ONLY ONE SMALL WORD ..I am a small thing with a big meaning.

I help everybody and hurt no one. ..I unlock doors, open hearts, dispel prej udice. ..I create friendship and goodwill. ..I inspire respect and admiration. ..I bore nobody. ..I violate no law. ..I cast nothing. ..I am useful every moment of the day. ..I have paid by dividends all during depressions. ..And fraternalism continues improve. ..I will be your most valuable assistant. ..My name is COURTESY. ..Our editorial remarks in this issue will be rather brief because the staff in the printshop has been reduced substantially due to vacations, terminations, etc., however, we will try to give you an update of our progress in affairs of our Society. ** In the June 6th issue we mentioned that we had attended the CESAT meeting at SPJST Lodge No. 29, Taylor, Saturday, May 26th. In this issue we print a picture of those persons attending on the front page of our Vestnik; these were the people interested in the preservation of the third most-spoken language in Texas the Czech language - and in trying to encourage the use of it among our countrymen and our youth. ** Everyone of us knows that gasoline is not the cheapest item around at the present time and, so to make use of the gasoline in our car, we decided to stop at our S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home No. I in Taylor, after we left the meeting, and visited with the guests there, talked to them, and took some pictures of our senior citizens. They really enjoy a visit from anyone and I enjoyed the few words I could spend with them. We have pictures of them in this issue; you will recognize many of them, we

Wednesday, June 20, 1979 feel sure. Although our Supreme Lodge of our SPJST does not allow expenses for these trips, we feel they are beneficial to our Society and well paid for in the returns of goodwill gained in public relations ; or is everything supposed to be based on a dollar value in return for our efforts? ** .. Saturday, June 9th, we went to Ennis Lodge No. 135, the home of Sokol unit Karel Havlicek Borovsky and visited with the male gymnasts and pictures of them also appear in this issue.

These young people are to be commended for their efforts and perseverance in their attitudes toward physical fitness ; more power and encouragement to them! .. Sunday morning, June 10th it was off to Seymour, Texas to the District IV YAD and a nice day it was ! We will tell you more about it in the coming issues and have pictures also. The drive there and returning were both nice and, certainly, Texas has much beauty to see in traveling around this great state. We will tell you more about that also.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO: Lodge No. 7 Caldwell Lodge No. 17 New Tabor Lodge No. 116 Cooks Point Lodge No. 120 Deanville Dear Members : Based on the desires expressed by some of you and the correspondence with all of you since then, this is notification that we will proceed with the joint meeting on June 24, 1979 in the New Tabor Hall (home of Lodge 17). The purpose of this meeting is to hear the pros and cons and a detailed explanation of what all is involved in a merger procedure such as is being considered for the four lodges. After the meeting on the 24th, each lodge will then have the opportunity to go back to their members, proceed according to Article 115 of our Society's By-laws, and then vote on whether you are in favor or not of the impending merger.

In the event the reaction is favorable on the part of the four lodges, another meeting would then be held for the purpose of choosing a lodge number, name or designation, and electing officers for the new lodge. Of course, if one of the four lodges votes not to merge and the others do, those can then still proceed with the merger; the decision is up to the members of each lodge.

The meeting on the 24th will commence promptly at 7:30 p.m. I will convene the meeting and answer any questions that anyone may have. In the meantime, please get the word out to all your members about the June 24th meeting.

Fraternally, Nick A. Morris President, Supreme Lodge

Before I can write another line, I must say that we are very proud to state that we have already exceeded our quota for 1979 in only five months, so now 1 am really looking forward to this year being our best year yet. Let's try for the two-million, let's every sales representative set a goal and work toward it. Remember this : your free ticket to the banquet is for insurance sales in 1979. Good luck to each sales representative.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR FINE WORK. Fraternally yours, Tillie Valchar District VII SR LODGE NO. 74, LOVELADY Dear Members and Guests : We were out of town and I did not get to attend the business ,.frieeting of our lodge which took place Sunday, June 10th.

