A REPORT FROM THE REST HOME
IN TAYLOR
(Translated from the Czech by the
, Editor)
I recall the time when I was travel-
ing to a district meeting in Wichita
Falls, Texas, with Sister Bessie Valcik.
We had stopped to visit her son. Dr.
Valcik, who has a very nice medical
clíníc in Decatur. This was shortly be-
fore the Temple Convention in 1956.
During the entire trip there and back,
we talked about how to bring to reality
the construction of a rest home, which
Svas being talked about a whole lot, but
about which no one had any definite
ideas. A majority of our membership
recognized the need for such a rest
home. Before Sister Valcik and I part-
ed I promised her that I would offer
a proposal in the coming convention
for the construction of a rest home
for our aged members, and she, in
turn, was going to work on the idea
among the various delegates to the
convention. In feeling out the dele-
gates, I felt that the feelings were di-
vided about 50-50, for and against. The
Supreme Lodge and the directors were
mostly opposed to the idea — under-
standably perhaps, since they were re-
luctant to assume such a great respon-
sibility.
From my experiences as a delegáte
to many conventions I had observed
that about 8 out oí 10 proposals offered
3
in a convention were passed, and this
was the čase at this convention. When
I recommended that the SPJST make a
$1*0(5,000 donation toward the con-
struction of a rest home, it was ac-
cepted and passed and that amounfe
was allocated for the project.
Of course, like many beginning en-
terprises, it was not entirely success-
ful, and it was soon evident that the
allotted sum was not enough. The
number of occupants was at first
smáli, since there seemed to be a certain
amount of distrnst in such an insti-
tution. It became necessary to admit
non-members as well as non-Czechs, so
as to insure the proper administration
of the home. The main cred.it for over-
eoming these early difficulties goes to
Brother Steve Valcik, the first man-
ager of the rest horné.
Our rest home operates today and is
incorporated under the name “SPJST
Rest ITome.” it is self-supoOrting and
šelf -suffieient. It is governed by seven
díreetors, elected from the seven
SPJST districts, who select a manager
from the home, who, in turn, governs
himself according to the policies of
these seven directors. There is also an
“Invest.igating Committee,” which pass-
es on the admittance of new residents
into the home.
The seven directors at present are
as follows:
Sid Pokladník — president
H. W. Marcak, vine president
Melvin Pkrabanek — secretary
Fdwin Kovar — trcasurer
Fred Kveton
Paul Sablatura
J. M. Skrabanek
These directors serve frče, exccpt for
