PEIIRUCKA PRO MI STN! IIItEDNIKY ESJEZDU SPJST, KONANEM v roku 1932 v Ennis byl zvolen V piedsedou sjezdu Dr. Jos. Kopeck, kter3i tined v sve tvodni a podekovaci keel oznamil, ae bude se snaait vesti jednani sjezdu v duchu demokratickem a dle americkeho parlamentarniho potadku. Pozdeji, kdykoliv toho bylo tfeba, salmul po ptiruece zvane "Robert's Rules of Order."

O etyki leta pozdeji byl sjezd v East Bernard. Dr. Kopeck Y opet pomahal \testi jednani sjezdu, a opet dle americkeho parlamentarniho zvyku a pravidel.

Tenkrat nekteti delegati se vyslovili, ae nage Ustkedni teleso nano by nechat vypracovat nejakou ptirueku pro mistni pfedsedy a mistoptedsedy, a tea. pro deny, kteii by chteli se lepe obeznamit s pravidly, jak vesti schfize v domacim tadu nebo jak podavat navrhy v jakemkoliv shromaadeni. Byl podan navrh a ptijat, aby Ukol vypracovani ptirnaky, byl ptedan Dr. Kopeckemu a pisateli techto iádkü. Pkirueka pro tizeni schtizi, konvenci a sjezdu byla yypracovaria a vydana v roku 1939. Na ge fisttedna ma dosud na sklade omezenou zasobu teto ptirueky o 64 Strankach.

Nepamatujik si, jak Y' formulat mesienich zprav byl tenkrat vypracovan. Ro y -neavim,zdlposenichat letech, totia od onoho Casu, byly provedeny nejake zmeny Ci opravy, aby formulat byl snadnej gi a srozumitelnejgi.

Ani nevim, zdali nynej gi formulat mesieni zpravy udava, kolik dospelYch nebo detskYch Clem je u mistnihd tadu.

Na tyto nay glenky byl jsem ptiveden dopisem od jedne spolkove sestry. Bydli ;nedaleko Houstonu. Oznamovala e byla zvolena za teetni a pdkladni u sveho tadu, ae ma odeslat mesieni zpraIN. do Usttedny, ale ae si nevi rady. 2Adala mne, abych tarn pkijel a poradil.

Jsme spolkem, kde mistni 'lady pracuji dle spoleenYch pokyny a pravidel.

Ovgem je moanost, ae u nejakeho maleho tadu, kde neni vice nea dvacet, tticet Menu, a aadne zmeny se nedeji lee v ptipadu funrti, stadi docela jednoduche zaznamy. Ale domaci lady spadaji pod dohled Usticedny asi podobne jako Usticedna spada pod dohled statniho odboru pojigt'ova.ni.

A tyto zaznamy maji bYti vedeny takovYm zpasobem, aby tea pokyny z astrecli mohly Witt stejne.

Dokud naS obchod byl veden v malSrch rozmerech, vidCl jsem, ae mesieni zpravy od nekterY• ch malS7ch tada byly pasilany do usttedi na jakernkoliv artku papiru, a take knihy u domaciho tadu Casto byly die dobre vfile samouka.

Zengerova obhajoba a celY jeho piipad je zativYin meznikem ye Svobode tisku v Americe. Nekteti naai lids, kteii nelibe nesou vekejnou kritiku, melt by opra.git svazek dejin, kde je popsan Zengerav soud, pteeisti si celou historku, a pak se usmiiiti s myglenkou, ze yetejnY atad vgdy pkinagi kritiku. A kdo nesnese kritiky, ten neni ze dieva, z neho g se vyrabeji vadcove a :redact.

Snad mohl bych piipomenout jinY pad, dobie znamY mezi novinati. KagdY vi, ze president SpojenYch state ma schazku se gurnalisty, kteti mu kladou vgemogne otazky. Lee malokdo vi, jak to povstalo, ge samotnY president Mt ge byti yyslYchan. V prvnich dobach republiky zila ye Washingtonu zpravodajka jrnenem Anna Royal. Shanela sve zpravy vgude, jen k presidentu Johnu Quincy Adamsovi nemela pfistup. Pokagde pied ni byly zavteny dvete. A kdy g gddala o rozmluvu nebo o pkistup k nektere schface presidenta s jeho radci, vgdy ji to bylo odepteno .Zpravodajka Anna uznala, ze musi na to postrannimi dvitky, kdyg ptedni dvere byl pied ni zavteny. Zjistila zvyky presidenta Adamse, ze rad se chodil koupat easne rano do nedaleke teky Potomac, asi pal mile od presidentovy residence. Ve sve krinoline, s kalamatem, brkovYm perem a svitkem papiru eekala jednoho letniho dasneho rang na presidenta Adamse, ag se na btehu feky vysvlikne a zaene se koupat. Pak si pohodlne sedla na jeho gaty na btehu. Udivenemu presidentu oznamila, ze se u g unavila tlouci na pfeclni dvete, tak ze si pti gla pro zpravy, kdyg se president koupa. Nepkistou• pila na gadnY kompromis. Chtel-li president dostat sve gatstvo, musel odpovidat na otazky mu kladene, zatim co byl ag po bradu ye vocle. Nektere jeji sloupcc, kdybych je dnes uvetejnil ye Vestniku, by vzbudily podiv, jak takova, kritika mohla bYti pied sto lety v novinach uvetejnena. A prava ona yzacna ptile gitost americkeho gkoleni, kde jsem studoval, jak se svoboda tisku v teto zemi vgdy hajila, je u mne cenena daleko vice ne g u jinYch SPJST.

east() slygime, Ze na ge bratrske spolky jsou gkolou demokracie. Jestli tomu vskutku tak, mel by bYti na g spolkovy organ eitankou, v ni g by se odragelo svobodne smY gleni &nil. A ten, kdo tidi nebo v budoucnosti bude proveten kiditi—nat organ, mei by bYti pevnYm a spolehlivYrn zastancem a obhajcem demokratickYch zasad. Nekdy naai stargi eleni navrhuji, aby ye Vestniku byly elanky o slavne minulosti eeskeho naroda, zvla g te v anglicke east. Takoye pokyny jsou chvalitebne. Mlada generace nevi takkka nic o du gevni a inravni hodnote svYch pkedka. Ale na druhe

V2STNIK— WEST, TEXAS strane ani star gi generace nevi nic torn stalem zapasu, kterY byl veden ✓ Americe o zavedeni osobni svobody, o zapasu, aby vybudovana byla lidska spoleanost, ktera by vladla sama sobs, kde by se kladl daraz na snahy a inspirace jednotlivce. Tern, kdo byli vychovani jen eeskYmi ueiteli, schazi velice mnoho na vedomostech o pozvolnem a dosud neukoneenem vYvinu americkeho naroda.

Ani ta mladgi generace, vychovana americkYnai ueiteli, nema techto vedomosti nadbytek. Maio je tech, kdo • ze vypracovani americke konstituce vzalo cele etyti Ipesice neg odstavce byly napsany, a pak vzalo to rok a pal neg devet samostatnYch state novou konstituci schvalilo. Bylo to jako kdyby nag stanovni vYbor pracoval na stanovach pro distrikty del gi 'dam, pak sve navrhy pkedlog il k schvaleni nebo zamitnuti vg em mistnim kadam, a jako by tady o novem sestaveni debatovaly do nekoneena. Demokracie, nebo vlada lidu pro lid, bez krale, bez panovnika, bez korunovane hiavy, byla je gte pied sto a sedmdesati lety neenn nezvyklYm. Byl tenkrat ustaleny nazor, ze v gechno musi miti hlavu. Aby vgichni do kagcle veci mohli se michat, to bylo nemyslitelne.

Nebo jak tehdej gi guverner v kolonii Massachusetts kekl: "Demokracie je nestvara, nejsprost gi, nejpodlej gi a nejhorgt zpilsott vlady." Vzdor tomu lids houfne utikali z Evropy, aby zkusili tento novY drub vlady, aby si tuto novou vladu zatizovali pozvolna die s yYch nahledt.

