At the ceremonies held Sunday, March 21, 1982 there were many members from other lodges and there were some guests also attending and we wish to thank everyone for being present to witness our occasion.

We've just heard that our past lodge president, Brother Victor Peter (who was also at the ceremonies), was in St. Luke's Hospital in Houston undergoing heart surgery.

The facilities of Lodge No. 25 in Ennis, were utilized for the annual Sales Representatives' Appreciation Social held Sunday, March 28, with Director Sid Pokladnik in charge.

Prior to a delicious roast beef and sausage meal served by the ladies of the Ennis lodge, a hospitality hour began at 12 noon for approximately ninety persons.

He also introduced Lodge 25 President James Whitfill and his wife, who helped arrange the annual dinner and thanked the ladies in the kitchen for serving the meal. Others introduced were Editor Rudy Sefcik, LAM Curator Otto Harms and Sister Justine Pokladnik.

Complimentary remarks honoring the sales individuals were made by SL Vice President Bernie Gebala and Director Sid Pokladnik distributed the incentive awards.

Among the three top sales producers in District III are Frances McBride of Lodge 25, Ernest Haskovec also of Lodge 25, and Hugo Kocian of Lodge 178; all three received monetary gifts; in addition to the awards, Sister McBride was also given the newly-designed letter opener and belt buckle.

Brother Gebala expressed appreciation to the salespersons involved in SPJST insurance and expressed his thanks to our State Field Managers, Silas Smith and Gene McBride.

He announced that the SPJST Insurance Committee, which is crucial to the SPJST, will meet April 10 at the Home Office. He also stated our State Field Managers will be holding sales classes May 3, at Lodge 25; May 4, at Lodge 84; May 5, at Lodge 180; and May 6, at Lodge 66.

Editor COMMENTS

FOOD FOR THOUG7T Life insurance is the conservative man's comfort and the cautious man's blessing because it is the only worryproof investment. Life insurance is the only investment one can make and know just what his return will be.

It is the only investment in which he can be sure that the full purpose will be fulfilled.

Mention has been made by numerous individuals about the advantage of a college education. Most everyone is aware of the fact that college and/or technical graduates earn a higher average income; it has been estimated, as a lifetime figure, that they earn approximately $100,000 over and above those having only a high school education.

Such a substantial difference would constitute quite a degree of security to any person in meeting both the ordinary and extraordinary problems which will surely crop up in this life.

We believe, however, that the time is fast approaching when talk 'about the advantage of a college education should be set aside; moreover, it will be more realistic to view the question in terms of necessity.

Isn't it true that knowledge begets knowledge? For example: historians have been able to conclude that the primitive Aryans had wagons, perhaps as far back as 5,000 or 4,000 years. They made wheels of trunks of trees, shaped with an axle between the ends.

Although crude, this was the beginning of the modern wheel, which has so revolutionized man's way of life. As man increased his knowledge, he was able to adapt it to many varied uses.

It has been the same relative situation as to the invention of the steam engine, the internal combustion engine, the discovery of electricity and oil, the advancement in metallurgy, and in so many other instances too numerous to mention.

We have recently entered into new scientific and technological adventures as a result of knowledge begetting knowledge. What will ultimately result from the splitting of the development of the various electric elements, remains to be seen. It is for sure, however, that great changes in our way of life are impending.

The important thing to consider is that preponderantly scientific and technological discoveries, breakthroughs, and improvements have been at the hand and minds of those having the required degree of "knowledge" and "knowhow" through educati pn. More and more, the destiny of industry, commerce and government is becomin dependent on such men and women.

Naturally, it becomes evident, that the possibility of employment, as to the present generation of children, and future generations, will depend to a great extent on the degree of education they receive.

Young men and women with college

and/or technical educations will undoubtedly have the best chance of employment and preferential wage.

This is something which parents of young children should give immediate consideration, whereby their children can be assured of a higher education. If this is your problem, face it now; your trained SPJST sales representative can help you! *** Many times, one gets the winning feeling in all his/her endeavor; moreover, we need an immediate "token" for our success. Therefore, if we can make our daily tasks a series of games with bonuses for winning, we will work with more enthusiasm.

Numerous words in the English language indicate the power of "wield" over ourselves and testify to the fact that in the end, we influence our own destinies. Self-denial, selfreliance, self-control, self-discipline, self-satisfaction, self-confidence, self-possession, self-assurance, selfrestraint and self-pity are all examples of these "self words." To this list, we should add "self reward." It can be one of the strongest motivating forces in our lives! *** Spring is a time of outdoor activity such as camping, hiking and picnicking. Springtime also signals an increase in the activity of ticks, carriers of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Here in Texas, there were 40 human cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in 1981. Many species of ticks can carry the rickettsiae which cause this disease. The Lone Star tick, brown dog tick and American dog tick — three ticks with which people have frequent contact can transmit the disease to humans. Transmission can occur in several ways: tick bite, contact with tick feces or contact with the fluids from crushed ticks. To transmit the disease, a tick must be attached for 4-6 hours. Signs of illness usually appear 3 to 10 days following exposure. Sudden fever, headache and chills are the initial signs. A rash is seen on about the third day of illness, beginning on the palms and soles and spreading to rest of the body. The disease can be very severe with death occurring in 20% of untreated cases. Infections usually respond well to prompt antibiotic therapy.

Prevention of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever depends on preventing exposure to ticks. Use insect repellents when engaging in outdoor activities in tick-infested areas. Check yourself frequently for attached ticks. Removing ticks every four hours greatly reduces risk of the infection. Use insecticides to reduce tick numbers on your pets and in your yard. Use tweezers or forceps when removing attached ticks. Crushing a tick between your fingers can result in infection.

Spring and summer camping trips can be sources of long-lasting memories. A small investment in time and effort in disease prevention can insure that all your memories will be happy ones.

of the Publication Committee Meeting Minutes

Temple, Texas March 20, 1982 The regular meeting of the Publication Committee was called to order at 10:00 a.m. by Chairman Ed Mazanec. All members of the Publication Committee were present; also present were Editor Rudy Sefcik and Publisher Larry Ingram.

