Rok pozdeji (1863) na vlastni naklad svolal do 2enevy konferenci delcgatti Sestnacti state a predloZil jim peelive vypracovany navrh 'na zaloleni svetove liclumilne organisace„ kterd by mela za dkol starati se o obeli valky primo na bojiStich, Lee mud neclopral zakladateli Oerveneho kriZe toho Stesti, aby se na vybudovani jeho organisace poclilel.

VeSkera, jeho einnost se snad ani vypoeitat neda. Jednou z nich je bezplatny sber krve, potrebne v nemocnicich pro transfuse. Tento sber krve byl zrizen teprve pied nekolika lety a jako jedinY se jej ujal 0ervenk kra.

Pied tim bylo nutno v nemocnicich platit za jedinou da yku potrebne krve aZ 20 dolart. Nyni je tato pomoc zdarma, diky sluZbe oerveneho kriZe a obetavosti darce krve, ktere eervenY kriZ vede ye svem seznamu a zaveas kaZdeho o "jeho dni darts krve" telefonem pisemne uvedomi.

na hoc ROMAN

Pokraeovani NaSel ho v mladem hospoda•skem ritedniku Durdelovi, s jeho otcem, sedlakem, byl od inladosti pkatelsky znam. Start' selsky rod to byl, lide podl yne zalo g eni, hioubayi a vzdora• 1piel na starych tradicich. Dudelavl byli prostrecine zamakin, gill jaksi saniatatsky, a bylo zzialo tech, s udrZovali styky. Hospodati byli dobystre pozorovali nove metody • hospodateni, ale nezrieastnili se kive ani politicky ani hospodatsky, kaaneho ruchu. likali o nich, ze jsou pavouci, aekoliv jejich jnieno bylo jinak bez poskyrny.

Vzbudilo dosti podiveni, g"e start' Durdela dal jednoho ze s yYch synti, Vita, na hospodatske Skoly. Dosud chni Durdelove stayali se sedlaky, projevujici nechut' k panStejSimn zpusobu kivota. Start' sedlak ovSem nedoznal, co ho k tomu ptimelo. V jeho mozku zrodila se mykenka, ke by jeho syn mob]. jednou ziskati dvar, napted do najmu a pozdeji do vlastnictvi, pi'esaditi tak rod z fizkYch selskych pomern na SUS" zamoZnejk pole. Pe nez na najem el koupi dvora ovSem nemeli, ale start' Durdela, pocital, ke se syn nejak k tomu dopracuje.

Mel na mysli najemce Volotoenika otce ptiSti Zany Vitovy Anekky ktery take opustil svuj menk selsky statek a pronajal si dvorec. Dosti se v nem nalopotil, ale nebyl to uk sedlak, ale najemce dvora, co y v jeho (eich znanienalo vySk stupeii venkovskeho zemanstva. A proto take, kdyk syn dostudoval a ptijat byl na hrabeci velkostatek, snakil se , ;aby se syn ° genii s ilcerou. Votoenikovou.

Nebylo tteba tak velkeho urneni oba mlade lidi zasnoubiti. Anekka byla ve svem dvacatem roku slienou a zdravou :nevestou, touZici po mangelstvi,a dy pojezdny mel ptiliS ustaleny selskY nahled na mankelstvi, ne g aby se byl stratku branil. VSechny okolnosti pro sriatek s Ane gkou Votoenikovou byly ptiznive. Byla z hospodatstvi, ve kterem musela pomahati, byla zdTava a byla hezka, co g zase v jeji nrospech mluvilo. Ted', kdyg byl panskYm &adnikem, neubranil se popanAtele touze, aby jeho gena se hodila mezi geny druhYch ri •ednikri, a zjev Anekein byl piilis ptiznivY, aby moll nekdo neco fleptizniveho a ni pronesti.

