FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK For Your Kind Information Br. Navratil has been approached by individual members who wish to furnish a complete room in the rest home in memory of some loved one but who wondered how that room would show the memorial.

It is a wondrous way to pay tribute to your loved one, and for $300 a living person will use that tribute to your beloved, given in the name of God's love to mankind, for all the times to come, to give witness that you have understood our slogan— Benevolence, Humanity, and Brotherhood. 4o ONE OF OUR YOUNG MEMBERS MARRIED Daniel Hanus, member of Lodge 66, and son of Brother and Sister Otto Hanes, was married on the night of April 19. The bride is the former Miss Tobey Lu Chandler of Waco , Texas, daughter of Mrs. Bryan Chandler. The bride is a graduate of Waco Academy, attended Baylor University and a -business school. Mr. Hanus is a graduate of Waco High School, attended San Antonio Junior College. On April 26, a shower was given in their honor by Mesdames Chandler and Hanus at Linden Hall. Daniel's father is very active in our fraternity, former president of our District Three. Whenever an opportunity arises we are glad to express our best wishes from our whole fraternity. We thank Mrs. Rose Parma for this report and assure all of our members that any report of this kind will be given the deserved space in our Vest-.

To Mother America, dedicated May 12 to its mothers, both living and dead. Ever since the dawn of creation the wise men of all ages have humbly saluted the spirit of motherhood as a source of all ti',at is good in the human race. Our thoughts also turn to the holy 'mother, Mary, us a symbol of unending love, and devotion to the world's children, who come to her for con:fort and strength in prayer. Regardless of race, color or creed, human beings lose the characteristics of anything human when they purge themselves from within the instincts of decency that all men inherit from their mothers.

over by many persons in humility and thanksgiving to their mother who staunchly stood behind the fledgling, oblivious to all else but the love and conviction in her heart. Thomas Edison, the inventive genius of our times who has done more for his generation than any other to eliminate drudgery from life and add to its comfort , said: .imother was the making of me. She was. so : true, so sure of me, and.I felt thatj.: haVisomeone to . for,- someone I . . must not - disappoint." The saddest part in our life 'comes. when one has children one's own and mother is already gone, It is too late to tell her how much you appreciate her and just what she really is to you. All through our life we all find themselves remembering: How mother did this or that, what she thought, what she- said, and pattern our own households to a great extent by this environment. This influence is sometimes seen in the , great grandchildren. The idea of Mother's Day originated with Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia and . was celebrated by a number of ci qes in the United States in 1910. President Wilson officially proclaimed the second Sunday in May as' Mother's Day with the display of the American Flag on government buildings and private homes, in the year of 1914. As we pin our white corsages 'on our dress Sunday, May 12th, in memory of our dead mothers, or our pink corsages for our living mothers, let us all resolve to be a better parent for our family to remember us by when we have passed on to the great beyond, to be remembered with loving thoughts and cherished memories, as you are now remembering your mother. To all of our mothers in the SPJST fraternity, may your day be filled with loving faces , pleasant thoughts and gladdened hearts at your hearth, to make this day -a. memorable one for you. ) • a • L._

Many a man in this world pays tribute to his mother for her inspiration, her belief in him, her wise counsel and comfort during the formative years of his life. "I never could have made it, but for Let's all remember to help our Rest my mother," has been said over and Home for the Aged!

District Seven Accepts The District Seven meeting of the SPJST held its semi-annual meeting at the Sokol Hall Sunday, April 28, in the city of Corpus Christi, Texas. One might say the meeting was rained out for the crowd was not as large (though a nice size) as the Corpus Christi gatherings have a reputation of being. They had had a two inch rain for which they were thankful for it was needed There was a lot of our fraternity that would have liked to send them some of the overabundant moisture that fell in many other places in our state theSe last few days. It was the pleasure of the editor and wife to travel in company with some of the Supreme Lodge members, and our thanks goes to Br. Koliha who drove us safely and sanely through all of that 'weather and detours, there' and back. Br. Marek and Br. Navratil were the other two '''back seat drivers" who helped the editor and spouse give the patient brother at the wheel a good ribbing. Anyway, we left before 4 o'clock in the morning for Corpus Christi in rain and in rain we rode all the way to Seguin, where the plop-plopping of the windshield wiper finally got some rest. The rest of the journey into Corpus Christi was clear, though there had been rain previously. The Texas Highway Department has been very busy these days, probably working around the clock, clearing blocked underpasses, roads, detouring traffic and otherwise making themselves indispensable in preventing accidents and possibly death from dangerous road conditions due to the weather. One saw thud at intervals along the route to Corpus Christi. At such a time, it strikes one as one of their most responsible jobs is working for the safety of the motorist that is caught on the road.

