V takoveto dobe nepretr gitYch rozbroifi je nezbytne, abychom my, Ameridane, nejen rozpoznali podle jmena a instinktern hodnoty, ktere branime, ale abychom jim i nalegite porozumeli. Tyto hodnoty projevuji se v povaze nail dy, jak se tato vyvinula z na geho revolueniho manifestu, Prohlageni neodvislosti, prostfednitetvim ftstavy a Listiny pray, prostfednictvim mnoha soudnich rozsudta, vyvinula tak, ze mame vlaidu lidu, lidem a pro lid, kterou se nam podle vlastniho pitesvedeeni 'doh stale vice rozvinouti.

Miliony lidi v jinYch zemich mysli na Ameriku jako na misto, kde nikdo netrpi hladem, kde dal chodi obuty, kde vlastni automobily.

projev

aseho presidenta (Informacni elanek) Kennedyho projev vyjadroval vizi polltickeho realisty. Vyjadroval vizi, protole v nem glo o onu budoucnost, kdy mezinarodni spoleeenstvi zalolene na svabode rozdilnYch narodnich systemn rozlepta a odstrani komunistickou uniformitu a snahy po vytvoreni svetoveho monolitu. A byla to vize politickeho realisty, protole se nezrodila jen ze slovy a z ticheho prani. Protole nebyla zalcZena na dogmatu, podle nehoZ neco v historii je a jine neni nevyhnutelne. Kennedy se opiral o fakta, ktera dnes existuji, a o schopnost svobadnYch lidi cilevedome yytvaret dal gi pozitivni skuteenosti.

Zakladnim faktem tohoto obdobi, rekl Kennedy, je revoluce narodni nezavislosti. Prvni tcuhou novYch narodti je potvrzeni a posileni narodniho charakteru. TouZi po svete, ye kterem by mohly resit sve vlastni problemy podle svYch vlastnich ideji a tradic, ale v girokem ramci mezinarodni spoluprace.

Komunismus ygechno zaklada na myglence monclitickeho sveta. Svet novYch narodil se s touto komunistickou prodstavou mezinarodniho radu neshoduje.

Kennedy ovgem nezfistal u teto oboene perspektivy. Zminil se i o tom, jak Jednotlive komunisticke staty nemaji jen sve vlastni akutni problemy krach zemedelske vYroby, rostouci nespokojenost mladeZe a inteligence, polada yky technickYch a vYrobnich predstavitelti. To je dtkaz, ze komunisticka uniformita neni schopna leeit socialni a mezinarodni problemy.

Kdo bedlive sleduje svetovY vyvoj, rekl Kennedy, nemitZe pochybovat, ze historicke proudy nesou svet smerem od uniformity k ideji pluralismu — k narodni rozlionosti v atmosfefe tolerance a spoluprace. A Kennedy znovu zdttraznil, ze Spojene staty si musi jednou uvedomit a ze si to uvedomuji. neni tilkolem Ameriky zmenit svet podle americkeho obrazu, nYbrZ prave podle one girgi vize sveta rozdilnosti, bohateho na narodni odstiny. A toto je spoleonYm jmenovatelem americke zahranieni politiky at' uZ jde o mezindrodni hospodafskou pomoc, jejinaZ diem je pomahat potfebnYm zeaby co nejrychleji staly na vlastnich, narodnich nohou, nebo at' jde o pomoc vojenskou, jejimZ koneenkm diem je dat jednotlivYm zemim manost branit a ubranit narodni nezavislost proti pokusfun o intervenci a chranit vnitrni procesy.

Takto gifgi historicka vize je pfekladana do denni politicks praxe, a i na-

dale ma byt uplatnovana jako hmata,telnY politicky cii. Koneene uz dnes je man° ukazat na konkretni vYsledky -Leto politiky a jejiho zakladnifto postoje — a toto je cesta spojujici Kennedyho projev s projevem Chestera Bowlese.