Nekdy si myslim, Ze mel bych ye Vest -nikuvetjoalnky"tom,jakzpas byl zde v Arnerice provaden, nca lid nabyl takove svobody, jako se dnes tegi. A take je to nanejvY g dalegite, abychom na omezovani svobody stale poukazovali, chyby yetejnYch osob stale kritisovali, pro, svobodu slava a tisku a dosta,teenYch informaci stale horovali.

Kdyg byla formovana konstituce Spojenych state, bylo dano volebni pravo jen tern ma.jetnym. Musela se tea resit otazka, zda otroci byli lidskYmi tvory nebo jen stadem dobytka. Ani drobni farinaii, dievorubci, delnici a pionYti bez majetku nemeli hlasovaciho prava. Zeny ho dostaly teprve Po 26. srpnu 1920, na, cog se mnozi naai star gi eleni dobte pamatuji. V nekterYch statech nernohl volit nikdo, kdo nevlastnil aspori 50 okra pozemku. Dosud mame sedm state, kde se musi platit tak zvana "hlavova dari, volebni dan—poll tax". V naterYch jignich statech voile musel vlastnit 500 akrn pady a nejmene deset 0troka, aby mei volit. Nekde bylo dovoleno hlasovani rukou, kdy g -se volili o-

Strana 3 kresni a statni akednici, jinde bylo dosti brzy zavedeno tajne hlasovani.

MnohY Glen si pomysli, pros se mullion o techto bodech? K jakernu teelu by slonaily podobne &lanky ye Vestniku?

Jestli nag e HAI jsou gkolou demokracie, melt by aleni miti ureitou ptedstavu, demokracie je vlastne staid bdelost, opatrnost, abychom nedostali se v to genii do situace, jaka se vyvinula v jinYch zemich, kde byla liknavost a nevg imavost k vetejnYm vecem. DobrY Glen SPJST je ten dobrYm obeanem. A dobry °bean pkena gi take do sveho mistniho tadu demookraticke nahledy a demokraticky postup jednani. Domaha se tajneho hlasovani, kdyg jsou dva nebo vice kandidatti. Zada o informace, kdyi se jednd o spoleene zajmy. Po gaduje vysvetleni, kdyg necemu nerozumi. Poda sve nazory a svou kritiku, kdya mysli a yeti, ze neco by mohlo bYti zlepgeno.

Chce miti kontrolu s yYch atednika, volbu jejich kagdY rok nebo kagde etyti roky, a chce miti volnY pfehled pies vgechno, co je spoleenYm vlastnictvim—volnY vstup do spolkove sine, volnY vstup do schazi mistnich tacit, do schazi vrchniho telesa, volny pkehled spolkov'ch knih, a volne slovo kritiky. To vgechno jsou zasady, na nich g se sta.vely Spojene staty, a na tyto zasady je ttebe stale upozornovati.

A jestli se stone, ge nekterY najtaY delnik od statniho odboru pojigt'ovani nam Mica, ze bychom si sve veci meli zavesti jinak, ze mame dye ei tti hlavy, musime uvagit, ze to take path do toho veeneho zapasu o svobodu a samostatnost. Miteme ho zdvotile vyslechnout, -mageme vgechno nalegite uvagit, ale konec konca magerne si sve Yea spravovat die ho pkani, dokud to neni proti statnimu zakonu. Marne-li vYkonne atedniky kontrolujici teditele, tot' naai veci. Mame-li ptedsjezdovY stanovni vybor, kterY planuje dalgi zlepgovani, je to opet nagi veci. Mame-li TiskovY vYbor, kterY dohligi, aby ta na ge eitanka demokracie, ten nag Vestnik, byl vedeny die pkani kdy2 by to bylo proti pkani nekterYch hiavnich akedniku--je to opet nail veci, otazkou naai sarnospravy. A jestli nam nekdo z Austinu nageptava, Fe ubirame na girn iikednikam jigta je to zase naai veci. Ani Ustava SpojenYch state nedava, presidentu nebo kongresu vot gi prava nc2 jake lidi, ten drobnY lid jdouci k volbam, dice ze sy Ych rukou popugtiti. vame si nebojacnost a svobodu.

ne dosti na vyrovnami vYloh na rizeni Jednoty a za Vestnik.

VYlohy na rizeni Jednoty plati jenom eleni einni, — to jest, poplatky platici.

Jakmile e'en doplati s yftj lhfitovY certifikat, jeho podil na zaplaceni vydani s rizenim Jednoty skoro nic neznamena.

KdyZ ten tricetiletY Glen. ye tilde "C" (dvaceti-leta doZivotni) svtlj certifikat po dvaceti letech placeni ma zaplacenY a dale nic platiti nemusi, leda by zustal u radu jako spoleeenskf Men, jeho zaloha po dvacatem roku jest $496.00, die nag poplatkove knaky.

V jeden-a-dvacatem roku jeho e'enstyi, to jest prvni rok po doplaceni jeho poplatkft, jeho zaloha jest zuroeena 31/2% za ten rok. To dela obnos $17.36 — a z tohoto obnosu se zaplati Umrtni ztraty na obnos $504M0, nekryta (zalohou) Cast jeho tisici dolaroveho certifikatu, a ten obnos dela $6.36, — a zbytek $11.00 z toho droku za jeden rok se pripoeita k jeho naSetrene zaloze, ktera koncem jeden-a-dvacateho roku pak jest $507.00, — tak to jde; po jedenacti, dvanacti a nekdy as trinacti dolarech roene se jeho zaloha zvyAuje.

Jak videti, na. Jednotu toho moc z takoireho zaplaceneho certifikatu nezbyde; jedine kde Jednota z takoveho certifikatu neco ma, jest na fispore na Umrtnim vydani, a toho jet velice malo. Ted' bych rad veal, kde Jednota vezme na zaplaceni tri dolaru na Vestnik, na kterY' by ten navrh Tiskoveho vYboru tomuto elenu daval pravo.

Na ten infij vYrok v poslednim odstavci by mne nekdo mohl frknouti frau, se to musi bYti dosti dobre, vzhledem k tomu, 4e jsme meli v roku 1954, die zpravy bratra aktuara Mimse, jenom 50.59 procentni Umrtni ztraty z oeekavanYch sto procent, coZ by vykazovalo, Sc na tom tricet rokti starem elenu by jsme men kolem tri dolara vYdelku.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR ELSEWHERE IN THIS ISSUE ARE motions to change the SPJST By-laws as suggested by the members of District Two. These motions were adopted by the SPJST members who met at the regular meeting of District Two held in Holland recently. As far as I can recall, this is the first time that motions to change the present By-laws are presented in English. I am glad and pleased. It is a definite step forward. * * WE HAVE THREE GROUPS OF workers in the SPJST. One group is very rapidly disappearing. It consists of the European-born who had received most of their education in Europe. They know Czech history, Czech geography, Czech literature, old-world customs and traditions. They can tell the date of the Battle of Bila bora, but they don't know much about the Battle of Bunker Hill. They know the Czech historical novel "The Last of the Taborites" (Posledni Taborita), but they are not acquainted with the American novel "The Last of the Mohicans." They know the history of John Huss, but not the one one of John Wesley. They had been transplanted into new soil, but the fruit they bear has the original flavor.

*

THE OTHER GROUP, THE NATIVEborn, resembles the first group, but its thinking and the entire mental process is quite different. The group consists of children born to the first group, the second or the third generation of Americans. As the offspring of the Czech pioneers, they know the fragments of the European culture only as a hearsay, from the talk of the elders, something heard but not experienced.

And since they have grown in different cultural climate, the second group members have different ideas and aspirations, and different approach to the solution of many social and fraternal problems.

