OD RE AWAY! STOLKI KOLIK DOMOVC. ODPOCINKU? Ve schtizi radu 6. 38 na Kovar dne 10. kvetna t. r. se diskutovalo o naSem Domovu odpoeinku a z rozhovorti se eleny toho radu vysvitaji tyto body: 1) nejsoulne proti tome, aby se pristavilo nove kridlo k ny:nejSimu domovu odpoeinku, ale 2) mame okamZite uvaZovat o tom, aby se postavil jeSte leden domov odpoeinku v jine easti statu,

Moc se o tom nehovori, ale zda se to docela dobry napad, kter9 si zaslouZi vaZneho premyleni. Za prvni: aekoliv nyni potrebujeme vetSi budovu, totiZ jeSte jedno ktidlo k nynejSimu domovu, riditel bratr Rudolph Troubil s jeho manZelku maji ji2 dost zodpovednosti a praci a s zvetSenou budovu by jim byla pridana prate, Z"e by bylo treba jiZ nutno zamestnat dalSi pracovni sily.

Za druhe, se poukazalo na to, ze velikY poeet naS'ich facht a elenti jsou umisteny jinni easti statu, take by bylo zapotrebi umistit jeAte jeden domov odpoeinku v teto jinni cacti dejme tomu bud' v. Caldwell, El Campo, Columbus, Yoakum, La Grange, anebo v nekolika jin9ch mestech Mize kut brehu texaskeho zamori. Jezdit na nayStevy do nynejSiho domovu z Houstonu, Corpus Christi anebo Beaumont jest daleka cesta i pro budouci pacienty neb obyvatele domova cdpoeinku.

Nyni po celein statu Texas se buduji pilne podobne dornovy odpoolnku aneb tzv. rest homes a se zakony, ktere nejlepAi a nejvetSi &oven v stote a v obsluze, se t yto domovy finanene vyplaci a prinak hezkou od-

menu jak finanene, tak i clobr9m jmenem jejim zakladateltim. Proto, je v budoucnu closti mo2no, ze i naSe Jednota nebude mit nejen jednou neb dye takove fistavy, ale tri i etyri urnistene v ruznYch easti statu. Treti by se mohl. postavit v severni easti, po:bliZe Dallasu aneb Fort Worth. Dokud se budem ridit dle zakonti Ram pred.epsanych ad vladnich organtI a budeme naSe domovy tak Halt poctive a dle bratrskYch zasad jako j e naS domov v Taylor, bude si nak jecinota zaraeovat dcbrou bratrskou povest pc celYm jihu Spoj. statu. Mame jiz priklad a viclime, ze finanene se tyto domovy vyplaci a si clobre stoji a elm vice mame takay ych podniku tunistenYch po Texasu, Um vice se roznese nak povest, o naSem fleelu a dobrobinne prate.

Ve schazi pateho okrsku v Houstonu u radu tefanik 6. 142 bratr J. M. 8krabanek, jeden z teditelti domova odpoeinku odpoveclel na otazku, Z'e vybor, Chi reditele domova se mini obratit na delegaty priStiho sjezdu, aby byl uclelen ureity obnos penez na pristaveni jednoho kridla k nynej gmll domovu a na druhu otazku take odpovedel, bylo uvaZovano a mluveno a torn, aby se drub* domov postavil nekde jin ✓ Texasu snad smerem na jih. Tedy, bude zale2et na zastuptich ye sjezdu jak na to budou hledet, a co si ji v tomto pripade udelat. Zde take je zapotreby, aby kaalY delegat se informoval jak jeho spolubratti a spolusestry na tuto vec hledi, aby mohli hlasovat v tato otazce dle prani veUiny elenii. Jiste na to dojde v jednani ye sj ezde.

Bylo take poukazano na to, 2e se zakoupenim noveho pozeraku pro . druhy domov oclpoeinku by nebyly spojen9 Zadne vylohy, proto2e ty mesta ve kterych by mel b9t domov urnisten by s radosti darovaly pozemek, nebude-li pozemek darovan jednotlivcem. Takov9 fistav vZdycky znamena hospodarskY prirfistek mestu jak v navSteve tak i v poetu zamestnancri. KaZde takove bramerne male mesto s radosti prijme to prilelitost obstarat pczemek bez peneZiitYch vYloh a po pripade poskytnout nekolik le bezplatne potrebne veal jako vodu, plyn, elektriku, atd., jak se to dela a nabizi prfimyslovYm zavociffin v ureitych mestech. Je jen treba se preptat a obchod:nicla komor (chambers of commerce), ktere obstaravaji takoye veci.

Ve schazi oateho okrsku se take mluvilo a eleni podavali svoje nazory ohledn'e taboru mladeZ'e a nevim, zdah to byla jen shoda okolnosti ale z tech nazorti vyjadrenYch bylo videt, 'Ze vetSina souhlasili s nahledy, o kterYch jsem psal v uvahach ye Vestniku dne 29. dubna t. r. Rozhodne bylo videt, ‘ge malokdo je pro to, aby se zakoupil drahy pozemek a postavily budovy na letovisko, ale spige pronajat jeden anebo dva takove tabory, ktere vlastni stat Texas a nejdriv zkoukt jak se celY podnik vyclari, zdali deti je budou nav'Stevovat a budou-li chtit jezdit do toho stejneho a sameho taboru rok po roku.

