Zaleti veimi na Utednicicht du, aby v takovYch ptinadech poeina.li si .klidne a obeztetne i tehdy, kdyby hrot nedirvery ptimo proti nim samYrn byl obracen. Chybou jest, te nastanouli neshody nejake, nejlepei z mince, hledice na vec piilisr tragicky, traceji hiavu.

Jan Cimbura JIHOOESKA IDYLA Pokraeovani Kovanda jednim tnutim ptetezal postranky a Marjanka odpinala konim navojniky. Ale Cimbura stal na volelici na same zemi uprostted ji mezi koni a sehnul se k Divoke popadl ji jednou rukou za chomout — druhou za Siroky kolenY pohtibetnik.

Kiri jako by vettil pomoc — vsi silou vzepjal se nejdtive ptedkem do vySe a v zapeti hned i zadkem vyhodil vesele si potom zatehtal a u2 volnY jako vitr uhanel 'k Hradiki. Valach touebne, bolostne zaplakal.

"Hned, Dobraku, hned ti pomohu," chlacholil ho Cimbura a uZ zvedal i jeho, az jizva ye tvati barvila se rude a oei krvi se podlevaly. Ale tu uz i druzi ptiskoeili a pomiohli. Za ocas, za hlavu, za hiivu, kde se kdo chytil zvedal zaboteneho kone do vYrSe. Vyzvedli ho — ten se ottas1 ajako Aipka letel dlouhYmi skoky za Divokou.

"Kone — celeho kone zvedl sam a sam a jako pirko postavil ho na nohy" tikali sedlaci a s filasem hledeli na Cimburu. Ten se vAak diva!, jako by se nic nestalo a hmoZdil se s vozem.

"Nech toho, chlapee," ptistoupil k nernu Kovanda, "zachranil jsi mi tisic zlatek — Pan Bah ti to odplat'," a potta,s1 mu rukou.

JeSte vic si ho zamiloval — ale nejen on — nYlar2 zamilovalt si ho i oba zachraneni kone. KdyZ" ozval se Chnburfiv hlas, hned uSima KdyZ na ne zavolal, pies vgecko k nemu Mel' a kdyZ v jizde jazykem na ne mlaskal, vydalo to vic, neZ kdyZ" sedlak bieem zapraskl.

Silaic Cimbura zamiloval si je take — mazlil se s nimi, hladil je, miuvii na ne a kdyz hospodat s nimi odjel do Pisku anebo pana radu vezl do Prahy stYskalo se mu po nich a ani se jich doekati nemohl . .

Nejvice Mtn ji sam sedlak Kovanda hrdy na sveho pacholka. Ten nejvic a nejradeji o Cimburovi mluvil a pti fitednim jednani, na schrizich z celeho kraje — o trzich vYroenich — o pouti a posvicenich jeho —sta ptekypovala chvalou Jana Cimbury.

Na trhu ye vSech zkoUSkach obstal — nohy jsem mu zvedal, sam jsem ho ye voze pro -jel—`vYborn9 tekl jsern vysazel za neho tti stovky.

A hie, sotva mu kovat kladivkem na koPYto klepal, vytahi se z ohlavky, jako mtin z ruky se mi vysmeki zafehtal a jako vitr padil spla genY po nays' vzhfiru. Sebehli se muMti, s biei ptibehli a do kola jsme si ho zahnali. Ale nikdo, ani ja, neodvOil jsem se k nernu. Toeil zadkem a bil po kaZdern, kdo se jen o krok k nemu ptiblilil, ruby cenil, vyhril'Zne tehtal. `Nebude jinak,' myslime si vkchni, `bude tteba do oka ho chytit, provazem ho spoutat', kdyZ" vtom ptgel Kovadriv pacholek — Cimbura Bez biee, s holYma rukama postavil se proti koni. podival se neidtive na rem, pak na kone a u'Z skoeil po nem, chriapl, za chtipi ho chriapl, rukou trhl a kilri kleeel rated nim na pfednich a Cimbura jej ptivedl zkrotleho a chvejiciho se na celem tele jako oveeku, do kovarny znet."

Jako p erry poslouchali zbohle a tise Dovedli oceniti smelost, velikost toho vYkorru a byli dojati, okouzleni.

7 "Jednou S'patne zajel inuj pacholek," ozval se Porazil, aby I on ptiloZil listek do slavovence Cimburova, protoZe citil, ze tim roste take slava jeho obce, slava HradtAte "jak vjiZdel do dvora, malt' rejd vzal a kolem o pi iii zachytil.

"To ze udelalr "Ano, to udelal, jako hraeku to dokazal."

A pti torn je yam rnekkY jako to — takovY citlivY elovek," ujal se slova znovu Kovanda, aby v chvalofeet pokraeoval a eintim CimburovYm korunu na hlavu posadil "nikonau neublili, ani myk — kdyZ jeteliSte ate a myk vyora, i s hnizdem je stranou na mez poro'Zi.

Aby mu podal o tom dfikaz, uminil si , ze ho z ylaAte yyznamena.

"Pan rada chce jeti do Prahy a tentokrate ho poveze g ty," iekl jednoho :rine Cimburovi.

UelVIE SE PESKY Lekce etrnacta — Lesson No. 14 Rules of spelling and punctuation.

The Czech alphabet possesses the ability of rendering the quantity of vowels by the use of the earka, and the palatal sound of the three consonants, d' t', To further increase the number of sounds and letters, the haeek or caret is used for some hushing sounds.

C r — i° Z As indicated previously, the following are "hard consonants: d' t', n, h, ch, k and r. If these hard consonants are followed by the pIt bIt sound, the sound must be spelled with a y or S', thusly: chytrY kdyby (byl) kytice tyden ZadnY rytii hybnji The soft consonants are d',t', r, and also c and j. If these are followed by the ee (bee, see) sound, the sound must be spelled with an i or 1, thusly: divat 'Oslo ticho iizek cizinee nieitel jiskra slti Words with i or i in their root are in the vast majority.

