FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK District III YAD -- The SPJST active youth club members who maintained a majority attendance of their club meetings, other activities and are in good standing in their respective lodges were eligible to compete at the District III Level — Youth Achievement Day -- held recently at Lodge Linden Hall in Elm Mott.

Over 200 entries were registered by youngsters from Dallas, Elk, Ennis, Longview, Waco, and West, in ages ranging from 6 through 1'7 years in arts and crafts, individual and group talent, including a performance of the Beseda by a jun ior group.

District III has been known to hold the largest YADs since the inception of these events In participation and attendance. Every year it increases regardless !of where it is held by a host lodge, also the enthusiasm and spirit of its youth leaders, assistants, parents, plus other interested parties carries on regardless of whether they win or lose.

Cottonwood Lodge No. 6 Youth Club members captured the district's highest awards including several in arts and crafts and talent. We commend them as well as their leaders for their many achievements.

With the large amount of entries in District III, this district is the only one that holds another date for its district royalty which

WELL, DID YOU? Did you help to pour the coffee, Or get the chairs in place?

Or if a member seemed to have, An unfamiliar face, Did you try to make him feel at ease, And did you clasp his hand?

Or did you just ignore him, And let him forlornly stand?

Did you volunteer committee work, Or weren't you even there?

Did you try to help to pull the load, Or did you duck your share?

Or were you in absentia, Ensconced upon the shelf?

We have no right to ask you, So why not ask yourself! is set for July 31st at Lodge No. 25, Ennis. We hope many of you plan to attend and support each candidate for queen or king from your lodge.

The overall entire day's participation was one of true fraternalism; each one of you helped a youngster achieve something worthwhile for a long period. In fact, to some of you one year may seem a long time, but, when looking from the perspective angle of it time passes by rapidly.

Now the first place winners will have another step to look forward to and challenge members in their category from 6 other districts at State Youth Achievement Day, Sunday, September 25, at Temple

High School, and, the day before, State Royalty is scheduled for Saturday, September 24th, at Lodge 18, in Elgin.

Lodge 86 members who hosted District III YAD are to be commended for their endeavor and responsibility in carrying out the load of a large task such as the day that was witnessed by a very good attendance. The members were very gracious hosts to the YAD. * * July 4th, 1977 will be history when you read these lines. We sincerely hope tnat this finds you in good, if not better, health than before. The NSC predicted that several hundred people would meet their death on. this 4th of July weekend. Let us hope that they are wrong. Indeed, it seems to be as Will Rogers used to say: "We kill more Americans celebrating our independence on July 4th, than we lost in winning it!" We would much rather have our Vestnik in possession of a reader than a statistic. * * Sunday, June 19th, in the aftermxm, your editor traveled to Waco to the St. Joseph's recreation building to visit with a 75year-old visitor from Czechoslovakia, Mr. Rajmund Polansky. He bas 8 nieces: Martha, Lillian, Lucille, Helen, Eleanore, Evelyn, Anna Marie and Jo Ann, and 3 nephews: Raymond, Walter and Sam,

in California and Texas. Some of them and their spouses had a reception for him at the Parish hall.

He arrived in San Francisco, May 24 and in Dallas June 5, and visited Dallas, Waco, and West in the two weeks he spent in Texas.

He lives in Frenstat nad Radhostem in Moravia, where living conditions in his city are not difficult, he said He was fascinated by the great distances in Texas and the size of our state and country. He said he was enjoying his stay here. Some of his nieces paid his round-trip fare here so he could visit his kin whom he had never seen.

Time went by too fast, however, we did have an interesting hour's visit with him. He is a very friendly person, a Catholic, and attends church any time he wishes and is satisfied with his retirement.

He enjoyed meeting his relatives and had only one problem while here — the heat. He said the climate is much cooler * in Frenstat. *

Greetings were received at the editor's office from District II Director Henry Vitek and his wife of Granger who are among the group of 81 people enjoying the fabulous sightseeing tour at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto.

