ROM THE EDIAR'S DESK Sunday, February 22nd a District H Sales Representatives' banquet was held at Lodge 80 in Holland.

DSR Lad Zatopek invited several guests: SL officers and editor, including their spouses.

The evening commenced with a social and getting acquainted with the new fraternal fellow workers and reminiscing with old acquaintances who helped achieve the tremendous amount of insurance sales in 1975, who sold over $5,000,000plus of insurance to over 1,100 members in our Society. It was in order for the productive sales representatives of District II to have a legitimate reason to be jovial over their accomplishments. The amount of sales in this district equal one-third of the total sold by our entire Society. In fact District II went all out last year and certainly did their share in the fraternal work field.

Several pictures of the appreciation dinner appear in this issue -pages :6 and 7 — and Brother Lad Zatopek and his wife Maryann are to be complimented for being gracious hosts to the large group.

Quickly, the hosts called the assembly to order and it was time to enjoy the menu and the official business was made brief with a few remarks by District II Director Henry Vitek, who spoke for the Supreme Lodge and all concerned.

Brother Zatopek expressed his

SIX COMMON MISTAKES OF MAN 1) The delusion that personal gain is made by crushing others.

2) The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.

3) Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it.

4) Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.

5) Neglecting development and refinement of the mind, and not acquiring the habit of reading and study.

6) Attempting to compel others to believe and five as we do. appreciation and gratitude to all sales representatives and asked ev eryone individually to be introduced.

The highlights of the evening — the presentation of awards -came when SFM Silas Smith was called upon to take charge of the proceedings. Brother Smith conveyed greetings to the assembly from SL Vice President Joe B. Hejny and Sister Stasie Hejny, who were unable to be present.

Brother Smith extended his congratulations to all the sales representatives and then presented the awards and special plaques to the recipients.

Following the award presentations everyone enjoyed the frater-

nal banter among those in attendance. The remainder of the evening consisted of singing, dancing and listening to the fine music on the organ played by Brother Helmer Dahl.

It was gratifying to be among the fellow members at Lodge 80 in Holland and the festivities were well organized. The hosting lodge also deserves our compliments on their recently remodeled lodge home, which enhanced the gathering's atmosphere. It was indeed a pleasure to be a part of the gettogether.

May District II prosper in the Bicentennial year for another productive and historic record. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU! * * While attending the banquet, the realization came, to mind that some of our members were concerned about certain affairs and wished to discuss them with yours truly, and this was done rather briefly.

A few members who were present felt that understanding was lacking and our SPJST should be bolstered by harmony and friendly attitudes in all of our aspects of the fraternal field. They all were assured of your editor's support in that endeavor. Of course, this harmonious attitude must come from the leadership and your editor can only help it along. After all is said, we must fall back to the statement

Deadline for material to be accepted for the following issue is Thursday.

Wednesday, March 3, 1976 made in the Supreme Lodge comments section prior to the 1972 convention: "The editor's position is not a policy-making one and there is no reason why he should not be appointed by the Supreme Lodge body . . . etc." Therefore, your editor listens to all the pros and cons and does his best to fraternally help in the discussions directed to him; that is his goal in life in this fraternal field of ours.

Here is a thought: Disagreements in our local lodges are, of course, to be understood as a part of the democratic prOcess, however, these things should not be helped along by certain individuals in our Society who evidently do not know the true factual circumstances involved.

These lines are written in a true spirit of fraternal feeling and endeavor with the understanding that each individual who looks at all angles of lodge work rationally, from a true and realistic point of view, has individual ideas which will, quite naturally, differ from those of another person. In lodge affairs (especially fraternal), all members must be very understanding and appreciative of each others points of view about different lodge matters. Today's center front page contains "Six Common Mistakes of Man," which definitely fit into everyone's life and our lodge work. Read them over and think about them. Much in life depends on our personality and good common sense. The wellknown saying that "knowledge and education are 10% of life and 90% is having good common sense" still holds true today,

I know this makes it hard for some of you to remember, so I have listed below the meeting dates and functions planned through May. Please cut this out and keep it where it can be seen.