The secretary mailed a copy of the September 26, 1981 minutes to each committee person. Emil Matula moved, seconded by Tommy Lostak, that the minutes be accepted as printed. Passed.

The secretary read a letter to the committee from Supreme Lodge President Nick A. Morris, in which he states that he will be unable to attend the meeting since he will be on his way to San Antonio to attend the 65th Anniversary Celebration of Lodge 133. Brother Morris wrote, "Have a good meeting and please convey my sincerest best wishes to all the members of the Publication Committee. I might add that all of us here are very pleased with the Vestnik and the efficiency with which it is being edited and published. We have a publication that we can all be proud of." The

coniimittee appreciated President Morris's comment.

Editor Rudy Sefcik stated that the only complaint he had since the last meeting was from Sister Evelyn Mikeska from Houston, that the sales representatives' report was too light as printed in the Vestnik.

EditorSefcik and Publisher Ingram both stated that the ribbon that was being used by the computer was too light. A darker ribbon is now being used in the computer for publishing of the sales representatives' report and the printing is now satisfactory.

Editor Sefcik showed the committee the report as published in the March 10, 1982 Vestnik in which part of the report was printed with a light ribbon and part with a dark ribbon.

From now on, all of the reports will be printed with the dark ribbon.

Angeline Kristinek said that the only complaint she hears in her district is from the older members requesting that the "Roman" again be published in the Vestnik.

Publisher Larry Ingram stated that he is now printing 11,300 Vestniks weekly.

The Publication Committee discussed the possibility of mailing out survey cards to new members who became Vestnik subscribers since the last convention. Ruby Bolton moved, seconded by Sophia Dybala that the Supreme Lodge mail survey cards to all new members who began receiving the Vestnik since the last survey. The committee recommends that this should be done before the bid proposals are mailed to the bidders who bid on the publishing of the Vestnik. The mailing lists are to be brought-up-to-date before the convention so that the correct number of subscribers can be shown in the bid specifications. Passed.

The next regular meeting of the Publication Committee is to be held Saturday, September 25, 1982 at 10 a.m. in Temple, Texas.

The meeting was adjourned.

of the Month News From Lodge No. 88

End

With the month of March out of the way and closed with four polka orchestras in a row on Saturday nights, this should have satisfied the polka-loving guests and members.

Now, for this month, we are looking forward to Easter Sunday, April 11 and the youth meeting at 3 p.m.; April 12 regular monthly lodge meeting, with a delicious friedchicken dinner at 6:30 p.m. Just to remind you, bring a side dish to serve with the fried chicken. Blue Room party is Sunday, April 25 called the "Blue Room Mini Fest"; doors will open at 4 p.m. and the festivity will continue until 9 p.m.; for $10 per person, you will enjoy cocktails, dinner and dance to the music of. the "Bavarian Village Band" of New Braunfels; dress casually! This takes care of the month of April, besides the regular events taking place day after day.

The Birthday Club Sisters' parties on the first and second Wednesday of each month with games and a

delicious lunch served at noon with a special invitation is extended by President Pearl Hanka. Czech classes Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., with Instructor William Souchek; also, Choral Club rehearsals Tuesday at 8 p.m., directed by Tim Kostom. The Czech Concert Orchestra, directed

by Rudy Dybala, rehearsal is Wednesday at 8 p.m. and every fourth Wednesday a combination rehearsal for both groups; as you can see, we are a busy group of members and friends.

Sunday, March 28 the Choral Club and the Czech Concert Orchestra participated in the annual Houston Festival for one hour in the city's Tranquility Park to a huge attendance. This was the fourth year both groups participated with success, with each number ending with huge applause from the audience; both groups wore their Czech costumes.

Saturday was a very bad day with heavy rain and cold weather; even Sunday morning was bad, but, by eleven, the skies cleared and the sun warmed the air and the performers were ready to go. Directors Tim Kostom and Rudy Dybala appreciated the effort and cooperation of the participants.

We're sorry to hear about Jerry Kolacny not feeling well about 10 weeks now. Wednesday, March 17, he was rushed to the Spring Branch Hospital after passing out at home; he was treated and sent home. After that he passed out again and rushed back on the 24th and now will undergo an ear operation; he is in Room 335 in Spring Branch Hospital.

Bessie, his wife, is very worried and upset over Jerry's illness; he never was sick and, now, in and out of the hospital! We hope this surgery will correct whatever is ailing Jerry.

They both love to fish and used to just pick up and go to the open waters and stay for days; both are skilled fishermen. Good luck, Jerry!

Now, here is some very good news! Play rehearsals are on for the Czech play, "Melodie ceske vesnice" ("Melody of the Czech Village"); Director Milo Karel is directing and performing in the play with his companion, Jan Schroif. If you have ever seen these two performers opposite each other, on the stage in a Czech play, then you know what to expect; both are hilarious comics.

The cast has several newcomers on our stage for the first time. This play will be presented Sunday, May 16,1982. Make your notation on your calendar for that Sunday. Tim Kostom, as usual, is the make-up man for the male actors and his wife, Rosalee, will take care of the female cast. I assure you that you have something to look forward to!

SPECIAL! Saturday, May 1, is our Clean-up Day at Lodge No. 88; all members and friends are welcome to lend a hand in making our lodge spick and span. Come out and find out that it is fun! SEE YOU! I sure was glad to hear from our friend Emily Zemko in Chicago, now.

She misses us as much as we miss her. For the past month she was quite busy settling in her new home with the help of her niece, Nancy and her husband, Joe Zverina, helping her to make her duplex cozy.

The cold weather is hard on her; here in Texas we don't go through the long-term freezing spells. Of course, we experienced some this year, but I am sure that is no comparison to Chicago. Emily has a good

voice and we miss her in our Choral Club. Thank you for remembering us!

