MARCH 1, 1972

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Sunday, February 20, the West Community Hospital was formally dedicated and was in operation that same night. Another milestone in the history of this little Central. Texas city; photos and information are in this issue. There are many SPJST lodges in this area, and many members welcomed this progressive addition to this thriving community.

• • On a recent trip to Lodge No. 88, Houston, Brother Albert Bristik asked your editor if he remembered a young man standing next to him. After a few words, the realization dawned from out Of the past that this was the same young man who had been well-known by yours truly a few years ago while he was active with our youth. He has 'grown up to be a fine young man.

Lo and behold, last week we received his announcement as a candidate for the Texas House of Representatives.

How time flies!

• • A Real Man A real man never talks about what the world owes him, the happiness he deserves, the chance he ought to have, and all that; all that he claims is the right to live and play the man. A real man is just as honest alone in the dark, in his own room, as he is in public. A real man does not want pulls, tips and favors; he wants work and honest wages. A real man is loyal to his friends and

THE, SPIRIT OF SUCCESS. It's the coward who quits to misfortune, 'Tis the knave who changes each day, 'Tis the fool who wins half the battle, Then throws all his chances away.

There is little of life but labor, And the morning may find that a dream; Success is the bride of endeavor, And luck but a meteor's gleam.

The time to succeed is when others, Discouraged, show traces of tire; The battle is fought in the homestretch, And won tWixt the flag and the wire.

—Anonymous. guards their reputation as his own. A !real man is dependable; his simple word is as good as his oath. A real man does not want something for nothing, so the get-rich-quick people cannot use him. A real man never ,hunts danger, and never dodges it when he ought to meet it. A real man is — well, he is an honest man, the finest, best, noblest, most refreshing thing to be found on all the green earth — Are you one?

• • Nature keeps a one-price store. She lets you take what you want, but you pay the price, and often leave that which is infinitely more valuable than what you take.

There. are .men who spend the greater part of their lives in accumulating money, intending some day to settle down and enjoy life. To their great disappointment, they find they have lost their ability to enjoy many things Which appealed to them when they were young. They are past learning to enjoy travel, books, music, or art, because their sense of beauty was dulled from lack of use. Friends are lost in the same way. The faculty of making friends has been expended in the making of money.

The way to enjoy life is to live as we go along. Being "too busy" to cultivate friendships — even by such simple acts as the writing of a cheery note to a sick friend, will most surely result in everlasting regret.

Men think they are making a great success of life because they are getting ahead faster than their neighbors, but they are losing something far more precious than they are gaining.

• • The trouble with a lot of us is that we want to accomplish many things; but are not willing to pay the price. If life were a game in which the rewards Were handed out on a silver platter to anyone who happened to ask for them, lots of folks would sleep in rose beds.

But, unfortunately, we have to reckon with the thorns.

We get mostly what we go after — if we go after it hard enough. About the only thing that has ever come into our life without effort is trouble; and much of that can be traced to a desire to take hold of the blossoms instead of grasping the branches.

Thirty per cent of all American families -- households to be technical — are expected to have incomes of $15,000 or more by 1980. Today, nearly 25 per cent of the families fail into that income category.

Even when the effect of inflation is taken into account, in the past 20 years there has been a five-fold increase in the families with $15,000-plus incomes, says the Institute of Life Insurance on the basis of Census Bureau data.

And the income is more widely spread. Today there is a much greater cross-section of occupations which provide $15,000 and more a year than in the past. Formerly affluence was almost wholly linked to well-educated, professional people.

There's a p hase a sociologist might use — "upward economic mobility" — to show which group stands to improve its income position. In the late 1940's, and early 1950s, those who were "nearly poor" were most likely to shift to a middle income level. More recently, a greater shift has been from the middle income to upper-income status. The Conference Board reports, and that trend is expected to continue.

Since higher earners tend to be perSons who have worked longer (except

Wednesday, March 1, 1972 for the aged), household heads in wellto-do families fall predominantly in the 35-54: age group.

When all is said and done, however, there still remains a close relationship between income and education and occupation. Nearly half of all family heads with four or more years of college earn $15,000 or more. In contrast, where a family head has had only a high school education, only 30 per cent earn over $15,000. As for occupation, among professional or technical workers about 42 per cent earn $15,000 or more. Among managers, officials and proprietors, 43 per cent earn over $15,000.

If goes without saying that a working wife has a considerable influence on family income. There has been a marked increase in working wives.

