Real Estate Loans During the recent Supreme Lodge meeting, the Supreme Lodge allocated over a million dollars to be invested in real estate loans to members. This sum was divided equally among the districts.

The acceptable securities are limited to owner residences and owner operated farms or ranches.

To qualify, an individual or spouse must have been a member of SPJST at least one year and if they do not have at least $25,000 of life insurance in force with the SPJST, they must be willing to purchase additional insurance to meet the $25,000 required amount. There are also other qualifying requirements

including income qualification, etc.

We will be happy to give full details to anyone interested.

The interest rate set by the Supreme Lodge for the quarter ending in September of 1982 is a 141/2% fixed rate. The maximum repayment term is 20 years. Our bylaws permit lending up to 75% of the appraised value of an acceptable security.

For additional information, please call me at the SPJST Home Office, area code 817-773-1575 or call your district director. The phone number of your district director is listed on the inside front cover of each Vestnik.

The Czech Ex-Students Association of Texas (CESAT) CHARLES' UNIVERSITY SEMINAR A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE "There is no place like home" is a familiar phrase we've heard on many occasions. Becoming aware of all of its implications seems so far removed from our everyday lives. When we experience many of its deviations in living in another country, the true meaning becomes reality.

Early in July fifteen American students and teachers of Czech were invited to a two-weeks seminar at Charles' University in Prague.

During our de-planing and checking through customs at Ruzyne Airport, all of us had anxieties; will our hosts appear to assist us with our luggage, who are we to expect, will they understand our plight, will they accept us as we are? In seconds, all of

our queries vanished into thin nothingness when we heard, "Ale, pane Souelcu, vitame Vas do stare Vlasti." The handshakes, the embracings, the pats on the backs and introductions, the armloads of pink carnations for the women brushed away all doubts. We were welcomed by good, loving and understanding hosts. There stood smiling Dr. Kouba, CSUZ assistant secretary, flanked by Dr. John whose piercing black eyes seemed to take command and Prof. Halu§kova: extended dozens of carnations in outstretched arms as her offering of friendship.

Thus began our first day of fourteen such days of expertly planned programs. Mornings were devoted to lectures by Charles' University Deans of Education.

SMILE AND WORK...

To smile and work and work and smile, To smile twelve times a day, Will take you over the stubborn mile; As you journey on your way.

To live, to love, to be sincere, To strive, yet feel at peace, Will drive away all kinds of fear Your troubles soon will cease.

To know that nothing matters much, If we but do our best, To look upon all trials such; As a challenge or a test.

To learn how little we do need, After all on this old earth, And then to stop the silly speed; And spend more time in mirth. ***

NOTICE NO Vestnik September 1 PLAN AHEAD Sunday, August 8 we traveled to Lodge No. 187, Round Rock to the Fall meeting of District II which convened at 2 p.m. and was adjourned promptly at 3 p.m. after being conducted very efficiently by District II Vice President Ronnie R,eiger. District II President D. I. Bohac could not be present due to an accidental injury he had sustained some time ago; quick and healthy recovery is wished to him by all The meeting had a very large attendance — about 180 adults and youth were present. Of course District II covers a very large territory -- from Round Rock to Lovelady to Temple, etc.

District II Director Henry Vitek made the SL report and also brought greetings from the SL body.

District VII Director Thelma Hrncir and District VII Rest Homes Director Eugene Hrncir were also present at the meeting.

District II Youth Counselor Frank Klinkovsky reported on Camp and the district's youth activities; he reported on a very successful camp.

There were 83 youth present at the meeting who went bowling for 1 hour right after 3 p.m.

Lodge No 29, Taylor will host the District II Spring meeting in March, 1983.

As these lines are being written the news has come over the radio that veteran actor Henry Fonda has died. He was a favorite of many people and your editor was one of his many admirers. There was an actor with a principle! More should follow in his footsteps! ***

A MUSICAL NIGHT TO REMEMBER Music, the universal language of mankind has been said to be our fourth greatest material want following food, clothing and shelter.

What better way to satisfy that want than through a family night dedicated to music.