VESTtifIC V to dobe byl mladY pojezdnY dosti givY a dru gnY. Pobyt na .Skolach spoleonost fitednikrt v je,ho mysij mnoho nahleciti a zasad, ktere si z domova ptinesl, ttebake na dne jeho duebyla pevne zakatenena selska krev, houkevnatost a nedtivetivost.

Nachazel se na rozhrani, kde se jeho povaha mohla ptetvotit, a kdy moll stare ptedsudky odlokiti.

Zdalo se, ke mankelstvi dovr g tento pterad. Zamiloval si Anekku, stal se ✓ jeji ptitomnasti ahnivejk a rteknejk, a. ona, podrobjvk se ptani otcovu, bez velikYch obav ptistoupila na sfiatek.

Stala se z ni panskd ritednice, ocitla, se ✓ ruSnem okoli a spoleenost ji poskytovala nave po gitky a touhy.

Zkrasnela. Sice byla i ptedtim slienou kenou ohebne postavy a libivych vdekil, ale nova prosttedi ptinagelo mnoho novella, eemuk se tvarne Byla zvana do spoleonosti a zabav, &Ha se moderneji se ablekati, a stala se ptedraetem lichoceni, zavisti i obletovani svobodnYch • Jako by jeji dosud klidna, due dostala ktidla, laene u givala nove svobody, vSecka nadSena, ge ma rispechy.

Jeji telo vyspivalo. Byla brunetou velkYch, eernYch oei .hojnYch e'ernych vlasft a pH torn jeji plet' byla bila a kvetoucim rumencem. Pouze jeji nos byl trochu AirokY a jeji zuby byly nepravidrilne, ;koukaly ji z huby, ale to se ztracelo jako nic neznamenajici maliekosti. Melo, krasne telo, shone formovane ruce i nohy, a okolnost, ge jeji ruce byly dost upracovane, nebyla ji k necti. Vgak =oho panieek musilo doma pracovati, aby chovem drtibege a rikliclern pomahaly sniZovati dornaci vydani.

V to dobe rada narukive taneila, na rozdil od sveho mute, kteremu tanec neposkytoval kadneho z ylaAtniho pogitku a on take nebyl za, dobreho taneenika pova govan. Zato colada pojezdna z ruky do ruky a jeji planouci zrak byl svedectvim jak pro givati to ptesladke rozkae, ktera se ji pH tanci zmocriovala. Byla garlive pozoroYana ostatnimi paniekami, ktere nemely toll taneenikti a na jeji fleet bylo proneseno mnoho kausa,vYch vtipu. Jenke se kadna neodvakila vetejne ji napadnouti, jeliko g mezi taneenik3r; kteti ji vyznamenavali, byli ptedni rikednici, jen g nebylo radno uraziti.

Zvlagte hrabecl telesnY myslivec, • oblibenec, kterY pozdeji se stal nadlesnikem a pozdeji lesmistrem, byl jako oearovan mladou pojezdnou. Druhdy ptichazival mezi rikedniky velmi ztidka, nezatajuje snahu udrkovati

Sam keditel a start' lesmistr chovali se k nemu s uctivou drivernosti, kterou nebylo mono nevideti.

FROM THE E MR'S DESK In last week's editorial, we examined the future of the Czech ian guage at the University of Texas. We ,could not let the subject pass completely without making mention of the excellent Czech language program and department at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. What was done there should serve as a sreining example of what could be done elsewhere with far-sighted brilliant leadership.

• • About a year ago, the University of Nebraska announced that it was inaugurating a three-year program of Czech instruction, and that Czech was considered on a level with any other foreign language taught at the Uni versity. This means that a student, wishing to take a foreign language that is required in getting some degrees, could choose Czech. It isn't just a "filler" or "credit course," taken, simply to accumulate semester hours. .Prior to this, Czech was not considered a major language, and was studied by those who were so inclined and wanted ta apply, themselves.

