PROBLEM STATNI110 ORGANISATORA E SEOVNIKU stoji, Ze slovo "problem" znarnena velmi neV snacinou otazku, anebo takovou ,vec, ktera je spletend, teZka k provedeni nebo k rozlu gteni. Otazka statniho organisatora je opravdu problemem.

Pro nmohe eleny, kteri se na otazku statniho orzanisatora divaji z dalky a nemuseji uvaZovati o vS'ech detailech, nebyl by to ZadnY' problem. Aeknou jednodae, "Najdete si nekoho, a uZ at' se jednou rozkYvame." Rady a pokyny jsou zdarma, nic nestoji toho, kdo je rozdavd, ale nekdy take problem neusnadni a nerozluAti. Nekdy ty rady a pokyny jsou poslane na nepravou adresu.

Asi pred dvema mesici pfistoupil ke mne spolkovSi bratr, Ze rad by se mnou promluvil, jen tak "na slovieko." Ustoupili jsme stranou od ostatnich a "slovieko" byla vlastne deli debata. Pil'Sel s nahledein, Z"e Hlavni aradovna by nemela za\racial novY arad a posilati nekoho nokam do ' kol, aby se na atraty SPJST vycvieil a potom byl ustanoven statnim organisatorem.

Byl toho nahledu, Ze mime uZ dost lidi u Hlavni fitadovny, aby to organisadni praci vedli bez statniho organisatora.

Nekdy se mi zda,,, Ze clenove si vyberou prave redaktora, aby si odleheili, aby mu povedeli, co je UM., joke jsou jejich nahledy a jak by spolkove veci mely bYti provadeny. Snad proto redaktor dostava osobni dopisy s poznamkami, "Neuvefejriuj tento dopis, to je jen mezi mnou a

Proto opravdu lituji, Ze jsem nezachytil jednani ye schuzi v Taylor a Ze jsem zanedbal svou povinnost, ac nebylo to mou vinou.

Znovu bych se piimlouval, aby distriktni schtize byly oznamovany co nejdrive, aspori lest tYdnn dopredu. Srtad nejlepSi plan by byl„ kdy by Aden a misto priSti schuze byly yZdy vzaty v Uvahu, net se stavajici schitze r4pusti.

Tento plan neni pokaZde- proveditelnY, ale byl by nej‘praktietejSi, kdy2 by to SW. OvSern je ti'eba yzajemne dohody, aby dva • distrikty neporadaly schtili V tent den. KdyZ byla schtize Sesteho distriktu y Minato/a, ureili si zastuPci Sesteno distriktu misto a den. Ale pozdeji jinY distrikt vybral si tentYZ den.

Aby to bylo jests vice komplikovane, hlavni firednici zapomneli sei:,,dohodnouti, kam kterY by mei jeti. Tak se stalo, Ze SestY distrikt nedostal Zadnou navdte- .

Yu z Ustredi pit schuzi, ktera se konala v Hallettsville. A zase byl pronesen nahied, aby se pro AestY distrikt neureoval den, aZ bude dohoda s hlavnimi filredniky, kdy budou moci do schuze prijeti.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY OUR ,supreme officers will be in the midst of the 67th annual convention of the National Fraternal Congress. The con•vention will be held in Dallas, with the Baker Hotel as headquarters for the sessions of the various sections. To understand the procedure of the convention, one must picture in, his mind about ten or twelve groups that meet in different rooms for the discussion certain topics and problems. One is s being reminded of the remark the late Will Rogers made: "Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects." The sections of the National Fraternal Congress are devised to assemble those who are interested and who wish to learn more about particular subjects. * * ONCE A DAY THE DELEGATES meet together in one big room, either for breakfast or for a dinner, so that an outstanding speaker could address the entire group. It is always a speech cn some very interesting and general topic, close to the heart of every fraternalist. Also, on the third day of the convention, the entire body of delegates hear the reports of the officers and various committees. On the fourth day comes the election of officers, which is, as a rule, a formal affair, almost perfunctory. The president goes out, he cannot serve but one year, and the vice-president is nominated by a flowery speech, seconded by additional bouquets, and the election is a fixed, mechanical, formal procedure. Second vice-president becomes automatically first vice-president. Only one new member is added to the executive committee each year. John Harris, president of the Praetorians, of Dallas, was added to the executive committee last year.

• • YOUR EDITOR WILL HAVE TO BE in Dallas somewhat earlier than the delegates. He is on the executive committee of the Press Section, and was asked by Rex James, president of the Press Section, to be on hand Sunday afternoon and evening, September 13, to prepare the exhibits of the material which the fraternal orders are using to stimulate membership drives, better at-

I

tendance of the meetings, awards for continuous attendance, publicity gadgets, pennants, contest awards, or any articles of appropriate publicity which reflect the effort to keep the members as one big family. Since we are one of three fraternal organizations who worked for the convention to be held in Texas, we should have been gathering the material for the exhibit right along, but with the exception of the Vestnik we don't have any suitable material for the exhibit.. Our officers may surprise us yet. * ON MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMber 14, the Fraternal Field Managers' Association and the Fraternal Insurance Counselors' Association will meet for discussion of the organizational work and membership drives. Our state organizer should have been appointed so that he could be present. Or we should have had at least three or four organizers with the designation of "Fraternal Insurance Counselors" (F. I. C.) who could be present at this all-day meeting and learn how the progressive fraternals conduct their membership drives, how they stimulate the local organizers, and how they instruct their field workers. Your editor has to pass one more final examination to be on equal footing with those who meet on Monday, but I certainly would feel very happy if some of cur officers, directors or organizers would go in with me to this meeting with the F. I. C. card and button. We should go and learn.

