A z te prieiny prohloubila se mezi obemi gvekru gemi propast, kterou nedovedla pteklenouti ani vzajemna srdeenost a uptimnost.

Brother Charles Cerny, District Five ?resident, convened the meeting and , •equested Brother Richard Christ to lead in the Pledge of Allegiance to the nig of the United States of America. Brother Cerny then announced that, in all siacerity, he disqualifies himself to cos duet the meeting inasmuch as he is engaged in a competitive enterprise in tl e insurance field whien may be conflicting or contrary to existing rules and regulations of the SPJST. Brother Cerny requested Vice President A. V. Franek to conduct the meeting.

Brother Frantic assumed the gavel and conducted the meeting. To Brother Cerny: For the Officers of the District and the members, in the interest of unity, we are grateful for your concern in the betterment of relations among the fraternal spirit. I might add that Brother Cerny contacted the Officers before the meeting was convened and request ed that he would not be required to conduct the meeting.

The Secretary then made the roll call of Officers. All Officers were present.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and accepted. Brother Franek then called for the report of the District President. Brother Cerny expressed his thanks to the other District Officers for their cooperation during the past year and acknowledged Lodge 142 and Lodge 81 for hosting the District meeting during his tenure of office. Brother Franek, Vice President, reported that he was unable to attend the fall meeting due to illness but enjoyed his work with the Officers as he received full cooperation at all times. Brother E. J. Hanka, 2nd Vice President, emphasized the importance of youth work in the SPJST as that is the future of our organization.

Brother Hanka attenclocl other District meetings and encouraged other District members to do so. Following Brother Hanka, the Secretary and Treasurer made their reports. Sister Maxine Sefcik, District Five Youth Director, reported on the youth activities for the past year and expressed her thanks to those who assisted her in any way. She announced that Sister Christ would present a youth, program following the noon recess.

Brother Franek then recognized Brother R. A. Urbanaysky who announc

VESTNIK—WEST, TEXAS ed that Brother Edward Marek was attending the fifty year celebration of Lodge 10'r at Floresville and Brother Joe Hejny was attending the function of Lodge 48 at Beyersville. Brother Urbanovsky informed the large attendance at the meeting that the Headquarters is cognizant of the work being done by District Five and that District Five sold almost 40 per cent of policy value insurance in the Order during the past year. Brother Urbanovsky complimented the work of the Youth Director and the Organizers for their efforts to achieve this distinction. Brother Urbanovsky announced that Brother Koliha and Brother Kacir would be present later. Brother Ben Zabcik then expressed his pleasure at being present in the district that has the largest lodge in the State of Texas and he compared the ratings of SPJST with other organizations in the fraternal orders.

Report of District Five Organizer: Brother Jarda Cerny was then requested to make his report. Brother Cerny expressed his thanks to those who assisted in -helping, not only to achive the goal set; but, to surpass it. He reported on the efforts extended of reviving the inactive lodges to participate in the sale of insurance but the lack of cooperation is evident. It is his desire to awaken all twenty lodges in the District to show interest and to cooperate in the future.

Brother Franek then recognized Brother August Kacir who spoke briefly to the members. Brother Kacir recognized the interest shown in District meetings as evidenced by the large attendance. He complimented District Five for their work in the past and wished us well in the future.

Brother Franek then recognized Brother Win. N.esuda, and Sister Wilma Nesuda of District Three. Sister Nesuda is the very capable Youth Director of that District as evidenced by her very capable and well presented orientation pertaining to youth activities. Sister Nesuda had a very clever idea of showing us of what she spoke. She held a

Strana 13 brochure and as she spoke she turned a page which illustrated her diction to convey her message. Brother Nesuda stated that it has been, his desire to attend a District Five meeting and he is glad that his wish has come true to be here. Brother Leo Krause, District Six Organizer and President, was recognized and tae meeting adjourned for the noon meal.

Brother Kolilia had a very imprassive speech which he presented. in the Czech language. He pointed out the importance -their work, their effort and their interests in the fraternal order has played to make the SPJST what it is today.

Brother Koliha's speech will be made a part of the minutes of District Five. Following the presentation the honorees received a 'standing ovation from the large gathering.

District Five voted to furnish a room at the Rest Home and I am sure you will see the announcement in the Vest, nik soon as the undersigned has received an acknowledgement from the Treasurer. In this connection all members of the SPJST can be proud of the Rest Home at Taylor as it is one of the best in the state of Texas, bar none.

Brother Franek then requested Brother Milo Karel, Director of Hlahol, to announce the Czech play at Lodge No. 88 on May 27. Brother Karel invited all Fifty-Year Members to attend without charge and invited all other members interested in Czech plays to be with us.

I might add that on May 27th the hall was filled to capacity and of this we of District Five are proud and we thank you for letting us know that Czech, plays will continue.

We are all glad of the recovery from their illness of Sfster Joe B. Hejny and Sister Hattie Koliha and are very sad for only this afternoon cur Editor's wife, Mrs. L. 0. Hosek, was taken ill. That is why I, Johnny Pokladnik, was requested to report on this event.

Johnny Pokladnik Editor's note: The Elk Bobcats had chartered a special bus to take them to this Youth Activity Day to challenge all contenders at a ball game. They were all in uniform and looked good. The Editor and wife are grateful for young Johnny Pokladnik.'s efforts in giving Vestnik's readers a picture of this gala Coronation Ball, the Youth all dressed in their lovely formals, handsome escorts in white or dark coats and bow ties — we think Johnny did a real good job of reporting, this being his first try. It is our sincere regret that at the last moment we had to look for a doctor instead of enjoying the day with you wonderful folks in District Three. Better luck next time. With dope and bedrest, we will be okay in time. Thanks for your understanding. )0(

Beauty Is As It Was That Night

Strana 15 The parade of the Royal Court was led by our radiant Miss SPJST of Texas, Sandra Watson, who wore a beautiful white chiffon gown trimmed with rinestones with a sparkling crown denoting her high excellence which she exerted in her charm, personality, and especially in the speech, she most beautifully delivered at the end of the program. Her escort, Bob Dobesh, was handsomely dressed and gallantly guided her down the aisle. Following was our past District Queen of 1962, Linda Clawson, who wore a lovely ensemble of black and presented a lovely picture especially when she crowned the winning princess; she was escorted by proud-appearing Lonnie Lostak. Each group consisting of a princess, escort, duke and duchess then proceeded down the aisle according to the following order of Lodges 81, 88, 91, 139, and 142.

The breath-taking moment arrived with awaiting silence — the new queen approached her throne. Her gown of white and gold brocade suited her newly gained royalty!
