COMMENTS

NOTICE - Per page 2, col.

1, there will NOT be a Vestnik issued dated Wednesday, June 14. *** The Secretary's Directory for both districts and lodges is on pages 8 and 9; you may wish to keep it. *** Correction: In last week's issue (May 17) page 5, first 2 columns (picture at bottom) cutline should have read - Flag Bearer Sue Ellen Flippen instead of LaFere. Handwritten names are hard to decipher. We regret the error Editor.

A graduation whether it's from grade school, high school or college is an auspicious occasion. This is the time when the entire family and their friends can join in to celebrate. You should attach a significance to this occasion, for this is a milestone in the life of the youngster.

The June meeting of SPJST lodges could be set aside to honor the graduates and the most proficient students of your lodge. Invite the parents, relatives and friends of the students you will honor. During the recognition ceremony have a photographer take pictures and then publish them, along with a story, in your local newspaper. Effective publicity will keep your members well informed and may interest others to join our SPJST Society. Also as an added attraction to the recognition, you could publicize that lunch or refreshments will follow the main event. This will give all of the families an opportunity to socialize.

By the way, the National Fraternal Congress also suggests these activities to help preserve and strenghten the family unit.

During graduation, the graduates are usually told that an important part of their growth in high school was learning how to accept responsibility; also leadership and desire are vital attributes for future life and we cannot be content with what we have done.

Growth must never cease, but remain constant throughout our lives. Usually graduates are told that they must have a strong philosophy of life and concrete goals to live and enjoy life at its fullest.

The necessity for every young man and young woman to otbain the highest possible education is becoming more and more apparent. The requirements of this present age are greater than ever before, and with each succeeding year will become even greater. There are more trained men and women today than yesterday, and there will be more tomorrow than today. The time has been when just a general knowledge was sufficient to carry one through life and give an opportunity for a fair measure of success in any pursuit or vocation.

However, the demand is for the individual with special knowledge, and not to be so prepared is to be greatly handicapped and to decrease the opportunity to accomplish much.

FSLIC (Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation), which federally insures deposits in Savings and Loan Companies, has been in the news much of the time on radio, TV and newspapers. There is a Savings and Loan "bailout" plan proposed that, it seems, will cost each of us citizens about $1,000. This is the result of "Federal Deregulation" instituted in the 1980s when the Savings and Loan organizations were allowed to invest in other than home buyers' building loans. Recently, on nationwide television, Mrs. Perry of Heights Savings and Loan in Houston and a lady from Arkansas both testified how they were told by their local "regulators" to invest in apartments, business skyscrapers, oil interests, etc. and became financially troubled.

The average investor in Savings and Loan Associations in US has about 8 to 9 thousand dollars invested, however, there have been cases where a millionaire could invest $100,000 in probably 10 Savings and Loan Associations and all would be insured

by FSLIC. Of course, this investor would not care where the money was invested and what would happen to it, because it was INSURED, and now it will cost them no more than each of us.

This type of "bailout" seems rather unfair. As of now, there are over seven thousand legal actions on "fraud" in the Savings and Loan Associations.

You may write to: Citizens Bailout, PO Box 19404, Washington, D.C. 20036; or call 1 - 800 - 637 - 9625 for more information on this matter. *** Annuities which pay a lifetime income at retirement in exchange for a stipulated investment, are the safest course to buy an annuity from a stable company graded A + for financial strength by the rating service A.M. Best Company. SPJST Society is rated A+ by A.M. Best Company. The Best publications are available in some public libraries. Be wary of companies that promise to pay much higher interest rates than their competition.

They are probably investing in junk bonds, which are riskier than investment - grade securities. *** Imagine having hiccups not for minutes or hours, but years. Such chronic hiccups affect less than one percent of the population but debilitate victims to the point of exhaustion. Now doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Ceter in Washington, D.C., have found that nifediphine, a drug commonly used to treat angina, seems to halt hiccups and prevent recurrence in people who do not respond to traditional medications such as tranquilizers and anticonvulsants. In an 18 - month study, five or seven patients who took 10 to 20 milligrams of nifediphine three times a day stopped hiccuping.

