Listen . .

There is this famous anecdote about the art of conversation from a northern university professor. A freshman asked him one day why there were no courses in the art of good conversation at the university. "I'd like to learn the art," said the freshman. The professor replied, "You can learn the art in two minutes. Just listen. I'll tell you what it is."

A rather lengthy period of silence followed and the impatient student couldn't stand it any longer. "Well," he said, "I'm listening."

"Good!" the prof answered. "You're learning already!"

• The Person Out Front. . . • The lieutenant, or sergeant out in front of his men leading them into battle is the most likely to get shot at. He presents a better target.

So it is with so much of our activities: the person who is out front doing things is the one most likely to be a target for snipers and criticism. It's always been that way. The person who never does anything will most likely never be the object of criticism because there simply isn't anything to criticize him or her about. The late Speaker of the Us House of Representatives, Sam Rayburn, said that "you'll never be criticized for what you did not say or do. That special favor is reserved for those who are out front trying to get things done." President Garfield put it this way: "Things don't

The back-bencher has the easiest task of all: he sits idly by, observing the work of others, and after the errors are found, hastens to point them out. The back-bencher doesn't receive any criticism because he d idn't do anything. How nice . . .

unless you stick your neck out. Sniping, griping, and criticism will always be with us. All of these aside, however, it remains a fact that things will get done by those who are willing to get out front and do them.

Finally, we are reminded of those words by Calvin Coolidge: "Few men are lacking in capacity, but they fail because they are lacking in application."

• • In business, what does it take to make a man successful?

Nation's Business editors queried educators, management consultants and top men in industry and came up with this composite "portrait" of the successful executive: He has integrity, moral soundness, intellectual honesty; He has the ability to foresee change and to prepare for it; He has insight Into himself and the good sense to recognize his limitations; He has a genuine ability to lead, to command the loyalty of others; He sees problems and changes in the round and is not blinded by their separate parts.

Most respondents emphasized that no one quality could guarantee executives success, but success was usually the result of a combination of these strengths.

mated that approximately 3,500 to 3,800 people attended the affair. The outdoor events that drew the most spectators were the Sokol gymnastic exhibition and the Eeseda dancers.

Even though many of us have seen these performances many times, there are still hundreds of people who have never witnessed either or both of these presentations. Tbe brass band, playing authentic Czech arrangements did much credit to Czech musical tradition. The public was impressed with this nu:steal performance. The membership at Lodge 66 deserves much credit for their very hard work and desire to preserve some of our ancestors' customs and traditions. There can be no doubt about it . , we put our best foot forward on Sept. 3rd.

The next big attraction that has been an annual tradition for many years is the Czech Day at the State Fair in Dallas on Oct. 8th. Plans have been underway for some time now, under the leadership of Bro. John Bubak. Czech-Texans and their many friends are expected to crowd the walkways of the State Fair on Sunday, Oct. 8th.

Cost of Life Insurance The cost of life insurance protection to a policyholder depends upon his or her choice of plan, amount of coverage. and upon such factors as age, occupation, and general health. Underlying all these factors are three basic factors: death rates among policyholders, earnings on the insuring company's investments, and finally, the company's operating expenses.

The death rate for the population of the US has remained at about the same level for more than a decade. On the basis of figures for the whole population, the death rate was 7.4 deaths per thousand in IP65, when the latest fhures are friallable. Dpi ring the first half of this centur y there was a sharp decline in the death rate. Advances in medicine were chiefly responsible for this improvement. There are fewer deaths at young and middle ages, so that more peoplq now live into their sixties and seventies.

The net rate of return on life insurance companies' invested assets rose to 4.73 per cent in 1986. That average figure is after investment expenses, but before federal income taxes. More and more companies have been putting a bigger share of their assets in to investments that provide

Wednesday, September 13, 1967 , higher yields, such as industrial bonds, stocks, and real estate mortgages.

The ratio of US life companies' operating costs to their total income remained about stable in 1966. Like most other businesses, life insurance companies experienced a rising trend in o p erating costs after WW II. Since then, costs have continued to rise, but at about the same rate as receipts, despite the use of data processing equipment.

INSTITUTE OF TEXAN CULTURES

108 E. 17th St. — Telephone GR 86415 Austin, Texas 78701 IDE PEOPLE OF TEXAS — FIRST PRESENTATION OF THE: INSTITUTE' (Continued) Exhibit During IfemisFair Tells Who Came, When, Where They Settled and What They Contributed to the State's Development Due to a singular circumstance of time and space, Texas is heir to an amazingly rich and complex cultural herita g e. This vast land area, with its rich soils and healthful climate, was thrown open for settlement at a time when people from many lands were seeking sanctuary from political oppression, relief from economic disaster, or simply enough room in which to live and grow. Texas land was plentiful, and unlike that in other unsettled areas, it was free.

The story of the people who came to Texas in those early clays, and are still coming in amazing numbers from all over the world, will be told to HemisPair visitors in 1968 by the State's official exhibit. This is a warmly human story of adventures and enterpreneurs, imp overished peasants and wealthy noblemen, hardy frontiersmen and idealistic scholars. It will be told in individual human terms.

