Bo2ena Valeikova ---SP:JSTTRO k ' CIJ VICE SVETLA

Ve Vestniku ze dne 11. brezna na strance 21 v anglicke easti je doporueeni na zmenu stanov. WA se mi, 2e eleni sotva porozumi, oS se j •dna, ponebude lepsi vysvetlem, J,sme jako tmave mistnosti, kde neni dosti sv'etla.

Bratr J. M. Skrabanek, teditel pateho okrsku, navrhuje nasledujici zmeny stanov: (1) Aby byli zru geni okrskovi orgonisatori. (2) Mistopredscda Hlavni Uradovny, kterY je nyni statnim organisatorem, mute nyni vesti organisaeni praci s nepatrnYmi vYilohami, jestli vtibee s jakYmi. Co2 abychom rozsvitili a poznali, co mame pied sebou, Bcd prvni, aby zru geni byli okrskovi crganisatori, protole je s nbni velke vydani.

Bod drubLY, hlavni mistopredseda mule tato praci, jako nyneji statni organisator, provadet s nepatrnYmi nebo se ZadnYmi vViohami.

Kdybychom poladati v gechny nage advokaty, Itch jsou eleny Jednoty, aby nom nasli v nakch stanovach, ze mame, zamestnavame nebo platIme jakekoliv okrskove organisatory, v nagich stanovach by to nena gli. A nenagli by to ani ye sjezdovem jednani. Take nemanse nikde ve stanovach, ze u Jednoty existuje statni organisator. Jestli ch.ceme neon v na,§lich stanovach zmenit, napreci to musime najit a mit.

Jedine misto, kde se ye stanovach mluvi o jak3"fchkoliv okrskovYch organizatorech je elanek 36-d, kde je napsano, Ze mistopiedseda ustanovuje a

Ve Stredtt dne 18 brezna 1964 Propou;ti okrskove mganisatory. Dale tarn stoji, Ze mistoptedseda je hlavou odboru organizaeniho, ade nikde ye stanovach nenajdeme, Ze mame statniho organisatora.

Mame ale ye stanovach elanky, Ze redtele poladuji ad vSech hlavnich nrednikU (tedy take toho, kdo je hlavou odboru organiza..eniho), aby podali vYkaz sve prace, totia jestli se co ida zlepgit, jestli v neeem neni velke vydani. Samotna Mavni firadovna ma pray.° Wait dal gi povinnosti kteremukoliv firedniku.

61eni znaji praci a platy hlavnich firedniktl, ale nikdy nebylo oznameno, kolik platu dostavaji okrskovi organisatori, ani kdo tyto platy ustanovil.

"Jsi ty rchytrak, jak hned uhodne.

"Ted' je take ma a ona uz ma. zkueenost."

"Nie s nim nespravim, nic se uz neboji," stYskala si vesele. "A mde pravdu, nebyti maminky, nebyla bych ti ela naproti. Ona ma nyni radeji tebe nez mne, malem bych k villi tobe dostala.

Rozzlobila se a vypadala ye svern rozeileni komicky. Kulae rad'eji mleel, nechteje nejakYm neprozretelnym slovein mnoliti jeji epatnou naladu.

"Maminka ti nic nenaznaeila CO zamYeli?" ptal se poi chvili.

"Nic", pokreila rameny. "Tolik jsem ji prosila, laby mi rekla, co 'ociela, a povi-li mi, jak to udelala, ale odbyla mne, abych nebyla tolik zvedava. Naramne se divila, ze to lesmistr ,uposornoval.

Pohrozila mu a jeji hlas byl takovY opravdovY, ze nepochyboval o prav Idivosti toho, co povida.

"NehadeS miti o tern bych s tebou hoyokil, dam si pozor, vyplatila jsi mne jak "Vida, rozmazleneho hoSieka, jak si bolest pofoukava," durdila se.

"Byla to vetSi bolest, net se domnivaS," povidal vatne.

"Opravdu? Odpust' mi to tedy a pfestaii ut s nakkem, nine to nyni rnrzi."

Vyskoeila a posadila se mu na, klin, ruku kolem hrdla otoella a lichotive se k nemu privinula.

