NOVIrt. OWL: NABOROVA PRACE ROTI PROUDU Wilco plouti, je p jedno lidove peislovi. Jestli je elun na vocle, kde je silny proud, vezme to dobreho veslaee, aby elun udrtel aspon v miste, aby nebyl una gen doh' po proudu. V silnej g im protidu je teeba spoleeneho fisili nekolika veslattl, aby vetg i elun jel proti proudu.

V konkurenenim proudu tivotniho pojig t'ovani je rovnet teeba spoleene prate, aby obchod nestal jen na miste, nebo aby dokonce nebyl strhovan proudem.

V nag i SPJST mohli bychom peirovnati nag e mistni organisatory k veslaffim.

Clun pates nam vgem, a Hlavni neadovPa jen docla vesla, pomoci kterYch hledime plouti proti proudu. Temi vesly jsou organisani' schtize a organisaeni kursy.

Dokud nage SPJST byla povatovana jen za poheebni spolek, a dokud elenove se sami hlasili do Jednoty z dfrvodu, "abyste nine, mile deli, meli tad pochovat", nejvatei starosti alma: a hlavnich neednikn bylo, jakYm zpfisobem investovati nage fondy, by Jednota byla na pcvnYch zakladech. Bez penetni jistoty, bez pevneho kapitalu jsou nejktasnej gi sny a 1 dealy pouhou duhou, ktera se pod mraenem skut P enosti ztrati.

Pfegli jsme gt'astne vgechny investieni ztraty. Finanene si na ge SPJST stoji dnes velice dobee. V kratkosti budou na vgechny eady rozeslany broturky. V nich bude peirovnani na geho obchodu s dvacal jinYini nejvetgimi pojigt'ujicimi spolednostmi. Po strance finaneni jsme na spravne ceste. Peestalo investovani v bondech a akciich.

Byla to snaha elent, fieednikti a take statnich zakontl, abychOm nabyli tot° penetni jistoty. Jente v tivotnim pojigt'ovani je teeba nee° vice net jen spolehlive investovani. ,Je teeba, aby spolek stale dostava Inove eleny, mlad gi krev.

Na tuto druhou podminku nejsou tadne zakony, tadnY natlak zvenku.

Dokud jaine se starali jen o to aby

nam penize neutikaly, naborova, peace stala na stejnem mist& Kdyt se na ge in-. vestice dostaly v poslednich peti, 'gesti letech na spravnou kolej, nastava nom abychom dohnali zame gkanou naborovou praci. Die meeitka pramerneho rtistu, nage SPJST mela miti po padesati letech sveho trvani padesat tisic Kdyby bylo zvY gene usili, podet nil mel bYti je'Ste vyggi. Ze jsme ye sve naborove praci kdysi peed roky ochabli, to jsme se divali smerem ,aby se nam penize neztracely, musime dnes dohaneti, co jsme za petadvacet let zamegkali.

Dnes nage reservy pane rostou. sriejSi statni prohlidky davaji pozor na nage investice. Mffteme obratiti oci k nagim organisatortim. To jsou ti duletiti pracovnici, ti veslati, kteti se staraji, aby nag velikY elun piul proti proudu. To jsou ti pracovnici, kteti zasluhujbpochvalu, potlesk a vyznamenani. A to jsou xleni, kteti by mall dostati co nejvice povzbuzeni.

Peed pati lety, na sjczdu ve Fort Worth, byl ueinen prvni krok, aby nagim organisatortIm se dostalo vet gi pozornosti. Hlavni neadovna byla zpinomocnena, by zjednala olena, kterY by se v gemi organisatory planoval a je vedl. Net by se tento zdlouhavY postup zdokonalil, byla lilavnimu peedsedovi dana povinnost, aby organisatorilm daval pokyny a rady, aby jim obstaral broturky, tiskopisy, 0betniky a jine potteby ku zvY geni agitaeni povinnosti.

Peed rokem se tento plan opravil.

Hlavni neadovna dostala, nakizeni, aby elena, pro tuto naborovou praci zjednala.

Sjezd zaroven nafidil, jake kvalifikace tento vrchni organisator musi miti. Sjezd take natidil, aby redaktor Vestniku vypoinahal v tomto planovani.

