Velika zodpovednost spoeiva na nicich distriktu. Nekde to zodpovednost je vlo2ena do rukou planovaciho vYboru.

Nekde planovaci vYbor a distriktni Mednici pracuji spoleene.

Distriktni Utednici a planovaci vYbor museji se napied dohodnout, kolik rozmanitYch veci chteji svou pti gti distriktni schtizi dociliti. Jestli nemate 2adny cil, to radeji nepotadejte 2adnou schazi.

Jsem tomu rdcla, ze jsern mela ptilelitost to vie jednou shlednout, aby mne tarn neco tahlo zpet, jako Wasbintton aneb Chicago, to nikdy ne.

Prvni den jsme vzaly objad'ku viech tech mrakodrapii, Wall' Street, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, }Herald Square a vice jinYch z ylagtnich mist. Vzalo by to dlouho popisovat.

NeZli jsme ptijely zpatky k hotelu, za'tylem nas bolelo, ani hlavu jsme nemohli dat dolu. Nelitovaly jsme toho.

Do 'Ina nas krky nebolely a my byly zase o jednu zku genost bohatii. Videly jsme New York Skyline.

DruhY den na ge cesta byla vice zajimava.

Reports from Lodges, biographies, etc., intended for implication, must be in the hands of the Editor a week before the date of issue. Address all editorial matters to: Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston 7, Tex.

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, TEMPLE, TEXAS

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR BEFORE I PROCEED WITH EDITORial rambling, let me make an important announcement. Ycu may not have a chance to read the entire page, so it is better to let your eyes catch it at the beginning. The issue of the Vestnik published on September 29, that is two weeks from today, will be short on reports, announcements and news from local lodges, Unless you, dear reporters, get busy and send it to the editor right away. The editor is leaving for Atlantic City Friday, September 24. The Nation:4 Fraternal Congress has a convention there during the last, four days of September.

• -1 ILE I AM AWAY FROM HOME, there will be no one to receive my mail, Pre pare the manuscript for the printer, and to do all those little things which the editor is supposed to do. But if your report teaches me before Friday, September 24, I'll have your letter or your announcement in the following issue If yoUr report should come just one day later, it will simply have to wait a whole week for my return, and another week to be ,published, • AND NOW LET ME TALK ABOUT something far more important than my absence. This coming Sunday, September 19, District One will have a meeting at Novy• Tabor Lodge No. 17, at the new home of Lcdge 17 about three miles east of Caldwell. The delegates and representatives of all local ledges in District One should be there. The noon meal -will be served between eleven and one o'clock. The meeting will start promptly at one o'clock. * • I WISH TO STRESS THE IMPORtance of this meeting. There is a good reason why I say that all the local Ridges in District One; should be represehted at this meeting. The estimation in Which your lodge is, held at home and among other lodges will be judged by your presence or your absence at this meeting. The reputation and the good standing of the entire District One will be at stake by not having the delegate from your lodge at this meeting. This statement 1 ,, true; don't take it to be a press-agent's talk, Let ine ex plain more

fully.

• « DISTRICT ONE HAS THE DISTINCtion of having more local lodges than any other of the seven SPJST districts.

District One *embraces one-half of the original lodges which •came into -existence in 1897 when the SPJST was organized. District One has more local organizers than any other SPJST district. One-sixth of the entire SPJST membership is located- in District One. If you look at the honor roll published two weeks back, you. will find that more than one-half of the living charter members are in District One, and that the majority of members, other than charter, who are entitled to 50-year membership pins, are also living in District One. And that is not all—District One has the distinction -of being the cnly district among the seven SPJST districts that furnished three of its members to serve as leaders in the governing body of thirteen. * * NOW LET ME PRESENT THE OTHER side of the picture, the seamy side, the less pleasant. The last meeting of District One was held in the spring at Nelsonville. Your editor was not at that meeting—being elsewhere that Sunday— but it was reported that the attendance was between 2,500 and 3,000 people. And how many of those original lodges sent their representatives to the meeting at Nelsonville? Only four lodges. And how many lodges from the entire District One were represented? Only twelve. The oldest lodges, the nearest lodges, the ones that used to lead in everything did not show up. Director Stepan mailed personal invitations to all lodges. Vicepresident Ktthena urged all lodges to, come to the meeting. Secretary of District One, Brother P. P. Baron, made several appeals through the columns of the Vestnik. Theo response was wonderful, between 2,500 and 3,000 persons came. But out of thirty-five lodges, only twelve decided to have their representation.

