ASIJ's Weishuhn Signs Pact With Patriots

A special meeting was held on July 29, 1982 and Laraine Fitch was elected as financial secretary of Lodge 141.

Please forward all premium payments to the following address effective immediately.

Mrs. Laraine Fitch 161 Schluens Road Sealy, Texas 77474 Should any questions arise as to the premium payment amount due, please notify Mrs. Fitch or me.

Fraternally, Jerry Mikulas, Jr. Financial Secretary ***

The six-figure contract made Weishuhn the highest paid thirdround draft choice this year, Courrege said.

Courrege said NFL rules prohibit him from stating exact figures.

The Friday afternoon signing ended about six weeks of negotiations between New England and the Angelo State University Little All-America linebacker.

Courrege said the contract package includes salary for four years and a bonus. The contract does not include the standard NFL oneyear option clause.

The New England franchise has not announced the signing and probably won't until early next week.

Before the contract is official and New England announces the signing, NFL officials must approve the contract.

"It's a lucrative contract and I'm pleased," Courrege said. "Clayton is very pleased and thankful. I feel sure he's (Weishuhn) the highest paid third-round draft choice in this year's draft. He might be the highest paid third-round draft choice ever."

Negotiations dragged for weeks because Weishuhn is a third-round draft pick, who deserved a six-figure contract, Courrege said. Normally, third round picks don't receive sixfigure salaries as rookies, the agent said.

Courrege said only two of his other clients ever received more money. Those two players were University of Texas speedster (Continued on Page 9)

THE

'Editor" COMMENTS

WHAT HAVE WE DONE TODAY? We shall do much in the years to come, But what have we done today?

We shall give our gold in a princely sum, But what did we give today?

We shall lift the heart and dry the tear, We shall pl nt a hope in the place of fear, We shall speak the words of love and cheer; But what did we speak today?

We shall be so kind in the afterwhile, But what have we been today?

We shall bring each lonely life a smile, But what have we brought today?

We shall give to truth a grander birth, And'to steadfast faith a deeper worth, We shall feed the, hungering souls of earth; But whom have we fed today?

We shall reap such joys in the by and by, But what have we sown today?

We shall build us mansions in the sky, But what — have we built today?

'Tis sweet in idle dreams to bask, But here and now do we do our task?

Yes, this is the thing our souls must ask, "What have we done today?"

—J. M. Nead Brothers and Sisters, your editor wishes to call your attention to a serious matter that pertains to the planning on the part of the members to promote local and district undertakings; no one person or group of individuals can do all the generating of interest; it takes everyone's effort to make it possible.

Most of the districts (with the exception of districts which hold meetings only once a year) have announced their fall meeting dates.

District II begins with their meeting this coming weekend, August 8th, at Lodge 187 in Round Rock. The other districts will soon follow their affairs as planned by their officers and members.

Each member in any district is free to attend a spring or fall meeting and they also have the option of staying at home. If we decide to attend, we go for some definite purpose. We don't go just to be seen; we attend because we enjoy helping the organization.

True, we are free to fail.

Individuals have been free to join the SPJST or not to join. We had been free to organize one local lodge after another, regardless of whether it was practical, willful or spiteful.

We are still free to put out some effort or to sit by and let others work. We are free to tear down a lodge hall and build a stronger structure or watch it deteriorate.

Did it ever occur to you how important district meetings are?

District meetings are for the purpose of keeping one from failing completely. Perhaps this sounds like a strange reason, but we are holding these district meeting to discuss

how not to abuse our greatest freedom of all — the freedom to achieve or fail. One must understand that this freedom is a terribly important element to the future of the SPJST. No one wishes for district meetings to be a failure; however, it is the personal responsibility of every member to attend these meetings and to help formulate plans to improve our fraternal organization. It is time, for example, for most of us, to review, our small policy certificates on our young people and to have at least $20,000 to $25,000 worth of protection instead of $1,000 or $2,000; we must place our children in our programs just as we would place them behind the steering wheel of the family car.

