STATUE OF LIBE± TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1972 May the torch — in behalf of the freedoms of the press, expression, thought, personal liberty and freedom from fear — shine forever.

The Fourth of July .. . Many of our ,great holidays have almost lost their significance for the average American.

His attention is directed to the traffic fatality predictions or to the jamn ed highways and crowded beaches, It is the exception for the average American to give any attention to the true meaning of the national holiday.

This should not be especially with the e to the Fourth of July.

Exactly one hundred and ninety-six years ago a group of courageous colonists assembled in Philadelphia and framed the Declaration of Indepentlence. These men representing the 13. original colonies, were breaking the shackles of all the world and were forging 13 colonies into a nation, but this new world was to be fashioned after the tenets contained in our Declaration of Independence.

There- are many noble documents to be found in the history of nations, but, nerve contains the noble aspirations of man more beautifully than does the Declaration of Independence, It would

well if every American, on the Fourth of July, would read it. Perhaps they would recapture for themselves the true spirit of America. In its very preamble we find the political philosophy of the new nation. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Hero, in a very clear pronouncement, is the recognition of our rights, the dignity of man recognized, and the cbjective of living— life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

On all national holidays there is one emotion that should be found in the heart of every American and that is :patriotism. Patriotism has its root in man's relationship to his country. The very word patriotism is from the Latin word "pater" meaning father. A man's love of his country should find its parallel in the deep love he has for his natural father. Patriotism finds its fullest expression in the sacrifices that are made for our country.

We are free people. We wish to remain free. We love our country and we want our country to carry on the ideals :and truths of the past so that year by year and decade by decade we , will stand in the family of nations as one which recognizes the symbol as the source of all liberty and in which nation each one accepts his fellowman with his own given rights.

The Fourth of July is the birthday of our liberty. May we recognize its true meaning forever.

SPJS T SOFTBALL TEAM LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: We opened play in our Thursday night league on June 8 and we didn't do so good; we lost to the Carr-DeLaney (Texins) team by a score of 5 to 2. Lionel Schulz started on the mound and hurled 3 1/3 innings, allowing 4 runs, 6 hits, 3 walks, and 2 strikeouts. Jim Scoggins relieved him

Wednesday, June 28, 1972 and hurled 3 2/3 innings, allowing 1 run, 1 hit, 4 walks and 7 strikeouts.

Leading hitters were Jim Scoggms with 2 singles; Bill Skrabanek, Lawrence Honza and Sonny Grant with singles; Connie Brennan with 3 walks, and Pete Thomas with 2 walks. We just needed more hits with runners on base to have won this game. I guess the team just had an off night.

Monday night, June 12. we did much better and the team came alive and beat Powers Electric, 4-3. In the bottom of the 5th inning, Powers scored 3 runs — the game was 0-0 up until then and things started lookin g; bad.

In the top of the 6th inning our team scored 4 runs with determination and good hard hits and this was the ole' bailgame. Lionel Schulz really gut tough when things got tight. and registered the win. Ho allowed 8 hits, 1 walk, and struckout 2 batters. (Tarry Wilkerson, his battery mate, turned in a fine game behind home plate.

Leading'hitters were Wiley Beesley with 2 singles; Albin (Bino) Vrana with a triple; Lawrence Honza with a double; Jack Scott with a single and 2 walks; Connie Brennan, Bill skrabanek and Lionel Schulz with singles.

Thursday night, June 15, we played John E. Mitchell at 8:30 p.m.

Thursday night, June 22, we played George Anderson at 7:15 p.m. and June 29, we will play Carr-DeLaney at 7:15 p.m. Monday night, June 19, we played Binks Mfg. at 7:15 p.m., and Monday night, June 26, we played Armored Car, at 7:15 p.m.

On Sunday, July 9, the annual Lodge No. 84, Dallas picnic is being held at the Sid and Justine Pokladnik farm at Ennis, and we are planning on an ol!cl-timer's bailgame which was so successful year before last. The oldtimers will play the current softball team and this year's team has vowed to beat the old-timers, so all of you "old time" ex-ballplayers take heed, get out that old glove and shoes, the old bat, and let's win again.

