eleni nagi Jednoty jiste porozumi, ze toto eislo Vestniku bez redaktora bude ukazovat ureite nedostatky. Vydavatele se omlouvaji a zaroveri slibuji, ge se pokusi, aby vykonali, co bude v jej ich moci. Toto kratke vysvetleni jde od srdce a nadeji, ze bude bratrsky prijato.

• • slygime, ze Vestnik je zrcadlem 6asto nageho bratrskeho spolku. Tato pkirovsnad by se mohlo dopinit. Nag organ ma dvoji noel. Jednak zve k praci, jednak podava zpravy, jak byla prace vykonana. Organ je tedy jako zvonek, kter y' void k bohoslugbam, a take jako oznamovatel, kolik lidi se k bohoslug -bamdostavilo.

11.

.e

Nikdy vgak neslyg ime, ze zvont v kostelni vegi neni tioba, proto ge kagdy vi, ze sedmy den je nedele. Hlas zvont je pripomenutim. To pripomenuti plati stejne pro toho, kdo je nabo gensky vlag -ny,jakoprth,kdosprav oti vykonava nabo genske tkony. Hlas spolkoveho organu je ten plipomenutim. A stejne plati pro toho, kdo here podil na spolkove, praci j ako pro toho, kdo je vlagnY a nevgimavY ke vgemu, co podnika.

• • kika se, ze neni muzika jako muzika.

Podobne by se mohlo iIci v nagem spolkovem ruchu, ze neni bratr jako bratr.

Nekteremu bratru stadi to, ze ma givotni pojigteni. A ktomu lacine givotni pojigteni, jake jinde nedostane. Jen ge v bratrskem spolku je poji gteni j en jako dlevena noha. Ta staci, aby se elovek podeplel, ale dfevena noha nezna rozdilu mezi vedrem a mrazem. Drevend noha neciti, ne gije, ani se nehSrbe. Na drevene note ani kornar si nepochutna. Takovou podporu maji v gichni ti, kdo v bratrskem spolku jsou vSrhradne pro latine givotni pojigteni.

• • Nag spolkovY givot je vice ne g same dfevene nohy. OpravdovSi spolkovST givot je bratrska spoluprace, spojeni rukou k yzaj emne podpoke. Vzajemne a spoleene postavily se spolkove mistnosti, fadove sine. Byly to stay-by a mistnosti ne piin g nakladne, ale bylo to misto, v ladin g se soustfed'ovaly nej givej gi pokusy tado“Tch bratfi, aby jejich givot nebyl nadobro v gedni a suchY..

Spolkove sine a mistnosti nagYvame stfedisko, toti g misto shroma gd'ovani a schtizi. Stfedisko j e misto, do nehog se neco sbiha, kam se schazeji a shroma g-

d'uji ti, kdo maji stejne snahy a cite, stargi i mladsi, aby je drgela pohromade spoleend myglenka, ureita, spoluprace.

Je prirozene, ze stark Nov& ochabuje ye sve einnosti. Mtge to bYt v jeho dennim za,mestnani nebo v jeho bratrsky spolupraci. Ka gdY Cloy& ma nejakY cil.

Bud' toho sveho die dosahne, nebo se mu jeho touha nevypini. 6asto prijde zklamani a elovek se vzdava nadeje, ze dile dosahne. Jestli cil je pro v geobecne blaho a dobro, bez jakekoliv hmotne of penegni nahrady, dlovek dasto se zlekne sveho sna geni, upusti od spoleene prace, zahorkne a zustava stranou. Mame v nagem spolkovem snageni ldosti takovYch, kteri byli hodne zklamani a ztstall znechuceni, rozmrzeni a rozhneva,ni stati stranou. .

• Do na gich spolkovy. ch sinl potlebujeme mladou generaci. Prave tim, ze stargi Glen nebo ladovST tkednik phi mnoha letech einnosti ztrati naladu, bYva east° zklarnan, je treba mlad gich sil, aby ptebrali spolkove povinnosti. Zavadenim programt m l a de g e, organisovanim mladgich skupin v jakekoliv spolkove einnosti, obnovujeme a nahrazujeme praci tech star gich elent, kteti easem unidlevaji nebo chteli by plenechat praci mladgim.

• • Pled prvni sveto you valkou byla nage Jednota vedena lidmi a firedniky, ptinesli s sebou ze sveho stareho rodigte tehdej gi gptsoby vedcni spolkri a organisaci. To byli na gi prtkopnici, ktehi pologili zaklady dnegni mohutne Jednote. Ti z nich, kteli jegte jsou mezi nami, tegi se rictyhodnemu veku jako petasedmdesatnici, petaosmdesatnici, nekterSr bligi se jig k devadesatce. Nemeli bychom jich pfehli geti. Jejich bYvala, ochota, jejich drivej gi nendrodnost a spolkove nad genimelo by bYti vzpomenuto. Jsou zaznamy, kdy jsou jejich narozeniny, kdy ptistoupili do mistniho Iddu, bylo by zahodno ptipra yit pro ne phij emne pPekvapeni.

Ve sttedu, dne 7. listopadu 1962 ANIJSE 1VIITTENHUBROVA

Plana rule Divei Roman Pokraeovani, Na co dtive pH pilne praci ani nevzpomnel, jeliko2 se mu to zdalo bYti ptiliS nepatrnym a bezvyznamnym, to nyni east() ptiletelo k jeho mysli a vyeitave ptipominalo nesrdeene jednani k to male, opukene bytosti, ktera, mu byla jako schovanka bratrova nevitanou a jiZ v detinske sve uminenosti Wink' nenavidel.

Chtel pozdeji, aZ se Helena s RaZenkou z jihu vrati, vyZadati si dovolenou a ztraviti ji a milYch ptibuznYch, aby se ptesvedeil, ze idojem, ktery v nem RifZenka vzbudila, neni prchavY a bezueelnY. Chtel ji take bliZe poznati; ale pies to namel v ifmyslu fitoeiti nejak na jeji mladiekou mysl, chtel se jen presvedeiti, neskryva-li se za skvelYm, okouzlujicim zevnejSkem bezcenne talmi duge, chtel pkesvedeiti se, zda VSecko to opojeni, ktere se ho zmocnilo, neni jen pfechodnou Opisodou ,vzbuzenou earovne vabnYm, andelskYm zjevem bYvale, nepatrne plane rtikeky.