• • MUCH INTEREST HAS BEEN AROUSed from the announcement that a special and unusual discussion will be in the Presidents' Section. Presidents of many of the fraternal societies will meet together to air out the "pros" and "cons" of fraternal benefit societies to enter the field of health and accident insurance. We have just buried our Sick Benefit Department. We had something which indicated that we had been going in the right direction. But indifference, or a lack of interest, cr probably a lack of foresight, killed what we had. Yet I believe that our president and also our manager of the Sick Benefit Depart-

ment should attend this meeting, Tuesday, September 15. Brother Marek and Brother Koliha should absorb everything pertaining to the field of health and accident insurance. Of course, it is work, too much work, which requires thinking and planning. We may not revive what we lost. Yet, our officers may find out from the lectures of/ other officers what other fraternal organizations have gone through.

• • THE SAME MORNING, SEPTEMBER 15, there will be six additional meetings. The Secretaries' Section will meet in another room. The collections of rates by local lodges will be one of the topics of discussion. The secretaries of so cieties are notified to bring a copy of the new annual statement which go to the state insurance departments. A great majority of fraternals don't have the office of financial secretary, as we have in our SPJST, but the collections of dues and the preparation of annual statements come under the supervision of supreme secretaries. For that reason, the Secretaries' Section will discuss topics pertaining to the duties of corresponding secretary and also financial secretary. Brother Chupick and Brother Urbanovsky will greatly benefit froht the discussions in the Secretaries' Section.

• • THE PRESS SECTION WILL HOLD, on Tuesday morning, September 15, what has become through the years the annual, social get-together breakfast.

All delegates and guests are invited.

After breakfast, the delegates will go to the meetings of their respective groups, all presidents one way, all secretaries another way, all attorneys still another way, all medical men to meet in their section, and the editors will have their business meeting. It is in this meeting where the editors discuss what is good for the official papers. It was in such a meeting last year in Boston where your editor was given hints and points how to make the Vestnik more interesting. I hope that this year (Continued on page 12)

"DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS" will probably be heard many times by those who attend the 67th annual convention of the National Fraternal Congress. It is a pity that only the officers, directors, medical director, youth director, attorney and editor can serve as delegates to the convention. Others are admitted only as guests and visitors, who are free to attend any or all meetings and lectures. Nothing was mentioned at the last meeting of the Supreme Lodge about the delegates to the N. F. C. in Dallas, so I don't know how many delegates the SPJST will have.

Last year, When Brother Marek and, our editor came to Boston, there was no report that we were coming, although the report was mailed in ample time.

TEXAS IS FAMOUS FOR ITS BARbecues, the real barbecues, not the hamburger variety. Delegates will be guests of the Praetorians, Slavonic Benevolent Order and the Sons of Hermann, three fraternal societies with their home offices in Texas, and members of the National Fraternal Congress. The barbecue will be Tuesday evening, September 15, at the Praetorian Youth Center located on a beautiful eight-acre tract of land in the pecan grove and adjoining the club house of the Praetorians.

All the barbecue and all the entertainment will be free to all registered delegates. We should feel honored that we will be one of the hosts to the delegates.

As I understand, it will be a real "Southern hospitality."

called for that purpose on August 12, 1952, over a year ago. These rules were published on September 10, 1952. In fairness to, and in defense of, the Supreme Lodge who is criticized for being slow in the appointment of state organizer, it should be reported that we have seven graduates of the basic training course, but so far none of the seven have applied for the Fraternal Insurance Counselor designation. The matter was discussed at the last meeting of the Supreme Lodge, and Brother Marek gave his assurance that something definite will be done at the next meeting in October. + ) +

Are Finders Keepers?

"Finders keepers, losers weepers." Is this old rhyme true or false? Lawyers say it is not always strictly accurate under the law. It is sometimes rather difficult to define the rights of a finder in court.

There are some rather fine distinctions and exceptions to the "finders keepers" maxim that have plagued the courts — and finders — for generations.

In the first place, the finder is not entitled to keep the property unless the original owner is not known and can not be located. Neither may he keep it unless the object is truly "lost" and not merely "Mislaid."

In general, property is legallylost" when parted with involuntFily — through accidefit, neglect, forgetfulness or any other unintentional circumstance.

Property is not lost in the legal sense when voluntarily left by the owner, who intends to pick it up later—even though he fails to do so. Such property is "mislaid."

Thus, if one loses a watch on the street by having the clasp break, riot knowing where or when it was dropped, it is legally lost. The same is true of a fountain pen falling through a hole in one's pocket unobserved. In such cases, the finder owns what he has found against all but the true owner.

On the other hand, a package left on the seat of a bus is "mislaid" rather than lost. In one Southern state, a pocketbook left in a barber shop by a customer was held to have been "left" not "lost." The barber was arrested and convicted of larceny when he spent the money that was in it.

Under the law the finder of either lost or mislaid property should make a "reasonable effort" to find the real nelalen articles are left on a train or "W bus, in a public hotel room, Or even when dropped on a shop floor, under circumstances indicating that the true owner will later return to claim them, such items are not considered lost. The proper custodian to hold them for the owner's return would be the propretor or other person in charge.

