OD REDAKC\1110 STOLKU Ma-li nage SPJST zdarne pokraeovat a rust, must napeed rust jednotlive eady. To znamena, ze musime a viech eadu stale ziskavat nave eleny a zaroveri zabranit ztratam elenstva. Tato ztrata novYch elena jest na Vence nizkem stupni u nail SPJST, ale peece by se melt najit testy, aby se tento stuperi je gte snail.

Kdyl tak Nov& do toho zahledne takoveto edavodneni ohledne ztratam dienstva: "Neposlali delii dobu pojistne a Z'adrrY za nimi ne gel, nikdo se o nich nestard;" dale, Ze nikdo jich nepozval do schrizich, jsou neznami a pak by peali z nechuti mezi cizimi lidmi.

Zde je videti, ze mac zaleli na organisatorovi, kterY zapi ge noveho Mena Idlo Jednoty, Nestadi jen vzit prvni popIatky a dekat net poile pokladnikovi druhou. Za druhe, zaleh hodne irrednikach eadu, kteei maji obeasne peeh4ednout peijem z poplatkil a je-li moZno, podat zpravu organisatorovi, kterY prodal poji gteni a ma-li peilehtost mel by Mena neb eleny bud' navgtivit neb telefanem zavolat. Ve schiizi se potom muse podat struena zprava jak to s elenem vypada. Zajiste ur'ity podet elena se timto zpilsobem ani 'ZadnYm jinym rreziachrani a to musi kahi'a pojigt'ujici spolednost oeekavat. Kdyt aspori se organisator, dill tad peesvedei, ze udelal viechno co bylo mano udrZet diena v Jednot y , tim bade mit, pei nejmengim, eiste svedomi a dost mclna, ze podet ztracenych elena klesne je gte nae.

Svatopluk oech: RODICUM Za vlast, pravdu, lasku k lidem, svetu, co nine k pisni budi, za to vie, za Idedictvi 'krasnYch snip/ a vzletil, za pamatku mute poctivce, za otcovskou peevelikaa lasku, za obeti, za nadeji zmar, za hrud' zemdleno a v eele vrasku peijmi, otee mai, ten skrovnY dar!

Za to piseri, ja's mne uspavaaa, za ty kyvy proste kolibky, za ten keiZek, jina's mi Zehnavala, za ty tithe, vrouci polibky, za ty dobre oh, pine lasky, za mateeskYch ctnosti eidky zjev, za lic ubledlou a v ni ty vrasky matieko, mai chudy zpdv!

Je to rieelem nagich organisatora a povinnasti viech rifednikii. Zaleh to na spolupraci viech bez rozdilu ad Hi. freadovny at do posledniho radu. VyZaduje to dobrou vuli viech, kterYm prospech Jednoty znameni neco vice net osobni zisk a peij em.

V sjezdovem lisle bude 1.1vefejnen dopis ad! bratra Ferd. Midulky od eadu Velehrad ph Moulton. Bratr Mieulka popisuje jak to loYvalo u venkovskYch eadu peed ranoha lety a jak nyni jsou odbehnute, zanedbane, a jak zanikaji neeinnosti, nasledkem valneho peestehovani z venkova do arrest. Tato "revoluce" zadah nedlouho po ukondeni deprese v pozdnich letech 1938-39-40, a valeena doba tomu pomohla, kdy2 zry-

Shakespeare ptevzal tyto ptirnotske Cechy z novely Roberta Greena "Viterstvi easu", ktera byla ye sve dobe velmi oblibena a vygla, v roce 1588 a pozdeji v nekolika vydanich.

Osudni, noc ROMAN Pokraenvani Strach ji opougtel. Lesmistr, ktereho se, vidouc ho oknem adesila, nevzbuzoval jeji hrtzu, aekoliv byla pi-esvedeena, ae ptichazi misto Kulace. V prve chvili se riomnivala, ae jde ji domlouvati nebo dokonce hroziti, nechtela se ovgem bati, piece vga,k ji bylo velmi nemile. Znala jeho vliv v, krajine a vedela, jab se ho nejen Mei, ale take lide boji. Ted' zaeala nabkvati nadeje, ae snad ma cosi jineho za lubem a jejim mozkem Ilehla domneka, a'e tteba sam zatouAil po jeji Valne se ji nelibil, ale ptilealtost, zaaiti dobrodruZstvi, ji vzneco-, vala.

"Mate pravdu, mohi bych si zatan-

10 eiti a neni vyloudeno, ze to jednou udelam, kdy‘Z mi tianedek slibite. ne2 si o torn pohovorime, rad bych vam nee° jineho rekl. Praia jste si, aby sem za vami priSel revirnik Kulad, je tomu tak, ze?"

"Co je komu, po tom?" odovedela ostre.

