min The Editor The 1971 Royalty pictures have finally arrived. We know you will be pleased to see them in this issue. The king's and queen's speeches appear in the youth section.

Many years of devoted service by SPJST members of Lodge 88 in Houston was celebrated in conjunction with the 53rd Anniversary of the founding of the First Czechoslovak Republic on Sunday, October 24.

The program for the clay included a delicious fried chicken dinner with all the trimmings at 11:30 a.m., followed by a live broadcast over Radio Station KFRD, with Joe carvanovic acting as host and. MastOr of Ceremonies was District V Director Ernest Hanka. Freddie Buri sang the national anthems in English and Czech, accompanied on the piano by Sister Naomi Kostom. Clarence Baca's Band rendered many beautiful numbers which were appropriate for the occasion. Bishop John Morkovsky and Supreme Lodge Presielteu t Nick Morris spoke briefly. Then both choral Groups Of Lodge No. 83 sang a few songs in Czech under the capable leadership Of Brother Tim. Kostom, accompanied on the piano by Sister Naomi Kostom. All of them were dressed in Czech costumes suitable for the event.

At approximately 2:45 the presentatation of plaques, an annual event, began. Certain seats were reserved for the honorees and their families. Second Vice President Emil Horelica opened the program, which was followed by introduction of the royal court by Youth Leader Marcell Malak. Presentation of speakers were by Queen Marian Kadlecek and King Lynn Lesak, while escorts, Prince Robert Fluellen, Laurie Mikes, Mary Whitsitt, and Mary Ann Horelica escorted in the following: First Vice President Ernest Hanka, President Tillie Helmcamp, Supreme Lodge President Nick Morris and the Honorable Mayor Louie Welch, to the speaker's table which Was beautifully decorated with a white tablecloth and red carnations.

ROYAL COURT, SPJST, FOR 1970-71. Pictured at this year's State Royalty Pageant are, Queen Candidates, seated, L to R: Nina Lednicky (9), Dist. I; Sally Sembera (153) VI; Pat Parma (130) III; Marian Kadlecek (88) V; Felicia Macha (157) IV; Connie Hrncir (117) VII, and Janette Hruska (47) II. King Candidates — Standing, L to R: James Prihoda (9) I; Anton Kaluza (6) III; Kenneth Sabrsula (58) VI — center, Retiring State Queen Patsy Hanna (58) VI and Retirir,-; State King Teddy Dusek (17) I — Mike Kaspar (27) II and Lynn Lesak (88) V. ceiveck. First Vice President Ernest Hanka introduced the Honorable Mayor of Houston, Louie Welch, who is also a member of Lodge 88 and he spoke and touched briefly on the Czechoslovak people and focused his thoughts on the pertinent affairs concerning the good behavior of the Czech people.

Then he made the presentation of the Proclamation for Czechoslovak Day in Houston to President Tillie Helmcamp.

In conclusion, the mayor sprinkled in a few words of humorous ingredients, then he excused himself because he had another commitment. After the eminent speaker adressed the assembly, he received loud applause and a standing ovation.

Brother Hanka introduced Supreme Lodge President Morris who addressed the audience, speaking of our Czech Heritage and customs and past history of our pioneers — in Czech and English.

Adding to the gleam of the prOV,-gram was the presentation of Honor Plaques by President Tillie Helmcamp, who was assisted by Marcell Malak and the youth. There were 20 members and their families honored at this occasion. The lodge's story was impres-

sive, but no more so than the story of the men and women whose efforts and personal integrity have contributed so much to make this success possible.

The names of those honored will be in next week's Vestnik. Those who know these members well and many do, because they took a personal interest in the members, know these are not mere words. Fraternalism is very much a part of these honorees' lives. It's in their blood. They recalled the early beginnings which were vastly different from today. However, despite the changed conditions, they believe that people have not.

If we could look deep into the hearts Of our fellowmen, we feel certain that we would find today a greater need for a fraternal life than in the years gone by when the need was based on mutual assistance. Today, it is the individual who really needs the sharing of his fellowman's warmth, because of the coldness that exists. That is why, we, as fraternalists, should bring into the hearts of our fellowmen those close, warm, human feelings that in these days have almost been forgotten, only the outward manner of living that life has changed.

In ccnclusion of the program, the Junior Choral Group and Choral Group led the assembly in singing "God Bless America." At 5 p.m. there was a parade of costumes in the Chandelier Ballroom, followed by a free dance to Clarence Baca Band. During the first intermission, the Junior Group danced the Beseda before a large crowd.

It was a delightful celebration blending the serious with the lighter side. It will soon be 62 years that the lodge was organized and nearly 62 years of work and accomplishment of members who knew what they wanted to do and who thus outperformed even themselves in the service to others.

The history of Lodge 88 is a long story . . . and fills a large volume. As the officers and members of the lodge will look back, they will evaluate the years when they organized, propagated, planned and completed their tasks with excellent results. In 1965, the lodge again became alive after a short spell of lethargy and is flourishing again. This closed the fourth annual honorary recognition of members of Lodge 88, which was originated by Brother Louis Harms, who himself was

honored with a plaque on this occasion.

