Dalei schaze jsme konali ve ekolni budove. Zaeatkem ledna 1906 zaeali jsme uva2ovat, abychom men vlastni budovu.

Zakoupeny byly dva akry pozemku od bratra Jos. liolane. V roce 1946 °pet dva akry pfikoupeny na umisteni automobilfi a dnes mame prostorneho mista dostatek. Po zaplaceni pozemku byla pokladna prazdna a proto bylo nutno, abychom se skill na budouei budovu. Kandy daroval 20 dolara a deset dni prace zdarma.

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

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR SINCERE GREETINGS COME to you from Brother Marek, Sister Hilsher, and your editor from Chicago, where all three of us attend various fraternal meetings held here on May 6-8, 1953. As you may have noticed in the last issue of the 'Vestnik, in the minutes of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Marek, Brother Chupick, Sister Hilsher and your editor were authorized to attend these fraternal meetings in Chicago. It is regrettable that Brother Chupick changed his mind, although he was to be one of the party, and did not come with us. He felt, however, that since the investment section of the National Fraternal Congress did not meet, that there was no purpose of going. * * THE SUPREME LODGE at its April meeting authorized four of us to attend the Fraternal Youth Counselors meeting, the Fraternal Field Managers' Association meeting, the Fraternal Insurance Counselors meeting and the meetmg of the Press Section of the National 'Fraternal Congress. The last one was for the officers and directors of the Press Section to meet and discuss plans for better efficiency of the fraternal papers, such as our own Vestnik, and for better publicity through theSe papers.

• ••

rived at cur destination in Chicago at six in the evening. Brother Marek and Sister Hilsher registered in the Congress Hotel, where all the meetings were to be held, and my wife and I decided to make a short run to Dearborn, Michigan to visit our relatives.

IT TURNED OUT to be the worst part of the trip, after traveling all day long Tuesday. There are some trips which will always remain to be imprinted in one's memory. Our :Trip from Chicago ts Dearborn will belong in that class. It was very nice when we started. We drove on the superhighway along the Michigan Lake, a lovely drive, promising to be very enjoyable trip of some 200 miles.

It turned out to be much longer and far from being enjoyable. As soon as we hit the state of Indiana, it started to drizzle. The traffic was extremely heavy, and about . four-fifths of the way we traveled in a dense fog and rain. At times, we just crawled 20-25 miles per hour. Instead of reaching our destination at ten or eleven at night, as we planned, we arrived at four in the morning.

A FEW MINUTES of rest, a few cups of coffee, and back to Chicago we had to go. It turned out to be a lovely drive, after all. The fog disappeared, the sun was bright, and we enjoyed the spring time of the region along the Michigan Lake. The season is much delayed, in comparison with the season in Texas.

The trees are beginning to bud, and some of the trees are still bare. It looked more like the latter part of February in Texas. The temperature was around 5055 degrees. Top coats, overcoats and heavy jackets were seen everywhere. But it turned cut to be a pleasant spring season.' * •

SISTER BIRDIE HILSHER suggested to invite another lady companion to go along, since Brother Chupick didn't go.

I finally persuaded my wife to go with us, take our family car, and if time would permit, we could pay a visit to. my sister, Mrs. Charles Syptak, in Dearborn, Michigan.

You will be hearing a good deal more from Sister Hilsher. I know that her trip to Chicago will be very profitable, not an expense, but a very wise investment. However, she will need cc-operation from, every officer of the Supreme Lodge, from the local youth supervisors, from all of our members.

• NOW WE 'KNOW that we really have to start a regular "youth campaign." It will take some effort, plenty of planning, but Brother Marek, Sister Hilsher and myself have been fully convinced that we can make the things hum in almost every lodge through the children.

We can get better attendance of our meetings through children. We can shOw our legislators, who are constantly bombarded by the big influential commercial -companies to tax us, that we are doing something which the commercial life insurance companies never did and never will do, that is, the training of our youth to be respectable citizens. We have to do something to show in our communities that we are doing more than just selling life insurance.