Chesterr Bowles mluvil ve Washingtonu o ptisobeni americke zahranieni politiky. Pronesl svou fee po navratu z testy Afrikou a Asii, kde nav gtivil celkem ledenact zemi jako zvlagtni vyslanec presidenta Kennedyno. Bowlesova zprava ukazuje, jak Asie zaeina napino chapat sterilitu komunistickelto ueeni — a jak se soueasne uei clitverovat SpojenYm stattim a poznavat, ze nejsou zemi, ktera by chtela vyuZit slabSich narodt. Bowles mluvil velmi konkretne. V Egypte se segel s Nasirem a s dal gimi politiky i na.rod.ohospodari, ktefi si uz uvedomili, ze komunismus neni schopen fe git sloZite egyptske problemy. Ukazal na to, jak v Indii i v Pakistanu demokratickY system stale vice pronika i do malYch obci a je eileveclome posilovan. TentyZ vyvoj se jevi v Iranu pri provadeni pozemkovYch reforem. V jihovYchodni Asii neutralni KambodZa je .dalgim kladem zeme, kterd provady socialni i po liticke reformy a vtiei cstatnimu svetu si uchovava svou nezavislost.

Bylo by moZno imenovat celou fadu dalgich drobnYch i velkYch proudil, ktere uz dnes se projevuji na celem svete a ukazuji claleko do budoucnosti. Spojene staty si uvecloinuji jejich existenci i smer a jejich zahranieni politik y je posiluje a pomaha jim rust. Ale takto videna, Kennedyho politicka vize pfestava byt vizi a meni se v pevnY, vyhraneny politickY program akce.

FROM THE Easter U. o. A. Again this year, as in generations past, America is poised for the Easter Observances throughout her width and breadth, to revere this time of "Beginning" this "rebirth" and man's eternal struggle for hope and faith in his divinity and oneness with his God. The season too, springs forth with a vigorous, green freshness which lends emphasis to this "beginning."

In our own lodges, too, plans are being made to observe this Easter Observance with Easter Egg Hunts, egg rolls, and other games. Prizes for the most eggs, the prettiest baskets, the hardest shell egg, and the finding of the Prize Egg, will all be observed. It is a gala occasion and it is a fine time to utalize many of the pullet eggs which new batches of hens are bringing on. ChiL)clren love "baby" anything — even baby eggs, especially if they are colored. Then too, a lot of them get trampled on, get half-eaten and thrown away and oftentimes mashed on the Hall floor. But. all in all, it is a beautiful time of the year for everyone — young and old.

Would that with the coming of Eastertime, you dear brothers and sisters would send your prayers to those less fortunate than we are; those who are struggling ,for a place in the sun, a free land and good clean air to breathe as God intended all of earth's children should have.

May the Eastertime also be a "beginning" time for you and yours, with renewed hope and strong faith in the future which is ours to have. Have a Happy Easter is the sincere wish of your Editor.

Makes a person feel better right away; plenty of grass though; the ground is full of it. But, if we don't have grass you can say we don't have anything.

Our last Meeting was pretty well attended and like always, we all recited the pledge to the flag and then the meeting was called to order.

The minutes were read from the last meeting and were approved as read. We had a discussion — some things that had to be fixed for the District Meeting and then we discussed what we were going to serve and other matters.

Strand 20 In our Meeting we had a visitor, brother Sabrsula who is a brother to Sister Mary Trlica.

Then came the Easter Egg Hunt, but there were very few Children and those rabbits sure didn't lay very many eggs this year. I guess they weren't fed with corn.

And last, was a good lunch and cofifee. Thanks to our sisters for the good food. We escpecially thank sister Mollie Barina for Baking such a nice Easter Rabbit. He had layed a bunch of eggs, which were all around him.

Sister Mollie Barina gave it to a little girl by the name of Debbie Hofferek of Bryan. Maybe little Debbie will become one of our members. After Debbie got the rabbit, she told her mother: "Now I feel better."

We lost a member again. It was Siser Frances Lesikar of Smithville. Our sympathy to the family.

I must end this and go to work.

