Sn ad bychom si ani nemohli nic leptlho 014, net abychom vgichni z1il budoucne v dobre shode, soula,du, doma, v spolcich se sousedy ba s celou lidskou spoleenosti.

Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 485, West, Texas.

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. BOX 400, TEMPLE, TEXAS to give you a good "Vestnik," one that you will reach for first, when your postman brings it to your doorstep.

Your editor has a set policy and will honestly try to make this paper the "Voice of Our Membership."

By that I mean, the voice of ALL of our people as long as I will endeavor to stay within reason and be thoughtful of our brother's feelings.

The signer will make his articles short, to the point, in plain words and he sincerely hopes that you will, through your letters, help to make our "Vestnik" the best fraternal organ in the south.

To you, I promise to adhere, by clean, straightforwardness to the principle8 upon which our SPJST was founded: "Benevolence, Humanity and Fraternity."

These three words should mean so much to us all, for they cover everything that is fine and noble in any person's life.

So then, let's conduct all of our dealings, all of our affairs in such a way that anyone on the outside will gladly admit: "These people not only preach fraternalism, but they also practice it in their daily dealings."

Such praise will not only make us all happy in the future, but we will also gain thereby new friends as we go along.

Please know, iihat any success I have in this new position will also be your success, for I could not do it alone. So, I solicit your contributions again.

We, therefore, ask you to become our correspondents and regular readers. Your comments, Jetters and reports of local activities will be just as welcome to all of our readiars as a letter from home.

Our paths have been cleared for progress. Your officers and directors stand ready to use the experience of the past to meet our problems. It's up to us now to help them wherever we can. Let's all remember to give them our support and confidence.

I, as one, will always be remindful of the obligations that the editorship of our "Vestnik" involves and it is my SISTERS AND BROTHERS desire to strive to serve all of our readers to the very best of my ability, withof our out reservation.

I have known many of you, your famFRATERNITY REMINDER ilies, personally for many years and it we wish Besides -bringing reports from our is heart-warming to know of the moral support I have among you all over this lodges ,districts and our headquarters, our organ should propagate insurance that during 1957 some of your most vast state of Texas. cherished dreams will come true! and fraternal fellowship.

In this report, I am also including the addresses of these charter members in order that they might know of one another should some of them wish to correspond with some of the others.

our Order will enjoy greater growth than ever before.

With this hope and with this presentiment, I wish you Brothers and Sisters, good health, contentment, and prosperity in the New Year Frateinally yours. J. F. Chupick, Sec'y

Strana 17 LET'S STRENGTHEN THE BONDS THAT TIE US TOGETHER

I-Pare we are again—at the beginning of the year, glad the old ye2r is gone and reflective of the new twelve months before us. A time of taking inventory of one's status in this world. A time of new hope and confidence of the future.

In our fraternal brotherhood, it is the time of strengthening bonds between brothers, lodgos and our Supreme Lodge.

It is the time of forgiving and forgetting old grievances, irritations and close rank for unity. We are all fallible.

We all bear the burden of steering our organization, never forgetting that we owe this to our immediate ancestors who conceived and built this their monument to brotherhood, for America who received them in their pursuit for freedom, for the children and grandchildren (our citizens of tomorrow) of these hard-working, thrifty inimigrants from Czechoslovakia. Be it to their glory.

So, in this new year to come, let us roll up our sleeves, so to speak, forget our bickerings, and solidly stand each other in true brotherhood for the betterment of our Order and for our own personal happiness and satisfaction. You shall receive only that amount of personal satisfaction out of your efforts by the amount of effort expended.

We shall all be a year older, some of us will leave our ranks this year for eternal rest, so let's all enjoy this fraternal work while it is possible for each of "us to do so.

Only by tolerance of each other's faults, good will on 'our part to the voice of the majority, solidly united in effort we will find that personal happiness and satisfaction.

May the New Year be rich in its blessings to you, sister and brother, and may the reflection of your blessings cast its magic rays on the rest of us and our good Order.—L.O.H. 49 o (If you can love those that hurt you to be more concerned about mercy and have less concern about money making, to help lift the fallen, comfort the sorrowing, — heal the broken-hearted, to help more and criticize less, ---.-- then you are in possession of real happines. ) ® 0, (----__--h

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Dear Brothers and Sisters: First, we would like to thank you for the many, many Christmas greetings, plus notes and letters received from such great numbers of you members from all over this beautiful Texas for your best wishes and other words of encouragement in our new capacity.

