FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK HE WILL BE UNHAPPY

NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS! Because of the erratic delivery of our mail, too much of our letters are arriving on Friday.

We appreciate all of you who are striving to write early and ARE doing so, however, we DO NOT know what our trouble is in our mail system.

• • LAST SERIOUS REMINDER: DO NOT DEPEND ON MAILING A LETTER ON WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY TO HAVE• IT HERE ON TIME FOR PUBLICATION BY THE THURSDAY DEADLINE. * .

Sunday, June 16th, we attended the District I YAD at Snook, Lodge No. 9. We were certainly surprised and pleased to see the parking lot completely filled with cars and the interior of the lodge hall also full of members.

District I certainly did well in the YAD! There were many entries in all categories and in royalty, there were three contestants for king and also queen. Congratulations to District One and DYC Lola Vavra, all the youth leaders and youth! We will leave the particulars to DYC Lola Vavra to report. * Let's remember life insurance is bought not sold. For years the life insurance fraternity has proceeded on the sales ideal that "Life

in-

....Who cannot get his mind off himself. ....Who tries to, live on what he owns, alone. ....Who trusts no man, not even himself. ....Who has no faith in the immortality of truth. ....Who keeps nothing sacred within his soul. ....Who expects all the world to serve him. ...Who knows no sense of gratitude. surance is never purchased; it must be sold." The idea was fortified with the statement that if a citizen walked into an agency office and tried to 'buy a policy over the counter, he not only would be looked upon with suspicion but it would be a waste of time to take the application because the man undoubtedly would be a bad risk.

And the experience of the life insurance fraternity shows that no life insurance is placed unless salesmen go forth, interview the prospects and use a certain amount Of sales cleverness in getting applications.

But a, concern, fully experienced,

offering a training course for agents comes forth with the statement, "Life insurance is bought, not sold." It bases this assertion on the argument, "Life insurance answers a human need. It protects what men will fight for and die for and save for." In training agents, "You must get them to feel what life insurance means to the buyer."

There it is. Most people today recognize what life insurance will do for them and their dependents.

In the conscience of every responsible man is the conviction that he ought to carry an adequate amount of insurance. An afterdinner speaker once referred to conscience as "thunderous as the sea." It is that thunder in a man's heart which causes him to buy life insurance.

Yet a salesman must obtain the application. He must show his wares, demonstrating to the prospect the contract fitted to his needs. In other words, the salesman is a counselor. That is the new school of life insurance sales training.

In addition there is an angle which has to do with persistency.

Too much life insurance has been sold by cleverness and high pressure, with life insurance; the purchaser has entered his purchaSe and has lapsed. Life insurance is different from a gadget. The gad-

Deadline for material to be accepted for the following Ilene Is Thursday.

Wednesday, June 26, 1974 get salesman, whether disposing of automobiles or brushes or vacuum cleaners, concludes the deal by leaving the article in the hands of the purchaser and the contract is completed. Not so with life insurance; the purchaser has entered a mutual contract that should last as long as he lives. He has obligations and a duty to perform in paying premiums in return for the protection. If he entered the arrangement by over-persuasion he can terminate it at almost any time. That is the chief reason for lapsation.

Talking with one of the active sales representatives in our Society, the editor obtained an inkling of his success when he said, "I talk to the prospect until he wants the insurance: When he is ready to fight to sign the application I know it is a sae. When I have to get his signature by same trick I know it is not a sale. The results shows up in my renewal commissions."

We can see some field man right now saying, "Bosh." But we really believe that there is no sale unless the applicant wants to buy. And if the field man will analyze his business he, too, will be convinced that his best business was that where he showed the applicant how to get the insurance that he needed.

A Correction -- SL President Morris has called our attention to a typographical and proof-reading error in our last issue. In the third column on page 3,, June 19,, 1974 issue of the r Vestnik, the second line from the top should have read: "good deal. of obstruction," and not "good deal of construction." We regret this error.

Features SPJST LODGE BUILDING PROJECTS GO FORWARD Progress comes in many shapes and forms. In our SPJST physical progress usually takes the form of either a new lodge or extensive renovation and expansion of existing facilities. In this short series of feature articles, we will be focusing on those lodges that are either contructing new halls or expanding their present facilities.

Lodge No. 177, Academy (Second in a Series) Lodge 177, Academy was chartered on Sunday, December 16, 1973, with the ceremonies taking place in the Academy High School gym.

The lodge had organized as a unit on July 17th, 1973, with SL Vice President Brother Joe B. Hejny pre sent and presiding over the election of the lodge officers at that time. Determined not to let "any grass grow under their feet", the lodge membership immediately started talking about plans for acquiring a site for a new lodge hall and the construction of a new lodge hall. Under the very competent leadership of the president, then and now, Brother Jerry Tomastik. and his very cornoPtPrIt of-

The foundation of the new home of Lodge No. 177, Academy begins to take shape

. with the surveyors doing their

and the workers digging the foundation and plumbing trenches.