WE ARE PROUD to make the statement that we were the only Czech fraternal organization and the only Texas society which took a part in these midyear meetings in Chicago. It was a satisfaction to hear the delegates expressing their surprise that we came all the way from Texas. As you know, the National Fraternal Congress will have its conventim this fall in Dallas, and all the societies which belong to the National Fraternal Congress will send their delegates to visit Texas.

And when Brother Marek was called to speak, and had explained in a well-chosen words that our SPJST emblem is that five-pointed star with five letters, he really seemed to strike a very responsive cord. He made a very good talk.

ADDITIONAL REPORTS will be given to our members in the next issue. Sister Hilsher will write and I wouldn't be surprised if Brother Marek didn't also prepare his report.

LETTERS POKROK DALLAS LADGE NO. 84

Dallas, Texas F1rothers, Sisters and Friends! .

A few lines to my Brothers and Sisters of Lodge Pokrok Dallas No. 84. On Sunday, May 17th is one of our regular rnanthly meetings, which I have to say are not attended as much as our fine membership should.

If more of cur younger members with our older experienced Brothers and Sisters could attend our regular meetings, we could in a short time have not only Sunday afternoon lodge meetings, but increase a closer brotherly and sisterly understanding; and with that we would make our local lodge a bigger and better fraternal organization. This can only be accomplished by succeful attendance of your local lod ge meetings. You know, Ii others and Sisters, each member has the rights to express himself, and assist, by all means anything for the betterment of the order.

There are so many things that make our fraternal organization a success.

Each one of you members can help, mostly going back to the point mentioned attending meetings regularly.

I am going to start counting the number of members at each of our meetings, and see what increase in members we will have. Don't forget, members, I need your cooperation. The date of our next meeting, I repeat, is May 17th 1953 at 3 p. m.

On June 7th, which is the first Sun.day in June, we are having our yearly celebration. That will mark our 12th yeah in our new home.

I am with the committee inviting all Our Brothers, Sisters, friends and neigh-. bars to spend that day with us. A program is being planned. Food there will be plenty — yon know the ladies. Then at night we will have a dance with music by our truly fine and hard worker, Brother Frank Kubin from our friendly city of Ennis.

Folks, we are going to be looking for yc'u.

Now just a few lines from our District 3. I hear some good news from the different lodges and understand they are all working hard. That makes me feel

vESTNfK— WEST, TEXAS good and I know that on July 26th at our District meeting, which will be held at the Sokol , Hall in Ft. Worth, Texas, we will have a large attendance and there we can discuss our pros and cons.

To all lodges in District 3:—we should try and get as many of the organizers to attend the meeting. They are the ones we want to help. We can help.by everybody helping make better meetings, and that will make better understanding between each one. Your SPJST is one of the tiniest fraternal organization there is. Let's help it grow. You can, I know!

Last Sunday May 3rd Brother L. 0.

Hosek and I spent the afternoon at the celebration of Lodge 154 in Ft. Worth, which we enjoyed. But .I certainly was disappointed with the small attendance, Brothers and Sisters, let's help each .other; that is what makes the world.

God gives you life, but only you can make your friends. Let's make friends and keep them. They are worth more then money. Best regards to all Members and officers of District Three.

I am Fraternally yours„ Cyrill Pokladnik )• REPRESENTATIVES SPACEK'S WEEKLY LETTER

This week the loan shark bill was agai to order an immediate report from the judiciary committee. The bill proposes to let courts jail any lender whose total charges exceed 33 per cent a year. ,It would not increase the interest rate, but would limit total charges. The two juvenile de:inquents bill have been virtually buried in committee. One of them would lower the age at which juveniles could be prosecuted from 17 to 15 years. The other would allaw a judge to send a 15 other would allow a judge to send a 15 penitentiary or reform school, upon conviction of a felony. The House completed legislative action on a bill to help radio and television stations out of a libel squeeze. It frees the stations from liability for libel in any speeches which they cannot censor before broadcast.

