Mimo sehtize sedmeho okrsku jsem se saeastnil kaZcle schilze vSech okrskti jako vloni. V kakle schttzi bylo videt neco jineho, neco tkebas nVveho, ale jedna vec byla vkly jasna: mohlo bYti vice tadit zastoupeno. Po :thy ou rokach mame poznamky, ke nektere kady (a obyeejne ty stejne) vilbec neposila j i zastupce do schnze okrskovYch. Ptieina? Je slykt, ke je nedostatek easu, daleka costa, mot •dlouhe jednani, a nepochopeni cilu bratrske jedricity.

Ve stteda dne 13, kvetna 1964 chce je to fakt a jsou to' ntisledky nakho moderniho socialnino zarizeni.

Ji2Z nekolik let zpatky provedlo zkoumac', oddeleni na Yale universite pruzkum po celYch Spoj. statech a, zjistilo, 'Ze ten nejlepS1, zurivY, a nejschopnejSi reenik mute poeitat to udrZi pozorneist svYch posluchan pritmerne jen, sedm minut. Po tech socirni minutach ztraci posluchaei na zajmu a pozornosti. To je ale ten NEJSCHOPNEJSI reenik. TrebaZe ten posluchao a jeho mysSlenky vylitnou na vterinku nekam jinam po svete, je i mo2ne se vrati a dd. znovu pozornost. Tedy je treba, aby kaZdY reenik, ktery chce udrZeti pozornost s yYch, pc;sluchaeti chce proniknouti svYqui navrhy a mySlenkami, aby se omezil na tech sedm minut, treba i • Bratr StaSa navazal na uhou otazku, o ktere jiz bylo nee° zmineno a zajiste prijde na, tadu behest sjezdu. A to site: maji se propustit olaskove organisatolri a dojde-li k jejich propusteni, co by se melo neinit jiako nahrada. Nevim, zda-li by mohl kdo v cele nagi jednote odpovedert na beton na auto otazkiu. Musime opatrne pokraeovat, aby nepovstala, nebezpeCnii mezera v organisaeni praci, tim nepoSlodili jed,note vubec. Nesmime zruMt nee°, co behein nekolik let jsme peelive vybudovali, a co behem nastavajicich par let se nam borhate osvedei. NevyhnutelnY fakt ale je, Z • e mnoho naSich radovYch organisatorn jsou n'espokojeni s nynejS'im zavedenym zpilsobem a zda, se nepcpularni. Nekteri se otevi-ene nevyjadfi a mlei jsou-li spokojeni nebo ne.

Maji snad obavy, ze vyskYtnon se osobni uraIky atd.

•

Nedavno jsem slykl tento nahled, kterY by se mohi vykonati budou-li okrskovi organisatoti propusteni a to site, aby so ustanovili tzv. obiastni doIllaitele till "regional supervisors" anebo "contact men", ktej .i by byli spojkou mezi hlavu organisa6nibo oddeleni (mistopi-ed iseda) a radovYmi c'rganisatory. Jeden by byl jmenovan mistopi.edsedou pro severni east statu, druhy pro stfedni Cast, freti pro jinni Cast, etvrtY pro zapadni east, a snad pats" pro Cast statu kterY nyni tvoil sedm okrsek. Tito dohlaitele (na tituli by ti'Z' nezalehlo) by ueinkovali pod primSTm dcizorem mistopfedsedy a by byli placeni jen za praci vykonanou podle nialrizeni od mistoprecTsedv, kde a kdy ureeno, totiZ milovne a pripadne ubytovani a dennj. mzdu. Cvieeni a Sko-

Ve stredu clue 13. kvetna 1964 leni novjrch organisatorti by mel na starosti mistoptedseda a jeho clohlilitel, podia potreby. HaclovY organisator by si ponechal cele komisne a by byl zoclpovedny za svoji praci prime mistopredseciovl a svemu ra"dki. Bylo by nutne aby se seeastnil karZdeho cvideni a scheze, ktere by svolal mistopreciseda a prc"jevil zajem o organisdeni praci v jeho okoli , Tim by snad zavist, a Zarlivost zmizela a kamsi organisator by byl zavisly jen na sebe a svoji odhodlanosti. PrenlySlejme o torn, Zilstava na delegatech, aby se presvecteili do zaliajeni sjezdu, o mipeni jak radovych tak i okrskovYch organisatarti.