Fraternally, Frances Olexa

of Lodge San Antonio No. 133 1917 - March 17 - 1982 A few Czechs in San Antonio liked the idea of following other places in Texas to organize an SPJST Lodge also in San Antonio. An informative meeting was called by Karel J. Hana.k.

It was held at the Crockett Hotel, not far from the Alamo. To get more people interested, one week later, a second meeting was called, held in Ferdinand Malt's residence. It was a successful meeting; all present agreed to start a lodge at once.

4/VESTNII( — Wednesday, April 7, 1982 The ceremonies founding the lodge took place on March 18, 1917, in the WOW Hall, 822 East Houston Street, where the lodge meetings were held until 1962. The celebration started at 3 p.m., with 46 people present. There were guests from Fayetteville, Floresville, Yorktown and West. The meeting was called to order by Karel J. Hanak, who welcomed all present, and explained the purpose of calling the festive meeting. After introducing the guests he turned the meeting over to temporary chairman, Brother Ferdinand Maly, who after a short address, introduced the guest speaker, Brother J. R. Kubena, the Supreme Lodge secretary, and Brother Pazdral, attorney.

As soon as the program was finished, the first officers were elected, as follows: President Ferdinand Maly Vice-president Marie Haas Secretary Karel J. Handl( Bookkeeper Rosie Gold Treasurer Karel Faigl Guide Josef Vanek Delegates to convention: Josef Haas Sophie Maly, alternate Lodge doctor Dr. B.C. Kitowski Reporter Vaclav Pode§t It was 65 years ago, today we celebrate the 65th birthday. It is not just a routine birthday, but a very special one. It marks more than a half of the century of hard work and service to our members. This is a reminder of our debt to men and women of vision, or, if you prefer, of dreams. The dedicated pioneers recognized the need for a manyside life protection, they gave of their considerable skills, and shaped a vision into a reality. We are the beneficiaries.

The main aims and purpose of our pioneers were to organize and continuously to Maintain a fraternal institution to write life insurance to its members at the lowest possible cost, to foster a spirit of fellowship, fraternal love, and mutual help, to sponsor and encourage education and thereby sow the seed of democracy and a better understanding of our democratic institutions and our form of government, and to foster, at all times, patriotism, loyalty and devotion to our country. Briefly, mutually to help each other, to make of its members more enlightened and better citizens.

The satisfaction in work completed has a fine psychological effect on everyone. Even in this day and age we must not get away from the basic concept that most men have an innate pride in a job well-done and that to continue to develop this pride is a personal problem of the highest degree.

In general, work has been good during the long 65 years, and all of the signs indicate a good future is ahead.

All the lodge meetings were held in the, Czech language, later on, from September 8, 1957, the meetings are now held in the English language.

I realize that time is growing late. I appreciate your attention very much; the very kind attention you have given me. I feel, I would not be fair with you if I would not say a few words in Czech, the mother language of our forefathers and pioneers. (See Czech Section-Ed.)

From Lodge No. 172, Pasadena Ne7s

Dear Members and Friends throughout Texas: A friendly "hello" to all of you from Lodge No. 172 and I must say Spring is finally here today; the atmosphere is almost full of sweet smell of blooms from different types of flowers: roses, honeysuckle, also peach and pear trees, etc. Our backyard, at times, is covered with mocking birds, blue and black birds that are being fed by my wife, Esther, who enjoys having a bunch of wildlife friends. Our daughter, Margie Lee and I also admire them.

All these things in our backyard bring back memories of the past life in our country days and in Houston.

We admire the friendship of the brothers and sisters from all the lodges that we come to and many legion posts that are loved by all war veterans; we wish that a lot of people from far and near places would also come to Lodge Rozkvet where friendliness and kindness is extended to everyone in our fraternal organization. Our lodge has a great surprise for everyone in the future, only if God is willing with the weather, so keep on coming and listen to what our leaders have to say that will be happening in 1982 because we had one of the greatest and happiest days yet: Sunday, March 21, 1982, on our future home site, we held the groundbreaking ceremonies for Lodge No. 172 on Preston Street. A large group of brothers and sisters from our lodge and various neighboring lodges came to witness the occasion, even Brother and Sister Tommie Lostak of Danbury who is a rice farmer and rancher. Thanks for your presence, farmer and rancher! God bless you both.

At the groundbreaking ceremonies the first thing was the golden shovel pushed by our founder, Sister Lillia Mae Peter and her husband, Brother Victor Peter, our past president; and none other than Brother Louis Hanus, District V director, our new lodge President Dan Berry, 1st Vice President J. C. Dressler, 2nd Vice President Julius Zeila; and the Building Committee, Albert Risinger, Joseph Krenek and Norman Toft. It was a joyous day for so many of us present that I couldn't remember all the shovel pushers' r roes, however, my wife Esther 1\ eska received the best shovel to the last; she gets to care for the 24karat golden shovel as a collected item which will be displayed in our new lodge home's museum. There were so many people covering the ground area at the lodge site location that it won't be hard for the

Editor Brother R. J. Sefcik, we missed you here with the camera!

Saturday night, March 20, we had visitors from our sister lodges listening and dancing to the music of recording star Henry Repka and his Music Kings who play ballroom and variety music. Among his musicians are his son who plays the accordion and sings like a meadowlark and Brother Flores, saxophone player.

The drummer boy kept my feet in time, especially to a waltz or polka.

We also had visitors from Lodge 88 with brother James and Sister Joyce Kimmons and Brother Lee and Sister Eloise Flores from Magnolia, Texas, also the Richards family for a very happy occasion who had their 44 wedding anniversary. We are wishing Lee and Eloise many more happy anniversaries!

Others who also attended our dance from Lodge 88 were: Ruth and Gene Kobbom, Millie and Harry Wheeler, Joyce and Weldon Orr, Ann and Roy Haley, John Comata and Era. We also had a good attendance a: the March 27 dance with music played by Ray Krenek; his variety and ballroom music is always enjoyed by his followers.

