FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK As promised last week, here are some thoughts about the Texas Fraternal Congress we attended in San Antonio on Saturday and Sunday, October 26 and 27. The mamorial service at 10 a.m. Sunday was very nicely conducted and was done in dignity and honor in memory of departed members of all societies that make up the TFC. The afternoon session began at 2 p.m. and lasted about 2 hours. It was a constructive session with complete reports by the various officers and carried on in a fraternal spirit.

For our SPJST Society, Brother Sid Pokladnik gave a very good report on his work with the National Fraternal Congress of America (NFCA), and especially the DallasEnnis Fraternal Council. He was congratulated by all present on being elected to the NFCA Beard of Directors and thanked everyone, and all Texas societies, for their support in the NFCA convention held at Las Vegas, Nevada this year. Certainly our SPJST is proud of Brother Sid and we are certain he will represent all societies fairly and fraternally as he stated.

SL Pres. Morris was also present.

We took some pictures (most of them at the banquet Sunday night.

We regret that we ran out of film and that some of our Society members were either absent or we miss-

SO MUCH PRIDE! Some folks in looks take so much pride They don't think much on what's inside.

The pictures are in this issue and those present but not on the photos include Sisters Alice Banning (II), DSR Evelyn Mikeska, Patsy Baca, Bessie Franek, Agnes Lesak (all of District V) and Brothers Rudy Lesak (V), and Frank C. Sacky and Sister Sacky (VII), and DSR Edwin Smajstrla (VI) plus Brother William Pavliska (VII). We hope that we have named all present and we feel sure that all had a good time; we did!

We wish to correct the cutlines under the picture of Miss Agnes Houdek on page 15, of the October 30th issue of the Vestnik. We erroneously reported that all her dolls came from Czechoslovakia and this is incorrect. Of her 71 costumed dolls only about 12 came

from there and the remainder were all her own handiwork. It was our error and your editor is glad to correct same.

We attended the District VII meeting on November 3rd in San Antonio and will write more about it later.

America takes pride in its century-long friendship with Canada.

The man who was responsible for the happy neighbor on the north was Richaad Rush. Probably most of us have not even heard of him.

The War of 1812 between England and America was over. There were still many angry feelings everywhere. There was talk of a "Maginot Line." Two men, one from Canada, Mr. Bagot, and one from America, Mr. Rush, met to find the best way to be good neighbors.

Mr. Bagot said: "We'll build a row of forts all along the border.

And where the countries are separated by the Great Lakes we'll have gunboats everywhere. Then we'll be sure that the war really stops."

Mr. Rush, our assistant secretary of state, replied: "I think you are wrong. If your country puts soldiers and forts and gunboats along the border, my country will do the same thing. Having soldiers so

"But what else can we do?" asked Mr. Begot.

"Suppose instead we were to take away every single soldier," suggested Mr. Rush. "Suppose we had no forts and no gunboats at all."

"But I never heard of such an idea! An unarmed border! Nobody has ever tried that before. Would your country be willing to do it?" exclaimed Mr. Begot.

"I don't know," admitted Mr, Rush. "But isn't it worth trying?'

So, Rush and Saga got to work.

The army and navy officials were opposed to the plan. There were many meetings, secret and open.

They explained the plan to their peoples. To the peoples of both countries it sounded good. At last both nations a greed to t ry It. And it did work. This all happened over a hundred years ago.

The longest border in the world between two former enemies was without a fort, soldier, or gunboat; they have lived together as friendly neighbors, though they hav e had their share of diaagreements and I misunderstanding3s. The whole story of how Richard Rush worked toward this end against high opposition, and of his final success, is one of the great stories in American diplomacy and statesmanship. * • Postage Due — Your editor has been receiving a number of "postage due" letters which we have been paying for, however on Oct. 31st we received the following from our Postmaster.

come. Like the apple tree, I try to grow a little new wood each year."

This is the lesson: We cannot stop the flight of time; but we can keep on "growing new wood," and in that way keep on blossoming.

We can do better than the apple tree, for we have the power to think and direct our growth.