Ku konci chd jun navazat na jegte jednou vec v dopise bratra Sta gi a to, za ". . . Hlavni iiraclovna a predsjezdovY idbor stanovni odporuell zvykini vraceni procenta rachim od nynejgiho eve procenta na tri procenta. Poked vim, elenove Hi. itradovny se doposud pisemne ani firedne nevyjacifili ohledne tohoto procenta. V aisle Vestniku ale ze dne 1. dub. 1964, jsem psal v mojich uvallach, ze eleni Hlavni iniadovny a nag aktuar pan Werkenthin, jsou pro to, aby se vratilo racitim — a ne vice — neZ 4 procenta, tatiZ dv lakrat tolik jako nyni. Dale, poked vim, stanovni vybor jecline odponueuje vraceni 3 procenta radtim.

VESTNIK teto "name prilezitosti v donineni, ze se tam projednaji aspon nekterd ty hkaivnej gi body naSich stanov.

Z nejakYch mi neznamych k ticArm nedoSlo. Neni tedy divu, ze nekteri na g i spolkati to tiZ dosti clavno prirovnavaji vice k pikniktim, nez ke schtizim. Ani to nav gteva zdaleka neodpovidala tome poetu tech radii a elenstva ze sousednich radn. Prieina?

No rad bych chtel videt toho, co by se chtel vystavit, aby aspon easteene jasnil takovou choulostivou otazku.

Doufam, ze ta, pri gti-schlize sedmeho okosku, ktera, bude na podzim nekdy v mesici zari a rade eislo 56 v Corpus Christi, Texas, bode eetneji zestoupena. Ti co maji na starosti jidelnu a zasoby kuchyne, maji veZny problem uhadnouti jak to zatidit, aby yeachny obslouZili a nakrmili aby neziistal velky prebYtek. DrtiZni a zkugene kuchaiky a ktichari co pekli na roSti ty kurata, meli pripravenY chutnY obed, kaZdY si mohi poslouZit die sveho vyberu. Diky vSem..Pres poledne a pied odjezciem k domovu po prograrnu zbyla jeclina moinost si s nekterYnn pomlevit a vYmenit nahledy o kterYch jsme eetli ye Vestniku.

Poclane navrhy na zmeny a opravy stanov pro XIX sjezd, SPJST od radii 'Oslo 56 a 79 byly uverejnene ve Vestniku 29. ledna 1964. Mezi te'mi zmenami je odporueen elanek odsta.vec (d) vypustit ze stanov. Onen clitstavec pojednave. o okrskovYch organisatorech. No.vazal jsem rozmluvit tedy na tento hod.

Zde bylo poukazano, ze je nutno dobre uvaZovat, co mtiZem dati v nahradu, aby nepovstala gkodliva mezera oftstranenim tech okrskovYch organisatorii, kteri byli die usne geni sedirrunitello sjezdu ustanoveni na zkou gku, bYti nepemocni bratru mistopredsedovi Hlavni Uradovny a zaroven napomocni fadovYm organisatortim. Zavecienim techto organisatorfl pro kaZdy okrsek jednoho, se mein docilit mezi radavynai organisatory vice spol(uprace, vice ponareeni v poilgt'ovani. zaroven usnadneni prate mistopredsecliovi.

Dle mojeho a mnoha j inYch pozo •ovain se ukazalo, ze ty veeerni tak zvane " gkoly" nevykonaly sve poslani.

Prieina? Maly zajem, kratky a snad novhoidnY eas veeerni, pro vzcialene cestovani.

