JULY 18, 1973

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK District V YAD, July 22, at Lodge No. 88', Houston. e We promised to write more about the Lodge No. 74, Lovelady opening of' their new lodge home on July 4.

When we arrived there was a large and lively crowd already assembled and friends from many other lodges were present. We saw so many of our longtime acquaintances that they are too numerous to try to mention here, and we met many new fraternalists.

Mention will be made of some as we proceed, however, first let us state that all of the officers and members of Lodge 74 are to be commended for their tireless efforts. Of course, Lodge 74 President Hafner and Sales Representative Shmoldas were probably the main Motivators of the project, but it took many members working in harmony to accomplish what they did. Our thanks to all for the courtesies, well-wishes and the good time we enjoyed.

Your editor sat down at a small table with two "oldtimers" Brother Joe Ska7 licky, Sr., and Brother Pavel Strban, both of Crockett, who both probably sumed up the meaning of the occasion of the revived Lodge No. 74 best. They made statements such as: "Who would have thought this could ever happen!" We have been asleep so long and now we have a lodge home!"

And when the Seaton Choral Club sang

RECIPE FOR A HOME Half a cup of friendship And a cup of thoughtfulness Creamed together with a pinch Of powdered tenderness.

Very lightly beaten In a bowl of loyalty With a cup of faith, and one of hope, And one of charity.

Be sure to add a spoonful each Of gaiety — that sings And also the ability To-laugh-at-insignificant-things.

Moist with the sudden tears Of heartfelt sympathy; Bake in a good-natured pan And serve repeatedly.

—Author Unknown "At the Spring" ("Ustudanky"), both, with dimmed eyes, intently listened and Brother Skalicky remarked: "Boy, who would have, thought that these East Texas piney woods would ever hear that beautiful Czech song again!"

We sat and chatted together for about an hour and reminisced about by-gone days when your editor's father and mother would load our family of four children in the Model-T Ford and we would go visit our parents' friends (whom they had made acquaintance with through their letters to the Vestnik) in Trinity, Groverton, Moscow,

and Lovelady (all in that East Texas area). One family your editor recalls is the Esterak family in that area. The thought remains: How time flies! At any rate, it was a really enjoyable day — all of it. Keep up the good work!

With the many SFJST district activities held annually throughout the state, we were privileged again to witness a nice YAD which took place in District II, Sunday, July 8, at Lodge 24, Cyclone. Each year the youth endeavor to have some type of entry in various categories that require a suitable place for accommodation and comfort for all to enjoy. The host lodge truly had such conveniences for everyone present to enjoy last Sunday.

Upon our arrival a cloudburst took place and we were unable to enter the building to witness the beginning (ages 6-9) Individual Talent contest. Although, we feel certain they were wellperformed as were the ones we witnessed. The arts and crafts department was well exhibited for the judges to inspect and make their decisions. A large display of entries attracted many viewers after the results of the contest were announced; also the royal court ceremonies and other awards which followed; all were under the supervision of SL Secretary-Treasurer Leonard Mikeska and SYD Dorothy Massey.

Your editor's attention immediately

focussed on the Science-Educational entry winch was a 1,velleribleci one, appreciating the electric II technology required to complete the time-consuming project: Generally speaking, the overall entries were well-executed and deserve our comments.

Congratulations to DYC Frank Kilnkovsky, Assistant DYC Pat I omastik, youth leaders plus all the many members who were involved in any phase of work during such a. lar , c project.

And to the winning coin estm ts: good luck is extended to all of you at the state level!

Our hats are off to you fine frater4-mlists who continue insp:lring interest in our SPJST youth. A thank you is in order to the host lodge for the warm hospitality that was extended to your editor and family.

Ill friend needs your lhanny visit Cheerful hospital visitors, Path relatives and friends can do more for the mental recovery of a patient than medical science. Have you checked your hospital manners lately?

A patient needs and wants your visits, flowers, cards and, smiles. Each patient longs to hear that he is missed.

Frequently visits help to keep the ill from falling into the "blues".

When you take flowers, choose a, low, compact arrangement that will fit well on the hospital furniture,.

Pastel arrangements or vivid, cheerful bouquets are best. Do not select flowers with a heavy scent. Them could be disturbing in a small room or ward. Ask your florist to select blooms with a delicate fragrance.

Do not crowd sick room — if you cannot visit in person, wire flowers.

Any florist telegraph delivery member will send flowers to almost any part of the world. Flowers are one of the best ways of telling the patient he is remembered. Most patients should not have more than one or two visitors at a time. Too many at once only tire and irritate a patient. Also discuss topics of interest to the patient during your visit. Always stick to an optimistic viewpoint. Talk about Tom's good marks, not his bad behavior. Do not complain about how difficult things are at home. Instead, mention that everyone is cooperating in. 2: etting along as well as possible until the patient returns.