"To vii, nekdy se bolest udeld, anit by elovek chtel, a od toho jsou man.tele aby si odpouaeli. At j a zasioutim, jen mne dobte vyplat'."

Zapomnel na svou vYtku a pin nadteni, te drti term v naruei a te tak upkimne mu doznava, jak mu ublitilela, pidneslo mu, nahradu za tetke chvile, ktere protil. Jako dva milenci se libali, Aeptali si, at Klara se mu z naruoi vyvinula. VSecka ve tvaki hokela a oei ji svitily niternYmi plameny.

12 ICLAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 1897

SINi

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.

—HERALD—

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

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK With June getting closer with eadh passing day, our coming XIX Quadrennial Convention occupies many of our thoughts and is the predominant topic of many conversations. It might be prudent then, to suggest that we not let the coming convention completely eclipse all lodge activity between now and then. To use the wellworn axiom, "the show must go on," and although the coming convention is certainly important to us all, we must not overlook or let up with our local lodge activities . The convention will be here and overwith, and our local lodge organizations must still continue to function and make strides forward.

Of particular interest are the various contests coming up, both in the local lodges and on the district level. Each lodge should be giving serious consideration to having a young lady repre-unt them on the district level in the Miss SPJST of the 1964 Convention competition. From among the seven entrants a Miss SPJST will be chosen at the convention in June. This is a unique and special honor. By now, lodges should hove elected, or chosen a young lady to represent them in the district competition; if not, they should see to it very soon. You will be helping your lodge by "putting it on the map" if it is one of the smaller lodges; you will be helping spread the SPJST idea; you will help some young lady engage in. some friendly competition with some very nice people; and lastly, but by no means least, you will be cooperating with your local and district youth leaders, who are all working hard trying to put these competitions together. They need and deserve your cooperation — from every lodge in the district, Every lodge, big or small, has a chance. Every girl entered has a chance . Do not let this opportunity pass your lodge by. Get in the game!

OPTIMISM Talk happiness. The world is sad enough Without your woes. No path is wholly rough; Lock for the places that are smooth and clear, And speak of those, to rest the weary ear Of Earth, -so hurt by one continuous Stain Of human. discontent and grief and pain.

Talk faith. The world is better off without Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.

If you have faith in God, or man or self, Say so. If not, push back upon the shelf Of silence all your thoughts, till faith shall come; No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.

Talk health. The dreary, never-changing tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale.

You c annot charm, or interest, or please By harping on that minor chord, disease.

Say you are well, or all is well with you, And God shall hear your words and make them true.

With doubt and dismay you are smitten, You think there's no chance for you son?

Why, the best books haven't been written; The best race hasn't been run.

—Berton Braley

Other activities that will occupy the spring and summer spotlight in every lodge are dances, picnics, outings, barbecues, bazaars, and so on. These too must be conducted and put over with everyone's cooperation if they are to be successful. Yes, even with the preoccupation with the convention, all these activities, plus many others, must still go on. Each lodge tries to remain financially solvent, and many of these activities are the source of such solvency. Remember to use the medium of the Vestnik to let people know what is going on in your lodge. The "Entertainment Calendar" page is a very popular page in the Vestnik, and lodges and their entertainment committees should take advantage of it.

If you have something going on, "advertise." All it will cost you is a 5c postage stamp and a minute of your time.

0 Several letters to the Vestnik in recent weeks have indicated that those "running" for an office in the SPJST should let that fact be known. The emphasis has been on those running for a position in the Supreme Lodge, but this E hould also include other positions, such as that of District Director, Each individual must decide when he will "toss his hat in the ring," but it would seem that the sooner the better. In this regard, let me say that announcements of candidacies should not be based on a platform of being AGAINST some other individual, but rather FOR someone. Let's keep it clean. Let's keep it honorable — FRATERNAL. Let's keep personalities out of it as much as possible, at least as far as the Vestnik is concerned. The two announced candidates, for District Three Director and their announcements are an example of what I mean in this respect. Both candidates are abiding by the principle of real fraternal spirit. This is as it should be.