If the readers will but stop and think back, it was YOU who asked me to run for this office at the convention and it was YOU who voted me in (over 12,690 votes of yours.) I made no promises to any individuals, groups, I am beholden to no one—only to you—the yoke of the people to protect you from insults, half-truths and bickerings in our paper.

This sI promised and I am truly sorry that my sincere remarks made in ray previous two issues, while Brother Steve Valcik was on vacation, were misconstrued as one-armed censorship.

Your letters will be printed as they are written UNDER THE ABOVE MENTIONED CONDITIONS — regardless of who sends them in. That's what you wanted.

Defore our delegation of Lodge 92 left for the convention, we were instructed to go back to issues from former years, preferably as far back as the East Bernard Convention (our Lodge No. 92 has all of these issues bound) and brief up on events. There were a lot of controversial issues involved that to us didn't seem complete, so, without hesitation, for time was growing short, we followed up the other side of the story, There are two sides, you know, to everything.

We were amazed, for now the picture took. on another hue. When we asked, "Why didn't you tell this side?" the answer was "How could we—for unless the reader has minute knowledge of the set-up of an organization of this size, how can you explain it all on paper?" "You can't." "Then, trying to explain this complicated procedure to some who have no conception of the insurance business would only add to the confusion, so, we had to let them rage."

That makes horse sense.

The same convention elected officers and directors in whom_ the membership had complete confidence -- and as citizens of this democracy it behooves us to and behind them, to trust to their judgment and decisions and every mai Lined person will bow to the majority for the good of our SPJST and pull togethor. That does not necessarily mean that you agree totally with everything that is done, but we reiterate, for the

good of our Order, we fall in line and pull together.

I There are still some individuals in our midst who with avenging hate sit poised for an opportunity to pounce upon some picked member and take him down a peg or two. By taking a line here from some letter he may have contributed in good faith, and a line there, he presents a pretty hypocritical picture of the victim and all the whila, if the whole issue were also revealed, the story would show up altogther differently. Again, for the sake of unity, let's resolve that this 1957 be constructive--not tear down the honest efforts of others with such tactics. Everybody makes mistakes, even you. Costly mistakes have been made, conventions and conventions ago, that are still brought up.

Let's proceed — there will be others made — for on them we grow, without mistakes humanity would decay.

Another item( that needs clarification from the start, the Supreme Lodge is bound by its set rules and regulations and it is not the intention of this editor to ask for special privileges. We shall adhere to the rules as did Brother Steve or better, so our readers can rest assured that the editor will get only his as did his pred.cessor and that's all the editor asks.

We extend to each of you our invitation to contribute to your paper and with a little forbearance and good will, until we get our feet on the ground, we are sure you will be just as happy with our editorship as you were with Brother Steve's.

Happy New Year, Ludva 0. Hosek • .7„ • Because we believe that contributions from our correspondents in the different corners of our state are eagerly sought by our readers, we plan to set aside plenty of room in both sections of our paper.

We are looking forward to your frequent letters and only ask that you write plainly, on one side of the paper preferably in ink, but a soft pencil will suffice for those of you who don't have a good writing pen, so that the Linotype operator could read it.

Every letter that reaches us (before mailing) Saturday (and those of an emergency nature not later than early Monday morning) will be published the following Wednesday.

Thank you for your kind consideration and cooperation in this matter.- L.O.H.

The Common Cold Nell Rolsten, R. N. The "cold season" is here again. As mothers realize, there are more colds in fall, winter and spring. Quick changes of weather and changes from heated rooms to the cold outside cause sniffles and sneezes that often develop into colds. Colds cause more loss of work and school time than any other condition, yet trying every remedy offered can be dangerous and may *mean more time loss.

Medical science has no cure for colds yet mothers can do certain things to prevent children from having so many.

See that the children wear clothes that are warm, but allow them to romp and play. Never let them stay too long in the cold, nor remain outdoors with wet clothing. Galoshes keep little feet warm and dry in rain or snow. Since more colds develop on Monday, doctors blame our crowded week ends. Mother can see that late TV programs, ball games, or travel do not upset the children's schedule too much. From Friday aftarnoon until the bell rings Monday morning can be pleasantly restful or a mad rush from one activity to another. The family in the mad rush is likely to be the family with the "Monday morning colds." One less party, one less date, one less tennis game sends sister or brother to school Monday morning well and happy.

