Kdy2 nalVvali majetku, tak za nimi Tatati, kteti loupili a vra2dili Slovany. Lee Slovani byli svorni, tak je v2dy odrazili a zahnali zpatky.

Pak nasledovali Avati, kteii tak dopadli, jako jejich ptedchfidci. Pak Hunove, nynejel Mad'ati, take narod divokY, kterY se usadil v Uhrach, v nejfirodnejii krajine Evropy, a Slovany zatlaell vice k severu. Pozdeji, kdy pkiili na Moravu verozvestove, Cyril a Metodej, kteti hlasali ktest'anstvi, tak Slovane nechali se pokktit.Na datum, v kterSrch letech se to odehrayalo, se ji2 nepamatuji.

(Mai to dobie, jenom pozpatku: napted Hunove ve 4. stoleti; pak eesIcY knile Samo a Avati v 7. stoleti; pak Svatopluk a Mad'ai'i; a koneene Tataii a bitva u Host3'ina, na kterou se jiste pamatujei ze stare Ceske ditanky: "Ajta, Jaroslav jak ores lete: t yrdir ocel na moiracech prsech, pod oceli chrabrost, udatenstvi, pod helmiciu velebyster vehlas. 6e gi za nim, jako krupobiti."—Red.)

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR OPEN HOUSE MEETING, HELD BY Stefanik Lodge No. 142 on Sunday, February 7, was really a pleasant surprise for every member and visitor present.

It was the first time in the recollection of your editor that a "drill team" was used in the iniation of new members. * * SHOULD YOU WISH TO KNOW WHAT the drill team looked like, I would have a suggestion to make District One could arrange, a public initiation of new members, say, those who came in since the 1st of January. Or District Six could do the same when the district has its meeting at East Bernard. Neither Nelsonville nor East Bernard are very far from Houston. You could invite these twelve charming gills in their attractive redand - white uniforms to assist you in the public initiation. It would mean so much for those bashful girls. It would be the right kind of recognition to the originator of the idea, Sister Amelia Sturm.

•

•

ALL THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED to make the public initiation a huge success would be some memory work on the part of the initiating officer. Then you would have to have a flag of the United States and a flag of Texas. Then you would have to ask the small fry to keep quiet, not to be enjoying the echo of the stomping feet on the floor. And you may want to remind some of the grownups to refrain from talking to one another while the initiation is going on.

Then you would have to have a portable record player with some pleasing march being played for the drill team, And finally, you would have to have some co-operation f to in the organizers to round up their newly secured members to come to the district meeting. Is that asking tco much for a new venture?

•

•

OUR ORGANIZERS ARE TO RECEIVE a series of lectures at the proposed meetings. Kindly remember the dates: February 21, in West, the organizers Of District Two and Three. The meeting starts at nine, instead of ten. Be on time, because there is plenty of material to be discussed. It will be a discussion from start to finish, no windy

talks, during which you could take an undisturbed nap. The same applies to the meeting of organizers in 'District Six and One, which is' to be held at La Grange, February 28. It also starts at nine in the omorning. Organizers of District F i v e will be slightly shortchanged, 'because they will meet February 22 for an evening session at the hall of Pokrok Houston Lodge No. 88.

The meeting will start at 7:30 and will be- only three hours long. The matter will be very much condensed, given in concentrated form, but most of those organizers are go-getters. Still, they need additional in formation about the new visual aid kits which will be loaned to every organizer who comes to the meeting. No delivery by mail, because it won't work effectively. The organizers of District Seven will meet in Floresville on Sunday', March 21. Try to be at these meetings.

IN ORDER TO SHOW YOU THE IMportance of these meetings, let me give you a preview of what will be discussed.

The Supreme Lodge has adopted a new certificate. Our actuary, Brother Mims of Fort Worth, had worked out the tables quite a While back. When one of the Houston organizers, Sister Louise Kadlecek, got hold of this new certificate and the rates, she right away sold the first insurance for $9,000.00 She would have sold the maximum of ten thousand, but the member already had $1,000. This certificate is so good that anyone with the ability to fill out application should sell at least $50,000.00 a year. Now, the value of the certificate will be explained to the organizers, and visual aid going with it will be loaned to every one who wants to work. ThiS is no hot air. Brother Mims told us that we shOuld sell this type of protection with no effort. It _is almost like bringing the dadS and granddads to t h e door of the old lodge halls. They flocked in without coaxing. They needed the protection. And now we have something which will appeal to every prospect. * * YOUR EDITOR IS AGAIN ON A RAMpage, writing pararaph after paragraph

of repetition. about insurance. Some members think it is boring. Some put it in the Vestnik. But if you turn to another page you may read a letter from another member who thinks that .t h e editor should keep on stressing the importance and the education of all our field man.

