23. SRPNA (AUGUST) 1961

HUME POCTIVM DILA Casein ani nevim jak zaeit, abych opravdu zajem nagich elenn povzbudil a ziskal je, aby hledeli mezi elenstvem svou ptimlavou zachovati vge to co nam nejen k opatrovani ale i k roz:giteni bylo odkazano.

My stargi elenave melt bychom opravdu si dnes uvedomiti, to tech roku, jet nam zbYvaji k protiti, neni jit mnoho a proto men bychom se snatiti, pokudi je to motne, aby katdy ten nag rok byl v kruhu bratrske dobte zutitkovan a ptivedl nas vgechny o nekolik stupriti vise, net jsme byli roku minuleho.

Obeas si delame plany co vgechno vykaname, ale jak se nam nekde nee° "hati" hned na, ty plany zapominame a pak dokonce na ne zapomenem. To nadgeni pri trochu sklamani ochabuje a nechame se pak jen una geti proudem osobniho pohodli. K to spoleene praci spolkove je bud' piing horko, testa daleanebo nechce se mi strojit, a za par tSrdnft bude chladneji, nebo pti gla k nam navgteva ,a co nevidet zas bude vYmluva, to pteprcha, a v sini je chladno a tak dale.

Nekdy ovgem, to se i to "schilzovani" omrzi, kdyt se jen mlavi a mluvi, co a jak by melo bit. A east() koncem toho miuveni je, to se ve schilze nekolik navrha odhlasuje, nebo sestavi nejakY plan pro nejakou einnost a cela vec se pteda vYboru, a pakli ten nedba, tak tam to i chydejne "zapadne". — A cot ty navrhovatele planu? — Ty, si hovi v klidu a jsou radi, to je nikdo nevyrug uje. Mysli, to vykonali svoji povinnost. — Vtdyt'

kekli, co a jak by se to melo udelat a co vic od nich jegte chce se tadat? iteknou, necht' se staraji zvoleni nae jsme je do irtadn postavili.

TakovSim zpirsobem to ale bratti a sestry nejde. Co je tedy patteba cleat aby dinnost todova neochabla?

Tedy si laskave ptipomerime, to vgude kde nag e tadove, einnost pokulhava, pottebujeme tichou nehluenou ale soustavnou a vytrvalou praci, ktera narn• musi vzejit ne na povel, nYbrt vedomim povinnosti tim vnittnim citenim, to jsem elenem neb elenkou bratrskeho zdruteni, kterY nas v gechny spojuje a kterSr cit umotimje to bychom si moll rozumeti i beze slov. — Ptemy glejnie A tom.

Takove pia-

25,dnou pfiletitost k zlep geni nesmime nechat kolem sebe pfejiti, anit bychant se ji uch.opili. Jedna takova ptiletitost jest v nagich vlastnich rodinach, jsou to nage vnoudata, male netete a synovci. Dale na ge dalgi ptatele, sousedy a zname, ziskejme je vhodnYrn slovem pro nagi Jednotu, pro Jednotu, kterou jsme sami pomahali budovati a kterou pfec chceme tak dobrou jak jo dnes zachovati i tern, kdo po nas ptijdou.

Arthur Lostak Alvin Franta Lad Doskocil ) GRANGER BECOMES POPCORN CAPITAL OF TEXAS Through the courtesy of our good member, brother John P. Trlica of Granger, Texas, we give Vestnik's readers an excerpt from the Taylor Daily Press of August 14 issue, stating that the area around Granger has been planting the largest acreage in popcorn and producing the finest of quality product. The type of soil is important and tests show that the soil around Granger is very suitable for producing a high grade popcorn with a high popping kernel ratio.

"This year's popcorn production in the Granger. area is one of the finest known quality," Forrest Wanberg of Middle. bury, Indiana, purchasing agent for the • Wanberg Popcorn Company of Indiana stated while preparing for shipment to processing plants close to a million pounds of the popcorn in the rural area ,of Granger.

For the past twenty years, many Granger farmers have been growing popcorn and realizing satisfactory results in yield and profits. It was back in the year 1941, that I. C. Pan ya, local banker, saw the need of an early cash crop for farmers of this area, and through his efforts, working with Wanberger, Granger fan n lands soon began producing a high quality popcorn."

The long article goes on to say that the local growers received their hybrid seed for planting from one of three common sources to insure the best, uniform, seed.

