FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK As of Wednesday afternoon, October 15, having been released from the hospital, we are back at "Ye Ole' Editor's Desk." We feel fine, although, as the doctors warned; Don't over-do what you came here to be corrected for! * * Last issue, October 15, we wrote of the official dedication of Lodge Texaska° Orlice No. 13, Dime Box, on October 26. The information of the dedication is on page 3 of this issue and was received Saturday, October 11, delayed due to Brother Morris' duties with the quarterly SL meeting and the lack of his time, and also here at the printshop. We feel all of our members will and do understand, especially our good fraternalists at Lodge No. 13.

Let us all attend the grand opening and dedication and help them on their journey forward. We can all see, by the program that nice arrangements have been made to make the day pleasant, entertaining and most enjoyable among true fraternalists. Remember — Lodge No. 13, Dime Box, was one of the original chartering lodges of our SPJST, in 1897! Let's show their officers and members that we appreciate their efforts and are wishing them well in the future! * * Many of our members, surely remember the time in October 1962 when our then Editor L. 0. Hosek

HAVE A SMILE TODAY! When I was very, very small Someone said one day: "Here's a basket of smiles for you, Try giving them all away."

So through the years I've tried my best To give them all away; But the more I give the more I have Every single day.

—Velta Myle Allen * * DANDELIONS AND ROSES My son brought me dandelions When he was three years old -Ragged, crumpled dandelions, But the color of pure gold.

Now my son is thirty-three, And he brings me roses red — But why, with all their loveliness, Do I wish for dandelions instead?

Annie Dulaney died suddenly and the Publication Committee and Supreme Lodge met soon after to find a replacement for Brother Hosek. It was at that meeting when Brother Nick A. Morris was chosen as a replacement for him to become editor as of January, 1, 1963.

For the rest of the year of 1962 the SPJST Vestnik was published regularly every week through the efforts of the Cechoslovak Publishing Company mainly due to the

devotion to our Society of Brothers Jerome Kopecky, shop foreman, John Ripley, typesetter, and Jos. F. Holasek, publisher. During those few months, these brothers, who were well versed with the format and requirements of the Vestnik, actually did the job of putting out the Vestnik. Why do I write these lines? Simply because during my brief stay in the hospital, although I saw the final copy before each publication, brought to the hospital

by Sister Sefcik, these two fine fraternalists again took the responsibility, with Brother Ripley and Sister Maxine Sefcik taking care of the English section and Brother Kopecky, although retired, doing the Czech section. My devoted, heartfelt fraternal thanks to such devoted co-workers and sincere fraternalists! I hope I can repay them in some way in the future. * * Your editor's thoughts . . In October I wonder why, if a man is as wise as he thinks he is, he is content to go away from the tribulations of a job at a time when the most enduring thing he can acquire is a sunburn and perhaps a case of poison ivy. Summer really isn't the ideal time for a vacation.

If ever there was a season for man to savor this earth, October is its peak and prime.

Now is when good things abound for man's enjoyment. Ducks are on

Man, the ingenious, the adaptable, the industrious, the discoverer and perfecter of the 12month calendar — man is at his desk, tied to his own clock, with only a few brief glimpses of what might be his outdoors if only he had time by the horns, instead of duty by the tail.

SPJST — Czech Day Celebration at Lodge No. 88, Houston, Sunday, October 28th,

Wednesday, October 22, 1975 LODGE NO. 92, FORT WORTH Dear Members: It is difficult to realize as I write this report, two weeks have passed since our 65th anniversary celebration and it will be over three weeks when you read it. However for the benefit of those who did not attend, and for our friends• in other locales, I'm happy to say, it was a success and seemingly enjoyed by all in attendance. Our president, Brother Carl Zich, has not yet obtained the photos he made that day but as soon as he receives them we will send a few to be published. On that day we were privileged to have as our guest speakers, the Supreme Lodge Honorary President Brother Edward L. Marek, our &I President Brother Nick A. Morris, and Brother Sid Pokladnik, along with their loyal and charming wives. We enjoyed and appreciated their appearance here. It helped to make the occasion more meaningful.

On the evening of October 4th, many of us took pleasure dining and dancing at a wedding party given by Brother Richard and Sister Martha Durham honoring their newlywed daughter, Sister Pamela and her husband, Craig Davies. Grandparents of the bride are Brother Richard and Sister Mary Hubenak.

On Sunday, October 12, despite the lure of weather ideal for outdoor enjoyment, the attendance was good at our monthly meeting.

