KU S NAS1 HISTORIE Narodil jsem se dne 2. zati 1854 v Palkovicich, okres Mistek na Morave.

Otec mtj jmenoval se FrantiSek a matka Johana rozena Bilkova. Bylo nas cel kern deset deti; z toho devet chlapct a jedno device. Dva chapel zeinteli jeSte jako kojenci. Devee pak melo Wit tet hochem. Nechtela nosit tenske Saty, radeji mela niutske, take si fajfku nebo ci garo zapalila a mutskY klobouk nosila na hlave, Nu, hotovY chlapik. Otec chodival na robotu do TrYdlandu. Lido se meli na panske robote velice Spatne. — Drab s nimi nakladal nelidsky, za, mac provineni byli jit telesne ttestani.

Lee roku 1848 robota byla zruSena a tak i toto trYzneni vzalo za sve.

ProSel jsem pouze obecnou Skolu, Tenkrat se totit na Skolu a udeni vtibec nebral velkY ohled — vetSi ztetel se bral na "otCena,S". — Tehdy byl rektoSkoly pan Vrana. Za dva roky na to kdy jsem vychodil Skolu zerntel a rektorern stal se Hofschneider z Mistku kterY byl na deti hodne ptisnY zvlaSte pokud se tYkalo zanedbavani Akaly.

Ja vSak musel chodit do Skoly pravidelne, nebbt' otec na to dbal, east() kikaval co se ve Skole nandiS nikdo ti nevezme.

V te dobe byl otec starostou obce kteiSrtto irtad zastaval pa dvanact let. 8kola byla maid, na.prosto nevyhovovala a proto chtel otec postavit vetSi budovu.

To ovSem vzbudilo velke povzdviteni vobci hlavrie domkati staveli se proti tomuto navrhu , — Ale pozdeji po dlouhYch debatach se vSichni ()beano sjednotili a byla postavena krasna budova ktera dodavala pekneho vzhledu obci.

Ptizemek Skoly byl ureen za byt Oitakrajan Parma z Tiche daroval skole tabuli s napisem "Narodu a viasti sla ,a—zdar se Skol dobrYch vykvetava". — byla postavena roku 1871. V te (tube se take konala slavnost na hate 1-,„adhoSti, Palkovice a okolni obce se spojily pod jeden prapor a putovaly k EadhoSti za Zpevu narodnich pisni hlavne "Hej Slovane".

Otec se take ptielrioval o to aby v naSi °bei byla zalotena zalotna, obeane Lepik a Baca byli mu k tomu napomocni.

Proto te domkati nemeli se zalotenim zalotny tadne vYlohy nestaveli se proti tomu jako tonni bylo psi stavbe Skoly kdyt si jednou prisel eetnik podepsat k otci slutebni knitku a vial nas omladinu mel radost -- co pry bude mit Rakou sko z naSi vesnice statnYch vojakil, lee jeho proroctvi se nespinilo nejstarg iaratr Filip odejel pied odvodem roku 1866 do Ameriky do Texasu.

Byl to t yrciS aiSek, pro nine. Ale piece jsem dal p •ednost Americe, byl jsem valycky proti vojne a sam jsem nechtel take byt vojakem.

Co mne hodne odradilo byl ptipad s rnYm mistrem u nehot jsem se ueil stolatskemu temeslu. Mij mists bYval vojakem, byl zdrav jako firm v mysli stale veselY at nahle roku 1872 dostal od vojska obsilku, te musi na dva mesice narukovat, kdyt se vratil nebyl vribec k poznani zkusil tam tolik, te vypadal spi se mrtvY net tivY. Ostatne to nebylo nic divneho, nebot' za Rakouska mel kith vetSi cenu net eiovek a to jut z toho chlvodu, ze kin se musel koupit kdetto vojaci se navelbovali zdarma.