From 1950 to 1970, the proportion of families with both husband and wife working doubled. Currently, 40 per cent of all wives work.

Although a working wife generally contributes a significantly smaller proportion of money to family income than her husband, her share has been increasing during the last 10 years.

'The trend toward more wives working and their higher earnings stems from more employment opportunities for women, especially for those with a better education.

Among families with incomes of $15,000 and over, about 75 per cent have more than one person working, generally the wife in addition to her husband. For American families as a whole, about 55 per cent of households have two or more members employed. —3P,TSTNewsbriefs

Mr. William E. (Bill) Macek, Maintemince Construction Supervisor II, of Eden retires February 29, 1972, lacking only 13. completing 44 years with the Texas highway Department.

A retirement; party at the District Office in San Angelo and a luncheon at a local restaurant were given in his honer. He was presented several gifts that included a 12 gauge shotgun in San Angelo and other gifts were given him from his employees in Eden and Menard maintenance sections.

Mr. Macek began his work with the Department March 13, 1928, in San Angelo as a laborer. Later he was a crew foreman and traveled over a large area shooting road oil as it was called at that time. This road oil was applied through a spray bar directly on dirt to form the early all weather roads.

Areas in which he did this type of work included Alpine, Del Rio, Carrizo Springs, Balmorhea, and Sweetwater.

He worked under the supervision of Roy McClure until about 1948, for Max

Wednesday, March 1, 1972 Wilson from 1948 to 1952, and for Bill Hopewell as a Special Foreman from 1952 to 1954.

Mr. R. N. (Al) Jennings became the District Maintenance Engineer in 1949 and was in charge of all maintenance from that time in a supervisory capacity. In 1954, Mr. Jennings promoted Mr. Macek to Maintenance Foreman in Eden which included. the Menard subsection. As Maintenance Foreman, he was in charge of 300 miles of road to maintain which he personally inspected at least once a week. His maintenance force usually consisted of 21 men, some of which were in his Menard sub-section.

In 1971, Mr. Macek was nominated as 1 of group of 25 from the 250 maintenance foremen throughout the state for the Lady Bird Johnson Beautification Award. This award, presented annually, consists of a bronze plaque and $1500.00 cash to the maintenance foreman who had done most for beautification of highways. He did not win the award, but it was quite an honor to be nominated out of 250 contestants.

Preservation of the natural scenery and to add to the beauty of highways and rest areas had been one of his goals.

His maintenance section in Eden is considered one of the best in District 7. During open house held each year, his section has led in the number of visitors attending.

Safety for his men was a prime objective and as a qualified instructor, he taught them First Aid. Mr. Macek stated that he has enjoyed working for the Highway Department. Thinking back, he could not realize how much the roads have improved. He can remember that, when he started to work, the only pavement toward Austin out of San Angelo was just halfway to Wall. Shortly after this time he recalls erecting the first road signs in District 7.

He plans to move to San Angelo in the near future and to catch up on his fishing, hunting, and traveling. He and his wife, the former Cecilie Jurek, whom he married January 9, 1933, will be traveling mostly to see their daughter and son-in-law, the Robert E. Hollidays and granddaughter Christa Leah, who live in Austin.

Mr. James R. Evans, Sr. Maintenance Engineer in San Angelo was Mr. Macek's supervisor at the time of his retirement.

LODGE NO. 35, ELK Dear Members, Sunday, February 13, certainly was a beautiful day for our lodge meeting.

Such warm, wonde-rful sunshine sort of made you hate to stay indoors. Yet, a lot of our members and friends came to the meeting, which was called to order at 3 p.m. by President Brother Vernon Wood.

CHORAL CLUB OF LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Members and Friends, I am writing to make a correction on my last letter to the Vestnik. I had written that our Choral Club party would be March 26; not so because the 26th is on Sunday and it is also the day of our District III meeing. Our party will be on Saturday, March 25 at the lodge hall, No. 84, in Dallas — tins way you can attend both func-

Wednesday, March 1, 1972 tion. Be sure and mark your calendar for the dates. I didn't mark mine and that is why I got messed up on the date. Also the correct price of our party dinner will be adults $2.25, and children $1.23. Now be thinking. about who you would like to invite as your guest and let us kno-w how many of you will be coming. Members will be free. The time is: social hour, 5 to 6 p.m. and dinner promptly at 6 p.m.

Hope to see all of you there.

We had a .member on the sick list, Brother Frank Voclieka. hope he is well now and will be able to join us at the party as well as the next rehearsal.

