NEJLEPSt KUPNI EPAMATUJI SI jmeno onoho Ameridana, kterY to kekl, ale pamatuji si jeho slova: "Certifikat elena, kterY se necha pojistiti u bratrskeho podpilrneho spolku, je ta nejeltiikladnejk kupni smlouva, kterou a2 dosud rozum lidskY mohl sestaviti. Celt' zaklad a celY obsah smlouvy na livotni pojiAteni je vernost. soucit, laska a proziravost."

Kdyl asi pied patn'acti lety pozmenili jsme nale Olenske certifikaty a upravili jsme je v, eeskem i anglickem zneni, namital jeden elen, ze ony stare certifikaty, tiebas byly tak velike, ze jednim certifikatem•mohl bYti pfikryt malt' still, byly lepsi, protok obsah certifikatu byl docela kratkY. Abych onoho elena uspokojil, piedlozii jsem pied onoho elena novS7 certifikat a ptal • jsem ho, aby naznaeil, kterou vetu, kterou klaustrli, nebo, kterY odstavec by radii, aby se z noveho certifikatu vynechaly. eetli jsme spOlu I/61u za vetou, odstavec za odstavccm, od zadatku do koncc.

Koneane pronesl, "Ono je to vkchno pekne vysvetleno, jak jsem chranenY, kolik moje rodina dostane, kdy bych zemnebo kolik dostanu, kdy bych sam potfeboval penize, a je to vkchno pro moje vlastni dobro. Ale ja jsem jen my, slel, .2e by stall°, kdy by tam stab°, le main pojilteni a le rodina je opraNnena, na pet set nebo tisic. Nu, ale kdy to mate tak sestavene vkchno v mUj prospech, tak asi ze nemusim nic namitati. Je to all right." elenskY certifikat je smlouva, mezi jednim elenem a vSemi ostatnimi eleny, smlouva, mezi jedincem a celkem, smlouva mezi elenem a Jednotou. Led je to jednostranna smlouva, kde jsou vAechny vST -hodynastrejdincahordiny.

Smlouva ma jeden hlavni cil: aby Glen mohl uskuteeniti svfij plan za kald§ch okolnosti, aby jemu byly poskytnuty v ge-

SMLOUVA

chny vYhody, prava a vYsady olenske a aby jeho rodina dostala pomoc a finandni posilu v dobe, kdy toho nejvice je t•eba. elenskY certifikat je kupni smlouva na urditY majetek. Je opravdu Skoda, ae mnozi elenove nenaudili se dosud povalovati certifikat za -smlouvu k ziskani majetku pro sebe nebo svou rodinu t Je to ta nejdilkladnejk a nejlepSi kupni smlouva.

Kalda, majetkova, transakce ma tii kroky: koupime majetek; drlime majetek; a prodame majetek. Totel plati o kvotnim pojikeni. Dukazem toho je kupni smlouva, kterou obydejne jmenujeme certifikatem.

Kdyl podepisujeme kupni smlouvu ve spolku, kterato smlouve fikame certifikat, /name ureite vYhody, jakYch ne'name pii koupi kadeho jineho majetku.

Je aobre znati tyto vYhody.

Pkedne, kupujeme tisicovY nebo desetitisicovY certifikat na splatky. Nikdy nemusime se dohadovati a usilovati se nizsi cenu.

Za druhe, nikdy se nepoladuje Polovina, potina nebo desetina kupni cony. Obyeejne prvni splatka je nekdy pouhY zlomek jednoho procenta kupni ceny. OvSem pfilli jsme na to, le je vYhodne zesiliti slabou van a vrtkakavost kolisavYch tim, le poladujeme tfimesieni poplatek od novYch elenu.

Za tfeti, mesieni splatky pii kupovani tohoto druhu majetku jsou jen tii nebo etyfi procenta rodne. Ovkm stark elovek, kterY opomenul si zakoupiti tento majetek, pokud ceny pro nej byly ni2k, musi platiti vyki procento.

Za etvrte, nepodita se ladnY urok, ani zadny vedlejk poplatek na east majetku, ktera jegte neni vyplacena. Muj otec koupil kdysi farmu, splatil ticetinu hotoye, a na nevyplacene dve tietiny platil 8% Uroku. Na svilj elenskY certifikat

til merle nel 3% men& Kdyl zemfel, certifikat jeho byl vyplacen asi do dvou tietin. A zemfel ye staff 86 beta Za pâté, dayame svYm elentim dosti Casu na vyrovnani jejich splatek. Nekdy jim' eekame tri mesice, /lady i dele, ani bychom jim co pfirakli. Ve stanovach stoii, le kdy Glen opomene zaplatiti svou mesidni splatku do 30 dnfl, le jeho kupni smlouva pozbYva, platnosti.. Ale hned v nasledujici .vete se upozornuje na dalk vYhodu, ae elen si to mit'21rozmysleti do tii mesick jestli svou rodinu nebo sebe chce pfipraviti o deset tisic majetku.