Neni-li dosud jen planou rixzi, slienou, vabnou, ale Vai vane vnittni hodnoty prostou! Snad to skvostna tezba vnej gku neskrYvala ani vlastni, canna jadro, ktere teprve rozhoduje o hodno'Le celku.

Do techto rozpora jeho du ge vpadlo zbrojeni a neblahy ptijezd milovaneho bratra. Mimo vAe nad'ani octl se dtive v mesteeku pod zadumanSrm Bezdezem.

A RaZenka zjevila se mu v nove, jege libeznejk a rortomilejH podobe, neZ za pfechodneho, kratiekeho setkani. v Praze.

Jak si rozkane poeinala„ jak ji sluAela aloha hospodyriky.

Helena ani neutkla, jak mocne pfisobi jeji chvalozpevy o milovane schovance na nahle zamilovaneho, mladeho e'vakra.

RfiZenka venovala tamer Vaecku syou pozornost malemu bratrankovi, havotila s nim neusta,le a tazala se ho teZ, co mu tatinek ptivez1 z daleke Ameriky.

"Rilzne drobnosti!" odpovedela za syndeka pani Rena, "aZ vybalime vaky, 'fikaZeS RaZence sve hraeky, vid', Jireeku!"

"A take americke praporky!" chlubil se chlapeeek. "Ty take dostana dva!" prozradil sve soused'ce.

"Ano, praporeeky ony posila varn, to jest vkm nim damam. . ." usmala se stavitel, "mistres Houchinova, laskava

VESTNfK— WEST, TEXAS ' chat' meho sefa, jako srdeene pozdravy Verne Amerieanky eeskym sestram. Jsou to male hedvabne vlajky a hodi , se dobte za nastennou ozdobu, jak kern. .11 take u mistres Houchinove vide'. Laskapani pomohia mi vybirati , i ostatni rdzovite idrobnosti a Idareeky a doufam, ze se vam vesmes zatibi. MahZele Houchinovi byli Tide nanejvY'S laskavi, dobti a srdeeni a jejich ptieinenim zalibilo se mi na druhe polokouli tak, ze jsem se rozhodl zajeti si do Evropy pro Trenu a Jitieka a ptistoupiti pak za spoleenika gefovy firmy, coZ mi nabizel on sam.

Houchinovi, jim2. zemtel jedinY synaeek, teSili se velice na Jitieka. Po ttech mesicich mel jsem se vratiti. V tuto dobu chtel jsem take zahrnouti fizeni obchodnich zalektosti v Patik, LondYne a Berline a zatim? Co tomu asi mistr Houchin kika? A co ptitel jeho a nraj, poctivy Aiken!" vzpominal Jindfich a tvat jeho zvarZnela.

Po svaeine Jitieek touZil ven, do zahrady, v eenrZ mu RriZenka vyhovela, ptesvedoivk se dtive, ze se husa peee.

Vika byla poslana na koupi do mesta a RtZenka si uminila, ae vZdy ze zahrady dohledne, zda-li jest Vae v kuchyni v potadku.

Ale jen jednou vykonala tuto dohlidku, pak pri hrani s eilYm bratrankem zcela zapomnela na povinnost hospodynky, ja se ujala s takovou ochotou.

Ve spoleenosti Jitikove byla opet veselYm, skotaeivYm ditetem, ktere neuznava ZadnYch starosti.

Nejdfive se malYm bratrankem houpala a pak spolu zahradnieili na caste u drateneho plotu, odkudZ se take divali silnici, pod vyvYgenou zahradou belici, kterd mela dnes zcela jiny raz, neZ obvykle.

Pies fu chvili pfe,§el nekdo kolem, vystra:§enY, smutny, osudu svemu odevzdanY. MuZi zachmutenych tvati a oei vykladali o vake, Zeny se sizami, po licich kanoucimi, namnoze i hlasite nakikaly a bedovaly.

Vesely, klidnY obraz minula zmizel; silnice, jako hlavni cesta do B. . . a k nadrak, netrhla se chodci. Brandi sice vetginoa jrZ v pondeli, poslu gni cisatova zavolani, spechali za svou brannou povinosti, ale.mnozi z nich, vlaZnejk a neohrolenejAi, trousili se jeAte dnes ku svym posadkam do Boleslave nebo do Turnova.

RilZenka give hovotila s Jitikem, pletla mu veneeky, upravovala v pisku na ceste zahonky s na,bodanYmi sedmikraskami, tu a tam okra glenyrni i kvetinou ze zahonkft utrZenou.

PH hie eas kvapil a RilZenka se v'ecka polekala, kdy se podle ni ozval

9 hle hlas JarolUv, vykizujici vzkaz Heleny, ze osiiela kuchyri void po vladkyni.

"Ach, ja jsem zcela zapomnela, le odeHa Vika do mesta!" omlouvala se divka, zardevk se do krvava. Povstala rychle a rozpakte si uhladila bilou zasterku.

"Jitieku, poj d', ptijdee k matinee!"

"Ne matinku, tebe chci!" volal "Ale ja musim prye a. ty tu sam ziistat neinfila!"

"Nepustim te!" krieel umineny hoLik a drZel RtirZenku za sukne.

"Jitieku, bud' bodriy, matinka me vola, muslin take poslouchati!" napomenula divka hoSika. "Podivej se, strYeek zilstane u tebe a bade si s tebou hrb.ti!" dodala jaksi nerozhodne.

"Myslig me, Rillenko?" ozval se Jarola, sleduje s fleasti tento malY boj. "Ku hrani s detmi nemam, bohu g'el, vloh, radeji ti pomohu v kuchyni, dovoliSAi!" nabizelse l'ertem.

Vzhledla k nemu a zavrtela prudce rozko'Snou hlavinkou, ze nad zati, vychazejici z pod paprska sluneenich z jejich musil a2 oei "Toho neni. tfeba!"

"Nedfivetujeg mi? V Praze si take ledacos uvatim, kdy'l se mi veeer z domu nechce."

A Jarola vypoeitaval nekolik hohernskSrch jidel, jeZ dovedt upraviti.