TUESDAY, JUNE 5TH was District VI Director Matt Vanek and his lovely wife Henrietta's 24th wedding anniversary and Henrietta's birthday. They attended the sales representatives' class that night, rather than celebra. ting; this is true dedication. [Caption and photo by Sister Jeanette Smith] I called our secretary and asked her about the contents that need to be put in this report so you will know and be prepared to attend the events coming up. Surely you know that every Thursday is the game night at 8 p.m.

The Music Masters provided music for our dancing fans June 16th.

Lone Star Express will be here June 23rd.

The Country Rhinditions will play for our fans June 30th.

For the celebration, of Fourth of July, we will have one of our best bands : The Country Combinations will play for us July 3rd, this will be our July Celebration dance from 8 to 12 p.m. and then on the 4th the lodge will be open from 1 p.m. until late in the evening. A covered dish supper will be served, so, all who want to, can come and bring food of your desire, and come and enjoy the fellowship with the members ; bring dominoes or any other entertainment that you may desire for enj oyment. If anyone wants to come play music, perform square dancing or polka dancing, all will be welcome.

Don't forget the change in the lodge meeting time, it has been changed from every second Sunday of the month to every second Monday of the month, at 7:30 p.m.

Hardy C. Bruner, Virginia Carolyn Pederson and Michael Alan Pederson, all of Crockett, have signed up for membership plus Brenda S. Williams of Pasadena, Texas and Ruby Estelle Guice of Grapeland, Texas. If you

Wednesday, June 20, 1979 know of any other person who has signed up for membership and wants to be put in the report, please let me know. We have other sales representatives who sell SPJST membership insurance.

We were saddened to learn one of our members of this lodge, Brother William 0. Loyd, 36, from Palentine, Texas, died.

Take care until next time...

Fraternally, Chester Shmoldas

LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Members : July 1st is your day to attend the annual picnic. Oh, sure you have made plans, but do check to see if the fishing line is not tangled (fishing contest will be for ages 10-12). A note for protection from the sun: lotion for a good tan, chairs for your comfort, a good appetite for barbecue on bun or franks, pork and beans, slaw, chips, pickles and dessert. The price for tickets will be $2 for adults and $1 for children. Ice cold beverages will be available for your thirst.

Fun and surprises will be happening all day and we hope you will come because, as in the past, the Pokladniks prepare the farm for your enjoyment.

Many hours are spent to mow trails, get the haybailers, tractors, etc., lined up for your pleasure. It's Lodge No. 84's last picnic to offer so much provided by Brother Sid and Sister Justine. The land has been sold. I, for one will miss this get-together. Where else can such a "welcome and happy to see you" feeling be felt, along with atmosphere and fresh air?

Road directions accompany my letter in this Vestnik, so you know how to get there (to the farm).

Brother Charlie Prasifka, who had surgery last week is sent get-well wishes from all of us. Back for the first time last week tending bar, was Brother Charlie Steglik. Welcome back!

Our sympathy to Brother Raymond Dlabaj who lost a sister. May she rest in peace.

Support our lodge activities ; also, remember Youth Activity Day in Longview on June 24th.

June 30 -- Bill Kucera Band will provide music for dancing from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Please come!

With Brother Henry and Helen Janacek, our accordionist being absent, Sister Annie Jakubec took over the piano and Sister Emily Stuteville directed us in singing those great old songs ; singing is so relaxing I can really snooze after a rehearsal. We need more men's voices, won't you come out and try to sing with us?

After rehearsal we had a short business meeting. The minutes from our last rehearsal were read and we had a short discussion about how to get more men's voices to participate and since there was no other business, the meeting was adjourned until our next rehearsal which will be at 8 p.m.

Tuesday, June 26th and we hope everyone will come out.

