Dear Members: Now is the time for all of you to check the dates on your calendar and make arrangements for your summer and fall outings. There is one special date on the calendar which you do not want to overlook, and that is Sunday, September 18th.

That day, brothers and sisters, is the day of the Lodge 51 bi-annual picnic.

That is the day when we all get together, exchange greetings, discuss the times of the "Good Ole Days" and the times of the present modern day age. It is the day when you meet your fellow members whom you haven't seen for perhaps two or more years.

All members will be notified of the date of the picnic in August, and we will also enclose a card which you can return to us giving us the information as to the number of people who will be attending. The meal will be catered and we will need to know the exact number who will participate in the noon meal.

At the last meeting a schedule has been set up to allow the members to help reimburse some of the expenses of the picnic. The following schedule has been set up: Each member over 4 years of age will be asked to donate $1. Members of a household where an active member resides, will be asked for $2. Guests will be asked to donate $5.

All members who do not pay any local dues to this lodge will be considered as "GUESTS" and will be asked for the same charge as the guests. However, any member who does not pay the local dues, may pay hi s ., 1 .0c3.4-tiPP,s , for,!Mq

Brother and Sister Sefcik should be commended for the many hours they have spent cleaning the hall and keeping the grounds. This is no easy task and is greatly appreciated by the members. Also, many thanks to Sister Mona Zahirniak and Sister Maxine Sefcik for painting inside the hall.

Sokol Gymnastic Association of West will hold an Old Fashioned Fourth of July Picnic at the hall July 3rd. There will be food and entertainment.

This brings to mind the good `ole' days when the Fourth of July was celebrated over a 2-day period with a very large gathering, food, games, political speeches and a dance. I remember, as a youth, how I looked forward to this event all year.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday.

Someone with a birthday in April, May or June will win a birthday cake baked by our June baker, Mildred Bolech.

The Entertainment Committee will provide entertainment following the meeting.

We will also be honoring several 50-year pin recipients and their families. We have received word that a member of the Supreme Lodge may be on hand to present the pins.

Our supper this year will consist of the famous Mount Olivet stew made by Donald Zabransky and Willie Zissa. We are asking members to bring a side dish and/or dessert; all the drinks for the afternoon and supper will be furnished by the lodge, eating utensils and bread will also be furnished.

Members, come out and help make this our best supper yet. Let us all come to honor the 50-year pin recipients and to enjoy the fellowship that is always evident in Sweet Home.

Announces 4th of July Picnic

Lovelady

Our regular monthly Lodge 74 meeting was held June 13 at 7:30 p.m.

President James Wilcox opened the meeting and Vice President Andy Fowler led the assembly in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Secretary Creola Wilcox called the roll and all officers were present, but only two trustees were present; namely, Chester Shmoldas and Hughie Smith.

If you are a member or officer and don't attend the lodge meetings; you

don't have the right to complain about the affairs of the lodge. We encourage all of the approximately 1,200 members of Lodge 74 to attend some of the meetings some of the time and voice your opinions because this is your lodge if you want it to be.

The big topic of the evening was our 10th anniversary and Fourth of July celebration to be held SUNDAY, JULY 3rd. Our regular Saturday night dance will be as usual; music will be provided by Don Price and the "Hard Country" band.

SUNDAY, JULY 3rd, the lodge opens at 2:30 p.m., youth program from 4 to 7 p.m., dance from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m., with music by the Silver Dallas band. Admission for dance and dinner will be $3 for member or guest (12 years or older); $1.50 per child's plate under 12 years.

We extend our invitation to everyone to help us celebrate our 10th anniversary.

We hope to have live music from 3 until 4 p.m.; we're just a little late getting a commitment from the band.

For a bit of amusement I have to relate this incident: If you happened to pass our lodge a few weeks ago and saw Chester Shmoldas and Hughie Smith on top of our lodge building waveing frantically; well, they weren't just being friendly they were asking for help. The dedicated members they are, they were repairing some leaks on the roof when a puff of wind came and blew their ladder down; they thought they were stranded for a while, but they were rescued by a neighbor and we all enjoyed a few laughs over the incident.

Our guests for the meeting were Leia and Joe Nemecek of Corpus and Faye Rico of Victoria, a member of our local lodge; Faye is the grand daughter of Bro. Monta and Sister Mildred Foster.

