Kdy2 koneene cola konstituce byla krasopisne na velke archy papiru opsana, tficet devet delegate'. listinu podepsalo a delegati se rozcha.zeli do s yYch vzdalenych do'nova, ptali se lido 2ijici ye Philadelphii sveho stariekeho abeana Benjamina Franklina, jakou vladu nebo jakeho panovnika bude nova zeme mit, kdyS bude fistava pfijata. StarY filosof Franklin odvetil: "Dali jsme vam republiku, toti2 jestli si ji udrZite." lidyZ pied neeelSrmt etyfird lety rozchazelo se na gich dye ste delegatil ze sjezdu konaneho v Houstonu, mohli napodobit Franklinova slova a Mei: "Dali jsme yam distrikty, jestli budete vedet, jak si cele zavedeni distriktu pozvolna upravit, aby to prospivalo cele SPJST." Delegati dali jen zaklad. To dalSi se panechalo k dalSimu zdokonaleni. A 2e slo2eni distriktti bude pottebovat ptenaYSleni, poznate z nasledujicich odstavcei. Pociavam zde zpravu ze scheize distriktu, ktera svolaria byla V jednom; tYdnu.

Ve stiedu due 28. prosince rozeslal

bratr predsecla SPJST v gem delegatdm prvniho clistriktu oznameni, aby se dostavili do schilze ptiati stfedu, 4. ledna 1956. Schnze byla svolana, na pill desate rano do mestske radnice v Brenham za fieelern, aby delegati prvniho distriktu zvolili i.editele a nahradnika na uprazdnine misto, ktere zastaval zesnulY bra tr Alfred C. Stepan. Ve stanovach, elanek 30-b, stoji, Se kaklY okrsek voli sveho reditele a nahradnika. V pripadu potreby, okrsek Yoh dal giho nahradnika, kdyS by mist° jeho bylo uprazdneno.

Do schdze, mein se dosta.vit etyfiaetyfleet delegatil, ale devet z nich se nedostavilo. Seznam jejich je uveden na etvrte strance. V prvnim distriktu je tficet Ctyti fady, ale 'osm fad-a nebylo za: stoupeno, Bylo dvacet minut do desiti, kdyS bratr Marek za,hajil schfizi, a bylo deset minut pies jeclenact, kdyS schtize byla ukoneena. Prilbeh schaze byl velmi pfatelskY, protoSe vSichni delegati uznavali, Se ti'eba vykonati, co stanavy ptedpisuji. Vim, Se eleni SPJST take v jinYch distriktech uznaji, se prvni distrikt utrpel ztratu odchoclem sveho mladeho a nadejneho Seditele, a ze co chive vy-Sizovala a rozhodovala samotna Hlavni idadovna y podobnYch pfipadech, zinenilo se od houstonskeho sjezdu a Ze volba "reditele musi bYti provedena piimo V distriktu.

Ve stiedu, dne 11. ledna 1956.

Tento bod take zdfiraznil bratr piedsoda SPJST v jeho zahajovaci feel, z Md cituji doslovne: "Tato schnze. vlastne. tento sjezd delegitti prvniho distriktu byl svolan za,neelem, bratfi de'eget, zvolili sveho ditektora a take nahradnika. KdyZ uZ jsme tom, ,tak meZeme zvolit take nahradnika. jak vite, vas distrikt nerna nyni zacC zastoupeni.

Svolal jsem tuto schnzi, aby distrikt mil zastoupeni. Budeme rnit n,noho jednani ye vYroeni schuzi v Pondeli, a reditele museji delati rani prohlidku, ktera, zaene zitra, v (levet' hodin rano, tak nechci, aby vas distrikt nebyl zastoupen.

Drive nez prikroehne k dalsilnu jednani, vlajku tady nemame, ale na, poCest viem mrtvym z naieho stred ehtel bych, abyste povstali. Nyni, brad chcete vYbor na poverujici listiny anebo se spokojite, kclyZ jmena. delegatti z prvniho di: striktu preetu, jak je maine na listine od POslechnho sjezdu? Tak budu valet jrnena die listiny. Na listine, je poeet hlasti kahleho radu. kid, kterY lna dva delegaty, deli hlasy na polovic. Co chcete di let s hlasy, ktere maji jen jednoho delegata pritonmeho, ale jsou opravneni na vkchny hlasy? Jcstli chcete, inti2eme dat takovemu delegatu jen co mu path anebo mu rnfiZeme dat vSecko."

Byl podan dotaz, jesft, ;a neni proti statnimu zakorm nebo proti naSim stanovam. kdy2 jeden deleg:q pfebira hlesy jineho delegate. Na to bratr Merck podal vysvetleni: "Sjezd 11-10.Ze zmenit kterekoliv pravidlo ve stanovach, kdyZ je to odhlasovano dvema t ctinami NaSe pravidla se nechaji zdienit dle naSeho prani, kdy2 mame do.,t Mesa si to =hat.

Tak my buderne podle toho vase vYlohy poeitat. Ne2 ale buderne dale pc kraeovat, bude na vas, abyste Si zvolili vag eho pfedsedu." (Hlas: Mime distriktniho pfedsedu.) "Pro tutu schitzi, pro tento sjezd, nemate fitedniky. Va gi distriktni urednici nepracuji pro toto. Na toto si musite zvolit nave firedniky. Pro tento sjezd musite mit pPedsedu, mistopPedsedu a tajemnika," a pi. edsesin distriktni schilize byl zvokn brats John A. Kuberia. delegat fadu eislo 1. Brats Jos. H. Riptak, od f. adu Novi Tibor a; isle 17, byl zvolen rnistoptedsedou, a brats D. A. Jusen, od Htdu Vernost z Effinger byl zvolc tajemnikem.

Skrutatory (seitateli hlam' byli ustanoveni delegati J. J. Krupa as; :;(111 Rovnest iislo 7 v Caldwell, Frank Holub ad ka.du Bratri Svobody Oslo 67 ze Schulenburgu, a Oscar Slovaeek od fedi' Sloven eislo 9 y e Snook. Ptedseda schtisze, brats Kube-

Ve stkedu, dne 11. ledna 1956. na, zadal, aby byl pfeeten elanek 33, neinZ je naznadeno, jake kvalifikace must miti teditel distriktu.

Do zodpovedneho itiadu taditele byli navrZeni bratr Vaclav Bakina od tadu Osveta eislo 38 ph Smithville a bratr Frank V. Stepan od tadu Hvezda Miru dislo 33 v Bleiblerville. Zjitteno ptedtim, ie vgech hiasu v distriktu, kdyZ by byli ptitomni vgichni delegati, bylo by 3,459, die listiny ptipravene hlavnirni fikedniky, bratrem Markem a bratrem Chupickem, kteti dolaledli k tomu, aby listiny, volebni listky a tuZky byly delegattim dodany.

Bratr Frank V. Stepan dostal 2315 hlast, bratr Bakina 890 hlasil. Tim stal se bratr Stepan; 591etY ptedseda tadu Hvezda Miru, keditelem prvniho distriktu. Bratr Bakina byl navrZen za nahradnika a byl zvolen bez oposice. Schilze ukoneena byla za ptl druhe hodiny od sveho zahajeni.

Zprivu o distriktni sehtizi—mohli bychom kid "o malem sjezdu"—delegatti prvniho distriktu podavam dle poznamek, ktere jsem psal pkimo ve schnzi. Soudim, ze bude to zajimati nejen eleny v prvnim distriktu, kde je dospelYch Menu pies 3500, ale take eleny v jinYch distriktech.

Hodne bodt v tizeni distriktu, pravidel, voleb distriktnich Atednikft, teditelfi, nahradnikil a jinYch einovnikt bude tteba zdokonaliti, pti nejmentim objasniti.

