August "Top Producers" recognized "Ambitious goals" planned for sales force The present economy has certainly made everyone cautious about spending money, yet our SPJST sales force continued to generate good sales during the month of August. To date, approximately $20 million in new insurance has been written in 1992.

"Some very ambitious goals will be

set to enhance our training and production of our sales force in the coming months," says Supreme Lodge Vice President Bernard Gebala. "Incentives will also be introduced as a way for the local lodges to become more involved in their own growth."

According to Gebala, it is every mem-

security needs. They are as follows: whole life, limited pay life, level term life, decreasing term life, universal life and annuities.

For more information on any of these plans, contact your local lodge sales representative, lodge officer, district director or the Home Office at 1-800-72-SPJST.

Olympic trip marked Going to the Olympics could probably be considered a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most people. However, Talon and Rome Milan experienced the fifth such lifetime experience this summer.

The Milan brothers and their wives, Lesli and Mila, all members of Lodge No. 154, Fort Worth, attended the Summer Olympics in Barcelona.

"This was by far the best opening ceremony we've seen," said Talon. "Spain has all these mythological beliefs and the ceremony told a whole story. It was unique and wild and reflected the art of Spain."

According to the Milans, there were many things that stood out about the trip.

For instance, the archer who shot the

by excitement and misadventures

arrow to light the torch. He was a paraplegic brought out in a wheelchair and left to stand alone to make his shot.

With only 70,000 people in the world being able to attend the opening ceremonies, the Milans felt extremely proud to be in attendance.

Rome Milan recalls other memorable events. Like his encounter with news broadcaster Kathleen Sullivan. He had an Olympic pin that Ms. Sullivan also wanted. He agreed to give it to her in exchange for her NBC pin and a hug. He received both.

Although the trip was exciting, it was also marked by some problems.

The banner was stolen, in one of a series of mishaps that accompanied the Milans in their trip to the Olympics.

Let's Get Past the "Talk Stage"

Something In Common Where will our local lodges be ten years from now? What about five years from now? What about next year at this time? In large part, that depends on us and the goals and initiatives we establish for our home lodges.

It's easy to sit around and talk about the changes and challenges facing our local lodges. It's a totally different thing to get past the "talk stage" and devote the time it takes to hammer out long- and short-term goals for our lodge and then do what it takes to make things happen.

After discussions with many of you, this writer believes that it is fair to report that a lot of us are in the same boat.

Many of our lodges face similar challenges-the challenge to attract members to local meetings and lodge functions; the challenge to meet escalating operating expenses-including tax and liability burdens; and the the challenge to maintain a spirit of fraternalism, brotherhood and unity in our local lodges.

So what's the answer? If this writer knew, believe me, he would share it with you now.

What can be said; however, is that a number of our lodges-some with and some without lodge halls-are doing quite well.

In each case, these are lodges that have identified their market and have catered their schedule of activities to reflect the tastes of that audience. Further, it would appear that these lodges all have three things in common.

First, these thriving lodges all appear to have a clear and elevating goal that keeps them pulling in the same direction.

They strongly believe that their goal embodies a worthwhile or important result. In some cases, that goal is to pay off the lodge building; in others, it's working to maintain the lodge as the cultural or family center of a community.

Regardless of the goal, when people are doing something that clearly makes a difference to them, their sense of duty and support is there.

Second, those lodges that are doing well seem to have a knack for showing appreciation to the people who comprise the lodge and take part in their activities.

It's a sense of well-being and stability that emulates from effective leadership.

Effective leaders bring out the leadership in others. They give lodge members the self-confidence to take charge and to make things happen rather than merely performing assigned tasks. The end result is a situation that converts team members to leaders themselves.

The third commodity that strong lodges seem to have in common is good communication. Basically, its effective internal communication among the

members-either through the Vestnik, newsletters, or telephone banks-that keeps members current of what the lodge is doing; what progress has been made; and what is expected of them.

Your editor continues to discover new things about the members and the Society every time he attends a local lodge or district function. Much of what I discover makes me optimistic about what can be achieved when we work together.

