Scenes From The Chartering of East Texas Lodge No. 191 on July 24, 1983

Those who delivered remarks at the chartering ceremonies were, L l!} Lodge 191 President John Anderson, SL Secretary-Treasurer Leonard Mikeska, SFM, Lodge 191 Officers, L to R: President John Anderson, Secretary Sarah Oliver, Silas Smith, SL President Nick A. Morris, District V Director Louis Hanus, and Financial Secretary Gloria Sizemore, Treasurer Patsy Weems, and Vice District V President Tillie Helmcamp.(Allpictures by Joel Towers) President and Youth Leader Ken Carter.

REMARKS MADE AT THE CHARTERING CEREMONIES OF EAST TEXAS LODGE NO. 191 IN THE CIVIC CENTER 'IN LUFKIN, TEXAS ON SUNDAY, JULY 24, 1983 Supreme Lodge President Nick A. Morris: Inasmuch as a short history of how Lodge 191 had its beginnings and came into existence appear in the program brochure that you were handed as you came into the building, I will not dwell on that and repeat any of that information, but I will include it in the coverage of this event to be published in the Vestnik for a permanent record of the events of this day.

In mid-1979 Bro. Chester Shmoldas, active sales representative in Lodge 74 Lovelady (Crockett), wrote Supreme Lodge President Morris a note asking him for the assistance of State Field Manager Silas Smith in organizing a new SPJST lodge in Lufkin in Angelina County. Silas Smith traveled to Lufkin and he and Chester Shmoldas met with approximately 45 prospective members and brought back 4 applications-3 for the new lodge and 1 for 7 4 Lovelady- not an overwhelming response, but a modest beginning, nonetheless. The occasion was an instruction night in polka dancing.

About the same time, contact was made in the Home Office about Jerry Sizemore becoming a sales representative in the new Lodge 191. SFM McBride went out and

trained Jerry as a sales representative and he has written the big majority of new members into this lodge, with some assist­ ance in the very beginning by Chester Shmoldas.

By April 11, 1983 Bro. Sizemore had written approximately 24 members and those members were present when SFMs Smith and McBride traveled to Lufkin and organized the lodge, that is, elected officers and installed them. Since that time, the membership has increased considerably and today there are 130 certificate holders/members in Lodge 191 and these will be the charter members.

Besides Jerry Sizemore, there are two other sales representatives who are currently writing members into the lodge. These two are Mary Bevin and John Barret.

For right now, however, I'd like to introduce Bro. Chester Shmoldas of Crockett and Lodge 74, who was helpful and instrumental in getting Lodge 191 started in this area.

I would like to dwell for a few moments on the organization that you are becoming a part of today. Let me say, first of all, that you are joining a large fraternity of many brothers and sisters across this great State of Texas - some 56,000 .or 57,000 such members. The color brochures that we brought with us today (and we hope you all take one) graphically relate the story of who and what we are. The SPJST goes back to the years 1896 and 1897 to Fayette County where we had our humble beginnings. Just two weeks ago today, members of the Supreme

Lodge and approximately 100 people gathered on the courthouse lawn in La Grange to unveil and dedicate a marker in tribute to the historic meetings that took place in the second floor District Courtroom of that courthouse in 1896 and 1897.

You will see pictures and read about that occasion in next week's Vestnik.

One of the points that I made at that dedication was that the SPJST was founded and organized almost exclusively by Czech immigrants who had come to these shores and this state before the turn of the Century and who, having belonged

to another Fraternal Benefit Society with headquarters in the North, decided that they wanted an independent Fraternal Benefit Society based and operating in Texas. These were two basic reasons for this development: One was that these immigrants who found themselves in a new and strange land naturally sought out others in their communities who spoke the same language, had the same habits and customs, and had common and mutual social interests, that is, there was a longing and desire on the part of those people to (continued on page 6)

The move from heavy industry to high technology is changing prospects for college graduates, according to a recent survey of Carnegie-Mellon University's 1983 graduates with bachelor's degrees.

For engineering majors - a hot field for much of the '70s-job offers fell 40 percent in 1983, compared with 1982.For liberal-arts majors who once found jobs scarce - offers rose 20 percent. One key: Carnegie­ Mellon requires liberal-arts majors to study computers and statistics.