• • THE; THIRD GROUP OF WORKERS in the SPJST is very small, indeed. It consists of the few individuals who by a streak of fate, or good luck, or sheer venturesomeness and daring, transplanted themselves from the Old World tra-

ditions and culture into the New World atmosphere and managed to keep on growing and thriving after permitting to be grafted with new buds of American culture. The third group is unlike the first group, either, because it did not come up from the seed as a new variety, but it' is an improvement of the old stock. * * UNTIL RECENTLY, THE LEADERS in the SPJST belonged to the first group, the European-born, the European-educated. They had the advantage in the SPJST where all of our discussions and deliberations have been carried on in the Czech language. They had the fluency of the language. They had beautiful handwriting, even though they did not know the meaning of the word "calligrapher." They were quick with figures, even if they could not spell "comptroller." They fitted into the fraternal activities of the SPJST because of their more intensive schooling.

They took positions of leaders, became presidents, secretaries, bookkeepers, and delegates in the local lodges.

• • THE CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED. Presently we have thirteen members in the governing body, and all the officers and four directors are native-born.

These ten leaders express themselves far better in English; all of them can speak and do understand Czech, but some of them cannot write Czech, at all.

They never had the opportunity to learn it. Language is an accomplishment similar to that of mastering a musical instrument. Nobody blames them for not playing, piano; and likewise nobody should make fun of their false grammatical construction when they speak in Czech. They are the products of another cultural background. It is natural that they use English almost exclusively and with more ease and efficiency. * * NEARLY EIGHT YEARS AGO A CONcession was made to the second group, to the members who were native-born, American-educated. It was a justifiable grant. One-third of the Vestnik was printed in English. Four years ago, the English section was increased to one-

half. Eight years ago, I was asked to serve as editor of the English part. Later, the Czech editor died and I was given two jobs—to write both in Czech and in English on the same Remington typewriter. * * THE WRITER OF MUSINGS HAPpens to be a sort of go-between. Yes, I am also European-born. But I am American-educated. Some of our SPJST members still doubt that I can feel one hundred per cent American, being a citizen by choice and not native-born. Prejudice and discrimination should have no room in American society. We are a "nation of nations," as Walt Whitman termed it. The national tradition of America has welcomed the contributions of all nationalities. There is common loss and injury to the entire nation, if we increase tension among ourselves, or if we lower the educational standards. No man can hold another in the ditch without getting down there with * * him.

BEING THE 'EDITOR OF THE VESTnik, I tried to serve both the foreignborn and the native-born. Both should be on equal terms. I went so far as to propose to alternate the Czech and the English sections of the Vestnik, placing the English part on the outside every other week. I got nowhere, but I got criticized—by both groups. * * THE FOREIGN-BORN OFTEN SUGgest that I should give the native-born members more stories dealing with the European traditions. Yet, I feel that all of us sorely need more information about the everlasting struggle to preserve the American traditions, and to know the American history. That's my preference. * * THE SUGGESTIONS OF DISTRICT Two is a step forward. It is the first time that the native-born members present their ideas in the language preferred. It is the product of Amercian soil. The period of probation for the native-born has ended. From now on we can count on the leadership of the younger blood, with the goal still being "one nation, indivisible."

LEAP-YEAR CORRECTIONS "Tonight will be the longest night the world ha,s ever seen," mused His Majesty, Philip II of Spain and Portugal.

The year was 1582. That night Philip went to bed on Thursday, October 4 (as did most persons in Italy and France and all people in Spain and Portugal).

But the next day dawned as Friday, October 15. Leap-year problems had led to the cancellation of ten days.

The change of dates had been ordered

by Pope Gregory XIII. Catholic nations adopted the Gregorian, or "New Style" calendar at once. But many Protestants stubbornly refused to revise errors in calculation of leap year. Germany and Denmark gave up the Old Style calendar in 1700. Great Britain clung to it until Gregory's changes were made a part of English law by Act of Parliament, 1752.

Leap year, says popular tradition, is a time for reversing the order of courtship. Every girl knows that one 'year out of four, she has the privilege of popping the question to the man of her choice.

If only the heavenly bodies would cooperate with man, we wouldn't have such a thing as leap year. But our planet and its fellows balk at fitting neatly into man-made systems of counting.

They spin blithlely along in systems that, like answers to arithmetic problems in school, seldom come out exactly even.

At the heart of the puzzle is the fact that a year is not an exact multiple of a day. One complete rotation of the earth upon its axis marks a day. For convenience, we divide it into 24 arbitrary periods.

So far, so good. But a year is the length of time it takes our planet to circle the sun. If the heavens were geared to man-made arithmetic, a definite number of days would make a year.

But it doesn't work out that way. Pkttronomers now estimate that a year is equal to 365.242216 days—or 305, days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 45.7 seconds. Trying to divide day into year is like attempting to square the circle. No matter how far you carry it, there is a remainder.

It is that tiny remainder which upsets the calendar. Since calendars can't take fractional days into account, leap year is our way of making periodic corrections.

Our present system rests on treating a standard year as 365 days. Three years out of four, that is the calendar count. An extra day is inserted in the

fourth year.

There is one important exception to the four-year cycle. This exception is a major feature of Gregory's plan. Centennial years—those whose number ends in 00—have 365 days except when divisible by 400. So there was no leap year between 1896 and 1904.

Why all the Nther over such exact rules for observing leap year?

Most ancients and some moderns could answer that very quickly. Unless the calendar is constantly adjusted, that annoying fraction of a day will gradually throw dates out of gear with seasons. It makes no difference in the course of a few years, or even a human lifetime. Centuries of accumulation would, be important, however.

Without leap year corrections, the date of Christmas would gradually move forward. Within about 20 centuries, December 25 would be falling in summer.

Russian refusal to accept the reforms of Pope Gregory accounts for the fact that their December 25 coincides with our January 7.

Calendars came into use long before clocks were invented. Herdsmen and farmers of ancient times had little need to measure hours and minutes. But in order to manage their flocks and fields, they needed a way to keep track of seasons and days.

Nearly all primitive calendars were based on movements of the moon. It revolves around the earth in 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2,8 seconds.

Ancient stargazers didn't count time in minutes and seconds, of course. But they knew a moon cycle took about 291/2 days. So the ancient month often alternated between 29 and 30 days. .Twelve of those moon-measured bundles of days made up the typical year of early civilizations It had only 354 days—or 360 if each moon period was regarded as 30 full days.

Egyptians followed that count. They had special need for an accurate calendar, in order to know when the Nile would overflow each year. Their astronomers made observations of amazing accuracy. More than 6,000 years ago, they abandoned the moon cycle and computed a kind of calendar based upon the sun alone.

This ancient Egyptian year (like our own normal one) had 365 days. Eventually, scholars at the courts of the Pharaohs found an error. In every fouryear period, rising of the bright star Sirius was delayed one day. They reasoned, correctly, that the star's movements are constant. So their calendar

must be in error. To correct it, they suggested adding an extra or 366th day cnce every four years. But popular opposition was too strong.

Matters rested at this peiit,t until the tread of Roman legions began to shake the wirld. Julius Ca e ar saont some time in Egypt as a There he learned that their calendar (more accurate than the Roman) was based upon the sun. The Roman calendar was so badly out of step that a thirteenth month had to be inserted every few years, after the day we now count as February 23.

Caesar started work on s new calendar soon after he gained supreme power. He employed a noted ::. ; reek astrinomer, who abandoned use of the lunar months in favor of Egyptian reckoning based on the sun. This calendar is known as the Julian, named after Caesar. It was made up of 12 months, 365 days. Every fourth ycor, one extra day was inserted where the old thirteenth month was observed.

But let's get back to Gregory's calendar of 1582. To correct errors that had accumulated since Caesar's time, ten days were omitted from the calendar that year. To prevent future accumulations of error, Gregory ruled that three out of every four centennial years should have 365 days instead of Caesar's 366.

Creditors were instructed to give a ten-day extension to those whose debts were affected by the change. For fear of error, only official printers were permitted to issue the Gregorian calendar.