In the home mother can help by providing good ventilation without drafts and keeping down dust. Vacuum cleaning is best, yet dust can be controlled by dampening the broom when sweeping. Using an oil mop on wood or lino-. leum floors prevents stirring up dust.

It is up to mother to serve well planned, hot, aplotizing meals to build good healthy bodies.

When a cold does strike, doctors do not say go to bed as formerly, but do try to slow the pa'03nt down, keep the child separated from the others as much as possible and give extra liquids, especially fruit juices. Aspirin, if allowed by the doctor, may help to control fever and make the child more comfortable. Do not use nose drops unless pre scribed by the doctor, since certain kinds can be very harmful. Toys or games which are not too active, keep the child from fretting and allow more rest.

A little planning and a lot of perseverance on mother's part will assure fewer colds and happier children.

R._20RTS FROM LOCAL LODGES WHAT A PARTY AT LINDEN HALL OF LODGE NO. 66 The invitation to attend the Christmas party at Lindon Hall (Lodge 66) received by the editor and wife was truly an evening to be remembered.

The beautiful Linden Hall, nestled in a grove of trees off the road at Elm Mott, was cheerfully lit up and from within one could hear the hum of activity.

The hall was tastefully decorated in the Christmas spirit and with a large Christmas tree proudly glistening on the stage and tables in white with mistletoe and evergreen decorations were ready to raceive the hungry crowd.

The whole atmosphere was one of happiness and excitement, everyone glad to see the other. Tha children, our citizens of tomorrow, with nary a worry but the business of Santa Claus at hand, were laughing and jumping about squealing delightedly at the ever mounting pile of gifts on the stage, timidly fingering the colored wrappings in childish wonder which gift they would get and what would be wrapped in it.

A corps of sisters of Lodge 66 were busily bringing dishes on the long buffet table, bustling about like bees in a hive.

The din of activity and the aroma of food from the kitchen and buffet made the atmosphere right for good fellowship and good will.

Having done our best by the laden tables in good companionship, we contentedly turned to the program arranged by the committee.

The master of ceremonies first introduced and thanked the outgoing offiears of the lodge, then proceeded to introduce and welcome the new officers for the year 1957 to the assembly.

Johns, Newfoundland Canada Dear Vestnik Readers: Recently I was afforded the opportunity to experience a rather unusual tour.

The occasion was made possible by-the arrival of the Russian fishing trawler "Sverdlovsk,' in the port of St. Johns in Newfoundland. The 6000 ton trawler brought Russia's Fishery Minister, Alex-! ander Ishkov, to Newfoundland for tlia begiiming of a tour that will carry Mr Ishkov from Newfoundland on the At, 'antic Ocean to Vancouver on the chic Ocean.

The purpose of this tour is to foster good relationships and allow Mr. Ishkov to study Canada's fishery techniques St.

Strana 20 and equipment .

It gave me a funny feeling to see the Sverdlovsk in her berth—her snowwhite body contrasted by her bright red funnel emblazoned with a yellow hammer and sickle. Above her masts the Russian ensign spanked the breeze with a steady plop, plop sound. Foreign ships are not a rarity in St John's harbor. but a Russian ship has not visited St. Jonhss since the war years.

The German-built Sverdlovsk is the world's largest fishing trawler, and from the point of her streamlined bow to the end of her two-finned stern, she is immaculate. Russia has sixteen more Of the same type ships on order from shipyards in Kiel and Hamburg, Gerinany. In the middle of the back deck (stern) there is a steel-plated incline leading down to the water between double tail fins. Powerful winches draw nets laden with fish up this incline during the process of fishing known as trawling. Between the Sverdlovsk's six decks the fish are cleaned, filleted, consumer packaged, and frozen. Poorer grade fish livers are rendered for their oil—cod, halibut liver oil, while higher grade livers are canned. All of these processes and more are carried out on board so that when the ship docks, only a finished product is unloaded. The Sverdlovsk can fish the seas for as long as two months without docking for provisions.

Since the Russian ship had been holding open house, we decided to go aboard.

However, seeing the ship's end of the gangplank barred, I mounted as far as the, ship's rail to try to find out what time visitors would be allowed aboard.

