Sunday, October 21. Lodge No. 88, Houston will have their annual Czech Day and an invitation is extended to all to attend this colorful event.

Your editor has been invited to be the guest speaker for thei occasion and, therefore, cannot attend the Texas Fraternal Congress in Sherman, nor the District VI meeting on the same date. We wish the best results in all respects at all occasions. * * Sunday, October 7, we attended the District V meeting at Lodge No. 172, Pasadena. Tillie Helmcamp, District V secretary, has the minutes in this issue and so has District III Secretary Mary Pavey of their district meeting held at Lodge 92, Fort Worth, on September 16. We attended both meetings and enjoyed being among our fraternal friends of both districts. * * District VI will have their district meeting in East Bernard at the Riverside Hall this Sunday, October 21.

Regrettably, we will not be able to be present as we have stated.

This year Veterans Day is designated for October 22nd, for Americans who will observe this solemn occasion with a salute to the silent heroes who defended freedom and now lie with fallen comrades in almost every land throughout the universe. It is a day for the living. A day to salute those who served in the endless ranks of patriots, in peace or war, for duty, honor and country. Also it is a day to remember the rattle of drums, the flag unfurled, the cold, clear notes of bugles calling men to serve.

Veterans Day is a day for all Americans — every man and woman whose hearts beat with pride and love — as well as the countless men and women who have worn the uniform of their country. A veteran stands for peace, for courage, for faith in America. Re stands for peace because he fought for it; he stands for courage because he stood tall in the face of danger; he stands for faith because he returned in confidence to work, to grow a family, to participate in the affairs of this republic as a full American citizen.

Every veteran, so to speak, is a man

Wednesday, October 17, 1973 for his nation, al soldier, a sailor, a marine or an airman who, in his particular moment of truth, said "this is my land, my people, my United States and, if need be, I will die to defend the same."

A veteran is a patriot, born in a land of freedom, seeking to right the wrongs he finds, working to better his life and that of his fellow man. He is an American, and he speaks the word with reverence and respect, knowing full well that he walks not in the lockstep of tyranny but with the vigorous stride of a free man who has measured the opportunity that is his and is using it.

Those of you who have the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C., do not fail to pay respect to our unknown soldiers and other countless Americans who are resting in eternal peace at the Arlington National.

Cemetery, where each year leaders of our nation assemble in ceremonial respect, where is engraved in weathered stone, these memorable words: "Not for fame or reward Not for place or !for rank Not lured by ambition Or goaded by necessity But in simple obedience to duty As they understood it These men suffered all Sacrificed all Dared all And died."

Those words are a tribute to the living, as well, who dared all then, as they do today, in the eternal search for peace with honor. Americans may one day, in the long roll call of generations unborn, awaken to a world in total peace. Until it does, we must maintain our strength, defend our rights, and fight, if need be, for our freedom. Freedom extracts a price. Our veterans of today and yesterday have paid that price. Those who paid the( full price desired and deserved to live as much as any American; those who were disabled desired peace and health instead of injury and illness. Those who watched their loved ones march off to war prayed for their safe return and the security of the country they love.

Veterans Day is a time to recall the meaning of service for all Americans. Let us then use this day of honoring our veterans to remind ourselves that unity at home is essential to peace across the seas. Let us remind ourselves that by comparison the turmoil and strife at home is a disservice to those who have faced the enemy in battle. Let us

VESTN/K strive to match their courage with (patience and humbleness. Let us pledge on Veterans Day to respect by our actions and deeds the sacrifice of those who defend us today. Let us ,make this a united America with the sam.F.3 spirit and courage, the same intelligence and confidence that has characterized our fighting men throughout history. We owe them much. We honor them in full, today and in the future. We do so because their valor saved America. It can save it again, as it must, and only when it is secure for all of us will we know that our veterans will not have died in vain. * We feel that these thoughts are particularly apropos for members of the SPJST, because of the fraternal nature of our organization. It is of particular concern and responsibility that we give evidence of fraternity in our way of life, not merely for the sake of our organization, but because it is a part of our ultimate goal of living, loving our country, and loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Self-respect and consideration for others, therefore, are important in our social relationships. Their attainment and our success in practicing them can be very compensating. This compensation perhaps is best expressed in the words of Grace Noll Crowell, which have been favorite lines of the editor: "These are the things that I shall not forget, When the day's work is done; The little kindnesses I may have shown To any one; The burdens that I may have helped to bear Throughout the day, For comrades walking with me down the way.