Studies made by the Institute staff show that 25 major groups, each with a distinct cultural heritage. came together to lay the foundation for the Texas of today. On the main exhibit floor, approximately the size and shape of a football field, each of these groups will have its own area: in which the story of this type of TeXans and their contributions to• the development of Texas will be shown.

An attempt has been made to find who was the first of each kind of Texan to come; who followed from his homeland, why and how. Some came as organized parties or in subsidized colonies, while others came

V2STNtit

singly, on their own. Some settled in tight ethnic clusters, retaining to this day an old -world flavor in their communities. The Germans of Fredericksburg and New Braunfels, the Norwegians 0 . f Norse, the Danes of Dannevang and the Poles of Parma Maria are examples. Others, like the English, Scotch and Irish, scattered through the population and were quickly assimilated.

Tracing the flow of immigration by each group, the exhibits show the evidences still clear on the Texas scene of their origins and their impact. Always the story is told, as much as possible, in the terms of individuals, showing the contributions of each group to Texas by telling of the significant accomplishments of outstanding individuals from that group. There were only a few Dutch who came to Texas, for example, but the whole course of Texas history was changed by a single Dutchman — an absconding tax collector from the Netherlands who posed in the new world as the Baron de Bastracp.

Even Texans will be due some surprises when they look at the plain historic record of who they are and where they came from. Contrary to popular legend, the Irishman, the Englishman, the Italian and the Negro were playing their roles in Texas history centuries before the first Anglo-American crossed the Sabine. The first Jew in Texas history was Gasper de Sosa, governor of the State of Spanish Mexico, who led an expedition across West Texas in 1590. The oldest continuous settlement in Texas is that of the Tiguas, who were brought to the Yesleta area, near El Paso in 1680. They are still there.

An examination of any single phase of Texas' development shows the molding of forces from many heritages to make Texas what it has become. In the oil business, it was a native of Virginia, Tol Barrett, who drilled the first producing well; a Czech immigrant, Anthony Lucas (Luchlick) who brought in the Spindletop gusher; and the grandson of a Polish settler, Harry Weiss, who was one of the most powerful figures in Texas oil circles in modern times. Among leaders of the Texas oil business today are the descendants of immigrants from many lands.

The State capitol building, designed in the shape of a Greek Cross, was planned by an arcniteet with a Ger-

3 man name, working for a syndicate which was refinanced by the British.

The stone-cutters were imported from Scotland, much of the labor force was Irish and the ornamental scroll-work throughout the building was designed and cast by Czechs. At least 90 per cent of the statuary on the Capitol grounds was produced by a Texan of Italian birth, Pompeo Copini. The marble statues in the rotunda were the work of a lady of German ancestry, Elizabeth Ney, who came from Austria to lead Texas artistic circles for half a century. Nb one knows positively who created the statue of the Goddess of Liberty atop the Capitol dome, but it is attributed to a Belgian.

Each of the separate exhibit areas is being designed to give some feeling of the type of people it represents. In structure, design, and through background music or sound, it will create an atmosphere ,emphasizing the factual story told by its pictures and relics.

In each area there will be full use of movement and color, with slides and self-contained movie units, to add life aaiu ulaina to the more static showings.

A central dome, sixty by eighty feet in ammeter and two stories tall, will contain the dramatic highlight of the show. This is an ultra-modern film aria slide presentation, using 36 screens. The viewer will find himself surrounded by movies and slide sequences depicting events which show cue varied groups making up the Texas population. Such colorful events as the blessing of the shrimp fleet at Galveston, tile annual ceremonies of the Tiguas at Yesleta, and "A Night in Old Fredericksburg" will flash across the wide-screen area, while interesting details from these ceremonies are seen simultaneously on surrounding small screens. The entire show is synchronized and will have its own accompanying music.

This type of presentation, first viewed in 3-scene, then 7-scene shows at previous World's Fairs, has created much excitement and interest. This is the first such production to be shown in a full 360-degree dome.

Every visitor to the State's exhibit will find an instant kinship with at least one portion. The ethnic spread is so wide that it will include at least a part of the heritage of each individual.

He will see the contributions his people have made to the building of Texas and recognize that they, along with

4

VtSTNiK

many others, will determine the future of the State.

The major groups to be represented in the Texas story will include: Indians, Spaniards, Italians, Frenchmen, Irishmen, Englishmen, Germans, Slay s (Czechs), Negroes, Anglo-Americans, Swedes, Scots Danes, Dutchmen, Mexicans, Greeks, Jews, Japanese, Gypsies, Lebanese, Chinese, poles, Norwegians, Swiss, and Portugese.

(The End) —SPJSTNEW OPPORTUNITIES IN

HIGHER EDUCATION

By Calvin C. Chervenka, Vice-President, Czech ft-Students Association of Texas (Continued) The Effects of Sputnik and NDEA After the Russians placed the first satelite in orbit in 1957, many people suspected that we were behind them in scientific knowledge and the Congress reacted by passing the National Defense Education Act of 1958 (NDEA). This law provided federal funds to strengthen instruction in the sciences, mathematics, and other critical subjects on the high school and college levels. The emphasis at that time was almost completely on the pure or basic sciences and engineering.

