Jesth e vSak dItko neukazuje zajmu o farmu a vkchno co na ni je, jestli mluvi jen o vYhodach mestskeho 2ivota aneb a zalibe v obchodu aneb rfiznSrch kemeslech, pak je nejlepe jim dati prileSitost ku 2ivotu jineinu die jejich naklenosti.

Vzpominam, 2e znal jsem mnohe a mnoho tech, kteri mysleli 2e 2lvot na venkove neni pro ne a Sli do mesta, pracovali tam i ,deli eas, ale po nekolika letech kdy2 poznali, 2e ten mestskY vat neni east() jak se jim zdal, radi se vratili na venkov aby za2ivali ten volny divot tu svobodu, dobre bydlo jeinu2 za mladi sveho navykli. asto slYchame, 2e veda jest moc a prec lidska nevedomost' mela vice moci ne 2 v2,delanost Pro nevedomost jest vlade yydr2ovat drahe zarizeni a vydani to prevySuje vydaje na nak neeliste.

RY'hy eernYch brazd zaeinaly se prodirati ze gpinavYch zdveji, ale v myslivne bylo stale tak ponurno a smtno, protote nemoc Boteina se nelepgila.

V Pankove jegte nezhasla v gechna nadeje. Donne za sve dite Boha prosila a easem se ji zdavalo, te Buh ani nemii-

Ve stiedu, dne 6. tali 1961 ze na ni tak take' zkou gky ulotiti, .aby ji nejmilej gi dite vzal.

V pkedposledni nedeli masopustni vypravila se Pankova, na velkou. Pied kazanim zagla, do sakristie, Bala na mgi svatou za teke nemocnou osobu a potom usedla do lavieky v piesbytaii vedle pani Marinky. Oei obratila na °hal, srdce a du gi povznesla k Bolan v Upenhve prosbe za dite. Slzy kanuly teke gene matce po licich, rty se ji zachvivaly a zrak se ustaviene kahl. Mysl jeji mezi modlitbou ruletla zpet dome kde v astrani od sveta v tiche svetnien ce posledni sny spkadala zlata hlava jeji decry.

Ponokena ye svfij zal Pankovo, temet nieeho nemela z kazdni a byla by snad pieslechla take vkchno, co pan fardi po kazani ohla goval, kdyby ji v tont pani Marinka jernne ne gt'ouchla loktem, "Dejte ted', pozor, pani foktova!"

A pan farak ohlasiv z knihy polad pobothosti a zadugnich nigi pro pkigti tjden, obrdtil v knize svazek listu a po kratieke pfestavce jal se eisti: Ve stay sy. mantelstvi vstoupiti mini Karel Chle borad, kidici ueitel ve Slatine, svobodnY, katolik, pinoletY syn atd. . . a Marie Kalinavd, mantelska, dcera Josefa Kaliny a mantelky jeho Marie, viten& Bartove. . .

Pankova, najednon ztrnula, jakoby yedle ni blesk uhodil. Slygi dobke? Je to te timto okamtikem i jedina jeSte nadeje ye Stesti ,drupe Beery kaci se v prach? Zdalo se ji, ze v ge to jest jenom sen a te to nemfite byti skuteenosti.

A piece bylo vte pravda. Na licich pHtomneho lid,u, zvlagte niladeho tu a tam kmitnul se fismov a nejedna hlava kradkem zatoeila se ke kruchte hledajic °alma ueitele, kteiy v gak se hlavou vratenou do ramen ukrYval se za varhanami.

"Pan uditel vgecky pkekvapil! Do Posledni chvile nikdo nieeho nevedel," zagepatla k foktove pani Marinka.

Pankovd pkikYvla jenom vatne hlavou.

Mihnula se ji pied alma Hermina s tvakemi v posledni dobe od ustavieneho bdeni pkepa.dlYini zamlkld a nad sestkinSrm osudem sesmutneld.

"Jo, dite nebohe v takovem stavu neni ,divu ,te se ti uoitel odrazil. Vie touhou pa tivote a kolem na geho domu plow ti se smutek a ne gtesti," proglehlo Pankove rozbolestnenou dugi.