• • How did this happen? The person chiefly rseponsible for lifting Czech onto such a hie,h , plane was Dr. Vladimir Kucera, head of that section. Under his brilliant leadership, the department has blossomed and prospered. It commands prestige. When he started teaching at the U of Nebraska, Dr. Kucera started with almost nothing.

With his organizational talents and teaching ability, he proved that Czech can take its place among the rest of the foreign languages taught there. ♦ e As stated, the U of Nebraska case demonstrates what can be done under an influential, capable. leadership as that given by Dr. Kucera. The U of Nebraska is indeed fortunate in having such a man as he in charge of the Czech Section, the State of Nebraska is fortunate, and the Czech people

THE BRIGHT SIDE If we noticed little pleasures As we noticed little pains, If we quite forgot our losses And remembered all our gains.

If we looked for people's virtues, And their faults refused to see What a comfortable, happy Cheerful place this would be., of Nebraska are fortunate. We need more like him. Perhaps we will be fortunate to find someone of comparable stature to rejuvenate the Czech Section at the U of Texas. The whole Czech Community of Texas is hopeful toward this end. We don't want to lose, any more James Janouseks (and possibly others) to the U of Nebraska, even though we admire their program very much. If Dr. Kucera did it there, surely we can find someone who can do it at UT. Leadership is the point of all this, and after that, it's up to vs, as we wrote in this column last week.

It must also be added that Dr. Kucera. traveled to a branch of the U of Nebraska every week, and assisted the Czech people in the. Wilber' area in setting up their own Czech school. Our admiration gees out to him, and we wish them continued success.

0 .7 .coraing zo nicompiete and unofficial information, Czech and Czech literatwe is being taught at 21 universities throughout the US, and at an landetermined number of high E-7:hools across the land. We should like to compile a listing of all high ,schools where Czeeh, in any form, is being offered currently. Therefore, we are asking that anyone who has any knowledge of this subject send it in to your editor. We will eventually eliminate duplications. If possible, you should include, for example, the number of students enrolled last semester,

the name of the school, how many grades or semesters of Czech are offered, and the name of the teacher involved. Upon completion of this list, we will be able to see where Czech is actually being offered, and just what its status is in our Texas high schools.

I know, for example, that Czech. is being taught at Rogers High School.

There. must be others. If anyone is in possession of such a listing, complete and current, we would appreciate you sending it to us, for publication in the Vestnik. This will be another way of parading the whole subjebt of Czech instruction before our eyes and until something concrete is done at the Uof Texas. (See last week's editorial page).

As has been indicated in the Youth Section, a tragic thing happened to our pictures taken at District III Youth Activity Day, at Lodge 130, Dallas. The man in Fort Worth never received the pictures from the Cechoslovak Publishing Company here in West. The envelope with the pictures is still presumably lost somewhere between West and Fort Worth, but by this time, there is not much telling just where it may be. Postal authorities have assured us that they will continue searching for it, and when it turns up, regardless of when it is, we will publish the pictures. It's too bad, because so many youngsters have been eagerly awaiting the pictorial layout of the day's activities, and the disappointment must be great. Of course, until something turns up, we are helpless. Let's keep hoping.

We call our members' special atto the writeup and pictures on the special meeting at Lodge 146, Galveston. Lodges 146, and 62, have been dormant and rather inactive for many years. We are about to witness, we hope, renewed activity and reactivation of both lodges. Just because they tention

Wednesday, July 24, 1963 have been inactive doesn't mean they must remain that wa y . We , hope that this is just the beginning of solid progress and growth for both. Galveston lodges. There are may other lodges in the same fix.

A president of a very large and active lodge told me recently that with a very few exceptions, there wasn't a lodge in the state that couldn't be transformed into an active lodge, with the proper leadership. His lodge was in that boat about a dozen years ago.