The purpose of this family gathering is to learn to appeciate different types of music enjoyed for different reasons by members of a family. All ages should be encouraged to contribute and participate. Favorite record albums, tapes and sheet music can be collected.

Very young children should be encouraged to perform their tunes for the family on rhythm instruments such as paper and combs, spoons and pans or kazoos, harmonicas or any other musicmaker that can be dreamed up. Each family member should be allowed to play selections he or she especially enjoys. Remembrances of special events can be re-lived and related to one another. Songs of the past can be shared by parents with the children and might evoke memories of their childhood.

Those families lucky enough to have pianos, organs or guitars along with the musicians to play them might encourage a family sing-along.

Collections of hit songs published through the ages are available at music stores or can be searched for in family attics.

Music expresses personal feelings, personal identification with life and the world we live in.

Suggest that family members express their feelings with regard to the music of their choice. All should learn to appreciate and be considerate of the other's taste in music.

People who are in their 60s or older with good eyesight can help preserve their sight by performing a simple test recommended by the National Eye Institute: Once every day, look at something straight, such as a door frame or a telephone pole.

Cover one eye, and look again. Does the object still look straight? Now check the other eye. If there's a distortion or blank spot, see an ophthalmologist.

An estimated 190,000 people of late middle age or older suffer hip fractures each year The underlying cause usually is osteoporosis — a disease characterized by a weakened bone structure. To counter it, the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research recommends: Get plenty of exercise.

Eat calcium-rich foods every day.

Avoid cigarette smoking and large amounts of vitamins A and D unless prescribed by a doctor. To prevent falls, avoid unstable shoes. If necessary, use a walking aid. Make sure home is clutter-free and well lit.

Install safety rails in bathrooms and stairways. Discuss the potential use of estrogen-replacement therapy with your doctor.

The Alvin Community College Czech Class is happy to acknowledge the receipt of two very generous donations to our Czech Class Scholarship Fund. Lodge No. 3 of Farmers Mutual Protective Association (R.V.O.S.) of Arcadia sent a check for $100 and the Czech Heritage Singers of Galveston County sent a check for $150. We wish to express our sincere thanks for these two gifts which will go toward providing a scholarship for a qualified student enrolling in the Czech language class at A.C.C. this fall. From our own experience we know the members of these two organizations worked long and hard to acquire sufficient funds to make such liberal contributions, and we are grateful for their generosity.

At this time we wish to correct an error in our letter which appeared in the July 21 issue of the Vestnik. We stated that the Czech course would be ' a 3-hour credit course, when in reality it will be for 4 hours of credit.

Once more, we would like to urge any student attending A.C.C. to seriously consider enrolling in the Czech class.

We are sorry to report that while Mr. William Souchek, instructor of Czech language at A.C.C., was attending a seminar at Charles University in Prague this summer he became ill and had to have medical attention. Upon his return to Houston he underwent surgery and is now recuperating at his home in Houston. All of us wish him a speedy recovery and hope he will be back to his normal, healthy self soon.

Fraternally, Faye Wilson, Sec.-Treas.

Dear Members and Friends: Woodrow Marek and Elmer Skrabanek led us in the Pledge of Allegiance at our last monthly meeting, Sunday, August 1. President Pechal asked the members to remain standing for a moment of silence in memory of Sister Ella Kovar of Kansas who had passed away in February but we were first notified of her death in July; may her soul rest in peace.

I would like to, again, notify our members that it would be very helpful if out-of-town people (and even local) would please notify us in case of death or even illness. We have no way of knowing if some member of the family does not let us know and we are, as fraternal brothers and sisters, interested in each and everyone of you.

All officers, with the exception of Willie Kohutek, financial secretary, were present and gave their respective reports. Adeline Kohutek sat in for Willie and gave his report for him; also all chairpersons were present with the exception of Charlie Marek, ticket chairman; Dorothy Pechal gave his report.

We welcome all these members and hope you can come attend our meetings and other functions.