Avkm, Glen majici smlouvu jen na $500 neciti mnoho zodpovednosti a obydejne si mysli: mam viset za jednu nohu, at' visim za obe.

Za Seste, kupni smlouva mule bYti upravena prakticky die pfani kupujiciho na libovolnY obnos, kterY u nak SPJST nepfesahuje nyni closet tisic. Rovnel splatky jsou upraveny die pfani, bud' rodni, etvrtletni, kaide dva mesice nebo jednou za mesic. t Ana jina, koupe majetku nemii2e bYti uzaviena za pfiznivejkch podminek. Nikde jinde neni mono koupiti majetek za deset tisic na mime splatky $12 mesidne nebo za $137.70 rade.

PH kupovani toho druhu majetku jsou jegte dark vYhody, ktere kupec nenajde jine koupi.

Hlavni firadovita rosesila kaideho mesice vg em einnYm organisatoram zpravu, die nig je kagdY organisator mformovan, jak si stoji v pomeru k jinYm organisatoram. Je to osvedeenST prostredek ku povzbuzeni. Kdy g je organisator upozornen zadatkem ka gdeho mesice o postupu sve agitaeni prace, a kdy zaroven pozna, jak druzi organisatori pracuji, je takova zprava pobidnutim k dalAi a vetSi. vykonnosti.

Mezi nejlepg imi organisatory byli zaeatkern srpna bratri 131.1§tik, Bartek, Navratil a sestra Milanova. Tito organisatold ziskali letos nad $40,000 noveho pojigteni ka gdY. Mezi $20,000 a $30,000 pojiSteni ziskali organisatori Wagner, 8enlcSirik, Kleeka, F. J. Marek. Mezi $15,000 a $20,000 jsou nasledujici: Hlo gek, Kagpar kova, Bohaeikova, Morris, Organisatori, kteri ziskali letos mezi $10,000 a $15,000 noveho poji gteni jsou: Barina, Siptak, J. M. 8krabanek, John Svadienak, Huser, Rod, Franek, Havlikova., Muniza, Hradecka, Kadleekova a Holub. Od $5,000 do $10,000 noveho pojigteni ziskali tito organisatori: Krause, Rudy Ivieie, PodanY, Socha, Hagkovec, Slovak, Vrla, Fusigova, Blanarova, 8rubaf, Geritch, Jos Holasek a Emil Hejl.

Die Zpravy z Hlavni fifadovny ziskali sme do 1. srpna 1953 pies 700 novYch Clentt a pies $800,000 noveho pojigteni.

Dye tretiny techto novYch Menu bylo ziskano do tidy dospelYch a jedna tretina do Detskeho oddeleni. Pramerne staid noye ziskanYch dospelYch elent je 28 roku.

Jsou tedy novi elenove pomerne mladpribligne v tom vela, kdy jednotlivec za.eind cititi svou vlastni zodpovednost.

Redaktor dostal od jednoho elena do.. pis, ge v zapiscich o schazi Hlavni aradovny neni gadna zminka o tom, ge by arednici a reditele meli debatu nebo diskusi o najmuti statniho organisatora ZminenY bratr chce, abych mu osobne odpovedel, jestli se o statnim organisatoru uvag ovalo nebo co se v torn sineru planuje. V poslednich dvou mesicich byl redaktor nekolikrate tazan, jak to bude se statnim organisatorem. Take v minulem eisle byla pozndmka jecine dopisovatelky, ge se stale tegi na to, kdy bratii arednici oznami, ge statni organisator byl uz zjednan. Abych u getril sam sobs osobni korespondenci, a take abych snad uspokojil nektere jine eleny, musirn vysvetliti, ze o statnim organisatoru bylo rokovano, kdy g se probirala zprava o naborove praci a o schtzich organisatorskYch. Bezpochyby dojde k nejakemu ureitemu rozhodnut v pri gti schtzi. Jak bratr Marek vysvetloval, ge neni mogpo

lfc sti?,•iiri, tine 26. apria 19t-)3. .3 v vgem tern podminkam, ktertt; sjezd' urell pro statniho organisatorn, ale ge pracuje na torn, aby v kratkosti mohli reditele a arednici nekoho kvalifikovaneho vybrati z na gich vlastnich dobrYch organisatora. Bratr Marek oznainoval, ge mame ji g sedm organisatoril, kteii dokoneili zakladni kurs pro- vS.4;vik organisatora v prodeji bratrskeho poji g -teni.PrdsaMkzjteI-1i, aby na ge SPJST organisatora co nejdriye mela. Bylo by to velikou vYliodou, kdyby statni organisator byl giskan hned koncem jara nebo zaeatkem leta, aby cela naborova kampan dostala rychlejgi tempo v druhe polovici roku, kdy mezi lidem na , venkove se snadneji pracuje. 0sobne jse m toho nalaleclu, ge otazka statniho organisatora bude jednim z hlavnich bodu v priSti schfizi Hlavni aradovny.

