Ak ftADOVt tritEDNiCI A dopisovatele upozornuji eleny svYch domacich tada na dalegitost vYroenich sctrazi. U nekterYch domacich tada se ji g' konaly vyroeni schilze prvni nedeli v listopadu, u jinych bude schtze ptigti nedeli, a je take znaenk poet tada, kde vYrooni schaze kona, se alb v prosinci.

Kdysi men jsme ye stanovach Po dlouhou iadu let elanek asi v tomto zneni: Pravidelne schilze nejmene jednou mesiene; etvrtletni schaze v bi-eznu, eervnu, zati a prosinci; vYrodni schaze je posledni etvrtletni v prosinci. Dnes nemam• ye stanovach, kdy se kona, vyrodni schtze. Snad je to zbyteenost. Ale podobne je zbyteenost ureovat etvrtletni schaze. Piece je schilze jako schaze, ag na tu vYroeni, kde se dela piehled pies praci spolku za celY rok.

Nak stain spolkati, kteti Ni gh ze stare vlasti, kde dostali prvni zaeatky parlamentarniho jednani bud' v Sokole, v delnickYch schazich nebo v drugstevnich shromagdenich, piinesli s sebou nazvy "valna hromada," "plenarni schaze" nebo zkracene "plenarka." Take v Americe se pougiva vYrazu "plenary session," plenarni zasedani, tedy za ptitomnosti vS'ech Mena. Nekteti z naMch starch spolkata nemeli radi nazev "vYroeni schfize," ze pry to rnelo nat & . jakoby schaze se konala jen jednou roene. Lee nazev se ustalil, a my jdeme do schaze jednou za rok, abychom vyslechli vYrodni zpravy atednikil a zvolili je zase na dalk. rok, "kdyg v torn umi chodit."

Po VYroeni schazi, jako kagcleho ptedchazejiciho roku, bude oznameni voleb, ge stall. atednici byli zvoleni aklarrnaene. Jsou v gechni atednici tak dobrYmi, ze by se nedali vymenit? Je to vyznamenani jejich prace? 6i je to spige lhostejnost a nev gimavost elenii? Vime

piece, ze kaki* Clo y& chce dostat uznani svou spravne vykonancu praci.

Jestli vgak rikednik jezdi clerk dobu po uhladenYch kolejich, je zralY eas, aby mu byl danY rikad novY, lepsi, zodpovednej§i, kde by se opet musel neeemu novemu pflueovat. Vim to z vlastni zku‘Senosti.

Dokud se Clovek piqueuje neeemu novemu, price ho zajima a WI. KdyZ ale Cloy& citi, ze uz ifgechno zna, prate takova netahne a nelaka, spfge nudi a sta.va. se jednotvarnou. Pak east° Cloy& svou praci nevedomky odklada, vyhledava, dokrnele neco drileatej giho, jen aby se svym nudnYm povinnostem vyhnul.

A kdy uz tu vnitkni nespokojenost nemidge vydrget, necha VSeho a jede na hon nebo na ryby. Ale dejte eloveku nove povinnosti, zmerite jeho praci za novou, ktera je hodne teZZI, a jeho vYkonnost se zdvojnasobni. Chcete ho odlakat od jeho nave price, ale kdepakon nevi, kde mu hlava stoji. Aspoil se tak vymlouva a zatim se teli, az svou praci dodela.

Pki volbe kadovYch rikednikii men byste dbati toho, aby ritedrrici citili,ze jsou syYm rikadern; vyznamenani. PovyZujte sve rikedniky. MnohY 'Oen zaeal svou ritedni drahu v domacim spolku jako prriyodel. Mnohy prolel vZemi Mednimi funkcemi, az dnes se stave, kadovYm ptedsedou. Ptate se, co s nim, kdyZ byl deset rokti pkedsedou? Jestli ho price tesi, jestli do iaZde schrize piinese si piedem pkipravene poznamky, jestli pii sve sedmdesatce dovede jeZte myslet jako padesatiletY, ponechejte ho v tirade.

Ale jestli nechce bYti zvolen, respektujte jeho prani, dejte mu trochu Nevyhazujte ho mezi stare haraburdi, ale dejte ho na, dtrilelitY vStor, aby byl piedsedou dozorcri nebo planovaciho vyboru. Neodstrkujte ho, ale dejte mu nee° noveho. Na jeho misto zvolte si ne

koho mladZiho. Budete mit dvoji uZitek —ten vyslouZily piedseda bude yam vdeenk, ze jste jeho vedomosti zku'Senosti neprehledli, a ten novY piedseda bude se snaZit4. aby nezklamal \Tali db.veru, aby se uplatnil, aby dokazal sve schopnosti. Takovym zprisobem• misto jednoho pracovnika. dostanete dva.

Spolkov'a price ma bYt nenucend, dobrovolna, od srdce. Prot° , nikdy nenut'te gadneho Utednika, aby si svaj Mad "podrZel aspori je'gte jeden,yok." U nekterYch tada zavadeji norninaeni vYbor, jeho'g povinnosti je vySettit, kdo by jakY Mad chtel zastavat, nebo zdali by chtel zristat v Madu je gte jednu lhiitu. A take neni spravne, kdyg pi nominaci se piedseda pta noveho kandidata, zda frtad pkijima. Jestli je nekdo nominovan, a kandidat nechce nebo nema ge Mad pkijmout, on se sam vyslovi, ze nominaci nepkijima. Otazka, zdali nominaci ptivede kandidata do rozpakri.

Vzal by rikad, ale nechce vyvolat zdani, ae je ctiladostivY, tedy radeji rekne, "Nepkijimant." Za nim udela tota druhY, tketi, etvrtY, az koneene piedseda musi prohlasit, ae to nikdo nechce. A sam to zavinil Proto neptejte se nikdy, zda, nominaci pkijima. On se sam ozve.

Maine v nag ich stanovach Clanek o redaktoru a jeho povinnostech. Stoji tam, ze reclakeni rivahy maji bYti psany ku prospechu ,Tednoty, bez ohledu na jeho osobni smYg leni. Zni to spravne, ale je to paradox, toti'Z vec, ktera je zdanlive protismyslna. Zni to spravne, kdy se rekne, "ei chleb toho pisnieku zpivej," ale jenom do jiste, miry. Myslim si, 12e redaktor Vestniku by inel bYt dosti samostatnY, aby podaval sve nahledy, at' dobre nebo nevhodne, ale aby za sve napady byl zodpovednY. Casto si myslim, ze mel bych slyset od elenu vice kritiky, ze se jim nelibi to nebo ono. Snad, by ne gkodilo, kdybych mel vice osobnich nepratel. Pratele eloveku nareknou, v eem chybuje, zato nepratele jsou nejlep gimi ueiteli pro toho, kdo chce napravit vlastni nedostatky.

Kamen, hozenY do cesty, infae byt prekaZkou, ale take maze bYt stupinkem, aby 'Cloy& mel girgi rozhled nebo aby daval pozor na hrbolatou cestu.