Remember the saying: "They said it couldn't be done — and he did it"? It is still true. In the case of dormant inactive lodges, there needs to be a concerted, coordinated effort and drive to put the fire back into the local lodge. It takes.. capable leadership on the lOcal lodge level (Here we might apply Harry Truman's famous quote: "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.") You should call in your local organizer, your district officers, your district organizer, Supreme Lodge officers, the editor, and anyone else you think may be of some help toward getting your lodge back on its feet. That's what they did in. Galveston. All of these people are there to help and serve you. Avail yourselves of their talents and abilities.

We hope the Galveston lodge will serve as an example for other lodges to "come to life." (The folks in Galves• ton are probably thinking I've built them up too much). Here's hoping they grow and they serve as a rallying Point for many of our fine people in that area. ) 0( THE SMILE OF CONFIDENCE There was a terrible storm on the ocean. The waves were so high and violent that the ship rolled from side to side. The furniture had to be strapped down, and passengers had to keep to their berths to be safe. The pilot was strapped to his position, but it looked as if the vessel was doomed to be wrecked.

An intrepid passenger was determined -to find out whether there was any hope of saving the ship in the tempest.

Holding to the furniture, he crawled on his hands and knees to the stairway. He bade his way up and across the wave-lashed deck to the ladder to the pilot's quarters. Up he went until he could see the pilot, who by that time was slowly maneuvering the ship away

VESTNfit from threatened destruction against jagged rocks that protruded from the sea.

The pilot looked at him and smiled.

The passenger returned to the others, who were almost hopeless, and said: "All is well. I've seen tne pilot, and he smiled." ) 0( NOT AN AMERICAN RACE? (Submitted by Josef Becan, Ft. Worth) In five generations we have produced on this continent a race. You think there's not an American race? It's funny. Here we are made up of every stock in the world, and yet can you tell an American if you see him on the streets of Berlin, or Vienna, or Paris, or Prague? What is an American? An American is a fellow whose grandfather was a German forty-eighter who settled in Wisconsin and married a Swede, whose mother's father married an Englishwoman, whose son met a girl at college, whose mother was an Ajustrian and whose father was a Czech, and their son in the twentieth century right now is six feet tall (we are perhaps the tallest race on earth) goes to a. state college, plays football, can't speak a word of any known language except American, and is doubtful whether he even had a grandfather.

This American has several characteristics. He doesn't like to take orders. If you speak to him in a friendly way, he will do almost anything you ask him — inside reason. If you once get him into a war, 'he is a very good fighter, but he has a very low opinion of war, and, except when he is dressed up for a festival of the Knights of Columbus or American Legion, a pretty poor opinion of uniforms. He doesn't like to commit hirriself to stay forever in one place. He Js restless, and an inveterate traveler. in his. own country or elsewhere if he can afford it. He is incredibly ingenious. He can devise more ways to save - himself work than any other known race of human beings'; that's probably 'Why he has invented so many gadgets.

He will wear himself out playing golf, or tennis, or football, but he won't walk to 'get to the golf links. He is enormously inventive. This is one of the greatest races of inventors ever produced. He was born free and lie shows it by the way he moves.

CORRECTION In last week's letter from Brother V. H. Barina, the sentence . . . "only two bought more than one thousand, and one of those lives in a big city in our district," should have read: " . and one of those lives in a big city OUTSIDE our district." Our apologies. — Ed. )O( SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM, LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: On Thursday night, July 11, we continued our winning streak by defeating Industrial Towel by a score of 8 to 5.

Batteries for the game were Glynn Williams pitching and Larry Brennan catching. Williams struck out 5, walked 5 and allowed 8 hits and he received good support afield.

Leading hitters were Larry Brennan with, one hit and a walk; Leonard Drozd with a hit and a walk; Alex Parma one, hit and a sacrifice hit; Bob Spoor one hit; Albin (Bin g) Vrana one hit, and Barnie Drozd with one hit. This upped our record to 3 runs and one loss with two games remaining to be played. This still puts us in the thick of the race and leaves us 'with a probability of winning the second half of play.

