SEPTEMBER 28, 1966

FROM TIE EDITOR'S DESK A young man, 28 years of age, was confronted by a life insurance agent not long ago who suggested purchasing a retirement income policy. The young man thought 28 was a little early to start worrying about retirement problems, much less about retirement income.

The sad truth, as Brother Arnold •cirla points cut in his article this week, is that most people reach age 65 and retirement without adequate retirement income, mostly because year after year they thought it was a little early to start planning for retirement years ahead. It would be much better if everyone started at, say, age 25, and bought a retirement. plan at that age. At age 25, a retirement income policy costs no more than a straight life policy does at age 40, the age at which most people, unfortunately, start on their retirement plan. By age 40, the retirement income policy costs two and one-half times as much as it would have at age 25.

If you can budget it, it is a splendid start on your retirement program.

Generally speaking, an agent who would try to sell yon such a policy apparently feels you have the income to support such a plan. However, only you can decide this. Just be sure you have adequate family and personal protection in your insurance program before taking on the higher-premium retirement income plan. You can al-

THOUGHTS . . .

It's not enough to be as honest as the day is long; you have to behave yourself at night, too.

• • Tomorrow is usually the busiest day of the year.

• • Almost everyone knows the difference between right and wrong, but some people just hate to make decisions.

•

•

The man who falls clown gets up a lot quicker than the one who lies down. so make your retirement income policy double as family protection at a relatively low cost by putting a family income rider on the policy. See your local SPJST representative about the details.

Not long ago a writer asked a prominent journalist what he considered to be the greatest indictment of mankind today. The journalist answered that he was of the opinion that the answer lay in our decline of spiritual and moral fiber at a time when we have the finest material blessings. Our civilized world has more cf life's rewards than it ever dreamed possible, yet our institutions for the mentally ill are filled to overflowing— and so are our penal institutions.

Our genius and know-how enable us to watch the funeral of Winston Churchill or the coronation of a queen 4,000 miles away in our own living rooms. But somehow, we can't control the crime rate. We have licked the secret of the atom. But we can't sit down around a table and decide on how to keep it from annihilating all of us.

Someone said that "God gave us the brains, but he expects us to develop the soul."

Another writer asked the same journalist, "In your opinion, what are the two biggest changes that have taken place in America in the last 25 years that have caused so many young people to get into trouble, to be criminals?"

Here are his answers: 1. — We -have become an urban nation. The masses have left the farm and small towns and come to the city.

A rural atmosphere is more peaceful and wholesome, particularly for youngsters. Their time is spent fishing, hunting, riding horses. In the city they are subjected to temptations, and their parents are under greater pressure to make a living and to get ahead. A home in a country town or on a farm is a closer-knit home, because the distractions which tear it apart are fewer. The increase in juvenile crime almost exactly parallels the increase in "urban" population,

Wednesday, September 28, 1966 A changed attitude toward discipline, particularly in schools. The y oungster of 30 years ago was punished at school for the slightest infraction in conduct, and the chances are he got another licking from papa when he got home, if papa found out about it. The mechanics of education today are infinitely better, but the mechanics of discipline aren't. There is less emphasis on order and obedience, on exactness and punctuality.

The school today is better as far as development of the mind goes; it is not as good as far as development of character goes. Today there are more genuises at 22. There are also more criminals.

EXTEND A HELPING HAND .

Editor's Note: The following information was sent to us by Mrs. Mildred Bolf of Floresville, in the form of a clipping from the Floresville ChronicleJournal. The subject of the article, infant Bruce Lindley, passed away recently. His mother is the former Barbara McCloskey, member of SP,TST Lodge No. 107, Floresville. Huge debts were incurred as a result of little Bruce's confinement, and the family needs help. Those wishing to make a contribution to this family may do so by sending their contributions to the account of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Lindley, c/o The First City National Bank, Floresville, Texas. Surely the need is there. Extend a helping hand.

4 • ANGEL UNAWARE; There was a little boy who came to Floresville with an important job to do for his Father. Though slight in body, he was given one of the heaviest crosses to bear — not for just a day, a month, or a year — but for every day of his life on earth.

He was not even granted the privilege of knowing his own family. Nor did he kriow the joy of running and playing, or anything that is dear to the heart of a little boy.

Why, some asked, did God grant other little boys so much and this little boy so little? Why, when most children were normal, was this little boy not normal, and why did he only know pain and illness all the days of his short life? Was it not said that God was no respecter of persons. Did not God love this little boy as much as He loved other little boys?

Oh, yes, He loved him very much and was tenderly watching over him every minute.

Wednesday, September 28, 1966 Did this little child find mercy in Floresville?

Yes, he found many willing hands.

They came from all the different creeds, and some may have been of no particular creed, but they all came to work side by side, trying to help Floresville's little Lazarus.

Knowing that it was in God's plan for there to be children like this little boy, we also know someone had to be the parents of those little ones. If we had normal children, then we must know that the Lindleys, and other parents like them, carry part of the burden for each and every parent to whom God granted normal children.

Surely there must be a smile on little Bruce Lindley's face as he, now safe in the arms of his Father, looks down on Floresville. Remembering God's stern warning" — he shall have j udgment without mercy, that bath shown no mercy," he undoubtedly knows that he suffered what he did to give us the opportunity to show mercy, and thereby we would receive judgment with mercy from God. If it were possible for little Bruce to know any sorrow now, it would come from knowing that part of his cross remains on his daddy and mother's shoulders in the form of the tremendous debts incurred from his illness and death.

