EKDY oLOVEK stoji jakoby na zvane "oil lease". Z tech 218 akru, le- druheho stolu fitednici SPJST se svYrni

rozcesti. Pta, se sam sebe: roam di nemam? Vpravo nebo vlevo?

Smim to IIci nebo radeji o v'S'em pomleeti?

Byl jsem v rozpacich celY tYden. . ekal jsem na informace — na zelene svetlo z Hlavni fitadovny, abych to smol oznamiti. Koneene jsem se rozhodl, Ze celou to radostnou novinu podam o sve vlastni ftjme, na svou zodpovemost. At' to eleny poteSi. VSechny bratrske a sesterske podpitrne spolky podavaji koncem fmora nebo v bieznu svou ceiorodni zpravu za uplynulY rok. Ve zpravach jsou vypoety 0 ptirnstku elena, o zvYkni reservnich fondfl, o solvenci, o podpramerne fnrtnosti, tedy same dis.lice a vYpoety. Pro mnoheho eloveka jsou takove zpravy mato zajimave.

Moje dnani zprava bude zajimati ykchny eleny. Nak SPJST ma polovidni podil v nove vyyrtane olejove studni. Takove zprave porozumi ka'ZdY. Pied 30 lety nase SPJST byla nucena picvziti od jisteho dInZnika pozemek za, itilelem zrukni stavajicino dluhu. Pozemkil bylo asi 220 akril. Jednota drZela pozemek MA di dtyti roky, aZ koneene se nakl kupec, kterY se o pozemek zajimal. Nabidnul dosti nizkou. cenu a nechtel pfiplatit. Rokovali jsme o prodeji ye schfrzi Hlavni fitadovny. Byl jsem tenkrat s bratrem Robertem Oervenkou a zesnulym bratrem Jos. Syptakem na fidetnim vYboru. Bylo rozhodnuto, abychom y ohledu n'a, nizkou cenu, ktera, byla nabizena, vyhraclili pro SPJST polovinu spodiny, pray ° na polovinu vSech mineralit, ktere se nalezaji pod povrchem. Prodej za tochto podminek byl uzavien v roku 1928.

Jestli se nemYlim, byla to prvni trailsa,kce, PM ktere Jednota si vyhradila mineralni pra y°. Od tech dob se to praktikuje pokabole, kdy je to mcdno. Dnes vlastni SPJST spodinu na mnoha mistech v Texasu. NejvetSi vlastnictvi se naleza v plynovem poli v okresu Frio, kde vyhrazeno jest pies 400 akru spodiny jako inajctek SPJST.

Zicich v okresu Wharton, d ye a pill mile zapadne od East Bernard, dostala SPJST $7.50 nAjemneho z akru. Najem byl pravidelne obnovovan.

Az letos doMo na poku:sne vrtani, a to s velmi zdatilYm. vYsledkem. Studne je tak zvand "gas-distillate". Vrha pies etvapalcovy kontrolujici prtichod (a. quarter inch choke)' Styli miliony krychlovych strevic plynu denne a k tomu na, kaklY niilion 'krydhloVYch sttevic plynu da ya 25 atria pkirodniho gasolinu.

KdyZ v patek odpoledne 27. fmora studne zadala vrhati napied blato, pak plyn, a poett,1 teci pfirOdni gasolin, delnici znovu ptipomenuli hostinu.

0 studni a hostine do liedel jsem Fe nepiimo. Jako novinar, sbirajici kaZdou zpravu, ktera by postavila SPJST do lepMho svetla vetejnosti, jel jsem na hostinu, ti eba jsem nebyl pozvanY. Hostina byla davana v sini tadu Karel Jonah eislo 28 v East Bernard v pondeli, 2. btezna o 6. hodine yeeer.

V minulem aisle Vestniku -mel bratr Otto HanuS, Glen radu Slovanska Lipa eislo 66 z Waco, velmi praktickY ifavrh.

Bratr Bantle' mysli, Ze bylo by elm-Kim SP JST vitane, kdy..Z by na gi hlavni Urednici meli v organu obSas svou vlastni rubriku. Podobnou mySlenku mel jsem, kdyZ zaeal jsem rditi anglickou Cast Vestniku pied peti lety. Tenkrate ovkm byly namitky, Sc prevaZna vetSina Menu dosud Ste Seskou Cast a Ze sloupec od nektereho z naSich hlavnich firednikti by spfk mel bYti V easti Ceske. At' by podclbna zprava, nebo fivaha vrchniho firednika byla v Ceske nebo anglicke stati, nebo dokonce obou, mohli bychom se o to pokusiti. Vyvstanou otazky, ktere bylo by radno miti vysvetleny od .Cdednikft. Dotaz je treba podan v distriktni schnzi nebo pri nejake slavnosti a bYva hned na miste vysvetlen. Ale takove vysvetleni bylo by vdeene prijato od innoha. jinYch Clenft.

Redaktor te2 dostane rfizne dotazy, a pozdeji rozebira, takove otazky ve s yYch redakenich fwahach. 61enove si podobne rozebirani spolkovYch ota7ek pochvaluji.

Uvaiujte o torn a pohovorte si o tornto bodu ye vasich distriktnich schfizich.

Chci dad zaslouZene uznani resolu6nimu vYboru radu Jaro Sislo 130 z Dallasu za upraveni velmi pripadne resoluce soustrasti pro sveho zesnuleho Siena. Jiz delg

Ve stredu, dne 11. btezna 1953. dobu jsem nelibe pozoroval, ze vagina, zasilanYch soustrasti jsou v gechny psany dle jednoho receptu. Neda yno dostal jsem od jistaho tadu tti soustrasti najednou.

Nebylo v nich ani vla's rozdilu, pouze jmenw zesnulYch elena byla posmenena.

Bylo to tak povrchni, tak nucene formalni, to to zaratelo. Piece o katdem zesnulem elenu se da napsati new osobniho, neco ptilehaveho, nekolik slov o jeho vote, o jeho spolkove einnost, nebo o jeho rodinnem tivote. S katdYm elenem se mateme rozlouditi jinymi slovy, katdY sesnulY Glen si zaslouti, aby jej bylo vzpomenuto neeim ptilehavYm, ne pouze opsanymi frazemi, ktere se veene opakuji.

A jestli vas vYbor to nedovede, po glete to redaktoru, aby to pro vá g vYbor sestavil trochu jinak, net to bylo posledne. Proto upozorriuji na onu resoluci soustrasti, vypracovanou vYborem tadu Jaro. Pov gimnote si, jak hezky a s porozumenim je sestavena. — Ptedchazejici odstavec byl jit vysazen, kdyt pti gla jina vzorna resoluce soustrasti od tadu San Antonio eislo 133.

Zkuste psati sve resoluce dle techto vzora., Nekteei dopisovatele a eadovi tajemniel maji ye zvyku psati, ze schtize se bude "odbYvati", nebo ze schaze se "odbYvala".

Kdykoliv pigeme o schazi, je lepe voliti slovo "konati" nebo, "potadati". VYraz "odbYvati" ve spojeni se schazi ma. virznam neptiznivY, ponitujici. ekneme, na pkiklad, ze jsme nem odbyli, cot znarnena, ze jsme to bud' povrchne vykonali nebo odmitli. l ekne-li nekdo, ze ureita vac je odbyta, mini tim, to o veci bylo jit rozhodnuto a neni' tteba o zaletitosti mluviti. Proto je lepe psati, to schase se bude konati nebo to distriktni schaze se pokadala.