Knowing that the body is made up of an infinite number of little cells, which are constantly being renewed, and that these cells are intelligent, thinking units which obey every suggestion given them by the central thinking system, the brain, we can stamp the impress of youth upon them, and thus keep them young.

We used to think that the body was made anew every seven years, but scientific tests show us that we are being re-created every instant of our lives. Consequently, many of the cells in your body are only a few months old, while the jority of them are not more than two years old. But all of these cells take the impress of your thought, and you will have the appearance of youth or age according to the mental pattern you give the little cell builders of your body.

Robert Quillen, the writer from Fountain Inn, S.C., tells of a famous old naturalist in California who decided to build a house from raw timber. A friend, knowing of his plan, and observing him cutting down a tree, remarked, "Isn't that too large an undertaking for a man of your age?"

"It would be," chuckled the naturalist, "if 1 looked beyond the chopping of the tree and sawing of the logs, and pictured myself laying the foundation and erecting the walls, and putting on the roof.

Carrying load all at once would exhaust me. But it isn't much of a job to cut down one little tree, and that is my only undertaking at this moment," The old naturalist set forth the lesson that we cannot bear the burdens of a lifetime all at once.

Perhaps we can bear the burdens of today, and perhaps tomorrow we can bear tomorrow's burdens.

When one begins what appears to be an insurmountable task,• if he thinks of the entire matter, from beginning to completion, all in one lump sum, he may become so faint hearted that the job is never begun. So, to get the job done, we trim it down just a little every day, not worrying about what to morrow will bring, but just having enough strength for today, Then tomorrow, just one day at a time, and whether the days be many or few, the goal will be reached, because we worked just one day at a time.

When Longfellow was well along in years, his head was as white as snow, but his cheeks were as red as a rose. An ardent admirer asked him how it was that he was able to keep so vigorous and to write so beautifully.

Pointing to a blossoming apple tree nearby, the poet replied, "That apple tree is very old, but I never saw prettier blossoms upon it than those which it now bears. The tree grows a little new wood each year, and. I suppose that it is out of that new wood that those blossoms

One day when the publisher of "The Silent Partner," the late Fred D. Van Amburgh, was strolling through Central Park in New York he was approached by an old man who seemed helpless, hopeless, and hungry. The unhappy human stretched out his hand to Van Amburgh, who began to search his pockets for a coin.

It so happened that Mr. Van Amburgh had changed his clothes before taking the stroll and had neglected to change the contents of his pockets. No watch, no coin of any kind, no billfold could he find on his person. There he stood face to face with the beggar, apparently one as much deprived as the other.

Embarrassed and bewildered at his own lack of funds, he grasp the outstretched hand and said, "I have nothing to give you, brother."

The tired old man held Van Amburgh's hand, trembling. Then he reached into the recesses of his tattered old coat. His eyes brightened, his thin, blue, bloodless lips parted in a half smile as he said, softly, "Never mind, I can spare you a coin." And with that he thrust a dime into Van Arnburgh'S

hand.

Many people are imposed upon by professional panhandlers, and betrayed by chronic beggers; but no one can tell but what a ragged coat may 13- shielding an honest heart.

A father, in guiding his son, told the lad to drive a nail into a post every time he did an evil thing, and to withdraw one nail each time he did a good act The son did as he was told, but to his sorrow he found that although he Ares able to withdraw the nails, the nail holes remained to mar the post.

It is so with the record of every life. We may amend, change our program, turn over a new leaf -but some flaws remain. Habits, long continued, become hard to break. Nail hole scars remain to remind us of unwise decisions.

NEWSBRIEFS Sister Alice Banning ( 41'7), District II secretary and a very active sales representative Of Temple, stopped by and visited with us while returning home from Las Vegas. Also on the same day, Jaroslav and Beatrice Vavrusa, of Chicago, and Mr. and Mrs. Louis Chudej of West paid us a nice visit, and complimented the Czech people of Texas for retaining so much interest in the Czech language and heritage. The Vavrusas were amazed to hear so much Czech language being spoken in the small communities of Texas. On Thursday morning, District III Director Sid Pokladnik of Dallas dropped in and visited with us briefly while on an SPJST business transaction.

