SPJST DONATES CHECK TO EL CAMPO HIGH SCHOOL CZECH CLASSES For a number of years, Rogers High School was the only high school in Texas teaching Czech. Earlier this year, it became known that El Campo High School is in its second year of teaching Czech classes, thanks to the efforts and encouragement of some local interested citizens and the support of school officials.

made brief remarks regarding some of the fine young people in the classroom, some of whom they knew personally.

Bro.

He stated that the SPJST is happy to make this contribution and hoped that the SPJST In its efforts is given the appropriate acknowledgment. in this endeavor. He also pointed out that the recent convention continued the annual allocation of $2,000 to institutions of higher learning in the State of Texas that instruct in the Czech language, these two being Texas A&IVf University and the University of Texas in Austin at the present time.

LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Brothers and Sisters, There are many wonders created by man, but none compare to the wonders created by nature. Such was one example during the two weeks preceding the writing of this letter. First it was so very hot, in spite of man-made appliances trying to cool it off. Then came the persisting rain, dropping thousands of tons of water over the countryside, and the clouds, which seemed so harmless, so peaceful and yet the very next moment a bolt of lightning, more powerful than dynamite, comes crashing out of the cloudy sky. Then nature 'decides that it is time for a change and ban gs cool

5 breezes that sweep all the clouds from the sky, leaving it a beautiful blue, yonder, such as we are enjoying right now. It is really nice and cool. There hasn't been a cloud in the sky over Houston for the fifth straight day.

There seems to be less pollution in the and although it is already the mon;:dober, the lawns and trees are ) and preity. events at Lodge 83 — On October 14, there will be a' dance to the good music ititz of Taylor, Texas, and on ir ,,b) October 21st, there will be other semi-formal dance to the Smooth rhythm of the Mimes from La Grange. On Sunday, October 22, we have the big Czech Day celebration, so all of you ladies put up your formal gowns and put on those Czech costumes and head for Lodge 88 at W. 15th and Beall St, in Houston. The tasty braised beef dinner starts at 11 ;a.m. Yes, the good ladies will again bring some goodies to top off the dinner; at least they have never failed us before ... Please, ladies! Joe Gavranovic and KFRD radio station will broadcast from the celebration from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. The Lodge 88 Choral singing group and the Clarence Baca Band will also be heard. All this will be follow'ed by a short program — no speeches — and then the Grand Czech Costume March, to start off the big free dance from about 5 to 9 1 p.m. to Clarence's good dance music, so let's all be Czechs At least for this one day and have fun. On Friday, October 27, there will be a special dance to the well-known Buddy Brock 20-piece orchestra; better get your reservations soon, by calling 869-5.767 or see Harley Ca" on Thursday and Saturday nights at our lodge.

For our additional and various activities refer to the Entertainment Calendar in the Vestnik.

Here and there — The Vrazels dance was a big one. Good thing that Lodge 88 is built solidly on the ground, otherwise it might have •gone down like the "Titanic". They went to Arkansas and Missouri — the Herbert Jarisches and the E. Vanclerviers, that is, and they enjoyed the trip very much; stopped at Bronson, Mo., took in a wild west show (something comparable to the opera).

The mountains along the route were beautiful but sometimes obscured by low clouds. I wonder if Herbert's gripe was that the mountains were• too high

a or the clouds too low. There was, as Ellen Gill put it, a little sneaky party at the lodge kitchen Friday noon; a few members, invited a few more to port of prepare and have dinner together, but the connivery really was intended to surprise a few others for their birthdays. The surprises were to be Pearl Hanka, Ellen Gill, Elsie Zalesky, Birdie Wisher and Joe Miksch.

The surprise was also on Birdie Hilsher; she did not know that it was to be a surprise for her, also, and having other commitments, she missed it all. On Sunday evening there was another surprise for Sister Elsie Zalesky; a close group of friends assembled a nice assortment of food, refreshments and token gifts, whereupon A. J. and Gary Zalesky bribed her to come to the lodge on the pretence that they would see how the Kadleceks were doing with their party in our lodge park. The party turned out real good and I understand that the Kadlecek family made out real well, too, with their party, or really more of a family get-together. Hope I am right.

Due to my cold (while an ear doctor was blowing bubbles through one of my ears to, earn his meager fee, ha ha!)

I overheard, with my spare ear, that Micky and. Harry Rice had some of their close friends over for a blow-out at their nice country place, out SchuIenburg way. Sister Bessie Matyak had surgery recently and is doing fine.

Sister Anna Svestka is also doing and looking good. Sister Elenora Bristik is in a hospital for checkups. Hope Albert learns how to start a lawn mower and cuts the grass from now on. All jokes aside, I hope all the ill get well fast.