At the April 3 dance we had Lee Roy Matocha furnishing variety music. Although we take reservations, we had no reservations at that time, so come early and pick out your favorite tables and don't forget your "BYOB" and other set-ups available at the bar section.

Everyone at the bar is treated with the best southern hospitality. \ t the present time, we hold our activities at the fraternal FOE Hall of the Eagles on 911 East Shaw in, Pasadena, and at our door at the last dance, were two of our loved ones:

Sister Fisbeck celebrated her birthday with her husband from Lodge 88; their table was fully occupied with happy people. Even Brother Lyles had a tableful of jolly friends. There were also other tables filled to capacity by members and guests who had an enjoyable time. Thanks to everyone from near and far who are so gracious for coming to our family affair entertainment. We, at our Lodge No. 172, do appreciate everyone's patronage and their kind cooperation for selecting our site for a weekend of happiness and entertainment. We invite you again for another weekend of fun and family gathering.

We have seen and also welcomed our past lodge President Victor Peter and wife, Lillia Mae, our lodge founder of Rozkvet Lodge, but, for one thing, we are so sorry to hear that Brother Peter had to go back to the hospital for observation. Brother Victor, we wish you the best and quickest recovery from all of us, and also to those who may be sick. May God grant all of you the best of health and happiness.

All of us were also happy to see Brother Joseph Machann and Sister Vlasta Machann among us at the Sunday's ground-breaking ceremonies; also Brother John and Sister Pearl Lyman of Conroe Lake Hills had the opportunity to be present. Many thanks for attending and come again! God bless you all.

Fraternally yours, John T. Mikeska -SPJST-

From Lodge No. 172, Pasadena News

Dear SPJST Members and All Other Fraternal Societies in Texas: We, at Rozkvet Lodge No. 172 in Pasadena, are extending best wishes in health and whatever ails you in the change of time from winter to spring and where we hear so much about flu, fever, headaches, sinuses, etc. I called a sick member to let it be known that they are in our minds and are not being forgotten. At our social we all were in a few seconds of silence about the news of our past president who was about to have surgery which was March 29th. Brother Victor Peter is in the St. Luke's Hospital. Our prayers are with you and we wish you a recovery very soon. May God be at your side.

Our dance held Saturday, March 27 was quite well-attended in spite of the mild weather (rainy and balmy). To all of you who came, we appreciate your patronage. Thanks, come again! It was a weekend of happiness and a very enjoyable evening because our dance floor was always full of dancers at all times, dancing to the beautiful music of our country and well-known Ray Krenek and Ray's dear old daddy, Edward Krenek, (90 years young), playing on a little "big ole" tenor saxophone and harmonica; keep coming, Papa Krenek, because all of us love you and the music your son Ray puts out; with them were, also, Ray's brother Leonard and his lovely wife; Esther and John Mikeska have danced with that lovely couple. We want to thank the. Kreneks for all of , them are a likeable and real kindhearted family.

Our April 3 dance, with music furnished by Lee Roy Matocha, was another enjoyable occasion.

For our Saturday night, April 10 dance the music will be furnished by the Dixie Kings who play variety music; many have not heard their music yet, so come, one and all because you are invited from far and near places. In this band, Mark Davis has a piano player; many surely haven't heard him play, so come and hear him for you will be glad you did. All of Mark's musicians are great.

Our Saturday night attendance is growing by a great number. Thanks to all of you for coming! We had two brothers celebrating their birthdays. They were Otto Goeke and James Baines. "Happy Birthday" song was sung to both of them by everyone at the lodge dance. We also have several free dance tickets as gifts to give away while the musicians have their rest.

The hosts at the door were two real beautiful couples, Brother Tommy and Sister Helen Wallace and Brother Douglas and Sister Lorraine Wiley. Margie Lee Nelms was celebrating her birthday April 5. Best wishes to her and, God bless her soul, because she too works real hard for the future of her's and everyone's upcoming project that has started at Lodge No. 172.

We also had a lovely couple, Brother John and Sister 011ie Brice here on a short visit with us from Beverly Hills, California. We had a very special brother and our President Dan Berry being our guest at our table Saturday night.

We do appreciate his company for he is a fine gentleman; we also had Martha and Gordon Spears, Joyce and Jim Kimmons, Herbie and Evelyn Kimmons, Eddie and Marie Pozderny and James and Lee Baines. Thanks for your company!

Visitors attending were Jessie Vence Serlocks of Crosby, Charlie and Viola from La Porte, John and Rene Ordner from Friendswood, Pete and Helen Burdoulion, Charlie and Anna Bell Fosters, Otto and Gladys Goeke, Chris and Mary Holton. Mr. Rienecker and his lovely lady and many more were present.

Thanks to all of you; do come again!

Also invite your relatives and friends and tell them about how everyone had an enjoyable time at Lodge No. 172 in Pasadena in the beautiful lodge home.

Today is a beautiful day in our overgrown City of Houston.

Everything is in bloom and smells so sweet which makes it a pleasant day; I guess I better not say it too loudly because I may scare the beauty away.

I had a slight accident Monday night while at work; I slipped on a waxed floor and a particle of a paper towel fell down and hit my head against an iron door frame; only 6 stitches were made on top of my head and I am off a whole week, but that didn't stop me from enjoying a weekend of real enjoyment dancing to good music. I am in good shape, thanks to our good doctor who is looking after my injury.

Let it be as it may, still onward and forward we march, walk or drive to wherever each of us belong on our day's rest on weekend and pray for peace on our God-given Earth and bless the gifts to all and respect them rightfully. Let's all of us proudly put out our flag of the

United States of America on our homes and/or businesses to show our love and pride in it and let the flag wave high that we all stand behind it more than anyone can account for.

It's liberty and justice for all!

Our prayers are in our minds and thoughts for all sick members and friends wherever they are confined whether in their homes, hospital (including myself) and may all our loved ones rest in peace in the beautiful rose gardens where the eternal light may shine upon them.

God grant them all a heavenly rest.

God bless you all!