Nekdy zaeatkem noveho roku sejde se °pet TiskovY vybor, aby pohovoril si o zlepg eni naeho organu. Na vYboru jsou tri eleni, jejichZ jmena a adresy jsou v kahlem eisle Vestniku ve vedlejgim sloupci vlevo. Jestli nekdo z vas ma nejakY pokyn, ja,koukoliv stiZnost, nebo cokoliv pro zlep geni Vestniku, ba treba i kritiku reclaktora, povezte nebo napigte to kterenaukoliv elenu Tiskoveho vYboru. Nezaleli koniu sverite svou stiZnost, jen kdyz se vec pripomene a ye schnzi Tiskoveho vYboru rozebere, aby se naprava stala. Nedomnivejte se, ze se budu zlobit. Vim, ze kaZde Oslo Vestniku by melo bYt o poznani lep gi neZ eislo predchazejici. Nemohu odpoeivat na yeerejSich vavrinech nebo na torn, co jsem vykonal pied mesicern a p eed rokern. Kudy chodim, vgude musim pamatevati, ze prigti tyden musi Vestnik prinesti nove pokyny, dalgi ponaueeni, aerstve myglenky. Jinak by nemelo smyslu, abychonr organ vydavali.

Starghn elentim, kteri &toil eesky, poclavain sve osobni nahledy na strance prvni, druhe a treti. Tam vidite, sestry a bratri, mou pater, me srdce, a take nekdy mou flue. Na tech strankach yam reknu, co si myslim, jake jsou me nahledy na to rebo onu spolkovou vec.

Tam take zrrinuji se o problemech, ktere na g eekaji y budoucnosti. Nekdy byl bych velice yclanY, kdyZ by o tech problernech rozepsali se na gi vedouci, ale manse to u.Z, v nagi SPJST tak zarizene, ze ten najatY redaktor, ac neni vedouci, je jz;-2.inY, kdo za ty vedouci mluvi.

Ve stredu, drie 9. listopadu 1955, Tesil jsem se stale, ie nekdo ze vedoueich rozepi ge se o novych zakon.ech, ktejsorrupraveny pro zakonodarny po celYeh SpojenYch statech. V kratkem Case dojde k tomu, ze predlohy budou schvaleny a stanou se zakonem. Pak budeme nuceni upravovati a meniti take nase stanovy. A prave ze mame pied sjezdem, bychom vedet, co na nas eeka, a jake zmeny se pro nas chystaji.

Prominte nai, ze opet miuvim za tiredniky a hlavne za naseho pravniho radce. Vgichni vedi, a bal., ale asi si mysli, proe volat 'hop," dokud nemusime preskakovat. Ale je dobre znati predem, jak giroke jsou prikopy nebo prekalky, ktere jiste prijdou.

Vgiehni vite, ze Narodni b trsky kongres je velmi vyznalnne telT o V obchocle Zivotniho poji g t'ovani. Kdysi za starYch dob bratrske podpUrne spolky nemely pevneho zakladu, protole popiatky se vybiraly jen jakoby "s kloboukeni dokola," kdy.Z zemrel Glen. Lee Narodni bratrsky kongres yyprucoval tak zvane "Umrtni tabulky," na jeilch2 zaklade se pocitaly poplatky kaZdel)o elena die jeho stari. Statni komisari pojigt'ovani pracovali ruku v nice s'Narodnim bratrskYin kongresem. Pred vice ne2 etyriceti lety prijato bylo doporueeni statnich komisarti a Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu, aby v kalZdern statu Unie byly pribliZne stejne zakony, die nichZ by se organisovaly a tidily bratrske podpurne spolky.

V uplynulych patnacti letech byly ueineny dva dalgi pokusy o zjednoceni konn pro bratrske jednoty. Komisari a pravnici bratrskYch spolka nemohli se nikdy dohodnout. Az v prosinci roku 1953, po zaseciari bratrskeho kongresu v Dallasu, byl ueinen treti pokus a vypracovany byly novo zakony. V kyetnu 1954 byly tyto neve zakony pfedloeny Ukednikfun Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu posouzeni, k opravaan a k schvaleni. Pak se No za vyborem statnich komisarin Byly konany tri poradni schaze, posledni v imam 1955, kdy byla, provedena koneena dohoda mezi konrisari a bratrskYmi jednotami. Novi bratrskY zakonik. obsahujici 45 paragrafti a na sta podradnYch elankti, byl poslan vgem bratrskYm jednotam k posouzeni. Take firednici na gi SPJST dostali vYtisk noveho zakoniku k posouzeni. Pokyny, opravy a zmeny se poladovaly. Dle teehto oprav se zakonik znovu prepracoval, letos 1. eer yna, byl schvalen vYborem Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu a 2. eervna 1955 statnimi komisari pojigt'ovani.

To vgechno byly jen predbeine pripravy. NavrhovanY novY zakonik se nechal vytisknout a kaada bratrska jednota, kteje Menem Narodniho bratrskeho konkresu dosta.ia vYtisk, aby ho dobre pro-

Ve stkedu dne 9. listopadu 1955. dy i naAe SPJST dostala tyto informace. Prislo jen main oprav, talde tidedstudovala a podala sve dobrozdani. Tenici Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu zakonik schvalili. Lee byla to jen pkedloha 45 paragraffi, ktere musely napred bYti schvalene v hromadnem zasedani. V pondell odpoledne 26. zari bylo podrobne vysvetleno, a se jedna., kaZdY delegat dostal vYtisk navrhovanYch novYch kona, a, ye avrtek, 28. zaM 1955, byl no\TY zakonik schvalenY. DalSi krok bude, ze v pfiStim zasedani zakonoclarny Texasu, a take v jinYch statech, bude Lento navrh novYch zakona predlolen k prijeti. A prave tim, celY novY zakonik byl peelive vypracovan advokaty bratrskYch jednot a advokaty zastupujici statni komisare, tedy ze je to price spolku i komisart pro cele Spojene staty, bude uskuteeneni noveho zakona velice usnadnene. Nove zakony pro bratrske spolky v Texasu nejsou jeSte 'ornate, ale stane se tak v nedaleke budoucn,osti. Rekodifikace (sestaveni noveho zakonu) se prase projednava ye statech Louisiana, New Jersey, Michigan, Oklahoma a West Virginia.

Jak jsem poznamenal, byl bych velice vdeenY, kdyZ by o techto vecech psal nekdo jinY, treba predseda nebo pravni radce SPJST. Maji to lepe prostudovane. Ale vim, ae budou vYroeni schaze, do kterYch se dostavf vice Mena, a miohou si o techto vecech mezi sebou pohovorit. Podam jen to nejzajimavejSi, co ma Primy vztah na eleny, 'eddy, delegaty a sjezd.

V paragrafu druhem novella zakona je mezi jinym, ae rady museji konati pravidelne schaze nejmene jednou mesiene. Ve starem texaskem zakoniku je pouze, ile rady museji dodrZovati naiizeni stanov, aby schaze se konaly v pravidelnYch lhiitach. Priostri se dodrZo yani schtzi, odpadnou vYmluvy, ae do schilze nikdo nejde, tak "udelame si je jednou za, pul roku." Asi ae nastane lepM kontrola z Ustredi, protoae statnimu kornisari budou se oznamovat vSechny rady, ktere mesieni schtlze nekonaji, a take musi byt omluva hlavnich vedoucich, jake kroky podnikaji, aby se mesieni schilze u takovYch radii konaly.