"As long as you keep hammering home the facts, you will always find people willing to read and listen." So I keep. on hammering, even if it is boring. I am being paid for hammering.

THIS ISSUE BRINGS TO OUR readers the pictures of the first-prize winners in the Essay Contest. It also gives you a picture of what goes on in the minds of the younger members. The top winners are Sylvia Laznovsky, of Ennis, in District Three, and Janis Kahanek, of Houston, in District Five. Don't fail to read their essays: As soon as we get the pictures of the other winning contestants, we will publish their pictures and essays. Congratulations to you, Sylvia and Janis. * * IN SPITE OF ALL THE TALK OF avoiding two district meetings on the same date, something again went haywire. District. Three had selected April 25 as the date of its next meeting. It was decided on at the last district meeting in Ennis. Somehow the committee of District One, who later looked for a favorable day, selected the same Sunday.

Now, who is to be blamed? District Three? Committee of District One? Or the Supreme Lodge? Or president Marek? Don't ask me. I am only presenting a report as it comes to me. ) DEADLINE FOR ARTICLES, REPORTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS The deadline for the publication of articles, announcements, and reports is FRIDAY NOON. Don't send it to the printing office. It must be sent to the editor. Any article received later — provided it is still newsworthy — will appear in the following issue. Please co-operate with,us by adhering to the deadline. )• • t— The easiest way to get into trouble is to be right at the wrong time.—Homer D. King, Hemet (Calif.) News.

Our Youth Movement y

irclie Washer •-■•■■••••••••—mrsosormswaser

Few mont' s ago, I suggested in my editorial a Fraternal Song for our SRIST throughout the state to be used by all members in all our lodges to help create activity, sociability, stability, publicity, and recognition for our SPJST throughout our State.

SPJST FRATERNITY SONG

It's the pride and all our glory— Our SPJST And its life like a story— Part of Texas history.

We have life with full protection, Our safety guaranteed-Love of Brotherhood — Always underAs you know, most of our colleges, stood schools, organizations, and different In our SPJST. clubs have a song of their own, and no matter where you hear their song, you Like it? Wait till you hear the melody. immediately know who they are and You'll love it! that is what we will have—A SONG OF Be proud that you are an SPJST OUR OWN.

It's where people are in Czechoslovakia under the best artists the happiest and have the gayest times and also here in the United. States along that others want to join, so let's all with .eroiessor Jirak who is a professor do our part and let's all be proud and and Ducf or of Music, now the Dean of happy, gay and friendly to our fellow Roosevelt College of Music in Chicago. members and do all we can for one Because of the fact that we are a another in a fraternal way — such as Czech organization, I was able to obtain it should be -- work together with the this song with the words and music for Youth and help each other.

It's of songs, woo I feel we are very fortunate this working together in a fraternal in obtaining same for so little. way that will make us happy and will make us happy and will help encourage We are going to have its as soon as we get our copyrights, and friends and relatives to join us.

It is always good to sing a few songs send you a copy. It has a snappy, catchy tune which I am sure all of you will at any gathering — somehow it makes like. Out of fourteen melodies, this one everyone brighten up and feel happy of ours is tops, and no matter who that they had.F part in it too— whatheard them — it was always this cer- ever it was yiki were having. Singing tain one- they liked, and when pry- always brings out smiles and happiness, rented to our Board of Directors, it was and forms closer relationships amongst also liked; so I do sincerely hope it the people. Try it, you'll see. Always will please you, too, and that you will begin and end with our fraternal song, sing it every chance you get, and really of course, so that we will popularize make it known that it is our song. Sing it throughout, and so everyone will know it in the meetings, parties, social gather- who we are.