Because of these debts, an account has been arranged at the First City National Bank, Florescille, where anyone who wishes can deposit any amount God lays on his or her heart to give.

The article speaks for itself.

• • EMPTY HOUSE IS NO WORRY FOR CZECH ACTORS, GUEST SAYS

By Jerry Wilson In Czechoslovakia, actors never have to worry about playing to an empty house.

The Czechs are such theatre lovers that almost every performance is sold out.

Miss Vlasta Kovarikova of Usti nad Labem, Czechoslovakia, an actress, described her country's theatre.

She is visiting in Corpus Christi with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Kosar. The Kosars made a gift of the trip to their niece.

Although the Czech theatre is statesupported, salaries are small. The visitor, who is a singer and ballet dancer, supports herself and her mother on her salary.

Corning to America has been her ambition for many years but on the Czech wage scale it wasn't possible.

Her parents, the Anton Kovariks of Plzen, have been close friends of the Kosars for many years. The two branches of the family have kept up a correspondence.

The Kosars invited her here for a

3 visit and plan a trip to Carlsbad and the Grand Canyon next week.

They are working to get her visa extended so she can stay for three months and accept invitations from relatives in other sections of the country.

The shapely blonde performer began her career as a ballet dancer in Plzen when she was 17.

She had studied dancing and music for almost as long as she could remember. Her love of music was probably inspired by her father who was a musician. He died last year.

Through the years, she has had dancing and singing roles in musical comedies, operettas and in all the operas.

Her real love has always been the opera and now that is her only field.

The actress speaks German, French, Spanish and English in addition to Czech.

"I study languages as a hobby, because I find them fascinating, but we always sing in Czech," she said.

She works in a troupe in a theatre in Usti nad Labem and travels from there throughout Czechoslovakia and neighboring countries. Sometimes a performer can get a leave of absence and work with another troupe but Miss Kovarikova says it is very hard to get permission from the director so actors usually work and travel only with their own troupes.

Her desire to come to America was sparked at the end of World War II. "When we were liberated from the Germans, I met some American' soldiers who had cone to our country.

They seemed so kind, giving us food and clothing and helping us in any way they could. After years of living in fear and seeing thousands of our people killed for resisting German policy, they were so welcome and helpful to us.

"Things were particularly bad for us after the murder of SS Reinhard Heydrich when thousands of our people were killed in retaliation.

"Many, many of the men were killed and women were put in concentration camps and children just disappeared.

So many men were killed that there is a shortage of men. We hid at night sleeping in the brush in fear of our lives. We had no possessions and we never knew who would be killed next," she said.

The visitor would like to see Hollywood and the New York theaters before returning.

See you then.

Fraternally, Mary Hale, Reporter SPJ STLODGE' NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Members, A big hello from Dallas, and Lodge 84! We held our monthly meeting Sunday, Sept. 18. It was wonderful to see such a good attendance, probably due to the wonderful barbecue meal promised after the meeting. Boy! We were pleased to have four guests from Ennis: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Haskovee, and our own District 3 youth director, Wilma Nesuda, and her husband, Alvin. Mrs. Nesuda discussed the forming of the new junior youth club which all of our members will be hearing about in the near future. You good parents with small children will be getting a letter informing you of all plans and detailed information. Your children between the ages of 3 to 121/2 years will soon be boasting, of their very own meeting and activities to attend — with the company of their parents of course.

Everyone should know by now that Mary Ann and Barbara Duron won 1st prize at the state talent competition with their dance, and Linda Petr won second with her strudel in the crafts

5 competition. But what everyone doesn't know is that these wonderful talents honored us with their presence at the last meeting. The members who were unable to come should get in touch with Robert and 011ie Duron and Bessie and Emil Petr and let them boast about their children's accomplishments. We missed Barbara and Irene Vlk, who placed 3rd in the talent in their age group with the singing and accordion accompaniment by Irene. Our group from Dallas thought you were exceptional and would like for them to know it.

Speaking of good music, there will be plenty of it at the State Fair Czech Day. Plan to be there early and get in on all the activities around you.

Our Sunshine Committee reports the following on the sick list: Anton Janousek, Frank Kopecky, Leo Rejeek, Bill Sill, also Jeanne Hamusek was injured in a minor auto accident. We hope that by this time you are all feeling better. A moment of silence was observed in memory of Mrs. Anna Zaidle; to her family our sincere sympathy and may she rest in peace.

In closing, I would like to have everyone plan to attend our harvest dance Saturday, Oct. 1. The music will be by Eric Honza, and if you're lucky you might be able to "take" enough grapes home to make your own beverage with no cost to you, should our "deputies" not catch you in the act.

Please plan to come and share your friends with us.

Thank you Allan Henzen for the good job you did in reporting, and thank you Mildred and Leonard Baleja, for the nice dinner served. I just wish more members would come one Sunday at 4 and stay through dinner. You would certainly come back again.

Regards to all, Rose Scott LODGE NO. 66, WACO Dear Members and FriendS: Our last meeting was called to order at 3:05 p.m., with President Edward Mazanec presiding.

The Pledge of Allegiance was given

by Kathy Mazanec, Donna clerlich, and Kathy Moore. They gave the Lodge Pledge also, with the audience joining in.

Visitors from the Supreme Lodge were President and Sister Edward Marek, Secretary and Sister Raymond Urbanovsky, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Leshikar and son Larry of Waco, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Saffle, Waco, Mrs. E. M. Schiller, Waco, Mrs. - Estelle Motis,

6 West, Mr. Rueben Marek, Temple, Miss Lillian Parma, Dallas. We were very glad to have you. Come again!

All officers were present.