Pak nam komisat rekne, "Bud' jste bratrskym podpUrnym spolkem a dodrZujete zakony, n.ebo rad spojte s temi kde pravidelne inesioni schilze maji."

Mame tekat, a2 nas komisar prinuti?

V paragrafu tretim, odstavec (e), sto ji, ze bratrskY podpinnY spolek musi miti sbor reditelii, kterY je zodpovednY za spravne vedeni spolku rryezi sjezdy. Tedy ne hlavni aradovna bude ridicim telesem, ale sbor reditela. V odstavci (g)

Tyto ptispeyky si bYti zaplaceny nejpozdeji do 1. dubna v roku, s vYjimkou prvniho (sjezdoveho) rcku, v kteernA ptipadu jsou splatne do devadesate dna po sjezdu.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR IF THE SPJST MEANS TO US ANYthing at all, it seems the promise of growth. Our SPJST is not a finished product. We are constantly engaged in building it bigger and better. There are no blueprints and no bylaws which would cover all the contingencies that may arise, or the new ideas that may develop in the future. * ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS WE have a general overhauling of the rules, regulations, plans, and blueprints. Each local lodge is supposed to select its best member or a group of members who go to the convention where this overhauling is done. Sometimes some repair is badly needed. Sometimes the running machinery develops a sign of weakness.

Sometimes the lawmakers in the state legislature adopt new regulations. All Of these things are to be remedied in our conventions.

• • WE SHALL HAVE ANOTHER GENeral o y ermauling next year. Some of the major repairs will be forced upon us by pressure from outside. It is almost forty years since we had to act because the outside pressure was applied. We used to keep our mortuary fund distributed among the local lodges. A law was enacted that the mortuary fund must be handled by the headquarters. Another law was that we must be 100% solvent, to meet all of our obligations one hundred cents on the dollar. When the law was enacted some forty years ago, we were only 84% solvent. So we had to do something about making up the shortage. Now we are twenty cents on the dollar above, what the law requires.

BUT SOMETHING NEW IS LOOMING out in the very near future. It developed gradually over the period of forty years.

Many filaternal benefit organizations operate in several states, some of them in nearly all of the forty-eight states.

But the laws of every state are slightly different. There are twenty-two states that do not limit either the minimum or maximum age for membership in 'a fraternal organization, Texas being one of them. Seven states have the minimum age, eighteen states have both the minimum. And the maximum., The

same confusion is about the medical examination, eligible classes of beneficiaries, distribution of funds, juvenile insurance, amount of adult insurance, and other important items. ♦ THE OFFICERS OF THE NATIONAL Fraternal Congress and: the State Commissioners' Committee got together and worked out Uniform Fraternal Code.

The work started in 1953 and was practically finished in February, 1955. A draft of the proposed Uniform Code was mailed to every fraternal society and to insurance commisisoners in every state.

Suggestions, comments, and criticisms were invited. Those that came were studied again. The final draft was approved by the officers of the National Fraternal Congress and also by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The new Uniform Code was submitted to the convention of the N.F. C. in Toronto, and the approval was voted on Wednesday, September 28th.

Already five state legislatures are in the process of adopting the new laws for fraternal benefit societies.

• • WISI'H THESE NEW LAWS LOOMING ahead: of us, our officers and our preconvention Bylaws Committee will do well to notice what is being prepared.

Our supreme officers studied these new proposals ever since they received the first draft in February of this year. Not many changes were made in the final draft which was received at our headquarters in June. But it is important for our preconvention Bylaws Committee to know what the changes are. Let me list them briefly, at least the more radical changes. If I miss some o f them, I ask Brother Pavlicek, our legal advisor, to correct me. ♦ • MOST OF THE SMALLER SOCIETIES are now being managed by officers, or a combination of officers and directors.

The new law will be that a society has a board of directors charged with the responsibilities for managing its affairs between one convention and another.

The officers will not be a governing body. The officers are either elected by the directors, or by the convention.

SINCE THERE IS BOTH AMBIGUITY and confusion in the state laws relative to the juvenile insurance, the Uniform Code provides that a society may admit to benefit membership any person not less than fifteen years of age, and that a society may provide for insurance of children under fifteen, but membership and initiation of children shall tot be required. A society may organe and operate branches for such insured children until they are transferred to and become members of the adult local lodge.

If this law is put in operation in Texas, it would mean that we could not count children under fifteen as members. Our juvenile department would be reorganized, and also our juvenile certificates would have some changes.

• • UP TO NOW, THE APPLICATIONS for membership have been filled out in a rather unprofessional manner. The new law calls for a copy of the application and of the physician's prOof of insurability, if any, to be attached to the cer tificate. More than likely, we would have to make a photostatic copies of the application. So far it was not compulsory to do it. The certificate would also have to state all the nonforfeiture benefits available under the certificate and the method used in, calculating these bone fits.

• • THE NEW CODE PROVIDES FOR the licensing o-3: agents, representatives, and organizers, by whateVer name such persons are designated who act in the solicitation, negotiation. or procurement of a life insurance, accident and health insurance, or annuity contracts. Any person who in, the preceding calendar year procured life insurance in an amount of fifty thousand, or on the persons of more than twenty-five individuals shall be licensed.

• • IN THE SECTION PERTAINING TO the examination by the State Department of Insurance, the following sentence will be of interest: The minutes of the convention and of the board of directors shall be in the English language.

1STICE DAY That's right. November 11 has been changed to Veterans' Day. When the world's peacemakers oned that blessed day 37 years ago nistice, Day, they made a prediction, sti r Cher knowingly or not, which was to be fulfilled with horrible and brutal reality some twenty years later.

Webster defines the word "armistice" as a "brief cessation of arms, by convention; a temporary suspension of hostilities by agreement; a truce."

None of us needs to be reminded how brief, how temporary was the lire of the war to end all wars" ;myth. Before the next generation was mature, armies. were on the march again, the blood of millions flowed in caste, and the priceless treasures of mankind reduced to desolation. `Yes; it was 37 years ago on November 11, 1918, at 11 o'clock in the morning, when the armistice agreement signed between the Allies and Germany became effective. It was an armistice applauded by the world in the belief that it meant the end of all wars.

The termination of World War I brought us temporary peace, at the cost of over 330,000 casualties of our finest American) manhood, not to mention property destruction, millions of dollars of tax burdens, and broken hearts. It was a heavy price to pay, but as Americans who cherish peace and freedom, we accepted it with hope in our hearts and a prayer on our lips.

Later we discovered that war had not been outlawed nor had a true peace been accomplished. To the contrary, the lust for power was still buried in the hearts of some world leaders with the result that within a period of 20 years the World was again bathed in blood and tears.

Today, as we observe Armistice Day, we are mindful of those who were in uniform 011 November 11, 1918, and especially the unknown soldier who is a symbol of all those who have made the supreme sacrifice for our country.

At this time, we recall that great holocaust of World: War II which cost America. more than 294,000 men killed and a total of 1,050,000 casualties. These men too, believed their sacrifices would preserve our American way of life and protect the freedoms of our allies.