LODGE NO. 74, LOVELADY Dear Members and Friends: I am proud of the Grounds Committee composed of Brother George and Sister Edith Charanza and Brother James McCullough who have done a great job seeing to it that our lodge premises are looking good.

Houston County Lions Club had their installation of officers at our SPJST Lodge 74. We were happy to have them. The Lions Club is one of the finest civic organizations throughout the world. Brother Billy Bobalik cooked the barbecue, for the Lions and he did a great job.

It appeared that everyone seemed to be pleased with the meal. It was well-planned and we also had a group of SPJST ladies who volunteered to furnish salads, pies and cakes. Thanks to all who are doing so much for such a good cause. I always believed that giving is rewarding!

We are having good attendance for the games every Thursday night, and the youth really enjoy skating. All in all, we have many members and friends who

enjoy our Lodge 74, so keep telling others about it; they will be glad to be invited to enjoy good fellowship with us.

In addition we wish to thank Brother Ghillie Hodges and Brother Jack Parrish for the fine job they are doing in the maintenance department of the lodge and our Brother Ralph Smith who is in charge of the book work that is so very important in the refreshment department.

Overseeing the lodge business is a great responsibility, and all of us members should help in any way possible to see that everything concerning our lodge is in order.

We appreciate all of you who are doing so much for the lodge.

Fraternally, Cathy Howlett Reporter SPJST --

LODGE NO 172, PASADENA Dear Members and Friends: Lodge 172 held their regular June meeting as scheduled. All officers, except the vice president, were present.

Correspondence was read and reports were given by all committees. Later there was a short discussion about our auditing system.

One new certificate was voted on it was reported that our airconditioning is just about completely repaired and ready for the summer to keep us cool. This just about sums up the proceedings of our meeting.

By the time this is published, it will almost be time for our July meeting. Hope to see all of you there. It is on the second Wednesday of the month -- July 13th.

Wednesday, July 6, 1977 At present I do not recall anyone being on the sick list. I hope all of you are doing well. Sister Lionise WiIlia, we are anxiously waiting and hoping you can soon be writing our newsletter again.

The Czech student sponsored covered dish supper on June 10th was a great success and enjoyed very much by those present. The food was delicious. The program was fine. Many thanks to all of you who were responsible for it, especially Brother John Pech for his part and Brother Emil Europato for WS time to come with the projector and operate the films for us; and Sister Birdie Hilsher for her part, including Dr. Spencer, president of San Jacinto College for his encouraging speech.

It is up to us now. The college is willing to do all they, can and we are so lucky to be so welcomed by the college.

Let's don't forget to continue to advertise the Czech course at San Jacinto College in September. The older I get the more I realize how nice it has been to be able to speak another language. I made a big mistake by not teaching my daughters to speak Czech, They are wishing they could speak it but, like so many others, when they were little I didn't seem to have the time and when they got bigger they didn't seem to have the time. Both the girls studied other languages in high school and college. I hope they will still find time to study the Czech language, especially since we are of a Czech background. People of other nations often take Czech courses and get along real well.

Now back to SPJST. I must say we are working and enjoying every bit of it. June 11th we danced to the music of Harry Czaxnek and his Texas Dutchmen; they are great!

Our newly-wed couple was honored by a grand march led by Mr. and Mrs. Bezdek. Sister Ruth Keele married Frank Waneck. Congratulations and best wishes, Ruth and Frank!

On June 25th we had Harry

Griffith and The Other Country.

Some people mentioned they didn't know if they were going to like O-W music, but this band was something else. I believe everyone liked them and wanted them again. It was a fun night_ There

5 were so many groups that celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, or just plain celebrated, because they had out-of-town guests. All of you were a great crowd and hope you come back for our July 9th dance with the Knights of Dixie playing.

Sister Edna (Voldan) Baker, our entertainment chairperson, is doing a good job. We appreciate you more than you know.

