Hallettsville, Lavaca County, in the English Section. Everybody can see that there is plenty good reading in the English Section. Take the last Vestnik, it has "How to Influence New Members; "Improve Your Meeting:" and "The Five Years of .Growth;" also "The Slav and the Slavonic:" all these articles are good, for which we must give our editor credit. Now, I'll try to give a short report on our doings at our meetings, that is, if the editor wants to put it in print. First, I want to report on our February meeting which was on the 12th of February, and that was, as we all know, the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, and also birthday of our Lodge president, Brother Frank K. Bucek. So on that day, even that it was raining to some extent, members were there in very large number to help celebrate these two birthdays. Not only that we had plenty of good eats and drinks, but also we had good Czech music, waltzes and polkas. Everybody enjoyed it to the limit and everybody was wishing Brother Bucek that his birthday would come many more times. No one asked how young Brother Bucek was, but judging from the way he waltzed he is very young, and we can look for many more get-together like the one we had. So let's find out whose birthday is next, and let's make another member happy by celebrating with him or her and have another nice get-together.

the birthday of ThoMas Masaryk, which is cn March 7, and that today, March 10, two years ago, his son, Dr. Jan Masaryk, was murdered. Dr. Jan Masaryk delivered a speech in this University in 1942, many of you present heard him and shook hands with him. While visiting in our home, he inscribed a Bible for our oldest child, and, I am afraid, that we revere that inscription almost as much as the Bible. The death of Jan Masaryk served as a dnd cf trigger that set off bitter denunciations of the Czech Communists and the Soviet Union. The Western World was shocked out of its apathy and complacency. The United States, particularly, was rudely awakened to the fact that eight countries had been taken behind the Iron Curtain, and even when Czechoslovakia, the ninth, had been closed= in, it was accepted as a matter of normal consequence. It is a sad commentary that the death of a beloved man was necessary to set off the alarm. The realization was terrifying. A dead man, out of agony that brought him to his death, can sometimes speak more eloquently than one yet alive. If his death awakened the Western World to the danger of the spread of the Iron Curtain, perhaps it was not sacrificed in vain. ) s „„y,, *

every SPJST convention ever held. Of course, the editor would gladly take the advantage and write the article about your member, steal the show, but don't you think that it should come from some of you, heart-to-heart feeling? If someone from your lodge would do it, maybe the other lodges would get sort of jealous, , maybe somebody would recall that Brother So-and-so has served as secretary f_r 40 years, or as lodge president for 35 years, and they would begin to appreciate the work of the old members still living. That's what makes the Vestnik interesting: write about your own member,,; and let the third and the fourth generation read it. —Once more, thanks for coming in with your report, and don't be afraid that a news from your Lodge would be dropped into a wastebasket.

Lodge Pokrok Moulton, No. 27 Dear Brothers and Sisters: It has been quite some time since I wrote to you, the readers of our official organ "The Vestnik." My last letter was written in regards to cur plans, that is the members of our local Lodge, Pokrok Moulton, were endeavoring in securing a school and land that was closed due to the passage of the GilmerAiken Bill. We have accomplished a great many things in this respect in spite cf the strong opposition of a very few members who, it seems, just can't or won't keep 'up• with the progress that is being carried on all around us and'who would like to see things stay as they were some 25, 30 or more years ago. The members,, Who volunteered their services at the called meeting last fall, got busy and pushed the plans unrelentiously, in spite cf the opposition, and today, we have something to be proud of. Of course, things could be better but Rome wasn't built in one day nor have we been able to fix things up in such a short a time. The volunteer committee looked over the school building and agreed to subNOTICE!

Where else could she learn those Czechoslovakian songs cent in Czechoslovakia? There were other Czech names on the same program, Sonja Skrotzky and Carol Stasta. Altogether, twelve countries were represented in this particular program prepared by Miss Hornak. By the way, if you don't know, she is the daughter of Joseph and Anna Hornak, of College Station. All this is told for one main reason. Use your children in your lodge prog rams. Give them a part. Put them on the stage. Display them. Cut out these long, windy talks. Replace grandfathers with grandchildren when it comes to deliver speeches. Decorate the stage with the old-timers, but when it comes to put spark, pep, shine and life into your program, use the fresh minds, quick steps of the youth. You get more smiles and better results. ) • .13 •
Time and again we have been stressing the importance and the advantage of using children in connection with every lodge program. Children are always more co-operative. They, as a rule, don't object to be maneuvered around. The younger the children are on the program, the more responsive; the more appreciative is the audience. The program sparkles with that touch of youth and spontaneity which everybody enjoys. Every club and organization employs the talent of the children to the full advantage. Thus, the children are initiated more or less into the club and lodge activities from the early age. Those childhood impressions are lasting. Take, for instance, the ingenious work of Miss Ann Hornak, new librarian for the children's roam at the Houston Public Library. Your associate editor talked with Miss Hornak a few days ago (By Julia W.

That woman is typical of many: people who do not seem to have any real existence apart from the elaborate shell of material things; people who never enjoy a trip—not even their trip through life—because they are always worried about their luggage. One does not have to be wealthy to have this happen. We recall a visit to a very poor woman far out in the country. Her mother had just passed away, and the old hothe was on the point of being broken up. We found this woman surrounded with a .hopeless litter of useless objects: old hardware, old magazines, old clothes—the accumulation of two or three generations—which she seemed incapable of bringing herself to destroy or give away, although keeping them was seriously impeding her plans for the future. It isn't owning things that matters, but being owned by them. For every man or woman who has learned the secret of not being victimized by this world's goods there must be many more who have not learned that secret. The millionaire, stifled under the burden of property, looking back wistfully to the days when he was really free is as true in fact as he is in fiction. Once let your possessions get a hold on you and they become as much a part of you as the barnacles on a ship and even harder to get rid of. The rich young ruler found it easy to do all else that the Master commanded except to free himself from the shackles of his wealth. "He went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions." Travel light as you go through this world; it will make the journey less fatiguing. The earth is yours, and also the fullness thereof. Why limit your enjoyment to those things which can be had only with your money? After all, some of the most exquisite experiences of life come to us from things we can never hope to "own" in any literal sense—sunset on the mountains, sound of one's name spoken in love, the scent of a rose. These are the best "possession" of all things. They will "lighten the going" and not add to the pack we carry through life. Travel light.--Rosicrucian Digest, March 1950. ) • • IIIASARYK'S VIEW ON OPPOSITION "I could, and -probably I would be justified if I did, react to some of the recent expressions of opposition.
