V dobe, kdy Spojene staty sestrojily kobaltovou puma a kdy president Harry Truman slavnostne. prohlasil, ze lidstvo vstoupilo do, atomickeho veku, v to dobe sta.], s tu&ou v ruce u kolebky techto v3izkumit eeslq . profesor Vaclay Hlavaty.

"Nic nebudete udavati," kekl lesmistr ureite, "nikomu se ani nezminite a a2 se budou lids ptat, co se Zene stalo, at' povi, ze v lese Ana gpieatY suk na strome upadla a zranila se.

Lesmistr byl hotov, uloZil leky a obvazy a potom vyzval hajnou, aby se posadila do koearu. PokrY yku na nohy hodil ji pees rameno, sam si sedl vedle ni a Vavkina pkisedl k Bouekovi.

Fraternally yours, (Mrs.) Lillie Matejka, Youth Director, Dist. I Arabian American Oil Co. Abgaiq, Box 46, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia May 29, 1964 Dear Mr. Morris, People seem to have only one conception, regarding this part of the world, of sand, camels, oasis and Bediouns on swift Arabian steeds.

They are partially correct but much is changing, and it is this subject I'd like to delve into for the Vestnik readers, with your kind approval.

VEST.NfK The following article pertains to one of the many gardeners and his attainments among all the shifting sand, blowing shamls, and brackish water at his disposal.

Mr. RSB is an enthusiastic, longtime gardener in the desert, and insists that anything will grow here.

One glance at his lush garden, as he extols upon the subject of horticulture, and I began to feel swept up in his boundless tide of superlatives regarding the subject.

Of course things just don't grow, but Mr. RSB strongly insists that with proper atention to the following points, marvelous results are obtainable: 1. Properly prepared soil 2. Proper drainage 3. Protection from the elements (locally, sand, high winds and locusts).

4. Quality seeds, suited for this area.

Mr. RSB has been coping prizes at the yearly flower shows for years and has a profuse variety to select from each year. Some of the vegetables found in his garden this past winter growing season were Sakurajima radish, (a Japanese variety), winter radish, (German variety), Sparkler, the common radish known to Americans, and the an Arab radish.

Among the cabbages he had Chinese, Danish, and Wakefield varieties, while lettuce included black-seed Thompson, Slobalt, Endive; Swiss Chard, onions, carrots, peanuts, tobacco plants, turnips, potatoes, spinach, dandelion greens, tomatoes, okra, cauliflower, brocolli, beets, and kohlrabi. Interesting and unusual plants include the Garden Huckleberry, Vegetable Marrow, a squash-like plant, with the edible part resembling long thin strands of spaghetti; New Zealand Spinach, better known as hot water spinach, which has a very superb flavor.

Several more vegetables are found in this small garden, but Mr. RSB and and I were at a loss as to what they might be.

Fresh herbs included dill, oregano, parsley, and fennel.

Conservative gardeners might well wince at his helter-skelter method of planting and worse still, watering from the top, but no matter what his methods are, he never has experienced difficulties with nematodes, the blight of all gardens here.

It's a pleasure to the senses and pleasing to the eye to see this unusual array of various greens. I was so swept up in the rapturous subject that I came away with a couple of books, and best of all, read them.

This presents a picture of vegetable gardening, but believe me, we have many beautiful flowers, shrubs, and trees, which would be a lengthy article in itself.

---SPJST---ABOUT 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 onecolumn 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."

ROBSTOWN LODGE NO. 117 Dear Members and Friends, A regular quarterly meeting of Lodge No. 117 was held on June 7, with a temporary-appointed presiding officer, Jaro. Rektorik. The president of Lodge No. 117, Sister Betty Jurica was unable to attend because of the Jurica family reunion. All the other officers were present. Attendance was poor, even worse than usual, partly because of family reunions and illnesses in &amines.