"Zdanlive nic, a piece je to vec, kterou musime uvaditi. Rad bych, abyste se na vec divala bez rozeileni a vyslechla me. Kdysi jste mela s Kuladem znamost, to je jiste a Kulad to nezapith."

"Mohu mu to dokazati a taky mu to dokaZi," rekla podraddene. "Jina Isla mem miste byla by se doladovala nahrady a trvala, na torn, aby si ji vzal, ale mne na nem nezale2i, mela jsem lepAi nabidnuti a nechala jsem ho beZeti. Ale kkly' mi poslal pozvani a ja do Zbarate prisla, mel rniti tolik ohledu venovatr mi trochu pozornosti. Nejsens sluZka, mu3j otec ma spoleeenske posta,veni a nezahodil-li se se mnou drive, nezahodil by se 133ival ani tentokrat."

"Snad s vami 'tamed?" povidal klid'sae, stale ji pozoruje.

Jednou ci dvakrat. I to by mi bylo postadilo. Ale on okazale odveda svou Z'enu i tchyni Od stolu, u ktereho jsem s sedela, jako bych byla tak apatna, ze bych je nakazila a to me rozhnevalo. Neclam se tak uraZeti, on mi musi , dati zadostueineni a necla",-li, uka,Zi mu, co dovedu.

Ted' vypadala opravda hrozive, jeji oci hotely, rumenec ji naskoeil a se zlosti tetelila.

"Co byste mohia idovestiJ Snad byste sla a Zalovala nan jeho' pani.

"Ano, to udelam," priky"vla resolutne.

"Ona, vSechno vi, priznal se ji se Nerikal mi to on, rikala mi to jeji matka a te midete veriti."

"Tedy to mezi tamnimi idedniky povim, aby vedeli, jakY je to hodnr, hoch."

"Znate, sled's°, Uredniky, ti se tomu pouze zasmeji a sklidila byste pouze sama potupu. Vim, ze je yam to ihostejno, ale nezapominejte, ze jednou budete se chtiti provdati a kdyby se to vas ,napadnik doveclel, moZna, by nasledoval rozvrat."

Otevrela Sire odi a patrila nan s nemou otazkou.

"Snad mi dobre rortunite, ze to 100vidam, ne abych se yam posmival, ale abych vas varoval."

"Nemam napadnika, nechci se jeSte vdavati," povidala vra qic eelo.

"Sleeno, bud'rne mezi sebou upti-

"Jmenujte ho," Zadala prudce.

"Jak si prejete. Je to mlady i Machala ze 2lutic."

"Kdo vam to rekl?" ptala se ulasle.

"Vy sama, sleeno. Musite bkti opatrnejSi, vite, ze i v noel lze videti, co se zda, bYti tmou skryto. VySla jste s nim ven pred hostinec, to nepoPrete.

"Vy jste as vial?" ptala se zaleknute.

"Kdybych ohtel lhati, mohl bych ze jsem to byl jd, kterk y es vide, ale jelikoz chci bYti naprosto pravdonaluvn3r, povirn pravdu. HajnV vas videl a mile to v pondeli rekl."

"KterY to byl?" tazala se costive.

"To vam nereknu a• nezaleli .na. tom.

Nahodou je to elovek, kterY je mi odclan a kteryr nic nepovi. Zakazal jsem mu osta.tne o veci se gifiti ai proto neni treba, abyste se bola prozrazeni.

Chtel jsern vain pouze dokazati, ze vim mnoho a ze je pravda, tvrdim-li, byste si mohla uSkoditi, kdybyste se ridila pouze svVm hnevem. Ja man' pro vas pochopeni, vAichni lide nejsou stiejne povahy, nektieril jsou klidni, jini se musi vybouriti, aby potom z nich byli velmi poradni lide. Mezi tyto poeitarn take vas."

Sklopila hlavu a bylo znati, lovne premita.

"Co tedy si prejete," ozvala se sn12enS7m hlasem a zvedla k nemu oei.

"Abyste zapomnela ,na to, co jste Kuladovi rikala, abyste ani jeho, ani jeho pani neznepokojovala a pomyslila si, ze vans nestoji za to, abyste se jimi zabSivala."

"Ale on me urazil, at' me pied, svou pani odprosi."

"To on neudela a ani nemide tidelati, sama to uznate, jen co trochu se uklidnite. Priael jsem, abych yea urovnal. Jsern precistaivenVm KuldeovYm a zale2i mi na tom, abych mel mezi Uredniky klid.

"Kd'o mi da zadostueineni?" ptala se dosud podlahajic rozhordeni.

Ve stkedu dne 8. dubna 1964 "Spokojite se ntkm zadostindinenirn, dam vam je misto Kulaee Ja ociPro -sirnva,jksibudetpra." "rim, to je Inado," ohrnovala rty, "chtela jsem to jeho hrdou 2entt P o -tresatijnak."