As we neared CorpUs Christi, however, we saw nice stands, of cotton and the corn and maize was waist high_ in some places. They had - had only two inches of rain which had been needed and everyone was thankful for it. Rows of stately palms and masses of oleander flowers made our entrance into the city sort of festive. The geraniums too, were beautiful in the gardens as well as white Easter lilies, roses and various cut flowers. The Seventh District Organizers meeting was in progress when we arrived. Br. Jaroslav Kleprlik, chairman of the meeting and Br. Chas. Cerny, the district organizer, were effectively conducting the meeting through its business so that the main body of the District Seven meeting and all its visitors would not s have to wait too long to open the general meeting with its Youth Program.

We missed Br. Hejny, needless to say, who was representing our fraternal order in an 85th Anniversary Celebration of the founding of the City of Ennis , from whence Br. Hejny comes. Brothers Kleprlik, Troubil, Shortner, Rektorik, officers in this meeting, handled the usual business of reading the last minutes, the various reports pertinent to the district, very smoothly. Brothers Marchak and Navratil, officers in the SPJST Rest Home, gave us a report on the progress of the rest home, The foundation work was halted by the rainy weather but will resume work just as soon as the bulldozers can work in the earth. Br. Marchak warned that the allotment set aside by the SPJST will not be enough to set the home up completely for operation—that much more will be needed, urging'memhers to give NOW when it is needed the most to complete this wonderful We saw many large earthen stock memorial to the Texas Czechs of our tanks (which are expensive) washed SPJST. away to rock bottom with the rushing Br.

Br.

This statement was ac-

cepted with a spontaneous applause of the meeting, It was then moved and seconded to make a voluntary collection there in the meeting. Immediately our Director Chas. Holasek , in his big heart, popped a $100 check into the hat followed by others. There was gladness on the faces of all those present from the smallest to the biggest contributor when it was reported that over $200.00 was collected by the chairman of this collection, Mrs. 73etty Jurica and her staff. ; It is, indeed, more blessed to give than to receive and many hearts felt good Sun ay. As Br. Marek; our presideq, said: "You are writing your name on a piece of work tliat, will be here long after we are all gone. You are doing a work of which you need not be ashamed or afraid. We are not one 'of those insurance companies that are in the scandals or are being investigated. We are with the BEST of them in this state. There are no hidden clauses in our policies. Our policies are paid out in full as they have always been paid out. Our directors are all working for bettering our fraternal order to go forward, not stay behind, in fact, our whole organization is working toward this goal. Our whole organization is working in harmony for the good of all, not just one. In the name of those brothers that could not be here today. I bring greetings and best wishes." In Br. Koliha's address: "Like Abraham. Lincoln said years ago: 'Equal rights to all, special privileges to none.' I firmly believe that our youth will find its place when our present leaders have passed on. I am like home in this Seventh District, for I am from the Seventh District even though like a great many others who are scattered over this state, do not live here at the present time but always glad to help when requested and I believe in i.ng this home for the aged that we will all do our part to which end I wish you all a lot of success and extend . to you `Nazdar,' success to all! Br. Navratil then entreated: "Brothers and sisters, I beg of you to take this wonderful enthusiasm manifested here today back to your home lodges. We have the best policies available and if you talk about them to your youth, we need not fear that we cannot entice that youth to carry on our torch for us. Bickering, however, will not drag them, to us. The more young health/ children we shall sign up, the more favorable advantages we shall have in our policies."

trana 18 Br. Skrabanek and wife of District Five, from Houston, together in the company of Br. Hi'slier, president of District Five, were the visiting delegation to this meeting to present the -Challenge" to this district. Br. Skra banek and good fellowship are synonymot!, presented the challenge of 1-% !; iiing up more ;.1surarice retroactive from .Tanuary 1, 1):i5'; through June 30, 1001, md then toga ,her with Districts 3 and b , Challenged all the other districts in our fraternity to win a. big ' iced" from them.