Na prvnim miste musi bYti vytetena otfizka autonomie (samospravy), kterou ani hlavni pfedseda ani pravni radce, ani hlavni fitadovna, ani statni odbor pojitt'ovani nemohou podle sve libosti vy svetlovati, Je to otazka, zdali distrikty jsou samostatne, asi ve smyslu mistnich radii, anebo podlehaji instrukcim a h.zeni hlavnich fitednikfi. Jestli distrikty maji svou samospravu a sva pravidla, mohou miti sve schfize a sve sjezdy na sve vydani. Jestli ale vydrini za schuzi v kteremkoliv distriktu ma se platit z pokladny, ktera path take jinkm, je spra y -ne,abydruziptlkomsve zdali sPoleene penize se mohou pouHvat na, schtizi jen nektereho distriktu. Dosud distrikty nebyly opravneny po",aclovat penize od hlavni fitadovny. DennI plat a milovne delegattim prvniho distriktu meld by poekat aZ co na to teknou jine distrikty.

V dennich novinich byly v posledni dobe zpravy o nepekne situaci nekterYch obchodnich spoleenosti, ktere prodavaji Zivotni pojitteni .PovaZuji to za svou povinnost, abych mnohe popla gne zpravy vysvetlil a zaroven abych na g e eleny ze nage SPJST a take jine bratrske spolky nemaji obavu, ze budou do jakehokoliv Skandalu zavleeeny. V tom je brave rozdil mezi vYdeleenYmi spoleenostmi a bratrskYmi organisacemi; prvni jsou ovladany nekolika j edhotlivci, mezi nimtk, se vhly najde akcionat nesvedomitY a bezzasadni; bratrske spolky jsou ,v

V2S TNt — WEST, TEXAS rukou v gech Clem, kde jenom nev gimavost a nezajem elenti mute vest k mu, ze vedeni bratrskeho spolku se dostane do rukou fitednikil bud' nedbalYch neb neschopnYch, ba dokonce nesvedomitYch. A to my nername.

Nemam po rude nejnovejS1 statistiku o pojigtujicim obchodu v Texasu. Zhruba Peden°, v Texasu rename asi testnact set spoleenosti, ktere se zabYvaji poji gt'ovanim vgeho druhu. Je to naramne vYnosnY obchod v rukou ziskuchtivYch akcionattl. Cestnou vYjiinku dini bratrske spolky, jichZ je v Texasu pouze etyticet. Nage SPJST je mezi n_inai velikosti a obchodem na patem miste. V gechny pojltfjici spoleenosti jsou pod dohleclem statniho odboru politt'ovani. Tento odbor posilk sve vyteti'ujici dozorce, aby knihy a finanoni sta y kaZde yYdeleene spoleenosti a bratrske organisace a podali statnimu komisati Zivotniho pojig t'ovani svou zpravu. Opis teto zpravy se take podle piedsedovi nebo fitednikam korporace nebo organisace. K opisu je obydejne ptipojena poehvalna zthinka nebo pokyny, co dozorci ph sve prohlidce natli.

Tito statni revisoii ci vySetiujici dozorci (anglicky examiners) jsou obyeejne ptatele nektereho vlivneho politikate.

Natal jsou vYbornYmi poetati, jini jsou revisal prinnerneho nadani, jini jsou jen politieti piitivnici, kteti se udrZi jen dokud politicks matina beli. Neda yno se vynaglo, ze nekteti z techto dozoreft se nechali podplatit, ptijimali dary, hi na hon jelenti s temi, jejichZ knihy nebyly v potadku, uZivali dobre easy p11 prohlidkach, a pak podali nepravdive zpravy.

OtyiJi z nick byli pied dvema tYdny suspendovani a sice: hlavni revisor, bydlici v Austinu; jeho asistent; a krome toho dva vytettujici dozorci, kteti prohliZeli knihy jiste obchodni spoleenosti na viklavYch zakladech.

Co je pkitom nemileho, ze jeden z techto suspendovanYch podkizerlYch met na starosti prohlidku nati SPJST, dimZ by snad mohlo vzniknout mezi na gimi eleny podezteni, ze ani na ge prohlidka nebyla provedena spravne. Zde chci zdftraznit, ze eleni SPJST nemuseji miti Zadnou obavu. Mluvil jsem o veci s bratrem Skrabankem, teditelem z pateho distriktu, kterY jednou za. pill roku prohlili finandni stay nagi SPJST. kekl ml, ze prohlidka knih nalimi tediteli je tak drikladna, jak jen mime bYt, nikdy ne povrchni a ledabyla. 6asto pry se nekterY teditel chyti s nekterYm fitednikem do krinn pro nejakou nespravnost, ale ze je to pro dobro Jednoty, ae nekdy by se zdalo, ze teditel nepravem fitoei na ttednika. Vteclimb se prohledne, napravi, ptivede do potadku, a eleni mohou bYti jisti, ze do-kud mame schopne, svedornite a nebojacno keditele, dotud v gechno v Jednote beg

Strum 3 spravne. Vysvetloval mi bratr Skrabanek, ze kde je spravna kontrola, valycky dojdo k nemilemu_ a napjatemu pomeru mezi tim, kdo kontroluje a tim, jehcd prate je prohliZena. Wady teditel chce nee° vedet nebo nektere zaznamy prozkoumat, nik zase chce znati ptieinu, prod je teditel tak zvedavY. Ale konec koncil se vgechno urovna, Utednik vyhovi a teditel je spokoj enYr. Cell jsem pozorae onu zpravu, kterou statni revisor, pozdeji suspendovany pro Uplatnictvi, nodal o na gi Jednote statnimu odboru pojitt'ovani. ZdAlo se mile, ze v innohYch mistech v girnal si veci, po kterych mu nic nebylo. V jinYch mistech podaval vysvetleni, o kterYch met pokroucenou ptedstavu. Jen malou ukazku.

Psal, ae ve schfizi Hlavni iitadovny a stavebniho vYboru bylo odhlasovano, aby Jednota ptestehovala svou fitadovnu z Fayetteville do Temple. Nevedel, ze to bylo odhlasovano ve sjezdu v Houstonu vetginou 9,568 hlasrl proti 8.294 hlastun.

Na jinem miste zapodital moadkilv fond do majetku SPJST a nevedel. ze to jsou dary na neel, s kterYm hlavni Utednici nemaji spojeni. Na jinem miste kritisoval, ae mame tit hlavy. Asi zminenY revisor zapornnel. ze samotne Spojene staty maji sve vedeni rozcleleno na oddity. Nate SPJST a take jine bratrske organisace napadobily demokratickou kontrolu, aby Zadna spoleena vec, kterk je vlastnictvim tisice a statisice 'dent, nebyla jen v jednech rukou, ktere by sveho prava mohly pozdeji tikovnYm zpUsobem EneuZiti. Mel jsem chut', kd31 jsem sveho da,su onu zpravu ptedetl, dopigi do Austinu a pouka.zi na tucet chyb ve zprave, ale pak jsem si tekl, kdyZ" to druzi nevidi, mohu take zamhoutit obe odi. Lee budeme mit novou prohlidku od jinYch odbornYch poatatil, protole statni odbor pochybuje o torn, co onen revisor do Austinu napsal. Opakuji, ze my jsme si dosed sami opravili sve chyby.

A take pevne vetina, ze clokud si sami povecleme s yrij obchod a svilj dozor, SPJST zdarne poroste. Prave v tomto tYdnu konaji nati teditele novou prohlidku, dukladnou a poctivou.

Zapisky ze sehfize Tiskoveho yjibortt, ktera se konala v Hou.stonu hned po Novein race, budou uvetejneny v kratke done. Ve schnzi byly probrany rrizne namety pro zlep geni nageho Vestniku. Podrobnosti budou v zapiscich.

padesat ctyr i, ui va staryrni Ler,u'ria Dallas 19, Texas, 1. ledna 1956 Sestry a bratii.: Predne preji jednomu jako druhenau dobre zdra,vi v tomto Novena Roku; to veseli a itspeeh se jiZ vZdy pri dobrern zdravi a dne gnich hospodarskYch pomerech nejak yytluee, ze ano.

Dues vas vezmu do sine Pada Ennis, eislo 25, a do sjezdoveho roku 1932. NemYlim-li se, bylo to v UterY odpoledne. dne 3. srpna, na ;prase strane sine tohoto raclu. ShromaZdeni na teto vyvY gene podlaze byli cleni vYboru na opravu stanov.

