follows: Ever y year, the Taylor business men, along with the Chamber of Commerce, sponsor a broiler growing contest. On a specific date, all the youngsters that want to enter and the business men who participate, meet a set place. The youngsters draw a name from a box The one they draw is their s-oonsor. Th, sponsor gives the grower 50 chicks. He or she, then raises the chicks for two ).months. Then on a set 1date, they show the 5 best ones. The three top winners

get cash awards. Then 'e is a chicke-i barbecue for the sponsors and growers.

The sponsors pay for the chicks, the barbecue and the awards. And of course the advertising in the paper. There is a lot of other publicity given also.

This contest is a wonderful thing. It helps the young people in many ways.

They really go for it too. There are 6IIof them in it this year. Many of them are members of our SPJST. The contest will end in June and should my grower be a winner, I will let you knoW.

SPJST SOFTBALL CLUB OF LODGE 84 Dallas, Texas Dear Readers: In my last article I advised you that we won our Monday night May 8 game from Dallas Institute by a score of 9 to 4 and Wednesday night May 10, we won over Mayhew Machinery by a score of 4 to 2 in what the fellows told me was a "gem of a game." I was sick and in the hospital and therefore, I did not give you all of the particulars of these games.

You will just have to excuse me this time as I did not have the information to the leading hitters and the highlights of the games. Anyway, I am proud of the team for winning these two games,

Brother Raymond Urbanovsky had the honor of the Fifty-Year Member Rollcall. The 50-year Honorees were seated on one side facing the crowd as Brother Urbanovsky read the Lodge and name of the :1-Rmber, he or she was escorted by four young ladies Of Lo!dge No. 56. Of the 42 names read, 12, were present. A little later, three more Honorees arrived.

At this time a long-time member was introduced and he was Brother Adolph Eles of La Salle, Texas. He is very active in the Order and is the Secretary of Lodge 153, Pokrok Benview. He has held this office for the last 25 years. Sister Files was also present at this meeting.

To hold one office for so many years 1,s a proven fact that this member is loyal to his Lodge.

Everything quitened down now, as it was time to award the Fifty-Year Emblems to the Honorees.

• The membership sang: "Ta Nase Pisnicka Ceska," and "KOline.”

Supreme Lodge President, Brother Marek, followed this presentation by

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS saying that the Emblem is little but it is a syraDol of Love for the SPJST. He said that their work was hard in the early days and thanked them for their good work. The Supreme Lodge and all members of the SPJST for the monument they built. It is the understanding and brotherhood that made them ,good members of the SPJST. The statement "Fifty Years" is easily said, but it is a long time. Many of the members came from the "Old Country" here to America for their choice of freedom. This afternoon we have gathered here and witnessed the giving of the eicnblems to ;those who have been in the Order for 50 years or more and will say that there are no words to describe and acknowledge the efforts of the Pioneers of this nation of ours; men and women who organized to build up fraternalism for generations to come.

Today our nation is facing the hazard of another war. We are in great danger.

The Fraternal Congress stated that we stand as a Union proclaiming Democracy , Our Youth is coming forward and we are the only Order that has worked with the Youth. Teach the Youth that our Freedom is not Free, that it has to be maintained and guarded.

Brother Hejny said that Brotherhood is always spoken of, but how many actually know the meaning of this word and also live it. Brother Hejny spoke to the Honorees and told them that they knew hardships which confronted them in their work. We cannot imagine the true depth of your hardships 50 years ago. The great love that you gave to this work brought this wonderful Fraternity to the point as we see it here this afternoon .

Brother Zabcik stated that the SPJST has a good life protection. "Always recommend the SPJST Insurance to everyone." He also said that it was a pleasure to be here, and congratulated the FiftyYear Meta-Abers.

Brother Kleprlik stated! that each and everyone that understands English but that this is mostly the younger , generation and told them that before them are the Fifty-Year Honorees but it is up to the Youth to continue and work and may the fraternal spirit go on The Fifty Year Members never asked for pay for for their duties but did what they could for the Order. A monument has been built that cannot be erased as long as we have Youth to contribute in this work.

Brother August Kacir, attorney form the Supreme Lodge, commended District Seven and the Fifty-Year Honorees.

He said that the SPJST loans out money not only to ornembers but non-mem-

Wednesday, May 24, 1961 bers as well. The Czech people have applied for the least number of loans.

Roll Call revealed that ten lodges of District Seven were represented and they are as follows: Lodge Numbers: 26, 56, 117, 118, 127, 133, 137, 152, 161 and 168. Those that were not represented are: Lodges No. 93, 107, 115, 164, and 147.

Sister Marcak of Lodge No. 127, made a short report on the Rest Home in Taylor, Texas. She said that Brother Marcak, Director to the Rest Home from District Seven made a trip to Taylor and said that plans are completed for the additional rooms for bed-ridden cases. This is most needed at the Rest Home. At an early date open bids will be taken for this project.

A motion was made and approved that a letter of thanks be written to Brother Frank Moravek at the SPJST Rest Home and to Brother Frank Machart of Callihan, Texas. These two Fifty-Year Members were unable to attend this Meeting due to age. "We all wish you good lasting health and congratulate you for the Fraternal work in the SPJST and may the rest of your years be happy ones."

Brother Kleprlik asked the membership where they wished to hold its next Meeting. As no lodge asked for this next Meeting, it was left up to the Officers of District Seven to designate a Lodge where it will be held. This concludes the report of the District Seven Meeting — a most successful one.

Fraternally, Betty Jurica, Secretary District Seven —_.) • 4 • COTTONWOOD LODGE NO. 6 Dear Members and Friends: Our Lodge held its meeting Sunday, May 7th with thirty-seven members present in all.

"Without Mothers, the world would be a very weary place, soon emptied a pt only of love, but of life itself."

VESTNtK— WEST, TEXAS For the girls' mothers and families it was a very happy event this Mother's Day, as two of our small Sokol girls, Susan Steinman and Linda Boenish who received their First Holy C ► rimunion.

On Saturday, May 6. 1961, one of our former Junior Sokol girls, Kathryne Hubenak, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe P. Hubenak, was married to Johnny Joe Swinford of Fort Worth. The reception, dinner and dance was given at Sokol Hall. The food and refreshments were delicious and well prepared. The music by the John Dlabaj Orchestra of West, Texas, really made the young and old swing and sway!

It was nice seeing Mr. and Mrs. John Motl, formally of Fort Worth, now in Hughes Spring, Texas at this occosion, and to know that they look forward to ireading the news from Fort Worth.

On May the 12th and 13th, as you entered the door at Sokol Hall you could right away sense the excitement in the air that was to be displayed, because the circus atmosphere was in sight with colorful banners waving from the center of the hall, circus paintings displayed on corner post and clowns selling popcorn and balloons. The Sokol Exhibition of 1961, which carried the circus theme, was indeed a great success. Our RingMaster was Emil Milan. The program was divided into two parts. Part I, was the 8 Beseda — National Czechoslovakian serious part, which showed the "Fitness Folk Dance executed beautifully by eight of our Youth." small boys and girls.