"No, budit Bohu porueeno. Negtesti nikdy nechodi samotno," pomyslila si, mysl od ueitele nasilirn odpoutala a znova, pohroutila dugi ye vfelou modlitbu.

Po bohoslutbach pod bezlistSrmi lipami pied kostelem dekala na Soktovou start pani ucitelova. Tvaie ptepadle, oei

ye sttedu, dne 6. zati. 1961 smutne, cela, jako by si byla nejake velike viny vedoma, choulila se do tmaveho yltiaku. Ani se neodvalila k Pankove vzhlednouti, kdy l ji ruku podavala.

"Tote, jste se dovedela dnes v kostele, zlata pani fottova, pekne noviny! — te nine, pies tyden ji l nespim, co mi ten hoch kaki, co to zamY gli. Tak jsem si jil ted' u helm tu budoucnost pekne malovala. Dedince i lidem v ni jsem ji zvykla a tak se mi zdavalo, e sleenu Hermiku, potad vidirn kolem sebe a Karla.

Z zatim tak nine v§echno vy§lo na zarmutek." lalovala pohnute pani fottoye star. Chleboradova.

"Co je delati, milá panimamo? Mebyla to vfile boi, nemelo se to stati tak, jak jsme si to my matky v blahove predstavovaly," povzdechla Pankova.

"Jenom, prosim vas, zlata pani fotto va, se na mne nehnevejte a nine viny za to neddvejte. Já za, dite nemohu. Dost jsem se mu sle,eny Herminky nanadhazovala. Se zalibenim o n poslouehaval, ale ted' najednou mamon mu zaslepu Dvacet tisic s nevestou dostane a to mu udelalo. S krejearem dosud zapasil -" "Prot! bych se, panimamo,, na, vas linevala? Jak poviciam, nemelo to bYti. Na§e Hermi beztoho pa panu ueiteli nehotela. Ta pro nej hlavu veget nebude. Ja, ovgem, zrovna jako vy, rnyslila jsem; by to mohlo bYti gtesti tech deti, kdyby se vzaly. A rozhodnul-li se pan ueitel pro jinou, ,dej mu Pan Buh, aby d,o§el toho, co hledal. My dnes zarmutkem nad dcerou sklieeni nemame ani kdy, abychom se oddavali jinym starostem," zaslzela fortova.

"Ba, panimamo draha, verim vam to a Pan Buh vas vg echny note§ a lidelej tom nejakY prosttedek. U nas snad jeUté obrati se k lep gimu, ja v§ak tuhie smutna deveeka s celou radosti jsem u konce."

"No, v'ldyt` nevite, jake v§echno to bude. Snad i bohata nevesta ,dovede si vas valiti. A bude-li vam Casein u srdce prild'te si k nam starostem ule. vit. Proto se nas nemusite straniti, le obe jsme se ve svYch vYpoetech tak zklamaly."

"Jen kdy'l se, zlata, dobra pan! fortova, na nine nehnevate. Pozvala bych vas na chvilku k nam, ale prod synem by se nam dnes teke besedovalo," omlouvala se Chleboradova.

"Vim to, vim. Pi.i.jd'te radeji brzo k nam a zatim zustavejte s Panem Bohem," chvatne poddvala, ruku Pankova, a odchazela vy glapanou, cestiekau, mezi plotyi zahrddek a rozbtedlou cestou Pa,ntato s pani Marinkou eekali na ni u fary.

"Toto je novina, pani fottova! My jsme jil domYkeli, "le pan ueitel kaZdY etvrtek a nedeli neodjikli nadarmo," rozpicadala hovor pani Marinka.

"Main ja ted' eas na takove veci mysliti! Kdyby nam jenom radeji Pan Brill toho ditete zlateho nebral!"

"Inn, co platno? Ji2 na v§echny strany se musime podloUiti vrili bali. Je mi ted' lehoeji, 'le to devee, Hermina, pro uditele hlavu neztratilo. Aspori Si myslim, le se neptetvarovala a proto ji ted' ta neobyeejno. zprava neohrorni," uvalaval fort.