• Nagi krajane, kteei pied nekolika lety posilali svYm ptibuznYm v Oeskoslovensku potraviny a latky na obleky a gaty, bezpochyby jit detli v jinYch eeskoamerichYch easopisech, to Ceskoslovensko snitilo od 1. ledna tohoto roku clo na darkoye balicky z Ameriky. Pokud mi znamo, nebylo toto sniteni cla oznameno atedne, a proto povatuji podobne zpravy za hodnejiste. Ovgem byly by nova celni sazby, jsou-li soukrome zpravy spolehlive a platne v katclem ptipade, velmi mime, ba pfekvapujici, nebot' zdaji se bYti jen malym zlomkem cla dtivej grho. Nejjistejgi ovgcm bude zaslati na zkou gku docela malou zasilku poji gtenou proti ztrate, ktera by byla vracena, kdyt by clo bylo stale vysoke a tamnej -gi krajane by clo nemohii vyplatit. Dle techto nezarudenYch spray , clo na kavu je snad nyni pouze 30 korun, kdetto chive bylo clo 1,700 korun z Vahy jednoho kila; z vinene latky na obleky je snad clo jen 240 korun na kilo vahy, kdetto drive se rnuselo platit 5,200 korun cla z jednoho kila.

eskoslovensku je takovY nedostatek sboti, ze ut ani v Darexu, totit na torn e'ernem vladnim trhu, neni zboti.

Jak mohli elenove SPJST, kteii etou Vestnik, jit (Wino pozorovati, nepi gi nikdy ye syYch redakenich avahach nebo v elancich o nynej gich pomerech v Oeskoslovensku. Bylo mne to dokonce vyaitano. Nag organ ma. jinY aoel net starati se .o mezinarodni zaletitosti, i kdyby tyto veciredaktora organu vskutku zajimaly.

V aterY dne 17. anora dostal jsem neobvyklou navgtevu. Napted pti glo ohlageni telefonem, ze si pfeje se mnou mluviti jistY pan z Washingtonu, a zdali budu veder volnY. Kdyt jsem ptisvedeil, schazka byla stanovena na 8:30 veder. Pan ptijel a ptedstavil se jmenem Harry B. Lyford, atednik ze statniho departmentu ye Washingtonu. Proukazal se legitimaci a yyptaval se na me redaktorske povinnosti, jak veliky kruh etenatil ma Vestnik a koneene vylovil ze sve bra gny dye eisla Vestniku. Jedno z nich neslo provolani ptedsedy Marta, ae Amerika pottebuje fraternalismus. Pry Vestnik je nejroz gitenej ghn aeskYm tYdenikem v Texasu, a jestli tomu tak. la tikYvnul jsem. Bylo jit hodne pies jedenact v noci, kdyt odchazel.

Pi i nagi piedbeine telefonieke rozmluye domnival jsem se, se snad heti o nejake vygettovani, zdali me redakeni elanky a avahy jsou psany v duchu americkem.

Nekteti fide, stojici mimo Jednotu, nemaji mne zrovna v lasce, a motna i nekterY elen je proti mne. Mr. Harry B. Lyford neptijel v gak aby mne vygettoval, spi ge aby poznal smygleni nagich dteriatu a jejich styky se starou viasti. Ptal se, zdali Vestnik je posilan do e esk oslovensk a nebo zdali nagi elenove si dopisuji se znamyrni a pribuznymi. Sclelil jsem mu, co jsem vedel nebo co jsem se osobne ptesvecleil, totit to posledni dobou ty dopisy od myth ptatel dochazeji nejak kideeji, leti nekde pted odeslanim den, dva, nebo i cely tYden a jsou aim dale tim vice struenej gi. Pravil jsem mu, to z dopisii, Mere jsem dostal, nedozvedel jsem se, co si vlastne ti na gi ptatele v eskoslovensku mysli a jak vlastne tiji. Pi gi, ze se maji celkem dobte, ale jak dobte, to vi jedine oni. Pi gi leccos, ale je to celkem nic: jako 'manatelka ptcstala bYti ueitelkou a pracuje v pradelne, mantel ptestal bYti profesorem a ma. jine zamestnani, take jen mezi faclky etu, to by radi tekli vice, ale ze to nejde.

Ve teihodinove rozmluve s pattern od statniho odboru z Washingtonu zavadili jsme o mnohe zajimavosti. Na ptiklad, jak si ptedstavuji kontrolu dopisa z skoslovenska do Ameriky. Odpovedel ' jsem, ze jakmile je dopis taninejgimi' censory propu gten, doleti sem do tki dna.

Strana 3 Jaka mute bYti kontrola clOpisa pied odeslanim, zdali to vim nebo tu gim? Nevim, ale ptedstavuji si to asi nasledovne: Chce-li nekdo poslati dopis do ciziny, asi ze se muse osobne dostaviti na pogtovni atad, a neiapomenout s sebou vziti legitimaci. ttkednik na po gte vezme nezalepenY dopis, podiva se na odesilatele, podiva se na legitimaci, uloti dopis na zvla.g tni hromadku, aby byl odeslan at po pfeeteni, aby se atedne zalepil a nejakou znaekou na °bake se ovetilo, ze byl prozkouman. Motna, to se odesilateli ptipomene, ze "ph odesilani dopisft do ciziny je nutno z davoda bezpeenostnich psati jen veci nekompromitujici." Podal jsem pouze dohady.

Ptal se mne dale onen pan, zdali dostavam nejake tiskopisy nebo i akou si tvotim ptedstavu z toho, co vyatu z tam-. nej g ich novin„, Vysvetlil jsem, ze tadnd publikace odtamtud nedosta,vam, ac bych si je pta,1 eisti k vuli informaci, a tudit nejsem kompetentni vysloviti jakYkoliv asudek. Na jeho dotaz, do jake miry 'delime ye svem Vestniku komunisticke propaganda, vysvetlil jsem, e na g easopis, jako vestnik (zpravodaj) spolkovY, nezabiha do debat politickYcl ani do spray mezinarodnich, nYbrt ze omezuje svou eetbu na veci spolkove a eiste vychovne.

Net jsme se roze gli, pan Lyford naznaeil, ze Amerika pottebuje pomocnou ruku od tech, kdo znaji narodnosti v Evrope, maji lepg i znalost ekonomickYch pomera za motem a mohli by poskytnouti paprsek nadeje tern, kdo touti po lep gim zittku. S tim jsme se rozegli.

Po takove nezvykle navgteve mel jsem vgelijake vlastni rozjimani. Jako redaktor deskeho bratrskeho organu jclu svou cestou, ktera, je vyznaeena spi ge mYrn vlastnim ptesvedeenim, usmertiovana thou vlastni tivotni filosofii net nejakYmi paragrafy, a piece dostanu vyznamenani, mohu-ii to " yyznamenanim" nazvati, to mne nav gtivi aZ nekdo od statniho departmentu z Washingtonu. To se stane zde ye SpdjenYch Statech. A cot kdybych byl v Ceskoslovensku, ' kde by si mne ptedvolala STB (tajna policie), abych pti gel a yyzpovida,1 se tern "estebakam", proe si dopisuji s nekYrn z Ameriky, kolika lidem jsem nechal ptedist posledne doily dopis a pros mne rodina z Ameriky psala ty a ty veci. Pak bych asi ptigel sam k nazoru, abych to dopisovani s rodinou v Americe omezil na miru • nejmurk To zase jsou jen dohady. Tak si nahodou vzpominam na ozdobnou misku, kterou moje matka mivala "na polici", kdyt jsem jegte pasal kravku na vala g -skYchotare.Nmiscebylv trefnY napis: "Co ma g v hrnci, to si hlidej, sladkou kagi nehas, co to nepali, donia jidej, at' se jini napali."

