JULY 25, 1973

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Sunday, July 29 — District VII YAD at Lodge No. 117, Robstown • • Sunday, July 16 — It was gratifying to be in attendance at the District VI YAD which took place at Lodge 30 in the Talton Community Center. Many contestants, both male and female, registered in many various categories, thus creating much interest in their new friends who were also in attendance. With the seven active youth clubs, there was a tremendous amount of arts and crafts neatly exhibited for judging in the designated section. All talent and royalty contestants captured the hearts of the entire audience.

It is amazing how these youngsters develop so much courage and share their hidden talent from year to year.

A handsome youngster with a beautiful voice ( a future Eddie Arnold) in the 10-12 age entry sang a beautiful song that could also entertain many famous western recording stars; the trio) in the 13-17 talent group played and sang an appropriate Czech song with a fine rhythm, which was appreciated by the many American-Czech speaking members and guests who feel that these youngsters (trio) will continue having the initiative and,endeavor to continue their Czech singing and go forward with their talents. The Talton young folks almost walked

a-

CURSED Cursed be the social mants-that sin against the strength of youth!

Cursed be the social lies that warp us from the living truth!

Cursed be the sickly forms that err from honest Nature's rule!

Cursed be the gold that gilds the straiten'd forehead of the fool!

—Tennyson way with all the honors at the YAD; their accomplishments are almost too numerous to mention, however, DYD Elsie Brdecka has a complete coverage of the YAD results in this issue, and we want to refrain from repetition.

With the nice and fun-filled Youth Achievement Day in District VI, we feel certain that the afternoon was enjoyed by all. This, of course, is credited to DYC Elsie Brdecka, DYC Assistant Pauline Kalina, and the many youth leaders who were functioning in their designated places which requires good teamwork and makes for a successful YAD. Miss Patsy Kalina, (580, former state queen, did a magnificent job emceeing the larger portion of the youth program District VI Director Paul Sablatuta and SYP Dorothy Massey distributed numerous merit awards to many jubilant youngsters.

Our compliments and congratulations to all, the winners who will be participating on the state level. .• • Wednesday,; July 18, your editor attended the third quarterly meeting of the Supreme Lodge.

This week we will finish an editorial we had begun some time ago and will write about the SL meeting later.

Your editor has to agree with the contents of Brother George Kacir's letter the "Letters" section on page 5 of the May 9, 1978 issue of the Vestn iV, (center column). If a secret ballot type4 of voting is to be respected, then his suggestion is certainly to be desired. His letter follows: April 30, 1973 Dear Fellow-members: The referendum submitted recently received my affirmative vote, but it reminded me of suggestions I had made heretofore to another organization.

A number of people mentioned that referendum voting should be by secret ballot. Such constructive criticism can be met very easily. The ballot submitted to the delegates can have a stub such as we have in state or county elections. The stub can be signed with addition thereon of the local lodge inuiaber. The ballot can be sealed in a ballot envelope, and the ballot envelope and the stub placed in

Wealtlesclay, Stay 25, 1973 another envelope which is then mailed to the home, office. The home office can open the out-side envelope, verify the signature and lodge number on the stub, place the stub in a separate stub box, and the unopened envelope containing the ballot, can be placed in another box where it would remain until the next Supreme Lodge meeting.

Such procedure would, in a simple imanner, satisfy those having preference for a secret ballot.

With fraternal egards, George Kacir, West, Texas Here is the issue: If you receive a referendum ballot as a delegate and you have to mark "Yes" (for) or "No" (against) on that ballot that is well and good! However, if you have to, give your lodge number and sign your name on the same ballot, it is no longer secret! There may be a number of delegates who would like to vote in a certain way, however, they may hesitate, because their name is on the original ballot. Let us be fraternal and democratic in whateiver we do.

In the same May 9th issue, page 13, column 2 and 3, we haye, from the excerpts of the SL minutes: "Director Hanka brought up suggestions made to him about doing something about a hospitalization plan for the Supreme Lodge employees and officers. He read a letter from Lodge 88 in favor of having a referendum to provide hospitalization insurance on the officers and employees of the Supreme Lodge. He also reported that there was a favorable reaction to the idea at the recent District V meeting in Rosenberg. ."A motion was made that the refer.enduni include a plan for hospitalization for SI4 employees, officers, and the editor and that all of the employees', officers', and editor's portion be paid. The motion was seconded.

Another motion was made that the item be deferred to the July meeting at which time we will have more information on the hospitalization. This motion was seconded and carried."

After considering this issue our feeling is that this should be rather clearly explained in the Vestnik, pertaining to the type of hospitalization insurance that is being considered and the cost of same, so that our members, and especially the delegates, would be fully informed.

SOKOL CORPUS CHRISTI

Dear Members, The - Southern District ..!1,,S(,) contest held 8th-to 10th of June in Houston, Texas and the Sokol Slat of ASO held.