The Czech Day became another chapter of important history of its lodge in out Society. As the final curtain of the busy day closed with a general feeling of a jeb well done was predominant among all present. Indeed, the Czech Day proved itself as a very fruitful gathering and essential for the future of the SPJST. In an org;ini/ation such as our Society, too oil en we take things for granted without taking into account the basic principles upon which it was founded. The word Brotherhood might seem a bit trivial, however, the fact remains that it is the most meaningful word in the world today and at the same time it is grossly ignored. It could be a dozen, fifty, or a hundred men and women working together to maintain their organizations.

It is the very essence of all the wisdom of all ages distilled into a single word — BROTHERHOOD!

LODGE NO. 69, NEW COLONY Dear Members, At our last lodge meeting it was agreed by the membership present that New Colony Lodge No. 69 would disband by the end of calendar year 1971.

The present lodge officers were instructed by the membership to take the necessary steps to accomplish this action. Furthermore, it was decided that each member be given ample opportunity to join any other local lodge of their choice. This freedom of choice was decided upon rather than the alternative of merging with another lodge and therewith automatically transferring the total membership to one single lodge.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the above-mentioned action is being taken and you are hereby encouraged to consider your own situation and to take the necessary action which will be most appreciated and satisfactory to your individual circumstances. Enclosed you will find the necessary transfer forms which you can complete and send or take to the new lodge you wish to join. It may be advisable to talk to the officers of the new lodge about dues, social activities, youth activities, fraternal benefits and any other matters in which you may be interested. Likewise, contact the officers of the New Colony Lodge, if there is any matter which you would like to discuss with them.

The transfer forms should be completed and turned in to the new lodge during November in order for it to take effect by January 1, 1972.

It is necessary to set a closing date for our record books, financial matter and other necessary closing actions.

Therefore, you are being asked to pay your dues to January 1, 1972. Should you have any overpaid dues, they will be returned to you.

VESTNfK Supreme Lodge dues to Jan. 1, 1972 Local Lodge dues to Jan. 1, 1972 Total Overpaid dues to be reimbursed There will be at least one more meeting of New Colony Lodge and you are encouraged to attend at that time.

Please look for notice of this meeting in the Vestnik. Of course, it is regrettable that our lodge which has served so many of our people in such a wonderful manner for so many years will be coming to a close. However, changing times have made it absolutely mandatory. Please send any communication concerning payment of dues, other financial matter or any other matter to Mrs. J. L.

Several years ago, when I was youth leader at Lodge 47, Seaton, I had the pleasure of working with our State Youth Director James Janousek, who was recently asked to resign because of his health.

My memories go back to those years when James began working with the SPJST youth. Since that time the progress, the growth and the interest of our youth and the youth activities certainly prove that he loves the youth.

He enjoyed working and planning With and, for them.

All of us youth leaders who have worked with him know that James spent many countless hours working on the many youth programs in his home with Kathy's help. In whatever respect we needed help, he was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. Now when he became ill, it seems that something could have been worked, out, but he lost the job he loved so much. In our Society we talk fraternalism but oftentimes it is not put into action!

Wednesday, November 3, 1971 STILL REMINISCING

By Harriette Allison Member of Lodge No. 88, Houston This is a continuation of my reminiscing. Space would not permit me to prolong my last letter to the Vestnik.

During the early days of our lodge, my father, Sla.va Studnicny, was also a member of the dramatic club. He was in several plays, but later devoted his time to teaching Czech to the children of the lodge. We all thought it was great fun and the thing that us kids liked the best about that school was the big bottle of red soda, pop we all got after class. Vine Kilnar was one of the children in that school. In his adolescent years he pelormed in plays, later becoming a director and hi later life became president of the lodge. My mother, Pavia Studnicna, was not a member of the dramatic club, but she and Anna Kostomlatska were its greatest fans. They supported us in every which way they could. They loved those Czech plays.

Then there was Stephen Valcik, who played romantic leads in his young days. He was a very ambitious man and while working elsewhere, was also taking courses at the University of Houston. He received his degree and started teaching there at the University and later at Kinkaid. Brother Joe Kaspar was another hard-working, loyal member and directed many excellent plays.

In those days, Agnes Svacina usually prompted. Then we had Brother and Sister Hosek. They lived only a stone's throw from the lodge and they both were members of the dramatic club and faithfifl workers, helping wherever they could. Ladislav Langer, a charter member, and one of the first presidents also performed for the dramatic club. I shall never forget when we presented "A Womanless Wedding." He played the father of the bride and he gave a side-splitting performance as he marched up the aisle with his shotgun aimed at the groom.

We had an all-male cast of about thirty. Brother Rudy Sefcik made a lovely bride. We had a packed house.

I guess everyone was anxious to see what those men would look like in women's attire.

There were many, many more faithful and loyal members, but my memory fails me at present, so please forgive me if I have failed to mention some of them.

Those were the good old days —

Wednesday, November 3, 1971 everyone was always so anxious to do his part in helping the lodge to progress.

Now I would like to tell you about our forthcoming play which we will present at our lodge on the afternoon of November 21, at 1:30 p.m. It is a comedy with one hilarious situation after another. We have an excellent cast of experienced players who have been, performing on our stage for many years. Also, on that day, we will have our annual turkey dinner, so come and spend the day with us. You will have an enjoyable time. I believe there will also be a free dance after the play.