Remaining unclaimed, the property sometimes goes to the custodian, sometimes to the finder. The distinction here appears to be whether the place is is found is private or semi-private, or a place used by the general public. ) o4 + Sir Walter Raleigh wrote "A Historry of the World" while imprisoned in the Tower of London.

LETTERS LODGE NO. 54 S. P. J. S. T. West, Texas Dear Brother and Sisters: Once a year, Lodge No. 54 has its annual picnic. We always have our picnic near the Brazos River, but this year the members voted to have our picnic in our park. So we did. August 2 was the day. All the members were asked to bring some food, and the Lodge was to furnish the barbecue, bread and other things.

I never saw so much food. We had five long tables covered with food, and one big table just covered with fried chickens arid barbecue. I'll tell you our members surely do their share in bringing food and everything when they are called upon. Everybody worked together and helped get, things done. And then we had a big feast. For about one hour everybody was so full one could hardly move. But then the games were played, fun began, or some just talked and watched.

Brother Robert Cervenka called the meeting to order. It was short, but other members said it was good. I was busy having fun. I forgot about the meeting, so I don't know what happened.

Later in the evening, there was enough food left, so again we all went, got everything ready and ate. I wish to thank all of our members for taking part in our picnic work. There is always plenty to do at a picnic.

I wish to thank Brother Louis Hosek of Grapevine for the nice letter that was sent to me through Brother Cervenka. I didn't know I was that important. But I will say that I guess nearly all of our Lodge No. 54 members told me how they enjoy reading my letters.

That makes me feel very good. And now, when. I receive letters from other Lodges, it makes me feel like I am really somebody. Thanks again.

This will be all until next week. With best regards.

The story of young Coufal, the news item about students of A & M, and three high salesmen should have been on front page and in EngliSh. Why? So the youth could‘ see it. Our "Predseda" says, "While I can read Czech, it would be so much easier if it were in English". I, too, get letters, one from Central Texas, a prominent member; says, "Did you know that the youth, do not know that Vestnik has an English section?" Letter from

Strana 13

costal section, from delegate, states "I agree with you 100 per cent; when I go to the Alamo and other Texas shrines and read the names, I never find a Czech name among them."

Letter from North Texas, also from a delegate, writes, "There will have to be changes made " S.P.J.S.T. was primarily organized to sell insurance, and at its beginning protection was all that was known to us and a thousand dollar policy then was bigger than five thousand today. Hence fellows like 'young Coufal should be sold a five thousand dollar policy, and he should be told that at the age of thirty-five he would have a paidup policy of Five Thousand, with options.

On a recent trip to Amarillo, I ran into a Wichita Falls insurance ..isalesman; I said, "What are you doi here? I always thought that companies restricted thMr agents to certain areas at home and near." He told me," 'Selling insurance, of course; you see, I am a broker and sell for eight companies. I have no monthly stipend and don't get hot letters from home office." I asked him what approach he used. He told me, "When I get news that So-and-sa might be in the market for insurance, I contact him and, in most cases, they ask what company." He told me, "I always tell him that I would have to analyze his case and then select the company that has a policy that fits his or their case."

In talking to him, I asked him if he was one of the Million-Dollar men. He said, "Heck no, those fellows don't make as much money as a salesman who sells Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (ordinary) business. I asked why. He said because they sell "term policies." lie told me that he just sold a hundred thousand dollar business term policy to a grain firm, "and do you know, I made less than $500 on the deal?"

I am sure that our business people have business insurance, but they can't buy it from us.

Re insurance: Talking to the district manager of Great Southern Life, here in Wichita Falls, he tells me that his company won't keep over fifty thousand on any one individual, yet they will write you for a million; the amount over fifty thousand is parceled out aniOng other companies; . a photostatic medical report is attached to the transfer.

That leads me to the main question: "Why should the kind of policies we sell be left up to the convention? When it comes to detail, what does the delegate know about the kinds of policy offered or the kind we should have? This should be left up to the Supreme officers.

FAKE MEDICINE WORTH BILLIONS About one hundred years ago, it was sold as a medicine for rheumatism, gout, lameness, blindness, and all aches and pains.

Today, the same product which used to be called "Seneca Oil" or "carbon oil" is used for other and different purposes, and its value runs into billions.

Ninety-four years ago this August the oil industry was born.

It was beside Oil Creek near Titusville in Pennsylvania that Edwin L. Drake and a driller Uncle Billy Smith brought in the first drilled oil well in history at a depth of 70 feet.

The product itself was not new. Two hundred years earlier, Jesuit missionaries wrote in their diaries of oil western New York. Some hundred years before the well, the Seneca Indians were taking oil to Niagara and trading it for goods; which probably led to the early name for petroleum, "Seneca Oil." Before 1859, Oil Creek in western Pennsylvania was America's greatest source of oil. As early as 1790, settlers in the area were collecting oil seepage from springs along the creek and were peddling it as a medicine and cure-all for man and beast.

About 1850 a canalboat operator, Samuel Kier, whose father's Pennsylvania salt well produced some oil, apparently decided promoting oil for a medicine was a better way of making a living than canalboating. Some of his ads, if printed today, might get him a cease and desist order from the Federal Trade Commission. For example: "The petroleum has been fully tested • . it had -somb friends, those who were cured through its wonderful agency . . . the lame, through its instrumentality, were made to walk . . . the blind, to see. Those who had suffered for years under the torturing pains of rheumatism, gout and neuralgia, were restored to health and usefulness. ."

Kier's ads failed to create a demand equal to his supply, So he set up a onebarren diStillery in Pittsburgh and became the world's first oil refiner. His new product, "carbon oil," sold better and he had to increase his refinery capacity to five barrels.