10 to 24 June in Berwyn, Ill. are behind us and it would seem, from information I have received, were very productive.

Bro. Frank and Sis, Caroline Veselka went to Houston and also to Berwyn. They took along 17 year old Randolph J. Sijansky who sent us greetings from Berwyn, He certainly gained much from, the trip. It is very encouraging that so many people take interest in the physical fitness our Sokol activities provide. More success to all of them is our wish, Fraternally, John Stasa LODGE NO 88, HOUSTOI Lod ge 88 has lost a -!;neat leader the passing of our beloved Vice "iesti id.ent Emil Horelica. We will carry on with our duties and continue to grow in the manner of winch he would have been proud, but in our hearts we will always cherish the memory of that truly good man, Brother Emil.

• ;Supreme Lodge President Nick Morrie was present at the funeral of Bro. Horeiica and delivered 'a most moving and comforting funeral oration. President Morris has such a remarkable ability to look into our hearts as he speaks, and he so befittingly put into words what we all feel about Brother Horelica's life and contributions that I want to share part of our Supreme Lodge president's eulogy with you: "Brother Horelica lived a good and useful life. Those who knew him and came into contact with him frequently knew and know that he was an ernest individual, an honest man, always striving to do good. He was a sincere man. He was a good man. He was an unpretentious man. He never pretended to be ,somebody or something was not. He was a man of simple tastes. He exemplified the beauty of true fraternity and fulfilled the ob lig -ationsdprmiestha okt the time he was admitted into the SPJST. He lived and served according to the precepts and instructions that our fraternity and Society is based upon, that is, Benevolence, Humanity, and Brotherhood.

"Emil Horelica joined the SPJST Fraternal Soc. in 1927, at the young age of 23. He joined Lodge No. 88 here in

Wednesday, July 2b, 1913 Houston. He had been a an-nxibe 'I J"1' for a total of 46.years.

Ins entire family have been loyal members and supporters of our Society for many years. He nos an active participant in the affairs of his local lodge here in Ho-uston on is Street. He held ninny positions on con mittees and special positions in his lodge, amore recently and currently having served as first vice president of that lodge. I 'know that the officers and membership of Lodge 88 will miss tun very much, Also, more recently, lie was active and responsible, wit,n other individuals, in Inaugurating and initiating Courses ill the It language at the 'University of Houston, l had to correspond with hint and IiiCet Mtn, on severai occasions, and with university officials, I know tins project was very near and dear to heart, I also know the joy that was his when. the univera:ty iotn,;eti that 1.1:ese cours(n would be inatentrated this fall.

"On behalf of the Set , -' Lodge of the SPJST, I wish to Couv . y our deepest sympathies and ceno1Itences the surviving and bereaved family, Mrs. Horelica, Mrs. Krolczyk, Mary Ann, and son Leslie, and, of course, my deepest personal sympathies."

President Ernest Hanka, also gave a most moving oration. It is truly hard to speak at a time like this when you have worked closely with someone who is now gone, and President Hanka let his heart come througll as he spoke of Brother Horelica. it know Brother Elmil's. family was CORO: or V"re all of us when we heard tine cle• Hon with which Brother Hanka •!poke.

On behalf of all the officers and members of Lodge 88, I wish to express our heartfelt consolation to Sister Rose and family.

As second_ vice president, pees ly knew Brother Horelica to be a very considerate gentleman; he made a point of calling me when he learned that he was to preside over the July meeting in the absence of President Hanka to let me know about my duties ahead of time. I always appreciated the respect he accorded me as a new officer -- after his many years of de-7 dicated service to our lodge. he did not act in a patronizing manner, but b:ave me compliMents and support.

II, CAMP To all leaders and campers attending District II Camp Dear Members and Readers: You are to arrive at Canip Val Verde between 9:30 and 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 2nd. Then we will plan to leave camp at about 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 5th, so you can figure about what time you will get home.

A church service is being planned for 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning.

Items to bring to camp 1. Sheets 2. Pillow (if you use one) 3. Light cover 4. Swim suit 5. Towels and wash cloth 6. Toilet articles (soap and grooming needs) 7. Elashlight (optional) 8. Long pants, socks and shoes (a must if you plan to ride horses) 9. Hat or cap (for hiking and archery) 10. Change of clothes for each day 11. Comfortable shoes (2 pair is desired) because you will walk and

play quite a bit.

12 Suntan lotion or bug repellant (optional) 13. Tennis racquet (if you wish to play tennis) balls furnished by the district.

14. Stereo records (optional) or some favorite dance records 15. Some money for extra soda pop (there will be morning refreshments served by camp) Our schedule includes swimming, horseback riding, archery (for the 2 older groups) crafts, some hiking for the smaller groups, outdoor games of many varieties.