Tenkrat jsme je gte nemeli drie gni zip-bob vybirani Mena tohoto yYboru; byli ustanoveni az v tomto sjezdu, — a jelikoZ stanovy prijate ye sjezdu v Temple, za, jejich platnosti se tento sjezd v Ennis konal, neureuji ani jednim slovem ma ye sjezdu iteinkovati vYbor na opravu stanov, neni ani tak dalece spravne tento hlouoek delegatt nazYvati "vYbor na opravu stanov."

Jednani -Leto male skupiny bylo ale pro Jednotu velice dalelite, a dva body mne z tohoto sjezdu utkvely v mysli navZdy. Jeden byl roz gireni pole nagi naborove einnosti odporueenim dal gich plane pojistech, ci druht certifikatt, a po delSim jednani bylo rozhodnuto prijmouti tabulky D, E. F, a G pro pravidelne tridy Mena nad 16 roku stati a E-18 a J.G. pro DetskY Odbor.

Druha, dalelita zalelitost' byla ideva star*m elenum na jejich poplatkach. Nesmime zapomenouti, ze tenkrate se jegte platily otvrtletni poplatky na vydrZovani Hlavni iiradovny, etyricet pet centtit kaZde tri mesice, a take po sjezdu cleni museli prispeti na zaplaceni sjezdoyYela vYloh, jejichZ obnos byl na kahleho vypoeitan tajemnikern Hlavni irradovny a zaslan na rady k vybirani. Dodnes se pamatuji, joke potiZe s tim poplatkem byly.

JelikoZ platebni schopnost Jednoty tenkrate byla kolem sto-deseti procent, a Jednota mela ilu gnY obnos prebyteenich zaloh, po objasneni aktuara a jeho zorlpovidani mnoha otazek bylo rozhodnuto ociporueiti nasledujici opatreni do nagich stanov: "Vgichni stari cleni, dosahnuv gi stari 75 let. a kteri byli deny Jednoty po 35 roka, budou opravneni sraZce imartnich popla,tkii na polovici, ale jen do to doby, pokud nage solvence bude ne merle jak 104 proc."

Toto opatreni se tYkalo tenkrate stare, v ten eas jiZ uzayrene tridy A. — a ve g yysvetlovani a planovani se tail°-kere kolern teto tridy jenom. A v torn smyslu se ma_dne gni elanek 54 take dosud povaZovati. Nemohlo se toto rozhodnuti nikterak tYkati tfidY C, ktera nebyla v ten

eas ani osm rokil stares a mela velice mapoeet elenti, a jine tridy jsem v ten eas ani nemeli, mimo tridu B. Tento elanek zustal v doslovnim zneni po sjezdu v East Bernard v 1936, ale ye sjezdu v Taylor byl zmenen. Ureoval. ze LaZdY"rOk. po oznaineni sel yerice Jednoty cela Illavn tiradovna jaka sleVa ma bYti poskytnuta Y gem starYm elenin, ye "forme prohairauti poplatkir, kteri jsou v Jednote od 35 let nahoru a kteri dosahli stari 70 do 75 let. Bylo tedy stari, erem Men slevu dostane, sniZeno na 70 roku.

Ve sjezdu v Corpus Christi, roku 1944, tento elanek nebyl menen. Ale, nasledujici sjezcl, ve "Fort Worth v roku 1948 s timto elankem Skarede zatoeil, — a byl jsem po sjezdu obvinen, ze jsem jej ye stanovech zmenil ja. Pavodne, tento elanek eislo 55 stanov prijatYch ye sjezdu v Corpus Christi; nebyl zmenen yYborem na opravu stanov v jejich schtizi West, ktera byla konana, ye dnech sobotu, nedeli a pondeli, kvetna 1948, jak 'jest podano ye zprave tohoto vYbora, uverejnene ye Vestniku ze dne 26., kvet-na 1948.

A take byl tento elanek ye sjezdu ye Fort Worth pitat jak vYborem podan, bez jakYchkoliv zmen neb oprav, jak, protokol tohoto sjezdu, uverejnenY dne 11. srpna 1948, ukazttje, — vzdor tomu, odpoledne ye stredu, dile 21. eervence, byla sjezdem prijata a sch yalena zpraya sjezdoveho organisaeniho yYboru ktera odPorueovala, aby byly ygem elentun vyplaceny dividendy a ureovala, aby tyto Hlavni aradovna, spolu s aktuarem Jednoty, yypracOvala. JelikoZ nebyl vypracovan a.. podan ureity navrh na tyto dividendy- a take tedy nebyl sjezdu podan, byl tento bod resoluce pozdejgim mutim nezmeneneho elaoku 55, ye etyrtek odpoledne, poraien.

Ale, po preeteni a .schvaleni posledniho elanku stanov, a neZli tyto mohly byti schvaleny v celku, rozpredla se debata stran tech dividend zase. 0 vyplaceni dividend se primlouvalo mnoho delegatir a 'dent Hlavni itradovny, a koneene bylo rozhodnuto ve prospech vyplaceni dividend a upraveni elanku ktery by dividendy ustanovoval bylo data° vyboru na opravu stanov, ktery tuto zalelitost nael za poledni prestavky s aktuarem srovnati.

Jak aktuar dividendy yYboru vysvetloval, mely tyto bYti placeny kaZdemu elenu pc) trech letech elen.st yl a toto yyZadovalo opravu elanku 55 uzavrenim 'vy pro deny tridy A tak, ze dosavadni tileva v teto tride byla ponechana tern elenam, kteri ji2 dlevu dostavali, nebyli ale opravneni na dividendy, a vgichni

ostatni cleni tidy A, kteri by po uplatneni novych stanov dosahli stall. 70 roktere by je bylo, nebYti to zmeny, opraynovalo k ideve, meli dostati jenom dividendy.

Celd tato zailaitost byla Undo rozhodnutim notno za gmodrchovana a nerd divu ze star' cleni protestovali. Sjezd y Houstonu mse ustanovil uIevu, jen ye trochu pozmenenem zneni. dnesni elanek 54; a elanek jednajici o dividendach zrugil jako nepraktickY. Cola dividendova Yee nebyla , dobre promy glena a take nikdy nebyla provadena tak, jak ji tuar v to schtizi s yYborem na opravu stanov naertnul.

Nikdy jsem pro dividendy nebyl, — take nikdy nebudu, a jseu pro to velice dobre prieiny. 0 divide/lc-Lich se jiZ jednalo pied jinymi sjezdy, jako pomoc naboro ye prael pro na ge jednatele. Nikdy jsme ale takovou pomhcku nepotrebovali, protcre poplatky na na ge pojigteni oproti jinYm Jednotam jsou tak mirne, ze kaZdemu elenu davaji dividendy zarueene, davaji mu je predem, hued V prynim roku, a nemusi eekat aZ jak vYroeni zprava dopadne; a ani potom nevi jiste jak vein neb males to dividenda bude.

Nejlep gi se tento dividendovy rozdil v poplatkach na gi Jednoty oproti poplatktim jine yelike jednoty s nami o krajansky pojigt'ujici obchod soutelici ukazuje v porovnani poplatku na.=A tridy I, dvaceti-splatkova, nadaeni ye veku 60 roku, s dvacetiasplatkovou, nadaeni ye veku 65 gedesat pet) ran' teto konkureneni jednoty. Jak vidno, na ge Jednota vypla ti pojistku o celYch pet roku &lye; ale podivejte se je gte it tornu na ten rozdil v poplatkach.

Ve stari 15 rokti poplatek u na g na tuto nadaeni ye van 60 ( gedesat) rokii jest $23.62 roene na Hlavni Uradovnu, mimo poplatkil radovYch; na to konkurecni nadaeni ye veku 65 roku ale paplatek jest v tomto stari $27.28.

To same y e stari 25 rokti; poplatky jsou u nas $29.32 — u souteZe na nadaeni y e veku 65 rokii jest to $33.35; — stari 35 jest to $38.67 oproti $41.44 a hotove o pet rokft pozdeji. Ve star' 39 roku jest to: u na gi Jednoty $43.84 a u souWe jest to $45.52, a botove o pet rokit pozdeji. Zde jsou dobre dtikazy. Tak jape pak davani dividend vgem?