March 13 — Bake sale, Galvez Mall, 10 a.m. till 6 p.m.

This is a large festival and our lodge goes all-out to show and be proud of our Czech heritage.

We hope that our members, friends and neighboring lodges will make plans to attend this festival. There will be plenty of entertainment and food to eat so let's try to make this a great year and festival.

Now is the time to make that costume for the Oleander Festival.

They are very simple to make and consist of a full skirt a vest and a, full sleeve blouse for the ladies.

For the men, a black pair of pants, a white shirt and a, vest, preferably red with a bow tie and hat.

If you do not sew, you may contact Henrietta Fee at 744-8470, she will be glad to make it for you at a minimum cost if given sufficient time. You do not have to wear one but it would be nice if we could all dress in Czech costumes and be proud of our Czech heritage.

Pastry will be needed for these bake sales and Oleander Festival.

Please keep this in mind and plan accordingly.

Later dates for June through December will be announced at

VESTNIK one of our meetings. I hope these dates will be of some help to you.

- S PJ S1 --LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Brothers and Sisters, The time is drawing nearer for the presentation of the Czech play "Dve Svatby" ("Two Weddings").

Doris Knapic'k is recovering from a bout with the flu. Hope everyone stays healthy and happy this week, and for weeks to come, for that matter.

Steve and Estelle Kelly recently celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary and there was a very nice reception given in their honor by their son Charles, and his pretty wife, Betty. The food was fantastic and the music was beautiful, being provided by Henry Tannenberger and his orchestra.

Estelle usually plays the piano with the group, but you can bet she wasn't playing the piano that day.

Another nice touch was that the couples who were in the Kelly wedding party were at the door with Steve and Estelle to greet the guests. I wish them many more happy years together.

For the Saturday, February '7th Blumes dance, Leslie and Mary Blume celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary; Gladys Hagan, Dorothy Klecka, Gilds, Lane, Kenneth Caulking, David and Debbie Kotzebue, Frank Cangemi, and our own loveable Amos Kadlecek, celebrated their birthdays.

FOURTH TERM REPORT OF ALVIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE Dear Czech Friends: Alvin Community College Czech class is entering its sixth week of study during its fourth term. We have made progress in spite of the great divergence in background of students, ability, and age of participants. We mmt consider a division into beginners and advanced students for the coming year.

Nevertheless, our enrollment has held to a basic 24. This class meets each Tuesday, 7-9 p.m., for a term of ten weeks. The class is composed of members from ten years of age to an average age of about 40-45. Interest in class is supported by a desire to learn more about our Slavic ancestors, their activities, culture, and heritage. The study of proverbs, expressions and basic national philosophy spurs the class to continued study.

As all classes of Czech in this category discover, there exist difficulties in time of day of study, daily practice of words and phrases, and feeling satisfaction of accomplishment. One cannot expect to arrive at proficiency in a short period of time or not even accepting the fact that study is difficult. With a continual application throughout the week, and a

Wednesday, March 3, 1976 ATTENTION: DISTRICT II Attention, all youth leaders and parents. We have a revised forecast about the cake auction at our spring district meeting. There will be a cake auction at break time, but each club will be permitted to auction only 2 cakes per youth club.

You will still be permitted to have a bake sale during the break, so you can bring as many cakes for the bake sale as you wish.

Complete details and order of meeting to be published later. * * DISTRICT II SKATING PARTY Dear Readers, On February 15, a skating party was held for the youth of District II and the attendance was very good. We had 120 skaters and about 30 spectators, which included many youth leaders and assistants, parents and even a few sick children who came only to watch. The youth did enjoy skating and many were looking forward to seeing their friends from other lodges.