Thursday night, July 18, we play 1VIadewell Electric at 8:45 p.m. and our final league game on Thursday night, July 25, game time 8:45 p.in. at Samuel-Grand Diamond No. 4.

On Monday night, July 15, we played Friendly Chevrolet and we really lost a close one, the score was 1 to 0 and they got an unearned run in the first inning and that was the game.

Glenn Williams hurled a 4 hitter, walking one and struck out 6 batters. He really Lad a good night and deserved a win for his excellent pitching performance. Larry Brennan turned in a good game behind the plate We could muster only two hits and one walk, and no runs, so the pitcher for Friendly Chevrolet also had one of his best nights. By nature of the win Friendly Chevrolet won the Monday night championship and out of the four games we played them three were decided by one-run margains. You just can't lose them much closer.

Leading hitters were Ray Smith and Leonard Drozd with one hit apiece and Glynn Williams with a walk.

We really had a good close race in

Wecineptlay, July 24 -, the Monday • Night League, an though We didn't win the League, we had a . lot of fun.

We play our last game in the Thursday Night League on June 25, - at Samuel-Grand Diamond No. 4 at 8:45 p.M. so come out and see this last gable. " We have been assured a "spot in the City League Championship playoffs and these 'playoffs will start Saturday July 27, games will start at' p.M, 1st game, and Sunday night, with the 1st.game.starting at 5:00 pail, and games all ,during the week of July details of the 29th. When the playoffs are made "I will try put tc:JerriTn the next issue of the Vestnik.

We were Pleased to have Eddie and Mary Helen Kolonovsky, who are now living in Austin, as spectators at our Monday night game. Eddie was one of th,e charter members ortour team when v e first organized in 1953 and Mary Helen was one of our best rooters. We .deeply appreciate their presence at this game.

The regular monthly lodge meeting was held Friday July 12. Reports were given by the various committees and all reports were encouraging. The Birthday Club Sisters with their Kulache Bake Sales are running a neck-7 and-neck race With the Entertainment Committee to see who comes up with the best report at the end of the month. Believe me they are doing' a wonderful job, with their kolac,he bakes, but they do need more help, so if any of you good ladies have some spare time go by and give them a helping hand. It takes quite a few hours to get all those goodies out.

The Entertainment Committee lined Up some good dances for the future months along with the Thung day Social nights. There have been some changes made in the socials, so come by and join in the fun. We will be glad to have you.

The next dance will be July 27. Music will be furnished by the well-known Henry Brosch Orchestra of Moulton, Texas. Get all your friends and come Out. Saturday, July 13, the Johnnie Holub Orchestra of Schule ,nburg played for the dance. This orchestra was formerly the Emil Bartosh Band of Moulton.

They sure put out some wonderful dancing music, modern and old time.

A Talent Contest preceded the dance and it was a pleasure to watch the youngsters perform their talent, in dancing, singing and playing musical instruments. The winners will participate in the District V Talent Contest in Rosenberg, on Sunday, July 21st.

Wednesday night, July 17, a Lodge 88 Choral Club was formed, which will be under the ,direction of J. Pokorny.

Sincerely, Mrs. Leonard J. Baleja, Secretary )0h SOKOL HOUSTON

Dear Members and Friends: There was a lot of rejoicing and celebrating last Friday at our gym, honoring our young gymnasts who made a wonderful showing at our Dallas District slet. Our junior girls placed first, second, and third place in allaround competition and our junior boys placed first and second. Nancy Busch won a gold medal for first Place, Martha Busch won a silver medal for second place and Shirley Svec won a bronze medal for third place. In our junior boys division. Gerald Bily won a first place gold medal, and Joe Reed won a second place silver medal.

Sokol Houston has had a splendid junior girls' team for many years past and they have represented our organization with great distinction: however, our boys have been drilling for only one year and already they are in top winnings. This is another sign of progress in having Sokol Houston well represented. Our progress can also be seen in our adult men's and women's division. We have some splendid adult gymnasts and they are only awaiting the time when they, too, can show

17

their. abilities. We sincerely believe that Houston, now, has a., good and as active gymnastic team as we have had in any previous years. Many individual apparatus ribbons were won by our team and also by our pre-junior girl, Barbara Svec, however, I do not have all this information available at this time, but I will inc-lition it in. the next issue.