Fraternally, Annie Staglik movie (Eng. titles) L. 88, Mar. 10, 8 p.m.

LAWS CIRCLE, FORT WORTH Dear Members, I wish to remind you of the Ladies' Circle meeting on Thursday, March 9th, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in National Hall; be sure you all come! The hostesses for the month of March will be Lillie McMillen, Clara Gee, Sunshine Easley, Jean Hixson and Elizabeth Gregory.

In our February meeting there was a good attendance even though . there are still some members sick and we miss them. Sister Tillie Gillis brought a big bouquet of carnations and decorated the tables with them and our hostesses supplied dishes with the heart candy as a remembrance or Valentine's Day; the tables really looked nice. After the meeting, the ladies took the carnations to our sick members.

President Mary Bylsma called the meeting to order and welcomed all of us and asked Secretary Billie Spindor to read the minutes of our previous meeting. Billie also read a thank-you card from Sister Frances Dalton, for visits and a get-well card while she was in the hospital. Sister Mary Hubenak was involved in a car wreck, but thank goodness she was only slightly bruised and shaken up, but the car was a complete loss.

LODGE NO, 41, Sk!:ATON Dear Members, Last month I wrote. three different

times, this month 'I barely make the deadline before the next meeting on March 5th! (Staying too busy with varied work and activities!).

The last meeting we held was on February 0th, 1972 at 2 p.m. with Brothel' Dan F. Balusek, presiding.

The pledge of allegiance was led by Flag Bearers Donald Pechal and Ralph.

Kohutek. Then the membership honored the memory of our departed Brothers Jerry Hejl, age 71, of the Oenaville Community and Joe A. Bartell', 87, of Temple with a moment of silent prayer. To the survivors, is expressed s, sincerest sympathy in your loss.

President Balusek introduvd SL Vice President Joe B. Hejny no spoke briefly. Then Brother Henry Vitek of Granger,' District II Director praised the lodge organizers for their untiring efforts in obtaining such a record umber of members and amount of insurance for our lodge and that this helped the district reach their goal early.

Then the visitors axed new members were asked to stand for recognition.

The attendance at this meeting was larg er than usual because the initiation was held following the meeting. Come again, everyone.

Thc January minutes were approved as read by Sister Ruby H. Bolton.

Ihe new members accepted in the meeting wore: adults Marguerite jarmie Tilley, Wright William Gerlanci, Raymond Lee Soiled, and Ouilda LI mines -- Zachary Lane Harold, Michael Lee Sodek, Rebecca .1..•yrin IMnald Wayne nutria, and Lee Hotaila, and Daryl George Kortts.

We wish her much success from all the members, so if you need insurance or ,know of a prospect, call her or any of the other local organizers before another lodge claims this member. Congratulations, Vallie, we will be expecting great things from you in this new endeavor.

Board Secretary Frankie Klinkovsky read the board's deliberations during their meeting. Also, the date for the District II YAD is undecided but this was postponed till the next meeting.

Then Frankie Klinkovsky and Jerry Mikulas, Jr., delegates, gave the proposed changes that this lodge favors.

We then voted for most of the changes that they presented.

Sister Marie Mihatsch, youth leader, gave her report with 34 members present, 5 visitors and 4 adults. She announced the fund-raising night set for Friday, February 18th. This has been held with a nice profit for the youth club. Thank you for all the support, purchases and help.

Brother Joe B. Hejny asked Secretary Ruby Bolton to read the names of the candidates for initiation so he could have them line up in front.

There were 21 present, the largest group present to my estimation. Then we formed a giant circle that took the entire floor area and all couldn't even participate. This may be a repeat, but we certainly value your membership at Lodge No. 47, Seaton. I hope you were impressed and start attending the meetings.

Brother Balusek appointed Brothers Edwin J. Chlapek and Leo Baca and Sister Irma Klinkovsky to inspect the bonds of lodge officers.

Before adjournment, the door prize Was drawn by Brother Hejny and the recipient was Brother Edwin J. Chlapek.

The Concert Orchestra directed by Reggie Ludwig of Hi-Toppers' fame, entertained with their wonderful music. These young people certainly play the beloved Czech songs well.

The supper was held after the concert with turkey and dressing with other trimmings. Thanks to all of the sisters who worked so hard in the kitchen to prepare this meal.

The next meeting will be on the first Sunday, March 5th, 1972, at 2 p.m. We will have a social following the meet-

tST VC ing and the sisters may bring some sweets to complete the meal. Let's, all attend and till up the hall.

