IN TRIBUTE TO FRANK BEHAN III The late Lance Cpl, Frank Bevan III of Galveston was the fifth member of the SENT to make the supreme sac • ifice on the battlefields of Viet Nam. For the fifth time it is our sad duty to call attention to our brother's sacrifice and pay humble tribute to one of our members who fell in that faroff jungle hell-hole.

It is difficult to express the agony, frustration, and sadness that attends such an occasion. Nothing anyone can say can make up for the terrible loss that this fine family has endured. We can only extend our condOlences and sympathies to them, though these all prove inadequate. We sorrow with them, and our hearts are heavy. May Frank's sacrifice, like that of the young men in all our wars, not have been in vain.

We are indebted to the family of this young man for much of the information contained in this report, as well as to Brother Jarda Cerny of Houston, who helped us assemble some of the information. —Editor.

Dear Members: This is to inform our members that the July lodge meeting was postponed from the regular second Sunday in the month to the third Sunday, due to conflicting dates with the District Five Youth Achievement Day at Lodge 83 in Houston, which will be held Sunday, July 9. At the previous meeting it was voted to make this change since members want to .support the youth program by attending the event.

Please remember that the next meeting will be conducted the third Sunday in July, the 16th, at 2 p. m., and also notify other members who you think May possibly overlook this announcement.

Fraternally, Bessie Franek, Secret ary LODGE PRAHA NO, TAYLOR

Dear Members: The date of our regular monthly meeting has been changed. It will he one week later, July 16, so the members of our lodge could attend the Open House of Lodge No. 87 at Temple on July 9th.

I hope that all can go and help them celebrate that day.

Fraternally, A. L. Boudny

VPSTNiK LODGE NO. 66, WACO To All Interested Members: The Entertainment Committee would like to meet with all those members interested in helping with the Second Czechoslovak Spectacular, at Linden Hall, Friday,- July 21st at 8 p. in. This will be the Friday after our next regular monthly meeting and it will also he announced at that time. As was the case two years ago, we will need all the help we can get, and we ask your cooperation, Fraternally, Entertainment Committee Otto Hanus, Chmn.

LODGE NO 84, DALLAS (Delayed) Dear Members, Our last meeting was held last Friday ni g ht and was well attended — even our "Mr. Frateritalist," Brother Steiner, must have been pleased to see such a good group because he voiced his surprise. Brother Bubak, Czech Festival Chairman, Brother Willie Onchusek, chairman of the Lodge 84 game room, and Johnny Pecan were among the faces we will look for again soon. We did miss Bro. and Sis. Baleja and Kutil. (I never did find out what kept you away).

President Ben Jarma thanked Vice President Gaiser for doing such a splendid job presiding at the last meeting; and our Entertainment Chairman, Bro. Leonard Baleja, was also praised for his smooth handling of the lodge pienis at Vickery Park.

That gave Bro. Leonard an opportunity to thank hi committee, as well as other help and donors that were involved with the activity of that clay.

So much good barbecue was eaten and later many voices could be heard here and there singing along with those good 'ole Czech records. One could just sit and enjoy watching' the energetic Ones pitching horseshoes, the lazy ones talking to one another (or about one another); a group getting the "mike" and priZes ready for other games; Mama Bessie giving out tickets to the youth for the popular rides or swimming; and then locking over to the right you could see the "regulars" consuming• their favorite beverages. It didn't take long to find out it wasn't kool-aid in those barrels. Then there was this one member who kept trying to tell your fortune. Honestly! Toward the late afternoon our lodge beauties were paraded by in a blue convertible.

We never did get to select one as

queen because shortly afterward the rain and wind made some of us head for home with pleasant thoughts of the day and plans for next year.

Brothers Jerry Urban, Rudy Malik, Joe Jarolik and Sister .Angeline Slovak were sent got-well cards this past month. The last report we had made us feel happy to know each had made good progress toward recovery. Our deepest sympathy goes to the Petr family. May their clear mother rest in peace.

Bro. Sid Pokladnik reported on an evening well spent in Ennis attending the Fraternal Council meeting and announced a picnic is being planned.

There will be no meetings during July and August — vacations, hot weather, etc.

Bro. Men Kretsinger is still pushing that parking area asphalt job. (These are busy clays for asfihalt contractors).

Itowever, don't be surprised if in a matter of several days tar will be glistening in the sun where grass used to grow.

District Director Sid Pokladnik also reminded us that if any of the bylaws of this great fraternal organization are bothering you and you would like to see changes made, now is the time to make yourself heard. The convention is headed for Dallas June 9-13, 1968, so write your opinion and let it be considered. Mail it direct to the Supreme Lodge or uresent it to your lodge president.

Weil, that professional picture we had taken of the members as a group finally arrived. Boy! Bro. Freeman and I will just have to admit it is a job as only a "pro" could do. Pro. Ben Jarmo, has the order list. Does he have your name on it?

We were happy to see such a large group at the teen meeting. They are really enthused about the room being redone for them. The floor is the next big project and Bro. Geo. Reznik is getting things moving by quoting a very reasonable price to tile it. Come see and be surprised at what this youth group is doing. Lodge 94 made a good showing at Youth Achievement Day June 25 in Fort Worth. Many came home with awards. Congratulations! Vickie Kopecky, daughter of Bro. and Sis. Leo Kopecky and Robert Urban, son of Bra. and Sis. Jerry I Trban represented their lodge beautifully.

