4. LISTOPADU (NOVEMBER) 1964

ROeNiK (VOLUME) 52 Oslo (No.) 44

OD REDAKNHO STOLKU Bratrske poji gt'ovani je pateri na geho verejneho Zivota oeskeho v Americo. Dejiny nagi SPJST a jinSr ch krajanskYch jednot jsou zaroveri dejinam Cal. Ameriky. Brathske jednoty jsou hlavni oporou nag ich narodnich podjako napriklad nedavno Skoneeny eeskY den v Dallasu a jine podobne podniky po celem Texasu. Jsou hlavni a nejvagi nadrZi, v niz je shromaZdena a spojena na ge mladeZ. Posilovati tento zaklad jest posilovati nag narodni a krajanskY Zivot. KaZdSr uvedomely ameriean eeskeho ptIvodu nemnZe stat ucoto stranou, nagich KaZdy rrinZe v tom miti podil, kaZdY mu ae svoji schopnosti prispet.

Mnoho lidi eeskeho pirvodu jegte bratrskY system nepochopilo. Slovo "bratrstvi" plati pro kaZdeho elena bratrske jednoty, at' jiZ Cech anebo jine narodnosti. Rozumime-li slovu bratrstvi a dovedeme-li jej skutkem provadeti, bade nam za,10eti na blahu svS7ch bliZnich prave tak, jako na nagem vlastnim a nebudeme chtit neco za nic. Jestli tedy mama radi sveho souseda, zajiste nebudeme chtit mu ubliziti jakYmkoliv zpilsobem. A jestli v laskou bratrskou, bude nam zaleZeti na prospechu eloveeenstva vabec a budeme konati na g dil prace k tohou cili sinefujichnu. Kdyby elovek, kdy' se stane elenem bratrskeho spolku, opravdu jednal dle zasad spolkem predepsanYch a v slibu spolku neinenem, nebylo by tolik trpicich lidi na svete. By jsme si jeden druhemu tolik nemeli za zle, ale jeden

druhemu pomahali a nechali stranou nagi Zarlivost a sobeckost.

• • At' si ZadnY nemysli, ae udrZeni brathskYch jako je i nage SPJST, v poslednicti letech, bylo hraekou. To dokaZi znalci v pojigt'ovani a nagi ptedkove, kteri spojili sve ally a snahy a hmotny majetek, aby se jednota udr&la ne jenom nad vodou, ale Ala yelikYm krokern doptedu. Dle v geho, mame pied nami skvelou budoucnost. Je dost moZne, ze budeme miti i nekolik 'bojti o nag stay na pojigt'ovacim poli, jeZto v poslednich letech se ukazal pevri3'7 odpor proti bratrskYm spolkam a jak jsem poukazal ve schazi tretiho okrsku, nejvetg i vyhra'ika jest ta, 'Ze se nagi neptatele stale snat'Zi prosadit zakony o daneplatu bratrskYmi jednoty. Bylo by to pro nas znaend prekaka a jakmile "padne" jedna bratrska, jednota, padnou, spit nebo pozdeji, i ostatni. K tomu nesmi dojit. Lepgiho pojig teni neni nikde. Proto, chrarime, posilujme, na gi radovou praci, ve kte-

re jsou zasady bratrske pevne zakofeneny.

KaZdy Glen ten by inel funrtni pojistka neni v2dy brana pro jeho vlastni prospech, nYbr' pro jeho pozustale. Pfistoupenim k podpilrne jednote Glen dokazuje, Ze ma, o svoji rodinu starost, aby v pinpade jeho smrti neztistala wine bez prostredku a, aby nebyla odkazana na dobroeinnost cizich.

Jana Addamsove byla takovou osobnosti. Jeji jmeno predstavuje epochu heroickeho usili o socialni spravedlnost, budovani odboroyal°, Zenskeho a miroveho hnuti v Americe. Strediskem, ze ktereho se jeji snahy Airily byla osada kolem Hull Housu (Hull House Settlement), kterou zaloZila se spolupracovnicemi ve stredu nejchuclAi delnicke et yrti Chicaga, ✓ blizkosti povestnYch jatek (clejiAte slayne knihy Uptona Sinclaira "The Jungle") ye stredisku Ceske etvrti Chicago,.

HdyZ jsem prijela do chicaga v r. 1951, male pr y n.1 eesta vedla do Hull Housu a obe knihy o jeho osudu eetla jsem s nesnairnYm zajmem.

Jana Addamsova se narodila roku 1860 jako dcenka bohateho prfmayslnika v Cedarville v Illinois. Sudielcy daly ji do vinku &Ace, napinene vrelYrn soucitem k trpicim a chudYm lidem, jak to dosvedeuje piihoda, na kterou Jana Addanasova, vzpomina, v fivodu prvniho dila knihy o Hull Housu a ktera ovlivnila cely jeji budouci Zivot. V roce 1867 — bylo ji tehdy 7 let, doprovazelo sveho otce do Chicaga, kde prodal mlYn, stojici v sousedstvi nejchuclAich etyrti. Maid Jana Zila v dome sveho otce v pinem prepychu a nemohla pochopit, jak je moZne, Ze kolem mlYna ziji rocliny a Mi v tak bidnYch chatreich. V detskem instinktu nespravedlnosti dala otce o vysvetleni a prohlasila: "M ja budu velka, necham si postavit velky dtim, ktery bade stmt uprostred techto bidnych donakft. Svoje rozhodnuti take spinila.