In the next five years, education in the sciences and engineering advanced greatly under the NDEA program, but Some previously unrecognized problems revealed theMselves more clearly.

As the scientists made new advances and the engineers necessarily became more oriented toward the "science of engineering" rather than the "art of engineering," the gap between the scientist-engineer and the skilled craftsman widened. The needs for retraining the formerly skilled craftsman and for the training of a new technician, whose job would lie between that of the scientist-engineer and the skilled craftsman, became very apparent.

The seriousness of the situation may be described by a story concerning the early missiles being readied for launching at Cape Kennedy. The new designs in electrical wiring were so complex that, reportedly, it was often necessar y for the engineer to hold the blueprint and explain to the skilled electrician what wiring was to be done.

The need for a specially trained technician who could understand •the de-

sign of the engineer's blueprints and who could superviSe or do the wiring was clearly apparent.

As educators took a closer look at the Russian system of education, it became apparent that their engineers really were not all the same kind of engineers as our engineers. A great many of them were the products of Russian technicums, 2-year technical institutes, and were in effect equivalent to our engineering technicians which were in very limited supply.

These engineering technicians, and other types of technicians in other fields, were deemed to have played a great part in the early and rapid technological progress which Russia had made in space exploration.

The Transition By 1963 the need for federal assistance to VT education was realized by congress and the "Vocational Education Act of 1963" --- Public Law 88210 was passed. This became the enabling law which has caused the present great activity and generally widespread development of VT education in Texas.

Although its detailed provisions are tod complex for discussion here, the law provides generally that the federal government, through the state administration of an approved VT program, will provide 75 per cent of the funds for new buildings, instructional equipment, and teachers salaries if some unit of the state's educational system will provide the other 25 per cent of the cost.

Since the liberal arts college does not consider VI` education as its proper function and since training for the prefessionS is now provided by professional schools, the junior colleges have been left with the bulk of the responsibility for special education in those fields requiring more training than high school, yet less than that required for the recognized professions.

In Texas there are over 35 public junior colleges and these are about the only branch of our public educational system which offers a broad enough base for meeting the VT training needs of the state.

Mr. John R. Guemple, former Director of Program Development for Texas Junior Colleges and now the State Commissioner for Vocational Education, stated in February,. 1966, that Texas has a backlog need for 18,000 technicians who could be placed immediately-if they were available.

Wednesday, September 13, 1967 Although there has been much activity at the junior colleges of Texas in the erection of buildings and planning of VT programs of instruction, the number of technicians produced thus far has been less than the increased need. In 1 g 67-68, however, many Texas public junior colleges will be entering their second or third year of participation in the program and the output of trained VT specialists is expected to show a sizable increase.

As these programs in each of the colleges begin to bear fruit, the surrounding area will feel the impact.

With more highly trained workers available, more and more industry will find its way into the area, boosting the economy, requiring additional VT programs, and in many cases supplying the teachers to teach these new VT skills.

"College Level" 1967 While some people may still hold to the interpretation of higher education described in the first part of this article, things have changed greatly in the last five years and the coming 1967 fall semester finds many new programs at most junior colleges and some other institutions throughout Texas.

Many junior colleges have VT programs in such fields as air-conditioning and refrigeration, auto mechanics, business and office occupations, data processing, drafting and design, electronics, medical assisting, radio and TV servicing, chemical, electrical power, mechanical, and civil and highway.

Some colleges have such specialized VT programs as aircraft repair and maintenance, baking, dental assisting, instrumentation, fire service, food service, mortuary science, law enforcement, printing, plastics, radiation, welding, metallurgical, and others.

Although junior colleges will have the . greatest number o fopenings for students in the various VT programs, James Connally Technical Institute at Waco, which was created by the legislature in 1965, has a wide variety of highly specialized VT programs. Schools such as the University of Houston and Arlington State are still leading among the four-year schools which offer VT programs.

If you are interested in learning more about the VT programs available at your nearest or preferred college or university, contact the registrar or counselor at that institution. He will be ,glad to give you additional in-

Wednesday, September 13, 1967 formation and . tell you of the things you need to do to enroll for the coming fall semester.

The size of the classes in VT programs has to be kept to a small number so that the instruction can be most effective. This fact, coupled with the large number of hours per day the student spends in class and the limited supply of teachers, is keeping the number of openings in certain VT programs limited. However, if day classes have been filled when you try to en—, roll, consider going to evening classes.

Although the percentage of high school graduates who attended college varies greatly, it has averaged only about 30 per cent in the Central Texas area. It is hoped that the new opportunities in VT training in the junior colleges will open the door to a higher education to at least another 30 per cent of our high school graduates.

The admission to the stew dinner is open to all members and to members of their family who reside in their home. For example, where only one member of a family is a member of this lodge, whether it be the father, mbther, or their child, invitation is extended to the entire family.

Make your plans today, and keep the date in mind. We may not give any other reminder, and you could miss it.

vEsTrrix SCENES FROM LODGE PICNIC — LODGE 38, KOVAR

-SP.IST-CZECE: DAY AT THE STATE FAIR Another colorful Czechoslovak Day will be celebrated at the State Fair of Texas, Oct. 8th, 1967. The program is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Coliseum, and at the Band Shell for the afternoon program, where you will be entertained until 9 p.ni.