"ITZ vas chapu," podivil se, nespouSteje s ni odi.

"Na to, co povidate, nemohu yam hned, odpovedeti, adkoliv by se dalo mnoho 11e1. Udelame dohodu. Proza,tim tedy poekam a nic nebuda delati. Do zitrka si to roznayslim a nebude-li vas mrzeti, prijd'te zitra do Satorina. Otec bude na trhu, prijede aZ v noel domti ai reknu yam, na e'en' jsem se rozhodla."

"Dnes byste mi sve rozhodnuti nemohla?"

"Dnes je to vylouteno a take se bojim zde poviclati, co vain reknu dorna, kde neni hostinec. Beztoho jste u nos jegte nebyl a budkr yes moci pohostiti, kdato zde jsem take poulze hostem."

"Musi to tak byti?" ptal se nerozhodne.

"Musi, to je ma podminka," trvala na svem a jeji eel se zvlaStnim leskern ti-pytily.

"Kdy'Z jsem prevzIal povinnost, musim ji spiniti. Prijdu tedy, doufam vaak, e si odnesu vase slib o naprostem klidu pro revirnikovy."

Nebyl si vidom, jak3rm kouzlem nan pilsobila, ale citil, ze vedeni hovoru prevzala vlastne ona a 2. e podleha, jejirn,u1 prani. Na okarnZik se zalekl, ale potom si rekl, ze by bylo detinstvim se lekati. Dorna se velmi lehce ornluvi a Zuza ma pravdu, 2e musi se brzy vraceti.

"Samo sebou se rozumi, naSi lide nejsou zvykli pozorovati, co delam a kdo by na to zapomnel, ten ye dvore se an.i. neohreje. V prve chvili jsem se srachovala, ze prichazite s nejakYin kazanim, to bychom se byli Spatne rozchazeli."

Zasniala se bujne a dfiverne se nail podivala.

"Neeinim se mravokarcem, jsem povdeeen, Ze jsem se s vami setkal a lituji, ze nemam vice easu, abychom si mohli pratelsky vymeniti sve nazory.

Jan je student. On ma pero a knihu. Co je na stole? To je moje tuika. Ueitel ma krida a pile na tabuli tuto P ohadku.

1. In Czech the adjective must agree in gender form with the noun that it modifies. Example: malt' still, (small table, mala kniha, (small book), male okno, (small window). In the vocabulary there are adjectives given showing the three gender endings Y, a, and e.

2. In the reading exercise the feminine nouns krida, pohadka, and kniha, are spelled' with the ending u. This is because in Czech when a noun is used in some function other than the subject or predicate nominatitve, it must be put into a case. The aforementioned feminine nouns are in the accusative case functioning as direct objects answering the question "what?"

The feminine nouns ending in a change this ending to u when used as direct objects.

Byl jeden domeeek, V torn domeeku stoleeek, na stoleeku mistieka, na misticce vodicka, v to vodieee rybieka.

"Kde je ta ryba?"

Koeka ji snedla.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF TIM STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 189

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. O. 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 If the SPYST is to groW as a whole, our individual lodges must groW and serve as a basis for further growth and development. This simply means that each lodge must continue in its drive to gain new members and KEEP them. Our membership dropout rate is one of the . lowest in the country, one that most insurance firms look upon with envy. Still, perhaps ; we can explore means of keeping this rate even lower.

• ♦ When you start talking to people and asking why so-and-so dro pped their SPJST membership, you get answers like these: "Well, they got several months behind with their premium payments, nobody called on them, and they lost all interest." It develops further that no special effort was made to make sure the new member comes to the next meeting; he knows few people in the lodge, and he will feel uneasy at that first meeting.

• • From this we can see that so much depends on the organizer who wrote up their insurance certificate. It is not enough to simply collect the first premium and then HOPE he remita the next one on time to the financial secretary of the lodge. Much also depends on the local lodge officers, who should, from time to time, keep abreast with those members behind in their premium payments, then notify the concerned organizer and ask him to either personally visit, or call by telephone, the member and determine if there is anything further he can do. As a follow up, that organizer can give a brief report on what he discovered at the next lodge meeting.

There is no doubt that a certain percentage of these potential dropouts cannot be "saved" because of serious contingencies in the family circle.

Every insurance firm must face that fact, but if the organizer and the lodge satisfy themselves that everything

HAPPINESS . . WISDOM There are sources of happiness that are quite independent of money. A millionaire does not enjoy a book more than a poor man. Plain food tastes as good to a worker who has earned his dinner as do the choicest delacies to the man whose appetite is jaded from an unnatural diet. The outdoors is as beautiful to a factory girl as to the wife of a factory owner, and the member of the sandlot ball team gets as much fun out of his sport as does a polo player. To understand such things is wisdom. was done that could be done. to keep the member on the books, at least the conscience is clear, and there is always that possibility that la pses will idrop even more. Furthermore, you will be doing that person a great favor.

