21/0T A VI ZNAM T. G. MASARYKA T

Tomde Masaryk narodil se 7. b•ezna 1850 v Hodonine na Morave, kde jeho otec Josef Masaryk, pochazejici ze slovenske rodiny ode davna usidlene v Kopeanech, byl panskYm kodim na cisaiskem statku Matka Terezie Kropadkova byla rodem z Hustopeee na; Morave. Rodina Kropaekii pochazela pavodne z Kra.lova Pole u Brna, aveak jiz ded matein Tomde Kropadek bydlil v Hustopeei. Prato byla matce, ktera byla, zpfiznena s nemeckYmi rodinami a zila v nemeckem prostiedi, nerneina mnohem blizsi neZli eeetina.

Nicmene vlivem otcovYm vladla v iodine eeetinal. JeZto MasarykliV otec byl vazan na menivou sluZbu na' panskem statku, byl nucen piechazeti a rOdinou na riane cisaiske statky, na pi-. do. Mutonic, oejkovic, eejee. A tak Tomde poeav chodit do ekoly v Hodonine, pokraeoval v naveteve ekoly v 6ejkovicich a tu na radii tamniho dekana dali jej rodiee (r. 1861) na dvoutfidni realku do Hustopeee, aby pak mohl vstoupiti do noitelskeho astavu. Realka, (jako veecky tehderei stiedni ekoly) byla nemecka, ayeak Masaryk na ni dobie prospival, nebot' nemeina mu nebyla ji‘a z domu cizi.

S matkou se totiZ modlival neme ckY a a /lady take rozpraveli.

Kdy'a vychodil realku, nemaje dosud 15 let, nemohi vstoupiti do neitelskeho festavu. Dali jej tedv na ueeni k umeleckemu zameenikovi do Vidne,aveak Tomas odtud brzy Welt/ a vratil se do 6ejee, kde vstoupil do udeni k tamnimu kovaH. Oveem tu nepobyl dlouho, nebot'

jeho bYvalY uditel (hadby) z realky Lud'wik potkav jej nahodou, an nese vodu, poznal jej a piemluvil rodide, aby tak naclanernu chlapci neuzavirali testy k dalstudiim.

Domaci prostiedi melo na Masaryka a pozdejei jeho vyvoj znadny vliv. Tu, kde videl tak ostry rozdil mezi rozmatilYm panstvem a pracujicimi lidmi, uvedomil si svou blavni myelenku, ze prate tvoil prave hodnoty lidske a jest zakladem lidskeho etesti. Dale vyrostla v nem asi vlivem mateinYm ona■ narodni sndeelivost, kterou I/My tak vynikal, pies to ze nikdy nebyl narodne lhostejnym.

Pkipravoval se tedy do ueitelskeho nstavu a vyudoval prozatim v Cejkovicich jako neitelsky mladenec. Aveak na radu kaplana Satory, ktery jej pobidl k ueeni udelal zkoueku a primy jako privatista na gymnasiu v StraZnici a do druhe tHdy odebral se (ve ekol. r. 186465) do nemeckeho gymnasia v Bulk. Tu,

jsa vekem starei, dobie studoval a byl dokonce v prvnich letech "primusern".

Oveem velikYm etestim jeho bylo, ze jej profesor matematiky doporueil za vychovatele a staleho priAvodce kulhaveho a phoreho synka tendejeimu policejnimu kediteli Lemonierovi. Tim byl nejen zbaven hmotnYch starosti, ale tez podporovan ve svern dueevnim vYvoji. Ziskal si toti2 ptistup do bohate knihovny policejniho ieditele, kde nalezl znaene podnetit k studio nemecke literatury a yedy. Volpestudium vzdalilo jej site od ekolskych praci, takle piestal bYti "primusem", aveak stab se zakla.dem jeho duchovni samostatnosti.

Pod vlivem ohlasu, kterY zpasobilo na Morave polske povstani roku 1863, nauell se soukrome polsky. Krome poletiny nation se tea jiZ v Brne francouzky.

Jestli tam byly ponechane dlouho, tak ta modespaly housata, ale jejich manly je dobie hlidaly.