Not one regret that I have done too much, When there was much to do, But this I know, when the long hours pass In swift review, I shall look back and wish that I had done Oh, so much more, When I turn in at evening to my door."

DISTRICT V MEETING Dear Members, The District V meeting was hosted

by Lodge No. 172 at Pasadena on October 7, 1973. This is not the minutes but tells you all about the meeting.

President Victor Peter convened the meeting and Flag Bearers Eugene Sef cik, Robert Knapick and Richard Malek presented the colors and let the membership in the pledge of allegiance. In the absence of 1st Vice President of Lodge No. 172, 2nd Vice President Vlasta Machann graciously welcomed the members and guests. The response was given by District lst Vice President Eric Stein, who thanked Lodge No. 172 for their hospitality and the good dinner. A fitting tribute to the departed members was given by Editor Rudy Sefcik, who brought out the fact that we owe much to these past members.

Secretary Tillie Helmcarnp read the roll call of the lodges, and only 8 lodges were represented: No. 65 — Crosby, No. 88 — Houston; No. 139 — Danbury; No. 142 — Houston; No. 172 -- Pasadena; No. 173 •-- Galveston; No. 175 — Rosenberg and No. 176 -- Houston Northwest.

Second Vice President Harry Schuh mann presented the following guests: State Representative Tim Clark. SL President Nick A. Morris and Sister Dorothy, Secretary-Treasurer Leonard Mikeska, Editor Rudy Sefcik and Sister Maxine, Rest Home Director J. M. Skrabanek, SYD Dorothy Massey, District Director Ernest Hanka and Sister Pearl, Sales Representative Evelyn Mikeska and Brother Otto, Judge Masters*, Pasadena Councilman Vern Cox, State Representative E. Watson and the Mayor of Pasadena.

The secretary read the minutes. and these were approved as read. Treasurer Tommy Lostak reported $1100.58 in the district fund and $1532.18 in the youth fund.

Brother Ernest Hanka stated he was very disappointed in the attendance; too few lodges were represented. He complimented the district officers, Sister Evelyn Mikeska and the sales representatives, DYC Marlene Caraway 'and her assistant Tom Caraway, and SYD Dorothy Massey. He stated that 7 1b percent is the rate of interest on the loans, but right now there is a moratorium on loans. Brother Hanka attended the National Fraternal Congress at New Orleans; there they stressed the importance of be-

6 ing careful in whom you sign up for membership in your lodge. He brought up the new by-law set up by the last convention allotting $150 to each lodge for the purpose of paying expenses of the district officers, and he made the motion that the district officers be paid $7.50 out of this fund when they attend a district officers' meeting and that the youth counselor and district sales representative be paid the same amount out of the district fund. This was seconded by Sister Frances Olexa and so approved by the membership. He stated that he received the book from past youth counselor but has not received the $160 due. He thanked the Supreme Lodge and the district for their cooperation.

District Sales Representative Evelyn Mikeska stated that the district has gone over its quota and has sold $3,500,000 so far; there are now 60 sales representatives in the district.

She had 2 seminars and 5 special seminars since last meeting. Evelyn announced that in the sales contest Della Kadlecek, Helen Ilegwood, Emil Horelica, and Louis Hanus won trips to Texas Fraternal Congress and Albert Bristik won a watch; Sister Rose Horelica will go in place of Brother Emil. Evelyn stated that in losing Brother Horelica the lodge, the district and the entire SPJST lost a great sales representative and fraternalist who was especially interested in helping small lodges. She attended the National Fraternal Congress and the FIC convention at Atlanta, Ga.; she thanked the Supreme Lodge for letting her go to the FIC convention.

