landed at Plymouth Rock and established the first Plymouth Colony settlement in 1020; and, at a later date; these Pilgrims celebrated a day of "Thanksgiving," not realizing that, every fourth Thursday in the month of November would be designated as a day set aside for thanksgiving by the nation they helped to create; a day intended to bring closer ties

Wednesday, November 21, 1973 with loved ones, good food and festivities, and a deeper sense of gratefulness for the blessings we enjoy.

This Thanksgiving Day let us all remember, as did our Pilgrim fathers before us, to give thanks for the prosperity we enjoyed in the past year. Those who share in the blessings of the good life, should be thankful for the abundance, although somewhat limited in respect to what we might de sire them to be, our many freedoms and our boundless opportunities.

This is a day to remember and a day in which we should pause and be grateful of the many blessings we enjoy in this nation of ours . . . this is the time for Thanksgiving.

True, many ills have befallen our nation in the past, and, especially, in the last year or so; some of them useless, foolish and unpatriotic have caused our nation and its people concern, and have brought about a crisis and a true test for the strength of our d•mocracy. Our nation MUST and WILL come out of this stronger than before, that we do not doubt.

One crisis we ALL face and ALL must face up to is: the present shortages, whatever the reasons are for their presence (and some had been predicted and foreseen), they are here and are facing us in our everyday life. We, as patriotic citizens of our country, have and possess the mental attitude and have the ability to sensibly overcome these obstacles in the true fraternal spirit of cooperation IF WE ONLY WILL! by each of us doing our share of sacrificing and "giving-a-little here and there, instead of selfishly being overlydemanding for ourselves and disregarding the needs and rights of others. There are two avenues of solution open for us: we can ALL restrict ourselves of our own free will OR we will be FORCED to do so. The decision is up to us as citizens of the United States.

WHICH AVENUE WELL WE TAKE? Today is Friday, November 16,1973,

and the thought enters one's mind: Our three astronauts Carr, Gibson and Pogiue, blasted off, as if by clockwork, to link up with our "Skylab" space station for a stay of nearly three months in the weightlessness 'if space. While in space, they will be able to closely observe Kohoutek's

V2t3TNilt

comet (named after Czceh-born astronomer Lubos Kohoutek) under much better situations than we here on the surface of Planet Earth can with the limited visibility due to our atmosphere, smog, clouds, and pollution, etc.

Indeed this is the phenomena of the century and it may help reveal some of the secrets of the creation of our universe! Phenomena? indeed! the comet is not expected to return for 75,000 yeam, if ever.

Good luck to our brave, talented and valued astronauts! While we bemoan our trials and troubles (trivial though they be), they will be away from their laved ones on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's doing a service for mankind and us!

Are our troubles really that burdensome?

JOHN KAHANEK, JR.

Lodge No. 88 lost one of its most devoted members when Brother John Kahanek, Jr., passed away Friday, November 9th, 1973 at the age of 60.

Brother Kahanek had been a member of our lodge for many, many years. During his span as a fraternalist for our lodge, he served on the Board of Trustees as secretary for many years, where he gave devotion and fine leadership to the many prospects undertaken by the board while serving in that capacity. He was one of the first benevolent members who surrendered his insurance certificate as a loan to help Lodge 88 build their present home location.

His fraternal pride anti image of duty toward our SPJST Order was simply to believe in its principles to make it successful.

Brother Kahanek was a mem-

4 Mutual Fire insurance Association (SVPS), and also served as an officer in the Houston Chapter.

Since February, 1973, Brother Kahanek, was retired from Texaco Company after serving 45 1/2 faithful years.

Vestnik Editor Brother Rudy Sefcik officiated at the Waltrip Funeral Chapel and graveside ervices under the auspices Of SP.TST. Brother Sefcik spoke on their childhood acquaintances and the actual principles of fraternal beliefs Brother Kahanek had respect for and loved his fellowman.