Being there was no new or old business to discuss and no report from the convention committee since they are taking a couple of months break, the meeting was adjourned at 8 p.m.

Guests in the Home of Bro. Jerry and Sister Milly Elzner were her sister and brother-in-law, Helen and Chuck Varro of Cleveland, Ohio.

While here they made side trips to Mexico and San Antonio and they also made the big dance at Sokol hall Saturday, May 21st. Also visiting the Elzners was their son Larry of Shreveport, La. (Sister Varro is a member of Lodge No. 79.)

Lodge The Saturday night dance (our annual Hawaiian entertainment) was with music by The Hawaiian Echoes and lovely hula dancers performed for our guests at halftime. It was a very pleasant sight to view the bright colored gowns worn by the ladies with matching shirts worn by their escorts. It was an array of bright colors all through the lavishly-decorated Chandelier Ballroom. The entrance to the ballroom held an arbor of flowers for the guests to pass through. The attending committees for that night also were dressed in Hawaiian style to blend in with the surrounding atmosphere. In charge of the dance was Rita Alexander; the box office was attended by Irene Slovacek.

Greeting the guests at the door were Erna O'Conner and Earline Hoffman. In the lobby colorful luaus were given to the arriving guests by Rosalee Kostom and Edna Wehring.

Sister Annie Green entertained guests for a week from Littleton, Colorado; namely, her niece, a lovely lady, and her friend, Jack Shortridge who were enjoying refreshing drinks in our cozy Blue Room.

Pearl Hanka, president of our Birthday Club, took off on a 10-day leisure vacation with her daughter, Earline, and son-in-law, Al Marshal, and granddaughter, Susie, and her

Wednesday, June 22, 1983—VESTNfK/5 friend, Larry Seydler. The five took off from Weimar heading for the west coast and traveled through six states enjoying beautiful scenery, especially in Colorado, the horse races in Ruidoso, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah. On account of the stormy weather, with rains and tornados, they explored less than they intended to. They spent several days in Las Vegas in the city of chance where Pearl and Larry experienced exceptional good luck (you must have picked up what I invested). We missed Pearl the first Wednesday at the Birthday Club but she was back the second Wednesday for our meeting to occupy her chair; the sisters were glad to have her back.

After working hard at cleaning the mess left by the heavy rains and the tornado, Homer and Rita Alexander took off to Lakeway on Lake Travis to relax and rest for few days and forget the previous terrible days with uprooted and broken trees which had to be picked up and carted away; now they were here and will relax and while relaxing, again they became grandparents with the arrival of a new granddaughter, Carrie Elizabeth Alexander, the first born after twelve years of marriage to son, Dennis, and wife, Kay - Alexander.

The lovely young lady arrived May 24, 1983 at St. Joseph's weighing 9 lbs. and 3 ozs. Congratulations!

Susan Schenburn met with a serious car accident coming home from work and it happened about four blocks from home. The car is completely demolished and she is lucky to be alive. After several days in the hospital and having surgery on her feet and toes she was released and, to my amazement, she is back at work using crutches to get around; at the hospital they have her doing desk and paperwork.

Mary Schenburn, her mother, drives her wherever she has to go. Glad you are getting better!

Congratulations to proud grandparents Frank C. and Betty Bravenec on their talented granddaughter Phillis Bravenec, the daughter of Frank R. and Jean Bravenec. Phillis Bravenec of Spring Branch recently received the Diamond Shamrock Oil scholarship at Stephen F. Austin State University. She is a senior accounting major at SFA. Phillis is a member of Beta Alpha Psi, national honorary accounting society. She is also a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, national honorary business fraternity, and Omicron Delta Epsilon, national honorary economics society. Miss Bravenec is a 1979 graduate of Spring Branch High School.

We were so honored to have Supreme Lodge Vice President Gebala as our guest. He gave a very enlightening talk on Fraternal Organizations and what they can do in the way of Trustees making rules and regulations and also on the Bylaws Committee.

He presented a plaque and a money clip to Father Bilski for his 25 years service at the VA Hospital and to all of Temple.