Pro svoje predsevzeti, Ze bude pomahat odstrariovat a napravovat kfivdy pachane na bezmocnYch lidech, se take pripravila. KdyZ musela pozdeji pro nemoc preruAlt svoje studie na universite, cestovala po Evrop y, aby tam zjistila, j ak tam reAi problemy chudoby, ktere vznikaji i rozmacheni strojoye vYroby v prtimyslove revoluci. NavAtivila Anglii, Nemecko, Italii a i B,vYcarsko. Zajela i do Ruska, do Jame poljany za spisovatelem Lvern TolstYm a jeho rodinou, aby poznala jak svou 'Zivotni filosofii uplatriuje v praxi na svem statku. Wade se setkavala s preclaky a prtikopniky odhodoveho hnuti a socialniho zakonodarstvi. Venovala bedlivou pozornost snaham o zajiAteni rekreaenich a vzdela yacich WT01tosti rodinam tovarnich delnikti v prelidnenYch mestskYch etvrtich.

Po svem na.vratu z dlouhe testy zaCala uskuteeriovat sve plany. V roce 1889 najala sytij "VelkY china" v delnicke etyrti Chicaga, v tesne bliZkosti jatek, v srdci eeske Plzne. To byl jeji Hull House, proslavenSr pozdeli v celem svete jako nejlepAi ueiliAte praktickeho

Kolem neho, za pornoci svYch spolupracovnic vybudovala Osacinicke hnuti (Settlement movement) jako, vzor pro obeanskou socialni, rekreaoni, vzclelaYaci a spoleeenskou Cinnost. V osade kolem Hull Housu vyrostlo prvni streclisko v Americe, ye kterem zildila detske jesle, materskou skolku pro deti vkch narodnosti a ras, poradny pro mlade matky, eetne kursy anglietiny pro pristehovalce, celo yeeerni odborne kursy pro zdokonaleni mladeZe i dospelYch v Cemeslech, v obchode a k podpore studia. V kursech vyueovalo pies 400 universitnich profesorii a ueitelt' strednich S"kol a v umeleckych dilnach slavni umelci tehdejil doby. Po Case verejne Akolstvi v cele Americo prijalo ueebrie osnovy techto kursfi jako vzor pro lidovYchovu.

19 velkYch donad tvorilo zaeatkem tohoto stoleti osadu Hull Housu. Byly v nich zakladany postupne prvni kluby mladeZe a Zen pristehovalcii, dramaticke, literarni, hudebni a umelecke krouZky.

Zeny a dcery pristehovalcti byly povzbuzovany k udr2ovani lidoveho umeni sve zeme, jejich vYrobky byly na vYistavach predmetem obdivu i zajmu. Tak pomahala Jana Addamsova, ve svem Hull Housu prekonavat pristehovalciun svizele prvYch let pobytu v nove vlasti a sZivat se s novYin okolim.

Pro svou dobroCinnost a humanni snahy ziskala i mnoho mecenaAtt, ale dusledne odmitala dary majitelu zavodti, o kterVch zjistila ze Wattle plati zamestnane Zeny a divky. Nevahala dary ad takovYoh lidi oznaeit jako "dainty money". Vyvolala tim proti sobe prudkou kampari fitokft, ale YydrZela.

Vzdor svemu chatrnemu zdravi byla Jana Addamsova ve sve praci vytrvala a 'thisledna. Sveho rostouciho vlivu postaveni prisluSnice nejlepSi americke spoleenosti umela pro kaZdou svou snahu vyuZit.

Patnaet let sbiral slovenske piSne a lidovou hudbu, sve sbirky doprovazel kresbami a fotograficky i filmem zachycoval v'Se, co s folklorem souvisi: eloveka, krajinu, interior. Uz dvacet let predtim, n0; vznikly marodopisne slavnosti ye StraZnici, organisoval Karel Plicka podobne narodopisne slavnosti v slovenskem Martine. Z tehdejS"i jeho einnosti vznikly prvni jeho narodopisne filmy, z nichZ nejslavnejSi "Zeal spieva" a stala senzaci benatskeho Biennale v roce 1934, da gi pak "Po horach, po dolinach" byl yyznamenan Nymburk.

BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 1897

—11ERALD-

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

FROM THE EDITOR'S Fraternal insurance organizations are the backbone, core, and substance of nationality groups in the USA, as is the SPJST a large part of that heritage here in Texas. The history of the SPJST is, simultaneously, the history of Czech-Americans in Texas and the Southwest. It would be hard to separate the two. Our fraternals are the main supporters of nationality observances, as for example, the recentlycompleted Czech Festival in Dallas, plus dozens of other similar projects around the state. We are a main "gathering place" of our youth and their varied activities, To support and strengthen our fraternals is to strengthen our national conscience and our own national heritage. Every conscientious American, with just a little Czech blood in him, cannot afford to sit idly by on the sidelines in this movement. Several Presidents, especially the late President Kennedy, recognized the cohesion and unity that our various nationality groups bring about in the U. S. He supported the idea of preserving our languages, our Old Country customs, and our nationality cultures.

