AL

DAY

There is no question about it. Our State Youth Achievemetit Day was a tremendous success. This time last year year in this column we made the observation that we may have to eventually hold this affair in larger quarters. It was estimated that approximately 700 people attended the event, with the largest number present just prior to and during the coronation ceremonies. (We base this number on the number of chairs in Linden Ball, plus an estimate on the number who were standing). Everything w e n t; smoothly, and the officers and members of Lod g e GO deserve a tremendous vote of thanks for the efficient manner in which over 500 Meals were served in about 45 minutes—State Youth Director Janousek and his many assistants deserve a big vote of thanks for the manner in which everything was handled.

We must be honest, however, and report our observations, based on both personal observations and on the many remarks expressed by those in attendance. The biggest complaint: it all o long. From 11 in the morning until about 8:30 in the evening is a long time for people to have to watch and be attentive at any function, even with the two well-timed breaks. If the young ones were restless; the adults were twice as much so. 1 ers face it: this statewide event has g rown immensely in the last two or ihree years; more people are involved: lore craft ns are being entered each. succeedmg year. More contestants are entering on every level. And wh' you have more people involved it's nil going to take longer. I know of no one who isn't delighted and very pleased the increased interest in this animal affair.

The results are most gratifying. It's good for the youth. It's good for the SPJST. We offer one suggestion that would solve the question of the length of the event: hold the craft and talent competitions separately and about a .month before the royalty (empetition.

Yes, it would mean two •J;ch gatherings instead of one, but neither would then be so long and both would be more enjoyable to all concerned. Neither would then be over two, possibly three, tiCalf6 lu length. Vcople would

Wednesday, August 30, 1967 get home earlier. Mom and Dad and the little ones wouldn't be so worn out.

The one event could be held in one location, possibly farther south, and the other perhaps farther north. Last Sunday, the music by the fine group was wasted because there wasn't anyone around to enjoy it or dance to it.

People had already been there over eight hours and were itching to be on their way home. True, you don't have to have a dance, but people will stick around and socialize a while if it's still fairly early in the afternoon.

There were numerous complaints about the refreshments bar not being open during the afternoon. This is always a problem. If you leave it open, a lot of people will gravitate toward it and then you have the usual loud conversation, especially if the facility is located nut too far from the scene of the competition. Loud noises and other distractions are not fair to the contestants. If yoa have it situated on the outside you'd soon have more people on the outside than on the inside.

That's simpl y the nature of people, especially after the first couple of hours of sitting and listening. I saw groups of peo ple outside just standing and talking. They were tired of sitting.

We honestly believe that if the project is cut in two, you will generate as much, if not more, interest as has been the case, and more people will be happier. If this event continues to grow, something will have to be done along this line . . .

Finally, we offer our congratulations — first, to those who didn't place first or who didn't place at all. The y 're the ones who need the boost, the little bit of encouragement to try harder next time. Congratulations to the winners — all of them! The parents deserve a big thank you for their untiring' cooperation and giving their sons and daughters the necessary encouragement to compete. This is always necessary. A lot of sacrifice had to be made by many people, children and parents. YOU made it a success. YOU will reap the rewards.

The native of Williamson County sq id that the early Czechs in Texas "looked to themselves, to their own strength and to the labor of their heade and hands to meet, the changes and to satisfy the requirements of the times.

"To the Czech, the fertile soil of Texas on which he settled was a "haven of refuge — a promised land of golden opportunity."

Smith also said the Czechs "came to build on their own. They didn't ask for government assistance . . . or for handouts. When they felt need, in common bond they united to meet that need and to provide insurance against disaster and the last demands of death, they founded their own fraternal insurance benefit society."

D7This is a reminder that Lodge 117, Robstown, will hold its regular meetin g on :=3;int.. 3rd, at 3 p.m. Members are urged to attend this meeting since plans will be made for the District VII meeting, which will be held on Oct. 15th, and our lodge will be the host.

There will be a discussion on preparing for the celebration of the 70th. anniversary of the SPJST, district meeting, youth program, and dance.