Although we mentioned these events in our Czech section a week or so ago, we must mention here again the impressive celebration at Lodge Pokrok 84 in Dallas on February 17th. The occasion commemmorated the membership of t:.ose who had been members of Lodge 84 forty or more years. There were over 40 such members so honored, and your Editor was privileged to be in the company of such fine and noble people.

Brother Sid Pokladnik, President of Lodge 84, presided over the program, and a fine program it was! Plaques v ere presented to those members who had been in Lod 2,e, 84 forty or more years, the plaques being presented by c 1prcme Lodge.

Fro Cher f= o - iacinik presided over a very smoothly-run program, and it stands to the credit of all those who assisted him in the preparation of the program. Bro. Pokladnik remarked to us that it took the combined efforts of some 39 people to put on this affair, and t e results showed it. The Choral Group presented a number of their mucli-lr.ved selections, which were enlc y much by all. The tribute paid to the older menibers was a fitting and proper one. One cannot but humble himself before these fine people for the work that they did in the past so that there was something to later build upon.

Our Congratulations to Bro. Pokladnik and the entire lodge for a wonderful and inspiring ceremony!

In our never-ending battle with the Printers' gremlins, we again admit defeat on the back page of last week's issue. We apologize, and submit our corrections in this week's issue.

The TIME Magazine article about Rosebud stirred up quite a tempest.

2'rankly, Rosebud was up in arms! Pro. Tuhri Plasek sent us a clipping Loin the Rosebud News, which contained an open letter to the editors of TIME from Justice of the Peace John R. Killgore.

In it, Mr. Killgore undertook to answer the allegations and stories presented by a TIME reporter from Houston. Mr. Killgore related the progressive attitude of Rosebud, its numerous civic projects, low bonded indebtedness, Class A public schools, volunteer' fire department, public swimming pool built with iocally-raised funds, a fine public li,n'ary, blood bank program, and many other items for which the citizenry of Rosebud can be justly proud. Mr. Killgore concludes his open letter with this paragraph , : " . . believe me, it is a wonderful place in which to live, raise a -family, go to school, to churcin to shop, to buy, to spend your Whole life, and yes, to die in." 'Nuff said. TIME did not print the letter. Looking at it purely philosophically, maybe the nation-wide publicity, even though not favorable, was good for Rosebud; TIME has the largest circulation of any magazine in in the U. S. Incidentally, of the five Scouts mentioned in Mr. Hillgore's story, three are oft descent and are members of SPJST Lodge 89.

The cub master, scout master, and institutional' representative- are all members of Lodge 89, which recently passed the 200 mark in membership.

Once again, we'd like to call attention to our "Keep In Mind" column. Perhaps we're overdoing it, but there are still some who don't read it, and we feel it would help to do so.

• Even if the current weather may no indicate it, spring is just around the corner. It marks the advent of outside, garden and yard work, budding trees, spading, raking, and a hundred other chores that require doing at the same time, of the year. In an attempt to

Wednesday, March 13, 1963 be helpful with these outside duties, we plan to institute a new column very soon, titled, "Yards and Gardens," which will be largely contributed by Brother Otto Mantas, who has had many years of experiame in the field of gardening landscaping, flowers, etc., etc. Watct for it.

Speaking of new things, the Vestnil will assume a slightly "new look,' starting with next week's issue. It be nothing drastic really, and we lippc it will make for easier reading. The change will be in the width and spacing of the eziunins on each page. By using wider spacing, we feel that the contents will be more readable. From a technical si:andpoint, the inking will be more even and smoother. We hope you like it. )0 DISTRICT HI ORGANIZERS' BANQUET Ennis, 24 Feb. 1963 As is the custom each year about thi, District Three Organizers' Danqhet, Ennis: $25,000 Club winners of electric time, Bro.

Girl Scout Promise: "On my honor, I will try: To do my duty to God and my country, to help other people at all times, and to obey the Girl Scout Laws."

Girl Scout Laws: The 10 points of the Girl Scout Laws outline a code of behavior for young people which will stand them in good stead as citizens and mature adults. The Girl Scout Laws, designed to inspire the highest ideals of character and conduct, are: 1. A Girl Scout's honor is trusted.