Hiccups started again when medication stopped.

Possible side effects include dizziness, flushing and headaches.

Since the drug lowers blood pressure, it is not recommended for anyone with hypotension. ***

As of this month -- You can call (800) 283 - CAMP to reserve a campsite in over 600 national forests. The cost of the service is $6 to $10. Camping fees run $4 to $12.

No. 88, Houston News Lodge

On April 23, 1989, Homer and Rita Alexander left for Longview to spend the night with friends. The next day, they left for a long trip to Iowa through the scenic mountains of Arkansas and Missouri. In Iowa they visited the Amish community of Kaloma; this would be most exciting to me because I read the book about the way those people live. They toured the cheese fa-tory and were introduced to cured - best cheese ever made. Then they went on to the Amana Colonies where the German immigrants settled in the 1800s. The coffee cake baked in the original Hahn's Hearth oven was delicious, and so was the German food at the Ox Yoke Restaurant. They then went to a little Dutch community in Pella, where the Dutch immigrants keep the traditions of Holland as much as possible. The giant windmills, tulips and buildings are most interesting.

Due to their little granddaughter Julie's dance concert; they had to cut their trip short and come back to Houston. Julie was the youngest winner in a dance competition a week earlier. (Must be taking after her grandfather and grandmother.)

However, she's a great and wonderful little dancer. They are very proud of her -- just like all of us grandparents.

On May 8th, we had our monthly meeting. The nicest report that our President Jerry Ermis gave us was that we had no deaths in our Lodge 88 in April.

Here are a few highlights of our meeting. Homer Alexander, the FAC (Fraternal Activities Coordinator), always gives such a good report. We know how much good he does for those who need help in one way or another, also on June 8th and 9th, he'll have another Driver's Course. It's only two days from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and you will get a 10 percent discount on your automobile insurance.

We had an extra celebration for our 50 - year members. A pin was presented to each one, and a decorated cake was served after the meeting.

President Ed Miculka gave a short •report for the Men's Club, and then I noticed an expression in his eyes that told me, "I've got to get away from it all" for a couple of weeks. Rudy and Celestine Darilek and Ed and Ellen Miculka are on their way to California and Nevada; this sounds like a beautiful trip. I do hope they'll share some of this trip with us.

Entertainment Committee Chairman Harley Cox was well pleased with the profit for the first 4 months of 1989. We have the following dances coming up: Saturday, May 27 -Manny Green (Big Band); Saturday, June 3 -- Texas Special Red Ravens; Sunday, June 4 -- Homecoming with a "Splash" with LeeRoy Matocha playing for a FREE dance from 5 to 9 p.m.; Saturday, June 10 -- Al Pierson with his great Guy Lombardo music.

Pick up the new dance schedules and and pass them out to your friends.

Mark your calendars so you won't forget.

Sunday, June 4th is a Big Day at Lodge 88 and that is Homecoming with a "Splash." Barbecue, with all the trimmings will be served, starting at 11:30 a.m. until ?? Members with a valid membership card are free, non members $4.50; a carryout 25 cents extra. During all this time, our Lodge 88 Concert Orchestra will be entertaining us on the Gazebo. There will be a spinning wheel with beautiful prizes directed by Helen Hegwood, games will be played from 2 to 4 p.m., a Birthday Club drawing between 4 to 5 p.m. and a FREE dance from 5 to 9 p.m. by LeeRoy Matocha Orchestra.

Don't forget the wonderful pastry which our Birthday Club sisters and members of the lodge furnish. Lillie Spies will be in charge of that booth and many of our ladies will be helping Lillie. While all this is in progress, the swimming pool will be open. This is the fun our youth members are looking forward to. The pool is well protected by licensed boys and girls. I was told the youth will have snowcones for their project. Everybody come and have a great day with all your friends.

Mrs. Antonie Hejl, age 95, died Monday, April 10, 1989 in a Taylor rest home. Mrs. Hejl was born September 15, 1893 in Corn Hill and lived most of her life in Taylor. She was married to Joe Frank Hejl, Sr. He preceded her in death in 1960, also three sisters and two brothers. Mrs. Hejl is survived by Della Miksch and husband, Joe, Lydia Peterson, Daniel Hejl and wife, Lillian, Joe and wife, Martha Hejl, 20 grandchildren and one great - grandchild. She was buried from the Brethren Church. Her grandsons served as pallbearers. Della, Joe and family, we at Lodge 88 sympathize with you. It's hard to lose your mother.