"Darmo byste mi pfeka gel!" kekla Rillenka se ztejmYm pohrdanim, "Byste mi? Od kdy pak sleena RAlenka Jarolovi vyka?" tazal se, pristouply as k ni, a pohledl ji s asmevem do oei.

"Od one chvile, kdy ji rozum dope'!" odvetila hrde mlada, divka. "Wive se opieila proste po druhYch, ale ted' ma, jig svili fisuidek a nazor. Kdyby jej byla mela dfive, nebyla by varn nikdy tykala, jak je to zvykem u osob ptibuznYch, obapolne sobe milYch a dukvne si blizkYch.

"StrYeku? IfFdyt' jsi kekla, ze nejsme ptibuzni?"

RilZenka se zarazila.

Ovgem, nebyli pokrevnimi pfibuznY mi, Jarola nebyl vlastne jejim stryekem, jako jim nebyl ani strYc Jindrich. Jak by mu v gak mela rikati?"

"StrYeka Jindru nazYvam take takl" "Ovg em, ale toho take za strYce uznayak kdato j a jsem ti kYmsi docela cizim, neptijemnYm, zbyteenYm, Fe tomu tak?" tazal se napiate mladY muF. Zarazila se na okamFik nad temito rortrpeenYmi slovy, ale pak rychle, fiseene ptikyvla.

"Jsem ti tedy opravdu zcela cizi, tak jako bys me videla poprve, ei nenavidig me snad, jako nejakeho nepritele?"

"Ne, to se mylite, cizi mi nemilFete tak zcela bYt, ponevadF vas znam jiF dlouho a take vas nemohu nenavideti, protoFe nikoho nenavidim a zvla gte vas ne, nebot' jste bratrem meho draheho tatieka, jenz vas ma velice velice rad.

"Tedy proto, ae jsem ti tak nanejvYg lhostejnYm, nechce g me nazYvati ncm, jako drive a stavi g mezi nas cizi "vy", a to prave nyni, kdy se mi zda, Fe jsi nine blizsi, neF kdy jindy."

"Ne, ne, tomu zajiste tak neni," branila se uroite RtiFenka. "Nevideli jsme se dva roky a jiste po celY ten eas vzpomnel jste vy tak malo na mne, jako ja, na vas!"

"To je moZne, ale "Nebyio srdeenosti mezi nami," pferugila jej Rtil2enka. "Nenavidel jste me vF.cly a ja, vim take pros."

"Ach, to jsem veru zveda y !" zvolal kousave.

"PonevadF jsem byla proste, zcela chude, bidne device, kdyF se mne pestouni ujali. Ano — a protoFe vy jste byl jemnYm, vzdelanYm panem. Ja dobfe vim, Fe me matinka s tatinkem pozvedli k sohe a darovali mi krasn r , drahy domov, ktery jste mi vgak vy nepral. — Stydel jste se, Fe vain tatinek dal ve mne takovou ubohou neter a byla jsem

A proto jste mi zustal zcela lhostejnYm, proto nemohu bYti k varn tak srdeenou, jak ke stryci Jindrovi, jenz se choval ke mne vzdy tak laskave a vlidne. Ne, ne nemohu!"

"Ueinil-li jsem kdy neco podobneho," pravil Jarola premahaje rozechveni, "nebylo to asi z drzvodu, jeF uvadi g, ale proste proto, Fes tehdy onen trest zaslouFila."

Pohledla nan vgecka se chvejic.

"Zapomeri na nase drivej gi, blahove neptatelstvi a podej mi ruku k smiru, chci napraviti vie, eim jsem se na tobe provinil, ale ty nesmis take zapominat, Fe bylo v tobe mnoho pfiein, jeF me popouzely a Fe tudiF v gecka vina nespada, na me."

Jinak bylo se strYekem Jindrou. Pro jeho laskavost, dobrotu a yzacnou shovivavost, s jakou se choval k zdivoeilemu diteti, ptilnulo k nemu proste srdce tohoto s celou vroucnosti, ktera, je naplriuje do dnes. Vim vgak, Fe jsem povinna pro ty druhe, ktere miluji a jim i vy jste drahYm, ueiniti nasili srdci svemu a chovati se k yam tak, aby matinka ani tatinek nepostrehli, Fe neni te shody mezi nami, jakou si vFdy miti ptali a proto, prosim vas," RtifFenka se nyni dilsledne vyhYbala, jakemukoli osloveni, "abyste si mne vgimal co moFna, ne j mene, tak jako drive.

VgSTNIK -- WEST, TEXAS

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOTRNT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED

1897

itSIN K —HERALD-

Wednesday, November 7, 1962

Reports from our Lodges, or any other Reading Material to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue.

Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. Box 100, TEMPLE, TEX.

From the Empty Chair It is too late to remind our members to go to the election booth, and vote. It is also true that the columns of the fraternal paper must not have any political discussion. On the other hand, the subject of active citizenship is never taboo here or anywhere else. To ignore the effects of elections is to place blinders on the readers of the Vestink. Some of the older members still remember those flaps on a horse's bridle to prevent sight of objects at his side.

There is, however, one election which all of our members should remember: the election of the local officers, one of them, either in the November or the December meeting. There is quite a bit of indifference, a lack of feeling and interest, as to what goes on in the local lodge. It is almost unfair to say that the officers and the committee should create the interest. But the feeling of belonging to an active lodge must be cultivated by someone in the lodge. It is hardly fair to say that each member should jab himself in the ribs to arouse his interest for what the other members are doing.

Somebody made a remark that the only difference between a rut and a grave is in the dimensions. As we fall in the pattern of thinking, we are liable to form a groove, then a rut, finally a pretty deep hole of indifference. That is what happens with a majority of officers and committeemen. We do not rotate them. We do not switch them around.

And, finally, we do not have anyone to rotate with or to replace by. We reach the stage of perfect rest, inactivity, stagnation, deep rut, untimely grave.

• • If we check our by-laws, we find that the annual meeting is held either in November or in December, or the first meeting thereafter. And if we read a

bit further, we find that during every annual meeting the officers are elected.

There are seven officers to be elected for the term of one year or until the successor is elected and installed in office. Then there are several lodge committees to be either elected or appointed, according to the local "rules and regulations.'

