PODPORA LIDSKOST BRATRSTVI 7. RIJNA (OCTOBER) 1964

OD REDAKCNIHO STOLKU VOLENI RADOViCH tREDNIRt S nistupem podzhnin doby, nastava zase eas, kdy nage mistni tady budou volit sve tadove iitedniky na pti gti rok.

Pro tady, ktere mivaji sve schtize etvrtletne to znamena, ze se budou volit tito fitednici nyni v tijnu, line lady zase nemivaji schfize v prosinci a konaji tyto volby v listopadu. At' je to uZ v v listopadu anebo i v prosinci, s en vane je to vec o ktere lna kaZdy e ptemYg let. Neni to doba, kdy maji elenove sedet doma a lehkomyslne se zbaviti zodpovednosti 'Wait° voleb, kde easto se klade tato dillelita odpovednost na jen par elent.

Mnozi eleni podlehnou netednosti a nechaji tuto praci a zastavani tern stejnYm pracovnikilm rok po roku i kdy ten ntednik by se chtel jrZ po deli dobe vzdat jeho fitadu a se rad rozdelil tou praci a zodpovednosti s nekkm jinYrn. Nedovoli. KaZdy Men si musi uvedomit, mot, ba i cela existence fadu, zalez na fitednicich, jaci jsou a jak dfisledne pracuji. DobrY ptedseda, naptiklad, bystry a schopen spolupraci s jinYmi, svedomitST, a kterY dokae ukazat cestu k pokroku, mute mrtvy tad postavit na nohy a ho tpine DobrY fitednik se nevyhYba prate, neboji se nieeho. Kakdou praci povaZuje jako vYzvu k dosakeni novYch cira. KaZda ptilelitost je jemu plodne pole na prosaZeni novYch rnyg lenek a napadii Kde bylo drive jen zklamani a oviadala beznadejnost, dobrY

Ant. Klagtersky: itiJEN Na stare zdi pia listi revy plane, jak aerstva krev by kanula to dole; kde v leta dnech jsme chodivali spolu, jsou listim 2lutkm testy zapadane.

Kol prazdnYch hnizd let vetrit ostrk vane, klid hrobtix, ticho ptaeich bez aveholt, a nikde du ge v sade, lesnim dolu, jak elovek lekal krasy by se zdrave.

Kde jsou ty v g ecky deli, milujici, jiZ chodi tu, Usmev na sve lici, kdyZ zvueel sad a v kvet se pooal ztracet?

Oh, je tak hotko, dati kvet svnj bilsr• i sladke plody, mizy sve a sily a opu g ten pak, sam tak vykrvacet!

nik sklidi fispech a nacieje k lepgi budoucnosti i kdy fad byl nekolik let v nesnazich. TakavY fitednik nikdy nepodleha poraenictvim, smele a odvane vykonavo, svoji funkci s pevnou viii a rozumave. Zdivhnouti nice ze zoufalstvi neni znak clabreho vidce.

Nekteti se nevzdaji, druzi zas obejdou a vyhnou se dlouhou cestou, Nekteti se push do prate a odstrani ve gkere ptekaky, druzi zas vec odroei a nic se neudeld. Nasledek je,Ze eleni strati zajem, nastane vice neteenosti a tim zaeind ten slavnY konee tadu.

Kandy Glen phi volbach ma se sebe zeptat: co ten fitednik jiZ pro na g tad udelal, aby prospival a rasa a co mini vykonat v nastavajici Moe, aby fad jegte vetgi pokrok udelal? Dale, jakYm zpilsobem mini pfilakat vice novYch elenfi? Kdy naposledy patadal fad ne-

jaky podnik, aby bliZgi obecenstvo veal° o torn, h vabee existujeme jako soudistka SPJST? Mohlo by laYt jegte nekolik takovYch otazek, jimiZ by den mohl jak se path zjistit zdali se ten anebo ten iftednik hodi do toho neb moll° fitadu. Jedne. smernice by mela, ale platit v kaZdem ptipacie a to je, ze ZadnY Glen by se nemel volit do jake hokoliv fitadu, kdy otevtene prohlasi, ze zajem o ten Mad vwbec nema. Kdy se takovY fitednik ptece dostane do ntadu, ma, vklycky dobre psychologicke vychodisko v pfipade nesnazi: "ja jsem vim fikal, ze jsem nechtel bYti fitednikem a vyste mne do toho nutill!" TeZko je na to odpovedet.

• • Tedy, bratfi a sestry, uvaujte o torn velice opatrne, ponevadZ budouenost vageho fadu, a Urn, i eel& jednoty, saleZi do velke miry, na fifednicich, jak vyggich tak i mistnich. moZno, hled'te, aby budouci fitednik yam neco povedel o_ jeh,o myglenkach, jak mini oZivit vice mene mrtvy tad, a jakYm zpilsobem by se mohi scat Vag tad einnou soueastku na gi jednoty.

Pravda je, ze "plat" neni nijak vYnosnY — finanene. (I kdyZ se procent na vraceni tadum zvYgil na 6 procent).