Fraternally yours, John T. Mikeska -SPJST-

and Around Mid-Cities Lodge No. 183 News In

Dear Members: Things were a little busy, busy for your reporter over the past weekend. After working for 8 hours overtime Saturday, four Lodge No. 183 members and I went to a dance at Sons of Hermann Lodge No. 33 in Fort Worth and danced to a very good band by the name of "Rambling Country." We hope to hire this band for one of Lodge No. 183 dances in the near future. We had a very enjoyable time and danced until 1 a.m.

Sunday morning I traveled to Ennis for the District III Sales Representatives' meeting and dinner; also present from Lodge No. 183 were: B. J. and Betty Hlavaty and Daniel and Mary Ann Roznovsky. We had a very good meal, also a very interesting program; you can always learn something from these meetings. We want to thank all the people from Ennis Lodge No. 25 for all the fraternal spirit that they showed all the sales representatives and their spouses.

After leaving Ennis, 15 members and I of Lodge No. 183 met in Dallas at Granny's Dinner Theater for dinner and to see Elke Sommer starring in Abe Barrey's "Cactus Flower." It was a very enjoyable evening, and I may add it was also the 31st wedding anniversary of Lambert and Bennie Mae Pustejovsky; "Happy Anniversary and many more"!

This past week all of the lodge books were audited and found in good order, also an inventory of all lodge property was made to see how much the lodge now owns and to establish the net worth of the lodge.

Members, in order for you to find out how well the lodge is doing, you will have to come to the next meeting Sunday, April 18.

Just remember keep smiling!

Ladies'

As the saying goes, "All things comes to them that wait." Finally, after so many weeks of capricious weather, our Ladies' Circle met Tuesday, March 9th. It turned out to be a very nice day, and all our members were happy to see each other again.

The meeting was opened with Julia Dueser, as president, and, soon afterwards, she turned the meeting over to Anne Polk, installing officer.

The following were installed: Mary Powers, president, Flora Koci, proxy for Lydia Palacheck, vice president, who was unable to attend; Clara Marchioni, secretary and Mary Ann Krivanek, proxy for Aurora Maldino, also unable to attend, as treasurer. Book markers were presented to each officer by Anne Polk.

The meeting resumed with Mary Powers presiding. A letter from Aurora Maldino was read in which she stated that she would be unable to attend our meeting because of her job, therefore, Mary Ann Krivanek was elected to become our next treasurer.

The members voted to change our date of meeting to the second Tuesday instead of our regular Thursday meeting until such time as would be convenient to go back to our regular meeting day.

"Happy Birthday" was sung to all the following members who had birthdays during January, February and March. They were: January: Julia Dueser, Mary and Richard Hubenak, Bennie Hundle, Anna Langer, Mary Powers and Joe Gregory; February: Bennie Bartek, Clara Cohn and Maggie Konecny; March: Mary Botik, Sunshine Easley, Rose Jaworski, Marie Prill, Josephine Prochaska and Inez Krivanek. We wish them prosperity and happiness for the coming year.

Mrs. Marie Tesar was appointed chairman of the hostesses for the year. The host and hostesses for April are: Joyce Tesar, Frank and Marie Tesar, Mary Ann Krivanek, Mary Saldana, Marie Prill and Bernadette Holford.

We wish to extend our sympathy to the families of Frances Tesar, and to the families of Frances Hlas, and also to Inez Krivanek and her family

on -the loss of her father, Walter Lindsay, in Weatherford, Texas.

I have just learned that John Murphy is in the Harris Hospital and has just had surgery. At the present time he is in the Intensive Care Unit. We hope that he will soon be well.

To those of you desiring overnight lodging, the Holiday Inn in Temple on 1-35 on the west side of Temple has been designated as accommodations headquarters. It will be up to each individual to make his or her own reservation. In addition to lodging, meals will be allowed for those staying overnight. In claiming reimbursement, the IRS requires that you submit motel bills because they consider lodging compensation the same as income.

(Sorry, no allowances for alcoholic beverages; the motel staff has been so informed.) Those wishing to make reservations may do so by contacting the Holiday Inn, 802 North General Bruce Drive, telephone 817-778-4411.

If you write, address your letter to the attention of Faye Dillard, and if you call ask for her because the arrangements for the workshop were made with her and she is familiar with all the particulars.

Directions to the Holiday Inn: For all those traveling from the South on 1-35, the next exit after you pass the Adams Avenue Exit is the Nugent Avenue Exit. Take that exit, proceed to Nugent Avenue for about half a mile and cross over 1-35 to the left and then take the service road on the west side of 1-35 back to Holiday Inn. For those coming into Temple from the north on 1-35, take Exit 303, which is the Nugent Avenue. Exit, and go approximately one-half mile to the Holiday Inn.

south, and on Hwys. 95 and 53, the above directions should suffice, except that you will probably utilize South 1st and Adams Ave. coming into Temple, the latter being the main east-west artery through town.

Adams runs into 1-35.

Directions to the Home Office: For those of you who have never been to the Home Office, it is located at 520 North Main, which runs north and south through Temple. We are situated across (but not directly across) from the main Post Office and you will see a prominent sign "SPJST Fraternal Life Insurance" on North Main Street and three "lollipop" signs on North 1st Street, however, entrance into our parking lots is only from Main Street. (Central Avenue divides Temple north and south and Main Street divides it east and west.)

There are virtually no one-way streets in Temple. There should be plenty of parking space available in our adjoining lots.

Those of you coming to the retreat from the South on 1-35, take the Adams Avenue Exit and go east about 1 mile to the Municipal Bldg.

(City Hall) and turn left on Main Street and go about 5 blocks to the Home Office Building at the corner of North Main and French. Those of you coming in from the north on 1-35 should take Exit 303 on the north edge of town and then follow the North 3rd Street signs, come approximately one and one-quarter miles to the second red light, which is French Avenue. Make a left on French and go 2 blocks to North Main and make a right into the parking lots of the Supreme Lodge Building.

Should you have any questions about directions or motel accommodations please write or call.