Rest Home Director J. M. Skrabanek, giving a brief but good report as always, stated that Rest Home No. 2 changed administrators and both homes are running smoothly; the nice profit each month from both homes is helping to pay for them. He stated that visitors are surprised at the high type homes we have and at the way they are kept and run. Brother Joe is very proud of both homes and is especially happy that we have satisfied people in both homes.

DYC Marlene Caraway reported that she and Asst. Tom Caraway attended 14 club meeting, 4 district officers' meetings, district camp, 15 various lodge functions in the district and YAD and State Royalty Day besides

VESTNiK the youth counselors' seminars, the Longhorn Recreation Lab and other functions over the state. The camp was a great success and so was the district beach party. She gave an account of all money spent. Marlene presented SYD Dorothy Massey in a highly complimented way. Dorothy stated that she is very happy about the way our youth has become active and about the successful camp and partieis. A state youth counselors' seminar was held and the leaders profited from good training and fellowship, SYD Massey stated that both the YAD and State Royalty Day were very successful and she apologized for the little delay in getting started at Taylor due to the many final details to be carried out. She stated that at State Royalty Day at. Houston they were ready on time but had to wait 5 minutes to let the orchestra in. She stated that we owe a great deal to the youth counselors and lead err and commended Marlene and Tom Caraway on a great job in getting more youth to participate and in having more activities for them.

Ernest Hanka auctioned the following for the youth's charity project: 1. Figurine, donated by Ben Berry of Pasadena and bought by Richard Wahlberg of Lodge 88 for $28.00; 2. Poncho, made and donated by Louise Willis of Pasadena and bought

by S.J. (Slick) Ordner of Pasadena for $51.00. About 66 children presented a musical program, which was enjoyed by all.

Supreme Lodge President Nick A. Morris received a standing ovation when he got up to speak. Since he followed the youth program, he gave us some beautiful thoughts on youth, stressing the youth's need for our understanding and our duty to help them grow and prepare for life, He extended greetings from the Supreme Lodge officers not present. He stated that Lodge No. 172 improved each time it moved. Brother Morris stated that much is owed the district counselors and youth leaders for the great success at YAD at Taylor and State Royalty Day. He thanked Lodge 88 for hosting State Royalty and paid special tribute to Marlene and Tom Caraway who made 2 trips to Temple to meet with him and SYD Massey to plan the day. (I have to add that State Royalty was a beautiful occasion and high compliments should go to Brother Morris, SYD Massey,

Wednesday, October 17, 103 Marlene and Tom and our youth leaders). Brother Morris complimented Evelyn Mikeska and our sales representatives on the wonderful job they are doing. He stated that SPJST will be represented at the TexaS Fraternal Congress by the youth performing in 4 acts.

Secretary-Treasurer Leonard keska agreed with the speakers that this will be the greatest year in SPJST. He stated that one and one tenth million in loans will be closed out and that there are many 'problems in making loans there being much to anticipate.

Editor Rudy Sefcik stated that our lodge system is a safegpard against problems with the government. The change-over in the Vestnik is taking time; he has received mostly compliments on it but a few complaints on the type. In reply to Bro. Peter's question on not getting a Vestnik, Brother Rudy stated that you should write to the Supreme Lodge.

Tom Caraway, chairman of the Seminar Committee of which Harry Schuhmann and Eric Stein were also members, stated that the purpose of the seminars would be to teach lodge members parliamentary procedure and duties of the officers. He made the motion that we hold a seminar at the first part of the year, seconded by Alvin Sefcik and se, approved.

Brother Morris reported that he and the officers of the Supreme Lodge have been considering this for over a year and would bring it up at their meeting this week with the plan of inaugurating them the first of the year, but that the district could proce ed with it. and the committee members decided to do so.