The worldwide destruction, the numerous tragedies of war, and tax burdens imposed, will long be remembered by millions of people around the world as the bitter aftermath of the Second World War. hiving as we do today in a confused

TO ALL ORGANIZERS Dear Sisters and Brothers, A lot cf important events are happening in our SPJST. First, Brother Chupick, our Supreme cretary was elected second Vice President of the Texas Fraternal Congress, and will be elevated to the position of the First Vice President in the coming convention, which will be held this year, November 10, 11 and 12 in the Crazy Hotel in Mineral Wells, Texas. So those of you who possibly can should attend this convetion. I am sure it will be quite educational as well as thrilling.

your prospects lined up and up to date, because I will be calling on you and pushing you from now on, until we accomplish the job that we need to do. I realize that with the harvest in full swing and vacation titre for some of you, it was hard to do much, but most of that is behind us now, so we have to work, and work hard.

I would like to remind the organizers of the Third District, that the organizers of District Five were leading us in September sales. I must admit that I don't like this at all. So, let's wake up and show District Five that we too can sell life insurance.

Fraternally, Jay Dee Waggoner ) • 4. e LODGE KAREL JONAS NO. 28 East Bernad, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters, It seems to me that I have neglected my job, writing to the Vestnik. But I am tr.-fling you I have been so busy during picking time, I haven't found time to write. I'll try to keep up writing now.

Well, the farmers are through with gathering their crops now, we made a very good crop this year and also plenty of corn, for which we should be very thankful.

Since we are through with the field work, and also got everything plowed, my husband and I and our son Daniel, took a vacation last week. We went to

my husband's sister, Mrs. J. B. Eastman in Cedar Lane. While there, we also were picking pecans and fishing. We had a nice time.

We held our regular meeting Sunday October 16, instead of second Sunday the 9th due to the bazaar at the Riverside park. We had a pretty good attendance, but we would like to see more members present. The meeting opened at 2 p. m. All the 'officers were in their places. We pledged allegiance to the flag, which was led by our Sister Carrie Bohacik. We were happy to welcome three new members in our lodge, they are: Willie Gene Graves Jr., Chester Schroeder, and Vernon Allen Janik.

It really is windy today, and it is so dry. I guess we won't have any winter garden.

We will hold our next meeting second Sunday, November 13 at 2 p. in. So please be present.

Thanks go to all of you, sisters who contributed food not only from our lodge, but from neighboring lodges. I wish to thank Sisters Kasparek from Lodge Praha, Zabcik from Lodge No. 24, and Hoelscher also from Lodge 24 for helping me on the program. Your part was certainly appreciated. Sometimes, however, I wonder whether these programs are really of any benefit as we never hear any one say anything or seems to me that more lodges would take part in the programs if they would be as beneficial as we claim.

Surely, there is some one in every lodge who can sing or say a speech. So far in our district, we haven't had, but the three lodges take part in the prograin. Maybe at our next meeting we ought to omit the entertainment program and see how it works.

I am submitting below the program we had at our Lodge and many thanks go to all of you and your parents for the interest they take not only in you, but in the Lodge's activity.

Fraternally, Clara Hejl )• • West, Texas Dear Brother Editor: It is a very long time since I have written to the Vestnik, but I am of ill health. At age 73 a fellow doesn't feel much like writing, if not in good health.

Reading the Vestnik, a person can't help but think. In regards to delegates, I would suggest: Each county, where we have a lodge or lodges, have one delegate-at-large from the entire county to be elected by all lodges in that county; and each lodge, without consideration of number of members, one delegate.

I can hear the cries of the large lodges: "That isn't fair to us!" Well, the state of Rhode Island is the smallest in the Union, and New York is the largest; yet both have two Senators, and so have all other states.

If you go on as it is, the few large lodges will kill the little ones. There is already all kinds of mumbling and even some saying that the small lodges may break away and organize a new Supreme Lodge. Members of small lodges haven't any chance to be elected to supreme office, or they may say so. (Editor's Note: Do you mean it? Or are you just kidding? When Brother Chupick was elected, his Lodge No. 51 had 85 members.

Brother Koliha's Lodge had 69 members.

Brother Cerveny's Lodge had 23 members. And look at Brother Rudy Sefcik, president of Lodge with 1100 members, he was nominated, but was not elected.)

With regard to Moucka's Fund. Moucka and myself were personal friends. If he be living today, he would advocate an orphans' home instead of Old Folks Home. With Social Security, old. age as-

Wednesday, November 9, 1955 ssitance, most old people can make out.

Our people are not so bad off that they wouldn't be able to take care of themselves. We also have County Old People Home. But let a breadwinner pass away, and if there is a widow with 2-3 children, some small ones, where will she get the daily bread for the kids? She goes to work. Who takes care of the children? There is the foundation for child delinquency, they are left to themselves, can do as they please, and it doesn't take long mother hasn't any control of them. (There are plenty of those in the Cadillac class who get delinquent, too.—Ed.) Do you know that most fraternal organizations that have "Old Folks Home" require those people to assign any property they may have to the home?

Check with the Masonic or with Eastern, Star homes. About forty years ago I was an officer in California with the "Arbeiters Altenheim," a German organization. As I understand, they changed several years ago the buildings to orphanages. There were not enough applications to keep the homes going.

Hope you can read my writing. Please give my regards to the Houston folks, and remeber me to your dear wife.

With kindest regards, fraternally, Hugo Freund ) • CHAPTER 11 SVPS San Antonio, Texas It was Sunday, October 23. The morning was cool and the .sun shone bright, giving promise of a wonderful day. Toward noon the members of the Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Association (SV PS) and their guests gathered at the pecan covered Little Comanche Park to celebrate the 28th anniversary of San Antonio Chapter No. 11.

When the sun reached the half way mark, it was more comfortable in short sleeves, the warmth having sharpened appetites for refreshments, which in turn whetted a grand appetite for all the good food layed out, all around, on the quadrangle bar. Second helpings were in order until full and washed down with refreshments preferred, all free. Every once in a while the wind stirred the pecan, trees and the ripe pecans began falling rat-tat-tat on the roof of the pavillion. Some one asked: "What's that?" And someone answered "Nuts."

Following the repast, the secretarytreasurer of the chapter introduced the Chapter's President, Alfred Kalmus, who welcomed the guests to the celebration and hoped that every one would enjoy themselves. He introduced our distinguished visitor, attorney Reuben Le-

Vt ST -N --- WEST, TEXAS gikar, Temple who took a bow. Then a short program followed.

The secretary read the minutes of the first charter meeting 28 years ago, during which the following officers •were elected: F. E. Zidek, president; Mrs. J. V. Brehmer (now Mrs. S. C. 13unclii) secretary-treasurer; F. E. 2idek, bookkeeper. Out of the eleven persons present at first meeting, only four were present at the celebration. They were: F. Maly, Zofie Maly, Marie Vanek. and J. V. Brehmer-Bundil. They were asked to stand to take a bow and received a big hand. Four members have departed to the happy hunting grounds: Albert Mikulec, F. E. 2iclek, Anna ‘ idek and Adolf Vafia.

Announcement was made that next on the program would be a solo by Patricia Murie singing "A Sad Parting," the first time this song has ever been heard in public. For her efforts she received a well deserved applause. As her grandpap, I brag about her pleasing singing voice.