LODGE NO. 85, HOUSTON Dear Brothers and Sisters, All the rumors and news that we hear and read about our President's trip to mainland China are now a reality. Tn fact, as I am writing this letter, I am also viewin g, via TV, Mr. Nixon's arrival in Peking. There is much speculation. as to whether the visit to China by our President will result in eventual friendship between our two g just bring on a lot of • tell, but persona). will ads of ' j ust a he-

to a one being left out. that boy, probably downright uncooperative arid probably would even say and do things he really didn't mean. With nations it can work the same way. Now that

Wednesday, March 1, 1972 China has been given a chance and recognized in the United Nations and approached with friendly intentions from a great nation like ours, maybe some day it again will become a friendly nation.

Coining event at Lodge 88 — Saturday, March 4th en Lee Roy Matocha and his all-around polka band will play for our dance. The Knights of Dixie good dance music from Schulenburg Will be here for your enjoyment, for Saturday, March 11th. They always mix it up good for good dancing. Then for a Sunday evening dance, March 12th, from 5 to 9, we have none other than the Vrazels popular band from Buekhoits. This ought to belt a very pleasant evening; I bet even Cottoneyed Joe will be there.

Some of the other activities on our schedule at Lodge 88: Singing group practice is on Tuesday night, from 7:30 to 9 p.m.; Czech classes are again being held, on Wednesday nights, from 7 to 9 p.m.; the Birthday Club sisters have their card party, luncheon, games and prizes always on the first Wednesday of each month, from 10 a.m. on; and on each second Wednesday of the month, they have some of the same enjoyment for you, plus a short meeting. These Birthday Club sisters certainly have a worthwhile, interesting and enjoyable club going. The guests are welcome and you may bring along your husband or friends for a good lunch and a few games. My better half took me along one time (to keep from having to cook at home) and now, I believe that we are stuck. The ladies even let me take care of the numbers for the prizes sometimes. :Maybe, someday if I can promote a mini skirt, they might even make me an nonorary sister, who knows?

Anyway, a lot of you lodge sisters may not know about the fun all these ladies are having at the club, so I am enclosing several names and phone numbers for your convenience; give them a call, and you can contact the following Sisters: Sue High, 864-0697; Helincamp, 861-6419; Mary Tillch, 694-1421, and Birdie Hilsher, 861'7033.

Another big enjoyable activity that wa have is the regular Thursday night, ,social. Tasty supper staris at 6 p.m., and games at 8 p.m.

News and comments --- The convention committee is busy making all the arrangements for our XXI SPJST Convention which will be held here in

Wednesday, March 1, 1972 Houston at the Rice Hotel. Lodges Nos. 88 and 142 are hosting. One of the convention projects is the Convention Souvenir Book. The delegates are all working together on the selling of advertisements or spaces in this book, and, if all delegates give just half the push that some already have, then we will guarantee a 100 percent book — plus; so all you readers, who have a business advertisement or a complimentary spot to submit, please contact any delegate or the office at Lodge 88.

The special Harry James dance was a sellout which proves that some people enjoy a big name band once in awhile. The Bay City Dutchmen dance was also a good one. And, of course, the '7th annual celebration at Lodge 88. was again a big deal. First, we feasted on L. A.

Sister Louise Knapick and her helpers worked the "Spin-art" booth. Edna Wehring and her group were in charge of the cook book and greeting cards sales. , Bill Makik and his sports group supervised the boys' baseball throw. It's hard to tell whether the youngsters or adults enjoyed this sport more.

He is our everhelping, Brother Herdian Baethe who is only 83 years young. HOwever, on Saturday morning when Clarence Baca and I got to the lodge to arrange our booth, he was already there, working like a beaver, and on top of that, he scouted around different stores, buying items on sale, for our spinwheel prizes.

The afternoon battle dance got underway at 2 p.m., with Clarence Baca and Lee Roy Matocha bands giving it all they had and the houseful of dancers enjoyed themselves until 9 p.m.

Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Mikeska celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with the L. A. Mikes and the Rudy Miculkas.

Edwin Wesley celebrated his 30th birthday.

With the sick — Sister Agnes Miculha who had surgery is now doing fine.