• • To KEEP members is the concern of organizers, local officers, together with the efforts of all of us — from the Supreme Lodge on down to the last member in the last lodge. Getting and keeping new members requires the goodwill of all, if the progress of the Order means more than just personal gain and profit.

4) In the pre-convention issue, a letter will appear from Bro. Fred Miculka of Lodge Velehrad near Moulton. Bro. Miculka describes the conditions and situation around our rural lodges in the years past, and how, down through the years, the lodges have dropped off in activity, their membership rolls dwindled, lodge buildings fallen into a state of disrepair and deterioration — all as the result of the mass migration from our rural areas into urban centers of vast population. ♦ ♦ This latest "revolution" started not too long after the depression of the

late 1920's had ended, and really picked up momentum during WW II and the late 1940's and 1950's . The period of WW II and all its attendant technological advances, automation, etc., gave further impetus to this migratory movement. Industries boomed, and machines took over man's job at an ever-increasing rate. This "industrial revolution" continues unabated.

Farming practices were also greatly affected. Where it previously took 3 or 4 persons to cultivate, let us say, 150 acres of land, it can now be done by one person and the mechanical monster known as the "tractor." And the two, it turned out, did the job equally well. Productivity doubled and tripled.

Fertilizers were introduced, and yields continue to climb. Machinery became bigger and better. Less and less people were required to do farm tasks. The farms got bigger. Tenant farmers left the farms, school enrollment plummeted in the "country schools" and school districts underwent a revolution called "consolidation." Our rural SPJST lodges were also victims of this movement, and as Bro. Miculka writes " . there is quiet where once the laughter of hordes of children abounded . ."

All that now belongs to the past. The farm families have moved in or closer to town. Our farm surplus is greater than it ever was. Four Presidents and an uncounted number of Secretaries of Agriculture have wrestled with the farm problem. It has not yet been solved. The farmers are still getting larger . "Cats" are replacing the stalwart tractor. The rural schoolhouses are long since gone, and even some of the "consolidated schools" are having trouble with a constant drop in scholastics, particularly where there has been no, effort to lure industry into smaller towns.

VESTNIK

Here are some interesting 1960 statistics, already 4 years old: The 1960 Texas population stood at 9,579,677, an increase of 24.2 per cent over 1950.

HOWEVER, 142 Texas counties (out of 254) lost population ducing that period. The overall gain. was 1 , gistered in some 10 or 12 leading urban counties, those with lar g e cities. Thus, three-fourths of the state's population reside in urban or urbanized areas. In mid-1960, the urban population count was 7,186,011, compared with 2,393,666 rural residents. Twenty years ago, the exact opposite was true. One-half of our state lives in 20 of our largest cities. Three out of 4 Texans now live in a city. Two in 4 live in a city of over 50,000 population. In short, once-rural Texas has become "citified" in a hurry.

The future of our rural lodges is an uncertain one. Their existence is being threatened with the passing of each day. The younger folks do not have the inclination to stay in rural areas. Our urban lodges represent our greatest growth. The smaller cities are trying hard to lure industry with free utilities, tax-free periods of operation, etc., etc. Even so, more of the smaller towns will join the list of those already on the decline.

It is, no doubt, an inescapable fate.

Who can stop it? Who can reverse it?

We must strive to make adjustments to our surroundings. We must continue to have faith in the future. We must not yield to fatal defeatism and inactivity. * Bro. August Kacir, our Supreme Lodge Attorney, reveals his views and thoughts on our much-discussed "surplus." His letter bears careful reading and examination.

I believe that the people of Dallas, and surrounding towns, will not regret coming to see this play, but rather will be glad that they had the opportunity to see - it. "Vesnicka pod lipami" is a very ,good play and one that will provide you with much merriment.

Dear Members and Friends, This is a special notice to all of you to tell you that our next monthly meeting will be held one week earlier, that is, April the 12th, the second Sunday instead of the usual third Sunday.

This change is because the American Czech Festival Committee is sponsoring a play called "Vesnicka pod lipami," which will be presented by the Houston dramatic club Hlahol.

Fraternally, Mrs. Mary Paprskar, Secretary-Reporter LODGE NO 88, HOUSTON Dear Friends, The Easter egg hunt at the new Lodge 88 site, on Easter Sunday, was thoroughly enjoyed by the youngsters.

Youth Leader Clemence Courtney had some real help in dying the Easter eggs from the following: Mrs. Annie Vala, Mrs. Della Katllecek, Mrs. Georgia Zaludek and daughter Georgia, Mrs. Janice Williams, Mrs. Gladys Summers, and Vernon and Gary Courtney.