There are parties being planned for each night such as a penny carnival night, you will need pennies for this one. A horse show is again be i ng planned which will be a Western Party, and the last night party to be announced at camp, which will probably be a Game Party. We also, plan on some singing and dancing, so you can see we will try to keep you busy.

Leaders please don't forget to make name tags for the youth of your club.

I will make name tags fcr leaders and chaperones, We will have flag ceremonies twice daily and there should be a patriotic song or a poem in addition to the pledge. Each club will have 1 or 2 of these ceremonies, so plan what you will do.

The shortest way to get to Camp Val Verde is to take Hwy 36 West out of Temple, go about 6 miles, take Hwy 317 to the right toward Moody and go straight through Moody and on to Mc Gregor, go to the 2nd red light in McGregor and turn right, this will be Hwy 84 heading east toward Waco, go about 8 miles, to the Val. Verde exit to the left, follow that road and when you come to a "T" turn right and then take the 2nd road to the left and that takes you into camp. Stop at flag pole for further instructions.

The leaders and assistants are having a meeting tonight at Lodge 80 in Holland. at 7:30 p.m. to make final plans for a good camp. Chaperones are also invited to this meeting. The district officers are also having their meeting at Holland tonight to finalize plans for the district fall meeting, which will be August 19th at American Legion Hall in Taylor.

We certainly hope all of you who sent in your applications will be able

CAMP July 29, 1973 — August 1, 191 3 Val Verde Camp Dear Youth and Leaders; Camp has a way of slipping up on us even before we realize applications are due and yet it marks the end of cur district youth activities.

Camp will be attended by a much smaller group this year and it, will be a novel experience to have only four divisions.

Parent attendance is something else.

It is regretable that, at present, I do not have enough chaperones and if additional adults do not apply between the writing and reading of this letter some youth may have to be rejected.

Plans are for a more relaxed camp this year since we can divide into four groups. COming into camp in time to settle down and have supper with a party and ceremonial to follow before retiring for a good night's rest everyone should be ready to follow an easy schedule of swimming, riding, game and crafts and just good visiting with old camp friends. Wednesday after supper and about six we can return home.

Things to take to camp: walking shorts and shirts, long pants and long sleeve shirts and socks for riding, hat and two pair shoes, swim wear and towels, underclothing, bed sheet and cover, pillow if used, wash cloths and towels, toiletry items, sun cream, bug repellant, postcard, flashlight (marked), small change for trading post, etc., costume junk, RAINWEAR !, quiet games, records and camera if desired.

LODGE NO. 30, TAITON Dear Members and Friends: It's time to write a line or two again.

The District VI YAD has come and gone for another year. I must say it was a successful day and in my opinion, it was one of the nicest YAD's we're ever had. There was a large variety of craft. I know it was a problem for the judges in the talent and craft competition, although everything seemed to be carried out precisely. From District VI, there will be many youngsters participating at the state competition. I am indeed proud of our club to capture so many first place entries; also, we all are proud of having a queen from our club, Queen Monica Merta and her Duchess Karen Kahanek who are going to state.

My thanks to everyone who came to help with the lodge preparations and the cleanup 'afterwards on YAD, this includes the Lodge 30 members and Taiton community m e. tu b e r Thanks is also in order to those who donated to the kitchen and the cake walk. last, but not least, my sincere thanks to my youth leader assistants . Mrs. Jerome Dorotik, Mrs. C.J. Hajovsky, Mrs. Alvin Kahanek, and Mrs. Albert Kresta, Jr. who had seen to everythin g being in order.

I enjoyed seeing Brother and Sister Rudy Sefcik and sons, also enjoyed talking to Maxine Sefcik, Elsie Brdecka and Dorothy Massey.

Are we having some hot weather!

LODGE NO. 74, LOVELADY Dear Fellow Members, I am happy to report that we really have a great youth club going now.

We had one in the afternoon and one that evening. We also enjoyed a cake walk and games. Due to this opening, we didn't get around to electing officers.

On July 12th we elected officers.

They were elected as follows: President: Jinrbo Rainer Vice-President: Mark Tabor Secretary: Diane Johnston Treasurer: Carol Forbes Asst. Treasurer: Susan Hafner Sergeant-at-arms: Mark Hafner and Kevin Lorenson Reporter: GeNell Landrum At this meeting we had 22 members.

Many of our faithful attending members could not be there for various reasons. We all hope they will be back soon. Following the meeting we all enjoyed skating and refreshn-rents. Our thanks go to Mrs. Heiner, Mrs. Neel, and Mrs. Mathis for vvhat each is doing to make this youth club a success.

Until next time, may all live in peace.

Fraternally yours, GeNell Landrum

V/edriescia, , July 25, 1973

THE AMERICAN CREED 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.
