The last 5 lines of col. 1, page 4, should have been at the top of the same column and were inadvertantly misplaced. We regret the error.

Up until the time of chartering of the lodge, lodge meetings were held in the Bedrich Ctvrtnik home in this general area of Houston—the Cottage Grove area. A number of the original charter members had previously been members at Lodge 88 but because of difficulties in transportation from one part of the city of Houston to another in those days, a number of the older members decided that they would work for a new lodge in this part of town. Moreover, there were a number of Czech families living in this area at that time.

According to the records in the Supreme Lodge, the following people were charter members of Lodge No. 142, some having transferred

in from other lodges, but by virtue to having joined Lodge 142 on or before the chartering date of May 25, 1919, are also considered charter members.

(Framed picture of General Stefanik and an accompanying hang permanently in this hall and is on display here today).

It rained on the day of the chartering of the lodge, which led some of the members to remark that "It is raining luck."

Moving on into contemporary times, the first discussion of a new building for Lodge 142 started when Brother Alvin Melnar was president, about June of 1971. It took over a year of talk and discussion before a motion was finally made and passed in a lodge meeting in October 1972 to build a new building. For some time, the outlook for the new project looked bleak, when in September of 1971 a proposal to by additional and adjoining land was voted down by the membership.

Brother Eric Stein became president in January 1972 and the talk, along with the, project, was revived.

After the decision to build a new lodge hall in October of 1972, plans began taking shape rather rapidly and ground was broken for the new lodge building on February 17, 1973. The contract for the new building was signed and construction started on April 30, 1973.

The contractor for the construction was the Houston Home Craft Corporation (HHC) with all of the building negotiations taking place with Mr. Alton Sargent.

Credit Where It Is Due. (The information that follows was given me by the officers and members of Lodge 142, in a special meeting and interview on Saturday, October 6th, in the old lodge hall and confirmed as late as last Fri, day.

In addition to Brother Alvin Mel nar, who was president when talk of a new building first started in 1971, the two people who have been in the forefront of the idea,

Lodge Stettusik No. 142, Houston, ribbon cutting ceremony (prior to the ribbon being cut). L to R: Carol Janik, Brother C. M. Rhodes, and Billy Havran, and finally the construction, were Brothers Eric (Butch) Stein and Leo Linhart. After the project got under way it was guided largely by Joe Cieslewitz, Henry Linhart, Eric Stein, plus the help and encouragentent of people like Chuck Rhodes, Alvin 'Weiner and Henry Hermis.

The project soon gained the support of all lodge officers and the general membership The officers currently serving Lodge 142 are as follows: President: Eric Stein Vice President: Nelson Jochen Secretary: Dorothy Beyer Fin.- Secretary: Rosie Tumis Treasurer: Brittle .Tanik Youth Leader: Debbie Kepner

The board of trustees are as follows: Joe Cieslewitz, Chalrman Alvin Melnar, Secretary Henry Herrais Henry Linhart CM. (Chuck) Rhodes The building committee consists of the board of trustees, plus Leo Linhart.

Also, among the original support ers of this project were Charles Havran and Don James. The lodge borrowed $40,000 from the Supreme Lodge for the construction of this building, per Article 38b of our by-laws. (The lodge treasury was obviously in pretty good shape thanks to the sound management

Wednesday, , o w ter 28, 1873

of the affairs of the lodge.)

The old lodge Stet anik hall was torn down recently, and there is a display of old lodge pictures that can be seen here today, depicting some of the past members and history of the lodge.

(The job of tearing down the old hall 4 completed, would you believe, just this past Thursday.)

Future plans call for the addition of a youth room.

Further, appreciation is extended to the officers of Lodge 142 for their work in planning these dedication services. Likewise, credit must be given to Brother C. M. Rhodes, presiding officer for these ceremonies, and who saw to the many countless details in this program since our meeting on Octobe,.• 6th. Cooperation of all these people has been wonderful. Brother Rhodes also saw to the printing of the program and brochures, and assisted the Supreme Lodge president's office in securing pictures and many other pieces of infornia tion necessary for this dedication.

Appreciation is also expressed to the general membership of Lodge 142 for the excellent cooperation and hard work in making this a memorable occasion. The ladies of the lodge, particularly, have spent many hours in the kitchen making preparations for today, It has been a pleasure working with all the good people of 142 on this program, particularly the officers, under the overall direction of President Eric Stein.

(At this point, present the framed SPJST emblem and plaque to the lodge through President Eric Stein.)