When it was ready, copies were posted on all church doors, inserted into volumes on the church year.

Religious and scientific prejudice made some nations slow to accept Gregory's changes. Eventually they were adopted throughout most of the civilized world.

Eyen Russia finally accepted them. for civil purposes, though Russia's Eastern Church still clings to the Julian calendar.

Improved instruments and much new data have shed more light on the leap year problem in recent centuries. Scientists now declare that Gregory's calendar is itself in error. It misses total accuracy by just 26 seconds a year Hence the system will itself have to be adjusted—by a change of one leap day in every 3,323 years. But for all practical purposes, his daring adjustment in reckoning led to taming the troublemaker of the calendar—leap year.— Condensed from Columbia. K of C fraternal paper.

THE HIGH GROCERY BILL The average housewife had the biggest grocery bills of her life last year.

Yet farm income, as everyone knows, is on the skids.

This is the sort of puzzle which sets mom to talking to herself and pop to wondering if she's secretly playing the numbers with the household funds.

It also has set the United States Agriculture Department to looking for some new answers to an old problem: What happens to the housewife's food dollar?

The farmer gets 7 cents less out of each food dollar than he got 4 years ago. And overall spending on food keeps climbing even though retail prices for basic commodities remain about the same.

Where does the money go? Here, according to Agriculture Department experts, are some answers: You're paying considerably more to the middlemen—the processors, wholesalers and retailers than you did in 1951. This isn't all profit. Their costs have gone up too.

Food Is Better You're buying better food than you used to—more meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, less bread, beans, and potatoes.

You're eating well, but it costs you more.

You're paying the grocer for services you used to perform at home—prepared frozen foods, ready to bake pies, cake mixes, and the like. These items are not reflected in the cost of living index, which deals in basic foods. But they are reflected in what you spend.

The food handlers' bite out of your grocery dollar has been going up steadily for several years. It accounted for only 48 per cent of retail costs in 1946.

Today it is up to 59 per cent.

Here is a brief breakdown of where each dollar goes: To the grocer-18 cents.

(Out of this his net profit, on the - average, is about 1 cent, his United States taxes about a penny more. He pays 9 cents for labor, and 7 cents for the costs of doing business, including electricity, fuel, rent, advertising, state and local taxes, depreciation, paper bags, and so on.)

To the wholesaler and processor-34 cents.

(The average wholesaler's net profit Is 1 cent, the processor's about 11/2 cents.

United States taxes are approximately the same. Labor costs account for 17 cents. Canning, packaging, commissions and other costs make up the 12 re. maining cents.)

To the transporter-7 cents.

(This includes railway freight - transportation of raw materials, trucking of garden products and milk, shipments from the farm to the processor as well as from the processor to the retail store.

To the farmer-41 cents.

Most of the middlemen are making a little more profit today than they did 4 years ago.

Who is this food middleman? What does he do besides buy and sell commodities, making a commission on each step from the farm to your table?

He Dolivers Goods Well, for one, he is the fellow who hauls the wheat, or hog, or vegetables from where they're grown to where they're sold. He is also the fellow who converts grain into flour, milk into cheese, steers into steaks.

He's the man who freezes the peas, cans the tomatoes, cooks the soup, bakes the bread, candles the eggs, bottles the milk, and sorts the oranges.

He's the grocer who buys 5,000 different food products from all over the world and sets them out on convenient shelves so that you, the American buyer, can feed your family better than anyone ever was fed before.

Charges Go Up His charges for doing all this have risen so rapidly that they have absorbed nearly all of what you might have saved in food bills from the current farm price drop.

This winter it costs 26 per cent more to market a typical basket of farm food products than it did in 1947. Farmers, meanwhile, are getting 14 per cent less.

Of course, you are getting more service for your money than you did a few years ago. Things are put up in fancier packages. Potatoes are washed, vegetables cleaned, meat divided into handy purchasing units.

This account for some of the increased cost. But the Agriculture Department market basket does not include many of the ready to cook, labor saving items found in modern stores: Except for frozen vegetables and a few mixes, it sticks pretty close to basic food products.

Wider Selection You are also getting more products from which to choose. A typical grocery today carries 5,000 items. Twenty years ago it carried about 1,000. The 4,000 new ones are largely specialty goods of one sort of another or out of season items which once you didn't buy at all.

You are paying for higher wages in the marketing industry, higher taxes all around, and higher costs of doing business.

Are the marketers making too much profit? That depends on what you think too much profit is.

Food processors today are earning considerably more after taxes on their investment than they did before World War II. The average net then was about 7 per cent; today it is 9 per cent or more. And with much higher investments, the dollar profits are even greater.

Bakeries Do Well Best off are baking companies (which average about 12 per cent), grain millers (nearly 13 per cent) and dairy products firms. Grocery chains are netting 11 per cent or more.

Meat packers, on the other hand, aren't doing so well. The net profit for 11 of them after taxes in 1955 was only 2.7 per cent, compared with 5.6 per cent before the, war. This year they'll do a little better.

However, the profit these processors make on each item they sell is smaller than it used to be. As a percentage of sales, profits last year averaged only about 2 per cent compared with 3 per cent in 1935-39.

The difference comes from greatly increased volume and from higher price per unit sold.

You housewives are spending a lot of your grocery money for maid service these days.

It's pretty expensive maid service, too, if you're in the market for that sort of thing. The Agriculture Department estimates it costs you only 45 cents an hour.

But it accounts for much of the increase in your food bill during the last 4 years.

"Maid service" is what the food processing companies like to call all the many things they now do for you that you used to do for yourselves.

It includes scraping the carrots, washing the spinach, topping the celery, mixing the cake, cutting up the chicken, shaping the hamburger patties, raising the rolls, slicing the french fries, boning the fish, portioning the cereal, and even crimping the crust on your pie.

Sell Like Hot Cakes Such "convenience" items are the biggest new thing in the postwar grocery business. They sell like hot cakes (in fact, one of the biggest sellers is ready to cook hot cakes) and housewives of this prosperous era don't seem to boggle at the extra cost.

A few food economists are worried that the packaging, preparing, and

Wednesday, February 1, 1956 precooking spree may be getting out cif hand. But the majority point to booming sales as proof they're filling a consumer demand, and the outlook is for more food processing rather than less.

Since 1948, so many new conveniences foods have gone on the shelves that entire grocery stores have had to be reder One food chain reports 570 such items on sale which it didn't handle '7 years ago.

The frozen food industry alone topped $1.5 billion this year-5 per cent of all grocery sales. Mixes now account for one-third of the flour business, Completely prepared frozen dinners are expected to sell at the rate of 45 million pounds in 1956.

"Practically nobody makes pies any more," said John A. Logan, of the National Association of Food Chains, proudly. "If they don't buy ready to bake frozen pies, they buy the mixes."

Bureau of Labor. Statistics bases its estimates on 60 basic food items, such as bread, potatoes, meat, and .coffee, in nonprocessed form. Its theory is that "maid service" is a luxury, not a necessity.

That explains why your grocery bills have gone up even though the government says food costs have remained•the same or even dropped in the last 4 years.

All this modern merchandising is so attractive that you may not realize how much you're paying for it. But consider these examples: Ten pounds of unprocessed potatoes cost about 55 cents in stores. Ten pounds of frczen french fries, one of the.booming convenience foods, cost $3.

An 8-ounce box of corn flakes can still be bought for a dime. The same 8 ounces, neatly packages in convenient dish- sized boxes, cost 25 cents.

Lipton's favorite tea (and other brands too) conies to about 65 cents for 3 3-1 ounces done up in teabagseIf you want to use your own teaspoon,- you can buy K.1 ounces of the same tea for cents. ,griculture Department experts estimate the time you save--aid the extra money you pay -dike this: A day's meals for a family of 4, . with mom. doing, all the old fashioned work,,cost an average of $4.90. She must spend 5 1-2 hours in preparing them.