A couple of inquiries in English disclosed that the guard on watch did not understand so in desperation, I tried my Czech on him. Pointing to my watch I asked "V kolik hodin odevrete" (when do you open)? His face beamed and he replied in Russian "V steri hodin" (four o'clock.) There was enough similarity 'between his answer and the, Czech equivalent that I had no trouble understanding him.

Promptly at four o'clock my wife and I boarded the gangplank and we were at Once received by a guide who took four of us in hand for our tour of the ship. It was at once painfully evident that our guide spoke no English. He did his best, gesticulating wildly. He was showing us the ship's "spital" (hospital), when I said to him: "Jo mluvim Ceskyty rozumis cesky?" (I s peak Czech, do you understand Czech?) He replied, "Da, ja rozemin po cesky, ale malo."

(Yes, I understand Czech, a little.) Anyway, from that time on he treated me

NT ES

— WEST, TEXAS

as a long lost brother taking a great delight in showing us everything. On the bridge he tuck great pride in showing us the ship's two compasses, explaining "Dva, Kompas," (two composes) "IvIagneticky a Radio Kompas" (Magnetic and Radio compass.)

He then explained the radar and "Automatiksky Pilot" (Automatic Pilot) that would keep the ship on a set course veering neither left or right or as our guide said "Ne na. levo abo na pravo."

Next our guide showed us his modern, well equipped and comfortable "Tsimmer" (Darman) room or cabin where he and his "Tovarish" (comrade) lived. Then came the engine room alive with its throbbing diesel engines and sparkling with a great multitude of gauges, brightly polished copper piping and brass fittings. Nowhere could one find a speck of dirt or a spot of grease.

The tour next took us to the "Kino" (German) picture show where a heavy comedy in Russian was playing. The movie was well attended by the ship's crew and since there were no vacant seats, we were not eager to stay. Our guide quickly solved the seating problem by barking what sounded like "Stine" (arise or stand) and immediately seats were vacated. Throughout the picture our host kept watching me to see if I knew when to laugh nad occasionally he would ask me "Rozumis" (understand). Surprisingly enough I could understand a word or two here and there but not as much as my host thought I could understand.

After the movie our guide insisted on my having a Russian cigarette which represents quite an experience in itself.

Two-thirds of the cigarette is tobacco and the other third is a hollow paper cylinder. This type of arrangement insured that the smoker can utilize every last is-,( of his tobacco. When you smell paseer burning, then you know that you, have reached the end.

During the course of our polylingual conversation, I learned from our host that his home was "Kerf" (Kiev) and that he was raised in the "Urkiena" (Ukraine—in Europe close of Slovakia.)

We were shown the rest of the ship with the same enthusiasm and good spirit on the part of our host. I know that Le must have conducted that same tour countless of other times, but if he was bored, it was not detectable in his outward -manner. I would like to 'think that perhaps he felt less like a foreigner on display once he discovered that we had something in common that is, a language. Even though the similarity is slight, it is possible with a little ingenuity, use of synonyms, etc.,

Wednesday, January 2, 1957 to make oneself understood.

Besides the technical interest of the tour of the Sverdlovsk, I am grateful for the opportunity of seeing and talking to some of the people commonly known as "those Russians," Too, often people assume that the Russian people are somehow strangely different. Of course, I cannot comment on their political ideologies but as far as physical appearance, friendliness, and courtesy, they are not very different from all of you good people of Texas.

With kind personal regards to all my friends at Lodge 92 and to the Vestnik readers, I remain, Sincerely yours, Dr. Jerry J.

Our combination SPJST - SCBJ and Sokol Christmas program turned out fine. The children really did a geed job.

Thanks to all of them. The audience seemed well pleased and I noticed they were a very quiet audience; this is always appreciated. Santa didn't get to stay very long, I am sure se got to see and talk to all the small children, some were delighted to see him but then others seemed a little frightened. I think they all enjoyed it.

In my last report there was a typical error and at this time I would like to make a correction. Sister Mary A. Laznovsky is, our organizer and Brother Wesley Tupy is librarian for 1957. I'll try to make sure this doesn't happen again.

I would like to urge all members of Volna Oachie No. 135 to attend our next meeting which will be on the 13th of January. Make a resolution to attend more meetings in '57 than you did in '56.

Corpus Christi, Texas Dear Members, The annual meeting of Lodge 56 of Corpus Christi was held December 9 at 2:35 p. m. with 26 members being present.