He encouraged it. He even set up commissions to study and strengthen such national groups. You can do all this and still remain an American FIRST; no one doubts any more that a person can practice his nationality mores and still be a loyal American. Time was when this was not so. Each of us can have a hand in this work; each can contribute in his own way. The SPJST provides an excellent vehicle for this work, and we also support it and encourage it.

• • There are still people of Czech ancestry who do not know, or perhaps even care to know, what fraternalism means. Some openly shun it, Some won't even admit they are Czechs, sometimes going to ridiculous lengths to avoid any such label. Other nationality groups have the same problem, more or less. Some people like to be-

I know this world is ruled by Infinite Intelligence. It required Infinite Intelligence to create it and it requires Infinite Intelligence to keep it on its course. Everything that surrounds us — everything that exists — proves that there are Infinite Laws behind it.

There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision, —Thomas Alva Edison To the generous mind the heaviest debt is that of gratitude when it is not in our power to repay it.

—Ben Franklin lieve that unless you're identified as an out-and-out "American," some sort of stigma is attached to you, to be shunned by the rest of society. They ,' forget we arc all descendants of foreigners. That IS America.

Fraternalism and brotherhood apply to all members of our fraternal society, be he of Czech ancestry or not.

If we comprehend the true meaning of fraternalism, and if we practice it, then we must be seriously concerned about our neighbor's welfare as much as our own. If we practice the creed of tolerating our neighbor and loving him then we will devote little time trying to injure him. If we really believe in the brotherhood of man, then we will be concerned about mankind in general. It may sound platitudinous, but if everyone, upon becoming a member of a fraternal society, really governed his actions according to the principles of !fraternalisin, there would be far less trouble in the world today.

There would be far less suffering. We wouldn't be so intolerant of others; we wouldn't seize upon and magnify things that don't amount to a hill of beans; we would lend a helping hand more often, and leave our gripes, complaints, petty dislikes, jealousies and selfishness aside, All of these hinder g;Ood fraternal work' and get in the way

of progress. They hold back the whole SPJST. If you find yourself, more often than not, inclined toward petty jealousy; when you can't stand to see someone else achieve just a smidgen of notoriety and success, then fraternal work is not for you. You then become a part of the problem rather than a part of the solution.

—SPJSTKeeping our fraternals above water and progressing has not always been easy over the past decades. Those who have followed fraternal insurance progress can testify to that, as well as our forefathers who helped build the SPJST and who, with their comfined resources, both physical and financial, helped keep the Order afloat and going forward. If all predictions hold true, we have a good future ahead for us. At the same time, it is entirely possible that a few skirmishes await us in the field of insurance competition. Certain 'factions are constantly aware of our successes and seek to thwart our objectives. Specifically, and as I pointed out in the Third District meeting at Elk, one of the things we mast constantly be on guard against is the ehan-se that these factions might some day be successful in pushing through legislation taxing fraternal «fit. societies. So far, when such have been waged, we have won diem, including some in other states.

There is immediate threat. But we must be on the alert. Letting down our guard and basking in complacency will invite such forces to challenge us again. One thing is for certain: like a row of unpended dominoes; when one falls they all fall. If one state legislature is successful in this ,direction, who knows who- will be next? It would be a serious setback for us. It must not happen.

• We have the best insurance plans anywhere. Let us protect that which is dear to us. It belongs to us. Let us strengthen what we have, especially

Wednesday, November 4, 1964 our local lodge activities, because they are the backbone of a fraternal benefit society in which our fraternal principles are 'firmly rooted.

• • Life insurance is a wise investment of your money. When you join a fraternal insurance society, you are giving your loved ones the best possible protection. We should be conscious of the fact that an insurance policy is not bought for our OWN benefit, but rather for the benefit of our survivors.

When you buy from the SPJST, are demonstrating your concern for your loved ones; that they will not be dependent upon public charity in the event of your untimely death.

Another one of our beloved charter members of the SPJST has passed on.

Brother Frank Kubala, 94 years old, passed away recently in Seguin. He was the la cA of the remaining male charter members. The four living charter members are Sisters Teresa Valchar, 102 years old, Veronica Baca, Frances Zissa, and Aloisie Wotipka.

They are all that remain of a once large group of charter members. You will find a short life history of Bro. Kubala in this issue. He was a member of Lodge No. 133, San Antonio. To the survivors, our deepest sympathy.

The meeting of District III at Elk on October 25th was both joyful and sad.

Sister Wilma Nesuda, Youth Director of District III, tendered her resignation. This year we lost three good youth directors: Sisters Maxine Sefcik (District V), and Marcella Kleprlik (District VII). And now Sister Nesuda.

The Youth Director's job is a taxing one; it is exhausting, physically and otherwise. It takes much time and hard work, in addition to travelling and some correspondence. Financial remuneration is small and there is no regular salary. The only thing that can make it easier is for the membership to cooperate to the fullest possible extent. The most distressing thing to a district youth director is for her to make appeal after appeal and very few, if any, respond to her appeals.