Those who helped in hiding the eggs were Brothers Amos Kadlecek, Vernon and Gary Courtney, and Hugh and Edmund Williams Eighteen prizes were won by the enthusiastic girls and boys.

Daniel Johnson of Paraguay was one of the youngsters who enjoyed this treat; this was the first Easter egg hunt he attended, and I am sure he is taking pleasant memories back to Paraguay; come to see us again, Daniel.

President Tim Kostom informs me that the Dramatic Club is having rehearsals for the Czech play "Zmokla Slepice." This is a beautiful operetta with many beautiful Czech songs.

Our last meeting March 8th was well attended; everyone enjoyed the lunch after the meeting and the domino games.

See you at the next meeting.

Mary Hale —SPJSTS OKOL HOUSTON Dear Members and Friends: On Easter Sunday, Sokol Houston had a most enjoyable Sunday . A delicious fried chicken dinner was served.

The food was prepared by our most talented chef, Mrs. Anna Soukup, with the help of the entertainment committee. After the delicious meal, Mr. Lad Pa.velka donated the free music for dancing and this was only the beginning. In the afternoon we had an Easter egg hunt for the children.

About 500 eggs were hidden on our grounds and about 50 children made a hasty hunt, The winner and person finding the most eggs was David Hajdek who found 28 eggs. Live chickens and a bucket were also given away but I failed to aet the name of the children.

It was a beautiful Easter day and a very pleasant month. Last year we had our last jaternice sale in April, but this year it will not materialize

Wednesday, April 8, 1964 because the clays are very warm — so our next jaternice sale will probably be in November. Since the days are getting very warm. We hope to have a barbecue in the near future. We have a number of entertainment events for this year, including our gymnastic program and the Sokol Circus.

We had a number of our Sokols participate in the Gulf Coast AAU meet two weeks ago, and although we gained a great deal of experience, our winnings were not as impressive. I have not receive the complete list of winners but Gerald Bily, one of our Houston Sokol gymnasts who represented the University of Texas on the side horse in the senior division, won second place. We hope that even better showings will be made by us next year.

Recommendations For

By-Laws Changes I recommend that the minimum age of policy owners who are to receive the Vestnik be lowered from age sixteen (16) to age ten (10).

Reasons: a. Although a ten-year-old may not "enjoy" reading the Vestnik, parents of the child read the paper, become interested in SPJST through reading, and therefore buy a poliicy for themselves. b. Some customers have bought a child's policy so that they could receive, the Vestnik and take part in SPJST activities.

CONTINUATION OF ARTICLE ON FRATERNALISM BY JOE B. HEJNY

Fraternalism accepts the immutable ; law of life that all things, whether the ,simple, insignlifficarrt implements of daily life, or great world-wide institutions, must contribute to the common good and thereby serve humanity, else they will not live.

The great objective of life insurance is to protect the home and to safeguard the destinies of its members. In fulfilling this obpective, life insurance has distributed billions of dollars to those in need and has made life more livable to almost countless millions.

But the mission of Fraternalism is more than the sale of life insurance.

Fraternalism builds the home, itself, and preserves its intergrity. It is obvious that unless there is a home, then there is no need for that which protects the home; that if there is no home life worth protecting, then there is no need for life insurance.

Modern life, with its inviting amusements and with its means of quick transportation to centers of attractions, has disorganized home life. It has set up conditions that have bewildered parents. It has created problems that are difficult of solution.

But these problems must be solved, if the homes of the nation are to be preserved and the future of its citizens made secure.

The fraternal societies live and operate through their thousands of local lodges which meet regularly in their lodge halls, throughout the length and breadth of the land. These local lodges, in their ritualistic work, establish high home ideals. Through the spoken word, they emphasize great principles that are a guide and an inspiration to fathers and mothers.

Through dramatic exercises, they exemplify these principles and apply them to the problems of daily living.

Times change, but right ideals do not change. Home life changes; new comforts and luxuries of living are added and the old and cumbersome

Wednesday, April 8, 1964 methods of the past are no more.

But the need for proper home life does not, because of a raised standard of living, disappear, The home still occupies the most important place in America's existence. And the love of home does not change. The lives of men and women still center around the homes where their loved ones have lived and live today. The strains of "Home, Sweet Home" must, and will, always, find an echoing chord in the hearts of us all.

There lies the responsibility of Fraternalism. It is a great and a solemn responsibility. And, too, it is the opportunity of Fraternalism to serve its nation, and in serving its nation, to serve all of humanity.

Fraternal activities take a wide variety of forms. In many societies, the charitable feature concentrates in the operation of benevolent institutions officially sponsored and conducted by the society as a whole. Such an institution may be a home for aged or infirm members, an orphanage, or Youth camp. These official institutions are owned and operated by the society.