On May 6, 1989, the Choral Group and the Lodge 88 Czech Concert Orchestra performed at the Czech Fest in Rosenberg. Tim Kostom's Choral Group was well represented and so was the Concert Orchestra directed by Vlastimil Kovanda. It was most beautiful to hear them perform together. I was quite amused at Gene Barcak standing between Ernest Anders and Bennie Kocich singing their hearts out. Also, the Czech Folk Dancers of West who did a wonderful dance for one hour and, believe me, that takes young people.

My little great niece, Kristen Green, won the $6,000 Jones Award at Waltrip High School and a $500

Scholarship from the SPJST Society.

She is the daughter of Larry and Betty Gayle Green. Kristen is planning on entering Texas A&M University in the fall; her sister, Traci, has finished two years already. John A. Hilsher is their grandfather. We are all so proud of her.

Yesterday was Mother's Day. Those of us who lost our mothers have beautiful memories of her -- one especially who always watched over us with tender love like a guardian angel.

Gary's "bee - haven"

John B. Hejl receiving a 50 - year pin from President Clarence Boriski.

Gary's own invention "toughest nut cracker" [patent pending?]

Lodge No. 155, Austin Reports Our regular monthly meeting was held Sunday, April 2nd at 2:30 p.m. in the home of Brother Gerard (Gary) Chmelir, 905 Retama.

President Brother Clarence Boriski called the meeting to order with Pledge of Allegiance to our flag led by Brother Charles Sponberg. A moment

of silence was observed for our departed members.

Roll call of officers indicated all present -- President Clarence Boriski, Vice President Laverne Hejl, Secretary Raymond Prasatik, Treasurer John Bryce Hejl and Reporter Alice Prasatik. Guests present were Mrs. Lora. Ruggles and Lil M. Skrivanek.

The total attendance was 16.

Minutes were approved as corrected.

Communications were read as follows: A letter from Supreme Lodge President Howard Leshikar pertaining to the lodge activities report of members, and a letter acknowledging our young adult sisters, Beth L. Jezisek being issued a paidup $2 eighteen - year - old Endowment Certificate with her selected option.

Brother John Hejl, treasurer, gave his report. He was also honored by receiving his 50 - year SPJST membership pin from President Clarence Boriski. A hearty congratulatory applause followed. The other two 50 - year pin recipients from our lodge are Brother Frank James Kokas of Bellaire, Texas and Ernest S. Pechacek of Fort Worth, Texas.

Congratulations! They should have received their pins by now.

Brother Boriski reported on his meeting with representatives of several organizations in Austin who are interested in promoting Czech culture.

The widely acclaimed "Podluzan," Czech folkloric musical 18 - member ensemble from Czechoslovakia is making a repeat performance to several cities in Texas the early part of July. Their colorful performance in Austin is scheduled for Thursday evening, July 13th at the University of Texas Bates Recital Hall in the Performing Arts Complex, 23rd Street and East Campus Drive (across the

street from the U.T. football stadium).

Bates Recital Hall is located in the back of the complex. There is ample free parking space. We hope all of our SPJST members and their friends will take the opportunity of attending this artistic and talented unforgettable Czech performance.

After the meeting, an abundance of fine food awaited us at the table brought and prepared by the ladies assisted by Gary (host) with his large microwave. He himself is a good cook, giving advice to the ladies. His specialty on this occasion was a platter of large stuffed mushrooms. Gary grew up in Illinois and still uses the many cooking spices which his mother used They are in readiness by his stove.

After refreshments we received a grand tour of Gary's bachelor home which was a treat to say the least. The spacious living room graced a beautiful piano, but there wasn't time to coax him into playing for us. A room left of the living room was closed and all was quiet during our meeting.