I have been asked to mention in the Vestnik that an idea has been proposed that the lodge serve turkey

and dressing and baked ham, so sisters, do come to this meeting so this can be thoroughly discussed and planned.

Now, I want to congratulate Sister Thelma Hrncir and her assistants for a wonderful job at the YAD in Robstown on July 16th. In my opinion this was the best and most enjoyable YAD I have ever attended. Everything was well performed; the children were all well coached and their performance was great.

Now the best news: It has rained in South Texas! It has been raining for a week and at present we have received 4.2 inches or rainfall. We were very

Some farmers made a fair crop of milo, and cotton was good only in spotted areas. The cotton was very small and suffered for lack of moisture. Now the prospects are good for a winter garden and am I glad!

-SP TST--BY-LAW RECOMMENDED CHANGES AND PROPOSALS

(Published exactly as received — Ed.) (Continued) MOTIONS TO AMEND BY-LAWS Article 22, paragraph "a" of present by-laws states: "Upon adoption of by-laws with all changes and amendments, the seven member committee on by-laws immediately arranges and compiles the newly adopted by-laws.

4

The new State Royalty Cottrt with their proud parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harley Cox, Lodge 88, Houston, and Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Makovy, Lodge 6, Cottonwood near West.

The committee on by-laws is charged with the responsibility of eliminating duplication in the by-laws and parts of by-laws: removing conflicting articles, (the articles first adopted and not repealed in the convention shall take precedence over subsequent bylaws enacted unless the earlier by-laws are first repealed); re-codifying all the by-laws, and preparing an exhaustive index."

Well, dear reader, now you tell me what all this language means. I am unable to comprehend it. • . In one part it states: "eliminating duplication in the by-laws and parts of bylaws." Why should there be any duplication anywhere if the seven members of the by-law committee are on the job? Surely one of the seven men could and should be able to spot any duplication if he studied the by-laws for some months before the convention and seven men should be able to spot any duplication in the just recommended by-laws before they present them to the convention for approval.

There should be no "duplication" in the by-laws or parts of by-laws" (?)

To charge the committee on by-laws with the power to change by-laws — and this provision is nothing else but power to change.by-laws after they are accepted by the convention', may result in another babelonic production like this paragraph""a" of article 22 is.

Motion: "Eliminate present article 22-a from the bY-lawe and replace it with the 101161/frig provision: Article 22, paragraph "a"1 Following the ad-

Tecti ye on adoption).

Article 22, paragraph "d", as preccntly composed, states: "The printer must forward one copy of the proof to each member of the committee on by-laws and one copy to each member of such translation committee for approval and one copy to each member of the Supreme Lodge for their comments. Such comments shall be forwardedt by such Supreme Lodge members to the translation committee within ten days after receipt the' eof and prior to final aoroval of the translation by the committee on by-laws."

As the by-laws, by the time this action shall take place, have been accepted. b y the convention by standorder the approval once ing vote, the provision more? Loo and out of order.

WollY unra • , ,• can disc ern in this The only lid 'C ' artelle 22 provision of n of this prM is that the for the re . .s of the proofc to check for errors. Also, it 'looks like this article is giving the many recipients of the proof a licence to change by-laws at their leisure. But, this pro• looks also more like a directive to do a job of proofreading and correction of grathatical errors and nothelse. Here is motion to change paragraph "d" e7 article 22: "Before the printing of the Buoreme e' ? r ,w--laws mean the printer DIUSt forWaxd one cony of the galley proof to each member of the by-law ermi i1Tt-tee and one copy to each member of the Supreme Lodge for proofreading.

This approval is left out of my motion for new paragraph "d" of article 22.

Article 24 of present by-laws treats the new insurance committee and the committee's pay. This article looks a little out of order as every convention may adopt it's own schedule of remunerations to the proconvention and convention committees that may be suggested by the proper committee of the present session of the convention.

In article 26 we have in para,graph "a" thus: "All the new by-laws and amendments become effective etc. . ."

