SING A SONG Sing a song, sing a song, Ring the glad-bells all along; Smile at him who frowns at you, He will smile and then they're two.

Laugh a bit, laugh a bit, Folks will soon be catching it, Can't resist a happy face; World will be a merry place.

Laugh a Bit and Sing a Song, Where they are there's nothing wrong; Joy will dance the whole world through But it must begin with you. troduction and recognition of special guests; several well-known numbers Tendered by Dallas Czech Concert Orchestra; and the main attraction of the colorful Beseda composed of young and adult participants from Dallas, Seaton, Houston, and San Antonio.

Brother Calvin Chervenka was master of ceremonies.

Part II of the program followed at the Women's Building for some more Beseda dancing by groups from Dallas and singing by the Czech Junior Choir of San Antonio. The entertaining program continued in the Band Shell with food and refreshments, and the Peppermint Orchestra of Dallas providing good music. A parade of colorful and original costumes followed.

The continuation of the event also

continued at the Mobil Stage. This was composed of Sokol exhibition, Moravian Beseda, both of Dallas, and singing by the Seaton Czech Choral Group. Some of the festivities were televised the same night over Channel 8, Dallas-Fort Worth.

Your editor wishes to compliment the American-Czech Culture Society far their accomplishment. The annual affairs have developed into a very important facet of activity for the Czech societies in Texas. Their record is impressive, but no more so than the story of the men and women whose efforts and personal integrity and devotion to our heritage have contributed so 'much to make this 32nd anniversary successful.

• Dear Editor: The South Texas Genealogical and Historical Society, PO Box 40, Gonzales, Texas 78629, would like any information on John Peter Kramer, born in Germany about 1835; married Mary Matusek in 1850 in Austria, lived in Texas and they were the parents of 8 children. The Society would like to know when they immigrated.

Since the names Kramer and Matusek are of Czechoslovak origin, I feel that the Vestnik and all who can, will lend them a hand.

Fraternally, R. W. Cervenka

Features DOROTHY TOMASEK AND TWENTY YEARS OF LOYAL AND DEVOTED SERVICE On September 3, 1952, Dorothy Tomasek (nee Martinek) Caine to work in the Supreme Lodge of the SPJST under Secretary J. F. Chupick. Thus, this past September 3 marked the 20th year of her loyal and devoted service to the SPJST Supreme Lodge.

Since that day was relatively close to the October meeting of the Supreme Lodge, it was decided to postpone the observance of this occasion and pay special tribute to Sister Dorothy in the presence of the entire Supreme Lodge on Wednesday, October 11, 1972. Just before noon, all the employees assembled in the conference room, at the Supreme Lodge, and President Morris introduced all of the employees to the board, including the new directorselect who will take office January 1.

Those introductions out of the way, President Morris then announced that we were going to observe something special on this date, that is a tribute to Sister Dorothy Tomasek upon the completion of 20 years of service to the Supreme Lodge. The idea for this tribute came from Secretary R. A. Urbanovsky, under whom Dorothy has been working since January 1, 1961. President Morris and Secretary Urbranovsky then presented a plaque to Sister Dorothy on behalf of the Supreme Lodge.

The inscription on the plaque reads, "This plaque is awarded to Dorothy Tomasek for 20 years of devoted and loyal service ® Supreme Lodge, SPJST".

Arrangements had been made with school officials to have Sister Dorothy and Charlie Lee Tomasek's daughter Theresa present for the presentation, who had previously slipped in a rear entrance at the Supreme Lodge unnoticed by her mother. Incidentally, husband Charlie Lee was out of state on business and could not be present.

Theresa then pinned a beautiful corsage on her mother, 'and had to be whisked back to school in time for class.

Special Tribute to Dorothy Tomasek. On October 11, 1972, Dorothy Tomasek was given a plaque and ring in recognition of 20 years of loyal service to the Supreme Lodge, SPJST.

Bro. Urbanovsky then presented Dorothy with a special SPJST ring that Sister Dorothy had previously expressed a fondness for. Needless to say, Sister Dorothy was overwhelmed by the tributes and accolades. A short luncheon and social was enjoyed by all the employees shortly after. In their presentations, President Morris and Secretary Urbanovsky both praised Dorothy for her efficiency and overall competence in discharging her duties oven these many years. Bro. Urbanovsky said, "She is a great secretary, and I could not have done my job without her."

Later in the afternoon, Sister Dorothy Tomasek was called into the Board Room and told that she had been selected by the Supreme Lodge for the position of assistant to the secretarytreasurer, effective January 1, 1973.

When this was later announced to the employees, all joined in wishing Sister Dorothy the best of everything in her new position and offered their congratulations. As President Morris said in his remarks that afternoon, "Sister Dorothy, October 11 should be remembered by you for a long time because some very nice things happened to you on this date".