The same meals, made from ready to cook items, cost $6.70 and take only about 1 1-2 hours of preparation.

Thus the housewife saves 4 hours' work at a cost of $1.80, or 45 cents an hour.

That sounds like a bargain today. But if hard times , ever return, you'll know

VESTN/K— WEST, TEXAS wheie to save plenty of pennies.

One reason your grocery bill is higher than ever, in spite of falling farm prices, is that you're literally eating "higher on the hog" today.

For many American families in 1955 it's pork chops and apple pie instead of bacon and beans.

You've little use for the cheaper foods which used to be staples, and you're demanding more and more steaks and roasts, fresh vegetables and fruits, tangy salads, and fancy desserts.

The change is healthy, of course. It means a better fed, better looking America, with bigger, stronger, healthier children. But it is costing you money. + 4e

HOW I SELL YOUNG MEN There are many good magazines published by various insurance companies for the benefit of the life insurance salesmen. The magazines are full of experiences, suggestions, and ideas valuable to any man selling life insurance.

Here is an article which I found in the magazine published by John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance. I read it twice. I think our local organizers will benefit by read it too. It was written by one of the company's agents who believes that big commissions are made (icier the luncheon table. * For me, the beginning of a sale is getting up in the morning!

When I first started in the life insurance business, I had a hard time getting to work at the same time every day.

To solve this I started taking riders to work. Even though it had worked the night before, I still had an obligation ahead of me the next morning. This helped me to arrive at the office promptly every day.

To start work, you need prospects.

Mine come entirely from referred leads.

I have found that, properly handled, one prospect can lead to another, with the result that my list o fprospects is continually growing. To see how this happens, let's start with the approach.

"Mr. Robert Arnold? My name is Leo Loschke. I represent the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company. The other day, while I was talking to Tommy Hays, he praised you and spoke of the progress you have made with this company. I would like to have ten minutes of your time to tell you about a savings plan Torn has just started."

Regardless of his answer, I tell him I can't talk to him now (for I have another appointment) but as I was in the building, I wanted to make his acquaintance. The only things I want to know now are his age and present insurance and family status.

If he is married, I arrange to have an appointment at his home. If he is not married, I arrange an appointment by asking him a direct question: "What time do you eat lunch tomorrow? Noon?

Fine, I'll see you then." If he has another engagement, I will soon know about it and then I can make an appointment for the following day.

Now I'm in, and I know that one out of every three calls like this will result in a sale. Therefore, this interview, short as it was, put $5.66 in my pocket.

After finishing the day's business, I plan my next day's work and just what type of contract 4 am going to sell Mr.

Arnold. He is single, age 22, and earns a salary of $50 per week. I decide on $5,000 of our preferred risk, as he works in an office and I think he could qualify for the medical. The next day I arrive at 12:00 sharp at Mr. Arnold's office.

Now, this is important — where will we go for lunch?

I have found it best to select a restaurant at least two blocks away. While walking to it, I find out all I can about him — where he went to school, who his friends are, how long he has been working at his present job, whose position he will take next, how much he now makes, 'what he hopes to make, what his father does, who his girl friends are, whether he is "going steady" or contemplating marriage and so on.

I never talk about the contract during the meal, but have it lying on the table. Before finishing dessert, most prospects are so curious they will 'ask to pick it up before I start to tell them about it, I have timed myself over and over again on this talk. It takes about seven minutes from start to close, including getting the premium check.

Here it is: "Bob, too many people think life insurance is complicated. Actually, all a fellow does when he buys a life insurance contract is create an immediate estate. Now, this plan is drawn up for $5,000, so the first day you are worth this amount. Every year, as you make cash deposits on your contract you are doing nothing more than building a cash reserve for yourself in the event of an emergency, for you know exactly what amount you will have in the third, the ninth, or the twenty-fifth year.

"If you die tomorrow or ten years from now, this $5,000 that you set out to save for your retirement would be payable to your beneficiary. If nothing happens, this $5,000 comes back to you in the form of a retirement.

"This illustration is drawn for an age 65 retirement plan, because Social Security comes due at that time and most company retirement plans start at age 65, But, should you want to retire at 60, 55 or even 50, you could quit and cash in this contract, but for a lesser amount than $5,000. This plan, including your accumulated dividends, will show at age 65 a profit of $1,783. That is a pretty goad deal, isn't it?

family would receive $5,000 —that is a pretty good deal.

"This diagram here illustrates actually what every man gaes through during his life, and I think you will agree that it gives a true picture. Let's say the average fellow starts to work at about age 18. He saves for maybe a whole year, then sees a beautiful car, and he just has to have it.

"Now he is 19 and broke. But he is not discouraged.

"He starts out again and saves a little money. Now he becomes engaged and is broke again. Still he isn't discouraged.

"So he starts out at 20 and saves for maybe two or three years until he has enough to get married. Then he is broke again. After that, it's his home, raising children, educational problems and the same old pattern.

"But if this yOung fellow had started out at 18 and promised himself that out of every $10 or $15 that he earned he would put away one dollar for his future needs, this would build and build it would be his greatest savings of all. Because some day this fellow of 18 has to quit work and take the money that he had saved and live on it. Isn't that right? Now, that is what this plan is geared to do, and here is how it works: "At your age (22) this plan calls for you to save $7 a month or about $1.75 per week."

After the examination, Bob and I go to lunch again — this time closer to where he works, for I want to meet his friends. If Bob speaks to someone going by, I ask about him. It is surprising how many times it's possible to get in this way.

After lunch, I accompany him back to his office. While there, I try to get him to introduce me to some of his friends — and the cycle starts again!

YOUR CHILD'S REPORT CARD After teaching for many years in the public schools I am convinced that rep ort cards are a crime against children.

If you have been enjoying proud comp lacence because of Susan's card of straight A's, or if you feel disgraced because Jimmy is being retained another year, just relax and take those grades for what they are worth. Don't make your child miserable. Percentage grades were never intended to be a basis for social judgment. They are not always a true indication of his mental ability.

They are often cruelly unjust because low g rades are not always caused by an inferior mind.

My first students are now adults, established in their own homes and businesses. Some have become important, successful and well known. I am often happily surprised by the significant achievement of some persons whose school records were only average. I have yet to hear of one of my most brilliant pupils becoming famous for anything.

Many of the students with unusually high IQs have become very ordinary people. Studying was so easy for them that they never have learned to dig in and exert themselves. After all, much that a person accomplishes in life is due to effort and application in the field that he likes. Your Jimmy may have low grades now, but some day when he finds what he likes, he may surprise you.

I remember a shy little girl with braids and a recurring toothache. Recently she carried the lead in an important play. Those miserable teeth have been replaced and she is beautiful.

Her D in arithmetic doesn't matter now.

I remember John, who never did pass in spelling, though at his own insistence he stayed after school every night for help. He became the manager of one of our super-markets. The boy who never received a passing grade in reading came to see .me a couple of years ago. He was working with the FBI. Lucy was so pretty and above 'average in every subject. She now has her second illegitimate baby. There was Jean who flunked arithmetic. I did not regret failing her because she was so bright, but so lazy. She was graduated later with honors and has her Master's Degree.

Don't discredit your child if his grades are below average. It could be unfair.

I will always be sorry about Ruthie, whom I graded low in both cooperation and study habits because she failed to follow directions and frequently asked "Hem?", with what I considered an

lm-

(By Helen Young) pertinent manner. I don't know why it took me so long to discover that she had a serious hearing loss.

Your child's low grades could be caused by some unknown physical defect.

Of course the teachers constantly watch for signs of poor vision, hearing loss, malnutrition and obvious ailments, but I remember the boy who puzzled us for a long time before his diabetes was discovered, and the little girl who died suddenly of toxic thyroid, and several tired little youngsters with anemia.

Pay attention of you get a health notice of any kind from the teacher. I've sent out many notices of poor vision, poor hearing, tooth defects and general poor health that were ignored by parents until the school had to foce the issue.