Colorful costumes and a friendly spirit will be in evidence when thousands of Czechs take over the Fair Grounds for the day. It is expected that it will be the largest assembly of colorful costumes hi the history of Czech Days at the State Fair. Blue and red ribbons will be given to persons having original and custom-made costumes. The judging will be in the Band Shell after the coliseum program at 2 p.m.

The Beseda dance will be one of the outstanding features of the day. Bes-

Ready to serve! L to R: Sisters Stepan, Zimmerhanzel, Malina, Elsie-,.Barina, Stolle, and Evicie.

The '"ehow" line has just started:

8 eda circles are now being organized all over the state for the colorful day.

If you have a Beseda circle, you are welcome to take part in the. program.

The Sokols are in good training after the National Slet, and will have interesting exhibitions. You will note how necessary it is for young people to have physical exercise.

A Czech Day without a children's dance would be incomplete. It will be interesting' to see the youngsters dancing with joyful spirit. Watching them dance will give them couraae and confidence.

Again the oldest gentleman and lady in attendance will reign as king and queen for the day. Each will receive a nice trophy — a keepsake to be proud of.

New for the Czech Day: any person 75 years of age or over is entitled to receive a free ticket to the Fair Grounds on Czech Day. However, it will be necessary to write for the ticket before Oct. 8, 1967. Just send us your name and address and age, and a ticket will be mailed to you. Don't wait too long.

There will be other interesting features in the Czech Day Program that you will want to see and enjoy. You will see friends from all over. More next time.

Your reporter, Stella Baleja — SPJST--LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Members, The Sammy Kaye semi-formal dance on Oct. 25th is sure to be one of the outstanding events of the year, judging by the number of phone calls the lodge has been getting since the dance was announced! Don't delay making your reservations, for they will go fast starting this Wednesday. It seems that everybody wants to be there to "swing and sway with Sammy Kaye" on Wednesday, Oct. 25th!

We have a. good orchestra for this Saturday, one that you have enjoyed twice at our lodge. That is Tee Tiemann of Yorktown, and it is the orchestra that plays very good mixed music. If you want to know more about Tee Tieinann ask Herman Liebscher and he will be glad to tell you how good they are!

Don't forget our Thursday Spaghetti Suppers from 6 to 8 p.m., and the social that follows. Then after the social there is always something special going on in the Blue. Room!

NAMES IN THE NEWS: Congratulations go to Mike Tumis of Lodge 142, another State winner from our District! The SPJST received some more publicity in the Houston papers, when the Houston Chronicle had a picture of Bonnie Cox and a nice write-up about her getting elected State Queen!

There were many guests at the Knights of Dixie dance in spite of many being away for the holidays, and Rudy and Agnes Lesak and helpers Jean and Gloria Harvan and Gertrude Schulgtn had charge of it! Our treasurer, Jerry Ermis, is a faithful worker; he was one of those good vocalists on that bus to Elm Mott! Our thanks go to ,Mary and Frank Tilich for that delightful weekend we had at Honeymoon Lodge on LBJ Lake; other lodge members there were: Louise, Mary Louise and Ed Kadlecek, Pearl and Ernest Hanka, Rosa Lee Ruland, Tim Kostom, Frances and Frank Olexa, Olita and Louis Hanus, Mrs. Garrett, Ann, Gilbert and Diane Polnick, Evelyn and Bill Vornsand, and Grace, Ro-

Fraternally, Entertainment Committee —SPJST--SOKOL HOUSTON

Dear Members and Friends: For the first time at the Falcon Ballroom, the Sil Krenek Orchestra from Wallis will be featured on Saturday, Se p t. 16, playing all of your favorite polkas and dancing music. Visit us and see the popular bands we have entertaining at the club-. Bring the family and enjoy a night out with the crowd.

Many have asked why we named our hall- Falcon Ballroom. You may remember that the old building had a plaque of a falcon with its wings spread out over an emblem of the Sokol Organization. This plaque was made by a number of members and artists when a conference was held at the hall in the fifties during their leisure. When the new building was constructed we wanted to carry forward some memento of the first building and this being the only Sokol emblem in our possession, it was decided this would be appropriate. The old plaque was faded and colorless. We had Brother Frank Dvorak, an artist by trade, re-touch and re-work the faithful bird. He did such a splendid job-, giving it such artistic prominence, that when it was hung we decided to name our hall the Falcon Ballroom. The- word "Sokol" means falcon in the Czech language and it is the formal emblem of the organization. Another strange event

10 of fate is that Brother Dvorak was a member of the first Sokol Houston team to be represented in competition held in Seaton, Texas in 1926, and this team won first place honors. Other members of the team were Jerry \Todehnal, John Dvorak, Frank Rachac, Frank Olexa, and John Chladek.

Sokol has some big affairs for the rest of the year. About the biggest event will be the Sokol Circus on Oct. 29th. Then on Nov. 12th, Sokol will serve its annual turkey dinner and conclude the day with a dance. A preThanksgiving dance will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 22, with Jimmy Brosch furnishing the music for dancing until the early nart of the morning.