In this -manner, w' -believe that we can awaken not only the hose lodges but the Supreme Lodge as well, and we want to extr.::.'.d to -you this ( . 1 alienge in the same as it is presented to you," Br.Skrahanek explained.- Now those Houston- boys are getters" where there's an orreal • gaJd .zer . - banquet concerned.

ORGANIZERS PAGE VIEWS OF AN ORGANIZER Ennis, Texas, April 29, 1957 "I am insurance poor." That is an answer that every organizer is' accustomed to hearing. It is possible for a person to carry more insurance than he can afford but people that are insurance poor usually are poor on insurance. When I receive this answer, I always ask for the amount of insurance carried by the prospect. The answers I get are often quite interesting. Nine times out of ten the prospect names a burial policy with a local burial association, fire insurance on his home and improvements, car insurance, and maybe insurance on a business in the case of the business man. Very few men underestimate the necessity of insurance on their prized possessions ,namely their home and automobile, yet they do not realize what is the most prized possession of their family. Much too often the home or the auto has a mortgage against it and if the breadwinner of the family should be removed by the cold hand of fate, these possessions would be lost to the family. Every man should realize that to his family, adequate insurance on his life is as important as fire insurance on his home. They are both essential. Fraternally yours, Alvin Nesuda, Ennis Organizer • 4) • ( MISS-INFORMED BR. SKRABANEK Attention: All District Organizers, Organisers, alnd Members of Districts 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7: San Antonio, April 29, 1957 I promised Bro. Hejny, our state organizer, to have my monthly report in this week's is ue, but an emergency has come up that requires this very special message; so please forgive, Bro. Vice President, but my regular report will have to come later. Bro. J. M. Skrabanek came with a car load, all the way from Houston through rain, hail and high water to our District 7 meeting at Corpus Christi yesterda ywith an idea to promote a "free" dinner for organizers in his district and Bro. Vrla's District in No. 3. He made a "Challenge" for a contest backed up by Bro. Vrla, Dist. No. 3 organizer. It is a shame, but he certainly, in my opinion, made an error. Instead, we, the rest of the organizers in the other five districts, have a big dinner coming to us for free. Bto. Skrabanek of No. 5 made a very bold statement; he said before the whole audience that he believed that since

Districts 3 and 5 were engaged in a contest between themselves, that he felt positive that Districts 3 and 5 would wind up writing more insurance than the rest of us 5 other districts all put together. In fact Skrabanek was so sure that his and Vrla districts could beat the rest of us in this SPJST that he made a challenge to us in our Corpus Christi meeting that his and No. 3 organizers would buy every organizer in the rest of our districts a big dinner, if we could beat Districts 3 and 5, providing that if they beat us other 5 districts, that our organizers would buy them a dinner. Before "Miss-Informed" Skrabanek had a chance to sit down, our very alert Director Bro. Holasek of Corpus Christi jumped up to the microphone and said, without a stutter, "WE ACCEPT." Honestly, brothers and sisters, I like Brothers Skrabanek and Vrla very much —they are good workers in our SPJST, but when they think they can beat the rest of us 5 districts, they sure are "miss-informed." Apparently they don't know that District 7 is already (without any challenge) writing about twice as many new members as they have done in the past, and according to information from VP Hejny, the rest of the districts! are also doing about twice as much.

Producing Organizers First Three Months! -- There should be more names listed next moth! — — HAVE YOU DONE YOUR PART TOWARDS DOUBLING SALES FOR THIS YEAR? A. W. VRLA, District Organizer ( I FRATERNALISM AND CHRISTIANITY The world needs fraternalism; it is a partner of Christianity. Do you all remember that it was said: "He that loved not his brother whom he can see, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" And it was further said by the Master: "I give Unto you this command, that ye love one another." Arc we too prone to overlook these principles of life?

"Uncle Mike," asked, a small boy, "how does it come you're so wise?" Because I've got good judgment," said the old man. "Good judgment comes from experience, and experience—well, that comes from poor judgment."

You better live your best and act your best and think your best today; for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows —Harriet Martineau that follow.

Fortunately , Editor Hosek was present in our meeting; he heard every word clearly because he was sitting in the front row. He promised me before the entire audience that he would see that the "truth and nothing but the truth" would be published in the Vestnik. So Bro. Skrabanek and Bro. Vrla can't "wiggle" out of this. The editor will also verify that I accepted the Challenge from "Miss-Informed" Skrabanek on behalf of the rest of us 5 districts.