Take se ocekavalo,ze ty malo (Thine a neeinne rady budou povzbuzeny, \Tysleclek? Posud'te sami! Tarn kde domaci pen si neme2e udelat poradek, bylo by blahovosti a doternosti, aby nekdo jinY mu ho tam zavadel a udr2oval. Jsou narn znetine pripady, kde

byly zvenei eineny pokusy k lepgima a ono se to obratilbi jegte k horgimu.

Pojigt iujici spolky jsou jako ty pokusne zemecielske stanice, vydrZovane statem, z penez vYbrar4th od dameplaten,. aby poslouZily tem co radu patfebuji a oni Zadaji. Takova, rada se zdarma. Mnoho je nas co na to platime, ani by jsme meli z toho pHmy tilitek, ale jako celek obeanti teto zeme, je to pro na ge dobro. V techto s•anicich nebudou po jistYch zku genostech seti ,semena zernedelskYch plodin, ktere se neosvedeily, znovu rok po rokr, ani je nebudou prodavat zemede.lmiun . V tomto zernedelskem odboru statnim jsou zamestnani d•bre placeni. odbornici, kteri stale planuji jak zaokonalit nejen semenia, ale i pada pro ty semena pripravit, aby sklizeri byla uspokojiva, vync$na.

My take mame u na gi Jednoty placane iniedniky, ov gem z rozdilnYm take platem. V nekterYch pripadech snad Postaeitelne, ale ye vetgine pripadech nepostaeitelne.

KdyZ je nekterY ten Urednik dosti clbalY a vytnalezavY zvY git jeho vYkon, ma, s toho taitek cely spolek. Jestli je atednik nedbalY a mai° vYnalezavY, pak spolek tim trpi. Vracina se zpatky k tome bodu, co by se mohlo "ueinit v. nahradu, v padu, ze by meld dojiti k propu gteni tech okrskovYch organise.torn. Premy glel jsem o tomto predmete, a doufam, ze bude miij nahled brany co prijatelnY, pa dal gim dopineni bud' Illavnimi tiredniky, aneb (deny stanovniho vYlooru a po pripacle i jinYch radovYcli organisatortt a sjezdovYch zastupcti.

Dle mojeho osobniho nazoru bych clammed tech :satin okrskovYch reditele ku prevziti tech povinnosti, jen2 nyni konaji ti okrskovi organisatori.

Jestli to mohi delat bratr J. M. gkra• banek pa nekolik roka proe by to nemobil delat vaichni teditele?

Oni jsou Reny Hlavni tiradovny jen s tim rozdilem, Ze nejsou zamestnani v Hlavni iikadovni a dostavaji men gi platy.

Zaroy en by take tomto novYm zavedenYm zptisobem odpacll nynej gi nerovnY pomer, jen2 je main poptilarni (po na-

4 iem mein obliben), mezi tadovYini organisatory.

Slyiel jsem dosti sti2nosti, 2e tadovi orgianisatzti jsou v nevyhode proti tern organisatordm, co zastavaji mista teditehl. V innoha pfipadech pri delani ptijeek na majetek, je ptiletitost upsat vetil cbnosy 2ivotniho pojiiteni ku kteremu obyeejnY tadovy organisator nema ptistup. V takovYch piipad,ech j e te2ko obstati v soutai a pH nejlepil vuli nelze ,cddolat pocitu, jen2 se zmocni vyvolanim povstalYm soupetenim a zavinuje zavist a 2arlivost.

Co se tVka elanku 46 odstavec (g) zvYieni ze dvouch procent (2%) aspori na 6%, jak je cloporueovano od tada Oslo 56 a 79 nedtoilo porozumeni.

Poznal je ut ye starer "Hiasu", kde zadinal, o'dkud vaak zahy odeael a ujal se redakce "Vesny Kutnelhorske". Zia nejaky mesic vratil se vaak z Kutne Hory do Prahy a v eervnu roku 1868 byl pkijat dr.