Father Bilski then gave a talk on his joining the SPJST. He stated that it is a service organization and does not exclude any nationality. He told us of his becoming a priest to serve his fellow man. He said he had met thousands of people and that he has many, many friends of all races, creeds and color. He also told of a Lutheran boy, just 16 years old, that he had counseled with for 3 months and also of -numerous others of various religions and organizations he has worked with.

Vice President Jezek asked Vice President Gebala about what different organizations are doing?

Vice President Gebala of the Supreme Lodge said that SPJST lodges are working with abused children. This is a situation that all persons and organizations can get involved in; it is an alarming situation. More and more children are being abandoned, neglected and abused sometimes to the point of death. It has gotten to the point

6/VESTNiK—Wednesday, June 22, 1983 where all persons need to be concerned and do whatever they can to put a stop to this hideous crime.

Vice President Gebala gave some very good points on what we, as a lodge, can do for these children.

He then presented a lovely plaque and a huge red Devil's Food sheet cake that had the inscription, "25 years" on it to Father Bilski, for his 25 years of service as a priest.

Everyone enjoyed the cake. It was delicious.

We thank our guests very much for being with us and for the great talks they gave.

So until next month, I remain Fraternally yours, Shirley Cantu, Reporter

News From Lodge 183, Mid-Cities

Update

Dear Members: The June dance is now history; there was a small crowd but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The music by Melody Masters was very good and kept everyone dancing all night.

Our next regular dance will be July 9 with music by the "Last Call" playing country and western numbers; hopefully at the new lodge hall, located at 3100 Pleasant Valley Lane. However, call one of the officers first before going there to be sure it will be complete for the dance!

The Building Committee has been busy the last few days getting everything in order so you members can have a good time at your new hall. Dedication and openhouse celebration will be July 30th, so mark your calendar for that Saturday and be there. There will be time for socializing and inspection beginning at 3 p.m. and, at 4 p.m. dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremonies, dinner to be served from 5 to 9 p.m., and music for dancing to begin from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., with music by three great bands; namely, The Rejcek band and Melody Masters both of Ennis, and Panther City Polka Boys from Fort Worth.

Lambert Pustejovsky needs some help in preparing the meal for the Grand Opening and to serve the meal, so call Lambert at (817) 2750647 and ask how you can help; in this way all of you members can get involved with the new lodge hall.

Daniel Roznovsky will also need help in greeting people at the door and with ticket sales and other things to keep everything going smoothly, so give Daniel a call and tell him what you can do.

Inez Greenlees said she is so happy about the new lodge hall that she would sing a song, if every member of Lodge 183 came to the Grand Opening, but, remember members, this can only happen if everyone of you members show up July 30th, so mark your calendar and be there.

Head of the Youth Department IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL CONCERNED Point System Clarified In a few instances, there seems to be some confusion about the earning of points under No. 7 on p.

2 of the current Youth Rule Book which states, "Each completed contest, project or function or Vestnik project. Vestnik project points may vary each month."

It has long been understood that the contests referred to in Item No 7 pertains to those contests relating to and sponsored by some level of the SPJST, either lodge, district, or state. Points are not earned by participating in an activity sponsored by a local church or another organization in the community, even if an individual or a number from the local SPJST lodge attend as a group. For example, attending an ice cream social sponsored by a local church

8/VESTNIK-Wednesday, June 22, 1983 and attended by an individual or a number of the local SPJST youth club members cannot possibly earn points under our Point System.

Likewise, a meeting or activity sponsored by the local 4-H Club, Boy or Girl Scouts, or other similar organizations by an individual or a number of youth from the local SPJST lodge cannot be counted as having earned points under our Point System. The whole intent of No. 7 is to give points for those youngsters competing in an SPJSTsponsored contest, activity, project or function; in other words, it must somehow relate to or be sponsored by the SPJST. To do otherwise would be counter-productive and defeat the purpose of having a local SPJST unit.

As in the past, points will continue to be earned when a local SPJST youth group attends activities such as going to the movies, skating, Six Flags, pizza parties, concerts, circus, Ice Capades, educational trips and tours, and so on and so on. Also, points will not be earned for trivial contests which involve little or no talent or skill, such as a bubble gum contest, Tootsie Roll contest, Lifesaver contest, M&M contest, walking-a-straight-line contest, candy bar contest, peanut-chewing contest and other such meaningless, no-skill activities.