More next time. .

APPENDIX PROCEEDINGS OF THE XXIst CONVENTION, SPJST, HELD IN HOUSTON TEXAS, .111LTNI: 22nd, 1972 PUBLISHERS' BIDS June 21, 1972 Cechoslovak Publishing Co., of West, Texas, submits this bid for the printing of Vestnik for the years 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1976.

This bid is based on the same quality paper, same overall size of Vestnik, and same size type as used during the year 1972. The same. space would be used as in the past for advertising.

Our bid is $3.50 per copy, plus postage for mailing' the Vestnik, and this amount per copy is effective for the year 1973.

Such price shall prevail for each of the succeeding three years except that the price shall be decreased or increased according to the United States cost of living index and cost of newsprint, determined as of January 1st of each such succeeding year.

Cechoslovak Publishing Co. By: Jos- F. Holasek, President THE TAYLOR DAILY PRESS Taylor, Tekas 76574 June 1972 SPJST • Convention Rice Hotel Houston, Texas Dear Chairman and Delegates: Should your need for our help arise, The Taylor Daily Press would be very interested in printing the Vestnik with new modern offset printing equipment.

This would mean that each copy of the Vestnik would appear with easy to read type on offset white newsprint through-

9 out the year. The pictures would be as clear and sharp as the original photos. Also, there would be a Czech section.

We would like to present a number of different, proposals: l• We could print a 32 page book type, on regular offset white newsprint with the same format as you are now using, at a charge of , ,D'3.32 per sue per year, providing we be allowed four pages for commercial advertising copy, with us receivin g the revenue from this advertising. This would be a weekly publication of approximately 12,000 copies per week or more. Without the advertising space the charge would be $3.888 per issue per year.

2. The charge for printing the 32 page book type as mentioned in item 1 every other week instead of weekly would be 81.86 per issue per year.

3. We could print a 16 page tabloid newspaper, which would give you the same amount of space you now have in the 32 page book type publication, at a charge of $2.99 per issue per year.

This would be providing the total printing order runs at least approximately 12,000 copies per week for each of the 52 weeks of the year- It would include a Czech section. We would want two pages for commercial advertising. Without the advertising space the charge would be $3.50 per issue per year.

4. The charge for a tabloid published every other week would be $1.50 per issue per year.

There would be no engraving charges for pictures.

These figures would include setting the type from your edited copy and printing along with handling the copies for mailing. They do not include the postage charge.

In addition, we would let your editor use desk space in our office and there would be no rent or utility charges with the exception that the editor would probably want to have a separate telephone for Vestnik installed.

Such a telephone would be at Vestnik expenseAs mentioned before, each of the above proposals would include a Czech section. There would be no changes in deadlines and we could get the papers printed and to the post office on Tuesdays.

We would be in favor of negotiating a contract on a year to year basis or longer if there is a provision in a two,

10 (e three or four year contract to care of rising production costs.

Sincerely, Bob Mathis, Publisher • Juno 21, 1972 PUBLICATION COMMITTEE, SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT Since our regular meeting held March 23, 1972 and our report printed in the Vestnik of April 19, 1972 we held a special meeting which was called for May 14, 1972 for the purpose to caution our editor AGAIN to be more selective in his editorials and submit any doubtful material to the publication committee for a final decision.

Atter some deliberation, our meeting adjourned with the editor's promise to do so.

Win. Miculka • ACTUARY'S REPORI"10 THE XXIst SPJST CONVENTION In 1968 the membership indicated approval of the reserve strengthening .recommendation contained in the Actuary's Report to the XX.th Convention, and this reserve, strengthening was done as of December 31, 1968 in the amount of $764,624.00. The strengthening reduced surplus but did not impair the financial strength of the fraternal as the strengthening might he viewed as a reclassification of assets.

The action indicated a stronger intent on the part of SPJST to meet future certificate claims and obligations as they become due.

A program of individual certificate refunds to members was begun in 1969.

The refund level was, set initially at a ,;rather high lovel to pay a one-year bonus benefit to members of long duration and who had a large certificate reserve. As you are aware, the refund, :rate was subssquently reduced but it is anticipated that the level of refunds will remain on the current scale fOr the near future. Your attention is directed to the 'SPJST Financial Sum„friary 1968-1971 which shows refunds to members incurred by calendar year.

The following must be kept in mind as we look. ahead. The current rate 'book has premium rates calculated on an age near birthday basis but these Were not adjusted when the age last birthday basis was initiated. This Amounted to increasing certificate,

V2STNfK benefits without a corresponding increase in premiums and might make us face the following alternatives in the future: a. A revision of premium assessment rates. b. Reduced refunds to members with age last birthday certificates and possibly all members. c. Reduced refunds to local lodges.