Keep visits brief. — Do not demand a detailed report on the patient's con,idition but let him comment on his

Wednesday, July 18, 1973 health as he wishes. Limit your visit to no more than 20 minutes. A brief, fiveminute call is preferable. Keep the following hospital hints: Speak in a soft tone of voice, never sit on the patient's bed, do not smoke unless the patient is smoking, do not visit if you have a cold, leave small children at home and do not give the patient candy or food without first checking with doctor or nurse.

• • SOME THINGS. MONEY CANNOT BUY In these days of computers and robots, it seems that products can be purchased for nearly every need of mankind.

And some believe that machines can do anything.

These are machines for bookkeeping...machines that fly us to London or Tokyo in a few hours ...machines that carry men into s pace and bring them, safely home again... machines that can figure the exact trajectory for flying to, and landing on, the moon...machines, even, that select our lifetime mates!

Thus, one is inclined to thin k, machines can supply every possible need. But wait!

There is no machine that rnanufactures morality, or sincerity or kindness. No one can sell you courage when you are sick at heart, or supply honesty when you are frantic with the worry of debts.

Nor are there machines to help us overcome selfishness or envy or unethical practices. The strength that controls these evils must be produced by our own minds and hearts. Each of us must build it for himself.

If you hunger for success, you must ,supply the vital ingredients. No store handles the, parts and not even govern ment billions can get them for you And, thank goodness, no machine knows how to create within us the glorious ecstasy of atthievement, or the exquisite joy of helping others through the service of our profession.

No although the scheme of living is inflexible, it is remarkably just!

— From the writings of Alden C. Palmer.

Emil H. Horelica, 08, passed away suddenly at his home in Houston during the night and morning of Wednesday, July 11. Funeral services were held Friday, July 13, from the Heights Funeral Home in Houston with burial in the Rest Haven Cemetery. The SFJST was represented by SL President Nick. Morris 'and District V Director and Lodge 88 President Ernest J. Hanka, who co-officiated at the funeral home and at the cemetery.

Brother Horelica was a longtime member of Lodge 88, Houston, having served on several committees and prominent positions, having currently been serving as lodge first vice president.

• • On the morning of July 8, 1973, Mrs. Henry (Lillie) Matula of West was pleasantly surprised when the phone rang and a Czech voice on the other end was that of Mrs. Agnes Cervenka, her 85-year-old mother who lived at the Bluebonnet Rest Home in Granger.

The reason Mrs. Matula was so surprised was because her mother has never talked' on the telephone before in all her 85 years. Mrs. Cervenka was spending the day with another daughter, Mrs. Mary Conlee of Jerrell, Texas.

It was an exciting event for all three, Grandma Cervenka had never spoken on the phone because she thought you had to speak only English into it, Which is something she cannot do.

Mrs. Anne (Morris) Bell of Dallas, passed away late Saturday night, July 7, in a Dallas (Oak Cliff) hospital.

Funeral services were held on Monday, July 9, from the Dudley Hughes Funeral Home in Dallas. Mrs. Bell was a retired school teacher. She was the oldest of a family of nine and was a sister to Supreme. Lodge President Nick A. Morris.

President Hafner always convenes: the meeting. Sister Dorothy Smith reads the minutes of the preVious meeting and is very good in her work.

All our meetings are enjoyable and I urge more of you to attend if you possibly can.

Everyone worked so eagerly for the opening on July 4th and the reward was great. The satisfaction it gave to everyone involved •is more than I can explain on paper. I can earnestly say it was a great day for all at Lovelady Lodge No, 74.

On behalf of all the lodge members, I want to take this opportunity to thank SL President Nick Morris for all the wonderful help in publicizing his write-up on our lodge's establishment and for making many phone calls to complete the last-minute details of the op ening; to our Vestnik Editor Rudy Sefcik, who contributed very nice front page articles about promoting our lodge home, and who enjoys promoting the entire SPJST; to the Vestnik publisher, the Cechoslovak Publishing Co., in West, Texas, for graciously donating a full page of advertising as a courtesy of the company. I realize that this advertisment would have been costly to our lodge had we had to nay for it, so thanks again.

Most of those named, who have knowledge of the Czech language, joined voices and sang those beautiful Czech songs. Many from other lodges and espocially Brother Rudy Hafner from the host lodge, joined in the merrymaking.

Everyone from our lodge expresses best wishes to Lodge 74, Lovelady, on the completion of this new lodge home an l may they enjoy prosperity in the years to cotre. You have a lovely building, something to really be proud of.

Continued success to Brothers Hafner and Shmoldas and all the membership and may your lodge show a steady increase. We enjoyed your hospitality.

