without running against another candidate whom he does not
want to offend.
I thank you for your consideration,
Sincerely,
Emil E. Matula
Lodge No. 133
***
Lodge No. 20, Granger
Apríl 13, 1992
Recommendations to the SPJST By-Law Committee:
1. Add to Article 37. — President, page 31 —
(b), will serve as Chairman of the Board and preside at all Supreme
Lodge meetings.
Then, delete Article 43 (b)
The Chairmanship of the SPJST was changed in the 1984 Convention. We feel
that the chair should be returned to the President because he is centrál to the en-
tire Society. The Directors each háve valuable contributions, but they are not a
part of the daily operation of the Supreme Lodge.
2. Though the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Homes are not addressed in the by-iaws, we
strongly feel that the ownership of these homes should be explained to the
membership. If we own them, we should háve a stronger voice in their opera-
tions. If we do not, the monetary donations and support should be given
throughout the statě. The good works and charity should not stop, but there
should be more equitable distribution, reaching more of our old and sick. It
should be noted that at present, the SPJST members residing in these homes
number approximately 5%.
3. The District Youth Counselors are elected at each district meeting. In the
past when a lodge youth leader was elected to this office, he or she no longer
served as lodge youth leader. In order to insure that this happens, perhaps the
following change couíd be made:
Insertion to Article 45. (Districts), page 43, where deemed appropriate.
Though some gifted individuals could do a good job with both, there is a defi-
nite confíict of interest in these two offices. A lodge youth leader promotes the
achievements and activities of his or her lodge members and a district youth
counselor must do the same for all the youth of the district, fairly and imparti-
ally.
Sincerely and fraternally,
Leslie Loessin, President Rubie Loessin, Secretary
Albin Machu, Vice President Bridget Bohac, Treasurer
Norma Cavanaugh, Financial Secretary

Lodge Karel Jonáš
No. 28, East Bernard
Dear Members:
Sunday, the 3rd of May, Karel Jonáš
will hold its 5th monthly meeting of
1992 at 2:00 p.m. in the meeting room
at 106 Leveridge Street. This being the
next to last meeting before the conven-
tion, a normál "Order of Business" will
be followed with convention issues
being the main focus of the agenda.
May being the Motheťs Day month,
mothers present in the meeting will be
honored.
A fraternal hour will be held, with
the luncheon starting upon the ad-
journment of the business meeting.
Our monthly meeting on the rainy,
dreary and just plain miserable Sunday
of Apríl 5th started on time but did not
follow a standard "Order of Business."
From the three 50-year membership
pin recipients, present, one had to
leave early. Brother Jerry Mikuláš, Su-
preme Lodge Financial Secretary, was
present to do the honors. Since the
weather was very wet and bad, this
writer was pleasantly surprised to see
the three recipients make it to the
meeting. All three had to come to the
meeting from out-of-town. Brother
Mikuláš told us he was tempted sev-
eral times to turn back to Temple be-
cause of this very bad weather and
poor driving conditions between Tem-
ple and East Bernard. This writer was
prepared for such possibility when
Brother Jerry walked through the dooř.
We wish to thank him for being able to
get to our meeting to present the pins.
Even though the day was grey, the
luncheon was well received. All food
was donated and those who stayed, had
plenty to choose from.
This writer has seen and read some
of the proposed changes that háve
been sent to the By-Law Committee.
Although the committee will be "sift-
ing out the chaff" and doing a good job
of it he wishes to add: there will be
that slim chance of one or more bad
changes to slip through. Many he has
read, seem to him to be nothing more
than a ploy for someone’s own per-
sonál gain and not for the good of the
Society as a whole. These proposed
changes were not thought out nor were
they weighed out in terms of cost to
the Society in prestige as well as
money. This writer suggests
STRONGLY, that each delegáte read
each proposed change and, especialíy
those approved by the committee and
ask themselves the following ques-
tions: Is this good for the Society as a
whole?; Will this hurt the prestige of
the Society?; Will this keep the mem-
bers of the Society from having a say
in the operation of the Society?; Will
our Society be a democratic Society or
will the deciding POWER be left in
the hands of the few? Remember dele-
gates: there is always someone who
will try to convince you that they
know what is good for you and for the
Society. You and you alone can decide
what is good for you. DO NOT GIVE
UP YOUR RIGHT TO DELIBERATE.
ENOUGH SAID!!!
To the faithful: See you on Sunday
the 3rd and this writer remains —
Fraternally yours,
Joseph D. Nezval, President