JilVm dfileiitS,m fikolem 1-11aivni nicadovny bude, aby byli giskani n‘kictefi naSi organisatoi, by po ukoneeni zakladniho kursu slo gili zavereenou zkougku hledeli dosahnouti diplomu a titulu "Fraternal Insurance Counselor". Ka g da jinn bratrska. organisace sna gi se, aby organisatori se stale poneovali, aby nestali na. jednom bodu, aby•aspori nekteri inn paclobnY diplom. Jsou bratrske organisace, kde najdeme od 20 a g do 150 diplomovanYch organisatorfi. My potrebujeme asnon jednoho, kterY by prev gal ukol statniho organisatora. Z deseti nebo ze dvaceti diplomovan3"rch organisatora by se Hlavni aradovne lep gi vybiralo. Toto je velmi ciale gity akol pro celou Hlavni aradovnu, aby soustavne povzbuzovani a poueovani nagich organisatora bylo stale na mysli, stale zesilovano. Olovek je ge nektere veci odklada a omlouva se, ge jine veci jsou dale giterSi. Organisator je take lidskYm tvorern s podobnou nachylnosti. Dokud nemame statniho organisatora, kterY by dodaval donnacim organisatoram chuti a odvahy, kterY by jim ukazoval cestu k aspechu, musi takovou praci konati Hlavni aradovna. A Hlavni aradovna nekdy sauna potrebuje aby ji nekdo . cbeas prines1 trochu nacl geni. trochu zaniceni a horovani. Hlavni aradovna sama potrebuje, aby nekterY arednik nebo reditel byl diplomovanYm organisatorem.

Ten, kterY se houZevnate drZi nektere to zastarale nauky, za eas shleda, ze zustal pozadu, osamocen. Tak i my v torn nagem snaZeni vkly musime pokraeovati s duchem easu. A vetite-li tomu, ze co bylo dobre pro nas star gi, musi staeiti i to nagi tak se geredne mYlite i zustanete, vette mi, pozadu, osamoceni.

Proe toto pi gi? 1nu proto, ze v distriktu chceme nem) noveho zkusiti, neco co nekterYrn neptijde "pod vousy". My se sice vgude chvalime, ze chceme to na gi mladeZ qiiipoutati" k nagi pra,ci, ale jakmile mame ji u es initi nejakY fistupek, treba by ten i k dobru jen smetoval, tined se poeneme hnevati, Mame "oposici". -Sku tek utek!

Nag distrikt snail se dociliti, abychom zmenili smer nageho zastaraleho jednani v te pevne vite, ze nam to jen prospeti i ze je na zmenu s yrchovanY eas.

Cele desitileti jsme jen tak "podtimovali", zlobime se.

Slygel jsem, ze kdo pry nam dal pravo navgtevovati z distriktri schilze kadil jinY•ch, volati k praci, k pravidelnemu navgtevoyani schtizi, k organisovani nove ho postupu? 1nu, radi bychom slygeli, kde nam pokrok ten mute u gkoditi? Nage, nove distrikty zaloleny byly k tomu, abychow v uiiim krouzku pestovali castejsi styky a pomahali tam, kde nee° vazne, tak abychom yg ude stejnomerne pracovali i oZivili einnost tadovou. Co v torn kdo vidi zavadneho? Jsme si toho vedo mi., ze u nas kaZda, nova Yee teZko se probiji, avgak meli bychom bYti alespon tolik sprayedlivi, ze kdyZ neeemu noyemu nechceme z dobre yule v poeatcich pomoci, tak bychom se uvarovati men do novot "kopati". Je jednani takove nepekne, nebratrske.

Chci se zde ornluviti na gim organisatortin, ze nebylo ptilelitosti je jednotlive ye Fort Worth ye schtizi ptedstaviti.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THERE IS A BLANK SPACE IN MY knowledge relative to the affairs of the SPJST between 1945 and 1948. I was snowed under with my work at the University of Houston. I didn't read newspapers, didn't read magazines, didn't read even the Vestnik. All I read in those three years were textbooks, reference books, plenty of books, plenty of lessons, lectures, and study material. I didn't go to meetings. I didn't talk, didn't think, didn't live except within the circle of my studies. Consequently, I don't know what part, if any, the SPJST played as a member of the National IT HAS ALREADY BEEN EXPLAINED Fraternal Congress up to 1918. to the readers of the Vestnik that the BUT YOU CANNOT GET MORE OUT National Fraternal Congress is a voluntary association of the fraternal benefit of anything except what you put into it. societies of America, numbering more You cannot get something for nothing than one hundred fraternities, united even in the fraternal circles.