Finally, these thoughts for all of us: In the old days, it satisfied the members of a lodge to come together on a regular (or irregular) basis, pay their lodge dues and premiums, socialize, and visit with one another. Those were the days of poor roads, no radio, no television, and the Model Ts were slow. In recent, times, this sort of agenda and conduct of meetings have proven not be too successful. Because of modern communications, good roads, television, telephones, end other means of communication, our members see each other more often than they did in th old days and are able to

Wednesday, November 28, 1973 visit and exchange information more often.

A lodge meeting in this day and that has only the officers present for the purpose of collecting premiums is probably not meeting with very much success and not getting the members out to the meeting.

Over the years, experience has proven that where you have comfortable facilities for a lodge meeting, planned constructive activities, plans for the future, and where a youth club is present, you have a successful lodger We are pleased that some of those lodges not having such facilities are working on these problems and trying to do something about it.

The Supreme Lodge stands to assist lodges in this direction.

Very few people in thie day and time join a fraternal insurance benefit society solely for the purpose of having insurance coverage, although that is: the main purpose of our existence. They join because they want to identify with a. certain group, fraternize and socialize with other people with similar tastes and likes and with whom they can engage in the pursuit of a common goal. Just this last week, a national magazine carried an article about the popu -larityofcleganduiversty fraternities. It is now the "in" thing to belong to a fraternity at our colleges and universities. During the 50's this was not the case and indeed, the object of some ridicule. So belonging to a group of other people sharing similar tastes and pursuing common goals Is the most natural thing among human beings on earth. In the SPJST, most of this activity takes place in a lodge hall -- a, lodge hall that is convenient and comfortable enough to offer roughly the same conveniences that so many people have now in their own homes.

For that mason, the officers and members of Lodge 142 deserve a special salute and tribute on this day for having the foresight and industry to build a new lodge home, not only for themselves today, but for the generations in the lodge to come. On behalf of the Supreme Lodge, I extend best wishes for the future and our fraternal congrattilations on a job well done! I'd like to conclude_ with a few, words in Czech.

Senator Bill Patman of Ganado, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Agriculture, says that shortages of natural gas will directly affect the supply of nitregen fertilizers, and that he wants special priorities to be given to the use of natural gas in Texas for the manufacture of ammonia, the basic building block of virtually all nitrogen fertilizers.

"The fertilizers are estimated to consume about 2 per cent of the available domestic natural gas under normal circumstances," Senator Patman said, "but this supplies 8 million tons out of the 8.2 million tons of nitrogen fertilizer utilized during a normal crop year."

Heavy pressures will be on the industry to produce enough fertilizer for the coining crop year.

Prices have already risen as much as 50 to 00 per cent, and could rise even more dramatically as a result of the shortages which seem to be in prospect.

The Texas Railroad Commission has called, a public hearing tor November 26 to dete proper allocations for natural gas.

Senator Patman believes that the testimony at the hearing will clearly show the need for making State

"Thousands of other examples could be given." said Senator Patman.

available to the Texas Petrochemical Industry the supplies of feedstocks it needs, both in the form of dry gas and the liquids which can be stripped from( natural gas; and one of the most important of the uses of such materials, in his opinion, is the manufacture of nitrogen fertilizer.

To show the importance of nitrogen on a crop, Senator Patman referred to a 1967 experiment in grain sorghum in one of his coastal counties. Fertilized grain sorghum yielded 4.167 pounds per acre, as against a yield for unfertilized grain sorghum of 650 pounds per acre. The material is also extremely important in sustaining the high productivity of improved pastures.

A 1973 experiment, conducted on a plot of improved Bluestem grass in Matagorda County demonstrated a yield of 1,380 pounds of dry forage per acre (88 pounds of protein) from plants averaging four inches in height in an unfertilized area. This was compared to a yield of. 3,840 pounds per acre (401 pounds of protein) from plants averaging 24 inches in height from a separate area of the same pasture that had received 120 pounds

A commission of 37 distinguished Texas citizens finished work on their draft of the new Constitution on November 1, and copies have been available in limited. numbers since that time. Section 1, the Texas Bill of Rights, is untouched. However, some far-reaching ahanges are made in other sections.

The Governor is given power to reduce spending items in the Appropriations Bill. Now he can only veto them entirely, or let them stand.

The Legislature is required to meet once every two years, but the length and frequency of the sessions is left to legislative enactment, rather than spelled out in the Constitution.

Judges who hear cases on appeal above the District Court level would be appointed, rather than elected, from lists submitted by a Judicial Nominations Commission.

Rather than stand election against opponents whoi file against them, such judges would have their names submitted to the voters with the question to be answered, "Should Judge ('blank') be retained in office?" If a majority voting said "no," another person would be selected by the Governor from a list of approved nominees.