This is a small percentage of the membership of the lodge. Seems to me that the members are not interested in the activities of the lodge which they are a member of.

Before the elections of officers for the coming year a motion was made and passed that the pay of the officers was raised. This sounded like a good deal.

Another motion was made and passed and reads as follows: Every month the secretary and treasurer will meet before the regular meeting and make a report of all the members that owe dues for three months and more. This means that this foolishness has gone far enough and givinri members time to straighten out. If a member doesn't

VAS .1'Nf — WEST, TEXAS show up at the meetings and owes for 3 months he will be suspended and has 90 days to come and pay the dues. It doesn't seem right for some of the members to pay for their fellow members who never come to a meeting and don't Care one way or the other. It's a shame that they do want to be a member of the lodge and than they forget their responsibiltities to pay their dues regularly. So please members attend the next meeting, January 13, at 2:00 o'clock p. m.

Officers elected for the corning year are: President, John Stasa, Vice president,Albert Regmund; Secretary, Betty Jurica.; Treasurer, Chas. Regmund; Finnacial Secretary, V. Halla. Youth Director Betty Jurica, Assistant Youth Director Annie Regmund, Auditing Committee: Frank Veselka, Annie Regmund and Frank Sijansky. Delegate to District meetings Rud. Troubil, Alternate, John Nemec.

After the meeting adjourned, a good lunch was prepared by the sisters of the lodge.

St a 21 dren and folks, had quite a serious chat with the M. C. It seemed that Santa was "mike shy", so he had the M. C. tell all the folks the Teen-age Club wanted to present to the Lodge president a present for the Lodge. And what a present it was! An e;ectric Coffee Urn that can make any amount of coffe. So here the Lodge wishes to say Thank You to the ten-agers. We call on all our members to support this Youth Club as they certainly are working hard to make this a success.

December 16, a Christmas party was held at the Sokol Hall. It was sponsored

by Lodge 56, Sokol Corpus Christi and S. V. P. S. There were bags for every one present. On the rpogram were recitations, films of the Sokol Slet in Chicago in 1953, and Santa Claus's appearance. Following this, luncheon was served. All in all everyone had a good time.

Brother Hosek, I wish you lots of luck in your editorship. Here's also wishing all the oficers of the Supreme Lodge a Vary happy and prosperous New Year.

We also wish to thank Sister Bessie Petr and her assistants in presenting the program; to Brother'Frank Henzen, who was the song director, and to all the kind sisters who brought( the good pastries. All did a very fine job. The coffee was 'furnished by the Lodge.

Here are the results of our election of the Lodge officers for 1957: President — Cyril Pokladnik Vice President — Ben Jarma Secretary — Frank Henzen Bookkeeper — Annie Steiner Treasurer — Carlyn Ondrusek Eentertainment Comntittee: Chairman — Ben Jarma Bill Gaiser, Jerome Rejcek, Ray Smith, John Kubacak, Emil Chmelar, Bessie Petr, Annie Marek, Estelle Smith.e House Committee: Frank Vodicka, John Kubacak, Jerome Rejcek.

The duty of the House Committee is to look after the building and than nuke a report to the Lodge, as there are many times repairs need to be taken care of these themselves. This is a hardworking team.

In my last report I failed to mention, that Bill Gaiser is also on the new Building Committee.

LODGE POKROK DALLAS NO. 84 Dallas, Texas Dear Members and Friends, Just before Christmas, I caught myself napping and therefore, didn't send the Season's Greetings.

However, in behalf of Lodge No. 81, may we wish you all, and to our past editor, Brother Valcik a very Happy New Year. Also we welcome our new editor, Brother Hosek.

Success and patience with my letters.

The Christmas program presented by our youngsters and our teen-agers was very goode Many people attended and enjoyed themselves very much. All the "actors" and "actresses" performed nicely.

James Janousek, as master of ceremonies, did an excellent job. At the end of the program, Santa appeared on stage, and after waving to all the chil-

Now here is something Lodge No. 84 never had before, but there is always a first time. We elected Brother Emil Petr as our kitchen supervisor and he seems to be very happy over it. His first assistant is Sister Estelle Smith, and second, is Sister Carlyn Ondrusek. The job is to keep the kitchen well supplied, so help them when they call on you.