*** Investors can expect their favorite stocks to show some weaknesses in September, according to a recent analysis of seasonal stock-market patterns by Standard & Poor's. The study, which covered ever year since 1928, found that during September, stock prices advanced in only 24 of those years. During the same month, stock prices declined in 30 years and did not change in one year. The market performed best in December, when prices advanced in 39 years and declined in only 16.

August3, 1983 LEATHHONORED FOR 'PEACETHROUGHSTRENGTH' EFFORTS Congressman Marvin Leath today was presented the 1983 American Security Council-Coalitionfor Peace Through Strength Leadership Award in recognition of his support for a national strategy of Peace through Strength.

The honor was bestowed upon Leath by the American Security Councilat an awards reception at the US Capitol, sponsored by the United States CongressionalAdvisoryBoard.

The Coalition for Peace Through Strength is a bi-partisan alliance of pro-defenseleaders and organizations across the country. The American Security Council serves as the program secretariat for the Coalition for Peace Through Strength.

Leath said in acknowledging the award, "I appreciate this honor, but I want to add that I really appreciate the efforts of the dedicated people who are part of the Coalition for Peace through Strength. These people are really doing a service for their country in promoting a sound, logical approach to securing peace."

In presenting the award, ASC President John M. Fisher said Leath "is one of those far-sighted Members of Congress who knows that a strong America is a secure America; who knows that weakness only invites aggression; and who knows that only a national strategy of Peace Through Strength will insure this nation's security."

LAWN MOWERS. The newest lawn mowers on the market are safer thah older models - but they are! also more irritating and more expensive. As required by the Con­ sumer Product Safety Commission, the new mowers have safety brakes, which automatically stop the blades within 3 seconds after the operator releases the handle. On many new mowers, this forces repeated restarting. The change also dríves costs up as much as $100 for some models. Result: Last year's models are outselling the new types 5 to 1 at some hardware stores.

With a rabies*** plague raging in several parts of the country, reports of diseased raccoons near homes are increasing. One of the first steps in driving the animals away is to keep · them out of the garbage, says the Humane Society of the United States. It recommends hanging mothballs from trash-can handles or adding an ammonia-soaked rag to the bottom of the can each time it is emptied.

Although the evidence is not yet conclusive,service stations will soon begin posting warnings that inhaling gasoline vapors over a long period of time could cause kidney and liver cancer. The oil industry decided to post the warnings after a two-year study found cancer in laboratory animals that breathed gasoline fumes for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. The warnings are just a precaution, notes the institute, which adds that humans breathe far fewer fumes than did the test animals.

names of those who are not receiving the Vestnik and place them on the mailing list today), you will see that we are embarking on a statewide project of aiding and contributing to the Child Abuse Program through the Texas Department of Human Resources.

There are a countless number of charitable endeavors that a local unit can involve themselves in. We hope that you involve yourself in the Child Abuse Project, but the important thing is that you involve yourselves in some such endeavor or project, the choice being left up to you. If we expect to continue our tax-exempt status in the state and with the federal government, we must continue to justify that exemption by putting our resources into those areas that some level of government would otherwise have to fund with public tax money - on the municipal, county, state, or national government levels.

You are a local and subsidiary lodge of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas, more commonly known as the SPJST after the initials for the Czech name of our organization and under which

we are chartered by the state. Let me graphically illustrate this with some lettered cards, because many of you have no doubt wondered what SPJST stands for. You should know and you should be able to tell others.

Our State Home Offices are in Temple and we stand ready to work with you and assist you in the administration of your lodge matters.

The SPJST also maintains an extensive youth program in which we hope you will involve your young people from 6 through 16. Your District Youth Counselor from Houston, Dorothy Pflughaupt, is present today and is prepared to spend a few moments with Ken Carter and other interested members in giving you a broad over­ view of our youth program. We know this is a more or less festive occasion and you are probably not prepared to go into the program in depth today, but Dorothy can return in the very near future and work with you.

Under the by-laws you are required to hold monthly meetings and it is the duty of your lodge secretary to maintain a record 1 of attendance of your members, as provided for in Article 62 of our bylaws. This is most important so that you will qualifyto send a delegate or delegates to the convention next year. You will be electing them in your annual meeting in either November or December of this year.

officers and lead the membership to greater achievements during the years to come.

A few years ago the talk about the beginning of a new lodge in East Texas was just a thought, but today that thought has become a reality.