Tehdy radii memu otci lekat Barak z Mistku, aby kandidoval do zernskeho sne mu, otec vSak tuto na.bidku neptijal jednak take proto, te neovlada,1 date nerneinu, ktera byla tehdy Utedni feel do zernskeho snernu byl pak zvolen krajan Kalus z FrenStatu.

Ptiblitil se bolestnY okarntik, nadeSel cis meho adchodu z viasti, rozloueil jsem se navtdy s rodiei, sourozenci jinSmi ptateli. Rozlouoil jsem se s naSi milou Moravenkou Dne 5, zati roku 1873 vyjelo nas nekolik emigranth z Palkovic a za sedm dni na to dne 12 zai-i vstupovali jsme na lod' v Bremen v Nemecku.

zustali jen nekolik hodin nade'g jsrne pluli dale MexickYm zalivem po te jsme presedli na lod' ktera vlastrie byla pro dopravu dobytka za celY den a pal jsme nedostali nic do fist a tak jsme hladoveil at do Galvestonu v Texasu.

Cesta na mori nam trvala celkem 21 dni v Galvestone jsme sedli na vlak a jell do Columbus. Dale jit 'Zelezna draha nebyla postavena a proto museli jsme se svezti s formany kteti s volskYm potahem ptivateli bavinu na prodej. Nalatill jsme na vozy ty vSechny kufry a na ne si pak sedly teny a dal . My muti jsme Sli peSky podel vozu a bavili jsme se stkilenim nebot' katelY z nas mel nejakou tu buchadku v ptiAtim roce z bus do San Antonio a pak kdytsAesta rostla jak houb7 po deSti ,poealy se take staveti drahy. V tehdejSi dobe byl Texas jeSte malo osazen, farmy nalezaly se jen blizko lesCr ponevadt si elovelt kousek pole ohradit dalo to mnoho price. Muni i teny jezdili na konich kdy koliv meli nekde nejake jednani, nebot' formanske vozy byly velice tetke a par \rola melt) co Mat aby je uthlo. Jinych vortl nebylo tenkrat a take jsme nemeli takove ptibytky jako jsou dnes. V nekte :Lem domku lido meli misto okna diru, jini tak meli desek nektera prkna byla ad sebe vzdalena, te se i koelta mohla protahnout o vSelijakou havet' avSem nebylo nouze Bylo nam proto velice tot ko ptivyknout americkim porneram. Ov Sem vSe se hned zmenilo jakmile se zaealy stavet drahy.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 1897

—HERALD--

Post aster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. BOX 490, TEMPLE, TE. Ats

The above architect's sketch shows the proposed plan for the SPJST Rest Hime which will be located on a tenacre tract in the town of Taylor, in Central Texas.

In our last SPJST Convention, held last June in the headquarters town of Temple, Texas, the convention •voted the initial scone of $100,000 for the creation of a separate organization with its own charter for the rest home, which is TO BE SELF SUPPORTING IN THE FUTURE, that has been the talk and dream of so many of our members, many of whom never lived to see this dream realized.

In this 60th Anniversary Year of the founding of our SPJST by our pioneer Texas Czechs, the individual lodges all over our state are in the midst of bust-

ling plans for furnishing one room in 'their lodge's name in this rest home, giving bazaars, dances, and other money making projects.

The one-story, summer-winter airconditioned rest home will contain 24 single rooms with semi-private baths and 8 double rooms with semi-private baths. The bedroom wings of the multifingered plan radiate from a large central dining and reading room. A game room , administration offices, and kitchen facilities for the storing, preparation and serving of meals. complete the initial layout of the home which has been designed for future expansion to doubt its capacity. Tile baths, asphalt tile floors. sheetrock walls and ceilings on wood studs will produce a pleasing residential effect, and sound absorbing

partitions between rooms will provide the privacy of a home, according to the architect's plans.

The whole SPJST family is like a beehive with activity with enthusiasm running high. Many lodges have already successfully reached their goal from their respective benefits held and the money is ready and waiting on the contractor to start. Once the plans are completed the building will go up quickly.