In view of these possibilities I sug-

Wednesday, October 11, 1972' gent a continual review of sources of gains and losses to SPJST and a review of the current premium rates. Also I recommend that all refund rates be held at the present level until we can see what results emerge as the age last birthday insurance matures.

The committee appointed was composed of Sister Maxine Pavliska, and Brothers Dan Balusek and Sid Pokladnik.

The purpose of the committee was to determine and report to this convention on the feasibility of the SPJST sponsoring a Family Youth Camp and Recreation Park.

Your committee felt that it was necessary for each Nnunittee member to become involved directly with the youth in their camp life so that the report to you would be a valid one and our first-hand experience.

This was accomplished by visiting each of the seven SPJST Youth -Camps which were held at Val Verde, Bastrop State Park, and Camp Holly Grove.

In addition the following camps were visited: Herman Sons at Comfort, Glen Lakes Methodist Youth Camp at Glen Rose: Girl Scout Camp at Winiwaca near Rosebud, Texas, and the Bre-

thren Church Camp at Caldwell, Texas.

We feel that these visits to a variety of camps in Texas gave your committee a good insight into the value and utility of such camps.

We wanted to know how our youth, and for that matter, how the adults felt about a family camp and as a result of our visits, we can tell you their wishes and desires.

In our visits to the camps we participated in all areas of camp life and functioned as a Family Youth Camp Committee- This activity enabled us to see the operation of all phases of camp life.

Following are the findings of your committee: 1. Both youth and adults were in favor of a year-round SPJST Family Youth Camp and recreation area.

2. Most favored one camp site centrally located.

3. Majority voted in favor of returning to a permanent camp each year.

4. By popular vote the youth would like camping by age groups.

5. Recreation preferences are: Swimming, horseback riding, mini bikes, outdoor camping, crafts, canoeing, hay

Wednesday, October 11, 19'72 riding and archery.

6. One-week camps preferred. (Come in Sunday and leave Saturday).

7. Campers. . . both youth and adult agree that some fee should be charged for SPJST summer youth camp 8. It was agreed by most of the youth that local youth clubs should have special projects to defray some of the costs.

9. Olympic size swimming pool (45 ft. x 82 ft.).

10. Man-made lake for canoeing was preferred over a river site.

11. All the youth commented that is one of the best sponsored SPJST youth activities.

1. A Family Youth Camp and Recreation Park should be self-supporting.

2. The camp should be operated on a 12-month basis.

3. Schedules of rates should provide for SPJST membership. . special rates for SPJST regular Youth Camps . . . and rates for the general public, to be determined by the camp director.

4. Our findings as reported to you are based cn an operation for approximately 300 persons per camp session. This, however, could be changed to a smaller camp if desired.

5. All the figures and information given here was secured by our investigation of our own SPJST youth camps and other Societies and organizations who operated similar camps. We believe our report on costs of facilities and operations is realistic.

6. We found that while the costs of day-to-day operation vary in different parts of the state, building costs are approximately the same statewide.

Your committee hopes that the information we have given you will enable you as delegates to make a decision on this project that will be in the

11 best interests of our Society.

There are many people who deserve thanks for making the royalty competition, as successful as it was — the parents of all contestants for bringing the youth to Ennis and helping them look so nice in their pretty dresses and dark suits and tux; Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Hrasbina and Mrs. Wilma Nesuda for the many hours spent in getting the hall ready early Sunday morning for the visitors and contestants to their lodge home; and thanks to all the DYDs and members for helping so faithfully with the jobs assigned them.

A special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Casebolt who took several hours to take pictures and offered such splendid coverage in the Ennis Daily News.

We were very pleased with the representation that our fraternal organization had at this royalty contest. It Proves that our youth are interested

More Royalty pictures next week.

Well you know, we couldn't keep up with them; evidently they were thirsty.

'Then it was time for the ball game and it was exciting. All of us. enjoyed the ball game.

It was time for us to board the bus for Taylor at 6 p.m. Here we were on our way home again. Our first stop was another roadside park, and had some more good food to eat with refreshments. During our bus ride most of us became sleepy and somewhat tired. Millie and Catherine started singing and here all of us joined them in singing; time went by fast. Some of us tried walking back and forth while the bus was traveling and it was comical to see some of the members hold on to keep from falling; anyone who can walk without holding to some handles while a bus is traveling at a; fast speed certainly has been trained for bus walking, I hope we can go again. I am sure that all the members had a wonderful day. ,

The way this trip originated was during our adult meeting one of our faithful members spoke up and asked 'if we would like to go to Houston to the ballgame and that everything would be paid by the lodge. All of us agreed to go.

My husband and I are happy to be SPJST members. I hope to see you on October 15th.