The official records of the societies reveal but a small part of the vast amount of welfare work carried on by the various local lodges in ways ap-: propriate to local conditions.

We all know that most of our local lodges are dispensing relief from year to year to thousands of our members throughout the land. The monetary cost of this relief comes either directly from the local lodges or from their individual members. in many instances, the revenue for this local relief work is obtained from the, sale of the products of willing hands engaged in crocheting, quilting, cooking, and a hundred and one other ways of doing something, the proceeds of which are designed to brighten the lives of the unfortunate and the sick.

As we mentioned before, the sick members or their families are visited and comforted and helped. Financial assistance goes to the needy. At Thanksgiving and Christmas time, there are baskets distributions to less fortunate members In time of catastrophe, such as great fires and floods, the relief activities of the societies, not only to members but other unfortunates, are effective.

And let's not forget that civic and patriotic activities are valuable, not only in giving the lodge bodies an opportunity to serve outside of their

Wednesday, April 8, 1984 membership, but because they identify the lodge and the name of the society with the civic activities of the community, and receive recognition not obtainable in any other manner. These activities include; participation in parades, community fund drives, Red Cross seal sales, food relief, Arbor Day ceremonies, Boy scout and Girl Scout troop sponsorships, patriotic holiday observances, co-operation in fire prevention programs, and so on. The lodges throughout the United States and Canada have always been active in days of great national troubles.

They have contributed greatly to the establishment of blood banks, for the aid of the wounded in battle, and they have played a definite and material part in the sale of war bonds in both countries.

Many and varied efforts are made, not only to entertain the Juniors, but also to develop them in character and health. Special recreational events are held for Juniors, some with directors especially appointed to look after this work. Their activities include picnics, Christmas parties, dances, musical and dramatic programs, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts, summer camps, etc.; performance of ritualistic work; preparing and ma.kin,g necessities for orphanages and missions; handicraft work; drill teams, athletic activities, such as field meets; organized junior bowling leagues; baseball and basketball teams, clubs, softball, football, igolf, and volleyball teams. They participate in swim meets, track meets, gymnastic meets, roller skating, tennis, archery, table tennis, hiking and cycling trips.

Because of the benevolent activities of fraternal societies — their efforts in caring for the poor and needy, their maintenance of hospitals for the sick and of homes for the aged, their help in time of community emergencies and their support of worthy charitable movements — the state, provincial and If ederal governments grant the sovieties certain exemptions from taxation.

(To Be Continued) With all the money being spent for education it should be possible to set enough aside to teach the Internal Revenue Department the basic English necessary to write an understandable income tax form.

minutes after Brother Sefcik returned to his home following his dismissal from a Caldwell hospital.

Brother •Sercik was born in Burleson County on. July 12, 1906 and lived his entire life near Caldwell where he was a well-known farmer and rancher . A Negro' friend of the family summed up the feelings of many in the community when he sent the following message to the bereaved family after the funeral services: "Although we are of a different race, we held Mr. Sefcik in high esteem and respect. We felt that he was a man of good will toward all people. His jolly nature and his devotion and consecration to home, field, and flock, and all that the Lord made him steward over, will long be remembered and will be spoken of, as a pattern for others to emulate. He strove to beautify and dignify all that he did, and to me, I shall always think of him literally and figuratively as `the man who plowed a straight furrow' ".

Brother Sefcik is survived by mis wife, Millie (Zalmanek) Sefcik; two sons, Dennis and John Edward; three 'grandchildren; a brother; and two sisters, all of Caldwell, Texas. Rev. Danielr Marek conducted the funeral rites, with burial in the New Tabor Cemetery.

To the loved ones and to our esteemed and respected long-time member, we wish eternal rest, and may his memory be honored unto eternity.

Youth Section LODGE NO 6, COTTONWOOD Dear Vestnik Readers, I want to thank the Supreme Lodge for the ten dollars that I received for second place winner in the Point System contest, in our Lodge Youth Club.

Thanks also to the Vice President Joe Hejny for the nice letter of congratulations.

It is a nice project to keep up with for a whole year. I hope many more of our Youth Club members will take part in it. I hope all members get to attend our meetings, since we now have our own room to hold meetings in. The hall looks wonderful and it is something to be proud of.

Thanks for all those who donated Easter eggs for our hunt. We had a wonderful turnout. Now we are looking forward to all our summer parties and outings.

----SPJSTDallas, Texas Dear Readers, I would like to express my thanks to Mr' Mrs. Kanlufik for teaching and making it possible for us to have a Czech school. I would also like to thank Mr. and Mrs Halouzka for coining and teaching us Czech on their time.