The House also concurred to Senate amendments and sent to the governor a bill to permit the levy of a student fee at the University of Texas up to $5 per semester if approved by a vote of students, for erection and maintenance of a Student Union Building. The House refused to vote final session adjournment May 20. The House concurred in a Senate amendment which sent to Texas voters in November, 1954, the proposal to require women to serve on juries. The change was from "permitting" 'to "requiring" them to serve. The House ap-

Only persons in smaller towns now get permanent exemptions. The House passed and sent to the governor a bill making mandatory a three day sentence for driving while intoxicated.

West, Texas Brothers and Sisters: I must say that our members do stick together. We had our get-togethltr April 22, that was our first night social. And it went over with a bang. Nearly all members came and brought ,food. The food was more than good. It was fit for any king. If you didn't get enough to eat that was your fault. There was food left.

Sister Christine Milberger, brought a large basket of flowers and that added more color to our table. Sti I guess that made us all eat more.

Everyone had a good time I am sure, everywhere you look some were dancing, some played cards, some played domincs, children played games. There was fun for all. So members that didn't come had missed a swell time. You better come this next social affair because you will miss a good time. I must say.

So Brothers and Sisters of Lodge No. 54 try to be with us this next time again, it will be in May, I will let you all know after our meeting on what day our social will be held.

Yours truly, Lillian Fickel EAST BERNARD LODGE NO. 28

THE OLMOS COMMUNITY The Olmos Community, Sunday April 19,, was host to the meeting of the 7th District, of Texas of the SPJST (Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas), at the Olmos schoolhouse where Lodge 26 "Slovan Jihu" holds its monthly meetings.

The weather was nice, Bringing out many representatives of 17 Lodges in the district. Among the largest representation being from the counties of Bee, Bexar, Wilson, Nueces and Atascosa.

After a bounteous barbecue repast to approximately 400 people served by the local Lodge, a short business session took place during which the officers of the district, J. J. Krusinsky, chairman, Ocrpus Christi; vice-chairman, Tom Novak, Floresville; Secretary, J. Shortner, Karnes City; treasurer, Emil Miculka, Floresville, took part. Young Roy lira: nicky Orange Grove, was asked to speak to the delegation, to which he gave an illuminating view of the present youth movement. He was awarded by a loud applause.

The district program began with "Allegiance to the Flag" followed by welcoming address by John P. Nedbalek, local chairman of the Lodge No. 26.

Then song "America", after which recognition of officers and lodges was in order.

Then followed music by a trio of young people on the accordion, trumpet and , violin, vocal solo by Mr. Bolf from Lodge No. 107; song by children of Mrs. McClosky, Lodge No. 107; song by girls of the local Lodge No. 26; song by boys of the local lodge and song by the ladies of the local lodge.

Speeches by Supreme Lodge officers followed. Those present were President Edw. Marek, Josef Koliha Jr., treasurer, and the Editor of the SPJST organ Vestnik, Stepan Valcik.

Last but not least was the appearance of the American Czech Sokol, a gymnastic organization from Corpus Christi.

First was the gymnastic drill of Juvenile boys which was held on the outside for lack of room in the schoolhouse. The name "Sokol" meaning Falcon was rightly named for those boys actually flew through the air, the youngest of which was about 6 years old.

The rod drill by the girls was some, thing to see in as much as it requires grace and perfect timing, the rods blazing in the sunlight completing the picture.

The district program committee headed

by Mrs. Victor Veroda of the local Lodge' prepared the program of entertainment

Sylvester C. Bundil to celebrate the event, and Josef Koliha Jr., had the task of being master of ceremonies.

The Olmos Community include the land once owned by Cranz and Kessler.

The old pioneers had their work cut out for them, for, to make the land arable, first, it had to be grubbed by hands young in heart and spirit, work was no discouragement to them. What had to be done regardless of hardships ahead.

From sources available among the first pioneers were Joe Strouhal, Jim Doubrava, Frank Suga,rek, Frank Vavrusa, Joe. Bohac, John Kubenka, J. Dudek, Vrana, Stephan Kubala, Getner, J. Spickerman, R. A. Walters and Bill Blese, In the meantime others came to settle; Emil Sumbera, Otto Hanus, Emerich Hanus, Vaclav Hanus, L. Krupa, Chas.