What anyone says outside the columns

Wednesday, March 18, 1964 of the Vestnik is his own affair and his own responsibility, of course. o • Sunday, March 8th, marked a memorable event in the life of Sister Albina Farek, member of Lodge 35 (Nove Kvety), Elk. A large host of relatives and friends gathered at the Sanger Avenue Nursing Home to pay tribute to Sister Farek, and to witness the presentation of Sister Farek's paid-up endowment certificate. Such presentations and occasions are rare. Like the number of charter members, their numbers are few.

Including Sister Farek, there have been nine (9) recipients of paid-up endowment certificates. There are only five (5) of them living, and four (4) are deceased. The deceased are Brothers Marlin Kovar — Lodge No. 84, (Dallas); Josef 1Vlotl — Lodge 47 (Seaton); Joe Surovik — Lodge No. 17 (Novy Tabor); and Sister Marie Mattis — Lodge No. 81 (Needville).

The living five holders of naid-up endowment certificates are Sister 'Terezie Valchar — Lodge No. 16 (Hallettsville); Rosie Sontag — Lodge No. 24 (Cyclone); Marie Esterak — Lodge No. 87 (Placedc); and Sister Farek.

Also Brother Martin Hajdik — Lodge No. 14 (Mixville).

All of these noble members are over 96 years of age. The oldest of the group, and the oldest living charter member of the SPJST, is ',Sister Terezie Valchar of Lodge No. 16, who will be 102 years of age in June of this year.

Along with our six living charter members, we salute these nine pioneer members, We owe them much.

Speakin.g of upcoming meetings, we have six spring district meetings ahead of us, the first one being that of District II, to be .held on March 22nd at Lodge No. 15 in Buckholts. It's been said many times: each lodge should be represented at these district meetings.

The advent of 'spring and summer also signals renewed interest (and digging) in the family garden. Bro. Otto Hanus' articles should be a very helpful guide in our varied yard and garden activities. Bro. Hanus has had many years experience in this field, and we are indebted to him for his expertly-written articles. Don't miss them!

VE S TNI Also of a special nature are the various remodeling projects taking place at some of our lodge premises.

Lodge No 88 is building a new structure; Lodge No. 6 at Cottonwood has just about completed their remodeling; Lodge No. 54 in West has finished their renovation. If there are others, we would like to know about them. All this spells progress, and indicates a "live" lodge. I should not forget the extensive remodeling and decorating at Lodge No. 66 in Elm Mott, near Waco. e

TIME magazine, in the issue dated March 13th, 1964, page 65, gives considerable notoriety to the imported Czech "Black Theatre of Prague," presently on a world tour. It's fascinating!

We've mentioned this group in our column, "Cultural Notes" several times.

SIX BIRTHDAYS ARE LIFE MILESTONES FOR ONE PERSON IN 12 EVERY YEAR

The age-old salutation of "Happy Birthday" involves more than the customary - felicitations for millions of Americans every year For an increasing number, in fact, it marks a major turning point in the life cycle with implications of more than ordinary significance for the economy and for the nation at large.

There are six of these "threshold" ages as defined and tabulated by the U. S. Bureau of the Census — 6, 14, 18, 21, 62 and 65.

Number Up By Third The figures show that in the year ended last July the calendar brought one of these milestone birthdays to 153/4 millio n persons, or about one in every 12 in the population. This total represented an increase of more than 153/4 million persons, or about one in when the groups' proportion came to around one person in every 13 in the population.

Of particular interest in a Presidential election year is the increasing number of those reaching the age of 21. For most of these it means the first assumption of the full obligations of citizenship via the ballot box since only four states — Alaska, Hawaii, Georgia, and Kentucky — permit those under 21 to vote. After a backward performance during the Fifties, the number turning 21 began to move up

13 in the last few years, and crossed 211/z million in the 'year ending last July.

At the age of 21, too, the future has begun to take shape for the great majority. While some continue their education to provide the specialized knowledge and skills in such demand in these times, most have already begun 'their working career. And a large number have likewise assumed the responsibilities of family life. The latest Census Bureau figures report over a third of the men and more than three out of five of the women of 21 as married.

The School Ages The first of the Census Bureau's "threshold" ages is six, when most children start schoOk The number reaching this age crossed 4. million for the first time in the year to last July, aboet half again as great as the comparable figure in 1950. It is this growth which has been such a large factor in the pressure on the nation's school facilities in. recent years, underlying much of the big rise in educational costs and expenditures of state and local government.