Members, this is your lodge and I must say you are doing a good job of supporting it. A good job can become even better.

Fraternally, Vlasta Macimnn Secretary SPJST

LODGE NO 51, ELLINGER

Dear Members, Due to several reasons, our June quarterly meeting has been postponed until July 20th. We will meet as usual at the Effinger Fire Department building at 7 p.m.

Perhaps it skipped your mind, so let me remind you that the year 1977 is the year of our bi-annual lodge picnic. All our picnics are held in September, and in the later part of next month you will receive an invitation with all information.

Many of you"paid-up" members who have not as yet paid your local lodge dues, still have time to do so and thereby become an active member and be added to the mailing list of our invitations. I have explained before that ONLY those members who have their local dues paid are eligible for invitation to the lodge picnic. This is what the members decided and that is our rule! Why not send us the small amount of 60 cents for a year's payment. Juvenile members, (those under 16 years) do not pay loeal dues.

As an active member you will have the privilege to meet all the old-time members as well as all of the new members and their families. Especially this year, you will have the opportunity to meet many, many other friends, because it will be an all-day affair. We will start the day with a delicious dinner at noon, followed with a short meeting at 1 p.m., then we will spend a few hours in various games, visitation and chatting, and at night we will have a big

public dance in the air-conditioned Ellinger C of C hall. Music will be provided for us by the People's Choice of Austin.

Certainly you wouldn't want to miss all of this exciting activity, so when we send you our invitation card, be sure to fill it out as soon as possible and return the other portion so that we will be able to provide our caterer with information as to the number of people who will attend.

This is the first time in the history of Lodge 51 that we have sponsored a public dance, and we certainly want to extend our personal invitation to all of the members of our SPJST throughout the entire state to make plans to come to Effinger on September 18th for our first lodge-sponsored dance.

Dancing starts at 8 p.m. Betcha you will enjoy yourself!

Coming? — Yes — rine!

Fraternally yours, D. A. Juren Secretary SPJST

LODGE NO. 154, FORT WORTU

Dear Members and Friends: A reminder of our next regular monthly meeting July 10th, at 3 p.m.

Our Sokol gymnasts arrived home safely Monday night, weary and tired, and very excited over the Slet and an experience, they said, they will never forget. We congratulate you all for the fine job done.

The Prastna, by Brother and Sister Jerry Milan and Mary Jean Stoeppelman were given a standing ovation with teary eyes, and also the special number first place to Fort Worth, which was also composed by Sister Stoeppelman.

Congratulations!

Benny and I along with Brother and Sister Mac and Lillie McMillen of Lodge 92, spent several days with Brother and Sister John and Judy Sindel of Lodge 88, at their lake home which was enjoyed very much, We also went to LaMarque to visit Sister McMillen's aunts, Sister Frances Kaluza, and Brother and Sister Bob and Janie Cocek and families.

We are still in such need of rain, but seems like everyone is.

I hope to see you on the 10th of July. So until . .. Keep Smiling!

Fraternally, Sue Nailing English Reporter SPJST — LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON The schedule at Lodge 88 is a very busy one and sometimes it is hard 'to keep up with all the activities going on, Friday, June 24, we were entertained by Nick Navarro and his very fine and wellliked orchestra and the attendance is usually very good. Then Saturday, June 25, the Knights of Dixie drew a capacity crowd to our Chandelier Ballroom. They play mixed music and the guests have a ball. The committee was busy as bees getting everyone in their proper places. The box office was managed by Gladys Hagan and her husband Ray, with Gus Gerlich and John Vasula ushering the guest% while Ann Gerlich and Bessie Vasula were greeting the guests at the door. The six-member committee for that evening was kept on its toes until everyone was safely in their places.