• To se jaksi v eloveku nee° pohne, at' uZ to nazveme jak chceme.

KdyZ ale elovek vidi, ze jeho namalta nebyla mama, Ze pfeci jak takZ uhodil na strunu narodniho uvectomeni, vefte pfatele, ae main ohromnott radost, Ze to nage snaleni neni nadarmo.

Ono se Odycky nejedna, jen o ten naneni itspech, adkoliv kaldy vime, ani kufe nadarmo nehrabe, ale jedna se zde take o na ge moralni uvedomeni, abych tak troche fekl, o to na ge eegstvi, nebo chcete-li, o udrZeni feel morayske, aelcoliv mezi nami nema bYt Zadneho roz7 dilu, neb na ge spisovna fee je stejna, bohuzel,ze ty rozdily mezi sebou delame si sami.

Rozumejte tomu, nemam na, mysli snad nekoho uraZet, ani mne nenapadne, ale za meho 141eteho pobytu v Texasu jsem slygel od mnoha lidi, ze oni nejsou 6eSi, ale Moravci. Pfatele, nedelejme rozdily mezi sebou, valyt' jsme synove dcery jedne matky, mluvime a pigeme jednou keel, a jestli ma jinY odstin nafedi, piece si rozuminte, tuZby a pkani

St tuna (I. jsou stejne asi vkch, a tedy podejmc si ruku, pracujnie vSichni vespolek a zajiste ne budeme mit z Uspechu v'Sichni radost.

Vidite kam jsem to zabehl.

Chci podat zpravu z nakho divadla a zatim jsem zabehl kam jsem ani nechtel, ale 'dim srdce preteka, musi nejak ven, a v tomto pripade to odnese papir. PrateIC, jak vas vetSinou znam, vklyt' vy jste lids dobri, mana abych tak rekl, vice nen dobri, to jste dokazali svou navSIevou nakho divadla prave dnes, a nebojte se tech Sokola, vZdyt' jsme lids jako vy, vklyt' jsme take z vas, a propalil boty a chodil bos, vklyt' Sokol je organisace narodni, ku ktere maze patrit kaklY charakterni elovek bez rozdilu vyznani.

Tedy, kteri byste pracovat s jste srdeene vitani.

Zase ua jsem uhnul z mista, no jaka Pomoc, snad to neOkocli. Tak ted' k tomu divadlu.

Zajiste, kteri jste byli pritomni, a bylo vas hodne, (ale piece jsem postradal jegte innohYch z vas), nelitujete a ze jiste uznate, ze jsem ye svem elanku, kterY jsem predeslal, nepreladnel a ze aZ podruhe budeme hrat, a doufarn ze to bude brzy, podle monnosti nas zase svou navStevou poctite.

Sestry a bratti: My, elenove fadu Karel Jona g eislo 28, saeastnerii ye sve mesieni schazi dne 8. anora 1953, po vyslechnuti stiZnosti od nek.olika elenti, ze kdy se meni datum odbYvani schtizi, proo to neni uve •ejneno ve Vestniku, odpovedela sestra tajemnice, ze ona zmena schtize lednove byla zaslana k uvetejneni do Vestniku, ale — .cno posledni Oslo v roce nebylo vydano. Z toho dfrvodu bylo usnegeno a jednohlasne odhlasovano, zaslati k iwefejneni do Vestniku nasledujici resoluci: "V padu, kdyby v budoucnosti se zase vyskytnul firodnY pak, kterY by mel zase 53 tYdnit a TislzovY vYbcr se rozhodnul odpustit vydavatelfun Vestniku yydani tfia.padesateho eisla, aby to bylo zaveas oznameno elenstvu, aby se vedelo, jak a kdy rfizne spolkove zalditosti ozna= mit".

Bra.tti a sestry, jak vidite v nahoie uvedene resoluci, je TiskovY vYb•r podez •ivan, ze odpustil yydavatelam ku ttiapadesate elslo roku 1952. Zprava byla podana y zapiscich schtize Tiskoveho vYboru dne 28. ledna 1953. Jelikoa to, jak vidim nestaei, tedy podavam podrobne.

Ka'alY tYden eislo j e vyclano ye st •edu. Nasledkem kalendate je tento rok tech stied di a padesat, ale tYclna je jen dva a padesat.

Sdelil nine, ze O - slo nevyjde, leda ze by TiskovY vybor natidil, aby eisla bylo vyclan°. Tedy vidite, ze nebylo mono to oznarnit ye Vestniku, protole nezli jsem listek clostal, Vestnik byl jiz na ceste ktr etenaftim. V resoluci je napsano, kdyby zase se vyskytnul arodnY rok, kterY by mel 53 tYdnfi. TaZi se, jestli nekdo ze by nekterY rok rnel tti a padesat tYdnft? Rok ma 365 dni a picestup= nj, rok ma 366 dni.

Kdy4, budete delit 'Oslo 365 Cislem sedm, vynajdete, ze vYsledek bade 52 tydnii a jeden den. Jestli je to ptestupnY rok, bude to 52 tYdnii a dva dny.

reports from Lodges, blograpmes, etc., intended for publication, must be in the hands of the Editor a week before the date of issue.Address all editorial 'matters to: Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston 'I, Tex.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC

BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

POSTMASTER.: Send form 3579 with undeliverable copies to S. P. J. S. T., Fayetteville, Texas.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR IT HAS BEEN my editcrial policy not to discuss the same matter in the two sections at the same time. Our members prefer to have fresh thoughts and not translations. But it happens occasionally that a report should be given to our members, and it should be done simultaneously. It may be an important anouncement, or it may be an important report. The purchase of the Professional Building in Temple, to be the new home for the headquarters, was an example of giving the news to the members in both sections without delay.

I AM COMPELLED to repeat myself again by telling both the Czech and the English readers the same news. Since a good news can stand repetition, I hope to be pardoned by those who read both sections f the Vestnik. Anyway, it is a good news. In. nutshell, the SPJST has a half-interest in a new oil and gas producing well near East Bernard.

Tide Water Associated Oil 'Company has opened a new gas-distillate area and a half miles cf East Bernard.

THE SPJST OWNS one-half of the minerals in the 219-acre tract of land where the new well is located. The Order came into the possession of the land some 28-30 years ago by foreclosure. It was one of our first "bad loans". The SPJST had to take the land. We kept it for three or four years and were trying to sell it. A local buyer got interested in the land, but he did not offer enough.

We discussed it in the meeting of the Supreme Lodge—I. was a member of the Auditing Board then—and a suggestion was made to retain one half, of tile minerals. Since then it has been customary to retain one half of the minerals or royalty. At present, if I am correct, we have mineral interests in 10 or 15 parcels of land, and we retained a fraction of royalty, from 1-16 to 1-64, in almost every sale' of the SPJST land. I asked Brother Chepick, our supreme secretary, to give me a list of all the mineral and royalty holdings that we have on the books. I hope the article will be ready either for this or the next issue of the Vestnik.