The regular business was discussed and disposed of, then quite a few items of interest were reported.

Felicitations were in order for Brother and Sister Rudy and Justine Chaloupka, celebrating their 39th wedding anniversary that day.

May they enjoy many more!

Since last month, Brother Albert Kubala obtained one new memben, Sister Mary Hubenak also aequired one member, and Brother Joe Krivanek submitted seven names for approval. All nine were accepted. The Board of Trustees offered their thanks to all who assisted during the anniversary preparations, and I'm sure all of us would like to reciprocate, since many of the trustees donated material for the new tables used for the occasion and others contributed countless man hours to the construction of them, especially Broth-

VESTNIK er Joe Juran who guided the project.

Sister Bennie Bartek was not present at our meeting because she remained at home with a most welcome house guest, her sister, Sister Olga Steele of Dallas. This would be very ordinary news except for the fact that Sister Olga was extremely ill a short time ago, and Sister Bartek is not long out of the hospital. Good health to both of them. Other members reported ailing were Sister Sophia Newton and Sister Louise Fort. No details were given. However, Brother Arthur Gillis was reported doing well after surgery on an old knee problem, and Sister Elizabeth Miller had eye surgery, recently.

The wives of Brothers Richard Cole and Calvin Spindor were more fortunate. On their return from the hospital they brought home a baby girl and boy, respectively. A note has been sent to Brother and Sister Lonnie Burkholder who were getting settled back in their home after evacuating it because of the recent hurricane that hit Enterprise, Alabama, thus alleviating the concern of her parents, Brother Robert and Sister Minnie Ruzicka.

As most of you perhaps know, our Vestnik editor, Brother Rudy Sefcik, has been ill and we sincerely hope that by the time this goes to print, he will be back at work hale and hearty.

Young Brother Paul Kercho, our youth club member was cited at the meeting, for the honor bestowed on him as Outstanding Carrier for the Mid-Cities News. Good work, Paul!

After Sunday's session a keg of beer, that had been tapped earlier, was finished off. It was donated

by Brother Al Kercho and Kenneth Krivanek who celebrated birthdays this month. Along with help from their wives, who served a supper of delicious' hamburgers, beans and the trimmings.

Among the upcoming dances is the annual Harvest Dance sponsored by St. George Church. It's always a great success, so plan to attend and enjoy it. Please do remember that our next regular monthly lodge meeting is Sunday, November 9th, at 2 p.m. and the Ladies' Circle meeting is Thursday, November 13th, at 10 a.m. Always remember the second Sunday and the second Thursday of each mon-

th See ya!

VESTNIK LODGE NO. 3, HOUSTON Dear Brothers and Sisters, The biggest thing coming up at Lodge 88 in the next few weeks is Czech Day. We are really going all out this year in our celebration.

There will be' (hopefully) a few city officials present and there will be cameramen filming the people and activities which will go in the annals of the lodge. This is also the time of the year when we honor the members who have served long and well and that is really one od the best and main reasons for Czech Day. But it is mainly to remember and honor our Czech forefathers. Turkey dinner and all the trimmings will be served beginning at 11 a.m. at $2 a plate for adults and $1.25 for children. Ladies, please bring some desserts for the lunch. We need your cooperation in the donations. Besides it gives everyone a chance to rave about this one's pie or this one's cake. I think Lodge has some of the best dessert cooks in Houston. The Lodge 88 Orchestra will begin playing at 1:15 and t,he honoree program will begin at 2. The Choral Group and the Reseda dancers will be on hand for your entertainment and the true and poignant film "Seven Days to Remember," will be shown. Also, a grand march will be held for all those in Czech costume, so please be sure and wear your costume that day. Lee Rey Matocha will be playing for the free dance following the program.

Please be sure and attend Czech Day at Lodge 88 on Sunday, October 26th and help us celebrate our special day. It will really be special if you are there.

Tillie Helmcaanp is on our sick list this week with an injured foot.

We hope she's up and around real soon. We had one of our very young members to pass away this past week. Gary Rudder was only 19 and I'm sure his family and friends miss him very much. It is very tragic to lose one so young. His life was really just beginning but please be comforted in the thought that he is only resting. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to his family.

It's getting close to Halloween!

Do you know how I know? The youth are having a masquerade party on Friday night, October 24, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the lodge. You must come in costume

Wednesday, October 22,, 1975 and it is for the juniors and intermediates only. I also have another hint. The department stores are putting up their Christmas decorations!