The age of 14 is the next turning point, for it is then that a boy or girl is first tabulated as a member of the labor force by the Census Bureau. Usually, too, it marks the beginning of secondary school education with entrance into high school . In the year ended last Jul y , 31/2 million youngsters reached the age of 14, some three-fifths more than the comparable number in 1950 and representing the fastest growing rate of all the "threshold" ages. The big increase in the number turning 14 started in 1961 as those born in the early postwar "baby boom" entered their teens.

These days, of course, few go to work at 14 in the usual sense of this term.

In common with other teen-agers, however, an appreciable number of 14year-olds begin to earn some money part-time or after school and thus get some idea of the value of a dollar.

In the home, too, millions of youngsters begin to receive something of a lesson in family money management through life insurance and the ownership of other savings.

Early Lesson in Thrift

For example, the figures for 1962 show the purchase of 21/2 to 3 million policies or ordinary insurance, with a face amount of protection of at least $6 billion, for the age group under 20 years old. A total of more than $50 billion of life insurance protection in

force is currently estimated to be Outstanding on teen-agers and young children.

The second turning point in the teens is age 18, and the number reachtrig this age came to 23/4 million in the year to last July, over a quarter greater than the figure in 1950. At 18 many young people enter college, become subject to military service, or join the work force. The figures also show that about one boy in 20 and nearly cne girl in four is married at that; age, too . In another year the number reaching 18 will rise sharply, increasing by around a million over recent an-. nual levels, as the babies born since 1916-47 begin to reach that age.

The final two "threshold" ages come toward the end of the active working life. Permissible retirement at age 6' is now general under Social SecUrity, and more than 1 1/2 million reached this age in the year ended last July. In thi same period, over 1.3 million persons reached 65, the more common retirement age !under both private and public plans. Both these figures are about a quarter higher than those in 1950.

LODGE 35, ELK The regular Lodge meeting was held cn Sunday, March 8. We sure had good attendance and it was nice to see all of you there. Come again next month.

The meeting was called to order by President Antone Pavelka.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by the Youth Club girls. Then President Pavelka turned the meeting over to Vice President Rudolph Zalman because Brother Pavelka had laryngitis.

Brother Zalman recognized the visitors.. We were pleased to have them visit with us. They were Mr. and Mrs. Joe Nesloney, Mr. Milam, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brietkreutz, Mr. and Mrs. John Dulock, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Banik, Mrs. Vernon Wood Mrs. Ella Breitkreutz, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Hanus of Lodge 66, Mr. Nick Morris and son, our editor, from West.

Mark A. Uptmore was accepted as a new member.

Minutes were read and approved.

Brother Vernon Wood reported on the water and asked the members to conrider buying a drinking fountain.

Youth Leader Sister Ruby Pavelka asked about an Easter egg hunt for the children. A motion was made and seconded that the lodge buy eggs for an Easter egg hunt. Children, watch the Vestnik for announcement of the time and place.

Brother Zalman asked Mr. Nick Morris to say a few words. He talked about the District Three meeting, and also announced he was a candidate for Editor.

Brcp her Urbanovsky talked about the SPJST Lodge; how it has grown over the period of years, and stated that we should encourage the young members to come and participate in the lodge activities and duties.

Brother Otto Hanus said he always enjoys coming to Elk. "It's like coming home," he said.

Brother Edward Marek made a talk about the presentation of the insurance to Albina Farek. She reached the age of 96 on February 29. She was the 9th person in the Order to receive this kind of certificate. Brother Marek suggested that we make Mrs. Albina Farek a honorary member for life. The motion was made and sec-

onded. We then made Mrs. Farek an honorary member of Lodge 35, for life.

Brother Marek made a wonderful speech. I wish. I could have written it down word for word, but I can't write shorthand.

The meeting adjourned.