•

I ASK YOU NOW THIS QUESTION: Will the same small representation be evidenced at the meeting next Sunday at Novy Tabor? Sisters and Brothers,

wake up! If no one -was appointed in your local lodge meeting to go to Caldwell, take it upon yourself, as officers of your lodge, to protect the name of your group. You at* presidents, you are vice-presidents, you are secretaries, you are treasurers, you are local organizers, call up one ancther, get together, load one or two cars with the members or your lodge, and go to the meeting of District One next Sunday. Your district cannot operate without the support 01' every local lodge.

•

•

FROM THE ITEMS APPEARING ON' the program of District One—the program is published in this issue—I would judge that the meeting.in Caldwell will be one of the best yet presented by District One. The planning committee not only included plenty of youthful talent for the entertainment of the delegates and visitors, but the business session is promising to be very profitable and enlightening. Functions and purpdses of district meetings will be discussed from a new angle. The financial situation of all the district will again be aired and exposed. The need for other district activities will be presented. And under the new business there will be topics of more than passing interest. such as: What is the membership plan to do about the Old Folks Home? Would it be advantageous to establish a summer camp for our boys and girls? Would we be able to collect sufficient material for a museum? Or could we plan . our next convention to be much shorter, so that we could have some money saved for the work in the districts?

• • THE MEETING IN CALDWELL MAY be a trail-blazer for the other five meetings which will follow in September, October and November. Any good idea is contageous. Let us hope that the officers' from other districts keep their eyes and ears open as to what will happen in Caldwell next Sunday. But Dis trict One needs every one of the local lodges tic• be represented.

• • ON ACCOUNT OF URGENT EDITORial duties, I could not come to the celebration held in honor of Brother Joe MOW' at Seaton. I regret it.

HERE'S YOUR NEW SOCIAL SECURITY With additional millions of.

now, if you look on the chart and find that the first $147 is already provided for .via Social Security, maybe it will be entirely practical for you to establish a Retirement Income Life Insurance Plan for the balanch.

That's one example of how Social Security may now have placed you, with the new changes, within easy reach of an adequate family insurance program Let's look at your program from another angle: — Suppose you toppled over this afternoon with a heart attack and left a widow and two small children to be provided for. Again, forgetting the potential maximum based on earnings • of $350 a month and dropping down to some more realistic average earnings figure, let's say that Social Security would pay your family on the basis that your taxed earnings were only $250 per month.

Suppose your youngest was a boy just, one year old and your oldest child was a girl five years old. For the next 13 years, until your daughter reached age 18, the total benefit payable to your family would be $177 per month. Then for the next 4 years until your bey would become 18, the benefit would i)(2 $132 per month.

Would it surprise you to know, then, that if you were to die tonight, Social Security would in effect add the remarkable total of $33,948 in cash paymeats to your life insurance program?

This is computed at the rate of $177 monthly payable for the first 13 years, while you still have two children who are", dependent; plus $132 each month for the next 4 years while your boy is the only dependent child. It all comes out to a total of $33,948!

True, the amounts paid out to retired people or to widows and children are not sufficient for the actual modern-day' costs of food, clothing, shelter and edu cation. Congress intends that Social Security shall pravicl(, only the minimum essentials each month. Nevertheless, Sr)cial Security in the aggregate is one of your larger family financial assets.