You can clo • something about your child's body, but it is harder to help him if he has a troubled mind. Don't scoff. Parents are usually the last to discover that their child is troubled.

Why should he be? you ask. He has everything! Things do not make him happy. But conditions can make him very unhappy. Or knowledge, or guilt, or jealousy, can worry him so that he simply can't do good school work.

Why do schools continue to issue rep ort cards? Partly because parents insist on them. You want to know what your child is doing. That is all right if you use the report correctly, as a sort of thermometer to show when some thing is wrong and the child needs help. Or perhaps your child is different and cannot, or will not conform.

Actually, that is what a report card is; a report on the way your child compares with other children in his ability to abide by the rules and complete the prescribed, amount of work determined by your state school system.

For purposes of comparison, nothing can beat the grading system. Jimmy finds out that he is third from the worst speller in the room. He suffers because he feels below average, but that does not make him a better student, or give him a keener brain, or help him to develop his own special abilities. Susan learns to love that little glow of superiority that comes when she finds she is in the top ten. She is above average and she never lets you forget it.

Some parents and teachers feel that competitive grades stimulate a child to do his best work. Certainly competition is stimulating, and awards have their place, but they can be used without the

detailed grading which makes the retarded child feel even more inferior.

Teachers feel that a goal must be attained, a standard be reached, certain skills learned, before the child is ready to go en to another grade. But teachers know when, without all the detailed grading that places a child either above, or below, his classmates.

What about the different child, the one who can not, or will not, conform?

The child who does not work twentyfive problems on Thursday night? The child who listens to symphony records instead of reading chapter nine in the history book? The bo ywho works on his jalopy and flunks Spanish? Are those children dumber? Or wiser? Or just different?

If you have a child like that, encourage him, help him develop, but don't belittle him. And don't nag. You may be producing an Edison, or an Einstein, or a Paderewski or a Rembrandt. ) o •( DONATIONS TO MOUCKA FUND I am listing below the names of donors to the Moucka Fund during the month of December, 1955: $250.00 Supreme Lodge 5.00 Br. and Sister Joe Valcik 3.00 Br: and Sister John Machac 3.00 Sister Marie Linka 2.00 Sister Anna Sramek 20.00 Sister P.

FORT WC,.

On the banks of the Trinity River in Texas, a city rises out of the open prairie. It is Fort Worth, where the West begins, It is the capital and queen city of west Texas, a 120,000 square mile domain.

Down the canyon of West Seventh Street the wind whistles off the plain at 45 miles an hour between tall buildings that stab at the sky as if pointing the direction of Fort Worth's future. It is a friendly, big, garrulous, open-hearted town. Here live ,350,000 people in this year 1956.

All of this began 100 years ago with four events noted at the time by only a handful of interested and determined settlers. In 1856, the first general school was created by community action. The first industry was launched. A post office was established. And in that fateful year, by dint of undaunted. determination, Fort Worth became the county seat.

The future was pregnant with promise. Fort Worth's hour of destiny had not yet struck, but the wheels of history had been set in motion.

Only six years earlier, the United States Army had founded here on the untamed prairie a fort, charged with the mission of protecting the increasing wagonloads of settlers from the ravages of the savage Indian tribes which reamed the area.

In 1853, with the thin edge of settlement pushing westward, the fort had been abandoned and in its place had sprung up a tough-rooted little civilian community on a bluff overlooking the Trinity Valley and the southward tilt of the rolling plain.

Other settlements, to be sure, had clawed a tenuous foothold in this new frontier. Others opened schools and post offices, hopefully started infant industries, became county seats.

But there was, even then, something about the spirit of this frontier village which marked it for permanency. It was like a hardy little prairie flower, determined not tc wither on its vine under the scorching southwestern sun.

Wagon trains of settlers were rolling westward, looking for a place to get a new start and stake the family future.

Some 30 miles to the east lay Dallas, already established, like a roadblock across the trail.

When the wagons rumbled through on the westward track, Dallas men would stop them with lurid tales of danger to the west. "The Indians will surely scalp you if you venture to Fort Worth," they warned. Here, perhaps, began Fort

Worth's much vaunted early reputation as a wild and woolly place.

Here, too, began an intense rivalry which has raged for a hundred years.

Picking up the challenge, the Fort Worth settlement sent riders to intercept the wagons east of Dallas and escort them to Fort •Worth along a trail that bypassed the neighboring village.

And here, adSo, was born a tradition of resourcefulness in building a city.

Fort Worth had no doctor. When Julian Field, a leading community figure, became ill, it was necessary to send to Dallas for young Dr. Carroll Peak. The townspeople+ immediately set upon him with blandishments. They would. not hear of his leaving. He and his wife were put up in an abandoned barracks, and he stayed in Fort Worth.

Unwilling to trust the schooling of the children to the erratic comings and goings of wandering tutors, the infant community in 1856 called an election, chose a school board, imported two regular teachers, and erected a crude school building The first industry, appropriately enough, was milling. Julian Field, R. S. Mauk and David Man built a gristmill to make flour from the wheat brought in from neighboring farms.

The nearest post office was Dallas. Dr. Peak hired n horseman to ride over semi-weekly and bring back all missiles addressed to Fort Worth's residents, and for this service he charged a dime a letter. In 1856, President Franklin Pierce recognized the new community carved out of the frontier by appointing Julian Field as the postmaster, and Fort Worth built its own post office.

The dauntless tradition then aborning was most dramatically portrayed, however, in the circumstances surrounding the removal of the county seat to Fort Worth from Birdville, then a separate village same five miles to the east.

A delegation went to Austin, buttonholed lawmakers, finally prevailing upon the legislature to call an election in which Tarrant County's settlers could choose between the two villages for their seat of justice.

The competition was keen, if not entirely Clean. As an added lure to voters, Birdville leaders cached a big barrel of whisky in an oak grove at the edge of town. Fort V). orth merchants, with less propriety but not to be outdone, stationed huge barrels of free whisky on the public square. Adding insult to injury, an overzealous group of Fort Worthers stealthily made their way into Birdville's grove and siphoned away

('tran3

F Br.L"NS their neighbors' l'oquor, leaving the adversary dispirited in more ways than one.

Riders went out from both cities in all directions to round un voters. It was afterward contended that the total vote far outnumbered the aggregate male population of the county, but a precise census was virtually impossible.

Today, the city's skyline glistens in the bright Texas sunlight. The rather tired old courthouse overlooks the Trinity in the same spot where the Army dragoons built their fort more than a hundred years ago. But in the city's heart pulsates the rhythm of change, of growth,- of still untamed ambition. It dreams new dreams and still believes in a better tomorrow.

OUR DAILY About fifty per cent of the American diet today consists of products made of white sugar and refined, chemicalized white flour. We believe this may be an important reason for the enormous increase in degenerative diseases —cancer, heart disease, stomach ulcers, diabetes, arthritis, etc.

In nature every substance used for food contains vitamins and minerals.

Our bodies must have these elements if we are going to use properly the starch, protein and fat of which various food products are made. Over many thousands of years the human body has been adapting itself to eating this kind of food—charged with vitamins, enzymes and minerals. This is the kind of food that builds and replaces healthy cells. What happens when three or four or fiVe generations of people eat food from which these completely essential substances have been removed? We do not know, for at no earlier time in history has such devitalization of food gone on at such a rapid rate. Doesn't it seem possible that this changed, refined, d.egerreinated food that we eat nowadays may be doing us far more harm tnan we know?

The newly threshed grain or wheat contains practically all of its nutritious essence in the wheat germ—a little nubbin at the end of the grain. The wheat germ is fatty and highly perishable.

Besides it complicates the modern millin P• process by which we make our fine white flour today. So it is removed during the milling process. This makes the white flour that remains almost as completely worthless a food as starch plain laundry starch, for starch is mostly what you have left in white flour. Then the flour is treated with one chemical after another, each re n -deringtmoufirhmancosumption.