The "neutral" consonants b, p, v, f, m, 1, s, and z, are followed by either i, 1, or y, Sr, according to their origin or derivation.

When you add a prefix before 'words like tied, the long It is retained: beziiCe10.

USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS: There is a difference in the usage of capital letters in Czech and English. Ex.: Yesterday was Wednesday, July 14, 1963.

Veera byla stieda, 14. eervence 1964 Consequently, days of the week and month arc NOT capitalized. NOTE ALSO THAT A SIMPLE PERIOD IS USED AFTER THE DATE. Proper nouns, that is, names of persons, places, things, nations, etc. (but not religious bodies or organizations) titles of books, films, etc. take capitals: Ex.: Karel Dvoiak, Wilsonovo nadraii, Dunaj, Anglican, eechy, Smetanova opera, "Prodana, nevesta", etc., and NaAe Hinsko-katolicka eirkev; Vclika slovanska podporujici jednota.

Ve stfedu dne 12. srpna, 1952 Capitals are not used for emphasis or for news headlines in Czech. On the whole the use of capital letters is rather restricted in Czech.

Here are other important points in spelling: Pronouns and possessive adjectives of the POLITE - FORMAL usage are capitalized, as are those of the FAMILIAR - INFORMAL usage: Vy, Yam, VAS; Ty Tviij, Tobe. The latter are ALWAYS in caps; the polite form is capitalized only when referring to one person. If you are referring to a group (plural), then the pronouns are not capitalized.

A common error made by many Czechs in this area is that when they use the formal Vy, Vas, Vam, they use a PLURAL verb, although they are addressing only one person. WRONG: Vy, (1 person) jste yeera jeli do mesta.

RIGHT: Vy jste jel do mesta. DO NOT USE A PLURAL VERB UNLESS YOU ARE SPEAKING TO MORE THAN ONE PERSON. The pronoun ja is not capitalized; neither do we capitalize adjectives and adverbs indicating nationality. (This is done in English). Ex., Main eesku ienu. (I have a Czech •wife). Mluvime eesky. (We speak Czech).

Punctuation marks are the same in Czech as in English: (See also Lesson 5). teeka (.) vykrienik (!)

Barka (,) uvozovaei strcdnik (;) znamenka, (" ") zavorky ( ) dvojteeka (:) rozdelovaci ponaleka (—) znamenko (-) otaznik (?)

One big difference in English and Czech punctuation has to do with the use of commas.

Commas are used before and after a relative clause: Ztratil jsem knihu, kterou mi dal.

— before and after a noun clause: Je dobre, ze tomu rozum1S. — before and after an adjective clause: VSechen cukr, vkchna kava.

— before and after an adverbial clause: Jakruile me uvidel, ;el prye Finally, quotation marks are always preceded by a colon. Ex.: ()tee fekl svnovi: "Pokraeuj a tie se!" (In Czech, the first quotation marks are on the line, not inverted, and ARE inverted at the end of the quotation. Our machines here do not print the double inverted quotation marks. The trend here in the US is to use the standard ".

English quotation marks Next week: More grammar.

Brother Calvin Chervenka the Chairman of the Publicity Committee made his report to the convention and the recommendations of the Publicity Committee. A motion was made by Brother Calvin Chervenka that the report of the Publicity Committee be accepted as read, which was seconded and accepted, and which is as follows: Report of the 19th SPJST Convention Publicity Committee Sister and Brother Delegates: The 19th convention Publicity Committee has been composing and mailing the SPJST Convention Report entitled "Daily Summary"' for every day of the convention thus far and it is our intention to continue doing this throughout the convention until the adjournment date. A copy of each such report is attached to and is a part of this report.

Each of the "Daily Summary" reports is mailed to 25 daily newspapers, 25 weekly newspapers, 6 Czech language newspapers, 36 radio stations, 3 television stations, and 3 special correspondents, making a total of 91i news media outlets located in the SPJST area of Texas. The mailing list for this distribution is attached to and is a part of this report.

Our committee wishes to express its thanks to the convention secretarial and printing staff, whose members are Sister Dorothy Tomasek, Sister Irma Klinkovsky, Brother Jerry Mikulas, and Brother Leonard Mikeska, for their excellent cOoperation and assistance during the long and late hours of work necessary to accomplish this activity.

We are also grateful to Brother Frank Klinkovsky who has voluntarily assisted us in this activity.

In addition to the "Daily Summary" mailing we have reported newsworthy developments to the local news media immediately at the close of each morning and afternoon session and the convention banquet. These reports have been directed to local newspaper, radio, stations, and television stations of

Wednesday, August 12, 1.964 the Waco. area, When i lie reports have in,been of sufficient .. terest, . as in the seek i;:,I of "Miss SPJST of the 1964 Con y : ntion", the local representativcs of th, Asocie, htern,d Press and United news and photo wire services ha ye transmitted these news stories and pictures throughout the state. It is expected that we will 'utilize this means of transmitting the information about the election of officers on this, the closing day of the convention, The reception of the news media toward our public relations efforts has been most favorable and generally; much better than was expected. This we assume is due at least in part to the preconvention mailing of appropriate information to acquaint the news media with the meaning, history, purposes, membership, services, and activities of the SPJST. A copy of this preconvention mailing is attached to and is a part of this report.

We are most grateful to the Supreme Lodge President, Brother Edward L. Marek,. for his appointment, of a preconver4tion public relations director and to the Convention Chairman, Bro. Paul Sablatura; for his appointment of this special convention committee. The committee also acknowledges the full cooperation and support of a..11 the Supreme Lodge Officers and all the convention officers and delegates in the performance of its task.

It has been gratifying to the members of this committee to learn of the publication of SPJST Convention news in many of both the small and the leading newspapers of Texas and to hear of its use on radio and television.

In order that we may haVe a scra p -boktshwproelythxnof our publicity, we earnestly request that you send us any such ,news eponing,s from your hometown when you return home. Please send the entire sheet of the newspaper in which the article appeared, if passible. Also give us the call letters of any radio stations and television stations which may have carried any news of our convention.