Fraternally, Harriette Allison ^YJO1---

Then it started to rain so hard that Frank, instead of enjoying his job Of watching the cool cans became outright frantic, that the boat would fill up and sink.

From 12:30 p.m., we had a live radio broadcast from our Chandelier Ballroom. Joe Gavranovic and Bill Sloan of KFRD Rosenberg engineered the broadcast with a lively number played by the Clarence Baca Band. After some very brief preliminaries by President Tillie Helmcamp and 1st Vice President Ernest Hanka, Bishop Morkovsky addressed the radio listeners as well as the assembled audience. His talk centered more or less on our heritage and was given in both Czech and English languages. Our Supreme Lodge President Nick Morris also made a brief talk on the radio. There was more of Clarence Baca music as well as singing by the Lodge 88 Choral Group, under the direction of Tim Kostom, with Naomi Kostom at the piano. The youth group also rendered a few songs.

At the conclusion of the radio broadcast, yours truly opened the short program. Youth Leader Marceil Malak introduced the Lodge 88 and District V Royalty: Queen Marian Kadlecek, King Lynn Lesak, Duchess Vivian Hegwood and Duke Jeffrey Elzner, who was not present. The queen then introduced the dignitaries: President Tillie Helmcamp, who was escorted by Prince Robert Fluellen, Honorable Mayor Louie Welch was escorted by Mary Whitsitt, Supreme Lodge President Morris was escorted by Mary Ann Hareilea, and Lodge No. 88 1st Vice President Ernest Hanka was escorted

by Laurie Mikes.

President Tillie Helmcamp welcomed the gathering and 1st Vice President Ernest Hanka introduced the mayor,

Wednesday, November 3, 1971 who read the proclamation of our.

Czech day in Houston, and gave a short inspiring talk. Highlights of his remarks were: The people of Czech ancestry can be proud of the fact that if all the people of different creeds or nationalities would behave or han,dle their affairs like the Czech _people do, we would not have to have but onetenth of the police force that we have now and also the welfare demands would not be what they are today, because the Czech people have too much pride and determination to wait for free handouts. I wish to acid to this, that there are also many people of other nationalities who strive for a higher grade of behavior and social life, and we are certainly proud to have some of these other nationalities in our SPJST Society as members.

Supreme Lodge President Nick Morris also made a brief talk, stressing quite heavily on heritage. After all, a Czech Day was an ideal time for heritage talk. Then President Tillie Helmcamp took over the program again, and presented plaques to 20 honored members and their families.

This is an annual custom of Lodge 88.

Vestnik Editor Rudy Sefcik and his family were among those honored and were very welcome at our Czech Day celebration. The way Rudy flashed that camera, we should have some pictures of the occasion in the Vestnik, soon.

The program ended and as the floor was being cleared for a free dance, the many gaily dressed people were lining up for the grand Czech costume march at 5 p.m., which was led by President Tillie Helmcamp and husband, Oscar, to the music of the Clarence Baca Band. There were many participants dressed in Czech costumes in the parade and it really was colorful.

The free dance followed with many people filling the ballroom to capacity, to end another enjoyable event.

This proves that the Czech Day was well advertised because some folks came later to share our heritage day.

The L. C. Walkowiaks celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary and Tommie Jecmenek jumped the gun and had Clarence play yours truly a happy birthday number, although it was a month early. Thanks; anyway, bocause by next month I may be too old to celebrate.

LAMES CIRCLE, FORT WORTH Dear Men'Wers, We had a nice attendance at our October meeting and also had some visitors. I'm sorry to say that I don't know who they were. They came with Sister Rose Strnad. Our meeting was called to order by our president, Sister Mary Byisma, who with her cheery welcome, got us in a happy mood right at the beginning of the meeting.

Secretary Myrtle Guerin read the minutes and the correspondence and Sister Dona Hubenak, treasurer, gave her report. Members again voted to send Christmas gifts to both S.P.J.S.T. Rest Homes ($10 each) and $5 to the Veterans Hospital in Dallas.

We will not have a meeting in November; instead we will have family night on' November 11, beginning at 5:00 p.m. with a turkey dinner with all the trimmin gs, free for members and their families, and $1 a plate for anyone else who would like to conic.

A plate for children under 12 years old is 50c. Just you all come and bring your friends and neighbors. Members are requested to bring the pastries.

After supper we will play games.

We sang "Happy Birthday to Sister Millie Wruble and wish her many, more.

Hostesses for October were to be Sisters Mary Hubenak, Frances Dalton, Aloisie Becan, Alexi Parham and Anna Korteff. Anna Korteff was replaced by Martha Durham and Lillie Matuseyich.

They served a very delicious dinner.

Our Circle was saddened by the ill-

it

ness of Mrs. Korteff, who suffered a stroke one day after she was taken to Harris Hospital. Mrs. Korteff is completely paralized and she was removed to Northwest Rest Home. Also Mrs. Marie Juran had the misfortune of falling in the North Side Bank and broke her hip. She was in St. Joseph Hospital for several weeks and now she is recuperating in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Sister and Brother Bernie Polk. To top it off, Sister Agnes Wruble, stepped on a needle at her home the day of our September meeting. The needle broke and lodged in her heel. She pulled it out and dressed the wound and came to the meeting, thinking ever*thing would be all right. A few days, later, her foot stal:ted swelling and Mrs. Wruble had to have a doctor's help.