Jsou, ale fine poSitky z takove prate.

Musime se starat o budoucnost nagich deti, upozornit na vgechny pkekaly v jejich Zivotech a jak se maji ne j gi ptipravit na tou Zivotni drab 1, po-len ktere budou muset vsichni putavat.

—HERALD--

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

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK ELECTION TIME AGAIN

THE LAW OF GROWTH

Once again, the time of the year is approaching when our SPJST local lodges will soon have to attend to the matter of electing lodge officers for the coming year. For those lodges that meet quarterly, this matter is usually taken care of in October. Still, other lodges do not conduct meetings in December and elect their new officers in November. In any case, this is not a matter to be taken lightly. Much consideration should be given this important lodge function. When those elections are held it is not a time for lodge members to "sit it out" at home, and let the task fall to just a few members.

The smallest and the greatest things in Nature obey the "Law of Growth."

A tree grows upward, singing out its sermon of growth — an inspiration for all mankind. And, when the fruit ripens, it drops to the earth and ceases to grow. A little later, the leaves fall.

Because Nature herself knows no pause, she attaches a penalty on all inactivity. She senses that standstill minds and standstill muscles fast become flabby. Difficulty and strife in the soil in which strength and character best flourish. A baby chick must break its way through the shell. This pecking away develops strength needed for survival and growth in the world ahead.

Destroy a spider's web as often as you will — he'll start at once to build another — stronger than before! Work and growth are twins. We are the sum of all our endeavors. This message is inscribed on sod and stars alike — it is written all along the highway of life: Do your job — help your community grow, and you shall have the power and leadership in your city.

Too many members are content to simply let the burden of office fall on the same workers, year after year, even when those officers do not want to job and would like to pass on the work and responsibility to someone else. Much depends on the type of officers a lodge has; in fact, just about everything — the very life of a lodge — depends on it. A good group of officers, hardworking, conscientious, and who show DIRECTION, can get a lodge on its feet. They shirk nothing. They fear nothing. Responsibility becomes a challenge. Good Officers reap hope from what was previously despaAr. They give cause for a brighter future in the lodge, even though the lodge may be "down on its feet." They never admit defeat. Boldness, backed by sound reasoning and hard facts are characterlistics of good leaders. To throw up one's hands in despair and hopelessness is hardly the mark of an effective leader. Many will face up to challenges; others will walk a mile to avoid them. Some will draft plans to combat "lodge fatigue;" others will postpone action. Result: more and

Czech

more indifference, less and less interest on the part of the members, and the beginning of the end. o Two questions that each member should ask himself and then honestly seek the answers to are: 1) What HAS he done to make our lodge a better one, and 2) what WILL he do to make it still better? To go on: what plans were formulated to attract more people (and members) to our lodge unit and its activities? When was the last time the lodge, under the leadership of its cflicers, put on a function that attracted the attention of the entire community? Has there been any con-

certed effort to let the community know that you even exist? Many more such criteria could serve as a barometer for measuring the effectiveness of lodge officers. One rule of thumb should be observed, if at all possible: never elect a man to a job that swears he doesn't want it. Such an officer always has a psychological "out" in the event the going gets rough. told you all I didn't want the job. You all forced it on me!"

Brothers and sisters, let us then weligh these matters cardfulty and vote wisely and judiciously when the elections come around. See if you can extract some sort of statement or commitment from a prospective officer as to just what he intends cloing about making your lodge a more effective unit of the whole SPJST. True, the "pay" is nothing special; he is not going to get rich from it — financially.

There are, however, other rewards to be reaped from an active lodge unit.

Think of the youngsters who will follow. Think of all the potential dangers facing a young man or lady embarking on life's pathway, and see if there aren't several ways in which he or she can benefit from an active SPJST lodge. In these days and times, if you can successfully keep your child out of serious trouble before he or she severs family ties, then you can justifiably regard yourself as being both lucky and a successful parent. There are so many chances to go wrong. Leading a wholesome and active youn g life in one of our SPJST Youth Clubs is an excellent diversion from the many ills that plague our youth today. Anything that we can do to keep them out of serious trouble and out of the reformatories, will be an important contribution to our society. Our Attorney General of Texas tells us so; our Governor

Day At The State Fair Oct. 11th

Wednesday, October 7, 1964 tells us so. So far, we've done quite well. Our efforts will have to be doubled in the future to keep our youth with us. We must do it. KeeP this in mind too, when voting for lodge officers; what plans are there for the young folks? Our future growth and successes depend on it.

Long-range planning for our growth involves our youth, that's true. Of immediate concern to the Order, here now, today, is the securing of new members for the SPJST, both juvenile and adult. This is a constant and continuing process. It must never cease.

It may slow down and take a dip now and then, but in general, it must take ptiace constantly. We have a nice corps of solicitors (organizers), backed by our seven district organizers. Their success, to a large extent, must depend on the help and cooperation they get from the rank and file membership.