This afternoon is the beginning of another challenge, an important challenge to go forward and tell the big wide world of East Texas it can be done and will be done.

The members must join hands Fraternally in bonds of devotion and determination with the under­ standing that your coming tasks may be easy, ONLY IF, members do their share of work equally and jointly with a sense of pride and care. By working together, staying together and caring for one another in time of need will make your endeavor as fraternalists most enjoyable. As members you must stand tall and proud and each of you must do your share, make personal sacrifices and join together in a common cause of Benevolence, Humanity, and Brotherhood.

I strongly urge the membership and especially the sales representatives of Lodge 191 to work diligently to acquire new members as quickly as possible, because new members will make you grow and prosper and each new member acquired contributes a monetary value of paramount importance not only to Lodge 191, but also to growth and prosperity of our SPJST Society. Have a nice day.

We all take Pride in District V. Thank you. And may all the Tall Pines in East Texas continue to look alive.

SFMSilas Smith: It's a pleasure being with you today making July 24, 1983 a very important day in the history of Lodge 191.

I would also like to say that if it were not for Gloria and Jerry Sizemore we would not be here today. Chester Shmoldas and I and our wives came to Lufkin twice and attempted to get something going but nothing was really started until Jerry became a sales representative.

As one of the State Field Managers of SPJST, my job is to assist you in growing by virtue of your insurance sales. To be quite frank, it is impossible for you to grow without insurance sales because our by-laws prevent you from being a voting SPJST member unless you have an insurance certificate that is current with our society.

The SPJST is many things to many people, but it should be remembered at all times, th·,t we are primarily a Fraternal I'enefit Society or in every day terms An Insurance Company that is owned by its members where the profit is turned back to its members in form of benefits such as premium dividends, mortgage loans, youth camps, rest homes, college scholarships, fellowship and all types of social activities. That's why I enjoy my job very much because it gives me a very satisfying feeling training SPJST sales representatives because I know that the sales representatives in your lodge not only can take care of your life insurance needs at a very competitive rate, but he can offer

you all these other fraternal benefits at no cost to you. We are like one big family, helping each other through mutual concern.

We at the Home Office wish you well. We want you to grow. We are dedicated to help you in growing.

Tell your friends about the SPJST and the blanket of security we can offer your family. I'm proud of your accomplishments thus far and I know that the fine people in the Luf­ kin area will be .excited being part of SPJST and the security it affords its members.

So, since you have become a part of "The Family", let us work together and above all get along with one another. This is the key to success and growth and harmony in your lodge.

Thank you for being on the ground floor of Lodge 191 and the kind of hospitality you have shown me thus far and today. Good luck!

District V President Tillie Helmcamp: Supreme Lodge Officers, Officers, and Members of Lodge No. 191, and Guests: It is an honor to represent District V on this important occasion. Our heartiest congratulations and best wishes to you, officers and members of Lodge 191. The chartering of your lodge is another giant step for the SPJST. We have had several giant steps in recent years all proving how much the SPJST is growing!

Our organization can only grow, for it has much to offer its members: the fellowship in meetings and social affairs, two rest homes, a great youth program, and college scholar­ ships for our boys and girls. Often I am told that the SPJST has the finest youth program in the state. I hope that as you grow, Lodge 191, a youth club will also grow, so your children can get the benefits of fellowship and participation in the talent, craft and royalty contests and district camps. Don't let them miss out on this, and remember that all they learn will help them, not only in being the SPJST leaders of tomorrow, but also in being more successful in whatever vocation they choose.

Again, congratulations and may you continue to grow and become one of the leading lodges in our district. Thank you!

At the conclusion of the ceremonies, having presented and displayed the lodge banner at the beginning of the ceremonies, Bros.

Morris and Mikeska presented the SPJST Lodge Wall Emblem and framed charter with the names of all the charter members thereon.

Bro. Morris explained that when the short history of Lodge 191 was printed on the program distributed today that there were approximately 130 charter members. When he left the office Friday the number was up to 143.

Any person who made application by or on July 24, 1983, and whose application is subsequently approved, will be added to the framed charter and will be considered a charter member.

He then answered several questions from the floor. DYC Dorothy Pflughaupt met with the youth leader and Bro. Mikeska met with the Long-Range Planning Chairman and some other members of that committee.

Approximately 100 people

attended the chartering ceremonies.