The report of the Rule: and Re g -ulationsCmhte.copsdf Chairman Torn Caraway, Evelyn Mikeska, .Tillie Helnicarn.p and Ernest Hanka as advisor, was given by Torn.

He made the motion that the rules and regulations be accepted, seconded by Sister Helen Valcik. An amrnendment that they become effective immediately on adoption was made

by Sister Mary Cordray and seconded by Sister Pearl Hanka. The motion and ammenclment were approved, and it was decided to mail a copy of the rules and regulations to the Supreme Lodge and to each lodge in the district.

The next district meeting will be on the third Sunday in March. Lodge

No. 142 asked to host it, and Alvin Sefcik moved that No. 142 be hosts, seconded by J.M. Skrabanek, and so approved.

Harry Schuhmann asked for announcements. Ernest Hanka invited all to come to a great celebration, the annual Czech Day at Lodge 88; there will be a very good braised beef dinner from 11:30 on, a live KFRD radio broadcast from our stage from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. with our choral Clubs and Clarence Baca Orchestra performing, a brief but beautiful ceremony at 2:30 p.m. honoring dedicated members of our lodge, and a FREE dance with Clarence Baca playing and starting with the parade of the colorful Czech costumes.

Eric Stein invited all to Lodge No. 142 for their grand opening on November 18th; they will have a good barbecued beef dinner and a FREE dance.

The meeting was followed by a free dance with Linhart and his Sugarlanders playing, and all enjoyed the good music.

Don't forget Lodge No. 88 Czech Day this Sunday; this is the greatest celebration our lodge has, and I can promise you a most wonderful time! I still remember how much Bishop Morkovsky enjoyed the wonderful Czech songs our Choral Club sang last year; he has been invited again and I hope to see him and all of you enjoying the fine programs planned for this day; the programs and the dance are FREE! Don't miss this, or you will be sorry when you hear about it later!

A few heard comments from the elderly that it was a little harder for them to read.

Temple, Texas October 2, 1973

Dear Members: This is written as a matter of information. It should especially be of interest to lodge secretaries and sales representatives.

We can now pay claims to beneficiaries as early as age 18. Previously, if a death claim was payable to a minor, such funds had to be held here until the beneficiary attained age 21. The funds can now be paid at age 18.

This is due to a bill passed by our legislature lowering the age' of majority from 21 to 18.

Since the effective date of the bill this August, we have already paid out 23 such minor's claims totaling $40,053.28.

-SPJSTFROM THE LODGE YOUTH LEADERS

King Lin Lesak and Queen Cindy Horak lead the Grand March after the coronation. work, family, church, and other organizations. It is a vital and necessary part of our American way of life.

The SPJST also gives us a look backwards to our forefathers and their struggle to make America what it is today. We must often look back in order to step forward! Most of our ancestors camel to America speaking a foreign language and had to learn English. Through the SPJST paper, the Vestnik, we again can learn the Czech language they brought with them. If we are ever fortunate enough to welcome a new citizen — this will help us all.

At age 16, you are allowed to participate in the adult meetings. We are allowed to vote for our leaders and officers. We are given a voice to make new laws, changes, and rules to better the Society. This in itself is an important training for their future, the future of our Society and the future of America.

The SPJST has given me the opportunity to go to a summer camp, meet and make many new friends, learn to be a follower and a leader, be a businessman; adventurer and explorer.

I feel very fortunate to be able to say I am getting my leadership and training from being a member of the

LODGE NO. 130, DALLAS Dear Readers, Another first for me — the statewide Youth Leader's Training Seminar at the Robert Harrington Ranch.

It was a last-minute decision for me to attend that function and believe me, I was very happy I could go. You leaders who were not able to attend, I can only say — you missed a ball!

So much was offered us to help with our youth clubs, that at the end of the day, even the wooden bunks were comfortable.

I hope all the other leaders got as much out of the training as I did.

Many thanks to Edith White (hope that's right) for her nature hikes and game planning, and Dawn Duncan for her leadership training, dance instruction and for teaching us so many new songs — even though some of them were pretty silly ("We are crazy, we are crazy, we are nuts").