Success or failure of the district meetings dates back to the district officers and their preparations for the meeting. Each district has elected their leaders to assume various responsibilities and it is up to them to stand within the bounds of the essential elements of leadership. We believe the members attending their district meetings will not be disappointed with the individuals who do not accept failure as a part of their character.

Good luck to all the districts and may success follow each and every member always! *** FAMILY TRADITIONS Webster says that traditions are customs, beliefs, etc. handed down from generation to generation. They are habits and activities that have developed in the family that bring a sense of history and joy and a special sense of love and spirit within the family.

Traditions can be gathering at Grandma's for that special Easter meal, Mom's homemade chocolate cake on your birthday or songs around the piano at a family gathering and the traditions of St. Nicholas and perhaps the tooth fairy.

GATHER THE FAMILY for a special occasion and have members list quietly those "traditional" things that have brought joy to them. Discuss those traditions and explore how they have developed.

Mom, Dad, and the Grandparents might provide interesting traditions that have carried over from their childhood. What brought them a sense of security and belonging?

Are there any that have been carried over to the present family group? Do some mean more than others? If so, why?

Discuss the possibility of developing some "new" tradition for family members. Perhaps creating a family diary, providing dinner for Mom and Dad on their birthday or wedding anniversary, gathering for a special religious service at your church or celebrating with family at local community holiday festivities could be tried. These gatherings could produce a more loving and thoughtful family.

Families that play and pray together — stay together. Use this resource to bring a new dimension into your family life.

LOCAL UNITS might develop and share traditional events also Anniversary dinners on the date of their chartering or an event to honor 25 and 50 year members could be established. Be an active, thoughtful fraternal family. ***

of Lodge 80 Monthly Meeting

Report

Dear Members and Friends of the SPJST: We held our meeting Sunday, July 11th at Holland, Texas.

The meeting was called to order

by Vice President Terry Bertrand at 2 p.m.

Members were asked to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance which was recited by, those present.

Roll call of officers showed all were present.

Minutes of the June meeting were read by Secretary Glen Latham; they were adopted as read.

We had one new member, Bobby Jones, accepted into our lodge.

Welcome into our ranks, Bob!

Tralaks were given to our handyman, Moran Burns, for keeping our hall yard nice and clean.

It was decided to update our rules and regulations for our hall at the next meeting.

We had the pleasure to have our President D. I. Bohac at the meeting for the first time since his recent accident and illness. He thanked all the members for the flowers, cards, and well-wishes.. He is slowly recuperating at his home. As we all know D. I. was a little on the heavy side, but the next time you see him you will think he is dealing with the "Figure World," folks because he has lost quite a lot of weight. The doctors got him on a (rabbit) diet (that's what I would call it); nothing but raw vegetables. We all have a feeling for Dan; he is a lover of all good things to eat, but that's doctor's orders. We are all praying and wishing for your full recovery.

After hearing the reports of the dance, kitchen and bar chairmen, the meeting adjourned until the first Sunday in August at 2 p.m.

Door prize winners were Isabella Kunz, John Barabas, Henry Balusek and Terry Bertrand.

Fraternally yours, Joe Barabas, Jr. Reporter —SPJST

Lodge No. 88 News Saturday night dance held July 24 with music by the well-liked polka orchestra of the VRAZELS had a very good and wonderful attendance and the happy guests had a great time dancing to the mixed tunes of the Vrazels orchestra. It was not a dress code dance, but I would think twice before I would attend a dance in washed-out jeans. The committee that night was Gus Urbanovsky in charge and in the box office; his spouse, Ann, with the help of Leland Hensley seated the guests while Dorothy Hensley greeted the arriving guests. The two ladies, And and Dorothy, wore lovely printed chiffon gowns. Ann Urbanovsky, besides helping her husband, Gus, at dances, is busy on Thursday social nights and serves on this committee for years.

At this dance six tables were reserved and lavishly decorated by the birthday celebrants spouse, Karen, to surprise her husband, Del Frazee, on his 30th birthday.