In this connection it may be timely and proper that there is some difference between the term "by-laws" and the phrase "rules and regulations." The word "by-laws" means the agreement adopted by the representatives, called "delegates," at the convention to control the entire SPJST. (See Article 1-e.)

On the other hand, the words "rules and regulations" mean agreements adopted by members to govern the districts, local lodges and youth clubs. (See Article 1-f.)

According to this classification and terminology, the entire SPJST is governed by the "by-laws," whereas the subdivisions of the Order, such as the districts, local lodges and youth clubs are governed, first, by the by-laws adopted at the last convention, and, second, by the rules and regulations adopted by the subdivisions of the SPJST, the districts, the local lodges, and the youth clubs.

The question arises quite often: Why is it that we do not get enough people to the annual meeting so that we may put more members on the committees? Why is it that we do not have enough members willing to accept an office? There is more than one reason. One of them is that not many people are willing to shoulder the responsibility of running the fraternal organization, to be faced with the task of making decisions, and then be subject to unjust criticism and unprovoked attacks. Many a good lodge officer re-tired from the lodge work on account of the critics and faultfinders.

Many people admit that they do not like to make decisions. The life of a lodge officer is not free of this responsibility.

Decisions: They are faced with decisions constantly. It is the same with us in our everyday affairs. We are faced with the decision of whether to do something or do nothing. If our disposition is the one of "least resistance," of doing everything the easiest way, then we usually wind up with the decision to do nothing. If we happen to be burdened with the responsibility of the lodge work, and we have the low-blood-pressure feeling in everything we do, we don't do much, and the progress of the local lodge is also suffering from the low-blood-pressure.

• • We can compare the activity of any local lodge to our driving. The driving of one's car is perhaps the best example or the decisions the officers or the lodge must constantly make. If we do not put our foot on the gas pedal, and do not keep it there evenly and constantly, we do not reach our destination. If we relax the foot, the car will coast for a short distance and then it will stop. We must decide whether we will drive moderately slow or moderately fast. We must decide whether to take this road or the other. If we are going to turn, do we warn the others, or do we ignore them?

The making of decisions in the lodge work cannot be avoided. The decisions must be confronted at every meeting, by every active officer, by all active committees. The successful and efficient officer will use good judgement and also rely on the co-operation of others. Suppose the officer frowns instead of smiles.

One frown won't make much difference, but two frowns will make twice as much difference. Suppose we make a constructive suggestion instead of a tearingapart criticism? We have free choice. We have a choice to make.

xty-Second Annual Convention of the Texas Fraternal Congress (This report was Relayed by the sudden death of Editor Hosek) The Sixty-Second Annual Convention of the Texas Fraternal Congress met at the Stephen F. Austin Hotel in Austin, Texas on Oct. 18, 19, and 20, to hold their convention and bring reports from the National Covention held recently.

Twenty-one societies of the Fraternal Order in Texas were represented at this Congress.

Mr. Jim; }Tolman of the Woodmen of the World, called the Congress to order at 10:00 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 18 for the Presentation of the Colors by the Austin Assembly of the Knights of Columbus Order, followed by the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner.

The Invocation was given by Msgr.

Edward Matocka of the Chancellor Austin Diocese.

The Welcome by Austin's mayor, who was represented by an appointed speaker, and the Austin Fraternalists brought greetings with past President Mr. John V. Prince responding. Quickly Roll Call of Societies present showed a wonderful turnout of enthusiastic fraternalists.

Like a big family of long standing they knew each other by first names and the fellowship there was infectious.

Mr. John W. Dimrnitt, president of the Texas Fraternal Congress then introduced his officers and the house was prepared for a movie "Fraternalism in Action" which was shown by the Sons of Hermann, and their Mr. Louis Engelke.

Brother. Engelke explained how they made the movie, stating that it took professional men who could pick no the action story as shown in color and that the narrator is a very important person for getting the story told authentically and well.

the District level which is being followed by the whole brotherhood with much interest. Like the Sons of Hermann, our society has realized the importance of its young members and the importance of holding them within the framework of the society for development into tomorrow's leaders and workers. It was inspiring.

President Dimmitt then announced the Appointment of Committees and invited everyone to the Publicity Section in the Capitol Room at 1:30 p. m. with Louis 0. Hosek, Section President, from our SPJST, officiating. Then the morning session was adjourned for the noon meal.

The Past Presidents' Luncheon was held in the East RooM and the Committees held short and hurried business huddles at designated spots while the gathering converged upon Austin's wonderful eating places.

At 1:30 p.m., President Dimmitt called the gathering to order to turn the meeting over to this section's President, Brother Louis 0. Hosek.

Launching into his address President Hosek said: Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow fraternalists!

Welcome to this section of our Fraternal Convention. It is a pleasure to again address you at this inspiring gathering of fraternalists.

Since we last met, our world has seen many upheavels, discontentment and meanness. Amid all of this, our fraternals have been leading their people to unity, understanding and brotherly love.

Like a giant magnet our fraternaties have drawn in seekers of a better way of life — into our circles where in true brotherly spirit the seeker finds peace, security and happiness.

Many of the SPJST members present who saw the movie expressed the wish that all of our lodges could have seen the Sons of Hermann in action at Comfort, Texas, where they have a beautiful and large Home for Aged, their various activities and hobbies, plus the Youth Camp on the same premises, but in separate buildings. The youth enjoy horseback riding, tennis, swimming, archery, basketball, etc. and are under the direction of young, adult instructor-supervisors.

The hour of decision is upon us, brothers and sisters, a time when with renewed effort we shall teach, these seekers of our fraternal societies — what we can do for his or for her family, not only WHAT IT WILL COST, but the fringe benefits that are enjoyed in our society.

We must decide if we truly believe in the things we try to sell others, and and then if we do believe in these things — go out and sell our neighbors. For, did not Jesus Christ bade us to go forth It is truly a tribute to the society. Our and teach Christian love — a love which own SPJST too is in the process of overcomes all evil? Does not our fraestablishing its first Youth Camp on ternalism teach this same love. SO, even

our fraternalism is based on Law and Order — God's law and our concepts of those of the Christian way of life.