Neda me to v gak a ornoeim si do toho prsty.

TYka se to letniho tabofi gte pro rrilddea. Pamatuji si dobre jak pied Templovskym sjezdem a i na nem bylo agitovano proti arisen' Domova, pro starsj Bylo poulcazovano na to, ae to bade velke vyclani pro Hlavni Madovnu, ae to bude nas stat heakYch par tisic mend. Neb nekteri tomu rozumeli, ae tam mohou jit zdarma a ae to bude platit Hlavni faradovna. Dnes po vice jak gesti letech Dornov Odpoeinku stoji na pevnYch nohach, plati pravidelnd firoky a i pomalu splaci dluh. To neznamena, ae i tabori gte pro mladea bude take tak pokraeovat.

Prozatim, myslim, ae jedno taborigte by ripind vyhovelo. Co se tyre finaneni otazky predstavuji si to asi talc. Detem di mladeai by byl poeitan jisty obnos denne. Byl by tam stanek, kde by se prodavalo obeerstveni soda. cukrovinky a podobne. Pro stars1 by tam mohli W%ti postaveny domky (cabins). Kdya jederne v lete na yYlet platime za ubytovani v cabinach rekneme od $5.00 Jenne. Prod ne tam? Tabor by mohl bYti otevren od 6 — 8 mesicti roene, po pripade cabiny cely rok. Takae by byl nejakY prijein cely rok. A kdyby na to Hlavni ritadovna par stovek roene doplacela, take by nas to neznieilo.

Osobrie rad se na v ge divam z rfranyYmi brYlemi a ne ten eernYmi. Za skng enou to stoji a kdya by to nepracovalo, nemyslim, ae by to nebyla izulna a *oar tisic by nas nesniello.

FROM THE 1E I MR'S DESK ANOTHER REST HOME?

THE EXTRA EFFORT . .

At the meeting of Lodge Osveta No. 38 in Kovar on May 10th of this month, some discussion centered around the topic of our present rest home fa cilities. From the talk and discussions; two conclusions could be made: 1) the membership was not opposed to adding another wing to the present rest home in Taylor. and 2) that we should consider immediately the possibility of constructing another SPJST Rest Home in the sOtithern or south-central portion of the state.

The richer awards of life are earned by the extra effort we put into our endeavors.

Not too much has been said about the topic but it certainly has merit and bears serious consideration by the delegate-3 to the upcoming convention.

First of all, even though the waiting list is constantly filled and we could certainly use " another wing on the present home, it should be kept in mind that the manager, Bro. Troubil and his staff can do just so much. With increased plant facilities, Bro. Troubil would need additional help and_ help would have to be hired, which understandable. Secondly, it has been pointed out that the bulk of our SPJST membership is now centered in the southern and south-central areas, and that an additional rest home should be built in that area, say, for instance, in Caldwell, El Campo, Columbus, Yoakum, La Grange, or in a number of other very suitable cities of average size. This school of thought reasons that •visitors from these areas have too far to travel to visit their loved ones and friends, and that prospective patients are reluctant at being tran!mortod such long distances, espeCiall y from the coastal areas like Corpus Christi, Beaumont, etc. * The State of Texas is presently enjoying a building "boom" in the construe,:lon of rest home facilities, and With the present-day old-age assistances, all Of them are making a heal-

Usually, it's the extra effort . . . or the lack of it . . .that determines whether we get by . . . or get ahead.

The leaders in the fields of business and government . .. of science and art . . . did not get where they are merely by doing just what was required of them. . . and no more.

Those persons who have achieved fame and fortune .. . and the millions climbing up behind them . .. got where they are by the application of extra efforts.

The "extra effort" process is a basic Rule of Life which applies alike to individuals and business enterprises.

Progress in life can be measured .. . and forecast . . with reasonable accuracy by the "extra effort" rule. thy profit. With the state setting health and cleanliness norms, and standards in services rendered, these rest homes are becoming very nice, decent places in which to live. It has not always been so. Those rest homes financed by individuals or private corporations are returning a. nice profit. Therefore, it might be very wide for the SPJST to build not only two but perhaps three or four such handsome ,facilities in various locations in the estate. If a second one is built down south, the third could be built somewhere nearer the Dallas-Fort Worth area. As long as we comply with all the state laws governing such institutions and we curate them on humane principles as the present home in Taylor is, we Will be insuring the future growth and reputation of the finest :fraternal order in the Southwest. Such projects cannot help but evoke respect and an excellent reputation for us throughout the state, wherever they may be located. The rest home in Taylor has

served as a model example, both as to the ,financial soundness of them and the good name that it has brought us.