••

IT MAY INTEREST OUR MEMBERS to read what the editor of tilt Fraternal Age had to say on the samg ltopic. "The question of distance has been raised by some with` regard to going to Dallas, Texas, this year. But the Texans paid their way to Boston last year, and they have a right to expect a visit in return.

A Texan, Judge Tom L. McCullough, took the Congress convention to Montreal, Canada, the year he was president of the National Fraternal Congress.

Those from Texas wit attended that year did not quibble about distance.

They are used to distances."

HERE IS MORE FROM THE PEN OF the same editor: "Going to Dallas, Texas, to attend the 67th session of the National fraternal Congress ought to be a pleasant experience. Texas is a fraternal State, and the people are genuine freternalists. They will provide fine hospitality. They love the Lone Star State, and they want their friends to see it and learn to love it also. The fraternalists of Texas have that fine social instinct which causes them to make their guests feel that the guest is the most important person in the world. They are genuine and sincere. And they expect the proffered hospitality to be accepted. I have attended the Texas Fraternal Congress a number of times and have partaken of this hospitality. I also learned not to decline. One time, in San Antonio, the hosts arranged an auto trip to show the delegates a big lot of scenery around that part or the State. When I told the chairman of the committee arranging the trip that I couldn't go, he just could not • understand it..In the afternoon, while the whole convention was riding around, I got up enough energy to walk two blocks to the Alamo.

There, all alone, I took off my hat and thought of those doughty defenders who, to the last man, gave their lives in defense of Texas liberty. In those thoughts, I caught some glimpse of the spirit and humanity of Texans."

It is, therefore, advisable, when possible, for students to take up a language during their undergraduate studies and thereby have the use of it when they begin advanced work in the various fields.

The primary purpose of teaching Czech and Russian at the present time is to perform a national service by training Americans for careers in Foreign Service, international affairs, export trade, international law, teaching, interpreting and many other fields.

We enjoyed meeting and visiting with San Antonio Lodge members and also with Brothers and Sisters from other lodges. We hope to see as many of the Brothers and Sisters as possible at the district 7 meeting at Hobson, October 18.

Fraternally yours, Mary Veroda, secretary Lodge No. 26 ) o SISTER ANNA ZIDEK PASSED AWAY Rozkvet Zapadu. Lodge N o. 107, in Floresville, lost 'a good member, Sister Anna Zidek. The sad news was reported

by Brother Tom Novak for the Czech section, who also sent a clipping from the Floresville local paper to be printed in the English section cf Vestnik. It' reads: Mrs. Anna Zidek Rites Here Last Thursday Largely Attended Funeral services for Mrs. Anna Zidek, who died at the Floresville Hospital, Tuesday, August 4, 1953, at 6:30 p. m„i were held at the Murray Funeral Home in this city at 10:00 a. m. Thursday with the final rites being conducted by members of the SPJST Lodge of which deceased had been a long-time membet Burial'followed in the Floresville Cemetery and a large concourse of friends and relatives were in attendance.

Honorary pallbearers were all living charter members of the SPJST Lodge No. 107 of Floresville.

Active pallbearers were: Victor Jaksik, Alvin Zidek, George Zidek, Milton Vincek, Lon Spann, and Charlie Zidek.

Mrs. Zidek hade been in failing health for some time, but her condition grew worse about five weeks prior to her death and she passed away at the Floresville Hospital. All that loved ones and

V2STN

kind friends could do for her was done in her last illness but to no avail. At the time of death she was 78 years and 22 days of age.

Mrs. Anna Christine Zidek was born July 8, 1875 in Netolice, Bohemia, now CzechOsloyakia, the daughter of Jacob and Marie Vincek. Her parents brought her to this country at the age of 7.

She attended school at Praha, Texas, as a child.

On August 5, 1895, she was married to Frank E. 4 r idek at Moulton. Texas.

They moved to Wilson cbunty in 1898 and lived on their farrn in the Waldheim community for many years where they raised a splendid family of sons and daughters. In 1925 they moved to San Antonio to live, Mr. Zidek,passing away there on November 3, 1947.

Deceasea was a charter member of Vehmir SPJST Lodge No. 61 at Poth, later transferred to Floresville Lodge No. 107.

At the chapel funeral service, Edward L. Marek, President of the Supreme Lodge SPJST, paid high tribute to her as a devoted wife and mother, a kind and loyal friend to everyone.