Some of the crew working at the site recently, included, L to R: Lodge President, General Supervisor and Overseer Brother Jerry Tomastik, Clifford Tomastik, Wimpy Bland, C. H. Buckley, plumber, holding sign, Bill Messer, plumber; Tony Poncik (donated all work), his grandson, Bryan Poncik; SL President Nick A. Morris. (John Bartek, helper, left —All pictures by D. IVIassey before picture was taken).

4 ficers, the plans have gone forward rather rapidly, the membership approving of all the progress in their meetings.

On about February 15th of this year, the work of levelling the site for the building was started by Mr. Otto Reinhart, who cleared the area and donated approximately 200 yds. of fill. Actual construction Of the building started on about April 15th. The site and location of the new lodge home of Lodge 177 rests on 4.306 acres, approximately 10 miles south of Temple just off Hwy 95. The lodge site is south of Academy, south of the Little Raver -Academy intersection, first road on the right before the Little River bridge, going south, and the first road to the left going north after crossing the bridge. The site is on a prominent knoll (high ground) overlooking the Little River bottoms and surrounding countryside. The community of Lit tie River.is approximately one mile to the west.

The new building will be 150x100 feet, with a total floor space of 15,000 sq. ft. The dance floor space will consist of 4,500 sq. ft. The facilities will include a kitchen, youth room, nursery, sage with dressing rooms on either side, refreshments bar, and skating rink. The building will rest on a concrete slab, and the dance floor is to be made of hardwood. The new building will have central air conditioning and heating. The building will be all steel construction with the Three Steel Company of Houston furnishing the steel, and the electrical work is to consist of three-phase wiring. The parking area, which should be adequate , will be gravelled. The installation will be tied in. to the Little River Water Works.

1*. Wayne Crawford is the mechanical engineer. Mr. Wilson Malcik of Temple has donated the lodge an ice maker.

At the time we visited the building site and took the pictures (Friday, June 7th), a number of men were busy at work on the construction project, and they appear in the accompanying picture. Brother Jerry Tomastik, lodge president, is the general supervisor and overseer for the entire project and is spending a good deal of his time at the building site. The lodge owes

Vit3TlitX him a tremendous debt of gratitude Some of the materials and labor are likewise being donated to the lodge, all of which is a tremendous help to the lodge membership.

We will be bringing progress reports on this construction in the way of pictures in the coming we-

Wednesday, June 20, 1974 eks and months. Brother Tomastik, his fellow officers and the membership of Lodge 177 are to be commended for their fine and progressive spirit.

Dear Members, The regular monthly meeting of Fort Bend County Lolge No,. 175 was held on Sunday, June 9, 1974, at the home of Brother and Sister Johnny Sontag, 611 Main in Sugar Land.

Members and visitors enjoyed an afternoon of fishing and visiting In the beautiful backyard of the Sontags. The Sontags' home is on Oyster Creek and a real good place to catch a few catfish. Brother Johnny must have known where to cast his line because he not only caught the most fish but the biggest. His wife, Lilly, tells me he spends a lot of his time fishing!

Liz Monroe caught the smallest, a four inch perch, that's OK, Liz, you got a few nice catfish to make up for that one! Anyhow, those of you who missed this meeting, missed out on a lot of fun and good food.

Sister Sontag's dad, John Witek, and her brother, Henry Witek, from Wharton, were visiting. Her dad Went into the hospital in Sugar Land Sunday for tests. We sure hope everything turns out just

VtSTNIK

fine for him.

We talked with our friend, Bessie Franck, from Lodge No. 81 and she is very busy getting the souvenir book ready for their lodge. Sister Bessie has also been getting around and visiting relatives. She was up near Waco attending a wedding of a relative and at the Janca family reunion last weekend.

Brother and Sister Clarence Krejci were also out of town June 1st attending a, wedding in Weimar.

Brother Clarence took my advice a few months back and put in a garden; he says he is now busy trying to can all those vegetables.

Take care and enjoy your vacation and let us know so we can share it with your friends.

God bless you . . .

For several months a lively discussion went on in our regular monthly lodge meeting on the subject to expand our building or just remodel, and what would be most beneficial. Finally, in the called special meeting on Monday, June 13th, the membership cast an overwhelming vote to expand our facilities for comfort and business reasons and, mainly, there will be a youth building adjoining the main lodge building with private entrance and quarters for the youth. The building committee, headed by Chairman Brother E. H. Zalmanek, thoroughly presented the plans, the cost, the upkeep, the advantages and disadvantages at the monthly meetings and therefore there can be no misunderstanding about what the membership so overwhelmingly voted for.

Our lodge, as it is, is a place to be proud of and with all the remodeling and additional floor space we will have one of the most modern and beautiful lodge homes in the state. As I understand, everything is ready to start; in a few months from now we will see what we have.