Present were his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Red; his sister, Mrs. Parker; and two brothers, Dan and Stephen Frazee. About 40 friends and families surrounded the celebrant and, in the middle of all this, a table was filled with delicious food and a large decorated birthday cake, "Happy Birthday"!

I was surprised by two unexpected guests, sBrother Alvah and Lillian Havekorn attending the Vrazel's dance. Lillian, dressed in a lovely gown the skirt of printed chiffon and top of white lace, looked very pretty. They came to enjoy the evening at the lodge. They have one son now married, Gary, who up to now, didn't make his parents, grandparents; so far they raise only pets, good luck!

News From Lodge 172, Pasadena Dear Members and Friends: Greetings to all of you from the members of our lodge!

Many of us prayed hard to have a few showers but not gully washers.

Our new lodge home construction crew can now continue on and not worry about wearing raincoats and umbrellas over their bodies while they are working. They are inside for sometime now and all of them are struggling so hard with their willingness to have the building looking better each day; some of the crew told us that they will have to be here for our first dance even if it has to be before the opening date.

They will be here to try out the huge floor to dance on and that this one in particular is one single story building for a lodge home that they have worked on is really the largest yet, that this building is magnificent and the prettiest, yet, to their knowledge, so you can see and believe it or not! Don't be shy and don't delay your being the last ones to sign up; call or ask any of us or anyone when visiting, i our lodge at anytime to join before, so come and be one of us tomorrow or sooner because next week may be too late because all of us are not getting younger; no kidding, we hope in our future days, we are going to be a great Lodge 172. We always are welcoming you to our lodge.

Our construction crew is getting ready to install the most comfortable chairs in the neighborhood that anyone can dream of, also padded (and that's no joke)! Our big new lodge home is nearing completion, and if you are riding around in Pasadena, stop by for your own curiosity and you will see it all and then, of course, surely you can decide for yourselves and sign up before our opening date, November 7th, 1982 Lakes place, which will be on a Sunday..

Well, as it is, we don't try to let all things be done by just a' few people, and all try and are close by with our hands out to help and not just stand around with our hands in our pockets; we also don't promise and then stay at home and say to ourselves: "Oh, well!" How can anyone prosper, with an empty promise; that's not to be that way! A promise is a promise being expected and don't be an Indian-giver and call back fora gift that, as yet, has not ever been bought.

We had Julius Tupa with his variety and country/western type of music Saturday, July 17 at the dance; those of you who weren't there surely missed some fine music

by Julius and his musicians. We had a good crowd of kind-hearted brothers and sisters, also dignitaries visiting and enjoying themselves from various places over the weekend. Saturday or Sunday are

the best off-nights to enjoy yourselves so if you have backaches or your bones are aching you, come to Lodge 172 in Pasadena, and you will feel no pain because you will be in our company of good entertainment.

We are always at your side to comfort anyone with the best of our hospitality. We invite you all to be with us and you will be in the best of hands at anytime while at Lodge 172.

At our Saturday night dance, the hosts at the door were our gracious Brother Monice and Sister Marie Green who have done a tremendous job and we thank them very much, also to those dear ones who helped them give a great lift.

Saturday night, July 24th was an overwhelming (a knockout) lodge dance at our present location, 911 East Shaw; the place was overloaded from wall to wall with dancers and it looked like people were here from all parts of Texas to dance to the music furnished by LeeRoy Matocha of Fayetteville.

One of our fraternal brothers, James Whitaker, had eye surgery lately but is at home now. We were indeed sorry to hear of such surgery; all of us wish him the best of health in the future with his eyesight.

We were also sorry to hear about a fraternal brother of Lodge 88, Brother John Ordner who had a bad run-in with a bunch of bumble bees while being on a tractor mowing grass; so sorry, John! We, at Lodge 172, do feel for your injury, hope that you are fine by now and OK, We have everyone in our thoughts in homes who are sick and we are wishing all of you a quick recovery.

To those who have passed on into their eternal rest and sleep, may God grant them peace. We have loved them during life, so let us not forget them in death.

Don't forget our lodge meeting and come each and everytime in a great number!