We would like you to keep in mind that next month, August, Sokol Houston will present a gymnastic exhibition at the next barbecue. I do not nave the complete details, but they will be ,finalized next week and as soon as I have the information, you will read about it. We are also anticipating another gymnastic program in September and a Sokol Circus in October. So you can see, we have a number of interesting entertainment events for you and and we hope that these programs will demonstrate to you the important ideals of directress, manliness and self respect that a gymnastic organization, such as Sokol, instills in its adults and junior members.

V S_ TN Wednesday, July 24, 1963 SPECIAL MEETING, LODGE 147 . GALVESTON The il-mme of Frank H. Beran, Jr., 7928 Pruitt Drive in Galveston, was the scene of much activity Sunday, July 14th. A special meeting was held, followed by a social hour, during which delicious barbecued hamburgers, steeped in rich tomato sauce, were served.

At the very beginning, and in behalf of all those in attendance, almost all of the credit for a successful afternoon must go to Bro. Beran, and hi., charming wife, Georgia. They made; their entire home, garage and yard facilities available to all their guests.

The work carried out in preparation for this event was time-consuming.

Bro. Beran and his wife are fine fraternalists, and they hosted their guests well. The entire afternoon was a huge success, The Galveston lodges are both more or less inactive lodges. (The other Ridge is Lodge 62). We hope, along with everyone else in attendance, that this will be the beginning of a vast reactivation campaign that will put both Lodge 146, Galveston: Local and District officers: Back, L to R: Jarda Cerny, Galveston lodges on their feet.

District V Organizer; Ernest Hanka, District V President; Mrs. Edna Urbanic, To help in giving a moral boost to Youth Leader, Lodge 146; Frank H. Beran, Jr., Lodge 146, Organizer. Front: L. the. Galveston lodges, a number of to R: Chas. Bures, Lodge 146, President; Mrs. Lucille Weinberg, Secretary; Mrs. fine members from Houston Lodge 88 Chas. Bures, Vice President, both of Lodge 146. (Mrs. John Herbachek, Financial and 142 attended the meeting. EspeSecretary of Lodge 146, was not present). cially gratifying was the visit of the officers of Lodge Rozkvet Na. 62. They are fine people and everyone was glad to see them.

The highlight of the business meeting was the announcement by District V President Ernest Hanka, that District V's fall meeting would be held in Galveston, as requested by the Galveston lodges. This will go a long way toward helping these two lodges "get back into the pii3ture," so to speak.

It will take a lot of hard work and concerted effort on the part of all the SPJST members in Galveston to put the affair over. District V welcomes the opportunity to hold the meeting there, and there is every indication that the meeting will be a ',highly successful one.

It was a distinct pleasure for your editor to attend and help dramatize 'fibre need for wide publicity for inactive lodges. We hope our efforta will prove to be of some value to them. Inactive lodges need to be active ones, and if we can help accomplish this in one way or another, that we shall do. Brother Beran is the spark that has lit the little fire that we hope will flourish and grow into something really big.

We're all for you!

Finally, it must be mentioned that Sister Edna Urbanic, the youth leader or Lodge 146, hopes to form an effective youth club in the near future.

She has the nucleus for such a group, and we hope She is successful in every way.

In the years since, Roman has become a sought-after furniture builder.

Put him a proposition. Discuss the

lumber that will go into the piece of furniture you want, and don't forget to listen to his ideas on the subject.

You remember her. the white Child Indians carried away, whom Shapley Ross recaptured 20 years later after she had grown up in the Indian tribe, Married a chief, and became mother of Quanah Parker for whom the West Texas town is named.