Although the work of our committee has been somewhat arduous in nature, we have been enrol-r.-.,. , gratified, impressed, an , 1 acif'r!-ate,ly rewarded by the reception ri dt-irFement that you, our bro' deleffates, have given our i,.-Jork.

The exact value of this work of our committee in terms of increased acquaintance with and good will toward

11

ITtSTNf the SPJST will never be known. Likewise, the return on the investment can never be calculated. However, it is hoped. that our organizers will capitalize on any advantageous effect of -iunlicity. Likewise, we hope that our delegates, upon their return home, will take the opportunity created by this publicity to answer the many questions and tell their friends and acquaintances even more about our fraternal order and our convention.

Believing that any really effective public relations program must be of a long-range nature and must be well planned and conducted as a continuous program, we sincerely recommend that our Supreme Lodge President and Vice-President, by the power vested in them by our Constitution and By-Laws, plan and conduct a suitable active public relations program for the four years between conventions and accelerate that program immediately before and during each convention, In addition, we recommend that the individual members, local lodge officers, district officers, and Supreme Lodge Officers avail themselves of every opportunity (1) to participate in community activities and services in behalf of the lodge, the district and the order, (2) to explain the meaning, history, purposes, membership, services, and activities of the SPJST, and (3) to otherwise cooperate in the p romotion of any favorable publicity Or other public relations activity which will benefit this organization and will solicit the good will of others.

In closing, we recommend the use of the general and more all — inclusive words "Public Relations", rather than "Publicity", to best describe these recemended activities.

Respectfully submitted to the 19th: SPJST Convention by the Publicity Committee of that Convention.

Calvin C. Chervenka (69), Chairman E. J. Kadlecek (88) Angeline Kristinek (157) =Terry Milan (154) Brother move for the p,dontion of this report. And it was adopted.

• • Officers' Supplemental reports Convention Report of President of the Supreme Lodge Sister and Brother Delegate- of this XIX. Convention: This is my preconvention supplemental report. I am giving this report in accordance with Article 46-s of our By-Laws for your consideration We have many matters to come before us in this convention, so I will make this report as brief as possible.

I suggest that we place all matters that can be attended to by the several committees into their hands. In so doing we will save time and expedite those matters which will come before the whole body on the floor.

The major matters that we will have to reckon with in this convention are the return of premiums to lodges, the youth camp, the Home Office, and the language preference of this convention.

To the return of premiums I favor a 4% return to the lodges as recommended by our actuary. This would be a 100% increase. And, at the same time would allow us to slowly lower the mortality table interest rate of the several classes that are still carried on the 3 1/9% accumulative factor down to 3%.

In regard the youth activities I favor recreational facilities for our youth, however I am in favor of this being done on a leased basis for the coming four years. I favor a committee be appointed in this convention which would study and bring to the XX Convention their renort of the finding and a recommendadtion as to what the committee would favor.

In regard to the Home Office here in Temple, I am in favor of an office building built to meet the requirements of this Order. I shall offer any further suggestion orally in the convention.

VESTNfK

12

The selection of the language for this convention and in this I favor we use the language which will be best understood by all present and in which most can express themselves best. I favor that every member should have the privilege of expressing himself either in Czech or in English. I favor the minutes be written in the English language. I will express my views on any further matters that may come before the convention if need be.

In our last convention we the newly elected officers pledged to the delegates, that we would work for a 10 mil,lion mark of new insurance `soldbefore this XIX Convention, and I can now say with satisfaction, that we passed this mark, as you will see from the reports of Brother Hejny, our Vice President, who is head of the organizational work. And, too, we pledged renewed efforts in keeping our Order going forward and this too, we can now safely say has been achieved. On December 31, 1960, in our annual report to the Department of Insurance in Austin, the admitted assets were $11,092,855.58 and on December 31, 1963, in the report to the Insurance Department, they were $13,040,132.98, a gain of $1,947,877.40. We feel that this gain reflects upon the good management of the Supreme Lodge. A review of the financial report in the preconvention reports, you will note that we made good gains in membership and insurance in force. We are proud of these achievements.

I trust, that whatever matters may come before this convention, we shall work out for the best of the Order. I assure you that it has been my pleasure and honor to serve y en in the capacities to which you have elected me in the past. I treasure the opportunities this offered ire. I have worked and carried out to the best of my ability all of the re p osnsibilities in the positions that I have served you and I assure you that I shall carr y them nil f . in l'ke manner. unto the end of m y term.

With best wishes to each and every one of you. I am Fraternally Yours, Edward L. Wfarek —SP.TST

Convention Report of Vice-President of the Suprer'e Lodge Sisters and Brothers of the XIX SPJST Convention This is my p re-convention surmlemental report for your consideration, I will try to make my report as brief as possil;:e.

As you have noticed, in the pre-convention reports of our officers in the April 22nd issue of the Vestnik, our SPJST Order is progressing very nicely. We have gained steadily in securing membership as well as in our financial resources.

During the past 3 years, 1961 through 1963, we wrote $9,270,545.00 of life insurance, for an average $3,090,181.00 a year, and since January lst., 1964 through May 1964, we wrote an additional $1,686,295.00 of life insurance.

In 1956, only $1,302,250.00 of life insurance was written_ In 1957, we almost doubled this amount by writing $2,0J4, 600.00 of life insurance. In 1963, we wrote $3,520,000.00 of life insurance, almost 3 times as much as was written in 1956.

We are proud of the fact that the Texas Fraternal Monitor listed the SPJST as one of the top three Fraternal Organizations operating in Texas to secure the most members and insurance in the state of Texas for the past three years. This alone is proof enough that we are progressing with and above other Fraternal Societies in the state of Texas.

Dear Brother and Sister delegates, I want to reiterate here that all this work is still done by only 2 secretaries just as it was done prior to 1957. The only time we employed an extra stenographer was during the revising and converting of our rate books and certificates up to date . When I came to office in 1957, they were issuing Mortgage Cancellation. Plans, Endowment Plans and all other plans we sold on an ordinary life certificate, by x-ing out and typing in. (THIS MUST HAVE CREATED A I OT OF PRESTIGE FOR THE SPJST). Those of you who were organizers at that time will well remember how embarrasssing it was to deliver a certificate with xxx's all over the certificate.