They can't be everywhere; they can't know of everyone who might be a good prospect for SPJST membership. Consequently, WE, THE MEMBERS, can help by letting our local organizer know of a likely prospect. Call him (or her), or drop them a note, giving the name and other details of the prospect. You IA be doing them a favor.

If you do not know who any of the local organizers are (your lodge president should be able to tell you), then contact your district organizer, who will see to it that the prospect is contacted. The names of the seven district organizers are listed in almost every issue of the Vestnik, page 2. Take it upon yourself to secure a new member every month, or every two months.

Everyone is, in a sense, a solicitor, all. a part of the vast and far-flung machinery used to keep our membership campaign alive and going full steam.

If we all consider this a part of our "mission," the membership drive will be a year-'round success. Have you referred your one prospect this month?

14 SOKOL COMMEMORATIVE STAMP IN 1965 Postmaster General John A. Gronouski announded that he approved for issuance in 1965 a commemorative stamp for Physical Fitness honoring the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the sokol Movement in America.

President John F. Kennedy initiated the Physical Fitness program and is advocated by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The first Sokol Unit was founded in St. Louis, Mo., on February 14, 1865 by a group of Czechs and spread later on.

From this beginning the Sokol ranks grew to, hundreds of Units and a membership of 250,000. They now operate from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Canadian border to the Rio Grande. Sokol members are of Czech, Slovak, Polish, and Yugoslav descent.

Sokols in America have a record of unbroken training in physical fitness for a century. This work was community cooperation of a high order and included the assistance of fraternal, cultural and educational organizations.

The Sokol founders conceived the idea that physical education might provide an outlet for hitherto untouched and unrealized national energies.

But bodily exercise was not the ultimate goal to them. Mechanical drill and perfection in set exercises was less important to them than the balanced integration of all the capacities of the human mechanism.

The Sokol system of gymnastics, calisthentics, marching, games and athletics is a scientifically designed one to take into consideration the needs and exercise of every part of the body, internal as well as external. It is the result of the combined thinking and experience of thousands of dedicated, qualified medical men, physiclogists and outstanding instructors. This applies to all age groups, tots, children, juniors as well as men and women. Delinquency is unknown.

Mr. Kriz of Sokol New York, was the only American to ever win a gold medal in Olympic gymnastic competitions.

Sokols have a record of less than 1 per cent rejection when entering Armed Forces.

In addition to raising the level of health and general wellbeing throughout the land, the Sokol Movement is a School of democracy, preparing its members for participation in every phase of life, or in more trying times in the struggles for preserving and maintaining national liberties

V ESTNIK Member organizations of the Sokol Centennial Commemorative Stamp Committee are: American Sokol Organization, Cicero, Ill., Federation of Workingmens Sokol, New York, N.Y., Polish Falcons of America, Pittsburgh, Pa., Slovak Gymnastic Union, Perth Amboy, N.J., The Slovak Catholic Sokol, Passaic, New Jersey, and the Union of Cze:th Catholic .Sokols, Chicago, 1U. The Chairman of the Committee is James L. Cihak, 405 - 50th Place, Western Springs, Ill. The Committee headquarters are located at 5611 W. Cermak Road, Cicero, Ill. Full details with regard to the date and place of first day sale have not been determined but will be announced soon.

The highlight of the Sokol Centennial year will be the competitions and Exhibitions of Physical Fitness in Chicago from June 24-27, 1965.

SPJST--CZECHOSLOVAK DAY PROCLAIMED Governor John F. Connally has issued a proclamation declaring Sunday, October 11, 1364, as Czechoslovak Day throughout the State of Texas.

A special observation will be held at the State Fair of Texas, with the main program starting in the Coliseum at 11 a.m. The program will consist of music, folk dancing, singing and gymnastics.

The pastry contest and the showing of national costumes will be a part of a social in the Bandshell in the afternoon. The social starts at 1:30 p.m.

The full text of the proclamation of the Governor reads as foltlows: "Czechoslovak Day at the State Fair of Texas is traditionally celebrated to highlight the contributions of Czechoslovak immigrants to the development of our nation.

Beginning with the year 1840 and continuing into this century, there was a continuous stream of Czechoslovak Immigrants flowing ;from Galveston into Central and South Texas. They built many fine farming communities and as the urbanization of Texas progressed, large numbers moved into all major cities, where they have constituted a hard-working and successful element of these communities.

Texans of Czechoslovak descent have maintained a number of fraternal, social, and gymnastic organizations throughout the State with particular emphasis on youth.

It is fitting that the people of Texas recognize the achievements of these outstanding citizens. Therefore, I, as Governor of Texas, do hereby desig-

Wednesday, October 7, 1964 nate Sunday, October 11, 1964, as Czechoslovak Day in Texas.

In official recognition of Czechostlovak Day, I hereby affix my signature on the 22nd day of September, 1964. /s/ John Connally, Governor of Texas" (Official State Seal) -SPJSTLET'S CATHER IN DALLAS

ON OCTOBER 11th!