Friday, June 7th, funeral services were held for William Buckanan the son-in-law of our dear Birthday Club member, Sister Marie Filipek, and the husband of her only daughter, Georgie. February 19th, William underwent a

Wednesday, June 26, 1974 serious operation in Methodist Hospital which seemed to be very successful, but complications de\reloped and lits condition was hopeless; he succumbed on Wednesday, June 5th and was laid to rest on Friday, June 7th, at the age of 52 years. He is survived by his beloved wife, Georgie Buckanan; two sons, David and John, and granddaughter Evette. Sister Marie Filipek speaks of William, her son-in-law, highly; to her he was like her own son; she loved him dearly. We extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.

Friday, June 14th, not feeling up to par, I just dropped in by the lodge to see how things were going with the Hi-Toppers who were playing that night. To my surprise I met my old friends and members who have not been around for quite a spell. Brother Joe Petrash and his dear spouse, Bobby, all dressed up to perfection. Bobby wore a beautiful pink chiffon gown and an orchid to go with it, given to her by Joe for their 41st wedding anniversary that same day, June 14th. Joe also was dressed in formal attire and both looked delightful. They had friends to celebrate with them, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Silver and Mr. and Mrs. Lone McCa,y; both ladies were also dressed in evening gowns.

Hope you all had a nice evening.

Come back soon and don't stay away so long. Wishing you many years of married bliss!

Have you tried the June specials in our blue room? I ordered a "Charlie Chaplain" and it was just delicious; take my word for it, I loved it. The "White Lady" I cannot vouch for, but she must be good, too; I am sure that some of our brothers will try her and let us know. Both drinks are specially mixed by our expert bartender, Nat. He will mix you anything you desire; just order and you have it.

Our managers, Albert Dixon and Frank Tilich, with their presence, make the atmosphere in the Blue Room friendly and cozy.

Social nights are popular Thursdays at the lodge. From 5:30 to 8 p.m. you may enjoy a delicious home-cooked dinner before you indulge in playing and visiting with friends around your table. I think everybody missed the friendly face of Sarge Allison at the door last Thursday. Sarge and Harriette

Wednesday, June 26, 1974 decided that they deserve a vacation and took a break. I hope they are enjoying wherever they are but it will be nice to have them back.

Sorry, I have to close, I am completely exhausted because I am still under the weather. But don't rejoice! I will be back next week, cough, cough, cough.

We wish to extend our sympathy to Brother Alvin Nesuda on the loss of his brother, recently.

President Hanus had everyone to stand in sincere prayer for Monsignor Kearns, who passed away Friday, June 14th.

Brother Alvin Nesuda told of the workshops held by the Supreme Lodge at Ennis recently. They were very successful, well attended and very educational. He also talked of the insurance sales. He told the members to get to know their sales representatives, get other people interested in insurance, and refer them to one of the sales representatives.

Sister Wilma, Nesuda spoke to the youth. She gave the details of YAD. She told them what they could do to help. Sister Nesuda said this would be the largest YAD, from the number of entries. She also spoke on rules and orders that were to be followed. There were three things the youth should do: 1. Listen, 2. Observe, 3. Take part and do. This is the way to take part and enjoy the clubs and events. After YAD they will be getting ready for camp.

The youth club officers were installed by Brother Silas Smith.

Brother Smith said that you could see in the lodges that were growing and increasing in membership that they were the ones that had active youth clubs. He challenged the youth to learn all they can about SPJST, while they are young.

It is easier to learn while you are young, and not to wait until you become older.

Steven Stanislav read two letters to fathers before the Father of the Year was selected.

Lodge No. 66 Father of the Year is Brother Batt Vernetti; Youth Chub Father is Brother Robert Pavelka. They each received a nice gift.

Door prize winner was Brother Benito Leos. Members having birthdays in June are: Sister Darlene Engelke, Brothers John Siracik, Arthur Leggott and Collette Pavelka. Happy birthday to each of you.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Jerry Pechal, Reporter LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS SPJST SUFTBALL TEAM REPORT Dear Brothers and Sisters, On Thursday, June 13, we played the Pirates and we won by a score of 2 to 0 in a real good ball game.

Lionel Schulz hurled a very good game allowing no runs, 2 hits, no walks and six strikeouts. Leading hitters were Wiley Beesley with a triple, Mark Winkler with a double, Dave Ellison with a single, "ilarry Wilkerson with a single and Lionel Schulz with a single.

Friday night, June 14, we played our first game against Ray Wallace from Grand Prairie in the Dallas Kiest Oak Cliff Tournament and we were walloped by a score of 10 to 0. Actually, we were 0 to 0 for 3 innings, then we started committing errors and I believe everyone, on the team made an error. Also, we had three of our regulars missing, so we were not up to full strength.