Karsch, J. J. Range, R. L. Medford, Henry Sliva, Chas. Bayer, Frank Herman, John Holubec and Peter Janca.

The settlement was predominently of Czechoslovakian origin.

In the year 1898 a schoolhouse was built for the growing children of the community, not only did the pioneers grow crops, they, too, grew large families, among them the largest family of Frank Sugarek, having 14 children. Twelve are now living.

Their children did not 'want to pioneer with such a large family. Minnie the oldest daughter had six. She married Henry Lauer, Jim the next didn't marry, now living in El Campo, Carrie married Weitzel; Frank had six children; John had four, Emil five; Annie married Chas. Doubrava, Julia married Jim Valek.

Next in succession is Joe, for many years living in San Antonio in the employ of Uncle Sam. Joe, after his seventh birthday was struck by a rattlesnake and had the misfortune of losing his leg as the result of the bite. He had one child dying at birth.

Zofie wed A. W. Range, now of Corpus Christi. They had six children. Lillie married Frank Janca, Marie is now Mrs. Victor Veroda. Willie married Angelina Motal and now lives in San Antonio. They had three children. Rudolf wed Mary Hanus. They have two boys. Frank and John have passed away.

Henry, the second child born to Minnie, is dead. Frank's first torn, Raymond, is also at rest.

Connecting the Olmos Conuminity, nearer Beeville, is the Central Community, pioneered by such Czech names as Valenta Kubala, Charlie Sugarek, Joe

Barton, Peter Mikeska and . Charlie Peter.

Valentine Kubala had about 6 children, names of some of them have slipped the mind of the writer and are not immediately available, Chas. Sugarek had 4 boys and 1 girl: Jim, Charlie and Eddie. Lyrumil and Eddie have passed away, Eddie having been killed during the first World War. Chas. Peter had two pairs—two boys and two girls, Mary, Molly, Charlie and Eddie. Charlie and Frank Sugarek were cousins. Peter Mikeska, one of the charter members of Lodge No. 26, raised a family 4pf twelve children. The families moved to Live Oak county and.4ettled where Mikeska, Texas now stands.

It was in anticipation that I neared Olmos schoolhouse to attend the district meeting April 19th, for it was my first visit to the community after about 32 years absence from the county. I remembered- the, school house well for I had, as a lad, attended lodgemeetings there with my parents, -Alois , and Josephine Bundil, then living in Beeville. My father was a . member of Lodge. No 28 .and I'll never forget the time Milos Podlipny talked me into practicing a song to sing at a meeting and I was struck with stage fright. So much so, I started 'ahead of time and he had hard time catching up, resulting in a terrible act. Mr. Podlipny was an employee of Schabs Jewelry Store, now living in. Rosenberg, Texas.

Later, I attended dances there going via horse and buggy, never a• horse alone for. I still had no fond recollections of being thrown on my face and breaking my nose. That nose is yet to be straightened. If it was in the daytime I amused myself on the long trip by , trying 'to count the hairs on the . horse's tail giving. up after a time from sheer eye strain, the trot of the horse breaking the focus. My ambition was never realized.

The modern version is the contest . of guessing haw many beans in a bottle.

Coming into the community I was surprised at myself for not recogniling the landmarks I used to know. Has the country changed so much that I couldn't see anything familiar about it? 'I thought, even the schOolhouse seems unfamiliar. As I remembered it it was small with just 'a wagon trail' leading to it. Now a paved road stretches past and I learned the school was enlarged and had been moved some distance from it's former site.

What You Should Know About Burglary Tonight, without realizing it, you may invite burglars into your home. Worse yet, such an invitation could cost you your life. You could be returning home and surprising a burglar, be shot to death.

The front pages of newspapers are filled with - headlines about crime waves murders, muggings, burglaries. But of all crimes, theft is the fastest growing.