Everyone will concede the importance of their work. (I include here of course, lodge youth leaders also). Our future lies in the youth. The members of District III will miss Sister Nesuda. All attempts to make her stay were to no avail. Sister Nesuda handed out 54 Certificates of Service to the various youth leaders and assistants in the district. She and her co-workers participated to the hilt in all youth proj-

13

VE STNIK ects, on all levels. District III had SEVEN candidates for the Miss SPJST competition on the district level. This was as many as the other six districts COMBINED. This is a wonderful example to emulate. We hope that these ladies' successors enjoy the same measure of success that they did. We wish them every success. . They need and MUST have everyone's cooperation in their districts. The outgoing directors have set an example. To Sister Inez Zalman (III), to Sister Pavliska (VII), and to the new director in District V (not yet chosen as this is written), we wish every success. They deserve our help — and our sincere thanks.

• • The Czech Library that I set up about a year ago has progressed nicely, and I am happy to report that there are well over 300 volumes in the library, including a few periodicals. It is growing slowly but constantly. Once again I ask our readers and friends to rend us any Czech-language material that they no lon ger have need for. I know that much or it is languishing in damp cellars, basements, and attics, chewed by rodents and eaten by roaches. One day, this will be a fine contribution to the Czech people here in Texas, and will be . either donated to Some university, or become a part of a permanent SPJST Czech Library. Such a library could be set up as part of our SPJST cultural work, and would be available to anyone desiring to use it. In the last convention there was stalk cif constructing a new headquarters office building. One of the first things that came to my mind was that I hoped that the planners and builders of the new edifice would set aside adequate space for a combination SPJST Historical Unit and Czech Library, plus a Texas-Czech Museum.

The library has an excellent start.

Again, our SPJST can lead the way in this project, and indeed, help to Write and create history. We need to gather together, in one place, all the pictures, documents, etc., of our Order Since its beginning, and preserve them all for posterity. More on this as time pas-es. I will be mentioning this from time to time. I believe it is a worthy cause and merits our attention. In the meantime, send me your books (including English-language material relating to anything Czech). Books have an inestimable educational value, no matter how old.

Koliha, Jr.; District III Director Robert Cervenka, and Supreme Lodge Secretary, Raymond Urbanovsky. (Picture by editor), CHARTER MEMBER FRANK KUBALA PASSES Brother Frank Kubala, 94, one of the five remaining charter members of the • S.PJST, and the last of the male charter members, was born September 10, 1870 at Bluff (now Hostyn), between La Grange and Schulenburg in Fayette County. He joined the SPJST in 1897 at the age of 27, and joined as a charter member of Lodge Moravia No, 23.

Also delegates to the Texas Fraternal Congress in Galveston were Sister Edna Urbanic, left, youth leader of Lodge No. 146, Galveston, and Sister Maxine Sefcik, retiring District V Youth Director, Lodge 88, Houston.

Bro. Kubala was a teacher and taught at Moravia 20 years. During that time, he was also Justice of the Peace for 10 years. He assisted a large number of people get their U.S. citizenship papers. He was a delegate to the Second Convention of the SPJST in 1899 in Glatonia. Of this convention, Brother Kubala himself wrote: "It was a very important convention where women members were solicited as equal in rights. It now shows that they can do as goad work as the men, and in some situations, even better. These rights were refused to women in the CSPS, from which we separated. I was also a member of the CSPS and attended its convention in 1904 in St. Louis, with my good friend, Valentin

Wednesday, November 4, 1964 Gallia, also a delegate to that convention.

"Speaking with regard to the new fraternal order, the SPJST, the sentiment had been very much in favor of an independent society. When we organized the local lodge at Moravia, we called it Lodge No. 3, but there was some mixup and our lodge received No. 23 instead of No. 3, which rightfully belonged to us. The Number 3 went to Lodge Novohrad. Our lodge was gaining in membershiup right along."

• • Bro. Frank Kubala passed away on Saturday, October 17th, 1964, in Seguin, Texas, where he had made his home for the past 29 years. Last rites were held Monday, October 19th at the Goetz Funeral Home in Seguin, with the Rev. C. J. Freudenberg officiating. Burial was in Seguin.

Bro. Kubala was the son of the late John and Carolina Kasper Kubala. On November 8, 1905 he was married in Schulenburg to Miss Julia Wrba.

At the time of his death, Bro. Kubala was a member of Lodge No. 133, San Antonio. The entire SPJST Order extends its deepest sympathy to the surviving family of our esteemed Bro. Kubala.

Survivors include four daughters, Mrs. Miladie Fraser of Seguin, Miss Evelyn Kubala of San Antonio and Mrs. Lillian Raker and Mrs. Pearl Negrette, both of California; three sons, Julian Kubala and Leon Kubala, both of Seguin, and Mike Kubala of Georgia; another sister, Mrs. Agnes Kiebos of .Hallettsville; and 13 grandchildren.

LUS - EIZICT Hi YOUTH ACTIVITY REPORT A summary of youth activities in District II justifies the pride the district has, in the accomplishments of the young people of our society. The report given by the youth director , in the fall meeting held in Elk on Otto-bar 25th indicated that in 1964 the district had six: state winners. The district was also capably represented in the Miss SPJST and Royalty contests.

The winners represented five of the , ten lodges which have .youth organizations in the district.

