FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK 'TIS THAT TIME AGAIN . . .

THOUGHTS FOR CHRISTMAS

Around this time of the year, it would be nice if I were four or five people. That way, I could accept all the very kind invitations that have been extended to the various lodge Christmas activities, parties, programs, etc.

I know for a fact that the members of the Supreme Lodge in Temple are faced with the some problem. Since we can't be in several places at the same time, we have to decline some of the invitations.

It would also help to be several people this time of the year because of the increased work and activities around a printing establishment.

Everyone seems to go at an increased rate of speed, advertisements are heavy,special articles have to be prepared, and there is just more to be done.

The charm of Christmas is the joy of brightening other lives.

It seems particularly fitting for Christmas to come at the end of the year. The season brings with it the spirits of Tenderness, Kindness, Compasion, Tolerance, and Forgiveness.

For at least a little while, Christmas makes us better people, more nearly like the people we were meant to be.

Not only is this a good spirit in which to close the Old Year, but it also offers the best preparation for the entrance of the New Year.

Not what we give, but what we share; For the gift without the giver is bare.

4 One of our present troubles seems to be that too many adults, and not enough children, believe in Santa Claus!

The Good Lord wants us to be happy and joyful, but He also knows that, like children showered with too many toys, we become restless. So He gives us a home with many doors of opportunities. These doors must be opened by us.

Each must open his own door. Each must develop his own opportunity. The ancient dictum applies: "In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread!" Like children, we tend not to value the things we get for nothing. It has been said many times that all that is worthwhile in this life has its prices.

"Earth sets the price for what Earth gives us." It is always a fair price, and we must pay it if we want it.

Life insurance, too, is worthwhile. It also has a fair price. Adequate life insurance calls for frugal savings; even giving up frivolities, pleasures, and

non-essentials. Surely the families that need life insurance have seen the needs of life insurance demonstrated in situations all around them: widows compelled to go to work in offices and shops in order to supply children with shelter and food. Surely they have seen old men and women working when their arthritic bones cried for rest.

All the fine attributes of life have but little meaning when Christmas stockings sag with emptiness on Christmas morning. We must realize that unless a young man sets aside something for future years a part of what he wastes today he will likely reach 65 wholly unprepared for his later years. For a young man, any year can be the Danger Year. And at age 60, he might have to face a critical situation, unless he has planned to meet it. For a wife or mother, any age may be the Danger Age. On any day, disaster may strike. When it does, Happiness is brought to an abrupt end, and Christmastime may be shorn of the usual many pleasures.

Of course, men and women know these things, but they don't like to think about them. There are so many pleasant things to fill their minds .

Have you provided for the Christmas after ? This eight-word question packs a wallop, doesn't it? It might

WedneSday, December 14, 1966 even shock. These words may force us to realize that the day will come — as it has to so many — when there will be an empty chair at the Christmas dinnertable. life underwriter makes much of the good things in life possible. He has made the world a better place for Mankind. Ile is setting the foundation for the coming of the fabled Millenium.

He is making certain that there will be Merry Christmases in homes where, without his work, the sobs of little children may be heard. He is Mr. Santa Claus himself!

Point Well Taken At the District III Organizers' Recognition Luncheon, held at Lodge 25, Ennis, on Nov. 27th, District III Organizer Bro. Arnold Vrla had a unique but positive way of demonstrating a point to the organizers present. He asked all those present to rise. "Look under the chair you were seated in," he directed. To everyone's surprise there was a penny taped to the underside of each chair. Everyone, of course, started "peeling" pennies. "Now, what was the first thing you had to do to get at that penny?" asked Brother Vrla.

The point was obvious. In order to reap the reward of a penny you had to first get off your posterior! The rest of the message was clear. He was trying to get the message across that in order to sell our SPJST insurance product you have to in a it e the first move, get up and go to it. Of course, after the usual effort, you would also reap the reward of a penny (or more), but you first had to get up and make yew a pproach. The point was well made — and taken.

There wasn't a soul present who failed to get the message.

Dear Members and Friends, It is hard to believe that another year has just about slipped by us.

Surely the weather hasn't given us much indication that Christmas is just around the corner. Nevertheless, the spirit has already begun to surround us with a feeling of expectation, joy, and evermindful of Bethlehem and the birth of our Lord and Savior. Christmas trees will soon be decorated with glittering, shining objects so pleasing to the eyes of all who gaze upon them.

We at Lodge 48 wish to extend a most hearty and Happy Christmas to

Wednesday, December 14, 1966 everyone and may your New Year be one of the best ever!

Our regular monthly meeting was held Sunday, Dec. 4th. President B. C. Staimach called the meeting to order and asked for the reading of the minutes. They were read and approved as read.