But the Oil Creek settlers were still floating blankets in the water near the oil 'springs and wringing oil out after the cloth had been saturated. In 1851, a bottle of oil from the creek, carried to Dartmouth College, was pronounced valuable and the world's first oil company, the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company of New York, was formed.

It bought the Bissell Farm where the

Drake Well later was brought in, but had hard financial sledding and was dissolved so a new company could be formed, the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company of Connecticut, where corporation laws were more liberal.

The new firm was split with dissension and made little progress. So one ol its organizers and stockholders, James M. Townsend, of New Haven, Conn., and some of his fellow townsmen in 1858 organized a third company, the Seneca Oil Company, and leased the Bissell farm from Pennsylvania Rock Oil. They hired a former railroad conductor, Edwin L. Drake, as general agent at $1,000 per year. He went to Titusville in 1858 to drill for oil.

Drake met obstacles which would have daunted most men. They daunted his financial backers, and on the very day he hit oil he got a money order from them and a letter telling him to settle up his bills and quit. These orders were changed, naturally, on news of the strike Equipment was hard to obtain. Drake; pioneering of course, had no experience in how to produce oil and nobody to look to for advice. He tried excavating, but hit a vein of water which filled the hole and seht the diggers scurrying out with their tools.

"Enough water in there to drown us all," one digger said.

So Drake decided to drill. He bought a "Long John" stationary, tubular boiler to provide power for the drilling. He designed and built an engine house and a derrick, in which to swing the drilling tools.

He tried to hire a salt well driller from among the borers of salt wells, common in the area, but had trouble. Most of those he approached thought he was crazy. Some hired out to him, just to get rid of him, then failed to show up.

Finally he made a contract at $2.50 per day with Uncle Bill Smith of Salina, Pa., an experienced salt well man. The services of his 16-year-old boy, S were thrown in. Drake, a dark-complexioned man in a black suit and high black hat, failed to impress Smith's family at first. Smith's 24-year-old daughter Margaret, who went with her father and brother to Titusville and cooked the meals for the world's first oil drillers, thought he looked like an Indian and might scalp them all.

Uncle Billy made the drilling tools at a cost of $76.50. The weight was between one and two hundred pounds. Drake got some cast-iron pipe in 10-foot sections which they drove 32 feet to bedrock with

an old white-oak battering ram, lifted by an old-fashioned windlass.

About mid-August, 1859, they began to drill with steam power, making about three feet per day. On Saturday, August 27, when the well was down 60 feet, the drill dropped into a crevice and went down another six inches.

It was quitting time, and Uncle Billy and his son pulled up their tools and quit for the weekend. Sunday afternoon, Uncle Billy and Sam strolled to the well and glanced down into the pipe.

A dark fluid was standing in the pipe almost up to the derrick floor. Uncle Billy ran a makeshift bailer down the pipe, drew it up and emptied it on the ground. 5.

Excited, he sent Sam running toward the nearest settlement shouting, "We've struck oil!"

The "crazy" man's dream had come true, with far-reaching effects on the area, the United States and the whole world. Drake had made millionaires of many of those who had scoffed* at his "folly", though he never cashed in himself.

The world had • a new illuminant, lubricant, and source of fuel. Since then, the search for oil has gone forward in all states and in all lands.

The great supplies of natural gas of today came about mainly through the search for oil and much of the success of the gas industry stems from the labors of the dark-complexioned ex-train conductor in the black suit and stovepipe hat. ) • 4, THE MOON The Hayden Planetarium, New York City, has taken more than 24,000 spacetravel applications. Although there's nothing certain about it, the planetarium people have a round trip to the moon scheduled to leave the earth at 8 a.m. EST, May 30, 1975. Besides applications from people in every state in the Union, the planetarium has had letters from ,many foreign countries.

The planetarium does not guarantee the departure date of May 30, 1975, but will turn over all its applications for reservat•ons to commercial space-lines if and when the day comes for the great adventure.

YOUR ACHING . FEET • .

Look clown at your feet before you start to read this article.

Chances are about two to one that you've kicked off your shoes before you picked up this issue of the Vestnik.

Don't be embarrassed. You are at hoMe. Or you 'are sitting in a car while someone else is driving, Your shoes are off. Or they are being taken off while you are watching a movie, while you are visiting, while you are traveling. No need to be embarrassed. You are just one of the millions of unhappy Americans whose feet get tired so easily.

The U. S. Public Health Service claims that 80 per cent of the people in this country are suffering, or have suffered, from some type of foot ailment. I don't know how that figure was arrived at, how the aching foot census was taken. BUt if the figures are correct, it means that tens of millions are walking around on feet that hurt.

Aching feet have become a national joke. The practice of slipping cut of one's shoes at the first opportunity has become such a widespread habit that the National Safety Council found it necessary to warn that needless accidents were being caused by that habit.

Some motorists take off their shoes, drive in stockinged feet, which slip off brakes and clutch ' pedals. The feet with stockings or socks react differently than the feet with the familiar footwear.

For young folks, painful feet are an unplea,7ant nuisance. But young people can stand it to a greater degree. But as we get older, we find that mistreat: ed feet are one of the major causes of discomfort. Aching feet are definitely no joke.

Yet, confronted with this situation, most ' of ,us—including the sufferers—ignore it. A Gallup poll some time ago uncovered the fact that the majority of the people .deseribed aching feet as their most .common complaint, but most of them were doing nothing about it.

