Liberty and Justice for all."

Wednesday, June 7, 1967 IN TRIBUTE TO BILLY JOE WITZKOSKI This week it is again our sad task to report the death of another of our fraternal brothers, PFC Billy Joe Witzkoski, of Houston. Billy Joe is the third member of the SPJST to make the supreme sacrifice in defense of his country in the Vietnamese struggle.

As members of a fraternal order, we pause to pay humble tribute to this fallen comrade who died in the distant jungles of Viet Nam. His deeds should remind us that peace can bA enjoyed only by those who are willing to defend it, fight for it, and die for it..

We are indebted to Sister Dorothy Beyer, Secretary of SPJST Lodge No. 142, Houston, for furnishing us with the necessary pictures and information. —Editor.

• Billy Joe. Witzkoski was horn in Houston, Texas on August 8, 1947, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Witzkoski, who reside at 13117 Elaine in Houston.

Billy Joe graduated from San Jacinto High School in 1966. He also attended Cullen Junior High and Almeda Elementary before going to San Jacinto.

He took his infantry basic training at Fort Polk, La., and arrived in Viet Nam on February 16, 1967. He was a member of the First Bn., 8th Infantry Regiment, US Fourth Division. He was killed in action March 22, 1967.

Billy Joe joined the SPJST and Lodge 142 Stefanik, Houston, on April 19, 1960. His parents, four sisters, and four brothers, are all members of SPJST Lodge No. 142.

In addition to his parents, Billy Joe is survived by four brothers, Jimmy, Stephen, Mark, and Gary; four sisters, Margie, Helen, Mary Jane, and Jo Ann, all of Houston; his parental grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Witzkoski of Rosenberg, and maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Kosse of Schulenburg.

Rosary was recited in the Earthman Fannin Street Chapel on Wednesday, March 29. Funeral services were held Thursday, March 30, at 10 a.m., from St. Benedict's Catholic Church in Houston. Interment was in the Garden of Gethsemane.

From The Editor PREPARE FOR COLLEGE Do you want to invest in a sure thing? You get $10 back for every $1 you put in!

That old buy-the-Brooklyn-Bridge approach wouldn't fool any sophisticated investor, but there really is a $10-for-$1 opportunity today. More and more Americans are taking advantage of it.

It's a college education.

Higher education is becoming more costly all the time, but the return — both in money and career satisfaction makes it one of the safest investments available today, according to the Institute of Life Insurance.

The family that plans now to finance this education can be assured of two things: 1. It will be expensive, from $7,000 to $13,000 to send each child away to college for four years.

2. It will be worth it. A college graduate earns an average of $140,000 more in his lifetime than if he had not gone past high school.

Increasingly, families are making the investment. One out of every five American adults today has some college education. By 1975, the proportion will be about one out of four.

The Institute, surveying government figures, provides a breakdown of what it can cost to send the youngster finishing high school education to college.

Basic college costs currently average a bit over $1,000 a year for each child in a publicy supported college or university. In private institutions, basic costs average about $2,100 a year.

Fees, room and board are only the beginning. Then come clothing, transportation, textbooks and other expenses that may add another $800 a year, or more.

Total expense for a year in a private college may range up to $3,200; and for a year in a public college, up to $1,800. In round figures then, current costs might be about $7,000 to $13,000 for four years of college.

If the cost of college seems high, the cost of not going to college is far higher. In economic terms alone, a college graduate has a great advantage. The Institute says that a college graduate starting to work to day can expect to earn an average of $444,000 during his career. The high school

graduate can expect only $303,000 in lifetiMe earnings.

The difference of some $140,000 represents the return on an outlay of less than a tenth of that amount.

Each polka band is noted for its Czech, German and Scandinavian vocalists who sing songs that have been enjoyed by countless generations of their ancestors.

"Anybody playing any modern or western music at our celebration will be automatically booted out of the association," adds Caka who plays the accordion, bass tuba and half a dozen other instruments including the French harp.

To go back just a little, we sang at the District III spring meeting at Elk on March 9th. We sang `;`Ty, muj svaty Antonicku," "Juanita," and "Red River Valley." We had Jimmy Motis as our special accompanist ' on his standard guitar, in addition to Estelle Motis, his mother, on the piano.

The instrument lent an authentic flavor to the song of the Old West. We received many favorable comments, and the crowd seemed to enjoy the numbers very much.

At our last meeting and rehearsal, it was decided to set our annual dues at $3 per year. However, with only one-.half of the year remaining, it was decided that all members would pay only $1.50 for the rest of the year, then pay the full amount, starting the first of the y ear.

It was also decided that we let some other choral group perform at the Czech Day in Dallas this year, since we Dave been there three years in a row, but that if no other group was Willing or wanted to, we would offer our services.