Secretary Rose Parma read the minutes of the August meeting. They stood approved as read. Sister Rose thanked everyone who sent cards, gifts and came to visit her during her recent surgery. She also thanked all the ladies who made cakes for youth day.

A thank-you card was read from Sister Angelina West, who also had surgery recently.

Sister Libbie Parma gave the youth club report. She thanked Sis. Zephyr Marek for showing the colored film of the Princess Ball. They were very good and were enjoyed by all.

She presented President Mazanec with pictures, framed and ready to hang, of the past queens and duchesses from 1961 to the present date.

She then asked the youth club officers to come forward. President Jean Spence presented President Mazanec, a check for $200, as their gift to Lodge 66, to be used as they wish. It will be put to a very good use, I'm sure.

Sister Libbie then presented checks to the State Winners, who were: Beverly Gaidusek 1st in individual talent, Jean Spence — 1st and 3rd in crafts, Christopher Spence — 3rd in crafts.

Sister Libbie gave a short history of the youth club. It was organized Aug. 13, 1958, with 14 members. They had $25 to start with, which came from the Birthday Club fund and other projects. .Hoping to increase their fund, they had the first Princess Ball in 1959. It was a tremendous success, netting them a very large sum. The first queen and duchess of 1959 were Hattie Matus, queen, Helen Kolenovsky, duchess.

1960 — La Nell Ceska, queen; Jean Spence, duchess.

1961 — Sharon Engelke, queen; Zephyr Spence, duchess.

1962 — Jean Spence, queen; Cynthia Moore, duchess 1963 — Zephyr Spence, queen, Kathy Moore, duchess.

No ball was held in 1964 and 1965.

1906 — Cynthia Moore, queen; Kay Gerlich, duchess.

At the 1960 SPJST Convention, La Nell Ceska was a nominee from Dist.

III to run for Miss SPJST. In 1963, at Dist. III Youth Day, Frances Miller won queen and Donna Gerlich won Duchess. They then went to State Youth Day and won.

VES TNiK In 1961-62, Sharon Engelke won 1st place in the Merit Book Competition.

In 1964 Sharon was also a nominee for Miss SPJST at the 1964 Convention.

In 1965, Beverly Gaidusek was runner-up for queen at Dist. III Youth Day. Kay Gerlich was duchess.

In 1966, at Youth Achievement Day of Dist. III, Jean Spence won TeenAger of the Year, and Beverly Gaidusek, 1st place in Individual Talent and a chance to compete at the State meet.

The youth have had many charity projects. They have sent $25 each year to the Rest Home in Taylor; also baskets of food; given baskets of food to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas; given toys for tots; visited the elderly; taken fruit baskets to them and gone caroling every Christmas season. They have given to the March of Dimes and the mentally retarded group.

To Lodge 66, they have given a PA system, drapes for the windows, folding door in the dining room, chainlength fence and gate entrance to the Lodge, juke box, and barbecue pit.

All of these things have been paid for with the money they have earned themselves. We owe them a big vote of thanks. We are very proud of them!

Sister Libbie said the youth club will go to Six Flags Oct. 2nd.

Birthdays for Sept. are: Sisters Dorothy Gerlich, Norma Pavelka, Annie Hanus, and Brothers Daniel Hanus and Ray Moore.

We sang the birthday song to them.

Brother Nick Morris said the Choral Group will sing at Czech Day at State Fair in Dallas. He announced the dates and place of the Texas Fraternal Congress. He said tickets for the Wayne King dance are going very well. He said we should have a clean-up before Oct. 19th, so it was voted to come Monday night, Oct. 17th. Bro. Nick was elected clean-up chairman. He hopes we will have a good turn out because we have lots to do. We want to wax the floors, set up the tables, put on tablecloths and centerpieces. Please come. We need you! Bro. Morris also proposed a publicity project for the lodge organizers, which was eagerly accepted.

Brother Raymond Urbanovsky spoke.

He congratulated the youth for their outstanding work. He commented on the growth of Lodge 66 from a small organization to a membership of over 500 now; from no hall to the very modern building we have today. We are

Wednesday, September 28, 1966 always glad to have Bro. and Sis. Urbanovsky come and visit us.

President Mazanec said when Lodge 66 was organized on Sept. 16, 1906, was small. They held meetings at each others' homes. They would help each other in times of loss or sickness and also enjoy themselves. He said that in 1949 the lodge was inactive and they thought about disbanding, but the Supreme Lodge Officers met with them and told them to try to keep on.

They elected new officers and began to get new members and began to build up. From their homes, they moved to Brother Albert Casper's place. More members began to come in. When Bro. and Sis. Wolf passed on, they gave their estate to Lodge 66, to be used to buy land and build a hall. Land was bought and in 1955 we moved into Linden Hall. It has been increased in size and modernized and all the conveniences put in. Large social events can be held in the hall very comfortably.

Bro. Edward Marek spoke. He congratulated the youth for their many projects. He said in the eight years they have been organized, they have donated $200 to the Rest Home. He said we have a youth club to be proud of, and that the youth of today will carry on tomorrow.

He said our 60th anniversary is a happy one. We have gone forward with everyone pulling together. We have one charter member, Bro. John Losak, who is 87 years of age. We also have several 50-year members. He asked all under 60 years to stand up. There were a lot of us who weren't around when it was started, but are carrying on what our forefathers started years ago. He said to keep up the good work, all working together, and keeping in mind that with God at our side, we can do wonders and never go wrong.

"Love thy neighbor as thyself" and you can accomplish great things, for no man can stand alone. Thank you, Bro. Marek for your wonderful talk.