An additional 30 persons showed up for the evening dance. The covered dish supper was very good and . enjoyed by everyone. There was a large variety of baked goods, sandwiches, dips, fruit salads, etc., etc. The officers and members of 191 are to be commended for their warm hospitality.

The number of people from the Houston area and District V were given special recognition and given thanks for attending and making their fellow members of District V welcome. The rest of the story can be told in the pictures accompanying this report.

The drive into East Texas takes you through miles and miles of wooded territory including the deep piney woods area. The drive and entire area are very scenic.

The day was warm but the facilities of the Lufkin Civic Center were air-conditioned and very comfortable. We are grateful to those who came to the ceremonies and who were able to make it to the dance.

Fraternally, Nick A. Morris President

SPJST History Project The final installment of the History of the SPJST is in the hands of the publisher. There are still a number of details to be worked out and decisions to be made, but it is anticipated that the planned publica­ tion date of the book will be some time early in 1984. It is expected that the book will contain approxi­ mately 350 pages, including pictures. The pictures will make up about 40% of the book. There are pictures of convention sites, lodge buildings, lodge officers, historical places, and pictures of individuals. I researched and completed the history over a period of four years - July 1977 to July 1981. The book contains information through December 31, 1980. The book has a complete index. The Table of Contents below gives you an idea of subject material covered and the scope of the information.

Here is where we need your help: Before we place an order for the number of copies, we need to know what the potential demand for the book will be. You can help us by completing the accompanying survey form and returning it to the Supreme Lodge at your earliest convenience. We are confident that

there are those outside the Vestnik mailing list who might be interested in this book, and even some people outside the SPJST. Naturally, a book covering the. timeframe that it does has to include hundreds and hundreds of names - names that will be instantly recognizable and have personal meaning to so many, including those who are currently active on various levels of the SPJST. The index will reveal this.

The most important thing that we want you to help us determine at this time is the demand for either soft or hardback covers. In either case, the cost will depend on the quantity printed and the more that are ordered, the less each book will cost.

It is anticipated that the softback edition will cost in the range from $8 to $10 and the hardback from $15 to $20, BASED ON AN ORDER OF 500 BOOKS, plus a nominal additional charge for postage and handling.

After we receive a number of these forms we will then be in a better position to assess the demand. It is expected (and we hope) that our lodges will want to have a copy of this book as well as individuals. A copy will also be sent to the Library of Congress.

Please take the time to complete the accompanying form either as an individual, or appropriate person representing their individual lodges.

We are using this means of the Vestnik to conduct the survey rather than individual letters, cards,

In the meantime, we welcome any inquiries about the book. The survey forms returned so far indicate a reasonably good response, however, they represent only a fraction of the Vestnik subscribers or our membership. Someone needs to see to it that this matter is brought up at your next lodge meeting and then a responsible officer is to check the appropriate spaces on the form and return it.

We think that anyone interested in the SPJST will certainly want to have a copy for their personal possession or at least access to a copy. This is something that had been talked about for several decades and even attempted but never achieved. Now, see the Table of Contents below.

the child cannot understand what they are supposed to do.

There are several kinds of child neglect. Physical neglect is failure to provide enough food, clothing, shelter or medical care. Failure to provide adequate education, guidance or supervision is also neglect. Emotional neglect is failure to give a child the love and affection he needs.

Similar to abuse and neglect, ex­ ploitation is forcing or unduly encour­ aging a child to participate in activities detrimental to his/her welfare such as begging, stealing, or working too hard for too many hours.

Child Abuse and Neglect are against the law in Texas, and so is the failure to report suspected cases of child mistreatment.

If you suspect that a child has been abused or neglected, the law requires that you make a report to the Texas Dept. of Human Resources. Persons making reports in good faith are protected by law from liability, and their identities are kept confidential.

To report to the Dept. of Human Resources, contact the departments' local child protective services office, or call the special toll-free Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-252-5400) to get the help a child needs.

The important thing is that you tell anyone what you suspect, so that specialists can intervene before more harm is done.