Let us drop the two words "and amend meats" because all ainendments once adopted, are amendments no more, they are by-laws, and so it looks like those two words arc somewhat out of order.

In article 54-b is a provision that the .E•upreme lodge, in January following each convention will send a post. card to each member receiving the Vestnik, inquiring whether the member wishes to receive the Vestnik. A. member will continue receiving the Vestnik, unless he notifies the Supreme Lodge not to send the Vestnik."

Just about how many members that receive the Vetsnik will take the trouble to write a post card to the Supreme lodge not to send the Vestnik ??????????? 'This reminds me of the good old time when the floor of the foyer of the Fayetteville post office was covered by discarded, not wanted Vestniks.

And here is another question: How much time and labor and money will be saved by discontinuing or rath er, as this provision t4kes effect aftet

the next, convention, rescinding this unnecessary provision before the next convention is over?

So "please, mark this °tam on your book: "Eliminate from the by-kaws paragraph "b" of article 54 entirely eight lines of it, — and make it effective immediately, (To be continued) Fraternally, k.

YOUT SECTION

,for

Wednesday, August 30, 1967 and the attendance was very nice and the movies were enjoyed by all.

We hope to see more in the near future. Victor Gerlich was in charge of the movies. A lunch was served after the movies by the youth club members.

We have ve a few new youth members in our club. We want to extend a welcome to them and hope they enjoy being in our club.

Fraternally, Irene Slovacek, Youth Leader —SPJST-LODU NO. 87, TEMPLE Dear Members and Friends, A very successful State YAD is now over. This year had the largest crowd, the largest number participating, and in all, went very well. I give Mr. James Janousek the "most deserving" award for a job well done, and for the wonderful job he is continuing to do for all the youth and leaders of our big SPJST. My thanks go to Bro. Marek, Bro. Hejny, and the staff of the Supreme Lodge, Sister Emily Mikeska and Bro. Nick Morris, who all had a part in this big event for our youth.

I'd like to congratulate the new state queen and king and all the other winners; also the many of you who were not winners; you have not lost but gained invaluable experience by simply participating. All of us cannot be winners, so do not be dismayed. Try harder next year. You all were just great.

I am very proud of our Horse Act that won State, but most of all, of our youth club, because it shows what can be accomplished when we all work together. I was surprised when chosen as State Youth Leader of the Year, and even today I am still speechless. I just can't find the words to express my gratitude to you all. I know God will repay you in being such good youth, parents and helpers.

Fraternally, Frances Bartek, Youth Leader —SPJSTLODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Readers, We all enjoyed the YAD in Elm Mott.

My hat is certainly off to Bro. James Janousek. To say he was the "most" would be saying the "least." A job well done, Bro. James.

My congratulations to all the winners, especially those from 88— Donna Schnell, Susan Schenburn, Bonnie Sue Cox and Jode Elzner. I've been Bonnie's youth leader for three years and

VESTNIK

have watched her grow up to be a charming young lady. I have all the confidence in the world she will make a deserving queen My thanks to all who helped me serve my "thank-you" barbecue.

LODGE NO. 35, ELK Dear Readers, We held our last meeting on Aug. 13th. The adult meeting was held first. After the adult meeting was adjourned, the youth had their meeting -and while they were having the meeting the ladies were cooking a wonderful meal. It smelled so good! We adjourned the meeting. After we ate the wonderful meal, instead of saying good-bye to everyone, we had a band.

The band was called "The Two Steppers." They played real well. If there is anyone around the Elk area who would like to join the youth club get in touch with Ruby Pavelka.

Fraternally, Denise Banik (9), Reporter LODGE NO. 35, ELK Dear Readers, We went swimming at Battle Lake on Aug. 22nd. We went swimming, and in an hour it rained. We went to the hall and at supper and it was good.

Thanks to the mothers. That same night Waco had that bad storm. I am glad we went to the hall. I'd better close.