An invitation to the half-million Texans of Czechoslovak descent and native Czechs now living in the state to attend the annual American-Czech Festival Sunday, Oct. 11, at the 1964 State Fair of Texas has been issued by the general chairman for the event, M. a. Hatlouzka of Dallas.

Since 1928 the Czechs hase held a special day at the State Fair. It is one of many special days scheduled for this year's state fair which runs Oct. 10 through 25.

A program of Czech songs and dances, with participants in native costumes will be presented throughout the day-long celebration culminating with a special float in the nightly "Parade of Lights and Flowers" at 6:45 p.m. through the fairgrounds.

Thirty senior citizens of Czech descent from Chicago on a vacation tour will be in Dallas for the festival.

John G. Bubak is program chairman for the festival. In 1930 Mr. Bubak organized the American Czechoslovak Society to promote the interests of Czechs in the U. S. and Texas and to stimulate interest in Czech Day at the State Fair.

Czechs have played a leading role in the history of the nation and state.

William Paca of Czech descent, as a representative from Maryland, signed the U. S. Declaration of Independence.

When General Sam Houston ordered the charge at the Battle of San Jacinto one of the fifers playing "Come To The BoWer" was a Czech, Frederick Limsky.

Dominik Naplava who came to Texas in 1914 from his native village of Moravia where he was born in 1892, became the first Texas boy to be killed in action in World War I. Soon after his arrival in the state he took out his first citizenship papers, and tried to enlist in the U. S. Army before the U.S. entered the war. .He was rejected because the term of residence for permanent citizenship had not been fulfilled. Failing in his effort to serve the country of his adoption he went to Winnepeg, Canada, in 1917 and en-

Wednesday, October 7, 19644 listed in the Canadian Army. He was killed on Nov. 12, 1917.

Anton J. Cermak was the mayor of Chicago when he was kilted as he rode beside Franklin D. Roosevelt in an attem pt on the president's life in Miami, Fla. In Dallas the city attorney, Henry P. Kucera, is of Czech descent. One of the outstanding early judges in the state was Judge Augustin Haidusek of La Grange.

However it is generally conceded by historians that the first Czech in Texas was Anthony M. Dignowity who rode, into San Antonio de Bexar in 1833 from Natchez, Miss. He stayed briefly, returning to San Antonio in 1846 after he had studied medicine and become Dr. Dignowity.

Most of the pioneer Czechs coming to Texas in the 19th century arrived in Galveston by small sailing boats, about a hundred feet tong. Sometimes the voyage took fourteen weeks.

Many of these immigrants followed about the same pattern of living. They made the trip to Houston from Galveston by boat, then by ox-drawn wagons into the interior. Usually they camped under trees for temporary shelter until they could build a log cabin. As soon as possible, most purchased farm land.

Many brought along seeds from their native home.

Soon after the establishment of a community, the immigrants started salad's for their children in the days before public education. Many children went on to colleges and universities and a few returned to Europe to finish their studies.

Descendants of these Czech pioneers who sought refuge from political, religious and class oppression are now bank,:rs, teachers, doctors, writers, scientists, artists, musicians, farmers, skilled workers and business men, prominent in their, communities and taking a leading role in civic and cultural' affairs.

Come and be a part of this wonderful Texas-Czech tradition! See you at the State Fair Grounds, October 11th.

Those who are wondering about Bro. L. L. Cox, he is still the same and is stilt at home. I am sure that all cards and letters will be appreciated, although we know that he is in everyone's prayers.

We in the lodge were very sorry to hear of Bro. Charlie Cerny's death, as I am sure all of you who knew him, were, but especially all in our lodge since he was the one who started our lodge and helped us do so many things even after he moved. Mrs. Cerny has our deepest sympathy and prayers.

Fraternally yours, Fred J. Schmidt SPJST---

LODGE. PRINIORI NO. 143, INEZ Dear Sisters and Brothers: Due to the fact that our fall district meeting is being held on Sunday, Ocober 18, which happens to be the regular meeting date of our lodge, the officers of our lodge decided to have our regular meeting one week earlier.

Therefore, you are being advised that our next regular meeting will be held

F

15

on Sunday, October 11, beginning at 2 p.m. SO don't forget that the meeting is being held one week earlier, which is October 11.

Our officers want to attend the fall district meeting at New Talton on Sunday, October 18, and we are asking our members to try to attend the district meeting. I promise you that if you attend this meeting you will enjoy every bit of it.

I would like to mention that those of us who attended the State Talent Contest at Holland, Texas, on Sunday, September 20, certainly enjoyed the performances by our talented youth.

Our youth performed so well that you do not see or hear anything better on your TV programs.

As for the queen contest, each district was represented. There you saw seven beautiful and talented young ladies with their escorts. They were as !lovely and pretty as could be; their performance was very good. I am sure that I vouch for the whole assembly by saying, "we are proud of you."

Our youth have shown their talent and ability; all we have to do is back them up. If we do this they will go places, and put our SPJST on top.

In conclusion, I want to thank the Holland lodge for their kind hospitality. Their food was delicious. I enjoyed being there.