She suffered a great deal of pain and tine doctor's fee was over $100. We missed her and her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Gregory, at our last meeting, and we do hope she will be with us at the dinner.

Just now, I heard that Bwther Richard Ilubenak went to St. Joseph Hospital, Friday, after our meeting, and underwent surgery. He is at home now and doing fine. To all our sick members, we wish a speedy and a complete recovery. We miss you in our meetings.

We had election of officers and all the present officers were re-elected by acclamation. They are: Sisters Mary Byisma, president; Millie Wruble, vice president; Myrtle Guerin, secretary, and Donna Hubenak, treasurer. Sister Aloisie Becan, our reporter wished to be relieved, of her duties, but I do not know if anyone was appointed in her place.

I wish you all a pleasant Thanksgiving. We probably will spend it in Rosenberg, with our son and his family, Alfred and Vera Becan and children.

Fraternally yours.

LODGE NO. 25, ENNIS Dear Members, The final touches and cleanup will have been completed, when you read this, in preparation for our opening on November 6 and 7. What appears to be a Cinderella type of building on the exterior has received the touch of the ;fairy godmother and its interior is a

12 beautiful setting for any activity. All Is cleaned and polished. The kitchen has been actively used to prepare strudel and kolache. The bar, of course, has been a busy place from the very beginning.

This weekend, come see for yourself.

The dance floor is immense, but the kitchen is nearly big enough to be a home in itself. All areas are adequate; however, you know how that goes and how many times we added to our old hall as times change.

One day, when I walked in, the whole place smelled like a bakery. There is nothing like , apple strudel to dispell the smell of paint. Strudel lined all the counters. The bakers were Mrs. Joe Martinek, Charlie Trojacek, Edwin Nesuda, Antone Cikanek, G. L. Kudrna and their helpers, Linda. Martinek, Darlene Martinek and Karen Kudrna.

These and others gathered again and again to continue their baking.

The purchasing team did a fine job of equipping the kitchen. Making two trips to Dallas were Dorothy Kudrna, Frances Trojacek, Annie Martinek and .Albie Nesuda.

The mop and wax crew developed a :few muscles they did not know they had. Johnie Hrabina (and is this not the recognized lot of nearly every lodge president?) was seen doing this night after night; so was Adell Cikanek.

Others on the team were Antone Cikanek, Dorothy Jean and G. Louis Kudrna, Edwin and Frances Trojacek, Adolph Honza, Stanley Trojacek, Charlie Trojacek, his wife, and Marvin and Milton Martinek.

Wall paper hanging was another skill brushed up in the ladies lounge

by Dolfie Hrabina, Dorothy Jean Kudrna, and Wilma Nesuda. Crawling up and down the ladder was in itself an art. Now add a long strip of paper with glue and the result can be sheer comedy. Marvin Martinek found this very fascinating and we considered him our chief inspector. But all the menfolk came by at one time or another for this last view of what would be a woman's domain.

I noted that foot rests have been added to the bars. They were, I understand, donated and installed by Edwin Trojacek. Very nice. Outdoors the flag pole will also be donated by this brother and I understand that Ernest Haskovec is preparing the area as well as cleaning the ground area between the walks and the building for plant-

VtSTNfg ing. Dolfie and Wilma have a few Nandina shrubs they will part with for transplanting. Anyone else? Nandina, and Ligistrum will be planted. .

Last Thursday, Dorothy Kudrna and Ronnie Haskovec were giving the deep freeze an interior cleanup. The outside had been painted by Dick Harrison in a good copPertone. Ronnie is a good helping hand when he is able to take time out from his schoolwork.

The artists finally signed their wall painting. This means they have put away their brushes, no matter how many things they might want to change or add. Dolfie Hrabina and Wilma Nesuda had a lot of kibitizers and a grand time with their brushes and oils.

Oh yes, you should see the pantry lined with its pastry shelves, supplies and just plenty of storage room. All Of the ladies are wishing for this area of the hall. If you like the cabinets the man to see is Edwin Haskovec, and if you like the floor plan I know that Annie Martinek, Miss Dorothy and Mrs. Dorothy Jean (from now on) Kudrna, Dolfie, and perhaps others, had a lot to do with it.

As I close this last report before the Grand Opening I know that many others have helped and their names will be mentioned as our reports are compiled.

The play which was announced for November '7th was cancelled by Brother Jan Schroif, the director, because of a lack of interest on the part of some of the membership participants of the play and difficulty with absenteeism in rehearsals conditions which were no fault of his. Br. Schroif, a talented actor, refused the responsibility for the above circumstances and resigned as director and member of the Club. A new Czech play was scheduled for November 21st with Sister Harriette Allison as the director for the remaining part of this year.

k,,17 FROM DISTRICT YOUTH DIRECTORS DISTRICT VI YOUTH DIRECTOR Dear Members and Friends, The District VI fall meeting will be held at New Taiton on November 7th. Please make plans to be there. A fine program is expected from the youth from all the youth clubs in the district.

I am planning on making my visits to the youth clubs in the near future.