But when he opened the door, we saw 2 bird cages with 4 canaries that started to sing for us immediately. When Gary plays the piano, they sing along with him. The intricate equipment and various devices which relate to his trade and library as an electronic and mechanical engineer are shown throughout. His biggest invention he demonstrated was a hard nut cracker (patent pending?) Most assuredly it will crack any nut.

Perhaps the most interesting was his talk about the realistic importance of bees as a family trait. How you feel is also evidenced by the bees. If he is happy he can work with them without (Con't On Page 10)

88 Birthday Club News

Lodge

On May 10, 1989, the Birthday Club sisters met for their regular monthly meeting in the- lodge dining room.

President Kathy Trefell opened the meeting with a Mother's Day reading, which was very inspirational.

Secretary Rosalee Kostom read the minutes of our previous meeting, which were approved as read.

Treasurer Lillie Spies gave the financial report, which was accepted as given.

We decided we need a special treat, so Pearl Hanka made a motion, seconded by Alma McNaspy to go to the Pecos Grill on Wednesday, May 24th for a steak dinner including a salad bar at 11 a.m. It passed unanimously and now we are all looking forward to a big day.

We had no report from our Sunshine Lady Mary Kosut. She became ill while in Czechoslovakia and had to come back a week early and she is still sick. That is hard luck!

Mary Johnson is in St. Luke's Hospital, where she had surgery. She's doing very well, which isn't surprising to any of us. She always recovers so fast.

Frank Dvorak, Frances Olexa's brother, had the misfortune of breaking his hip. He has had surgery, but at 91 years, the mending will be slow. His daughter - in - law, Mrs. Henry (Polly) Dvorak from Oklahoma is helping Mrs. Frances Dvorak with all the chores that one entails when someone is in the hospital.

Amos Kadlecek is in the Heights Hospital, very ill. It is hard on the family because someone has to be with him all the time. Della is by his side most of the time and, of course, her children help as much as possible.

We do hope that all will get well. again. I hope you will send a card or visit or call will help their morale.

Sympathy cards have been sent to Anna Hoffman, who lost a niece; Martha Baxter lost her mother and Virginia Hale lost her brother. Our prayers are with all you Birthday Club sisters.

Agnes Pederson announced that her son, Lin and wife, Denice, have a little girl, Michelle Lin, since March 27,

1989. Lin Lesak is a former active youth club member and now is on a radio talk show in Houston under the name of Captain Eddie.

Congratulations!

Lowrina Lindemann is chairman of the Drawing Committee for the Birthday Club and assisting her are Rita Alexander, Juanita Simons, Willie Mae Ermis and Margaret Spahr.

There will be 3 prizes to be given away, two $50 prizes and the jar of candy, which goes to the person who guesses the closest count, and these prizes will be given away on Splash Day on June 4, 1989. The tickets are 3 for $1. We'd appreciate the help you can give us.

Thanks!

The prizes, which we have at every meeting, were then given away to these lucky people. President Kathy's gift was won by Martha Baxter, a beautiful begonia plant given by Willie Mae Stang was won by Evelyn Mikulos and the Calcutta game was won by Martha Walla and Rita Alexander.

Those who celebrated their birthday in May were Willie Mae Stang, Agnes Pederson, Josephine Buri and Helen Valcik, an honorary member who lives in the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home No. II in Needville. "Happy Birthday" was sung and we adjourned with a prayer

by Kathy Trefell.

Remember: "Let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth."

News of our members -- Sisters Anne Zvolanek, Mary Sebestik and Alice Roberts enjoyed the visit of their sister and brother - in - law, Mildred and Bill Baker from Anaheim, California. Sister Anne Zvolanek recently won 7 blue ribbons on one Arboreal Award for entering the best plant in a flower show presented by her Garden Club; that's what you call having a green thumb. Sisters Lillian Moran and Dorothy Reznik recently spent 4 fun - filled days in that exciting place called Las Vegas; they stayed at the Bally's and enjoyed 2 shows; one being old blue - eyes himself, Frank Sinatra who still can croon pretty good. Whether they came back with heavy pockets or empty wasn't revealed, but they did have smiles on their faces.

We are sorry to hear that Alice Robert's husband, Tom, was recently hospitalized. Sister Mildred Chervenka is recovering from surgery she had on her hand.