Fraternally yours, Leo Krause, Jr., Organizer, Dist. 6 -SPJSTLODGE NO. 87, TEMPLE

DISTRICT VII Dear Fellow Members, I would like to thank al the good people in Holland for their warm hospitality. Everyone was so kind and friendly that I would love to • return again.

-SPJST-LODGE JARO NO. 130, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: I was not present at our last lodge meeting because I had to take Mrs. Schefcak to St. Paul Hospital on that day. However, Sister Deanna Houpy sent me the minutes of that meeting as follows: The meeting convened at 2:15 p.m., with 17 members present. Sister Antonie •Horak suggested that we sign 100 postcards, indicating our support of the issuance of the Sokol Commemmorative stamp in 1965, to be issued on the 100th anniversary of the American Sokol Organization. (A few days ago, Postmaster General Gronouski approved the issuance of the Sokol stamp. — Editor).

Bro. Stanley Vrla announced that our second dance of the year will be held on November '7th, with music by the Polka Peppermints. It was also decided to send invitations to the Beseda dancers in Fort Worth, Ennis, and all participants in the Czech

K

Beseda dance at the State Fair on October llth, the invitatoin being to the joint Beseda rehearsals in the Dallas Sokol hall on October 4th. Music for the Beseda will be furnished by a large Czech band. All participants who have anything resembling a Czech costume are urged to wear it on Czech Day, October 11th.

Our lodge had a good many of the members on the sick list during September. First, Bro. Stanley Patak was ill with two operations, then my wife, Mary; Sister Irene Hosek had an operation; Bro. Milos Halouzka, chairman of the Czech Festival for this year, became rather seriously ill, and on the second day of his confinement, Mrs. Halouzka was brought to the hospital, where she gave birth to a baby girl; Sisters Karla Kraft and Dolfie Stransky were both ill, as was Mrs. Malik. Mrs. Stransky has moved to the SPJST Rest Home in Taylor. She will be missed in the Dallas area. She likes it in Taylor.

Brothers and sisters+ from all over Texas, don't, forget to come to the Czech Festival at the State Fair, Sunday, October 11th. Good and fast cars, and excellent highways now make it easier for all Czech-Texans to come to Dallas, so that distance and time is no longer •the factor that it used to be.

We owe it to the many hard-working people who have put in so much work on the festival this year. It is hard to imagine just how much hard work, time, and energy goes into such a mammoth undertaking. Our people from all over the State of Texas should support this effort. This day belongs to US ALL. Certainly, if people from as far away as Corpus Christi and even Chicago take the time to travel to Dallas, then our people from much nearer can attend. We hear much about our heritage, our customs, and way of life ebbing away here in Texas and in America. This is your chance to not only give lip service to this matter, but coming, supporting, and seeing for yourselves just what we are trying to do to keep all these things alive.

There will be dancers, musicians, Sokols, singers, plus many other fea tures. Let's show the world that we Czechs in Texas are still very much alive and kicking! See you October 11th.

Fraternally, Hugo Schefcak, Reporter

LODGE NO. 165, MOULTON Dear Readers and Writers: Here we are enjoying some fine cool weather, the real fall season, with enough showers each day. Many a farmers wishes the weather would clear up and stay dry for at least a month.

There have been too many picnics in Our little town of Moulton and towns nearby. The Jamboree we had here in Moulton turned out just fine. There were numerous ;floats, one prettier than the others. Last Thursday our town held a "Trade Day"; many people always come on this day. Those who are lucky are glad; others don't approve of it. For my part it makes me glad to see others Win. Our meeting was held the 3rd Sunday in September. Not many were present but the attendance was fair.

The door prize went to Bro. Emil Krejci. The VFW held their membership drive dinner so many of our members were there. I hope next time they will come to our meeting.

Just a friendly reminder to you members: our next meeting will be held again on the third Sunday in October. The change again is because our American Legion will have an all-day picnic on the second Sunday in October, that is, the 11th. So you all come and enjoy the day with your friends and relatives. Don't forget the 3rd Sunday (Oct. 18) is our next meeting.

When the Emil Bartos Band was playing people enjoyed his fine selections of ;dance music. Now after his death the band has been taken over by one of his boys, Johnny Holub of iSchulenburg.

Mr.. and Mrs. Adolf Migl the wellknown orchestra leader, lost their sonin-law, Victor Dobecka of Sheridan, Texas, father of four children, who was killed by lightning as he worked in his garden near his home. My sympathy to his family.

Our Brother and Sister Jerome Vasek are again grandparents for the second time. Their daughter Lionita and Joe Panus are rejoicing upon the arrival of a fine healthy baby boy, born in Wagner Hospital and was named Paul Anthony. He is welcomed by his brother, Mark Joseph. Congratulations to all the happy parents and grandparents; also Mr. and Mrs. Frank Panus of Shiner, Texas. Leonita is our lodge member and we hope the youngsters will also be in the future.

Another fine lady has been called to her heavenly home. She was Mrs.