Miss Geyaldine Lane sang ."Beautiful Isle of Somewhere' and "The Last Mile of the Way." Mrs. William Smith was the piano accompanist. Several favorite hyms were sung by the lodge members.

Mrs. Zidek's death is being widely mourned by a host of friends, for she was a good and true wife and mother and always kind and helpful to her friends and neighbors. The devotion and the guidance in building the character of her children were traits of character all admired as were stated by the Supreme Lodge speaker, Edward L. Marek, who paid her a beautiful tribute.

Our heartfelt sympathy is extended the bereaved ones in their great sorrow.

Surviving. are: three daughters, Mrs. J. P. Jaksik of Loire; Mrs. J. H. Smith of San Antonio; Mrs. W. A. Cobb of Black Hill; one son, Ed Zidek of Black Hill; one sister, Mrs. Adolph Miculka of Floresville; eight grandchildren; one adopted grandson; and one great-grandchild also survive. )• 4•C SEVENTH DISTRICT SPJST

Sisters and brothers: The program committee of - the 7th SPJST district met in San Antonio Aug: 16, to make plans for the district meeting scheduled to be held in Hobson, October 18. Members of the committee present were: Mr. Sylvester Bundil of San Antonid, Mr. Emil Miculka of Floresville, Mrs. John Hranicky and Mrs. Victor Veroda of Skidmore and Mrs. W. J. Janca of Sinton.

Strana 13 Suggestions were made by most members as to any talent that might be available from their respective lodges but it was agreed to notify other lodges in the district to respond with any talent which they could present. An announcement was made recently in the Vestnik to the effect and an appeal is again made that the lodges notify the program chairman, Victor Veroda of Skidmore as soon as possible in order to give the committee plenty time to arrange the program.

There has been splendid cooperation from several lodges in helping to make the first district meeting a : success and with the increased interest shown by the youths and alai- willingness to participate in the program tki% next meeting should be even more successful.

Further information regarding the district meeting will be given at a later date.

Also we are sending an invitation to the officers at Supreme Lodge.

We have a small membership but we really enjoy our meetings, which we hold in homes of members.

3. You will not liVe in a predominantly Czech community and you may consider yourself completely assimilated into the American culture without any evident ties with the Czech culture of your ancestors. This will be a convenient arrangement for you at most times and you may be • able to live a perfectly normal and completely happy life without ever any need for the Czech language. However, for most such persons, there will arise times in their lives at which they will wish that they had retained and preserved more of their Czech heritage. In any friendly discussion -of names, the subject of nationality and ancestry often arises. If you are truthful at times such as this, you will have to acknowledge that you have renounced and turned your back upon all aspects of the Czech culture of ancestors as being something personally unnectssary and undesirable for you.

The person with whom you are discussing this matter may or may not consider your action in the same light that you do. in general, you will be living a life devoid of the reassurance and security which results from the pride one has iur the traditions and history of his ancestors and a specific and long enduring culture.

Although the three above categories are not all inclusive, they are typical and most Americans of Czech descent may be classified as being of a type somewhere hetween 'the extreme possibilities of categories i and 3. Category 2 is a middle of the road position` Which is most popular and practical' and offers the best chance for survival of the Czech language and culture in America. Adherance to category 2 by the younger and future generations will permit, in the future as in the past, continued retention and assimilation of many desirable features of the Czech culture in this composite culture of America.

Strang, ill A ICAI CZECH CLUB INVITATION

Dear High School Graduate: Since many of you will no doubt enroll at Texas A & M College this fall, I am sure 'that information concerning the Czech language courses and also the A & M Czech Club will interest our readers.

Last year was the first time in the history of Texas A & M that the Czech language was taught. I had the privilege to be among the first students to register for the course. During the first year I not only learned to read and write in the Czech language but also enjoyed speaking Czech with my colleagues and friends. Needless to add, I make many mistakes, but am gradually gaining confidence in myself when speaking and writing. I especially enjoyed the background material touching upon outstanding historical events which- occured in the country of my and your predecessors. Our professor, Dr. John M. Skrivanek, who had studied at the World Famous Charles University in Czechoslovakia for a period of two years (1946-48), and had visited many of the historical places is able to add many interestingA experiences which make historical events come to life. During his first year here at exas A & M College, he was rated, by the student body , among• the top five per cent of our College` professors.

The purpose of this letter is to extend to you an invitation to come to Texas A & M College and help us develop a strong Chair of Slavonic Languages, and an outstanding Czech Club. Last year, when the Chair of Slavonic Languages was established, some fifty students registered for the languages. An equal number was affiliated with the Czech Club, the largest foreign language club on the campus. The new school year (Friday, September 4, opening day of New Student Week; Friday, September 11, 8 a. m. to 5 p. in., registration of new Basic Division students who have had no college work; Saturday, September 12, 8 a. m. to 5 p. m., registration of all other students; Monday, September 14, 8 a. in., beginning of classes), should bring a much larger number.