One minute of silence was observed in memory of two recently deceased Members, John Rektorik and Ed. J. Havran. The minutes were read and accepted as read. The delegate to the convention, Victor Janak, sent word that he was unable to attend because of the illness of his wife so the substitute delegate, Adolph Sijansky was to represnt Lodge No. 117. He was given instructions on several items that members had discussed and agreed upon. Siince the resignation of the president at the previous meeting, the lodge had no vice-president. Elected to serve as vice-president for the remainder of 1964 was Sister Darlene Edwards. A thank you note from Mrs. John Rektorik was read. The books were audited by Adolph Sijansky, John Blahuta and Rudy Kalenda. They were found to be in order.

There are two members presently on the sick list. Mrs. Victor Janak is recuperating at home, and Mrs. Rud. Kalenda is ill and has been ailing for some time. It was asked that when members know of any member who is sick to please notify the secretary, Mrs. Geo. Pavelka, so that get well cards can be sent, and to notify the Sick Committee.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 3 p.m. A social hour was enjoyed and refreshments were served.

Fraternally, Mrs. Helen Pavelka, Secretary

1r) LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Friends, I am happy to be able to write that many enjoyed the performance of our Czech comedy, "Smokla Slepice" and also the good barbecued beef dinner.

Many commented on the especially good barbecue, and the credit for that goes to our Entertainment Committee Chairman Harley Cox and helpers Frankie Sembera and Joe Fusig, who worked so hard from midnight on through the whole day! It is hard work like this that helps our lodge and we are indebted to these brothers and also the following hard workers in the kitchen: Sister Annie Vala and her helpers, Ruby Cernosek, Pearl Hanka, Tolita Hilsher, Marie Elzner, Naomi Kostom, Della Kadlecek, Vernon Courtney and Bill Vornsand.

Our thanks also to dinner ticket sellers Louise, Ed, and Mary Louise Kadlecek and Margaret Ann Rezak, and to play ticket sellers Evelyn and Otto Mikeska and Lillian Kruse. Many thanks also to the 'following donors of pastries: Cakes — Marie Elzner, Naomi Kostorn, Ruby Cernosek and Lucy Sostak.

Pies — Pearl Hanka, (2) and Viola Cox. Kolaches — Annie Vrla Of course, many thanks to the fine actresses and actors, who put on a wonderful performance. As hard as they worked, I think they surely deserve to have their names mentioned again. They are: Sisters Birdie Hilsher, Mary Johnson, and Velma Simicek; Brothers Tim Kostom, Rudy Sefcik, Karel Matejka, Jan Schroif, Eman Kouba, Johnnie Sula, Emil Vala and Felix Skarpa; pianists Naomi Kostom and Jerry Pokorny; and prompter Sister Frances Olexa.

The shower for Miss Dorothy Johnson, bride-elect of William Hilsher, son of our Sister and Brother Birdie and Alfred Hilsher, was held at our lodge and was well attended.

In one of my recent letters I wrote how much we all enjoyed, the good music of Wiliam and his Rhythmn Makers when they played for our Lodge dance, but I forgot to mention how much we also enjoyed the beautiful singing of his Brother Robert; I am sure there were many present who wished he had sung more. Both Robert and William Hilsher are very talented!

Our June meeting was well attended. I was happy to meet three of our new members. Quentin Hoffman and

20 Della ands. Joe Miksch. Welcome to our great fraternal organization!

President of the Birthday Club Sisters Estelle Kelly told how Brothers Rudy Zatopek, Frank Olexa and Herman Baetke have helped the Birthday Sisters, and Brother Louis Hanus is the new volunteer to help them.

Brother Ernest Hanka mentioned how much Brothers Ed Kadlecek and Frank Olexa have worked at the new lodge site. Others who also work there often are Willie Slovacek, Tim Kostom, and John and Amos Kadlecek. Of course, Brother Ernie didn't mention his own name, but I am told he is at the new place almost every day, at-tending to all sorts of business!

Chairman Harley Cox talked about the splendid cooperation he received at the Barbecue Dinner — from his committee members and from Sister Annie Vala and her helpers. It is this wonderful cooperation, of all that helped to make it a great success! He also mentioned how much Brother Louis Hanus helped in getting the names together for calling about our play.

In the phone calls I made I was thrilled at the enthusiasm different ones showed about our new building!

"Happy Birthday" was sung to Sisters Irene Slovacek and Emily Bily and Brothers Henry Hruby and Oscar Irelmcamp. After the meeting we spent a most enjoyable social hour.