LODGE NO. 4, HALLETTSVILLE Dear Sisters, Brothers and Readers: I will write a few lines to the Vestnik. I missed August since it was a' busy month for me.

Bell County got its share of rain, and at this time it looks as though Hilda will send us some more.

So many of us need to get back into the fields before the rest of the crop rots. It will be like that song, "When the cotton bolls get rotten; you can't pick very much cotton." We have a lot better grass than we had in the spring. It's fine for the cattle; at least they're happy.

Well, I must announce that we will have a night meeting again on Saturday night, Oct. 10th, at 7:30. The reason is that the "Cesky Den," or "Czech Day" will be on Sunday and some of our members would like to go to Dallas to spend the day.. I don't have much to say at this time and. I am. rather late with my report anyway. A hello to all my readers until next time.

We will have some talent from other lodges to make this day a success. It will take a little effort from each one of us as we all know.

That's how the SPJST got where it is today, because everybody gave a little effort.

So come on out you kiddos, and show us what youth really stands for. There will be music in the evening and dancing at night. So be sure and bring a friend; you may find that they like it also.

Youth Section LODGE NO. 39, BRYAN W,he clack, Texas Dear Readers, How is everyone these wonderful days? I sure like this kind of weather.

It's been raining for three days here.

The grass sure is pretty and green.

Mother's flowers are really pretty.

They are blooming.

Aunt Albino.. and Uncle Ben went down to Damon to see Aunt Rosie.

They all went fishing to the gulf. We couldn't go because mother was going to the doctor and daddy had to work. Teddy works, too, but they caught riots of fish. Uncle Tom went with them and he gave us some fish.

I hope we can go next time.

Well, we will have our meeting again soon. I sure like to go to our meetings. We have lots of fun, but I sure wish some more young children would start coming to our meetings so we could play some games or play ball.

So, you all come to our meeting Oct. 11. We'd !love to have you.

Today in school we had lots of fun.

We all got wet as chickens. Boy! was our teacher mad when we came in. We didn't think it was fun at all when he got through talking to us. But he's so sweet when he gets mad; looks just like my mother.

I will close now. It's time for the bell to ring.

So bye and good luck to everyone.

Love, Kathy Manthei LODGE NO. 54, WEST Dear . Vestnik Readers, I will take time off to write a letter.

We are having a nice and cool autumn, and it has been raining.

We have lots on the sick list. Our youth leader, Mrs. Estelle Marek, was in the Biltsboro Clinic; Mr. Jerry Kocurek was at the G-rant-Buie Hospital in Hilkboro. They all returned home and are feeling fine; also my brother Jimmie missed a few days of school because of an earache, and a few are down with colds.

LODGE NO. 39, BRYAN Dear Readers, I just came from school and I am so hungry. Mother always has something ready for us to eat when we come from school. We eat and then we get our lessons. Most of the time Teddy and I go into the woods; it's so pretty out there. We mess around the, tank or go fishing. I am kinda tired of fish. We eat fish once or twice a week. I like to fish for them, but I don't like to eat them.

I just got through reading the Vestnig. I like to read all the letters in the paper and I do read all of them. So you all come on and write some more.

We write letters in school. My teacher likes my PletterS. She always grades them. I made a good report card. I have to so 'I can play football. I love the game. We go every Friday night to see the game because Teddy Wayne plays. He's my brother. He's doing real good in school. He had all "A's" on his card. That's why I want to be like my brothers: Ludy is my oldest brother.

He was always smart. He is in the Air Force now. I miss him so much. He was always good to me; everybody likes him. I have one sister. Her name is Kathy Jean. She is sweet at school, but she sure is mean at home. She makes me do things. I have to be good to her so she'll play football with we when we Come home.

I guess everyone got lots of rain. I am glad it rained so the grass can grow for our cows. I have one pig.

Daddy gave it to me. He is big.

I will close for now.

Nick Morris, Editor JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR RURAL YOUTH Few jobs exist in rural areas for youth. Today's students should take a realistic look at job opportunities available to them when planning careers, says Tatsy Reynolds, Extension Service specialist in family life education.

Teenage girls, in particular, will seldom find employment on the farm.

They must look to the small town or city for opportunities to earn a living.

They will need specialized training for these jobs, says Miss Reynolds.

"They also need counseling and understanding from parents, teachers and other adults if they are to face the situation realistically and prepare for the future," she says.

There are some jobs available to boys on farms — yet the ones which offer opportunities to earn a good living are few.

Boys with ambition to get ahead should understand what can and cannot be expected from rural job opportunities.

School counselors have some of this information, and they are always glad to share it. Others who can help rural youth take a realistic look at job opportunities are local Employment Security representatives and county agricultural and home demonstration agents.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIAlk—lE "I Wedge 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.

A typical jet airliner flying the 145minute trip from New York to Miami burns about 5,000 gallons of fuel.

Sometimes those who object to playing second fiddle shouldn't be in the orchestra at all.