A supper was served and music was provided for entertainment. Moving pictures were shown. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Ernest Banik Reporter —SPJSTLODGE NO 15 BUCKHOLTS

Dear Members and Friends, A special SPJST lodge meeting will be held Sunday, March 22nd, at the RVOS Hall at 2 p.m. All of the members please attend this meeting.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Lorene Schroeder —SPJSTSPJST 'SOFTBALL TEAM, LODGE 84, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: With spring just around the corner it's time once again to bring out the baseball equipment and to start preparations for another season of softball at Lodge No. 84. We will again field a softball team in the men's Dallas City Commercial Softball League, and this will be our 11th consecutive season of having a team. All of the fellows are looking forward to the

coming season and plan to hold their first practice workout on Sunday, March 15th A couple of business meeting were held during the month of February at our lodge. Plans have been made to hold our annual Softball Team Benefit Dance on Saturday, May 30th at our Lodge Hall, 2625 Floyd Et. This year's dance will be a special "battle dance," featuring the Polka Peppermints and The John Rejcek Orchestra.

We hope that this year's dance will be one of the best we have ever sponsored, and we will all work toward this goal.

We hope that we will have all of our same sponsors — the business firms that pay for the advertisement on our uniforms. Without their financial assistance, it would really be hard for us to field a team again this season.

As soon as all of the sponsors are contacted, this list will be included in one of our future reports.

This report is several months late, but I must make a few comments about our Annual Sports Award Banquet that was held at White Rock Lake last September. Since we didn't win a champion ship last Season, although we did earn a berth in the City Championship playoff, we did not have a steak supper, but we had a "crow feast" instead, as alternative menu.

Not only did Sister Annie and Brother Otto Janusek furnish the "crow" (chicken), but they also presented the team with a unique and decorative "Black Crow" trophy on a styrofoam background with these words, "The SPJST Fraternal Insurance Team." We were overwhelmed with their gen.ero-ity of furnishing the chicken and we are most appreciative of their thoug htfulness in presenting the team with the unu ual but most welcomed cnbv. We will always treasure this memento along with all of our team trophies and accomplishments that have been bestowed upon us in the past. Annie and Otto, we thank you both from the bottom of our hearts and we also want to thank Willie and and Carlyn Ondrusek for the contribution that helped make our Sports Award dinner such a success. The beverages and gifts were appreciated by all that were in attendance. We also wish to thank everyone who in any way helped make this occasion such a success, and especially the chefs. It is always the climax of our season to have this final get-together.

May we again say "thank you" to ev-

Wednesday, March 18, 1964 eryone who helped make last season such a pleasant and enjoyable one.

Larry (Connie) Brennan was awarded the "Most Valuable Player" trophy plus the "Team Batting f.Tharnpion' trophy.

If there are any prospective players who would like to try out for the men's softball team, please contact Paul Valenta, our team manager, Albin Vrana, his assistant or myself, and we will give you all the necesssary details. We will be practicing probably every Sunday afternoon and also will have some night practices, so see us if you are interested. We plan on playing n only one league this year, so thaw will mean playing only c night a weekWe hope that we can keep you informed concerning o u r progress through the medium of the Vestnik, and we know that our editor, Bro. Nick Morris, will give us his fullest cooperation and we are most appreciative of his help. (Good luck! — Ed.) Fraternally, Ben Jarma LODGE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Friends, I would like to thank all the youth who took part in the Easter Program on March 1st. With so little time to prepare the program our young members did real well, considering the whole thing was put on without the benefit of a practice.

Our program was held in conjunction with our monthly mee t_t ng, so it wasn't very long.

Here is the program, as we had it on March 1st: 1. Welcome — By Cheryl' Divis 2 "Easter Wishes" — By Anna Marie Jakubec, Donna Kohutek, Walter John Jakubec, Joseph Kotrla, Anna Rose Divis, Frankie Novosad, Jr., Karen Kohutek, and Becky Vanicek.

3. "Down by the Riverside", duet by Anna Rose Divis, accompanied by her mother.

4. "Tribute of the Flowers" — By Frank Klinkovsky, Janette Hruska, Edwin Joe Pechal, Ricky Novosad, Brian Vanicek, Anna Rose Divis Daniel Kotrla and Donald Pechal.

5. "Easter Flowers," song by Janette Hruska and Anna Rose Divis.