There will be no exceptions and those claiming credit for activities other than as outlined here will not earn points, or if already reported as such, will not be given credit. To put it another way, they have to earn these points within the framework of the SPJST Society, not another organization or other group. In order to "draw a clearer picture", this will be further delineated and spelled out in the new Youth Rule Bodk whenever it is printed, although as I said, most of you have always understood what was meant by this provision.

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

LODGE NO. 186, CALDWELL TO HOST DISTRICT I YAD Dear Readers: I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Supreme Lodge officers, members and friends to our District I Youth Achievement Day. Lodge No. 186 Caldwell will host this event. Brother Gloyna from Lodge No. 186 would like to invite everyone out for the noon meal. It consists of either fried chicken or sausage with new potatoes, green beans, dessert and coffee or tea.

Adult plates will be $4 and child plates will be $3.

All of the youth have been working very hard on their craft, talent, and royalty speeches. I am very proud to announce that this will be the first year District No. 1 has ever had a Beseda circle. In fact we will have both a Junior and a Senior Beseda circle. These 16 youth have worked very hard and put in many hours practicing this Czech dance.

Dear Youth Club Members: The following Vestnik project is the first project of the youth year. In order for all youth club members to earn additional points, we have put together forty slogans from advertisements with which all of you are familiar. This is an entertainment type project that all who participate will enjoy.

The 1983-84 youth year is under way. Many activities and programs have been scheduled.

We, in the Youth Department, are working on all activities, District and State YAD, Camp and State Royalty. Many hours are going into the planning and scheduling of these activities. Every effort is being made to make this youth year "better than before in '84".

All of you have an exciting, fun-filled youth year ahead of you. We wish you the best in each task, activity or event you participate in.

Fraternally, Jann Wilson State Youth Director ***

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR DISTRICT II YAD The District II YAD will be held Sunday, July 17, 1983 at Lodge 24, Cyclone. Let us all be sure to get this date marked on our calendars.

The date has changed from previous years. We hope all of you will make plans to attend the YAD because it is the largest function held in our district during the year. Everyone is invited!

Youth Club members still have time to register for these contests and, if you have not decided yet, please do so because there will be many prizes available for you and someone will get them. Each youth may enter four craft items as long as they are in a different category; namely, individual talent, group talent and royalty. In royalty, you must meet age requirement.

Deadline for the entry blanks for YAD is June 27, 1983, so let's get busy and compete.

The leaders and assistants will get individual letters advising them where they will be asked to help out on this busy day and we hope all of you can help.

Judges are now being asked and still needed, so, if any of you know of a qualified person who would be willing to help us by being a judge for this YAD, please call me and I will contact them. We are expecting a good turnout.

Recently, someone asked where Lodge 24, Cyclone is located. I will try to give you the directions: Take Highway 53 out of Temple going east, go about 11 miles and Highway 53 curves to the left; just at this curve, take the road straight ahead and go about 1/2 mile, turn right, and you will see the huge blue building

Wednesday, June 22, 1983—VRSTNiK/9 of SPJST Lodge 24 Cyclone's home.

I hope you can follow my directions.

The camp applications should also be getting filled out soon because they are due July 11, 1983; - but, due to our late YAD, I will accept them until July 17 which will be your final date to turn in camp applications.

We need chaperones, especially, for the teenage camp for August 3rd through August 6th. The camp dates are in the Vestnik, therefore, I will not repeat them. Many exciting events are being planned. We hope you plan and are qualified to attend camp this year.

Youth leaders/assistants and chaperones will have a pre-camp planning meeting July 19 at 7:30 p.m. at Lodge 20 in Granger; if possible, plan to be there. A covered dish meal is also planned and leaders are to invite chaperones who are going to attend camp from their lodge.

Let's all remember YAD is first and entries are due by June 27th! I hope to see you there.

RESULTS The District IV YAD was held June 5, 1983 at the Senior Citizen's Building in Seymour, Texas. The weather cooperated and the day was a beautiful day, so our attendance was good.

This year the Royalty made a change; usually, we have few contestants for king, however, this year we had three contestants for king and only one queen which was great.

In individual talent, we had four youth members and one teenager group.