To the ,Seventeenth Convention delegates of our SPJST we offer our congratulations and thanks for having achieved the inception of thes benevolent, humanitarian and brotherly project, which our fraternal motto stands for.

It is, indeed, a beautiful sight!

PALD UP POLICYHOLDERS—NOTICE There seems to be some misinterpretation of the convention ruling that all paid up policy holders are entitled to the Vestnik.

In this case the "paid up" refers to those policy holders who carried their policies to MATURITY and are now paid up policy holders of a 10, 15 or 20 year policy.

Those who did not carry their Mau-

once policy to maturity and received a Reid up policy for that portion of the policy value it represented at that time ARE NOT entitled to the Vestnik. Before writing to headquarters for your Vestnik, please be sure that you are a Paid Up By Maturity policy holder with our SPJST. The subscription rate for the Vestnik is $3.00 a year for those who did not carry their policy to mattnity„

STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN If you cannot say something good, something nice, something favorable about your brother, do not say anyYou only.hurt yourselves, believe me, as you r deeds will find you out, sooner or later. We have a proverb in Czech: "Kdo jinemu jamu kope, sam do no pada"--` ,Don't dig a hole for your neighbor as you may fall, in it yourself."

Dear Sisters and Brothers: Our organizer's work is getting into full swing again, our newly appointed :Dtistrict Organizers are working out plans, best suited for their respective Districts. They are contacting the local lodges and organizers. Everyone of these District Organizers have had the Basic Course in selling Fraternal Life Insurance. They worked as 'organizers for this order for quite a few years, always being honest to both the prospects and our order, so I firmly believe that with their past record and experience they will be of great assistance to us in securing new membership and promoting better harmony among our members.

I realize that we have many other good organizers that qualify for the position of a District Organizer, and I must admit that it wasn't easy to make my decision in appointing these men, but, the enthusiasm they are showing in their work now, I am fully confident that they will make us very good District Organizers. They promised to devote their time and effort that this work will require of them.

They have all proven to me that they are honest, sincere fellow workers.

They have my full support, you have their support, now please give these men your support and I know we will make this, the 60th Anniversary year, a year most prosperous of the SPJST history.

The District Organizers are now sponsoring a contest among themselves to decide which district can write the most insurance by percentage between now and July 1st. So in their behalf, I ask of you to pitch in and help your District Organizers with all your ability to write more insurance, in your district. In what other way can you better prove to your District Organizer that you fully support him.

The cooperation of us all, the Supreme Lodge officers, Editor, District officers and organizers, local lodge officers and members will be of great assistance in securing new membership when we'll prove ourselves to the public, that we are living up to our motto of Humanity. Benevolence, and Brotherhood, we shall have no trouble in securing new membership. Wo must uia-

I have been watching our Vetnik very closely and I read it thoroughly I believe the Vestnik is improving, with every issue, I notice some-. very young members are beginning to write again, this is something we have been missing in the past. I firmly believe that Brother Hosek will make us a very good editor, and that we will again have a Vestnik we will be proud to show our neighbors and friends, hoWever we will all have to assume the responsibility to make our Vestnik even better by admitting to ourselves, that we are a fraternal order and treat our fellow members accordingly. When we do this, we will also have better attendance in our meetings, the Youth will attend our meetings and will be proud to be a part of our order. We don't have anymore trouble of our young members not attending our meetings if we will show our youth that we can work together in harmony, they will always come back and bring their friends with them.

In closing, I would like to say once more that by working in harmony with a lot of ethusiasm, our SPJST will have the greatest growth in its history.

Wednesday, March 691957 press their opinions. They usually say to the young ones, 'All of you are still young and inexperienced—we have been at this for years.' If you keep on 'dressing down' your young members in that way you put them in their places but chances are that they will never again interrupt you or maybe ever attend your lodge meetings. Would it not be so much better to take a few minutes to consider their suggestions with an open mind? In the future could you not take time to see if their ideas had some good points? Couldn't any part of it be applied in your program? If not, why not? Why can't you take the time and save these young members' feelings? All that is needed is to have patience and some tact on the : part of the older ones in handling the young members.