Jak ale dues ten elanek 54 jest sestay en, potrebuje trochu yyjasnoni. Dnegni zneni ma,2e dati podnet k domnence, ze Men, kdyZ dosahne staki 70 rokii, dostane slevu na poplatkach na v gechny certifikaty, ktere by nahodou, neb chytrYin poeitanim, u Jednoty y lastnil, at' jsou

Strana 10 v platnosti deset, dvanact neb patnact rokii.

Puvodni myglenka alevy, jak jsem j tenkrate pri to schaze vYboru na opravu stanov v Ennis pochopil, byla, Ze certifikat musi bYti v platnosti tricet pet roku. ne4li ten seclindesati-peti letY, dnes ovgera sedmdesati-letY, Glen jest °pra ylien k ideve. To dokazuje skuteenost, jsme meli do doby toho sjezdu jen dye pojistky, to jest, tkidu B, doZivotni, a tridu. C, dvaceti-letou doZi yotni. Nemobl.o se tedy mysleti, 4e by se to aleva vztahovala na tyto tridy, jen sedm roku stare. Byly prijaty ve sjezdu v Houstonu v roku 1924.

'Bude tedy treba. opraviti tento elanek 54 tak, aby urenval, ze ka4dY certifikat, ne4li bude opraynen po dosa4enem ti na slevu na poplatkach, musi bYti v platnosti pluych tricet pet roku, tak jak to bylo v Ennis pavodne mineno.

Zde ale se nam zase naskyta otazka, jakou vYhodu poskytneme tem elenfn, kteki drZi. u Jednoty certifikaty na 'hatove splatky a maji tyto ji4 dam() doplacene. Dame jim dodateene pojigteni? ,slevu na poplatkach dostati nemohou.

Kdy.4 by se dodatedne poji gteni uskuteenilo, zase se nam naskyta otazka, budeme-li eekati, a2 tyto doplacene certifikaty budou v platno.sti. 35 midi, aneb jestli dobu platnosti sni4ime jen na 30 rokil.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR MANY OF OUR SPJST MEMBERS could not help but read, in the daily papers about what some journalist called "Texas insurance debacle." But there is no reason whatsoever for our SPJST members to be alarmed or even disturbed by the stories in the newspapers. * THERE ARE NEARLY TWO THOUsand insurance companies of all kinds in operation in Texas. There is also a Board of Insurance Commissioners, composed of three members: the Life Insurance Commissioner who ha.s supervision of matters relating to life insurance, to the examination and to the chartering of companies; the Fire Insurance Commissioner who has general supervision of matters relating to fire and allied lines, marine and inland marine insurance; and the Casualty Insurance Commissioner who has general supervision of matters relating to casualty, motor vehicle, workmen's campensation, fidelity, guaranty, title. and miscellaneous insurance. The Life Insurance Commissioner used to be Chairman of the Board. The law, effective last September, requires the board to select its own chairman.

THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE grouped according to the provisions of their charters. The life insurance companies are either stock companies, mutual companies, or fraternals. A stock company is one organized by the sale of stock to investors. Ownership and control is vested in the stockholders, who also reap all the benefits. In a mutual company, the management is vested theoretically in the policyholders, but from a practical viewpoint, control is exercised by the board of directors, and it is extremely rare for such control to be challenged. Fraternal societies are neither stock nor mutual. They are controled by the members who meet every month or often in local groups and meet at least once in four years to elect new officers to manage the affairs of the society.

The term "domestic" company designates those insurance concerns incorporated and formed in this State. The term "foreign" company means any insurance company organized under the laws of any other state of the United States, or even foreign country. As an illustration, there are about two hundred stock life companies in Texas, about one-half of which are organized under the Texas laws, and the other one-half under the laws of some other state. There are forty fraternal societies operating in Texas, but only seven of these were organized under the Texas laws and have their headquarters in Texas.

THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD of Insurance Commissioners, once in two years, or oftener if it deems necessary, sends examiners to visit each company organized under the laws of this State who examine its financial condition and its ability to meet its obligations, as well as to examine the conduct of its business. The examiners have free access to all the books and papers of the company, and shall have power to summon and examine under oath the officers, directors, agents, and employees of such company. The expenses of all examinations are paid by the company examined. * *

IT WAS REPORTED THAT FOUR examiners had been suspended for taking gifts from the officers of one company with shaky foundation. The gifts consisted of entertainments, meal tickets, deer hunting 'trips, a small radio. All such favorite gestures are strictly against the law. Suspended were a chief examiner, an assistant chief examiner, and two field examiners. The latest report indicates that there will be a general shake-up in the entire department.

A new chairman was elected, and the Commission called on an army of 2,500 certified public accountants to check the books of every Texas insurance company within a year. This, of course, will be at the company's expense. CommisALL THE INSURANCE COMPANIES sioner Garland A. Smith, who up to in Texas are classified still another way.

relinquished his position to the new Chairman, J. Byron Saunders, Casualty Commissioner, 46 years old, a • Tyler lawyer, a former county judge, and former assistant district attorney of Smith County.

A COMMITTEE OF TEXAS ACcountants have already been organized to help the Insurance Board set up minim um standards for examinations.

The examinations may not be completed within a year. The acceptance of assignments will depend entirely upon the individual certified public accountant's arrangements or upon the firms of accountants. It will be a splendid public service. With the CPA's outstanding professional reputation for honesty, integrity, and impartiality, it will be the right step to win the confidence of those insurance firms who at present time are under a shadow of doubt or suspicion.

YOUR EDITOR WISHES TO DRIVE home one fact: the fraternal societies operating in Texas do not have to be afraid of another examination. The fraternal societies may have occasionally plenty of internal friction, but for several decades they have been in the best financial conditions. The fraternal societies, operating in Texas, may not be any financial giants in comparison with the stock and the mutual companies, but every one of them operate on legal reserve basis with high percent of legal reserve and surplus. * SPEAKING OF OUR OWN SPJST, WE had a recent examination. It is unfortunate that our report was signed by one who was suspended, but that does not mean that our affairs are not in good shape. Our books are audited every six months by the seven directors.

In addition, we have another safety device in our By-laws, Article 51-k: Following the first of January of the convention year, the directors are required to employ a "certified public accountant who will prepare a detailed report to be presented to the convention.

REPORTS FROM DISfRICTS REPORT FROM DISTRICT TWO This is a last minute reminder and invitation for all SPJST members of District 2 and all ether interested persons to attend the coming district meeting on next Sunday, January 15. The allday meeting will begin at 10:00 a. m. and will be at the SPJST Tyrs Lodge Ef) Hall in Holland.

Although the entertainment program and dinner will be of interest to everyone, the business sessions also promise to be very interesting. Although a variety of business will be considered, the major item of business will be the district membership's discussion and action on. the proposed by-laws changes adopted by the District 2 Steering Committee at its Holland meeting on last December 29.

At its meeting, the steering committee reviewed the proposed by - law changes recommended by other SPJST districts, approved some of them and rejected or modified others, and adopted some suggestions submitted by the District 2 Steering Committee members.

These proposed by-law changes pertain to such subjects as reforms in the SPJST loans on property procedure, basis for determining convention delegate numbers, and many by-laws designed to place the present SPJST districts in a more important and useful position within the democratic structure and processes of the SPJST. The details of these proposed by-law changes are too lengthy for inclusion in this report. However, all members are urged to be present for the reading, discussion, and action on these proposed by-law changes and to contribute their views and other by-law suggestions as these various subjects are considered at the district meeting.

COMMITTEE. )• •( LODGE LOVELADY NO. '74 Crockett, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: We had our SPJST local Lodge meeting at the R. V. 0. S. Lodge Hall. We had only five members present, out of 31 members. You know if we can't do better, then that, we will be loosing members instead of increasing. Next time we will have our S. P. J. S. T. meeting at the same time that we have our R. V. 0. S. meeting. At least, I think it will work out better that way, since most of the members belong to both organizations. We may get better attendance.

Officers elected for the year of 1956 are: Martin Svoboda, president; Chester Shmoldas, secretary; Rudy Michka, financial secretary; Paul Sterban, treasurer.

The directors has set the Lodge dues at 60c per year, for each member for this coming year.

It has been suggested by the directors that the dues should be paid to the secretary. So please, members, that have not paid your dues for this year, send it to your local lodge secretary, or you can pay it at our next meeting.