In our Youth Department, we have steadily increased the interest of our Youth in Our lodge, district end State activities, We have to eive credit to our Youth Lea ders for their untiring effects Sn this great achievement, and t h er e Fore I heartily Q urrnort the recomre endatirie of the By-Law Committee that a full t'me State Youth Director be a r -Jointed to further develop the potentials of our SPJST Youth.

I would like to take the liberty to recommend to you delegates: 1. To adopt the 1958 CSO Mortality Table.

2. That the proceedings of this Con-

Wednesday, August 12, 1064 vention be carried in the English language, but to give an opportunity to any delegate to express his opinions in the Czech language and if he so des_res, to have the chaiiman of the convention translate any business on the floor into the Czech language. I believe in promoting the Czech language wherever it is feasible, but at a convention of an organization with over 13 million in assets, I am of a firm belief that the transactions should be carried in the language in which the majority of delegates can better express themselves.

3. To sell our present Home Office building and build one that would answer the needs of the Home Office. I would like to express my opinion and suggestions on this matter orally, if I am given the privilege to do so in the Convention.

In conclusion, I would like to express my sincere appreciation and thanks to the delegates who , re-elected me to the office of Vice President in the 1960 Convention in San Antonio and I certainly would be honored if you delegates of this Convention would re-elect me to this office again, for I assure you that I enjoy my work and if I am given the privilege to serve you as Vice President for the next four years that I will endeavor to serve to the best of my abilities.

I wish the XIX Convention the best success and may all of our deliberations be in the spirit of Brotherhood. I am certainly looking forward to meeting all of you in Waco on June 15th.

Respectfully submitted, Joe B. Hejny —SPJST secretary of Convention Supreme Lodge Dear Sisters and Brother Delegates: As provided in Article 46 (s) of our By-Laws the reports of all members of the Supreme Lodge were published in our official organ dated April 22nd, 1964 to January 1, 1964. And I am hereby submitting my supplemental report from January 1. 1964 to June 1s t . 1964.

We were quite busy during 1964. All death claims were settled as promptly as possible and the numerous certificate loans were processed without delay. In the five months, there were 138 death claims paid in the amount of $153,069.00. We received 107 real estate mortgage loan applications in the amount of $1,481,956.00 and during the same time 86 loans were consummated to the amount of 876,671.00. We

Wednesday, August 12, 1964 now have in our files over $750,000.00 in loan commitments that have not been consummated pending completion of construction, in the June 3rd issue of Vestnik there is a detailed. statement of the income and expense, assets and liabilities, sources of income from investments, premium income and other miscellaneous items of income which was prepared for publication by FinancialSecretary Ben Zabcik from the annual statement to the State Department of Insurance. In the convention issue of Vestnik on the inside back cover is a condensed statement of condition of cur Order as of January 1, 1964 . These statements reveal that a fairly good progress was made. Credit due for the good condition belongs to the membership as a whole but especially to our Organizers, Youth Directors, the progressive local lodge officers for their untiring work.

I am again appealing to the delegates to accept the recommendation of the By-Laws Committee. This body has met three times and put in five days of deliberations, and they are in session throughout the convention, they have considered every proposal from all angles and have consulted with authorities, Caine to conclusions of what is best and made their recommendations. By accepting the By-Law changes and amendments as recommended you will save much valuable time, We could also save a lot of time by conducting the convention in the English language as we have many delegates who do not understand any Czech. I don't know of any delegate who doesn't understand the English Language and those who are conversant better in Czech than English should be given the right to do so. The last convention which lasted five days cost almost $50.000.00. If we can save a day or more in convention time the money saved could be used for some worthy fraternal activities.

Believe me that the convention chairmen and committees would be relieved to have the session completed as early as possible as it is no vacation for them.

One of the problems facing the convention is the percentage of refunds to local lodges of the premiums remitted to the Supreme Lodge. The By-Laws Committee received various proposals.

The actuary of our Order stated that a 4% refund would not jeopardize our solvency but he hesitated to allow any

VESTNfK more in order not to cut the percentage in , the future, If the delegates do not ask for more than 4%, which is a 100% increase over the present rate, the issue will be adopted without any opposition.

As stated in my previous report I have enjoy co my work thoroughly and tried to serve everyone fairly and impartially. I want to thank the delegates for having confidence in me to elect me to the new office. I am a candidate for re-election to the office of secretary and your support will be greatly appreciated. With the experience of the last three and half years I believe I will be able to render a better service.

Wishing the XIX Convention a harmonious and fruitful sesion, I am, Fraternally yours, R. A. Urbanovsky, Secretary SPJSTSuplemental Convention Report of Treasurer of Supreme Lodge SPJST Sister and Brother. Delegates: Since my Pre-Convention report was published in the official organ Vestnik, dated April 22, 1964 along with the reports of the other members of the Supreme Lodge, I am now submitting a brief supplemental report for the period from January 1, 1964 to June 1, 1964.

Attached to my supplemental report you will find sheets on which I have indicated various information about Real Estate Mortgage Loans and on one of the sheets you will see that the Lodge has 1362 Real Estate Mortgage Loans in 77 various counties in the State of Texas, Property REO No. 140 — which was acquired by foreclosure on October 1, 1963 has been sold at a Profit of $973.55 for the Supreme Lodge SPJST Property REO No. 141 — which was acquired by a foreclosure on January 7, 1964 has been sold without any profit or loss to the Supreme Lodge SPJST. In the sale of some of the pro perties in the past, which were acquired by the Supreme Lodge by foreclosure, the Lodge retained rights to receive benefits from any production of oil or minerals that would develop on such property. At the present time the Supreme Lodge holds such rights on 54 pieces of property located in 19 various counties in the State of Texas.