We would like to acknowledge the new members. They are Diane Turner, Ygnacios Dominguez, Jr., and David S. Dominguez. We are very happy to have all of you and send you a hearty invitation to be with us at our meeting and social events.

Several improvements will soon be added for the convenience of our patrons. We have ordered more chairs and are going to install two more heaters. This will greatly improve our building and make it still a better gathering place for our growing list of friends.

Our thanks go to Brother Leon Shiller for his donation of a heater for the hall. Thank you!

Charlie Brinkmeyer suggested that following each of our meetings we have a social gathering. It was unanimously accepted. Members will bring sandwiches, cakes, etc., and the afternoon will be spent together. This will be a very good time to get together and really enjoy ourselves and also become more fully aware of the fellowship of the SPJST. Our calendar of events will keep you up to date on our social affairs.

ATTENTION: __Our. meeting in January will be held on the second Sunday, so arrange your affairs accordingly. Also remember to bring goodies for the social which will follow the meeting.

LOD G E NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Friends, The youth and teens, under the direction of Youth Leader Wanda Elzner, will prsent a Christmas program at

VtSTNtIC our lodge this Sunday, Dec. 18th, at 3 p.m. I think you would really enjoy this, and also the songs by our adult choral group! After the program Santa Claus will come with goodies for all the children. Then from 6 to 10 p.m. we have a dance, with the popular Lee Roy Matocha furnishing the good music! As usual, on our Sunday dances, there will be a "beer bust" form 7 to 8 — all the beer you want, free!

Once again, I want to remind you to get your reservations for the New we Eve semi-formal dance, when we will have again the popular Lee Roy Matocha! I am really amazed how fast the reservations are going; so many of you have made definite plans to welcome the New Year in our Chandelier Ballroom by making your reservations way before Dec. 1!

There will be a free dance at our lodge on Monday, Dec. 26th, from 4 to 8 p.m. when we will have good music

by Patek's Polka dots. If you have relatives or friends visiting you, bring them with you.

That famous polka and waltz orchestra from Minnesota, Earl Schmidt, is coming to Texas for the first time, and have you heard where he will be for three days in January? Yes, Earl Schmidt will be at our Chandelier Ballroom on Friday, Jan. 27th, from 8 to 12 p.m.; on Saturday, Jan. 28th, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.; and on Sunday from 3 to 7 p.m.. There will also be a delicious turkey dinner served from noon on that Sunday. So please mark these dates on your new calendar, so you won't miss all the wonderful music for Earl can really play the polkas, waltzes, and modern music!

If you would like to dance to some good music, come to the Chandelier Ballroom this Saturday, for Dixie Bayless and the Debonaires will be playing. They played here for the first time in July and were so well liked by all!

Names in the News: Serviceman Charles Blackwell of Fort Sam Houston visited here on some weekends, and he and wife Carol, daughter of our faithful members Margaret and Herman Liebscher, attended a lodge dance! Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Chernosky of Temple visited at our lodge recently; do come again! Harley Cox had charge of the well-attended Knights of Dixie dance and his good helpers were Annie Vala and Mr. and Mrs. J. Jarish; Gary Zalesky had charge of the cloak room! Teen reporter Kathy Dixon did a good job of reporting the

many activities of the youth and the teens! Rudy Miculka, Robert Hilsher, and Oscar .Helmcamp each got a deer, and there are probably other hunters who were just as lucky! Faithful Bro. Emil Vala is there every Saturday night doing his job well; he hasn't missed a Saturday in years. Joe Miksch is also faithful in helping at the bar, having charge of it on Tuesdays!

Don't forget our Dixie Bayless dance Saturday, the Christmas program Sunday at 3 p.m., and the Lee Roy Matocha dance from 6 to 10 p.m.!

Fraternally, Tillie Helmcamp -SPJ STLODGE NO. 54, WEST Dear Sisters and Brothers, Our regular meeting was called to order by President Albin Sulak. He started out by saying how pleased he is to see such a nice attendance, and how deeply gratified he is to Bro. Cocek for having taken over at our last meeting since he was absent because of illness.

The Pledge of Allegiance was said, then the reading of minutes from the previous meeting were read and approved.

A very nice financial report was given.

A. minute of silence was held in respect for Bro. Rudolph Vanzura, who passed away on Wednesday, Nov. 23, in Providence Hospital.

On the sick list is Bro. Rudolph Kaluza who was operated on in Providence Hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery.

A new florescent light has been added on the south wall of the hall by the kitchen, which helps a lot in the back part of the hall.

In my last letter I mentioned that we will have a Christmas party, which was supposed to have been on Dec. 18th. This party has now been cancelled. We will not have a Christmas party because there are several Christmas parties on that same date, so, the members decided to cancel ours, since the attendance would be reduced.