At Table 8 Sister Annie Green was glowing like a roman candle and showing pictures, and no wonder, she was presented with a new grandson, Taylor Lee Krischke, an addition to Sister Green's son's family; David and his wife Pam Krlschke, David graduated from St. Thomas University and entered on a scholarship at SMU in Dallas, and now is on the staff as recruiting coach at Michigan State Congratulations to the proud parents, and especially, grandmother Annie Green.

At Table 7 the yHubers were at their regular place, but Gazela had her left arm bandaged up to the elbow. I know she wouldn't do that just for sympathy, so I just had to find out what happened, It was one of those freak accidents. While Gazela was canning some tomatoes, somehow the boiling pot of water tipped over and scalded her left arm, right up to the elbow.

Of course that was the end of the tomato canning, but those she did put up before the accident will be delicious, I'm sure. The bandaged arm did not interfere with her enjoying the music of the Knights of Dixie. ThEs e people are good sports, more power to

V1STNiK them!

At Tables 2, 3, 4 a group of about 40 members of the Merry-GoRound Dance Club had a great time. Brother Milton Franks and wife, Mary are members of this swinging group and come to our Chandelier Ballroom frequently for their socials. Milton and Mary have it cozy as they live right across the street from Lodge 88.

Nice to have you and bring your group again.

A beautiful June wedding of Kim Ellaine Jolley and Royal Bennie Warnasch (known as peanut to all his friends) were united Saturday, June 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the St. Phillip United Methodist Church with hundreds of friends to witness this union. The bride wore the traditional white bridal gown with a train trailing on the carpet as she walked with her father, Mr. Jack E. Jolley down the isle to the altar. The groom waiting at the altar wore a white tuxedo to match the 'bride's attire .

In attendance the 3 beautiful young ladies were dressed in blue gowns with picture hats and flowers to match, The groomsmen were dressed in blue tuxedos. The bride's mother wore an aqua gown and the groom's mother wore a yellow floral chiffon gown.

After the ceremony the reception was held in the church's reception hall. The newlyweds are honeymooning in Vaile, Colorado.

Sunday, June 25, a special affair took place at Lodge 88 A 40-year wedding anniversary was celebrated by our loyal members Joe and Della Miksch. The hundreds of guests attending this gala affair enjoyed the music by the Pavlas orchestra and the dancing went on from 4 to 9 p.m.; there was also a delicious dinner, catered by Willie Wehring. The "bride," Della, wore a very becoming blue chiffon gown, and naturally, Joe looked the part of a happy bridegroom of 40 years.

Brother Joe and Sister Della Miksch raised a family of two sons, Bobby and Jody. Bobby and wife, Kathy, have a daughter, Becky, age 12 and a son, Bobby, age 14.

The second son, Jody, is married to Betty. Joe and Della are very proud of their family and may they enjoy their blessings for a long time.

Brother Harry and Mickey Rice had two busy weeks; they had the pleasure of having their daughter,

Joanie, and her husband, Major Allen Davis and grandchildren Michael, 6, and Kristee, 8, to visit them from Denver, Colorado. It was especially a pleasure because they live so far and don't get to see the children and grandchildren often. Harry and Mickey have another daughter Connie, and a granddaughter, Cinamon, age 6.

Cinamon visits the lodge quite often with her grandparents; she lives here in town. They all are SPJST members.

Brother Frank and Emily Sebek were entertaining company for a couple of weeks. Ernilie's sister, Mrs Rose Mozelski, from Cleveland, Ohio, and a niece, Lora Batterston, age 12, from Colorado. I had the pleasure of meeting them at the lodge at one of the functions.

They 'both enjoyed their visit here in Texas but have to leave soon.

Frank and Emily are active in our Choral Club and the Hlahol Dramatic Club and they both love to dance.

The special dance for Saturday, July 16th, will feature the Tommy Dorsey orchestra. If you are planning to attend this dance you had better get your tickets just as soon as possible. Tickets are available at the lodge office. Saturday, July 23rd, we will have our Hawaiian dance. This is a regular annual affair and is very well liked and enjoyed. There will be prizes awarded for costumes. Come out and have fun.