Wednesday, August 30, 1907 LODGE NO. 142, HOUSTON Dear Members, On Aug. 20th the State Youth Achievement Day was held at Lodge 66, Elm Mott. It was a day in which all youth could present their talents in various groups: singing, dancing, playing an instrument, or displaying a craft. I am. sure that day will be remembered by both winners and losers.

But then again we might say there were no losers because all accomplished a lot by getting as far as state.

WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE REMINDED CONSTANTLY.. .

. about the importance of adequate life insurance protection. When life insurance is properly planned, it protects your interests without disrupting your budget. A death in the family can bring on so many problems, to say nothing of the grief. Life insurance eases much of the financial strain that accompanies such misfortune. Life insurance takes care of many things, and since the values and benefits in your policy coverage depend on the reputation and stability of the company that offers it, you would do well to check into the many plans offered by the SPJST. Nothing means more to us than people and their personal security.

V mesici he znali a povest o nem letela krajem. jell star' znami i phbuzni a Miletice byly stale oSiveny. Mel-li Terner jeSte nejaky stesk po Grenoblu a sveiarme, ten ted' se vytratil, a kdyS nastaly prvni polni prate, ociti se ve svem 21vlu. Konika si koupil a na nem jezdil po svem starem zpusobu s lulkou v stech, a michaje do sve reel americka slova, ktera si lido opakovali, sinejice se i povSujice je za cosi vsacneho.

Vrcholem jeho spokojenosti bylo, kdyS mu Teresa prozradila, Se eeka rodinu.

Objal ji, libal a jako male dite do dlani tleskal, ted' Se je ternerovskY rod v Mileticich zabespeeen. Malem by byl udelal mrzutost, natisuje, jak se musi nyni getriti, s cirn ov:Sem ona nesouhlasila, syygujic svou peel o clomilcnost i hospoda•stvi.

"A2 se dire narodi, vezmenie si sem deti z Rahova," prohlasila •esolutne.

"Musi vedeti, Se path k rodiny a Se Sena, ktera pojala jejich otce, vi, co je jeji povinnosti. Miletice uSivi deti dost, a rod Dumata Ternera nesmi nikdy bYti posk y rnen yVtkou, Se z neho vySly deti, kterYm rodiee nedali takovela° vychovani, aby se staly dobrYmi lidmi."

"Tak, Term, tak," schvaloval farma • . "I ja jsem byl z eetne rodiny a Sadny z rids nechodi 2ebrotou, a Sadny z nas nebyl clan do vezeni pro neco neeestneho. Naprecl si odbude'S svou teSkou hodinu a potom k narozenemu diteti ptibudou druhe dve, aby naMy sve hnizdo a ueily se svou novou matku miti rady."

Vladimir nerikal nic, ale vrouci jeho objeti a polibeni, kterYm sve Sene dekoval, bylo vYnaluvriel gi nci?. slova. Dojat vySel ven a ani tchan ani Sena ho nerr.rsili, rozumejice mu a ctice jeho clu zjevni hlubiny, ye kterY.ch se kryly vznominky na velike niterne sapasy boles-h.

JenSe Teresa rmisila pi. ejmouti sve povinnosti k Mem drive, ne2 jak lirNH. Vladimir se chystal, Se ye volne chyili napi:Se do Rahova, kdy hodla pro deti zajeti, ale pro stale horeene samestnani dopis de nze dne odklacial.

Potom vgak ptiglo dutklive pozvani rodiai TerezinYch, kteti si stelovali, jak na no dcera zapornina, Tak dlouho je jiS v Oecha.ch, cela tada ptibuznYch ji navgtivila, ale ona sama nena11a si ani chvile, aby Se prisla podivati na svitj domov a obejmouti se s terni, kdo jsou ji nejblizsi. Take Ternera zvali, poukazujice na to, ze ted' bude prave doba, kdy v hospodatstvi je volno, a kdy budou tedy moci z MP_etic pdejiti. Tereza byla dojata, stesk po rodiaich se v ni ozval, a ye svem du gevnim zmatku donesla strYci list k pteeteni.