Vgech teinact Clem. Hlavni neadovny bylo postaveno peed novY fikol — najiti schopneho elena, kterY by mohl byt., vrchnim organisatorem. Spoleena povinnost, za kterou nikdo z Akinacti neni o• sobne zodpuvednY. Sjezd iekl: "Zjednej-

to nekoho, kdo ma takove a takove povinnosti". Sjezd si myslel, ae to neeekl: "Jak to poznate, to le vase vec, jen vyberte toho praveho." Tim peipadnul na nekoho z tech teinacti iikoi, aby se peiueil, aby nasbiral nekde dosti veclothosti, co vgechno se od vrchniho organisatora potaduje. Sjezd nanorueil, to vrchni organisator musi miti vysvedeeni vyggich gkol v pojigt'ovani, anebo vedomosti pojigt'ovani die vzoru National Fraternal Congress.

Je lehke udelati peedpisy pro teinact neednikti. Sjezd se neptal, zdali nekdo z tech teinacti. pro gel bud' vyggi gkolou v pojigt'ovani. nebo kursern dle vzoru Na.rodniho bratrskeho kongresu. Sjezd pouze dal smernice. A mezi temi tfinacti nebylo ani jednoho, kdo by mohl iici, to studoval kursy pojigt'ovani bud' na vyggi gkole nebo dle navoclu Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu. Bylo tetko vyhoveti peedpisilm.

Ale to se jell zdalo, ae to bylo tetke.

KatdY novY zaeatek je teak'. Po nekolika 1Joradach zavedeny byly kursy pro nage organisatory. Redaktor, jen. aby poznal, zdali kursy jsou take, podrobil se zkou g gechny otazky.-ceazodpvelismnv Peiglo to zapedetene na Hlavni neadovnu, tadnY to nesmel peedem oteveit, a bratr peedseda musel drteti strat cele etyei ho.7. diny, aby tadnY nepomahal pri zkougce.

Na zaklade techto zku genosti mute redaktor iici, to piedpisy, sjezdem zavedene, nejsou take. Vytaduje to v gak, aby nekdo gel peikladem a dokazal na gim organisatortlm, ae organisaeni kurs lze koneiti v dosti kratkem ease, ye dvou, etytech nebo gesti t'dnech, a take to zaveree,nou zkoug ku moano slotiti. Plan je praktickY, jenom je teeba venovati organisatoram vice pozornosti, dati jim vice povzbuzeni, a pak z nich vybrati vrchniho organisatora a pro katdY distrikt jednoho distriktniho organisatora. Je teeba, aby organisatoei kurs dokoncili. Nedopeacne tento neni chlebem.

Ptal jsem se bratra Hornaka, Tento darek je zhotoven ze sucheho mu- kterY je stale ve styku se studenty i s profesory. Vysvetlil mi, ze kaabi student skytoveho dreva, ze stromu vyrostlem okrese Bee, kde jsem bydlel a proZil sve dostane hrst formulalt k yypineni, mladi.

Ve stfedu, dne 22. eervence 1953.

Na dotazniku je drana,c't otazek, vztahujici se na profesora. Tyto otazky student vypini dle sveho pkani a bez podpisu. KaMY student znamkuje sveho profesora: je takovY a takovY. , myslim si, o nem to a to, a ma takove nebo °flake zvyky, libustky a vYstfednosti, zkratka libi se mi nebo je to podivnY pavouk.

Jak mi bratr Horriak oznamil, jsou oba nagi profesofi, Dr. Skrabanek a Dr. Skkivanek, mezi temi nejschopnej gimi a nejoblibenej gimi profesory na A & M koleji.

O Dru Skrabankovi byl uvefejnen vyriatek ze studentskYch novin, ze byl syYmi studenty vyznamenan. Gratulujeme take Dru. Skfivankovi k jeho schopnostem a popularite mezi studenty. Bratru Hornakovi dekuji za unozorneni a vysvetleni.

0 Rile veci, mene radostne, se chci zminiti jen povrchne, ac rad bych se o ni rozepsal mnohem obgirneji. S politovanim musim oznamiti, Ze na ge nemocenska, podpora dotrpela. Bratr Koliha oznamoval, ze pfispe yky v druhem etvrtleti, od 1. dubna do 30. eer yna, klesly daleko pod nutnY poeet, a ptal se, co se ma s NemocenskYm odborem ueiniti. Nekdy se mi zdalo, ze mezi v gemi idednimi povinnostmi byl NemocenskY odbor jako odlolene, nalezene dite, ktere trpelo podvYZivou a easto dojidalo svuj dil na zadnich schtdkach. Od. 1. eervence nemame Zadnou nemocenskou podporu. To dalgi pfijde fhedne.