Juliem Gregrem do redakce Narodnich Listir na upozorneni Nerudy, jent ut tehdy vide v Arbesovi nevaedni talent. Krome toho byl vzat take proto, to adpoveclnY redaktor "Narodnich Listn" Karel Tama mel nastoupit temet tti roky talate a bylo tteba hiedati noveho odpovedneho redaktora, odhodlaneho podstoupiti tehdejai 11(161 :novinatia kriminal. A ani Arbes tomuto osudu neuael a odsedel si za "Narodiai Listy temer paldruheho roku. Pa navratu ale nevahal °pet usednouti za svaj opuatenY still.

Podle souhlasnYch spra y redakenich druhtl byl Jakub Arbes ptimo "rozenk novinat" a nezmarne pilny, pracovnik v redakci. Zvlaat'. davernYm ptitelem byl Neruclovi prave tak jako Nenada jemu. A piece, kciykoli dr. Pulius Gregr byl dohnan neblahou finaneni situaci k redakenim restrukcim, byla Arbesova existence ohrokna! Dvakrate, anit Arbes o tem veal, odyratil od neho propuSteni jecrnou avodnikot Narod.

Skvele koncipovana romannetta jsou vrcholem &skarn yypravedskeho nineni, ktere se osvedeilo i v drobnych pavicikach, kresbach mno2stvi -povahopisnkch, literarnich divadelnich studii, z nicht nektere jsou shrnuty do znamenitYch sbirek, na pk. "Zahadne povahy" (1892), " ye slutbe umeni" (1886), "Nesmrtelni pijaci" (1892) a j. Arbes, sam celou bytosti 'urnelec, dokonale pochmil nejhlubai problematiku tvoticich genie a r. 1886 vydal zakladni dilo o Machovi. Literarni osobnost Arbesova je v ,ciejinach Ceske beletrie jiste jednou z nejsilnejaicli.

Mluvnice — Grammar 1. The First Conjugation: The verbs that belong to the first conjugation generally end in "ati." In the above vocabulary there are two such verbs, davati" and "volati." To conjugate them we take off the ending "all" and add the verbal endings as follows: davati — to give Singular 1st person davam, give 2nd person davafg, you give 3rd person (lava, he, she, or it gives

11

Plural davame, we give davate, you give davaji, they give 2. The negative verb in Czech is formed by prefixing the partcle "ne before the verb.

Example: "ne" plus the conjugation of "bVti," to be • • Singular 1st person nejsem, I am not 2nd person nejsi, you are not 3rd person neni, he, she, or it is not Plural 1st person nejsem, I am not 2nd person nejsi, you are not 3rd person neni, he, she, or it is not • • Plural nejsme, we are not nejste, you are not nejsou, they are not Note that the third person singular is different. It is "neni" instead of the expected form "neje".

BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 1897

—HERALD—

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

FROM With the meeting of District Seven a thing of the pa .t, that leaves only r.3istriet Five and District Four, the latter holding their meeting annually in the fall. With the exception of District Seven, I have attended all the district meetings, just as I did last year. Although all these meetings are a little different, in one way or another, one fact is always clear: more lodges should be represented, Our notes tell us that some lodges (and they're usually the same ones) are almost never represented at the district meetings. You hear all sorts of excuses: lack of time; too far to go; meetings last too long; too many things going on; lack of interest; and a lack of understanding of what a fraternal order Means and tries to accomplish.

9

In this issue of the Vestnik, in the Czech section Brother Stasa of Corpus Christi laments the fact that " . . many of our members have long since charged that these district meeting are more like picnics rather than meetings . Attendance from the lodges keeps dropping olf." He also points out that some of the vital issues pertaining to our by-laws were not discussed.

I have attended si:.st about all of the district ineeting , , and as far as I could observe and hear, those in attendance were, in each case, given an opportunity to express their views and opinions on just about anything. If this chance was not extended in District Seven on May 3rd, it is the fault of the pre iding officers. However: members do net always express themselves, even when given the chance. Maybe they don't want to; perhaps they feel they have nothing to contribute.

The point here, hoWever, that arrests my attention is the matter of attendance and the sequence in the agenda of the district meetings. So far, the agenda runs something like this: a business session (starting some-

THE EDITOR'S DESK SUCCESS FORMULA

The formula for success is best determined by reviewing the lives of successful people. Regardless of their business or prole7sion, birth, education or creed, certain traits of personality, certain ways of doing things stand out above all else. These people have nothing that you and I don't have or can develop.