Replying to the letter of one of our ardent Czech Self Study Lesson, reader Mrs. Martha Harms of Bryan, Texas, this is to inform her and other readers of our "SelfStudy" that a Czech Language book or dictionary can be purchased at the firm of F. Pancner, Publisher, 6514 West CeTmak Read, Berwyn, Illinois. We are always glad to hear from our readers. Replying to our other student of the Self Study", Mr. Rudolph Dvorak of Ft. Worth, Texas, we are sorry to advise

that we cannot furnish him all of the previous lessons which have appeared thus far, as we do not keep them on file. Replying to your inquiry as to the correct translation of the "Lord's Prayer" we would say that the translation to the Czech would be correct "Modlitba Hospodinova" but we usually call the Lord's Prayer in Czech "Otte Nar which is derived from the German "Vater Unser". If there is anything else, please feel free to call on me again.The editor

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK To All Our Organizers 55 Years Of Seaton Hall Lodge Hvezda Texas No. 47 of Seaton, Texas, held a 55-year anniversary celebration of the building of their Star Hall Sunday, Sept. 3, 1961 to a nice gathering of members, friends and guests.

Brother Theo. Dana opened the Meeting taking the place of their President Brother Frank Ffejl, who has just returned home from the hospital after having been in an automobile accident and not able to be present.

A. short Youth Program was presented

by Sister Clara llejl, Youth Leader, followed by siEakers who talked on the subject of the 55th Anniversary of the Hall and to the two remaining members who originally helped build the Hall, brothers Karel KalEnda and brother John Bravenec, who was too ill to attend this occasion in his honor.

Brother Ealenda in his acknowledgement of the honors bestowed upon him, stated that he didn't do it alone, that it took the willing hands of every member, pulling by the same rope to make it. iourously he stated tliat the only r.: :.son he was still alive is that he had not forgotten how to breathe. The good sisters had a country store, hand-made articles in a booth which attracted quite a crowd from the distaff side of the faoDily. G a 111-c were held outside.

After the speaking, the Orch,estra set up shop to play some of the wonderful CZech polkas and waltzes until supper tirne when again trx sisters 'handled the happy alld 'h u ngry crowd of folks with their delicious Czech cooking.

The Editor and wife were nappy to be among so many eld friends, remmescing younger days and good times that the Walls of this Seaton Hall hosted in the past. Many Czech organizations remember Seaton for their hospitality and good entertainment. Many successful Czech projects were held there.

We all wish for Seaton many, many more years of participation in the fine, Czech traditions and spirit for which they are known all over Texas.

The Fraternal Side of Our S.P.J.S.T. Each year the National Fraternal Congress asks that we set aside one week in which to glorify and promote our endeavor, in a small way, to show you just what that Fraternal System can mean to us as Fraternalists.

As each of you cast your mind's eye back over your activities as Fraternalists, there are none but will acknowledge that the Fraternalists have played a part in your lives — some to a greater, and some to a lesser degree, but nevertheless, all have felt their influence.

SCIIT of you have been active in this work up to a helf-century, many a lesser number of years. and perhaps some are such recent converts that you do not yet realize the part the Fraternals can play in your lives.

I became vitally interested in the Fraternals and for years it was the center of Iroy social activities Years after year I saw the results of the Fraternal System — saw the young, the middleaged and elderly all rally 'round, vitally interested in the Order and what it stood for. I saw at times as many as three generations of one family gather at our meetings and social activities. It gave our people a place to gather and meet with their friends, keeping them off the streets, and away from places that would have dulled their mentality and corrupted their morals. In the past I have heard more than one prominent speaker state that the Fraternals were one of the greatest single factors in existence in keeping down juvenile delinquency.

The Charitable Side .