Fraternally yours, John T. Mikeska -SPJST--

Around The Corner At Lodge 183 Dear Members: I would like to remind you members of our next dance Saturday, August 14 at the lodge hall. Henry Rejcek Polka Band will be playing again so all of you polka fans come on out and do your thing.

Bring your friends and show them what a good time you can have at the lodge.

For the past two weeks I have been getting a good suntan while building a pole barn on my farm and I heard about a farmer whose wife was very critical of his grammar.

One evening he told her he would like for her to meet a friend named Bill.

"Don't call him Bill," she insisted, "Call him William." When the friend arrived, the farmer said, "Let me tell you a tale." "Not tale," the wife interrupted, say "Anecdote." That night, upon'retiring, the farmer told her, "Put out the light." "Not put out," she explained say: "Extinguish the light." Later in the night she awakened her husband and sent him downstairs to investigate a noise.

When he returned, she asked him what it was "It was," he explained carefully, "a William goat which I took by, its anecdote and extinguished it."

So, until we meet again, smile!

Worth Lodge 92 Schedules August 8th Meeting Ft.

Dear Vestnik Readers: Another month has slipped by and almost "completely slipped by" when I realized it's time to write in the Vestnik again.

The July meeting got off with a good start and ended that day.

President Albert Kubala opened the meeting with a smile.

Sister Christine Zich read the minutes which were approved as read. Sister Christine always does an excellent job; very few times do they need correcting.

The other committees also reported and all the reports were accepted.

Board of Trustees had the rest of the parking lot paved so now we have a lot of parking area; it looks real nice: we are proud of it. Our Board of Trustees are also a hardworking committee. There are

things for them to do all the time and they do it, too.

The youth were real proud of Staci Hubenak who won first place in craft at District III Youth Achievement Day and third place in talent. We all are real proud of you, Staci. Do it again, next year!

Our Manager Frankie reported all the rentals and dances he had going.

Frankie had an accident. He got his second finger from the thumb cut almost off on a lawnmower chain, so he wasn't too chippery. I know he was in pain. We hope it all turns out OK, and he gets well without trouble.

Victor Murphy missed the meeting. Someone told me she stayed home and had to cook for her grandchildren (boy, Victor are you behind); you take them out to eat nowadays, it is less trouble and they can order what they want like hamburger or pizza.

We had several new faces in our meeting: namely, Millie and Rudy Wrubble who came to see what's going on. We hope you enjoyed it, come again. Evelyn and Joe Zacek brought Joe's brother, Woody, to the meeting. We were glad to have him.

Our new members, Johnny and Bunny, came back and I noticed that Sister Marie, our kitchen chairlady, put Bunny to work in the kitchen with her. Bunny is her daughter-inlaw. Marie, you are a smart "cookie;" train her well!

I noticed a few of our members are standing around idle; Al Kercho is running around talking to all the ladies and doing nothing. I believe he could be put on some kind of committee. Sister Marie grab him!

He would look good in the kitchen; and also my good friend Liz is standing around. Good people are hard to find and I believe these two are good.

I had a very busy July; our son, Roger, had a birthday, July 18 and my mother had hers, July 17th. She is in a nursing home in Pilot Point, Texas. She is 83 years young and looks good. We celebrated her birthday by taking her to Ennis where she was born. We had a party at my cousin, Anna Verna's house.

We had a great time. Everyone was so nice to do this for mother. She was looking forward to seeing her sister-in-law Helen Jaresh and her nieces and nephews in Ennis. It was wonderful of you, Anna, for doing this. Thanks!

Our next meeting will be Sunday August 8th at 2 p.m. Everyone come and enjoy our meeting with us and afterwards have a good lunch and visit with us. See you August 8th!

Softball Team Lodge 84 Dallas Report

SPJST

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Another softball season has about ended for our team, the 29th consecutive season and one quite fruitful as well as, successful because we have added another trophy to our trophy case for a-3-way tie for first place _ins the DSMA City Fast Pitch Major League.