Dear Members: The picnic at Brother Sid and Sister Justine Pokladnik's farm July 1st will have many folks returning and many for the first time attending. The Pokladniks invite our lodge to use this show place for our annual picnic. No doubt the rains have kept the grass even greener this year and the freshly mowed paths through the trees and pasture grass is always enjoyed by all, especially since the driver of the tractor, pulling the big hay trailer filled with people and hay, is making the trip for the umpteenth time and knows each bump along the way ; well almost all of them.

Brother Sid always has the beef barbecuing as you arrive adding to their big welcome and just past him is this big pavilion that holds all the trimmings to be served with the beef.

Further on a half circle of people can be seen and as you take a better look you find a van with a Vailer attached with good things to drink to make that Sunday after Saturday night feeling quickly disappear. The half circle

quickly grows to a full circle and gets bigger.

Watch for the menu in next week's Vestnik but the Kitchen Committee would like cookies or an uniced cake to be served for dessert.

REMINDERS: Bring chairs, hats, fishing equipment, tan lotion and just come to have the time of your life.

Our past dance was the Country Boys playing for your dancing pleasure, with everyone enjoying the evening.

LODGE NO.

88, HOUSTON

The dance Saturday night, June 9th, with the well-known Ray Jurecka Orchestra was well-attended and all the ladies and their escorts were dressed beautifully. For that night the dress code rules were laxed but they came out in style which pleases us very much. Everyone present had a terrific time enjoying the whole evening. The Hosting Committee was in charge of Chuck Custard who also helped seating the guests ; his dear wife, Jane (wearing a very becoming black gown) was in the box office; their son, Don and his lady friend, Joann Chastain (dressed in a heaven-blue gown), were at the door admitting the arriving guests.

Ray Jurecka always draws guests from all around Houston. At the table with Brother and Sister Jarisch (both work on the Social Night Committee every Thursday) were Fred and Carmen Geistenberger, Bill and Allene Geistenberger, both couples from Rosenberg, Texas. At another table, surrounded with mutual friends, were Oscar and Hilda Schroeder of Victoria. The following were Edmund and Bessie Kraner, Bill and Alma Schiller, Henry and Geraldine Victorin, all from East Bernard, and Frank and Louise Rej sek from Wallis ; they were guests of Bill and Geraldine Hlozek and John Hlozek of Houston.

They all were in a jolly mood and enj oyed the evening. Come back again and soon.

Brother Herbert Huber, a very active member of Lodge 88, didn't want anyone to know that his birthday is the following day, Sunday, June 10th. Even his spouse, Gazela, was very secretive about it, but somehow it leaked out and happy birthday wishes with kisses from the ladies, handshakes from the men and a special request for the Hubers was played and the announcement from the stage by the orchestra leader brought on a round of applause. Herbert and Gazela whirled around and they did not look over 39. Happy Birthday!

At another table, surrounded by ten couples enj oying the evening, and, among them, a very shy couple but beaming all over, were Ed and Willie Mae Stang and with good reason: they were proud of their beautiful granddaughter, Debra Elaine Dobesh, an honor student at the Aldine Junior High School, coming through with a straight "A" report card. Debra Elaine is very active in the lodge's youth club. (Their grandson, Craig Lawrence, age 8, and in the second

Wednesday, June 20, 1979 grade is a bright youngster and follows in his sister's footsteps).

Congratulations !

The nice and handsome bachelor, Brother Gary Zalesky, (the only son of Brother A.J. and Elsie Zalesky) managed, for a long time, not to get involved, but time caught up with him and he finally capitulated when the love bug got him. No wonder! Myriam.

Perrin is a beautiful and lovely young lady and it didn't take long for Gary to place a sparkling diamond ring on Myriam's finger two weeks ago. In the near future the engaged couple will prepare for their final vows. Myriam is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn Matthews. In the Blue Room around the table they were toasting the young couple; with them were friends Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Jurcak from New Orleans, Louisiana, who were visiting here for a few days.

Congratulations Gary and Myriam!