All of us have a limited number of hours in a day to commit to lodge and sales activities. When we commit those hours to doing something that we believe will last and is worthwhile-we set the stage for the long-term growth and prosperity and our local lodge and for the SPJST. Every year-in a very real sense-we have the chance for a fresh start in our lodges. Soon, we will be electing officers and considering changes to our Rules and Regulations. As we enter into this annual process, let us all be especially mindful to elect those individuals and adopt those policies that will endow our lodges with purpose and potential.

Elect those individuals and adopt those policies that will endow our lodges with purpose and potential.

*** District Two Fall Meeting District Two hosted its annual fall meeting on Sunday, September 27 at Lodge 187, Round Rock. Approximately 170 members and visitors, representing 13 out of the 18 lodges in the district, participated.

Without question, those who attended enjoyed the days activities, which included two country stores, cake walk, fish pond, contests and a delicious meal.

However, as First Vice President Dale Kessel noted in his talk and as your editor will restate, "The more member participation we are able to generate for our fall meetings, the more fun we will have."

Back to the subject of contests, consolation is extended to my horseshoe partner, Sister Katherine Smith of Lodge 47, Seaton. Sister Katherine, please take our tenth place finish-out of ten teams-for what it was-a tribute to the 18 "professionals" we competed against.

In an effort to attract partners for future contests, your editor vows to practice, practice, practice. ***

Keep Those Pennies Coming In The annual "100 Pennies Scholarship Program" is now in full swing. Contributions are coming in at a steady pace.

A full report on the first week's contributions will appear in next week's Vestnik. If you would like to give, please refer to the contribution form on page three of this issue.

Olympic Trip Continued from page 1 After boarding their plane, which provided a very bumpy and unsettling flight, Talon and Lesli Milan received a message from Rome and Mila Milan who had left earlier to tour through Cairo and Istanbul.

Rome and Mila had rented a car in Paris to drive to Barcelona and their car had been burglarized. Their camera, souvenirs and $2,000 worth of Olympic tickets, along with some of their luggage had been stolen.

Upon arriving in Spain, the Milans discovered that Lesli's luggage had been lost.

Besides containing all her clothing, her suitcase also held the banner that they had made for the Olympic events.

After finally receiving word that the luggage had made it to the airport, they went to pick it up—only to discover that someone else had already taken it. The luggage was no longer lost. It was now stolen.

During their first day in Spain, Talon suffered an allergic reaction to some medication and broke out in hives and welts that lasted six days. It took two trips to the hospital for shots before receiving some relief.

His condition was aggravated by 90 degree head and the lack of air conditioning—even in the hospital.

When Talon and Lesli decided to cut their trip short, the airline required proof that Talon's medical condition necessitated their early departure. Talon had to go back to the hospital to get a note from the doctor.

While speaking with the doctor at the hospital, a man having a heart attack was rushed in. The doctor interrupted his conversation with Talon to perform CPR, but to no avail. The man died while Talon stood next to him.

Finally, when one would think enough is enough, the Milans could not get a flight out of Madrid and had to take a train to Paris—which took almost two days. Then, when taking a taxi to the airport to catch their flight, the driver took them to the wrong airport and they missed their flight home.

The driver, however, insisted on being paid for the ride—even though it was the wrong ride—and took a suitcase hostage when Talon refused. Talon reciprocated by taking the driver's keys out of the ignition. The two men negotiated, and suitcase and keys—but no money—changed hands.

Lesli and Talon finally returned home—tired and worn out—but nevertheless happy that they had made the trip.

Rome and Mila stayed until the end and Rome had an opportunity to indulge in one of his hobbies—collecting pins. He ended up with 168 Olympic team pins—just • four short of having one from each team involved.

Rome's pin collection will be displayed at the Gymnastic Hall of Fame in California.

The Milans save for four years to be able to attend the Olympics each go around. And even with all the trials and tribulations of this trip, they say they wouldn't have missed it for anything.