THE SUPREME LODGE officers, together with the Boetcher family et East Bernard, the owners of the other one-halt mineral interest, gave a barbecue to the drilling crew that had brought in the well. The barbecue was given at the Karel Jonas Lodge hall at East Bernard. It is customary to reward the crew in that manned. The drilling men usually keep cn teasing the owner about "a big barbecue, when the well comes in", until the owner under the temptingly attractive talk gives in and promises to celebrate. So the officers of the SPJST, the stenographers, the Bbettcher family and the drilling crew had a barbecue supper on Monday night, March 2. Oh, yes, I wasn't invited, but I slipped in, too. How could I be able to make this report otherwise? A reporter 'cr an editor has to get the news one way or another. * * THE NEW WELL has been repOrted to flow around 4,000,000 cubic feet of gas daily through a quarter-inch choke from perforations at 7554-80 feet. In addition, it gives 25 barrels of 51 gravity per 1,000,000 cubic feet of gas. Thus the well is classified as a "gas-distillate." As I understand it, it is not a well producing crude oil but from which four millions of gas and some liquid gas is pouring every 24 hours. If the gas was not marketable or where the expense of running the gas through pipes would be to expensive, the story would not be so rosy. Luckily, the East Bernard area is very close to the main gas line running in the northeasterly direction, and the gas is easily directed into commercial channels. What the net gain from this well is going to be, that remains to be the question of the next weeks.

The oil wells have unpredictable ways of surprising or disappointing.

THE EXCITEMENT among our members at East Bernard was running on that night very high, There was a good deal of laughing, back-slapping, joking.

The barbecue, prepared by Brother Anton Kopecky and Brother Augttst Klecka; was superb. Brother Albert Spacek and Brother Henry Kubena served the beer. Sisters Lydia Kubena and Carrie

Bohacik waited on the guests sitting around four long tables. It was a happy crowd. * * ONE THING PUZZLED ME at that barbecue supper and ever since. Everybody. was talking about "the first SPJST. oil well." It is the first one or ' sn't it?

That question has been in my lend ever since last Monday night a week ago.

Some two years ago, I read in the Humble Way, a magazine published by the Humble Oil and Refining Company, an article in which it was described how the drilling crews move oilfield derricks from one location to another without taking the derrick apart. the, article was accompanied by 'an artist's sketch showing the way it is being dofte. The sketch showed the route of moving the derrick from one place to the "SPJST No. 3" cation. I never asked anyone about the "SPJST No. 3" location which attracted my attention in the artist's sketch. But the "No. 3" location must have some reason to be placed in the sketch. And how about "No. 2" and "No. 1"? When everybody at East Bernard talked about the "first SPJST oil well," the recollection of the artist's sketch came back to me. Of course, the Atascosa Cot my No. 1, No. 2, and No.. 3 — all could. have been dry holes, and the East Bernard well is really the first producing well.

But even if there were no results in the three drillings, it would have been interesting if reported by the officers or the directors. Our members like to know what goes on. That's the reason I attended the barbecue at East Bernard.

IF YOU LOOK at the report e:f directors from January 1, 1952 to January 1, 1053, as published in the issue of the Vestnik, dated January 21, 1953, you will find two attractive items. One- says, Royalties from real estate $1,887.37. The other is Reserved royalties from real estate sold, $1,989.33. Those two items make pretty close to three thousand dollars in 1952. In the last issue cf the Vestnik you find another attractive item, Royalties $455.51. This last item is for one month only. That's very pleasing.

We may not be waddling in oil., but we get nice revenue from it. It makes one feel satisfied.

TO OUR YOUTH GROUPS:

f0 OUR OTHER MEMBERS:

The April Program is on its way to you, and as soon as you receive it, get Lowther and get your plans laid out so t hat you may be able to advertise it in the Vestnik for all the children to see. if your groups are now, organized, may I suggest that you elect your President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Telephone Chairman and Committee (on special called parties, meetings, games, etc. all you have to do is to call your `1 elephone Chairman who in return calls his Telephoning Committee and they each have a list whom they call again, and in that way it is more simplified in calling everyone). Entertainment Committee (ones who make plans with the Director as to what the children wish to do ,help get things ready, etc.), Pianist, Song Leader (anyone who can lead songs fairly well), Game Leader (one who has the games in charge and helps the Director along with same), Reporter (one who reports to different local papers and the Vestnik what their group is doing), Care Taker (one who takes care of all their belongings), Transportation Conimittee (ones who see about getting transportation here and there for different activities and occasions), Welfare Committee (ones to find ways and means of raising money and conveying same to Director) ., and then you must have a Master of Ceremonies occasionally. Electing all of these in your group, gives a lot of children more interest as it gives them something to do and they feel they are wanted and have a feeling of belonging instead of shying away from things thinking that you don't care for them.

All working together like this makes it easier on everyone and you can get things done in a hurry. Meetings? That is entirely up to you, the Director and your group. Some like to have meetings two months or so. Personally, I think once a month is best, and only short ones at that with refreshments following and some 1, 31111 of intertainment, so it wouldn't seem dull to anyone.

Each time that I send out a monthly program to each lodge, I usually write a letter concerning something or other to our Youth Directors, and at this time I would like to submit a copy of my letter that went out with the April Program, so that all of you may know a little of what I am doing. ;`Dear Youth Director: Enclosed please find your Youth Program outlined for you for the month of April. There isn't very much to be done in this month with the exception of an April Fool Party which is always a lot of fun, and an Easter Party and Dance, but our months of May and June will be quite longer with Mother's Day and Father's Day in them, in which you may be able to sponsor a play.

Of course you may sponsor a Youth Dance in either April, Ma y, or June and chances on something and raffle it off just to raise extra money for your Youth Fund on which to operate with, and it can be done in a big way if you get all the children behind it to push it and sell chances -- and, what is nice about it, they can have a lot of fun doing it and enjoying themselves at the dance- also.

Then there are the ballgames that can be played and enjoyed, and soon you will be able to go out an picnics and other parties. I3allgames played at your lodges with yefreshments served afterwards usually creates a lot of interest, even tho they may have to bring their own cakes and sandwiches. Parents would enjoy watching their children.

Calling up your Youth Members, visiting them, or sending them personal invitations usually does a lot of good, as it gives them a feeling that you are interested in them and care a little about having something for them too and not just the other members.

If your lodges are small, and the children are few, have a combination party with all fathers and mothers assisting you in entertaining the children with their party. You will all enjoy it.

And if you don't have time during the week with school and all, try it on Sun-

Wednesday, March 11, 1953 days and your meeting days. Why not have a party or something right after your monthly meeting? Maybe even more members would , come to attend the meetings if there was something there afterwards for them and their children. Let's give it a try — can't do any harm — why not? We could all have fun! And there are so few smiles in this world today. So in April, why not have an APRIL FOOL party of some kind for everyone after the meeting. For May, a Mother's Day Party, and for June a Father's Day Party — maybe you can even have prizes for the oldest and youngest Mother and Father at each party.

Lots of FUN and lots of LUCK to all of you, Fraternally your, Birdie Hilsher Youth Counselor" Everyone working together should certainly bring back some of the activities in our lodges and bring out the children, too. We have done so little for them — it's no wonder they have drifted elsewhere, and if we want them back — we will have to have something of interest for them. It is up to all of us now!

"THE WEAKER HALF"?

March 2, 1953 To All Members and especially officers of Local Lodges, SPJST Dear Brothers and Sisters: We are sure that it is the wish of all the members of our Order, and the endeavor of all officers of local lodges as well as the Supreme Lodge, that upon the decease of any member of this Order the death benefits due be paid promptly.