These are only a few of approximately 25 major changes proposed.

I wish to say that I have enjoyed writing for you in the Vestnik for this year, 1973. It is time-consuming to write a good letter and hoping that you will please all the members who read it. I have tried to do the best that I knew how, even though I had received a lot of criticism. Brother and Sister Sefeik, thank you for your help and for putting up with my writing for the past two years. I have enjoyed every minute of it.

The board of trustees elected for 1.974 are as follows: Edwin F. Marek, E. J. Geistman, Jerry Cable, Eugene Haider, L. B. Heisler, Dan Hoelscher, and Johnnie Chervenka.

14 LODGE 88 BIRTHDAY CLUB Dear Members, President Wanda Kennedy conducted a nice meeting. Secretary Marie Kalousek read the minutes, and these were approved as read. Wanda gave the treasurer's report, which showed our steady progress.

We surely had some generous donors for our November dinners! Sister Ida Hanka donated six cakes for the first Wednesday dinner, and Pearl and Ernest Hanka, donated the turkeys for that dinner. Evelyn Mikolas, in memory of her husband Johnny, and !Louise Jones also donated cakes. The club surely appreciates these nice donations.

Birdie Hilsher reported on the project of making tablecloths Willa the Entertainment Committee requested; volunteers were asked for and the date set for the work.

We really have some lovely guests at our club parties and luncheons, and it is nothing unusual to see a guest bringing a door prize or two!

One of these guests is Marie Brotherton who surely was generous in donating a very nice clock radio to the club; that was just great of you, Marie, and we thank you very much!

Another guest who has donated much to our club is that lovely lady, Delta Quade, who always donates such beautiful prizes.

Our Christmas party will be on the second Wednesday, and judging from what I hear, it is going to be a " mighty nine party; I will tell you all about it in my December letter.

Come and have fun with us; you can participate in the gifts by bringing a gift valued at least from $1 to $1.50, and guests are also included in this.

If you were not there, you probably have heard about the good turkey dinner on the first Wednesday and the equally good spaghetti lunoheon on the second Wednesday, and we have A. J.. and Elsie ZalesIcy and Tommy Jecmenek to thank for these delicious meals.

Birthday wishes go to our December celebrants: Estelle Kelly, Ludmila Kristinek, Lillian Finn, and Albana .Drawe. It was good to hear that our dear Sister Ida Hanka was home from the hospital, and we surely hope she stays well.. "Get Well" wishes also go to Harry Finn, who was in the hospital; we missed you, Lillian.

Je take zajima ye, ge kapes ne pro deti se poeitalo na centy, nikoli na dolary!

V roce 1929-30 nastala hospodat ska krize a v roce 1932 se konaly v USA presidentske volby. Joseph Kennedy znal osobne jig delgi dobu kandidata na presidentskY stoles, F.D .Roosevelta a ye volebnim boji se postavil na jeho stranu.

Zasedal na sjezdu v komisi, ktera mela fikol vypracovat volebni pro gram.

Za tyto zasluhy pozval F.D. Roosevelt, Josepha Kenendyho, aby ho doprovazel ve zvla gtnim vlaku na volebni kampani Po Statech.

Roosevelt se stal presidentem, Ken nedy eekal nejakou statni funkci, ale byl zklarnan. Nedostal ji. Odjel do Anglie a zde ziskal vYhradni zastoupeni skotske whiskey pro USA a tim zbohatl jegte vice. Prohibieni zakon byl jig ptedtim zrugen.

Roku 1936 zadala volebni kampari za noveho presidenta. Kennedy se znovu postavil za Roosevelta a dokonce napsal knihu "Jsem pro Roosevelta." Podruhe se zileast nil teto volebni kampane se vgi energii. Roosevelt byl znovu zvolen presidentern. USA a Kennedy jmenovom americkYm vyslaneem LondYne. Pri gel sem prave v dobe, kdyg nad Evropou se zaealo achylovat ke II. svetove valve.

Roku 1940 byl Roosevelt zvolei. potteti presklentem. Volebni boj sledoval Kennedy z LondYna, ale po tom odejel dome, agitoval pro Rosevelta a po volbach resignoval na Mad vyslance. Po valve venoval se opet finanenim a burzovnim obchodum. Jeho givotnim cilem bylo. aby nektery z jeho spit se ,tai presidentem Spojen7"rch state. Pro tote nejstargi syn Joseph padl ye valee toto ptani mohl spinit druhy syn John Fitzgerald.