Dary do Mouilkova fondu v uplynulem

Pfi schtzi opomenul jsem se pkeptati na tuto eislici. Minuleho roku bylo pkijato $233, letos za gest mesieu bylo od rtiznYch cleniz darovano $118.10. Hlavni Ukadovna se usnesla, aby rely obnos Mouekova fondu byl investovah, by neleZel ladem, ale nest nejake firoky.

Zajimava, byla debata, kterou vyvolal

reclitel Skrabanek, kdyZ se ptal, jake mame vYdaje se ziskanim noveho elena, kterY- se pojisti na $500, a jake jsou s novYm pojigtenim na $5,000, krome provisniho naroku ("komign"), kter9- dostane organisator. Nemel jsem prava piesti se do debaty, jen jsem mleky poslouehal, ale z cele desetiminutove debaty vybral jsem pouze tolik, ze eim vy ggi je certifikat, tim men gi je vydani na ziskani jednoho tisice noveho pojigteni. slovy, vyrozumel jsem z debaty, ze vystaveni noveho certifikatu na $500 stoji asi toteZ jako vystaveni noveho certifikatu na $3,000. it editel Skrabanek chtel vedeti, jake je prumerne vydani na novSr certifikat v obnosu $1,000.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LOi)GE SPJST, TEMPLE, TEXAS

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR ON MONDAY, JULY 13, THE SUpreme held its third regular meeting of 1953. It was the last meeting in the old headquarters. By the time the current issue gets in the hands of our distant members, the moving to Temple, Texas, will be completed. The families of our supreme officers have already moved.

Brother Marek and his wife moved the day after the regular meeting, and others followed the latter part of last week.

• • THE MOVING OF THE HEADQUARters brings to the mind of your editor a whole chain of recollections. Exactly twenty-nine years ago, in July, 1924, the present editor of the Vestnik was elected as a member of the Supreme Lodge.

There is, however, another member of the present offical family, who has been serving much longer than any other member. He is Brother Robert Cervenka who was placed in the official family back in 1912. He served continually until 1936, then he skipped one four-year term, came back in 1940, and again skipped two four-year terms, but was reelected in 1952. Brother Marek came in the official family in 1932, Brother Chupick in 1940, Brother Svadlenak in 1940, Brother Urbanovsky in 1942, and also Brother Koliha in 1942. * •* THE BUSINESS OF THE ORGANIZAtion had been carried on single-handedly by the late John R. Kubena in the rear of his general merchandise store up to about 1932. In the Ennis convention in 1932, Brother Marek was elected as financial secretary and the office was moved to a bank building, formerly occupied by the Fayetteville State Bank.

In 1941, the headquarters were moved to another building, erected specifically for that purpose by Brother John A. Kubena, the present director of the First District.

A few years later, the building was enlarged as requested by the Supreme Lodge. * A WHOLE CHAPTER COULD BE written about the ' headquarters in Fayetteville. In fact, almost everything touching on the subject of the Supreme Lodge SPJST would be, one' way or an-

other, connected with the city of Fayetteville. It stayed there as long as Brothre John R. Kubena was living, and it stayed there fifteen years after his passing away. It is to the honor and to the credit of the SPJST members in and around Fayetteville that they wished for the headquarters to remain there. * • ONLY A VERY BRIEF ACCOUNT IS given here as to what had happened in the meeting of the Supreme Lodge held on July 13. The full account will be given

by Brother Chupick, supreme secretary, as provided by the bylaws. Two visitors came to the meeting, Brother Jos. Hornak, president of the Publication Committee; and Dr. J. M. Skrivanek, professor of Czech and Russian at the A & M College. The nature of their visit will be given by Brother Chupick. * • LODGE POKROK HOUSTON NO. 88 sent a memorandum in which Lodge 83 petitioned the Supreme Lodge to prepare a celebration with the opening of the new headquarters in Temple. The matter was referred to a committee which is planning to have a formal opening on Saturday, and a picnic on Sunday, on two consecutive days at some appropriate time when everything is in good shape.