Lee and Gerry Doyel were at the dance Saturday after a two-month absence. I did not know but Lee underwent a serious operation and this was the first time for him to be out.

Lee, you look terrific. Gerry must be taking good care of you. Oh yes !

Congratulations on the arrival of your new addition to your family. Now, you have two grandchildren after waiting ten years for the first.

Brother Sandy and wife, Mary Sanderson visited the Blue Room Saturday. They came in for a chat with friends. This is the first time since they moved to Florida to manage a drive-in Mini Storage and we are happy for you that you enjoy your work. They will be going back in a few days. Their daughter Bengi Sisson and her husband Rob, were with Sandy and Mary. It was nice to see both of you.

Sister Susan Schenburn had quite a rough time because she had four wisdom teeth abstracted, all at one time (which is surely no fun) May 24th in Northwest Hospital. In three days she was back in the fold nursing her patients at Northwest where she is employed. Susan is a great nurse who likes her profession. Sister Frances Walla is still in St. Joseph's Hospital after a serious operation. All of us are praying for her to get well. She is a great lady and we miss you. Sister Anna Sves,tka is home from the hospital where she spent a week for tests. She is doing fine with medication. To all these and all our ailing members and friends, we wish a speedy recovery and good health.

Eastern Star Oak Forest Chapter held their installation of officers Saturday, June 9th at 8 p.m. in the Oak

16

Forest Memorial Temple. Our Sister Erna O'Conner was the installing Marshal. Sister Erna is active in the Eastern Star many years and very devoted to the great work they do.

Erna is also active here at home at Lodge 88, and we love her.

Blue Room specials for the month of June are: Mai Tai and Pineapple Daquari. Come and enjoy the pleasant surroundings of hospitality and the pleasant service from our bartender, Nath.

SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM REPORT

LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters : Our Tuesday night, May 29th game was rained out and also our Thursday night, May 31st, including our Tuesday night, June 5th game.

We finally were able to play our Thursday night, June 7th game in Richardson and we beat the Carrolton team by a score of 6 to 2. Roy Andrews pitched the first 3 innings allowing 1 hit, 1 run unearned, 2 walks and 2 strikeouts plus Lionel Schulz pitched the last 4 innings allowing 1 run, 2 walked and 3 strikeouts.

Leading the team offensively were Dan Palm with a homerun, a single and a walk; Randy Christian earned a single, Don Jarma hit a single, Danny Yates also hit a single; Jeff Burton earned a walk, Rick Fountain and Lionel Schulz, both made a single.

Tuesday night, June 12th, we finally had a game with Auto Crossroads and we lost by a score of 3 to 2 in a real good ball game. In the 4th inning, we scored the first run, they scored 3 runs in the 5th with one error contributing to their runs ; we came back in the 6th inning, with another run and we failed to tie the game in the 7th inning. Lionel Schulz hurled a fine game, allowing 4 runs, 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. We really outplayed this team, but we made one mistake, we didn't outscore them. This one team gives us more trouble and always have; I guess we will have to break the jinx next time.

Leading hitters contributing to the game were Jeff Burton with 2 singles, Rick Fountain earned a single, Don Jarma, Roy Andrews and Danny Yates, all contributed a double, and Don Lennox made a sacrifice hit.

JOS. C. ESTERAK worked as a bartender for Joe Leshikar. In 1911 he became a bookkeeper and salesman in C.O. Leshikar's Furniture and Hardware Store.

He joined the SPJST on March 1, 1908.

In 1909 Bro. Esterak married Edna Adamcik. He and his wife had two sons, Leroy and Joe. His wife died in 1960 and his son, Joe, died in 1974 at the age of 60. His surviving son, Leroy, resides in Midland, Texas. He has two grandsons and two granddaughters and one great-granddaughter. He also has one living sister, Mrs. Joe Janosky of Houston, Texas.

Brother Esterak leads a very active life and lives alone. He grows a garden and has one of the best groomed yards in Smithville.