It has also been pointed out that there would be virtually no expenditure connected with the purchase of property for another rest home, since most cities eagerly welcome such institutions, and often donate property for the purpose. ',Sometimes, individuals do so. Such institutions constitute an economic asset to the community.

Some cities may even be willing to offer free utilities for a given period of time if the home is located in their city. The various chambers of commerce are eager to help in any way they can in this respect.

In the recent district meeting of District Five in Houston, Bro. J. M. Skrabanek, one of the directors of the Taylor Rest Home, stated that the directors intend asking for an allocation of funds 'to build an additional wing to the Taylor Heine. He also stated that the directors had given some consideration to the possibility of building another rest home in another part of the state, possibly further south, sometime in the future.

Again, it will be the responsibility of the delegates to the convention to make a major decision on this matter, and it behooves every delegate to find out what the ideas and views are of his fellow members in his ledge; so that they might vote accordingly when the matter comes up for a decision, and it surely will.

Another matter aired to a great extent at the District Five meeting on May 17th was the question of the proposed SPJST Youth Camp. It may have just been a coincidence, but most of the views expressed seemed to coincide with the views expressed in our editorial in the Vestnik dated 29 April of this year. Most everyone seemed to agree, however, that we should not al-

Wednesday, May 27, 1964 locate a large sum for the purchase of a lot of property for the construction of a permanent youth camp — at least not at this time. There appeared to be substantial agreement on the point of leasing, or renting, about two such camps, already in existence, and see what the response will be, especially by the youth of the several districts.

As stated before, we need to see whether the youth will be interested enough in going in the first place, and whether they would enjoy going to the same place, year after year. Leasing a different location every year would afford a change in scenery. Someone from District Two, (I believe it was Bro. Joe B. Hejny), pointed out that the youth of District Two had tired of going to Camp Tahuaya. They want something different. I'm no prophet, but I don't believe the delegates will agree to the outlay of a sizeable sum of money for a permanent youth camp.

• Something, however, should be done for the youth. A good beginning would be for the coming convention to allocate a GIVEN AMOUNT of money for leasing a youth camp in the northcentral and one in the south-central part of the state, and then give FULL POWER AND AUTHORITY to a special committee, composed of one, perhaps two, representatives from each district. This committee would commence its work immediately after the convention and would explore the possibilities of which camp, or camps, would be the most desirable to lease.

After the sites are chosen, they would tran smit their findings to the DISTRICT OFFICERS in each district, who would determine, with their respective youth directors, just how they would want to take advantage of the facilities. This committee would also distribute the funds allocated by the convention, to the various districts.

• • Now, if you give this committee the responsibility but not the authority to act, then another four years will go by until he next convention. The whole thing will wither and die on the vine in the interim four years. Interest will wane. The thing will come up again at the XX Convention. It will be discussed again and maybe even postponed for another four years. It will bog down, and after eight years, you will still have -- nothing.

If we really want to do something about this and we want to try something for the benefit of our youth, this will be the time to progress from

VEST/sTfIC

the lip-service stage to the doing stage.

Let's face the matter head-on, make a firm decision. The expenditure, some say , will be negligible. since you could charge the youth so much to use the Camp, for their transportation, food, lodging, etc. If this be true, just what can the SPJST say it is doing in regard to a youth camp? It would really amount to nothing more than an OPPORTUNITY to stay at a youth camp, and that opportunity is available at any one of the hundred parks and camps around the state. No, the SPJST must REALLY do something for the youth, The Order can afford to pay for the leasing of the camps, pay bus transportation for a busload of youngsters to the camp, award special prizes, etc. Then we will be demonstrating that we really do want to do something for them.

• • We would thereby see whether the idea of such a camp appeals to the young folks. We would also be strengthening the district level setup by channeling the funds through the districts, and this is sorely needed, if the district level organization is to survive. Only those lodges having active youth clubs and which meet whatever other requirements are set by the Vice President, would be entitled to receive funds from the committee. We would hope that this would encourage dormant lodges to inject new life into their local youth clubs.

• • I would have faith in the committee appointed for this purpose. I believe it would be made up of fraternalists who would strive to do the right thing for the SPJST. And surely, we are not enmeshed in such bureaucratic procedure that this project will never be allowed to get off the ground. The delegates have the power to act. Let the convention allocate say, five thousand dollars for the next four years, and in four years, let's examine the results. It's up to us. it • • We are very sorry about the big mixup on the dance ad last week for Lodge 92, Fort Worth. The ad should have been for a dance at Lodge No. 154, at the Sokol Hall in Fort Worth. The information came to us on Monday morning by telephone, and in the rush and detailed preparation of the Vestnik for the press run on Tuesday morning, our thoughts and information got crossed. Deadline for ALL material to run in the next Vestnik is SATURDAY NOON. We have written

13

officers of Lodge 92, and asked their help in rectifying the error at their dance last Saturday night. Our apologies to both lodges. ♦ o In last week's issue, on pages 9 and 10, Czech section, we listed the names of the delegates to the coming convention. Since the list has been published, we have been notified of one change. Bro. Frank Holub is the delegate from Lodge 67, Schulenburg, instead of Bro. Emil Pesek, who will be unable tee attend. From Lodge 93. the first name should have been "Richard" instead of Diehard.