Most of all, though I enjoyed meeting so many leaders from other districts and lodges on a personal basis. I find myself really reading letters in the Vestnik now, just to see if I can recognize the names—(Oh yes, she is the one who . . . ). So I believe that I speak for everyone who attended, . . . thank you Dorothy, and thank you Nick, for a very fun-filled weekend. Please do it again soon.

Our October was set for Monday, the 15th, and we were to finalize our plans for the Christmas party.

LODGE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Members, Saturday, October 13 was a big day!

The youth club traveled •to Six Flags with forty-two youngsters. We left the bus station at 7 a. in. and for our return trip,, we left Six Flags at 8 p. m.

The youth club paid for the bus fare and half of the active youth club members' tickets, and the mother lodge voted to pay the other half of the ticket for each member. This is certainly great for a mother lodge to do for their youth club. This just proves again how much Lodge 47 supports their youth; the youth club appreciates this and in behalf of them, we say a big THANK YOU! Sunday, October 14 was another important date. Our regular meeting was held at 2 p. in. and a giblet supper followed the meeting. Then about 6 p. m., we had the privilege of Brother Calvin Chervenka and Brother David Mikeska showing slides and telling about their trip tc Czechoslovakia; also non-members were interested in seeing the slides, There were many interesting questions and answers folbwmg the slides; it sounded very good.

We really appreciate Brothers Calvin and David giving of their time to share this with us.

THE BIG DOLLAR FAMILY ASSET THAT MANY TEXANS FORGET What are your family's financial assets? Most people don't know about or forget what may be their biggest dollar asset. How would you answer?

Obviously, you'd mention your savings. Realistically, the family economists say, you are supposed to have savings of about half your annual salary. For the average family, that would be about $5,000.

Then you would mention life insurance. You may have an individual life insurance policy, you might also have group life coverage where you work.

You probably have auto and home insurance and hospital and medical coverage.

Do you own your own home or an equity in it? You'd put that high on the list, along with any investments in stocks or property.

What else do you have? What about that other very important financial asset, the workmen's compensation insurance coverage where you work.

Your boss pays for it, but it could mean thousands, hundreds of thousands or as much as a million dollars to you. It is one of your most important assets.

Do you know what workmen's compensation does for you? It provides financial protection for you and your family if you are injured or killed on the job. Texas' workmen's compensation laws were greatly revised and expanded by the 1973 state legislature.

How does workmen's compensation operate? First, it is hospital and medical insurance. There are no limits on the amount in Texas. No deductibles, no contributions from the injured employee; you get hospital and medical care for as long as you need it. For life, if necessary.

Second, if you are killed on the job, it provides a death benefit to your survivors. In Texas, death benefits to the spouse and surviving children of a workman killed on the job are good for life, or until the spouse remarries. Upon remarriage, the spouse receives a two-year lump sum payment.

Surviving children continue to receive payments until they reach age 18, or 25 if they were enrolled in accredited educational institutions.

Third, what do you do for a paycheck if you are injured and can't work? Workmen's compensation provides a wage benefit. The weekly benefit is usually a percentage of your weekly wage, subject to a limit. In 1972, workers throughout the country collected about two billion dollars just in workmen's compensation wage benefits.

Effective September 1 of this year, the maximum wage benefit in Texas became $63 and the minimum weekly wage benefit $15.

As of September 1, 1974, this will increase to $70 and $16.

Thereafter, the maximum and minimum weekly wage benefits will increase $7 and $1, for each $10 increase in the manufacturing production worker's average weekly wage over the 1974 average for the same workers Fourth, workmen's compensation is designed to help injured people get well and back on the job. Rehabilitation of injured employees is a primary goal of the state workmen's compensation administrators and the insurance companies providing the coverage.

Fifth, if you contract any occupational disease in Texas, you will receive workmen's compensation benefits.

So, when listing your assets, don't forget workmen's compensation coverage just because you don't pay the bill. It could be the biggest dollar asset you have.