Another side of this picture of the value of our Fraternal Systole is the amount of charitable work our various Orders have, contributed to the welfare of mankind, for each have vied with the other in aiding the sick, comforting the afflicted, and relieving the distressed — what more can be said of any cause or system? Homes for the aged conducted for the sole benefit of their members speaks for itself We will never know the number of homes that have been saved from mortgage foreclosures, the many widows and orphans saved from want, or the amount of happiness that has been brought into the hearts of thousands who have been made to rejoice by reason of the inspiration which brought this Fraternal Insurance System into existence. The Fraternals were engaged in Welfare Work long before said type of work became a government project, and today we take our place a ► ong the leaders in that line of endeavor.

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS We have given you an idea of just what our. Fraternal System can mean in the lives of its members, now let us look at it from still another angle, and for a moment discuss its relationship to our government and our Democracy.

Our Fraternal Insurance System is a direct outgrowth of Democracy. Its organizations, government, and social functions closely parallel those of Democracy, and Democracy is today fighting for its very life, beset on all sides by the "isms" that would tear it down.

Fraternalism stands in the foremost ranks of its defenders, for it abounds with the spirit of loyalty and Patriotism.

Through its local lodges it teaches citizenship, love of country, tolerance and a deep understanding of American ideals, not only in this time of upheavel, but for over a century in the past.

Strana 13 upon using more or less commercial tactics and methods. I concede that we need such methods, but not to the detriment of Fraternalism, for Fraternals we were born and Fraternals we must remain if we are to hold our place. More and more of our Fraternals are falling by the wayside and are becoming Mutualized, and if we are to save ourselves we must bring back the times when the Lodge Hall was a real Fraternal home, a place made so attractive to our Youth. that meeting nights will again find them in their lodges, and not in the neighborhood cocktail lounges, movie houses or roving the countryside in their family's automobile.

We know you all love our Order and if you could but see where you are drifting, not one would arise, make a determined stand and say: "it shall not Today we constantly hear the so-called be!" patriotic organizations boast of their The commercials shall not make of beginnings, and what they stand for, but we challenge any, or all, to show a finer us what they desire, for we shall stand heritage than tnat enjoyed by our Fra- firm as the Rock of Gibraltar in making ternal Systole. But, we must be ever our system so attractive tot mankind alert, for there are many factors busily that all will be eager to enter our fold, — a step if taken, will never be regretted. trying to tear us down.

Indifference on the part of the mem)° ( bership is one factor — another is the gradual falling away of our young people in their attendance at our meetings, due to a great degree to outside interests more attractive to them in this post-war sophisticated space era, which seems to The S.P.J.S.T.

We are told by some that in the past Our brothers form the Supreme Lodge we have placed too much stress on Fraternalism, and our future depends cannot always be present at the various

Snook Hosts Distil is Meeting

Strana 14 occasions, as they often have previous committments. This should not reflect on their willingness to attend our different functions, but it is humanly knpossible to serve so many lodges on the same date. It must be remembered that District Five was ,holding a Youth Activity Day in Houston, to which Brother Hejny was called, on this same Sunday, Roll Call revealed that about a third of the Lodges in this District were represented, and Three Districts form our Order.

Brother Steve Regmund, District One Secretary, u p on a motion, read the minutes from the last Distric t Meeting which was held at New Tabor in March of this year. They were approved as read. Then the District Officers gave their reports.

Brother Regmund reported the District's Financial status, while Sister Matejka, the District Youth Leader, reported on the District One Youth Fund status.

Sister Matejka also requested that the District take under advisement to elect a new District Youth Director at the next Spring Meeting when the election of officers is to he held. She stated she no longer could carry on the work. Her report is published elsewhere in the Vestnik.

Brother Urbanovsky brought out the fact that last year our Order started awarding 50-year pins to members who have been in the Order for 50 years or longer. He wilied to know whether or not the District wished to carry on this practice for those who have just become Fifty-Year Members in our Order this Year. On a vote it was decided that the practice should be carried on but at the Spring Meeting, so that those eligible for the pins could make that Spring Meeting for the honors and presentations.

The time and place for the next District One Meeting in the Spring to be announced in the Vestnik when details have been worked out.

At this point the business meeting ended and Sister Lillie Mateqka presented .her Youth and, its program.