Delicious snacks were served and Brothers Tim Kostom and Oscar Helmcamp donated the beverages. Many thanks, Tim and Oscar!

Don't forget our dance this Saturday, June 27th, when that popular Henry Brosch Orchestra of Moulton will furnish the music. Come out and enjoy dancing to good music, and bring your friends with you.

Fraternally yours, Tille Helmcamp -SPJST---LODGE NO. 4'7, SEATON Dear Friends: I don't have too much time to write, but I want to get this into the Vestnik before it is too late.

Texas Notebook CONSOLATION TO NO. 2

By LOUIS HOEFERBERT

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, witb Liberty and Justice for all.

This is a note to a wheat-blonde young lady I know only as contestant No. 2, and very nice she is, even if I do not know her name.

What I want to tell you, Miss No. 2, is this: Do not be upset or angry with yourself because you were nervous and

did not get the crown when the queen of SPJST contest was judged at tine Stefanik Lodge hall. You ought not have noticed, but one of the judges was mighty nervous, too , and knew just how you felt.

Other Chances And that is not all. You will get over being nervous and you will have other chances to be a queen. 12ut that judge is through. He is washed up, and lie will not ever judge again. At least he will not ever be a judge in a queen contest again, because he has learned it is a tough job and riot what it is sometimes cracked up to be.

How that judge let his .friend Jarda Cerny talk him into being a j-Lichte the first place is a kind of puzzle.

Maybe it was because Jarda said it was an SPJST contest and that judge was curious about what it meant.

Later on he found out it stands for some Czech words than are hard to spell and harder to pronounce. In English they mean something like Slavonic Benevolent Order of Texas.

The people in this SPJST are people whose folks came from Czechoslovakia or other countries near there. They are good people, some of the finest in Houston, but they have a bad habit of putting c's and z's in their words in place of e's and i's.

But even if they do have words that are hard for some people to say, they sure do know how to cook.

That Stefanik hall was filled with good people and good food, and when that judge sat down with his neighbors, John and Henrietta Sladek, he did not have a mind for anything but Polish sausage with trimmings and the big slabs of German chocolate cake.

Along about then he thought being a judge in a queen contest was the best work a man could ,get.

Essays But it was not long, though. until he began to get nervous.

When Jarda Cerny asked him to be a judge, something was said about girls reciting essays on fraternalism. That judge got a picture in his mind of a whole bevy of little girls, maybe '7 or 8 years old, who had been put into starched frocks and told to recite.

Somehow, he thought one would be the winner and the others would laugh and run off to play, because they did not care much, anyway.

What he learned was that the girls Jarda had mentioned so offhand were two beautiful ladies, and when he saw them he was scared as the dickens.

He saw them in their white evening

Wednesday, June 24, 1964 gowns, with. their bouquets of pink roses and their blond hair all curled and shining, and he knew then he was not the right man for the judging job.

That was when it came to him how hard they had worked, how much it meant to them, and how disappointed one would be while the other was happy.

That was when he wanted to slip out before the judging started, and when he wished there was a way for every girl to be a queen who wanted to be.

And that is why I want Miss No. 2 to know how one judge felt, and why' he will not ever be a judge again in a queen contest if he can see it coming in time to dodge.

-SPJST(The following article appeared in the Houston Chronicle, 31 May 1964, and was written by a staff reporter, Patricia Shelton. — Editor).

WATCH THAT PLACE. MAT! IT MAY BE A POLICY It probably wouldn't take many fingers to count the number of women in your neighborhood who have read the fine print on the family insurance policies.

Lillian Kruse certainly hadn't. She didn't have the slightest idea what it said.

She was too busy (1) keeping house for husband, Lowman, and son, Larry (2) running a 300-acre cotton farm at Sealy on the side and (3) working in her Eastern ,9tar chapter to think about things like insurance.

Then she was approached to become an agent for the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas. The thought was staggering.

"I didn't know one thing about insurance," she said.

That was two years ago. Last year she sold $314,000 worth of life insurance — working at it part time. She already has passed the $350,000 mark this year.

Her "office" is her breakfast nook at 287 Piney Point Rd. Sometimes the male members of the family have to be careful not to grab a policy for a placemat.