Durin g the storm that visited the City of Temple, on May 1, 1964, the

13 air conditioning tower located on the roof of the SPJST Building was completely demolished, the main roof was badly damaged and one of the air vents on the roof of the building was destroyed. The building is insured under four policies in the total sum of $180,000.00 We received $1,404.00 in payments for the damages from the four insurance companies.

It is not my intention to prolong my supplemental report, therefore if you have any questions to ask, I certainly will be very glad to answer on any matters pertaining to the Treasurer's Department.

Before concluding this brief report, I wish to again thank the Delegates of the SPJST Convention held in San Antonio, Texas, for re-electing me as Treasurer of the Supreme Lodge and to the Delegates of the XIX Convention, I certainly hope and will appreciate if you will support my candidacy for th:s office for another term. I have always endeavored to perform my services faithfully and assure you that if re-elected will serve our Fraternal Order, as I have before.

Wishing the XIX Convention a harmonious and fruitful session, I am, Fraternally yours, Jos. Koliha, Jr. Treasurer Supreme Lodge SPJST. SPJST

Wednesday, August 12, 1964 including the reserve and surplus, into real estate loans the past four years for the reason that loans on City property earns 5.5% annually and loans on farm property earns 5% annuahy. Real Estate investments earn our Order more revenue than other safe investments. Bonds will not earn more than 4%. Payment of 1% to the attorney in connection with real estate loans nets more revenue than any other safe investments at this time.

In years past about one half of the mortuary fund was invested in bonds.

Time may come when more money will be invested in bonds and the attorney's fees will be greatly reduced.

From reacting the report of our financial secretary in Vestnik dated April 22, 1964, you notice the following facts pertaining to income and expenses in connection with real estate loans during the past four years: Expenses Interest Received $13,909.85 $421,968.08 1960 $24,549.42 $429,006.11 1961 $19,841.42 495,306.44 1962 $22,244.42 $550,008.97 1963 $80,244.42 $1,887.289.60 Total Total amount of money invested in real estate loans in the four year period: $8,590,639.08.

In the past when loans were made only based on abstracts the attorney was paid 2% of the amount of the loan. Later reduced to 1.5%.

Now when loans are closed on Guaranty Title Policies or abstracts the fee has been reduced to 1%, in spite of the fact that during that time, rent, cost of law books, secretarial help has tripled. when we hear the sum of $80,544.97 — that sounds Great. Bear in mind that our office spends approximately $23,500.90 annually on office rent, secretaries and other expenses. The income is reduced considerably.

Remuneration of the attorney on fee basis is most satisfactory for the Supreme Lodge because it is necessary that the money be invested as soon as the borrower is ready to close the loan, and the attorney, whoever he may be, closes the loan promptly in order that he receive bis fee for his services.

Many other organizations such as Kej.T1., K.J.Z.T., Germania Mutual Insurance Company of Brenham and others elect their attorneys. Such procedure is proper because the attorney owes allegiance to the delegates, in this instance to the SPJST and does not have to fear that he will be removed. from office by not

VESTNTIC following the wishes of other officers and by quoting the law.

For instance when some officer wanted the SPJST to organize a HOLDING CORPORATION to buy all land belonging to the SPJST and sign notes for the land at figures greater than the value of the land, the attorney, if appointed, would either have to abide by the wishes of the other members or be removed from office. There are many other instances where such procedure might take place, even in attempts to convert the Order to a stock or mutual company as has already been attempted. No such attempt has been made in the past 8 years.

There are times, such as now, that the Supreme Lodge has on hand applications exceeding $500,000.00 and the applicants are not ready to close their loans. Supreme Lodge has nearly enough money to close such applications. After the improvements are completed, it takes all of our office force to close the loans as soon as pos-

15 sible to satisfy the borrowers and invest the mortuary fund.

As far as I know the attorney has always served as advisor to the Committee on By-Laws. Your attorney has to interpret the By-Laws to the Supreme Lodge, lodges and members. By constantly rea.dIng the By-Laws he learns the discrepancies, duplications therein and hence attempts to point out such errors. Attorney is not elected to handle the commercial end of the Order — that is the duty of the Investment Committee, and serves that committee only in advisory capacity dealing with legal matters only.

With growth of our Order financially and membership services of your attorney increase likewise.

All four of us have attempted to give the legal matters of our Order priority at all times, over and above any other work we have.

Fraternally yours, August Kacir, Attorney

June 10, 1964 Temple, Texas CONVENTION REPORT OF FINANCIAL SECRETARY Sister and Brother Delegates: As a supplement report to our !XIX Convention, I am submitting a financial statement for the first five months of 1964, from Jan. 1 to June 1, 1984. This statement shows our ledger assets as $13,011,154.64 or an increase of $233,786.28 for the five month period.

During my first term in office, I had a big job to do; but even at that, I attended as many District Meetings as possible, also other lodge functions, three Texas Fraternal Congress Conventions, and many other lodge activities.

In these meetings I ,got better acquainted with our lodge officers, and this in turn made my work in the office much easier. Once you know the lodge officers personally, it's much easier to work and correspond with them.

The work in rev department is pro gressing very satisfactorily. We try to stay on schedule, and our work is planned so that we know ahead the duties for each day. Whenever possible, we an-wer all the correspondence the same clay as received. This office procedure is possible only through the full cooperation from ocr other departments, and I am proud to say that I get full cooperation from the other officers, the office personnel, the directors, and the lodge officers, especially the secretaries and financial secretaries of the lodges from whom we collect our insurance premiums. It's my desire to work closely with our lodge officers and members in order to maintain a progressive organization.

The following is my financial statement. $12,777;368.36 Balance 1-1-64 INCOME. 341,461 63 Premiums 15,435.38 Interest on Certificate Loans 196.285.67 Interest on Mortgage Loans 12,050.00 Interest on Bonds 4,500.00 Dividends on Stock 5,527.61 Royalties and Minerals 4,000.00 Reinsurance Recovered 100.00 REO Rent Refunds of Premiums 3,511.24 (1963 Reinsurance) 350.19 Escrow

CORRECTION In the July 29th issue of the Vestnik, in the caption under the picture of Sister Julia Klimicek, of Lodge No. 1, Fayetteville, we erroneously stated that she joined the Order on May 14th, 1911.