The report on State Achievement Day was very good. Bro. Johnnie Gaidusek, kitchen chairman, and his committee did an excellent job of keeping the food line going. I won't attempt to name the workers, as I don't want to leave anyone out. All I can say is that everyone rolled up his sleeves and really got with it. I had excellent help with tea and coffee. The ladies were right there; the teen-age boys kept the ice bucket filled for me and we were plenty busy, so I'll say to every one of you who helped — Bro. Johnnie and

Wednesday, September 28, 1966 Bro. Ray Moore with beverages — thanks. You were wonderful!

We had one new member, Sis. Dorothy M. Morris. Welcome to Lodge 66!

The Health Committee reported no one ill at this time. Those who had surgery recently were out Sunday.

The songs by the choral group were enjoyed by all. It was a perfect ending for a very interesting meeting.

Door prizes were won by (Adult) Roman Parma; (Youth) 1st Katherine Morris; 2nd -- Beverly Gaidusek.

The meeting ad j ourned at 4:45 with youth club meeting following.

A delicious buffet supper was served. The lodge furnished the food and the youth provided the drinks. Thanks to the chefs. The food was delicious!

I'm sure everyone enjoyed it very much.

Remember, clean-up day, Monday night, Oct. 17th. We need lots of help so please come.

We had a good turnout, counting the members of both organizations.

VESTNIK New members accepted were Clifton Wayne Kroll, and Cynthia Elaine Wood.

Our Sick Committee reported that Sister Rosalie Bordovsky underwent surgery. We wish her a speedy recovery.

President Henry Breitkreutz , in behalf of the lodge, thanked those who helped clean and revarnish the floor in the table area of, the hall.

Sisters Ruby and Gloria Pavelka, club members, have been busy again.

Their last project was donating a new rug and a can opener to the lodge kitchen; also a floor buffer, thus making it easier for the clean-up crews.

Our youth club ha g really been rolling the ball this year. We hope they keep up the good work.

After the busines8 meeting Sister Mary Beralek and the lodge ladies served a very delieiouS fried chicken supper.I failed to get all the names of the ladies who fried the chicken, so I won't point out anyone to keep from offending sonic one.

This may be a little early to make plans to attend our District III fall meeting at Lodge 25, Ennis, on Oct. 23rd. Since we have three local lodge members who are district officers it would be fitting to have a large number of our members present. At the spring district meeting we were outnumberpd by Lodge 66. They had two more present than we did. So make your plans to attend; maybe we can reverse the trend.

Did you enjoy the music at the meeting? If so, spread the word, maybe we can have a short matinee dance after each meeting. This may increase our attendance.

Reports INSURANCE TALK FROM DISTRICT III The Story of Life Take 100 men at age 25.

By the time they reach 65, 36 have died.

Of the remaining 64 men: 1 is wealthy -4 are independent for life -5 are working — AND 54 ARE DEPENDENT ON SOMEONE TO HELP THEM! The appalling number of those dependent 54 must surely include some who started out to be successful, and others who almost made the grade — until something happened.

It appears evident that the ability to earn income (frequently sizeable income), is more prevalent than the ability to acquire and keep financial substance or to build an estate. Yet the most valuable asset which each of those 54 dependent men possessed at age 25 was his capacity to earn income during the next forty years.

The problem that each of them failed to solve was to find and set up with absolute certainty some plan which would assure the capitalized value of that lifetime earning capacity -- for his family's protection if he died too soon, or for his own security if he lived to retirement.

The successful business or professional man of today realizes that it is

vitally necessary that he set up a regular annual depreciation reserve against the day when he has exhausted his capacity to earn. In ever-increasing numbers these men are turning to LIFE INSURANCE as the one time-tested plan which can best assure their independence and security.

Wednesday, September 28, 1966 FROM THE OFFICE OF THE STATE YOUTH DIRECTOR ATTENTION, ALL COMMUNICATOR WRITERS AND READERS: For October only, do not send in what your club is doing. This next month's issue is being set aside as "Idea Month." For October you are to write on one of the five topics listed below: 1. A youth club's success is primarily dependent on the parents' cooperation and support because: 2. The most important assets of our present youth program in the SPJST are: 3. I think we should (or should not) have a youth camp for our SPJST youth because: 4. In order to create more interest among our youth our youth program needs: 5. I think that having District Youth Councils would be an asset to our SPJST youth program because: These are the same topics from which our royalty for the State YAD had to choose. They all brought forth many good ideas, and now we want your ideas too. Please limit your letters to ONE PAGE! Remember, only letters about one of these five topics will be printed and receive credit. Get those thinking caps on and have at it!

The response to the September Communicator is overwhelming. I thought that with school starting the letters would drop off; however, just the opposite is true. To date I have received 63 Czech letters and 112 English letters. That is just great! You are really doing a good job. Keep up the interest because there is LOTS MORE TO COME. September will see a totally new kind of puzzle, and here is a hint: save your Vestniks because there may come a time when you will need to know where all our youth clubs are located..

The camping was discussed to a great extent, and so was the YAD, which is so important to all of us.

The days have been set for both events. The camping days for District 6 are July 10, 11, 12, 1967, that is, if we can get the camping grounds for those days. The YAD will be held on June 18th, 1967, so let's put on our thinking caps to avoid the rush later. More about this later.

For these projects save and bring to the meeting old Christmas cards, etc., glass bottles of various shapes, such as detergent, perfume, hand lotion and any other odd shaped bottles that might prove interesting.