The entire Supreme Lodge and mem-

bership of the SPJST salute and congratulate Sister Dorothy Tomasek on her many years of past service and wish her well in her new position. — SL, PR Office.

IN APPRECIATION Temple, Texas October 19, 1972 On October 11, 1972, I was very much surprised and honored by the entire Supreme Lodge body and employees on my 20th anniversary with the SPJST. I was presented a plaque by Bro. Morris, in behalf of the Supreme Lodge, and also given a SPJST emblem ring by my boss, Bro. Urbanovsky. My daughter, Therea Ann, pinned a carnation corsage on me. During noon a buffet luncheon was served to all present and very much enjoyed. Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for the tribute given me on this day, and I shall always cherish the occasion. In looking back, the past 20 years seem only a few short summer's ago, as the work at 'the Supreme Lodge has been so interesting and pleasant, and all the personnel lave are the greatest. 'Thanks to you who made this possible. May God bless you.

To all the Supreme Lodge body, may I offer my personal thank you and

There were more than 600 delegates, most of them top leaders of 67 Fraternal Benefit Societies that had representatives at the conclave, plus many visitors. Almost 800 persons attended the annual ,convention banquet. In each case this was about 100 persons more than for any previous convention.

Attending from the SPJST were President Nick Morris, Secretary R. A. Urbanovsky, Treasurer Leonard Mikeska, Financial Secretary Ben Zabcik, and Directors John Kubena, Henry Vitek, Sid Pokladnik, E. J. Hanka, E. P. Sralla, and DO Evelyn Mikeska• It was the first NI-VA convention in Dallas, and in Texas, since 1953, and those wha had attended that earlier convention were astounded that Dallas had more than doubled in size in those 19 years, from 400,000 to about 1 million persons. The gathering of fraternalists, likewise, was more than twice as large as it was 19 years ago.

They came from all over the United States and Canada.

Nick T. Newberry, Omaha, national president of the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society, once attended Southern Methodist University in Dallats and his return to "Big D" in completing this year as NFCA president was a glowing triumph.

The speakers, including former U. S.

VP STNtIC Olympic Champion, Bob Richards, were outstanding, and they inspired their listeners to keep the "Faith In Fraternity," which has been the NFCA's motto for this year, and to go on to greater things in then service to their members and to mankind.

Texas Governor Preston Smith came to Dallas from Austin to welcome and address I he delegates. Governor Smith told the fraternalists that their societies have made contributions in a humane way that cannot be measured in dollars and cents."

Next year's convention will, be held at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans from September 23 -- 26• Las Vegas will be the site in 1974 and Cincinnati in 1975.

The 1972 convention featured a "Fraternal spectacular", with young people performing in dancing, singing and musical groups, many of them in folk. costumes. The SPJST was represented

by Cheryl Ann Gaydosik of Brookshire, playing 2 trumpet solos. There also was an evening entertainment at SP JST Lodge No. 84 hall in Dallas. At general, sessions and sectional luncheon meetings there were speaker's for key personnel of fraternal benefit societies: presidents, secretaries, actuaries, investment personnel, public relations directors, field managers, fraternal activities directors, legal counsels, medical directors, and others.

Kenneth T. Severud, Lutheran Brotherhood, Minneapolis was elected president of the NFCA for the coming year, succeding Newberry. Michael Ettel, Catholic Aid Association, St. Paul, Minnesota, wais elected vice president and Raymond A. Klee, Chicago, Illinois, secretary - treasurer on a fulltime basis .

There is no way Ida Schultz who is recuperating from surgery can get Brother Lionel to use that pitching arm to secure hanging grapes and pears (her favorite) for her, but I'll bet, if she progresses well, he will at least bring her to enjoy the sights you can readily see during the "harvesting." Are you coming?

Get-well wishes go to Sister Ellie Frederick and Brother Danny Ziadle.

Our lodge welcomes the Wishnesky family: Billy, Theresa, Stephanie and Darryl, and the Kohuteks: Stephen, David, Albert, Barbara, and Jim; also Suzanne and Steven Graham, all who became members last month.

CZECH TEACHER NEEDED For the last several years, there has been a Czech school for adults held in Dallas with a satisfactory degree of success.

The classes were held, for about 11/2 to 2 hours per period, in the evening, once, a week for about 30 weeks each school term.

The school term from October 1969 to spring 1970 was held in the Sokol Hall in Dallas with Mrs. Josie Kankrlik teaching; she now lives in San. Antonio.

The school term from October 1970 to spring 1971 was held in the SPJST Lodge Pokrok Hall in Dallas with Dr. Bohumil Svoboda teaching. Dr. Svoboda was in Dallas from Czechoslovakia, working for a film studio; his contract expired, he went back to Czechoslovakia.