Your personal life insurance is ail`other important bulwark for your fam, ily in time of need. But like you SocialSecurity benefit, it may not be large e;.. nough to provide the full monthly in come you will need at retirement or your family will need if you die.

Yet, when coordinated by your family insurance man, your Life Insurance PLUS your Social Security benefits n-o-ey provide you with the most solid type of

Ptrarta 14 protection against the three great hazards --- i. e., of living too long, of dying too soon, or becoming disabled at some point along the way.

If you have not revised your insurance program in the past few weeks since Congress has been revising your Social Security, may I recommend that you pick up your telephone, call your insurance man and start doing some-' thing about it right now. It's a step you will never regret.

BRENHAM CONCERT BAND IS. DISBANDED AFTER 66 YEARS After providing musical entertainment for many thousands of music lovers in this section for 66 years, the Brenham Concert Band, probably one of the oldest musical organizations in Texas, has been disbanded by Irvin Navratil, director, and other members.

Years ago the summer night concerts attracted crowds of thousands in Brenham and other points, but in recent years attendance has steadily decreased, the situatipn being due, in part, to television, radio and other sources of entertainment.

Directors Navratil, who succeeded his father, the late F. 3. Navratil, after the latter's death in 1949, said he had assumed leadership of the band as a tribute to his father's memory, but realizing that open air band concerts are rapidly becoming a thing of the past, he felt the time had come to disband the band.

Also, he said, the band was one of the beneficiaries of the Consolidated Funds, which thrOugh one drive raises funds for various agencies and organizations.

Our guest caller at one of the dances was Mrs. H. C. Black, the Rogers Homemaking teacher and we enjoyed her calling very much.

At the other square dance two of the club members called which were Nolan Don Cobb and Bobby Hoelscher who were better than we expected. But they both have fine voices and brains and they sure did use them.

We want to thank the parents for coming out and we want them to come back as often as they can.

REMOVING STAINS The chance of soiling a! garment is ever present. A little bit of "know-how," when it comes to stain removal, can be of real help in cases of emergency. A few suggestions for the treatment of the commoner stains are listed below: Axle grease, pitch, tar, road oil and asphalt are stains peculiar to the country anti are all difficult to remove. Rub in petroleum jelly or lard to soften the stain, then sponge with one of the grease solvents, such as carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, benzene, Stoddard solvent, etc. Repeat the treatment until the stain is removed. ' 'Beer is a common stain that can be removed by washing in a soapy water.

If' the colors are fast add a little ammonia. On white silk moisten the stain with hydrogen peroxide and then let dry in the sun. Rinse in water. On colors not fast to light, soak the stain in methylated spirits for a few minutes; then brush in cold dissolved soap to make a lather, let dry. Next brush until clean, then wash and rinse. If necessary, sponge stain with equal parts alcohol and water. Then pour glycerine on the Stain and rub between the hands. Let stand for half an hour and rinse with water.

Blood can be removed by first washing in cold water and then with warm water and soap. If material is heavy, apply a thick paste or raw starch and water. Leave this until dry and then brush 'off. For obstinate stains moisten with Methylated spirits and then wash and rinse.

Candy stains can be washed out in cold water, If the stain is stubborn, soak in, heavy soapsuds about ten hours and let dry in the sun. On delicate washables sponge with warm water.

Carpet stains caused by coffee, tea or wine can be removed entirely by vigorous rubbing with a coarse cloth. For ,grease spots on carpets or rugs use a grease solvent. Work with a brushing motion so that the stain is not rubbed into the carpet.

Coffee and tea spots can be removed by thoroughly washing the stain in hot water and soap. Place an obstinate stain Over a bowl and pour boiling water through the fabric, holding the kettle about two or three feet high so that the water will strike the stain with force. If the stain persosts try hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate.