Lest year's figures in New York City aiong show a 460 percent increase in home robberies; the cases reported rose from 7,082 to 32,623.

"But all this is happening to somebody else," yoia say. "This won't happen to me." You read of a house being broken into, or of somebody being slugged by a burglar, and you assure yourself, "But that's on the other side of town."

A young family returned to their home in a Chicago suburb after a two-week holiday to find their house ransacked by burglars. "I can't understand why our place was picked out," the father told the police. "I stopped the milk and paper deliveries before we left."

"But you neglected to stop your mail deliveries," the police chief said. "Your mail box was stuffed to overflowing. It was practically an advertisement to to burglars."

Not long ago a Philadelphia family, going away for a week end, not only stopped its milk, paper, and mail deliveries but addel a clever touch. They kept a light burning in an upper room.

The single light was an even better advertisement to burglars than a house in complete darkness. Burglars, noticing the solitary light for two nights, were quick to detect that the house was unoccupied and broke in. Had the premises been left dark, the burglars could not have been certain that the occupants had not retired early or that they might return unexpectedly.

Police departments across the country receive reports every night of burglaries committed because families going out for the evening have left the garage doors open. "An open garage door," says Police Chief John M. Gleason of Greenwich, Connecticut, "is as good as an engraved invitation to burglars."

Many burglars are committed because people do not take the simple precaution of locking all the windows, particularly those on the first floor. Some entries are made easy for the criminals because the front door is locked while the back door is left unlocked.

Many doors are equipped with locks that are not buglarproof. You could do

(By Alan Hynd)

Some burglars, after deciding that a house is ripe for entering, make doubly sure by telephoning or ringing .the front doorbell. If they get no answer, they know they are on the right track. If they do get an answer, they make a pretext of some sort, usually saying they wish to speak to Mr. So-and-So a fictious character.

If your neighborhood has been burglarized and you plan to go out for the evening, it is wise to ask a neighbor to keep an eye en your place. The same applies if you go off on a trip. It's also prudent, law enforcement of f icials point otrt, to leave a key withe neighbor if you are to be away for5more than a few days.,-The neighbor can check up on things 'occasionally to make certain no robbery has been committed. That same neighbor can also remove advertising matter left at your doorstep or in your mailbox so that- it does not pile up as a tip-off that yeu are away on a vacation.

Your. mailman will bt glad to keep an eye on your property while you are absent. He usually knows the grounds of your place better than the policeman and can quickly detect anything out of the ordinary. But above all, let the police know if you are going away.

Should you ever come home and find that your house has been burglarized, don't touch a thing except the telephone. Call the police immediately. If you touch various objects and open closets and drawers to determine the extent .of ycur loss, you may obliterate fingerprints — which are the most valuable clues for tracking down and convicting the burglar.

The police are invaluable after a robbery. But you yourself can be even more valuable by taking sensible precautions to prevent a burglary. By following the basic advice given here you will be doing everything possible to discourage an unwelcome visit of burglars to your home.

worse than have a locksmith look over your place.

The average burglar will usually pass up a house where he finds a light on the ground floor and another one on the second floor. Leaving only a downstairs light on is poor protection because a burglar can usually peer in and observe that the lighted room is unoccupied.

But if there is also a light on in a secondfloor room, that might mean that someone in the house has retired early and left a light downstairs for somebody who is out for the evening.

Many householders unwittingly cooperate with burglars by leaving a key under a doormat when they go out for t)ne evening. Others, when absenting themselves from home for a few hours, leave a note under the door saying what time they will return.

The protection furnished by dogs varies according to the dog and the location of the house. Where houses are close together, the barking of a dog will often., scare off a burglar. In more remote locations, the barking of a dog is of doubtful value.

A friend of mine had a vicious-looking dog with a frightening bark. One night burglars (who later were caught and confessed) entered my friend's home and established cordial relations with the 'animal by feeding it hamburger while ransacking the place.

1VIany burglars follow the society columns of the paper to find out who is going away on a vacation and when.