And the minority who were doing something were in most cases doing the wrong thing. A quick trip to the corner drug store for a corn plaster, or the purchase of a pair , of so-called "corrective shoes," touted as a cure-all, are all too common ways of seeking relief.

But these devices may not only fail to cure foot ills; in many cases they prove extremely harmful, particularly to older persons who suffer from diabetes or impaired circulation.

If feet are subjected to the torture of improper-or ill-fitting shoes, exposed to constant neglect and frequent abuse, they will cease to function efficiently

long before the rest of our body shows any impairment of age. These foot disabilities become most acute in early middle age. Untreated foot troubles often lead to headaches, back pains, aching shoulders, varicose veins and a host of -other ills resulting from improper posture.

But all this misery needn't -be. 'Most of us are born with perfect feet, artfully designed by nature to do the job of carrying us about all the days. of our lives. Each foot is an intricate mechanism consisting of bones, nerves, blood vessels and muscles. Given a minimum of proper care, our feet can fum ettion efficiently and painlessly for scores of years.

After '50, - the bones of the foot tend to lose their flexibility. Changes take place in the joints and the circulation.

These are changes to which a person is entitled at this age and are no cause for alarm—if something is done about them, If there is a generalized feeling of pain in the foot, sometimes switching to a pair of well-fitted all-leather oxfords will afford complete relief. Often the addition of a pad or a wedge to the shoe to change the weight-bearing areas will be very helpful. These should be prescribed by a podiatrist or chiropodist (titles given to specialists who are licensed in every state to treat foot disabilities). Also, in cases where arches are needed, these should be fitted as carefully as you would have your eyeglasses Or your dentures fitted. Your foot doctor will have to take X-rays and make a plaster cast of the foot.

Foot gear must be selected with the greatest care. The use of rubber, plastic, canvas or other material which fail to give sufficient protection should be avoided. Shoes should be of all-leather chriStrUction end fitted full to avoid constriction of any part of the foot.

Leather is important for several reasons. First, it is the closest thing to skin and hence will conform readily to the shape of the foot. Second, it protects the foot against injury. And most important, it permits the foot to breathe allowing perspiration of the fobt to be evaporated. It is the accumulation of this perspiration that forms the hot, dark, moist environment so conducive to the,development of ringworm of the feet—"athlete's foot"—and this can be a serious thing. Vici kid, a lightweight soft leather which shapes readily, is best for feet that are thin and bony.

For women, a leather oxford with heels not more than an inch and a half

in height is best. While dressier shoes may be worn for special occasions, they should not be used when much walking or standing is contemplated, Wearing a pair of spike heels or sling-back pumps may draw a whistle from your husband, but only a protest from yOur suffering feet.

Feet should be bathed every day. Toenails should be cut straight across.

Avoid picking at the corners. And if you have a corn or ingrown toenail, don't cut it yourself—the risk of infection is far too great. Seek professional help as soon as you can.

Use a little lanolin on the feet and legs to prevent excessive dryness ", and to keep the skin soft. Most baby oils on the market contain up to 50 per cent lanolin and are excellent for this purpose.

As we get older, blood circulation may be complicated by diseaSes such as diabetes, Buerger's disease and hardening of the arteries.

Clinics are placing increasing stress on simple measures of foot hygiene to prevent serious complicationt. Grim as it may sound, one such clinic in the East points with pride to its record of not a single amputation due to gangrene of the foot in twelve years. During all that time, its patients were examined and treated routinely in a special clinic manned by chiropodists. Each patient was given a set of the ten foot health rules which accompany this article. Study and practice them faithfully, and you'll walk the road to foot happiness with ease.

These ten rules, developed by the American Foot Care Institute, have been adopted almost universally by government agencies, health groups, educational authorities and insurance companies. They are part of the routine health adVice given to every mailman, and a mailman's feet often are required to travel twelve to fourteen mileS per day. See what a difference they can mean to you.

Wash frequently. Bathe your feet once or even twice a day, dry them thoroughly and use foot powder afterward.

Change often. Never wear the same shoes two days in succession, and change socks or stockings once or twice a day.

Trim right. Cut your toenails straight across and not shorter than the flesh.

Wear right. Wear all-leather shoes, both soles and uppers, and pick the right shoe for the right occasion.

Fit right. Be sure you have the prop-, er size of shoe, the proper last of shoe,,

Keep dry. Don't needlessly get your feet wet, and don't let them stay wet from perspiration.

BACK TALK FROM BABIES!

When I entered the business a little over a year and a half ago I had the usual rookie's fear of being unable to find enough prospects.

Then I was introduced to Juvenile insurance and liked the idea so much I decided to concentrate on prospecting exclusively among new-born babies. It proved to be a good plan.

I have never yet had a baby tell me he (or she) was life insurance poor, had a relative in the business, or could do better with his money elsewhere. None of them ever slammed the door in my face; asked me to come back next month, or told me his wife could go to work if anything happened to him.

The laws of nature prevent babies from objecting to life insurance. Strong natural erhotions — love, pride, hope in the future — operate with almost equal force to prevent parents, from objecting to juvenile insurance.

I am sold on children as a basis for my prospecting system not so much because of the many immediate juvenile sales, but because I am convinced it affords the best possible means of obtaining adult business in new homes. In fact, the plan was good enough to place me fourth in my company's ordinary paid-for business last year.