Cultural Notes The American entry in the film was Franklin Shaffner's "The Best Man," starring Henry Fonda, and received prolonged and enthusiastic applause as the curtain fell. The American delegation was delighted at its reception, for, as Mr. Fonda told CTK a few days ago, they thought the picture was too specifically American to be appreciated by audiences abroad.

Francis Lederer, a member of the American delegation, and who is of Czech nationality, told the audience (in Czech) before the film was shown that it was a tremendous experience for him to be back after 32 years. "The love, intelligance and taste of the Czech people, the beauty of the C01.171tryside and the charm of Czech architecture were a revelation to me. After so many years away, I discovered them all over again."

"Love among the Animals," the French documentary film, was shown hors concours.

• • The CZechoslovak film "The Defendant" has been awarded the Crystal Globe, the first prize at the 14th International Film Festival at the West Bohemian spa of Karlovy Vary.

The special jury jrize went to the United States film "The Best Man," particularly for the performance of Henry Fonda in the leading role.

The two other main prizes went to the Soviet film "The Living and the Dead," for its moral values and the expression of confidence in human beings, and to the Hungarian film "Current," for its artistry and promise.

The prize for the best actress was awarded to Jeanne Moreau, the star of

Luis Bunuel's "Diary of a Chambermaid," and for the best actor to Wienczyslaw Glinsky, in the Polish film "Echo."

Special honorable mentions went to two young actors, Stefan Iordache, in the Rumanian film "The Stranger," and to Luis Ferrin, in the Spanish film "Spontaneous."

A press conference was held on July 18 by the American delegation, which presented "The Best Man," the American entry in the Festival competition.

The delegation was led by George C. Stevens, head of the film department of the United 'States Information Service, and included actors Henry Fonda, Cliff Robertson, and Francis Lederer, who attracted special attention because of his Czech origin and fluent

VASTNfIK Czech.

Fonda warmly praised the Czechoslovak film "Lemonade Joe," a satire on Westerns. He said he had never expected to see something like that at Karlovy Vary and that he was looking forward to the film being shown in New York. He was very much impressed with the organization of the Festival and with the serious approach to problems of fine art.

-SPJSTKARLOVY VARY FILM FESTIVAL SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDED The Open Forum at the 14th International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary ended on July 17 after four days of stimulating discussion on the theme: "Where are films in 1964 heading?" Speakers included Czechoslovak,

Wednesday, October 7, 19'64 Soviet. French, Swedish, Italian and Indian film makers.

Edouard Molinar, the young French director, said that in France, uppermost in the minds of producers were the commercial prospects of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; in other words, its box-office appeal.

"I envy you very much," he said, addressing the film people of the socialist countries. "Your problem is how to make a better film, and ours is how to live through it. For us, it is not what film we will make tomorrow, but Whether we will make it at all."

Paolo Taviani, the Italian director, said that the Open Forum was important in that it made possible the exchange of ideas on many of the problems in the film world.

Yards and Gardens ON THE LAWN With Larry Lawrence There's nothing softer than a mole's skin. There's nothing cuter than a baby skunk or more appealing than a racoon. But it takes a mighty broadminded nature lover to appreciate these nocturnal visitors after they've got through digging up a lawn.

How can we keep them away? I know of people who have fought a losing battle with them, for years. And yet the solution is astonishingly simple once you've found the motive. What is the attraction? What are they looking for? The answer is their favorite food — soil grubs.

Grubs are mostly the larvae of various beetles, including the Japanese variety. They live in the soil, usually a few inches below the surface. By getting rid of them we not only eliminate grub damage, but send the predator moles, skunks and raccoons on their way to dig elsewhere for food.

There are products on the market that can be spread on lawns in the same manner as fertilizer and will rid the ground of grubs.

—SPJST— A real estate advertisement caught my eye. "Living rooms in (a new development)," it said, "have wall-towall carpeting. API homes have lawns, shade trees, flowering shrubs."

Thus, you see, wall-to-wall carpeting on the inside and fence-to-fence grass on the outside have become comparaOle amenities. Together they make an appealing picture and I'll bet they sell lots of homes. An,d my only objection, if any, is a purely semantic one.

There are many people who already confuse a lawn with a carpet and I'm afraid this will increase the number.

You have a carpet — but you grow a lawn. There cautidn't be a greater difference between two things than that.

As you drive around you see a shocking number of shabby, neglected, rundown lawns and I'm sure quite a few of them got that way because their owners thought of them as carpets, forgetting that they use up their food supplies and literally starve.

"But remember" someone says, "that a lot of people don't have the time or money to spend on a lawn." And my answer to that is that a bag of Turf Builder costs only $4.95 and takes anyone only a half hour to apply — man. woman or child. Is that too much to pay for the health of the one thing

CALLS FOR CAREFUL PLANNING

By A. F. DeWerth Professor of Floriculture Texas A.&M. University Outdoor space must be organized and developed to suit the needs of modern living. Trees are not only an itegral part of such space organization but are the most important structural elements in solving landscape plant-, ing problems. Selection of which tree to use and where to place it is, there fore, a great responsibility.

