cause he was getting prepared for ihis
stay in tlie hospital and wislied the
gathering a suecessful occasion, and
stated that the Supreme Lodge is ready
to help the district in any way possible,
It was brought to everyone’s attention
that Brother Jno. Trlica (20), oldest
sales representative of District II and
in the SPJST, is still confined to a
hospital,
This being the most outstanding
testimonial dimier in District II, is the
record of achievement set forth from
these functions. In order to fully ap-
preciate the impact of our efforts, time
and taients, we háve but to recall our
history of achievements over these
four years. It serves a, call for pride
and distinction to a fore-sighted So-
ciety such as ours. This honor belongs,
in part to each of those dedicated rep-
resentatives who háve contrihuted so
unselfishly and willingly to enjoy
membership in the SPJST Society, and
who háve engineered a suecessful
course thus far.
In conclusion, let your editor statě
that we admire ea.ph and everyone of
you for your devotedness to your So-
ciety. You háve been endowed with a
rich heritage handed down to you by
your founding íathers. You are among
the front line fighters of those work-
ers for a better future for our chil-
idren and their succeeding generations,
you are working for a better worid,
blessed with peace based on the prin-
ciples of brotherhood, which cannot
help but triumph over political ideo-
logies not in accord with the principles
and ideals of fraternalism to which we
háve subseribed and dedicated our-
eelves.
It is our sincere hope and wish that
you left the occasion with renewed
enthusiasm to further caerry on the
work of your representatives, with a
determination and faith that yours is
a work blessed as an example worthy
of all to follow.
To us it was gratifying to observe
such a nice event with so many of the
older members still being so active, and
with their continued cooperation, along
with the newer members, the spirit of
this district can prosper and look for-
ward to many fruitful years.

March 7th marks the birthday of
Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, the first
president of the Czechoslovak Republic.
He Is known as “President-Liberator”
by the people of his counťry. We háve
VĚSTNÍK
just observed the birthdays of Lincoln,
and Washington. The lives of many
great men teach us many things, one
of which, is to háve unswerving faith
in what you believe in and stand for.
A person who is respected has his own
convictions, he is not afraid to statě
and explain them and defend them
and is a person who is able to gain
friends and their respect and trust and
a person of strong convictions and
has a very strong backbene. If a per-
son has a negative approach and atti-
tude, then his ability to build and be
constructive in his thinking is almost
nik. The three great men mentioned
above were all men with their own
strong convictions and constitutions.
We must all realize that the power
to lead us to the little gate called
“success” is within each one of us in-
dividually, and nowhere else. No one
will lead us or push us to that little
gate; we, and we alone, can do that!
If we háve our minds filled with
thoughts about our illnesses, bad luck,
our poor statě economically, and such,
then we háve no plače left in our mind
' for anything constructive. Think about
this.
A person in that statě of mind falls
into a statě of chroníc nervousness and
slowly but surely loses all hormony and
generally degenerates. This is a faet
proven by many doctors. A person does
the best thing that he can do for him-
self if he washes all critieism, com-
plaining, sourness and jealousy from
his life.
A sour and disgusted face is not
something pleasant for others to look at.
Sometimes a mirror thrust in front of
our face unexpectedly would reaily
give us a surprise if not a shock. Had
President Masaryk carried a defeatist
attitude even after the hard-earned in-
dependence of his country was won,
with great assistance from the United
States and President Wilson, then he
would not háve been able to accomplish
what he and Dr. Eduard Beneš did.
Bringing demoeracy to the Czecho-
slovak Republic was not a simple task.
President Masaryk ra;n liead-on into
resistance with his devout belief in our
American-type of demoeracy. There
were minorities demanding to be heard
from, his land reforms met strong op-
position to separate church and statě
and many other changes patterned
after ours. However, with kindness and
respected convictions, ha brought the
republic together, and Czechoslovakia
became known as the most democratic
country in entire Europe.