• • A GAVEL WAS PRESENTED TO PRESident Marek at the beginning of the meeting. To my recollection, it is the first gavel to be given to any supreme president. It was made by Brother Victor Veroda, of Skidmore, out of distinctly Texas wood, which Brother Koliha called "prosopis juliflora", growing in Bee County. We afterwards looked it up in the Webster Unabridged and found it to be a genuine' Texas wood under the more prosaic name of mesquite. The gavel was not only a pleasing piece of craftwork, but also very effective in speeding up the discussion. The meeting adjourned, in spite of many topics and problems , discussed, earlier than usual. The gavel helped in eliminating a good portion of strictly administrative matters which do not belong to the quarterly meeting, and which always had been a time-consuming problem.

THE LAST PART OF THE MEETING was used up in the discussion of the organizational work. President Marek pointed out that the Supreme Lodge must emploY a state organizer who would devote his time to organizational work.

When questioned whether or not he would have potential candidates, he admitted that it was still too early to make any prediction. He informed the members of the Supreme Lodge that there are 43 organizers who ordered the Fraternal Training Course, but that some of them have not as yet made any showing of real study. He further stated that seven of them have already completed the course, and that every one of them is showing a marked improvement in his organizational activity.

• • AS A PARTING REMARK, PRESIDENT Marek stated that it was his plan to push the production for the second half of 1953 up to one million of insurance, and that he would keep all local organizers continuously aiming toward that goal. He announced that a new round of organizers' meetings will be held in every district this coming quarter, and that an effort will be made to send two or three top men to Purdue University for the special fraternal course offered there. Brother Marek's remarks, that he would help the organizers to strive for higher production levels and to reach higher records by creating within them the desire to exceed last month's and last year's levels, were very much appreciated.

• IT MIGT BE WELL TO NAME THE leaders for the last six months. The following are the twenty top organizers, each one of them securing more than ten thousand of insurance: Bristik, Bartek, Navratil, Milan, Wagner, Klecka, Senkyrik, Hiozek, Bohacik, Marek F. J., Kasparek, Barina, Rod, Siptak, Huser, Svadlenak John, Hradecky, Holub, Skrabanek J. M., and Franek. These are in order of their production. They secured $425,000 of insurance. The remainder of organizers, ninety-nine of them, secured $275,000 of insurance. Good work!

DON'T QUIT TO SELL SERVICE One authority says that most all Objections fall into just five classifications: 1) I can't afford it.

2) I'm not interested—have all I want.

31 I can do better with my money.

4) My affairs are different.

5) I'll consider it later on.

If that is true, or even approximately true, then we can do something about answering objections before they are actually met in the interview. It is certainly possible to prepare in advance a satisfying answer to every one of the five basic situations—then we can apply the answer as needed by adapting it to the particular situation we are facing.

For instance, if we have a well selected Prospect and we feel certain he can buy, but he says he can't, then isn't it a question of driving home the importance of spending some of his money in the manner we are recommending? Perhaps we can say: "Jack—if I had the gift of prophecy if I Could tell you that you wouldn't come home for dinner next Tuesday night and that you'd never come home again---would you find the money? Jack, this matter is so vital that you can't afford to take chances. Marshall Field said: 'The only time we dare to take chances is when we can afford to take them.' Can you afford to take chances with Mrs. Prospect and the children?

Why don't we go ahead with this on the monthly basis if the semi-annual premitun seems too big now?."

Let's take No. 2—the "not interested"' objection often tossed at us before we've started our interview. Our problem is to win the right to tell him our story and we may have to get in ,step with him before he will accord us. that opportu nity. We might say!

"Mr. Prospect, if you have all the insurance you need, I surely want to congratulate you. May I ask you one question?"

Another thing we can do is to capitalise on what the modern costs of living nave done to life insurance programs.

Atter he tells us about all the fine policies he owns, we might suggest something along this line: "Mr. Prospect, let's see how your plans would work out under today's conditions. . ." Ask him the questions you'd customarily ask to set up a program. Then you can measure the life insurance he owns against the job it Will have to do for his family.

The No. 3 objection is: "I can do better with my own money."

"You may be right, Mr. Prospect. You might do better with your money if you laid it aside regularly, were lucky and had no losses— we're talking now about your widow's money."

Or: "Mr. Prospect, if you can guarantee that you will be alive 20 years from now, you might possibly do better with your money. But if you agree that there is even a reMote possibilty that you may die in that time, then there is no other way for you to provide so much money for Mrs. Prospect."