One rueful husband in New York's exclusive Westchester County blamed a costly robbery on his wife."If she hadn't insisted on getting her name in the paper before we went off on that trip," he told the police, "we would certainly never have been robbed." The police agreed with him.

There is no sure-fire protection against burglary in a private home. A burglar alarm, which will go off at the first sign of forcible entry, is too costly for the average family.

Bombs Change Our Weather?

How many times have you heard people say: "I know why it's been raining the past few dayS. It's those atomic bombs they've been shooting off."

Or, have you heard the one that goes: "Friend of mine says they can actually stop a hurrican by shooting an atom bomb."

Ideas like these have become common gossip throughout the United States.

They're so widespread that the Atomic Energy Commission and the U. S. WeaXher Bureau receive a good deal of mail asking about "atomic weather."

Does the A-bomb really make it rain — or snow? Could the bomb "tailor" the weather to stop violent storms?

These and many other questions were taken to the AEC and to the Weather Bureau.

Those agencies answered the ques tione. They disclosed how atomic be tests are actually being used in nection, with weather studies.

What will that mean to 3;ou in the years ahead?

It may mean• more accurate weather forecasts. Of course, weathermen won't call their shots with 100-per-cent accuracy in the future. But information provided by A-bomb tests is Habig in some of the "pieces" in the weather jig-saw puzzle.

Whet about the Al-bomb "making" weather? Is all that gossip true?

Two authorities say flatly: "You can !forget what you've heard about the atomic bomb changing or influencing our weather."

Doctor Walter Claus, of the AEC Division of Biology and Medicine„ and Dr. Lester Machta, of the Weather Bureau Scientfic Services Division. point out that there's absolutely no solid evidence that such bomb- blasts can cause band weather.

Here's Why: the bomb doesn't really have enough punch to reverse nature.

The sun, for instance, "puts down" as much energy a day in two or three square miles as an atom blast gives off.

A moderate rain gives off the energy equ ivalent of two or three A-bombs — a second. If you take into account the fact that a hurricane gives off many times the energy of a light rain, you realize how impractical it would be to try to stop one with A-bombs.

If you live in any major American city and there's been some windy weather, you can't blame the A-bomb. It simply doesn't cause wind storms, and only in the immediate test area are winds in any way affected.

By Paul P. Goodman (Condensed from Parade) But when a bomb is shot off, a cloud of debris flies into the air. It "mush:rooms" into the sky. You know how it looks. It is from this cloud that our weather authorities are gaining new knowledge. What about the mushroom cloud?

It consists of tiny radioactive particles -- that may or may , not come down somewhere in the United States.

How do weather experts gain know ledge from the cloud of debris?

Throughout the United States, opera, ting witho ut fanfare, are more than 120 her V.! "collecting" stations. s comes down — in CaliOhio or Vermont — or — the tiny particles are ed. The particles are 1 sticky paper or in fion 'achines.

It's the first "monitoring" system of kind in history. After the sticky and sucticn machines have caught .icles, the samples are sent to the New York operations office of the AEC for automatic measurement of their radioactivity.

Because the mushrOom cloud is torn apart by turbulent air, the debris never lands in the same place twice. And it never concentrates in one area. As a matter of fact, your chances of seeing the cloud are slim, because it disperses in a very few hours. But by charting where debris falls on successive days weather authorities can "track the invisible cloud."

What has been learned from "cloud tracking"?

There is some evidence that rain "washes out" the atmosphere much more thoroughly than is generally believed.

The evidence on hew rain acts in the atmosphere, plus other data may someday have a civil defense application. If American city were hit by an enemy A-bomb, the weather information now being gained might help authorities plan how people could escape radiation inTracking the spread of the debris has, special importance for weathermen.

After one bomb test, the weather anale ysts predicted that the cloud would move off toward the east coast. But, the debris did not appear east of Utah. Instead, it showed up in Oregon and in California. When the cloud was studied it was found that a certain movement of

air in Utah hadn't been taken into consideration.

What actually happened was this A low-pressure storm was developing, but there, was only scant evidence of it.