However, before death benefits due to the beneficiaries of our deceased members may be paid, the Supreme Lodge must be furnished the two following instruments or certificates; First: The Supreme Lodge must be furnished an official death notice of the member from the local lodge. The death notice must be executed by the president and secretary of the local lodge, in which the deceased member held membership in the Order.

Second: The Supreme Lodge must be furn'shed, as evidence of the death of each deceased member, a so called "Proof of Death," which has to be signed and executed before Notary Public, by the Physician who attended the deceased member immediately prior to or after his death. Such "Proof of Death" may be substituted by a certificate or statement fiom the State Board of Health or Bureau of Vital Statistics or such other Governmental Agency, that issues certificates of death, in the state, where the member died.

If you members of our Order, and especially you officers of the local lodges, will see to it that the Supreme Lodge re. ceives these two instruments immediately tpon the decease of a member, you may rest assured the death benefits due shall be paid promptly.

The prompt payment of death claims is very much to be desired. It speaks well of our Order. The Supreme Lodge endeavors at all times that every death claim be paid promptly; and, in order to make this possible, respectfully requests and thanks you for your assistance and co-operation, in the effort that the Supreme Lodge receive, immediately, after the death of a member, the hereinabcve mentioned instruments.

Fraternally yours, J. F. Chupick, Secretary Supreme Lodge

Mankind is about a million years old.

So is womankind. For the greater part of that million years, men have been dictatorial, unkind and unfair to women. During their long period of subjection, women have been treated as chattels, slaves or conveniences. Only within the last hundred years have some men begun to consider the welfare of women. Only during the present century have women begun to emerge from their subjection to men.

Women play a much more important rote in the world than their menfolk have been ready to admit. After all, if you're afflicted with inferiority feelings —as the male is with respect to the female,—you've got to play the lord and master. You can't admit that women are your equals and — perish the thought — certainly not your superiors.

And yet this is what modern research and experience strongly suggest.

Far too many women — not to mention men — suffer from the belief in the myth that the female is biologically inferior to the male. Modern science has dealt this myth a serious body blow.

Here are the facts: 1. Science has demonstrated that start off life as a male is to start off with a disadvantage — a disadvantage which operates at every stage of life.

Drs. Louis I. Dublin and Mortimer Spiegelman of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company have recently shown that, all through life, mortality rates are higher for males than for females.

With every age range, more males ,die than females. For example, in 1946-48, three boy babies in the first year of life died for every two, girl babies. At about age 21, for every 'girl who dies, almost two boys die. Thereafter, at age 35, 1400 men die for every 1000 women; at age 55, 1800 men for every 1000 women; after that, the difference in death rate diminishes.

The life expectancy for women is higher than for men all over the world (save parts of India).

2. The brains of women are as large or larger than those of men — in relation to body weight of the female (1260 grams) in relation to the male's brain weight (1400 grams) is as 90 to 100, whereas her body weight in relation to the male's is only as 83 to 100.

3. Girls mature intellectually more rapidly than boys. Girls do better in school than boys. Dr. George Stoddard in The Meaning of Intelligence has presented evidence from many intelligence tests to show that there is not a scrap

of evidence that women are inferior to men in native intelligence.

4. Women are healthier than men — if by health you mean the capacity to deal with germs and illness. Statistics from the public health services of various countries, and especially the United States, show that women recover from illnesses much more frequently than men do.

5. Constitutionally stronger and more resistant to disease, women are also much better "shock absorbers" — that is, they better handle the emotional and psychological strains of modern life. It is a striking fact that admission rates to mental hospital are higher Ifor men than for women. It is also 1* . inarkable that under conditions of siege and heavy bombardment, women break down much less frequently than men do. In an important study made during World War II, The Psychological Effects of War on Citizens and Soldiers, Dr. R. G. Gillespie reported that in the heavily bombed areas of London and Kent, almost 70 per cent more men broke down emotionally than women!

Shortly after some of - the heaviest bombings the British Library of Information in New York published a bulletin entitled Woman Less Prone to Bomb Shock. This 'reported, the results of a survey which showed that women respond to bombardment with much less emotional shock, hysteria and psychoneuroses than men do. As Frank D. Long, who reported this survey, says: "It may be true that women are more emotional than men in romance, but they are less so in air raids. Their protective instinct for those they love is actually a shield against the nerveshattering effects of warfare noises.

6. Women also recover emotional breakdowns quicker than men do. As Long says, "Part of the treatment is the retelling of their experimences, and it has been found that women can recall details with greater ease than men and are more willing to talk about them.

Repetition in this way invariably ends to rob the experience of its initial horror, which is an important aid to complete recovery of normal self-control."

7. Suicide rates are appreciably higher for men than for women. Dublin and Bunzel in their classic study, To be or Not to Be, found that the suicide rate in the United States reached the extraordinary figure of 10 males to 3 females.

These authorities remark, "Suicide may be called a masculine type of reaction."

Actually, it becomes more masculine with age.

IV. The children's program.

This part is my delight! I love people and children are my specialty. I've been working with them at Stefanik Lodge for four and a half years. At district programs I love to watch their enthusiasm in their songs their dances, drills, recitations, instrument playing or anything they do. The sweet expressions on their faces their eagerness to please, and their willingness to be friendly!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all would be as cooperative as children, once they're given a chance?

V. The parting: After enjoying every minute of the day and each detail of the program, you grab courage by the hand and go congratulate the speakers compliment the entertainers, mingle with the rest of the crowd to talk, laugh, sing or dance. Time passes swiftly you don't want to leave, but tomorrow's another day. Children have to go to school and Dad must go to work so you gather your family and reluctantly head for home, taking many pleasant memories with you.

Last, but not least, to all the twenty lodges belonging to District 5: Please do us the honor of being present at the District meeting on Sunday, March 29th at Stefanik. Lodge No. 142. Houston. The exact time of the meeting will be given you by the District Program Directors in the Vestnik. To the best of my knowledge the business meeting will take place before noon. The Stefanik Sisters will prepare a delicious dinner for you. There

Wednesday, March 11, 1953 will be plenty to eat and drink. The prograin starts after dinner.

The district report at our monthly meeting was that so far only Lodge Pokrok No. 88, Needville Lodge and Stefanik Lodge have responded to the appeal for Lodges )11 this district to bring children entertainers for the program.

There are seventeen Lodges left. Now I know you must have some children in each lodge ranging in ages between three and nineteen! Regardless of what that child or group of children can do, bring them with you and give them a chance to take part in the program. You'll be amazed at their ability and winning ways! You can rest assured they will be welcomed with open arms and apreciation!

Many times I've heard these comments: "Oh my Mary is bashful, or Johnnie doesn't speak loud enough or Tommy just doesn't want to!"

My dearest pals, there is no exctise if you really want 'to do anything worthwhile! For —if Mary is bashful, there are two of her friends who aren't, put them all together and I'll bet two to one she'll try to do as they do regardless of what they're trying to accomplish, whether it's dancing, singing or drilling.

If Johnnie speaks softly and can't be heard by an audience; put him on one side of a large room and tell him to imitate a rooster crowing loudly or the wind blOwing fiercely and to listen for an echo. Make a game out of it and before • you know it Johnnie will be- heard a great deal farther than the other side of the room.

Now Tommy just doesn't want to. Explain to him the advantage he will have in later school days if he learns to like to take part in any activity. That he will be able to recite his lessons in front of a class thus making good grades, by not being afraid. Tell him in story form the important role he'll take; the realistic costume he can wear; how much fun he'll have with the other children and how proud everyone will be of him and you especially. That there will be a special party for him and his friends! It works everytime!