Speaking of Christmas -- in October? — the annual Blue Room Christmas party is already in the final planning stages and tickets are on sale for $5 a person. Inquire at the lodge office or the Blue Room itself. Also the Blue Room is accepting gift donations for the door prizes if anyone cares to donate something. I'm sure that anything that you give Would be greatly appreciated.

Gaylen Ackley and the Good Times will be playing for a special Friday night Country - Western dance on October 24th, and The Blumes will be playing the next night, the 25th, and the dreso will be semi-formal.

All fooling aside, Christmas is coming soon, but we shouldn't wait until Christmastime to show our good will, benevolence and humanity. Make it Christmas all year around, won't you, please?

Fraternally, Susan Schenburn SPJST —

Wednesday, October 22, 1975 CZECH DAY AT LODGE NO, 88, HOUSTON Dear Members, The day everybody is talking about is this Sunday— Our annual Czech Day at Lodge 88! Many plans have been made for this day, and it is sure to be the greatest Czech Day we have ever had.

The day starts with a turkey dinner served from 11:30 on; the lodge turkey dinners are always excellent! There will be Ozech pastries — especially kolache. Then you can enjoy the good music of Lodge 88's Concert Orchestra, which will start playing at 1:15 p.m.

The program honoring dedicated members of our lodge will begin at 2 p.m. A brief message will be given by University of Houston Professor T. Halama. Other high lights of this program will be the beautiful Czech songs sung by our famous Choral Club and the performance of our Beseda Dancers.

No admission will be charged to any of this!

You will have the chance to see (free) the great movie, "Seven Days to Remember," sponsored by our Birthday Club and narrated capably by Robert Eubank. This fifty-minute movie shows the first seven days of the Russian occupation of Czechoslovakia; you will see the bravery of the Czech people facing the invasion of 500,000 soldiers with great tanks and other equipment.

Then to complete a perfect day there will be a free dance with the ever-popular Lee Roy Matocha furnishing good mixed music!

There will be a parade of Czech costumes and TV stations will be there televising it for you to see on television later. We hope you will wear your Czech costume if you have one. The first actual shooting of the Czech documentary film of the lodge activities will also take place; so come and be a part of this historical event which will be filmed in color and sound.

President Louis Harms and the members of Lodge 88 invite you, your family and, your friends to join us this Sunday in our Czech Day Celebration. Come and enjoy a lovely day with us!

Fraternally yours, Tillie Helmcamp

We started rehearsing some of our old favorites as well as some new songs and had a very nice evening. We would like for all the members to turn out for the next rehearsal so we can start rehearsing our Christmas songs; you know Christmas is just around the corner. After rehearsal we had a short business meeting.

After reading and accepting the minutes of our last meeting a poll was taken on how many would go on a bus to the Dime Box dedication of the new lodge home for Lodge 13 and many who wanted to leave earlier or stay late preferred to go in their cars so the bus idea was given up and we will go in our cars so that those who want to stay late or leave early can do so. The possibility of getting a new costume for the choral club was discussed, however, no definite decision was made and this will be completed at our next rehearsal. This would make our choral club more outstanding when we make public appearances, so let's all be present at the next rehearsal which will be on October 28th at the regular time Singingly yours, Otto Hanus, Reporter

SPJSTLODGE NO. 84, CHORAL GROUP

Dear Vestnik Readers: Our most recent choral group rehearsal was held on Tuesday, October 7th. We are trying something new — having rehearsals at my house. For most members it is more convenient, the accoustics are better and it sure is nice for me not to have to lug that accordion around! Assistant director Bob Liska brought words and music to Czech Christmas carols to our last rehearsal and we started practicing for the Christmas season.

Many members commented that they had sung these songs as children and it sure was good to sing them again.

During our "five minute" break we enjoyed delicious goodies provided by Albina Hucek and our newest member, Millie Bartek.

(Welcome to our group, Mrs. Bartek! It is nice to have you with us).

Drinks were provided by Joe Vlk. (My heart goes out to all of you who missed our previous rehearsal on September 23rd. Hank Sadecky snitched a bottle of Mrs. Sadecky's home-made wine. Wow! These five minute breaks get better all the time!)

Our October practice was scheduled for the 21st. Who knows what

11 we had for our break this time!

Please keep in mind Brother Oldrich Horak who lost his brother recently. Our thoughts are with you, Brother Oldrich.

We are currently looking for white elephants — no, not the kind you dance with in the circus, but the kind we can sell at our booth at the Lodge 84 bazaar in November. Please keep us in mind if you can find anything around your house that resembles a white elephant.