"There was such a feeling of pride swelling up while watching the teams," said Talon. "Not only for our country, but also for those like Croatia, who had never been there before this time. It's hard to explain—but it was wonderful."

SPJST Salutes 100 Percent Families With seven districts and 118 active lodges, the SPJST depends heavily on family participation to prosper and maintain a spirit of fellowship. In appreciation of that support, the Supreme Lodge introduced its "100 Percent SPJST Family" program in September. Through letters to local lodges and articles in the Vestnik, 100 percent families were encouraged to report their 100 percent families to the SPJST Supreme Lodge. To date, that response has been great.

The following is a partial listing of 100 Percent SPJST families who have already registered their family and will be receiving a certificate acknowledging their contribution to the Society. More names will appear in upcoming issues of the Vestnik.

If your 100 Percent Family has not yet sent in a data form, please do so today.

More Scenes from District II Fall Meeting

Lorene and Joe Haisler (24), Jerrie Kirby (47) and Calvin and Dolores Skrabanek (47) visit at fall meeting.

Lodge 66, Waco Continued from page 6 She also read a correspondence from Supreme Lodge President Howard Leshikar concerning scholarships for 1993. The letter also requested donations for the 100 Pennies scholarship drive.

Lodge 66 will donate $500 to this scholarship in December.

Brother George Pauling made a short statement before asking Secretary Mary A. Langlotz to read the minutes of the Board of Trustees meeting. He reported to the floor about actions the board voted on in their meeting.

1. Any band with a set fee—no passes on that night.

2. 50th Anniversaries—Free rent to members only on Sundays. Any reservation made in the past will be honored as a contract.

3. Air conditioning remodeling was awarded to Brazos Valley Service.

4. The floor could ask that we replace Brother Ira Niswanger on the board—otherwise we would not elect one until November. There was no discussion on this, so we will elect in November.

After these remarks the minutes of the last Board of Trustees Meeting were read

by Sister Mary A. Langlotz. The minutes were approved.

A motion was then made by Brother John Engelke and seconded by Jewel Warhol to do away with all passes as of January 1, 1993—not only for common bands, but for all bands. The motion carded (so, no,more passes).

Sister Lucille Cervenka gave the entertainment report. On this day, we celebrated our 867th year as a lodge with a fried chicken dinner. At the October 18th lodge meeting, we will serve hot dogs with members bringing desserts.

In her report, Youth Leader Gladys Yates highlighted the following items: • The youth had a good camp attendance.

• At Y.A.D., Jesika Tierce was a queen candidate and Amanda Neslony was duchess.

New lodge members accepted at the September meeting were Sharon A. Waller and Brandi L. Caldwell.

Brother Johnnie Gaidusek's books were audited through July and were all perfect.

Sister Dorothy Gerlich was presented her 50-year membership pin by President Jim Locke. We enjoyed having Dorothy and her husband, daughters and grandchildren at our meeting.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:30 p.m. and followed by a delicious meal that was enjoyed by all.

Finally, I want to thank Sister Mary A. Langlotz who graciously filled in for me and took notes at the September meeting.

81, Needville Reports on Activities Lodge

Sunday, September 20, 1992—a warm late summer day—brought out 33 members to the lodge hall in Needville for the regular monthly meeting. At noon, everyone enjoyed a baked and fried chicken dinner with all the trimmings.

The chicken was furnished by the lodge and Sister Mary Werner prepared the delicious dressing and gravy. Sincere thanks to all the sisters who supplied a great variety of vegetables, salads and desserts. Thanks also to Mary and Victor Werner for delivering the chicken.

At 1 p.m., president Adolph Macha called the business meeting to order. All officers were present. Sister Elsie Brdecka led us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Members were happy to have Sister Matcek and son, Donnie, with us after a long absence.

Present and enjoying the activities was our ten-month-old member, Laura Beth Wrobliski. Also present were Brother Frank and Sister Elsie Brdecka, both of whom have been on our sick list. Sister Elsie is making excellent progress in her recovery and thanked members on behalf of herself and Frank for all the cards, telephone calls and visits. Our social member, Lydia Hortman, is in the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home in Needville and we wish her progress in her recovery.