Next, the highlight of the program, was the timely speech delivered by Brother Reuben Le gikar. He spoke of the difference in our SVPS and the stock insurance companies. He explained the origin of the mutual fire associations; of the need for protection in the days gone by, by farmers grouping to form mutual associations — perhaps the same feeling the pioneers had when forming the SPJST for fraternal insurance — so they could get cheaper insurance. Due to the influx of farmers to the cities, arose the need for city mutual association and that is one reason why the Slovanic Mutual Fire Insurance Association (SV PS) was organized. From an humble beginning the SVPS has progressed to the tune 30 million dollars of insurance in force.

Strana lb 'Tor his willingness to come all the way from Temple to help us celebrate the Chapter's anniversary with his timely information and remarks. We want you t: L.now, Brother LeSikar, th?t we appreciate it very much.

Adieu S. C. Du.ndil, Sec'y-Treas.

Silen Apaeoval Dear Editor: I saw an article (which I am enclos-• in) in yesterday's Waco Times-Herald: I thought I'd it to you for what it is worth.

I always enjoy reading your edito rials. And if others took as much time and interest, maybe we would gel somewhere. You write and write an(l'—I am sure--at times'you wonder if it does any good. Well, I'm sure it does. Just keep up the good work.

Like myself, I am sure people read, approve, but fail to sit down and write a few lines to let the other members Sincerely, know what they think.

Mrs. Betty L. K. The enclosed article reads: 114-ACRE RESORT FOR EMPLOYES Ten miles southwest of Kerrville, in the heart of the Hill Country, lies the H.E.B. Lodge, a 114-acre vacation play ground which has been enjoyed by HEB., employes during the past seven years.

Purchased in 1947 by Butt, to provide a pleasant resort area for vacationing employes, the Lodge includes seven cottages and two large houses, plus a large playhouse for general gatherings. A beautiful spring-fed lake offers swim!, ming, boating, and fishing, and the lake is well-stocked with game fish.

There are also horses for those who enjoy riding, a large barbecue pit for outdoor cooks, and miles of winding trails for hiking.

Temple, Texas October 31, 1955 PRESIDENT MAREK'S REPORT After the last meeting of the Supreme Lodge, held on October 10, 1955, President Marek prepared a written report about his impressions that he received and carried home from the National Fraternal Congress convention in Toronto, Canada.—Editor.

• • At this time, I wish to make my report on the National Fraternal Congress Convention which was held in Toronto Ontario, Canada on September 26, 27 and 28. As you all know I attended this convention making the trip there and back in the officer car. I left here Thursday afternoon September 22 and returned about 10:00 p. in. September 30th. While there I attended the Presidents, Youth and State Fraternal Congress Sections. I attended these, for these sections dealt with my work in the office. I also attended in part the Press and Actuaries sessions, and also the plenary sessions that were held Monday and Wednesday mornings. In the Presidents section which was held Monday morning, of which Mr. Tkatch was presiding officer, I wish to state that this was a very interesting meeting in which the speakers brought to the attention of all present many interesting and educational facts. I may say that I was honored in this section by being elected second Vice-President which, as you know, will entitle me as President of this section of the National Fraternal Congress in the year 195'7.

The Youth Counselors section meeting, which was held Tuesday morning in which Mr. Lamoreau was the presiding officer, we had another goad meeting.

The two speakers Mesdames Howell and Talucci both brought out interesting facts about the Youth of this day; and the color picture presented by the Modem Woodmen was very instructive. All in all, this section brought many questions which were answered by the speakers as well as by Mr. Lamoreau, the presiding officer. In the Actuaries section,, I spent a very short time as the greater part of my time was spent in the Youth Counselors section, with these two sections the meetings overlapped. In the

'1 AN

State Fraternal Congress section, in which both Brother Valcik and. myself were present, I am happy to report that we had 12 in this section from Texas.

Brother Joe Stedham, president of the Texas Fraternal Congress, made a wonderful report of our doings here in Texas. He also pointed out the necessity of vigilance here in Texas. In the Plenary session held Monday afternoon and which was the opening day of the convention I wish to state that it was very inspiring and educational. In the Plenary session of Wednesday morning interesting discussions were heard. These sessions were keyed by the inspiring talk "The Leadership of the Free', by Judge Messinger. And here I want to state that of the 108 societies that compromise the National Fraternal Congress of America 91 of them were present.

After the Wednesday morning Plenary session I packed up and started on my return trip back home and returning here as stated above 10:00 p. m. Friday.

I was tired but happy as to the fact that I attended this convention.

Edward L. Marek, president CASH IN BANKS During the month of October, 1955, the cash receipts deposited in all of our depositories, amounted to $219,642.10. and the disbursements amounted to $151,668.82.

Resoluti©n of Sympathy The members, of Lodge C'eAti No. 44 extend deepest sympathy and regret to the entire family in the sudden passing of their wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Slavena Marek who passed away very suddenly at her home on October 17 at the age of 70 years. She was laid to rest at the CzechMoravian Brethren Church Cemetery on October 19.

She was a faithful member of Lodge CeS'ti Bratii, 44 at Industry, for a period of 43 years.

May her soul rest in peace.

Miroslav L. Petrusek Jos. F. Coufal Resolution Coma,1ttee )• THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN THE YEARS TO COME The world you live in today will be an exciting and wonderful one in just five or ten years. Here are a few things that are within the realm of probability.

By 1965 the average fainily can expect $1,400 more income, in terms of 1955 dollars. Reasons for the trend are lower taxes and higher productivity.

In the 1960s most young couples will be ready to buy a home even before they think of raising a family.

Expect fewer canned and frozen foods.

Instead, many foods will be irradiated, will need no refrigeration and will last indefinitely.

Sometime in the 1960s or 1970s millions of workers will go to the factory or office four days a week and have three of play.

Photographers 'will use magnetic tape film for either color or black-and-white pictures. No development or printing will be necessary. You'll be able to reuse the tape and project pictures on your television screen.

The turbocar will be sold within 10 years. A jet-powered turbine will make the wheels go round. Only one fifth of the present number of moving parts will be needed and the car won't have a transmission or clutch.

Guided missiles for such peacetime uses as carrying freight and delivering transcontinental mail may be tried out within the next decade.

The atom will do everything from providing energy for power to preserving food and purifying medicines.

Last, but not least: Long-term weather forecasting will be more reliable. On a, Mon-day you'll be told what the weather will be like on Saturday, and be able to count on it.

SOME ANSWERS ABOUT SLEEP How much sleep is normal? Most people fifteen to fifty average about eight hours out of the twenty-four. But each person's normal needs differ.

Do we need less sleep as 'we grow older? Yes. Newborn babies sleep about two thirds of the time, adults only one third. Thus we double our period of wakefulness, and for every hour of sleep We can stay awake two hours instead of half an hour. Here is the average amount of sleep by ages: Age Hours 6 111/4 10 10 15 9 20 81/4 25 8 60 7 But these are merely statistical averages. Some old people sleep exceptionally long hours. And those who appear to sleep few hours frequently take catnaps during the day.