We hope to contact as many of the ex-ball players as possible, but we ask you, if you read this, to please call me, Ben Jarma, at 348-1514, Albin (Bino) Vrana at 279-9495, or Paul Valenta at 327-7970 and let us know if you plan to attend the picnic and this will save tit a lot of time and telephone calling.

NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Brothers and Sisters, At the time I am writing this the XXI SPJST Convention is in full sesksion at the Rice Hotel and everyone feels and hopes that a lot of good work will be accomplished.

The pre-convention reception was a lively affair, many delegates and their counter-parts were assembled and a lot of fraternal spirit was evidant. There is also a lot of activity planned for the evenings so that everyone has a chance to relax between the business sessions. But, you good members who did not get to attend the convention, don't despair, there is always peace and comfort at home — the kind you don't find anywhere else.

LODGE NO. 172, PASADENA Dear Members, I will try and give you a few highlights Of our grand opening. You members who didn't came out really missed a lot. We had plenty of drinks, food, and music, and I mean music!

Brother and Sister &nest Hanka were there with us, and guess who was the lucky winner of the first door prize? You're right, Brother Hanka!

Thanks for donating the bottle back to us, Brother Hanka.

Brother and Sister Walter Stewart kept up the fire works with their flash camera. They took some good pictures and still had time to join in the fun.

It's hard to tell who danced the most, Sister Stewart or Brother Myers.

We were happy to have Brother and Sister Alvin Sefcik join us. I think he got to meet some old friends again.

Since you now know the way, visit us again.

As you know, we had a battle dance between the Space City Dutchmen and

Veldan's Polka Dots of Houston. Before the dance was over, I think the Polka Dots were up in space as both bands were playing together for awhile. Both bands were wonderful.

Brother and Sister Otto Mikeska seemed to enjoy themselves. We surely hope they return to visit us soon.

Brother John Seale and Brother E. C. Baker and their wives weren't sitting down either. In fact everyone was up and dancing more than they were resting. I guess that's why the Myers and Matuseks are on vacation now, getting a good rest.

Brother and Sister Joe IVIachann looked very nice waltzing to the nice music. I think Sisters Machann, Peter, and Stewart did an excellent job of decorating our hall. We can't forget our other helpers, Sisters Hiavaty and Klechka and Brothers Doolan and Hlavaty. If I missed anyone, please forgive me; you must remember I was having fun, toa!

Let's all remember to beat our meetings and socials and join in the fun.

Brother and Sister Sid Pokladnik think of everything for the enjoyment of all who attend this annual affair.

If you aren't sure how to get on and off a horse then save your energy getting on and off the hay wagon, or for swinging that fishing rod — prizes for the biggest and smallest fish will be given — or just relax under those beautiful trees and wait for your favorite games to begin.

Our menu being served at 12 that LODGE

Please plan to come; it's no fun withcut you.

July 1 — this Saturday — is our `'`Tacky Dance" with music by the HiLighters." Cash prizes for the tackiest costumes will 'be given. What are you wearing?

Brother Will Nesuda thanked our membership for the use of the hall for the successful Czech school. It is the desire of most that it continue this fall, if a teacher can be located.

Congratulations, to the ball club! ,SPJST won the Monday night league rind tied for second in the Thursday night league.

Have you been to any of the games?

The second half of the season is just 'beginning and the schedule is in the last issue of the Vestnik. New members to our lodge include Randy, Randal, ,S,a-ndra, Lori and Steven Reljeek, and Melba L. Henzen. Welcome to all.

Brother Bohumil Kolenovsk,y was recently hospitalized but was able to be at the lodge for a little while at our last meeting — that was nice.

I would imagine everyone in the Dallas and Houston and surrounding areas know that Brother and Sister Jerome Rejcek became grandparents.

13i11 and Nodya Thornton are parents of, a little girl. Congratulations!

Our two teen-age girls competing for Lodge 84 queen are Cindy Horak and Vickey Petr. They need your support of their activities planned between now and the Princess Ball, July 15, and attend the ball, also.

Dear Members, I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the nominating committee for selecting me as One of the delegates to represent our lodge at the 21st Diamond Jubilee Convention which was held this past week at the Rice Hotel in Houston. It was a great experience for me and I enjoyed every moment of it, listening to the pros and cons.