The Czech classes begin at 9:30 and last until 11:30 a.m. We have learned new words in Czech which I have found very interesting. Czech is really not as hard as some people might imagine . The accents are a little dif ferent to get accquainted with but you can catch on in a short time. Mrs. Halouzka was the main teacher and Mr. Halouzka our history teacher. We met in the Great American Life Insurance building for our classes on Saturdays. I am very thankful to these people. I hope in the future there will be more Czech schools for others and myself, so we can increase our knowledge.

Mnoho Stesti, zdravi a spokojenosti.

For The Housewife LEMON MERINGUE PIE Here is a recipe of one of the most famous and favorite pies in all America.

7 tablespoons cornstarch 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 11/2 cups hot water 3 egg yolks, beaten 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (or frozen) 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 9-inch baked pie shell MERINGUE 4 egg whites 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 8 tablespoons sugar Mix cornstarch, sugar and salt thoroughly in saucepan. Pour in hot water and cook over high heat, stirring constantly for about five to six minutes or until mixture is thick and translucent. Remove from heat and add beaten egg yolks. Return to range and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for about four to six minutes.

Take off heat, add lemon juice and butter or margarine. Stir until butter is completely melted and lemon juice is blended well. Cool before putting into a baked pie shell. Top with meringue.

For the meringue, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy and white. Gradually .add sugar. Beat until stiff but not dry. Spread over filling, being careful to attach the meringue to the edge of the crust.

Wednesday, April 8, 1964 FOOD IN THE NEWS Most newsworthy item on the food front this week is that beef supplies continue to be abundant . Generally, this means the appearance of frequent "specials" at meat counters, Beef short ribs, stew meat and liver make for economical and nutritious !dishes, says Mrs. Gwendolyne Clyatt, EXtension consumer marketing specialist. Consider the various cuts for pot roasting, and check price tags on round steak as well as T-bone, porterhouse and sirloin steaks.

Poultry counters also offer a wide selection at low cost. Look for real buys in fryers, chicken hens and eggs.

Heavy demand and somewhat limited supplies will keep prices up on many fresh vegetables for the next week or so. Variety and quality of the vegetables has improved . Items to consider are cabbage, carrots, celery and cooking greens. Other selections include head lettuce, asparagus, cauliflower, green beans, broccoli and tomatoes.

Apples from storage continue in good supply at moderate price levels.

The supply and quality of fresh strawberries will depend largely on weather conditions. Other good selections are pineapples, lemons, avocados and oranges.

Finocchio, sweet anise or Florence Fennel are different names for the same vegetable -- a delicate looking white bulb with a light green feathery top which is a favorite for holiday meals. The bulb, or stalk, may vary in diameter from three to four inches.

The vegetable's mild licorice-tasting flavor can be used in place of celery in a salad, braised in meat stook, steamed or creamed like celery. ♦ • Males who are meat and potato eaters and who scorn salads will do well to take another look at their diets, says Dr. W. W. Baer, director of the American Medical Association's health education department, Chicago. "Don't dismiss salads lightly," he says. "Look what such food does for the male rabbit. He's light on his feet, has no paunch, and maintains a lively, romantic interest."

4), • The typical American family spent $1,500 on groceries last year, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But say home economists, this grocery bill can be cut as much as 10 per cent with

VESTNfK smart shopping practices such as supermarket "specials."

• 4, Bacon is the most popular meat with all age groups, according to the Market Research Corporation's National Menu Study. Hot dogs and hamburgers turn up on the tables of the wealthy more often than the poorer families; and 25 per cent of all chicken is eaten on Sunday.

• • Powdered grapefruit juice, which 'dissolves easily in water and has a good fresh flavor, is about to be market tested although it is still in the experimental stages. Developed at Winter Haven, Florida, by scientists of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service and the Florida Citrus Commission, the scientists used the foam-mat drying process developed at USDA's Western Utili zation Research Laboratory, Already on the marget is a dry grapefruit juice, powder made by a vacuum drying process, also developed by USDA scientists.

Six of every 10 teenage girls and 4 of every 10 teenage boys have poor diets, according to Extension Service foods and nutrition specialists at Texas A. M. University. In an effort to improve diets of teenagers, the EXtension specialists are working with county home demonstration agents and County Program Building Committees in many Texas areas where youth diets do not meet recommendations of the National Research Council.

MOWING TOO SHORT? Many lawns would be much better if not mowed so short. Repeated tests and observations of home lawns indicate that 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches is the best height for St. Augustine and zoysia.

A close crewcut may give St. Augustine a better appearance for the moment But this won't last since the lawn then becomes more vulnerable to weeds, insects, and diseases.

Close cutting is a physical shock for the plants. The roots stop growing for as much as a week. Worse, the heat of the sun's rays bear down on the exposed tender crowns and harm the new green leaves.