Pod nranorem tralieba Roman ze stoleti JOSEF SV ATER Pokra6ovart "Kalich a Praha," kaki Jere KrocinovbskY cikanovi a, pak obratil se dolt' do vsi za panem z Techenic.

VtBTNIE Valesko pahlftel mirky za nim a pak 'Lei on se dal stranou k itdolu, p1i2e se mezi stromy a ploty jako noeni stin jakYsi, take by i bystre oko nebyl krodejily jeho rozeznalo.

Zaroven napinal mlady cikan ostrY zrak i sluch do dalky, '2e mu nemoihl ujiti ni nejmenSi pohyb ani nej:31abgi zvuk v dalekem ekoli.

"Tug im, 2e se surovy onon mut jen klamal," pravil sain. k sae, kdy2 ocitl na konci act a plate' a °pet c',3 pied nim otevi podel praveho Kne2ne prostirala, take pre; 7:11a3ici gero veee_ni mohl az na ' y k eh dohlednouti, kde v nevelike vzdalenosti °pet les potinal, jen byl ptes tamni table navr gi ve spojeni s lesy eastolcvickYmi a kosteleckYmi, tak 2e lesiny tyto prostoru nekolika hodin cesty polerkvaly.

Pozornost Valeskova upjata byla, vgak prozatim na nejbli2gi okoli.

Po delgi dobu rozhlizel se tedy na vge steany, naslouchal katclemu hnuti, ale neslygel nic, net ge/esteni vetru ye vrcholcich blizkeho protej giha lesa a gumeal vody v Kne2ne ktera tu Sirokym, ale hlubokYm teeigtem, huste velkYmi kameny a balvany posetYm, dale k Castolovictitm a omYvala paty kamenu arngenych zeetenymi vinkami.

"Zde by nebylo lze rozeznat ani dusot kone, fiche kroky eloveka, jen se za zradnYmi. Umysly pravil Valesko sam k soil* kdy pa deli dobu pozorovani svo, einil a seznal, v gelesteni yam a hueeni vody jinY slabgi zvuk snadno mute zaniknouti.

Povstal ze shrbeneho postaveni sveho a vzptimiv se, sklouzl po svahu navrgi dolt' k nekolika ktovinam, ktere se v nevelkych mezerach at ku biehu Hay tahly.

"Musim se nutne podivati na druhou stranu a poohlednouti se po lese tamnim," pokraeoval Valesko dale ye aye samomluve; `jen odtamtud by mohlo hrcziti nejake nebezpeei, nebot` na vgech stranach jest krajina otevtena a zbrojenci se tam zajiste postaraji vystavenYmi strazemi o bezpeei sve, kclezto v lese °pet ja stratni alohu pievezmu.

Net vgalk se dal ptes vodu na bteh protej g i, zastavil se pod jednou z vrbovYch zticenin a pilne se na vgechny strany kolem sebe Po nekolika okamtenich bedliveho pc) zorovani pak pravil sam k sae; "Na teto strane nevideti nic podezteleho, nyni se podivam tea na druhou stranu teky, chive v gak bud' take Ode pod nohami pattie'na, pozornost Onovana, jak toho na podobnYch vYpravach tteba jest."

Po tech slovech sklonij se k zemi a take podal pildu pozorne prohliteti, jak tom.0 u cikanet v obyeeji bylo, kdykoli chteli nejakou kokist stihati a Slepeji j ej i vypatrati.

Bral se ptitom vzhilru po tece, oi pidg el k onomu mistu, kde 'Ulna se druha facia houStin od poslednich chatrCi libelskych at dolt ke Knein, tale2e se mohlo i na to strane nepozorovane tieky dosahnout a do protej giho lesa se dostati.

Zejmena na tomto miste sousttedil Valesko veSkeru pozornost svoji, a yeru nernelo patrani jeho zustati neodmeneno.

Skloniv se tatit zde u sameho houSti k zemi, spatkil ye vlhke 'pude gleneje lid ske, ktere podle ostrYch obrys0 svYch teprve pted kratkou dobou ueineny byte musily.

Byly to glepeje eloveka, jen2 se Po strani dolt' k tece nepachybne aby se na druhou stranu do lesa dostal.

"61ovek ten utikal", pravil s jiskticimi zraky Valesko sam k sobe, `jak to dokazuje velika vzdalenost glepeje od glepeje; jen na Uteku delaji se podobne skoky, jake byly ony, jimit tajemny elovek ten k lest' pospichal. Jit nevi pochybnosti, 2e rytit ptece jen dobte slygel a videl, ae ma tajneho slidila za sebou na stone. Nu2e, dopatram se i klubka. sameho, jehot razvinutou nit tuts nalezl!"