Hall Tender is Brother Vodicka. He takes care of the hall after any dances or parties. He sees to it that everything is in order for the next dance. Brother Vodicka has been doing this for many years and deserves a lot of praise. ,The chairman of the Entertainmenti ,Committee has the power to pay him for this work, whatever he sees fit.

Also, we have a gain elected our faithful member of many years, Brother Charlie Staglik, as Bar Tender. His job is to see that the drinks are kept cold for each event, besides being behind the

:rone: bar. He also has to come during the week preceding a dance to see if all is Well with coolers. Our bar supplies are taken care of by our very good member, Brother Vacla y Blatny.

A -motion had been made and accepted that the members interested in putting on stage shows will present a show sometime after the new year. This will be for the benefit of our SPJST Rest Herne and we may possibly have a dinner, in addition. Plans have already started for this show and it won't be long before it will be in full swing.

Working on this project are Sister Bozena Jez, a veteran of stage shows, and Sister Annie Marek, who is not new at this either. So, we have two fine workers and can look forward to a good show.

Watch the Vestnik for more details.

ATTENTION PLEASE! With Lodge approval, the Entertainment Committee is going to sponsor all the future dances to be' held. We will still have two regular dances a month unless there are five Saturdays in a month and than there May be an extra dance which would be advertised. Otherwise, dances will be held on the Sat. preceeding the 1st Sunday of each month and on the Saturday before the third Sunday of each month.

The reason for this is that many members:with children would like to attend dances. But because the children are in school, it is a little hard for them to get upon- Monday mornings (and that goes for adults, too, as you may know.)

The advertisement was sent, but somehow got misplaced, and, therefore was not placed in the Vestnik.

Your fOend, L. 0. Hosek, the new editor ) • els • ( THE FLAMING HORSE There was once a land that was dreary and dark as the grave, for the sun of heaven never shone upon it The king of the country had a wondorful horse that had, growing right on his forehead, a flaming sun. In order that his subjects might have the light that is necessary for life, the king had this horse led back and forth from one end of his kingdom to the other. Whenever he went

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS his flaming head shone out and it seemed like beautiful day.

Suddenly this wonderful horse disappeared. Heavy darkness that nothing could dispel sottled down on the -country. Fear spread among the people and soon they were suffering terrible poverty, for they were unable to cultivate the fields or do anything else that would earn them a livelihood. Confusion increased until the king saw that the whole country was likely to perish. In order then, if possible, to save his people, he gathened his army together and set out in search of the missing horse.

Through heavy darkness they groped their way slowly and with difficulty to the far boundaries of the kingdom. At last they reached tho ancient forests that bordered the neighboring state and they saw gleaming through the trees faint rays of the sunshine with which that kingdom was blessed.

Here they came upon a small lonely cottage which the king entered in order to find out where he was and to ask directions for moving forward.

A man was sitting at the table reading diligently from a large open book. When the king bowed to him, he raised his eyes, returned the greeting, and stood up. His whole appearance showed that he was no ordinary man but a seer.

"I was just reading about you," he said to the king, "that you ware gone in search of the flaming horse. Exert yourself no further, for you will never find him. But trust the enterprise to me and I will get him for you."

"If you do that, my man," the king said, "I will pay you-royally."

"I seek no reward. Return home at once with your army, for your people need you. Only leave here with me one of your serving men."

The king did exactly as the seer advised and went home at once.

The next day the seer and his man set forth. They journeyed far and long until they had crossed six diffierent countries. Then they went on into the seventh country which was ruled over by three brothers who had married three sisters, the daughters of a witch.

They made their way to the front of the royal palace, where the seer said to his man. "Do you stay here while I go in and find out whether the kings are at home. It is they who stole the flamin horse and the younest brother rides him."

Then the seer transf''rmed himself into a green bird and how up to the window of the eldest queen and flitted about and pecked until she opened the window and let him into her chamber.

Strana 2 When sh'o let him in, he alighted on her white hand and the queen was as happy as a child.

"You pretty thing" she said, playing with him. "If my husband were home how pleased he would bef But he's off visiting a third of his kingdom and he won't be home until ovening."

Suddenly the old witch came into the room and soon as she saw the bird she shrieked to her daughter: "Wring the neck of that cursed bird, or it will stain you with blood!"

"Why -should it stain me with blood, the dear innocent thing!"

"Dear innocent mischief! shrieked the witch. "Here, give it to me and I'll wring its neck!"