Just recently, at Lodge 88 on Czech Day, Brother Kahanek and his wife Marie, were awarded a plaque for many faithful years of service. To the survivors: his wife, Marie Rose Kahanek; daughter, Mrs. Janis Marie Burkett of Memphis, Tennessee; son, John Kahanek III of Houston; sisters, Mrs. Lillie Steller and Mrs. Julia Emmons, both of Schulenburg; brother, Loddy Kahanek of Houston, and four grandchildren, the brothers and sisters of Lodge Pokrok Houston No 88, wish to express heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family of our loyal lodge member, and may his memory live among us forever.

Fraternaliy, For the Sisters and Brothers of Lodge Na 88, Houston Louis Hanes SPJSTRECEPTION FOR REP. DAN K'UBIAK House Speaker Price Daniel, Jr., is expected to be in Rockdale on November 29th fore a three-county (Falls, Milam, and Williamson) reception honoring Rep Dan Kubiak, leaders of the reeeption steering committee said this week.

Several House members from surrounding districts are also exp ected at the festivities honoring the Rockdale legislator.

Joe Holloway of Marlin, a cochairman of the committee, said "we are finding terrific enthusiasm everywhere in Williamson, Falls and Mile= counties for showing this area's appreciation to Dan." The reception will be Thursday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. in the Rockdale VFW Hall. ber of the Dramatic Club Hlahol where he participated in numerous Czech plays for many years.

He was past vice president of the Grand Chapter of the Slavonic

VitSTNIK

Tickets for the gathering --which supporters say also will serve as a campaign kickoff and fund raiser — are $10 a couple.

"It's encouraging to know that folks in our area recognize that Dan carries a very heavy burden of expenses while representing our area and coping with statewide problems as chairman of the Education Committee to the extent he is kept away from his own business most of the time," Holloway said.

The 35-year-old Kubiak, now in his third term in the House, was appointed chairman of the Education Committee by Daniel after Daniel was elected Speaker when the 63rd Legislature convened. The 31-year-old Daniel is the son of Texas Supreme Court Justice Price Daniel, Sr. who also served Texas as House Speaker, Attorney General, Governor and U.S. Senator.

Kubiak is a product of the public schools in Reagan and Marlin and now has bachelors and masters degrees and has done work on his doctorate. He taught public schools and coached football before returning to Rockdale to enter diversified business and go into politics.

He and his wife Zana, have one son, Kelly Dan. (Brother Kubiak is a member and sales representative of Lodge 174).

LODGE NO. 56, CORPUS CHRISTI Dear Lodge Members, At the regular SPJST Lodge No. 56 October meeting a merger with Lodge No. 79 was discussed and it was agreed that at our annual December meeting this would be acted upon as set out in Articles 114 and 116 of our by-laws.

Article 114 states that if 20 members of our lodge present and voting are not in favor of the merger, there can be no merger.

Article 116 sets forth the methods and means of merging the lodges.

The membership of Lodge 56 must agree to the merger by a simple majority of the members present and voting. The lodge must announce the meeting at which the merger is to take place at least twice in the Vestnik and must notify each member over 16 years of age in writing that the merger will be voted upon at the meeting.

This letter is your official notification that a vote will be taken at our regular December 9, 1973 meeting at 2 p.m. at Sokol Hall in Corpus Christi and you are invited to attend and let your feelings be known on this important matter.

Your attention should also be called to the fact that Lodge 79 is also separately acting on this matter at the same time and must follow the same procedures and regulations. For there to be a merger both lodges must correctly carry out all procedures and vote favorably on all merger propositions. If one lodge does and the other does not, there can be no merger and then each, lodge will continue on with its normal activities.

If each lodge meeting separately votes favorably on the merger question then when the order of business calls for election of officers the two lodges will call a joint meeting with the following order of business.