ST—

zanec, State Field Manager Silas Smith, plus many members from sister lodges Nos. 24, 47, 66, 87, 88, 142, 172, and of course, many members from Lodge Lovelady. The Seaton Choral Club also provided nice songs for a great entertainment. Our Lovelady lodge youth members presented a very nice program. The enthusiasism of these youngsters is fine evidence of the fine leadership by Sister Alice Hafner and Sister Erma Mathis.

We thoroughly enjoyed having so many important people and officers from such long distances. Some of them came from as far as Florida and other Texas cities such as: Academy, Dallas, Holland, Houston, Pasadena, Rogers, Seaton, Temple, Waco, and West, and the surrounding CrockettLovelady areas.

SL President Nick Morris, Editor Rudy Sefcik, Brother Lad Zatopek, District II Sales Representative and 'State Youth Director Dorothy MasseY, all gave interesting speeches. It was also nice of Brother Thurman Campbell to humor us with his jokes and speech.

Honorable Mayor J. B. Sallas gave a short, interesting and enjoyable speech. ,All of us have wonderful memories of the beautiful get-together and opening of a very nice recreation place. The music just couldn't be better and to our surprise, Otis Beck and the Melody Five, furnished their fine music free for the afternoon's entertainment.

Many thanks to these nice young people for coming to Lovelady to donate their services for such a nice evening.

The dance at night by the Edmond Hiekle Orchestra was also well attended which was enjoyed by many members and guests. It was evidence of everyone enjoying themselves with the delicious barbecued beef, sausage, kolache, potato salad, cole slaw, pickles, chips, tea, and coffee.

I wish more of you could have seen the en j oyment of the little ones, grandmas, grandpas, plus teenagers and parents who were all having fun together. It must have been satisfying to our lodge president and his wife, Brother and Sister Hafner, to have accomplished the plans of our building, the Lovelady Lodge recreation home, in time for the opening. We look forward to September 2nd to have all of you back for the dedication and am sure the attendance will be even greater since so many could not make the opening occasion on July 4th.

VPSTIOIC We had one charter member among the attendance; she was Mrs. Annie Green from Houston. Another charter member, Annie Omelina, had to attend a church convention, but is planning to attend the September 2nd dedication.

Our special thanks go out to all who donated food, various types of pastry, and canned goods, etc. I will try to get all of your names down in al record book. I will bring it to the meeting so that all of you can sign your name in it. Infact, I would like to see the names printed by a typewriter, of all the donations; also the ones who paid dues or had some part in working for our lodge home. Our daughter gave me the record book and started it for me; I do appreciate that help, and thanks so much for your thoughtfulness.

God bless all of you.

Fraternally, Slivena Michka ---SPJS1--ATTENTION, MEMBERS OF LODGE NO. 81, NEEDVIELE Dear Members: All members of Needville, SPJST Lodge No. 81, are urged to attend this month's meeting which will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, August 12, 1973, at the Needville lodge hall. This will be a very important meeting; it will be for the members to make plans to build a new lodge home, or to remodel the present building. So please be present, and help us make plans.

Thank you.

Charlie Matcek, President Mary Werner,, Secretary LODGE NO. 154, FORT WORTH Dear Members: Our meeting was called to order by Vice President Brother Wilbur Mason.

President Brother Jerry Milan and family are still in Chicago. The rest of the officers were present, and the minutes and reports were approved as read, after everyone present had recited the pledge of allegiance.

All members stood in a moment, of silent prayer for our deceased lodge sister, Jennie Irene Plemon, of Anaheim, California.

Sister Rose Steinman won the door "Happy Birthday" was sung to Brother Bill Renfro, and that evening lie got a great nephew for a present; so congratulations to Brother and Sister Jim and Wanda Mason on. the arrival of their first son, Michael James.

The proud grandparents are Brother

and Sister Wilbur and Jeanie Mason, and Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Thasler of Waco; and I'll bet great-grandmother Sister Anna Milan already has him signed up as a member.

B O. FMLL IT. IIC.RELICA A TRIBUTE TO BROTHER E. HORIiLICA OF LODGE 88

Dear Members, Once again the members of our lodge were deeply shocked when they heard the sad news that one of our most faithful members, Brother Emil H. Horelica, passed away suddenly.

We say, as I have heard so many say, "I can't believe it; it just doesn't seem possible," and when we do realize that it is true, a feeling of such sadness overcomes us.

Oscar and I have known Brother Emil for many years, and this we can say sincerely: he was a true and loyal friend. We shall always remember his witty humor, his wonderful understanding of human nature, and his brotherly love for all. He really lived the principles of our Society: Benevolence, Humanity, and Brotherhood. He was always willing to help; I remember when I was president and needed help, Brother Emil was one of the members who I could call and never get a. "no"; it didn't matter how busy he was.