Brothers and Sisters, let's all be present at our next meeting; let's build up this Lodge so that we can be proud of it. We all need to get together and plan some kind of recreation, so that our young members get together, play together.

I better close for this time. Happy new year to everybody.

Wednesday. January 11, 1956

AN EXTRA SERVANT FOR ONLY $12 Why run to the kitchen at a certain time to turn on the broiler for dinner —or shut it off? Why leave your bed in the morning just to start the coffee or turn on the heater, or even warm up the car?

A modern electric time switch will perform these and dozens of other chores for you, such as controlling your house lights or converting your ordinary radio into a clock device. Such a switch is about the size of a woman's hand, with a 24-hour dial on its face. It has a socket on one side into which you plug the appliance to be controlled, and on the other an electric cord to plug into any electrical outlet. You then set the dial for the time you want the appliance turned on.

You can buy one of these handy household servants for as little as $7 and a multi-purpose device will cost you about $12. It can start an electrical appliance at any time you select and turn it' off at a pre-determined moment.

Don't confuse it with clock timers which merely buzz to remind you when an appliance should be turned off; a time switch does the actual turning off or on.

For example, it can switch on an auxiliary electric heater in a cold bathroom on a chilly morning while you are still in bed, or, in the summer, control an air conditioning or ventilating unit.

It can automatically turn on an attic fan at a predetermined time each day and shut it off without any attention or effort on your part.

It can also control cooking appliances, a sun. or heat lamp, a washing machine, a heat pad or an electric blanket. You can even use one to warm up your car on a cold morning, if the garage is close enough.

But you do need to select a time switch that's well designed to do a number of jcbs, rather than a special-purpose type. Many women, for example, are keenly interested in the use of automatic switches for defrosting refrigerators—one of the most hated of kitchen chores. But some switches sold especially for this purpose are not always satisfactory because they're set to defrost for about 2 1-2 to 5 hours once a night. This defrosting period may also thaw frozen foods stored in the freezing compartment. Ice cubes are not harmed by refreezing after thawing but the quality and flavor of frozen food may be affected adversely by thawing and refreezing.

However, you can buy a utility time switch that can be set for as short an interval as 15 minutes, thus enabling

you to defrost your refrigerator for shorter periods, more often. This more closely resembles the much-prized selfdefrosting operation on the new refrigerators, which operates for periods of only seven to twenty minutes.

Some time switches will perform only one on . off operation in 24 hours. But there are others, much more useful, that require only 45 minutes between resettings, so you can use them through out the day (and night) for various chores.

When buying a time switch, pick one with comparatively high wattage; then you can use it with your larger appliances. Some switches have capacities as low as 600 watts, which will handle most small appliances, like a wafflemaker, but not an electric roaster, for instance, or some of the larger electric heaters.

The most versatile time switch is a new model of 1650-watt capacity and a cube tap on the side to handle up to three appliances at once—provided the total wattage does not exceed 1650. Thus at night you can plug in your coffee maker, radio and an electric extension cord with an ordinary bulb on one end of it, which you place under the hood of your car in the garage. In the morning the radio will waken you, the coffee will begin perking, and the bulb will start warming your engine. This switch lists for $14, but some electronics and radio supply dealers sell it for $10 to $12.

A portable type time switch is more useful than those which are wall mounted for use in a single room, usually the kitchen.

Be sure the time switch you select has suitable timing capacity for the uses you plan for it. some have dials marked in fifteen minute intervals, while others are calibrated in one-minute intervals for more exact settings.

Some will operate up to one hour. This is enough for most uses, especially for kitchen appliances. But if you want a greater degree of control, switches are available which operate up to four hours before turning off the appliance.

Here are some other ways a time switch can help you: Light control: You can set the switch to turn on porch or yard lights at a certain hour. The switch can also turn on a lamp or two inside the house for burglary protection.

Washing machine: You can use the switch to make your washer at least semi-automatic, by setting the switch

to turn it off after a certain time, say 20 minutes. Not only does this eliminate the need, for being in attendance, but it is useful for short period special purpose washes, as in the case of colored or delicate fabrics.

Clock radio: You can use time switch to convert any radio you already own into a clock radio that will wake you up in the morning. But if you do want to get a regular clock radio, the most versatile models now have an appliance switch, too. Thus, the radio will waken you and simultaneously turn on one appliance. Some costlier clock radios also have a lullaby switch that automatically turns off the radio at night. One of the newest clock-radios is a pin-up model that can be attached to a wall, to save table space. Good clock radios cost $30-$40.

Cooking: Besides turning on breakfast appliances, a time switch can be a special help if you are a busy woman.

You can prepare dinner, place it in a roaster or on an electric hot plate, and go shopping or do other work while the switch assumes responsibility for turning off the cooker. Or you can use a switch to start the meal before you get home from work.

Another interesting use some people have found for the switch is to have it turn on, at a specific time, a tape recorder with a message on it for members of the family.

A time switch, of course, can only be used with electrical appliances, not gas.

But in this age of electrical living, it can provide a host of helping hands. )• •( I SHALL NOT WANT

Immediately after World War II the Allied armies gathered up many hungry, homeless children and placed them in large camps. There the children were abundantly fed and cared for. However at night they did not sleep well. They seemed restless and afraid.

Finally, a psychologist hit on a solution. After the-children were put to bed, they each received a slice of bread to hold. If they wanted more to eat, more was provided, but this particular slice was not to be eaten—it was just to hold.

The slice of bread produced marvelous results, The child would go to sleep, subconsciously feeling it would have something to eat tomorrow. That assurance gave the child a calm and peaceful rest. ) • 4,1 Sometimes it seems like it's the hand that cradles a rock that rules the world.

YOUR CHU) AFRAID OF DOCTORS? Mothers and fathers have the impression that early childhood fear of doctors is unavoidable. They do not realize that they acquired their own childhood feelings about examinations, vaccinations and other medical attention, through experiences that their parents might easily have helped them avoid. . Through the way you introduce your child to medical care or through neglect of fundameaalle't for promoting emotional growth, you can cause him to be afraid. If your own emotional feelings at being in a doctor's office cause you to hold your baby closer as if he were in danger; if you seek to reassure yourself by constantly telling your child that the doctor will not hurt him; or if you suggest unknown danger by asking him to be brave when the doctor examines him, your child will • learn from you that he is to expect the worst. His fears will be caused more by your attitude than by what the doctor does to him.

The child of a mother or father who accents the negative aspects rather than the positive values of medical care is improperly prepared for an experience with a doctor. No matter how friendly and gentle the doctor may be, he will be under suspicion. The child will go to him as to an enemy. All moves made by the doctor in the course of examination or treatment will be looked upon as dangerous and hurtful. When it is necessary for the doctor to cause only minor and temporary discomfort there will be trouble. In this child's emotional state of excessive fear, little hurts will be greatly magnified. Each succeeding meeting with the doctor will be more difficult.

If your child's visit to the doctor is to involve treatment, be sure to say so when you tell him where you are going.

Even if you do not anticipate treatment, it is better not to get the child to go by assuring him that nothing is to be done. If you give such assurances, you cannot mraintain your reputation for trustworthiness in connection with medical care unless you then defer any needed. blood count, injection, etc., to a later visit. If you do not know what the doctor may do, it is better to say that "the doctor may need to do some things to keep you well that we do not know about now." You can add that "whatever this may be it will be done gently and soon over." You can assure your child you will be there to take care of him and to help him.

Where treatment will make the child UncOmfortable for a moment, it is well

to admit this fact. You might say, just as any discomfort starts, "this hurts but the doctor . will be - through in a minute." After the treatment is given do not hesitate to supply the necessary comfort and sympathy to the child. In most cases this should be the same kind of help you would give at home for a minor scratch or hurt inflicted while he is learning to walk or trying to manipulate a new toy. Nothing is to be - gained by overdoing sympathy in either case. As in minor temporary hurts at home, the child who is not treated as if some major injury has occurred when the doctor causes discomfort, will approach the next such situation with caution, but he will not be too afraid to meet and try to master it.

Never use derision or sarcasm in efforts to make the child stop crying or stop resisting the doctor. Do not allow others to make use of these methods.