Jim Scoggins was the losing pitcher and actually hurled a very good game, taking away all the errors. He allowed 7 hits, no walks and 6 strikeouts, and all but 3 runs were earned. The team just played a lousy. game. Leading hitters were Lawrence Honza with a single, Jeff Burton with a single,

Wednesday, June 26, 1974 Dan Smotherman, a draftee, with a sacrifice hit and Wiley Beesley with a base-on-balls.

By losing, we had to play the following Saturday night, June 15, 'at 10 a.m. in the losers' bracket Against the Park Cities Baptist team. Fortunately, and despite the fact I had to play the whole game, we still won by a score of 6 to 1.

We had only five of our regular starters and four other players showed up, several had to work, one overslept and two arrived late.

Lionel Schulz saved the day because he hurled a very fine game allowing 2 hits, 10 strikeouts and one walk in chalking up the Win. Leading hitters were Wiley Beesley with two doubles and a home run, Lawrence Honza with a home run and a single, Jim Kohutek with a home run, Albin Vrana with two singles, Jeff Burton with two singles and Mark Hammond, an SMU baseball player, who played with us in the tournament, had a single.

By winning, we remained in the tournament and had another game to play at 2:34 p.m.

We rested, enjoyed a few cold beers, had a banquet of fried chicken, German potato salad, tomatoes, pickles, a pot of pinto beans, bread, chips, tea and dessert. The wives of our players sure prepared a delicious meal and it was enjoyed by all. This is the fun part of playing in the tournaments. We are very grateful and wish to thank all of our wives who prepared all the food.

At 2:30 p.m. we played the Southwood Methodist team, a group of fine young gentlemen, and they beat us, or rather we beat ourselves because we committed at least five errors and we lost by a score of 5 to \1. Again we had several of our regulars missing, though our regular catcher came from work and helped the team and I didn't have to play.

Gil Vetters hurled a good game allowing 5 hits, 2 walks and 6 strikeouts and an earned run.

We should have won this game, because we were eliminated from the tourney. Leading hitters were Wiley Beesley with 2 singles, Mark Hammond with a, triple, driving in our only run, Lawrence Honza with a single, Harry Wilkerson with a single and a walk, Jerry Manak with a single, Lionel Schulz, with a

V tSTNfK single, Gil Vetters with a walk and Jeff Burton with a walk. After the game, we returned to the park area, finished up the fried chicken and other food, enjoyed a few cool beers and returned home for the balance of the weekend.

We will be playing in another tournament this weekend in Garland, Texas, starting Friday night, June 21 and we play our first game against the Pouncho team starting at '7 p.m. We hope to have most of our players present and to make a better showing.

We resumed regular league play Monday night, June 17, against First Citizens Bank and we won by a score of 9 to 1 in a display of errorless ball afield and a total of 10 base hits and 4 walks, with just about everyone breaking out of their slumps. Jim Scoggins hurled a super game allowing 4 hits, no walks and 13 strikeouts and one unearned run. Leading hitters were Wiley Beesley with 3 singles, Greg Driscoll with 2 singles and a walk, Mark Winkler with a single, and a walk, and a sacrifice, Lawrence Honza with a single, Lave Ellison with a single and a walk, Harry Wilkerson with 2 walks, Jim Kohutek with a single and Jim Scoggins with a single and a walk.

Thursday night, June 20 we were scheduled to play the First Citizens Bank team and Thursday night June 27 we will play the Chrysler team at 8:30 p.m.. at the ai adale Diamond.

Monday night, June 24, we played Midwest Springs at 8:30 p.m. and Monday night, July 1st, we will play George Anderson at 7:45 p.m. at Samuel Grand Diamond No. 1. Do come out and see the team play before the season is over. We nope to see you at some of our games.

10 PHILOLOGY OF THE SUMMER CZECH CLASSES AT LODGE 88

By John J. Pech Completing now the third week of instructions truly a uniquely outstanding success was attained in the opening of the Czech Summer Courses inaugurated at Lodge 88 as a fraternal educational project, presenting as a cultural activity the study of the Literary Czech Language — "Spisovna -eeetina" — a subject taught in the curriculum of the University of Houston.

In the total enrollment of students we have a special feature of a childrens' class, ages 6 through 10; in addition to the regular adult beginners' class of all ages, for those who cannot speak or have only a little .knowledge of the Cezch language, but wish to learn the correct grammar and vocabulary; and the intiermediate and advanced class, for those conversant with the language. From every adult class some students will trans fer to the University in the fall semester.

Our instructor is Brother Teofil Halama, M.S., M.A., who teaches the Czech Courses at the University of Houston.

It is indeed a joy to watch the youngest class follow attentively the special children slanted-beginnings of learning the first steps in the correct knowledge of the Czech language. In the adult study classes of beginners, intermediate and advanced students, great interest and eagerness to learn constantly prevails, and the excitement and occasional applause from the capacity filled rooms echos throughout the vestibule. Our lodge President Brother Ernest Hanka, a student himself, was most proud to welcome everyone to this frater nal project, and received a nice applause.