We tied for first place with the Texas Kings and with Duncanville; not a bad finish and our

Wednesday, August 4, 1982 VESTNfli/5 congratulations to the team of 1982, to Kerry Goad, the field manager; Ron Coker, business manager; and ole Ben, the team's business and financial manager. We had a good time and, most of all, to all the players: without them, we couldn't have won and a very fine group of young men representing our Lodge No. 84 and the SPJST Fraternal Society. I guess the team is somewhat taken for granted but, brothers and sisters, they had to play to accomplish this reward; also thanks for the wives of all the players, you are just as important and deserve all the same credit for your contribution.

Following are several games played which will conclude records of all our games played this season.

We were entered in the Fort Worth Tournament during the July 10th weekend and we played our first game Saturday morning against Trans-Con of Dallas and we came out on the short end of a 7 to 4 score. Lionel Schulz allowed 10 hits, 2 walks and 5 strikeouts. We had a total of 5 singles by Don Jarma, Tom Stites, Danny Yates, Jerry Zabojnik and Mark Vrana. We got on base via walks to Don Jarma, Tom Stites, Danny Yates and RBIs one by Mark Vrana, by Don Jarma and 2 by Tom Stites.

We won the next 2 games by forfeits and had a late afternoon game with the Strong Shepherd Air Force Base team and we lost 4 to 1; all of the 4 runs against us were unearned. Lionel Schulz hurled a very good game allowing 5 hits, 1 walk and 2 strikeouts and all 4 runs were unearned. We had a total of 8 hits, but all we could get home was 1 run.

Hitters were Tom Stites with 2 singles, Don Jarma had a single, Don Lennox also had a single, Danny Yates hit a single and a walk, Rick Fountain earned a single hit, Kerry Goad made a single and Jerry Zabojnik had a single and batted in our only run. We had stolen bases by Don Jarma, Tom Stites and Rick Fountain.

The Dallas City Championship Playoffs to determine a representative to the State Playoffs the weekend of August 7th and 8th were held during the weekend of July 17th and 18th. The top 6 teams in the City Major League will be eligible and we played our first game Saturday morning at 10 a.m. against Knight Construction. We won the game by a score of 3 to 1 behind the strong pitching of Lionel Schulz. He allowed 9 hits, no walks and 1 strikeout plus 4. unearned runs. The team played a very fine defensive,game.

Lealing hitters were Don Jarma with a single and a walk, Kgrry Goad also hit a single and had a walk, Danny Yates earned a single, walk and batted in the game-winning runs. Don Lennox had a single, Paul Bartos had a triple and a run batted in, Mark Vrana with a triple and Jerry Zabojnik made a sacrifice.

Saturday afternoon we played Trans-Con, after they played a 19inning game, in the winners' bracket. We led the game 2 to 0 for the first 6 innings and in their top of the 7th inning, they scored 3 runs and thus we lost by a score of 3 to 2 in a heck of a good game. Lionel Schulz hurled a fine game allowing 8 hits, 1 walk and no strikeouts.

Leading hitters for our team were Rick Fountain with a double and a single, Danny Yates made a double, and Jerry Zabojnik a single.

This was a heartbreaker to lose, for had we won, we would have had second place cinched and we found out the top 2 teams in our playoffs would qualify for State. By losing, it meant a 11 a.m. game Sunday against the strong Duncanville team.

We started our Sunday game by allowing 3 unearned runs in the first inning, however, we came back by scoring 3 runs ourselves, but, ultimately, they scored 4 more runs and we could only score 2 more for a final score of 7 to 5. Lionel Schulz pitched a fine game allowing 7 hits, 2 walks and 1 strikeout and 3 unearned runs.

Offensively, we had a total of 7 hits, Don Jarma had a triple, 2 singles and 3 RBI's, Paul Bartos made 2 singles and 1 RBI, Mark Vrana had a RBI, a walk and was hit by a pitch, Randy Christian had 2 singles and Danny Yates made 2 walks. By losing we finished in third place thus losing our chance to go to State.