(This is the date that Sister Aloisie Baca joined the SPJST). Sister Klimicek joined the Order in 1903, making her the oldest living member of Lodge No. 1. We hereby make this correction and set the record straight.

LETTERS ALL OUT FOR CZECH DAY AT THE STATE FAIR IN DALLAS ON OCTOBER 11th Dear Brothers and Sisters: The American-Czech Festival Committee, which coordinates all the activities of Czech Dady, is composed of people representing all the Czech organizations in the Dallas area, such as the SPJST, RVOS, SVPS, CSA, KJT, KJZT, ZCBJ, Circle of Czech Women, etc. The committee started its work shortly after the beginning of the New Year, so that we might demonstrate to the general public our love for our country, our heritage, and that we honor and revere our past, our ancestors, our culture and our lan-

:guage and the arts. We are thus keeping faith with our forefathers and showing that we have not forgotten them and their contributions to their new-found homeland.

Our general chairman is that tireless work, Bro. Milos Halouzka, who is devoting all his free time and energies to this great task. Another faithful worker, who has had the same responsibilities in years past is Bro. Sid Pokla,dnik. Another good worker is Bro, Phil Reames and Mrs. Reames, who haven't missed a single meeting of the committee so far this year. John G. Bubak is another fine worker. He is an attorney and is chairman of the Program Committee, and is working hard to get about 60 musicians together from the various Czech communities for this big occasion. There are about 40 of us on this committee and all of us are working hard to insure the success of this project.

The first thing on the program will be the speakers. At the present time, we are trying to get Governor Connally to address the gathering. Then come the dancing groups, performing the "beseda," of which we hope to have more than 20 circles. After that will come the young singers, under the leadership of Mrs. Bessie Valcik. She has likewise been preparing the youngsters for this event for a long time.

Next will come those examples of physical fitness, the Sokols, from Ennis, Corpus Christi, Fort Worth, and Dallas, who always so willingly contribute their talents to these occasions.

Their performance alone is worth travelling a long distance to see.

Finally, instead of one group of adult singers, you will witness a massed group of about '70, which will consist of the combined choruses of SPJST Lodge No. 84, under the direction of Frank Henzen, and the Lodge No. 66 Choral Group, under the direction of Nick Morris, and the Dallas KJT group, under the direction of Bob G. Liska. These three groups will perform

as one body, and for their finale number will sing, "America, The Beautiful."

This will really be something to see and hear, T'HEREI WILL BE NO ADMISSION CHARGE TO ANY OF THESE ACTIVITIES. My dear friends, if interested groups from as far away as Chicago can come to the Czech Day, I am sure that you will not want to let this opportunity pass without your being present. Let's show them how we Texans can support our own endeavors. Make plans now to come to the State Fair in Dallas and especially to visit the Czech Day events on Sunday, October 11th, in the Coliseum.

Fratrenally, Hugo Schefcak, Sr. Rep. LODGE POKROK SWEET HOME NO. 63 Dear Members: This is to inform you that our next regular meeting will, be held Sunday, August 16, at 2 p.m.

After the meeting a social will be held and the sisters are asked to again bring whatever goodies they wish and the refreshments will be taken care of.

We will be looking for you Sunday, August 16.

LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON "KNIGHTS OF DIXIE PLAYED" Dear Brothers and Sisters: Are you making plans for the NEW LODGE SITE PARK IMPROVEMENT DAY? It will be Sunday, August 23rd, an all-morning and all-afternoon affair. Bring your work clothes and work tools to help as a good fraternal member. Note other letter in this week's Vestnik for future plans. Saturday, the Knights of Dixie Orchestra played to a very large crowd. Among our distant city friends were Mr. and Mrs. Bubela, Mrs. Herbert Kloesel, and Director Carl W. Zich of the Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Association.

Thanks for coming, hope to see you again soon. Loraine Krutilek celebrated her birthday by coming to the Talent Contest. We missed our faithful friends, Mr. and Mrs. John Kadlecek at the dance. First one they missed this year. Mr. and Mrs. F. Broz had a happy time at the dance with their lovely children, Karen and Kenneth doing the twist in a talented manner. The champion twisters, Fred Burl, James

18 Hightower, Mike Green, Jim Decker, along with cute Mary Louise Kadlecek, Joan. Ann Casio:a and Margaret Ann Rezek, really twisted up the north end of the dance floor. Diana Schnell and Marian Kadlecek folded our announcement letters about our lodge clean-up day. Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs, our friends from Timber Grove Manor, danced as if they were poured together. Pearl Hilseher closed her eyes in dancing the "Blue Skirt Waltz." Where was W. Manning, the president of the Timbergrove Civic Club? Weldon Hendricks and sweet wife danced to the end without a complaint about the weather. Nick Morris our Vestnik editor, came out, in preparation for District Talent Contest. Herman Liebscher and wife Margaret came through the windows and brought 30 couples with them to hear the Knights of Dixie. Albert Haas and F. Blume chatted about old times and showed his worn out insurance policy. The Smoteks missed our dance, but made up for it by serving on the food line at the District Talent Contest. The brown envelopes caused all the wives great concern about their husbands. Louise Katalecek was christened by Louis Mains with his elegant waiter service. Glad to see Mr. and Mrs. Bednar, and hope their son comes and helps us with the cleanup day. Thanks for the table tips I yeceived at the talent contest; it should go a long way to pay off the lodge ,debt. Mrs. Springer read the brown enchwe information to her husband and got T',1-, ther Machann's approval. Ira the strong boy, is getting in ,:Nape for the clean-up day August 1 n Kruse distributed over one hundred donation books to the rnernber 4 at the District Talent Contest.

Annie Vala, as usual, spent long hours in the kitchen.

Be sure and come to our dance this coming Saturday, August 15th, and don't forget the NEW LODGE SITE PARK IMPROVEMENT DAY on Sunday, August 23rd.