The program consisted of Youth from Lodges No. 9, No 39, No. 38 and No. 17. in a rich array of talent. As soon as cuts for the pictures taken by your Editor return, the readers will get some idea of how these youngsters performed. Suffice to say, it was enthusiastically applauded.

They all were very good. Sister Matejka promised to write up the numbers as they appeared with the names of of the participants. Look for it.

VESTNt K â&#x20AC;&#x201D; WEST, TEXAS Brother Urbanovsky was the first speaker at the conclusion of the Youth Program, who brought greetings from the Supreme Lodge Officers who were unable to attend, as stated earlier. ,Speaking in the Czech Language, Brother Urbanovsky stated that all of the Lodges who now have organized Youth Clubs, that the Youth are doing wonderful work, for the membership has increased and the interest among the young people in the SPJST is keen.

Brother Urbanovsky stated that when the Districts were organized in 1953, with the blessing of the Houston Convention, it was thought in some cases that they were organized 'for "Political" reasons, but such proved not to be the case. Through some statistics he had 'prepared, Brother Urbanovsky showed how the membership and the insurance has increased from Convention to Convention, making giant strides particularly in the last .four years_ The Districts have proved themselves, stated Brother Urbanovsky. Brother Urbanovsky lauded the District Organizers and their Lodge organizers, or better known as field men for this outstanding growth. Such men as Brother Barina he stated, have played a vital role in this growth.

Brother Ben Zabcik, our Supreme Lodge Financial Secretary speakin g in English stated that if the members study the Financial Statement which is published in the Vestnik once a month, they can note the progress being made frelp month to month. He complimented our Attorney, Brother August Kacir and the Seven Directors for the role they play in this progress: They are the ones whosee that the money loaned out is well and securely placed. They are very careful.

In our Supreme Lodge Meetings they are doing a very good job and as long as we keep up this good work our SPJST will go 'forward. We are selling insurance; are selling good stuff. Brother Barina's District is going forward: his organizers are really pushing it." stated Brother Zabcik. Brother Zabcik also complimented Sister Matejka on her work with the Youth in this District.

Brother August Kacir spoke next, stating that not only the Attorney and the District Directors but "all of us have to forge together or else we get nowhere."

Recognizing the "month of August" as the month in which our Order was organized, in the "good ole horse and buggy days" where everyone was within a five mile range of each other. "Your District has good officers, good leaders, solicitors. Your children were really wonderful; it is only a question of time until your youth will be the leaders of your lodges. The better they attend the meet-

Wednesday, September 6, 1961 ings, the better they become active in the Order, the Lodge etc.

Brother Kacir then explained changes in the law whereby an insurance company could own real estate; the last legislature amended this law; having taken the position that insurance companies hold real estate one year. It was during the "depression" that many insurance companies acquired vast tracts of land, when people at that time became discouraged and didn't hold on to their land, let it go to the holder of their mortgage. "It is a good law," he said, "for some day the corporations would bid all of the land."

Speaking on the fraternal phase of our Order and other fraternals like us, Bro. Kacir stated: "the federal government realizes that fraternals are not strictly life insurance companies and consequently they do not tax the income of fraternal insurance companies as they do stock companies."

Brother Kacir pointed out that besides the insurance Phase of our Order we stress brotherhood, and cultivate the cultural side of life, work with youth, aid the aged, "love thy neighbor as thyself."

Brother Vaclav Barina,, District Two Organizer spoke next, expressing pleasure at being there, saying that he could not think, of anything else more pleasant than visiting with such a fine bunch of people. He congratulated the District Officers, the Youth Director, the Lodge Youth Leaders on the way they presented the program. "I want to emphasize that the children who participated on this program this afternoon are much more important than many of you think.

They are the ones, if we stop to think, who will take over from us. For .a lot of us older members our tio.rie is getting shorter and someone will have to take over when we go and I think this is a good way to get them in our Order." He again complimented the Youth Leaders and the children for their performance, stating that this should be our District's aim, to be more active. He complimented Brother Jakubik as his "top organizer" in his District, citing Brother Syptak as runner-up, in doing such good work.