After the conclusion of the tournament, we were told that should any of the teams, for some reason, not go to the State Playoffs, we would be the No. One alternate team to go, so there is still a possibility, although slight of our going to Bryan, Texas the weekend of August 7th and 8th; should we go, I will report this in the Vestnik.

In closing may we thank all our sponsors and our mother lodge and also the Supreme Lodge for their support this season: we are most grateful.

Our annual team fishing trip is scheduled for the weekend of September 10th, 11th and 12th to Lake Whitney and a team banquet will be held at a future date this fall.

IN MEMORIAM

Thursday afternoon, July 1, 1982, I was informed by my close friends, Adolph Sassin and Eddie Knapek, that Mrs. Christine Knapek had just passed away in a local hospital, following a long illness.

It was very sad news for me and many other inhabitants to hear that her generous heart had stopped forever. Her life was similar to other existing human lives that are inscrutable. To me, she was one of the most respectable persons in the society that I have in my mind.

Christine Knapek was born 4 December 1902 at West, Texas, the daughter of Joseph and Marie Bezdek. Christine and Eddie Knapek were united in holy matrimony 9 October 1928 in St. Mary's Catholic Church in West, Texas.

In 1937 they chose to move to Corpus Christi where Mr. Knapek selected to become a carpenter for his occupation and Mrs. Knapek chose to become a homemaker and dressmaker. Her cooking and baking were displayed for many years, not only in their home, but also at the public places (churches and halls).

I had the honor to receive her delicious baked goods several times including her poppyseed cake. She was a dressmaker, not only for herself and their children, but also for birthday and wedding dresses.

At the lovely Knapek home there were many meetings to plan programs for various occasions, birthdays, weddings, dances, etc.

They were leaders for wedding marches and funerals. Their home was also opened to make quilts; the last one was made for the Czech Heritage Society meeting, conducted Feb. 28, 1982 in the SPJST and Sokol Hall. All the names of the charter members are embroidered on it and tickets were sold on it.

Mrs. Knapek made a historical, memorable and valuable souvenir; the action speaks for itself. She will be missed in all organizations where she was engaged sincerely.

Sunday, July 4 at 7 p.m. rosary was recited with additional singing of some new songs accompanied on the guitar. (I attended the recitation at the Maxwell P. Dunne Funeral Home Chapel where there weren't enough seats for the attendance.)

Tribute to American Soldiers In Czechoslovakia On May 15 and 16, American Ambassador Jack F. Matlock paid tribute to the American army units that liberated Western Bohemia in 1945.

Accompanied by army attaché Col. Robert Piper and Lt. Col. Dennis Monroe, embassy counselor Martin Wenick and their families, the Ambassador visited Cheb (Eger), Kolovee, Litice, Vitejovice, Ka§perske Hory, SuSlce, Pole and Lnare. The Voice of America had given advance notice of their schedule so that in most of the places they were met by residents of the towns and villages. At each stop, Ambassador Matlock made an appropriate commemoration.

Speaking in Czech, he remembered the sacrifices of the American army and the great rejoicing of the population as they welcomed the advancing Americans.

In Cheb, Vftejovice, Pole and Lnate, Ambassador Matlock placed a wreath at the memorial in honor of the American dead. In Koloved he laid a wreath on the spot from which the plaque erected by the local inhabitants in 1946 had been removed. The Ambassador also stopped in Su§ice and Ka§perske Hory at the spot where once stood monuments to the Americans. The crowd cheered spontaneously when Ambassador Matlock said (in Czech) that memory of their brave deeds will live on, without any monument of stone or metal.

In SuAice, several hundred people had gathered at the town square to await the arrival of the American party. They came from far and near.

Several inhabitants showed photographs taken in May 1945 and later, of other American visits.

Apparently, some insurance companies assume bigness will be the key to their survival.

In our`opinion, that's a faulty assumption.

Witness the dinosaur. Being big didn't save him. In fact, it probably hastened his demise.

For the dinosaur grew too large for his limited brain. As a result, signals took too long to get from one part of the body to another. In the end, he simply couldn't respond quickly enough to change.

The real issue — then and now — is flexibility. Adapting to a changing, often confusing, environment.