It is not too late or too early to become a member of a growing Sokol organization. Join a world-wide group where heritage and tradition still are recognized.

Naular!

Emil Kuropata.

LODGE NO. 06, WACO Dear Fellow Members: We have just returned from a trip to the Wilber, Nebraska Czech Festival to which we have been invited several times by our friends in Nebraska. We left here at 4 a.m. Friday morning in company with Bro. and Sis. Jos. and Marie Janecka and arrived in Wilber at 5:45 p.m., a distance of 724 miles.

While traveling through Oklahoma we were traveling through scattered rain which made our trip more comfortable since it was cool. Our first stop was at beautiful Turner Falls, just north of Ardmore, Oklahoma and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery there very much. Our next stop was for lunch and gas at Perry, Oklahoma, and finally, we crossed into Kansas where we got on their Toll Highway and we followed that at an 80-mile clip to El Dorado, where we switched to Highway 77 and followed it through Junction City, Fort Riley, and through Marysville into Nebraska and Beatrice.

From Junction City we began to travel through an area of cattle farms.

Rainfall must have been ample as the grass was two feet high and some of the finest Hereford herds grazing everywhere, now and then a black polled Angus herd, beautiful farmsteads, everything in tip-top shape, which is evidence that farmers in those areas are prosperous. Some 20 miles south of the Nebraska border the farming

VESTNIK changed from beef cattle to corn farms and the further north we went the greater the prosperity was in evidence. Many Czech names began to appear on the rural mail boxes as well as German names and the farms became more beautiful. In Nebraska they have the same kind of weather we have here in April, 85 degrees during the day and as low as 55 at night. Corn is now in the silking stage and thousands of acres in all directions. Most of this is under irrigation and will run from 100 to 150 bushels per acre, depending on how much fertilizer is used. From Beatrice, a city of some 60,000, we traveled west to Wilber, where everyone was busy getting ready for the next day and the start of the festivities.

Our room was out in the country and the instructions how to find it were so thorough that we did not even stop in Wilber and ask directions but drove right on through to the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Herman three miles north and drove right in where other people were getting ready to unload. We met a couple from Berwyn, Ill., and another from California whose names we don't remember. Mrs. Herman showed us graciously to our room and we unloaded, washed the dust off and drove to Crete, Nebraska to eat.

There were friendly faces everywhere and after eating 'we went back to our rooms and went to sleep. The next day we again went to Crete to eat and from there we headed west to Dorchester and our Friends Alfred and Theresa Cochnat. Since the festivities were to begin at 2 p.m., we thought that would be our best opportunity to visit with them. We found them at home. They have a very lovely farmstead some miles- from Dorchester, all under irrigation. We met some of their friends from Yukon, Oklahoma, and while visiting Mr. Cochnar asked U. S if we would like to see how their irrigation works, so we drove out to his well and looked .over his system of irrigating his fields. Their wells are deep and large engines run day and night to keep the puMps going and the corn growing.. At- about 11 a.m. we took leave of these fine people and went back to Wilber to try one of their advertised duck dinners, and after standing in line for about an hour we finally got to the serving table and I can assure you -that it was worth waiting for the generous serving of Y''Knedliky and 4elf," , dressing, and halt a duck,..thA was specially raised

Wednesday, September 13, 1907 for the festival and it was a real treat. Shortly after eating, the Saturday parade started and we were waiting and wondering what it would be like.

The parade started at exactly 2 p.m., as advertised, and as it began to unroll it left us breathless with the sheer beauty and interest it had for everyone. The parade, we were told, had 137 entries and lasted an hour and forty-five minutes and would have been an outstanding credit to a city as big as Dallas of San Antonia. The population of Wilber is only 1,360. After the parade everyone congregated on some four blocks of main street which was blocked off from traffic and displays in the windows were examined and people visited with old friends and made new friends. Everyone wore a bright smile; Czech music could be heard from every corner.

We were invited to a Czech wedding dance some 50 miles north of Wilber where we drove after eating supper.

Our friends Alfred and Theresa Cochnar who own the U-Neta Orchestra were playing for the wedding dance.

They played for us here at Linden Hall twice and we wanted to hear them again. They are tops in music at home, as well as they were when they played for us here and we enjoyed hearing them again very much. We were real tired so we left early after giving them a promise to come out the next morning and see their museum at Dorchester. The next morning we drove to Wilber for breakfast and after breakfast we admired the many window displays. After our window-gazing we drove to Dorchester and Mrs. Cochnar had some of the best coffee ready. After coffee we drove to Dorchester to see their museum which was already open for us. Right here I want to say that this museum would be a credit to any city with a population over 100,000, yet it is located in a little town of some 350 people. It has a beautiful building, built especially for the museum, and inside spotlessly clean and neat. The display in this muserm is out of this world, just about any kind of pioneer relic you can possibly think of and to the people of both Wilber and Dorchester I extend our hearty congratulations on a job WELT, DONE! Mr. and Mrs. Cochnar left us at the museum and -drove back home to prepare a dinner for us and what a dinner that was. After a thorough inspection we drove back to

Wednesday, September 13, 1967 their lovely home and had dinner with them which we enjoyed very much.