They do the development of desirable emotional control no good. They may do harm. Fear is not a shameful way of behavior and a child should not be teased about being afraid. Parents who truly understand what fear is, know that when a little child is afraid he needs sympathetic assurance and practical help with learning how to master or to get through the fearful experience.

Let your child cry if he is hurt and sympathize with him. Never attack expressions of distress by saying that big boys and girls don't cry. In the first place this statement is not true. Big boys and girls do cry ;and even grown men and women do run away if a situation is fearful enough or if an experience is painful enough to make them do so. The reason big boys and girls do not cry as much or run away as often as little boys and girls is that they usually understand better. You may tell, your child to "try not to cry" or to "try not to be afraid." Your child always will be helped by a chance to learn that when one is so busy expressing the way he feels about a problem, there always is, more than the necessary air mint of trouble in solving it.

Give, as nearly as you can, the amount of sympathy that the inflicted pain deserveS and do not try to shame the child into niece appropriate behavior the next time.

There are also some small ways to be help ful in developing constructive childhood attitudes toward doctors. Avoid all long waits in the doctor's reception room if you can. The best way to 'do

this is by making a definite appointment. If a long wait cannot be avoided, interpret the situation to your child and help him settle down to wait. You can explain that "the doctor is busy helping many people keep well and you have to wait your turn." It would be good. to be able to add, "this is why we brought along your picture book."

If you enter into conversation with other waiting parents, do not seek to exclude the children. This will be neither the time nor the place for strictly adult visiting and exchange of adult confidences about your child's need for medical attention. Remember that children will be listening to what you say and learning from the attitude.s you express. Your adult conversations about medical care should point toward the doctor as a person of positive value who brings relief.

It is good to relate a trip to the doctor for -unpleasant treatment to some extra pleasure like a trip to the store for a toy or a visit to the park. But such pleasures should not be used as bribes to get your child to the doctor's office. Better attitudes are promoted when they are presented then as incidental to the trip downtown. Remember to treat your child so that he feels he deserves your love for what he means to you all of the time. He never should have the idea that he might win or lose your affection because of the way he behaves on some specific occasion.

How your little child may learn to fear doctors and usual medical care will not be limited to the way you act and to what you say when he must 'see a doctor. Your everyday attitudes toward all questions of health and the way you report in the child's presence on your own medical experiences will be important. If your little boy or girl is to have the best chance to learn that doctors are friends who help children grow better and keep well longer, doctors must consistently be presented in this manner. If your child is to feel that doctors know the best ways to help us get well when we are sick, he must hear doctors described in this way.

Just as their mothers and fathers do, young children meet and manage their problems by bringing to bear experiences which a particular problem calls to mind. Past experiences do not have to be personal. A specific situation can remind one of what he has heard about such experiences and What he has heard will influence his reactions as quickly as what he has directly known. Par-

Strana 18 ents may not be deeply concerned about their child's safety in connection with a routine physical examination. They May give him no reason for being afraid while they are with him in the doctor's office and yet they may be faced with extreme fear and emotionally dominated resistance to the doctor by the child.

Such behavior might serve to remind us that when we talk with other adults about our operations or illnesses in the presence of small children, we should alwa ys remember to add the ha pp y ending to our stories. "The operation was upsetting and there was pain, but we are well now, much better than we Would have been without the doctor's core or the operation. We are glad that we have good doctors to help us get Well when we are sick." help your child build the constructive attitude that the doctor is his friend, your valuable helper who will show you how to keep the child well and 'strong, and how to make him feel good again if he is sick. Never, never, Under any circumstances, use the docth y as a threat. This might prove to be a highly effective way to control socialbehavior, but it can be costly to horbial emotional growth and detrimental to the maintenance of good health, Yeti will, from the beginning, be a greater influence than the doctor in prOtecting your boy or girl against undesirable fears and other unconstructive emotional reactions to medical care. ) • ALSO KEEP THE ORIGINAL A "Teen-Age Ten Commandments" was recently adopted by 4,000 student delegates of the Federation of High Schools in San Francisco.

TOOTH DECAY I 1 CHILDREN What would your answer be if yoUr child asked: "Mama, may I have a toothache? I want to , ruin my teeth."

Your child will not ask for candy or soft drinks or a cube of lump sugar in exactly those words, but, according to dental authorities, children literally are asking for an aching tooth when they beg for sugars.

Tooth decay is one of civilization's most common diseases. Few escape it entirely. Others experience effects as long as they live. It may begin as soon as the first teeth appear. It is common by the third year` of life and will continue to occur as long as there are teeth in the mouth. As high as 50 per cent of two-year-old children have one or more decayed teeth.

We all know that dental caries can result in suffering, loss of teeth and disfiguration. Why, then, do we fail to take the known precautions to prevent tooth decay — particularly in young children whose health is an adult responsibility?

None of us would deliberately expose our children to other diseases, and yet there is seldom much, if any, resistance to a child's plea for' sugar—the prime destroyer of teeth.

Dental caries (cavities) are the result of bacterial attack on the surface of the erupted tooth. Dental decay does not affect the enamel of the tooth developing within the jaw. Since the erupted tooth cannot get any, more calcium from the blood, the start of decay is not related to the amount of calcium in the diet.

For many years it was supposed that if the body were supplied with large quantities of calcium and vitamin D, caries would surely be prevented (especially in the teeth of children). Unfortunately this is not true.

While the tooth germ is developing within the jaw of a child it does require calcium in order to be properly formed and calcified. The erupted tooth cannot use the calcium in the blood stream since enamel and dentin do not contain blood vessels. It is clear, therefore, that while calcium is needed for the proper calcification of the developing enamel it is of no value to the erupted enamel and has nothing to do with the prevention of caries.

Excessive amounts of carbohydrates in the diet, particularly sugars, above the energy needs are harmful and a major factor in causing tooth decay.

The relation of sugar and tooth decay Some people would see better days has been well established. Dental scienif they didn't run around all night. tists have shown that acid-forming bac-

teria which attack tooth enamel require a food that can be broken down quickly to form) acids. Sugars on the tooth surface can be turned into acids with remarkable rapidity by certain bacteria which are present in the mouth. Each time we eat a sweet, the teeth are attacked by acids which are p roduced from the sugar by the bacteria in the mouth.

The saliva of the average person (with the help of the alkaline foods also eaten at mealtime) can easily neutralize the small amounts of acids produced during mealtimes, so that decay does not result. However, nibbling on candies, cookies and other sweets between meals or drinking sugar-laden drinks multiplies the acid attacks so enormously that the .sali.va can no longer cope with the acids.

Sweets eaten between meals are particularly injurious because they stick to the teeth for comparatively long periods of time. They are not brushed off the teeth by other foods.

A portion of a resolution adopted recently by the American Dental Association reads: WHEREAS, the Council on Foods and Nutrition of the American Medical Association has reported that sugar in the diet too frequently becomes a substitute for foods of higher nutritive value, and WHEREAS, a recent report adopted by the Council on Dental Health and the Council on Dental Therapeutics pro vides a comprehensive review of the published evidence of the dental hazards of high levels of sugar consumption, therefore, in the interest of public health, be it RESOLVED, that the Association recommend voluntary restriction in the consumption of sweetened beverages and confections, and be it further RESOLVED: that the Association recommend that dental societies call to the attention of school administrators the need for eliminating from schools the sale of sweetened beverages and confections.

Many school authorities throughout the country have banned the sale of sweetened beverages and confections in the .schools, but the excessive consumption of sugar in the homes becomes the sole responsibility of parents.

The price children will have to pay for overindulgence in sweets is so great and so painful, parents should steel themselves and say "no" and to be aware of the sugar content in the foods and drink their children crave between meals.—Life Today.

MEN--DON'T FOOL YOURSELVES What's happening to the American male? Like every other male of every other nation at every other period of history, he has strutted across the stage of life with flexed muscles, proud talk and a. puffed-up sense of sex superiority.

But the fact is that he's a fake. Nature knows it. Statistics prove it. The human male is actually a fragile being.

He is no match for the female.

Getting down to fundamentals, he is unable to live as long as she can. He succumbs. She survives. And the gap of life between them is steadily widening.

In 1920, the mortality rate for white men between 45 and 54 years of age was 10 per cent higher than that for women. In 1950, it was 78 per cent higher!