In District 7 so far at every District meeting' our Youth was divided equally Discussions were made about the Rest Home at Taylor. Brother Marchak gave a report on the Home. A motion was made and passed that volunteer donations will be excepted, of course, who would volunteer, but yours truly. So I had my lunch and then I started out to see what could be collected. In the few minutes that I worked, I collected eighty-eight dollars. This amount is from members of the Seventh District. Iwant to thank everyone of you for the donations. LODGE ANTON J.

Here on the coast a good rain fell early Saturday morning and Sunday evening. Total of rainfall amounted to 4 inches .This was the best thing that could have happened here in the South.

S. T., it is my pleasure and honor to welcome you to our meeting today. We the Youth of this District, hope that you will enjoy the program that has been prepared by our Youth Directors, which program will be presented for your entertainment today. We are indeed grateful to have the opportunity to be here with you today and in a loyal National Spirit help to preserve the Constitution of the United States of America, and in a Fraternal Spirit, help to preserve , for the future generations, the principals of our beloved S. P. J. S. T. It is with programs and meetings such as the one we are attending today, that we have the opportunity of developing traits and practices that will help us to become loyal and staunch citizens of the United States of America, in the future years and also be useful leaders in our SPJST. The Youth of The SPJST is especially grateful to our Youth Directors, who spend, countless hours, patiently, working with us on the various projects, to make us youngsters better citizens of the United States of America, as well as better members of The SPJST, without the least thought of their own personal reward. Such is the policy of our Fraternal Order, the SPJST, and so long as we find 'members of this great Fraternal Order to do so, we are not divided, in the Principals upon which our Order was founded and although we may have different views , as citizens of these Free United States of America, we still stand united for those Principals upon which our SPJST was founded, by our fore-

As we present the program today, it is with a sincere wish that each and everyone 'of you, have a pleasant stay with us and that when you leave from this Meetingg, that you. will always have a reverent thought of all of us. On behalf of the Youth of the Seventh District, as well as the Youth of the entire State of Texas, I wish to thank each and everyone of you, for the splendid cooperation and it is my sincere wish that WE, all will help to preserve, for future generations, those principals upon which our SPJST was founded , that is BENEVOLENCE, HU1VIANITY and BROTHERHOOD.

DANESOVY DETI (Poltradovani) Mlada cikank.a prisla k Prokopovi, cell oblieej mu potrela takovou divn.ou tekutinou, snad to byl njakY olej — aby byl tak tmavY jako ostatni cikani. Prevlekla ho v otrhane gaty po Arpadovi, race mu zadernila sazemi s kotle a na hlavu mu posadila start', velikY klobouk, aby mu nebyly videt jeho pekne hnede vlasy. Udelala z neho za chvilku otrhaneho eikana.. . Zatim tu jiZ byl Arpad se c1Zbankem mieka a nekolika krajieky chleba, ktere yyZebral v blizke vesnici. Mieko cicistaly jen tri male de,Ai.

Prokop se chtel zeptat, kam ma jit pro brambory, ale je gte neZ otevtel Usta, -gvihl ho stark cikan bieem a zatval: "Tahni, kluku!" Arpad se zasmal, chytil Prokopa za ruku a oba, utikali, aby zmizeli cikanovi s "Nic si z toho nedelej !" povidal se smi chem Arpad, "to start' to east() bieem znieri!