No. 4 says: "My affairs are different."

Actually, if you can find out in what manner your prospect's affairs are a bit different from average, you have a great sales advantage. He appreciates then that you have a keen understanding of his problem. Suppose he's junior executive buying stock in his firm: "I realize, Jack, that you have the problem of buying into the business just now, and that's why I'm recommending this special form of policy. ."

Or, "Dr. Smith, your financial affairs are entirely different from those of the typical business man. He's got Social Security for his family, Group Insurance and probably a retirement plan paid for by the firm, but in your case, it is different."

If we give personal thought and study ta teach prospect as an individual, we will find that his affairs actually are different. As salesmen, we discern these differences and often it is our sincere and actual approach to his problem that is the secret of our closing success.

Finally, we have the prospect who wants to shop around, or who can't do it at this time, cr who gives the put-off answer of the typical procrastinator.

Our problem is to stress urgency of acting now. One way of doing this: "Jack, I like to see my friends get full value for their money. If you wait until next year, or the year after, you are paying for, protection you will not receive. Moreover, you will get less actual cash for yourself out of the deposits you make in this plan. Let me show you how it works out. . ."

These are only a few examples. We ave a wide range of choices in making up our minds as to what we are going to say "when the prospect says". For instance, we can meet certain objections head on, and once in a while this is the best of all methods—if we are really sure of our ground. For instance: The prospect says, "I can't afford it."

You: "Bill, I know that you can afford it if you want it. (Smile) Otherwise, I would never have called on you.

You have a good job, a fine home, a well-dressed family—of course you can afford it!"

Then there 'is the diplomatic "Yes— but" method of replying. You disarm him by disagreeing with his attitude or prejudice, but you move quickly back to the offensive.

"Sure—Jack—I can see why you'd like to delay this investment for a while, but in what way will that change the situation? Suppose I shut my eyes for 10 seconds—and now I open them and we'll pretend the three months have gone by.

I am now back to see you. What's different? Your problems are the same as always. There is never a good time to buy life insurance; there is only a right time."

Then, there is what is called the "boomerang method," whereby you turn the prospect's own objection into a positive reason for buying. For instance, he says: "Living expenses are too high. I don't have any surplus income left."

You: "That's exactly why I am recommending this plan. It is low cost and provides a maximum protection when your family would need it most."

Finally, we should not forget that the best treatment for certain objections is to simply ignore them. Many objections are just conversation. If you get too conscientious about answering 'everything, yOu get lost in the bypaths. Listen — but then go on and follow your regular sales track and control the interview.

You'll "come to the point later" and, when you do, it may not appear as an objection at all, but as one of the great inducements for buying the plan now. ) • 4•( TIME ON HEW HANDS

A bride was showing her uncle her new home.

"This is my room, Uncle," she announced. "We have twin beds because they are much more hygienic. That one's Ben's and this one's mine."

Then the uncle noticed a little blue clock on a shelf.

"What a charming little clock," he said.

"Yes," said the girt "It's a wedding present from Aunt Anne."

A few days later the uncle received a letter from the girl telling how the clock had disappeared the very afternoon he was there and she wondered if he could throw any light on the sub, ject.

Replied the uncle: "Look in Ben's bed."

FOR LOVE OF LIBERTY (Continued) While most of the crusaders had iron helmets, coats of mail, durable armour and excellent weapons, the Hussites were handicapped. However, courage made up for what they lacked. One out of about twenty was fortunate enough to boast of a breast plate. The weapons of the Hussites were crude, since most of them were farmers. They had farm implements to .defend themselves with—flails with iron studs, axes with long, handles, battle- hammers, pikes, spears, swords.

Some had cross-bows and later on Ziska added his battering reams to the artillery. Having only these farm tools as weapons, the Bohemians were not necessarily a hopeless and dissipated or undisciplined lot. Being accustomed to their implements, they possessed unusual skill in handling them, 'so, much so, that the iron men of Sigismund had great respect for them ere long. Later, when victory followed victory and the Hussites had opportunity of. selecting arms from the fields of battle according to taste, many equipped themselves more P roper -ly,buthekp irflas!

III "From the tents, The Armourers accomplishing the knights, With busy hammers closing rivets up, Give dreadful note of preparation."