From the State Youth Director

T,MiN■1■1■1111=1 March 23, 1982 Dear Members, Spring is here and the children only have a few weeks of school remaining. There are 3 months left in this youth year. Will you be eligible to participate in your district's YAD and attend camp?

You must attend a majority of the meetings (7) from June 1 to May 31 in order to be eligible for these activities. It is a shame to see a child unable to participate when he/she is one or two meetings short of eligibility.

At this time, Districts I, III, IV, V and VII have held their annual training classes. These classes have been beneficial for everyone in attendance. Supplies and forms were distributed and plans were made for District YADs and camps.

During these classes we made a craft that each youth leader could take back to their youth clubs and use as a money-making project, gifts, or a YAD entry. In the next few weeks Districts II, and VI will be holding their District Training Classes. (Refer to the Youth Activity Calendar in the Vestnik for date, time and place.)

Saturday, April 17, through Sunday, April 18, the State Youth Leaders' Retreat will take place at the Supreme Lodge Headquarters in Temple. To those of you staying overnight, remember to make your reservations at the Holiday Inn on Interstate 35 in Temple. (Refer to Brother Morris's letter in the Vestnik for complete details on hotel accommodations and directions to the Supreme Lodge. NOTICE: The Supreme Lodge will pay only for one night's lodging (S turday). If you wish to stay Friday or Sunday night you must do so at your own expense.

We ask that each of you attending the retreat bring a hammer and a pair of tweezers. (A lightweight hammer will be best if you have one.)

We will be making a craft which you will take home; also, if you have any crafts, activities, or projects that you would like to share with us remember to bring the directions or instructions.

So far, the response has been encouraging and we have a good start on attendance for our retreat, however, we still have not heard from all of you. If for some reason you are unable to attend this seminar, send your assistants, LIT's, or interested parents so that someone can take information back to you. (Send in the coupon so that we can add your name to the list.)

The new SPJST T-shirts have arrived and are selling for $5.50 each. There are two different styles and 4 different colors. (red/white), blue/navy, tan/brown and Kelly green/gold.)

The following quarterly report is for Dec. 1981, Jan. and Feb. 1982.

Compared to the previous quarterly report the attendance has increased.

There are still several youth clubs that are failing to turn in a quarterly report. I can only say that you are depriving yourselves and your youth clubs of usable funds, so please take a few minutes to mail in these reports. If you have not had enough members present during a monthly meeting (5) to receive a reimbursement, send in your report

to let us know how many youth are attending these meetings, what your youth club is doing and what plans you have. This will not only give us an attendance record of all active youth throughout the state, but it also lets us know that you are working hard and trying to keep your youth clubs together. I realize that in today's world we are "hurried" and sometimes it is hard to remember so perhaps next quarter we will all remember and try to turn in the quarterly reports.

Parents, see that your children attend their meetings and let's give the youth leaders more support by becoming involved with youth club activities and socials. Volunteer to help out the next time a project or activity comes about. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy being a part of the youth club and your children will enjoy it more because YOU took the time to get involved.

There comes a time for all of us When we must say good-bye, But faith and hope and love and trust Can never, never die, Although the curtain falls at last Is that a cause to grieve?

Tak V g elicos — Aneika Houdkova.

Minuly tyden jsme zde v nagem rneste meli nekolik rozrugenfch.

Napted jisty 37. lety Cernoch ylez1 na mestsky bus a driel v ruce sak ve kterem se nosf hulk-3r s kterymi se hraje golf, zaplatil jrzdne a gel do zadu busu a z nieeho nic vytahl pu gku a zaeal Pti tom zasttelil jednoho eloveka a teice zranil dva druhe a tidiee sttelil do nohy. Nekteti se bali zasttelenf a zaeali lezt oknem a take se zranili. Cernoch utekl ale policie ho chytla par blokt (Ctvercu) dale a je zavten a mush tam byt protote nikdo nemá penize na zaruku. Na televizi ukazovali jak ho policiste vedli a vyhlftel divne. Je asi pomateny nebot' byl ji t jednou v ustavu choromyslnych a chova se opravdu vYsttedne. On bude zase chvili zavreny, pak ho pusti a mute to vyvezti zase.

Jak tikam, nikde nynf neni elovek jisty pted talcovymi lidmi, te ano?

Druhe rozrugenf se stalo kdy t jista 29. beta ena sedela s otcem jejf spoleenice na zadnfm dvote a videla jak milt se kreil kolem plotu vedlej gfhodomu a pak vklouzl do garate. Nyni slygela hasiaske troky a videla helikoptery jak obletovali sousedstvf a tak yedela, Ze asi hledajf toho elovelca.

Skoeila do domu pro revolver a u garate namitila zbrari na eloveka a f-ekla mu aby dal nice vzhfiru nebo k ho zasttelf (to tit garat zaeala hotet).

Ruky u ji zaealy bolet net policie ptigla a zatkla mute nebot' ohne nyni jsou na dennfm poi a vsechno je ted' drahe a take ph' tech ohnich mnohdy lidi pf-ijdou o tivoty. Ta Theresa Quinnova jest pry letugkou na letadle a jiste byla srdnata ze mohla toho mute zadriet pro policii. Byla na televizi nekolikrate a dostalo se p hodne "publicity".

7. dubna 1982 — VESTNIK/13 Moina, ze bude take skrze to obteloyana — nekteti lide nemajf nic jineho na praci jen zdr2ovat a obtelovat druheho.