Mrs. Halouzka had not seen her mother since she and her husband left Czechoslovakia 15 years ago. They were reunited at Love Field in Dallas. She was overjoyed at seeing her three grandchildren, whom she had, of course, never seen. Mike Halouzka met her in New York, where he had gone on business. . It took four months of negotiations to get Mrs. Jelinek's papers for the U.S. trip She speaks no English. She will be allowed to visit with her daughter and son-inlaw for at least six months.

The Halouzkas are all members of SPJST Lodge No. 130 in Dallas.

DISTRICT V MEETING IN HOUSTON District V's spring meeting was held at Lodge Stefanik No. 142 on Nolda Street, Houston, Sunday, May 17. The attendance at the morning business session was rather small, but was considerably larger by noon and in the afternoon. Brother Ernest Hanka, District V President, presided, and he is to be commended for disposing of all official business before going into the youth program. As it was, the afternoon business session was fairly well attended, and a good many members were able to air their views on various topics. From, what we could gather, most of those in attendance favored the idea of disposing of the business first, and holding the youth program last.

The Miss SPJST elimination was held, with only two candidates participating. Miss Betty Jo Machann placed first and will represent the district in the contest in Waco on the evening of June 17th.

Fifty-year membership pins were awarded to six members, out of 22 eligible to receive them. The following is a listing, by lodges, of those members eligible to receive the 50-year pins.

Those marked with an asterisk (*) were present. — Editor.

SPECIAL HONORS recently came to Mrs. Edna Urbanic of Galveston when she was selected as "Aggie Mother of the Year," in ceremonies on the Texas A. & University campus. She is shown with A. & M.

She has two other sons, Capt. Frank A. Urbanic, stationed at Valdosta, Georgia, and Simon, OM-3, stationed with the U. S. Navy at Norfolk, Virginia.

All three of the boys are members of the SPJST. We are very proud of Sister Urbanic, and we of the Order, along with the cadets at A.& M., salute her! — Ed.) (Picture and information courtesy Texas A. & M. News.)

mor to give it that extra spice.

After the commercial came "Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour.' In the first act two small children sang "Red and White Waltz," followed by "I Lost My Five Pennies," and "I Dropped My Dolly." Then came a station break.

McClean's Toothpaste gave a little roar of laughter with its commercial.

LETTERS DISTRICT V MEETING AT LODGE 142, HOUSTON Rear Readers, On May 17 District Five held its district meeting at Stefanik Lodge 142.

Following the meeting the Youth Club of 142 presented a program.

The program was that of a radio station broadcasting a regular day of programming. The .first number was "Romper Room, School" in which a group of children came out with a letter, all of which spelled "Stefanik" They all had something to say about the SPJST and after they were finished, they welcomed District Five.

After the Romper Room School there was a commercial from National Airlines. This commercial was not an ordinary one, for it had a bit of

hu-

"Ted Mack" then continued with a famous poet reading a new poem. Before he read, however, we were all asked to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." This was followed by a Tarreyton Cigarette Commercial.

Then came the final program which took place in a coffee house in New York. A, beatnik group performed a beatnik version of "A Frog Went a Courtin." This was well received and enjoyed by everyone. The program ended with a test pattern and sign off.

The cast was introduced and the people were thanked in Czech for coming.

LODGE NO. COTTONWOOD Dear Vestnik Readers, This report may be a little late, but I thought it might still be interesting to some readers to read about the opening of our remodeled hall and Mother's Day Celebration that was held Sunday, May 10th.

Our activities began at 2 p.m., featuring a display of materials consisting of secretarial books, letters and cards, dating back to 1897, and pictures showing how the hall had been enlarged and remodeled from time to time until the present date.

Brother John Krizan, president of

Wednesday, May 27, 1964 the lodge introduced our main speaker, Brother Edward L. Marek, Supreme Lodge President. He spoke on the history of the Cottonwood lodge, known as Moraysti Bratri Lodge No. 6 to most older members. He also spoke of the increase in its membership in the past years since it was organized in 1897, and the meaning of Mother's Day. Following the speaking, a program was held, a barbecue and fried chicken supper with all the Czech - style trimmings were served, with a dance at night. It was a full afternoon and evening of entertainment for all young and old, far and near.

It really was a pleasure to have such a nice large attendance.

The lucky mothers who received the ,gifts were Sister Anna Holacka. (She was the oldest mother present); the mother who traveled the farthest was Mrs. Mary Krizan of Garland; the mothers with the most children was a tie between Mrs. John Mynar and Mrs. George Hubik, both with seven children each; the youngest mother was Mrs. James Bohannan, 25.

I would like to thank Martha Monthei, the junior youth leader and her assistant, Lydia Dobecka. and Margie Straten, for helping me out with the program. Also, many thanks to all the parents who brought the children to the practices, and to everyone else who helped to make the program a success.