Plan on attending our June meeting.

Time is really so short and every meeting should be special. I always think of dear Zdenka and how she planned on attending many meetings when she moved back to Dallas only to find out her Master had other plans for her. This also brings to mind that favorite saying: "Don't waste your time in waiting for the world to come to you. You have to climb the mountain to appreciate the view."

Please come to the meeting on June 1st; if not, you will surely be missed.

Seaton Choral Group Meets Dear Brothers and Sisters: After a long winter's rest, fifteen members met on Tuesday, April 25th to sing a few favorite songs plus practice for the nursing home performances coming up in the future.

We are to perform at Southland Villa Nursing Home on Tuesday, May 30th at 7 p.m., so everyone who possibly can, should be there. The residents and those who are in charge at the home will be looking for us to be there to entertain. It makes you feel good to see those residents sing along and tap their feet to the music.

We were awarded an appreciation certificate from the Burmont Nursing Home, recently, when they held their brunch for entertainers; five of us attended, namely, Della Psencik, Albina Mikeska, Mary Holick, Anne Krcha and Dorothy Pechal. We were served sandwiches, chips, vegetables and punch or coffee and met all who help out at the home.

At the meeting, we circulated a get well card for Sister Dorothy Morris who was in the hospital and everyone sent best wishes for better health. As you all know she has passed away since. May she rest in eternal peace and to the survivors our deepest sympathy.

The club had sent a donation to the SPJST Scholarship Fund in memory of my husband, Jerry Pechal. An acknowledgement from my family of this was read by the secretary.

A discussion of a spring picnic of the club followed. Many dates were mentioned and the date of Sunday, April 30th was set as the date for the get - together. A cancellation of the picnic was known by all members by phone a few days later.

See you all Tuesday, May 30th at Southland Villa Nursing Home at 7 p.m.

Class At Alief In Summer Of 89

Czech

Alief Evening School under auspices of AISD (Alief Independent School District) is, again, offering a Conversational Czech course at Hastings High School. The location of this school is between Bellaire Blvd. on the south and Alief - Clodine on the north on the southwest side of the intersection of Cook Road and High Star Drive in the community of Alief.

The first lesson of this summer course, designed to develop basic skill in the Czech language wherever it is spoken, will be the 6th of June and henceforth for 6 weeks, Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuition, set by the school, will be $40 and the instructor will be John J. Karas of Houston.

For additional details write to, or call: Alief Community Evening School P.O. Box 68 Alief, Texas 77411 Phone: 498 - 8110 X3200, X6460 or 495 - 4053 P.S. Studies of Czech and classes of the same are vitally important in perpetuation of our Czech heritage; they bring forth the increased ethnic awareness of all involved Czech Americans. Everybody knows that the advantages of learning another language are a hundredfold, and the fact that Czech belongs to the largest group of the European languages, that is to the Slavonic languages, enhances the value of the Czech language.

Knowledge of Czech is, that is to say, a halfway step towards the learning of any other Slavonic languages.

Everybody young or old is welcomed to the above announced Czech course.

Perpetuate your heritage by learning the Czech language!

6, Cottonwood Youth Activities Dear Readers, The youth club meeting was held May 5, 1989 after our lodge meeting and we had a fair attendance.

Several donations were made by the youth club to West Rest Haven, cakes to Leroy Bank Depositers' bake sale and cakes for the District III spring meeting - dinner, clothes to Goodwill and papers to St. Mary's School.

They are now working on their scrapbook and their crafts.

The youth gave corsages to all the mothers who were present at our lodge meeting; one of the mothers, Barbara Hykel, helped us get these corsages together so we could honor all the mothers. Thank you, Barbara.

At our next meeting, we will elect youth club officers for the coming year.

We hope all the mothers had a happy Mother's Day. Fraternally, Willie Mae Schuetz, Yldr.

Some of our members did not get to attend and our talent could not be done. When Lodge 40 found out about this, they asked us to join them in singing a song and doing the "Popcorn" dance.

This was a true act of fraternalism and we would like to thank Lodge 40 Youth Club for being so kind.