Egg spots should be sponged with cold water. If necessary, sprinkle a little powder over the spot. Work in well and let stand for a half hour. Rinse in cold water,

Fruit and berry stains must be treated immediately to be effective. Apply same treatment as with coffee. Do not use soap, unless stain is caused from citrus fruits. The same method applies for both cooked and fresh fruit' and berry stains.

Grass stains can be removed with hot water and soap as in ordinary laundering. For nonvvashables sponge with alcohol mixed with two parts water.

Gum and gum spots can be treated by hardening the gum with an ice cube.

When hard scrape the gum out of the cloth. This method is particularly good for heavy materials. On washable material soften the gnin with egg white and then wash.

Ice cream should be washed out of the material with cold water, then washed anew with warm water and soapsuds. To remove the grease apply carbon tetrachloride. Nonwashable materials can be sponged with carbon tetrachloride. Let it dry and then sponge with cold water.

Lipstick is a common stain that cannot easily be removed. If the stain is dry rub lard into it, then sponge with carbon tetrachloride. If the material is washable, loosen the stain with, glyce-

rine and then wash.

Medicine stains should be treated the same as fruit stains.

Milk or cream stains are treated the same as ice-cream stainS. Paint marks should 'be looked after immediately. If the cloth `is washable, remove fresh stains with 'plenty of soap and water. If the stain has dried, soften it first by rubbing lard or oil into it.

Next sponge the stain with pure turpentine, kerosene or carbon tetrachloride.

Perspiration stains are usually acid in nature. Wash the stain with soap and water and place in the sun to dry.

Sponge delicate fabrics with distilled water. Perspiration from the armpits is alltaline in nature. Sponging such stains with diluted vinegar will help to remove them. Rinse the garment in warm water. For stubborn stains try a bleach. ) •( The movie newsreel became a daily feature during President Wilson's administration. ) • 4, • ( Early in the 1940's, four pounds of keys were donated for scrap iron.

ONE-DOLLAR FAIRY TALES THE ROOSTER AND THE FOX (By Carole Ann Nyinec, ago 12)

Early one morning, a fox heard a rooster crowing,• He came to him and said: ,"Good morning to you. Oh, how beautifully you sing " The rooster was proud of the way he sang, and he crowed and crowed.

Then the fox said: "How beautifully you crow. But I heard that you could also stand 'on one foot. Can you?"

"I can," replied the rooster. "Look!"

"Beautiful, beautiful," said the fox "And I heard that you also could close one eye and crow. Can you?"

"1 can do that, too," replied the rooster. And he closed one eye and crowed.

"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful," said the fox. "And can you stand On one foot and close both of your eyes?"

"Yes," replied the rooster. "I can do that too." And then the rooster lifted his foot, closed both eyes, and crowed and crowed.

With that the fox jumped up, caught the rooster, and ran intio , the f3rest.

There the fox laid the rooster down on the ground, but held him by the wing.

"Now I'll eat you," said the fox.

"But you have dirty paws. Aren't you going to wash them?" asked the rooster.

"Yes, I'll wash them in this stream."

And he turned around to run to the stream. At that moment the, rooster flew up on a tree and crowed: "Cock-a-doodle-do! Cock-a-doodle-do r_ The dog heard the rooster and ran to the forest barking. As soon :as ,the fox heard the barking, he ran away. (, )• DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKS BEFORE THEY HATCH (By Libbie Ann "Bayer, age 12)

One time there was a boy named John who was walking down the boundary of two fields, when he saw a rabbit crouched down in the grass.

Now the boy started thinking what he would buy when he caught •the animal.

He would sell the rabbit and buy a goose.

Then he would sell the goose*-and buy a pig, who would have some babies soon.

When the babies were big enough, he'd sell, them and buy a calf. After the calf was big, he would sell her and buy a horse. Then he'd hop on, punch him in the ribs and yelled "Whoopee!"

This started the habit so that he ran into the next field.

All of John's 'plans vanished from his head as he watched the rabbit scamper off.