Brother Regmun,d from the Bryan Lodge was cited, who is also Secretary of District Two; the youth Leader for her good work, saying that most of the District's officers were very active.

Editor Hosek, reiterated what the previous speakers stated that the officers, Youth Leader and youth be recognized for their activities, in this District. "It is not easy," he stated. We want to hold our Youth with everything in our power; to let these young people know how

Wednesday, September 61, 1961 glad we are to have them among us."

Brother Hosek stated that he enjoyed being with the members, to see the progress and the activity going on in our Order. Brother Hosek expressed a wish that the next District Meeting have just a little better attendance than this one held in August.

Brother Frank Spaniel also spoke briefly. He brought Greetings to the Snook Lodge, saying it has been some 35 years since he was her last; that things have changed.

Brother Jakubik then brought ; the weeting to an end with "In behalf of the District officers, we are proud to see everyone here and hope to see each other next spring."

The good meeting adjourned and the good sisters having been busy, invited everyone to a light supper; to a delicious meal on the lodge in the world's best company -- our members and friends of District One. Again, it was a pleasure for the Editor tovisit with you and hope you will relive that afternoon often in the weeks to come. God bless you all.

Fraternally, Christine Zich • *To • ( WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: In the issue of August 23 of your Vestnik you will note that District Two had a Youth Activity Day at the Belton Boy Scout Camp, Camp Tahuaya, and that the good sisters brought out so much food that everyone ate to their heart's content. Among women the preparation of food especially when it's something new, doesn't go unnoticed, and so it was with the delicious Kidney Bean salad as well as with an Oatmeal Cake, which won raves and raves. At the Snook Meeting on the 27th some of the sisters present who tasted that Oatmeal Cake wanted to know when the Vestnik would print it. So, through the courtesy of Sister Alice Boudny, she has sent in the recepe as she made it and which Vestnik is most happy to pass on to you.

Oatmeal Cake One and one-fourth cups boiling water poured over one cup or rolled oats.

Let stand about twenty minutes.

In the meanwhile, cream one-half cup shortening or butter with one cup white and one cup brown sugar, and two eggs.

Beat well and add the oatmeal mixture Sift together one and one-third cup flour, with one-half teaspoon salt, one teaspoon of baking soda, one teaspoon cinnamon and to the oatmeal it(ixture 'Then add one teaspoon of vanilla ex'tract and one-half cup of nuts, (chopped) if desired. Beat until smooth I' into an, oblong pan and bake at -350 ! !grees F. for about 40 minutes. Cover Broiled Frosting.

The Broiled Frosting is made from six tablespoons butter, ono-!fourth cup cream, one-half cup brown sugar, onehalf teaspoon vanilla extract, one cup fresh cocoanut and one cup nuts. Mix above ingredients together and spread on warm, baked cake. Brown under` broiler. Cut into squares.

In conclusion Sister Boudny comment!!. ed that "If everyone who went to Camp Tahuaya that Sunday 'enjoyed the day as much as the Boudnys, they went home with the idea or returning next year."

Our sincere thanks to Sister Alice for sharing this easy to make, delicious cake.

It was very nice meeting Miss Alice and her sister, both of them work in Austin, and belong to the Taylor Lodge, Praha No. 29. Their parents the. A. L. Boudnys are active in lodge work in that Lodge, after first having reared a large, fine family Of girls and boys.

Well, our farMers at West have begun harvesting for real. First the maize, now the corn is being shelled, fields followed and cotton defoliated. I noticed some cotton wagons in the gin yard this morning while going to town, so the busy season is here While the weather is hot and dry, giving our flower gardens the decrepit look, the ,barns are beginning to groan with the bountiful harvest. It is a pleasure to watch some of our farmers operate. As soon as the crop is cleared off the land, it's plowed up. Time value of residue on the land is appreciated by these husbandrymen, for they cart cotton burs back onto the field for plowing under and humus. They know that to get abundantly of the field, they must put Something back; this has been the practice of the Czech farm ancestry for centuries. They had a set-up where they converted straw and cow manure from the barns into liquid fertilizer with which they sprayed ther growing crops, otherwise, their fields would have long ago quit bearing.