The successful people are those -Who get things done quickly and quietly.

Who get to work on time and don't watch the clock for quitting time.

Who listen to instructions and accurately execute them, Who do not alibi fOr mistakes.

Who don't think the world "owes them a living," Who are neat in appearance.

Who are always courteous to 'everyone.

Who are determined to make good.

With these traits there is no limit to the success that may be achieved. Age and lack of •experience are ohno consequence: both seine with times in the morning), a break for the no-on meal, resumption at 1 or 1:30 p.m. with the youth program and related activities, and then the concluding bu-iness session. Many members see fault in this .arrangement, and it has become increasingly apparent that a change might be in order.

Most of all, the morning business se icn i5 poorly attended. The crowd nddenly swells around mealtime, and largc-..- and larger by the time the entertainment portion gets under way.

After the yceth program and the entertainment is finished. bedlam, confusion and restlessness take over.

There is a mass exodus and about half head for home. The chair then has to make repeated pleas and announce-

ments in an attempt to restore order.

The remaining business has to either be pushed aside or hurriedly placed. in the lap of the district officers. Many complain that the whole thing lasts too long and that the seats are too hard.

We would, therefore, recommend that the sequence of the program be altered so that ALL business is dispensed with BEFORE the entertainment and youth program, including the selection of the next meeting place, date, and the election of officers.

These last items are usually lost and muddled in the confusion that follows the entertainment. In this way, perhaps, some members might stick around who wouldn't otherwise do so.

There thoughts and ideas were expressed and explored at the District III meeting recently in Dallas. The youth will be patient if the adults set an example, and if the leadership proceed a little more rapidly on a planned basis. .

If we don't move to correct this situation , we will be faced with the same old problem of indifference and poor attendance.

Regarding long speeches, we recently heard this explanation from one of our older members: in the old days, when people lived some distance apart and didn't see each other for weeks or maybe months, they were eager to get together, visit ail day, and listen to long speeches. Everything captured their attention. In this time of teleVision, radio, telephone, fast automobiles and super highways, or at least goad roads, people are no longer as eager to . sit and listen to long speeches. No matter to what you attribute this situation, it is the result of our modernized . society.

Not so many years ago, a research group at Yale University, after months of exhaustive study, came up with the

Wednesday, May 13, 1964 conclusion that the fieriest, most captivating speaker could hold the complete attention of his audience for a maximum of seven minutes on the average. After seven minutes, interest wanes and starts dropping off, and the speaker starts to lose his audience, one by one. Now, this is the top-notch speaker, Some of the listeners, whose minds and thoughts leave the speaker momentarily, may return for 2 fleeting moment noW and then.

It is therefore necessary for the speaker to limit himself to these seven; minutes, or less, if he wants to hold the attention of his audience long enough to get across what he'd like to get across.

Brother :Stasa also touches on ent other point in his letter, a point that will surely come up at the coming convention, namely, whether we should dispense with the district organizers, and if we do, what system we should re place them with.

I know of no one in the whole Order who has a concrete, definite solution to this question. We must, however proceed with caution, being Careful that we do not destroy something that we have carefully built up over the years and which will bring rich benefits in the not-too-distant future. An inescapable fact is, however, that many local organizers are unhappy with the present setup. Some will not say so openly for fear that doing so will lead to personal animosity. That should not be.

I recently heard this plan proposed, in the event the position of district organizer is eliminiated The proposal would call for the appointment, by the vice president, of area or regional supervisors (call them what you like), who would serve as the link and contact between the vice-pros. and all his organizers. The V-P would appoint one for the north-central portion of the state, one for the central portion, one for the southern section, one for the western section, and one for the farsouth section comprising what is now generally District Seven. These "supervisors" would function directly under the V-P and would be paid (this is important) mileage, lodging and per diem for the date, place and purpose specified by the V-P. The training and breaking-in of new organizers would be up to the V-P and his supervisors.