Now, I ask you brethren — does a mother abandon her young? No, she feeds, teaches and guides them as they grow. She encourages them and inspires them so that they may be able to take their rightful places in this world. Then, in her old age her children are ready to take over some responsibilities and take care of her.

Is our brotherhood any different from a good family? A fine example of our SPJST fraternity is our new old folks Rest Home, and I am proud of it.

"Children reared right will not forget their parents in their old age and so I hope our young members will do likewise. So you members, rear your young ones with kindness and respect and listen to their problems, to their suggestions and to their ideas. Give them a. feeling of being a worthy part of this brotherhood.

"If you don't think enough of them to make them, a partner in our SPJST, how can you expect them to fulfill their part when you all become old?

"Please give our young folks their chance— "Dad, if you see fit to print this or a part of it in our Vestnik, you will express my feelings and I bet some other young members' feelings as well.

I love you both, Your son, Louis 0. Hosek, Jr., S-Sgt. U. S. Marine Corps."

Women's Nook LODGE KAREL JONAS NO. 28 East Bernard, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters I am awfully sorry , Editor, I haven't noticed sooner that our letters should be mailed to West; excuse me for the trouble. It really was a mix-up.

Our Lodge 28 held its regular meeting Sunday, Feb. 10, with 31 members present. We had a very interesting meeting. It was a pleasure to see all the members together. Pledge to Flag was led by our Secretary Carrie Bohacik.

We have on the sick list Mrs. Mary Eastman of Bay City. She is already home from the hospital. We wish her a speedy recovery.

Our Vice President John Gajdosik brought up in the meeting that he received a book from Mrs. Rosa Truksa of Guy, Texas. The name of the book is "Vsetin," it comes form the old country Europe. Anyone who comes from that country or would be interested in reading this book can borrow it from our librarian.

I want to congratulate our Brother and Sister, Mr. and. Mrs. Stanley Bartos on their 19th wedding anniversary which was Monday, Feb. 25. Hope you will have many more happy anniversaries. I heard the request on the radio.

Well, we got another norther blowing today. It really got cool. We could use more rain. This dry norther sure will dry up the moisture. If it warms up I guess next week the farmers will be busy planting corn and potatoes.

Our next meeting will be the second Sunday, March 10, at 2 o'clock afternoon. So, members try to be present.

We have some more unfinished matters to discuss. Hope to see you all Sunday, March 10.

Our meeting was opened with 'the Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag and then bus'ess was attended to, then we just visited together for quite some time.

It is the . payment of a death certificate and the problems, that arise that every one of you ladies' could correct to a certain degree. Remember after you're dead, it's too late, and as we go along in life, with its births and deaths in each family, the policies of the family take on a different meaning too. For instance: A mother died in the family and upon investigation it was found that the father was made beneficiary to the policy, BUT, the father too is already dead some years. Had the mother checked her policy after her husband's death, the rounding up of heirs to this pOlicy would be so much simpler and the policy could be paid off IMMEDIATELY when the money is needed most for funeral expenses and possibly other bills connected with her illness. So, check your policies and see how up to date they are. If they are not, notify the Supreme Lodge at Temple of the new beneficiary and the next in line beneficiary or beneficiaries should your beneficiary pass away suddenly.

Another thing that could save much time and effort is to attach to your policy a statement saying where you were born, when you were born, who, your parents were, your brothers and sisters, etc. A little sketch of your life so that your family could send it in to your Vestnik without the trouble of trying to gather this information and possibly not getting it correct.

A lot of children don't even know where and when their parents were

T,

Another unusual but interesting fact is that a girl at birth is a month in advance of a boy; at twelve years of age she is from one to three years more mature. So there is nothing surprising in her pushing ahead of the boy her same age. Her gain in height will probably be the most noticeable way in which her body calls attention to the fact of her approaching maturity; her hips will begin to broaden a bit and her breasts will begin to develop. Between the ages of 11 and 14 years, girls become taller than boys for the only time in their lives. At the age of 1516 years the boys overtake the girls and keep on ahead with added height right on up into their middle 20's. It has been found that at 12 years in girls and 14 years in boys are most often those in which the greatest gain in height is made.