"Easter Rabbits," by Daryll Divis 7. Cowboy's Lullaby" duet by Anna Rose Divis, accompanied by her mother.

My appreciation and thanks to all

Wednesday, March 18, 1964 you parents who brought the little ones. They are a wonderful bunch to work with.

I especially want to thank Sister Vlasta Hruska for helping me cut with the program. I couldn't have put it on without her assistance.

Hoping to see you at the District II Meeting on March 22nd.

Fraternally, Vlasta Divis, Ycuth Leader -SPJSTLODGE 15, DUCKHOLTS

Dear Vestnik Readers, Friday night, March 6, the Entertainment Committee held a meeting.

Vice Chairman Sister Lillian Kruse opened and conducted the meeting in the absence of Chairman Bro, Harley Cox, who was out of town. The treasurer's report for the month of February was presented by Sister Rosalee Ruland.

We are very pleased that the first two months of this year have been successful; we had good attendance at all our meetings, and other functions.

The members of the Entertainment Comrnittee,together with all the various other Lodge 88 members, who are the Birthday Club Sisters, Youth Club,

VE,STNIK and Dramatic Club, will try to give the best type of entertainment here in Houston. They have plans for putting on various types of dances, plays, and many other colorful functions.

Our first dance after Easter is on Saturday, April 4. Music will be furnished by the Sil Krenek Orchestra of Wallis . They played for a few of our dances the past year, and we enjoyed dancing to their popular music.

Then on Saturday, April 11, the Ray Baca Orchestra will play for our regular Saturday night dance.

Then, the two following Saturdays we will have the Randy K Orchestra of Weimar, and then the Henry Brosch Orchestra of Moulton. Be sure you mark all these dates on your calendar and come out and join us for your dancing pleasure. We would love to have you, and be sure to bring your friends along.

Fraternally yours, Evelyn Vornsand -SPJST-LODGE NO. 92, FORT WORTH

Dear Members, The annual Easter egg hunt at Lodge Svaz Cechoslovanu No. 92, will be held on Sunday, March 22, beginning at 3 p.m. The eggs will be furnished by the lodge . There will be several prize eggs.

There will be a contest for the best decorated egg. You can design them anyway you wish, and a prize will be ,given for the best decorated egg.

The next dance will be on Easter Sunday, March 29, 1964. For reservations, call MA 4-0251, National Hall, 3316 Roberts Cutoff. The music will be by the popular Music Masters, from Ennis . Everyone is invited to come and bring your friends. Klobase sandwiches and coffee will be sold in the kitchen at this dance.

Fraternally, Mrs. Mary Paprskar, Secretary-Reporter -SPJST-LODGE NO 6, COTTONWOOD Dear Members and Friends, I guess everyone is ready for that good ole' spring time weather by now since we can leave those ground hog days behind us. Both the gardens and grass are looking good. So that's why we want to see the grass grow because we will need it for our Easter egg hunt next Sunday, March 22. We will use the same procedure as we have had for the past two years. I am sure everyone remember the rules. They

21 are: a prize egg is every group; a gift for every prize egg found; and the , c,hildren will be divided into four groups. Be sure to remember to bring your Easter basket and wear your play clothes, not your club uniforms.

Try to be at the hall at 2:00 p.m. Some of us may have to go elsewhere for our hunt.

There will be no program this year because our hall is still unfinished, and I have no time for the arrangements due to the daily servings to the working brothers at the hall. But keep this in mind now that we will have the opening of our remodeled hall on Mother's Day, May 10th, with a program on that day.

I still would like to go back to the story of our kite-flying contest, which was held at our last meeting. It was a big surpriee and thrill to me to see so many of the youngsters and adults take an interest and come out with so many of their kites. I have never seen so many kites flying in my life at one time. I just felt sorry for the judges; they had a hard time picking the winners.

I hope everyone in the contest understood that it was a very difficult decision. If any reader who knows the best way to judge a kite-flying contest, I sure would appreciate hearing about it. Since this was our first contest, we gave four prizes in each of the two groups.