Therefore, when you go back home, into your respective lodges, re-kindle this fire of brotherly love in the hearts of your membership and encourage all of them to go forth and spread this fraternalism to the hungry world, to the weary seekers, to our neighbors and to our friends. bid you earnestly, don't let this inspiration, this fire which you glean here at this Convention die; light another candle with it and then another and another and let's spread the good, the security, the peace and the happiness which can be found among the fraternals to everyone we meet.

Each fraternalist is an ambassador of good will, a teacher and that which you learn here in Austin, bring it back home before your lodges so that they too, will know that we are working hard here in these Conventions, for our places in the sun.

In closing may I wish for each of you much good health, happiness and contentment. Let's have a nice Convention.

Thus concluded Brother Hosek in his last message to his brothers here on earth.

The Secretary of this Section, Mrs. Vivian Maupin read the minutes of the last Convention, which were beautifully and fully written and which were approved by the meeting.

Several societies were recognized, some taking a bow, others giving short greetings.

President Hosek then introduced the Guest Speaker of this Section, Mr. Ed Mazanec of the SPJST Lodge No. 66, Waco, Texas. Brother Hosek referred to Brother Mazanec as a man who speaks from personal experience, having been one of a group who grasped the reins of a sleeping lodge and built it into one of the largest in our SPJST Order.

Mr. Mazanec's Speech Mr. Chairman, Distinguished Guests, Officers of the Sixty-Second Annual Texas Fraternal Congress, and ladies and gentlemen: I have been asked to speak on the value of "Publicity of Fraternal Organizations." Webster's Dictionary defines "publicity" as the technique of "Telling the Story" of any organization, person or cause.

aware of this. One picture may not be worth a thousand words, but the publication of photographs depicting the activities of your fraternal group, should become a very important part of your publicity program. This information published in your official organ, newspaper, or magazine is one of the best ways of keeping your members interested and informed as to what is happening in their fraternal groups. The publicity committee or chairman, should consider the official organ as one of hi4 primary news media and to, get to know the editors, their requirements and deadlines for publication of articles.

Also, you should obtain details of what types of pictures and size of pictures are required by their organ. The publicity committee should also know the necessary requirements for written articles.

Also, by using proper wands to promote fraternal publicity. Words are the difference between the man and the beast. They are the bullets of publicity.

They are used by the hundreds of thousands. Man lives by ideas and words are the pieces of which ideas are built. Words can poison, words can heal. Words start wars and words make peace. Words alone will not do the job. They must be related to action. Words come first.

They guide and organize action, but they must be accompanied by action and geared into action for effective fraternal publicity. I thank you for listening so attentively and may God bless you.— So concluded Brother Mazanec.

Brother Mazanec's paper brought much applause of appreciation for his very fine presentation. It reflects his first hand knowledge of this subject in his long struggle — along with other brothers and sisters — in behalf of Lodge No. 66, in putting the show on the road. They had an effective publicity committee who saw to it that all of their events came before the public eye in plenty of time to reach everyone interested in the lodge and its affairs.

Congratulations!

The time alloted flew by swiftly and the election of new officers was brought before the committee. The outcome was: Mr. A. B. Martin is president of the Publicity Section for the coming year; Morris Weisman, was elected vice-president, Mrs. Vivian Maupin was re-elected secretary-treasurer. Tiny, white-haired Mrs. Lena Shugart installed the newly elected officers again this year.

Mr. Martin, thanked the members in behalf of the officers, inviting everyone to contact him if there is anything that might he of interest to the fraternal societies. He stated that 85 per cent of all sales work is Public Relation. "Let's all be proud of our fraternal society," he stated.

Another "Old Timer" Mr. Anders of the Sons of Hermann, took a bow of recognition and gave a short talk, stressing that we must always be in the limelight, to stress the most important points. He gave pointers on good pictures and articles.

Mr. Stanley Patak, of the Western Bohemian, is the new president of the TFC for the coming year, and Dallas will host this group's next convention.

A visiting dignitary from the National WOW, charming Mrs. Duggan, complimented the Congress. She was another "Old Timer" who remarked that the Congress could not go on without her.

Mrs. Lena Shugart was introduced. Mrs. Shugart stated that she had made all

President Dimmitt complimented our SPJST brother Mazanec on his impressive talk. Thus this section of the meeting adjourned. At three the General Congress was in session for Mrs. Shugart's address as National President of the Woodmen's Circle from. Omaha, Nebraska.

At night there was the Congress Banquet and its entertainment. Friday was devoted to the Congress business: reports from the various officers and committees, with the Field Section beginning at 10:00 a.m. followed by the Field Section Luncheon at noon and the Youth Counselors Section opened at 1:30 p.m. with its planned program. T,he Youth Buffet and. Program for that night was held in the Capitol Ballroom where our Fort Worth Chapter participated, again winning much praise for the number which they presented under the leadership of our Sister Mary Renfro. Saturday morning was the last day of the Congress with Memorial Services presided over by our own beloved Brother Edward L. Marek, President of Supreme Lodge. Installation of new officers, etc., concluded the three-.day affair.

The spirit of fellowship among the sections is something to behold. The drive manifested by the presiding officers of the various fields of the Congress spells confidence, efficiency and success.

If the opportunity presents itself, every member of our Order should attend this Congress at least once to get some idea of the scope of this endeavor, for here fraternalism is at its height; all

The ceremony was held at the home of John Mogonye in Elgin, Bastrop County.

Both couples were members of the Lutheran Church but the closest minister was at Brenham. Rev. Chlumsky traveled by train to the Mogonye home to unite the couple in matrimony. After the ceremony a dinner was served to approximately 300 people that attended.

We were very saddened to hear of the recent death of our devoted editor, Brother L. 0. Hosek. Members of Lodge No. 166 wish to express our sincere sympathy to Sister Anna Hosek, who for so many years has stood by his side in his constant devotion to our SPJST, and to his family.

We sometimes do not understand the Lord's reasons for taking His children from those who love them so. It is even more difficult, when it is one who was so good, kind, and ambitious. We are all put here for a reason, and we believe Brother Hosek served his purpose well and so Our Lord believed it was time to unite Brother Hosek's soul with Him in everlasting peace.