The school term from October 1971 to spring 1972 was also held in the SPJST Lodger Pokrok Hall in Dallas with Mrs. Ludmila Krulich teaching. In that last school term there were 30 adults enrolled. Mrs. Krulich who has been in the United States only a little over three years, now has a medical doctor's degree, and is now fully occupied as an intern in the St. Paul Hospital in Dallas, therefore unable to devote any time to any other activity beskies her home and her occupation.

This leaves our Czech School Committee without a Czech teacher up to the present time. We would still like to have an evening Czech School in Dallas if possible. If anyone could, or

13 knows of anyone who could devote the time, one evening per week to this course please contact Will A. Nesuda, 9517 Redondo Drive, Dallas, Texas, Phone 327-2684.

14 a few remarks to keep from duplicating with secretary Brother Amos.

"Happy Birthday" was sung to all who ;got old'Jr in October. President Tillie Heinicamp honored all the committees with a nice skit presented by Della (Qacenie) Kadlecek and Harry (Henry) Finn. Seems as though Della was raising chickens that didn't lay eggs fast enough, and she fell in love with Henry who was also raising chickens. So she rigged up things to make him propose but all Henry want'Al was for her to take care of his chickens, while he went on vacation and without any rope attachments. But you know Della, sayin g no to her is like saying yes. in spite of the chickens and all, she made him propose and just then the curtain closed so we could not see whether they got married or chickened out. They played the skit very well. Committee prizes were won by Vlasta Zalmanek, Evelyn Mikeska, H. Jarisch and Carl Lindemann. Door prizes went to Robort Martinek and Carl Lindemann (Lucky). Brother Raymond Zapletal .spoke before the members pertaining to organizing an SPJST concert band for Lodge 88. More on this later.

The District V meeting at the Legion Hall in Rosenberg was fairly well attended and nicely conducted. Some dignitaries from the Supreme Lodge and their familieS; also Editor Rudy Sefeik and his wife were present. But when the delegates were counted, there were not near as many as before the convention. Maybe they were out hunting?

This is getting close to that season, you know!

A. J., Elsie, and Gary Zalesky were the donors of refreshments for our October meeting. Elsie and A. J. also celebrated their birthdays and we certainly wish them many more happy ones. The youth group also surprised.

Lynn Lesak with a little birthday party at our Thursday night social.

Last, btit net least, the, good sisters really had some good snacks and refreshments which they served after the meeting. Victor Peter of Lodge 172, Pasadena underwent open heart surgery at St. Luke's Hospital; however, he is already well enough to talk a )blue streak. Hope he is completely well soon. More next time!

At this time I am overjoyed to make the roport. We have met our quota in nine months; thru September we have written $3,256,000 in insurance and 1,119. in members. We have three months to go, so I hope we break the record in our district. Let's all try to do our best for our 75th anniversary year; this is all history for the future.

VrSTNTIC

Let's all remember to set our goals and go over them. The SPJST has a lot of benefits to offer to our members; let's put extra effort into our work to see more people, because this is the only way we can grow. The more people we sce the more insurance we can sell, and our Society will benefit from this.

I attended, for the first time, the Fraternal Spectacular (Thxas Style) and the program was groat. The program chairman was Brother Sid Pokladnik from our SPJST. This is where our District V Miss SPJST for our convention played two trumpet solos. Her selections "Wonderland By Night" and "Polonaise IV were groat; that was Cheryl Ann Gaydosik from Lodge 42..

Keep up the good work, Cheryl Ann. The afternoon was spent with great entertainment and those of you in the Dallas area really missed a great program. This program was put on by our youths and adults from different fraternal societies.

Also attended the 86th annual meeting of the National Fraternal Congress of America. Mr. Nick T. Newberry is president of this organization. The ;subject of the convention was "Faith In Fraternity." There were steveral days of meetings and speakers with many topics. Mr. J. D. Anderson, president of Guarantee Mutual Life Co. spoke on "'The Priceless Ingredient"; another speaker, Dan Eddy spoke on "How Fraternals Relate to the CornImunity ." Other speakers and topics were Wm. J. Ruth, Jr., (Organization and General Management); Helen Hardin (Records Management); Gary D. Ashenbrenner (Communications).

He stated that communications are a vital part of the fraternal benefit system. It extends from home office personnel to local lodge activities and can be particularly effective for lodge development. At another session we had Bartley L. Munson ("Consumerism and the Fraternal Benefit System). He told of the kinds of benefits that societies can provide for their members. Then we had a panel discussion on Ideas that Work, Sales and Services to Members. The panel presented ideas that have worked exceptionally well for their respective societies. Then we heard Mr. Clarence J. Skelton, president of Republic National Life. Insurance Co. speak on "The Market Place"; how complicated it will be in the future. Everyone especially enjoyed Bob Richards, champion athlete who spoke

on motivating people.

Thank you again for the great job keep it up for the remainder of the year. If, at any time, I can be of any help, please let me know; you can call or write ma. I am traveling the district and trying to visit as many lodges and members as possible.