Secretary Dolores Skrabanek read the correspondence which consisted of a thank you note from our neighbors east of us, Flag Hall, thanking our lodge for the use of coolers at their annual picnic; also a thank you note from the Gust Schaefer family for the floral arrangement. A letter was read from Frankie Klinkovsky asking the lodge to excuse the five teens and himself from this meeting and count them as present since they were at camp. Request was granted.

The audit report was read by Woodrow Marek in the absence of Frankie Klinkovsky, chairman.

Elmer Skrabanek read the Board minutes. President Jerry Pechal thanked everyone who attended the last workday which was in July.

Kohutek, Ella Macek, Charlie Marek, Frances Novosad (she passed away since the meeting) and Edwin Vasicek; also, since our meeting August 1, Robert Thompson was admitted to the hospital.

Mary Ann Billeck gave the Youth Club report. Their social for this month will be going to Wonder-land Park. Sounds like fun!

The maize harvest was in full swing at the time of the meeting and everyone who could was out in the fields trying to get the crops in just in case it should rain; we have had an extended drought in this area of Central Texas. However, since then we have had isolated showers; only about 8 miles from my home it rained 3 inches Sunday, August 8 and we got no rain at all where we live.

Our next meeting will be }icor' Sunday, Sept. Happy hour and lunch will follow -- you all come!

The officers of the lodge are holding a lit candle for love and togetherness for the past 9 very active years.

Lodge No. 88, Twenty-five youth club members helped make up the program at Lodge 74 during their Anniversary and July 4th Celebration.

These are some of Lodge 74 Youth Club Square Dancers: namely, Sherry Michka, Karen Daye, Jenifer West, Diana Fairchild, Scott Listiak, Eric Driskell, Craig Stone, Scott McKenney, who performed for the members and guests. (More pictures as space permits—Editor)

Letter to the Editor (The following newspaper clipping was sent by Sister Dorothy Smith of Lodge No 74, Lovelady. This speaks very well of our SPJST Society, and, especially, Lodge No 74. Your editor, especially and personally, appreciates the recognition given to the Czech Heritage by Youth Leader Linda Michka and the Youth Club.

My father and family used to travel to Lovelady to visit Mr. Esterak, one of the oldtimers, in a 1924 model T Ford —Editor.)

Dear Editor, I visited the SPJST Lodge 74 in Houston County for the Fourth of July. I want to congratulate the youth club and its director for

An Invitation To Lodge 84 Czech Fest In Dallas On behalf of the House Committee, we specially want to invite all our members to come and join us at the Czech fest, September 12th and look over some of our improvements we have done this summer.

The inside of the lodge has been repainted, including the Teen Room.

The cracks were patched or paneled before painting. Concrete has been poured along the back alley and the west wall to keep water draining away from the building; it all looks nice!

We also have installed emergency lights in case of power failure and replaced two exit doors with safety features. We hope to replace the two remaining exit doors in the near future.

We, are , very, thankful to our

having such a wonderful Fourth of July program.

The program was loaded with talent, patriotism and everything that honored the American Flag for that day.

Houston County should be proud of the SPJST Lodge 74 for teaching its youth patriotism and brotherly love. Children who take part in these programs do not become juvenile delinquents, but better citizens for tomorrow. We should thank the Lodge and its members for making this program available to its young people. So let us all support this wonderful, fraternal, benevolent and patriotic association.

Thank you, Mary Burgess Houston -SPJSTmembers, Brother George and Sister Martha Mandak and Brother Edwin and Sister Annie Petr for donating and installing new carpet inside the hall entrance; it is appreciated. The front entrance door was repainted by Brother Emil Petr.

We hope to see you September 12th; the doors open at 11 a.m. and dinner will be served at 12:30 p.m.

Houston Our dance Saturday night, with the wonderful music by Ray Jurecka's Orchestra, was enjoyed by a lovely group of members and guests. The dance was hosted by Pearl Hanka in charge and serving in the ticket office. Pearl is our Birthday Club chairperson for the third year and is doing a great job.

Rosalee Kostom took care of reservations and her husband, Tim Kostom, seated the guests; both are involved in many lodge activities and, Thursdays, both work on the Social Night. The famous twins, Irene Slovacek and her sister, Irma O'Conner, pretty and smiling as always, greeted the arriving guests.