This is the date you want to keep in mind because there will be a barbecue held at the lodge as well. Why not come for the whole day?

So now, since you have the opportunity to see this comedy, let me give you some idea what it is all about.

You will certainly enjoy this operetta in its unique rendition of love songs

by Brother Jerry Pokorny. His deft, fingers beat out a technique and rhythm much to the delight of his listening audience.

The leading cast, including Birdie Hilsher, John Sula, Willie Simecek and Jan Schroiff, provides a few scenes in which their tender feelings gain in expression, however, only after a few obstacles are brushed aside. They are ably assisted in this puformance by Rudy Sefcik as Houpacka and Tim Kostom as pepa.

Karel 'Matejka and Mary Johnson, together with iErnan Kouba, Emil Vala, and Felix Skarpa, make up the supporting cast.

The story picks up in momentous speed when Damina and Celestyn (Karel Matejka and Jan Schroiff) arrive in town only to be confronted by the enraged widow, Frony (Mary Johnson), who is vainly making her bid for Damina. While the merry chase continues, the widow blasts away like an incendiary bomb to make her claim, but in the meantime, the only progress made involves her daughter, Marketka (W. Simeeek), and ,Dannan's son,

Celestyn. At the same time, the love birds at the laundry business establishment, operated by Houpacka, are becoming much attached to each other also. Both sets of sweethearts will thrill you with their romantic performances.

After much confusion, the widow finally gives up the chase and stages her efforts to land Franta. Nepil (Eman Koubat. As comedians, these characters could not be improved.

Two Convention Years Brothers and Sisters: Some interest- has been shown in a comparison of the volume of applications for life, insurance written thus far in 1964 with the comparable five months and twenty days in 1960 which was the last Convention Year. After reviewing the matter, I came to the conclusion that a more interesting comparison would be the ENTIRE YEAR of 1960 with only five months and twenty clays of this year.

Thus far this year I have knowledge of $621,000 worth of applications written. To put this attainment on a direct comparison with 1960 it is necessary to reduce it by $82,000. We have written 9 applications for amounts in excess of the $10,000 limit that we

The reduced figure is $539,000, and that is directly comparable to the 1960 production, except that it has been obtained in 225 days less than the 1960 production.

And the amount of the 1960 production?

It was $478,000.

In 38.5 per cent as much time the organizers of District Five have produced 112.7 per cent of directly comparable volume.

Another comparison now proving to be of interest for the first time is the very remarkable job accomplished by District Five organizers in 1963. MORE

Fraternally yours, Ernest J. Hanka President, District Five —SPJ5T---HOUSTON LODGE NO. 88 Dear Vestnik Readers.

The spring session of the District Five meeting was held Sunday, May 17. The meeting was held at Stefanik Lodge No. 142 and we must say that the members of that lodge rolled out the red carpet, and extended warm and kind hospitality to all who atended the meeting. The Youth Club of Lodge 142 presented a very interesting program that we think was great for a young group of people to produce and direct on their own. The parents of all these youngsters are very proud of them, I'm sure. Thanks for a good entertainment program.

I will not go into the business details of the meeting because I'm sure there will be other writeups in this issue of the Vestnik.

The Dramatic Club held a meeting on Wednesday, May 13, and we are happy to report that by numerous requests the Dramatic Club is going to repeat the play, "Zmokla Slepice" on Sunday afternoon, June 7. Curtain time 2:30 p.m. Now that's not all for that day. The Entertainment Committee is going to serve a barbecued beef dinner and supper on the same day, June 7th.

'Serving will start around 12 noon until ? After the play there will be a free dance, with music by Mr. Ed Zalesak and his group. Get all your friends together and bring them out for an enjoyable day. Don't forget all this on Sunday, June 7. Saturday, May 16, Wm. Mistier and the Rhythm Kings furnished music for our regular Saturday

VPSTNfK night dance. They played modern and also old-time music that eveyone enjoyed. I must say that this orchestra group will be pretty popular in the future. If any of you members have teenagers, be sure and remind them to come out when this orchestra plays.

Their next dance engagement will be Saturday, November 21st. William is the son of Brother and Sister Alfred and Birdie Mistier.

Saturday, May 30. the Ray Jurecka Orchestra of Weimar will play for the dance. Come out and bring your friends.

The Glee Club will miss four of their good singers for about two and a half months. They are Brothers and Sisters Frank and Frances Olexa, and Frank and Frances Dvorak. They will leave by Air France for Europe on June 26, and return sometime in September. They will tour Germany, Czechoslovakia, France, England, and Switzerland. Bon Voyage! We will miss you.

We went to the new lodge site, and the building is coming along fast. We only hope the weather stays nice so that the builders can keep on and finish the building soon.

We have some big plans for the Grand Opening, so keep reading the Vestnik and we will keep you informed.

Betty Jurica, Secty., Dist VII -SPJST-LODGE NO. 35. ELK Dear Members and Friends: There will be a special meeting of the membership on Sunday, June '7th, at 2:30 p.m., pertaining to convention business, followed by a social.