The teaching method is the very latest, recently introduced publications used at the University of Houston together with other text• books and special conversational and folkloric material adapted especially for these courses by the Czech Language Committee and the instructor. The grammar and vocabulary studies in the classes will form foundation for and lead to the correct knowledge of the literary Czech language — "spisov-

V STNiK na ee§tina" — as recognized all over the world and in all schools of higher learning. Much planning, many preparations, and a lot of hard work was devoted to the activation of this educational project by the CLCUH Committee.

When the Czech Language Courses at the University of Houston were introduced in the fall of 1973 — after 20-years of absence — one premise was clearly established in the meeting of the University officials, the president, the dean, assistant dean, the director of the Foreign Language Department, and the Czech Language at the University of Houston Committee — CLCUH: It was unreservedly affirmed that the Czech, Language Courses be exclusively directed toward the learning of the recognized 'Literary Czech" leading up to and ilcluding the graduate level of study, and only this academic prog ram will be taught at the University and no colloquialism Czech brogue or dialects of any form can be recognized in these basic studies This fundamental principle of correct •study of the Czech language is also observed in the summer courses offered at Lodge 88.

In the study of our Czech lan guage, as a premium, let's accept the literary works of the Czech reformation, the printing of the Bible Kralicka in 1579 and the works of Jan Amos KomenSky-Cemenius, as the Czech literary language of the 16th century.

When the Czech Nation lost its freedom in 1620, some 300 years ago, Czech schools in the nation were closed and destroyed. Czech books were burned, and the intens•entsia of the nation expelled (see article "Our Cultural Heritage in Musical Arts", part 1, published in June, 1973 in the Vestnik, and the forthcoming part II of the treatise). The Czech langua ge survived only by being spoken in the homes of the villagers, by reading — under the penalty of death — the Bible of Kralice, printed under the aepptees of the Czech-Moravian Brethren in 1579, and in the songs of the Czech Nations folklore. Obviously in the first circa 200 years of the national cultural tragedy, the Czech language developed local variants almost in every district of the nation. This led to the appe-

Wednesday, June 26, 1974 arances of many dialects based solely on the lack of knowledge of the correct Czech language inability due to the non-existence of schools and with each generation adding to or dismissing from usage some form of expression, vocabulary and erammar. This how ever, does not mean that the Czech language ceased to exist. Because of the lack of communication, absence of schools, but due to the tremendous desire and vitality of the subjugated nation to speak its language, these variations in the Czech language developed with sometimes very slight and sometimes more pronounced differences of expression varying from region to region. In Moravia, there were some ten, and in Bohemia circa 15 variations in the dialects of the Czech language. Again these variations in the pronouciation, spelling, vocabulary and grammar were comparatively so insignificantly un important, that eventhough there was very little traveling in the nation in the XVI and XVII centuries the people still spoke what is known as the Czech language and would have completely understood each other irregardless of the dilalects. Perhaps at that time, one strong connecting link in the events affecting the language were the small Czech protestant or Reformation Religious Song Books and Prayer Books printed in the Czech language across the border, primarily in Bavaria and brought into the Czech lands in very large numbers by dedicated Czech Reformation patriots fin- distribution among the villages and town populations, even tho forbidden under the penalty of torture and ultimate death for anyone in whose possession these Czech books were found. There developed other factors which helped and assured the preservation of the Czech language, but this would belong already in an article about Czech history.

To skip the ensuing years, when Czech schools were opened in the XVII century, and the religious freedom decreed, the Czech nation's resurrection began. At that time in 1817, four great Czech scholars combined their efforts on behalf of the reestablishment of the Literary Czech language encompassing the linguistic development of

Wednesday, June 26, 19'74 the world in the past two centuries. Jan Kolar, poet and writer, born in Slovakia; Frant gek Palacky, the great historian of the Czech Nation, born in Moravia; and Pavel Josef Safatik, the librariancurator of the Czech Museum, born in Bohemia, who together with Josef Jungmann compiler and editor of the first Czech Language Dictionary made it possible that within a quarter century -- mere 25 years -- the Czech literary language was reborn throughout the nation after circa 200 years of cultural destitute.

With the knowledge of the correct Czech language brought home by the children from the newlyopened schools all over the nation, the so-called dialects began to disappear and so, this day, as reported recently in the Czech magazine, "SirtT", we have as a preserved cultural project only two main locals where a semblance of what is known as dialect is observable.

One is the region of Hana in Moravia, and the other is the region of Chod in Bohemia where Folkloric Programs of customs, colorful costumes, and cultural heritage are perpetuated and performed during special events or national holidays.

The Czech Nation, even in the most remote regions of the hill country of northern Moravia, LaS'sko, and Valasko, the ancestral home of many Texas pioneers In the study of the Czech language, and if the remnants of any dialect may possibly be found, it would probably be only among the very old where force of habit may still prevail.