After dinner we drove back to Wilber and the second day of festivities, which started with an even greater parade. After the parade most of us went to see the richly-prepared program at the Court House. The east side was covered with benches and some 10,000 people in attendance, including ex-Governor Morrison and his lovely wife who also sang a Czech song.

Governor Tiemann introduced his family to the audience with a friendly crack at the Wilber people that Wilber was not one of his political strong holds, and this brought on a ;hearty laugh from everyone. The program consisted of 22 lovely numbers and was emceed by Dr. Vladimir Kucera, professor of Slavonic Languages at the University of Nebraska, and Mr. Bernard J. Kiasek. The entire program was taped by Mr. Kocourek from_ the Voice of America, Washington, D.C. It was also taped by Mr. John Slaby of Omaha and will be broadcast to Czechoslovakia via Radio Free Europe.

After this program most of the people left the courthouse lawn and melted into the tremendous crowds on the main street, which was estimated to be between 35,000 and 40,000. Seeing this crowd the estimate was conservative.

Happy faces were evident in every direction of this massive crowd. We finally bid farewell to our friends and drove out to our room and started packing for our return home. After a good night's sleep we .got up at 4 a.m. and started the long trip home by another route to see more of the country. Boon after we entered Kansas on Highway 81 we found typical Texas country and felt more at home. Our trip back home was uneventful and we tool . our time, arriving home at 5:30 p.m. where we found everything in order.

In conclusion, we would like to say to those who want to spend a. wonderful weekend to start planning now to visit the next Nebraska Czech Festival at Wilber, which will again be held the first weekend in August, 1068, and we assure you that you, will not regret going.

Fraternally yours, Otto and Matilda. Harms —SPJSTAlong costal areas of North and South Carolina, are milies and miles of shallow crater-liike depressions, the origin of which has never been fully

---SPJST13Y-LAW RECOMMENDED CHANGES

AND PROPOSALSMAILING THE "VESTNIK" TO MEMBERS

Article 54 (b) of the By-Laws adopted in 1964 is stated in a reverse and negative way that is probably costing the SPJST close to $8,000 annually. This is by members receiving the Vestnik who _do not care to receive the publication.

The above statement is based on the following facts: The membership who live in the seven (7) multi-zip code cities of Texas were required to send in their zip code for Mailing, as now required for 2nd class mail. The members who live in cities or towns with only one zip code had their zip code added to their address automatically, whether they did or did not send in their zip code.

In November 1966 there were approximately 3,445 issues of the Vestnik being sent to Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Waco. Of this number, eleven hundred and fifty (1,150) members did not send in their zip code. The Vestnik was stopped from being sent to these members who did not send in their zip code number. Over eight months later only 237 wrote in requesting to be put back on the mailing list. There are still 918 of the 1,150 who have not requested to have the Vestnik sent to them. Not .mailing the Vestnik to these 918 who do not care for it is saving the SPJST $3,500 a year.

Now consider that there are approximately 7,000 issues of the Vestnik being sent to cities and towns with only one zip code. If the same percentage (27%) of members in these cities and towns do not care for the Vestnik as in the seven multi-zip code cities, ,then we are still sending out another 1,800 issues that go untouched straight to the wastebasket. This is a little better than one out of every four members who are receiving them, who have no interest in the issue, and based on our current cost of the Vestnik, ($7,300 annually), which is almost $30,000 every four years.

Stud y the aboVe and then see if you don't think the by-law should read as follows: The SupreMe Lodge in January fellow-Mg each convention will send a

12

VESTNtK

postcard to each member receiving the Vestnik asking the member if he wishes to continue receiving the Vestnik. If he does not return the card by March 1st of the same year showing that he wishes to continue receiving the Vestnik then that member would be taken off the Vestnik mailing list.

Any member who wishes to receive the Vestnik will take the time to return the card, but very few members who do not want the issue will bother to return the card.

The Vestnik costs the SPJST each year as follows: 1966 - $40,623 1965 - $40,153 1964 - $35,337 So we believe that you should take time to study and consider this proposal.

YOUTH SECTION FROM THE OFFICE OF THE STATE YOUTH DIRECTOR

NOTICE, PLEASE ! ! !

Will the person or person who removed the display poster from the registration desk at the State YAD, please return them to the Supreme Lodge, SPJST. The poster is needed for other projects, besides being part of a permanent display in the home office.

The poster represents the first place that took many years of competition with other fraternals to receive.

James J. Janousek, State Youth Director ABOUT OUR YOUTH From about 70 State YAD participants in 1965 to over 130 participants in 1966, to 258 participants at the 1967 State YAD, no one can deny that we have grown! There was some stiff competition this year and anyone who attended State can be proud of ALL our fine youth! The increase in participants can be attributed to the fact the contests have been expanded to take care of our increase in active youth membership, which is well over 1200 at this time, compared to a little over 400 in 1965. We are providing more for our youth and the increase in activity and interest on the part of our

youth proves that these moves were necessary. With any affair of this magnitude, there will naturally be some shortcomings and areas for improvement next year. Careful analysis of the State YAD and its procedure were noted and every attempt will be made through recommendations of the District Youth Directors to improve next year's State YAD. Consideration of changes will be among the issues discussed on Sept. 30th in Temple when the seven District Youth Directors meet with the State Youth Director to formulate recommendations for your improvement to the Supreme Lodge.