This is nothing new I am writing ings, everywhere you can. about. All of you know that as, well The children will enjoy it too, and as I, as I am sure you get about and will love to march or drill to it as well around to different social gatherings, as sing it It can be sung by our Pep- activities, meetings and conventions and (ds in the future at our ball games, see how well things like this work, and or it can be played by a brass or school what progressive achievements are beneband. It is a song that can be used fited from it. This is why, so long ago anywhere by our SPJST with pride and I mentioned a fraternal song, and since dignity. It is written in Czech and Eng- nothing was being done about it, I lish and more verses can be added by took it upon myself to see what I you if you like, but this is it as it is: could do for the good of all of us, and

Wednesday, February 17, 1954 whatever I do is always fo 'r the best interest of all of us, believe me — no personalities ever involved. And as I stated several times before — I am turning in to you experienced material proved successful in other organizations which we do not have to first experience with, spending lot of money doing it, but can just take it and carry on with it successfully as others have experienced. And, in order to build up this YOUTH in our lodges, will depend on YOU'and ALL OF YOU working together to build' up our lodges in attendance, activities, and membership and building it so that it would be a pleasure for everyone to come to every chance they could. A home where the young and old would co-operate, work and play and share together and have fun doing it. A happy place where we could bring our friends to and make them feel so at home that they too will want to become members just to be with us. Make it a. home for the whole families to comp to and have that feeling of belonging. One must mix a little pleasure with the business too, and needless to say, we like to have fun just as well as our children, so why not encourage all our youth to come out with you and all have fun together. You know that if More of you parents would bring your children out to our lodges, they wold soon make it a point to come all the time especially if you showed interest in them and let them help you as well as you helping them.

Some organizations are giving dancing lessons, lessons in fishing, fireworks, hunting, and singing, etc. throughout their lodges for the Youth's benefit and create more lif e within the lodges, and most of which is paid out of the grand lodge funds. We have no such fund as yet established to take care of our Youth, and therefore we will have to support our own Youth Activities in each lodge individually until other arrangements can be made.

It is regrettable, but true — we have failed our Youth in the past, but we must now be thinking of making some provisions for them in the future in order to make good progress in all our lodges and as an organization as a whole. The sooner, the better.

Speaking of these lessons, I am trying out a little something here at Lodge 88, and if will work and prove successful, I will relate same to all lodges to work by. It will be a good "drawing card" as well as good advertising for our SPJST organization, and a wonderful way to help our youth and also prevent some Youth Delinquency (such is the term we will use to get free press and

Wednesday, February 17, 1954 air publicity in sponsoring a charitable act to help Youth Delinquency in teaching the children something educational and keeping them out of mischief.) We are going to give voice and singing lessons and assorted dancing along . with ballreom dancing each week all free.

To belong to Youth Club, it will cost each child only a, quarter, but will get all lessons free, parties, and maybe a birthday gift tco—if funds will stretch that far. Competent teachers of high ability will teach these children, and same will be opened to the membership as well as their relatives and friends in order to bring in more children and parents amongst us in our lodge and later have • our organizers contact sonic of these to become members.

This is only a beneficial plan, but good advertising, as well as a wonderful .opportunity to increase in our membership, and most important of all we will be giving our YOUTH the educational opportunity of taking these sons free which some of the parents would like for the children to have, but just simply can't afford it — pecially when there are more than one in the family. Others again can afford it, would have the opportunity of saving and still giving their children more for that quarter a week — the lessons, the fun and pleasure they would derive from the companionship of other children as well as parties and 'other activities which we will plan for them.

And, at the same time, the tuition will help us along in sponsoring this prdject along with the Youth Benefit Dances we are .planning to have this year.

If this proves successful and is selfsupporting achievement I think it will be a very good example for all our lodges to follow in helping their Youth in the same way, along with helping themselves. More details will be sent out to all lodge Youth Directors, so if you do not have one appointed in your lodge, please try to do so in your next meeting or so, as I would like to corn.plete my list for mailing. Be sure to turn in your Yout•tDirector's name to President Marek as soon as possible, so that I may be better able to help your lodge with its Youth.

Simple by-laws are in the making for each Youth Director and same will be mailed out to you upon the correction and passing of them by the Board so that each one would have something definite to go by. For the present, do the best you can, and if I can be of any help to you at any time, just let me know. I enjoy working with you very much.

Wednesday, February. 17, 1954 Skrabanek, Charlie Navratil, Editor Vale*, and President Marek. This committee requested the adoption of the Double Indemnity Insurance beginning at age 10.