1. Determination of the number

Wednesday, November 21, 1973 and name of the Merged lodge. The merged lodge could retain either one of the previous lodge numbers and either of the previous lodged' names, or select a completely new name and new number.

2. A new slate of officers should be elected because in effect there will be a new lodge and the Supreme Lodge will be notified of the results of that election.

Wednesday, November 21, 1973 LODGE NO. 74, LOVELADY Dear Members and Readers: Our dance and Halloween celebration was very colorful and enjoyed by all Who came; music was by the Serenaders and is hard to beat. There were some prizes awarded to the best-dressed in oldtime costumes.

First prize went to Mr. Turner in a wheelchair with his sister-in-law as his assistant, (Anna Omelina): second prize went to Mrs. Gloria Blackstone with party set table she was carrying and dressed in a long oldfashioned dress. Bath prizes were in money and the last prize was $5 for couples in a dance.

First, I •should mention how beautiful the lodge was decorated with flying bats suspended from the ceiling, cats, Skeletons which were scattered all around the walls and entrance and tables were nicely decorated with Jack-o-lanterns and black and orange streamers. Those of you who didn't get to attend, really missed a beautiful night. A few worked day and night to suit the atmosphere for the proper occasion. A JOB WELL DONE! Now •about the coming Harvest supper coming up so soon on the 21st of November at 6 p. m. being catered for all members and their families, with music by Jimmy Brosch and the Happy Country Boys with polkas, waltzes and countrywestern music; guests are invited and the meal is free. There will be

admission charge for the dance at

the door. This is a Pre-Thanksgiving Dance. We look forward to seeing all of you attend to have a grand time. Our wish, here in the country, is hoping the weather is on the dry side since our unkept roads keep us at home when it's raining or threatening rain.

I missed the last monthly meeting for same reason because Ray, my husband, was just afraid of getting stranded or stuck and it wouldn't be comfortable to spend a lot of time on the road; it has happened to us before. We were lucky that time my brother, Chester, got us out of the mud the next day. It wasn't so nice for our son, Fred, to walk in from the SPJST meeting. He didn't mind the long walk at night, but people's dogs couldn't understand him walking in this modern time and thought that he was a prowler, so he had to make extra distance to avoid bad dogs.

On behalf of all the Friendship Club members, we want to thank the sisters of the Ladies' Circle for making us all so welcome on our joint gathering. November 8th I heard nothing but praise from everyone about how they enjoyed the day and the delicious turkey dinner. "Happy Birthday" was sung to the members of both clubs. Our sisters were Anna Milan, Stella Baleja, Lillie McMillen, Alexie Parham, Teresa Miller and Mrs. Spurlock.

Our next meeting will be Wednes. day, December 5 at 10:30 a, m. This will be our Christmas party. The club will furnish the ham and the sisters are asked to bring a covered dish or pastry to go with ham. If you would like to exchange gifts, bring a $2 gift. Kindly make a mite of this event.

Ann and Tira visited her in Kunovice, fifteen years ago. Also Sister Frances Maroula of South Bend, Indiana, is visiting in the home of her mother, Sister Anna Milan, who also came to meet her aunt for the first time and also her namesake.

We extend our sincere sympathy to Sister Marie Kahanek and family of Lodge 88 on the loss of her husband and their father, Brother Johnnie Kahanek. They made their home in Ft. Worth some years ago and left many friends here. It is a personal loss to Benny and 1. We were good friends for over thirty years. He was pleasant at all times and I know he will be missed. May he rest in eternal peace.

The following memorial was made in memory of P. M. Clark — by Henry and Ann Banfi (Chicago) — $5. Your gift is greatly appreciated.

Be sure and mark down the above dates.

To one and all: Have a happy and meaningful Thanksgiving.

So until. . . keep smiling!

We say thank-you Sister Zatopek because lt was very nice of you to do this.

Brother Zatopek mentioned in his remarks that one lodge had 300 members that they are going to give up and not write any more insurance; that beats every-thing I ever heard of.