Mrs. Albert (Katherine) Vrana, 57, of West, died Wednesday, Oct Hos--tober31sinWtComuniy pital. Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 1st at the First Baptist Church in West, with Rev.

Houston, Tex. Nov. 2, 1974 ANALYZING THE REFERENDUM Dear Delegates and Members: In view of our economic situation as stated in the recent referendum mailed to all delegates of the 21st SPJST Convention and received by me on the 27th of October with the notation that this referendum be returned not later than Monday, December 2, 1974, I carefully read and re-read the three changes proposed due to the economic crisis and to my astonishment, I had a hard time believing it.

After reading the referendum again, I feel the increase of insurance to be retained by our Society is good. I am sure the actuary would not recommend such a change if it would endanger our position.

The 15c mileage (increase of 3c) seems such al trifle step. The increase of 3c certainly would not be a drastic benefit to anyone during the following two years until

our convention in 1976, so why bother?

But the last amendment is the one that puzzles me. "Give the Directors authority to adjust the salaries of the Supreme Lodge members and the editor, effective January 1, 1975." The way this is worded, the directors will be given full authority to adjust salaries of the mentioned employees anytime during the remaining time to our convention in 1976. Who will have the right to stop another increase of salaries in six months or one year after January 1, 1975? This is very powerful; why were we not approached with a percentagewise increase? This increase will involve thousands of dollars and our actuary must have assured the governing body, that this expenditure will not hinder our SPJST in any way, while the meazly expense involved in paying the hard-working sales representatives the usual annual commission on renewals was tabled and put on the shelf.

Only a few months ago, at the seminar of sales representatives held at Lodge No. 142 here in Houston, where we were assembled were told that the request made in a petition form asking the Supreme Lodge to consider and continue our commission renewals to the sales representatives as in the past and signed bey SPJST sales

Wednesday, November 13, 1974 representatives and mailed to the Supreme Lodge for consideration of the decision made by the Supreme Lodge in their quarterly meeting to cut the renewals. This petition was tabled by the governing body. The explanation given to us was that by cutting the annual commission renewals is that it gives incentive to the sales representative. Of course, the top ones will not be touched by this action, but the lower bracket, which includes about two-thirds of our representatives, who struggle and try hard to meet their quota, are the ones who are penalized.

And besides, we were told, whoever doesn't like it can turn in their rate book — in other words, resign.

This is not personal; It is my general feeling as a sales representative (since 1936) and a delegate to many conventions, that I have the privilege to express my opinion.

Fraternally, Frances Olexa -SPJST-

178, LONGVIEW-KILGORE AREA Dear Members and Friends: We held our meeting on October 27, at 2 p.m. at Bob Walker's lovely lodge on Lake Cherokee.

We opened the meeting with the pledge of Allegiance led by Ronald Hablinski.

We had a moment of silence for our dear departed brothers and sisters. May they rest in peace.

Brother Hugo brought the meeting to order after which we were led in our SPJST pledge by Ronald Kocian.

Roll call showed that we had a full attendance of officers. It is always enlightening to see them all there and taking interest.

The minutes of the meeting were read and approved with no additions or corrections.

Youth Leader Brother Vance Slough stressed the importance of attendance by our youth and especially the officers. He acknowledged more donations to the youth club. We are grateful for these and all others received in the past.

God bless all of you.

Brother Slough also made a plea for someone to take over his place as youth leader, because his already busy schedule working with the Scout youths does not LODGE

Wednesday, November 13, 1974 permit him to have the necessary time to work with our kids the way he would like to. We hate to lose you, Brother Vance.

Brother Hugo read an article out of the Vestnik by our District III Sales Representative Brother Alvin Nesuda. It consisted of pertinent insurance information beneficial to us all as policy holders.

Brother Nesuda really puts together a good article.

We had a report from Vice President Bob Stevenson informing us that during the winter months it would be necessary to find another meeting place since it may get Chilly near the lake, therefore, the following changes have been made.

Due to circumstances beyond our control the November meeting has been cancelled, our December Meeting will be held in the Hospi'tante Room of the Schlitz Brewery on December 6, at 7 p.m., after which we will have a covered dish supper and social. This brings up our January meeting which will take place at the Holiday Inn, on the third Friday, at 7 p.m. All meetings thereafter will be held' accordingly unless otherwise decided. December 6 is, of course, the night of our Christmas party.