The fragile male can't take it, and his pitiable plight is reflected in many of the classified columns of mortality.

Let's take a look.

According to 1951 United States data, deaths among females from infectious and parasitic diseases were only about half as frequent as among males.

Only 70 per cent as many women died from diseases of the heart, circulatory and respiratory systems, as did men.

Only 40 per cent as many women died from violent accidental deaths.

There were three times as many suicides among men, and three times as many homicides.

In 1951, motor vehicle accidents to pedestrians killed 6.519 white men, compared to $1,762 white women.

The bites and stings of venomous animals and insects killed nearly three 'times as many men as women.

Even as a victim of lightning, the male succumbed at a rate more than four times greater than that of women.

How does he get that way? One answer may be that he was born that way.

We can be duly alarmed about the frail-, ty of the male after birth. But we can be almost equally alarmed about his frailty even before birth. Seventeen per cent more males than females die from congenital deformity. During the first year of life, 36 per cent more boys than girls are stricken down.

Today the average man can expect to live six years less than the average woman. But if there is a secret to it all, Nature knows it well.

While we continue to glorify thfa myth of male superiority, Nature shrewdly produces more males at birth than females. By sheer weight of num-

bees, she—and curiously, we endow Nature with, the feminine pronoun—seeks to balance the scales. The higher death rate of males is compensated by a higher birth rate, so that at age 20 the two sexes are about aqual in number. But thereafter, as we all know, the female takes over.

The fact is that for better or worse, this is not a man's world, There is more than a hint that the female fundamentally is the biological superior of the miale. Birth and death rates for males have always been higher than for females.

It n:ay well be that the changing nature of work has a bearing on the problem. Men are considered more dynamic than women, and Nature may have intended their energy to be dissipated largely by physical exercise. But today physical exercise is not the necessary part of work that it once was; .moreover, it is assiduously avoided by many.

This is not to say that exercise, particularly at certain ages and under certain conditions, should not be sensibly regulated. But while there is such a thing as too much, there may. also be too little.

Then again, there is one's attitude toward work, which may be even more significant than work itself. Possibly the temperament of women renders them more likely than men to escape the effects of worry, frustration, disappointment and tension. Women are measurably inclined to vent their feelings in tears or even occasional hysterics. Men, on the other hand, may be more prone to repress their reactions —until they break forth in ailments such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and ulcers.

Between the periods 1921 to 1926 and 1942 and 1947, the death rate for men 45 to 54 years old from cardiovascular renal diseases increased 35 per cent. In the same period, it decreased by 27 per cent among women. Practically the same trend was noted in mortality from peptic ulcer.

Men are naturally more aggressive and venturesome than women. Their lack of caution might explain hazards like their higher venereal disease rate, greater addiction to alcohol, and greater tendency to homicide and accidents.

It may also be true that they get around more, and therefore suffer greater exposure to diseases such as tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, pneumonia and influenza. However, we have yet to learn whether males contract infections and communicable diseases more fre-

quently than do women, or whether they are simply less resistant to them and recover less often.

Of special importance may be the fact that women receive better care— and take better care of themselves. It is noteworthy that there are many more specialists in diseases of women than in diseases of men. Moreover, federal and state governments have had special health programs for women for more than twenty-five years, while none has been aimed specifically at improving the health of men. The child-bearing role of the female doubtless explains this discrepancy, for most public health activities on behalf of women have been toward the end of reducing illness and mortality connected with childbirth.

But a greater health consciousness among women may have been among the corollary results.

Sickness surveys show that women are ill more often than men—but the, availability of the statistics may be merely an indication that they are more inclined to seek medical assistance. As far back as 1662, John Graunt, London'S pioneer actuary, reported physicians ,aS saying "that they have two women. pa7 tients to one man."

Women may also follow the directionS of a physician more carefully than do men, and may have a greater tendency than men to stay home from work for and illnesses.

What to , do about it all? Until research provides clearer answers, we must content ourselves with certain obvious measures: For one thing, beginning early, , we should pay more attention to our boys.

While it is well known that accidents take their greatest toll among children, it is not usually realized that most of them involve boys. Even in the first year of life, the male death rate ,frOnn accidents in the United States exc'eeds that for females by 23 per cent: It is possible that even in the cradle our boys are penalized by less care and watchfulness?

Throughout our entire lives, our :! attitudes are molded by the common belief that boys are hale and 'hearty; while girls are delicate and frail. But these notions are alarmingly reversed by the facts.

As a second step, we should put fewer burdens on men. The difference in mortality between men and women is notably sharp in the working years between 35 and 65. A man should relax when ' he comes home after a day's

Strana 20 work and not overdo his attempt to keep up with the Toneses—especially in such matters as the appearance of the home, garden, car or even children. Is it profitable for us to burn the fuel of life's candle in a few short years, when with sensible conservation it is sufficient to light our path for extended years of happiness?

Men should learn to take care of themselves during minor illnesses. They should get at least as much rest, medical attention and hospitalization as women do. And they should find more time for recreation and hobbies.

Little is said about the strength, or superiority of the women in Biblical days, but we are all familiar with the proud, superlatives of the men. There was Solomon, the wisest; Goliath, the tallest; Samson, the strongest; Methuselah, the oldest. Bible stories ring with the implication of male dominance and predominance.

But something has happened. Something is happening. This is the Age of Woman—and a riper age it is. We need to know more about it to preserve the fragile, male. ) e?„ * WE FAIL TO PLAN AHEAD We have all heard a great deal about the folly of living beyond our means.

Whole libraries have been filled with good sound advice on budgeting our resourees. This is so deeply impressed on most of us, from childhood on, that we spend our lives determined to make the "income" and "outgo" columns match.

Most of us succeed fairly well. Sometimes, though, we concentrate so rigidly on not living beyond our means that we forget to live up to our means.

We deprive ourselves unnecessarily because we fail to plan ahead. A wellplanned family spending program ca provide for the purchase and possession of •Many necessities and luxuries which a carelessly managed household with the same income may never be able to acquire.

That's where a wise investment in the SPJST protection can change your entire way of living, for it makes sa y -ingreula,sytmc.Svingbeos an easy habit; which, like all habits, takes away the worry and strain we feel- when we try to save by spurts and failures. Your investment is not only safe, but growing. And with it, you have purchased something you can't buy over any counter: the security, the peace of mind, that come with knowing that the things you prize most highly are guaranteed for life—your certificate of serenity.

WHAT IS YOUR SPECIAL ABILITY? (Condensed from The Technique of Life Insurance Selling, by Clarence T. Hubbard) Every salesman has special ability— some unusual talent that he can use to boost sales.

That special ability may be simply a natural enthusiasm. When I was a boy, my father had an occasional visitor at our home, a young German immigrant who had found employment in the Underwood typewriter factory in Hartford. His broken English was hard to understand; ,he was awkward and homely.

One day he told my father he was giving up his job a a factory hand.

"What are you going to do?" my father inquired.

"Sell typewriters!" he blurted out.

I was only a Loy at the time, but I had my opinions. I said to myself, "He's crazy—he can't even talk English! How can he be a salesman?"

How wrong I was! This young immigrant had a burning desire to get ahead. He possessed a world of enthusiasm for the typewriter. He could take a machine apart and put it back together again. And he succeeded amazingly! In five years he owned his own typewriter store. Today he operates the leading typewriter exchange in the city and is a moderately wealthy citizen.

There's quite a lesson in that immigrant story for any of us in the life insurance business. Believe me, if we have any natural born enthusiasm for our product, let's never hold it back.

This may be the little extra talent that will give a extraoardinary success in our fie'''. _Iles the "special ability" we has apparently been born in us, and sometimes it has been painstakingly acquired or cultivated. I'm not saying that we should duplicate or copy whatever the other fellow does, even if he does it successfully. On the other hand, we can take steps to develop ourselves in some special way that adds to our personality, or makes us more interesting persons to know.

Some salesmen have become outstanding because they have made special studies of a certain subject—becoming a sort of local authority, so to speak.

Others have become well known because they have taken up a special hobby—one that led. into interesting acoutside of regular busquaintanceships outside iness channels. Some have developed a special interest in travel, visiting the strange and out of the way places.