We are looking forward to the new Hillje Hall being finished. I know we will enjoy holding a district meeting or any other district function there.

See you at Taiton, with a big attendance and a good youth program!

Fraternally, Elsie Brdecka FROM THE LOWE YOUTH LEADERS LODGE NO. 35, ELK Dear Members and Readers, Remember November 6! We all need to participate in our fund-raising project. Bring your cakes to the Saturday dance so we can have a cake walk during intermission. I am hoping all the good people who alWays help the youth club will be on hand again Saturday night.

LODGE NO. 30, TAITON Dear Members, I am sure you know our District VI meeting will be held on November 7.

Brother Berkovsky has the program in the Vdstnik, but he hasn't stated the time. It will start at 1:30 p.m. and we will be back on Central Standard Time again.

Our youth club meet on November 8, after school, and the adult meeting will be on November 14, at 2 p.m. I hope all youth clubs in District VI will come with a program prepared for the District VI meeting.

Please read the letters writtr by Mrs. Bartek, Mrs. Kalina, and brother Chuck Schwartzkopf, and I am 100 percent in agreement with them. James should have had an assistant when he wasn't able to perform his duties.

There were other Supreme Lodge officers who were sick and there was never a word said about them resigning. James wasn't given a chance.

Why haven't we had some,explanation about what really happened?

I hope everything turns out for the best.

LODGE NO. 66, WACO Dear Readers, Our Halloween party was held on Sunday, October 31st, at 3 p.m. We had a wiener roast, hayride and games, and of course, there was fun for everyone. We had also invited Lodges 6 and 35 youth members and they enjoyed being with our kids. This included a costume party; prizes were given to the first and second winners, who were the best dressed, and to the one who was the tackiest.

Our next meeting will begin sharply at 1:30 p.m., so let's all be on time.

Congratulations to our winners at the Waco Fair.

We had 14 youth members present at the district meeting in Dallas. That was a good representation.

Wednesday, November 3, 1971

On October 24th we went to Austin to see the L. B. Johnson Library. There we spent three hours and it was very educational. Then everyone was hungry and thirsty, so we went and ate and everyone enjoyed the meal. On October 16th, the youth club went to Austin to the Highland Mall. There we spent many hours shopping. I think there are 80 stores to shop in.

Our annual turkey dinner was held on October 24th. The youth had a money-making project, selling chances on a basket of groceries, which was won by Mrs. Albin Miller from Taylor.

The resignation of. Brother Janousek was a shock to all of us. He will be hard to replace. He has worked many extra hours overtime and so has his wife.

On November 14th the adult meeting will be held at 2 p.m. The youth will meet after the adult meeting.

Hope to see all of you there.

SPEECH BY STATE KING ANTON KALUZA, DELIVERED AT STATE ROYALTY CONTEST SEPT. 12, IN HOUSTON "WHY I WOULD LIKE TO BE A YOUTH LEADER" Youth today face the most trying times in their nation's history, a history that never before has been so filled with drugs, sex, and generation gaps.

Somewhere, though, there must be an answer. And I think I might be able to provide at least a part of it.

Youth today don't know which way to turn. They are afraid to talk to their parents because they are scared they will be laughed at or brushed aside. How can parents expect their children to grow up in the right social cliMate if the children can't come to them when they need help.

Naturally, however, the home isn't always where the trouble lies. There is bad company, the movies and obscene books on the stands. These can be bought easily and often they are.

Why? you ask. Well, maybe the kids don't have anything better to do.

Or why are summer activities like baseball and swimming no longer a part of the children's lives?

There are solutions to this, and I

STATE KING ANTON KALUZA (6) DISTRICT III and STATE QUEEN PAT PARMA (130) District HI think the SPJST is one of them. The opportunities are there, at least, to make a person want to better himself.

And the youth clubs may be the answer.

successful future.

Like we have it today, activities only once a month are too few and far between. I would like for the youth clubs to have planned activities at least twice a month, if not every week.

Should I some day become a youth leader, I would strive not for fun and games only, I would strive to make the young realize they have a place in life, a place that can provide them a

Wednesday, November 3, 1971 ably in the rocking chair wondering what happened to this country.

The youth need a chance to prove themselves when they are young. They need to show they can handle responsibilities and one way to prove that is to give them responsibilities.

Let them handle money, be responsible for making arrangements for picnics and so on. If we keep feeding everything to the children, they won't know what it is to work.

Therefore, as I speak to you here today, I say give the youth a chance.

And if I ever became a youth leader, I grant you, cne thing my members will receive a chance.

Because remember, it may be the only chance they get. They need it now, before it is too late and they are on the road to trouble.

And one last thought: You, too, were a ycuth one time and aren't you grateful for every chance you were given?

Thank you.

(Your editor requested copies of the state king's and queen's speeches.

SPEECH DELIVERED BY PAT PARMA AT THE STATE ROYALTY CONTEST The most important thing is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the umph but the struggle. The essential thing is to have fought well! This Olympic creed has been recited repeatedly by many gifted athletes striving for victory in the world-famous Olympic games. Young people who have trained for years in these individual fields have learned to accept this creed to work toward the prized gold medal.

Independently or as a small team, they discipline themselves to function to their . very highest capacity to achieve their goal.