It is evident that our Editor, Brother Hosek, was a hard-working member. He attended many activities throughout Texas in order to keep the members informed. He achieved his goal by publishing a good Vestnik.

Now that Brother Hosek's life on earth has been completed, may his soul be ever peaceful in its unison with Our Master.

Very sincerely yours, Sandra Watson 1 0( ORGANIZERS' MEETING AT LODGE NELSONVILLE, NOV. 14

The Organizers' School held on October 26, 1962, at Lodge No. 35 at Elk, Texas, was opened with all members offering a minute of silent prayer for our Brother L. 04 Hosek. Then Brother Hejny, Vice President of the Supreme, Lodge, announced the postponement of the District III meeting which was scheduled October 28th at Linden Hall in Elm Mott.

Our SPJST District III Organizer, Brother A. M. Vrla, and Brother Hejny, conducted the interesting discussions.

Brother Raymond Volcik was congratulated on being the only organizer in District III who had written an application a month during the entire year.

Brother Vrla urged all Organizers to contact their prospects, and to sell their prospects. He reminded those present that if the district quota is reached there will be another barbecue and also nice gifts for the top organizers.

Everyone had an opportunity to participate in the discussion on numerous questions. Also a review was made of all forms used by the SPJST. Brother Vrla and Brother Hejny urged all Organizers to offer any service they can and to be helpful at all times to any member of the SPJST. The importance of always being willing to render a service was stressed.

The discussions lasted more than three hours but all agreed this class was one of the best. The members of Lodge No. 35 graciously offered their nice facilities in conducting this school and their hospitality was greatly appreciated.

Brother Hosek has left an indelible mark upon the progress of our Youth and his image will forever shine forth and will be a guiding light to those who follow in his footsteps.

Never in his life did he fail to give credit where credit was due nor did he ever refuse any young boy or girl the iright to express their views through our Vestnik. At all times did he co-operate with them, guide them, and advise them when they sought to undertake a project whether it be large or small.

To those who loved hiM, Brother Hosek. will continue to live on. His inemmy will forever be a bright and happy one. To me and to so many others he was a very dear and a very true and trustworthy friend. Brother Hosek will long be remembered among his young friends as a "Champion of Youth."

We wish to assure you that as loyal American citizens .Gf Czechoslovak descent and extraction the fifty thousand members of this society, grouped in lodges located throughout twenty-two states of our union, gravely deplore the mob action in Prague yesterday in which the American embassy was stoned and bitterly resent and condemn the forcible removal of the flag of our country from its standard.

We are making our views in this respect known to the Czechoslovak embassy at Washington for conveyance to its government at Prague, with a word of strong protest against and condemnation of this action.

This action is not, in our opinion, indicative of the true feeling of the people of Czechoslovakia toward the United States of America. We consider this incident as one staged by the communist regime of Czechoslovakia to divert attention from the shameful part it has played in the conversion of the island ref Cuba to an armed military base threatening the security not only of our United States of America, but of the entire Western Hemisphere as well.

All loyal American citizens of Czechoslovak descent and extraction, among whom are the 50,000 members of the Czechoslovak Society of America, the oldest fraternal benevolent society in this country, grouped in lodges located throughout twenty-two of the states of our United States of America, cannot allow this incident to pass without a strong word of protest and condemnation to your government.

We are certain that the vast majority of the people of Czechoslovakia, who retain in their hearts the centuries old love and friendship for our United States of America, resent and condemn this action as equally as do we.

Every lodge of our Order in our Third District should be represented in the Fall Meeting of District Three at host Lodge No. 66 Elm Mott, near Waco, Sunday, November 18.

In all probability some very important items of discussion will be presented such as the progress made on the District Youth Camp, reports of the respective District Committees, Youth Leaders, District Youth Director, and the election of officers for the District for the year 1963 Then too, a place for the Spring Meeting for the District will be designated.

All of the above points of business are very important for our District and the interest of all Lodges in District Three is not only desired but essential for continued progressive work.

About the Czech Festival

Wednesday, November 7, 1962 out funds. People generally give of their time and work willingly, but there are also monetary sacrifices which it would' not be reasonable to expect people to make. Therefore, we decided to try to make some money for this purpose. The prices charged, we think, were very reasonable, and in some cases, much below what one might pay elsewhere. From all the comments we could gather, those in attendance were in sympathy with the l idea and understood what we were trying to do. An accounting has and is being made by the Chairman of the Committee. After necessary deductions have been made, the fund will be placed in a local savings account for next year's officers to use.

To. those who didn't attend, let me say that you missed a fine event. Be sure you come next year; we need your support if this project is to grow still further. We Czechs are proud that this occasion at the State Fair has been set aside for us. Other national groups are vying for similar recognition.

The first meeting in 1963 of our Czech Festival Committee has been set for February 25th. Details will be forthcoming in the Vestnik, but the nine local organizations represented on the Committee should proceed to elect their two representatives to the Committee in either the December or January '63 meeting. (Local officers please note).

Once again, my appreciation to all who helped, in any way, to make this year's Festival the greatest. It was hard work, but rewarding!

See you at the Fair in 1963!

Women's Nook WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: Today, I come before you not with recipes but with some very sobering information which if you love your home and family you will read as I have read it.

Prior to his sudden and unexpected death Thursday, Oct. 25, in the Hillcrest Hospital, Waco, your Editor had clipped out articles dealing with the widow and her problems which confront her upon her husband's demise.

In going through our papers, I found all of these clippings which he had had me read from time to time, neatly folded in a large manilla envelope, and again I read them. How thoughtful he was for my welfare — the thought overwhelms me.

Since he was your Editor of the fraternal Vestnik, the thought occurred to me that a more fitting tribute couldn't be written about him than to run this caption "FOR MY WIFE TO READ CAREFULLY, L.O.H." These clippings may be helpful to someone, for a time comes in everyone's life when this information is necessary.

This was taken from the Chicago Sunday Sun-Times of December, 1949: "Don't let the thought of legal fees frighten you. The fact is that if there is an estate to settle, you can't afford not to have a lawyer. If you need legal help and can't afford to pay any fee at all, you can apply to the Legal Aid Society in your locality, which is made up of the better lawyers and will assi gn one of its members to assist you.