—Shakespeare, Henry V. Behind the nussites who streamed inunending groups into Praha and to Tabor, rumbled heavy farm wagons which Zizka utilized With success in all their later conflicts. The sicics of the wagons were effectively reinforced with sheets of iron and triple planks. When sur rounded on a hill, Zizka ilmould send several wagons (sometimes loaded with stones) down the slope, with devastating resUlts. H. attacking, the wagons thrilled a spearhead; if attacked by a superior force, they were drawn together into a circle formation, and were a practically impregnable' fort.

Behind the wagons an occasional small cannon would rattle thru the wide gates of the two Hussite strongholds. At the head of each group rode a captain with a long sword swinging from his side. On hiS ' right rode a priest, dressed after the fashion of the warriors, but without weapons of any kind. The blacksmith shops thruout Praha were busy. The anvils were hot and the hammers a dull red from unceasing use. Bellows fanned fires that never died. The blacksmith shops were distinguishable at a glance

LETTERS St. Louis, Mo. Dear Brother Editor: Do you suppose any of our readers would be interested in hearing from_a member way out here in St. Louis? I must, confess that it has been a long time since I wrote to the Vestnik. In fact, I haven't written anything since I married and moved to St. Luis. I wonder if anyone would be interested in knowing how we live in this big city.

Of course, there is the famous St. Louis Zoo which is in Forest Park. Now, I bet you can find more animals in that Zoo then in any other place in the world. At least in that much space. We have monkeys in all shapes and forms, including some of the lookers. At least, I feel like a monkey when I watch them go through all their antics for the benefit of all the onlookers. We also have a Chimpanzee Show which is quite a show and those chimps are quite intelligent as they go through all their acts.

From riding horses to tiding bicycles, they are an act to be enjoyed ling after you have seen them.

Then we have the Summer Opera suppassed to be the largest outdoor stage show in this country. This is out under the stars; and when the nights are hot, you can find the people of St. Louis at the Opera unless it decides to rain which isn't very often during the summer months.

Our summers are something to behold.

They are almost as hot as your Texas summers. Of course, OUT humidity is out of this world. I don't know any other place where you can hardly breathe, where the air is so heavy and the sweat sticks to your clothes like glue. Somehow, we manage to survive the heat and ;the humidity and look forward to those cold January days.

There are the St. Louis Cardinals. The best team in the National League as far as I am. Strange as it may seem, I have become a. baseball fan considering the fact that I didn't know beans about the game when I first arrived in St. Louis. But being married to a sport fan and a baseball fan, I soon learned, and believe me, I'm all for the Redbrids as we call them over here. When it comes to boasting about the home team, my three youngsters are not far behind me.

We also have the Browns. A nice team even when they are losing, There isn't anything wrong with them that a few good hitters couldn't make right.

They are my team too. Being a Texan, I believe in rooting for the home team.

Now, to get back to the subject I wanted to write about. I often wonder

T,

why nobody from Rowena Lodge 49 doesn't write to the paper. I did see a nice write-up from Mr. Melton Holubec in the paper and enjoyed it very much. As I know the young man since way back, I wish to congratulate him on his fine work.

This is about the finish. I doubt that anyone will be interested in the above, but if they should, I might decide to write in again. So until then good luck to all of you who are concerned with putting out our good paper. It has really improved throughout the years and the best of luck to the future and our Youth Movement.

Sincerely, Mrs. Bessie Lapinski (the former Bessie Bubenik) )• • S. P. J. S. T .LODGE NO. 54

Dear Brothers and Sisters: We had an interesting meeting Sunday July 12. I enjoyed it very much. I was surprised we didn't have a large attendance, but I guess everyone was tired from July 4 picnic.

The discussion was all about the picnic.

First, I must say we all asked and talked about our dear Sister Mary Klaus.

She was sick, but her husband said that she was going to Waco Hispital for an X-ray, that she was up and around, doing pretty good. And then Monday some one told me that she died. So we lost a loyal Sister. My sincere sympathy is with the Klaus family.

We discussed the Third District meeting that will be held in Sokol Hall, July 26, Forth Worth, Texas This time we didn't , vote on any one. Bro. Robert Cervenka asked for volunteers to go, he asked all members of Lodge No. 54 to go. The volunteer delegates are Bro. Robert Cervenka, Geo Kacir, Emil W. Popp, Adolph Janecka, Rudolph Barton, Emmett Barton, Sister Lillian Fickel and Sister Julie Holacka. So come on, members of Lodge No. 54, iet see how many of us can go. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves very much at our last District meeting that was held in Dallas. So hope to 'see many of our Brothers and Sisters in Ft. Worth, July 36th.

trana•1Q I wish to thank all you kind Folks. This makes me feel very good and I am sure it made Sister Christine Milberger and Sister Frances Popp feel very good, because they work so hard with the program.