She tried to catch the bird, but the bird changed itself into a man and was aineady outs of the door before they knew what had become of him.

After that he changed himself again into a green bird and flew up to the window of the second sister. He pecked at it until she opened it and let him in.

Then he flitted about her, settling first on one of her white hands, then on the other.

"What a dear bird you are!" cried the queen.

"How you would please my husband if he were at home. But he's off visiting two-thirds of his kingdom and he won't be back until tomorrow evening."

At that moment the witch ran into the room and as soon as she saw the bird she shrieked out: "Wring the meek of that wretched bird, or it will stain you with blood!"

"Why should it stain me with blood?" the daughter answered. "The dear innocent thing!"

"Dear innocent mischief!" shrieked the witch. "Here, give it to me and I'll wring its neck!"

She reached out to catch the bird, but in less time than it takes to clap a hand, the bird had changed itself into a man who ran through the door and was gone before they knew where he was.

A moment later he again changed himself in to a poen bird and flew up to the window of the youngest queen.

He flitted about and pecked until she opened the window and let hiin in. Thep he alighted at once on her white hand and this pleased her so much that she laughed like a child and played with him.

'Oh, what a dear bird you are!" she cried. "How you would delight my husband if he were home. But ho's off visiting all three parts of his kingdom and he won't be back until the day after tomorrow in the evening."

"What beautiful roses! said the servant. "I have never seen any such in all my life. I'll go pluck a few. As I can't eat or drink, I'll comfort myself with roses."

"Don't dare to pluck them!" cried the seer. "I'll pluck them for you."

In the ancient tomb of a 4-yera-old child in Gordium, Turkey, they found charming pitchers shaped like geese and one like a goat's head with horns and the mouth as a spout— an ancient version of the Mickey Mouse mug. Evidently this child of ancient Phrygia was so fond of his dishes and wooden toy animals — horse, lion and ox that the parents laid them in the grave with his body.

Dr. Rodney S. Young, leader of the expedition, believes the chold may have been -a prince or princess of about 700 B. C., when King Midas, of the golden touch, is said to have reigned over the Phrygians. Other finds of the expediincluding a clear, molded glass bn'vl and a pebble mosiac floor, indicate that the Phrygians had a more advanced culture than was formerly believed, according to Dr. Young.

Have him paste these together on a page. Print clearly or type each word under the pictured thing it names. )• YOUR CHILD AND HIS DEVELOPMENT To promote your child's social, emotional and intellectual growth, he needs the feeling of stability, security and opportunities for personal expression in his social relationships with other piaople.

The feeling for the need of security and love manifests itself in a baby very early in life. Many times at night, when it is dark and quilt, the baby would sob in his crib, either from fright of the darkness or lonliness, and on hearing your reassuring voice in the darkness and feeling the pressure of your hand on his body would nestle down to sleep again. Later, when he began noticing the world about him, on encountering something new, would only look at it from the protective area of your arms until he was familiar with it. Only when knowing that you wore in the background would he feel strong and venturesome and go out exploring on his own.

In reprimanding the child, it is important that the child knows that while you do not approve of what he has done, you still love him very, very much and that he is t4eing told for his own welfare.

He ought not be rushed, screamed at, or subjected to other kinds of nervous tensions, but kept in a quiet, regular routine of living and seeing his parents calm, in good humor and interested i what he is doing. Undue noises irritate and tire a child, who not understanding the cause of •the confusion only adds his own shrill cries to the whole. It is than that one must divert the child's attention by calmly talking to him, reassuring, offering him something to drink, milk, fruit juice, or a bite to eat.

A child needs space he can call his DIM to come to. to play. He needs to get away by hima'elf occasionally when he's tired of society. He needs a place

vESTNtK—WEST,TEXAS where ha can run and tumble and laugh without the fear of demolishing something.

It is noticeable in school children who have been restrained in school all day, who come home and throw down their books and run through the house until tney are out of breath, or dash out to skate or ride the bicyclia a few turns before they even have their after-school snack, to release pentup energy. It is a necessary outlet for normal, healthy children.

Your child needs, to form good routine habits, so he will know just what to expect and what is expected of him.

He needs his meals on time, play time and rest 'Unite arranged in an orderly, predictable pattern in his daily life.

The child needs to feel that he belongs, as an individual, in his family group, later on in his school group and still later in his gang.