The local lodge organizer would keep his entire commission and would be

13

Emily 1VIynar —sea ST— TO THE MEMBERSHIP OF

DISTRICT NO. 3 Our Brother, Cyrill (Sid) Pokladnik published his announcement as candidate for the pcsition of Director of District No. 3 of our Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of exas, to be elected during the forthcoming convention, to be held at Waco, Texas, beginning June 15 of this year.

In his announcement, Brother Sid Pokladnik rnentkins his activity in matters of importance to Lodge No. 84 and the SPJST as a whole. But his other qualifications, those which because of his modesty, he did not menVon, are ,cf much greater importance, as they really fulfill the exacting duties of a Director in our Order.

Brother Sid Pokladnik did not mention his extensive experience in j ridging real estate, city and farm, of which he has considerable, including reparian rights. His city real estate consists of downtown business buildings owned solely by him or as a part owner, and 'dwellings, modest as well as pretentious, as well as considerable farm acreage. This ownership and management of real estate gives him the ability to judge property values, se necessary to any Director of our SPJST. Lodge Pokrok Dallas No. 84 has benefitted very .much by his activity in recruiting members for our Lodge and the SPJST, but he never benefitted by this activity, giving credit for writing new members to other Organizers of our Lodge.

Considering all these fine qualifications of this really active member, we proudly recommend Brother Sid Pokladnik as Director of our SPJST and member of the Supreme Ledge.

This recommendation was unanimously adopted during the April 1964 meeting of Lodge Pokrok Dallas No. 84, 2625 Floyd Street, Dallas, Texas. /s/ Frank B. Steiner Emil Petr John Kubacak Mildred Baleja Annie Steiner

Jimmy, son of Brother and Sister Amos and Della Kadlecek is a member of Lodge 88 and has been very active in the Youth Club. Congratulations Jimmy.

Once again Lodge 88, is proud of the Dramatic Club "Hlahol" for their magnificent performance of another one of their fine operetta plays "Zmokla . Slepice," which was presented here on Sunday afternoon, May 3rd.

This Czech Club is the oldest of its kind in existence that we know of in Texas, so if you will pardon us, that's why we are so proud of all these faithful actors and actresses. We had a good attendance and the response and applause at curtain time was music to all the members of the cast.

The scene of the play was in a laundry owned by Brother fa-kly eifcik who also had a beautiful daughter, played by Sister Birdie Hilshar. She was the apple of the eyes of the laundry helper Pepa, played by Brother Tim Kostom, and the milkman, Tonik, played by Johnny ,Sula. They all tried to win her hand with song and music.

Then, all of a sudden, Franta Nepil, played by Emon Kouha, delivers a special delivery letter from an old friend of Brother Sefcik_ It was from Damon David, played by Karel Matejka, and his son Celestyn, played by Jan ,Schreiff.

They introduce themselves in a song which also explains the term "Zmokla Slepice." Damon is trying- to escape

VESTNIK from Frony, played by none other than Mary Johnson, who did such a wonderful job. She brings her beautiful daughter Markytka, played by Wilmine Simicek who in turn falls for Clestyn (Jan Schroiff). It ended with comedy and song and then everyone is happy.

Thanks again to the Dramatic Club, the musical directors, assistant Brother J. Pokorny, Sister Naomi Kostom, and prompter Sister Frances Olexa.

Mr. Ed Zalesak and Charles Kueera and another gentleman whose name we failed to get provided music between acts and also for the free dance that followed the play. Many thanks to these fine gentlemen.

We wish to remind all the members, that on ?_.:Uriclay, March 17, 1964, the District Five Spring meeting will be held at Lodge stefanik No. 142 located at 5508 Nelda. St. in Houston.