This brings Up another item discussed. Prompt attendance at these meetings is essential, so that we can begin them at the time specified, and so that we do not keep anyone waiting. Prompt attendance would, therefore, be very Much appreciated.

Our most sincere thanks to Mr. Bob Walker for the use of his lovely lodge. God bless, Bob. There was much discussion about new business concerning our local lodge, (As a matter of fact, I've never heard so much discussion in my entire life. No cumin', just diseussin'1). Only kidding!

Certificates of Insurance were handed out to Brian Brezina, Kimberly Brezina, Terry Hinson, Ella Hinson, Kenneth Hinson, Danny Hannon, Peggy Davis, Tanya Bodin, Eric Bodin, Steve Brantley, Sheri Brantley, Kennon Brantley, Helen Brantley, Mary Gueka, Michael Gurka, and Wanda Gurka. to Roy Vaughan for bringing the beverages, Bob Stevensoo. for coffee, and colas, Sisters Noble and Budnik for cookies, and Sister Vrana for ice.

ATTENTION DELEGATES TO THE SPJST XXI CONVENTION HELD IN HOUSTON JUNE 19-22, 1972: Please study the three items in the referendum sent to the delegates on October 25, 1914.

No. I — Pertaining to the insurance change — should be OK. No. 3 — Increasing travel expense payment from 12c to 15c per mile could be approved.

No. 2 — Giving the directors authority to set salaries, etc. .

In my opinion this is taking away the authority the delegates have at the conventions. If we are to have a fraternal organization and not a stock com pany, the delegates must keep their authority.

The committee on salaries and donations did a good job on all the officers' and editor's salaries. The salaries set effective January 1973, for the president: $15,800 in 1973; $16,050 in 1974; $17,550 in 195; and $17,550 in 1916, and the other officers and editor are receiving increases on a similar scale, as set by the 21st convention (refer to the Convention Proceedings).

This Is not the time for extra increases above the salaries set by the committee fa the last convention.

I am sure if our delegates for 1972 keep their authority to set salaries as in the past, they can and will make adjustments again in the next convention in 1976.

Please study the proposals very carefully, DELEGATES, KEEP OUR RIGHTS! Fraternally, E. G. Mazanec, Lodge 66 delegate —SPJST--

LODGE NO. 17, NEW TABOR Dear Vestnik Readers, On November 3rd, the New Tabor Lodge held its monthly meeting.

The meeting was called to order at 2 p.m. by President Willie Trcaiek.

The Pledge of Allegiance was recited by all members present. The minutes were read with no additions or corrections.

A resolution of sympathy was read for Warren H. Ginzel.

Under new business, the lodge will hold its annual lodge supper on December 1. Those who attend are asked to bring their own bowls and spoons, and ladies are asked to bring sweets.

Our coffee urn, that has been serving is for several years, has gone out of order and rather than using the lodge money, a collection was made after the meeting to purchase a new one. Sister Albino., Gajevsky started the, ball rolling by being the first donor toward that goal. A hat was passed around and to our delight we could see $10 checks, $5 and $1 bills, and then there were quarters and nickles; so when the money was counted, we happily announced that $92.44 was collected.

This wonderful response shows what fraternalism means to our members, and, on behalf of our Lodge 81, I sincerely want to thank everyone of you for your thoughtfulness and your donations, be they large or small.

The Kitchen Committee members are most happy over the wonderful response and will be shopping around for a new coffee urn and an item or two that is needed in the kitchen at the present time.

Recently, Sears in Waco presented us with several manikins on which to display clothing and we have just completed a pioneer ladies' outfit that is over 75 years old, consisting of old-time hightop lace shoes, a hat (including an ostrich feather) and complete dress ensemble, including a gorgeous knitted cape donated by Mrs. Georgia Kucera, of Silverhill, Alabama. This makes an outstanding display.