We also want to thank Sister Stepan for being present.

Sister Parma gave the Youth Club report. They did very well on their Harvest game. The club will continue collecting aluminum cans, so bring them to the club because money they receive for the cans will be used for charity projects. The club is also collecting glass, tin cans and newspapers, which will be turned in at the recycling center which is sponsored by the high schools in Waco. Every one please help them because they earn points for this and it's a good way to get rid of these items at home and at the same time, you will be doing a good deed. If our young people are taking time to work on these projects, we all should have time to save these items and help our young folks by proving to them that we are proud of them. It may not seem like a whole lot but a little saved here and there can build a mountain of reusable material which otherwise would be junk, so do your share in keeping our country clean.

Elleven of Lodge 172 and Lee Roy Weselka, of Lodge 65; keep up the good work.

Some of yo4 other sales representatives in the district, hope you get busy. You have a few weeks left in 1973 to do something for your lodge, district and SPJST. You will help someone and yourself, also. Everyone needs some kind of

14 insurance to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Those of you who only have a $1,000 policy had better look into the possibility of buying more protection while you are in good health. Also, you young people in high school and college need some kind of protection for yourself. We can program anything to fit your pocket book. You couples who are starting out in life can salve yourself a lot of money by buying your protection while you are young, and you will be building yourself an estate for old age. You can do a lot of things with your insurance at whatever age you desire. What makes it sad is when older people try to build life insurance and find that they are not insurable. You would be surprised at how many people still don't have any protection for their families and don't believe in buying. WHY? It is because they haven't met the right person to explain insurance plans and protection and how this can help them at the time of their needs.

Congratulations to Districts 4 and 7 for meeting their quotas.

Districts 1 and 3, come on, don't let us down; meet your quotas, too!

Congratulations to Sister Banning for completing and passing her basic course of FIC. Come on you sales representatives who have the basic course books on Fraternal Insurance Counselor. It will help you in your sales, in programming your insurance to serve your people better. This helps you understand the difference between commercial life insurance and fraternal life insurance. It tells you what fraternal societies really are and what they are doing for their members by providing fellowship among the members.

Keep up the good work and, if I can assist you, I will be delighted to do so. Thank you again for doing a wonderful job for the month of October and for the ten months. Let's all get ready for 1974; it is around the corner. Time passes fast; sometimes too fast.

hems of Interest ACCENT ON HEALTH Diabetes, one of the top 10 killers, is being attacked full scale in portions of the Rio Grande Valley.

A massive screening program, along with a public awareness cam paign, is being conducted in Star and Hidalgo Counties through local health departments, the medical society and backup support of the State Health Department.

Diabetes may strike anywhere, but in the Rio Grande Valley it is more prevalent among those in the high risk' group. Who composes this high risk segment of society? You are in it if — if you are more than

VESTN±K 45 years of age; if you are 45 or older and a close blood relative of a diabetic; if you are 45 or older and you are overweight (obese); and if you are 45 or older and the parent of a newborn baby weighing nine pounds or more.

Some private physicians and local health departments screen pa tients for diabetes routinely if they fall into the high risk category. In Starr and Hidalgo counties, with a strong assist from television stations, those who are most susceptible are being sought out.

Through use of four specially pro diced television films from the State Health Department, as well as spot announcements, the message is being carried to all viewers.

They are being asked to have screening blood tests made at a health department clinic, or from a private doctor if they are in the high risk group. The blood samples are then sent to the State Health Department Laboratories for evalution. Local health department personnel will follow up on persons whose tests were positive.

Studies done in Starr County and elsewhere in the Valley have indicated that diabetes mellitus is much more prevalent in South Texas than elsewhere in the nation.

Dr. Mario Ramirez of Roma said about 20 per cent of his patients at high risk have diabetes. Oftentimes, those with diabetes don't report to a physician until compile aliens from the disease force them to seek medical aid.