Minutes of the August meeting were presented by Secretary Mary Werner and approved as read. She also read the financial secretary's report and a letter from member Karen Susan Brady, expressing her thanks and appreciation to Lodge 81 for the loan of a wheelchair.

Sister Karen, we are happy to report, has completely recovered from the recent surgery on both of her feet.

Sister Louise Newman reminded members that sick room and convalescent items such as walkers, wheelchairs, commode and a hospital bed are available for use by members of Lodge 81 when needed. Just call (409) 793-6859. There is no charge.

The financial report was approved as read by Treasurer Willie Mae Kuykendall.

Tim Vanecek (29), left, and Dale Kessel (18) caught in the middle of what seems to be an amusing story.

Special Fund Chairman Gilbert Walzel read the lodge activity calendar for the month and discussed the income and expenses of the Special Fund. Discussion followed his presentation and members voted to make monetary donations to S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home No. 2, Needville Police Department, Needville Fire Department, Fairchild Fire Department, Pleak Village Fire Department and the Richmond State School.

A letter of thanks was received from our scholarship recipient, Richard Harris.

Other correspondence read by President Macha included the 100 Percent SPJST Family Program now under way. 100 Percent information forms were distributed. A letter from Supreme Lodge President Leshikar concerning the application for Supreme Lodge scholarships for the 1993 college year was read. Vice President Edwin Susan urged members to keep accurate records of hours spent in performing fraternal services.

Now is the time to submit proposed changes in lodge rules and regulations for 1993 to Benita Walzel, chairman of the rules and regulations committee.

We thank members Vincent Joe and Jeanette Newman for donating a bulletin board to the lodge.

Under unfinished business, discussion was held on the status of the Texas Czech Mates dance group. Members voted that Lodge 81 will not sponsor the Texas Czech Mates nor will the group hold rehearsals in the lodge hall.

Under new business, the possibility of organizing an SPJST Youth Club at Lodge 81 was discussed and a vote was taken. The negative result means that no youth club will be organized at Lodge 81 in the foreseeable future.

Our next meeting will be held on Sunday, October 18, 1992, beginning with dinner at noon and business meeting at 1 p.m. The lodge will furnish ham and sausage and the sisters are asked to bring a vegetable dish and dessert.

Door prizes given by the lodge were won by Frieda Miller, Louise Newman, Vincent Joe Newman and Willie Mae Kuykendall. Sincere thanks to the members who donated additional door prizes.

These were won by Frank Brdecka, Elsie Brdecka, Darlene Blinka, Frances Kubala, Cheryl Newman and Laura Beth Wrobliski.

Summer is over and routines are undergoing the customary autumnal change of pace—days are shorter, the school year is well under way, the harvesting of crops is being completed and fall gardens are started. Football, county fairs, church bazaars, harvest festivals and cooler weather all foretell that soon another year will be ending.

Remember to include the October meeting in your schedule. The date is Sunday, October 18, 1992 at noon at the lodge hall. The business meeting will follow dinner and begin at 1 p.m. Please

Vestnik Project for October

Rudoph Firkugny Rudolph Firkdny, pianist, was born in Napayedli, Czechoslovakia, on February 11, 1912. Formal piano instruction for Rudolph began at the age of four. His mother brought him to the distinguished Bohemian composer, Leos Jana&k, who was living in Brno.

Janacek refused to teach Rudolph the piano, but did agree to give him instruction in composition if he would receive a general musical education.

On June 14, 1920, Rudolph made his concert debut as a soloist in a Mozart concerto with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. After launching his professional career in Vienna in 1923, he appeared indifferent parts of Europe for a few years. Rudolph took several years off in 1927 to study and then returned to the concert scene just prior to World War II. During this time he was able to build a following for himself of dedicat-

ed individuals-especially in Czechoslovakia were he was regarded as a favorite musical son.