When the Navasota was dammed to form Lake Parker and land was being cleared for the lake bed, Dr. Jenkins bought that walnut, had it sawed into lumber and stored it in a barn on his farm, near the Veterans Hospital at Waco.

After Dr. Jenkins' death 15 years ago or more, the walnut stayed in the barn along with a stack of lumber he had accumulated.

Mrs. Barnes said to Roman Parma one day, "I've always wanted a nice piece you've made;' I've always wanted a piece of furniture from that particular walnut, and I've always wanted a lowboy."

Roman took her a book, she selected a certain lowboy pictured therein, and he made it. The ends are of stump wood that he had to plane by hand.

First were the crown bearer, Belinda Bartek; flower girls, Theresa Ann Tomasek and Becky Vanicek, and escort Donald Pechal. Next to be introduced was 1962 Queen, Nancy Mulish and her escort Raymond Mokry, who came out and were seated at the front of the stage.

Sincerely, Teresa '+ r'.. )O( ,ODOE 54, W YOUTH -- — Dear Members and Eriendt, decided to write in the Vestnik since we are caught up with cur work.

We got through chopping about two weeks ago and am I glad!

Last iir eek my cousin, Dolores Cepa,k, came to spend four (in —, me. We had a lot of fun. My si , :ter spent four

Wednesday, July 24, 1963 days at West with Dolores's sister, Carolyn Cepak. They said that they had a whole lot of fun.

I want to mention again and remind our Youth Club members that our picnic will be held on July 28, 1963. We are to meet at our hall at 9:00 a.m.

Remember July 28, 1963, at 9:00 a m.

I know we are all going to have fun, so try to come.

There is going to be a lot of activity during the months of July and August.

I'm sure they will be reported by most of our members in the coming issues of the Vestnik.

I guess I will close for now. May God Bless oath. and everyone of you.

Also. members of the Youth Club remember the picnic on July 28.

Rose Marie Marek, Secty., Youth Club ) 0 (----LODGE 6, COTTONWOOD Dear Club Members and Friends: Our club meeting was held Sunday, July 7th. All officers were present. The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was led by Frankie Mynar and Raymond Hromadka; the Pledge of Order by Bobby Dobecka; roll call was answered by 43 members, with three new members, joining the club. They are Michael Mynar, Bobby Svrcek and Tommy Hubik. We sang "Happy Birthday" to 13 members.

Unfinished business concerned our club picnic and outing. A final decision set the date for August 11th, beginning at 10 a.m. in Mr. Drozd's pasture .near the Cottonwood Store. There will be a cook-out for all youngsters at 12 o'clock, and that should be a lot of fun. Be sure to wear your play clothes and bring your play things, whatever you like to play with, and remember to bring your set-upons.

The parents are invited and we ask them to bring enough food for themmeats, bread, and drinks, so let's all make it a good and big affair. You can bring a friend, if you wish.

We will have our next meeting on Sunday, August 4th. I hope a lot of you will be present to let me know how many of you will be going to our picnic so I will know how much food to provide for the day.

At this time I would like to send "Thanks" to everyone at Lodge 130, Dallas, for their fine hospitality. All of us Who, were there from Lodge 6 enjoyed the day and night very much.

All of my club members who were winners in different categories would like to send their "Thanks," too, to Dis-

VASTNf K trict III, for the prizes and gifts they won and received.It was a big thrill to them, and will always be remembered. I was very glad and proud to have that many from our Lodge participating.

Johnnie Krizan had the honor of being Master of Ceremonies for the first part of the talent program.

I want to remind all of you club members once again to be sure and bring the material I told you about at our last meeting. I want to check with you for corrections Bring it . all to our next meeting.

And remember our big Lodge Picnic on July 28th. We will need some of you to help out, so be sure and come. See you.