JUNGLE STORY BRINGS INSPECTION In 1906 Upton Sinclair published his famous b:ok, The Jungle. That book promptly aroused an indifferent Nation, to the incredible lack ,of sanitation, sickening economic conditions, and the sea of human misery that surrounded the meatpacking industry of that period.

By March 4, 1907, Federal meat inspection had become a reality. Ever since then that service has continued to be the basic law of the land'se far as t h e slaughtering inspection, grading, labeling, pa,ckhig, processing, canning, sale and transportation of meat and meat products are concerned. edetC dhee On June 30, 1914, the provisions of the Federal meat regulation and inspec-, tion service were extended to cover and include reindeer. But up to now—almost 50 years later—and in spite of its wide popularity and general acceptance as a real American delicacy, poultry tragically remains the "forgotten bird" of the Nation's lawmakers so far as .any compulsory regulations are concerned relating to wholesomeness or fitness for human consumption.

Reports now indicate that a new "jun> gle" has sprung up this time in certain areas of the , Poultry industry. This "jungle" business iri poultry seems to flourish in cases where the rotten pro&lets can be easily passed off without detection. In other words, those who operate this filthy trade make their big haul on the unsuspecting consumer in instances where the chickens are cut up and sold in packages 'of breasts, wings, drumsticks, or some other particular part of the 'bird and featured as ready, for fying or stewing.

For example, the State of Texas has no poultry inspection law of any kind.

Despite this fact, Texas-produced poultry products have been able to reach markets in California, a State with very rigid poultry inspection laws. One of the more significant sections . of the California law specifies that out-of-State poultry need not be reinspected if it originates in States whose poultry inspection laws are qually as strict as its own.

Texas-produced poultry' was able to side-step or evade the California law and thus reach markets in the Golden State only through a ruse. The commissioner of Agriculture of Texas, on his own, and without legal basis, preceded to appoint and did appoint so-called "inspectors" arming them with authority which did not exist, to certify as to grade and sanitation" poultry processed anywhere in the State of Texas, and to do

so without. the guidance of any published tests or standards. In the most flagrant case reported, to us the "inspector" appointed was a company supervisory employee who never once relinquished any of those supervisory ,do ties while serving as an inspector. It was such conditions of false pretense Parad ing under the guise of respectability and legality that enabled this so-called Texas "inspected" and "graded" pattitry to reach markets in California and other States like Colorado.

Compare the case of poultry with that of meat and you get a clearer picture of the whole situation. It is estimated that approximately 80 per cent of the nation's commercial meat supply is prepared under compulsory Federal regulation and inspection and most of the resris subject to State or local inspection. laws.

On the other hand, none of the poultry supply of the Nation is processed, under compulsory Federal inspection and only few States have any compulsory;: poultry regulation of their own.

There is, however, a Federal poultry inspection and grading program, hut unlike the compulsory program that applies to Meat, this poultry program is purely voluntary and covers leses than 20 per cent of the Nation's commercial poultry supply. ) 1 4• I YOU'RE FOR ME, BABY. Tripping lightly across the 'campus, the pretty co-ed noticed a handsome athlete approaching her with .obvioits interest. "You probably don't know me,he began, "but I've seen you around a lot."'

"I've noticed you too," she said` shyly.

"Well, are you doing anything to night?"

"Why, no!" she said excitedly. "What, do you have in mind?"

"Oh," answered t h e he-Man, 4 't Thought maybe you'd be free to sit with our baby while my wife and I go to the movies."

PROBLEMS OF AGED Vt8TNfE

By Kathleen Norris in a'syndicated column) Francesca Livermore of Trenton, N.J., ihas a grandfather problem. Her g randfather is 79, is dependent, is partially disabled, and like many another aged;,, lame and dependent person, is proud.