Brother Anton Pavelka gave a report on the Ball Club. New ball equipment was recently purchased by Brother Antone and Bob Tlusto,s. A motion was made and seconded that the mother lodge pay for the Ball equipment. The amount Was $57.30 and Brother Antone thanked the lodge and asked for support in the Ball Club. A volley ball and badmitton set was purchased by Youth Club, funds for the girls of the Youth Club. Brother Zalman stated we may smooth out the parking lot area on the west side of the building and put up a volley ball court for the two age groups.

In late evening we crossed into Mississippi on Highway No. 90; once again we shopped at a Souvenir shop, a few miles from Bay St. Louis. we crossed a toll bridge and we began to drive along the Mississippi Sound to Mobile, 'Alabama.

To the visitor, Mississippi s a land of cham where the magnolia, azalea, oleander, wisteria, camellia and poinsetta bloom. Spanish moss drapes oaks, which stand before historic mansions and huge knobby-kneed cypresses are reflected in the black waters Of the Bayous. About 6:30 we decided to stop for coffee and a snack and Frances was unable to find her billfold. So the only thing for us to do was go back to the souvenir shop (90 miles) and try to locate the billfold. So, once again we went across the state of Mississippi and luck was with us, the owner had found it. We didn't travel any more that night and the good honest people reserved us a motel room a little way down the road; after all, there still are honest people in the world. Frances had to have her billfold as it cantained her leave papers, driver's license, car title and money.

Early Sunday, morning we left Bay St. Louis, and drove for 19 hours. We arrived at Columbia, South. Carolina by 12:30 that night. Alabama lies in the heart of the Deep South. We saw the great docks and ship yards of cemitropical Mobile. Negroes make up 32 per cent of the population, but aS I looked at it, it seemed a larger percentage. A wide variety .cf crops are grown on Alabama farms. Usually most, if not all the work is done by the farmer and his family.

Cotton, corn, pecans, oats, sugar cane, tobacco and truck farming are the main crops grown in this state. We crossed into Georgia at Columbus, Georgia, and kept on at a steady pace through Macon, and on to Agusta, Ga. The state of Georgia is called the Peach State and it is really a true name, for as one drives along the road, you can see acres and acres of peach orchards already in bloom. If the frost doesn't get these early blossoms, there will be plenty of Georgia peaches. on the market. The roads through this state are winding and our speed was slowed down. Sunday night, we spent the night at Columbia, South Carolina, the state Capitol. As we were tired after 19 hours of driving we got us a room at a hotel across the street from the State Capitol.

Early Monday morning we started an

VESTNtK—WEST, TEXAS our way, our last day of travel. We took the shortest route possible to Virginia.

In the North and South Carolinas we saw the Negroes flat-breaking the fields, mostly with two mules and walking behind the plow. Most of the families are sharecroppers and living in shanties (roughly built houses and unpainted).

We also saw small plots of tobacco in the fieds, hot beds and they had them covered with cloth to protect them from frost. I never did think that the Negro population is so great, but when we got out of Texas, I saw for myself. Most of the towns that we travelled through and along the countryside; nothing but colored people. They have large, modern schools in every town and along the road at the school bus stops — never a white child.

We crossed into Virginia about 4:00 o'clock Monday evening. We were both glad to see the sign "Virginia" as we were getting tired of driving. It took quite a while from Suffolk through South Norfolk and Norfolk before we got to the Hampton Roads Bridge and Tunnel. It was quite an experience for Frances to drive through this tunnel beneath the Chesapeake Bay, but as we got out of it, there was Fort Monroe just a little way from us. Fort Monroe was a beautiful site to see, as it was all lighted for the night. In the Chesapeak Bay we saw large carriers, as Norfolk has the largest Naval Air Station in the world. We got a warm welcome from all of the WAGS as they were all glad that Frances had arrived safely. Immediately the Sergeant called the "Guest House" and reserved a room for me. I stayed three days on the Post and in the evenings we would go off Post with several of the WAGS. I enjoyed my stay at the Post as it is a historical one.