In the study of the Czech language there is only one correct way of learning and that is the literary Czech. The inclusion in the basic study of any variations of the old Bohemian, Moravian, Silesian, or our local "Texas eatina" dialects of the past (born mainly out of lack of schooling caused by the inadequate existence of Czech schools), would only lead to endless confusion of the students.

Take for instance the pronoun and the verb .TA JSEM — JA SU — JA SOM, the same meaning — I am — intended in all of the three version; BUT — the first J.4 JSEM is the correct literary Czech and the other two but idiosyncrasies of

Vt STNIK the dialects (and this is only one simple small example). How foolish it would be to burden students with pages and pages of such useless impractical information and thus make the study of the basic Czech language more difficult and confusing in the universities, junior colleges or high school e [forts to teach the Literary Czech language leading to graduate level of instructions. The above however is in no way intended to preclude anyone's interest in the dialects nor the establishment of such study as a pre or postgraduate subject, if there should be any students interested in such a class.

The Czech Literary language as a living language is in constant process of development — same as English, German, Spanish, etc, all living languages. This obviously took place from the beginning days of the nation and Czech, old Czech or Slavic language must have been the binding force of the historical armies of the Czech King — leader Samo, when the Czechs in the year 622 repeatedly defeated the Central Europe invading Mongolian hor des of Avers. The constant development of the Czech language certainly was affected when Cyril, who together with his brother Methodius brought Christianity to the many differently named Slavic tribes known by the generic name as Boemi, Benii, Bohemi, and who settled from the banks of river Elbe to Danube. Not wishing to deal in detail with the history of the Czech Nation (Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, all Czech speaking people) at this time, it suffices to say that in those ancient days of sparsely settled country, individual leadership developed in the respective pro vinces and it was the Moravian ruler Rostislav, who invited Cyril and Methodius — known as the Czech Apostels — to Moravia. (Bohemia is about 20,000 square miles and Moravia is 8,000 square miles as compared with Texas 267,000 square miles.) Cyril among other contributions prepared in the IX Century a Slavic translation of the scriptures and lithurgy. The Cyrilic alphabet superseded the Glagolitic or more ancient Slavonic alphabet.

In 1348 when the Charles University was established in Prague — and even of course before that

11 date — the Latin, spoken by most of the Czech intelligentsia and also the Greek language at that time had great influence on the Czech Literary language to a point where the roots of these two languages account for about 30 per cent of our vocabulary. Any living language grows constantly, but the science of semantics, a most important segment of the worlds academic knowledge, is not in itself, even in the most remote way the subject of this article.

The dialects we are referring to in the above (and which have as stated almost disappeared in Czech osiovakia today) stemed directly from the unfathomably oppressive tragedy of the closing of Czech schools and from the determinated effort to stamp out the Czech language and destroy the Czech people as a nation, after the tragedy of the Bila Hora in 1620 when the nation lost As freedom to usurpers, plunderers and pillagers who employed every scum of the earth in their mercenary hordes and armies.

In teaching of the Czech language at the University of Houston, we wish to protect these studies and lay a strong foundation for the future growth by the study of the Literary Czech language unhampered and undistorted by any special interests in and or confusions of individual opinions of so called dialects. This by no means refers to any present teaching conditions anywhere ,but it does establish our policy in Houston as arrived at in the meeting with the University of Houston officials.

This also, we repeat, must not be construed as an objection to, but in affirmative accord with special historical studies of Czech dialects wherever universities and other schools have students interested in devoting time to such subjects.

Since the eventful years beginning with 1817 when the Czech Liter ary language was reborn after 200 years of being dormant, many changes in grammar and vocabulary took place and to be acutely aware of these developments we need only to read for instance the monumental "History of the Czech Nation" -- "Dejiny naroda deskeho" by Frantikik PalackY (one

12 of the afore-mentioned fathers of the reborn Czech Literary language) to realize the tremendous changes which developed in the expressions, grammar and the vocabulary, of which most notable influence in the last two or three decades was that of the inclusion of much of our American-English language. Any word or expression used by more than half of the peoples of any nation, usually finds its way into the dictionaries and becomes part of the living language of the nation.

We are very proud of our student body in our Summer Czech Classes held at Lodge 88 and will, in the forthcoming issue, list all their names and include pictures of the classes.

eports DISTRICT III SALES REPRESENTATIVE'S REPORT It seems that 1974 has just started and in two weeks it will be half used up. Our quota for 1974 is not quite a.' far along. As a, matter of fact, we have only 42 1/z % of it accounted for. This means that we will have to do a lot better the second half of We year than we have the first half. One thing that will be in our favor, we will have two new lodges that will be helping us. That is Lodge No. 178 at Longview with four sales representatives and Lodge No. 1801 at Burleson with one sales representative. New lodges always create interest and I am counting on these new lodges to help put us over.