Every idea, suggestion, etc., that is mentioned to improve the Youth Department will be discussed and the final recommendation will be in the best interest of all the youth from all over the state.

We have grown and every member has the right to be proud of the fact that our younger generation - the future of SPJST, is taking an active and contributing interest in SPJST. If you ask the youth WHY they are interested you will find that it goes far beyond the monetary prizes offered. Many youth have told me that they are glad for these opportunities so they can be with their friends who live far away.

This is fact! Many non-members have attended these affairs and seeing what they are missing out on turn around and join the SPJST. Be proud of your youth; we have something to shout about!

State YAD Results Although mention is only made of our State YAD champions, we should all remember the participants who didn't win first place. They are the ones who gave the stiff competition, the hard time to the judges who came up with a final decision, and most important, the ones who made the YAD a success. Every youth gave creditable representation of his or her district, and win or loose, that is the greater honor. This year, there were only 6 ,youth who failed to show up for competition, for one reason or another, the lowest number ever, in a year of largest participation! Add to that the fact that in almost every contest the points of the first and last place were extremely close!

Before the registration desk closed at mid-day , there were almost 1,000 who had signed the registration book and there were many who failed to sign.

Add to this the fact that it was reported we ran out of name tags (there were 1,100) and this indicated the youth were very well supported! Estimates of near 1,000 were made previous to the big day, but no one dreamed we would reach the mark, much less exceed it as things seem to indicate!

THANK YOU, WONDERFUL MEMBERS for the support.

With such an overflow crowd, the diligent members of Lodge 66 should be commended on the fine and efficient way all was handled. The lodge committee was most cooperative to work with in preparing for the day. I do believe that the members of our hospitable host lodge were an inspiration and example of how a group can work together and what can be accomplished.

Credit for this day's success can 0 to many, but special thanks to Bro. and Sis. Mazanec for assisting our distant travelers to find motels, churches, etc. The coverage of our Yad via the Vestnik has been spectacular. All of the youth department are grateful to Bro. Morris for his cooperation and creativity in preparing the material for publication.

We can go on and on giving credit where credit is due, but as the saying goes, "the best is last" and that is credit and thanks to our diligent, devoted, cooperative and wonderful District Youth Directors for the work, and I do mean work, they did. It all reminds me of admiring a watch — how pretty it is — but it's what's behind the watch that counts! And the seven District Youth Directors were working like clock- work behind the scenes seeing that everything went according to plan.

I am certain that I express, in be-

VESTNIK half of every member of the Supreme Lodge, to whom we are all indebted for sponsoring this affair, a sincere thanks for the support you have given the Youth and the SPJST. It is a fine and worthwhile investment in the present, as well as the future.

Even greater things are in the making!

Yours very fraternally, James J. Janousek, State Youth Director Point Contest Rules were to have been printed in the Vestnik, but due to the length it will be impractical to do so.

Therefore, copies of the entire results will be sent to all youth leaders and assistants later this month. A limited number of additional copies will be available from the State Youth Director upon request.

---SPJST--FROM THE LODGE YOUTH LEADERS

LODGE NO. 48, BEYERSVILLE Dear Readers, The Labor Day weekend showed a lot of activity at the lodge hall. One of these was the regular monthly meeting, with most of the members attending.

Fraternally, Martha Sembera, Youth Leader —SPJSTLETTERS FROM THE YOUTH (Delayed) LODGE NO. 4, HALLETTSVILLE Dear Readers, Well, the SPJST State YAD is over.

There were quite a lot of winners.

There was crafts, talent, and Beseda winners.

This is the last week for summer vacation. A week from now school will start — nine months of school!

It's planting season here and we are working up our garden. We have a lot planted now. Well, that's all I have to say.

Fraternally yours, Sandra Sue Holy (10) —SPJSTLODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Members and Friends, To say that the State YAD was a "success" is an understatement. lb was wonderful.

My sincere thanks go to Brother James Janousek for his excellent artistry in the planning of a beautiful program; also to Brothers Edward Marek, Joe B. Hejny, Nick Morris, and all the supreme lodge officers for their backing of the youth.

I wish also to extend my sincere thanks to my District Youth Director, Mrs. Tillie Helmcamp, and my lodge youth leader, Mrs. Wanda Elzner, along with all of the youth leaders for their hard work.

To me, the State YAD holds the memory of the greatest day of my life. To see so many faithful members

14 gathered for the purpose of supporting the youth was inspiring. But I am truly g rateful to my fellow lodge members. Over one hundred of them came to give us support. Thank you, Lodge 88, I really do appreciate it.

It was wonderful being there, but the friendliness of the people was great.

Just shaking hands and talking to everyone after the contest made me feel lucky to have such friends. I hope to get to know all of you better.

Thank you, queen contestants, for being so warm and friendly. I just hope that I will have the opportunity of seeing all of you more often.