All of us were so busy before the convention that we had to set everything else aside.; however, now we are again getting into full swing and are ready to start rehearsals for our English play, a hilarious comedy with an excellent east. We have great plans for the fall season with several beautiful operettas in mind and we have had many requests to repeat our last operetta, "Babicka z Moravy," so perhaps we will somehow be able to squeeze it in.

Thru May 31, we have written 538 applications and $1,783,000 in immr_ ance. Let's keen on reaching people as they need us to tell them about fraternalism.

I attended the FIC Convention at Bloomington, Minnesota and the Fraternal Field Manager's Association.

They had some good speakers, and I really enjoyed the convention. It was very inspiring; the speakers discussed

fraternalism and how we need to reach the people. These speakers also stressed the need for us to go back to our local lodges and our Supreme Lodge and tell about fraternalism. Another speaker stated that we have to live in and talk about it, if we are going to reach our goals. We have to set our goals and tc11 people about them; we also have to share great ideas with our people if we are going to reach them. The , SPJST has so many benefits that so many members are not told about. It's up to us to tell them, when we are them about our various insurance pi ans.

Our contest for the Texas Fraternal Congress is on the way. Let's all try to do our best; let's try to write business that will stay on the books. It is to our ben lit for our members to ,bold their policies. We are doing them a great service by giving them the protection they need.

There are people still asking "What is SPJST", and it is up to us, in the ;field and in our local lodges, to tell them about the SPJST. We are goin,g to be 75 years old this year, so let's make history for our Society in the State- of Texas.

Thank you again for doing a wonIderful job for the month of May. There are still some of your organizers who didn't write any insurance this year; let's not let the dust set on our briefcases and pens. Let's get to work, and do someone a good deed. Let's get enthusiastic about our work and try to do our best.

Fraternally, Evelyn Mikeska, FIC District V Organizer DISTRICT VI ORGANIZER'S REPORT I am proud of the wonderful job, you are doing. During May we received 31 applications for $53,000 of life insurance.

They are: James Vanek, president; Kerdonna Blair, vice president; Kathy Douglass, secretary; Gary Kocian, treasurer; Kirk Harrell, assistant, treasurer; Becky Motal reporter: and Kenneth Hitehlefield, sergeant-at-arms.

I have discussed the YAD, and have asked the youth to participate on this day, which will be held July 16, at Hillj e.

I suggested fund-raising projects for the youth to think about which we will discuss in our next meeting or in the near future. And also having various c-;tin:, s for our club during the months.

In ending our meeting I had review of the month of June. Our club had one member with a birthday this month so we sang "Happy Birthday" to Gayle Motal and refreshments were served.

In concluding our program, the youth worked on theiir craft.

Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Drozd for coming and helping our youth.

Yes, we've been getting little showers every day, so Victoria has plenty of moisture. This keeps the lawn mowers running on our beautiful lawns twice a week, but the rains are hard on the farmers—they need a little dry weather for their crops. Maybe it will clear up, for them; we hope so.

Our Lodge 32 delegate for the convention was Brother Matt Vanek.

Byl to Antal, ktery se byl peede d yema okamZiky tak tie ke stromu peed zeiceninou hradni piiplizil, ze Lola v zadumani svem ni nejmengiho o peichodu a blizkosti jeho netugila.

Oko mlade cikanky vyrazilo ze sebe divY blesk, kdy Lola poznala, kdo se to za ni peiplilil a v samote jeji ji vyrukvati se opovaZil.

"Nikdy, nikdy tak Lola neueini!" zvolala divka, s rostouci nevoli a od yratila hlavu od cikana, jehcg Zhoucich pohledu vice jako by snesti nemohla. "prye ode mne, a nikdy vice mne peitornnosti svou nesuZuj, jinak postaram se 0 ochrance, ktery kroky me peed doteravcem jako ty dovede stediti!"

"Co o pramati nagi tuto mluvig?" ta2ala se kvapne.

"Nuke, ona ti bude opakovati to, co k tobe prove chci ,pronesti, slovo za slovem."

Antal mluvil tak pevnS7m hlasein, ze divka tim byla piece ponekud zviklana v peesvedeeni svem o 1Zivosti jeho slov.