Speaking briefly, Bro. Esterak expressed appreciation to SPJST Lodge 38 for the celebration and thanked the Supreme Lodge for the check for the face amount of his certificate. He has a good attitude toward life and has maintained a keen sense of humor.

Lodge No. 38 and the entire SPJST salute Bro. Esterak on his 96th birthday and wish him well. (Prepared and submitted by SL Secretary-Treasurer Leonard D. Mikeska) -SPJST-

FROM DISTRICT VII

YOUTH COUNSELOR As the cool norther blows in June, I am finalizing plans for our annual District VII outing. Hopefully, by the 26th, the weather will be back to our usual warm June. Swimming in the cool spring water at Landa Park needs warm weather.

All youth members of District VII are invited to bring a sack lunch. The district will furnish cold drinks and swim ticket for each of you. We will meet at camp site No. 5 around noon, eat our lunches, and then off to the fun of Landa Park in New Braunfels.

We would like very much to have any of our members and friends who enjoy picnics to join us. Landa Park is a beautiful place to spend the day.

You all come, we are making plans for you.

EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY

We, the undersigned Resolution Committee of Lodge No. 49 Pokrok Rowena, in behalf of our membership express our heartfelt sympathy to the family of our departed lodge brother PETER PAUL EWALD,

wh.o died at the age of 94 June 4, 1979 in Baptist Memorial Geriatric Hospital.

Services were held Tuesday, June 4, at 3:30 p.m. in the Robert Massie Riverside Chapel with the Rev. I.L. Whitsell, Baptist Memorial Chaplin, officiating. Burial was in Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens.

Brother Ewald, a cotton broker, was honored in 1967 by the Cotton Digest, international cotton trade maga-

zine, as the dean of cotton buyers in Texas and as being one of the oldest buyers in the nation. He was active in the cotton business until about 1970.

He and his family moved to 1036 Bell Street in San Angelo in 1922 from Rowena and founded the P.P. Ewald and Sons Cotton Co. A native of Fayette County, Brother Ewald was born Dec. 11, 1884. He attended school in LaGrange and moved to Rowena in 1902. He went to work in a general mercantile store where collection of customer's yearly bills involved the cotton buying.

There he learned the cotton business which held such facination for him that he soon devoted all his time to it.

Brother Ewald recalled a number of years ago that he had bought well over a million bales of cotton from farmers in the San Angelo area.

The well-known cotton buyer had always been active in civic and community affairs. He was president of the Rowena School Board and served as a member of the Lake View School District board of trustees in San Angelo.

He was an ardent sports fan particularly of the Houston Astros baseball team. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing.

A Catholic, he was a member of Woodmen of the World and the SPJST Lodge No. 49 of Rowena.

He was married to Albie Cervenka of Granger on Aug. 6, 1906. Mrs. Ewald died Nov. 4, 1976.

MAKE AIR-CONDITIONER `FIT' ROOM

Select an air-conditioner that fits the room--and enjoy a cool summer, says a family resource management specialist, Bonnie Piernot.

Mrs. Piernot is with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas A&M University System.

AIR-CONDITIONER FUNCTION An air-conditioner does two things to make a room cool and, comfortable. It cools, and it dehumidifies, she explains.

A unit too large for a particular room will cool the room quickly, then the compressor will cycle off.

Since dehumidification occurs only while the compressor is operating, an oversized unit may not dehumidify sufficiently, Mrs. Piernot points out.

On the other hand, a slightly undersized unit will operate the compressor more and thereby control humidity more effectively.

DETERMINE CAPACITY In the past, the capacity of many room air-conditioners was determined by estimating the size of the area to be cooled, and then adding a bit more for "good measure."

As a result, many units in service today are larger then necessary.

Also, slightly undersized room air-conditioners are in step with today's energy saving trends, such as adding insulation and weatherstripping to a home.

The same insulation that helps keep a house warm in the winter will help keep it cool in the summer.