We hope that Czech Day at the State Fair was an enjoyable one for you this year. Somehow, being around all that good music and food can't help but lift your spirits! Our group decided not to participate at the fair this year, but to just attend and enjoy the other choral groups that were participating. And an enjoyable day it certainly was!

See you later.

Dear Members: At our October ' lodge meeting it was passed that the starting time of our meetings in the future will be 2 p.m., instead of 2:30 in the afternoon, as previously.

Therefore, our monthly meeting for November will be held on the 2nd, beginning at 2 p.m.

The next two meetings of this lodge for this year will be very important due to the election of qualified delegates to the convention, election of officers to serve for the ensuing year and the discussion of the by-laws of any changes that may come up.

We are therefore urging that as many members as possible attend these meetings to give your ideas and views as to how you wish to have your lodge work in the coining year.

Let's all try to be present for the next meeting.

Sokol Houston is again privileged to sponsor, on October 23rd, at 7:30 p.m., another evening of the beautiful English-spoken films dealing with the Czech, Moravian, Silesian and Slovakian cultures in arts, folklore, architecture, history and performing arts. These all-English films in color are the project of the Concert Choral Society's cultural activity as a Czech Fine Arts presentation. The admission again is free and refreshments will be served. Sister Birdie Hilsher is the chairman of this Sokol event, which as every other Sokol Houston activity is presented for all of our Czech and non-Czech members, their friends and all fraternal brothers and sisters of every society and lodge in the spirit of benevolence, humanity, and brotherhood. UNITY, the ideal established in the Sokol national movement more than a century ago, is also so very important today and every day, for only in unity, our CzechAmerican culture will find its strength, progress and indivisible destiny.

As a singer, I would also like to call the attention of all interested in choral arts and in the great treasury of the Czech choral arts and folklore to take advantage of a unique opportunity of learning that is available to all in the rehearsals of the Concert Choral Society, under the artistic leadership of our eminent conductor Brother John J. Pech.

When I joined the society's membership ranks a year and onehalf ago, I was a total beginner in singing. Today, even though I am still learning, in fact every singer is continuously learning musical theory and singing arts as a rehearsal's recreational activity, this weekly artistic study has enriched my life and my appreciation of the beautiful folklore and classical music, the same as it does for every other singer and will do so for you.

You and your friends are invited to join in this rewarding recreational weekly activity hi the performing choral arts. Rehearsals begin at 7:30 p.m. every Tuesday at Sokol Houston auditorium, 1314 West Patton.

Today, October 11th, a threeprong parade was held in Houston, opening the City's Bicentennial

celebration held in Hermann Park and adjourning areas. Our Sokol gymnasts again marched in the parade and were greeted with enthusiastic applause especially when our children started doing their cart-wheels.

Sister Hilsher will report on the Czech-American appearance in the October 12th Main Street Arts '75 Bicentennial festival where the colorful Czech Folklore Dance Ensemble of the Czech Fine Arts, the Czech Beseda Youth Dancers of Lodge 88, and the young gymnasts of our Sokol Houston performed.

Don't forget the Sokol Houston Film Event, Octobtr 23rd, 7:30 p.m. -- everybody is invited; everything is free; bring your friends.

Sister Birdie Hilsher also announced that an evening of films will be presented in Crosby, on Monday, October 27th, at 7:30 p.m.

Brother Jerry Prochazka, president of District V SPJST, is in charge.

15 YOUNT-SULAK WEDDING HELD ' AT ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH

MR. AND MRS. CRAIG SULAK Northwest territory was tamed with the slogan "Fifty-four-forty or fight." John F. Kennedy urged Americans into a new attitude toward citizenship when he called upon all Americans to "Ask not what your country can do for you.

Ask what you can do for your country."

Since 1897 the leaders of the SPJST have been doing for their country. They have managed to create in the midst of a material and self-centered world a powerful successful organization devoted to the simple but more worth-while things of life and dedicated to the service of man.

There are people in this country who have no real sense of citizenship. They ask only what the country can do for them. These are the people who sit around and wait for their ship to come in, failing to realize their ship was never sent

out. They have also failed to join the SPJST. The person who joins our lodge sends out his ship. A member who lives up to the purposes of our lodge will always try to perform some worthy and useful service. The person who joins our lodge is providing for himself an opportunity for a more abundant life in his community. Work in our lodge makes possible a better understanding not only between members of a community, but throughout the world. In the SPJST feelings toward citizenship run high.