Courses in first and second year Czech and Russian will be offered for the first time.

LODGE POKROK HOUSTON NO. 88

On Thursday, August 6, the Youth Club of Houston held a meeting. There was a nice size crowd present. During this meeting we were served refreshments from the money in our treasury.

The two topics that were the main discussion are as follows: 1: We are going to present the Beseda at the Miller Park on Wednesday, August '12. We got four boys and four girls to take part in this. They are as follows; Marilyn Earl, Helen Fusig, Mary Kadlecek, Annette Rezek, Frank Bravenec, J. D. Elzner, Lawrence Bravenec, and E. J. Kadlecek. 2. We discussed our next social, which is a swimming party, and Please write to me or The Chair of decided that it will be held at Hot Wells SlaVonic Languages, Texas A & M Col- on Saturday, August 15.

We will meet at the Lodge Melton Holubec at 1:15 p. m. on Saturday, August 15, President-Elect and go from there. Do not worry about Texas A & M Czech Club transportation.

Wednesday, August 26,19W3 After the meeting was -adjourned we practiced 'the Beseda. We are still having our meetings every other Thursday and still inviting all of you young people to attend them.

Fraternally, Annette Rezek, Reporter ) • 4. • ( LODGE VYSEHRAD NO. 48 Beyersville (Taylor, Rt. 3), Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters, I an happy to announce that our meeting of August 2 turned out very well and it was decided we shall celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lodge Vysehrad.

The program will be handled byf Mrs. Edwin Turek, Leon Shiller, and'Iyours truly. Plans are-not complete so I shall make a report at a later date to inform you.

A buffet supper will be served so bring a basket lunch and enjoy the evening with us. All S. P. J. S. T. members and guests are invited to be with us. Entertainment starts at four o'clock.

Fraternally, Mrs. Lumie Shiller ) • 4, DON'T POINT FAN AT YOURSELF; YOU'LL GET A STIFF NECK Do you ever try to beat the heat of a summer's day by pointing an electric fan at yourself — and do you have a stiff I neck or a sore shoulder the next day?

If the answer is "yes," you've learned the hard way that yours is not the best method of using a fan to make humid weather more bearable.

But perhaps you never realized that there is good scientific fact behind the recommendation, made by the General Electric Consumers Institute, that you set your electric fan a short distance from you, on a window sill or a table or even on the floor, and aim it away from you before you turn it on. The air will be moved in a circular motion around the room, but only a gentle. breeze will reach you. You'll feel refreshed, without being chilled.

Pointing a fan directly at anyone is inadvisable, became the movement of air at a high speed across the human body results in an excessive loss of body moisture and heat, leading to a con gestion of blood circulation—and the inevitable stiff neck.

If you're resting or doing light work, air moving faster than 50 feet per minute is moving too fast for comfort, Even when you're working hard, you'll feel uncomfortably chilly when the air velocity exceeds 500 feet per minute -- and fans deliver air at higher speeds than that.

TWO MAGIC QUESTIONS (By John E. Gibson) Psychologists have made a discovery that in a few minutes will give you an insight into a person:1s character that occasional trip. For, as she says, she also likes to fly. you might otherwise never obtain.

Now let's take a man who wished to The discovery, deceptively simple, took be a dog.

She does not tend to be given to self-admiration, gave answers quarrelsome or argumentative. She is a such as this: "I'd like to be a sleek, peace-loving girl, with the instincts of shiny race horse. They are always taken a happy homemaker. She deserves a good care of so beautifully, and are so handhusband.

They are such pret-

ty creatures, and have such long beautiful legs. And they move so gracefully."

And "I think it would be nice to be a chipmunk. They are so little and cute, and I love their ears and whiskers.

The answers of the hundreds of ' subjects tested ran a wide gamut, reflecting just about every type of personality in the book. One person, for example, wanted to be an amoeba, so that he wouldn't have to think, feel, work, struggle, or do anything except exist.

A practical, if somewhat mercenary, blonde said, "Well, I suppose if I had to be an animal, I'd be Mickey louse. I might as well make some money,i hnd get my name on the marquees."

A mother and daughter were interviewed separately. The mother said she would rather be a cow, because a cow nourished her offspring, and looked after it as a good mother should. The daughter, with no knowledge of her mother's response, said she would be a calf. "Because," she said, "a calf gets plenty to eat and its moth& takes good care of it."

The Occidental-college psychologists found that this animal-question technique works effectively on almost everyone. No person tested gave an answer which did not accurately reveal personality traits and character tendencies.