For craft we had 10 youngsters and had 39 craft items. The crafts were all outstanding this year. This year I am hoping that we get all our crafts to state and come home with some trophies.

issued through La Grange area newspapers.

Unveiling and dedication ceremonies of the historical marker commemorating the founding and organization of the SPJST at the Fayette County Courthouse in 1897 will take place on the Courthouse lawn in La Grange at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 10th. The marker is an official State Historical Marker approved by the Fayette County Historical Commission and the State Historical Commission. Brief remarks will be made by President Morris, former Director John Kubena and son of one of the charter founders of the SPJT, and Walter Freytag, chairman of the Fayette County Historical Commission.

The general public and especially SPJST members across the state are cordially invited to witness the ceremonies. Invitations will also be

The historical marker commemorates the founding and organization of the SPJST and the First Convention of the SPJST, both held in the second-floor District Courtroom of the Fayette County Courthouse. The first organizational meeting was held December 28, 1896, when 25 Texans of Czech descent met for the purpose of organizing a new benevolent Society in the State of Texas. The First Convention of the new organization was held the following June 20th, 1897. At that convention the delegates selected the date of July 1st as the official date of organization of the SPJST. It is expected that the courthouse and the second-floor District Courtroom will be open for viewing for those who attended the ceremonies July 10th. Those interested should plan now to make the excursion to La Grange and witness this historic occasion — 86 years and 10 days after the SPJST was officially organized.

Mnozi chteli videt misto kde byl zasttelen president Kennedy a jeho pomnik a ostatni zajfmave mista. Nas starosta Taylor a jeho zastupci se postarali aby haste videli naSe mast° a tak busem vSechny provezli a bylo pry slySet, tie na.vStevnici byli velmi spokojeni. V sobotu meli jeste jednu schrizi a pak odjeli dornri a behem mesicri pry sestavi program pro ptiSti rok a take pry rozhodnou do ktereho hotelu katidY ptijde. Mnozi by asi chteli byt v torn hotelu kde president Reagan bude bydlet ale to jeste nenf rozhodnuto v kterem bude. Hotely pripravuji vse pro navStevnity kterych pry bude v 1984 velice moc a tak musime cekat jak se vse vyvine.

Tam ho vySettili a vynaSli, tie mel velke procento alkoholu — vice net je zakonem dovoleno — a tak nyni byl obvinen, tie jel v stavu opilosti. On tvrdi, ze opily nebyl a tie mel zachvat mrtvice. Svedkove kteff stall na ulici ho videli jak jel a tvrdi, tie jel velkou rychlosti. Byl obvinen a bude miti soud pozdeji. Mnozi Serifovi zarnestnanci byli chyceni kdyti jeli opili a byli souzeni a pak propuSteni — ale na Serifa to asi neplati, tie? On tyrdi, ze pobetii zase za Serifa a tie vi, tie vse mu projde. Tak budem videt, jak to dopadne.

Jelikoti je potad moc provozu tak mestska, rada by chtela neco zde zatidit, aby se to zlepSilo, jentie elenove rady se nemohou shodnout jake to ma byt a kudy to ma jit.

16/VESTNIK— Wednesday, June 22,1983

BEWARE Don't surrender your valuable whole life insurance policy without knowing ALL THE FACTS. The Heart of Texas Association of Life Underwriters has questioned certain sales methods being used to persuade people to switch their permanent, cash-value (whole life) life insurance to "deposit term" insurance.

The Heart of Texas Association of Life Underwriters vigorously objects to certain sales approaches to sell "deposit term" insurance to replace whole life insurance when those approaches are inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise mislead the public.

If you now hold a permanent, cash-value life insurance policy (whole life) and are approached about replacing it with a "Deposit Term" (also known as Modified Premium Renewable Term), you should demand a written statement outlining what guarantees are involved with the "Deposit Term" policy. You should then call your own life insurance agent or your life insurance company and ask for a comparison statement between your present whole life policy and the offered "Deposit Term" policy. Then make your decision on replacing — after you have ALL THE FACTS. To help you make an informed decision, single copies of a pamphlet titled "Demand to be Shown!" — published by the National Association of Life Underwriters — are available free on written request to the Heart of Texas Association of Life Underwriters, P.O. Box 338, Temple, Texas 76503.