Weather analysts at the time didn't believe the evidence was significant. But the movement of the cloud told the weathermen that they should not have taken the scant evidence into account.

Later they replotted the cloud's course correctly. This added to the storehouse of basic knowledge the weatherman now uses.

And no one would admit more readily than weather authorities that they need more evidence to work The cloud-tracking work has driven home this point to Weather Bureau staff people: the presently used weather map that you see today doesn't give the whole story. Variations in wind speed and direction, while net yet absolutely clear-cut, indicate that a lot has to be learned.

There are still many pieces that have to be filled into the jig-saw everybody the weather. talks about ) • 4. • ( George Washington had no middle name. ) • 4, Mount Blanc is the highest peak of the Alps. )°4*( Lincoln Ellsworth was the first man to fly across the Antartic continent. ♦ Galileo invented the thermometer.

SABATH MEMORIAL ADDRESS In the city of Chicago the men and women who knew so well the late Congressman Adolph J. Sabeth gathered last week in a mass meeting- to honor his memory Senator William Langer, of North Dakota, delivered on this occasion a fitting address. For those who know that Sabath was born in Czechoslovakia, this biographical sketch by Senator Langer will be worth reading. The address follows: I deem it a genuine privilege to have been invited to join witth you in paying tribute to the memory of one of your distinguished public servants — Representative Adolph J. Sabath. Citizens of Chicago proudly acclaim him as an honored son; but in a real sense Congressman Sabath belongs to the whole Nation, which he loved passionately and served so well.

His life reads like an Horatio Alger story; a penniless immigrant rising to lofty heights as an important official in the greatest and most powerful government in the world. His spectacular succes and outstanding contributions reflected glory on the 35 million immigrants who came to this country since he arrived here in 1881.

He was 1 of 11 children of poor parents who lived in Zabori, a small village in Bohemia, where Adolph was born. In his early youth he heard stories of the land of opportunities across the ocean.

He saved enough money while working as a store clerk to buy a steamship ticket to his land of promises, the United States of America. He arrived at Baltimore in 1881 with only enough money to travel to Chicago where he joined his cousin. He never left Chicago. Here he lived and labored to the end of his long and honored life. He dwelt among people who came from Eastern Euroupe: Czechs, Poles, Lithuanians, Yugoslays.

He was proud of his neighbors, and they came to respect him and be proud of him. Congressman Sabath brought to his adopted country his parents and his brothers and sisters.

Like many immigrants before him, the young Czech immigrant soon became aware of the education opportunities which this country offered. While working in a Halstead Street shoestore curing the day, first as clerk and then as manager, he attended night school.

He first took a business course at Bryant & Stratton BUsiness College. Shortly thereafter his ambition drove him on to study law at the Chicago College of Law and receive his LL.B. degree, at the age of 30, from Lake Forest University.

It was evident that Adolph Sabath was i going places; he was pulling himself up by his own bootstraps. He had energy and ambition and was desirous of selfdevelopment.

His activity, however, was not limited to his own welfare. He took a deep interest in aiding his neighbors. He helped to !organize a boys club (the Pilsen Youth Club); a Singing Society; the Czech-American Club; the Pilsen Society. He was conscious of his civic re, sponsibilities, and organized a Democratic Political Club, in which he , displayed a lively interest and a life-long loyalty.

It was not long before his neighbors discovered his various and worthy talents, his generous heart, and .deep sense of fair play. So at the age of 30, he was made a justice of the peace, and 2 years later, 1897, he was elected police magistrate, a post he held for 10 years. In this judicial capacity, Judge Sabath was instrumental in abolishing the out-worn fee system; in establishing a juvenile court; and inaugurating a parole system for the first offenders. These seem like real small reforms today, but they reveal now the real stature and character of Adolph Sabath, of 50 years agq.

He was an ardent humanitarian at a time when little thought was given to the plight 'of the underprivileged masses, especially the immigrants.

It is no wonder the wise and alert political leaders in Chicago saw in Judge Sabath splendid material for higher post of responsibility. In 1906, he was selected to run for Congress in the famous fifth Congressional District, bounded by Pulaski Road, Chicage River, and the Chicago, Great Western Railroad.