Recently, Mr. Ray Jeter of Fort Worth contributed an old time blacksmith post drill. Now, I would like to find an old-time three-legged blacksmith blower, an anvil in any condition (the more wear it shows, the better), an old time vice, and other blacksmith accessories to set up an old-time country blacksmith shop, like the ones that used to be on almost every farm. If you have such an outfit, or any part of it, please drop me a line and I will arrange to have it picked up. Every item will be displayed with the donor's name and gall donors are entered in our golden book: why not have your name in there too?

We have visitors from all over the nation as well as from other countries. We recently had a visitor from Saudi Arabia, Mr. and Mrs. Hank Burge, and they found a lot of pleasure and complimented our museum. Those of you who have not seen the museum, library and archives, I would recommend that you do so at the earliest possible time r am sure you will find that our little museum is second to none. Come see it soon!

Fraternally yours, Otto Hanus, Curator r—

Sister Schuetz said the youth would begin practicing for their annual Christmas program. She would like for all the youth to come to the Friday night socials so they can all practice together. It is hard to practice when all members are not present.

From the Kitchen Committee, Sister Monthei thanked the ladies Who prepared the meal when she missed a previous meeting.

venrber 2nd, was to the music of the well-liked Blume Orchestra, which always is a nice affair as it is semi-formal and the ladies come in their best. The hosts for the evening were the ever-present chairman Leander and wife Josephine Pflughaupt and assisting them was a very nice couple, Ara Richards at the door and her husband Orlando, in the box office.

As usual, birthdays were celebrated and danced to with joy.

At Table No. 16, Frank Jones, happy and proud of his 39 years of living on this earth, kicked up his heels to a snappy tune. At Table 36, Leona Wind, with friends, celebrated with a request for "Strangers in the Night." There were many others and we wish them all happy birthday!

Sunday, November 3rd, after the delicious dinner and two-hours of social activity, a dance took place with music by the popular Vrazels, lasting until 9 p.m. The guests were in a jolly mood and the dance was hosted by Lowrina and husband, Karl Lindemann, who greeted the guests. Assisting them were two lovely people, Marie and Henry Koester, who worked in the box office.

So, another Sunday is gone, which turns our attention to another special entertainment date, the Pre-Thanksgiving dance on Wednesday, November 27th with music by Leo Heinrich who will pour his heart out with all the popular tunes and favorites of the 30s and 40s. Come out and enjoy yourself before the big day — Thanksgiving.

I am happy to let you know that Brother Louis Schenb rurn, who after having a serious accident at their lake home when he fell off the roof and received a serious compound fractured vertebra and a cracked pelvis, is now at home and doing fine. Louis was confined for several weeks in St. Joseph Hospital and I know he is very glad to be at home and his wife, Marie, and daughter, Susan, are most happy and will spoil him with attention. Take care and no more climbing on roof tops, Louis!

BRIEF NEWS FROM NO. 88

The pace of activity at Lodge No. 88 never slows down. The committees have to be on their toes to keep up the whirlwind pace. One activity after another takes place as soon as the door closes on the previous one. Saturday night dances are regular as clock work.

Friday dances are numerous and often lately and Saturday activities the same. The Polka Fest, Czech Day, and yesterday, our annual Turkey Day, November 3rd is gone and was well attended. The dinner was well prepared and delicious and plentiful as well. The committees deserve a pat on their shoulders, preparing a turkey din-. ner with all the customary trimmings is quite a chore and it was well done, of course it takes good will and mostly cooperation, and that's what we have at Lodge No. 88.

a expense involved in preparing a turkey dinner which was Wednesday, November 6th. It is wonderful how our members devote themselves to the lodge not only with their time but monetarily, as well.

Last month the donors were Rosa Lee and Tim Kostom for the first Wednesday and the expense was taken care, of by Louis and Oleta Harms the second Wednesday in memory of their mother, Rose Hanus, who was a devoted Lodge No. 88 member. Thanks to all these good people and this also includes all the donors who, so devotedly, bring the delicious- home-baked pastries to our dinners.