Fraternally, Ruth Krizan, Youth Leader ) 0( LODGE 66, WACO Dear Readers, This is my first time to write a letter to the Vestnik. I enjoy reading letters from other boys and girls. My name is Kathy Moore. I am eight years old and I will attend the new St. Louis School in Waco. I am a member of SPJST Lodge 66, at Elm Mott and enjoy the many activities of our Youth Club there.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me sell tickets and a special thanks to each and everyone of you who bought tickets from me, for it was you nice people who made it possible for me to be crowned I would like to congratulate each of the girls for a job well done and espcially our new Queen, Zephyr Spence.

May God bless each and every one of you.

'Till next time, Kathy Moore )O( READY, GO! YOUTH OF DIST. III The contests are over, So Where, you may ask. Well, may I remind you that there are the point and record book contests and this is the BEST time while all is fresh on your mind, to look over your Vestniks, your pictures and your notebook and get everything down in writing.

—Assets behind life insurance policies and annuities with U. S. companies climbed to $133.3 billion. ° —The net rate of earnings on investments of life insurance funds, before federal taxes, rose to 4,34 per cent, the highest in 30 years.

It has been said that a rise of one degree Fahrenheit in the mean annual temperature of the globe would free both polar regions from'their ice.

LIFE PROTECTION GROWS FASTER TITAN POPULATION The number of life insurance policies owned by Americans has grown about 13 times faster than the nation's population since the beginning of this century, according to the 1963 Life Insurance Fact Book, which is being published by the Institute 01 Life Insurance.

But the book points out that the American family's need for life insurance, protection has also been rising steadily with the nation's economic status.

—The average amount of life insurance in force among insured families at the end of 1962 was about $14,300.

The average for all families in the U.S. was: $11,400. While this figure has more than doubled in the past decade, it is still equivalent to only about 21 months of average disposable income' per family.

-Americans have been increasing their total life insurance protection steadily for three decades. At the end of 1962, total life insurance in force reached a. new high level of about $730 billion, including $676 billion with Most any simpleton can do the right legal reserve life insurance companies, thing in the wrong way, but nobody and the rest with fraternal and ascan do the wrong thing in the right isessrnent organizations, savings banks way.

Remember that of all 'the creatures on this earth, only man has an intellect which gives him an immeasurable potential, and yet only to man has God given the gift of laughter. I believe that the latter was meant to compensate for the awesome responsiblities of the former.

NURSING HOMES REPORT ON LIFE FINANCING Life insurance company mortgage loans totaling about $18 million have helped to build 40 per cent of the nursing homes that reported their financing during the first three years of the Federal Housing Administration's nursing home construction wogram.

An initial report shows that some 36 nursing homes, providing over 3,190 beds, have been financed by life company loans. Many of these homes are already in operation.

The individual mortgage loans range from $100,000 to almost $2 million. Seven of the homes are in Texas; three each in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and New Jersey; and two each in California and Oklahoma. There is one in each of 13 other states in every section of the country.

To be eligible for FHA-insured mortgage, nursing homes must be licensed and regulated by state authorities and must contain not less than 20 beds. They may be new or rehabilitated nursing homes, and must provide skilled nursing care and related medical services for people of all ages. Tne maximum, insurable mortgage is 90 per cent of the FHA-estimated value of the property, with

31

provements, up to a maximum of $12.5. million. The, borrower may be a corporation, trust, partnerstip, or an individual.

--Institute of Life Ins. )0(• On July 15, 1883 -- 80 years ago — Charles Sherwood Stratton died at the age of 45, in Massachusetts. Stratton is better known as General Tom Thumb, the name under which he became the most famous dwarf on the American stage. He was born of normal parents and showed no peculiarity until the age of seven months when he ceased to grow in height. When he was 6, his mother took him to P. T. Barnum, the showmanextraordinary, who took charge of his career, exhibiting him before crowds and royalty all over the world. Only two feet and eight inches high at maturity, Tom Thumb was perfectly proportioned, active and intelligent. He married Lavinia Warren, also a midget, in 1862, and they lived together happily for 21 years.
