FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK ' ATTENTION PLEASE, READERS! Your editor is cutting the editorial to the minimum this week in order to try to catch up with inserting the large backlog of material, especially youth letters. • Remember the District V and District VI YADs in Houston (88) and Ilillje (40), respectively, Sunday, July 16. See programs in DYC section. • • Please he sure to read SL Financial Secretary Zabcik's letter in the Sapreme Lodge section. ♦ District III held its fourteenth annual Youth Achievement Day at Lodge No. 25, in Ennis on June 25th before a contented audience. District III again has recorded a large amount of participants consisting of talent, art, crafts, and royalty. Now all the entrants can take a bow for another successful presentation and demonstration. No one can visualize what our youth of the SPJST can present or create for demonstration until we witness something of this type by attending these worthy functions, beginning in your local lodge, district and at state. When we speak of support, a good example was exemplified by the membership of Lodge No. 35, Elk, who supported their youth all the way by
GIVE ME A FRIEND Give me a friend, and I'll worry along. My vision may vanish, my dream may go wrong; My wealth I may lose, or my money may spend, But I'll worry along if you give me a friend. Give me a friend, and my youth may depart, But still I'll be young in the house of my heart. Yes, I'll go laughing right on to the end, Whatever the years, if you give me a friend. If times are hard and you are blue Think of others worrying too. Just because your trails are many, Don't think others haven't any. Life's made up of smiles and tears, Joys and sorrows mixed with fears; And though to us it seems onesided Trouble is pretty well divided. If we could look in every heart, We'd find that each one has its part And those who travel fortune's road Sometimes carry the biggest load. chartering a bus to this occasion. This group of members came home with several winners.
Last week, DYC Wilma Nesuda i reported the results and the winners of her respective district, therefore, we will not have a repetition of her fine , coverage. She seemed rather disappointed in the last minute entrants' cancellations; however, the bus load of members from Lodge No. 35, Elk, erased the disappointment when this encouraging group appeared on the scene to make the day easier. All in all, there were 179 entrants from nine lodges represented. All deserve our appreciation — ha y -ingdrecthsprogamf ny years, ending them even with huge tableau, etc., the writer knows the amount of work that is entailed in such an undertaking, much of which is unseen and yet vital for the success of the undertaking. Congratulations to the winners, committees, and all who participated and in anyway, aided in this annual undertaking which by the reaction of the crowd that attended, proved that these affairs are looked forward to and enjoyed to the utmost. Another job well done! Present from our SL were President Nick and Sister Dorothy Morris and family, District III Director Sid and Justine Pokladnik and SYD Dorothy Massey. Sister Maxine Sefcik, yours truly and family certainly enjoyed the day.