Please attend this very important meeting; urgent matters must be attended to.

The re gular - monthly meeting will be held on June 14, 1964. ',See you on Juice '7tii.

Fraternally, Antone Pavelka, President -SPJ STInez. Texas Mr. Nick A. Morris Editor, Vestnik West, Texas r Brother Morris: I noticed in the Vestnik of May 13, 1964, in your editorial you discussed several good points, and I enjoyed :reading them. I think you are being fair and Impartial.

There are several things that I want to comment on, if I may. As for the district meetings being too long. I agree that they are long. However, when you have a business session, presentation of 50-year pins, youth program, recognition of visitors, (and they should be recognized), a speaker, election of District Officers, selection of the next meeting place, etc., all of this is important and should be on the agenda. Will someone tell me how to make a short meeting of the above when it is on the agenda? I do know that e the end of a long meeting the assembly gets tired and many are obsent. I notice this at our district neetings and other district meetings hat I attend. Let's face the facts; aren't we just a little impatient and

VPSTIVIK hard to please?

I have served as district president of my respective district for two years.

It was my policy to attend a meeting of the local lodge that was hosting the next district meeting, and we always worked out our program together to the satisfaction of the local lodge and myself, and that is the way we presented our program at our district metings. What is wrong with that? If the members of the respective lodge that will host the next district meeting want a shorter program, then they will have to leave some of the items out of the program. The onestion.is, what? That -dechion should be left up to the lodge that is hosting the meeting, the youth leader, and the president of the district; they should be the ones to make the decision.

As for the District Organizers, it seems that many of our members, and als_o local organizers are opposed to having District Organizers. If that is the way they feel, they certainly have a right to their opinion; however, I don't have to agree with them. If the delegates at our coming convention in June decide to dispense with the District Organizers, then what are we going to do to improve the situation?

The ,q,itEtion is what will be better and what will be cheaper than the present system, and at the same time bring in more new members and also increase our volume of business? In the insurance field we have fraternal organizations, or societies, as well as stock companies, and they all have district representatives as well as local managers. Let, its remember that nobody can direct seven districts from the office by telephone, and make it work successfully. Let us hope that the delegates to our coming convention make a good move that will pay off in ,good membership and increase our business by a big margin. Any way you look at it, in about a year from now we will have the answer.

There has been a lot said about our reserve. The reserve that we have is very necessary in order to make us strong and sound financially, and we should all be proud that we have such a good and large reserve. The reserve could be larger and it still would not hurt. That is what we might call good management, and I am proud that we have good and able men to run our business. When there is a good reserve, there is nothing to worry about. If we would not have a good and large reserve then it would be time to worry, and only then.

Wednesday. May 27, 1964 As I uderstand it, there is a 1958 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Table of Mortality which we can adopt, and 1. think that we should adopt it at our coming convention in June. The new table has lower mortality rates than the table now in use. Therefore, I think that it is our duty to adopt the new plan. Tins can all be summed up by saying in order to prosper we shoufd adopt the new 1958 plan. (See "Supreme Lodge," this issue. — Ed).

If all us delegates will study and deliberate on the recommendations for changes in by-laws from the different lodges before w go to the convention, and be prepared to make a fair decision, then we should have a good and successful convention. Let's hope so. With best wishes.

Leo Krause Jr. Fraternally yours, -SPJSTWaco, Texas Mr. Nick Morris Editor, Vestnik West, Texas Dear Editor: I heartily agree and approve of your article on changes to be made in district meetings and lodge meetings (Editor's Desk, May 13, 1964). Attendance is falling off and some lodges never attend and others are reluctant to attend. There is criticism that these district meetings are turning into picnics rather than business meetings!

Many causes are put forth and it is hard to please all representative groups at a district meeting, but an attempt should be made if we wish to continue to have them and expect larger attendance. I have in mind certain items that could be curtailed, or only a little time given to them, the details I will explain later. I hope to present this plan or its facsimile at the District Three Youth Activity Day in Fort Werth if most of the District Officers attend and we have a caucus.

I intend to, write and ask the president if we can go over this plan and see if it will work out in practice.

Now to explain the plan that I have in mind. First, the groundwork has to be organized and put into effect in order to produce attendance, but let us review what a meeting is for. The purpose of a meeting is to conduct business necessary for the expansion and welfare of an organization. This and only this is the main ojpective, all the rest is nothing but what side dishes are to the main fare of a meal. What can we do to make a meeting successful and at the same time a pleasure rather

Wednesday, May 27, 1964 than a burdensOme affair? Give Mc111hers the feeling that they belong; that they are needed. Show them 1,y the procledure of the meeting that it is worthwhile and that you have something to offer. But let us go back to the groundwork.