For example, the bleach used to bleach the Hour pure white and to make it easy for the bakers to knead contains chlorine which destroys vitamin E when ever it comes in contact with it. A deficiency in vitamin E can apparently inc heart trouble. Can you see why the widespread consumption of bread made from white flour might be responsible for many of those heart disc).- en death figures?

The bleach formerly used in flour (after we had used it for many years) was discovered to be a nerve poison causing fits in dogs who were fed on White flour. We no longer use this bleach. How many years and how many

fatalities will it take before we discover that the bleach used today is not good for us either? Bleach is only one of many, many chemicals used in commercial flour. This means that all these chemicals are present in every product you use which contain white flour— anything made in,a bakery, or, for that matter, any white flour you may use at home.

After all the vitamins, minerals, and all the many probably very important elements have been removed from the flour (in the wheat germ), we "enrich" it by adding several vitamins synthetically made. tWe have removed who knows how many natural elements and we have replaced only four or five synthetic ones. Who can tell us that the "enriched" flour is the same as flour made from whole efain; just as it grows in the field?

Real whole grain flour is highly perishable. It must be kept refrigerated or it will mold, become rancid or buginfested. How could a grocer keep such flour on his shelves until a customer bought it? It must be treated with a preservative and that is exactly what the miller does to it. And in addition, to keep the loaf of bread from molding, the bakers add still another preservative to the bread.

So what are you going to do about bread? Cut down on bread. Most of us eat far, far too much of commercial flour products anyway. Cutting clown on bread will give you the opportunity to eat more vegetables and fruits. You can also make your own bread without preservatives an anti-mold chemicals.

There i Ln encouraging report, a ,r1 P -. :a the news, that the tiny \Oa,- _nian, which once made bread the ,,,aff of life, will shortly be restored to white flour, and that your grocery store will soon haVe white bread more nourishing than whole wheat. In vitamin E alone, which helps prevent heart disease and is essential to its rapid cure, the new bread is seven times richer than anything now on the market.

It is made from wheat germ flour, and it will cost no more than your present loaf. Bakers once said that such a flour could not be stored. They now call it the most revolutionary breadmaking development in 2,000 years.

In a blindfold test made by 270 Chicago women, two out of three found the new bread better tasting. At Ann Arbor, Mich., a baker changed over 1;0 wheat germ flour without advertising the switch. His sales jumped 230 per

cent in three years. An Evanston, Ill., baker says that wheat germ flour is so rich that he needs less milk in baking it. When a big national bakery testmarketed wheat germ bread in Macon, Ga., sales gained 30 per cent in 90 days.

Delighted bakery officials are testing it further in Texas and Florida. Plans for nationwide marketing are now being made.

Biochemical experts at the University of Chicago and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation have found that wheat germ flour has more protein, and fewer calories and earbyhydrates than its :nearest rival, enriched white flour.

That should prove good news to everyone who must watch his weight.

Its vitamin content (including niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, needed to help build stronged. bodies) is far higher.

The new flour has heavier conc*nTrations of the mysterious "trace elements" (traces of other minerals and acids that aid vitality). The wheat germ itself, a mere 2 per cent or 3 per cent of the flour's total volume, seems also to account for its creamy texture.

Good baking is all that is necessary to make the new bread taste good.

HOMEMAKERS, NOT HOUSEWIVES (By Florence Rowland) Since dictionaries define a "wife" as "a married woman," the well known term: housewife is not only misleading but completely inadequate and incorrect. You are not married to a house.

You are married to a man. The word: housewife does not include the intangible as well as the tangible skills, special knowledge, and deep understanding demanded of those who are homemakers.

The woman in the, home is called upon to give spiritual guidance, to act as a psychologist, perform the duties of a nurse, become a catcher on a small son's team, and a great many other such unrelated activities. Somehow she manages to sandwich there in between making the beds, doing the dishes, cutting out a new dress, and preparing the meals.

A hired girl can be trained to perform the routine tasks a house demands.

She can be taught to sweep and dust, to cook and iron. She cleans a house, but she does not create a home.

If you are creating a hone for your loved ones, you are not a housewife.

The next time someone asks you "What do you do?" kanswer with dignity and conviction, "I am a homemaker," for that is what you are.

Women often reply to the question, "What do you do," by answering, "Oh, I'm just a housewife." They may not realize it, but they always sound so apologetic. It is a little dissappointing when they fail to display the pride and satisfaction that should come by following their chosen profession—that of homemaking.

It is about time that women began to demand that the more flattering title be applied to them. They are—or should be—homemakers, not housewives.

The last time the government census taker visited our home, he asked me, "You don't work, do you? Youfre a housewife?"

Politeness kept my fury in check. I thought: don't work, indeed I do not have one job. I have dozens, like every other married woman who is creating a home. I do what a hired girl could do and other things besides. I have learned how to wrap Junior's cut finger and sooth his hurt feelings. I have had to act as a Solomon in disputes between my youngsters. When life has dealt out a disappointment to my husband, I build him up. He knows there is at least one person in this difficult world who believes in him. I spend our money carefully, saving toward a home, a better car, and a college education for three children in the future that will come all too quickly. So much depends on what I do that at times I am more than little frightened by the enormity and gravity of my tremendous responsibility. A family grows or stagnates to the extent of a homemaker's foresight, ability and planning. The man of the family is usually too busy bringing home the pay check to be on hand to help out with the many baffling situations that spring up constantly.

It Backfired Mark Twain once asked a neighbor if he might borrow one of his books.

"Sorry," the man replied ungraciously, "if you want to read it, you'll have to read it here. I've made it a rule never to let any of my books leave the house."

A few weeks later, the same neighbor came to Mark Twain and asked to borrow a lawn mower.

"I shall be very glad to lend you my mower," replied the author, "but since I have made it a rule never to let it leave my yard, you will be obliged to use it there."—Sunshine Magazine. , )• ( To be good is noble, but to teach others to be good is nobler—and less trouble,

WHE I YOUR CHILD GETS CARSICK According to pediatricians who recently spoke at the First International Symposium on Health and Travel, eighty per cent of all children may have motion sickness, especially in cars. So you might say it's more normal than not. Air Force studies indicate that motion sensitivity does decrease with age, although perhaps not significantly until well past adolescence. But you don't have to suffer through this, waiting for your child to grow up—and shouldn't, since motion sickness may cause serious dehydration and certainly may weaken a child nutritionally on any prolonged

trip.

Motion sickness can now be prevented in almost every case by the use of harmless new drugs. The U. S. Air Force has made extensive studies of these remedies, using thousands of men in each test. They found that only a handful of the available remedies are effective, but that those which are good give excellent protection. One of the best of those tested was Bonamine, which differs from the others in that it has to be given only once a day.

One dose gives 24-hour protection, so it's particularly suitable for long trips.

Bonamine, by the way, is now put out in the form of candy-coated chewing gum, so children don't need to know they're getting medicine. Give it an hour or so before starting out.

Besides this preventive, there are other ways to protect your child against motion sickness. Before starting out, don't let him have a lot of sweets or things like pop. Take something along to nibble in case he ' gets hungry, since

an empty stomach aggravates the condition. But keep it simple: plain- or slightly sweetened crackers are good.

Don't forget a thermos of water for occasional sips. When you stop to eat, stick to plain foods, and take a firm stand against indigestible items like hot dogs, chocolate bars, and ice cold drinks. Actually, rather than stopping in a restaurant, it's much better to buy a few supplies and find an attractive picnic spot where you can prepare some simple, hot dish. Canned goods and frozen vegetables make this easy. It's good for the whole family to get out to stretch and relax a bit at intervals, anyway. And take time afterward to rest a bit, too.

One point made by a doctor at the Symposium may be especially important for your child, since he seems to be habitually car-sick and would expect this misery every time you take off.