(Mrs.) Dorothy Massey, State Youth Director FROM THE OFFICE OF THE

STATE YOUTH DIRECT(A. Dear District Youth Director: There have been some -questions asked concerning the Miss SPJST contest that need to be clarified. One is the length of time the Miss SPJST candidates will be required to spend at the convention. Wednesday, June 21 is the big day for the seven district candidates, and 9 a.m. on that day is the kitest they should plan to be at the convention because there are other activities and competitions scheduled for them throughout the day Wednesday, June 21. The coronation and banquet that evening will climax the day's events and it will probably be late when it is over. The girl who is crowned

Wet:1nel(lay, March 1, 1972 Miss SPJST will be required to stay at least part of the day on Thursday so that she may make a short appearance and presentation to the convention delegates on that clay. Other details regarding Wednesday's activities will be made known shortly.

The photograph discussed in the biographical paragraph in the ruies for the Miss SPJST may be a little misleading. What we want. is one recent studio picture of the district win ncr (not all of the candidates within each district), in black and white, dull finish, not glossy print, billfold size, to be submitted 'to the district youth director after the district meeting and after the district/selects its winner.

The biographical sketches, however, should be sent to your DYD prior to the district meeting, because the information on these biographical sketches is used by the DYD at the time Of and during the district competition.

More than likely, the pictures of all the district candidates will be published in the convention issue of the Vestnik. It will be up to the DYDs to forward these pictures, plus biographical sketches, to the state youth director no later than May 20, 1972 for publication in the Vestnik.

If there are any further questions, please contact this office.

I do not choose to be a common man. it is my right to be uncommon . if I can. I seek opportunity not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a handout. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the calm state of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a dole. I will never cower before any master not bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, "This I have done." All this is what it means to be an American.

VtEITNIL °Dobre rano" is used more in the country, while "dobre jitro" is more common in the cities. "Dobre jitro" is becoming more and more common Since "jitro" is a poetic word and not otherwise commonly used, you may run across an abbreviation "dobrYtro", ich is strictly colloquial.

"Sbohem" has a religious origin. Literal translation is "with God" and traces apparently to the phrase "Jdi (or Mete) s Bohem". "Jdi" is singular, while "Mete" is plural imperative (meaning "Co with God") The religious meaning has been slowly lost in the common usage; therefore, it is 'written now as one word, sbohem", instead of "s Bohem".

The religious meaning has been largely preserved with the longer form of the same greeting "s Fanem Bohem" and, therefore, it is usually written as three separate . words with capitrl Literal translation would be "with ;;turd Cod". Occasionally, you may see it written as one 'word, "spanem bohem".

U. S. GOVERNMENT DEPOSITOR! 401 North 3rd

Temple, Texas

Ve stf.edu 1. bf.ezna 1972 Kuykendall is the chief civil deputy and an 18-year veteran of the department. He is seeking the office held by his boss, Sheriff C. C. Maxey, who is retiring December 31, after 24 years as sheriff and 44 years as an officer in Waco and McLennan County. Sheriff Maxey made it clear that he is remaining neutral in the primary but would support either Kuykenclall or Chief Deputy Jack Harwell, who is also seeking the office, should one of them be in a run-off against a candidate from outside the department.

Kuykendall is 51. He lives at Leroy with his wife, the former Miss Elizabeth Taylor of Leroy, and daughter, Denise Ann, 13.

He is a native of Mt. Calm and a resident of McLennan County for more than 40 years. He was 10 years old when his father, Jesse A. Kuykendall, was killed while being robbed.

His mother died in 1950.

Kuykendall graduated at West and attended Texas A&M before going to work in Waco for Swift & Co. for eight years as a salesman. He worked two years in Houston as a machinist for Reed Roller Bit. In 1951 he became a city policeman at West for three years. He joined the sheriff's department on February 1, 1954, and since then has served in all divisions of the department. He was made chief deputy in 1961.

His duties include the serving of executions, sequestrations writs of possession, citations, subponeas, restraining orders, summons and numerous other legal papers. He also holds sheriff's sales.

He said his most touching work comes when he has to pick up children under orders from a court. During the cold spell recently, he was trying to locate some cattle he had been ordered to seize.

The paper work often keeps him on the move from before daylight to after dark, but in the process he meets lots of people. He also helps in criminal matters when he is needed.

Kuykendall is a member of several law enforcement associations and is active in several civic organizations.

He has six sisters, Mrs. Billy Jo Young and Miss Nona Kuykendall of Lacy-Lakeview, Mrs. Bobbie Lee McClure of Irving, Mrs. Jessie Lewis of Hillsboro, Mrs. Nadine Advants of Abilene and Mrs. Pluma Cunningham, who is in the Phillipines.