2. A Girl Scout is loyal.

3. A Girl Scout's duty is to be useful and to help others.

4.A Girl Scout is a friend to all and a sister to every other Girl Scout.

5. A Girl Scout is courteous.

6. A Girl Scout i§ a friend to animals.

7. A Girl Scout obeys orders.

8. A Girl Scout is cheerful.

9. A Girl Scout is thrifty.

10. A Girl Scout is clean in thought, word, and deed.

Girl Scout Motto: "Be prepared." All Girl Scout activities are designed to help girls to be prepared to cope with a variety of situations to meet emergencies, and to lead stimulating and constructive lives.

Girl Scout Slogan: "Do a good turn daily." Service to an individual, a group or the community is basic to Scouting.

Program Activities: Through Girl Scout activities, girls put these laws into action and learn to develop a wide range of personal interests. The program activities are based on 11 fields of interest: agriculture, arts and crafts, community life, health and safety, 'homemaking, international friendship, literature and dramatics, music and dancing, nature, out-of-doors, sports and games.

Organization: Girl Scout councils are local units chartered by the national org.aniZation to administer and develop Girl Scouting within a specified area.

Councils vary greatly in size and scope.

Altogether, there are almost 1,000 Girl Scout 'councils in the United States, and its possessions.

The troop is the basic unit of government in Scouting. The girls meet weekly with adult leaders to plan their activities.

There are a total of 166,000 Girl Scout troops in the United States, its possessions, and at U. S. Military and civilian locations in 50 countries around the world. Scouts belonging to U. S. troops

VE-STNIKâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; WEST, TEXAS LODGE NO. 66, WACO Dear Readers, The youth club of Lodge No. 66 is going to have a hat contest. The senior youth club members are going to make hats of their own creation. The hats are to be judged and prizes awarded for the best one.

A big group of youth are to be congratulated for the fine work they have clone this past year. The hard work is nothing to look at lightly; if the youth dubs are willing to work for what they get I think the youth leader and the youth club members will make this orcanization one of the finest in the state.

District III will hold their meeting at Fort Worth Lodge 154. This is the last reminder, for the meeting is to be held Sunday, March 24, 1963. I am looking forward to seeing you there. I know I will be there; how about you?

The students of the Waco schools received one day off so the teachers could have a teachers' meeting, This one day will give me some time to read my library book, because I have a book report coming up soon and I like to have my book finished before the time is up.

I would like to thank the editor for all the support he is giving the youth and their work. THANK YOU, MR. MORRIS! I will have ta stop for I still have things to do before I go to bed.

Yours truly, Jean Spence )0 ) --LODGE NO. 66, WACO Dear Readers, Just a short reminder of our monthly meeting on March 17; also, that our District III meeting will be held on March 24. All should try to attend these two meetings.

All members of Lodge No. 66 don't forget that after our monthly meeting we will have a game night, so plan to stay after the meeting to play fortytwo.

Attention, Youth Club members: don't forget we are going to hold our. Easter Bunny Contest and will give a prize for the best hat.

Congratulations go to the young person who won in the Merit Record Book contest and the Merit Point System contest of 1962. These young folks worked very hard and should be very happy to have the honor of representing their lodge in this contest.

News is short so I will close for now and write more in my next letter. See you on March 17 and March 24.

I hope more of the youth from our Lodge will participate this year in keeping the Merit Books.

Yours truly, Robert Dobecka, Jr. )O) LODGE 6, COTTONWOOD Dear Members: At our last meeting, held on March 3, 1963, we had a very delicious Barbecue supper, which was enjoyed by all.

Sincerely yours, Diana Mynar 0( LODGE NO 66, WACO Dear Members: The most wonderful thing happened to me this week. I received a letter from the Supreme Lodge saying that I won first place honors in the State Merit Book Contest. This was a complete shock to me.

I still can't believe it. My book won first place in the lodge and then it was sent to the district where I was named high score All-Category Girl, My book was then sent on to state. I must say that about this time I had very little faith in seeing my name listed as State Winner.

I have been requested to come to the District Meeting and you may be sure that I will be there to receive my trophy.

Thank you for the honor and may our lodge be represented in many more of the activities in the future.