For the convention program we are now preparing a Souvenir Convention Program Brochure that will contain many interesting ,SPJST activity photographs. It will be printed on fine book paper and will be the kind of book that every member will want to keep for years. In this book we are selling space to anyone who might want to place a. congratulatory message, greetings, cr advertisement of their business. These ads, we feel, will be beneficial to advertisers, and the profit from the sale of these ads will be used to help defray convention entertainment activities. The cost is

$60 per page, $35 per half page, $20 per quarter page and $12.50 per eighth page. We will also have a page with the following heading: "Congratulations and Best Wishes to the XIX SPJST Convention." Any member may have his name placed on this page by sending $1.00 to the writer. Please do this now because time is running out and we do want every member to have an opportunity to extend his or her greetings to the convention. Any lodge that would like to have an ad in this brochure please send us your copy as soon as possible and we will do the rest. In sending your copy, if you want any special emblem printed please include a mat in your copy. It will be returned as soon as it has served its purpose.

Those of you whom we have already solicited and have not sent the copy for your advertisement, please don't delay, send in your copy today. Help us put out the best Souvenir Program Brochure that has ever been printed and one that will be wanted by every member to take home and keep.

Later, or in the convention issue of our Vestnik, we will give you the complete program as it will be worked out for your enjoyment between business sessions. We assure you that we will see to it that your stay in Waco will be pleasant and enjoyable.

Fraternally yours, Otto Hanus, Convention Arrangements Chairman 2424 Gurley Waco, Texas Phone, Business PL 4-5611 Home PL 2-2254 --SPJSTABOUT WEDDING PICTURES

It has been the policy of the Vestnik that we charge for publishing wedding and engagement pictures of SPJST MEMBERS. The reasons for this are obvious. Charges will cover the cost of having a cut made, plus postage. The cost will depend upon the size, but will range from about $1.90 for a small onecoTurnn picture, to around $6.50 for a much larger picture.T hese will be published on a low-priority basis, when there is sufficient space available.

To accompany such pictures, the sender should always indicate which SPJST lodge he or she is a member of, and the writeup should have an "SPJST slant."

-SP J61"-LODGE NO. 66, WACO Dear Readers, I have found just a small amount of time to write. With the end of school three weeks away I find that time grows short.

Since my last letter our SPJST Teenage Youth Club has held two meetings. The March and April meetings were only two weeks apart. Because of the busy times around here our lodge decided it would be better to have the meeting on the first Sunday. At our meetings we planned and gave a graduation party to the three graduating seniors: Sharon Engelke, Gene Miller, and Zephyr Spence. Everyone enjoyed the party held at Linden Hall on April 24, 1964.

On the fourth Sunday our Youth Olub traveled to Dallas where we were very proud to say we brought back winners. Sharon Engelke won State on her merit book, and Jean and Zephyr Spence won District III honors on theirs. Sharon Engelke also was chosen to represent District III as their candidate if or Miss SPJST. We are very proud of Sharon Engelke.

Her speech was very good . Lodge 139 came in third; their girl was Miss Tupy, and Lodge 25 won second, represented by Miss Carol Nesuda.

This is all the news I have for you now, but we will have a lodge meeting soon and I shall write you about it.

For The Housewife GOOD BUYS STILL FOUND IN BEEF Most cuts of beef remain low in price, particularly the good and choice grades Of beef now coming to market in large volume, Mrs. Gwendolyne Clyatt, Extension consumer marketing specialist, says.

Prices on round, sirloin, porterhouse and T-bone steaks have advanced slightly due to heavy demand. Good buys will be found on chuck roasts and steaks.

Chicken is plentiful and the price makes it easy on the food budget.

Fryers have attractive price tags, and the birds can be prep_ared in many delicious disnes.

Egg prices remain about the same as a week ago, with large eggs the best buy by weight.

In the vegetable line, fresh asparagus is still available. Other good choices are green beans, carrots, cabbage, mustard, collards, fresh onions, radishes and lettuce. Cauliflower, broc-

coli and eggplant are moderately priced choices.

Strawberry pricse and quality continue to fluctuate as weather conditions vary in production areas. Berries are being featured in some stores, howecer.

If you need to keep a close rein on your budget, try cheese. It's a high quality protein food at moderate to low price levels. Don't overlook plenty of milk for each member of the family,too.