The most common complaint of local lodges is that district officers are unknown, even though their names are published in the Vestnik and through correspondence. One sees them only twice a year and then new ones step in. The solution to remedy this „is very easy: have them serve at ledst two years in office. It should be incumbent on the part of the president to make a list of the officers to visit the local lodges at their meeting time to find out their trials and tribulations, and the president and second vice president visit those lodges that do not attend -district meetings at all. This should be done during the six-month. interim period between meetings. There is nothing better than personal contact.

Next, that the District Pr esident and Executive Board, about a month or less before the meeting, call a meeting in a central location of a district of the local lodge presiden ts, who shall be members of this District Executive Committee, to discuss the items that should be presented and acted upon at the upcoming district meeting. Here you have participation and work done by a committee of Inc local residents and it makes them feel that they are contributing to the exparmion of the SPJST in their district. It will also help in eliminating non-essential business and would cut down the time of meeting.

Now to the meeting part of this plan.

I will suggest a few changes or modifications to the present system of conducting the district and lodge meetings: 1. Instead of 10, 10:15, of 10:30, have the meeting begin at 10:50 and , end at 1 p.m. l',Tow two hours is long enough for any meeting. '_lave a 10minute recess at 12 noon, serve coffee, call the meeting back to order at 12:10 SHARP. 2. To keep noise and interference down have registration as far away from the meeting as possible, preferably in an anteroom or outside if weather permits.

3. Welcome by host president or representative.

4. Either elect or appoint two Sergeants-at-Arms; duties are explained in

v sTN1K by-laws and cmistitution.

5. Rituals t dad a half minutes. ,Roll call of No ,;peecb., Intraductie a of only their regula. t;= bushaess.

7. Cans and only one joke by the chairman.

8. Minutes of previous meeting. Try .cut out all non essentials.

9. Secretary-Treasure.r's report. All small bilis to be paid on authorization of EXecutive Board.

10. Committee reports; includng Youth Director, Distriet Director ., District Organizer.

11. Amacuric: ments, if any.

12. Old busini 13, New Bueinenieces; at any time that Ser geants-at-Aims notifies the chair that it is 12 noon. Business recommended by committees. awards, etc.

14. Election of officers. Speech by president or re-presentative of. the Supreme Lodge after the opening of the noon session. Installation of newlyelected officers PRIOR to any other activities. Afternoon session to start at discretion of preicient and how 'long it will take for the noon meal, probably until 2:30.

15. . Youth activities.

10. Entertainment.

17. Speeches; set a time limit, 18:. Welfare.

19. Adjourn around 4:15 p.m.

Then we can all visit and chat as we like before we depart for home. No. doubt there will be questions about this plan but these can be answered in detail at the Executive Board aid cut Committee meetings. plan has worked in ether organizations and I know it can work for us too.

All District e‘n Board.

0 meet as early o 'le and not only try but come up iii a solution, and we can with the high caliber of members we are fortunate in havin g in our SPJST organization. I certainly see no insurmountable difficulties there.

This will of course involve a little extra.. legwork and an extra meeting or two of the district officers .but the results will be well worth the effort.

THE 1958 COMMISSIONERS' STANDARD TABLE. OF MORTALITY The Necessity As you well know, the mandatory date for changing policy reserves and values to the new 1958 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Table of Mortality is not too far away.

The Opportunity The change over to the 1958 CSO Mortality Table affords every company an opportunity to revamp its entire policy portfolio and its sales ma terial — or to make minor chan,ges if only minor changes are advisable.

Many companies have already taken advantage of the opportunity. Still other companies are in the process of changing over to the 1958 CSO Table.

This is an opportune time to consider the whole area of the new mortality table and related items—reserves, cash values, paid-up values, premium rates, settlement options, and finally, rate books and rate material for your agents. The following set of questions and answers explores the whole area in the way that is most practical for a general article: Background On The New Table 1. Q. Why do we have a new mortality table? What was wrong with the old one?

A. The first Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Table of Mortality, commonly known as the 1941 CSO, measured the mortality in the period from 1930 to 1939. In the intervening years, mortality rates have declined so much, especially at the older ages, due largely to the conquest of pneumonia and other diseases by use of antibiotics, that the 1941 CSO Table is now practically as out-of-date as the old 1868 American Experience Table was in 1941. Continuing to use the 1941 050 Table would have resulted in too small Paid-Up and Extended Term Values, in unnecessary deficiency reserves, in poor public relations and, sometimes, even in premium rates higher than necessary.

2. Q. How was the new Table put together?

A. The mortality experience of the

Second row: Norma Pavelka, Rose Mary Spence, Otto Harms, John Krizan, John Mach, Arnold Vrla. Third row, left to right: Antone Pavelka, Chris Spence, James Payheck, Edwin "llub, F-'w. Mazaner, Emil Hanus, an,d Jos. Hola.sek.

Dusek. largest companies, mutual and stock, between the years 1950 and 1954 was pooled. The first five policy years were excluded. The resultant rates were adjusted mathematically to provide for smoothness and margins for mortality fluctuations. The final product is called the 1958 CSO Table, or the second CSO' Table.