Upon motion by Director Navratil, seconded by Vice-President Kubena and unanimously carried, it was agreed that the minimum age limit for D. I. Insur-: ante should be lowered to the age of 10, this making available the D. I. Insurance in"'otir Order to members from 10 to 55'years of 'age.

The'. Committee recommended the monthly installment payment plan on the educational option on our educational policy to be granted starting with $1000.00 optional death settlements to be granted on certificates starting with $3000.00.

The committee explained the 5-point prograni for the Organization work as follows: • (1) Visual Aids (2), Organizers lectures (3) Publicity (4) Rejuvenating dormant lodges (5) Public Initiations The committee also recommended the adoption of a mortgage protection insurance in conjuction with a life insurance plan, The above mentioned recommendations were adopted by the Supreme Lodge.

In the matter of appointing br.•Valcik as. a representative or Supervisor in the' Organizational work for promoting the organizational work of the Order, the Committee pointed out these facts that they took the year 1951 as a base on which to calculate the amount of commissions paid, etc. In 1951 we wrote $11/4 million of new insurance. The first year premium •amounted to approximately..$32,000.00 The total commissions paid were $18,600.00. The commission for each $1000.00 was $15.25 and the commission percentage was $58.34 of the first year's premiums.. Basing our figures on a $3 million new insurance to be written in 1954, the committee recommended the paying of 9 per cent overriding commission to brother Valcik during Feb. 1st and ending on the 3rd Supreme Lodge meeting of this year that being July 12, 1954. The figures adopted for this $3 million new insurance drive of 1951 are: Total first ' year's premiums would amount to approximately $77,000.00. Total commissions would be $41,885.00 and 9 per cent overriding commission would be. -$6,912.00. :T h e Organizations Committee's requests. were granted by the Supreme L • .

By common consent it was agreed that President Marek should contact our actuary Mr. Mims, relative to working out the premiums, rates, values, etc., on the new class of certificates to be known as certificate class "M-C", which it is contemplated we shall adopt, and make a report on it in the next meeting of the Supreme Lodge.

By common consent it was agreed that all receipts to Moucka Fund shall be acknowledged in the Vestnik.

Upon motion by Financial-Secretary Urbanovsky, seconded by Director Cervenka and carried, it was agreed that the same scale of refund to .old members shall be followed in 1954 as we followed in previous years, namely, that members of 70 years of age that have been members 35 years or more be given the 25 per cent discount of their original premiums and members 75 years of age that have been members 35 years or more be given 50 per cent discount of their original rates.

• & • ( A MILLION YEARS FROM NOW It's worrisome enough to wonder what's going to happen to you tomorrow.

Charles Valton Darwin takes an inhumanly long view of what's ahead for the human race in his book The Next Million Years ((Doubleday, $2.75). Grandson of Charles Darwin, and a distinguished physicist in his own right, he bases his views of mankind's future upon scientific evidence that he considers more than ample to justify a forecast of the shape of things to come.

You will probably be shocked by this forecast of what is in store for mankind. Here are some highlights of Darwin's amazing predictions of the future: There will always be a starving margin of humanity who have got to die,

Strana 15 simply because not enough food can be grown to keep them alive. No matter how much food the efforts of manking produce, there will always be exactly the right number of people to eat it. A suddenly increased supply of food brings the population to a new level, and after that things will go on as before but with a larger starving margin in the larger population.

Occasional "golden ages" will arise, but we are now near the end of what is probably the greatest of golden ages, enduring for the past century.

A few 'hundred years will exhaust the world's supply of coal and oil and a very great change in world economics is inevitable. Atomic and other sources of energy, Darwin concludes, will never yield the fabulous amounts needed.

Chief centers of power production will be in mountainous areas where water power is available, and there will be large "power farms" in various parts of the world, in general conflict with plainsdwelling agricultural areas. "In the hard world of the future, with its starving margins," Darwin writes, "it is to be feared that all too often a fraction of humanity will have to live in a state which, whatever it may be called, will be indistinguashable from slavery."

Will there ba a • "One World" government? Darwin doubts it. The world will be a sort of museum of different methods of ruling mankind. "Whatever forms the government may take, there can be little doubt that the world will spontaneously divide itself into what I shall call provinces. It is to be expected that a single government of the earth will not arise very frequently. For the government of the separate provinces it is no use hoping that democracy could often be possible, for the very simple reason that a hungry man will vote for his next meal rather than for reasons of state."