May is salad month. So when you pick the best greens in the market, it's important that they are stored correctly. Any surface dirt should be removed before placing the greens in the refriegerator. If washing seems nec.esEary, be sure and drain all excess water off before storing in crisper food bags or wax paper. Lettuce keeps longer if the head is kept intact until meal preparation time. Then separate the leaves needed for a salad, wash in cold water, drain all excess water off so dressing can cling to leaves. Many greens lend themselves to a tossed salad.

• Finely chopped cucumbers added to a sour cream or mayonnaise dressing brings a different touch to the dinner salad, Today's cucumbers come long and straight and are favorite ingredients for salads during the warm months.

Americans spent only 19 per cent of their take-home dollar on food.

Compare this to 30 per cent by the British, 50 per cent by Russians, and up to 90 per cent in some under-developed countries_ Research on more efficient production and marketing, and better ways to control insects and diseases have helped keep food costs down.

• "Keep cool with dairy foods, summer's hottest values" is the theme of the 1964 June Dairy Month observance, industry leaders have announced, —SPJST—• Don't rely too heavily on that safety catch Safeties on shotguns are apt to give a sportsman a false sense of security.

Wednesday, May 13, 1964 QUALITY BEEF REMAINS A FOOD HEADLINER Now is the time to "beef up" your menus, says Mrs. Gwendolyne Clyatt, EXtension Service consumer marketing specialist.

Ample supplies of top quality beef will be available for the next few months, and should be one of the best values at the supermarket.

Large supplies of fryers also are on the market.

Consumers are enjoying what economists call a "buyer's market" with plenty of competition for food dollars tending to drive prices downward.

Owners of home freezers may want to give consideration to current low meat prices. Indications are that as the year advances, prices will go up to more normal levels.

At the vegetable counter, look for ,good values in carrots, cabbage, beets, green onions, dry yellow onions, mustard, collards, turnips and greens.

Head lettuce and celery are other choices. Asparagus, Broccoli and cauliflower are available at moderate price levels.

Apples, coming from storage, continue to be moderately priced, Good

DEHYDRATED PUMPKIN MIX There's a new instant dehydrated pumpkin mix on the marekt in flake form. Pumpkin for the product is specially grown at the new plant of Produce Processors Inc., at Windsor, North Carolina, and selected for color, flavor, and optimum rehydration properties. Efforts to produce pumpkin flakes have up to now been unsuccessful because of the high water content of fresh pumpkin, which ranges from 90 to 93 per cent. The flakes are made possible by controlled amounts of starches and sugars added to the cooked puree.

TWO REVISIONS IN PARK RULES Two key regulations for state parks have been revised according to J. Weldon Watson, executive director of the Parks and Wildlife Department_ The new regulations, which went into effect April 1, will permit camping and shelter occupancy for a 14-day limit during the regular park season between May 1 and Sept. 15.

Radios, recorded music and musical instruments will be subject to a 10 p.m. curfew in picnic, camping, shelter and other overnight facility areas of the parks; however, they may be permitted in the concession buildings and immediate concession areas until 11 p.m.

"Our new regulations, which con'form generally with those in national parks, have been well received by the public," said Watson.

LAKE MERIDIAN .:YIELDS 25-LB. CHANNEL CAT A giant 25-pound channel catfish was caught in Lake Meridian State Park in March, reports Bob. Rhudy, Parks and Wildlife Department game warden_ This was the weight as it came from the water. It had 26 rays on the anal fin and also had the telltale spots on the side. The giant channel cat was taken on a trotline with pure beef blood bait.

William H. Brown, former ;fisheries biologist with the Department; reporting on channel catfish in Bulletin 30, 1062, "The Fresh-Water Catfish of 'Texas and How to Know Them" said, "The maximum weight is abOut 30 pounds, but few fish over 20 pounds are caught."

A channel catfish - weighing 40 pounds has been reported taken from the Leon River below Lake Belton.

However the name of the fisherman, the date-of catch, and authentic weight is not available.