Well, this is all for this time till we meet again.

DELAY TOOTH DECAY! Not only are our teeth important as an ingenious grinding machine for the body, but also their natural uses are important in the development of a normallooking face, a background for a beautiful smile; important in eating, speaking and breathing. A healthy person has thirty-two permanent teeth, sixteen in the upper jaw and sixteen in the lower.

The more and the harder the teeth are used, the better they are. They are made of the hardest form of tissue in the body and the only kind that cannot repair itself. Years after death when the rest of the anatomy has turned to dust, the teeth still remain intact. Yet in the living body these powerful structures are virtually at the mercy of the process of decay.

There are two major theories as to the cause of decay. The most widely accepted theory is that advanced by Dr. W. D. Miller of Philadelphia, Pennylvania, who stated that carbohydrate foods (sugars, starches) produce an acid in the mouth. This acid attacks tooth enamel, slowly destroy big it. The ahoy theory is that bacteria make their way through microscopic tooth fissures, attack the dentine under the enamel, and in this way cause decay.

Anoth'r recent' discover[ was that made by Dr. William W. Wainwright, head of the department of radiology at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry. His experiments show the tooth to be porous, capable of absorbing substances, including vitamins, quickly and tliouroughly, like a sponge. These findings arc of major importance to the dental profession, because the extent to which these tiny perforations are sealed and what seals them has much to do ith the incidence of tooth decay.

Tooth decay has been attributed to almost everything. Some attribute decay to poor diet, yet the poorest-fed people have some of the best teeth. Cavities are scarce in Mexico and India, in coinparison with America. American prisoners held in German and Japanese camps lived on a semistarvation diet, yet suffered almost no tooth decay. Soft foods have been blamed for decay. However, Polynesians live almost altogether on soft foods and have excellent teeth. Improper or no care for teeth has been blamed. Still Samoans and Eskimos who xiever saw a toothbrush or mouthwash, have the best teeth in the world. Some have blamed heredity, others ,climate and sunshine. But none of these charges hold up under present dental knowledge.

Dr. Neumann, a Columbia University researcher, stated that he finds a big hid-

den cavity in every current theory and about 40 per cent effective in reducpractice. ing decay among children. Many of the America has the higheSt standards of substances, fluorine, penicillin, and poliving in the world and the highest per tassium ferrocyanide, for instance, are capita income and her "teeth are among actually poisonous if taken in too large the earth's worst."

WORN-OUT WONDER DRUGS (By J. DeWitt Fox, M. D.) It's no secret that the American people have gone overboard on taking too many wonder drugs. We have been so enraptured with the miracles of modern medicine that we are a little' starry-eyed and sometime overlook the sad side of the wonder drugs.

Before you head to the doctor's office for a new wonder drug to fight a minor illness such as the common cold—which incidentally, they really can't 'ciire, wonderful as they are—ponder these facts: Penicillin is losing its punch. Why? Because we are using it too much. Only twenty-five percent of the boils and carbuncles turning up at the Boston City Hospital are any longer sensitive to penicillin. But, fortunately, penicillin still hits pneumonia, sore throats, and gonorrhea.

The reason penicillin, hailed the miracle drug of the century a scant 6 years ago, has fallen from its pedestal is that we have used it too much and too often for minor ills instead of saving it for major illness, for which it was intended.

In 1945 we used 7,000 billion units of penicillin; last year, 220,000billion unitsthirty times as much. These figures show how promiscuously we have been taking it in tablet, lozenge, troche, and shots into our buttocks. In 1945, one out of every three Americans received' a shot .cf penicillin.

But not only have the bacteria become resistant to wonder drugs, people have become allergic to them. Many times after a casual shot of penicillin a few capsules of aureomycin, terramycin, or chloromycetin there are unpleasant aftereffects that are far worse than the disease.

Millions of Americans'-who take these high-powered drugs simply to stop the sniffle's are flirting with trouble, for all these antibiotics. are derived from molds.