During World War II, Rudolph arranged to visit the United States where he eventually came to reside.

Rudolph Firkurny was an ardent propagandist for the music of Czech composers. In 1941, he revived for America, Dvo'ilk's Piano Concerto in G Minor. It had not been heard in the U.S. for 65 years.

On October 22, 1968, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Czechoslovak Republic, he gave a concert of Czech music at Carnegie Hall in New York. By the time he celebrated the 35th anniversary of his debut in the U.S., 1973-74, he had toured Europe25 times, South America-10 times, Mexico-12 times, Israel-3 times and Australia-twice.

The manorial system was built around the lord, his lands, the peasants who worked for the lord and the main house or manor. The manor, which was often a castle, served as the heart of the manorial system. The purpose of the manorial system was to be a self-sufficient community. In order to do this, the lands of the manor covered hundreds and sometimes thousands of acres.

This land was used for farming, pasture for animals, hunting and for timber.

The part of the land on which the manor house itself was built was called the lord's demesne (pronounced di-mane).

Nearby were the stables, barns, a bakehouse, cookhouse and sometimes a windmill. There was also a chapel and rectory or priest's house a short distance away.

"What Saye Ye?" English spoken in the Middle Ages was very different than it is today. Chances are if you were transported back in time to England in the Middle Ages, you would be unable to understand much of what was being said, as the spellings and pronunciations of many words were not the same as they are now. Some words that were common in the late Middle Ages were put into expressions below. Try to match the expressions on the right to their modern meanings on the left. A good dictionary will help you, if you need assistance.

We had our 45th annual Burleson County Parade. Rebekah and I got to represent District I in the parade. Rebekah got to ride in a convertible and I got to carry a banner in front of the car.

My feet got tired but it was fun.

Rozhovor s Petrem Cibulkou, gefredaktorem Necenzurovany"ch novin (Ruda kravo).

(Pokraeovani) Co si myslig o Sladkove Republikanske strane?

7. fijna 1992 prominentnim pracovi gti s platem osm tisic korun me'siene, col je asi trojnasobek normalniho platu. Pokud se obklopi sobe rovnYmi, to znamend funkcionafem Socialistickeho Svazu Mladele Dr. Kovarem z Hodonina, anebo dalsimi lidmi z komunistickych rodin, tak si myslim le komunismu v Ceskoslovensku rozhodne ladne nebezpeei nehrozi. Pokud tohle ma bYt pravice.

Co tady delaji schopni a poctivi lids?

Schopni a poctivi lids se vetginou orientuji na ekonomiku a snali se podnikat.

Ja se obavam le je toie v tech nejsilnej gich stranach, ktere to nastreend figura. Pochazi z jsou schopny zaplatit, ul jsou koryta ultrakomunisticke rodiny, studoval v rozebrana. Angaiovat se v tech malYch Moskve, pracoval na cenzurnim tifade. stranach, to je prave na dlouhe roky a No a kdo mohl za komunistn pracovat nadeje na tispech je velmi maid; take na cenzurnim &ode, tak musel bYt netam se tito lids neorientuji. jkovanejk z nejkovanej gich. A najedJe nekolik vyjimek kteti se projevuji nou - mavnutim kouzelneho proutku politicky, i kdyl se politikou neiivi se z neho stal militantni antikomunista. tfeba Alena Hromadkova, bYvala V NecenzurovanYch novinach eislo mluvei Charty, je podle mne osm fikam, le kdybych ja byl hlavou mimoradna osobnost, rozhodne KGB a mel zajistit zajmy imperia na pravicove a konzervativne zapadnich hranicich, tak musim hlavne orientovand, potom Ing.

Jak u2 Snaill se nekdo sjednotit pravicove jsem o tom mluvil, v Ceskoslovensku strany? vladnou komuniste. Samozfejme pieTy snahy tady jsou, ale ja ye sjed- vleeen1; dnes ul se nikdo z nich noceni nevidim ladnY pfinos, pokud v nechlubi svou komunistickou eele sjednocene pravice nebudou stat minulosti. Tato kasta nema zajem o dnveryhodni lide, pokud tady bude antikomunistickou emigraci, to je vytvafena pravice umele, jako je tfeba pfirozene.