As the child grows older he also grows bolder and reeds not only physical exercise, but mental and emotional exercise as well. He's now trying his wings on his own, stumbling, picking himself up and trying again.

The parent should see that each problem is difficult enough to stimulate efforts and increase ability but not so difficult as to bring frequent failure and discouragement. The child cannot develop his potential ability unless he is free to exorcise some decisions and meet some obstacles himself. The parent must trust the child enough to allow his taking some adventures and risks. Experiences hi independence and responsibility build confidence in him, respect ad resourcefulness. Expecting perfection from the child can only make for a high-tensioned, nervous child.

Goals readily attainable for him should be set, and according to his own pace. He should be treated with respect according to his age group, without babying him or without pushing the grown-up status on him.

We can see that our children are mentally well nourished by giving them material and opportunities that provide scope for their natural alertness and curiosity to function. Companionship of parents is of vital importance— of doing things together.

Besides the above the child needs social satisfaction and to know the standards of social behavior, to get along with people, to make friends and fit into community life. Respect and consideration of others is one of the first steps in social living.

We need not worry too much how our children will develop if the family is

8trana 27 a happy and affectionate one, if the family has grown up working and sharing its fun together.

Dear Girls: I ran across an article by one Ruth MiDatt, captioed "Hubby's Faults Good" which ran something like this, quote:— "A woman can turn her husband's faults into assets, if she is clever enough."

Liz Brown had done just that. When she married Harry, he had quite a few faults that made him less than the life of the party.

To begin with, Harry ht- very little to say. He could leave any group and probably not be missed for a couple of hours. But Liz has built Halry's inability to make conversationi into an asset. She has sold their friends on the idea that Harry is a deep thinker, who sits back quietly and forms his own opinions.

Also, Harry has no tact. But Liz has praised his honesty and forthrightness so much that his bluntness is admired by their friends, rather than deplorted as it might have been „if Liz hadn't found a better name for tactlessness.

Harry doesn't have a very important job. But Liz has seen to it that Harry isn't a man who hasn't succeeded. Instead she has built him up as a man who is vague about money and simply in love with his work.

That is just an example of one man and how his wife has influenced others to think about him.

But if you'll open your eyes you'll see all sorts of examples of how wives change their husband's liabilities into assets.

They do it by never admitting a fault is a fault and by always putting a nicer name on a quality that others might regard as a weakness or a failing.

It's surprisingly easy for a wife to make a husband's faults look like virtues.

For most people don't bother to judge others for themselves. They take somebody else's word for what another person is like.

And if a man't wifla is always presenting him in a favorable light, that's the way most others will see him. Unquote.

This Liz is truly a clever woman, presenting her husband to the public for what he is not. Most women I believe, ave pretty much contented with how their husbands appear to the public— it's the "at home" habits that are sometimes pretty vexing, such as getting one's husband to part with a dirty,

Strana 28 worn hat which he maintains is just getting broken in to be real comfortable, or a smelly pipe which also gets "just right" at this condition. Deep down, though, we wouldn't have them any different, only wonder if Miss Millett- could offer us a glorified word for "snoring."

Sincerely, The Editor's Wife * 4,1 FRIENDSHIP What is really meant by Friendship?

One often hears the remark "He is my friend" — but if put to a test, would the person referred to qualify as a friend?

Does merely associating with one another give sufficient proof of friendship, or is this merely acquaintance-ship? I believ., it is a mistake to call another "friend", until one knows that he really is one, lest the trusting person experience bitter disappointment. Where tlYare are troubles, rumors, doubts as to your character, do your so-called friends jump at conclusions, or do they go by their own convictions? Are they merely hypecrites or do they set the rumor in its place? Can you depend on their standing by you? Can they depend on you? Do they trust you? Do you trust them?

Oftentimes persons call you "friend" just er, long as they gain something from your friendship — just as long as something can be had from you. As soon as the receiving ceases, friendship draws to a close and the same persons may become your foes. In times of crisis one's "friendship" is put to the acid test — then we find what a small number of friends we really have. Oftimes the very ones who would be least expected to do you,,a good turn, stand with you, they are silent, do not boast of their friendship at every turn, but when the opportunity presents itself, we find them prepared to prove their friendship.

Someone, perhaps thru sad experience, has said "Confide in no-one, and you will not be betrayed". Emerson, however, , says "A friend may well be reekoned , the masterpiece of Nature".