Also, don't forget our rummage sale; bring all clothes and white elephants to our meeting, or else contact Mrs. Wallace Bartek, Mrs. Ed Chervenka, Mrs. Bill Brodie, or myself, and we will be glad to pick up the rummage.

Our next meeting will be on Saturday, Oct. 1st at the Gober Party House, time: 2 to 4 p.m..

Hope you all can come.

Fraternally, Mrs. Steve Bartek, Jr., Youth Leader LODGE NO. 30, TAITON Dear Members and Friends, The youth club had an ice cream social, with all the parents and our faithful workers present. The awards won at state were presented to the children by our district youth director, Sister Elsie Brdecka, and I must say some of them were really quite surprised. They knew they were coming to an ice cream social, but they had no idea about the prizes. Home-made ice cream and cookies were served.

The weather is nice and cool, and the farmers are just about finished bringing in their crops. The crops weren't too good, because of the recent heavy rains. We had more rain this summer than I can remember in a long time.

The children are all in school, and

it's rather peaceful around the house until they come home.

I must thank the Supreme Lodge for the award I received as Youth Leader of the Year.

We were glad to have Mrs. Brdecka and her son, Birdie, with us at our ice cream social. We also enjoyed having Mr. and Mrs. Richard Naiser, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Zboril, and Miss Mary Mrnustik, who are always willing to come help us whenever we need them, whether it involves learning a new song, or in some other way.

ISee all of you next time, and keep on writing. I'm anxious to see the Czech letters in the Communicator.

Fraternally, Mrs. J. W. K utilek, Youth Leader —SPJSTLODGE NO. 48, BEYERSVILLE Dear Friends, I had the pleasure of going with a group of ladies to sing at our SPJST Rest Home. We always enjoy it so much, and one reason is because of the warm welcome we receive. Another reason is the lovely sight of the wellkept lawns, flower beds, and fruit trees.

Right now, the pear trees deserve special mention. Mr. Troubil showed us a huge pear which he said weighed about 1 1/4 pound. As we were leaving, we told Mr. Troubil not to be surprised if he missed a few pears in the morning.

This may not pertain to youth news, but as you may have read, we are planning to present a program at the rest home and my mind was dwelling on that.

See you Sunday, the second of October, at the meeting.

Wednesday, September 28, 1966 LODGE NO. 87, TEMPLE Dear Vestnik Readers, Our last Youth Club meeting on Sept. 13th at the TP&L building was held in conjunction with the mother lodge meeting. The mother lodge made plans to get started building our new home. We will all be very happy when this building is erected. The Building Committee of the mother lodge is doing a splendid job and deserves a word of encouragement and appreciation. Keep up the good work!

I wish to thank the SPJST for the cash award I received for winning 2nd place in the 12-14 group at State.

Fraternally, Carmen Engbrock, Sergeant-at-Arms -SPJSTLODGE NO. 87, TEMPLE Dear Readers, Our Youth Club meeting was very eventful since it was held in conjunction with the mother lodge. We learned that the mother lodge had voted to start erecting a building on the land that had been purchased previously.

This was great news for all of the youth since we have always had to look for a place to hold our youth meetings.

We hope before long we will have a building that the lodge can call its own. Come on — all volunteers welcome to help build, clean-up or anything else that may be needed to be done.

I've been having a lot of fun in school. ,I am in the Thrall High School Pep Squad. Our team of fighting Tigers has been doing good this year. Our next game is at Buda this Friday.

The youth club has been progressing as we go along. I would like to say that our youth club has been paying more attention to the meetings these past few times. I think all members of any youth club should sit quietly and listen to the meeting, not talk to

13 our friends near by. This is one point that is expressed, I think, in almost every organization..

I will close now by telling all to come to our next meeting on Oct. 2nd.

God bless all of you.

Don't crowd your writing. Leave the last line on the page blank. Every letter should have a salutation. At the top of each page, write: (example) Lodge No. 40G, Burgtown. That's all.

Don't forget to sign your letter, and use your title if you have one.

Remember: deadline for written material is Saturday noon. Deadline for pictures is Thursday noon. Also remember that the contents of each letter must, in some way, be tied to an SP.IST activity. Watch the spelling of words like Vestnik (not Vestinek, or Vestink); allegiance, adjourned, duchess (not dutchess); treasurer (not treasury) ; business, achievement, plus other frequently misspelled words.

Finally, use the closing, "Fraternally."

Watch these little things. Correcting them will help us a lot. --Editor.

SOCIAL SECURITY

Dear Members, We held our last meeting at Mrs. Horak's house. All members were present, except one. The adults held their meeting on Sept. 18th, and I attended it, too.

Next month is going to be fun. I like to go to the other lodges for visits. I know it will be fun.

Ronald Schielack Fraternally,

Because the laws and rules governing Social Security payments have changed almost year by year, many who think they wnok when they will be eligible and for how much are losing out on payments that rightfully belong to them.

Payment of social security is not automatic. The individual who is eligible must make application for payment.

Certainly, the employees of the Social Security Administration cannot know at what point a person who is 65 has stopped earning wages, or is earning too little to interfere with his receiving social security. Nor can they know that a person who is 62 would like to retire and collect somewhat reduced payments rather than to wait until he is 65.

It is estimated that about one million persons who could collect some form of social security regularly miss

Anyone can walk into their nearest office of the ocial Security Administration, explain his problem, ask questions and receive full information. Or if they live in an area where there is no local office, they can write to the Social Security Administration, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, Maryland 21235.

There have been many changes and improvements in the law as it affects beneficiaries since it was first passed.