Why do I speak of these talented athletes and their impressive creed?

When I heard their creed I could relate it easily with our youth club, as it does not matter how small a lodge is.

Its youth club can he very successful if its members all take part and try hard to make it successful. The youth organization, being a. vital link to its mother lodge, helps promote the unity and fellowship so badly needed between the young people and the adult members. Without it there would be no way to transmit the many new ideas and undertakings we youth may propose.

FIRST PLACE WINNER — The Edllje SPJST Youth Club won first place in the Louise Lions Club parade with their float "SPJST Builds Smiles," colorful building blocks of various sizes were on the float with Humanity, Fun, Brotherhood, and Love. The Hillje SPJST Youth Club participants were Carol, Tommy, and Nancy Krauskopf, Monica, and Ray Orsak, Renee Kaiser, Sharon and Diane Reck, Julie, Nora, Chucky and Nick Schwartzkopf, Vanissa Rainoshek, Carol Stary and Karen Sykora. The judges stated that the smiling youth and the large 6-foot smiling face on the back of the float was most outstanding. (Photo and --titmap sulanitted by YL Joanna Schwartzkopf).

Since it is obvious now important a youth club is to its mother lodge, can one question the service of a small club? A small youth club has the opportunity to grow into a better and bigger organization by putting forth a genuine attempt to get new members. If the meetings and social functions are made interesting enough, social members will soon have enough interest to perhaps encourage their parents to take part, and thus add new members to the mother lodge. But essentially, the small club must be sincere in its efforts to better itself, through membership drives, through 100 percent cooperation in club projects through participation in district and state activities. Remember, it is the vitality of the few that often outwits the dawdling, passive ventures of a large but disorganized group.

If your lodge is small, there should be no reason why the youth should be deprived of a club df their own. Adopt the olympic creed as your motto. Get in the midst of the action — plan ahead — set goals and make it truly a gold medal club. Remember, the most important thing is not the

triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is, to have really tried to make your youth club a real asset to its parent lodge.

LODGE NO. 130, DALLAS Dear Readers, First of all I would like to thank all of you who have written, congratulating me on winning the district and state queen title in the YP,I) Royalty Contest.

Ach, to byla take opojne krasna a jeji vzpirani se a zapas zvySo y alo jeho poaitek. 2koda, 'ae potoin se ji rozum pomatl a zaeala hrati hned zoufalou a posk yrnenou. Hlouposti! Zeny jsou k tomu, aby poskytovaly rozkoS. Edo v nich hleda, nem jineho, je blood a blazon.

Ted' tedy Jiika je u Pakostove a to je dvojnasob draadive. TJkaae ji, Fe se ji neleka, a ae musi mleeti, i kdyby ho clopadla. Bylo-li pravda, ae tenkrate mela chvile rozkoSe nejaky nasledek, jiste dite zabila a pohrozi ji, tte ji uda.

Nebo to byla lea a pane do oei ji rekne, ze vSechna jeji cudnost byla vypoeitana na to, aby ho donutila si ji vziti.

Lekne se, husieka, verejne ostudy a bude mleet. Am), vYborne to bode. Paseky jsou samota, ye statku neni lee hrbaty eeledin, a ten, as na neho krikne, zaleze. Aspon nikdo nepobehne aalovati, a jakmile Jirka jednou zapovezeneho ovoce okusi, sama bude skrYvat, co se stalo, aby nedoSla smichu.

Vesele se mu Slo lesem, jako by ifa byl u cile svych tuaeb. Prijely sanemi, asi pro Saty Jiteiny, a odpoledne budou bezpeene doma. Zajde si k nim, vaak je statek dost veliky, aby tam naSel koutek, kde pokroti tu aabu, jako jich pokrotil vice. Ani domii se mu nechtelo, jak ho radost zalila. Proael hlavni cestou a zatoeil se do hospody "Na zavadilce." Tam bYval nejeasteji a tam se dobre vady poinnel. Hostinsky byl start' pytlak, a kdyby ho bYval chtel potYrati, byl by nekolikrate ho mohl pro pytlactvi udati. Ale zamhouril oei, jako je mhouril hostinsky, kdyF myslivec Inn k aerie sedal a dtiverne se k ni mel. OSkliva, byla, davno jeji rnladost opadala, ale laena byla, jako on. A yypoeitava. Vedela, ae myslivec ma v rukou rfizne vYhody, za smeSnY peniz pronajal Jim loueky v lese, prodal vi a nevidel, kdya si /iri torn porazili statny kmen. 0 honech oral pivo odtud, vodil sem strelce, kteri tu east() do bileho dne hrali a nechali zde pejako o posviceni. Proto byl vady hosten jako yzaenY host a nikdy ne-

Ve stkedu 3. listopadu 1971 slySel ySreitky, Fe snad jinYm dava pfed ni pkednost. Co v,echno na torn, jen kdyF je jim pritelem a kdyF aspori nekdy se pousmeje.

Take dnes naSel vlidne privitani a neodporoval, kdyF ho avail k obedu. Je to Pravda, proe choditi damn, kdyF je zde teplo a kdyF mute vypiti nekolik sklenic piva. HostinskY se pochiubil, dostal novy souclelc vYborneho vina.