Perhaps we had better enjoy our golden age while we can and feel blessed that we don't have to live a million years from now.

HAVE YOU ENOUGH PROTECTION? We must not lose sight of the fact that with the increase in the cost of living comes an increase in the cost of burial. None of us likes to dwell on this subject, yet it is one each of us dz should consider. ) o People would be only too glad to attend to their own business--if the government would give it back.—Dan Bennett.

The Winner in Among the contestants fOr the Essay Contest award in District Five, 12-year old Janis Kahanck, of Houston, was aWarded the first place. The award consists of $30 in cash from the District Five, -and- a membership certificate from e Supreme Lodge.-The time for delivering the award will be announced by the district officers very shortly.

We-are pleased to pUblish the winner's picture and her 'essay which reads: WHY I LIKE THE S.P.J.S.T. Since I am only:12 years old, I do not know too much about life insurance; nevertheless, I do know that, our S.P.J. a wonderful organization. It ,offers :protection in the way of insurance so, that in case of : death, there will be money to meet financial emergencies— insurance that _means- security for those left behind and in other cases a form of savings for educational purposes.

I admit that it has various classes of insurance at very good rates, but down deep in my heart, I feel that our S.P.J. S.T. is more than just another insurance company and . means much more-than just protection.

Through our many Lodges, we are offered a place to meet where not only our parents, but 'we children of ,Czech descent can learn something about the CZech language and customs—a place of .-'gobd, wholesome entertainment.

How I dearly love to go to the Czech gatherings at our various S.P.J.S.T. lodges, especially when the members dress in those beautiful, colorful_ Czech costumes and serve that wonderful Czech -fOod and those "yuMmy" kolake.

Janis Kalianek I love the gaiety of the members at the Czech sing-songs to the accompaniment of an accordion; Also the Czech plays and dances. I enjoy very much taking part in the children's programs and the entertainment planned for them. These gatherings make me realize how free we are in America to have such gay entertainment.

Even though there are times I dislike a few things about the S.P.J.S.T., these are overshadowed by its many, many good qualities.

things for all of us. To my surprise, this past Wednesday night, 74 young students came out ready to take dancing and singing, and registrations are still pouring in. Parents have been calling saying how wonderful it was of our SPJST to be able to sponsor such a wonderful project, and it was about time someone did something for our children. Others called if they could enroll their children, and said how wonderful it was and what wonderful companionship it will be for the children to be together and study together (something that it fun) and still have a night of their own each Wednesday night. Others called afterwards saying how much their .children have enjoyed themselves and how they can hardly wait till next Wednesday night again, and could they bring their cousins or someone. Parents called to see if they could help in any way at anytime — just to let them know, as we were doing something wonderful for the Youth in the SPJST , that no other fraternal organization ever thinks of their children like we do ours, and of course this was a good opportunity for me to ask them to join us sometime and be one of us. So you see, it all works together.

We have over 100 children registered already, and are giving three voice and singing lessons, and will have five dancing classes one right after the other.

Once a month, there will be a party for all the children, and a birthday present sent to each one enrolled to his home on his birthday. marked "From SPJST;' This will make them very happy and will be more advertising again. It's the little things you do for children that they never forget, and even though they are not members now — you can rest assured, we will be the first they will come to for insurance.

So don't forget, if you have children or know of some children that would like to take these lessons, be sure and be at 1140 Robbie in Houston every Wednesday night at 7:15 p. m. They will be out at 9:30 and have plenty of time to get a good night's rest for school next day.

All girls had the same length which was two inches below the knees thus making all skirts even as they drilled.

A red military cap made from the same material as the skirt with Stefanik embroidered in white on left side of cap; white ribbed socks and black loafers make up the girls uniforms.

These uniforms were designed by me; the idea of the drill is also mine. I'm not saying this for egotism or wanting praise, but I am offering them to you as a beginning initiation to all lodges.

Take my ideas and use them as they are or arrange them and add them to your own ideas. You are most welcome to them. The main thing is, let's all of us go ahead in our Fraternal work.

After the team initiation, Bros. Chupick and Skrabanek initiated the new members by the Pledge of Allegiance, oath and rules; then we continued our special program as follows: 1. Handsome 7-year old Charlie Chupick Jr. played on his accordian. He played three melodies: one in English, one in Czech and one in German. You really surprised me, Charlie Keep it up and one of these days we'll be dancing to your accordian.