Fort Algervourve (indistinct) was constructed in 1609. I was eventually succeeded by Fort George. Fort Monroe, the third fort to be built on Old Point Comfort was begun in 1819. The massive fortifications still overlook the channel, but the only guns heard today are the ones used to signal reville and retreat.

The Post is still of great importance, for it is the headquarters of the United States Continental Army Command, which is responsible for the ground defense of the United States.

Fort Monroe was designed by General Simon Bernard, military engineer and former aide to Nepoleon. The fort was built on a reservation of 282 acres ceded to the Federal Government by Virginia in 1818. It was named in honor of,President James Monroe. A moat, one and one fourth miles around, 60-150 feet wide surround the Fort. One enters the fort

Wednesday, April 18, 1962 by a Sallyport. A Sallyport is a gate from which the garrison can rush forth to attack the beseigers.

I left Newport News, Virginia on March 22, at 7:30 p.m by bus. This time the route was to Novflok, Va., Raleigh, N.C., i tlanta, Ga., Montgomery, Ala., Mississippi, New Oreans, La., Houston and then to Corpus Christi.

In Atlanta I got acquainted with a lady from Corpus Christi.

The trip was well worth my time and I hope someday that all of any family can make this trip. Frances will be stationed et Fort Monroe until she finishes her three year enlistment.

We are in dire need of rain. In our locality it hasn't rained but .25 of an inch this yearand the last rain was had when Hurricane Carla blew. Some farmers have their crops growing but those that have re-bedded their fields, don't have a chance, unless it rains. We dry planted the cotton and most of the grain was put into the government program. In Nueces County 1300 farmers out of 150 signed up for diversion. Everybody says that this will be a year never to be forgotten as it is dry — so far —it is the worst since 1917. It will be rough for everyone as the farmer is the backbone of the nation.

We are still hoping that it will rain in' time for the cotton to come up but it is getting rather late even for that.

Will close for now, and write more about the District Meeting later.

Fraternally, Betty Jurica )*"•( LODGE NO. 73 SEYMOUR, TEXAS There is a new Youth Club in District IV. Children from Lodge 73 Seymour, organized a Youth Club on April 1, 1962 at the Lodge Hall. Tthe Youth Leader is 1VIrs,.. Raymond Pavfiska, and her assistant is Mrs. Frank Marek. Sixteen children made up the Club. They are as follows: Joe Kocurek, Jerry Macha, Edward March, Eddie Joe Pavliska, Janet Pavliska„ Peggy Simaichl, Helen Tom.. anek, Mary Jane Marek, David Hajik, Jim Tomanek, Carol Hajek, Arlene Hajik, Kevin Ermis, Tommy Ermis, Joan Hejl, John Hejl.

These are the officers: President, Joe Rocurek; Vice-President; Janet Pavliska; Secty.-Treas., Jerry Macha; Reporter Edward Marek. On the Entertainment Committees, Helen Tomanek, David Hajek, Eddie Joe Pavliska; Refreshment Committee, Peggy Semaich, Joan Hell, Mary Jane Marek.

We are hoping that some of the other children who were not present Sunday will want to join by next meeting. They

Wednesday, April 18, 1962 Will meet the same Sunday that the Mother Lodge Meets.

We are hoping these chidren starting now in their young age will enjoy the activities of the Lodge as they grow older.

The two youth leaders will help plan, various activities during the year for their enjoyment. We are all going to help get these children started.

So hope some of you other Lodges in District IV will try to organize a youth club so we can carry this Youth program; out like the other six Districts do. I'm sure that out of the 10 Lodges, we could. 'have several active Youth Clubs. We need. at least one more club so we can compete on the District level and then we could go to the State Contest. Then we could also plan an achievement day for our next District IV Meeting, and these children could show what they have done and are able to do.

I would be happy to bear from. some Lo.dge pertaining to this youth movement started in our District IV. Let are hear from you please.

Fraternally, Mrs. Ed. Haisler e As • ( WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: West just got a million dollar rain as far as the gardens and perhaps young farm crops are concerned. It was slow and easy and soaked in. Everything is alive and fresh, even the birds sound happier as, of course, are our hearts.