In weight the girls surpass the boys from the 12th to 15th year for a time but the boys outweigh them in their 16th year and right on through to their 20's. Part of the weight gain is due to growth of muscles. Boys always develop their strength between 12-16 years on this account. More boys are physically active at this time when their muscles are enlarging and strengthening so fast.

It is pointed out that: Children who are tall in years between 6-12 years, may be expected to be taller at maturity; though there are exceptions to this general rule. Boys who are sturdily built with broad hips and who are active in sports and other skills often mature earlier. Those boys who are small, slimmer and less active in athletics are more likely to have their growth spurt late.

Children who are relatively short before puberty are likely to remain on the "shortside" after they reach puberty. lIewever, growth at this time does serve to even things up in a way so that early and late maturing children end up appearing less outstandingly "different" from the group.

Our Texas sons and daughters do some mighty rapid growing in this Lone Star State. It's the climate—particularly our beneficent sunshine — that is conducive to growing such beautiful and, healthy children, plus modern research for better living—but they still have their growing problems.

In order to better understand the physiobiological developments taking place in our adolescents — if we can't remember our own any more — we submit finding that will help you better understand their behavior. We are told that our children do not fall over their own feet, blush, stammer, drop things because they are growing too fast or growing unevenly and their muscle coordination isn't good (that was the old belief), but do this because of their self-awareness which embar-1 rasses, confuses and makes them clum- I sy before an audience.

And we, as doting parents, in-laws, aunt s and uncles, grandparents too, only add to their discomfort in company with such tactless remarks as "My, but you've grown, you're all legs!"

Two generations a.go boys were smaller by 6 to 8% and lighter by 12 to 15% than the present day boy. Because of our knowledge of better food values, nutrition and our ever-increasing knowledge of health care, our present clay lad is not only taller and heavier than his grandad but also matures earlier sexually.

Live birth hospital deliveries increased from 42-4 per cent to 90.1 per cent during the period of Texas' greatest growth.

Also, the ratio of - 1954live births to deaths in Texas was well over three to one, while statistics 15 years ago indicate the ratio was only slightly in excess of two births per death.

Baby's chance of surviving the first year of life has more than doubled since 1940.

Mother, too, has reaped even greater medical benefits'. Fifteen years ago, the risk of death at childbirth was nine times greater than it is today.

Dr. Henry A. Holle, commissioner of health, announced that the reporting of :1!s and deaths and the percenten..o ye-,1.‘,:eneFs of registration to the Vial ti tics Division of the health department, was greater than ever before in Texas history.

In addition, Dr. Holle pointed out that the actual records received were more conapiete and correct than ever before.

By contrast, in years gone by, birth records received in the department would often omit the name of the infant. Death records were often incomplete, especially in the early days of state record, keeping.

• „g, • SLEEP Austin. -- The supersonic speed of modern life is costing us one of the most vital ingredients of good health—sleep.

That's the considered opinion of experts at the State Health Department who remember the easy, languid existence of days gone by—when be bop was just a hiccough.

Twenty years ago people got plenty of sleep and were better off for it, the health men said in making recommendatfon for avoiding insomnia. People knew about fission in those days, but it was the hook and line variety, rather than nuclear. Things have changed.

Say you stay up 20 hours a day. If you follow this routine for a week or SO at a time, first thing you'll notice is your hands jumping from nervousness. A dull ache will begin gnawing a t the base of your skull. You'll be picky and indifferent toward food.

You'll be quarrelsome — project casual remarks all out of proportion. It will sound like an insult when someone says hello. You might think a good night's sleep will fix you up. Maybe it will—on the surface. The nervousness might leave you and the headache may disappear. It could be that a single night of sleep will give you the sweet disposition that was formerly sour grapes.