2. Little precious Karleen Krustchinsky, who is only four, tapped for us to "Glow Worm." She wore black velvet bodice and shorts with pink ruffled skirt. You're mighty sweet Karleen, we are looking for another dance soon.

3. Marilyn Becan and Gayle Sturm, 7-year-old blonde and brunette dolls, sang and waltzed their version of Cerveny Satecku or Red Handkerchief. You both did fine. You did show our audience that Czech language is not too hard to learn even if you're just seven 4. Our pretty blonde Thalia Stehlik, who so beautifully played "Humoresque"

Her gown was of white satin and net very full flare skirt, ankle length, red pointsettias, appliqued in sequins were scattered over the bodice and skirt of the gown, a big pointsetta in her hair and white satin ballerinas completed her ensemble.

fever." Willie had asked for Bud Taft, and the staunch little pal spent much time at the bedside. The President found him there late one night. Lincoln laid his arm across Bud's shoulder to stroke, as so often, the boyish head on the pillow. Then he said gently, "You ought to go to bed.'Bud." Bud answered simply, "If I go he will call for me." Later Lincoln found the faithful little fellow fast asleep beside his friend, and carried him tenderly off to bed.

After Willie was declared in danger, Mary did not leave his bedside. The prolonged, agonizing watch wore her out.

Tad was taken ill a too, apparently with the same disease, and the Lincolns suffered double anxiety.

Choked with sobs, he tried to express his acceptance Of God's will, but his worde strayed into that pitiful cry of bereave, parents through the ages. "We loved so."

The sight of the still, white face threw the exhausted mother into convulsions.

She had not in her the strength, balance and maturity to meet disaster. Tad, toe was very ill, but not even his need could force her to muster he self-control. She had been like a Ugh-hearted child, playing in a drama with gorgeous costumes and dazzling settings. She would in time try to solace herself with these things again and find them shoddy trappings.

The Lincolias had already lost to death one child, Eddie, their second son. But with the help of youth, the birth of two more children, and the surroundings of home, Mary had rallied from this loss. `Now, youth was behind her, her health was impaired, and she was in the midst of war, suspicion, criticism, slander, and hate. She would never recover from this blow.

There was a violent storm in Washington the day of Willie's funeral. Roofs were blown off, steeples toppled. Nature seemed to be in a convulsion of grief, like the woman who lay desperately ill in the White House.

In time, Tad recovered. The roofs and steeples were repaired. But for Mary Ljncoln, there could be no restoration.

The Story of the Close Shave (By Thurman D. Kane) When Peter the Great clapped taxes on bearded Slays in the 17th Century, he little suspected he was founding a modern industry. Americans and Europeans today pay nearly 1/1 billion doles a year for the pleasure of appearing clean-shaven in society.

Today, most m e n, obeying modern society 's demand for the "clean-cut" male, observe, with resignation, the ritual of the daily shave. But once the shave was the luxury of the rich, who could afford barbers, or of the brave, who were willing to chance it with a straight razor.

In the dawn of history, the beard was sign of manhood. In those untutored s. a beard supposedly manifested the isualWes 01 virility which the rippling muscles of a beach Atlas do for us toclay.

But the advance of civilization had ther ideas. r'or example, Alexander the feat took the unprecedented step of _;tiering his infantry to barber their .aces so the enemy would have nothing o grab on to during the battle.

Egyptian, Assyrian and Persian art, eflecting the older, most ancient civilzations, pictures all men with beards.

Roman portraits, however, generally carry no excess strands sprouting from the vicinity of the jaw. Different cultures thus exacted different requirements of their citizens.

About this time, when the Romans were blitzkrieging the entire known world, the word barbarian, employed to describe the bribes who were not related to the "glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome," actually meant an uncouth, vulgar, uncivilized, bearded man. Thus, today, the word barbarian and barber are both in our language, stemming from the same root, the Latin word barba, meaning beard.

Today, it's the later who keeps you from looking like the former.

Implements from tilo early Iron Age have been found and identified as the earliest know razors. But these early clean-shavers were merely ineffective dams against the inevitable outgrowth of the beard.

Up to 50 years ago, it was still an uneven struggle; man attempting to de card himself, stymied in the try by naherself who keeps us hirsute, perhaps in memory of our furry origin; and oto * ( by the surgeon-like skill required to Early to bed and early Ito rise—till you manipulate the straight razor. make enough cash to do otherwise.