The weather was warm and fair so it made it nice for those who had to drive a long way. Thanks to all youth leaders, assistants, and parents for bringing the youth and to everyone for coming and taking time to bring these children.

Our next district get-together will be our spring District II meeting which will be held March 28 at Lodge 47, Seaton. Each youth club must have their poster ready by that meeting date because our posters will be judged at that time and the three top posters from each district will be taken to the convention for state competition.

We will also have our district competition for the Miss SPJST Contest at this meeting. Each youth leader is to inform their contestant that they must submit their entry autobiography sheet to me before March 13, 1378. This autobiography should be accompanied by a recent photo of the contestant.

The complete rules for the Miss SPJST contest have been published In the Vestnik for the last several weeks so look them up and let's see if each lodge in the district can have an entry in this contest. Details as to time of completion will be published later. ers, you still have time to send your application to attend the Longhorn Recreational Lab#

ITEMS OF INTEREST BOOKLET FEATURES LAWN, ORNAMENTAL PESTS

The spring season will soon be here and homeowners and gardeners will again be waging war on a host of insect pests. A publication by the Texas Agricultural Eldension Service can help in this battle.

Titled "Insects and Related Pests Attacking Lawns and Ornamental Plants," the publication offers a full description of the different pests that feed on flowers, shrubs, trees and lawns in Texas.

"Each insect is described in de-

VbSTN/K tail along with the type of damage it does, points out Dr. John Thomas, entomologist for the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. "The insects are also categorized as either chewing or sucking types so as to identify the damage they inflict to plants."

The publication features color pictures of many of the insect pests that attack lawns and ornamental plants along with pictures showing some of the damage they do.

"Successful control of these insects depends on recognizing them and the type of damage they do and then taking the proper control measures," notes the Texas A&M University System entomologist.

In addition to chemical controls, certain cultural and management practices are also important in 'avoiding or reducing insect darn., age to plants, points out Thomas.

These include fertilizing and watering, properly selecting adapted plant varieties that are healthy, vigorous and insect resistant, if available, and avoiding machanical injury to plants.

The entomologist encourages homeowners and gardeners to obtain a copy of B-1078, "Insects and Related Pests Attacking Lawns and Ornamental Plants," to get prepared for the spring season ahead. The publication is available, for 50 cents a copy from the Department of Agricultural Communications, Texas A&M. University, College Station, Texas 77843.

Payment should be made with the order.

The words "odpust`te" and "prominte" mean practically the same.

The informal address would be "promin" and "odpust"' to be used only with those persons with whom you are on a "thou" basis. The "thou" and "you" basis sounds archaic in English, but there is an important , difference in the relation between persons whom we address "thou" — in Czech "ty" — (the verb "tykati si", and persons we address "you" -- in Czech "vy" — and, therefore, the verb describing the relation is "vykati si."

The English "I am sorry" in Czech means "Je mi lito". The Czech phrase is used in the same sense as the original meaning of "I am sorry", but generally, we can say that "Je nti Tito" is used much more sparingly than "I am sorry" The latter can often be trans lated "odpust`te" or "prominte.

Jak se y am (ti) Dekuji, dobre — Fine, thank you.

Sometimes it is as "dekuju." Dekuji is more "Jak se mate" or "jak se má g " or proper and is more often used. Plu- "jak se vam (ti) daii", is not quite ral is "dekujeme." It is not neces- as common a greeting as in Engsary to add and equivalent of 'you', lish. In Czech you ask it when you but is could be done and it is often want to know how your friend is done. Then, it is "dekuji ti" when doing and not instead of "good we are close to the person addres- morning". In other words, in anssed, or "dekuji Vim" if the relation wer to "jak se ma;" in Czech, you to the person addressed is more may hear a little longer story than formal. the stereotype "fine, thank you."

The most common reply to the The European people do not share word "dekuji" is the word "pro- the American optimistic out-look sim".