USE HOME FREEZER WISELY When you buy a home freezer you should know that it is not simply a storage vault for fruit and vegetables, nor merely a place to hoard meat against possible shortages. It is really an appliance that can revolutionize your eating habits. It can mean better meals for your family and many more hours of leisure for you, the cock.

To farmers, it may mean liberty to slaughter in summer and fewer trips to food stores in town. To others, it can mean meals 'planned well in advance, saving last-minute fuss and confusion.

Still others will find that it will enable them to take care of unexpected guests without a moment's misgiving. To every person, a freezer should mean a new and better way of life.

Freezing food is the simplest method of preservation, but not the least expensive. To freeze one pound of food costs several times more than to can it. On the ether side, there are no jars to sterilize and no standing over a hot stove for freezing is easy: . If you don't save money, you do save time and work. Properly wrapped and frozen foods taste much more nearly like fresh foods than those preserved by any other method.

How do you determine what kind of freezer to buy? Wise buyers are guided by the following considerations. 1. Space available. 2. Number of persons in the family 3. Extent of their entertaining.

4. Whether or not to have a garden. 5.

Time available.

To help you make your decision, you should know that one cubic focit of freezer space will accomodate 54 rectangular pint containers, 70 12-ounce packa g es of frozen foods or 12 frying chickens. Two cubic feet will hold a quarter of beef.

There are three principal types of home freezers. The chest type freezer ranges in size from 2 to 22 cubic feet. It will store from 70 to 780 pounds. It may be square or rectangular with a top opening. The upright freezer ranges from 6 to 55 cubic feet, with capacities from 210 to 2,000 pounds of food.

does not chip. Rounded corners in the interior are easier to clean. The opening should be well-insulated. It should swing easily, on ball bearing hinges. It should close tightly, and have a cushion gasket surrounding the opening to keep warn air out. Good insulation from 3 to 4 inches thick is vital. A well-insulated freezer will keep foods safe at zero temperature as long as 36 hours after electric current has been interrupted. A fast-freezing compartment is not necessary, but is desirable.

Be sure to give some thought to where you are going to put Your freezer before you buy it. The first choice is the kitchen, where you prepare food to be frozen and later cook the'' food. The temperature of the room does not effect the constant zero temperature within your freezer and the kitchen is certainly the logical and convenient place.

Common sense will tell you not to put your freezer near. the stove, a radiator, or where the sun's rays will strike it continually.

The next best place, would be the breakfast room, pantry, or porch, as close to the kitchen as possible.

Finally, the basement or garage must be used if there is no space nearer the kitchen. Even so, the freezer is worth the extra steps.

Check with your electrician to make sure the electrical circuit you plan to use is not already overloaded. A level, solid floor is important.

If you are planning to remodel or buy a new home, make sure that there is space for a freezer in or near the kitchen, even if your budget does not permit immediate purchase of a freezer.

Once you have your freezer properly installed, the best general care that you can give it is to leave it strictly alone most of the time. It automatically controls the zero temperature in storage compartment and the subzero temperature in the quick-freezing compartment.

VESTNIK

Strang THE A few years back, while I was still working at the post office, taking five courses at the university, editing both the. Czech and the English section, and teaching a Czech course, some people asked me how it was possible for me to carry on so many activities.

One of the most remarkable discoveries in' psychology is that the average persons uses scarcely 15 per cent of his capacity to concentrate. If we could use our entire capacity, what an increase in accomplishments we would experience.

Very often we hear people say that they cannot concentrate. The reason, ordinarily, is that they don't have enough interest in what they wish to be the object of their concentration.

When I am consumingly interested in something, I can do twice as much work.

All of us have a problem in common: to increase our power of concentration.

Of course some of us need to increase it to a greater extent than others. And everyone who is interested in leading a fuller, more successful, and exciting life will find the improvement of his power to concentrate not only a fascinating experience, but one that pays top dividends as well.

Here are several steps to take if you want to increase your power of , concentration: 1. Develop your attention. Try this simple experiment. Make a fist. Hold it in front at you as you sit, comfortably in your favorite chair. Now stick up your thumb. Look at your thumb as intently as you can for at least a minute. Your thumb is now the focus, or bullseye, of your attention. But as you hold your eyes steadily on it, you are aware of many other things, such as the radio program in the next room, the light coming through the window, the odor of apple pie baking in the kitchen, the "feel" of your spine against the chair, etc. All these marginal impressions constitute the periphery of your attention. As you continue to gaze at your thumb, notice its characteristics as minutely as you can: its shape, the creases in the skin, the size, shape and condition of the nail, the cuticle, etc.

For the deeper your absorption in the details of your thumb, the fainter will become your periphery impressions.

By applying this principle of intense, Studious focusing, you can actually learn to ignore even irritating peripheral sensations. The great Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, focused his at-

ART OF CONCENTRATION tentions so well that he actually wrote his Meditations amid the noise and confusions of army life. Michael Pupin, the great physicist, thought through many technical problems as a graduate student, while he served as a night watchman. Thomas A. Edison could focus his attention so fixedly that he was virtually oblivious to day changing into night, hunger pains, and the shouts of his family.

These men were not born with any special capacity for focusing attention.

They developed it. How? First, by becoming , deeply interested in the ideas that confronted them.Second by practice.

Their great attention spans didn't develop over night. Only through sustained practice did they achieve the ability to focus their attention for long periods.

If you wish to increase your attention span you may want to begin by timing yourself. For example, take reading.

Focus your attention for a short time, say five minutes, in magazine or book.