In all subsequent years he was reelected in every contest; he remained in Congress to the day of his death. He established a record, having served consecutively longer than any Congressman in our Nation's history. He -was frequently elected without campaigning, and reelected during the Eisenhower landslide. He served in Congress during the administration of eight Presidents.

Congressman Sabath's personality made itself felt in high places. During his first term he introduced a bill providing for workmen's accident compensation.Teddy Roosevelt was then in the White House. At a White House reception to Members of Congress, the President, after greeting Mr. Sabath in the receiving line, called out, "So you are Mr. Sabath, the author of that compensation bill. Bully for you."

During the adminstration of Woodrow Wilson. Congressman Sabath brought the renowned Czech patriot, Mr. Thomas G. Masaryk, to the White House.

There and then Mr. Masaryk and Sabath prevailed upon President Wilson to labor for the independence of Czechoslovakia. Congressman Sabath cooperated with Eduard Benes, President of the Czech Republic, in an effort to restore that independence, when Communist Russia overran and swallowed up Congressman Sabath's native country.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt frequently consulted Representative Sabath on the legislative program. The President expressed deep appreciation for the Congressman's cooperation anecomplete loyalty.

President 'Truman likewise recognized Congressman Sabath's assistance in helping along the administration's program. Mr. Sabath was especially vigorous in support of Truman's doctrine of civil rights and fair treatment for peoples of all races, regardless of religion or color.

It is not the mere lerigth of service that is the true measure of Congressman Sabath's contributions. As member of the House Immigration Committee he battled valiattly for liberal immigration policies. He never failed to point with pride to the contributions made by immigrants to the building of a strong and fine country.

As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee during the First World War, he rendered valuable service through his understanding of our European enemies.

After long years oaf service he finally rose to be the chairman of the House Rules Committee, which is regarded next to the speakership, as the most powerful position in that Chamber. He occupied this eminent position for 10 critical years, including the war years when Franklin D. Roosevelt was President. His congressional record was consistently progressive: He threw his powerful influence in favor of free collective bargaining in the support of the Wagner Labor Act; voted for the Roosevelt recovery bills, including the banking acts, National Industrial Recovery Act; the Security Exchange Act; the insurance of bank deposits; liberal laws for farm relief; price control during the war to halt inflation and protection for the purchasing power of the consumer's dollar.

• •( HAND SIGNALS

No other traffic safety regulation is more important than hand signaling and it would be hard to think of one more often ignored. Too many of those who do signal by hand do so improperly.

Many drivers think it is sufficient compliance with the law to thrust a few fingers out the window of the car.

The Texas Supreme Court has recently ruled as to the extent .71 a legal hand signal. It must be given with the whole arm in a manner visible to other motorists. It should be given long enough for an ordinarily prudent driver of another ear to see it.

Otherwise careful drivers are inclined to forget hand signaling. They lapse into noncompliance when there are no cars near enough behind their vehicle to make a signal necessary. The next step is to foget to signal when cars are close behind.

Failure to use hand signals is less dangerous than improper signaling. The careless driver who waves a languid hand in the general direction of the pavement is likely to be misunderstood.

A following motorist may think he is indicating a slowing up or if he wiggles fingers that it means he wants the other car to go ahead. Actually, the lazy signal may mean he is turning right or left or stopping.

Abotrt the most exasperating driver is the one who drives for blocks or miles with his left arm and hand out the window, shaking ashes off his cigarette and making gestures as he talks to a companion. During all of this time he signals turning, slowing and stopping; A following driver finally quits watching the gestures and then is when an accident is in the making.

Hand signals are extremely important in traffic. To be sure to use them at the proper time, the prudent driver will use them all the time. )• • Leonardo da Vinci, the painter, wrote from right to left. ) A howdah is a canopied seat upon the back of an elephant. )• •( Winters in places near the ocean are warmer than those inland. )e A dog's tongue is the only part of its body that can perspire.