Trees have distinctive growth habits which always make them accent points. Their proper placement is the most permanent operation performed in any landscape development.

In addition to specific individual and distinctive characteristics, each tree has a definite size, form, texture, color and an ever-changing aesthetic effect from season to season and from youth to maturity in each of these features.

Office for Mental Health planning has

revealed some startling statistics, she says.

There were 10,809 midwife deliVeries made in Texas in 1962, the study reveals. In one county, more than 50 per cent of the deliveries were made by midwives.

"Many of the mothers have complications in pregnancy or delivery which may result in damage to the child.

We know that mental retardation is significantly higher where maternity care is frequently inadequate," Miss Reynolds says.

Lifetime care for one retarded child costs the state approximately $100,000, according to an estimate by Dr. Fred Crawford, Research Chief with the Office of Mental Health Planning, Austin.

In terms of both dollars and cents and human misery, we can't afford mental retardation. Every citizen should watch for the report and recommendations of the Mental Health Planning Committee. We must help people to recognize and understand the importance of adequate pre-natal care," the specialist says.

Consumers' Problems Studied Consumer problems are receiving widespread attention at the state, regional and national levels this fan, following the appointment of several key study groups recently. Six states have industry, government and consumer groups represented at the Southeastern Regional Consumer Conference, under way this week in Atlanta, Ga. Representatives for the President's Committee on Consumer Interests, the Panel on Consumer Education for Persons with Limited Incomp, and the Consumer Advisory Council are participating in the Atlanta conference, and other similar regioual meetings this fall.

For POUNDS ARE PENALTIES FOR OLDER PERSONS Writing on the subject of sensible diets for mature people, Dr. Charles Glen King, president of the Nutrition Foundation, Inc., pointed out obesity is the most serious and common form of malnutrition in our part of the world today, and that older men and women are among its most frequent victims.

Overweight and sedentary habits go hand in hand and difficulties in chewing sometimes causes older people to rely too much on soft foods such as

mashed potatoes, applesauce, and cereals, rather than on the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and the adequate supplies of protein they need.

Ile urges that those who have passed their 60th birthday take a critical look at their favorite foods, those that are selected most often and eaten most plentifully, "Being too fat," Dr. King says, "adds about 50 per cent to the risk in degenerating ailments which torment and shorten life after 60. Obesity . complicates the other diseases that officially claim their victims; it increases surgical risk, and lowers one's day-today effectiveness."

Along with restricting your food intake and giving your body more exercise, Dr. King emphasizes the importance of keeping your mind active and flexible. He feels that since health rests, in part, on a foundation of 'interest in life and the desire to live, the first step in any program to get the most out of our later years is to keep our interests sharp and expanding, and be alert to new ideas and new activities .

As the years go by we should try to do more and more things for the first time, rather than for the last.

DIET PATTERNS STUDIED AROUND THE WORLD While about one out of every six Americans is concerned with diet and is making a valiant effort to retain his or her eating habits, people in other parts of the world are being educated and encouraged to eat more food and in greater variety.

In spite of the severe food shortages which now exist in many parts of India, a campaign is under way to teach the village people to eat something other than their Spartan fare of peas, beans, rice and !lentils with a few added spices.

The villagers welcome an occasional dish of mutton or fish, when they can get it, but religious beliefs prevent many Hindus from eating beef, and Moslems will not eat pork.

Chicken and eggs seemed the most acceptable and least expensive way to add more protein to the national diet.

Milk and some types of cheese were also intraduced, but it has not proved easy to persuade the predominantly vegetarian Indians to eat these unfamiliar foods.

The educational program also includes the more abundant use of fresh fruits and vegetables. Last year millions of oranges rotted on the trees in Assam, because there Was no market for them, while children 'in other parts of the country suffered from deficiency diseases caused by lack of vitamins fresh oranges could have supplied.

As 'every American dieter knows, it is not easy to change the eating habits of a lifetime. It apparently makes no difference whether the change is toward eating more unfamiliar food, or consuming less of long-time favorites.

--SPJSTTexas Believe-It-Or-Not: Dancing flowers are unusual, even in Texas, but a La Porte housewife has a Hoya plant that swings, sways and wiggles to music. Mrs. Genie Rester first discovered the plant's fondness 'for music last spring when she turned on the radio one day and the Hoya turned its main shoot toward the sound. The plant sti'l sways gently to almost any melody, but it goes wild at rock 'n' roll numbers.

A skeptical Houston newspaper photographer didn't betlieve the story and took a live jive band out to play for the plant. At the first note, the swinging and swaying started and photographer Robert Willner had a series of pictures to prove it!

CREPE SUZETTE. A French actress, Mademoiselle Suzette, is honored this dish. While playing the nart of a servant at the Comedie Francaise in the 1890s, she served pancakes (crepes) in one scene. The restaurant proprietor who supplied them had the idea of igniting them with brandy, to show that the pancakes were real. Not his name, but Sugette's, won immortality.