Are some persons naturally inclined to sleep late? Yes. Experiments reveal that the ability to sleep varies with the time of day and night. This variation is reflected in our body temperature, which rises and falls about two degrees durin_,, the twenty-four hours and is usually at its lowest from two to six a. m. As We get more active, the body turns the heat on; we are at our most alert mentally and physically when our temperature reaches its peak.

For most people this peak is reached in the early afternoon. Some, however, have a different rhythm and are their "hottest" in the late afternoon or early evening. these natural night owls are happiest on jobs that let them sleep late in the morning.

not be able to get to sleep before three a.m.

Are two hours' sleep before midnight worth four after? No. This idea seems to be an, old wives' tale based on the obvious fact that since most of us have to get up early we get more rest if we go to bed early. Actually, it is not when you lie down on mattress, as log as you get your needed proportion of sleep to waking hours. A few years ago a bus.nessman and inventor volunteered to try sleeping thirty minutes after every two and a half hours. After two years on this unsociable schedule, he seemed to be in better health than before.

You can increase the hours of rest in your sleep by making your bedroom as nearly lightproof and soundproof as possible. Air conditioning, of course, is ideal for this purpose. A noise-muffling ventilator is good, as are sound absorbing curtains and drapes.

How can you fall asleep again if you Wake in the night? The average person falls asleep again with the greatest of ease and doesn't even remember he waked. The insomniac is a special problem. Benjamin Franklin recommended two beds. Moving from a fatiguing, warm bed to a fresh cool one was his method of courting reluctant sleep. A neurologist recommends reliving the last dream situation lingering in one's mind, thus restoring the mental attitude conducive to the onset of sleep.

Many persons recite soothing verses, repeat words or phrases, or count symbols. Others keep a carafe of a warm drink on the night table for instant use.

These stratagems work best for those who think them up.

It is helpful to remember that complete rest is almost as good as sleep.

When you fret because you are missing sleep, this worry makes it more difficult to slip back into unconsciousness. But if you lie quietly to enjoy the benefits of rest, you soon will fall asleep.

We can and do adapt to different sleep schedules, but only after our body temperature has correspondingly shifted and we eventually establish a new rhythm. The natural night-owl mother may force herself to rise at seven every What is the best sleeping position? morning for years to get the children off to school, but when they grow up "On the side," recommends British Dr. she is likely to revert to type and sleep James O'Donnell.

Hardening Of The Arteries Several years ago the body chemical called cholesterol was much in the news. Americans suddenly learned that the deposits of this wax-like substance probably caused the most common type of hardening of the arteries.

When arteries harden, the affected body tissues may grow old too soon. The skin of the hands and face may toughen, shrivel, or develop lines and wrinkles; the hair may grow sparse and gray.

Cholesterol, it was discovered, can also be a great mischief-maker in causing coronary attacks and other fctins of heart trouble, not to mentior a most common type. of gall bladder trouble.

Now cholesterol is an essential ingredient in many body tissues, important to life and health. You need a certain amoosat of cholesterol. But after the miedle 40's, accumulation of too much of this chemical in the tissues can cause serious harm, The first reaction to die cholesterol discoveries,was a flood of hastily adopted opinions and theories. One, which seemed to make sense, was to cut down on the intake of cholesterol-containing foods. Unfortunately, this included eggs, milk, cream and. other wholesome, neeesary foods. This view was over-emphasized and over-publicized. It was easy to grasp, it was sensational news; and despite the fact that denials from really competent authorities soon came, literally millions of people believe to this day that they had best avoid eating more than a token quantity of eggs, milk, meat, and other cholesterol-containing foods.

During the past few years very thorough research, an immense amount of study by qualified experts, has proved that the "don't eat cholesterol foods" theory wasn't entirely correct. Unfortunately, this kind of nutritional fact isn't apt to be written; up outside of technical journals because it isn't particularly sensational news.

It is now known that there are various types of cholesterol with different forms of molecular make-up. Some forms of cholesterol will not cause hardened arteries or other troubles; some special types will. It seems very likely that the kind of cholesterol found in eggs and cream, in fact maybe all types of the pre-formed cholesterol in foods, are not the trouble-makers; they are safe, they can and should be eaten —in moderation, of course.

Life History Of Our Pasents i\illna And Valentine Klecka The writer of this brief history, son of Anna and Valentin Klecka, will try to give you a bit of the background of OUT parents and grandparents. I was fifteen years old when our parents left the old homestead in Europe and moved to the land of the free.

Our parents were born in the central part of Czechoslovakia. If you look on a map of that central Eureopean country and read the long name, locate the letter "L". Right above the letter "L", you will find a city called Novy Jiein.

East of that city is a village named Kateriniee, the birthplace of our parents.

To my best recollection, our parents had quite a bit of land by the European standard. The people at that time were divided into classes according to the amount of real estate. At the top of the ladder was the sedlak, who owned fro a fifty to seventy or more acres and had his own horses. Below sedlak was chalapiiik (cottager) who had about five or len acres of land and had to borrow laa'ses . and a plow from the sedlak (neascait) to have his land cultivated.

Farther down the scale was baraenik, a /Inch poorer peasant who owned only a cottage and a very small tract land on which his dwelling stood. Lowest of all was nadenik, the peasant without land who worked by the day for any one who would buy his labor.

Our parents belonged to the top class of seCilaks, because they had what 'would amout to about 150 acres by AMorican scale. The land was not of the best quality and it was not poor either.

The parents owned two or three horses, and also eight or ten milk cows. We children were too young to do any work, so our parents contracted with a grownup young man or a young girl to help with the chores and also to assist with the Work in field. But as soon as we were little older, but still going to school, we had to help, too.

Our father was a highly respected citizen. He was always called to the meetin g s-(f village council and to every type M Meeting. But he was so soft-hearted that he could not refuse appeals and requests form others. If the village teacher or the village priest needed to travel to the county seat, it was always our father who furnished horses and a light traveling wagon and his time or the services of his hired man. In the winter, when somebody needed a coal from a coal mine, many miles distant, it was our father who made the trip and brought back the needed coal.

We had a trader in our village, half trader, half butcher, who used to buy

(By John Klecka) hogs and calves, and hired our father to deliver the animals to the market.

One time I made a trip with him. On our way back home, he was very much depressed and he told me: "Sonny, I was a fool to sell so cheap. They got the best of me."

I remember that our parents had a good-sized fruit orchard, plenty of ,fruit, plenty of wheat every year, a decent level of living. But the taxes v we high

miles south of Schulenburg. The only mode of traveling in those days was by wagon. With the assistance of Mr. Rusek, our father bought a pair of horses and a wagon. As soon as the purchase was closed, we loaded our baggage and started in the general direction where the Kutae family was suposed to live. The same evening, we located them near Ballettsville in a community called Smales Creek. It was our first hearty welcome to this country.

We arrived in cotton picking time.

Next day, we, children, went to pick cotton. Father was proud of his fine horses, so he decided to have a ride in a grand yle of a European lz)ncliord. But it gave him a lesson about Texas ba4ed-wire fences. As he was racing along, his horse got too close'to the barbed wire. Fathgot his leg so badly cut that he was laid up for two weeks, and we had to stay with the Kutac family, Those two weeks were spent mostly in consultations between Mr. Jos. Kutae and my father about some good tract of land where we could settle and be independent. Mr. Kutae knew atother Czech, ) 째 a certain Jos. Peter, in Yorktown, who was selling farms and uncultivated land.