Pozorne preeetl, zamyslil se a pctom se laskave pousmai.

"OM maji pravdu," povidal dobracky. "Dcera je dcera a maji pra y° i ptieinu k vytkam. Zajed'te si tarn."

"Pojedeg s nami?" tazala se rozveselujic se.

"Ne, ja s nikYin nepojedu,' zaVrtel razne hlavou. "Ja pattirp do jineho sveta a v me du gi je uz neco jineho, neZ ye va gi. Zajedu si tam, ale sam, abych progel minulosti a vyvolal si stare dojmy, ktere ye mile dtimaji. MA se vratite, sam si vyjedu ben ohla geni, projdu napted celYm krajem, podivam se na mista, kam jsem chodIval, yypatram, kdo z myth vrstevnikil je jegte naZivu, a potom teprve zajedu k buznYrn.

Na. nadrali je dal dovesti a potorn zamy'Slene chbdil po dvore i polich. PredstavoVal si •radost Terezinu, savist soused0 a spokojenost phbuznych, molioucich se pochlubiti samanymi manZeli.

Mladi rneli bYti vgzdaleni pet an lest dni, protote by ptibuzenstvo bylo smrtelne uraZ'enO, kdyby je v gechny nepti gli naVgtiviti, a nedali se pohostiti.

Bylo to ttetiho dne po odchodu mladYch, kdyz pro neho ptibehli ze dvora.

Ptijel pry nejaky pan se clvema detmi a musi pry' nutne s nim hovotiti.

"Tegi me, pane statkari," uklonil se.

"Slygel jsem 0 vas, nevim v gak, budete-li moci mi vyhoveti. Je mi velmi nemile, Ze pan Dumat neni doma, phvezl jsem mu jeho deti."

Lekee sed nada — Lesson 17 Mnoine eislo Formina: plurals The nominative plural of masculine animate nouns has, for both hard and soft stems, the ending i, which softens the hard consonants before it. vojak — vojaei had — hadi Cech — eeSi cert — Certi doktor — doktoEi pani pan There are 2 other endings for animate masculine nouns in the nom. pl.

— ove — personal names, such as Va.clavove, 'which means several people with the name Vacla y. Other exampies: Ital — Italove Cech — either Srb Srbove CeSi or (one syllable Cechove names) pan — pa,nove syn — synove Polak —Polsici amid ad'ar — Glen — Oeuvre hiskup biskopove Mad'ari filosof — filosofove There is much fluctuation in the usage of the plural i and ove. Perhaps one rule of thumb to follow is to use the ove form when speaking and writing formally.

All nouns ending in —tel, denoting office, position, or occupation, are made plural by the simple addition of C. Examples: ileac! — ueitele pohan — pohani) stavitel stavitele andel andele °bean obeane host —hosts krajan krajane tide AmeriCan — soused — sousede Amerieane elovek — tide Slovan Slovane mantel - manielo(exception: ye or maniele Gernnin, Germani (Nouns ending in ista): houslista — housliste SaeltiAa :':;achiste pianista pianiste, n•atele There are a number of nouns, that usually go in pairs, such as

brYle, etc., somewhat like our 'words, sheep, deer, etc. There is no singular form for these words. Examples: noviny penize kalhoty saty ItleSte housle niizky rodiee dveie hodiny Proper names, places, countries, etc.: Cechy Vanoce Marianske Lazne Velikonocc narozeniny Teplite jmeniny Karlovy Vary Feasts: There exist some of the old dual number plural in Czech: ruka koleno — kolena ruce noha — nohy oko oei prs — prsa ucho rameno — ramena Exercise Write the nominative plural of these 'words: brat'. chlap e pritel sestra kupee AmeriCan houslista soused Form, sentences of your oWn with the plural of these words: Robert vojak uCitel filosof stavitel Cech pan °bean syn host Chen soused mantel Pronounce all the words OUT LOUD. Be sure and look up all words you don't know the meaning of. Translate the sentence you 'write in Czech into English.