The Blue Room management, Brothers Abner Dixon and Frank 'Tilich, both serving on the board of trustees are planning a fabulous Christmas party for Sunday, December 22nd; of course, our pleasant bartender, Nat, will be on the spot as usual to make everyone feel at home. It will be a nice holiday party to be enjoyed by all present. The tickets are available NOW in the Blue Room on a firstcome-first-served basis, so be sure to get your tickets to a party with cocktails, dinner, and dance.

Newcomers are seen at every dance and hoping this will continue to be the case at our beautiful Lodge 74.

We are sorry to hear of the illness of some of our members. Mrs. Drake was in the hospital and it's nice to see her back feeling well again. The Wilcock family is having to go see their aged parents who are seriously sick, and then having to travel a lot to Greenville and back.' Brother Wilcock has back trouble and he had to stand up during the last meeting because of the Pain. I surely wish him much better health. I know what back pain is, so I feel for him. One of our sons has the same problem, since Christmas; one just cannot' enjoy life fully until some relief is found. My husband also has a lot of back aches and foot aches; the exercise stimulates his circulation and he does enjoy the good Music every Saturday night. We welcome all new members hoping all will enjoy and work for the growth of our Society and the nice recreation at Lodge 74.

I wish you all a happy Thanks giving and drive safely!

LODGE,

—REFERE ND U M— To ALL DELEGATES TO THE XXIst CONVENTION: In the recent October quarterly meeting of the Supreme Lodge some matters of importance and urgency were brought up,, and in order to effect a remedy. it, was decided that we would have to Peek action by the delegates to the

last convention by meats referendum.

Our actuary has recently been studying our reports and going over our last Annual Statement very carefully. One of the things he recommended was that we in crease the amount of life insurance retained by the Society before we reinsure with a, reinsur ance company. Article 80 (a) of our by-laws establishes the amount of insurance retained by the SPJST and everything over these amounts is reinsured with a reinsurance company. Article 80 (a,) specifies that to age 45 we 'retain $10,000 worth of life insurance 4 coverage; to age 50 — $8.000; to age 55 -$6,000; to age 60 — $3,000; to age 70 — $1,000.

Our actuary has recommended we increase our insurance 'retention as follows: Thru age 45 — $25,000; 46 thru age 50 — $20,000; 51 thru age 55 — $15,000; 56 thru age.60 — $7,500; 61 thru age 70 — $2,500.

This would apply only to preferred insurance risks. We would still reinsure those risks which would be rated as substandard:We feel that due to our good mortality experience, this change will be in the best interest of the SPJST Society.

Current general economic conditions were also discussed in the recent . quarterly meeting of the Supreme Lodge, and some solutions were proposed as follows: 1) An adjustment in mileage allowance from the present 12e a mile to 15c a mile for ALL those who travel on behalf of the SPJST:' 2) An adjustment in salaries for members of the Supreme Lodge and Editor.

When the allowances and salaries were set in 1972, no one could know that we would be faced with two-digit inflation, decreasing the purchasing power of all salaries. In comparing salaries and allowances with similar size organizations. it was found that the SPJST salaries are considerably below those paid to individuals responsible for operating corporations the site of ours and smaller.

Consequently, it was agreed in the Supreme Lodge meeting to: 1) Ask the delegates to 'the last convention for the authority to amend our by-laws regarding the amount of insurance to be retained

IrtSTN±K

by the SPJST; 2) Ask the delegates to the last convention to consider an adjustment hi the mileage allowance from the present 12e a mile to 15c a. mile. (This amount is not stated in any by-law, but is spelled out In the Convention Proceedings).

3) On the recommendation of the directors, and unanimously approved, it was agreed that in order to cope with the economic conditions, to ask the delegates to the last convention for the authority to amend our by-laws so that the authority to make adjustments in Supreme Lodge and editor's salaries be vested in the directors of. the Supreme Lodge, affective January 1, 1975. (The articles that would have to be amended would be Article 3 (f) and Article 35.

Fraternally, For The Supreme Lodge:.

• Nick A. Morris, President Leonard D. Mikeska, Secretary-Treasurer Each ballot it to be returned to the Secretary-Treasurer of the Supreme Lodge in the envelope ,spedaily marked "Ballot" to arrive no later than Monday, December 2, 1974.