"The choice of lawyer is extremely important. Possibly your husband had one who had handled his affairs.

"If you have no leads like this to go on, inquire about lawyers among your friends and business acquaintances, such as your banker.

"Here are some helps which it is perfectly legitimate to avail yourself, if they happen to fit your particular case: "If the will appoints an executor which you consider dishonest or unfit, or if you have reason to feel that he is acting fraudulently, you can go into court and ask to have him removed.

"In most states, a widow cannot be barred from sharing in her husband's 'estate, even if the will leaves everything to other people.

About Our Lungs

What is It you .do 18 -times a minute, 1080 times an hoar and about 25,000 times a day — yet rarely naive? The answer: you breathe.

Yet, for something which we do so often and so well, we know surprisingly little about breathing and the organs that do the breathing, our lungs.

For example, do you know that a child has pink lungs; an adult has gray or and that the elty resident who breathes industrial fumes and smog, has darker lungs than the person who lives in the country?

We are born with two lungs which are similar, but not identical. The left 1mp g is smaller and has two parts while the ri ght one has three. The longs /proportion to their sl y°, are the lightest organs in tkoe bod y They float on water. In women, they avera ge 23/4 pounds; in Men, 3 1/2 pounds. The lungs are located in the chest cavit y, one -/-1 each side of the heart. The purpose of the heart.

The purpose of the lungs is to bring oxygen to the body's cells and to take away waste carbon dioxide: The size of the lungs is surprising.

'Their surface is 50 times that of the skin. If their walls were spread out flat, they would cover 2,600 square feet.

Coughing is good for the lun gs. The air that enters the lungs is partl y purified by hairs in the nose; nonetheless foreign matter does enter. The lungs cou gh to eliminate this undesirable intruder. The air that rushes out of the lungs during a cough can reach the velocity of a hurricane.

Violent dou.gbing spells have been known to fracture people's ribs, brought on fainting spells, strained hearts and even torn holes in the diaphram.

Any time that coughing is presistent, it is wise to see a physician.

Though, the normal breathing rate is 18 times a minute, it drops to 12 times a minute while sleeping and jumps to 80 times a minute when you are out of breath.

Breathing 25,000 times a day adds up to 175,000 breaths a week or 9,125,000 in a year. If you're 40 years old now, you have already taken 365 million breaths.

By the time you reach the biblical three score and ten, you will have taken some 640 million breaths. Quite ao efficient machine, our lungs!

24 With more than a billion people in want of food and farmers in a number of lands plagued with, too much food, we have one of the strangest paradoxes of this modern age. The simple solution would appear to be the shipping of food surpluses to areas where there is a shortage, but that is not the answer to the farm problem:.. Being an economic problem, it is so complex that a satisfactory solution seems dificult to find.

In the countries where farm production is a problem certain types of farm products frequently exceed the demand for them. On a free market, where 'the price of a product fluctuates according to the demand for it and the available supply, a farmer can be hurt by an overabundant crop that brings the price down to where he may not be able to meet his costs. Unlike a manufacturer who can exercise a relatively high degree of control over the prices of his products and over the quantity produced for the market, a farmer cannot. What he produces is like a drop of water in a lake. It has little effect on the market price or on the total amount put up for sale. He is only one person in thousands or perhaps a million or more farmers.

A very IOW marxet price resulting from too big a harvest can ruin him economically, and that can affect the economy of an entire nation. Even in industrial nations farmers make up a large portion of the population. In the United States the farmers make up about 12 per cent of the population. European countries have a higher proportion, ranging from 20 to 55 per cent. Loss of purchasing power by such a large segment of a nation is certain to be damaging to the whole economy. The many nonfarmers who derive a substantial part of their income from sales of merchandise to farmers would likewise be ruined economically. Since farming is usually the largest single industry in a nation, the prosperity of farmers is of keen concern to the whole nation.

Certain governments have tried to protect farm income from the devastating effect of severe price drops caused by over-production. One of their instruments has been price supports. The British government, for example, guarantees British farmers minimum prices for basic agricultural products. When market prices drop below these guaranteed prices, it makes deficiency payments to the farmers. This is the difference between the realized price and the guaranteed price. Nearly every coun-

The Farmers' Problem try hi Europe has an arrangement whereby farmers are given some form of price protection. Some forms of it might even be considered as government subsidies. The object is to insure farmers a standard of living that is comparable to that enjoyed by the rest of the people in a country.

Arguing in favor of 'government price supports, the United States secretary of agriculture, Orville L. Freeman, said: "In the absence of any kind of government programs to work with and supplement a normal farm distribution, it is estimated that, in five to six years, prices would drop in the neighborhood of 30 to 50 per cent. Now, I think this would mean economic catastrophe, as well as great social and human loss for the whole country."

Various programs have been instituted by the United States during the past twenty years to assist farmers to maintain a satisfactory level of income. These have included parity payments, commodity loans; conservation payments, and so forth. Parity is the ratio between the prices that farmers received for their products during the period from 1909 to 1914 and the prices that they pay for the things that they bought, such as manufactured goods, fertilizers, and so forth. Farm and nonfarm prices during this period have been considered to have been in proper relationship with each other. A parity payment therefore would be the amount a farmer would receive from the government that would restore this relationship when the market price of his crop is low.

Price-support loans have been made in the United States since 1933 by the Commodity Credit Corporation. A wheat farmer, for example, can receive a loan on his crop that he puts up as security.

If he succeeds in selling his crop above, the government loan value, he repays , the loan with interest. On the other hand ; if he fails to get a price above that rate he can let the government take the wheat, and the interest on the loan is canceled. This arrangement assures him a minimum income from his crop.

Overproduction has become the big headache for a number of governments.

When the Belgian government helped dairymen by supporting milk prices at a high level, milk production was overstimulated, and a' government subsidy was required to convert the surplus into cheese and processed milk. Too much

Wednesday, November 7, 1962 butter and hothouse grapes are also surplus problems for this country. Excess sugar beets and wine are the surplus problems in France. Germany has surpluses of high-cost rye. Austria is troubled with seasonal surpluses of butter and pigs. Switzerland staggers with too much butter, wine and potatoes. In Britain surplus potatoes are bought, by the government and sold for stock feed at much lower prices. In the United States huge amounts of surplus farm products have been obtained by the government and stored away.