8 Vrazel dance, and their helpers were Mary Schenburn and Della and F. A. Kadlecek! Hundreds enjoyed the music of this popular orchestra, and several were celebrating special occasions; Marlene and Tom Caraway their wedding anniversary and I. my birthday, which was made a happier one by a lovely orchid from our daughter Jeannette! Congratulations to Mildred Holeman, who was elected president of the Houston Association of Legal Secretaries; that was a nice picture of you in the Houston Post! That popular State Youth Director, James J. Janousek, has been teaching the Beseda at our lodge on several occasions; last Tuesday he had the adults doing some mighty nice Reseda dancing: Rosa Lee Ruland, Tim Kostorn, Dorothy and Abner. Dixon, Louise and Ed Kadlecek, Mary Louise Kadlecek, Evelyn and Bill Vornsancl, and Marlene and Torn Caraway! I have a hard time getting in touch with our hard-working President Louis Harms; every time I call his home, he has just left to go work at the lodge. No wonder those shrubs are looking so good!

Don't forget the Knights of Dixie dance this Saturday and Splash Day with its barbecued beef dinner and Lee Roy Matocha and Vrazel Battle Dance this Sunday!

Balusek's residence in Victoria. Our first meeting there was held May 8 at a p.m.

Before the meeting was opened members stood in silence for a minute in tribute of our departed Brother J. J. Mikeska. We will not have a meeting in June. But from then on we will have meetings every month, second Monday, at 8 p.m. We are looking forward to our members who live in Victoria attending our meetings.

LODGE NO, 27, MOULTON Dear Members: This is a reminder to you that our next regular meeting will be held on the second Monday in June, June 12th, instead of the second Wed nesday.

Consequently, our meeting will be held on Monday the 12th at 8 p.m., in the American Legion Hall. There will be important business matters to discuss, and lunch will be served after the meeting. Once again, we are asking the ladies of our lodge to bring food for the lunch.

The minutes of the fall meeting were read by Secretary Sis. Jurica. Minutes were approved and certified by the District VII president.

Dist. VII Treasurer, Bro. Alvin Hrna, (107), reported that there is $90.77 in the general fund, and $305.33 in the youth fund.

Dist. VII Youth Director, Sis. Maxine Pavliska welcomed the crowd. In her report she stated that two seminars were held, one in the southern portion of Dist. VII. (Corpus Christi); host lodge was Lodge 117, Robstown, and another seminar in Floresville.

The date of the Youth Activity DaY has been changed to July 23rd.

Sis. Pavliska reported that two new youth clubs have been organized and they are: Robstown No. 117, and Corpus Christi, Nos. '79 and 56. This year 80 children will go camping, .300 per cent more than last year.

Wednesday, June 7, 1967 At this time, Bro. James Janousek, State Youth Director, explained to all Recreation Day. This is like an oklfashioned picnic for the whole family, games for the whole family.

Bro. Holasek, director of Dist. VII, Welcomed the members and visitors.

The SPJST is growing, not only in new members but old members are taking out additional insurance. Dist. VII is doing exceptionally well, and is in second place in the state. There are many sisters who are active organizers and active youth leaders, too. Our district will be first, so let's all get busy so that our goal will be reached.

Directors take care of property and funds of the Order. Money will be loaned to outstanding SPJST members and non-members if their records on the books ,qualify them for additional loans.

Bro. Urbanovsky said it was always a pleasure to visit District VII. He reported that the interest rate has dropped to 6 per cent. The biggest problem we have is beneficiary problems. The process is prolonged when the beneficiary isn't changed, especially when many are involved. No policy is made to the estate as beneficiary, unless the amount of the policy is $5,000.

Change all policies if necessary.

Nedavno jsem jela s bratrem se podivat do vYchodniho Texasu a east Louisiany nebot' prave nyni je vAude nejkrasneji. A abychom nejeli jen same tak jsme vzali sebou nase ptibuzne z Ennis, pi. John Honzovou a pi. Frank Prachylovou. Vyjeli jsme hned rano v nedeli a v Ennis jsme pfibrali zminene pani a namitili to pies Palestine do Crockett, kde jsme odboeili na vYchod do Houston okresu poblize male vesnice Weches je to asi na polovieni ceste mezi Crockett a Alto. Naleza se to na zname El Camino Real (dill Kra.lovska, Cesta) ktera se tahla aS do an Antonio za starYch east). Chteli jsme videt starou Mission San Francisco de los Tejas nalezajici se v Neches. Tato Mission byla jedna z tech nejpry nejAich, ktere byly postaveny v Texasu, nebot' ji‘Z v roce 1690 kapitan Alonzo de Leon a knez Miguel Font-

Mission San Francisco de los Tejas postaveno r. 1690 kapitanem Alonzo De Leon a knezem Miguel Fontcubertem v Udoll Neches bliie Crockett, Texas.