I would like to congratulate the new King, Ernie Makovy, and his Duke, Edward Helona. My little duchess, Jode Elzner, was just great. She continually gave me a boost when I needed it.

To last year's queen, Frances Jo Kudrna, go my warmest thanks .— for just being herself. Frances is someone everyone would want to be like. Her very personable attitude and beautiful sincerity encouraged me. During this coming year as state queen I will aim at working for the people of the SPJST and the youth, but most of all, to be as outgoing and wonderful as our past queen.

Fraternally, Bonnie Cox -SPJ LODGE NO. 56, CORPUS CHRISTI Dear Vestnik Readers, Last Sunday we went to the circus.

Items of Interest MOVER LIGHTING IS VITAL TO GOOD SIGHT Winter time is indoor time, and that means more reading, sewing, and studying than is usual during the summer m onths. Home furnishing specialists recommend that homemakers take a good look at their lighting fafilities.

Both general and high intensity lighting should be available for this type of work. General lighting reduces the harsh contrast between bright light and a dark room. which can strain and tire the eyes.

High intensity lights provide a concentrated area of light. Now on the market are Better Light Better Sight lamps, made by several manufacturers.

Each of the lamps must comply with the specifications of the Better Light Better Sight Bureau, which include lighting performance recommendations of the Illuminating Engineering Society. Tests arc made at the Electrical Testing Laboratories.

These lamps are especially good for children who have home study to do.

They give an even spread of light over the entire study area, using a 200 watt bulb with a diffuser.

Research shows that pencil work is harder to see than printing and needs this better light.

Lighting contributes to your comfort when you do close work. Before you start, conbider the following points to

see if your lighting is adequate.

1. Light that is diffused should be spread evenly over the entire work surface.

2. Shadows from hands and body should not fall on the work area.

3. Light bulbs should not be in direct view or cause a glare spot through the shade.

4. Light colored, non-glossy desk surfaces and back walls lessen discomfort from contrasts.

5. In addition to the work area, walls and ceiling should have sonic light on them.

TWAIN It was just 100 years ago, in 1867, that Mark Twain, famed American humorist and man of letters, published his first book, ''The Jumping Frog." It was a story which established his reputation as a writer of art and ability and carried his fame all over America.

Born Samuel L. Clemens 32 years before in Missouri, Mark Twain spent his childhood in Hannibal, a town on the Mississippi River, in surroundings winch he was later to immortalize in "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn."

After the death of his father when he was only 12, Mark Twain learned the printing trade and worked on his brother's newspaper in Hannibal, and later in eastern cities. In 1857, when he was 22; he set out for New Orleans, in quest of a fortune in South America, but instead became a pilot on the Mississippi River and remained one until the Civil War closed the river. He then went to Nevada where his brother had been appointed territorial secretary.

Here he combined mining and writing until he became a reporter in San Francisco. While still in Nevada, he began signing his articles "Mark Twain" — he had first used it several years before — a phrase signifying two fathoms of water, used by the pilots and leadsmen on the river boats on the Mississippi. The name soon became known up and down the Pacific coast and was used familiarly among his friends. In time the name , Samuel Clemens was almost forgotten.

In 1860 Mark Twain was employed by a. Sacramento newspaper to do a series of letters from the Sandwich Islands, as the Hawaiian Islands were then known. These letters proved notable and attracted wide attention. On his return lie scored his first success in his long career, as a humorous

lecturer, `1'lirec years later, th e article In' published on a journey to the Holy and were published as "Innocents Abroad" and were immediately pope About this time Mark Twain in Elmira, New York and settled in Hartford, Connecticut. Here he wrote his masterly recreations of his childhood, "The Adventures of Toni Sawyer," "Life on the Mississippi," "The Adventures of :Huckleberry Finn."

Many other books followed.

But successful writing did not prove a sure way to financial security. The failure of a publishing firm in which Mark Twain was a partner and his unsuccessful attempt to manufacture a newly invented typesetting machine plunged him into debt. He declared he would pay every dollar and at 60 set out on a lecture tour around the world.

In a sense it was a march of triumph.

Ultimately he was able to pay his debts in full and to reestablish a home Vn a hilltop in Connecticut, where he died in 1910, in his 75th year, honored as one of America's foremost men of letters, and one of her best known and best loved citizens.

In time 57 years since Mark Twain died, his books have continued to interest readers almost as widely as they did during his lifetime. His works have been issued again and again in editions ranging from expensive collections to paperbacks.

Some of his writings unissued during his life have been published and the University of California is now printing what is expected to fill sonic 16. volumes of material from his literary papers. Throughout the world his writings have been translated in -numerous foreign languages both with and without the permission of his literary executors. in recent years an actor, Hal Holbrook, dressed and made up to look like Mark Twain, has been touring the country, telling some of his stories and satires much as we may imagine Twain himself might have done during his years of lecturing. Holbrook has attracted thousands to his performances and . ultimately had millions watching and hearing him as he appeared on television. Currently on Broadway, New York City, a top-musical, The Apple Tree, is in part based on one of Mark Twain's humorous pieces, Eve's Diary.

Much of his writings relate to Americans. Mark Twain's style of humor was of so universal a nature that all