LODGE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Brother Sefcik, On June 6th, at 6:30 p.m., we held a covered dish supper to honor our five graduates in the youth club. Afterward, we had our monthly meeting.

We were privileged to have Mr. Nick Morris as our speaker. He gave a very inspiring speech. A copy of his speech is included with this letter, I wish you would take the time and space to publish his speech so that everybody could read it.

Fraternally yours, Howard Stefka, Youth Leader (6-1'7-74) * • REMARKS TO GRADUATE,S-4974 (`Lodge No. 47, Seaton) (By SI; President Nick A. Morris) (Thursday Evening, 6 June 1974) It is becoming increasingly dif-

VtSTNIK ficult to strike a theme in one's remarks before graduating students throughout this state and nation. All of the old themes seem to have been exhausted such as "Hard Work Has Its Rewards," and "Doing Your Best At All Times," "Living a Clean and Moral Life," and a few others are becoming rather shopworn.

What should be the thrust of a message to graduates today in 1974? In researching several national magazines and reading the speeches of several graduation speakers throughout the state, we get an idea of what the focus is on today in 1974.

1. An outstanding finding seems to be that non-college youth today are just about where the college population was in 1969 in adopting new social values and a new moral outlook.

2. Among non-college youth the ,belielf that "hard work always pays off" fell from 79% in 1969 to 56s at present.

3. Its not that young people are less willing to work hard, but their incentives and what they want as a pay-off have begun to change.

Their desires go beyond good pay and economic security.

4. Interesting and beneficial work is described as just as important as good pay. Self-expression and fulfillment are as important to working youth today as simply the idea of making money.

5. Because of recent trends in political circles, young people have become largely skeptical about our society being a democratic one They believe it is democratic in name only. A majority believe that special interests run the political machinery of the nation, with little participation by the masses.

6. A large majority believe that businesses are too much concerned with profits and not enough with public responsibility. The most important political question for the future relates to the outcome of the efforts by the noncollege majority to satisfy their new values and expectations within the structure of existing institutions, despite the fact that they halve begun to develop more critical views of our society and its institutions.

7. If America's work, education and political institutions prove to be flexible and responsive — and

Wednesday, June 26, 1974

a sizable majority of America's youth think that they are — we can look forward to a period of social stability, moderation in politics and perhaps even a resurgence of traditional American optimism about the future. However, if these institutions prove rigid and unresponsive and our political leadership shows insensitivity to the changing needs and values of our young people, then the underlying potential for discontent will become all too real and we will face a period of instability and demagoguery.

All of us know that what was not accepted as good social and moral standards a few short years ago is accepted today as a way of life. We need not necessarily approve of these changes, but a look at the facts tell you that they are here and very much with us.

Every generation has had to find its place in society. At the time, the elders of the society were pulling their hair and ringing their hands at the antics of the young people, but somehow, in the end, the young people always proved that they were worthy of the hopes, dreams, and trust of that generation. Our society, throughout the nation, and perhaps the world, is today undergoing a certain amount of upheaval and change, but I think that this is another, historical milestone that had to happen. Yes, a small segment of our young people have always been guilty of errant behavior and have caused their elders a good deal of headaches. But in the final analysis, who is going to correct these undesirable trends?

Of course, the answer is — these same young people — OUR young people — OUR sons and daughters.

As another speaker recently put, it. we must preserve what we have while recovering what we've lost.

We adults tell you, young people that you possess a richer and fuller educational background than did any of your predecessors. Avoid extremes in all things.

Finally, do not become too dismayed with what seems to be an apparent breakdown in our political system. It only seems more real today in 1974 because of the intense and effective means of communication. In the 20's we had the Teapot Dome Scandal, and if you go, back through your history

Wednesday, June 26, 1974 books you will find the pages replete with scandals and errant behavior on the part of adults in this country ever since the organization of our Republic. Go back to the days of Caesar, Napoleon, and many other figures prior to them.

You will read of scandals that threatened the moral standards and taxed the moral fibers of their day, but the American people have a certain built-in resiliency that enables them to spring back from these things. We will spring back, from our current crises, and we will be a better nation because of it.

It might be termed a "cleansing of the soul" that was destined to happen. And in all of this, and despite all of the political upheaval on the national scene, it is developing and becoming evident that people in local governments city, county, and state, are maintaining their fidelity and loyalty to good government and are continuing to function in the proper manner. This is another example of where you and I — conic to the rescue, as it were, of our, system of government and our institutions.

It has always been so. Leadership may falter and allow themselves to fall into serious error, but always, in the final analysis, it is the people who bring the country through.

I am reminded of post-war France and up until the time General De Gaulle took over the reins of government, twenty-six governments came to power and fell in France.

It seemed that France was on the brink of national disaster as far as its leadership was concerned, nationally and internationally.