Dear Readers and Writers: Cotton picking is on the "go" in full swing, but this year the farmers are very disappointed, there is plenty of bolls on the older cotton but the late planted cotton has crippled bolls, so this year we farmers are not getting rich froin our cotton crop_ And as always, we hope next year will be a better one. Just so God gives us health and happiness and we shall all go forward again. Despite the poor crop and the approaching fall, as usual, the Bridal Showers and Weddings are being announced. Today I attended the Briday Shower for Miss Ludene Lusiner and Joe E.. Darilek, son of our Moulton High School Teacher and Mrs. E. E. Darilek. The wedding will take place in September in Yoakum. Catholic Church.

Too, picnics are popping up this fall again. I am to let you know, members of our lodge, there will be NO meeting the Second Sunday, Sept_ 10th, as the Moulton St. Joseph's Catholic Parish will have their Annual Picnic, as always, the second Sunday in September. Our Lodge meeting is, therefore, postponed to the Third Sunday in September, the 17th.

Please don't forget the date an,d try to attend our meetings.

In our last meeting some of the members were talking amongst themselves concerning having an old time picnic with sausages, pickles, bread, coffee and at least two kolaches. Wouldn't that be something? Reminder of old times. Why not?

At our next meeting let's do some thinking about this and see if we couldn't have it. Maybe if that was does blow up, next year we wouldn't feel like making anything — or maybe we won't be here.

Not long ago Mr. Frank Sabrsula passed away, Lots of people. from Kovar attended his funeral. His folks used to be neighbors with my- grandpa Holub How time flies, it seems we were kids just a short time ago.

YOUTH CLUB HOUSTON., TEXAS Dear Readers: On August 6, Lodge Stefanik 142 Youth Club had its monthly meeting. Our Youth Directors surprised us by giving us a wiener roast. I would like to thank our Youth Directors: Mrs. Melnar and Mrs. Chupik for giving us this party.

• BEAUMONT, TEXAS Dear Members and Friends: District 5 held their youth talent contest on Sunday, August 27, at Lodge 88,

Houston. The evening started out with an introduction to the guests and the judges. Brother Rudy Sefcik told us a little of the history of the judges which we all found most interesting and entertaining. The talent show began after several people made speeches.

Everyone paid very close attention to each person's talent, and were probably wondering 'now the judges were ever going to be able to make such a hard decision. Then came the last moments en everyone had to hold their breath because the judges were trying to decide the winners . Sister Maxine Sefcik introduced each contestant by number, name, lodge and parents. The decision was finally made! Sister Sefcik announced the winners to the waiting audience. The winner of the junior girls' division was Barbara Cerny. The winner of the senior girls' division was the present queen of District 5, Sister Linda Clawson. The crowd cheered for the winners. I want to congratulate the winners and the runner-ups and the other contestants for being such good sports.

Honest, I would have hated to have been a judge because I could not have made a decision, they were all so good. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for Linda Clawson when she goes th Taylor, Texa for the big finals.

I certainly enjoyed being present at the youth talent contest and I want to thank District V for inviting me. I also wan to thank District 5 for the lovely orchid, which. I am still enjoying . I also want to thank District 5 for reimbursing me on my expenses.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Taylor for the finals for the talent show.

Sincerely yours, Sandra Watson • 1,1, • (-BEYERSVILLE YOUTH CLUB OF LODGE 48 Dear Readers, Well, school starts Sept. 6 for me and back into the old grind Ha! Band practice for the last two months seems to make the starting of school old stuff.

Because of band practice, (and a few other time consuming activities) I didn't get around to writing about the August meeting of the Beyersville Youth Club.

In the meeting we decided to have a swimming party on August 12 at the Taylor City pool. A lot of the members failed to show up, but those of us who did had a lot of fun swimming and after the dip in the pool, eating a picnic lunch together.

In the August adult meeting I was selected to go to Camp Tahuaya and participate in the District II talent contest.