But in the beard ,Ippal (flatly

gasped its la..st, dissolving beneath the pitiless scythe of the safet y razor, whose inventor was King C. Gillette.

Before that, in the days of the straight razor, the custom of daily shaving was practically unheard of. Unless a man could qualify as an expert swordsman or was wealthy enough to have a valet, he had to go to the barber shop to have his whiskers hacked off, a time-consuming, expensive and often painful process.

The first job, then, was to educate a nation, educate a world to the regular usage of the safety razor. "Shave Yourself" was a much used catch-line in Gillette advertising of 1904, '05, '06.

The blade we use for a shave or two and then discard has earned its place on the shelves of druggists and grocers around the world. Merely to produce it, however, requires more care than some babies get.

A fine razor blade's edge actually measures four one-millionths of an inch.

Steel capable of taking such fine edges must be poured, hot-rolled and coldrolled in accordance with exacting specifications for width, thickness and metallurgical characteristics. Uniformity of quality is the ultimate goal in the making of blades.

In all, there are seventy-one separate inspections by highly skilled technicians in the making of a fine blade. These inspections start at the source of the steel supply and are continuous through the slitting, perforating, hardening, etching, lacquering, sharpening and packaging processes.

To sharpen a blade edge to four onemillionths of an inch requires highly skilled technicians and machines which are marvels of modez:n engineering skill.

Each unit is adjustable to one tenthousandth of an inch—as fine an adjustment as is possible on watchmaking machinery. In all, the blade is finished on 100 square feet of sharpening surface.

Having won approval in one severe test after another—the blades are sent to final inspection for their last check before packing.

Thanks to King C. Gillette and his inspiration, every man has a daily social duty to engineer his own appearance with a close shave. )*4* Spring is the reason when an otherWise rational man „schemet to make grass grow so he'll have to sweat keeping it cut all summer.--Cincinnati Enquirer.

There are indications that the Greeks played billiards as early as 400 B. C. According to the record, the Spaniards first introduced the game of billiards in. this country at St. Augustine, Florida in 1565. It was not until 1859, however, that the first championship match was playecL Michael Phelan was the first United States champion, and he held the crown until 1863.

On a hot September night, in 1865, one of the strangest incidents in the history of billiards occurred. Washington Hall at Rochester, New York, was crowded with sports fans. Two great, billiard artists, Louis Fox and John Dcery, were meeting for the championship.

Decry, an easy-going, jovial player, and Fox, a rather temperamental man, had met the year before, but the match had ended in a tie. Each 'man was determined this would not happen again!

When the rematch began, Louis Fox made the break. And, as play progres(Continued on page 22)

du, d.ne 17. finora 1954.

WHEN DE INQUENCY BEGINS One can scarcely read a newspaper these days without an item on child crime. Every week there is an announcement of some new committee appointed to investigate juvenile delinquency.

Recently, Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, disclosed that in the past four years the juvenile delinquency started to grow like a swollen, spreading sore, and that it grows at a faster rate than the child population.

Federal, state and local authorities declare that child delinquency is too big a problem for local communities to handle alone. But that declaration does not uncover delinquency's roots_. To do that, would it not be logical to find out when delinquency begins?

A United States government study of a group of delinquents revealed: Almost a half of the group were giving noticeable signs of becoming delinquents at the age of eight or younger. Delinquency begins early. Another authority revealed: "A 'potentially dangerous delinquent can usually be discovered at about 8, his behavior become obviously delinquent at about 11."—Newsweek, November 9, 1953.

That delinquency definitely does begin early is borne out by everyday reading of newspapers. At Anchorage, Alaska, a 9-year-old boy stabbed a 5-yearold girl to death; the body had more than 100 stab wounds. In New Orleans, capture of an 8-year-old led to discovery of a "club" dedicated to Adolf Hitler; children "qualified" by throwing rocks at street lights. The F.B.I's observation on auto theft arrests: more than half were children under 17! Brooklyn police in July, 1953, broke up a threatened pitched battle between rival gangs of girl warriors fighting over affections of a boy. About 30 teen-age girls had formed battle lines when police intervened. Their weapons: switchblade knives, butcher knives, pen-knives and ice picks. Of eight girls arrested by police, one was 13, another 14, and two 15. Remarked the assistant district attorney: "We expect the girls to ,restrain the boys from gang fights. If these girls, the mothers of tomorrow, start gang-fighting themselves, what will the future hold?" in Arkansas two young boys, aged 7 and 9, slipped out of bed and lobted a gasoline station while the parents were out nightclubbing. In Utah, a 14-yearold gun moll, after exchanging shots with policemen, complained: "I hate cops; I wish I had got me one." At Miami, Florida, police, following the trail of