ODS kde v teto &Wile pravicove Kdyby se tito tide orientovali na nas strand stoji v &le nomenklaturni kadr ovgem my stojime po pas v bahne a po tistfedniho VYboru KS C Vaclav Klaus, nas se glape - tak samozfejme by tady kterr za komunista trpel na super- na§li spolupracovniky, ktefi by radi s

nimi spolupracovali. Ov gem do toho bahna se nikomu nechce; take hledaji kontakty u komunistu a jsou samozrejme zklamani, 2e o ne komuniste nemaji zajem.

Myslig ze by je g te byla moina nejaki spoluprice s emigraci, nebo uz to nema vyznam?

Spoluprace moind je. My jsme pfiproveni spolupracovat v podstate s kYmkoliv. Ovgem my nejsme na tom tak dobfe abychom byli schopni jezdit po svete a vyhledavat kontakty. Na to mail penize prave ti komuniste ktefi jsou u moci a maji ty miliony a miliardy, ti vytvafi ve svete zdani le oni jsou ta autenticka antikomunisticka pravice. dMy si myslime, le komuniste proto tak snadno ovladaji tuto spoleenost, protole tady neni konkurence v informacich. V podstate v gechno maji pevne v rukou; televizi, rozhlas, vgechny deniky. Vgechny krome Kudlaekova Ceskeho slova. Kudldeek, podle me, je jeden s faktorn kterY rozbil ten puvodni scendi Kdyby se emigrant KudIdeek nevratil do Ceskoslovenska, nedokazal by vydelat penize a neinvestoval je do deniku, tak tady komuniste mail naprosto v gechno. I to, co se vydava za pravicove deniky, ye skuteenosti maji oni pod kontrolou, protole tam maji svoje penize a jsou shcopni to kdykoli zlikvidovat nebo zmenit orientaci. To je podle mne ta Palkinova stragegie - infiltrovat se do seriozniho pravicoveho tisku a podfidit ho svYm zajmum. Take vlastne diky Kudidekovi a NecenzurovanYm novinam se tady ten komunistickY monopol trogku doff narugovat; ale tfeba co se Wee vYsledku voleb, tak na to jsme slab'. Tady by skuteene bylo potteba zorganizavat televizni a rozhlasove stanice a kvalitni deniky, ktere by mohly hrat roli v rozbiti informaeniho monopolu to bolS'evicke oligarchie, ktera tady dnes vladne.

Mel by jsi zajem otiskovat v Necenzurovanych novinich 'dinky lidi ze zahraniei?

To my &lame. U2 od sameho zaeatku mame rubriku `Jak to vidi exil' a tam publikujeme v gechny zava2ne materialy ktere se nam podafi ziskat.

My jsme velmi omezeni ve zdrojich informaci. My bychom potfebovali kdyby exil pro nas pfipravoval nejkvalitneigi materialy ke zvefejneni.

0 jake materialy by jste konkretne meli zajem?

sJsou to politicks materialy ktere se tYkaji jednak Ceskoslovenska, a jednak v girgim mefftku vztahn mezi demokracii a komunismem - kontrola moci zdola, neco o americkYch hodnotach, volitelnost §eriffi, soudcu, referenda, nebo gvYcarskY armadni system atd... To jsou v gechno veci ktere podle mne vYrazne demokracii posiluji. Zatimco odpUrci demokracie by nejradeji chteli aby volebni obdobi bylo na osm let, aby byly nejmene dve komory v parlamentu, aby president byl volen parlamentem. Proste v ge co je mono udelat pfimo jim neni pochuti a naopak se snail. v gechno co nejvice zkomplikovat, aby si uvolnili ruce k zakulisnim jednOnim, rnachinacfm, ke kabinetni politice.