The point is, that the "emotional climate" before a trip may have something to do with motion sickness. If the child is apprehensive, as he might Well be, be extra loving and reassuring. If you're setting off on some unusual expedition, try not to betray your own excitement. it's catching, and upsetting to a child because he doesn't know what to expect. Make him feel as secure as possible. Family travel should be undertaken "in an atmos phere of mutual confidence, affection and companionship," according to one of the physicians speaking at the Symposium. In that atmosphere, he said, children can profit a good deal by traveling. It's good for personality development and self-reliance.

Zaplava krve ji polila tvar, Jagna odvratila hlavu a v rozpacich zaeala nohama rozhrnovat vodu. MatouS se zamyslil.

Ticho se znova spradalo a hra varhan je prolinala jako konejpSive, tichoueke chveni; rybnik se trpytil, viny v kruzich se rozbihaly od JagninYch nohou jako pruhovani Nadi, stilly se mihaly po hladine pli brehu a mezi MatouSem a jagnou zaealy preskakovat pohledy, jez je vazaly mezi sebou.

Matoug e to stale silneji Ohio k Jagne; nejradeji by ji byl vial na ruce jako det'atko a s nevYslo ynou laskavosti xnul k sobe a konejgil...

"Myslila jsem, ze se na mne ozvala se Jagna tine.

"Nikdy jsem ti neublilil... to snad viS?" "Ano, ale to bylo loni, kdysi. ted' vSak jsi jako ostatni jako..." za§eptala neprozretelne.

"Protole protole ji. . ."

Ne, nedovedl vyslovit to, co ho dusilo . . . ovladl se jeSte a jenom kratce a tvrde iekl: "Bud' s Bohem!"

Musa odejit, aby ji nevyeet1 fojta.

"UtikaS ode nine... co jsem ti udelala?"

Jagna byla polekana, a rozlitostnend.

"Nic . .. nic .. jenom. . ." mluvil rychle a dival se i do modrYch, uplakanYch oei. Zal, dojeti a hnev jim zmitaly. "lenom odeZeri od sebe tu ohavu, odeZen. ji prye, Jagnieko. . ." prosil nalehave.

"Cobak jsem ho volala? Nebo ho snad drZime?" vykrikla Jagna hnevive.

Matoug zilstal stet v nejistote a ye velkYch rozpacich. Jagnu rortras1 nide, sizy jako hrach se ji sypaly po rozpalene

"Takovou hanbu mi zpasobil. . . tak me opil... a nikdo se me nezastane! Nikdo me nepolituje, v gichni jsou na nine jako srgani! aim jsem se provinila. . elm?" Zalovala Jagna bolestne.

"Vgak ja, to tomu lumpovi oplatim!" vybuchl Matou g a zvedl "Odplat', Matougi! Odplat'! A ja .. ." slibovala mu vagnive.

Matoug vice nerekl a pospichal ke kostelu.

Jagna je gte dlouho potom sedela nad rybnikem a premY glela o Matougovi v ze se ji ujme a neda ji ubliMvat.

"A Antek tteba taky piijde," kmitlo ji hlavou.

VESTN/K— WEST, TEXAS Vratila se damn' pine tiChYch, radost nYch nadeji.

Zvony zaealy bit, lid vychazel z ko•stela, testy se zapinily hreicimi vozy i rozmluvami, smith zvonil ye vzduchu, (le postavali tu a tarn pied domy, jenom pied chalupou Dominikove jaksi utichaii, divali se zachmurene na sebe a prechazeli mimo. . . nikdo se u Dominikove ani nezastavil.

Hned nato se cela ves rozhovorila, rozezvueely se svetnice i'sine. . v sadech bylo pino hlasu, protole se zasedalo k obedu pod stromy, y e stinu a chladku.. vg ude bylo videt lidi u stolu, a zvoneni 1Zic, cinkani mis, vane jidla a klineeni psit se neslo paynYm tichem.

Jenona u Dominikove bylo hlucho a pmsto... nikdo k ni nepospichal na nav gtevu. Stare stenala v horeece, Jagna u nemohla vydrZet, postavala na prainr, vychazela as na cestu hned zas tc_,.skne hledela oknem; Simek jako driv sedel pied chalupou, zatim co jedinY Jindrich neztratil hlavu a dal se na druhe strane do vareni.

Teprve nejakou chvili po obede prigla Hanka, ale byla nejake divna. . vyptavala se na A/ gecko, z ylagte na nemocnou, nkradkem se v gak ztrapenYma oelma divala na Jagnu.

Zanedlouho pribehl za Simkem IVlatou "Ptijde g s nami na Nenace?" ptal se.

"Grunt je mnj po otci, neustoupim ani o krok," vedl svou mladik.

"Nastieka na tebe eeka, mate jit piatit ohlaSky." "Nikam neptijda. . . Grunt je Intij po otci a po declovi..."

"Jsi osel, nutit to nikdo nebude. . sed' si tady tleba do zitita!" rozhneval se Matoug , a protole Jagna prave vyprovazela Hanka pied dam, pritoeil se k ni; na Jagnu ani nepobledl.

Sli pomalu cestou nad rybnikem.

"Roh uz prigel?"

"Prigel, u2 tarn eeka. pino muZskYch.."

Matou g se ohledl, Jagna se divala za nimi; obratil se rychle a zeptal se tie Hanky, nehlede ji do oei: "Je to pravda, ‘Ze knez dues nekoho naporninal s kazatelny?"

"Copak jsi to nesly gel? Nae to ze mne tahag..."

"PriSel jsem uZ po kazAni. . . rikali ml o tom, ale mysla jsem, ae si ze nine tropi "Napominal jich nekolik... hrozil pestmi. . .

Hank?, byla boce rortrpeene a rozzlobena, "Fajta se ani sloven nedotkl, a ten to piece zavinil nejvic," dodala tigeji.

Matou g jadrne zaklel, a aekoli se chtel je gte na nem ptat, nemel uZ dust odvaby.

Krana 25 Hanka se celou veci citila liluboce dot6ena, Tot' se vi, ae se patrilo ji poka•at, ale aby ji musil zrovna s kazatelny uvadet skoro jmenem... to je trod-1u mnoho . Je to Borynova 2ena a ne nejake. bepna. rikala si Hanka, zarmoucene., Co bylo mezi niznj., je jejich veci, jinYm,, do toho nic neni.

"Magda ani mlynarovy cleveeky nenapornina; a piece kaZdY vi, co' delaji! A na panske sieeinky z Vole taky nehrbzi pestmi, a proti hrabence z Hluchova, a:6 to vi celY svet, jak se potionka s Pacholky, si taky netroufa," nilnvila Hari v nejhlr.Wim rozhoreeni.

"To je pravda. A Terezkn taky uvadel, co?" Ef.arika, ot,:azku sotva zaslechla.

Kdekdo pochOpil, o korn `OW "Nekcla ho asi na ni popich!" Matou. stai ovladal rozeileni.

"Alkali, ze je to dilo Dominikove anebo Balcarkove; jedna se msti na tobe za Simko. a Nastku, druha zas by to chtela pritahnout ke sve Matence."

"To by byla trefa! Ani me to ye snu no, napadlo!, . ."

"MoZSti valycky vidi jenom to, co maji pied alma a co je jasne jako den."

"Nadarmo se Balcarkova namaha, nadarmo! jeSte maze od Terezky neco utr-. zit...A Cirnek se mush ,oZenit s Nastkou navzdor Dominikove, o to se postaram j I" "Clneji provest svou a nevinni za to trpi," rekla Hanka smutne.

"A jeden je proti druhemu tak, 2e je teZko ye vsi vydrZet." "Dokud tu byl Boryna, byl tu nekdo, kdo dovedl vSechno urovnat, meli koho poslouchat."

"Tot' se vi, fojt je trouba, nieeniu rozumi a vyvadi kusy, ze ho mezi lidein nikdo neposlechne, Kdyby se aspon tek vratil!"