One of the important changes covers those under 65 who are listed as disabled — that is, who are unable to do any substantial work. The degree of disability may be somewhat less than the would-be beneficiary had realized.

For example, it isn't necessary to be helpless in a hospital or at home. As currently in force, the law allows a worker who is disabled to the extent of being unable to do any substantial work — but who may have hopes of recovering within a year or two -- to collect disability benefits.

This provision in the law, in effect only for the past year, may make it possible for workers previously rejected by the Social Security Administration to again apply and collect benefits. It is estimated that more than 50 million workers having worked for five years out of their past ten may be eligible for disability benefits.

Workers over 62 or 65 who begin collecting benefits may still earn something without losing their social security payments. Wages or salary of $1,500 a year is permitted. If more than that is earned, it may still be possible to collect benefits depending on how much is earned within any specific period. And of course after a person reaches 72, earnings of any amount are permitted without their interfering with full social security.

One other point of importance, only earnings — that is, salary or wages in the years before 72 — are of concern to the sccial security peaple. Other income, interest on savings, dividends, profits and the like, are of no concern to them.

The possibility of payments to other members of the family is another matter that calls for careful consideration and expert knowledge. Unmarried children under 18, and those over 18 if they were disabled in childhood, wives, widows, widowers and even divorced wives are all eligible for payments

ITESTI‘TfIC under some conditions.

The main thing is, do not think that, you know what the law is today because you checked on it some years back. If in doabt check now. You may find benefits waiting for you to which you did not know you were entitled.

SKIMPING ON MILK IS POOR ECONOMY To skimp on milk in order to cut family food costs is poor economy, says Miss Louise Mason, Extension foods and nutrition specialist at Texas Money can be saved on milk purchases. Miss Mason suggests possible ways to save in buying fresh, whole milk: (1) Compare prices. Milk of the same quality from different companies someties varies in price. (2) Check to see if milk companies in your area offer discounts on large home delieveries.

Check also on cash-and-carry versus home-delivery prices. y carrying milk from the store you may save 1 to 3 cents a quart. (3) Prices large containers. Some places sell milk for less in 2-quart and gallon containers than by the quart or pint.

Non-fat dry milk is the best bargain for calcium and convenience in cooking. It can also be stored on the shelf until needed. Use milk in cooking and include ice cream, cheese and other milk products in the family's meals.

Without enough milk you can hardly provide meals that meet the family's calcium needs. Milk is also a good buy for high-quality protein, the 13vitamins, riboflavin and other vitamins and minerals necessary for healthy growth.

Watch for specials on canned evaporated milk. Evaporated milk has nutritive values similar to fresh whole milk and often may be used the same way — in infant feeding and cooking, for example. Other less expensive products are skim milk, buttermilk, and non-fat dry milk. These are low in calories and in vitamin A than whole milk but are high in protein, minerals, and riboflavin.

-SPJST--COLLEGE COSTS The average cost of a year in college now ranges from $986 at a public college in a student's town state to $2,261 at a private men's college, according to the Institute of Life Insurance.

While the cost of a college education runs high, its dollars-and-cents value is many times the cost. The Institute estimates that a young man

recently graduated from college can look forward to earning an average of $141,000 more than a high school graduate throughout his career.

Reporting on a annual Life Insurance Agency Management Association survey of more than 1,000 colleges, the Institute noted that overall charges at private men's colleges run substantially higher than at other types of schools.

The $2,261 average includes $1,376 for tuition and fees, plus $885 for room and board.

Women's College While tuition charges tend to run somewhat lower at private women's colleges, the difference is partly offset by higher living costs. Overall charges at private women's colleges during the 1966-67 academie year will average $2,143, including $1,168 for tuition and fees, plus $975 for room and board.

Total costs at private coeducational colleges run lower than at men's or women's colleges. The 1966-67 average is $1,917, including $1,131 for tuition and fees, and $786 for room and board.

The survey covered only fixed charges and did not include books, personal expenses or transportation.

Public coeducational colleges report that the average cost of $986 at a school in a student's own state includes $288 for tuition and fees and $698 for room and board.

Out-of-State A student from out-of-state normally pays a higher tuition than a state resident at a public college. This fall, total, basic charges for an out-of-state student will average $1,352, including $656 for tuition and fees_ College costs tend to vary considerably by geographical area and by size of school.

Larger schols generally charge more than smaller schools_ Charges at private colleges tend to run highest in the northeast The lowest costs for both private man's and women's colleges are often found in the midwest. Public college costs tend to run highest in the west and lowest in the south.

A free booklet, listing costs at more than 1,000 colleges and universities, is available from local agents of many life insurance agencies.

Not satisfied with this ghoulish trick, the civilized harpies of the publishing world continued to make profitable fun of the naive bear hunter in a series of farcical "Almanaks" until 1842.

--R. Henderson Shuffler (Texas Parade Magazine) -sPJST--RESEARCH DEVELOPED VARIETIES

Rapid and dramatic changes in acreages of wheat varieties in Texas from 1950-64. indicate grower response to varieties developed through research. The new varieties have been made available through research conducted by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station in coo p eration with the U. S. Department of Agriculture, says Dr. I. M. Atkins, small grain section leader for the Texas Station, The 1964 variety survey made by the USDA , shows the widespread grower acceptance of the new varieties. Tascosa was released by the station in 1958 and the next 'year was planted on 1,043 acres. In 1964 it was grown on nearly 500,000 acres or 12 per cent of the Texas acreage. Growers like Tascosa, Atkins said, because of its excellent straw and tight husk which resists shattering. The milling and baking trade give high praise to its good milling and baking qualities and, adds Atkins, it is especially suited to production under irrigation.

acres or 7.5 per cent of the states acreage. But the most widely grown variety in 1964, Atkins said, was Improved Triumph which occupied 18.9 per cent of the state's acreage. It was developed by an independent breeder.