Zdej g lide baptistskeho vyznani jsou nyni jaksi rozruSeni zpravou, ze ptedstaveni mormonske viry ze mineji brzy stavit zde v Dallas jejich kostel cili "temple." Tito se boji, ze by mormoni mohli jim odloudit nekteti jejich elenove a tak varujf kaZdeho aby si dal pozor. Mormoni ale tvrdi, ze oni se staraji o sve lidi a kostel a Zadneho nebudou pfemlouvat aby pfestoupil na mormonskou vlru. Take v Anglii zase je velky protest proti naySteve papete Jana Paula II v Anglii v kvetnu, a mall zlost na arcibiskupa Runcie-ho, ze ho pozval a vin' ho, ze zaprodal anglikanskou viru Vatikanu. Nekteti protestanti fikaji, 2e nedovoli aby pape2 nayStivil anglikanskou kathedralu a ze budou vSude bdit aby nemohlo procestvi viabec jiti. Nekteti take jsou tak fanatieti, ze 2e druzi pry chti aby se obe viry spojily a aby pape2 vladnul. Mnozl se boji, ze pti to nay-Steve mute dojfti k bojim a jiste zas by nekdo prisel k zraneni anebo k • Kdyby lide byli rozumnej g a meli vice porozumenf pro ciruhe, tak by nebyly 'taidne demonstrace a svet by byl mnohem lepg. Doufam, ze vSe dopadne dobte.

V nedeli 28. btezna byla zbourana stara budova YMCA ktera byla postavena pied 50 lety. Na televizi ukazovali jak dynamitem budova vzala za sve v nekolika minutach a a2 se zboterate uklidf, tak budou stavit pry mrakodrapovou budovu asi 45 poschod'ovou a za chvili nebude ani znamka, 2'e tarn kdysi stala jina budova. Inu, vSe se postupem easu men' k nepoznani!

Minuly tyden jista sekretarka velke spoleenosti, ktera se ptistehovala do Dallas z Indiany pied 1)66 tYdny, ga do First National Lanky si dostat peneini poukazku na $23.80 aby to zaslala na telefonni filet v Indiana a byla ptekvapena, ze Sek byl vystaven na miliony dolarti a tak nevedela co ma s tim Mat, ale nakonec piece Sla a poukazku vratila. JenZe jaksi nebyla spokojena s Um, Ze neobdrZela Zadnou odmeny za to. Na bance ji rekli, ze banka nikdy nedavo, odmeny. Tedy na chvali myslela, ze je bohata a zatim to byla chyba zamestnance a bylo po vSem, a bylo talc lepe nebot' by byla mohla miti nepIjemnosti s dm, a s poctivosti elovek nejdale dojde, Ze ano?

Neclayrio byl strach, Ze klinika ktera chudym a nemajetnym lidem • bude zruSena nebot' se nedostdvalo pottebnych fondu na vedenI tohoto.

Ptece se jim dostalo asi pet set tisic dolarti a tak thud' lide mohou byti bez starosti, ze se jim nedostane oSetteni.

A tech starSich lidi je opravdu mnoho a s malou pens' pri drahote by to bylo zde ✓ Dallas smutne. Snad easem se vSe zase zlepg pro talcove organizace.

Jestli pak vita ate/Ali, ze orel (tak zvany bald eagle) jest syrnbolem nag Ameriky jiz 200 let? Dne 20 eeryna 1782 Kongress zvolil tohoto ptika jako nagm narodnim symbolem ponevadt orel jest ptak ktery znazortiuje svobodu, srdnatost a volnost a naSe zem piece je znama co zem svobody pro kakleho. Orel kdyi je dospely jest veliky a kfidla jeho jsou sedm a pill stfevicii v rozmeru. Take zakony americke ho chrani ye mnoha statech a kdyby nekdo nektereho zabil talc by byl pokutovan pokutou pet tisic dolara a rok ve vezeni. Nekde jsou orli ohroleni nebot' nekteti honci nedbaji jestli je to proti zakonu neb ne. Proto chrarime ten nag symbol aby se nam dlouho

Ve Ft. Worth meli minuly tyden tu velkou dra2bu darovanych veci a pry se velice dobte vyda,tila nebot' sehnali vice jak 250. tisic dolaru, take olympicka, 'eta na vycvik pro hry v 1984 a ten malt' petilety hoch bude miti zaplacenou operaci, kde mu lekat tou operaci napravi jeho zdravi a on bude moci Ziti normalnim iivotem.

Vstupne ke stolu pry stab ten veeer $100. kaZdeho a mohli pak podavat nabfdky peneZni na ruzne veci. Majitel toho Billy Bob's daroval potezaneho byka a ten pry ptines1 $1100. a ovgem kole ginovy kabat a auto znaeky ptinesly velke sumy a to vge glo na dobry deel, ktery jim kaZdy pteje.

Zde v Dallas jisty 22. lety hoch ztratil parnet nasledkem toho, ze truchlil pro sveho otce ktery zesnul v eervnu 1981 a nyni kdy2 dedeeek nedavno byl ulolen po boku jeho otce, talc pohnula se mu mysl a on ztratil pamet, ze nevedel kde je a kdo on je. Kdy2 ho naali v pteklenute stoce tak policie v okresu Henderson nevedeli si s nim rady.

Koneene ale piece to vyna gli kdo je a pak ho zavezli k matte a sestram a tu on teprve poznal kdo je a je nyni spokojeny. Co2 kdyby byl nejak ptiSel o tivot v tom jeho bloudeni a rodina by ho ji2 byla nespattila? Aspon to pfece dobte dopadlo. Nektere ptipady takove neskonei vidy dobte a je to smutne.

Bylo me teeeno, Ze v nedeli byl ten obed a to divadlo na sokolovne a of zrana to nebylo zrovna nejlep g poeasi, piece pry naySteva byla uspokojici a obed velmi dobry. Take pry filmy byly zajimave a talc se to pry vydatilo. Take poblite nas sin KJT mela obed, meng program se zpevem a pro deli bylo hledani velilconoenich vajleelc. Slunce pred tfm vzeslo a tak take se to yydatilo pi-i trochu rnen g naySteve.

Kdy2 nekdo neco nekde potada tak jiste si zaslouii aby se vSe vydatilo, te?

stoletemu v-STrod. smrti Frant. Matou§e Klacela.