BALLOT PROPOS/MI*7S1. To amend Article 80 (a) of Our by-laws as fo/lows: The amount of insurance retained by the SPJST Society it based on the following schedule: 'rhru age 45 $25,000.00 46 thru age 50 $20,000.00 -- $15,000.00 51 thru age. 55 $ 7,500.00 56 thru age 80 $2,500.00 61 thru age 70 FOR 0 AGAINST 0 3 To amend Article 3 (t) and Article 35 of our b y-laws: Amend Article 3 (f) as follows: Elect members of the Supreme Lodge, editor of the Vestnik, all required committees for administration of the Society as well as set the compensation for all delegates, convention officers, committee members, and all convention expense will, be borne by the Society.

(Rest of article to remain as Is.); AND, Add new subparagraph (n) under Article 35 of our by-laws enumerating the duties and responsibilities of directors of the Supreme Lodge, as follows:

The seven directors have the authority to make adjustments in the salaries of members' of the Supreme Lodge and editor of the Vestnik, effective January 1, 1975. ❑ AGAINST 3. To amend the Convention Proceedings from the XXIst Convention to allow' mileage of 15c per mile for ALL those travelling in behalf of the SPJST. FOR (3 AGAINST Cl Signature Lodge No. No. of Votes This ballot must be returned to the Secretary-Treasurer and reach the Supreme Lodge no later than Monday, December 2, 1974. Unsigned ballots will not be counted.

(MINOR CLARIFICATION: As a means of minor clarification, on Item 2 on the above ballot, the change would not give the directors the authority to set, the pay of delegates, convention officers, and committee members. The convention would set this as in the past and the change would only apply to. Supreme Lodge members and the editor, and it would not take effect until January 1, 1975.

The convention has the supreme authority to make any changes that it wishes. These proposed changes would be subject to review in the 1976 Convention. -NAM and LDIVD. Dear Fellow Workers: Our sales dropped off a little during October, but I'm sure we can make it up in the next two months.

During October we received 313 applications for $910,000 of life insurance, for a total of 2,848 applications for $9,934,525 of life insurance written during the first 10 months of this year.

At this time I wish to apologize to Brother Jerry Prochazita, of District V. It was he who was the Top Sales Representative of the month for September.

ITEMS OF INTEREST HOME MAINTENANCE CAN REDUCE HEATING BILL

With the prospect of energy shortages plus higher utility bills this winter, homeowners can take some action to reduce their heating bills,.

"Your home should be adequately insulated to reduce heat loss," says Bill Allen, agricultural engineer for the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. Tight-fitting storm windows and doors or double glazed windows can cut heat loss in half. Use of weather-stripping on loose-fitting windows and door frames provides additional insulation, and caulking helps minimize heat loss from loose-fitting window panes.

The TAMU System engineer also advises closing off rooms that are not frequently used and shutting drapes and window shades at night.

By limiting the use of kitchen the bathroom exhaust fans, a homeowner can further reduce heat loss in the home, Allen points out. However, the fans should be run just enough to eliminate all excessive moisture.

The engineer also advises closing the fireplace damper when the fireplace is not in use so that heat cannot escape, "By keeping heating and cooling systems in good operating condition, a hoinzawner might have an energy savings of up to 10 per cent," notes Allen,

"Careful maintenance and planning in your home can provide comfortable living conditions at lower costs," concludes the engineer.

AEROSOL SPRAY BOTTLES ON THE WAY OCT

Aerosol hair sprays may be on the way out, according to one authority.

"Reports of malfunctions and health hazards with aerosol sprays have caused the industry to turn to pump style bottles for hair spray," Mrs. Janice Carberry, family resource management specialist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas A&M University System, noted.

She said the', for years pump bottles were used for dispensing hair conditioners and setting la. tions, but now they will be used for hair spray too.

"Hair sprays will have to be reformulated before they can be put into non aerosol packages. Only 50 to 70 percent of the spray is active ingredients — the rest is propellants. Ingredients in the pump style bottles can be totally active," Mrs. Carberry says.

The cost of pump style sprays may be comparable to aerosols, but they will be more effective at holding the hair. That's because each pumping action will release more liquid and pure hair spray.