Sunday afternoon, July 31 the Social Night Committee treated themselves to a get-together party in our lovely picnic grounds at 3:30 p.m. They came with arms full of food and refreshments. I dropped by to snoop and find out what was cooking. Willie Wehring, the chief cook with Bernice Wahlberg, were busy frying the tasty-looking fish while Jimmie Wahlberg was giving them orders. Lined on the table were delicious side dishes to be served with the golden-brown fried fish and mouthwatering desserts to top it off. Members at two tables were engaged in playing different card games and the rest were just milling around and watching the swimmers in our olympic-size pool.

This Social Night Committee is active since 1965 shortly after our new home on Beall was opened.

Many served since that time, but only the following five members are still on it up to this day from the hundreds who volunteered to serve through the years; they are Louis Hanus, the founder and planner, Tim Kostom, Rosalee Kostom, Pearl Hanka and Ann Urbanovsky. At first 33 members were required to cover the work of this committee, but, as years passed by, the operation was streamlined and only 19 volunteers are serving now every Thursday from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. with no compensation, not even a free drink! Now, the Social Night Committee is served by the following members: Willie Wehring, chairman and caller, Edwin Klessel, co-chairman and caller, Pearl Hanka, treasurer, Lowrina Lindeman, secretary, Tim Kostom, bookkeeper, Louis Hanus, caller, Rosalee Kostom, sunshine girl, Gene Bareak, caller, Olivia Davis, Adolph Jurica, Estelle Kelly, Steve Kelly, Pat Neskorik, William Neskorik, A. J. Stayton, Ann Urbanovsky, Bernice

Wahlberg and Edna Wehring.

So much also can be said for our Popcorn Committee of three members; from 1974 to 1979, Brothers King Hegwood and Bill Malak held down the popcorn corner; then, in 1980George Taake joined the popcorn force and the three are on the spot whenever the SocialNight Committeeis in action, you can hear the poppingof corn and these are only two of our indispensablecommittees.

Monday,August 1st, Pearl Hanka invited me to join her in visiting her mother-in-law, Mrs Ida Hanka, residing in our S.P.J.S.T.Rest Home No. 2 in Needville; Pearl Hanka visits her quite often but, this time, wanted to surprise her with a color television set. Sister Hanka was bewildered when a large box was carried into her room by the home's attendants and unpackedand set up; for a while she couldn't say a word, just looked at Pearl with "Ah!" and her eyes wide open in amazement.

We visited for a few hours and enjoyed lunch with Mrs. Hanka and the other guests. The foodwas very good which consisted of meat loaf, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, homebaked bread and butter, iced tea and a deliciouslemon pie. After lunch Pearl had to try out the piano to see if it was in tune and we visited

News From Lodge 172, Pasadena Dear Brothers and Sisters: Hello from our lodge members to all ofyou!

These days no one has to go to faraway places in our USA to see beautiful places to enjoy because we have even little towns that also have worthwhile things to see for your dollars and cents. If you just look around . you will find attractive places close to the waterfront that couldvery easily becomeyour home and your door step would be only a few-minute drive from our lodge. (I suggest: keep your hard-earned moneyand spend it in Texas!)

Those of you who may have visitors in Texas from Canada, Czechoslovakia or England bring them to our Saturday night dances so they can enjoy dancing to "Cotton-Eyed Joe," "Waltz Across Texas," etc.

The reason why I am suggesting this to all of you is this: Saturday, July 30th everyone had a "ball" dancing to Neal Hart's favorite country/western/variety music who kept the dancers in the mood.

you will also have a chance to learn to speak Czech correctly. Our ancestors spoke two or three languages; who knows maybe the young people may become consultants!

Members, you are reminded that our lodge meetings are held every second Wednesday of each month at 7:30p.m. Our last meeting was well­ attended which is a good feeling because it's everyone brother and sister of the lodge business to make an effort to attend lodge meetings to find out firsthand what is going on and to hear reports, and when other lodge activities are taking place.

There are many exciting things in store for you so come and visit with your fellow members in a cool and pleasant atmosphere.

It's been reported that Sister Sylvia Hugo is at home now. Sister Renea Ordener is in a nursing home for a short period. Mrs. Berry, mother of our past lodge president of Lodge 172,is back in the hospital for a checkup.

Our thoughts are always remembered of the sick, distress and departed loved ones; to the deceased brothers and sisters, may they rest in peace.

Latest News From Lodge 183 Mid-Cities Dear Members: Just a few words about the new building; the sheetrock has arrived and we hope to have the building ready for the dance Saturday, August 13, however, call one of the officers before coming to be sure that the building is ready for the dance. Our new building will be great when finished and any of you members can be proud of what has been accomplished. It is amazing what a group of Czechs, with a touch of the Irish, can cook up.