I think that his many achievements for our SPJST and our lodge are well known to all. He was an active member in our Dramatic Club Hlahol and our Choral Club, enjoying both very much. He was the Number One salesman of insurance in the state several years. As a sales representative in our lodge group, he usually was the chairman of our projects on special days;

Wednesday;Jul y 18, 1973 he was to have charg • of our sales representatives' booth k ,ainday. As second. vice president .1'w: two years, he carried out the duties of that office diligently with his many letters in the Vestnik. and his advertising of our activities.

As first vice president this year, he was fulfilling his duties e,wably and was now making plans for our Czech Day in October. He and his wife Rose, also a, faithful member of our lodge, received a plaque of honor on the Czech Day ceremony in 1911.; I had the honor of presenting it to Inem. When President Ernest Hanka 8 not able to be here for our last meeting, Brother Emil made a very cap:thle chairman. I can still see him beaming over the many compliments he received on the way he conducted the meeting.

As one of our delegates at our last stale convention, Brother Emil spoke many times — not becauselie . especially wanted to but because several members begged him to speak their' views for then" in his good down-to-earth manner of speaking which they preferred.

NeedleSs to say, Brother Emil will be sorely missed by us all. I am sure all the members join Oscar and me in extending deepest sympathy to his dear wife Rose, to his daughter, Mary Ann, who is active in our youth club, to his daughter Shirley Krolczyak, to his son, Leslie and to all his other relatives.

Sincerely yours Tillie Ilehneamp ---6PJ8T--SPJST SOFTBALL, TEAM, LODGE No. 84, DALLAS

VISTN/E LODGE NO. 66, WACO Dear Members: Hi! Everybody. A, belated congratulations to all District III YAD winners.

We had a nice turnout at YAD, and everyone had a nice time. Now let's all support our youth at the State YAD, which will be held at Taylor High School at Taylor, Texas, on Sept. 9th.

I would like to see all of our youth present at our meeting Sunday, July 22, at 2 p.m. Don't forget your project.

Bring a used white shirt or bed sheets.

If! you don't have either, ask some member of our lodge or friends. I'm, sure they will be glad to help you. This is a very good project for the Red Cross.

Don't forget about camp, which is just around the corner. How about your name tags? You had better have them.

I'd like to thank Lodge No. 35, Elk, for letting me be present at their craft class. I enjoyed it very much. The home-made ice cream was delicious.

How about the two little boys, Frank and Alvin, boy did they enjoy it.

To all youth and adults, don't forget our meeting.

Fraternally, Libbie Parma, Youth Leader NO. 88, HOUSTON LODGE'. NO. Dear Members and Readers: I hope everyone is working real hard on your talent and crafts for YAD on July 22. Our DYC, Mrs. Marlene Caraway, will have the complete time schedule in the Vestnik. Please keep it handy so you will not have to call me or the lodge to find out what time to have your craft registered.

We had fouty youth club members to sing and dance on the program at KC Hall for St. Cyril and Methodius Feast Day celebration. All of you did a good job, thanks to Mrs. Helen Hegwood, Mrs. Wanda Kennedy and Miss Naomi Kostom.

At the monthly meeting when I thanked the aunts and grandmothers for donating regularly to our cake sale, I was afraid I would leave someone off the list, and I did. It was Mrs. Frances Crossman, the grandmother of Lynn and Mark Wahlberg. She not only donates to our cake sale but she does so many other nice things for the youth of our lodge. Another nice person that was left off the thank-you list for donations of homemade ko-

lache to the quilt review was Mrs. Rose Horelica. She is also a regular donor to the youth club cake sale. I was on the quilt review food committee, but somehow we did not get her name on the list.

Dates to remember are July 22 — District YAD;' July 26 -- Cake Sale; July 28 — Teen Car Wash and Bake Sale, 9 a.m. till 1 p.m.; August 2 Meeting, 8 p.m.

Parents, and youth, if you like the Thursday night meetings, let me know.

August 16th and 17th we will have our annual garage sale. I have a place to store your donation. You may bring them to the Youth Room at anytime, please attach your name.

Fraternally, Louise Knapick Youth Leader LODGE NO. 135, ENNIS Dear Vestnik Readers: In last week's issue of the Vestnik I wrote that in this week's issue we would announce the names of our officers for the coming year.

Our new president for the coming year is Amy Laznovsky, vice president is Judy Patak, treasurer is Mark Patak, and secretary is Vera• Wensowich. Other members holding offices but not in the picture are sergeant-atarms Della Zahanel, reporter Kenneth IIonza, and historian Larry Valek.