But it's all on the surface. During the stretch of sleeplessness your heart may have been strained, your blood pressure increased, your digestion upset.

"These things," to quote State Health

V It STNIX— WEST, TEXAS Commissioner Henry A. Holle, "cannot be put aright by a mere tight hours in bed."

Sleep, the commissioner says, gives the human body a chance to recover from the fatigue of one trying day before the assault of the next. And it has to be natural to be beneficial. That's why sleeping potions are undesirable as a steady diet.

You have to Plan a sound sleep, and unclutter your mind a couple of hours before retiring. Here are the department's recommendations for doing exactly that: Do your heavy thinking before supper. Make it a rule that after the evening meal your train gets a rest. Subdue the lights around the house. Lights keep you alert, besides being tough on the power bill.

Get lots of fresh air. Sitting quietly on the porch might encourage the re, laxation so necessary for dropping off into sound sleep. So might a short drive —if you a void main travelled roads.

Reading light fiction , is also relaxing, but stay away from the gory private eye stuff.

Develop a bedtime ritual, the more sedate the better, to condition your mind for bed. And when you do retire, deliberately try to blank out those random thoughts that steal into your mind. ":

ACC NDENTAL POISONING IN CHILDREN Every year there are over 600 children under 14 years of age who are poisoned accidentally, 600 needless deaths! The year 1953 was particularly disastrous, with 484 little ones under 5 years victims of careless placement of poisons. Other than death, there are the crippling effects from caustic burns to the throat, brain damage from inflammation resulting from lead, poisoning, or blindness from certain chemicals.

Most of these deaths are the result of household cherriaals, but on the farm, the hams and other outbuildings offer numerous hazards for small children.

In the home, the agents responsible for poisoning in children are limitless.

Cleaning agents contain various chemicals: the oxalic acid and chlorine bleaches, lye in the form of washing powders, drain-pipe cleaners, or paint removers, household ammonia hydrochloric acid in' metal-cleaning fluids, and the deadly carbon tetrachloride used also in vermifuges, fireextinguisher fluids or solvents for paints. These are all swallowed in toxic or lethal quantities and the fumes from chlorine, ammonia, or carbon tetrachloride are damaging to the eyes and the brorc.:hi.

"Playing • hosra l tal, doctor, or nurse" resales in some of the accidents. The most popular huuseleold antiseptic is iodine and the iodine used to "paint a terrible wound" may also be given to "cure" little Susie, who is playing Mama An unstable teenage or pre-teenage child may, in a dramatic moment, attempt to "end it all" with the bottle with the red poison label, which is frequently the iodine.

tity, little more than an ounce probably causing death in a tot of less than 30 pounds. Methyl alcohol, used in paints, varnishes, paint removers, and "canned heat," is equally • dangerous.

Aniline dyes, found, in certain inks, children's crayons, and shoe polishes, result in frequent poisonings.

Lead, in paint on baby's furniture and toys, lead toys, and motor fuel, may catoee poisoning.

Mercury poisoning is particularly dangerous because o f the action on the kidney, (as is turpc naine and s.)gai given for cough!). Antiseptics containing mercury, some medicines to increase the flow of urine, and calomel (actually given to babies in teething powders) are the chief offenders.

Moth repellents, such as mothballs (which seem especially appealing to children), repellent cakes, and flakes contain one or more dangerous substances. Camphor, camphorated oil, or napthalene may be swallowed with little or no effects, yet fumes may cause liver damage nad cataracts.

Cosmetics, in this country where the annual sale is in unbelievable figures, cause poisoning, sometimes severe. Hair removers containing thallium' acetate are highly toxic. Nail polish removers made from acetone may cause poisoning, either from fumes or from drinking the liquid. Permanent wave solutions and eyelash dyes may be damaging to the eyes.