I know a man who today is head of a most successful insurance agency; he is a director in some 10 or 12 corporations. His special ability is that he *can captivate listeners with narratives about his own experiences. He's a standout as a conversationalist. Unquestionably, this special ability has paid off for him in the form of business advancement.

There is nothing to prevent any one of us from developing special competency in some phase of our own business. Just as an example, one of the most successful insurance salesmen I ever encountered was' a man who made himself into an expert. In the days before estate planning was taught in all advanced life insurance schools, he would, get up at five o'clock in the morning and study until eight a.m. Studying in this way, he became a pioneer in the field of estate control.

No one could say he was born with the special ability to plan estates—it was a simple case of his recognizing that here was virtually an untouched field, and then of preparing himself to serve in it.

In every person there is a second gift of talent. Nature provides the first, but it is usually up to us to develop the second. The day of "mere talkers" has passed. Today, a life insurance man may have to develop the gift of timing, or acquire a special knowledge of his contacts, or develop an ability to illustrate the beneats. 'T't is fin timing: knowledge of contract, ability to illus-, trate, patience, optimism, enthusiasm— that your "second talent" may be discovered.

The man who seems to be the least promising—like the immigrant who wanted to become a typewriter salesman—may have a second talent that will make him outstandingly successful.

How about you—are you capitalizing on your special ability?

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN On Wednesday, January 18, 1956, America will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin.

Of him, it may justly be said that a crown would have lost its splendor upon his brow, for his head was adorned with the wreath of freedom.

In whatever light we address his character, it is replete with instructions and inspiration.

From whatever position we survey him, it is an inspiring and fascinating picture.

Yes, there never was another who lived a more virile and varied and masterful life in his day.

He may properly be called the godfather of our country.

His name is a sound whose charm was borrowed from his thoughts and deeds which face grace it perpetuity.

No high-raised marble marks his birthplace.

No pilgrims kneel before his dust or offer incense on his golden shrine.

His life is one of the world's treasures.

The world was his school, and necessarily was his teacher.

He rose from bare beginnings.

He owed nothing to parentage or patronage.

He enjoyed no early education, but he lived to stand before kings and parliaments.

He won his place in the front ranks of the world's scientists, diplomats, statesmen, men of affairs, and men of letters.

His public life ran the full gamut of activities.

It was he who, as a delegate from Pennsylvania, submitted his Albany plan of union to the first American Colonial Congress in Albany on June 19, 1754, thus laying the foundations for the birth of a United States.

His plan, which was unanimously adopted, was followed by a general resolution, declaring that a "union of all the Colonies is absolutely necessary for their security and defense."

In 1775 he was a member of the Second Continental Congress and also served on the committee to draft the Declaration of Independence.

In 1'766 he appeared before the House of Commons to explain colonial opposition to the stamp tax.

In 1776 he was sent by Congress as one of a committee to negotiate a treaty with France.

He was welcomed by the French leaders and became immensely popular during his stay from 1776 to 1785.

He also signed a treaty of commerce and a treaty of defensive alliance with France.

Teprve po m g i a po dlouho rozmluve s knezern se objevil na na ysi. Maio lidi bylo doma, byl eas na okopavani brainbor; •otva se v g ak rozneslo, Roch jde pites y es, hned ten onen pospichal na cestu, aby privital hosta, ktereho ut da yno ye vsi Roth`kra6e1 jako vtdycky, pomalou elcu, opiraje se o hul, se vztyeenou hlacou, v temz, tmavo g edem ka,bate a s rittencem na iiji; vitr mu rozhrnoval sive viasy a hubend tval zatila divnou laska vosti a veselim.

Rozhlitel se po chalupach a pa sadech, usmival se radostne na vsecko, vital se s katdym z y last', detem, ktere se k nemu hrnuly, blavieky srdeene hiadil a teny oslovoval.. . tak byl rad, ze je vgecko pfti starem.

"Byl jsem v Censtochove na pouti," odpovidal, kdyt na neho zveclave dotirali, kam se podel na tak dlouhY eas.

Radovali se tak uptimne z jeho navratu, hned po ceste mu zaeali yypravovat lipeche novinky; jeden ho tadal o nejakou radu, d • uhY si zase chtel ulevit y e svern odvadel si ho stranou a rozklaclal pied nun sve strasti, eekaje na jeho sloya jako na posledni irtechu.

"Jsern hrozne vyeerpan, nejaky den si odpoeinu," vysvetloYal Roch, aby se itch zbavil.

Zacali ho jako a zavod zvat k sobe do chalup.

"Tentokrat se zatim ubytuji u Mateut jsem to Hance slibil; a jestli me nekdo prijme potona, nastehuji se na delgi dobu."

A rychle zamiril k Borynoviim.

Tot' se vi, Le ho Hanka prijala radostne a z celeho srdce ho chtela hostit, ale on, sotvale slotil sve Corby a oddychl gel ke starenau.

"Jclete se na neho podivat, lezi v sade, v chalupe je vedro. Zatim y arn uvafirn mleko... a treba byste snedl i vajieko, co likate?"

Ale Roch byl ut v sade a shrben Kraeel pod stronly k Borynovi, kterY letel ✓ kogatine yylotene perinami, plikryt hetichem. Lapa svinuty v klu,bko hlidal u jeho nohou a Vitkay Cap si yykraeoval spokojene mezi stromy jako na strati.

Roch vzdychl, udelal nad nim klit a edegel.

"Vid'te, ze je otci jakoby lope?" pta a se Hanka.

Roch dlouho o Oernsi uvatoval a na,konec ticlaym vatnYm hlasem rekl: "I lampa, drive neni zhasne, vyglehne nakonec tivejSim plamenem. Mile se zd to to s Matejem jde ke konci. . .

Chtela mu ustlat Joseinu postel, ale Roch radeji gel do stodoly.

"Penize si doble schovejte!" napomenul ji na odchodu.

Az teprve po poledni se ukazal a najedl. Kdy2 se chtel vydat do vsi, ozvala se velmi nesrn&e Hanka,: "Kdybyste mi, Rochu, pomohl vystrojit °ital. . ."

Pan Jacek se nenapa.dne usmival, chvili mbuvil s Rochem, pak vzal housle pod paZi a po mezich se vydal k lesu.

Roch potom sedel u Verunky a naslouchal jejimu vypraveni.

Co je podstatou tohoto jevu, kterY pravidelne, den co den, vysttidava bdeni, dobu usilovne dinnosti? Je to vlastne stay atlurnu, zachvacujici temet celou mozkoy ou karu a take easteene mozkove oblasti legici pod ni. Tyto easti, ptesne feeeno jejich butky, ktere byly celodenni praci znaene vyeerpany, si ye spanku odpodinou, dopini si ze,soby Ziyin, a kdy2 naderpaly dostatek sil, elovek se zase probouzi svezi, ptipravenY k dark praci. Takove jsou tedy velmi zhruba a zjednodame teeeno — podstata a teel spanku.

Normalne prospi dospelY elovek 7-8 hodin. Bite, jehot 'nervova soustava se teprve vyviji, spi samortejme mnohem vic.

Noyorozenec spi i pies 20 hodin, g'estilete az dvanactilete dite asi tak 11 hodin, naopak stati lido spi denne i jen 4-6 hodin.

Vedle veku zdyisi doba spanku i na ylastnostech jednotlivce, na typu jeho yjdai nervove einnosti, na druhu prace, kterou vykonava, a jeate na mnoha jinYch oinitench. Nekteti dospeli lido pottebuji 8 aZ 9 hodin spanku denne, jini dlouhe mesice a leta nespi vic neZ 5-6 hodin denne, and to nejak portdilo jejich zdravotni stay. Casto si maze i elo yek, kterY spaval dlouho, "navyknout" na kratAl spanek -a neeini mu to potde.

Nespi-li elovek delsi dobu, nastava tada poruch jeho celkoveho stavu. Stava se unavenYm, nedovede se sousti'edit na praci a asi po 48 hodinach se obyeejne zhrouti. UdrZuje-li se umele je gte deist dobu v bdelem stavu, mit:de nastat porucha nervove soustavy, ictera pak mini jen pomalu, ba /lady zanechava. i trvale nasledky.