As soon as father's leg was healed enoagh to stand traveling, he and Mr. Kutac went to Yoakum and toward Yorktown to locate Mr. Joe Peter, the land agent. They found him some ten miles north of Yorktown. Later father made one more trip to see Mr. Peter and finally he bought a 200-acre tract some twelve miles north of Yorktown, where we moved very shortly afterwards. We found our new home. We, children, stayed with parents several years until we were married.

And now I shall continue with the second generation.

Sister Marie married Valentin Krpec.

They lived ou a farm near Yoakum, Later, on account of health, they sold the farm and bought a residence in the city of Yoakum.

As for myself, John Klecka, I married in 1900 Karolina Toman. We lived with my wife's mother on a farm, for one year near East Bernard, then we moved to Falls City in a business partnership with my brother-in-law, Adolph Toman.

Sister Agnes married Frank Mazur in the year of 1903. The first few years they lived in Falls City, then they moved to Port Arthur.

Our youngest brother Rudolph lived with the parents until he finished school. He married Miss Elsie Findeisen in the year of 1922. He now lives in San Antonio.

And now let me review the third generation, as far as I am able to put the information together.

My brother Frank has four children, three boys and one daughter. The boys are: Fred Klecka, of San Antonio, who has two daughters and one adopted daughter. Isidor Klecka, of Dallas, has three children, two boys and one girl.

Florian Klecka, of Bay City, has one child. Marie is living near Corpus Christi, and has three boys and four girls.

The writer of this family history, John Klecka, has nine children, five boys and four girls. The boys are: William Klecka, of Port Arthur, has five daughters and one son. Lassie Lavendudusky, of Temple, has two daughters.

Frankie 'Klecka, of Lamarque, has no children. Lillie Sliva, of East Bernard, has three boys. Annie Mueser, of East Bernard,. no children. Rudolph Klecka, of East. Bernard, has three boys. August Klecka, of East Bernard, has two daughters. Evelyn Lueck, of Temple, no children. Johnnie Klecka, of Dickinson, one boy. (This grandson and the grandfather are on the enclosed picture.

—Editor.)

My sister, Marie Krpec, of Yoakum, now deceased, left one adopted child.

Sister Emilie Kostelnik, of Hobson, has fourteen children. Boys are: Jim, Alois, Emil, Felix, Eddie, August and John Kostelnik. Daughters: Betty Rohan, Sussie Swizi, Lassie Morgan, Julia Sefcik, Mary Malik, Justina Kostelnik (deceased) and Agnes Kostelnik.

Sister Filipina Toman has two boys ((Isidore and. August) and two daughters (Rosie Kosarek and Lillie Havel.)

Sister Agnes Mazur, of Port Arthur

has three boys and four girls. The boys are: Walter, August, and Herman. The girls: Rose Hammack, Lily Mae Barras, Ann Tetreault, and Betty Couret.

Brother Rudolph Klecka, of San An tonio, has two daughters, Lucille and Mildred, and one son, Rudolph Jr. It was my wish to make this family history as complete as possible, so that the Klecka Family tree would show all of its branches, but I have the guilty feeling that I have overlooked somebody somewhere in the third generation.

But since I want to present this history at the family reunion at East Bernard on Sunday, September 4, 1955, I shall be glad to correct any shortcomings.

To all of you who belong to our family or who are in any way connected with the Klecka, group, I wish the best of luck.

A Cold Is Nothing T Sneeze At

Strana, 19 and you will be less liable to catch a cold.

Suppose you do catch cold. As a gen. eral rule, a cold runs out when nature gets the upper hand of the bugs..• An aspirin tablet with a half teaspoon of cooking soda about every four hours together with the drinking of lots of li quids, particularly fruit juices, may give some comfort. That's about all you can do, unless complications develop.

If you have a. cold, be careful not to get too close to your friends, family and fellow workers. Use a handkerchief when, you feel a sneeze or cough coming. If you have a severe cold, stay home until you are less likely to spread the infection a-, mong others.

Your, Attention, Please There is a blank at the end for , members who plan to move soon, or who have already moved to a new address and have not notified Headquarters. We hope any member who has a change of, address notice will fill in the blank and mail it to Headquarter at once.

Headquarters has received a number of complaints of late from postmasters stating that copies of the Vestnik cannot be delivered because the person to whom it is addressed left no change of address, and failed to notify us. Second Class mail does not have to be forwarded and the notice given for forwarding of First Class mail does not assure you your magazine will be forwarded by the postoffice.

Fill the blank out carefully. Be sure to include the new and the old address.

And when possible notify Headquarters before you move to your new location since it takes from two to three weeks for and address change to go into effect.

For those who may not understand why a change of address notice does not ao into effect immediately let us explain that the mailing list must be sent out well in advance, and the sooner we receive your notice the sooner you will start receiving the Vestnik at the new address.

What causes colds (and how to cure them) has puzzled mankind for thousands of years.

A cold is nothing to sneeze at for it's generally the beginning of a mighty uncomfortable time. Often, the first cold leads into a series of them, each as disagreeable as the first.

You've heard' people say, "If you call the doctor and go to bed, you'll get well in. a week; if you do nothing about your cold, it will take seven days to get well."

Doctors agree that's about the truth of it!

Doctors haven't yet discovered how to cure colds, but there are some ways of helping to prevent and make them easier to live with.

Here are some suggestions: Keep away from cold-infected people as much as possible.

Dress according to the weather, Don't put on a lot of heavy underthings that can't be taken off easily before you begin your day's work in a modern wellheated plant or office. Make a habit of wearing more outside clothes such as I have a new address! sweaters and a topcoat you can take off at your plant or office.

LEGHORN-LIVORNO It was a rainy day when we arrived in Le g horn, better known to Italians as Ln orno. As a result, the vegetation freshened and the parks and drives along the seaside were lovely. Thd hills and cliffs bordering and overhanging the sea are perenially green for they are covered with many kinds of evergreen shrubs and trees. Flowers and other vegetation grow almost to the water's edge. We made our first drive alone the coast when looking for housing. This was our first experience driving on a narrow winding mountainous road among reckless European drivers.

The Italians are about the worst motorists. On their speeding little cars they buzzed around sharp curves like daredevils beep beeping continuosuly breaking all laws, had they were on an American highway. I do believe that every Italian driver has a secret ambition to be a racer. In addition to automobiles, motor scooters, bicycles and carts and wagons add to the hazards. Between anxious moments for my life I was able to exclaim over the scenic route. This distance of about 15 miles is lined with estates, farms and summer homes which are occupied by Livornese and other Tuscans during the summer months.

There are villas ranging from moderate sizes to palaces. Each is surrounded by a well kept garden and all is enclosed in a high stone wall that one must enter through a big iron gate.

Along this route are the summer resort villages of Quercianella and Castiglioncello. After a dormant winter and spring the pensiones and hotels are filled to capacity and summer becomes a hum of constant activity. It is difficult to tell the difference between the end and the beginning of a new day.