Each gave splendid talks. The pair, as well as the other contestants, gave speeches that would make any adult

Wednesday, July 12, 1907 stop and think of what really goes through the minds of our youth. Accompanying Vickie and Robert were duke and duchess Mark. Prachyl, son of Bro. and Sis. Raymond Prachyl, and Cynthia Pecan, daughter of Bro. and Sis. Johnny Becan.

I apologize to the James Greirs. In the last Vestnik your names appeared spelled Green. Any way, we're happy about your baby and bring him to the lodge soon, Remember, we have that baby room filled with beds for wee people whose parents enjoy good music and dancing -- with their family and friends.

On July 15 we have the Kaluza Band from West playing for our teen club dance. This wonderful orchestra will certainly put you in a dancing mood.

We look forward to seeing you Ennis, Kaufman, Alma, Telieo, and Cl-isp folks!

In closing, I must mention the great time the lodge showed our junior youth at Camp Parker. All the children came home tired but, very, very happy. Their leaders were the greatest.

Naming them will just make the kids start reminiscing about paddle boats, swimming, crafts, games, singing, eating, changing clothes, sunburn, and that great bus ride. Faces light up each time they speak of youth leader Bessie Petr and her 'Emil, Oldrich and Buelah Barak, Stacy and Angelo Athas, and.

Wanda Petr. You certainly made a hit with our children. Need I say more, except thank you, sincerely.

LODGE

Dear Readers, It's too hot to do anything outside so I think IThstay in the house where it is cool and report on sonic of the lodge activities., First, I would like to say boat I attended the 70th anniversary celebration meeting held in the community room of the West Bank and Trust Bld!.;,;. in West on June 16. Bro. Breitkreutz and End. Zalman of Lod ge 35 were also present. Other lodges represented were West 54, West 158, and Waco 66. Bro, George Kacir is chair-man of this event. I won't go into details since you will get a report on this at our meeting this Sunday.

Then there was YAD at Lodge 92, Fort Worth, on Sunday.. June 25. This went off very well due to ai lot of work and planning on the part of our very talented District Youth Director, Sister Wilma Nesuda and her assistants, and our gracinus . hosts at Lodge 92. The youth of our hike did won-

7 derful. job in renrese'ding us. Our queen candidate, Jane .Pavelka, won' second place in the royalty contest in very tough competition She was escorted by Joe Kimball, with Cynthia Ann Banik as her duchess and Jimmy Pechacek as duke. This is a. first for our lodge, since we did not have a candidate to place in the royalty contest before.

We also had whiners in the talent and craft contests. Cynihia„ Denise and Charlotte Banik won 1st in group talent, 6 to 12 age group. Denise Banik won 1st place in Kom g. Arts in the craft contest. Miss Novak of Lodge 130, Dallas, w:Js eleeted queen, and Ernest Makovy o'leo 0, Cottonwood, will represent the district as king.

Due to the fact that the queen did not have a duchess our duchess will go to assist her in the state competition. Thus there is a possibility that we may have a state duchess from our lodge. Eats off to our hard working youth and youth leaders!

I suppose the biggest social event at our lodge was the Breithreutz-Pavelka wedding and we want to wish Barbara and Gene a happy and successful marriage.

At last notice, we had the following members on the sick list: Sister Peggy Dietrich and her grandmother, Mrs. Vicha; also Loyd Stienka and his twin sons. We hope they have a speedy recovery.

Fraternally yours, Albert Bani':, Secretary-1.7(1),liter DISTRICT II C'AlilP The District II Youth Camp was held at the Bar K Ranch, Leander, Texas, June 23-25.

SECTION

FROM THE DISTRICT YOUTH DIRECTORS DISTRICT III (Delayed) Dear Members: Youth Achievement Day held Lodge 92 in Fort Worth June 25 v outstanding in quality and quant We are truly indebted to the Worth members who were our hosts and to all of them we extend our gratitude.

Our achievers were an enthusiastic group with much ability and talent.

They worked hard and were encouraged by the support of their parents and leaders.

The plans for the day worked well and this is entirely due to the diligent efforts of the youth leaders who worked hard with arrangements and tabulations. All who volunteered were busy and deserve our thanks. The day may seem long to those who sit and observe but to those who must complete all the tasks required before an award can be given it is never long enough before time is up.

A review of the day leads to one challenge — that each year can be made better than the last. That can be accomplished by cooperative action.

DISTRICT Dear Members: Seems like I am just recuperating from our camping trip to Bar K, and it's time to start, with our YAD, which will be held at Taylor Lodge No. 29.

From all the comments and letters received from some of the youth, our camp was a great success.

I really enjoyed the boys' company home, even if we did get lost. We were all so busy discussing camp that I made the wrong turn.

The craft entries have been slow in coming, but I feel like I have all I can handle by the deadline, which is July 10.

Head all your craft, talent, king and queen rules carefully. Be sure to have your cards 'properly filled out.

Our district president will probably have an outline for the YAD Day later, so watch the Vestnik.

While I am writing this, I am also baby-sitting with my brand new month-old granddaughter.

On Aug. 6, we will have another fun day at Camp Tahuaya. Let me know your wishes for that day. Suggestions are always welcome. Plan to be at our YAD July 30 at Taylor Lodge No. 29.