The record shows, however, that during all of those years of political upheavals and instability a vast corps of loyal government workers and citizens of France kept the country together and kept it functioning as a complete viable entity.

Even with all of the technology we have required over the last two or three decades, man and his basic ideals have not changed very much. All of us today — including you --- must still determine what is right and what is wrong, and based on your upbringing by your parents and the education that you have absorbed these last twelve years, you should be able to make the best decision, the correct one, morally and otherwise.

I don't fear for the future be-

16

VISTN1K

cause I am reassured from time to time by the actions of our young people. For every erratic act and errant behavior and indiscrete act on the part of a small minority of our young people, there are a hundred who are trying and are doing the right thing.

We feel that the country is in good hands — our future is with you. We trust you and we believe in you. We know you will not let us down and that you are equal to the challenges facing you. Who

ANNUAL

else can we trust and believe in if not our younger generation?

Frankie Klinkovsky, Jr., Frankie Novosad, Becky (Vanicek), Susan (Pavlica), and Charles (Sodek), I and the members of Lodge No. 47, and certainly your parents, and I include all graduating seniors everywhere, we join together in wishing you much success in all of your endeavors throughout life, and may moderation in all things and good health be with you always.

From the Supreme Lodge

June 10, 1914 Temple, Texas

Dear Members: This report as directed by ARTICLE No. 33, Section F of our by-laws, is taken •from our 1973 Annual Statement.

The various items in this report are designated by exhibit numbers, exactly as found in the Annual Statement. This statement was filed with the State Commissioners of Insurance in February, 1974.

EXHIBIT I. This exhibit represents the increases and decreases of our assets on cash basis, as taken from the Annual Statement. It shows an increase of 849,499.84 for the year 1973.

AKIIIHIT II. Exhibit No. 2 is figured on accrual basis, as required by the State Board of Insurance. This exhibit itself takes a lot of time to complete due to the fact that every item has to be figured separately and all the interest is calculated to the end of the fiscal year. This item shows a net gain from operation in the amount of $314,148.70.

EXHIBIT III. This exhibit shows the assets and liabilities combined with the cash and accrual method, with the life certificate reserves figured by the Actuary. All the figures are first tested and refigured before they are entered in the State Insurance Report. You will note that the $186,000.00 "Provision for Refunds" is added into liabilities, plus the $14,525.98 for premium refunds, due and unpaid to 12-31-73 — these two items increase our liabilities by $200,525.98. The 21st Convention allowed additional liabilities on the class "B" certificates. Starting in January 1973 we issued paid-up supplements on "B" certificates when. the policy holder pays in the face value of his or her certificates. For the year 1974 we will issue about 150 paid-ups on class "B" certificates.

EXHIBIT IV. This exhibit shows the increases and decreases in the mortgage loans, giving you a complete account by showing the number of farm and city loans and the amounts outstanding.

EXHIBIT V. This exhibit explains the income from interest, dividends, rents, royalties, and Certificate of Deposit.

LITTLE MISS SPJST, Kelly Sokol, decided when it was all over, it wasn't worth getting her picture made. But with the encouragement of Grandpa Carl Lindemann, we caught this/cute pose. (Photos by Wanda Kennedy).

LETTERS FROM THE YOUTH

LODGE NO. 25, ENNIS Dear Readers, Our youth club had their meeting Wednesday night, June 12. We had a big turnout and had lots of fun. I will go to YAD on June 23.

Our next meeting will be on July 10th, at 8 p.m. See you at our next Meeting.

Fraternally, Allis Krajcs, 6-13-74 -SPJ8T-

EXHIBIT VI. This exhibit is a complete breakdown of certificates issued during the year. We issued a total of 3,564 certificates for $11,635,075.00 of insurance. We subtracted from this amount the following: 399 Death Claims. The death claims for 1973 were down to normal as compared to previous years.

126 Maturities. (This amount represents endowments paid-off — such as JE, 15-year and 20-year, etc.)

29'7 Expiry. (This consists mostly of ,TT policies that are converted to adult classes and also expired extended term insurance).

252 Surrenders. (This consists of policies that withdrew, but have reserves. Where possible, we pay off the member the full amount of reserves and cancel out the insurance risk).

808 Lapses. (This includes policies that withdrew or that were expelled, but did not have any reserves).

You will note that from the 3,562 certificates issued, we subtract 1,883 certificates (explained in the above paragraph) and this leaves us a gain of 1,681 certificates for $7,289,327.00 of insurance.

The progress chart follows and represents the progress of our Society from the year 1904 to 12-3 ,1-73. Also please note that the premium refund to members is added into the progress chart.

This should prove very valuable in regards to information about our Society. It gives you the exact statistics as to the full operation. It is a condensed report of income and expenses. Keep this copy of the "Vestnik", you may have an occasion where this report will be very helpful.

This valuation progress report is exactly as required by the State Insurance Commission.