3. Q. When should I switch to the new Table?

A. You are in a good position to

switch now. You already have available the rates of numerous 1958 CSO companies for consideration along with your own ideas. If you wait until after spring, 1964, you may find yourself doing a rush job or .bein,g one of the last to change to the 1958 CSO Table.

About the only possible general reason for waiting is to see which way the "cat jumps" on the age last birthday innovation. The laws provide a mandatory 1958 CSO date of on or before January 1, 1966.

26 4. Q. Can T. do this on it gradual basis? Can I switch one or tsvo plans at a time?

A. No. Under the mandatory date you may offer all of your current contracts on either the new basis or the Old basis, but you may not offer some on each.

5. Q. Must I revalue my present in force on the new basis?

A. No. Furthermore, in most cases you couldn't if you wanted to unless, at time of changeover, you made other changes which would increase your present reserve basis.

6. Q. What interest rate can I use with the new Table?

A. Any rate you want between zero and 3142 per cent.

7. ,Q. Can I use age last birthday?

A. Yes. 8. Q. How about extended term and reduced paid-up? How are they affected by the new Table?

A. Mortality rates are lower for the new Table. This means that if the interest rates are the same a given cash value will purchase a higher amount of reduced palm tip insurance under the new Table than under the Old. For extended term, however, special table called the 1958 CET (Commissioners' Extended Term) has been developed.

The old table could have been used for extended term without modification because there was enough margin in the mortality rates to pay for administrative expenses. The new Table's rates are so close to actual extended term experience that there Would be no margin for expenses.

Hence, the special table.

10,Q. Are waiver of premium and accidental death benefits affected by the new Table?

A. Yes. The reserves tor these benefits are deterMined, in part, by the 1958 CSO Table. Also, the laws which require adoption of the new Table by January 1, 1963, specify new reserve bases for waiver of premium and accidental death benefit by the same date.

Effect Of The New Table 1. Q. How does the new Table affect my decision on premiums?

A. The new Table has lower mortality rates than the old table. This almost eliminates the need to worry about deficiency reserves. You thus have more freedom of choice for nonparticipating premium rates. In ad• dition, the lower mortality rates and the incidence of those rates from age to age produce lower reserves and

Eaharick. lower cash values in the early and middle policy years. (The reserves and values eventually catch up with the reserves on the old table, of course).

Since cash values are smaller and early reserve hurrea.ee.':: arc smaller, you could just decrease premium rates to correspond primarily to smaller cash value payments.

Changing Over To The New Table 1. Q. About how Much time should I expect to allocate, for the changeover to the nor,' able?

A. Nine months is almost a minimum. On the other hand, if you wait until the last minute it could take a good deal longer.

2. Q, Why is that?

A. The contract bureaus of the various insurance departments will be overburdened with last minute filers: so will computing services and rate book printers with the specialized knowledge necessary to attract this type of business.

3. Q. Wouldn't it be quicker and less expensive just to copy somebody else's rate book?

A. Of course it would. It could also be disastrous. What serves the pur -posefncmpayouldverw frustrate the objective of another. To cite just a few possible difficulties: (1) The -policy you choose to copy may have been put out as a "loss leader" and restricted to perhaps a few special agents or otherwise limited in volume you may find a substantial percentage of your business being written on this plan unless you are aware of the facts.

(2) The profitability of the plan may be geared to underwriting more selective and restrictive than you are either willing or able to practice.

(3) The rate structure may be geared to an allocation of overhead expenses inapplicable to your company.

(4) A 04(fenent investment yield from yOurs may have been anticipated.

(5) The company from whom you are copying may be able by virtue of data processing equipment to administer the plan more efficiently and inexpensively than you can (at least at the present time.)

(6) The other company's surplus objectives, agency considerations, tax problems, etc., may be quite different from yours.

This could be summed up by saying that in order to prosper your company must have a rate book tailored to its own objectives and its own needs.

The new Table provides you with . a perfect opportunity to .achieve this.

The Camp Fire Girls went to Fort Belknap and had lots of fun. We left on Saturday and spent the night and then on Sunday we went to church. I will be glad when school is out next Friday. I will go to day camp this summer. I will be doing lots of sewing, too.

Yours truly, Mary Jane March --SPJSTLODGE NO. '73, SEYMOUR

Dear Readers, At our last "Youth meeting we made trinket boxes. We will have a meeting June 7th and I hope all members can come.

School will be out next Friday and I will be busy. I will be mowing lawns during the summer. From June 8th to June 20th, I will be taking Driver Edu-

cation. I may also take summer band.

The week after school is out I will be going to Bible school. Sunday June 25th. I will be confirmed.

We will also be going fishing a lot this summer. Yesterday eve y■ lag we went fishing to Lake Ken .q) and had pretty good luck.

I have to study for my exams, so will close until next time.

Your friends, Edward Marek -SPJST---

SIDEBURNS — Originally, the word was "burnsides," for the distinctive side whiskers worn by Civil War general Ambrose E. Burnside, who shaved his chin, but let his hair grow on the sides of his face. The result was an impressive sight. (Through the years, the two parts of the word were interchanged).