In the lobby, Amos Kadlecek and his spouse, Della, were attending to the advance ticket sales for the Jan Garber dance for Saturday, August 28 with ballroom music. This is a dress code dance and guests are asked to comply with this rule of the night. If you wish for reservations for that dance, please call 869-5767 and Secretary Josephine Pflughaupt will gladly help you.

The annual Blue Room Party is scheduled for October 17, it is on a Sunday. This is usually an especially nice party to attend and enjoy refreshments, dinner and dance.

Make a notation on your social calendar and watch for the advance ticket sales. The tickets are usually available in the Blue Room. Our friendly bartender, Nat, will be glad to oblige. They are also available in the lodge office. Please watch for further announcements because that is one party you don't want to miss!

Brother Tom and Clara Jecmenek were thrilled with the visit of their granddaughter, Barbara Durtschi, of New York; they had the pleasure to enjoy Barbara for a whole week before leaving Houston. Barbara is the daughter of Catheline Durtschi who is one of the daughters of Tom and Clara Jeemenek.

Long-missed members and friends, Charlie and Hortense Faigl, who are now living in Brenham, Texas finally showed up at one of our lodge celebrations; I have not seen them in years. For this lovely couple, before retiring to Brenham, the lodge was their second home as it is for many of us, it was nice to see you both!

Saturday, July 31 Harry and Mickey Rice hosted Mickey's high school reunion class of "41". The gathering took place at their beautiful country place out of Sehulenburg, Texas with thirty 1941 classmates attending the party from 3 p.m. until? Everyone present departed for home with the promise to meet next year; knowing Harry and Mickey, both are grand people and perfect hosts.

Pearl Hanka visited her family: Arlene her only daughter and son-in-

law, Al Marshal, in Weimar, Texas, over the weekend. Granddaughter Susan is still at home and is a beautiful drum major for the band.

Her grandson, Joe Marshal, and his lovely wife, Pam, live in Spring, Texas. Joe is in the Administrative Department in the Northwest Medical Center, and his wife, Pam, is a Special Education Teacher. Her third grandchild, Karen, is married to Larry Hernandez and their son, Shawn lives in Waco, Texas. Granddaughter Karen is a radiologist in the Hillcrest Clinic and her husband, Larry, keeps the airplanes in the air; he is an expert airplane mechanic.

No wonder Pearl is a proud mother and grandmother!

Betty Bravenec had quite a share of pains, lately: First, about three months ago she broke her ankle and hobbled along on crutches and with a cast up to her knee; she is alright now but once in a while she feels it.

July 8th she was confined in the Northwest Hospital for two days to go and have an eye implant. Betty is a brave lady she just grinds her teeth and keeps going. Betty and her husband, Frank Bravenec, reared one son, Frank C., now married to his lovely wife, Jean; they presented them with one grandson and one granddaughter. Frank and Betty attend many of our Saturday night dances.

Our lodge meeting Monday, August 9th had a fair attendance with three guests, Albina Hilsher, Victor Gerlich and Marie Anders.

Sick members reported were Agnes Pederson at home now after a stay in Heights Hospital, Birdie Pech was reported to have an injured knee, Frank Hanka was reported to be in the hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas for tests, and William Souchek, Czech Instructor, back from a 4-week vacation in Czechoslovakia, entered St. Luke's Hospital for tests. To these and all other ailing members, we wish a speedy recovery!

Wedding anniversaries this month were for Emil and Emily Bily, 42 years; Melvin and Elsie Post, 40 years; William and Pat Neskorik, 19 years; and Arnold and Naomi Spencer, 5 years. The refreshments, after the meeting, were donated by celebrants Emil and Emily Bily to enjoy with the cold cuts furnished by the lodge.

Before the meeting closed, Chairman of the Board Royal Warnesch called the board members to lineup in front of the stage and then called Joe Elzner, past member of the Board, to come up front to be presented with a beautiful inscribed plaque for Joe's faithful service to the lodge and as a Board member for many years. Brother Joe, as Honorary Board Member, received a standing ovation by the assembly.

Congratulations!