K

Filosof, spisovatel a basnik Franti§ek Matou§ KI6cel se narodil na eeskomora yskem pomezi v Ceske Ttebove 7 dubna 1808. (Vet§ine etenatil je jiste znamo, 2e mestu Ceske Tfebove takika soused'. mesteeko Mora y ska Ttebova, na morayske strane Ceskomorayske Vysoeiny). Z obliby k rodnemu mestu 6eske Ttebove Klacel pouiil k sve literarni Cinnosti — jak tehdy bylo v mode — pseudonymu (krycfho jmena) Franti§ek Ttebovsky; pozdeji psal tai pod jmenem sveho ptitele 1u2ickosrbskeho spisovatele J. P. Jordana. — Lu Srbove (jmenem Wends to v Texasu) iiji v Dolni a Horn'. Lu2ici ktere oba pattily k eeskemu kralovstvi do 30 lets valky. Horni a Dolni Lidice se nachazi v nynej§fm VSTchod. Nemecku, severne od Ceskych hranic. Prime sousedstvf s Oechami a nadale kulturni styky ptedstaviltelri Luiickych Srbil zabranily totalni germanizaci Horni a Dolni Lidice na rozdfl od Polabskych a Baltskych Slovanu, po kterych zristaly v dne§nim Nemecku jen nazvy nekterych !nest a zemepisnych oblasti Mlady Klacel absolvoval sttedo§kolska studia na proslulem piaristickem ,gymnasiu v Litomy§li, kde pak studoval na tamej§i koleji v ramci umeni a humanismu filosofii.

Klacel se orientoval k hlub§imu studiu teto vedy vlivem profesora litomy§lske koleje Boniface Buzka, kterY byl stoupencem Bernarda Bolzana, ptedstavitele tehdejti filosofie, profesora a kaplana na prais ske universite. Bolzano byl po patnactilete Cinnosti v roce 1820 zbaven profesury jelikot pry v§tepoval v mysl tehdej§ich studentil hereticke nauky filosofu Fridricha von Schellinga a Fridricha Vilema Hegla. (Klacela potkal pozdeji podobny ridel.) Po studiu v Litomy§li Franti gek Matou§ Klacel vstoupil do augustinianskeho tadu a nadale pokradoval ye studiu filosofie v Brne, kde v roce 1833 byl vysvecen na kneze. V roce 1835 se stal profesorem filosofie ale brzy se dostal pro sve hegelovske nazory do konfliktu s cirkevnimi ptedstaviteli a byl v roce 1844 vyloueen z filosoficke fakulty.

Klacel ode§el pak z Brna do Prahy a potom do Libechova u Melnika, kde se stal vychovatelem. Jeho nekompromisnf nazory v otazkach filosofie ptispely k tomu, ie Romeficky biskup zatfdil, 2e tento nebezperiny hegelovec byl opet izolovan v Brne za klatternimi zdmi.

Boutlivy rok 1848, ktery ottas1 absolutismem a cenzrirou taktka v cele Evrope, smetl v Rakousku v§emocneho Metternicha a ptines1 ptechodne politicke uvolneni na rizemi rakouskeho cfsatstvi. Rok 1848 ptines1 zadostueineni i Frant. M. Klacelovi, ktery se horlive zapojil do politickych akcf smetujicich ptedevtim k rovnopravnosti Slovann v rakouskerfsi. Klacel byl—diky svym politickym schopnostem — Menem Narodniho vyboru v roce 1848 a tai i organizatorem Slovanskeho sjezdu. Proti germanizaenim snaham brnenskeho biskupa Schaffgotsche v ponerneenem Brne Franti§ek Matou§ Klacel zalo2i1 Narodni jednotu sv.

Cyrila a Metodeje jako sttedisko Ceske politicke prace na Morava. V tuto dobu byl tai redaktorem TYcleniku, ktery vydaval jeho ptitel Jan Oheral, a Mora yskych Novin, ktere vychazely v letech 1848-1852. V roce 1850 Klacel zalo2i1 k uskuteeriovani svych filosofickych idealu k zlep§eni lidske spoleanosti Ceskomora yske bratrstvo, jeho eleny se stalo mnoho yyznaenych lidi tehdejkho vetejneho 2ivota jako na pt. filosof Ignac Hanu§, vlastenecky lekat Jan Helcelet a znama spisovatelka Boiena Nemcova. Toto bratrstvo bohuiel nemelo dlouheho trvani jeliko2 bylo — stejne jako Klacelovy Mora yske Noviny i tada jinych publikacf a spolkii — trnem v oku znovunastolenemu despotickemu absolutismu, jeho ptedstavitelem byl smutne prosluly Alexander Bach (1813-1892). Tento privodce represalif proti nespokojencrim tehdej§ich narodnostnich, politickych i socialnich pomerri byl v boutlivem roce 1848 rakouskym ministrem spravedlnosti a pak v letech 1849-59 ministrem vnitra Rakouska-Uherska.

Tento antagoista idef rovnopravnosti na§ich ptedkri i ostatnich Slovanil v habsburskem imperiu ucinil behem 10 let rychly konec vtem nadejIm vedoucich einitelii eeskeho lidu ve spravedlive vyte§eni narodnich snah a tuieb obyvatelstva stare vlasti obnovenim absolutismu dle rad a pokynri v zakulisi naddle "panujiciho" Metternicha.

Bohem stale rostouci tyranie Fr. M. Klacel sepsal nekolik filosofickych rivah a tadu basni. Naddle psal tai Clanky do novin . a ptekladal rrizne knihy, ptedev§im z anglickeho jazyka. Nejvfce znamy z techto ptekladri je "Stryc Tomas neboli Obrazy ze 2ivota dernych otrokri v Americe." Klacel byl podobne jako Karel Havlfeek a jinf ptedstavitele eeskeho politicko-narodnostniho hnutf dobte obeznamen s americkymi pomery ptedevtim z popisu zku§enosti byvalych spolupracovnikri co se do Ameriky vystehovali. Klacel sdilel tyto poznatky jiti v roce 1849 s Bo2enou Nemcovou, znamou spisovatelkou slavne Babieky, s kterou byl ye velmi ptatelskem styku.