Again, I wish to alert you about the famous convention recording.

You may place your order NOW, because we will have them on hand. The price locally is $450.

Don't hesitate, order NOW! Frances Grossman was in a very happy mood Sunday as that was the date she saw the light of day, June 25, and she was celebrating her birthday with friends and Norval her husband with a wide grin on his face. Frances is

LODGE NO. 185, NEW BRAUNFELS

Dear Members: The lodge meeting for the month of June was called to order Sunday, June 26th by Vice President Ernest Jasek at its new location, American Legion Post 179, corner of Coll and Academy Streets in New Braunfels.

Everyone present recited the pledge of allegiance.

There were no minutes read because our lodge secretary, Mrs. Beatrix Parker was vacationing in Germany. Sister Ernest Jasek was asked to take the minutes of the June meeting in Sister Parker's absence. Since Sister Jasek was unable to get the minutes of the previous meeting, she will try to get them for the July meeting.

Due to Brother Jae Slavik's health, he resigned his post as president to enable a replacement for a president. An election followed with Brother Ernest Jasek being duly elected and accepted as president of Lodge 185. An election of vice president also took place to fill Brother Jasek's place.

In his place Brother Daniel Mokry was elected and accepted as vice president. Let's help these brothers of the lodge because they will carry on the responsibilities with

the other local lodge officers. Congratulations!

The lodge was honored to have the following District VII officers as visitors at our recent meeting: Director Robert Bayer, Sales Representative Tillie Valchar, Youth Counselor Maxine Pavliska with her assistant, Polly Bayer.

A motion was made and seconded to schedule the date of October 23rd for our lodge's official chartering ceremonies. More information about this matter will be announced later.

Brother Gordon Hrabal, local lodge sales representative, asked to have someone to help organize the lodge because every telephone call he makes from Canyon Lake to New Braunfels, is long distance.

Any SPJST member interested in helping out may write or call Mrs. Tillie Valchar, District VII Sales Representative. Route 1, Box 55, Jourdanton 78026, phone 512784-3202.

During the meeting everyone seemed to be pleased with the new meeting location for the lodge, and all youth club members are looking forward to going to summer camp, August 7th through 11th at YWCA Camp Idlewild at Comfort.

Dear Members: July 24th is the lodge picnic and we expect a big crowd down there under the pecan trees on the Pokladnik farm.

You might want to tell the kids to start looking in the garage for their fishing gear, because fishing starts early for the contestants, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and judging will be for the biggest, most, and smallest fish caught during that time.

The trail through the pasture will be freshly mowed for the hayride so don't panic if the driver of the tractor suddenly stops (in the shade, of course) and tells the passengers on the haywagon that somewhere up the trail he made a wrong turn and cannot find the way back to the pavilion kvhere all the barbedue-on-bun, with the trimmings, beans, chips, plus cake, for $1 adult, 50.cents for a child, is waiting to be served.

Brother Raymond Prachyl usually does this at least once, so beware!

The Kitchen Committee will welcome any united cakes if you will bake one.

Our ball team members will be able to enjoy the activities planned for this day because the tournament usually played on this day has been scheduled for an earlier date. Boy, oh boy, this is great! Maybe the whole team and their families will be there.

More on the picnic will follow plus directions how to get there, so keep reading the Vestnik.

LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS SOFTBALL TEAM

Dear Readers: Wednesday night, June 22nd, we played Zip's Paint and we lost by a score of 6 to 2. We had to play without our regular shortstop and second baseman due to work and illness and we had two inexperienced players playing at these positions causing some confusion on the part of our infield, which contributed heavily to our loss.

Normally, I feel we could beat this team with all our regular players.

Ralph Stauss hurled the first 4 innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 walks, and had 4 strikeouts, and Roy Andrews, our lefty, hurled the last 3 innings allowing 1 hit, 2 walks and struck out 4 batters.