"Hale jen co je pravda, svitit by tu e gte nemugeli. To je plyjtvani. Dyjt' mame sotva sedm. hodin a den jako tele," a hledel dal na v gecko zase jako by se octl v Jitikove videni. . . Ale kdyt videl, vgichni vystupuji po nekolika mramorovYch, airokYch schodech a ztraceji se naproti ye dverich, dodal si kurRe a pustil se za nimi. Dostal se do dost wip e, okrouhle chodbioky, kde asi dvema nebo them, sleeinkam stark. pant nejaka prave otevrela, dvere. Hrnul se rychle za nimi a chtel se zase talc eerstva protahnout. Led to pani byla nejaka. phisna. Rychle natahla rulcu, zastavila Sktivanka, dvete pied nosem, samy se mu zavtely a jen bylo sly get "Prosim, 11stek." "Zase listek," povzdychl si vYmenkat. "V ty Praze sou na listky zrovna posedli." Cerstve postavil kokeek na zem, dakanu zastreil pod rameno a sahl do kapsy. Chtel sine "Ja sem na tudleto divadlo vez kamen, mohli byste me tam tera, pustit zadarmo," piece vgak vytahl z mechuriny korunku a padal/al ji to eerne pant se slovy: "Rad bych nekam, de bych dabre vial, ha inch si s..ednout, but nohy necitim." "listky se prodavaji dole u pokladny — ten ko gik s holi musite odlotit v gatne a pak sem teprve ptijd'te," odpovedela mu: panioka, s ylidnYrn usmevem a Skrivanek teprve ted' si v giml, jak kaZdY, net mu otevte, podo ji listek, ona si z • kakleho kousek u glculane a pak teprve ho puSti dal.

Nerad sine, ale piece take yytahl z mechutiny krejcar a polokl jej do nastavene diane a pak teprve bez zavady veael na vlastni chodnik mostovy. Sluneeko na za.pade nad Strahovem a v jeho svetle i teple koupala se pied 0dima starcovYma Praha. "Zlata., zlata Praha," g eptal si Sktivanek a at zamrkal prekvapenim, kdyZ spattil sluncem zalite ostrovy vlta yske, ZidovskY, StteleckY a pak i Zofin, vaechny zelene, listnatYm stromovim posazene. Nad jezem proti produ dYmaly parnieky, retez VOru vtahoval se pod mostni oblouky, lide projadeli se na lodlokach, Iovili ryby, vytahovali pisek a voda sama dole v reeiati jako rortavene zlato, Ceti se, ttese, vinky pa ni beli, jinak vgak stoji, jako by to ne teka, ale rybnric byl. Ted' se podival bred sebe a naraz podle obrazku v kalendarich poznal Narodni divadlo. Pozlacena stfecha jeho horela ye sluneenim svetle a v oknech alehaly jakoby plameny. Musy na cimburi se unuivaly a bronzova triga, nedayno teprve postavena, vzpinala se jako k smelemu skoku zavratne vfae dolti do hlubiny na tvrdou dlallau. Dojem byl tak silnY a kouzlo umeleckeho dila tak podmarmjici, Ze prostieke srdce Sktivankovo zachvelo se mu v hrudi. Norko i mraz prebehly mu telern, slzy skoeily mu do °di a on mimovolne ruce sepjal i beranieku smekl. "Kaplieka — kaplieka na stribropermou Vltavou," vyhoupla se mu v duk frase, jak ji east° slYchal ditdval. Vzpomnel si, jak se na tohle divadlo sbiralo, jak vyiomili balvan do jeho zakladai na upati Oarchova, jak jej lipovymi vet yemi ozdobili, volky vyknotili a jak on — Skrivanek — tehdy mlady sedlak, jak jej vezl do mesta na nadrak. Na vaecko zaponmel, na policejni tedi"Tak si tera, dyt to itRUM byjt, teky telstvi, na straZniky, na malite Tra y -nieka,rovuspechalkdivu. koupim listek," mrzute povida stated a hrne se zpet.

Vime, sem zdaleka, habych mob potom Boma gruntovne gecko povedet, ca ha jak bude." Pan se usmal, sal-11 do knihy, utrhl 11stek a povida: "Tu je vstupenka do phizemi, budete spokojen, stoji etyri korunky." "Cakry g ! S • tyry korunky povidate?" pro jistotu optal se Skfivanek, zda-li se nepteslechl, a podrbal se phi torn za uchem. "Ano, etyti koruny." "Ha lacnijalho nemate nic?" • "Take mame. Naproti u kasy mista k stani a na galerlich. Ale to jsou mista vesmes daleko a vysoko od jevigte." "Ha cak — neslevil byste neco?" HlazitY smich se ozval kolem. "Zde se nesmlou ya," usmal se i pakladnik vesele, ale pak hued a dost osthe pokraeoval: "Musite se rychie rozhodnout a nezdrtovat mne, hle, obecenstvo eeka." Skiivanek se ohledl a vskutku videl, jak za nim netrpelive nrealapuje tadka lidi. "Tak si to nechte," furiantsky se rozhodl a odeael od kasy. Jak se otoeil, spattil tu zase polica.jta.