Our housing problem was solved by leasing a villa in the suburb of Leghorn, Antignano. Ours was the typical Italian home. Our rear garden led to a terrace built about 20 feet over the water. A stairway led down to a gate which opened to the beach. My greatest pleasure wa,s to sit on the terrace in the warm sunshine and marvel at the gorgeous colors of the Mediterranean. Nothing that has ever been written about it exaggerate the beauty. To me it was like a jewel. My bedroom was upstairs facing the sea where I looked first every morning to see fishing boats draped with nets going towards a group small islands. At almost any time of clay one could see steamers, barges, freighters or pleasure boats. At night it was the soothing noise of the surf

(By Florein Burgin) splashing against, the wall of the terrace that lulled me to sleep. On stormy nights the waves crashed and often covered the terrace with water. The storms or high winds from the sea lasted for an interval of 3 days, just as the "tramontana" a hard bitter north wind which blew in from the mountains. We always counted on the winds to blow out in three days.

After moving into our new home, my first caller was an old woman asking for work, made me aware of my lack of knowledge of the Italian language. For the next several months my project was to learn something about the language.

For a while I carried a dictionary for reference on shopping trips. I soon became ashamed of this pigeon method and tackled the problem more seriously by memorizing words, conjugating verbs and learning to put them_ together in sentences. Italian still sounded like Greek or Arabic or anything else, until it dawned on, me to learn to listen to it like to music. After I learned that, and began to think in Italian it became a practical thing. During this time Maria came into my life to work as a maid.

She knew no English so that was much to my advantage and we had to learn to get along.

Without Maria housekeeping would have been a real chore. The ceilings were so high that I could not reach them with an ordinary broom. I found that the tile floors required a very special kind of soft broom for sweeping.

Wardrobes served the purpose of closets.

Screens arc not used on windows.. In the winte e the house was impossible to 1--et r the facilities provided plus ti_,„ nelibiting cost of wood and coal.

In summer the water failed to run half of the time in bath rooms upstairs because of the low water pressure, it just could not climb up that high.

Numerous problems arose to annoy me, to say nothing of flies and mosquitoes humming throughout the house.

The best advice I can give is to not notice these things and one gets along fine. My greatest problem was trying to keep warm in the winter. Although I wore sweaters and wool-lined shoes in the house I did not thaw out until the following spring. To make matters worse Maria always opened all the windows while cleaning house and let the little bit of warmth escape that took me all day to store.

There were two other people who left a lasting impression. The gardener, who seemed to come with the house and a

peasant woman who pedned her farm produce. The gardener was about 5 feet tall and had to look up to my 5 feet 21/2 inches height. He was crosseyed and when he took too much wine became a comic and somewhat of a little problem.

The children often remind me of the time he started planting tomatoes upside down after one of his spells. "La Contadina" was over GO years old, very proud of her age and strength. She was my friend in a sneaky kind of way. She called on me twice a week with her basket of eggs, chicken, pigeon, honey and sometimes homemade cheese which appeared out of the bundle of straw, unwrapped. She was very picturesque dressed in black from head toot with a huge basket on her head containing about 20 do'Zen e ggs plus the other things. She carried another small gasket which held the old fashioned scale for weighing the chickens. etc. in one hand. She always tried to cheat me by underweighing or slipping in something of poorer quality. She was very offended if I refused to buy, so I usually bought.

I must mention that riding a bus into town was an ordeal. My younger daughter best described it when she called it "a pork and bean can" bus. I used the bus frequently, for I could not develop enough courage to drive into town for several weeks. During one of my trips I lost a shoe in the shuffle.

At that moment I could not remember if shoe was a masculine or feminine noun, in Italian. I cried out the alarm• in both noun endings and about 15 minutes later the shoe was found. It is difficult to bend over when there is such a crowd of people pushing from every direction.

On one of my first trips to town I found much to my disgust that I could carry very little back with me. I did not know the foreign ways then, and expected to receive my goods wrapped securely or packaged in sacks. But that is not the way. One must carry a shopping bag to the maricet. There are no supermarkets so one must make several stops in different stores. The vegetables are sold in shops but the big open market is the biggest and most popular place. Everything is told by weight "kilos". The wasted leaves, roots or stems, are removed after weighing and paying. There is lots of shouting at this market each cart advertising in this way his or her products. The fish market was located in a closed building. All kinds of shellfish, anchovies, sardines, many kinds of large fish are found here. It was the dead octopus in heaps and sting

Wednesday, November 9, 1955 rays that"tbon took my appetite away: In the adjoining market one can buy fresh chickens which hang by the legs, entrails enclosed and head still attached. Rabbits hang in the same way as chickens only they have been dressed except for the fur.

Dinner is served at 1:30 p. in. It begins with a soup dish full of some kind of pasta (Spaghetti, noodles etc) or soup followed by meat and vegetables, then fresh fruit, then a sweet desert, then coffee. Wine is always used throughtout the meal, and most Italians eat large quantities of hard crusted unsalted bread. The average Italian family consumes very little milk. The milkman covers his route on a motor scooter or bicycle and carries what he anticipates to sell. The maid meets him at the door with a cup or small pitcher which he fills. The milk is then boiled at home, no pasteurization plants here. The children are introduced to the consumption of wine as soon as they are weaned.

They are healthy and peppy like any others so long as they are otherwise properly nourished, I failed to mention before that the evening meal is served at 8:30 p. m. I found this a most conflicting schedule, for the Italian Signoras called on me at around 5 or 6 in the evening while they still had two to 3 hours to wait until their dinner time.

Leghorn is one of the newer ports and an important one. Its history is recent so there is very little to say in the way of monuments reminiscent of an ancient day. It is noted as a summer resort and offers many nice beaches for swimming and boating. Underwater swimming and spear hunting for fish is a popular sport. To enjoy the panorama of Leghorn it is best to go to the top of "Montenero." From this point the city and surrounding area spreads out like a picture. On this mountain is located the Sanctuary of Montenero which is interesting because of its Madonna and Child done in mosaic in a primitive style and the many pictures that line the walls of the foyer. These are drawn by common people lacking artistic development. These pictures depict some miracle that happened to the artist of his family.

The famous personality from Leghorn is Pietro Moscogni, composer of the opera "Cavalleria Rusticana."

Although Leghorn did not offer a great deal for a tourist, it is only a couple of hours away from the heart of Tuscany. Anything that Leghorn lacked in antiquity could be found in Florence, Siena, Son Gimi2:nann nnei other townp.

V tu dobu se okres Fort Bend hodne sazoval a muj gvake Frank Pobotil, kterY v tu dobu bydlel v okresu Bell v osade Red Ranger, jel tak na prehledy pozethkill, a Ze mel tam nejake zname v okoli Guy, jako na priklad si pamatuji pana Frantu Marka a p.

Hdy2 jsme vlakem po Santa Fe do Rosenberg'', tak prvni zastavka neb navgteva byla udelana v salone pana Dahley, kde bylo hodne ZiznivYch na gince", a mimo jinYch se tam vyjimal p.

Do Needville jsme prijeli tenkrate po tine. Tarn se muselo zastavit, neb tam byla stanice pro Ziznive.