The next thing was the election of officers. There were several nominated for the presidency. It was voted to have Brother August Pustejovsky as our new president; Brothers Edmund Marek, vice president; Frank Cocek, recording secretary; Joe Barton, treasurer; Joe Mazanec, Sr., financial secretary; Albin Kral, Warden; Ernest Zahirniak, hall committee; Emil W. Popp, Edward Cepak and Frank Souk-

VASTNfIK up, property committee; auditors and reporters are appointed.

All officers are to be naid as in the oast.

Brother George Ivlikeska, treasurer for the hall or was not at the meeting, so there was no discussion. as to his office. This was left open for discussion at our next meeting.

Brother Zalman of Elk, President of District Three, was a visitor and made a nice brief talk. Bro. Zalman, we hope to see you again at some of our meetings; we always are glad to have visitors at our meetings.

Since the 1st Sunday in January is New Year's Day, our next meeting is postponed to the 2nd Sunday, which is Jan. 8th, at 2 p.m. Hope to see a nice attendance again at this meeting.

There was no further business; the meeting was adjourned.

Herewith, I want to wish our Editor, Brother Nick Morris and his family, and all Vestnik readers a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Fraternally, Kathy Dixon -SPJST-LODGE NO. 87, TEMPLE Dear Readers, The main centerpiece that we are using for our Christmas Party on December 13 was taken from an old Czechoslovak custom.

We took walnuts and cut them in half (ate the goodies), then painted the shells gold, and placed a tiny red candle in the middle of the shell. Then we lit the candles and set the boards afloat in a large bowl of water.

Each person watches a boat move around to see if he will have smooth sailing during the coming year.

We used twenty boats in our centerpiece. The bowl was lined with fOil to make its fireproof, and surrounded with cedar and Christmas balls for decoration. This makes a very unusual centerpiece.

Fraternally, Brice Bartek LODGE NO. 66, WACO Dear Readers, Christmas is getting closer and closer, and it's getting so exciting I can hardly keep my mind on my studies.

With parties to go to and other things to do, there is so much excitement.

This coming Saturday, Dec. 17th, our lodge is having its annual Christmas party and program. All members and their friends are cordially invited.

Fraternally, Thomas Galler --SPJSTLODGE NO. 48, BEYERSVILLE Dear Members, At our last meeting we discussed having a program and we also decided to draw names. The price of the gift was from 75e to $1. I am sure we will have a lot of fun.

VESTNtIC LODGE NO, 48, BEYERSVILLE Dear Members and Friends, At our last meeting we discussed so many things it would be hard to get them all in. What I really wanted to say is that some of the children are losing interest in the youth club. I know many children who don't come very often any more. Sometimes it's the parents' fault, so if your children belong to a youth club please bring them to their meeting. It's very important that they be there. You may not think they are doing anything there but they are learning things, such as giving their own opinions about things and communicating with each other, so let's all communicate together!

Fraternally, Diana Matoska --SPJ ST LODGE NO. 142, HOUSTON Dear Members, I don't have much to say for this week, except that our annual Christmas play will be on Dec. 17th. We will have the play entitled "The Left-Over Reindeer." The members of the cast will be the members of the youth club.

There will be Christmas gifts and maybe even a visit from Santa Claus.

So far our projects have been successes. It is mainly because of you, the ones who support us by coming to see us perform, so I'd like to see everyone there..

Fraternally, Mike Tumis, Vice-President -SPJST LODGE NO. 81, NEEDVILLE Dear Readers: Our youth club held their regular meeting Tuesday, Dec. Gth at the lodge hall. We had a meeting last week (Tuesday) to practice our Christmas program, presented to the adult lodge on Dec. 11. We hope everyone enjoyed it.

Next month, all you youth don't forget that our meeting will be the same Sunday as the adults. Everyone come to get the new year started off right!

THE FAMILY LAWYER Of Law and Love Farmer John, in search of a wife, met Ella through a matrimonial agency. She seemed to be just the kind of girl he wanted: modest, virtuous, a pious church-goer whose hobby was teaching Sunday School. All John's doubts vanished when she showed him a letter of recommendation from her pastor.

But soon after the wedding, John discovered that the letter was a forgery. As for her hobby, it was not teaching Sunday School at all. It was prostitution.

Understandably upset, John hurried into court for an annulment on on grounds of fraud. But he failed to win a decree. Instead, the court gave him this cold consolation: "He got possession of the same flesh and bones he bargained for."

That happened in 1904. Today, no

Date of Admission

doubt, John would get more sympathetic treatment in the courtroom.

Yet, by and large, the law continues to be stubbornly hostile to the granting of annulments. Ordinarily a contract induced by fraud may be cancelled.

But the marriage contract is something special. The fraud must be really serious for the law to act.

Thus, you are not likely to win an annulment with a grievance like "She lied about her age" or "He didn't tell me how much he liked to drink." Even in New York, where annulment is relatively easy, courts have taken a dim view of such complaints.