The report , gave the following: Point System — :Kathy Vida, Lodge 130 Merit Award — Sharon Engelke, Lodge 25 Talent Award — Frances Jo Kudrna, Ledge 25 Jimmie Strunc, Lodge 82 and Joe and John Kuban, Lodge 92..

Representing the district as Miss SPJST contender was Sharon Engelke, Lodge 66. In the . Royalty contest representing Lodge 25 was Queen. Carol Nesuda.

From convention to• convention the district had many other well qualified representatives. Dallas Lodge 84- provided Jerry Ann (Urban): Muelhstein in the first Miss EiP5ST contest and she wasp, runner-up. In 1963, Lodge 84 also had a point system winner, Larry Petr, and Dallas 130 a talent award winner, Kathy Vila, and a runner-up in the group talent contest. Lodge 66 supplied the merit awardee, Sharon Engelke and the first State Queen, Frances Miller and her King, Alan Hensel. In 1662 the district was represented by Lod ge 25, Roger Nesuda, in the State Talent Contest. Through the years, Ledges 6, 2, 66 and 154 supplied winners in Royalty contests, A close look at the record asks that we analyse the situation in the homes of these lodges. We note that several lodges have subdiVide:d their youth into age groups. This growth is indicative of the fine potential. The success is the result of excellent adult leadership. The district has progressed as a result of teamwork.

With this thought, in mind, the fall meeting served well in recognizing the ability and devotion of Efifty-four leaders who have served as youth leaders and assistants. To each of these the district youth director awarded a Certificate of Service. Each was personally thanked by the youth through their representative, the queen of the district, Carol Nesuda, as they re-

Next, we would like to thank the fine judges and youth leaders who made our ambition possible and who gave us the beautiful trophy. Also to Brother Nick Morris for the pictures and the nice bit of publicity in the Vestnik; to all the fine members of Lodge 80 in Holland who were so hospitable.

We want to thank our local lodge Number 92 in Fort Worth who made all of this possible and for the wonderful gift.

CZECH. CHORAL GROUP OF LODGE. NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Members, This is a short report but a reminder to all of our members that our next rehearsal will be this coming Friday, November 6th.

Our preparation and hectic rehearsals for Czech Day at the State Fair demanded a rest for all of us and now we can once again relax and just sing.

None of us can say that we didn't enjoy getting involved in all of the Czech Day activities because after it was all over, we could look back with real satisfaction for taking part in a successful day at the Fair. A lot has already been said about our Czech Day but the entire affair turned out so wonderfully well that it seems impossible that it could be improved next year.

Dear Friends, The Knights of Dixie dance was well attended, and all commented on the good music; to such music we "could have danced all night!" Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tilich brought twentyfive of their friends to help Frank celebrate his birthday at this dance, and Mary was busy serving delicious snacks. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Liebscher brought quite a number of their friends and had a wonderful time; they didn't miss a set!

To celebrate their sixteenth anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Karel Matejka brought a bunch of their friends to one of our dances, and all seemed to be having so much fun. We wish you many more such happy anniversaries, Mr. and Mrs. Matejka.

The many friends of Mr. Quentin Hoffman will be happy to hear that he is doing fine after a major operation at St. Joseph's Hospital. Earline and Quentin will be missed at our dances while he is recuperating.

Youth Director Clemente Courtney has resigned due to ill health, and President Tim Kostom has put me in charge of the Christmas program. If your children would like to participate, or if you know of some member's children who are talented, please call me soon (Un 1-6419 — in the evening).

So often, after the program is over I hear of some talented youngsters who would have liked to have participated; the only way I can get them on the program is or you to give me their names and telephone numbers, or if their parents contact me. We would like to have some new participants in addition to our regular faithful ones!

Dear Members of SPJST: We had a wonderful time at the District I fall meeting, which was held at the Blue bonnet Lodge, Brenham, Texas last Sunday. It was a beautiful day and everything at the meeting was just super. The members of Blue Bonnet Lodge are to be complimented for their trouble, this being our youngest lodge organized and already so active. I am proud that they belong to our district. Already we have a youth club organized there and 19 of their yokth took part in our program.

Mrs, Ewell tells me that they only have 21 children members in the entire membership, so what do you think? How does this compare to our large lodge membership in percentage?

These children were so brave and show such intelligence. Here are future winners !tor our district.

If I didn't miss count, we had 37 children in our youth program and I think personally that this was one of the best we ever had. I want to thank all the mothers and youth leaders for the grand job they did. Our Mrs. Bennie Matejka and ,Mrs. Ewell (the two youth leaders of District I) worked hard and had all of their children ready and prepared. This kind of cooperation really is appreciated by me, for this makes my job very easy. I am truly sorry that we did not have a camera ready when the program started but I did not know that our editor would not attend this meeting; there-

21

fore, I was not worried about the pic

-tures.ThiIwltryoembrin the future: always have my own camera just in case it is needed. I really regret this because it was the first time for the Blue Bonnet Lodge and we had to goof on this item.