Winners of the Teen Group were: Robert Hubik, Jeanette Krizan, Carolyn Mynar, and George Mynar . The winners of the Junior group were: Michael Marek, Robert Dobecka, Michael Jarma, Raymond Hromadka Jr.. The tots in the honorable mention group were: Margaret Lander, Carol Dobeeka, George Mynar Jr. and Mark Zapalac, I hope no one was offended and will come back and participate again next year.

I want to say "thanks" to everyone for coming. We really did have a large attendance. There were about 50 youngsters , and almost that many adults. The prizes were donated by "your's truly."

All members and their families and friends are invited to the Easter egg hunt and supper on March 22nd . Don't forget to bring a covered dish, enough for the group that you are going to bring.

Ruth Krizan, Youth Leader

Recommendations For By-Laws Changes Lodge Svaz Cechoslovanu, No. 92, Fort Worth, recommends to the ByLaws Committee that: (Article 46) (G.) The Supreme Lodge pay four (4) percent to the local lodges at the end of each year of the premiums remitted to it during the preceding year (New Article) That the Supreme Lodge procure, at the expense of the Supreme Lodge, the Blanket Fidelity Bond for the Financial Secretary and Treasurer of each local lodg,:.

(New Article) That the Supreme Lodge grant a $500.00 scholarship, travel expenses, to and from SP3ST-sponsored activities, to the "Miss SPJST."

--SPJSTLET'S HAVE AN EXPLANATION

On page 21 of the March 11th issue we find a highly complimentary reccommendation to dispense with the District Organizers because the production does not justify the expenditure involved.

Before the members, and delegates in particular, can form an intelligent conclusion either for or against, a few questions should be answered.

First, what article in the by-laws should be corrected? Our by-laws do not reveal that we do have, or that any previous convention authorized, the district organizers. It is stated that the vice-president appoints and discharges district organizers.

Second, what procedure is followed in determining the efficiency or the qualifications of the prospective candidates before they are selected and appointed?

Third, who decides on the pay, commission of remuneration of the district organizers? Has the convention ,given any directives in this respect?

Has it ever been mentioned on the floor of the convention?

Fourth, who passes on the production of the district organizers? Is it the vice-president alone? Do the directors examine the effectiveness of the services, either of the head of the Organizational Department or of the district organizers? Do they ever compare the production with the cost?

Fifth, what is the pay or commission of the district organizers?

VP,STNiL: Sixth, hasn't all of this orginated gradually as an organizational matter and developed by steps within the confines of the Supreme Lodge, and without ever being reported either to the members, to the delegates, or before the convention?

Seventh, isn't this a matter which the directors should look into as directed by the by-laws? Have they been neglectful? And if so, for how long?

Eighth and finally, couldn't the delegates (or even members, for that matter) get a complete report on each district organizer showing his production and his remuneration so that an intelligent comparison could be made?

The suggestion for the change of bylaws would be good and desirable, if we had such an article in our by-laws.

Sincerely and fraternally, Stephen Valcik

Yards and Gardens

By OTTO HANUS Are you a string saver? Every gardener should save string, milk cartons, cans, plastic vegetable bags, and many other things most homemakers usually throw away. It's amazing and rewarding to find uses for so many items that are seemingly useless, items which can usually save you time and money and give you more pleasure than any other hobby.

Take string for instance: properly tied together it makes it easier to lay off your rows straight, so that your planting doesn't wander all over the garden; makes it easier to cultivate later on and it is about the handiest item there is to tie plants to stakes or wire. If your plants insist on growing higher than your stake, trellis, or fence, then you can easily extend this higher with string.

Now what could empty milk cartons be good for? There are many uses for them, such as cutting them into two equal parts lengthwise and using them to start your fine flower seed for later transplanting. You can also use

27 the two halves for small parts in your shop. You can cut them in two the other way and you have two nice pots for starting your bulbs early or any other plants. Later, these can be set out in the proper growing place. You can cut out both ends and use these as worm guards around your tomato plants by pushing them into the ground for worm protection.

What about cans, especially fruit juice cans? These are ideal to grow small plants after rooting in the first season , They can also be used as worm protectors by cutting out the tops and bottoms. Cutting one end off on a bias evenly and screwing in a wooden handle on the closed end gives you a nice scoop to scoop up dirt.

Just use your imagination and you will find lots of uses for them.