Fraternally, Frances Olexa -SPJST-

UNIVERSITY SEMINAR((ontinued from Page 1) Daily, after lunch, sightseeing trips to Hradeany, Tabor, overnight tours to Ceske Budejovice and VyMi. Brod were highlights of the important places visited.

The list of activities seemed endless. Beyond each corner beckoned another new sight, the last flight of ancient stone steps revealed intrinsic art treasures and cultural programs completed our evenings.

Our well-planned course of intructions and experiences had to end. It all could have gone on and on.

There is one important thing we shall remember — we heard natives speak the Czech language day and night.

After the second day even the least prepared student began to speak Czech. That well-known musical tempo and arrangement of words displaced our 'American Czech'. The days of our training drew to a close.

Some remained to register for Czech classes, others returned home to the stark realities of earning a living at various jobs, but all bid heartfelt good-byes to all who made our experience a reality.

We are all back at home now vowing to return again someday to learn more Czech and to visit the land of our forefathers.

YOUTH SECTION YOUTH ACTIVITY CALENDAR STATE COMPETITION State YAD — Aug. 22nd, Temple High School State Royalty — Sept. 18th, Lodge 177 Academy. Music by "American Sunrise".

Nick A. Morris President and Head of the Youth Dept. ***

FROM THE HEAD OF THE YOUTH DEPARTMENT STATE YAD-SUNDAY, Aug. 22, 1982 TO: All Concerned This year's State Youth Achievement Day (Talent, Arts and Crafts, and Beseda) promises to be another big day and milestone in the history of the Youth Department of the SPJST. If you are a contestant anything, be sure that you register in time or are in line before registration time is over. We are allowing more time for registration this year, but your cooperation is necessary because the people in charge of registration must then move on to other jobs. (The schedule for this day follows this report.)

Please do not put your craft in the display area until after you register.

The lobby for the display is rather spacious where you will be able to wait with your craft until you are able to register. If you have a large craft or several crafts to enter, get your relatives or friends to help you ahead of time. We will again have large signs designating the various craft areas.

Contestants in talent are asked to announce their own selections, but NOT names, lodges, or districts.

Remember that microphones will not hurt you so step right up so that you can be heard.

If possible, get your scrapbooks to your DYC or get them to the YAD during registration time.

We hope you and your club and your district are represented at this State YAD. Do not let them down. If you can't come, be sure to inform your DYC so that your alternate or second place winner may represent your district.

Breaks will be spaced according to number of participants in the contest.

Important reminder to all: Please read or re-read ALL rules concerning all competition. Refer to the current rule book (Revised June 1, 1981).

See you at Temple High School on August 22nd! It is situated on North 31st Street, which runs parallel to IH 35. Traveling north or south on I 35, take the Temple (or Adams Ave.) Exit and go north at the first traffic light, which is 31st St. The building is a large modern, brick structure, very prominent and easy to find.

There is a huge parking lot adjoining.

There are motels in the Temple area offering nice accommodations if you plan to stay overnight either before or after the State YAD. We plan to be finished by approximately 5 p.m. We ask your cooperation. See you in Temple on Aug. 22nd! While you are thinking about

Basically, the problem has been with the announcement of a winner or winners, only to find out later that the announcement was made incorrectly or on the basis of incorrect information. All DYCs and members of the Supreme Lodge have been notified of this procedure.

The decision on this matter was discussed and approved in the July 1981 Supreme Lodge meeting.

1) At District YADs, the first and most important step that is to be taken by the presiding DYC is when the tabulation results are brought forward to be announced that a recess be declared of however length necessary to double and triple-check the results to make sure that the results are correct and mainly that the announced winners are correct. This can easily be accomplished by asking the tabulation overseer to step to one side with the DYC and very quietly going over the results and verifying them. After this has been done, and only then, are the winners announced.

2) It will be publicly announced that any challenges or questions about the results must be made within 30 minutes after the results are announced. If the results are questioned or challenged, the DYC and the tabulation overseer will retire quietly to an area (room) by themselves without showing the score sheets or the tabulation results to the person or persons challenging the announced winners.