Our program was as follows: (not in the order presented) Glenda Freeman — Welcome From the Youth Darleen Matejka (Bryan) — Prayer Bennie Ann Matejka (Bryan)—Poem, "Our Flag" Linda Schmid Brenham) "H- Poem Claudia Novo:ad and Pamela Vytopil (both from Bryan) — Song, "A Cowboy" Theresa, Elizabeth and Kathy (Brenham) — Song Kathy and Gary Manthei — Dance, "Twist" Thomas Marek (Bryan) — Accordion Solo, "She Likes to Dance" and "Prune Song" Gayland and Derald Matejka (Bryan) — Skit; "Frankie and Johnny" Robert Marek (Bryan) — Accordion Solo, "When We parted," and "It Happened in the Night of May"' Sandra Schuetz and Dianna Matejka (Bryan) Songs, "John B" and "Frog" 12 girls from Brenham — Welcome (I am sorry but I did not get their names from Mrs. Ewell) Tommy and Barbara Marek, Bennie Ann and Deraid Matejka, Claudia Novosad, Gary Manthei, Debbie and Pamela Vytopil (Bryan) — Song and dance, "In a Lovely Garden" Dianna Matejka., our state talent contest winner, sang the song that won her the honor at Holland. She was accompanied by her dear friend Sandra Schuetz on her guitar. Dianna sang "Starlet Ribbon."

I was asked by the members of our district to print the report on our Youth Activity Day in the Vestnik and it is as follows: Total income from dinner and dance was $580.60.

Total expense, including $231.00 given to the children as prizes- $671.48.

Actually we made a profit from the dance and diner, but after deducting all expenses, such as pictures, flowers, advertisements, and the prize money, we came up with a minus $90.88. This deficit was taken from the district youth fund. I did not give you the correct figures in our meeting Sunday.

I forgot my report at home so I was just giving you the figures frOm memory. These are figures that were actually formed right after our youth

VP.STNtK

activity day. I had these filed and had not looked at them again until today. I think that we had a good day and if I am your director, my hope is that we have a youth activity day again in 1965. If you have any questions, please contact me and I will try to answer them. I have all of the receipts and take-ins in my file.

This concludes our program )i,or this year. I am proud of what we did. I know that it could have been better, but all anyone can do is his or her best and hope for better things in the future. I am proud of our district queen, Elaine Jakubik from Snook, and Dianna Matejka, the state senior talent winner, and all the re ,t of our youth who took part in our activities during the year 1964.

Thanks go to our supreme lodge officer3, to our editor, and to all parents Who helped me in any way during the past year. Special thanks go to our local youth directors, even though we only have two in our district. They are doing a grand job in their lodges. I also want to thank Brother Koliha for his kind words and for his presence at our district fall meeting. This is good bye for 1964. I hope to see all of you next year. , Fraternally, (Mrs.) Lillie Matejka District Director, Dist. 1 (As everyone now knows, the fall meetings of District I and III were held on the same date this year. It could not be helped, and that fact was explained to the membership of District III at Elk, I am sorry I missed your meeting, but I had committed myself to District III earlier in the year. Congratulations on the youth program! — Editor).

Dear Sisters and Brothers: Here it is almost time for another meeting and I haven't sent in my meeting anouncement. This time we will have our meeting on our regular meeting Sunday, November 8th, starting at 1:30. We will have election of officers for 1995 and this always takes quite a bit of our time. We would like as many members to come out as possible. This is your lodge and there can't be an election IT you don't come out and voice your opinion and vote.

At our last meeting we decided to have our annual membership lunch at this meeting. The lodge will furnish meat, bread, and coffee. the sisters are to bring some pastry, such as kolaches, cake, pie, and pickles if there are any left.

So, come out to this lunch; if you have company bring them along. I am sure this would be enjoyed if more members would turn out and take an interest. But I know how it is; every one goes at a fast pace all the time and looks as though we don't have time to stop and visit any more. WA all take on more than our share sometime and stay on the go. Our homes are only "filling stations;" get ready, fill up, and off we go!

Must stop for now. Don't forget the lunch and elections.

For Your Information: THE GREAT FOOD MYTHS The American food supply is unsurpassed in volume, variety, and nutritional value. By patronizing all departments of a modern food store we can easily supply all of our nutritional needs. In fact, Americans have to go out of their way, nutritionally speaking, to avoid being well nourished. Deficiency diseases which have plagued our nation' in the past are now almost unknown. Overweight has become a more common problem than underweight.

Notwithstanding the abundance and quality of the American food supply a persistent campaign is being carried on to undermine public confidence in the nutritional value of staple foods. False ideas about food are circulated by food faddists and by fringe promoters of vitamin and mineral products. Such products are sometimes offered as curealls for serious disease conditions.

This may be idangeraus to health, especially if ailing people are led to put

Wednesday, November 4, 1964 off seeking proper medical attenttion.

Modern as well, as ancient myths and superstitions about food are utilized by faddist promoters. Such notions as the old idea that fish and celery are "brain foods," or that oysters increase fertility, are harmless, but when garlic pills are promoted for high blood pressure, or grapes for the treatment of ulcers and cancer, the price of ignorance may come high. There is quackery in the field of nutrition as well as in the field of medicine.

Today the Food and Drug Administration is especially concerned about the promotion of "food supplements: as cure-alls for conditions which require medical attention.

Misleading promotion of food supplements violates Federal law, as well as provisions of the Texas Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. It is commonly, carried on in two different ways.