stolen hypodermic needles, flushed out four juvenile gang members. Smallest: a redhead 12-year-old with head buried ostrichlike in the sand. Hauled out, he screamed: "Why don't you shoot? I've had cops shcotirig, at me before."

At White Plains, New York, a 9-yearold boy told police that he was the leader of a gang of juvenile thieves responsible for 26 burglaries. The 9-year-old leader opened safes by touch. At police headquarters, while detectives were busy, the youth opened the police safe. Utterly amazed and Mill disbelieving, the detectives locked the safe and defied the boy to open it again — which he did.

The boy-leader's accomplices in the burglaries: youths 8, 9 and 11 years old!

Do we need more evidence that delinquency begins early? Note this case history of a New York boy. Five years old: He stole a bicycle, though just given one by well-to-do parents. Six years old: He set fire to two cars. Seven years old: He broke into an office building and stole $30. Eight years old: He broke into neighbors' homes seeking money; when he found none he set them afire.

Nine years old: He assaulted a 3-yearokl boy; beat to point of death a 14year-old girl. Ten years old: Today no institution will touch him. He is "too tough to handle." Thus delinquency begins early. Reported the director of Philadelphia's Youth Study Center: 8- to 12-year-olds are now moving in on graver crimes (burglaries, holdups, assaults) once the sole territory of youths 15 and up. One youth who had been robbing since the age of four told policemen: "You don't scare me, coppers—you can't turn me in. I'm not 7 yet!"

Armed with the fact that delinquency begins early we begin to question the "wisdom" of the psychiatrists and psychologists who tell us, that today's parents are doing excellent jobs, and that modern child.ren should be allowed to develop according to their own inclinations. The child psychiatrists tell us in effect: "Train up a child in the way he wants to go." Does it make sense?

Is it logical? What way does a child naturally want to go? Is it not the delinquent way?

In discussing the causes of child crime the head of the F.B.I., J. Edgar Hoover, declared: "The most important cause is what should be called parental deliquency." (New York Herald Tribune, March 9, 1952) Uncovered is one of the main roots ' of delinquency's malignant growth—parental delinquency! Do not children learn quiekest by imitating someone? Parents are the logical ones

to imitate. And yet these adults are figuring in the greatest moral breakdown in all history. Can we expect their tots and toddlers to be unaffected? The adults need discipline themselves. No wonder they are delinquent in disciplining their children.

A FLY DETERMINED A CHAMPIONSHIP

(Continued from page 21) ecl, he took a commanding lead over his opponent, Dec y.

But, near the end of the match, as Fox was preparing to shoot, he noticed a black spot on the cue , ball. It was, of all things, a fly. The crowd chuckled, and even Fox smiled as he bruised the fly away.

Fox started to size up the play again, and that same fly circled the table and once more landed on the shining ivory.

The crowd laughed again, but this time Louis Fox did not sniile.r He merely waved his hand over the ball, and .onpe more the buzzing fly soared overhead and once again came to rest on 'the cue ball. The crowd was roaring with laughter. John Decry casually smiled.

Louis Fox stepped back, his face red with rage and then, with the cue stick in his hand, he swatted the fly. But to his misfortune, he had also hit the cue ball. This was championship play, and his accidental shot was counted.

Then, Decry started a sensational run and made shot after shot until he finally reached the 2000 mark, winning the match and championship. Louis Fox stood motionless; he was purple with anger; then suddenly he threw down his cue and walked out of the hall. He ran down the street until he reached the Genesee River. And, before anyone could stop him, Louis Fox jumped in and drowned.

Yes, on September 7th, 1865, a fly determined a billiard championship and caused the death of Louis Fox. In the annals of sports, this story, because it is almost fantastically unbelievable, stands as one of the most fascinating. )•A• If a man has anything in him, travel will bring it out—especially ocean travel.—Frances Rodman.