Of course, the weeds too, will be springing up but it will be a pleasure working among the flowers.

Now, in fact in March, was chrysanthemum transplanting time, however, our late freezes nipped back all of the tender young sheots coming up whiCh killed and retarded new growth. Perhaps now, the plants will send out new shoots so that they can be divided and transplanted.

In making the rounds in my garden I noticed that my Blaze climbing rose was budding and soon will be a Blaze of red roses. With the help of some old-fashioned barn yard "booster" they should be in their glory.

This year I'm concentrating on tnose which do best in this particular locality.

Since I've been in West, I've tried to grow the old-fashioned lilac and it has been skimpy and constantly 'mildewy, whereas near Dallas it grew beautifully, lush and full leaved, with an abundance of sweet smelling clusters of lilac which the bees especially loved. So, as one experiments, the not-sa-good weed themselves out. No use to wast time and worry on them when so many others do so well.

VESTN1K -- WEST, TEXAS

I know all of you girls are enjoying your gardens, for acearding to the weatherman, this rain was statewide.

Anyway it will give your hands a rest for a day or so, and our broken fingernails a chance to mend. I've not yet learned to work in the dirt with gloves and consequently my fingernails suffer.

It is a small price to pay for a lovely garden for the rest of the year, though.

Many of you will have lots of beets in your gardens this summer. Beets too, are welcomed at bArbecues etc., in your lodge feasts, so here are two recipes fsc beets which you might try out on your family that are different. Then it they go over, perhaps your lodge would like to try them out at one of their feasts.

Beets in Wine Heat two tablespoons of butter; onefourth cup of dry red wine; three table-spoons of honey; one-fourth teaspoon ground cloves; one-half teaspoon grated orange rind. Add one can (one pound) tiny cooked beets. Drain, off beet water.

Heat and then let stand in warm place fifteen minutes to blend . flavors. This will serve four persons.

Sour Beet Shreds In a saucepan put: four cups shredded raw beets, two tablespoons butter; one teaspoon sugar; two tablespoons water; one tablespoon vinegar; cover and cook over medium heat 10 minutes or Until beets are tender but still crisp. Stir twice with fork during cooking. Season with salt and pepper. This also makes four servings.

White bermuda onion rings, thinly sliced and added to the above also would make a wonderful variation.

The Editor warns me, don't write anymere, so if this is to get into the Vestnik before the fall snow comes, perhaps I'd better bid you "Bye" for now.

Have a nice weekend and stay beautiful.

YOUTH CLUB FROM LODGE NO. 84 DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters, In a world filled with competition, advancement, and greed it is very difficult to find human beings . who share their gifts and blessings with others.

Moreover, in a race to "keep up with the Jonses" too little attention is given to our youth particularly the wee ones.

However, we need only go as far as West, Texas, to find two people who increase our faith in human nature and Who make us believe that miracles still do happen, Truly, they can be called "miracle workers" who make a two year dream come true for young people.

I am, referring, of course, to Brother and Sister Joe Holasek who gave to us an answer to our prayers and an end to our hopes and aspirations.

The Younth of District Three will never in all their lives be able to• repay the Holaseks for their warm hearts and for their wondeuful spirit of generosity.

We will never be able to thank them enough for giving to us the camp-site we have beeln searching for for two long years.

To Brother and Sister Holasek, we send our most sincere thanks and we ask that God above will make your lives the happiest possible and that all your hopes and dreams come true as ours have.

God bless you both with health, happiness, and, all of the very best now and always.

The hat was made for mardboard and lace paper doillies, with a yellow ribbon band tied in a bow to match the yellow eggs and chick. I had lots of (fun making my center piece and hope we have more contests like this.

I have been busy working on my home project for Homemaking also. I planted flowers in a planter box and I am also making desserts for our family on the weekends. For our meeting Sunday I am going to make muffin cakes and top them with little yellow chicks. I love to make things is one reason I try so hard. to enter every contest and work toward home projects like I do.