"I' aril 28, I have three small children, a 10-room house, a husband who works hard l and comes home tired, a wellequipped kitchen, and a woman to help me with housework twice a week,", says Frailetsca's letter. "I have also my father's father, and it is the slowness, the discontent, and above all, the pride of this o.ld man that is the heaviest burden of my life. I'm not writing for myself alOiie;''rny sister has an elderly aunt with her; l 'ity friends, most of them have mothers or fathers who are old, past usefulness, and yet who maintain enough arrdgance and pride to make infinite difficulties in the management of the hoh'l iv.

One friend has a mother who is only 56i Jaut who is lamed by an accident, and who bothers the life out of the family with,. affectations, criticisms, boasting, and doing nothing useful. She differs withilher sop-in-law politically and will mutter .of his candidate, under her breath, 'He's a crook and everyone knows it.' She insists on doing the 17-yearold's hair in a permanent that makes i ridiculous among her friends, she wants curtains changed, another kind of tea, she brags about the days when, thank, God, nice women didn't push theinselves into men's jobs in men's offices, she rubs everybody the wrong wa own old charge," the letter goes ad a good position years ago, so thf4 ,people still ask affectionately for the. `Captain." But he has not worked fok,many years. He is heavy, slow, his tahlg;manners are really distressing, but itils the pride that I can't take.

-“Iie is somewhat deaf, but furious if yotrinotice it. He is in need cf dentures, taking chewed food out of his mouth to lay it along the side of his plate, but he won't see a dentist. He is terribly slow of movement, but he wants to hobble along to everything holding us all up, needing someone's arm beside his cane.

But he insists that he feels fine, believes that‘we are trying to make an invalid out of him, and forbidding the mention of 1113 age. He dislikes my children, because they are too small to enjoy his reminiscences, and lie lesent,, my being absent on anything but the iliest, necessary cr-

rands; 'you women are gadabouts, once you catch a man,' he sayk "My wonderful and patient husband has locked everywhere for some suitable refuge for tills old man. There seems to be nothing between the poorhouse and rest homes at $100 a week.

Do you know of any solution? This problem, so terribly blended of our affection and impatience, cur willingness to serve and yet utter inability to handle that service, must be in millions of homes. What do other people do with these arrogant, =adaptable, sensitive old people? Help us."

My dear Francesca I wish I could!

But each case differs just a little from any other, and the general rule seems to be that the aged dependent must be humored, and that he is too old to learn manners, consideration for others, unselfishness, a little courage, a little patience at his advanced age.

One old man in our neighborhood got mad because in his niece's house meals were on time; she had college students for boarders. "I'll conic when I'm ready, Lou," the octogeneria.n would call placidly from the porch. "I ain't in an institution that I have to keep rules!" Oneo day he limped to the police court and charged this hard-working widowed niece with treating him cruelly, making him watch the clock , making light of him to her children, not letting him rest on the parlcr couch in the daytime and serving his meals cold! He had then been unpaying guest in her house for seven years.

Many men and women in the 60-70 bracket, who have sunk into dependence, idleness, boasting, and are unhappy in other men's homes, could find jobs. Not top executive jobs, no. But there are dozens of lesser jobs, especially for women, which pride keeps these old ladies from even considering. There are a million young women in kitchens in this country who could pay small salaries for just another pair of hands, another woman to watch a baby, watch a dinner cooking„ putter about with darning and dusting, and be independent, be loved and necessary at the same time.

THE WONDER DRUGS Whenever a new antibiotic is introduced it is hailed as the answer to another of rnanIcind's problem ailments.

Then something happens. We hear of unpleasant reactions, even deaths due to the drug. When the world's top authorities on antibiotics met in Washington last November, Boston's Dr. Ethan Allan Brown called today's haphazard use of antibiotics "appalling."

What should be done? Discard antibiotics? Far too, valuable they are for that! To preserve the lifesaving benefits of the drugs and eliminate their toxic reactions as much as possible, foremost authorities are now demanding the drug's careful and selective use.

Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, said that the drug is being used far too freely all over the world in cases where it can do no good, especially in the common cold. And two doctors who conducted a careful, scientifitstudy on 159 children, victims of the common cold, reached the conclusion that bed rest with plenty "of fluids is still the most effective treatment. Modern , wonder drugs, they said, do more harm than good.

To cOmbat the disadvantages of antibiotics, doctors are now using smaller dosages, a-Voiding frequent or prolonged use of them. With at least a dozen antibiotics to choose from, they are becoming more selective. When strains of resistant bacteria appear, doctors can use one of the other antibiotics to knock out the germ.. There is little fear that the world's bacteria population will defeat man's antibiotic weapon.

But what of severe and fatal reac tions? They are usually preventable. If physicians discriminate in using drugs, if patients are tested in advance to determine whether they are allergic, if physicians closely watch for toxic reactions and if patients co-operate with doctors by telling them of their previous experience with antibiotics, then fatalities can be prevented. Clearly, antibiotics, even in such forms as penicillin ointment or nose drops or lozenges, should never be used like aspirin!

Though some -risk is involved in using wonder drugs, there may be much more risk involved by not taking them,: In the case of many death-dealing infections the lifesaving power of the antibiotics is overwhelming. They have put a quick and permanent end to diseases that were formerly fatal. When common colds lead to complications, such as ear infections or pneumonia, antibiotics are lifesavers. They save not only countless lives but an immeasurable,

• L. • AUTOMATIC DRY CLEANING

Pretty soon you'll 'be able to get your Sunday suit cleaned and pressed via the vending machine.

The country's: biggest maker of dry cleaning equipment, U. S. Hoffman Machinery Co., has developed a unique contraption that accepts garments for cleaning and pressing and returns them within a Yew hours.

Patented and trademarked "Valeteria," the mechanical merchan,diser gives personal service hitherto lacking in conventional vending operations. The "Valeteria" is a two-by-eight-foot unit that can be erected conveniently in any downtown business area, apartment house projects and other heavy-traffic locations.

Each machine has a telephone and one to five units of eight lockers each.

It works this way: A person takeS his suit to a "valeteria," picks up . the phone, which is directly connected with the dry cleaner's main office, and tells the operator what he wants done. The operator tells him in whiCh locker to put his clothing and when to come back.

Upon returning, the person calls the operator again and deposits What he owes in a coin slot. The operator then opens a locker by remote control and out 'pops the garment.

There's no little man inside the locker to handle the suit. A driver stops in to pick up the garments, takes them to a plant and returns shortly before the customer shows up. —Wall Street Journal ) • 4, • ONE REASON TEACHERS ARE SCARCE

When it came time to go home from school the teacher had to help the children into their galoshes. After pulling and tugging on 30 pairs, she came to the last child, Michael. When she finally got his galoshes on him, he said, "You know, teacher, these aren't mine."

The harrassed woman groaned, sat the boy down, grabbed hold of his feet and struggled until she succeeded in getting the galoshes off.

"Now then, who do these belong to?" she asked.

"My brother," explained the boy, "but my mother makes me wear them."

A tak se nesla do veneeku jako dama a tam se po ni katdY ohledl. Kluci se o ni div nepoprali. Brali si ji z kola a cliv ji neutancovali.

Kdyt uvidela, pang adjunkta, tu , se zg -radovl,zesnadpkijoutaeslny kdyt ji vzal i on k tanci, tu se ho na to zeptala: "Sleena, Olga neptijde?"

Melo, takovY ptijemny hlas a tak to dovedla pane kici, te to nevypadalo, jako nejalta. doternost, nebo drzost a adjunkt to take tak pkijal.

Povidal, 'ze tohle neni zabava pro sledny spravcovy a pa.k, te by je milostiva pani ,nepustila kelyt — "Ja, vim," hlesla Dora, "sledna ml to povidala."

Tak se stala i jeho duvernici. Net _k ranu odega, dorna, dal ji pro sleenu ma psanieko.