This I am telling you from experience.

For at our Lodge we've trained them from three years on up and it's surprising how quickly they respond. They're not perfect. But who cares? They're trying and eager and some day they'll be okay! Anyway we're mighty proud of them!

Hoping that my sincere appeal will penetrate to at least one more lodge and that I haven't bored you too much, I iAish for you and yours the best of every• thing.

STNIK— WEST, TEXAS Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: It is with concern that I read the unjust criticism of some members about the purchase of the Professional building in Temple, Texas. As a member of the building committee I know how hard we worked to get a suitable site for our headquarters in our organization. In the last meeting of the building committee and the Supreme Lodge where 17 members voted for the purchase and two against, the building committee elected three of us members of that committee to finish the job of putting the Professional building in a modern and first class condition, before we turn the building over to the supreme officers.

On this subcommittee is: brother Matush and Siptak and myself.

It is no easy matter to attend to all the details connected with the necessary repairs in order to put this building in first class shape. Only last week Brother Matush made a special trip to Dallas and we spent all day contacting different people to get the lowest and best prices on contracts to modernize the building. When the purchase contract is finished, my only ambition in this work is to turn the Professional building over to the members in such a shape that they will be proud of it for years to come from three angles: financial; constructional; advertising.

I assure you, Brothers and Sisters that the seventeen members plus our president who voted to purchase this building didn't make a mistake in doing so, after thorough inspection of it, like the engineer who inspected the structure and told us we would be foolish not to buy the Professional building for the sum of $150,000.00 when the same building new would cost us $500,000.00 or $600,000.00 and not have as good material in it as the Professional building has. .I have a home that I bought fourteen years ago and wouldn't trade it for a new one, the same size that they build now.

All that I ask ybu Brothers and Sisters, to please wait until the building committee gives you a full report on the whole deal before you make any comment on same. After we finish our work and turn the structure over to the supreme officers, we want you to come to Temple, if you can, and bring your friends and after we show you the wellfilled SPJST Building with a large neon sign on it, with our emblem, the improved elevators, air conditioning, modern offices with brand new fixtures ,for the Supreme Lodge, large directors room, but mainly we will show the net income of our total investment of over

Coufals Win Cotton Contest (Editor's Note: — I am thankful to Sister Marie Marek, Rt. 4, Temple, Texas, for the clipping about Edward Coufal and his father who were the winners in the Temple Chamber of Commerce cotton production contest. Edward Coufal won first last year and his father, Joe Coufal, won the second prize last year. This year, both of them have done it again. The clipping is from the Temple Daily Telegram.)

COUFALS WIN COTTON CONTEST AGAIN

A son, his father and an ex-GI captured top honors Friday in the second annual Temple Chamber of Commerce cotton production contest.

First prize of $150 went' to youthful Edward Coufal, who lives on a farm in the Oscar community four miles east of Temple. He won it two years in a row.

Second prize, $100, went to Edward's father, Joe Coufal, who farms in the Oscar community; and third prize was captured by Noe A. Garcia of near Little, River, a veteran studying under the vocational agriculture program for exGI's.

The awards were announced, Friday

by C. L. Walker Jr., chairman of the Chamber of Commerce agriculture committee, preceding the board of directors meeting Friday noon at the Kyle hotel. The prizes were presented at the same time.

Young Coufal took first with a production of 1.646 pounds of lint cotton from five acres. His father's yield was 1,968 pounds of lint from his selected five acres, and Mr. Garcia had a yield cf 1,642 pounds of lint from his five-acre plot.

The contest, sponsored for the first time last year, is open to members of Future Farmers of America, 4-H clabbers, vocational agriculture student.$ and adult farmers in Bell county. The event is designed to encourage higher yields through improved farming practices.

Entries were judged 50 percent on yield and 50 percent on improved practices and records kept. Improved practices include cropping system. soil and water conservation, planting state certified seed, insect control, tillage and week control and other soil amendments such as fertilizers used in improving the soil.

Contest judges were Dr. E. D. Cock and J. W. Collier from. Blackland Experiment station and Carl L. Young of the U. S. Soil Conservation service.

INFORMATION ON WILLS A properly drawn will can be the means of short-cutting many legal formalities, and save a great deal of time in distributing the estate of a decedent among his rightful heirs. It may also serve to save many dollars in legal fees and court costs.

As an example, whenever a person dies without a will and it is necessary for the probate court to appoint an administrator of his estate, the person so appointed is required to post a bond. This bond is for the purpose of insuring the faithful performance of his duties. When signed by individuals, the amount thereof must be double the estimated value of the personal property of the estate plus a reasonable amount to cover prospective rents and other income from real estate involved.

When issued by a bonding company, the estimated value of the personal property need not be doubled. The administrator's bond must be kept in force until the estate is finally closed and he is discharged from his obligation by the court.

The same rule applies to an executor under a will, unless the testator has specified that no bond shall be required.

This provision may be inserted or left out of the will at the option of the maker.

Needless to say, there are situations in which the bond serves a real purpose.

But when not needed, the statutory requirements may prove a distinct annoyance to the executor and a burden upon the estate in the form of annual premium payments.

Another example: A court-appointed administrator may not sell any property of an estate without an order of the court authorizing him to do so. He must make application to the court for approval of each sale. The court must be advised of and approve the sales price and manner in which the same is to be collected.

Similar provisions apply to the making of mineral leases and other transactions.

These provisions apply equally to the executor of a will, unless the testator has freed him from such requirements. A single short paragraph inserted in a will designating him as an independent executor in appropriate phraseology may serve this purpose. Then he will have a free hand to dispose of property upon short notice whenever a favorable opportunity arises, with a minimum of legal formality.

Since every application or other paper filed with the probate court and every order obtained from . the court involves the expenditure of attorney fees for its preparation and court costs for its han-

dling by the clerk, in proper cases many dollars may be saved for the heirs by adequate provisions of a will.

Influenza is a serious disease which often leaves its victim exposed to attack by pneumonia and other. complications even if it does not cause death itself. The combination of influenza and peumonia and other diseases is now blan for many of • the 20,000,000 deaths during the world-wide influenza epidemic of 1918.

Fortunately, modern medicine has since developed effective means of combatting pneumonia and some of the other complications. But no medicine is known which can cure influenza.

Influenza is an infectious disease, caused by a virus, which4.,is spread from person to person, most commonly through coughing and sneezing. Influenza usually occurs in epidemic form. It at tacks suddenly. Symptoms of influenza include fever, chills, sore throat, sweats, headache, runny nose, bronchitis, and aches and pains in the back and limbs.

It often starts like a common cold, but is different in that chills accompany fever in influenza.

If you have a cold with a fever, call your doctor immediately.

Your doctor can do much to protect you against dangerous complications.

Follow his instructions. Be sure to stay in bed until he says that all danger of pneumonia is past.

The fever usually lasts only two or three days, but the patient is often left as exhausted as if he had gone through a long illness. This is the dangerous period, the time to build up your health as surely and carefully as possible. Plenty of rest and sleep and nourishing food are es7 sential.

There is a vaccine now available which gives limited protection against some forms of, influenza. Strains of influenza virus, however, may vary from one epidemic to another, and, although the search continues there is no single vaccine capable of preventing all types.

The precautions that all of us can take are: first, keep in as good health as po;sible, and, during the usually short duration of an epidemic, stay out of crowds as much as possible, and away from people who don't cover their coughs and Contributed by L. 0. Hosek. sneezes.