No one will be allowed in the room with these two individuals. After they have verified the results, they will then come out and tell the individual(s) that the results as announced are correct and will stand. If an error is discovered at this point, a complete explanation will be given to the challenging or questioning party and the DYC will then immediately go to the microphone and announce the discovery of the error and make a corrective announcement. After 30 minutes, or after this second step, whichever comes first, both the tabulation and score sheets will be destroyed. It is emphasized that the challenging party is not entitled to see the score or tabulation sheets, but does have the right to question the accuracy of the announced winners. In other words, after the challenge has been made all figures will be re-checked to see that they are in conformity with the announcement dust made, and if not, corrective steps will be taken then and there.

This should prevent the embarrassment and disappointment of having the award or crown taken away from the winner and giving it to another. This is embarrassing and disappointing to say the leaseEvery attempt should be made to overcome the excitement, emotion, and pressure of the occasion to make

sure that everything is in order. The audience will not object to this delay if they know what the delay is about.

(The above has been included in the guidelines and checklist prepared for the DYCs and other concerned individuals.)

Fraternally, Nick A. Morris President and Head of the Youth Dept.

Tak Vaelicos Houdkova.

Minuly tyden nam sem ptigel Ringling Brothers a Barnum-Bailey cirkus a v utery ptedstaveni tak jeden mlady hoch jmenem Gino Farfan 18 lety mel pak udelat zylagtni kotrmelec ye vzduchu a pak ho mel chytit jeho otec Armando. Nejak negfastnou nahodou hochovi ruka ujela a vrazil do otce a pak z vysoka spadl na zem a vain se poranil, nebot' ma pry krk zlomeny na ttech mistech a naleza,' se v Baylor nemocnici. Tam tekli, ie nerd paralyzovanY ale kdo vi jak bude dale a zda bude moci provozovat male ty "kumgty". Cirkus jit zase tento tyden odjitcli dale a tak nerim, zda jeho rodiee pojedou s nim a hocha zde zatim nechajl ei co. Je to jiste nebezpeene zamestnani, tie ano?

Zdej gi velko-obchod NeimanMarcus prodaval v Kalifornii veci vyrobene ze zvitat jako tteba kabelky tenske a sttevice z krite krokodYla a hada pythona a tamnf vlada pokutovala obchodni firmu pet tisic dolard pokuty, pet tisic dolard zaplatit pravnikovi a tisk sedm set osmdesat spoleenosti zvane Fish and Game za patrani, a dal gich 15 tisic rozdelit mezi nektere spoleenosti ktere trvajf na tom, aby se zvitata chranila. Tak jim ten prodej dopadl velmi draze a jiste si day podruhe pozor.

Minuly tyden zase nag Dallas mel trochu rozru geni kdyt u jednoho domu v severni easti delnici se strojem kopali zaklady pro koupaligte a jeden nahodou ptesekl plynove potrubf a pak zamestnanci od Lone Star plynove spoleenosti a hasiei museli honem do prace to spravit, cot vzalo jednu a pal hodiny. Mezitim ale obyvatele domovy kolem toho mista museli byti vystehovani jelikoti byla obava, te plyn mute vybuchnout.

Celkem 11 domovn. se muselo vyprazdnit, ale v ge dobte dopadlo.

Jen jeden zamestnanec od plynove finny byl ptemoten a jeden hasie take a jinak to bylo dobte. Take dole ve meste kopali zaklady pro novou budovu telefonni spoleenosti a zas take nejak pohnuli nejakym potrubim a voila zaeala stilkati v gude a z jedne budovy museli pumpovat vodu. Toto take dobre dopadlo, ale tet to mohlo nadelat §kody. Opatrnost ma vtdy byt. Z tech 33 zateenYch Irand, pry 18 jich pti vyslechu byli obtalovanf, viibec nemeli u sebe zadne prdkazy ktere mohly povedit &Mum, zda jsou zde zakonite aneb ne.

Dva z tech zateenych byli yzati do nemocnice kdyt si stetovali, tie mail bolesti v btige, ale tam pry vyna gli, ie jim nic neschazi a byli vzatl zpet do vezeni.

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.