If I earnestly endeavor to apply the principles I have learned through my work in our lodge I can expect my ship to come in. My membership in the SPJST will help prepare me for the future and help me be a better head of my family, a better businessman, and a better citizen of America.

A program honoring "Miss Rosa," as she is still called by some of her former students, will begin at 2 p.m. with Mrs. Shirley Shenkir Patterson, a former student, in charge.

Mrs. Schneider, who is now enjoying readhig, gardening and cooking for her huSband, vividly remembers that at the time she began teaching, 41 years ago, there were no gravel roads and the winters were bad. Many times her husband had to hitch a team of horses to a buggy and take her to school and then return for her after school hours. She fondly says "I could never have made it without the help of my wonderful husband, Ed." Mr. and Mrs. Schneider reside in the Seaton community where he is engaged in farming. They are members of SPJST Lodge No. 47, Seaton.

MORE STATE WINNERS Dear Members: There have been some requests for us to list the top youth clubs and the top youth who won plaques at the State YAD. Though this information has not been published before, I think these people deserve the recognition because it takes lots of hours and hard work to earn the points. The first place winners were listed in the September 24th edition of the Vestnik and pictures were in the October 8th edition.

Our Halloween party will be on October 30th. We will have a costume party and also hold an initiation for five new members — Tony, Philip, John, Lisa, and Mary McNicholl. Welcome to our club!

Recently, the SP.TST youth club decorated a float for the first Washington County Fair Parade.

Our theine was, "Happy Birthday, America." Uncle Sam held a banner with the theme inscribed on it, while other youth portrayed all the different countries that make up America. I must say we had quite a colorful float. The enthusiasm was just great!

I want to thank Mrs. Bednar and Mrs. Hrachovy for the help they gave me to put this project together. It was a barrel of fun.

Congratulations to Dime Box for their new lodge building.

Fraternally, Dolores Kocurek, (10-11-75) Youth Leader ---S PJ STLODGE NO. 177, ACADEMY Dear Members: Our October meeting was great with very fine cooperation. We had twenty-six members present,

one of which was a new member, Paula Heller. We are very glad to have Paula as one of our members and I hope she will attend many meetings and have fun with us.

We had a very good discussion on some money-making projects. It was decided that some of the 'members would bring cookies, and cakes, and the teen-age girls and boys are making popcorn balls to sell. If any of you fine folks come to Academy to the dances, be sure and look around the kitchen and see what the youth club is selling. All proceeds will go to the youth club.

On October 29th, at 6:30 p.m., we are having a hayride. This is for youth club members only and if all attend we will have many.

So come and have a good time.

There will be adults going and after the hayride, we will go to the Dragstrip for a wiener roast and sodas. Please be on time so we can leave on the ride and get back early.

At the meeting we also discussed craft. The older youth members want to do liquid embroidery. The youth club will furnish the liquid embroidery, but you will have to get whatever type of material you wish to work with, such as a shirt,

Wednesday, Octeber 22, 1975 scarf, etc.

The small youth members are going to cut bottles and paint them.

Some of these youngsters have been collecting bottles but if you have a bottle you would like to cut, you may bring it. We will not start on any crafts until the December meeting. This will give you plenty of time to get your materials.

See you at the November meeting. I hope all of you attend and let's keep the Lodge 177 Youth Club on the move. I am very proud of each and every ones of our club members. They are a great group of people to be associated with and I am proud to be a part of this group.

Lepil se Marlane na odev a tvotil stale silnejki vrstvu. Jen steel videla, kam ma vest' kone. Bylo if velmi zima.

Ale jeji bkvalk dutch se nevratil ripine. Bylo cosi nevyhladitelneho — neurdiOho, houtevnateho, nevyzpytatelnett° — co pocitila vtdy, kdykoli se Nophaie na ni usmal.

Ale Mariana necitia se dosud zcela volnou. Hluboce zakotenenk cit, podivnejki net laska, stale yezel v srdci.

Nophaie odejel do Oljata, a kdyt se ani nasledujiclho dne nevracel, ono neznamd, co nebylo myklenkou ani citem, sahlo studenou rudou po Mariane duki.

Onoho dne pracovala na Wither sovkch itetech; psala nektere dlou ho opomijene dopisy; zantestriavala se asi hodino svkm smutne protidlkm a obnokenkm katstvem; vyjela si na koni ke skalnatemu htbetu nad Kaidabem a namahala svrij zrak na icestu k Oljatu.