In 1961 the United States alone owned approximately 7 billion dollars' worth of farm products. Its yearly storage bill for farm surpluses is about one billion dollars. In feed grains alone this government owned more at the beginning of 1961 than any other nation in history. What can be done with all this surplus food?

Great surpluses such as those possessed by the United States cannot be sold on the world market in quantities large enough to greatly reduce them without creating havoc with world prices. Other nations that sell similar farm products on the world market would be hurt economically and would have ill will toward the nation doing the selling. Free gifts of food can be made to needy nations, but this can be done only to a limited extent. Large amounts would endanger the livelihood of the farmers in those nations. It would also reduce the incentive of the people there to develop and increase their own agricultural productivity. Some of the food can be given to needy people within the country flaying the surplus, but this is only a small help because the amount they can eat is limited.

The inelasticity of demand for basic farm products contributes to the surplus problem. The amount of wheat, for example, that people eat cannot be measurably, increased by lowering the price. The quantity they eat is controlled more by habit than by price. Another problem is that if the price is kept too high by government price Supports, consumption is likely to be reduced by the wheat's being priced out of the world markets. In either case, whether the price is low or high, the surplus problem remains.

When prices are low, farmers strive to increase production so their income will be adequate for meetin g their expenses.

On the other hand, if prices are high, they still strive to increase production out of a natural desire to take advantage of the high prices. In either instance over-production stacks new sur-

25 said: "We do not choose — and we do not believe most American farmers choose to solve the surplus problem, which exists in only three or four commodities, by shoving farmers' necks into the noose of rigid government control."

It has ban estimated that 53 per cent of American farmers would be happy to see the government get out of farming. Some feel that a gradual withdrawal by the government, allowing the effect of supply and demand to be felt increasingly stronger in farming, would eventually reduce the economic problems of surpluses.

In the countries where farmers are faced with the problem of overproduction, persons who are not farmers should try to understand their economic problems. They should sympathize with farmers and recognize that they are entitled to a standard of living that is comparable to that of nonfarmers. Until a workable solution to the farm problem is found, farmers and nonfarmers will have to make the best of the food surpluses, being thankful that their problem is too mucri rather than too little food.

0 ( — WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH CHILDREN WHILE ()N AN AUTO TRIP? Pen them up! Don't let them talk!

Tell them, before you start that you don't intend to listen to any nonsense!

These are some of the more extreme suggestions made by a group of men who were asked recently what should be done with children during an automobile trip. The questions were asked as part of a national survey conducted by a major oil company.

But the survey also found many practical suggestions that are worth noting.

—Travel at night and rig the back seat as a soft bed where children can sleep.

—Make sure your car is adequately equipped with games that will amuse them during the trip, but don't make them competitive games. Eventually competitive games will lead to arguments.

--Assign one parent to talk with the Children during the trip. This allows the other parent to concentrate on driving.

—Take your time on trips and make frequent stops during which everybody parents included — can get out and stretch their legs and relax. Maybe there is more to this than Meets the eye, because one psychologist said that one of the main causes for in-car confusion with children is tired and irritable parents.

VESTNIK- WEST, TEXAS

College Station — Housewives may be surprised to learn that they are paying less for meat today than their mothers paid. According to. Ed Uvacek, extension -estock marketing specialist, the proportion of the total family income that is spent for meat has cropped from 7 per cent in 1920 to only 4 1/2 per cent today, while the proportion spent for other consumer goods has increased four times. At the same time, we are getting better quality meat and a wider selection to choose from at the retail market, the specialist adds. The U. S. Department of Agriculture presently grades about 50 per cent of the beef, 15 per • cent of the veal and calf, and 33 per cent of the lamb slaughtered in the U.S. These USDA grades for carcass beef are Prime, Choice, Good, Standard, Commercial, Utility, Cutter and Canner.

ye stfedu, dne 7. listopadu 1962 The people of New York have a reputation of always being, in a hurry. As a rule they talk fast, eat fast, drive fast and many of them die fast. The millions of tourists who come to visit the city each year never cease to be amazed at the pace of the city. But before their two-week vacations are up, they too become engulfed in the hurried rhythm of things, so much so that often it becomes hard to distinguish the visitor from the native New Yorker. In fact, some even like the excited pace and dread to return to the slow gait of their hometowns4 But why the hurry? A private secretary who was about to leave her office was asked the question. She answered: "I have a home to go to, meals to cook and a couple of children waiting for me.

That's why I hurry." After she leaves the office, there are buses and trains tocatch and shopping to do. To miss a single transportation connection may mean the loss of as much as fifteen to twenty minutes. "Think what I could do at home in twenty minutes!" she said.

S.P.J.S.T. Calendar There has been some objections raised to the publishing of Lodge Calendar announcements by some of our Lodges.

Especially true was this with Lodges who never have paid a,ds in the Vestnik, while others regularly place paid advertisements of their special events.

There were many ads sent in by individuals from lodges, from band leaders, and others which created misunderstanding.

From now on, only an authorized Lodge officer's announcement will be honored, The band leaders should send ads directly to Mr. Jos. F. Holasek, publisher, and make arrangements with him as to rates, etc.

We trust this policy will eliminate the confusion. Thanks.

The ability of wood to conduct heat is low. Unlike some other building materials, wood allows heat to pass through it slowly. Therefore, wood is a good insulator against both heat and cold. This explains why, says Smith, well-constructed wooden houses are relatively 'easy to heat and keep cool. These and ( ,ether facts about wood were recently pointed out in a report by the Texas Products Department of the Texas Forest Service, he adds.

Smith related that the insulating capacity of solid wood is affected by many factors such as grain, knots, splits or cracks, and moisture content. Also, the heavier kinds of wood have less insulating ability than the lighter woods. Wet wood is not as efficient an insulator as is dry wood.

To help increase the natural insulating capacity of solid wood, insulation boards or other types of insulation are used in the interior walls of buildings.

Much of this insulation is made from ground-up wood which is impregnated with asphalt or other water resistant materials.

Smith pointed out that wooden structures with additional insulation helps control sound, tne outflow of heat during the winter, and the inflow of heat during the summer.