Loves Background Lillian is of Czechoslovak descent, and loves her Slavic background. Otherwise, she said, wild horses couldn't have pulled her into the insurance business.

The whole thing started when Jarda Cerny, district representative for SPJST (Slovanske Podporujici Jednoty Statu Texas) told her: "Our fraternal

The above picture and information was sent to us by Sister Lillian Kruse, Lodge No. 88, Houston. The picture and brief article appeared in the CORPUS CHRISTI TIMES of April 22nd, 1964. Sister Courtney is the Youth Leader for Lodge No. 88, and Bro. Vernon is on the Entertainment Committee. — Editor.

JAYCEE REGISTRATION — Mr. and Mrs. V. L. Courtney of Houston register for the Texas Junior Chamber of Commerce state convention which opened recently in Corpus Christi. The convention was expected to attract 2,500 delegates and their wives. Registration was at the Driscoll Hotel, which was also convention headquarters. order needs agents." She thought it over, decided to give it a try. The order is largely, although not exclusively, Czech.

Among other things, Lillian thought, it would be good to speak the Czech language with people she would contact. So she took a one-week couse at

the supreme lodge in Temple and went to work.

As of right now there are nearly 3,000 SPJST members in Houston and, according to Lillian, at least 350,000 Czechs in Texas. More are coming in all the time.

So even though she only sells insur-

V2STN.IK ance to a certain group, the field is wide.

Evening Appointments Learning the life insurance business from scratch took a bit of studying. It also took an understanding family. Although she only works at it part time many of her appointments have to be In the evenings when she can talk with husbands and wives together.

She said one main point she tries to get across to the wife is that when a husband takes out a lot of insurance on himself it really is for his wife's benefit.

Needs vary, she pointed out, but generally a family man should carry insurance equalling five times his annual income.

Lillian's parents, Frank and Rosie Zapalka, both born in Czechoslovakia, met and married in this country. They oprated a farm at Sealy until Mr. Zapalka. died in 1958. Lillian was their only child.

She took over the farm management.

"I go there once, sometimes twice a week," she related.

Her husband, who works for an engineering company, is of German ancestry. Their son, 15, speaks the Czech language, and is learning German.

They all are active in the SPJST. No Predictions Yet Lillian isn't predicting how much insurance she'll sell by the end of the year, just "all that I can." Her total last year qualified her for membership in the Women Leaders Round Table of the National Assn. of Life Underwriters. She was one of 19 Texas wom en who made it.

In recent weeks she has been studying hours at a time for a new job worthy matron of Bluebell Chapter No. 856 of the Order of Eastern Star. She was installed June 6. She was also a delegate to the SPJST convention in Waco.

Besides that, she does her own housework.

"I get behind, but I catch up again - eventually," she said.

FAHRENHEIT. Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, A German physicist, developed the thermometer scale that bears his name. By using mercury instead of alcohol in the tube, he made it more accurate than those in use earlier.

ZEPPELIN. The cigar-shaped airship that could be steered and propelled, and that at one time seemed to have a big future in aviation, is named after Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the German, who invented its rigid frame.

LODGE NO. 54, WEST Dear Vestnik Readers, Well, the days are really getting hot.

We didn't have much of a youth club meeting because so many were absent due to many other activities. No old business. but some new business was discussed, regarding the Youth Activity Day on June 28th in Fort Worth. So, everyone get busy and decide what you want to enter.

We have some new youth club members. Jeanete Leo and Ernest Makovy and also Barbara Helona. Welcome to our lodge! Let's congratulate our Brother Raymond Volcik for being elected constable. Also special thanks go to Mr. and Mrs. Emil Popp for donating the paint and labor to paint the floor of the ladies' and men's restrooms. Also helping out was Brother Henry Popp. They also donated attractive ash trays.

We had a game between us and the Cottonwood youth. Girls score was 9 to 7; boys 32 to 28. So we were pretty close. Our next game will be July 12th at the West Hall. West will provide the umpires. So get ready for the softball game.

Thanks go to Brother Joe Holasek; he will donate the barbecue for the convention delegates at our hall on June 16th. That's all the news.