The article also states that Fannin Country in North Texas is another suitable popcorn growing area where the farmers are steadily increasing their acreage of popcorn.

Much of Granger's popcorn, according to Mr. Wanberg goes to all parts of the nation — into hundreds of theaters 1 and concession stands, from the far east to the far west coasts, as well as some foreign countries.

Since Texas is fast becoming the biggest user of popcorn, there is some pos- • sibility that a processing plant be set up somewhere in th estate. If the popearn is to be processed in Texas, there will definitely be need for several distributing plants, reliable sourses state.

The annual all-day meet of District Two's Youth Activity Day was again held at the beautiful Boy Scout Camp Tahuaya, some four miles out of Belton, Texas.

Due to road construction underway, thus changing the landscape, many of our members lost their way, which threw them a little late for the beginning.

The noon meal was served at 12:30 to some two hundred hungry folks, with more members coming in the afternoon for the contests.

The good sisters of District Two did the board proud with a variety of home cooked and home baked foods, and the huge crock of ice cold tea was the center of activity throughout the day.

With a short meeting opened by District Two President, Brother Frank Spaniel, which upon roll call revealed 50 per cent of the lodges were represented, Brother Spaniel effectively led the meeting through its routine so that the impatient youngsters could take over.

Of the visitors attending the Youth Activity Day were: the Rudy Sefciks of Houston in. District Five, Brothers Vitek, SPJST Director, August Kacir our Attorney, Edward L. Marek, our Supreur.‘e President and Ben Zabcik, our Supreme Lodge Financial Secretary, and the Editor from District Three.

District Two Secretary Brother A. L. Boudny read a letter from our convalescing Brother Mikolaj who, sent heartiest bes t wishes for a most successful meeting to the gathering as well as his regrets at not being able to attend, stating that this was the first time he was not able to be there.

Brother Marek conveyed regrets form the Kolihas of the Supreme Lodge at not being present.

So, please do help them out in this. Write to Brother Leshikar, or Brother Boudny the Secretary or Brother Mikolaj. Brother Leshikar invited everyone to come and enjoy a day of wonderful fellowship.

Brother Hosek announced that he counted 225 members "esent, and still more came later. Brother Hosek invited the membership to send in their local news, stating that it makes interesting reading for the whole brotherhood.

Speaking of Youth, Brother Hosek stated that while we honor our old membership, we especially want the young members to come among us. He stated that "our Order has a nice Headquarters Building in Temple, conscientious officers in it; a beautiful Rest Home of which we can boast and beautiful Lodge Halls all over Texas; so that we should spread the word that each persan needs insurance: why not take it out with us."

In the Talent Contest, Junior Division, (this division will not compete at the State Contest) young Frank Klinkovsky, Jr., of Lodge No. 47 placed first, and petite Dennis Bartek of Lodge No. 29, placed second.

In the Senior Division which would compete in, the State Contest, lovely Sandra Mikeska of Lodge No. 47 Seaton, will represent District Two at the State meet September 24, with lovely Bernadette

Wednesday, August 23, 1961 Malchar of Lodge No. 29 and handsome Jack Stalmach of Lodge No. 48 tied for second place.

Then we all moved out for the swimming contests and other field contests.

Sister Hejl, appointed sister Mikeska in charge of the Swimming event, and brother Bartek, with his appointed assistant in charge of Field Activities. Sister Heji will give Vestnik's readers a detailed report on this phase of the activity as many of the tadpoles in the swimming pool and the contestants in the Senior division were not known to us by name.

Many expressed delight and surprise at the ideal site Capp Tahuaya embraces for this type of Youth Activity, stating that they are sorry they did not come the previous two times to enjoy this wonderful spot.

Our Brother Marek being an avid fisherman, went over to the boatlanding ramps to wet his, line in the beautiful waters of the car.up.We know he had a ball for there are plenty of fish for the catching. Some of the other foresighted brother pulled out thei: tackle and followed suit.

To those who could come and didn't — you don't know what you and your kiddos missed. Those who did come were all very glad they did, for all had a wonderful time.

This is 'another Big Youth Activity event and you may be assured that it will be a bang of a success as Sister Maxine Sefcik and our Local Lodge Youth Leaders will surely see to it, that every little detail and all preparations will be take,n care of. It is definitely guaranteed that even some Genuine Real Folding Money will be given and the only qualification is that you have to be present to win.