During that time, read the pages as intently as you studied your thumb. At the end of the fine-minute period, put the book aside. Then an hour later, focus your attention on reading again, this time for seven minutes. Set an alarm clock so that you won't have to glance up from time to time. Remember, during your trial periods you must focus intensively. • Follow this principle of gradually increasing your ficus time for several weeks or months, and you will be amazed and proud of your growth.

2. Set the stage:, Practice in the right atmosphere, Partieularly in the begin, ning. Select a quiet room. If you study in a library, get off in a corner away from the loan desk, and especially avoid the gabblers. If your own room is noisy, you may want to wear ear-stoppers, like those which insomniacs and swimmers sometimes use.

Make sure that the light is bright and soft and easy on the eyes; that coming over your left shoulder is preferred. And how about the temperature? Most of us are more efficient at 68 degrees Fahrenreit. Higher tempera tures encourage drowsiness; lower ones, discomfort. Make sure also that the room is well ventilated. A steady supply cf fresh air helps to purify the blood, which is the food of the brain.

Of course you will sit in a comfortable chair. An armchair helps some to concentrate. Others do better work while sitting on a straight chair at a table or desk. Experiment to see which

you prefer.

Check up also on the general appearance of your room. If it is cluttered up, it may distress you unconsciously.

If possible, always practice your periods of concentration in the same place under such favorable conditions as we haie just discussed.

3. Don't smoke. You are better off = if you do not smoke during your practice periods. A Sherlock HolmeS, puffing on his calabash, in a deep brown study, is a past master at concentration. His focus holds through clouds of smoke.

You may think the cigarette, pipe, or cigar sets you in a contemplative mood; but experiments show that all the movements required to light up, flier 'the ashes, inhale, etc., distract the attention, particularly of those who concentrate poorly. Wait until your practice . period is over to smoke, 4. Keep comfortable. You can readily appreciate why your attention will wanday if you are uncomfortable. If you are tired before you begin your practice period you will do poor work. You may want to stretch out for'five or ten minutes before bcginning.

Befol'e and after each practice period, stretch and yawn and blink your eyes. You see, all these details may seem unimportant, taken up one at a time.

But added together, they present a real barrier to concentration. Such feelings as being- thirsty, hungry, or satiated are of course distracting. Check up on all these things before practicing.

5, Mind your clothes. A man with shoes that pinch, or a woman with a tight girdle, are bound to fail Lo concentrate as long or as well as those whose clothing doesn't call attention to itself. If you practice at home, why not wear your house slippers and robe?

You probably will do more and better concentrating that way.

6. Try synethesia. This ten-dollar word refers to the influence of cue sense on another. For example, some people seem of See and read better when they hear soft music. The famous cartoonist of Steve Canyon, Milton Caniff, draws his inimitable comic strip as he listens to his favorite records. Some college students say they do a better job of cramming for final examinations when they listen to the radio. Our son John was one of them.

One explanation of this is that these individuals like music. It increases their comfort. And incidentally, it drowns out countless minor noises , each of which would distract the attention. Try it. Ii concentration to the accompani-

flying objects fall :it° four groups: flying disks, torpedo or cigar-shaped bodies without wings or fine, spherical or balloon-shaped objects, and balls of light. Of the reports investigated by the American Air Force in the last five years, 23.54 per cent describe disk or spherical shapes, 8.25 per cent torpedo or cigar shapes, and 0.6 per cent balls of light.

Probably some of the sightings can be simply explained. They could be astronomical bodies or merely products of the imagination to be classified with leprechauns and mermaids. But there remains a hard core of well-documfnted evidence which seems to put the saucers beyond the- realm of natural phenomena. Of the 800 reports investigated by the air force, 15 per cent were of this nature.

One theory is that the saucers are aircraft from another planet. The possibility that life exists on other planets besides our own has been recognized by astronomers for many year In our solar system, life may exist on two other planets besides our own, Mars and Venus. It is believed that Wolf 359, eight light years from the earth, is the nearest star outside our universe likely to have inhabited planets. Theologians are paying increasing attention. to the religious implications of existence of intelligent beings on other planets. Against this background the thesis that the saucers are interplanetary aircraft seems less fantastic.

My own conclusion is that the interplanetary interpretation of flying saucers is the most plausible one on the evidence available. It is the only one which makes sense of the facts as reported. It fits in convincingly with astronomical data, and a close parallel can be drawn between the activities of the saucers and our own plans for space travel.

I am not alone in drawing this conclusion. Dr. Maurice 'Blot, a leading aerodynamicist, has stated, "The least improbable explanation is that these things are artificial and controlled.

His views are endorsed by Dr. Walther Diedel, once chief designer and director of research at the German rocket center at Peenemunde. The American air force intelligence is reported as "being continually astounded by the number of trained scientists who believe they are interplanetary in origin."

Whatever you may think about the saucers, you must agree that they pose a problem for every intelligent person.

ANOTHER SPJST MEMBER A SCHOLAR Twenty-five years ago, when the SPJST held its tenth convention in Temple, you could count the SPJST members with advanced university training on the fingers of one hand.

The minutes of the SPJST convention held in 1928 reveal that "Mr. Frank Luksa, president of the Czech Club at the University of Texas, appeared before the delegates and made a plea for higher education." Shortly thereafter, Mr. Luksa received his Ph. D. degree in Czechoslovakia.

The days are gone when only physician and some lawyers had college degrees. The days are gone when only the students who are financially well-off go to college. We now have many young people who do a full lay's work in daytime, some of them highly specialized jobs, and by night they attend night classes at colleges and universities, or pore over the books and take the examinations which are part of extension work and correspondence courses.