YOUR CONSTANT HEADACHE Headaches are very often hard to diagnose. Here are a few factors that sometimes provide clues to the doctor.

If you move your head around and it ,laurts, you're more likely to have a sinus or migraine headache than an "emotional" headache.

If a headache awakens you in the middle of the night and you feel a little better by sitting up, you're more likely to have migraine than an emotional headache.

Sinus headaches are more likely to hit you in the early morning, while headaches associated with your eyes are apt, to start throbbing later in the day.

If you "see things" during a headache, you may have migraine.

If you keep seeing things after the headache has stopped, you should go to a doctor immediately. This can indicate brain ailment.

If you compare the number of brain illnesses to the total number of chronic headache cases, you'd find that the percentage of brain cases is small. ..But only a doctor can properly diagnose a headache. So a standing rule is: See your doctor, and get a complete check-up if you have recurring headaches.

What success are doctors having in th6 fight against headaches? The most recent studies are very hopeful. According to the prominent scientists, the attack symptoms of migraine — in about 85,"per cent of the cases — can be decreaSed with drugs. And the drugs are Constantly being improved. ' The "ergot derivatives" are the drugs which have produced, those results.

And research reports say that there is now more than 80 per cent success in combating symptoms of tension headaches — using "histamine" and other drugs.

Ili both migraine and tension headaches, doctors can actually prevent attacks in some cases with these drugs.

A new drug, "Fiorinal", has just appeared on the market for use by doetOrS: It is actually four / drugs rolled int() *one. Fiorinal is already producing gOod results in sonic tension headache cases.

Because many doctors feel headaches are closely related to the workings of certain glands in your body, new studiesare starting in this field.

The drug, ACTH, is being studied, to learn whether it can help solve the headache problem, especially migraine.

Because tension and stress arc so vital in the headache picture, talking

HOW OLD IS YOUR PHONE? It was born on March 10, 1876, seventyseven years ago.

Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant, Thomas Watson, were working one evening on their harmonic telegraph when Bell said: "Watson, I want to tell you another idea I have, which I think will surprise you." The amazed Watson listened, his nervous system getting a galvanizing jolt when these words of Bell were indelibly ingrained into his mind: "If I could make a current of electricity vary in intensity, precisely as the air varies in density during the production of a sound, I should be able to transmit speech telegraphically."

Watson and Bell went to work. They set up a wire line with a receiver at one end and a transmitter at the other.

Sounds and even single words were transmitted.

Then came the day of March 10, 1876.

The two men were working by gaslight in the attic of a Boston boardinghouse. By now the crude Watson-Bell transmitter was ready for testing. It involved a small cup of diluted acid to make electricity vary as air density varies in sound — which had been Bell's principle. Watson went to the other room to listen. An accident occured. As Bell was filling this cup, he spilled some of the acid over his clothes. Unaware that he was leaning over the experimental transmitter, Bell bellowed out a call for first-aid to his assistant: "Mr. Watson, please come here, I want you!" Bell forgot his aciddrenched clothes when Watson burst into the room effervescing: "Mr. Bell, I heard every word you said — distinctly."

If Mr. Bell had realized, perhaps, that he was about to emblazon a memorable page in history, he would have been prepared with a more interesting and inspiring sentence. Why, it might even have been introduced with the word "hello"!

Progress went on rapidly and on October 9, 1976, the new baby was taken outdoors for the first time. The test was on a wire two miles long, from Boston to Cambridge. Watson went to Cambridge and waited until Bell signaled; Watson then connected the telephone and listened. No a murmur came through! Said Watson at the time he was trying to connect with Bell: "The janitor had been standing there looking at me as if he thought I was crazy — shouting into the end of a wire and expecting somebody in Boston to hear me!" After rectifying what he thought was the trouble, Watson listened again. Plainly as one could wish came Bell's "Ahoy! ahoy! ahoy!" Watson "ahoyed" back, and the first long-

distance telephone conversation began.

The first telephone message was an emergency call. To this day the telephone is quite appropriately the "first" in times of emergency. A robbery, a fire, a flood, a wreck, etc., all call for the telephone's expeditious use. These bell-ringing contrivances are found on trains, airplanes, ships, submarines, moving automobiles; men under the sea in diving suits use them; yes, whether you are moving .cr stationary, the telephone haunts you and you had better answer, because the mechanical ring never gets tired.

Want to know the weather or time?

Most cities in the United States have a number you can dial. But you probably will not hear the voice of the "weatherman"; more likely it will be the lovely voice of a girl. New Yorkers dial WEather 6-1212 when they want to know that Old Sol is going to do tomorrow, and MEridian 7-1212 when their clock stops. In some places in Switzerland, telephone benefits are really novel. A young bride can pick up her phone, dial a number and get suggestions for each meal, recipes and all. You can even dial a number, wait a moment, and you will hear a perfect "A" tone — and you can tune your violin!

Telephone company employees have their unhappy moments when felicity flies the coop. Sometimes it is necessary to eliminate a telephone exchange. This has happened: A lady dialed MAple 0428. The operator informed her: "MAple is obsolete now." Taking it quite calmly she remarked: "Oh well, give me OBsolete 0428!" The telephone companies try to co-operate. They will even try to co-operate with certain firms that want special numbers. So when the Knights of Columbus wanted their headquarters number to be COlumbus 5-1492, they readily got it. A certain liquor-store manager wanted the number WH 4-7530.

This seemed like a reasonable request and he almost got his number until it was discovered that combination would spell out cryptically: W-H-I-S-K-E-Y. He was turned down.

Telephone wires today, that is, 95 per cent of them, are encased in a cable that can withstand ice fallen trees, and just about everything except unskilled nimrods and vitamin-deficient squirrels.

When telephone lines went up and invaded the treetop realm of the squirrels, the acrobatic animals quickly took a keen interest in telephone cables. With great alacrity they . will nibble and gnaw at a cable until they make a hole and proceed to tear the paper insulation off the

hundreds of wires inside. There's a reason for their cable-craving mania. Scientists claim the reason for their insatiable craving for cables is that they lack some vitamin or mineral. But whatever it is, the Bell people know it is not salt. They hopefully distributed blocks of it around heavy squirrel territory. The squirrels ate that up and went back to the cable diet again.

Everywhere you go drugstore, hotel, railroad station, hallways, just anywhere (you never know where it is going to pop up next) you meet that ever-present device, the coin-in-the-slot pay 'phone.

While they comprise only 2 pet, cent of the United States' total, yet they average about 7 per... cent of the revenue. The present coin phone was invented by William Gray; however, before his type became the standard, other inventors had ideas too. One inventor's idea was to have the coin unlock a sliding door in front of the mouthpiece. Another surefire method which still sends chills down the spines of telephone company officials was the pay phone that allowed the user to enter the booth; then the door suddenly locked behind him. The only way he could escape was by depositing a coin in the lock!

And now we come to that anomaly of anomalies, the "two longs and a short" and everybody rushes to listen in. It is the only mechanical marvel that can make the toll of a bell surpass medieval ideas of the "clarion call of judgment".

It is the one invention that makes country living more satisfactory: the party line! By heeding every ding of the bell, it is possible to keep in touch with birth and death, illness and recovery, and at the same time pick up a trick or two in the preserving of pears. It is a country tradition that when the telephone rings, receivers all along the line are lifted stealthily with such diminution of power that everyone has a hard time hearing anything at all. Naturally, no one deliberately listens in when there are two telephones in the apartment or house, for that privilege is one of the acknowledged, unwritten ones for the country alone. Such listening in is always completely by accident.