LODGE NO. 84 SOFTBALL TEAM Dallas, Texas Dear brothers and sisters: On Thursday night, August 10, we played the Dallas Airmotive Team in the second round of the City Championship playoffs and we were beaten by a score of 7-0. As a result of this loss, we were eliminated from the playoffs as this was a single game elimination tournament. We were a little disappointed that we lost, but overall, we feel that it was a successful season to have gotten this far.

We were one of 32 teams to have won our League Championship and we also have a co-championship in the other league we played in, so, two League Trophies and one win before elimination from the play off is a record that we can and should all be proud of.

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank each and everyone of the players who contributed in any way to this record, as your manager I am proud of your of your achievements. Without your cooperation and all of your efforts, we could not have accomplished these feats.

Wes Jaska was on the mound and allowed seven 'hits, walked one batter and struckout nine . Of the four runs scored in the first six innings, three were unearned and this about suers up the outcome of this game. There was a lot of pressure in this game and their pitcher was the fastest one we have faced this season, so, - we just didn't get any runs and this is most essential in winning a game.

We had two hits, one by Frank Mach, q n, and one by Raymond Smith. Alex Parma, Leonard Drogd and Wilbur Munger got on base via walks. The fellows all gave their best, but it would have

Straus 20

taken a little more with a lot of luck to have won this one.

We had the largest turnout of members and friends rooting for the team at this game, we are sorry that we didn't win for this reason.

I doubt if any team in the playoffs will draw such an audience . We are very proud of you all for coming out and if we have a team again next season, and whoever will be the manager, please give them the samekirid of support and cheering that was so abundant this season of 1961.

We will have our Annual Softball Team sports award and steak dinner in the near future. Two of our players have to get 1..larried first. Milton Spaniel will say "I do" on August 26 and Paul Valenta will sa y his "I do" on Sept. 9th.

The rest of us, all married and happy ballplayers, wish you and yours the best of health, wealth, and happiness in the years that lie ahead.

A picture of this year's team will appear in the Vestnik in the near future and also a final report covering our sports award and steak dinner_ Our thanks again for all -your support this season, we the players have unanimously agreed that we have had a most enjoyable and fruitful season.

SOKOL FORT WORTH Dear Members and Friends, Today, August 15th., The Assumption, a Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic calendar was celebrated at Sokol Hall Mrs. Anne Korteff was hostess to 25 relatives and friends. It has been her custom to celebrate this day for the past 40 years, refraining from any work whatsoever. Those of you that know her style of entertaining know well that there was plenty of delicious food and refreshments. After dinner the crowd divided into groups and played games. The canasta game was so interesting that several of us stayed until it was time to at again!

Just recently, Sister Mary Reginald and Sister Mary Giralda were honored with an open house in the nome of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kuban. Sister Mary Reginald, the sister of Joe Kuban celebrated her 25th Silver Jubilee in the Order of Divine Providence that staff the Lady of the Lake College in San Antonio, Texas.

Sister Mary Giralda, is again the aunt of Mr. Kuban. It was indeed a pleasure to meet these two cong.eneal Sisters, and to compare classroom procedure, for they are both teachers. In fact, Sister Mary Giralda is a sixth grade teacher in the community of West, Texas, the home office of the Vestnik. Sister Mary Reginald is a music teacher, so you can see that Joe and John Kuban, children of Mr. and Mrs Joe Kuban, are following their Sister Aunt's footsteps, for they too, are talented in music. For the open house the boys sang several American and Czech songs, accernpanied on the piano by lovely Gloria Naizer, who in turn also sang a couple of songs.

V STNIS— WEST, TEXAS

Delicious refreshme,nts were served to more than 25 guests.

The ingredients was a mixture of hamburger meat, Kellog's corn flakes, crumbs and jace. For dessert they also roasted "dough-boys" made of biscuit dough on a hickory stick. These were coated with butter and strawberry jelly after they were roasted and browned evenly over the open coals.

Do you have a simple, foolproof recepe which you would like to share with Vestnik's readers? Many of you don't like okra because they become slick.

In the above picture is another view of the very lovely float the Cottonwood No. 6 Lodge had in the recent Pre-Rodeo parade here at West on August 10, showing the District III Queen, lovely sister Linda Mynar, her Duchess Kathy Zapalac and her FlowerGirl Jeanette Krizan. The imaginative float took hours of work — thanks to cottonwood's Youth Leader and her helpers. It was pulled behind a

car driven by Brother John Krizan and h is lovely wife sister Ruth Krizan, Youth Leader of the Cottonwood Lodge No. 6.