And many people are as easily sensitized to the molds as they are to regular dust and pollens.

Usually your first dose or two will not bring out symptoms. But it does cause your body to make antibodies to clash with the wonder drug at the time of the next contact. Then if you take the drug at some later date, you may have an allergic rash with intense itching, hay fever, asthma, or huge hives. Literally millions of patients are sensitizing themselves in this way by taking wonder drugs unnecessarily. Later, when they may really need the drug to combat a serious illness, they will react allergically to it.

And these reactions are not so rare as you might 'imagine. Nearly eighteen percent of patients taking antibotics, mainly penicillin, in lozenge or troche,develop sore mouths. Although only 3.5 percent of persons reacted to penicillin when it first came out, some physicians now report reactions in as many as 30 percent of their patients. And thirtythree different unpleasant reactions to antibiotics have been reported. Tragically some of these reactions are more or less permanent. For chloromycetin, a specific for thyphoid fever, when taken recklessly in large doses has been shown to cause a serious type of aplastic enemia and has accounted for the death of 72 persons.

The poWerless punch of penicillin is threatening to set it down in history as just another example of a worn - out wonder drug. Time was when the sulfa drugs, toxic at first but later reduced in toxicity, were all the rage on the doctor's prescription pad. But it took the sulfa drugs only five years to lose their effectiveness and for bacteria to outsmart them. Today sulfa is still prescribed, but many bacteria are known to be resistant to it.

However, doctors are not relegating wonder drugs to the scrap heap. Rather, they are pleading with the public not to take them promiscuously, so that they will retain their power longer. Your physician is the one best qualified to treat your illness. If you have a virus infection, he may choose to put you to bed and , drown the bug with lots of fluids, warmth, and rest. If penicillin .cr another 'antibiotic is needed to avoid complications, he will give it. But don't force his hand; he knows best.

YOU must always remember that when you take a drug you are taking a cal,culated risk. Always to be considered is this: Can the drug knock out the disease? Will the drug reaction be worse than the disease?

Remember, too, your own bodily resistance is worth more than all the wonders in .the drugstore. For without your own white blood cells and antibodies; the wonder drugs are powerless in truly curing disease. Antibiotics only hold bacteria in abeyance until your own bodily defenses can be mustered to give the knockout blow.

Don't take expensive, worn-out wonder drugs for common ailments that your own body can cope with. Reserve the wonder drugs for the major illness, when "dynamite" is needed to "blow

(Continued from page 20.) cessfully counterattacks and renders it ineffective. In those using little or no artificial sugar, God's remedy for keeping the teeth strong and healthy suffices, but for those who indulge in large quantities of sweets, the natural supply of saliva is tfar too inadequate to counteract the acidity created. Therefore, a glass of water will help neutral-. ize the acids and an early brushing after meals will clear away the acidforming foods. Brushing will also help the gums, and if a ripe apple is nearby, chew on it and it will do about as good a job of cleaning as can be done.

Dr. F. D. Miller, D.D.S., expert on nutrition, stated: "Our pastries, our candies, our soft drinks and our whiteflour products in general, are the means by which fillings and inlays, porcelain work, gold bridges and dentures find their way, year by year, into American mouths. We dentists take pride in all the delicate restoratives and replacement work of which American dentistry is capable, but 90 per cent Of that work would be unnecessary if presumably intelligent men, women and children did not acquire the destructive eating habits which break down their bodies and, as a result, their teeth."

If we find within ourselves an inability to resist "sweets", then cultivating that same overpowering urge for the toothbrush and a glass of water after meals will perhaps help counteract most of our tooth troubles. )• • BROTHERS and SISTERS, we want you to have your Vestnik.

Meantime, it's cheaper and a lot more fun to keep your body in tip-top health, so that you won't need any miracles performed for you. But when you do, rely on your doctor's judgment — h e knows best!

Neni divu, ze jsem se rohodla jeti take z nakho horkeho a sucheho Texasu a zavitat do vlhkeho a ChladnejSiho Chidaga. Odjela jsem tedy v sobotu 13. eeryna ze San Antonio, Texas, Pulmanem — mela jsem pohodlne kupe se vim pohodlint Mimo jine, zatouZila jsem videt po mnoha letech sveho bra trance FrantiSka Klapku, kterY bydli se svou manZelkou Matenkou v tichem pfedinesti Chicago.