Why this reluctance to annul? Mainly because society has a unique stake in the preservation of matrimony. The family is mankind's oldest social institution, and the law is avowedly prejudiced in its behalf.

Besides, the language of love should

be taken with a grain of salt. The law finds a kind of contributory negligence in the person who blindly believes every honeyed word.

"It is to be expected," said one court, "that every suitor will put his best foot forward. Boastfulness and self approbation are as natural under such circumstances as the strut of the rooster in the barnyard."

For if the law frowns on ending marriage too easily, it also frowns on entering marriage too hastily. Benjamin Franklin gave sound legal advice when he said: "Keep thy eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards."

THE PERFECT HUNTER A composite word picture of the model deer hunter — sportsman prepared by the Texas Parks and Wild-, life Department goes something like this: He makes supreme safety a top tar-, get; He is never careless with fire in any form, afield or in camp; He is sonsiderate of the land owner at all times, meticulously closing gates, never firing toward building or livestock; He practices conservation even to painstakingly dressing his kill and protecting the meat; He makes certain that his deer is properly tagged; He leaves a forwarding address to spare authorities in the hunting country from trying to locate him during home emergencies; He is particularly alert about NOT littering someone else's property with bottles, cans, paper or other debris; He practices good sportsmanship and does NOT try to claim another's kill; He shares his hunting privileges with his boy and, all things being equal, with his wife; He never inspects, much less demonstrates, another's gun unless permitted to do so; He faithfully makes a maximum effort to retrieve a wounded deer; He carries adequate emergency equipment and supplies for first aid or for tiding over in the event of becoming lost; He chooses his hunting companions carefully, for the protection of all; He never permits his loud nighttime carousing to disturb com p anions bent on hunting daytimes rather than on nocturnal nonsense; He always remembers that Department field personnel are there primarily to help him as well as future generations enjoy a great sport.

One oil well drilled near Beaumont, Texas, in 1900, produced 700,000 barrels of petroleum in the first ten days of operation.

Story of a Failure In 1832, he was defeated as a candidate gor the legislature; In 1833, failed in business, and lost everything he owned; In 1838, defeated as candidate for speaker of state legislature; In 1840, defeated as candidate for elector In 1843, defeated as candidate for commissioner for General Land Office; In 1843, defeated as candidate for congress; In 1848, defeated as candidate for congressional nomination; In 1855, defeated as candidate for U.S. Senator; In 1856, defeated as candidate for vice-president; In 1858, defeated again as candidate for U.S. Senator; —and this is the record of a man who is looked up to by people of all nations, of all color and creed. The records show that Abraham Lincoln enjoyed few years entirely free from defeats, or knowledge of defeats.

THIS., . AND THE NEXT CHRISTMAS. . .

Christmas and the end of the year somehow go together. Not only is this a good spirit in which to close the Old Year; it is also the best preparation possible for the coming New Year. Have you provided for the first Christmas after? Such a question may shock you, but you must be keenly aware of the day — and it has come to many — when there will be an empty chair at the head of your Christmas table. Life insurance can help ease this burden. Yes, make this Christmas a Merry one — and many more to come — with life insurance from the SPJST.

• Martinska, husa.

Na sv. Martina od starodavna musi bYti v eeskYch zamoZnejSich rodinach martinska husa.

Jak piisel tento ptak do styku se sv.

Martinem? 0 tom nom vypravuje legenda nasledovne: Ve starobyle Saba-. rii, v dne:Snim uherskem Kamenci, naradii se r. 31 Martin, kterY za ciSartiv rimskYch Konstantina a Juliana nucen byl vstoupiti do rimskeho vojska, kdeZ brzy domohl se yzne.SenYch hodnosti. Pribyv s rimskYm vojskem do Gallie, dal se v Amiesu poldtiti, stal se pak knezem a vzorem vkch ctnosti.

Legenda vypravuje, its jednou, jests jako vojin, potkal pied branami amienskYmi mrznouciho vojaka, jemu.2 daroval pul sveho plaSte, naee2 nasledujici noci se mu objevil Kristus, onou polovici plate odenY. Pro svou zbo'Znost a y zorne Z'ivobyti byl r. 375 knez Martin, zvolen za biskupa v Toursu. AVSak on ve sve pokore a skromnosti nepokladal se za hodna tako yeho dristojenstvi a jak legenda yypravuje, uschoval se v husim chlivku pied slavnYm poselstvirn, ktere jej do TOIUS11, do noveho jeho siclla biskupskeho, doprovoditi chtelo.

AvAak to se pustily busy do takoveho kyhani. a S- tebetani, jako kdysi jejich prababieky na rimskem Kapitolu a pro zradily tim svetce, jemuZ" od to doby husa pridelena byla za telesneho ptaka.