On another float rode the remaining Cottonwood Youth Cub. This is one of the best avenues of advortising our . 0rder and its Youth Clubs While it was n ot in western motif, it added a fine touch to the parade.

Heat your fat to 250 degrees. Fry potatoes until they rise to the surface (about five minutes). Remove and drain on absorbent paper.Then allow them to get cold. (put them in your refrigerator if you wish) Fry again by plunking thern into fat 425 degrees hot. Remove them when theyare puffed and brown . Sprinkle with salt or powdered cheese and serve hot. If some of the potatoes refuse to puff, cool them and fry again.

These elegantly French potatoes can be prepared the day before your cook out or picnic and finished the next clay. They are always welcomed in the summer menu.

Wednesday, August 23, 1961 LABOR. DAY AND THE AMERICAN WORKER, Labor Day, 1961, sees the American worker's standard of living at the highest level in history, and his leaders wielding powerful influence in the nation's councils. But Labor Day this year also comes at a time when more than 51/2 million Americans are out of work. It is not surprising, therefore, that a frequent question being asked today in other countries is this: "If American capitalism is so good, how do you explain your millions of unemployed?"

If our friends and relatives abroad ask us this question in their letters, h'ow should we answer them? The suggested answer which follows may be useful as a guide.

Unemployment statistics can be misleading. More people in the United States, over 58 million, have jabs today than ever before. Many workers reported as unemployed are in fact changing from one job to another, or are newly entering the labor market. Nevertheless, at a time when America is enjoying general prosperity, unemployment presents a serious problem, In a society like ours where rapid technological changes are taking place, where some older industries are made obsolescent by new inventions and new sources of power, where certain areas are in ecomic transition, some measure of unemployment is probably inevitable.

The necessary adjustments, re-training and relocations take time.

Any serious amount of unemployment, however, is a problem that deeply concerns our government and our people.

For we see it as a cp atter of right that every person who can and wants to work should have a job. As President Kennedy has said: "We have long since decided as a nation that we will not turn our backs upon workers and their families undergoing the hardships of unemployment."

Some of me ways in which the government is trying to meet the problem include better unemployment insurance coverage, earlier retirement and larger benefits under Social Security, job retraining programs, aid to areas where industry has shut down permanently or moved away, efforts to increase our rate of economic growth.

Easing the hardships of unemployment is only the first of a series of necessary steps. Since the 1930's our country has developed substantial safeguards against major depressions. It is seeking better ways to meet the ups and downs of the business cycle. We must create mare than a million new jobs a year to absorb the normal increase in our workiii,g poPula-

tion, and another million jobs a year to absorb workers displaced by automation and other technological advances.

These are goals, however, which we are confident American capitalism can reach. Our system of free enterprise is a dynamic, expanding system. There is an increasing amount of real wealth — and it is being sharer more equitably.

America has had remarkable success in meeting the challenge of how to spread more widely and fairly the increasing wealth our system produces. Economically speaking, there has grown up in the United States a vast middle class — and A person can have more money than it includes nearly all of us. Experts call brains, and still be flat broke. this "one of the great social revolutions of our history," We Americans are confident our nixed econc p iy — free enterprise and government leadership — will meet the challenge of unemployment.

WHAT THE S.P.J.S.T,, MEANS TO ME (The following essay was awarded First place in District One contest al Bryan. Other essays will also be publish, ed).

After participating for one year as a Member of the Bryan, Texas SPJST Lodge No. 39, I have discovered a new world of many wonderful friends. The mutual brotherhood and sisterhood of all the inerebers is extremely beneficial to all fellow members.

As a member of the SPJST Youth Club, I was given an outlet to display creative talent, which teaches the youth of our lodge, district, region, and state to develop a sense of competition and sportsmanship. The contests always prove interesting and loads of fun for alt who enter and participate — win or lose!

Learning leadership and organization has helped me in other activities, also.

Many fund raising projects are held by our local lodge and youth. It is wonderful to work hand in hand and side by side with and for the lodge and the youth. There is no greater sense of being than for a human being to feel needed and to fulfill that need by doing his part as a member, by helping out when called upon to do a task, or by just having fun together.

To me, membership in the SPIST 'means the sharing of true brotherhood and sisterhood with my fellow members.