Other varieties grown on a large scale were Wichita, Concho, Kaw, Milam and Quanah. The new variety Caddo was released in 1963. Its acreage has increased rapidly during the past two years because of its wide adaptation, leaf rust resistance and quality.

It is rapidly becoming one of the more widely grown varieties, Atkins said.

As for the future, Atkins said new varieties in the near future from the Station may include a short stature wheat for irrigation and other high production levels. Extensive research on hybrid wheat is also in progress, he said.

MECHANIZATION ON FARMS REACHES NEW HIGH Indicative of the continued mechanization of agriculture, the value of total machinery and motor vehicles on farms reached a record of more than $25 billion at the beginning of last

year, according t0 the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This figured out to 32 per cent of all farm assets except real estate as against a comparable proportioni of 30 per cent in 1960 and 21 per cent in 1950. Land and buildings are agriculture's dominant resource and currently represent twothirds of all assets.

The 1965 total for farm machinery and motor vehicles was up a billion dollars over the year before, but this figure is after depreciation and thus understates expenditures and investment. The Agriculture Department estimates that farmers actually spent $43/4 -billion for machinery, automobiles and trucks in 1964, a new high and 6 per cent above the year before. Farm machinery and equipment other than tractors represented the big g est single outlay, adding up to $1.9 billion for the year or two-fifths of the total.

Autos were second with expenditures of $1.6 billion.

Je vim jinkm, jen neni muzealnim vYmenkem. Pulsuje v nem pram, lidska peace z nejpeknej gich! Tu vidite stare naradi, kle gte a sklarske pigt'aly, ktere se valne nelisi od nastrojii dne gnich. Ve sklarske huti Desne jsem videl sklare pri praci, v Ru kou dlouhe pi gValy, jimiZ nabirali skelnou hmotu a jimi2 vdechovali hmote jeji vnirtni tvar. Pripadali mi jako virtuozove, svrchovane a lehce otaeeli v prstech obratne, bravurne, s jistotou, s mistrovstvim. Hvozdy davaly dClvi; zeme dala hmotu: open dal svilj Mr; elovek svou praci, svuj dumysl, svou predstavivost, zruenost svYch rukou a sill) sveho dechu.

"V polovine XVI, stoleti byla znovu osidlena pusta, yes Jablonec. V jeho okoli vznikly sklarske huts ve Mgene (1548), v Huti (1558), v Rejdicich (1577), v Rokytnici nad Jizerou (1570), v Rokytnu (1596), v Bedrichove (1598)."

To nejsou jen letopoety a mistni jmena. To je veliky zastup pracovnika, kteri vyrabeli zelenave "lesni" silo, je;z. zdobili, aby je zu glechtili, smaltovou malbou. To bylo usili ziskat v evropske souteli eestne misto. Ale as v XVII. stoleti dosahlo na ge sklo takove jakosti a zejmena novosti jak ve hmote skla, tak v jejim 'NT7tvarnem pojednani, Ce mohlo soutelit a nakonec predeit silo benatske, jen ovladalo evropsk377 trh v XVI. stoleti. Benatske sklo bylo kreh-

Tak vypravuje text muzejniho katalogu, z nehoZ se dale poueujeme, ze v druhe polovine XIX. stoleti dochazi k boutlivemu rozvoji jablonecke biZuterie, jejiS zakladni surovinou je sklo. Na zaeatku na geho stoleti dosahl pak jablonecky prtimysl to arovne a toho vlivu, ze spoluureoval evropskou modu.

V jabloneckem muzeu jsou potadany tematicky vhodne vYstavy. Zahajoval jsem tam pled easem yYstavu etyr yYtvarnikt, jejichZ heslem je chvala skla.

Jablonecke museum skla a biZuterie je jiZ dnes ristavem ye svete ternet jedineenYm. Jeho historie je dosti sloZaeina nemeckYm vlastivednYrn muzeem zalolenYm roku 1900. V roce 1949 bylo promeneno v museum pro umelecky prumysl, nemenilo dal svrij charakter, az pozbylo Casovosti a vYznarnu.

Ve stredu 28. zati 1966 vime proe. Chtival AneZku dyZ, byl mlaclej a ted'kom, je to stova Best nedel co pochoval Zen'', a uZ jsem ho s ni — videla parkrat mluvit."

Hkbitov zahrada mrtvYch spal hlubokYm spankem pod bilou pokrYvkou. V teto neporu g ene beli tim hroziveji temnel yykopanY hrob. Sed' oblohy se snilila tak, jako by se chtela dotknout' zeme. Vitr se pojednou °brat" a jests dkive net rakev spudtena do hrobu, misto snehovYch vloeek spadlo s mraeen nekolik yelkYch dedt'ovych kapek.

Sotva se tak stab, prerizi ticho sipavY Zensky yYkrik. brzy "Prdi do vodevfenYho hrohu 'lad° urnke — to budu ja —" "'Poi d'te domfi, Prodko ya, pojd'te," ozvaly se koneygive hlasy a nekolik soucitnych Zen odvadelo mladou souchoti nakku, z jejiZ zsinalYch rte stekal na snih pramenek krve.

Slavka pevne pkitiskla g ateeek k ftaby hlasite nezaplakala. Tech dojnati ji2 bylo piilis mnoho, Jae() ye snack se pak sehnula a hodila na rakey tki hrstky zmrzlYch hrud — jako teta AneZka. Zadunelo to a AneZka Dostalova loueila se s plaeem: "Sobhem, tatinku."