One method is by so-called "healthfood lecturers" who claim, directly, or by inference, that products they are promoting are of value in preventing or curing disease, when in fact they are ineffective for such purposes.

Some of these lecturers put on a program that has the emotional appeal of a "revival" meeting. Others pose as highly qualified scientists. Their talks are a blend of science and superstition concerning nutrition, right living, psychology, sex, and of course, salesmanship for the products which the particular lecturer happens to be pushing.

Usually an ad is placed in a local newspaper announcing several free lectures. These are the "come-on" for the paid series which follows.

A second and widespread method is door-to-door selling. While this may be carried on as a legitimate business, there are, unfortunately, agents who take advantage of the privacy of the home to prescribe high-priced food supplements for any disease or condition which an ailing customer may mention.

Both kinds of sales agents use a scare technique in selling their vitamin, mineral, and herbal preparations.

False ideas about food are their stock in trade. Four of these ideas are very common and are used by practically all operators in the filed. Each of these ideas contains an element of truth which forms the basis for unwarranted conclusions. They can easily be debunked by making sure certain facts are not overlooked.

Faulty Diets Cause All Diseases There are numerous variations of this myth. One is that all diseases are

INtSTNXIC caused by chemical imbalance in the body, which in turn is due to faulty diet. According to this false premise, it is almost impossible for the average person to eat a completely adequate diet. The premise further assumes that something is sure to be missing which can only be supplied if a certain food supplement is taken. The product usually contains a long list of ingredients, including those which are known to be necessary in human nutrition as well as others which are supposed to possess secret benefits which nutrition scientists have not yet discovered. Of course, there are some diseases that are caused by dietary deficiencies, but there are rarely found in the United States.

Soil Depletion Causes Malnutrition This is the theory that repeated cropping has so impoverished our soil that foods grown on it are nutritionally inferior. Promoters of this theory also attack the use of chemical fertilizers, claiming they "poison" the soil and crops grown on it They preach that the only salvation from these supposed evils is by so-called organic farming and by eating so-called "natural" foods and supplementing the diet with various special products.

There is no, scientific basis for the theory that crops grown on poor soil with the help of chemical fertilizers, are nutritionally inferior. Some soils have been so depleted that they produce poor yields of crops. However, rather than being depleted, most of our soils are capable of providing abundant supplies of food. There is no significant difference in the nutritive value of foods for human use producd on different soils, except in the case of iodine. The only disease in man known to be associated with any deficiency of soil or water is simple goiter due to lack of iodine in certain areas. The deficiency of this essential element is remedied by the use of iodized salt.

Overprocessing The food supplement promoters very commonly exaggerate the fact that some methods of food processing and cooking do result in removing or reducing some of the vitamins and minerals contained in foods. Some "food quacks" cash in on this by false claims for various types of cooking utensils sold at greatly inflated prices. Overlooked is the fact that modern food processing methods have been devised to preserve nutritional values or to restore them to foods. Good examples are the canning and freezing of fruits and vegetables at the peak of nutri-

tional perfection, and the nutritional improvement of flour, bread, milk, and oleomargagine with added vitamins and minerals.

The amounts of such additions have been carefully calculated by scientific authorities to supply known dietary requirements. How well this scientifically guided food-improvement program has succeeded is shown by the fact that once-prevalent deficiency diseases such as rickets and pellagra are now so rare that it is difficult to find a case for clinical study.

Subclinical Deficiencies According to the subclinical deficiency myth, anyone who has "that tired feeling" or an ache or pain in almost any part of the body, is probably suffering from a "subclinical deficiency" and needs to supplement his diet with some concoction. A "subclinical vitamin deficiency" is defined as a condition in which it is not possible to obtain any observable evidence of a vitamin deficiency, but a deficiency is proposed as a theoretical explanation of the symptoms.

Of course, no normal person can go through even a small part of his life without experiencing some of these symptoms. There is no basis for believin,g that they are usually due to subclinical deficiencies. Such symptoms may have many other causes.

Advice of a competent physician is needed to identify vitamin or mineral deficiencies and to prescribe their proper treatment. The competent physician will not overlook such "musts" as calcium during pregnancy, or vitamin C or D for babies and young children.

Nutrition authorities agree that the best way to buy vitamins and minerals is in the packages provided by nature — vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs, meats, fish and whole grain, or enriched bread and cereals. The normal American diet now includes such a variety of 'foods that most persons can hardly fail to have an ample supply of the essential food constituents. The public should distrust any suggestion of selfmedication with vitamins or minerals to awe diseases or the nervous, bones, blood, liver, kidneys, heart, or digestive tract, except in certain cases which only a physician is competent to recognize and treat. —State Dept. of Healti

VASTN fit UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

Taxpayers are having to dig a little deeper each year to meet the rising cost of crime in our Nation. Since this heavy financial burden is directly related to the amount of lawlessness occurring, the report of some 2,259,100 serious crimes committed in 1963 ofJfers no encouragement for immediate relie; frem criminal violence or the cost of fighting it. This total represents a 10-per cent increase over the 1962 figure. in the past 5 years, crime has increased five times faster than our population growth.

It is not surprising, therefore, that criine costs are becoming a big issue in every community. Not only are more citizens being victimized with greater frequency, they are also being charged more for their misfortune. Presently, a conservative estimate of the annual crime bill is 27 billion dollars.