BUNCO CLUB, FORT WORTH Dear Members of Bunco Club: This is to remind you; that we will hold our annual picnic at our airconditioned hall instead of the Tirk farm because of the hot weather; so, there will be no meeting this month.

The picnic will start at 10 a.m., with a noon meal served in our cool hall. If you bring guests, bring an extra dish.

Entertainment will follow.

Our July meeting was a memorable one. One of the birthday celebrants got a surprise party from her family and we all shared in the fun and eats.

She was Mrs. Anna Korteff whose lovely daughters and loving husband put on a real treat of delicious barbecue and a large keg of beer. A huge birthday cake was presented her, as well as flowers and individual gifts.

It was a very happy occasion. Besides Mrs. Korteff, Mrs. Kadlecek, Mrs. Steinman and Mrs. Mason had birthdays in July.

We had a nice list of guests also: Mrs. Mika, Mrs. Joe Becan, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Janicek and Mrs. Ruth Musil.

President Mary Renfro announced the passing of Mr. Cyril Pokladnik Sr., who with. his large and fine family were well known and liked in Fort Worth. We extend our condolences to the bereaved family.

Our member, Mrs. Pruitt, lost a brother, Mr. Bartosh, that same week.

To her and the family goes our sincere sympathy.

We are all looking forward to cooler weather when we can again venture

away from our coolers to enjoy the fellowship at our Bunco.

The quilt we were to give away at our June meeting will be given at our August picnic. This quilt was to get us a new stove for our hall; our old one wants to "retire."

So in spite of hot weather, grasshoppers, and summer colds, do come to our picnic at the Sokol Hall, on August 16 for a day of good eats and ine fellowship.

Be expecting you!

Fraternally yours, Anna Hosek, Secretary-Reporter Membership Drive Lodge No. 88 1000 in 100 LODGE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Friends, Our meeting was well attended again but I do not mean by this that there was not room for more. Brother Morris stated in his editorial several weeks ago that halls that are not air-con,ditioned and modern do not attract members to come to meetings. Our hall is air-conditioned and yet we get the same members to come to our meetings who used to come to the old building which was not air-conditioned. So, Bro. Morris, I do not think that air-conditioners have anything to do with attracting people to meetings; but there are people who just do not like to attend meetings. Why, I don't know. I like to go because to me a meeting is like a visit with friends whom I never visit. We miss each other if we don't get to see each other for more than a month. Why don't more of you come and enjoy our company?

The Pledge of Allegiance was given to the flag. Sister Haisler read the minutes which were approved as read.

She read the correspondence and action was taken on whatever needed acting on. We voted to buy a ten dollar ad in the Houston Lodge 88 brochure.

Brother Jerry and Sister Dorothy Vitek and their children were visitors from. Lodge No. 24. We hope that you enjoyed the meeting. Come again.

Officers gave their reports. President F. E. Hejl Jr., gave an annual report.

New members admitted into our lodge were: Diane Skrabanek, Rebecca Jean Coufal, Ray Anthony Dubcak, all into the juvenile department. We welcome you into our lodge.

20 Words of thanks are due the following members for donating a day's work on Saturday, July 25, Brothers Joe Hejny, Edwin Chlapek, Joe Divis, Jerry Mikulas, C. F. Motl, F. E. Hejl, and Frank Mikeska. (These brothers worked all day). The following brothers came in the afternoon, Anton Will Sodek, John Hruska, Willie F,efcik, Edwin Joe Pechal, and Donald Pechal. ,Eisters who cooked dinner are: Theresa Chlapek, Dorothy Pechal, and myself. We wish to thank all of these members and we hope that next time more of you will come. It is easy for some of you to watch us work while you wait until it is all done; then you take the honor of being one of the members. Some are not very willing to help but when it comes to favors, they are always the ones to ask for them, free this and free that. How far would we get?

We wish to extend special thanks and appreciation to Brother Joe and Sister Vlasta and Anna Rose Divis for painting the outside bar house and the barbecue house. We offered to pay $40 to anyone who would paint these houses.

The Diyises painted both houses as a donation. They also fixed the bar house around the bottom, so their donation amounts, to $45. We thank the Divises.

Frank Klinkovsky donated all the paint for these buildings. If we had a few more members like these we would have an easier time doing things.

We alp wish to thank Brother L. J. Motl for „ lending us his concrete Mixer. Without it we would have to get ready mixed concrete which would be much more expensive. Brother Motl did not charge anything. Thank you, Brother Motl.

I suppose Brother Hejny did not work as hard as he did that Saturday He was just red as fire. We were afraid he would be sick but we haven't heard anything so I guess he was all right — but sore. Thanks, Brother Hejny. I think you boosted the other workers.

Discussion and plans were made for our coming picnic.

The chairmen of the various departments will be: Bar (Inside) — Johnnie L. Vanicek Bar (Outside) — Jerry Pecha, Kitchen — BrOther Robert and Sister Mary Haisler Entertainment — Frank Klinkovsky Parking — Joe Divis Grounds — Frank Hejl, L. J. Mal, Anton Motl Tickets — Anton Motl Floor — Will Sodek

LODGE NO. 14, DRENHAlirl

Dear Brothers and :Eister'.;: The meeting of Lodge Verdi No. 14 was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Kamas last Sunday afternoon, with, a nice attendance. All officers were present. Pledge of Allegiance was given by Brother Larry Huebner and Brother Edward Vavra who was a delegate to the convention held in Waco, gave a nice report. There was no old busine's.

The organizer's report from Brother Vavra was that a new member was welcomed into the local lodge. Her name is Nancy Mae Adamek, 10-month-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Adamek. Her mother, and two sisters, Linda Faye, and Lois Ann, are also members of our lodge. I am sure we need to convince their father to join, too.

There were two door prizes given by this reporter. Mr. Amos Adamek, and Mrs. Magdalene Lisy were the lucky winners. A discussion was held regarding a membership barbecue, Which was planned for the sixth of

,

September, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Huebner, on their picnic grounds, Pork and mutton will be barbecued, and the sisters are to bring the pastry as usual. I am sure every one will enjoy this nice otting.