Poisons for ants, roaches, mice, and rats contain sodium fluoride, sodium fluorosilicate, phosphorous, thallium, arsenic, nicotine, or cyanide (cyanide is The candy coatings ard delicious col- also found in silver polish). Convulsions, ors of some cathartics make very pret- liver or kidney damage sometimes rety "play pills." These may contain sult.

Gases from leaking refrigerating systems and sewers accumulate in dark places ander the house or in pantries: Danger here is for older children of the "adventurous age."

PREVENTION is the most important' method of control. Medicines should bewell labeled and out of reach of small children. Furniture and toys should be finished with non-toxic paints and vary nishes. Crayons and pencils should contain vegetable dyes. Lighter fluid, shoe polish, shampoo, etc., - should be safely tbove the toddler's reach. qrsmetieS hoold not be on low dressing tables: Poisons for inkets, mice and rats shot/1d: be carefully applied so that there is 'no' possibility of little ones "samplingl! them.

The little 4-year old fidgeted and sqirmed and his mother kept telling him to be quiet and listen to the minister. When the boy could stand his mother's shushing no longer, he shrilled in outright defiance: "Well, why do I have to be quiet, don't you want one to wake up the people?"

Austin. — Rep. 0. H. Schram of Taylor and Rep. Herman Yezak of Bremond introduced a bill as co-authors to validate the organization and creation of the Brushy Creek Water Control and Improvement District.

The bill ratifies the boundaries, confirms the election creating the district and electing its directors, and declares the district to be a governmental agency with certain powers and limitations.

A safeguard in the bill provides that no funds can be borrowed from the federal government and no bonds will be issued until they have been approved by voting taxpayers in the district at an election set for that purpose.

The Brushy Creek watershed area extends over portions of Williamson and Milam Counties.

• • Speaker of the House Waggoner Carr appointed a five-man committee to be known as the Insurance Investigating committee. The object of this committee will be to investigate irregularities causing recent failures of insurance companies. The senate has a similar investigating committee.

In the senate, the house-passed Pool Bill failed to receive sufficient votes for the suspension of rules to take up the bill for consideration. The bill would require a run-off between the two high men in the special senate race.

Introduced was a bill to validate the organization and creation of the Brushy Creek Water Control and Improvement District along the Brushy Creek in Williamson and Milam Counties.

Insurance Hundreds of years ago, insurance was often a one-man business: One man would insure a ship cargo, say, and in doing so he might lose his fortune.

But in 1825 the British House of Commons looked into England's insurance business, and said this: When there's a risk, the best way to guard against it is to join with others; so that each man might lose a little, but no man can lose a lot. Spread the risk.

As a result, insurance today is a big business. We have millions of policies worth billions of dollars in force.

An insurance policy is a contra*. The company promises to pay you a9certain sum for loss or damage of the thing you Insure — your life, your home, your health and the like. And you promise to pay a premium for this protection.

Your policy sets, out what you have both agreed to. Most of the rules of the law of contracts apply to insurance policies.

There are many types of policies. And individual policies may vary: Check each clause carefully. Then have the insttru.i ance man explain it. Be sure all details cf the agreement are written into the policy` You and the company are;" ilf general, bound by the written word As a home owner, you have many risks, like fires, against which you OW insure yourself. Other insurable risks, are theft, windstorm, hail, glass breakage, cloudbursts, explosion, and the like.

Other household hazards also (quip damage. But people don't expect Iheni' and may not insure against them. For example, a tree may fall on your house,;„ or near some crossroad, a car, in crash into your home.

Sometimes you can make the person'' who caused the damage pay. But if hi has no money, and neither of you" has = insurance, you often must pay yourself: Suppose a guest slips and falls ,on your floor and breaks his arm, or,your dog bites the postman. You could be liable. You can insure yourself against many of these risks under the contracts. we call insurance policies.

Ani pet minut netrvalo a Zahofikovic straka stala uvazand na pevnY fetez u kamenneho tlabu ye Sktivankovic chleve a telatko navazovalo ihned nave znamosti v ohrade, kde skotaeilo asi pet kouskit nadejneho dorostu hoveziho dobytka.