Some of the complications from diabetes are blindness, gangrene damage to kidneys, blood vessels and nerves, heart attack and stroke.

Early detection and treatment, so important in other diseases, is just as important if you have diabetes.

It is estimated that only about half its victims are aware they have the disease. In the other half it is hidden. Programs such as the special effort in to Valley may in sure a healthier future for those in whom the disease is found Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease which is a world-wide problem. It has been known for thousands of years. The oldest known document, an Egyptian papyrus of 1500 3.C., contains the earliest re-

ference to what was probably diabetes.

Although diabetes affects people of all ages, in this country it is 10 times more prevalent after age 46.

Despite research through the cen tulles, no cure is yet known. However, the introduction of insulin therapy during the 1920's, followed by oral drugs in the 1950's, greatly improved the prognosis for diabetes. Today the life expectancy of a diabetic is much greater than it was 50 years ago when insulin was first administered to a 14-year-old boy in Toronto The boy recovered from a deep coma. Since that day, insulin has saved the lives of millions of people.

Simply put, diabetes is to much sugar in the blood. Blood sugar — glucose — isn't broken down into body fuel as it should be because of a malfunction of the pancreas.

A person with diabetes may have these symptoms: excessive thirst, frequent urination, excessive hunger, weight loss, failing eyesight, intense itching, pain in fineers and toes, weakness, tiredness and drowsiness.

A blood test can detect sugar in the blood, and many persons learn of the disease while undergoing regular checkups or being treated for another illness.

Prevalence in this country is increasing and probably is attributable to many factors. People, in able general, are living longer. The life expectancy of diabetics has increased.

Finding of the diabetic is important, and findin g the hidden diabetic is doubl y so. The earlier diabetes is detected, the easier it can be controlled and a person put on th proper diet and medication, says the Health Department SPJST--

Nemyslete si proboha, ze mi nic ne rite, historie. Bydlim ale uprostked ni v Praze ua' pies dvacet let a tak si mne mohou spice ziskat mesta, ktera ke sve dlouhe historii ptidala i trochu funkenosti modern/ doby.

Berlin ma oboji. Podle naleza na uzemi dneeniho Berlina tam zili de jia pked deseti tisici lety. Kolem roku 1000 naeeho letopoetu se zde mihli dokonce i Slovane, ale jejich povstani v roce 1157 potlaeil markrabe Albrecht Medved. Ve 14. stoleti mei na rozvoj mesta kladnk vliv jeho vstup do hansy, politickeho a obchodniho spolku severonemeckkeh west a pozdeji take vksady, ktere dostalo po ptipojeni Braniboirska k Ceske korune — v roce 1373 — od cisate Karla IV. Po vitezne prusko-francouzske valce (1870-71) se stal Berlin hlav nim mestem a kolem roku 1900 mel jia temet dva miliony obyvatel.

Velky Berlin vznikl administrativne v roce 1920.

V obdobi mezi dvema, svetovkmi valkarni byl Berlin zreadlem v nernit se verne odrelela boutlive situace v tehdejelm Nemecku.

Podobne si zjednodueili vkslovnost sveho domova i Eibinaci u Kostelce nad Orlici. Jmeno samozkejme ma svilj pavod take u htibu.

Ptivodnim jmenem houby smite y e stare destine byla "smrha". Stala se i jmenem osobnirn a dvilr pana Smrhy se pak pojmeneval Smrhov, jak nam to dokazuje pojmenovani romanticke vesnieky u Kaplice.

Pojd`te se mnou do stepi. Tam. prijdete vet do sebe. Vitr na stepich mnohe odvane. ja takove mute, jako jste vy, tani. pottebuji."

A na Sire stepi zvolna duSevni muka Norberta z FalknoVa ptestala hlodati jeho nitro. Uklidnil se. prisel opet do sebe. Ale vesela; mysi a jasnost se ney nevratily.