Remember that our lodge meeting will be Sunday, August 14, at 6:30 p.m. and anyone who wants to know more about the lodge be sure to be there; also the final plans for the Grand Opening will be discussed. If you have any suggestions, please bring them to the meeting.

Ten Lodge 183 members got together for a sea food meal at the Amfac Hotel at DFW Airport Friday, July 29th. Those who were in the group included Pat, Robert and Shelby Sill, Bennie Mae and Lambert Pustejovsky, Philly and Shane Boyle, Inez Greenlees and Gracie and I. Everyone ate all the sea food that they could hold and then they sang "Happy Birthday" to Bennie Mae and me for having birthdays in July. All of us had a good time and enjoyed being together and doing something a little bit different. I will use this letter to wish all the rest of you members who have birthdays in July: "Happy Birthday!" Let's hope these little "get-togetherings" will catch on and have more in the future.

East Texas Lodge 191 The Chartering Ceremony was the big event in Lufkin July 24, 1983.

Lodge 191 East Texas District V was chartered into the SPJST. President Nick A. Morris of the Supreme Lodge of the SPJST was the installing officer presenting the SPJST banner, identifying Lodge 191, to our President John Anderson who accepted proudly in behalf of all Lodge 191 members.

All guests of visiting lodges were introduced from Houston, Crosby Lovelady, Waco and Temple; also District V Director, Louis Hanus, State Field Manager, Silas Smith and Mrs. Tillie Helmcamp, District V President who participated in the ceremonies.

President Morris and Secretary­ Treasurer Mikeska of the Supreme Lodge then presented the SPJST emblem and framed charter to President John Anderson. Bro. Mikeska then administered the traditional Loyalty Pledge to the charter members present.

Mr. Anderson then introduced the officers of Lodge 191: Vice-Presi­ dent, Ken Carter, Secretary, Sara Oliver, Financial Secretary, Gloria Sizemore, and Treasurer, Patsy Weems. Further instroductions included Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Sizemore, Sales People, James

Horton, Planning Chairman and Ken Thornton, Entertainment Chairman. · Our attendance was one hundred plus.

Well, folks, just about this time I noticed a few hungry faces, including mine and, lo and behold, there to the side was a long table with all kinds of food and snacks and all kind of goodies. We sure want to thank each and everyone of our lodge women for bringing a dish. A special thanks goes to Ross Gibbs and Ken Roland who made the arrangements for the food and drinks. Our next step after eating was to dance to the music of one of our members, Don Sessums and his band.

Seems to me like everybody had a wonderful time.

YOUTH DEPARTMENT COMPETITIONRESULTS PROCEDURE

For two years now we have had a slightly new procedure in effect per­ taining to competition results, both on the district and state levels. The purpose of spelling out this procedure is to prevent unfortunate incidents. 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 DYCsand members of the Supreme Lodge been notified of this procedure. The decision on this matter was discussed and approved in the July 1981Supreme Lodge meeting.

1) At District YADs,the first and most important step that is to be taken by the presiding DYCis 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 tabu­ lation overseer to step to one side with the DYCand 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 30minutes 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 indivídualísl 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 DYCwill 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 just made, and if not, corrective steps will be taken then and there.

The above procedures will also be followed at State YAD and State Royalty.

This should preyent the 1

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 least.

Every attempt should be made to overcome the excitement, emotion, and pressure of the occasionto 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.)

From the Youth Members LODGE 25 YC GOES SWIMMING The SPJST Youth Club of Lodge 25 in Ennis went swimmingat Sokol 19 July 1983. We had a lot of fun; there were twenty-four members and guests attending. For two hours we swam, jumped off diving boards, raced, and had a goodtime.

We have planned another swimmingparty August 1st.

We are proud to say that five of our members are going to State YAD for August 21st; namely, Kathleen Rejcek (Handicraft), Sharon Rejcek (Science/Educa­ tional),Kim Macalik(Pictorial Arts), Michelle Zapletal (Talent), and Melanie Kudrna (Science/Educa­ tional).

We have challenged our big lodge to a volleyball tournament. We plan to have a watermelon party with the tournament. We are planning a whole lot of activities for the summer.

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.