V tSTNIK cuberta zalozili kostelik San Francisco de los Tejas v pustinach vYchodniho Texasu. Pojmenovali tuto Mission dle kmene ptatelskYch a mirumilovnYch Indiana jmen.ena Tejas, cod znamend "pritel", a od kterYch na g velky stat obdr2e1 sve jmeno Texas. Kostelik byl ovSem. znovu restaurovan prettoSe za tech 277 let sub easu hiodal nemilosrdne — a kdo taky by se divil, Se? Je tam velice krasne v torn fifth Neches, nektere ty borovice jsou obrovske a sahaji as 150 stop vysoko a bile duby skoro tak vysoke. Jsou tarn i javory, Oerne okechy (black walnuts), nekolik druhu dubu a jinYch stroxml. Prave co jsme tarn dleli tak jista rodina tam odbYvala rodinne sejiti a jelikoS je to statni park tak si tarn rozdelali ohne a opekali si maso na roSni (eili barbecue) a na velke stoly si pokladali jj -dlavAehoru.VeAlijsmdovnt kostelika, kde bylo jiz nekolik rodin se podivat. Je dosti sluAnYch rozmerti, staveny z klad a tramy spojeny tak jak to tehdy se delalo a Aterbiny vymazany hlinou. Podlahu mel, ale lavice Sadne (asi by je lid odnesl). KdyS se elovek zamysli nad tim jak teSka, to musela Wit prate ten kostel postavit, (uvaSime-li nedostatek naeini pottebneho k postaveni obydli) tu uzname, Se jsme se piece narodili v lepAich dobach neS byly tyto. Kolem dokola jsou pralesy a baliny dosud neprozkoumane a kam se podivate jsou same borovice viech druhil veene selene a veene krasne!. Bratr Vilem vzal nekolik snimkti, probledli i kamennY etverec na kterem bylo zaznamendo, de lion& tohoto mezniku byla postavena Mission San Francisco v roce 1690. Pies cestu od kostelika je domov hajneho, jet opatruje a dobliSi na tento park a kona opravy. Cloveku se ani odtud nechtelo, 'dude sama zeleri a vzduch jen vonel borovic — jak krasne se to dYchat Ale nic platno, museli jsme dal. Jell jsme zpet do Crockett a odtud do Livingston, kde jsme odboeili do reservace indianske asi 17 mil odtud. PobliSe reservace jsme zahnuli do maleho parku a tam pod stromy j sme obedvaly, vAak na gi hoste nas zasobily samYmi dobroty.

Mne ovaem nejvice zajimal ten malt domek postaveny roku 1866 p.

Domek postaven r. 1866 pro novomaniele Tolar, pozdeji pouiivan jako letni ktrehyne a:A do roku 1960, kdy byl odstehovan do Heritage Gardens u Woodville. V ge je piivodni jak bylo v 1866.

1960 a pak tento domek byl ptestehovan na nynejSi misto v to Heritage Garden. AA na male opravy vse je P u -vodniaCjetmups10ldok stale drAi. Na kahle strane kominu v to kuchyni-jidelne je jedno okenko z foukaneho skla, cos byl velky ptepych v tehdej gi dobe. U ohnigte je kolovrat na kterym se ptadla villa a baylna na obleeeni cele rodiny, kus je rucne clelana kolebka pies 100 let stard, ruerie Mane stoly a lavice a nastole je ubrus zhotovenk pani domu (jiA moc davno); almarka je zhotovene roku -1861, tam se ukladali a uschovavrali jiclia, ye dvitkach jsou "sprsliky" aby. tarn mohi proudit vzduch a je moc v clobrem stavu. Svitilo se svicemi a svicny take byli doma udelane. V loAnici postal byla ruene zhotovend roku 1780; "Ora" byla z provazu a no to byly dva' matrace jeden z kornoveho goksu a navrch z peel z divokYch ptakil (kaeen a hus). Kvilt hodne stark, ale kdysi velmi peknk.

Okno bylo jen zagupovaci bez skla, nebot' tehdy byli loAnice jen na spani a (price se v g echny konaly v kuchyni), proto se tam netopilo a nebylo tteba ani oken. Men gi loAnice byla pozdeji predelana na "emuk" kde se udilo maso pro domacnost a uloAily se potteby pro vateni jidla. Studna je 32 stop hluboka a ruene kopana, bez ktere by se lid tehdy neobe gel. Koho podobrie veci zajimaji tak mohl bYt spokojen, je toho tam dost na videni.

Jegte jsme se podivali do starodivne kovarny a, pak tovarny na ykrobri nabytku jakk se uAival za pionkril je to tak zvank "rustic" z -otesanYch klad. Take je tam palirna koralky v pfivodriim styli, v techto lesich vSrchodniho Texasu se skrkval nejede