Plastic bags can be used to cover plants to protect them from frost; they can also be used over pots of precious plants as a miniature greenhouse. Just drive a small dowl or stick in the center and stretch a bread bag over this to keep from injuring your plant and tie around your pot and it's an ideal miniature greenhouse. That's only one use: tying up your prize fruit in these handy plastic bags, or prize blooms are other ideas. Slip a bag over a prize peach or a bunch of grapes and you have protection from birds and other pests, and the fruit can still ripen naturally.

Children love ice cream on sticks, and these little sticks if washed and saved make ideal markers for plant labels. Used tin foil is also useful; it can be hung in your garden on strings and as the wind revolves it it will scare away birds; if wrapped around old pots it will quickly freshen up their appearance It can be used to wrap young tender trees near the ground to keep rabbits and other pests from gnawing on -them, as nearly every country grower has experienced.

Many a tired kitchen utensil can find use in your garden work. A worn sifter or strainer can be used to sift soil, peat moss, balled fertilizer, and many more old pots can be used to start your seed in, plus many other uses. The old worn-out mop or broom handle is ideal for a plant stake. Even that old Sunday paper can be used by folding the sheets into hatlike tents and put over plants when there is danger of light frost.

Going back to the cans: when I was a boy I used to save gallon-size syrup

cans and planted watermelons around them. With a few holes made in them they make an ideal watering can; with the melons planted around them all you have to do it to fill the cans two or three times a week and the melons will grow. A pinch of fertilizer will really grow some whoppers this way.

'rise services are featured at some P arks such as Monahans Sandhills.

Other popular parks which usually draw throngs of Easter egg hunters and such are Garner, Inks, Huntsville, Lake Whitney, Tyler, Fort Parker, Caddo Lake, Possum Kingdom, Goose Island, Abilene, Stephen F. Austin, Bastrop, Buescher, Lake Brownwood, Davis Mountains and Palo Duro Canyon.

Texas farmers and ranchers had a record 10.3 million head of cattle on hand at the end of 1963, the U . S. Department of Agriculture said recently.

This topped the previous record of a year ago when the total was 1.0,2 million. Prior to that, USDA said the record high of 9,8 million was established in 1891.

In addition to cattle, increases were noted in the number of goats, chickens and turkeys on Texas farms and ranches at the close of the year. But sheep totals declined 4 per cent and hogs were down 11 per cent.

Total value of livestock and poultry on farms and ranches was put at 1.2 billion dollars, down 12 per cent from a year ago. The value decline was attributed to lower prices.

In another ,report, USDA said January hatch of egg-type chicks in Texas was 1,271,000, down 28 per cent from a year ago. The total broiler chick

TEXAN WINS TOP PRIZE FOR BOAT HULL DESIGN For 30 years Henry Dornak Sr., of El Campo experimented with a radical theory of boat hull designs. His work finally paid off for him at the recent New York Boat and Sport Show.

Dornak was awarded the National Gold Cup Award for safety in boat design.

Dornak first came to national attention at last year's Miami-Nassau powerboat race.

It started with an article by Houston Chronicle outdoors writer Bob Brister which had come to the attention of some personnel from Chrysler Corp.

The article had suggested great things for Dornak's hull design, a design that allowed a boat to plane off quickly and carry a remarkable load with little horse power.

The Chrysler people, who build marine engines among other things, agree they would provide some test engines and Dornak, and his son, Henry Jr., agreed to build the boat.

The end result was the "Nova."

Before that, the Dornaks' experience had all been with outboards. They knew little about how to mount inboard engines, or counter - rotating propellers, or cooling scoops.

They also did not know that some manufacturers spend $20,000 rigging out a boat for the race.

They did know they had a good hull design.

They installed the engines and barely managed to complete the job the day before the race. They had one quick test run then sat back and hoped ior rough water, which their boat would thrive on.

The water was calm the day of the race, but the Dorak hull was running in front of the pack at the start, moving so fast that her air bubbles wore through two layers of fiberglass and two layers of plywood.

She lost her rudder control and finished the race half crippled — but fourth over-all. It was a clear cut victory of an amateur over pros, comparable to a high school golfer finishing in the money on a PGA tour.