Then there are those telephone erratics. The ring-and-run caller who never gives the person called time to answer. The tailspin talker who always pulls out of a "good-by" into another longwinded topic; every time you jingle him you get the busy signal. The helpless soul who never can find a pencil or paper.

The dillydallier who tells you to "hold

Strana 20 the line" a minute, and is "days' getting back. The mental giant who never needs to keep a list of telephone numbers and who is always being told: "You have the wrong number.' The ambidextrous businessman who swings and sways, oscillating between two phones like a fan. The malcontent who is never satisfied with just one phone in the house. The eardrum blaster who slams down the receiver on its cradle with a disconcerting crash — before you say good-by. The jack-pot-minded pay-phone user who, after his call is completed, always feels to see if his coin came back. By way of sympathy, we mention the proud parent whose possessions include, among othe things, a soft sofa, a telephone, and a teen-age daughter.

With 175,000.000 telephone calls a day in the United States, there is a possibility of 350,000,000 "hellos" a day. that is an awful lot of "hellos". And that is the little rascal, that is the pestilential wretch the telephone companies have been waging warfare against for many years now, that "hello". The war is relentless. Barrage after barrage of educational movies, lectures, leaflets and brochures do not seem to faze'him. Invincible he is. The telephone company recommends answering with your own name so that the caller knows at once if he has gotten the right number and party. Yet what happens when the average person prances over to answer the bell's (oil? You guessed it, all other words fly momentarily into oblivion; "hello" alone survives the vocabulary slaughter. But who is Hello?" the telephone company ,officials ask brightly. Yes, for whom does the bell toll? Not for "hello", to be sure! ) • 4.

Strana 21

STILL THE BIGGEST BARGAIN In lonely State on the vast mahogany desk of the purchasing manager of a large chain of five-and-ten stores reposes a small object encased in steel and glass. Before the desk flows a stream of fast-talking salesmen. Nearly all of them sooner or later refer to their offerings as great bargains.

At the word "bargain" the man behind the desk raises a hand to stop the flow of rhetoric and points to the steel and glass object.

"When you use that word," he says, "stop and think. Can what, you're selling compare with this as a bargain?"

It 'seldom can. For the item on the desk is one of history's most famous bargains — the dollar watch. Though it now sells for $1.69 to $2.25, it is an even greater bargan today than it was fifty years ago when it first came to be known as "the watch that made the dollar famous." For in that time, wages have increased more than eightfold and material costs have more than doubled.

The more closely you examine such a watch the more fabulous a buy it seems.

Containing at least ninety separate parts, most of them machined to a, tolerance of a thousandth of an inch or less, the watch is a goad timekeeper and is a striking example of what American mass production methods can do.

Ever since the invention of the sundial at least six thousand years ago, inventors have wrestled with the problem of keeping time and even made some very decorative but inaccurate clocks. It was not until the Sixteenth Century that, Galileo made possible the modern •mechanical clock through his study of the habits and personality of the pendulum. A weight swinging on the end ,e, f a wire, the great scientist discovered, always swings back and forth at the same rate, even if the propelling force becomes weaker. It will swing in a smaller arc, but the rate remains the same.

Galileo's discovery made possible a clock with more regular habits. By hitching the pendulum to a set of intermeshing gears, the clockmakers of his time developed a pretty good timekeeper. The pendulum lived up to its reputation for steadiness and went back and forth with monotonous regularity, allowing the gears to turn just one notch per pendulum swing. And the gears in turn, propelled the hands around the face of the clock.

By using tiny jewels for bearings to cut down friction and by hand-machining parts, clock and watch makers achieved greater and greater accuracy until the Eighteenth Century when an

Englishclockmaker named John Harrison copped a prize of 20,000 pounds with a chronometer that varied only twofifths of a second per day.

But the costly jewels and skilled handwork necessary made such 'a clock a thing for the wealthy only, and there was a growing demand for a cheap timepiece that anybody could afford.

By 1807 one Connecticut Yankee was selling uncased clocks with wooden movements for as little as four dollars.

Later he and his competitors switched to metal.

But without expensive bearings, the p opularpriced watch suffered from a great . deal of friction in the constantly turning metal parts. It took a huge mainspring to overcome the friction, and in 1880 one fat $4 "turnip" had a mainspring almost nine feet long.

It was about 1890 when a super-salesman named Robert Ingersoll learned that new steels could give much more power to a smaller spring. For the first time a small cheap watch became possible. Ingersoll promptly talked one of the older clock companies into risking everything on the development and mass sale of his dollar watch.

It was a happy investment. The venture was an unqualified success, and clock and watch companies the country over jumped on the bandwagon.

Today one of the most successful makers of the dollar (literally, $1.69 and up). watch is the 100,year-old E. Ingraham Company of Bristol, Connecticut.

Edward and Dudley Ingraham who run the company say that they never cease to marvel at the price of their watches.

"Between 1941 and 1940," says Edward, "the wages we paid tripled. Since 1940 wages and materials costs have more than doubled again, but our pocket watch still -costs the consumer less than two dollars."

One reason that this low price is possible is that every year the Ingrahams Or their technicians discover a number of ingenious ways to make watch parts a little cheaper, a little faster or a little better. Since 1914 they estimate they have made as many as 300 improvements in their production methods.

A tour through the plant — where some 2250 men and women turn out over 30,000 watches and clocks per day — is likely to be confusing to a layman, but it does give him an idea of how so much can be sold for so little.

Among their best-developed machines is the one that stamps out the toothed wheels for the trains of gears. Flipping out 500. steel or brass wheels per hour,

it serves as one of the best examples of the difference between producing the dollar and the jewelled watch. ) PUSH BUTTON PARKING The skyline of Washington, D. C., is dominated by two slender towers. One is the stately Washington Monument.

The other is a garage, which may in time become something of a monument itself.

For this garage — the tallest and narrowest industrial building in the nation's capital — represents a new idea in the solution of an almost universal problem: how to find a place to palk in cities crawling with too many care. The high promise or the garage lies in the fact that it can park seventy-two automobiles in ground space that would ordinarily accommodate no more than nine.

It has no ramps cr aisles. Only one attendant is needed to control the whole operation, and he never touches the cars. He merely pushes buttons.

The narrow construction of the building — it is only twenty-five feet wide — is made possible by a device known as the Park-0-'Mat, a pushbutton mechanism that automatically moves cars from the entrance of the garage to individual stalls, placed one atop the other, on either side of an elevator shaft.

This is how it works: The customer leaves his car in the entrance lane. He may lock it, but he must release the hand brake. The attendant pushes the appropriate button on a master control panel, and a dolly rolls under the automobile.

From both ends of the dolly; metal arms swing up and press against the car's bumpers. Then, the dolly rolls the car onto an elevator. When the elevator arrives at the appointed stall, the mechanism pushes the car into it. Customers have to wait less than a minute for their cars to be returned by the same mech—The Lamp anism. ) • 4 • ( It's hard for some peiTle to turn a cold shoulder to a hot spot.

Pohled na deti pani Jannetu rozjasnil, ale take matersky zneklidnil.

"Kdyby jen Efa vice sill!" pozasteskla si manZelovi.

Strana 29 Salala z neho moudrost, rozhodnost a laska k nim I/Sem. Pani Hetmanova se k nemu vdeene a cluvetive ptitiskla. Katastrofu na Delawate maji pfeci za sebou.