Naene, preje-li si pan fort, a pan fort souhlasil. Vino bylo dobre, hostinska prinesla dobre jidlo, dala se obehnouti a polibiti a po vzdychla si, Fe ten jeji medved sedi doma jako PriblV." "Nechame ho dnes doma;" smal se rozpustile, "prijdu jindy, az trochu snip sleze, a budu mu moci ficj f karn vychazi srnei nebo baitanti. Dries se nil dice piti„ radost mam a na ra(lost budu piti."

Vyzvidala, proe se veseli, podezirajic ho, ze miri nekam na zalety, ale on se jen smal.

"ZadnY dobrY pytlak nikomu nerekne, kam jde," skadlil ji. "Neptejte se, nic yam nepovim. A, start' je zde, de piti se mnou."

Pill spolu, hostinskY zvolna, protoFe vedel, ae prijdou jini a budou take piti a on s nimi, myslivec prudce a aizfive, jako by chtel uhasiti vniticni aar.

Venku se setmelo lined o polednach a po polednach zaeal poletovati snih.

"Povidal jsem rano, ae dnes jeSte prijde nova, metelice," vykladal hostinsky, oblaka jsou pina snehu a do rasa ho napadne na dva strevice."

"At' napadne, mne je snih milt', asp oil hlidati les."

"Vitr vam cestu zaveje."

"Mile? Nic mi nezaveje. Trefim, kdyby bylo snehu po pas. V lese jsem se narodil a znam v nem kaadY strom.

Ohm vice snehu, tim je mi VSak y am, vy pytlaku, taky, ne?"

"No s tim mYm pytlactvim to neni tak ale," oSival se hostinskSr mrzute.

"Bost zle to je, dost, kamarade, ale my si rozumime, Fe? Na nage zdravi!"

Prit'ukl si a preklopil vino do hrdla.

"Dobre vino," pochvaloval si, "da yno jste takove nemel. A dobre se zde pije. Hezky teploueko je, nikdo nam zde do fist neeumi a mnaeme se aspal svobodne zasmat. Vite, ae dole u mann vychazi peknr srnec? Tulak to je a prorokuji, Fe ho nekdo odpravi.

Jen aby stopy nezanechal. Oni jsou nekteri pytlaci hloupi a lezou primo do rukou, kam nemaji."

"Snad takovy Ondrej, ale chytry eloVek to neudela."

Ve Stfedu 3. listopadu 1971 "To je to,", srnal se myslivec, "ten to udelal, jak jsem si pral. A ug je v base. Pobruei si a potom potahne nekam jinam. Mel jste ho videti, jak se zdesil, kdy jsem na neho z houati vyskoeil. Jako beran se dal vesti a trasi se jako kluk pied yYpraskem.'

"A ten srnec tam chodi denne?' vyptaval se hostinsky, jeho osud Ondrejtv nezajimal.

"Povidam, 2e denne. Voda tam nezamrza a ma to blizko od sveho lo2e. Ne abyste tam hned dnes be2e1, to si nechejte na jindy, proto2e dnes asi neprijde. Churneli se opravdu poradne!

Venku se rozbesnila vichrice a loincovala okny, ktera byla pina navateho snehu. Hostinsky nosil vino a Loeak pil. Chvilemi &di do prazdna uprel a ttemusi se usmival. Krev se mu nahrnula, do oblideje, odi se mu leskly a znamky poeinajiciho opilstvi zaealy se jevit v jeho posuncich i vyrazu. Byl slavnY pijak, snesl velike mno2stvi piva ei vina, nepohrdl mezi tim eigkou °stroll° likeru, ale mak) kdy se do opra,vdy opil, Rikali o nem, 2e spiae porazi on soudek, ne2 aby soudek porazil jeJ. Po treti hodine se venku zaealo tmiti a padajici snih houstl.

"Dnes domil nechod'te, prohodil hostinskY, vraceje se z venku, "nekde byste zapadl.'

"JP" rozesmal se zealroka. "Snad vy, kagieko, •ale ja, ne. Ale je eas, abych ael dome, hajny na me deka a potom se snad cestou jeate nekde stavim. Na eekani pujdu, srnka mi do cesty chazi a rad bych ji ulovil. Ptijdu. Naplate to, co jsem utratil, zaplatim, a2 sem zase prijdu, bude to brzy, a vy holubieko, mi ustrojite, co jo, rad!'

Zam2oural vYznamne. ()alma na hostinskou a oblekal svfij kratkY ketzigek.

Klobouk si na hlavu narazil, ruenici ,pfehodil, rukavice navlekl a u2 se hrnul ke dverim.

"Mel bys ho kus cesty doprovodit," demlouvala hostinska mu2ovi. "On dnes nekde zahyne."

"On? Nedej se vysmat. Je jako kuna, proklouzne, kudy nikdo neprojde. Ten se u2 nee° naputoval za, mrazti, vanic a bourek. Snad nemysli g , ze jde rovne domil. Ma neco jeate za lubem, ja ho znam a rozumim, co chtel tou srnkou Nekde mu prialo do rally nejake day& a jde za nim. Rad bych veal, kdo to je, jste nektera z vesnice, nebo ze samoty. Ale ktera,? Vaechny u2 vystficlal, a to by musila nektera se objeviti, kterou jeate pied tim neznal.