KdyZ popogly spolu od hrobu, pkistoupil k nim yysokY stardi muZ, ten, ktery tak usadil starou Melicharku, a kekl teple.

"Poted to Pan Bah, AneZko." AneZka Dostalova mu mlely stiskia ruku. Jeji tvak, odraZejici se bledosti od eerneho gatku, lehee pr tom zrfiZovela.

Slavka ziistala krok za ni a namatkou pohledla, vlevo. Kdosi tam stal u zapadaneho hrobu. Pi jejirn pohybu zvedl hlavu a ona poznala Lubog e. Ano, byl to on, ale jak vyhliZel! HuhenY zestarly a smutnY, Bole, tak smutnY. Onen tesknY tak kolem jeho fist byl nyni usazen trvale.

Poznal ji okamZite. Trhl sebou a zbledl jests vice. Ani2 by se vgak rozmYdlel, sahl po klobouku a mleky, hlede k zemi, smekl.

Slavce se divoce rozbu gilo srdce naky se ji zatkasly. V prvnim nevalu cite chtela na neho zavolat, beZet k nemu a prosit ho, aby ji odpustil a nebyl tak smutnY. Neudelala vg ak nic z toho. Jen kyvla na pozdrav a 'Wee dYchajic segkenym hrdlem, nejiste kraeela za tetou.

XXI. sedavy stin soumraku kladl se na zasne zy eny kraj, kdy Slavka, chvelic se

VESTNiK rozeilenim, vchazela do zelenYch vrat bYvale Dostalo yy chalupy.

Na rozlelilem, peoli ye uklizenem dvote nebylo v tu chvili nikoho videti. Jen z boudy zacloumal ketezem a kratce vyetekl hlidaci pes.

Slavka se zastavila leknutiin, ale poznavgi, je dobke uvazan nekolik gich opatrnych krokti.

Bila omitka staveni svitila do Sera jako vysoka, zavej snehu. Nevelka, okna byla dosud temna jako spici obi.

Slavka zamikila k prvnim dverim.

Upamatovala se, Ze se jednou Lubog zminil, Ze matein vYminek ma zvladtni vch.od, ten bliZe ku vratum.

Prave, kdy se chystala Ykroeit do temnici se sine, rozZalo se ye dvou oknech kalne Nute svetlo a na snehu se objevily dva nazlatle xtverce. Hned pots je yypinit stin postavy mlade ny, jeZ rychlYmi pohyby zatahla bile platens zaclonky.

Slavka se pkitiskla k vekejim Pro tuto chvili ji fipine opustila odvaha. Musila se nasilim vzpruZit pkipomenutim, Ze nyni ma v moci svoji budoucnost. Bud'to se zase nepozorovane odplili, vrati se do Prahy a pro yda, se za Arnolda, nebo piljde dale, usmiti Lubode, vyliba smutek s jeho rte a—.

Nebylo tkeba myslit dale. Odhod16.ni ai opojive vzpkimilo jeji telo a dodalo rychlosti kroku, Zaklepala na dvete, jimiZ koneila kratka chodba. Cisi tlumeny hlas nesrozumitelne vybidi ke vstupu.

Slavka stiskia zeernalou kliku. PHjemne teplo zadYchalo ji vstfic. Ocitla se v prostranne, typicky selske svetnici, se starodavnou truhlou a distotou se lesknoucimi larneeky na vrchu ni. Jen kolovratek chybel, aby se vreenim pfidruZil k praskani smolnYch kust dfivi v plotne, od niZ se rozbihaly neklidne rude dipy po yydrhnute podiaze. Bylo tu tak fitulno a milo, Ze to mu, kdo sem ykroeil, nechtelo se mluvit, nYbrZ jen vzpominat a snit.

Slavka za sebou zavkela a tide pozdravila: "DobrY 'neer."

S nizke stolieky u kamen se vztyeila Zenska, postava a odpovedela na pozdrav hlasern, kterY prozrazo yal pkekvapeni. NezastrenYmi okny vnikalo do vnitf jests trochu denniho svetla zjasneneho snehem a staeilo, aby se obe Zeny poznaly.

"Jsem Slavka —", zaea,la divka pcnekud zmatena, a yg ak Zona ji chlacine pkerudila.

"Vim, sleeno Dostaloyd, a doulam,

9 ze vy take vite kdo ja jsem. Co si pie jete?"

"Hledam pang Luboge," skoro deptala Slavka, deprimo yana timto setkariim, s nimZ nepoeitala.

Lubogova matka pkistoupila o krok bliZe a jeji hlas °pet tak chladne zaznel derem.

"Neni doma."

"A kdy se vrati?"

"Kdy se yrati?" opakovala Lubo gova, pomalu a jeji, dosud hezkou tvat, pozmenil trochu kkivY fismev. — "To kdybych ja vedela, mils sieeno,. nesedela bych tu patine a netrnula bych fiz kosti, Ze se snad nevrati viibec. Co pkijel z Prahy, tak se takto toula v lese a po polich; — vim, Zr e hleda silu, aby se mohl pkede mnou vesele tvakit. Ale jestli nekdy tu silu nenajde a ji2 se mi nevrati, bude ho mit a svedomi ten, kdo mu v Praze tak krute 'ublilil."

Bylo neco desiveho v tech Zalujicich slovech rozechvene matky. Na no srdce dopadala jako rany kladiva.

Jeji nervy jiZ vice nesnesiy, sepjala ruce.