Offensively, our hitters included Jerry Zabojnik with 2 singles and a walk; Mark Winkler, 2 singles and a walk; Jeff Burton, a single; Robert Weyma.n, a single, and Harry Wilkerson, a single.

This leaves us with 5 wins and 4 losses in the City Major League standings.

Monday night, June 27th, we played Ozzies and we won, 16-8, in a marathon of a game. Going into the top of the 7th inning the score was 8 to 5 in their favor and things were looking glum for us; then we proceeded to score 11 runs before we were retired.

Larry Brennan led off in the inning with a walk, Don Jarma followed with a single, then Galen Lindsey doubled in 2 runs, Roy Andrews had a single driving in the tieing run, Jeff Burton hit a single, driving in the go-ahead run, Jerry Zabojnik pinch hit for Don Lennox and hit a double driving in another run, Lionel Schulz had a bunt single, Alan Lucien

made the first out, Robert Wey-

man drove in another run with a single, Larry Brennan made an out, Don Jarma hit a single, Galen Lindsey hit a single, driving in 2 more runs; Roy Andrews reached second on an error, Jeff Burton drove in a run on an error, and -Jerry Zabojnik hit a fly ball for the final out.

Boy, was this an exciting inning, probably a record for our team. In the bottom of the 7th inning, we got the side out without any more runs and thus cinching the win. Roy Andrews started on the mound hurling the first 3 innings allowing 4 hits, 4 walks, and had 1 strikeout. Lionel Schulz relieved and was the winning pitcher of record, allowing 6 hits, 4 walks and 5 strikeouts. Both of our pitchers were off form which contributed to our opponents 8 runs, however, our hitting won the game for us. This definitely cinched the League Championship in the Monday Night League with .9 wins and 1 loss with 2 more games remaining to be played.

We informed Brother Willie Ondrusek to get those steaks ready for our annual steak dinner. The guys didn't want any part of a "crow" banquet (meaning chicken).

Needless to say, we are all proud of our team's effort thus far this season Leading hitters were Roy Andrews with a home run, a triple and 2 singles; Galen Lindsey, a double and 3 singles; Don Jarma, a double and 2 singles; Jeff Burton, 2 singles and a sacrifice hit; Robert Weyman, a single; Connie Brennan, a walk; Jerry Zabojnik, a double; Lionel Schulz, a single and Alan Lucien with a single.

Tuesday night, June 28th we played Charlie's Team and we won by a score of 13 to 2, and the game was stopped after 5 innings by the 10-run rule. This was another sweet victory for our team.

Thus our Tuesday Night League record is now 6 wins and 5 losses leaving us in third place in the Combined City Major Leagues composed of 8 teams. With another win, we could possibly wind up in second place , Ralph Stauss was the winning pitcher, allovfing 4 hits, 1 walk and 1. strikeout in another outstanding performance on the mound.

Hitters were Robert Weyman:

VtSTNIK

12 with a triple and a single; Jerry Zabojnik with 2 singles and a walk; Donnie Lennox, 2 singles and a sacrifice hit; Don Jarma, a single and 2 walks; Mark Winkler, a single and a walk; Roy Andrews, a walk Galen Lindsey, a single; Jeff Burton, a single and walk, and Ralph Stauss with a single plus a sacrifice fly.

We had a very large turnout of fans at this game and also at the other games. Our deepest thanks for your support and your cheers.

Two more games remain to be played in our Monday Night League: July 4th and 11th, and Tuesday, July 5th. Some of these games will be in the past before this letter appears, however, I did want to mention that we were scheduled to play in the Dallas City Playoffs Championship, including a place in the State TAAF meet.

The weekend of July 8, 9 and 10, we will be playing in a tournament in Stephenville and the results will be given in the next report.

We wish Sister Malek many more years of peaceful retirement and residence in the rest home in Kansas, and we pay tribute to her on behalf of the officers and members of Lodge No. 50, the Supreme Lodge, and the entire membership.