If you have been mowing St. Au-

25 gustine quite short, try raising the height of cut a half inch or so and see if you don't have a more satisfactory appearance to your lawn.. By the way, you will discover higher cutting also conserves moisture.

• • UNDERSTANDING FUNGUS DISEASE Possibly no phase of lawn growing is more confusing to people than the part involving the action of fungi which cause disease. These fungi are Parasites, of course, dependent upon living vegetation for their sustenance.

They destroy green tissue by v ithdrawing starches and sugars. Result, brown leaves, eventually destruction of the plant.

Fortunately, most fungi are not very aggressive. Sturdy, properly nourished grass is able to replace the destroyed foliage. But if the weather continues favorable to fungus activity, lasting damage may occur. Weeds may encroach because of reduced grass vigor.

This is why any fungus attack should be considered potentially serious and worthy of prompt attention.

HOW TO SELECT A GARDEN TRACTOR A new breed of farmer is checking machinery prices and comparing tractor horsepower this spring.

He's looking for the best knee-high tractor for his suburban farm . The farm is his lawn and garden. Yet he is as serious about plows, planters, mowers and other equipment as his counterpart with a thousand acres.

To help urban machinery buyers with, selection of a garden tractor, agricultural engineer, H. P. O'Neal, has some suggestions.

O'Neal is the farm power and machinery specialist with the Texas A and M. University AgTicultural Extension Service. He believes selection of a garden' tractor requires checking points farmers check when they buy a big tractor.

Selection should be based on safety, economy, utility and ease of operation and maintenance, according to O'Neal.

Safety is one of the most important considerations, he said. For safe tractor, guards should be provided over all moving parts. Wheels should be wide enough to prevent tipping.

"A machine is safe if it is easy toy, operate," O'Neal said. "Garden tractors' should have controls that are easy to ,engage and disengage especially if

26

VESTNfK

women or children will be using them."

Another factor is economy, "If the buyer wants the most power per dollar, he will be better off With a twowheel, walking model," he said. "But riding models are so much easier to handle that the added cost may be worth the difference."

To save money, buyers should compare models to find the best value and one that is easy to service. O'Neal reminds gardners, "You can't drive to a gas station when you need an oil change or grease job."

Other points to check for economical service include: tires that are low-cost and easily procured, sturdy construction of both tractor and matched

Wednesday, April 8, 1964

that can be handled with home tools, heavy bearings that will require little servicing or that are simple to grease, and accessibility of parts that will need maintenance.

Transmissions should have at least two forward and one reverse speed, according to O'Neal.

An enclosed gear transmission costs more than belt driven types but they tend to be sturdier and safer. If the machine is belt driven, make sure belts are large enough to pull heavy loads tithout slipping.

Electric starters will be a necessity for most buyers, O'Neal said. Only those who are experienced with small gas engines should try to get along without them.

"When looking at garden tractors, check the attachments that are made for them. Make sure they are designed for the jobs you plan to do. Find out if atachments you want are available and learn how difficult it is to mount them," O'Neal suggested.

Before making a purchase, O'Neal advises gardeners to follow the example of good farmers.

He said, "Good farmers buy from reputable dealers who have parts and service available. They get a demonstration on their farm and find out about the maintenance and operation of the machine and attachments. Only then do they buy. Gardeners should do the same thing if they want satisfaction from their little tractors."

For Your Information: POISONOUS SNAKES BULLETIN AVAILABLE "Red and yellow kill a fellow," has been used by many outdoorsmen to help identify the venemous coral snake found in most counties of the eastern half of the state.

The cottonmouth, rattlesnakes and copperheads may lack some of the choral snake's brilliance, but they possess their share of venom and have characteristic scale patterns and colors that distinguish them to the hunter, fisherman, hiker or bird watcher.

Texas' sixteen species and subspecies of poisonous snakes, with full color illustrations of each, are described in the Parks and Wildlife Department's revised Bulletin No. 31, "The Poisonous Snakes of Texas and the First Aid Treatment of Their Bites."

John E. Werler, the author, also provides the color photographs for this attractive and informative publication. Mr. Werler, director of the Houston Zoological Gardens, has performed a real service to Texas outdoorsmen with his treatment of poisonous snake recognition and an even greater service with suggestions on precautions to be used at home and in the field which will help prevent snake bite . He presents a modern, step-by-step, recommended procedure on the first aid treatment of snake bite as well as helpful information on snake bite diagnosis and suggestions to physicians who may treat snake bite victims.

This bulletin is now available for free distribution. For your copy, write to: Parks and Wildlife Department, John H. Reagan Building, Austin, Texas, 78701. Handyman Hint: To clean small parts, drop them in a perforated coffee can with a center rod and handle attached. Dunk the can containing the parts in a large can partially filled with gasoline or other solvent.