Experience has shown that in all „fields of competitive encounters the best strategy for : winning is a good, bold offense. A good offensive for effective law enforcement encompasses many vital components. Law enforcement agencies cannot wage a successful campaign against the criminal forces when inadequately equipped. It takes sufficient funds, outstanding personnel, and proper training programs and facilities to uphold law and order. These basic requirements are so .closely interwoven in the makeup of professional law enforcement that the lack of one jeopardizes the overall ;achievements of an agency. Further, to single put one as more important than the other is subject to question.

However, career police executives over the years, have sought to attract top caliber personnel. Without exception, the one main obstacle has been the meager salary which they could offer. Consequently, many outstanding prospects do not bother to apply, and a good percentage of those who enter the profession are forced to leaVe for jobs with better pay in order to support their families.

Let us take a look at some of the pay scales for the average officer who daily risks his life protecting and defending his fellow man. The entrance salary for patrolmen in some of our cities having more than 500,000 population is barely $5'0 per week. In a number of smaller communities with less than 25,000 people, the entrance pay drops to approximately 50 per

week. The average monthly earnings of full-time police employees in local governments are about $480. This compares with $508 for firemen, $512 for public utilities workers, $565 for school teachers, and $560 for public transit employees. These figures lend credence to the contention that our society demands more for less from the law enforcement officer than from any other public servant.

To be sure, there are some encouraging trends for fair and just compencation for officers. The annual salary for first-year policemen in one major city is approximately $8,000, with an appreciable increase in pay for all members of the department scheduled for the first of next year. There are other cities whose pay scales compare favorably with this. Even some smaller towns operating on much lower budgets start their officers at anproxitely $7,000 annually.

Certainly. there are many factors to weigh in arriving at equitable pay scales for law enforcement. It is not expected that a blanket wage level for all areas could be agreed on, or justified. It would appear, however, that the marked difference in the lowest and highest figures cited for cities of similar size is a gap which should be greatly reduced — upward from the bottom.

Virtually every hamlet and metropolis is directly and deeply involved in the crime struggle. As the intensity of the battle heightens, the crime toll rises and the cost multiplies. None can dispiAe that the time tor reversal is at hand.

I say to all Americans, let us grab the offensive. Let us take the positive approach by investing more of this cost in improvement of law enforcement, thereby seeking dividends in crime reduction. Let us begin by raising the pay of officers to a fair and just level to attract outstanding personnel. And finally, let us supply the forces of law and order with the strength, the facilities, and — most important — the support needed to discharge their obligations.

John Edgar Hoover Director —SPJSTFLABBINESS CLASSIFIED AS A

NATIONAL LIABILITY The need to lose weight may soon become the duty of every loyal, red'blooded American, according to the findings of the government-sponsored National Academy of Sciences-National Research Count il, Which says flatly

Wednesday, November 4, 1964 that most Americans eat too much and as a result a "considerable segment of our adult population is, overweight."

The report of this top-ranking scientific ,group makes it clear that a national calorie countdown is in order, for while it has long been thought that the average, active American man needs about 3,200 calories a day to keep body and soul together, it is now recognized that 2,900 is plenty and he'd probably be better off with even less.

With one out of every four Americans weighing more than he or she should, the new survey shows that under ideal conditions we reach our best weight at age 25 and should maintain that same weight throughout our lifetimes, instead of letting the pounds creep up along with the years.

The report found that the average American "probably does not spend as much time walking or engaging in household work" as do the people of less affluent countries. Neither do we engage in "occasional bursts, of hard physical labor" as our recent ancestors did.

The typical American pattern is to spend 8 hours out of the 24 sleeping or resting, an activity that requires only 1.1 calories per minute. We spend about 6 hours sitting in chairs or automobiles, and another 6 hours stand-, mg or moving about quietly, none of which burns up much energy. Out of the remaining 4 hours allotted to "purposeful activities" the best many of us do is walk to and from the bus. stop (3 calories per minute). A brisk, game of tennis would use up 20 calories a minute, but this is hardly part of the typical adult's day.

The scientists are willing to let the harder working people in other parts of the world go, on consuming 3,200 calories a day (when they can get them) but here at home, most of us would do well to cut back at least 10 per cent.

—SPJSTFootnote to History

No trace has ever been found of Fort Saint Louis, the settlement established accidentally by the French explorer, Rene Robert Cavalier, Sieur de la Salle, in 1685.

La Salle had set out to establish a settlement at the mouth of the Mississippi, and may have been driven onto the Texas coast by storms. Exactly where he built Fort Saint Louis, however, still puzzles historians today and searchers still are examining the area all of the way between Galveston and Matagorda. Bay hoping to find it.

Schizophrenic Cities Two Texas towns—Aransas Pass and Katy—are geographically divided in that each is partially located in three different counties.

Dr. Thos. N. DeLaney

In Katy, the post office, city hall and most of the residential area is in Hasris County. But all of the town's schools are in Fort Bend County and some of its residential area is in Waller County. Aransas Pass hardly is aware 'of its split personality because it lies mostly in San Patricio County, although it spreads into both Aransas and Neueces Counties.