The investigators also reported that there was no evidence of any individual attempting to put his "best foot forward" in giving responses. It did not occur to. the subjects that they were revealing their own personalities; rather, they assumed that they were talking about the traits of a selected animal.

The six-year study also included another animal question disclosing further, tested on 200 subjects, was, "What animal would you least like to be, and why?"

Just how important this question can be is demonstrated by some of the typical responses. For example, "I'd least like to be an ant. Ants are too conventional. Their -lives are so ordered, methodical, and regimented that I can't imagine a more stupid existence." It's pretty clear that this fellow is an individualist. He has initiative, is depressed by routine, and is not overly fond of discipline.

"The animal I'd least like to be is a canary," said another. "Canaries have beautiful voices, but they are in cagei and lead sheltered lives. They never experience adventure, never can take a chance. Their life seem useless and empty." This lad -finds the "struggle for

Strana 22 existence" an exhilarating challenge. He has self-confidence, a zest for life, and a well-developed sense of his own security.

Another person listed three animals he'd least like to be (ant, fish, dog) because "they lead a dangerous life and are likely to get killed." This chap has an anxiety neurosis, a below-zero rating in sense of security.

The most succinct response was: "I'd least like to be a stork. I don't like babies!" Runner-up was: "Any animal that has no brains, because I like to think."

A social-minded gal put the skunk at the bottom of the list, because "they are not well liked." Another person least preferred to be a lion, "because a lion lead g a life of comparative isolation, and does not enjoy the advantages of community life."

Over 80% of the response indicated one of four general personality types.

1. The self-sufficient type. With a need or desire to be independent of others; a need to be free from restraint (but not responsibility); and desire to be master of, or have power over, others, 2. The social and environment-conscions type. Inclined toward gregariousness, social usefulness; disposed toward working With others, and with a strong sense of family responsibility.

3. The vain, self-centered type. Given to self-admiration, and seeking to impress others with his own attributes.

4. The insecure type. Lacking in selfconfidence, and fearful of his environment, he is possessed of a desire to escape adult responsibilities, to "get away from it all," or to find someone to lean on.

The what-animal-would-you-like-tobe technique also makes one of the most fascinating parlor games ever invented.

(--MY CAR WAS STOLEN

ber? No. How about serial number on the chassis? He'd never even noticed it. Well, the tire numbers then? No, sorry.

"I'm sorry, too," the officer said. "By the time we dig up your licenSe number, the car may be several states away with a new set of plates. Did your car have any distinguishing marks — any body scratches or distinctive repair work?"

No, the car was almost new.

'We'll do our best," the officer said.

But we can't promise anything. Don't expect to see your car very soon."

My easygoing friend hasn't seen it yet and he probably never will.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that automobile theft is now the nation's leading crime against property.

In 1951, 197,000 cars valued at $190,000,000 were stolen. More than 16,000 of them, valued at $15,600,000 were never recovered.

But the situation is not hopeless. The auto thief must reckon with more than the local police. Arrayed against him is the National Automobile Theft Bureau, and organization maintained by more than 300 insurance companies, which keeps a stolen-car file for the entire U. S. If a stolen car is taken over a state line, the FBI also enters the picture.

But the fellow who can do most to solve this problem is the motorist himself. According to the American Automobile Association, a five-year survey in one city revealed that ninety-two percent of the autos stolen had been parked with the key in the ignition lock The FBI says there are three main types of car thieves: (1) the joyrider thief who usually abandons the car after taking a jaunt in it and possibly wrecking it; (2) the transportation thief who uses the stolen car in the commission of another crime and then abandons it; (3) the. commercial car thief whose business is selling stolen cars.

A thief may specialize in one type of car. Sidney D. Hurst, now in a Federal institution, allegedly stole forty-eight late-model Chevrolets in and around Alexandria, Virginia, in four years.

Gangs may accept orders from customers for cars of certain year, make, model, an d "olor, and hunt only for those.

The "hot" car must be disguised quickly. Besides changing its numbers and appearance, this includes altering the ownership papers, since the buyer must register the car. Registration and title papers may be forged. Or the papers of a wrecked car may be used for a stolen vehicle.

Wec3nr.z.(14, A,Utt,Ust 70 ; 1973 , Inventors have come up with all sorts of gadgets. Some flash a warning if you leave the key in the lock. Others sound alarms if the car is tampered with.

The car thief is in a hurry, and he wants to be unnoticed. Delay him, and make him attract attention. The amateur or joy-rider thief steals most of the cars. Typically, he's a teen-ager or a drunk who won't work very hard to get the car. To him a locked ignition switch, closed windows, and locked doors are

real barriers.

The professional expects to find locks barring his way and he's prepared for them. But he can't spend hours working on a car parked in a residential neighborhood.