Asi slou2ila ye meste a nedavno se o

VESTNfK ni dovedel. Nu, on se po druhe zrnini.

Ten chiap ma a-testi, vaechny se na neho jenom tresou.'

"Vic se mluvi, nea je pravda," hajila ho hostinska, citic 2arlivost, 2e byla j aksi odsunuta stranou a 2e tak okazale ji projevuje malo pozornosti.

"Rekni, 2e se u6 ani nemluvi, co je pravda," rekl skoro hrube a mrkl po ni vYznamnYm pohledem. "To je o neho starosti a on alape jako by ael tancovat. Za deset minut bude v lese a tam je jako za kamny."

Oknem postrehl jeho postavu snehem se derouci a k lesu mirici. Nelhal, tvrde, 2e jde jako by 011611. Krepce hrnul snih nohama, chvilemi holi zatoeil a zasmal se. Ano, srnka je nablizku a apatnY by byl lovec, aby se j1 nezmocnil. Ted' je Jirka v jinern okoli, do slu2by ala a bude panem on. Pakostova, bude mleet. Promluvi-li, rekne ji, 2e jeSte dnes povi eetnikilm, jak sve dite utratila, a poputuje za bri2e.

Ale aspori se ji zbavi, statek koupi panstvi, a nee Jirka zkrotne a do my -slivnyeodthuj,bevklci.Zroti plachou hrdlieku, naudi ji a aZ bude syt, polene ji, jako hnal jine pted ni a po2ene jine po ni.

Cele jeho telo horelo vinem. Dobre bylo, pochvaloval si, aenkYit mu rozumi a je za to moudrY. Pro jednoho smce neni zle a za to ma on vYhody, a jako vYhody! 8koda, 2e u neho Jitka neslou'Zi, to by S"lo vSechno hladeeji a snaze. Vida, mine to zariditi, hostinska, bude se sice vzpirati, hloupa, baba je 2arliva, ale trochu ji pohladi a ona se do, uchlacholiti. Krasne si to zavede, rajsky bude My a byl by blazen, aby nebyl. Vgak je jen jednou na svete, at' u'Zije dokud mute, aspori si nebude k staru vyeitat, 2e nee° prohloupil.

Doael k lesu necite imavy a ted' uz skoro tmou. Snih se sypal, gume v korunach a vrail se na alejich a prO.sekach. Do Paseky mel jeato dobre hodiny, ale zde v lose vichtice se lamala a jen nahote v korunach skuvitr a hueely narazy vzduchovYch yin, bieovanYch vichrem. Znal opravdu cestu vYborne, nebloudil a oddaval se syYm ptedstavam, z nich ptedstava Jiteina byla nejsilnejAi a nejdrUivejE Jako by ji pied sebou mel, tak ji videl stepilou, 2a,clouci opojne vabnou.

Dnes ji musi zkrotiti, dnes ji ulovi, po dobrem ei po zlem. Ale ulovi.

Jake pak odklady a ohledy. Takova Zaba na ulici sebrand! Jina, by pova2ovala za . Cost, 'de si ji vSima, a ona

27 bude Mat! drahotu. To se myli, a al uciti jeho silu, teprve se poddo, bude krot'oueka, jako kuiatko. Aspori take Pakostovou po dlouhYch letech pozna, a vysineje se ji, jak si toho zaslouZi. Cim bli2e k Pasekam prichazel, tim byl ohnivejSi a y znicenejSi. Najisto kde vSemu byl odhodlan a jeho nizka smyslnost nemohla se doekati nasyceni. Nikdy uz nebude se trmaceti takovym neeasem, do zavetti si ji usadi a podle sve libosti bude mlsati.

Tma houstla, vichrice rostla, a kdy2 dbael na kraj lesa, kde se Zaeinala pole pasecka, mush se zastaviti, a y nabral dechu. Piece se unavil, sata dost do kopce a snehu je hodne. A tady to bouri, jako by besove provadeli zde svtij pekelny tanec. Zahledl svetelko, a kdy vydechl, pistil se smerem k nemu.

Zde se mu to tak snadno neUo, zaveje se nakupily, zapadal do nich a zaeal proklinati. Tohle je naposledy, kdy takovou cestu podnika, ptiSte bude miti pohodli, ktere si vynuti. Neni vyloudeno, ze ye statku do rana setrva, nebude mu aspoti smutno v krasrte spoleenosti, zasmal se. UdYchan dorazil ke vratktlm a nak dvete zavtene, zabouchal. Od chleva ozvaly se teZke kroky a kdosi dokl ke vratrim.

"Kdo je to?" ptal se drsnY, musk bias.

"Otevti a mle," ktikl zlostne. "Nebudu zde stati na vetru."

Klio zarachotil a vratka se pootevkela. Ale Martin, ktery nakukoval, kdo se to dobYva, byl odstreen prudkYm vyraZenira dvitek a Loeak vstupoval.

"Kde je to vase slu&bna?" ptal se s vysoka.

"Snad ve svetnici. A co ji chcete?

Vy jste fott nebo hajnY?" "Tahni s cesty, nebo to pretahnu, ze ani nevzdychneS. Vejda-li do svetnice, dam ti na pametnou, pamatuj si to."