As for the weather, it is still dry here. We've had only light showers and no soaking rain for months. Everything is suffering for a good soaking rain.

We v,ient to the Kai-alas family renoon. at Seaton Star Hall and really enjoyed everything in their new beau-Wu], cool and convenient; ball. Everything was handy and everyone really had a nice time. Brother Frank Spanhel, the president of the reunion, presided. It was voted to have the reunion in 1965 in the NelsonYille SPJST Hall, and Tom Ikamas and J. D. Kamas are the new officers. So hope all of next ou will remember this date year and make plans to come.

We brought our sister-in-law, Annie Karnes of Fort Worth to visit us, end we are enjoying her stay. We hove taken her around to visit with her relatives while here.

I enjoy letters in the Vestniir from our reporters and wish more of you would write. y

— LODGE NO, 84, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: Time seems to be getting away almost too fast. Here it is time to announce our next monthly meeting this coining Sunday, August the 16th at 4 p.m., and I haven't even had a chance to write a note of thanks to all the members who attended our last monthly meeting. We had a very nice attendance and for this you can be sure we are grateful, and do try to come out again. We do enjoy Seeing new faces in the meetings as well as the usual froup.

After the usual business matters the Mother Lodge had the honor of presenting trophies to two of the little members, who so graciously represented the lodge at our last district meeting as Duke and Duchess. Our King and Queen, Brother Johnny Pokladnik and Sister Linda Laza also did a great job of representing the lodge. However, the trophies were presented to little Gary Pokladnik and Dianne Baleja, and it was a great pleasure to see the surprise and pride in their faces.

After the meeting a delicious supper was served by Sister Annie Steiner which, without a doubt, everyone en-

23 joyed.

The following Sunday, July 26, our lodge sponsored a picnic at Vickery Park for all the members and their families and friends.

It was so heart warming to see so many members come out, even some whom we haven't seen around for quite some time, the attendance was great and you can be sure everyone had a wonderful time, from the very young to many of the senior members.

There was quite a bit of activity going on, such as domino games, hor..e shoe pitching, base ball games,- and various other things.

The youth and teen group felt as though Santa Claus himself walked up in the form of our Youth and Teen Leaders Sister Bessie Petr and Sister Carlyn Ondrusek who were handing out many free tickets, also sponsored by the lodge, for the various rides that are available at the amusement park.

Some of the groups, adults and youth, went in swimming. There was plenty of food and drink at very reasonable prices to keep all very happy.

Everyone, before departing, suggested we make this an annual affair and since the turn-out was so wonderful, there are plans to repeat this next year. So those of you who couldn't make it and want to know more about it ask any member that was there; you can bet they will assure you they really had a great time.

May I remind you again of the meeting this coming Sunday at 4 pm. and be sure to stay for our usual social and family fun night. A supper will be served by Brother Willie Sister Carolyn Ondrusek so you don't need to rush home to eat because there will be plenty of good food at all times.

So let's all come out again and attend the meeting. You members have done so well in the past, so let's just keep up the good work. It's a real pleasure to see such nice attendFraternally, ance.

Our first project is that when anybody gossips during the meeting he is asked to put a nickel in the jar. We also have a little working project.

28 Men-ibership Drive Lodge No. 88 1000 in 100 FLATHEAD CATFISH SPAWN IN HATCHERY San Antonio — Fish Hatchery Superintendent D. C. Harper's favorite pair of flathead catfish, Pedro and Rosita, have spawned in the Parks and Wildlife Department's Medina Fish Hatchery for the seventh consecutive year.

Harper exyilained the rearing Of flathead catfish in state fish hatcheries is in an experimental stage and very few if any will be available for stocking except in controlled tests by aquatic biologists.

Several other state hatcheries are sharing the assignment. Currently biologists are concerned more with the ,food for inch-long fish than with the actual spawning. Flatheads insist on live food and such nourishment for this size fish is hard to come by.

Biologists believe this preference for live food makes the flathead a valuable predator fish for farm and ranch ponds if they can be produced in quantity by hatcheries.

LIMESTONE BAITS PARK FISH HOLE Tyler — More than 100 tons of agricultural limestone were distributed in the newly restored bed of Tyler :State Park Lake as an aid to fish production.

Limestone is recognized as being a buffer in acid waters, and aids in implementing fertilizers already in the water.

According 0 Fisheries Supervisor Charles Gray of Tyler, it will also promote the growth of plankton, or microscopic organisms, in the water to make available more ifood ifor the hatchery fish recently stocked in the lake.

RURAL TEXAS Although most Texans are aware that the population of their state has become predominantly urban, it would be a great mistake to write off the importance of the remaining rural residents. Vivid reminder is found in "A Decade of Population Change in Texas," a booklet just released by Texas A. and M. University, Dr. R. L. Skrabanek is the author.

The 2,393,666 Texans listed in the 1960 census as living in rural areas represent a 30 per cent decline since 1940. But they are still more than the total population in each of 25 other

states.

Sixth in 1960 census population count , Texas has risen since to fourth in total population among the states, according to 1963 Census Bureau estimates. In rural, population, only four states outrank Texas, and more than half of this state's counties — 147 out of 254 — have more rural residents than urban. Seventy-one of these counties in 1960 had entire populations officially classified as rural.

Widespread rural residence, as well as the 6 billion. dollars in business created yearly by agriculture and associated enterprises, vastly influences economic life in every corner of the state. Basic to all life, rural activity must be strong and sound for the wellbeing of every Texan, no matter where he lives or what he does.

Consumers, producers, and processors, the scientists say, could benefit from these findings. Processed products now absorb about 10 per cent of the nation's output of eggs.

Cotton SituatiOn Carryover of cotton on August 1 was the highest since the all-time record Was set in 1956. It increased during the 1963-64 crop year despite larger disappearance than a year earlier due to the large 1963 crop.