A second ignition switch cast throw this fellow for a, loss. Install It in the glove compartment, under the dash, or in some other inconspicuous place. A valve in the fuel line may stop a thief.

Mount a control on or near the dash and provide it with a lock. Removing some essential part is also a good idea — for instance, the rotor distributor.

Parking lots may present an unsuspected threat. A dishonest *-attendant can have copies made of your keys. He may get your address from documents left in the glove compartment. He or a confederate can drop around later and make off with the car very easily. So don't keep your address in your car.

If your car is delivered to your door by a garage attendant, don't let him leave it on the street with the keys over the sun visor.

If you keep the car in your own garage, see to it that the garage-door lock is strong and that the car is locked.

Use hinges with nonremovable pins and mount the leaves between doors and casing. It's wise to keep one copy of your car's description in your wallet, another in your home, a third where you work.

This will save precious minutes while the thief is trying to make his getaway.

This record should state the year, make, model, and color of your car, the license number, the engine and body serial numbers, the tire numbers, and the serial number of the radio.

A car was stolen from a friend of mine a year ago. The thief removed the hinges of the garage doors. He found the key in the ignition lock, a tank full Include any identifying marks which of gas, and a .rear compartment packed the car may have --- for example, dent with fishing tackle.

"Z eeho je at'astna?" pomyslila "Tolika deti, prastara, babka, muskej jako volskY jho a tadle derna Zenska tahne vSechno s sebou do hor!"

"Lekniny!" vykkikla Lidka a ukazovala yen. Vskutku. Na protahlem rybnikir vedle silnice douhaly z vody -zelene trsy a na nich svitily belosti hranate kvety.

"Lekliny!" opakoval Standa vytahoval hiavu jeSte vYS, nez mot& "Lek-ni-ny4" slabikovala mu Lidka nahlas.

Filipek Pultaril to zaslechl a zvedavost mu zdvihla hiavu. Lekniny? Kde? Protahoval se kolem haraburdi obema de tern. 81apl pri torn Ane2ce na nohu. a mysli"Kam lezeS?" kekla tali. kekla. 'Nebyla la to zhurta. Take to 'tali rada, kdyS ji nekdo Slapal na nohy.

"Tamdle!" tikazoval Filip na 'sada deti. Doopravdy tarn chtel. Jeho oci uS tam byly.

"Tak poles!" iekl Vincek a podal mu pravou ruku. Levou si opfel o AneMino koleno. Ani na Filipa nemyslil.

Citil pod svou rirkou AneZeiriu telesnost.

Koleno bylo site vcelku tvrde, ale jakasi pomyslna hebkost z neho proudila Vinckovou rukou as do jeho hrudi. Ale Filipek u:i byl vytaSen a Vinekovu ruku, ktera, spoeivala na 'Satech AneZdinStch o neco dele, neZ bylo nutno, sesunula AneZka doliI. Nezbylo, neZ si dat ruku na koleno vlastni. Vincek to rozpaaite udinil. AneZka se mu zatracene libila.

Filipek se koneene dostal k detem.

"Kde sou lekniny?" vyhrkl ze sebe a horlive je hledal ()alma.

IVas pripad se odehraval pied mnohYmi roky. Ve skuteenOsti John Fitch byl zabit v jednom z nejkrutejaich a nerozunmYch pripaaa. Fitch byl prostY' 610vek, Caste chude obleeen, kterY mimo nekolika p!,)nit pod paZi, choval sen sen vaak doprovazen naerty, vzorky a awerou. PPedpovidal, ze kdyby uplatniti to, co ma v mysli, treinilo by to hotovon revoluci, SpojenYm Statam by to umoz tido ohronanY pokrok a nesmirne boze Fitch jest pytlem hatatvi: KaZdY ze jest snilkem s raZovou fanpraaten FA° vi jestli jell° plany neobsahuji jedno kOloeko, ktere vynalezce postrada v hlave!

CelYch 15 roku hlas jeho byl jak na pouati: vaude neza,jem, politikaCi bred nim zavirali dvere, koneene Cekli o nem, 2e se zblaznil, verejne byl poniZen, ztratil veakere zdroje — a zemPel. Ano, Ceklo se, ze zemPel nasledkem pou'Ziti presprilia uspavajicicla pilulek — ale ye skutecnosti John Fitch byl zavraZden.

Tento muZ byl zabit liknavosti a nezajmem! Nezajem, zaujatost, pCedsudky neuvedomelosti, 'politicks fizkoprsost, — zabily Fittyto a nikoliv jeho vynalez vyche. Fitch mel plany pro parnik planovan, sestaven a fispeSine plujici 'roku driVe neCli 'svet slyael Robert Fultonovi.