One of the admirable examples among the persons who work in daytime and study at night is Miss Ann Hornak, one of the two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hornak, of College Station.

Now, don't take these words to be a commonplace, sleek flattery by the editor of the Vestnik, just because Miss Ann's father is president of the Publication Committee and keeps a watchful eye on. my editorial stumbles. Let me reprint an article written by Miss Pat Manley, and published recently in the Houston Chronicle: Let's take it from somebody who does not know Brother Jos. Hornak, but who knows what his daughter can do. The article says: Ann Hornak Knows Books Blond, blue-eyed Ann Hornak, supervisor of work with children at public library, is a complete antithesis of the usual conception of a librarian.

In her twenties, Miss Hoinak has a B. A. degree in. English from the University of Texas; a B. S. in library science from University of Illinois, and is working on a master's , degree in education from the University of Houston.

Originally from College Station, she came here from a children's library in Pasadena, Cal., after working two years in Schenectady, N. Y. Work with children includes educational television and radio programs; exhibits at Norma Meldrum Memorial Room at the Central Library; supervising children's reading clubs; Junior Story Tellers;, two bookmobiles; five stations in schools and stores, and branches; a total of 14 agencies.

Besides these duties, attractive Miss Hornak orders all books, which are selected from approved book lists. She reads them, and selects records, for a new growing 300 record library. In July, the Norma Meldrum juvenile library acquired 112 new books; a total of 82,947 volumes, 3500 in the main branch, 500 McKinney.

One •ef the most interesting clubs for young people formed by Miss Hornak at the library is Junior Story Tellers.

This group of volunteer teen•age girls, and one boy memorize and tell stories every week to children at Faith Home, nursery schools, hospitals, etc.

During holidays they gave parties with music and games at library club room. In summer each Tuesday at 10:30

MISS ANN HORNAK Girl With Many Bodks a.m. Miss Hornak says that from 90 to 125 children come to see magic and puppet shows put on by Story Tellers.

As an aid to teachers and parents, Miss Hornak organized a reading club for children.

Part of her duties at juvenile library is giving talks concerning children's books to P. T.-A. and church groups.

"We help scouts earn merit and reading badges," said soft spoken Miss Hornak. "Music appreciation classes are

given by Houston Symphony Women's' Council each Tuesday before children's. concerts at the library. We also work. with Houston Civic Theatre, helping' with references on costuming and scenery."

When asked about comic books taking the place of teen-age reading material, Miss Hornak said that the library has books similar to comic books, only of better subject matter. Real addicts are weaned away gradually by giving them better and better reading material, until they are at, last content to read regular books.

Miss Hornak shares a ole-bedrooni, up and downstairs swimming pool apartment with her sister, a high school art teacher. She says that she has no hobbies. Going to school two nights a week; reading new children's books, and manuscripts from hopeful authors take up most of her spare moments.

So you see, Miss Ann is quite an active librarian, judging from the article in the Houston Chronicle. And quite a scholar: a B. A. degree from the University of Texas, a B. S. degree from the University of Illinois, and pretty soon a Master's degree from the University of Houston.

In fact, it was a close race between Miss Ann and her sister, Miss Lilian Hornak, as to which one would get the Master's degree first. Her sister Lilian somehow got the break. She received her Master's degree last week, August 28, at the University of Houston. But her sister Ann will catch up with her shortly.

Congratulations to both of you, young ladies. And congratulations to your parents. ) • 4, Farmer's Daughter The girl from the farm was visiting relatives in the city and her host was having a dinner for her. Finally coffee was served and a plate of marble cake was placed on the table. This was something new in the girl's experience as she had never seers this particular type of cake before.

"Well, I'll be darned," she murinured audibly, "if they ain't gone and invented a Holstein cake!"—Wall Street Journal. ) Fair Enough Roger Colman, six, telling why he was elected class president in Manhattan's public school where he started his first year in school: "President Truman is out, and he told me to take his place."

Wive odchazeli z reservaci bez jakekoli zaruky, 2e se jim podafi nekde se uchytiti; pracovali proste tam, kde se jim poAtestilo nalezti jakoukoli, obyeejne jen doeasnou praci.

Novefgi dobou nachazi v gak mnoho Indiana trvalou praci a domov v pramyslovYch mestech. Tuto zrnenu k lep gimu umoZnil jim Mad "Bureau of Indian Affairs", kterY je odpovednS7 za ochranu hospodarsk3i'ch1 zajnatl vladnich svetenctl, za nk jsou Indiani pokladani.

Pfitomna akce, jejima cilem je nalezti patfiene misto v hospodafskem a kulturnim Zivote teto zeme pro potomky prvnich obyvatela Severni Ameriky, je pomerne nova.

Podobne fii-adovny jsou i Chicagu, Los Angeles, Denveru a Salt Lake City. 1Vinozi Indiani, ktki touzili opustiti reservaci, nemohli vgak tak ueiniti, protke k tomu nemeli prostfedkft. V lednu 1952 podal proto Mad, starajici se o blaho Indiana, poskytovati takovYmto lidem finaneni pomoc: platil jejich cestovni vDohy a po dobu prvnich tS7dna po pfesidleni do mesta vyplacel ye rodiny $30 Vdne a $10 Wile na dello elena rodiny, kterST byl na Takovato pomoc poskytuje se toliko po pfedchozirn zaji gteni prace pro Indiana, ktery hodla reservaci opustiti.
